NestHive 是一款 iOS 上的物品收纳管理应用，通过极其复杂的四级空间管理，来精准定位你的物品。所谓四级空间管理，即场所→房间→家具→位置，虽然精准，但绝对只有强迫症患者才能用。@Appinn
\n\n\n\n说实话，第一次打开 NestHive，小众软件的青小蛙是有点崩溃的，因为界面太太太复杂了。
\n\n\n\n在创建了 客厅 > 沙发 > 抽屉 三个层级之后，才明白如何添加物品：

而且，这个界面，也太复杂了，我已经劝退了。
\n\n\n\n不过，如果你熟悉这个四级空间管理，那么管理物品起来，的确事半功倍。

你可以非常精准的找到每一件物品，但前提是你一件一件，进行了收纳登记。
\n\n\n\n这可能是最难的一个步骤，想要把整个房间的物品都管理起来，大概…需要一两周时间吧？

针对视频和药品，NestHive 还提供了过期提醒功能。
\n\n\n\n另外，还有一个有趣的功能，就是当你录入了很多物品之后，可以使用「随机物品整理」功能，来选择是否保留，断舍离必备啊。

在没有剪贴板工具之前，青小蛙遇到的最大问题就是…想找到之前复制过的内容，但苦于没有记录，找！不！回！来！
\n\n\n\n不过在有了PP剪贴板之后，这件事再也不是问题了，PP剪贴板会永久保存所有的剪贴板记录，只要你记得哪怕神秘代码中的一个字，都能找出来。
\n\n\n\n只需要按下快捷键 ALT + 空格（可自定义快捷键），在搜索框搜索，即可：

而如果碰到那种需要经常使用的内容，比如手机号码、快递地址、账号、银行卡号，还能将它们收藏起来，就可以在收藏分类中快速调用。
\n\n\n\n这里又有一个快捷键，双击自动粘贴：
\n\n\n\n在 PP剪贴板 中，支持对图片进行预览。只需要按下快捷键 ALT + 空格 后（或双击鼠标右键），在图片的位置，点击预览按钮就能用大图查看图片了：

PP剪贴板 支持对剪贴板内容进行多选操作，比如一次性选择多个文本，然后进行粘贴：
\n\n\n\n![\"PP剪贴板](\"https://do-cdn.appinn.com/static3/images/2025/08/Screen-20250801145532@2x.avif\" "\\"PP剪贴板")
多选操作非常适合先复制，后粘贴的情形。并且，支持使用 SHIFT 批量多选，和 CTRL 安顺序多选。
\n\n\n\n比如下面的视频，青小蛙按住 CTRL 选中了一、二、三条内容，然后一次性粘贴（注意顺序）：
\n\n\n\n眼尖的同学应该注意到了，在多选操作时，出现了 VIP 标识。
\n\n\n\nPP剪贴板提供了付费的增值服务，好消息是…没有订阅！
\n\n\n\n价格：38元，一次性买断，可同时激活三台设备！
\n\n\n![\"PP剪贴板](\"https://do-cdn.appinn.com/static3/images/2025/08/Screen-20250801152412@2x.avif\" "\\"PP剪贴板")

\n\n\n\n![\"PP剪贴板](\"https://do-cdn.appinn.com/static3/images/2025/08/Screen-20250801160207@2x.avif\" "\\"PP剪贴板")
呼出后，就可以直接按下数字键来粘贴文本了。
\n\n\n\nPP剪贴板自带了 OCR 工具，可以直接在图片对应的菜单中，点击[OCR]来复制文本：

这个非常方便，比把图片发给微信还方便呢。
\n\n\n\n如果你有使用密码管理器，或者其他不想让PP剪贴板监听的软件，还能将该程序添加到白名单之中：

\nBEIJING, June 5 (Xinhua) -- China has urged the United States to abandon its generalized and excessive use of the national security concept, and to collaborate with all parties in maintaining a rules-based multilateral trading system, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.
At a regular press conference, He Yongqian, spokesperson for the ministry, made the remarks when asked to comment on the U.S. decision to raise tariffs on imported steel, aluminium and their derivative products from 25 percent to 50 percent.
He said that such U.S. moves not only harm others and itself, but also will severely disrupt the stability of global industrial and supply chains.
The United States should abandon the zero-sum mentality, address respective concerns through equal dialogue, and jointly maintain the stability of global industrial and supply chains, He said.

A local woman stitches a Pan embroidery product.
\nWould it be a surprise to learn that plush carpets underfoot at Dubai International Airport, on Carnival cruise ships, and in Las Vegas hotels often come from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?
\nTibetan carpets are among the three most-famous traditional carpets in the world and have a history dating back 3,000 years. Prized for their fine wool, unique craftsmanship and exquisite designs, they enjoy global acclaim.
\nBased in Xining, Qinghai province, Shengyuan Carpet Group is one of China's largest Tibetan carpet manufacturers, and boasts a significant market share. The company combines the advantages of handwoven and machine-woven carpets to ensure product quality and aesthetics while increasing production efficiency.
\nDu Fei, deputy general manager of the projects department, recalls the company's humble beginnings. "Founded in 2007 with just over 20 employees, we survived fierce market competition by tackling complex craftsmanship and focusing on high-end, custom-made carpets, elevating 'Made in China' standards," he said.
\nToday, the company's annual sales exceed 100 million yuan ($13.9 million), with products shipped to the Middle East, Europe, North America and Australia. The United States accounts for 60 to 70 percent of sales, which mainly go to high-end venues.
\nProduction methods range from machine-woven, which imitates handmade rugs, to gun-tufted, or semi-handmade, to fully handwoven, with prices increasing manyfold as craftsmanship becomes more intricate.
\nHandwoven Tibetan carpets, most looking like vivid oil paintings, are highly prized. A 1-square-meter piece takes a craftsman roughly a year to complete, and usually fetches 50,000 yuan to 60,000 yuan for its vibrant colors and durability.
\nWith high transportation costs due to Qinghai's deep inland location, handwoven carpets barely turn a profit, Du explained. "We persist out of a mission to preserve this intangible cultural heritage — Tibetan carpet weaving is the cultural root of our enterprise," he said.
\nIn 2023, Shengyuan was designated a national demonstration base for productive protection of intangible cultural heritage, relying on the traditional Tibetan carpet-weaving technique originating from Jiaya village in Xining. Its inheritors are mainly engaged in training artisans.
\nOf the company's 300-plus employees, over 200 are from surrounding villages, including many ethnic groups such as the Tibetan and Tu. About half of them have mastered the hand-weaving skills.
\n"Instead of working far from home, I now earn nearly 5,000 yuan a month here and can still care for my family," said 42-year-old weaver Zhu Cunfeng, smiling.
\nTibetan carpets utilize premium raw materials like sheep wool and yak wool sourced in Qinghai. The designs include not only auspicious traditional Tibetan motifs, but also new artistic inspirations such as Qinghai Lake, the Kunlun Mountains, snow leopards, depictions of herders' lives, and cultural landmarks.
\nDu said the yarn used in premium handwoven carpets is only one-eighth the thickness of traditional Tibetan carpets, making them more durable and refined. The company has also developed a color library with nearly 40,000 hues, ensuring vibrant and natural color rendering.
\nWedding legacy
\n"Every young girl in the Tu ethnic group knows how to do Pan embroidery. Only by doing so can she make her wedding costume by hand when she gets married," said Zhang Zhuoma Shijie, as she explained the cultural inheritance of Pan embroidery skills.
\n"I started learning when I was 14 or 15 years old and made my own wedding costume when I was 19," said the 58-year-old inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Pan embroidery.
\nZhang is also the director of the Pan Embroidery Garden in Banyan village, Huzhu Tu autonomous county in Haidong. The Tu people worship the sun and rainbows, and the county is known as the "Hometown of Rainbows". Their costumes are characterized by colorful sleeves and Pan embroidery.
\nPan embroidery uses two threads — one coiling, one stitching — made without a frame and relying solely on hand movements, a technique impossible to replicate by machine. Founded in 2017, the Pan Embroidery Garden employs over a dozen senior embroiderers aged 63 to 73, each earning over 10,000 yuan annually.
\nKnown for its bright colors, the classic pattern of Pan embroidery resembles sunflowers (though it is not a literal sunflower), symbolizing a peaceful, auspicious, happy and beautiful life.
\nToday, Pan embroidery adorns scarves, laptop bags, pillows, coasters and other fashion products. It is sold domestically and abroad through the Qing embroidery — or embroidery of Qinghai — workshop network.
\nThe Pan method comes under the umbrella of Qing embroidery, which encompasses 17 categories and 29 stitching techniques, including Tibetan embroidery, and pile embroidery in Huangzhong district of Xining.
\nIt originated during the Qin and Han dynasties (221 BC-AD 220) along the southern route of the Silk Road and integrates elements from the Central Plains and plateau culture.
\nThe Qing embroidery workshop network consolidates experience, displays, training, production, and sales, and serves as a vital platform for preserving ethnic embroidery, boosting employment, and linking heritage protection with rural vitalization.
\nYouthful innovation
\nTongren city in the Huangnan Tibetan autonomous prefecture, 160 km southeast of Xining, is known as the "Hometown of Regong Art".
\nEncompassing Thangka painting, murals, clay sculpture, and other aspects, Regong art was inscribed on China's national intangible heritage list in 2006.
\nThangka, an iconic Regong art form, uses mineral pigments like cinnabar and coral, painted on cotton cloth and mounted on silk. Traditionally depicting Tibetan Buddhist stories and history, often with peony motifs, modern Thangkas now incorporate landscapes, architecture, and daily life, with innovative techniques.
\nDorje Tsering, office director of Renjun Regong Art Training Institute, said its founder Xiawujiao, as a master inheritor, has trained over 560 Thangka artists from Tibetan, Tu, Han, and Mongolian backgrounds.
\nThe institute currently has 43 students and offers them free training and accommodation. It also houses Qinghai's first private Regong art museum. Built between 2009 and 2013 with a 10 million yuan investment, it draws visitors from around the world every year.
\nIn its Thangka studio, two large works stand out.
\n"They were created to mark 15 years of Tianjin's aid to Qinghai, and timed for 2025. Each is 2.5m long and 1.5m wide," Dorje said.
\nOne of them depicts landmark landscapes and buildings, including Tianjin's Panshan Mountain and Qinghai's Sanjiangyuan National Park, as well as scenes of Tianjin's educational and medical assistance to Qinghai. The other one shows the sister regions of Qinghai's Huangnan Tibetan autonomous prefecture and Tianjin's Binhai New Area and their natural and cultural landmarks.
\nOver 10 artists have worked on them for seven months, with completion scheduled for late August, Dorje said.
\n"Compared with traditional Thangka, this more modern style allows for greater freedom of expression," said 23-year-old Gatso while concentrating on painting one of the Thangkas. "I have been studying here for just two years and hope to be recognized by my teacher as soon as possible."
\nHe is from the Hainan Tibetan autonomous prefecture. After graduating from high school, he stayed at home for a few years. When he heard that there were free learning opportunities at the institute, he went there.
\nSonam Gyaltso, 25, works alone in the studio next door, sculpting a leopard out of red clay.
\n"I'm local. I came here as an apprentice eight years ago after graduating from high school. Now I have a monthly salary of over 4,000 yuan. Five of my 40 high school classmates now study Regong art," he said.
\nTongren has built a provincial-level Regong culture industrial park in Qinghai, bringing together 25 large painting academies and 356 cultural enterprises engaged in Regong art, said Geng Bin, deputy head of Qinghai's Culture and Tourism Department.
\nThe painting academies operate under the "painting academy plus farmers plus base" model, and are mainly engaged in research, creation of works, training, production, sales, exhibitions, collections, and import and export business. They offer free training, accommodation, and employment, and have boosted annual per capita income by over 60,000 yuan.
\nTo expand the market, the government of Tongren has set up over 200 sales points for Regong art in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin. Tongren has also established a center for promoting Regong art in the 798 Art Zone in Beijing to enhance the influence and popularity of the Regong art brand.
\nThe works produced there are exported to Japan, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, France, India, Nepal and other countries.
\nBy 2024, Tongren's cultural sector employed 24,000 people — up 8,600 from 2023 — and earned 454 million yuan in revenue, Geng said.
\n"Regong", which means "Golden Valley" and "where dreams come true" in Tibetan, lives up to its name as countless young artists chase their aspirations.

\nIn a statement released on Tuesday, alongside details of four prominent cases, the Supreme People's Court described the fund as people's "life-saving money" and emphasized the importance of protecting it.
\n"The fund concerns the basic interests of the public and relate to the healthy and sustainable development of the medical security system. It is also crucial for the long-term stability of the country," the court said.
\nIt cited data showing that courts across China concluded 1,156 criminal cases of medical insurance fraud last year, up 131.2 percent from the previous year. Authorities recovered more than 402 million yuan ($55.9 million) in losses.
\nThe court called on judges to swiftly resolve disputes involving the national insurance fund and to place greater focus on organizers or repeat perpetrators of fraud.
\nOne of the cases involved a man surnamed Ai, a former controller of a private hospital in Datong, Shanxi province, who was sentenced to 13 years and six months in prison and fined 500,000 yuan for fraud.
\nAccording to the Shanxi court judgement, Ai and six others solicited patients for unnecessary hospitalizations in order to defraud the national insurance fund by inflating drug prices, increasing medication and examination fees, submitting false bed occupancy reports, fabricating medical records and data, and exaggerating medical expenses.
\nBy the end of 2020, the hospital had falsely claimed more than 9.7 million yuan from the fund. Ai received the heaviest sentence due to his role as an organizer of the scheme and the massive amount of money involved in it. The other six were sentenced to between four and 11 years and fined between 30,000 and 200,000 yuan.
\n"Legal support should be provided for private hospitals that enrich medical resources and ensure public access to healthcare and medications," the top court said. "But for those engaging in fraudulent activities to obtain money from the national medical insurance fund for personal gain and who are seriously undermining the development of the healthcare system, harsh punishments will be imposed."
\nThe top court also noted the growing severity of offenses involving the illegal resale of drugs acquired through medical insurance and urged courts to strengthen efforts against the practice.
\nIn another case, a man surnamed Dai in Fuliang county, Jiangxi province, was sentenced to six years in prison and fined 120,000 yuan for profiting from the illegal resale of medical insurance drugs.
\nDai, who did not have a drug distribution license, bought drugs via WeChat and made more than 3.4 million yuan in profit by selling them to others through the platform between June 2020 and December 2021. He earned another 750,000 yuan from July 2022 until his arrest.
\n"Dai's actions not only caused losses to the insurance fund, but also led to improper storage and wastage of drugs," the top court said. "If expired drugs re-enter the market, public health will face a threat."
\nThe top court urged judges to watch out for new fraud tactics and called on government departments to step up oversight of medical insurance funds.

