"description": "<div></div><img src=\"https://mobile.chinadaily.com.cn/cn/resfile/2025-08-23/002/20250823_002_05_39.png\" /><p>An aerial drone photo taken on Friday shows the site of a bridge construction accident on the Qinghai section of the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway in Qinghai province.</p>\n<p> Twelve people have been confirmed dead and four remain missing as of 6 pm Friday due to a steel cable failure at a bridge construction site in Northwest China&#39;s Qinghai province earlier in the day.</p>\n<p> The accident occurred around 3 am at the under-construction bridge on the Qinghai section of the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway, where 16 workers were on site at the time, according to Xinhua News Agency. The failure caused a 108-meter steel girder arch rib to collapse.</p>\n<p> The Ministry of Emergency Management has promptly dispatched a team to the site to oversee rescue operations and coordinate rescue efforts, focusing on searching for people who fell into the water.</p>\n<p> The ministry confirmed that it would determine the cause of the accident as soon as possible, and undertake decisive measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.</p>\n<p> China Central Television reported more than 806 rescuers have joined search and rescue efforts since the accident happened, with 91 vehicles, 27 boats, one helicopter and five robots deployed. Additionally, six hospitals have opened quick channels to provide medical aid for victims.</p>\n<p> As of press time, coordinated rescue operations, as well as efforts to comfort affected families, were ongoing.</p>\n<p> The bridge &mdash; located at the border between Jainca county in the Huangnan Tibetan autonomous prefecture and Hualong Hui autonomous county in Haidong &mdash; is the first steel truss arch railway bridge in China to cross the Yellow River, according to People&#39;s Daily.</p>\n<p> Qinghai Daily previously reported that two cable towers on either side of the bridge were completed on June 14, with its main bridge originally expected to be joined by the end of this month. The maximum cable force on the side spans of the bridge reaches 1,161 metric tons, equivalent to the weight of 750 small cars, and each tower weighs 1,800 tons, with the largest segment weighing 45 tons. The installation precision of the towers is directly related to the safety and success of the subsequent steel support beam, it said.</p>\n<p> Public information shows that the bridge, one of the key projects of its type on the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway, has a length of over 1,596 meters, with the arch&#39;s apex standing 130 meters above the water&#39;s surface, equivalent to the height of more than 40 stories. Its deck is 55 meters above the Yellow River&#39;s surface.</p>\n<p> <span>caoyin@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

"title": "005BUSINESS - Robot chefs cut costs, boost efficiency",
"description": "<div></div><img src=\"https://mobile.chinadaily.com.cn/cn/resfile/2025-08-23/005/20250823_005_03_11.png\" /><p>Visitors to Robot Mall, a store showcasing embodied intelligent humanoid robots in Beijing&#39;s E-Town &mdash; the city&#39;s leading hub of innovation &mdash; watch the demonstration of a robot chef on Aug 8.</p>\n<p> Robot chefs are gaining in popularity, on the back of significant cost-effectiveness and excellent quality control.</p>\n<p> Robot chefs are not a new concept. For example, the Changsha-based restaurant franchise Bawan uses such robots in its outlets. So far, Bawan has opened over 500 outlets, which have all deployed self-developed robots to cook food. According to its official website, these have now been updated to the third generation.</p>\n<p> Xiaocaiyuan, a Hong Kong-listed restaurant specializing in Anhui cuisine, deployed robotic cooks in some of its outlets as early as 2023.</p>\n<p> According to the prospectus released by Xiaocaiyuan before its listing, a portion of the funds raised from the public flotation will be used to purchase 3,000 such robots, with a unit price of 50,000 yuan ($6,972) per robot and an estimated total cost of 150 million yuan.</p>\n<p> The purchase quantity of 3,000 robot chefs, based on the current number of its over 600 stores, means that on average, each Xiaocaiyuan outlet will deploy about five of these robots.</p>\n<p> Several franchise restaurants are also deploying robot chefs, including Nonggengji Hunan Native Cuisine, Jin Ding Xuan, Beijing Micun Technology Co, CSC Group, and Nanchengxiang. They are able to cook highly standardized dishes such as Yuxiang shredded pork, fried eggs with tomato, and Kung Pao Chicken.</p>\n<p> Do these cooks really save money? Take Xunxiangdidai, a restaurant that serves Anhui cuisine, as an example. According to the Hongcan Industry Research Institute, by using intelligent devices and traditional stoves, robot chefs shoulder half of the stir-frying jobs, saving up to 60 percent in salaries. Normally, a kitchen needs two human chefs, and their salaries add up to around 18,000 yuan. Robot chefs can, however, operate five to six stoves at a time, greatly cutting down on salaries.</p>\n<p> Wang Peng, an associate research fellow at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said: &quot;The labor cost of the catering industry continues to rise, and stir-frying robots can significantly reduce salaries and social security expenses of chefs. Long-term operation can significantly reduce overall costs. At the same time, its efficient operation can improve meal delivery speed, increase the number of customers served per unit time, and thereby increase restaurant revenue.