Archaeological evidence indicates that ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia may have been in contact at least 10,000 years ago, when people in Mesopotamia began to farm and domesticate animals, and so making the transition from hunter-gatherers to an agricultural society. Many scholars believe that this social and technological revolution may have influenced similar developments in ancient Egypt, but there's been no irrefutable proof of direct contact between the populations until now.考古证据表明，古埃及文明和美索不达米亚文明可能早在一万年前就有过接触。当时，美索不达米亚人开始进行农垦并驯化动物，从而开启了从狩猎采集者向农耕社会的转变。许多学者相信，这一社会和技术变革可能影响了古埃及文明的类似发展进程，但此前还没有确凿的证据证明两个人群之间发生过直接接触。
Scientists have been using ancient DNA analysis to track changes in human evolution over millions of years, but refinements of the technique mean the technology now has the potential to show more recent historical events in a new way.科学家一直在用对人类远古 DNA 的分析来追踪人类在数百万年间的进化过程，但这项技术的改进意味着它现在有可能以一种新的方式呈现更近期的历史事件。

\nThe latest release comprises 3,010 pages of archival documents, 194 minutes of video footage, 312 photographs, 12 postcards, and eight letters, most of which have been shown to the public for the first time.
\nThe materials involve multiple military and medical institutions, including the Imperial Japanese Army Medical School, Unit 731 in Harbin, Unit 1644 in Nanjing of Jiangsu province, and Unit 8604 in Guangzhou of Guangdong province.
\nThey cover a broad range of topics, from personnel rosters and daily life records to pathological dissection manuals, photographic archives, and combat handbooks used during Japan's biological warfare campaigns.
\nAccording to Jin Chengmin, curator of the Exhibition Hall of Evidences of Crime Committed by Unit 731 of the Japanese Imperial Army, the latest evidence is drawn from three main sources, including official Japanese archives, oral testimonies from former Unit 731 members, and evidence collected from Japanese private sources, Xinhua News Agency reported.
\nThe combined textual, photographic, oral and physical evidence offers direct proof of the existence of Unit 731 and its organizational structure, scale, and personnel.
\nIt reveals extensive collaboration between certain government, military, medical and academic sectors of Japan in waging biological warfare.

\nFor decades, the Exhibition Hall of Evidences of Crime Committed by Unit 731 of the Japanese Imperial Army has conducted investigations across China and abroad to collect evidence of Japan's wartime biological warfare.
\nIts work has extended to Japan, the United States, Russia and Germany, preserving over 423 hours of oral testimony from former Unit 731 members and amassing more than 300,000 pages of documents.
\nEstablished in Harbin in 1933, Unit 731 served as the nerve center of Japan's germ warfare during World War II.
\nOperating under the guise of "epidemic prevention", it carried out inhumane human experiments, inflicting extreme suffering on victims from multiple countries.
\nTo further expose these crimes, the exhibition hall announced on Friday that it will open a special exhibition showcasing 3,482 pages of documents and 662 artifacts collected over the past decade from China, Japan, the US and Russia.
\nFriday also saw the launch of an illustrated catalogue of the cultural relics from the Exhibition Hall of Evidences of Crime Committed by Unit 731. Published in Chinese, Korean, English, Russian and Japanese, the comprehensive volume compiles decades of archaeological discoveries, field investigations, cross-border evidence collection and artifact donations.
\nFriday marked the 80th anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender in World War II in 1945, and the 40th anniversary of the exhibition hall's establishment in 1985.

\nPayzawat county in Kashgar prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, has become China's largest plum producer, thanks in part to assistance from South China's Guangdong province.
\n"The county boasts 38,000 hectares of plum orchards, accounting for about half of China's total," said Wu Congying, head of Guangdong's assistance work team, who now works as the deputy secretary of the county Party committee.
\nThe county's annual plum production makes up 70 percent of the country's total, according to the county's data.
\nPlum cultivation in Payzawat has a long history, but was previously unstructured and less profitable. Preserving fresh plums was also once a major challenge for local farmers.
\nIn recent years, assistance programs from Guangdong have helped transform the industry by integrating research, education and production, leading to the establishment of a modern plum industrial park.
\nTo support the growth of the local plum industry, eight research teams have been set up in the park, focusing on the key challenges such as product development and pest control.
\nMeanwhile, a countywide cold chain logistics system has been established to improve storage and distribution.
\n"The abundant sunlight, along with trace elements like calcium, potassium and selenium in land and water, creates an ideal environment for plum cultivation," said Dang Yu, the Party secretary of the development service center of Payzawat's modern agricultural industrial park, where the plum park is based.
\n"The plums are rich in anthocyanins and vitamins, offering antioxidant and digestive benefits, making them highly popular among consumers," said Dang.
\nThe quality plums have attracted 25 enterprises to produce 22 types of products, including juice, dried fruit, wine and jam.
\nCurrently, 70 percent of Payzawat's plums are sold fresh, while the remaining are processed into juices, jams and other goods.
\nToday, the plum industry in the county has evolved from simple plantation into a full-fledged industrial chain covering planting, harvesting, sorting, packaging, processing, cold storage and sales. It has created jobs for more than 150,000 people.
\n"The plum harvest season lasts nearly two months, during which over 300 farmers work daily at our company, earning more than 200 yuan ($28) per day," said Guo Haijun, head of Kashgar Pagoda Anda Smart Agriculture Company.
\nLast year, the company purchased 3,000 metric tons of plums from local growers.
\n"My family planted one hectare of plum trees, and this is the first fruit-bearing year," said Elminur Ablat, a local resident. "The fresh fruit sales have already brought in an income of around 18,000 yuan this year."
\nWith the trees reaching full productivity by the third year, Ablat expects her annual income from the orchard to exceed 80,000 yuan, based on local growers' experience.
\nThe county aims to further expand its plum industry into a national-level modern agricultural cluster, according to the local government.

