In recent years, an increasingly assertive People's Republic of China (PRC) leadership has sought to extend the PRC's influence globally. To this end, it has developed diverse strategies ranging from soft power to more coercive means. The more visible strategies include the Belt and Road Initiative, the Chinese Dream, and 'wolf warrior' diplomacy. At the soft power end of the spectrum, Chinese overseas students are at the nexus between two strategies of soft power -the Chinese diaspora and the internationalisation of higher education. While there is an established literature analysing China's soft power worldwide, relatively little has been done on the role of higher education, particularly where this concerns overseas Chinese students. The article will examine China's use of overseas students to project its soft power. It then identifies the strategies that support this, viz. ideological and political education to prepare young people for this role and, once overseas, an appeal to a conception of the Chinese diaspora, as well as the organisations (e.g. embassies and student associations) that form potential channels to students and monitor and support them in their role.
this thesis introduces a method of MPEG-4 video encoder based on embedded ARM CPU. This method realizes MPEG-4 video coding subset, which is based on embedded Linux and MXL hardware. In order to improve coding efficiency, the thesis optimizes encoder from aspects of algorithm and structure and so on. Firstly, it uses the hardware of embedded multimedia processors to achieve DCT algorithm. And it has a optimization for a key of motion estimation, uantization, a half-pixel interpolation and so on, then In this paper, a half-pixel search algorithm, which is based on motion estimation, is proposed. And a half-pixel search algorithm is optimized. The standard test sequence experiment shows that it is feasible.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
