The Changing Landscape of Supplementary Education in China: Historical Trajectories and Institutional Typologies
Since the foundation of the People's Republic of China in 1949, supplementary education has been shaped by three very different paradigms. At the outset were Communist traditions in which China learned from the Soviet Union. Subsequently, these were mixed with, or perhaps subverted by, the market economy; and then the State reasserted itself. Each era had its archetypes, albeit with overlaps. First were forms of public outside‐school education in…

Understanding the role of peer pressure on engineering students' learning behavior: A TPB perspective
Introduction: With the advent of the digital age, the gradually increasing demands of the engineering job market make it inevitable that engineering students face the pressures that arise from academic life with their peers. To address this issue, this study aims to explore the influence of engineering students' peer pressure on learning behavior based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Methods: In addition to attitudes, subjective norms, a…
US and Chinese Aid to Africa: A Relational Approach to Impact on Soft Power
Over the last two decades, China has become increasingly influential in Africa, and the US policy pivoting to confront domestic challenges and withdrawing from its role in international fora has raised many concerns. Based on this global context, this paper examines the US-China soft power competition through foreign aid. It takes a relational lens to analyze their aid to the African countries. It first looks at how foreign aid could be transform…
The Geographical Origins of Li Daochun
There has been some controversy in academic circles as to the geographical origin of the Yuan-dynasty master Li Daochun, well known for his systematization of internal alchemy. The town he grew up in is called Duliang 都梁 in all sources, but some place it in Hunan while others locate it in Jiangsu. After examining previous arguments on the issue, the paper is based on three perspectives: Duliang as not so much a specific place than a generic term …

Retrospective turn continuations in Mandarin Chinese conversation
How the status of further talk past the point of a turn’s possible completion should be described, and what functions different kinds of turn continuation might serve – these are questions that have engaged many scholars since Sacks, Schegloff and Jefferson’s turn-taking model (1974). In this paper, a general scheme is proposed with which one can tease out four interlocking strands in analyzing different kinds of turn continuation: Syntactic cont…
A 10 ka intentionally deformed human skull from Northeast Asia
The oldest‐known undoubted cultural practices of intentional cranial deformation (ICD, also known as artificial cranial modification) appeared in the Middle East, Australia, and Northeast China in the terminal Pleistocene‐early Holocene populations. Here, we report an ICD calvarium fossil (Songhuajiang II) discovered from an underwater sand mining site near Harbin City in Northeast China. With a calibrated accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radi…

Chinese Philosophy as a Kind of Field Philosophy
Chinese philosophy is practical in orientation. This practical orientation is consistent with field philosophy, which aims to break the disciplinary mode of knowledge production and establish interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary modes, so as to overcome ‘disciplinary capture’ and enhance the social relevance of philosophy. For example, Chinese philosophy values action more than commentary and discussion more than writing. Chinese philosophy ha…

Comparative research on shadow education: Achievements, challenges, and the agenda ahead
This paper reviews research on private supplementary tutoring, widely known as shadow education, during the initial decades of the present century. It takes as its starting point the first global study of the phenomenon, published in 1999, though notes some scattered national and subnational literature prior to that date. During the initial two decades, great expansion of the research on shadow education brought more depth and stronger awareness …
A changing environment of urban education: Historical and spatial analysis of private supplementary tutoring in China
Recent decades have brought dramatic urbanization to China. Between 1978 and 2018, the urban population rose from 17.9 per cent to 59.6 per cent of the total. Urbanization has many implications, including for education. China’s government has long been concerned about imbalances in access to and quality of schooling, and new imbalances have been introduced through market forces in the so-called shadow education sector of private supplementary tut…
Recipient questions as a strategy to launch second stories
This article reports a study of launching second stories in Chinese conversation. It particularly examines how recipients ask questions about something related to but not explicitly mentioned in the first story. We show that such questions are strategically placed in that they prefigure upcoming stories. The design of the questions may also cast a new light on the first story so that the second story, when told, can be recognised as subsequent to…

Establishing world-class universities in China: Deploying a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the net effects of Project 985
The rapid advances of China’s universities in major international league tables are generally believed to be an accomplishment of Project 985. A quasi-experimental study was, therefore, undertaken to test the belief and to evaluate the effectiveness of this policy intervention, using 15-year panel data between 1998 and 2013. Results from a difference-in-differences model showed that Project 985 had a positive effect on publication outputs of ‘985…
Equalising schooling, unequalising private supplementary tutoring: Access and tracking through shadow education in China
The global expansion of mass schooling has greatly increased opportunities for low-income families, and governments have devoted much effort to equalising access and quality in education systems. Alongside regular schooling, the so-called shadow education system of private supplementary tutoring has grown rapidly across the world. The fact that rich families can purchase more and better quality shadow education undermines the achievements of incr…
The Undergraduate Teaching Evaluation System in China: Progress, Problems and Suggestions
To improve the quality of its colleges and universities, China has carried out five rounds of government-led evaluation of undergraduate teaching since the 1990s, and has gradually developed a “five-in-one” evaluation system. The evaluation system in China not only draws lessons from the systems of other countries, but also has its own characteristics. Nevertheless, problems persist in terms of the diversity of evaluation subjects, predominance o…

The role of face in a Chinese context of trust and trust building
The role of cultural factors in influencing the maintenance and/or enhancement of trust between two individuals acting as a dyad has received little research attention in trust and trust building. We discuss how a selected culture-specific factor (face) plays an influencing, if not imperative, role in trust and trust building in a Chinese context. We suggest that the preservation and/or enhancement of face acts as an indispensable factor to maint…
The Politics of Opposition to the Enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in the United States
All non-essential functions of the United States federal government were shut down during the first two weeks of October 2013, due to a lapse in appropriations for fiscal year 2014. This disruption has a root in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was passed in March 2010 to overhaul the US healthcare system. The law was a compromise reached to reconcile opposition from various interest groups. By examining the politics of oppos…

The Poet as Educator in the Works and Days
This article examines how Hesiod employs the poetic voice of the educator in the Works and Days. It argues that the dramatic setting is designed to stage a competition with the kings in the performance of wisdom, involving in particular the administration of justice. The judicial space of the agora presided over by the "gift-devouring" kings is replaced by a poetic space, where the poet, due to his special access to the mind of Zeus, can be the c…

Directive-giving and grammatical forms: Mitigation devices in a medical laboratory setting
This paper investigates the use of grammatical forms in directive sequences by drawing on daily interactions between colleagues in a medical laboratory in Hong Kong. From a conversation analytic perspective, we focus on how directives in Cantonese are commonly formulated and how the force of a directive is mitigated. Our analysis shows that (1) the imperative seems to be the most frequently used syntactic form for giving directives and there is n…
