Announces new Leadership Center in China. Yale University is creating a new Yale Leadership Center in Beijing that will host conferences, workshops, and other events developed by all of the university’s schools and programs.
The center will open next fall. “Yale is a truly global university — in our programs and in our outlook. The new Yale Leadership Center in Beijing enables us to both expand the global reach of the university and better support the work of Yale’s schools and centers to collaborate in China,” said President Peter Salovey. The center is being funded through generous gifts from two Yale alumni: Neil Shen, managing partner of Sequoia Capital China, and Brad Huang, founder and chair of Lotus Capital Management; and by Yale friend Xiaoping (Bob) Xu, the founding partner of ZhenFund.com. Shen noted, “I hope it will become a vital intellectual hub for connecting leaders and leading institutions in all sectors, and will serve as an anchor for the growing and dynamic Yale alumni community in China.” “不作死就不会死”收入美国在线词典，看美国人如何解释中国特色词汇！ 【新朋友】点击标题下面 好外教 快速关注 即可获得价值288元的免费外教课 【老朋友】回复“我要跟好外教学口语” 也能获得免费外教课！

By Hudson Lockett on January 7th, 2014 1544 views During the 1980s, the educated elite among China’s youth had a brief window of relatively open political discourse, which many seized to loudly call for political reforms.
But then that window slammed shut. In the 90s, the “Beijing Consensus” began to emerge and the country seriously altered the way it educated its young citizens. Today, China’s youngsters seem much less interested in politics than the generation that came of age in the 1980s. But over the past few years, youth-led demonstrations have broken out protesting everything from pollution and censorship to perceived Japanese aggression. For the inaugural podcast from our new home at Project Pengyou, we’ve invited Helen Gao to help explore the political pulse of today’s young generation. Schools of Design Extend Their Reach Into Asia. Foreign universities: Campus collaboration. How China's New Love Affair with U.S. Private Schools Is Changing Them Both - Helen Gao. As Chinese students flood private American high schools, aided by high-priced "consultants," they are changing concepts of success and security back home, and leading ambitious schools to seek out more of the eager (and often full-paying) mainlanders.

They wound through New England historical villages and affluent suburban towns, in search not of photo opportunities or souvenir shops, but high schools.
In China Schools, a Culture of Bribery Spreads. Sim Chi Yin for The New York Times The demands for bribes can start before a child enters kindergarten.
Nearly everything has a price, parents and educators say, from school admissions and placement in top classes to leadership positions in Communist youth groups. Even front-row seats near the blackboard or a post as class monitor are up for sale. Zhao Hua, a migrant from Hebei Province who owns a small electronics business here, said she was forced to deposit $4,800 into a bank account to enroll her daughter in a Beijing elementary school. At the bank, she said, she was stunned to encounter officials from the district education committee armed with a list of students and how much each family had to pay. “Of course I knew it was illegal,” she said. Bribery has become so rife that Xi Jinping devoted his first speech after being named the Communist Party’s new leader this month to warning the Politburo that corruption could lead to the collapse of the party and the state if left unchecked.
