He said China's recovery of sovereignty over the South China Sea islands was carried out under international legal instruments such as the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, which required Japan to surrender territory it had seized illegally.</p>\n<p> "A significant advancement in civilization after World War II was the recognition that acts of war and the use of force are generally illegal," Zhang said. "Territories, including the South China Sea islands seized by Japan from China through illegal means, cannot confer legitimate titles or rights and should revert to China."</p>\n<p> He said China's efforts to reclaim these territories represent "a concrete practice of the postwar international order and rules embodied by the spirit of the UN Charter".</p>\n<p> Anna Malindog-Uy, a professor with the Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute, said the South China Sea is "relatively peaceful, stable and secure, except for the Philippines-China bilateral relations" over the waters.</p>\n<p> "It's not necessarily because Filipinos want to quarrel with China," she said. "It's more about the foreign policy that is very much on the side of the United States. And the United States is pushing and pushing, maximizing this kind of foreign policy that is patterned after the United States' foreign policy."</p>\n<p> Malindog-Uy said Washington sees China as its main competitor, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, and seeks to weaken China through potential military conflicts over the South China Sea or Taiwan, similar to how it challenges Russia in Europe through Ukraine. Under President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos, she said, the Philippines — heavily reliant on the United States — was positioned as a proxy in conflicts with China.</p>\n<p> She said that China's claims to sovereignty over the South China Sea are better supported by historical documents and international law, noting that Chinese vessels were navigating the sea 2,000 years ago during precolonial times.</p>\n<p> Other claimant states such as the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei, however, cite the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. That convention, which China also ratified, gives countries exclusive rights to explore and exploit resources within 200 nautical miles (370 kilometers) from their coastlines.Malindog-Uy noted the convention concerns resource rights, not sovereignty.</p>\n<p> "To be frank, the problem in the South China Sea cannot be resolved anytime soon," she said, adding that multilateral efforts are vital for managing disputes and easing tensions.</p>\n<p> She emphasized the importance of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in advancing a code of conduct that is recognized and observed by all nations.</p>\n<p> <span>limenghan@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

There lies Grigory Arimovich Kurichenko (1903-1939), a Soviet air force hero whose bravery and sacrifice during World War II left an indelible mark on the Chinese people — especially on a devoted mother and her son who volunteered in succession to serve as the tomb's caretakers for nearly seven decades.</p>\n<p> "This is a responsibility, a gesture of gratitude and a testament to the conscience of the Chinese people," said 71-year-old Wei Yingxiang, the second-generation tomb guardian and guide of the Martyr Kurichenko's Cemetery.</p>\n<p> Kurichenko, commander of a Soviet Union air squadron, led a daring mission against the invading Japanese forces on Oct 14, 1939.

