新生代早期北极森林景象
\n

01 极地森林的发现

\n

20 世纪九十年代，全球大探索时代徐徐落下帷幕，从南美亚马逊雨林到亚洲高海拔西藏，从尼罗河源头到中国内陆的死亡之海罗布泊，西方探险家不知疲倦的填补着地球仪上人迹未到的空白。

\n

此时，惟有气候恶劣的南极和北极还是未探索的处女地，但为了国家荣誉而战的探险家们已经欲欲跃试。

\n

我们熟知的是英国探险家斯科特和他的同伴探险南极大陆而殒身，留下了伟大的悲剧。茨威格在《人类群星闪耀时》中这样评价斯科特：

\n
在壮烈的搏击中，英勇的死，死犹胜生，奋发向上直抵无穷的意志将会从失败中复活。因为只有偶然成功和轻易得手才燃起人们的虚荣心，而一个人在和强大的、不可战胜的命运抗争中倒下去时却最能显示他高尚的心灵。
\n

在斯科特踏上南极冒险之旅的大约 30 年前， 在世界的另一端， 以挪威人弗里乔夫·南森为代表的极地探险家已经在北极圈内发现了植物化石。

\n

随后，美国探险家布雷纳德在位于加拿大高纬度北极地区的埃尔斯米尔岛，并发现了树桩化石，后被称为“布雷纳德森林”。

\n

这些改写历史的证据表明，北极圈内曾有树木存活，甚至可能有森林。

\n

但这些证据都是小打小闹，直到 1985 年，加拿大高纬度地区阿克塞尔·海伯格岛的森林遗迹被发现，一个失落的北极森林世界为人类铺展而开。

\n

1985 年， 加拿大地质调查局的直升机飞行员保罗·塔奇发现了阿克塞尔·海伯格岛山脊上的树桩。

\n

猛烈的北极风吹走了地表的沙子，使得一节节的树桩裸露出来，形成迄今为止保存最完好的极地森林木乃伊。

\n

这片极地森林的保存依靠的是干化过程， 即恶劣的气候和凛冽的寒风直接风干树木躯干。

\n

在树干之间的落叶化石层中，沉积着保存完好的扁平叶片化石， 中最常见的是针叶植物水杉的羽状叶。

\n

通过年龄测定，确定这是一片 4500 万年前的森林。

\n

以如今北极圈荒凉苔原地貌的眼光来看，极地森林的出现不同寻常。

\n

但实际上，这才是地球更加正常的状态，在过去 5 亿年的 80%的时间里， 森林曾延伸到极地圈内， 甚至更远的地方。

\n

地貌类型的分布与气候类型密切相关，过去的气候控制着森林在北方和南方高纬度地区的分布， 就像今天一样。

\n

现在北美的北方森林主要包括松树、落叶松和冷杉等针叶植物，以及桦树和杨树等落叶被子植物， 其领地延伸到北纬 69°。

\n

在北纬 69°以上的区域，永久冻土接近表土，冻结了树木的水分供给。液态水缺乏导致树木种群减少，并为北极冻原的低矮草丛腾出空间，大多是被子植物、苔藓和地衣。

\n

在纬度最高的地区，就连冻原也得向寒冷屈服，向极地荒漠投降，那里大面积的土地都没有植被覆盖， 只零星点缀着最顽强的地衣、 苔藓和偶尔可见的被子植物。

\n

在亚洲的西伯利亚存在相似的模式，只不过稀疏的落叶松林向北多延伸了一点儿，到达北纬 72°。

\n

但在北纬 72°以上的区域， 它们也得让路于无尽的北极荒原。

\n

这些严寒的气候阻止了植物向极点延伸，因为寒冷的气候削弱了树木的生存、 生长和成功繁殖的能力。

\n

但在北极圈内发现的木乃伊森林告诉我们：现在极地的冻原荒漠曾经覆盖着极地森林，曾经的极地气候条件一度比现在温暖的多。

\n

那么，在中生代和新生代早期的极地森林鼎盛时期，极地气候到底有多温暖呢？

02 极地气候温度

\n

1890 年，瑞典古植物学家阿尔弗雷德·内索斯特在格陵兰西海岸附近的沉积物中找到了白垩纪时期的面包树叶片、 花和果实化石。

\n

如今这种生长快速的树生长在冬季温和、 夏季炎热的热带气候，例如新几内亚、印度、马来西亚群岛等。

\n

面包树化石指明北极地区白垩纪时期与今天的热带气候相似的亚热带北极气候。

\n

此外，在加拿大阿克塞尔·海伯格岛西岸，白垩纪地层中发掘出了的鳄龙（champsosaur） 化石。

\n

鳄龙是一种已灭绝的爬行动物，它们以鱼为食，外观和体型与鳄鱼相似，也生活在亚热带和热带气候条件下的淡水环境中。

\n

\n

由此推断，白垩纪时期的北极地区，夏季气候炎热，温度达到 25~30℃；冬季气候温和，气温通常高于冰点而且有可能达到 5℃。

\n

到了新生代早期，地球经历古新世 - 始新世极热事件，气候同样温暖，北极地区气候的温暖程度与现代地中海的北部海岸线非常接近。

\n

如此温暖的两极气候，造就了两极地区生机勃勃的极地森林景观。

03 树木如何过冬

\n

植物的生存除了气候环境息息相关外，和阳光分布密切相关。

\n

初中生物学告诉我们，植物在白天进行光合作用，储存有机物；在夜晚进行呼吸作用，消耗有机物。

\n

但是新生代早期的极地森林被黑暗笼罩长达半年之久， 在这种情况下它们如何应对多达半年的长夜？在没有光合作用的情况，这些树木如何生存呢？

\n

答案就藏在树木化石的年轮里，大自然设计出利用树木年龄记录树木生长的方式。

\n

在温暖的春季，大细胞在木材中产生，随着夏季降水的逐渐减少，细胞变得越来越小，最终在冬季进入休眠状态。因此，明显的年轮界线反映了上一年秋 / 冬季产生的小细胞和下一年春季产生的大细胞之间的鲜明对比。

\n

此外，从一年到下一年的年轮序列也是气候模式的标志物。宽年轮表示对生长更有利的气候条件， 而窄年轮表示较差的气候条件。

\n

北极森林的树木化石都呈现出令人印象深刻的宽年轮，宽度通常为几毫米，还有许多可达到 1 厘米或更宽。

\n

然而今天，北纬 72°的西伯利亚落叶松平均每年生长的年轮宽度最多为 2 毫米，而生活在北 75°~79°的北极群岛上的矮柳， 每年生长的年轮宽度则不到 0.5 毫米。

\n

由此可见，新生代早期北极地区树木旺盛的生产力。

\n

在北极高纬度地区发现的大部分化石都属于我们今天定义的落叶植物，如红杉、水杉、桦树、银杏等。

\n

为什么极地森林主要由有落叶习性的树木组成？

\n

树木的落叶习性是一种在长期演化过程中对环境的作出的最优适应能力，但如何解释却是一个难题。

\n

对树木来说， 碳是树木生长的货币和生命的燃料，树木的生长就是一场碳储存和消耗之间的一场竞争。

\n

树木通过光合作用，储存有机碳，通过呼吸作用消耗它们的养分储备来度过黑暗。

\n

试想一下，在温暖而黑暗的冬季， 一棵常绿树的叶子在强制性休眠期间进行了几个月的呼吸， 却无法通过光合作用产生新的碳水化合物来补充养分储备。一棵树会因此迅速消耗掉它所有的燃料储备，而且冬天会加速细胞的新陈代谢过程及其能量需求，导致问题进一步恶化。

\n

在这种情况下，落叶似乎是一种更优的应对策略。树木落叶并进入休眠状态，直到极地的春天到来，这可以巧妙地节省保留叶子的成本，也节约了宝贵的碳储备。

\n

但事实上，在冬季落叶树通过落叶消耗的碳是常绿树通过呼吸作用消耗的碳的 20 倍，落叶付出的代价远远高于呼吸成本。

\n

这留给我们一个引人入胜又显而易见的悖论。

\n

如果极地环境中的落叶树为了越冬而付出高昂的代价， 它们在生态舞台上应该很快就会被常绿树取代， 但它们却为什么越发繁密茂盛呢？

\n

答案是： 在极地生存这种困难重重的游戏中， 落叶树的手中还握有一张王牌。它们的树叶长得快而且寿命短， 能够通过快速的光合作用充分利用短暂而炎热的夏天，并在这一点上超过常绿树的树叶。

