From drama to reality: Teachers’ reflection on morality development in Chinese universities
This study reports the findings of a follow-up investigation into the influence of drama education on teachers’ morality development at the pre-service and beginning teaching stages. Data are drawn from a case study of extracurricular drama activity in H teacher education university. This study demonstrates that drama-based pedagogy shapes pre-service teachers’ professional morality through four interconnected mechanisms: dialogic fieldwork bridg…

Lifetime Earnings Premium of Higher Education: Evidence from the 40-Year Career of the 1951–1955 Birth Cohort in Hong Kong
The global trend of higher education expansion has increasingly transformed knowledge-based economies, with Hong Kong exemplifying this phenomenon through a dramatic rise in university participation. Nevertheless, ongoing scholarly discussions question the economic returns to university education. The varied research outcomes may be attributed to inadequate examination of long-term earnings trajectories. This study addresses this gap by construct…
Parental Homes as Feathered Nets: Home-Leaving Trajectories of Young People in China
Research on young people’s transition to independent living has focused primarily on the stay/leave dichotomy, an approach increasingly inadequate for capturing the prolonged, reversible, and complex nature of contemporary transitions. This is particularly salient in East Asia, where intergenerational coresidence is a long-standing norm that is now being reshaped by shifting socioeconomic pressures and evolving youth aspirations. Existing researc…

Firm Compliance, State Enforcement and Social Insurance Coverage in China
How did China achieve remarkable expansion in social insurance coverage in recent years? The significant social insurance coverage expansion in China since the mid-first decade of the twenty-first century appears to counter the findings of a substantial segment of the policy implementation literature, which portrays local governments as lacking enforcement capabilities and incentives. This study argues that firm compliance plays a crucial role in…

A pedigree-based cohort to study the genetic risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases: Study design, baseline characteristics and preliminary results
Background: We initiated the Fujian Tulou Pedigree-based Cohort (FTPC) as the integration of extended pedigrees and prospective cohort to clarify the genetic and environmental risk factors of cardiometabolic diseases. Methods: FTPC was carried out in Nanjing County, Fujian Province, China from August 2015 to December 2017 to recruit probands with the same surnames and then enroll their first-degree and more distant relatives. The participants wer…
Social competition and the contingent legitimation of pay differentials in reform-era China
This study extends recent research on the social determinants of the preferences for distributive disparities. We drew on a recent survey of more than 58,000 participants from 335 large cities in mainland China and measured pay differentials with a vignette experiment about allocating bonuses between two secretaries of different performance levels. Our ordinal regression models adjust for city-level random effects and exploit variation in early-a…
Pursuing dreams in an Asian global city: Does host language proficiency matter for Asian minorities
Asians who are not attracted by western culture may pursue their dreams in an Asian global city. While most people in Asia do not use English to communicate in their daily life, past literature on international migration focuses on English-speaking countries. This study uses Hong Kong (branded an Asian global city) as a case study to examine whether mastery of a native language (Cantonese) and/or English, a dominant non-native language in the com…
Institutional prestige, academic supervision and research productivity of international PhD students: Evidence from Chinese returnees
Since the emergence of global university rankings in the 2000s, East Asian universities have been recruiting academics with doctoral degrees from Western countries to strengthen their competitiveness in the global university league tables. Governments offer scholarships to support students in their overseas doctoral studies and encourage graduates to return. Although much attention is given to researchers with overseas degrees, little is known ab…
Labour market experience, educational attainment and self-reported happiness: Crowding-out amongst young people in Hong Kong
Recent literature on education and work well recognises the ‘crowding-out perspective’ of how higher education expansion impacts the labour market experience of young people with different educational levels. However, the relationship between the labour market experience and young people’s self-reported happiness remains less well understood. This paper examines whether a ‘crowding out’ effect occurs amongst post-secondary degree-holders on the s…
China's move to mass higher education since 1998: Analysis of higher education expansion policies
Under the knowledge‐based economy, higher education plays an important role in cultivating talents and enhancing national competitiveness. Compared with other countries, China is a latecomer in the expansion of higher education but has undergone considerable transformation from elite to massification in a short time since 1998. Most important, China's higher education expansion is not limited to the undergraduate level but includes junior college…
The Paradox Association between Smoking and Blood Pressure among Half Million Chinese People
Background : The association between smoking and blood pressure (BP) has been explored extensively, yet the results remain inconclusive. Using real-world evidence of a large Chinese population, we examine the effect of smoking on BP levels. Methods : We utilize half a million adults from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) study with baseline sampling collected between 2004 and 2008. Multivariable linear regression analyses are used to estimate line…