\nSuch resilience is underpinned by expanding domestic demand and deeper integration with global markets, they said.
\nIn contrast to goods trade, trade in services refers to the sale and delivery of intangible services such as transportation, tourism, entertainment and professional services, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
\nChina's trade in services maintained steady growth in the first half, with total imports and exports reaching 3.89 trillion yuan ($542.45 billion), up 8 percent year-on-year, Ministry of Commerce data showed in early August.
\nThe continued growth of China's trade in services reflects structural shifts toward higher-value sectors, underpinned by the country's policy support, consumption and industrial upgrading, said Wang Bo, deputy director of the ministry's department of trade in services and commercial services.
\nZhao Jinping, vice-president of the China Association of Trade in Services, said that amid uncertainty created by protectionism and unilateralism, strengthening service trade can be essential for China to cushion against possible headwinds and support its economic growth.
\nPoh-Yian Koh, president of FedEx China, said that China's ongoing efforts to widen opening-up will make trade in services a key driver of fresh competitive advantages in the years ahead.
\nShe added that the company completed the upgrade of its international export services in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, last month.
\nWei Xiang, a researcher specializing in trade in services at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, said that with China's opening-up measures creating new opportunities in modern services, multinational corporations are increasing investment in areas such as entertainment, tourism and bonded maintenance.
\nBonded maintenance refers to activity in which enterprises, operating outside special Customs zones, import goods or transportation tools from overseas that have damaged components, functional failures or quality defects. These items are inspected and repaired and then reexported.
\nBuilding on this momentum, policymakers at both the national and local levels have rolled out targeted measures to accelerate the growth of bonded maintenance, aiming to shorten turnaround times, lower operational costs and strengthen the sector's role as a competitive driver within China's expanding trade in services.
\nMa Tianshi, general manager of Siemens Shenzhen Magnetic Resonance, said, "The new policies enabled us to build a bonded maintenance center in Shenzhen last year, helping us better serve customers worldwide."
\nPreviously, magnetic resonance imaging components and much high-end medical equipment could not be repaired in China, requiring shipment to Germany, with cycles exceeding a month, Ma said.
\nNew bonded maintenance policies now cut turnaround times to five to seven days, enabling companies to meet customer needs far more efficiently, he added.
\nThe German company's bonded maintenance center completed repairs on nearly 2,000 MRI coils and filed bonded maintenance import and export declarations for nearly 6,000 MRI component items in the first half of the year, with a total trade value of about $9.3 million.

\nThe sustained expansion of China's trade in services will remain a key driver of the country's broader economic growth and has emerged as a new magnet for foreign investment, said market observers and business executives.
\nSuch resilience is underpinned by expanding domestic demand and deeper integration with global markets, they said.
\nIn contrast to goods trade, trade in services refers to the sale and delivery of intangible services such as transportation, tourism, entertainment and professional services, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
\nChina's trade in services maintained steady growth in the first half, with total imports and exports reaching 3.89 trillion yuan ($542.45 billion), up 8 percent year-on-year, Ministry of Commerce data showed in early August.
\nThe continued growth of China's trade in services reflects structural shifts toward higher-value sectors, underpinned by the country's policy support, consumption and industrial upgrading, said Wang Bo, deputy director of the ministry's department of trade in services and commercial services.
\nZhao Jinping, vice-president of the China Association of Trade in Services, said that amid uncertainty created by protectionism and unilateralism, strengthening service trade can be essential for China to cushion against possible headwinds and support its economic growth.
\nPoh-Yian Koh, president of FedEx China, said that China's ongoing efforts to widen opening-up will make trade in services a key driver of fresh competitive advantages in the years ahead.

\nChina's first commercial electron beam lithography system (EBL), "Xi Zhi", developed by Zhejiang University, has entered application testing, matching international precision standards and marking significant progress in domestic quantum chip research and development.
\nAt the university's Yuhang institute for quantum innovation, the research team is rigorously testing the large, cabinet-like machine.
\n"This isn't an ordinary machine, but a 'nano-brush' capable of carving the map of an entire city on a single strand of hair!" the team leader said. Developed at a key provincial lab, the 100kV "Xi Zhi" system is now commercially available.
\nThe system is named after Wang Xizhi, a famous Chinese calligrapher. "The difference is that it uses an electron beam instead of a brush, carving circuits on chips," a senior researcher said. Targeting quantum chips and advanced semiconductors, "Xi Zhi" directly "writes" circuits onto silicon wafers with 0.6 nanometer precision and 8 nanometer line width. It enables flexible design modifications without traditional photomasks. "In the early research and development phase, numerous design iterations requiring line-by-line adjustments are common. EBL offers high precision and convenience in 'writing,' greatly boosting efficiency in chip development," the researcher added.
\nThe development of "Xi Zhi" breaks a critical barrier.
\nPreviously, such cutting-edge technology was restricted by international export controls, leaving top institutions like the University of Science and Technology of China and Zhejiang University's own labs unable to procure it.
\n"Xi Zhi" is now in procurement discussions with entities like Huawei HiSilicon and multiple research institutes, priced below the international average.
\nThe success of "Xi Zhi" stems from the "dual-new integration" model put forth by Zhejiang province, which merges technological and industrial innovation.
\nThe application testing of "Xi Zhi" represents a major breakthrough in the localization of core high-end semiconductor equipment. This "graver", independently controlled by China, provides a solid foundation for accelerating the development of domestic high-end chips.
\nYuhang district of Hangzhou is prioritizing integrated reforms in education, science, and talent, with AI as a key driver, to build a demonstration zone for innovation. Future efforts will focus on creating more landmark achievements through high-level platforms, talent, enterprises, projects, and tech finance.

\nPeople in the United States were drowning in $18.3 trillion of household debt in the second quarter of the year, a new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York shows, just as producer prices edged higher last month, which could mean that businesses will soon start raising consumer prices, warn experts.
\nThe findings in the latest quarterly report by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Center for Microeconomic Data, released in August, come amid multiple warnings that families will likely face extra costs due to the US administration's tariffs on imports.
\nArnold P., 55, an economist and financial adviser from Brooklyn, New York, withheld his surname to protect the anonymity of his clients. He revealed that many people he sees are desperate to find ways to lower their outgoings in preparation for higher costs, but are finding it difficult due to debt.
\n"I see a lot of people whose finances are barely above water, mostly due to debt," he told China Daily. "(They have) college loans, a mortgage, some have six-figure credit card debt.
\n"I warn them that when your debt service is 40 percent or more and you have inflation, your necessities are costing you much more and if you have very little savings, then this is a recipe for disaster. I believe this is the case for many working families and individuals who are already complaining about the cost of living."
\nHousehold debt increased by $185 billion (1 percent) in Q2 2025, to $18.39 trillion, the New York Fed found.
\n"This quarter's flow of household debt into serious delinquency was mixed across debt types, with credit card and auto loans holding steady, student loans continuing to rise, and mortgages edging up slightly," Joelle Scally, an economic policy adviser at the New York Fed, said in a statement.
\nThe rise in personal debt comes alongside the release of a separate report on Thursday by the Labor Department, which showed that US wholesale inflation surged unexpectedly last month, in a sign that Trump's tariffs were not only pushing up costs for businesses, but higher prices could soon be a reality for consumers.
\nChristopher Rupkey, chief economist at fwdbonds, a financial markets research firm, wrote in a note that "it will only be a matter of time before producers pass their higher tariff-related costs onto the backs of inflation-weary consumers".
\nThe producer price index measures inflation before it hits consumers, or the final demand goods and services prices. It rose 0.9 percent last month from June, compared with the Dow Jones estimate of a 0.2 percent gain. It was its biggest jump in three years. And compared with 2024, wholesale prices rose 3.3 percent.
\nCarl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics, told Reuters: "This is a kick in the teeth for anyone who thought that tariffs would not impact domestic prices in the United States economy. This report is a strong validation of the Fed's wait-and-see stance on policy changes."
\nFinancial markets anticipate that the Fed may cut rates in September.
\nJoao F. Gomes, the Howard Butcher III professor of finance and senior vice-dean of research, centers, and academic initiatives at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, is an expert on the role of financial markets in the macroeconomy.
\nHe told China Daily that the US economy is slowing down, "and this might be driven by some nervousness about hiring and investing by businesses in response to the new administration's changing policies".
\nOverall, the impact of tariffs may mean an average family could pay $2,400 a year, according to the Yale Budget Lab.
\nYet 59 percent of US citizens don't have enough savings to cover an unexpected $1,000 emergency expense, a Bankrate emergency savings report conducted with SSRS and YouGov in January found.
\nAbout 46 percent of adults surveyed by Bankrate, a consumer financial services firm based in New York, had enough emergency savings to cover three months of expenses. But 24 percent had no emergency savings at all.
\nData from the New York Fed showed that credit card balances rose by $27 billion from the previous quarter to $1.21 trillion. Meanwhile, auto loan balances also increased by $13 billion to $1.66 trillion. Student loan balances went up $7 billion to $1.64 trillion.
\nIn total, non-housing balances rose by $45 billion, a 0.9 percent increase from Q1 2025. Lastly, mortgage balances rose by $131 billion in the second quarter and were $12.9 trillion by June 2025, the Fed said.
\nArnold, the financial adviser, says that households will undoubtedly be affected by higher prices on goods as the US relies on imports "of products from Canada, Mexico and China".
\nHe suggests that any household that is battling debt should focus on ensuring the basics are covered.
\n"I mean, obviously, rent is high," he added. "It absolutely constricts the budget. … That's always your first priority, paying the rent, paying the mortgage, and then everything else, including food, is secondary."

