\n\n\n\n
\"伊朗开发者：被删除的互联网人生
\n\n\n\n

DELETE FROM users WHERE location = ‘IRAN’;

\n\n\n\n

你好！我是一名伊朗软件工程师，在这张撕破的纸条中，我想谈谈我在网上的一些有趣的时刻，与我在世界上这个特定地区出生的事实有关：伊朗。

\n\n\n\n
\"伊朗开发者：被删除的互联网人生
\n\n\n\n

微软删除了我的应用程序，忽略了我的邮件

\n\n\n\n

学生时代，我曾通过微软创新杯（Microsoft Imagine1）获得开发者资格，有机会将自己的开源项目 EyesGuard 上架微软应用商店。

\n\n\n\n

然而，有一天，有人告诉我，他们在商店里找不到 EyesGuard 了。

\n\n\n\n

我意识到微软删除了我的应用、开发者账户，连应用下支持我的评论和建议也全部消失。我尝试联系客服，并给所有能联系到的人发邮件，但都无人理睬。

\n\n\n\n

没有人向我解释原因，但我认为这是因为制裁。

\n\n\n\n

Notion 让我消失了

\n\n\n\n

Notion 是一款很棒的产品，它曾是我管理个人笔记的主要工具。直到他们突然决定删除所有与伊朗用户相关的数据。

\n\n\n\n

然而，他们告诉我，即使我有一天离开伊朗，他们也不会恢复数据。

\n\n\n\n
\"伊朗开发者：被删除的互联网人生
\n\n\n\n

话虽如此，我现在对自己自托管的思源感到非常满意。

\n\n\n\n

Mike Cardwell 好心地叫我滚蛋

\n\n\n\n

我每天都会阅读 Hackernews，也会定期访问很多不同的网站。由于国内外多个因素，日常需要依赖VPN。有一次，由于IP显示为伊朗，打开某网站直接被拒绝访问，页面提示“因伊朗向俄罗斯提供武器而封锁所有伊朗用户”。

\n\n\n\n

对于这种情况，我并不直接责怪平台，只是希望外界能理解伊朗的普通民众并不代表少数执政者。我发邮件解释，但最终也没有收到回复。

\n\n\n\n

GitHub 让我震惊

\n\n\n\n

有一次，GitHub 突然禁止所有伊朗用户访问私有仓库。这可不是什么好消息，虽然我随后搭建了 Gitea自托管平台来减少损失。

\n\n\n\n

然而，后来 GitHub 宣布， GitHub 已获得美国政府的许可，现在可以在伊朗使用，现在一切都好了。看到了吗？天气晴朗，鸟儿欢歌，GitHub 又自由了。太棒了！

\n\n\n\n

GitLab 让我震惊

\n\n\n\n

同样，GitLab 也封禁了所有曾经通过伊朗 IP 访问的账户，然而，直到今天，他们仍未解除禁令，即使是公共仓库。我猜他们没能拿到美国政府的许可，或者根本就不在乎。

\n\n\n\n

无论如何，祝他们好运。GitLab 是一款很棒的软件。你可以随时自行托管它。

\n\n\n\n

名单还在继续

\n\n\n\n

这个列表还在继续，几乎所有你可能听说过的服务都在这里被禁止：云平台（AWS、GCP、Azure 等）、教育平台（coursera、udemy 等）、支付软件（stripe、paypal 等）。

\n\n\n\n

我学到的教训

\n\n\n\n

我认为这些公司对任何群体都没有恶意。毕竟，他们是一家企业。他们并不恨他们的顾客；他们只是在玩游戏，而游戏本身就有规则。

\n\n\n\n

但如果有一天，法律或政府强制我禁止某个团体使用我的服务，我会在写这些 if ”语句之前三思而后行。我会尽量多一些同理心。

\n\n\n\n

屏幕背后的人比我表格里的几行数据更重要。

\n\n\n\n

最后，请使用 451 代码

\n\n\n\n

最后，@avestura 提议，如果下次有网站封禁某地区用户，请返回 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons 而不是 403 Forbidden。

\n\n\n\n

没想到，这下真上传到开源社区了！非常感谢你花费了大量的时间，梳理我们整个报告！并拆分成markdown，方便大家阅读查询。为了感谢，赠送你1000元会员卡，有空去我们店里尝尝（听说你复刻翻车了？\"😂\"），最后感谢开源文化，和不断修订此项目的同学们！

那么，CookLikeHOC 这个项目到底是什么？

\n\n\n\n

这是一个开源项目，利用了老乡鸡的菜谱，教你做饭。代码托管在 GitHub，已上线网站，成品是这样的：

\n\n\n\n
\"1000
\n\n\n\n

有非常丰富的菜谱，包括配料、步骤。

\n\n\n\n

而这些内容，来自老乡鸡自己，他们把自己的菜谱分享出来了，叫做《老乡鸡菜品溯源报告》（PDF）：

\n\n\n\n
\"1000

但是PDF也不太好阅读，谁没事整天看电子书啊 \"😂\"

\n\n\n\n

于是就有了这个项目。

而 CookLikeHOC 也因为这件事….直接开始飙升！

A Caterpillar excavator on display during an industry expo in Shanghai.

\n\n

US-based construction and mining equipment company Caterpillar Inc said that its philanthropic organization — the Caterpillar Foundation — will donate up to $10 million in China over the next five years.

\n

The donation will mainly support charity programs such as vocational training, science, technology, engineering and mathematics education, sustainable infrastructure, and disaster preparedness and mitigation.

\n

This is part of the organization's continuous commitment to help transform communities, by making them stronger, more resilient and more sustainable.

\n

Alan Yang, senior vice-president of Caterpillar, said: "For a century, Caterpillar's innovations have helped shape the modern world. Today, we are continuing our journey by investing in autonomy, alternative fuels, connectivity and digital, and electrification, with a steadfast focus on advancing our customers' productivity, safety, and sustainability for the next 100 years." He made the remarks during a media briefing at the ongoing 17th Beijing International Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines and Mining Machines Exhibition in Beijing.

\n

"This year marks the 100th anniversary of Caterpillar. It is also the 50th anniversary of the company's operations in China. China remains a strategic location for Caterpillar. In the coming years, with innovation being a key engine, we will be continuously committed to China, bringing better solutions to local customers."

\n

He noted that the past 50 years formed an important journey for Caterpillar. The company has been constantly developing advanced products and solutions to meet customer needs.

\n

"Looking forward, there will be dramatic changes in product application scenarios and customer needs. We've seen trends toward more flexible fuel solutions, more sustainable ways of working and more efficient operations. Based on these changes, we will continuously deliver expanded new product offerings and services solutions to our customers," he said.

\n

Caterpillar unveiled the latest products at the expo — Cat 3101 Super Large Hydraulic Excavator, NextGen Cat 301.7 CR Mini Excavator and SEM 669G (423.9 kWh) Electric Wheel Loader — designed for better performance, extended machine life cycles and lower operational costs.

\n

"In the past 50 years, we have successfully established a complete value chain in China, with local manufacturing, research and development, supply chain, services, and a strong dealer network. We stay focused on long-term opportunities in economic development in China," Yang said.

\n

Fang Jianxian, general manager of lmjx.net, said that Caterpillar — which has been present in China for the last 50 years — tells a vivid story of how a century-old enterprise constantly meets the demand of clients.

\n

From initially introducing equipment to China, establishing more than 20 factories and several branches, to moving the whole supply chain to the country, its localized strategy of "in China, for China" is actually forward-looking.

\n

"Specifically, Caterpillar is constantly investing in vocational training and STEM education in China, which not only cultivates local talent, but also solidifies its industrial base. This long-term approach is not common among multinational corporations," he said.

President Xi Jinping's festive greetings ahead of the eighth Chinese Farmers' Harvest Festival, which fell on Tuesday this year, were a clear signal that China regards food security as a core strategic issue. As rains, droughts and floods continue to test the country's agricultural resilience, Xi's message underscores both what has been accomplished and what remains to be done to ensure that its food bowl remains firmly in its hands.

\n

The festival is the first national festival created specifically for the country's farmers. Initiated in 2018, the festival coincides with the autumnal equinox each year, which is one of the 24 solar terms of the Chinese lunisolar calendar. It usually falls between Sept 22 and 24 during the country's agricultural harvest season.

\n

Despite natural disasters such as droughts and floods, China managed to secure a stable summer crop this year. The production of early rice increased, and yet another bumper grain harvest is anticipated. These achievements reflect that China has achieved basic self-reliance in staple grains, such as rice and other major cereals.

\n

However, China remains a net food importer, especially of agricultural goods where domestic production is insufficient and demand exceeds domestic supply.

\n

It is thus necessary to modernize both agriculture and rural areas to ensure food security. To that end, China must deepen its inputs in science, technology, equipment and policy to raise the overall agricultural production capacity and efficiency. And priority should be given to policies that strengthen agriculture, benefit farmers and enrich rural areas. This means enhancing agricultural R&D and widely adopting mechanization. The use of resilient seed varieties, improving water and soil management and disaster-response are also fundamental requirements to ensure that agriculture lays the foundation for social stability, modernization and national rejuvenation.

\n

Furthermore, strengthening agricultural infrastructure is critical. A bumper harvest depends not only on the quality of seeds but also on the quality of farmland, irrigation facilities, water conservancy, pest control, storage and transportation and more. How prepared the farmland is, how good the irrigation and drainage facilities are, and availability of agricultural technology will all contribute to reducing losses and boosting efficiency.

\n

But production is only part of the equation. The state of the rural economy is also important. Agriculture's modernization requires that processing, logistics, storage, commercialization, rural markets and value chains work better. Farmers' incomes must rise not just through higher yields but also through value added by downstream industries, rural enterprises and better market access. The goal is for agricultural modernization and rural vitalization to go hand-in-hand.

\n

Equally important is protecting farmers' legal rights and interests. President Xi emphasized the need for policies that strengthen agriculture, benefit farmers and enrich rural areas. Legal protection — over land tenure, fair returns, contracts, access to inputs and redress for disaster losses — is essential. Without secure rights and shared benefits, farmers become vulnerable, and their eagerness to invest or adopt innovations could weaken.

\n

Xi also linked agricultural modernization with efforts to build a beautiful and harmonious countryside — a place desirable to live and work in. This requires enhanced environmental protection, better public services, support for the local rural culture and improved living conditions. As China upgrades its agricultural capacity, it must also ensure that rural life improves, not just economically but socially, culturally and environmentally.

\n

As Xi urged, multiple measures should be taken to boost employment and incomes for farmers, while advancing all-around rural vitalization.

\n

By accelerating the modernization of agriculture and committing to protect farmers and rural life, China is demonstrating its resolve to make rural development and environmental harmony integral elements of its modernization. That is not only essential for China — it offers lessons to many countries seeking stable, sustainable food security in an unpredictable world.

\n

Food security is multifaceted. It requires not just planting more grain, but also resilient infrastructure, better systems and stronger production chains, as well as improved welfare and protection of the rights of those working on the land. The integration of agricultural modernization with rural vitalization and building a beautiful countryside means that China's rural areas will not lag behind but become important contributors to the country's modernization.

President Xi Jinping attends a grand gathering held on Thursday in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

\n

People from different ethnic groups give President Xi Jinping a warm send-off on Thursday at the Urumqi Tianshan International Airport in Xinjiang, as he leaves Urumqi for Beijing after attending events marking the 70th founding anniversary of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

\n

President Xi Jinping joined local officials and members of the public from all ethnic groups and walks of life on Thursday in a grand gathering in celebration of the 70th founding anniversary of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, held in Urumqi, the regional capital.

\n

Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, led a central delegation to Xinjiang on Tuesday for a series of events. It was his fourth visit to the region since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012.

\n

The event commenced at around 10:30 am. A congratulatory message from the CPC Central Committee, the National People's Congress Standing Committee, the State Council, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee and the Central Military Commission was read out.

\n

On Oct 1, 1955, the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, now home to over 26 million people of various ethnic groups in Northwest China, was formally established, marking a milestone in the region's development and a new success of the CPC's policies on ethnic affairs.

\n

Addressing the event, Wang Huning, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee and head of the central delegation, said that the achievements made by Xinjiang over the past seven decades have reflected the strengths of the Party's leadership and the socialist system, as well as the strong vitality of the correct and distinctively Chinese approach to handling ethnic affairs.

\n

Xinjiang, together with the rest of the country, won the battle against poverty and completed the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, Wang said. He noted that ethnic unity in Xinjiang has been further consolidated, and the sense of community for the Chinese nation has been strengthened.

\n

As Xinjiang writes its own chapter in Chinese modernization, Wang urged continuous efforts to uphold and strengthen the Party's overall leadership, maintain social stability, safeguard the unity of the Chinese nation, promote high-quality development centered on the people's well-being, deepen reform and expand opening-up.

\n

He stressed that the stability and unity in Xinjiang have not come easily and must be cherished.

\n

Efforts must be made to consolidate the region's peace, unity and stability, enhance and innovate social governance, and build a strong wall safeguarding social stability and lasting peace and security, Wang said.

\n

Amiragul Abdul, principal of a kindergarten in Bachu county of Kashgar prefecture, shared in her speech at the gathering how she has personally witnessed the tangible changes in Xinjiang.

\n

She recalled that when she first started working, the kindergarten was still a mud-brick building with very basic facilities, and many children of kindergarten age were still playing in the fields.

\n

"Today, all preschool children in rural areas of Xinjiang can enjoy three years of free education, and kindergartens have become the most beautiful buildings in the villages," she said.

\n

"Changes are not just in infrastructure," she added. "Over the years, through the assistance program for Xinjiang, our children have frequently connected via video with peers in kindergartens thousands of kilometers away, singing, dancing and practicing calligraphy together."

\n

In this way, the seeds of fostering a stronger sense of the Chinese nation as one community are taking root in their hearts, she said.

\n

Urumqi bus driver Gu Xiangfeng told the gathering that in his more than 30 years in the industry, he has experienced the rapid changes across the city while driving daily through its streets.

\n

"The city's roads used to be mostly gravel, turning muddy after rain or snow. Today, bumpy dirt roads have become smooth asphalt avenues, and the old buses have been replaced by green new energy vehicles, making commuting far more convenient for the public," Gu said.

\n

"In the days ahead, I will continue to hold the steering wheel, drive safely every kilometer, serve every passenger wholeheartedly, and contribute all my strength to building a modern socialist Xinjiang," he said.

\n

Xi left Urumqi for Beijing on Thursday after attending events in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the autonomous region.

\n

Instructed by Xi, a central delegation headed by Wang will visit various places in Xinjiang from Thursday to Sunday and convey greetings to people of all ethnic groups and from all sectors of society.

Growing up as a Han girl in Central China, I rarely met anyone from Xinjiang in my hometown. To me, as a child, it was a distant place where everyone seemed to know how to sing and dance.

\n

This week, that distant place became real as I came to Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, to cover events marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

\n

Since my arrival on Monday, I have been surrounded by a strong festive atmosphere in the city, which reached its climax on Thursday with a grand gathering.

\n

From early morning, when the sky was still dark, I found myself immersed in the local spirit — an Uygur song softly hummed by a taxi driver and a cheerful whistle from a pedestrian set the tone for the day.

\n

By the time I reached the venue, the light of dawn was already breaking through the wispy clouds, shining on the people gathering for the celebration.

\n

Among them, a group of men and women wearing round hats and splendid costumes — distinctly Kazakh and Uygur in style — instantly caught my eye.

\n

They turned out to be villagers from Gejiagou in Urumqi's Shuimogou district — the eldest 64 and the youngest 23. They told me that dressing in their finest clothes was their way of expressing joy and pride at being part of such a historic occasion.

\n

One of them, Sharmuha Satihaz, said that to celebrate the anniversary, the entire village had been decorated with lanterns and little red flags.

\n

"The clothes we wear today were prepared as if we were grooms and brides, to show our gratitude for the happy life we now enjoy," she said, her eyes gleaming. "And, I believe, our future will only get better if we continue to contribute in our own way."

\n

According to Sharmuha, the lives of the villagers have greatly improved over the years. They now earn more, thanks to the courtyard economy, which encourages rural families to carry out small-scale agricultural production at home, and thanks to specialty industries, such as camel milk processing plants, as well as the integration of agriculture, culture and tourism.

\n

Her words echoed a sentiment I've heard repeatedly this week, that is, over the past 70 years, people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang have, with unyielding spirit, turned deserts into farmland and borderlands into cherished homes.

\n

That spirit also reflected in the voice of 14-year-old Ekda Adil, a ninth-grade student at Urumqi No 66 Middle School, who told me her story.

\n

Ekda said she left her hometown in Shache county in Xinjiang's Kashgar prefecture in 2023 to study in Urumqi under a preferential policy, and goes home once every six months. "Each time I go back, I notice new changes," she said.

\n

During her most recent visit in July, she said she witnessed fewer dust storms and saw better infrastructure in her hometown. Located near the Taklimakan Desert, Kashgar is an area prone to sand and dust storms, especially during spring and summer.

\n

Shache, often known as the "home of Chinese almonds", had once primarily depended on agriculture. Today, specialty industries are helping its residents find jobs closer to home and earn higher incomes.

\n

Ekda said her older brother, who graduated from university this year, also plans to stay in their hometown. He is now studying e-commerce, with the hope of bringing Xinjiang's local products to consumers across the country and beyond, she added.

\n

When speaking of her own future, her voice was steady and firm. "I want to use what I've learned to help build a better Xinjiang," she told me, adding, "And I also hope that more people will come to visit, enjoy our beautiful scenery, and learn about our culture and traditions."

\n

As I listened to the teenager, I had a brief flashback of my childhood idea of Xinjiang being a magical place where people always sang and danced.

\n

This week, I saw that image come alive, but along with so much more. Behind the singing, dancing and colorful costumes lie pride, hope and determination. Today, Xinjiang for me is no longer that distant place in my imagination, but a living, changing land, full of happy voices that tell its beautiful story.

President Xi Jinping announced China's new climate pledges to the world on Wednesday, underscoring the country's consistent commitment to global climate governance.

\n

In a video address to the United Nations Climate Summit, Xi said that by 2035, China will reduce economy-wide net greenhouse gas emissions by 7 percent to 10 percent from peak levels, while striving to do even better.

\n

He noted that the year 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement on climate change, calling it a pivotal year for countries to submit their new Nationally Determined Contributions, or NDCs.

\n

NDCs, which are at the heart of the Paris Agreement and the achievement of its long-term goals, embody efforts by each country to reduce national emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

\n

China submitted its initial set of NDCs under the Paris Agreement in 2015, and updated the targets in 2020, vowing to peak its carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.

\n

Outlining China's latest NDCs targeting 2035, Xi also highlighted goals to increase the share of nonfossil fuels in total energy consumption to over 30 percent, and to expand the installed capacity of wind and solar power to more than six times the 2020 levels, striving to bring the total to 3,600 gigawatts.

