“A Life Without Desire?”
When Climate Justice Frame Backfires in China
While several climate change communication scholars and activists hold positive views on the effectiveness of the climate justice frame in increasing public behavioral intentions, empirical evidence on public perceptions and attitudes remains limited, especially in the Global South. This study addresses this void by conducting an online experiment ( N = 242) in China to investigate the impact of the climate justice frame, alongside the cobenefit …
Pain, Warfare, and Commodity
In China, nearly half of women have experienced dysmenorrhea. However, the articulation and management of this female-specific pain remain constrained. By conducting a critical metaphor analysis of interviews with 33 young Chinese women experiencing dysmenorrhea, this study seeks to uncover the nuanced layers of meaning enmeshed within their discourse regarding dysmenorrhea and their bodies. Our examination unveils four metaphors entwined with dy…
Revisiting, contesting and reclaiming memory
This study examines how Chinese women on Bilibili recall and reinterpret their sex education experiences, uncovering the intricate interplay between individual memories and socio-cultural dynamics. Drawing on memory theory, we conducted a critical discourse analysis of 1,722 comments, identifying four key themes: (1) sexual silence within the 'desexualised' domestic sphere; (2) women's encounters in a 'sexualised' society; (3) rationalising the a…
Reclaiming Power or Reinforcing Inequities
In China, unmarried women are prohibited from egg freezing despite high demand and declining fertility rates. Within such a context, this article aims to examine public attitudes toward reproduction and egg-freezing on social media, with particular attention paid to how these discussions reflect the multi-level determinants influencing decision-making regarding egg-freezing practices. Within the context of Chinese gender ideology, we conducted a …
Unpacking cyberchondria
A love-addled brain is an incurable malady”
In the summer of 2023, the TV series “Fireworks of My Heart” sparked extensive online debates over its protagonists’ cross-class love story in China. This study aims to examine the distinctive gender ideology and views on romantic relationships expressed by young middle-class women on social media. By conducting a critical discourse analysis on 1079 Weibo posts under eight relevant hashtags, we identified three significant themes: the bold reject…
Scientific tool or torture device? A relational dialectics theory approach to the Speculum's symbolism in China
This study applies Relational Dialectics Theory (RDT 2.0) to examine the dominant and marginal discourses surrounding the speculum on Weibo in China and how these discourses compete to make meaning of the speculum object. Through contrapuntal analysis, we explore how two discourses-the centripetal discourse, "Speculum is Scientific and Beneficial" (SSB), and the centrifugal discourse, "Speculum is Regressive and Detrimental" (SRD)-interact and co…
Zheng Qinwen is the pure-blood ideal of Gu Eileen
This study explores how the Chinese make sense of elite female athletes' identities on Weibo, focusing on Zheng Qinwen and her online comparisons with Gu Eileen, against the historical, social, and cultural backdrop of neo/non-liberal China. Guided by sensemaking theory and intersectionality, we conducted a critical discourse analysis of 2467 Weibo posts, identifying four primary themes: (1) 'sporting superpower' and 'empowered women': reimaginin…

Worldwide trends in diabetes since 1980
BACKGROUND: One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age-standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are affecting the number of adults with diabetes. METHODS: We pooled data from population-ba…
Measuring Political Barriers in US Exports to China
The trade imbalance between the United States and China has expanded rapidly over the past two decades. Exactly how much US export controls contribute to this development is an important question. This article examines the various political barriers constraining US exports to China, and in particular their impact on the export of dual-use products with high military applications. The article then quantitatively measures the magnitude of this impa…

The aim was to produce graduates with appropriate knowledge and skills to be effective in advocating for policies that could lead to the reduction of tobacco use. Results from this initial project involving seven universities have been encouragin…