\nSome rivers in North China's Haihe River Basin and Northeast China's Songliao Basin may experience major flooding, a representative from China's top emergency response authority said on Tuesday.
\nShen Zhanli, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Emergency Management, said at a news conference in Beijing that all seven major river basins in China have entered their main flood season this month.
\n"In recent years, due to global climate change, disastrous weather has become increasingly sudden, extreme and unpredictable," Shen said. "Especially during the flood season, disasters that break historical records and traditional understandings occur frequently."
\nShe emphasized that the country is now in a critical period for flood prevention — from the second half of July through the first half of August — calling it the most complex and severe stretch for flood control throughout the year.
\nThe peak of summer travel and outdoor construction further raises safety risks, she said.
\nShen also shared the ministry's disaster risk forecast for August, warning of high risks of flooding and hail in parts of North, Northeast, East, South and Southwest China.
\nTwo to three typhoons are expected to make landfall or affect China this month, with at least one expected to impact areas north of the Yangtze River, she said.
\nThere is also a high risk of forest fires in the Greater Hinggan Mountains and in several parts of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
\nGeological disasters could occur in western areas of Yunnan province, while high-temperature drought risks loom over parts of the middle and lower Yangtze River region, the Jianghuai area — including parts of Jiangsu, Anhui and Henan provinces — and central and northern Xinjiang.
\nOn Monday night, the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters raised its flood emergency response level from Level IV to Level III — the third-highest in China's four-tier emergency system — for Beijing, Tianjin, and the provinces of Hebei and Guangdong.
\nMeteorological forecasts had predicted heavy to torrential rainfall in parts of those regions from Monday evening through Tuesday.
\nIn Guangdong, the provincial hydrology department issued six red alerts for flooding and three red alerts for mountain torrents on Tuesday — the highest warning level in China's color-coded alert system.
\nBy Tuesday evening, emergency management authorities in Beijing and Hebei had either lowered or maintained their current emergency levels as rainfall lessened or stopped. In Tianjin and its upstream areas, heavy rainfall had also largely subsided.

\nThe satellites are the seventh group of low-orbit hardware in China's State-owned internet network. They were lifted by a Long March 12 carrier rocket at 6:21 pm on Monday from the Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Center — a coastal spaceport in Wenchang, Hainan province — and soon arrived in their orbital positions, according to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, maker of the Long March 12 rocket.
\nThe fifth group was launched on July 27 and the sixth on July 30.
\nThe satellites were manufactured by GalaxySpace, a Beijing-based private satellite company, at its "smart factory" in Nantong, Jiangsu province, that features highly intelligent assembly robots and automatic quality testing systems.
\nMonday's launch was the first time that satellites designed and built by a private company were deployed as part of the national mega-constellation project.
\nThe first six groups of space-based assets in this network were made by State-owned entities such as the Innovation Academy for Microsatellites of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the China Academy of Space Technology, a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp.
\nPreviously, several GalaxySpace satellites were launched to take part in a technology demonstration for the State-owned internet network, but they are of an experimental nature and are not formal members in the network.
\nNow, the private enterprise has become a leader in the domestic commercial satellite market, with 34 satellites that have been launched, ranging from China's first plate-shaped satellites equipped with foldable solar arrays to the nation's first communications satellite with a transmission capacity of 10 gigabits per second.

\nHe said the company will also speed up the low-cost mass production of satellites and various key equipment, and continuously push the boundaries of technological capabilities, so as to contribute to forming China's independent and reliable space infrastructure.
\nMonday's mission marked China's 43rd space launch this year and also the second flight of the Long March 12 rocket model.
\nDesigned by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, the Long March 12 is the 22nd member of the Long March family, the backbone of China's space sector, and the 17th in the operating fleet.
\nIt is the first Chinese rocket to have a diameter of 3.8 meters — most Chinese rockets have a diameter of 3.35 meters, a standard width set in the 1960s considering constraining factors in rail transport.
\nStanding 62.6 meters tall, equivalent to the height of 22 stories of a standard residential building, the two-stage model is the second highest in all Chinese rockets, only exceeded by the 62.8-meter Long March 5.

\nThe Supreme People's Procuratorate said in a statement that an investigation into Tan's case was completed by the National Commission of Supervision and police in Chaoyang, Liaoning province, before being transferred to prosecutors in the city of Dalian for judicial proceedings.
\nThe Dalian Municipal People's Procuratorate has since indicted Tan and filed the case with the Dalian Intermediate People's Court, according to the statement.
\nProsecutors said Tan is accused of leveraging his various roles in the aviation industry to embezzle State funds and assets, accepting large bribes in exchange for using his position to seek illicit benefits for others, engaging in insider trading and leaking sensitive information to aid others in securities trading. The sums involved are "particularly enormous", the statement said, without disclosing specific figures.
\nTan, 63, is a native of Hunan province and spent his entire career in China's automobile and aviation manufacturing sectors after graduating in 1983 from the Beijing Institute of Aeronautics, now known as Beihang University. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1985.
\nHe served as chairman and Party chief of AVIC, China's dominant aircraft manufacturer, for nearly five years before being removed from his post in March 2023.
\nIn August last year, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Commission of Supervision announced that Tan was under investigation.
\nIn February, the country's top anti-graft bodies said he had been expelled from the Communist Party of China after investigators concluded that he had accepted bribes, embezzled large amounts of public funds, engaged in extramarital affairs and abused his power to help others obtain jobs, contracts and business acquisitions.
\nTan is one of several senior executives at State-owned defense contractors to be rooted out by China's sweeping anti-corruption campaign over the past two years. Others include He Wenzhong, former deputy general manager of China Electronics Technology Group Corp; Liu Weidong, former deputy general manager at China South Industries Group Corp; and Hu Wenming, former chairman of China Shipbuilding Industry Corp.

\nEditor's note: The Taiwan question is a key focus for China and the international community. China Daily is publishing a series of reports to track hot Taiwan-related topics and address disinformation from the Democratic Progressive Party administration.
\nThe failure of the recent recall vote targeting opposition lawmakers in Taiwan showed that the ruling Democratic Progressive Party's separatist stance and disregard for people's livelihoods have resulted in its losing people's support, experts said.
\nRecall votes against all of the 24 lawmakers from the main opposition Chinese Kuomintang, and the mayor of Hsinchu City, who was previously a member of the smaller opposition Taiwan People's Party, on July 26 failed to pass. Seven additional KMT lawmakers are set to face recall votes on Aug 23.
\nThe unprecedented wave of recall campaigns, initiated by civic groups backed by the DPP this year, aimed to unseat 31 of 39 directly elected KMT lawmakers, to help the DPP, which held a legislative majority from 2016 to 2024, regain control of the house.
\nIn the 113-seat local legislature in Taiwan, the opposition parties currently hold a narrow majority — 52 members from the KMT, 51 from the DPP, eight from the TPP and two independents — a key obstacle for the DPP and its leader Lai Ching-te to pass bills.
\nZou Zhiqiang, deputy secretary-general of the United States-based Alliance for China's Peaceful Reunification, said the DPP's rush to initiate recall campaigns to replace opposition party representatives long before their four-year terms are up shows a lack of respect for public opinion.
\nThe decision to pursue a costly recall vote that wasted public resources and divided the society, and not focusing on disaster relief efforts after a recent typhoon in southern Taiwan, has alienated some of the DPP's traditionally strong supporters, Zou said.
\nHe said the recent vote results dealt a significant blow to the DPP and indicate that Taiwan people no longer believe in the DPP's rhetoric of "confronting the mainland to protect Taiwan".
\nChen Binhua, a spokesman for the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, said the DPP's crushing defeat in the vote fully demonstrated that its political manipulation and "anti-China" approach for seeking separation went against mainstream opinion and were rejected by the vast majority.
\nThe DPP authorities' indifference and a slow and inadequate response to disaster relief after the typhoon last month have once again exposed their true colors of prioritizing political interests, he said.
\nPublic dissatisfaction
\nTaiwan residents flooded island leader Lai's Facebook page with dissatisfied comments recently after the US announced a 20 percent tariff on most of Taiwan's exports to the country.
\nJaw Shaw-kong, a Taiwan political commentator, asserted in a Facebook post that Taiwan's economic momentum will be greatly impeded as the tariff rate is higher than Japan's and South Korea's 15 percent, which are key competitors against Taiwan's exports.
\nJaw criticized the DPP authorities for selling out the island's pillar industry by allowing TSMC to invest in the US, and by making military purchases from the US, but not receiving weapons.
\nWith the new Taiwan dollar surging by 12 percent against the US dollar and the 20 percent tariff added, the overall impact will reach 32 percent, posing a significant challenge for Taiwan businesses, he said, expressing concerns over more promises the DPP authorities may make to the US.
\nThe Labor Party in Taiwan issued a statement condemning the Lai administration for sacrificing enterprises and traditional industries in order to realize its attempt of relying on the US to seek "independence", resulting in the island having to fully satisfy unreasonable demands imposed by the US.
\nThe party expressed people's concern that the DPP's approach risks Taiwan becoming a tool of US hegemony, being manipulated by US politicians and arms dealers, and ultimately leading to a dangerous situation in Taiwan.
\nOn July 31, the Formosa Publishing poll in Taiwan revealed a significant decline in Lai's trust and satisfaction ratings, marking troubling new lows for his administration. The comprehensive survey was conducted from July 28 to 30.
\nLai's satisfaction rating has plummeted from 44.7 percent in June to 34.6 percent, while dissatisfaction has surged dramatically from 46.8 percent to 56.6 percent. His trust rating has also suffered dramatically, falling 7.8 percentage points to 37.2 percent since June, while distrust has increased by 7 percentage points to 50.3 percent.
\nThe polling data reflects growing public skepticism about his effective leadership and political direction. The survey reveals that 54.9 percent of respondents do not support Lai's bid for reelection in 2028.
\nSpeaking of those elections on the island, Zou said there is a strong possibility of cooperation between the opposition parties of the KMT and the TPP, with better chances of winning compared to the past.
\nThe DPP has been obstructing cross-strait exchanges to prevent Taiwan residents from recognizing the Chinese mainland's progress, he said, adding that if the opposition regains power, there will be increased exchanges, fostering better understanding, ultimately benefiting peaceful reunification between the two sides.
\nAttempts doomed to fail
\nOfficials from Beijing have issued a stern warning to the Lai administration that any attempt to solicit external support for "Taiwan independence" is doomed to fail.
\nThe comments followed a report by the Financial Times on July 29, revealing that Washington informed Lai that he would not be allowed to "transit" in New York on his way to South America, where he was reportedly planning to visit Paraguay, Guatemala and Belize in August.
\nWhile Lai's office had not formally announced his trip to Latin America, it said last week that he had canceled all overseas travel plans to concentrate on tariff negotiations with the US and relief efforts following the typhoon.
\nForeign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun underscored that China firmly opposes any form of official interaction between the US and the Taiwan region and firmly opposes any trip by the leader of the Taiwan region to the US in any name or under whatever pretext.
\nGuo said the Lai Ching-te authorities' separatist provocations will lead nowhere, still less shake the solid and strong international commitment to the one-China principle or stop the overriding historical trend toward China's reunification.
\nChen, from the Taiwan Affairs Office, also denounced Japan for allowing Lin Chia-lung, the head of Taiwan's so-called foreign affairs department, to make a so-called private trip to Japan and meet with Japanese politicians recently.
\nJapan bears serious historical responsibilities to the Chinese people due to its colonial rule over Taiwan, Chen said, urging Japan to learn from historical lessons and cease erroneous actions.
\n"Eighty years ago, we defeated Japanese invaders and restored Taiwan. Today, any attempt for 'Taiwan independence' that relies on foreign forces is pure delusion and will only end in even more failure," Chen warned the DPP authorities.

A teacher shares the history of a hutong in Beijing during an exchange event participated in by students from both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
\nFrom Taiwan's juancun to Beijing's hutong, the essence of human warmth in the alleyways has always been a wellspring of inspiration for Taiwan novelist and curator Bi Yi-fan, also known as Nana Bee.
\nBorn in 1970 in a juancun in Taipei, a community established to accommodate soldiers and their families from the Chinese mainland after the Chinese Kuomintang's retreat to Taiwan in 1949, Bi's upbringing was steeped in a diverse and nostalgic culture brought by residents from various mainland provinces.
\nHer family roots also trace back to the mainland, with her father hailing from Jiangsu province, and moving to Taiwan after his father sacrificed his life during the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45). In Taiwan, Bi's father served in the military, and later he married her mother in Taiwan who comes from Zhejiang province. Bi spent her childhood with her maternal grandparents in the juancun in Taipei.
\nIn these alleys, every household left its doors open, fostering strong bonds among neighbors. The sense of community was palpable, with families coming together to share meals and support one another, especially showering the youngest, Bi, with love and care.
\nThe community was also rich in traditional culture, Bi said, recalling a renowned Peking Opera actor who lived across from her home. Her childhood was filled with weekends spent watching Beijing opera with her father, and she even participated in performances during her school years.
\nDespite never having visited the mainland, Bi's elders regaled her with stories of their hometowns, bridging the geographical distance through shared experiences.
\n"My father broke down in tears when he received a letter from his mother sent from Jiangsu," Bi recalled. Her father finally returned to the mainland after his mother had passed away.
\nThe urbanization of Taiwan in the 1980s led to the dismantling of the military dependents' community, transforming one-story houses into towering apartment complexes and dispersing neighbors far and wide.
\nBi's childhood, nurtured by stories, greatly influenced her writing, with many of her novels featuring protagonists resembling the women in the military dependents' community.
\nShe decided to chronicle the tales of the community in her memory, capturing the essence of daily life, the Beijing Opera actor across the street, and the delicacies from the elderly neighbors who may have passed away, with hopes of compiling these stories into a book in the future.
\nHer passion for traditional culture drew her to live in Beijing. In the hutong of Beijing, she found the feeling of her childhood military dependents' village, with every alleyway teeming with families.
\nIn July, Bi organized a hutong-themed art exhibition in downtown Beijing, created by six Taiwan art students and their counterparts from the mainland after a three-day in-depth exploration of the alleyways.
\nDuring their journey, students from both sides rode bicycles together, learning each other's dialects and sharing local delicacies. They were warmly welcomed by the hutong residents who invited them into their courtyards to have a look around.
\nBi said, "I hope students can experience the precious warm relationship between people in such small lanes and keep them in their creations."
\nParticipant Tseng Chun-ning from Taiwan created a painting featuring several lively orange fish swimming through the gray tiled roofs and brick walls of a hutong, symbolizing the young students exploring the alleyways.
\nChang Chen-yen juxtaposed modern high-rise buildings with traditional hutong houses in an ink painting, creating a sense of coexistence between history and the present.
\n"I believe that Chinese traditional culture is ever-evolving and possesses a vitality for ongoing innovation," he said.

