Arable Land Polluted Heavily In China

As the second largest economic body， China is paying a high price for its fast economic growth. In the past 30 years， a revolution happened to China’s agriculture， with its food production amount doubled. China relies on high-yielding crops. For better harvest， excessive chemical fertilizer has been mixed into the soil， of which 65% were improperly used. Rivers and farmlands were therefore polluted， and the toxic substances stayed in the soil. Soil pollution is one of China’s major health problems.

中國耕地污染嚴重

世界第二大經(jīng)濟體正為其快速的經(jīng)濟增長付出高昂代價。過去30年來，中國農(nóng)業(yè)掀起一場革命，糧食生產(chǎn)增加近一倍。中國依賴高產(chǎn)作物。為更多收獲，農(nóng)田使用過量化肥，且高達65%的化肥使用不當，河流和農(nóng)田因此受污染，有毒物質(zhì)留在土里。土壤污染已成為中國最大的健康隱患之一。

Leave Beijing， For My Kids

Air pollution is a key challenge facing foreign companies in China ， and is an underlying reason why many expatriate workers choose to leave Beijing. Among them was Marc van der Chijs， who arrived 13 years ago and co-founded leading Chinese online video site Tudou. In March， he packed up and left Shanghai， and headed for Vancouver. “I was looking for a place where my kids can grow up in a healthy environment，”he said.

為了我的孩子，離開北京

空氣污染是在華外國公司面臨的一個重大挑戰(zhàn)，也是許多外籍員工選擇離開北京的根本原因。方德思就是其中之一，他13年前來到中國，參與創(chuàng)建了中國在線視頻網(wǎng)站土豆網(wǎng)。今年3月，他收拾東西離開上海，去了溫哥華。方德思說，我想找一個能讓孩子們在健康環(huán)境中成長的地方。

No Toilet Paper In The Toilet

Chinese people are used to bringing toilet paper when they go to the toilet， which is true especially in some small cities. No toilet paper is a big problem for the buildings in China. In 2012， the then Chairman of China Securities Regulatory Commission， Guoshuqing said while talking about China’s securities internationalization， “We talk about internationalization everyday. The commission should be internationalized first. No toilet paper in the toilet； No talking about internationalization.”

廁所沒廁紙

中國人上廁所往往會自帶廁紙，在較小的城市尤其如此。沒有廁紙確實是中國各地大樓的一個問題，擔心如果免費提供的話，會被偷走。2012年，時任中國證監(jiān)會主席的郭樹清在討論中國證券國際化問題時出語驚人：“我們天天說國際化，首先證監(jiān)會要國際化，廁所連手紙都沒有，還談什么國際化？”

Openness And Transparence Against H7n9

A new and deadly avian influenza virus hit Shanghai， the prosperous financial center of China. Shanghai municipal government issued and updated news in the microblog， similar to Twitter， which is quite different from what happened ten years ago. This contrast displays China’s openness and transparence.

公開透明抗H7N9

在上海這個中國繁華的金融中心出現(xiàn)了一種新型且致命的禽流感病毒后，上海市政府在類似推特網(wǎng)的微博上發(fā)布實時更新的信息。這是與十年前截然不同的方式。這一對比展示了中國新的公開透明度。文章認為，這一公開透明是從“非典”災難中學來的。

No North Korea Collapse

China really doesn't want North Korea to collapse. For one thing， the trickle of North Koreans currently crossing the border would turn into a flood， leaving China with a messy humanitarian situation on its hands. Secondly， a North Korean coRIVHoRslb1JbYquOAZ0MKIIQTUG45Fn3IZMj4Dwu0PE=llapse would no doubt foster the creation of a unified， pro-U.S. Korea on China's northeastern flank， depriving Beijing of a buffer against American interest. For these reasons， China needs North Korea to stay alive ， and North Korea knows it.

中國不想朝鮮垮臺

中國真不想讓朝鮮垮臺。否則，目前不斷跨境進入中國的朝鮮人將變得像洶涌的洪水一般，這會讓中國陷入棘手的人道主義困境。其次，朝鮮垮臺無疑會推動在中國的東北翼建立一個統(tǒng)一的親美國家，北京將因此失去一個抵制美國利益的緩沖器。出于這些理由，中國需要朝鮮活下去，而朝鮮也明白這一點。