\n

China's new NDC targets also include scaling up the total forest stock volume to over 24 billion cubic meters, making new energy vehicles the mainstream in sales of new vehicles, expanding the National Carbon Emissions Trading Market to cover major high-emission sectors, and basically establishing a climate-adaptive society.

\n

The latest updates mark the first time that China has committed to absolute emissions reduction targets covering all economic sectors and all greenhouse gases.

\n

In recent years, China has made tremendous efforts to deliver on its commitments to emissions reduction. The nation's investment in clean energy reached over $625 billion in 2024, accounting for one-third of the global total and nearly doubling its 2015 investment, according to a report released at an energy industry forum in June.

\n

Dimitri de Boer, director for China at environmental organization ClientEarth, said: "China has committed to continuing its rapid deployment of renewable energy and reducing emissions from the peak. If recent trends continue, the NDC targets will be met and exceeded."

\n

He added that China's "low-cost, high-quality green technologies are the greatest breakthrough in the global fight against climate change. By accelerating innovation in renewable energy, electric vehicles and clean tech, China is proving that sustainable growth and climate action can go hand in hand".

\n

In his speech on Wednesday, Xi pointed out that "green and low-carbon transition is the trend of our time" and urged the international community to push for the formulation and delivery of NDCs.

\n

Citing the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, he called on developed nations to take the lead in emission reduction and provide more financial and technological support to developing countries.

\n

It is important that countries strengthen international coordination in green technologies and industries to address the shortfall in green production capacity and ensure the free flow of quality green products globally, so that the benefits of green development can reach all corners of the world, he said.

Domestic and foreign businesses will benefit from more standardized, efficient and accessible dispute resolution services under a new judicial document, officials from China's top court said.

\n

The Supreme People's Court on Thursday released a guideline on international commercial courts and tribunals in an effort to regulate their services, promote high-quality development and ensure high-level opening-up.

\n

The guideline, which includes 15 provisions and emphasizes advancing the Belt and Road Initiative, marks the first time the top court has systematically planned the coordinated development of its international commercial courts and local tribunals.

\n

"Our goal is to help foster a first-class business environment that is stable, fair, transparent and predictable, adhering to market-oriented, rule-of-law and international standards, thereby positioning China as a preferred venue for resolving international commercial disputes," said Wang Shumei, a standing member of the court's adjudication committee.

\n

Under the guideline, foreign business entities will be provided with standardized English versions of judicial documents and litigation procedures that are relevant while resolving disputes in Chinese international commercial courts and tribunals.

\n

Within the legal framework, judges are also permitted to use video links to transmit evidence and witness the authorization of agents by foreign parties to improve efficiency, the guideline said.

\n

It also encourages the use of advanced technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence to build a cross-border service database and assist in identifying foreign laws.

\n

Additionally, Wang said the court will amend judicial interpretations of the Civil Procedure Law and the Arbitration Law at an appropriate time to strengthen protections for cross-border transaction disputes and support the development of arbitration.

\n

"We'll also increase exchanges and cooperation with overseas colleges and international organizations to cultivate talent proficient in foreign-related legal practices and international rules," she said.

\n

The top court established its first and second international commercial courts in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, and Xi'an, Shaanxi province, in 2018. In 2020, tribunals dedicated to foreign-related commercial cases were set up in 16 intermediate courts nationwide.

\n

As of Sept 20, the two international commercial courts had heard 44 cases and concluded 37 of them. According to data released on Thursday, these cases involved parties from 21 countries and regions. Since 2020, local tribunals have dealt with 16,687 disputes and resolved more than 15,000.

\n

Wang Haifeng, deputy chief judge of the top court's Fourth Civil Division, said the international commercial judicial institutions have played a key role in offering efficient, convenient and low-cost dispute resolution services for both domestic and foreign parties.

\n

"These efforts have contributed to regional economic development and provided legal support for Chinese enterprises expanding abroad and for the protection of their overseas interests," he said.

\n

On Thursday, the court also disclosed five notable cases involving the BRI that demonstrate China's judicial commitment to ensuring high-level opening-up.

\n

Experts from around the world on Wednesday acknowledged China's achievements in balancing economic growth with environmental protection, highlighting the importance of sharing and cooperation to strengthen global biodiversity and sustainability.

\n

"China has 34 global biosphere reserves, ranking first in Asia, and they are excellent examples that demonstrate the objective of the Man and the Biosphere Programme: it is possible to have good nature and development for the community," said Antonio Abreu, director of the Division of Ecological and Earth Sciences at UNESCO.

\n

The MAB Programme is an intergovernmental scientific initiative aimed at establishing a foundation for fostering a harmonious relationship between humans and their environments. The 5th World Congress of Biosphere Reserves, convened by UNESCO every 10 years, provided a platform to evaluate progress, exchange experiences and chart future directions for the program.

\n

The event, which was held from Monday to Thursday in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, drew around 4,000 participants from more than 150 countries.

\n

Abreu, who is also secretary of the MAB Programme, said this year's congress, which was held in Asia for the first time, confirmed its global relevance and served as a tribute to China for its investment in demonstrating harmony between humans and nature.

\n

As the host city, Hangzhou stood out as "a globally renowned high-tech innovative hub", showing that "conservation is not an old-fashioned thing, but can be done along with technology," he said.

\n

Hans Dencker Thulstrup, chief of section for UNESCO's MAB Networking, echoed Abreu's views, noting that "China has been one of the leading and pioneering countries in the MAB Programme."

\n

"The linkage between scientific research, the management of the sites and the application of new technologies, like artificial intelligence and space-based technologies, makes China's performance in creating biosphere reserves so strong," Thulstrup said, adding that the nation's ecological civilization concept aligns with the program's goals.

\n

Recalling his work at a UNESCO office in Beijing between 2013 and 2017, Thulstrup said he witnessed rapid economic growth, accompanied by a growing awareness of the need to balance that growth with environmental protection.

\n

He cited large-scale ecological restoration projects in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region aimed at recovering land and stopping desertification. Those efforts, he said, "demonstrate a strong connection between a very solid scientific research basis and the ability to implement at a large scale. This is a very valuable experience for China and other countries."

\n

Thulstrup stressed the importance of collaboration among nations and people in addressing global challenges, calling for the sharing of data, methodologies, technology and practical experiences to enhance collective efforts.

\n

Liette Vasseur, a professor of biology and environmental sciences at Brock University in Canada, also underscored the value of cross-border cooperation, drawing on her decades-long collaboration with Chinese universities and institutions in botany.

\n

Reflecting on her experiences since first visiting China in 1997, Vasseur noted the country's progress from its early development stages to its current pursuit of sustainable development.

\n

She attributed China's advancements in sustainable agriculture, biodiversity and environmental conservation to the government's commitment and its ability to inspire and motivate the population.

\n

She added that although different countries have their own situations, they can share experiences and learn exemplary practices from others. "We are all a family in the end," she said.

\n

Dominic Mundrugo Ogo-Lali, deputy secretary-general of the Uganda National Commission for UNESCO, said Uganda faces ecological and environmental challenges driven by rapid population growth, which is steering the country's economic development away from a sustainable path.

\n

He said Uganda has received substantial assistance from China in areas such as education through UNESCO projects. Given that China also has a huge population, he suggested Uganda could learn from China's experience and expressed hope for future collaboration in environmental restoration and biodiversity protection.

Renowned Chinese landscape architect Yu Kongjian, champion of the "sponge city" concept, died in a plane crash in Brazil's Pantanal wetlands while making a film late Tuesday, Peking University said in an obituary Thursday.

\n

Yu, 62, was dean and founder of Peking University's College of Architecture and Landscape, as well as the visionary behind China's groundbreaking sponge city initiative. His internationally acclaimed concept calls for urban environments that absorb, clean and reuse rainwater like a sponge, providing a sustainable solution to flooding and water scarcity. His work, which offered a Chinese model for sustainable urban development, earned him various accolades, including the International Federation of Landscape Architects' highest honor — the Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe Award.

\n

Yu and three others — the pilot and two local filmmakers — were killed when their aircraft crashed in the Pantanal wetlands.

\n

"Professor Yu's passing is an immense loss to Peking University and to the global field of ecological landscape design. He will be profoundly missed," the obituary read. "We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, colleagues and students. Our sincere sympathies are also extended to the families of the other victims in this tragedy. May they all rest in peace."

\n

Yu, whose ecological ideas were shaped by the landscapes of his childhood in Dongyu village, Zhejiang province, dedicated his life to realizing a vision of harmony between humanity and nature, the university said. A passionate advocate for ecological civilization, he worked toward the goal of a "Beautiful China" and the healing of the planet. Shortly before the crash, he was engaged in fieldwork in the Pantanal wetlands, a vital global ecosystem, reflecting on the urgent need to protect the world's remaining natural sanctuaries, it added.

\n

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva expressed "sadness and consternation".

\n

"During times of climate change, Yu became a global reference for sponge cities, which combine quality of life and environmental protection: something we want — and need — for the future," Lula said in a statement.

\n

China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun on Thursday voiced deep grief at Yu's passing and extended condolences to his family. The Chinese embassy in Brazil will continue to assist with aftermath arrangements, he said at a daily news conference.

\n

In a "message from the dean" published on the college's website, Yu wrote that the increasing tension between humans and land, the energy crisis, the deterioration of ecological environments in both urban and rural areas, the dilemmas of transportation and living conditions, and the challenges brought by global climate change require a new look at the values and methods once adopted in the education and practice of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban and rural planning.

Zhang Tao

\n

Chinese chemist Zhang Tao, a pioneer in single-atom catalysis, has become the first Citation Laureate from the Chinese mainland for research that enables more efficient, sustainable chemical reactions and offers solutions for a cleaner, greener world.

\n

Selected by analytics company Clarivate, the international award recognizes research influence and citation impact comparable to that of Nobel Prize recipients. Since the program's inception in 2002, 83 of more than 460 laureates have later been awarded a Nobel Prize.

\n

Clarivate announced this year's 22 laureates in physiology or medicine, physics, chemistry and economics during a launch ceremony in Beijing on Thursday. The winners are affiliated with academic institutions and universities in eight countries.

\n

Zhang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a researcher at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, is renowned for the transformative technology of single-atom catalysis, which contributes to the sustainability of chemical processes, energy conversion and environmental cleanup.

\n

In 2011, Zhang and his team published a landmark paper in the journal Nature Chemistry reporting the creation of a single-atom catalyst on an iron oxide support.

\n

The findings revolutionized heterogeneous catalysis by overturning the conventional wisdom that a single atom would be unstable under catalytic conditions. The work also established a systematic methodology for other researchers.

\n

The paper has since been cited more than 6,000 times in the Web of Science database.

\n

"It ranks in the top 2,000 we have indexed in any field since 1970, and the top 500 for contributions from 2011 to the present," said David Pendlebury, chief scientist at Clarivate's Institute for Scientific Information.

\n

"The paper, as they say, launched a thousand ships steered by other researchers now eager to explore the new territory that Zhang and his colleagues charted," he said.

\n

Zhang said the award represents full recognition of the originality and international impact of the research.

\n

"In the past, my collaborators and I created the concept of single-atom catalysis by standing on the shoulders of others. Looking ahead, I hope that more young scientists will stand on our shoulders to drive catalysis and chemistry to a higher level," he said.

\n

"I believe that the integration of single-atom catalysis with artificial intelligence will shape a new paradigm of atomically precise catalysis, making rational catalyst design possible and accelerating the advancement of global new energy and green chemical industries," he added.

\n

Osher Gilinsky, vice-president of Clarivate, said Zhang's selection as the first Citation Laureate from the Chinese mainland reflects the country's growing influence in global science.

\n

"Over the past decade, we have witnessed the tremendous progress China has made and continues to make in research and development," he said.

\n

He noted that according to the company's annual reports evaluating the research and innovation prowess of G20 nations, the Chinese mainland led research output with nearly 900,000 papers — tripling its volume since 2015.

\n

"By honoring scientists like Zhang Tao, we help shine a light on discoveries that improve life and shape our future," he said.

\n

Editor's note: The Taiwan question is a key focus for China and the international community. China Daily is publishing a series of reports to track hot Taiwan-related topics and address disinformation from the Democratic Progressive Party administration.

\n

The history of Taiwan's recovery and return to the motherland shows that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one community with a shared future. The Chinese mainland and Chinese culture have always been the roots of Taiwan compatriots. Only with deep roots can the branches of a tree flourish.

\n

After coming to power, Lai Ching-te has made no mention of Taiwan's recovery. He brazenly denies the victorious accomplishments in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), including those made by Taiwan compatriots. He has falsified the notions that "The two sides of the Taiwan Strait are not subordinate to each other" and that "The People's Republic of China has no authority to represent Taiwan" by garbling and grafting history.

\n

These fabrications aim to uproot the historical bonds between the two sides of the Strait, and promote a "Taiwan independence" narrative to the harm of the people in Taiwan. This is not only a betrayal of history, but also an insult to the painful memories of the people in Taiwan with regard to colonial rule. It fully exposes the pro-"independence" nature of Lai and the DPP authorities, yet it cannot alter the historical fact that Taiwan is part of China.

\n

Taiwan was ceded to Japan in 1895 as a result of the Qing Dynasty's (1644-1911) defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-95), and its forced signing of the humiliating Treaty of Shimonoseki under Japanese coercion.

\n

After the outbreak of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Communist Party of China explicitly put forward the proposition of recovering Taiwan, and supported and promoted the Taiwan recovery movement.

\n

Taiwan compatriots have a fine tradition of loving their country and hometowns, and a lofty national spirit. In the struggle against aggression, people on both sides of the Strait further strengthened their shared national spirit and national sentiments, and formed a community sharing weal and woe.

\n

The declaration issued by the Taiwan Revolutionary Alliance upon its establishment in September 1941 stated: "The fate of the motherland is the fate of Taiwan. If the motherland survives, Taiwan survives; if the motherland triumphs, Taiwan is recovered; otherwise, Taiwan is lost."

\n

On Dec 9, 1941, the Chinese government formally declared war on Japan, proclaiming the abrogation of all treaties between China and Japan, including the Treaty of Shimonoseki.

\n

As the main Eastern Theater of the World Anti-Fascist War, China contained and wore out the vast majority of Japan's military, economic and strategic resources, shaping a favorable strategic situation for final victory in the war and for Taiwan's recovery and return to the motherland.

\n

Throughout this process, Taiwan compatriots shared the same destiny with the motherland, and their fight against Japan was an integral part of the whole nation's war of resistance. During the 50 years of Japanese colonial rule, Taiwan compatriots, determined to defend the dignity of the Chinese nation, never ceased resisting, and engaged in both armed and unarmed struggles against Japanese occupation. Their courageous resistance was an indispensable force in achieving Taiwan's recovery and return to the motherland.

\n

Taiwan compatriots further supported the motherland's war of resistance in other ways. More than 50,000 young people from Taiwan returned to the mainland against all odds and joined counter-Japanese aggression groups. Under the banner of the national united front against Japanese aggression advocated by the CPC, compatriots on both sides of the Strait fought side by side, and made important contributions to victory in the war of resistance against Japanese aggression and to Taiwan's recovery.

\n

As victory in the anti-fascist war approached, the leaders of China, the United States and the United Kingdom issued the Cairo Declaration on Dec 1, 1943, which explicitly stated that territories stolen from China by Japan, such as Northeast China, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, must be restored to China. Under the Cairo Declaration, Taiwan and the Penghu Islands were recognized as "territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese".

\n

On July 26, 1945, China, the US and the UK issued the Potsdam Proclamation, urging Japan to surrender unconditionally. Article 8 of the proclamation explicitly stipulated, "The terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out". On Sept 2 of the same year, Japan signed the instrument of unconditional surrender, accepting all provisions of the Potsdam Proclamation.

\n

From the perspective of international law, the instrument of surrender carried indisputable legal force. These historical documents had great legal significance, as they confirmed the post-war principle that Taiwan's sovereignty belongs to China, provided a solid legal basis for Taiwan's recovery and return to the motherland, and made Taiwan's return an unshakable part of the post-war international order.

\n

Taiwan's recovery and return to the motherland wiped out the historical humiliation the Chinese nation suffered.

\n

Since ancient times, Taiwan has been an indispensable part of China's territory. Lai's claims that "Taiwan has had an independent ecosystem since ancient times", and that Taiwan "is the birthplace of Austronesian culture" have no historical basis and run completely counter to the historical facts of exchanges and interaction between people across the Strait. As early as the Song Dynasty (960-1279) in the mid-12th century, troops had been stationed on the Penghu Islands and the area was under the administration of Jinjiang county, Quanzhou, Fujian province.

\n

Whether during the period of Japanese colonial rule or after Taiwan's recovery and return to the motherland, the cultural ties and shared values rooted in the same origin, language and ethnicity between compatriots on both sides have never changed.

\n

The Japanese colonial authorities' policy of "Japanization" failed to shake the firm commitment of Taiwan compatriots to the Chinese language and culture. They tenaciously upheld the traditions and celebrations of festivals such as Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. This deep sense of identification with Chinese culture is an important reflection of the fact that both sides of the Strait belong to one China, and was a major reason why the people of Taiwan quickly returned to the embrace of Chinese culture after recovery.

\n

As Taiwan's recovery and return to the motherland prove that Taiwan being part of China is an irrefutable fact, the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and the DPP authorities have seen Taiwan's recovery as a "thorn in the side" and have been keen to tamper with and try to erase this historical fact.

\n

The DPP authorities and the separatist forces on the island have been deliberately downplaying and maliciously distorting the historical facts surrounding Taiwan's recovery. They have extensively deleted content related to Taiwan's recovery from history textbooks or offered distorted interpretations of this part of history, erased the heroic deeds of the people of Taiwan in resisting colonial rule, denied the historical significance of Taiwan's recovery, and attempted to sever the historical ties between Taiwan and the mainland. The DPP authorities have canceled events commemorating anniversaries of Taiwan's recovery, and instead glorified Japan's colonial rule, even going so far as to honor the aggressors who exercised colonial rule over Taiwan.

\n

Likewise, the culture that Japanese colonialists failed to change in 50 years cannot possibly be altered today by the DPP authorities by promoting "cultural Taiwan independence". Compatriots on both sides of the Strait share the same roots, origin, language and ethnicity. No matter how the DPP authorities distort the facts, they cannot change the Chinese cultural genes flowing in the veins of Taiwan compatriots, nor can they alter the deep Chinese cultural roots embedded in Taiwan society.

\n

The views don't necessarily represent those of China Daily.

Tso Ru-yu teaches a young girl about Chinese tea culture in Taining, Fujian province.

\n

Tso Ru-yu has dedicated 50 of her 60 years to the promotion of tea culture across the Taiwan Strait, and in the process has learned that the culture of the Chinese people on both sides is steeped in tea.

