It highlights how drones are reshaping agriculture and promoting a green transition.</p>\n<p> Ning Qiwen, publisher of Farmers' Daily, said the white paper serves as a valuable guide for government agencies, research institutions and farmers.</p>\n<p> "Agricultural drones are changing traditional production models with technology and becoming a new engine for ensuring food security," Ning said.</p>\n<p> In 2024, Chinese agricultural drones completed work that covered more than 173 million hectares, generating a market worth about 13 billion yuan ($1.8 billion) and employing nearly 500,000 people, the white paper said.</p>\n<p> More than 12,000 female operators have taken part in plant protection, while an increasing number of young people have returned to rural areas to start businesses in the industry.</p>\n<p> The use of drones has expanded beyond traditional crop spraying to include tasks such as transportation, sowing, fertilization and crop monitoring, it said.</p>\n<p> Technological breakthroughs in 2024 have also shown drones' value beyond crop spraying. In Zigui county, Hubei province, a DJI T100 drone transported 85 kilograms of oranges in two minutes, a task that would take an average person dozens longer to complete.</p>\n<p> In banana-growing areas in Yunnan province, a drone-based dispatch system cuts transportation losses from 30 percent to less than 5 percent. In Sichuan province, drones are being used to transport bamboo, reducing the need for strenuous manual labor in mountainous areas.</p>\n<p> Drones are also being deployed during the entire growing season. In cornfields in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, they are now used for everything from weeding to crop management, leading to a yield increase of more than 10 percent, according to the report.</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, drone-related policies have become more widespread and open. In China, new regulations have established a framework for drone operations.</p>\n<p> National support for the low-altitude economy has given the industry another boost. In 2025, China's No 1 Central Document — a policy paper released at the beginning of each year outlining key priorities — for the first time included low-altitude technology alongside artificial intelligence and big data, positioning agricultural drones as a strategic farming tool.</p>\n<p> Globally, other countries have also streamlined regulations, the white paper said. Brazil's civil aviation authority has simplified registration, while the European Union has adopted international standards for spraying systems. The United States' Federal Aviation Administration has included some DJI agricultural models on its exemption list, and Australia has issued guidelines for more relaxed drone use on private land.</p>\n<p> Li Weiguo, president of the China Agricultural Mechanization Association, stressed the importance of refining regulations to support broader drone use. Existing rules, such as the maximum flight altitude of 30 meters, could be made more flexible to better accommodate the scale and variety of agricultural drone applications, he said.</p>\n<p> <span>zhaoyimeng@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p><br><hr><div>获取更多RSS：<br><a href=\"https://feedx.net\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.net</a> <br><a href=\"https://feedx.site\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.site</a><br></div>",

"description": "<div></div><p> Chinese scientists have transplanted a gene-edited pig lung into a brain-dead patient, marking the world's first successful case of its kind in what international experts called a milestone.</p>\n<p> The operation was carried out by a team led by He Jianxing, a director at the National Center for Respiratory Medicine and president of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Health. The surgery simulated a standard single-lung transplant, and the results were published on Monday in the British journal Nature Medicine.</p>\n<p> He said the achievement is expected to help ease the global shortage of lung transplant donors.</p>\n<p> The donor lung came from a genetically modified Bama miniature pig in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. The organ had undergone six genetic edits to reduce the risk of rejection, according to He.</p>\n<p> After the surgery, monitoring data — including respiration, blood tests and imaging — showed the transplanted lung maintained ventilation and gas exchange functions for up to nine days, he said. The study ended on the ninth day at the request of the patient's family.</p>\n<p> "During this period, no hyperacute rejection reactions occurred, and no signs of active infection were detected through synchronous pathogen monitoring," He said.</p>\n<p> The recipient was a 39-year-old man who had sustained a severe traumatic brain injury.</p>\n<p> The patient's brain death was confirmed by multiple independent evaluations.

