In 1897, the Japanese government began its effort to make modern Japanese citizens out of Han Taiwanese schoolgirls in its first overseas colony, Taiwan (1895–1945). As a latecomer and the only non-Western empire, Japanese leaders showcased educational efforts in Taiwan to cast Japan as a benevolent colonizer. Educational efforts in Taiwan targeted the masses, including girls, in contrast to most European colonies in Africa and Asia where only elites received education. Through the public education of girls, the Japanese leadership implemented its version of modern female citizenship – "good wives, wise mothers" who were essential for producing loyal and healthy male citizens necessary for building a strong empire. The education of girls was a national and colonial project as Japanese leaders embarked on nation-building and empire-building efforts.Using a combination of archival research and interviews, this project investigates how Japanese colonial education of girls shaped the daily lives, self-perceptions, and memories of Taiwanese girls. My research suggests three patterns. First, a discrepancy existed between the intentions of the colonists and the impact on the colonized: while the colonial government intended to train Taiwanese girls to become loyal wives and mothers of the Japanese empire, the colonized sought education as a way to increase family income or enhance their daughters' marriageability. Second, experiences in colonial schools and the impact of public education depended on one's nationality, gender, and socioeconomic status as Japanese colonial policy restructured and redefined communities and divisions. Finally, the colonial legacy lingers on as Taiwanese women and men used their Japanese educational experiences to construct colonial nostalgia and critique the postwar Chinese Nationalist government. Compared to Chinese and Koreans who suffered from Japanese imperialistic aggression, Taiwanese are known as the most pro-Japan people in East Asia. An examination of schoolgirls' memories helps explain this phenomenon and furthers our understanding of the current geopolitics in East Asia.

The government website is an important tool for the government to improve administrative efficiency and public service. Just as traditional government management needs performance evaluation, government websites also need performance evaluation. Based on the theory of Balanced Scorecard (BSC), this article puts forward a set of BSC performance evaluation index system for government websites and uses analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to establish the weight of all levels of indicators in the system. According to the characteristics of website performance evaluation, the qualitative and quantitative indicators are disposed in a unified fuzzy processing, and the performance of government websites is evaluated objectively and impartially by multi-level fuzzy evaluation method, which provides a scientific and feasible method for promoting the performance of government websites.

This study aims to explore the promoting impact of green innovation on the fusion of industry and talent (FIT). The primary objectives of the study also include showing how FIT affects the Yangtze River Economic Belt of China and evaluating the development status of three subsystems: the pharmaceutical industry, talent support, and green innovation. In this study, an index system comprising 28 indicators is established to characterize the three subsystems, based on which a comprehensive evaluation model is used to assess the development of each subsystem. A fusion model is used to explore the current status of FIT and the role that green innovation plays in this, based on panel data obtained for 11 provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2010 to 2019. The results suggest that: (1) the three subsystems in the Belt have all maintained growth, though the development score for the pharmaceutical industry fluctuated greatly and has been somewhat unstable, while growth trends for talent support and green innovation have been stable; (2) the extent of FIT is low, with nearly half of the provinces and cities lacking organization, with a typical spatial pattern of higher levels in the downstream region and lower levels in the upstream region. The downstream region has obvious advantages in the degree of FIT, while the upstream region has a more optimistic growth trend; and (3) green innovation stimulated the development of FIT in the Belt, with a "strong and stronger" trend depending on the foundation of FIT. To promote FIT, the government should (1) focus on enhancing the development and efficiency of green innovation to help promote FIT; (2) promote the stable and sustainable growth of the pharmaceutical industry as well as talent's support to consolidate the foundation of fusion; and (3) implement regional coordinated development and interaction policies to narrow the regional gap.

State-owned enterprises (SOE) are essentially extensions of the government and are therefore responsible for multi-task objectives. The incentive system for SOE managers consists of both monetary compensation and promotion within the bureaucratic system. Political promotion is key to understanding the incentives of SOE managers. In the reform and opening up era, SOEs have been reformed and exposed to political and market forces. The design of incentive systems for SOE managers has thus become complicated and challenging. Our study provides important implications for this key issue of SOE reform.

Nowadays, "new governance" and "network governance" become more and more popular. When the government draws up some policies and tries to improve local economic development, a large number of local culture industries and culture festivals are prospering. The cultural industry is a sunrise industry in the 21st century, and it is also the driving force for social progress.Especially with the rapid development of economy in Jilin province of China, more and more people focus on it. But many problems happen during the construction of culture industry because of different factors. In this paper, we have carried on the elaboration from several aspects to the cultural industries development and the brand management in cultural consumption and cultural industry's development. We show the conception of cultural industry, and then we analyze the status quo and find what happened in the area. Finally, we put forward some of the suggestions and countermeasures which are suitable for the development of cultural industry which are Based on the analysis of the problems.

ABSTRACTWe examine whether a firm's business strategy is associated with financial reporting violations and audit fees in an emerging market setting. We follow the typology of Miles and Snow (1978, 2003) that describes a strategy continuum with the innovative "prospector" strategy and the cost-leadership "defender" strategy at the two ends. Using data from China, we find that prospectors are associated with more financial reporting violations and higher audit fees than defenders. Specifically, prospectors are positively associated with the occurrence of inadvertent reporting violations. Further analysis reveals that the increase in audit fees for prospectors is not different among firms exposed to different levels of business risk (proxied by ownership structure, auditor size, and leverage). We conjecture that the associations between business strategy and financial reporting violations and audit fees in China are due to firm financial reporting risks arising from accounting complexity.Data Availability: Data used are available from public sources indicated in the text.