\n

Originally from Taichung, Taiwan, the birthplace of Oriental Beauty oolong tea, or Dongfang Meiren, Tso began learning the craft of tea-making at the age of 7. "My family has been making tea for generations, and I am the fourth-generation successor," she said. The roots of her family, some 100 years prior, go back to Guangdong province in South China.

\n

After exhaustively studying Taiwan's tea categories, around 2009, Tso's passion led her to the Chinese mainland, where she explored tea-growing regions in Guangdong, Sichuan and Fujian provinces. "These areas carry a long history of tea cultivation," she said, expressing her admiration for the mainland's diverse tea varieties.

\n

Around 2019, while visiting Fujian, Tso decided to settle in Meikou township in Taining county, a decision she described as a fateful encounter. "The village has a beautiful environment, clean water, and very kind people," she said. "It also reminds me of my hometown in Miaoli county, Taiwan. Though my childhood village has since been replaced by buildings, in Meikou I feel as if I've gone back in time."

\n

Tso studied the local tea for about four years, and has watched Taining's tea industry develop. During that time, local officials encouraged her to remain and share her expertise.

\n

Drawing on her experience in Taiwan, Tso developed a new tea-making process that integrates the characteristics of Oriental Beauty oolong, Taiwan's high-mountain oolong and Guangdong's Phoenix Dancong oolong. The result was a new variety named Taining kung fu tea, a blend that carries the essence of teas from across the Strait.

\n

Last year, a local tea factory was established to produce Taining kung fu tea, creating dozens of jobs for villagers, particularly women. To boost productivity, the factory not only processes spring tea but also summer and autumn harvests, significantly increasing output.

\n

Inspired by Tso, several of her friends from Taiwan have also chosen to settle in Taining, attracted by its natural beauty and opportunities. Today, more than 20 Taiwan-funded enterprises, mostly in agriculture, have invested in the county.

\n

According to official data, Taining had 1,800 hectares of tea plantations last year, producing 1,500 metric tons of tea with an industry output value exceeding 180 million yuan ($25.3 million).

\n

"The Chinese tea culture, which dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and Song Dynasty (960-1279), is the same in Taiwan and on the mainland," Tso said. "It is in our blood."

\n

To help pass on this heritage, she also offers free classes for local villagers and students.

\n

"Chinese tea art, with its thousands of years of history, has become an integral part of daily life and plays an important role on many occasions," she said.

\n

Yet Tso worries that many young people today lack a deep understanding of authentic tea culture, and so she has dedicated herself to teaching a growing number of students and apprentices on both sides of the Strait.

\n

Tso remains committed to a lifelong mission to preserve and pass down Chinese tea culture. "Our Chinese culture deserves to be inherited and cherished," she said.

Editor's note: As China's civilization exploration project continues to deepen, stories of ordinary people discovering precious artifacts remind us that the roots of our 5,000-year civilization continue to flow through daily life. This true story from Liaoning tells us that cultural treasures may be right beside us, waiting to awaken our heartfelt dialogue with ancient civilization.

\n

In the 1970s, farmer Ma Longtu from Jianping, Liaoning province, made what seemed like an ordinary decision. While working in the fields, he unearthed a strange, dark brown object. Since it had no bottom and couldn't hold water, he had a bright idea and fashioned a base with cardboard to turn it into a penholder. For nearly a decade, this "improvised" desktop accessory quietly held writing brushes, pencils and rulers.

\n

Who could have imagined that this humble penholder was actually a 5,000-year-old jade ring from the Hongshan culture — one of China's most important Neolithic civilizations.

\n

The turning point came in 1981. When Liaoning provincial cultural relics survey expert Guo Dashun entered Ma Longtu's home, his attention was immediately drawn to the "dark brown tube" on the desk filled with brushes, ink, paper and inkstones. Without hesitation, he pulled out a magnifying glass for careful examination and asked with excitement: "Where did you get this?"

\n

"Found it in the field," Ma replied.

\n

Guo slapped his thigh with excitement: "This is a 5,000-year-old treasure, a jade ring from Hongshan culture!"

\n

Upon hearing this, Ma immediately stood up and grabbed the expert's arm: "Please take it away! This belongs to the country and should return to where it truly belongs!"

\n

This discovery triggered major archaeological excavations at the Niuheliang site. Ma also became involved in the "root-seeking" work of the 5,000-year-old civilization, becoming a guardian of Hongshan culture.

\n

The story didn't end there. In 1983, when the Niuheliang archaeological team was recruiting members, Ma's son Ma Ruicai was the first to sign up. This fortunate young man witnessed the unearthing of a goddess statue on Nov 2 that year.

\n

The transportation process was fraught with difficulties — the road to Majiagou was full of potholes, making it impossible for vehicle wheels to pass. A group of people stood around the red silk-wrapped box, wondering what to do. They finally chose a female team member, Wei Fan. She held the box tight like her own child and walked for over an hour to safely transport the goddess statue to Majiagou.

\n

Today, Ma Ruicai works as a security guard at the Niuheliang Goddess Temple. In his spare time, he always takes his grandchildren to the site museum to tell them the story of how their great-grandfather used a jade ring as a penholder.

\n

The children exclaim: "Grandpa, it turns out our ancestors' treasures were hidden in our everyday lives all along!"

\n

As experts have noted, although the Hongshan culture dates back very far, people don't feel unfamiliar with it when they encounter it, because it contains profound cultural inheritance. From a cardboard-bottomed penholder to a national treasure, from field farmer to cultural relic guardian, the 5,000-year-old Hongshan civilization comes alive in ordinary times and continues to write new chapters through generations of inheritance.

Editor's note: As China's civilization exploration project continues to deepen, stories of ordinary people discovering precious artifacts remind us that the roots of our 5,000-year civilization continue to flow through daily life. This true story from Liaoning tells us that cultural treasures may be right beside us, waiting to awaken our heartfelt dialogue with ancient civilization.

\n

In the 1970s, farmer Ma Longtu from Jianping, Liaoning province, made what seemed like an ordinary decision. While working in the fields, he unearthed a strange, dark brown object. Since it had no bottom and couldn't hold water, he had a bright idea and fashioned a base with cardboard to turn it into a penholder. For nearly a decade, this "improvised" desktop accessory quietly held writing brushes, pencils and rulers.

The grand gathering to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region in Urumqi, the regional capital, on Thursday was more than just a local affair. In recalling how a hinterland region has been transformed into a vibrant regional economy exemplifying all-round development, it also conveyed a broader national significance.

\n

Abject rural poverty, a long-term challenge in Xinjiang's remote rural areas, has been eradicated. New infrastructure links villages to markets and cities to trade corridors, as well as the region to neighboring countries. Emerging industries — from renewable energy to modern agriculture — have begun to reshape Xinjiang's economy, bringing tangible benefits to local residents.

\n

All this has been achieved under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. Xinjiang's governance has been defined by the Party's comprehensive guidelines that emphasize stability, rule of law, ethnic unity, cultural enrichment and sustainable development. The region's steady development in the new era reflects the institutional strengths of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and the effectiveness of the policies tailored to the region.

\n

These have enabled Xinjiang to navigate multiple challenges while also achieving substantial progress, particularly since 2012. These achievements made under the Party's guidelines for governing Xinjiang in the new era have not just improved people's livelihoods; they have also bolstered a sense of confidence and belonging among the region's people of all ethnic groups. This harmony in diversity was fully displayed at the grand gathering in Urumqi.

\n

Ethnic unity is the bedrock for the stability and prosperity of Xinjiang. Yet Xinjiang's significance extends beyond its internal cohesion. Strategically located at the crossroads of Central Asia, the region is an essential hub for the Belt and Road Initiative. Its highways, railways and pipelines link China with Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe. That gives Xinjiang dual importance as both a domestic development priority and a global gateway.

\n

The white paper on Xinjiang's governance released last week provides a clear articulation of the long-term vision. It lays out a framework for a united and harmonious, prosperous and modern, culturally confident, ecologically sustainable and secure Xinjiang.

\n

Xinjiang's stability and development clearly show how a multiethnic border region can be transformed into a model of modernization as long as an appropriate governance system is in place. The region's progress over the past 70 years indicates that the Party's approach to governing Xinjiang has helped establish such a governance system that is effective in meeting the region's practical needs. This is not merely about short-term economic growth; it is about institutionalizing a system of governance that can sustain progress for decades to come.

\n

The tone in Xinjiang is one of confidence. The message should be clear to all: Seventy years after its founding, the autonomous region has reached a new starting point. It is no longer a border region defined by remoteness or hardship. The next stage of its journey has begun.

\n

The anniversary celebrations were not only a commemoration of what has been achieved — they were also a declaration of intent, a statement that Xinjiang's future lies in deeper integration with the rest of the country and the world.

\n

For China, Xinjiang is more than a regional success story. It is a demonstration of how the nation envisions modernization: rooted in stability, enriched by cultural diversity, and guided by a long-term vision of unity and prosperity. That is why the 70th anniversary commemorations matter — not just as a look back at history, but as a marker of the road ahead. Xinjiang has now joined the rest of the country in embarking on the new journey of building a modern socialist country in all respects.

In an address to the United Nations Climate Summit in New York on Wednesday, President Xi Jinping reaffirmed China's unwavering commitment to climate action.

\n

Delivered via video, Xi's speech comes at a critical moment. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement — a crucial year for nations to update their Nationally Determined Contributions as global climate governance enters a decisive phase.

\n

Announcing China's ambitious new NDCs, Xi said that these targets represent China's best efforts based on the requirements of the Paris Agreement, and meeting these targets will require painstaking efforts by the country itself as well as a supportive and open international environment.

\n

Saying that the green and low carbon transition is "the trend of our time", he urged the international community to "stay focused in the right direction" despite some countries "acting against it".

\n

China has consistently prioritized and actively participated in global climate governance. The country has previously pledged to peak its carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. But the 2035 goals announced by Xi mark a new stage in China's climate policy. The goals include reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by 7 to 10 percent from peak levels; increasing the share of nonfossil fuels in energy consumption to over 30 percent; and expanding the installed capacity of wind and solar power to over six times the 2020 levels. They represent a shift from controlling incremental increases to decreasing the existing levels of green house gas emissions. This shift is backed by other commitments such as drastically expanding forests, making new energy vehicles the mainstream in the sales of new cars, and basically establishing a climate adaptive society.

\n

As President Xi said, China has the resolve and confidence to deliver on these commitments and it will be "striving to do better".

\n

The Paris Agreement of 2015 aims to limit global warming to "well below" 2 C above preindustrial levels by the end of the century, and "pursue efforts" to keep warming within the safer limit of 1.5 C for the world to avoid the worst climate catastrophes. Under the pact, countries must update their NDCs every five years as they seek to reduce emissions.

\n

By presenting its emissions reduction target well ahead of the 30th UN climate conference, or COP30, to be held in Belem, Brazil, in November, China, as a responsible major country, has signaled its firm commitment to the international climate change control process while sending a positive message to the world about its transition to green and low-carbon development.

\n

China's stepping up its climate efforts is both timely and inspiring for the global fight against climate change, especially given the United States is in the process of withdrawing from the Paris accord for a second time. The US president went so far as to call climate change a "con job" at a recent UN meeting.

\n

Thanks largely to China's persistent efforts to promote a low-carbon economy, along with those of others, progress has been made in limiting the global temperature increase. "In the last 10 years, the projected global temperature rise has dropped from four degrees Celsius to less than three," UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.

\n

China has been accelerating its comprehensive green transformation and, as a result, only half of the country's electricity mix comes from coal, as compared to three-quarters a decade ago. China has also established preliminary advantages in several key green sectors, with more than 80 percent of the world's solar panels and 70 percent of wind power equipment coming from the country. Its booming exports of solar panels, batteries and electric cars are helping cut emissions in many other countries as well.

\n

Climate response is an urgent yet long-term task that all countries, both developing and developed, are facing. But the clock is relentlessly counting down the days in which meaningful action can prevent temperatures crossing critical warming limits. All members of the international community must honor the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities to fulfill their emissions reduction obligations. Only by doing so can the beautiful vision of harmony between humanity and nature be realized, and can we avoid an existential climate catastrophe.

\n

China's resolve to meet the targets it has set is clear, as is its call for global solidarity in tackling the challenge of climate change. Despite some nations acting contrary to this imperative, the international community must remain resolute, focused and committed to the climate cause, as only by acting with collective determination, as Xi said, will the world preserve our shared home and ensure a sustainable and prosperous future for generations to come.

With Andorra, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Malta, and Monaco formally recognizing the State of Palestine at a recent United Nations meeting, the balance in Europe has tipped irreversibly. The official mission from Palestine at the UN even posted a world map on social media, showing that an overwhelming majority of states worldwide now recognize Palestinian statehood. This is a reality Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cannot undo, no matter how hard he repeats his uncompromising line that "there will be no Palestinian state to the west of the Jordan River".

\n

Among the many causes, public opinion has perhaps had the greatest impact on international politics. On the streets of Brussels, home to the European Union's core institutions, protesters regularly gather with "Free Palestine" banners, while some demonstrators even hold cultural performances, staging dances at public squares that draw in locals and tourists alike.

\n

Gaza-related topics have consistently dominated online discussions. In June, climate activist Greta Thunberg captured global headlines when she joined a humanitarian mission attempting to deliver supplies to Gaza by boat across the Mediterranean. July and August were all about Israel's Deir al-Balah offensive in the Gaza Strip and the UN confirming famine in Gaza. By September, the Global Sumud Flotilla had sailed again to Gaza, and images of its convoy being attacked by Israeli drones and explosions circulated worldwide, further highlighting the humanitarian crisis in the region.

\n

When Hamas launched its surprise attacks on Israel in October 2023, international opinion was largely sympathetic to Israel, with governments and social organizations alike condemning the violence and affirming Israel's right to self-defense. However, as the conflict dragged on unabated, and the Netanyahu government's military response inflicted mounting casualties on women and children in Gaza, global opinion began shifting.

\n

In today's hyper-connected media environment, this switch in sentiment is such that now hardly any European politician dares to openly side with Israel for fear of alienating voters and losing political capital.

\n

The transformation is stark if one looks back at 1974 when, during a parliamentary debate in the United Kingdom, Lord Boothby thundered: "My lords, the State of Israel must be preserved. We betrayed it at one moment; we must not betray it again." There was a slight change by 2010 when then UK Prime Minister David Cameron said, "Gaza cannot and must not be allowed to remain a prison camp."

\n

Today, the statements from European politicians and public figures have grown even sharper, reflecting how far the needle has swung.

\n

The trajectory shows that soft power is an important component of a nation's influence in the global arena. Israel's hard power, supported by its military strength and strategic alliances, remains formidable, but it cannot fully compensate for the erosion of its image and legitimacy in the eyes of the world. In the long term, the loss of soft power threatens to isolate Israel in ways that military might cannot prevent.

\n

The growing recognition of Palestine is a testament to how public opinion expressed through protests and amplified on social media can shape political outcomes. A quarter of the way through the 21st century, it's necessary for the Netanyahu government to recognize the shift.

\n

The two-state solution remains the only viable framework for lasting peace. This is a fact as well understood in Tel Aviv as it is in Brussels or Washington. Improving humanitarian conditions in Gaza, showing willingness to engage in genuine political dialogue, and easing the suffering of civilians is the only way for Israel to address international concerns and improve its standing in global public opinion.

Artificial intelligence has emerged as a transformative force, reshaping economies, societies and technologies worldwide. Recognizing its potential, China has proposed the AI+ International Cooperation Initiative to guide AI development toward inclusivity and sustainability, particularly supporting Global South countries. The initiative exemplifies how China seeks to contribute global public goods in the rapidly evolving technological landscape.

\n

At its heart, the initiative underscores that AI must serve humanity and promote social welfare. China's domestic AI+ design has already mapped out scenarios where AI empowers high-quality development across sectors. Drawing on these experiences, China is ready to share insights and practices with the international community, reinforcing the notion that responsible AI governance is both a national and global imperative.

\n

To translate this vision into action, the AI+ International Cooperation Initiative highlights several interconnected priorities. Enhancing public well-being remains fundamental: AI applications in education and healthcare can bridge the digital divide, reduce inequality and strengthen human capital. Closely linked to this is the pursuit of technological advancement. AI, particularly advanced generative models, should remain a shared resource, fostering collaborative research and enabling global breakthroughs in knowledge.

\n

The initiative also emphasizes industrial applications, ensuring AI is not only innovative but scalable, affordable and capable of enhancing productivity across sectors. China's rich domestic experience provides practical reference for other countries to accelerate AI-driven industrial growth.

\n

At the same time, cultural prosperity must be safeguarded. Many AI systems are currently trained on English-language data, creating imbalances in representation. International cooperation can encourage AI applications that respect different languages, traditions and cultural contexts, promoting inclusive and equitable development.

\n

Finally, cultivation of talent underpins all these efforts. Human expertise is the decisive factor in AI advancement. But global talent is unevenly distributed. Strengthening international cooperation in training and knowledge exchange is essential for equitable and sustainable progress, particularly for developing countries.

\n

By linking these priorities, the initiative addresses both technological opportunities and governance challenges. It aligns with the Global Digital Compact, the Pact of the Future and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, demonstrating how AI can be harnessed safely, inclusively and in a sustainable manner.

\n

Ultimately, the AI+ International Cooperation Initiative enriches the global AI ecosystem by promoting both innovation and real-world application. Past industrial revolutions succeeded not merely through invention but through the widespread adoption of new technologies. Similarly, AI's transformative potential lies in its integration with human welfare, productivity and societal development.

\n

In this light, the initiative is more than a policy proposal — it is a public good reflecting China's responsible role in global governance. Through collaboration rooted in mutual respect and win-win principles, China aims to foster a future where AI contributes to shared prosperity and a brighter future for humanity.

When the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was launched in 2013 as the flagship of the Belt and Road Initiative, it was little more than a bold vision on paper. Pakistan was facing crippling energy shortages, inadequate infrastructure and stagnant growth. Few could imagine how profoundly the CPEC would transform the country's economic landscape within just a decade. Yet today, that vision has become a living reality, reshaping Pakistan's connectivity, energy security and development outlook while deepening our strategic partnership with China.

\n

The first phase of the CPEC has delivered what once seemed unimaginable. In energy, 17 major projects with a combined capacity of 8,904 megawatts were completed, supported by two coal mines and the country's first 660 kV HVDC transmission line, representing nearly $18 billion of investment. These projects helped end the crippling power shortages that had darkened homes and stifled industries. The long-overlooked coal reserves of Thar are now producing electricity, powering factories and households, and providing Pakistan with much-needed energy security. For millions of citizens, the CPEC today means light in their homes, jobs in their communities, and renewed hope in their future.