His team will further optimize gene editing strategies and anti-rejection treatments to prolong the survival and function of transplanted organs.</p>\n<p> "Meanwhile, we will also apply the tube-free technologies independently developed by our team to xenogeneic lung transplantation to reduce the damage caused by mechanical ventilation and promote the translation of xenotransplantation into clinical applications," He said.</p>\n<p> The transplantation of animal organs into humans is at the forefront of global medical research, and He's results have drawn widespread attention and praise from international experts.</p>\n<p> Beatriz Dominguez-Gil, director of the Spanish National Transplant Organization, noted that previous xenotransplantation trials were limited to kidneys, hearts and livers.

|

"description": "<div></div><p> As the Pentagon is now reviewing the AUKUS security pact between the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, Canberra needs to decide whether it is still ready to push ahead with this US-led project that goes against its own national interests in many aspects.</p>\n<p> The security project that was initiated in 2021 allows the US and the UK to provide Australia with nuclear-powered Virginia-class submarines, alongside related sensitive technologies, with the end goal of Australia acquiring domestic production capabilities. The purported aim is to counter what the US and its allies perceive to be a "China threat" in the Asia-Pacific through enhanced trilateral security and defense collaboration.</p>\n<p> China has firmly opposed the plan since it was announced, saying it is driven by a Cold War mentality and serves only to increase tensions in the region. Besides, the transfer of nuclear-powered submarine reactors and a large amount of highly enriched uranium from nuclear-weapon states to a nonnuclear country constitutes grave nuclear proliferation risks.</p>\n<p> Now, with the current US administration's review of AUKUS being conducted to make sure it meets the "America First" agenda, the possibility has emerged that the project might be put on hold or even dropped as some analysts have predicted.</p>\n<p> Leading the review is Elbridge Colby, the Pentagon's undersecretary for defense policy, who has questioned the wisdom of "giving away" the US nuclear-powered submarines which he called the "crown jewels" of the US military arsenal. He also argued it is hard to support Canberra's procurement plan when the US' naval industrial base is struggling to meet its own submarine production targets.</p>\n<p> An advisor to the previous US administration on the AUKUS project on Monday also highlighted a wide range of problems that need to be addressed for it to proceed. In a joint paper authored with a former State Department official, Abraham Denmark pointed to the lagging US submarine production rates, high costs of AUKUS — it will cost Australia $240 billion over more than 30 years — and a shortage of skilled labor for submarine production in all three countries.</p>\n<p> All this means a moment of uncertainty in Washington, which may come as a chance for Canberra to reconsider and step away from the lopsided arrangement where the US calls the shots with the unilateral right to cancel any aspect of the deal.</p>\n<p> That AUKUS will only make Australia more dependent on other countries militarily and its defense strategies increasingly aligned with US interests also compromises Australia's defense sovereignty and national interests. Not to mention that in doing so it is making other countries' alleged rivals its own.</p>\n<p> This has prompted former Australian prime minister Paul Keating to express the hope the ongoing review "might very well be the moment Washington saves Australia from itself… from the most poorly conceived defense procurement program ever adopted by an Australian government".</p>\n<p> Indeed, deploying nuclear-powered submarines in Australia would disrupt the strategic balance in the Asia-Pacific region, impact the regional nuclear nonproliferation system, and set a bad precedent for nonnuclear countries to have nuclear submarines. Subsequently, other countries in the region may also consider deploying nuclear weapons, which increases the odds of an arms race and poses a serious threat to regional peace and stability.</p>\n<p> Under the plan, Australia will spend huge amounts of money on a navy transformation based on the false belief that China, its largest trading partner and export market for the past 16 years, "threatens" the country's security. The assumption, which has no historical or contemporary proof to support it, will only jeopardize the mutually beneficial partnership between the two countries.</p>\n<p> Canberra should come to terms with reality and exercise strategic autonomy in handling China-related issues. By keeping the momentum of the healthy development of Sino-Australian relations, it can better work with Beijing to improve the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries featuring deeper dialogue, greater mutual trust and expanded cooperation amid shifting global dynamics. It should say no to AUKUS.</p>\n<p></p>",