\n

落叶树孤注一掷地把它们的快速生长期全部安排在短暂的夏季；而常绿树在捕获二氧化碳方面更具优势，在日光和温度都允许的情况下，它们能够实现缓慢、稳定的全年生长。

\n

最后，树叶习性各不相同的两种树木再次站在同一起跑线上，在一年中通过不同的碳捕获模式实现了相同的生产力。

\n

但这并不是落叶树占有优势的完美解释，科学家尝试提出其他的可能性。

\n

其一，火灾经常席卷极地森林，沉积物中富含木炭化石可证明这一点，就像今天北美的北方森林一样，平均每过 50~60 年就要经历一次大火的考验[3]。

\n

在这种火灾频发的环境中， 快速生长的树木能使受灾地区迅速恢复原貌，进而占据优势地位， 因为它们能快速地超越其慢条斯理的常绿树，将后者推向更凉爽、更阴冷的环境。

\n

如果火灾足够频繁，常绿树就永远不可能掌握主导权， 而只能将其拱手让给落叶树。

\n

另一种相关的可能性是，土壤的营养成分在决定常绿树和落叶树的分布方面扮演重要角色。拥有长得快、寿命短的叶子，这让落叶树对养分的需求更大：酶需要依靠这些养分在夏季更好地吸收二氧化碳和制造生物量。

\n

然而，常绿树则心满意足地生活在贫瘠的土地上，这符合它们缓慢的生活节奏。事实证明，排水良好、砂质且养分较少的土壤更适合松树，而含有更多养分的深厚土壤则更适合落叶松。

\n

在此，有一个微妙的反馈机制起作用，进一步强化了肥沃和贫瘠土壤之间的区别。寿命长的松针从树上脱落后，分解并释放养分的速度非常缓慢， 这会使土壤处于养分缺乏的状态， 进而抑制松树的养分需求。相反，寿命短的落叶松叶子更容易分解， 有助于维持土壤的较高营养水平。

\n

这样的生态系统反馈——树叶寿命和土壤养分的循环调节着植被和土壤之间的联系，为极地森林的生物地理分布，提供了一种解释。

\n

几万年前我们的祖先在森林里听到一声老虎的低吼，一定无法安心睡着，整夜都得提防着自己成为老虎的口粮。

\n

可老虎真来了，事情反倒可控了，无非是打得过就打，打不过就跑，横竖也就那几分钟的事儿。

\n

这种机制明显具有进化上的保护作用，但放到如今这个时代，它也可能给我们带来不必要的麻烦和痛苦。

\n

我们反复想象最坏结果的过程，实际上是一种心理准备机制——通过提前经历想象中的灾难，我们可以获得一种虚幻的控制感。

\n

而恐惧本身——哪怕它只是想象中的，也会刺激肾上腺素和多巴胺的分泌，让我们产生一种兴奋感。

\n

恐怖片受众往往是「越怕越爱看」，这类「安全恐惧」是如何刺激心理产生快感的？

\n

这也是恐怖片和灾难片带给你爽感来源之一。

\n
\n

从这个角度，我们对恐惧事物的渴望，某种程度上可以看作是一种对生命感受的追求。

\n

在安全之上的现代社会，强烈的恐惧感成为少数还能让我们感受到「真实活着」的情绪之一。

\n

我们对恐惧事物的渴望，可能是对平庸生活的一种反抗——即使是最糟糕的结果，也比虚无的日常更有意义感。

\n

甚至有时我们会期待灾难，因为只有灾难才能打破我们无力自行摆脱的生活僵局。

\n
\n

想要消除这种心理悖论，你可以考虑以下方法：

\n
    \n
  1. 承认恐惧与渴望恐惧的发生本身就可以共存，不必急于解决矛盾。
    2. \n
  2. 试着将你的情绪具像化，用具体的描述来代替抽象的恐惧，区分真实的风险与想象的灾难。
    3. \n
  3. 探究自己恐惧事物背后的象征意义，而不要仅停留在表面。
    4. \n
  4. 将你的精力投向切实可控的小目标，打破灾难想象的链条。
    5. \n
\n

总而言之，我们对恐惧事物的渴望，也许只是对某种生活状态的渴望，而那种恐惧的事物，不过是恰好与之关联的符号罢了。

\n

这种矛盾心理描述的是一种存在主义真相：人类既害怕变化，又厌倦停滞；既渴望安全，又向往刺激。在这些矛盾中纠结摇摆，本身就是我们活着的证明。

Vocational undergraduate programs, which combine advanced technical skills with bachelor's degrees, are experiencing a significant surge in admission scores as high achievers in the national college entrance examination, or gaokao, are increasingly leaning toward professional education instead of pursuing purely academic courses.

\n

He Xianyi, from Zhuji Middle School in Zhejiang province, scored 604 points out of a total of 750 in this year's gaokao, which qualified her for many reputable universities. However, she chose to apply for the directed training program for noncommissioned officers at Wuchang Polytechnic College in Wuhan, Hubei province.

\n

While her unconventional decision sparked heated online discussions, with many perceiving a bachelor's degree as superior to a vocational qualification, He begged to differ.

\n

"Scores are just numbers," she told local newspaper Hubei Daily. "I feel there's no inherent superiority or inferiority between undergraduate and vocational college programs. What suits you best and benefits your future development is what matters most."

\n

She emphasized that studying at a prestigious university solely for its reputation, especially if it meant pursuing an undesirable major, was less appealing to her than choosing a path aligned with her passion and goals.

\n

Inspired by her uncle, a 12-year military veteran, He has wanted to join the military since high school. "I've heard voices of doubt before, but I don't pay much attention to them," she added.

\n

If data recorded by Shenzhen Polytechnic University in Guangdong province is anything to go by, this shift has extended beyond individual cases to become a phenomenon.

\n

After the institution upgraded to a vocational university from vocational college in 2023, its top physics stream admission score reached 595, which is competitive with major traditional universities. This year, the physics admission score surged to 617, surpassing that of many prominent institutions.

\n

Vocational undergraduate institutions in Zhejiang also saw record-high admission scores, with Jinhua University of Vocational Technology seeking a top admission score of 621 — a historic high for similar institutions in the province.

\n

The rise of vocational undergraduate education is reflecting a systemic shift, and China now has 87 vocational undergraduate universities. After the State Council, China's Cabinet, issued a guideline in 2019 to initiate pilot programs for vocational education at the undergraduate level, 51 of these institutions — 28 public ones and 23 private — have successfully enrolled students.

\n

Sun Tongyu, vice-president of Shandong Vocational University of Foreign Affairs, noted that since the institution began enrolling students for its vocational undergraduate programs in 2019, it has cultivated more than 10,000 graduates across three graduating classes, most of whom have secured satisfactory employment.

\n

The university's total annual enrollment for both vocational and bachelor's degree programs has surpassed 10,000 over the past three years, demonstrating the strong appeal of vocational education, he said.

\n

This robust interest has driven up the university's admission scores for vocational courses, which now exceed the entry score for undergraduate programs by 20 to 40 points, Sun said.

\n

"Most young people and their parents choose vocational education because it promises stronger employment prospects. We can assure them that all our students are able to secure decent jobs immediately after graduation," he said.

\n

The institution has established over 300 vocational training centers in collaboration with enterprises, with many courses centered around hands-on training.

\n

"Students here are very practical. They don't come seeking university prestige; they choose us to learn practical skills and get a job," Sun added.

Feng Wenjing, who graduated from the Shandong university in June with a major in English, now works at a new-energy company in Beijing.

\n

Abudu Xiamier sits in front of a portrait of himself in the guesthouse on June 13.

\n

It was nearly 9:30 pm, but the sky above the Pamir Plateau still held the soft glow of the setting sun. In the far west of China, where the borders of Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan converge, twilight lingers a little longer.

\n

Inside a cozy guesthouse in Tashikurgan Tajik autonomous county, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, 31-year-old Abudu Xiamier was teaching a young couple from Tangshan, a city in northern China's Hebei province, the traditional Tajik eagle dance. With steady, sweeping arm movements, he mimicked the flight of an eagle — strong, graceful, and free.

\n

For the Tajik people, eagles are not mere symbols; they are living metaphors for heroism, honesty, and strength. The eagle dance, an art form passed down through generations, was officially recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2006.