\nSpeaking at a joint news conference after the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Foreign Ministers' Meeting, Wang reiterated China's stance on historical issues, as Friday marks the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II.
\nEight decades ago, Japan was defeated, accepted the Potsdam Proclamation, and announced its unconditional surrender, Wang said.
\nYet today, certain forces in Japan still attempt to whitewash, deny, distort, and even rewrite history, glorifying war criminals — a disgraceful act which Wang said only brings shame upon themselves.
\nHe condemned such actions as a challenge to the United Nations Charter, the post-war international order, human conscience, and all the victorious nations and their people.
\n"Only by facing history can Japan earn respect; only by drawing lessons from the past can it forge a future; and only by remembering history can Japan avoid straying onto the wrong path again," Wang stressed.
\nIn Tokyo on Thursday, officials and experts at a symposium themed "80 Years since the End of the Pacific War, 80 Years since Japan's Defeat: Toward Building a Peaceful World", expressed similar viewpoints.
\nThe symposium was organized on Thursday by the Association for Inheriting and Propagating the Murayama Statement, a Japanese civic group dedicated to upholding the 1995 Murayama Statement that acknowledges Japan's wartime mistakes.
\nFormer Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama pointed out that true "patriotism" means confronting historical facts and acknowledging past mistakes with courage.
\nHe stressed that Japan cannot simply claim that "compensation has been completed and responsibility fulfilled". Responsibility ends only when the victorious countries or former colonies declare they will no longer pursue claims.
\nHe said: "I believe that promoting peace and the development of democracy, based on a profound reflection on past history, is the path Japan should follow."
\nOn Friday, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba expressed "remorse" over the war, which he called a mistake, restoring the word in a Japanese leader's address for the first time since 2013, when former premier Shinzo Abe shunned it.
\nIshiba, however, did not mention Japan's aggression across Asia or apologize. Earlier in the day, at least one cabinet minister joined thousands of visitors at the notorious Yasukuni Shrine.
\nTakakage Fujita, secretary-general of the Association for Inheriting and Propagating the Murayama Statement, quoted Japanese writer Shuichi Kato: "Distorting history brings absolutely no benefit and causes countless harms."
\nChinese Ambassador to Japan Wu Jianghao said that 80 years after Japan's defeat, the country should fulfill its serious political commitments, thoroughly repudiate any actions that distort, glorify, or deny the history of aggression.
\n"Japan should demonstrate through concrete actions its adherence to peaceful development, thereby earning the trust of the Chinese people, the Japanese people, neighboring Asian countries, and the international community," Wu said.
\nAkira Yamada, a professor at Meiji University, noted that Japan's pacifism has often been framed by the slogan "not to become a new victim", but emphasized that "avoiding becoming a new aggressor" is even more important.
\nYamada stressed that Japan should foster friendly relations with China and warned that hostile rhetoric toward China is extremely dangerous. "Distorting historical understanding will ultimately erode our own politics and society," he said.
\nHajime Takano, director of the East Asian Community Institute, also warned that hostile rhetoric toward China is dangerous and argued that the idea that "a Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency" is unfounded. He noted that the Taiwan question is a legacy of the Chinese civil war.
\nTakano also criticized certain Japanese media for reporting on related events without considering the complex background.
\nTomoyoshi Kimura, director of the Northeast Asia Dynamics Study Group, emphasized that most people in Japan today were born after the war. Although they did not directly commit wartime crimes, they still bear a responsibility to humbly inherit and convey historical lessons.

