    PRESS STATEMENT Textile CEOs Urge Candidates to Elaborate More Fully on Plans to Stop U.S. Manufacturing Job Loss and to Boost Competitiveness CONTACT: Lloyd Wood, Dir. of Membership and Media Outreach (202) 452-0866 or [email protected] For Immediate Release May 1, 2008 North Carolina textile industry CEOs urged candidates for public office to put forth more detailed plans to stop U.S. manufacturing job loss and to boost competitiveness at telephone conference call media event held on May 1. Allen Gant, CEO of Glen Raven Inc. of Glen Raven, North Carolina said, “America cannot have a prosperous future without a healthy domestic manufacturing sector. That’s why all candidates must more fully spell out where they stand on such key manufacturing issues such as stopping job loss and boosting the competitiveness of the U.S. government’s manufacturing policy.” Illustrating the challenges facing North Carolina’s economy, the American Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition (AMTAC) released a comprehensive report that showed a severe decline in manufacturing investment in North Carolina and that the state has been losing high-wage jobs and replacing them with low-wage jobs. It also broke out manufacturing job gain/loss by sector for North Carolina’s twelve largest metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). Reacting to the report, Gant continued, "North Carolina can’t keep trading good manufacturing jobs for lower paying service sector jobs and expect to grow its economy as fast as it needs to grow.” “Americans haven't stopped buying manufactured goods; they just aren’t buying as many from North Carolina as before because of trade cheats like China.

  • Second Generation Bringing Our Stories to the World’S Stage
    Second Generation Bringing our stories to the world’s stage MEDIA ALERT: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MICHELLE KRUSIEC’S MADE IN TAIWAN TO PREMIERE AT ASIAN AMERICAN THEATER FESTIVAL One-Woman Play Written and Performed by star of “Saving Face” and the upcoming film “Far North” NEW YORK, June 5, 2007 – Second Generation is proud to announce the New York premiere of playwright/perfomer Michelle Kruisiec’s one-woman play Made in Taiwan, featured in next week’s inaugural Asian American Theater Festival. The limited workshop run will open on Thursday, June 14, 2007 and include performances on June 15-June 16, 2007. Michelle Krusiec is the lead actress of the critically-acclaimed independent film Saving Face, and the upcoming feature Far North, co-starring Michelle Yeoh. Krusiec’s credits also include Sweet Home Alabama and numerous television appearances. Made in Taiwan is a provocative dark comedy that focuses on the inherent struggle between children and their parents. The mother is a pragmatic woman obsessed with her husband’s alleged adultery. The daughter is an optimistic young dreamer who struggles to define herself outside of her mother’s neuroses. Second Generation is excited to debut Krusiec’s piece to New York audiences. “We’re thrilled to have an artist of Michelle’s caliber and film credits who remains committed to her theater roots and developing new work,” said Gladys Chen, Second Generation’s President. The piece originated as an autobiographical college thesis deconstructing the relationship between Krusiec and her mother, and was developed under the artful eye of Larry Moss (Off-Broadway’s Syringa Tree by Pamela Gien).

  • Natural Gas in China's Power Sector
    December 2020 Natural gas in China’s power sector: Challenges and the road ahead China’s pledge to peak its emissions before 2030 suggests that decarbonization of its coal-dominant power sector will be key to fulfilling this goal. Natural gas emits around 50 per cent less greenhouse gases than coal when used in electricity generation.1 With the rapid deployment of variable renewables, gas-fired power plants could also enhance the flexibility of the power system and boost renewables integration. However, the development of natural gas in China’s power sector has been slow, with installed gas-fired capacity standing at 97 GW by October 2020 out of 2,100 GW total installed generating capacity, according to the latest data by the China Electricity Council.2 This falls short of the target of 110 GW by 2020, set out in the 13th Five Year plan (2016–2020). Gas-fired generation only accounted for 3.2 per cent of China’s total power production in 2019, significantly below coal’s share of 62 per cent. Average running hours were 2,646 last year, indicating that gas-fired power plants have been underutilized. This analysis discusses the latest developments in China’s gas-fired power generation, the main challenges, and the road ahead both in the context of the upcoming 14th Five-Year Plan and the recently announced 2060 carbon neutrality goal. Expensive imported gas, costly turbine technology, and the lack of fully competitive electricity markets have been the main obstacles limiting the role of natural gas in China’s power sector.

  • Chinese Americans in Literature
    Chinese Americans in Literature Chinese Americans in Literature: August 21, 1875 commemorates the birthday of Winnifred Eaton, the first popular novel writer of Chinese American descent. Since the 19th Century, much of the literature of Chinese Americans have dealt with issues of identity, assimilation, family, race, and sexism within the context of living as a perpetual foreigner in America. The Chinese started immigrating in numbers to America around the time of the California Gold Rush in 1849. Immigration slowed to a trickle when the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was enacted but grew to a torrent after passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 removed all restrictions on immigration by national origin. As a result, Chinese American literature came in waves following the rhythm created by immigration. Most of the early literature by Chinese Americans in the 19th Century was written in Chinese and English. The material mostly focused on combating American perceptions of the “Yellow Peril” and the stereotypes the early Chinese Americans faced. After passage of the Exclusion Act there was a dearth of literature, a notable exception being Winnifred Eaton and her sister, Edith Maude Eaton. Winnifred went by the pen name Onoto Watanna, passing herself off as Japanese American, and Edith was popularly known as Sui Sin Far. In actual fact, the sisters were biracial, Chinese and English. Winnifred was the first person of Chinese descent to publish her novel Mrs. Nume of Japan in 1899. Edith published Mrs. Spring Fragrance, a collection of her short stories in 1912. Edith Maude Eaton is worth noting for being one of the first to write about life as a Chinese woman in America and show the discrimination and irrational prejudice that she faced.

  • "Running Man" to "Mission X": Variety Shows As Cultural Representation of Local Identities
    From "Running Man" to "Mission X": Variety Shows as Cultural Representation of Local Identities Nurul Laili Nadhifah, Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia The Asian Conference on Media, Communication & Film 2018 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Running Man, as one of Korean successful variety shows, never fails to advertise parts of Korean culture like food, K-Pop, cultural values, traditional games, history, even historical sites. With quite a huge amount of fans not only from South Korea but also from other countries as well, Running Man also occasionally encourages interactions between the hosts and their fans in some games, indirectly introducing Korean culture to all over the world, resulting in the increase of consumption on Korean culture’s products. This reality show concept is, then, adapted into Indonesian variety show called Mission X. Quite different from Running Man, Mission X has its own ways in introducing Indonesia and its culture. This study aims to analyze the way Running Man and Mission X represent themselves as the platforms of advertising their local identities by applying Fiske’s vertical intertextuality and cultural identity theories. Drawing on data collected from the shows as the main texts and SNS as secondary texts, while data of fans’ reactions are gathered by doing random interview online. This research, through comparative studies, intents to explain the similarities and differences of cultural representations shown on those shows. The findings show different aspects of local culture displayed by those variety shows caused different methods of representing them. While Running Man introducing different aspects and values of culture like food or history through games and certain themes, Mission X tends to introduce cultural aspects more through display of setting.
