The escalating debt issues of Chinese local governments have become a subject of considerable scrutiny and analysis. Against the backdrop of the global economic challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the focus on the debt structure of various economic entities has heightened with particular attention drawn to the local governments in China. During the three-year-long response to the Covid-19 crisis Chinese local governments have incurred substantial fiscal expenditures related to pandemic control measures. These include vaccination campaigns quarantine protocols medical relief efforts and support for livelihoods. These fiscal commitments have played a pivotal role in accentuating the debt issues faced by local governments. Simultaneously the sustained downturn in the real estate market marked by the sequential bankruptcies of major real estate companies adds another layer to the fiscal challenges confronted by local governments. The ensuing reduction in revenue notably from land sales has further contributed to the deterioration of fiscal health. The debt structure of Chinese local governments has evolved in close association with Local Government Financing Vehicles (LGFVs). These entities established by local governments to secure investment funds have played a crucial role in borrowing from banks and issuing corporate bonds. The funds raised by LGFVs have been primarily directed towards social infrastructure construction and real estate development. However structural issues including mismatches in fund maturity and the operational and repayment structure of projects have compounded with the recent downturn in the real estate market, leading to persistent risks of debt default. In essence the challenges in the real estate market have substantially constrained the income derived from land sales a vital revenue stream for local governments. This study aims to delve into the formation process and structural intricacies of the exacerbated local government debt. It employs a theoretical framework that considers the administrative nature of LGFV management, along with concepts such as fiscal decentralization and soft budget constraints to provide a comprehensive examination and analysis of the current state of Chinese local government debt.

Recently, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) has become a new paradigm for corporate management and investment as a global trend. In particular, the board diversity is being emphasized as a standard related to the corporate governance of ESG. In a broader sense, the board diversity includes race, gender, nationality, and sexual orientation, and in a narrow sense, the board diversity focuses on gender diversity, among which female directors are a key issue. In this regard, while some countries implement a female director quota system that forces the appointment of female directors, others implement a system that entrusts the appointment of female directors to the autonomy of companies. In general, the board of directors is a main body in a company's business decision-making, and the responsibilities of directors who are members of the board of directors are gradually expanding. Since there is an important relationship between corporate governance and sustainable growth, the issue of the board diversity has become an important concern for long-term investors. There are a number of empirical studies that say that expanding the number of female directors can improve the monitoring and supervision functions and decision-making functions of the board of directors and can improve corporate management performance through changes in corporate culture. In other words, it can be evaluated that there is a correlation between securing gender diversity and improving corporate management performance or corporate governance in the board diversity. From this point of view, in order for listed companies in China to further grow into a global company, it is necessary to pay more attention to securing the board diversity, such as expanding the number of female directors, and the Chinese government needs to strengthen policy support on the board diversity. In conclusion, the following institutional improvement measures should be taken to improve the board diversity of Chinese companies. First, it is necessary to promote policies that provide internal motivation for the board diversity for Chinese companies. For example, in most companies, it is necessary to implement policies to promote the appointment of female directors because the board diversity is insufficient. Second, it is necessary to promote policies to improve the quality of information disclosure by Chinese companies regarding the diversity of the board of directors. In addition to promoting the introduction of a mandatory disclosure system, it is necessary to develop qualitative and quantitative disclosure indicators. Third, there is a need to improve the evaluation model for the diversity of the board of directors and ESG of Chinese companies. The ESG evaluation model needs to be improved by incorporating long-term practical experience. In order not to neglect the diversity of the board of directors, it is necessary to delegate the evaluation to a more specialized institution such as the Women's Federation to summarize the experience and use it to improve the overall evaluation model. Fourth, it is necessary to establish a regular exchange platform between mainland China and Hong Kong so that companies can share and learn experiences and examples of ESG practice between companies in various aspects

The global economic landscape has undergone profound transformations since the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic, introducing complexities and challenges to the world's wine market as it navigates the post-COVID era. This research is dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of China's burgeoning role in the global wine industry, poised to assert itself as a key player in major international wine markets in the imminent future. The study meticulously examines the developmental trajectory and current state of China's wine industry, elucidating the challenges encountered, ongoing mitigation efforts, and offering discerning insights into future trajectories. Methodologically, the analysis delves into pertinent global wine trends, scrutinizing vital aspects such as vineyard surface area, wine production, consumption, exports, and imports. A focal point of the study is the assessment of China's present standing across these critical dimensions. Notably, as of 2022, China holds the third position globally in vineyard surface area, the twelfth in wine production, the seventh in wine imports, and the eighth in wine consumption. The pivotal drivers behind the noteworthy expansion of China's wine market are deeply rooted in the country's economic reform and rapid development subsequent to its globalization. Key events, including China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the hosting of the Beijing Olympics, have functioned as catalysts, propelling trade activities and initiating a substantial upswing in the wine sector. Despite sustained growth, however, China's wine market has encountered a downturn since 2012 for domestic wine consumption and since 2018 for imported wine, owing to a combination of external factors, such as the economic pressures of 2018, the US-China trade dispute, the COVID-19 outbreak, and stringent regulatory measures, compounded by internal factors like evolving consumer trends in China. In 2022, the global wine market reached a valuation of $458.5 billion, with an anticipated Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.5% until 2028, projecting a valuation of $635.8 billion. While China stands as a significant consumer of wine, with only 3% of its population engaging in wine consumption, and the annual per capita wine consumption falling below half of the global average, this suggests substantial untapped potential for further growth within the Chinese wine market. Indeed, the Chinese wine market is poised to ascend to the pinnacle as the largest global wine market, alongside the United States, in the near future.

