Is Google just the start?

According to web site, when the result of the firms were up by Beijing to give online mapping services in China last week. It was not a big surprise that the name 'Google' was missing. Google has a calculate approximately two millions user of its mobile mapping services in China. But the bureau state of examining and mapping services is reviewing the sector. Only those companies of "excellent quality", was said by the bureau will be accepted. Google has failed to show it clearly to beijing's satisfication.

For me, google is one of the site I used the most for long time and I did not see anything wrong or not good about it, so it's pretty much up to person whether that person likes it or not.

Escaped South Korean prisoner of war 'sent back to North after fleeing to China'

According to the Seoul newspaper report, a prisoner of South Korean who had been in North Korea for about 60 years escaped China but has been sent back to the North since last year. A small government source " Dong-a llbo " said to Sotuh Korea that officials kept asking Beijing to return the 81 years old soldier to them but he was sent to North Korea instead. About 500 soldiers of Seoul could still be in the North in 1950-1953 Korean war, and believes that a lot more died in the war. But Pyongyang refuses to hold any South Koreans against their will and said some stayed international. The issue was pointed when Cho Chang-ho, a South Korean artillery officer taken captive in the year 1950 and escaped from the North in the middle of 1990. He later told USA that he had spent many years as a prisoner in camp. The Dong-a llbo said the last person who could escape to China got a help of Seoul-based activists last August, but was caught days after when the broker who helped him complained him to Chinese police following a row over money.

In my opinion, the relationship between two countries can hardly be coporated because of the issues that had happened between the two.

China’s Environmental Crisis

According from China's news, After the explotion, it left China scars across the landscape. Here are some details but to see it more specifically, click on the site that is given. It shows where polution affected the most and China's environment compare with the rest of the world. It starts with Air polution, the air in many towns in China is over the most polluted in the world. Secondly, China's land becoming desert. At current rates, the desert in nothern China will place its own ground about the size of New Jersey every five years. Thirdly, Water Scarcity, for more than 600 people live in provinces are lack of water. Lastly, Acid Rain, mostly were caused by emissions or rain damages.

In my mind, this could be crisis moment for China to be ware because if they do not do anything to fix or make it better it will get worse. Eventually, China will not be a country anymore.

China Train Travel

According to the details, China has many ways to travel around or go somewhere specifically because of its size. Although the cheapest way to travel is by train and also used by local population. Traveller can go to Moscow (Russia), Ulan Bator (Mongolia), Ha noi (Vietnam) and Pyongyang (North Korea) by using international business trains from China.
Importantly, to travel by train, you need to know the exact place to go because there will not stop at other place except the destination of your ticket, For instance, buses can stop anytime by the road unlike trains that can not.

In my opinion, traveling by is one of the easiest way to go from town to town, especially from country to country by international trains. It is also much cheaper than taking planes.

China Transportation

According to the information that given, China country in the past was on a really low condition of transportion. Mostly of people travelled by foot. It took a long period of time to take the imperial informaiton to become a government official to go from home to the capital city by foot. Some people rode horses when going from town to town. For short distance trips, man-carriages, wheeled vehicles and the carts that were drawn by oxes were used also. It's Cleary mean that the transportation in ancient China was on poor condition. Now they are much more further than the past. they have cars, buses, trains, ships and bikes.

In my opinion, it is becoming normal to have those kind of transportations in the past but if that country did not upgrade they transportation system, that country would be an ancient for the world now.