Emery meets Lili again in 2019, almost 40 years after he took the girl's photo.
\nIn the early spring of 1980, Mike Emery stepped onto the land of China for the very first time. As a crew member of a cruise ship and a photographer, Emery, 23, wandered with a camera through the streets and captured images of people's daily lives in several major cities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin, framing many vibrant and colorful moments that are now gradually fading with time.
\nBorn in Staffordshire, England, and later settling down in Sydney, Australia, Emery vividly remembers his first trip to China 45 years ago, which he describes as exciting, lucky, and full of new discoveries.
\nAt that time, Emery got a job on a new cruise ship based in Japan that was heading to China. Over the course of about three months, he participated in seven cruise trips, making him one of the first foreign tourists to visit the nation since its reform and opening-up. He randomly captured scenes of daily lives during China's early transformative era.
\nHis photography book, China 1980, was published in 2019, and an exhibition, Nice to Meet You, running until Tuesday in Shanghai, displays over 100 photos from the book.
\n"When our ship first docked at the port city of Tianjin, we didn't know what to expect, but it was like a carnival. There was an air of excitement, complete with flags, streamers and a marching band to greet us," Emery writes in the book.
\nHe clearly stood out at that time as a foreigner with fair hair, wearing colorful clothes and carrying a strange object — as many people had not seen such a camera before. Emery was curious about the nation and its residents.
\n"Groups of up to 50 people would surround me, wanting to speak English, all supremely curious. They were all invariably polite and would ask, 'Excuse me, may I practice my English?'" writes Emery.
\nYet, language did not stop Emery from exploring the streets or diving into the crowds. He would put on a big smile, pull funny faces, stick his tongue out, or lie on his back in the middle of the street, trying to stimulate some kind of reaction.
\nThat was how Emery captured one of his highlighted photos during the trip — a boy stretching out his hands to the photographer with a big smile as if to say, "nice to meet you".
\nChildren make up a large part of Emery's photos. Through his lens, he captured children playing on the streets, as well as groups of children he encountered at a kindergarten or on their way to school, most giving him a smile and wave.
\n"When you look at the laughing faces of these children, you can see the innocence in their eyes. There is no sense of stress. Life was simple. Pure happiness seems to erupt from the smiles of these beautiful people," says Emery.
\n"They are wonderful subjects to photograph, and their characters shine through these pages. You will see … the way their stance evokes a sense of pride, both personal and cultural."
\nThe photographer noted that children everywhere in 1980 were dressed in brightly colored clothes, a distinct difference to the shades of blue, brown and khaki then worn by their parents and elders.
\nIt was a time when the nation was on the verge of dramatic changes. Emery's evocative imagery not only documents the vibrancy of Chinese street life, but also plays a crucial role in preserving memories of those days and Chinese culture for future generations.
\n"The pace of life in China's cities in 1980, as I observed it, was steady. There was a calmness that was foreign to me. The bicycles weaved along the streets, and the buses meandered slowly. There was no hustle and bustle or sense of rush hour," says the photographer.
\nDuring his trips to China, Emery observed and captured changes in the general appearance of society. He saw people start to become more individual, expressing themselves with new clothes and more adventurous hairstyles. Luxury goods, such as black-and-white TVs, started to appear in the shop windows in Shanghai, all signaling a complete change on the horizon.
\nIt was long after Emery's cruise trip days ended that he realized the significance of these old photos. There are very few photographs — especially in color — available from that period dedicated to people going about their daily lives. He hopes these photos can provide an insight into Chinese society in 1980 and by comparison, help people know how much it has changed since.
\nEmery came back to China in 2019. When he stepped off the plane and got to see the brand-new country, he could hardly believe his eyes. More incredibly, shortly after the publishing of his book, he even unexpectedly reconnected to two girls featured in his photos taken 45 years ago.
\nStill keeping over 300 photos of those trips in 1980, Emery says the people in the photos are the important ones who contributed to building China into what it is today. In a time when cameras or canvas were not common, such photos became the real records of their past and lives.
\n"I think it is important for people nowadays to see these photos and learn about the stories, as they bring back memories that are fading," he says.
\nWith photos as the bond, the Australian photographer also aims to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation between Australian and Chinese people and cultures.
\nShi Hantao, curator of the exhibition, says: "As a traveler, Emery had no obligations for news reporting or publishing, nor did he need to maintain objectivity. His camera served as a tool to greet and converse with the strangers he met in China. In other words, what he captured was more about the encounter itself than any specific object."
\nAfter Shanghai, the photo exhibition will travel to Suzhou in Jiangsu province and then continue to other cities.

Wei Jiexiong, Wei Wei's father, examines a photo in the studio's darkroom in 2023.
\nIn Agan town, 20 kilometers southeast of Lanzhou's Qilihe district in Northwest China's Gansu province, a flicker of magnesium light pierces through 50 years of dust, still glowing in the window of Agan Photo Studio.
\nThis beam illuminates more than just yellowing film negatives — it captures the collective memory of a community shaped by the country's industrial past and digital present.
\nInside the cramped studio, 44-year-old Wei Wei adjusts his father's relic: a wooden large-format Seagull camera older than he is.
\nAs tourists queue for portraits, the vintage device — once used to photograph coal miners' sweat-streaked grins, children's wide-eyed wonder, and labor models' proud gazes — now freezes moments for a new generation seeking nostalgia in the digital age.
\nThough analog photography — photography that uses a progressively changing recording medium that is either chemical-process based or electronic — took a backseat with the rise of digital photography, a renewed interest in the vintage process has since emerged at the photo studio.
\nFounded in 1972 as a state-owned enterprise, the studio became a visual chronicle of its milestones under Wei's father Wei Jiexiong, who joined in 1974. At that time, photographers from the studio were often invited to take photos during festivals or celebrations in town.
\nAt the busiest period, Wei Jiexiong would start at 7 in the morning and work until late at night.
\nWei Wei spent his childhood in the studio with his father.
\nThe young man at that time watched, then learned: mixing chemicals, loading plates, framing shots.
\nHe recalls: "My father would shoot and print more than 100 photos on a busy day.
\n"I'd assist him, then try myself. I wanted to preserve people's stories too, like what my father did," he says.
\nWhen his father passed away last year, Wei Wei inherited both the studio and its analog legacy.
\nFor Wei Wei, this is not only a family trade, but also about safeguarding authentic stories sealed in monochrome.
\nIn recent years, Agan Photo Studio gained popularity on social media, attracting numerous tourists who come to document their memories.
\nThe studio has not only preserved the fondest memories for the town's residents but also borne witness to social development and transformation.
\nAll this through an appreciation for the past.

\nThe new visa type was unveiled after Premier Li Qiang signed a State Council decree to promulgate a decision amending the country's regulations on the administration of foreigners' entries and exits.
\nThe decision came as China puts a greater emphasis on building a more proactive, open and effective talent policy.
\nThe K visa is a new addition to the ordinary visa categories and the new rules will take effect on Oct 1, according to the decision, which was drafted by the Ministry of Justice, along with the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Public Security and the National Immigration Administration.
\nApplicants for the K visa should be young international professionals in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics who have earned a bachelor's degree or higher from prestigious universities or research institutions.
\nIn addition, it will be available to individuals involved in educational or research activities at prestigious universities or research institutions, according to a joint statement released by the four departments on Thursday night.
\nK visa holders are permitted to engage in activities in fields such as education, science and technology, and cultural exchanges, according to the joint statement.
\nBefore this addition, there were 12 visa types classified based on the purposes of visiting China, including the L visa for sightseeing and tourism, the D visa for permanent residence and the G visa for transit through the country.
\nCompared with other visa types, the K visa will offer holders more convenience in terms of the number of entries, validity period and duration of stay. The eligibility criteria for the K visa are set based on applicants' age, educational background and work experience, without requiring them to have an employer or inviting organization within China, according to the statement.
\nThe application process for this visa is designed to be more convenient, streamlining the steps for eligible applicants, it added.
\nThe Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Public Security, along with embassies and consulates abroad, will step up collaboration in management of the issuance, extension, renewal and replacement of K visas, as well as the residence and stay of K visa holders. They will provide appropriate assistance to applicants and holders of K visas in accordance with the law, the statement said.

