Gertrude Mongella, announced in the coastal city of Dalian in Liaoning Province: "As Secretary-General of the Fourth World Conference on Women, I recommend that Ms. Wang Lianxiang attend the conference, and invite her to the UN headquarters in New York City to celebrate the 50th birthday of both of us." Wang, an inventor for the Chinese navy, won the top honor at the 84th International Fair in Paris—the Scientific Research Ministry Prize of the Republic of France—with her Haiwang brand, wholly airtight, colloid storage battery. Since 1990 Wang has exhibited her inventions five times at international fairs and has won gold medals each year.展开更多

As Xi said at the closing ceremony of a global governance forum co-hosted by China and France in Paris on March 26, 2019, the world now faces deficits in governance, trust, peace, and development.展开更多

Crisis is defined here as a decline in financial performance in the given sector, which leads to the decline of its constituent firms and corporations on the world economic scene. The World Economic Center Index(WECI) has been created in order to rank cities based on the value of their resident corporations by sector and show their level of stability upon the removal of the most important sector. This provides information on the potential of each analyzed city as well as on its advanced features or area of specialization. Research has shown that nearly half the World Economic Centers are dominated by the financial and materials sectors of the economy. Different sectors dominate different regions of the world. For example, consumer staples and materials were dominant in North America, while information technology and financials were dominant in Europe. In Asia, several sectors tend to dominate the economy. Research has shown that the ability of a principal economic sector to resist economic crisis largely depends on the strength of the command and control function of a city. Finally, a high globalization level of a city is a key determinant of its susceptibility to economic crisis.展开更多
