Harvard have 14% of students who fail to graduate in 4 years and 3% who never finish at all~ in contrast Chinese universities has less than 1% rate. Judging from your tone, I could only says its only your negative perception then~ there are no "Hollywood US" or "Real US", only your...

Just for your information, nearly half of US university undergraduate students drop out of schools or transfer to other schools in the middle of their program. This is seen as normal~ so I don't think there would ever be news sensationalizing that. Yes, youth all over the world typically have...

I think Chinese (and Korean) need to change their mindset regarding university education. It become sensational in Chinese society because there is excessive emphasize being placed on university education. I have met a lot of third year chinese students and I would say 8 out of 10 don't even...

I wonder how much is the fee~ maybe USD1,000?

This is really exciting!

Of course nobody will believe Japan is heading to militarism. The Korean have been benign in reaction so far, and even the Chinese government knows that, But for the sake of opposing any countering military rise, the Chinese government need to play the hype of "Japan militarism"

Oh~ he isn't buying French shopping mall chain. He is buying Indonesian Carrefour with a nominal sum of US$750million. Carrefour has considered quitting Indonesian market. I think this is a bad move, since there were a lot of potential growth in Indonesia retail sector. But it is good news for...

Indonesia is not a commodity driven economy. Export-wise, yes it is mostly commodity based due to excess supply (mainly palm oil and briquettes). But I think you forget that Indonesia is heavily dependant on domestic consumption so much that Indonesia imported a lot of raw material and machinery...

That is why the property oversupply in China won't subside in the near future. Hukou is a kind of household registration system in China. But unlike in other countries, hukou is tied to a lot of governmental services ranging from healthcare, education, employment, and even marriage...

China should thoroughly reform its Hukou policy first~ I doubt the oversupply will end if human mobility from rural to urban area is not addressed properly.

Chinese satisfaction to the leadership is because their leaders delivered what it need to do plus media control and censhorship that hide certain seeds of dissatisfaction. The question is not which system is good, but which system give chances. For example, the rise of Indonesian Jokowi from...

It does not preclude the fact that it was made possible because of Deng's reformist idea. What happen if Deng and Hua failed to outmanouevred the Gang of Four? Will Chinese people back then has anything to say? I bet North Korea is the reflection of what China would be if those reformists...

So what exactly is that? You use philosophical words as if it were something concrete but in reality nothing could be deduce as a logical and coherent system. You say there are immense checks and balances~ what are the check? What are the balances? How the system works? No, Suharto didn't~ and...

Why are you talking about India? I don't think it is relevant. Of course China's reform were not a one man show~ I would said it was the result of political struggle between two factions (the reformist vs. Conservative) within the CCP post-Mao, in which the reformist win. The same was also...

I don't understand what the author want to convey~ In one hand he established that democracy has nothing to do with economic development. It is good governance and rule of law that ensure economic development, which I fully agree. But in the other hand he linked democracy to failure of...

China is lucky~ why? because Deng Xiaoping managed to win in a post-Mao political struggle to unleash a market reform policy. Thank God the Gang of Four was purged! In such system where change/reform could only be initiated by those in power, it solely relies on the genuine will from the...

Experimental rice yield will often produce far higher yield than what the farmer will produce in actual setting. With 15 ton/ha in experimental, I bet it will only be 8 to 9 tons/ha at most.

Minangkabau is disctint but closely related to Malay. Indonesian minangkabau will not considered themselves as Malay as they have different tradition and culture. The most distinctive is strong matrilineal tradition of Minangkabau where women hold higher status than men. That is why a lot of...

You know it is THE ONION and the news is incomprehensible
