《多元文化搭设族群平衡木》

    本文通过介绍加拿大实施的多元文化主义政策，寻找一根民族间和平共处的平衡木。它认为，在民族问题上加拿大为中国树立了一个值得借鉴的榜样。作者强调中国5000年文明史是多个民族共同创造的，所以对少数民族文化的承认和保护就是对中国5000年文明史的承认，也是对人权普遍性的认识。民族不分大小，都应该拥有同样的权利。通过2008年奥运会，中国展现给世界的是一个强国、大国的姿态，因此中国有这个能力，也有这个责任，表现出对少数民族更多的包容和保护。

Multiculturalism as the Ethnic Balance Beam

This article describes the implementation of Canada's policy of pursuing multiculturalism as a means of establishing peaceful coexistence among different ethnic groups. It posits Canada as a relevant and promising example for issues of ethnicity in China. The author stresses that China's 5000-year history of civilization was created by the efforts of its different ethnic groups. Therefore the recognition and protection of ethnic minority culture in China is in fact the recognition of the country's 5,000 years of civilization, as well as the understood universality of the awareness, protection, and pursuit of human rights. Regardless of the size of an ethnic group, it should have the same rights before the law as any other ethnicity. With Beijing's 2008 Olympic Games, China has shown to the world it is a powerful, important country in the global economy, as well as the global polity. As such, the Chinese government has the ability and the responsibility to include different ethnic minority groups in the development process and ensure the protection of their culture.

Hi Professor

Ms. Wang Li the academic advisor at our embassy suggested that I contact you to join your group. I am an associate professor at Ecole Polytechnique at Université de Montréal since 1994.

In summary in 2010 and after I will be more available for short contracts in China to teach and promote Canadian studies including law/political sciences. I am a former Canadian diplomat and a member of the Canadian Bar Association. My field of practice is international law and Canadian Affairs. I did serve often on many Canadian delegation to several diplomatic conferences.

You will find my CV /resume and a short version in Mandarin. Few of my courses are already in Mandarin but I need a translator. I did teach often in Beijing at the Beijing University for Astronautic and Aeronautic different courses for several years. I could provide references from BUAA.

I could teach several course related to:

 ● Canadian legal systems both Civil laws and Common laws

 ● Canadian politics and the Quebec perspective

 ● Canadian Military History and today roles of Canadian Forces

 ● Foreign Canadian policy abroad

 ● Canadian business ethics and corporate governance

 ● Canadian environmental policies and regulations

 ● Canadian transport players

 ● Chinese immigration contribution to a better Canada

Of course I be glad to participate also to a seminar, panel or research group to publish jointly with Chinese scholars. The mandarin version of my CV reflect mainly my transport achievements but you will see in my resume that I have several degrees from Canadian Universities in different fields of expertise like my academic publications and teaching experiences.

I be glad to teach more in China for your members preferably for short stays (few weeks) in 2010 and after. I could also replace for few months a professor on sabbatical leave.

Xie xie，