Entrepreneurship plays a vital role in national development, and China recognizes the importance of promoting and supporting entrepreneurship among college students to address the challenges of unemployment. While the government's encouragement primarily aims to reduce unemployment, students themselves are driven by the pursuit of self-realization and value in their entrepreneurial endeavors. This study focuses on Chinese undergraduate students who have received entrepreneurship education. By employing empirical analysis methods and surveying 610 students, it explores how entrepreneurship education influences the Entrepreneurial Behavior of college students. The study utilizes SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0 for structural equation analysis. The results show that practical education positively impacts the inclination towards entrepreneurial behavior, while the positive influence of theoretical education is not confirmed. Additionally, harmonious passion and obsessive passion act as mediating factors between practical education and the inclination towards entrepreneurial behavior. The study confirms the moderating effect of family support but does not validate the moderating effect of policy support. The findings enrich providing new perspectives the model for nurturing entrepreneurship talent in Chinese universities.

The purpose of this study is to explore the structural relationship between self-leadership, self-esteem, problem-solving ability, and career maturity for Chinese university students. In order to achieve the research problem, 960 university students from eight four-year universities in six cities in Shandong Province, China were conducted. The survey was conducted from June 1 to August 1, 2023, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 programs. Based on the research results and discussions, I would like to present the conclusions as follows. First, Chinese university students' self-leadership significantly affects career maturity directly and indirectly through self-esteem and problem-solving ability. Second, Chinese university students' self-esteem has a partial mediating effect in the relationship between self-leadership and career maturity, and problem-solving ability has a partial mediating effect in the relationship between self-leadership and career maturity. In addition, self-esteem and problem-solving ability had a partial double mediating effect in the relationship between self-leadership and career maturity. Therefore, in order to improve career maturity, students' self-leadership, problem-solving ability, and self-esteem should be increased. In addition, implications were provided from two directions: students and educational institutions.

This study verified the intention to use the robo-advisor of the MZ generation in China using the technology acceptance model. The results of this study are as follows. First, external factors had a significant effect on the perceived ease of use, external factors on the perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to use, but the perceived usefulness did not affect the attitude of use. This seems to be because the MZ generation in China already recognizes the usefulness of robo-advisors. On the other hand, it is believed that the perceived ease of use influenced the attitude of use because they know that it is useful, but they think it should be easy to use. Therefore, industries using robo-advisors should put more effort into promoting the ease of use rather than promoting the usefulness of robo-advisors. Second, as a result of indirect effect analysis, the perceived ease of use between external factors and the attitude of use showed an indirect effect, but the perceived usefulness did not. This can be seen as a result of perceived ease of use affecting the attitude of use, but not the perceived usefulness. In addition, as a result of multi-mediation effect analysis, perceived ease of use influenced the intention to use through perceived usefulness and attitude of use. This is a result of proving that once the MZ generation in China considers the use of robo-advisors to be easy and simple, it will be perceived as useful for their financial design, and that the perception of usefulness affects the positive attitude toward the use of robo-advisors, and that a positive attitude toward the use of robo-advisors can eventually lead to the degree of use of robo-advisors.

This paper analyzes the strategy for the reunification with Taiwan by the Chinese Communist Party during the Xi Jinping era, employing a modified application of the Network Theory of International Politics. As a network actor, the Chinese Communist Party under Xi Jinping actively engages in the establishment, deployment, and normalization to Taiwan as an object. In the 'network establishment phase,' the Chinese Communist Party builds a preceding network by vigorously enforcing ‘one country’·two systems in Hong Kong. Based on this, in the 'network deployment phase,' it deploys a strategy of one country, two systems as a 'critical point' in Taiwan. This can be seen as Xi Jinping's era Chinese Communist Party aiming to establish an 'institutional network' in Taiwan. However, institutional network becomes an 'incomplete institutional network.' The issue lies in the fact that despite this incomplete institutional network, Xi Jinping continues to persist and strengthen the ‘one country’·two systems strategy in Taiwan. Now the ‘one country’·two systems strategy serves as a kind of norm within the cross-strait relations. However, the deploying cross-Strait reunification strategy during the Xi Jinping era carries the limitation of reinforcing anti-mainland sentiments and strengthening Taiwan's identity.