"description": "<div></div><p> China on Friday announced tightened rules over the mining and processing of rare earths, extending enhanced regulations to imported minerals and requiring enterprises to report the flow of the strategic materials monthly.</p>\n<p> The rules were released as guidelines on the implementation of the country's rare earth management regulations, which took effect in October.</p>\n<p> The rules, effective immediately, stipulate how government agencies should manage quotas for designated companies and make the flow of rare earth products traceable, according to three departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.</p>\n<p> As the MIIT noted, rare earths are important strategic mineral resources, and changes in the industry mean that earlier rules were no longer suitable for current needs.</p>\n<p> Despite that, some still try and misinterpret the move as the latest sign of China's "weaponization" of the strategic items.</p>\n<p> An important reason that they claim this every time the country adjusts its rare earth rules is that they have long taken it for granted that China is "obliged" to sell rare earths for peanuts.</p>\n<p> That was what China did for decades before the mid-2000s when the country's rare earth elements' export prices were so low — a few or a few dozen dollars per kilogram depending on the element — that the prices didn't even cover the production and environmental costs under higher industry standards and pollution-control requirements.</p>\n<p> Rare earth elements, which are called "industrial vitamins", enable huge technological functions, and they are widely applied in the electronics, automotive, energy, defense, aerospace, healthcare and medical tech industries.</p>\n<p> That means China has made tremendous contributions to the high-tech industry's rise in the United States, Japan, the Republic of Korea and some major European countries, all top rare earth elements importers, since it started becoming a major producer, processor and exporter of rare earth-related items in the early 1980s.</p>\n<p> To some extent, it was the large amounts of high-quality rare earth elements China provided at an extremely low price in those years that enabled the fast development of relevant industries that played a pivotal role in these developed countries' fast development since the 1980s.</p>\n<p> Even after China started reforming its rare earths industry about 20 years ago achieving remarkable progress in the refining, separation and purification of rare earth elements and magnet manufacturing, the export price of its rare earth-related items remained markedly lower than that of any other exporters.</p>\n<p> In the past, extensive and unregulated development led to the undervaluation of resources and ecological damage. This unsustainable model not only threatened to deplete the country's natural resource endowment but also posed risks to the long-term stability of the global industry and supply chains.</p>\n<p> Currently, with about 40 percent of the world's known rare earths reserves, China, which holds core know-how on smelting and separating rare earth elements, mines around 70 percent of the materials and processes nearly 90 percent of the world's rare earths.</p>\n<p> China's innovations in rare earths processing technology in the early 21st century have contributed to the development of indispensable modern technologies, such as semiconductors, renewable energy and artificial intelligence.</p>\n<p> But China's contribution — be it the historical one at considerable environmental cost to itself or the current one that comes along with its tech breakthroughs — has long been ignored by some.</p>\n<p> Instead, they try and hijack China's reform of its rare earths industry with their "weaponization" claim as if to ensure the developed economies' access to high-quality, clean and sufficient rare earth elements is an obligation for China. Not to mention some developed countries have implemented discriminatory restrictive export policies in high-tech products and services against China while trying to contain China's high-tech progress by attacking its technology enterprises.</p>\n<p> Despite that, being well aware of the important role it plays in the world's rare earths sector, and hence its responsibility to help sustain the global industry and supply chains, China has never "weaponized" its processing or exports of rare earth elements.</p>\n<p> The series of actions China has taken in recent years to adjust its rules and policies on rare earth-related items have been driven by the need to keep its rare earths industry sustainable.</p>\n<p> The series of breakthroughs China has made in rare earths processing technology since the new century and the improved performances of its rarLine truncated

In the World Anti-Fascist War, the Asian theater made perhaps the greatest contribution to the Allied victory, as it began much earlier and lasted longer than the Western theater.</p>\n<p> Following Japan's acceptance of the 1945 Potsdam Declaration and unconditional surrender to the Allied forces on Aug 15, 1945, Japanese representatives signed the instrument of surrender aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on Sept 2, 1945. In China, the surrender signing ceremony was held in Nanjing on Sept 9, 1945, ending the 14-year-long Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.</p>\n<p> However, Japan's attitude toward its history of aggression raises a major question, for which the regression of Japanese governments' position is to blame. Japan issued three "statements". The first was the 1982 statement by then chief secretary of the Japanese cabinet Kiichi Miyazawa which included the "close-neighbors clause" of "not provoking neighboring countries" by including controversial issues in history textbooks, and promised that "the Japanese government will correct contents recorded in textbooks in a responsible manner".</p>\n<p> The second was the 1993 statement by then chief secretary of the Japanese cabinet Yohei Kono who acknowledged that the Japanese military established and managed "comfort stations", and "recruited" and retained "comfort women".</p>\n<p> And the third was the 1995 statement by then prime minister Tomiichi Murayama on the 50th anniversary of Japan's surrender. Murayama expressed "deep reflection" on Japan's past colonial rule and aggression, emphasizing the need to learn lessons from history.

In the World Anti-Fascist War, the Asian theater made perhaps the greatest contribution to the Allied victory, as it began much earlier and lasted longer than the Western theater.</p>\n<p> Following Japan's acceptance of the 1945 Potsdam Declaration and unconditional surrender to the Allied forces on Aug 15, 1945, Japanese representatives signed the instrument of surrender aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on Sept 2, 1945. In China, the surrender signing ceremony was held in Nanjing on Sept 9, 1945, ending the 14-year-long Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.</p>\n<p> However, Japan's attitude toward its history of aggression raises a major question, for which the regression of Japanese governments' position is to blame. Japan issued three "statements". The first was the 1982 statement by then chief secretary of the Japanese cabinet Kiichi Miyazawa which included the "close-neighbors clause" of "not provoking neighboring countries" by including controversial issues in history textbooks, and promised that "the Japanese government will correct contents recorded in textbooks in a responsible manner".</p>\n<p> The second was the 1993 statement by then chief secretary of the Japanese cabinet Yohei Kono who acknowledged that the Japanese military established and managed "comfort stations", and "recruited" and retained "comfort women".</p>\n<p> And the third was the 1995 statement by then prime minister Tomiichi Murayama on the 50th anniversary of Japan's surrender. Murayama expressed "deep reflection" on Japan's past colonial rule and aggression, emphasizing the need to learn lessons from history. He said that "our task is to convey to younger generations the horrors of war, so that we never repeat the errors in our history". These three statements were seen as reflecting Japan's official position on its history of aggression.</p>\n<p> But Japan's "1955 system" collapsed and Japanese society became "generally conservative" in the following years, allowing erroneous historical views to be spread.

