The Main Driving Factors of Optimal Global Population
Authors: Tan Junyui
Published: December 2024

With the global population surpassing 8 billion, defining the optimal population size has never been more critical or complex. Carrying capacity and optimal population theory is crucial in understanding the relationship between population size and available resources. As illustrated in ecological economics, the theoretical concept of carrying capacity is that there is a maximum population size that the environment can sustain without degradation forever. On the other hand, optimum population theory posits that an optimum population size maximizes per capita income and welfare by striking a balance between the benefits of a larger workforce and market size against the costs of overpopulation. This article delves into the definition and influencing factors of the optimal global population, emphasizing the key roles of economic stability, resource allocation, and social welfare in defining the optimal population through multidimensional analysis of labor dynamics, population changes, technological development, and social security systems in China and India. At the same time, this article points out the limitations of existing research and proposes suggestions for future research and policy-making.
Global population growth and sustainability of the Economic Environment: The search for optimal population size
Authors: Zhang Zinuo
Published: December 2024

The substantial population growth in recent years has stimulated economic expansion and technological innovation and provided opportunities for labour force increase and market expansion, generating a "demographic dividend", but at the same time, it has put a burden on ecological resources, which is not conducive to sustainable development. This paper argues that there is an optimal global population that can provide enough labour and market size to drive sustained economic growth while ensuring the well-being of future generations. Specifically, this paper determines the optimal population by comparing the marginal benefit (MB) and marginal cost (MC) generated by the additional population. It explores the virtuous cycle between population growth and economic development. The results show that better resource management and ecological protection measures are needed to ensure sustained economic growth and optimal population size and achieve long-term sustainable development.

Do successful business person benefit others: an analysis based on externalities
Authors: Hao Chenyu
Published: December 2024

There is a huge controversy over whether the economic activities of successful business people are beneficial or detrimental to others. Some researchers believe that successful business people often expend huge resources on personal consumption, and their existence is not conducive to the development of society. However, some researchers believe that the existence of successful business people can greatly promote the development of social productivity, and the benefits of their efforts in industry development generally outweigh the potential drawbacks. Therefore, in order to better distinguish this issue, this article critically analyzes the impact of successful business people's consumption and earnings on society based on the theory of positive and negative externalities. From a positive perspective, business people invest in the education of their employees, which can enhance their abilities, improve their mental health and overall quality, and ultimately reduce crime rates. Moreover, education can promote cultural diversity and then contribute to society's innovative progress. Furthermore, successful business people's investment in medical fields and healthcare benefits individuals' physical and mental well-being. However, the investments of these businessmen also demonstrate noteworthy negative impacts on others and society. However, the investments of these businessmen have also had noteworthy negative impacts on others and society. For example, environmental pollution and food safety issues. In conclusion, the economic activities of successful business people are a double-edged sword. It is important to acquire a more profound understanding of their potential negative impacts and endeavor to minimize harm to others and society while advancing ventures and societal improvements.

Authors: Pan Liquan
Published: December 2024

With the wide deployment of the 5G network, the new generation of information technology, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data, etc., is penetrating the financial field. The impact of FinTech on the innovation of China’s enterprises is getting bigger. In this way, accelerating the development of FinTech and relying on financial tools to promote enterprises to reduce cost and increase efficiency has become an important strategic means. This paper takes Chinese A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2012 to 2022 as samples to explore the impact of FinTech on corporate innovation and analyze the effects of property rights heterogeneity and regional heterogeneity. In addition, this paper further analyzes the moderating effects of corporate internal control and the degree of financing constraints on the impact of FinTech on corporate innovation. The results of the study show that, all other things being equal, FinTech can positively influence corporate innovation. Heterogeneity analysis shows that FinTech can promote corporate innovation more significantly in state-owned enterprises than in private ones. The positive effect of FinTech on corporate innovation is more obvious in the eastern region than in other regions. Furthermore, internal control can enhance the promotion effect of FinTech on corporate innovation, while financing constraints weaken the effect
Spatiotemporal evolution and driving factors of carbon emission intensity from urban land use in China
Authors: Liu Peijie
Published: December 2024

