In my book, RETURN TO THE MIDDLE KINGDOM, the heading of the 7th chapter is: Blending Confucius, Lincoln, and Marx, in which I explain what kind of society that Sun Yatsen, with the assistance of Eugene Chen, tried to create. It would be a harmonious society (Confucian conception summed up in the ancient classic, BOOK OF RITES) in which there would be “a government of the people, by the people, and for the people” (Lincoln), and there would be no inequalities of wealth (Marx). Of course they need cash to realize their vision. Where would the money come frome They would use trade to earn it from the West to build a “socialism with limited capitalism.” This is the prototype of the “socialism with Chinese characteristics,” coined by the Communist Party after they decided to switch Marx economy to marketing economy in late 1970s.

Some of what is new in my book, RETURN TO THE MIDDLE KINGDOM, reveals historical details about China unknown in the West, or even in China itself, for that matter. For example, I highlight my late father-in-law Eugene Chen’s role in the “Russia-oriented” policy of Sun Yatsen. Eugene was the key, the historical hinge, that led to the alliance of Sun Yatsen’s Kuomintang (Nationalist Party) and the Communist Party in early 1920s. This policy opened the door for communists, including Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, to join the Kuomintang; it also gave the governed, for the first time in Chinese history, the right to have their say in the governing, and this began to unleash a power in the vast peasant population never seen before.

In my view, the current relations of US and China is like a marriage of convenience. There are so many joint ventures between them, and they would rather stay married, at least for a while, than divorce. But nothing will remain unchanged as time goes by. Sometimes affection might germinate if they keep the communication open; other times they might tear apart if they shut off one another.

If you intend to visit Beijing to watch the Olympics and experience the gathering of nations firsthand, there is no shortage of quality hotels within this great Chinese city for you to select from. In fact, you’ll have numerous 5-star hotels to choose from that will allow you to enjoy a luxurious stay in Beijing as you enjoy the excitement that the Olympics brings.

There are so many quality hotels in Beijing that choosing the right one might seem like an overwhelming task. To help you decide, let’s look at some of the best 5-star hotels in Beijing, comparing their offerings and locations. Most are close to key destinations, tourist attractions and other famous sites. Therefore, you really can’t go wrong with any of these great choices.

Have you been feeling the itch to send your small business globale Many are in your shoes–seeing the benefits of business expansion but also fearing the risk of taking products abroad. Although exporting your products may expand your business and bring higher sales, the task may seem daunting to a small business with fewer resources than a large company. But if you take your time and research the process, going global with your company may garner more rewards than costs.

So it’s official. The French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, will be attending the opening of the Olympic games in Beijing,

After a “productive” 30-minute meeting with the Chinese president, Hu Jintao, Sarkozy’s office officially released the news on Wednesday that it had already leaked to the French media last Friday.

To many in France, the news will have come as much of a surprise as suddenly discovering that the Pope is Catholic.

Basically it was always on the cards right back in March when Sarkozy first started digging himself into something of a diplomatic hole by saying he was shocked by China’s security clampdown in Tibet and urging Beijing to re-open discussions with the exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama.

To work legally in China, you need the following:

*Z-visa (aka working visa)

*Foreign Expert/Work Certificate

*Residence permit

BEFORE LEAVING YOUR COUNTRY

Before leaving your country, you need to obtain a Z-visa. The other two certificates are obtained in China.

In order to enter China, you can apply for one of four different types of visas.

1. Working (Z) visa

2. Tourist (L) visa

3. Business (F) visa

4. Student (X) visa

Z-VISA

The Z-visa allows you to come into China with the intention to work. It is a single-entry visa that is valid for 30 days after arriving in China.

At an official Olympic Torch ceremony, one of China’s leaders, while referring to Tibet said, “We can definitely smash the separatist plot of the Dalai Lama clique completely.”

Hardly in the spirit of uniting humanity for the Olympics, he probably feels that he did nothing wrong. After all, the communist party in China always gets its way, doesn’t ite This official was undoubtedly experiencing a self-righteous moment. Sixty years of documented history recounts the CCP’s (Chinese Communist Party’s) brutal rule over China. By crook or by hook, the CCP will carry the day. Or rather, they will try to do so.

My book, RETURN TO THE MIDDLE KINGDOM: One Family, Three Revolutionaries, and the Birth of Modern China, begins in the middle of the 19th century when China was nicknamed, by the Western Powers, as the “Sick Man of East.” When Eugene Chen (my late father-in-law), fought to get rid of this label, there were other characters in my book who were fighting the same good fight. One was Zhang Boling, a great educator, who founded Nankai School on the principles of the American educational system after he had graduated from his American Alma Mater, and made the school sports an important part of training. The slogan was: Healthy people makes a strong nation.

A recent CNN NEWS article refers to the violence over upcoming Zimbabwe elections to include the hands of opposition supporters being chopped off in order to discourage them from voting. Many more were beaten and displaced according to the article.

I would like to suggest that this is a sad day. But the truth is, it is no sadder than other days on planet Earth. From the persecution of Falun Gong in China, to the problems in Sudan, to terrorist acts across the globe, violence is, or rather always has been, a plague on humanity.
