“…Led by Chinese-based multinational conglomerates and domestic industry leaders such as Tencent, Alibaba, ByteDance, JingDong (JD) and Pinduoduo (PDD), these companies not only developed flagship technologies that bolstered internet penetration such as short-video platforms, social media platforms, e-commerce platforms, online take-out ordering apps, online gaming, livestreaming platforms, and search engines, but also provided a tremendous number of new jobs for China's young adults which initiated a technology-savvy, social media-prioritized market where millennials favor to work at. Traditionally, China's resources and national strategy to boost the economy is through the agricultural business (Gaudreau, 2019). As the leader of the global agribusiness, China holds over 670 million metric tons of grains, which is about 60% of the world's grain reserves (Gaudreau, 2019).…”

The pursuit of international higher education has been remarkably sought by Chinese International Students (CIS) over the past four decades. The 1978 reform not only provided opportunities for China to re-develop its longstalled foreign relations and rebuild its damaged economic state but also re-opened doors for Chinese nationals to seek international higher education (IHE). The world watched China evolve from an economically and academically mediocre nation in the late 20th century into the second largest economic body and the leading academic research nation in the world over recent years. During the late 1900s when China remained poor in terms of technology advancements, CIS who pursued Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) degrees overseas played a crucial role in the effort of rebuilding China's infrastructure. Over the past dozen years, the number of CIS has reached a record high, and while STEM education continued to be favored, other pursuits of studies such as business, liberal arts, and social sciences have increased as well. On top of exploring whether the aspirations for today's CIS' pursuit of IHE have shifted compared to preceding CIS post the 1978 reform, this paper specifically aims to find out whether CIS today hold different reasons for returning to its homeland China post abroad, compared to the preceding CIS. Based on in-depth interviews conducted with 31 CIS who are studying/have studied at 19 universities across the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Canada, and France, the results indicate that current CIS hold different academic aspirations for pursuing IHE and altered reasoning for returning to China post abroad, compared to the preceding CIS.

“…Four articles in this special issue examine critical changes in China's food production across multiple scales, using diverse research methods. Both Gaudreau (2019) and Xu et al (2018) focus on national food security policies: one article approaches this issue through the lens of food sovereignty discourses; the other through the lens of farmland protection and food imports. Matthew Gaudreau's analysis of discourses around food security and food sovereignty used by both the state and social groups reveals the nuances of food sovereignty activists' struggle for discursive power.…”

“…The eight articles in this collection make critical contributions to the scholarship of agrifood studies, particularly the political economy of food production and consumption. There has been little research to date on the important issue of the relationship between "virtual land imports" and land conversion , food sovereignty discourses (Gaudreau 2019), competing relationships between rural social classes (Huang 2019), changing roles of local government in greening food production (Qiao et al 2019), consumer channels of food access beyond food retail outlets (Si, Scott, and McCordic 2019), the role of social media platforms in community supported agriculture development (Chen and Tan 2019) and the "self-protection" movements (of informal economies of clean food) among farmers and consumers (Lin et al 2019;Zhang and Qi 2019).…”
