Will China be the World’s Most Powerful Economy Instead of the U.S ?

I chose this topic because it is such the top issue today around the world about economic growing of China. I am the one of them who is interested in this news. I saw several productions made in China such as clothing, food or even electric equipments in this today. Actually, the previous year almost of them are from the US and I wonder is it true that China already overtook the US as the most powerful economy.

According to public opinion survey by the Pew Research Center, 44 percent of Americans believe that the top economic power of the world is China, while 27 percent still firmly assure of the US. Yet in fact, most thought is wrong. It seems to be far away from their opinion. Although, China’s economy has grown rapidly, it cannot equate with the strong country as the US. Actually, China is likely to be the most powerful of world economic because there are 1.3 billion people. However, It does not mean the standard of Chinese’s living is better than the US. Furthermore, in manufacturing the US is still the world head because of the higher quality. It is true that China produces lots of production but they are low in quality and coast.

After I read this news, I absolutely agree that China is odd with the fact. I bought some products which are made from China and I found that they are really unendurable. They completely differ from the US’s products. It is not only deterrent in price but also in quality.

China Floods

I chose this article because the flood is one of the natural disaster that unavoidable. Flood is one of a disaster that had in my country. It damages several things including human life, may die or lost in that one flood. This is a one of the most unavoidable problem that many countries in our world are facing. After that, some people will be a houseless even to be poor.

Problems of natural disasters still make a big trouble with China. Many province in the center of China were flooded and reporter reported that, at least 52 people were died and 20 were lost. The rain hit the mountain and resulting in heavy causalities in three cities, Luoyang, Nanyang and Sanmenxia. 37 of people who died were from Louyang city, which is an ancient capital. Many broadcast and T.V. Channel have to close for a while because of this natural disasters. The staff will begin to clear an area in this 2-3 days. It's not the first time that rain-trigged flood become a big trouble around there, but in 2003 and 2005, It also be a big problem over there. Finally the magnitude and amount of the lost is still being assessed. To sum up, natural disasters is the biggest problem all around the world.

In my opinion, when people are facing to this problem the government should do something that will make those life better. After this situation, the government or wealthy people should establish the organization that directly to this disaster for victim to better life. This problem is the one of the biggest problem that unavoidable in our world but still have some problem that people are facing that we are not know and seen.

I chose this article because the earthquake is on of the highest disaster in our world that unavoidable. From this situtation had over 400 people died. China had many disaster in that country. It powerful country true but if they face to this kind of problem which the powerful country in the that that cannot avoid for sure.

After powerful earthquake in China, there were at least 400 people died and more than thousands were injured. The magnitude 6.9 quake in Yushu country, Qinghai province. ShelterBox has sent one rescue team into China earthquake area. They were sending 500 tents and clothing and quilts for 1000 people. They said the major problem they are facing is lack of tents. The situation in several villages in the mountain is still unknown and roads and communications have been cut. There is widespread destruction and they need our help.

The Red cross said an assessment team from Qinghai province was in the region, and another more charity agencies from Beijing would join them in 1 day. All of charity agencies will decide quickly with their team what help they should give and where should they send a team to help. They knew that it will be vital to get medical supply and medicines to Yushu country as fast as possibleto help the survivors.

The rescue was co-ordinated by Chinese government and British. China have experience of dealing with natural disasters. They can solve the problem well. Most of the buildings in the town were wrecked, and landslides have cut off roads. Hundreds of survivors had been pull from the rubble. In 2008, a huge earthquake struck in Sichuan province, about 800km from Yushu. It left 87,000 people dead or missing and 5 million were homeless.

In my opinion, when people are facing to this problem the government should do something that will make those life better. After this situation, the government or wealthy people should establish the organization that directly to this disaster for victim to better life. This problem is the one of the biggest problem that unavoidable in our world but still have some problem that people are facing that we are not know and seen.

The first time of new planet 's discovery

The reason why I chose this news is I personally interested in astronomy. I think it is such a mysterious thing that even science cannot find out what is going on above the earth. I think there are plenty strange planets and aliens, walking on some planets outside the world. I am looking forward to someday I can see the marvels which have not discovered on this today.

In a few days ago, I have heard that there is a Chinese scientist who found the new tiny planet while he was on observatory, Cheu Ching San. It was the first time of Chinese scientist that discovered this little planet above China. Mr. Chaohaiping, researcher of observatory , said that this planet spends time to orbit around the sun for 100.29 year around.

In my opinion, this news is such a good news for science world. It may stimulate the scientists to work harder on the astronomy. On the other hand, according to the news it may be an implication that something outside the world has been changing and it may causes huge change on our world too.