\n

Xiamier's guesthouse is more than a hostel — it is a living museum of culture and memory. A wooden clock carved in the shape of an eagle hangs in a prominent spot. Traditional instruments like the rabab (lute-like instrument) and setar (string instrument) rest in the corners, while richly colored carpets from different decades cover the walls. In one corner hangs a deep red rug from the 1960s — used at his grandfather's wedding, and preserved ever since.

\n

Born and raised in this high-altitude land, Xiamier once left to chase a dream. At 13, he traveled nearly 4,000 kilometers to Zhangjiakou in northern China to study dance. At 17, he was admitted to Minzu University of China — one of the nation's top universities — where he trained to become a professional performer. "Many of my seniors didn't make it, but I did," he recalled with pride.

\n

After graduation in 2015, he joined the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Art Troupe, gracing stages across the region and beyond. His guesthouse walls now display over 20 performance badges from that chapter of his life — each one a relic of a dance, a tour, a city, a moment. "In total, I have over 2,000 of these," he said, smiling.

\n

But in 2021, everything changed. A severe injury during a performance forced him to leave the stage. While recovering in Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang, his parents traveled more than 1,700 kilometers from Tashikurgan to care for him. "They wanted me to come home," he said. And he did.

\n

With their support, he transformed his grandfather's old house into a guesthouse that blends Tajik tradition with modern hospitality. The inspiration came from his travels, particularly his stays in guesthouses in the Xizang autonomous region, where he once danced and shared stories late into the night with the host and other guests.

\n

His younger brother, Xiakeer, born in 2000, also found his way back to Tashikurgan after studying in Xiamen, a coastal city more than 4,000 km away in Fujian province. "Things are changing fast here," he said. "We used to travel 300 km to Kashgar for many essentials. Now, most of what we need is available right here in the county."

\n

Indeed, infrastructure and tourism have reshaped this remote corner of Xinjiang. In 2022, the Tashikurgan Khunjerab Airport opened, becoming the region's first high-plateau airport. Visitors now flock here to witness the stunning Pamir landscapes and experience Tajik culture firsthand.

\n

Xiamier said that he sometimes misses the stage — the spotlight, the energy, the audience. "But life now is also full of meaning," he said. "I meet people from all over China — some are curious about Tajik customs, others are fascinated by the structure of our old houses, or the intricate wood carvings. Many say it reminds them of their childhood."

\n

In the evenings, the guesthouse comes alive with laughter, music, and dancing. Xiamier, once a professional performer on national stages, now plays traditional instruments he taught himself — rabab and eagle flute — and invites guests to join in. The warmth of the room, bathed in amber light, becomes a space of connection: between past and present, tradition and reinvention, guest and host.

India will keep purchasing oil from Russia despite the United States administration's threats of penalties, according to a Reuters report.

\n

Considering that came shortly after the US president said on Friday that he had heard that India would no longer be buying oil from Russia, that might further strain the ongoing trade talks between the US and India.

\n

Their trade talks have also been bogged down by issues including access to what the US administration says is India's "highly protected" agriculture and dairy sector.

\n

But considering that there is no question of New Delhi compromising on India's agriculture and dairy sectors, especially as it will not allow imports of dairy products due to religion-based opposition to animal feed in these products, even US officials think the differences between the two countries will not be easily resolved.

\n

The US' dealmaking with some other major economies is also not going smoothly. Since news of the US-EU framework deal was announced last month, not only has criticism mounted, but it has become clear that many details are yet to be ironed out, as the BBC pointed out in a report.

\n

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen seemed to rejoice at the announcement that a 15 percent tariff would be applied on most EU exports to the US. Yet, although that is lower than the 30 percent tariff initially threatened by the US, it is still more than three times the previous 4.8 percent average rate.

\n

With both sides still wrangling over the details, the EU and the US have not released an official statement on the framework deal. Even if these are resolved, the European Commission has emphasized the statement will not be legally binding but a "set of political commitments".

\n

In response to the discontent of many of its member states, Brussels can only try and comfort them by saying that the framework deal has at least prevented the escalation of the trade tensions with the US.

\n

The US side said the EU will invest heavily in the country, and buy more US oil and gas as part of the agreed framework deal. But scaling up further in these sectors — about 80 percent of EU defense spending goes to the US now — means the bloc will put all its eggs in one basket in both security and the economy.

\n

That is at odds with Von der Leyen's recent ReArm Europe plan, which calls for investments in Europe's domestic defense industry, as well as the EU's de-risking economic policy orientation.

\n

No wonder French President Emmanuel Macron said: "To be free, you have to be feared... We have not been feared enough. There is a greater urgency than ever to accelerate the European agenda for sovereignty and competitiveness."

\n

As some observers point out, the EU might roll out some compensation for EU exporters, but that would end up costing taxpayers, resulting in Europeans paying the price of US tariffs.

\n

Likewise, although the US has announced remarkable progress has been made in its trade talks with different economies, how much its "victory" can at last be finalized in the form of other economies opening their markets for US goods while enabling the US to raise tax rates on their exports to the US remains to be seen.

\n

While the US has effectively wielded tariffs as a cudgel, as the Associated Press noted, to reset the terms of trade, the economic impact is uncertain as most economists expect a slowdown in US growth and greater inflationary pressures as some of the costs of the taxes are passed along to domestic businesses and consumers.

\n

Moreover, the administration's attempts to bind its tariff war with its geopolitical purposes, including the Ukraine crisis, only serve to make the situation more complicated and threaten to derail not only its trade talks with certain economies but also the solution of related burning issues.

\n

A tariff war does not have a victor. Waging a tariff war against the rest of the world will not raise the US' tariff revenues, and cannot help offset the budget deficit increases or create jobs, two stated objectives of the administration.

\n

Accounting for about 17 percent of the world's goods trade, the US is overestimating its capability to lever change in the world's trade rules by simply wielding a tariff baton. Let alone the fact that it has not introduced any practical rules in the process so far except a protectionist, unilateral and exploitative approach under the cover of the "art of the deal".

The author is a senior editor of the economy section of Gestión, a newspaper published from Peru.

\n

China has found a creative way to manage its e-commerce chain beyond its borders. The impact of Chinese e-commerce on countries of the Global South is visible in more ways than one. In particular, Chinese e-commerce brands have had a huge impact on Peru, my country, within a short span of time.

\n

Temu entered the Peruvian market last year. In less than a year, it is close to becoming the leader in this sector in the country. Data from the Peruvian Chamber of Electronic Commerce (CAPECE in Spanish) show that Chile's Falabella was the most visited marketplace last year, with 22 million page views a month.

\n

Temu was second on the list with 21.9 million page visits — and it achieved that in less than one year. In third place was AliExpress with 16.3 million monthly page views.

\n

CAPECE also said that Shein, another important Chinese marketplace, had increased its presence in Peru in the last quarter of 2024.

\n

I'm pretty sure the situation is similar in other countries of the Global South, with China helping stabilize cross-border e-commerce.

\n

Temu's success can be attributed to its relatively low product prices, special 24-hour services and inbuilt app games that allow you to get even bigger discounts. Temu's success is all the more surprising because it has succeeded in prompting Peruvian people to loosen their purse strings despite their inherent tendency and traditional culture to save. We Peruvians love to say, "el dinero no sobra" (there is no money to spare), because in general, salaries in Peru are low and a good percentage of the country's population is relatively poor.

\n

The most recent data from the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI in Spanish) show the average monthly salary in 2024 was 1,196 soles ($335) — only a few soles more than the minimum wage in Peru: 1,130 soles (about $317). The amount was increased by Dina Boluarte's government at the beginning of this year.

\n

Also, according to the INEI, 27.6 percent of Peru's population was living in poverty in 2024, with 31.8 percent (about 10.8 million people) being "vulnerable" to poverty, meaning they were in danger of slipping into poverty.

\n

In 2019, that is, before the COVID-19 pandemic, however, only about 20.2 percent of the Peruvian population was living in poverty. This means the pandemic increased the number of poor in the country.

\n

But what do e-commerce platforms such as Temu, AliExpress and Shein have to do with all this? These platforms offer inexpensive products, often with discounts, which the poor Peruvians can afford to buy to meet their needs. In fact, they offer a variety of products, some of which Peruvians might not have seen before.

\n

The growth of Chinese cross-border e-commerce in the Global South is difficult to estimate, but there is no doubt they are continuing to grow — and Peru is proof of that.

\n

The Chancay Port, built by China COSCO Shipping Corporation under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, was inaugurated in November last year, with Chinese President Xi Jinping attending the inauguration ceremony. The port is set to revolutionize trade in the Asia-Pacific region, especially between South America and Asia, by significantly reducing transit time and costs. For example, it has significantly reduced shipping time between Peru and Shanghai.

