Did you even read the article you quoted? Here's a quote for you. Read thoroughly and reflect on the topic of this little thread, especially the fact BJ Police has a massive Weibo following.

This shows real understanding of how the interweb works. Anyway welcome to e-Government in Web 2.0, and here's a little comparison between American and Chinese police. Beijing Police's Weibo account with 2,117,130 followers 平安北京的微博...

Chen Guangcheng is fighting a worthy fight, unfortunately he chose to associate himself with the wrong crowd.

Does this author even know the difference between patents and trademarks?

Hillary needs to learn from Aung San Suu Kyi how (not) to apply make-ups.

The way to solve Beijing's air problems? Tell people how bad it is and hope to scare them away. I grew up in Beijing and the population now is like 3 times when I was a kid. Beijing can't support this many people.

The report doesn't say 80% of government website services are not functional. It says 80% of government websites failed to provide adequate services (e.g. not enough information, not updated frequent enough).

Some journalists just don't think before they write. The 2010 Chinese study was published in NEJM, one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals. Publications like Diabetes Atlas carries much less weight, and there is no 'globe validation' given by the Diabetes Atlas figure. A 30...

Reread the post I'm replying too. I was obviously making a comparison between Sino-US ties and Sino-Indian ties.

As for how much an university degree is worth to an employer, QS actually has done some research on this very topic. QS World University Rankings - Topuniversities Peking and Tsinghua are ranked higher by employers than any other Asian universities except NUS and Tokyo. But of course...

It's better to write in Martian if you want to prevent Google translation. :azn:

I took a look at the QS individual subject ranking, and here's a couple of things I found. 1) Chinese universities are among the best in Asia in arts and humanities. In fact PKU is the only Asian university with a top 150 history department (it's ranked 19). Mainland China also made a strong...

I'm sure Chinese-Dragon can use the Shanghai Jiaotong ranking of world universities, which is every bit as reputable as the THE ranking.

To be fair, the people to people ties between US and China have been much stronger. U.S. are more willing to recognize Chinese degrees because they know what they can expect.

I think that's true in every country. A cousin of mine graduated from one of the top Canadian universities and told me she wouldn't be able to get a job in Beijing if not for my uncle's connections, as employers prefer Chinese universities over foreign ones.

Nankai and Tianjing are very good, but not top five. Tianjin University of Technology is less prestigious.

First WSJ and now WaPo. I guess I was simply expecting too much professionalism from the mainstream media. Anyway, I just want to remind everyone on this thread that the World Bank's $1.25 a day poverty line is based on purchasing power parity. Some simply Googling and calculation shows the new...

Not true. Thailand, for example, has a booming auto parts sector, which is evident in the major impact of Thai flooding on the Japanese auto industry.

This is certainly a most amusing prediction. Now the China-ASEAN free trade agreement has already came into effect for nearly two years, so pray tell, is VW winding down its operations in China and moving to ASEAN?

That will also mean reducing poverty will be a matter of redistribution. Better just to use constant 2011 yuan for example which in effect make the poverty line automatically adjust each year for inflation.
