“…News reports are evidence of social culture and the embodiment of social life. The content of news can express and reflect the trend of thought in the society and depict people’s overall attitude toward a topic (Wang, 1989). Therefore, this study selected news reports for content analysis to inductively obtain dimensions of privacy concerns in the Chinese society.…”

Purpose The significant cultural difference between China and Western countries, primarily the USA, suggests that it is necessary for researchers to take an emic approach to understand how the concept of privacy concerns is interpreted from the perspective of people from within the Chinese culture. However, all privacy concerns studies in the Chinese context have virtually adopted an etic approach. Therefore, this study aims to answer the following questions: What dimensions do privacy concerns encompass in the Chinese cultural context? What are the structural relationships among these dimensions? The authors answer these questions by conducting a mixed method research. Design/methodology/approach The authors first content analyzed Chinese news reports about information privacy and found that trading, management and awareness are relevant dimensions of privacy concerns. Further, the authors validated the three dimensions by surveying 185 Chinese consumers. Findings The data showed that Chinese consumers’ privacy concerns have a second-order factor structure, where the trading, management and awareness dimensions are first-order factors. Originality/value The results of this research contribute to the literature by developing the construct of privacy concerns that fits the context of Chinese culture and also point out possible managerial practices to mitigate Chinese consumers’ privacy concerns.

“…As indicated by Wei Yuan, neither the expansion of army rosters in the wake of Qianlong's 1781 reforms and White Lotus nor the integrity allowance for officers could be reversed. As a result, peacetime military expenditures increased even as the fighting ability of the standing armies continued to be eroded by severe spending caps on salaries and military equipment (Wang 1967, pp. 192–212; Chao 1980; Zhao 1999).…”

“…The treasury of the Board of Revenue had a dual function, serving both as Beijing's local treasury and as a reserve to settle deficits in the general balance of accounts in the empire. Given that the statutory expenditure quota for Beijing alone was 8,276,837 tls (with total annual expenses closer to 9.45 million) (Wang 1967, pp. 310–11; Han 2012, p. 49; Zhou 2000, p. 67), it becomes clear from the chart that revenues shipped from the provinces (‘silver income excluding contributions’) almost never sufficed for the maintenance of the metropolitan bureaucracy.…”

Austerity in times of war: government finance in early nineteenth-century China

Qing China represents a counterfactual to the early modern European history of fiscal expansion in the wake of warfare. In response to the staggering costs of suppressing the White Lotus Rebellion (1796–1804), the Jiaqing Emperor sought to solve the empire's fiscal problems by tightening bureaucratic control over an overstretched system of treasury finance. However, Jiaqing's policy of austerity and retrenchment was not simply an expedient in times of fiscal strain, but deeply rooted in ideological struggles over taxation that began in the eighteenth century. It was an expression of hardline fiscal conservatism, which held fixed revenue quotas sacrosanct and which I call quota-ism. This policy had dire consequences for the ability of the Qing regime to respond to external shocks and to fulfill its sovereign tasks – war, river conservancy and famine relief. It contributed to the bankruptcy of Qing government finance by the time of the Opium War.

“…K9 glass is generally superior to other materials in terms of transmittance, refractive effect, texture, and hardness [3] . The optical grade CaF2 crystal has good transmittance in the ultraviolet band, high laser damage resistance threshold, low stress birefringence, and highly uniform refractive index [4,8] . MgF2 from vacuum ultraviolet 120 μm to infrared 80 μm has excellent transmittance, low absorption in both ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, and has birefringence performance and a high laser damage threshold [5,8] .…”

The 1064 nm laser damage experimental system was established to study the spatiotemporal evolution of plasma generated by K9 window, fused silica, CaF2 and MgF2. In the experiment, the ICCD camera was used to capture the plasma morphology at a fixed delay time, while a fiber optic spectrometer was used to collect spectral information of spontaneous emission during the plasma evolution process. The evolution process of plasma generated by K9 window and fused silica was relatively similar, and the evolution process of plasma generated by CaF2 and MgF2 was relatively similar too. The transient plasma morphology of different optical windows induced by 1064 nm laser were diverse, indicating that the evolution process of laser plasma had become a unique feature of optical windows. The lifetime of plasma of K9 window, fused silica, CaF2 and MgF2 was about 2000 ns, 500 ns, 500 ns and 500 ns induced by 1064 nm laser. Due to the damage thresholds of different optical windows, the time from plasma generation to disappearance was also different. The results of spectral analysis indicated that the plasma spectrum had a direct correlation with the elemental composition of the optical window itself, and comparing the spectra of the same optical window under different delay conditions, it could be seen that the delay time of the maximum spectral peak intensity was correlated with the plasma lifetime of optical windows.