\n

As a matter of fact, Sunat, which is the Peruvian tax and customs authority, reported that the revenue from merchandise shipping at the Chancay Port in the first five months of 2025 was more than $777 million. Sunat also said that between January and May, 4,552 export declarations were processed, of which 71 percent were from the Netherlands, Spain, the United States, Chile and China.

\n

The initial reports on Chancay Port's impact suggest it is on way to becoming a shipping hub and distribution center for all of South America. Temu, AliExpress and Shein can take advantage of this development to expand their businesses in this part of the world.

\n

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

The four newly launched astronauts (center) pose with other crew members during a welcome ceremony on Saturday at the International Space Station.

\n

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida — SpaceX delivered a fresh crew to the International Space Station on Saturday.

\n

The four US, Russian and Japanese astronauts pulled up in their SpaceX capsule after launching from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. They will spend at least six months at the orbiting lab, swapping places with colleagues who have been there since March. SpaceX will bring those four back as early as Wednesday.

\n

Moving in are NASA's Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japan's Kimiya Yui and Russia's Oleg Platonov — each of whom had been originally assigned to other missions. "Hello, space station!" Fincke radioed as soon as the capsule docked high above the South Pacific.

\n

Cardman and another astronaut were pulled from a SpaceX flight last year to make room for NASA's two stuck astronauts, Boeing Starliner test pilots Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, whose space station stay went from one week to more than nine months.

\n

Fincke and Yui had been training for the next Starliner mission. But with Starliner grounded by thruster and other problems until 2026, the two switched to SpaceX.

\n

Platonov was bumped from the Soyuz launch lineup a couple of years ago because of an undisclosed illness.

\n

Their arrival temporarily puts the space station population at 11.

\n

"It was such an unbelievably beautiful sight to see the space station come into our view for the first time," Cardman said once on board.

\n

While the flight, in 15 hours, was speedy by US standards, the Russians hold the record for the fastest trip to the space station — a lightning-fast three hours, AP reported.

\n

During their stay aboard the orbiting laboratory, the astronauts will support a range of scientific research and technology demonstrations. Their tasks include simulating lunar landings, testing vision protection strategies, and conducting studies to improve human health and performance in space.

\n

The crew will also study plant cell division and microgravity's effects on bacteria-killing viruses, and perform experiments to produce a higher volume of human stem cells and generate on-demand nutrients, according to NASA.

\n

The ISS is set to be decommissioned after 2030, with its orbit gradually lowered until it breaks up in the atmosphere over a remote part of the Pacific Ocean called Point Nemo, a spacecraft graveyard.

The air in Suzhou, Anhui province, was stuffy as our bus rolled into the city's high-tech zone. However, I soon found myself energized by the hum of servers and the buzz of innovation, instead of wilting in the oppressive summer heat.

\n

I came to Suzhou — not the famed city in Jiangsu province, but the one in Anhui province — to visit the computing power industrial park.

\n

On the surface, it might have seemed like an unlikely place to take the pulse of China's digital future. But once inside, standing among towering rows of sleek black server cabinets, it became clear: Suzhou is quietly becoming one of the beating hearts of China's push to become a computing powerhouse.

\n

Meng Bin, deputy head of Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Science and Technology, explained that the facility houses thousands of high-performance servers capable of performing complex calculations.

\n

At 10 PFlops, which equates to 10 quadrillion floating-point operations per second, the system here can predict the path of a typhoon in just 15 minutes.

\n

The significance of that number hit home as I recalled the anxious eyes on weather apps during extreme weather. At a time when seconds can mean the difference between disruption and disaster, speed matters.

\n

Suzhou's pivot from traditional industries to high-tech innovation has been both bold. Back in 2011, Suzhou recognized the opportunity to integrate into China's national strategy for data, dubbed "east-data-west-computing".

\n

That foresight laid the foundation for what has become one of the largest computing power hubs in eastern China. Today, the city boasts a computing power scale of 15P in supercomputing and a staggering 2,320P in intelligent computing, among the top in Anhui province.

\n

At the core of this rise is connectivity.

\n

Suzhou sits at the crossroads of four provinces — Anhui, Jiangsu, Henan, and Shandong — making it a key node. It is also one of China's five national-level quantum communication hubs.

\n

In 2021, the city completed a dual-routing transmission line directly to Shanghai, slashing latency from 35 milliseconds to just 5. This brought Suzhou's network performance on par with Shanghai.

\n

The scale of Suzhou's computing power industrial park is hard to ignore. It now comprises five data centers built to T3 plus specifications, with some customized rooms hitting the T4 gold standard, both of which are among the highest standards in the industry.

\n

And companies have responded.

\n

In the past two years, six major computing centers have moved in. Clients range from elite universities like Tsinghua University and Peking University to leading AI firms like Zhipu AI.

\n

Even more telling is who's choosing to stay.

\n

In 2023, Shenzhen-based robotics company UBTECH Robotics invested 180 million yuan ($25.1 million) to build a center here. The first phase, a 4,200-square-meter facility, is already complete and operational. Suzhou is no longer just attracting computation, but also keeping the talent and startups that need it.

\n

"We've had professors and AI experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and even the National University of Defense Technology set up companies right here in Suzhou," Meng noted.

\n

In 2024, the city's AI industry collectively generated 908 million yuan in revenue — a figure that would've been unthinkable even a few years ago in this part of Anhui.

\n

As we stepped out of the server rooms, the heat hit us again. But Meng turned and gestured toward the horizon.

\n

"Suzhou is not just chasing the future," Meng said. "We're building it — cloud by cloud, byte by byte."

\n

It's a bold claim, but not an empty one. The city's ambition is to brand itself as "China's cloud capital" — and if the current momentum continues, that tagline might just stick.

\n

Before I left, I asked what the next five years would bring. Meng didn't hesitate: "We'll keep following the wind of the era — riding the cloud, accelerating with data, and leading with computing power."

\n

After a day surrounded by blinking servers and surging data, I thought that Suzhou may not yet be a household name in China's digital economy, but from where I stood, the signal was strong, the latency low, and the future, unmistakably fast.

WeRide is operating an autonomous taxi service in Saudi Arabia in partnership with Uber.

\n

Chinese autonomous driving technology provider WeRide announced that its Robotaxi has received the first approval for autonomous driving in Saudi Arabia last week, a milestone that makes it the only tech company globally with autonomous driving-approved products in six countries.

\n

The other five are China, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, France, and the United States.

\n

With this license, the Guangzhou-headquartered company gained permission to operate autonomous driving services in Saudi Arabia and operate Robotaxi services nationwide. It has partnered with US peer Uber and local collaborator AiDriver for pilot operations in Riyadh, which started in early July.

\n

A full-scale commercial Robotaxi service is expected to launch by the end of 2025 through a partnership between WeRide and Uber, allowing passengers to hail WeRide Robotaxis via the Uber app.

\n

WeRide is the first autonomous vehicle technology company whose Robotaxi has completed the Transport General Authority's Regulatory Sandbox for AV Piloting in Saudi Arabia.

\n

The approval process, conducted in coordination with multiple government agencies, includes rigorous testing, assessments, and technology validation to secure the Robotaxi autonomous driving permit, to ensure the highest standards of safety and performance, according to the company.

\n

"This permit marks a major step in our global expansion, enabling us to scale Robotaxi services and unlock new commercial opportunities in Saudi Arabia," said Jennifer Li, CFO and head of International at WeRide.

\n

"It drives large-scale deployment, unlocks new revenue streams, and reinforces our commitment to making autonomous mobility a reality worldwide," Li added.

\n

WeRide's presence in Saudi Arabia — the Middle East's largest economy — dates back to May, when it began testing and operating its Robobus — a Level-4 autonomous vehicle — in key locations. Designed to suit the region's hot climate, the vehicle operates at parks, large-scale hotels and tourist attractions.

\n

Its Robosweeper S1 is also in operation in the country, marking the first profitable autonomous driving sanitation project in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East region, tapping into a $12.5 billion global market for smart waste management.

\n

Diversifying its product lineup helps mitigate volatility in autonomous vehicle adoption. Even if Robotaxi growth slows, sanitation and logistics offerings ensure a steady cash flow, industry experts said.

\n

The company's WeRide One platform, capable of delivering L2-L4 automation, also future-proofs its business by adapting to evolving regulatory and consumer demands.

