The result was a startup association that Camponeschi founded for ""matching the Sino-Italian startup ecosystem,"" for example by supporting Chinese investors in micro-funding Italian early-stage startups, bridging qualified investors and top-tier startups, and facilitating the exchange of innovative talents between China and Europe.

""China is the right country for those who have an entrepreneurial spirit. Its economy has entered what experts refer to as the new normal, and I am confident of its great opportunities,"" he said.

Serra, who is finishing her course of study at the University of Milan, said after cultivating a passion for Chinese culture Custom St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys , she is now thinking about becoming a translator of Chinese literature rather than a business interpreter.

Elisabetta Minonne, once a Chinese language student in Venice and today a Chinese language teacher in Milan, believes that culture can be an extraordinary instrument for China to pursue a higher stage of development.

""China has already achieved economic and political leadership on the world stage, and could do the same with culture to build its soft power like the United States did in the 1950s,"" she said.

Minonne teaches Chinese language and culture at the Alessandro Manzoni high school in Milan. ""The most beautiful thing for me is to transfer my knowledge of this extraordinary country to young generations. China has changed my life forever Authentic St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys ,"" she pointed out.

""Since I went to Beijing for the first time when I was a student in the year 2000, my way of being has been influenced somehow by the Chinese mentality and philosophy. Just to mention an example, I tend to favor a collective well-being, and in conflict situations to pursue win-win dialogue,"" she said.

BEIJING St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys For Sale , May 14 (Xinhua) - A massive protest in the east China city of Hangzhou over the weekend has forced the government to suspend a planned waste incinerator.

However, it was not a victory of public democracy as 10 protestors and 29 policemen were injured and police cars overturned.

Plans for a petrochemical plant were also aborted by the government of Maoming, Guangdong Province, in late March after thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to protest over possible health hazards.

If this weird cycle of protest and project suspension continues, it will be a shame for the government and a pity for city dwellers.

An incinerator is the most efficient and economical way to deal with the increasing waste in Hangzhou as landfills become saturated Cheap St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys , and it is a normal practice to build incinerators in cities across the world.

If the incinerator project is delayed infinitely, it will not be a blessing for the residents. If protests and project suspension become the norm, the government will lose its credibility in carrying out its duties.

The government should think about why a benefit for the public has been turned into a violent incident.

Lack of public participation in the government's decision-making process is the root of public distrust over industrial projects with environmental concerns.

Publicizing information on projects and introducing public participation into evaluation processes as early as possible are key to success.

Disclosing information through media and inviting the public to discussions and public hearings will likely clear up misunderstandings and reduce the public's mistrust.

The government's sole assurance of safety should also be matched with the public's own judgment.

It might take years for the public to fully accept the projects, but it is worthwhile. Any hasty action will do the opposite.

It is reported that Hangzhou residents voiced their opposition by sending a joint letter with more than 20,000 signatures in late April to the municipal planning administration.
