Taking flexible jobs has become one of the most sought-after career choices for young Chinese people who wish to be in the driver's seat of their careers and value work-life balance. Experts have called for more flexible social insurance programs and stricter supervision of platforms' algorithms to better secure the rights of the flexibly employed.对于那些希望掌控自己职业生涯、重视平衡工作与生活的中国年轻人来说，灵活就业已成为他们最热衷的职业选择之一。专家也呼吁推出更灵活的社保项目、加强对平台算法的监管，以更好地保障灵活就业者的权益。Zhaopin, an online recruitment portal, recently released a report stating that youths born after 2000 are more open-minded towards flexible jobs than older individuals.在线招聘平台智联招聘近日发布的一份报告显示，与年龄较大的群体相比，2000后出生的年轻人对灵活就业持更加开放的态度。Among the surveyed 20-somethings, over half—51.3 percent—said that they have already taken a flexible job or have a strong willingness to work flexibly because of the reduced work pressure and looser restrictions associated with flexible jobs. However, the platform didn't specify the exact number of people surveyed.在接受调查的20多岁年轻人中，超过一半（51.3%）表示已经或有强烈意愿准备从事灵活的主要原因是“工作限制少，压力小”。然而，该平台并未说明具体的受访人数。Zhaopin mentioned that it's not easy to take or keep a flexible job due to the fast growth and development of information technologies and digital economies, which require the employed to possess certain key working skills, time management abilities, clear personal career plans and strong intrinsic motivation to secure more sustainable development for themselves. Employers have also shown increasing interest in hiring flexible workers to save human resources costs and gain new inspiration from the flexibly employed, according to Zhaopin's report. The report indicated that nearly 38 percent of surveyed companies expanded their recruitment of flexible workers this year, with profitable companies taking more positive approaches to hiring flexible workers.智联招聘提到，由于信息技术和数字经济的蓬勃发展，从事或维持灵活就业并不容易，这要求从业者“掌握核心技能”、“具备时间管理能力”、“擅长个人规划”以及“具有较强自驱力”以实现个人可持续发展。报告还显示，企业对聘用灵活就业人员的兴趣也在增加，认为这能节省人力资源成本、提供新灵感。报告指出，今年近38%的被调查公司扩大了对灵活就业人员的招聘，而盈利公司表现更为积极。"I quit my full-time job in September last year and now work as a flexible interior designer. I get design projects from some small-sized architectural firms or platforms like Xiaohongshu, a Chinese life-sharing platform," said Zheng Yuan, a 28-year-old from Beijing.“我去年9月辞去了全职工作，现在是一名灵活就业的室内设计师。我的设计项目是从一些小型建筑公司或小红书（一个中国生活分享平台）等平台获取的，”来自北京的28岁郑元（音译）说。He said he had been stressed at his previous company and was overtasked even on weekends. "I was depressed sitting at the office from 9 am to 9 pm and quit the job due to some health problems. The projects I now take are mostly based on my interests, and I get much more respect from my employers. Payment varies from case to case, but I'm OK with that."他表示，之前在公司工作压力很大，甚至在周末也超负荷工作。“从早上9点一直坐到晚上9点，我都抑郁了，因为健康问题也辞职了。我现在接的项目大多出于个人兴趣，也得到了雇主的更多尊重。报酬因项目而异，但我感觉还行。”Feng Shuaizhang, dean of the Institute for Economic and Social Research of Jinan University in the southern province of Guangdong, said that flexible jobs are usually classified into two types: one is location-based, with registered flexible workers taking online orders but serving in a specific real-world location, such as food delivery workers; the other is cloud-based, with all services fulfilled online by workers usually having higher educational backgrounds and information technology-related skills.广东暨南大学经济与社会研究院院长冯帅章表示，灵活就业通常分为两类：一种是基于位置的灵活就业，从业者通过互联网平台接单，但需要到特定的地理位置提供服务，例如外卖配送员等；一种是基于云端的灵活就业，所有服务均可线上完成，其从业者通常具有较高学历背景和信息技术技能。"Both of these groups need help with working rights protection from the government," he said, suggesting that the government could develop more flexible social insurance programs to allow the flexibly employed to receive fairer returns and insurance coverage based on their contributions.“这两类群体都需要政府在劳动权益保护方面给予帮助，”他说，并建议政府可以制定更灵活的社保项目，让灵活就业者能够根据自己的付出获得更公平的收入和保险覆盖。"It's also important to tighten supervision over platforms' algorithms or involve flexible workers in algorithm design to ensure they receive fair and reasonable online orders and payment," he said.“加强对平台算法的监管，或让灵活就业者参与算法设计，以确保他们获得公平合理的线上订单和报酬，这一点也很重要。”他说。Li Qiang, vice-president of Zhaopin, added that flexible working or hiring will be a trendy labor relation in the future, attracting more white-collar workers with higher educational backgrounds.智联招聘执行副总裁李强补充道，灵活就业或灵活用工将会成为未来的一种流行劳动关系，吸引更多高学历的白领加入。Feng, the dean, added that in addition to policy support, it's also necessary for the public to change its stereotypical view of flexible jobs, as many consider such work to be unstable or indecent.冯帅章院长还表示，许多人认为灵活就业不稳定或不体面，因此除了政策支持外，公众也需要改变对灵活就业的刻板印象。sought-afteradj.热门的，广受欢迎的

