Therefore, it has become imperative to search for Li from other sources. Li in coal is thought to be one of the candidates. In this study, the petrology, mineralogy, and geochemistry of No. 21 coal from the Hebi No. 6 mine, Anhe Coalfield, China, was reported, with an emphasis on the distribution, modes of occurrence, and origin of Li. The results show that Li is enriched in the No. 21 coal, and its concentration coefficient (CC) value is 6.6 on average in comparison with common world coals.

  • China's Quest for World-Class Universities
    MARCHING TOWARD HARVARD: CHINA’S QUEST FOR WORLD-CLASS UNIVERSITIES A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies By Linda S. Heaney, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 19, 2111 MARCHING TOWARD HARVARD: CHINA’S QUEST FOR WORLD-CLASS UNIVERSITIES Linda S. Heaney, B.A. MALS Mentor: Michael C. Wall, Ph.D. ABSTRACT China, with its long history of using education to serve the nation, has committed significant financial and human resources to building world-class universities in order to strengthen the nation’s development, steer the economy towards innovation, and gain the prestige that comes with highly ranked academic institutions. The key economic shift from “Made in China” to “Created by China” hinges on having world-class universities and prompts China’s latest intentional and pragmatic step in using higher education to serve its economic interests. This thesis analyzes China’s potential for reaching its goal of establishing world-class universities by 2020. It addresses the specific challenges presented by lack of autonomy and academic freedom, pressures on faculty, the systemic problems of plagiarism, favoritism, and corruption as well as the cultural contradictions caused by importing ideas and techniques from the West. The foundation of the paper is a narrative about the traditional intertwining role of government and academia in China’s history, the major educational transitions and reforms of the 20th century, and the essential ingredients of a world-class institution.

A MESSAGEIMPACT FRO ONM MARKET THE ACCESS, U.S.N ATCHIONALAM TREATMENT,BER ANDOF T RANSPARENCYCOMMERCE his is the second of two U.S. Chamber of Commerce reports intended to promote deeper understanding and highlight the importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) between the United States and TChina. The U.S. Chamber believes that increasing two-way FDI can yield significant benefits for both countries. Increased FDI has already led to greater economic growth, more jobs, and expanded opportunities in both China and the United States. It has strengthened the relationship between the world’s two largest economies and has led to greater global stability and prosperity. The first report, Faces of Chinese Investment in the United States, aimed to promote greater Chinese investment into the United States and help demystify the U.S. investment climate for Chinese business leaders interested in the American market. In addition to sharing the wisdom of Chinese manufacturers, service providers, and business leaders who run state-owned and private companies both large and small, the report made the case for why Chinese investment in the United States helps ordinary Americans.

  • China in the South Pacific: No New Hegemon on the Horizon
    PRIF-Reports No. 90 China in the South Pacific: No New Hegemon on the Horizon Roland Seib Translation: Matthew Harris © Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) 2009 Correspondence to: HSFK x Baseler Straße 27-31 x 60329 Frankfurt am Main Phone: +49(0)69 95 91 04-0 x Fax: +49(0)69 55 84 81 E-mail: [email protected] x Internet: www.prif.org ISBN: 978-3-937829-93-7 Euro 10.00 Summary From 2000 until 2010, the People’s Republic of China has taken on a much more signifi- cant role in the international arena. Its steadily growing economic and political involve- ment in Asia, Africa and Latin America is associated with its rise as a new world power with the potential to challenge the global leadership role of the remaining superpower, the United States. The People’s Republic is also continually expanding its influence in the South Pacific region. Although it has diplomatic relations with only seven of the 13 inde- pendent South Pacific island states, after 200 years of Western domination there is now already talk of an unfolding paradigm shift within the region. In less than 10 years China’s trade with the South Pacific States has increased tenfold to US$ 1.4 billion (2007). Whereas Western states have reduced or even completely closed down their embassies, staff and developmental cooperation in the region since the end of the Cold War, Peking has constantly expanded its diplomatic presence and development cooperation. Security experts are warning about the long-term strategic intentions of the People’s Republic in the region.
