| Summary/Abstract |
Against the background of China’s increasing political and economic influence and the Chinese government’s efforts on public diplomacy, this article examines the extent to which the publics in various countries are interested in news about China as well as the national- and individual-level factors that explain audience interest in China. Drawing upon a cross-national survey conducted in 10 countries in 2009 and 2010, the analysis shows that China has attracted a level of global public attention comparable to other regional powers in the world. Consistent with studies about the determinants of foreign news content, the interest in news about China is stronger in countries that have closer economic connections with China. At the individual level, people with higher levels of education and income, as well as people who are more interested in the international political economy when consuming foreign news, are more likely to express an interest in news about China. The findings and analysis illustrate how the rising economic and political influence of China in the international arena is shaping the world’s interest in the country.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the debate on whether China’s political system can survive economic modernisation, a crucial but often-neglected aspect is whether the Chinese state can successfully rebuild social order disrupted by China’s rapid urbanisation. This article explores how the Chinese state has tried to re-establish social order in China’s cities by launching Confucian education programmes. It has three major findings. First, the state has adopted a decentralised mode, that is, local education authorities are the main agents in introducing Confucian education in public schools. Second, these Confucian education programmes are more systematically and innovatively operated by county/district-level authorities rather than by prefectural or school-level authorities. Third, these programmes are more positively received by rural immigrants than by urban middle-class families. Based on these findings, this article indicates that the Chinese state may be the strongest in responding to social disorder at the county/district level, and is more effective in shaping the attitudes and values of the economically deprived rather than the privileged.

This study examines how the dynamic interaction of institutions, interests and ideas has shaped the pharmaceutical distribution system in China over time. It argues that since the 1980s, the common profit-seeking interests of drug manufacturers, drug wholesalers, hospitals and doctors have driven them to collude with each other, thereby making the pharmaceutical distribution system chaotic and ineffective. In order to reduce drug prices, this study suggests that the government implement a series of measures to stop collusion among the pharmaceutical industry, hospitals and doctors, and disconnect the interests of different parties in the pharmaceutical distribution system in order to deepen health-care reform. This study, which grew out of years of observation and reflection on health-care reform and political science, provides the most updated information about high drug prices and the development of the pharmaceutical distribution system in China.

| Summary/Abstract |
Internet public opinion, an essential part of public opinion, attracts enormous academic research efforts in China. The research on internet public opinion, which involves a fusion of both social and natural sciences, requires both theoretical elaboration and empirical analysis. This article aims to assess the current situation of internet public opinion research in China by employing a bibliometric method to analyse 9,060 studies selected and collected from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Based on the findings, the authors assess the overall situation of internet public research in China, and discuss the existing problems and emerging trends.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the impact of US monetary policy as the world dominant monetary policy on the global crude oil prices and investigates the impact of oil price fluctuations on two real macro variables (gross domestic product [GDP] and inflation rate) of three global major crude oil consumers: the People’s Republic of China (an emerging economy), and Japan and the United States (developed economies). To assess the relationship between monetary variables, crude oil prices and macro variables, the authors adopt an N-variable structural vector autoregression (SVAR) model. The results suggest that the monetary policy had a significant positive impact on oil prices during 2001–13 through two different channels (quantitative easing and exchange rate fluctuations). Also, the impact of oil price fluctuations on developed oil importers’ GDP growth is much milder than on the GDP growth of an emerging economy. However, the impact on the China’s inflation rate is found to be less severe compared to the two developed countries.

| Summary/Abstract |
What drives the international expansion strategy of Chinese new ventures? By integrating the institution-based view and resource-based view of firm strategy, the authors propose that perceived institutional hardship has negative effects on internationalisation strategies of Chinese new ventures, while a firm’s dynamic capabilities (e.g. strategic flexibility) rather than static ordinary resources (e.g. organisational slack and technological capability) have positive effects. Based on an empirical analysis of 151 new ventures in Zhejiang province in China, the theoretical arguments posited by the authors are strongly supported.

Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is one of the most important overseas educational institutions that provides professional public administration training for senior Chinese public officials. Since 2012, the landscape of overseas professional public administration training has been drastically changed by the new administration of Chinese President Xi Jinping. It is therefore an opportune moment to reflect on NTU’s experience and prepare for the new changes. In this article, the authors share insights from their teaching experience, personal observations and interviews at NTU in the past decade since the Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA) programme was first introduced, and discuss the challenges encountered in teaching Chinese senior public officials. This article also examines the development of professional public administration training in China, and makes recommendations for future research.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study examines the major sources of Chinese new nationalism among the Chinese populace two decades after the 1989 Tiananmen movement. Based on the 2008 East Asian Social Survey (EASS) using China data collected nationwide, this research finds that China’s major sources of popular nationalism in 2008 are largely consistent with “New Left” intellectuals’ propositions. In contemporary China, Chinese national identity is premised on identification with Asia rather than Western countries and Japan as the “other” that supports China’s self-image as a “victim”. This new identity boundary has enabled the positive roles and traits of Confucian culture to build and shape Chinese new nationalism.

| Summary/Abstract |
Based on newspaper analyses and in-depth interviews, this article argues that the hybrid political system with civil liberties in post-1997 Hong Kong has created a unique polity within the tense state–society relationship. This article posits that crisis politics in Hong Kong has undergone a politicisation process brought about by non-state activists with the intention of pressing for government change. In the absence of full democracy, the escalation of issues into crises by intensifying political pressure through the media and public opinion has become a possible means to manipulate government decisions.

| Summary/Abstract |
The operation of international non-government organisations (INGOs) in China has become a salient part of the country’s globalisation. This article deploys the prism of “world civic politics”, a major theoretical development in studying transnational civil society, to examine INGOs’ activism in Chinese societal realms. INGOs do not work solely to change state behaviour. Other politically meaningful actions include shifting the public mood, reforming corporate behaviour, and empowering local NGOs and communities. The theory suggests useful lenses to study societal aspects of transnational activism in China and impart political meaning, while also highlighting Western-centrism that is common in the theorisation of transnational politics.