&quot;</p>\n<p> In addition, robot chefs are able to accurately execute preset programs for cooking, strictly control the heat, seasoning dosage, and meal preparation time, ensuring stable and consistent taste and quality of dishes, which is conducive to shaping a unified brand image for chain catering, and enhancing consumer trust and recognition of the brand, he said.</p>\n<p> The current fast-paced lifestyle of consumers requires high efficiency in serving meals. The fast-serving feature of stir-frying robots can meet the demand for instant dining, and has great potential in the fast food and takeaway fields.</p>\n<p> Moreover, it conforms to the trend of digital and intelligent transformation of the catering industry, and can deeply integrate with restaurant management systems to optimize operational processes, he added.</p>\n<p> Guo Tao, individual angel investor and an expert in the artificial intelligence sector, said: &quot;Although the prospects of robotic cooks are bright, the road ahead is full of challenges. At present, it is difficult to accurately replicate the unique taste and personalized flavor of Chinese cooking at the technical level, and significant breakthroughs are needed in the research and development of complex dishes. In terms of economic costs, high equipment purchase and maintenance costs have deterred many small and medium-sized catering businesses. In the field of health and safety, improper cleaning and disinfection of equipment can easily lead to health hazards.&quot;</p>\n<p> In addition, the operational programming of the robot chefs requires high digital skills from employees, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty and cost of employee training. How to improve cooking efficiency while also optimizing the taste experience has become the key to whether it can fully replace manual labor, he said.</p>\n<p> <span>zhengyiran@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

"description": "<div></div><p> Eighty years after China and the United States fought side by side in World War II, Beijing&#39;s top envoy in Washington said that the two countries must draw on their shared wartime history and recommit to peaceful coexistence and practical cooperation.</p>\n<p> Ambassador Xie Feng delivered the message on Wednesday at an art exhibition at the Chinese embassy marking the 80th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People&#39;s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War.</p>\n<p> Xie hailed the &quot;heroes&quot; who resisted fascism, from Chinese civilians to foreign volunteers, and recalled how, during what he described as a &quot;decisive war between justice and evil&quot;, China and more than 50 nations formed an international anti-fascist front.</p>\n<p> &quot;The Flying Tigers soared across the sky to intercept Japanese aggressors, and opened up the treacherous &#39;Hump Route&#39; over the Roof of the World, writing an epic story in pursuit of peace with their lives,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> In 1941, volunteer US pilots, known as the Flying Tigers, fought alongside the Chinese against the Japanese in China.</p>\n<p> The ambassador praised foreign artists and journalists, including US illustrator Martha Sawyers and photographer Robert Capa, for rallying support for China during the war.</p>\n<p> &quot;Today, to safeguard the post-war international order and protect the Earth, our only home, we still need such heroes, and should act together for peace and for the future,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> Xie also pointed to the Doolittle Raid of 1942, when US pilots, running low on fuel after completing their attack on Japan, crash-landed in China.</p>\n<p> &quot;Chinese soldiers and civilians spared no effort to rescue the pilots they had never met before,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> That wartime experience left a lasting imprint on bilateral ties.</p>\n<p> &quot;The friendship between the Chinese and American people was forged amid the trials of blood and fire,&quot; Xie said, &quot;and has gained new life and injected fresh impetus into bilateral relations over the years&quot;.</p>\n<p> &quot;It is a constant reminder that China and the US should see each other as a partner and friend, contribute to one another&#39;s success and benefit the whole world; that we should never forget what our two people went through together in the era of war, and should never waver in our commitment to peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation,&quot; he added.</p>\n<p> The envoy&#39;s message was as much about today as yesterday. The lesson of history, he noted, is that &quot;prejudice, hatred and war will bring nothing but disaster and pain&quot;, while cooperation offers the only path forward.</p>\n<p> <b>Common interests</b></p>\n<p> &quot;Eight decades ago, our two countries fought against fascism side by side and jointly defended peace and justice. Eight decades later, we have more extensive common interests, broader space for cooperation, and more important international obligations,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> As the world&#39;s two largest economies and as permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, China and the US share a special and significant responsibility for upholding world peace and stability, and promoting global development and prosperity, Xie said.