From left: A machine gun is on display at Yang Jinyu's private memorial hall in Yuanqu county, Shanxi province. Visitors view exhibits in the museum.
\nAt 67, Yang Jinyu has devoted most of his retirement years to establishing the first private memorial hall on the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) in the northern province of Shanxi. It specifically commemorates the history of the war in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
\n"After I retired, I have been passionate about collecting. By chance, I watched a movie depicting the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, which inspired me to establish a memorial hall," said Yang, the museum's director and a resident of Yuanqu county, which is situated in the mountain area.
\nZhongtiao Mountain, in the southern part of Shanxi, is a strategic location north of the Yellow River, bordered by the Taihang Mountains to the northeast and the Lyuliang Mountains to the northwest.
\n"My father was a veteran who fought in the war. He often told me stories of fighting Japanese invaders since I was young, which sparked my interest in researching the history of my hometown," Yang said.
\nOn May 7, 1941, the Japanese invaders launched a comprehensive attack on the Chinese army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, leading to the outbreak of the battle. It became a significant losing battle for the Chinese army on the front lines during the war.
\nThe memorial hall was established in 2014 and is located in Linghui village of the county. Yang said that as of June, the museum had received a total of 3.38 million visitors from across the country over the past 11 years.
\nIt aims to comprehensively, objectively, and truthfully depict the history of the war in Zhongtiao Mountain. The museum consists of showrooms, memorial pavilions and martyr cemeteries.
\nYang said that the hall displays a collection of 926 items, some collected from the public and some donated by war veterans. Some bullets and bomb shells came from the old battlefield.
\nHe said that each exhibit has a touching story behind it. Since 2005, Yang has spent over a million yuan ($140,000) and traveled to 16 provinces and nearly 100 counties and cities across the country in collecting these historical materials.
\nYang's efforts have been recognized. In August 2024, the Chinese Museum Association announced that the memorial hall would be rated as a national third-level museum.
\nIn 2007, he also founded the Yuanqu County Revolutionary Base Area Memorial Hall. Yuanqu is a county with a revolutionary tradition, establishing the Yuanqu County Committee of the Communist Party of China in 1927.
\nAhead of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the war against Japanese aggression, the memorial hall has experienced a surge in visitors.
\nIt holds a special exhibition, displaying 120 relevant historical books and over 160 letters from veterans.
\n"The museum is also exploring new 'digital' preservation methods while developing themed study courses and experiential activities related to Red culture, allowing the historical memory and spiritual wealth of the battle to shine brightly through innovative inheritance," said Wang Xuehua, deputy director of the memorial hall.
\nLi Xin, a visitor, said: "Coming here to revisit the Red history, I find the cultural relics to be very precious, and they have great educational significance for us."
\nYang said, "Due to various reasons, there are relatively few records and historical materials regarding the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. As a civilian, collecting and exhibiting these materials allows more people to understand and verify the history."

\nIn the latest example of that, the US administration is demonstrating an increasing zeal to try and merge its handling of economic and trade disputes with other economies with some burning issues.
\nThe US administration recently announced that it is slapping 25 percent tariffs on India as well as an unspecified penalty because of India's purchasing of Russian oil. A similar threat was also made to Brazil and other countries trading with Russia.
\nThe US is also trying to bind its trade disputes with Canada with the Palestine question.
\nAfter Ottawa announced that Canada is planning to recognize the State of Palestine at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September if certain conditions are met, following recent announcements by France and the United Kingdom, the US president said it would be hard for Canada to reach a trade deal with the US.
\nThough some suspect these US tariff threats citing the Ukraine crisis and the Palestine question are mere pressure tactics, the US' practices in exercising its "art of the deal" will unavoidably impact the settlement of the economic and trade disputes between it and other economies, as well as make the resolution of these burning issues more complicated. The US administration has consistently used tariffs as leverage to secure noneconomic benefits, including security and geopolitical gains, believing it to be an effective means of killing two birds with one stone.
\nThat approach has also been evident in its handling of the trade disputes with the European Union, Japan and some other Southeast Asian nations, in which the Ukraine crisis, "Indo-Pacific" strategy and the South China Sea issue are all overtly or covertly touched upon.
\nDespite the disservice the US administration has done to the resolution of such issues by adopting its transactional, speculative and exploitative approach to both economic and trade issues, geopolitical issues and climate change, it seems increasingly confident that this coercive approach can secure wins for the US on different fronts by leveraging the US' strengths in high-tech, finance, economy and military as a whole to maximize its gains. The US' power play for short-term gains is overturning the global paradigm established since World War II without considering the long-term costs. In effect, it is demolishing the house its forerunners built so it can sell the furnishings and silverware. With the partisan divide in the US only becoming wider these years, many of the deals the administration inks today will likely bite the dust once the revolving door in the "House of Cards" turns again.
\nAlthough the US has met considerable resistance to its coercive moves, there is not yet a strong united front against its ill-advised practices, resulting in the world becoming even more disorderly. Against that backdrop, geopolitical transactions triggered by the reallocation of economic and trade interests and increasingly fierce competition for high-tech dominance have the potential to alter traditional norms of international interactions.
\nWhile India and Brazil are the latest countries to feel the US heat, China has been singled out for US-led sanctions, containment and coercion over the Ukraine crisis for a long time.
\nChina is also one of the few economies that has been continually targeted by the US' irrational tariff attacks since about eight years ago.
\nCommitted to upholding the international order based on international law and the UN Charter, China is well aware that the US' coercive approach of binding different issues into one bundle can shake the world's confidence in the basic norms of international relations, and thus has given a clear response to the US' bid to concentrate power in its hands. The more the US tries to muddy the waters by blurring the boundary between different issues, the more China insists the settlement of these issues should be and can only be made on separate tracks through consultation and dialogue.
\nAs for the US' latest smearing of China citing its role in the Ukraine crisis, the US should stop its pointless blame game, stop shifting its responsibilities onto others, and play a constructive role in ending the fighting and promoting peace talks, as Chinese Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Geng Shuang said at a UN meeting last week. "Till now, the US has maintained its trade with Russia. If the US is doing that itself, why doesn't it allow others to do the same," Geng said.
\nResponding to the US threat of "secondary tariffs" up to 100 percent, China's Foreign Ministry posted on X last week that "Coercion and pressure will not achieve anything. China will firmly defend its sovereignty, security and development interests."
\nIn doing so, China is not only fighting for its own interests but also the common interests of the world.

- "description": "Editor's Note: The macroeconomic data for the first half of 2025, which was released recently, shows that the country's economy has forged ahead under pressure, maintaining a steady and improving momentum. The Qiushi Journal recently interviewed Guo Chunli, vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research; Chen Yanbin, director of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Industrial Economics; and Chen Binkai, vice-president of the Central University of Finance and Economics, to analyze China's economic performance in the first half of 2025 and assess the outlook for the second half. Below are excerpts from the interview. The views don't necessarily represent those of China Daily.
\n\n
China's GDP growth rose to 5.3 percent in the first half of 2025, with the economy undergoing a transformation from factor-driven growth to innovation-driven development, and from a focus on speed and scale to one centered on quality and efficiency. The economy is likely to maintain its momentum in the second half of the year. But the challenges that lie ahead should not be underestimated.
\nChina's consumer market is showing increased vitality, driven by a series of policies aimed at expanding domestic demand and boosting consumption. The first half saw robust sales of consumer products such as home appliances and smartphones. However, this also increased the base for consumption in the first half of the year and maintaining the same pace of growth in the second half might face pressure. Also, the slowdown in the growth of private investment may weigh on investment momentum in the second half of the year.
\nTo address these challenges and ensure sound economic performance in the coming months, it is essential to strengthen macroeconomic policy measures and enhance countercyclical adjustments.
\nEfforts should be made to implement the policy measures under the special campaign to boost consumption, promote income growth and reduce the burden on the low- and middle-income groups as well as significantly enhance the consumption capacity of both urban and rural residents. At the same time, fiscal and financial coordination should be strengthened to support major national strategies and build up security capacity in key areas. The focus should be on stimulating private investment and driving broader social investment.
\nAs for the impact of external influences, China has not only effectively responded to major challenges such as the additional tariffs imposed by the United States, but has continuously turned the conditions to its own advantage. Foreign trade grew 2.9 percent in the first half of the year despite the headwinds, becoming an important driver of China's economic growth. This also highlights the resilience of the Chinese economy.
\nBut the government needs to factor in the future impact of the US tariff hikes. The better-than-expected performance in the first half was partly driven by front-loaded exports and reexport trade ahead of actual tariff increases. The negative impact of the US move on the Chinese economy, particularly exports, is expected to show up in the second half of the year.
\nAs a result, China's export growth faces a downside risk in the coming months. The effective US tariff rate on Chinese goods remains high, and more measures are being introduced to curb reexport trade by Chinese firms through the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and other economies, which could pose more challenges for China's trade in the second half of 2025.
\nHence, the government must take a more proactive approach to stabilize foreign trade through diversified channels, expand the multilateral trade space and enhance China's influence and leadership in shaping international economic and trade rules.
\nTailored support measures for enterprises and industries should also be intensified to help export-oriented firms mitigate risks. Continued encouragement and support for the development of trade in services are equally essential, along with promoting comprehensive pilot programs for further opening up the services sector and enhancing the competitiveness of high-end services.

\nPremier Li Qiang's bold proposal at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai on July 26 for establishing a global organization to promote international cooperation for guiding and regulating AI promises is a milestone in using AI for the common good of humanity. At the same time, it will help prevent AI from becoming our master.
\nIn his keynote speech, Li called for the establishment of a global framework of rules to govern AI. He emphasized that this framework be shaped by a broad international consensus and called for striking a balance between AI development and security. Also, he warned that in the absence of coordinated global governance, AI could become the exclusive domain of a few countries and companies, primarily benefiting wealthier nations while leaving others, especially countries in the Global South, behind.
\nThroughout his address, Li reaffirmed China's commitment to multilateralism and to sharing its AI technology achievements with the broader international community, while underscoring the importance of ensuring universal access to this transformative technology, and calling for international collaboration, including joint scientific research and open-source initiatives. His address highlighted China's commitment to playing a leading role in building a fair and inclusive global AI ecosystem.
\nConcurrently, China released its Global AI Governance Action Plan, which proposes that a United Nations-led international organization coordinate AI development and regulations and emphasizes the importance to uphold multilateralism, promote inclusivity and ensure equal participation for all countries. The plan envisions open-source cooperation, technology-sharing, and joint research, and accords priority to the bridging of digital divide through AI education, infrastructure and talent-cultivation such as those pioneered by Chinese companies like Huawei. Among the bedrock principles are responsible, people-centered AI with clearly defined and enforced ethical and legal safeguards.
\nChina's plan is in sharp contrast to the United States administration's irresponsible zero-sum "Winning the AI Race: America's AI Action Plan" released a few days earlier. It is not a win-win plan to save humanity from runaway AI, but an irresponsible political diatribe against China which would further widen global divisions. It aims to create a "US AI exports program" that bundles US chips, models and standards into full-stack packages for allies, while increasing export control against "adversaries" in a policy that could split global markets, force countries to choose sides and undermine universal safety guardrails.
\nNot surprisingly, it even reverses the modest protections enshrined in previous US president Joe Biden's "AI Bill of Rights".
\nTo add to the urgency, Geoffrey Hinton, considered by many to be the "godfather of AI" and 2024 Nobel Physics laureate, warned the World Artificial Intelligence Conference that advanced AI could soon surpass human intelligence and become uncontrollable. He compared super-intelligent AI to a tiger cub that grows ever more dangerous as it matures, and warned that eventually even trying to shut AI off may not work.
\nHinton's plea brought back memories of Stanley Kubrick's 1968 classic and prescient film 2001: A Space Odyssey. In this science fiction movie, set in 2001 but which is still a must-see, the onboard AI computer, HAL 9000, kills several crew members due to a contradictory programming error the computer was unable to resolve. Now Hinton is afraid that life will soon be lethally imitating art.
\nHinton made a passionate plea for global cooperation to align AI with human values, proposed an international safety consortium, and urged young researchers to proceed boldly but emphasized the urgent need to ensure AI remains beneficial to humans, while warning that unchecked AI could harm or replace humans if not trained within the framework of established guardrails.
\nIt is clear to me which of the two plans Hinton thinks is urgently needed, and which one he considers an existential threat to all humanity. No wonder the 77-year-old Canadian scientist chose the WAIC for his first trip to China as the venue to emphasize the urgency of his message.
\nIn taking the more responsible approach, China is not in uncharted territory. There is a little-known precedent, similar to what China is proposing: an organization based in Geneva, Switzerland, known mostly to scientists and policy wonks, which has an unblemished record of success. It is called CERN by its French acronym, or the European Organization for Nuclear Research, founded in 1954 by 12 European countries seeking to re-establish peaceful scientific cooperation after World War II and it is where, among other technologies, the World Wide Web was spun and touch-screen technology was invented in the 1970s, decades before smartphones came in.
\nCERN is governed by consensus among its 25 politically diverse member states. The organization's leadership rotates to avoid favoritism and it is known for its transparency and open decision-making. Knowing how thorough the Chinese government's decision-making is, it's likely that CERN was considered when Premier Li proposed at the WAIC the establishment of a global organization to promote international cooperation.
\nI hope that for the sake of humanity this important proposal is swiftly implemented. Time is of the essence, and, once again, China is leading the way forward.
\nThe views don't necessarily reflect those of China Daily.

\nTrump claimed June's employment figures were "rigged" to make him and other Republicans "look bad". Yet he provided no evidence and even the official Trump had appointed in his first term to oversee the report, William Beach, condemned the firing of Erika McEntarfer, the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics appointed by former president Joe Biden.
\nThe firing followed Friday's jobs report that showed hiring was weak in July and had come to nearly a standstill in May and June, right after Trump rolled out sweeping tariffs.
\nEconomists and Wall Street investors have long considered the job figures reliable, with share prices and bond yields often reacting sharply when they are released. Yet Friday's revisions were unusually large, and the surveys used to compile the report are facing challenges from declining response rates, particularly since COVID, as fewer companies complete the surveys.
\nMany academics, statisticians and economists have warned for some time that declining budgets were straining the government's ability to gather economic data. There were several government commissions studying ways to improve things like survey response rates, but the Trump administration disbanded them earlier this year.
\nHeather Boushey, a top economic adviser in the Biden White House, noted that without Trump's firing of McEntarfer, there would be more focus on last week's data, which points to a slowing economy.
\n"We're having this conversation about made-up issues to distract us from what the data is showing," Boushey said. "Revisions of this magnitude in a negative direction may indicate bad things to come for the labor market."
\nTrump and his White House have a long track record of celebrating the jobs numbers — when they are good.
\nHowever, Trump focused his attack on the revisions to the May and June data, which on Friday were revised lower, with job gains in May reduced to 19,000 from 144,000, and for June to just 14,000 from 147,000. Every month's jobs data is revised in the following two months.
\nThe monthly revisions occur because many companies that respond to the government's surveys send in their data late, or correct the figures they've already submitted. The proportion of companies sending in their data later has risen in the past decade.
\nThe revisions to May and June's job totals, which reduced hiring by a total of 258,000, were the largest — outside recessions — since 1967, according to economists at Goldman Sachs.
\nTrump also repeated a largely inaccurate attack from the campaign about an annual revision last August, which reduced total employment in the US by 818,000, or about 0.5 percent.

