This document describes an experiment to investigate the relationship between the length of compression of a spring and the diameter of an indentation formed by a marble on a clay wall. The experiment tests compression lengths of 5cm, 10cm, and 15cm and measures the diameter of the indentations. The results show that longer spring compression lengths create larger indentations, supporting the hypothesis that increased spring force from longer compression produces bigger indentations. The document also proposes two games using the experimental apparatus.

Confucius emphasized the importance of ethics, especially in government and public sector enterprises. He believed that if leaders acted ethically and led by example, the people would follow. Some of his teachings that still apply today include the importance of integrity, honesty and proper conduct from leaders in establishing a positive ethical environment. Maintaining an ethical environment is even more important for public sector enterprises than laws or codes of ethics. However, many governments still struggle with politicization of enterprises and leaders who do not set a good example through their own actions. Establishing principles of ethical conduct and exemplary behavior from senior executives are keys to pursuing ethics in state enterprises.

China has implemented significant political and economic reforms over the past 20-30 years as it transitions from a centrally planned economy to a more market-based one.

The financial system also remains imbalanced with too high of a share of GDP coming from investment and real estate rather than household consumption. China is working to rebalance its economy by increasing consumption through reforms like raising deposit rates and limiting real estate speculation. Overall, China's transition to a more market-based and rebalanced economic model will likely mean lower but still
