Git 会把你对每个分支以及 HEAD 做过的操作都记在 .git/logs/ 目录里。针对 HEAD 的操作写在 .git/logs/HEAD，而像分支这样的引用会对应 .git/logs/refs/heads/main 这样的文件。每条日志就是一次“动作”：提交、从远端拉取、合并分支、切换分支（切换只会出现在 HEAD 的日志里，不会出现在具体分支的日志里）等等。
\n$ echo -e "Has spring come indeed?\\nOn that nameless mountain lie\\nThin layers of mist.\\n\\n - Matsuo Bashō" > haiku.txt\n$ git status\nOn branch main\n\nNo commits yet\n\nUntracked files:\n (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)\n haiku.txt\n\nnothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)\n
当你执行 git fetch 时，Git 会查看服务器上的引用是否和你放在 .git/refs/remotes 里的那些匹配，然后据此更新本地。Git 告诉你 “Your branch is up to date with ‘origin/main’.”，意思就是本地分支指向的哈希和远端分支一样，也就是 .git/refs/heads/main 与 .git/refs/remotes/origin/main 完全相同。
\n\n\n\n
引用文件里到底有什么？答案只有一个提交哈希！我们已经知道自己的提交哈希了，来手工创建 main 分支，让它指向刚刚那份匠心提交：

BEIJING, June 5 (Xinhua) -- China has urged the United States to abandon its generalized and excessive use of the national security concept, and to collaborate with all parties in maintaining a rules-based multilateral trading system, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.
At a regular press conference, He Yongqian, spokesperson for the ministry, made the remarks when asked to comment on the U.S. decision to raise tariffs on imported steel, aluminium and their derivative products from 25 percent to 50 percent.
He said that such U.S. moves not only harm others and itself, but also will severely disrupt the stability of global industrial and supply chains.
The United States should abandon the zero-sum mentality, address respective concerns through equal dialogue, and jointly maintain the stability of global industrial and supply chains, He said.

China's rapid development and strong protection of intellectual property have been praised by Daren Tang, director-general of the World Intellectual Property Organization, as a significant achievement not only for the country but also for the world.
\n
"The Chinese IP ecosystem cannot just be said to be one of huge quantity, but increasingly of high quality as well," Tang said at the opening ceremony of the 14th China International Patent Fair in Dalian, Liaoning province, on Monday.
\n
Tang highlighted China's innovative progress, noting that the country entered the top 10 in WIPO's Global Innovation Index in 2025, making it the highest-ranked among upper-middle-income economies. He said 24 of China's innovation clusters are among the world's top 100, with the Hong Kong-Guangzhou-Shenzhen cluster ranked first.
\n
He also commended China's strong momentum in its green transition, citing rapid growth in the electric vehicle industry, which has surged by 36 percent, the battery industry (53 percent) and the solar industry (18 percent). These advancements, he said, are helping drive green technology and artificial intelligence-enabled industries, which now make up nearly one-fifth of China's economy.
\n
In response to challenges brought by emerging digital technologies, especially AI, Tang called for adjustments to better support the integration of digital and industrial innovation. He stressed that intellectual property should be made more accessible, benefiting not only large enterprises but also startups and small and medium-sized companies.
\n
"IP must accompany the aspirations of researchers and scientists so that laboratory results can have a real impact on society and the economy," he said.
\n
Tang also called for a more comprehensive approach to intellectual property management — integrating patents, trademarks and designs into cohesive business strategies — and suggested policymakers align IP policies across industrial, digital and creative sectors to encourage innovation synergies.
\n
The 14th China International Patent Fair, which concludes on Wednesday, aims to promote patent transformation and utilization to empower innovative development. The event, considered China's premier national exhibition in the IP field, has become an important platform for exchanging innovations and fostering trade cooperation across industries both domestically and internationally.
\n
During the opening ceremony, Antonio Campinos, president of the European Patent Office, delivered a speech via video link. He said that in 2024, the office received 200,000 patent applications, with more than 10 percent coming from China, making the country the fourth-largest source of applications.
\n
Campinos said the office has launched services to help innovators gain easier and faster access to the European market and expressed his eagerness to continue working with China to build a high-quality intellectual property system.
\n
Shen Changyu, head of the China National Intellectual Property Administration, likened the use of patents to a "bridge" that transforms innovative achievements into productive forces. He emphasized its importance for driving innovation-led development.
\n
Shen encouraged more intellectual property exchanges during the event, describing it as a platform to promote high-level opening-up and support high-quality growth.

Wang Bo, former vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the People's Congress of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for accepting bribes exceeding 449 million yuan ($62 million), a court in Hubei province announced on Tuesday.
\n
Wang was also deprived of his political rights for life, and all of his personal assets were confiscated, according to a ruling made by the Yichang Intermediate People's Court.
\n
In China, a suspended death sentence is typically commuted to life in prison if the criminal commits no new offenses during the two-year probation period. The sentence can be further reduced for good behavior.
\n
However, in Wang's case, the court said that there would be no possibility of a sentence reduction or parole, even if he behaves well. This means Wang will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
\n
Additionally, his illicit gains and relevant interests were ordered to be turned over to the State treasury, it added.
\n
According to the court, from the first half of 2003 to May 2024, Wang, 67, used the positions he held in Inner Mongolia to seek benefits for other individuals and departments in various matters, including business operations, project contracting and job adjustments. In return, he accepted bribes worth more than 449 million yuan.
\n
The court noted that Wang's activities constituted the crime of bribery, "and he should be sentenced to death, as the amount of his bribes was extremely large and the circumstances of his offense were extremely severe, bringing huge losses to the interests of the country and the people," it said.
\n
"Considering that he confessed to the crime, voluntarily shared many bribery facts unknown to investigators and returned his illicit proceeds, we leniently punished him with a suspended death (sentence), but without further commutation or parole after being reduced to life imprisonment," it added.
\n
A native of Inner Mongolia, Wang started his career in 1977 and joined the Communist Party of China in 1986. For decades he served in various positions in the region, including as mayor of Hohhot, the regional capital, and as deputy mayor of Baotou. He became vice-chairman of the standing committee of the regional people's congress, the local top legislature, in early 2018.

Luo Hongyang, his wife Li Ying, and their son pose for a photo as they try to capture the moment a Long March 8A carrier rocket blasts off from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan province on Feb 11.
\n
A time-lapse photo captures the trajectory of a Long March 7A rocket, witnessed by Luo and his family in Guangdong province in 2023.
\n
Luo poses for a photo with his wife and eldest son in Sanya, Hainan province, on June 1.
\n\n
Public displays of affection, or PDA for short, can raise smiles or eyebrows in China. But for 37-year-old Luo Hongyang, PDA has become the launchpad of both his career and fame. Jokingly called the "King of PDA" by his friends, Luo doesn't just share romantic snapshots with his wife Li Ying on social media, but frames them against splendid backdrops of rockets soaring into the sky.
\n
That unusual pairing of love and liftoffs has propelled Luo into the spotlight. Space buffs adore him, the media celebrates him and space program officials have even reposted his shots. His photographs aren't just tender moments, but fiery testaments to how passion, timing and a keen eye can take your work into a whole new orbit.
\n
Luo fell in love with photography in 2009, when his mother gifted him a camera. He used it extensively to take pictures of his girlfriend Li, then later turned it into a livelihood when he quit his internet job in 2019 to open a portrait studio in his hometown Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
\n
The venture proved profitable, allowing him to open a second studio. By then, Luo's interests had expanded to include astrophotography. Nights spent shooting star-streaked skies and distant galaxies honed his skills. Some of his photographs were picked up by Chinese photography and astronomy magazines. "At that time I didn't know much about rockets, satellites or our space programs," Luo recalled. His limited knowledge about spaceflight came from media reports and rockets were not on his radar.
\n
An extraordinary idea
\n
Then came a cosmic twist. Lou's world would change in March 2020, when a friend called to offer an extraordinary proposition. He had booked a hotel room in Wenchang, Hainan province, to watch a rocket launch at the Wenchang Space Launch Center but was unable to travel due to restrictions following the outbreak of COVID-19. He asked Luo if he would like to use the room instead.
\n
Luo, who was visiting his wife's parents in nearby Sanya at the time, seized the opportunity. "I thought, 'Why not? I've never seen a rocket in real life. It sounds interesting.'" Determined to make the most of this chance, Luo reached out to photography friends with experience in shooting rocket launches. One of them, Zhang Jingyi, invited him to an online chat group where enthusiasts traded tips about rocket photography. Luo absorbed everything he could. "I learned a lot from the online session," he said.
\n
Luo drove three hours with Li and her younger brother and reached the Gloria Longda Hotel near the Wenchang Space Launch Center two days before the scheduled launch on March 16, 2020.From the hotel balcony, they could see the towering Long March 7A rocket.
\n
Professional photographers and mediapersons had already crowded the hotel rooftop. "The view from the hotel balcony was good enough, so I decided to take pictures from there," he recalled.
\n
On the day of the launch, Lou could not contain his excitement. As dusk fell, Luo peered through his viewfinder, his heart racing. As the countdown ended and flames burst from the rocket's engines, he pressed the shutter relentlessly, the clicks blending with his wife's shrieks of excitement. "I had never cared about rockets," Li said. "But standing so close, watching the engines spit fire, I couldn't stop screaming."
\n
Though the Long March 7A mission ended in failure due to technical malfunctions, Luo was unfazed.
\n
He had captured a spectacle. "I took some nice pictures," he boasted, later posting them on WeChat and Weibo. That experience planted a seed of obsession.
\n
In love with rockets
\n
From then on, Luo followed every piece of spaceflight news he could find. He studied NASA images, compared them with the ones he took in Wenchang, and refined his techniques.
\n
His next chance came quickly. A few months later, Wenchang prepared to launch a Long March 5B, one of China's most powerful rockets. Luo booked the same hotel room. This time, he was more confident and determined to capture the enormity of the liftoff from the privacy of his balcony.
\n
The results were striking. When Luo shared the images, friends raved about how "cool" the rocket looked. But Luo had already begun thinking beyond close-ups.
\n
He wanted to make the experience more personal. What if the photographs didn't just show the rocket, but the couple themselves, sharing the moment? "I wanted to produce better photos (of rockets) and also put the soaring rocket, my wife and myself into one picture," he said.
\n
In July 2020, opportunity struck again. China was about to launch a Long March 5 carrying Tianwen 1, its first independent Martian mission. Luo staged something different: he positioned a camera on the beach, configured another inside the hotel room with a remote trigger, and stood with Li facing the rocket.
\n
When ignition started, the images captured them gazing skyward as flames tore into the heavens.
\n
"I had never seen selfies of couples with rockets before," Luo said. "Everyone focused on close-ups. We decided to do something new."
\n
Love under a rocket's glow
\n
Four months later, China prepared to launch the Chang'e 5 lunar mission. Scheduled before daybreak, it posed a creative challenge. Luo responded by crafting a transparent umbrella edged with tiny glowing bulbs, transforming a night shoot into a luminous tableau. "By that time, I had become a true space fan," Luo said. "I bought some spaceflight merchandise to try and make my pictures more interesting and unique."
\n
In June 2021, the couple traveled to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Inner Mongolia to witness the Shenzhou XII crewed mission. For the first time, Luo was photographing astronauts departing for China's new Tiangong space station.
\n
The journey from Nanning took a full day, but Lou said the effort was worth it. "Seeing off our astronauts flying toward our own space station is an unforgettable memory," he said.
\n
Since that first launch five years ago, Luo has photographed 37 rocket launches, which sent astronauts, deep-space probes, cargo ships and various kinds of satellites into orbit. His images, which feature him, his wife and their oldest son, have been shared widely online on social media. Media outlets have also used them extensively.
\n
Family matters
\n
Luo's enthusiasm for rockets has rubbed off on his family as well. "My oldest son is nearly 6 years old and has already seen 24 launches, including one from a ship. He is also a space fan and likes sharing what he knows about rockets and spaceflights with his friends and kindergarten teachers," said Luo. Luo intends to take him to the Xichang and Taiyuan launch centers once he's old enough to appreciate them.
\n
Recognition has followed Luo's interest in rockets. He has been invited to participate in an official documentary about China's lunar program. A filmmaker friend has also produced a short documentary on Luo and his family's "rocket stories". What began as a hobby has become not just a career, but a launchpad for fame.
\n
Luo's journey is a reminder of how chance encounters can change a life.
\n
A hotel room, a balcony, a single rocket — and suddenly, a career trajectory shifts. What began as a pastime photographing his girlfriend became a livelihood. What began as curiosity about rockets became a creative identity celebrated nationwide.

