    bindex.indd 540 3/14/11 3:26:49 PM China’s development, at least in part, is driven by patriotism and pride. The Chinese people have made great contributions to world civilization. Our commitment and determination is rooted in our historic and national pride. It’s fair to say that we have achieved some successes, [nevertheless] we should have a cautious appraisal of our accomplishments. We should never overestimate our accomplish- ments or indulge ourselves in our achievements. We need to assess ourselves objectively. [and aspire to] our next higher goal. [which is] a persistent and unremitting process. Xi Jinping Politburo Standing Committee member In the face of complex and ever-changing international and domes- tic environments, the Chinese Government promptly and decisively adjusted our macroeconomic policies and launched a comprehensive stimulus package to ensure stable and rapid economic growth. We increased government spending and public investments and imple- mented structural tax reductions. Balancing short-term and long- term strategic perspectives, we are promoting industrial restructuring and technological innovation, and using principles of reform to solve problems of development. Li Keqiang Politburo Standing Committee member I am now serving my second term in the Politburo. President Hu Jintao’s character is modest and low profile. we all have the high- est respect and admiration for him—for his leadership, perspicacity and moral convictions. Under his leadership, complex problems can all get resolved. It takes vision to avoid major conflicts in soci- ety. Income disparities, unemployment, bureaucracy and corruption could cause instability. This is the Party’s most severe test.

  • August 10, 2016 the Honorable Li Keqiang Premier Beijing People's
    August 10, 2016 The Honorable Li Keqiang Premier Beijing People’s Republic of China Respected Premier Li: Our organizations, representing a broad array of industries and companies of all sizes, are writing to express our hope that China fully embraces the goals of the upcoming G20 Leaders Meeting to promote an “innovative, invigorated, interconnected, and inclusive world economy,” by taking steps to address concerns regarding the direction of China’s information communications technology (ICT) policies. These include the draft Cybersecurity Law (“The Law”) and pending China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) Provisions on Insurance System Informatization (“The Provisions”). We appreciate that China has published drafts of The Law and The Provisions for public comment. This level of transparency is very important in drafting technical regulations of this significance. However, the current drafts, if implemented, would weaken security and separate China from the global digital economy. Specific concerns with The Law and The Provisions include: Broad data residency requirements, which have no additional security benefits, but would impede economic growth, and create barriers to entry for both foreign and Chinese companies; Trade-inhibiting security reviews and requirements for ICT products and services, which may weaken security and constitute technical barriers to trade as defined by the World Trade Organization; and Data retention and sharing, and law enforcement assistance requirements, which would weaken technical security measures

    Piece Mold, Lost Wax & Composite Casting Techniques of the Chinese Bronze Age Behzad Bavarian and Lisa Reiner Dept. of MSEM College of Engineering and Computer Science September 2006 Table of Contents Abstract Approximate timeline 1 Introduction 2 Bronze Transition from Clay 4 Elemental Analysis of Bronze Alloys 4 Melting Temperature 7 Casting Methods 8 Casting Molds 14 Casting Flaws 21 Lost Wax Method 25 Sanxingdui 28 Environmental Effects on Surface Appearance 32 Conclusion 35 References 36 China can claim a history rich in over 5,000 years of artistic, philosophical and political advancement. As well, it is birthplace to one of the world's oldest and most complex civilizations. By 1100 BC, a high level of artistic and technical skill in bronze casting had been achieved by the Chinese. Bronze artifacts initially were copies of clay objects, but soon evolved into shapes invoking bronze material characteristics. Essentially, the bronze alloys represented in the copper-tin-lead ternary diagram are not easily hot or cold worked and are difficult to shape by hammering, the most common techniques used by the ancient Europeans and Middle Easterners. This did not deter the Chinese, however, for they had demonstrated technical proficiency with hard, thin walled ceramics by the end of the Neolithic period and were able to use these skills to develop a most unusual casting method called the piece mold process. Advances in ceramic technology played an influential role in the progress of Chinese bronze casting where the piece mold process was more of a technological extension than a distinct innovation. Certainly, the long and specialized experience in handling clay was required to form the delicate inscriptions, to properly fit the molds together and to prevent them from cracking during the pour.

  • Bronze Mirrors
    212 Bronze Mirrors François Louis Twenty-nine bronze mirrors were recovered from various locations at the wreck site. At the time of discovery most of the mirrors were covered by calcareous sediment, and their surfaces had corroded. Many have turned black. Originally, the mirrors were mostly silver to allow for a highly reflective surface. To achieve such a bright color, casters added more tin to the bronze alloy. On average, Tang mirrors are made of a bronze that is composed of 69 percent copper, 25 percent tin, and 5.3 percent lead.1 The mirrors from the Belitung shipwreck feature a panorama of shapes and designs popular in Tang China. Most of them are standard types that were commercially produced and widely traded. But the group also included two surprising pieces: an antique mirror from the Han era (206 BCE–220 CE), and a never-before-seen Tang mirror, whose inscription identifies it as one of the famed specimens cast on the Yangzi River in Yangzhou, a so-called Yangxin or Jiangxin mirror. The Belitung mirrors offer a rare glimpse into a commercial inventory of the early ninth century, the various designs and sizes reflecting different price categories and tastes. About a quarter of the mirrors are of restrained, modest design, with shallow floral reliefs or simple concentric lines on the back. Others, such as the four square mirrors that now look entirely plain, originally may have been splendidly decorated with ivory, mother-of-pearl, or gold and silver inlays in black lacquer. These would have catered to the more affluent customers, as did the heavy, sumptuous, so-called lion-and-grapevine mirrors.

Le rôle du Haut comité en temps « normal » est d’aider, de conseiller et d’assister ses membres à optimiser la préparation de leurs structures aux événements graves et exceptionnels de par ses travaux de mises en relations, d’événementiel et de partage du savoir. Il l’est aussi dans la veille straté- gique et opérationnelle, de manière permanente. Cette période de crise a vu nos travaux profondément modifiés, car bien évidemment nous avons arrêté l’événementiel par la force des choses, mais nous avons renforcé notre service de veille, ce qui nous a permis de produire de manière quotidienne, sept jours sur sept, jusqu’à la période du confinement, des tableaux de bord quotidiens sur la situation en France et bi-hebdomadaires sur la situation dans le monde ainsi que sur le plan économique. Ces productions ont été, je sais, extrêmement utiles à de nombreuses salles de crise dans les entreprises, mais elles seront également extrêmement intéressantes pour la réalisation des retours d’expérience. En effet, un choc de cette nature impose et mérite un retour d’expérience à tous les niveaux des organisations qui ont été impactées.
