China's cultural diplomacy is mostly understood as an endeavour to build and project soft power, which draws on three sources of 'culture, political values and foreign policy' according to Nye. This paper focuses on the debates about the vehicle and agents of China's cultural diplomacy. It starts with a theoretical discussion of the competing views in the Chinese context, and develops an argument that the vehicle of China's cultural diplomacy tries to project soft power on two wheels of culture and political values, to serve the purpose of reshaping China's image away from being the 'cultural other' and 'ideological other' respectively. However, the state-led approach to driving this vehicle is generating some side effects with its sponsorship, censorship and presence in the driver's seat. Then the paper analyses the inherent tensions existing in practice both between the two sources of building soft power and between the two means of doing so, attraction and persuasion, with empirical evidence through a comparative case study of the Confucius Institutes in the US and South Korea. The finding shows that China's attempt at reshaping its image as an Eastern cultural contestant is often disrupted by its authoritarian political values, and the state-led persuasion is often reducing China's cultural attraction. Following this, the paper finishes with some recommendations regarding evolving the cultural diplomacy approach from a vertical one that is government-centred to a horizontal one that is network-based with multiple agents, and localising its practice by engaging the target audiences as stakeholders.

It is a complex project to construct the standard system of sports events. Sports events standard system covers from the implementation plan to the evaluation work after the smooth implementation of sports events, involving many links. Large-scale sports events have extremely high media value. However, the successful organization and operation of large-scale sports events face many problems to be overcome, especially in terms of event safety. Although the organizers and organizers of large-scale events have invested many resources for the safe holding of sports events, violence similar to "football hooligans" in Europe is endless. At present, compared with Western countries, the standardization of sports events in China is low, and there is a problem of a late start and huge difference with Western developed countries. Knowing the construction of the standardization system's situation in China, we have summarized the data related to 15 sports events held in Chengdu is the last 5 years. By analyzing the problems in the process of holding these 15 events and the reflections of participants on the experience of sports events, the problems in the development of the standard system of sports events are discussed in depth. The final conclusion is that the system structure of China's sports events is not so good and athletes have a poor experience. China's sports event system still has many problems. Finally, we built a sports event standardization model using Internet of Things, and after a practical test we found that it has a good effect. Finally, we combined the current situation of sports event standardization system in China and put forward the following suggestions: laws and regulations related to the standard system of sports events must be formulated at the national level. The implementation level must strengthen the degree of integration of sports events and technology. To improve the quality of human resources in the management of sports events. The article puts forward targeted solutions, which play a great role in promoting the perfection and completeness of China's standard system for sports events. At the same time, it also promotes economic development and improves China's international status.

I.M. Pei, 2nd generation Chinese immigrant to America, has been one of the most recognized architects who designs museum architecture through out the world for completing significant projects such as the East Building of National Gallery of Art(1068-78) as well as Le Grand Louvre Renovation(1983-89) to name a few. His museum architecture, in particular, reveals his detailed consideration on viewer's artistic experience by providing well balanced architecture design to support exhibiting objects while showing his sensitivity on overall functionality of space. In recent projects such as Miho Museum in Japan, Suzhou Museum of China, and Museum of Islamic Art of Qatar, reveals his growing interests in considering "local context" in museum architecture. Therefore, the purpose of this study is focused on analyzing I.M. Pei's three museum projects having its concept focused on local context. Through out the paper, above mentioned museums were analyzed and compared to summarize his design characters and concept including site plan, spatial organization and architectural form. As a result, it is evident that I.M. Pei had put full effort to apply oriental context with modernism through out his museums. In particular, his site plan, spatial organization, and architectural form shows visible connection to comply with nature which is fundamental idea in oriental philosophy. While his basic design philosophy has been borrowed from the tradition, his ultimate design concept shows nature friendliness as well as theoretical system of thoughts and emotion and most of all, his design excellency in representing local context.

