Science Awareness in China

Did you ever look up at the sky and wonder what happens to the stars when the sun comes out? And what about the universe- how can it go on for infinity? Where did the dinosaurs come from...and where did they go?  Our innate sense of curiosity and constant questioning is of course the stuff of science. Are students in China asking these same questions? How are future scientists in the country ignited with passion? What investments are being made to put China on the map when it comes to scientific discovery?

With their possessions in a canvas sac and children often left to be raised by their aging parents, more than 150 million Chinese workers trek long distances across the country in search of a job. Americans rely on these workers to make their cellphones, t-shirts and computers. The Chinese elite rely on them to build the high-rises they work in, serve their dinners or clean their floors. How do these migrant workers contribute to China's economy? What can be done to improve their lives?

China is the number one consumer of coal in the world, the biggest greenhouse gas emitter and also the world's largest maker of wind turbines and solar panels. As the country's energy consumption increases, where should China focus its efforts when it comes to developing- and using- cleaner sources of energy?

The Chinese investment boom in Africa has attracted praise and criticism. With China's thirst for natural resources and Africa's need for infrastructure and aid, a growing symbiotic relationship is forming. China's insists on a hands-off approach when it comes to other countries' domestic issues, intending to remain neutral, but in a region rife with conflict, can this be the case?
