This article aims to analyze China’s conception of the 21st century international order and its feasibility through examination of the perspectives of China’s major schools of international relations theory and verification through strategy. To this end, this article examines the feasibility of China’s vision of international order through the overlapping of theories and strategies by comparing and analyzing the arguments of China’s major schools of international relations and China’s foreign strategies in the 2011 White Paper on China’s Peaceful Development and the 2023 White Paper on Global Community of Shared Future. It then examines the feasibility of China’s envisioned international order through an analysis of the United States’ perceptions of China and the 21st-century international order, the founder and supporter of the existing international order. The result of the study finds that Chinese international relations theories commonly criticize the problems of the current international order through theories based on China’s own political culture, believing that China should play a constructive role in reforming the existing international order. The two white papers also criticize the problems of the existing international relations theory and governance ideology, and try to reform them based on China’s unique cultural concepts and experiences. However, it is unlikely that the reform of the international order in the 21st century will be carried out in accordance with China’s international relations theory and strategy, given the limitations of China’s international relations theory itself and the strategy of the United States, the dominant power that has established and maintained the existing international order.

This text aims to supplement the analysis of success factors for Chinese unicorn companies. Since China has distinct characteristics of a high-context culture and a socialist country, even unicorn companies should interpret the success factors by considering the role and weight of each factor in their relationship with the government. Therefore, the text urges the analysis of the university factor, especially the prestigious university factor, among the success factors of unicorn companies from a new perspective that reflects the characteristics of China. The text reorganized the meaning of prestigious universities based on literature on the development history of Chinese universities and government policies related to the development of science and technology. In other words, the factors of prestigious universities in China are not independent factors, but act as key factors in connecting and mobilizing various social resources that cannot be dismissed as individual human resources. Another introduced the background of how the factors of prestigious universities lowered the threshold and closely connected alumni when looking for partners in the process of technology development for startups or investment partners for growth with unicorns. And we examined in detail through the case of prestigious universities where entrepreneurship incubation is active. Of course, the proportion of human and social resources varies from university to university, but what is clear is that the factor of the prestigious university was a factor that complexly influenced the growth of unicorn companies. Therefore, future related research should first examine and explain how the university affected the human and social resources of the founder in detail.

The information protected under HIPAA law is known as Protected Health Information – a subset of individually identifiable health information that is protected under HIPAA law when it is created, received, maintained, or transmitted by a covered entity. Individually identifiable non-health information is also protected under HIPAA law when it is maintained in the same designated record set as Protected Health Information. The Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) consist of five Titles, each with their own set of HIPAA laws. Four of the five sets of HIPAA compliance laws are straightforward and cover topics such as the portability of healthcare insurance between jobs, the coverage of persons with pre-existing conditions, and tax provisions for medical savings accounts. However, Title II – the section relating to administrative simplification, preventing healthcare fraud and abuse, and medical liability reform – is far more complicated. It contains subsets of HIPAA laws which sometimes overlap with each other and several of the provisions in Title II have been modified, updated, or impacted by subsequent acts of legislation. In this paper, we will examine recent cases that the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) determined to have violated HIPAA. Through this, we would like to propose a plan to ensure that personal information protection laws, including the Personal Information Protection Act, are effectively guaranteed in Korea as well.