</p>\n<p> Jeffrey Greene, chairman of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation, also emphasized the importance of remembering the wartime bond.</p>\n<p> Echoing Xie, Greene described the sacrifices made by ordinary Chinese in aiding downed US pilots.</p>\n<p> &quot;Families risked their lives to hide airmen, dress their wounds and guide them to safety,&quot; he said. &quot;Never has one nation&#39;s people so consistently risked so much for those of another. This was not merely an alliance. It was humanity at its purest form.&quot;</p>\n<p> David Frazer, a professor at the Rhode Island School of Design, stressed the role of culture in bridging divides today.</p>\n<p> &quot;Despite the political differences that exist today between our great countries, global appreciation for the arts transcends these differences,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> More than 200 guests, including US dignitaries, attended the commemorative exhibition, jointly organized with state broadcaster China Central Television.</p>\n<p> <span>huanxinzhao@chinadailyusa.com</span></p>\n<p></p>",

Eight decades later, we have more extensive common interests, broader space for cooperation, and more important international obligations,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> As the world&#39;s two largest economies and as permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, China and the US share a special and significant responsibility for upholding world peace and stability, and promoting global development and prosperity, Xie said.</p>\n<p> Jeffrey Greene, chairman of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation, also emphasized the importance of remembering the wartime bond.</p>\n<p> Echoing Xie, Greene described the sacrifices made by ordinary Chinese in aiding downed US pilots.</p>\n<p> &quot;Families risked their lives to hide airmen, dress their wounds and guide them to safety,&quot; he said. &quot;Never has one nation&#39;s people so consistently risked so much for those of another. This was not merely an alliance. It was humanity at its purest form.&quot;</p>\n<p> David Frazer, a professor at the Rhode Island School of Design, stressed the role of culture in bridging divides today.</p>\n<p> &quot;Despite the political differences that exist today between our great countries, global appreciation for the arts transcends these differences,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> More than 200 guests, including US dignitaries, attended the commemorative exhibition, jointly organized with state broadcaster China Central Television.</p>\n<p> <span>huanxinzhao@chinadailyusa.com</span></p>\n<p></p>",

I had scored a nine in my GCSE Mandarin exam, so it was incredibly frustrating, at times even disheartening,&quot; she said.</p>\n<p> &quot;But as time went on, armed with the courage to make mistakes, a determination to improve, hours of practice, and plenty of help from my Chinese teacher, my Mandarin eventually reached the point where I could &hellip; guide my family around in China, chat with taxi drivers, haggle over prices, and sort out problems that came up.&quot;</p>\n<p> Ajibola returned with a mature command of the language, a clearer vision for the future, many genuine friends, countless memories, as well as 30 packs of Chinese-branded instant noodles, and a pile of refrigerator magnets.</p>\n<p> &quot;The scholarship program is probably one of the best things that has ever happened to me,&quot; she added.</p>\n<p> Launched in 2023 by the UK charity Engage with China, in partnership with international schools in China, the scholarship program has enabled 34 British pupils to embark on a two-year journey to study A-levels in China.</p>\n<p> H-J Colston-Inge, director of Engage with China, said the aim of the program is to foster &quot;China literacy&quot; among British youths.</p>\n<p> It was in 2018 that she realized there was a major educational gap in UK schools, as knowledge of China was almost entirely absent from the classroom. &quot;The UK curriculum contains virtually no content on China, despite its global importance,&quot; she said.</p>\n<p> Compared to short-term study programs, she said, the project aims to offer a fully immersive journey, one that allows pupils to truly experience, with their own eyes a country on the other side of the world that is culturally and socioeconomically, very different from what they are used to.</p>\n<p> Culture shocks can be striking. For Ajibola, the endless high-rise apartments instead of low houses, the &quot;motorcycle army&quot; dominating the roads, and the mosquito bites in the sweltering summer were all unusual for a British pupil. But as she put it: &quot;If I had the chance to live it all again, I wouldn&#39;t change a thing.&quot;</p>\n<p> Zoe Capps, who has just completed her first-year scholarship in Hangzhou, the capital city of East China&#39;s Zhejiang province, said life in China, a place where &quot;everything felt unfamiliar&quot; at first but which has now become a &quot;second home&quot;, has made her much more &quot;mature&quot;.</p>\n<p> &quot;I always used to say I&#39;m very mature for my age, but I really wasn&#39;t,&quot; she said. &quot;But now, I have a clear idea of what I want to do in the future. I know where I want to go, and I know what I need to do.