He is currently working on a project that involves protein crystallography, a vital element in drug design, and is collaborating with prominent Chinese scientist Hong Guo on research into silicon electronicsThree or four years ago, when my family and I were on the subway or a bus in Shanghai, people around would talk to us

I once had a student come visit me and he was almost in tears after having to cross a road"Hopefully when I'm done with my work here, the connection between the two universities will be further strengthened, and through that I will leave a legacy," Reimers saidShe now speaks perfect Chinese and even has a Beijing accentWhat's the biggest challenge China faces today, and how do you think the country can overcome this? People focusing too much on themselves and the building of wealth, instead of interest for the community and the country

China needs to teach people in these countries how to go about managing certain issues, such as ensuring good government, how to prevent corruption, and how to focus on development in a sustainable way with clear end goalsChina's five-year plans provide a purpose and focus, and any developing country needs such plans to have a long-term futureTaxi drivers are always happy to talk about lots of different topicsDo you believe some of China's experiences or practices could be used to solve pressing global problems? Many countries are in the position China was 40 years ago, and the lessons learned here in China are certainly appropriate for them

To see that happening and to be a part of it in my own little way is very specialIn terms of challenges in the field of science, environmental damage and sustainability would be core issues

What three words would you use to describe China? Unified, together, visionChina needs to expand its reputation and abilities in these areas

"I'm very happy to work on the advancement of science in ChinaComing up with better, cleaner methods for creating chemical reactions when generating power is going to be importantHe showed interest in the recommendations and comments that were put together by the foreign experts and even described how the recommendations would be looked at by the appropriate committeesPresident Xi came across as someone who cares for his people, his country, and the worldThat just shows how accepted we have been here in ChinaBut what I have found disturbing is that this happens rarely today, as everyone is glued to their phones

The document was struck by China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the United States, the Republic of Korea (ROK), Russia and Japan during the fourth round of the six-party talksChinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang made the remarks at a routine press briefing, saying China is open to all efforts that are conducive to solving the issue peacefully via political and diplomatic meansIn return, the United States promised not to use nuclear weapons or conventional weapons to attack or invade the DPRKIn the statement, the DPRK reaffirmed its commitment to abandoning nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs

"We believe if the parties concerned can adhere to those consensus, abide by the spirit of the joint statement and seek ways to address the reasonable concerns of concerned parties, we will find a way out," said the spokespersonLu said the parties concerned should learn from experience in reaching the agreement, which includes holding that the core of the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue is over security issues, the key lies with the United States and the DPRK, and concerns of all parties should be resolved in a balanced way

BEIJING -- China said Tuesday that the six-party talks are still an efficient platform to address the Korean Peninsula nuclear issueLaunched in 2003, the six-party talks were suspended in December 2008

Lu said the joint statement, signed on Sept 19, 2005, is the most important progress in addressing the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue through negotiations, and is of milestone significanceChina also proposed a dual-track approach to denuclearization on the peninsula on the one hand and establishing a peace mechanism on the other

China has put forward the "double suspension" proposal, which requires the DPRK to suspend its missile and nuclear activities in exchange for the suspension of large-scale US-ROK military drillsThe DPRK walked out of the talks in April 2009 in protest against UN sanctionsAbe, who also heads the LDP, is set to provisionally dissolve the lower chamber of Japan's bicameral system of parliament on Sept 28, as this is when the extraordinary Diet session will be convened, according to LDP sources close to the matterHowever, the prime minister has the authority to dissolve the lower chamber and call a general election at will

This scenario would see official campaigning for the national poll kick off on Oct 10, with voters thereafter casting their ballots on Oct 22A lower house election must be held by December 2018 as this is when the four-year terms of current lower house lawmakers expire

If Abe goes ahead with his plan to call a snap election, then three by-elections that have been slated to take place on Oct 22 would be replaced by the general electionThe opposition camp, however, has criticized Abe's move to call a snap election, with some accusing him of merely trying to escape from the influence-peddling scandals he is currently implicated in and engineering his stay in power

"Nikai on Tuesday, during a meeting of ruling LDP executives reportedly conveyed Abe's intentions and relayed the party's determination to get all of its candidates fielded in the racePrior to Abe's departure Monday for a five-day trip to New York to attend the UN General Assembly, Abe told Nikai during a meeting that he "will decide on the timing of the snap election after returning from the UN General Assembly on Friday