본 논문은 한중 양국의 FDI 관련 현황과 정책적 강약점을 파악하고 이를 통해 중국자본 유치전략에서 요구되는 기본적 전제조건을 검토함으로써 향후 중국자본 유치에 도움이 되는 정책방향을 모색하는 데에 연구목적을 둔다. 연구결과 도출된 주요 전제조건들을 제시하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한중간 경제관계는 상호보완적이고도 협력적인 수준에 크게 미흡한 상태이므로 무조건적 경쟁관계로 발전할 수 있는 위협요인들을 미리 제거하고, 양국간 신뢰관계를 확대해 나가야 한다. 둘째, 적어도 중국의 입장에서 보면 한국은 매력적인 투자처가 되지 못하고 있다. 최근 발효된 한미FTA 등 한국의 FTA 확대 기회를 적극 활용할 필요가 있다. 셋째, 한국을 대신하는 중국의 대체투자처는 항상 존재하고 있으므로, 투자종목이나 투자규모, 투자방식 등 중국자본 유치에 관련된 투자 협상력은 상당 부분 중국측이 가지고 있다는 사실을 간과하지 말아야 할 것이다. 넷째, 한국의 FDI 정책이 기존의 정책적 프레임 속에 갇혀 규칙 파괴자(rule breaker)의 기능을 발휘하지 못한다면 중국자본 유치는 노력에 비해 성과를 기대하기 어려울 것이다. 다섯째, 중국을 과대평가하거나 중국자본의 힘을 맹신하는 상황에서 중국자본 유치 노력을 경주하다가는 외형적 투자 또는 부실투자로 이어져 예기하지 못한 국가적 손실을 초래할 수 있다는 점에 유의해야 한다.

Purpose - This study examines the influencing factors of China's cross-border e-commerce exports in the context of the current situation and trends of China's cross-border e-commerce development. Through an improved trade gravity model, it provides more in-depth research and constructive opinions on the development of cross-border e-commerce in China. In this paper, factors such as consumption gap, volume of trade frictions, number of tourists, Internet usage and trade openness are added to the formula of the traditional trade gravity model in the improved trade gravity model to examine the influencing factors on China's cross-border e-commerce exports. Design/methodology - According to the empirical analysis, China's cross-border e-commerce exports to ten countries are used as dependent variables, and consumption gap, trade friction volume, trade distance, trade openness and number of Internet users are taken as independent variables. Regression analysis is conducted through a modified gravity model to test whether the hypotheses hold. Findings - The analysis shows that the hypothesis that China's cross-border e-commerce exports are influenced by trade openness, trade distance, consumption gap between trade parties, and the number of Internet users in the importing country is supported by these four hypotheses, but not all independent variables have an impact on them. Specifically, the number of travelers, trade frictions do not have an impact on China's cross-border e-commerce. That is to say, trade friction between China and the United States and political issues such as China-India and China-Japan territorial disputes that emerged before do not affect the development of cross-border e-commerce in China. Originality/value - The analysis shows that the factors influencing China's cross-border e-commerce exports are the trade openness of the importing country, the trade distance, the number of Internet users in the importing country, and the consumption gap between the two sides of the trade. The trade openness and the number of Internet users positively contribute to China's cross-border e-commerce, while the consumption gap and trade distance are negatively related to them. And the analysis found that the Sino-US trade war and the Sino-Indian territorial disputes and other trade frictions to China's cross-border e-commerce exports did not have a substantial impact.

1990년대 초반 나선특구 지정을 시작으로 추진한 북한의 경제특구 개발전략이 아직까지 이렇다 할 성과를 내고 있지 못한 이유는 무엇인가? 북한은 중국 베트남의 '점진적' 개혁 개방 또는 경제개발에 성공할 수 있을 것인가? 그러기 위한 조건은 무엇인가? 이 연구는 중국, 베트남, 북한의 경제특구 사례를 '맥락과 목적', '개발 관리제도', '입지와 인프라 공급'의 범주에서 비교 평가하였다. 사례비교 결과 북한의 경제특구 전략은 먼저 역사적 맥락과 추진 목적 측면에서 중국 베트남과 차이를 보이고 있다. 중국, 베트남과 마찬가지로 외자유치를 목적으로 하였지만, 북한의 경제특구는 '경제개혁(또는 시장도입) 없는 개방'이어서 중국과 베트남의 경제특구가 가지는 '국가경제 전반의 개혁을 목표로 한 테스트베드로서 개방'과 그 성격을 달리한다. 이러한 차이가 소극적인 분권화 수준과 입지선택으로 귀결되었으며, 상대적으로 토지제도와 세제혜택 등에서 중국, 베트남과 비교해 불리하지 않았음에도 불구하고 북한 경제특구 전략이 성과를 내지 못하였다. 사례비교를 통해 도출한 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 북한의 경제특구 전략이 성공하기 위해서는 먼저 포괄적이고 장기적인 경제개발 계획 하에 경제특구 전략을 배치하여야 한다. 그것의 실내용은 외부 경제체제와 호환되는 '신뢰할 수 있는 시장경제'의 확대가 되어야 한다. 이를 위해 북한은 정치 외교적 차원에서 체제안정을 확보해야 할 것이며, 역으로 그것이 외부에서 북한의 개방과 협력을 이끌어 내기 위한 조건이 될 것이다. 둘째, 개발관리체계에서 분권화와 입지선택에서 더 과감한 시도를 해야 한다. 대도시 또는 외부와 연계가 용이한 지역의 노동력과 인프라를 활용하는 전략, 분권화를 통해 창조적인 제도 실험이 가능하게 하는 시도가 필요하다. 셋째, 인프라건설자본 부족을 해결하기 위해 BOT 방식 등을 적극 도입할 필요가 있다.

