The Role of Internet Development in China’s Grain Production: Specific Path and Dialectical Perspective

With the development of the internet in China, information asymmetry in traditional agriculture production has been alleviated, and the information on modern agricultural technologies and production factor mobility has been widely disseminated, significantly impacting the country’s grain productivity and output. The pertinence and effectiveness of food security system arrangement can be ensured by revealing the influence of the internet on grain production. Based on the panel data of 30 provincial administrative regions in China from 1997 to 2018, a mediation model and a moderation model were used to evaluate the effect of internet development on grain output and constraints. The results showed that grain output could be promoted as internet penetration directly increases, and can also be boosted by enhancing technology usage and promoting operation scale expansion through the internet. However, the positive effect of this cycle could be inhibited by rural population aging, as there are many barriers faced by the elderly using information and communication technology (ICT). Strengthening agricultural technology utilization and promoting large-scale operation can encourage the development of rural internet, consequently improving the national food security guarantee capacity. It is equally important to simplify internet usage to alleviate the adverse impact of population aging on grain output. This study contributes to three sections of literature on (i) the factors influencing grain output, (ii) the mediating effects of the information transmission function of the internet, (iii) and the potential impact of aging in the information era. Exploring agricultural growth from an innovative perspective of the internet can provide a reference for ensuring food security and agricultural informatization.

Path Analysis of Agricultural Economy Information Construction under the Perspective of Urban-Rural Integration Strategy in the “Internet Plus” Era

China Internet plus rural industrial integration is applied in the era of agricultural informatization in the era of Internet plus urban integration strategy. For many years, the themes of urban-rural integration, agricultural economy, and rural revitalization have been the core topics of China’s economic research. This study fully integrates the above elements and analyzes the development path of rural economic informatization in China’s special environment. Supported by the national strategic direction and related policies such as the integration of urban and rural areas, Internet plus agriculture, agricultural informatization, and rural revitalization, we hope to achieve faster agricultural economic development through the rational optimization of agricultural economic integration and supervision and promotion programs and the use of the existing information platform. The problems of China’s agricultural economic development caused by historical reasons are thoroughly solved. China’s regional agricultural economy should not only be not limited to the large-scale and intensive development of planting, animal husbandry, forestry, and fishery in the primary industry but also should realize the integration of urban and rural areas under the background of economic informatization, develop the secondary and tertiary industries related to agriculture in the agricultural economic zone, let the agricultural economy get rid of the constraints of the development ideas of the primary industry, and let the high value-added characteristics of the secondary industry and the tertiary industry fully contribute to the development of agricultural economy.

Analyzing the Reversal of Public Opinion in the Internet Era From "Bao Yuming's Alleged Sexual Assault Case

With the rapid development of the Internet in China in recent years, the public tends to get information about news events from the Internet and publish their opinions on online social platforms. Guiding people's public opinion in the online world has become an essential social proposition. We choose the "Bao Yuming's alleged sexual assault case," which caused an intense social discussion on the Chinese Internet in 2020, as a case study for analysis and analysis of the various public opinion phenomena that emerged in society at that time discuss their causes and background. Finally, we propose ways to guide the case from three aspects.

Cyberspace-based urban networks: Visualising and exploring China's intercity interaction from a new perspective

The rapid urbanisation of China has increased public awareness of rising housing prices, particularly in large and medium-sized cities. The popularisation of the Internet in China has driven a shift in the public's attention to housing prices, moving from geographic space to cyberspace. Based on web search engine data using geotag, this paper attempts to create a better visualisation of the shift in the public's attention to housing prices from the perspectives of geographic space and cyberspace. Intercity interaction is also analysed in the context of cyberspace-based urban networks, through hybrid featured graphics. Specifically, data regarding public attention to housing prices are gathered (via queries data through Baidu Index) in 363 Chinese cities. The data are divided into a local city housing price attention index and an offsite city housing price attention index. Second, public attention flows are presented using origin-destination flows maps, chord diagrams and violin diagrams. These hybrid feature graphics show the interrelationship between cities and the complexity of public attention flows. This information will help us to reveal intercity interaction and the cyberspace-based urban network structure in China.

The Relationship between Internet Use and Population Health: A Cross-Sectional Survey in China.

