Narrating a global order with Chinese characteristics
Improving primary students’ computational thinking through cross-curricular teaching
In recent years, national ministries of education worldwide have implemented computational thinking (CT) skills in their curricula. Due to the challenges of implementing cross-curricular CT themes in primary schools, design-based implementation research (DBIR) can be used as a targeted approach that requires researchers and teachers to construct a participatory process to develop a shared understanding. Therefore, this study adopted the DBIR appr…
Exploring healthcare facilities’ readiness for standard precautions in infection prevention and control
Background: Despite the significant morbidity and mortality caused by healthcare-associated infections worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), there is a lack of understanding of the readiness to apply standard precautions for infection prevention and control (IPC) in healthcare facilities across different LMICs. Methods: We analysed nationally representative health system data from the Service Provision Assessment surv…
Conceptualizing China–U.S. rivalry through the lens of globalization in an era of changing structure-agency dynamics
This paper explores China-U.S. rivalry through the lens of structure-agency dynamics within the context of globalization as a tool for studying the competition between the two powers.The globalization-shaped world economy is identified as a highly interdependent and intertwined structure within which heterogeneous agents interact.In an effort to shift the balance of power in its favour, the U.S. is endeavouring to contain China's economic and tec…
Can urban-rural public services drive the realization of sustainable development goals? An empirical study of a typical rural‒urban integration pilot area in China
Foreign language anxiety, enjoyment, and boredom among Chinese secondary students
For decades, studies on learner emotions in foreign language learning have been predominantly focused on foreign language anxiety, and recent years have witnessed a surge in the exploration of other positive and negative emotions such as enjoyment and boredom. The current study aimed to extend this line of inquiry and explored the bidirectional relations between foreign language achievements and learner emotions through a questionnaire study amon…
Developing and Testing a Design-Based Learning Approach to Enhance Elementary Students’ Self-Perceived Computational Thinking
Computational Thinking (CT) is regarded as a crucial competency for all children in the 21st century. There are misconceptions about CT which confounds CT skills with programming skills. However, CT skills and programming skills are not the same. CT is a broader skillset of cognitive thinking that is integral to complex problem solving. Teaching and assessing CT should not only focus on computer programming. In this project, a new design-based le…
Predicting the daily counts of Covid-19 infection using temporal convolutional networks
The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted the global economy and society. One of the key challenges in combating it was predicting its spread to take appropriate measures, such as lockdowns and social distancing. These measures have now been lifted, and many countries are entering the final stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is [...]
Soft Power with Chinese Characteristics
Empirical analysis of China's health diplomacy toward Latin America and the Caribbean in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic suggests that even though the region remains peripheral among China's foreign priorities its health diplomacy functions as a diffusion tool for increasing its soft power in the region, particularly against the background of the evolving China-United States rivalry. The source and development of Chinese soft power in the Gl…
China-US rivalry
This article aims to provide a framework for conceptualizing the China-US rivalry. It argues that while the China-US rivalry is distorted to be an analogy to the Cold War, it must be understood as an intra-core competition between two different capitalisms. Theoretically the paper is inspired by the world system theory’s perspective on “cycles of hegemony” and the Kautsky-Lenin debate on inter-capitalism relationships. The causal nexus of the two…
The rise of China and its impact on world economic stratification and re-stratification
The article provides a framework for understanding the historical trajectory of China’s rise and its impact on the conventional stratification of the capitalist world-economy of the core, semi-periphery and periphery. Inspired by World-System Theory, the author analyses the process through which China’s global economic rise is challenging the status quo of the world-economy’s established structure. In other words, China’s economic rise is modifyi…

Understanding the Multiple Facets of China’s “One Belt One Road” Initiative
Mapping China's 'One Belt One Road' Initiative
The Endgame or Resilience of the Chinese Communist Party’s Rule in China
From 'Politics in Command' to 'Economics in Command
This article proposes a framework for understanding the way the Chinese Revolution emerged, developed and achieved power (1921-49), then further consolidated in the period of socialist 'uninterrupted revolution' (1949-77) and was finally abandoned by the post-Mao regime (1977 to the present). This analysis is based on a perspective of discourse theories framed in historically new forms of political, social and ideological relations. In other word…
The marketdemocracy conundrum
The market‐democracy conundrum
The objective of this article is to characterize and problematize the post-Cold War ideological triumphalism of the free market and liberal democracy. Through a historical‐cultural‐political approach to studying the concepts and inherent logic of the free market and liberal democracy and their interactions, this article claims that such an ideological paradigm cannot serve as a universal political‐economic system for nation-states, nor can it be …
The market–democracy conundrum
The Transformation of Ideology from Mao to Deng
This article aims at making a dialectical assessment of the development of social welfare between the period of Mao’s socialism and Deng’s economic marketization. It examines the transformation of ideological discourses between the two periods and its impact on social welfare outcomes. It posits that an ideological system is important in affecting the outcome of social welfare policy. Mao’s welfare policy, despite certain shortcomings, created a …
Sleeping in the same bed with different dreams
Since the late 1980s, Chinese and American scholars and journalists have been variously either fascinated or irritated with Sino‐U.S. relations, often producing extreme views ranging from glowing praise and unqualified optimism to revulsion and deep pessimism. From time to time, U.S. politicians and observers selectively use the “rise and fall” of Sino‐U.S. relations to justify their existing theories and prejudices. In recent years, many formerl…
Democracy and Human Rights
The purpose of this article is to present theoretical and empirical arguments which try to transcend mainstream debates on democracy and human rights. First, it argues that promotion of democracy and human rights has never been the main goal of foreign policy for the United States. Promotion of democracy and human rights is only a tool for global intervention in order to realize the U.S.-designed "new world order," just as anti-Communism was the …
