Governance Mechanism of Non-state-owned Shareholders and Enterprise Investment
The participation of non-state shareholders in governance, as a key aspect of deepening the mixed-ownership reform of state-owned enterprises, holds significant importance in improving corporate governance, particularly in corporate investment. This paper manually compiles a unique dataset of non-state shareholder governance indices for state-owned enterprises listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share markets from 2010 to 2024, considering multidimensional governance at three levels: equity governance, top management governance, and network governance. It examines the impact of non-state shareholder participation in governance on corporate investment. The research indicates that the participation of non-state shareholders in governance can enhance corporate investment efficiency. Specifically, this enhancement is primarily achieved by increasing the level of compensation incentives and capital allocation efficiency. This paper expands the research on non-state shareholder governance mechanisms and corporate investment, providing empirical evidence for improving internal governance and investment levels of state-owned enterprises in the context of mixed-ownership reform.

Potential Issues and Countermeasures in the Development of Tianjin as a “Smart City”
This paper focuses on Tianjin Municipality, employing a combination of empirical and normative analysis to systematically examine its current development status and potential challenges in areas such as population growth, economic agglomeration, and public service provision. By analyzing government statistical bulletins, population censuses, and policy documents, the research identifies core challenges including an aging population structure, insufficient industrial innovation momentum, and uneven public service distribution. It subsequently proposes countermeasures oriented toward smart city development. The paper emphasizes that advancing urban smartification is an essential pathway for realizing Tianjin's strategic positioning. It delves into the critical role of smart cities in alleviating population pressures, optimizing industrial structures, and enhancing public service efficiency, aiming to provide academic insights and practical foundations for Tianjin's high-quality development and modernized governance.

Are More Trade Partners Necessarily More Important? — An Assessment of International Trade Networks Based on Multidimensional Network Centrality
In the evolving global economic landscape, international trade is indispensable to China, just as China is indispensable to the international trading system. As global trade relations become increasingly networked, traditional approaches that measure a country’s status solely by trade volume or the number of trade partners face significant limitations. To capture countries’ structural roles in the global trade network more comprehensively, this paper constructs a bilateral trade network of 100 countries from 2006 to 2021 using a modified gravity model and systematically evaluates its structural characteristics and community dynamics through social network analysis (SNA). Building on this framework, we introduce five centrality measures—degree, eigenvector, closeness, betweenness, and PageRank—to conduct a multidimensional radar-chart assessment of national network positions, thereby identifying structurally pivotal countries that may have relatively few direct connections. The results reveal that: (1) countries with a large number of trade partners are not necessarily key players in the network; (2) countries with high structural centrality often serve as bridging hubs that shape network stability and transmission pathways; (3) some traditional economic powers exhibit marginalization in structural indicators; and (4) certain small or emerging economies embed themselves into the global core through transit advantages or institutional attractiveness. This study challenges the conventional belief that “more connections imply greater influence” and underscores the importance of multidimensional centrality in identifying key participants in the international trade network. The findings provide a structural perspective and policy implications for optimizing national trade strategies and regional cooperation frameworks.

International Comparative Study on the Growth of Strategic Emerging Industries
As the core carrier of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial reform, strategic emerging industries have become an important starting point for countries to seize the initiative in reshaping the global economic pattern. This paper selects four representative countries, the United States, Germany, Japan and China, and systematically compares the factual characteristics, antecedents, process mechanism and evolution path of the growth of strategic emerging industries. The research finds that: first, at the level of industrial layout, the four countries have formed a "multi habitat" development pattern in the United States, a "high-tech" development pattern in Germany, a "refined" development pattern in Japan and a "coordinated" development pattern in China based on their respective economic bases, resource endowments and development needs. Second, at the level of antecedents, digital infrastructure construction and fiscal and tax incentive policies constitute the key supporting environment for industrial growth. Among them, the construction of digital infrastructure shows the differentiation path of Chinese government leading, American market leading, government participation, German government leading and Japanese social traction; The fiscal and tax incentive policies are respectively reflected in China's emphasis on resource allocation and national strategic coordination, the United States' emphasis on the combination of pre support and post incentive, Germany's preference for long-term stable support, and Japan's focus on green industry guidance. Third, at the process mechanism level, innovation driven development and international development constitute the dual driving forces of industrial growth. In terms of innovation drive, China has formed an integrated innovation model, the United States has focused on disruptive innovation, Germany has promoted incremental innovation relying on the government, industry, University and research system, and Japan has driven open innovation with the "government, industry, University" integration mechanism; In terms of international development, China is characterized by a rising industrial chain driven by both policy and market. The United States relies on technological advantages to dominate global standards and industrial chain layout, Germany relies on industrial infrastructure to promote the deep integration of industrial chains, and Japan relies on government enterprise collaboration and multi-level policy support to achieve global expansion. Through international comparative research, this paper reveals the multi-path mode and system adaptation logic of the growth of strategic emerging industries, and provides a systematic analysis framework for understanding the development law of emerging industries in different countries.