Jewish peace activists gather for a march to protest against the fighting in Gaza on Tuesday in New York City.
\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel must "complete" the defeat of Hamas to free hostages held in Gaza, a day after Israeli media reported the army could occupy the entire territory.
\nThe plans to fully occupy Gaza run counter to the wishes of the international community, placing obstacles to the two-state solution championed by the United Nations, experts say.
\n"It is necessary to complete the defeat of the enemy in Gaza, to free all our hostages and to ensure that Gaza will no longer pose a threat to Israel," Netanyahu said during a visit to an army training facility on Tuesday.
\nOn Monday, Netanyahu reiterated Israel's "war objectives", and said he would direct the Israel Defense Forces to achieve these objectives "without exception".
\nHis decision will see the Israeli military expand its operations across the entire Palestinian enclave, including areas where Hamas' captives are being held, The Jerusalem Post and Channel 12 reported.
\nAyman Yousef, a professor of international relations at the Arab American University in Jenin, West Bank, said Netanyahu is "trying to put his agenda and his propaganda in this direction" as he is "in crisis".The Israeli army failed to rescue all hostages despite destroying almost all of Gaza through military action, and the political track is also in deadlock at this stage, he said.
\n"There is growing pressure inside Israel, not only from the families of Israeli prisoners and Israeli opposition forces, but there are some protests even from the Israeli army itself, from the security apparatus, from Israeli media," Yousef said.
\nA group of about 600 Israeli security officials, including former intelligence agencies' heads, had earlier written to United States President Donald Trump, urging Israel to immediately end the fighting.
\n'Professional judgment'
\n"It is our professional judgment that Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat to Israel," the officials were quoted as saying.
\nInternational pressure is mounting on Israel to observe UN resolutions and end Gaza attacks, including from the European Union and within the US administration; so is "great resentment" from other parts of the world over the killing and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, a majority of whom are women and children, including civilians such as aid workers and journalists.
\nOn Tuesday, Australia's Minister for Foreign Affairs Penny Wong told journalists that "there is a risk there will be no Palestine left to recognize", while responding to questions about a mass protest in Sydney attended by about 100,000 people rallying against Israel's war on Gaza.
\nOn Australia's position regarding Palestinian statehood, Wong said: "In relation to recognition, I've said for over a year now, it's a matter of when, not if."
\nAlso on Tuesday, Israel's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories announced that a mechanism was approved for the gradual and controlled renewal of entry of goods through the private sector in Gaza, citing the Israeli cabinet's decision to expand the scope of humanitarian aid.
\n"This aims to increase the volume of aid entering the Gaza Strip, while reducing reliance on aid collection by the UN and international organizations," said the agency.
\nBut only 95 aid trucks entered Gaza on Monday, Hamas said in a statement, far below the minimum 600 trucks per day needed to meet the basic humanitarian needs, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.
\nThe office has warned of an intensifying humanitarian catastrophe, accusing Israel of deliberately restricting aid in the territory.
\nAl Jazeera reported on Tuesday that in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, Israeli ground operations concentrated around the eastern and central areas of Khan Younis with Palestinian factions and Israeli forces trading fire.
\nIsrael's ground campaign was accompanied by "very heavy fire "from its air force and also from Israeli artillery units that continued to pound the al-Mawasi area. At least five Palestinians were killed in the attack.

\nOn July 30, a session bringing together photo contest winners and media professionals from five countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative, along with media representatives from the hosts, China Daily and the Western China International Communication Organization, was held at the WCICO park in Southwest China's Chongqing.
\nAs an important part of the Chongqing Belt and Road Journalists Station — Discover Chongqing Tour held from July 28 to 30, it not only bolstered media cooperation and exchanges with Chongqing but aimed to promote the sharing of high-quality experiences in BRI participation, the organizers said.
\nDuring the sharing session, three winners from the "Chongqing's Footprint on Silk Road" Photo Contest and two seasoned media professionals offered insights on the BRI, drawing from their unique narratives and diverse backgrounds.

"The Belt and Road Initiative has brought many benefits to our country, and the Colombo Port City is a testament to this. As a key project in the joint construction of the Belt and Road between China and Sri Lanka, this emerging new city in the Indian Ocean is becoming a golden link connecting Sri Lanka to the global market. Being able to witness the Colombo Port City gradually transform from a blueprint into reality, I deeply feel the enormous potential brought by the BRI. I believe this is not only a successful construction project but also a win-win path that creates prosperity for Sri Lanka and opens up new opportunities for deepening cooperation with China."

"When I first encountered China's Belt and Road Initiative, it resonated strongly within me. I firmly believe this is a grand path worth walking hand in hand together. As a media professional, being able to personally engage in this magnificent endeavor fills me with deep pride. In the past, trade routes were arduous and could take months to traverse; now, we can reach our destination within a day. With over 1,700 kilometers of shared border, China and Kazakhstan possess one of the world's longest land borders, serving as a vibrant lifeline. Landmark facilities such as the China-Kazakhstan Khorgos International Border Cooperation Center, the dry port located in the Khorgos-East Gate special economic zone, and the Khorgos and Kalzhat ports are modern gateways that connect Kazakhstan to China and the world."

"This is my second time visiting Chongqing, but it feels like the first, because this city is so beautiful and vast that I believe people who live their entire lives here cannot manage to explore and experience all its wonders. However, what everyone certainly feels and experiences in this city are the people, their kindness, smiles, and the love they extend to all others. The photos I made came about as an idea that came from the news that there is a girl working as a driver of a big dumper truck in the Zijin Copper Serbia mine, which is not a normal job for a young girl. After that, I contacted the PR of the mine and they allowed me and my colleague to come and make a report. When we went there we were pleasantly surprised with a few other things that the mine management does."

\nChina's childcare subsidy, set at a standard 3,600 yuan ($501) per year for each child under the age of three, is expected to provide financial relief for families, potentially boosting household consumption, analysts said.
\nThis people-centric approach to policymaking is likely to foreshadow further increases in public spending on areas that directly benefit households, such as housing and pension going forward, they added.
\n"The childcare subsidy marks the first time since the founding of New China that the government has provided nationwide, universal, and direct cash payments to the public as a form of social welfare support," said Guo Yanhong, deputy head of the National Health Commission.
\nThe subsidy is available to all eligible children, regardless of whether they live in urban or rural areas, their ethnicity, region, or whether they are the first, second or third child in the family, Guo said.
\n"This represents a significant policy measure designed to bring tangible benefits to the people," Guo added.
\nChildcare subsidy applications will be gradually rolled out across the country later this month, with full access expected by Aug 31, according to the commission.
\nBased on the 3,600 yuan annual subsidy per child and an estimated 9 million births per year, the total payout could reach over 1 trillion yuan when accounting for children up to age 3, said Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities.
\n"As families use this additional money to purchase everything from baby formula to childcare services, it will generate substantial income for businesses and workers in those sectors," Luo said. "This creates a positive economic feedback loop."
\n"Given the scale of these subsidies, the boost to consumer demand is likely to be in the hundreds of billions of yuan. And when you factor in the downstream impacts on employment, production, and investment, the overall economic benefits could be substantially higher," he added.
\nAccording to the Ministry of Finance, the central government will establish the childcare subsidy fund, and for this year, about 90 billion yuan has been earmarked in the preliminary budget allocation.
\nRegarding the funding required for distributing basic national standard subsidies, the central government will provide matching funds to local governments on a pro rata basis, with the central treasury bearing approximately 90 percent of the total cost.
\nHuang Wenzheng, executive director of Beijing-based think tank Yuwa Population Research, said: "The 3,600 yuan benchmark is primarily determined by current fiscal capacity. Additionally, with the program still in its initial phase, investment will remain modest."
\nAnalysts said the childcare subsidy program is a symbolic shift toward greater investment in people and their livelihoods, signaling broader policy changes to come.
\n"We've witnessed a strategic shift at the national level in recent years, gradually moving away from an investment model focused primarily on physical assets toward one that prioritizes human capital development," said Luo of Yuekai Securities.
\n"Given the demographic challenges China faces, such as population aging and declining birth rates, we can expect to see an even greater emphasis on pro-family policies and initiatives that bolster human capital formation," Luo added.
\nA State Council executive meeting on July 25 called for the gradual implementation of free preschool education.
\nGoing forward, policymakers could deliver deeper social security reforms, such as easier access to public housing and healthcare for migrant workers, which will reduce people's precautionary saving habits and unleash huge consumption potential, said Robin Xing, chief China economist at Morgan Stanley.
\n"To deliver that, China needs to do huge fiscal transfer to the benefits system," Xing said. "It's probably the central government's turn to try to fill the gap by either channeling dividends from State-owned capital to the social security system, or gradually shifting China's policy focus from supporting infrastructure to spending more on social welfare."

\nThe world's first cargo flight to an offshore oil platform, conducted by a domestically developed 2-metric-ton electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, demonstrates the immense potential of integrating low-altitude aviation with ocean-based industries, as well as the value of heavy-load eVTOLs in long-distance missions, experts said.
\nTo accelerate the application of eVTOLs in marine scenarios, they emphasized the necessity for design adjustments tailored to marine environments, integration with diverse engineering projects, and technology upgrades for greater performance.
\nIn a vital leap for China's low-altitude economy, the eVTOL craft, named CarryAll, recently transported fresh fruit and emergency medical supplies from Shenzhen, Guangdong province to the Huizhou 19-3 platform, located 150 kilometers off the coast of Shenzhen, slashing transport time from 10 hours to just 58 minutes.
\nThe test flight was part of a joint initiative by China National Offshore Oil Corp, Citic Offshore Helicopter Co and Autoflight. They jointly announced the breakthrough on Sunday.
\nFor decades, CNOOC relied on slow-moving vessels — a journey of 10 hours per trip — or costly helicopters to transport supplies and personnel. The eVTOL offers a third option: autonomous, fast, and scalable logistics even for platforms with limited landing space.
\n"This successful flight breaks the traditional time constraints of offshore logistics and offers new possibilities for emergency supply and maritime engineering support," said Yang Daqing, secretary-general of the port and shipping supply chain branch of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing. "It's a major step in integrating low-altitude aviation into ocean-based industries."
\nWang Guowen, director of the center for logistics and supply chain management at Shenzhen-based think tank, the China Development Institute, highlighted that Carry-All's hybrid fixed-wing and rotor design enhances energy efficiency, enabling low-cost air transport and addressing traditional eVTOL limitations in range and payload.
\nHe added that this hybrid configuration is an important direction for the future development of low-altitude transportation, whether for cargo or passenger transport.
\nNotably, CarryAll is the world's first eVTOL over 1 ton to receive a type certificate, production license, and individual airworthiness certificate. Featuring a composite wing, it boasts a range of 200 kilometers, a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and a payload capacity of 400 kilograms.
\nAccording to Xie Jia, senior vice-president at Autoflight, the aircraft passed key reliability tests, including hovering, cross-sea navigation, and vertical takeoff and landing, so as to better adapt to the South China Sea's challenging environment, characterized by high salt spray, humidity and strong gusts.
\nThis landmark flight follows a strategic agreement signed in April between CITIC Offshore Helicopter, Citic Financial Leasing, and Autoflight, which includes an intent to purchase 100 large eVTOL aircraft, including the 2-ton CarryAll.
\nAccording to estimates by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the low-altitude economy could reach 3.5 trillion yuan ($480 billion) by 2035, and innovative applications in marine environments are expected to be an important growth driver.
\nChina's 20,000-kilometer coastline and growing offshore infrastructure create strong demand for fast, flexible aerial logistics, Yang said. He believes that offshore oil and gas, marine petrochemicals, desalination and coastal mining are among the sectors that could benefit most from scaled-up eVTOL deployment.
\nIn his view, CarryAll has delivered strong performance in payload capacity, transportation timeliness, and range during this mission, extending the application of low-altitude transport into maritime scenarios and further expanding the potential of the low-altitude economy.
\nIn future maritime logistics missions, Yang said he hopes that this type of eVTOL will focus on the transportation of high-value and quickly needed items, working in synergy with unmanned vessels.

Customers take photos at a McDonald's restaurant in Zhengzhou, Henan province, in May.
\nMcDonald's China's plan to open 1,000 new stores annually and reach as many as 10,000 locations by 2028 is on track, boosted by innovation and localization, according to its top executive.
\nThe food service chain unveiled a report recently to mark the eighth anniversary of its transition to a developmental licensee model under the "Jin Gong Men" (golden arches) banner. McDonald's China was acquired by a consortium led by CITIC Capital in 2017.
\nThe report coincides with the company's rapid expansion, with more than 7,100 outlets across 280 cities — more than triple the number in 2017 — and over 1.3 billion annual customer visits.
\nPhyllis Cheung, CEO of McDonald's China, said, "The 'Jin Gong Men' model — a global brand empowered by local ownership and operations — has enabled us to respond faster to market dynamics, drive innovation, and scale impact across food, sustainability, talent, and community."
\nMcDonald's China has committed to local execution across management, operations, and innovation. Cheung said the fully localized management team allows the company to stay "closer to customers" and move "faster than ever", making decisions independently and feeding successful China-born innovations, like its spicy menu series and CUBE-style restaurant design, back into McDonald's global system.
\n"We have a Chinese team and Chinese speed. That's our local advantage," Cheung said. "Even our suppliers in China are producing to a level where their products — like pies and chicken — are being considered for global distribution."
\nSpeaking on store expansion, the CEO said the chain "has long-term confidence in the Chinese market "and is opening two to three new stores every day. "By year-end, we will expand into the Ningxia Hui autonomous region and Qinghai province, achieving 100 percent coverage of all provincial-level administrative regions on the Chinese mainland."
\nThe company also plans to penetrate further in the market to accelerate development into third and fourth-tier cities. China's consumer landscape is evolving rapidly, with a growing focus on value-for-money and a dislike of overpaying. McDonald's has responded with pricing innovations such as its 22.9 yuan ($3.18) set meal known as the "Big Bite Meal".
\nThe company considers its supply chain one of its pillars of strength. With over 90 percent of ingredients sourced locally, the company leverages its supply chain to maintain pricing power and quality. It has invested more than 12 billion yuan alongside suppliers in the past five years to build the McDonald's China supply chain ecosystem.
\nInnovation has also propelled its communication with consumers. Its menu is continuously refreshed with offerings catering to local tastes and consumption trends, such as the breakfast combo (9.9 yuan) and protein-packed beef burger for fitness-focused consumers.
\nDigital transformation also enhances its customer experiences. Nearly 90 percent of McDonald's China orders are placed via mobile devices or self-order kiosks. More than 6,000 stores feature smart pick-up lockers, allowing contactless retrieval through QR code scans.
\nThey are not just digitizing operations, said the CEO. "Customers can choose when and how to place and pick up their orders, giving them a sense of autonomy and control," Cheung said.
\nChanges in consumer lifestyles are also quickly reflected in how McDonald's China innovates around consumption scenarios. The company is piloting voice-activated drive-through orders designed for new energy vehicle drivers, said the CEO.
\nListening to their customers is what keeps them localized and innovative. McDonald's China tracks more than 20,000 daily social media posts related to the brand.
\n"We hold regular focus groups to go deeper into what customers love — or don't love — about our offerings," Cheung said. "Our goal is not just to grow with China, but to co-create with Chinese consumers."

