Uncovering the key features of platinum metabolism in China during 2001–2022: A dynamic material flow analysis

Platinum is a critical mineral resource and has been called the “vitamin” of the technology industry as it is widely utilized in diverse fields such as automobiles, petroleum, chemicals, medicine, jewelry, and electronics. The demand for platinum is increasing, but its reserve is limited, especially in China, a major platinum user in the world. This study aims to track the platinum cycle in China for the period of 2001–2022 by employing dynamic material flow analysis so that the key features of platinum metabolism in China can be identified. Our results show that the total production of domestic platinum mining accounted for only 1.27% of the national platinum supply. China had to import platinum resource to meet with its increasing demand. The jewelry sector contributed the largest platinum consumption due to the preference of the Chinese consumers. There are two recycling routes for all the retired platinum-containing products, including both closed-loop and open-loop routes. Also, the total illegal imported platinum scraps reached 131.27 tons, accounting for 47.57% of the total open-loop recycled platinum. China's platinum in-use stocks increased from 44.23 tons in 2001 to 824.49 tons in 2022. As a result, the end-of-life platinum scraps increased from 0 tons in 2001 to 65.83 tons in 2022. In addition, China primarily imported platinum semi-finished products to meet its domestic demand, but mainly exported platinum scraps and finished products to other countries. Based on these research findings, policy recommendations are proposed by considering the Chinese realities, covering political, technological, and industrial cooperation dimensions. The results of this study provide valuable insights to those decision makers so that they can prepare more effective platinum resource policies.

Trade flows of Central Asian states within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization

Aim. To form a systematic understanding of the structure of trade of Central Asian states within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).Objectives. To analyze the commodity structure of trade flows and their geographical distribu- tion; to identify key characteristics of trade flow networks of Central Asian states within the SCO.Methods. Statistical analysis of the geographical, commodity, sectoral structure of exports and imports of goods, as well as the degree of their technological capacity.Results. It can be stated that there are practically no high-tech groups of goods among the significant commodity groups in the trade of Central Asian SCO member states with their part- ners in this organization. Moreover, to a large extent the growth of trade turnover of the countries is conditioned by the intensification of supplies of various raw materials to China (oil, ore, textile and agrarian raw materials). The pattern of “raw materials for raw materials” trade exchange often persists, especially between the Central Asian states proper; moreover, these countries are to a large extent competitors, as the commodity structure of their export flows largely coincides (in particular, in terms of raw materials and agrarian products). Conclusions. The current situation hampers the development of industrial cooperation between the SCO countries. The fact that the “One Belt - One Road” initiative is based on the established trade specializations of the countries may, on the one hand, “revive” trade relations in the region, on the other hand, consolidate the role of Central Asian states as suppliers of raw ma- terials for China.

MECHANISMS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL COOPERATION AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE OF THE REPUBLIC OF TATARSTAN AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF THEIR USE BY THE ENTITIES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

In a turbulent economic macro-environment, to ensure sustainable development of the state and its regions, classical commodity exchange operations are being reformatted both through changing basic partners, changing the geography of markets and product lines, and through intensifying the launch of new multinational production projects that make it possible to compensate for the loss of part of foreign supplies in the format of import substitution , generate innovative solutions based on synergy that become domestic intellectual property. The Republic of Tatarstan is one of the supporting regions of the Russian Federation, a leader in many macroeconomic indicators, investment attractiveness and quality of life. Its developments in the field of international relations and trade are analyzed from the standpoint of efficiency, features of the work of infrastructure elements, such as special economic zones, foreign representative offices, business missions, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Investment Development Agency, and the Export Support Center. Conclusions are drawn about the intensification of all types of cooperation with the People's Republic of China, countries of the Muslim world and with various countries of the EAEU and the CIS, indicating the determining role of the economic structure of all partners, including the presence of preferential regimes of interaction. If increasing global trade turnover is clearly a positive process, then the selection of international industrial cooperation projects should be accompanied by in-depth business analysis of the complementarity of the goals and capabilities of the countries participating in industrial cooperation. Another important conclusion is the need to analyze the potential of Russian regions to identify opportunities for scaling the experience of Tatarstan - the presence of a foundation of industrial cooperation that is mutually beneficial for all parties and infrastructure that ensures the effectiveness of international cooperation. Differences between the Russian and regional economy as its meso-level may lead to an unsuccessful attempt to scale the best practices of the Republic of Tatarstan. In this regard, it is proposed to create a system for connecting part of the regions of the Russian Federation to the channels of international cooperation created in the Republic of Tatarstan to enhance interaction primarily with partners from the countries of the Islamic world.

