So many people disappointed in their HaoQi Bags. Doesn’t this happen every time? The odds of getting something you want/like in a random assortment are about the same as winning a lottery.

Development is defined as change directed toward improving human welfare (Miller, 361). I took this picture at Victoria Harbor of Hong Kong, China. China is a challenging country to define. The dominant narrative across much of the world is of China as a rising hegemony, the next great superpower, and a global economic powerhouse. China has accomplished a remarkable feat in transforming itself from one of the world’s poorest countries to its second largest economy in just 30 years. With a population of 1.3 billion, China is increasingly playing an important and influential role in development and in the global economy, which has been the largest contributor to world growth since the global financial crisis of 2008. Riding the upsurge of economic success has improved the lives of millions. From more comfortable living environment to the staggering raises in salary, life for the average Chinese citizen entered into a new age. China’s 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) and the newly approved 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) highlight the development of services and measures to address environmental and social imbalances, setting targets to reduce pollution, to increase energy efficiency, to improve access to education and healthcare, and to expand social protection. The annual growth target in the 12th Five-Year Plan was 7 percent and the growth target in the 13th Five-Year Plan is 6.5 percent, reflecting the rebalancing of the economy and the focus on the quality of growth while still maintaining the objective of achieving a “moderately prosperous society” by 2020 (doubling GDP for 2010-2020).

Given the prevailing focus on its rapid economic rise, it is easy to forget that poverty, which defined as lack of access to tangible or intangible resources that contribute to life and the well-being of a person, group, country, or region (Miller, 361), remains one of its greatest challenges. Seventy million Chinese people still live in extreme poverty (compared with 300 million in India, 100 million in Nigeria, and 25 million in Ethiopia), struggling to survive, often in appalling conditions. While China’s economic success over the past decades has indeed been remarkable, the sheer size of its population means that, in terms of GDP per capita, it still ranks only 83rd in the world. What’s more, it suffers from dangerous levels of income inequality, with a Gini coefficient of 0.462. The vast majority of China’s poor live in rural areas, which have benefited much less from the growth driven by the powerhouse cities of the east and where people still rely heavily on agriculture and subsistence farming. Agriculture remains a key pillar of the Chinese economy; 35% of the world’s farms are in China (compared to 9% in sub-Saharan Africa) and, even today, 50% of the population remains in the rural agricultural sector. Rural poverty is further compounded by China’s enormous health burden; the country has the world’s third largest TB epidemic, for example, and more than a million Chinese people die every year as a result of smoking.

With a truly remarkable track record, China is undoubtedly a world-leader in poverty reduction and improving health outcomes and there is a lot the rest of the world can learn from its experience. The world celebrated the success of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and set out new targets to reach by 2030. The first of the MDGs, to halve global poverty within 15 years, was realized several years before the 2015 deadline, which was a spectacular achievement. China would be justified in claiming considerable credit for this success; an astonishing 439 million of the approximately one billion people lifted out of extreme poverty since 1990 were Chinese. In 2015, the UNDP calculated that China had contributed 76% of all global poverty reduction to date.

I just got my shipping notice for my MoC HaoQi bag! I have had nightmares about it the last couple of nights. That it contained MSD clothing that was useless to me, that the doll was an awful vinyl knock-off...I have to be realistic and consider the possibility that I may not like anything in it, I may end up eBaying the lot. But I'm still excited. My last couple of lucky bags have been a bit hit and miss but I think it's time my luck turned around!

This person is a Chinese student, who is also a circular migrant between China and America. Circular migration (Miller, 341) is defined as a regular pattern of population movement between two or more places. It may occur within or between countries. She comes to the U.S. every January and August and goes back to China every December and May for vacation. This may be one of the most dominant circular migration waves in the world. China is the leading source of international students for foreign universities and colleges, and even more of its young people are preparing to go abroad to study over the next five years, according to an education policy adviser. Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference’s National Committee estimates that the number of Chinese studying abroad each year will peak at between 700,000 and 800,000. Considering China’s economic growth and rising household incomes, the annual amount of Chinese studying abroad will come to a head within five years. Studying overseas fosters a global outlook and broadens students’ minds. The Chinese government tries to promote this kind of circular migration since there will be more and more educated students coming back to devote their energy to this country. We have the visiting scholar program, which will allow thousands of students studying abroad without paying tuitions. Last year, the Chinese government also proposed and launched a regional economic strategy, The belt and Road Initiative. The Initiative will boost further opportunities for students to pursue the education in countries and regions along the routes of the initiative. As a circular migrant, I am so thrilled to have the chance touching a completely different culture. The experience will enable me to be more inclusive, and provide me with a broader range to develop.