The analysis of spatial differentiation and driving factors of urban land use carbon intensity in China can provide scientific theoretical basis and empirical support for urban control of land use carbon intensity. Based on the calculation of land use carbon intensity of 284 cities at or above the prefecture level in China from 2006 to 2021, this paper uses exploratory spatio-temporal data analysis to investigate the spatio-temporal evolution of urban carbon intensity in China, and introduces a multi-scale geographical weighted regression model to explore the spatial heterogeneity of its driving factors. The results showed that: (1) the carbon emission intensity of cities in China and the three regions showed a decreasing trend over time, and the spatial and temporal distribution of cities had a strong spatial positive correlation. (2) In terms of local spatial structure and dependence of carbon emission intensity, the volatility of cities in central and western regions is higher, while cities in eastern regions are relatively more stable; In the spatial pattern, there are some characteristics of transfer inertia and locking. (3) The main driving factors of carbon reduction effect at different spatial and temporal scales are different, and there is a certain spatial heterogeneity. This study comprehensively discussed the temporal and spatial transition, convergence trend and driving factors of urban land carbon emission intensity in China, attempting to provide a reference for differentiated emission reduction strategies for cities, which is of great significance for the transformation of cities from "dual control of energy consumption" to "dual control of carbon emission" and the green transformation of economic and social structure.

Study on Chinese High School Students Career Planning and Career Choice Influencing Factors - Career Anchor Perspective
Authors: Wu Chunke
Published: December 2024

The career anchor theory is one of the important theories in modern human resource management. Carrying out career anchor assessments effectively and conducting career education for high school students based on the career anchor theory is not only beneficial for the career positioning and choices of high school students,but also helpful in the effective implementation of career education work. In recent years, the issue of high school students' employment has become a focus of social concern, making it increasingly difficult to find a suitable career truly. Therefore, in guiding on student employment, more emphasis should be placed on educating high school students on career values. Helping high school students find the right career, positioning their career anchors well, and establishing a scientific career outlook is key. The career anchor theory proposed by the renowned American career guidance expert Edgar H. Schein provides theoretical guidance for the career positioning and choices of high school students. Therefore, this study uses Schein's career anchor theory as the research perspective and main theoretical support, selecting high school students as the research subjects, and applying the career anchor theory to the study of high school students' career values through empirical analysis. This paper adopts a research model combining "point" and "surface". The basic analysis of the contemporary high school student’s career outlook belongs to the "surface" category of universal discussion. Based on this, a survey was conducted on the career values of high school students in Chongqing through questionnaire surveys, and the career anchors of high school students were tested, which belongs to the "point" category of particular analysis. The study indicates that high school student’s career choices overall exhibit ambiguity in career direction and oscillation, highlighting the urgent need for guidance on career anchors focusing on career positioning. Therefore, this paper proposes to identify career anchors among high school students, determine career anchor types using career anchor assessment methods, utilize the career anchor theory to establish an adaptable career outlook, and hopes that the career anchor theory can play a positive role in the career education of high school students and help them establish a scientific career outlook.

These findings provide insights into the factors shaping college students' satisfaction with on-campus catering services and highlight areas where cafeteria services can be enhanced.
Shaping Health: An Interpretation of the Fitness Motivation of the Middle Class
Authors: Li Yue
Published: December 2024

Recently, there has been a growing focus on fitness, particularly among the middle class, who invest significant time and effort in this pursuit. Consequently, the study of middle-class fitness motivation has become a subject of academic interest. This paper examines the importance of health concepts in modern society and the current state, motivations, and influencing factors of fitness activities among the Chinese middle class. With the improvement of living standards and changing lifestyle, health has become a fundamental basis for personal happiness and quality of life, and fitness, as an important means to improve and maintain health, has gradually gained favor among the middle class. Middle-class fitness activities exhibit a trend of diversification, individualization, and scientificity. In investigating fitness motivations, this paper finds that the fitness motivations of the Chinese middle class primarily encompass health pursuits, social needs, and self-actualization. They engage in fitness to improve and maintain physical health, expand their social circles, and enhance personal value. Simultaneously, cultural and economic factors collectively shape the fitness motivations of the middle class. The transformation of traditional health concepts and the influence of media and popular culture have prompted them to pay greater attention to fitness, while the increase in income levels and the rise of marketization have provided them with more convenient and efficient fitness services. Finally, this paper summarizes the main characteristics of the fitness motivations of the Chinese middle class and outlines directions for future research. These studies will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the fitness behavior of the middle class and provide a scientific basis for the formulation of relevant policies and the development of the fitness market.