Leaving the legacies of the Cold War and other difficulties behind them, South Korea and China are building up their successful strategic cooperative partnership, moving forward toward through the development of new economic exchanges and diplomatic cooperation between the two countries, and this process is expected to gain momentum during 2015. 2015 is the third year since President Park of South Korea and President Xi of China came into office, and also the first year they have begun to implement the many declarations and promises which they have made within the context of the strategic cooperative partnership. The two nations share a common cultural heritage, and their governments should take this opportunity to leverage their partnership to enhance their economies and to improve their people's quality of life, especially for the younger generation. At a summit held in July 2014, the two leaders agreed to launch a working-level group on maritime boundary delimitation. The first meeting took place on January 29, 2015, and addressed issues of Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) and continental shelves in the Yellow Sea, which has an area of about 380,000 ㎢. It is greatly to be hoped that the 2015 maritime boundary delimitation meeting between South Korea and China will not impair the future of bilateral relations, but rather will improve their prospects. South Korea and China must take the opportunity to secure a definitive delimitation of their maritime boundary; their strategic cooperative partnership is in good order and China is currently taking a somewhat more flexible stance on the ECS and the SCS, so an agreement on boundaries will serve as a useful model for regional maritime cooperation.

21세기 들어와서 물류기업간의 경쟁이 날로 격화되고 있다. 이에 따라 물류비 절감, 고객 서비스의 향상, 정보통신기술의 활용 등 여러 요인에서 상대적인 경쟁우위를 확보하기 위한 노력을 경주하고 있다. 중국은 WTO 가입 후 물류산업분야에도 많은 발전이 있었지만, 아직도 다른 나라에 비해 GDP 대비 물류비의 비중이 높아 중국 경제에 부담으로 작용하고 있는 실정이다. 제4자 물류기업은 한정된 경영자원을 핵심역량에 투입하고 비 핵심활동인 물류활동은 전문물류업체에 아웃소싱을 하게 되었으며 물류 아웃소싱이 확대되면서 물류의 중요성이 대두되게 되었고 그에 따라 물류의 수요 또한 증대되게 되었다. 따라서 중국에서 제4자 물류는 많은 장점에도 불구하고 정부와 기업들의 문제로 본질적인 한계점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문의 연구 목적은 중국 제4자 물류에 대해 중국정부와 중국물류산업의 문제점을 제시하고 중국에서 제4자 물류를 도입하기 위한 기업 및 중국정부 차원의 해결방안을 제시함으로써 중국에서 제4자 물류의 발전에 기여하고 한국 제4자 물류기업의 중국진출을 촉진시키는 것이다.

The banking sector is one of the most important sectors in Pakistan's struggling economy. Recent studies have recommended that suitable methods can be applied to predict bankruptcy. In this context, this work analyzes Pakistan's banking sector's financial status through the five-factor Altman Z-score model, which determines the probability of bankruptcy for an organization. Banking data has been collected through the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) in the period 2013-2017. The Z-score assessment criteria is defined as: Z> 2.99 - "safe" zone; Z> 1.8 Z>2.98- "grey" zone; and Z <1.8 - "distress" zone. Results show good predictions for the local banking industry, while most foreign Pakistani banks were found bankrupt with the Z-score below 1.1. One of the financial risks investors face when investing in any company is the risk of bankruptcy. One of the most used models for predicting financial distress for any company is Altman's Z-score model. On the other hand, the Z-score analysis suggests that all banking establishments are not bankrupt because they have sufficient ability to control bankruptcy. At the same time, foreign banks failed financially and would not be able to be sustained in the future because they do not have the ability to pay the short-term and long-term debt.
