President Xi Jinping chairs and addresses the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization Plus "Meeting in Tianjin on Monday. His speech was titled "Pooling the Strength of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to Improve Global Governance".

\n

President Xi Jinping unveiled the Global Governance Initiative at a grand gathering with leaders from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization family on Monday, stressing China's readiness to work with all countries for a more just and equitable global governance system.

\n

The Chinese president expounded on his fourth global initiative, after the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative and Global Civilization Initiative, at the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization Plus "Meeting in Tianjin.

\n

The meeting brought together leaders of more than 20 countries from the SCO family, including member states, observer states and dialogue partners, as well as 10 international organizations.

\n

In explaining the initiative, Xi pointed out that the Cold War mentality, hegemony and protectionism continue to haunt the world, and "global governance has come to a new crossroads".

\n

He highlighted five principles for the Global Governance Initiative — adherence to sovereign equality, abiding by international rule of law, practicing true multilateralism, advocating the people-centered approach and focusing on taking real actions.

\n

"We should maintain that all countries, regardless of size, strength and wealth, are equal participants, decision-makers and beneficiaries in global governance," Xi said. "We should promote greater democracy in international relations and increase the representation and voice of developing countries," he said.

\n

He warned against "double standards" and rules imposed by "a few countries", stressing that the United Nations must remain at the core of global governance.

\n

Xi emphasized the need to firmly safeguard the status and authority of the UN and ensure its "irreplaceable, key role" in global governance.

\n

Meanwhile, he made an appeal for the reform and improvement of the global governance system to ensure that the people of every nation are the actors in and beneficiaries of global governance.

\n

The goal, he said, is to better tackle the common challenges for mankind, better narrow the North-South gap, and better safeguard the common interests of all countries.

\n

The Chinese president then made the case for taking real actions, saying that countries should adopt a systematic and holistic approach, coordinate global actions, fully mobilize various resources, and strive for more visible outcomes.

\n

"We should enhance practical cooperation to prevent the governance system from lagging behind or being fragmented," he said.

\n

Xi called on the SCO to step up and play a leading role and set an example in carrying out the Global Governance Initiative, saying the grouping should contribute to safeguarding world peace and stability.

\n

"We should continue to uphold the principles of nonalliance, nonconfrontation and not targeting any third party," he added.

\n

The organization should take responsibility for open cooperation across the globe, he said. "We should continue to dismantle walls, not erect them; we should seek integration, not decoupling."

\n

Xi also said that SCO countries should advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation and push for universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.

\n

He announced Beijing's decision to establish three major platforms for China-SCO cooperation in energy, green industry and the digital economy, and to set up three major cooperation centers for sci-tech innovation, higher education and vocational and technical education.

\n

China will work with fellow SCO countries in the next five years to increase the installed capacity of photovoltaic and wind power by 10 million kilowatts each, Xi said.

\n

Xi then urged SCO countries to set an example in championing the common values of humanity, while announcing China's decision to treat 500 patients with congenital heart disease, perform 5,000 cataract operations and carry out 10,000 cancer screenings for other SCO countries.

\n

Xi also made an appeal for SCO countries to defend international fairness and justice, saying they should continue to unequivocally oppose hegemonism and power politics, practice true multilateralism, and stand as "a pillar in promoting a multipolar world and greater democracy in international relations".

\n

The initiative was widely welcomed and supported during the meeting, as leaders highlighted the need for a more effective governance philosophy and system as the world is confronted with widening deficits in governance, challenges to sustainable development and rising unilateralism.

\n

Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at a news briefing on Monday that Xi's launch of the Global Governance Initiative was the "biggest highlight" of this year's SCO summit.

\n

He said that the initiative's underlying principles are fully consistent with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. "It is designed to firmly support the central role of the UN in international affairs, and to encourage all countries to participate in the reform and development of the global governance system through the UN and other multilateral mechanisms."

\n

Nurlan Yermekbayev, the SCO's secretary-general, said the fact that the Global Governance Initiative "was put forward on the SCO platform carries profound symbolic significance".

\n

"Indeed, the principles enshrined in the initiative are of paramount importance, with the people-centered approach standing out in particular. After all, as we all recognize, the initiative's central purpose is to advance human development and improve people's livelihoods."

\n

Primary school students present flowers to veterans of the Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column during a Victory Day commemoration in Hong Kong on Aug 15.

\n

Law King-fai, a member of the Hong Kong Independent Battalion.

\n

The agonized cry, "If I die, avenge me!" has echoed in Lam Chun's mind for 82 years.

\n

It was May 1943 in Kowloon City, when Japanese soldiers dragged her 23-year-old sister, Lam Chin, into their home. The accusation was theft — a charge fabricated after she rejected a soldier's advances.

\n

A laundry worker at the Japanese barracks, Lam Chin was subjected to a relentless beating, with rifle butts smashing against her bones.

\n

Eight-year-old Lam Chun stood frozen. Her sister was tied to the staircase, her shirt staining redder with each blow.

\n

Soldiers demanded stolen military currency she had never touched. When she fainted, they revived her with water. When their mother lunged forward, a soldier threw the older woman to the ground. A blade was pressed to Lam Chin's throat — yet she never yielded.

\n

"That day left a deep impression on me," Lam Chun, now 90, recalled. "It wasn't a day for just our family's shame, but also the nation's suffering."

\n

The torture lasted hours, finally ending at lunchtime. Having found nothing, the soldiers left — but not before stealing a pair of military binoculars that had belonged to Lam Chun's late father, a Kuomintang officer.

\n

What her tormentors didn't know was that Lam Chin was secretly smuggling intelligence for guerrillas led by the Communist Party of China in their fight to liberate Hong Kong.

\n

That night, as her family dressed her wounds, Lam Chin revealed her secret. A former leader in the student movement supporting the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), she had long been fighting back.

\n

Her suffering, coupled with this revelation, became a call to arms — not just for vengeance, but for victory.

\n

"'If we're beaten for no reason at home, we might as well fight,'" Lam Chun remembered her mother declaring.

\n

Family became comrades

\n

Within months, Lam Chun, her mother, and her brother joined the Hong Kong Independent Battalion — her sister's unit. They fled to its Pingshan headquarters in rural Shenzhen in Guangdong province. Lam Chun's two other older sisters stayed behind in occupied Hong Kong; one worked at a bookstore by day and taught night classes for female factory workers, while the other, recently married, was unable to join them.

\n

Nearly 1,000 strong and composed almost entirely of locals, the battalion became a relentless foe to Japan after its Dec 8, 1941, invasion of Hong Kong.

\n

The then-British colony's defenses collapsed in just 18 days — a swift defeat that historians, including Hong Kong Chronicles Institute Deputy Chief Editor Liu Shuyong, see as emblematic of Britain's halfhearted commitment to defending the colony.

\n

Now, as the last survivors fade, their stories — once buried under colonial and wartime politics have resurfaced. Their resistance played a crucial role in the broader Allied effort to defeat fascism and weaken the Japanese war machine, and their heroics in the liberation of Hong Kong cannot be underestimated.

\n

Dark chapter

\n

Dec 8, 1941, began like any ordinary morning in Hong Kong — until warplanes tore through the dawn sky. The Lam family had just finished breakfast when air raid sirens shattered the calm. Lam Chun and her mother were on their way to church when the first bombs fell.

\n

Their home, directly across from Kai Tak airfield, placed them in the crosshairs. "When the bombing started, my mother ran back to check on my siblings," Lam Chun recalled. "The streets had already descended into chaos."

\n

The Japanese occupation shattered their lives overnight. The family school, run by her mother, was forced to close, leaving them with no income. To survive, they sold desks and chairs, piece by piece.

\n

From their balcony overlooking Tak Ku Ling Road, Kowloon City, they witnessed the war's merciless toll. "Refugees huddled beneath our building, clutching children or meager bundles," she said. "Days later, garbage trucks would arrive. The same people lay wrapped in straw mats — dead from starvation."

\n

Civilian networks

\n

The Hong Kong Independent Battalion traces its roots to the Guangdong People's Guerrilla Force resisting Japanese aggression — specifically its 3rd and 5th Companies, the precursors to the famed Dongjiang (East River) Column. From the earliest days of occupation, these fighters waged a relentless campaign against Japanese forces stretching from Kowloon to the New Territories.

\n

For three years and eight months, they stood as Hong Kong's only organized armed resistance — a lifeline sustained by civilian networks that included the likes of the Lam family.

\n

"Many Hong Kong families joined the resistance together — fighting as one," said Lam Chun, now president of the Society of the Veterans of the Original Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column, which documents this wartime heroism.

\n

Few embodied this spirit more than the Law family of Sha Tau Kok, with nine of its 11 members taking up arms as guerrillas.

\n

Born in 1930, Law King-fai grew up amid the resistance efforts. His childhood was defined by the cause and even as a toddler, he was taught patriotic songs.

\n

"Fight the Japanese, fight the Japanese! Down with Japanese imperialism, protect our homeland!" the 95-year-old recalled, singing along.

\n

He remembered the Japanese frequently seizing villagers for forced labor, including his father. In 1943, aged just 13, Law followed his uncles into the guerrilla battalion's sea detachment, which conducted maritime attacks with rudimentary weapons.

\n

His most harrowing mission occurred off the coast of Shenzhen that same year. His unit ambushed a Japanese supply ship that had strayed off course and run aground. As they chased the fleeing Japanese soldiers, Law lost two comrades in the fierce fighting.

\n

"We eventually sank the ship," said Law, noting that his detachment was instrumental in intercepting Japanese logistics convoys carrying supplies, armaments and food in international waters.

\n

Collective resistance

\n

The Lams' journey mirrored this collective resistance.

\n

By 1943, Lam Chin was already a member of the battalion's international work division in charge of translation and intelligence. She kept working in the unit until she became chief of the enemy operations department, where she used her self-taught Japanese to reeducate Japanese prisoners of war. She served as a personal interpreter for Dongjiang Column Commander, Tsang Sang.

\n

Her mother was involved in military logistics, proving that even those who'd never held a gun could contribute to the fight.

\n

Lam Chun, just a child at the time, was a messenger, threading her way through enemy lines with matchstick-sized intelligence scrolls tucked into her collar or hidden among fruit baskets. She mastered the Hakka dialect and learned to decipher secret trail markers that included scratched tree trunks and arranged stones.

\n

"We received tremendous support from local farmers," she recalled. "They helped not just with our missions, but also with our personal hardships."

\n

After six months as a courier, Lam was assigned to a guerrilla field hospital. She started with basics like feeding patients and soon progressed to dressing wounds and reusing sterilized gauze, a grim necessity.

\n

The worst were the surgeries without anesthesia. She'd clutch her hands as doctors dug bullets from screaming soldiers-only to hear some of those men days later, insisting: "Don't worry, Ah Chun. We'll win this war."

\n

Great rescue

\n

In one of the war's boldest missions, the battalion smuggled over 800 Chinese cultural figures, their relatives, and soldiers of international allies out of occupied Hong Kong.

\n

The city had been a precarious refuge since 1937, when artists, writers, and scholars from the Chinese mainland fled there to avoid Japan's invasion. They published underground newspapers, staged anti-fascist plays and broadcast messages of defiance. This made them prime targets.

\n

When Hong Kong fell to Japanese invasion forces in 1941, the occupiers moved swiftly to crush China's intellectual resistance. Propaganda flooded the streets, and cinema screens ordered prominent figures to report for "collaboration".

\n

Peking Opera legend Mei Lanfang, filmmakers Cai Chusheng and Situ Huimin, and writer Mao Dun were summoned by occupiers under the guise of an invitation.

\n

Trapped in a Cantonese-speaking city where their accents marked them out, escape seemed impossible. Yet a covert network of guerrillas, fishermen and locals orchestrated their evacuation — sneaking them past checkpoints and through jungle to Free China.

\n

"It was an epic operation — moving 800 people under the noses of the Japanese, undetected for over 200 days," said Chan Hoi-lun, daughter of guerrilla leader Chan Leung-ming.

\n

Her mother, Tsau Sheung-ling, played a key role. At 20, she disguised herself as filmmaker Cai's niece, guiding him and his wife past patrols with acting so convincing she fooled the soldiers. They reached a safe house in Central and later escaped to Guilin in Guangxi via Macao.

\n

Her bravery came with a high price. After helping run a Lantau Island resistance base, Tsau was betrayed by a traitor and arrested by the Japanese. Right after giving birth to her daughter, she was seized and tortured. She watched the 12-day-old girl die of malnutrition in prison. Her in-laws were later executed by Japanese troops.

\n

"Patriotism has always been here in Hong Kong," Chan Hoi-lun said. "This rescue was fought and won here."

\n

Remembrance

\n

Hong Kong is launching a series of events to educate its youth on national history and commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the war. The initiative includes exhibitions, workshops, film screenings, and exchange tours to historical sites on the Chinese mainland.

\n

The need for such education is felt personally by the likes of Chan Hoi-lun, who says she was exhilarated to hear about the new memorial started on Aug 12 at Silvermine Bay.

\n

The site on Lantau Island is where her father once organized guerrilla fighting and where a tragic massacre unfolded from Aug 19 to 26, 1945. Even after Japan's surrender, Japanese troops accused villagers of harboring guerrillas, arresting 300 and killing 11 of the bay's 500 residents.

\n

Upon its completion in October, the Silvermine Bay memorial will join other commemorative sites, including those in Sha Tau Kok in the New Territories, and in Sai Kung's Wong Mo Ying village and Tsam Chuk Wan.

\n

"It's not fair for those who gave their lives decades ago that today's Hong Kong youth don't even know the history," Chan said, citing the colonial-era authorities' neglect of local efforts to fight Japanese aggression.

\n

She highlighted the importance of physical memorials erected where battles were fought, calling them the basic infrastructure for patriotism education. "They can help tell the stories that unfolded there across time," she said.

\n

At a recent forum, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu underscored the city's significant role in China's war efforts. He cited the city's work in shipping war supplies, rescue operations, and front-line defense, embodied by brave groups like the Hong Kong Independent Battalion.

\n

Lee called the victory a hard-won lesson in the importance of peace. He urged the public to honor these historical sacrifices and firmly oppose any distortion of history or glorification of aggression.

\n

In a recent interview with China Daily, Hong Kong lawmaker Chan Yung said that while history education has improved significantly since the 1997 handover, more must be done to strengthen the understanding of national history — particularly amid current global tensions.

\n

This history remains etched in the memory of Lam Chun. Holding a black-and-white photograph of herself with her older sister and brother taken at Sung Wong Toi Park before the Japanese invasion, Lam recalled how her sister Lam Chin would constantly bring home friends to sing:

\n

My home is on the Songhua River in the Northeast,

\n

Where there are forests and coal mines,

\n

And soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains and fields.

\n

"I would listen and sing along, but couldn't understand at the time," she said. "It was not until the 1941 invasion started that I realized they were songs of resistance against Japanese aggression."

From their balcony overlooking Tak Ku Ling Road, Kowloon City, they witnessed the war's merciless toll. "Refugees huddled beneath our building, clutching children or meager bundles," she said. "Days later, garbage trucks would arrive. The same people lay wrapped in straw mats — dead from starvation."

\n

Civilian networks

\n

The Hong Kong Independent Battalion traces its roots to the Guangdong People's Guerrilla Force resisting Japanese aggression — specifically its 3rd and 5th Companies, the precursors to the famed Dongjiang (East River) Column. From the earliest days of occupation, these fighters waged a relentless campaign against Japanese forces stretching from Kowloon to the New Territories.

\n

For three years and eight months, they stood as Hong Kong's only organized armed resistance — a lifeline sustained by civilian networks that included the likes of the Lam family.

\n

"Many Hong Kong families joined the resistance together — fighting as one," said Lam Chun, now president of the Society of the Veterans of the Original Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column, which documents this wartime heroism.

\n

Few embodied this spirit more than the Law family of Sha Tau Kok, with nine of its 11 members taking up arms as guerrillas.

\n

Born in 1930, Law King-fai grew up amid the resistance efforts. His childhood was defined by the cause and even as a toddler, he was taught patriotic songs.

\n

"Fight the Japanese, fight the Japanese! Down with Japanese imperialism, protect our homeland!" the 95-year-old recalled, singing along.

\n

He remembered the Japanese frequently seizing villagers for forced labor, including his father. In 1943, aged just 13, Law followed his uncles into the guerrilla battalion's sea detachment, which conducted maritime attacks with rudimentary weapons.

\n

His most harrowing mission occurred off the coast of Shenzhen that same year. His unit ambushed a Japanese supply ship that had strayed off course and run aground. As they chased the fleeing Japanese soldiers, Law lost two comrades in the fierce fighting.

\n

"We eventually sank the ship," said Law, noting that his detachment was instrumental in intercepting Japanese logistics convoys carrying supplies, armaments and food in international waters.

\n

Collective resistance

\n

The Lams' journey mirrored this collective resistance.

\n

By 1943, Lam Chin was already a member of the battalion's international work division in charge of translation and intelligence. She kept working in the unit until she became chief of the enemy operations department, where she used her self-taught Japanese to reeducate Japanese prisoners of war. She served as a personal interpreter for Dongjiang Column Commander, Tsang Sang.

\n

Her mother was involved in military logistics, proving that even those who'd never held a gun could contribute to the fight.

\n

Lam Chun, just a child at the time, was a messenger, threading her way through enemy lines with matchstick-sized intelligence scrolls tucked into her collar or hidden among fruit baskets. She mastered the Hakka dialect and learned to decipher secret trail markers that included scratched tree trunks and arranged stones.

\n

"We received tremendous support from local farmers," she recalled. "They helped not just with our missions, but also with our personal hardships."

\n

After six months as a courier, Lam was assigned to a guerrilla field hospital. She started with basics like feeding patients and soon progressed to dressing wounds and reusing sterilized gauze, a grim necessity.

\n

The worst were the surgeries without anesthesia. She'd clutch her hands as doctors dug bullets from screaming soldiers-only to hear some of those men days later, insisting: "Don't worry, Ah Chun. We'll win this war."

\n

Great rescue

\n

In one of the war's boldest missions, the battalion smuggled over 800 Chinese cultural figures, their relatives, and soldiers of international allies out of occupied Hong Kong.

\n

The city had been a precarious refuge since 1937, when artists, writers, and scholars from the Chinese mainland fled there to avoid Japan's invasion. They published underground newspapers, staged anti-fascist plays and broadcast messages of defiance. This made them prime targets.

\n

When Hong Kong fell to Japanese invasion forces in 1941, the occupiers moved swiftly to crush China's intellectual resistance. Propaganda flooded the streets, and cinema screens ordered prominent figures to report for "collaboration".

\n

Peking Opera legend Mei Lanfang, filmmakers Cai Chusheng and Situ Huimin, and writer Mao Dun were summoned by occupiers under the guise of an invitation.

\n

Trapped in a Cantonese-speaking city where their accents marked them out, escape seemed impossible. Yet a covert network of guerrillas, fishermen and locals orchestrated their evacuation — sneaking them past checkpoints and through jungle to Free China.

\n

"It was an epic operation — moving 800 people under the noses of the Japanese, undetected for over 200 days," said Chan Hoi-lun, daughter of guerrilla leader Chan Leung-ming.

\n

Her mother, Tsau Sheung-ling, played a key role. At 20, she disguised herself as filmmaker Cai's niece, guiding him and his wife past patrols with acting so convincing she fooled the soldiers. They reached a safe house in Central and later escaped to Guilin in Guangxi via Macao.

\n

Her bravery came with a high price. After helping run a Lantau Island resistance base, Tsau was betrayed by a traitor and arrested by the Japanese. Right after giving birth to her daughter, she was seized and tortured. She watched the 12-day-old girl die of malnutrition in prison. Her in-laws were later executed by Japanese troops.

\n

"Patriotism has always been here in Hong Kong," Chan Hoi-lun said. "This rescue was fought and won here."

\n

Remembrance

\n

Hong Kong is launching a series of events to educate its youth on national history and commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the war. The initiative includes exhibitions, workshops, film screenings, and exchange tours to historical sites on the Chinese mainland.

\n

The need for such education is felt personally by the likes of Chan Hoi-lun, who says she was exhilarated to hear about the new memorial started on Aug 12 at Silvermine Bay.

\n

The site on Lantau Island is where her father once organized guerrilla fighting and where a tragic massacre unfolded from Aug 19 to 26, 1945. Even after Japan's surrender, Japanese troops accused villagers of harboring guerrillas, arresting 300 and killing 11 of the bay's 500 residents.

\n

Upon its completion in October, the Silvermine Bay memorial will join other commemorative sites, including those in Sha Tau Kok in the New Territories, and in Sai Kung's Wong Mo Ying village and Tsam Chuk Wan.

\n

"It's not fair for those who gave their lives decades ago that today's Hong Kong youth don't even know the history," Chan said, citing the colonial-era authorities' neglect of local efforts to fight Japanese aggression.

\n

She highlighted the importance of physical memorials erected where battles were fought, calling them the basic infrastructure for patriotism education. "They can help tell the stories that unfolded there across time," she said.

\n

At a recent forum, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu underscored the city's significant role in China's war efforts. He cited the city's work in shipping war supplies, rescue operations, and front-line defense, embodied by brave groups like the Hong Kong Independent Battalion.

\n

Lee called the victory a hard-won lesson in the importance of peace. He urged the public to honor these historical sacrifices and firmly oppose any distortion of history or glorification of aggression.

\n

In a recent interview with China Daily, Hong Kong lawmaker Chan Yung said that while history education has improved significantly since the 1997 handover, more must be done to strengthen the understanding of national history — particularly amid current global tensions.

\n

This history remains etched in the memory of Lam Chun. Holding a black-and-white photograph of herself with her older sister and brother taken at Sung Wong Toi Park before the Japanese invasion, Lam recalled how her sister Lam Chin would constantly bring home friends to sing:

\n

My home is on the Songhua River in the Northeast,

\n

Where there are forests and coal mines,

\n

And soybeans and sorghum all over the mountains and fields.

\n

"I would listen and sing along, but couldn't understand at the time," she said. "It was not until the 1941 invasion started that I realized they were songs of resistance against Japanese aggression."

