Authors: Wang Suyan
Published: June 2023

Although many who live in the United States may conclude the overturn of progressive policies as a representation of the cultural war, few can really specify the origin of the conflict. This paper focuses on the historical and sociological reasons behind the current American culture war. It can be concluded that the origin of the current culture war is heavily attributed to the influence of Christian, or specifically, Protestant ideology on the construction of American collective consciousness. Through analysis of research databases from the past, this research proposes that (a) the American state has never been separated from its church and (b) Protestantism is a result of old collective consciousness and a root for democracy, the new collective consciousness. Thus, (c) the cultural war in current American society is between two sets of collective consciousnessbetween Protestantism and universal democracy. In addition to research on the origin of the cultural war, this research also seeks to suggest the importance of understanding the context of a situation.

Authors: Tang Yuxuan
Published: June 2023

As a mainstay of the luxury consumer group, Gen Z has become a global phenomenon, especially in the United States and China. Marketing strategies for attracting this emerging consumer segment can be learned from the Chinese luxury market. This study used the Chinese luxury market and its Gen Z consumers as a case study to offer scientific recommendations to luxury marketers based on various statistics and related literature, including demographic descriptions, market reports, and consumer behaviors. It also discusses how Gen Z differs from its elder sibling, millennials, who are currently the focus of luxury brands' marketing efforts. Consequently, three factors contributing to Gen Zs dominance of the Chinese luxury market have been found. Firstly, the optimism and impulsivity of Gen Z make them spend more than they can afford. In addition, Gen Zs are exposed to a constant stream of uncensored, real-time events, information, and entertainment, which makes it easier for them to access information related to luxury goods. Lastly, digitalization facilitates online shopping for luxury goods. Accordingly, as Chinese Gen Z crave unique and personalized experiences, customized services can be a winning point for luxury brands.

The Role of the First Lady in Public Diplomacy since the Founding of the Republic of China
Authors: Huang Yun
Published: June 2023

Governments around the world attach great importance to first lady diplomacy since it is a crucial form of public diplomacy. When first ladies are now playing an increasingly prominent role in diplomacy, a relevant study in China is yet to be conducted. Therefore this paper aims to analyze the role of the first lady in Chinas public diplomacy based on historical facts. Politics and gender equality were once the two major factors hindering the development of first lady diplomacy in the early days of the Peoples Republic of China until Mrs. Wang Guangmei won a good reputation for China with her demeanor and competence during her debut on the international stage in 1963. Her visit not only contributed to Chinas breakthrough in ideology but also brought a wisp of freshness to her compatriots, who were then living a hard life. First lady diplomacy in China embraced its new era upon Mrs. Peng Liyuans first overseas visit in 2013, during which Mrs. Peng gave full play to the great influence of the first lady: not only was she an aspiring promoter of Chinese brands and culture, but also an active participant in public welfare. Her musical background, in the meantime, adds to the shaping of Chinas national image in a gentle way.
Nativism and the Civil War: The Impact of the Emancipation of Slaves on American Immigration
Authors: Chik Nicholas
Published: June 2023

The emancipation of enslaved people after the Civil War dramatically altered the perception of immigrants in the United States. This paper explores legal and social changes that took place in America after the Reconstruction period and analyzes the effect of those changes by comparing the treatment of the Irish in the mid-19th century with that of immigrants who arrived later in the century. It focuses on three main topics: the evolution of immigration laws, the rising popularity of post-war pseudo-scientific theories on race in the late 19th century, and immigrant groups assimilation rates. The study demonstrates how these concepts are interrelated to illustrate the impact of the Civil War on immigration trends. It concentrates on Irish and Italian families since they share many traits: both groups came from poor, rural backgrounds, both took jobs away from Americans and lowered wages, both immigrant groups practiced Catholicism, and both came in waves from Europe. Despite these similarities, Italians, like Asian and Jewish immigrants fleeing their homelands between the 1880s and early 1900s, faced more virulent forms of nativism and more restrictions than Irish newcomers a few decades earlier, in part because of the 14th Amendments definition of birth-based citizenship and post-Reconstruction discrimination that was intended to subordinate newly freed African Americans.

