“…China's role remains the principal operating point concerning official negotiations leading up to implementation. Given its status as the second largest economy in the world, China should continue to have positive relations with other nations (Rashidin et al, 2020). Four of China's top ten trading partners in 2022 were from RCEP members, namely ASEAN, Japan, South Korea, and Australia.…”

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), one of the globe's most expansive free trade agreements (FTAs), has profoundly influenced its member countries' trading patterns. This fact is especially critical for a major economic powerhouse such as China. Understanding its trade creation and trade diversion within the RCEP context can facilitate successful formulation strategies and result in effective economic policies. In this study, we utilize the World Integrated Trade Solution Software for Market Analysis and Restrictions on Trade (WITS-SMART), a partial equilibrium modeling tool, on both state-level and industrial-tier tariff reductions under two distinct scenarios. Our findings confirm that China will benefit from impactful trade results across all RCEP members. Looking from industry point of view: machinery, chemicals, metals sector together with plastics and rubber production are projected to enjoy maximum rewards through increased trade creation and diversion opportunities from Japan and Korea. On the contrary, Australia and ASEAN have the greatest influence on the animal and vegetable sector. This crucial understanding creates strategic indicators that aid in evaluating the most appropriate alignments to harness the untapped potential in the RECP domain.

“…Since its economic reform and opening-up, China has experienced rapid economic growth and become the second-largest economy in the world (Rashidin et al 2020 ). However, rapid economic growth has accelerated the exploitation of natural resources and increased the emission of industrial pollutants, resulting in serious environmental pollution problems (Wang et al 2021 ).…”

Factor market distortion is a critical factor that affects environmental pollution, and technological innovation is regarded as a new opportunity to alleviate environmental pollution. Based on panel data from 30 Chinese provinces from 2003 to 2019, this study constructs an intermediary effect model to test the influence mechanism of factor market distortion on regional environmental pollution and the intermediary effect of technological innovation, exploring these effects based on spatial differentiation characteristics. This study shows that factor market distortion protects industries with backward production capacity, high resource consumption, serious pollution, and low production efficiency from elimination; hinders the transformation and upgrading of the regional industrial structure; and forms a lock in the sloppy growth mode, which directly affects the improvement of regional environmental quality. This study reveals the influence of factor market distortions on environmental pollution. This provides empirical evidence for giving play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation and promoting green technology innovation.

The Remaking of China–EUrope Relations in the New Era of US–China Antagonism

The recent years have witnessed a significant change in China-EUrope relations, with the EU's strategic positioning of China undergoing a fundamental shift from a "partner" to a "systemic rival." By applying a theoretical framework based on neoclassical realism, the present paper examines the determinant factors leading to such a shift. This study highlights three factors: first, a change in the US's strategy and governance capability; second, the power symmetries between China and EUrope, including salient changes in material strength and marked differences in norms; third, an emergent change in strategic culture, encompassing a striving China visà-vis a strategically autonomous EUrope. By following Götz's (2021) insights on neoclassical realist approaches that employ intervening variables as complementary factors, we identify the US factor as the most important international factor in structural terms, while the power symmetries and strategic culture act as complementary factors. The paper concludes that while maintaining engagement, China-EUrope relations will only see further intensified rivalry and contradictions in the future.