Photographers take aim at the podium as they snap pictures of the trophy ceremony following Sunday's race.
\nIt's time for Formula One's risk-taking drivers, overworked engineers and harried team principals to relax. At least in theory.
\nWith four weeks until the next race, including a mandatory 14-day shutdown of all racing operations from next week, the F1 season is on hold.
\nIt's what F1 calls "silly season," the time when contract talks — and rumors — fill the vacuum.
\nIt often seemed like silly season started early, with feverish speculation about a move from Red Bull to Mercedes for four-time champion Max Verstappen. Now that Verstappen has confirmed he's staying with Red Bull, other decisions — such as contract renewals at Mercedes — could speed up.
\nRussell at Mercedes
\nMost F1 teams saw the sweeping rule changes coming for 2026 and tied down key drivers to long contract extensions last year, or even the year before.
\nThe idea was to lock in experienced drivers who could help with development throughout 2025, so the very different 2026 cars wouldn't come as a surprise.
\nMercedes does things a little differently. As well as checking out a potential Verstappen move, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has waited on contract extensions for George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, who aren't confirmed beyond 2025.
\nBoth went through Mercedes' young driver program, which helped them through the junior series, and seemingly gives the team more control over their careers.
\n"Mercedes manages me as well, so it's not really a deadline in my hands as such," four-time Grand Prix winner Russell said last month, adding he'd had no talks with other teams. Antonelli started his debut F1 season strongly, but the 18-year-old driver's performances have dipped in recent months.
\nRed Bull's other seats
\nVerstappen's decision has taken a lot of pressure off, but the broader Red Bull organization still has three seats to fill — one at Red Bull and two at Racing Bulls. It's not clear who will take the final decision, and when, after longtime team principal Christian Horner was fired.
\nIf the logic behind dropping the underperforming Sergio Perez last year was that any Red Bull replacement would do better, it's been proved wrong.
\nLiam Lawson lasted two races as Verstappen's teammate and Yuki Tsunoda has only scored points in three of 12 race weekends since his promotion. The team's engine partnership with Honda ends this year, which could affect Honda-backed Tsunoda's place.
\nFrench rookie Isack Hadjar at Racing Bulls has outscored both Tsunoda and Lawson this season, and might be the front-runner for the Red Bull seat. F1's governing body, the FIA, also made an exception to grant Red Bull-backed Formula 2 driver Arvid Lindblad a license before his 18th birthday.
\nCadillac is coming
\n"That's actually a nice seat... I wouldn't mind." Valtteri Bottas' comments in a social media skit in June fawning over a Cadillac road car went viral and cemented him in many fans' minds as the front-runner to join the new General Motors-backed team for 2026.
\nBottas and Perez are both F1 race winners, popular with fans, but who had underwhelming seasons in 2024 and aren't racing in 2025.
\nOther reported options include Ferrari reserve Zhou Guanyu, an ex-Sauber driver who could unlock big sponsor backing from China, or ex-Haas driver Mick Schumacher, son of seven-time champion Michael Schumacher.
\nThe Alpine carousel
\nRuthless? Yes. Successful? No.
\nAlpine benched the departing Esteban Ocon for Jack Doohan for the last race of 2024, then dropped Doohan for Franco Colapinto six races into 2025.
\nGiven that neither Doohan nor Colapinto has scored a point for Alpine, it's perhaps no wonder the team hasn't confirmed who'll partner Pierre Gasly next year.
\nOne option is Alpine reserve Paul Aron, who would be the first Estonian in F1. He's had two practice drives with Sauber this year, but was unlucky last week when his car broke down on Friday after just eight laps.

Wu Ruiting in action at the national championships, where he won triple jump gold and set a new Asian record.
\nIt has been over a decade in the making, forged by sweat and pain, but Wu Ruiting can now proudly call himself an Asian record-holder.
\nRepresenting his native Guangdong province, veteran triple jumper Wu drew international attention to the Chinese National Championships on Monday after, on his fourth attempt in the final, he sailed 17.68 meters to win his third national title and break the 16-year-old men's Asian record by nine centimeters.
\nAfter building an early lead with a strong 17.41m effort in the second round before fouling in the third, Wu executed a near-flawless jump on his next try to secure his win, while rewriting the former continental mark of 17.59m set by his retired compatriot Li Yanxi at the 2009 Chinese National Games.
\nWu's leap on Monday, had it been achieved a year earlier, would've placed him third on the Olympic podium in Paris.
\nHis new Asian record distance now ranks third on this season's world list, trailing only Italian jumper Andy Diaz Hernandez's two indoor results in March — a 17.80m leap to claim the World Indoor Championships title in Nanjing, and 17.71m to win the European indoor title in the Netherlands.
\nTokyo 2020 Olympic silver medalist Zhu Yaming of Liaoning province secured second place with a season-best 17.37m, while Ma Yinglong of Shandong province finished third at 16.77m.
\nBoth Wu and Zhu have met the 17.22m qualification benchmark for the 2025 World Athletics Championships, which will be held in September in Tokyo.
\nReflecting on his surprising feat, achieved after enduring a long injury break, the 29-year-old couldn't hold back his emotions.
\n"I have been aiming for the Asian record for more than 10 years. Today, I finally achieved it," said an emotional Wu, with tears in his eyes, during his post-final interview at the championships in Quzhou, Zhejiang province.
\n"If you truly understand the triple jump, you'll know how hard it is — from suffering injuries and changing my technique, to seeing my performance plunge and then fighting my way back.
\n"I was almost ready to give up. The encouragement from my training partners with the provincial team, and the support of my coach and team officials, helped carry me to where I stand today."
\nGifted with athleticism from birth, Wu began junior training in 2007 at the municipal sports school in his home town of Dongguan, and soon made his presence felt on the national stage by winning the 2015 indoor national title at 19 years old.
\nLeaning on his early sprint training, Wu broke onto the world stage in 2017 by winning his first international title with a 17.18m effort at the World Challenge tour in Kawasaki, Japan. He achieved his previous personal best of 17.47m at the national trials in Shenyang, Liaoning province, for the 2019 worlds, where he made it into the final and eventually finished 9th.
\nHis smooth progression, however, hit setbacks after suffering a disappointing Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020, where he failed to reach the final, followed by injuries that sidelined him from the next two worlds in 2022 and 2023.
\nNow, after breaking his PB, achieved on exactly the same day (Aug 4) in 2019, Wu believes the Quzhou meet bodes well for his redemption trip to the Japanese capital next month, where he expects to prove he belongs among the world's elite at the Olympic stadium.
\n"After a solid winter training camp, I gradually built my confidence with improvements into the outdoor season. My performances became better and I am almost back at full capability," said Wu, whose win on Monday marked his first 17m-plus jump since 2021.
\n"It was my first complete meet of the outdoor season, and I gave all I have. I didn't expect such a great result, though. I am looking forward to the worlds for sure," Wu told Xinmin Evening News, a Shanghai-based newspaper.
\nWith his sights now firmly set on the upcoming Tokyo meet, Wu will once again join forces with veteran Zhu to contend for international honors.
\nZhu, a consistent elite performer with a PB of 17.57m set at the 2020 Tokyo Games, where he took silver, also won bronze at the 2022 Worlds in Eugene, Oregon, and gold at the Hangzhou 2023 Asian Games.
\nEarlier at the Quzhou meet, China's 17-year-old Yan Ziyi eclipsed her own U20 world record in the women's javelin by more than a meter, throwing an impressive 65.89m to clinch the national title.
\nYan's victory followed another new U20 world mark set by young talent Zhang Jiale, who recorded a 77.24m toss in the women's hammer throw on Saturday to win her first national title.
\n"I feel I've always been explosive when I go hard in a competition, and I even blew myself away today. This progress was surprisingly good," said the 19-year-old Zhang, whose new youth mark was just 0.44 meters shy of the Asian record held by veteran Wang Zheng.

\nSoft domestic inflation and rising expectations of United States interest rate cuts have offered ample room for monetary policy continuity and flexibility, they said, with a focus on ramping up targeted support for technological innovation, industrial upgrading and internationalization of the renminbi.
\nLou Feipeng, a researcher at the Postal Savings Bank of China, said that the monetary authorities are likely to exert continuous support for the economy in the second half to consolidate the solid economic momentum and improved market confidence seen in the first half.
\nWhile the central bank may focus on improving the effectiveness of existing monetary policy tools, additional support, such as cuts to the reserve requirement ratio and policy interest rates, cannot be ruled out, given the current need to reduce real financing costs amid low domestic inflation.
\n"Structural monetary instruments may be scaled up if needed to support key areas such as technological innovation and industrial upgrading," he said.
\nLou added that a cut in the over-five-year loan prime rate — a benchmark of mortgage rates — can help stabilize the sluggish property market and boost consumption.
\nXi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, called for efforts to maintain policy continuity and stability while presiding over a symposium on July 23 to seek advice from non-CPC personages on economic work.
\nHe also called for enhancing flexibility and foresight to keep employment, businesses, markets and expectations stable.
\nThis is in line with an idea embodied in Xi Jinping's economic thought — improving macroeconomic adjustments in accordance with changes in the principal contradiction of economic development.
\nThe People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, also sent a clear signal of monetary policy continuity, saying on Friday after a midyear work meeting that it would continue to implement a moderately loose monetary policy, keep ample liquidity and promote industrial upgrading to resolve structural issues in key industries.
\nWith the tone of a moderately loose monetary policy unchanged, Guo Yiping, an analyst at Xiangcai Securities, said that future adjustments to aggregate monetary policy will likely hinge on the impact of evolving global tariff policies and changes in market expectations for domestic demand, with a remaining possibility of interest rate cuts later this year.
\nYang Haiping, a nonresident research fellow with the Beijing Wealth Management Industry Association, said that if the US Federal Reserve cuts interest rates in the second half, it will create more room for China to continue with monetary policy easing. Expectations of US rate cuts have risen after the US reported disappointing job readings for July last week.
\nYang also highlighted the central bank's emphasis on renminbi internationalization, which reflects the growing importance of promoting the currency's global use for mitigating external financial shocks and supporting Chinese enterprises going global.
\nThe central bank pledged after the midyear work meeting to prudently and effectively advance the internationalization of the renminbi, introducing specific measures such as improving the integrated cash pool policy of domestic and foreign currencies, refining the policies governing the overseas listings of domestic enterprises, and establishing a stable liquidity supply system across a full range of maturities in offshore renminbi markets.