\n

Law King-fai, a member of the Hong Kong Independent Battalion.

\n

The agonized cry, "If I die, avenge me!" has echoed in Lam Chun's mind for 82 years.

\n

It was May 1943 in Kowloon City, when Japanese soldiers dragged her 23-year-old sister, Lam Chin, into their home. The accusation was theft — a charge fabricated after she rejected a soldier's advances.

\n

A laundry worker at the Japanese barracks, Lam Chin was subjected to a relentless beating, with rifle butts smashing against her bones.

\n

Eight-year-old Lam Chun stood frozen. Her sister was tied to the staircase, her shirt staining redder with each blow.

\n

Soldiers demanded stolen military currency she had never touched. When she fainted, they revived her with water. When their mother lunged forward, a soldier threw the older woman to the ground. A blade was pressed to Lam Chin's throat — yet she never yielded.

\n

"That day left a deep impression on me," Lam Chun, now 90, recalled. "It wasn't a day for just our family's shame, but also the nation's suffering."

\n

The torture lasted hours, finally ending at lunchtime. Having found nothing, the soldiers left — but not before stealing a pair of military binoculars that had belonged to Lam Chun's late father, a Kuomintang officer.

\n

What her tormentors didn't know was that Lam Chin was secretly smuggling intelligence for guerrillas led by the Communist Party of China in their fight to liberate Hong Kong.

\n

That night, as her family dressed her wounds, Lam Chin revealed her secret. A former leader in the student movement supporting the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), she had long been fighting back.

\n

Her suffering, coupled with this revelation, became a call to arms — not just for vengeance, but for victory.

\n

"'If we're beaten for no reason at home, we might as well fight,'" Lam Chun remembered her mother declaring.

\n

Family became comrades

\n

Within months, Lam Chun, her mother, and her brother joined the Hong Kong Independent Battalion — her sister's unit. They fled to its Pingshan headquarters in rural Shenzhen in Guangdong province. Lam Chun's two other older sisters stayed behind in occupied Hong Kong; one worked at a bookstore by day and taught night classes for female factory workers, while the other, recently married, was unable to join them.

\n

Nearly 1,000 strong and composed almost entirely of locals, the battalion became a relentless foe to Japan after its Dec 8, 1941, invasion of Hong Kong.

\n

The then-British colony's defenses collapsed in just 18 days — a swift defeat that historians, including Hong Kong Chronicles Institute Deputy Chief Editor Liu Shuyong, see as emblematic of Britain's halfhearted commitment to defending the colony.

\n

Now, as the last survivors fade, their stories — once buried under colonial and wartime politics have resurfaced. Their resistance played a crucial role in the broader Allied effort to defeat fascism and weaken the Japanese war machine, and their heroics in the liberation of Hong Kong cannot be underestimated.

\n

Dark chapter

\n

Dec 8, 1941, began like any ordinary morning in Hong Kong — until warplanes tore through the dawn sky. The Lam family had just finished breakfast when air raid sirens shattered the calm. Lam Chun and her mother were on their way to church when the first bombs fell.

\n

Their home, directly across from Kai Tak airfield, placed them in the crosshairs. "When the bombing started, my mother ran back to check on my siblings," Lam Chun recalled. "The streets had already descended into chaos."

\n

The Japanese occupation shattered their lives overnight. The family school, run by her mother, was forced to close, leaving them with no income. To survive, they sold desks and chairs, piece by piece.

\n

From their balcony overlooking Tak Ku Ling Road, Kowloon City, they witnessed the war's merciless toll. "Refugees huddled beneath our building, clutching children or meager bundles," she said.

Tourists pick peaches at an orchard developed on an abandoned quarry in Zhonghua village, Beibei district in Chongqing.

\n

\n

An aerial photo shows the quarry after the green restoration project.

\n

In a mountain village in Southwest China's Chongqing, a former barren stone quarry has been reborn as a vibrant rural tourism destination through ecological reform and the creation of innovative tourism experiences, setting a benchmark for sustainable development.

\n

Located in Zhonghua village, Jingguan township of Beibei district, the once bustling site of industrial activity is now a vibrant green landscape. Over 20 hectares of peach and plum trees flourish here, accompanied by the elegantly constructed Jibai Villa, a nationally recognized A-level tourist homestay inn.

\n

The transformation of this site is nothing short of remarkable. Visitors are greeted with a diverse range of activities, from rural tourism experiences like flower appreciation and fruit picking to a mining study club and the region's first innkeeper training school.

\n

A newly built 120-square-meter lifestyle aesthetics center offers yoga and Pilates activities, while a stylish restaurant and cafe, converted from former quarry management offices and workshops, serve as social hubs.

\n

According to Zhou Song, the owner, the site attracts up to 1,000 visitors daily during peak seasons, totaling more than 100,000 tourists annually and generating revenue exceeding five million yuan ($698,330). The guesthouse accommodates 400 diners simultaneously and provides stable employment for nearly 30 local villagers, each earning an average annual income of about 50,000 yuan.

\n

In 2022, the village collective economic cooperative invested in Jibai's surrounding projects, increasing the village's annual income by 150,000 yuan.

\n

The story of this transformation began in the early 2000s when Zhou's father leased the land for stone mining. Despite initial economic benefits, excessive mining led to severe environmental degradation. Recognizing the need for change, Zhou's father closed the quarry at the end of 2016.

\n

With a background in architecture, Zhou led his design team to launch a green restoration project in early 2017. The homestay opened in 2020 and quickly became a popular destination. The local government has supported this initiative by providing infrastructure such as a display area for a weekend specialty market, a basketball court, paved roads, and street lighting.

\n

Zhang Deqiang, a mining environmental expert at the China Institute of Geo-Environmental Monitoring, praised the project during a recent field trip. "I've noticed that many ecological restoration projects in Chongqing are supported by industries, primarily thanks to the full use of the region's superb strategic location."

\n

He noted that the mining pit and cultural tourism development in Beibei have enabled the municipality to explore a unique restoration path that addresses historical ecological issues while providing new growth opportunities for rural vitalization.

\n

This initiative is part of a broader effort by the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment, which has restored 7,025 hectares of historically abandoned and closed mines, marking significant progress in ecological protection and restoration.

\n

Zhou said he plans to enhance the site's functionality to draw diverse visitors. He envisions creating a hub for homestays that offer comprehensive services to tourists, thereby attracting more investors interested in agriculture and hospitality.

It is not alarmist to say that global governance stands at a critical juncture, and that reform of the postwar international system is imperative to make it fit for the times.

\n

It was therefore timely that the largest-ever summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which convened in China's northern port city of Tianjin on Sunday and Monday, significantly bolstered confidence in meaningful reform of the global governance system to make it more effective.

\n

The SCO Plus meeting sounded a resounding note for global cooperation, development and a shared future.

\n

As Chinese President Xi Jinping underscored in his address to the meeting on Monday, the organization has increasingly become a catalyst for the development and reform of the global governance system, and he called on it to "continue to unequivocally oppose hegemonism and power politics, practice true multilateralism, and stand as a pillar in promoting a multipolar world and greater democracy in international relations".

\n

Stressing that the historical trends of peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit remain unchanged, he said the world has found itself in a new period of turbulence and transformation, with new threats and challenges increasing, as the Cold War mentality, hegemonism and protectionism continue to haunt the world.

\n

This has created trust and security deficits. To address these, President Xi called on those attending the meeting to improve global governance by setting an example in carrying out the Global Governance Initiative that he proposed.

\n

To this end, he highlighted five key principles of the initiative: First, adhering to sovereign equality and upholding the principle that all countries, regardless of size, strength, wealth or poverty, enjoy equal participation, decision-making, and benefits from global governance; Second, abiding by international rule of law, fully, comprehensively, and completely adhering to the universally recognized basic norms of international relations, including the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, ensuring the equal and uniform application of international law and rules, and refraining from double standards, and the imposing of the "house rules" of a few countries on others; Third, practicing multilateralism by adhering to the global governance concept of extensive consultation and joint contribution for shared benefits; Fourth, advocating the people-centered approach to ensure that people of all countries participate in and share the fruits of improved global governance; Fifth, focusing on taking real actions by adhering to systematic planning and holistic advancement of coordinated global actions that fully mobilize resources from all parties.

\n

"I look forward to working with all countries for a more just and equitable global governance system and advancing toward a community with a shared future for humanity," he said.

\n

Multilateralism, based on coordination and cooperation, is ingrained in the DNA of the SCO Plus, which boasts 10 member states, two observer states and 15 dialogue partners, and represents nearly half of the world's population, one-fourth of the global landmass and about one-fourth of the global GDP. No wonder the SCO is being increasingly looked upon as an important force for safeguarding world peace and a driver for reform of the global governance system.

\n

As President Xi told those attending the meeting in Tianjin on Monday, the SCO member states were the first to put forward the vision of global governance featuring extensive consultation and joint contribution for shared benefits as an effort to practice true multilateralism. Hailing the organization for its international influence and appeal that are increasing day by day, Xi urged them to forge ahead by carrying forward the Shanghai Spirit that the organization embodies.

\n

Reforming and improving global governance to keep pace with the times is imperative to uphold international fairness and justice and oppose the bullying acts of those who hope to keep a stranglehold on international affairs.

\n

The Shanghai Spirit of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for the diversity of civilizations, and pursuit of common development is the guiding light for the organization to forge ahead with solid steps toward the realization of a community with a shared future for humanity.

It is not alarmist to say that global governance stands at a critical juncture, and that reform of the postwar international system is imperative to make it fit for the times.

\n

It was therefore timely that the largest-ever summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which convened in China's northern port city of Tianjin on Sunday and Monday, significantly bolstered confidence in meaningful reform of the global governance system to make it more effective.

\n

The SCO Plus meeting sounded a resounding note for global cooperation, development and a shared future.

\n

As Chinese President Xi Jinping underscored in his address to the meeting on Monday, the organization has increasingly become a catalyst for the development and reform of the global governance system, and he called on it to "continue to unequivocally oppose hegemonism and power politics, practice true multilateralism, and stand as a pillar in promoting a multipolar world and greater democracy in international relations".

Editor's Note: Brazilian media Forum Magazine recently published an article stating that for decades, industrial growth and sustainability seemed at odds with each other, but now, China's green factories are striving to prove that the two can go hand in hand and even transform sustainability into a source of strength. In an interview with People's Daily Overseas Edition, Xu Yingming, a senior researcher of green trade at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, expounded on China's experience in this regard. Below are excerpts from the interview. The views don't necessarily represent those of China Daily.

\n

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". For two decades, this scientific philosophy has guided China's continuous exploration of ways to achieve coordinated progress of ecological protection and economic development. By 2024, China's energy consumption per unit of GDP had decreased by 11.6 percent compared to 2020, equivalent to a reduction of 1.1 billion metric tons of CO2 emissions.

\n

Focusing on core objectives such as intensive land use, harmless raw materials, clean production, waste resource utilization and low-carbon energy, green factories continuously promote intensive utilization of infrastructure, management systems, energy and resource inputs and products. This makes them a key vehicle for green development throughout the product life cycle and manufacturing industry chain.

\n

Over the past decade, green factories, as the core implementation unit of green manufacturing, have been a major driving force in China's efforts to build an efficient, clean, low-carbon and circular green manufacturing system. Since the launch of a national green factory selection program in 2017, China now has over 6,400 national-level green factories, whose output value accounts for 20 percent of China's total manufacturing output. By 2030, the output value of green factories nationwide is expected to exceed 40 percent of the total manufacturing output value.

\n

Cognitive shifts, policy support and improved standards are key initiatives in China's efforts to promote the development of green factories. On a conceptual level, China is shifting from its past extensive development model to green development, transforming the concept of green development into a quantifiable, replicable, and sustainable closed-loop system of "strategy-management-technology-culture".

\n

On the policy level, China provides substantial policy and financial support for the green transformation of enterprises through multifaceted support, including direct financial incentives, tax incentives, energy conservation and emissions reduction subsidies, green product certification incentives, and green investment guidance funds.

\n

In terms of the standardization system, by implementing and updating a series of policies, standards and regulations for industries such as steel, nonferrous metals, chemicals, and rare earths, a "general principles+ guidelines+ detailed rules" implementation system has been established.

\n

In accordance with the dynamic management requirements of the interim measures for the undertaking, the country plans to annually remove noncompliant green factories, green industry parks and green supply chain management companies from the green manufacturing list.

\n

This ensures that green factories serve as role models, continuously improve green manufacturing standards and promote the green transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. Except for green factories' contribution to environmental protection, the high-value-added green products they produce can also better meet the demand for sustainable consumption in both domestic and international markets. This helps break down green trade barriers, significantly enhance companies' market competitiveness and brand image, foster new drivers of green economic growth and achieve a seamless integration of environmental and economic benefits.

\n

China provides developing countries with a green development plan that deeply embeds green elements throughout the entire industrial process. The country has achieved systematic technological breakthroughs which can provide developing countries with a systematic, intelligent and green menu-style technical support solution.

The Japanese invaders caused untold suffering to the Chinese people before and during World War II. Yet after the end of the war, unlike Germany, Japan did not atone for the atrocities its imperial army committed in the eight years preceding World War II and during the course of the war.

\n

The Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) was central to the World Anti-Fascist War (World War II). However, after World War II, the narrative that the World Anti-Fascist War in Asia was primarily between Japan and the United States became widespread, distorting history and obscuring the truth about the main Eastern theater of the war.

\n

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are often portrayed as the decisive factor behind Japan's surrender in World War II. This one-sided emphasis, which reinforces the US-centric narrative, is a complete misinterpretation of history.

\n

Japan was defeated because of a prolonged war of attrition in China that drained its national and military strength, leading to its collapse. Therefore, I believe the primary contributor to the victory of anti-fascist forces in Asia was the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

\n

Since our secondary school years, we have been taught about the "Pacific war", a result of politically-driven memory shaping promoted by Washington, which defines the war in the Asia-Pacific as a war between the US and Japan, diminishing its true significance and severely distorting history.

\n

The colonial war launched by Tokyo was aimed at seizing Chinese territories and transforming China into a resource base and market, resulting in the loss of tens of millions of lives and systematically seeking to plunder strategic resources such as coal, soybean and petroleum.

\n

Unfortunately, the US occupation of Japan deprived the country of the opportunity to develop strategic autonomy. As seen in the recent House of Councillors election in Japan, which highlighted deep social divisions in the country, Tokyo lacks the historical foundation to reflect on its past. This absence, in turn, has fueled the right-wing drift in Japan.

\n

Only by fully acknowledging that the Imperial Japanese Army was defeated by the Chinese people in the war of resistance can Japan truly atone for the atrocities its fascist forces committed in China and other Asian countries and reaffirm the core principles of its pacifist Constitution — that it would never again wage a war or invade another country.

\n

Japan surrendered to the US-led Allied forces only after facing defeat in China. Yet the prevailing postwar narrative that "Japan did not lose to China" reflects the misunderstanding of both Japan and its neighboring countries. Many scholars superficially attribute Japan's defeat to the US, ignoring deeper analysis.

\n

The number of Japanese troops in China at the time proves that Japan's strategic focus remained on China. In 1941, there were about 1.38 million Japanese troops in China, or about 65 percent of Japan's total ground forces. By 1945, this number had increased to 1.98 million troops, exceeding the number of Japanese military personnel across the Pacific. It was in China that Japan's war machinery was tied down and steadily eroded. The relentless war of attrition led by the Chinese people drained the Japanese military's strength, ultimately leading to its defeat.

\n

In the early stages of its aggression, Japan gravely miscalculated both the national strength of China and the Chinese people's resolve to resist Japanese aggression, despite Emperor Hirohito, Japan's wartime supreme commander, repeatedly emphasizing since 1941 that "China must not be underestimated".

\n

While Japan relied on the emperor's authority to force soldiers and civilians into its war machine, the Chinese people's resistance was fundamentally voluntary — a conscious collective choice, not coerced sacrifice. It is imperative therefore that Japan learn from history and, in doing so, foster a more constructive China-Japan relationship.

\n

Beyond US influence, Japan's use of the neutral term "end of the war" is an attempt to avoid acknowledging the real reason for its defeat in World War II. By designating Aug 15 as the "memorial day for the end of the war", and referring to the belligerent Japanese army personnel who died in the war as "war dead", rather than "dead warmongers", Japan is trying to obscure its brutal wartime past. And the visits to Yasukuni Shrine, which honors 14 class A war criminals, by high-ranking Japanese officials are part of Tokyo's systematic attempt to deny history.

\n

Even more troubling is Japan's "sacred decision" narrative, which credits the emperor for ending the war. This narrative enabled the continuation of Japan's power structure in the postwar era, preventing a genuine sense of responsibility for Japanese atrocities from taking root in the country. Also, the Tokyo Trial convicted only a handful of individuals, leaving many others unaccountable.

\n

Postwar Japan has failed to atone for the atrocities the Japanese army committed before and during World War II. On the 80th anniversary of the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War, Japan appears to be sliding back into the prewar period. This dangerous trend is fueled by US support and constraints, which have made Tokyo dependent on Washington. But Japan must understand the global significance of the Chinese people's war of resistance and atone for its past atrocities.

TIANJIN/KABUL — Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday expressed deep condolences to the victims of the earthquake in Afghanistan.

\n

While addressing the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization Plus "Meeting in Tianjin, the president said: "We express condolences and sympathies to victims of the earthquake in Afghanistan."

\n

He added: "I wish the Afghan government and people could overcome difficulties and rebuild their homeland as soon as possible."

\n

A magnitude-6 earthquake on Sunday in Afghanistan has killed at least 812 people and injured 2,817 others, Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesman for the country's interim government, said on Monday.

\n

Mujahid reported that the majority of the devastation occurred in the Nurgal, Suki, Watapur, and Chapa Dara districts of Kunar Province.

\n

In neighboring Nangarhar Province, 12 people were killed and 255 were injured, while Laghman Province recorded 58 injuries and Nuristan Province 4 injuries.

\n

The casualty figures are initial estimates and are likely to rise as evaluations progress, the official stated.

\n

The quake, which struck late on Sunday, hit towns in the province of Kunar, near the city of Jalalabad in neighboring Nangarhar Province, causing extensive damage.

\n

The quake was centered 27 kilometers east-northeast of Jalalabad, the US Geological Survey said. It was just 8 km deep. Shallower quakes tend to cause more damage. Several aftershocks followed.

\n

Footage showed rescuers taking injured people on stretchers from collapsed buildings and into helicopters as people frantically dug through rubble with their hands.

\n

Buildings in Afghanistan tend to be low-rise constructions, mostly of concrete and brick, with homes in rural and outlying areas made from mud bricks and wood.

\n

Worst-affected areas

\n

One resident in Nurgal district, one of the worst-affected areas in Kunar, said nearly the entire village was destroyed.

\n

"Children are under the rubble. The elderly are under the rubble. Young people are under the rubble," said the villager, who did not give his name.

\n

"We need help here," he pleaded.

\n

The quake has worsened communications. Blocked roads are forcing aid workers to walk four or five hours to reach survivors. Dozens of flights have operated in and out of Nangarhar Airport, transporting the injured to hospital.

\n

Rescue operations were underway and medical teams from Kunar, Nangarhar and the capital Kabul have arrived in the area, said Sharafat Zaman, a health ministry spokesman.

\n

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said during a news conference on Monday that China is closely monitoring the earthquake in Kunar Province, eastern Afghanistan, and has expressed deep condolences for the victims.

\n

"China is willing to provide disaster relief assistance within its capacity based on Afghanistan's needs," Guo added.

\n

Filippo Grandi, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, said the earthquake intensified existing humanitarian challenges in Afghanistan and urged international donors to support relief efforts.

\n

"This adds death and destruction to other challenges, including drought and the forced return of millions of Afghans from neighboring countries," Grandi wrote on the social media platform X. "Hopefully, the donor community will not hesitate to support relief efforts."

\n

Sunday night's quake was felt in parts of Pakistan, including the capital Islamabad. There were no reports of casualties or damage.

\n

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said he was deeply saddened by events in Afghanistan. "Our hearts go out to the victims and their families. We are ready to extend all possible support in this regard," he said on the social platform X.

Palestinians flee from the north of the Gaza Strip as they cross the Gaza Valley in the central Gaza Strip, on Sunday.

\n

Israel has intensified its destruction of Gaza City and is mulling extending Israeli sovereignty to the West Bank, with the assault on the largest city in the Gaza Strip raising the specter of the forcible displacement of about 1 million Palestinians already trapped in famine in the besieged area.

\n

Tel Aviv's moves come even as efforts continue within the global community for a major push for a two-state solution at the United Nations this month, except for the latest US visa restrictions for Palestinian leaders.

\n

In a post on social media platform X on Monday, Palestine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said the continuation of "genocide and annexation crimes necessitates practical solutions to address the ongoing international failure to stop them".

\n

It said the continued perpetration of massacres by the occupation forces — a reference to Israel — the use of starvation as a weapon in the aggression against the Palestinian people, and Israeli officials' "boasting" of plans for displacement and annexation of the occupied West Bank must compel states, the UN, and the Security Council to evaluate decisions, efforts, working methods and declared positions regarding "halting the crimes of genocide, displacement and annexation".

\n

On Sunday, the Ministerial Committee assigned by the Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit on Gaza urged the United States to "reconsider and reverse" its decision not to grant visas to the Palestinian delegation for the upcoming session of the UN General Assembly. The call came after the US State Department said the previous day that it was "denying and revoking visas" from members of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority ahead of the UNGA.

\n

Early on Monday, Israeli forces tightened their military measures at the Ein Siniya and Atara checkpoints, north of Ramallah, obstructing the movement of citizens at the checkpoints and randomly stopping and searching vehicles, causing severe traffic congestion, Wafa news agency reported.

\n

On Sunday, at least 78 people across the besieged enclave were killed since dawn, including 32 desperately seeking food.

\n

At the start of a government meeting on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the Israel Defense Forces had killed Abu Obeida, the spokesman of Hamas.

