businesses, with employees’ innovative capabilities directly impacting a company’s innovation
potential. The globalization of business operations has led to the international mobility of
personnel, posing challenges related to both cross-cultural adaptation and innovation for
expatriate employees. This study primarily employing quantitative research methods, focuses
on employees in Chinese companies in Thailand and investigates the relationship between
cross-cultural adaptation and innovation behavior, as well as the role of innovation self-efficacy.

and a total of 205 valid responses were received. The research findings reveal that crosscultural adaptation has a positive impact on both employee innovation behavior and their
innovation self-efficacy. Employee innovation self-efficacy positively influences innovation
behavior, acting as a mediator between cross-cultural adaptation and innovation behavior.
Building upon these findings, this paper presents specific recommendations for enhancing
expatriate employees' cross-cultural adaptation abilities to bolster their innovation capabilities.

There are more and more cultural studies on the names of cuisines in academia, but few
studies have focused on the Chinese translations of Thai cuisines precisely, and the study of
their translation errors is still a new field. Under the guidance of translation theory, the survey
samples are analysed item by item, taking into account the characteristics of Chinese and Thai
cuisine names, categorising the problems of lexical errors, grammatical errors and aesthetic
errors, and suggesting that the causes of translation errors include the non-equivalence of
language, secondary translation errors, over-reliance on machine translation and lack of
professionals. translation suggestions were puts forward from three aspects: vocabulary,
grammar and aesthetics. On the basis of these suggestions, it should be beneficial to suggest
that government authorities provide regulation and support to the cuisine industry, the
education circle cultivates more Chinese language professionals, the cuisine community
strengthens Chinese language training, the AI translation software optimises its system, and
consumers correct errors intentionally

Improving the quality of basic education in underdeveloped regions is a global issue, and
the purpose of this study is to explore existing experiences and provide solutions that can be
used as references. China's economically impoverished province of Guizhou Province has
implemented a five-year "Double Hundred Project" project in ethnic minority areas, and the
government has provided financial funds for the construction of the project and purchased
professional services through market mechanisms. This educational program provides an
empirical basis for this research. Through the case analysis of school surveys, interviews,
classroom observations and other methods, this study conducted a policy evaluation study on
the project, and found that the well-designed "Double Hundred Project" is like "drip irrigation",
which concentrates resource advantages and accurately supports the project objects, so that
they can change the project objects in a short time; The institutional design of the third-party
professional services supporting the project has helped the project object to realize the sinking
of high-quality professional resources, and maximized the educational benefits of limited
financial funds. It has changed the routine practice of "emphasizing quantity but not
guaranteeing quality" and the disconnection between teacher training and teaching site, and
innovated the teacher training model. It provides useful reference and enlightenment for
supporting the design of high-quality basic education projects in underdeveloped areas
