“…However, the trade position in construction services has become stronger as in the last decade the European market became a target for some big Chinese contractors who became more offensive in exporting construction services to the European market (Holslag, 2017). Firstly, this was the effect of changes in policy regarding construction services in China, as the pillar sector of economic growth (Su et al, 2022) and sustainable development (Gan et al, 2022). Secondly, the growing attention paid to the European market goes hand in hand with the state offering cheap financing, low production and labour costs, eagerness to learn and pick up ideas and technologies, as well as building parts of projects in China.…”

Research background: In recent decades, services in international trade have been growing steadily in importance, and there has been strong growth in China?s trade in services as a result of the ?opening up? policy. China has become the European Union?s second biggest trading partner in services with the European Union (EU), being China?s largest trading partner. The EU is one of the addressees of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative, which creates opportunities and threads to the European Internal Market in services. Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is to contribute to the literature and fulfil the research gap on the position of China in intra-EU trade in services. Methods: We identified the most important types of services offered by China to purchasers from the EU countries. By using the Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA) and trade balance (LFI) indices, we classified the Chinese exports to the EU Internal Market by types of services and by their trade position. Findings & value added: We found out that China might be perceived as a strong competitor for intra-EU trade in selected services, especially those concerning low-end service tasks, that use relatively low-skilled labour and are less knowledge- and capital-intensive. However, China?s attitude is changing towards more sophisticated services for example R&D. It creates a need for a new approach to the EU economic policies (in terms of both protectionism and interventionism) in trade relations in services with China.

“…In this regard, it is critical to understand that people must be provided with the opportunities to develop their critical thinking ability and intention to achieve their goals sustainably and reliably according to their intention ( Langford et al, 2018 ; Elrayah, 2022 ). Therefore, by adopting sustainable, innovative ways, people would be better able to achieve their goals productively and effectively ( Su et al, 2022 ).…”

Among the beliefs related to teaching work, self-efficacy stands out and encourage innovation across the global education systems. Specifically, the lack of interest among instructors in introducing innovative techniques in physical education is a concern across China. Therefore, this study intends to investigate the role of cognitive indicators (mental workload, decision-making process, innovation in physical education, and self-efficacy) of innovation in physical education across China. This study opted for quantitative techniques, including using a structured questionnaire to collect data from targeted respondents through the survey techniques. Moreover, 800 questionnaires were circulated, and as a result, 420 usable responses were attained, making the overall response rate stand at 40%. The results indicate that the above-stated cognitive factors, along with self-efficacy, have a positive role in causing innovation across the physical education exchequer of China. Likewise, self-efficacy played the mediating role between cognitive indicators and innovation in physical education in China. The study has notable theoretical and practical implications for the policymakers in terms of introducing policies that could help increase the cognitive state of educationists, which in turn possibly will help make them pursue innovation within the education system of China.

“…In summary, a wealth of research confirms that the SDA method is particularly suitable for analyzing the impact of industry linkages and consumption, investment and exports on carbon emissions (Zhou et al 2018). However, since the SDA method is based on input-output tables, but China's input-output tables are compiled every 5 years, it is difficult to track the evolution of each influencing factor year by year (Su et al 2022;Wang and Han 2021). Moreover, SDA has high data requirements, which limits the selection of influencing factors in relevant studies and reduces the applicability to specific decision-making needs (Xu et al 2022).…”

As the world's largest energy consumer, China's carbon emission reduction efforts play a pivotal role in achieving the world's climate change goals. Identifying the key factors driving the evolution of China's carbon emissions and understanding the contrasting situation of carbon emissions and economic growth are of great practical significance for China to effectively control the growth of carbon emissions and scientifically formulate carbon emission reduction policies. This paper analyzes the drivers of China's carbon emissions at the national and provincial levels using the LMDI model, and analyzes the relationship between China's economic growth and carbon emissions using the Tapio decoupling index, based on the measurement of China's carbon emissions from energy consumption during 2003–2020. Further, the paper combines the Tapio model with the LMDI model to analyze the key factors affecting the decoupling index of carbon emissions in China. The conclusions show that China's carbon emissions grow at an average annual rate of 4.04% from 2003 to 2020, and show a high growth trend until 2013, while the growth rate is more moderate after 2013. The R&D scale effect, urbanization effect, and population scale effect are the factors driving the growth of China's carbon emissions; while the energy structure effect, energy consumption industry structure effect, energy intensity effect, and R&D efficiency effect on carbon emissions inhibit the growth of China's carbon emissions during the study period. Weak decoupling is the most dominant decoupling state in China from 2003 to 2020, and the decoupling state varies significantly among provinces. Based on this, this paper obtains corresponding policy recommendations.