\n

Despite vowing to continue carrying out attacks that threaten Israel's existence, including against the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, and expanding ongoing military operations in Palestinian territories, the Israeli prime minister's office denied it was trying to occupy its neighboring territories.

\n

"Contrary to the false accusation, Israel has no territorial claims against any neighboring countries. Our goal is peace and security," the office said, quoting Netanyahu.

\n

The fighting continues even as the Times of Israel reported that a leaked classified Israel Defense Forces finding has concluded that "Gideon's Chariots" operation failed to meet its core objective of destroying Hamas and returning all hostages, which augurs badly for the IDF's planned push into Gaza City in October, casting doubts whether the army had drawn the necessary lessons ahead of the offensive being planned.

\n

"The most obvious indication that Israel's brutal tactic of overwhelming force is failing to produce tangible results is the continued demolition of Gaza City," Gokhan Ereli, Gulf studies coordinator at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies in Turkiye, told China Daily.

\n

"Instead of improving its relative position in the area, Israel is …more and more seen by its neighbors as the primary threat to the Middle Eastern order and a force whose activities cause more instability than they prevent," said Ereli.

\n

"The repercussions of war. …threaten the stability of Arab states. Even friends are starting to wonder if Israel's claimed political goals can ever be achieved through ceaseless bombardment and widespread suffering of civilians," he added.

\n

"Israel is currently facing the risk of being more than just a party in one conflict; its actions are set to severely damage both Netanyahu's government and Israel itself, while also turning it into the regional threat that everyone else is exhausted by and increasingly seeks to isolate," said Ereli.

Palestinians flee from the north of the Gaza Strip as they cross the Gaza Valley in the central Gaza Strip, on Sunday.

\n

Israel has intensified its destruction of Gaza City and is mulling extending Israeli sovereignty to the West Bank, with the assault on the largest city in the Gaza Strip raising the specter of the forcible displacement of about 1 million Palestinians already trapped in famine in the besieged area.

\n

Tel Aviv's moves come even as efforts continue within the global community for a major push for a two-state solution at the United Nations this month, except for the latest US visa restrictions for Palestinian leaders.

\n

In a post on social media platform X on Monday, Palestine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said the continuation of "genocide and annexation crimes necessitates practical solutions to address the ongoing international failure to stop them".

\n

It said the continued perpetration of massacres by the occupation forces — a reference to Israel — the use of starvation as a weapon in the aggression against the Palestinian people, and Israeli officials' "boasting" of plans for displacement and annexation of the occupied West Bank must compel states, the UN, and the Security Council to evaluate decisions, efforts, working methods and declared positions regarding "halting the crimes of genocide, displacement and annexation".

\n

On Sunday, the Ministerial Committee assigned by the Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit on Gaza urged the United States to "reconsider and reverse" its decision not to grant visas to the Palestinian delegation for the upcoming session of the UN General Assembly. The call came after the US State Department said the previous day that it was "denying and revoking visas" from members of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority ahead of the UNGA.

\n

Early on Monday, Israeli forces tightened their military measures at the Ein Siniya and Atara checkpoints, north of Ramallah, obstructing the movement of citizens at the checkpoints and randomly stopping and searching vehicles, causing severe traffic congestion, Wafa news agency reported.

\n

On Sunday, at least 78 people across the besieged enclave were killed since dawn, including 32 desperately seeking food.

\n

At the start of a government meeting on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the Israel Defense Forces had killed Abu Obeida, the spokesman of Hamas.

Guests attending a welcome banquet exchange ideas during the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Tianjin on Sunday evening.

\n

Chinese President Xi Jinping's emphasis on carrying forward the Shanghai Spirit and advancing cooperation at the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Tianjin will further power the SCO's wheels and help forge a new type of international relations, experts say.

\n

In a keynote speech, Xi hailed the SCO's groundbreaking and historic achievements, highlighting the Shanghai Spirit — a set of guiding principles that emphasizes mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diversity of civilizations, and the pursuit of common development.

\n

Rabi Hamamsah, head of media exposure at Deraya Speakers in the United Arab Emirates, said the spirit has created a unique framework that sets the SCO apart from other international organizations.

\n

"The fact that the SCO has grown into the largest regional organization with 26 countries involved shows that its approach resonates strongly, especially in the Global South," he said.

\n

"More and more countries recognize that peace, stability and development can only be achieved through cooperation and dialogue rather than through confrontation."

\n

Founded in Shanghai in 2001, the SCO has expanded from six members into a big family of 10 members, two observers and 14 dialogue partners spanning Asia, Europe and Africa.

\n

Abdulaziz Alshaabani, a researcher at the Al Riyadh Center for Political and Strategic Studies in Saudi Arabia, said the Shanghai Spirit has served as the cornerstone of the SCO's efficiency and resilience.

\n

"Its emphasis on mutual trust, mutual benefit and respect for diversity makes it especially appealing to the Global South, where countries seek partnerships not based on hegemony but on equality and shared growth," he said.

\n

Xi called on SCO members to stay true to the organization's founding mission and promote its sustained development with greater resolve and more practical measures.

\n

Karori Singh, former director and emeritus fellow at the South Asia Study Centre of the University of Rajasthan, India, said the SCO, now the largest regional organization in Eurasia, was founded 24 years ago on the basis of the Shanghai Spirit. Since then, it has steadily expanded its membership and broadened its areas of cooperation.

\n

President Xi's address reflected a pragmatic approach, outlining the SCO's vision for the next decade, Singh said. He emphasized that the organization is advancing from multilateral dialogue to concrete action aimed at safeguarding regional security, advancing prosperity in Eurasia, and contributing meaningfully to global peace, stability, and the building of a community with shared future for humanity.

\n

Peaceful cooperation

\n

Lawrence Loh, director of the Center for Governance and Sustainability at the National University of Singapore, said the unity demonstrated at the SCO Tianjin Summit signifies fresh hope for a new future of peaceful global cooperation.

\n

"President Xi's momentous call for openness in a multipolar world is both pressing and urgent. The world cannot afford to backpedal in its progress due to any country's self-interest," he said.

\n

Xi also unveiled China's new measures to support the SCO's development and win-win cooperation among members. "We need to better align our development strategies and promote the high-quality implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative," the president said.

\n

Alshaabani said Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the SCO's development concepts converge on diversification, connectivity and sustainable growth. "The Tianjin summit provides a unique chance for Saudi Arabia to deepen cooperation with SCO countries."

\n

Xi said SCO members need to enhance mutual understanding and friendship through people-to-people exchanges and cultivate a garden of civilizations in which all cultures flourish in prosperity and harmony.

\n

Mohammad Ghazal, managing editor of English news at Aletihad News Center in the UAE, said civilizations grow stronger by learning from one another, not by isolating themselves — a principle embodied and advanced by the Shanghai Spirit.

\n

"The history of exchange between China and the Arab world shows how dialogue creates prosperity as cooperation dates back to centuries and this, for example, can inspire others today to embrace diversity and build peaceful coexistence," he said.

\n

As the world is faced with mounting security challenges, geopolitical rivalries and economic uncertainties, Ananda Goonatilleke, president of the Sri Lanka-China Friendship Association, said the Tianjin summit stands as a powerful platform for solidarity.

\n

He also welcomed the discussions between China and India during the summit.

\n

"The understanding that bilateral differences should not overshadow the greater goal of partnership reflects the wisdom of statesmanship and offers hope for broader regional harmony," he said.

From left: Covestro board of management members and employees celebrate the company's 10th anniversary in front of a branded bus at its headquarters in Leverkusen. Employees in China showcase their talents in a singing contest celebrating Covestro's 10th anniversary.

\n

Covestro's regional headquarters in Shanghai.

\n

Since stepping out from the German multinational Bayer in 2015, Covestro has grown into a global leader in high-performance polymer materials, widely recognized for its pioneering role in advancing the circular economy.

\n

Over the past decade, the company has achieved milestones on its journey toward becoming more innovative, sustainable and resilient. Today, Covestro's materials are found in countless applications worldwide — from mobility and construction to electronics, healthcare, and consumer goods.

\n

"For 10 years, our people have proven that breakthrough innovations happen when curious minds meet courageous hearts," said Markus Steilemann, CEO of Covestro. "I'm incredibly proud of our global team. Their passion, creativity, and resilience have formed the foundation of our culture. Thanks to their dedication, we continue to overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and create solutions that make the world a brighter place."

\n

Since 2015, Covestro has invested more than 4 billion euros ($4.66 billion) to expand and modernize its global operations, with a clear focus on sustainable production technologies. A significant milestone was the integration of DSM's Resins & Functional Materials business, which strengthened Covestro's position in sustainable coating solutions and broadened its customer base.

\n

The company has also advanced technologies for renewable-based raw materials, pioneered chemical recycling methods for high-performance plastics, and signed 11 power purchase agreements to significantly increase renewable energy use in its operations. Covestro's commitment to innovation and people has earned it recognition as a top employer repeatedly in multiple regions, including China, where it operates 10 production sites alone.

\n

China, Covestro's largest single market, plays a vital role in this journey. The company and its predecessor have been present in the country for decades, covering a full spectrum of activities from research and development to manufacturing and sales. Covestro, whose vision of becoming fully circular is aligned with China's dual carbon goals, is committed to supporting the country's green transitions, particularly in dynamic markets such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, consumer electronics and construction. China has pledged to peak its carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.

\n

"Covestro has proudly stood as a role model of Sino-German cooperation, combining global innovation with Chinese dynamism to deliver sustainable solutions for tomorrow. Our journey in China would not have been possible without the dedication of our employees, the trust of our customers, and the support of our partners," said Holly Lei, president of Covestro China. "As we mark this milestone, we remain committed to driving the green transformation through collaborative innovation. Together, we look forward to building a more circular and sustainable future."

\n

Guided by its purpose "to make the world a brighter place", Covestro has built a decade of success on a foundation of values. These values — Curious, Courageous and Colorful — have become the cornerstone of the company's approach to innovation and collaboration, driving exploration of groundbreaking solutions, empowering bold decision-making and embracing diverse perspectives that fuel creativity and resilience.

\n

The values also defined its distinctive "We are 1" culture that unites over 17,000 employees across global regions, functions and backgrounds in a shared mission. This collaborative mindset has transformed Covestro from an industry newcomer into a trusted global leader delivering sustainable material solutions that address tomorrow's challenges.

\n

Covestro is marking its 10-year anniversary with celebrations across the globe, showcasing its commitment to employees and communities alike. The anniversary, which fell on Sept 1, has sparked initiatives that blend gratitude with purpose.

\n

In Germany, employees were honored with large-format posters at production sites alongside intimate gatherings. The company partnered with its Works Council to support local food banks, extending its appreciation to communities with a focus on those most in need. A standout symbol of innovation now travels through Leverkusen, home to Covestro's global headquarters: a specially designed Covestro-branded bus featuring the company's own materials, including polycarbonate windows, polyurethane seats and specialized exterior coatings.

\n

Across China and Asia-Pacific, celebrations highlight the human stories behind Covestro's success. A video series captures personal journeys of employees who shaped the company's first decade, while teams create visual "10"and "We are 1" formations in a special photo initiative. The Well Together program encourages employees to run, cycle, and hike, building health, teamwork and inclusion while commemorating this milestone.

\n

North American operations launched the ambitious "10 for 10"volunteering campaign, targeting 10,000 volunteer hours by September 2025. Each recorded hour translates to 10 meals donated to local food banks, with a goal of providing 100,000 meals to neighbors in need.

\n

As Covestro enters its second decade, the company remains committed to driving innovation and shaping a sustainable future. Strategic priorities include achieving full circularity, reaching climate neutrality across operations, accelerating the shift from fossil-based to renewable raw materials, and expanding digital capabilities, including the application of artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency and develop new solutions.

\n

Partnerships will be central to this transformation. The potential partnership with XRG — pending regulatory approval in Europe — offers a significant opportunity to jointly advance innovation, broaden sustainable material solutions and strengthen Covestro's global market position. By working closely across value chains, Covestro aims to deliver next-generation materials that tackle global challenges while supporting sustainable growth.

Shanghai's latest adjustments to home purchase measures triggered a more than 35 percent week-on-week surge in new home transactions, along with a sharp rise in inquiries for pre-owned apartments. Industry experts said on Monday that the response highlights the effectiveness of the new policy and sets the stage for broader market stabilization.

\n

"Following the policy release, visits to some sales offices and brokerage outlets surged, with inquiries doubling, reflecting a boost in market confidence," said Yan Yuejin, research director at the E-House China R&D Institute.

\n

Yan said from the perspective of policy intent and strength, the new measures carry clear positive significance. By easing purchase restrictions and improving housing fund and credit policies, the threshold and cost of buying homes are both lowered, which will effectively stimulate demand.

\n

"The policy has had a clear effect in lifting market sentiment," said Lu Wenxi, an analyst at Centaline Shanghai.

\n

Shanghai's housing market continued its rebound last week, with 113,400 square meters of new homes sold between Aug 25 and 31, up 35.25 percent from the previous week. The rebound in mid to high-end home sales pushed Shanghai's average new home price to 96,901 yuan per square meter last week, up 9.55 percent week-on-week, according to Lu.

\n

Data from Shanghai Lianjia Research Institute showed online activity surged following the new measures. Compared with the previous week, views of pre-owned homes rose 11 percent and new homes 19 percent, while inquiries increased 15 percent for pre-owned and 33 percent for new properties.

\n

"Inquiries at our Jing'an branch surged 20 to 30 percent compared with the period before the new measures were announced," said Huang Ying Chia, a regional manager with Sinyi Realty in Shanghai.

\n

Huang said clients are making decisions at a faster pace.

\n

"One client began looking for an apartment more than a year ago but couldn't decide. Last week, following the new measures, the same client approached us to arrange visits to several flats beyond the Outer Ring Road in Jing'an and Xuhui districts. Another client, who sold a flat in Zhabei district over a week ago, visited three apartments in Jing'an district on Saturday and purchased one of them the same day," Huang added.

\n

To better meet residents' basic and diverse housing needs and to promote the stable and healthy development of the property market, Shanghai rolled out new real estate policy adjustments on Aug 25.

\n

"The housing-friendly measures are helping ease market anxiety. With a range of initiatives, including eased purchase restrictions and improved credit policies, the policies are supportive of both first-time buyers and those upgrading, and their release during the traditional sales season helps stabilize expectations," Lu said.

\n

Under the new policy, all local households and non-local residents who have paid taxes or social insurance in Shanghai for at least one year are now allowed to purchase any number of homes outside the Outer Ring Road. The measures also include easing purchase restrictions, optimizing housing provident fund and credit policies, and adjusting property tax rules.

In the past year, the company achieved a record seven approvals for new products and indications in the country, which contributed to a 10.9 percent year-on-year increase in China market revenue — also marking the highest growth seen in recent years. Revenue from the China market — where it entered 31 years ago — reached roughly $550 million in financial year 2024.

\n

Behind such an achievement has been the company's continued investment and accelerated launch of new therapies in the local market, which is currently the company's fourth-largest market by country, said Atsushi Kitamura, chief financial officer of Astellas.

\n

"Growth in the China market from the first quarter of financial year 2025 leaped to a staggering 57.8 percent, driven by various factors, including a first-in-class anti-claudin 18.2 monoclonal antibody, which is the first and the only CLDN18.2-targeted therapy approved in the world for patients with CLDN18.2 positive, unresectable, advanced or recurrent gastric cancer, which was approved in China in January," Kitamura said in an exclusive interview last Tuesday.

\n

He said that the company has made accelerated investments in China, the world's second-largest pharmaceutical market, in recent years. Major initiatives include upgrading the organizational structure of Astellas China in 2021, establishing the regional headquarters in Beijing, and appointing the first local president in China unit last year.

\n

"Riding such waves for robust development, we are accelerating innovation for our next phase of growth. We have achieved two proofs of concept in the first half of this year, and are on track to hopefully achieve another three within the next 12 months," Kitamura said.

\n

The company, he added, currently has nine compounds under clinical development across its areas of focus: immuno-oncology, blindness and regeneration, genetic regulation, and targeted protein degradation.

\n

Aiming to accelerate the delivery of global innovations to Chinese patients, Astellas has included China as a first-tier region in the global development of new medicines, with early-stage programs launching simultaneously, Kitamura said.

\n

For example, after identifying the unmet medical need that Chinese gastric patients account for more than 40 percent of the global total, the company invited Chinese experts to be the leading principal investigators of the global multicenter clinical trial regarding the CLDN18.2-targeted therapy in 2019.

\n

Zhao Ping, president of Astellas China, said: "This therapy marks the first time that we have achieved global simultaneous development and approval for an Astellas product in China. Finding the right path this time, we can apply the experience to future drugs, enabling China to achieve simultaneous development and approval with the globe."

\n

Astellas kicked off the first global Phase I study for a bispecific immune cell engager targeting certain proteins and molecules in China last year, Zhao said.

\n

A CNOOC drilling platform operates off Huizhou, Guangdong province.

\n

China National Offshore Oil Corp's breakthrough in offshore heavy oil thermal recovery has unlocked access to a vast reserve of previously inaccessible heavy oil, bolstering China's energy security and reducing its reliance on imports, said industry experts.

\n

CNOOC announced on Saturday that its offshore heavy oil thermal recovery solutions — including technology, system and core equipment — have achieved significant progress in large-scale application, with cumulative offshore heavy oil thermal recovery exceeding 5 million metric tons.

\n

This marks China as the first country in the world to achieve large-scale thermal recovery development of offshore heavy oil, said Lin Boqiang, head of the China Institute for Studies in Energy Policy at Xiamen University.

\n

It is a pivotal moment for China's energy landscape and the global oil industry by not only enhancing domestic production capabilities but also positioning CNOOC as a potential exporter of this specialized technology, he said.

\n

Heavy oil is a type of crude oil with high viscosity, high density, poor fluidity and a tendency to solidify, making it difficult to extract.

\n

Compared with onshore oilfields, offshore platform operations have limited space and high costs. The large-scale development of heavy oil thermal recovery faces challenges in terms of technology, equipment and economic benefits, and is recognized by the industry as a world-class problem.

\n

Currently, heavy oil accounts for approximately 70 percent of the world's remaining oil resources and is one of the main directions for increasing production for various oil-producing countries, said CNOOC.

\n

Lin believes CNOOC's breakthrough in offshore heavy oil thermal recovery represents a significant step forward for China's energy sector.

\n

CNOOC's achievement in offshore heavy oil thermal recovery is a strategic win for China's energy security. As global oil demand continues to rise, unlocking previously inaccessible heavy oil reserves becomes increasingly critical, he said.

\n

The company's technological advancements not only enhance its own production capabilities but also position it as a potential exporter of this specialized technology to other nations with significant heavy oil resources, he added.

\n

China is one of the world's four major heavy oil producers, with abundant heavy oil resources. The proven reserves of high-viscosity heavy oil that require thermal injection for development offshore exceed 600 million tons, accounting for approximately 20 percent of China's proven heavy oil reserves, indicating great development potential.

\n

Continuously promoting the conversion of heavy oil reserves into production is of great significance for increasing domestic oil and gas exploration and development efforts, said CNOOC.

\n

This year, heavy oil thermal recovery production has exceeded 1.3 million tons and annual production is expected to jump to 2 million tons, it said.

\n

CNOOC is actively involved in heavy oil production, notably with its new Kenli 10-2 oilfield project, the first lithological oilfield with a proven in-place volume of 100 million tons discovered in the shallow depression zone of the Bohai Bay Basin, which commenced heavy crude production in July.

\n

This project, equipped with over 240 sets of key equipment, utilizes both conventional and thermal recovery techniques to produce the viscous, high-density oil.

\n

As one of the most complex production platforms in the Bohai region and the first large-scale thermal recovery platform for heavy oil in the southern Bohai Sea, it is expected to achieve a peak production of about 19,400 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2026, said CNOOC.

\n

The main production facilities include a new central platform and two wellhead platforms, which leverage the adjacent existing facilities for development, it said.

\n

CNOOC has been stepping up efforts to boost China's domestic heavy oil production and has the distinction of leading in large-scale offshore heavy oil thermal recovery technology.

\n

The successful commencement of production of this project marks a new stage in the development of complicated heavy oil reservoirs offshore China, CNOOC said.

\n

"It will strongly support the company's Bohai oilfield to achieve the annual gross production target of 40 million tons, contributing to the company's high-quality development through high-level operations."

A domestic helper at Home King, a household service platform, cleans a jacket inside a company workshop in Xiamen, Fujian province, on Aug 24.

\n

Home King, a Xiamen-based home services platform, has seen rapid growth in its sales revenue, fueled by growing demand for household services, especially from young consumers.

\n

The company said it plans to further expand its market share at home and abroad.

\n

While high-quality housekeeping services have helped build up its reputation, the online platform has expanded beyond just cleaning.

\n

Home King is developing new offerings such as at-home pet bathing and annual subscription plans for home repairs, said its founder and CEO Li Bin.

\n

The company has launched services in 65 domestic cities. Besides rising demand from young Chinese consumers, it also has many foreign customers, especially in Shanghai.

\n

"We have seen a growing demand for household services from Chinese consumers. Young people have indicated an increasingly strong awareness for hiring domestic helpers to help them with household chores," Li said.

\n

Yuan Xili, a domestic service helper, has been working for more than 10 years at Home King in Xiamen. Yuan, whose salary is about 10,000 yuan ($1,400) a month, said she is satisfied with the stable income source.

\n

"Some new employees have been learning with me as apprentices, and they were born in the 1990s or after the year 2000. In the past few years, demand has been growing, as many young people tend to hire domestic helpers instead of doing the cleaning work themselves," Yuan said.

\n

Xiamen has been encouraging household service enterprises to expand into emerging service areas, further enrich the supply of products and services, and better meet consumers' personalized and quality-oriented demands. Besides Home King, the city is home to a number of household service companies, such as Ujoy and Haobangni.

\n

From 2022 to 2024, the compound annual growth rate of Xiamen's household service sector's gross merchandise volume reached 2,032 percent, which is more than double the average growth rate of the 15 sub-provincial cities in China, according to the local government of Xiamen.