The record amount was reached sooner than projected.</p>\n<p> In January 2020, the US Congressional Budget Office estimated that gross federal debt would not surpass $37 trillion until after fiscal year 2030.</p>\n<p> But a combination of unprecedented federal borrowings during the COVID-19 pandemic and more recent spending measures pushed the nation to that threshold far sooner.</p>\n<p> Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC, described the situation as a "stunning reminder of the terrible state of federal finances" in a statement released on the organization's website on Aug 12.</p>\n<p> MacGuineas said that $37 trillion in debt is "a mind-boggling figure that has little precedent".</p>\n<p> "The more economically meaningful figure — debt held by the public as a share of output — is also approaching record levels. Our current debt is 100 percent of the economy — higher than any time other than just after World War II — and is rising rapidly," she said.</p>\n<p> Michael Peterson, CEO of the New York-based Peter G. Peterson Foundation, was quoted on Aug 13 by US media network The Center Square as saying, "Our national debt is now greater than the economies of the entire eurozone and China, combined."</p>\n<p> Chinese experts have warned that the US public debt's increase to more than $37.2 trillion — a rise of over $200 billion in just weeks since crossing the $37 trillion mark — poses severe risks to the US economy and potential damage to the credibility of the US dollar.</p>\n<p> Luo Zhenxing, an associate research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of American Studies, emphasized that the escalating debt burden has resulted in surging interest payments.</p>\n<p> These payments now place a significant strain on US federal finances and risk displacing other essential government investments, Luo said.</p>\n<p> According to the US Government Accountability Office, the US government's spending on net interest in fiscal year 2024 exceeded expenditures on some of the largest categories of federal spending, such as Medicare and national defense.</p>\n<p> <b>Undermining confidence</b></p>\n<p> "Rising debt limits the government's ability to deploy fiscal stimulus policies in future crises and undermines investor confidence," Luo said.</p>\n<p> He also expressed worries over the credibility of the US dollar, raising the risk of a fiscal crisis and a shaky economy. "If the US debt continues to rise without effective measures to address it, it could erode global confidence in the dollar," Luo said.</p>\n<p> "A loss of faith in the dollar could lead foreign holders to reduce their holdings in the US Treasury bonds, potentially causing a sharp depreciation of the dollar. Such a scenario could in turn trigger worldwide financial panic, stock market turmoil and commodity price spikes, destabilizing the global economy," he added.</p>\n<p> Song Guoyou, deputy director of the Center for American Studies at Fudan University in Shanghai, highlighted the US challenges in addressing its deficit, given its current fiscal revenue and expenditure dynamics.</p>\n<p> "With defense spending remaining high and mandatory expenditures steady, alongside a decrease in revenue due to recent tax cuts under the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act', the US deficit situation is unlikely to improve anytime soon," he said.</p>\n<p> The Congressional Budget Office projected in July that nearly $3.4 trillion more in deficit spending will be added over the next decade. It also estimated in May that if the current US fiscal policies remain unchanged, the nation's federal debt held by the public could soar from 100 percent of GDP in 2025 to 156 percent by 2055.</p>\n<p> Although the Donald Trump administration has attempted to reduce its fiscal deficit through interest rate cuts and tariff increases, experts cautioned that these measures may offer short-term relief but create more significant problems in the long run.</p>\n<p> Song noted that considering the complex and interconnected nature of the global economy, US policies designed to address the immediate debt may inadvertently create new challenges.</p>\n<p> "The US debt dilemma has become a major source of uncertainty and one of the deepest challenges in the modern world economy."</p>\n<p> <span>yangran1@cLine truncated

