This paper addresses the zero-sum of soft power against the backdrop of the rise of China and the relative "decline" of America. It attempts to find out that whether the "decline" of America's soft power is caused by the rise of China's soft power, and whether China's rise could guarantee with certainty the growth of soft power. In light of the particularity of South Korea, that is, its economy relies on China and its security relies on the US, this paper chooses South Korea as the entry point for the study. Based on the Pew data from a South Korean opinion poll, this paper conducts bivariate correlation and binary logistic regression respectively, to explore the existence of zero-sum "competitions" between China's and America's soft power.

China and North America have been South Korea's biggest trading partner long time. As the volume of trade has been increasing, the disputes between Korean companies and Chinese Companies and between Korean companies and North American Companies have been increasing. If these disputes are settled by Arbitration, the parties appoint arbitrators who are empowered to proceed the arbitration procedure and have a power to render an arbitral award. Accordingly, it is very important for the parties to select who is an arbitrators in Arbitration. But if the parties doubt their arbitrator(s)'s fairness and independency, they can discharge them in accordance to law and arbitration institute's rules. In comparison with arbitrator system for way of selection and discharge among Korea, China and North America, some differences are found. First, if parties fail to appoint co-arbitrators or the presiding arbitrator by a mutual agreement, the court has the right to appoint them or him in Korea and North America whereas the Chairman of CIETAC choose him in China. Second, the authority to decide whether arbitrator is discharged owing to his fairness and independency, depends on arbitration institute and court in Korea and North American whereas it depends on the Chairman of CIETAC only.

The purpose of this study lies in touching the study trend of Chinese education technology through the analysis on present situation of the study in Chinese education technology, and is to suggest the direction for the its further study and development. In order to achieve these kinds of study purpose, the frames have been set to grasp the features and trend of Chinese educational technology in such as 4 aspects of educational technology definition, curriculum and the cultivation of genuine individuals, study zone aspect and the method, and in order to grasp, in the comparison with the countries of advanced educational technology such as Korea, America etc., the progressive features and the trend of development of Chinese educational technology have been analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it has been found that Chinese educational technology has the different features in the study and development of educational technology of Korea and America in the abovementioned 4aspects. First, in the education technology comprehension, it differs from Korea, Japan and America, and understands the technology as a skill. Consequently, in either study or actuality, it seems puts more emphasis on skills (moreover, the aspect of hardware). Second, in the aspect of curriculum and the cultivation of the genuine individuals, gives preponderance to science aspect, and the unclear distinction between the education technology and the computer science makes that the true character of educational technology is not clear. Third, when speaking of study fields and study methods, those of china is a little behind of the advanced nations of the educational engineering, Korea, America and so on. And in the range of study, China is following the international tendency but when it comes to the depth of study and quality is very far from perfect. In the aspect of study method, the theoretical study, design study and development study are occupying mostly, and it is hardly to see the existence about actual proof study, and in this aspect, it is quite different than that of Korea and America. And it is judged that it is related with the traditional educational ideology and the academic study tradition, the cultural air and the features of economical development of China.

Korea's domestic construction market and overseas construction order environment are experiencing a decreasing trend, and this trend is expected to continue. Therefore, domestic construction companies are seeking to enter the global construction market. This study analyzes the global construction market and the global competitiveness for global construction companies and provides the results. To this end, this study has developed a model to evaluate the global construction competitiveness level and to evaluated global construction competitiveness in 2016. The evaluation of global construction competitiveness was analyzed based on the competitiveness of construction infrastructure by country, and the evaluation results of competitiveness of construction companies. These assessments were based on 20 detailed international statistics (ENR, Global Insight, Compass, etc.). The evaluation results are as follows. First, in regard to the comprehensive global construction competitiveness by country, America ranked first among 20 countries, followed by China. European countries like Spain, Germany and the Netherlands ranked third to fifth, respectively. Korea ranked sixth, one rank higher than that of the previous year. America and European countries remain strong. Second, in regard to the comprehensive building infrastructure competitiveness by country, America ranked first followed by Germany. Korea ranked twelfth, which is the same rank as that of the previous year. When it comes to stability in the construction market, China ranked first and Korea eighth. For construction systems, Sweden ranked first and Korea thirteenth, and for infrastructure, Japan ranked first and Korea tenth. Third, according to the construction company's capability evaluation by country, America ranked first followed by China. Korea ranked fourth, two ranks higher than that of the previous year because of its building competitiveness (fifth → fourth) and design competitiveness (eleventh → eighth) which has improved. When it comes to building competitiveness, China ranked first and Korea fourth. For design competitiveness, America ranked first and Korea eighth, and for price competitiveness, India ranked first and Korea seventh. However, Korea is still in the middle of the pack rank among the 20 countries considered when it comes to design competitiveness. It is ranked eleventh for design productivity and thirteenth for foreign sales against the total sales (internationalization). Thus, Korea needs to improve technical power and tap into new markets for improved competitiveness, including increased productivity. To do so, more R&D investment is required.

