The Long Twentieth Century, and counting? Global financial networks, geopolitics, and the making of China Concept Stocks in the US
Amid growing concern about the geopolitical reordering of the global economy, this paper examines the structural entanglements between geopolitics and global financial networks. Against accounts that portray geopolitics as a recent and external disruption to financial globalization, it argues that geopolitical dynamics have long been embedded in the formation and operation of global finance. Taking inspiration from Giovanni Arrighi, the paper dev…

Global trends in childhood urinary tract infections, 1990–2021: Results from the GBD study
Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) represent a prevalent urological disorder in childhood populations with substantial clinical implications. This study reports global trends from 1990 to 2021 in incident cases, incidence rates, mortality counts, mortality rates, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and DALY rates attributable to childhood UTIs. Methods: Utilizing Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 data, we analyzed incidence, mortal…
Striving for sovereignty across the cloud finance stack: A relational comparison of the United States, the European Union, and China
Platform finance implies financial institutions’ growing dependence on the infrastructure and technologies of large tech firms. This reliance manifests itself most clearly in cloud services provision where American technological hegemony has triggered concerns about technological sovereignty in the European Union. In China, American Big Techs have not gained much of a foothold given the role of domestic Techfins in a wider attempt to install algo…
‘We resolve our own sorrows’: Screening comfort women in Chinese documentary films
This article adds a critical lens to the vicissitudinous public remembrance of the comfort women in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the oscillating representations of comfort women in Chinese documentary films. First, it probes how the violated bodies of comfort women on the screen constantly challenge and disrupt the entrenched gender norms in the interstices of the PRC’s official paradigms of “national humiliation” and “national greatn…

The prevalence, incidence, and persistence of self-reported visual impairment among Chinese population with diabetes mellitus: Evaluation from a nationally representative survey, 2015–2018
Aims: Our aim was to investigate the prevalence, incidence, and persistence of visual impairment (VI) and their correlates among the Chinese population with diabetes mellitus (DM) over 3 years. Materials and methods: The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey is the first nationally representative longitudinal survey of the Chinese population. A cross-sectional analysis of prevalent VI in 2015 consisted of 2,173 participants with DM. A l…
The impact of healthcare industry convergence on the performance of the public health system: A geospatial modeling study of provincial panel data from China
Objective: This paper examines the impact of healthcare industry convergence on the performance of the public health system in the eastern, central, and western regions of China. Methods: Public health performance was measured by a composite index of three standards: average life expectancy at birth, perinatal mortality, and maternal mortality. The healthcare industry convergence was measured using a coupling coordination degree method. The spati…

Mediating Effect of Body Mass Index and Dyslipidemia on the Relation of Uric Acid and Type 2 Diabetes: Results From China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
Objective This study assessed temporal relationships of serum uric acid (SUA) with blood glucose and determine the mediating effects of body mass index (BMI) and dyslipidemia on the relation of SUA and risk of type 2 diabetes. Methods Participants aged ≥ 45 years were participated in 2011 and followed up until 2015. Cox proportional hazards regression with a robust variance estimator was performed to explore the association of SUA with the risk o…
Dynamic characteristics of drought conditions during the growth of summer maize
This study aimed at investigating the applicability of a SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model in understanding the effects of drought on summer maize. A real-time irrigation module was developed for the downstream irrigation area of the Yellow River to estimate the real-time irrigation of crops. By further simulating the dynamic evolution process of soil moisture content, a dynamic drought evaluation model of summer maize was established, …
The brokerage role of Hong Kong in global financial networks: The case of mainland Chinese companies’ US listings
This paper explores the prominent and enduring brokerage role of Hong Kong in facilitating mainland Chinese companies’ US listings. We argue the brokerage role needs to be interpreted in both global and territorial dimensions. Situating Hong Kong in the global context, it uses its connectivity in global financial networks, and especially its close tie to the network core, New York, to broker between global and local scales. In its territorial con…