As one of the international students in America, she is also related to institutional migrants (Miller，343). As mentioned by Professor Miller, International students face severe challenges of spatial and cultural relocation. They are at greater risk of adjustment stress than are local students. Chinese students who pursue their higher education in America benefit from the high quality of education in this country, which includes a richness and diversity of subjects, facility of research resources, and high academic standards. At the same time, they are under pressure, which results from culture shock and includes fear of failing, the language barrier, lack of class participation, homesickness, and isolation from their host culture, resulting in mental problems such as depression, frustration, and students dropping out. The negative influence of Chinese cultural values on these students in American higher education is significant, which also involves Chinese students’ dependence on their family, the Confucian middle way, the concept of “mianzi,” and filial piety. For example, plagiarism. In a lot of schools in China, it seems that they teach students by having them memorize stuff. The closer their answers are to the book, the higher the score they receive. On top of that, teachers in China seem not to enforce academic integrity as much as in the U.S. While in the U.S., copying a book or any other source without citing it is plagiarism. Many Chinese students every year are expelled or fail classes for plagiarism. Some of them don't want to write the paper, so they copy the textbook. Some of them conducted plagiarism action accidentally; they think wording their sentences like the textbook makes their sentences more correct, but they aren't intentionally cheating). International administrators would need to understand better how to assess and resolve the problems that Chinese students face, thereby minimizing cultural clash and the difficulties of acclimating to a new environment. By addressing these problems, American universities will be better able to accept the incoming multicultural students, the majority of whom are Chinese, and bridge the gap that separates them from their American counterparts to enhance the learning environment for all students.

Social stratification is defined as a set of hierarchical relationships among different groups as though they were arranged in layers (Miller, p218). This photo is a very cute girl at the Gallery of Art. The fancy outfit she wore represents good economic standing. Besides that, the motivation of parents for bringing her there can also reflect the high cultural quality of them. While in China, there are a huge amount of children who cannot afford the price of school, who do not have the educational resources at all. Even some of them need to worry about the resource of foods and clothes. The children who born in rural areas may not have the chance to visit the gallery of art during their lifetime. The social mobility in China has highly restricted the growth of the next generation in the rural area regardless of the economic development in recent years. It takes extremely hard time and the significant amount of efforts for their parents who have little knowledge to support their children improve their life standard, to improve their social status. It is impossible nowadays for a farmer to step into the middle class of China. Education might be one of the solutions, but there are fewer and fewer students from rural area entering into the top universities of China. On the contrary, there are more and more children lived in cities getting the chance to study abroad. Huge efforts are needed in order to achieve the movement of social stratification.

Achieved position is described as a person’s standing in society based on qualities that the person has gained through action（Miller, p218）. The Ambassador of China to the United of America, Mr. Cui Tiankai, also known as the great examples for improvement and development coming from education. He was born in a family with low income, and cannot even afford his education. While he struggled and tried his best to get the qualification to enter into the best diplomatic school in China. During his role in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, he is also known as the most hard-working person in the ministry. He undertook various of the difficult tasks and finished them with the appreciation of the minister. After 20 years, he became the vice minister of ministry of foreign affairs, then he got the role of the Ambassador of China to the United States. I think it is the perfect example of the achieved position.

A cultural broker is someone who is familiar with two cultures and can promote communication and understanding across them. This photo is Henry Kissinger’s On China. On China not only addresses the central role he played in Nixon’s opening to China but also tries to show how the history of China, both ancient and more recent, has shaped its foreign policy and attitudes toward the West. This book has a significant influence on people in the western world, especially on the American. Kissinger knew both American and Chinese cultures a lot so he could utilize its unique advantage, to show the world a true China on an objective view. At that period, because of the ideological conflicts, China had a relatively intense relationship with the western world. American people often viewed China as a feudalism country. It is difficult for American people to fully understand China if they didn’t change their basic views towards China. They would continue to regard China with a kind of “stereotype”. Kissinger provided them with the proper standing and acceptable evaluations based on Western values. While at the same time, he analyzed the situation based on Chinese culture and values. It is why this book is widely spread in both hemispheres.

Medical pluralism describes the existence of more than one health system in a culture; also, a government policy to promote the integration of local healing systems into biomedical practice. This is a kind of medicine sold in China, which is designed and produced using Chinese traditional medical method and western medical method. Usually, Chinese traditional medicine will have lower side-effect but poorer curative effect; Western medicine will have more side-effect but better curative effect. People in China get to choose which one they want to use to treat their disease. Mixed-Medicine solves this problem wonderfully: it combined western and eastern; it had a more curative effect but a lower side-effect. This is a good example of medical pluralism. Besides that, the two kinds of medical method are both popular in China. Elders prefer to choose traditional one because they relied on this for decades. Young people prefer to choose the western one because they want a more curative effect.
