BEIJING Black Ronnie Stanley Jersey , March 11 (Xinhua) -- China must identify what aspects of its culture best appeal to foreigners if it is to build soft power abroad, a Chinese political advisor said on Friday.


"The global community will only listen to a story of China that meets its needs," said Lee Ka Kit, vice chairman of Hong Kong property developer Henderson Land Development, at the annual session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee.


He singled out green credentials, economic success and traditional values as national strengths.


For example, China should promote the fact that its annual per capita oil consumption is about two barrels Black Nico Siragusa Jersey , while it is 22 barrels in the United States, according to Lee.


The economic prosperity and social stability achieved since the reform and opening up process began in the late 1970s are also likely to impress people abroad.


And old-fashioned Chinese principles like "duties over rights, groups over individuals, and harmony over conflict" are more spiritually relevant today than Western values, Lee said.

The heat of summer is upon us, and with it comes a return to our favorite swimming holes. Whether that is the pool, lake Black Tim Williams Jersey , or ocean, special caution must be used whenever there are children or other inexperienced swimmers around the water. It takes very little time, and just a small amount of standing water, for a child to suffer serious personal injury or death by drowning. Here are a few important safety tips to enhance a child?s safety when swimming:

- In just 10 seconds, the amount of time it might take to cross the pool deck for a towel, a child can be submerged.

- In just 2 minutes, the amount of time it takes to answer the phone Black Chris Wormley Jersey , a child can lose consciousness.

- In 4 to 6 minutes, the time it takes to answer the door, a child can sustain permanent brain damage.

Children can drown quietly and quickly. When a child drowns, it is most often because the adults are distracted talking on the phone, to other adults, or engaged in some other task. The most important thing to remember this swim season is never to leave a child alone near any standing water, whether a pool Black Tyus Bowser Jersey , hot tub, bathtub, or even toilet. A child can drown in less than one inch of standing water.

The YMCA has provided an outline of some important precautionary steps to follow to help ensure child safety around the water this summer. First, create buffer zones of protection between the water and your children?a proper fence and gate around the pool, sturdy pool coverings, and even child proof locks and alarms on the doors and windows that lead to the pool. Make sure to have rescue equipment mounted near the water.

Second, proper supervision is essential. Always be within arm?s reach of a child who is not an experienced swimmer.?Third Black Marlon Humphrey Jersey , When there are several adults present and children are swimming, make sure that an adult is always ?on-duty? with the responsibility to watch the children. This will help to ensure proper supervision at all times.

Finally, make sure that your children learn to swim. Knowing the simple safety trick of floating on your back if you get tired can be enough to save a life while awaiting rescue.

In addition to the above, it is equally important to know that children also can suffer personal injury in and around the pool or swimming area due to the negligence of another person or defective products. For example, if there is a pool cove
