China and Japan are neighboring countries, and it’s fair to say that they have a common destiny. We want to work to build smooth communication between the two countries, as a new life force to support our countries, and to contribute to some degree to future Japanese-Chinese relations. Beijing Jingshan School students - Speech by the representative of the Japanese teenage ambassadors In this exchange, we represent Japan’s young people, and we are working to understand the goodness of China, while we help Chinese people to understand the goodness of Japan. We also want to work, consciously and positively, for much closer relations between our two countries. Just as pandas became goodwill ambassadors, we teenage ambassadors strongly desire and strive to stand as proof of the friendship between Japan and China. University of Tsukuba Junior & Senior High School students - Courtesy visit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Q&A session Date and time: July 11th, 2017 (Tuesday), 11:00 - 12:00 Courtesy visits to: Minister for Foreign Affairs Fumio Kishida Q&A Session: Counselor Noriyuki Shikata I am delighted to welcome you to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in this year that marks the 45th anniversary of the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations. It is vitally important to maintain stability between Japan and China, and to raise mutual understanding, by really feeling and sharing things, with your eyes and hearts, and getting into direct exchanges. At the time of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, I hope you will be entering university, becoming bilateral supporters of Japan and China, and assisting each other. I want you to build up exchanges for the future on 45 years of exchanges to date, and take the process further, to work in various fields and serve as bridges between Japan and China. (Excerpt) Minister for Foreign Affairs Fumio Kishida While you teenage ambassadors are in Japan, I very much hope that you will experience all kinds of things, reach your own understanding of Japan, and pass that on to your friends and families back in your own country, get much more interested in Japan, and work as bridges for friendly relations between Japan and China in future. While you’re young, please be sure to experience all kinds of things, and broaden your perspectives. (Excerpt) - Counselor Noriyuki Shikata - Q&A session with Counselor Noriyuki Shikata Q: What do you think about the Japan-China teenage ambassador exchange events? And what do you expect of high-school students? A: I want this event to be an opportunity for you to make lots of new friends, who will be your friends for 20 years, 30 years, or for life. I also think this kind of program can lead to overseas study and jobs. Japan and China have cultural elements in common. For example, both countries use Kanji. How much can Chinese people understand when they read a Japanese newspaper? I believe people able to serve as bridges between Japan and China will be essential when cultures differ or opinions diverge. I think this event will be a great success if it triggers you to want to study more. Q: Number of foreign students in Japan is declining. Is there anything the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can do about that? A: Students from Japan going to study abroad have also been declining in recent years. I don’t think that’s a desirable trend. The government is considering a variety of policies. For example, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has started the “Tobitate” (Take Off) overseas study promotion program for Japanese high-school students, and is supporting Japanese in their overseas studies. As the number of foreign students coming to Japan from other countries increases, it will stimulate Japanese people to want to take a look at other countries for themselves. A growing number of Japanese companies offer scholarships for overseas study, as a way of hiring personnel who are ready to work well internationally, as they engage in intense competition in international markets. Of course, if the students aren’t interested, it doesn’t matter how much support the government provides. So I hope that this kind of activity will make you want to take on the challenge. - Q&A session at the Chinese Embassy Date and time: July 11th, 2017 (Tuesday), 16:45 - 17:45 Q&A Session: Minister Guo Yan Q: Do you have any advice for us about what we can do in future, as teenage ambassadors, to promote friendship between China and Japan? A: First of all, while you’re visiting Japan, please see with your own eyes, and get into as much exchange as you want. Then, after you go back to China, it will be very important to share what you have seen, heard, and felt for yourself with your families and friends. I hope that this exchange program will raise your interest in Japanese-Chinese relations. I want you all to grow up into splendid adult members of society, so that you can contribute to exchange between China and Japan in various fields. Q: I believe diplomats bear extremely have responsibilities and need to have very high levels of ability, but I think just words and ability are not enough. What is the most important ability for working as a diplomat? A: - I agree with you completely. Language alone is not enough when one is a diplomat. What is needed more is advanced senses of mission and responsibility, a spirit of service, and passionate feelings. I think it’s very important to have passion for promoting and furthering friendly relations with the countries one is posted to. Wide-ranging knowledge and capability, and particularly the ability to communicate with people, are also highly important. I think it is people with that kind of passion and ability that can become diplomats.

    1 City 5 Ways THERE’S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO DISCOVER A DESTINATION. BEIJING BY THOMAS O’MALLEY Beijing can Be a confounding capital—at once ancient and futuristic, Communist yet creative, East meeting West and all the rest.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

  • Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018
    Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018 Xiaoqing Kong Master of Architecture Design A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Shenzhen, one of the fastest growing cities in the world, is the benchmark of China’s new generation of cities. As the pioneer of the economic reform, Shenzhen has developed from a small border town to an international metropolis. Shenzhen government solved the housing demand of the huge population, thereby transforming Shenzhen from an immigrant city to a settled city. By studying Shenzhen’s housing development in the past 40 years, this thesis argues that housing development is a process of competition and cooperation among three groups, namely, the government, the developer, and the buyers, constantly competing for their respective interests and goals. This competing and cooperating process is dynamic and needs constant adjustment and balancing of the interests of the three groups. Moreover, this thesis examines the means and results of the three groups in the tripartite competition and cooperation, and delineates that the government is the dominant player responsible for preserving the competitive balance of this tripartite game, a role vital for housing development and urban growth in China. In the new round of competition between cities for talent and capital, only when the government correctly and effectively uses its power to make the three groups interacting benignly and achieving a certain degree of benefit respectively can the dynamic balance be maintained, thereby furthering development of Chinese cities.

Please note that there is a section of the application that needs to be completed by your parent or guardian. Newton’s exchange program to Jingshan is specific in its goals and expectations. It is a school- based and family-oriented program.

Students will also attend special classes organized for Newton students such as calligraphy and martial arts, participate in day excursions, and do some traveling to other parts of China. While at the Jingshan School, Newton students will also take a course taught by Newton’s exchange teachers about China for English credit. Prior experience in Chinese is not required to apply, but all students are expected to take Chinese in the semester leading up to their trip. Students who have not previously taken Chinese will also be required to participate in the STARTALK intensive language program during the summer prior to travel.

In Beijing during the weeks leading up to the anniversary, there were numerous police vehicles and armed guards at key locations, but most especially in and around Tiananmen Square where pedestrian access was tightly restricted. The Square is a beacon, the obvious ground zero for such an anniversary, but any veterans of the movement who would like to have visited in commemoration were either under house arrest, denied visa entry or were being so closely monitored as to make a respectful pilgrimage all but impossible. It seemed eerily possible that not a single veteran of Tiananmen 1989 would be there this year. I felt beholden to get as close to the scene of the uprising and the symbolic scene of the crime, as much for the survivors who couldn’t go, as for the memory of the lost souls whose spirit has hovered in and around Tiananmen ever since.