One of them, Zhang Jingyi, invited him to an online chat group where enthusiasts traded tips about rocket photography. Luo absorbed everything he could. "I learned a lot from the online session," he said.
\n
Luo drove three hours with Li and her younger brother and reached the Gloria Longda Hotel near the Wenchang Space Launch Center two days before the scheduled launch on March 16, 2020.From the hotel balcony, they could see the towering Long March 7A rocket.
\n
Professional photographers and mediapersons had already crowded the hotel rooftop. "The view from the hotel balcony was good enough, so I decided to take pictures from there," he recalled.
\n
On the day of the launch, Lou could not contain his excitement. As dusk fell, Luo peered through his viewfinder, his heart racing. As the countdown ended and flames burst from the rocket's engines, he pressed the shutter relentlessly, the clicks blending with his wife's shrieks of excitement. "I had never cared about rockets," Li said. "But standing so close, watching the engines spit fire, I couldn't stop screaming."
\n
Though the Long March 7A mission ended in failure due to technical malfunctions, Luo was unfazed.
\n
He had captured a spectacle. "I took some nice pictures," he boasted, later posting them on WeChat and Weibo. That experience planted a seed of obsession.
\n
In love with rockets
\n
From then on, Luo followed every piece of spaceflight news he could find. He studied NASA images, compared them with the ones he took in Wenchang, and refined his techniques.
\n
His next chance came quickly. A few months later, Wenchang prepared to launch a Long March 5B, one of China's most powerful rockets. Luo booked the same hotel room. This time, he was more confident and determined to capture the enormity of the liftoff from the privacy of his balcony.
\n
The results were striking. When Luo shared the images, friends raved about how "cool" the rocket looked. But Luo had already begun thinking beyond close-ups.
\n
He wanted to make the experience more personal. What if the photographs didn't just show the rocket, but the couple themselves, sharing the moment? "I wanted to produce better photos (of rockets) and also put the soaring rocket, my wife and myself into one picture," he said.
\n
In July 2020, opportunity struck again. China was about to launch a Long March 5 carrying Tianwen 1, its first independent Martian mission. Luo staged something different: he positioned a camera on the beach, configured another inside the hotel room with a remote trigger, and stood with Li facing the rocket.
\n
When ignition started, the images captured them gazing skyward as flames tore into the heavens.
\n
"I had never seen selfies of couples with rockets before," Luo said. "Everyone focused on close-ups. We decided to do something new."
\n
Love under a rocket's glow
\n
Four months later, China prepared to launch the Chang'e 5 lunar mission. Scheduled before daybreak, it posed a creative challenge. Luo responded by crafting a transparent umbrella edged with tiny glowing bulbs, transforming a night shoot into a luminous tableau. "By that time, I had become a true space fan," Luo said. "I bought some spaceflight merchandise to try and make my pictures more interesting and unique."
\n
In June 2021, the couple traveled to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Inner Mongolia to witness the Shenzhou XII crewed mission. For the first time, Luo was photographing astronauts departing for China's new Tiangong space station.
\n
The journey from Nanning took a full day, but Lou said the effort was worth it. "Seeing off our astronauts flying toward our own space station is an unforgettable memory," he said.
\n
Since that first launch five years ago, Luo has photographed 37 rocket launches, which sent astronauts, deep-space probes, cargo ships and various kinds of satellites into orbit. His images, which feature him, his wife and their oldest son, have been shared widely online on social media. Media outlets have also used them extensively.
\n
Family matters
\n
Luo's enthusiasm for rockets has rubbed off on his family as well. "My oldest son is nearly 6 years old and has already seen 24 launches, including one from a ship. He is also a space fan and likes sharing what he knows about rockets and spaceflights with his friends and kindergarten teachers," said Luo. Luo intends to take him to the Xichang and Taiyuan launch centers once he's old enough to appreciate them.
\n
Recognition has followed Luo's interest in rockets. He has been invited to participate in an official documentary about China's lunar program. A filmmaker friend has also produced a short documentary on Luo and his family's "rocket stories". What began as a hobby has become not just a career, but a launchpad for fame.
\n
Luo's journey is a reminder of how chance encounters can change a life.
\n
A hotel room, a balcony, a single rocket — and suddenly, a career trajectory shifts. What began as a pastime photographing his girlfriend became a livelihood. What began as curiosity about rockets became a creative identity celebrated nationwide.
The United States' persistence with its aggressive trade stance, characterized by threats and intimidation, does nothing to resolve the frictions with China. Instead, it risks eroding the foundation of bilateral trade relations.
\n
Even though economic and trade teams from the two sides have engaged in four rounds of candid, in-depth negotiations in the past few months, the US still clings to the practice of saying one thing while doing another and continues to adopt coercive measures targeting China.
\n
Beijing has consistently communicated its stance, intentions and actions through established channels, such as the bilateral export control dialogue mechanism. However, the US administration has continued to overstretch the concept of national security, imposing a seemingly never-ending series of discriminatory measures against China, leaving Beijing with no choice but to take countermeasures.
\n
Despite saying the most recent economic and trade talks in Madrid in September "went well", the US has continued to introduce new restrictions intended to harm China's interests and the atmosphere of bilateral consultations. China was forced to respond when the US significantly expanded its export restrictions that month by placing the subsidiaries of already sanctioned companies from China and elsewhere under the same controls, increasing the number of Chinese companies facing the curbs from "around 3,000 to several thousand more", as CNN reported.
\n
In the latest tit-for-tat exchange, China has hit back with reciprocal countermeasures after the US put into effect additional port fees on China-linked ships in contravention of World Trade Organization rules and the principle of equality and mutual benefit outlined in the China-US Maritime Transport Agreement.
\n
In response, China will charge special port fees on US-linked vessels, effective on Tuesday, in accordance with the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on International Ocean Shipping and other laws and regulations.
\n
The Ministry of Transport also announced the launch of a probe into how the US Section 301 investigation affects the security and development interests of its shipping and shipbuilding sectors, as well as related industries and supply chains, on Tuesday.
\n
China's moves are fully justified and legitimate measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese industries and enterprises, as Lyu Daliang, a spokesperson for the General Administration of Customs of China, rightly pointed out at a news briefing on Monday.
\n
Yet, despite the frictions, the Ministry of Commerce confirmed the two sides have continued to maintain close communication under the framework of the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism, with the latest working-level talks between Chinese and US officials held on Monday.
\n
It is high time Washington demonstrated sincerity in the negotiating process. Its current approach, characterized by negotiation on one hand and intimidation on the other, is not conducive to fostering healthy bilateral economic and trade ties.
\n
Guided by the consensus reached during the recent telephone conversation between the leaders of the two countries, the US administration should work with Beijing to safeguard the achievements of previous negotiations, and strive to utilize the Sino-US economic and trade consultation mechanism effectively.
\n
As Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian has said, the US intimidatory measures are not a productive way to engage with China. China's position remains consistent and clear: It is always open to dialogue, but it will resolutely defend its interests. The US side should reflect on the past economic and trade consultations, which have demonstrated that differences can be resolved through mutual respect and equal consultation.
\n
The global economy is interconnected, and the actions of the two largest economies will inevitably have far-reaching consequences. It is in the best interests not only of themselves but also the entire world, for China and the US to find a path forward that prioritizes cooperation over conflict.
\n
To promote the sustainable development of Sino-US trade relations, both sides should address the respective concerns of the other through dialogue. They should leverage the China-US economic and trade consultation mechanism to resolve their differences and promote a stable, sound, and sustainable trajectory for bilateral ties. That requires the US side to demonstrate respect and sincerity. Only through such an approach can the two countries hope to resolve their trade frictions and contribute positively to global economic stability.

Editor's note: Thursday is World Food Day. Sun Qixin, president of China Agricultural University, told The Beijing News that the intensification of global climate change threatens food security. He said it is crucial to build resilience to address the challenges posed to the agricultural food system by global climate change. Below are excerpts from the interview. The views don't necessarily represent those of China Daily.
\n
Climate change has subjected the already fragile food supply system to severe challenges. This is why China is committed to building a more resilient agricultural food system, which requires innovations in technology, policies and institutions.
\n
Agriculture accounts for about 20 percent of the global increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions are not limited to carbon dioxide. Agriculture also produces methane and nitrous oxide. Methane primarily comes from livestock farming and paddy farming, while nitrous oxide is mainly the result of fertilizer use. Latest research shows that the greenhouse effect caused by methane is 30-40 times stronger than that of carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide is 80 times more potent.
\n
These emissions are inevitably generated to meet global food security needs. However, through technological innovation, China can reduce its emissions and achieve a green transformation. New technologies and farming methods not only ensure food security more comprehensively but also help reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly.
\n
The low-carbon green transformation of agriculture and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions are therefore vital for mitigating global climate change. Like forests, agriculture serves as a massive carbon sink, giving it dual significance.
\n
On the one hand, it is necessary to reduce emissions through technological innovations. On the other hand, it is important to increase carbon sequestration, which greatly helps to combat climate change. Smart agriculture is a key focus area in global agricultural development.
\n
Building an agricultural powerhouse is a major goal for China. There are roughly three models of agricultural powerhouses in the world. The first includes countries with abundant resources, such as the United States and Canada, where large-scale farming with abundant land per capita is supported by high technology. The second has countries with limited resources, such as many European countries, which have large-scale, highly intensive operations supported by technology. The third model includes countries that lead in specific fields, such as Israel and the Netherlands.
\n
China shares similarities with all three models but there are also some differences. The commonality lies in the need to continuously improve food production, while the difference is that China's farming scale is relatively small, with smallholder farming still the dominant model in the country. China's biggest challenge is the high production costs in agriculture.
\n
To become an agricultural powerhouse, China needs to strengthen agriculture and improve productivity. This can be achieved by expanding the scale of operations or increasing the added value of agricultural products to improve their competitiveness.
\n
Additionally, the country needs innovations in technology. It must foster agricultural enterprises, as they are key for innovation. The integration of artificial intelligence and agriculture is necessary for the transformation of agriculture. It is worth noting that becoming an agricultural powerhouse is not only an economic issue but also a social one. The income gap between urban and rural citizens must be reduced and the rural environment must be improved.
\n
After World War II, under the new international governance system, international aid received widespread attention as a political and institutional commitment from developed countries to developing nations. In the early years, China was a recipient of aid. However, as the country developed, it was able to provide support to other underdeveloped countries, including technical, intellectual and financial assistance.
\n
China should continue to maintain close cooperation with developed countries. As a responsible major power, it should also fulfill its commitment to aid other developing countries. Through cooperation in agricultural technology, China can help achieve food self-sufficiency in agriculture across the globe.

What was a central demand — the release of the Israeli hostages — has now been fulfilled, but the US peace plan still hinges on broader issues beyond a ceasefire. It encompasses the broader Middle East. Hence, the US' maximum pressure on Hamas and its embrace of the positions of major Arab states, led by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Egypt.
\n
Nonetheless, the complex peace plan is ridden with caveats and the old US stance on the Middle East is crumbling.
\n
Since 1945, the US' hegemony in the Middle East has relied on oil purchases, weapons sales and regime change. In diplomacy, Washington has favored bilateral peace treaties between Israel and Egypt (1979), Israel and Jordan (1994), and the Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (1993-95).
\n
Since the incumbent president's first term, the US has been building on the Abraham Accords (2020-21) — a series of agreements to normalize relations signed in 2020 by Israel and several Arab states, comprising a general declaration along with bilateral agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco.
\n
But arms sales are the key to the US' hegemony. For its allies, the US provides 60-80 percent of their lethal imports (Israel, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for example).For the rest, it supplies 50-60 percent of the total lethal imports (the UAE, Iraq and Qatar for instance).
\n
Additionally, the US' hegemony relies on aid dependency. Between 1946 and 2023, Washington provided a whopping $373 billion in foreign assistance for the Middle East. Before the Gaza catastrophe, the bulk of the aid was steered to just a few countries: Israel ($139 billion), Egypt ($83b), Iraq ($70b) and Jordan ($24b).
\n
Since the Middle East is the largest regional recipient of US aid, the impact should be reflected in increasing security and rising per capita income. Yet the net effect has been precisely the opposite. Worse, the military symbiosis between the US and Israel has triggered devastating spillovers into adjacent Arab states. This severe destabilization has been accompanied by lost years, even decades, with no increase in per capita income in the US aid-receiving Middle East states.
\n
Egypt had to cope with such stagnation from 1965 to 1975, and again in the early 2010s. Jordan lost a decade after the 1967 Six-Day War, during the first Palestinian uprising in the 1980s and again in the early 2010s. Even Israel has not been immune to stagnation periods, as evidenced by huge costs-of-living protests after the failure of the peace process.
\n
In Iran and Iraq, adversities have escalated since their 1980-88 war in which the US supplied arms to both sides. In Iraq, where the US had backed the 1963 coup, per capita income in 2010 was where it had been in 1978. In Iran, which experienced the first US-UK-led regime change in 1953, Washington's sanctions prevented any growth in per capita income for a quarter of a century after the Islamic Revolution and again in the 2010s.
\n
Following the 1949 US-led regime change, Syria's democratic path was undermined. As a result, Syria's per capita income before Oct 7, 2023, was the same as in 1981 — that is, 44 years ago. In Palestine, per capita income is now where it was in the early 1970s. In Yemen, per capita income is the same as it was 55 years ago.
\n
In the past decade, China has emerged as a credible and peaceful intermediary in the Middle East. In addition to investing significantly in countries burdened by decades of US-engineered regime change and US interference, Beijing has made several remarkable diplomatic achievements. Leading Middle East states such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye build on the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative in the region. Saudi Arabia remains one of China's largest oil suppliers, and it is selling oil in multiple currencies. For decades, the US fostered the divide between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Yet in March 2023, these two countries resumed diplomatic relations following a China-brokered deal. In July 2024, China played a vital role in fostering Palestinian national unity in the Beijing Declaration, signed by 14 different Palestinian factions. A month later, Beijing established a "second Silk Road" in the region. And in July 2025, China and Egypt expanded their bilateral cooperation across various economic sectors.
\n
Since 1945, Washington destabilized and triggered regime change in Middle East countries to maintain its hegemony in the region. The post-Sept 11, 2001, wars alone have cost more than $8 trillion and over 1 million lives. In the past, US military aid to Israel amounted to $3.8 billion per year; since Oct 7, 2023, it has soared to $23 billion. In Gaza and Yemen, it has made US complicit to attacks which have claimed tens of thousands of lives. From 2023 to 2025, a quarter of a million Palestinians — mainly women and children — have been killed or wounded in Gaza, and more than 5.3 million people in the region have been displaced because of Israel's post-Oct 7, 2023, wars.
\n
This catastrophe worsened by the US policies in the Middle East can be contrasted with China's initiatives focusing on de-escalation and stabilization, particularly through investment, development and modernization.
\n
The time for decisive economic development, led by China and the Global South, has arrived. Obliteration wars are no solution to 21st century challenges.

The International Monetary Fund has predicted that China's economy will grow 4.8 percent this year, up 0.3 percentage points on what was forecast a year ago, saying it expects the world economy to slow further in the coming years.
\n
Global growth was projected at 3.2 percent this year and 3.1 percent next year, the IMF said in its October World Economic Outlook, published on Tuesday at the start of the annual IMF/World Bank autumn meetings.
\n
The IMF's projection for China, close to China's goal of about 5 percent growth for the year, has reflected the shifting effects of trade policy and domestic efforts.
\n
"A stronger-than-expected out-turn in recent quarters — reflecting front-loading in international trade and relatively robust domestic consumption supported by fiscal expansion in 2025 — more than offset the headwinds from higher uncertainty and tariffs," the IMF said of China's growth prospects.
\n
China's Premier Li Qiang, presiding over a symposium on Tuesday on China's current economic situation and the next steps for economic work, emphasized the need to understand the current economic situation with a broader perspective.
\n
It is essential to view the long-term trends in economic development from the implementation of the Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development, assess the vitality of business entities through human resources, material, information and capital flows, and understand the resilience of China's economy in light of changes in the international landscape, he said.
\n
Li stressed the importance of enhancing the effectiveness of counter-cyclical adjustments, making the most of policy support, and using reform measures to clear obstacles hindering economic growth.
\n
He also called for sustained efforts to expand domestic demand, as well as measures to foster a world-class industrial ecosystem and address disorderly and irrational competition in some sectors.
\n
In April, when US President Donald Trump shook global trade norms by announcing sweeping tariffs, the IMF trimmed its forecast for China's growth by 0.6 percentage points in response to escalating US-China trade frictions.
\n
By July, following a pause on higher rates in May, it revised the figure upward by 0.8 percentage points. Now, half a year after the tariff war began, the IMF projects China's economy to maintain the growth rate it predicted in July, 4.8 percent, and that it will slow modestly next year.
\n
A week earlier the World Bank projected China's economy would grow 4.8 percent; in April it had forecast growth of 4 percent.
\n
China's gross domestic product grew 5.3 percent in the first half of this year, up 0.3 percentage points from the same period last year, according to official figures.
\n
"China is weathering higher tariffs with a weaker real exchange rate, redirected exports to Asia and Europe, and fiscal support," Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, the IMF's economic counselor and director of the research department, wrote in a blog on Tuesday.
\n
The US economy is expected to slow more sharply this year than was projected a year ago.
\n
Its growth, forecast at 2 percent this year, compares with the 2.2 percent projected in the October 2024 World Economic Outlook, mainly as a result of greater policy uncertainty, higher trade barriers, and lower growth in both the labor force and employment.
\n
Though the increase in tariffs and its effects have been smaller than expected so far, Gourinchas cautioned that it would be both premature and incorrect to conclude that the recent tariff surge has had no impact on global growth.
\n
While the immediate figures show limited visible fallout, the full economic effects are likely to unfold over time, he said.
\n
On the one hand, US tariffs remain elevated and trade tensions continue to flare, with no lasting agreements in sight and experience showing that trade shocks can take years to play out.
\n
Most of the burden seems to have fallen on US importers, because import prices excluding tariffs have stayed flat and retail prices have risen only modestly. However, consumers could still face higher costs, and trade rerouting could lead to lasting efficiency losses worldwide, Gourinchas said.
\n
On the other hand, other forces are simultaneously shaping the outlook. For example, tighter US immigration policies have reduced the supply of foreign-born workers, compounding the supply shock from tariffs.
\n
At the same time, loose financial conditions, a softer dollar and booming AI-driven investment are propping up demand and activity, though they may also be adding to inflationary pressures, Gourinchas said.
\n
In an analysis published a week ago, Oxford Economics predicted that a technology downturn would inflict a sharp global slowdown.
\n
"We constructed two scenarios for a tech sector downturn using Oxford Economics' Global Model," the researchers at the Oxford-based economic advisory firm said in a report on Oct 3.
\n
Despite risks, Gourinchas said, resolving policy uncertainty would provide a lift to the global economy, with clearer and more stable bilateral and multilateral trade agreements able to raise global output by 0.4 percent in the very near term.

