The university, which also has a campus in the Tianfu New Area, China's 11th national-level development area, in Renshou county in Sichuan, is strong in training students with applied technology in Sichuan. Emulating advanced teaching methods in the world, the university is aimed at becoming a California Institute of Technology in the east, according to university president Hao Jianping. Speaking at the ceremony on Saturday, Hao encouraged all the new graduates to work with the spirit of craftsmen during their lifetimes and contribute to China's technological development when it is implementing the 'Made in China 2025' plan To rejuvenate themanufacturing sectors, the world's major economies have resorted to different programs and strategies. The United States has proposed a manufacturing industry renaissance program and Germany has formulated an Industry 4.0 strategy, while China is implementing the 'Made in China 2025' plan to modernize its manufacturing through technological upgrades, knowledge-based industries and environmentally-friendly development.' wristbands with a messagecool wristbandsfestival wristband clasprubber wristbands custom cheapsilicone rubber bandsadjustable wristbandsrubber wristbandsfidget spinner bracelet
China's civil aviation authority said on Monday that it will lift its ban on the use of portable electronic devices on aircraft, and airlines will make the decision themselves. A newly revised administrative rule that will take effect in October said airline companies will be allowed to make their own assessments of the influence of portable electronic devices. Airline companies will decide what electronic devices can be used on their planes, and make their own rules. Since 1999, China's aviation authority has banned the use of any portable electronic devices on the plane. It was thought the wireless signals from those could affect flight safety. "But now, the government will give airlines the right to decide on their own," said Zhu Tao, deputy director of the Department of Flight Standard of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. "I believe we will see various Chinese airline companies allowing passengers to use portable electronic devices on planes in the near future." The reason for the change is that the anti-interference characteristics of aircraft have been enhanced, Li Yuan, an expert in civil aviation, was quoted as saying by the Beijing News. Many foreign airlines have long allowed passengers to use certain electronic devices during a flight's cruise phase, including phones and laptops. Some Chinese airlines also allow laptops during the cruise phase, though they prohibit cellphones. The CAAC also updated its physical requirements for selecting student pilots for civil aviation. The new rules took effect on Sept 10. Now, a student can qualify with a visual acuity higher than 4.0 on an E Snellen chart, compared with 4.5 in the past. "This change was designed to recruit more talent that meets both the physical and knowledge demands pilots. It will have a positive and far-reaching effect on the development of the civil aviation industry," Zhu said. Jiang Chenglong contributed to this story.
