Literacy on Sustainability and Mandarin 13 April 2018 - Seven leading Chinese celebrities, including actors, singers, film directors, a fashion model and a racing driver are giving their support to the Sustainable Development Goals after a visit to the United Nations in Vienna. The celebrities came to Vienna to film an episode of the reality TV show Keep Running, which is watched by millions in China and beyond. As part of the programme, they were set a challenge: to prepare and deliver a speech about one or two of the Goals in English. At a Youth Forum in the ornate setting of City Hall, the celebrities, Deng Chao, Angelababy, Li Chen, Chen He, Zheng Kai, Wong Cho Lam and Lu Han, delivered their speeches before audience of more than 500 people. They were joined by six speakers from different Vienna-based UN organizations, including UNODC, who spoke about their work to achieve the Goals. The live event was hosted by the City of Vienna and compered by Margareta Griessler-Hermann from the Mayor Office. The Director of the UN Information Service (UNIS) in Vienna, Martin Nesirky, introduced the Sustainable Development Goals. Margaret Akullo, Project Coordinator in UNODC's Human Trafficking and Migrant Smuggling Section, spoke of her own personal experience of living through conflict as a child, and how she feared whether anyone would protect her family. Click here to read more information Literacy on Sustainability and Mandarin "UNODC is trying to ensure people trying to move to a place of safety during conflicts, and who can be vulnerable to being exploited by human traffickers, are protected and kept safe. This is helping to achieve Goal 10, reducing inequalities, and Goal 16 on peace, justice and strong institutions," she said. The celebrities gave their speeches on Goals 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 13 and 17. The only woman member among the group, Angelababy, in her speech about Goal 3, mentioned UNODC's Youth Crime Prevention through Sports initiative under the Doha Declaration. She called for the use of sport to help young people develop life skills, strengthen social inclusion, and stay away from violence, crime and drugs while having fun. The TV show, which is aimed at young people from the age of 16, was broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV channel on 13 April and is also available on YouTube. The seven film, TV and singing stars, have a combined social media following of more than 500 million people, on the Chinese platform Weibo and also on Instagram. It is hoped the TV show will encourage other young people in China and beyond to become interested in the Sustainable Development Goals and organize their own Youth Forum-style events, as well as taking action to achieve the Goals..

    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.

  • 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.

  • "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.
