The People-to-People Bond between China and the Five Mekong Countries: An Empirical Analysis Based on the Employees in the Host Countries of Chinese Funded Enterprises
XU Qinghong, NONG Huiting and DING Dingqin
Abstract As the “golden model” of sub-regional cooperation, the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation is the key to promoting the long-term and in-depth development of Lancang-Mekong Cooperation by deepening people to people ties in the Lancang-Mekong subregion. In view of the lack of attention to the micro-perspective of the people in the existing research on people-to-people communication, this paper starts from the perspective of the employees in the host countries of Chinese funded enterprises and builds a three-dimensional measurement index system of cognition-emotion-intention with close internal connection based on ABC attitude model, so as to investigate the current situation of people-to-people communication between China and Mekong countries. It is found that there are obvious national and individual heterogeneity in the three-dimensional effectiveness of the people-to-people connection between China and Mekong countries. Finally, this paper puts forward specific suggestions from the aspects of improving the external communication efficiency, strengthening the localized management of Chinese enterprises to employees, and strengthening the promotion of Chinese cultural products.

In the Name of Culture: China’s Diplomatic Strategy towards Myanmar in the Early Years of the People’s Republic of China
JIANG Fan
Abstract In the context of the Cold War, although the People’s Republic of China formally established diplomatic relations with the Union of Myanmar in 1950, there were still misgivings between China and Myanmar, and the relationship between the two countries was relatively cold at first. From 1950 to 1953, in the cautious and limited contacts between China and Myanmar, China timely grasped the opportunities of cultural exchange between China and Myanmar, and by focusing on cultural exhibitions and cultural visits, reshaped Myanmar’s understanding of People’s Republic of China, and publicized China’s policy of developing production at home and striving for peace abroad. The cultural diplomatic strategy of People’s Republic of China towards Myanmar successfully promoted the gradual warming of Sino-Burmese relations, and laid the foundation for a breakthrough in Sino-Burmese relations in 1954.

Process, Characteristics and Directions of China’s Participation in Public Health Governance Practice in East Asia
CHEN Xirui, YANG Yue
Abstract China has actively participated in and led the process of public health governance in East Asia at the global, cross-regional, regional and sub-regional levels, and transformed its role from integrator, recipient and sponsor to provider and leader of public goods since its establishment. Although China’s participation in public health governance in East Asia has been guided by shared values, consultative mechanisms and a multi-track approach, there are still challenges both within and outside the region, such as collective action dilemmas, fragmentation of governance and interference from major power rivalries. In the post-pandemic era, China must actively advocate the alignment of the overall direction of regional public health governance with the priorities of the health agenda of the countries in the region, promote public health governance in East Asia towards a higher degree of institutional cooperation and a more integrated cooperation with the participation of multiple actors, and counter external interference with a far-sighted strategic vision and a pragmatic spirit of cooperation.

China’s Public Health Diplomacy Review of Central Asian Countries
WEI Jinshen, LI Fangling
Abstract The outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 has increased the prominence of public health safety issues. China’s public health diplomacy with Central Asian countries is an important part of people-to-people ties and has a solid foundation. After the outbreak of the COVID-19, China and Central Asian countries engaged in various forms and rich public health diplomacy. China’s public health diplomacy with Central Asian countries not only takes the response to the COVID-19 epidemic as its main task, but also focuses on public health cooperation between China and Central Asian countries in the post epidemic era, which has injected strong impetus into overcoming the impact of the epidemic, promoting people-to-people bonds, and building a Healthy Silk Road and a community with a shared future for human health.

India’s Civil-Military Relations and the 1965 Indo-Pakistan War
WEI Han
Abstract There is a general consensus about the civil-military relationship in India, that is, India can achieve better civil control. Although India can achieve good civil control, the role of civilian government and military in war has not been constant in India’s independent history of over 70 years. Unlike Nehru, Prime Minister Lal Shastri had less control over Indian politics and the army had a stronger role in his tenure. Different from the 1962 Sino-Indian armed conflict, Shastri adjusted the model of the civil-military relationship and weakened the degree of civil control. In the 1965 Indo-Pakistan war, the civilian government played a more passive role, while the military’s role was strengthened. In this war between India and Pakistan, the army played a more prominent role in both the decision-making process of starting and ending the war. However, due to the weak coordination of the civilian government and the lack of clear strategic goals, the army’s war-conducting was adversely affected.

South Korea’s Semiconductor Strategy and Its Future Direction under the Perspective of Techno-Nationalism
WEI Yixuan
Abstract The Fourth Industrial Revolution has been sweeping the globe for the past ten years, and competition among major powers has been increasingly fierce since then. In terms of the semiconductor industry, the U.S. firmly holds the world technological hegemony at this stage, but South Korea also ranks among the top tier because of its large market share in the world semiconductor market. Just after the U.S. against this drop back, South Korea promoted a national-level semiconductor strategy and strengthened its technological cooperation with the U.S. to maintain and enhance its position in global semiconductor industry. From the perspective of technology nationalism, South Korea’s current semiconductor strategy is both defensive and offensive, but in the near future, it’s highly likely that the offensive side will prevail. The influencing factors include South Korea’s political conservatism, nationalism, and more importantly, the U.S. factor. By then, it will weigh more pressure on China’s semiconductor industry.

The Construction of Northeast Asian Economic Corridor under the Connectivity Framework
ZHANG Chi and XIANG Hongwei
Abstract As the Belt and Road initiative enters its second decade, the extension of the initiative to Northeast Asia is facing a favorable historical opportunity. The construction of Northeast Asian Economic Corridor (NAEC) should be an inherent part of this extension. The construction of NAEC should follow the way of connectivity: Firstly, form synergy among the development strategies of relevant countries to realize policy coordination; secondly, promote the construction of cross-border transport infrastructure to facilitate facilities connectivity; thirdly, break down trade barriers to accelerate unimpeded trade; fourthly, expand the currency swap and financial cooperation to promote financial integration; and fifthly, improve the people-to-people exchange to consolidate the people-to-people bond. All these efforts mentioned above are to break the obstacles hindering the integration. After realizing both the positive prospect and the potential challenges of NAEC, China should try its best to make the NAEC as the common bond connecting all Northeast Asian countries.

Tumen River Subregional Cooperation: Development, Obstacles and Prospects
WANG Qiu and WANG Dan
Abstract After more than 30 years of development, the Tumen River Subregional Cooperation has gone through two stages: from the Tumen River Area Development Programme (TRADP) under the United Nations to the Greater Tumen Initiative (GTI). It has achieved certain results in various fields. However, the cooperation in the Tumen River subregion is deeply influenced by geopolitics. In three aspects, interaction between countries, institutionalization, and supply of regional public goods, it presents three categories of problems, limited interaction, low level of institutionalization, and weak supply. For the future, subregional countries should focus on projects cooperation, reduce the influence of countries outside the region, and promote the return of key countries in the region to the mechanism. In that case, it will improve the level and effectiveness of Tumen River subregional cooperation, and provide an opportunity for China to break through the restrictions on Northeast Asia’s access to the sea.