The present study was carried out to compare the composition of major essential oil components in the flue-cured tobacco produced by Korea, America, China, Brazil and Zimbabwe. Above 100 essential oil components were separated by GC and major 18 components of them, known to be important contributors to flue-cured tobacco flavor and smoke taste, were identified by GC/MS. Neophytadiene was major in quantities in the oils mostly and its composition in flue-cured tobacco produced by Korea, America, Zimbabwe, Brazil, and Unnam and Yenji region of China was 26.82\%,\;25.17\%,\;26.50\%,\;16.92\%,\;and\;18.75\%\;and\;14.87\%$, respectively. Megastigmatrienone, one of the major tobacco carotenoid degradation products was contained above $10\%$ in the oils of flue-cured tobacco produced by Korea and America, but, it was comprised about $5.66\%$ to 8.00 in Brazil, Zimbabwe, and Unnam and Yenji region of China. Damascenone is important to the aroma of tobacco as a crotenoid degradation products. Its amount in the oils was $3.31\%\;in\;Brazil,\;3.13\%\;in\;America,\;2.57\%\;in\;Zimbabwe,\;2.54%$ in Yenji of China, $2.00\%$ in Korea and $1.85\%$ in Unnam of China. These results can furnish the basic information capable of evaluating the quality value of flue-cured tobacco produced by various nations.

Even though Sino-American relations of the Donald Trump era were perceived as predominately confrontational, with a symbolic trade war between the two, the scale of economic interdependencies between the United States and China results in either a need for collaboration or in serious losses on both sides in the case of lack of cooperation. The paper aims at analyzing economic relations between the United States of America and the People's Republic of China at the time of the Trump presidency. Analysis is based on the complex interdependence theory of Robert Keohane and Joseph Nye. The main hypothesis analyzed in the paper states: Asymmetric interdependence between the People's Republic of China and the United States of America limits the scope, intensity and length of a trade war. For the sake of the paper, economic interdependence will be analyzed. Apart from the reference to the state of the art, the document analysis and descriptive statistics are to be applied in the paper.

