Reviewer 2 Report

The abstract is a bit too technical for the public and I recommend you to remodel it in places so that the comprehensiveness generates more citations

Research methods and methodology are clearly detailed to be able to follow the applicability of the research

Following the presentation of the results from Table 5. Results of spatial panel models, insert a few sentences including explanations and sociological implications

Please expand the conclusions section

Please check if all bibliographic references are included and check spelling and grammar in places

Overall, the paper is well structured and the chosen research topic is interesting.

Reviewer 3 Report

The manuscript deals with an interesting piece of work with an in-depth analysis of huge data, and I thank you for the hard work done by the Chinese authors. But the authors have ample scope to improve the manuscript, and here are my specific suggestions:

1. I think the author should specify the objectives for better understanding by the reader, and there is no need to justify the objectives at the end of the Introduction section.
2. At the end of the abstract, the authors need to make a general recommendation for worldwide readers based on their own findings.
3. The main limitation of the manuscript is poor discussion, and authors can easily reduce the conclusion section by improving the discussion parts. Make the findings simpler and discuss your findings for the readers.
4. I also suggest including a future direction for the readers in the conclusion section and summarizing the key findings precisely.

 

Good luck
