Chinese people's incomes have increased significantly in recent years and they will become richer in the next five yearsHe has been trying his best to achieve what he has vowed to doTo better promote the educational exchanges, Cho and her husband founded the Handa Cultural Exchange Co in Hefei in 2006, with Cho as president

In 2010, she was listed as one of the most influential women of the century in HefeiOfficials should all start from basic positions and get promotions gradually

Half a year later, Park returned to Hefei University and has been there ever since"In the early years, transportation between Hefei and South Korea was not convenient

Revitalizing, changing, confidentCho 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 donations

It's hard to make long-term predictions, but I hope China can keep its own development pace and have its own development patternsChina is a big country, so officials have to collaborate with each other well

The Obama administration had done everything it could to internationalize the South China Sea issue and had used the Philippines, a US ally, to advance the American strategyHowever, 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 violations

A quarter now name China as the world's leading economy, up from 14 percent the last time the Philippines was surveyedAt the same time, 78 percent believe the current economic situation is good, and 57 percent are satisfied with the direction of the country, a 21 percentage-point increase from 2014, the last time this question was asked in the PhilippinesAnd despite the Philippines being the most pro-Trump nation in Pew's spring 37-country survey, confidence in Trump now is lower than it was in then-President Barack Obama in 2015The Philippines under Duterte has tried to develop an independent foreign policy rather than being a US puppet most of the time

Since becoming Philippines president in June 2016, Rodrigo Duterte has refused to be used by the US to advance its strategyThat was certainly not the policy under Obama when he launched the US pivot-to-Asia policy, trying to gang up US allies on China

And 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 2015The survey released on Sept 21 bore a title saying people in the Philippines still favor the United States over China, but that the gap is narrowing

This represents a dramatic shift since that question was last asked in 2015Such an independent policy is dealing a heavy blow to those who still view the relationship between the three countries as zero-sum
