Games celebrations

Comment on "China invites world to Olympics" (China Daily website, August
9)

Congratulations to China! "Best preparations ever. Everything is on
target even one year ahead of schedule", said Jacque Rogge, the president
of the IOC.

The air pollution problem is not new: it affected Los Angeles, Seoul and
Atlanta before. Besides, China has taken concrete steps, like closing
down factories or reducing car traffic.

So let the world come and celebrate with us and foster friendship and
understanding.

Press can help

Comment on You Nuo's column "Exporters, it's time to clean up your act"
(China Daily, August 6)

You Nuo makes an excellent point in his column: "What governments can
realistically do to protect the interests of both small Chinese companies
and importing countries' consumers, is to work out a better system to
reinforce trade standards and ensure quality."

The press can help as well. Investigative reporters can write news
stories and articles about standards and quality.

Some people look down on reporters as snoops and scandal mongers, but in
fact the reports are an asset. You Nuo's column itself is a good example
of how the press is working to achieve this goal.

Same papers

Comment on "US candidates discuss China 'to get votes'" (China Daily,
August 9)

US politicians say the same things because they read the same papers. And
the papers are controlled by the same wallets, so they write the same
things.

But the candidate with the best acting talents will win the presidential
election.

Irrational award

Comment on "Is a 680,000-yuan scholarship too much for a top student?"
(China Daily website, August 7)

I think to give a student who comes in the top place in college entrance
exam a proper amount of money as a reward for her academic efforts and to
encourage other students is reasonable, but such a big number is not very
rational.

The same money could be used to fund several students in remote areas to
finish their education, in that way, the money might become more
meaningful.

An acknowledgement of first place in the entrance exam can come in many
other forms, and money is just one of them.

Good students

Comment on "Should Beida recruit more recommended students?" (China Daily
website, August 9)

If those recommended students are outstanding enough, they can also pass
the exams. Therefore there is no need for them to be recommended.