Chinese tourists often have high spending power and are increasingly seeking unique, high-quality, and experiential travel, which aligns perfectly with Fiji's premium tourism offerings," he said, adding that Fiji's pristine natural beauty, cultural hospitality, and luxury resorts are major attractions for Chinese travelers.</p>\n<p> Fantasha Lockington, chief executive officer of the Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association, the industry body representing hotels, resorts and other tourism stakeholders in Fiji, told China Daily that the Chinese market recorded "a strong recovery compared to the past few years", with more than 30,000 Chinese travelers visiting Fiji last year.</p>\n<p> <b>Steady growth</b></p>\n<p> The momentum seen in the latest figures is encouraging for the sector as it showed steady growth, she said.</p>\n<p> "We see China as a vital partner for Fiji's tourism growth in the years ahead," Lockington said.</p>\n<p> Fiji's status as a visa-free destination for Chinese travelers on short-term visits and its increasing connectivity via Hong Kong also made it very convenient for those drawn to Fiji "for our white-sand beaches, world-class diving and snorkeling, honeymoon and wedding experiences, and warm Fijian hospitality", she said.</p>\n<p> "Many also enjoy the privacy of our islands, family-friendly resorts, and luxury small-group experiences."</p>\n<p> Thompson from Tourism Fiji said several initiatives are underway or being planned as this year marks the 50th anniversary of China-Fiji diplomatic ties, "a momentous occasion that we are celebrating wholeheartedly within the tourism sector".</p>\n<p> "We will continue to deepen our collaborative relationships with Chinese travel agencies, expanding our network and developing tailored travel packages specifically for Chinese tourists," he said.</p>\n<p> "Simultaneously, we will focus on the 'Fiji, Where Happiness Comes Naturally' brand philosophy, emphasizing themes of outdoor adventure to provide Chinese visitors with more personalized experiences," Thompson said.</p>\n<p> "In November 2025, Tourism Fiji, in partnership with Fiji Airways and other Fijian tourism stakeholders, will conduct a winter road show in key Chinese cities to showcase Fiji's unique travel offerings," he said.</p>\n<p> "Furthermore, we will continue our collaboration with Fiji Airways to enhance flight connectivity between China and Fiji, making travel to Fiji more convenient for Chinese tourists."</p>\n<p> Aware of the value that Chinese travelers place on ease of travel, familyLine truncated

"description": "<div></div><p> China is ramping up efforts to advance a unified and credible national carbon trading system through top-down design, as part of its broader push toward green and low-carbon development, industry experts said.</p>\n<p> On Monday, the central authorities unveiled a guideline to set out overall goals and pathways for the future growth of the national carbon trading market.</p>\n<p> According to the guideline, by 2030, China aims to establish a nationwide carbon trading system built on a total quota cap with both free and paid allocations, while also seeking to build a voluntary emissions reduction market that is credible, transparent, unified in methodology, widely participated in and aligned with international practices.</p>\n<p> The country is expected to deliver notable emission reduction results, improve the regulatory framework and foster a carbon pricing mechanism with reasonable price levels by then, it said.</p>\n<p> "The guideline sets clear targets and a systematic plan for the development of China's carbon market, providing strategic direction for its future progress," said Qian Lihua, executive deputy director of the CIB Institute for Carbon Neutrality and Finance under Industrial Bank.</p>\n<p> Qian added that the document serves as a programmatic guideline for how China will strengthen its carbon market mechanisms to advance its green transition.</p>\n<p> "It covers both the mandatory and voluntary carbon markets, providing solid support for achieving the country's dual carbon goals of peaking emissions before 2030 and reaching carbon neutrality before 2060," she said.</p>\n<p> Expanding industry coverage is one of the major tasks highlighted by the document. According to the guideline, by 2027, the national carbon trading market will cover all major industrial sectors, while the national voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction trading market will expand to include all key fields.