More than diversion: Economic turmoil, foreign-policy assertiveness, and China’s balance of risk
Challenging Popular Narratives: The Course of Power Transition and Sino–US Relations
Despite intensive scholarly interest in power transition theory (PTT) and its relevance to contemporary Sino–US relations, this article addresses three aspects central to policy discussions that have been largely neglected or taken for granted in the existing scholarly works on PTT. This article first establishes an analytical framework to analyse the course of power transition, enabling an in-depth analysis of the strategic interactions between …

Power transition in process: Explaining the dominant power's failures to prevent the rise of a challenger
Power transition theory often overlooks why, despite its dominance, an established power may fail to prevent the emergence of a challenger. This article addresses this gap by incorporating analysis of the politics of threat assessment. It presents three explanations: (1) It is difficult for an established power to accurately identify a potential challenger, particularly considering that the rising power may strategically accommodate the more domi…

Unpacking Tourism Fatigue: Travel frequency, duration and its effects on satisfaction and revisit intention
While prior research has recognised the significance of tourism fatigue, there exists limited empirical evidence regarding its causes and consequences. Drawing upon the stressor-strain-outcome framework, this study investigates the main antecedents and outcomes by constructing a research model of tourism fatigue. This study utilises two waves of cross-sectional data sets from two distinct destinations (i.e. nature-based and culture-based destinat…
Domestic sources of China’s wolf-warrior diplomacy: Individual incentive, institutional changes and diversionary strategies
Many China observers have commented that Beijing is harsh and assertive on diplomatic occasions. By publicizing the nationalistic rhetoric and moves in internal propaganda, the PRC aims to please domestic audiences. This article examines China’s practices of ‘wolf-warrior diplomacy’, explicates the rationale behind it, and provides three plausible explanations. Firstly, the individualist explanation highlights the personal motives of ‘wolf-warrio…
Impact of China's Local Government Competition and Environmental Regulation on Total Factor Productivity
In the transition of China's economy toward high-quality development, it will be increasingly important to coordinate the relationship between local government competition, environmental regulation, and the transformation of the economic growth mode. To explore the impact of local government competition and environmental regulation on total factor productivity (TFP), in this study empirical analysis models were established using panel data of 30 …

Carbon Emissions of the Tourism Telecoupling System: Theoretical Framework, Model Specification and Synthesis Effects
The flows of people and material attributed to international tourism exert a major impact on the global environment. Tourism carbon emissions is the main indicator in this context. However, previous studies focused on estimating the emissions of destinations, ignoring the embodied emissions in tourists' origins and other areas. This study provides a comprehensive framework of a tourism telecoupling system. Taking China's international tourism as …
Steering A Middle Course: The Domestic Sources of China’s Rare Earth Strategy
China’s recent use of rare earth (RE) as a tool in handling interstate crises has aroused global concern. However, popular narratives misinterpret China’s RE strategy, tending to exaggerate its assertiveness and possible ill effects on the international community. Pundits and scholarly works usually take China’s so-called weaponization of RE for granted, thus overlooking the domestic reasons for such policymaking. Using the advocacy coalition fra…
The Saudi Arabia–China relationship at a crossroad: A neoclassical realist analysis
The Saudi Arabia–China relationship is at a crossroad. Riyadh has been continuously building a strategic economic partnership with Beijing and enhancing its security alliance with Washington. However, the two great powers are increasingly involved in tense power competition. This article applies neoclassical realism in trying to understand how systemic changes and several unit‐level factors and their synergies and tensions characterize the Saudi–…
Assessing tourism environmental psychological carrying capacity under different environmental situations
The tourism carrying capacity (TCC) is an important indicator to balance the tourists’ utility level and the quality of tourism environment. However, research on TCC focuses more on measuring the spatial carrying capacity of tourism resources using engineering measurement methods and completely ignores the experience of tourists. It violates the original intention of tourism destinations to provide leisure and entertainment for tourists. This pap…

Fruit and vegetable consumption and risk of the metabolic syndrome: A meta-analysis
Objective Several epidemiological studies have been performed to evaluate the association of fruit and vegetable consumption with risk of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), but the results remain controversial. Thus, we conducted a systematic meta-analysis to assess the associations of fruit or/and vegetable consumption with risk of MetS, separately. Design We searched PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science databases up to July 2017 for relevant available…
Think territory politically: The making and escalation of Beijing’s commitment to Sovereignize Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands
In popular narratives, intellectual and media analysts believe the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands dispute between China and Japan is a contestation for potential hydrocarbon reserves and other maritime rights which are per se divisible, but nationalism – particularly on China side – and relative power change between the two competing claimants make these territories increasingly indivisible and the dispute war-prone. Based on a review over People's Daily…
Unanswered Questions: Why We may be Wrong about Chinese Nationalism and its Foreign Policy Implications
Many China analysts believe Beijing relies on nationalism to shore up its legitimacy of rule and its recent assertiveness, especially in salient territorial issues, is increasingly defined by such nationalism. However, based on a critical review of the existing studies, this article doubts the validity of this nationalism-foreign-assertiveness nexus because most questions that are important and necessary to elucidate the causal mechanisms remain …
