Strategic coal-power phaseout reallocates carbon-water co-benefits towards water-stressed regions in China
Coal-power phaseout is critical for climate mitigation and increasingly relevant to water-security planning. Yet, unlike geographically uniform climate benefits, the value of water savings depends heavily on local scarcity. Whether shifting water scarcity considerations from ex-post evaluation to ex-ante pathway design can reshape the carbon-water nexus remains unclear. Here we develop a unit-level assessment framework to examine the spatiotempor…

The legal dilemma of medical artificial intelligence in China
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is profoundly reshaping clinical practice and transforming the doctor–patient relationship from a traditional physician–patient dyad to a composite structure of “physician + AI–patient”. While this structural shift can improve diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency, it also poses unprecedented challenges to the normative design and legal application of the physician's duty to inform. In traditional …
How Pandemics Affect International Investment
We evaluate the impact of the 2003 SARS‐CoV‐1 epidemic on inbound cross‐border M&As in China. Provinces that experienced high levels of SARS infection rates also suffered a significant decline in cross‐border M&A activity, both in terms of the number of transactions and the overall dollar volume. The negative impact is entirely driven by a decline in deals for non‐state‐owned targets. The large, negative effect was short‐lived, and it largely dis…

China's major Late Neolithic centres and the rise of Erlitou
Invented Borders
Patriotic campaigns and mass mobilization draw on existing xenophobic attitudes of the public, reinforcing the ‘us vs. them’ dualism between China and ‘the West’. However, patriotic campaigns are not always top-down, state-led, nor are they always primarily driven by political ideology. Patriotic content appeals to a growing nationalist audience who consumes a mixed feeling of perceived victimization at the hand of foreign aggression and the prid…

Critical sentences had a temporarily ambiguous reduced relative clause. Across lists, critical sentences were rotated…
Understanding the Dynamics of the Individual Donor’s Trust Damage in the Philanthropic Sector
Although trust is long known to be critical to predict behaviors in a charitable context, little research has examined trust damage and its effects on giving behavior. Trust damage is an intermediate state between trust and distrust, rather than a simple reversal or extension, and can change over time. Our research explores individual donor’s trust damage through a dynamic evolution. Across the longitudinal survey, we conclude that the trust dama…

Illegal Religious Activities” and Counter-Terrorism in China
The fight against terrorism prompts governments to differentiate between “good” religious practices and the “bad” ones. The simplistic dichotomy of “good” and “bad” Muslims has led to a cascade of criticism, but a fallacy underlying this dualism remains underexplored. This paper examines the “no true Scotsman” fallacy that is prevalent in the political discourse surrounding terrorism and religion. It argues that China's attempt to counteract the …
