Abstract: The frequent occurrence of extreme weather events caused by global warming has made carbon neutrality a core strategy for countries to address climate change. As of 2024, over 130 countries and regions have set carbon neutrality targets. China has explicitly pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, and the European Union plans to do so by 2050. Against this backdrop, the coordinated advancement of "carbon source control" and "carbon sink enhancement" has become crucial, and technological innovation is the core driving force for overcoming emission reduction bottlenecks and promoting industrial transformation. Through literature analysis and empirical case studies, this article systematically explores the logic of the balance between carbon sources and carbon sinks under the global carbon neutrality strategy. It focuses on the technological pathways for carbon source reduction (energy, industry, and transportation) and carbon sink enhancement (natural and artificial). It summarizes low-carbon transformation models for energy-intensive industries and experiences in cultivating emerging low-carbon industries. Furthermore, it proposes countermeasures to address issues such as high technology costs and insufficient regional coordination. Research has found that achieving carbon neutrality through a single technological or industrial transformation is difficult. Instead, a coordinated system of "technological innovation, industrial upgrading, and policy support" is needed. By leveraging both carbon sources and carbon sinks, this system can drive the global low-carbon transition. This article can provide a reference for countries formulating carbon neutrality policies and for businesses implementing low-carbon practices, thereby contributing to the realization of global climate governance goals.

Abstract: This paper critically assesses the evidence for and against the existence of "filter bubbles"-a phenomenon where algorithmic personalization limits users’ exposure to diverse information. Drawing on theoretical discussions and empirical studies, the paper explores how user behavior, platform algorithms, and business models contribute to the formation of filter bubbles. While personalization can enhance user experience, it may also reinforce confirmation bias and lead to ideological homogeneity, particularly in political contexts. However, opposing views highlight the lack of consensus on definitions and insufficient empirical support for widespread filter bubble effects. The study concludes that although filter bubbles exist, their impact varies across platforms and users. Active user behavior and cross-platform engagement can mitigate negative consequences, suggesting that filter bubbles are not inevitable or irreversible. Read More

Abstract: As my country's new urbanization shifts toward high-quality development, urban renewal is shifting from "incremental expansion" to "improving existing resources," urgently requiring diversified driving forces. Sports events, with their agglomerative nature and radiative benefits, have become a crucial vehicle for activating urban renewal. However, existing research has insufficiently explored the "trickle-down process" by which event benefits permeate all aspects of urban renewal. This paper employs a literature review approach to define the core connotations and interconnected logic of sports events and urban renewal. It systematically analyzes the manifestation of the trickle-down effect across four dimensions: infrastructure, industrial structure, spatial function, and cultural identity. It identifies constraints such as insufficient planning foresight, imbalanced resource allocation, lack of coordinated action among stakeholders, and inadequate evaluation mechanisms. It then constructs a path to achieve this goal: "planning guidance - resource integration - collaborative governance - dynamic evaluation," complemented by supporting mechanisms including policies, funding, talent, and public participation. Research indicates that the trickle-down effect of sports events in promoting urban renewal is gradual, interconnected, and inclusive. Systematic design is needed to overcome barriers to benefit transmission and transform short-term event benefits into long-term urban renewal value, providing theoretical reference for high-quality urban development within the context of new urbanization.

Abstract: As an important mechanism for resolving disputes between investors and host states, the transparency and fairness of international investment arbitration are directly related to the credibility of its rulings and the healthy development of the international investment legal system. This article focuses on the lack of transparency and questions about fairness in investment arbitration proceedings. Through an in-depth analysis of typical arbitration cases, it reveals structural flaws in the current system regarding procedural openness, third-party participation, consistency of rulings, and arbitrator independence. The research shows that excessive confidentiality undermines the public's right to know and procedural oversight, while issues such as the arbitrator selection mechanism and inconsistent application of law erode the fairness of rulings. Although reform measures, such as the UNCITRAL Rules on Transparency, have achieved some success, deep-seated conflicts between investor rights and host state regulatory power, and between efficiency and fairness, remain prominent. As a major source of two-way investment, China should actively promote rule improvement, adopting comprehensive measures in areas such as domestic law integration, arbitrator training, and corporate compliance, to enhance its capacity to participate in international rule-making and contribute to building a more open, fair, and transparent international investment governance system.

