Drone-based food delivery as everyday public automation in China
Drone-based food delivery is increasingly encountered as publicly visible automation embedded in everyday environments. This study examines how consumers evaluate such a service when adoption evaluation extends beyond utility towards sensory fit, mediated intelligibility, public legitimacy, and exchange acceptability. Building on social cognitive theory and the goal-directed behaviour model, the study develops an integrative account in which hete…
Fact-Checking Organizations in Mainland China
This study examines fact-checking in mainland China’s hybrid-authoritarian media system, focusing on the intersection of state authority, platform governance, and audience participation. We analyzed 2,719 text-based fact checks from 7 institutions and 3,026 short videos from 3 individual fact-checkers on Douyin (2022–2025), employing BERTopic-based topic modeling, qualitative institutional analysis, and manual content coding on a stratified subsa…
The establishment of blue-sky index
Color of the sky serves as a direct indicator of haze, while also exerting substantial influence on human physiological and psychological well-being, as well as the overall environmental scenery. However, quantifying color changes is quite challenging. This research develops a quantitative approach for evaluating the influence of atmospheric aerosol pollution on the appearance of the sky. We first calculated the influence of atmospheric aerosols …
Ineffectual People, Incompetent Government
During the COVID-19 pandemic, pandemic-driven nationalism surged in China, exemplified by widespread mockery and disparagement of India’s handling of the crisis in Chinese cyberspace. Adopting a linguistically grounded approach, this study scrutinizes how India is discursively constructed as an inferior Other amid COVID-19. It conducts a linguistically informed discourse analysis of a highly viewed text on Zhihu (China’s largest online Q&A platfo…

Precipitation mechanism of tufa in Lake Cherigele, a salt lake in the Badain Jaran Desert, NW China
Tufa serves as a significant archive for understanding the evolution of the water cycle and conducting paleoclimate research due to its abundant sedimentary information. However, the mechanisms underlying tufa precipitation at a closed salt lake in the arid Badain Jaran Desert (BJD) remain unclear. This study focuses on Lake Cherigele (CRG) as a case study and elucidates the key hydrogeochemical processes involved in tufa deposition along the lak…
Digital populism in an authoritarian context
This study examines how the Chinese government has adopted authoritarian digital populism to justify its political programs through its official social media sub-accounts. Through discourse analysis, we investigate textual material concerning the “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) posted on a representative WeChat account, Xiakedao. We find Xiakedao performing digital populism through stylistic-emotional manipulation to portray the benefits of the …
