As the key venture under the Sino-Singapore (Chongqing) Strategic Connectivity Demonstration Project, the third government-to-government (G-to-G) cooperation project between China and Singapore, the International Land-Sea Trade Corridor (ILSTC, previously known as the Southern Transport Corridor), has raised high expectations since it was officially launched in September 2017.1 The corridor seeks to reduce transaction costs for businesses by providing them with connectivity options, including highway, river, railway, and air links, to promote cooperation in the priority sectors of financial services, aviation, logistics and transport, and ICT. The ILSTC has made some progress over the last two years, with the two countries expanding the breadth and depth of their cooperation, including connecting more transportation lines and increasing the scale of freight transport. Official statistics show that as of 30 June 2020, the ILSTC has been extended to 234 ports in 92 countries and regions around the world, including Singapore.2 With a steady increase in the participation, the construction of the ILSTC appears to have gotten off to a good start, although there remain a number of key challenges.

The rumors that Lenin was a "German spy" first appeared in Petrograd after the February revolution in Russia. During the Soviet period, the "Sisson documents" (papers) were fabricated in the United States and other Western countries, and other evidence was sought that Lenin was allegedly an "agent" of the German government. However, all the evidence presented were convincingly refuted. V. I. Lenin's "German spy" case was discussed again during the collapse of the Soviet Union and in post-Soviet Russia. In some Russian media, political and academic circles, this "case" was reproduced in various forms, but new materials and new evidences were not found.

Much research has been conducted on the effect of popularity among children and adolescents, but the popularity of adults at work has received little attention. I investigated the effects of employees' popularity on their career satisfaction, and, in regard to this relationship, the
roles of employees' knowledge, skill, and abilities (KSA) as moderators, and of their core selfevaluations as a mediator. Participants were 219 supervisor–subordinate dyads employed by 32 enterprises in China. Multiple regression analysis of the data showed that the employees' popularity
was positively related to their career satisfaction. Their KSA level moderated this relationship, so that, among employees with less KSA, popularity had a stronger effect on their career satisfaction than among those with more KSA. Employees' core self-evaluations fully mediated the moderating
effect of KSA on the relationship between popularity and career satisfaction. The findings suggest that if employees can increase their popularity, this is an effective way to improve their career satisfaction, especially for those who are low in KSA. Improvement of employees' core self-evaluations
may also directly enhance their career satisfaction.
