Chinese education

Another wrote: “Children should be allowed to make mistakes. Part of growing up.”

Tiger mother

Actually, it’s not the first time that sparked controversy.

Do you still remember a Chinese “Tiger Mom” Cai Meier who was very popular before?

She published an autobiographical best-selling book, “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” because of the “torture” of her daughter.

In the “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother“, Cai Meier claimed to use “high-pressure means such as cursing, threatening, bribery, and lure, and requires children to work along the path chosen by their parents.”

At that time, many American readers wrote to Cai Meier, accusing her of “child abuse,” saying that her two daughters would be “psychologically distorted and cold-hearted” when they grew up.

However, the facts are…

They are grateful for their mother’s educating method.

Reflection

The above cases actually reflect some major problems in Chinese education culture.

School days are longer and holidays are shorter. After that official school time, they have to attend tutoring classes. Their entire day is spent on learning in the classroom and finishing their homework for the next day.

Students are always taught to study for the sake of their country, their family, and most importantly to make their parents proud.

In fact, there is a big difference between Chinese culture and Western culture and has no superior among them. It can only be said that it is responsible for the child to fully understand the child’s interests and educate them accordingly.

No Survivors in Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Crash!

All 157 people aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight that crashed soon after taking off Sunday morning from Addis Ababa have been killed, the airline said Sunday.

No Survivors in Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Crash!

32 Kenyans, 18 Canadians, 9 Ethiopians, 8 Americans, 8 Italians, and 8 Chinese nationals (including a girl who was here for her graduation trip) were among the passengers. Seven French and seven UK nationals were also on board, the spokesman said.

Another plane of the same model was involved in a crash less than five months ago when a Lion Air flight crashed into the sea near Indonesia with nearly 190 people on board.

Do we know how it happened?

The cause of the disaster is not yet clear. However, the pilot had reported difficulties and had asked to return to Addis Ababa, the airline said.

“At this stage, we cannot rule out anything,” Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam told reporters at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa.

“We cannot also attribute the cause to anything because we will have to comply with the international regulation to wait for the investigation.”

Visibility was said to be good but air traffic monitor Flightradar24 reported that the plane’s “vertical speed was unstable after take-off“.

Who are the victims?

A UN source also told Agence France-Presse that “at least a dozen of the victims were affiliated with the UN“, and that this may include freelance translators.

World Food Programme executive director David Beasley said seven members of agency staff had died in the crash.

Who is the survivor?

A passenger named Antonis Mavropoulos, who was saved by running two minutes late.

After the crash, he put a post on his social media.

“I was mad because nobody helped me to reach the gate on time,” Antonis Mavropoulos said in a Facebook post entitled “My lucky day” in which he includes a photo of his ticket.

What reaction has there been?

Ethiopia has declared Monday a national day of mourning.

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said he was “deeply saddened” to hear of the crash, adding: “We join the international community in mourning the loss of so many lives.”

UK PM Theresa May tweeted her condolences:

African Union Commission chairman Moussa Faki Mahamat expressed “utter shock and immense sadness” while Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said he was “saddened”.

In order to prevent the incidents happened again, China’s civil aviation authority asked domestic airlines to temporarily suspend the operation of Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft after a model operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed on Sunday.

According to the report by caijing.com, Boeing 737-800 models will replace many of the domestic Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets.

Don’t Misunderstand CRS!

Until the end of August 2018, there are already 149 countries and regions promise that they would achieve the first automatic exchange of tax-related information in a financial account by September 2018.

What is CRS?

CRS, Common Reporting Standard, is an automatic exchange standard of tax-related information in financial account around the globe.

Don't Misunderstand CRS!

The signing and implement of CRS mean that the financial asset information of individuals will be automatically exchanged among the tax authorities of participating countries (regions), and finally provide information support for the supervision of cross-border tax sources of countries (regions).

The major misunderstanding

Nationality=Tax Resident?

Simply, under CRS, the rateability of an account holder isn’t defined by the nationality you have, but it is defined by where you are a tax resident and decide what kind of rateability should you shoulder.

For example, Miss Wang(English Nationality), work and live in the UK, under the condition of regarding her as a UK’s tax resident, the information in her local financial accounts will not be published to the Chinese tax authority.

However, of Miss Wang also has a financial account in China, the relevant information will be delivered to the English government from Chinese tax authority.

Foreigners, overseas nationals and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan who reside in China and stay here within a certain tax year for a specific number of days will also be regarded as Chinese tax residents.

All CRS participating countries

will conduct CRS information exchange?

Not all CRS participating countries can exchange account information with each other, based on a certain regulation and relevant laws, an additional “activation” procedure is also required.

Countries need to list partner countries in the “willingness to exchange lists of countries” and match each other to activate, in order to exchange account information under CRS.

For example, A takes B as a partner country, but B doesn’t A as a partner country, so they can’t exchange account information although both of them are CRS participating country.

And if B takes A as a partner country, both of them can exchange it.

On reply: personal tax is the key point

Accurately judge your tax resident identity. Holding a passport and permanent residency is not the same as being or merely being a tax resident of this country.
Comb the relevant overseas financial account in detailed. If you want to seek professional advice, please contact the professional counselor in HACOS.
Comprehensively assess tax risks in relevant overseas assets. High net-worth clients should inspect and improve their own tax administration whether to meet the regulation as soon as possible.