Research on the Value of IP of China’s Animated Film "Nezha"
Authors: Wang Yangyi
Published: December 2024

In recent years, animated films based on traditional Chinese character mythology have emerged one after another, gaining much popularity. "NeZha" has become a hugely successful IP after "Sun Wukong". As a symbol of ethnic culture, Nezha is a space carrying the past, present and in the future. This paper takes "Nezha" IP as the research object, combines the relevant knowledge of semiotics and value theory, and adopts the research methods of literature analysis, text analysis, and in-depth interview. This paper focuses on the internal law of IP value generation in animated films. Animation IP forms value in the creation stage, and realizes value in the transmission and acceptance of consumption. Take the dynamic process of value generation as the logic of this paper. The first part, starting from the value creation and meaning subject of animated film IP, analyzes the changes on social and cultural context, and finds that its narrative structure moves from binary opposition to intertextuality and pluralism, from grand meaning presupposition to subtle, paying more attention to the present and each individual. Then, it traces the history of Nezha and analyzes Nezha in different periods from the three levels of language, myth with the help of Roland Barthes' semiotics theory, explains the evolution of its role symbols, concludes the core composition of value creation. The second part, from the perspective of audience acceptance, analyzes the "process" and "meaning" of value transmission. Due to the changes of communicated environment, the mode of communication changes from single to multiple and interactive; The main body of communication changes to the national side; The process of audience's meaning interpretation can be divided into the interpretation and re-creation of the text. The third part further discusses the composition and generating elements of value, and summarizes the first two parts. Meaning is formed in the superficial emotional perception, the middle level rational thinking and the deep self-identification of the audience. The cultural value and symbolic value and economic value of animation film IP are generated in the cycle transformation.

Research on the Trademark Protection of Artificial Intelligence Generation Technology Achievements
Authors: Cai Ningxun
Published: December 2024

With the rapid development of science and technology, artificial intelligence has become a hot spot in the field of global innovation. Artificial intelligence has led a new round of scientific and technological competition and is known as the “fourth industrial revolution”. The rise of generative artificial intelligence technology and the adoption of artificial intelligence to generate technological achievements have triggered a new challenge for trademark recognition. This kind of technology has the unique characteristics of self-learning and self-optimization, which is significantly different from the traditional object of intellectual property protection. However, the current legal framework is often difficult to cover the innovations of such emerging technologies, which leads to many disputes on the determination of trademark rights. In view of the difficulties faced by the identification of trademark rights of technological achievements generated by artificial intelligence, we should improve the relevant provisions of Articles 30 and 31 of the Trademark Law on infringement of the prior rights of others, and introduce professionals to conduct manual audit and expert evaluation. At the same time, we should also define the trademark ownership of artificial intelligence technology achievements and the defining standard of human creative contribution, and introduce “confusion possibility” as the identification standard of trademark infringement.

Policy Evaluation and Pathway Optimization for High-Quality Development of National Auditing: A Study Based on Grounded Theory and the PMC Model
Authors: Li Yufei
Published: December 2024

National auditing serves as a critical safeguard for the health of China’s economic operations and is an essential mechanism for promoting good governance. Audit policies play a pivotal role in guiding and advancing auditing activities. This study, based on grounded theory and social network analysis, utilizes NVivo 12 Plus and ROSTCM6 software to mine and analyze policy documents from recent years aimed at fostering high-quality national auditing. On this basis, an evaluation index system is constructed using the PMC (Policy Modeling Consistency) index model. The PMC indices for 14 policy samples from 2014 to 2023 are calculated, and a PMC surface plot is generated. The results of the policy evaluation (11 rated as good, 3 as acceptable) indicate that there is still room for optimization in policies concerning the high-quality development of national auditing. Further analysis reveals that while these policies perform well in areas such as policy evaluation and support measures, there are shortcomings in aspects like policy focus, policy domains, and perspectives. Finally, the study proposes recommendations for policy optimization, offering both theoretical and practical insights to support the high-quality development of national auditing and contribute to new roles for national auditing in the process of Chinese-style modernization.

