In the face of significant health risks related to their work, migrant workers remain largely under-represented in China’s health insurance system despite their eligibility to participate in several programs. To achieve China’s goal of universal healthcare coverage, migrant workers are targeting populations. The objective of this paper is to understand the factors associated with migrant workers’ participation in health insurance programs. This analysis draws from a survey of 3,342 migrant workers that was conducted by China Agricultural University in 2013. A multinomial logit model was performed to identify the determinants of migrant workers’ health insurance participation. Our findings suggest that the highest rates of un-insurance were observed for females, the elderly, those with lower levels of education, income, or lower self-reported health status, and migrant workers in the construction industry. They are the most vulnerable populations and susceptible to various health and occupational hazards. Besides the high enrollment rates of migrant workers in the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme, the scheme’s lack of portability needs a complete “Inter-province” balancing reimbursement networking platform to be built. Furthermore, establishing a multi-level medical security system that is accessible and affordable may serve the goal of improving health insurance participation among migrant workers.","PeriodicalId":22382,"journal":{"name":"The Chinese Economy","volume":"12 1","pages":"332 - 342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90513878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As being the world’s second largest economy and largest developing country, China’s leading role in the BRICS has been widely recognized for its strategy adjustment from the international community. It is also of great importance to study the change of China’s status among BRICS countries and to analyze the development reasons from a macro and longitudinal perspective of Chinese way policy. Basically, this article analyzes the formation and function of BRICS’ institution as well as China’s role in BRICS from the perspective of political economy. As China increases political and economic strength, the influence of China’s role serves as an engine for BRICS development, from participant to practitioner and to leader. Meanwhile, as the important role of BRICS countries in the world has increased, then it will lead to a new international situation of a rise in the East (from the South) and the decline in the West (from the North). Under all these political and economic changes, it gives China an opportunity to enhance South-South cooperation as well as South-North economic integration.","PeriodicalId":22382,"journal":{"name":"The Chinese Economy","volume":"44 1","pages":"317 - 328"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89218737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the great role of APEC, China has actively participated in the forum and today has become a major player with so-called Chinese approaches. The paper points out China’s purposes and intentions with Chinese way, especially under the attack of Covid-19 that has led to strategic adjustments in APEC. Politically, with APEC as an arena, China aims to restore and expand its sphere of influence in the region, hedge against the US and challenge to change the global governance system. Economically, through APEC’s mechanism, China wants to promote trade liberalization and hence facilitate its domestic economic reforms to soon become the number one power in the world. Moreover, the paper also outlines opportunities and challenges that China would face in APEC.

The ascendency of G-20, of which China is a part, indicates the world’s preference for a more inclusive and informal economic governance model, moving away from the relatively restrictive Group of Seven (G-7) and the legalized Bretton Woods settings. This article analyzes China’s participation and increasingly critical role in the G-20. China’s main priorities in relation to the G-20 evolved over time. The initial focuses on containing financial contagion and reforming Bretton Woods institutions were followed by attempts to resolve bilateral trade issues with the US and to fight the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. China aspires to transform the G-20 from an ad hoc crisis management platform to one promoting proactive long-term global policy cooperation, partly in support of “a community with shared future for humanity” and the Belt and Road Initiative. However, public distrust of international economic interdependence, populist backlash against neoliberal globalization, as well as geopolitical, ideological, technological tussles between China and the West collectively present significant challenges to the G-20.","PeriodicalId":22382,"journal":{"name":"The Chinese Economy","volume":"1 1","pages":"282 - 292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79590795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This mega trade deal is a potential free trade agreement that originally poses challenges for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) led by US, because a rising China with its economic influence in regional trade threatens the current US hegemony, alienates countries in East Asia from the US, and likely strive to become the leader of RCEP. However, these diplomatic strategies are not truly in line with China’s long-term interests; on the contrary, this paper argues that China should use the platform of RCEP to act as a supporter and promoter. Playing the roles of supporter and promoter is surely wise since it assists the neighboring countries to make economic advantages with China in a more liberalized regional market, while pragmatically reminding the leaders in Beijing that China should address the South China Sea problem with ASEAN countries in a defensive manner. All these relative low profile strategies, based on ‘one political step back for two economic steps forward,’ may consider as Chinese approach or Chinese way in RCEP.","PeriodicalId":22382,"journal":{"name":"The Chinese Economy","volume":"10 1","pages":"268 - 281"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74971175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using twelve political risk indicators from International Country Risk Guide (ICRG), we use factor analysis to retrieve three underlying factors: 'Cultural Rigidity,' 'Governance Failure,' and 'Partners' Adverse Feeling.' After combining these factors into a dynamic system GMM Gravity equation, we examine their impact on China's trade flow. As we control for Gravity variables and these risk factors, BRI has been found effective for China with MENA countries, ASEAN10, and ASEAN10 + 3 (China, Japan, and South Korea) but detrimental to trade flow within the ASEAN10 + 6 (China, India, Japan, S Korea, Australia, and New Zealand) setup. Among the three factors, 'Partners' Adverse Feeling' is the most substantial deterrent, followed by 'Cultural Rigidities.' Most of the traditional Gravity coefficients like domestic and partner country's GDP, domestic and partner country's per capita GDP, distance, GATT membership of China and Partners, take their right sign and significance. 'Governance failure' has been found as a significant deterrent neither in ASEAN nor in MENA setup. Therefore, China should strive to improve cultural bottlenecks with her partner countries and improve upon the existing adverse perception in enhancing her trade flow with these countries.","PeriodicalId":22382,"journal":{"name":"The Chinese Economy","volume":"102 1","pages":"188 - 207"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79418974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results show a strong significant DCC among China’s stock market index and selected international stock market indices especially in the outbreak of COVID-19. We find that the results related to the degree of the persistence of volatility, are sensitive to the existence of the COVID-19 surprises into the DCC-GARCH (1) model. We remark that that COVID-19 has a short-term impact on international stock market indices volatilities. Finally, we can conclude that COVID-19 explain the spillover impacts of China’s stock market index on selected countries using DCC-GARCH models.