&quot;</p>\n<p> <b>Gaining global mindset</b></p>\n<p> The students have not only developed strong language skills that will give them greater competitiveness in future education and career paths, Colston-Inge said, but have also gained a global mindset and a sense of empathy, an understanding that the world can be vastly diverse.</p>\n<p> &quot;No one typically sends their 16-year-old to study in China, so these students are bold, curious and globally-minded,&quot; she added. &quot;In an era of geopolitical tension, initiatives like this can help shift perspectives and build better international relationships.&quot;</p>\n<p> &quot;Life-changing&quot; is how Colston-Inge often described the many refreshing China stories she has heard from the pupils, especially since many oLine truncated

He highlighted its role in advancing cultural heritage conservation through innovative strategies and international collaboration.</p>\n<p> Bringing fresh perspectives, the students shared ideas on digital storytelling, visitor engagement and cultural branding, drawing on their learning journey and internship experiences under the program in Hong Kong and Beijing.</p>\n<p> They stressed the importance of providing platforms to young local artists, integrating audience traffic across different venues within a cultural district, and creating inviting spaces that encourage longer visits. Their insights also included the need to bridge the gap between the districts and local grassroots communities, enhancing cultural exchange and community involvement.</p>\n<p> The students also visited the Sensory Experience Gallery of the Palace Museum, which they said deepened their understanding of cultural intellectual property, brand operations, and the development of cultural and creative products.</p>\n<p> &quot;We are pleased to welcome students from the Bi-city Youth Cultural Leadership Program to the Palace Museum,&quot; Wang says.</p>\n<p> &quot;This meaningful initiative offers young people a platform to explore the changing landscape of cultural institutions and apply their creativity to real-world challenges. Their participation brings fresh perspectives and energy into the future of cultural districts. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with the Hong Kong Palace Museum to jointly nurture cultural talents and advance our shared mission of Chinese culture,&quot; he adds.</p>\n<p> Louis Ng, director of the Hong Kong Palace Museum, says the program encourages students to envision the future of cultural districts through creativity, community, and innovation.</p>\n<p> &quot;The program underscores our mission to nurture cultural leadership through cross-boundary collaboration and contribute to sustainable urban development. We are proud to see students exploring complex cultural questions and proposing thoughtful ideas that reflect both ambition and a grounded understanding of the opportunities and challenges shaping the cultural landscape across different cities,&quot; Ng says.</p>\n<p> Besides the Palace Museum visit, the Beijing stage of the program will enable students to participate in inspiring dialogues with industry experts, and a curated district city walk in Beijing.</p>\n<p> After Beijing, the students will conclude their cultural journey in Shanghai, where they will visit landmark developments and urban cultural hubs.</p>\n<p> Since its launch in 2022, the program has engaged nearly 150 students from Beijing and Hong Kong, aiming to inspire and nurture the next generation of cultural talent from Hong Kong and Beijing.</p>\n<p> <span>yangfeiyue@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

I will never forget that trip.&quot;</p>\n<p> With an unstable electricity supply from a small hydropower station, even watching TV was a luxury back then. In Yulmed, located in the remote area near the China-India border, communication with the outside world was often cut off, he added.</p>\n<p> But things are completely different today. A three-person township decades ago, it is now home to over 200 people and oversees two villages. Pasang Tsering has become the Party chief of one village, also called Yulmed.</p>\n<p> With improved infrastructure, such as roads and telecommunications, the locals can access the latest information via social media and have online orders delivered to their doorstep, just like people in Beijing, Pasang Tsering said proudly.</p>\n<p> &quot;If a place like Yulmed can thrive so much in less than two decades, the development of Xizang as a whole is even more extraordinary,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> People have to get through two mountain passes at an altitude above 5,000 meters to get to Yulmed from Lhunze, Shannan city. Besides the stunning view of the snow-capped mountains and grand valleys, the 10-kilovolt power transmission line extended by the State Grid to Yulmed in 2019 along the well-paved road is also hard to miss.</p>\n<p> The reconstruction of a 50-kilometer paved road connecting Yulmed to a neighboring township was completed in the same year with investment of over 500 million yuan ($69.67 million) by the state, which stopped it being snowbound every year.</p>\n<p> &quot;Before the reconstruction of the road, Yulmed would become inaccessible to vehicles when it started to snow in October, until at least the following June.

