| Summary/Abstract |
Based on the notions of ‘popular geopolitics’ and ‘practical geopolitics’, this article explores how China’s geopolitical strategies are represented and reproduced by the popular songs in the CCTV (China Central Television) Spring Festival Gala during the past thirty years (1983–2013). Drawing on the (con)textual and visual analysis of 539 popular songs, how geopolitical knowledges are represented and reproduced by these songs and how these songs are involved with China’s geopolitical strategies are analysed. The main argument of this article indicates that the official regulated popular songs in the annual Gala can be considered as important constitutions of China’s state apparatus which aim at propagandising and legitimating the official geopolitical strategies on both internal and international affairs. As research of the geopolitical engagements of China’s popular music, this article might also be read as a contribution to wider literatures on popular and practical geopolitics from a non-Western perspective.

| Summary/Abstract |
As one kind of market power, withholding capacity infects the electricity, fossil fuel, and carbon markets. Withholding capacity is closely related to renewable energy consumption and is affected by major events. Considering major events and renewable energy consumption, we investigate the transmission mechanism between electricity, fossil fuel, carbon markets, and withholding capacity. Withholding capacity is characterized by time- and frequency-varying and event-triggered. We design a research framework to extract the dynamics of major events from time-frequency domains. The paper attempts to cover extreme scenarios (i.e., climate policy, extreme weather, public health, and global conflict) that exacerbate withholding capacity to the limits. This paper is the first to introduce the information spillover, exploring the transmission mechanism between withholding capacity and renewable energy consumption via time-frequency and major events perspectives. The results illustrate that (i) major events significantly affect the connectedness of withholding capacity to the electricity, fossil fuel, and carbon markets when renewable energy consumption is high; (ii) major events accelerate the shift in the transmission mechanism of withholding capacity from medium- and long-term to short-term timescales. Renewable energy consumption and major events challenge risk management. These findings contribute to designing structural and transitional emergency schemes in the low-carbon electricity market.
