The government has a plan for education. They want to ensure that all young and middle-aged people will be able to read and write. Moreover, they will encourage about technology and also install more computers in Chinese classrooms.

The Education Minister Chen Zhili, stress that the modified education system will keep up. A Socialist character, said that the country needed "quality as well as quantity".

China Higher Education



What is the definition of global superpower in the past ?
It was about armies or possession of nuclear weapons.

But nowadays it changed, most people will think about education first.
China is improving in the higher education rapidly. The government encourage them about education extremely. China is now the largest higher education system in the world: it awards more university degrees than the US and India combined.
In the recently, China produced just 5,000 PhD students per year. That was only half number in UK, Japan, and India. Then China overtaken every country in the world except the US in the number of doctoral degrees.

In my opinion, education in UK and US are more quality than China. However, china can improve their education rapidly. If I contrast with Thailand, I think Thailand improve very slowly and government do not support education for student who live in the countryside as expected.

Chinese skating pair's wedding ceremony





Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo are the skating couple that will hold their wedding ceremony in the form of a skating performance, and the price of ticket is 1,080 Yuan, or about 5,000 Baht.

It's rare that they act such a commercial activity in China. Zhao Hongbo, the bridegroom who is also the coordinator behind this performance, said their aim was not money, but he hope people understand skating better. So, he makes the performance perfectly and lays a foundation for commercial. They also invited many celebrities to attend their performance such as; skaters, singers and, musicians.

The revenue from selling ticket and sponsor, will cover the performance expenses, including the fee of inviting the guests and make the field set.

Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo are the first Chinese team to win a medal at an International Skating Union event. They also won one Olympic gold medal, and two bronze medals.

In my view, this couple, they want to make people understand in skating by show in their wedding ceremony. Moreover, this is the new idea that no one ever do.

China's World Cup Dream Will Come True




The Chairman of the Chinese soccer association his name is Wei Di said that someday China wills success for a future World Cup. In fact, China cannot attend the World Cup finals as they failed to be host either the 2018 or 2022 tournaments. Media reports suggested the Chinese Football Association could make a play for the event in 2026, with several games in Hong Kong. FIFA recommend that China should learn about South African football management lesson.

The football league in South Africa has confronted with distresses three years ago as China suffers now, before a Swedish manager launched a thorough reform. Wei said that He choose skill base football development direction as Japan and Korea did.

In my opinion, China can be a part of Football World Cup in someday soon because China has potential to develop. You can see from the Olympic game, China can be the host and they can possess 1st rank of gold medal.