I will never forget that trip.&quot;</p>\n<p> With an unstable electricity supply from a small hydropower station, even watching TV was a luxury back then. In Yulmed, located in the remote area near the China-India border, communication with the outside world was often cut off, he added.</p>\n<p> But things are completely different today. A three-person township decades ago, it is now home to over 200 people and oversees two villages. Pasang Tsering has become the Party chief of one village, also called Yulmed.</p>\n<p> With improved infrastructure, such as roads and telecommunications, the locals can access the latest information via social media and have online orders delivered to their doorstep, just like people in Beijing, Pasang Tsering said proudly.</p>\n<p> &quot;If a place like Yulmed can thrive so much in less than two decades, the development of Xizang as a whole is even more extraordinary,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> People have to get through two mountain passes at an altitude above 5,000 meters to get to Yulmed from Lhunze, Shannan city. Besides the stunning view of the snow-capped mountains and grand valleys, the 10-kilovolt power transmission line extended by the State Grid to Yulmed in 2019 along the well-paved road is also hard to miss.</p>\n<p> The reconstruction of a 50-kilometer paved road connecting Yulmed to a neighboring township was completed in the same year with investment of over 500 million yuan ($69.67 million) by the state, which stopped it being snowbound every year.</p>\n<p> &quot;Before the reconstruction of the road, Yulmed would become inaccessible to vehicles when it started to snow in October, until at least the following June. The widened and hardened road has fundamentally changed people&#39;s life,&quot; Pasang Tsering said.</p>\n<p> Since 2018, Yulmed has built itself into a prosperous border township with steel-framed houses, an electricity grid, roads, a 5G network, medical care and financial services facilities.</p>\n<p> &quot;As life in Yulmed has become more convenient than ever, more young people are willing to come and run businesses including shops, restaurants, family inns and teahouses,&quot; he said. &quot;The children can also receive good education via online courses, which is something I wouldn&#39;t even dare to dream about when I was a teacher.&quot;</p>\n<p> <b>Family patrols</b></p>\n<p> Tenzin Samdrup came to Yulmed about 10 years ago, married and had children.

"title": "004CHINA - Complex surgery saves man with rare injury",
"description": "<div></div><p> Doctors in Shanghai have successfully performed an ultra-complex surgery on a man with a severe neck injury akin to an &quot;internal decapitation&quot; after he was struck by a mechanical arm, saving his life.</p>\n<p> The 55-year-old patient, surnamed Li, suffered a rare and severe cervical vertebra fracture and dislocation. He underwent reduction and fixation surgery at Shanghai Changzheng Hospital and was discharged in July. Upon release, he was able to move his shoulders and lift his wrists, doctors said.</p>\n<p> The accident occurred on May 31 in Changshu, a city in neighboring Jiangsu province, when Li was hit from above by a mechanical arm. The blow caused catastrophic damage to his cervical spine. He immediately suffered high-level paralysis and cardiac arrest at the scene. His weak vital signs were restored only after receiving CPR.</p>\n<p> On June 3, Li was transferred to Shanghai Changzheng Hospital. Imaging showed an extremely rare and extensive cervical dislocation, with a severe spinal cord contusion and tearing of critical nerve and vascular structures.</p>\n<p> The patient was at a high risk of severe bleeding and vertebral artery injury, potentially causing shock or a fatal stroke. A massive hematoma had formed at the site, causing dangerous drops in blood pressure. He relied on high doses of vasoactive drugs to maintain circulation.</p>\n<p> Doctors said any attempt at surgery carried enormous risks, including uncontrollable bleeding, vertebral artery damage and severe cerebrospinal fluid leaks. Many of the challenges had no precedent in medical literature.</p>\n<p> Chen Huajiang, deputy director of orthopedics at the hospital, described the case as the most dangerous of his decades-long career.</p>\n<p> &quot;My colleagues and I reviewed extensive medical literature, but found no precedent for such a severe cervical separation case, let alone a successful treatment that allowed the sufferer to survive,&quot; said Chen, who also heads the hospital&#39;s cervical spine surgery unit.</p>\n<p> &quot;Various challenges during the surgery were undoubtedly unprecedented and could have potentially led to situations that are hard to manage. However, the certainty of no recovery without surgery left no other option,&quot; he said, adding that the determination of the patient&#39;s family motivated the medical team to proceed.</p>\n<p> The surgery took place on June 18. Using advanced microsurgical techniques, the team removed the hematoma, overcame severe adhesions and deformities, and precisely realigned the severed cervical structures.</p>\n<p> Chen said the team also applied an innovative &quot;satellite plate&quot; fixation technique &mdash; adding auxiliary plates to the conventional method &mdash; to provide extra stability. It was the first use of the technique in such an extreme case.</p>\n<p> Before surgery, the team carried out a comprehensive evaluation of the injuries and drafted detailed contingency plans for possible complications such as circulatory collapse. The operation concluded within three hours without any major incidents.</p>\n<p> Afterward, Li&#39;s condition steadily improved. After he regained consciousness, his vital signs stabilized and the tracheal tube was removed. He was able to sit up with assistance, showing signs of neurological recovery.</p>\n<p> Li was discharged on July 9 and is now in rehabilitation to restore upper limb function.</p>\n<p> The case has drawn wide attention in China&#39;s spinal surgery community, with experts praising the hospital&#39;s handling of the unprecedented challenge.</p>\n<p> &quot;Our team aims to continue expanding the frontiers of cervical spine surgery and challenging the limits of technology, offering hope to more patients facing life-threatening conditions,&quot; Chen said.</p>\n<p> <span>zhouwenting@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

