中国竞争力继续上升 |
China leads among large developing countries as the 27th most competitive country in the world overall, according to the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report 2010-2011 released Thursday. It was ranked 29th last year. Switzerland again topped the overall rankings, while the U.S. fell to fourth place after ceding the top spot last year. Sweden placed second and Singapore was third. Germany, Japan, Finland, the Netherlands, Denmark and Canada round out the top 10.
The competitiveness rankings are based on the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI), developed for the World Economic Forum by Sala-i-Martin in 2004. The GCI is based on 12 pillars of competitiveness, providing a comprehensive picture of the competitiveness landscape in countries around the world at all stages of development. The pillars are: institutions, infrastructure, macroeconomic environment, health and primary education, higher education and training, goods market efficiency, labor market efficiency, financial market development, technological readiness, market size, business sophistication, and innovation. |

《全球竞争力报告》的竞争力排行榜以全球竞争力指数为基础，由萨拉•伊•马丁教授为世界经济论坛编制并于2004年引入，而全球竞争力指数又以12个主要竞争力因素为基础，全面地反映了处于不同发展阶段的世界各国的竞争力状况。这些因素包括机构、基础设施、宏观经济环境、健康与初等教育、高等教育和培训、商品市场效率、劳动力市场效率、金融市场发展、技术就绪度、市场规模、商业成熟度和创新。 |

| 3 in Shandong die from tick bites |
山东省三人被蜱虫叮咬致死 |
Three people in Penglai, Shandong Province, died in July after being bitten by deer ticks, the Chongqing Evening News reported. The incidences coincide with an epidemic in adjacent Henan Province, where 18 people so far have died after being bitten by the bugs. The victims all exhibited signs of organ failure before death. Henan health authorities, who earlier said the deaths were caused by a virus, have also said the victims died of anaplasmosis, a disease caused by a bacteria that is usually transmitted to humans through ticks.
People with anaplasmosis usually live in Henan, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. This year, Henan, Shandong and Hubei have reported cases. The deer tick is an eight-legged insect no bigger than a sesame seed that is best removed from the body with tweezers.
