The slidecast summarizes key aspects of the Asian economy. It introduces Asia's large population and important religions. It then discusses the "Asian Dragons" of fast-growing economies like Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Three articles are summarized that discuss Chinese home buyers investing in Hong Kong due to a housing bubble, a Taiwanese coffee chain expanding in China to challenge Starbucks, and a joint South Korean-German battery factory being opened to supply electric vehicles. The conclusion connects these articles and discusses Asia's strong economies and culture, though also mentions disadvantages like human rights issues.
This document summarizes the key findings about climate change from scientific research. It finds that climate change poses a serious threat to humanity if left unaddressed. Global temperatures are projected to rise 4°C by 2100 under business-as-usual emissions, causing devastating impacts including more extreme weather, sea level rise, and parts of the world becoming uninhabitable by 2300. While climate change mitigation efforts are underway, more urgent action is needed to transition away from fossil fuels and reduce emissions 70% by 2050 to limit warming to 2°C. Failure to act risks potentially catastrophic consequences, but with cooperation and innovation in technology, the climate challenge can be addressed.
The document discusses ways for individuals to help reduce global warming through lifestyle changes such as reducing waste, using less energy for heating/cooling, driving less, using energy efficient products, recycling, planting trees, and encouraging others to conserve resources. Adopting responsible habits from an individual level can help address global warming if people become more conscious of the environmental impacts of their daily actions and work to find solutions.

Global and china li ion power battery industry report , 2017-2020ResearchInChina
There are three major technology roadmaps for power battery around the world:
(1) Ternary materials-based: NCA and NCM as main cathode materials. Featuring high energy density, NCM batteries have become a mainstream battery technology for electric vehicles along with a sharp cutin procurement costs of the batteries in recent years. Chinese battery enterprises, represented by Tianjin Lishen and Boston Power, have started the production of NCM batteries since 2014. NCA is chiefly used in 18650-type battery (the highest energy density so far), which supports mainly Tesla and Toyota RAV4. However, due to strong chemical activity of aluminum mixed in NCA, advanced BMS is needed to monitor the operating condition of the battery, thus resulting in a low penetration in carmakers.
(2) LFP-based. Canada and the United States were the first countries to develop power battery technology. In China, LFP, the mainstream technology for power lithium battery, is widely used in passenger cars and buses, with the typical enterprises including BYD and Guoxuan High-tech. However, due to the factors like low specific energy and poor low-temperature starting performance, LFP batteries still have not been widely used worldwide.
(3) Manganese series: with LMO as main cathode material. LMO is generally modified and is mixed with a small amount of NCM or LNO to raise battery energy density. Key representative manufacturers are LGC, AESC, LEJ, etc. And in China, they are CITIC Guoan MGL, Do-Fluoride Chemicals, etc.

Subject: A story of River Sunvelop where a hundred college students and faculty members from ten more majors got together and dedicated three years towards designing and building an eco, smart, energy-positive house. Who are they? How did they work together? What did they achieve and where do they go from here?
Background: Dr. Hu graduated from School of Public policy and Management, Tsinghua University, and now works for Energy Research Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Since 2011, he has led a cross-disciplinary team of a hundred students and faculty members to design and build an eco, smart, energy-positive solar building called River Sunvelop, with help of approximately 30 business partners. The River Sunvelop team is working on popularizing eco and smart buildings, systems and lifestyles.
The document discusses several key reasons for why Chinese products are so cheap:
1. Labor costs are much lower in China due to large pools of cheap, unskilled labor. Chinese workers may earn only $5 per day compared to US minimum wages of $7-8 per hour.
2. Materials and production costs are also lower since China produces many goods domestically using mass production methods.
3. Some economists argue that China artificially deflates the value of its currency, the yuan, making Chinese exports appear cheaper than they otherwise would be.

Developing markets are experiencing rapid industrializa-
tion, growing industrial and consumer markets, and new
opportunities for foreign investment. Consider the follow-
ing illustration: In China, it is just a few shopping days be-
fore the Lunar New Year, and the aisles at the local Walmart
Supercenter are jammed with bargain hunters pushing carts
loaded high with food, kitchen appliances, and clothing. It
could be the preholiday shopping rush in any Walmart in
Middle America, but the shoppers here are China’s nouveau
riche. Superstores have proven popular with Chinese con-
sumers, who devote a large part of their spending to food
and daily necessities. Walmart has been able to tap into
the Chinese sense of social status by offering membership
cards that confer not only eligibility for special discounts but
social status as well.
Alongside Campbell’s soup and Bounty paper towels are
racks of dried fish and preserved plums. One shelf is stacked
high with multiple brands of congee , a popular southern
Chinese breakfast dish, and another has nam yue peanuts
and packets of bamboo shoots. In the liquor section in the
back of the store is three-snake rice wine, complete with the
dead serpents’ bodies coiled together in the potent liquid.
About 95 percent of what Walmart sells in China is sourced
locally. Gone are the efforts to sell big extension ladders
or a year’s supply of soy sauce to customers living in tiny
apartments.
At present Walmart operates over 10,000 units in
27 countries, including almost 370 in China. Revenues and
profits are growing nicely for its international operations,
and overseas expansion is set to continue particularly in
China since its entry into th ...
This document summarizes China's rapid development of hydropower. It discusses China's policies that promoted hydropower, including the Great Leap Forward policy of building dams and the West-East Electricity Transfer Project. China now has half the world's large dams and hydropower accounts for 16% of its energy portfolio. However, dams can negatively impact the environment and displace communities. The document also notes China's efforts to increase regulation and public participation in hydropower development.
China faces significant energy challenges due to its heavy reliance on coal and growing dependence on oil imports. China consumes more coal than any other country and coal use is rising significantly. By 2020, China is projected to import 80% of the oil it uses. Rapid economic and industrial growth are driving increases in China's energy use and carbon emissions. However, China is pursuing many policies and solutions to improve energy efficiency and increase renewable energy, which could help address its energy challenges and reduce environmental and health impacts if successfully implemented.
