Subject Anti-monopoly rules and enforcement in China. Significance Beijing late last year consolidated its anti-monopoly authorities within a single organisation, the State Administration for Market Regulation. Impacts The internet economy will be a major focus of future legislation and anti-monopoly action. Regulators will seek a balance between protecting intellectual property and preventing foreign companies charging excessive licensing fees. Anti-monopoly regulations may be used more selectively and aggressively if economic tensions with the United States are not de-escalated.

China has issued eight mandatory national standards so far to regulate the water efficiency of household products. The State Administration for Market Regulation performs national spot checks yearly on products qualities, which includes water efficiency, meantime it required market regulation bureaucracies of regional levels to strengthen inspection of energy and water efficiency labels from 2019. However, those two levels of inspection neither focus on water efficiency standards nor cover all eight categories of products. Furthermore, there is still space to improve in term of supervision effectiveness, efficiency and database management. For those reasons, this article aims to clarify the deficiencies and propose corresponding advice on the supervision system.

Abstract. Women have a minority position within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and, consequently, are likely to face more adversities at work. This diary study takes a look at a facilitating factor for women’s research performance within academia: daily work engagement. We examined the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between two behaviors (i.e., daily networking and time control) and daily work engagement, as well as its effect on the relationship between daily work engagement and performance measures (i.e., number of publications). Results suggest that daily networking and time control cultivate men’s work engagement, but daily work engagement is beneficial for the number of publications of women. The findings highlight the importance of work engagement in facilitating the performance of women in minority positions.