\n

Furthermore, these deployments align with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which aims to build smart, sustainable cities by enhancing road safety, improving traffic management, and introducing innovative, technology-driven mobility solutions.

\n

WeRide's Robotaxis and Robobuses support its push to develop a smart, sustainable transport infrastructure for residents and the growing number of visitors.

\n

Beyond Saudi Arabia, the WeRide-Uber Robotaxi fleet in Abu Dhabi has tripled in size since the joint launch in December 2024, covering about 50 percent of the city's core area. WeRide-Uber aims to continue growing the fleet to hundreds of Robotaxis in Abu Dhabi alone.

\n

Featuring WeRide's new GXR model, each vehicle is expected to average dozens of trips per day during a 12-hour shift, with rides typically exceeding six kilometers, according to WeRide.

\n

The company maintains over 2,200 days of safe Robotaxi operations, it said.

\n

The Nasdaq-listed company reported on Thursday that its total revenue grew 60.8 percent year-on-year to 127.2 million yuan ($17.8 million) in the second quarter of this year, demonstrating accelerating commercial momentum.

\n

The revenue soared 836.7 percent to 45.9 million yuan during the period, the highest-ever quarterly Robotaxi revenue since company inception.

\n

Tony Han, CEO of WeRide, said: "Our commercial success reflects the strength of our advanced technology, with the latest Nvidia Drive AGX Thor Chips-powered HPC 3.0 platform deployed on our GXR Robotaxi — setting new benchmarks for scalable, high-performance autonomous driving."

A customer tastes a freshly arrived Dongkui waxberry from Zhejiang province at a restaurant in Frankfurt, Germany, in June.

\n

HANGZHOU/BERLIN — How long does it take for perishable waxberries to travel over 9,000 kilometers from a tree branch in rural China to a dining table in Germany? Just 48 hours.

\n

In a quiet Frankfurt neighborhood earlier in June, bowls of fresh, jewel-like waxberries glistened with condensation. Curious locals gathered around, drawn by the fruit's deep red hue and glossy sheen. Many enjoyed tasting it for the first time.

\n

"It's unlike anything I've had before," says a German customer, visibly surprised by his first bite. "It's tangy, sweet, very flavorful, and definitely exotic, in the best way."

\n

For others, the taste evokes a sense of nostalgia. "Waxberries were my favorite fruit growing up. The ones I tasted today in Frankfurt are exactly like the ones from my hometown," says Zheng Jianguo, a Chinese national who has lived in Germany for 25 years.

\n

Just 48 hours earlier, these plump, juicy Dongkui waxberries, known for their large size and high sugar content, were clinging to branches at an orchard in Wencheng county, Zhejiang province.

\n

It was early dawn in midsummer, and layers of mist drifted across the terraced slopes as the sun quietly rose. At 6 am, a delivery worker carefully loaded boxes of freshly packed waxberries onto a refrigerated truck. With the clock ticking, the vehicle began racing to the airport, marking the first leg of a 9,000-km journey.

\n

"This shipment marks the first batch of Dongkui waxberries from Wencheng to be exported overseas in 2025, and the first time they're being shipped to Frankfurt," says Zhao Chengdong, a senior official with Wencheng county's Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.

\n

To ensure peak freshness, waxberries are swiftly harvested, sorted, packaged, pre-cooled, and transported under tightly controlled cold-chain conditions. " (To transport) fresh fruit is a race against time, and waxberries are especially delicate," Zhao notes. "From orchard to export, every step must be executed with precision."

\n

In recent years, with strong support from the local government, many farmers in Wencheng have embraced advanced techniques in both waxberry cultivation and post-harvest handling.

\n

Among them is Zhao Hanming, head of the Xinmo'er family farm, who leveraged upgraded technology and facilities to successfully register his farm this year as a certified export fruit packaging site. He was also tasked with preparing the waxberries for the shipment to Germany.

\n

"The waxberries are sealed using nitrogen-flush technology, a method that replaces oxygen inside the packaging with nitrogen to slow oxidation and spoiling," Zhao Hanming says. "This helps the berries stay fresh for up to 10 days under refrigeration, allowing customers in Germany to enjoy a taste that's nearly as fresh as the day they were picked in China."

\n

Within four hours after landing at Frankfurt Airport, the waxberries passed inspection, cleared customs, and were ready for market.

\n

Waxberries are one of Wencheng's key agricultural products, and their cultivation supports over 22,000 local farmers.

\n

As output grows, so does the goal to reach overseas markets. In recent years, Wencheng waxberries have been exported to countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Cambodia, Italy, and Spain, gradually establishing a presence beyond Asia.

\n

"Next, we plan to bring high-quality yams and glass noodles from Wencheng to tables around the world," says Zhao Chengdong, the senior official.

The torch for the 15th National Games and 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities was officially unveiled on Saturday.

\n

The torch for China's 15th National Games and 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities, along with the 9th National Special Olympics, was officially unveiled on Saturday.

\n

Named "Blossom", the torch's design embodies the shared Lingnan cultural heritage of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, symbolizing the "three regions as one family".

\n

He Ye, the lead designer for the torch, explained that the core design philosophy of "Blossom" is "fusion" and "glory", representing "exchange and integration" and "shared prosperity".

\n

From a top-down view, the torch's flame nozzle forms the wave-like shape of the Games' emblem, with the Guangdong kapok, Hong Kong bauhinia, and Macao lotus flowers intertwined, representing the innovative spirit of the Greater Bay Area.

\n

The torch's body features a streamlined metal frame and a peony pattern at its base, symbolizing the three regions' unity and prosperity.

\n

The gold-colored torch stands 760 millimeters tall, weighs 1.6 kilograms, and has a diameter of 125mm at the flame port.

\n

Using a modular design, the main body of the torch is crafted from high-strength 3D-printed stainless steel and temperature-resistant aluminum alloy.

\n

The unveiling ceremony in the South China metropolis of Shenzhen, Guangdong province, was part of the Games' 100-day countdown celebration, which also introduced the official victory ceremony music, podium attire and medals for the para sports games.

\n

The victory ceremony music, which will be played during medal presentations, incorporates elements of the famous Lingnan melody Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon.

\n

The podium attire, primarily pink, is a modern take on the mamianqun, or the horse-faced skirt, a distinctive hanfu style known for its high, flat front and pleated sides.

\n

A highlight of the design is a single peony embroidered on the skirt, inspired by Yue embroidery, one of China's four great embroidery styles. The "United Warmth "medals for the para games were also revealed.

\n

The 15th National Games of China will be jointly hosted by Guangdong province, Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions from Nov 9 to 21.

\n

China's latest efforts to promote large-scale commercial application of artificial intelligence will bolster industrial upgrades and inject strong momentum into high-quality economic growth, creating immense business opportunities for investors amid external uncertainties, said experts and company executives.

\n

Emphasizing that AI has become an important driving force for a new round of scientific and technological revolution, they said the country's superlarge market, technological prowess and thriving innovation ecosystem underpin its capacity to drive the fast-evolving technologies from research labs into the industrial arena.

\n

Their comments came after a State Council executive meeting on Thursday approved a guideline on implementing the "AI Plus" initiative, calling for vigorously advancing the large-scale commercial application of AI and boosting its accelerated popularization and deep integration across various fields of economic and social development.

\n

Su Jian, a professor of the School of Economics at Peking University, said that as a "disruptive" technology, AI will not only reshape production and people's lifestyles, but also serve as the main battlefield for technological competition among the world's major economies.

\n

"AI will penetrate into a wide range of sectors, such as manufacturing and services, restructure production processes and improve efficiency," Su said, highlighting that China's emphasis on the implementation of the "AI Plus" initiative complies with the trend of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and will help the country gain a competitive edge in strategic emerging industries.

\n

He noted that the core of the "AI Plus" initiative lies in integrating technological innovation with large-scale application, while calling for efforts to step up investment in fundamental research, make breakthroughs in crucial technologies, such as core algorithms and high-end computing power, and have a bigger say in formulating global AI governance rules.

\n

"Deeply implementing the 'AI Plus' initiative and strengthening the extensive and in-depth integration of AI with various fields will facilitate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, help foster strategic emerging industries and future-oriented industries, and enable all humanity to share the dividends of AI development," said Xu Zhaoyuan, a researcher at the Development Research Center of the State Council.

Xu said the guideline has clarified the future development path of the AI industry and accurately responded to market concerns, as the country has recognized AI as essential to fostering new quality productive forces and activating new growth drivers.