The International Monetary Fund has predicted that China's economy will grow 4.8 percent this year, up 0.3 percentage points on what was forecast a year ago, saying it expects the world economy to slow further in the coming years.
\n
Global growth was projected at 3.2 percent this year and 3.1 percent next year, the IMF said in its October World Economic Outlook, published on Tuesday at the start of the annual IMF/World Bank autumn meetings.
\n
The IMF's projection for China, close to China's goal of about 5 percent growth for the year, has reflected the shifting effects of trade policy and domestic efforts.
\n
"A stronger-than-expected out-turn in recent quarters — reflecting front-loading in international trade and relatively robust domestic consumption supported by fiscal expansion in 2025 — more than offset the headwinds from higher uncertainty and tariffs," the IMF said of China's growth prospects.
\n
China's Premier Li Qiang, presiding over a symposium on Tuesday on China's current economic situation and the next steps for economic work, emphasized the need to understand the current economic situation with a broader perspective.
\n
It is essential to view the long-term trends in economic development from the implementation of the Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development, assess the vitality of business entities through human resources, material, information and capital flows, and understand the resilience of China's economy in light of changes in the international landscape, he said.
\n
Li stressed the importance of enhancing the effectiveness of counter-cyclical adjustments, making the most of policy support, and using reform measures to clear obstacles hindering economic growth.
\n
He also called for sustained efforts to expand domestic demand, as well as measures to foster a world-class industrial ecosystem and address disorderly and irrational competition in some sectors.
\n
In April, when US President Donald Trump shook global trade norms by announcing sweeping tariffs, the IMF trimmed its forecast for China's growth by 0.6 percentage points in response to escalating US-China trade frictions.
\n
By July, following a pause on higher rates in May, it revised the figure upward by 0.8 percentage points. Now, half a year after the tariff war began, the IMF projects China's economy to maintain the growth rate it predicted in July, 4.8 percent, and that it will slow modestly next year.

Campaigner Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah stands with protesters outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London on Monday, as the High Court decides in a trial whether systems installed in diesel vehicles were designed to cheat clean air laws.
\n
A major lawsuit against five of the world's biggest carmakers began at London's High Court on Monday, with lawyers accusing them of manipulating diesel emissions tests.
\n
The case is the latest chapter in the "dieselgate" saga, in which carmakers have been accused of using software to reduce harmful emissions under test conditions.
\n
It has been 10 years since the dieselgate scandal first emerged in the United States, when regulators revealed the Volkswagen Group had installed "defeat devices" in millions of diesel cars so they could pass laboratory emissions tests while emitting far higher emissions on the road.
\n
That discovery triggered global investigations, recalls, and settlements costing Volkswagen tens of billions of US dollars in fines and compensation.
\n
Given the scale of the new case, the court has selected five manufacturers — Mercedes, Ford, Peugeot Citroen, Renault, and Nissan — as the lead defendants and to be tried first. All of the companies deny the allegations.
\n
The outcome of the three-month trial could open the door to similar claims against nine other carmakers. Lawyers said the lawsuit could ultimately involve 1.6 million car owners, making it the largest group action case in English and Welsh legal history, the BBC reported.
\n
Unlawful defeat devices
\n
Lawyers representing owners of diesel vehicles allege that the companies used unlawful defeat devices to cheat clean air laws. The manufacturers deny the allegations.
\n
Martyn Day, of the legal firm Leigh Day, one of 22 entities representing drivers, said: "A decade after the dieselgate scandal first came to light, 1.6 million UK motorists now get their chance to establish at trial whether their vehicles contained technology designed to cheat emissions tests."
\n
He added that, if the allegations against the carmakers are upheld, they "would demonstrate one of the most egregious breaches of corporate trust in modern times".
\n
"It would also mean that people across the UK have been breathing in far more harmful emissions from these vehicles than they were told about, potentially putting the health of millions at risk."
\n
The trial will test a sample of diesel models from the five manufacturers, covering nearly 850,000 claimants, with damages to be decided next year.
\n
The ruling will also be binding for hundreds of thousands of similar claims against other carmakers, including BMW, Reuters reported.

The "Closed to all tours" signage is displayed near the rotunda of the US Capitol in Washington on Monday amid federal government shutdown.
\n
WASHINGTON — The Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson has predicted the federal government shutdown may become the longest in history, saying he "won't negotiate" with Democrats until they hit pause on their healthcare demands and reopen.
\n
Standing alone at the Capitol on the 13th day of the shutdown, the Republican speaker said he was unaware of the details of the thousands of federal workers being fired by the administration of President Donald Trump.
\n
It is a highly unusual mass layoff widely seen as a way to seize on the shutdown to reduce the scope of government. Vice-President JD Vance has warned of "painful" cuts ahead, even as employee unions sue.
\n
"We're barreling toward one of the longest shutdowns in American history," Johnson said on Monday.
\n
With no endgame in sight, the shutdown is expected to roll on for the foreseeable future. The closure has halted routine government operations, shuttered Smithsonian museums and other landmark cultural institutions, and left airports scrambling with flight disruptions — all injecting more uncertainty into an already precarious economy.
\n
The House is out of legislative session, with Johnson refusing to recall lawmakers back to Washington, while the Senate, closed on Monday for a federal holiday, was to return to work on Tuesday. However, senators are stuck in a cul-de-sac of failed votes as Democrats refuse to relent on their healthcare demands.
\n
Johnson thanked Trump for ensuring military personnel are paid this week, which removed one main pressure point that may have pushed the parties to the negotiating table.
\n
At its core, the shutdown is a debate over healthcare policy — particularly Affordable Care Act subsidies that are expiring for millions of people who rely on government aid to buy their own health insurance policies on the Obamacare exchanges. Democrats demand that the subsidies be extended, but Republicans argue that the issue can be dealt with later.
\n
The House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said that with Republicans having essentially shut down the chamber for a fourth week now, no real negotiations are underway. They are "nowhere to be found", he said.
\n
With Congress and the White House stalemated, some are eyeing the end of the month as the next potential deadline to reopen the government.
\n
Open enrollment begins on Nov 1 for the health program at issue, and US citizens will face the prospect of skyrocketing insurance premiums. The Kaiser Family Foundation has estimated that monthly costs would double if Congress fails to renew the subsidy payments that expire on Dec 31.
\n
At the end of this month, government workers on monthly pay schedules, including thousands of House aides, will not be paid.
\n
New disruption
\n
Meanwhile, a new round of layoffs at the Education Department is depleting an agency that was hit hard in the administration's previous mass firings, threatening new disruption to the nation's students and schools.
\n
The Trump administration started laying off 466 Education Department staffers on Friday amid mass firings across the government meant to pressure Democratic lawmakers over the federal shutdown. The layoffs would cut the agency's workforce by nearly one-fifth, reducing it to less than half its size when Trump took office on Jan 20.
\n
Department officials have not given details on the layoffs and did not immediately respond to a request for comment. AFGE Local 252, a union representing more than 2,700 department workers, said information from employees indicates cuts will decimate many offices within the agency.
\n
"We're talking about the people who worked on the beating heart of our federal public school programs," said Sasha Pudelski, director of advocacy for AASA, the association of school superintendents.
\n
The union president Rachel Gittleman said the new reductions, on top of previous layoffs, will "double down on the harm to K-12 students, students with disabilities, first-generation college students, low-income students, teachers and local education boards".

Fresh United States import tariffs are having unforeseen effects on many companies and industries, one of Europe's largest farm machinery companies says.
\n
The Guardian quoted Krone Agriculture, whose headquarters are in Lower Saxony, Germany, and which employs 10,000 people, as saying it has temporarily stopped exporting large pieces of farm machinery to the US because of little-known new tariffs on products that have steel components or steel derivatives.
\n
Bernard Krone, the company's chairman, was quoted as saying the new tariffs, not mentioned in a deal the US struck with the European Union in July, have stalled the company's exports to the US, which was its second-largest market, worth $130 million a year.
\n
The initial deal that calls for a blanket 15 percent tariff on EU exports was followed by the publication of a list of products deemed to include steel derivatives, Krone was quoted as saying.
\n
"That list was very alarming for us. Nobody could tell us what to do. Did the tariffs depend on weight, origin or the price of raw steel?"
\n
The steel derivatives list comprises 407 items, including knitting needles, combine harvesters, barbecues, fridges, dishwashers, elevators and wind turbines.
\n
Companies wanting to export any of those items to the US now need to provide detailed paperwork that sets out the origin, weight and value of their steel components. The US then uses the information to calculate how much in tariffs must be paid at the higher, 50 percent, rate.
\n
Oliver Richtberg, head of foreign trade at the German engineering federation VDMA in Frankfurt, said the form-filling is challenging, and many companies are unable to comply.
\n
"You have to get paperwork from the supplier to the supplier to the supplier," he said.
\n
"That is pretty much impossible… (European Commission President Ursula) von der Leyen speaks of stability, for our industry, (but) that is 100 percent not true. The bureaucratic hurdles are so high that some companies have just stopped exporting to the US."
\n
Companies that manage to negotiate the paperwork and ship products to the US will pass their extra costs on to customers, Krone was quoted as saying.
\n
"If the farmers' prices go up, then at the end of the day it is the US citizen who goes into (the store) who has to pay more for their daily goods."
\n
The US and the EU are preparing for a new round of negotiations on the next steps for their trade deal, with Washington eager to talk about the EU's new legislation around the digital and technology sectors, and its rules related to corporate compliance and climate-related regulations.
\n
The EU wants to ensure it retains regulatory autonomy and hopes to negotiate a lower tariff on steel and aluminum and their derivatives, insiders were said to have told Bloomberg News.

Grass overtakes an abandoned vineyard in northern California during the 2025 harvest season. Grapevines with yellowed, withered leaves remain unpicked as wine growers face mounting pressures from oversupply, rising costs and tariffs.
\n\n
From the sprawling vineyards of the Central Valley to the prestigious hillsides of Napa Valley, California's wine growers are facing a troubling harvest season.
\n
Rows of unpicked grapes shrivel under the autumn sun, their leaves yellowed and curled. Once-neatly trimmed vines droop under the weight of fruit clusters. In some areas, bulldozers plow through what were productive vineyards just months ago, ripping decades-old rootstock from the soil.
\n
The abandoned vineyards reveal growing pressures on an industry that has helped shape California's agricultural economy and international reputation.
\n
"It is sad. A lot of people's identity is tied up in their family farm, and there's a real challenge right now that is making it difficult," Stuart Spencer, executive director of the Lodi Winegrape Commission, told China Daily.
\n
"Most of them are family farms. They're getting out of the business," Spencer said. "They're either putting the property up for sale or looking to lease the ground to somebody else." His organization represents winegrowers and winemakers in Lodi, a major wine-producing region in California's Central Valley.
\n
Growers are in the midst of a harvest that started in early September and runs through late October. Despite favorable crop conditions and a good growing season, this year's harvest will be the smallest in decades because many grapes have gone unsold and won't be picked.
\n
Spencer described the situation as "a crisis" that has gripped the Central Valley for two years, with this year the worst yet. "It's widespread across California," he said.
\n
Over the past two years, an estimated 600,000 to 800,000 tons of California wine grapes — enough to fill 500 million to 650 million bottles — were left rotting on the vine because growers couldn't find buyers, according to Spencer.
\n
The crisis has hit independent growers particularly hard. Nearly 80 percent of California wine grapes are grown by independent farmers, and in the Central Valley, more than 90 percent of growers operate independently, Spencer said.
\n
Many independent growers have abandoned their vineyards rather than face a difficult choice: walk away and lose their investment or farm all year only to lose money at harvest, said Jeff Bitter, president of Allied Grape Growers.
\n
"It's a losing situation all the way around," Bitter told China Daily.
\n
"It has happened before, but this is the worst I've ever seen it, and I've been doing this for almost 30 years," said Bitter, a fourth-generation grape grower in Madera County.
\n
Both Bitter and Spencer point to multiple factors driving the crisis, including oversupply of wine, weakening consumer demand, and rising costs from inflation and labor shortages. But tariffs and trade policies have compounded these challenges, putting California producers at a disadvantage against heavily subsidized competitors in Europe.
\n
Trade disadvantages
\n
"The trade issues have affected demand for California wine globally," Spencer said. "Part of it is an anti-American attitude. That's what's going on in Canada. On the supply chain side of things, there are a lot of pressures."
\n
Earlier this year, the Trump administration imposed tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum shipped to the United States. In response, the Canadian government announced a 25 percent tariff in March on US wine, beer and other alcoholic beverages, prompting most Canadian distributors to pull American wines from shelves and cancel orders.
\n
After nearly six months of negotiations, Canada lifted the retaliatory tariff effective Sept 1, but most Canadian provinces have not returned American wines to store shelves, keeping California producers shut out of their largest export market.
\n
"Exports are horrible because of the tariffs," said Scott Meadows, CEO of Maxville Winery in Napa Valley, who has more than 20 years of experience in winemaking and management. "No one's exporting the volumes that we used to."
\n
"Canada was the top export market for all Napa wines, and that's been shut off completely thanks to the tariffs," Meadows said. "So we're not sending it all to Canada, and it's really hurting us."
\n
For California wineries, the damage from retaliatory tariffs represents only part of the fallout. The tariffs have driven up costs for key imports needed for wine production, including glass bottles largely sourced from China and Mexico, corks and barrels from Europe, and labels and packaging materials from around the world.
\n
"Tariffs are a real problem," Meadows told China Daily. "If we buy some equipment, for example, a forklift, one of the most important pieces of equipment that a winery has, the parts are mostly made in foreign countries."
\n
"When a forklift breaks down and you need a part, it used to cost maybe $300 to fix it. Now it might cost $600 or $800 because the tariffs have bumped up all those prices. So we've definitely felt that," he said.
\n
Tariffs have also driven up expenses for everything from tractors to production equipment throughout their estate. "So long term, that's going to hurt us. Because as we start to go through the harvest and figure out what our costs are at the end of the year, that's certainly going to impact our wine," said Meadows.
\n
There is always interest in the Chinese market, but trade-related issues have made it more challenging to develop that market, said Spencer.
\n
He pointed to tariffs imposed on US wines entering China as countermeasures against US tariffs on Chinese goods in 2018 during Trump's first term. The trade disputes led to a combined tax rate exceeding 90 percent for US wines.
\n
"I think everyone on the business side wants consistency, like developing an export market in China," he said. "We have vendors in Asia now looking at doing business there. But I think the opportunities have been less in recent years because of the up-and-down trade relations."
\n
Bitter urged the Trump administration to carefully administer tariff and trade policies to avoid exposing the US wine industry to global discrimination.
\n
The constant policy shifts have created an environment of uncertainty that makes long-term planning difficult, Bitter said.

The crisis has hit independent growers particularly hard. Nearly 80 percent of California wine grapes are grown by independent farmers, and in the Central Valley, more than 90 percent of growers operate independently, Spencer said.
\n
Many independent growers have abandoned their vineyards rather than face a difficult choice: walk away and lose their investment or farm all year only to lose money at harvest, said Jeff Bitter, president of Allied Grape Growers.
\n
"It's a losing situation all the way around," Bitter told China Daily.
\n
"It has happened before, but this is the worst I've ever seen it, and I've been doing this for almost 30 years," said Bitter, a fourth-generation grape grower in Madera County.
\n
Both Bitter and Spencer point to multiple factors driving the crisis, including oversupply of wine, weakening consumer demand, and rising costs from inflation and labor shortages. But tariffs and trade policies have compounded these challenges, putting California producers at a disadvantage against heavily subsidized competitors in Europe.
\n
Trade disadvantages
\n
"The trade issues have affected demand for California wine globally," Spencer said. "Part of it is an anti-American attitude. That's what's going on in Canada. On the supply chain side of things, there are a lot of pressures."
\n
Earlier this year, the Trump administration imposed tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum shipped to the United States. In response, the Canadian government announced a 25 percent tariff in March on US wine, beer and other alcoholic beverages, prompting most Canadian distributors to pull American wines from shelves and cancel orders.
\n
After nearly six months of negotiations, Canada lifted the retaliatory tariff effective Sept 1, but most Canadian provinces have not returned American wines to store shelves, keeping California producers shut out of their largest export market.
\n
"Exports are horrible because of the tariffs," said Scott Meadows, CEO of Maxville Winery in Napa Valley, who has more than 20 years of experience in winemaking and management. "No one's exporting the volumes that we used to."
\n
"Canada was the top export market for all Napa wines, and that's been shut off completely thanks to the tariffs," Meadows said. "So we're not sending it all to Canada, and it's really hurting us."
\n
For California wineries, the damage from retaliatory tariffs represents only part of the fallout. The tariffs have driven up costs for key imports needed for wine production, including glass bottles largely sourced from China and Mexico, corks and barrels from Europe, and labels and packaging materials from around the world.
\n
"Tariffs are a real problem," Meadows told China Daily. "If we buy some equipment, for example, a forklift, one of the most important pieces of equipment that a winery has, the parts are mostly made in foreign countries."
\n
"When a forklift breaks down and you need a part, it used to cost maybe $300 to fix it. Now it might cost $600 or $800 because the tariffs have bumped up all those prices. So we've definitely felt that," he said.
\n
Tariffs have also driven up expenses for everything from tractors to production equipment throughout their estate. "So long term, that's going to hurt us. Because as we start to go through the harvest and figure out what our costs are at the end of the year, that's certainly going to impact our wine," said Meadows.
\n
There is always interest in the Chinese market, but trade-related issues have made it more challenging to develop that market, said Spencer.
\n
He pointed to tariffs imposed on US wines entering China as countermeasures against US tariffs on Chinese goods in 2018 during Trump's first term. The trade disputes led to a combined tax rate exceeding 90 percent for US wines.
\n
"I think everyone on the business side wants consistency, like developing an export market in China," he said. "We have vendors in Asia now looking at doing business there. But I think the opportunities have been less in recent years because of the up-and-down trade relations."
\n
Bitter urged the Trump administration to carefully administer tariff and trade policies to avoid exposing the US wine industry to global discrimination.
\n
The constant policy shifts have created an environment of uncertainty that makes long-term planning difficult, Bitter said.

