An official in Pingjiang tells Global Times that the government has hired a group of environmental science experts to examine the quality of the region's tap water to reassure residents.
Financial aid experts say the startups have yet to tap a key market: international students in the U.S., who can't access the federal student-loan market and are often locked out of private options.
But experts who are members of the Lords have far more power than those on tap, for they can vote against the government when it errs and persuade other peers to do so, too.
