With the Chinese economic have rapidly developed in these years, Chinese consumers have tend to prefer their local goods more than foreign ones. However, Chinese sometimes are confused that the overser goods are made in China in fact. This result is according McKinsey’s survey in 2007.

Blog Entry Four- Changes in manners

Education has been paid great attention in China since time from time immemorial. In the past fifty years, its environment has a vast change. I am going to mention two aspects of it, the statuse of teachers and the opportuniities of tertiary education.

Firstly, the status positions of teachers has risen quickly. In the Culture Revolution during 60-70’s, teachers were forced to become the lowest job and anyone was afraid to do. As a result young generation at that time had the lowest educational level! But now, teachers are respected again. They have been paid well salary and offered good living apartments by government in the main city.

Secondly, the opportunities of learning in university are more now than in 50’s. Seventy percent of every year’s graduates in colleges can go on tertiary education. Whereas in 50's, only 5 percent people graduated from tertiary course. The main reason is that economy develop at full speed, government have set up so many universities and institutes in towns and cites throughout China in recent years.

In conclusion, education is more and more better than before in the last half a century. Consequently, Chinese educational quality is raised quikly.
