Expressing (distorted) dissent against the Party-state out of internalised racism on X
This article critically examines a troubling development in grassroots resistance to authoritarianism, which we term ‘distorted dissent’. Using the Great Translation Movement (GTM) as a case study, we explore how its coordinators mobilise affective claims to substantiate critiques of Chinese people’s national character, whilst leveraging X’s connective affordances to amplify their reach in the transnational digital sphere. Such affective claims s…
Manufacturing Racialised Misogyny in China’s Digital Manosphere
This article examines the consumption of WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) games within China’s sports fandom through a dual gender-racial lens, using celebrity basketball player Caitlin Clark as a case study. Drawing on a dialectical-relational approach to critical discourse studies, complemented by an intersectional lens on gender and racial injustices, we unpack how Chinese fans co-construct Clark as an ideal sportswoman on Hupu, …
Religious belief, subjective social status and residents’ happiness
This paper empirically investigates the impact of religious beliefs on residents’ happiness based on CGSS data from 2010 to 2021. The specific impact of religious beliefs on residents’ happiness is estimated by gender, urban-rural status, health status, and regional distribution. Endogeneity is addressed through the use of instrumental variable and propensity score matching methods. A mediation effect model is employed to test the significance of…
Analysis of clinical characteristics and influencing factors of fever after electroconvulsive therapy
We found that fever after ECT requires attention in clinical practice. Although the direct impact of fever after ECT treatment is limited, given its potential risks, it is advised to focus on strengthening the temperature monitoring of high-risk groups
Long-term effects of health during childhood on depressive symptoms in later life
Our findings suggest that childhood health may influence mental well-being in later life. Promoting healthy behaviors from early childhood could help reduce depression risk in older age. However, the reliance on self-reported data and a cross-sectional design limit causal interpretation. Preventive care and targeted interventions for vulnerable children should be prioritized to improve long-term mental health outcomes
Countering Nationalist Politics Through Distant Witnessing
Advancing an affective-discursive approach, this article examines how distant witnessing bolsters digital activist organizing that challenges a Southern authoritarian regime's nationalist politics on international social media. The research foregrounds an initiative coordinated by a group of overseas dissidents who sought to expose China's foreign policy regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine on X (Twitter). Amid ongoing battlefield stalemates…
Gender Fluidity Versus Homohysteria
This article investigates how young Chinese male fans interpret and engage with mediated athletic bromances, drawing from interviews with university students who follow sports games closely. The research uncovers complex dynamics wherein these fans contextually embrace and delegitimise the homoerotic aspects of mediated athletic bromances as they navigate their sports consumption. This phenomenon reflects the multifaceted experiences of young men…
Psychometric evaluation of the Chinese version of the fear of pregnancy scale
Introduction: Many women experience fear toward pregnancy, which can impact their desire to have children and the national birth rate. Thus, assessing women's fear of pregnancy is of great importance. However, there is currently no specialized tool for assessing women's fear of pregnancy in China. The purpose of this study is to translate the Fear of Pregnancy Scale into Chinese and test its reliability and validity among women of childbearing ag…

Curating activist journalism to defy China’s “mainstream” narrative on X (Twitter)
This article foregrounds the great translation movement (GTM), initially mobilised on X (formerly Twitter) in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as an example of activist journalism countering China's 'mainstream' narrative of the war and its broader implications. Using Fairclough’s dialectical-relational approach, adapted to the specifics of social media communication, we examine GTM postings throughout the first calendar year of the w…
Sportswomen under the Chinese male gaze
This article offers a timely, critical analysis of the male gaze upon sportswomen in male Chinese fans’ consumption of sporting megaevents. We use the most popular Chinese-language sports fandom platform, Hupu, as the data repository and scrutinise the threads of male Hupu users’ postings about two elite sportswomen at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics as the case studies. Drawing on feminist critical discourse analysis (FCDA), we elucidate the discursive …
Effects of resourcefulness on internet game addiction among college students
Introduction: The mechanism of internet game addiction is unclear. Whether anxiety mediates between resourcefulness and internet game addiction and whether gender affect its mediation role have not been studied previously. Methods: A total of 4,889 college students from a college in southwest China were included in this study to complete the investigation, in which three questionnaires were used for evaluation. Results: Pearson's correlation anal…
Effects of vegetation restoration on soil nutrients, plant diversity, and its spatiotemporal heterogeneity in a desert–oasis ecotone
Vegetation restoration has been proposed as an effective measure for rehabilitating degraded land and slowing desertification in arid regions. However, the spatial variation in soil quality and plant diversity following vegetation restoration remains unclear. This study was designed to explore soil nutrient dynamics and how soil nutrients affect plant diversity and spatial heterogeneity after shrub restoration. We assessed the effect of Haloxylon…
Evolving Frames
This study sets out to see if the Western media frames of China change over time and how the dominant ideology emerges in the representations. It investigates how the Tibet-China conflict was portrayed and represented in the British national daily newspapers across four research periods from 1949 to 2009. It examines the frames chosen by the press and the influence of the sources (especially external journalistic influence) reflected on the frame…
Disposal Situation of Sewage Sludge from Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) and Assessment of the Ecological Risk of Heavy Metals for Its Land Use in Shanxi, China
Land use of sewage sludge is the primary disposal method in Shanxi, accounting for 42.66% of all. To determine the ecological risk of heavy metals in sewage sludge, contents of seven heavy metals in sewage sludge from 9 municipal waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) that had the highest application for land use were determined. The order of the measured concentrations was: Zn > Cr > Cu > Ni > Pb > As > Cd, and all heavy metals contents were withi…
Comparison of Health Risk Assessments of Heavy Metals and As in Sewage Sludge from Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) for Adults and Children in the Urban District of Taiyuan, China
To compare the human health risk of heavy metals and As in sewage sludge between adults and children, samples were collected from five wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) located in the urban district of Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi. Heavy metals and As in sewage sludge can be ranked according to the mean concentration in the following order: Cu > Cr > Zn > Pb > As > Hg > Cd. Compared with the concentration limit set by different countries, the…
