摘要：Much of scholarly writing on compliance is derived from the experiences of Western multi-national corporations operating in developed economies. This introduction to the special issue China in Compliance departs from such convention by asking how compliance works in China. By broadening the scope of compliance studies to include non-Western contexts, including China and its relationship to the Global South and nondemocratic settings, the special issue breaks new ground in the empirical analysi...

摘要：Over the past three decades, a growing number of Chinese enterprises have entered Ethiopia's construction and manufacturing sectors as contractors and investors. While adapting to a new regulatory environment, many of these companies have faced administrative challenges and accusations of noncompliance, some of which have been brought to court. Drawing on ethnographic research, this article shows how and why Ethiopian lawyers employed by Chinese firms have become critical to cultivating compli...

摘要：Through case studies in the South Pacific and an examination of Chinese sources, this article examines two dimensions of China's cybercrime enforcement beyond its borders: how it manages to repatriate cybercriminals in the absence of formal extradition agreements, and why these repatriations are surrounded by a high degree of performativity. The article finds targeting influential government figures and bilateral police cooperation agreements are used to bypass legal norms in the Pacific to re...

摘要：Drawing on recent cases of digital technology adoption in China, this paper investigates changes in the digital reach of the Chinese state. We focus first on state capacity, a key dimension of state reach, and show that the adoption of digital technologies by central and local governments has increased coercive, administrative, and extractive capacity. We also examine the state's intrusiveness and show that digitalizing governance and regulatory processes has enabled new forms of power abuse, ...

摘要：In conventional understandings of compliance, lawyers and compliance officers internalize compliance within corporations. Complicating this model, this article argues that compliance professionals may occupy a Janus-faced role between informality and formality. We use the case of legal brokers of Chinese investment in Cambodia as our empirical testing ground. Based on qualitative fieldwork conducted in Cambodia from 2019 to 2022, we find that legal brokers between Chinese investors and Cambodi...

摘要：It has become commonplace for non-democratic regimes to integrate information and communication technologies (ICTs) into their governance system. However, how citizens make use of these new digital opportunities in an authoritarian setting remains understudied. Based on an online survey in China in 2021, we find that a surprisingly large share of Chinese citizens engages with the new ICT-based participatory venues. But ICTs seem to unfold their potential only for certain groups such as tech-sa...

摘要：There is a continuing debate on whether the internet serves as a public sphere for meaningful political discussion and increases political engagement. Yet, we know little about how internet users in authoritarian regimes perceive and experience online political discussion beyond the dominant frame of censorship and surveillance. Based on the first nationally representative survey on internet use in China, this paper examines how citizens view the space for political discussion online and offli...

摘要：Greenhouse gas emissions trading schemes worldwide broadly adopt third-party verification, introducing private actors into public climate governance. However, the involvement of third-party verifiers can create the risk that no accurate and reliable data concerning emissions is acquired, and this potentially harms the proper implementation of emissions trading schemes. This paper explores why the intervention of third-party verifiers in emissions trading schemes requires regulation and address...
