Legislators veto China’s plans for political change   POLITICAL bodies in China rarely defy the will of the Communist Party.

V roce 2013 s tím začal Moravskoslezský kraj, letos se přidala Ostrava i univerzity - uzavřely partnerství s čínskými protějšky. A rozhodně ne formální. Do regionu už míří nemocné děti, studenti i první investice z Číny. Lázně v Karlově Studánce s nejčistším ovzduším ve střední Evropě se v červnu stanou přechodným domovem pro 80 čínských dětí s nemocemi dýchacích cest.
