On the Top Of the World P May 27 In 1975， China measured Mount Qomolangma， the highest peak in the world， for the first time， determining its height to

A new round of measurements was initiated on April 30 by the Ministry of Natural Resources， Ministry of Foreign Affairs， General Administration of S
6、port of China and Government of Tibet Autonomous Region. It took nearly a month for the eight-member survey team to reach the summit at the third attempt， after failing twice due to weather changes. Measuring the worlds highest peak is a formidable mission， which requires advanced surveying and mapp

The success of the project showcases the courage and spirit of the Chinese amid difficulties. The updated

Meeting Basic Needsxxxx May 29 Today， the per-capita annual disposable income in China has reached 30，000 yuan（$4，220.7）.