\nAs the doors swing open at Beijing's new robot-themed restaurant, diners are greeted by humanoid workers who nod and speak in lifelike gestures, while robotic servers glide between tables delivering dishes and a robot band plays drums and guitars, turning a dining experience into a futuristic spectacle.
\n"The restaurant gives me a fresh sense of technology. It's quite an amazing attempt," said Ding Wenjun, a tourist from Jiangxi province.
\nSun Ling, head of the Robot Restaurant, said, "It is not only an immersive dining place integrating cuisine, culture and technology, but also provides a scenario for robot application and data collection."
\nThe tech-savvy restaurant is participating in the E-Town Robot Consumption Festival, running from Aug 2 to Sunday. The event was organized by the administrative committee of the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, also known as Beijing E-Town.
\nMaking its debut at the festival is the Robot Mall, a 4,000-square-meter "robot 4S" store. It features more than 50 products across medical, industrial and companion robotics.
\nFor example, the Galbot G1, a wheeled-chassis humanoid robot, can retrieve medications from shelves and deliver them directly to patients.
\n"It can automatically dispense and distribute medications, alleviating the heavy workload of nurses and reducing the risk of human error," said Meng Yanpei, a manager at the mall. "In pharmacies, it serves emergency patients, especially at night, while also lowering operating costs by taking over repetitive tasks."
\nOver 10 pharmacies in Beijing are now operating 24 hours a day with the use of a Galbot G1. The robot is priced at 680,000 yuan ($94,800), a 50,000 yuan discount, at the 4S store during the festival.
\nAs of Tuesday, more than 19,000 robots and related products have been sold during the festival, generating total sales of over 200 million yuan. Meanwhile, the distribution of consumption vouchers has boosted sales by over 60 million yuan, according to the administrative committee of Beijing E-Town.
\nMeanwhile, shopping malls and e-commerce platform JD.com are hosting sales campaigns at the festival. Enterprises can enjoy subsidies of up to 250,000 yuan on robot purchases.
\nTargeting online consumers, JD.com has showcased over 680 robots and related products, including quadruped, biped, exoskeleton, and educational and companion robots, offering a maximum subsidy of 600 yuan for a single product.
\n"In the past, these robots were priced in the millions of yuan, but now they are becoming more affordable," said Xu Lei, head of the Intelligent Robot Business Department under the 3C Digital Business Group of JD.com. "We hope to leverage the advantages of online sales, brand support and supply chains to make robots accessible to more consumers."
\nZhang Hao, chief scientist of ALVA (Beijing) Technology Co, said that robots are still in their infancy and are often used mainly for display. "Even though they may stagger while walking, they captivate us because we can sense their intelligence gradually maturing."
\n"Only when robots help customers make money will they buy and keep buying such machines," said Zhang, adding that such machines must be practical, affordable, versatile and of effective use for consumers.
\nZhang's perspective echoes that of Massimiliano Zecca, a professor of healthcare technology at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom.
\n"Humanoid robots now require an engineering team to look after them," the professor said. "They need to bring real value to form a natural market."
\nDespite the limitations of the robots, Zecca was clearly impressed by a humanoid coffee barista crafting intricate latte art at the 2025 World Robot Conference, which concluded on Tuesday.
\n"I would pay for a cup of coffee with artistic flavor. The evolution of humanoid robots will surely provide more choices to meet personal preferences," Zecca said.

A technician (right) checks the growth of seedlings through a monitor in a greenhouse at the Zhixin Digital Seedling Breeding Industrial Park in Raoyang county, Hebei province.
\nIn Raoyang county, Hebei province, a high-tech approach is overturning long-held beliefs that North China's sweltering summers are ill-suited for seedling cultivation.
\nAt the Zhixin Digital Seedling Breeding Industrial Park in Raoyang in Hengshui city, algorithms now replace gut instinct.
\nThe cutting-edge solutions are transforming challenging conditions of high temperatures, heavy rain and intense sunlight into precisely controlled parameters, enabling consistent and high-quality seedling production in the hot season.
\n"In the past, we relied on experience. Now, we rely on algorithms," said Wei Fangcui, the park's director, while navigating the park's cloud-based management platform via a tablet.
\nThe system integrates over a dozen critical parameters, including micro-climate, soil conditions, and crop growth stages, using machines to autonomously optimize irrigation, nutrient delivery, light exposure and ventilation cycles.
\nStepping into the vast complex reveals a scene of quiet efficiency — automated rail-guided seedling beds glide smoothly, precision spray systems deliver moisture, and clusters of internet of things sensors display temperature and humidity data in real time.
\nThis highly integrated "breeding-cultivation-promotion" facility, a model of intelligent agriculture, now produces over 120 million robust seedlings annually, according to the park.
\n"Problems are spotted instantly and solved with a click," said technician Xie Keju, using a mobile app to track seedlings' "body temperature" and "nutritional intake". Sensors in eight vast glass greenhouses — each nearly 10,000 square meters and housing up to one million plants — feed real time data into the system, triggering automatic adjustments to ensure every seedling receives balanced nourishment.
\n"Crucially, the platform also provides early disease and pest warnings and tracks the growth history of individual plants," he said.
\nThe outcomes are compelling. According to Wei, the park achieves a five percent higher rate of strong, viable seedlings and reduces the overall cultivation cycle by five percent.
\n"These tech-based seedlings are the 'chips' of modern agriculture," she said.
\nTechnology is also reshaping productivity. An artificial intelligence-powered precision seeder allows one worker to sow 45 trays in three minutes, work that once took four people almost an hour. Xie now manages 300,000 seedlings singlehandedly, with his monthly income rising from 3,000 to 8,000 yuan ($417 to 1,112).
\nThis transformation stems from Raoyang county's "Science Commissioner plus Local Expert" training program, which has delivered over 100 specialized trainings on smart equipment and pest management, grooming over 10,000 skilled fruit and vegetable technicians, according to local authorities.
\n"Quality must be controlled from the very source," said Li Bingshun, deputy director of Raoyang county's agriculture and rural affairs bureau.
\nThis focus has attracted over 30 prominent breeding enterprises to establish operations in Raoyang. Together with 44 local seedling bases, they form an integrated breeding and promotion network, he said.
\nThe technological journey extends seamlessly from greenhouse to market. In the packaging facility, automated sorting lines place seedlings into custom boxes at a rate of three per second, each affixed with a QR code tracing its origin and journey.
\n"These 500,000 tomato seedlings head to Beijing tomorrow via refrigerated transport, reaching fields within 48 hours," Wei Fangcui said in an interview in July, pointing to live national demand data.
\nSince its February launch, the park has supplied over four million premium seedlings to multiple places, including the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, as well as provinces of Hebei and Henan, Wei said.
\nThe supplies cover over a dozen varieties of common and specialty fruit and vegetable seedlings, she added.
\n"The return on our technology investment is increasing rapidly," Wei said.
\nTheir seedlings, prized for superior genetics and consistent quality, have driven tangible benefits — farmers report average yield increases of 15 to 20 percent per hectare alongside significantly improved produce quality, achieving market satisfaction rates exceeding 90 percent, according to Wei.
\nThis revolution not only supplies premium seedlings nationally but also catalyzes local industry transformation.
\nRaoyang has established Hebei's first High-Quality Fruit and Vegetable Seed Industry Alliance, guiding breeding bases and planning 10,667-hectare demonstration zones. Additionally, it integrates data from the entire industry chain to create a regulatory platform.
\nCurrently, Raoyang has cultivated 28,667 hectares of fruits and vegetables, including 22,667 hectares of protected greenhouse crops, producing 2.4 million metric tons annually and supplying 2,000 tons daily to neighboring Beijing and Tianjin, according to local statistics.
\n"We will amplify our leading role, aiming to bring 40 more bases into the digital fold within two years, creating scale and synergy for shared resources and technology," Wei said.
\nShe added that continuous research& development investment will refine their algorithms and deepen IoT integration, embedding technology into every facet of seedling cultivation.

