英語(yǔ)角-圓桌會(huì)議 RoundTable - 產(chǎn)房真人秀，感人還是嚇人？
It was back in April, 1994, when folks at the Institute of High Energy Physics at China's Academy of Sciences built the country's first cable connection to the World Wide Web via facilities based at Stanford University's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in California.
Over the past two decades, the Internet has brought profound changes to Chinese people's lives and became a great leveler in terms of access to knowledge, education materials, along with goods and services.
Today, we've invited Cheng Jian, editor-in-chief of Zhongguancun Online or ZOL, China's largest IT portal, to talk with us about the vast changes internet has brought to China.
Topic2 Colleges Expand Outside Downtown BeijingA number of higher educational institutions in Beijing are planning to relocate to the outskirts of the city. The aim is to accommodate their own development needs and balance educational resources within the Chinese capital.
Is it happening on a large scale?
Topic3 Come On Babies Reality ShowChina's first live television airing of the birth of a child on last Friday, which included footage of a cesarean section and a baby covered in blood, has sparked intense criticism online.
The show, called Laiba Haizi, or Come On Babies, was produced by Shenzhen Television and recorded women in labor at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital at Fudan University in Shanghai.
Do you think such a show is acceptable?
Topic4 VIP waiting area in hospitalA public hospital in Anhui province has decided to remove a controversial VIP waiting area previously set up outside the operating theatre.
The newly installed VIP lounge, charging 15 yuan per person, is next to a common waiting block that's usually crowded.
Chinese internet users have lashed out at the hospital management saying that they are turning a public service into a money making machine.
What's the controversy?
