Xi Jinping: The Governance of China , Volume II, published in November 2017, following the September 2014 publication of Volume I, reflects the Chinese president’s evolved and expanded views and strategies during that time frame. The contents are the backbone of two forward-looking guidelines: Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation.
社会策略主要就是懂得合作式学习。学校和教师都应为大学生提供良好的合作学习平台。学校应举办丰富多彩的英语活动，例如，英语角、英语咖啡屋、英语话剧比赛、英语配音比赛、英语听写大赛、英语辩论赛和英语演讲比赛等活动，为学生提供更多与他人学习和交流英语的机会，展现英语水平。学生在与他人交流的过程中也能增强自信。同时，教师在课堂上要摈弃填鸭式的传统教学方法，坚持以学生为中心，在教学内容和教学任务的安排上为学生提供更多的锻炼机会，鼓励学生尝试。学生也应该积极配合教师的安排，主动争取锻炼英语的交流机会。教师要多表扬学生的参与行为，使学生获得成就感，激发社交热情，促进合作式学习的开展，提高英语水平。
1)在2%的坡度上，使用发动机制动可以将车速控制在60 km/h以内，使用液力缓速器可以将车速控制在大于18 km/h范围内。无论使用发动机制动还是液力缓速器都能保证车辆以国标规定一、二级公路速度稳定下坡。
Volume II is an over 600-page book that consists of a compilation of Xi’s major speeches, conversations and letters from August 2014 to September 2017. The 99 articles cover a multitude of important themes, some never published in English before, divided into 17 chapters and encompassing both national and international issues.
Domestically, they highlight education, the environment, the rule of law, culture, archaeology, science, poverty reduction, national defense and Communist Party of China discipline. Internationally, the focus is on global development and cooperation, economic and financial evolution, diplomacy, military cooperation and exchanges, peace, Chinese and world history, and the Belt and Road Initiative.
Nothing better illustrates the success of Xi’s global peace and prosperity policy than the Belt and Road Initiative as defi ned under a namesake chapter in Volume II.
Of particular interest are the nine articles listed under Peaceful Development and Cooperation With Other Countries, each an outline of relations between China and most of the planet: the Asia-Pacifi c region, the European Union, Africa, the Arab world, Russia, the United States and other BRICS countries.
In the fall of 2013, Xi proposed the building of the Silk Road Economic Belt while in Kazakhstan and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road while in Indonesia. One year later, in his speech at the Dialogue on Strengthening Connectivity Partnership, he reaffi rmed the importance of the Belt and Road Initiative, which he pictured as “two wings of a soaring Asia.”
长江经济带建设是国家大战略，云南要寻找自身在战略框架中的定位。习近平总书记强调，要把长江经济带建设成为我国生态文明建设的先行示范带、创新驱动带、协调发展带。云南地处长江上游，集通江、达海、沿边于一体，具有贯通南太平洋和印度洋，连接中国、东南亚、南亚三大市场的特殊区位优势，是我国面向西南开放的重要桥头堡，是长江经济带各省区走向东南亚、南亚的重要战略支点，是建设面向南亚、东南亚辐射中心的前沿，在国家区域发展和对外开放格局中具有独特而重要的作用。长江经济带建设凸显了云南的战略地位，也赋予云南义不容辞的重要使命。
Altogether, it is a blueprint for the current move away from a unipolar world and its destructive ways toward a multipolar and strife-free new world system, a positive yet revolutionary drive to move the whole of humanity forward.
6.调控水质。保持池塘溶氧5mg/L以上；pH值7～8.5；透明度在30～40cm；每15～20天加一次水；每10天改一次底，降解底层有机物过多产生的有毒有害物质；每亩20天用生石灰10kg泼洒生石灰水。保持池水深0.8～1.5m，水位相对稳定，避免忽高忽低影响生长。当水中溶氧低、水质老化或遇雷阵雨闷热天、连阴天等恶劣天气时应减少投饵量或停止投饵，并注意观察，若发现小龙虾反应迟钝，游集到岸边，浮头并向岸上爬时，说明缺氧严重，要及时注水或开增氧机增氧。
His views are inseparable from securing territorial sovereignty, stability and security, and adapting to global economic fluctuations. They represent a realistic, attractive win-win future of country relations based on mutual benefit and prosperity brought about by a harmonious environment.
It offers Chinese citizens comprehensible and lucid visions of their future, shared goals and an understanding of the direction their nation is taking internally and externally. To foreigners, it aims to explain China’s development concepts and path and answer the international community’s growing interest, curiosity and concerns. In addition, the book opens a wide and formidable window on today’s multifaceted China, its rich civilization and long history with its sometimes tragic twists and turns.
The idea of opening routes between the East and West was initially conceived and realized during the Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D. 220). Subsequent dynasties added new routes to the existing land network and created sea passages as well. In time, the ancient Silk Road connected Egyptian, Babylonian, Indian and Chinese civilizations, delivering untold benefi ts along the way.
Xi’s concepts of long-term peaceful development are at the core of China’s foreign and defense policies, as well as at the heart of China’s strong vision of its place in the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, but in other areas too.
Barely four years later, over 100 countries and international organizations attended the First Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in May 2017. By then, economic corridors had been constructed, agreements had been signed, land-sea-air connections had been built and trade had exploded in trillions of dollars from Russia to Turkey, Mongolia, Hungary and Laos. In keeping with ancient history, exchanges of all sorts developed among people just as they had centuries ago, to the mutual benefit of many.
As the initiative continues to expand at breakneck speed in Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, Xi has started building a road of peace, which is no surprise. “The ancient Silk Road thrived in times of peace and declined in times of war,” he said, a remark that surely was not lost on international warmongers.
Volume II is an erudite, dense and highly sophisticated work of historic dimension. Yet, it is not only a political book. Peppered with countless ancient Chinese quotes from past offi cials, scholars, writers, poets and philosophers, it takes the reader beyond its political scope into the very heart of 5,000 years of unbroken history as well as into the soul of a determined people.
It is sure to challenge entrenched beliefs and be an intellectual and enriching exercise prone to expand one’s worldview. The reader will be left with a lot and in the end, is bound to come away with the sense that China knows a lot more about the West than the West knows about China. One will realize that China didn’t suddenly transform itself because of its contacts with the West and that the last 40 years have produced astounding achievements. Finally, one will see that Xi’s responsibilities are indeed “as weighty as Mount Tai,” that is, very important.
