The Outlook for China’s Policy Environment
Inclusiveness, transparency and fact-based analysis are becoming increasingly integral in the policy-making process as a result of new perspectives brought forward by the country’s leadership. The 11th Five-Year Plan, the Property Law and the Corporate Income Tax Law have been cited as examples of how policy-making in China has been constantly evolving to accommodate changing realities both at home and abroad.
1) How has China’s entry into the WTO and the Olympics impacted the country’s policy-making processes?
2) What role can business play in improving China’s future policy environment?
3) How will the emergence of a new generation of leaders at China’s upcoming 17th Party Congress shape the future policy environment?
4) What are the implications for international companies doing business in China?

This is a message from Green T to President Barack Obama. We hope that he will watch it. We wanted to point out the apparent shortage of information being put out by President Obama’s Staff regarding Environmental Policies. It seems that there’s not very much news or coverage of any type about it. We acknowledge that there are plenty of problems the the President and the U.S. is facing. However, Mother Earth isn’t waiting for an economy to recover or a war to be over and she can’t heal herself. We would like President Obama to watch this and respond, as we would like to help him spread the word about his plans! Shot in HD with a Panasonic HPX170.

For us HOPE means, Healing Our Planet Earth.
- Green T