\n

Meanwhile, the central government has reiterated the need to effectively unleash potential in domestic demand, encourage goods consumption and foster new growth drivers of service consumption.

\n

The Ministry of Commerce is also set to introduce new policies in September to help promote service consumption, leveraging fiscal and financial tools to enhance service supply capacity and stimulate new growth momentum.

\n

"Currently, the main challenge in China's service consumption lies in the insufficient supply of high-quality services," said Sheng Qiuping, vice-minister of commerce, during a recent news conference in Beijing.

\n

The ministry said it will help expand the pilot opening-up of fields such as telecommunications, medical care and education, and include more service consumption-related fields in the catalog of encouraging foreign investment.

\n

Besides, the ministry will help promote the reform and innovation of the service sector by stimulating the vitality of various business entities and expanding the supply of diversified services such as healthcare, elderly care, childcare and household services, thus better meeting consumer demand.

\n

"It's very good that the government will continue to help boost the growth of services consumption. Hiring household service helpers has increasingly become a necessity for many residents, instead of a luxury," Li of Home King said.

\n

Meanwhile, Home King has continued to expand its presence overseas. The company has established a branch in the Philippines, and it plans to further expand in US cities such as New York.

\n

In the Philippines, it has hired more than 60 local employees, and mainly provides services to local Chinese consumers.

\n

In the first half of this year, China's total import and export value of services reached 3.9 trillion yuan, up 8 percent year-on-year, a record high, according to the Ministry of Commerce.

A scene from the dance drama Cavalry, by the Inner Mongolia Art Theatre.

\n

Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, will become a vibrant stage for the 19th China Theatre Festival from Friday to Sept 25. The festival is a grand cultural event organized by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the China Theatre Association.

\n

This year's event aims to showcase the rich diversity of China's theater landscape, bringing together a stunning array of performances from across the nation.

\n

Founded in 1988, the festival has become a cornerstone of Chinese theatrical culture, fostering talent, encouraging creation, and promoting excellence in drama.

\n

Held every two years, it has grown into one of the most prestigious platforms for both established and emerging artists to showcase their work. This year, the festival will present 42 theatrical productions out of 73 selected from across China, spanning 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities.

\n

The performances will encompass a diverse range of genres, including traditional Chinese opera, modern drama, ballet and opera. Puppetry will also be included in the festival for the first time.

\n

According to the organizers, what sets this edition apart is the festival's focus on striking a balance between tradition and innovation. One of the key highlights is the celebration of the spirit of "10 years to perfect a play", which encourages the long-term development and refinement of works.

\n

Productions for the festival include the Peking Opera Qi Baishi by the Jingju Theater Company of Beijing, which follows the life story of art master Qi Baishi (1864-1957), one of the country's most celebrated artists; and the dance drama Cavalry, by the Inner Mongolia Art Theatre, which tells the story of a young man who grows from a village student into a courageous hero of the cavalry during wartime in the 1940s. Both productions have evolved over the years, winning national accolades, and are ready to return to the stage with further refinements.

\n

The festival's organizing committee notes that this edition of the festival will highlight traditional Chinese operas, including Qinqiang Opera, Cantonese Opera, and Kunqu Opera. These productions are adapted from well-known folk legends, which are grounded in the country's cultural heritage and aim to offer both nostalgic value and artistic depth.

\n

While preserving tradition, the event will also showcase technological innovation in Chinese theatrical productions. Productions such as The Great National Craftsmen and Two Capitals, Fifteen Days integrate multimedia elements to enhance their storytelling.

\n

The festival also features experimental productions, such as Star Returning, a collaborative work by artists from home and abroad, which honors Yi ethnic culture and breaks geographical and cultural barriers to offer a cross-regional perspective on stage.

\n

In addition to live performances, the festival will feature renowned performers and winners of top Chinese theater awards, including China's Plum Blossom Award and Wenhua Award. These celebrated artists will be joined by emerging talents, making for a dynamic blend of seasoned expertise and youthful energy.

\n

The festival's commitment to nurturing new talent is also reflected in its training programs, which aim to cultivate the next generation of theater talent.

Cultural tourism promoters receive their certification from the digital platform Cloudverse at the launch ceremony in Beijing on Aug 22.

\n

With a light tap on the screen, the 55-kilometer-long Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge shimmers to life; waves from the Three Gorges Dam in Hubei province crash toward the viewer; a lunar rocket lifts off, inviting the audience into the vastness of space.

\n

These immersive experiences were made possible through 20 augmented reality digital art pieces themed around China's national megaprojects, unveiled on Aug 22 in Beijing.

\n

The Exploitation of the Works of Nature digital art and cultural tourism launch ceremony was hosted by Cloudverse, a digital cultural tourism platform, and organized by xinhuanet, Xinhua News Agency's website.

\n

It showcased how cutting-edge technologies, such as AR interactive displays, blockchain-based certification, and digital art auctions, are breathing new life into traditional art and cultural heritage.

\n

"Under the Digital China strategic vision, the deep integration of digital art, cultural tourism, and artificial intelligence is already reshaping our world," says Tan Yuping, chairman of the supervisory board from xinhuanet, in his opening address at the launch ceremony.

\n

"From digital conservation to immersive experiences, technology is redefining how we engage with culture and history," Tan adds.

\n

The artworks are based on the original heavy-color landscape paintings by artist Li Heng, who incorporates modern engineering elements, ranging from bridges and high-speed railways to space missions, into classical Chinese aesthetic traditions.

\n

Through AR, what were once static images now unfold dynamically, allowing the audience not only to see but also to experience the grandeur of the country's most ambitious projects.

\n

"The Cloudverse digital cultural tourism platform has given my traditional paintings new wings with high technology," Li says.

\n

"This marks not only a new chapter in artistic exploration but also opens the door to the era of digital art."

\n

In addition to the exhibition, Cloudverse announced two major initiatives in collaboration with Li. One is an AR digital art campus tour that will bring the augmented artworks to 50 universities nationwide. The other is a cultural tourism study tour that will organize visits to real-world megaprojects, such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and high-speed rail hubs.

\n

The study program will combine physical travel with digital art appreciation, offering participants a multilayered understanding of both the technological and cultural significance of these developments, according to the organizers.

\n

"These grand projects are not just symbols of national strength. They also carry the dreams of rejuvenation that have inspired Chinese people for generations," Tan notes.

\n

The event emphasized a growing trend in China's cultural tourism sector — the use of digital technology to create more interactive, educational, and emotionally resonating experiences.

\n

By merging engineering marvels with artistic expression, the project offers a new model for how nations may reimagine cultural communication in the digital age.

\n

Chen Ruijun, former discipline inspection secretary of China State Decoration Group, a contributor to national infrastructure projects, emphasizes that such initiatives represent not only technological innovation but also the contemporary embodiment of China's enduring craftsmanship and cultural spirit.

\n

"From the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to the Qinghai-Xizang Railway, these projects reflect both engineering excellence and a profound sense of shared human progress," Chen states.

\n

"What we are witnessing today is a continuation of that spirit — using digital tools to bring cultural heritage to life and make it accessible to all," he says.

\n

By integrating monumental national achievements with dynamic digital expression, platforms like Cloudverse ensure that China's historical legacy and modern accomplishments are not only preserved but also reimagined for global audiences, he explains.

\n

To ignite public enthusiasm for creative expression and expand the global influence of the digital cultural tourism system, the Discover Beautiful China — Cloudverse Global Tourism Promoter Recruitment Competition was officially launched.

\n

The competition is open to all creators with the ability to produce cultural content. Participants are encouraged to explore and share regional cultural stories under the main theme of "Beautiful China", using diverse formats such as short videos, livestreams, graphic content, and AR scripts.

\n

Cloudverse will use an intelligent matching algorithm to provide outstanding works with resources, such as traffic support and commercial collaboration opportunities.

\n

Award-winning creators will receive official certification and be included in the tourism promoter talent pool, gaining priority access to promotional projects commissioned by the government and enterprises.

Chen Ruijun, former discipline inspection secretary of China State Decoration Group, a contributor to national infrastructure projects, emphasizes that such initiatives represent not only technological innovation but also the contemporary embodiment of China's enduring craftsmanship and cultural spirit.

\n

"From the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to the Qinghai-Xizang Railway, these projects reflect both engineering excellence and a profound sense of shared human progress," Chen states.

\n

"What we are witnessing today is a continuation of that spirit — using digital tools to bring cultural heritage to life and make it accessible to all," he says.

\n

By integrating monumental national achievements with dynamic digital expression, platforms like Cloudverse ensure that China's historical legacy and modern accomplishments are not only preserved but also reimagined for global audiences, he explains.

\n

To ignite public enthusiasm for creative expression and expand the global influence of the digital cultural tourism system, the Discover Beautiful China — Cloudverse Global Tourism Promoter Recruitment Competition was officially launched.

\n

The competition is open to all creators with the ability to produce cultural content. Participants are encouraged to explore and share regional cultural stories under the main theme of "Beautiful China", using diverse formats such as short videos, livestreams, graphic content, and AR scripts.

\n

Cloudverse will use an intelligent matching algorithm to provide outstanding works with resources, such as traffic support and commercial collaboration opportunities.

\n

Award-winning creators will receive official certification and be included in the tourism promoter talent pool, gaining priority access to promotional projects commissioned by the government and enterprises.

Alexander Isak

\n

Liverpool has agreed a deal to sign Swedish striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United on a long-term contract for a British record fee of around 130 million pounds ($175 million), Sky Sports News and The Athletic reported on Sunday.

\n

The Athletic reported that Isak would undergo a medical on Monday before completing a six-year deal with the Merseyside club. Protracted negotiations over the deal have dominated the Premier League transfer window, which closed on Monday, with a Liverpool bid of 110 million pounds for the 25-year-old rejected earlier in August.

\n

Neither Liverpool nor Newcastle immediately responded to requests for comments outside normal business hours early on Monday morning.

\n

Isak scored 23 league goals last season to guide Newcastle back to the Champions League with a fifth-placed finish, as well as also scoring in the League Cup final against Liverpool to give the Magpies their first domestic trophy in 70 years.

\n

He did not join Newcastle on its preseason tour and was forced to train separately in a tense standoff with the club.

\n

Isak, however, accused Newcastle of breaking promises and misleading supporters in a statement that confirmed he wanted to leave the club, saying that change was in the "best interests of everyone".

\n

At 25, Isak is entering the peak of his career. His ability to stretch defenses, link play and score a variety of goals makes him a natural fit for Liverpool's high-intensity style.

\n

Beyond the tactical fit, this signing sends a message: Arne Slot's Liverpool is not content with last year's title, it's after more big trophies.

\n

Few transfers in recent years have captured attention like this one, with Reds fans already buzzing online about Isak's Premier League record at Newcastle, hoping he can deliver instantly. If Isak adapts quickly to Anfield's expectations, Liverpool could have secured a world-class striker for the next six years.

\n

On Saturday, Newcastle signed German striker Nick Woltemade for a club record fee reported to be worth up to 69 million pounds, a move regarded to have paved the way for Isak's departure.

Top seed Shi Yuqi is overcome with emotion after winning his maiden world championships' men's singles title in Paris on Sunday.

\n

Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning win the women's doubles crown.

\n

Injured Chen Yufei waves to the crowd after losing in the women's singles final.

\n

\n\n

Men's singles star Shi Yuqi's triumphant Paris return headlines Team China's medal-laden worlds campaign, as the celebrated squad vows to keep sharpening its young blades for the LA28 challenge.

\n

With six medals — including two golds — packed in the luggage home and its players reaching finals in all five events, Team China could've left the French capital bragging about an overall success at the BWF World Championships, yet it opted to focus on the losses over the gains, as it pushes ahead with its ambition to restore its Olympic dominance at the Los Angeles Games.

\n

Shi's career-first singles world title, secured by a comeback 2-1 win over his bitter rival Kunlavut Vitidsarn of Thailand on Sunday, helped China reclaim the men's crown 10 years after retired legend Chen Long won China's last in 2015. It was double delight for fans, adding to the gold medal won by women's pair Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning on the same night.

\n

Some unexpected early exits of seeded contenders in Paris, though, raised concerns over the lack of consistency and poise among the team's potential medal hopefuls for the next Olympics.

\n

The crushing second-round loss of world No 1 mixed doubles team Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping, China's highest-ranked women's singles ace Wang Zhiyi's third-round exit and underachieving men's world No 4 Li Shifeng's opening-round defeat were among disappointments that have given Chinese Badminton Association president Zhang Jun mixed feelings.

\n

"It was an overall impressive collective effort, but we did suffer some unexpected setbacks here and there," Zhang said in his post-final assessment of Team China's performance.

\n

"Some of our players didn't deliver the levels they are supposed to compete at, especially the mixed doubles pair, due to big-game nerves and issues with their preparations.

\n

"I don't worry about the depth we have, though. We just need to re-evaluate our performances thoroughly and focus on how to keep our veterans fresh, while also nurturing our youngsters, in the buildup to the Los Angeles Olympic Games."

\n

Paris redemption

\n

Always a superior competitor for his country at team championships, such as the Sudirman Cup and Thomas Cup, Shi's finally backed up his individual world No 1 status by claiming his maiden singles world title — and doing so, literally, with a vengeance.

\n

The 29-year-old overcame fatigue, having battled his way to the final with a trio of three-game matches, and bitter memories from a year ago to dethrone reigning world champion Vitidsarn, who beat Shi in the quarterfinals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, in a gripping 19-21, 21-10, 21-18 win.

\n

As the shuttlecock from a Vitidsarn return touched down on the wrong side of the line to concede the final point, Shi sank to his knees in tears. The emotion of completing the redemption arc from his runner-up finish at the 2018 worlds and avenging his Olympics loss to the same opponent at the same venue came pouring out onto the court.

\n

"People always considered me a better player at team events. But, in individual competitions, I also always gave my utmost effort," Shi said during a mixed-zone interview after the final.

\n

"This time, finally securing my first individual world championships title makes me so delighted, not necessarily having to prove anything to anyone. I just feel so relieved."

\n

Once labeled by critics as a "big-time choker" for his collapse under pressure at previous high-stakes events, Shi broke his worlds hoodoo the hard way, saving two match points in his semifinal win over Canada's rising star Victor Lai, followed by an earlier, hard-fought third-round comeback win over Frenchman Christo Popov.

\n

"I fought six matches in this tournament, each one incredibly tough. Many were matches I nearly lost, but managed to turn around. So, clinching it in the end felt incredibly rewarding," said Shi, who dictated play in the decider with his pinpoint smashes from deep to crack Vitidsarn's defense.

\n

Shi's victory on Sunday put a Chinese name back on the men's singles honor roll, after the country had dominated the event by racking up eight straight wins from 2006-15 at the worlds, spearheaded by the legendary Lin "Super" Dan's five titles.

\n

Standing 1.84 meters tall with long limbs and a quick footwork, Shi wields power, variety and finesse in his shots, and has been compared to the all-time greats, such as Lin and Chen, as the next leader of China's men since his international debut a decade ago.

\n

A spell of misfortunes, including a serious left ankle injury in 2019 and two more on his right ankle and elbow, which required multiple surgeries to get him back in shape, took a heavy toll on his progression, mentally and physically.

\n

Now, with the world title coming at a perfect time, CBA head Zhang expects greater things will come, continuing to pay back Shi's unremitting effort.

\n

"Shi's been carrying a lot of weight and doubt all the way, even though he's done extremely well for us at all the team events," said Zhang. "Now that he's realized his dream (of winning an individual world title), I feel so happy for him, and I think we are yet to see his best."

\n

Earlier in the women's final, Japan's fifth seed Akane Yamaguchi took just 37 minutes to beat China's injured former world No 1 Chen Yufei 21-9, 21-13 to add a third singles world title to her golds from 2021 and 2022.

\n

Chen, women's singles champion at Tokyo 2020, battled past top seed and reigning champion An Se-young of South Korea in a semifinal win marred by a nasty-looking ankle twist early in the second game.

\n

In the final, Chen appeared hampered in her movement and Yamaguchi took full advantage to close out a comfortable straight-games victory.

\n

"Since last night I've been undergoing treatment. Before taking to the podium just now (to receive her medal), I'd already taken eight painkillers," said Chen.

\n

Malaysian fourth seeds Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei claimed a dominant 21-15, 21-14 victory over second-seeded Chinese pair Jiang Zhenbang and Wei Yaxin in the mixed doubles final. The men's doubles crown went to Korean top seeds Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae after their 21-17, 21-12 victory over China's Chen Boyang and Liu Yi.

President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan pose with international guests for a group photo in Tianjin on Sunday, before a welcoming banquet held for the dignitaries attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit 2025.

\n

President Xi Jinping said on Sunday that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is shouldering greater responsibilities for safeguarding regional peace and stability, and for boosting common development at a time when the world faces mounting uncertainty and unpredictability.

\n

Xi made the remarks as he and his wife, Peng Liyuan, hosted a banquet in the port city of Tianjin to welcome international guests attending the SCO Summit 2025.

\n

Known since ancient times as a gateway to Beijing, Tianjin has long been recognized for its openness and inclusiveness, and it has been a pioneer in China's reform and opening-up.

\n

"In recent years, Tianjin has implemented the national strategy of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development, and written its new and dynamic chapter in advancing Chinese modernization. We believe that as the host of this summit, Tianjin will give fresh impetus to the sustainable development of our organization," Xi told the guests.

\n

Founded in Shanghai in 2001, the SCO has expanded from a six-member regional organization into a trans-regional organization with 10 full members, two observer countries and 14 dialogue partners, representing nearly half of the world's population and a quarter of the global economy.

\n

Xi said that since its inception, the SCO has upheld the "Shanghai Spirit", with the core values of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diversity and pursuit of common development.

\n

The organization has consolidated unity and mutual trust, deepened practical cooperation, and participated in international and regional affairs, Xi said.

\n

As a result, the SCO has grown into a significant force in promoting a new type of international relations and building a community with a shared future for humanity, he added.

\n

"At present, the century-defining transformation is accelerating across the world, with a marked increase in factors of instability, uncertainty, and unpredictability. The SCO thus bears an even greater responsibility for maintaining regional peace and stability and promoting the development and prosperity of all countries," Xi said.

\n

He emphasized that this year's summit in Tianjin carries the important mission of building consensus, injecting new impetus into cooperation and charting a blueprint for future growth.

\n

According to the schedule, member states are expected to adopt key documents, including the organization's development strategy for the next decade, during the summit.

\n

Xi is also expected to unveil China's new measures and actions to support the SCO's high-quality development and all-around cooperation, while outlining pathways for the organization to contribute constructively to safeguarding the post-World War II international order and enhancing the global governance system.

\n

"I am confident that with the collective efforts of all parties, this summit will be a complete success and the SCO will play an even greater role, achieve greater development, and make greater contribution to strengthening solidarity and cooperation among the member states, pooling the strength of the Global South, and promoting the cause of human advancement," he said.

\n

In his toast, Xi cited a Chinese saying that "in a race of a hundred boats, those who row the hardest will lead".

\n

"Let us uphold the 'Shanghai Spirit' and set out from Tianjin on a new voyage filled with hope toward an even brighter future!" he said.

The curtain was raised on Sunday in the northern port city of Tianjin for the largest-ever summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a key gathering that has brought together leaders of more than 20 countries and 10 international organizations to consolidate consensus on cooperation and promote a much closer SCO community with a shared future.

\n

President Xi Jinping will chair the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO, as well as the "SCO Plus" Meeting, delivering keynote speeches with a focus on deepening cooperation within the organization and strengthening its role in global governance.

\n

Founded in Shanghai in 2001, the SCO has adhered to the "Shanghai Spirit" — a set of principles centered on mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diversity of civilizations and pursuit of common development.

\n

President Xi has attended every SCO summit since taking office, putting forward key initiatives and promoting joint efforts that have kept the "Shanghai Spirit" vibrant.

\n

Chairing the SCO summit for the first time in Qingdao, Shandong province, in June 2018, Xi reviewed the organization's development and achievements and emphasized that the "Shanghai Spirit" serves as a shared asset for all member states.

\n

"The 'Shanghai Spirit', transcending outdated concepts such as the clash of civilizations, Cold War mentality and zero-sum mindset, has opened a new chapter in international relations, and won growing recognition from the global community," Xi said.

\n

At each SCO summit since 2013, Xi has underscored the profound relevance of the "Shanghai Spirit "while continually enriching and expanding its meaning.

\n

Guided by this philosophy, the SCO has pioneered a new model of regional cooperation that brings together nations with diverse social systems and development paths.

\n

This partnership advocates nonalignment, nonconfrontation and not targeting any third party, offering a model for a new type of international relations based on mutual respect, fairness, justice and win-win cooperation.

\n

Owing to the practice of these principles, the SCO has been growing steadily, exuding robust vitality. What began in 2001 with six member states — China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan — has since expanded to include India, Pakistan, Iran and Belarus.

\n

Comprising these 10 member states, two observer states and 14 From page 1 dialogue partners spanning Asia, Europe and Africa, the SCO boasts a 26-nation "big family". It is now the world's largest regional international organization in terms of both geographical area and population.

\n

"The increasing number of countries seeking to join the SCO family reflects the broad appeal of its principles and strong confidence in its future," Xi said.

\n

He emphasized that as the organization continues to grow, it stands ready to collaborate with all progressive forces around the world in contributing to global peace, promoting international development and upholding the international order.

\n

Deepening practical cooperation

\n

The SCO was established initially to address shared security challenges. Over time, it has remained steadfast in its commitment to fostering a peaceful and stable environment that supports the development of all its member states.

\n

Since assuming the SCO rotating presidency last July, China has facilitated several key events, including meetings of the SCO Council of the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure, and of leading officials of border defense authorities, and a joint anti-terrorism exercise.

\n

Just over a month ago, the SCO Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs convened in Tianjin, where member states agreed to accelerate the establishment of four security centers dedicated to addressing issues including security threats and challenges, and drug offenses.

