Talents play a key role in supporting high-quality economic development. A talent support system typically focuses on five elements: talent quantity, quality, structure, efficiency, and potential. Utilizing an entropy weight method and a coupling coordination degree model, this study analyzed the coupling coordination degree and spatial correlation between regional talent support and high-quality economic development in China utilizing panel data from 31 provinces. The results revealed that talent support is closely related to high-quality economic development. Meanwhile, the coupling coordination degree shows significant regional characteristics, being the highest in eastern China, followed by Central, Northeast, and Western China. Further, talent support in some regions changes due to changes in regional economic and social conditions. In the eastern coastal areas, high-high agglomeration is relatively stable; A few central regions show Low-High type of agglomeration; the west exhibits an increasingly Low-Low agglomeration; and the agglomeration effects in the Central and Northeastern regions is not clear. Multiple regression analysis of the five talent support elements shows that talent efficiency has max Influences on high-quality economic development, followed by talent structure, potential, and quality; however, the effect for talent quality is not as large. Building on these findings, this study finally makes policy recommendations from the perspectives of enhancing talent efficiency, structure, and potential.

This study takes HPV vaccine promotion on Chinese social media platforms (taking WeChat as a case) as the research focus. Grounded in Van Leeuwen’s theoretical framework of “discourse as the recontextualization of social practice” and O’Halloran’s multimodal recontextualization analytical model, it systematically compares multimodal strategies between an official medical guideline and a popular WeChat article in health communication. The study demonstrates that multimodal resources significantly shape public risk perception and behavioral motivation: WeChat posts enhance the accessibility and persuasiveness of health information by reducing cognitive load (e.g., simplified representation of vaccine mechanism), evoking emotional resonance (e.g., vivid illustrations of young female patients), and increasing legitimation via personifying viruses. Through the analysis, the findings reveal that official documents construct scientific authority through professional terminology, data tables, and hierarchical layouts, whereas WeChat articles employ visual metaphors (e.g., anthropomorphic virus imagery), emotional narratives, and interactive designs to reconstruct the social practice of vaccination. On the above basis, this research not only highlights the potential of multimodal discourse in digital public health interventions but also provides methodological insights for increasing public acceptance in health communication. Future studies could investigate audience’s acceptance or cross-cultural comparisons, exploring in-depth understanding of the communicative power of multimodal public health discourse.

In 1898, the British acquired the southern parts of Hsin-an County in Chinese mainland and incorporated it into the colony of Hong Kong. This newly acquired land later became known as the “New Territories”. The New Territories were home to four major ethnic groups such as the Punti, Hakka, Tanka, and Hokklo, each with their own distinct settlement patterns and historical cultural backgrounds. The desire of these indigenous villagers (particularly those with land-based communities) to assert their land rights created complexities in land administration and posed challenges for the government in acquiring land for development. The colonial government faced further resistance from indigenous landowners as the political and economic significance of indigenous lands complicated the matters. This paper aims to explore the evolution of the land administration mechanism in the New Territories by examining various types of land-related documents. It also provides reliable archival sources to guide readers in conducting further research on indigenous land-related topic in the New Territories.