"title": "008COMMENT - Autonomous region&#39;s 60th anniversary starts new chapter for beautiful Xizang",
"description": "<div></div><p> Fully demonstrating the effectiveness of the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China and the strengths of China&#39;s socialist system, people of all ethnic groups in the Xizang autonomous region have benefited more than ever before from development since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012. The new development philosophy that was adopted and has been enriched ever since enabled Xizang, along with the rest of the country, to win the battle to eradicate extreme poverty and realize a moderately prosperous society in all respects in the new era.</p>\n<p> This was the culmination of decades of dedicated efforts to promote the autonomous region&#39;s development after its establishment in 1965. Between that year and 2024, the central government invested a total of 2.6 trillion yuan ($362.3 billion) in Xizang. A further 64.3 billion yuan was invested in the region since the 1990s through the paired-up assistance system in which 17 provinces and municipalities, central enterprises, and central financial institutions provide targeted support for counties and districts in the autonomous region that they are respectively assigned to assist. This system has also sent over 14,000 selected civil servants, professional and talents to work in Xizang for about three years in 11 batches by now.</p>\n<p> Yet the region cannot rest on its development achievements. Promoting the high-quality socioeconomic development of Xizang should always be the focus of local authorities, which should apply to the letter the new development philosophy of innovative, coordinated, green and open development that is for everyone.</p>\n<p> To that end, the local authorities must thoroughly carry out anti-secession efforts to ensure the consolidation and security of the border so as to ensure a stable environment for development as was urged by the central authorities at a grand gathering held on Thursday in Lhasa, capital of the autonomous region, to mark the 60th anniversary of its founding.</p>\n<p> The local authorities must unswervingly consolidate and develop ethnic unity by strengthening the exchanges and integration among all ethnic groups, and the identification of all ethnic groups with the motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Party, and socialism with Chinese characteristics, so as to ensure they fully identify themselves as members of the great Chinese family.</p>\n<p> In the process, local authorities should adhere to a people-centered approach and continuously improve people&#39;s well-being and promote common prosperity so as to ensure the fruits of high-quality development benefit all ethnic groups in Xizang, and local people have a greater sense of gain, fulfillment and security. To help the region promote ethnic unity and progress on all fronts, the central authorities have pledged to continue to increase their input and strengthen support for Xizang&#39;s development in the future.</p>\n<p> The remarkable development of the autonomous region over the past 60 years fully demonstrates that only under the leadership of the CPC, adhering to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, upholding the system of regional ethnic autonomy, and adhering to the Party&#39;s guidelines on the governance of Xizang in the new era, can prosperity and progress be achieved in the autonomous region, and the people of all ethnic groups in Xizang live a happy life.</p>\n<p> With China at a critical juncture in building itself into a modern socialist country in all respects, Xizang&#39;s modernization drive stands at a new historical starting point.</p>\n<p> The region should have the confidence that under the leadership of the Party and with the full support of the nation, it will be able to accomplish the four tasks of ensuring stability, facilitating development, protecting the eco-environment, and strengthening the borders.</p>\n<p> In doing so, Xizang will open a new and splendid era of long-term peace and stability and high-quality development for itself.</p>\n<p></p>",

AI has evolved from a single technological tool into a core engine driving economic, social and cultural transformation. Qi Guojun, a distinguished scientist of the Association for Computing Machinery and professor at Westlake University, spoke to Chinanews.com about the changes that AI would bring about in the economy and whether the global dialogue on AI is about competition or coexistence. Below are excerpts from the interview. The views don&#39;t necessarily represent those of China Daily.</p>\n<p> There is not sufficient evidence or scientific consensus to suggest that AI will develop self-awareness. Such ideas remain largely within the realm of science fiction. Nevertheless, development of the technology does present new challenges, although such issues are not unique to AI. The emergence of any new technology, such as the internet, has historically been accompanied by problems such as piracy and spread of harmful content in the case of the internet.</p>\n<p> But the overall positive impact of AI on society far outweighs the negative. AI brings significant value by advancing productivity, expanding application scenarios, creating new categories of employment and optimizing industrial structures. Indeed, there are already many cases of the positive impact of AI. For example, AI is widely applied in customer service, which has improved productivity. While this has put pressure on employment, it has also generated new and higher-paying jobs in the data industry. In creative sectors, such as digital humans, animation and art production, AI has replaced more than 90 percent of repetitive work. The advertising industry and data-processing-related sectors have also undergone major changes.</p>\n<p> Looking ahead, AI will play a powerful role in improving productivity across all industries. Much like the first stage of internet development, which initially boosted productivity, the next stage may see the rise of new enterprises that are native to the AI ecosystem. Within the next five years, large-scale enterprises borne from AI will emerge, with the potential to exert a profound influence on the global economy for the next 20-30 years.</p>\n<p> As for the future dialogue on AI, it will involve both competition and coexistence, but coexistence will outweigh competition. In this context, two dimensions of competition, speed and openness, are particularly critical.