AI export and digital silk road
Introduction There is a lack of original research investigating the relationships between China’s artificial intelligence (AI) exports and their possible impacts on strengthening Digital Silk Road (DSR) co-operation. This paper addresses this gap by studying the distribution of China’s AI export projects to Southeast Asian countries and examining whether larger Southeast Asian AI importers were more active DSR partners. Methods The analysis emplo…
China’s passport power
The concept of passport power has become an increasingly relevant measure of a country’s soft power and global standing. Existing scholarship usually ranks countries’ passport power by the number of visa-free travel destinations its passport holders can enjoy. Despite being informative, such an understanding is overly generic, which may not necessarily fully assess the passport power itself. The research question is studying how many travel desti…
China’s passport power and belt-and-road initiative

This research article fills that gap by examining the relationship between China’s BRI influence and passport power, using 2024 data from the Henley Passport Index. It investigates whether countries offering visa-free access to Chinese passport holders are primarily BRI partners and whe…

The relevant literature argues that rural-to-urban migrant workers and their dependents have been experiencing discrimination, exclusion, and stigmatization in the ur…

Indonesia’s anti-extramarital sex legislation
On 6 December 2022, Jakarta passed a controversial law criminalising extramarital sex within Indonesian territories.

Then, the author visits Indonesia’s minimum tolerance of prostitution, arguing how such an impractical policy hinders Jakarta from erad…

The Application of Human Capital Theory and Educational Signalling Theory to Explain Parental Influences on the Chinese Population’s Social Mobility Opportunities
Existing studies argue life chances are, in part, vertically reproduced. Such a statement is applicable to the Chinese contexts as, but not limited to, parental hukou status, to some extent, determines the life chances their children receive. In this essay, the author would like to introduce human capital theory (HCT) and educational signalling theory (EST), and assess how the applications of each of these two models can enrich the understanding …
Internal Migration in Chinese Cities
Introduction. In China, urban police tend to arrest and interrogate internal migrants when crimes occur, as they believe migrant cohorts are the main cause of crime. Detecting risk factors in migrant children's delinquency is necessary in order to allow authorities to limit the scope of crime. Methods. This essay explores studies from Chicago School of Criminology, in additional to other relevant western criminological literature. This essay inve…

Chinese literature has a propensity of relying on sociological theories from the modern West, prompting the review essay to address theories of capital, social mobility, cultural preferences and otherwise based on leading western literature. This review essay addresses how an increase in social mobility …
