Confucian ethics of Xin (trust) and practical idealism
Confucius’s Chunqiu ( The Spring and Autumn ) should be reappreciated as the most foundational text of Confucian interstate and global ethics. Through its three canonical explications (Gongyan, Guling, and Zuo), the Chunqiu presents a philosophically coherent practical idealism, with xin (trust, trustworthiness, honesty, truthfulness, faithfulness) being centrally featured in human affairs, both domestic and interstate. Xin is not only an element…
A transnational public inquiry into Covid-19 origins and global biosecurity
Grounded in the notion of xin (trust) and practical idealism in Confucius’ Spring and Autumn ( Chunqiu ), this article proposes a transnational public inquiry into COVID-19 origins and global biosecurity amid the deepening international mistrust and escalating geopolitical conflict.

Beyond birth rates
Global birth rates have been in steady decline and are projected to continue this trajectory in the coming decades. While existing literature provides important insights into the demographic and socioeconomic dimensions of this trend, there remains a critical gap in theoretical frameworks that engage with the broader implications of declining fertility. Current family planning programs often concentrate on pregnancy and postnatal care but tend to…

Attempting rigour and replicability in thematic analysis of qualitative research data; a case study of codebook development
BACKGROUND: Navigating the world of qualitative thematic analysis can be challenging. This is compounded by the fact that detailed descriptions of methods are often omitted from qualitative discussions. While qualitative research methodologies are now mature, there often remains a lack of fine detail in their description both at submitted peer reviewed article level and in textbooks. As one of research's aims is to determine the relationship betw…
Truth-telling to the patient, family, and the sexual partner
Patients' rights are central in today's legislation and social policies related to health care, including HIV care, in not only Western countries but around the world. However, given obvious socio-cultural differences it is often asked how or to what extent patients' rights should be respected in non-Western societies such as China. In this paper, it is argued that the patients' rights framework is compatible with Chinese culture, and that from t…
Limits of state intervention in sex-selective abortion
Sex-selective abortion is the major direct cause of the severe imbalance in the sex ratio at birth - contributing to the phenomenon of over 100 million 'missing' females worldwide and 40 million in China alone. Internationally as well as in China, moral condemnation and legal prohibition constitute the mainstream and official position on sex-selective abortion. This paper characterises the dominant Chinese approach to the issue as state-centred a…