Authors: Xie Haosheng , Zhang Estella Qiming
Published: December 2024

Despite the vast differences in cultural, political, and economic contexts between China and the U.S., our interviews with stakeholders in Michigan (U.S.) and Anhui (China) reveal shared challenges in rural tourism——environmental sustainability concerns, limited distinct innovation in tourism offerings, infrastructure deficiencies, and insufficient community engagement and intrinsic motivation. This study identifies the common root cause behind the shared challenges in rural tourism as rooted in policy and governance. The analysis introduces an "Ideal Point" framework, which suggests neither extreme—whether high or low levels of government intervention—is optimal for fostering sustainable rural tourism. Instead, the best approach lies in achieving a balanced level of intervention tailored to the specific needs of each nation.

Authors: Qian Xiuqi
Published: December 2024

Nowadays, the trend of the digital economy is prevalent, enterprises actively carry out the transformation of digital intelligence to seek a favourable position, and the Chinese government also vigorously promotes digital infrastructure, but the relationship between them remains to be investigated. Based on the panel data of A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2022, this paper constructs a double fixed effect model and demonstrates that digital infrastructure has a positive effect on the digital intelligent transformation of enterprises. The results show that technology spillover effect, production scale and digital sales play an intermediary role in the promotion of digital infrastructure to the transformation of digital intelligence of enterprises. Digital infrastructure has a significant role in promoting the transformation of enterprises in the eastern and western regions and areas with weak business environments. The level of enterprises’ opening-up plays a moderating role in the promotion of digital infrastructure to the digital intelligent transformation of enterprises. Based on this, some suggestions are put forward to speed up the construction of digital infrastructure and build a digital infrastructure system according to local conditions.

Authors: Sun Yuxuan
Published: December 2024

With the continuous development of encryption technology, big data, artificial intelligence, and financial technology, digital currencies have emerged, which are based on blockchain technology to achieve peer-to-peer transactions and have high security and convenience. Unlike electronic and virtual currency, digital currency is a nonintermediary payment mechanism based on distributed ledger technology. The rise of digital currency has profoundly impacted the traditional currency system. On the one hand, digital currencies have improved transaction efficiency and payment convenience, reduced transaction costs, and promoted innovation in financial models. On the other hand, digital currencies also bring new risks and challenges, such as information leakage, fund security issues, and impact on traditional financial institutions. In addition, digital currencies may exacerbate global development imbalances, leading to differences in the efficiency of digital currency usage between developed and developing countries. This article further explores the relationship between digital currency and traditional currency, predicts their coexistence or substitution trends in the future, and emphasizes the importance of managing digital currency. Formulating relevant laws and policies to protect consumer assets and personal information security helps to promote the healthy development of digital currency and promote the stability and prosperity of the economy and society.

Authors: Zheng Qiaomu
Published: December 2024

This paper delves into the key factors affecting the usefulness of online reviews, which are subdivided into two categories: heuristic cues and systematic cues. By crawling and analyzing online review data from six popular scenic spots in Xi'an, this paper incorporates the multimodal concept and investigates the effects of six variables, namely, text length, rating, timeliness, whether there are pictures, text sentiment, and consistency between the review text and the picture content on review usefulness, as well as the moderating effect of the anonymous identity of the reviewer. The results show that review text length, rating, timeliness and availability of pictures all have a significant positive effect on review usefulness. At the same time, review text sentiment and consistency between the review text and the picture content had no significant effect on review usefulness. This study expands the research scenario of review usefulness with tourism, fills the problem of insufficient attention to picture variables in previous studies, and provides ideas for optimizing the review recommendation mechanism and the reward mechanism of high-quality reviews on online consumer websites.

