“…Some scholars believe that the policy liberated a large number of young labor force from the constraints of land and family. The labor force in rural areas has been transformed into a low-cost labor force in urban areas, becoming the core engine of the country's economic prosperity [3].…”

Employment is a historical issue that occurs at a specific stage in the process of modernization. According to Marx's theory of historical materialism, employment is a problem that arises in modernization, particularly in industrialization and urbanization. China faces two challenges in its modernization process: insufficient development of its productive forces and current production relations that do not facilitate the development of productive forces. China is in the primary stage of socialism, where mechanized production replaces traditional production modes, resulting in a continuous decline in labor demand while labor supply is increasing. The internal production forces and production relations within society cannot interact, leading to oversupply in the labor market and resulting in a surplus of labor. At the same time, modernization requires a fundamentally new approach to employment in China, while the current employment situation is far from meeting modernization requirements. Therefore, the Chinese government must follow Marx's theory of historical materialism, and deeply reform and innovate its systems and mechanisms to achieve complete unity between production relations and productive forces. Only then can employment problems be solved.

“…The goal of the official rhetoric about the Chinese Dream of Great Rejuvenation, initiated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government after the accession to leadership of Xi Jinping in 2012, is to sustain the country's rapid economic growth and enable it to join, or even surpass, the wealthy countries of the world (Carrai, 2021;Whyte, 2020). In the following year China announced its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a global infrastructure development strategy with two components: the Maritime Silk Road Initiative and the Silk Road Economic Belt (Blanchard & Flint, 2017).…”

Since the end of the Cold War, globalization—the process and the idea—has been reshaping the world. Global studies scholarship has emerged to make sense of the transnational manifestations of globalization: economic, social, cultural, ideological, technological, environmental, and postcolonial. But a series of crises in the first two decades of the twenty-first century has put the neoliberal globalization system of the 1990s under severe strain. Are we witnessing a turn toward “deglobalization,” intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine or a moment of “reglobalization,” spearheaded by digital technology? The contributors to this book employ transdisciplinary research to assess past developments, the current state, and future trajectories of globalization in light of today’s dynamics of insecurity, volatility, and geopolitical tensions.

“…France, China, and Russia hope to reincarnate their empires lost to history, and the United States of America has been forming what one may term a "new" empire, although most Americans deny that nomenclature, with American withdrawal from Afghanistan pointing (hopefully inaccurately) to a collapsing American empire (Ackerman, 2021). On the other hand, China is at best an ersatz "empire," lacking global support required for that role and in fact, facing diminishing instead of accelerating global cohesion for its "China Dream" as it calls that vision (Whyte, 2021). Imaginary is the word that comes to mind in assessing China's imperial role in the 21 st century's third decade, with China, as some have observed, being a "paper dragon" (Frum, 2021).…”

Rethinking Asia in World Politics

Maritime friction among powers, great and small, has escalated in the “Near Seas” region, including East China, Yellow, and South China Seas, largely because China has militarized that region by constructing artificial islands, and then fortifying them. United States warships repeatedly have conducted “Freedom of Navigation Operations” (FOPs) in the region, as have British, Indian, and Japanese warships, with France joining that list in early 2021 also. At the same time, China’s “Belt and Road Initiative” streams economically across Eurasia, with rising debt. This paper will address the objectives of China, the West, and neighbouring Asian countries in terms of increasing, decreasing, or replacing tensions in the region, as “empires” old, new, reincarnated and imaginary converge to participate in this fray. Inevitably, risk prevails, opportunities do also, as once-proud empires such as Britain, France, Russia, and Japan join in to confound if not deter China in its transparent effort as a rising power to control shipping and land transportation in this strategic but fragile corridor that connects Europe and the Middle East with Asia, vital to transporting raw materials, particularly energy, Eastward, and finished products, especially electronics and solar panels, Westward. Crucial issues emerging at a critical time require immediate but careful rethinking of Asia in world politics. Although a pandemic has altered and delayed the course of trade in 2020 and 2021, this may be both blessing and curse, a blessing in the sense that emerging power houses in Asia as well as Oceana have endeavoured to commit more resources toward augmenting the traditional Western powers, motivating them to become stronger Allies of the West. On the other hand, a curse, to the extent the opportunity for conflict increases as it has unfolded in Afghanistan over the summer of 2021. Perhaps this will inspire a rapprochement with China and instil in China a realistic expectation of achieving economic growth in moderation over a gradual time in contrast to a growth spurt in the short term that would lead to conflict and set China back much as Japanese aggression before 1945 led to warfare ending in Japan’s defeat and Allied victory. A desired outcome such as this may be unlikely, however, given China’s reported inroads into Afghanistan, rising threats to Taiwan.