China has made substantial improvements in ensuring reliable electricity supply in recent years, leading to a significant drop in power outages across both urban and rural regions, said officials and industry experts.
\n
For the past 40 years, China's electricity reliability has been among the best globally. Last year, the power supply reliability rate reached around 99.97 percent in urban areas and 99.91 percent in rural areas, demonstrating a world-leading level, said Lu Junling, chief economist of the National Energy Administration.
\n
As technology advances and information breakthroughs like AI develop, the intelligence level of power equipment and technical standards have been continuously increasing, said Lu, adding that this provides new perspectives and tools for managing electricity reliability.
\n
The China Electricity Council said significant investment and technological progress have positioned China as the operator of the world's most advanced power grid.
\n
Figures released by the council reveal that national power supply reliability rose to 99.924 percent last year, a dramatic increase compared to that of the early 1990s, when urban households experienced an average of 96.54 hours of power outages each year.
\n
Lu said that with new energy resources progressively dominating both installed power generation capacity and overall electricity supply in the future, the large-scale integration of renewable energy into the grid network is expected to lead to significant changes in both electricity supply and consumption patterns.
\n
Concurrently, the recent widespread deployment of new equipment and technologies, while boosting production efficiency, also introduces new challenges, imposing elevated requirements on electricity reliability management, he said.
\n
State grid operators across the country have been stepping up efforts and investment to enhance its capacity to absorb distributed renewable energy.
\n
China Southern Power Grid, for example, vowed to continue increasing investment in rural grid construction. It has invested over 170 billion yuan ($23.68 billion) in rural grid networks during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), with 31.2 billion yuan allocated for this year.
\n
Investments will be further increased during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30) to improve the situation, it said.

Shanghai has set a goal of exporting 50,000 used cars annually by 2027, a move experts expect will boost the city's auto industry from both the supply and demand sides and further improve the integrity of the industrial chain.
\n
"Against the backdrop of a sluggish global economy, consumer demand for automobiles is becoming increasingly diverse. However, demand for used cars in overseas markets is growing, presenting opportunities for Chinese companies," said Sun Lijian, director of the Financial Research Center at Fudan University.
\n
"Better meeting the preferences of different income groups will support the healthier development of the auto sector," Sun said.
\n
On Sept 12, Shanghai unveiled a 13-point action plan to promote used car exports, setting a target of raising annual exports to 50,000 units by 2027, according to a notice issued by the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce on Sept 11.
\n
"Shanghai is moving to streamline used car circulation and boost exports by developing a full-chain international trade service platform," the notice said.
\n
The initiative aims to upgrade the city's auto sector and reinforce its role as a global trade hub. By 2027, Shanghai plans to foster three to five leading exporters, with annual exports estimated to reach 50,000 vehicles.
\n
The notice added that a comprehensive service platform for used car exports will be built, with greater support to expand export volume, new facilitation measures and enhanced export-related services.
\n
"China's used car exports are entering a golden period driven by both policy incentives and surging market demand," Luo Lei, vice-president of the China Automobile Dealers Association, was quoted as saying by Economic Daily during an industry conference.
\n
"With more than 400 million vehicles in operation, a mature supply chain and cost-effective models, China has a solid foundation for export growth," Luo said.
\n
Official figures show that China exported more than 400,000 used cars in 2024, reaching more than 160 countries and regions, with the business becoming a new force in driving auto consumption and industrial upgrading.
\n
At the same time, experts said the sector needs a coordinated development framework led by government, driven by enterprises and supported by industry associations. Building standardized, internationalized service systems is seen as key to overcoming barriers in overseas markets and shaping a more competitive global circulation network.
\n
"As China integrates into global production, the consolidation of homegrown technologies and domestic supply chains has created one of the world's most complete industrial systems," said Sun, adding that the sustained development of such a comprehensive chain depends on both new quality productive forces on the supply side and a unified national market on the demand side.
\n
"Shanghai's latest policy is an extension of nationwide efforts," Sun said.
\n
To further promote used car exports, in February 2024, the Ministry of Commerce and four ministerial departments jointly issued a notice to launch a used car export business infrastructure.
\n
While strictly ensuring quality and safety, the notice encourages the establishment of export bases offering functions such as display and trading, maintenance, inspection and certification, Customs clearance, logistics and financial services.
\n
The notice also supports automakers in strengthening international marketing networks and leveraging brand and channel advantages to improve after-sales services for Chinese vehicles abroad.
\n
Earlier, in 2019, the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Public Security and General Administration of Customs issued a notice supporting used car exports in regions with mature conditions, marking the start of pilot exports.
\n
As the world's largest country in terms of both vehicle ownership and consumption, China has made significant progress in used car exports over the past five years. Chinese used cars are now sold to more than 140 countries and regions, supporting both stable and high-quality foreign trade and domestic auto consumption upgrades, People's Daily reported.

\n
Apple CEO Tim Cook's unexpected appearance at Pop Mart's 10th anniversary showcase in China this week sparked both social media buzz and a stock rally.
\n
During his visit on Monday, Cook toured the "The Monsters" exhibition in Shanghai, met Pop Mart founder Wang Ning and artist Kasing Lung, and was gifted a custom Labubu figurine — a version of the brand's best-known character — clutching an iPhone. Videos and photos of Cook's meeting quickly went viral on social media, sending Pop Mart intraday shares up as much as 6 percent to HK$276.8 ($35.6) before paring gains to close at HK$263, with trading volume exceeding HK$4.4 billion.
\n
The company has reported record sales and a surge in demand for its collectibles across the globe. On Dewu App, a trendy online shopping platform, the Labubu third-generation series, released in April, has been purchased by 580,000 users, with more than 740,000 others listing it as "wanted". The hidden edition Labubu ID, initially priced at 99 yuan ($13.9), peaked at 4,523 yuan — a 45.7-fold increase — before falling back to around 664 yuan after restocks.
\n
Strong momentum was also seen in sales of its other intellectual properties such as Twinkle Twinkle and Skullpanda. Many figurines were sold out instantly upon release, driving robust resale premiums. Pop Mart's first-half 2025 financial report highlights its continued growth. Revenue from Labubu skyrocketed 6.7 times to 4.81 billion yuan, while Skullpanda brought in about 1.2 billion yuan, more than doubling from a year earlier.
\n
The rise of Pop Mart mirrors a wider wave of Chinese guochao (domestic trend) brands gaining global attention. In the first three quarters, China's exports of festive supplies, dolls and animal-shaped toys exceeded 50 billion yuan, reaching more than 200 economies, said Wang Jun, vice-minister of the General Administration of Customs.
\n
Travelers visiting China increasingly treat Labubu as must-buy souvenirs, and international fans have begun showcasing their collections online. China Open men's singles finalist Learner Tien from the United States, for instance, gave a public shoutout to friends who gifted him Labubu toys during a recent trip in China.
\n
Labubu has demonstrated strong resilience as an IP, said Tian Lan, analyst at Euromonitor International.
\n
"Its evolution from picture-book art to plush formats has been a major success, showing a brand that knows how to innovate without losing its core DNA."
\n
Pop Mart's IP strategy has evolved meaningfully in recent years. The company is transitioning from a blind-box seller to a vertically integrated IP incubator, where hits like Labubu and Twinkle Twinkle serve as both growth engines and proof of concept, according to Lan. Twinkle Twinkle, in particular, demonstrates that consistent IP investment can generate sustainable creative and financial returns.
\n
The company's growing ecosystem — spanning product, animation, retail experience, and licensing — suggests a scalable model, said Lan.
\n
"The key will be to maintain portfolio balance and cross-IP differentiation, ensuring that each property contributes to a coherent cultural universe rather than competing for short-term attention," Lan added.
\n
Speaking on fast-moving consumer taste in designer toys, Lan said it follows identifiable emotional and cultural patterns rather than pure randomness.
\n
"Brands that continuously listen, co-create with fans, and express evolving values can capture long-term loyalty even in short-term trend cycles," Lan said. "What matters is cultural sensitivity and agility, not just predictions. In that sense, the designer toy market remains less about chasing hype and more about building emotional equity over time."

People cycle through a forest of poplar trees at a park in Zhangye, Gansu province, on Sept 27.
\n
A view of the showroom at Dahon Technology (Shenzhen) Co Ltd in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, on Sept 8.
\n\n
Tina Bian, 31, joined China's growing community of folding-bike riders this summer when she purchased a Dahon P10 for 4,700 yuan ($658).
\n
"Folding bikes can fit in the trunk of my car, which really expands my riding routes and makes it easier to go anywhere," she said. "Dahon has good brand awareness and is more affordable than Brompton, a high-end British foldable city bike brand."
\n
She added that Dahon's wide retail network of physical stores has made the buying experience convenient — "you can visit and ride away directly".
\n
Bian now rides to nearby parks after work and explores scenic routes on weekends. "I also play 'bike delivery', which has gone viral online — it's really fun," she said.
\n
While "Dahon's folding mechanism isn't as smooth as Brompton's," she said, "the lower price makes it a fair trade-off".
\n
As cycling surges in popularity across China's cities, domestic brand Dahon has emerged as the go-to "affordable alternative" to Britain's high-end Brompton bikes — and now it's taking that momentum to the capital markets.
\n
On Sept 9, Dahon Technology (Shenzhen) Co Ltd, the company behind the Dahon brand, debuted on the Hong Kong stock exchange, marking a key milestone for the folding bicycle maker.
\n
Founded in California in 1982 by physicist David Hon, Dahon pioneered the modern folding bicycle and has since evolved into a global name in urban mobility, said the company. The company restructured as Dahon Tech in 2016, and now sees the Chinese market as its main engine of growth.
\n
Dahon's revenue surged from 254 million yuan in 2022 to 451 million yuan in 2024, while net profit rose from 31 million yuan to 52 million yuan over the same period. Gross margins have remained stable at around 33 percent, and net margins at about 11.6 percent. In the first four months of 2025, revenue reached 185 million yuan, up 47 percent year-on-year, while net profit climbed 73 percent to 22 million yuan.
\n
The company credits this rapid growth to the expanding mid-to-high-end folding bike segment in China and rising consumer interest in sustainable, flexible commuting solutions.

Its prospectus traces the recent turbulence in global cycling demand. The year 2020-21 triggered an outdoor sports boom that sent global bicycle sales soaring. But as inventories piled up, the market entered a correction phase in 2022-23, with folding bike shipments falling from 3.1 million to 2.65 million units. Demand rebounded strongly in 2024, with global folding bike sales recovering to 3.7 million units.
\n
According to China Insights Consultancy, although folding bikes remain a niche compared with road or mountain bikes, accounting for only about 5.3 percent of global bicycle sales in 2024, the segment is growing fast.
\n
Unlike road or mountain bikes, folding bicycles are designed for compactness and convenience — ideal for daily commuting and mixed transport systems. Dahon has rolled out more than 70 models spanning urban, sports, high-performance and electric folding bikes.
\n
The company also sees new potential beyond daily commuters.
\n
In July, Dahon launched its P18 Ultra racing-style model, priced at 5,798 yuan, featuring a drop-bar design and a cruising speed of 35 km/h. The company said the model "fits in the trunk, enabling seamless connection between urban and outdoor environments", signaling an effort to merge portability with performance and appeal to more advanced riders.
\n
Dahon's sales mix has shifted noticeably in recent years. Midrange models priced between 2,500 and 5,000 yuan now dominate, contributing 69.5 percent of revenue in 2024 — up from 50.6 percent in 2022. Entry-level models under 2,500 yuan have declined, while high-end models above 5,000 yuan continue to represent around 10 percent of sales.
\n
The company plans to open 50 directly operated stores, 80 in-store shops and 70 franchised outlets across the Chinese market this year. In addition to the expansion of offline stores, Dahon has aggressively upscaled online sales through platforms such as JD.com and Tmall. Its direct online sales jumped from just 14 million yuan in 2022 to nearly 100 million yuan in 2024 — a compound annual growth rate of over 160 percent. Online channels now account for more than 40 percent of total revenue.
\n
Still, challenges loom. Many bike retailers that rushed into the market during the 2020-21 cycling boom are now struggling with inventory overhang as the frenzy cools. Dahon warned that excessive dealer stock could pressure future sales and cash flow.
\n
CIC data show that Dahon commands a 26.3 percent share of China's folding bike retail volume and 36.5 percent of retail sales, alongside a 5.6 percent global market share. Its bestselling P8 model has long been among China's top folding bikes.
\n
The sector is among the rising segments of outdoor sports. According to Mintel China, outdoor cycling has a participation rate of 37 percent, and has been ranked No 6 among 22 sports surveyed overall.
\n
Outdoor sports entered a stable stage recently after explosive growth earlier, with riding and water sports seeing a slight surge last year, according to the report.
\n
China remains the world's largest bicycle manufacturer and exporter, though its domestic market is still dominated by international brands in the premium segment.

A view of the showroom at Dahon Technology (Shenzhen) Co Ltd in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, on Sept 8.
\n\n
Tina Bian, 31, joined China's growing community of folding-bike riders this summer when she purchased a Dahon P10 for 4,700 yuan ($658).
\n
"Folding bikes can fit in the trunk of my car, which really expands my riding routes and makes it easier to go anywhere," she said. "Dahon has good brand awareness and is more affordable than Brompton, a high-end British foldable city bike brand."
\n
She added that Dahon's wide retail network of physical stores has made the buying experience convenient — "you can visit and ride away directly".
\n
Bian now rides to nearby parks after work and explores scenic routes on weekends. "I also play 'bike delivery', which has gone viral online — it's really fun," she said.
\n
While "Dahon's folding mechanism isn't as smooth as Brompton's," she said, "the lower price makes it a fair trade-off".
\n
As cycling surges in popularity across China's cities, domestic brand Dahon has emerged as the go-to "affordable alternative" to Britain's high-end Brompton bikes — and now it's taking that momentum to the capital markets.
\n
On Sept 9, Dahon Technology (Shenzhen) Co Ltd, the company behind the Dahon brand, debuted on the Hong Kong stock exchange, marking a key milestone for the folding bicycle maker.
\n
Founded in California in 1982 by physicist David Hon, Dahon pioneered the modern folding bicycle and has since evolved into a global name in urban mobility, said the company. The company restructured as Dahon Tech in 2016, and now sees the Chinese market as its main engine of growth.
\n
Dahon's revenue surged from 254 million yuan in 2022 to 451 million yuan in 2024, while net profit rose from 31 million yuan to 52 million yuan over the same period. Gross margins have remained stable at around 33 percent, and net margins at about 11.6 percent. In the first four months of 2025, revenue reached 185 million yuan, up 47 percent year-on-year, while net profit climbed 73 percent to 22 million yuan.
\n
The company credits this rapid growth to the expanding mid-to-high-end folding bike segment in China and rising consumer interest in sustainable, flexible commuting solutions.

