The comparison between China and the US that helps to better understand both countries' situations, is somehow simple and not helpful in practices. The policy suggestions in the later part of the article is long in examplification but short in analysis.

Aren't you fed up with the credit crunch and the repercussions from it?

There are still deep-rooted problems behind that need to be identified. There are no more excuses for poor performance of its environmental protection.

In particular, we should think about how to improve the supervising and implementing abilities, and how to create a better assessing mechanism of the governmental achievements.

Can we apply the techniques used in Xiamen to other cities?