Authors: Zou Lemiao
Published: June 2023

In recent years, the birth rates have been declining in China. In response to this problem, the government has introduced the three-child policy. Nowadays, many scholars have interpreted and analyzed this policy at a societal level and claimed that it has helped improve the demographics and promote economic development. However, few have studied the policys impact on women themselves and their reproductive rights. Therefore, by drawing upon information collected from various institutions, such as the China Family Plan Studies and the National Bureau of Statistics, this paper comprehensively assesses the advantages and disadvantages of the three-child policy and explores the current situation of womens reproductive rights. This paper argues that the three-child policy undermines womens reproductive autonomy. The policy also affects the economic and cultural spheres from a political perspective, leaving women in a vulnerable position and thus harming their reproductive rights. To achieve fairness and equality between men and women, this article makes recommendations to the government from three perspectives: political, mental, and economic.

The Impact of Live Commerce and Short Video on College Students Actual Purchase
Authors: Che Wanyi , Huang Qingfang , Liu Siyuan
Published: June 2023

The emergence of new media has led to live commerce becoming a novel, widely adopted trend, and live commerce has also become a new business model. This study has put a lot of work into creating an integrated model that combines the theories of planned behavior and media exposure to explain the connection between watching short videos and in-person shopping. We looked at the connections between attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, frequency, duration, and attention to live commerce viewing, as well as real purchases. To check the accuracy of the fictitious model, 402 college students in China participated in a questionnaire study that yielded empirical data. The structural equation model is shown to have a strong model fit for empirical data, while the measurement model demonstrates that the theoretical constructs have appropriate reliability and validity. The results of the study demonstrate that customers attitudes toward live commerce and their perceived behavioral control over it greatly influenced their actual purchases. But the effect of subjective norms on actual purchases has not been verified. This research addressed the knowledge gap in the application of TPB to explain offline and online purchasing behavior. Also, this study has its limitation; since the research is primarily focused on China, it is difficult to extrapolate the findings to other countries.

A Study of the Negative Pathways of Social Media Connection Overload based on the Rooting Theory
Authors: Zeng Yufei
Published: June 2023

This study looks at the social phenomenon of people being over-connected to social media and considers the links between the negative effects social media has on its users. At the same time, it explores the root causes of the negative effects of social media. The aim of this basic research is to uncover the correlation between the negative effects of social media. Although there has been much research on the negative effects of social media, most of the articles have focused on one type of impact and have not considered the interconnectedness. This study focuses on the types of impact, the degree of impact, the ways of impact and the manifestations of being affected by the negative impact of social media, thus dividing the five types of impact and designing questions corresponding to them. The relationship between the questions and the derivation of the impact is shown, and the valid sample collected through the questionnaire is then analysed based on rooting theory, resulting in a complete pathway of interaction. This study extends a new direction for related research, but because of the large scope of this study and the small amount of sample data, the conclusions may not be specific and detailed enough and may be superficial in theoretical formulation, although its findings provide a preliminary theoretical framework and reference for future related research on influence pathways.
The Research on the Context and Style of Avant-garde Fashion on Chinese Social Media Platforms
Authors: Wang Jinlan , Zhang Chuer
Published: June 2023

The way the general public comprehends, and processes fashion has evolved as a direct result of the proliferation of social media platforms, particularly the growth of the "influencer" profession, which has steadily eroded the once-dominant position of fashion magazines and editors. This study does more than only close the gaps in the knowledge of avant-garde fashion's communication and style; it also delves into the curious phenomena of niche fashion trends shared on Chinese social media. The authors analyzed the contexts of fashion-related influencers on TikTok and Xiaohongshu, like @AHALOLO, @MetaArchive, and @Instantly to fill the gaps in the understanding of fashion subcultures. The study also addressed the phenomenon of "viral" fashion trends on Wechat, Bilibili, and Tiktok. It concluded that the continued existence of labels is primarily attributed to the media's efforts. By increasing brand awareness, audience engagement, customer service, advertising income, and app downloads, media has helped firms keep their operational costs and revenue high. As facilitated by new media, the rapid and varied dissemination of fashion ideas may increase both their societal and consumer worth.