\n

Guided by Xi and leaders of other SCO member states, practical cooperation among SCO countries in economic domains has intensified. The alignment of the Belt and Road Initiative and development strategies of various sides has been accelerated, exemplified by projects such as the China-Belarus Industrial Park and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, alongside cooperation in emerging fields such as cross-border e-commerce, artificial intelligence and big data.

\n

Expanded cooperation in various areas has yielded tangible results. Official statistics show that trade between China and other SCO countries reached a record $890 billion in 2024.

\n

Xi has also consistently championed cultural and educational exchanges within the SCO. In Kazakhstan, Chinese experts are collaborating with local archaeologists for the preservation of the ancient site of Rahat. In Egypt, engineering students at Ain Shams University are gaining practical experience through training at a Luban Workshop.

\n

Additional initiatives — such as vocational skills competitions, snow football matches and youth camps — have further strengthened people-to-people bonds across the region.

\n

Building community with shared future for humanity

\n

Xi has made use of the SCO events as a platform to call for fairness and justice in global affairs.

\n

"We firmly oppose hegemonic, high-handed and bullying acts, and promote a more equal and balanced multipolar world," Xi told foreign ministers and heads of permanent bodies of the SCO in Beijing in July.

\n

He opposed the notion that acting from a so-called position of strength is the way to handle international affairs, rejected moves that undermine the international order and stoke confrontation and division under the pretext of "rules", and advocated equal rights, equal opportunities and fair rules for all.

\n

A series of outcome documents of the SCO summit in Astana last year echoed Xi's vision, calling for solidarity, cooperation and justice rather than division, confrontation and hegemonism.

\n

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, as well as of the founding of the United Nations. Yet, the world today is confronted with unilateralism, bullying and the resurgence of power politics.

\n

In view of this critical juncture, Xi has on multiple occasions underscored China's commitment to promoting the correct historical perspective on World War II, deepening coordination within multilateral frameworks, such as the UN and SCO, and jointly safeguarding international fairness and justice.

\n

This reflects the shared aspiration of the SCO member states, spelled out in an April statement voicing support for an open world economy and a World Trade Organization-centered multilateral trading system, a clear rebuke to unilateral tariffs and protectionism.

\n

Sharing a natural bond with the Global South, whose collective rise has become an undeniable trend, the SCO is increasingly seen as an indispensable force in the global governance system.

\n

Given the current global landscape marked by rapid and irreversible changes, the proactive stance of the SCO in international affairs is unquestionably highly sought after, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the Astana summit last year.

\n

At the same event, Xi called for the SCO to contribute toward eliminating what he described as the world's deficits in peace, development, security and governance.

\n

Chairing the SCO summit for the first time in Qingdao, Shandong province, in June 2018, Xi reviewed the organization's development and achievements and emphasized that the "Shanghai Spirit" serves as a shared asset for all member states.

\n

"The 'Shanghai Spirit', transcending outdated concepts such as the clash of civilizations, Cold War mentality and zero-sum mindset, has opened a new chapter in international relations, and won growing recognition from the global community," Xi said.

\n

At each SCO summit since 2013, Xi has underscored the profound relevance of the "Shanghai Spirit "while continually enriching and expanding its meaning.

\n

Guided by this philosophy, the SCO has pioneered a new model of regional cooperation that brings together nations with diverse social systems and development paths.

\n

This partnership advocates nonalignment, nonconfrontation and not targeting any third party, offering a model for a new type of international relations based on mutual respect, fairness, justice and win-win cooperation.

\n

Owing to the practice of these principles, the SCO has been growing steadily, exuding robust vitality. What began in 2001 with six member states — China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan — has since expanded to include India, Pakistan, Iran and Belarus.

\n

Comprising these 10 member states, two observer states and 14 From page 1 dialogue partners spanning Asia, Europe and Africa, the SCO boasts a 26-nation "big family". It is now the world's largest regional international organization in terms of both geographical area and population.

\n

"The increasing number of countries seeking to join the SCO family reflects the broad appeal of its principles and strong confidence in its future," Xi said.

\n

He emphasized that as the organization continues to grow, it stands ready to collaborate with all progressive forces around the world in contributing to global peace, promoting international development and upholding the international order.

\n

Deepening practical cooperation

\n

The SCO was established initially to address shared security challenges. Over time, it has remained steadfast in its commitment to fostering a peaceful and stable environment that supports the development of all its member states.

\n

Since assuming the SCO rotating presidency last July, China has facilitated several key events, including meetings of the SCO Council of the Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure, and of leading officials of border defense authorities, and a joint anti-terrorism exercise.

\n

Just over a month ago, the SCO Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs convened in Tianjin, where member states agreed to accelerate the establishment of four security centers dedicated to addressing issues including security threats and challenges, and drug offenses.

\n

Guided by Xi and leaders of other SCO member states, practical cooperation among SCO countries in economic domains has intensified. The alignment of the Belt and Road Initiative and development strategies of various sides has been accelerated, exemplified by projects such as the China-Belarus Industrial Park and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, alongside cooperation in emerging fields such as cross-border e-commerce, artificial intelligence and big data.

\n

Expanded cooperation in various areas has yielded tangible results. Official statistics show that trade between China and other SCO countries reached a record $890 billion in 2024.

\n

Xi has also consistently championed cultural and educational exchanges within the SCO. In Kazakhstan, Chinese experts are collaborating with local archaeologists for the preservation of the ancient site of Rahat. In Egypt, engineering students at Ain Shams University are gaining practical experience through training at a Luban Workshop.

\n

Additional initiatives — such as vocational skills competitions, snow football matches and youth camps — have further strengthened people-to-people bonds across the region.

\n

Building community with shared future for humanity

\n

Xi has made use of the SCO events as a platform to call for fairness and justice in global affairs.

\n

"We firmly oppose hegemonic, high-handed and bullying acts, and promote a more equal and balanced multipolar world," Xi told foreign ministers and heads of permanent bodies of the SCO in Beijing in July.

\n

He opposed the notion that acting from a so-called position of strength is the way to handle international affairs, rejected moves that undermine the international order and stoke confrontation and division under the pretext of "rules", and advocated equal rights, equal opportunities and fair rules for all.

\n

A series of outcome documents of the SCO summit in Astana last year echoed Xi's vision, calling for solidarity, cooperation and justice rather than division, confrontation and hegemonism.

\n

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, as well as of the founding of the United Nations. Yet, the world today is confronted with unilateralism, bullying and the resurgence of power politics.

\n

In view of this critical juncture, Xi has on multiple occasions underscored China's commitment to promoting the correct historical perspective on World War II, deepening coordination within multilateral frameworks, such as the UN and SCO, and jointly safeguarding international fairness and justice.

\n

This reflects the shared aspiration of the SCO member states, spelled out in an April statement voicing support for an open world economy and a World Trade Organization-centered multilateral trading system, a clear rebuke to unilateral tariffs and protectionism.

\n

Sharing a natural bond with the Global South, whose collective rise has become an undeniable trend, the SCO is increasingly seen as an indispensable force in the global governance system.

\n

Given the current global landscape marked by rapid and irreversible changes, the proactive stance of the SCO in international affairs is unquestionably highly sought after, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the Astana summit last year.

\n

At the same event, Xi called for the SCO to contribute toward eliminating what he described as the world's deficits in peace, development, security and governance.

\n

The China International Import Expo, the country's first national-level trade fair focused on imports, continues to serve as a significant platform for international trade and cooperation. Held annually in Shanghai, the expo attracts global participation, with member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization playing a prominent role.

\n

Established on June 15, 2001, in Shanghai, the SCO is a permanent intergovernmental organization. As the rotating chair of the SCO for 2024-25, China is hosting the SCO summit in Tianjin, North China, from Sunday to Monday.

\n

Uzbekistan, a member of the SCO, has participated in the CIIE for six consecutive years, serving as a guest country of honor at both the second and seventh editions. Farhod Arziev, the ambassador of Uzbekistan to China, noted that being a guest country of honor highlights the close cooperation and friendship between the two countries, signifying deepening bilateral trade and economic relations.

\n

"Today, Uzbekistan and China cooperate in many areas. The leaders of our two countries have elevated our relations to an all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership, opening new horizons in our bilateral cooperation, including in trade and investment," he said.

\n

"Currently, China is Uzbekistan's largest trading partner. Our target is to increase the volume of our mutual trade to $20 billion in the near future. Uzbekistan's participation in such trade exhibitions and fairs in China contributes to the growth of trade turnover between our countries and provides new opportunities for various investment projects."

\n

Ravshan Nazarov, a senior researcher at the Institute of State and Law of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, said: "The CIIE is an important platform for showcasing innovative products and promoting international cooperation." He praised China's commitment to openness and cooperation, fostering a more open and equitable global business environment.

\n

Russia, another SCO member, has participated in the CIIE for seven years, being a guest country of honor in the first two editions. In a written interview with Russian news agency Interfax in May, Chinese ambassador to Russia, Zhang Hanhui, highlighted the resilience of Sino-Russian relations. "Sino-Russian relations have withstood the challenges of shifting global dynamics, emerging as a steadfast anchor in today's turbulent world. Our political trust has reached new heights, economic cooperation is expanding, and cultural exchanges are thriving," Zhang noted.

\n

He expressed China's willingness to enhance communication and cooperation with Russia, focusing on traditional trade areas such as energy, agricultural produce, and mechanical and electrical products, while exploring new growth points in green development, the digital economy and artificial intelligence.

\n

"China continues to encourage enterprises from both countries to participate in the CIIE and other major exhibitions and forums to deepen cooperation and ensure steady progress in bilateral trade," Zhang added.

\n

SCO member state Pakistan was a guest country of honor at the inaugural CIIE. During an April meeting with Murtaza Wahab, the mayor of Karachi, Pakistan, Gong Zheng, the mayor of Shanghai, highlighted the longstanding friendship between the two cities, which have been sister cities for more than 40 years. "Shanghai and Karachi have engaged in extensive practical cooperation, playing a positive role in the development of bilateral relations between the two countries," Gong said.

\n

He expressed hope for further cooperation in trade, investment, urban governance, culture and tourism. "We warmly welcome enterprises from our sister cities to participate in this year's CIIE, fostering increased mutual investment, enhancing exchanges in urban governance, encouraging more people to travel to each other's cities, and deepening the friendship and understanding between us."

\n

Wahab echoed these sentiments, comparing the friendship between the Chinese and Pakistani people to the Himalayas and the Indian Ocean. He pointed out that Karachi is Pakistan's economic, industrial and financial center, and there is significant potential for cooperation with Shanghai.

\n

He also expressed interest in learning from Shanghai's development model and strengthening ties in clean energy, water resource management, waste utilization and cultural exchange.

\n

Kazakhstan, a member of the SCO, has been a participant in the CIIE for six years, serving as a guest country of honor in the second and sixth editions. During a meeting with Sultan Gaziev, governor of the Almaty Region of Kazakhstan, in May, Gong emphasized that China and Kazakhstan are close neighbors sharing a common destiny. "As China's largest economic center, Shanghai is actively promoting high-level opening-up, and Almaty is a key agricultural and trade center in Kazakhstan and a crucial hub along the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road," Gong said.

\n

Highlighting the popularity of Kazakh agricultural products in China, Gong said: "We warmly welcome more enterprises from Kazakhstan and the Almaty Region to participate in the CIIE to showcase more unique products and services, and we look forward to enhancing economic cooperation and industrial investment to achieve more win-win results.

\n

"Moreover, taking advantage of the mutual visa exemption between China and Kazakhstan and Kazakhstan's 2025 Year of China Tourism, we aim to encourage more people to travel to each other's countries, enjoy the scenery and cuisine, and strengthen our friendship," he added.

\n

Gaziev said China's rapid economic development serves as a model for Kazakhstan to learn from. "Almaty is currently constructing a special economic zone, which is developing rapidly, with significant potential for cooperation in photovoltaic power generation and logistics. We welcome Shanghai enterprises to invest and develop in Almaty, and further strengthen cooperation in trade, finance, logistics, new energy, tourism and other fields."

\n

At the seventh CIIE, Kazakhstan sent its largest delegation ever to the expo, with exhibits spanning agricultural products, food and beverages, handicrafts and more.

\n

According to Serik Korzhumbayev, the editor-in-chief of Delovoy Kazakhstan, more than 20 enterprises from Kazakhstan participate in the CIIE annually.

\n

China's high-level opening-up benefits both the world and itself, and the spillover effects of the CIIE are continuously strengthening, attracting more and more returning participants, said Korzhumbayev.

\n

India, a SCO member, was a guest country of honor at the second CIIE. In a written interview with The Times of India, Chinese ambassador to the country, Xu Feihong, emphasized the opportunities available in China's vast market. "In fiscal year 2024, Indian products such as chili peppers, iron ore and cotton yarn saw significant export growth to China, surging by over 17 percent, 160 percent and 240 percent," Xu noted. He encouraged Indian enterprises to leverage platforms like the CIIE to connect with Chinese buyers and explore the potential for economic collaboration.

\n

At the seventh CIIE, Iran, a member of the SCO, established a national pavilion spanning 132 square meters and a commercial pavilion covering 1,440 sq m. In a signed article published on April 25 in Iran's English-language newspaper Tehran Times, Chinese ambassador to the country, Cong Peiwu, said the CIIE is becoming bigger and better, offering new opportunities for the world with China's new development.

\n

"At present, human society needs international cooperation and sharing more than ever before to solve development problems. Multilateralism is the only choice for addressing global challenges, and economic globalization is an unstoppable trend of history," he said.

\n

"Having the world's second-largest consumer market and largest middle-income group, China offers great potential for investment and consumption. Iran is an important member of the SCO family, and China is willing to deepen cooperation with Iran within the SCO framework," he added, while welcoming Iranian companies to participate in the eighth CIIE in November.

\n

The CIIE's effect extends beyond immediate trade deals. A Turkmenistan-based non-alcoholic beverage producer planned to establish its first Chinese branch in Huangpu district, Shanghai, following successful interactions at the expo. This move represents not just an investment project but also the integration of Central Asian enterprises into the Chinese market.

\n

The eighth CIIE will showcase innovative products from well-established companies and brands. It aims to provide more opportunities for enterprises from SCO member states and beyond, promising to deliver mutual benefits and strengthen ties across borders.

Dai Houliang (right), chairman of CNPC, meets H.E. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, CEO of ADNOC.

\n

When the United Arab Emirates became the first Gulf country to establish a strategic partnership with China in 2012, China National Petroleum Corp, or CNPC, and Abu Dhabi National Oil Co, also known as ADNOC, have continuously expanded their cooperation, jointly building a more comprehensive energy cooperation framework.

\n

In 2013, with the launch of the Belt and Road Initiative, China and the UAE found a high degree of alignment in energy interconnection and market integration. That year, CNPC and ADNOC signed the Al Yasat project agreement, making the Chinese company a partner of strategic energy assets in Abu Dhabi.

\n

In 2017, the two sides inked another cooperation deal for the onshore oil concession, with CNPC appointed as the asset leader for the North-East Bab fields, significantly enhancing their strategic collaboration.

\n

Following the elevation of China-UAE bilateral relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2018, CNPC and ADNOC signed agreements that year to cooperate on the Umm Shaif& Nasr and Lower Zakum offshore fields. This established a cooperation framework in the UAE spanning both onshore and offshore operations and integrating the entire exploration and development industry chain.

\n

In May 2024, the governments of China and the UAE issued a joint statement which includes strengthened cooperation in renewable energy, oil, and natural gas. Two months later, CNPC and ADNOC signed a strategic cooperation agreement covering the entire oil and gas industry chain, including exploration, research, technology exchange, engineering services, refining and petrochemicals, market sales, international gas project cooperation, and new energy collaboration, thereby deepening their strategic alignment.

\n

Adhering to the principle of mutual benefit, CNPC leverages its complementary strengths with ADNOC to continuously advance practical cooperation in upstream exploration and development, engineering construction, technical services, oil and gas trade, and scientific research.

\n

In onshore oilfield development, CNPC utilizes its technological advantages in low-permeability carbonate reservoirs to help boost production and reduce costs in the North-East Bab fields.

\n

In technological innovation, the two companies have sustained collaboration in cutting-edge areas such as reservoir simulation, drilling acceleration, and smart oilfields. Among them, the "Broadband, Wide-Azimuth, High-Density" seismic exploration technology provides technical support for ADNOC's efforts in increasing production of mature oil fields and developing new resources.

\n

In engineering construction, the ongoing BAB-Buhasa AiP5 off-plot project, LNG Transmission Pipeline Project, and Project Swing are helping ADNOC substantially increase capacity and operational efficiency, while promoting local project execution capabilities through the introduction of international engineering management models.

\n

In oilfield services, CNPC has contributed to reducing ADNOC's development costs through its high-quality and efficient drilling services.

\n

In the equipment sector, hybrid drilling rigs manufactured by CNPC reduce fuel consumption and emissions, and improve drilling efficiency through intelligent remote monitoring and dispatching. In oil and gas trade, CNPC participates in the trade of crude oil, natural gas, refined oil and chemicals, and is the sole Chinese shareholder in the Abu Dhabi Futures Exchange.

\n

In talent development, ADNOC representatives visit China to gain insights into CNPC's technical and management expertise, while CNPC senior managers engage with ADNOC's core business units, facilitating business cooperation. At the same time, CNPC supports the UAE's Emiratization policy by promoting the recruitment and cultivation of local talent.

\n

In social responsibility, CNPC promotes the Hundred Schools Project of Chinese language education in the UAE, continuously fostering cultural exchange and mutual understanding. Meanwhile, project teams explore green development pathways in energy exploration and development. In 2024, PetroChina joined the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter launched at COP28 hosted by the UAE.

\n

Looking ahead, CNPC will continue to uphold open cooperation and innovation-driven development, and work together with ADNOC to build a greener, more inclusive, and sustainable multidimensional China-UAE energy cooperation framework.

Türkiye's unique geographic position — connecting Europe, Asia and the Middle East — has established the country as the "nexus of the world". Its strategic location, coupled with a dynamic economy, makes Türkiye a natural partner for China in advancing mutually beneficial cooperation.

\n

Over the decades, Türkiye-China relations have evolved into a comprehensive strategic partnership spanning trade, investment, technology, and infrastructure.

\n

Strong foundation

\n

China is Türkiye's largest source of imports and a key trading partner. Data from the Turkish Statistical Institute show that their bilateral trade volume reached $48.3 billion in 2024, reflecting mutual development.

\n

The countries' economic complementarity is evident: China supplies machinery, electronics, and industrial inputs, while Türkiye offers food products, chemicals, and manufactured goods.

\n

This partnership is reinforced by an alignment between the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative and Türkiye's Middle Corridor strategy, creating a seamless east-west route that enhances global supply chains.

\n

Business cooperation

\n

According to official data from Türkiye, China has invested approximately $1.2 billion in Türkiye since 2002, while Turkish companies have invested more than $300 million in China. Today, more than 1,400 Chinese companies operate in Türkiye across diverse sectors.

\n

Energy and the automotive industry stand out as strategic cooperation areas, reflecting Türkiye's established role as a key supplier to global value chains. Major battery plant projects, including partnerships with Togg, Türkiye's domestic electric vehicle manufacturer, represent landmark investments boosting the country's EV ecosystem and integrating advanced battery technology into European and regional markets.

\n

These are complemented by significant EV manufacturing facilities serving both domestic and European markets, alongside local production plans to meet rising regional demand.

\n

Notable Chinese investments span multiple sectors: major research and development centers in Istanbul, driving innovations in AI, cloud, and 5G technologies; manufacturing plants for household appliances, reinforcing Türkiye's role as a global white goods exporter; strategic acquisitions in e-commerce platforms, transforming Türkiye's digital commerce landscape; and key investments in logistics and finance, including port facilities and banking operations.

\n

These investments generate economic value while fostering technology transfer, employment, and sustainable growth, positioning Türkiye as the nexus of the world for Chinese enterprises seeking global expansion.

\n

Key sectors

\n

Infrastructure, energy, and technology stand out as priority cooperation areas. Chinese companies have invested in major power projects, renewable energy facilities, and transport hubs in Türkiye.

\n

At the same time, Turkish enterprises are exploring opportunities in China's fast-growing consumer and industrial markets.

\n

The synergy between the Middle Corridor and BRI creates unparalleled opportunities in logistics, enabling Türkiye to serve as a hub for goods flowing between Asia, Europe and Africa. This is matched by collaboration in emerging industries such as green energy, fintech, and smart cities.

\n

As both nations pursue sustainable and innovation-driven growth, the scope for cooperation will continue to expand. Türkiye's competitive advantages — strategic location, skilled workforce and diversified economy — align with China's vision of high-quality, outward-looking development.

\n

Looking ahead, Türkiye-China relations are poised to deepen, anchored by shared commitments to connectivity, technological advancement, and economic resilience.

\n

At the nexus of the world, Türkiye stands ready to work with China to shape a more integrated, prosperous, and sustainable future for both nations and the broader region.

China has released its fourth list of newly designated memorial facilities and historical sites to commemorate victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), while also honoring the contributions of overseas Chinese and international anti-fascist forces, officials said on Sunday.

\n

On Friday, authorities released the list of 34 national-level memorial facilities and sites dedicated to the war, along with the fourth batch of 43 renowned heroes, martyrs and heroic groups.

\n

Senior officials from the Ministry of Veterans Affairs and the National Cultural Heritage Administration introduced the lists and provided updates on restoration and protection efforts at a news conference on Sunday morning.

\n

The latest designations underscore the Communist Party of China's pivotal role in leading the resistance against Japanese forces and reflect how Chinese people fought alongside international antifascist forces. They also honor sacrifices made on the battlefield and pay tribute to the contributions of overseas Chinese, according to Ma Feixiong, vice-minister of veterans affairs.

\n

Among the sites included are a memorial park in Shandan county, Gansu province, dedicated to New Zealand-born writer Rewi Alley and British journalist George Aylwin Hogg — both of whom supported China during the war — as well as the Red Army East Expedition Memorial Hall in Shilou county, Shanxi province.

\n

Four of the newly designated national-level memorial facilities and sites are located outside the Chinese mainland, in countries such as the Philippines and Myanmar. One example is a monument in Myitkyina, northern Myanmar, dedicated to soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force who fell in battle during World War II.

