China's brain drain problem: Causes,consequences and policy options

The brain drain has become a growing problem for China's overseas education, especially after the Tiananmen Incident of June 1989. Brain drain is a symptom of a home country's social, economic, or political problems. In China, political alienation, low income, poor living conditions, insufficient research facilities, and mismanagement of high‐level manpower are the major factors pushing intellectuals to seek development opportunities abroad.

Beijing has found it difficult to bring students back home. Restrictions often anger students abroad. Family members also discourage students from returning. Many students find it difficult to adjust to the home environment after years living abroad; some are afraid that they will be punished at home for their outspoken political opinions abroad. However, Beijing has limited control over students overseas. Also, after the 1989 June crackdown, most host governments have decided to allow Chinese students to stay.

Concerned with the brain drain problem, Beijing is adjusting its policy of study abroad. There are various policy scenarios. Each has its merits and limitations, and each will lead to different consequences. Some technical solutions are also worth considering. Although a brain drain will still occur in the future, the tendency can be reduced if appropriate measures are adopted. China's future policy on overseas education depends on the future domestic situation and foreign relations. Apparently, a continued open policy of overseas education is in the interest of the students and the country. For an effective and long‐term policy, some strategic adjustments are necessary. Beijing needs to shift its attention away from the symptoms and concentrate on to the causes of the brain drain. Also, Beijing needs to redesign its future strategy to balance the benefits and costs of overseas education, instead of attempting to eliminate the brain drain.

The brain drain is not permanent. More professionals will return home as the economic and political situation significantly improves. The experience of Taiwan and South Korea in coping with their brain drain problem is a valuable reference for Beijing.     

浅论法律解释的溯及力

法律解释的溯及力是指新的法律解释颁布后对其颁布前的事件和行为是否适用的问题。法律解释具有客观性,是对法律在具体运用过程中的细化,是对法律规范本身含义所作的说明,在解释过程不能创建新的法律规范。法律解释的效力应以溯及既往为原则,以不溯及既往为例外。

我国上市公司股权集中模式下的股权制衡问题——兼议大小非解禁带来的股权结构转型契机

实证分析表明,大小非解禁虽然已持续近两年的时间,但我国上市公司现阶段的股权结构总体上仍呈现出高度集中的特点。然而,变革中的市场、法律和政治所形成的合力将推动我国上市公司的股权结构总体上从高度集中模式向相对集中模式逐渐转型。我国上市公司现阶段高度集中的股权结构阻碍了公司内部治理机制以及市场机制作用的有效发挥,引发了较为严重的公司治理问题,股权结构的转型为公司治理问题的缓解提供了契机。相对集中的股权结构有多种类型,比较而言,既有控股股东又有制衡股东的股权结构更有助于改善公司治理绩效,因此,它应当成为大小非解禁过程中政策引导的目标。

描述性商标的判断标准——兼评中国葡萄酒业知识产权案

描述性商标是以描述商品或服务特点的词汇构成的商标。描述性商标在未获得第二含义之前不得作为商标注册，一方面是基于其先天的显著性不足，另一方面是为了维护市场公平竞争的秩序。描述性词汇应以相关公众心目中该词汇与特定商品之间的关系作为判断依据，采取“字典含义标准”、“想象力标准”、“竞争者需要标准”和“类似产品使用标准”。描述性词汇的组成和变体是否让相关消费者产生了足以区别于原描述性词汇的印象，是认定描述性商标的基本准则。