\n

Beyond energy, the CPEC's transport infrastructure has connected the country like never before. Eight major projects worth $6.7 billion have already added 888 kilometers of modern highways and motorways, while another 853 km are under construction. Among them, the Havelian — Thakot section of the Karakoram Highway stands out as a flagship, internationally recognized for its excellence and strategic significance. These highways are more than stretches of asphalt — they are arteries of commerce that reduce travel times, open new markets, and bring previously isolated regions into the fold of national development. Alongside roads, the 820-km optical fiber cable from Khunjerab Pass to Rawalpindi has given Pakistan its first land-based digital connectivity with China, while the Orange Line Metro Train has introduced modern and efficient public transport in Lahore. Step by step, the CPEC has transformed the way Pakistanis travel, trade and connect.

\n

Nowhere is this transformation more visible than in Gwadar. Once a quiet fishing town, it is steadily evolving into Pakistan's maritime gateway. The port and its surrounding infrastructure, supported by grant-based Chinese projects, are reshaping the socio-economic landscape of Balochistan. A state-of-the-art hospital, a vocational training institute, a water desalination plant, solar home systems and the new Gwadar International Airport are not just facilities — they are instruments of inclusion, improving the lives of local communities while positioning Gwadar as a hub of regional trade and connectivity. What was once a distant dream on the map is becoming a tangible reality on the ground.

\n

These achievements of the CPEC Phase-I, however, are not an end in themselves. Foundations alone do not build a house; they only prepare the ground. The next decade of the CPEC must go beyond laying infrastructure to driving industrialization, creating jobs, boosting exports and empowering people. The promise of Phase-II of the CPEC is to transform connectivity into commerce, infrastructure into opportunity, and partnership into shared prosperity.

\n

The road map for this transformation is being framed at the 14th Joint Cooperation Committee meeting of the CPEC.Pakistan and China will align the next phase with Pakistan's National Economic Transformation Plan, built on the framework of the 5Es: Exports, E-Pakistan, Energy/Environment and Equity &Empowerment. To deliver on these priorities, the CPEC Phase-II will advance through five new corridors of cooperation: growth, innovation, green, livelihood and regional connectivity. Each of these represents not just a project stream, but a vision of how Pakistan and China can shape a sustainable and inclusive future together.

\n

Already, progress is visible. Special economic zones (SEZs) are being developed, offering tax incentives, customs exemptions and modern infrastructure to attract investment. With affordable labor, a strategic location and improving energy and logistics, Pakistan is emerging as a competitive investment destination at the crossroad of South Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East. These SEZs will not only bring in investment but also integrate Pakistani businesses into global value chains, create thousands of jobs, and expand exports.

\n

Agriculture, too, is beginning a new chapter. Pakistan has begun exporting red chillies, sesame, beef and animal skins to China, marking the rise of agriexports under the CPEC. But the real opportunity lies in modernization. By introducing advanced technologies, improving research, and applying modern farming practices, we can significantly increase yields, reduce post-harvest losses and improve farmer incomes. Collaboration with China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, where agricultural technology is highly developed, offers great promise for accelerating this transformation. A modernized agriculture sector will not only ensure food security but also open new export markets, creating opportunities for rural communities and strengthening the national economy.

\n

Technology and innovation will serve as another pillar of the next phase. Dedicated joint working groups on science and technology and information technology have been formed to drive collaboration in cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, e-commerce, and digital connectivity. Investments in fiberoptic networks, digital skills training, and e-governance will build the foundations of a knowledge-based economy. For Pakistan's youth, this means not only competing globally in the industries of the future but also ensuring that the benefits of digital transformation reach every citizen.

\n

The shift from government-to-government projects to business-to-business partnerships will define the CPEC Phase-II. Private capital, entrepreneurial energy and technological innovation must now become central drivers of the corridor. This transformation is already taking shape. In the recent Pak-China B2B Investment Conference in Beijing, nearly 800 firms from both countries participated, resulting in joint ventures and MoUs worth $8.5 billion. Such partnerships demonstrate the vast opportunities for collaboration and innovation beyond traditional state-led projects.

\n

To succeed, however, inclusivity and sustainability must be at the heart of the CPEC's next phase. The benefits of this partnership must reach not just the major cities, but every province, district and household. Equity and empowerment will ensure that prosperity is shared widely, while environmental safeguards will guarantee that growth is climate-resilient and sustainable. Pakistan has also taken strong measures to ensure the security of CPEC projects and personnel, recognizing that peace and stability are the essential foundations for progress. Our commitment to providing a safe, enabling environment for investment and development remains unwavering.

\n

The first decade of the CPEC gave Pakistan new roads, new power plants and a new port. The next decade will give us new industries, new technologies, new markets, and above all, create new opportunities for our people. It will create jobs, expand exports, strengthen sustainability and deepen regional integration. As Pakistan and China enter this next chapter, the challenge is not just to build more infrastructure, but to turn infrastructure into opportunity, and opportunity into prosperity.

\n

The first decade of the CPEC changed Pakistan's landscape. The next decade can change its destiny. Together, Pakistan and China must ensure that the CPEC is not just remembered as a corridor of concrete, but celebrated as a corridor of hope, progress, and shared prosperity for our two nations and for the wider region.

\n

A smartphone can now connect small farmers to big markets, and a single broadband line can add "digital wings" to the special produce of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, helping them reach dining tables across the world. Last year, Xinjiang's online retail sales hit 72.33 billion yuan ($10.17 billion), up 13.62 percent year-on-year. Rural e-commerce, in particular, performed exceptionally well, with rural online sales growing by 18.18 percent, and farm products' sales rising by 14.08 percent, highlighting Xinjiang's huge potential in digital commerce.

\n

That rural e-commerce has taken off for good is evident from Xinjiang's decision to intensively implement its "digital countryside" policy. Farmers now increasingly rely on platforms like Taobao, JD.com and Pinduoduo, as well as livestreaming channels on Douyin, Kuaishou and Xiaohongshu, or RedNote, to sell their produce. Especially, livestreaming has become their new "farm tool". The logistical problem, once the biggest barrier preventing farmers from accessing markets, has been solved with highways reaching farmlands even in remote areas, and cold-chain logistics, rail-road links, and even air freight transporting fresh produce across China overnight.

\n

Xinjiang now has more airports than any other province or region in China, and has extended 5G base stations, cold storage, and pre-cooling facilities to the grassroots level. That means Korla pears, Aksu apples, Luntai apricots, and Atushi figs can be, with one click, shipped across the Tianshan Mountains, and put on dining tables nationwide and abroad.

\n

In a livestreaming session, a simple "click the link" instantly connects remote orchards to global markets. County-level e-commerce service centers and livestream incubators turn online traffic into orders, and orders into income — consolidating the gains of poverty alleviation while creating new jobs and income channels. Indeed, digital technology is weaving Xinjiang's fields into the "cloud", painting a new picture of rural revitalization.

\n

Livestreaming hasn't just expanded sales channels; it has also prompted farmers to standardize and upgrade their products. Take Korla for instance.

\n

Known as China's "pear city", it has integrated remote sensing, GIS, GPS, automation, and communications technology, and built a big-data platform for pear farming.

\n

The system monitors production, manages data and guides the entire value chain. Korla's pear industry practices smart farming, does digital trading and provides integrated industrial services, boosting efficiency, brand value and global reach. Today, Korla pears are exported to more than 20 countries and regions.

\n

The digital economy is emerging as a new engine, driving Xinjiang's development. It has not only enhanced the value of "original" farm specialties but also triggered systemic upgrading across industry chains, infrastructure and the talent structures. By enabling the seamless flow of data, it connects logistics, finance and human resources, restructuring the entire chain of production, supply, sales and services. This offers a rare chance for Xinjiang's remote areas to leapfrog onto a faster track of growth.

\n

Specifically, digitalization is unlocking five types of potential for Xinjiang's development. The first is market potential. The digital economy is breaking geographical barriers, directly connecting supply with real-time demand, and unleashing hidden consumption capacity.

\n

The second is value potential. Data as a new production factor enables graded pricing and branded sales, ensuring "good quality at good prices" for Xinjiang's farm products.

\n

The third is structural potential. Digital platforms are facilitating the upgrade of logistics, cold storage, processing and finance, linking agriculture, industry and services.

\n

The fourth is human potential. Livestreaming, e-commerce operations and supply-chain management create new jobs, encouraging youth to return home and reshape the rural knowledge base.

\n

And the fifth is openness potential. With cross-border e-commerce, data flows and cold-chain corridors, Xinjiang's agricultural specialties are embedding themselves into global value chains. As cold-chain logistics, talent pools and industry standards improve, Xinjiang's digital economy will gain greater momentum, powering regional development and contributing to the broader goal of common prosperity.

\n

Xinjiang's story proves that the digital economy is not the preserve of coastal cities; it can flourish even in mountain valleys and the heart of deserts. For local farmers, data have become new inputs, smartphones new farm tools, and livestreaming a new form of labor. Rural areas of Xinjiang are no longer just recipients of support but also active partners in cooperation, no longer only suppliers of raw materials but also sources of emerging brands.

\n

The snowmelt from the Tianshan Mountains continues to flow, but through fiber-optic cables flows something just as vital: the promise of shared prosperity.

\n

Thirty years ago, 186 countries met in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the first Social Summit for Social Development. The gathering was the largest meeting of world leaders ever at the time. By the end of the summit, their agenda was clear: the challenges faced by our societies are global and so are the solutions.

\n

In response, governments vowed to put people at the center of global development. They recognized that social justice must be the foundation for economic progress if progress is to be sustainable. It means ensuring that people, regardless of gender, nationality, background or place of birth, have the right to live in dignity, with equal opportunities to work, thrive and succeed. Societies built on fairness work better, trust more and grow stronger.

\n

The consensus of the summit became the cornerstone for the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Since 2015, the SDGs have been the blueprint for achieving a socially just, peaceful and sustainable world. The deadline for their realization has been set for 2030.

\n

Since that first summit, our world has changed, in many ways for the better. A new International Labour Organization report, "The State of Social Justice", shows that extreme poverty is down from 39 percent to 10 percent of the global population. Child labor for under-14-year-olds has been cut by half and, for the first time in history, more than half the world has some form of social protection, such as a pension or unemployment insurance.

\n

But despite decades of efforts, the report makes clear that major disparities remain. A person's place of birth still determines more than half of his or her lifetime's earnings. Globally, more than 800 million people survive on less than $3 a day. That is why achieving the 2030 SDG targets is in jeopardy. For example, for SDG 8 on decent work and economic growth, we lag well behind, having met only two-thirds — or 66 percent — of the indicators.

\n

If we wish to improve living conditions for everyone and achieve social justice, expeditiously achieving the SDGs is crucial. Decent work is a key thread that helps to tie the SDGs together, because decent work is more than making a living: it is a barometer of how well we are doing in society as a whole, including health, education, equality, and responsible consumption and production. When work is productive, paid fairly, safe, equitable and inclusive, freely chosen and with rights, we have social justice.

\n

But decent work does not just "happen". History shows that without strong institutions productivity gains do not translate into better lives. Institutions strengthen basic human rights, such as the rights to education and to a healthy environment, and ensure equal opportunities, fair distribution, and a voice for both workers and employers. Social dialogue is the most effective way to balance the interests of workers and employers and help make growth equitable.

\n

Right now, our institutions are being tested. Three massive transitions are reshaping the world of work everywhere: the impact of a hotter planet and the move to a greener economy, the digital revolution, and demographic change. These transformations are creating new jobs and destroying old ones. They have the potential to create fresh opportunities, but they also risk deepening existing divides. How these changes will play out depends largely on the choices that societies make today.

\n

In November 2025, the second World Social Summit will be held in Doha, Qatar. This global gathering will once again bring together government representatives, workers, employers and civil society — three and a half decades after the first summit. It represents a critical moment to turn past pledges into real change.

We must reaffirm the promise made in Copenhagen: that social justice and inclusive economic development are everyone's business and in everyone's interest. But above all, we must take decisive action. The ILO-led Global Coalition for Social Justice offers a platform to help move us in the right direction. Already, it is bringing together governments, employers' and workers' organizations, and other partners to accelerate action and cooperation toward achieving social justice and decent work for all.

Thirty years ago, 186 countries met in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the first Social Summit for Social Development. The gathering was the largest meeting of world leaders ever at the time. By the end of the summit, their agenda was clear: the challenges faced by our societies are global and so are the solutions.

\n

In response, governments vowed to put people at the center of global development. They recognized that social justice must be the foundation for economic progress if progress is to be sustainable. It means ensuring that people, regardless of gender, nationality, background or place of birth, have the right to live in dignity, with equal opportunities to work, thrive and succeed. Societies built on fairness work better, trust more and grow stronger.

\n

The consensus of the summit became the cornerstone for the United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Since 2015, the SDGs have been the blueprint for achieving a socially just, peaceful and sustainable world. The deadline for their realization has been set for 2030.

\n

Since that first summit, our world has changed, in many ways for the better. A new International Labour Organization report, "The State of Social Justice", shows that extreme poverty is down from 39 percent to 10 percent of the global population. Child labor for under-14-year-olds has been cut by half and, for the first time in history, more than half the world has some form of social protection, such as a pension or unemployment insurance.

\n

But despite decades of efforts, the report makes clear that major disparities remain. A person's place of birth still determines more than half of his or her lifetime's earnings. Globally, more than 800 million people survive on less than $3 a day. That is why achieving the 2030 SDG targets is in jeopardy. For example, for SDG 8 on decent work and economic growth, we lag well behind, having met only two-thirds — or 66 percent — of the indicators.

\n

If we wish to improve living conditions for everyone and achieve social justice, expeditiously achieving the SDGs is crucial.

The European Union's growing use of anti-subsidy and anti-dumping investigations, particularly those targeting Chinese companies, is drawing criticism. While Brussels frames the measures as necessary to ensure fair competition, critics warn they could undermine trade relations, raise costs for consumers, and slow the green transition.

\n

In recent months, the European Commission has launched probes into the import of chemicals, automobiles, pharmaceuticals, and batteries under its new Foreign Subsidies Regulation. Officials say the aim is to counter state support from non-EU countries that distorts competition, but the timing and scope of the measures have raised concerns over whether they are safeguards or protectionism.

\n

Horst Loechel, professor of economics at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, said the EU's defensive trade posture runs counter to its interests as one of the world's strongest exporters. "As a strong export region with the highest trade surplus in 2024, it would be much better for the EU to have fewer, not more, protectionist measures," he said. "In the fight for free trade, the EU should be partnering with China."

\n

He argued the bloc would be better off implementing the Mario Draghi report's recommendations, which emphasized strengthening innovation and industrial capacity rather than shielding producers from rivals.

\n

Tim Clissold, author of Mr China and Chinese Rules, said the EU overlooks why Chinese firms have become competitive. He pointed to EU-published data showing that outside China, developing economies have virtually no representation among the world's top 500 corporate R&D spenders.

\n

"That shows you the complete dominance of Western firms in R&D — except for China," he said. "China has 93 companies in that ranking. Yet people still say the only reason Chinese firms succeed is subsidies. That's simply not true."

\n

He credited China's joined-up approach between industry and academia, large R&D budgets, industrial clustering, and above all, consistent long-term policy. "Western countries can't commit to a 20-year project when elections change everything every few years," he said.

\n

Questions over consistency have long dogged EU trade policy. WTO rulings against subsidies for Airbus and sugar exports fueled perceptions of double standards. "Still today the EU is subsidizing certain industries like chips and EVs," Loechel noted. "In some cases, the EU is applying double standards."

\n

Omer Baris, associate professor of economics at Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan, said this weakens Brussels' case. "The EU subsidizes its own green industry, but that is a blow to the fairness argument. The EU complains about anti-fairness when others do it, but when they do it, it's fairness. It's selective retaliation."

\n

Gerhard Stahl, former secretary-general of the EU Committee of the Regions, said subsidies are not unique to Europe. "Both Airbus and Boeing have benefited from public funding that conflicted with WTO rules," he said. "The difference is that in the EU's case, such subsidies were the exception, whereas in the US, public support through military procurement or protective legislation is more entrenched." Agriculture, he added, has long been treated as a special case in Europe, where food security and farmer protection outweigh liberalization.

\n

Fueling inflation

\n

Many experts warn that tariffs and duties act as hidden taxes, with costs borne by European households rather than foreign producers. Loechel said tariffs undermine decarbonization and fuel inflation. Baris was blunt: "If we impose tariffs on China, the Chinese do not pay a dime. Tariffs are paid by the consumers buying those products; they're tools against ourselves."

\n

Pedro Brinca, an associate professor of macroeconomics at Nova School of Business & Economics in Portugal, stressed that investigations must be rule-based and not politically motivated. "Those are values of the EU, but also the last thing we want is to signal the world that the EU does not abide by principles of the rule of law and fair treatment," he said.

\n

The measures are already reshaping EU-China dynamics. Baris predicted they will accelerate the shift toward "managed economic rivalry", replacing the WTO-era vision of open trade with sector-by-sector contests for market share. Retaliation from Beijing, he suggested, may target vulnerable EU exports such as agriculture. Rather than full decoupling, he said tensions may result in "controlled entanglement", with Chinese firms increasing local production inside Europe to bypass barriers.

\n

Stahl said the test will be whether both sides are willing to negotiate rules and accept dispute settlement when conflicts arise. "The EU and China are still committed to a rules-based international system," he said. "The reality check comes when concrete conflicts have to be solved."

\n

Brinca warned that escalation would harm both sides. "We all lose," he said. "Competition should drive innovation and gains for consumers, investors and governments. Trade can be a force for peace, connecting people and building bridges. But the current geopolitical reality is impeding the process at everyone's loss."

\n

The EU's recent investigations reflect a shifting global trade environment in which industrial policy and geopolitical rivalry increasingly overlap. While Brussels views these tools as essential for defending the single market, critics warn of collateral damage: strained trade relations, higher costs for consumers, slower climate action, and erosion of the EU's credibility as a defender of open, rules-based trade.

\n

As the EU navigates this new era of "controlled entanglement" with China, it faces a choice: whether to define fairness and competitiveness in ways that strengthen its economy while keeping markets open, or to drift toward protectionism that may deliver short-term relief but long-term stagnation.

\n

I went in search of traces of George Hogg in Harpenden, a small town just north of London, where the British journalist and author of I See a New China was born more than a century ago.

\n

His birthplace, Red Gables, is now a private home; his alma mater, St George's School, bears its motto "Aim Higher" carved into the main building; the Silver Cup pub, where Hogg had a farewell drink with friends before leaving England, still buzzes with locals. And since late July, a small but evocative exhibition dedicated to Hogg's life story has been on display at the Harpenden Museum.

\n

I first heard Hogg's name earlier this year when the newly translated Chinese edition of Blades of Grass: The Story of George Aylwin Hogg was launched. The book chronicles his short yet extraordinary life — one that took him from this quiet English town to the heart of wartime China.

\n

Born in 1915 and growing up in Harpenden, Hogg set off for China in 1938 with his aunt, the renowned pacifist Muriel Lester. It was supposed to be a "gap year" adventure for the young graduate from the University of Oxford. But in Shanghai, he saw throngs of refugees and heard reports of the Nanjing Massacre. Deeply shaken, he decided to stay — and help.

