What they said

1 To facilitate the transition from agriculture to more efficient employment in industry and services, the household registration system needs be relaxed and immigrants from the countryside should be offered the same access to social services as local urban workers. The Government should provide more education suitable to job requirements in the new economy, which require more technical skills. Christopher A. Pissarides, professor from the London School of Economics and Political Science 2 Innovation is a breakthrough based on solutions. Nobody can ensure innovation leads to success. But one thing is certain: development without innovation, no matter how long it is sustained, will not succeed. Falk Hoehn, from Germany, visiting professor of Hefei University. 3 As for “Made in China 2025”, the first stage of the strategy and planning was clearly laid out by Chinese leaders. Now, as for the second stage, industry leaders should take leadership in building and driving quality-driven industry. With leadership from industry, “Made in China 2025” based on quality and trust will change the image of Chinese products eventually. Jongseong Lim, vice-president of the Gee ly Research and Development Center 4 We could communicate more of China’s message by focusing on big projects initiated by China. For instance, the One Road One Belt Initiative, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and many others. People in the world want to know these projects, and the possible impact on their lives. We could feed our readers’ needs while explaining to the world an innovative, peaceful, and responsible modern China.