\nSarah Merrill, a spokesperson for the US Seventh Fleet, based in Yokosuka, Japan, to which the USS Higgins belongs, said the warship was conducting a "freedom of navigation operation "in accordance with international law.
\nBut that's not the case. The only reason the US dispatched the vessel to those waters was to show its support for Manila to continue the hazardous game it is playing. A Philippine Coast Guard ship made some dangerous provocative maneuvers on Monday that posed a risk to the Chinese law enforcement ships patrolling in the waters. But US ambassador to the Philippines, MaryKay Carlson, on Tuesday ridiculously pointed the finger of blame at China for "the latest reckless action".
\nThe claim of Merrill that the USS Higgins was upholding the US' right to fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows only exposes the hypocrisy of the US.

\nSince it assumed office over three years ago, the Ferdinand Marcos Jr government has been fully aware of the dangerous position it is putting the Philippines in by acting as a US pawn against China in the South China Sea. It has practiced a brinkmanship policy to try and maximize its gains in the US-orchestrated geopolitical game — reaching for a yard after taking an inch and hiding low to weather the self-created storms.
\nA review of what the Marcos government has done in playing its assigned role in the South China Sea clearly demonstrates that whenever it becomes hesitant and worried after playing with fire, the US will always show its support, usually by sending warships to the waters.
\nManila then has no choice but to continue playing its provocative game. Notably, its incursion into Chinese waters earlier this week came after Marcos' visit to the US late last month. Before that Marcos also made a series of irresponsible remarks on the Taiwan question and tried to drag India into the game it is playing with the US.
\nDuring his visit to the Pentagon, the Philippine president was reassured by his hosts, who reaffirmed the US' commitment to the two countries' mutual defense treaty, which states that an attack on either the Philippines or the US is deemed to be an attack on the other. The treaty is the major source of the Marcos government's confidence that the US will not abandon the Philippines in the case of an emergency. The US is actually taking advantage of that mentality to use the Philippines as a tool in its "Indo-Pacific" strategy, squeezing the space for its autonomy and alienating it from the other countries in the region.
\nBut the US knows it has not yet dispelled Manila's fear of either being discarded by the US or reaping what it has sowed in advancing the US' agenda at its own cost. So whenever Manila thinks it has gone too far, the US has to reassure it. Yet the US' exploitative approach to other hotspot issues incessantly reminds Manila that the US will take its pound of flesh.
\nHaving been pressed to be increasingly provocative, the Marcos government has finally realized that it is not a case of asking what the US can do for the Philippines, but rather what the Philippines can do for the US.
\nThe Philippines will succeed Malaysia as chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations next year, which offers the Marcos government a chance to prove it can contribute to regional peace and stability.

\nEditor's note: This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War. Japan should learn from its past and desist from rebuilding its military. In an interview with Li Huixian for Dialogues with Thinkers, China Daily's high-end interview program, Fang Ke, a Japanese affairs expert at the National Defense University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, said Japan should face up to its history, and stressed that Japanese right-wing forces should not distort history and mislead ordinary Japanese people, especially the younger generation. Excerpts follow:
\nQuestion: Aug 15 marks the 80th anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender in World War II. How should Japan behave now?
\nAnswer: Japanese invaders in China and other Asian countries killed and wounded millions of people, leaving a trail of destruction across much of East and Southeast Asia. For Japan, adopting a right view of history is imperative. Only by facing up to history can Japan truly atone for its atrocities before and during World War II. Facing up to history is a litmus test of its political sincerity.
\nAlso, Japan must adhere, both in letter and spirit, to the four political documents it has signed with China. It is equally crucial for Japan to enhance communication with China to build strategic mutual trust and better understand each other's legitimate concerns.
\nAmid growing economic turbulence fueled by the United States' tariff war, China and Japan, as the Asia-Pacific's leading economies, have every reason to deepen economic cooperation, because it would not only mitigate economic risks but also bolster regional stability. Effective crisis management is critical, too, for Japan to improve relations with China and other countries in the region. So it should respect Beijing's core interests. Rather than exacerbating tensions, it should adopt a constructive approach to fostering regional stability, particularly bilateral relations with China.
\nQ: To what extent will the far-right forces in Japan continue to influence the country's policies?
\nA: Ever since the Meiji Restoration, militarists and far-right forces have been influencing, to various degrees, Japan's policies, even dragging it into the abyss of war. After World War II, the international community's oversight and the US-engineered democratization reforms temporarily marginalized these elements, even stripped them of political power.
\nHowever, the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950 prompted a US policy reversal. By remolding Japan into an anti-communist linchpin in East Asia, the US helped rehabilitate convicted war criminals and dismissed wartime officials, some of whom became part of Japan's power structure.
\nConsequently, Japan has never truly atoned for its wartime crimes nor has it fully abandoned its militarist views. Although these elements' capacity to fundamentally alter Japan's domestic or foreign policy is constrained, they can still shape public views, especially influence young minds.
\nQ: What sort of impact did the Chinese people's humanitarian act of adopting Japanese war orphans after the end of World War II have on the development of Sino-Japanese relations?
\nA: The sort of treatment Japanese orphans got from kindhearted Chinese people has long been a testament to the friendship between China and Japan. After Japan's defeat in World War II, an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 war orphans were left behind in China. The older generation of Chinese leaders, including Chairman Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, treated them with kindness, as did ordinary Chinese people in Northeast China.
\nThis shows that China distinguishes between Japan's militarist clique and the Japanese people. By launching the war, the militarists not only dragged all the Japanese people into World War II but also made them victims of the war.
\nAfter returning to Japan, those orphans acted as a bridge between China and Japan. Many of them formed organizations, revisited their adoptive families in China, and fostered goodwill between the two countries. Their story shows that a genuine people-to-people bond rooted in compassion and mutual understanding is irreplaceable.
\nQ: Will Japan's labeling of China as the \"greatest strategic challenge\" in its recent defense white papers harm bilateral relations?
\nA: Postwar Japan has oscillated between pursuing strategic autonomy to enhance its defense capabilities and relying on the US for national security. Yet by calling China the "greatest strategic challenge", Japan is fabricating stories to justify its militarization and rally domestic public support for it. Japan plans to increase its defense spending beyond 2 percent of GDP by 2027.
\nThe Japanese government argues that its "low defense spending" is inadequate to sustain its status as a major power or counter what it calls "diversified threats", whether from China or other sources. To this end, it seeks to increase defense budgets, expand offensive weapons capabilities, and procure advanced military hardware — all of which require securing public support to ensure smooth approval in both houses of the Diet when these policies are formally proposed.
\nOn the other hand, with the US advancing its "Indo-Pacific" strategy, Japan is concerned about its diminishing role in the alliance due to the US' growing diversified partners. For decades, Tokyo has followed Washington's lead, but it has been working to exercise greater influence and autonomy within the alliance.
\nBy calling China as such a "threat", both countries gain justification to deepen alliance integration, enabling Tokyo to harness US strategic weight for expanded regional influence and leadership. Japan also believes this will make it an indispensable ally of the US in the Asia-Pacific. But Japan should realize that in today's world, national security cannot be safeguarded by hyping up nonexistent threats. And clinging to the beggar-thy-neighbor approach will not help Japan win the support of its neighbors or the wider international community either.
\nQ: Is Japan's strategy of boosting security and the economy sustainable?
\nA: At the end of 2024, Japan was China's fifth-largest trading partner, third largest among individual countries, while China was Japan's largest trading partner and primary source of imports. Sino-Japanese trade has been mutually beneficial for decades. It is the US that has been trying to destabilize the global economic order by launching the tariff war.
\nIt is essential for China, Japan and the Republic of Korea, as major economies in the Asia-Pacific, to deepen cooperation, especially in fields such as cutting-edge technologies and infrastructure development, to ensure the region's continued development.
\nJapan's approach to China is inherently contradictory. Despite continuing to align with the US in matters of security and defense, Japan has been enjoying the economic gains from Sino-Japanese trade.
\nQ: How should we respond to certain US and Japanese politicians' frequent hyping of the Taiwan question?
\nA: This is a matter of serious concern. We should continue to make efforts to achieve the reunification of Taiwan with the motherland, and avoid making the mistake of "strategic overreach".
\nIneffective crisis management could turn a friction into conflict, potentially dragging other countries into it. To prevent this, China and Japan have established effective multi-tier, multi-channel crisis management mechanisms, including hotlines at the defense minister level.
\nIn recent years, through a series of military exercises and demonstrations of advanced weapons systems, China has showcased the modernization of its defense forces, as well as its resolve to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and achieve national reunification.
\nIt will again do so at an opportune moment and location to demonstrate its military capabilities to deter hostile forces, and prevent them from exploiting sensitive issues.
\nThe views don't necessarily represent those of China Daily.

