It would appear that many good films, unfortunately, hit walls, which is the wall of their national boundary. In 2017, the movie made Youth (Fang Hua) was a box office hit in the People's Republic of China, the sixth largest grossing movie in the country that year. The film showed the dynamic transformation of young idealistic people in the 1970s, and their tribulations during China’s Cultural Revolution and China’s war with Vietnam. The movie also shows the first experiences of Chinese to American technology of the time period such as music cassette players. While the movie was written by the talented Chinese American, Geling Yan and directed by one of the most influential Chinese directors Xiaogang Feng - the film received very scant attention from American audiences. As of this writing, the movie has been released for over a year but has not been the subject of much discussion outside of China.
NEW YORK- In the vicinity of college point, within the Queens borough of New York City plans for the creation of a homeless shelter. These plans were originally conceived in a private transaction that was not disclosed to the public for many months. Two individuals purposely sold their apartments to an non for profit agency. In order to avoid counsel with the tenants and landowners of the community the deal was kept secret from the public for months. Currently, against the will of the neighborhood, the shelter is expected to open in September and has the perhaps unwise support of the NYC municipal government. Allegedly the seller of the property is a close associate to mayor Mark De Blasio.

# Trial reveals Harvard has different SAT standards for each race
Harvard University's dean of admissions has testified the Ivy League school applies different SAT score standards to prospective students based on factors such as race, but insisted the practice is not discriminatory.
Students for Fair Admissions, a group headed by legal strategist Edward Blum, sued Harvard in 2014 claiming Asian-Americans, who have the highest academic records, unfairly receive the lowest admission rate at the elite school.
Regardless of the outcome of the three-week, non-jury trial in Boston that began Monday, the lawsuit involving affirmative action and backed by the Trump administration is expected to reach the Supreme Court.
William Fitzsimmons, the 30-year dean of admissions, who oversees the screening process of about 40,000 applicants and narrows them down to 2,000 acceptance letters that are handed out each year, testified that African-Americans, Native Americans, and Hispanic high schoolers with mid-range SAT scores out of a possible 1600 combined math and verbal, are sent recruitment letters with a score as low as 1100, whereas Asian-Americans need to score at least 250 points higher – 1350 for women and 1380 for men.
“That’s race discrimination, plain and simple,” argued John Hughes, a lawyer for SFFA.
“It is not,” Fitzsimmons shot back, adding that the school targets certain groups to “break the cycle” and convince students who normally wouldn’t consider applying to the Ivy League school.

Asian-Americans would comprise 43% of the freshman class if admission hinged solely on academics
BOSTON—Were admission to Harvard based solely on academic merit, Asian-Americans would comprise 43% of the freshman class, while African-Americans would make up less than 1%, according to an internal Harvard report discussed at a trial here Wednesday.
Lawyers representing a nonprofit that has sued the school alleging intentional discrimination against Asian-American applicants dug deep into the internal 2013 study in court. In the process, they highlighted whether some criteria Harvard uses to assess candidates put Asian-American candidates at a disadvantage and how little the admissions dean did with the data when he received the report five years ago.
U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs will decide after the three-week trial whether Harvard’s admissions practices violate federal civil-rights law.
The internal study, conducted by Harvard’s Office of Institutional Research and labeled as preliminary, simulated what the admitted class would look like depending on which factors Harvard’s admissions office considered. The upshot: Asian-Americans fared best when the class was crafted based on academics alone.
The share of Asian-Americans shrinks to 31.4% when recruited athletes and the children of Harvard graduates are factored in.

The trial over the use of race in admissions at Harvard University — brought on behalf of Asian-American students — only started on Monday, but experts already anticipate it will become a landmark case, affecting diversity in higher education and affirmative action policies across the country.
The lawsuit — brought in federal district court in Boston — alleges that Harvard discriminates against Asian-American applicants, holding them to a higher standard than students of other races and using an illegal racial quota system.
Harvard denies that any of its practices are discriminatory and has defended its “holistic” admissions process.

Vice President Mike Pence’s Remarks on the Administration’s Policy Towards China. Hudson Institute
Recently, Vice President Pence unveiled a litany of concerns with China, ranging from alleged Chinese interference in U.S. elections, to continued trade frictions, to persecution of minority religious groups within China, to cyber concerns, to provocative military encounters in the South China Sea. Whichever refrain is used, “The gauntlet has been thrown down.” (medieval) or “The Rubicon has been crossed.” (ancient), there is no turning back from this point in U.S.-China strategic relations. Many in China will simply view Pence’s speech as mere confirmation of the U.S.’s desire to safeguard its global hegemony by containing China outright through a new Cold War. Unfortunately, this containment will also extend to the wisdom and sagacity of the American people.

I would like to clarify this question by citing Chinese-American voters, who strongly support United States President Donald J. Trump, rather than refer to Chinese citizens here. That’s because I will go ahead to assume that the Chinese are patriots if they are Chinese passport holders.
One would expect a Chinese patriot to express concerns over Trump’s tough tactics on trade talks with Beijing. Hence, if they claim to support the current US President, they might make sarcastic remarks.
So let’s go ahead and address Chinese-Americans, who hold US passports, therefore more supportive of USA than their native country. There’s nothing wrong with such notions, because your heart is wherever your real home is.

Identity politics has engulfed the humanities and social sciences on American campuses; now it is taking over the hard sciences. The STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and math —are under attack for being insufficiently "diverse." The pressure to increase the representation of females, blacks, and Hispanics comes from the federal government, university administrators, and scientific societies themselves. That pressure is changing how science is taught and how scientific qualifications are evaluated. The results will be disastrous for scientific innovation and for American competitiveness.
A scientist at UCLA reports: "All across the country the big question now in STEM is: how can we promote more women and minorities by 'changing' (i.e., lowering) the requirements we had previously set for graduate level study?"