\n

Such memorial facilities, officials said, testify to the unity of compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as overseas Chinese, who joined the fight against the Japanese invasion under the banner of the national united front.

\n

China has established more than 100 overseas memorial facilities and sites related to the war — including more than 30 in countries such as Myanmar, India, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Russia, and more than 80 in Hong Kong and Macao.

\n

From 2014 to 2020, China released three previous batches of lists, recognizing a total of 260 national-level memorial facilities and sites and 1,085 heroes, martyrs and heroic groups.

\n

Sun Deli, deputy administrator of the National Cultural Heritage Administration, highlighted the role of such sites in patriotic education, noting that more than 500 themed exhibitions on the war are held annually across the country, attracting more than 60 million visitors. Ninety-six memorial sites and facilities have been designated as national demonstration bases for patriotic education.

\n

From July to September, about 1,000 themed exhibitions were launched nationwide to strengthen the educational and inspirational role of cultural relics from the war.

\n

In September, a special exhibition themed International Friends and China's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression opened alongside a permanent exhibition dedicated to the Flying Tigers, volunteer pilots from the United States who supported China. Additional events such as forums, touring speeches and storytelling competitions are also planned.

\n

China has more than 10,000 immovable cultural relics and more than 500,000 movable relics related to the war, Sun said. He called them invaluable and irreplaceable pieces of heritage, stressing the importance of preservation.

\n

More than 3,000 conservation projects have been completed nationwide, covering site restoration, exhibition upgrades and environmental improvements. Hazards at major sites have been addressed, and the overall condition of cultural relics has improved, according to Sun.

\n

China is overhauling its pricing law after nearly three decades, a critical revision aimed at curbing cutthroat price wars, algorithm discrimination and other unfair market practices in the world's second-largest economy.

\n

The draft amendment to the pricing law has been jointly drawn up by the National Development and Reform Commission, the nation's top economic regulator, and the State Administration for Market Regulation, the nation's top market regulator.

\n

The move marks the first revision since the law was enacted in 1998 and placed on the legislative agenda of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress in 2003. The current draft amendment was released for public comment late in July.

\n

The 27-year-old law's rewrite comes as China confronts a phenomenon increasingly lamented by economists and business executives alike — cutthroat competition, where firms spiral into destructive internal competition, often slashing prices below cost to gain market share.

\n

Guo Liyan, deputy director of the Economic Research Institute at the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research, said: "The amendment sends a clear signal that maintaining fair market competition is nonnegotiable.

\n

"Selling below cost is a malignant form of involution. When it spreads, it erodes profit margins, drives more firms into losses and makes it harder to stabilize production or create jobs. It even hurts household income growth, particularly for low- and middle-income earners."

\n

At the heart of the amendment are tougher and clearer rules on predatory pricing. The current law, experts said, applies only to goods and to sellers.

\n

The revision, in particular, would broaden its reach to cover services and extend liability to third parties such as online platforms that set pricing rules.

\n

The revised Article 14, for instance, seeks to ban operators from selling goods or services below cost for the purpose of "crowding out competitors or monopolizing the market", unless there are legitimate reasons such as clearance of perishable, seasonal or overstocked items. It also specifies that platforms cannot force other operators to price below cost.

\n

Han Wei, an associate professor at the Law School of the University of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said, "The wording distills the essence of predatory pricing into two elements: the means, which is below-cost pricing, and the purpose, which is exclusion or monopoly."

\n

Han added that including services and platforms into the amended law closes regulatory gaps. "It's especially important for sectors like food delivery, ride-hailing or online retailing, where platforms sometimes compel merchants to follow their rules, forcing them into loss-making price battles."

\n

China is strengthening oversight of what it describes as involution-style competition, or cutthroat competition, and is aiming to foster a market that rewards quality and innovation while promoting healthier, more sustainable industrial development.

\n

The 2025 Government Work Report released in March vowed to take comprehensive steps to address intense competition or cutthroat competition.

\n

The focus was cemented at a meeting of the Central Commission for Financial and Economic Affairs on July 1, where policymakers pledged to tackle disorderly low-price competition, guide enterprises to improve product quality, and facilitate the orderly exit of outdated production capacities.

\n

Notably, the latest amendment also ventures into algorithmic pricing, data abuse and technology-enabled price manipulation, all of which are new problems emerging amid the development of the country's booming digital economy.

\n

The proposed law reflects a transformed landscape. When the pricing law was first enacted, many goods and services were still led by people. Today, prices are largely market-driven and new business models emerge constantly, from livestream shopping to instant delivery.

\n

Market regulators are facing problems unheard of a generation ago: flash sales triggered by algorithms, services unbundled to hide costs, and industries suffering self-inflicted price wars.

\n

Liu Wuxing, director of the NDRC's price monitoring center, said that pricing work is facing clear changes, where most prices are now determined by the market. New industries, new models, and new formats are emerging, and low-price disorderly competition has become more prominent, Liu said.

\n

The amendment adds a provision that operators "must not use data, algorithms, technology or rules to engage in unfair pricing behavior".

\n

Meng Yanbei, professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, said that as business and profit models continue to change in the digital economy, laws must evolve to address unfair practices.

\n

"This amendment is a direct response to phenomena like algorithmic discrimination and big data backstabbing, where loyal customers end up paying more because platforms know their habits."

\n

The draft also clarifies rules on collusion, price gouging and discrimination, and forbids public utilities, industry associations and others from abusing influence to force sales, bundle products or charge unreasonable fees.

\n

Penalties are set to rise, including stiffer fines for failing to display prices clearly or refusing to provide truthful cost data during inspections.

\n

Su Haopeng, a professor at the University of International Business and Economics and director of its consumer protection law research center, said the amendment is "in time".

\n

"Digital tools have amplified both the reach and the opacity of pricing strategies. When platforms tweak algorithms or segment users, they can create unfair advantages that harm both competitors and consumers. The law now makes clear these practices will be subject to scrutiny."

\n

The draft amendment is not happening in vacuum. It is part of a broad modernization of China's market regulation framework, working in concert with recent revisions to the anti-monopoly law and the anti-unfair competition law.

\n

These laws already prohibit dominant firms from predatory pricing or forcing merchants into "either-or" choices.

\n

Han from CASS said that governance of disorderly competition needs synergy.

\n

"Each law tackles a different piece of the puzzle, but together they form a comprehensive oversight system. This will help rein in the worst forms of cutthroat competition," he said.

\n

Officials also want enforcement to have teeth. The draft this time raises the cost for violations, making fines more substantial and spelling out liability for those who obstruct investigations.

\n

It refines government pricing powers, allowing authorities to set pricing mechanisms rather than just fix prices and requiring cost reviews and public consultation before decisions.

\n

Guo, from the CAMR, said these changes have a strategic dimension. "In a world of uncertainty, strengthening rules for fair, lawful price competition helps make China's unified national market more attractive, both internally and externally. It's not just about disciplining firms; it's about supporting high-quality growth."

\n

Industry experts said that unrestrained competition could undermine profitability across sectors, discouraging investment and innovation. In industries such as manufacturing, logistics or consumer services, price dumping can spread losses and shrink payrolls.

\n

In the new energy vehicle sector, for instance, manufacturers have been engaged in relentless price undercutting in an effort to prop up sales, resulting in declining profitability and stoking concerns about deteriorating quality.

\n

In early 2025, over 60 car models slashed prices in China. Industry-wide net margins fell to 4.3 percent last year, according to the China Automobile Dealers Association.

\n

Guo warned of wider consequences. "When profits erode, firms cannot sustain operations or expand hiring. In major public-interest sectors or when serious market failures occur, the government has to step in with stronger legal tools to correct the course."

\n

The amendment thus positions price regulation as a foundation for the "high-quality development" China champions, a concept that ties economic efficiency to fairness and innovation.

\n

For consumers, the law could mean more transparent and predictable pricing, fewer bait-and-switch tactics and stronger protections in the online world. For businesses, it signals not only a tougher stance on reckless competition, but also clearer rules of engagement, Guo said.

\n

Ultimately, the 27-year-old law's rewrite is more than a necessity.

\n

As Guo put it: "The market today is bigger, faster and more complex. Without updated rules, competition can become chaos. This amendment is about steering that energy into productive, sustainable growth."

President Xi Jinping met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Tianjin. This meeting, building on their successful dialogue in Kazan in 2024, represents an important moment for China-India relations, and comes at a significant time.

\n

Coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and India, it presents a key opportunity for the two neighbors to shape their relations by forging a partnership embodying the SCO's spirit of mutual trust, equality and common development.

\n

In the meeting, President Xi emphasized the importance of the two neighbors' viewing their relationship through a strategic and long-term lens. Identifying China and India as partners rather than adversaries, he highlighted a vision of a "cooperative pas de deux of the dragon and the elephant" — advocating deeper trust, expanded cooperation and peaceful coexistence that benefit both nations and the Global South.

\n

This perspective aligns with the SCO's mission to foster inclusive and equitable partnerships that prioritize development and stability over zero-sum competition.

\n

With 10 member states and a growing network of observer states and dialogue partners, the SCO covers about half of the world's population and over 25 percent of global GDP. The SCO Summit provides an ideal platform to foster dialogue that transcends differences and focus on shared goals.

\n

Central to Xi's remarks was the need for strategic communication to build trust. This is particularly crucial given the complex global landscape, marked by economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions. By recognizing each other as development opportunities rather than threats, China and India can anchor their relationship in a framework of mutual respect.

\n

As key players in the Global South, China and India can work together to promote unity and progress among developing countries.

\n

Since both countries are at a critical stage in their development, and with their economies helping to drive global growth, it was natural that economic cooperation should emerge as a cornerstone of the Tianjin discussions.

\n

President Xi called for expanding mutually beneficial cooperation, emphasizing that development is the greatest common denominator between the two nations.

\n

Regarding the border question, Xi advocated a pragmatic approach that prioritizes peace and prevents disputes from overshadowing the broader relationship. In this respect, he said that the principles of peaceful coexistence, championed by the older generation of Chinese and Indian leaders over 70 years ago, remain a guiding light.

\n

By managing differences constructively, both nations can ensure that bilateral ties remain resilient, even in the face of challenges. That Modi expressed India's willingness to seek a fair and mutually acceptable resolution to the border issue is a welcome sign that India shares the desire to maintain stability.

\n

As advocates of strategic autonomy, China and India are well-positioned to champion multilateralism and defend international fairness. Their cooperation within the SCO and other global frameworks can amplify the voice of the Global South, promoting a more democratic international order. Modi highlighted this by affirming that India's relations with China are not subject to third-party interference and that, acting together, the two countries can add strength to global multilateralism.

\n

The meeting between the Chinese and Indian leaders therefore sends a powerful message: collaboration, not confrontation, is the path to a shared future. Solidarity and close coordination are also the watchwords of the SCO, whose summit in Tianjin, under China's chairmanship, exemplifies the organization's role as a platform for inclusive dialogue.

\n

Its non-alignment approach, rooted in the "Shanghai Spirit", offers a model for multilateral engagement that contrasts with divisive blocs. The summit, as well as the "SCO Plus" meeting, prioritizes inclusivity and reflects the SCO's commitment to broadening global engagement.

\n

By prioritizing "bridges over walls", as the SCO ethos encourages, China and India can demonstrate that cooperation between major countries can drive progress for all. The summit in Tianjin is not just a new boost for bilateral relations but a testament to the power of collective action in building a more inclusive and prosperous world.

Editor's Note: In the first half of the year, China's GDP grew by 5.3 percent year-on-year. What is the current macroeconomic situation, how will policies proceed in the second half of the year, what challenges do the current deep-seated reforms face and which reforms should be prioritized during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30)? Yin Yanlin, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, spoke to Jiemian News on these issues. Below are excerpts from the interview. The views don't necessarily represent those of China Daily.

\n

The external environment has become increasingly complex and severe today. China's economy faces multiple difficulties and challenges, and there is considerable downward pressure. To achieve the annual economic and social development goals, macroeconomic policies must be strengthened in the second half of the year. Incremental reserve policies should be promptly introduced to counter the uncertainties of the international economic cycle.

\n

The government should implement more proactive fiscal policies and moderately easy monetary policies. It should accelerate the issuance of government bonds, but keep ample liquidity and take steps to lower the comprehensive social financing costs. More proactive fiscal policies could be introduced at an appropriate time by launching a new round of "large-scale" investment plans.

\n

Apart from these steps, the authorities should also stimulate the consumption potential by implementing policies for upgrading equipment and encourage trade-in consumption programs by removing restrictive measures to accelerate new growth points.

\n

It is necessary to provide interest subsidies to personal consumption loans and to business loans for the service industry, strengthen inter-departmental coordination, simplify procedures and ensure the swift implementation of these policies.

\n

It is important to intensify efforts to expand effective investment, implement major national strategies and build up security capacities in key areas with high quality. The restrictions on investment in key projects should be further relaxed.

\n

Consumption can be boosted by stabilizing the real estate market. Greater emphasis should be placed on halting the decline and on promoting the renovation of urban villages and dilapidated housing. In addition, it is necessary to address the risks in key areas, promoting the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation, deepening reform and opening-up, and ensuring people's livelihoods.

\n

Several economic reforms are required during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30). First, reforms of State-owned enterprises will help deepen their innovation efforts, optimize the State-owned economy and make resource allocation more efficient. As for the private sector, it is necessary to better protect property rights, more effectively implement the Private Economy Promotion Law and more strongly safeguard the enthusiasm of private players to develop and stabilize the market expectations.

\n

Second, it is essential to break down local protectionism and market fragmentation, standardize local investment promotion practices, and improve the fiscal, taxation and statistical accounting systems to make them conducive to a unified market.

\n

Third, the issues of excessive government intervention and inadequate regulation also need to be addressed. The authorities should further streamline administration to delegate power, deepen reforms of the administrative approval system and minimize government interference in micro-level affairs.

\n

Fourth, in response to global changes and competition, some domestic rules should be adjusted in accordance with the requirements of high-standard economic and trade agreements. By ensuring institutional opening-up, China can enhance the resilience of its industry and supply chains, and advance further in global competition.

A CIFTIS logo is seen in front of a building at Shougang Park ahead of the opening of the fair.

\n

The 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services is poised to enhance China's global service trade by offering a platform for international collaboration, sharing development opportunities and fostering global economic growth.

\n

This year's CIFTIS will leverage cutting-edge technology to showcase new applications, solutions and products originating from Beijing. By showcasing integrated solutions, comprehensive service systems and innovative offerings, the event aims to establish the "Beijing Services" brand. Starting with the promotion of "Beijing Services", the fair is to gradually extend to promoting "China Services", positioning CIFTIS as the hub for showcasing and procuring Beijing's services.

\n

CIFTIS 2025 is to feature nine themed exhibitions centered around smart technology, integrating tech elements with display content and application scenarios. The telecommunications, computer and information services exhibition is to spotlight advanced industries, with dedicated areas for telecom services, digital technology and intelligent manufacturing. The exhibition layout follows a "2+5+N" structure: two special exhibitions on digital services and 5G connectivity, five forums on topics including digital economy and artificial intelligence, and a wide range of industry salons and international discussions.

\n

The financial services exhibition is to focus on technology and intelligence, introducing AI-driven products and solutions. Highlights include a themed exhibition centered around global intelligence, along with a special exhibition on financial support for private enterprises in Beijing.

\n

One innovation is the CUBe Card, jointly launched by Bank of China, China Unicom and Beijing Municipal Administration & Communication Card. The card offers digital renminbi payment, communication services and travel services for international visitors.

\n

The cultural and tourism services exhibition is to display the latest achievements in the cultural industry, emphasizing technology-driven cultural innovations and international cultural exchanges.

\n

Beijing Tourism Group's event support services represent an innovation in cross-regional collaboration. During the ninth Asian Winter Games, the company provided transportation for heads of state and media workers, as well as catering, accommodation and expert advisory services for the Yabuli competition zone in Harbin, Heilongjiang province.

\n

The education services exhibition is to feature AI in education and international collaboration, with a forum on AI's role in reshaping education.

\n

Beijing Zhipu Huazhang Technology is to present innovations like the AI Space Station and AI Eyecare Companion. These tools are used in three key scenarios: during breaks, in class and after school. They support two main service loops: from AI experience to interactive creation, and from mental health support to crisis intervention. These services are now implemented in 94 schools nationwide, with more than 9,000 minutes of weekly device usage.

\n

In sports services, the latest in technology-driven sports facilities, outdoor and ice sports, and competitions are to be showcased, creating an immersive "sports plus technology plus consumption" experience. The Beijing National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest, is to highlight its model for post-event venue management, promoting effective resource and brand management.

\n

The supply chain and business services exhibition is to feature global retail giant Walmart and professional services leader KPMG for the first time. Walmart is to showcase its growth story in Beijing, health products and smart supply chain innovations, while KPMG is to offer insights into the environmental, social and governance framework, digital transformation, and consumer trends.

\n

Finally, the engineering consulting and construction services exhibition is to focus on the life cycle of "quality housing". It is to feature areas dedicated to standards, design, construction, materials, services and outdoor showcases. Environmental services are to highlight advancements in energy systems, pollution control and green technology. Meanwhile, health services are to continue under the "Global Services, Shared Health" theme, covering medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and AI in healthcare.

\n

Beijing-based Xiyuan Hospital of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences has offered training in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 3,000 medical professionals from across five continents over the past 15 years.

\n

The courses cover techniques in TCM, specialized therapies and modern hospital management. The training formats include lectures by experts, clinical learning and online training to cater to the individual needs of participants from different countries.

Visitors take pictures of models displayed at Mercedes-Benz's booth at the Chengdu Motor Show on Aug 29.

\n

Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan province, has a way of making the unexpected feel natural: pandas, sizzling hotpot, and high-tech cars all converge as the city's annual motor show is underway from Aug 29 to Sept 7.

\n

Unlike the tense, media-focused atmosphere of Beijing or Shanghai auto shows, the Chengdu Motor Show has carved out its own identity: a citywide celebration where serious automotive technology meets playful local culture.

\n

Even the most serious journalists often skip hotel buffets to enjoy hotpot, proving that cars and local culture mix effortlessly here.

\n

Walking through the exhibition, the first impression is one of accessibility and fun.

\n

At MG's booth, attendees could pick up a set of mahjong tiles, a nod to Chengdu's iconic pastime.

\n

Across the halls, brands from FAW Toyota to 212 handed out roses on the opening day, which coincided with China's Qixi Festival, adding a romantic seasonal touch.

\n

Voyah's booth highlights its collaboration with Peppa Pig, the famous British animated television series.

\n

Another Chinese startup, Avatr, features China's latest cartoon movie Nobody, a modern interpretation based on one of China's top four classic novels Journey to the West.

\n

Inside the very exhibition center, visitors can get a panda toy from the on-site panda post office, a perfect keepsake from a city that proves you can enjoy cutting-edge cars and cultural fun in equal measure.

\n

But the show does not stop there. Even for serious tech enthusiasts, Chengdu offers plenty of surprises.

\n

Around 120 Chinese and overseas car brands are participating this year, covering 220,000 square meters of exhibition space, according to Liu Guoliang, president of Hannover Milano Fairs Shanghai, one of the organizers.

\n

Some of the luxury brands, including Bentley and Lamborghini, are absent, but overseas premium and volume brands are making their marks.

\n

Mercedes-Benz is showcasing the AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ convertible and the all-electric CLA; FAW-Audi is presenting 27 models including the PPE-based Q6L e-tron; and Ford is wooing visitors with its first smart electric off-road SUV, the Bronco EV.

\n

However, domestic brands take center stage, as NEVs are becoming mainstream: advanced battery systems, smart driver-assistance features, and luxury interiors rivaling global competitors signal a new era for Chinese automotive engineering.

\n

BYD dominates Hall 9 with its full lineup: Dynasty, Ocean, Denza, Fangchengbao, and premium Yangwang models. At the entrance to the hall is a wall decorated with over 35,000 patents, showcasing the automaker's dedication to NEVs.

\n

A walk from Mercedes-Benz to the Nio booth says it all: Nio's space is packed, while Mercedes' area looks comparatively quiet.

\n

"You can really see how Chinese electric and hybrid brands are maturing, both in technology and appeal," noted one industry analyst.

\n

Chengdu's motor show is not limited to the venue, with excitement spilling throughout the city.

\n

The pre-show week was already bustling with events around the city.

\n

Huawei-backed Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance gathered its five sub-brands days before the show.

\n

Volvo launched the XC70, a model it is betting on to defend its shrinking market share, and Great Wall Motors unveiled the Tank 500 with its Hi4-Z hybrid system at Dujiang Weir, the oldest extant irrigation system in China or even the world.

\n

The place was chosen for the event because Great Wall Motors wants to explain how its engine powers electricity generation while driving — delivering strong acceleration, high efficiency, and a fuel-saving edge simultaneously, much like how Dujiang Weir tames floods while ensuring the irrigation of the Chengdu Plain.

\n

"The show has evolved beyond a platform for new product launches, becoming both a symbol of urban culture and a key consumption driver for the region," Liu said.

\n

Last year, attendees placed over 33,000 orders during the event, with a combined transaction volume of 5.8 billion yuan ($80.8 million).

\n

From January to July this year, the city achieved 90.73 billion yuan in car retail sales, up 3.2 percent year-on-year, with 327,000 new car registrations.

\n

"Chengdu and the wider Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle are among the most dynamic car markets in China," Liu added.

\n

Liu was not exaggerating. Among other things, Volkswagen's largest showroom for its expensive Phaeton was in Chengdu, before production ended in 2016.

\n

The German group is now eyeing new collaboration with the city. On Thursday, Volkswagen, FAW Group and the Chengdu Economic and Technological Development Zone inked a deal to advance the electrification of its Jetta brand.

\n

According to the announcement, leveraging the long-term layout of its Chengdu production base, the Jetta brand will establish a new company.

\n

The new company will fully integrate Jetta's existing resources and attract local investment to further leverage regional industrial synergies and accelerate market responsiveness.

