Papers by Yuen Ying Chan
p.112-115, Reports from the Road, "Brave News Worlds: Navigating the New Media Landscape"
p.159-163, The Environment and Natural Disasters, "Global Muckraking: 100 Years of Investigative Journalism from Around the World"
This study provides the first quantitative overview of transnational cooperative activities in China, part of a series of studies we plan in order to explore educational and cultural trends, along with labor skills and financial impacts of TNE training in China.
Analyzing data from the Ministry of Education (MOE), cooperative program websites, and direct inquiries to program admissions officers, we identify patterns in the origins and nature of foreign partner institutions, hosting provinces, majors and models of study, and degrees awarded. Further, as the first comprehensive mapping of Sino-international programs, we have identified anomalies in TNE distribution not reported in the literature; for example, the highest number of programs is in Heilongjiang, a less developed province in Northeast, while industrialized Guangdong, paradoxically, hosts only 2.4% of China’s TNE. Our data also suggest that cooperative programs cluster on the populous East Coast, raising questions of how China will offer equal opportunities for international education in less populated provinces.
Methods Based on the WHO media guidelines, this study investigated the characteristics of newspaper articles of suicides in three Chinese communities, namely Hong Kong, Taiwan and Guangzhou. Epidemiological comparisons were conducted to identify the age and gender differences between the suicide victims as reported in the newspapers and the official records of suicide deaths in all three places.