Music festivals

I chose this article because there are many people in this world is love the thing which is music. Around the our world most countries have a music festivals, including my country, there is around two or three concerts per month and the audiences also pay their money to see those concert. Whatever, if they like they music concert. They also pay their money for that.

In conclusion, It show that music festival in China are grow up very fast in the country and distribute to all around the country. If feedback from the audience still good like this, Maybe China will start to think about the biggest music festival in the world.

In my opinion, this situation may help many people in that country relax after their work. It will support the demand of the audiences to see the rock concert in their country. There are not too much that foreign band will be show in other country. If I have some chance in my life I abroad and see the rock concert in overseas.

He have been famous since he was 9 years old. That boy is very famous in the pianist social in China. Many new children who known him let him be their model to start to play some music.

The person who play some music is more meditation than other because music make people relax and concentrate to do something.

E-Bikes

I choose this article because most of Chinese are riding e-bike on the streets in China. It become popular in recent years, several countries in Asia. It may help to reduce the usage of gasoline and help the global worming. Some place in my country use this car to be a transportation. It can help to decrease money for pay gasoline.

Electric bikes known as e-bikes, become popular in recent years. It around 200 US dollars, they can reach top speed to 30kph and go 50 kilometers, one charge costs 16 cents. In some cities use e-bike approximately 50 percent of all bicycle used. The batteries can be recycled. About 20 million e-bikes were sold each year in 2007 and 2008. It batteries can be charged overnight.

In my opinion, e-bike can reduce the consumption of fuel in the world, from gasoline be a electric. It easier and faster to ride a bike from place to another place. It can move the way that car can not go to and it can reduce the usage of gasoline and the release of carbon dioxide also.

Urban Transportation and Mass Transit in China

I choose this article because the transportation is important to every part of the world. It should be place every part in China for convenient to transport from part to part in that country because China is a powerful country it should have a several transportation in this country for the invester will invest in this country.

Chinese streets are dominated by chaotic of several transportation. The number of cars and trucks is increasing everyday some cities are already covering by exhaust fumes and traffic jams. Beijing subway is predicted to be the largest in the world by 2015. Around 16 million Shanghaiese use the city public transportation everyday and other six million people ride their bicycles every day. Several cities in China are under construction public transport system. China can build these kind of transportation easier and faster than other country because the government owns the land, labor is cheap and protests against the system cannot be organized. Nowadays, at least 15 cities were building subway lines.

In my opinion, China is a powerful country. It’s good that China begin to build several transportation in their country. It much easy to travel from district to another district. From this point travelers can travel easier than the past. Moreover, investers will come and invester more in this country and it will be gains more profit from the new transportation.

Martial Arts School Starts Soccer Team

I choose this article because there is not many country in the world that applied martial arts with soccer, but China applied it into football. I ever seen the movie that something like this. I never think that it will become true in the real world. It may only one school that fix the martial arts with soccer.

This soccer team took inspiration from Stephen Chow's famous film Shaolin Soccer and World Cup. Li Lin, who is seventeen-years captain, started the team a few week ago. He said that his martial skill would help them to play soccer. His team spend 4 hours a week for practice with coach Wang Xiaobo. However, an anonymous said that monks are permitted to watch games. Finally, They must to according to religious doctrine to go to sleep early.

In my opinion, It’s probably good to apply martial arts with soccer. Soccer attract I think soccer has an influence on everyone, even monk. Many people are interested in this sport. In the future, this team maybe on the top of football team that get an achievement in the world. If there will develop their team as long as possible I believe that it will be happen for sure.

I choose this article because nowadays in our world has many country that made home stay for foreign students . China is a big country in the world. It should create home stay for foreign student to study in China. In the future, China will become a powerful country of everything including education.

Beijing International Exchange Center(BIEC) has recently launched an International Volunteer Home Stay Program for hosting foreign students. Following of the Olympic families success, which hosted tourists during the 2008 Olympics. BIEC believes host families can help foreign students understand in Chinese and also improve their language skills. Shang Xiaoai, a media executive with the Home Stay Program, said they have received 150 applicants for host families, more than they expected. These families will host the first group of international students during this year's winter holiday.

In my opinion, home stay helpful foreign students to improve and language skills. Because when they were stay in host family, stay with native language. Foreign student can learning and understanding in another culture, maybe they were not meet anywhere before. Host family will help you to improve your language for sure.

I choose this article because basketball has effect to most Chinese people. They like to play and watch basketball. It was a charity game for poor children in western of China. Baskestball is a sport which is many people in China are playing and prefer to play this kind of sport more than orther.

The NBA star win 101-95 victory over Chinese team in Beijing on Saturday. This charity game is part of the Yao Foundation Charity Tour to help and improve education environment for poor children in Western China.
