Session #2 - February 11

[Billie Johnson]

I think there's still that one foot in the past and needing to retain power. I think you will see these policies slowly fade away with the people who are holding onto them. There's a new era that will be ushered into China. If we take into account all of the changes that are taking place now I doubt that these bygone policies will last much longer. Major changes will take place...they have to.

I truly appreciate your insight as well as how you are incorporating the Urban vs. Rural divide in your AP class.  This, alone, is a major concern around the world, and the equity in distributed resources is the evidence.  China definitely has a very interesting journey in its worldy economic development.

I felt a little lost with this too. What was the purpose for the videos, who was the target audience? Perhaps the government thinks of themselves as much more superior than the common person? Their view of the people as that of children and that was a way to communicate on their level?

Diana, I am curious to know how your experience living in Shenzen impacts the way you teach about China.  I understand your comments about how China changes at a very rapid pace.  Having first hand experience living in the country must have been remarkable on many levels.  Especially living in a SEZ!

[Kelly McKee]

Yes, I agree with your comments about future economic problems.  Many other countries are currently facing a lack of people for their work force.  It is hard to believe that this could actually occur in China in the near future.  Shifting the one child policy was done in the interest of the overall economy.  This is something that most western European countries are currently faceing due to many families deciding to not have children or just havine one child.

Benjamin, I have also been curious about the 5G networks in addition to Juawei and all of the controversy around it.  As an American citizen I use the Chinese WeChat app all the time here in the US and when I travel overseas.  It works really well and is reliable.  I never really think of the US-China network controveries when using the app.
