There has been a proliferation in recent years of bilingual inflight magazines in the Greater China region, which indirectly serve the leisure industry, providing readers on and off airplanes with non-specialist information of an entertaining nature. This paper is a preliminary study of bilingual magazines published in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan, in which attention will be paid to: (a) the stages of production, (b) their translation strategies and (c) their modes of presentation. Two questions interest us most. First, what are the specific means whereby the effects of these multi-modal texts are achieved? The second question concerns the mechanics of operation in bilingual magazine publishing. This research will show the complex interaction of several parties as well as the blending of different modes of translating in the production of bilingual inflight magazines. Our findings should help researchers and practitioners in the field understand translation production in a different context from those to which they have been accustomed.

As the economics within Greater China become more internally linked together, it becomes increasingly important to understand the nuances of each culture encompassed by this term. There is very little comparing the negotiation styles of Chinese who live in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China among themselves. To fill the gap, the present research focuses on negotiations style comparison by gender among Chinese in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China. The population was chosen from public companies listed under the stock markets. Data was collected using an online survey technique. SPSS was used to conduct data analyses, and a variety of statistical measures were used, including descriptive statistics and MANOVA, and coefficient alphas was reported for modified instruments in order to address reliability and validity of the instrument. The study found that only the factual negotiation style showed a significant relationship with gender among the three regions. The researcher suggests that the negotiators still need to be trained in body language, strategies, temper control, international manners, and customs. A better knowledge of negotiation should be helpful in understanding business and in realizing which negotiation styles are most appropriate for a particular country. The appropriate negotiation skills can bring more competitive advantages and benefits.

The tension between immigrants from Mainland China and Hong Kong locals has intensified in recent years. Using an original telephone survey that interviewed a representative sample of the Hong Kong population, this article evaluates three major explanations—economic self-interest, sociotropic concerns and psychological dispositions—for anti-immigrant sentiments. The findings suggest that negative attitudes toward immigrants are significantly related to sociotropic concerns. More importantly, such concerns are more prevalent among respondents who have a strong “Hong Konger” identity. Overall, this article presents new evidence for evaluating the relative influence of different factors in the formation of immigration attitudes in the Greater China region.

The consumption and sustainability of packaging are significant concerns. With development of the division of labor during economic globalization, packaging issues are viewed differently in different regions. This study focused on the Greater China region, which has recently experienced rapid economic growth. Bibliometric analyses were performed using data from two Chinese academic databases, CNKI-CAJD of Mainland China and CEPS of Taiwan; 24,790 journal papers on packaging published between 1989 and 2019 were investigated using keyword co-occurrence analyses and cluster maps. The history of research on packaging in Greater China is summarized and the research areas are categorized into five common subjects: design and consumption assessment, marketing and image packaging, food packaging, special item packaging, and structure and materials. Among these subjects, CNKI-CAJD mostly focuses on industrial applications in packaging institutions and industry, division of labor in the packaging industry, and foreign trade commodity packaging, while CEPS focuses on diversified aspects of green design and education in packaging and environmental protection and packaging development. The results map out Chinese research on packaging and can serve as a reference for applying environmental sustainability in the packaging field.