Abstract: Subjectless sentences, a notable feature of Chinese, are prevalent in political texts but pose challenges in English translation due to a reliance on explicit subjects, potentially impeding cross-cultural communication. This study aims to explore effective translation strategies for such sentences in Chinese political texts, focusing on how to convey their meaning accurately while retaining the original stylistic features. Taking China’s Energy Transition White Paper (2024) (issued by the State Council Information Office) as the research object, it analyzes typical subjectless sentences and examines four key strategies: passivization, syntactic rephrasing, supplementation of logical subjects, and insertion of formal subjects. Findings show that context-adaptive strategy selection is critical for accurate rendering, enhancing the international readability of political texts. This study offers practical guidance for translators and enriches research on linguistic differences in political discourse translation. Read More

Abstract: Promoting farmers' common prosperity is one of the key tasks in solidly advancing the common prosperity of all people. As the core driving force for economic and social development and an advanced form of productive forces that conforms to the new development philosophy, the digital productive forces, a component of new-quality productive forces, empower farmers through digital technology and lay a solid material foundation for their common prosperity. Green productive forces provide sustainable impetus for farmers and enhance their spiritual prosperity. Collaborative productive forces optimize the division of labor and promote joint efforts of farmers in pursuing prosperity. Open productive forces facilitate the fair and efficient allocation of resources and enable farmers to share the fruits of prosperity. However, the process of new-quality productive forces driving farmers' common prosperity faces numerous challenges, such as the integration of agricultural digital technology, the green transformation of production modes, the integrated development of rural industries, and the allocation of agricultural production factors. To give full play to the role of new-quality productive forces and advance farmers' common prosperity, it is necessary to promote the in-depth integration of agricultural digital technology, accelerate the green transformation of agricultural production modes, strengthen the collaborative connection of agricultural industrial chains, and realize the efficient allocation of agricultural production factors.

Abstract: As globalization deepens, global governance is also rapidly adapting. The shortcomings of the previous model dominated by major powers are gradually being exposed, and the role of smaller countries is gradually coming into focus. Singapore, a Southeast Asian city-state, is a prime example-despite its small size and limited natural resources, it has leveraged its precise positioning and robust governance capabilities to achieve the "brilliance of a small country" in global governance. In promoting trade liberalization, it has helped ASEAN streamline its Free Trade Area cooperation; in addressing climate change, it has established clear emission reduction targets and implemented actions; and in areas such as regional security and public health, its pragmatic participation has consistently yielded tangible results.Singapore's ability to "achieve great results with small means" stems not from traditional power but from identifying the right roles: building strategic alliances to gather strength, focusing on specific issues to establish deep roots, and contributing expertise to partners. Put simply, it serves as a "rule-maker," "bridge coordinator," and "capacity builder," filling gaps in governance left by larger powers, fostering diverse collaboration, and providing a model for other small and medium-sized countries.Of course, shifting geopolitical dynamics and increasingly complex governance issues also present challenges for Singapore. However, its approach to dealing with challenges is quite practical for understanding the value of small countries in the current transformation of global governance. Read More

Abstract: In the context of globalization and technological innovation, the traditional education system is unable to meet the demand for highly skilled personnel in industrial upgrading, and apprenticeship has become an important way to connect education and employment. Since 2014, China has promoted the development of apprenticeships through a number of policies aimed at deepening cooperation between colleges and enterprises, optimizing the curriculum system and improving the quality of talent training. However, the current implementation still faces problems such as low participation of enterprises, lagging curriculum development, poor college-enterprise cooperation, complex student management and imperfect incentive mechanism. Through theoretical analysis, this paper discusses the operation logic of apprenticeship system from the four mechanisms of interest driving, communication and coordination, training realization and quality assurance, and emphasizes the necessity of balance and coordination of interests of multiple subjects. In view of the implementation path, it puts forward strategies such as optimizing policy support (such as funding guarantee, protection of students' rights and interests), strengthening the functions of industry associations (policy coordination, standard formulation), and deepening college-enterprise cooperation (joint management, curriculum construction, teacher training). The research holds that the government-led, industry supervision, college-enterprise collaboration and the institutionalized construction of progressive training mode are the key to the construction of high-quality apprenticeship system with Chinese characteristics, which can provide stable talent support for industrial transformation.
