    Effects of Canceling the Policy of 44% Limitation on the First Day of Chinese Stock Market

    The 44% limitation policy has long been a subject that has attracted researchers from a diverse range of fields including corporate finance, economics, and the stock market since it caused a couple of effects on the Chinese stock market and reflected the major buyers of stocks.

To conclude, canceling the policy of 44% limitation of stock gains is effective. It is able to diminish the monopoly of the investment bank. Besides, retail investors are allowed to have more chances to buy the stock on the first day, which means the investment circumstance becomes more balanced.

    Graphic Cards Supply Chain Problems During COVID-19

    The pandemic had generated various impacts towards businesses due to its effects towards the supply chain. One of the most substantially impacted sector was the graphic card supply chain.As such, the main aim of this study would be to investigate the impact of the pandemic towards the supply chain of graphic cards and how to mitigate similar problems in the future. In this endeavor, the author would adopt a qualitative research approach, focusing on narrative analysis of various news articles and studies on the impact of pandemics on supply chains. The data for this study would be mostly obtained through internet searches, focusing on a combination of various news websites and empirical studies obtained from Google Scholar's database. Accordingly, the results of this study indicate that the problem in the graphic card supply chain was mainly caused by the mistaken predictions of the graphic card producers that caused them to reduce their inventories in the face of rising consumer demands, which is caused mainly by the inability of the producers to switch their suppliers due to the centralized and small nature of the producers in the industry.

    Comparison of Investment Banking Models in the US and China

    Investment banks in the United States first emerged in the early 19th century, with a focus on securities underwriting. Compared with other countries, the United States investment banks were established earlier, and after the subprime crisis, the United States investment banks, through their own exposure to business problems, improved so that they have a more perfect regulatory system and a more advanced business model. As a result, in the process of developing its own business, China's investment banks should take the essence and discard the dross in order to find a suitable development direction for themselves, gaining recognition in the capital market construction and promoting the further improvement of China's international status. This paper uses literature analysis and comparative analysis to explore the differences between the operating models of investment banks in China and the US, and to provide insights and suggestions for the development of Chinese investment banks. The study finds that investment banks in China should expand the attribution model, thereby increasing the concentration of capital. At the same time, the proportion of securities brokerage business should be adjusted and the leverage ratio in the industry should be strictly controlled to avoid excessive internal consumption.

    The Introversion of Education: The Landing Dilemma of the Double Reduction Policy and Its Countermeasures

    A major issue in today's society is the "double reduction," and some studies have discovered that in recent years, the "education in-volume" has progressively gotten worse, leading to the emergence of school districts with exorbitant rents and the growth of training institutions. The implementation of the "double reduction" program is thus urgently needed. The policy's mechanism and its impacts on the ground, however, are not yet fully understood. The "double reduction" policy's effects and possible responses are the subject of this paper's investigation. The following describes the study methodology used in this paper: first, the author polled primary and secondary school students in Fuzhou on their opinions of the "double reduction" policy's actual implementation impact, level of satisfaction, and potential for improvement. The study's findings demonstrated that the "double reduction" policy may be effectively implemented by constructing a diverse evaluation system and offering many options for students' achievement. The study's findings demonstrate that the "double reduction" has a favorable effect on reducing the load on students and parents and can successfully address issues with the "school district" and uneven distribution of educational resources.

    Elements Affect Japan GDP Growth

    After a severe economic crisis, the Japanese economy entered a recessionary phase. Since the 1990 bubble economy, consumption, investment, and export became essential factors to support Japan GDP growth. This paper is supported by data collected by the International Financial Statistics (the base year is the 2015 Japanese Yen). Therefore, this paper also applies the Hodrick-Prescott filter to extract the cyclical rate of change of the variables and analyze the de-trend correlation of each factor with GDP. This method estimates the best-fitting directional line from a frequently fluctuating data set. According to the analysis, Japan's GDP remained generally unchanged with a slight increase after the bubble crisis, which again proved the country's economic stagnation. However, Japan's exports grew significantly this year, effectively giving a short-term increase in GDP. In addition, consumption has the least fluctuation with GDP, and focusing on the development of consumption can bring stable long-term growth to GDP. In summary, this paper analyzes and argues that factors of production such as consumption and exports may get Japan out of this predicament.

    Dilemma and Countermeasures to National Security Review in M&A by Chinese Companies in the US

    The national security review is an inescapable area for foreign investors to invest in the US. In recent years, the number of CFIUS reviews of cross-border mergers and acquisitions has been on the rise, as well as the number of vetoes, reflecting concerns that the US may lose its global leadership. At a time when competition between the US, and China is intensifying, CFIUS has shown a natural hostility towards Chinese investors, and the situation for Chinese companies in the US is not promising, with a higher rate of failed M&A than in other countries. This has seriously impacted Chinese direct investment in the US. This paper suggests that the reasons for this problem are twofold. On the one hand, there is the deviant treatment of Chinese companies by CFIUS. On the other hand, Chinese companies have their reasons for failing to enter the US including the fact that most of their acquisitions occur in sensitive areas involving national security and ignoring the CFIUS review process. Based on this, this paper argues that Chinese companies should not only formulate a clear M&A strategy before the M&A process but also take the initiative to negotiate with CFIUS and seek judicial remedies when necessary.