In a new report, scientists analyzed 10 years of AREDS2 data. They show that the AREDS2 formula, which substituted antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin for beta-carotene, not only reduces risk of lung cancer due to beta-carotene, but is also more effective at reducing risk of AMD progression, compared to the original formula. “Because beta-carotene increased the risk of lung cancer for current smokers in two NIH-supported studies, our goal with AREDS2 was to create an equally effective supplement formula that could be used by anyone, whether or not they smoke,” said Emily Chew, M.D., at the National Eye Institute (NEI).” In AREDS2, begun in 2006, Chew and colleagues compared the beta-carotene formulation to one with 10 mg lutein and 2 mg zeaxanthin instead. Like beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants with activity in the retina. The beta-carotene-containing formation was only given to participants who had never smoked or who had quit smoking. At the end of the five-year AREDS2 study period, the researchers concluded that lutein and zeaxanthin did not increase risk for lung cancer, and that the new formation could reduce the risk of AMD progression by about 26%. (NEXT) Exercise amplifies immune attack on pancreatic cancer New York University Langone Health, June 2 Aerobic exercise reprograms the immune system to reduce pancreatic tumor growth and amplify the effects of immunotherapy, a new study finds. Published online in Cancer Cell, the study provides new insight into how the mammalian immune system, designed to attack foreign invaders like bacteria, can also recognize cancer cells as abnormal. Exercise-induced increases in levels of the hormone adrenalin cause changes to the immune system, say the study authors, including in the activity of cells that respond to signaling protein interleukin-15 (IL-15). The current study found that exercise promotes the survival of CD8 T cells sensitive to IL-15, and doubles the number of them homing to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumors in mice. Such “effector” T cells have been shown by other studies to be capable of killing cancer cells. Other tests found that aerobic exercise for 30 minutes five times a week reduced the rate of cancer formation by 50 percent in one mouse model of PDAC, and reduced tumor weight by 25 percent in another model, in which mice ran on treadmills for three weeks. Our findings show, for the first time, how aerobic exercise affects the immune microenvironment within pancreatic tumors,” says first author Emma Kurz, MD, Ph.D., at NYU Grossman School of Medicine's Vilcek Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences. (NEXT) Antibiotics wreak havoc on athletic performance University of California at Riverside, June 1 New research demonstrates that by killing essential gut bacteria, antibiotics ravage athletes' motivation and endurance. The UC Riverside-led mouse study suggests the microbiome is a big factor separating athletes from couch potatoes. Other studies have examined the way that exercise affects the microbiome, but this study is one of few to examine the reverse — how gut bacteria also impact voluntary exercise behaviors. Voluntary exercise involves both motivation and athletic ability. Researchers confirmed through fecal samples that after 10 days of antibiotics, gut bacteria were reduced in two groups of mice: some bred for high levels of running, and some that were not. So, when wheel running in the athletic mice was reduced by 21 percent, researchers were certain the microbiome damage was responsible. In addition, the high runner mice did not recover their running behavior even 12 days after the antibiotic treatment stopped. (NEXT) Study: Trans Fat Hides in at Least a Quarter of Supermarket Foods Environmental Working Group, May 22 A new analysis  by Environmental Working Group has found that harmful artificial trans fatty acids lurk in more than 27 percent of more than 84,000 processed foods common in American supermarkets.  Another 10 percent contain ingredients likely to contain trans fat. EWG analysts used information from EWG's Food Scores database and mobile app  to determine which foods contained partially hydrogenated oils and other trans fat containing-ingredients. The interactive, searchable tool rates more than 84,000 foods and 5,000 ingredients based on nutrition, ingredient and processing concerns. In most cases, the products' trans fat content on the nutrition label doesn't add up. The reason: an obscure loophole in federal food labeling regulations that allows food processors to round off less than half a gram of trans fat per serving to zero. A single serving of more than 400 foods in the Food Scores database contained enough trans fat to exceed the World Health Organization's recommended limit of less than 2 grams per day for an adult who consumed a 2,000 calorie diet, the analysis said. (NEXT) Coffee drinking again linked with longer life Jinan University (China), June 1 2022.  Yet another study has found an association between coffee drinking and a lower risk of premature mortality. The research was reported n the Annals of Internal Medicine. The investigation included 171,616 men and women who did not have cancer or heart disease upon enrollment between 2006 to 2010 in the UK Biobank prospective cohort study. Participants were 37 to 73 years old at recruitment. During a 7-year median follow-up period, participants who consumed unsweetened coffee had up to a 29% lower risk of death (which was associated with drinking 2.5 to 4.5 cups per day) compared to those who did not drink coffee. Participants who drank sugar-sweetened coffee had up to a 31% lower risk, associated with consuming 1.5 to 2.5 cups per day. The association between artificially sweetened coffee and mortality risk was inconclusive. “This prospective analysis found that moderate consumption of unsweetened coffee and that of sugar-sweetened coffee were associated with similar reductions in risk for all-cause, cancer-related, and cardiovascular disease-related mortality,” authors Dan Liu, MD, of Jinan University and colleagues concluded.

