This study aims at probing how the academia has viewed US-China relations from 2008 to 2020. From the global financial crisis to “Pivot to Asia” policy to the Sino-US trade war, the historical context has created developments that impact the scholarly interpretation on US-China relations. While inevitably non-exhaustive, this paper still attempts to reveal if there exists a scholarly consensus of US-China relations from two well-recognized sources by sorting out the trend and elaborating on several phenomenally influential articles.

The notion of food is a simplistic yet nuanced concept. On one hand, food is something we consume on a daily basis to survive. On the other, food in our world has become representations of different cultures, societies and and even a vehicle to understand global political conditions. This research project explores the question, how have geopolitical and sociocultural forces around the world affected regional cuisines throughout history?

Intimate partner violence is a major public health issue. Some women choose to stay in the violent relationship. Both psychological impact of violence, such as learned helplessness, and rational consideration of objective factors, such as economic resources, have been suggested as explanations. We investigated the influence of violence on Chinese women’s perception of their ability to leave the relationship. We found out that first, women relatively underestimated their ability to leave more when they have undergone more domestic violence and have a lower sense of control. Second, the experience of past violent intimate relationships predicts the violence of the current one.
