    Aug. 23-24, 2018 Guangzhou, China Supporting Organization ——Nutritional Food and Dietary Supplement, Functional Beverage, Food for Special Medical Purpose (FSMP), Innovative Packaging, Latest Processing and Automation Technology Supporting Media 2018 China Food & Beverage Manufacturing Summit & Expo Background It is predicted that the sales revenue of China's dietary supplements market will rise from 260 billion yuan in 2016 to 400 billion yuan in 2021, with an average annual growth rate of 10%-15%. The dietary supplements gradually transfer from luxury consumption to ordi- nary consumption. ‘China food and Nutrition Development Program (2014-2020) ‘men- tioned that this national plan would actively improve the people's nutrient intake by set- ting a priority to developing the nutritional and fortified food sectors of food ingredients market . The total global consumption of special medical purpose food is 56 billion to 64 billion yuan annually, and the market scale increases annually by 6%. From the malnutrition patients in America, 65% consume special medical purpose food. In Britain that number only reaches 27% and in China 1.6%. The value of mainland consumption of special pur- pose food reaches 600 million yuan annually, which is just about 1% of global market. ‘The China Food & Beverage Manufacturing Summit & Expo 2018’ will maintain ‘Nutritional Food and Dietary Supplement Session’, ‘Functional Beverage Session’, ‘Innovative Pack- aging Session’ and ‘Latest Processing and Automation Technology Session’, and newly added ‘Food for Special Medical Purpose Session’. The summit will bring 35 speeches covering several hot topics including food and beverage industry regulation, development trend, formula, food safety, innovative packaging and latest processing technology.

  • Prodigals in Love: Narrating Gay Identity and Collectivity on the Early Internet in China
    Prodigals in Love: Narrating Gay Identity and Collectivity on the Early Internet in China by Gang Pan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Gang Pan 2015 Prodigals in Love: Narrating Gay Identity and Collectivity on the Early Internet in China Gang Pan Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This dissertation concerns itself with the eruption of a large number of gay narratives on the Chinese internet in its first decade. There are two central arguments. First, the composing and sharing of narratives online played the role of a social movement that led to the formation of gay identity and collectivity in a society where open challenges to the authorities were minimal. Four factors, 1) the primacy of the internet, 2) the vernacular as an avenue of creativity and interpretation, 3) the transitional experience of the generation of the internet, and 4) the evolution of gay narratives, catalyzed by the internet, enhanced, amplified, and interacted with each other in a highly complicated and accelerated dynamic, engendered a virtual gay social movement. Second, many online gay narratives fall into what I term “prodigal romance,” which depicts gay love as parent-obligated sons in love with each other, weaving in violent conflicts between desire and duty in its indigenous context. The prodigal part of this model invokes the archetype of the Chinese prodigal, who can only return home having excelled and with the triumph of his journey.

Introduction PVC plastics that contain chemical additives such as Lead stabilizers and DEHP plasticizers have a proven harmful effect on human health and the environment. In the EU, the use of these toxic additives in PVC products has been restricted or banned and replaced by safer alternatives. Since these regulatory changes have mostly been confined to the EU and not implemented on a wider international scale, increasing the sustainability awareness and promoting the voluntary substitution of these additives in countries like China has become a top priority. With the adoption of China’s 13th Five-year Plan (2016-2020), high-end, intelligent and green production became a key policy priority to promote the overall improvement of the manufacturing industry. In the upcoming 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), the Chinese government is once again stressing the importance of protecting the environment.

  • Tracing the Distributional Effect of Trade Policy on Firm Value
    Tracing the Distributional Effect of Trade Policy on Firm Value∗ Yahui Wang† This Version: December 2019 Abstract I investigate the effect of trade liberalization policy on firm value. I identify this effect by exploiting cross-sectional differences in firms’ exposure to potential tariff hikes imposed on U.S. imported goods from China. I examine both U.S. and Chinese equity market responses when U.S. granted permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) to China in 2000, and document puzzling responses from the Chinese market: Firms with larger downside risks that were eliminated—and thus were likely to gain more access to the U.S. market—suffered larger equity value reduction when the PNTR bill passed. I discover that the negative stock market reactions are driven mainly by state-owned enterprises (SOEs). I then propose a mechanism in which SOEs and non-SOEs differ in their capacity to withstand negative shocks due to government’s safety net provision. The proposed mechanism is supported by evidence from firm exporting activities and stock market responses during anti-dumping episodes. My results imply that trade policy uncertainty elimination may generate distributional gains from reallocation to more efficient firms in the context of inefficient institutions. ∗I am indebted to my advisor, Kent Daniel, for his advice and support throughout this project. I am grateful to Jesse Schreger and Olivier Darmouni for their generous encouragement and instructions. I thank the participants in the Finance Seminar and PhD Student Seminar at Columbia Business School and the Financial Economics Colloquium at Columbia University.

  • A Review of Technology Standards and Patent Portfolios for Enabling Cyber- Physical Systems (CPS) in Advanced Manufacturing
    This article has been accepted for publication in a future issue of this journal, but has not been fully edited. Content may change prior to final publication. Citation information: DOI 10.1109/ACCESS.2016.2619360, IEEE Access 1 Manuscript ID Access-2016-01636 A Review of Technology Standards and Patent Portfolios for Enabling Cyber- Physical Systems (CPS) in Advanced Manufacturing AMY J.C. TRAPPEY1, CHARLES V. TRAPPEY2, USHARANI HAREESH GOVINDARAJAN1, JOHN J. SUN1, ALLEN C. CHUANG1 1Department of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan 2Department of Management Science, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan Corresponding author: Amy J.C. Trappey ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are a collection of transformative technologies for managing interconnected physical and computational capabilities [1]. Recent developments in technology are increasing the availability and affordability of sensors, data acquisition systems, and computer networks. The competitive nature of industry requires manufacturers to implement new methodologies. CPS is a broad area of engineering which supports applications across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, electric power grids, agriculture, and transportation [2-9]. In particular, CPS is the core technology enabling the transition from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0 (I 4.0) and is transforming global advanced manufacturing. This paper provides a consolidated review of the latest CPS literature, a complete review of international standards, and a complete analysis of patent portfolios related to the 5C’s CPS architecture model by Lee, et al. [1]. The critical evaluation of international standards and the intellectual property contained in CPS patents is unaddressed by previous research and will benefit both academic scholars and industry practitioners.
