Like just about every ambitious engineering student at China'sTsinghua University in the early 1980s, Li Zheng had his heart set on the high-tech, high-profile electronics field--up until the day he bombed on an electronics exam. But his uncharacteristic classroom stumble led Li to a field that could play an even larger role in China's future: energy production. "I think the choice was a very fortunate one in the end," says Li, who studied thermal engineering and in 2000 became a full professor at Tsinghua--China's M.I.T.--at the remarkably young...
...carbon, and China's booming economy puts it on a path to become the world's No. 1 greenhouse-gas emitter as early as 2020. Li knows that China needs clean energy as badly as the developed world needs China to clean up, which is why he joined the Tsinghua-BP Clean Energy Research and Education Center as director when it opened in July 2003. The center's most promising project is a new technology called polygeneration, by which coal is converted into a cleaner gaseous fuel that can both generate electricity and be processed into a petroleum substitute. Polygeneration...
...exciting and interesting regions to our faculty.” The program will also interchange faculty from the sponsoring institutions. The program marks the first partnership between HBS and CEIBS, and the second partnership between HBS and a Chinese institution. For the past five years, HBS has worked with Tsinghua University in Beijing to offer executive education programs. According to Program Co-director Jaume S. Ribera, faculty from the various institutions may have much to learn from each other. “Providing our professors with the opportunity to work with HBS and CEIBS colleagues in a very demanding environment...
...networks. So, like a true Silicon Valley entrepreneur, he retreated to his garage in his spare time and started working on a new approach. He envisioned a remote piece of hardware that screened Internet content and didn't interfere with application software. In 1997 Xie, an engineering graduate from Tsinghua University in Beijing, launched the network-security company NetScreen, which was eventually acquired by Jupiter Networks. That success allowed him to raise venture capital in 2000 to found Fortinet Inc., of which...
...Xuetong Director, Institute of International Studies, Tsinghua University, Beijing First, President Hu should tell President Bush that both sides need to manage the relationship better, and that America's containment policy won't work. Second, China hopes the U.S. will stop arms sale to Taiwan because it is encouraging Taiwan secessionists. Third, Chinese have the same right as Americans to enjoy a rich lifestyle and do not appreciate the double standard on China's oil policy. The issue should not become politicized, as when CNOOC made its bid to buy Unocal...
