Visible Fists
This article explores the performance of Taiwanese business groups in China before and after Xi Jinping’s rule. It delves into the relationship between an authoritarian regime and foreign direct investment, an area where empirical research of firms in China is lacking. Utilising data from 1995 to 2022 encompassing 550 Taiwanese business groups and the top 5,000 firms, our analysis reveals that firms with higher pre-2012 investments in China exper…
Introduction
Reactivating a movement legacy
Deterrence, Assurance, and Countermeasures
This study examines the consequences of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s 2022 Taiwan visit and China’s military response, using survey data from 2,027 respondents in Taiwan and 4,575 in Shanghai. The visit achieved its goals: assuring Taiwan’s public and creating a deterrent effect on China’s public. In response, China’s military exercises aimed to alleviate domestic concerns about US involvement (counter-deterrence) and to undermine Taiwan’s conf…
Northern Hemisphere Urban Heat Stress and Associated Labor Hour Hazard from ERA5 Reanalysis
Increasing surface air temperature is a fundamental characteristic of a warming world. Rising temperatures have potential impacts on human health through heat stress. One heat stress metric is the wet-bulb globe temperature, which takes into consideration the effects of radiation, humidity, and wind speed. It also has broad health and environmental implications. This study presents wet-bulb globe temperatures calculated from the fifth-generation …
Government-sponsored disinformation and the severity of respiratory infection epidemics including Covid-19
Autocracy login
This study discusses whether the internet contributes to the rise of civil society or provides the state with a means to suppress civil society. By examining cross-sectional time-series data of 153 countries from 1995 to 2018, this study demonstrates that internet censorship is a reactive strategy used by autocracies to suppress civil society. Although rapid internet diffusion might undermine internet censorship in autocracies, since the Arab Spr…
The Umbrella Movement
Subcontractors’ Dilemma
Since the 1970s development studies have conveyed an impression of Taiwanese firms as being active small and medium-sized enterprises ( sme s) with flexibility to successfully survive in a competitive global market. On the contrary, we use the unbalanced panel data of 2,969 top manufacturers during 2002–2015 to explore why and how Taiwanese firms expanded their scale and scope of operations in the new century. Our findings indicate that Taiwanese…
Manufacturing Suicide
This article examines how global value chains (GVCs) have shaped a world factory regime, based on the case study of the Foxconn group in Shenzhen, China. We identify three features that characterize a world factory regime: the GVCs’ impacts, the fragmented structure of corporate governance, and workplace despotism, and propose a concept of “global fragmented despotism” to explain changing labor conditions, workers’ suicides and resistance uncover…