\n

For the next seven years, Hogg threw himself into the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45). He began as a journalist, filing reports for multiple British and US outlets that exposed Japanese atrocities.

\n

"Hogg's work wasn't just about battles and military strategy," said Li Linxi, a researcher at the Communication University of China who has studied his journalism. "He wrote about the responses of ordinary people … and how, in the face of war, they abandoned indifference, united, and carried out production and self-rescue, becoming 'truly meaningful people'."

\n

From 1939 onward, Hogg served as "foreign secretary" for the Northwest office of the Chinese Industrial Cooperative movement, organizing production of essential supplies and raising funds. Later, he became headmaster of the Bailie School in Shuangshipu, Shaanxi province, which provided vocational education to young people, many of whom were war orphans. The goal: to give them skills, confidence, and hope amid a brutal war.

\n

It was through these experiences — living and working alongside ordinary Chinese people — that Hogg wrote I See a New China, published in the United States in 1944. In its preface, he described Northwest China as "an ideal place to watch the New China taking shape".

\n

But Hogg never lived to see that New China. In July 1945, he injured his foot while playing sports with students in Shandan, Gansu province. The wound became infected, and he died of tetanus within days, at just 30 years old. In his final time, he asked friends to read aloud from Edgar Snow's Red Star Over China and wrote a final note: "Give my all to Bailie School."

\n

This July 22 — exactly 80 years after his passing — Harpenden Museum opened its exhibition Son of Harpenden, Hero in China: 1915-45.

\n

David Kendall, the exhibition curator, told me that while Hogg's memory is revered throughout China, he remains little known in England — even in his hometown.

\n

I first met Kendall in Lanzhou, Gansu province, in April, where he was retracing Hogg's journey across China — from Shanghai to Nanjing, and from Shaanxi to Gansu.

\n

"It was astonishing to see how highly George Hogg is regarded in China," he recalled. "We visited museums and exhibitions dedicated to him across the country, and attended academic symposia in Beijing and Lanzhou about his contributions."

\n

Teresa Heritage, the mayor of St Albans, remarked at the opening, "It may strike you as odd that a local man who achieved fame in China is so little known here in England — even here in Harpenden. … I hope that the steps taken to convey George's story to the English people enable us to gain a better understanding of Chinese culture and history."

\n

Hogg's nephew, Mark Thomas has taken on the mission of telling his uncle's story. Though now based in Finland, Thomas returned to Harpenden for the opening and spoke to a crowd.

\n

Sitting beside me was Diana, who has lived in Harpenden for over 50 years. She leaned over and whispered, "What a remarkable young man. We should always remember him."

\n

I know I will. For me, Hogg is more than a historical figure. He is an example of what journalism can and should be. He reminds me to go to the people and tell the world the New China that I see.

The Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco hosted a photo exhibition and reception on the autumn equinox to celebrate the harvest season and mark the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

\n

Around 300 guests from across California, including State Treasurer Fiona Ma and San Francisco Chief of Protocol Penny Coulter, attended Tuesday's event. They expressed their strong support for deepening ties between California and China, noting that consistent exchanges and cooperation bring mutual benefits.

\n

Walking alongside guests at the exhibition, titled Seventy-Six Glorious Years, Together Towards a Shared Future, Consul General Zhang Jianmin smiled broadly as he stopped to share stories behind the photographs. The exhibition was organized into four chapters.

\n

Zhang highlighted how living standards in China have improved dramatically over the past seven decades. Life expectancy has risen from 35 years in 1949 to 79 today, while access to education and healthcare has expanded. He cited high-speed rail, 5G networks and the Beidou navigation system as examples of China's rapid innovation.

\n

"Among all these achievements, I would like to emphasize our success in poverty alleviation," Zhang said, pointing to images of rural Guizhou province. "China has lifted 800 million people out of poverty, accounting for more than 70 percent of global poverty reduction. By the end of 2020, we had eliminated absolute poverty, achieving the United Nations'2030 poverty reduction goal a full decade ahead of schedule."

\n

Zhang also underscored the history of China-US cooperation, recalling their joint fight in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the global fight against fascism.

\n

Enduring symbols

\n

"Over 80 years ago, in that epic war that determined the future of humanity, China tied down the bulk of Japanese forces, suffering more than 35 million casualties and making an indelible contribution to the Allied victory," Zhang said.

\n

Treasurer Fiona Ma spoke personally about that history, holding a medal honoring her father. Her grandfather and his brothers were military leaders during the 1940s. "My father was nine years old and remembered the Flying Tigers flying overhead," Ma said.

\n

Ma has led numerous delegations to China over the years.

\n

"I met Consul General Zhang 25 years ago," she said, noting that many Americans have witnessed China's progress firsthand through such exchanges.

\n

"Hopefully, it will help overcome some of the politics of the adults and allow the younger generation to carry forward a relationship that benefits both sides."

The Chinese Consulate General in San Francisco hosted a photo exhibition and reception on the autumn equinox to celebrate the harvest season and mark the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

\n

Around 300 guests from across California, including State Treasurer Fiona Ma and San Francisco Chief of Protocol Penny Coulter, attended Tuesday's event. They expressed their strong support for deepening ties between California and China, noting that consistent exchanges and cooperation bring mutual benefits.

\n

Walking alongside guests at the exhibition, titled Seventy-Six Glorious Years, Together Towards a Shared Future, Consul General Zhang Jianmin smiled broadly as he stopped to share stories behind the photographs. The exhibition was organized into four chapters.

\n

Zhang highlighted how living standards in China have improved dramatically over the past seven decades. Life expectancy has risen from 35 years in 1949 to 79 today, while access to education and healthcare has expanded. He cited high-speed rail, 5G networks and the Beidou navigation system as examples of China's rapid innovation.

\n

"Among all these achievements, I would like to emphasize our success in poverty alleviation," Zhang said, pointing to images of rural Guizhou province. "China has lifted 800 million people out of poverty, accounting for more than 70 percent of global poverty reduction. By the end of 2020, we had eliminated absolute poverty, achieving the United Nations'2030 poverty reduction goal a full decade ahead of schedule."

\n

Zhang also underscored the history of China-US cooperation, recalling their joint fight in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the global fight against fascism.

\n

Enduring symbols

\n

"Over 80 years ago, in that epic war that determined the future of humanity, China tied down the bulk of Japanese forces, suffering more than 35 million casualties and making an indelible contribution to the Allied victory," Zhang said. He recalled the stories of the Flying Tigers, the Doolittle Raid rescue and Stilwell Road as enduring symbols of shared sacrifice.

\n

Treasurer Fiona Ma spoke personally about that history, holding a medal honoring her father. Her grandfather and his brothers were military leaders during the 1940s. "My father was nine years old and remembered the Flying Tigers flying overhead," Ma said.

\n

Ma has led numerous delegations to China over the years.

\n

"I met Consul General Zhang 25 years ago," she said, noting that many Americans have witnessed China's progress firsthand through such exchanges.

\n

Ma called on US students to visit China and see the country for themselves, while also welcoming Chinese students to study in the US.

\n

Malawi's former President Peter Mutharika has won the presidential election with 56.8 percent of the vote, securing a decisive lead over incumbent Lazarus Chakwera, the country's electoral commission announced Wednesday. The president-elect, contesting on the Democratic Progressive Party ticket, secured nearly 3.04 million votes in the 17-candidate race on Sept 16, while Chakwera of the Malawi Congress Party garnered around 1.77 million votes, Malawi Electoral Commission Chairwoman Annabel Mtalimanja announced at a news briefing in Lilongwe, the capital. The 85-year-old Mutharika obtained 56.8 percent of the valid votes cast, surpassing the 50-percent-plus-one threshold required for an outright victory, while Chakwera, 70, trailed with 33 percent of ballots, according to the MEC.

Israel has intensified its attacks in Gaza, killing more than 100 people in the past 24 hours, and continuously disregarding calls for a ceasefire as world leaders gather in New York for the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

\n

The military's overnight and early Thursday morning attacks across the Palestinian territory killed at least 15 people, including children in a family home sheltering displaced people in the central al-Zawayda area, Al Jazeera reported.

\n

Four people were killed in a house in southern Khan Younis city, while many others were wounded in both attacks.

\n

Israel's retaliatory aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has resulted in more than 65,000 Palestinian deaths, with thousands feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams because of Israeli attacks, Wafa News Agency reported on Thursday.

\n

A summit between United States President Donald Trump and the leaders of eight states representing the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, discussed ending the atrocities in Gaza on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session.

\n

In a joint statement following the meeting, the Arab and Islamic leaders highlighted the "unbearable situation in the Gaza Strip, including the humanitarian catastrophe and high human toll, as well as its serious consequences for the region and impact on the Muslim world as a whole".

\n

They reiterated their common position, rejecting forced displacement and emphasizing the need to allow those who have left to return.

\n

The leaders also emphasized "the need to end the war and achieve an immediate ceasefire that would ensure the release of the hostages and allow the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid as the first step toward a just and lasting peace".

\n

They underscored the need to finalize the details of a stabilization plan while ensuring stability in the West Bank and Jerusalem's Holy Sites, and supported the Palestinian Authority's reform efforts.

\n

"Participants affirmed the need to ensure a comprehensive plan for reconstruction in Gaza, based on the Arab and OIC plan, as well as security arrangements, with international assistance supporting the Palestinian leadership, and expressed commitment to work together to ensure the success of plans and to rebuild the lives of Palestinians in Gaza," the statement added.

\n

Two-state solution

\n

Addressing the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, Spain's King Felipe VI said the international community must assume its responsibility to quickly realize a viable two-state solution.

\n

"We cannot keep silent, nor look the other way, when confronted with so much devastation," he said, condemning "abhorrent acts that are the very opposite of everything that this forum represents".

\n

Alexander Stubb, president of Finland, said "a stable Palestine will also significantly benefit the security of Israel".

\n

Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Tuesday that she is not opposed to recognizing a Palestinian state.

\n

"I'm not opposed to recognizing Palestine, but we need to establish our priorities," Meloni told journalists in New York, prior to addressing the UN General Assembly on Wednesday.

\n

She said her ruling coalition would introduce a motion in parliament setting two conditions for recognizing the State of Palestine — "freeing the hostages and, of course, the exclusion of Hamas from all government processes in Palestine".

\n

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed some Western countries for recognizing Palestinian statehood, saying the moves do not obligate Israel in any way and reiterated that there "will be no Palestinian state".

\n

At Jerusalem's Ben Gurion International Airport, before departing for New York, where he will also address the UN, Netanyahu said he would "tell our truth — citizens of Israel, the truth of the Israel Defense Forces, of our state".

\n

In Washington, Netanyahu said that he will meet with Trump for the fourth time.

\n

Dina Yulianti Sulaeman, director of the Indonesia Center for Middle East Studies, told China Daily that Netanyahu's statement appears to be a political strategy to secure his position before his speech at the UN.

\n

"Netanyahu's stance actually undermines Trump because it shows his powerlessness in the face of Israel," she said.

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian shows pages of a book titled Killed by Israel as he addresses the 80th UN General Assembly in New York on Wednesday.

\n

Iran's president reiterated on Wednesday Tehran has "never sought and will never seek to build a nuclear bomb" as the country is facing "snapback" sanctions on its nuclear program.

\n

Speaking at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran does not seek nuclear weapons.

\n

"This is our belief based on the edict issued by the Supreme Leader and by religious authorities. Therefore, we never sought weapons of mass destruction, nor will we ever seek them," he said.

\n

His remarks came after the United States in June carried out attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

\n

Pezeshkian said the strikes, launched "at a time when we were treading the path of diplomatic negotiations", constituted "a grave betrayal of diplomacy and a subversion of efforts toward the establishment of stability and peace".

\n

In a televised speech on Tuesday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei again stressed that the country has no nuclear weapons on its agenda by any means. In 2003, he issued a religious decree, or fatwa, forbidding nuclear weapons.

\n

The bombardment of Iranian nuclear sites could not hinder Iran's uranium enrichment, Khamenei said, because producing it has become an indigenous science. He added that Iran has hundreds of experts on enrichment, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

\n

Khamenei explained that uranium enrichment is beneficial to people's lives, as it has applications in various fields, including agriculture, electricity, and the preservation of natural resources.

\n

However, talks with the US will come with harm to Iran, he said, while Washington has made excessive demands, including giving up on enrichment and missiles.

\n

The US government "is a liar and hypocritical", resorting to intimidation and threats to achieve its objectives, Khamenei said.

\n

"Iran has not given in to pressures, nor will it in the future."

\n

Pezeshkian said France, Germany and the United Kingdom — the three European signatories to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal — had no legal basis for trying to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran.

\n

The three countries invoked the deal's "snapback" provision on Aug 28 by notifying the UN Security Council that Iran was failing to comply with its commitments.

\n

The snapback mechanism allows UN sanctions to be reimposed within 30 days if Iran is deemed in breach of the nuclear accord, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA.The sanctions are expected to take effect on Saturday.

\n

'Means of pressure'

\n

Pezeshkian said the three European countries, having failed to bring the Iranian people "to their knees, at the behest of" the US, last week "sought by means of pressure, coercion, imposition and manifest abuse to reinstate against Iran the Security Council resolutions that had already been terminated".

\n

"All of this was in pursuit of nothing less than the destruction of the very JCPOA which they themselves had once held as the foremost achievement of multilateral diplomacy," he added.

\n

Meanwhile, China and Russia are circulating a draft resolution at the Security Council seeking a technical extension of Resolution 2231, which endorsed the JCPOA and outlined the process for lifting UN sanctions.

\n

In a phone call with International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi on Friday, Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said Tehran would not accept "political action and unfair pressure" over its nuclear program, the Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

\n

Pezeshkian also condemned Israel's aggression against Qatar.

\n

"True security is not achieved through force but through confidence building, mutual respect, regional convergence and multilateralism grounded in international laws," he said.

The long-running dispute between the European Union and major tech companies has taken another twist after Apple demanded that the bloc scrap its Digital Markets Act.

\n

The DMA was introduced in 2022 with the specific aim of curbing the market dominance of major tech firms — many of which are from the United States — to ensure more competition for consumer benefit.

\n

It contains provision for fines of up to 10 percent of global revenue for companies that do not comply with its terms. However, several US tech firms, and also President Donald Trump, have said the act discriminates against US companies.

\n

The latest trans-Atlantic flare-up occurs in the aftermath of the tariff dispute, which has dominated world trade for most of the year and has resulted in many EU exports to the US now being subject to 15 percent tariffs.

\n

"The DMA should be repealed while a more appropriate fit for purpose legislative instrument is put in place," Apple said in a statement. Some new features on the company's products were being held up because of the need to comply with the DMA's obligation that products should be interoperable, meaning they can also work with those made by rival manufacturers, it said.

\n

"Despite our concerns with the DMA, teams across Apple are spending thousands of hours to bring new features to the European Union while meeting the law's requirements. But it's become clear that we can't solve every problem the DMA creates," it added.

\n

Heavy fines

\n

In April, Apple was fined 500 million euros ($587 million) by the EU after an inquiry into whether its rules stopped application developers from offering consumers cheaper products outside the App Store.

\n

The company later changed its rules to avoid further sanctions, while also protesting that the regulations gave consumers a worse experience, which is the opposite of the legislation's intended goal, and made doing business harder.

\n

Facebook's parent company, Meta, was also heavily fined over its data collection policy, with European Commissioner Teresa Ribera saying both companies had "fallen short of compliance with the DMA by implementing measures that reinforce the dependence of business users and consumers on their platforms".

\n

"As a result, we have taken firm but balanced enforcement action against both companies, based on clear and predictable rules," she said.

\n

Trump has already accused the EU of targeting US companies, a claim that EU tech spokesman Thomas Regnier said he could "firmly rebut".

The DMA was introduced in 2022 with the specific aim of curbing the market dominance of major tech firms — many of which are from the United States — to ensure more competition for consumer benefit.

\n

It contains provision for fines of up to 10 percent of global revenue for companies that do not comply with its terms. However, several US tech firms, and also President Donald Trump, have said the act discriminates against US companies.

\n

The latest trans-Atlantic flare-up occurs in the aftermath of the tariff dispute, which has dominated world trade for most of the year and has resulted in many EU exports to the US now being subject to 15 percent tariffs.

\n

"The DMA should be repealed while a more appropriate fit for purpose legislative instrument is put in place," Apple said in a statement. Some new features on the company's products were being held up because of the need to comply with the DMA's obligation that products should be interoperable, meaning they can also work with those made by rival manufacturers, it said.

\n

"Despite our concerns with the DMA, teams across Apple are spending thousands of hours to bring new features to the European Union while meeting the law's requirements. But it's become clear that we can't solve every problem the DMA creates," it added.

\n

Heavy fines

\n

In April, Apple was fined 500 million euros ($587 million) by the EU after an inquiry into whether its rules stopped application developers from offering consumers cheaper products outside the App Store.

\n

The company later changed its rules to avoid further sanctions, while also protesting that the regulations gave consumers a worse experience, which is the opposite of the legislation's intended goal, and made doing business harder.

\n

Facebook's parent company, Meta, was also heavily fined over its data collection policy, with European Commissioner Teresa Ribera saying both companies had "fallen short of compliance with the DMA by implementing measures that reinforce the dependence of business users and consumers on their platforms".

\n

"As a result, we have taken firm but balanced enforcement action against both companies, based on clear and predictable rules," she said.

\n

Trump has already accused the EU of targeting US companies, a claim that EU tech spokesman Thomas Regnier said he could "firmly rebut".

The documentary Hotline Beijing premiered in Los Angeles on Monday as part of its international promotional and exchange event, with support from Golden Screen Awards, giving US audiences a closer look at how China's capital addresses citizens' needs through its innovative "12345" citizen service hotline.

\n

Produced by the China Central Newsreel and Documentary Film Studio under China Media Group, and co-produced by Beijing Gehua Media Group and Beijing Gehua Mobile Television Company, the documentary uses the hotline as a narrative thread to tell real stories about community issues and the people working behind the scenes to resolve them.

\n

"Our film is centered on the innovative practice of Beijing's' Responding to Complaints Immediately' reform," chief director Xu Jieqin said.

\n

"Through real-life footage and the voices of ordinary people, we wanted to show how this hotline reflects the common governance challenges faced by megacities around the world," Xu said.

\n

"What we aimed for was to create a vivid scroll of daily life — stories that are close to people's hearts, and to show how a single hotline in Beijing has helped catalyze reform in the governance of a city of more than 20 million residents."

\n

The documentary collects seven stories, ranging from neighborhood parking management and elevator installation in old residential buildings, to the personal growth of hotline operators, emergency response and even visits by international journalists.

\n

It presents specific community stories while showcasing Beijing's broader explorations in agile, resilient, proactive, law-based, diversified and digital governance.

\n

Kim Holland, a US documentary filmmaker who hosted the premiere, said the film offers valuable lessons for US audiences.

