Thus, the rebuilding of consumers’ trust towards Chinese milk safety has emerged as a key issue for governance in the dairy industry. Based on the trustee- and trustor-centric perspectives, it shows that existing studies ignore that trustees and trustors are interdependent in the dairy system. The examination of milk safety issues in isolation hinders effective rebuilding of trust and milk safety governance in China. In this review, we investigate both the current government and corporate actions (trustees) to assure milk safety and multiple factors that influence consumers’ trust (trustors) on milk safety in China. Our analysis revealed that the Chinese government and dairy corporates have adopted various measures to improve milk safety, and gradually introduced broader interventions to recover consumers’ trust in Chinese milk. However, to fully recover consumers’ trust and meet their expectations, consumers need to be engaged in the processes of milk safety governance.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":"7 1","pages":"266 - 290"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23812346.2021.1873609","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41565485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

China, with its largely protected but enormous internal market, provides an ideal ‘experiment’ for examining how platform business models might develop different evolutionary trajectories in different environments. Based upon a study of the two largest platform firms, Tencent and Alibaba, and the far smaller but dominant Chinese online travel agency platform, Trip.com, we demonstrate that a different business model has emerged in China. In contrast to the West Coast model—in which the expansion occurs through internal development and introduction, acquisition, and venture capital investment—Chinese firms have employed two other strategies. The first is listing some of their existing operations separately on the stock market (what we term a ‘sell off’) but not giving up control. The second strategy is interfirm cross investments. The use of these two strategies has led to the formation of an organizational form, that we term the ‘platform business group (PBG)’, which extends and transforms the existing Chinese business group model. We discuss the environmental conditions that enable PBGs to pursue business strategies in a different manner than their Western counterparts and to identify the key conditions that allowed the PBG model to develop. Our extension of platform studies to China enriches and extends theoretical and practical understanding of Chinese platforms. Finally, we discuss the difficulties that PBG firms face in employing their business model internationally.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":"7 1","pages":"58 - 80"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23812346.2021.1877446","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45626211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mainstream body of scholarship on political representation has focused on electoral-based representation in the context of liberal-democratic settings. China provides an excellent case to study the phenomenon of non-electoral forms of political representation. This article seeks to address the question of how do the Chinese authorities enhance political representation by public deliberation in social welfare policy? Drawing on first-hand official documents and interview accounts from fieldwork conducted in Guangxi and Hubei, as well as secondary data sources, this article undertakes a mechanism-based comparative case study of these two localities, examining the different forms of citizen deliberation in poverty alleviation programs. It reveals that the party regime has developed an increasingly sophisticated set of strategies in establishing representation by deliberative consultation. Furthermore, two distinctive forms of deliberative representation, the state-authoritative model and the light-empowered model can be discerned from the different deliberative participatory experiences of Guangxi and Hubei. The deliberative elements introduced into the poverty alleviation program demonstrate that with a deeper and more consequential engagement of the citizens in welfare policy decision making, there can be an empowered form of political representation generated even in a non-electoral setting.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":"7 1","pages":"583 - 615"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23812346.2020.1870311","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45569361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various scholars have cited digital platforms as mechanisms for improving the contact between representatives and their constituencies in situations where formal authorization has not occurred. Yet, little research empirically tests the assumptions that civil society representation is democratized by the adoption of these tools. This article contributes to this debate by presenting the concept of digital accountability and the results of qualitative research on National Policy Councils in Brazil responsible for Health and Social Assistance Policies. The study is based on content analysis of Facebook posts published by those councils between 2016 and 2018, and on semi-structured interviews with the managers of council Facebook pages. It argues that three factors explain the different uses of social media by the Councils: the history of participation in each public policy, the platform operators’ perception of the role of social media in the representative process, and the technical support available. These factors may also help to understand the different ways other institutions use digital media and, more broadly, the challenges in connecting non-electoral representatives to their potential constituencies.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":"6 1","pages":"81 - 109"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23812346.2020.1721956","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42165027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the one hand, it is regarded as an economic powerhouse pushing forward decades of sustained growth, which even during major global crises, such as the Corona-epidemic and the 2008 Financial Crisis, bounced back with significant resilience. On the other hand, it appears burdened with all of the ‘wrong’ institutions: informal, insecure, and autocratic. This collection of papers posits that the paradox is no contradiction when understood through an alternative, theoretical lens: the function of institutions precedes form when trying to understand institutional performance. Thus, whether institutions are formal or informal, public or private, democratic or autocratic, is of secondary importance to the manner in which they function over time and space. To examine this hypothesis, known as the ‘credibility thesis’, the collection examines China’s institutions that govern: 1) capital; 2) technology; 3) land, and; 4) labor; in effect, state-owned banks, collective firms, corporate law and securities, patents and intellectual property rights, environmental bans, and the civil registration or hukou system. In so doing, it not only falsifies the widely prevalent assumption that institutional form determines performance, but concurrently, validates the applicability of the credibility thesis over widely varying sectors and assets.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":"6 1","pages":"175 - 197"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23812346.2020.1841975","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43989015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
