The ＂Green Dam＂ Controversy

THE Chinese government＇s decision to battle harmful information online through the direct installation of software filters on PCs, got a somewhat tepid response from hardware manufacturers and met with outright skepticism from the media and netizens. There is doubt the package that is meant to sort out and reject socially unacceptable sites will actually work, so the government is taking some criticism about what many regard as an error of judgment.     

So Much to Learn

Low-carbon Economy： Developments and Prospects

IN an age increasingly plagued by global warming and dwindling natural resources, the development of a low-carbon economy is a real and pressing challenge for any country. The task of greenhouse gas emission reduction is especially arduous for a big developing country like China.

Balance Game

China has acted swiftly and resolutely to recover the brisk economic growth it has enjoyed in the past five years. But growth is not everything. Analysts fret that the government's spending spree may complicate the country's efforts to edge toward a consumption-driven economy. What should we do to prevent the economy from falling off a cliff and at the same time switch the mix of growth from exports and investment to consumption?

In Memory of Jordan M. Phillips - China＇s ＂American Bethune＂

IN the vocabulary of the Chinese, ＂Bethune＂ is the ultimate synonym for the noble figure.Norman Bethune＇s reputation was made in the anti-Japanese war period when the Canadian physician trudged the frontiers under heavy gunfire to treat the great many Chi- nese wounded. Adding virtual martyrdom to his heroic qualities, Bethune eventually died in the anti-fascist battlefield, from exhaustion and complications contracted from surgery. ＂What kind of spirit is this,＂ asked Mao Zedong in his famous 1939 article ＂In memory of Norman Bethune,＂ ＂that makes a foreigner selflessly adopt the cause of the Chinese people＇s liberation as his own？＂     

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Work Worth Doing： From Honorable to Profitable

THE social and economic evolution of China over the past 60 years has brought many changes to how Chinese people view work, and the personal matter of selecting an occupation or calling. Initially, occupations fell into a kind of scale, rising from initial positions as workers and servicemen, to businessmen, entertainers and intellectuals. In more recent years, the social and technological advances of the new economy have increased the demand for skilled and creative work, new and transferred technical specialities, and emerging public service roles. A so-called ＂good job,＂ based on purely political and social factors, is a notion that has had to move over as Chinese people enjoy more freedom of choice. Multiple standards, including economic factors, now carve out the territory of work worth doing. Options in career paths have never been greater.
