A national political adviser has called on the government to utilize experts attracted to China through overseas recruitment programs to help foster homegrown talent, as the country seeks innovation-driven development.Wang Pu, a professor at Beijing University of Technology, returned to China after spending more than 10 years honing his knowledge and skills in Australia and the United Kingdom.Since I came back, I have fostered a group of students who have the ability and mindset to innovate, and I have also helped them build self-confidence, he said. That's my greatest contribution to society.Wang, a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was speaking on the sidelines of the advisory body's annual session in Beijing.The academic, who specializes in high-power fiber lasers, received a doctorate from Australia's Macquarie University and worked at Southampton University's Optoelectronics Research Centre in the UK before moving back to China in 2009.He was recruited through the Recruitment Program of Global Experts, better known as the Thousand Talents Plan, which was launched by the central government in 2008 to encourage high-level Chinese talent studying or working overseas to return home.After 10 years of development, the mission of the Thousand Talents Plan should focus on fostering China's next generation of talent, Wang said.In the past, the program was dedicated to attracting talented overseas Chinese who have mastered core technologies, but now it has reached a transition point, which I believe should highlight the fostering and development of talent.He said people recruited through the program who bring cutting-edge technologies will likely want to live in major cities and work at top universities with better facilities, equipment and laboratories.But the geographical distribution of talent could be more diverse if the program is aimed at fostering talent, he said.As a beneficiary, Wang hailed the recruitment program for providing China with innovative talent, young professionals and foreign experts, which in turn has significantly improved the nation's level of scientific research.Wang's field of expertise, high-power fiber lasers, can be used in many stages in the manufacture of communications, computer and consumer products, such as iPhones.By developing our own technology, we have reduced the cost of fiber laser marking machines from 120,000 yuan ($19,000) - the price for importing the equipment - to less than 10,000 yuan for a domestically made product, he [email protected]cheap custom wristbands no minimumbuy rubber wristbandsxl silicone wristbandsjac vanek rubber braceletreebok crossfit rubber bracelet
China will start a national campaign to combat criminal gangs and organized crime and to wipe out their protection umbrellas, an effort that will be integrated with the fight against corruption involving low-ranking officials, a notice from the nation's top leaders said on Wednesday.To implement the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress and written instruction from General Secretary Xi Jinping, the campaign is designed to ensure people's contented life, social stability and long-term peace, said the notice, which was jointly released by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, China's Cabinet.Clues pointing to protection umbrellas should be examined with priority, and anyone involved will be investigated and punished no matter who they are, the notice said.Crackdowns on protection umbrellas and gang-related crimes should be investigated at the same time, especially as they relate to poverty alleviation, it said.The campaign should be promoted in a systematic and legal way, and the crackdown on gang-related crimes should be coordinated with anti-corruption efforts to hit flies, the notice said. A fly is a term to signify a low-ranking official found violating Party discipline or clean governance rules.The campaign should integrate with inspections at the grassroots level, which can effectively crack down on gang-related crimes and deter gang organizers, it said. What's more important, a long-term process should be forged to continue enhancing the people's sense of gains, happiness and safety, it said.The campaign will focus on gang-related and organized crimes in key areas, professions and fields that have gained a dislike from the public, the notice said. Legal and public security authorities also should coordinate better, it said.Gang organizers, key members and protection umbrellas should be punished severely in accordance with the law.Connection networks and protection umbrellas must be eliminated, while more efforts should be made to strengthen buildups in grassroots political structures and legal systems, State Councilor Guo Shengkun, head of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the CPC Central Committee, said in a teleconference on Tuesday.He Bing, a law professor at China University of Political Science and Law, said the integration of the crackdown on gang-related and organized crimes with anti-corruption efforts is necessary.Corruption must be removed from grassroots governments, otherwise the crackdown will not achieve its goal, He said. Political power must be used and then gangs will be truly eradiated, He said.