</p>\n<p> Building on the current inclusion of power generation, steel, cement and aluminum smelting, the scope will be broadened in an orderly manner to include other industries, based on sectoral development, contributions to emission reduction and pollution control, data quality and emission characteristics, it said.</p>\n<p> "Broadening industry coverage can better amplify the emission reduction effects of the carbon market," said Zhang Xiliang, director of the Institute of Energy, Environment and Economy at Tsinghua University.</p>\n<p> "Bringing more industries into the market helps generate a carbon price signal that reflects the overall cost of emissions in society. Such a signal plays a dual role: guiding cost-effective emission reductions across society, and channeling public and private financial resources toward energy-saving and carbon-cutting initiatives, thereby promoting green and low-carbon technological innovation," Zhang said.</p>\n<p> Another key task lies in expanding market participants. According to the guideline, the country supports financial institutions in developing carbon pledge financing services, and further proposes that qualified financial institutions participate in national carbon trading under lawful, compliant and risk-controlled conditions, with other noncompliance entities to be introduced when appropriate.</p>\n<p> "We expect that, in line with the national carbon market's development goals, and under conditions that ensure stable market operation and manageable risks, large financial institutions — such as banks and insurers — will gradually participate in national carbon market trading. Other noncompliance entities will also be incorporated at an appropriate time depending on market progress," said Qian.</p>\n<p> At present, only compliance entities — enterprises required to participate in a cap-and-trade program to control greenhouse gas emissions — are allowed to participate in the national carbon market.</p>\n<p> "Due to this limitation, although China's carbon market already covers the largest volume of emissions in the world, its trading scale accounts for less than 1 percent of the total value of global carbon markets," the expert said.</p>\n<p> "This shows that to boost the vitality and liquidity of China's carbon market, it is necessary to expand participation beyond compliance entities to include other players, especially financial institutions, allowing them to be involved in trading, market-making and carbon asset management, and help their clients manage carbon-related risks," Qian said.</p>\n<p> <span>Contact the writers at lijiaying@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

Pretty sure no player would like (it), particularly me."</p>\n<p> Alas, Thompson was scheduled to face Corentin Moutet on Sunday — but did manage to win in four sets — as things got going at Flushing Meadows, where there will now be 15 days of singles competition instead of 14, and there's little doubt that more money from all sorts of sources was part of the calculus behind the change.</p>\n<p> "I'm not really a fan of it. I don't know why they had to make it even longer. Well, I know why they did it — they get to sell tickets for an extra day," said 2024 US Open runner-up Jessica Pegula, this year's No 4 seed, who beat Mayar Sherif 6-0, 6-4 on Sunday night in Arthur Ashe Stadium. "I'm not really for it. I don't think a lot of the players were for it, especially those who play the week before a Slam.</p>\n<p> "It makes everything a little longer and a little harder. I don't think a lot of players want that."</p>\n<p> Pegula cited the move by the US Tennis Association — which followed the French Tennis Federation's decision to begin on Sunday in 2006, and the Australian Open's move to do the same in 2024 — as an example of her sport's repeated failure to ask for, or follow up on, athletes' input. Wimbledon is now the lone major that starts on Monday.</p>\n<p> "A lot of times, they ask for player feedback, and, when we do (respond), they don't listen to anything we say," said Pegula, one of 20 players who signed a letter in March addressed to the people who run the Grand Slam events to ask for better communication, more contributions to player welfare and a higher share of revenue. "The way they go about announcing these things, sometimes players aren't aware."</p>\n<p> This also comes at a time that players have complained about the recent shift to longer non-Slam tournaments that last more than a week.</p>\n<p> Those in charge of tennis point to higher prize money that comes from those extended tournaments — and changes, such as the extra day, have coincided with increases in prize money, which is up to a record $85 million, including $5 million to each singles champion, at the US Open.