This week on Sinica: Chén Dìngdìng 陈定定, professor of international relations at Jinan University in Guangzhou, offers his perspective on how Beijing views the war in Ukraine that began on February 24 with the Russian invasion. He concludes that while Beijing's short-term alignment with Russia is fairly locked in and unlikely to shift soon, the long-term prospects for the partnership are far less certain.

On June 15, a month-long border standoff between Chinese and Indian forces escalated into a bloody conflict. A week later, former National Security Advisor John Bolton released his tell-all book revealing troubling positions taken by President Trump on China. In this episode, Paul Haenle spoke with Chen Dingding, professor of international relations at Jinan University and founding director of the Intellisia Institute, to better understand how these developments are being viewed in China and analyze their implications for the U.S.-China relationship and upcoming presidential elections.

There was plenty to digest from China's coronavirus-delayed 'Two Sessions' (Lianghui) annual political gathering last week - so much so that we've got a bumper episode for you. The new national security law for Hong Kong is what's grabbed most of the headlines, but eyebrows were raised too by the absence of an annual growth target for the country, for the first time in many years. In the latest of our socially distanced podcasts, Andrew and Vincent are joined by guests from the UK, the Netherlands and China. Professor Shaun Breslin of the University of Warwick, and Professor Dingding Chen (@ChenDingding) of Jinan University in Guangzhou discuss the political fallout from the meeting. And then Dr Jue Wang (@JueWangLeiden) takes us through what the Lianghui revealed about China's economy, and how it's faring in a pandemic-stricken world.