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam attempts to defend as Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs rebounds the ball during an NBA preseason game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, on Monday.
\n\n
Imagine this lineup: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama, all on the floor at the same time as teammates.
\n
MVPs. Scoring champions. NBA champions. Triple-double machines. Defensive wizards. International players, all together in one highly decorated, incredibly accomplished, flat-out-scary lineup, the likes of which probably has not been seen too many times in basketball history.
\n
The NBA seems on the brink of making it possible.
\n
Changes to the All-Star format are most certainly coming, once again, and the plan that the NBA has settled on is one that has players from the United States going up against players from the rest of the world in a tournament setting. Think Ryder Cup golf or 4 Nations Face-Off hockey, and it just so happens that this season's All-Star weekend at Inglewood, California, is smack in the middle of another national-pride sporting event — the 2026 Milano-Cortina Olympics.
\n
"I talk to a lot of fans, and All-Star Games for whatever reason take on particular interest around basketball," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said. "I think we should be able to create something that's fun, exciting, engaging. Not expecting guys to play the way they would in the finals necessarily, or even in a playoff game, but yet to go out, play hard, put on a good show for the fans."
\n
The plan, which isn't yet finalized, calls for a three-team tournament: two American teams and one international team, all with eight-man rosters. The reason: Roughly two-thirds of NBA players are from the US and one-third are not, which is why the NBA thinks it would be fair to give the US two-thirds of the roster spots.
\n
"Hopefully, it's going to be better," said Jokic, the Denver star.
\n
It has become almost an annual exercise for the NBA: fixing the All-Star Game. Silver and other league officials — and to be fair, some players as well — desperately want the product to be better and more competitive. They tried having captains like LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Antetokounmpo pick the teams for a few years, and not much changed. They tried going back to the standard Eastern Conference vs Western Conference format, and it wasn't great either. Having a final score of 211-186 in Indianapolis in 2024 was the last straw in many respects, so the NBA last year tried a mini-tournament on for size, and few people cared for it.
\n
Golden State's Stephen Curry was MVP of that All-Star event, a four-teams-of-eight competition that had a 41-25 final score in the title match-up and saw the final game stopped for about 20 minutes for a tribute to TNT and its run as a league broadcaster.
\n
"I honestly thought last year went great until it dragged on for a long time," Curry said. "We all know that All-Star has changed over the years, but there has to be some type of solution for keeping the players fresh and loose, and keeping the action going. Last year it came to a screeching halt. But whatever the format is, I know we're going to keep taking swings at the plate to figure it out, and that's what the league is supposed to do."
\n
International players have said they love the idea of a US vs The World concept. Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee star, has talked about it previously, and playfully said that the league should give him credit for the idea.
\n
"The NBA's going to take all the credit. But I love it, man," Antetokounmpo said.
\n
"I think it's going to be exciting for people to watch. I'm going to play hard. I've always been playing hard, but I think it's going to put a little bit more juice to the game. All players have ego. Nobody wants to be embarrassed. Guys will play harder because they don't want to become — I don't know how you say this — they don't want to become viral. I'm excited for this format."
\n
The league has been working on the plan for a few months, and Silver has said he hopes that it can be formally announced by the start of the season, which begins Oct 21.
\n
"The World vs US? We'll see how it goes. I think it's interesting," said Detroit's Cade Cunningham, who was a first-time All-Star last season. "Me, personally, I wanted to play in the East vs West game, but I think I will have my opportunity to do that one day. Playing for the US, I know we're going to be playing hard. I think it will be good."
\n
Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning MVP and scoring champion at NBA title holder Oklahoma City Thunder, knows the league wants a more competitive All-Star event. He isn't sure if the format is a reason why someone would play hard or not.
\n
Like everyone else, he's interested to see how it plays out.
\n
"Guys that make it are grown men, and they're going to compete if they want to, or not compete if they don't want to. And I think that's what it's going to come down to," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "So, the change in the format, it's good, it's fun. It keeps the fans engaged. It could be interesting. It's what the league is supposed to do. They do a great job of that. But, I think it's just going to come down to if the players want to play or not."

Seattle Mariners Jorge Polanco connects for a three-run homer off Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Louis Varland during the fifth inning in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Monday. The Mariners took a 2-0 series lead by routing the Blue Jays 10-3.
\n
TORONTO — Julio Rodriguez and Jorge Polanco hit three-run homers, Josh Naylor added a two-run drive and the Seattle Mariners took a 2-0 AL Championship Series lead by routing the Toronto Blue Jays 10-3 on Monday.
\n
Seattle, the only big league team never to host a World Series game, headed home for Wednesday's Game 3 needing two more wins in the best-of-seven series to end that drought.
\n
"I expect a lot of noise from the fans," Polanco said. "They will bring a lot of energy for us. We'll just keep competing."
\n
Toronto had just six hits, only one after the second inning, and had eight hits in the first two games. Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr was zero for three with a walk and is hitless in the series.
\n
Rodriguez homered for a 3-0 lead three batters in against rookie Trey Yesavage, a 22-year-old making just his fifth big league start.
\n
Nathan Lukes and Alejandro Kirk had RBI singles in the bottom half off Logan Gilbert, and Lukes' run-scoring single tied the score in the second.
\n
Polanco's three-run homer off Louis Varland put Seattle back ahead 6-3 in the fifth. J.P. Crawford added an RBI single in the sixth and Naylor had a two-run homer in the seventh against Braydon Fisher.
\n
Six of Polanco's first seven hits this postseason drove in runs. He had the game-ending single in the 15th inning of Friday's Division Series clincher against Detroit and went two for four with two RBIs in Seattle's 3-1 opening ALCS win, Polanco's two previous home runs this October both came off Detroit's Tarik Skubal, the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner.
\n
The roof was open on a breezy, 16 C day on the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday, but locals in the sellout crowd of 44,814 had little to celebrate.
\n
Seattle's bullpen has combined for nine scoreless innings in the series, allowing just one hit. Winner Eduard Bazardo, Carlos Vargas and Emerson Hancock each pitched two innings.
\n
Naylor, born in Mississauga, Ontario, fouled a ball off his right foot in the first inning, and looked uncomfortable in the batter's box in the fifth, prompting manager Dan Wilson to come out and check on him. With Miles Mastrobuoni getting ready to come into the game if needed, Naylor convinced Wilson to leave him in and homered in the seventh.
\n
Yesavage, who took the loss, gave up three runs and four hits in four-plus innings.
\n
He set a Blue Jays postseason record by striking out 11 Yankees in five-and-one-third hitless innings in ALDS Game 2, but had two swings and misses on his splitter, down from 11 against New York.
\n
Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander was scratched from the lineup because of a sore lower back. Davis Schneider replaced him and went zero for three with a walk.

The tiny African island nation of Cape Verde qualified for the World Cup for the first time on Monday after beating Eswatini 3-0.
\n
Cape Verde is the second smallest country to make it to the men's World Cup since the first tournament in 1930.
\n
Here's a look at the tiniest countries in World Cup history, based on their population:
\n
Iceland
\n
With a population of just over 350,000, Iceland became the smallest country to reach the World Cup when it qualified for the tournament in Russia in 2018.
\n
That was two years after the team famously eliminated England to reach the quarterfinals of the 2016 European Championship.
\n
In Russia, Iceland managed a draw against Argentina, but losses to Croatia and Nigeria placed it last in its World Cup group.
\n
Cape Verde
\n
The island nation off the coast of West Africa has about 525,000 inhabitants and is ranked 70th in the FIFA men's world rankings.
\n
Cape Verde earned a spot at the 2026 World Cup by finishing first in its African qualifying group.
\n
The country which won independence from Portugal 50 years ago has appeared at the Africa Cup of Nations four times, and reached the quarterfinals in 2013 and 2023.
\n
Of the countries that have qualified so far for next year's World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, it is by far the smallest.
\n
Paraguay
\n
The South American country had an estimated population of just under one million when it appeared at the inaugural World Cup in 1930.
\n
Paraguay was eliminated in the first round after losing to the United States and defeating Belgium.
\n
The Paraguayans will make their ninth World Cup appearance next year after grabbing the last of South America's six direct qualifying spots.
\n
Trinidad and Tobago
\n
The Caribbean country of Trinidad and Tobago won an international playoff to earn its first and only World Cup appearance at Germany 2006.
\n
With a population of 1.3 million, it was the smallest country in that tournament by some margin.
\n
Trinidad and Tobago salvaged a draw with Sweden, but lost against England and Paraguay to finish last in its group.
\n
It has not been back to the World Cup since.
\n
Northern Ireland
\n
Northern Ireland had an estimated 1.4 million inhabitants when it reached the 1958 World Cup.
\n
The team defeated what was then Czechoslovakia, lost to Argentina and drew with West Germany in the group stage. It was eliminated by France in the next round.
\n
Northern Ireland also played in the 1982 and 1986 World Cups.

President Xi Jinping announced on Monday a slew of measures, including China's donation of an additional $10 million to UN Women over the next five years, to support the global women's cause, as leaders and representatives from across the world gathered in Beijing to renew their collective pledge to promote women's development.
\n
Addressing the opening ceremony of the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women, Xi said that China will earmark a quota of $100 million in China's Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund for implementing development cooperation projects for women and girls in collaboration with international organizations.
\n
In addition, China will launch 1,000 "small and beautiful" livelihood programs with Chinese assistance that take women and girls as priority beneficiaries, he said.
\n
The two-day meeting is being held to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, which adopted the landmark Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a milestone document in promoting gender equality and women's empowerment.
\n
Over the past three decades, guided by the spirit of the Beijing World Conference on Women, the cause of women has been thriving around the world, with equality between men and women now a universal consensus of the international community.
\n
However, women's all-round development still faces complex challenges such as war and conflict and extreme poverty, as well as violence and discrimination.
\n
"Looking ahead, we should rededicate ourselves to the purpose of the Beijing World Conference on Women," Xi said, as he outlined a four-point proposal aimed at building greater consensus, broadening the paths forward, and taking more concrete actions to accelerate women's all-round development.
\n
He called for joint efforts to foster an enabling environment for women's growth, stressing that such development can only be achieved under the prerequisite of peace and tranquility.
\n
Citing statistics, Xi said that more than 600 million women and girls worldwide are still mired in war and conflict, while around 10 percent live in extreme poverty. "We need to enhance the protection of women and girls in regions struck by war, conflict, poverty or natural disaster, and support the vital role of women in preventing conflict and rebuilding their homes," he said.
\n
Xi also called for efforts to address global imbalances in women's development so that all women can share the benefits of economic globalization.
\n
"Modernization of the world should involve and benefit women," he said, highlighting the importance of promoting high-quality development for women through scientific and technological innovation.
\n
He further proposed jointly establishing a governance pattern to protect women's rights and interests and writing a new chapter in promoting global women's cooperation.
\n
China will set up a center dedicated to promoting global women's capacity-building, through which it will work with relevant countries and international organizations to cultivate more outstanding female professionals, Xi announced.
\n
Participants from various countries and international organizations welcomed the measures and proposals put forward by China, saying that the meeting comes at a pivotal moment and is expected to serve as a new turning point for advancing gender equality and women's empowerment worldwide.
\n
Icelandic President Halla Tomasdottir lauded China's achievements in lifting millions out of poverty and advancing gender equality and green energy, saying they demonstrate that "change is possible".
\n
In a world marked by uncertainty, conflict and accelerating climate breakdown, Tomasdottir said it is necessary to draw strength from the legacy of the Beijing World Conference on Women. "Gender balance is not a luxury, but the foundation for peace, the driver of innovation and the key to a livable world," she said.
\n
Monica Mutsvangwa, Zimbabwe's minister of women affairs, community, small and medium enterprises development, said Xi's participation in the meeting underscored his firm commitment to promoting gender equality and women's empowerment.
\n
"I come to China every year. China is not leaving anyone or any place behind in its development, and that is something we all admire," she said, adding that Zimbabwe hopes to learn from China's experience in supporting women in small and medium-sized enterprises.
\n
Roland Reiland, Luxembourg's ambassador to China, described the measures announced by Xi as "very important" and expressed hope that other countries would follow suit.
\n
"We still have a long way to go in advancing the cause of women and ensuring their fulfillment of rights," Reiland said, emphasizing the need to step up efforts to achieve one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.