An employee handles semiconductor materials at a factory in Bang Pa-In, Ayutthaya Province, Thailand, on Wednesday. The United States has declared plans for a 100 percent tariff on semiconductor imports.
\nThai experts have called for a long-term strategy to offset the negative effects of US tariffs, saying Thailand should strengthen its competitiveness by investing more in innovation and technology while expanding its trade partners, including focusing more on China.
\nThe United States recently announced a new "reciprocal" tariff rate for Thailand at 19 percent, which is significantly lower than the previously proposed 36 percent. The new rate is almost on par with those on several other members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, but lower than the levy on Vietnam.
\n"The reduced tariff attributed to the government's negotiation efforts is not over yet," said Wichai Kinchong Choi, a business development expert at Kasikorn Bank in Bangkok. "What's more important is to strengthen the country's own risk resistance capacity amid the future global challenges through building a robust economy."
\nA cautiously optimistic attitude should be held as the US has not yet revealed its additional conditions, Wichai said. According to the agreement, for example, Thailand must fully open its domestic agricultural product market and exempt agricultural products imported from the US from tariffs.
\n"The move will pose risks to Thailand's domestic fruit market," he said.
\nIn the long term, he said, Thailand should further expand into new markets to diversify risk and enhance its production processes to reduce costs while further strengthening its partnership with ASEAN countries and major trade partners such as China.
\n"As the global trade will deepen, Thailand should urge its major sectors to accelerate reform by leveraging innovation and technology," Wichai said. "We need to adapt and enhance our own competition by investing more in industries such as clean energy, artificial intelligence and electric vehicles that contribute to the kingdom's industrial upgrading and sustainable development."
\nAfter the announcement of the reduced tariff rate, Kasikorn Research Center in Bangkok released a report estimating that the Thai economy is expected to grow by 1.5 percent this year, an improvement from the prior projection of 1.4 percent.
\nPornchai Thiraveja, director-general of the Fiscal Policy Office at the Thai Finance Ministry, said in a recent interview with the Bangkok Post that the ministry plans to implement stimulus measures to spur domestic spending and investment to support the economy.
\nStimulus measures
\nMeasures may include accelerating the disbursement of public investment budgets for infrastructure projects, introducing tax policies to encourage consumption, and supporting the tourism and service sectors.
\nIn addition, the government has established a Competitiveness Enhancement Fund with a budget of 10 billion baht ($308 million), targeting vulnerable industries or those requiring urgent adaptation, which can also aid local businesses in adapting to changing trade conditions.
\nApart from solving the internal problems, experts said Thailand should join hands with Southeast Asian countries to open up further and improve market facilitation, as well as improve trade rules and regulations for deepening cooperation with more partners, including China.
\nPiti Srisangnam, executive director of the ASEAN Foundation, said Thailand has so far joined several regional agreements, such as the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement, which are crucial for it to strengthen cooperation with more partners.
\nHe urged the Thai government to upgrade regulations and agreements with other trade partners and enlarge existing cooperation frameworks, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.
\n"Apart from that, we also need to access the larger market, such as BRICS Plus, which will provide Thailand with access to a larger market, facilitating trade and investment opportunities," Piti said. "Being part of BRICS can elevate Thailand's political status on the global stage, providing it with a platform to voice its interests and contribute to global economic and political discussions."
\nThe tariff policy initiated by the US can be a good chance for Thailand to reshape its industry and economy, said Suthiphand Chirathivat, a professor emeritus of economics and former director of the ASEAN Studies Center at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.
\n"Moreover, the trade war will very likely bring ASEAN and China even closer," Suthiphand said.

"What's more important is to strengthen the country's own risk resistance capacity amid the future global challenges through building a robust economy."
\nA cautiously optimistic attitude should be held as the US has not yet revealed its additional conditions, Wichai said. According to the agreement, for example, Thailand must fully open its domestic agricultural product market and exempt agricultural products imported from the US from tariffs.
\n"The move will pose risks to Thailand's domestic fruit market," he said.
\nIn the long term, he said, Thailand should further expand into new markets to diversify risk and enhance its production processes to reduce costs while further strengthening its partnership with ASEAN countries and major trade partners such as China.
\n"As the global trade will deepen, Thailand should urge its major sectors to accelerate reform by leveraging innovation and technology," Wichai said. "We need to adapt and enhance our own competition by investing more in industries such as clean energy, artificial intelligence and electric vehicles that contribute to the kingdom's industrial upgrading and sustainable development."
\nAfter the announcement of the reduced tariff rate, Kasikorn Research Center in Bangkok released a report estimating that the Thai economy is expected to grow by 1.5 percent this year, an improvement from the prior projection of 1.4 percent.
\nPornchai Thiraveja, director-general of the Fiscal Policy Office at the Thai Finance Ministry, said in a recent interview with the Bangkok Post that the ministry plans to implement stimulus measures to spur domestic spending and investment to support the economy.
\nStimulus measures
\nMeasures may include accelerating the disbursement of public investment budgets for infrastructure projects, introducing tax policies to encourage consumption, and supporting the tourism and service sectors.
\nIn addition, the government has established a Competitiveness Enhancement Fund with a budget of 10 billion baht ($308 million), targeting vulnerable industries or those requiring urgent adaptation, which can also aid local businesses in adapting to changing trade conditions.
\nApart from solving the internal problems, experts said Thailand should join hands with Southeast Asian countries to open up further and improve market facilitation, as well as improve trade rules and regulations for deepening cooperation with more partners, including China.
\nPiti Srisangnam, executive director of the ASEAN Foundation, said Thailand has so far joined several regional agreements, such as the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement, which are crucial for it to strengthen cooperation with more partners.
\nHe urged the Thai government to upgrade regulations and agreements with other trade partners and enlarge existing cooperation frameworks, such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.
\n"Apart from that, we also need to access the larger market, such as BRICS Plus, which will provide Thailand with access to a larger market, facilitating trade and investment opportunities," Piti said. "Being part of BRICS can elevate Thailand's political status on the global stage, providing it with a platform to voice its interests and contribute to global economic and political discussions."
\nThe tariff policy initiated by the US can be a good chance for Thailand to reshape its industry and economy, said Suthiphand Chirathivat, a professor emeritus of economics and former director of the ASEAN Studies Center at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.
\n"Moreover, the trade war will very likely bring ASEAN and China even closer," Suthiphand said.

Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (second from right) and other government officials pose for a group photo during a signing ceremony to enact the Sovereign Brazil Plan, an aid program to support companies affected by the US tariffs, at the Planalto presidential palace in Brasilia, Brazil, on Wednesday.
\nBRASILIA — Brazil's government unveiled on Wednesday a long-awaited aid package for companies hurt by steep US tariffs, centered on credit lines for exporters and government purchases of products that face greater hurdles in finding alternative markets.
\nUS President Donald Trump hiked duties on several goods from Brazil to 50 percent from 10 percent earlier this month. Although some sectors were exempted from the steeper levies, the move is still set to hurt industries such as coffee, beef, seafood, textiles, footwear and fruit.
\nBrazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva had already signaled his administration would not immediately retaliate against the tariff hike, instead prioritizing support for the most affected sectors.
\n"We will insist on negotiating …but our sovereignty is untouchable," Lula told an event in Brasilia, saying he was open to talks on topics such as ethanol trade.
\n"We are not announcing reciprocity measures. We don't want, at first, to do anything that could justify worsening our relations," the leader added.
\nThe centerpiece of the aid plan is a 30 billion-real ($5.55 billion) credit line via the existing Export Guarantee Fund, which is managed by state development bank BNDES, according to a statement.
\nThe government will also make additional contributions totaling 4.5 billion reais to strengthen some funds supporting aid for smaller companies, it added.
\nThe measures are part of an executive order signed by Lula, which takes effect immediately but must be approved by Congress within four months to remain in force.
\n'Palliative but necessary'
\nRicardo Alban, the chairman of the Brazilian industry confederation, said he hopes "this plan is behind us as quickly as possible".He described it as "palliative, but necessary".
\n"Nothing justifies us being on the lowest of tariffs to going to the highest of tariffs," Alban said.
\nBrazil was among the nations hardest hit by Trump's tariffs.
\nWashington exempted key goods such as aircraft, orange juice, oil and pulp from the higher rate, but products like coffee and beef, of which Brazil is a major US supplier, are now subject to the full rate, which took effect last week.
\nTrump imposed the levies on US imports from Brazil largely in response to a Brazilian legal case he has accused of being a "witch hunt "against former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial for allegedly plotting to overturn the 2022 election after his supporters overran government buildings.
\nSupreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who is overseeing the case, said that he would continue to do his job and that Brazil's top court would not submit itself to foreign coercion and that it would guard the country's constitution.
\nBrazil's new aid program also eases the tax burden on exporters to help them remain competitive in the US, a measure in place through the end of next year that the government estimated would cost 5 billion reais in foregone revenue.
\nThe plan extends the timeframe for using tax credits under the "drawback" regime, which reimburses import taxes on inputs used in the production of exported goods.

Visitors interact with an intelligent robot imitating Confucius at the 2025 World Robot Conference in Beijing on Aug 8.
\nSince robots are a crucial driving force in developing new quality productive forces and shaping an intelligent lifestyle, Beijing has been leveraging its technological and talent strengths to accelerate the development of common technologies, expand application scenarios, build industry exchange platforms, and continuously enhance the supply of essential resources in this field.
\nAs a result, the city's robotics industry ranks among the top in China, Beijing Mayor Yin Yong said at the opening ceremony of the 2025 World Robot Conference.
\nThe event, held from Aug 8 to 12, was jointly hosted by the Chinese Institute of Electronics and the World Robot Cooperation Organization in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, also known as Beijing E-Town.
\nIt featured an exhibition area of approximately 50,000 square meters, comprising three main halls focused on innovation, application, and technology.
\nOver 200 domestic and international robotics companies showcased more than 1,500 exhibits, with over 100 new products making their debut. Among the participants were 50 humanoid robot companies, the highest number among similar exhibitions worldwide.
\nIn the exhibition area of the Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics, different models of heterogeneous robots carried out cross-scenario collaborative operations through the coordination of Huisi Kaiwu, the world's first general embodied intelligence platform.
\nExperts noted that this breaks the traditional barrier of "one machine for one post", marking an evolution from individual intelligence to group intelligence.
\nJeff Burnstein, president of the Association for Advancing Automation in the United States, witnessed remarkable changes at this year's conference, one of the most noticeable being the significant increase in international participants. He added that since its inception, the conference has now grown into a truly global event.
\nToday, the robotics industry is on the verge of large-scale industrialization. The guiding opinions on the innovative development of humanoid robots, released by China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, state that by 2027, the humanoid robot industry is expected to achieve larger-scale growth, with related products deeply integrated into the real economy and becoming an important engine for economic growth.
\nIn response, Beijing aims to build an internationally influential hub for robotics innovation. It will collaborate with Tianjin and Hebei to strategically position key components, promoting the gradual development of high-level, large-scale production capabilities for humanoid robots.
\nIt also plans to establish the first national-level testing and verification platform for humanoid robots, continuously enhance the brand influence of major events such as the World Robot Conference and the World Humanoid Robot Games, and take the lead in setting up specialized robot service institutions to become a global benchmark city for human-robot collaboration.
\nAs for the World Humanoid Robot Games, Beijing is hosting the event at the National Speed Skating Oval, known as the "Ice Ribbon". A total of 280 teams from 16 countries, featuring over 500 humanoid robots, will compete in 487 events, including running, basketball, dance, martial arts, and industrial material handling.
\nThe "Panda Eye" training base — the world's first professional venue for humanoid robot football — was recently officially unveiled. Guo Yonghao, executive deputy director of the Games' organizing committee, said its semi-transparent design allows precise control of temperature, humidity, and cleanliness.
\nThe base can create a laboratory-level stable competitive environment for robots while allowing natural sunlight, moonlight, and starlight to shine through, he added.
\nLocated on the southwestern side of the "Ice Ribbon", the ROBOLAND camp is expected to become a future hub for the humanoid robot industry. It is designed to promote domestic and international industrial cooperation and exchange, supporting the sustainable development of the robotics sector.