\n

Under the plan, by 2030, the new Jetta company aims to build a 100-billion-yuan-level industrial value chain covering R&D, production, supply, and sales.

\n

This initiative will deepen the integration of the Jetta brand into Sichuan province's and Southwest China's automotive ecosystem, consolidating its position as a leading player in the region's automotive industry.

\n

For general visitors, though, there are more practical considerations. To energize buyers, the municipal government has launched "purchase subsidies", offering trade-in support of up to 20,000 yuan per vehicle.

Leapmotor B10s set sail for Europe on Aug 25.

\n

Chinese automakers have moved beyond simple product exports and entered a new phase of industry chain globalization, including localized production and ecosystem services.

\n

A train loaded with components from FAW Group departed from Changchun, Jilin province, for Europe last week, marking the automaker's first direct China-Europe Railway Express service. The train, carrying components for FAW's Hongqi, Jiefang and Bestune brands, will travel 7,900 kilometers, passing through Manzhouli Port before continuing on to Europe.

\n

FAW has adopted a multimodal transport solution that integrates rail and sea freight with overseas warehousing, which reduces logistics costs and enhances the resilience of its supply chain.

\n

Chinese new energy vehicle startup Leapmotor announced that its global model, the B10 SUV, set sail for Europe last week. The model will debut in Europe at the IAA Mobility in Munich, Germany, on Sept 8, with deliveries beginning simultaneously.

\n

To meet diverse market demands, Leapmotor designed the B10 to international standards from the beginning of research and development. The vehicle complies with regulatory requirements across 53 countries and regions, with adaptations for different markets.

\n

It has also undergone millions of kilometers of testing in extreme environments across 200 cities in 18 countries throughout Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia.

\n

Priced at 29,900 euros ($34,890) in Europe and equipped with a cockpit chip and a lidar-based advanced driver-assistance system, Leapmotor's international partner Stellantis expects the B10 to be "one of the most competitive electric SUVs in its class" at this price.

\n

According to reports from Chinese media on Thursday, Leapmotor has selected Stellantis' Zaragoza plant in Spain as its manufacturing base in Europe. With 43 years of auto manufacturing experience and an annual production capacity of 300,000 vehicles, the Zaragoza facility will begin producing Leapmotor's B-series models after retooling, starting with the B10 in the third quarter of 2026, followed by the B05 compact.

\n

BYD has also made moves toward localized production in overseas markets recently. China's largest NEV maker launched the new Seal sedan in Malaysia on Aug 22 and announced that it would establish an assembly plant in the country, which is expected to begin operation in 2026.

\n

Just four days later, BYD Thailand announced that it had exported more than 900 NEVs manufactured at its Thai factory to Europe for the first time, including shipments to the United Kingdom, Germany, and Belgium.

\n

BYD's Thai plant, which was put into operation in July 2024, covers the entire production process including stamping, painting, welding, and assembly, with annual production of 150,000 units. Such an approach helps effectively circumvent trade barriers and reduce logistics costs.

\n

Chinese automakers are also exploring deeper localization in market services. SAIC Motor launched its first overseas joint experience center for its Wuling and MG brands in Jakarta, Indonesia, last week. The center is operated by ZHC Aladin International, an automotive sales company with Chinese investment.

\n

The center will offer Indonesian consumers a seamless experience throughout their vehicles' life cycle. Plans include expanding services to used car sales, maintenance, rentals, the import-export of vehicles and parts, and launching customer service centers, customized modifications, and livestreaming facilities, according to company CEO Shao Junkan.

\n

According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, China exported 3.68 million vehicles in the first seven months of 2025, up 12.8 percent year-on-year. Among them, NEV exports reached 1.31 million units, jumping 84.6 percent year-on-year.

\n

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi praised Chinese EVs as "unbelievable" for their advanced features, affordability, and rapid innovation, fueled by integrated supply chains, government support, and massive scale.

\n

Speaking on a podcast, Khosrowshahi said China is not just building EVs, it is innovating across the entire EV ecosystem — from battery technology to charging infrastructure and software.

Top officials of Yemen's Houthi group have vowed retaliation as it confirmed on Saturday that Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi of the Houthi-backed government, along with several other ministers, was killed in Israeli strikes on Thursday.

\n

The attack in Sanaa was the first to kill most senior Houthi officials. It came four days after Israeli strikes on the capital on Aug 24 killed 10 people and wounded more than 90, according to Houthi health officials.

\n

In a statement carried by Saba News Agency, the group acknowledged that the officials were hit during a workshop reviewing government activities over the past year, and that several other ministers were wounded and remain in hospital. It did not say how many ministers were killed.

\n

Quoting unnamed sources, Israeli media reported on Friday that the Israeli army attacked the entire Houthi Cabinet, including the prime minister and 12 other ministers.

\n

Meanwhile, Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported that the group's deputy prime minister, Mohammed Miftah, was appointed to run a caretaker government in Sanaa.

\n

Following the confirmation of the deaths of the senior officials, Mahdi al-Mashat, head of the Supreme Political Council — the Houthis' highest governing body in Sanaa — said in a speech aired by al-Masirah TV that "Israel should await dark days".

\n

"Our stance remains as it is and will remain until the aggression ends and the siege is lifted, no matter how great the challenges," Mashat said. "We shall take vengeance, and we shall forge from the depths of wounds a victory."

\n

According to Saba News Agency, the Houthi Defense Minister Mohammed Nasser al-Atifi said forces "are ready at all levels to confront" Israel, whereas Mohammed Abdulkarim al-Gumari, Houthi military chief of staff, said "the Israeli aggression on civilian sites will not pass without punishment".

\n

Israel said its air force carried out a "significant operation" targeting a meeting of the Houthi Cabinet in Sanaa while its members were watching a speech by the group's leader, Abdulmalik al-Houthi, who vowed to continue support for Palestinians.

\n

On Saturday, Iran strongly condemned the Israeli airstrikes against Houthi leaders. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf called the attack "a clear example of aggression against the Yemeni people and their legitimate government during a time of intense struggle against Israel", the IRNA news agency reported.

\n

The Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen, have carried out drone and missile attacks on Israel since November 2023 in what they describe as showing solidarity with Palestinians during the Gaza conflict.

\n

Israel has responded with strikes on Houthi-held areas, targeting airports, power stations and ports in Sanaa and the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, with Thursday's airstrikes believed to have dealt the most serious blow to the group.

\n

The United States announced a deal with the Houthis to end the strikes in return for an end to attacks on Red Sea shipping in May. However, the Houthis said the agreement did not include halting attacks on targets aligned with Israel.

\n

The Houthis seized Sanaa in 2014, forcing the internationally recognized Yemeni government into exile in Aden. Since then, the group has controlled much of northern Yemen, including Sanaa and Hodeidah, and set up a government in the capital.

\n

Meanwhile, Israel has escalated efforts to evacuate Palestinians from Gaza City. That plan has been condemned by foreign governments and criticized in Israel as unnecessary and costly, as the great majority of Gazans have been displaced at least once and the United Nations has declared a famine.

\n

"It is impossible that a mass evacuation of Gaza City could ever be done in a way that is safe and dignified under the current conditions," Mirjana Spoljaric, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, said in a statement.

\n

In Gaza, 66 people were killed on Saturday, the territory's health authorities said. Since Oct 7, 2023, Israel's military campaign in Gaza has killed more than 63,000 people and injured over 160,000 others.

\n

Abu Mohammed Kishko, a resident of the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City, told Agence France-Presse that the bombardments the previous night had been "insane".

\n

"It didn't stop for a second, and we didn't sleep all night," the 42-year-old said.

\n

At a Saturday rally in Tel Aviv demanding the negotiated release of the remaining Israeli hostages held in Gaza, captives' families warned the impending offensive could imperil their lives.

NEW YORK — A divided US appeals court ruled on Friday that most of the Donald Trump administration's tariffs are illegal, undercutting the Republican president's use of the levies as a key international economic policy tool.

\n

The court allowed the tariffs to remain in place through Oct 14 to give the administration a chance to file an appeal with the Supreme Court.

\n

The decision came as a legal fight over the independence of the Federal Reserve also seems bound for the Supreme Court, setting up an unprecedented legal showdown this year over Trump's entire economic policy.

\n

Trump has made tariffs a pillar of US foreign policy in his second term, using them to exert political pressure and renegotiate trade deals with countries that export goods to the United States.

\n

The tariffs have given the Trump administration leverage to extract economic concessions from trading partners but have also increased volatility in financial markets.

\n

Trump lamented the decision by what he called a "highly partisan "court, posting on Truth Social, "If these tariffs ever went away, it would be a total disaster for the country."

\n

He nonetheless predicted a reversal, saying he expected tariffs to benefit the country "with the help of the Supreme Court".

\n

The 7-4 decision from the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, DC, addressed the legality of what Trump calls "reciprocal" tariffs imposed as part of his trade war in April, as well as a separate set of tariffs imposed in February against Canada, China and Mexico.

\n

Democratic presidents appointed six judges in the majority and two judges who dissented, while Republican presidents appointed one judge in the majority and two dissenters.

\n

The court's decision does not affect tariffs issued under other legal authority, such as the administration's tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

\n

Trump justified both sets of tariffs — as well as more recent levies — under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which gives the president the power to address "unusual and extraordinary" threats during national emergencies.

\n

"The statute bestows significant authority on the President to undertake a number of actions in response to a declared national emergency, but none of these actions explicitly include the power to impose tariffs, duties, or the like, or the power to tax," the court said.

\n

The Department of Justice has argued that the law allows tariffs under emergency provisions that authorize a president to "regulate "imports or block them completely.

\n

Trump declared a national emergency in April over the fact that the US imports more than it exports, as the nation has done for decades. Trump said the persistent trade deficit was undermining US manufacturing capability and military readiness.

\n

The acclaimed Chinese historical movie Dead to Rights made its European premiere at the Mathaeser cinema in Munich on Friday, drawing a full house of more than 400 attendees and prompting reflection on one of the darkest chapters of 20th-century history.

\n

The movie, set against the backdrop of the 1937 Nanjing Massacre, perpetrated by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II, tells the story of a small photography studio and its patrons who strive to preserve humanity and conscience amid catastrophe.

\n

Since its release in China, Dead to Rights has drawn widespread public attention for its emotional storytelling and historical weight.

\n

Qiu Xuejun, China's consul general in Munich, co-hosted the premiere, saying that 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. He praised the role of German businessman John Rabe, who, during the Nanjing Massacre, established a safety zone and saved countless civilians.

\n

"His humanitarian courage is part of both the memory of Sino-German friendship and the shared struggle against fascism," Qiu said.

\n

In an interview after the event, Bernd Einmeier, president of the German-Chinese Association for Economy, Education, and Culture, said the movie is "very important". "It's also very important for Europe to know about the Nanjing Massacre. Because honestly, most Europeans have never heard about this, they have no clue what happened there."

\n

Gao Ye, the lead actress, shared a video message, saying she was honored to take part in the European premiere and grateful to audiences in Germany for their willingness to "listen to history and remember the past". She encouraged viewers to treasure peace and human dignity in today's world.

\n

Thomas Rabe, John Rabe's grandson, also addressed the audience in a video message. He recalled his grandfather's efforts in Nanjing in 1937-38, when more than 200,000 Chinese civilians found refuge in the safety zone.

\n

Reading from his grandfather's wartime diary and letters, Rabe underscored the responsibility of younger generations to protect peace and care for others. "Peace today was hard-won," he said. "China endured unimaginable hardship to secure victory, and our continuing humanitarian work together makes me proud."

\n

Erhard Rau, chairman of the German Cultural and Economic Promotion Association, said the film should be screened worldwide. "It is not so much about carrying these terrible experiences within us," he said. "It is about what we can learn from them — for the future. That is why it is so important that films like this are shown, so we can connect with the fate of those people."

\n

Among younger attendees, German social media influencer Aaron Zehren said he knew little about the Nanjing Massacre before the screening. "After watching, I gained a much deeper understanding of the tragic experiences of Nanjing's civilians," he said. "The historical facts must be shown to the world."

\n

Diplomats from the Canadian, United States and South African consulates in Munich attended the European premiere, which was conceived not only as a cinematic event but also as a gesture of remembrance and dialogue.

\n

The film will next screen in Italy, the United Kingdom and other European countries. As Qiu noted, "The memory of the past must be preserved — not for hatred, but to safeguard peace and remind future generations of the fragility of civilization."

\n

能找到马铃薯是类马铃薯和番茄杂交的证据也是非常有趣的事情了。

\n

\n

这项研究核心内容就是找到了 900 万年前，马铃薯由类马铃薯和番茄杂交而来，来自番茄与类马铃薯的遗传贡献比例约为 4 : 6。

\n

主要意义在于育种学方面的，可以为以后培养出更优质或者抗病性更好的土豆提供研究思路。

\n

因为研究本来就是“优薯计划”一部分，也就是给土豆搞优生优育。

\n

好了，关于基因方面的解读网上已经很多了。

\n

这里讲讲有趣的事情：

\n

土豆和番茄同为茄科植物，它们后面的茄科才是真有东西。

\n
\"\"
\n

哈利波特里面会尖叫的曼德拉草就是茄科的，事情是不是变得有趣起来了？

\n

不同植物家族有不同的调性。

卷心菜公主
\n

茄科则更像是集齐了阴狠（漂亮但有毒的曼陀罗）、毒辣（辣椒）、魅惑（天仙子致幻、烟草上瘾等）于一身的魅魔，啊不对，是巫医，既提供阿托品（镇静）又提供致幻剂：

\n
\"\"
\n

新世界（哥伦比发现的美洲新大陆）不养闲人，大多来自美洲的茄科植物自然带了点美洲的特色。

\n

土豆你看起来是种挺温和的植物是不是？

\n

但其实野生土豆也不是善茬。

\n

大家都知道土豆发芽就不能吃了，因为发芽的土豆龙葵素（glycoalkaloids）含量很高。

\n

这类生物碱具有毒性并苦味明显，少量食用可能会导致肝肾损伤，大量食用中毒甚至会导致死亡。

\n

而土豆被人工驯化之前是分布在秘鲁中部至阿根廷北的野生马铃薯复合群。

\n
\"\"
安第斯山脉出售的各种土豆
\n

这些野生的土豆是有毒的，含有龙葵素，只是通过安第斯原住民选择味道较不苦的种类逐步降低了毒性。

\n

安第斯山脉野生从二倍体到六倍体都有，而我们吃的土豆是四倍体种。

\n

中间经过了多次杂交育种，现在的土豆基因组高度杂合。

\n

其实不但土豆有龙葵素，番茄和茄子都有。

\n

龙葵素另外的名称就是茄碱，广泛存在于茄科植物当中。

\n

现在市面上我们吃的番茄和茄子都是成熟的，未成熟的生番茄和生茄子也都含有龙葵素，生吃会中毒的。

\n

另外，辣椒也是茄科的，番茄有辣椒素的基因，但是不表达为辣椒素。

\n

其实土豆也有。

\n

辣椒中参与辣椒素生物合成的 51 个基因家族在番茄、马铃薯和拟南芥中都有直系同源基因 *1。

\n

其中辣椒有 13 个基因家族发生了独立的特异性复制（例如，酰基载体蛋白 (Acld)、AT3、羧基转移酶β亚基 (β-CT)、C3H、肉桂醇脱氢酶 (CAD)、肉桂酰辅酶 A 还原酶 (CCR)、Kas I和PAL基因等）。最终导致了辣椒素生物合成途径的特化和演化。

\n

既然它们同为茄科，并且还有合成辣椒素的同源基因，以后培育出辣的番茄和土豆也不是梦（bushi）。

\n

另外有趣的是，烟草也是茄科（烟草属）的植物。

\n

茄科中的曼陀罗属、颠茄属、天仙子属、曼德拉草属及山莨菪属等通过合成莨菪烷[类]生物碱（tropane alkaloids）获得药用与毒性特性。该类生物碱具有八元双环含氮核心结构（莨菪烷）：

\n
\"\"
\n

莨菪烷[类]生物碱被认为是自史前时代以来最有价值的化合物之一。

\n

从莨菪烷这个名字就可以看出来，它们跟山莨菪属有千丝万缕的关系。

\n

事实上也是如此，最开始这类生物碱很多都是茄科提取的，比如阿托品、莨菪碱等。

\n

因为这些化合物具有抗胆碱能特性，它们可以通过结合毒蕈碱型（M 型）乙酰胆碱受体和 / 或烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体，阻断中枢神经系统和外周神经系统中的乙酰胆碱传递。因此，它们在临床上具有重要意义，并被用作止吐药、麻醉药、抗痉挛药、支气管扩张剂和散瞳剂。

\n

尤其是阿托品，在临床上使用不要太多，主要是它能迅速解救有机磷农药中毒。

\n

茄科里面还有致幻三杰the trio of the delirium:

\n
\"\"
\n

中世纪时期，多种药膏和饮品的配方中曾包含一些具有致幻作用的植物。

\n

以及从中世纪的欧洲就“声明在外”的茄科三大致幻植物：

\n

致命颠茄（Atropa belladonna）、天仙子（Hyoscyamus niger）和曼德拉草（Mandragora officinarum）。

\n

其中曼德拉草更是尤为出名，经常以尖叫植物的形态出现，哈利波特里面也有提及。

\n

所有上述植物均含 阿托品、东莨菪碱 及 莨菪碱。通过阻断 M 型乙酰胆碱受体引发中枢神经兴奋→谵妄→昏迷，致死剂量可致呼吸麻痹。

\n

曼陀罗属的很多花朵也是同样的作用。

\n

所以茄科真是个有趣的植物类别。

\n

进可以致幻中毒，退可以贡献世界上最大品类的麻醉药、最广泛播种的主粮之一。

茄科中的曼陀罗属、颠茄属、天仙子属、曼德拉草属及山莨菪属等通过合成莨菪烷[类]生物碱（tropane alkaloids）获得药用与毒性特性。该类生物碱具有八元双环含氮核心结构（莨菪烷）：

\n
\"\"
\n

莨菪烷[类]生物碱被认为是自史前时代以来最有价值的化合物之一。

\n

从莨菪烷这个名字就可以看出来，它们跟山莨菪属有千丝万缕的关系。

\n

事实上也是如此，最开始这类生物碱很多都是茄科提取的，比如阿托品、莨菪碱等。

\n

因为这些化合物具有抗胆碱能特性，它们可以通过结合毒蕈碱型（M 型）乙酰胆碱受体和 / 或烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体，阻断中枢神经系统和外周神经系统中的乙酰胆碱传递。因此，它们在临床上具有重要意义，并被用作止吐药、麻醉药、抗痉挛药、支气管扩张剂和散瞳剂。

\n

尤其是阿托品，在临床上使用不要太多，主要是它能迅速解救有机磷农药中毒。

\n

茄科里面还有致幻三杰the trio of the delirium:

\n
\"\"
\n

中世纪时期，多种药膏和饮品的配方中曾包含一些具有致幻作用的植物。

\n

以及从中世纪的欧洲就“声明在外”的茄科三大致幻植物：

\n

致命颠茄（Atropa belladonna）、天仙子（Hyoscyamus niger）和曼德拉草（Mandragora officinarum）。

\n

其中曼德拉草更是尤为出名，经常以尖叫植物的形态出现，哈利波特里面也有提及。

\n

所有上述植物均含 阿托品、东莨菪碱 及 莨菪碱。通过阻断 M 型乙酰胆碱受体引发中枢神经兴奋→谵妄→昏迷，致死剂量可致呼吸麻痹。

\n

曼陀罗属的很多花朵也是同样的作用。

\n

所以茄科真是个有趣的植物类别。

\n

进可以致幻中毒，退可以贡献世界上最大品类的麻醉药、最广泛播种的主粮之一。

Editor's Note: Brazilian media Forum Magazine recently published an article stating that for decades, industrial growth and sustainability seemed at odds with each other, but now, China's green factories are striving to prove that the two can go hand in hand and even transform sustainability into a source of strength. In an interview with People's Daily Overseas Edition, Xu Yingming, a senior researcher of green trade at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, expounded on China's experience in this regard. Below are excerpts from the interview. The views don't necessarily represent those of China Daily.

\n

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets". For two decades, this scientific philosophy has guided China's continuous exploration of ways to achieve coordinated progress of ecological protection and economic development. By 2024, China's energy consumption per unit of GDP had decreased by 11.6 percent compared to 2020, equivalent to a reduction of 1.1 billion metric tons of CO2 emissions.

\n

Focusing on core objectives such as intensive land use, harmless raw materials, clean production, waste resource utilization and low-carbon energy, green factories continuously promote intensive utilization of infrastructure, management systems, energy and resource inputs and products. This makes them a key vehicle for green development throughout the product life cycle and manufacturing industry chain.

\n

Over the past decade, green factories, as the core implementation unit of green manufacturing, have been a major driving force in China's efforts to build an efficient, clean, low-carbon and circular green manufacturing system. Since the launch of a national green factory selection program in 2017, China now has over 6,400 national-level green factories, whose output value accounts for 20 percent of China's total manufacturing output. By 2030, the output value of green factories nationwide is expected to exceed 40 percent of the total manufacturing output value.

\n

Cognitive shifts, policy support and improved standards are key initiatives in China's efforts to promote the development of green factories. On a conceptual level, China is shifting from its past extensive development model to green development, transforming the concept of green development into a quantifiable, replicable, and sustainable closed-loop system of "strategy-management-technology-culture".

\n

On the policy level, China provides substantial policy and financial support for the green transformation of enterprises through multifaceted support, including direct financial incentives, tax incentives, energy conservation and emissions reduction subsidies, green product certification incentives, and green investment guidance funds.

\n

In terms of the standardization system, by implementing and updating a series of policies, standards and regulations for industries such as steel, nonferrous metals, chemicals, and rare earths, a "general principles+ guidelines+ detailed rules" implementation system has been established.

\n

In accordance with the dynamic management requirements of the interim measures for the undertaking, the country plans to annually remove noncompliant green factories, green industry parks and green supply chain management companies from the green manufacturing list.

