中國(guó)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力繼續(xù)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. |

| 3 in Shandong die from tick bites |
山東省三人被蜱蟲(chóng)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.