</p>\n<p> USTA spokesman Brendan McIntyre said adding a 15th day of singles can not only "provide more fans the opportunity to see main draw singles competition in person, but also gives fans around the globe the opportunity to watch (on television) on a weekend day and night".</p>\n<p> No 6 seed Ben Shelton was the opening act in Ashe at noon on Sunday, and said before his 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Peruvian qualifier Ignacio Buse that he understood why tournaments would want an extra weekend day of ticket sales — and he was pleased to be on the side of the men's draw that went first.</p>\n<p> Still, there are players, such as Thompson, two-time US Open semifinalist Frances Tiafoe or Matteo Arnaldi of Italy, who said it's a mistake to set things up so that someone who makes a tournament debut on Sunday and wins wouldn't play again until Wednesday, a change to the every-other-day rhythm at the Slams.</p>\n<p> "I mean, I get it," Tiafoe, an American who is seeded 17th, said about the Sunday opening. "Why not? If you can make money on a day and get the guys out there, and we're already all here anyway (on what used to be) kind of a dead day, it'Line truncated

Their work has helped solve some of the mysteries surrounding primitive foundry technologies.</p>\n<p> The vessel, which was unearthed at the Yinxu Ruins in Anyang, Henan province, features a bovine head with a slightly open mouth, distinct horns, a bulky body and short, thick legs resembling those of a buffalo. It is 40 centimeters long and 22.5 cm tall, including the lid, and weighs 7.1 kilograms. Its surface is decorated with patterns of tigers, dragons, birds and fish.</p>\n<p> Excavated from the tomb of a high-ranking military general and tribal leader, Ya Zhang, whose name is cast on the buffalo's neck and the inner wall of the lid, the bronze vessel is believed to have been used as a ritual wine container during the late Shang Dynasty (c.16th century-11th century BC).</p>\n<p> Casting such complex figures poses far greater challenges than making simple geometric shapes, and how ancient artisans achieved the flawless designs with limited tools and materials had long been a mystery.</p>\n<p> Members of the research team, led by Yang Huan, an associate professor at Northwestern Polytechnical University's Institute of Culture and Heritage in Xi'an, applied their knowledge of materials science in computer simulations to duplicate the bronze pouring and solidification process.</p>\n<p> Using 3D scanning to capture millimeter-level details and reverse modeling technology to build a virtual casting workshop, the researchers re-created the ancient process with unprecedented detail.</p>\n<p> "It's like performing a holographic scan on the artifact," said Fang Minghui, a PhD candidate and member of the team. "For the first time, we have dynamically duplicated the entire process to understand how molten bronze flowed and solidified inside the pottery mold."</p>\n<p> The team tested two pouring gates — one at the right hind leg and another at the left front leg — to observe the differences in solidification time and the distribution of defects. Their findings confirmed that the ancient crafts-men used the right hind leg to pour molten metal when they cast the buffalo-shaped vessel.</p>\n<p> "The precision with which Shang Dynasty artisans controlled the gate location fully aligns with modern materials science principles," associate professor Yang said, pointing to the simulated flow path of molten bronze in a dynamic video demonstration.</p>\n<p> Equally remarkable is the thickness of the vessel's wall, which was maintained at about 3 millimeters throughout, a standard that matches modern casting criteria, she added.</p>\n<p> The buffalo — an animal revered in the Shang Dynasty as a sacred medium between heaven and earth — gave the vessel exceptional status at Yinxu. It is the only known bovine-shaped bronze vessel to be unearthed at the site.</p>\n<p> "Even when examined through a modern lens, the technical skills of the artisans can only be described as extraordinary," Yang said.</p>\n<p> Casting such a vessel would have required a fully customized pouring system, akin to what would be needed for a precision engineering project in modern times, she said.</p>\n<p> "The artisans had thoroughly mastered the tempering of tin bronze," Yang said. "In an era without instruments, they relied on their accumulated experience to precisely control alloy ratios and achieve flawless casting within margins of millimeters."</p>\n<p> Chinese bronze craftsmanship, which began to emerge in the late Neolithic period, or New Stone Age, reached its zenith in the late Shang Dynasty.</p>\n<p> Yang's team plans to apply the same high-tech methods to study other bronze artifacts and further explore ancient manufacturing techniques, materials and purposes.</p>\n<p> The casting technique used at Yinxu demonstrates the creativity and persistence of ancient artisans, Yang said.</p>\n<p> "In an era when technology was less developed, they made beautiful things — perhaps after numerous trials aLine truncated