Given the increasing use of the Internet in China, the relationship between Internet use and population health has been receiving increased academic attention. However, the current literature has not yet reached a unified conclusion; thus, further research is very necessary. This study used the 2018 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data to explore the relationship between Internet use and the health of the population and to evaluate the possible heterogeneity of the association between different groups and the mediation path. This study revealed that Internet use has a positive association with the subjective health of the population. The results of the heterogeneity analysis revealed that Internet use is more significantly associated with the health of non-agricultural workers and those with higher education levels than that of agricultural workers and those with lower education levels. Further analysis revealed that health behavior is an important mediator between Internet use and population health. These results remain robust even after using propensity score matching (PSM) to eliminate sample selection bias.

The role of the state in influencing work conditions in China's internet industry: Policy, evidence, and implications for industrial relations

While there is growing scholarly interest in work conditions in China's internet industry, many studies have focused exclusively on corporate employment relations strategies. By contrast, the article demonstrates the Chinese government's significant role in shaping the collective work experience in business reality. Drawing on three months of fieldwork in China, the findings suggest that the state's quest for technology supremacy has resulted in internet companies that compete ferociously, which in turn causes extreme working hours and burnout. The censorship of online labour activism and the ambiguity in court decisions also lower the interest of tech workers in organising and defending their labour rights. This study opens up an evidence-based debate on industrial relations in contemporary China and calls for more discussions on the state's role in shaping worker well-being and protection.

The Impact of the Internet on Industrial Green Productivity: Evidence from China

The expansion of the Internet has played a considerable role in improving industrial green development. This paper both analyzes how the development of the Internet affects Industrial Green Total Factor Productivity (IGTFP) and its mechanism of action, and, using the Dynamic Spatial Durbin Model (DSDM) and Chinese panel data, empirically investigates the impact and spatial spillover effect of the development of the Internet on IGTFP. The results show not only that the development of the Internet has a significant promoting effect on improvements to IGTFP in this region and the surrounding areas, but also that the long-term effect is greater than the short-term effect. The Mechanism test shows that Internet development can promote IGTFP through both the upgrading of industrial structure and technological innovation, with the intermediary effect of technological innovation obviously greater than that of industrial structure upgrading. The above research conclusions are still valid after performing a series of robustness tests, and provide empirical evidence for the implementation of the “Internet+” action plan and the popularization and application of the industrial Internet in China.

This article summarizes the classic digital transformation path for SMEs and explores new options and new opportunities for SMEs in the face of digital transformation under the industrial Internet model.

Basis for the formation of media anthropology in China (philosophical and anthropological analysis)

Due to the development of media resources, the influence of the Internet in China has led to significant changes in all spheres of life. As a result of the widespread use of media, we have witnessed changes in culture, lifestyles and individuals. Through analyzing the current media culture in China, we have concluded that the media has had a significant impact on education, democracy, aesthetics, literature, language and communication. Through media, human problems are exacerbated. Examples include, dependency on online media leading to the loss of subjectivity, excessive information without classification resulting in the “disappearance of childhood”, online media affecting the socialization of adolescents, etc. By examining media culture, we can say that a new philosophical orientation has been establishing in China, namely media anthropology, which focuses on the impact of media culture on people, both in virtual and real life. This is evidenced by the latest data from scientific publications. Turning to research in the field of philosophy, sociology, cultural studies, education and adding an ethnographic method, we analyzed the specifics of media culture in China and came to the following conclusions. First, the historicity and humanity of traditional culture have been transformed. Moreover, the value of culture has been disparaged due to the unconscious influence of online entertainment and the general commercial nature of network platforms. Second, people have accustomed themselves to communicating via online media in China. Yet this virtual communication eliminates the emotional component, leaving only instantaneous text input. Hence, by trying to maintain digital social contact, people have “fallen” into social dependence, and leading to exhaustion. Researchers have also noted that online reading is beginning to dominate over paper reading, especially for the younger generation. Because online media is extraordinarily complicated, mixed with images, colors, animation, and other elements, it distracts and prevents the reader from focusing on the content, as well as disrupting logical reading. Thus, under these new conditions of existence man’s issues are discussed under the direction of such philosophy as philosophical media anthropology.

Research on Financial Supervision Issues Related to the Ant Financial Event

With the rapid economic development and the continuous upgrading of financial innovation, there are many Internet companies in science and technology related to online loans. At the same time, many technology companies have also launched online loan businesses and even created a wide variety of loan products. As a focus of Internet financial enterprises, Ant Financial relies on payment business and scenario development to conduct comprehensive customer insights. It jointly lends with banks and financial institutions, forming a new type of microcredit on the Internet. Internet microcredit has played a positive role in liberalizing interest rates and developing finance. But it still carries various risks, such as credit risk and high leverage risk. The suspension of Ant Financial's listing has deeply affected the hearts of government regulators, the Internet finance industry, and related researchers and may profoundly change China's Internet finance. The Internet finance supervision issues involved are worth pondering. Taking Ant Financial as an example, this article analyzes the problems existing in the supervision of financial technology companies and makes reflections and suggestions.