\n

"The citizen service hotline gives all Beijing residents a place to call whenever they have a complaint so they can register it, and the team will work on solving it," Holland said.

\n

"It's good for Americans to see that China has instituted such a system for urban problems."

\n

Bridging cultures

\n

China's Deputy Consul General Li Zhiqiang said films are a bridge between the US and China.

\n

"Screenings of Chinese and American films can transcend differences in culture, religion and ideology, and effectively bring our people closer together," he said.

\n

"There is solid potential for China-US film exchanges. Our industries are highly complementary and mutually beneficial for the two largest film markets."

\n

For Rance Pow, CEO of Artisan Gateway in Los Angeles and who lived in China for 10 years, the film's appeal lies in shared experiences.

\n

"Hotline Beijing captures humanity, the struggles and routines of daily life in a way that is deeply relatable, whether it's parking spaces, medical care or potholes," he said.

\n

"It shows a society that cares for itself, and the universal desire for prosperous, harmonious communities. The film also humanizes the '12345' hotline staff as citizens who care for their neighborhoods and the people around them."

\n

Actor and producer Pete Allman, who has visited China several times, praised the film's realism.

\n

"I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the streets, the lack of homelessness and the engineering advances I saw in China. They've come a long way, even more advanced than the US in some areas," Allman said.

\n

"I'm a peace advocate, I think we need more films that bring people together, because that's how we can promote peace not only in LA, but in the world."

\n

The film has already earned more than $11 million at the Chinese box office, placing it among the country's top three documentaries.

\n

"Chinese audiences are increasingly interested in reality-based documentaries that reflect changes in society," director Xu said.

WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump's administration intends to shift $1.8 billion in foreign aid funding toward "America First" initiatives, such as pursuing investments in Greenland and countering "Marxist, anti-American regimes" in Latin America, according to a document sent to Congress.

\n

"The national security interests of the United States require that the United States utilize these foreign assistance funds to meet new challenges in ways that make America safer, stronger, or more prosperous," according to the Congressional Notification reviewed by Reuters on Wednesday.

\n

The administration's plan to shift the funding from programs previously authorized by Congress was first reported by The Washington Post. A State Department spokesperson said the department looked forward to working with Congress "on America First Foreign Assistance", saying foreign assistance programs must align with administration policies.

"The United States will prioritize trade over aid, opportunity over dependency, and investment over assistance," the spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

Jean-Jacques Annaud, a noted French director, speaks at the 2025 Beijing Culture Forum on Tuesday.

\n

Guests visit the cultural creativity exhibition area of the 2025 Beijing Culture Forum on Tuesday.

\n

\n

Beijing once again took center stage in the global cultural arena on Tuesday as it played host to the 2025 Beijing Culture Forum.

\n

Launched in 2022, the forum, with a permanent theme of "Inheritance, Creativity, Mutual Learning", has evolved into a pivotal platform for Beijing's development in the new era, emphasizing international engagement.

\n

This year's edition adopted "Integrated Development of Culture and Technology" as its annual theme, featuring an opening ceremony, six parallel forums, and more than 20 professional salons.

\n

Nearly 800 guests from 58 countries and regions converged in China's capital for the two-day event. They included renowned experts, scholars, cultural figures, and industry leaders, all gathering to engage in in-depth discussions and exchange ideas.

\n

At the opening ceremony, Yin Li, Party secretary of Beijing, highlighted that new cultural business forms, such as internet culture, entertainment, gaming and animation, generated nearly 1.6 trillion yuan ($225 billion) in revenue in 2024, energizing the city's sectors.

\n

Former French prime minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin emphasized that culture transcends bilateral relations and must be advanced within a multilateral framework.

\n

In a letter to the forum, French Culture Minister Rachida Dati noted that France and China both recognize the transformative role of disruptive technologies, particularly artificial intelligence. She emphasized that their innovation and growth potential will directly shape global culture and bring profound changes to the cultural sector worldwide.

\n

Lazare Eloundou Assomo, director of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, remarked on the essential role of digital technology in heritage protection, management, and education, highlighting China's leadership in digital innovation and heritage preservation.

\n

Zhu Songchun, director of the Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence, stated that AI and humanities research can complement each other, with AI research providing deeper insights into human nature and cultural formation, while humanities offer cognitive frameworks and value systems for AI.

\n

Gao Shiming, vice-president of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, said that in recent years, diverse forms of Chinese art and literature have adapted to and thrived on new media platforms.

\n

He encouraged contemporary artists to draw poetic inspiration from the lives and future aspirations of Chinese people, creating art and culture that integrates the ancient and modern, East and West, culture and technology. Such works, he stressed, should be shared with the public, advance the times, and be presented to the world.

\n

A highlight of the forum's opening day was the release of several key achievements, including the report titled "From Initiative to Practice: 2024 Sino-Foreign Cultural Exchange Report".

\n

According to it, 2024 marked a year of high-quality development in cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. Chinese proposals for the new era, exemplified by a series of global initiatives, not only injected vitality into the pursuit of modernization with Chinese characteristics but offered solutions to address challenges in a turbulent and rapidly changing world.

\n

The report noted that 2024 witnessed a multidimensional and comprehensive development pattern in Sino-foreign cultural exchanges. Robust cooperation in technology has driven the creation of an innovative ecosystem for cultural exchanges; deeper collaboration in public health has advanced the building of a global community of health for all; strengthened partnerships in environmental governance have led global ecological civilization construction; and enhanced cooperation in media has promoted people-to-people exchanges and mutual understanding.

\n

Looking ahead, the report indicated that Sino-foreign cultural exchanges are entering a new phase of prosperity. China stands ready to join hands with other countries — taking cultural exchanges as a bond and mutual learning among civilizations as a bridge — to collectively address global issues.

\n

In addition to the report, the forum also announced the top 10 major events in the construction of a national cultural center in 2024 and 18 significant cultural achievements.

\n

Three major project agreements were also signed on-site, covering areas such as AI-driven art creation, AI applications in museums, and Sino-German cooperation on global governance and civilizational mutual learning.

\n

On the first day of the event, six parallel forums were held, focusing on topics including digital empowerment for cultural heritage, technology-driven cultural originality, and respecting the diversity of civilization.

\n

Through keynote speeches, roundtable discussions, and case presentations, the parallel sessions delved into a wide range of topics related to the integration of culture and technology.

\n

Another key event of the 2025 Beijing Culture Forum was the Conference of Cultural Sector Investors, which took place on Wednesday. The event spotlighted the new quality productive forces within the sector, showcasing cutting-edge research outcomes, major industrial collaborations and innovative practice cases. It aimed at deep integration and collaborative innovation among culture, technology and finance. More than 50 major projects were signed on-site, covering various fields such as cultural technology and cultural scene innovation.

\n

As a key component of the 2025 Beijing Culture Forum, a salon specializing in artificial intelligence took place in the city's Haidian district earlier in September.

\n

Themed "Cultural Intelligence: AI Reshaping Digital Content Production", the event featured in-depth discussions on topics within the sector, such as innovative models, transformation pathways, challenges and opportunities.

\n

Experts in the AI field, alongside representatives from technology enterprises like the video-sharing platform Kuaishou Technology and leading content creators, gathered to share their insights.

\n

Guo Yanmin, a professor at the Communication University of China, for example, explored the efficiency gains and job restructuring that AI is driving in the audiovisual industry. He emphasized the importance of maintaining authenticity in news communication, originality in artistic creation, and avoiding homogenization in commercial entertainment.

\n

Additionally, Qin Jingyan, a professor at the University of Science and Technology Beijing, examined the role of AI technology in fostering high-level aesthetics and cultural expression, aligning with national strategies such as the dual-carbon reduction goals, sustainable development and building a beacon of cultural prowess.

\n

Cai Xiongshan, vice-president of Kuaishou, highlighted that AI-generated content is driving a new wave of technological transformation in the film and television industry, injecting vitality into its development.

\n

Notably, the China-BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center established its first global achievement transformation center at Kuaishou's Brazilian branch in May, indicating broader applications of AI technology in countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, Cai said.

\n

In recent years, the global AI technology revolution has continued to advance, with Haidian at the forefront of AI development. The district currently hosts 105 registered large models, accounting for two-thirds of Beijing's total and one-fifth of China's total.

\n

Among these is Keling AI, a video-generating model developed by Kuaishou. Since its launch in June 2024, it has completed over 30 iterations, served more than 45 million global users, and generated over 200 million videos and 400 million images.

\n

It has been integrated into fields such as film and television production, advertising creativity, e-commerce marketing, and cultural tourism, with the potential to empower more industries in the future.

\n

Moreover, Haidian has nurtured leading general-purpose large models like Doubao, Ernie Bot, and ChatGLM, and has incubated significant world-class achievements.

\n

Beijing has been promoting the application of new technologies, products and scenarios to achieve digital empowerment in the cultural field these past few years.

\n

In January, several sci-tech and cultural departments in the city issued a three-year action plan for innovation and development of technology empowering culture, aiming to advance the construction of a national cultural center and an international sci-tech innovation hub.

\n

According to the plan, Beijing will focus on meeting the technological needs of the cultural sector by strengthening research on AI, internet 3.0, and high-end processing chips, enhancing the capabilities of cultural digital content generation.

\n

Technologies like AI and virtual reality will be employed to upgrade cultural infrastructure and create benchmark projects in cultural tourism, film, and cultural heritage sectors.

\n

Furthermore, the city will promote the implementation of pilot policies, establish key laboratories for the integration of culture and technology, build a sci-tech and cultural industry cluster, and explore the application of AI in the governance of cultural digital content.

\n

In August, Beijing released this year's list of technology-empowered cultural projects, including AI large model-based museum guidance and interactive theater experience systems, AI digital museums of industrial heritage, and AI-assisted music program score analysis and intelligent shooting systems.

\n

Guided by the action plan and supported by the project list, Beijing will continue to integrate science and technology with the cultural industry, and build an innovation system poised for the future.

Guided by the action plan and supported by the project list, Beijing will continue to integrate science and technology with the cultural industry, and build an innovation system poised for the future.

The Sino-French film series, a special curated event at this year's Beijing Culture Forum, launches a film concert on Monday.

\n

As a special curated event at this year's Beijing Culture Forum, the Sino-French film series took place from Monday to Wednesday.

\n

It was also designed to commemorate the 130th anniversary of world cinema, the 120th anniversary of Chinese cinema, and the 61st anniversary of China-France diplomatic ties.

\n

Under the theme "Wind Moves, Shadows Dance", the event symbolized the fluid and interconnected nature of Chinese and French film cultures.

\n

Through film concerts, image salons, academic dialogues, and film screenings, the series explored the century-long cinematic history of the two countries, examined innovation and expression of film art in the contemporary era, and aimed to elevate Sino-French film cultural exchanges to a new level.

\n

The event featured a distinguished French delegation led by former French prime minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin. It included notable figures such as director Jean-Jacques Annaud and actress Juliette Binoche. The Chinese delegation was equally impressive, gathering prominent individuals from the film, cultural, and academic sectors. They included renowned director Wu Ershan, actor Liu Ye and the Peking Opera masters Tan Zhengyan and Tan Xiaozeng.

\n

This grand event comprised three core segments: a film concert that offered an audiovisual feast through classic film reproductions and live performances; five special activities featuring master dialogues, film screenings and academic seminars; and an image salon focused on the inheritance and innovation of film art.

\n

This year, the Beijing Culture Forum introduced a new salon format, designed to regularly bring together experts, scholars and cultural celebrities from around the world. These gatherings will fuel exchanges, discussions, and collaborations on themes such as cultural heritage and development.

\n

In April, the salon's inaugural event was held at Tiantan (Temple of Heaven) Park, where guests engaged in discussions on topics like "the global value of cultural heritage protection" and "how science and technology empower cultural heritage protection".

\n

Sun Junmin, head of the city's publicity department, said that the Beijing Culture Forum Salon will serve as an innovative platform to promote ongoing cultural initiatives, coordinate high-quality projects, and enhance international cultural exchanges.

\n

It will focus on themes like cultural heritage protection, cultural and technological innovation, and the integration of culture, commerce, tourism and sports, regularly organizing professional and diverse activities.

\n

Furthermore, Beijing is committed to refining its cooperation mechanisms and elevating the standards of operation and management. The goal is to ensure that activities are consistently innovative and exceptional, establishing a Beijing Culture Forum that remains accessible and dynamic online.

\n

The inaugural event also announced the first batch of 17 venues for the Beijing Culture Forum Salon, including the Temple of Heaven and the Bell and Drum Towers.

\n

These venues, rich in historical heritage and cultural significance, will resume their everyday functions outside event periods, promoting the use of cultural relics in the city.

China has unveiled an array of policies to drive digital consumption, which is now widely seen by policymakers and analysts as a critical force to unlock domestic demand and facilitate the country's transition toward a consumption-led growth model.

\n

The synergies of the digital economy and consumption upgrade will continue to drive the evolution of the supersized Chinese market, fostering a more efficient and personalized consumption ecosystem that caters to the diverse needs of the country's consumers, they added.

\n

According to a document released on Wednesday by the Ministry of Commerce and seven other government departments, China will expand the supply of diversified digital consumption, innovate and enrich digital consumption scenarios, and promote a higher-level dynamic balance between digital supply and demand.

\n

Digital consumption is the act of using digital technology to access and interact with digital products, services and content, encompassing everything from online shopping and social media engagement to streaming media and the use of mobile apps.

\n

"The core strength of this digital framework lies in its dual ability to create and connect," said Zhu Keli, founding director of the China Institute of New Economy.

\n

It generates entirely new consumption scenarios, from livestreamed agricultural commodity sales that connect farmers directly to urban households, to augmented reality apps that allow users to visualize furnishing in their homes before making final purchases, Zhu said, adding that simultaneously, it acts as a highly efficient matching engine, using data analytics to align production with the nuanced, fast-changing preferences of hundreds of millions of consumers.

\n

The government is taking proactive measures to encourage enterprises to enhance quality supply and release the consumption potential of products such as AI-powered smartphones, computers, smart robots, wearable devices and desktop 3D printing equipment, according to the document.

\n

The country will also accelerate the integration and connectivity of smart home appliances, smart security systems and remote healthcare, as well as promote the pilot testing of intelligent and connected vehicles, it said.

\n

In July, the added value of the large-scale digital product manufacturing sector grew 8.4 percent year-on-year, said Fu Linghui, spokesman for the National Bureau of Statistics, at a news conference in mid-August.

\n

"The rapid development of artificial intelligence has led to deeper integration with the real economy, with an ever-expanding range of application scenarios and the increasing prevalence of various smart terminal products," Fu said.

\n

The document also laid out specific measures to develop smart retail and support the comprehensive digitalization of traditional brick-and-mortar commercial enterprises in terms of marketing, sales channels and business processes.

\n

Meanwhile, it is also encouraging the healthy development of new retail formats, such as instant retail, social commerce and livestreaming e-commerce.

\n

The NBS said online retail sales climbed 9.6 percent year-on-year from January to August. More significantly, the growth rate picked up by 0.4 percentage point from the January-July stretch, hitting a new high for the year.

\n

Instant retail, which delivers everything from groceries to electronics in less than an hour — as well as livestreamed e-commerce — both continued double-digit growth trajectories, the bureau said.

\n

The Chinese consumer is not retrenching but rather redirecting expenditure. The digital marketplace, with its ever-increasing efficiency and innovation, is successfully unlocking latent demand, said Zhang Jianping, deputy director of the academic committee at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation in Beijing.

\n

Unleashing the full potential of digital consumption requires a comprehensive support system, including logistics, financial services and an efficient, convenient and intelligent payment infrastructure, Zhang said.

\n

"These support systems are crucial for the development and prosperity of digital consumption, and they must be effectively synchronized with the construction of digital platforms to support the growth of digital consumption," Zhang added.

\n

To this end, the document has placed high premium on the development of smart logistics infrastructure, drone-based transportation services and intelligent e-lockers, as well as the interconnectivity between bank card clearing institutions and international payment platforms, and the expansion of the acceptance coverage and application scenarios of the digital yuan.

Tourists seen at a beach in Wanning, Hainan province, in August.

\n

Wanning, a coastal city in South China's Hainan province, is riding the surfing wave to power its sports tourism industry, attracting young sports lovers and adventure seekers from home and abroad.

\n

The municipal government is aiming to transform the city into a sports tourism hub. "Wanning focuses on the core of youth and vitality, targeting young travelers and positioning the city as a trendy sports tourism destination of water activities," said Liu Chao, vice-mayor of Wanning.

\n

Riyue Bay, which is anchoring the plan, is home to the country's national surf training base, hosting world-class competitions year-round and attracting an estimated 500,000 surfers annually, according to Sun Deguang, deputy director of the city's tourism, culture, film, television and sports bureau.

\n

Sun said the city's 109-kilometer coastline, with stable waves averaging 1.5 to 2 meters and a year-round average temperature of 26.5 C, has drawn more than 30 surf clubs and long-stay enthusiasts.

\n

The city is leveraging sports events to convert traffic into spending. This year, it is expected to stage more than 40 sports competitions, including the inaugural Wanning International Surfing Competition.

\n

Beyond surfing, Wanning is expanding into diving at the Shimei Bay and jet skiing at Shenzhou Peninsula, backed by national training bases, to create a differentiated three-bay model. A marathon earlier this year drew nearly 18,000 participants and generated direct tourism revenue of 26.9 million yuan ($3.7 million), with wider consumption lifting revenue by another 30 million yuan.

\n

It is also pushing industrial integration — linking sports with coffee, food, duty-free shopping and rural vitalization — to lengthen visitor stays and diversify revenue streams.

\n

Tourism numbers point to the momentum.

\n

Wanning received 9 million visitors in 2024, up 7.4 percent year-on-year, generating 8.2 billion yuan in revenue, a 14.6 percent jump. From January to August 2025, the city welcomed 6.7 million visitors, with spending up 8.4 percent to 6.3 billion yuan.

\n

The city is gearing up to upgrade its infrastructure. The Riyue Bay interchange is nearing completion to ease traffic especially during public holidays, while China's first surf park with an artificial wave pool is due to open in October, according to the local government.

\n

Wanning's efforts align with the country's broader push. A State Council directive earlier this month called for the sports industry to exceed 7 trillion yuan by 2030, including the cultivation of globally influential events and enterprises.

\n

"We are breaking down industry barriers and promoting deep integration to form a synergy of development from multiple formats," Liu said.

The number of 5G base stations in China reached nearly 4.65 million by the end of August, official data showed. The figure accounted for 36.3 percent of the total number of mobile base stations nationwide, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Meanwhile, an increasing number of Chinese mobile users are adopting 5G services.

