With the paradigm shift driven by Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) technology, the design industry is undergoing unprecedented transformation and reconstruction. China's traditional design education model faces severe challenges, as long-standing emphases on hand-drawing skills and mastery of classical software increasingly fail to meet the evolving demands of the AIGC era. This paper proposes that design education must undergo a comprehensive Four-Dimensional Reconstruction encompassing four key dimensions: educational objectives, curriculum system, assessment mechanisms, and pedagogical environments. Drawing on a systematic literature review, the study develops a conceptual... More >

The rapid advancement of internet and information technology has given rise to new forms of cybercrimes and illegal activities. To precisely combat such increasingly severe new types of crimes, China incorporated the "crime of aiding information network criminal activities" into the Amendment (IX) to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China. However, in judicial practice, issues persist, including an overly low threshold for determining "knowingly," insufficient justification for "the principal offender's commission of a crime," ambiguous definition of "aiding acts," and biased assessment of "serious circumstances." These problems have exacerbated the vagueness of legal provisions,... More >

Pakistan ranks among the world's most climate-vulnerable nations, experiencing recurrent floods, extreme heatwaves, droughts, and water insecurity despite contributing less than one percent to global greenhouse gas emissions. Although numerous climate policies and strategic frameworks have been formulated, their implementation remains substantially limited, exemplifying policy paralysis wherein political acknowledgement fails to translate into effective action. This study examines climate change through a public policy and governance lens, contending that the crisis represents primarily an institutional failure rather than insufficient awareness. Key drivers of policy paralysis include weak... More >

With the acceleration of globalization, transnational crimes are becoming increasingly complex and diverse, especially drug trafficking, cyber fraud, telecommunications fraud, money laundering and human trafficking, which are frequent and pose a serious threat to the security of the international community. As an important neighbor and regional cooperation partner of China, the Philippines is particularly prone to transnational crimes, and judicial assistance between China and the Philippines has become a key mechanism for dealing with cross-border crimes. Based on legal system analysis and case studies, this paper systematically sorts out the current status of judicial assistance between Ch... More >

To investigate the decoupling effect of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on carbon emissions, this study employs nonlinear panel models and threshold regression models to analyze the impact of FDI on economic growth and carbon emissions in RCEP member countries from 2000 to 2023. First, the Tapio decoupling model reveals that since 2012, the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions has predominantly exhibited a weak decoupling state. Second, the results from the nonlinear panel models and threshold models indicate that FDI has a significant "U-shaped" nonlinear relationship with both economic growth and carbon emissions. Specifically, in terms of economic effects, FDI may ini... More >