</p>\n<p> With regard to speed, the AI industry shares similarities with the internet sector. Because technological exchanges are frequent, no one can monopolize technology for long. The true advantage lies in scale, where speed and openness determine success. Whoever moves faster can attract more users, acquire more data and iterate their models more efficiently, creating a positive feedback loop, the so-called flywheel effect. Once the flywheel turns, both scale and influence will continue to expand.</p>\n<p> If a model is used on a small scale, it will not be able to attract enough users to form a sustainable commercial cycle. Without growth in data and users, it cannot fully understand user intentions and application scenarios, making it difficult for it to improve performance. This is why AI development must move toward greater openness, encouraging more users to participate in order to generate positive feedback. This is the essence of open competition in AI.</p>\n<p> Successful internet and IT enterprises are inevitably global, or at least exert significant cross-border influence. In the process, mutual reinforcement creates a relationship of coexistence. For instance, cooperation can be carried out in areas such as data governance and AI ethical standards.

"description": "<div></div><p> China&#39;s progress in protecting human rights offers valuable insights for the Global South in developing governance models suited to their own national conditions, scholars from China and Africa say.</p>\n<p> They made the remark at a readers&#39; forum on Xi Jinping: On Respecting and Protecting Human Rights &mdash; a collection of the Chinese president&#39;s statements on the subject &mdash; held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Thursday.</p>\n<p> Senior officials, diplomats, lawyers and scholars from China and African countries applauded the book and China&#39;s unique contributions to global human rights development. The forum was held on the eve of the first China-Africa Human Rights Seminar.</p>\n<p> Jiang Jianguo, executive vice-president of the China Society for Human Rights Studies, said China has achieved historic achievements in human rights since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012.</p>\n<p> Published in 2021, Xi Jinping: On Respecting and Protecting Human Rights represents a landmark in China&#39;s human rights development. The book has since been translated into 13 foreign languages, attracting readers from the global human rights community as well as political, academic, think tank and media circles, Jiang said.</p>\n<p> Quoting Xi, he said, &quot;With different national conditions, countries should and can only explore suitable paths of human rights development in light of national realities and people&#39;s needs.&quot;</p>\n<p> China has advanced its human rights cause based on its national conditions and the people&#39;s needs, Jiang said.</p>\n<p> &quot;It has eradicated absolute poverty; established the world&#39;s largest education, social security and healthcare systems; and continuously developed whole-process people&#39;s democracy. Through this book, we can understand why China&#39;s path of human rights development works and how this cause continues to progress.&quot;</p>\n<p> <b>Remarkable journey</b></p>\n<p> Jeddi Mowbray Armah, deputy minister for legal affairs at Liberia&#39;s Foreign Ministry, said the book is a record of China&#39;s remarkable human rights journey and offers a window into a philosophy rooted in the country&#39;s national conditions and historic transformation.</p>\n<p> &quot;Human rights are universal in value, yet diversity erupts. As President Xi makes it clear, there is no single template for the realization. Every country must check the path consistent with its history, culture and stage of development, while staying faithful to the aspiration for dignity, justice and equality for all,&quot; Armah said. Global South countries should avoid developing human rights models detached from their local realities, he added.</p>\n<p> China has taken a people-centered approach to human rights and whole-process democracy to ensure people get tangible benefits, he said, citing China&#39;s efforts to lift more than 700 million people out of poverty over recent decades.</p>\n<p> &quot;These are human rights in action. They give practical meaning,&quot; he said. &quot;This is a concept that integrates democratic participation at every stage in China. It shifts the focus from narrow electoral circles, from promises made to tangible results delivered.&quot;</p>\n<p> Democracy should be judged not by the form alone, but by whether it serves the people&#39;s interests, he added.</p>\n<p> <b>Unique aspirations</b></p>\n<p> China&#39;s approach to human rights also offers unique aspirations for African countries to confront major challenges, such as poverty, education, health and employment, to make progress in human rights, he said.</p>\n<p> &quot;The challenge before the world is not whether we agree with the human rights matter. It is whether we can create the conditions in which it can be realized for every person and every society.&quot;</p>\n<p> Fredrick Mutesa, secretary-general of the Zambia-China Friendship Association, said China has made important contributions to the global understanding of human rights through proposals such as the Belt and Road Initiative, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Security Initiative.</p>\n<p> &quot;China has become a trailblazer in fostering cooperation among countries of the Global South through these initiatives, (as well as through) China-Africa cooperation in economic development and modernization,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> China is helping unlock Africa&#39;s development potential through infrastructure projects, green development, mining and other sectors, creating favorable conditions for the realization of the right to development, he added.</p>\n<p> Melha Rout Biel, founder and executive director of the Institute for Strategic and Policy Studies in South Sudan, said the Communist Party of China has been pursuing happiness for the Chinese people and progress for humanity since its foundLine truncated

So far, most of the impact, approximately two-thirds, has been absorbed by US importing businesses with lower profit margins,&quot; Bethune said.</p>\n<p> &quot;Only 15 percent has been passed on to consumers.

