Frontier analysis and Quality of Care Index (QCI) of common non-communicable chronic respiratory diseases in older adults
Introduction Common non-communicable respiratory diseases contribute substantially to the global burden of disease, particularly in the older adults. Although previous studies have examined the burden of individual respiratory diseases, comprehensive analyses of multiple diseases in the older adults remain lacking.Theory We conducted a secondary analysis of Global Burden of Disease 2021, applying Socio-demographic Index (SDI) stratification, a Qu…
Localizing challenges
Civil society organizations (CSOs) are often portrayed as “agents” of urban change that respond to large-scale societal threats such as economic downturns, urban inequality, or environmental risks. Yet even within the same locality, CSOs differ markedly in how they perceive and localize threats. While some turn broader societal threats into actionable organizational mandates, others fail to do so. Our study proposes that managerialism, understood…

Is the Normalisation of US Tariffs on China Driving the Decoupling From China in Global Value Chains
The United States has sustained high tariffs on imports from China. This study explores the impact of these tariffs on China's export performance and its position within global value chains. The findings reveal that additional US tariffs caused a moderate decrease in the prices of Chinese exports to the United States, accompanied by a sharp contraction in both quantity and value. For non‐US markets, tariffs depressed prices but left aggregate qua…

Are You the One? China's TV Dating Shows and the Sheng Nü 's Predicament
This study looks into TV dating shows in post-millennial China. These widespread shows, exemplified by Fei Cheng Wu Rao (translated, by both local and global media, as If You Are the One), open up an ongoing social forum, which, to varying extents, enables self-articulations and renegotiations of class and gender identities and gives voice to selected female participants of the media. Through the lens of critical discourse analysis, the paper foc…

The Ladies Vanish
Many notable female sociologists have vanished from the canonical history of American sociology. As the most influential crowd-sourced encyclopedia, Wikipedia promises - but does not necessarily deliver - a democratic corrective to the generation of knowledge, including academic knowledge. This article explores multiple mechanisms by which women either enter or disappear from the disciplinary record by analyzing the unfolding interaction between …
Selling Cosmetic Surgery and Beauty Ideals
This essay looks into the Web sites of representative cosmetic hospitals in mainland China and examines their rhetorical constructions of beauty norms for contemporary Chinese women in the promotion of cosmetic surgery. My analysis reveals the tension between Western and Chinese beauty ideals. I argue that the resistance and empowerment of the local industry in face of global impacts, however, camouflage the hegemonic power that creates new force…
Packaged Glamour
This essay examines the images of the bride constructed by China’s burgeoning bridal media that sell lavish wedding products and services. Through the lens of semiotics, the author focuses on analyzing bridal magazines widely circulated in China’s consumer culture. The analysis shows that China’s evolving wedding industry adapts the trite, oppressive trope of “romantic” Western wedding rituals into a bricolage of global fashions, lifestyles, beau…
Sinification of Zhuang place names in Guangxi, China
Zhuang, the largest minority language in China, is the label given to a variety of Tai languages and dialects spoken mostly in Guangxi. As a result of the process known as Sinification or Sinicisation stemming from the influx of Han soldiers and settlers moving in from many directions, but primarily the north, many Zhuang place names (toponyms) were changed to Han or pronounced with a Han accent or spelled in Chinese in such a way as to obscure t…
Geographic patterns of Zhuang (Tai) kinship terms in Guangxi and border areas
Historically-speaking, centuries of interactions between Han Chinese newcomers from the north of China and indigenous Tai-speaking ethnic minorities in the south have left deep, indelible traces in the language and culture of the latter and raise questions of identity and language policy in modern times. The language and culture in this study is Zhuang, one of many Tai languages and the largest minority language in China today. Using kinship term…
The Power of Qing
This article examines the web series Guardian (dir. Zhou Yuanzhou, 2018) as exemplary cultural texts of Chinese danmei, which portrays homoeroticism and male queerness in postsocialist China within the contexts of increasing institutional and political homophobia. The textual evidence shows that Guardian constructs queer subtexts and brings out the queer potentialities of the seemingly nonhomosexual media production via the following strategic ne…
