Two simple questions
I would like to know that:
1.) I often see Chinese news paper use "China's", however I am not sure is it proper English or not ?? I believe there is China and Chinese in English but no China's, am I right?
Example: China's official Xinhua news agency says eight children were killed
2.)What tense should I use when I refer to literature, Person and Theory?
Such as:
The New York Times (state/stated) that the pollution level has reached the historical high level.
Freeman(1984) (state/stated) that Stakeholder theory attempts to ascertain which groups are ................
The Stakeholder theory (state/stated) that there are other parties involved, including governmental bodies, political groups........