Editor's note: The World Conference on China Studies opens on Tuesday, with about 230 guests from home and 200 from abroad attending the event. As scholars gather to share insights, this article delves into the rich tapestry of Sino-Western intellectual exchanges that have unfolded over centuries.
\n
"By what fatality, shameful maybe for the Western people, is it necessary to go to the far Orient to find a wise man who is simple, unostentatious, free from imposture, who taught men to live happily six hundred years before our vulgar era, at a time when the whole of the North was ignorant of the usage of letters, and when the Greeks were barely beginning to distinguish themselves by their wisdom? This man is Confucius …"
\n
This passage comes from Dictionnaire philosophique (Philosophical Dictionary), written by the French Enlightenment thinker Voltaire and published in 1764. What lay behind these words was the stark reality of his own age, against which he had long wielded his pen: a corrupt and oppressive Catholic Church allied with an absolutist monarchy, sustained by superstition and persecution, while the masses endured poverty, ignorance and injustice.
\n
According to Zhang Xiping, a leading Chinese scholar on Sino-European exchanges from the 16th century to the 19th century, Voltaire contrasted Confucian China — where a merit-based bureaucracy allowed avenues of social advancement — with his own France, where the church and nobility monopolized power, leaving ordinary people with little opportunity for upward mobility.
\n
"More importantly, he saw in Confucianism a rational, secular morality — ethics grounded in reason rather than divine revelation — offering men and rulers a path toward personal virtue and national prosperity without reliance on Christian dogma," said Zhang, noting that the French philosopher had referred to his personal study as the "Temple of Confucius" and himself, "a student of Confucius".
\n
Zhang, former director of the Center for Overseas China Studies of Beijing Foreign Studies University, is currently in Shanghai for the World Conference on China Studies, a gathering of scholars of both ancient and modern China sharing ideas and insights.
\n
"The word 'Sinology' comes from Latin and Greek roots. 'Sino' derives from the Latin 'Sinae', meaning 'China' or the 'Chinese', which in turn comes from the Greek 'Sinai' or 'Sinae', the term used by ancient Europeans for China — likely originating with the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) or the region known via the Silk Road. Thus, Sinology literally means the study of China," said Zhang.
\n
"Today, Sinology largely denotes the philological, text-focused study of historical China, whereas 'China Studies' embraces a broader, multidisciplinary examination of China, ancient and modern, although the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably."
\n
Journey to understanding
\n
Between Sinology and China Studies, the world has been striving to understand China for more than four centuries, beginning in the late 16th century when Jesuit missionaries — some of whom corresponded with Voltaire — first arrived.
\n
"Collectively, the Jesuit missionaries produced extensive works in classical Chinese, bringing Western mathematics, astronomy, and cartography to China, while their letters, travel accounts, and translations introduced Chinese language, culture, history, and art to the West, creating a remarkable two-way exchange of knowledge we are still seeking to revive today," Zhang said.
\n
Prominent among these works is Confucius Sinarum Philosophus (Confucius, the Chinese Philosopher), a 1687 Latin translation of Confucian texts compiled by four French Jesuit missionaries under the patronage of Louis XIV.
\n
In 1814, Jean-Pierre Abel-Remusat, a pioneering French Sinologist who studied Chinese texts and reports brought to Europe by Jesuit missionaries and other travelers, was appointed professor of Chinese at the College de France, becoming the first European to hold an academic chair dedicated entirely to China Studies.
\n
"Academic Sinologists increasingly took the lead from their missionary forebears, but one point remains: many missionaries, exemplified by the Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci, while seeking to spread the Catholic faith, showed profound respect for Chinese culture," said Zhang.
\n
Arriving in China in 1582, Ricci mastered classical Chinese, adopted Confucian dress and customs, and befriended scholars and officials through cultural sensitivity and mutual intellectual engagement.
\n
"These exchanges must be viewed in the context of the Age of Discovery," Zhang noted. "While European powers conquered and plundered across Africa, the Americas, and parts of Asia, China remained a rare exception — meeting the West through dialogue and cultural exchange. That contrast is deeply significant."
\n
Eurocentric approach
\n
But things were to change in the 19th century, when China came under the full weight of Western imperialism. Britain's victory in the First Opium War (1839-42) forced the Treaty of Nanjing, ceding Hong Kong and opening treaty ports — marking the start of the "Century of Humiliation".
\n
As the study of China in the West — and its scholars' perspectives — was greatly colored by China's decline during this time, admiration gave way to portrayals of the country as stagnant, despotic, and resistant to progress — a colonial framework known as "Orientalism", which, though later widely criticized, continues to exert subtle influence.
\n
One example is the German philosopher Friedrich Hegel, who, viewing Confucianism through his own Eurocentric and dialectical framework, concluded that it was not a true philosophy rooted in abstract, metaphysical thought, but merely a collection of moral maxims for creating a stable state and orderly social relationships.
\n
According to He Peizhong, honorary director and research fellow at the International China Studies Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, this Eurocentric approach has shaped China Studies for an extended period.
\n
"The term 'China Studies' was first used by American scholars, with figures like John King Fairbank institutionalizing it in US universities through a multidisciplinary approach that linked Chinese societal change to broader patterns of modernization and global interaction," said He, referring to the man Harvard University's Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies was named after.
\n
"Although Fairbank rejected the old view of China as an unchanging civilization, he advanced the 'Impact-Response Theory', which explained modern Chinese history primarily through the pressures and interventions of Western powers. Under this paradigm, contemporary China appears as a largely reactive civilization, with its reforms, institutions, and modernization efforts emerging in response to foreign challenges."
\n
For He and other critics, the theory underestimated Chinese agency, internal reforms and social dynamics.
\n
"Over the past half millennium, the world has continually studied China, driven by cultural curiosity, economic interests, political ambitions, and ideological conflicts. Yet in every instance, external agendas shaped and distorted its image, leaving no portrayal truly comprehensive or accurate," he observed.
\n
"For this reason, China must not only allow itself to be studied but also preserve and strengthen its own capacity to study itself. We must articulate our narrative while fostering genuine dialogue with international scholars through forums such as the present gathering."
\n
Reflecting on China's historical resilience, He said: "Reinvention is not a rupture, but a tradition itself. To remain relevant, China Studies must engage with this dynamic continuity."
\n
New way of thinking
\n
The New Confucianism that arose in the first half of the 20th century embodies this continuity, according to Zhang. Confronting modernization and cultural identity, Chinese intellectuals reinterpreted Confucian philosophy in dialogue with Western thought, portraying history as a continuous cultural logic and Confucian humanism, or "ren", as a universal principle that unites ethics with reason and aligns human action with the cosmic order.
\n
Some of them argue that the universe has a moral dimension, and by realizing our innate moral nature, we live in harmony with the ultimate reality of the world.
\n
In 1954, Joseph Needham, a British historian and Sinologist, published his monumental work Science and Civilization in China, challenging Eurocentric assumptions by tracing China's contributions to world science and technology, and helping Western audiences appreciate Chinese intellectual history on its own terms.
\n
In April 1778, the 83-year-old Voltaire met with Benjamin Franklin, one of the United States' Founding Fathers, during Franklin's visit to Paris. Two months later Voltaire passed away, while five years later the US would see its independence formally recognized under the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
\n
"Although the meeting was largely symbolic, representing the union of French Enlightenment thought with the American Revolution, Franklin, who saw himself as part of the Enlightenment tradition, likely had encountered Confucian ideas — particularly ethics without theology and rule by merit — through his reading of Voltaire and his engagement with the same intellectual circles," said Zhang.
\n
"Today, with China's rise as the world's second-largest economy and a global power, China Studies has long become a necessity rather than a matter of curiosity. Yet for those of us grounded in history, China — ancient or modern — should always be treated as a central subject of world study, for all the right reasons."

Media workers photograph the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts during a handover ceremony at the Hunan Museum in Changsha, Hunan province, on Monday. The manuscripts, dating back to the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), returned to China 79 years after they were smuggled out of the country, with their return resulting from cooperation between Chinese and the United States cultural institutions. The manuscripts will be permanently archived in the Hunan Museum.

Family members of foreign envoys to China try their hand at painting clay figures of Tu'er Ye, a unique deity depicted as a half-man, half-rabbit clay figure native to Beijing, in Beijing's Dongcheng district on Sunday. Over 300 attendees, including diplomats and representatives from international organizations, participated in the event.
\n
Beijing is committed to achieving high-level opening-up as it seeks to build itself into a top-tier, harmonious, and welcoming global city over the next five years, according to the city's Party chief, Yin Li.
\n
"The city will optimize its investment environment and services for foreign businesses, offering greater opportunities for collaboration," said Yin Li, the city's Party chief, emphasizing that diplomats are "witnesses and contributors" to Beijing's development. He made the remarks at a recent event for foreign diplomatic missions in China.
\n
Yin noted that in the first nine months of 2025, about 8,000 new foreign companies were established in the capital. To date, Beijing has hosted the regional headquarters of 260 multinational corporations.
\n
The city's GDP is projected to exceed 5 trillion yuan ($700 billion) for 2025, driven by high-quality productive forces, innovation, and continued openness to the world, Yin said.
\n
Echoing his remarks, Hussam Al Husseini, Jordan's ambassador to China, expressed appreciation for Beijing's ongoing efforts to enhance services and facilities that support diplomatic exchanges and activities.
\n
"We have observed continuous and progressive development across various sectors in Beijing — from infrastructure and services to the high-quality events it hosts, including trade fairs, political and cultural gatherings, forums, and international conferences," he said.
\n
The comments came after a city-organized visit for more than 300 foreign diplomats and representatives of international organizations from 110 countries. The group toured the Beijing Central Axis by bus and visited the renovated Longfu Temple.
\n
The Beijing Central Axis, a historic and cultural landmark spanning 7.8 kilometers through the city's heart, includes sites such as the Forbidden City, Tian'anmen Square, and the Temple of Heaven. In 2024, it was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, symbolizing the essence of ancient Chinese urban planning and symmetry.
\n
The Longfu Temple, originally built in 1452 and later rebuilt, reflects Beijing's commitment to cultural preservation and urban renewal. The site offered diplomats a glimpse of both the city's historical depth and modern vitality.
\n
The reception took place in a replica of the temple, where diplomats took photos and participated in traditional cultural activities such as cloisonne-making and painting clay figurines.
\n
Ambassador Al Husseini also praised the capital's vibrant mix of social, commercial, economic, and cultural events, adding that they "foster mutual relations and deepen understanding of Chinese history and culture — they help us appreciate the nation's past, present, and future."
\n
During the event, Yin also highlighted Beijing's advancements in artificial intelligence, humanoid robotics, and the rapid growth of its digital economy powered by cutting-edge technologies.
\n
Olexander Nechytaylo, the Ukrainian ambassador to China, described Beijing as a "cashless city", citing the widespread use of digital payment systems.
\n
He recalled his first dining experience in Beijing, where the restaurant manager had to "borrow cash" from a neighboring eatery in order to give him change after he paid in cash.

He recalled his first dining experience in Beijing, where the restaurant manager had to "borrow cash" from a neighboring eatery in order to give him change after he paid in cash.
Three transformative events in 1978 left an enduring mark on the nation, according to He Peizhong, a leading China Studies scholar.
\n
The first was the launch of the reform and opening-up drive; the second, Deng Xiaoping's articulation of the "practice is the sole criterion for testing truth" principle, he said.
\n
"But there was a third event — equally remarkable and profoundly influential — though far less known," he added. "That was the founding of the International China Studies Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences," said the 73-year-old, who serves as the center's honorary director.
\n
"The center marked our first systematic effort, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, to examine how the country-has been studied abroad — a tradition dating back to the 16th century and reaching a height during the Cold War, when geopolitics preoccupied global decision-makers," he continued.
\n
But why 1978? The Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), which had gravely disrupted the nation, had ended less than two years earlier, he pointed out
\n
"China stood at the edge of renewal — brimming with potential yet shadowed by historical skepticism and self-doubt, especially among its intellectuals. By turning our gaze outward to see how others had sought to understand us, we, in turn, became more self-aware and gained a clearer understanding of ourselves."
\n
A few months later, in February 1979, eight students from the United States arrived in Beijing via Tokyo — the first group allowed to study in China since 1949. Among them was Thomas Gold, now a retired sociology professor from the University of California, Berkeley.
\n
Studying modern Chinese literature at Fudan University in Shanghai, Gold stepped into his familiar territory of social studies when he started talking to people who congregated in the People's Square, not far from the city's famous Bund.
\n
"They were zhi qing," Gold said, citing a term for educated youths sent to the countryside for "re-education" during the Cultural Revolution. Thousands of them had returned to the cities, having endured years of hardship. Yet they remained "hopeful and ready to do whatever circumstances allowed, to contribute to their country", he said.
\n
Gold, who's in Shanghai for the World Conference on China Studies on Tuesday and Wednesday, said the most effective way to understand contemporary China is "to learn the language well enough to converse directly with Chinese people, to live in China for an extended period, to travel widely, and to experience a Chinese workplace — basically what we did back then".
\n
Those who started in the 1950s and 60s, including his mentor, the distinguished US sociologist and East Asian scholar Ezra Vogel, often had to conduct field research with Chinese people outside the mainland, mostly in Hong Kong, due to Cold War tensions.
\n
"When my father was able to go to the mainland in 1973, on an academic exchange following president Richard Nixon's historic visit to China, it was like finally meeting someone with whom you had been on the phone for years, someone you really want a relationship with," said David Vogel, son of Ezra Vogel, who was the director of the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University in the 1970s and 90s. In 2011, aged 81, Ezra Vogel published his definitive book Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China.
\n
"Chinese students and scholars should be familiar with how Westerners conduct research on contemporary China," said Gold. "Not everyone sees the world the same way, and even if we disagree, it is important to understand the world view of others and how it was shaped and maintained over time," he said.
\n
He Peizhong explained that it was precisely this realization that led many Chinese institutions of higher learning — most notably Beijing Foreign Studies University and East China Normal University — to establish research centers dedicated to China Studies beginning in the mid-1990s.
\n
"It's like holding up a mirror to oneself. Yet we gradually saw that this mirror — or the lens through which China was filtered by external assumptions and frameworks — could bend the image like a convex or concave, often resulting in a distorted portrayal of the country," said He.
\n
"That was when Chinese scholars became acutely aware of their own role in defining Sinology, or China Studies, a field long dominated by outsiders, from Jesuit missionaries to Western academics."
\n
However, that doesn't mean China Studies should be Sinocentric, added He, who sees "mutual learning" as the foundation of the field — the only way for the knowledge it generates to truly contribute to global development.
\n
"It's not a binary but a continuum — a process of mutual enrichment. While foreign research can reveal sources we might have overlooked and broaden our perspective, their direct engagement with China and its scholars helps bridge gaps that might otherwise solidify into stereotypes," He said.

Containers for the China-Europe Railway Express service are hoisted in Tongjiang, Heilongjiang province, on July 25. The station, near the China-Russia border, serves as a transfer hub for trains of different gauges in China and Russia.
\n
The 110,000th train of the China-Europe Railway Express service departs from Qingdao, Shandong province, in June.
\n
Trains carrying automobiles await departure in Chongqing in September.
\n
A forklift operator moves a container on the China-Europe Railway Express service in Ganzhou, Jiangxi province, in August.
\n
The multiple shock waves that hit global shipping in 2021 forced Shandong Linglong Tire, one of China's largest tire manufacturers and exporters, to reexamine its logistics.
\n
A solution was quickly found in the China-Europe freight train network, a vital trade artery connecting manufacturing centers in China with markets in Central Asia and Europe.
\n
"Sea transportation was so unstable," said Pan Wenfeng, head of Linglong's inland logistics department. "Prices skyrocketed and space was difficult to book. That gave us an opportunity to cooperate with the China-Europe Railway Express."
\n
What began as a stopgap measure has since matured into a long-term and stable partnership.
\n
"For overseas market expansion, sea transport is slow, with long delivery cycles that cannot ensure supply chain stability for our overseas production bases," Pan said.
\n
"For critical raw materials and equipment where time efficiency matters, we now choose the China-Europe freight train. The train offers speed, lower costs and customized services. By using the rail service, our key raw materials and machinery arrive swiftly at overseas plants. Transit times are 50 percent faster than sea transport, greatly improving cash flow, reducing logistics costs and enhancing our global competitiveness."
\n
Headquartered in Zhaoyuan in East China's Shandong province, Linglong has invested heavily abroad, with plants in Thailand and Serbia — the latter marking China's first tire factory in Europe.
\n
Around 10 percent of Linglong's exports move via China-Europe freight trains.
\n
Though sea freight still dominates its logistics, rail transport has become a strategic supplement, supporting the Belt and Road Initiative, boosting China's opening-up, and helping secure stable supply chains in an uncertain global environment.
\n
Decade of expansion
\n
From making just a handful of trips in 2011, the year of the network's launch, the China-Europe Railway Express has grown to handling 19,000 round trips in 2024, 10 percent up on the year prior, transporting over 2 million twenty-foot equivalent units, according to Xinhua News Agency.
\n
In total, as of July, it's estimated that the service had completed more than 110,000 round trips, carrying goods worth over $450 billion.
\n
The network has grown to cover nearly the entire Eurasian landmass. Inside China, three main routes — the western, central and eastern — attract cargo from different regions.
\n
Beyond China's borders, three corresponding corridors stretch into Europe. Recent years have seen successful trial operations of the southern corridor, opening new gateways to the continent. Close coordination with foreign railway companies has expanded and diversified these international routes, creating a transcontinental network that is efficient, extends in multiple directions, and connects land and sea transport.
\n
A total of 128 Chinese cities run freight trains to 229 cities in 26 European countries, and over 100 cities in 11 Asian countries. Customs procedures have also been streamlined. With the rollout of the "95306 System" digital platform, customs clearance that once took half a day now takes less than 30 minutes on average.
\n
There are 14 regional consolidation hubs inside China that channel goods into outbound trains, ensuring smoother distribution. Cargo from different regions is gathered at these hubs and organized before being shipped to Europe. Nearly nine out of 10 China-Europe freight trains are assembled and dispatched through these hubs nationwide.
\n
In the early years, there was a significant trade imbalance flowing east to west, with many empty containers on the return journey.
\n
To address this, China Railway Container Transport, a State-owned logistics operator, established subsidiaries in Kazakhstan, Germany and Russia to forge closer partnerships with local railways, ports and logistics companies.
\n
This deeper integration has gradually created a more balanced two-way flow, reducing empty runs and boosting overall efficiency.
\n
A growing number of European exports, ranging from machinery and pharmaceuticals to luxury goods, are now heading east on trains that once returned half-empty.
\n
This has contributed to lower costs for Chinese exporters and more reliable schedules, as the network no longer bears the inefficiencies of empty backhauls.
\n
Transportation hubs, such as Xiamen in Fujian province, have felt this transformation.
\n
"The China-Europe trains from Xiamen not only carry Chinese products abroad but bring back foreign goods into China," said Wu Wei, marketing manager at Xiamen International Logistics Port.
\n
In recent years, the logistics port has received Belgian chocolates, Belarusian beef jerky, Polish yogurt, and cosmetics such as face masks and eye creams.
\n
China and beyond
\n
In Shandong, the first cold-chain train departed from Jiaozhou in May 2021. Since, the specialized service for perishable goods has expanded, with regular trains running from Qingdao, Jinan and Zibo, carrying fresh vegetables, seafood and frozen products to European markets.
\n
"The growth has been transformative in the past decade," said Shang Mingzhu, a manager at the Jinan branch of China Railway Container Transport. "Cold-chain trains, designed to match Shandong's strengths in fresh produce and seafood, support Shandong products going global."
\n
Across inland hubs, from Xi'an in Shaanxi province to Chengdu in Sichuan province, local governments and logistics providers are leveraging the railway to connect their industries to global supply chains.
\n
For exporters of high-value goods, from electronics to auto parts, the railway has become a reliable bridge to European markets.
\n
European partners are equally enthusiastic. "The China-Europe Railway Express provides customers with stable and fast transportation services," said Alona Toprak, managing director of DB Cargo Eurasia, a subsidiary of Germany's Deutsche Bahn, specializing in cross-border rail logistics for China, Central Asia and Europe.
\n
"Many high-quality products are transported between Europe and China via the service. Now, with more frequent departures, our cooperation has expanded from traditional manufacturing to green energy, new energy vehicles and cross-border e-commerce, further facilitating consumer markets," she said.
\n
Chinese goods, including consumer electronics, home appliances and daily-use products, can reach Europe faster and at better prices. At the same time, specialty products from Europe and other parts of Asia, such as Spanish wine, Dutch cheese, Polish apples, Thai durian and Laotian bananas, are increasingly available to Chinese consumers. This has created bigger markets and improved people's daily lives along the route.
\n
The railway's rapid growth has also boosted industry, trade and investment. Railways, freight companies and logistics providers along the route are earning more stable income, while local people have gained jobs. Major cities served by the trains, including Lodz in Poland, Duisburg in Germany, and Madrid in Spain, have modernized their infrastructure, helping related industries grow quickly.
\n
In June, the 110,000th train departed from Qingdao, Shandong province, carrying 55 containers of LCD displays and refrigerators worth 20 million yuan ($2.75 million) on a three-week journey to Moscow.
\n
For Gao Yitian, head of the Jiaozhou branch of Jinan Railway Logistics Center, the milestone was another ticked off on his 25-year career in the railway industry. Gao began handling international trains in 2016, when services were still in their infancy.
\n
"At the start, we were unfamiliar with the processes. Customs checks and documentation were slow. Sometimes we couldn't even gather enough cargo for one train in two weeks," Gao said.
\n
"Now, the systems are optimized, efficiency has soared and trains depart daily.
\n
"In 2016, cargo mainly consisted of clothing and footwear. Today, shipments range from home appliances to high-end manufacturing equipment. The trains now run at 120 kilometers per hour, up from 80 km/h a decade ago," he said.
\n
Innovation and growth
\n
A recent development has been the introduction of set-scheduled China-Europe freight trains. A total of 17 set-scheduled trains run a week, with transit times cut by more than 30 percent compared with regular China-Europe freight train services. Unlike regular cargo carriers, the trains adhere to a set schedule along the entire route, further reducing transport time and also allowing customers to accurately calculate journey times between cities.
\n
Beyond bulk goods and consumer staples, specialized services cater to cross-border e-commerce, cold-chain food, postal shipments and automobiles. The range of goods has broadened to over 50 categories and 50,000 products, with three types of goods in particular — auto parts, machinery and electronics — making up more than 60 percent of exports last year.
\n
New industries are also benefiting from the China-Europe Railway Express. Rail operators have addressed safety challenges in transporting new energy vehicles, lithium-ion batteries and solar panels, allowing these high-value exports to reach global markets more efficiently and reliably.
\n
A China-Europe service center and a dedicated online portal offer one-stop platforms for contracts, customs, insurance, cargo tracking and smart containers with real-time monitoring. Overseas, 131 container depots in 17 countries provide convenient pickup and return options across most rail-linked cities.

