All these things are global issues that affect China, and China is doing its share to address these key issuesHe is currently working on a project that involves protein crystallography, a vital element in drug design, and is collaborating with prominent Chinese scientist Hong Guo on research into silicon electronics

Three or four years ago, when my family and I were on the subway or a bus in Shanghai, people around would talk to usI once had a student come visit me and he was almost in tears after having to cross a road"Hopefully when I'm done with my work here, the connection between the two universities will be further strengthened, and through that I will leave a legacy," Reimers saidShe now speaks perfect Chinese and even has a Beijing accent

People focusing too much on themselves and the building of wealth, instead of interest for the community and the countryChina needs to teach people in these countries how to go about managing certain issues, such as ensuring good government, how to prevent corruption, and how to focus on development in a sustainable way with clear end goalsChina's five-year plans provide a purpose and focus, and any developing country needs such plans to have a long-term futureTaxi drivers are always happy to talk about lots of different topics

Do you believe some of China's experiences or practices could be used to solve pressing global problems? Many countries are in the position China was 40 years ago, and the lessons learned here in China are certainly appropriate for themTo see that happening and to be a part of it in my own little way is very special

In terms of challenges in the field of science, environmental damage and sustainability would be core issuesWhat three words would you use to describe China? Unified, together, vision

China needs to expand its reputation and abilities in these areas"I'm very happy to work on the advancement of science in ChinaComing up with better, cleaner methods for creating chemical reactions when generating power is going to be importantHe showed interest in the recommendations and comments that were put together by the foreign experts and even described how the recommendations would be looked at by the appropriate committeesPresident Xi came across as someone who cares for his people, his country, and the worldThat just shows how accepted we have been here in China

In the statement, the DPRK reaffirmed its commitment to abandoning nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs"We believe if the parties concerned can adhere to those consensus, abide by the spirit of the joint statement and seek ways to address the reasonable concerns of concerned parties, we will find a way out," said the spokesperson

Lu said the parties concerned should learn from experience in reaching the agreement, which includes holding that the core of the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue is over security issues, the key lies with the United States and the DPRK, and concerns of all parties should be resolved in a balanced wayBEIJING -- China said Tuesday that the six-party talks are still an efficient platform to address the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue

A lower house election must be held by December 2018 as this is when the four-year terms of current lower house lawmakers expireIf Abe goes ahead with his plan to call a snap election, then three by-elections that have been slated to take place on Oct 22 would be replaced by the general election

The opposition camp, however, has criticized Abe's move to call a snap election, with some accusing him of merely trying to escape from the influence-peddling scandals he is currently implicated in and engineering his stay in power"Nikai on Tuesday, during a meeting of ruling LDP executives reportedly conveyed Abe's intentions and relayed the party's determination to get all of its candidates fielded in the race