Several memorandums of agreement were signed to expand bilateral cooperation in various aspects, and the two nations agreed to launch the second phase of the China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement.</p>\n<p> According to data from the General Administration of Customs of China, the total bilateral trade in goods between China and Pakistan reached $23.1 billion in 2024, an increase of 11.1 percent from the previous year.</p>\n<p> Apart from collaborations in traditional areas, both countries have been working together to strengthen regional security coordination, emphasizing strategic trust, counterterrorism, security dialogue mechanisms and connectivity initiatives.</p>\n<p> Wang Zhimin, a researcher at the Academy of China Open Economy Studies under the University of International Business and Economics, said that economic cooperation between China and Pakistan has delivered tangible benefits to the Pakistani people and injected sustained momentum into the country's long-term development.</p>\n<p> "Pakistan was the first country to forge an all-weather strategic partnership with China, and it remains committed to building an even closer community with a shared future in the new era. The high level of trust and cooperation between the two sides has laid a solid foundation for advancing collaboration under the CPEC," he said.</p>\n<p> Shakeel Ahmad Ramay, CEO of the Asian Institute of Eco-civilization Research and Development in Pakistan, said that the defining feature of China-Pakistan ties is that the relationship is "dynamic" rather than "static".</p>\n<p> Both countries have continued to adapt their ties to new realities based on brotherhood and win-win cooperation. Built on mutual trust, respect and support for each other's core interests, the partnership has become unique in the world, he said.</p>\n<p> He said the CPEC created 236,000 direct jobs over the past decade, with many more generated indirectly as more than 100 small and medium-sized enterprises benefited in its first phase.</p>\n<p> "These achievements highlight the vast potential for deeper cooperation in the new era, with both sides encouraged to invest in developing a skilled workforce and expanding STEM education to meet future demands," Ramay said.</p>\n<p> STEM education is a teaching approach that combines science, technology, engineering and math.</p>\n<p> Zamir Ahmed Awan, founding chair of Global Silk Route Research Alliance and a nonresident fellow at the Beijing-based Center for China and Globalization, said the friendship between China and Pakistan is characterized as "higher than mountains, deeper than oceans, and sweeter than honey".</p>\n<p> "The China-Pakistan partnership has become a stabilizing force amid growing global polarization and security uncertainties. Built on mutual trust and equality, the relationship is reinforced by frequent high-level exchanges that reaffirm strategic commitment and inject new momentum into practical collaborations," he said.</p>\n<p> <b>Addressing challenges</b></p>\n<p> Awan further elaborated that such engagements enable the two sides to align their visions, address common challenges and push forward new initiatives in areas ranging from economic development and regional security to cultural exchanges.</p>\n<p> As the world is facing mounting challenges from frequent regional confrontations and rising unilateralism, experts said China and Pakistan should step up cooperation under the framework of multilateralism, amplify the voice of the Global South, and work together to tackle common challenges while safeguarding fairness and justice.</p>\n<p> Despite global uncertainties, China-Pakistan economic cooperation continues to present major opportunities.

