2 Suggest the educational resources of some major cities should be openly pushed on the Internet.

The following are the details of the two proposals:

1. Encourage private enterprises to enter the field of aeronautics to launch rocket and satellite

In recent years, China developed rapidly in aerospace industry and made a series of remarkable achievements. These achievements affect and prompt the development of the relevant industry and the whole economy in China. However, compared to the United States, Russia and Europe, China still need improvement in aerospace industry. 

Be aimed at current situation Robin Li encourages private enterprises to develop, build and launch rockets and satellites for the aerospace industry. In addition, he suggests the cooperation between the private enterprise and national aeronautic companies to promote the development of aerospace industry, to use space technology in other related industries.

2. Suggest the educational resources of some major cities should be openly pushed on the Internet.

At present, they are some problems in the development of public education in China, such as disequilibrium distribution of educational resources. A large number of high quality educational resources concentrated in a small amount of the primary and secondary schools without sharing to the non-major schools, especially schools in remote areas.

In this regard, Li suggests each major school to share their lesson plans, courseware and other information via the Internet to the public. In addition he also advises the government to improve the school’s network infrastructure to provide electronic educational resources and services available to students.

With the support from the Internet, more and more parents and students who come from remote and less-developed regions can have equal access to quality educational resources, which effectively resolve the imbalance of educational resources and avoid wasting public education resources in the future.
