I am a college student that is looking for ideas for a multicultural research project to conduct in both Rome and Bejing, China. If I can come up with a good project, I might be able to get my trip to Rome and Bejing paid for. The project can be basically anything I want to research as long as it involves both cultures, since my school has campuses in both Italy and China. I'm wondering if anyone has any insight into contemporary issues facing both countries, in politics or religion or anything, I willing to research just about anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is not so much contemporary but, it lays the basis for any connection between the two countries.
You could try the foods, art, and clothing after time that Marco Polo visited China. The development of similarities or parallels through time after his visits.
If you want contemporary, you could compare how Roman empire was at its beginning compares to how China is becoming a world economic power today and effects on the people, environment, culture, and the rest of the world.

Hi,
Why not "Tourism"?
Both countries has this as a big industry.
You could find more searching the internet.
Here is a site you could start reading for Italy:

Check the index part at the right side, there are many different cathegories.
I wish you good luck with your project and hope you will have a nice travel to both countries!

For Italy. They took some local politicans and told them they were going to be interviewed for something. So the makeup people cleaned up their face, whiped their mouth and what not, and then took them to the interview. Then tests were done on the tissues used to clean the mouths of the politicians and it turns out 32% had trace amounts of illegal drugs in their saliva meaning they had smoked pot or taken coke in the last 8 days. These finds are trying to be covered up.
For China. It is not the US who is paying for the war in Iraq, it's China, the US is up to their eyeballs finacially to China. That is how they will take over.