Track replacement to enhance safety

\n

Chinese railway operators have intensified efforts to bolster transport safety. The Taiyuan-Zhongwei railway, a quick rail corridor carrying passengers and freight, serves as a lifeline for the people of Lyuliang area in Shanxi province for transport out of the mountains. To boost rail safety, China Railway Taiyuan Group has asked Taiyuan High-speed Railway Engineering Section to replace a part of its ballast-less tracks running for 1.6 kilometers. The section dispatched 15 master staff members to replace the tracks inside the Lyuliang Mountain Tunnel, and they completed the job in three days when the trains were not operating.

Economic and trade cooperation between Chinese provinces and US states serves as an indispensable part of Sino-US economic and trade relations, while also functioning as a key platform and channel for both sides to enhance their trade and economic exchanges, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.

\n

He Yadong, a spokesman for the ministry, addressed China-US soybean trade during a news conference in Beijing. He said the US side should take positive measures, cancel relevant unreasonable tariffs, create conditions for expanding bilateral trade and inject greater stability and certainty into global economic development.

\n

He made the remarks after Li Chenggang, China's international trade representative with the Ministry of Commerce and vice-minister of commerce, met with a delegation of political and business leaders from the US Midwest on Monday. The two sides exchanged views on topics including China-US economic and trade relations, and subnational economic and trade cooperation between the two countries.

\n

The ministry said the essence of Sino-US economic and trade relations lies in mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation, adding that the two countries share extensive common interests and broad prospects for economic and trade cooperation.

\n

"Currently, the main barrier to regular China-US economic and trade cooperation arises from the unilateral restrictive measures imposed by the United States. It is our hope that the US will join hands with China to foster enabling conditions for the stable, healthy and sustainable development of Sino-US economic and trade ties," He said.

\n

Li Yong, a senior research fellow at the Beijing-based China Association of International Trade, said the US is an important economic and trade partner of China. The US needs to move beyond a zero-sum mindset and truly regard China as an equal cooperative partner rather than a strategic rival. The two sides shall continue to make breakthroughs in fields such as tariff reductions, technological cooperation and rule reforms.

\n

"Looking ahead, the ideal state of China-US economic and trade relations should be a shift from friction and conflict to cooperation and mutual benefit, and transition from a zero-sum game to competitive coexistence. While managing and controlling competition, the two sides should expand cooperation and seek common ground on the basis of acknowledging differences. This is not only the shared aspiration of the peoples of the two countries, but also an inevitable requirement for safeguarding global economic stability," Li said.

Parkway Shanghai Hospital has launched a center for minimally invasive and intelligent orthopedics, in its latest initiative to create a platform that will bring Shanghai's medical expertise to the world.

\n

Doctors completed a knee replacement surgery on an 84-year-old patient at the facility on Sept 19, the day of its inauguration, assisted by a cutting-edge Mako orthopedic surgical robot.

\n

The hospital by Parkway Shanghai, IHH Healthcare's operating entity on the Chinese mainland, thus became the first international medical institution in Shanghai to introduce the smart technology.

\n

Located within the Shanghai New Hongqiao International Medical Center, which is adjacent to the Hongqiao international transportation hub, the hospital said it sincerely wants to play a role in becoming a gateway for patients from overseas to come to the city.

\n

The hospital, which opened in 2023 with an investment of 1.61 billion yuan ($226 million), was recognized as a "pilot demonstration base for international medical tourism" the same year, at a time when the city's attempts at international medical tourism was quickly gathering pace.

\n

Kenneth Tsang, regional chief executive officer of IHH Healthcare North Asia, said both Shanghai and IHH, one of the world's largest private healthcare providers, are supreme brands.

\n

"IHH can serve as a jump-start position for Shanghai to go international for healthcare. And we don't need to really sell it to the rest of the world, as they know Shanghai is strong. They just don't have enough gateways to come in," said Tsang.

\n

Earlier, some local patients used to travel abroad for medical services. However, after decades of development, domestic cities represented by Shanghai now have high medical standards, with costs potentially only a fraction of those in Japan or Singapore, truly offering great value for money, he said.

\n

"Especially in the field of surgery, domestic doctors may perform five to 10 times more surgeries than their counterparts in Japan, making their experience highly trustworthy to attract overseas patients to Shanghai," said Tsang.

\n

China's visa-free policy, along with Shanghai's overall urban strength and the high standards of its hospitality sector, also position the city as highly promising in the field of international medical tourism, he said.

\n

Some other options the hospital may explore later on include stem cell therapy, in which China is more advanced than some other countries and regions, including Singapore and Malaysia, he added.

\n

Zhang Xianlong, honorary dean of Parkway Shanghai Hospital and head of joint surgery at Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, said the newly launched orthopedics center will introduce internationally advanced equipment and focus on robot-assisted joint replacement, complex hip and knee revision, digital preoperative planning, 3D-printed personalized surgical guides, customized implants and uniportal bilateral endoscopic procedures.

\n

The Mako system excels in orthopedic procedures by combining medical imaging, 3D modeling and navigation-assisted technology. Through precise coordinate registration between patient anatomy, surgical tools and prosthetic implants, the system enables sub-millimeter precision in joint replacement, significantly improving surgical safety and outcomes, experts said.

China's latest efforts to regulate the management of food delivery service platforms are expected to maintain fair market order, curb "involution-style" competition and promote the healthy, orderly and sustainable development of the platform economy, experts said.

\n

Their comments came after the State Administration for Market Regulation on Wednesday began soliciting public feedback on a set of draft guidelines focused on the charging and promotional activities of platforms, and better protecting the rights and interests of delivery staff.

\n

The move is aimed at helping food delivery platforms standardize service management and improve service quality, while reducing the burden on merchants and guiding platform enterprises to compete in a fair and orderly manner.

\n

The draft guidelines clearly stipulate the fee items and amounts that food delivery platforms can charge merchants, prevent nontransparent charging practices, and encourage platforms to establish a mechanism for reducing technical service fees and to gradually lower basic commission fees.

\n

The protection of delivery staff rights has long grabbed public attention. The draft concentrates on delivery staff wages, working hours and social security benefits, specifying that the wage distribution mechanism should be continuously improved to align with such employee workloads and labor intensity.

\n

It said platforms should reasonably limit the duration of delivery staff's order-taking to prevent overwork and excessive fatigue that could pose health and safety risks. For those who have been taking orders continuously for more than four hours, the platform should issue fatigue alerts.

\n

The launch of the draft guidelines followed cutthroat competition in the country's food delivery sector in recent months, with major players offering huge discounts and subsidies to grab a bigger slice of the pie, which triggered a relentless price war.

\n

Li Qiangzhi, deputy director of the policy and economics research institute at the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, said, "In recent years, platform charging rules and subsidy requirements have become increasingly complex, leading to a situation where merchants cannot understand, figure out or accurately calculate the fees, making it difficult for them to accurately assess costs and expected revenues."

\n

Li said that the draft guidelines require platforms to formulate special support measures such as fee reductions or exemptions for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, and include a number of targeted provisions that explicitly require platforms not to directly or implicitly require merchants to share the costs of promotional activities.

\n

The draft guidelines will urge and guide platforms to move away from irrational competition characterized by excessive subsidies and disorderly expansion, but rather toward high-quality competition, with a key focus on improving services and bolstering innovation, said Zhai Wei, executive director of the Competition Law Research Center of East China University of Political Science and Law.

\n

Chinese leading food delivery platforms — Alibaba Group-backed Ele.me, Meituan, and JD — vowed in August to rein in aggressive discounting practices, resist disorderly and vicious competition, and foster a win-win ecosystem.

\n

Their move came after the SAMR summoned the three leading food delivery platforms on July 18, urging them to regulate their promotional activities and engage in rational competition.

\n

Pan Helin, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Expert Committee for Information and Communication Economy, said charging practices of platforms are expected to become more transparent in the future with the launch of the guidelines, and the distribution of benefits among consumers, merchants, riders and platforms will be more transparent.

\n

Pan emphasized that the transparency and standardization in fees can guide the food delivery sector to shift from "involution-style" competition to healthy competition, thus promoting the healthy and sustained development of the platform economy.

\n

Cao Lei, director of the Internet Economy Institute, a domestic consultancy, said the continuous steep discounts and price war pose challenges to platform companies' profitability, intensify competition and further squeeze the survivability and viability of small and medium-sized merchants.

\n

It is of vital significance to safeguard a fair and orderly market environment and avoid "involution-style" competition in the food delivery sector, which is experiencing a prolonged price war, Cao said.

\n

He added that food delivery platforms should increase investments in technologies such as artificial intelligence-powered algorithms and intelligent scheduling to enhance fulfillment efficiency, while optimizing supply chain management, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and improving the welfare of delivery staff.

Containership Istanbul Bridge docks at Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, Zhejiang province, on Monday.

\n

Ningbo-Zhoushan Port launched the China-Europe Arctic Express — the world's first regular container service linking China with Europe through the Arctic Ocean — on Monday, enhancing the country's supply chain resilience and safety.

\n

On Monday, containership Istanbul Bridge departed from Beiyi Container Terminal at Ningbo-Zhoushan Port in Zhejiang province, embarking on its first voyage to Felixstowe, the United Kingdom's largest container port. The event marked the official opening of the China-Europe Arctic Express.

\n

The new route drastically shortens the shipping time between major Chinese and European ports, and sets a new speed record for China-Europe shipping. "The direct transit time from Ningbo-Zhoushan Port to Felixstowe is only 18 days, compared to over 25 days by China-Europe Railway Express; over 40 days via the Suez Canal and over 50 days around the Cape of Good Hope," said Li Xiaobin, chief operating officer of Hong Kong SAR-based Sea Legend Shipping Pte Ltd.

\n

"This greatly enhances supply chain speed, reduces required business inventory by 40 percent and cuts capital costs for businesses."

\n

The route also offers a safer and more stable alternative. "It passes through politically and economically stable regions, reducing risks such as piracy, congestion and conflict spillover," Li said. The express also cuts carbon emissions by about 50 percent compared to traditional detours.

\n

Goods aboard the inaugural voyage include a wide range of products from daily necessities to high-value items such as energy storage cabinets and power batteries. "The cargo on board covers a wide range of categories. Once it arrives, it will be distributed across Europe," said Zhou Xiaoping, deputy director of Ningbo Customs' Daxie branch.

\n

Customs authorities have implemented streamlined procedures to support the new route. "We provide full-process paperless logistics clearance and green channels to ensure fast turnover," Zhou said.

\n

For exporters like Sigenergy, the express service provides a reliable logistics solution. "We are shipping household energy storage equipment, with each container valued at about $300,000," said Zhou Chujing, the company's logistics procurement manager. "We chose this route mainly for its favorable transit time, which greatly benefits our entire marketing chain."

\n

Sun Xuejun, chairman of Zhejiang Seaport Logistics Group Co Ltd, said the route "effectively reduces the risk of blockade or restriction, ensures greater transport autonomy and safety and promotes diversified trade patterns."

\n

Sun said the route marks a leap forward by Ningbo-Zhoushan Port in the expansion of its global network, which now covers the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and Arctic oceans.

\n

The China-Europe Arctic Express not only offers a faster, greener shipping option but also reinforces China's commitment to opening up new international logistics corridors under the Belt and Road Initiative.

China's electricity consumption surpassed 1 trillion kilowatt-hours for a second consecutive month in August, driven by robust demand from both production and consumption sectors, according to data released by the National Energy Administration.

\n

Total power consumption in August reached around 1.02 trillion kWh, a 5 percent increase year-on-year. This follows July's milestone, which is also a global first, when China became the first country to exceed 1 trillion kWh in monthly electricity usage.

\n

For the first eight months of the year, total electricity consumption reached around 6.88 trillion kWh, a 4.6 percent increase compared to the same period last year, it said.

\n

Jiang Debin, deputy director of the China Electricity Council's statistics and data center, attributed the record electricity consumption, often seen as a key indicator of economic activity, to both hot summer weather and government policies aimed at stabilizing industrial growth.

\n

"The record electricity consumption was propelled by strong performance in manufacturing and retail sectors, as the macroeconomy continues to recover, and production capacity in various industries is steadily being released," he said.

\n

"The steady operation of the power grid despite record-breaking electricity loads this summer reflects the country's enhanced energy supply security and resilience."

\n

The council believes that with load repeatedly hitting new highs in most provinces across the country and high pressure on supply in various regions, achieving an electricity supply of 1 trillion kWh is a major test of China's power regulation and control system.

\n

Wang Hongzhi, head of the NEA, recently emphasized the need to expand new energy supply and steadily increase the proportion of new energy power generation.

\n

Wang stressed the need to expand new energy supplies, steadily increase the proportion of renewable energy in the power mix and coordinate local consumption with long-distance transmission.

\n

China's energy supply security and resilience overall have reached a relatively high level. It has strong independent security capabilities, strong operational regulation capabilities, and strong emergency support capabilities, according to the NEA.

\n

Since the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), domestic energy production has accelerated, with over 90 percent of the increase in consumption being independently secured domestically, it said.

\n

In particular, new energy sources have played an important role, said Wang.

\n

The increase in new energy power generation accounts for nearly 50 percent of the total increase in national power generation, driving the total supply of nonfossil energy to grow by nearly 50 percent, he said.

\n

The NEA data showed that electricity consumption in the manufacturing sector grew by 5.5 percent in August, the highest monthly growth rate this year.

\n

Breaking down the consumption by sector, primary industry electricity consumption saw a rapid increase, growing by 9.7 percent year-on-year in August, an increase of 5.1 percentage points compared to the same period last year.

\n

High-tech and equipment manufacturing also demonstrated strong resilience, with a combined electricity consumption increase of 9.1 percent, approximately 4.6 percentage points higher than the average growth rate of the manufacturing sector.

\n

Jiang said electricity consumption for manufacturing new energy vehicles and photovoltaic products has maintained rapid growth, demonstrating the vigorous development of new quality productive forces, which are forming new economic growth points and driving electricity consumption higher.

\n

Considering the high-temperature factors in the third quarter, electricity consumption growth in the second half of this year is expected to be higher than in the first half, he said. "Ensuring the stable operation of the power grid remains a top priority."

\n

Considering the challenges of ensuring grid stability with a high proportion of renewable energy sources, the council has suggested further promoting electricity market reforms and encouraging energy-efficient consumption behavior.

Steven Ackerman

\n

Covation Biomaterials, a major producer of bio-based materials, is ramping up its commitment to meet the growing demand for sustainable textile solutions in the Chinese market.

\n

With deep roots in China, the company is expanding its manufacturing base in the country to drive sustainable transformation in the textile industry, said Steven Ackerman, who was recently appointed the company's CEO.

\n

Citing its signature bio-based polymer — Sorona — Ackerman said, "China has been the foundation of the Sorona apparel business for the last 25 years, and we're very excited to see that continue." The CEO made the comments during the autumn edition of the Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics exhibition in Shanghai earlier this month, where CovationBio and its partners showcased several latest sustainable innovations.

\n

"We see significant opportunities both for domestic consumption and for China's role as a major exporter of sustainable textiles to the world," he said.

\n

CovationBio's China strategy goes beyond market access. The company has established a robust technical and commercial team in China, including a research center in Shanghai and a manufacturing facility in Qidong, Jiangsu province.

\n

The facility was developed with support from Zhejiang province-based Huafon Group, which is one of the world's largest producers of spandex fiber. "Joining our business and team with Huafon has allowed us to grow within China's immense textile landscape," Ackerman said.

\n

Ackerman said the company also has ongoing investments to expand the Qidong facilities and is ramping up innovation, backed by research and development centers in both the United States and Shanghai.

\n

In addition, CovationBio is preparing to launch BioPTMEG — a polyether containing up to 100 percent bio-based content that will target the spandex and polyurethane markets — aiming to significantly improve the life-cycle footprint of these materials.

\n

A 10 billion yuan ($1.4 billion) investment is on the agenda to build its multi-phased Qidong production base into a major BioPTMEG manufacturing facility globally. With a total planned capacity of 500,000 metric tons per year, the facility will target the fast-growing spandex, polyurethane and other performance material sectors.

\n

With China's textile industry leaning more to sustainability and functional performance, Sorona's blend of durability, softness and stretch has found wide appeal — from athleisure and workwear to outdoor and technical apparel, said the company.

\n

"The Chinese market is quick to embrace both comfort and environmental responsibility, and we see that reflected in the growing demand for fabrics made with Sorona," Ackerman said.

\n

At the Shanghai trade event, CovationBio released new Life Cycle Assessment results, which found that Sorona offers 44 percent less energy and emits 170 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than producing nylon 6 from non-renewable resources, and 41 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than producing polyethylene terephthalate.

\n

Launched in 2000, Sorona was the world's first commercial polytrimethylene terephthalate polymer and is being widely adopted in a myriad of applications including athleisure, outdoor, workwear, carpets and faux fur.

\n

"It's not just about being sustainable, it's about bringing real value and performance to the end user," Ackerman said.

\n

Key to Sorona's success is CovationBio's global engagement across the textile value chain. The company maintains teams globally to support brands, mills, spinners and traders in adopting bio-based materials, he said.

\n

"Sorona requires different processing conditions than traditional materials. Our team's technical expertise helps customers solve problems and develop innovative applications," he added.

\n

Looking ahead, CovationBio plans further advances in both product sustainability and functionality, with new fiber technologies that add cooling or warming properties and improved odor control for textiles — all without compromising Sorona's environmental and performance benefits.

\n

"Fashion and textiles are at a critical turning point. The next chapter will be about pushing boundaries even further with renewable chemistry and responsible innovation," Ackerman added.

\n

Covation Biomaterials, a major producer of bio-based materials, is ramping up its commitment to meet the growing demand for sustainable textile solutions in the Chinese market.

\n

With deep roots in China, the company is expanding its manufacturing base in the country to drive sustainable transformation in the textile industry, said Steven Ackerman, who was recently appointed the company's CEO.

\n

Citing its signature bio-based polymer — Sorona — Ackerman said, "China has been the foundation of the Sorona apparel business for the last 25 years, and we're very excited to see that continue." The CEO made the comments during the autumn edition of the Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics exhibition in Shanghai earlier this month, where CovationBio and its partners showcased several latest sustainable innovations.

\n

"We see significant opportunities both for domestic consumption and for China's role as a major exporter of sustainable textiles to the world," he said.

\n

CovationBio's China strategy goes beyond market access. The company has established a robust technical and commercial team in China, including a research center in Shanghai and a manufacturing facility in Qidong, Jiangsu province.

\n

The facility was developed with support from Zhejiang province-based Huafon Group, which is one of the world's largest producers of spandex fiber. "Joining our business and team with Huafon has allowed us to grow within China's immense textile landscape," Ackerman said.

The 3rd Traditional Sports International Festival, featuring Go, wushu, qigong, dragon and lion dances, and kite flying, attracted participants from all over the world to not only compete, but also engage in cultural exchanges.

\n

A spectacular fusion of athleticism and culture, the 3rd Traditional Sports International Festival — held last week in Jiangyin, Jiangsu province — provided a unique platform to experience China's traditional sports and cultures, as well as encourage exchanges between the nearly 800 athletes from 39 countries and regions who participated.

