Based on an analysis of the Asian International Input-Output Table(1990, 2000, 2013), this paper focuses on changes in Import dependency structure between China and ASEAN. Considering the industrial structures of the two countries and the structure of the trade between them, special attention was paid to the manufacturing-oriented whole industry, which were analyzed on the basis of a more detailed industrial classification than the other sectors. The empirical results showed that ASEAN depends on imported intermediate inputs from China, particularly in the Electrical and electronic, general machinery, metal products, transportation machinery, Textile and Chemical industry. These results have greatly contributed to the increase in China’s trade surplus with ASEAN, and the trade imbalance is expected to further intensify in the future.

The aim of this study is to first, examine the current status and the main features of environmental cooperation between Korea and China; and second, to analyze the constraints and facilitating factors for environmental cooperation between the two countries. Environmental cooperation between Korea and China began in 1993 when the environmental cooperation agreement between the two countries was reached. Over the past 25 years, the main features of environmental cooperation between the two countries were identified as follows: the paradigm of development and growth highlights the environmental cooperation; the portion of Korean environmental goods in China’s market is maintained at about 20% since 2008 compared with the portions in other countries; the volume of trade with China in the area of environmental technology is relatively high compared to other service sectors. However, investments for environmental protection service sector with China is relatively low. Furthermore, the agendas and participants in regards to environmental cooperation are diverse. The factors that are constraining the development of environmental cooperations between the two countries are the current unstable situations in regional security and the differences between the two countries’ views on the sources of pollution. The facilitating factors for the cooperation between the two countries are the high levels of interest of the two countries’ leaders in environmental pollution and their commitments to support the current environmental policy. First of all, considering the changed status of China’s economic power, Korea needs to promote environmental cooperation with China on the basis of a new paradigm and global norm in environmental protection. In order to ensure sustainable environmental cooperation with China, Korea needs to separate environmental cooperation from other areas of cooperation with China. In addition, Korea needs to make an effort to actively prepare measures to create and secure new markets in China, linking between green policies and ecological environment-related industries, which are recently under tight regulations in China.

Since the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, the global economy has changed in many ways. In particular, the global economy is facing serious adjustments with the normalization of new normal and international economic fluctuations are intensifying. This is changing the positive factors and the market environment that led to the rapid economic growth of China, including exports and investment. This is affecting not only the international recession but also the growth of the Chinese economy. Moreover, the Chinese economy has been exposed to many problems accumulated in the process of rapid economic growth, and has entered into a new stage in Xinchangtai(新常态) due to the complex action between the problems. Accordingly, Chinese domestic and international public opinion and academic research related to the Chinese economy are focused on whether it is hard landing or soft landing. In particular, whenever there is some change in the Chinese economy, the possibility of a hard landing is getting stronger with a pessimistic outlook. This debate can be seen as a result of the difference from the Western economic theory. This study analyzed the implications of the meaning and characteristics of “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for New Era(新时代中国特色社会主义)” which was recently announced by Xi Jinping(习近平), the General Secretary of China’s Communist Party, on China’s economic development in connection with “Xin Chang Tai(新 常态)”. We also analyzed the impact of reforms in China on new growth potentials. In addition, the “B&R(一带一路) Initiative”, which the Chinese government is being pursued as major government project, and the “Go globally (走出去)” strategy will have a positive impact on China’s economy. These factors are expected to make possibility of soft landing in conjunction with sustainable growth of the Chinese economy, deepening reform, and creation of new engine for economic growth. In particular, we expect the “Go globally” strategy based on the B&R initiative to lead to the internationalization and expansion of the Chinese economy. In summary, the Chinese economy is expected to have a higher chance for soft landing.

This study suggest strategies to expand pork exports to Macao through understanding characteristics of its pork market based on results from analysis on its pork market, and surveys on consumers and importers. For this purpose, we surveyed consumers and importers in Macao to understand the characteristics of the Macao pork market, propensity to consume Korean pork, and the possibility of expanding Korean pork exports. The consumer survey results show that Macao consumers consider freshness and hygiene/safety as the most important factors in purchasing pork. They also say that the parts of pork purchased most are neck bone, ribs, loin and tenderloin. In addition, the Korean pork is found to have a very high degree of satisfaction, so Korean pork has very high possibility of success in the Macao market. Next, importers in Macao are willing to increase Korean pork imports. They suggest that price competition and stabilization, promotion, brand storytelling, and government financial support are required for Korean pork to be successful in the Macao market. The strategies for expanding Korean pork exports to Macao, proposed by this study, are systematic disease management, establishment of Korean pork brand image thorough quality and hygiene/safety management, and government export policy supports.

After the founding of New China, China has experienced the development process of class struggle and economic construction. During this period, the Chinese government shifted its view on religious policy from suppression to relaxation. In other words, the process of socialist construction and the reform and opening up after the founding of new China have made the Chinese government’s leaders to take an increasingly open altitude to religious issues. Under such circumstances, Chinese Christianity has enjoyed rapid development in recent decades. During the transitional period of social structure, people attach much attention to religion because the more unstable the times is, the more psychological comfort people need. China’s traditional religions and values have been hit greatly after the Cultural Revolution. For modern Chinese who are full of chaos and unease in life, Christianity can easily become their psychological object of sustenance. As we all know, China is a socialist country led by the Communist Party of China. Nowadays, many young Chinese people do not maintain a hard-working attitude toward communism. Their moral system fails to exert power that is different from the past in terms of pragmatism and materialism. To make matters worse, more and more young people have expressed a friendly attitude toward Christianity, ringing the alarm for the Communist Party of China. Thanks to the economic boom, the Government led by Xi Jinping has gained more confidence than in the past. According to recent reports, the religious policy of the Government led by Xi Jinping appears to have reinforced its religious control policy. So what kinds of policies will the Government take in the future in respect of Chinese Christianity? Based on this, can we infer the future development direction of Christianity? This is the subject of this paper. Since the Government led by Xi Jinping comes to power, the main altitude of the Chinese government for Christianity is the sinicization of Christianity, which is closely related to the unique Chinese thought. China has had several experiences in the history of the sinicization of Christianity. Besides, the Chinese Buddhism has already gone through many twists and turns, thus successfully realizing the sinicization of Buddhism. Now no one considers Chinese Buddhism as a foreign religion, but rather as a religion of Chinese nation. Such a success has further encouraged the Chinese government and its leaders to demand that Christianity also go along the path of success that Chinese Buddhism has taken.

This article analyzes security dilemma on the Korean Peninsula and the prospect of the relationship between China and the Korean Peninsula from the perspective of the complementary effect of Community of common destiny and public goods and how China could provide the world with international public goods. Nowadays, the power structure on the Korean Peninsula has undergone serious changes and this creates great instability on regional security order. This instability mainly results from the reality that China and the United States can not meet demands of regional public goods. However, compared with the deterioration of the geopolitical environment on the Korean Peninsula, the positive role of geo-economy is also deepening. Geo economy can defuse geopolitical pressure and propose the solution to the security dilemma by exploring the road of cooperation and win-win situation. The core point of this blue print is that we should look for the way of thinking to realize two track parallel under the principle of separation of economy and politics. If China want to strive for the global leadership, she should set up stable alliance system. For that, China needs to make the surrounding countries feel China’s tolerant foreign relations in terms of security and economic benefits.
