From Wikipedia: Radio Free Asia is a United States government–funded, nonprofit international broadcasting corporation that broadcasts and publishes online news, information and commentary to readers and listeners in East Asia. Its self-stated mission is "to provide accurate and timely news and information to Asian countries whose governments prohibit access to a free press."<br /><br />Based on Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, it was established in the 1990s with the aim of promoting democratic values and human rights, and diminishing Communist Party of China control. It is funded by a grant from the U.S. Agency for Global Media (formerly the "Broadcasting Board of Governors"), an independent agency of the United States government. In 2017, RFA and other networks, such as Voice of America, were put under the newly created US Agency for Global Media, an independent federal agency. RFA is the only station outside China that broadcasts in the Uygur-language. It has been recognized for played a vital role in exposing Xinjiang re-education camps. The New York Times regards RFA as one of the few reliable sources of information about Xinjiang.<br /><br />Attached is an image of Radio Free Asia Director Libby Liu addressing diplomats on RFA's broadcasts to the citizens of China

Civil Service of Imperial China
<h4><a href="https://vmps.omeka.net/exhibits/show/international-public-service-g/international-public-service-g">Return to International Public Service</a></h4>
The origin of civil service can actually be traced back to Imperial China over 1000 years ago, where men who had memorized the classics were admitted to government administration by correctly answering written questions. This civil service examination system was a method of recruiting civil officials based on merit and knowledge rather than family or political connections. In theory, any Chinese with the exception of one or two outcasts, could go through the examinations. For a millennium until 1904, the Chinese Emperor recruited his top aides using this method and personally examined the top candidates himself. The examinations elicited the voluntary participation of millions of men and also attracted the attention of both elites and commoners at all levels of society.

Chinese Public Health movement is the large collection of Chinese Public Health materials, about seven thousand items produced from early 20th century to the year of SARS. The collection has a wide range of media presentations: posters, health newsletters, health newspapers, paintings, pharmaceutical advertisements, calendars, children's chess games, jigsaw puzzles on health topics, playing cards on SARS, lantern slides, negatives, photographs, and health award certificates, as well as books and journals. The posters were designed and printed by Chinese local and central governments .These materials present rich visual representations of public health concerns which were closely tied to the political, social, economic, and even military engagements of China during different time periods.

Blake Chow, Highest Ranking Chinese LAPD
<h4><a href="https://vmps.omeka.net/exhibits/show/public-safety-law-enforcement-/public-safety-law-enforcement-">Return to Safety and Law Enforcement</a></h4>
From Officer to Sergeant, from Lieutenant to Captain, and then finally all the way to Commander, Blake Chow has deserved becoming the highest ranking Chinese-American police officer in the history of the Los Angeles Police Department. He proved he deserved to climb the ladder as he went above and beyond each task and assignment given to him. During his time as Captain, he was given responsibility to start a new division, Real Time Analysis and Critical Response Division. This division would manage the city under major occurrences, analyze crime on a real time basis to look for patterns and where to place officers, and to keep track of all uniformed resources. When Blake was assigned to the Hollenbeck area in 2007, homicide rates dropped at a record that hadn’t been seen since the 1970’s. This kind of effect came with him when he was assigned to Central Area the year after, where crime dropped by 11%. When in 2010 he became Commander, he was the first Chinese-American to do so in the LAPD’s 140 year history, and was awarded the History Makers Award by the Los Angeles Chinese American Museum.