Asian Americans are “overrepresented” in certain elite schools relative to their numbers in the U.S. population. In pursuit of racial and ethnic diversity, these schools will admit some Asian American applicants but not as many as their academic qualifications would justify. As a case study, I examine three private universities and Asian American enrollment in those universities over time.

Caltech has no affirmative action. The number of Asian American undergraduates has increased, quite steeply since 2000. They make up more than 40% of Caltech students today.

MIT uses race as a factor in admissions, but not legacy connections. The rise in number of Asian Americans at MIT is halted in the 1990s. Peaking at 29%, the percentage of Asian Americans at MIT has stalled at around 26%.
-
At Harvard, Asian Americans as a percentage of all undergraduates sharply increased to 21%, then significantly dropped and has stayed at roughly 17%. Harvard uses race as a factor in admissions, along with legacy connections.

A major clash between China and the United States is inevitable.

U.S. policy makers are also adopting an adversarial stance, as when the FBI director Christopher Wray commented before Congress
Indeed, given China’s expressed goal of technological leadership, having scores of students come to the United States to study seems like an obvious part of its plan. But Wray’s comment starts with an assumption that Chinese individuals are a monolithic force, moving in lockstep with the Chinese government.
That assumption, however, is misguided.

There is an interesting view that has been floated around the former Soviet Union here recently. This view pertains to economics and positive force in creation of the middle class in the United States. Prior to the Cold War, many US Communists were deported to the Soviet Union. Deportations are largely believed to have lit a fire in Communists;

Military strategists, business moguls, and statesmen have long looked to the ancient Chinese strategist Sun Tzu to gather down to Earth advice on how to reach all their target goals. However, Sun Tzu is not just a philosopher for the elite. His advice has merit to everyone, and he can teach each and every one of us something about how to achieve our goals with as little conflict as possible.

When I was a young kid, I watched TV shows that addressed life after death topics. The stories followed a similar format. A person was interviewed, who explained they had died either from a tragic accident or struck down from illness, but rescuers rushed in to help restore them to life.
Many ancients saw ominous warnings in the sky. It is no big secret that stock traders and investors can be as superstitious as the mystical priests of Pharaoh’s high court.

Chinese-American attendees asked the committee to record the whole public hearing for H3361 to make sure the hearing was fair, but didn't get a clear response.
-
The staff at the hearing lied that the recording stopped at 6:00pm, not lasted to 9:20pm when the hearing officially ended.
-
On January 31, Chinese-Americans complained on social media that the hearing was not fair, since the recording didn't cover the whole thing.
-
On February 2, the committee showed the whole recording under the pressure from the Chinese community, which meant that keeping fighting worked!

This sobering statement capstones the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist’s website. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (BAS) is a collective of scientists that measure the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the posturing of these weapon holders on the current global stage. The BAS maintains what is known as the Doomsday Clock. The hands on the Doomsday Clock are moved closer to the midnight position after analysis is performed to determine the risks facing humanity from nuclear weapons and war. Once the Doomsday clock chimes midnight, the BAS believes that humanity will be on an irreversible crash-course towards nuclear annihilation.
The eternal quest for total spectrum dominance continues to play out on the world stage.

As automation and robotics begin to take over jobs that were largely staffed by semi-skilled workers, it is time for soon-to-be outsourced workers to change their skill sets.
In an article published in the U.S. publication “Forbes” back in November of 2017, a study by the McKinsey Global Institutes estimates that between 400 to 800 million jobs will be lost, globally, to automation and robotics by 2030 (Forbes.com

What is Bitcoin, and why should you care?
For those of you who are savers, investors, or interested in free trade, Bitcoin is a name you should become familiar with (if you're not trading it already)! Essentially, Bitcoin is a matter-less, unregulated currency. To be precise, it falls into a class of formless, digital currency called cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency and especially Bitcoin represent a blend of unregulated free trade, and communal mining to produce a boundary free currency with the price being set by the market and the miners.

The United States was reborn in 2016. Why I said that?
The country was founded on July the 4th, 1776. It was 240 years ago from 2016. America has survived four sixty years since 1776. According to Chinese Lunar Calendar, sixty years is a cycle of the combinations of the ten Heavenly Stems (天干) and the twelve Earthly Branches (地支), because the least common multiple of ten and twelve is sixty. Chinese use Bazi, eight characters of the Stems and the Branches to represent a certain moment on the Lunar Calendar.

In the past, Chinese-Americans were not very active in expressing our own political stance. One reason was that the population of Chinese-Americans was much less than other communities, and most of them had to go to school or work during the week days. As a result, we cannot gather as many demonstrators as other races to the street. But as more Chinese-Americans getting financially stable after years of hard work, we can use high-technology to let our be voice heard by more people, especially during this 2016 Presidential Election of America.

Hillary Clinton claims that she cares about women, children, immigrants and minorities, but as a new immigrant woman from China, I don't like her. I prefer Donald Trump instead.

One of the most common questions that Americans ask me is , "Do you Chinese eat dogs and cats?" Jokes about Asians eating dogs and cats are prevalent on the Internet, a stereotype that Chinese eat everything. I told them that only a few of minority ethnic groups eat dogs, most people not.
Since I was little, I've been asked, "Would you rather have been born a man?" Before I graduated from the college, I answered "Yes" because I would feel safer if I had a strong body. After I started to work, I changed to say "no", telling people, "Men are typically more financially stressed than women."
Many years later, I realized that women will be happier in a civilized society. Children's society is relatively less civilized than the adults' one. Having a strong body can protect me from bullying. As I stepped into the adults' world, people behave under the rules, so as long as the society is in order, enjoy being a woman.
