Analysis of traditional Chinese medicine communication on local researches in Australia from 2012 to 2017

This paper analyses the Australian native researches on nonexperimental literature published in 2012-2017 about traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in Australia. The databases Springer Link, PubMed, Science Direct and the Elsevier database was for the retrieval for contents about the process of transmission of TCM. The communication subject, object and channels, the literature from the unit and the periodical information were abstracted and analyzed. A total of 62 articles were included, which covers 26 journals and 21 working units, 15 papers of communicate subject, 18 communication channels, 29 communication audiences. The research units and communication channels of TCM were constantly diversified, and communication subject and object of TCM also presented the trend of localization. However, the all aspects of communication are limited to specific fields, and high-quality communication and cooperation need to be improved. Key words: Traditional Chinese medicine; Australia; Communication; Medicine pharmacologic literature (TCM); Communications Media; International cooperation; Bibliometrics

Comparative analysis of Chinese and Japanese corporate communication on Facebook and Twitter

Social networking sites (SNS) have become an important vehicle for corporate communication. However, there has been little research on how East Asian firms use international SNSs to communicate with global stakeholders. This study compares the communication strategies of Chinese and Japanese companies on Facebook and Twitter and analyzes the public responses and complaints on these corporate SNSs. The results revealed that in addition to the traditional strategies of corporate ability (CA) and corporate social responsibility (CSR), Chinese and Japanese firms adopted the human interest (HI) strategy. The results showed that the Chinese companies in the study sample had a stronger preference for the CSR and interactive strategies, and they responded faster to online complaints compared with the Japanese firms, which were more likely to adopt the strategy of transferring in handling complaints. Moreover, “inviting participation into events” and “seeking specific feedback” were two types of interactive messages that received the highest numbers of responses from the public on Facebook, whereas “promoting sales” showed the highest engagement on Twitter. This study is the first to compare the effectiveness of different corporate response strategies for specific complaint topics on social media. Thus, it contributes to the literature on stakeholder–company interactions.

Indirect couple communication and relationship satisfaction in Chinese, Western, and Chinese-Western intercultural couples.

Relative to Westerners, Chinese are alleged to prefer more indirect, subtle, and implicit communication, referred to as high-context communication. We examined whether the use of indirect communication is more common, and more closely related to relationship satisfaction, in Chinese compared with Western couples. Cultural differences in communication might lead to relationship distress in intercultural couples, so we also studied intercultural couples. We coded the observed marital problem-solving of n = 36 Chinese couples, n = 32 Western couples, and n = 51 intercultural Chinese- Western couples, all of whom were living in Brisbane, Australia. There were low rates of most indirect communication behaviors in all groups of couples, with few cultural differences other than avoidance, which was notably higher in couples in which the woman was Chinese. Only a few associations of relationship satisfaction with aspects of indirect communication were moderated by culture. The common view of Chinese communication (as being indirect and implicit) was not reflected in the couple communication of Chinese couples living in Australia.

Read from Local to Global: A Culture-based Reading Material

Chinese language has risen to become the world popular language among the foreign language learners. According to the recent data, 516 Confucius Institutes and 1076 Confucius Classroom established all over the world, with more than 100 million foreign students enrolled, especially 48 Confucius Institutes are distributing in 33 Africa countries, to provide the scope for people to learn Chinese language and culture. This paper is based on the previous experts’ call that teaching language in 21 st century needs to be involved with cultural awareness in concerning both regional and global societies, in order to enhance learners’ the fifth skill of the language learning. This paper aims to use the local culture to facilitate a reading content to promote students’ Chinese communication skills. The use of local culture contents is one of the effective ways to stimulate students’ motivation in language class. Under the guidance of Chinese Language Proficiency Scales for Speakers of Other Language and International Curriculum for Chinese Language Education , 12 units of Ethiopian cultures, landscapes, beliefs, customs, arts and festivals that were incorporated in the reading materials are identified. The demonstration samples of the model units will be shown so as to culturally value reading materials to any other Chinese language learners. This new orchestrated material will undoubtedly can encourage learners to gain a deeper understanding of their own culture and to share these insights in Chinese to any others as well as more effectively in learning a global language. Moreover, this material also can enlighten an idea to apply to some other reading contexts for Africa countries.

The communication patterns of Chinese students with their lecturers in an Australian university

Chinese students are now the largest group of international students in the Australian higher education sector. The patterns of Chinese communication and education affect the ways that Chinese students engage with their lecturers and manage their learning relationships. A case study of these patterns provides a small window through which to observe the progress of higher education internationalisation in Australia. In this study, the experiences of seven Chinese students in a multicultural educational context are explored, with a focus on their communication practices and relationships with their lecturers in Australia. This paper contributes to understandings of how student–teacher communication practices affect learning experiences for Chinese students in Australian or other international universities.

