The insurability of drunken driving liability, that is, whether insurance companies should pay for traffic accidents caused by the insured who is a drunk driver, has always been a controversial issue in China. Current legislation is conflicting. Insurance Law of the People’s Republic of China 1995 insists a negative view through the amendments in 2002, 2005, and 2013. Article 22 of Regulation on Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles 2006 specifically this issue is believed to be ambiguous and still did not respond it in the 2019 revision. the Supreme people's Court in 2012 enacted the Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Cases on Compensation for Damage in Road Traffic Accidents, which has established a supportive position in Article 18. These conflicts have been bringing difficulties to Judges in judicial practice. On the other hand, Judges have been increasingly inclined to support the insurability of drunk driving liability in judicial cases since more than a decade ago, as confirmed by the results of 168 cases between 2006 and 2012 and 262 sample cases between 2013 and 2019. However, these cases also show that the conclusions reached by judges in the application of the same provision are not uniform. From the perspective of the public function of liability insurance, the insurability of drunk driving liability should be supported, which is also the main reason why more and more Judges have been becoming supporters. Compared with others, the public function of liability insurance means that it can provide more protection both for the insured and victims, as a result, it would be a financial approach in governing risks of the State. And the practice and theoretical research in the US have proved that it is the fundamental driving force for the rapid development of liability insurance, including settling the problem of drunk driving, and the decline of moral hazard is also essential for the developing process. As far as the dispute, we should balance the relationship between public function and the commercial nature of liability insurance in the development, improve Chinese law by learning from the reform achievements of the UK in recent years. Accordingly, this article is divided into four parts. First of all, conflicts in current Chinese legislation are sorted out; secondly, there comes an analysis of the supporting views by Judges in judicial cases; thirdly, a key argument is demonstrated, that is, the insurability of drunk driving risk should be affirmed from the perspective of the public function of liability insurance; finally, the focus is how to balance the public function and commercial nature of liability insurance.

This paper aims to increase the accessibility of primary health care services in vulnerable areas by telemedicine to resolve the problems of health imbalance caused by the increase in the number of chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes, the imbalance of medical demand and supply, and the continuous rise of medical expenses due to the super-aging of Korea. On the other hand, telemedicine in China, a neighboring country of Korea, can be seen growing and developing day by day. In order to explore the problems of telemedicine and the future direction in Korea, a comparative analysis of telemedicine between China and Korea was conducted. The background, policies, and some cases of telemedicine in China and Korea were investigated, and a comparison was made in terms of legal and financial support and provision standards. First, China government legally permits telemedicine and regulates basic principles, which is administered by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the PRC and tries to promote telemedicine through procurement of guidelines. On the other hand, even though Korea has attempted to allow the legal of telemedicine, it has not been able to implement or even revise the law due to opposition from the medical community. Second, consumers of medical services in China can receive remote medical treatment, counseling, prescriptions, and delivery from medical personnel. However, only remote consultation between local and remote locations was mainly conducted in Korea. Third, telemedicine is not yet covered by health insurance both in China and Korea, and when China, which provides a wide variety of telemedicine services, attempt to expand the application of medical fees, Korea also discussed whether to apply for health insurance for telemedicine services. Consequently, Korea's telemedicine is not limited to pilot projects and research over the past 20 years, but it is necessary to revise the legal system that takes into account the needs of actual medical consumers and the cost-effective aspects of medical resources, and also gradually expand telemedicine through social consensus with the medical community.

After the reform and opening up, the transformation of the Chinese economy into a market economy took place at a very rapid pace. Private entrepreneurial activities played a significant role in one of the pillars of this economic development. As the individual's economic freedom expanded and the factor market was formed in stages, the production activities previously in charge of the public sector in the planned economy were replaced by private entrepreneurs. New markets for products and services were continuously formed. Private entrepreneurship activities have been developing and playing different roles at different times in the transitioning Chinese economy. This paper explores its changing status by analyzing the developmental aspects of these private entrepreneurship activities. In this process, various aspects of Chinese private entrepreneurship activities are revealed and analyzed by region. The development of the Chinese market economy takes on a variety of shapes by region depending on the policy of the central government and the response to the conditions of the local government. This paper highlights the different status of private entrepreneurship activities by region and the policy approaches of local governments in China by analyzing them separately. Next, this paper highlights the crisis faced by Chinese private entrepreneurship activities and introduces the Chinese government's policy transition efforts to cope with it.

The concept of restorative justice has triggered the consideration of the issue of the leniency of victim's forgiveness from the perspective of crime prevention and control and has limited the range of application of it based on its principle. Normative researches on the leniency of victim's forgiveness are still being in a state of self-talking, and thus gaining experience from judicial practice to confirming and nurturing the normative researches is obviously a more effective way to ponder. Through the scientific selection and analysis of the samples of larceny, mayhem, and crime of causing traffic casualties, it is not hard to find the existing experience and operational mechanism of the strategies of controlling crime that is called leniency of victim's forgiveness in judicatory practice is not the production of normative research logic but is undoubtedly more accord with the peculiarity of victim forgiveness as a social governance mechanism and provides a direct reference for designing an elaborate and scientific system. From the sample analysis of larceny, collective empirical rationality in judicatory practice was given a more lenient treatment than the “Sentencing Guidelines” for the victim's forgiveness in it. From the sample analysis of mayhem, the severity of the crime of the perpetrator obviously related to the incidence of the victim's attitude on sentencing. From the sample analysis of the crime causing traffic casualties, whether the probation was suitable for some crimes was highly sensitive to the circumstances of the victim's forgiveness. Envisaging these collective experiences in judicatory practice, thus can the concept of restorative justice be realized more purposefully.

In this paper, we introduce China's risk management policies since 2015 when it started to issue local government bonds and investigate the accompanied risk factors. First, China had established the maximum limits of local governments’ debts but the way of calculating them is not still transparent. Second, the substitute bonds issuance which was implicitly done until 2019, was practically ceased in 2020. This might, however, block the disposal of the non-bond debts. Third, the maturity of bonds began to be systematically controlled. The maturity of the project bonds is not still flexible. To understand the realities of local governments’ debt management, we analyzed their fiscal data and bond issue records. We found that 99% of local governments’ debt became bonds which are supposed to be transparent, but forced transparency could lead to unexpected risks. The limits of debt are obeyed as a whole but seem to be adjusted when needed. The off-the-budget accounts of some local units was in deficit and their project bonds could be distressed. We also found that the short history of local bonds and the regulation on their maturity make the redemption distribution uneven. Accordingly, the period of 2019~2022 is most likely a golden age of local governments’ fiscal health. But the burden of redemptions varies in different provinces considering the present values of their debts. The risk factors so far examined could be classified into the institutional ones which can be eased by some complementary measures and the structural ones which are difficult to deal with due to the nature of the Chinese economy system.

This article aims to investigate internal migration patterns and their relationship with regional inequality in China’s latest urbanization. The results of this study indicate that the influx of migrant laborers into the central and western regions is associated with increasing economic growth based on the secondary industry and acceleration of the urbanization phase. And, higher growth rates based on the secondary industry and urban expansion in both central and western regions have contributed to relaxing both regional and provincial inequality. Also, the findings imply that the phenomenon of mingong huang has become a labor demand issue, not a supply issue, with changing regional economic structure and urbanization level. Accordingly, it would require governmental efforts to advance the quality of the migrant laborers, which can intensify the linkage between accumulation of human capital and labor market in a region. These efforts would help activate and expand the domestic market with balanced regional economy as well as help achieve sustainable and complete urbanization.
