IE Singapore is the first foreign government agency to partner Chengdu’s Commission of Commerce on the FTZ, following China’s announcement on its third batch of seven FTZs, which includes Sichuan (Chengdu)1. 2. This MOU is the result of IE Singapore’s close consultation with the Chengdu local authorities and further enhances the strong economic relations established by the Singapore-Sichuan Trade and Investment Committee (SSTIC) co-chaired by Minister for Education (Schools) Ng Chee Meng. Building on the SSTIC’s work over the years, the MOU will explore collaboration beyond modern services, modern living and modern manufacturing.

There are 5 ring roads at present including the existing roads and roads under construction. The existing roads include the Inner Ring Road with a radius of 2 km, the 1st Ring Road with a radius of 3 km, and the 2nd Ring Road with a radius of 4 km. There are two roads under construction, namely the 3rd Ring Road with a radius of 7 km, and the Outer Ring Road with a radius of 11 km. The construction of these two roads is underway, and most exits for expressways and main carriageway have been constructed already.

  • Risen from Chaos: the Development of Modern Education in China, 1905-1948
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Risen from Chaos: the development of modern education in China, 1905-1948 Pei Gao A thesis submitted to the Department of Economic History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy London, March 2015 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 72182 words. I can confirm that my thesis was copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Eve Richard. Abstract My PhD thesis studies the rise of modern education in China and its underlying driving forces from the turn of the 20th century. It is motivated by one sweeping educational movement in Chinese history: the traditional Confucius teaching came to an abrupt end, and was replaced by a modern and national education model at the turn of the 20th century. This thesis provides the first systematic quantitative studies that examine the rise of education through the initial stage of its development.
