Its okay if you hate these ideas. These arejust the basic starting points that our groupcame up with. What wed like to do is hold aclass discussion on what the most pressingproblems are and what the best solutionswould be. The product of this final student-ledclass will (hopefully) be something like animproptu Idiots Guide to Improving Chinahandbook, representing the ideas of everyindividual in our class.

Make high school compulsory Ensure quality of education- curriculum review and update Hire more qualified teachers- worth the investment Pay teachers more to entice competitive professional teachers Build prestige for the profession of teaching think wise

leader sort of thing

Facilitate quality education to rural areas- build universitybranches Work study programs Open classes

Online classes PC government program Special, traceable computers to signify government-subsidized

PCs Distance learning for rural areas, college classes, and job

training Research encouragement Open up the ability to research Fund expanding internet access

Poverty line and below: free education GPA construction Entrance Exams: kee but shift focus. Admission to Universities

6/33

Improve communication within the countryIntroduce the rural areas to the internet and

other communications devicesLay a fiber optic network that connects the

entire countrySend government officials to oversee distant

areasRotate well-paid officials in and out of different

areas randomly to avoid corruptionConduct regular but random audits andinspections to ensure lawful practices

Establish all-purpose government-run centersto handle health care, law enforcement, etc.Easier to establish one center to handle many


7/33

Perhaps avoid rotating officialsBuild relationships with constituencyBuild experience with a certain community

Bring governments concern outwardAnonymous methods of advising and criticism

for the people

Bumper crops

Animal farming

Hydroponics!

AeroponicsApiculture

Encourage research and technology in thisarea

Facilitate access of rural areas to newtechnology


10/33

Growing plants using mineral nutrientsolutions, without SOIL!

Soil acts as a mineral nutrient reservoir (not

entirely essential)Mineral nutrients dissolve in water; plant roots

are able to absorb them

Almost any terrestrial plant will grow with

hydroponics!


11/33


12/33

Growing plants in an air or mist environmentwithout the use of soil or a medium

Can also be done in a semi-closed

environmentSpraying the plant roots with a nutrient rich

solution

Aeration of nutrient solution delivers more

oxygen to plant roots

Maintenance of bee colonies in order topollinate crops and collect honey

Diverse ClimateDevelop research on cultivating crops best

suited for the mulitude of Chineseenvironments - maximize efficiency/crop

production

Work on making the water supply moremobileInstall a better water systemLook into other methods of collecting water

RainwaterHumidity/moisture

Repeal one child policy and EAT BABIES

Get over it and just continue to trade for foodWork on diplomacy and trade

Genetic engineering of crops resistant topressures

Clean energy from renewable sourcesTake advantage of the great capacity for

hydropowerWind farmsInstall solar panels on every flat surface

possible

Mandatory recycling

Introduce green spaces into urban areasGreen architecture


18/33

Wind FarmsChinese analysts estimate that the total potential wind

power generating capacity in China exceeds 1 millionMW

Thrive in higher altitudesLand between turbines can be used for just about

anything, as long as it isnt too tallLarge wind resources are in the northern part of the

country, including Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, withvast windswept plains constituting China's "wind belt"similar to the Great Plains of the United States and

CanadaCurrently, China has an installed capacity of just over

6000 MW and is in fifth place globallyPolicymakers have set a goal of 10 GW by 2010,

however this is a mere fraction of Chinas potential

This is architecture that incorporates plant lifeinto buildings using aeroponics andhydroponics

Different types of plants have been found toremove pollution from the environmentGenetically engineered plants have been

specifically designed to remove pollution evenbetter than their natural counterparts

Raises awareness and appreciation

Several designs for farming in skyscrapershave been proposed


21/33

23/33

Getting western countries on board

- tarriffs, taxes, penalties for producingpollution over a certain amount

- make outside investors choose betweengreener practices and paying for pollutioncredits

Create a cultural movement that values green

practices and responsible stewardship of landOffer incentives for investors to engage in

green practices

- create competition

- tax breaks, preferential treatment, special

More successful and far-reaching job trainingprograms with flexible hours

Job placement program

Government will require both government-controlled operations and private businesses toregister job openings that remain open forlonger than a certain amount of time

Individuals seeking jobs enter the program, andthe government matches the individual with anemployer

This may involve relocation, additional training,etc.

Create jobs for anything and everything!

Government-subsidized jobs that benefitsocietyHydroponics, green energy government

projectsBring into rural areas and have these people

build and then operate

No tea parties - EVER


27/33

Mastercard is not an option.


28/33

Tax the growing upper classIncrease investment opportunitiesDevelopment research in applied sciences and

technologyManufacturing and marketing

Increase tax on investing companiesBalance between deterring investors and profiting

as much as possibleRent-a-convictRather than killing most of the criminals, use them!Much like the job placement program, place non-

violent criminals in jobsRather than keeping their wages, the wages go to

the countryPrisoners wear electronic GPS bracelets at all times

and are subject to evaluation by supervisorsKeep them in line by threatening to put them back


29/33

Put convicts to work and sell the products

Sell the organs of executed convictsMethods of killing the convicts without

damaging organs

Government should start pirating things
