Virtually every part of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) now reports to different leaders, has had its mission and Chairman Xi Remakes the PLA Xi Remakes Chairman responsibilities changed, has lost or gained subordinate units, or has undergone a major internal reorganization. Drawing on papers presented at two conferences co-organized by the U.S. National Defense University, RAND, and Taiwan’s Council REFORMS MILITARY CHINESE ASSESSING of Advanced Policy Studies, this edited volume brings together some of the world’s best experts on the Chinese military to analyze the various dimensions of the reforms in detail and assess their implications for the PLA’s ability to conduct joint operations, for the Chinese Communist Party’s control of the army, and for civil-military integration. The contributors review the drivers and strategic context under- pinning the reform effort, explore the various dimensions of PLA efforts to build a force capable of conducting joint operations, con- sider the implications for the PLA services, and examine Xi Jinping’s role in driving the reforms through and using them to strengthen control over the military. The chapters chronicle successes and outstanding problems in the reform effort, and consider what the net effect will be as the PLA strives to become a “world- class” military by mid-century, if not much sooner.

  • History and Cultural Heritage of an Ancient Village Cuandixia
    2020 International Conference on Economics, Education and Social Research (ICEESR 2020) History and Cultural Heritage of an Ancient Village Cuandixia Jiayu Li1, Jing Xianyu2* 1Middle School affiliated to Beijing Normal University, China 2Department of Tourism English, Beijing Union University, Beijing, China Keywords: History; Culture; Change; Heritage Abstract: The ancient village Cuandixia bears abundant Chinese culture, especially that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The thesis deals with its historical culture from three aspects: the formation and history of the village, the cultural relics of various historical periods, and the heritage of its historical culture at present day. The change of the village proves that culture is a mobile process changing with different historical backgrounds. Faced with the surge of globalization, Cuandixia villagers and all the citizens of Beijing share the duty to protect and inherit local culture. 1. Introduction Known as the “Potala Palace” of west Beijing, Cuandixia village is located at the Northwest of Zhaitang township, Mentougou District. The village keeps well some ancient architectures and cultures like the courtyard houses of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with ancient roads, walls, wells and miscellaneous things to reveal the original appearance of an old village. Ancient villages are important sites to remember the tradition and inherit the historical cultures, and “a cultural memory is a memory shared by a nation or a country formed through a long historical development, recorded by and inherited through a certain culture, and it is the unique cultural logo of a certain nation”[1]. Understanding the historical culture of Cuandixia village helps to enrich the interpretation of Chinese culture, strengthening our national confidence and inheriting its unique cultures.

Prof. Lawrence L. Kazmerski The birth of modern photovoltaics (PV) traces only to the mid-1950s, with the Bell Telephone Laboratories’ development of an efficient, single-crystal Si solar cell. The inventors (Daryl Chapin, Member Research Calvin Fuller, and Gerald Pearson) did not envision that their 2-cm2, 6%-efficient solar cell would Staff (Emeritus), lead to our world of electricity projecting terawatts generated from this simple device.