\n

This ensures that green factories serve as role models, continuously improve green manufacturing standards and promote the green transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. Except for green factories' contribution to environmental protection, the high-value-added green products they produce can also better meet the demand for sustainable consumption in both domestic and international markets. This helps break down green trade barriers, significantly enhance companies' market competitiveness and brand image, foster new drivers of green economic growth and achieve a seamless integration of environmental and economic benefits.

\n

China provides developing countries with a green development plan that deeply embeds green elements throughout the entire industrial process. The country has achieved systematic technological breakthroughs which can provide developing countries with a systematic, intelligent and green menu-style technical support solution.

President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan pose with international guests for a group photo in Tianjin on Sunday, before a welcoming banquet held for the dignitaries attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit 2025.

\n

President Xi Jinping said on Sunday that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is shouldering greater responsibilities for safeguarding regional peace and stability, and for boosting common development at a time when the world faces mounting uncertainty and unpredictability.

\n

Xi made the remarks as he and his wife, Peng Liyuan, hosted a banquet in the port city of Tianjin to welcome international guests attending the SCO Summit 2025.

\n

Known since ancient times as a gateway to Beijing, Tianjin has long been recognized for its openness and inclusiveness, and it has been a pioneer in China's reform and opening-up.

\n

"In recent years, Tianjin has implemented the national strategy of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development, and written its new and dynamic chapter in advancing Chinese modernization. We believe that as the host of this summit, Tianjin will give fresh impetus to the sustainable development of our organization," Xi told the guests.

\n

Founded in Shanghai in 2001, the SCO has expanded from a six-member regional organization into a trans-regional organization with 10 full members, two observer countries and 14 dialogue partners, representing nearly half of the world's population and a quarter of the global economy.

\n

Xi said that since its inception, the SCO has upheld the "Shanghai Spirit", with the core values of mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diversity and pursuit of common development.

\n

The organization has consolidated unity and mutual trust, deepened practical cooperation, and participated in international and regional affairs, Xi said.

\n

As a result, the SCO has grown into a significant force in promoting a new type of international relations and building a community with a shared future for humanity, he added.

\n

"At present, the century-defining transformation is accelerating across the world, with a marked increase in factors of instability, uncertainty, and unpredictability. The SCO thus bears an even greater responsibility for maintaining regional peace and stability and promoting the development and prosperity of all countries," Xi said.

\n

He emphasized that this year's summit in Tianjin carries the important mission of building consensus, injecting new impetus into cooperation and charting a blueprint for future growth.

\n

According to the schedule, member states are expected to adopt key documents, including the organization's development strategy for the next decade, during the summit.

\n

Xi is also expected to unveil China's new measures and actions to support the SCO's high-quality development and all-around cooperation, while outlining pathways for the organization to contribute constructively to safeguarding the post-World War II international order and enhancing the global governance system.

\n

"I am confident that with the collective efforts of all parties, this summit will be a complete success and the SCO will play an even greater role, achieve greater development, and make greater contribution to strengthening solidarity and cooperation among the member states, pooling the strength of the Global South, and promoting the cause of human advancement," he said.

\n

In his toast, Xi cited a Chinese saying that "in a race of a hundred boats, those who row the hardest will lead".

\n

"Let us uphold the 'Shanghai Spirit' and set out from Tianjin on a new voyage filled with hope toward an even brighter future!" he said.

\n

The acclaimed Chinese historical movie Dead to Rights made its European premiere at the Mathaeser cinema in Munich on Friday, drawing a full house of more than 400 attendees and prompting reflection on one of the darkest chapters of 20th-century history.

\n

The movie, set against the backdrop of the 1937 Nanjing Massacre, perpetrated by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II, tells the story of a small photography studio and its patrons who strive to preserve humanity and conscience amid catastrophe.

\n

Since its release in China, Dead to Rights has drawn widespread public attention for its emotional storytelling and historical weight.

\n

Qiu Xuejun, China's consul general in Munich, co-hosted the premiere, saying that 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. He praised the role of German businessman John Rabe, who, during the Nanjing Massacre, established a safety zone and saved countless civilians.

\n

"His humanitarian courage is part of both the memory of Sino-German friendship and the shared struggle against fascism," Qiu said.

\n

In an interview after the event, Bernd Einmeier, president of the German-Chinese Association for Economy, Education, and Culture, said the movie is "very important". "It's also very important for Europe to know about the Nanjing Massacre. Because honestly, most Europeans have never heard about this, they have no clue what happened there."

\n

Gao Ye, the lead actress, shared a video message, saying she was honored to take part in the European premiere and grateful to audiences in Germany for their willingness to "listen to history and remember the past". She encouraged viewers to treasure peace and human dignity in today's world.

\n

Thomas Rabe, John Rabe's grandson, also addressed the audience in a video message. He recalled his grandfather's efforts in Nanjing in 1937-38, when more than 200,000 Chinese civilians found refuge in the safety zone.

\n

Reading from his grandfather's wartime diary and letters, Rabe underscored the responsibility of younger generations to protect peace and care for others. "Peace today was hard-won," he said. "China endured unimaginable hardship to secure victory, and our continuing humanitarian work together makes me proud."

\n

Erhard Rau, chairman of the German Cultural and Economic Promotion Association, said the film should be screened worldwide. "It is not so much about carrying these terrible experiences within us," he said. "It is about what we can learn from them — for the future. That is why it is so important that films like this are shown, so we can connect with the fate of those people."

\n

Among younger attendees, German social media influencer Aaron Zehren said he knew little about the Nanjing Massacre before the screening. "After watching, I gained a much deeper understanding of the tragic experiences of Nanjing's civilians," he said. "The historical facts must be shown to the world."

\n

Diplomats from the Canadian, United States and South African consulates in Munich attended the European premiere, which was conceived not only as a cinematic event but also as a gesture of remembrance and dialogue.

\n

The film will next screen in Italy, the United Kingdom and other European countries. As Qiu noted, "The memory of the past must be preserved — not for hatred, but to safeguard peace and remind future generations of the fragility of civilization."

President Xi Jinping shakes hands with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday during their meeting at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Putin, who participated in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit 2025 held in Tianjin from Sunday to Monday, will also attend events in Beijing on Wednesday commemorating 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.

\n

President Xi Jinping expressed on Tuesday Beijing's willingness to step up high-level exchanges with Moscow and ensure the further success of major cooperation projects, saying that China-Russia ties have "become an example of major-country relations".

\n

Xi made the remarks during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. At noon, the two leaders had a small tea party and a banquet.

\n

Witnessed by the two heads of state, the two sides signed more than 20 bilateral cooperation documents covering areas such as energy, space, artificial intelligence, agriculture, inspection and quarantine, health, scientific research, education and media.

\n

Putin is visiting China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit 2025 as well as commemorations marking 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.

\n

Xi, who visited Russia in May,said the two countries' heads of state attending each other's commemorations marking the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War "fully demonstrates their responsibility as major victorious nations of World War II and permanent members of the United Nations Security Council".

\n

It also displays their firm resolve to defend the victorious outcomes of WWII and safeguard a correct historical perspective on WWII, he added.

\n

Putin said that under the guidance of the two heads of state,Russia-China ties are highly strategic and at an all-time high.

\n

The two countries have showcased to the world their mutual support and joint efforts in the World Anti-Fascist War, which played a key role in securing victory on the main battlefields of WWII in Europe and the East, as well as their firm stance in jointly defending historical truth and safeguarding the fruits of WWII victory, Putin said.

\n

The two nations' unity and cooperation during the war have also become a solid foundation for the development of Russia-China relations in the new era, he added.

\n

In the latest example of the bilateral ties' continuing growth,the Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday that China has decided to pilot a visa-free policy for ordinary passport holders from Russia, from Sept 15 this year to Sept 14, 2026.

\n

"Russian holders of ordinary passports who come to China for doing business, traveling and sightseeing, visiting relatives and friends, exchange visits, and transit for no more than 30 days can enter the country visa-free," Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said.

\n

Sun Zhuangzhi, director of the Institute of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that "the bilateral, all-around cooperation is advancing on a remarkable scale".

\n

"The two countries, as guided by head-of-state diplomacy, have achieved a series of remarkable achievements in recent years in practical cooperation, which features a high level, broad coverage and multiple dimensions," he added.

\n

On future bilateral interactions, Xi said that China is ready to strengthen high-level Sino-Russian exchanges, support each other's development and revitalization, and "coordinate positions on issues involving the two countries' core interests and major concerns in a timely manner".

\n

The two sides should leverage major projects to steer their cooperation, develop exemplary cooperation projects, and promote the deep-level integration of interests, he added.

\n

Putin said that Russia is willing to maintain strategic coordination with China, continue close high-level exchanges, strengthen practical cooperation in various fields and push for the continued high-level development of bilateral relations.

\n

Regarding the just-concluded SCO Summit, Putin said the Global Governance Initiative proposed by Xi at the summit is very timely and necessary and will play an important role in addressing the global governance deficit.

\n

It also displays their firm resolve to defend the victorious outcomes of WWII and safeguard a correct historical perspective on WWII, he added.

\n

Putin said that under the guidance of the two heads of state,Russia-China ties are highly strategic and at an all-time high.

\n

The two countries have showcased to the world their mutual support and joint efforts in the World Anti-Fascist War, which played a key role in securing victory on the main battlefields of WWII in Europe and the East, as well as their firm stance in jointly defending historical truth and safeguarding the fruits of WWII victory, Putin said.

\n

The two nations' unity and cooperation during the war have also become a solid foundation for the development of Russia-China relations in the new era, he added.

\n

In the latest example of the bilateral ties' continuing growth,the Foreign Ministry announced on Tuesday that China has decided to pilot a visa-free policy for ordinary passport holders from Russia, from Sept 15 this year to Sept 14, 2026.

\n

"Russian holders of ordinary passports who come to China for doing business, traveling and sightseeing, visiting relatives and friends, exchange visits, and transit for no more than 30 days can enter the country visa-free," Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said.

\n

Sun Zhuangzhi, director of the Institute of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that "the bilateral, all-around cooperation is advancing on a remarkable scale".

\n

"The two countries, as guided by head-of-state diplomacy, have achieved a series of remarkable achievements in recent years in practical cooperation, which features a high level, broad coverage and multiple dimensions," he added.

\n

On future bilateral interactions, Xi said that China is ready to strengthen high-level Sino-Russian exchanges, support each other's development and revitalization, and "coordinate positions on issues involving the two countries' core interests and major concerns in a timely manner".

\n

The two sides should leverage major projects to steer their cooperation, develop exemplary cooperation projects, and promote the deep-level integration of interests, he added.

\n

Putin said that Russia is willing to maintain strategic coordination with China, continue close high-level exchanges, strengthen practical cooperation in various fields and push for the continued high-level development of bilateral relations.

\n

Regarding the just-concluded SCO Summit, Putin said the Global Governance Initiative proposed by Xi at the summit is very timely and necessary and will play an important role in addressing the global governance deficit.

Nikolai Vladimirovich Chuikov, grandson of Marshal Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov of the former Soviet Union, answers questions in Beijing on Tuesday during a group interview at the media center for events commemorating 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.

\n

As China prepares to host world leaders for its V-Day commemorations on Wednesday in Beijing, international figures have hailed the nation's sacrifice in the World Anti-Fascist War, and called for bearing the history in mind and upholding peace in the face of an increasingly fragmented world.

\n

"If it weren't for the tremendous sacrifices made by the great Chinese people during the war of resistance against Japanese aggression, it might not have been possible for the Soviet Union to withstand the Nazi invasion. The Chinese people made significant contributions to the final victory in World War II," said Nikolai Vladimirovich Chuikov, a member of the Central Board of the Russia-China Friendship Society.

\n

Chuikov, who is the grandson of Marshal Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov of the former Soviet Union and head of the Public Commission for International Relations of the Russian Union of Veterans, made the remarks during a group interview in Beijing on Tuesday.

\n

He was joined by other international figures who have connections with foreign friends who made significant contributions to the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45).

\n

Chuikov said that some people are trying to deny, distort or gloss over the history of WWII, but others should "work together to safeguard the historical truth of WWII and defend the hard-won peace".

\n

"We must bear the history in mind to prevent atrocities like the Nanjing Massacre from happening again," he added.

\n

Speaking about Sino-Russian friendship, Chuikov said it is guided by the good relations between President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He added that amid increasing instability in the international landscape, Russia and China can work together to build the foundation for global peace.

\n

Yokichi Kobayashi, son of a Japanese veteran of the Eighth Route Army, Kiyoshi Kobayashi, said that commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the war of resistance against Japanese aggression serves as a reminder to never forget history and to cherish peace.

\n

Yokichi Kobayashi, who has long dedicated himself to promoting peace and anti-war initiatives as well as Sino-Japanese friendship in Japan, said the two countries share a bond spanning thousands of years — a history that should not be forgotten.

\n

However, that history also includes periods of brutal aggression and victimization, which should not be forgotten either, he said.

\n

"The atrocities committed by Japanese imperialists in China deserve to be exposed, reminding us that a nation's reflection on history is far more important than another nation's forgiveness. Only a country that is courageous in its reflection can earn the respect of the world," he added.

\n

Michael Crook, chairman of the International Committee for the Promotion of Chinese Industrial Cooperatives, was born in Beijing, and he studied and worked in China for a long time due to his parents' association with the country.

\n

Recalling his family's bond with China, Crook said the nation has set an example of how to uphold peace while advancing development.

\n

"People suffered in the wars. We must work in solidarity to fight for peace," he said, expressing the hope that China will continue to play a positive role in safeguarding global peace.

\n

Jean-Louis Bussiere, a renowned French cardiologist, is the son of Jean Jerome Augustin Bussiere, who practiced medicine in China from 1913 to 1954 and saved many lives. During the war of resistance against Japanese aggression, Jean Jerome Augustin Bussiere risked his life to establish "the hump route by bike" to secretly transport medicines for the Eighth Route Army.

\n

"Through his righteous actions, my father further enriched the special relationship between China and France," Jean-Louis Bussiere said. "As we reflect on the significance of this period of history, we should advocate for respecting cultural differences and diversity to enhance solidarity and cooperation among the peoples of different nations."

Chinese peacekeeper Yang Huanhuan poses with children after sending them stationery as gifts in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo, on Children's Day in 2018.

\n

Wu Feng talks to children selling mangoes at a campsite about their living conditions while en route to patrol Raja, South Sudan, on March 13, 2020.

\n

Sentries of Chinese peacekeeping forces monitor the surroundings at the camp in Lebanon on Oct 14, 2024.

\n

Chinese peacekeepers are awarded UN peace medals in Wau, South Sudan, on Oct 29 for their contribution to the African country's peace process.

\n

Chinese peacekeeper Yang Huanhuan will never forget the note she left for a mother in the Democratic Republic of Congo written in Swahili: "Florence, don't cry, be strong! We stand with you!"

\n

Yang served as a military observer in the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in DR Congo from 2018 to 2019. She was also among the first female military observers sent by China.

\n

During her frequent patrols, she met Florence, a single mother of three children, whose house had been destroyed in a fire.

\n

Florence's plight deeply saddened Yang, so she gave her $50 along with the note, placed in an envelope. She also gave the mother clothes and shoes, in the hope of cheering her up.

\n

"The $50 was the equivalent of Florence's monthly salary," said Yang, who is now a PhD student on the Nanjing campus of the National University of Defense Technology.

\n

To Yang's relief, Florence, who had no mobile phone and couldn't speak English, managed to send a message through someone, saying that she had rebuilt her home to start a new life and would never forget the help of the Chinese military observer. The story was featured in an article published on the UN's peacekeeping website.

\n

Like Yang, Wu Feng, 42, an instructor at the Shijiazhuang campus of the Army Engineering University of the People's Liberation Army, also had unforgettable experiences as a military observer with a UN Mission in South Sudan from 2019 to 2020.

\n

"As a peacekeeper, the role of a military observer is often romanticized by the public. But in reality, the work is full of thrills and challenges," he said, noting that UN missions set high standards for military observers.

\n

"The main duties of military observers include observation, investigation, verification, liaison and reporting, and they also assist NGOs in humanitarian aid," he said.

\n

During missions, observers must strictly adhere to impartiality, carry no weapons and operate independently, not as part of any peacekeeping unit, he added.

\n

"Observers are both faithful recorders of conflicts and crucial promoters of peace processes," Wu said while pointing out an observer's work is highly demanding, requiring 24/7 readiness and vigilance.

\n

His observer team conducted daily patrols in Wau, South Sudan, with two to four short-duration patrols every week covering 50 to 200 kilometers, and two to three long-duration patrols monthly, lasting six to seven days with field camping.

\n

Observers also undertook monthly helicopter patrols, two to four convoy escort missions and accompanied engineering units for road surveys, he said.

\n

Key force in missions

\n

In South Sudan, Wu witnessed the Chinese peacekeeping engineering detachment constructing the Sopo Bridge, reinforcing his belief that Chinese peacekeepers have become a key force in UN missions through their expertise.

\n

In April 2020, the detachment set out from their camp, braving the risks of COVID-19 infection and the scorching heat, to reach the Sopo River, 254 kilometers away. The journey took three days.

\n

"Upon arrival, the engineering unit immediately began work, digging up silt, laying foundations and installing culverts. After 20 days of relentless effort, the 68-meter-long and 8-meter-wide bridge was completed," Wu said.

\n

The bridge became a crucial link for the Raja region, greatly helping locals and supporting UN humanitarian efforts, he said.

\n

"The secret to Chinese peacekeepers becoming a key force lies in three words: professionalism, dedication and sacrifice," the former peacekeeper said, stressing that Chinese peacekeepers confidently build trust with sincerity and strength.

\n

Given the harsh local living conditions and complex political situations, Chinese peacekeepers realize the preciousness of peace, and make contributions to improve local people's lives in their own ways.

\n

"Coming from the world's largest developing country to the war-torn DR Congo presented obvious challenges," said Yang, who noted that "as a soldier, I am prepared for all kinds of hardships".

\n

In her mission areas, there was no safe drinking water — or even water for washing. "We had to go 5 km away to get it," she said.

\n

A question she often asked herself was: "How can the villagers be actually lifted from poverty to prosperity?"

\n

For Yang, the answer was clear — knowledge can change the course of people's lives.

\n

She stopped taking candies and biscuits to local children when patrolling, and started bringing books, notebooks, pens and soccer balls, hoping to spark their interest in learning.

\n

"Knowledge can indeed change a person's fate, and sports can make one feel stronger and sturdier," Yang told the local children. "I could tell from their faces. They were more curious, with a longing for happiness," she said.

\n

As military observers, Yang and her peers compiled the firsthand information gathered during their patrols, and reported it to relevant departments daily. "It makes me proud to see how our efforts can help make some difference in the country," she said.

\n

Landmark anniversary

\n

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, and is also the 35th anniversary of China's participation in UN peacekeeping operations.

\n

In 1990, China first took part in UN peacekeeping operations by sending five military observers to Egypt and Syria for missions organized by the UN Truce Supervision Organization, which is headquartered in Jerusalem.

\n

Since then, the Chinese military has sent over 50,000 personnel to participate in UN peacekeeping operations in more than 20 countries and regions, including the DR Congo, Lebanon, and South Sudan, according to the Ministry of National Defense. A total of 17 Chinese peacekeepers have paid the ultimate price on these missions.

\n

China is currently the second-largest contributor to the UN peacekeeping budget. Among the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, it is the top contributor of peacekeepers, with nearly 2,000 Chinese troops serving in six peacekeeping missions.

\n

At the UN peacekeeping summit in 2015, President Xi Jinping announced six measures that China would take to support these operations. All six measures have been fully implemented, including establishing a standby peacekeeping force of 8,000 troops, offering 20 training programs to over 1,500 peacekeepers from more than 60 countries, and sending 25 rotations of engineering and medical units, totaling about 7,000 troops, to missions in Africa and Asia.

\n

Atia Ali Kazmi, director for Global and Regional Studies at the Institute for Strategic Studies, Research and Analysis in Pakistan, said that the PLA brings several distinct advantages to UN peacekeeping. Its logistics strength, rapid deployment capabilities and disciplined force structure make the PLA an efficient contributor and operator in complex environments, she added.

\n

"China's principled commitment to sovereignty, noninterference, and multilateralism lends credibility and balance to UN operations, especially in politically sensitive missions," she said.

\n

The PLA's growing investment in medical, engineering, and explosives-handling support, further enhances its peacekeeping value compared with traditional Western contributors, she added.

\n

Joining parade

\n

On Wednesday, China's peacekeepers will take part in the grand military parade in Beijing to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the war against Japanese aggression and fascism.

\n

It marks the second time Chinese peacekeepers have participated in such a grand parade. In 2019, they joined the parade to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

\n

Wu Zeke, deputy director of the Office of the Leading Group for the Military Parade and a senior officer of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission, said at a briefing in August that all the participating peacekeepers had undertaken international peacekeeping missions and come from engineering and infantry units.

\n

"This arrangement not only highlights the solemn commemoration of the victory, but also demonstrates our commitment to fulfilling international obligations and maintaining world peace," he said.

\n

Over the past 35 years, Chinese peacekeeping forces have gradually moved toward a scientific and institutionalized path, forming principles, policies, and action guidelines with Chinese characteristics that meet international standards, Wu said.

\n

Chinese peacekeeping forces have expanded from a single service branch to multiple military branches, transitioned from support and security tasks to comprehensive multifunctional roles, and extended their mission objectives from ceasefire monitoring to lasting peace, making significant contributions to world peace, he said.

\n

China's military has demonstrated its steadfast support for multilateralism and the purposes and principles of the UN Charter through practical actions, according to Wu.

\n

Zhang Junshe, a former researcher at the PLA Naval Research Academy, said that maintaining world peace is the duty of China as a major responsible country.

\n

"At the same time, the stronger China becomes, the more public security products the Chinese military can provide to the international community," he said. "Therefore, the growth of China's military power is increasing the force for maintaining peace in the world, and is not a threat."

\n

Since 2015, the MND's Peacekeeping Affairs Center has conducted 25 international training programs, training more than 1,600 peacekeepers from over 70 countries, ministry spokesman Zhang Xiaogang said in a news briefing in July.
