The number of suspects

The number of suspects, placed in custody1 for more than three years without being charged, reduced from 4,459 in 2013 to six by 2015. Chinese authorities managed to return to the country 124 corruption2 suspects previously3 on the run in a 17-month international manhunt that started in October 2014. The 124 suspects were repatriated4 or were persuaded to turn themselves in from 34 countries and...

Chinese schools put too much stress on knowledge and technique but neglect the basic values of how to be a human being. Teaching materials that are currently used in moral education courses are outdated1. We have forgotten many old traditional values. Students are addicted2 to videogames featuring fighting or beasts. Why don't video games companies invent some games that both suit the interest of...

Hi everybody. The story of America is a story of progress. It’s written by ordinary people who put their shoulders to the wheel of history to make sure that the promise of our founding applies not just to some of us - but to all of us.

Hi, everybody. Right now, there are American troops serving in harm's way and standing sentry around the world. There are veterans who've served honorably in times of war and peace, and often came home bearing the invisible and visible wounds of war.

summer

Last summer, I got a letter from a woman named Elizabeth Paredes from Tucson, Arizona. Elizabeth is the mom of a 3-year-old boy, and an assistant manager at a sandwich shop. She earns about 2,000 a month, and she routinely works some 50 hours a week, sometimes even more. But because of outdated1 overtime2 regulations, she doesn't have to be paid a dime3 of overtime. She wrote: It's not easy work...