Revisiting the innovation systems of cross-border cities: The role of higher education institution and cross-boundary cooperation in Hong Kong and Shenzhen
Over the past decades, the development of knowledge-based and innovation-led economy has gained the attention of higher education (HE) institutions. The Quadruple Helix Model of the relations amongst universities, industries, government and society provides a general framework for systematically investigating the dynamics of innovation amongst these agents. However, knowledge about their influence on cross-boundary cities is limited. The ways in …
Towards corporatized collaborative governance: The multiple networks model and entrepreneurial universities in Hong Kong
Realizing the growing importance of universities in Knowledge Transfer and innovation-centric entrepreneurship, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) actively encourages government-funded universities in Hong Kong to work with the market and industry, as well as wider society to stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship. This article aims to examine the changing university governance in Hong Kong particularly when …

Personal income, local communities and happiness in a rich global city: Evidence from Hong Kong
The importance of individuals’ social environment as an explanation for the ‘happiness-income paradox’, but also accounting for the negative relationship between income inequality and subjective well-being in macro-comparative perspective is now widely recognized. At the same time, however, debates are still ongoing about the specific role local communities play in moderating the relationship between personal income and subjective well-being. Thi…
Social Protection for the Informal Sector in Urban China: Institutional Constraints and Self-selection Behaviour
The Chinese government has recently expanded the scope of urban social insurance programmes. However, social protection for the labour force of the urban informal sector, which reaches about half the number of urban workers, lags significantly behind. This under-coverage may be due to institutional constraints, particularly the household registration system hukou, and self-selection behaviour related to the limited benefits of social insurance. D…

Divergent Urban-rural Trends in College Attendance: State Policy Bias and Structural Exclusion in China
Despite the massive expansion of higher education in China since 1998, the cohort trends of urban and rural hukou holders in college attendance have widened sharply. Prevailing explanations emphasize the advantages of urban students over rural students in school quality and household financial resources. We propose the structural exclusion hypothesis that underscores the unintended consequences of a state policy: the urban concentrated expansion …
The Making of Higher Education Inequality: How Do Mechanisms and Pathways Depend on Competition
We extend the theoretical contributions of Alon (2009) by proposing and testing two hypotheses about the context dependence of inequality of educational opportunity (IEO). Alon offers a model of IEO that incorporates class adaptation and organizational exclusion as two test-score-based mechanisms that perpetuate class inequality. She hypothesizes that the changing level of IEO depends on trends in competition. Through a secondary analysis of Alon…

A new approach to construct dynamic models for NOx control in a FGR furnace
This paper presents a new approach to construct dynamic models for NOx control of an industrial furnace with flue gas recirculation (FGR). In this paper, the full‐scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are carried out for the FGR furnace and the CFD results are used to construct the transfer functions to represent the linearized dynamic models of the furnace. The controllers are then designed based on these models. Finally, the resu…
The Butterfly Dream —Narrating Women, Sex, and Morality in Chinese Theater
In China, theatrical representations of the liberated woman in the twentieth century have focused on women's equal rights in political, economic, and social relations as well as their right to romantic relationships. Until recently, however, women have rarely been represented as autonomous and active subjects when it comes to sex and morality, but rather as objects of male desire or passive recipients of sexual pleasure generated by male actions.…