After the Appellate Body has become dysfunctional, some WTO members reached multi-party interim appeal arbitration arrangement (MPIA) and set up a temporary appellate arbitration mechanism. Based on Article 25 of the DSU, MPIA has characteristics of both its own and WTO rules. Its establishment has profound significance for global politics, economy and even the reform of WTOs dispute settlement mechanism. However, due to its own legal principles, nature and other factors, MPIA may be easily trapped in difficulties of insufficient effectiveness, lack of official funds and support from the secretariat. Therefore, this article discusses the nature, difficulties and development prospects of MPIA to demonstrate the possibility of being a powerful alternative dispute settlement mechanism after the shutdown of the WTO appellate body and analyzes its advantages such as flexible mechanism.

Published: June 2023

Since the 21st century, the rapid development of information technology has contributed to the rise of digital trade. However, WTO still does not have a complete set of systems applicable to digital trade rules. The article adopts two research methods, text analysis and comparative analysis. It takes the text content of digital trade rules of CPTPP, USMCA, DEPA and AfCFTA as the entry point to analyze the current negotiation issues of WTO. The WTO should include the contents contained in the above four regional trade agreements but not included in the scope of negotiation into the negotiation issues, to comprehensively improve the WTO's digital trade system. The construction of digital trade rules under the WTO system should fully draw on existing regional trade agreements to comprehensively improve digital trade rules. Besides, in future negotiations on digital trade rules, WTO should adhere to the attitude of seeking convergence in the negotiation process and seek common ground while reserving differences. In addition, China should be sought as the representative of the major countries that can lead the negotiations to facilitate the conclusion of the talks.
On the Public Morality Exception Rule Under the WTO: The Case of China-US Cultural Products Market Access as an Example
Authors: Wang Siyuan
Published: June 2023

As the first of all exceptions in the GATT and GATS agreements, the public morals exception has been invoked by many countries in practice to justify their trade restrictive measures. The WTO rulings in the US Gaming case and the US-China Cultural Products Market Access case have made important contributions to the development of the public morality exception, but the concept of "public morality" and the extraterritorial effects of this rule have not been clarified. By considering these issues, the article proposes to adopt a "restricted domestic approach" to the definition and application of the public morality exception rule and to strictly limit the extraterritorial effects of the rule. This paper uses the research methods of comparative study and case study.
Suggestions Regarding the WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism in Strengthening Multilateralism
Authors: Yang Jiacheng
Published: June 2023

Amid the outbreak of the US-China trade war from March 22, 2018, to July 6, 2018, the United States government announced trade enforcement actions against China. This was based on an investigation conducted following Section 301 of US Trade Law. Responding to the announcement, the Chinese government retorted with claims of possible countermeasures against the US, citing the Foreign Trade Law of China. At the beginning 74 days of the trade war, the US and China filed three motions for negotiations with the WTO Settlement Body over intellectual property and tariff issues before the US imposed an additional import tariff on China officially. From the start to now, the United States and China have filed eight consultations with the WTO dispute settlement body (DSB). However, no applications have yet provided effective legal support to resolve the trade dispute between these two nations or succeeded to uphold multilateralism. This reflects the weakness of the WTO Settlement Mechanism in upholding multilateralism. With analysis and comparison of the occurrence of the US-China trade war and the eight cases brought by China and the US to the WTO DSB during the trade war easily, two shortcomings of the WTO dispute resolution process in upholding multilateralism and the reasons for them are revealed. Based on this, relevant solutions are proposed.
