East Asian International Relations: Evolution and Social Construction
The “India exception”: An echo of the “China human rights exception” in the 1970s–1980s
Recent Canadian allegations of a link between Indian agents and the murder of a Sikh Canadian leader have sunk the Canada-India relationship. Diplomatically speaking, the US is balancing between supporting its traditional ally Canada and its newfound strategic partner India in its struggle against Chinese hegemony. India's seemingly exceptional treatment at present reminds us of the “China human rights exception” in the 1970s and early 1980s, whe…

Reshoring from China: Comparing the economic statecraft of Japan and South Korea
This article examines the Japanese and South Korean governments' reshoring and diversification policies of supply chains especially away from China since the early 2010s, with particular attention to the measures taken under the 2020–21 pandemic. The article also explores how much Japanese and South Korean reshoring from China, a subset of foreign economic policy, counts as economic statecraft as a deliberate government attempt to achieve geopoli…

Optimized Neural Network Based on Genetic Algorithm to Construct Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease Prediction and Early-Warning Model
Accompanied by the rapid economic and social development, there is a phenomenon of the crazy spread of many infectious diseases. It has brought the rapid growth of the number of people infected with hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD), and children, especially infants and young children's health is at great risk. So it is very important to predict the number of HFMD infections and realize the regional early-warning of HFMD based on big data. Howev…
The Prediction of Hepatitis E through Ensemble Learning
According to the World Health Organization, about 20 million people are infected with Hepatitis E every year. In 2015, there were 44,000 deaths due to HEV infection worldwide. Food, water and climate are key factors that affect the outbreak of Hepatitis E. This paper presents an ensemble learning model for Hepatitis E prediction by studying the correlation between historical epidemic cases of hepatitis E and environmental factors (water quality a…
Zheng He’s Seven Voyages into the Namoli Ocean–the Indian Ocean
In the history of the development of human civilization, the Silk Road has been an important route of traffic and exchange between the East and the West. From Zhang Qian’s 張騫 opening up of the Silk Road across the Western Regions ( Xiyue 西域) to Zheng He’s 鄭和 sailing to the Western Oceans ( xia xiyang 下西洋) more than 1500 years later, China had a continuous desire to explore beyond its borders. At the time of Zheng He, the term “Western Oceans” ( x…
Political Survival and Yasukuni in Japan’s Relations with China
Studies of Japan–China relations have flourished in recent years. Rightly so. Observers pay more attention to conflicts between great powers, which visibly shape international relations. As this area of scholarship is maturing, we see more specialized works published. Mong Cheung’s book addresses a narrow topic, a welcome development for the field. However, that choice also allows more detailed engagement from other students of Sino-Japanese rela…

The China Boom is an important and balanced scholarly book addressing these questions. It distinguishes from the existing work by providing a macro-sociological perspective. It traces the origin of Chinese capitalism to the mid-17th Century when the Chinese system of political economy began to interact with the global capitalism ori…

The Great Recession and China's Policy Toward Asian Regionalism
The global recession has had seemingly conflicting impacts on China's policy toward Asian regionalism. But China has never viewed regionalism and globalism as mutually exclusive and has seen strategic value in pursuing both. A stronger China emerging from the crisis is playing both regional and global games with a stronger hand
The United States, Japan, and the European Union: Comparing political economy approaches to China
This paper examines US, Japanese, and European political economy approaches to China, and their effect on US–Japan and US–EU relationships. Great powers with a greater security concern in dealing with another major country care more about power while those with less of a concern are preoccupied with calculations for wealth. China's rise and its actions have posed a far greater security challenge to the United States and Japan and are driving the …

Spending Strategies in World Politics: How Japan has Used Its Economic Power in the Past Decade
I investigate how Japan has used its economic power in the past decade, focusing on two issues: (1) Japan has chosen to be a supporter rather than a challenger in using its economic power or “spending”; (2) Japan has adopted a “Second Strategy,” balancing more accommodating spending strategies with less accommodating “earning” ones; this is in contrast to the “First Strategy” or the Yoshida Doctrine, with its focus on developing its economy while…

Human rights and Sino-US relations: Policies and changing realities
This paper examines disputes over human rights between the United States and China since 1972, with its focus on the period since 1989. The issue of human rights has been intertwined with strategic and economic issues in the Sino-US relationship. This explains why human rights was not treated as an important issue in the 1970s, why it became contentious after the cold war ended, why the Clinton administration decided to delink the human rights is…
Japan and the Asian Development Bank
THIS PAPER studies Japan's policies in the Asian Development Bank 1(ADB) . Japan has enjoyed a dominant position in the ADB, different from other international organizations of which it is a member. Japan has been a major donor and assumed top managerial positions since the bank was founded in August 1966. The ADB was the first international institution created and led by Japanese. This case thus provides a glimpse of Japan's behavior as a domina…
Reflections on the Study of Zheng He's Expeditions
Zheng He's series of naval expeditions was one of the remarkable incidents in Chinese history as well as in world history. His seven voyages, sponsored by the powerful Ming dynasty between the third year of the Yongle period (1405) and the eighth year of the Xuande period (1433), were no small affairs. During those twenty-eight years, Zheng He led his fleet over the seas, covering ten thousand li and traveling to dozens of countries and areas. Th…

The impact of China's rapid economic growth on the environment and economic development in the Asia-Pacific region has become a serious concern for China and the international community.

Ming History Research in China Since 1990
Ming studies in China have entered a new stage of development since 1990. Forming a key link toward the end of a long chain of ancient Chinese history, the history of the Ming dynasty, with its distinct quality of change and innovation, has drawn much scholarly attention. The influence of the Ming dynasty with its history serving as a key to the door of modern China has, as Professor Farmer observes, lasted five centuries and is still felt today

Tensions in Recent Sino-Japanese Relations
This paper examines the unusual case of the May 2002 Shenyang Incident. Acting out of character, Tokyo confronted China, motivated by cumulative resentment of recent Chinese actions. Beijing, for its part, reacted with restraint, owing to growing confidence in its place in the world and the continuous moderation of Japanese policy since 1998