\n

This year's festival saw a notable increase in scale, with participants competing in five diverse disciplines: Go, wushu, qigong, dragon and lion dances, and kite flying.

\n

Sun Haoran, director of the operations and development department of the International Sports Exchange Center of the General Administration of Sport of China, explained that the featured sports are deeply influenced by Chinese philosophy and a traditional approach to health.

\n

"The festival aims to immerse participants from around the world in the essence of China's traditional culture through a range of activities, including competitions, performances and cultural workshops," Sun said.

\n

Throughout the three-day event, participants enjoyed the opportunity to engage not only in fierce competition, but also in cultural exchanges, leaving with a deeper appreciation of traditional Chinese sports and the philosophies that underpin them.

\n

One of the key highlights of this year's festival was the inclusion of kite flying, a visually spectacular addition to the competition. Traditional Chinese kites, elegantly designed with modern influences, danced in the skies above crowds of captivated spectators. Kites shaped like giant dragons, octopuses and butterflies filled the air, with participants from around the world showcasing their kite-flying skills.

\n

One competitor from the United States noted the profound history behind Chinese kites, saying that this competition opened their eyes to the art and skill involved.

\n

The kites brought by all the teams were not just designed to look good on display, but also to form intricate patterns when in flight.

\n

He Jinquan from the Jiangsu team claimed victory in the medium-sized dragon kite category with a score of 74.87, while the Tianjin team's Yu Quanshun took top honors in the rigid-winged kite category with a score of 81.35.

\n

The dragon and lion dance competitions also proved to be a major draw. Teams performed both freestyle and traditional routines, blending the ancient art of dragon and lion dancing with modern stage techniques.

\n

This year's performances saw both local and international teams pushing the boundaries of creativity, while maintaining the cultural integrity of the sport.

\n

Across the freestyle and traditional competitions in the dragon dance, the big winners were the Xiamen Institute of Technology and Pingdingshan University.

\n

The Go competition also highlighted the growing global appeal of the ancient Chinese strategy game. Featuring both open and overseas categories, the tournament attracted top players from around the world, with impressive performances showcasing the strategic depth and cultural significance of the game.

\n

One participant from Singapore, who had competed in the previous two editions of the festival, noted that the competition had grown in both scale and cultural diversity, remarking that it was clear that Go's influence is spreading globally, and that it was great to see more international players taking part.

\n

The festival also gave athletes the chance to explore Jiangyin's unique blend of modernity and tradition. Known for its deep integration of sports and tourism, Jiangyin provided a perfect backdrop for the event, allowing competitors to enjoy the local cultural heritage, while testing their competitive skills.

\n

The festival wasn't just about sports — it was a feast of cultural exchange.

\n

During the event, various cultural activities were organized, including visits to local heritage sites and performances featuring traditional Chinese folk music, dance and acrobatics. These activities helped immerse athletes in the rich cultural traditions of China, offering a memorable experience both on and off the competition floor.

Portia Woodman-Wickliffe

\n

LONDON — Portia Woodman-Wickliffe didn't come out of retirement to play for a bronze medal.

\n

The most decorated woman in rugby didn't have to come out of retirement at all.

\n

Before the Paris Olympics she announced it would be her international swansong. She got her fairytale finish as New Zealand won back-to-back sevens gold medals.

\n

More than a year later, her hope of winning back-to-back-to-back Women's Rugby World Cups was smashed by Canada in a stunning 34-19 upset in the semifinals a week ago.

\n

Woodman-Wickliffe fronted up to the media, eyes teary. The Black Ferns were devastated and broken, but, she promised, they would reset and be ready to face France in the bronze-medal match at Twickenham this Saturday, the curtain-raiser to the England vs Canada final.

\n

Because her retirement announcement now makes her cringe in embarrassment, 34-year-old Woodman-Wickliffe won't confirm that Saturday's game, subject to being picked, will be her last appearance in the famous black jersey.

\n

"I've learned from the last time that I won't say that," she told New Zealand newspaper The Post this week. "In terms of international rugby, potentially, but I just don't want to say that again, you know. But, I guess so. Next year, I'm planning on having babies, and I want that so much."

\n

The winger acknowledged that putting off having a baby in the last three Olympic cycles prompted her wife, former Black Fern Renee Woodman-Wickliffe, to ask her: "Is it retired or just tired?"

\n

If it is the case, the curtain will close on a 13-year international career also including back-to-back Sevens World Cups, Commonwealth Games gold, 15s and sevens world player of the year awards, and sevens player of the decade.

\n

"She couldn't really care less about these accolades," former Black Fern Ruby Tui said. "She never was like 'I want to be the best in the world, the top try-scorer.' She wanted to have fun, wanted to make her family proud.

\n

"When new people walk into a room, she's the first person to go and greet them, make sure your kids are OK, the elders are OK. She lives for the moment. She's here for a good time, and just has one of the most beautiful hearts I've ever met in my life."

\n

Record 50th try

\n

Impressive club form convinced Woodman-Wickliffe to be available for the Black Ferns for the first time since 2022. In May, seven tries against the United States — not her most in a single test — made her the Ferns' all-time leading try-scorer, passing the great Vanessa Cootes 'record of 43 tries in 16 tests.

\n

Woodman-Wickliffe came to England having topped the last two World Cups in tries, line breaks and defenders beaten. While she's been overshadowed by sensational newcomers Braxton Sorensen-McGee and Jorja Miller — both nominated for world breakthrough player of the year — in the team, only Miller has beaten more defenders, and only Sorensen-McGee averages more meters per carry.

\n

Woodman-Wickliffe has scored twice and extended her all-time World Cup tries record to 22. The pool-stage try against Japan made her the first New Zealand international of any gender to score 50 test tries.

\n

"She gets the ball in her hands, with a defender in front of her, and she does her magic," teammate Alana Bremner said. "Sometimes, as a player, in those moments it's hard to even try to support her, because you can just get stuck watching her. But the thing that stands out to me about 'P' is her humility and her authenticity, regardless of the records she racks up."

\n

The records mean nothing, Woodman-Wickliffe said.

\n

"Anything is achievable with a supportive environment and an absolute belief in yourself," she added. "I love rugby, I love the girls. These ones give me stick day in, day out and I love it."

\n

When she's done playing, Woodman-Wickliffe wants a role to help develop the game and to help return the Black Ferns to the top of world rugby. But she's not done playing yet.

\n

"I'll always play rugby," she told The Post. "I'm going to have to start a golden oldies girls team. I want to play for as long as I can. Maybe I'll have a few babies and come back as a front-rower."

Italian former soccer star Gianfranco Zola drives a golf cart during a practice round prior to the 2025 Ryder Cup on the Black Course at Bethpage State Park in New York on Wednesday.

\n

FARMINGDALE, New York — Europe's star power at the Ryder Cup goes beyond the golfers on the course, now that Gianfranco Zola is manning one of its carts.

\n

The former Chelsea and Italy soccer star is driving vice-captain Francesco Molinari around Bethpage Black this week, perhaps able to offer advice based on his experience of playing in major international competitions.

\n

Justin Rose, who is a Chelsea fan from England, didn't know Zola would be with the Europeans until bumping into him at the team's hotel.

\n

"I meet a lot of really cool people in my life through the game of golf, but I was like: 'Whoa! Wow! Hey, Gianfranco!' I was starstruck, which is amazing," Rose said.

\n

Rose has only become a big soccer fan in recent years thanks to his 16-year-old son, so he acknowledged not being fully aware of some of Zola's career highlights — which include scoring the winning goal for Chelsea in the 1998 Cup Winners' Cup final, being voted the club's best player ever in 2003 and helping Italy finish as runner-up at the 1994 World Cup.

\n

"But I think his energy, what he can provide, I think he's here just to be, sort of — let's call it a fly on the wall," Rose said.

\n

"But, I think if there's a moment that he observes, and can kind of chime in, and can understand the pressure, or can understand momentum, or that locker room mentality, then obviously there's probably going to be something this week where he can relay a really powerful message.

\n

"Hopefully he has that opportunity, because I'd love to hear it."

\n

Back on Black

\n

The memories came back for Cameron Young as soon as he returned to Bethpage Black.

\n

The US Ryder Cup team member couldn't recall being back at the course since winning the New York State Open in 2017. Everything, obviously, looks much different this week outside the ropes, but everything on the course felt familiar.

\n

"I feel like, every year, you get back to the same place, the time in between just goes away, and it's the same thing coming in here," Young said. "Walking out on the first tee, feels like I was here yesterday."

\n

Young shot a then-course-record 64 in the final round to catch Chris DeForest and went on to beat him in a playoff, becoming the first amateur to win the event. Even eight years later, the 28-year-old Young can remember specific details of his round.

\n

"I hit a shot on 12," Young said, "and I don't know what it was, but I think it was maybe a 6-iron, kind of into the wind to the left of the pin on 12, and that was just when I knew that, that day, I had full control over what I was doing."

\n

He had long set a goal to get back to Bethpage for the Ryder Cup, but he needed another rally to make it. Young thought it was a long shot during the middle of this season, but he surged late, finishing in the top 12 in each of his final four events and was chosen as a captain's pick by Keegan Bradley.

\n

Now, Young will try to make new memories on the Black Course.

\n

"Everything feels so much the same," he said. "Obviously, now there are the stands and there are some better players hanging around, but the golf itself just feels so much the same."

\n

No Bethpage for juniors

\n

The Junior Ryder Cup players didn't get to finish up at Bethpage Black as scheduled.

\n

The final-round singles matches on Thursday were shifted to Nassau Country Club because of a forecast of inclement weather that already forced a change to the main Ryder Cup program.

\n

Nassau Country Club, located in Glen Cove, was the site of the foursomes and four-ball matches on Tuesday and Wednesday between the US and European teams of six boys and girls. The decision to keep singles play there was made after the Ryder Cup opening ceremony had already been moved up from Thursday to Wednesday because of rain in the forecast.

\n

The US had a 10-8 lead going into Thursday and needed 15.5 points to win back the trophy that Europe captured in 2023.

\n

Celebrity snapper

\n

Ken Griffey Jr and his camera are back to work at the Ryder Cup.

\n

The MLB Hall of Famer is working for the PGA of America's digital team at the Ryder Cup. He shot the Masters earlier this year for the event's official website.

\n

Griffey, who said he got into photography when his kids began playing sports, had already shot the World Series, the MLB All-Star Game, NFL games and soccer — not to mention driving the pace car during his trip to the Indy 500 last year. The Masters was his first time shooting golf.

\n

An emotional occurrence

\n

The Ryder Cup is packed with so much passion it can bring out emotion from players who don't typically show much.

\n

David Duval was fist-pumping his way around the green at his first Ryder Cup in 1999. Dustin Johnson had to think hard about the most emotion he showed and settled on a big fist pump (not that big) at the Ryder Cup in Medinah.

\n

That led to questions of Cameron Young, the lone New Yorker in this Ryder Cup, known for rarely cracking a smile.

\n

Is there anything this week that could cause him to go crazy?

\n

"Yeah, I think it could happen," Young said with the slightest smile. "There's nothing I would love more than to give myself an opportunity to see what I am capable of on that front."

\n

He is not alone.

\n

Collin Morikawa was asked which American he would like to see get overcome by the energy of the Ryder Cup. "I would love to see Cam Young just throw a massive fist pump in someone's face. I would love it," Morikawa said.

\n

"I mean, home state, home crowd, red, white and blue, played on the Junior Ryder Cup."

\n

Morikawa said he has known Young from junior and college golf, and how competitive he is while remaining so stoic.

\n

"Yeah, I would love to see a nice little putter raise, undercut, fist pump," Morikawa said. "I don't know if he'll do it. He doesn't even smile after he wins. So I'm hoping."

Italian former soccer star Gianfranco Zola drives a golf cart during a practice round prior to the 2025 Ryder Cup on the Black Course at Bethpage State Park in New York on Wednesday.

\n

FARMINGDALE, New York — Europe's star power at the Ryder Cup goes beyond the golfers on the course, now that Gianfranco Zola is manning one of its carts.

\n

The former Chelsea and Italy soccer star is driving vice-captain Francesco Molinari around Bethpage Black this week, perhaps able to offer advice based on his experience of playing in major international competitions.

\n

Justin Rose, who is a Chelsea fan from England, didn't know Zola would be with the Europeans until bumping into him at the team's hotel.

\n

"I meet a lot of really cool people in my life through the game of golf, but I was like: 'Whoa! Wow! Hey, Gianfranco!' I was starstruck, which is amazing," Rose said.

\n

Rose has only become a big soccer fan in recent years thanks to his 16-year-old son, so he acknowledged not being fully aware of some of Zola's career highlights — which include scoring the winning goal for Chelsea in the 1998 Cup Winners' Cup final, being voted the club's best player ever in 2003 and helping Italy finish as runner-up at the 1994 World Cup.

\n

"But I think his energy, what he can provide, I think he's here just to be, sort of — let's call it a fly on the wall," Rose said.

\n

"But, I think if there's a moment that he observes, and can kind of chime in, and can understand the pressure, or can understand momentum, or that locker room mentality, then obviously there's probably going to be something this week where he can relay a really powerful message.

\n

"Hopefully he has that opportunity, because I'd love to hear it."

\n

Back on Black

\n

The memories came back for Cameron Young as soon as he returned to Bethpage Black.

\n

The US Ryder Cup team member couldn't recall being back at the course since winning the New York State Open in 2017. Everything, obviously, looks much different this week outside the ropes, but everything on the course felt familiar.

\n

"I feel like, every year, you get back to the same place, the time in between just goes away, and it's the same thing coming in here," Young said. "Walking out on the first tee, feels like I was here yesterday."

\n

Young shot a then-course-record 64 in the final round to catch Chris DeForest and went on to beat him in a playoff, becoming the first amateur to win the event. Even eight years later, the 28-year-old Young can remember specific details of his round.

\n

"I hit a shot on 12," Young said, "and I don't know what it was, but I think it was maybe a 6-iron, kind of into the wind to the left of the pin on 12, and that was just when I knew that, that day, I had full control over what I was doing."

\n

He had long set a goal to get back to Bethpage for the Ryder Cup, but he needed another rally to make it. Young thought it was a long shot during the middle of this season, but he surged late, finishing in the top 12 in each of his final four events and was chosen as a captain's pick by Keegan Bradley.

\n

Now, Young will try to make new memories on the Black Course.

\n

"Everything feels so much the same," he said. "Obviously, now there are the stands and there are some better players hanging around, but the golf itself just feels so much the same."

\n

No Bethpage for juniors

\n

The Junior Ryder Cup players didn't get to finish up at Bethpage Black as scheduled.

\n

The final-round singles matches on Thursday were shifted to Nassau Country Club because of a forecast of inclement weather that already forced a change to the main Ryder Cup program.

\n

Nassau Country Club, located in Glen Cove, was the site of the foursomes and four-ball matches on Tuesday and Wednesday between the US and European teams of six boys and girls. The decision to keep singles play there was made after the Ryder Cup opening ceremony had already been moved up from Thursday to Wednesday because of rain in the forecast.

\n

The US had a 10-8 lead going into Thursday and needed 15.5 points to win back the trophy that Europe captured in 2023.

Celebrity snapper

\n

Ken Griffey Jr and his camera are back to work at the Ryder Cup.

\n

The MLB Hall of Famer is working for the PGA of America's digital team at the Ryder Cup. He shot the Masters earlier this year for the event's official website.

\n

Griffey, who said he got into photography when his kids began playing sports, had already shot the World Series, the MLB All-Star Game, NFL games and soccer — not to mention driving the pace car during his trip to the Indy 500 last year. The Masters was his first time shooting golf.

President Xi Jinping visits a themed exhibition marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region at a cultural center in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, on Wednesday morning.

\n

A cultural performance is staged on Wednesday evening in Urumqi to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

\n

President Xi Jinping has urged the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region to build a socialist modern Xinjiang that is characterized by unity, harmony, prosperity, affluence, cultural progress and a sound eco-environment, where people live and work in peace and contentment.

\n

Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks on Wednesday after listening to work reports from the CPC Xinjiang regional committee and the regional government.

\n

He also called for efforts to fully and faithfully implement CPC guidelines for governing Xinjiang in the new era, ensure both development and security, and adhere to its strategic positioning.

\n

Xi arrived in Urumqi, the region's capital, on Tuesday, leading a central delegation to Xinjiang for celebrations of the region's 70th founding anniversary, including a grand gathering scheduled for Thursday.

\n

It was the fourth time that Xi has set foot in the region since 2012, with previous fact-finding trips in 2014, 2022 and 2023.

\n

Speaking to local officials on Wednesday, Xi said that over the past seven decades, Xinjiang has witnessed tremendous changes, and he extended sincere greetings and heartfelt wishes to the people of all ethnic groups in the region on behalf of the CPC Central Committee.

\n

Located in Northwest China, Xinjiang covers an area of 1.66 million square kilometers, accounting for about one-sixth of the country's land territory. It serves not only as a western gateway for opening-up, but also as a land rich in agriculture, energy and mineral resources.

\n

Xi said the region should make full use of its natural resources and industrial capabilities and actively explore a high-quality development path suited to its own characteristics.

\n

He urged the region to develop industries with its own unique advantages and foster competitive industrial clusters, promote the in-depth integration of scientific and industrial innovation, and develop its new quality productive forces in light of local conditions.

\n

Xinjiang should also advance the deeper integration of the culture and tourism sectors, better protect and restore its ecosystem, and accelerate its comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development, Xi said.

\n

Last year, Xinjiang received 302 million tourist visits, with total tourism spending of 359.5 billion yuan ($50.4 billion).

\n

Xi said that Xinjiang should accelerate the building of a core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt and play a greater role in the country's dual-circulation development strategy.

\n

He also required prioritizing efforts to safeguard and improve people's well-being and urged the region to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation, vigorously develop social programs, and enable people of all ethnic groups to widely participate in and share the fruits of development.

\n

To maintain social stability in Xinjiang, Xi emphasized the importance of building solid foundations at the grassroots level and strengthening the public line of defense against terrorism.

\n

He also called for fostering a stronger sense of the Chinese nation as one community and making systematic efforts to ensure that religions in China conform to China's realities.

\n

On Wednesday morning, Xi also visited a themed exhibition, held in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, at a cultural center in Urumqi.

\n

He emphasized that the profound changes in Xinjiang over the past 70 years are a vivid reflection of the historic process of national rejuvenation.

\n

Practice has proved that the system of regional ethnic autonomy established by the Party is entirely correct, Xi said, noting that the Party's policy for the governance of Xinjiang in the new era is both scientific and effective, and must be adhered to for the long term.

\n

The exhibition, including photos and historical footage, provides a panoramic view of the development achievements stemming from the unity, diligence and perseverance of people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang over the past 70 years under the strong leadership of the CPC and with vigorous support from other parts of the country.