A Challenge to Fox's Medical Expert Dr. Marc Siegel Gary Null PhD, May 4, 2020   Last Friday evening, Fox's Tucker Carlson Show invited his favorite physician, Dr. Marc Siegel from New York University's medical school, on his program.  Dr. Siegel is a regular contributor on the COVID19 pandemic for Fox.  He made an emphatic statement that Vitamin C plays no role in the prevention and treatment of coronavirus despite evidence to the contrary.  Instead he emphasized the need for new medications and a vaccine.  It is expected that a COVID19 vaccine will be fast tracked through the FDA so it becomes available more rapidly.  CNBC News has already reported that White House advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci and other US health officials are collaborating with the drug company Moderna to fast track its COVID19 vaccine that is now in development. In order to expedite medical interventions that are determined to be critical, the FDA permits fast tracking, which lightens the otherwise rigorous clinical trial process and lessens the requirement of long-term assessment to properly evaluate a drug's or vaccine's efficacy and safety. According to DrugWatch, many fast tracked drugs have resulted in black box warnings, an FDA flagging of a product as carrying serious adverse risks after its approval and licensure. Therefore, we want to challenge Tucker's guest Dr. Siegel. Either they are both uninformed about the peer-review medical literature in the National Library of Medicine and the countless positive patient results from physicians using complementary medicine and Vitamin C therapy for over 5 decades to treat infectious illnesses, including HIV and respiratory infections or they are in denial.   This may be intentional neglect – making a concerted choice to refuse to acknowledge something in order to avoid contradicting personally held beliefs. We hope that Tucker and Siegel will be open to interview doctors and patients who have defeated viral infections by non-drug regimens and without vaccination.  There are over 2,600 studies listed in the National Institutes of Health PubMed database specifically addressing Vitamin C therapy and supplementation to prevent and treat infectious diseases; most of these concern respiratory infections. Below are some of the more important studies, especially regarding the importance of Vitamin C for strengthening the innate and adaptive immune systems.

In recent months, telecommunications companies in the United States have purchased a new part of the spectrum for use in 5G cellphone networks. Weather forecasters are concerned that these powerful signals could swamp out weaker signals from water vapor—which are in a nearby band and important for weather prediction. Freelance science writer Gabriel Popkin joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about the possible impact of cellphone signals on weather forecasting and some suggested regulations. In other weather news this week, Sarah talks with Pengfei Yu, a professor at Jinan University in Guangzhou, China, about his group's work using a huge smoke plume from the 2017 wildfires in western Canada as a model for smoke from nuclear bombs. They found the wildfire smoke lofted itself 23 kilometers into the stratosphere, spread across the Northern Hemisphere, and took 8 months to dissipate, which line up with models of nuclear winter and suggests these fires can help predict the results of a nuclear war.

In Chinese culture, as in most other cultures, whom you know is often more important than what you know, and social networks of relatives, friends, or local links are recognized as important to cultivate for help in job hunting, career promotion, or gathering and disseminating information. In developed economies, it's called “networking,” or informal exchanges of business cards and ideas with like-minded people in social settings. In the Peoples Republic of China, and among the Chinese diaspora, it's called “guanxi”—whom to call when something needs to be done, in an exchange of favors or potential influence—and it has long played a crucial role in facilitating informal credit activities.

Peer-to-peer or P2P lending is a way of financing debt online so that people can borrow and lend money without going through a financial institution, like a bank. P2P, also known as social lending or crowd lending, has no need for a middleman and has emerged as an alternative to traditional lending institutions around the world. An Asian Development Bank Institute study using data from Renrendai, one of the largest P2P lending platforms in the People's Republic of China, found something interesting about the use of punctuation marks in P2P lending. Who would have thought that the number of punctuation marks used in borrowers' text could influence funding probability, borrowing rate, and default of loans in the peer-to peer lending market?

The Chinese in Africa/Africans in China Research Network aims to strengthen and widen the reach of emerging cross-regional communities of research and practice in the area of China-Africa studies. Originally established in 2007 as a small research working group at the Centre for Sociological Research, at the University of Johannesburg, the Research Network has grown rapidly to become a global network of researchers and practitioners. It provides a dynamic, virtual platform where members meet, debate, inquire, and stay in touch. Hosts Winslow Robertson and Lina Benabdallah (who are members of the Network) wanted to look at the Network's most recent outreach efforts and invited Dr. Tu Hyunh, who is the cofounder of the Network as well as a recent postdoctoral fellow at Jinan University on the pod to discuss these efforts.
