An Exploration of the Legal Aid System in Colleges and Universities in the New Era from the Perspective of Realist Legal Education

The construction of university legal aid is an important part of China’s legal aid system, and also an important reform task in deepening the reform of the judicial system proposed by the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. However, as China’s legal education mode is still dominated by traditional theoretical teaching and case teaching methods, teachers’ pure compulsory guidance, as the main body of legal aid organizations in colleges and universities, will inevitably increase their research pressure. Students’ voluntary participation takes up a lot of time and increases their academic pressure, and the development of legal aid organizations in colleges and universities also falls into a dilemma. From the perspective of realistic legal education, this paper deeply studies the development model of legal aid center, pursues the rationality of the legal aid system in colleges and universities, and proposes to formulate the grading standard of legal aid in colleges and universities from the construction and ontology dimension of legal aid system in colleges and universities. The legal aid system of colleges and universities should be improved from four aspects: party building, social union, student organization, and network operation. This puts forward the university legal aid “1+4” solution measures. Through exploring the common measures of legal aid construction in universities, the legal aid of universities has become an important force in the development of public legal service causes in the country.

Impact of Enterprise Innovation Capability on Mergers and Acquisitions Performance

Corporate mergers and acquisitions are beneficial for enhancing competitiveness, promoting industrial upgrading, and expanding market share. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the country has attached great importance to innovation and focused on promoting innovation, placing it at the core of strategic deployment. It can be seen that enhancing innovation capability is particularly important for enterprises. Based on this background, analyzing the relationship between corporate innovation capability and merger and acquisition performance has important academic research significance. This article selects the corporate mergers and acquisitions events of listed companies from 2015 to 2019 as the research object, and empirically tests the impact of corporate innovation capability on corporate merger and acquisition performance through regression analysis. The empirical results show that: (1) the innovation capability of enterprises has a positive promoting effect on the performance of corporate mergers and acquisitions; (2) Both manufacturing and non manufacturing enterprises show a significant positive correlation between their innovation capabilities and M&A performance; (3) There is a significant positive correlation between the innovation capability of enterprises that do not involve major asset restructuring and their M&A performance; (4) Geographical regions can affect the relationship between a company's innovation capability and its merger and acquisition performance.

More transparency, more trust: Evidence from anti‐corruption campaign in China

AbstractA large body of literature has emphasized the importance of trust in the process of modernization and marketization due to its key role in reducing transaction cost, coordinating interpersonal relationships, and maintaining social harmony, limited attentions have been paid to the political setting. To address this research gap, our study empirically examines the relationship between governmental anti‐corruption effort and individual's trust. The anti‐corruption campaign since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China can serve as an excellent quasi‐natural‐experiment in this study to measure the extent to which governments devotes themselves to control corruption. Using the trace dataset of China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) surveys over the period 2012 to 2016, we find that there is a positive relationship between exposure to anti‐corruption campaign and personal political and social trust. Furthermore, our results suggest that this positive effect will be more pronounced when people are nonparty members and affiliated with rural communities, while more salient for those located in east region of China. This study contributes to the literature on spillover of government corruption by linking anti‐corruption campaign and individual‐level trust. Moreover, we also add values in the literature on the determinants of personal trust by providing political explanation.

Концепция экологической цивилизации в Конституции КНР

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, China has been actively promoting the construction of ecological civilization. In 2018, the concept of “ecological civilization” was enshrined in the Constitution of the PRC. At present, building “ecological civilization” has become the legislative goal of many laws in China, and China has also established special tribunals for environmental protection and conservation of ecological resources, which provide judicial specialization of environmental protection. The construction of “ecological civilization” is conducive to the protection of the earth’s three major ecosystems: wetlands, forests and oceans. Enshrining the concept of “ecological civilization” in the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China is of great significance to ensure China’s rule of law in the environmental field and presents China’s experience to the world.