\n

The State Council meeting also stressed the need to optimize the innovation ecosystem of AI, strengthen the supply of computing power, algorithms and data, increase policy support, reinforce the construction of talent teams and build an open-source system to provide strong support for the AI industry's development.

\n

China's AI sector will make big strides in the next 10 to 15 years, with its market size reaching 1.73 trillion yuan ($239.9 billion) by 2035, accounting for 30.6 percent of the global total, according to market research company CCID Consulting.

\n

Noting that AI technology is witnessing rapid iteration and explosive growth, Zhu Keli, founding director of the China Institute of New Economy, said it is of vital significance to boost its application in diversified scenarios and fields, and accelerate the integration of AI with the real economy.

\n

Zhu emphasized that China's complete industrial system, vast consumer market and abundant industrial application scenarios present unique advantages for the development of AI, a tech frontier in which all major economies are scrambling to establish a beachhead.

\n

"The adoption of AI can reduce production costs, improve the quality of products and optimize resource allocation, thus bringing about huge economic benefits. For instance, AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment technology can elevate the accuracy of diagnosis," he said.

\n

Zhou Hongyi, founder of Chinese internet enterprise 360 Security Group, said he was very inspired by the guideline on boosting the large-scale commercial application of AI. "The move has demonstrated that the country attaches great importance to AI development, and set a clear direction for the AI industry."

\n

The launch of the guideline will promote the adoption and innovation of AI agent technology across a diverse range of sectors, and provide a strong boost to digital transformation across various industries, Zhou said, expecting that more enterprises will engage in the research and development and use of AI agents.

\n

The application of AI in the high-tech manufacturing sector will bring about greater value than its use in terminal products, as AI will significantly enhance the production efficiency and competitiveness of manufacturing, said Li Dongsheng, founder and chairman of Chinese consumer electronics maker TCL Technology Group Corp.

\n

Zhu Minghao, executive director of the high-end manufacturing research center at Beijing Jiaotong University, said the implementation of the "AI Plus" initiative will bolster the development of large language models, AI agents, intelligent robots and AI chips, propel the high-level application of data and enhance the country's competitiveness in the global AI domain.

China's latest efforts to promote large-scale commercial application of artificial intelligence will bolster industrial upgrades and inject strong momentum into high-quality economic growth, creating immense business opportunities for investors amid external uncertainties, said experts and company executives.

\n

Emphasizing that AI has become an important driving force for a new round of scientific and technological revolution, they said the country's superlarge market, technological prowess and thriving innovation ecosystem underpin its capacity to drive the fast-evolving technologies from research labs into the industrial arena.

\n

Their comments came after a State Council executive meeting on Thursday approved a guideline on implementing the "AI Plus" initiative, calling for vigorously advancing the large-scale commercial application of AI and boosting its accelerated popularization and deep integration across various fields of economic and social development.

\n

Su Jian, a professor of the School of Economics at Peking University, said that as a "disruptive" technology, AI will not only reshape production and people's lifestyles, but also serve as the main battlefield for technological competition among the world's major economies.

\n

"AI will penetrate into a wide range of sectors, such as manufacturing and services, restructure production processes and improve efficiency," Su said, highlighting that China's emphasis on the implementation of the "AI Plus" initiative complies with the trend of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and will help the country gain a competitive edge in strategic emerging industries.

\n

He noted that the core of the "AI Plus" initiative lies in integrating technological innovation with large-scale application, while calling for efforts to step up investment in fundamental research, make breakthroughs in crucial technologies, such as core algorithms and high-end computing power, and have a bigger say in formulating global AI governance rules.

\n

People attend an exhibition commemorating British journalist and educator George Hogg in Harpenden, a town in Hertfordshire county of England, on July 22. Hogg dedicated his life to supporting China's war against Japanese aggression 80 years ago.

\n

Editor's note: This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War. This series of special reports by China Daily presents how and why China cherishes and keeps revisiting the wartime friendship with its foreign friends.

\n

Eighty years ago, 30-year-old British journalist and educator George Hogg actively engaged in China's fight against Japanese invaders and gave his young life when leading a transfer of Chinese students to a safer place in northwestern China's Gansu province in 1945.

\n

His sacrifice was not long before the surrender of the Japanese army and the end of World War II that year.

\n

In 1938, Hogg arrived in China and first worked as a journalist for media outlets amid the heat of the war.

\n

During President Xi Jinping's state visit to the United Kingdom in 2015, he mentioned the story of Hogg when addressing a grand welcoming banquet hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.

\n

Xi praised Hogg for earnestly devoting himself to the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), noting that Hogg wrote articles unveiling Japanese invaders' atrocities.

\n

As allies in World War II, China and the UK saw their peoples exchanging support and sharing weal and woe, which wrote a wonderful chapter in the history of China-UK friendship, Xi said.

\n

Hogg's book, I See a New China, was well received overseas for featuring what he saw and heard about all walks of life in the nation, many being homeless.

\n

"I See a New China is the story of the Chinese common man, hungry and oppressed … and yet ever patient, hardworking and ingenious," said a book review by Mark Gayn in the New York Times on July 2, 1944.

\n

Hogg's footprints covered many parts of China, including war-torn frontlines and Shaanxi province's Yan'an, which was a revolutionary base of the Communist Party of China.

\n

He joined the Chinese Industrial Cooperatives and later became headmaster of the Bailie School in Shuangshipu in Shaanxi, a school focused on vocational education for young people to help build sectors such as textiles and machinery.

\n

The rising tension of war forced the school to relocate, and Hogg oversaw and escorted the relocation of the students and essential machinery to Shandan in Gansu province in 1944. They trekked on the slopes of the mountainous terrain while enduring snow and storms.

\n

Calling Hogg "an old friend of the Chinese people", Jiang Jiang, vice-president of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, said, "Hogg's footsteps serve as a vivid testament to the friendship between the Chinese and British people, as well as a profound interpretation of a shared future for humanity."

\n

During a visit to China earlier this year, Mark Aylwin Thomas, a nephew of Hogg and author of the biography Blades of Grass: The Story of George Aylwin Hogg, tried trekking like his uncle did more than 80 years ago.

\n

"We were walking freely, with all of our baggage in the cars accompanying us, but they were hauling wheelbarrows, and helping the little horses and mules pulling these huge carts with 20 tons of essential machinery. They were pushing through very steep slopes. It was a very arduous time," he said.

\n

Contribution honored

\n

An exhibition commemorating Hogg kicked off last week in his hometown of Harpenden, a town in Hertfordshire, an English county neighboring London.

\n

David Richard Kendall, a trustee of the Harpenden & District Local History Society, said the key of such exhibitions is to educate people about what Hogg achieved, as Hogg "is not well-known in England but is very well-known in China".

\n

"We cover what he did as a journalist, in helping establish cooperative factories, and in educating and rescuing Chinese orphans from the Japanese invaders," Kendall said.

\n

Hogg's contribution as a volunteer "is inspirational for younger people, as they can see that you can contribute to the lives of others in such a big way even though you are only in your twenties, which is what George Hogg was," he added.

\n

Speaking about why Hogg's story endures over time, Kendall said, "In very, very hard circumstances, he achieved a great deal. The thing that has moved me is when they interviewed his students — men who are now in their 70s, 80s or 90s — (the students said) how much he contributed to their lives as an educator."

\n

When asked about how to better engage young people to carry forward the friendship, Zoe Reed, former chair of the Society for Anglo-Chinese Understanding, or SACU, said, "Young people who joined SACU said the China portrayed in Western media is not the China they experienced when they came and lived or studied here for a year."

\n

She noted that engaging the youth is quite complicated and said, "Formal occasions would not particularly attract young students, but showing the fun times people have in Beijing, the good stuff in Shanghai — this will attract and encourage people to want to come."

\n

Reed said, "The world may get more complicated politically, but we can always build bridges of understanding at the people-to-people level."

\n

In a social media post last week, Zheng Zeguang, Chinese ambassador to the UK, wrote, "As the 80th anniversary of WWII approaches, George Hogg's legacy reminds us: true friendship knows no borders — and history still speaks."

China now accounts for some 30 percent of global manufacturing output, almost equal to the entire G7 member states' combined share. And its share is still growing.

\n

To truly understand this shift, though, we have to leave behind old stereotypes. The image of China as merely the "world's factory" churning out inexpensive toys and knockoff electronics is outdated. Today's China has an industrial system that is expansive, deep and remarkably adaptive.