University- Creative Industry Linkages in Art and Design Higher Education: Insights From Indonesia and Taiwan

This article presents a study of the university-industry linkages in art and design higher education, focusing on the collaborative efforts between universities and the creative sector in Indonesia and Taiwan. Using a qualitative approach, in-depth interviews and literature reviews were conducted. An automated content analysis of seven semi-structured interviews with lecturers, designers, and the government stressed the importance of university and industry linkages. This study found that despite the prevalent practice of industrial cooperation with universities in the Indonesian higher education system, challenges persist in effectively connecting graduates with employment opportunities in the creative industry sectors. In response, the Indonesian government and universities have implemented policies to support collaboration programs to address these challenges. Conversely, Taiwan has recognized the potential of its creative industry assets to create a promising market and has placed significant value on the benefits derived from industry-university collaboration. Consequently, Taiwan has proactively developed its creative industries, receiving substantial encouragement and support from the local government.

Единая промышленная политика Союзного государства Белоруссии и России как инструмент обеспечения экономической безопасности

The issue of ensuring the economic security of the Union State and its industrial independence is a priority in the context of sanctions against Russia and Belarus, as well as outright economic pressure from Western countries. The assessment of the current level of economic security of the integration association based on three groups of indicators – the quality of life of the population, the state of foreign trade cooperation, the quality of industrial production and cooperation – revealed an insufficient level of development of industrial cooperation, investment, support for the introduction of R&D, high dependence on imports of goods of the machine-building complex, etc. In addition, the dynamics of the values of most indicators is negative, which indicates the need to develop new economic policy measures, including at the interstate level. The key condition for the self-sufficiency of the Union State in necessary goods, including high-tech ones, is the qualitative development of the industrial sector through active assistance from both state and supranational bodies. Measures taken at the interstate level should synergistically strengthen support at the State level. It is essential to understand the level of demand for critical goods (including raw materials and components for the production of new technological goods) and the necessary resources for the creation and development of their production facilities on the territory of the Union State (including scientific developments, technologies and human resources).

The impact of globalized knowledge dissemination and U.S. intellectual hegemony on Taiwan

The phenomenon of globalization has contributed to the spread of knowledge. The earliest economic globalization was related to international trade, and the industrial revolution at the beginning of the twentieth century contributed to the later development of international trade. Post-war globalization became dominated by the United States, whose strong political, economic, and military power sustained the hegemonic realist demand for globalization hegemony to prevail in the world. The Hegemonic Stability Theory (HST), the world system, the Bretton Woods system, neoliberalism, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the WTO, and multinational corporations, all of these concepts play an important role in the dissemination of knowledge in the context of globalization, and they also provide room for theoretical explanations and legitimate ways for the US to promote hegemony later on. Hegemony has a profound impact on the development of developing countries. In Taiwan in East Asia, the U.S. has had a long and profound impact on it, from economic and military assistance, to economic and industrial cooperation, to knowledge and cultural exchanges, the U.S. has successfully accomplished the social transformation of Taiwan, and has successfully used knowledge hegemony to control Taiwan’s way of knowledge production and dissemination.

Авіаційна та космічна галузі в постіндустріальному розвитку

The article raises the issue of the relevance of the development of international cooperation in the aerospace industry, taking into account the trends of post-industrial society, the development of artificial intelligence, and the transformation of the world society. It is specified that one of the key indicators of the transition from an industrial to a post-industrial society is the active development of the service sector and the importance of education and the knowledge economy, which come to the fore. The economy of post-industrial societies is dominated by innovative sectors such as high-performance industries, high-quality and innovative services as a share of GDP, and a larger share of the population employed in the service sector than in industrial production. A country with a highly developed aerospace industry demonstrates its national strength, scientific and technological innovation, effective public policy, strategic vision and principles of national security. At the international level, the leading countries of the world have identified the coordination of space activities and the development of aerospace industry as a priority of the national level. Ukraine has a complete space complex (rockets, spacecraft, ground control centers, data processing centers) and most aviation platforms (reusable spacecraft, some passenger aircraft, military transport, transport-only), has the potential for construction, research and development, can organize the production, operation and use of the rocket, space and aviation technology. The aviation industry and the space industry outline the long-term prospects for the development of the country’s economy. In terms of development, the aerospace industry is ahead of other industries and plays a vital role in modern civilization. The development of the aviation industry is urgent for Ukraine, including the development of ground airport infrastructure, air transport and a combination of ground and air transport.

