Since the launch of reform and opening up in the late 1970s, the demographic dividend has provided China with low-cost labor and promoted its transformation from an impoverished country to a middle-income one. However, with the rapid drop of the birth rate and acceleration of its aging population, the working-age population in China is declining both in sheer volume and in its proportion to the total population. As the demographic dividend disappears, many are worried the Chinese economy cannot sustain its current rate of growth.
As a matter of fact, if handled properly, the sources for growth will be more diversified and the sustainability of economic growth will be enhanced after the disappearance of the demographic dividend. The demographic dividend has generated fast growth, which nevertheless is unbalanced and lacks sustainability because it relies on low-cost labor. After the demographic dividend disappears, economic growth will be more sustainable because it will be driven by multiple factors.
Meanwhile, the structure of the labor force has undergone fundamental changes. A workforce that consisted of people with a junior middle school or lower education has transformed into one consisting primarily of high school and university graduates. Such a labor structure is conducive to the development of the service industry, which will in turn promote the improvement of the quality and efficiency of economic growth.
China’s Early Warning And Control Aircraft
China Newsweek September 14 The People’s Liberation Army Air Force’s KJ-2000, KJ-500 and KJ-200 airborne early warning and control aircraft all made a stunning inaugural appearance during the September 3 military parade in Beijing. It took them seconds to fly over Tiananmen Square, though it has taken China half a century to successfully develop such aircraft.
In 1969, China made its first earlywarning and control aircraft KJ-1 based on a Soviet Union bomber. The core technology of airborne early warning and control aircraft pertains to enabling the radar to stably detect all possible targets within a certain range while moving in the air. When developing KJ-2000, China ingeniously invented a radar capable of realizing a 360-degree view of potential targets.
KJ-2000 completed its first test flight in November 2003. More test flights were conducted in order to find the shortcomings of the aircraft and improve its functions.
Meanwhile, operators capable of operating the new aircraft need to be trained. They were required to learn about the early-warning radar and electronic reconnaissance. Relying on a network, the aircraft can disseminate information about enemy aircraft not only to the Air Force but to the Army and the Navy, thus helping to integrate the three armed service branches.
Asian Games: Opportunity and Challenge
Qianjiang Evening News September 17
Hangzhou, capital of east China’s Zhejiang Province, won its bid for the 2022 Asian Games on September 16. It will be the third time China has hosted the quadrennial continental event. With the construction of new stadiums and other infrastructure, city management officials will lay out a new blueprint for urban development. Local residents also have high expectations that the event will change their city and their lives.
The successful bid is both an opportunity and a challenge. On the one hand, the Asian Games represents an important opportunity for the city to display its image to the outside world; on the other hand, there are concerns as to whether its infrastructure can fulfill the event’s requirements.
To meet the infrastructure requirements, the city needs to build a number of new facilities. However, it must keep in mind that infrastructure construction should not only meet the games’ needs but also serve the long-term economic and social development interests of the city.
In addition to building a complete infrastructure, it’s important to improve the manners of local residents. The spirit of sportsmanship should be advocated in the city, and the event should help promote economic and cultural exchange among Asian countries and regions. REPATRIATED FUGITIVE
Yang Jinjun, 57, a businessman suspected of embezzlement and bribery who fled to the United States in 2001, was sent back to China on September 18 through close cooperation between the judicial, law enforcement and foreign affairs authorities of China and the United States.
Yang, who was the general manager of a company in Wenzhou, east China’s Zhejiang Province, is on a list of 100 most-wanted Chinese fugitives living overseas released by China in April this year. He is the first of the 100 to be repatriated from the United States. China and the United States do not have an extradition treaty.
Yang Jinjun is the brother of another one of the most-wanted fugitives sought by Chinese authorities: Yang Xiuzhu, former Deputy Mayor of Wenzhou. Yang Xiuzhu is currently in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody pending deportation to China for violating the terms of the Visa Waiver Program, according media reports.
“The future of China-U.S. relations will not only be steered by current leaders but also by future generations.”
Hu Angang, a professor with Tsinghua University, in response to the results of a survey on September 20 showing that nearly 80 percent of young U.S. respondents are interested in Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to the country
“National defense education aims to make people realize the importance of solidarity and the necessity of reinforcing our defenses.”
Liu Bo, an associate professor with the National Defense University of the People’s Liberation Army, in response to air raid sirens sounded in Beijing on September 19, the 15th annual National Defense Education Day
“Because of sustainability issues, it may not be feasible for a number of low-income countries to borrow from the market, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. When we step in, we can work with the private sector without adding the public debt to the sovereign government.”
Jin Liqun, President-designate of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, speaking at a press conference after the conclusion of the Singapore Summit on September 19
“Petitions are an important part of soliciting public opinion, and the system should be easy to use and accessible.”