In recent years, the company has been keen to harness its expertise in helping Chinese companies expand their global operation, offering a clearer road map to success in an increasingly complex international business landscape.</p>\n<p> &quot;Ten years ago, we were primarily focused on bringing Western brands into China, working closely with Western headquarters to tailor messaging for Chinese consumers. Now, the reverse is true. We need to leverage our network&#39;s expertise to help Chinese businesses understand how to drive relevance and resonate with consumers, taking into account the local nuances and cultural norms, whether in France, Fiji, Greece, or Germany,&quot; said Rupert McPetrie, CEO of WPP Media China.</p>\n<p> According to McPetrie, Chinese companies have been displaying increased confidence in their global expansion in recent years. There has also been a shift in business emphasis, with price no longer being the sole focus for these companies.</p>\n<p> &quot;Chinese companies have transitioned from a value-led proposition to offering richer, deeper and more brand-oriented experiences. This shift has been evident in sectors such as electric vehicles and drones, where China is a global leader,&quot; said McPetrie.</p>\n<p> In addition to changing emphasis, McPetrie said that the marketing strategies in overseas markets have evolved.</p>\n<p> &quot;The whole marketing ecosystem has changed. We&#39;re seeing a more integrated approach that encompasses the entire ecosystem &mdash; from branding and awareness to the resonance of brands with consumers in different markets &mdash; all the way through to conversion and click-to-purchase,&quot; said McPetrie.</p>\n<p> McPetrie, who has observed the development of the Chinese market for more than 10 years, said Chinese companies&#39; journey of seeking overseas development features both opportunities and challenges. Quickly understanding and evaluating the market situation, as well as conducting effective localization, will become a unique competitive advantage for brands.</p>\n<p> &quot;Securing a foothold in international markets depends not only on product and supply chain advantages but also on the effective storytelling of their brands. This brand narrative needs to be culturally relevant and resonate with and build trust among overseas consumers through efficient media touchpoints,&quot; said McPetrie.</p>\n<p> In recent years, WPP Media China has achieved excellent results in supporting Chinese brands in their global expansion, including the overseas marketing of Black Myth: Wukong and the global media planning and buying for the mobile phone brand Honor.</p>\n<p> According to McPetrie, WPP Media China is poised to become a long-term trusted partner for more Chinese brands, with the goal of accelerating client growth wherever they conduct business.</p>\n<p> &quot;WPP Media China is an important part of WPP. WPP is present in over 100 countries worldwide and possesses a powerful network, talented teams and cutting-edge solutions tailored to diverse markets. This ensures that brand stories are effectively disseminated within the right media and marketing environments, enhancing the efficiency and impact of brand marketing for global expansion,&quot; said McPetrie.</p>\n<p> At the end of May, WPP globally announced the rebranding of GroupM to WPP Media, with the aim to further consolidate its development foundation and enhance its offer for the future. The move will enable WPP Media to deliver more integrated solutions to its clients in a more efficient manner.</p>\n<p> &quot;We&#39;ve been on a journey to become much easier to access. We&#39;re very lucky at the capabilities that we&#39;ve been building. But one of the jobs we have is to make sure our clients can get the benefit of those capabilities very easily. We&#39;ve been simplifying our organization practically and strategically, and the rebranding was just a symbol of that,&quot; said McPetrie.</p>\n<p> WPP Open, an artificial intelligence-enabled marketing platform empowered by Open Intelligence and developed by WPP Media, is deemed the main engine supporting its transition, according to McPetrie.</p>\n<p> <span>tangzhihao@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",
