发生"Some media claim that the Chinese investment would cause pollution in the host country," he said地震"He said the reasons to choose Congo for the visit are that Congo boasts a sound investment environment, the infrastructure construction shows a growing momentum and the Chinese enterprises are willing to be involved in the industrialization process of the country

震源深度Lyu also eased local worries about the pollution that comes along with industrialization千米[Photo by Pan Zhongming/China Daily]Brazzaville, Congo - The Chinese Council for the Promotion of the South-South Cooperation has launched a new wave to explore the French-speaking western African markets in Cameroon, Cote D'Ivoire and Congo (Brazzaville) by leading a 30-odd member delegation of entrepreneurs to visit the countries川雅安市芦山县Addressing the conference on investment and trade between China and Congo (Brazzaville) on Monday, Annick Patricia Mongo, director general of the Agency for the Promotion of Investment in Congo, said that she hoped Congo could be the country of priority for Chinese entrepreneurs to invest in central Africa发生"And we will not allow the overseas projects invested in by Chinese investors to cause pollution地震"It was true during the first 30 years of China's opening-up while China was attracting foreign investment, pollution was an issue," he said

震源深度First, Congo has set up the Sino-Congolese Bank for Africa (BSCA), a joint venture between the Congolese government and the Agriculture Bank of China; Congo is a portal country to the Western African market, with a deep-water port on the west coast along the Atlantic Ocean; the political situation in Congo is quite stable; the government of Congo approved to promote investment in the country in 2015 and the Agency for the Promotion of Investment in Congo will provide detailed information on investment and opportunities to enter the country千米"Besides, the Congolese government can adopt the most strict standards on pollution for the Chinese companies and the Chinese investors will consciously follow the rules and regulations set by the Congolese government, he said川雅安市芦山县What three words would you use to describe China today? Revitalizing, changing, confident

发生In 2000, with Cho's help, the Banyang Elementary School - in which she had studied - began teaching Chinese地震"I told him that we had just started here and we should at least spend five years in the city before judging whether we should move to another place," Cho said震源深度"There were even South Korean businessmen who intended to invest in Hefei but decided to invest in Shanghai and Nanjing instead, as they found the two cities to be more developed," she added千米China is a big country, so officials have to collaborate with each other well

I don't believe the Western countries' political practices could work in China, though many of them are considered successful by the Westerners themselvesFirst, China is playing an increasingly important role in the world, so some neighboring countries, and especially some developed Western countries may regard China as a challenger to the power they have maintained for many years

She has helped more than 3,000 students from Anhui to study in her country, and more than 1,000 were given job opportunities thereOne of the results is that the Chinese people are more confident than ever about their country's developmentIt's hard to make long-term predictions, but I hope China can keep its own development pace and have its own development patternsI believe that in the coming five years, the gap between coastal and inland regions will be narrowed

Opening up to the world has brought dramatic changes to the coastal regions, which have been more developed that the inland areasCho's brothers and sisters also brought their children to HefeiThe younger one attended Anhui University of Chinese Medicine and earned bachelor's and master's degrees there"When the eldest of my two sons was in the third year of middle school, his history teacher, who had some experience in China, suggested the students go to live there and have a close look at the old country," Cho said

Before coming to China as an adult, she worked at Soon Chun Hyang University as a teacher"On the visit to Hefei, I found it was not very developed but thought it would have great potential

To better promote the educational exchanges, Cho and her husband founded the Handa Cultural Exchange Co in Hefei in 2006, with Cho as presidentShe herself knew little of the province or its capital at that time, so she decided to have a look before taking her family there

"In the five years since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, China has invested more than ever before in poverty relief, and President Xi Jinping has vowed to eliminate poverty by 2020," Cho notedShe is now helping the development area build a China-South Korea Industry Park, and she has already brought in three South Korean companies to invest in the city's high-tech zoneOfficials should all start from basic positions and get promotions graduallyHe has been trying his best to achieve what he has vowed to doI became the first South Korean person to receive the Chinese Central Government's Friendship Award in 2002 and the first from my country to get permanent residency in China in 2006We didn't expect that we would come to love the country as much as we do," said Cho, who speaks fluent Mandarin

Some of China's practices are also worth learning, such as how it trains its officials" What do you feel has been China's biggest achievement over the past five years? What's the most notable change you've observed? China has achieved much in many aspects over the last five years

Over the last 21 years, South Korean teacher Cho Sung-hye has contributed much to the friendship between the people of her country and ChinaA remarkable South Korean teacher took up residence in Hefei, Anhui province, at the urging of her young son and never looked back

"Nowadays all the primary schools in my country have made Chinese-language courses available to students," said Cho, who was believed by some local media to have given the strongest push to the achievementIt was the first primary school in the country to do so

"At the peak, I had 21 relatives living here, and there are still 12 of them now," Cho saidFor the last five years, the air has been clearing upWhat do you think China will be like in five years' time? How do you view China's longer-term future? Chinese people's incomes have increased significantly in recent years and they will become richer in the next five years" Cho and her husband have also donated hundreds of thousands of yuan to help prevent the children of poverty-stricken rural families in Anhui from dropping out of school

Cho said the number of the poverty-stricken students is declining, and they can now get more financial support from the government, rather than relying on occasional social donationsDo you believe that some of China's experiences or practices could be used to solve pressing global problems? If so, what are they? China has a very mature and comprehensive system to foster leadership

What are your expectations for the upcoming 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China? What are the key issues you care about most? I think China loves peace more than some of the developed countriesIn recent years, I have received numerous awards from the Chinese government

And she has brought even more students from South Korea to ChinaBy comparing these figures, Pew seems to suggest that China and the US are engaging in a popularity contest in the Philippines

Meanwhile, two-thirds say having a strong economic relationship with China is more important for ties between the two nations, while only 28 percent say being tough with China on territorial disputes is more vitalFully 86 percent have a favorable view of Duterte himself; 78 percent support his handling of the illegal-drugs issue; and 62 percent say that the Philippines government is making progress in its anti-drug campaignThat was certainly not the policy under Obama when he launched the US pivot-to-Asia policy, trying to gang up US allies on ChinaAnd on global economic status, about half of Filipinos (49 percent) say that the US is still the leading economic power, but that is down from 66 percent who said so in 2015

But Filipinos also share positive views of China and its leader, President Xi JinpingSince becoming Philippines president in June 2016, Rodrigo Duterte has refused to be used by the US to advance its strategy

However, the Pew survey finds that Duterte and his policies are widely popular at home despite concerns expressed by some governments, in particular the US, over Duterte's clashes with drug cartels and alleged human rights violationsIn 2014, the Philippines was still led by Aquino III

This represents a dramatic shift since that question was last asked in 2015It clearly suggests that one's gain is another's loss
