When your pens broken, the battery (电池) in your toy runs out, or you have some leftover food, what do you do with these things? You will probably throw them all into one bin (垃圾箱). But actually, all of these pieces of rubbish need to be sorted (分类) separately (单独地).
Rubbish sorting is a big thing all over the world. In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it.
Shanghai is asking all of its residents (居民) to sort their rubbish into four groups: wet, recyclable (可回收的), harmful (有害的) and dry.
Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want but pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily joked. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste. Harmful waste incudes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯泡). Finally, any waste that is not wet, recyclable or harmful will go to the “dry waste” bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this way to sort their rubbish. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also have to learn waste sorting at school.
China is working hard on waste sorting. There is still a long way to go. But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your rubbish rightly and protect the environment.

In the past, Chinese buyers liked foreign brands better, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality than Chinese ones. But now that is no longer the case.
“Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign bands are better than Chinese ones”, William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9. But for those who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.
“When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big.” Li said. “But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference.”
The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies controlled before. A study by Credit Suisse which came out in March found that more and more young Chinese buyers are showing a home brand bias.
More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home brands, according to the study. At the same time, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products raised their share (份额) of the market by 33% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.
“Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don’t just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China’ is not bad at all”, Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.
The Chinese smart phone market is controlled by home companies Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to go down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.

Living in the information time, we are faced with tons of news about our county and society every day. But what is true and what is false? There is a group of people whose job is to offer an official (官方的) voice and form a bridge between governments, the public and the media (媒体). These people are news spokespersons.
Spokespersons usual host news conference (会议), where they explain policies (政策) and answer questions from the media. According to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang, a news spokesperson is “a window into our county for the media, especially for the foreign media.”
To achieve this, news spokespersons are often experts in some fields. This way, they can clearly express these fields to the public.
For example, Wang Hui, the spokesperson for the Beijing government during the 2008 Olympics, was once a senior editor (编辑) at the Beijing TV station. She has lots of knowledge about how the media works. Mao Qun’an, who used to be a spokesperson for the Ministry of Heath, has a master’s degree in medicine. He helped a lot during the SARS illness of 2003.
Spokespersons also need to be able to think quickly. They often have to answer different kinds of questions from the media.
Spokespersons sometimes speak in their own style instead of always using official expressions. Here are a few examples.
It is easier to move a mountain than to shake the PLA. (Wu Qian)
What a waste of money it was for Japan to do so! (Yang Yujun)