본 연구는 환구시보 4월 7일 "용타항미원조적의지타대미무역전(用打抗美援朝的意志打對美貿易戰)" 사설에 대하여 비판적 담화분석의 접근법을 활용하여 텍스트 기술, 상호텍스트성, 사회문화적 수행 설명으로 구분하여 분석하였다. 본 사설은 '전쟁(戰爭)'과 관련된 어휘와 프레임을 집중적으로 사용하고 있다. 첫째, "무역전(貿易戰)"과 "항미원조(抗美援朝)"는 은유와 전쟁프레임을 보여주는 예이다. 둘째, "전략(戰略)"은 미국과 중국에 각각 부정적, 긍정적으로 사용되고 있다. 셋째, 다양한 전쟁 용어가 사용되었다. 넷째, '인유법(引喩法)'을 살펴보면, 전쟁관련 표현이 보인다. 본 사설의 상호텍스트성에서 두 가지 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, 환구시보가 '대등한 보복'을 줄곧 사용하고 있다. 이유는 자신의 반격을 정당화하고, 그런 중국이 하는 전쟁은 '자위적 차원의 반격전(自衛反擊戰)'이 되도록 포장해주기 위함이다. 둘째, '싸우기는 싫은데, 싸움이 두렵지는 않다'라는 표현이 여러 사설에서 반복되었다. 그 이유는 다음과 같다. (1) 인민의 결집을 호소. (2) 공포심을 일으켜, 그들이 결집해야만 하는 이유를 암암리에 부여. (3) "두렵지 않다"를 통해 중국은 체면을 차리고, 미국에게는 "싸우기 싫다"는 '싸인'을 보내기 위함이다. 맥락상 같은 논지가 약 3개월(2018.03.23.-06.17)의 시간차를 두고 9개 사설에서 비슷한 표현으로 보이는 것은 상호텍스트성의 예라 할 것이다. 본 사설의 사회문화적 수행은 중국 정부의 패권 이데올로기를 전파함에 있다. 첫째, 핵심 국책사업 '중국제조(中國製造)2025'는 절대 포기할 수 없음을 분명히 밝힌 것이다. 둘째, 사설은 "항미원조(抗美援朝)"를 소명하여 미국을 비난 협박하고, 민심의 이반을 다독이며 결집을 호소, 시진핑 정부에 힘을 실어 주고자 하는 의도이다. 셋째, 중국은 미국과의 협상의 여지를 열어두고자 하고 있다.

미국과 중국에서 발간된 한국전쟁 사진화보집을 비교 분석하여, 각 사진화보집이 전달하고자 하는 한국전쟁의 의미와 그 의미를 사진으로 표상하는 방식의 차이를 살펴보았다. 분석대상으로 선택된 사잔화보집은 1954년에 미국 해외참전용사협회에서 발간한 Pictorial History of the Koran War와 1959년 중국 해방군화보사에서 발간한 "광영적중국인민지원군(光榮的中國人民志願軍)"이다. 한국전쟁 사진화보집에 대한 분석은 한국전쟁에 관한 공식적인 기억의 내용을 알 수 있는 하나의 방법이 될 수 있다. 분석 결과, 한국전쟁에 대한 미국과 중국의 인식이 다른 만큼, 사진을 통해 표현되는 한국전쟁의 기억도 매우 다름을 알 수 있었다. 미국에서 발간된 Pictorial History the Korean War에서는 한국전쟁에 대한 일관된 스토리를 찾아보기 어려웠고, 우세한 전쟁 상황을 사진을 통해 객관적으로 보여주려 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 개별 사진들도 상징성보다는 기록성이 강한 사진의 특성을 보여주었다. 이에 비해 중국에서 발간된 "광영적중국인민지원군(光榮的中國人民志願軍)"에서는 한국전쟁에 관한 일관된 스토리를 찾을 수 있었고, 그 내용은 한국전쟁 참전의 정당성을 주장하는 것이었다. 개별 사진을 분석한 결과에서는 이데올로기적 신념을 시각화하는 상징성이 강한 사진의 특성을 발견할 수 있었다. 이를 통해 우리가 시각적으로 기억하는 전쟁이 사실은 현재의 관점에서 구성되고 재해석된 것임을 알 수 있다.

Economic development is remarkable in Asia and progress of industrialization of NIES, ASEAN, and China in East Asia has increased the international physical distribution in this area. However, an imbalance of trade becomes severe in these areas. The imbalance is especially big in the Asia-North America route and the Japan-China route. The imbalance in the Asia -North America liner route is 5.04 million TEUS in 2002.The transportation ratio of loaded containers between China and Japan route is approximately 3:1 in 2000. In other words, it means that the transportation of loaded containers from China to Japan is 3, the transportation of loaded containers from Japan to China is I. The imbalance at a port is generally obtained by subtracting export loaded container cargo volume from import container cargo volume. However, the imbalance and the empty containers at the port are not always same. Then, in order to evaluate rationalization and efficiency of maritime container transportation, we introduce the amount of empty containers at a port as an evaluation index. However, the past data of the amount of handling empty containers have a lot of lacking portions. Then, it is necessary to estimate the past amount of empty containers in order to grasp the amount of empty containers historically. So, we construct the model that estimates the amount of empty containers using the imbalance of main port statistics in Japan.