At the opening of the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women in Beijing on Monday, President Xi Jinping reaffirmed China's firm commitment to promoting gender equality and women's empowerment — not only within its own borders but across the world, especially among developing nations. As Xi noted, women play an important role in creating, promoting and carrying forward human civilization, and the international community has a shared responsibility to advance the cause of women.
\n
Thirty years after the landmark 1995 Beijing World Conference on Women, Xi's speech offered both a review of the global progress of the women's cause and a blueprint for the next stage. It reflected how far China has come since that historic meeting — and how much further it is prepared to go in partnership with the world to accelerate the comprehensive development of women.
\n
Indeed, China is not only a sayer but, more importantly, a doer. The white paper titled "China's Achievements in Women's Well-Rounded Development in the New Era", released by the State Council Information Office ahead of the meeting, details the remarkable progress the nation has made.
\n
Over the past decade, the sense of fulfillment, happiness and security among Chinese women has reached an unprecedented level. China has built an institutional system of laws, regulations and policies to help combat gender-related violence and discrimination, ensure equal access to education and health services, and promote women's participation in all sectors of life.
\n
Riding the wave of the digital economy, "she power" has become a vibrant new force: more than half of China's internet entrepreneurs are women, one-third of the digital trade and livestreaming workforce are female, and in 2024 alone, over 14,000 women were certified as AI trainers.
\n
China's experience demonstrates that promoting gender equality must be integrated into socioeconomic development. True fairness lies not only in outcomes but also in procedures — in creating an enabling environment where women have equal opportunities to pursue their dreams and shape their own futures. That is also an important attribute of China's people-centered development.
\n
At the global level, China has proved to be a steadfast partner. Over the past years, working closely with UN agencies, it has expanded its cooperation network to more than 140 countries and 420 women's organizations and institutions. China has also invested over $40 million in women's empowerment projects across 20-plus countries, trained more than 200,000 women from over 180 countries and regions, and provided employment support to women in more than 100 countries. It has advanced women's participation in peacekeeping, disaster relief and global governance, while incorporating gender cooperation into the Belt and Road Initiative and South-South cooperation frameworks.
\n
China's new commitments at the Beijing meeting take these efforts to an even higher level. In the next five years, China will donate another $10 million to UN Women; earmark a quota of $100 million in China's Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund for implementing development cooperation projects for women and girls in collaboration with international organizations; launch 1,000 "small and beautiful" livelihood programs with Chinese assistance that take women and girls as priority beneficiaries; invite 50,000 women to China for exchange and training programs; and establish a Global Center for Women's Capacity Building, which is aimed at conducting capacity building and other development cooperation with relevant countries and international organizations to train more female talent.
\n
Equally important are Xi's four proposals to advance women's development worldwide, namely: Countries should jointly foster an enabling environment for women's growth and development; cultivate powerful momentum for the high-quality development of the women's cause; develop governance frameworks to protect women's rights and interests; and write a new chapter in promoting global cooperation on women.
\n
These are not only a summary of past experience but a road map for the future — one that calls for action tailored to national conditions. Promoting women's development is a collective endeavor that requires all stakeholders to move from vision to implementation.
\n
China's practice has shown that the socialist path with Chinese characteristics toward women's empowerment is full of vitality and unique strengths. It offers valuable reference for the world: Development must be inclusive, opportunity must be equal, and fairness in process is the foundation for fairness in results. In the new era, China stands ready to work hand in hand with the international community to create a better world for all women — and through them, for all humanity.

Indeed, China is not only a sayer but, more importantly, a doer. The white paper titled "China's Achievements in Women's Well-Rounded Development in the New Era", released by the State Council Information Office ahead of the meeting, details the remarkable progress the nation has made.
\n
Over the past decade, the sense of fulfillment, happiness and security among Chinese women has reached an unprecedented level. China has built an institutional system of laws, regulations and policies to help combat gender-related violence and discrimination, ensure equal access to education and health services, and promote women's participation in all sectors of life.
\n
Riding the wave of the digital economy, "she power" has become a vibrant new force: more than half of China's internet entrepreneurs are women, one-third of the digital trade and livestreaming workforce are female, and in 2024 alone, over 14,000 women were certified as AI trainers.
\n
China's experience demonstrates that promoting gender equality must be integrated into socioeconomic development. True fairness lies not only in outcomes but also in procedures — in creating an enabling environment where women have equal opportunities to pursue their dreams and shape their own futures. That is also an important attribute of China's people-centered development.
\n
At the global level, China has proved to be a steadfast partner. Over the past years, working closely with UN agencies, it has expanded its cooperation network to more than 140 countries and 420 women's organizations and institutions. China has also invested over $40 million in women's empowerment projects across 20-plus countries, trained more than 200,000 women from over 180 countries and regions, and provided employment support to women in more than 100 countries. It has advanced women's participation in peacekeeping, disaster relief and global governance, while incorporating gender cooperation into the Belt and Road Initiative and South-South cooperation frameworks.
\n
China's new commitments at the Beijing meeting take these efforts to an even higher level. In the next five years, China will donate another $10 million to UN Women; earmark a quota of $100 million in China's Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund for implementing development cooperation projects for women and girls in collaboration with international organizations; launch 1,000 "small and beautiful" livelihood programs with Chinese assistance that take women and girls as priority beneficiaries; invite 50,000 women to China for exchange and training programs; and establish a Global Center for Women's Capacity Building, which is aimed at conducting capacity building and other development cooperation with relevant countries and international organizations to train more female talent.
\n
Equally important are Xi's four proposals to advance women's development worldwide, namely: Countries should jointly foster an enabling environment for women's growth and development; cultivate powerful momentum for the high-quality development of the women's cause; develop governance frameworks to protect women's rights and interests; and write a new chapter in promoting global cooperation on women.
\n
These are not only a summary of past experience but a road map for the future — one that calls for action tailored to national conditions. Promoting women's development is a collective endeavor that requires all stakeholders to move from vision to implementation.
\n
China's practice has shown that the socialist path with Chinese characteristics toward women's empowerment is full of vitality and unique strengths. It offers valuable reference for the world: Development must be inclusive, opportunity must be equal, and fairness in process is the foundation for fairness in results. In the new era, China stands ready to work hand in hand with the international community to create a better world for all women — and through them, for all humanity.
Editor's note: The second World Conference on China Studies convenes in Shanghai from Monday to Wednesday. Zhang Xiping, professor of Beijing Foreign Studies University, told China News Service that it is necessary to explain the global significance of China studies. Below are excerpts from the interview. The views don't necessarily represent those of China Daily.
\n
Sinology is essentially part of Oriental studies, which also includes the study of other ancient civilizations such as Egypt and India. Sinology has helped enhance the global understanding of China, while also making the country aware of its indigenous knowledge.
\n
There are three different types of scholars involved in China studies. There are foreign scholars of China, Chinese scholars who study the country's history and contemporary issues and scholars specifically focused on overseas China studies.
\n
Foreign Sinologists have certain advantages. Many foreign scholars possess multilingual abilities, which give them an edge while studying China's relationships with its neighboring countries. These scholars provide diverse perspectives on China's regional relations, offering valuable insights for domestic research in China.
\n
However, Sinology also has inherent limitations. Researchers in this field often cannot completely detach themselves from their own cultural perspectives, leading to interpretations of Chinese civilization that, while often in agreement with the native Chinese understanding, also have differing explanations. This necessitates a dialogue rather than a confrontation between the different perspectives.
\n
Their communication is crucial because it provides a global perspective for understanding how other civilizations perceive China and contributes to building China's independent knowledge system.
\n
However, this interaction needs to be further enhanced. Chinese scholars need to strengthen their understanding of Western traditions and the evolution of Sinology to better grasp the logic behind China studies in Western countries. They should engage with Western Sinologists and increase their interaction with scholars from countries of the Global South, paying attention to their civilization traits and unique perspectives on China.
\n
It is also important for domestic and overseas scholars to review China's history. The interaction between China and the West from the 16th to the 18th century was one of the rare times in history when two major civilizations engaged in mutual learning, which greatly advanced the development of the economies and learning of both societies. This shows that civilizational exchange can transcend conflict, which in turn can help ease Western anxieties over China's rise and reopen equal dialogues today.
\n
For a long time, narratives of Sino-Western relations have primarily focused on the unequal relationships after 1840. If we restore the complete historical context, it will allow the West to acknowledge the times when it learned from China and enable China to objectively view its own contributions and challenges.
\n
China's rise signifies global institutional changes. Therefore, moving beyond a century of Western admiration and rebuilding China's independent knowledge system becomes all the more crucial. Looking back at history can help Chinese and foreign scholars understand the trajectory of Chinese civilization.
\n
The connection between world China studies and Sinology is not a matter of simple integration. Rather, it is built on the premise of respecting the historical traditions of Sinology and ensuring equal dialogue. This approach absorbs the achievements and strengths of Sinology to create a research system that covers both ancient and modern China and global perspectives.
\n
World China studies not only enable the world to better understand China, but also allow China to refine itself through the examination of other civilizations, promoting deeper global research and civilizational exchange.

When I first walked into offices in Beijing more than a decade ago, I noticed something quite unique. Meetings concluded in half the expected time, and the receptions were much more basic than the lavish banquets I had heard of.
\n
Initially, I thought these were just small modifications in etiquette or work culture. But the more time I spent in China, the more I realized that these seemingly small changes indicated something much deeper. They were the tangible effects of the eight-point decision on improving Party and government conduct, which the Communist Party of China Central Committee unveiled in 2012.
\n
The eight-point decision was put forward to eradicate extravagance, formalism, corruption and bureaucratism in the Party ranks. In the more than 10 years since the implementation of the decision, the results are more than evident. This shows the eight-point decision is not just a set of new rules; it is a cultural shift in governance. Officials today are more easily accessible and pragmatic, and public funds are being used with much more care.
\n
During my visit, I noticed that the atmosphere had changed, with less formalism, fewer empty speeches, and simpler ceremonies than before. What I saw was a new sense of discipline and responsibility. My interactions with local authorities and institution officials focused entirely on work, not on appearances.
\n
There is a deep logic behind these measures to improve governance. The CPC has repeatedly stressed the need for "self-correction", acknowledging that a ruling party cannot depend solely on external checks and balances. The eight-point decision is a part of this continuous self-correction, closely associated with the broader anti-corruption campaigns and institutional reforms. Together, they ensure power is exercised for the right causes and the Party remains responsive to society.
\n
I also saw the wider impact of the decision on Chinese society. People were quick to notice the difference. Less expensive banquets meant more resources available to meet the people's needs, and a simpler, more practical approach to governance has boosted the trust between the people and their representatives. I often heard locals talk about how these changes made the government appear more trustworthy, serious and attentive to people's problems. What impressed me most was that people agreed that their leaders were focusing on real problems.
\n
In contrast to my experience elsewhere, I saw China turning a new leaf in people-centered governance. In some political systems, anti-corruption measures often fade away after a short campaign or become a mere show in the public's eyes.
\n
While in other countries, formalism and bureaucratism are accepted as normal but lead to a serious waste of resources and weaken people's trust in the government, in China the eight-point decision signalled the Party's firm resolve to reform the governance system and discipline the officials. For a party like the CPC which has been governing a country with a huge population for 76 years, eradicating these problems is critical because they are not just peripheral issues but existential concerns. If officials spend too much time on formalism, the government would lose efficacy and the people's trust. By taking measures to eradicate these problems, the Party will only strengthen its ability to govern the country.
\n
What during my first visit to China appeared to be small things, such as shorter meetings and modest receptions, have now become more significant. They demonstrate the Party's ability to evolve, to improve itself, and to stay close to the people it serves.
\n
As China progresses through the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) and prepares to implement the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), the governance challenges will become more complicated. To address those changes, China will need to advance Chinese modernization with more social equity, overcome global uncertainties, and expedite domestic reforms.
\n
While witnessing these changes, I was reminded of the fact that true governance is not about appearances but about adaptability, discipline and credibility. The eight-point decision is a classic example of how reform, when pursued with determination, can improve governance and benefit society.