An Apollo Go autonomous vehicle runs on the Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, Hubei province, on Feb 27, 2024.
\nCommercial application of China's cutting-edge autonomous driving technology is spreading globally as Chinese enterprises speed up efforts to expand their presence in overseas markets and deploy robotaxi fleets.
\nResidents in some Middle East cities, for example, will be able to hail robotaxis developed by Chinese companies via ride-hailing apps on their mobile phones before year's end.
\nUtilizing the technology will help build safer, more efficient and convenient intelligent transport systems, industry experts said.
\nChina is at the forefront of autonomous driving development, and Chinese companies have vast experience in a wide variety of road tests and operational scenarios — ranging from densely populated urban centers to suburban areas — which has laid the foundation for their overseas expansion, they said.
\nTraffic conditions and urban environments vary in different countries, and governments around the world are working to build road infrastructure and establish legislative and regulatory frameworks to enable the safe and stable operations of robotaxis.
\n"Chinese self-driving enterprises are adopting different strategies based on the different regional conditions of overseas destinations," said Duan Yuwan, deputy director of the School of International Trade and Economics at the Central University of Finance and Economics.
\n"Southeast Asia and the Middle East have become the frontiers for Chinese firms' overseas expansion due to their open policies and clear application scenarios, while European countries pay more attention to the deployment and implementation of the Level 4, or highly autonomous driving technologies," she said.
\nApollo Go takes off
\nTech heavyweight Baidu Inc has stepped up the pace of its global expansion.
\nThe company recently signed a multi-year strategic partnership with United States-based ride-hailing service Uber Technologies to deploy thousands of its Apollo Go autonomous vehicles on Uber's platform. The agreement covers multiple markets outside the US and the Chinese mainland.
\nThe collaboration focus is on increasing the supply of affordable and reliable ride-sharing options by bringing Baidu's autonomous vehicles to Uber's extensive network. The first deployments are expected in Asia and the Middle East later this year.
\nRobin Li, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Baidu, said 2025 will be a pivotal year for the growth of its autonomous ride-hailing platform Apollo Go, with plans to expand fleet size and ride volume faster than ever.
\n"Looking ahead, we will deepen our presence in existing markets while strategically entering new ones, capturing broader growth opportunities worldwide," Li said. He sees a clear path to profitability for robotaxis as hardware costs continue to come down, and the growth in operational scale results in greater efficiency.
\nCurrently, Apollo Go deploys a fleet of more than 1,000 fully driverless vehicles globally. Its global footprint spans 15 cities, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
\nThe company has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority to launch autonomous driving tests and services in the city. Apollo Go will deploy 100 fully autonomous vehicles in Dubai by the end of 2025, with plans to expand the fleet to no fewer than 1,000 by 2028, as the city aims to make 25 percent of all transportation trips autonomous by 2030.
\nIt has also teamed up with Auto-Go, a UAE-based autonomous mobility solutions company, with the goal of deploying the largest fully driverless fleet in Abu Dhabi. Initial trials of dozens of autonomous vehicles will be conducted in select areas of the city, with phased expansion ahead of full commercial operations by 2026.
\n"China is taking the lead in the R&D and application of self-driving technology, and the accelerated expansion of Chinese self-driving companies abroad will propel the commercialization of the state-of-the-art technology on a global scale," said Zhang Xiang, a visiting professor at the engineering department at Huanghe Science and Technology University.
\nZhang said authorities in the Middle East and some European countries have a relatively open attitude toward autonomous driving and are promoting the testing and use of robotaxis thanks to technological advancements and cost reductions.
\n"Chinese self-driving enterprises have strong technical prowess and have accumulated extensive testing and operational experience in the domestic market, so they are eager to play a bigger role in the international autonomous driving sector by leveraging their technological advantages," he said, adding there is an increasing demand for self-driving vehicles in overseas markets.
\nEmphasizing that ensuring the safety and stability of self-driving vehicles remains a top priority, Zhang called for efforts to improve testing and application scenarios overseas, continuously optimize algorithms, strengthen road infrastructure construction, and reduce the manufacturing costs of driverless vehicle components.
\nNew frontiers
\nChinese self-driving company Pony.ai is poised to increase its global robotaxi fleet to thousands of vehicles over the next two years, with 2025 earmarked as the first year of large-scale commercial deployment.
\nThe company recently started road testing its robotaxis in Luxembourg in cooperation with Emile Weber, the country's leading mobility solutions provider, to deploy electric autonomous vehicles in Luxembourg, and accelerate robotaxi application in Europe.
\nJames Peng, co-founder and CEO of Pony.ai, said the testing marks the beginning of collaboration, innovation, and the advancement of autonomous mobility in both Luxembourg and the continent.
\nPony.ai announced in April that it had obtained a testing permit for Level 4 autonomous driving from Luxembourg authorities. The authorization expands its global testing footprint, building on existing permits in China, the United States, and South Korea.
\nThe company earlier chose Luxembourg as its European hub for research, development, and the deployment of autonomous driving technology.
\nAutonomous driving is categorized from Level 0 to Level 5. The higher the level, the more intelligent the technology and the less the involvement of humans. Level 4 vehicles can intervene if there is a system failure and do not require human assistance in most circumstances. However, a manual override option is still available.
\nEarlier last month, Pony.ai inked a strategic partnership with the Roads and Transport Authority of Dubai, to integrate self-driving technology into Dubai's multi-modal transportation network.
\nAutonomous driving technology will be introduced in a multi-phase rollout, with supervised robotaxi trials set to launch this year, followed by fully driverless operations in 2026.
\nFounded in 2016, Pony.ai has amassed over 45 million kilometers in global autonomous testing, and offers fully driverless ride-hailing services in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong province's Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
\nIn South Korea, the company has set up a joint venture with a local tech company and started road testing in Seoul. It is also looking to introduce robotaxis in Singapore by starting trials with a local transport operator.
\nThe company established a strategic partnership with Uber in May. The first service is expected to be launched in a key Middle East market before deployment in other international markets.
\nChinese self-driving startup WeRide is another company accelerating its global expansion, with the Middle East seen as a strategic priority for autonomous driving growth and innovation.
\nIt is cooperating with Dubai authorities and Uber under an agreement, pilot operations of autonomous vehicles will commence later this year via the Uber app in Dubai. In the initial phase, the vehicles will operate with a safety driver on board, paving the way for the full-scale commercial rollout of driverless services in 2026.
\nIn May, the company and Uber further expanded their partnership to roll out robotaxis in 15 additional major global cities over the next five years, including some in Europe. It has launched fully driverless robotaxi testing in Abu Dhabi, and other cities in the Middle East are being explored for testing.
\nThe company is expanding into Saudi Arabia and has rolled out testing or deployment of its robotaxis in cities including Riyadh, setting the stage for commercial rollout and wider operations across the Middle East's largest economy.
\nWeRide's robotaxis support Saudi Arabia's push to develop a smart, sustainable transportation infrastructure for both residents and the rising influx of visitors.
\nOpen to innovation
\nThe scale of the global robotaxi market is expected to reach $45.7 billion by 2030, rapidly expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 91.8 percent from 2023 to 2030, data from research company MarketsandMarkets shows.
\nThe growth of the robotaxi market is influenced by rising demand for ride-hailing services, high R&D investment and government focus on reducing emissions, infrastructure development, and growth of electric vehicles, according to the consultancy.
\nThe need for robotaxis is also being fueled by the growing emphasis on sustainability, requirements for effective urban transit, and increased safety as a result of the abolition of human mistakes, it added.
\nAt present, governments around the world are continuously introducing favorable policies to support the development of autonomous driving technology — including test permits and infrastructure construction — which is conducive to accelerating the application and popularization of the technology, according to WeRide.
\nZhu Keli, founding director of the China Institute of New Economy, said the open, innovative environment and supportive policy measures for autonomous driving technology in some countries, especially the UAE and Luxembourg, provide Chinese self-driving companies with ideal testing sites and a broad development space.
\n"Their accelerated global expansion will bolster the maturity of autonomous driving technology, propel the deeper integration of global industrial chains, optimize resource allocation and inject fresh impetus into the development of the self-driving sector worldwide," Zhu said.
\nThe accelerated international push of Chinese self-driving companies is inevitable in the face of increasingly fierce competition, said Duan from the School of International Trade and Economics at the Central University of Finance and Economics.
\nBy cooperating with leading overseas companies, they can receive funding and policy support abroad and enhance their competitiveness in the global intelligent automotive sector. This will in turn drive the development of domestic companies involved in the autonomous driving industrial chain, she added. "Self-driving technology is expected to become an important field for China to share its development dividends with the world," Duan said.
\nMarket consulting firm McKinsey& Company has forecast that China will become the world's largest market for self-driving vehicles, with revenue from such vehicles and mobility services exceeding $500 billion by 2030.
\nChina has caught up with the US in developing autonomous driving, said Lyu Jinghong, an intelligent mobility analyst at research company BloombergNEF.
\nLyu said ongoing testing on public roads, regulatory backing and cost reductions in autonomous vehicle manufacturing, will help accelerate the deployment and commercialization of self-driving cars.
\nHowever, Chinese self-driving companies' greater presence abroad may encounter some challenges, such as differences in culture, laws and regulations, she said. Lyu called for greater efforts to conduct testing based on different road conditions abroad, and improving knowledge about the usage habits of local consumers, as well as strengthening compliance and personal privacy protection.
\nLi Xinbo, an automotive industry analyst at China Auto Information Technology (Tianjin) Co, said as the operating costs and compliance risks in overseas markets are relatively high, Chinese enterprises need to carefully assess and formulate strategic plans, speed up localization efforts and launch services that cater to local requirements, when carrying forward their globalization push.

\nCommercial application of China's cutting-edge autonomous driving technology is spreading globally as Chinese enterprises speed up efforts to expand their presence in overseas markets and deploy robotaxi fleets.
\nResidents in some Middle East cities, for example, will be able to hail robotaxis developed by Chinese companies via ride-hailing apps on their mobile phones before year's end.
\nUtilizing the technology will help build safer, more efficient and convenient intelligent transport systems, industry experts said.
\nChina is at the forefront of autonomous driving development, and Chinese companies have vast experience in a wide variety of road tests and operational scenarios — ranging from densely populated urban centers to suburban areas — which has laid the foundation for their overseas expansion, they said.
\nTraffic conditions and urban environments vary in different countries, and governments around the world are working to build road infrastructure and establish legislative and regulatory frameworks to enable the safe and stable operations of robotaxis.
\n"Chinese self-driving enterprises are adopting different strategies based on the different regional conditions of overseas destinations," said Duan Yuwan, deputy director of the School of International Trade and Economics at the Central University of Finance and Economics.
\n"Southeast Asia and the Middle East have become the frontiers for Chinese firms' overseas expansion due to their open policies and clear application scenarios, while European countries pay more attention to the deployment and implementation of the Level 4, or highly autonomous driving technologies," she said.
\nApollo Go takes off
\nTech heavyweight Baidu Inc has stepped up the pace of its global expansion.
\nThe company recently signed a multi-year strategic partnership with United States-based ride-hailing service Uber Technologies to deploy thousands of its Apollo Go autonomous vehicles on Uber's platform. The agreement covers multiple markets outside the US and the Chinese mainland.
\nThe collaboration focus is on increasing the supply of affordable and reliable ride-sharing options by bringing Baidu's autonomous vehicles to Uber's extensive network. The first deployments are expected in Asia and the Middle East later this year.
\nRobin Li, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Baidu, said 2025 will be a pivotal year for the growth of its autonomous ride-hailing platform Apollo Go, with plans to expand fleet size and ride volume faster than ever.
\n"Looking ahead, we will deepen our presence in existing markets while strategically entering new ones, capturing broader growth opportunities worldwide," Li said. He sees a clear path to profitability for robotaxis as hardware costs continue to come down, and the growth in operational scale results in greater efficiency.
\nCurrently, Apollo Go deploys a fleet of more than 1,000 fully driverless vehicles globally. Its global footprint spans 15 cities, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
\nThe company has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority to launch autonomous driving tests and services in the city. Apollo Go will deploy 100 fully autonomous vehicles in Dubai by the end of 2025, with plans to expand the fleet to no fewer than 1,000 by 2028, as the city aims to make 25 percent of all transportation trips autonomous by 2030.
\nIt has also teamed up with Auto-Go, a UAE-based autonomous mobility solutions company, with the goal of deploying the largest fully driverless fleet in Abu Dhabi. Initial trials of dozens of autonomous vehicles will be conducted in select areas of the city, with phased expansion ahead of full commercial operations by 2026.
\n"China is taking the lead in the R&D and application of self-driving technology, and the accelerated expansion of Chinese self-driving companies abroad will propel the commercialization of the state-of-the-art technology on a global scale," said Zhang Xiang, a visiting professor at the engineering department at Huanghe Science and Technology University.
\nZhang said authorities in the Middle East and some European countries have a relatively open attitude toward autonomous driving and are promoting the testing and use of robotaxis thanks to technological advancements and cost reductions.
\n"Chinese self-driving enterprises have strong technical prowess and have accumulated extensive testing and operational experience in the domestic market, so they are eager to play a bigger role in the international autonomous driving sector by leveraging their technological advantages," he said, adding there is an increasing demand for self-driving vehicles in overseas markets.

\nIn late June, 4-year-old "Yaoyiyao Xiaoroubao", an influencer with more than 20 million followers on short-video platform Douyin, donated 100,000 yuan ($14,000) to Rongjiang, a flood-hit county in the southwestern province of Guizhou. The gesture revived public attention to her case, months after an earlier controversy raised concerns about the well-being of children in the influencer economy.
\nYaoyiyao, whose real name has not been disclosed officially, is a native of Guizhou. Her Douyin account, managed by her parents, features videos of her daily life and has garnered over 610 million likes. Her chubby cheeks, playful expressions and innocent charm have won over audiences nationwide.
\nBut a video posted in February triggered backlash after showing Yaoyiyao falling to the ground while her mother continued filming and laughing instead of helping her. Many netizens questioned whether the fall had been staged for views and accused the parents of exploiting their child for profit, without regard for her privacy or dignity.
\nFollowing the incident, her parents suspended the account and removed all product-related listings. Reports by media outlets, including Shanghai-based The Paper, revealed that the account charged 400,000 yuan for ads lasting from 1 to 20 seconds, and 550,000 yuan for videos over 60 seconds.
\nIn a February statement, Yaoyiyao's parents denied mistreating their daughter, barring her from school or forcing her to pose for commercial deals. They resumed posting content from mid-to-late March.
\n"Children's pure, innocent behavior naturally evokes empathy, and some of their talents, like language skills, also attract followers," said Ye Mingrui, deputy dean of the Television School at the Communication University of China in Beijing.
\nHe said most parents begin by sharing videos for fun, but positive feedback and advertising offers may tempt them to commercialize their children's image.
\nWhile China has not released official data on the number of child influencers, the growing internet use among children and the rise of short video trends such as makeup tutorials and mukbangs — videos where audiences watch people eat large quantities of food — have prompted public concern over their right to privacy, mental health and exposure to cyberbullying.
\nYao Junchang, from W&H Law Firm in Beijing, said using children to gain online popularity and earn income amounts to turning them into child laborers. He noted that China currently lacks specific laws targeting child influencers, though some government regulations apply.
\nIn January, the Office of the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission released a draft regulation for public comment that would bar multichannel networks — companies that support content creators — from profiting off child celebrities. The draft regulation finished collecting public opinion in February.
\nThe Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2021 issued a guideline urging governments at all levels to prohibit the monetization of child influencers. It called for stronger oversight of children's participation in online performances and punishment for accounts that involve minors in indecent or suggestive marketing content.
\nExperts have also expressed concern about the mental and emotional toll such exposure can take on children.
\n"Children are still developing their sense of identity," said Wang Wenda, director of psychological health education at Xinhua College of Ningxia University. "If they are intentionally trained to become internet celebrities, they may struggle to distinguish reality from cyberspace, or develop histrionic personalities."
\nHe said that children often lack the ability to regulate emotions under online pressure, which could lead to anxiety or depression. Family dynamics may also suffer if parents shift from caregivers to business managers, prioritizing commercial opportunities over the child's wishes and privacy.
\nYe, from the television school, said protection efforts remain incomplete and that many parents fail to understand that a child's digital footprint is permanent — potentially resurfacing later in life with lasting consequences.
\n"It takes effort from government, platforms, families and every adult around the child," he said. "Authorities should work closely with platforms to supervise influencer accounts and educate parents on how to protect their children effectively."
\nHe added that platforms could encourage users to report content that exploits children, and teachers should intervene when signs of distress are detected.

\nThe Z-10ME's predecessor, the Z-10 medium-weight, twin-turboshaft attack helicopter was designed by the China Helicopter Research and Development Institute, a subsidiary of Aviation Industry Corp of China in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province, primarily for anti-tank and anti-armor missions, but it also has a secondary air-to-air capability.
\nThe helicopter made its maiden flight in April 2003 and started deliveries to the People's Liberation Army around the end of the 2000s.
\nSo far, a large number of the Z-10's baseline and upgraded models have been deployed by the PLA Ground Force and PLA Air Force.
\nAs its export variant, the Z-10ME was first shown to the public at the 14th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in November 2022, indicating that it had received government approval for export and was ready for tests and scrutiny by potential users.
\nAccording to China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corp, AVIC's international trade wing, the Z-10ME is a 6-metric-ton class advanced attack helicopter that features round-the-clock combat capability. It can carry a wide variety of munitions, including air-to-air missiles, anti-tank missiles, guided rockets and a chin-mounted cannon.
\nBefore the Z-10ME, the Pakistan Army Aviation Corps deployed two types of attack helicopters: 55 Bell AH-1 Cobras bought from the United States and four Russian Mil Mi-35s.

