<p></p>
From January 2020 to January 2023, to contain the spread of COVID-19, China was placed on a nationwide public health emergency status and the country implemented wide-ranging control measures, including the “zero-COVID” policy. By 2023, the country had lifted nearly all restrictions and Chinese citizens had largely resumed their pre-pandemic lifestyles. The policy shift marked the end of a historically unique period of pandemic governance and thus now offers a timely opportunity to examine how major crises shape political attitudes in China.Youth in China have long played a critical role in political transformation and continue to occupy a prominent place in the contemporary political landscape.

New Evidence from China
https://muse.jhu.edu/article/984934
<p></p>
Since the launch of the reform and opening-up policy in 1978, China has achieved remarkable progress in its economic development. In nominal terms, the average annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate between 1979 and 2020 was 9.2 per cent, while national per capita disposable income correspondingly ratcheted up from 171 yuan to 32,189 yuan at an average annual growth of 8.2 per cent. Huntington1 argues that such a rapid modernisation of society and the economy is closely linked to corruption; he notes that corruption tends to be more prevalent during periods of social and economic transition than at other times. Consistent with this view, Wedeman2 observes that China’s rapid economic growth has coincided

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/984935
<p></p>
In the early hours of 7 October 2023, Hamas launched “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” by firing more than 2,000 rockets towards Israel while simultaneously conducting attacks via ground, air and sea routes. The attacks resulted in substantial Israeli losses, making it the most significant assault since the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Israel retaliated by launching “Operation Iron Sword”, imposing a blockade on Gaza and executing precision strikes against Hamas and other Palestinian militant factions.The Hamas attack shocked the international community and drew widespread condemnation. While China is not a major influential power in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, it has sought to position itself as a potential mediator.

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/984936
<p></p>
The Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF),1 adopted at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)2 in December 2022, establishes a 2050 vision and a 2030 mission for global biodiversity governance. As the successor to the Aichi Targets, which guided the previous decade-long commitment period through 2020, the GBF specifies the actions needed to implement the CBD by outlining four long-term goals and 23 action-oriented global targets, while acknowledging the mixed results of the Aichi Targets: none of the 20 targets was fully achieved globally, though six targets (9, 11, 16, 17, 19 and 20) were partially achieved.3 These goals and

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/984937
<p></p>
Since the handover of Macao to the People’s Republic of China (hereafter also referred to as PRC or “mainland China”) in 1999, the integration of Macao’s gaming industry1 into China’s broader economic framework has signalled the Chinese government’s recognition of the sector’s strategic importance. In 2022, Macao’s gaming regulatory regime underwent its first major revision in more than two decades: the amendment of Law No. 16/2001 (the “Old Gaming Law”) to Law No. 7/2022 (the “New Gaming Law”).2 This legislative overhaul introduced comprehensive modifications targeting key industry participants—casino concessionaires, gaming promoters (“junkets”) and gaming collaborators—to address vulnerabilities arising from

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/984938
<p></p>
Over the past three decades, China has made notable progress in catching up across multiple sectors, with growing emphasis on upstream, knowledge-intensive domains such as scientific research and its industrial application. This study extends Lee Keun’s catch-up thesis to the realm of science in contemporary China to systematically examine this transformation, trace its evolutionary trajectory over the first two decades of the 21st century and identify emerging patterns from the perspective of a catch-up strategy.Lee and his colleagues have shown—both theoretically and empirically—that countries achieving successful industrial catch-up typically pursue a three-stage strategy in their engagement with global value

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/984939
<p></p>
The internationalisation of emerging multinational enterprises (EMNEs) challenges traditional international business theories, which are based primarily on firms’ experiences from developed economies.1 In contrast, EMNEs typically originate in home-country environments characterised by institutional voids,2 which not only impede effective interactions between buyers and sellers but also raise the costs of accessing capital, information and new ideas.3 Contrary to conventional views, however, a growing body of studies suggests that firms can leverage these adverse home-country conditions by transforming the experience gained from disadvantages into unique competitive advantages,4 even using their domestic market as

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/984940
<p></p>
Over the past four decades, China has experienced the world’s most rapid urbanisation process, a crucial indicator of national modernisation. According to the country’s Seventh National Population Census, conducted in 2020, the urbanisation rate reached 63.89 per cent, corresponding to over 900 million urban residents and spanning more than 600 cities.1 Chen, Liu and Tao observe that this urbanisation transition is characterised by rapid development, economic efficiency, relatively lean capital expenditure (mainly labour and land resource costs) and relatively low development quality.2 Satterthwaite, McGranahan and Tacoli argue that urbanisation, while it reduces land available for other activities, expands

<p></p>
In 2021, China’s No. 1 Central Document—Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Comprehensively Promoting Rural Revitalization and Accelerating Agricultural and Rural Modernization—officially put forward the concept of “poverty-alleviated areas” and explicitly called for the continued advancement of rural revitalisation in these regions.1 China’s white paper Poverty Alleviation: China’s Experience and Contribution (2021) likewise emphasises that “China will continue to support the development and growth of speciality industries in areas that have shaken off poverty”.2 Industrial prosperity not only stimulates the internal vitality of rural development but also
