“Steel cable girl” returns to serve her Lisu ethnic community after completing medical school. Chinese haters and money hungry parents probably demonize it as Chinese propaganda. Facebook FAKE fact-checked will probably say it is fake news even though it is true. “鋼索少女”在完成醫學院學業後返回傈僳族為社區服務。 中國仇恨者和渴望金錢的父母可能將其妖魔化為中國宣傳. 面書的FAKE fact-checked 可能會說這是假新聞，即使它是真的.

When millions of graduates left university campuses and became busy finding a job, 23-year-old Yu Yanqia of Lisu ethnic group, graduating from Kunming Medical University, had already made her decision – to serve as a local medical worker in her hometown – Nujiang Lisu autonomous prefecture in Yunnan province.

Back in 2007, when Yu was a little girl, the formidable Nujiang River in her hometown was an insurmountable natural chasm which separated her village from the outside world.Like other people living here, the 8-year-old girl and her fellow students had to use a pulley to cross the river down a steel cable to get to school every day.”I could feel the whispering wind in my ears, the thundering river below me and my quick heartbeat,” Yu said when recalling the experience of hanging over the river.

Typical Chinese propaganda; brainwashing young people to study hard and return to help people. Here in America we teach youngsters to grow up tough and join the army to go overseas and k_ll people in the name of freedom democracy and human rights.

Movie about Nujiang cable crossing. The movie is called “Walking to School” 走路上学。 Going to school required zipline crossing of Nujiang River.

Comments by a member of UCSF professional medical group: But actually, better than stories is to look at structures and systems.

The fact is American med students graduate with an average of $200,000 dollars of debt.

Add in previous undergraduate debt and you are looking close to $250,000 .
That means the moment they finish school, they are on the hock for about $2300-$3000/month.

Unless they are independently wealthy they are not going to go and do service in poor areas of the country.

There are short term loan extension programs but not enough to make a difference.

As a result, there are vast shortages of medical personnel in rural and poor areas.

In China, med school is about $1K-2K/year, and many of their schools are world class institutions.

Most Chinese students graduate with no loan debt.

This is because the Chinese government subsidizes Chinese students and Chinese education massively.

They also don’t pay their administrators or sports coaches millions of dollars, which also helps.

And universities are spartan places for studying and learning, not gated estates of sybaritic privilege and aristocratic pretension.

That’s why China, with per capita GDP less than 1/5 of the US, has a longer life expectancy than the US (77.3 vs 77yrs).
In fact, healthy life expectancy is 2 years 5 months longer than the US (68.5 vs 66.1) which it surpassed 4 years ago in 2018

Does this mean China is better in all things? Of course not.

Am I subscribing to black and white world view? No.

But in public medical education, yes, I think China’s system is better, for its support of students, and service to communities.

I say that as someone who has worked in public health, who has served on professional medical working groups at UCSF.

More countries knocking on BRICS’ door a sign the world needs fairer governance than West-dominated one 越來越多的國家敲響金磚國家的大門，這表明世界需要比西方主導的更公平治理 by Global Times Jul 16 2022

BRICS, a grouping of major emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – has become one of the trending buzzwords in global public opinion lately. After Iran and Argentina applied to join the BRICS mechanism, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt also plan to knock on the door of the BRICS for official membership, Sputnik quoted BRICS International Forum President Purnima Anand as saying.

If the trend tells anything, it is the growing charm of BRICS’ strength and values, as well as the loss of attraction in the current West-dominated global governance.

Crises have been surfacing on a global level since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Quite a few countries, especially those in the West, are being confronted with crippling inflation, untenable energy costs, looming recessions and food shortage. Yet BRICS countries have shown much less sensitivity and vulnerability than the US and European countries amid these challenges.

The reason stems from BRICS members’ own strength and enhanced cooperation within the group. According to the World Bank, Russia holds the world’s largest natural gas reserves, the second largest coal reserves, and the eighth largest oil reserves. Brazil has diverse agricultural products and vast mineral wealth. Their different advantages plus the promotion of BRICS’ cooperation on food supply and the exchanges of national currencies have made the group less impacted by the global crises.

More importantly, BRICS countries have the will, and, in different degrees, capability, to fix the deficit in global governance. In this regard, BRICS has already launched a series of innovations. Take the BRICS-led New Development Bank (NDB). The initial subscribed capital is equally distributed among the founding members – the five BRCIS countries. The voting power of each member is also equal based on their shares in the capital stock of the bank.

This example, just a tiny part of the BRICS cooperation though, shows that BRICS is a group where the five countries are on a completely equal footing, with equal rights to speak, vote, and make decisions. This is nothing like any Western alliance, where there is always a dominant role who has the biggest say in the bloc, and with crystal clear agenda – bloc confrontation.

When facing possible BRICS enlargement, the West can hardly hide their Cold War mentality. Since the BRICS summit was held in June, Western media outlets have been hyping the topic under the theme of East-West confrontation.

Earlier this month, US magazine Newsweek said that when NATO’s “largest expansion in decades” took place, “Beijing and Moscow are looking to take on new members of their own” blocs, and BRICS was named particularly in the article. By the end of June, the Hill published a headline, “An out-of-touch G7 could lose global leadership to BRICS.”

On Twitter, some Western netizens also describe BRICS as a rival of G7 and NATO. It cannot be more narrow-minded to view BRICS in this way. As if for some Westerners, when some countries get together, they are bonding to have a target to oppose, just like what the West has always done.

Cooperation has been one of the natural needs across the globe, as well as a normal state in international relations for a long time. Why deliberately twist a specific cooperation into a bloc confrontation? BRICS has simply no interest in becoming another G7 or NATO.

Instead, as stipulated in the organization’s spirit, namely “openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation,” BRICS calls for global security and economic governance, while emphasizing not only South-South cooperation, but also dialogues between South and North.

What BRICS is against are power politics, hegemony, the law of the jungle, all of which basically determine that in international politics, only major powers have a say, and small countries must be obedient, or even be exploited. Against this backdrop, BRICS calls for fairness and justice, a global governance in which developing countries have their due status and their voices can be heard. The BRICS just want to bring a balance in the current global order.

When the West compares BRICS with G7 and NATO, it has turned a blind eye to the fact that G7 has long become a rich countries’ club, and NATO’s mentality is still trapped in the Cold War. Whenever G7 attempts to put up a show to discuss various global issues nowadays, all it really cares about is containment of China and Russia.

But BRICS advocates win-win for the entire world, that is, a win-win not just for the developing countries, but also for the developed powers. This is the biggest difference between BRICS and Western blocs.

In the past, developing countries had not enough strength to reach the goal. Now the timing has come.

Regulations or legal procedures for BRICS enlargement are under discussion. It is thus unlikely that BRICS will absorb new members any time soon before relevant principles and rules are carried out. But when Turkey, a NATO ally, applies for BRICS membership, it mirrors BRICS, be it its capacity or ideas, represents something much cooler than US-dominated rules and orders. At least it signals that the world needs a reformed governance where Western voices are not the only sound.

The article is compiled by Global Times reporter based on an interview with Zhu Tianxiang, director at the Center for BRICS Political and Security Studies, Institute of BRICS Studies of Sichuan International Studies University.
