The mode of connectedness features social engagement between Ding Zhen’s extra-local fans and a state-owned company in Litang with aims to profit from the influence of this cyber star to develop ethnic tourism, in line with the trend of using technological marketing solutions for poverty alleviation. Interacting with Litang’s media tactic, Ding Zhen’s fan communities on two Super Topics (超话) on Weibo compete to define proper fan behaviour and champion the rights and subject personhood of their idol beyond the limits of his localized identity. At the same time, the company aligns with the state’s stance on fan disciplining as a way of regulating fan friction and activism. The challenges faced by fans within the current media climate as they attempt to uphold fan subculture, as well as those faced by a highland ethnic town grappling with the complexities of unbalanced spatial development, serve as the underlying factors driving translocal cooperation and conflicts. In their intertwined situations, both extra-local fans and the local community seek empowerment, navigating their tensions towards a dynamic of accommodation.","PeriodicalId":45809,"journal":{"name":"China Information","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134958788","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}

This article presents an in-depth analysis of these voluntary industry-specific corporate social responsibility guidelines. The article also unfolds the less visible processes in which a Chinese industry association proactively engages with the dynamics of multi-level governance of corporate social responsibility in global mineral supply chains. While focusing on the rising role of the CCCMC, the article takes a ‘multi-level and actor-centred’ approach to understand the development of corporate social responsibility standards in the global economy. The article finds that CCCMC guidelines are inspired by and infused with pre-existing corporate social responsibility standards, especially international standards. Furthermore, it showcases the CCCMC’s continuing follow-up measures to implement the guidelines and increase recognition from other actors in global mineral supply chains. In particular, the article finds that the CCCMC has taken substantive measures to formulate and implement applicable labour standards in global mineral supply chains.","PeriodicalId":45809,"journal":{"name":"China Information","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135551787","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}

Credibility-based regulation is intended to combat China’s law enforcement problem by activating non-state actors to participate in regulatory work through conducting and sharing credibility assessments. However, little is known about its implementation. This article argues that a yet unexplored series of voluntary national standards provides the technical link between central-level rhetoric on credibility-based regulation and its implementation. Specifically, these standards lay down assessment methods and quantitative indicators for assessing credibility, and are drafted for the use of regulatory agencies, platform companies, industry associations and other state and non-state stakeholders. National standards provide a suitable link for implementing credibility-based regulation because, unlike top–down laws and policies, their creation involves a range of non-state affiliated actors, producing negotiated solutions that co-regulators may be more likely to adopt.","PeriodicalId":45809,"journal":{"name":"China Information","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136327687","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}

It also makes one curious about how tongzhi cultures are shaped in the countryside, or among different ‘minorities’. Finally, the book clearly focuses on cisgender gay men, the slowly expanding acronym LGBTQAI+ that prompts a likeminded study of, for example, lesbian and transcultures. After reading Kong’s book, this reviewer feels that he got to know the research participants intimately and to understand their life struggles and aspirations. The book unpacks and probes deep into the curious and often quite hidden entanglement between politics, family, community, locality, gender, and sexuality – all the more urgent, given the increasingly tense geopolitics of the three locales. This is a remarkable achievement for an academic book. Kong successfully steers away from using the three localities as an empirical case to apply Western theory, just as he is critical about assumed indigenous categories or claims to knowledge. As such, the book helps to decolonize not only sexuality and queer studies, but also to decolonize (and to queer) China studies. For anyone working on sexual cultures in East Asia and beyond, this book is essential reading. Its readability and clarity, and profoundly personal style of writing, without compromising on theoretical depth, also make it highly recommended for teaching purposes.","PeriodicalId":45809,"journal":{"name":"China Information","volume":"37 1","pages":"304 - 305"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45180137","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}

Its Western trading partners often criticize its manipulation of trade practices through the so-called state capitalism model. As the United States and others claim, China has successfully emerged as the largest trader in the world. ‘Yet, having the right elements can only guarantee a nice story, not the correct answer’ (p. 2). This book sets out to investigate the relationship between China’s state capitalism and WTO rules, offering recommendations for further promoting world trade rules and practices. The book consists of eight chapters. Chapter 1 presents the background of the book by providing definitions of some key concepts such as state capitalism and state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and introducing the challenges posed by SOEs to the global trading system. Chapter 2 reveals how the Chinese government has enhanced its influence over SOEs. Chapter 3 debunks the myth of China’s state capitalism. WTO members have been well aware of the clashes between WTO rules and China’s state capitalism since the very beginning. Bearing these problems in mind, WTO members have carefully crafted practical solutions to reinforce a category of WTO rules in order to discipline ‘market-distortive behaviours of SOEs and subsidies that enhance their competitive advantages’ (p. 10). These solutions are discussed in Chapters 4 and 5. Recent rulings by the Appellate Body have contributed to the ‘softness’ of WTO rules, because of which the crafted solutions as discussed in Chapter 4 are all of limited utility. To rebut the claim that all WTO rules are useless, the analysis in Chapter 5 underlines the promising potential of some China-specific rules in the original Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Book reviews","PeriodicalId":45809,"journal":{"name":"China Information","volume":"37 1","pages":"299 - 300"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48179271","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}