Charlene Fontaine, executive director of the Flying Tigers 69th Depot Repair Squadron Association, holds a 1945 photograph of her father, Stewart Fontaine, in the cockpit of a B-29 bomber.
\n
Inside a wooden box that Stewart Fontaine brought home from China 80 years ago lay treasures that shaped not just his life but his daughter's mission decades later.
\n
Among them were two silk scarves hand-embroidered with the Flying Tigers emblem. One now rests with him in his grave, while the other adorns his daughter's shoulders at every memorial service for veterans' reunions.
\n
For Charlene Fontaine, preserving her father's legacy has become a life's mission.
\n
Now executive director of the Flying Tigers 69th Depot Repair Squadron Association, Charlene Fontaine hopes the bond forged between American and Chinese people during those difficult times could continue to inspire new generations.
\n
Stewart Fontaine arrived in China in 1943 as part of the ground crew supporting the legendary Flying Tigers operations. Before the war, he had worked for the company Curtiss-Wright as an engineer.
\n
"My dad had a Chinese coworker whom he greatly admired," Charlene Fontaine recalled. "This young man was incredibly smart, and the two of them bonded over their shared talent for fixing things.
\n
"What one didn't know, the other would teach, and they learned from each other constantly. They also exchanged stories about their cultures. The young man shared food from his family and welcomed my dad into that part of his life."
\n
For a young man who came from a family of eight and knew what it meant to go without, this connection provided a sense of home in a foreign land.
\n
"Dad truly appreciated that. It reminded him of home," Charlene Fontaine told China Daily. "That sense of continuity and connection meant a lot to him during his time in China, especially while working closely with the Chinese people."
\n
Stewart Fontaine understood poverty. His family back in the United States was not wealthy, and he knew what hardship looked like. But nothing prepared him for what he would witness in wartime China.
\n
The Chinese people's sufferings caused by the constant bombings struck him deeply. "They lost everything: their homes, their loved ones. Yet they persevered," Charlene Fontaine said.
\n
"They worked on the Burma Road, in the factories, on the airstrips. They did everything that was asked of them. Dad said their resilience and tenacity were phenomenal. That's what he admired most."
\n
Even as war raged around them, Stewart Fontaine found himself captivated by China's natural splendor. Traveling along the Yangtze River to service planes at different air bases, he would speak years later about the breathtaking landscape — the rivers, rolling mountains and lakes that reminded him of home yet were unlike anything he had ever seen.
\n
When the monsoon rain came, the dry, dusty roads transformed into thick mud, creating major problems for vehicles and aircraft alike. The ground crews had to improvise constantly. They called the experience "mud, sweat and gears".
\n
But amid the hardship, Stewart Fontaine witnessed something that would stay with him for the rest of his life: the extraordinary determination of ordinary people.
\n
"He saw mothers with babies on their hips working to help build runways, doing whatever they could to make sure things were safe and operational," Charlene Fontaine said.
\n
"He said it taught them all deep respect and compassion."
\n
After the war, Stewart Fontaine returned home in 1945. He resumed his work at Curtiss-Wright, then moved to other companies, and eventually joined Ford Motor Company.
\n
While at Ford, he completed his college degree in engineering, worked his way up through the ranks, and ultimately became a plant manager, a position he held until his retirement.
\n
But the lessons he learned in China never left him. They shaped how he raised his children and what values he passed down.
\n
Value of peace
\n
"Dad used to say that we went to war because people were dying, people were hungry and starving, and they were being mistreated," Charlene Fontaine said. "Their freedoms had been taken away, and we wanted to help restore their lives and bring peace.
\n
"He often told me, 'I went there so that none of my children or future grandchildren would ever have to go to war.' He felt very strongly about that. He didn't want any of us to join the military. Instead, he wanted us to serve in other ways."
\n
When Charlene Fontaine was 15, her father encouraged her to volunteer at a veterans hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, to understand the true cost of war.
\n
"I continued every summer for four years until I graduated from high school. I wanted to help, and I wanted to learn.
\n
"Dad had told me, 'If you're going to be involved, you need to understand what war is really about from the other side.' Beyond the battlefield, he wanted me to see the lasting suffering: men who had lost limbs, veterans who couldn't concentrate or speak because of psychological trauma. In that hospital, I saw everything from A to Z."
\n
Those experiences at a young age gave her a profound understanding that would guide her life's work. "That's why, now more than ever, I believe in maintaining our friendships and honoring the connections forged 80 years ago," she said.
\n
Years later, as an international business consultant in the early 2000s, Charlene Fontaine found herself in China on a business trip with an unexpected day off. Wearing a polo shirt with the Flying Tigers logo, she joined a tour arranged by her client that took her to several villages.
\n
What happened next would set the course for the next 20 years of her life.
\n
"I truly enjoyed the experience, but I kept hearing people say, 'Xie Xie, baba,'" she recalled.
\n
"I didn't understand what they meant, so I asked the tour guide. He looked at my shirt and asked, 'Was your father a Flying Tiger?' I said, 'Yes, he was part of the ground crew.' The guide replied, 'That's what they're saying. They want you to thank your father.'"
\n
The moment was overwhelming. Village after village, people approached her with gratitude for what her father and his fellow servicemen had done.
\n
That night, back at her hotel, Charlene Fontaine sat down and wrote an email to about 30 Flying Tigers veterans who were still in touch at the time. Their concern, she knew, had always been whether their service would be remembered.
\n
"So I wrote in bold letters: 'You will never be forgotten.'"
\n
Mission of education
\n
From that moment, Charlene Fontaine understood her mission. She began organizing trips and sharing her experiences with other Flying Tigers families.
\n
"I kept telling our board members and everyone traveling with us: You will be humbled. You will cry. You won't know what to do with the depth of emotion you'll feel, because the Chinese people honor us. They support us. They want us to know how deeply grateful they are for what our fathers did," she said.
\n
That experience inspired her to establish the 69th Depot Repair Squadron Association, an organization dedicated to preserving the legacy of all Flying Tigers, including the American Volunteer Group, the 14th Air Force and legacy squadrons.
\n
"The Chinese people are committed to carrying forward the legacy of our fathers," she said.
\n
"Meanwhile, in America, we need to wake people up. This history isn't being taught in our schools. That's why one of our organization's missions is education. We're available to speak anywhere because we want the younger generation to understand. It's so important."
\n
Charlene Fontaine also serves on the board of the General Chennault Foundation and works with various organizations to preserve and promote the Flying Tigers legacy.
\n
This year the foundation announced that the Chennault 69th DRS Scholarship is now accepting applications. It is designed to support individuals committed to carrying forward the legacy of General Claire Chennault and the Flying Tigers.
\n
"Our fathers dreamed of peace. They wanted future generations to have education, meaningful careers, the ability to support their families and to live good lives," Charlene Fontaine said. "Today we stand on the foundation of those dreams."

Italy's governing party the Brothers of Italy has tabled legislation to ban the burqa and niqab in public areas, part of a bill targeting what it calls Islam-linked "cultural separatism".
\n
The measure, presented to parliament by lawmakers from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's party, would bar face-covering garments in all public places, including schools, universities, shops and offices nationwide, newspaper Politico reported.
\n
The burqa is a head-to-toe covering with a mesh panel over the eyes. The niqab is a face veil that leaves the eye area visible. Breaches of the new rules would carry fines of 300 euros ($350) to 3,000 euros.
\n
The bill is aimed at combating "religious radicalization and religiously motivated hatred", its introductory text says.
\n
The proposal also aims to add criminal penalties for virginity testing, and toughen opposition to forced marriages by making religious coercion prosecutable. It also requires members of religious groups without formal agreements with the state to disclose all funding, with donations barred from entities deemed security threats.
\n
France became the first European state to enact a blanket public ban on the burqa in 2011. Since then, the roster has grown markedly, with more than 20 countries worldwide, including Austria, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Tunisia and Turkiye, adopting some version of a public ban on the burqa and other full-face veils.
\n
The European Court of Human Rights has repeatedly upheld such measures, including in 2017 when it backed Belgium's ban, saying states may restrict these garments to safeguard "living together" in society.
\n
Parts of Italy already enforce curbs, with Lombardy in the north barring people in late 2015 from entering public buildings and hospitals wearing face coverings.
\n
"Religious freedom is sacred, but it must be exercised in the open, in full respect of our constitution and the principles of the Italian state," the lawmaker Andrea Delmastro, one of the bill's initiators, said. "We have taken inspiration for this law from staunchly secular France, with the deep conviction that no foreign funding should ever undermine our sovereignty or our civilization."
\n
Sara Kelany, head of immigration for Brothers of Italy, said: "It is a bill that will essentially deal with regulating the funding of mosques, and with preventing and banning the use of the full-face veil. It also emphasizes the legislation against forced marriages. In Italy we apply our laws which are based on a specific set of values."
\n
In June, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer dismissed calls from the party Reform UK for a burqa ban in Britain.
\n
The Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says the burqa is "anti-British", and he has called for a nationwide debate on the issue.

The long-standing issue of political funding has weakened grassroots support for Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, forced its coalition partner Komeito to quit, and undermined the party's traditional mechanisms for holding power, analysts say.
\n
The Komeito leader Tetsuo Saito cited the LDP's "insufficient" response to the political funding scandal when he announced on Friday that his party would end its 26-year alliance with the LDP. The breakup deals a major blow to LDP President Sanae Takaichi and could leave Japanese politics shrouded in uncertainty, analysts said.
\n
Shigeaki Koga, a policy analyst and former official at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, said the LDP has long relied on corporate donations, making real changes difficult.
\n
Pursuing reforms would weaken the party's ability to mobilize voters and secure funding, which is why no one has dared to tackle the issue at its root for many years, Koga said.
\n
In the past, even with a limited number of supporters, the LDP managed to maintain its position as the country's largest party and its parliamentary majority by effectively consolidating those votes, he said.
\n
"But that model is now becoming unsustainable," he said, adding that the party's support base has significantly weakened in recent years, with its traditional voter groups gradually eroding.
\n
Following Takaichi's election on Oct 4, her decision to appoint lawmakers implicated in the scandal — including Koichi Hagiuda as LDP acting secretary-general — has further deepened mistrust within Komeito.
\n
Komeito's exit from the ruling coalition has made the appointment of Japan's next prime minister more uncertain, with the vote originally scheduled for Wednesday now postponed to at least Oct 20.
\n
"This development will have a major impact on the selection of Japan's next prime minister," said Hiroshi Shiratori, a political science professor at Hosei University in Tokyo.
\n
It is "almost impossible" for the LDP to secure a new coalition partner before Oct 20, Shiratori said. "Currently, the party is in direct competition with most opposition parties across nearly all constituencies."
\n
Even if Takaichi managed to narrowly win, she would probably lead only a minority coalition cabinet with an unstable governing base, leaving the policy agenda vulnerable to opposition influence, he said.
\n
"This could result in a lack of clear direction, policy drift and a state of political aimlessness in Japan."
\n
The way out of this predicament, Shiratori said, would be for opposition parties to unite behind a single candidate who can control policymaking and ensure more coherent, strategically focused governance.
\n
Parliamentary system
\n
Under Japan's parliamentary system, both houses of the Diet vote to choose the prime minister. If the two chambers select different candidates, the decision of the lower house prevails.
\n
A candidate who obtains a majority in the first round is immediately appointed prime minister. If no one secures a majority, a runoff is held between the top two contenders, and the one with the higher vote count is appointed, even without a majority.
\n
The LDP now has 196 of the 465 seats in the House of Representatives, and Komeito has 24. In the upper house, the LDP has 100 of 248 seats, and Komeito has 21.
\n
The opposition camp, comprising the center-left Constitutional Democratic Party, the center-right Democratic Party for the People, and the right-leaning Japan Innovation Party, together control 210 seats in the lower house, exceeding the LDP's total.
\n
Japanese media reported that the leader of the Democratic Party for the People, Yuichiro Tamaki, is ready to lead the government and is assessing the situation. The largest opposition force, the Constitutional Democratic Party, is trying to rally opposition forces behind Tamaki, and if the Japan Innovation Party joins the coalition, it could open the door to a government change.
\n
However, The Japan News said the motives of the three parties remain complex, and how the negotiations unfold remains uncertain.

A claim by United States President Donald Trump that the US and Canada have a "natural conflict" in trade may overstate competition and overlook the economic integration between the two countries, experts say.
\n
During a meeting with Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House on Oct 7, Trump said there is a natural conflict in the bilateral trade relationship.
\n
Mesbah Sharaf, an economics professor at the University of Alberta, said Trump was probably referring to the fact that the two economies produce and export many of the same goods.
\n
"This overlap creates competition rather than full complementarity," Sharaf said.
\n
The most visible areas of competition, he said, include energy, automobiles, steel and aluminum, and softwood.
\n
"Both countries seek to protect jobs and industries that serve similar markets, which naturally creates conflict, even though the overall relationship remains strong and deeply integrated."
\n
Trump's protectionist trade agenda, which "relies heavily on tariffs", puts long-term pressure on Canadian industries that compete directly with US producers, such as auto parts, lumber and metals, he said.
\n
"Even without new tariffs, the uncertainty around US trade policy would discourage Canadian investment and push companies to diversify away from the US market."
\n
On the prospects for a new trade pact, Sharaf was cautious.
\n
"Reaching a new trade agreement between the US and Canada is unlikely in the near future. The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement already sets the trade framework, and the US doesn't seem eager to reopen big trade talks.
\n
"What's more realistic are smaller updates — focused on electric vehicles, clean energy or digital trade — rather than a brand-new broad agreement."
\n
Ron Stagg, a history professor at Toronto Metropolitan University, said the notion of a natural conflict between the US and Canada in trade is "an overly simplistic belief" that overlooks the depth of economic integration between the two countries.
\n
'Tough situation'
\n
During his meeting with Carney, Trump cited the auto industry as an example, saying: "It's a tough situation because we want to make our cars here. At the same time, we want Canada to do well making cars. So we're working on formulas, and I think we'll get there."
\n
The following day, at the US-Canada Summit in Toronto, the US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the US could continue buying auto parts from Canada, "but that's about it". Canada should "come second" to the US in the auto sector, and there was no possibility of any auto deal between the two countries, he said.
\n
However, Stagg said the auto industry is far more interlinked than Trump and Lutnick suggest.
\n
"Canada produces some models not made in the US, vehicles are partially assembled in all three US-Mexico-Canada Agreement countries, and the auto parts suppliers are in all three countries.
\n
"Canada also produces some specialty steel products that the US either does not produce or cannot produce in sufficient quantities."
\n
Similarly, while the US forestry industry lobbies hard against its Canadian counterpart, Stagg said, the reality is that the US cannot supply enough of the specific types of wood that the construction industry needs.
\n
"So to say that there is competition is true only to a certain extent, but that is how the Trump administration sees the situation."
\n
The industries in question "will continue to face tariffs", he said, adding that "the hope is to negotiate lower ones than now exist".

\n \n \n Against the backdrop of Qinhuang Lake and the city skyline, the Chengdu World Games officially opened on Thursday night, themed \"Boundless Sports, Countless Wonders\".\n \n \n
\n \n \n The opening ceremony reached its climax when the final two torchbearers - Chinese waterskiers Xu Lu and Alu Xiaobo — glided across the water behind powerboats, carrying torches passed to them by snooker player Ding Junhui and Olympic and TWG trampoline champion Dong Dong. Xu and Alu then lit the main cauldron, designed as a water-shaped spout rising from the lake, as fireworks lit up the sky in a dazzling display.\n \n \n
\n \n \n As the largest-ever edition, the Chengdu World Games has attracted a record 6,679 total participants, including athletes and officials, from 116 countries and regions. The 3,942 athletes will compete in 256 events across 34 sports.\n \n \n
\n \n \n China has sent its largest-ever delegation: 489 members, including 321 athletes. The Chinese athletes, which has also included para-athletes for the first time, are competing in 152 events across 28 sports and making its debut in 12, including cheerleading, flying disc and powerboating.\n \n \n
\n \n \n AI hallucination occurs when an AI model generates false or illogical information that is not based on real data or events, but is presented as fact. Hallucinations can lead to significant consequences when people use AI for tasks with the potential for high-stakes consequences.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Launched by Fudan University and sponsored by United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in China, the Youth Innovation Competition on Global Governance (YICGG) is an international competition that encourages youths from around the world to develop innovative global governance solutions.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Apart from having the required curriculum, Science and Technology Branch of\n \n \n \n \n Beijing Academy\n \n \n \n \n focus more on teaching science and technology. The school is guided jointly by the\n \n \n \n \n Beijing Academy\n \n \n \n \n Educational Group and five nearby universities.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n With the five universities giving students access to their labs and arranging for lectures by their professors, the school aims to rear talents interested in science and technology.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Faced with the challenges of the economic globalization, where cross-cultural dialogue has an important place, education is booming increasingly globalized.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n Ever since the concept of Education for International Understanding was proposed by UNESCO, this dialogue has been highlighted by the government.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
