【17】Water resource management in China




From the principles of economics, water belongs to public goods, which shall be incorporated in the construction and management of government resources. Water environment protection and construction directly reflect and consider the degree of the government's management ability and strength. 

The important feature of water pollution prevention and control work in China is responsibility system in a place, and which also may be worth pondering and changing. For the pursuit of GDP and worship has become China's local governments the inertia of thinking, and the choice in pragmatism and ecologism between two very different views of development, as "economist" the government will, of course, choose the former without hesitation. Reason is very simple, which not only need to pay the cost of pollution control, also pay for the transfer of pollution control and economic benefits. As a result, those small chemical industries which should be completely shut down, paper making, small leather companies back from the dead. Using industrial enterprises along the river as the tools to lift GDP has become the consistent thought and action of local government

【16】Solar floor heating system




Solar energy is the energy which many countries advocated, because solar energy is inexhaustible.  Using solar energy is very environmental protection and energy saving. Solar floor heating system is mainly suitable for cold areas. Installation solar floor heating system will help households not have to worry about the attack of the cold.

Solar floor heating system mainly transforms the warm by radiant, so that we can provide the sun's heat energy to the object and the human body surface. If the inside and outside temperature are same, to achieve the same comfort, the ambient air temperature need to be lower than convection heating requirements about 3 . Solar heating floor system is very practical which obtains the vast number of consumers’ favor.


Solar floor heating system is not only a system of energy consumption, but energy production system. It has many good features, such as energy saving, cleanness, environmental protection, comfort, convenient for heat metering etc., which is a green way of heating. With the improvement of people's life quality requirements, the government's strong support, solar floor heating system will be more and more widely used.

【15】Energy crisis in German





After the accident at the fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan, Germany government announced shut down half of the nuclear power plant immediately. To make up for the closed nuclear power supply and demand gap, Germany government adopted high subsidies policy and support the development of renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaic, but traditional energy companies still faced with a serious crisis.

Due to wind and photovoltaic subsidy, lower wholesale prices, only coal power and nuclear power in the traditional energy companies still made a profit. The launch of some new natural gas power plant capacity utilization is only 10%. Traditional energy company profits decreased, closed production facilities and cut jobs. Only the power generation company in Dusseldorf city will reduce the capacity of 11 GW, thousands of workers losing their jobs. Meanwhile, the supply of wind power and photovoltaic power generation is unstable situation, which brings to the power grid operation difficulties.

【14】What globalization means to China?




As we know, China’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001 was a momentous decision made by the top leadership. It was a big gamble for the Chinese enterprises, because prior to the accession, they were extremely weak in every measure compared with global firms. Furthermore, they were either not consulted or excluded from negotiations. 

Contrary to the conventional wisdom that China’s deep integration into the global economy is a natural trend of economic development; I would argue that it was not the economic success in the 1990s that naturally led to China’s deep integration, but the predicament in the country’s reforms and industrialization that forced China to join the WTO at its earliest possible time to keep the economy growing. 


The globalization logic is that competition is the panacea. Competition will bail out the inefficient State-owned Enterprises (SOEs) and make them more competitive.

【13】sustainability of globalization



In the past three decades, in the wake of economic globalization, income inequality in the world – both within and between countries – has increased considerably. In that time, a series of cross-border problems have also become more urgent, problems that cry out for a resolute response from the ‘international community’. They relate to environment and climate, the scarcity of resources, energy and food, migration flows, transnational crime and terror, distribution issues, and a global financial system that is eroding itself from within.

We have to be aware that we are in a global political and economic vacuum, a transition period in which no one knows exactly where it will end. We should start to think profoundly about where we have come from: what are the causes of the problems we are now facing? On the basis of what promises have we signed up for the current architecture of globalization, and is it not time to acknowledge that important promises have not been kept?


We also need to find a convincing answer to the question of how China should relate to the current architecture of globalization, to persistent need and scarcity. In the search for a new, comprehensive political program, a number of trends in current Chinese development policy can offer points of entry, such as a more economic approach to poverty and inequality, increasing attention for the political dimensions of development.