"description": "<div></div><p> With this year's school opening season coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, many universities have incorporated wartime history, the spirit of resistance and patriotism into their opening ceremonies to kick off the new semester.</p>\n<p> At the Renmin University of China in Beijing, more than 3,000 undergraduates attended the opening ceremony on Monday. Chen Hong, granddaughter of war hero Zhao Yiman, delivered a keynote speech urging students to draw strength from the deeds of revolutionary martyrs and strive to become capable talent dedicated to national rejuvenation.</p>\n<p> A digital avatar of Zhao, whom Chen had never met, was presented on stage. Chen shared excerpts from her grandmother's family letter, noting that her father — the first student enrolled in the university's diplomacy department — had handwritten a copy of the letter for her.</p>\n<p> "I now stand where he once studied," she said. "I hope each of you will draw strength from these heroes and grow into pillars capable of strengthening the nation and achieving national rejuvenation."</p>\n<p> She added: "Dear students, always remember the difficult years of the Chinese people's resistance against Japanese aggression. Remember the countless martyrs like Zhao Yiman, who fought for national survival, renewal and human justice, and who now rest in the green hills and yellow earth beneath us."</p>\n<p> At Tsinghua University in Beijing, about 4,000 freshmen attended their opening ceremony on Thursday. President Li Luming reflected on the legacy of National Southwest Associated University, formed in 1937 during the war through the merger of Tsinghua University, Peking University and Nankai University. Located in Yunnan province under wartime conditions, Southwest Associated preserved China's educational heritage.</p>\n<p> Li said universities serve as vital vessels of cultural inheritance. During the war against Japanese aggression, more than 100 Chinese institutions relocated to the western and southern regions, preserving academic traditions and nurturing talent despite displacement and conflict. He noted that more than 1,100 Southwest Associated students enlisted in the military, and many lost their lives.</p>\n<p> "Southwest Associated remains a special chapter in Tsinghua's history. Its spirit is interwoven with Tsinghua's traditions and reflects the essence of our motto-'Self-Discipline and Social Commitment' — amid national peril," Li said.</p>\n<p> He encouraged students to uphold the spirit of the resistance war, inherit the legacy of the university, study diligently, pioneer innovation and demonstrate determination and excellence in serving national development and rejuvenation.</p>\n<p> Renmin freshman Wang Hongming comes from Yangquan, Shanxi province, a revolutionary base where the Hundred Regiments Offensive was launched 85 years ago.</p>\n<p> "From the first people's city founded by the Party to the first regular university established by the Party, I have followed its red footsteps and am deeply grateful for the passing on of the revolutionary spirit," he said.</p>\n<p> Wang said he hopes students heed the Party's guidance and take practical action to become pioneers and innovators. He urged his peers to be down-to-earth, apply theoretical knowledge in practice and contribute to the development of the motherland.</p>\n<p> Xu Ruize, a freshman at Tsinghua's Shuimu College, traced his roots to Fushun, Liaoning province — the birthplace of the "Lei Feng Spirit" and once known as China's "coal capital".</p>\n<p> He recalled observing the vast open-pit mine that fueled New China's industrial growth and his parents' factory, which relocated due to mining-induced subsidence.</p>\n<p> "Since I learned to write, I've expressed one wish: to make my hometown better," he said. "How can I contribute? This question planted a simple aspiration in meto become someone useful to my hometown and country."</p>\n<p> Xu also referred to the Sept 18 Incident in 1931 that marked the start of Japan's invasion of China.</p>\n<p> "History tells us that only when the country is strong can families be safe and prosperous," he said. "The words 'home and country' remain firm values in Tsinghua people's hearts. I hope to join my peers to shoulder our generation's mission and integrate our learning into the grand blueprint of national rejuvenation."</p>\n<p> <span>zoushuo@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

