What They Say

I strongly call for the reasonable coordination between kindergartens and elementary schools, hoping that the whole society can pay attention to enrollment based on children's maturity, and that schools do not simply use the natural age as the admission criterion.”  
Qian Zhiliang, an associate professor at Beijing Normal University, hoped to keep the system of delay, meaning that kids who are not ready to move on to elementary school can stay down a year, according to China Youth Daily. 

“Traditionally, the Western answer for how to develop the economy is always to liberalize investment and trade. The answer to the same question in China or Asia is different, and will be that infrastructure and interconnection are more crucial.” 
Lin Guijun, deputy director of the University of International Business and Economics, said when an economy's development is in its infancy, the role of infrastructure and interconnection is more important than investment and trade liberalization, and the “One Belt, One Road” initiative adds new energy to the development, and that these two parts are not contradictory, as reported by news site www.economy.caixin.com.  

“The intensive measures also bring more severe repercussions to China in comparison with the US and Western Europe, since these motivations result in the sharp rise of China’s debt, more serious overcapacity and other structural problems, and the problem of real estate and infrastructure bubbles is more prominent as well.” 
Chen Zhiwu, a professor at Yale University, the University of Hong Kong and Peking University, analyzed lessons of the subprime mortgage crisis after 10 years, reported by the news portal www.finance.ifeng.com.