Chinese Communication Studies: Three Paths Converging

This contribution presents the possibilities for anthropological and neo-Marxist media within the hugely expanding sector of Chinese communication studies. China has sourced mostly from the American positivist tradition but is increasingly ­taking on board European critical thinking but it also needs to absorb some of the depth and diversity of indigenous scholarship existing in Chinese.Jia, Lu, and Heisey (2002) presented an influential meta-analysis of every ­example of communication studies in China at that time. The book chapter which talks about the rise of the discipline and scholarship of Chinese communication as an academic discipline (Jia et al., 2014) summarises some of Chinese language scholarship in Chinese and called for the creation of a humanistic tradition of Chinese and East Asia communication studies informed by indigenous perspectives and China’s rich repertoire and vocabulary of concepts– face, guanxi or relations, goutong, harmony, and personhood etc.Concluding that there is a need for all parties to do research on journalism and ­communication/ media in Asia, (particularly in China) from an anthropological ­perspective, this contribution argues that Asian scholars have a responsibility to create Asian approaches to communication and media studies. The effects of global neoliberalism is now being followed by a government response in China ­characterised in part by anti-corruption campaigns and a revival in Marxist approaches. A version of media studies that takes on board all the three elements would find fertile ground in the long run, supporting a more egalitarian and just China.

Коммуникативные ценности гармоничного общения (по данным русской и китайской фразеологии)

The article is devoted to the linguocultural analysis of communicative values of harmonious communication presented in Russian phraseology and seen against the background of the Chinese communication culture. The relevance of the study is determined by increased conflictness in modern communications and the need to reflect national cultural traditions of communication. The material for the study are collocations with the meaning of “communicative behaviour,” extracted by the method of continuous sampling from the Russian and Chinese phraseological dictionaries (over 300 units). Phraseological units contain specific requirements prescribing the necessary communicative behaviour of addresser and addressee, who are equally responsible for the development and successful completion of the communicative interaction. The author identified the linguistic means characterizing a harmonious communication (evaluative adjectives, comparisons, direct prescriptions). Based on linguoculturological interpretation of phraseology, the author defines prescriptive standards and values for harmonious communication in Russian culture - politeness, sincerity, absence of conflict. The results of comparative analysis of the maxims of benevolence, sincerity and tolerance are presented. Similarities of the communicative requirements of the Russian and Chinese cultures are shown. The author dwells on the specific qualities of sincerity and truthfulness, determined by the Russian mentality. Special attention is paid to restraining communicative actions hindering the communication process, which are registered in the national phraseology. It is proved that a harmonious communicative behaviour is governed by the rules of speech etiquette, based on the norms of morality and national cultural traditions.

British Cryptanalysis and China, 1937–1945: An Underused Source for Recent Chinese History?

This article discusses British cryptanalysis of Chinese diplomatic traffic, and of the diplomatic traffic of other states such as Japan and Afghanistan regarding China, between 1937 and 1945. The records are in the British National Archives HW12 series, which has not been thoroughly exploited by historians due to inadequate cataloging. The article shows how British and American views on the failings of Chinese communications security, which led to much-resented restrictions on Chinese diplomatic reportage and a general reluctance to share high-level information with China, were informed partly by the extent of Japanese mastery of Chinese traffic, which was in turn disclosed through British and American successes against Japanese communications. Finally, Chinese and Japanese efforts to court Muslim opinion internationally are discussed to illustrate how material in HW12 can make a useful contribution to the study of diplomacy and intrigue during the Second Sino-Japanese War.

China y medios de comunicación. L'ecosistema comunicatiu xinès: des del quiosc al panòpticon digital

The observation of the specific features of the Chinese communication landscape in the fields of the written press, television and networks reveals a scenario mearked by the paradoxes of the Chinese system, where a market economy with a strong state component coexists, with a Political regime of the Unique Party, in state capitalism or market socialism. This singularity of the Chinese model is reflected in a communication area marked by variable margins of plurality, with an arc of tension between the logic of the business and the political value, with constantly renegotiated borders between society, the profession and the controlling limits imposed. It is a complex process, which is not defined in black and white, with a very strong evolution and dynamism since the end of the seventies.

Zakrytye temy v lingvokulturakh: tozhdestvo v forme mnogoobraziya

The present article deals with the meaningful and functional characteristics of the closed topics, that are the topics which are thought to be improper (taboo), and they are blocked in Russian, English and Chinese communication in a variety of ways. Their characteristics have not received a proper description in scientific works; therefore the study, based on the methods of semantic and communicative analysis, survey and comparison of the communication ways in different languages, aimed at filling the gap in probative identification of a list of closed topics, seems to be a current matter of interest. The authors use the term closedness and view it as an indicator of topic’s irrelevance that manifests itself with various language means. The article demonstrates the presence of a commonly shared list of closed topics in the above mentioned cultures. The possibility of reference to such topics in conversation is regulated by communication format, purpose and the degree of contact’s intimacy.The strategies of closed topic avoidance are marked with semantic replacement called mitigation and euphemism substitution. The study results ascertain that the closed topic list is shared by the Russian, English and Chinese cultures, but points to some differences in the way the conversations go. In conclusion the authors give a wide range of applications: from theoretical constructs that describe the mechanism of communication processes flow to the specific recommendations for optimizing communication in different spheres of human interaction.