Embodied intelligent robot Xue Ba 01.
\nAn embodied intelligent humanoid robot developed by the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology was recently admitted to the Shanghai Theatre Academy as a doctoral candidate in its drama, film and television program, aiming to further explore the integration of generative artificial intelligence and theatrical art creation.
\nThe admission ceremony took place at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference that recently concluded in Shanghai, making it the first embodied intelligent robot in China to enroll as a doctoral student.
\nNamed "Xue Ba 01", the robot features excellent lightweight and endurance. Developed by a team led by Li Qingdu, a professor at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, the robot was produced by Shanghai DroidUp Co and its appearance and styling were designed by Yang Qingqing, a professor at Shanghai Theatre Academy.
\n"The robot is essentially an AI agent with a physical entity. We are trying to make it like a 'bionic man' that has a realistic and natural humanlike appearance, expressions, body movements and interactions," said Li, who is also the founder of DroidUp.
\nThe development of the robot started in 2021 when the two institutions signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement. They jointly launched the nation's first high-level talent cultivation program focusing on integrating arts and robotics technologies. Leveraging their own expertise and disciplinary strengths, the two sides designed a growth path and competency framework for robotics doctoral programs, and established multiple training modules.
\nAccording to Yang, who is also Xue Ba 01's academic adviser, the robot's curriculum in the four-year program will cover foundational, artistic, system and task modules, among others. It will receive comprehensive training in sectors such as cognitive modeling, embodied control and action expression, stage role-playing, and participate in doctoral task challenges, reports and performances.
\nIn the future, Xue Ba 01 is expected to join other doctoral students in classrooms, where it will learn theory and engage in drama practice, and further study at key laboratories featuring the integration of AI and performing arts.
\n"We see significant meaning in the program," Li said. "If the robot could learn well to become a good 'performer', it can serve to provide emotional values for humans in the future. A human performer may get exhausted after dozens of shows, but robots won't. It can also help in longtime companionship, as well as many other scenes that require human interaction."
\nLi pointed out that their challenges in the four-year program lie not only in the robotics technology sector, but also in acting. With joint efforts, they expect to make breakthroughs in the robot's interaction with the physical world, especially in its movements, expressions and gestures with humanlike beauty and emotions.
\n"The doctoral program for robotics is a groundbreaking educational experiment that requires 'unity of knowledge and action'. Robots have the ability to learn fast, which will have an important impact on future education. We must train them to understand people, scenes and arts," said Zhang Jianwei, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Senior members of the Communist Party of China and CPC-led Eighth Route Army talk with a member of the US observation group in Yan'an in 1944.
\nWhile China's meteorology is dominated by the use of satellites and computer modeling today, its modern origins can be traced back to a cave at the foot of Qingliang Mountain in Yan'an, Shaanxi province, in March 1945.
\nIn the cave, a group of young Chinese learned about modern meteorology and the use of wireless communication devices with meteorologists from the United States Army Observation Group, or as its members called it, the Dixie Mission.
\nUsing their knees as desks, stones as stools, and mixing soot with water to take notes, the trainees formed a meteorological training team, marking the beginning of meteorological undertakings led by the Communist Party of China. Six of the 21 trainees established the Party's first batch of six weather stations. Later that year, the Party's first weather observatory was put into service.
\nIn the final years of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), while bombs thundered across the skies of the Pacific and Europe burned with the fire of resistance, a quieter collaboration was taking shape in the loess hills of northwestern China.
\nBy 1944, the tide of war had turned as Allied forces were gaining ground and the Chinese battlefield had grown crucial to the Pacific theater. US bombers based in Chengdu in Sichuan province, Kunming in Yunnan province, and Hengyang in Hunan province, were launching raids deep into Japanese-held territory and over the Japanese mainland.
\nCommenting on the situation 80 years ago, Yang Zengjun, an official from today's Yan'an Meteorological Bureau, said that as US aircraft often needed to land in northern China due to fuel limits, accurate meteorological data from areas controlled by the CPC became vital.
\nThat summer, the US Army Observation Group arrived in Yan'an to discuss the possibility of establishing weather observation stations across the region. They also proposed establishing weather stations in Communist-controlled areas and deploying US personnel to collect data, which raised concerns over national sovereignty, Yang said.
\nWang Zheng, then director of the Third Bureau of the Central Military Commission, refused their request. "We would rather forgo any equipment than compromise our national sovereignty. If you are sincere, offer guidance in teaching. Our weather stations will be built by our own graduates," Wang said at the time.
\nThe two sides made an agreement that the US would supply equipment and training, while the Chinese would staff and run the stations. The Qingliang Mountain Meteorological Training Team was then formed and had instructors, including US military meteorologists and Zhang Naizhao, a Tsinghua University meteorology graduate who also played the role of interpreter.
\nDuring the three-month training course, the trainees studied atmospheric science, observation techniques and wireless communication. There were no desks, electricity or proper paper. Classes often took place outdoors when the weather allowed.
\nThe lecture notes were scrawled on the backs of old books or reused pamphlets. Evenings were dimly lit by makeshift lamps fashioned from used ink bottles, according to the introduction at the exhibition center of meteorological development in Yan'an.
\nIn May 1945, during the graduation ceremony of the first class, Ye Jianying, chief of staff of the Central Military Commission, who would become a marshal in 1955, addressed the new meteorologists. "You are the first generation of meteorological workers in our Party and our army. Your work marks the birth of our meteorological endeavor," Ye said.
\nSoon after, six weather stations were established by the graduates in the CPC-led Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia area and revolutionary base areas in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces. They carried their instruments, along with portable radio sets, on muleback through forests and over mountains, setting up stations that would prove critical to both combat and flight operations.
\nGe Shimin, one of the 21 trainees, was dispatched to Chi'an village, Shexian county, a Communist-led base area in today's Hebei province.
\n"I conducted observations twice a day, morning and evening, recording temperature, air pressure, and identifying cloud types with my eyes. I also visually estimated cloud height and visibility range. After compiling the data into a telegram, I sent the consolidated weather information to the Dixie Mission in Yan'an," Ge recalled in his book Days in Chi'an.
\nAt that time, the US military was bombing Japanese military targets in occupied areas. Their planes were often shot down and crash-landed in CPC-led revolutionary areas. Surviving US pilots were escorted by locals or stationed troops of the CPC, sometimes using donkeys, to the regional military headquarters, according to Ge.
\n"When US pilots were brought in, I would send a message to Yan'an, and upon receiving a reply with timing instructions, I would go to the Changning airfield to meet the plane. I provided weather forecasts in advance and guided the landing," Ge wrote in the book.
\nAccording to a collection of the US Army Observation Group, compiled by the national archives administration, US Army Colonel David D. Barrett believed the Communists greatly helped the Dixie Mission.
\n"They collected weather forecasts for our navy and air force, which made crucial contributions. Thanks to the cooperation, many small radio stations and instruments for directing operations were sent to the remote parts of the areas under Communist control. An astonishing volume of useful weather reports came from those tiny radio posts," Barrett said.
\nIn January 1945, Major General George E. Stratemeyer, a senior commander of the US Army Air Force, sent a message to CPC leader Zhu De to express his gratitude for the Party's provision of meteorological intelligence and their assistance to the US Army Air Force in meteorological operations.
\n"Colonel Ellsworth, inspector of the 10th weather region, recently returned from a visit to Yan'an and reported to me the excellent meteorological work carried out by the North China government and its significant contribution to our joint war effort," Stratemeyer said.
\nEllsworth believed that the meteorological school jointly built by the two sides and the graduates had greatly improved the efficiency of the US air force's meteorological operations, Stratemeyer added.
\nIn September 1945, following Japan's surrender, the Chinese military took over the US meteorological station in Yan'an. A group of 11 people, led by Zhang Naizhao and staffed with graduates of the training program, established the CPC's first official weather observatory.
\nBarrett recalled that in September, after he left the mission, several well-known meteorological observers were sent to Yan'an to join this team. "These experts launched weather balloons every day, attaching them to radios so that they could automatically report weather conditions from the sky, which is a meteorological miracle," he said.
\nIn March 1947, the weather observatory was moved from Yan'an along with the Central Military Commission, and was renamed the Meteorological Team of the Third Bureau of the Central Military Commission.

Wan Xiangqi poses with his bicycle at a rocky shore in Sanya, Hainan province, before launching a long ride to Mohe in Heilongjiang province last year.
\n![](\"https://mobile.chinadaily.com.cn/cn/resfile/2025-08-05/007/20250805_007_01_89.png\")
Wan poses on the street of Mohe after finishing the journey from Sanya last year.
\nAt China Three Gorges University, students often spot a figure striding across campus with a weathered backpack — Wan Xiangqi, a post-1990s professor known as the "cycling scholar".
\nOver 12 years, he has pedaled more than 10,000 kilometers across China. From the tropical shores of Sanya, Hainan province, to the frozen tundra of Mohe in Heilongjiang province, he has mapped the nation's contours with his bicycle tires while bridging the gap between academia and adventure.
\nIn 2010, as a freshman, Wan stumbled upon The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake in the library, which struck his heart deeply. He still remembers the declaration of the explorer from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) that "a true man should gaze upon the eastern seas at dawn and the western mountains by dusk".
\nStarting with a solo circumnavigation of Hainan island, Wan combined his wanderlust with scientific purpose. Tasked by the National Geological Exploration and Testing Center to collect sand samples for analysis of titanium — a mineral critical to China's defense industry — he spent summers traversing 18 counties, documenting coordinates and environmental conditions.
\n"Titanium is the backbone of national security," he said, referencing dog-eared copies of China's Mineral Resources Strategy.
\nLast summer, Wan embarked on his most grueling journey, which was a 6,500-km ride from Sanya to Mohe. He braved rainforests, 4,000-meter-high mountain passes, and the desolate expanses of the Greater Hinggan Mountains. "Every crease on the map holds unknowns," he said, "but Xu Xiake taught me that answers lie on the road," he said.
\n"Without books, traveling 10,000 miles makes one merely a courier," Wan added, quoting philosopher Wang Yangming from the Ming Dynasty.
\nHis saddlebags always carry texts: The Silk Road guided him through the ancient trade route, while Tibetan Book of Living and Dying lent perspective during his high-altitude rides.
\nOn his Sanya-Mohe ride, historian Qian Mu's Outline of National History became a talisman. "Respect for China's past isn't locked in museums. It flows through our rivers and mountains," he said, echoing Qian's words.
\nWhen asked about his toughest challenge, Wan said: "Not the mountains or isolation, but the night before departure."
\nIn June 2022, perched on Sanya's cliffs, he scribbled his fears in the margins of the China Geographic Atlas: "What if I get lost? What if my bike fails? Taking that first pedal stroke is declaring war on fear," he wrote.
\nThat resolve spills into his classrooms. As a Marxist theory lecturer, he once tossed a 200-million-year-old basalt rock which he collected in Mohe onto desks. "This stone witnessed dinosaurs and now sees poverty alleviation. That's history's depth," he told students.
\nHe pairs Ordinary World, a novel of struggle, with field trips to the Loess Plateau. "The rustle of turning pages," he said, "makes me closer to truth than the click of a 'like' button."
\nWan's office shelves display relics of his journeys: Hainan coral, Gobi Desert stones, birchbark from Mohe — each tagged with coordinates. His digital archives hold thousands of pages on mineral deposits, dialects and rural transformation. "These will go to the university library," he said. "Maybe a student will find their own courage here."
\nAt a campus lecture last year, he told a rapt audience: "Progress is demanding of those who carry ink-stained books into muddy fields."
\nAfterward, a freshman clutched a China Geographic Atlas — its cover inscribed by Wan, claiming that the first mile might start with turning this page.
\nZhao Chunhua, director of the China Three Gorges University Library, said that Wan truly lives by the principle of "reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles".
\n"He masters both the written word and the unwritten lessons of the world — immersing himself in books while exploring the grandeur of China's landscapes. His life is a bridge between scholarship and the soul of our land," Zhao said.
\n"Through his reading sessions, Wan does more than sharing knowledge. He reveals the power of literature to carry the weight of Chinese culture and the awe of our natural heritage. This is not just education; it's a vivid 'gold-standard ideological lesson' that inspires students to see learning as a journey of mind and spirit," he added.

Several flexible workers take a break at a service station in Beijing's Dongcheng district on June 25.
\nSHANGHAI — After a tiring journey of 600 kilometers, Liu Chunliang pulled into a logistics park and hopped out of his truck. After taking a shower in a nearby building, he enjoyed some hearty dumplings and then had a brief nap in a rest lounge while his truck was being unloaded.
\nThe building where Liu took the much-needed break is located in the Hengdi logistics park in Shanghai's Jiading district. These facilities have transformed the park from a mere transfer site for goods into a vital rest stop for long-haul drivers such as Liu.
\n"I make round trips between Xuzhou (in Jiangsu province) and Shanghai eight to ten times a month. There used to be no place for me to get some rest along the way, but now I feel at home here in the park," said Liu.
\nLiu has benefited from a wider array of initiatives implemented by Jiading district to support gig workers in the area. As the gig economy continues to grow across China, cities are responding by establishing rest lounges, offering affordable dining options, and providing skill training for gig workers who play a crucial role in keeping urban life moving.
\nThe number of flexible workers in China exceeded 265 million in 2024, including 175 million engaged in platform-based gig work, according to an industry report by Hangzhou-based Gongmall, a digital solutions provider for the gig sector.
\nThey typically work as ride-hailing drivers, food delivery riders and long-haul drivers, among other trades. While making life more convenient for residents, these flexible workers often scramble to find facilities to meet their own basic needs — whether it is using the bathroom, recharging their mobile phones and electric bikes, or simply taking a moment to rest.
\nJiading district has set up stopover hubs for both ride-hailing drivers and food delivery riders. One such hub, located in Zhaqiao village, offers catering services and rental apartments. Here, ride-hailing drivers can take naps in massage chairs while their cars charge outside. The budget-friendly cafeteria even provides meals outside regular dining hours.
\n"For meals, I used to grab some buns or snacks in the car, eating when I could and often going hungry. Now, not only do I eat well, but I can also rest properly, so I don't feel drowsy after long hours of driving," said driver Wu Yigui, who was dining in the cafeteria.
\nThe driver from Southwest China's Guizhou province has also made this service hub his temporary home, renting a shared apartment for 650 yuan ($91) per month — an affordable option in Shanghai.
\nFood delivery riders have their rest lounges as well. On a typical workday afternoon, Jiang Zhongqiang, a rider for the food delivery platform Ele.me, stopped outside one of these lounges in Jiading. After replacing the battery for his electric bike, he stepped into the lounge, where he refilled his water bottle and plugged in his cellphone to charge while he enjoyed his meal.
\nIn 2022, the Chinese government issued a guideline aimed at improving gig economy services to boost employment. The country has been focusing on improving welfare for this increasingly significant segment of the workforce in recent years.
\nIn June, China released guidelines aimed at safeguarding public wellbeing and addressing the most pressing concerns of the people. These guidelines emphasized the need to improve the social insurance system for flexible workers. They also called for the gradual integration of flexible workers into the housing provident fund system.
\nRest stops for gig workers have proliferated in major cities across China. In Beijing's Chaoyang district alone, there are 2,912 service stations where the district's 83,000 flexible workers can recharge between tasks. One such lounge, located in the bustling Shuangjing commercial district, operates around the clock, allowing delivery riders to access it even deep in the night.
\nThe lounge, run by subdistrict government offices, also organizes skill training, festival celebrations, and reading activities for gig workers to foster a sense of belonging.
\nThese efforts extend beyond prosperous metropolises. In Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region, 2,077 rest stations have been established for gig workers. Their locations are conveniently integrated into navigation apps for easy access. In addition to providing free drinking water, charging and leisure facilities, and medications, the region has also organized free health check-ups for 35,000 gig workers.
\nTalking about the rest lounges in Jiading, Zhu Xuguang, an official with the Jiading branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, said that the rest stops have become a physical and spiritual harbor for gig workers.