Authors: Zeng Jiale
Published: December 2024

Driven by the new quality productivity, the new energy automobile industry shows a broad development prospect. However, the current ratio of vehicles to piles cannot effectively support the sustainable development of this industry, and the imperfection of infrastructure construction has become an important bottleneck restricting the development of the new energy automobile industry in China, which may further affect the overall improvement of new quality productivity. Based on the panel data of 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China from 2016 to 2022, combined with the existing evaluation index system of new quality productivity, this paper deeply analyzes the influence of new energy vehicle infrastructure construction on regional new quality productive forces by constructing a panel random effect model. The results show that the infrastructure construction of new energy vehicles can promote the improvement of new quality productivity, and it has passed the data robustness test, showing regional heterogeneity. Based on this, it is suggested that according to the development level and demand for new quality productive forces in different regions, infrastructure construction should be moderately strengthened to provide effective policy reference for the development of regional new quality productivity.
Research on ESG Performance and Financial Risk of A-share Listed Companies
Authors: Huang Mingshu
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between ESG performance and financial risks of A-share listed companies, and to analyze whether good ESG practices can help reduce financial risks. Taking A-share listed companies from 2013 to 2023 as samples, this paper examines the direct impact of ESG performance on financial risks and its mechanism through empirical analysis. On this basis, heterogeneity analysis and robustness test are carried out to ensure the wide applicability and reliability of the research results. Research shows that excellent ESG performance significantly reduces the financial risks of enterprises, and this conclusion is still valid under the background of global policy changes and increasing climate pressure. Especially for enterprises that occupy an important position in the global supply chain and face high policy uncertainty, ESG performance plays a particularly prominent role in reducing the cost of debt financing. Under the conditions of high marketization and high quality of internal control, excellent ESG performance has a more significant effect on alleviating financial risks in non-state-owned and non-heavily polluting enterprises. This study provides theoretical support for ESG investment and risk assessment under the background of globalization. The research results provide a reference for enterprise management and international investors, and help them to reasonably evaluate the impact of ESG performance on their financial stability and long-term value in the context of the current global climate policy tightening and social responsibility requirements.

With the increasing attention of the world to the sustainable development of agriculture and the continuous improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection and food safety, the construction and development of ecological agriculture industry chain has become a research hotspot in the field of agriculture. This study takes the industrial chain of apple eco-agriculture as the object, analyzes the current situation of apple industrial chain on the basis of theoretical cognition of circular economy, food chain and industrial symbiosis, and constructs the internal ecological industrial chain of apple "plant-sales" and the ecological cycle industrial chain of apple "plant-processing". Finally, It is suggested that leading enterprises and e-commerce platforms should be used to strengthen the collectivization degree of farmers, build a green and circular agricultural industry chain, and improve the scientific and technological content of fruits.
Can Financial Technology Affect Enterprise Innovation? -Research Based on Text Mining Method
Authors: Ge Tan
Published: December 2024

With the widespread deployment of 5G networks, a new generation of information technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data is penetrating deeply into all corners of the financial sector. Financial technology (FinTech) is increasingly influencing enterprise innovation in China. Accelerating the development of FinTech and leveraging financial instruments to drive cost reduction and efficiency enhancement in enterprises have become crucial strategic approaches. This paper takes A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2012 to 2022 as the research sample to explore the impact of FinTech on enterprise innovation and conducts an analysis of the heterogeneity of property rights and regional impacts of this effect. Additionally, this paper further analyzes the moderating effects of internal control and the degree of financing restrictions on the impact of FinTech on enterprise innovation. The research results indicate that, with other conditions remaining unchanged, FinTech positively influences enterprise innovation. The heterogeneity analysis shows that compared to private enterprises, FinTech significantly promotes enterprise innovation in state-owned enterprises. Furthermore, compared to other regions, the positive impact of FinTech on enterprise innovation is more pronounced in eastern China. Additionally, internal control enhances the promoting effect of FinTech on enterprise innovation, while financing restrictions weaken this promoting effect.
