The elderly people are difficult to seek medical advice,the elderly dependency ratio is soaring,finance fails to bear such heavy load,and social endowment service pressure is also constantly increasing. Traditional endowment mode is already incapable of satisfying current endowment demands. On the basis of the population aging,this paper came up with the new endowment mode " hospital + nursing home" and analyzed its feasibility. Finally,it reached the conclusion that this endowment mode is helpful for solving problems of endowment and medical care,and alleviating the problem of population aging.展开更多

Some people may think this is a limited view, and I agree with that. I have visited many provinces, but China is too vast and diverse to fully describe in a short essay.I have been coming to work and live in China since 2001, but describing China is still difficult, as words are not enough. Like most places with a different context,in terms of governance, language and culture, it needs to be experienced to be even partially understood.展开更多

We estimate a gravity model of trade using a Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood estimator, and estimate trade potential using in-sample, out-of-sample and counterfactual approaches. We compare trade potential using these three methods for Silk Road country trades with China. Next, we compare the estimated trade potential to actual trade, and find that most Silk Road countries are underperforming in their trade with China. However, trade performance against potential improved for most countries over the years 1990-2013. Our results suggest that China＇s former Silk Road trading partners have yet to realize the full potential benefits of China＇s economic growth but that the gap may be narrowing.展开更多

Conversely, the EU has not been a focus for Chinese investments, nor has Chinese investment been important to the EU despite the wide attention given to recent landmark cross-border acquisitions. Therefore, the overall impact of Chinese investment on the European economy is small. However, this situation might now be changing following institutional changes in the EU. In light of the potential for Chinese foreign direct investment to the EU, in this paper we outline the motives for, and patterns of Chinese outward investments to the EU, and the impacts that these investments might exert on the recipient.展开更多

In the aftermath of World War II, the future of Europe was proactively shaped by the United States, or more precisely, by a group of American ＂wise men.＂ But now China is in a position to have an unprecedented impact on European integration.展开更多

One of the most significant marks of the Chinese identity, the Chinese writing system, is both hypermodern and antique, it is avant-garde design and paleography, the signature of fashion and a perplexing relic.展开更多