A content analysis of research on China in top-ranked communication journals from 1995 to 2014: a comparison with other Asian countries

ABSTRACTScholars have recently turned their attention to China with its rapidly growing economic power. This present study analyzes and compares communication research on China in 14 top-ranked journals over the past 20 years. Our analysis reveals patterns, trends, and gaps in communication research on China during this period. The results indicate that China has received more scholarly attention with publication numbers increasing from 4 articles in 1995 to 13 articles in 2014. China is the most-researched East Asian country. Its research article numbers are twice that of the second-most-researched country, South Korea. China’s political system was the most-used rationale in the research articles. More China-focused studies used a critical/interpretative approach and fewer used mixed approaches compared to research on other Asian countries. As a first-of-its-kind study, our findings offer needed guidance for future research on Chinese communication.

Road to international publications: an empirical study of Chinese communication scholars

ABSTRACTThis paper examines factors motivating Chinese communication scholars to publish in international journals and how these factors shape their knowledge production. We also investigate these scholars’ treatment of particularity, which is central to debates on Asian approaches to communication scholarship. Based on in-depth interviews with 22 Chinese communication scholars, this study finds that Chinese scholars choose to publish overseas both as a result of institutional incentives and an attempt to relieve themselves from institutional and sociopolitical constraints in China. While promoting international publications, these institutional and sociopolitical factors also markedly influence the knowledge production process, leading to the segregation of international and local knowledge production; scholars’ active self-censorship; and their efforts to subject to perceived international biases. The study also demonstrates that while adopting an eclectic and pragmatic attitude toward particularity, Chinese communication scholars are generally cautious of advocating particularity. The attitudinal and behavioral eclecticism and institutional and sociopolitical constraints jointly result in a fragmented particularity in the international publication of Chinese communication scholars. The findings’ implications for Asian approaches to communication studies are discussed.

Struggling to Thrive: The Impact of Chinese Language Assessments on Social Mobility of Hong Kong Ethnic Minority Youth

The paper explores how the policy of alternative Chinese qualifications policy affects ethnic minorities’ (EM) social mobility, and how such multi-exit assessment framework affects Chinese as a second language learning and teaching in Hong Kong. Chinese language (CL) qualifications other than the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) have been accepted by the University Grants Committee-funded institutions in Hong Kong as university admission requirements, including General Certificate of Secondary Education, International General Certificate of Secondary Education, and General Certificate of Education. These international qualifications are oftentimes considered lower-level non-equivalents to HKDSE in the job market. Even high achievers in these examinations are criticized by local employers as less-than-competent in workplace Chinese communication. Moreover, civil service jobs traditionally popular among EM require a Level 2 in HKDSE or specific government tests, which “implied” the said alternative qualifications as insufficient for career advancement. CL teachers and EM students are thus torn between the manageable alternative qualifications to improve university admission chances, or the difficult HKDSE examination as well for better career opportunities, which reduce their chance of upward mobility. Through triangulation of interview data from an EM focus group (N = 8, all female), relevant surveys, and government documents, the authors argue that EM students’ academic advancement is highly related to their CL proficiency, and alternative qualifications do not necessarily suffice to improve their social mobility. The paper also looks into the policy’s implicated challenges for curriculum planning and design faced by CL teachers, and recommend that policy reviews be carried out based on recent demographic shifts and classroom realities to better equip EM students’ CL proficiency, so as to increase their employability, smoother social integration into Hong Kong society, and to resolve the intergenerational poverty.

Understanding the size and spread of Chinese NGO networks: capacity and board affiliations

In recent years, the amount of research on digital inter-organizational networks among Chinese non-governmental organizations (NGOs) has increased greatly. However, few studies have examined the offline networks of Chinese NGOs. To fill this gap, the present study investigates the size and spread of offline Chinese NGO networks. In particular, we examine two competing hypotheses: the influence of organizational capacity and the influence of board affiliations as guanxi on the size and spread of the ego-centric networks of NGOs. To test our hypotheses, we conducted surveys among 119 Chinese NGOs. The results of the ordinary least squares regression supported our guanxi hypothesis: the number of organizational affiliations that the members of a board of directors have was positively related to the size of Chinese NGO networks, controlling for geographic region, social issue area, age, and revenue of the NGOs. In addition, as guanxi, board affiliations influenced the spread of NGO networks via the size of NGO networks. This study contributes to the research on Chinese inter-organizational communication networks in general and to Chinese NGO offline networks, NGO capacity, and guanxi culture in particular.
