Summary: This study examines the carbon emissions of Belt and Road countries and their relationship with China's technology spillovers. Using the STIRPAT and GWTR models, the study finds that China's foreign direct investment and migration technology spillovers increase carbon emissions in Belt and Road countries, while imported technology spillovers decrease carbon emissions. Therefore, government policies on low-carbon technology should take into account regional characteristics and the impact of technology.

Summary: This study examines the carbon reduction performance of transportation along the Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) in China using data envelopment analysis. The results show that carbon reduction performance has improved due to advancements in transportation technology. Technical efficiency has a positive impact on carbon reduction, while lagging technological progress restricts carbon reduction performance. Additionally, there are regional differences in carbon reduction performance, with southwest provinces performing the best and northeast provinces performing the worst. Therefore, the government should implement technology-oriented policies to improve technical efficiency and progress in transportation, ultimately reducing carbon emissions.

Summary: The analysis of data from 17 provinces from 2006 to 2020 in China reveals that low-carbon logistics efficiency has improvement and development potential. Technological progress has a promoting effect on efficiency, while scale and pure technical efficiency hinder efficiency growth. Economic growth and industry structure have a positive effect on efficiency, while energy consumption and government expenditure are negatively correlated with efficiency.

Summary: This study aims to analyze the characteristics of carbon emissions and the trend of carbon peaking in countries along the Belt and Road, as well as the relationship between economic development and carbon emissions. The results show that some countries have already achieved carbon peaking, while most of the others have not. The approach to carbon peaking varies among different country groups due to differences in economic development level and industrial structure. The decoupling situation analysis indicates that the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions in countries along the Belt and Road has been improving in recent decades.

Summary: This research compares the application of governmental public bicycles and dockless bicycles in China, focusing on cycling destination, frequency, and factors, using Linfen City as an example. The results show that dockless bicycles are more popular for entertainment while governmental public bicycles are preferred for commuting. There is no significant difference in cycling frequency between the two types, but governmental public bicycles have lower cost advantages while dockless bicycles are more convenient in the borrowing and returning process.

Summary: The study examined the factors influencing the public's behavioral intention of dockless bike-sharing (DBS) use based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB), finding that behavioral attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control are significant factors affecting DBS use intention. Behavioral attitude was found to have the most significant impact. Policy suggestions were proposed to address issues in the main district of Lanzhou, including establishing support systems for DBS, launching shared bikes for different user groups, and implementing a feedback platform for data analysis and solutions.