\n

China has an advantage in not just one thing. It enjoys advantages in raw materials, advanced manufacturing, scale, speed and integration — and its manufacturing prowess rests on a foundation that is both broad and deep.

\n

From steel, cement and aluminum to rare earth elements, China enjoys unmatched scale and cost efficiency, ensuring stable supplies that underpin industrial security. In sectors such as solar photovoltaic panels, lithium-ion batteries, electric vehicles (EVs) and consumer electronics, China has advanced beyond mere participation in to shaping global supply chains and export markets. Even in traditional, labor-intensive industries — clothing, toys, home appliances, furniture — it has managed to keep its production costs competitive because of its expanding automation and production capacities.

\n

More important, China is rapidly moving up the value chain in equipment manufacturing, from high-speed railways and EVs to industrial robots and advanced machinery, transforming itself from a mid-tier manufacturing powerhouse to a serious player in high-end equipment.

\n

Sure, there are still areas such as advanced chips, aircraft engines and high-end medical devices in which the United States continues to enjoy an edge. But China is closing the gap thanks to its increased investment in R&D and intensive high-tech development. This isn't about confrontation or replacement, but about resilience and standing on one's own feet.

\n

China's journey has been far from easy. Decades ago, its steel production targets were met with skepticism. Yet today, China produces more than 1 billion tons of steel a year, with Hebei province alone producing more steel than many countries due to the country's steely resolve.

\n

China's industrial strength is not only about numbers. It's about security and stability too. In this information age, manufacturing remains a major source of national power, with recent conflicts underscoring the fact that whether a country produces jet fighters, artillery shells or drones, industrial capacity matters.

\n

China's industrial base supports its defense capabilities, with new-generation products like the J-20 fighter jet demonstrating how its homegrown technology has advanced to boost its ability to safeguard national security.

\n

China leads by a wide margin in terms of production of civilian drones, with Guangdong province alone producing about 7 million such drones in 2024.

\n

Even among observers with reservations about China, there's growing recognition that there are development lessons to be learned from China.

\n

In a recent article in The New York Times, Jacob Dreyer, a US writer who's spent nearly two decades in Shanghai, praises China's "far-sighted industrial policy", noting how AI isn't just strengthening the country's defense or high-tech sector, but also improving its education and healthcare systems. Dreyer has also highlighted China's massive investments in clean energy and the fact that its carbon emissions may be peaking.

\n

Dreyer has described Chinese cities as clean, safe and well-connected, with gleaming highways and high-speed railways. His message is clear: don't dismiss China; instead, study it, and learn from its commitment to improve its infrastructure, education, and other systems.

\n

Besides, an article in Foreign Affairs magazine recently said that if the US wants to achieve similar results, it needs to devise a clear-cut industrial strategy. The article cited how Hefei, Anhui province, once underdeveloped, has now become an EV production hub — and even called it "the Detroit of the 21st century".

\n

These aren't small shifts in tone. For years, many in the West viewed China's development model with skepticism, or dismissed it outright by calling it "authoritarian" or "unsustainable". The West's broader narrative often frames things as an ideological rivalry between "democracy" and "authoritarianism", which is incorrect and reflects the West's shortsightedness.

\n

Political systems may differ and their values may be different, but the results are hard to ignore. Whether in EVs, batteries, solar power or shipbuilding, China isn't merely catching up; it's leading.

\n

This shift in perception echoes history. In the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), China underestimated the power of foreign technology and paid a steep price for it. Reformers then argued that "Western learning is necessary for practical use".

\n

Today, the same humility to learn from others is emerging globally. Some Americans suggest combining "American essence and Chinese learning" to derive more mutual benefit, instead of ignoring each other and not capitalizing on the two economies' complementarity.

\n

Of course, China has its own challenges. Issues such as uneven regional development and social pressures aren't going away. But these aren't signs of stagnation. Instead, these are development opportunities.

\n

China's industrial rise is not just China's story. It's a global story that demands global reflection. In a world of shared challenges, openness to learning from one another may be the most important lesson of all.

MOSCOW/KYIV — Russia said it had captured a strategic town in the Donetsk region after nearly 16 months of fighting, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed the claim as "disinformation".

\n

Russia's Defense Ministry said on Thursday that its forces took full control of the strategically important city of Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region.

\n

However, Victor Tregubov, a Ukrainian military spokesman, told The Associated Press that Russia's claim was untrue. "Just a fabrication, there wasn't even a change in the situation," he said.

\n

A report on Thursday from Ukraine's Army General Staff said there were seven clashes in Chasiv Yar in the past 24 hours. An attached map showed most of the town as being under Russian control.

\n

"Ukrainian units are holding our positions," Zelensky said in his daily video address on Thursday evening. "It is not easy, but it is the defense of Ukrainians' very right to life."

\n

Russian and Ukrainian troops have battled for control of Chasiv Yar for nearly 18 months. It includes a hilltop from which troops can attack other key points in the region that form the backbone of Ukraine's eastern defenses.

\n

Meanwhile, in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital city observed a day of mourning after the deadliest attack in the city this year ripped open a nine-story residential building, wounding 159 people and killing 31 people in all.

\n

The latest developments on the battlefield come as a top Ukrainian official said that Kyiv's partners had "confirmed positive signals" about imminent White House pressure on Moscow.

\n

"Our partners confirmed positive signals from the White House regarding firm actions against the Russian Federation — particularly on sanctions targeting Russian oil and secondary tariffs following the end of the 10-day deadline set by President Donald Trump," Andriy Yermak wrote on X.

\n

On Thursday, US President Donald Trump made clear that he wants a deal to end the fighting in Ukraine by Aug 8, the United States told the United Nations Security Council.

\n

"Both Russia and Ukraine must negotiate a ceasefire and a durable peace. It is time to make a deal. President Trump has made clear that this must be done by Aug 8. The United States is prepared to implement additional measures to secure peace," senior US diplomat John Kelley told the 15-member council.

\n

Trump said on Tuesday that the United States would start imposing tariffs and other measures on Russia"10 days from today" if Moscow showed no progress.

\n

US special envoy Steve Witkoff will travel to Russia after his current trip to Israel, Trump said on Thursday.

\n

Talking about prospects of negotiations with Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that he hoped peace talks between Russia and Ukraine would continue and that working groups could discuss potential compromises, but said Moscow's goals remained unchanged.

\n

Putin, who was talking alongside Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, said talks should be conducted "without cameras and in a calm atmosphere".

\n

"As for any disappointments on the part of anyone, all disappointments arise from inflated expectations," he said.

\n

Kyiv and Moscow have held three rounds of talks in Istanbul this year that yielded exchanges of prisoners and bodies, but no breakthrough to defuse the more than three-year conflict.

\n

In Europe, Germany said on Friday that it will deliver two Patriot systems to Ukraine after reaching an agreement with the US that Berlin will be first in line to receive the latest systems in return.

\n

The Bundeswehr army will initially deliver additional Patriot launchers to Ukraine in the coming days, followed by additional system components to be handed over in two or three months.

This August, experience a breathtaking fusion of East and West as the Hong Kong Ballet premieres its award-winning The Butterfly Lovers in New York. This ballet redefines classical storytelling with innovative choreography, all brought to life by the live accompaniment of the New York City Ballet Orchestra.

\n

Originating from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), The Butterfly Lovers has been around for over 1,700 years. It is recognized as one of China's four great folktales and is often referred to as the Chinese version of Romeo and Juliet.

\n

Zhu Yingtai, a young woman from a wealthy family, disguises herself as a man so she can attend school, where she meets Liang Shanbo, a fellow student from a humble background. Zhu falls in love with Liang over time. During a visit, Liang discovers Zhu's true identity. He hopes to propose to her, but her parents have already arranged for her to marry a wealthy man.

\n

Liang eventually dies from grief. On Zhu's wedding day, her bridal procession passes Liang's grave, and a storm stops them from passing. Zhu runs to the grave, and it miraculously opens. She jumps in, and moments later, two butterflies rise from the grave together, representing a symbol of their eternal love.

\n

The ballet show made its debut in Hong Kong on Oct 18, 2024, and received several major awards at the 26th Hong Kong Dance Awards 2025, including Outstanding Choreography, Outstanding Performance by a Female Dancer (Xuan Cheng as Zhu Yingtai), Outstanding Music Composition, and Outstanding Ensemble Performance.

\n

The performance was envisioned by Hong Kong Ballet artistic director Septime Webre, a Cuban-American who previously worked with The Washington Ballet.