As the gig economy continues to grow across China, cities are responding by establishing rest lounges, offering affordable dining options, and providing skill training for gig workers who play a crucial role in keeping urban life moving.
\nThe number of flexible workers in China exceeded 265 million in 2024, including 175 million engaged in platform-based gig work, according to an industry report by Hangzhou-based Gongmall, a digital solutions provider for the gig sector.
\nThey typically work as ride-hailing drivers, food delivery riders and long-haul drivers, among other trades. While making life more convenient for residents, these flexible workers often scramble to find facilities to meet their own basic needs — whether it is using the bathroom, recharging their mobile phones and electric bikes, or simply taking a moment to rest.
\nJiading district has set up stopover hubs for both ride-hailing drivers and food delivery riders. One such hub, located in Zhaqiao village, offers catering services and rental apartments. Here, ride-hailing drivers can take naps in massage chairs while their cars charge outside. The budget-friendly cafeteria even provides meals outside regular dining hours.
\n"For meals, I used to grab some buns or snacks in the car, eating when I could and often going hungry. Now, not only do I eat well, but I can also rest properly, so I don't feel drowsy after long hours of driving," said driver Wu Yigui, who was dining in the cafeteria.
\nThe driver from Southwest China's Guizhou province has also made this service hub his temporary home, renting a shared apartment for 650 yuan ($91) per month — an affordable option in Shanghai.
\nFood delivery riders have their rest lounges as well. On a typical workday afternoon, Jiang Zhongqiang, a rider for the food delivery platform Ele.me, stopped outside one of these lounges in Jiading. After replacing the battery for his electric bike, he stepped into the lounge, where he refilled his water bottle and plugged in his cellphone to charge while he enjoyed his meal.
\nIn 2022, the Chinese government issued a guideline aimed at improving gig economy services to boost employment. The country has been focusing on improving welfare for this increasingly significant segment of the workforce in recent years.
\nIn June, China released guidelines aimed at safeguarding public wellbeing and addressing the most pressing concerns of the people. These guidelines emphasized the need to improve the social insurance system for flexible workers. They also called for the gradual integration of flexible workers into the housing provident fund system.
\nRest stops for gig workers have proliferated in major cities across China. In Beijing's Chaoyang district alone, there are 2,912 service stations where the district's 83,000 flexible workers can recharge between tasks. One such lounge, located in the bustling Shuangjing commercial district, operates around the clock, allowing delivery riders to access it even deep in the night.
\nThe lounge, run by subdistrict government offices, also organizes skill training, festival celebrations, and reading activities for gig workers to foster a sense of belonging.
\nThese efforts extend beyond prosperous metropolises. In Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region, 2,077 rest stations have been established for gig workers. Their locations are conveniently integrated into navigation apps for easy access. In addition to providing free drinking water, charging and leisure facilities, and medications, the region has also organized free health check-ups for 35,000 gig workers.
\nTalking about the rest lounges in Jiading, Zhu Xuguang, an official with the Jiading branch of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, said that the rest stops have become a physical and spiritual harbor for gig workers.

\n \n
\n \n 两年前，动画短片集《中国奇谭》的首部短片《小妖怪的夏天》一经推出便惊艳四座，单集即突破1亿播放，获得大量好评。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 两年过去，浪浪山的故事还在延续。8月2日，作为《中国奇谭》系列首部动画电影，\n \n 《浪浪山小妖怪》正式上映\n \n 。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n \n Nobody\n \n \n , the first feature-length film adapted from the hit animated series\n \n \n Yao\n \n \n \n \n \n —\n \n \n \n \n \n Chinese Folktales\n \n \n , set to premiere in Chinese theaters on Saturday.\n \n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 影片由《小妖怪的夏天》原班主创打造，这一次小猪妖勇敢迈出了浪浪山，和蛤蟆精、黄鼠狼精、猩猩怪三只同样无名的小妖组成\n \n “草根取经团”，假扮唐僧师徒，踏上了一段荒诞又热血的西行冒险\n \n 。\n \n
\n\n \n

\n \n
\n \n \n The film, a spin-off based of one of the eight stand-alone short stories from the\n \n \n Yao — Chinese Folktales\n \n \n anthology,\n \n \n Nobody\n \n \n follows the adventures of four grassroots monsters: a pig, a toad, a chimpanzee and a mink.\n \n \n
\n\n \n \n Disguised as the Buddhist monk Xuanzang and his three disciples, they set out on a quest to obtain sacred Buddhist scrolls in hopes of achieving immortality. However, their quest soon takes an unexpected turn as they find themselves battling evil and saving innocent villagers.\n \n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 截至8月6日中午12时，\n \n 票房累计突破2亿，豆瓣评分8.6分\n \n ，这个聚焦西游世界中无名小妖怪的故事，再一次击中观众内心。\n \n

\n \n \n “笔墨入镜”的中式美学\n \n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 影片中，四只小妖西行路上，水墨氤氲的山川云气在银幕上舒展留白，工笔勾勒的精细角色在光影间跃然生动，\n \n 每一帧画面都是极具东方美学意蕴的流动画卷\n \n 。\n \n

\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 电影不仅延续了上海美术电影制片厂的美学风格，更为经典动画注入了当代活力。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 据澎湃新闻报道，为了在大银幕上呈现这个植根于中国传统文化、又充满奇幻想象的“浪浪山”世界，\n \n 影片汇集了一支超600人的制作团队，精细制作超1800组镜头，打磨2000多张场景图\n \n 。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n \n The production took over two years and involved a team of more than 600 animators. It features over 1,800 animated shots and more than 2,000 background paintings, with an aesthetic inspired by traditional Chinese brushwork.\n \n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 电影监制、艺术总监陈廖宇在接受潮新闻采访时曾表示：观众看了电影之后，可能会发现好像从头到尾都是绿色，因为场景大多是在山林之间这种自然环境，但\n \n 绿与绿之间是不一样的，变化非常多，有非常细腻的光影\n \n 。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n \n 图源：微博@浪浪山小妖怪视频截图\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n \n “笔墨入镜”，是陈廖宇看来这部电影最大的特点之一\n \n ，也是主创团队努力追求的创新点。“不仅仅是用镜\n \n \n 头去表现国画的笔墨，而是反过来，用国画中的笔墨来构建电影的镜头语言。”\n \n \n 陈廖宇说。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n \n Chen Liaoyu, the film's executive producer and art director, shared that the visual style is rooted in traditional ink wash painting, enriched with vibrant colors, dynamic lighting, and a realistic sense of space to create a fantastical yet believable world for the audience.\n \n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n \n 在动作的设计上，创作者们追求“神韵”与“气韵”的表达\n \n 。小妖们在打斗或行走时，背景的山川云气会随着动作的“气”而流动；在受到重击或奔跑时，\n \n \n 水墨晕染和飞白效果被巧妙利用来表现动作的速度感和力量感……\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n \n 图源：微博@浪浪山小妖怪视频截图\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n \n 影片的声音设计\n \n \n \n 也\n \n \n \n 充满巧思\n \n \n \n ，埙、洞箫、竹笛等\n \n 中国传统乐器与西洋乐器巧妙地融合\n \n 。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 此外，不少观众发现，\n \n 电影里许多庙宇楼阁上都有山西古建筑的影子，\n \n \n \n 大同的华严寺、\n \n \n \n 太原的晋祠水镜台、浑源的永安\n \n \n \n \n 寺……\n \n \n
\n\n \n \n
\n \n \n
\n \n \n \n 电影导演、编剧於水告诉央视新闻说，每次去采风看到这些古代建筑，就仿佛跨越时空，与那个时代的工匠对视，这种令人震撼的共鸣让他想要落泪，想让更多观众感受到这种美。\n \n \n \n
\n\n \n \n 图源：微博@浪浪山小妖怪视频截图\n \n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 而这些细节背后，是制作团队为平衡工业化生产与手绘风格所做的艰难探索。在三维动画盛行的时代，\n \n 《浪浪山小妖怪》坚持二维呈现\n \n 绝非保守。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 陈廖宇说：“当我们刻画角色微妙神态时，二维手法带来的质感、笔触包含一种温度和情感，天然地与人亲近，就像生活中我们追求手工制作一样。表达小人物、生活化的故事，二维不是劣势，而会让人感到亲切。”\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 《猴子捞月》导演、中国著名动画人周克勤也在首映礼上盛赞：二维动画的艺术性和绘画性无可替代，它能更好地承载导演的美术追求，\n \n 中国动画不能没有二维形式\n \n 。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n \n 背景板小妖也能当主角\n \n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 影片画面秉承着中国传统的水墨艺术，但故事却映照着当代普通人的现实。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 如果说小时候我们看《西游记》，代入的是师徒四人，那么来到《浪浪山小妖怪》，\n \n \n 我们便进入了\n \n \n \n 没有主角光环、甚至连名字都没有的底层小妖怪的视角\n \n 。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 恰如该片的英文片名“Nobody”（无名小辈），导演於水说，他曾想为小妖怪们取名字，但很快就放弃了这个念头。\n \n “我们的名字最终可能也不会有人记得，小妖怪们也是。”\n \n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n \n 图源：微博@浪浪山小妖怪视频截图\n \n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 据陈廖宇和於水介绍，为了构建这个别样的“取经”故事，他们瞄准了小野猪、蛤蟆、猩猩、黄鼠狼这些“最草根”的动物，并赋予了这4个小妖怪完全不同的性格。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 观众既可以把它理解为一个人身上的不同特质，也可以理解为不同人身上的一个侧影。比如，可能有人说自己就像黄鼠狼精，刚毕业的时候很活跃，工作两年之后也变得不爱说话了。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n \n The film appeals to young urban audiences by depicting workplace challenges. The characters face obstacles and misunderstandings while representing the experiences of ordinary urban employees and their efforts to maintain personal values and goals.\n \n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 这种对小人物的刻画引发了观众的强烈共鸣，许多观众都在这部动画中看到了自己的影子。如总制片人李早所说，这些主角以外小妖怪的生活，从未被详细书写过，“这些小妖怪更像你我他”。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n \n 无名之辈同样闪闪发光\n \n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 而电影不能仅仅停留在共鸣上，陈廖宇认为，\n \n 电影中的角色要代替观众完成某种精神上的目标\n \n 。比如说我们心中曾经掠过那么一丝勇气，但\n \n 在现实中又很难真正去贯彻和落实，但小妖怪替自己做到了\n \n ，我们会由衷感谢这份决心和勇气。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 小妖怪们没有成为孙悟空，却也能斩妖除魔，他们不是西游故事里的主角，也可以去做想做的事。\n \n

\n \n 主创团队陈廖宇、於水认为，\n \n 每个人都有将自己困住的浪浪山\n \n 。“我们太多时候被自己所束缚，但其实有些事情完全可以去做。人生这么短，去尝试，去做吧！”\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 即使没有一个筋斗十万八千里的本领，那踉跄几里地也值得被歌颂。\n \n “我们未必都能达成最初的目标，但在奔向目标的路上，希望每个人都能活成自己喜欢的样子。”\n \n \n

\n \n \n 2025年8月1日，周五\n \n \n \n \n 。\n \n \n
\n\n \n \n
\n \n \n
\n \n \n 周三，大会落幕，周四天气又开始阴了。\n \n \n
\n\n \n \n
\n \n \n
\n \n \n 会议是这个月最大的预期，从内容上来看，很多解读是说不足预期。\n \n \n
\n\n \n \n
\n \n \n
\n \n \n 个人以为，在与老美签订协议之前，都应该储备多于发布，随机应变更多。。\n \n \n
\n\n \n \n 。\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n
\n \n 周末大扫除，看着一个个整理出来的箱子，很结实，也还很新，不舍得扔，但是家里也确实没有多余的空间来放置，便有些恋恋不舍。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 终于下定了决心，把这些东西拿了出来准备丢到垃圾桶里，想着要是能碰到一个正好需要箱子的人该多好，这样就能物尽其用。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 可惜，没碰到，只好放在垃圾桶里，走几步回头，忽然发现一个人将箱子从垃圾桶里拉出来，粗暴的撕开，踩在脚底下，心中有一种被撕裂的感觉。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 这样好的东西竟然就是这样的命运！\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 但这样的想法好不讲道理，明明是自己已经不要的东西了，为啥还要来干涉别人如何利用的事情呢？\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 于是，自损重兵。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 牌例：\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 叫牌过程如下：\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 西家首攻HK，明手摊牌后布南家看到：\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 由干庄家在两门高花中各有一个无法避免的失张，因而在防守方持有CA-K-9-8四张将牌的情况下，定约的前景实在不妙。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 首先，在自己开叫1C之后，西家在直接位置叫出的加倍显然是技术性，这就是说，西家不仅持有开叫的牌力，而且他的草花至多为单张，甚至是缺门：\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 其次，东家应叫的1NT，表明他在草花中有很好的止张且在另外三门中没有任何可叫的四张套，东家的牌力当为6～10点。\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 鉴于西家再叫出的2S乃首攻出的HK，可以认定西家不但持有五张黑桃，而且持有SK-J及HK-Q，如果他还持有单张草花，定约即可轻松完成；\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 但是，如果CA—K—9—8四张将牌全都在东家手中呢？\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 果然如此的话，只有让明手获得两次进手，才能确保仅失两墩将牌据此，南家手中以HA赢得第一墩后回出S5，西家以SK得进并转攻DQ，庄家以DA得进后续出S6给明手的SQ进手；\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 明手打出将牌，东家阴出C8，手中盖上C10，从而证实西家果然草花缺门；\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 庄家随即打出SA给明手将吃！\n \n
\n\n \n
\n \n
\n \n 明手打出最后一张将牌，南家出色地完成了定约。\n \n
\n\n
