In recent years, China's neighboring environment has experienced profound changes, and China's external security situation has been subject to a series of shocks. Against this background, China's neighborhood diplomacy has become increasingly prominent. Indochina has been the focus of China's neighborhood diplomacy since the Geneva Conference in 1954. Based on the declassified archives of Kissinger's secret visit to China in 1971, this paper examines the issue of Indochina in the negotiations between Zhou Enlai and Kissinger. The aim is to offer a valuable historical experience for China's neighborhood diplomacy of today and the way to manage and resolve strategic disputes in its neighboring area. The study finds that during the negotiations, Zhou took a clear stance on behalf of the Chinese government in expressing support for the struggle for the national independence of the Indochinese people. This reflects China's unshakable commitment to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and support for the international justice of anti-aggression and anti-colonialism. Additionally, through his statements, Zhou has shown us the meaning of "amity, sincerity, mutual benefit, and inclusiveness (亲诚惠容 Qin Cheng Hui Rong)" in neighborhood diplomacy. All his efforts showed us how to effectively undertake neighborhood diplomacy, which is the essence of maintaining stability in China's neighborhood.

Drawing on an overarching framework of transactional stress theory, in this article the authors develop and test a theoretical model specifying the affect-based relationships between job insecurity and employee creativity, as well as the buffering role of giving support and receiving support in the affective processes. Results from a sample of 569 employees showed that job insecurity had offsetting indirect links with employee creativity through attentiveness and irritation. Both giving support and receiving support reduce the negative effect of job insecurity on employee creativity because they both weaken the negative link between job insecurity and irritation. It was also found that receiving support enhanced the positive relationship between job insecurity and attentiveness. Implications of the results to theory and practice are discussed.

We investigated the impact of positive group affective tone on employee work engagement. Participants in the study were 74 research and development groups (324 employees and 74 group leaders) employed by high-technology companies in China. Hierarchical linear modeling results revealed
a positive cross-level relationship between positive group affective tone and employee work engagement; this relationship was partially mediated by employee core self-evaluation. In addition, there was a positive relationship between leader psychological capital and positive group affective
tone at the group level. We further found that leader psychological capital was a moderator between employee core self-evaluation and their work engagement, such that the positive association was stronger when leader psychological capital was high than when it was low. Implications for organizational
and individual change are described, and recommendations for future research directions are discussed.

We investigated the mediating role of perceived organizational support in the cross-level relationships between procedural, interpersonal, and informational justice climate and organizational citizenship behavior. Hospital staff in China (N = 468) participated in this study.
Using hierarchical linear modeling, we found that procedural and interpersonal justice climate had a significantly positive effect on organizational citizenship behavior. Informational justice climate, however, did not have a significant effect on organizational citizenship behavior. In addition,
perceived organizational support mediated the effect of procedural and interpersonal justice climate on organizational citizenship behavior. Theoretical and practical implications of our findings are discussed in relation to justice climate and organizational citizenship behavior.

Genetic differentiation, genetic exchange, and influence of natural geographic barrier on the genetic structure of 20 geo-populations of Odontotermes formosanus sampled from different regions in Anhui province, China were detected using ISSR. Seventy-nine polymorphic loci were detected with nine ISSR primers, and the percentage of polymorphic bands was 87.78%. The average number of alleles per locus was 1.8778 ± 0.3294, and the effective number of alleles was 1.4741 ± 0.3438. The Nei′s gene diversity and Shannon information index were 0.2832 ± 0.1696 and 0.4307 ± 0.2274, respectively. All the populations were divided into two groups through UPGMA clustering analysis based on Nei's genetic distance. One group comprised geo-populations A, C, and J, and the other group consisted of the remaining clusters. Mantel test results revealed no significant correlation between genetic similarity and geographical distance, as well as between elevation. High levels of genetic diversity, genetic mutation, and genetic differentiation were also detected among the geo-populations of O. formosanus. This study revealed the gene flow and possible migration paths of O. formosanus, which are necessary for continuous monitoring and prevention of this species.