\n

Webre said he wanted to serve the audience with tailored content that reflects the ballet company's roots.

\n

Webre said that The Butterfly Lovers sparked his interest as it explores a remarkably progressive theme — a woman seeking education in a time when it was forbidden for females. Webre described it as "a compelling contemporary theme in many parts of the world", which deeply resonated with him. He stated that the elements of modernity and themes of gender and class are still important today.

\n

Written by the lead choreographers, the couple duo Songwei Hu and Jingwen Mai, they said the piece not only highlights the great love story at its core, but also weaves in themes such as the oppression of the old feudal system and patriarchal society.

\n

This ballet blends contemporary and traditional styles in a unique and expressive way. Drawing from their deep experience in Chinese classical dance, choreographers Hu and Mai said they brought in traditional movement elements to challenge and contrast with the upright, structured posture of ballet.

\n

"We incorporated more Chinese dance into the upper body," Mai explained.

\n

The dance and story were backed by Academy Award winner Tim Yip, who designed both the costumes and the stage. He is known for his art directing work on Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon.

\n

For this performance, Yip designed 12 moving screen panels. He said those 12 screens help to slow down certain elements of ballet, pushing them into a more ethereal, virtual state.

\n

Idea of fluidity

\n

Yip said he wanted to emphasize the idea of "fluidity". He said that, unlike Western art, Chinese art emphasizes atmosphere and poetic resonance. Instead of laying everything out, it sets a mood that pulls the audience into the feel and flow of the Chinese aesthetic and way of thinking," Yi said.

\n

In partnership with China Arts and Entertainment Group and the Hong Kong Economic & Trade Office in New York, the Hong Kong Ballet will present The Butterfly Lovers for the first time from Aug 22 to 24 at Lincoln Center in New York.

\n

"As a Chinese myself, it brings me great joy to share our unique perspective on love. I hope audiences in New York can see that China, too, has its own version of Romeo and Juliet, and feel how Zhu Yingtai, even in that era, was willing to defy her family and fight for love and freedom," Hu said.

\n

For his next "ambitious" project, Webre said he has spent years researching and making. It will be a ballet based on the life of Hong Kong's legendary martial artist Bruce Lee. Mixing kung fu and ballet, Webre hopes the performance will premiere in 2027.

Lumber bound for export at the CentrePort terminal in Wellington, New Zealand, on April 10.

\n

Australia escaped the latest increases in global tariffs announced by the United States, but neighboring New Zealand was hit with a 15 percent levy, up from the 10 percent baseline rate that was proposed earlier.

\n

The White House, in a statement on Thursday, put out a list of modified tariff rates for affected countries, just before a pause on the tariffs it had unveiled globally in April was set to expire.

\n

In its statement on Thursday, the White House listed New Zealand under a "reciprocal tariff, adjusted" of 15 percent, from the previous 10 percent baseline rate.

\n

The increased tariffs on New Zealand exports will take effect from Aug 7, placing the country "alongside other key US trading partners including Japan and South Korea", New Zealand's Trade and Investment Minister Todd McClay noted in a statement on Friday.

\n

The US was the second-largest export destination for New Zealand goods in 2024, with a total value of NZ$9 billion ($5.28 billion), according to figures from New Zealand's official data agency.

\n

Major exports

\n

The value of exports to the US nearly doubled over the past decade, driven by purchases of New Zealand meat like beef and sheep, it said, with other major exports including dairy and wine products.

\n

The latest tariff decision "appears to be based on a calculation of trade deficits, with countries running a surplus with the US moved to the higher rate. In New Zealand's case, the surplus is modest, around $500 million, and is not overly significant in the context of the US economy", McClay said.

\n

"I am seeking an urgent call with the US Trade Representative to make New Zealand's position clear: this increase risks harming exporters and consumers of both countries. The US currently faces an average tariff of just 0.8 percent when exporting to New Zealand, far lower than what we face into their market," the minister said.

\n

"Our focus now moves to engaging directly with the US on this current announcement to seek changes to this decision," he said.

\n

"New Zealand has always stood for open, rules-based trade. We will continue to advocate strongly for a resolution that supports our exporters and maintains the strength of our trading relationship with the United States," McClay added in the statement.

\n

Meanwhile, most Australian goods to the US are subject to the baseline 10 percent tariff, according to Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

\n

The Australian government has called for zero US tariffs in line with a free trade agreement between the two countries.

\n

The country avoided a tariff increase that many had feared it would face on Friday, said Ben Udy, lead economist for economic advisory Oxford Economics Australia.

\n

Australian beef producers could stand to gain, with the pillar exports in high demand in recent months due to weather limiting herd numbers in the US, he said.

\n

"With Australian tariffs set to remain at 10 percent, and other exporters of high-quality beef like New Zealand and Japan facing higher tariffs, the industry should remain in high demand in the coming months," Udy said.

\n

"On that basis, Australian businesses can probably afford to leave prices unchanged, forcing US consumers or retailers to bear the brunt of the tariff increase without seeing a decline in demand."

\n

\n \n
\n \n

\n

\n \n 连若旸是国家男队队长，他与队友们5月在合肥举行的的54届亚太桥牌锦标赛上以冠军身份直通世锦赛。他说，亚太赛后，他和队友们参加了中国桥牌协会在杭州组织的国家队集训，本站联赛是国家男队出征世锦赛之前最后一次实战练兵，而在8月初，队伍还将在石家庄集结进行出征前的最后一次集训。\n \n

\n

\n \n
\n \n

\n

\n \n 对于参加本站A俱联赛，连若旸说，石家庄竞帆在第一站比赛中排名第五，本站比赛必须保持正常发挥，从而完成保级目标。之所以把目标定为保级，是因为联赛的各俱乐部实力相当，没有一枝独秀的队伍。\n \n

\n

\n \n
\n \n

\n

\n \n 而对于国家男队来说，今年的世锦赛是重中之重，连若旸本人和他的队友们都格外看重征战世锦赛。6名队员中，只有连若旸和李杰此前代表国家男队参加过世锦赛“百慕大杯”，孙纲、蔡阳、连勇、张永革4人都是首次走上世锦赛赛场。值得一提的是，这支国家桥牌男队得到了石家庄市人民政府的大力支持。\n \n

\n \n \n 她说，中国桥牌协会始终高度重视青少年桥牌工作，深耕后备力量培养，今年创办的全国桥牌青年联赛，不只是为年轻牌手搭建切磋技艺的实战平台，更是希望以此探索打通从青年赛场到职业舞台的人才通道，让每一份热爱都有进阶的路径，让每一份天赋都能找到绽放的空间。在第一站的比拼中，各位青年牌手已经展现出令人欣喜的竞技潜力与积极向上的精神风貌，让大家看到了桥牌运动蓬勃发展的青春底气。\n \n \n

\n

\n \n
\n \n

\n

\n \n \n 值得一提的是，本站青年联赛开始的同时，正在意大利举行的世界桥牌青年团体锦标赛上，有五支青年队伍正代表中国在国际舞台展现\n \n \n 中国青年人\n \n \n 的风采。而此次青年联赛的参赛选手们，也有机会通过本次比赛向代表中国参加2026年亚太和世界桥牌青年赛事的资格发起冲击。这既是一场荣誉的角逐，更是一次宝贵的成长契机，期待每位参赛选手用当下的每一次拼搏，铸就踏上更高更广阔舞台的阶梯。\n \n \n

\n

\n \n
\n \n

\n

\n \n \n 王艳楠表示，希望\n \n \n 青年牌手们\n \n \n 做打磨牌技的生力军，在攻防博弈中敢打敢拼，展现青年的锐气与巧思，为桥牌项目注入源源不断的青春朝气；做守护风气的先锋队，以清澈初心坚守诚信底线，严守赛风赛纪，从青年一代筑牢桥牌行业的清朗根基；做传承精神的接力者，带着对中国桥牌发展的责任与热爱，让中国桥牌的精神火种接续燃烧，以青春之我谱写中国桥牌故事新篇章。\n \n \n

\n \n

\n

\n \n \n 值得一提的是，上海青少年桥牌普及推广和竞技成绩斐然，在前不久结束的十五运会群众比赛桥牌项目预赛中，上海青年男队和青年女队双双拿到了决赛资格。此次全国桥牌青年联赛（第二站）在上海举办，既能让各位青年牌手感受到上海的桥牌热情，更能以赛促交流、以赛育人才，为全国桥牌青年力量的成长搭建更广阔的舞台。\n \n \n