"Living in a Post-Truth Era”: Theorising the Internet and Online Misinformation in Rural and Urban China

Strategic and financial analysis of Enterprises--Taking Tencent as an example

The birth of the Internet has brought great changes to people's production and life. China's Internet development has gone through more than 10 years, during which it experienced the initial stage of ignorance and rapid development. The subsequent economic bubble brought the Internet economy to a low level. After the baptism of the Internet economic bubble, the China Internet reopened its vitality and gradually moved toward the right track. Tencent and Chinese Internet companies have experienced the ups and downs of the Internet economy and become the leader of Chinese Internet enterprises after more than ten years of development. What on earth did Tencent achieve so much? What is the difference between its competitive strategy and other Internet companies? These are the problems that this paper attempts to study in depth.

Study on the Spatio-Temporal Evolution of China's Smart Water Co-Governance in G-E-P Mode.

Smart water co-governance (SWCG) is a fundamental driving force to reduce the water crisis and promote the sustainable development of water resources. To explore the applicability and development of SWCG in different regions, the authors of this paper took 31 provinces of China (with the exception Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) as research districts and used the three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) method to measure and compare the efficiency of smart water governance (SWG) in the government–enterprise–public (G–E–P) mode and without public participation in the government–enterprise (G–E) mode in 2019. Then, the Malmquist model was used to measure the spatio–temporal evolution of the G–E–P mode from 2010 to 2019, focusing on the analysis of the top ten provinces of the China Internet Development Index in 2019. According to the empirical analysis, the following results were obtained: (1) the efficiency of SWCG in the G–E–P mode was significantly higher than that in G–E model, as 13 provinces showed a significant decline and 10 provinces had a small change. In addition, SWCG in the G–E–P mode showed a good development trend in the eastern and southern regions. (2) The governance efficiency, pure technical efficiency, and scale efficiency showed upward trends, but the technological progress index and total factor productivity were still low. Therefore, SWG should vigorously promote public participation and the independent implementation of enterprises under the guidance and restriction of the government. Meanwhile, the construction of an SWG infrastructure and the level of science and technology should be strengthened. In addition, each province should adjust the input–output structure according to its redundancy or deficiency, weigh the suitability of the input level and scale, and strengthen the matching and support of the ability of multi-subjects and factors to ensure that an appropriate input–output scale level is reached and the efficiency of SWCG is improved.

Emergent nationalism in China's sociotechnical networks: How technological affordance and complexity amplify digital nationalism

AbstractNationalism today interacts in complicated ways with advanced information and communication systems, regularly leading to unanticipated consequences. Popular online nationalism in the People's Republic of China (PRC) is a case in point: In the PRC, digital nationalism has become a central feature of political discourse and decision‐making, at times powerfully shaping the state's policy efforts. This article explores a missing puzzle piece in how state‐led and popular nationalism interact in Chinese politics: the role that advanced information and communication technologies play in such processes. This is a question that is not only relevant to scholars of China but also to anyone interested in the role that digital media and communication play in the formation and spread of contemporary nationalism. How do interactions in complex sociotechnical systems affect nationalism today? To answer this question, the article analyses and traces interaction and feedback loops in Chinese digital environments during Sino‐Japanese disputes over the East China Sea. It shows how the interactions between humans, organisations and technologies create unexpected variations in outcome that resonate through China's internet and create the conditions from which digital nationalism can powerfully emerge to shape legitimation and policy‐making processes.

The impact of internet development on the health of Chinese residents: Transmission mechanisms and empirical tests

The development of internet information technology has promoted the integration of modern information technology with medical treatment. Chinese interprovincial panel data from 2006 to 2017 are used to study the impact of internet development on the health of Chinese residents. Specifically, this paper builds a system for evaluating four dimensions of internet development (internet popularity, internet infrastructure, internet information resources, and internet applications) and uses the entropy method to calculate and analyze China's internet development level. The OLS, FGLS and IV models are used to analyze the impact of internet development on the health of Chinese residents. The regional heterogeneity of the impact of internet development on the health of Chinese residents is studied in the three major regions, i.e., eastern, central and western China. The transmission mechanisms through which internet development affects residents' health were also investigated. Study results show that the development of the Internet significantly suppresses the mortality rate and improves residents' health. In addition, the development of the Internet can further reduce the mortality rate by promoting the development of science and technology, education, medicine, urbanization and openness.