Digital Inclusive Finance Helps Green Industry in Fujian Province Development

Aims: Digital inclusive finance, as a combination of modern technology and financial services, has developed rapidly in recent years. This new financial model has not only changed the traditional way of providing financial services, but also profoundly affected all aspects of economic and social development. The report of the 18th CPC National Congress made the important decision of "vigorously promoting the construction of ecological civilization " from the strategic height of the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. China's green industry has ushered in a new phase of rapid development. As an important province on the southeast coast of China, Fujian Province, with rich natural resources and vast rural areas, is an important region to promote the development of green industry. Methodology: In this paper, the green industry index of nine prefecture-level cities in Fujian Province from 2011 to 2021 is selected as the explanatory variable, and the development level of digital inclusive finance is taken as the core explanatory variable to explore the impact of digital inclusive finance on the development of green industry in Fujian Province. Results: According to the multiple linear regression, it is found that the level of green industry development is positively correlated with the level of digital inclusive finance development at the 1% significant level, i.e., digital inclusive finance helps to promote the development of green industry in Fujian Province. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the study, the paper puts forward the following recommendations: through the provision of low-cost financing, innovative financial products, digitalized payments and settlements, popularisation of financial education, and the promotion of cooperation, digital inclusive finance can effectively support the development of the green industry. This not only helps to achieve the goal of environmentally sustainable development, but also promotes economic growth, creates employment opportunities and enhances social well-being.

Haze Management Competition and Industrial Green Transformation

To clarify the relationship between haze management competition and industrial green transformation, this paper is based on the theoretical perspectives of local government competition and environmental federalism, the specific form of haze governance competition is analyzed by applying the two-region spatial Durbin model, and then the impact of haze governance competition on industrial green transformation and its transmission mechanism is explored by constructing a spatial panel linkage model and adopting the generalized spatial three-stage least squares method. The empirical results show that, with the profound changes in the performance appraisal system since the 18th National Congress, the interaction of environmental governance strategies between geographically adjacent provinces is imitative. In contrast, that which is between economically adjacent provinces is a “race to the top”, and haze governance is conducive to promoting the development of industrial green transformation. Further research found that the competition of haze governance is heterogeneous, and smog control in the eastern region contributes to the green transformation of local industries, while smog control in the central and western regions inhibits their industrial green transformation, and haze governance mainly enhances industrial green transformation through the innovation compensation effect, the human capital effect, and the industrial structure optimization effect. Therefore, the central government should carry out overall planning for the industry, and local governments should strengthen the joint prevention and control of haze and promote technological innovation, to improve environmental quality and realize high-quality economic development.

DOES THE NEW URBANIZATION POLICY PROMOTE RESIDENTS’ CONSUMPTION EQUALITY IN CHINA?

The aim of this study is to explore the policy of new urbanization proposed by the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on consumption equality between rural migrants and the urban population. This study adopts the data of the 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) and uses the difference-in-differences (DID) method to find that the new urbanization policy significantly promotes the consumption equality of residents and that the degree of consumption equality of residents participating in urbanization increases by about 1.5% after the implementation of the new policy. In addition, this study finds that household income equality is the channel of the new urbanization policy that affects household consumption equality. The conclusions are found to be robust and effective after several tests are conducted.

Towards "All-round Cadres": Policy Priorities and Issue Diversity of Local Bureaucrats in China, 2005–19

Abstract: How do Chinese local political elites prioritise their attention in the one-party system? This study examines the issue diversity among China's local cadres by analysing the agendas of 707 local Party secretaries during their daily official activities from 2005 to 2019. Findings reveal that political and economic issues significantly dominate the secretaries' attention, overshadowing other niche topics. Yet after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 2012, there has been an increase in the secretaries' focus on Party affairs while there has been a decline in their focus on economic issues, leading to fragmented attention and disproportionate changes. These findings not only highlight the tension between the broader Party reforms and the actual responses of local officials, but also suggest the CPC's efforts to reshape the bureaucratic system by transforming local cadres into "all-rounders" capable of addressing diverse challenges while maintaining strong political leadership and loyalty.

Financial Performance Evaluation of Leading Fisheries Enterprises Based on Entropy-Weighted TOPSIS Method

Fishery is a strategic and fundamental core industry in China. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the central government has attached great importance to the fishery industry and has issued a series of policies to promote its revitalization and vigorous development. In the favorable policy environment, it is crucial for leading fisheries enterprises to pay attention to financial performance evaluation and strive to improve their own operational efficiency. In this study, we selected seven leading fisheries enterprises as research subjects and used the entropy-weighted TOPSIS method to construct a financial performance evaluation system from four dimensions: debt-paying ability, operational capability, profitability, and development potential. We then conducted performance evaluations on the seven sample companies. The research findings indicate that enterprises should focus on their development capabilities to improve their potential for sustained development, enhance the operational efficiency of fisheries enterprises, and promote their continuous and healthy growth.
