HOUSTON James Rodriguez Colombia Jersey , Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- The Communist Party of China (CPC) has done a great job in eliminating poverty and improving people's livelihood, a local U.S. expert on China has said.

Meanwhile, the party is also evolving by fixing its own problems, added Jon R. Taylor, a political science professor at University of St. Thomas in Houston, in a recent interview with Xinhua.

Recalling China's history of development, he pointed out that the CPC has led China through several stages, from getting China back on its feet to turning China into a preeminent country in the world.

Among other great achievements Guillermo Celis Colombia Jersey , China's high-speed rail has become ""the envy of the world,"" and the development of the homegrown large passenger plane C919 has also garnered worldwide attention, he said.

The scholar added that he particularly admires the CPC's willingness and determination to alleviate and eliminate poverty. ""That is amazing and laudable,"" he said.

By reducing poverty, the CPC has kept its promise of improving people's lives, and has also helped China modernize in all sorts of ways, he added.

Meanwhile, thanks to the CPC Fredy Guarin Colombia Jersey , China has become ""the leading proponent of economic globalization and liberalization"" since the United States has ""dropped the ball,"" he said.

All those achievements clearly show the role of the CPC, he said. ""If it was not the party, China would not be where it is today. People can disagree with that all they want, but imagine where China would be today without the CPC in its primary role as the leading party.""

At the same time, the CPC, just like any political party in the world, has its own problems Frank Fabra Colombia Jersey , such as corruption, but it is addressing them, said Taylor.

""Here's the thing to keep in mind about China: They don't hide it underneath a bush,"" he said.

Taylor said that in his public administration ethics class, he has shown his students the smartphone app with which the Chinese people can report corruption to the government.

""That is not the stereotype of a closed society and closed political party. That is a political party that obviously continues to modernize, continues to move forward, and continues to at least understand that the times change,"" he said.

Taylor emphasized that Western countries must understand that China has a different system from Western-style democracy.

""The Communist Party of China is a leading party for a reason Felipe Aguilar Colombia Jersey ,"" said the professor, ""because it has tremendous success and continues to have success.""

A hungry wolf walks down the mountain to a village looking for food. He quietly makes his way among a flock of sheep and grabs one of them. The sheep starts bleeding and the wolf starts dragging his prey out of the flock. The other sheep just go with the killer.

This brilliant illustration of the “herd mentality” is the kind of stuff that Serbian director Emir Kusturica frowns at — and wins fans.

“Stupid,” he says, when asked to describe his feelings about walking on the red carpet. “For some people, the ultimate goal in life is to walk on a red carpet. It is a dream of them, but it is my nightmare.”

The Serbian, 62, has brought home awards from all the three big European film festivals — Berlin Farid Diaz Colombia Jersey , Cannes and Venice — besides other awards from prominent international film festivals.

As head of the jury of the 2016 Shanghai International Film and TV Festival, Kusturica had no choice but to walk down the red carpet. The above story was his way of letting it known that his priorities lied elsewhere.

At the Kustendorf International Film and Music Festival, which he co-founded and is held in a Serbian village in January, “there’s no red carpet.”

In fact, the festival opened in 2008 with a burial procession of “Die Hard 4.0” at the Bad Films Cemetery! Eight years down the line, Kusturica admits he had given up his fight against Hollywood.

“I am just discovering that the cinema of today is really different from the 1990s. It is transforming into a new shape globally, and I hope it will thrive,” he says.

“A huge amount of films are made every year. When I was competing in 1985 in Cannes Edwin Cardona Colombia Jersey , the commission selected from 820 movies. Today, there are usually around 2,000. The quantity is growing, which doesn’t mean the quality is growing as well. In 10 years, the number of films will continue to increase, which means the number of commercial garbage will also increase.”

He says a new language has to be found — a language that is “in between television, YouTube and iPhones. We learned how to make cinema that will be shown on a big screen, but today’s cinema is abating to almost no screen.”

“In the end it is going to turn out like glasses Dayro Moreno Colombia Jersey , or it is going to be injected in your brain.”

He is not at all excited about the new technologies that have re-invented and re-defined cinema for some filmmakers, such as virtual reality, or VR.

“Visual reality?” he hits back, and then adds, “visual stupidity. For me, 3D is absolutely a degradation of cinema. It is an idea of how to squeeze human brain and make them absolutely addicted to such squeeze. Nobody can stop this trend of 3D or VR or whatever, because many people are just running after profits.”

But it doesn’t necessarily mean he has blacklisted the new technologies. His latest film “On the Milk Road,” in which he acts alongside Monica Berlucci David Ospina Colombia Jersey , has computer-generated image of snakes that the characters in the film are supposed to be fighting with.

According to him, “technology needs to have a purpose and has to be seamless.”

Kusturica’s definition of a good movie is “what is sincere, emotional, bizarre, strange and what you don’t expect.”

That also describes his filmography. In the 1995 film “Underground,” Kusturica’s protagonist ends up masturbating in a b.