Perched on the southern edge of China and rubbing shoulders with the Hong Kong, it was mostly farmland and fishing villages. But in 1979, it was named Shenzhen and designated as a city. A year later, it became one of China's earliest special economic zones. The rest, as they say, is economic history.</p>\n<p> Fast forward to 2024. Today, Shenzhen is a very different place: a metropolis of glass towers, a magnet for start-ups, a hub for high-tech giants such as Huawei, BYD, DJI and ZTE. Its GDP now exceeds that of Hong Kong by 27 percent — a remarkable reversal of fortunes, considering its GDP once was just 0.62 percent of Hong Kong's economy.</p>\n<p> This transformation raises a question echoed far beyond China's borders: Is Shenzhen's model of industrialization sustainable? And, more provocatively, can it be copied?</p>\n<p> To answer that, we must go back to where it all began.</p>\n<p> Shenzhen didn't start with shiny tech parks or unicorns. It started with the basics: labor-intensive manufacturing, known locally as the "three-plus-one" trade mix — custom manufacturing using supplied materials, designs, or samples, alongside compensatory trade. It was not glamorous. Nor was it high-margin. But it worked.</p>\n<p> In a country with abundant workforce but short on capital, the model allowed Shenzhen to tap into global supply chains and develop economic muscles. Crucially, it also attracted entrepreneurs, investments, and people hungry for opportunity. In China's modern industrial awakening, Shenzhen was its classroom.</p>\n<p> A mighty tree grows from a tiny seed. Shenzhen's story reminds us that the height of your starting point matters less than whether you've chosen a starting point that pays.</p>\n<p> But integrating into global value chains was only the first step. What transformed Shenzhen from a low-cost workshop into a global tech powerhouse was its steady commitment to market-based reforms and rule-based institutions.</p>\n<p> For 45 years, Shenzhen empowered its enterprises, not by shielding them from competition, but by exposing them to it. Markets weren't seen as a threat to policy, but as a vehicle for reform. Many of the early assembly-line enterprises moved up the ladder: from original equipment manufacturer to research and development, from anonymous factories to global brands.</p>\n<p> Electronics manufacturing, because of Shenzhen's modularity and ease of relocation, clustered quickly in the city. This gave rise to an ecosystem that nurtured giant enterprises such as Huawei and ZTE. Other firms, like BYD and DJI, pivoted their core technologies — batteries, sensors, control systems — into sectors as diverse as electric vehicles (EVs), medical devices and drones.</p>\n<p> It was a kind of industrial evolution by natural selection, but with a twist. The government established the initial rules of the game, but the market decided the winners.</p>\n<p> Markets, however, can stall. And when they do, governments must act, not as dominating entities, but as guides. Shenzhen never mistook momentum for inevitability. In the 1990s, when it seemed the "three-plus-one" model had run its course, the city pivoted to cultivating private tech firms, building R&D parks, and promoting innovation. In the 2000s, it broadened that approach — offering incubators, improving intellectual property rights protection, and building regional innovation ecosystems.</p>\n<p> By the 2010s, amid rising global tensions and tech restrictions by some economies, Shenzhen doubled down on resilience, strengthening the rule of law, fostering an open business environment, and promoting homegrown innovation. Innovation wasn't just about patents; it was about survival.</p>\n<p> Consider this number. In 2024, Shenzhen produced nearly 2.94 million EVs — more than any other Chinese city. Not bad for a place that didn't make cars at all in the past.</p>\n<p> The secret? Timing and trust in the market.</p>\n<p> More than a decade ago, Shenzhen embraced the green transition early, backing pioneering EV companies such as BYD and Wuzhoulong. It electrified public transport fleets — buses, taxis — before electrification became fashionable. And it built entire industrial bases around EVs, not by picking winners, but by letting market signals drive scale.</p>\n<p> By 2017, Shenzhen had become the world's first city to fully electrify its bus system. In 2024, EVs made up 76.9 percent of all new vehicle sales in the city. Shenzhen didn't just catch the EV wave — it helped create it.</pLine truncated