Italy's position in European defence integration

Brussels favours the eventual creation of a common European defence market. Rome favours simultaneous European defence integration and a permanent relationship with US and British companies (due to the strong Anglo-Saxon industrial ties of major Italian companies), but is concerned that excessive use of "off-the-shelf" solutions will undermine the European Defence Technology and Industrial Base (EDITB) due to the "lock-in" effect. Rome's aim is to promote defence cooperation with the EU, benefiting itself, while at the same time preventing EU initiatives from damaging Italian industrial cooperation ties with third countries such as the US, UK.

Vladivostok in interregional cooperation: problems and prospects

This article examines the features and main problems of Vladivostok as a large city in the Russian Far East and an important hub connecting Russia and China. The Russian Far East is a vast region rich in resources and focused on the vast market of the Asia-Pacific region. However, in recent years, a number of reasons have weakened the basis for the development of a comprehensive strategic partnership between Russia and China. After the start of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in 2022, Russia actively "looks to the east" and creates a model of economic development focused on the Asia-Pacific region. The Chinese initiative "One Belt, One Road" and the strategy of comprehensive openness have created conditions for the development of cooperation between the Northeast of China and the Russian Far East. In order to promote the accelerated development of the Far East, Russia is actively creating cities with advanced socio-economic development and hopes to improve business conditions in the Far East through a number of measures such as: improving infrastructure, providing tax incentives and simplifying administrative procedures in order to increase its investment attractiveness, increase employment and contribute to the economic development of the region, which will lead to the rise of the entire national economy. The following methods of scientific research were used in the work: the method of analysis and synthesis; generalized method; classification method; specific method; systematic method; phenomenological method. The main conclusions of the study are that in the overall strategic context of the modern world, China and Russia should gradually strengthen their complementary advantages and local industrial cooperation between the two countries. Vladivostok, as the fastest growing city in the Far East, has a great influence on regional cooperation between Russia and China. China has always been Russia's largest partner in the Far East in terms of bilateral trade, foreign investment and financial participation in recent years, so how to make rational use of Vladivostok's advantages and how to solve Vladivostok's current problems (for example, transport problems, demographic problems and the investment market for enterprises of the two sides) is the way to achieve the common development of both countries.

Research on Supply Chain Network Optimization under Cross-border Industrial Cooperation Model Based on Dual Carbon Objectives

Abstract Under the background of economic globalization, green supply chain management has become a key strategic management tool for enterprises to improve their competitiveness as well as sustainable development. This paper proposes the objective function and constraints in supply chain network optimization based on the policies related to the dual-carbon target and the requirements in the cross-border industrial cooperation model and uses the robust model to solve and realize the establishment of the supply chain network optimization model. The simulation test found that the solving efficiency of this model and the control of carbon emissions are better than the traditional genetic algorithm. Meanwhile, after the optimization of this model, the supplier delivery rate of cross-border enterprise Y can reach 91.28%, which is far beyond the target expectation, and the carbon emission of the enterprise is far below the carbon emission limit, so the green cross-border supply chain network can be realized. The model in this paper can improve the weak link in the green management decision of cross-border supply chain network, strengthen the application of a robust model in the design and optimization of cross-border supply chain network, and provide auxiliary decision-making support for the construction of cross-border supply chain network scientifically and effectively.

절충교역 관점에서 본 한국의 방위산업 및 무기체계 국제거래 현황과 과제

South Korea has established the base for self-reliant defense and grown into an emerging defense exporter in 40 years since it first introduced a offset trade system in 1983, and aims to become the world's fourth-largest defense exporter by 2027. The purpose of this study is to draw implications for the development of Korea's defense industry and the expansion of defense exports from the perspective of offset trade. To this end, (1) the development process and status of Korea's defense industry were examined based on recent statistical data, and (2) the status of Korea's overseas purchase of weapons systems and defense exports were examined. Also, (3) after examining the current status of Korea's offset trade system, implications for the development of defense industry and the expansion of defense exports were drawn. In import offset trade, it is necessary to re-apply offset trade obligation to overseas purchase through FMS from the U.S.A., settle down the banking system, expand the offset value multiplier for SMEs, and strengthen the industrial cooperation quota system. In export offset trade, it needs to establish a cooperation system between government ministries by a strong control tower, form a consortium of government-defense companies for a proactive response system, introduce a mandatory reporting system for export offset trade, expand the policy support for defense export such as trade finance, and introduce a value offset system (SWAP).