"description": "<div></div><p> Over the past few weeks, I have watched a pop concert, a talk show, a stage play and several films after dusk, as a large number of performances are readily available in the capital city in the evenings.</p>\n<p> I have had a higher willingness to head outdoors to relax and for entertainment this summer. I'm not alone.</p>\n<p> Industry experts have observed that summer is the most active season for nighttime consumption, as the daylight extends and the weather becomes more suitable in the evenings, encouraging more people to step out for fun activities.</p>\n<p> In comparison, nighttime consumption in spring and autumn is relatively stable, and consumers mainly flock to dining and entertainment venues.</p>\n<p> "Outdoor consumption usually declines in winter due to cold weather, and the flow of people tends to concentrate at indoor venues such as restaurants, cinemas and shopping malls. Still, the overall scale of nighttime indoor consumption is smaller than that in summer," said Hong Yong, an associate research fellow at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation.</p>\n<p> Besides the launch of more nighttime performances, major scenic spots, amusement parks, museums and zoos have extended their opening hours or introduced special night tours such as light shows, night performances and night markets.</p>\n<p> Night tours have been highly favored by tourists.</p>\n<p> This summer, the overall booking volume for nighttime travel products has increased by 20 percent year-on-year, according to Qunar, a Beijing-based online travel agency.</p>\n<p> In particular, the Yellow Crane Tower, a landmark in Wuhan, Hubei province, presents an immersive light show at night, and the booking volume of admission tickets for the show has doubled over last year. Other night tours in Xi'an, Shaanxi province; Wuzhen, Zhejiang province; and Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou province, have been quite well-received among travelers.</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, with the opening of night sessions at multiple theme parks nationwide, the booking volumes of their nighttime admission tickets have significantly increased.For instance, the search volume for night tours at Happy Valley in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, this summer has surged nine-fold year-on-year, Qunar found.</p>\n<p> Despite the high popularity of the night tourism economy in the country, there are still some challenges and room for improvement.</p>\n<p> For instance, inadequate urban support facilities, early termination of nighttime public transportation, insufficient supply of public services such as lighting and garbage disposal, have affected consumers' willingness to travel at night, according to LeadLeo Research Institute, a market research provider based in Shanghai.</p>\n<p> The sustainable development of nighttime consumption can't be achieved without the support of public services such as transportation, safety, lighting and sanitation, the consultancy said.</p>\n<p> "Different cities should rely on local cultural IP to create differentiated and innovated nighttime consumption scenes. And local governments should lower operational barriers in terms of taxation and venues, and introduce more high-quality businesses to help promote consumption upgrade," said Wang Yijia, an analyst at LeadLeo.</p>\n<p></p>",

From the timeless teachings of Confucius and Laozi to the strategic brilliance of Sun Tzu and the bureaucratic models of imperial administration, China's civilization has drawn strength from a legacy where culture and statecraft are inseparable.</p>\n<p> It is this deep-rooted fusion of intellectual heritage and political order that has enabled China not only to endure, but to flourish across millennia — adapting through time while remaining steadfast to the guiding principles of its civilization, chief among them, harmony and unity.</p>\n<p> Today, as China takes a more active role on the global stage — participating in international politics, cultural exchange and collaborative efforts to address pressing challenges like climate change and regional instability — it becomes increasingly important to bridge the cultural divide that can fuel misunderstanding and doubt.For China's contributions to be fully recognized and respected, the international community must not only acknowledge its rising influence but also develop a deeper understanding of the cultural values and historical wisdom that shape its global outlook.</p>\n<p> This prompts a central question: How do we foster mutual understanding and trust in the face of lingering skepticism? One key path lies in uncovering the rich historical traces of mutual learning that have long existed between civilizations, and in establishing meaningful comparative dimensions that reveal striking parallels in values, governance and philosophical thought.</p>\n<p> Consider the transmission of imagery from the Shijing (Book of Songs), the most revered Confucian classic and a foundational anthology of 305 poems dating from the 11th to 6th centuries BC. Among them, the long poem July — also known as The Life of Peasants — rose to prominence through successive imperial pictorial interpretations, beginning in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). In a society where peasants made up the vast majority and agriculture underpinned the state, appreciation for the poem became more than literary: It evolved into a subtle political statement, a reflection of leadership grounded in attentiveness to the lives of the people.</p>\n<p> This same imagery, once a cultural and political emblem within imperial China, eventually crossed continents.Visual interpretations of the cyclical rhythms of tilling and weaving made their way to France where they sparked lively debate at the court of Louis XIV over whether agriculture should serve as the foundation of the nation.</p>\n<p> According to Clarissa von Spee, curator at the Cleveland Museum of Art, it was essential for European rulers to know that these images originated from China — not from artistic fancy — as this authenticity gave their discussions real weight. Von Spee curated the 2023 exhibition China's Southern Paradise: Treasures from the Lower Yangzi (Yangtze) Delta, which examined the historical foundations of southern China's economic and cultural ascendancy. The episode stands as a striking example of cross-cultural learning, done consciously in history.</p>\n<p> When it comes to building comparative frameworks and using analogies to bridge gaps in cross-cultural communication, one can look to the narratives crafted by Western museums hosting exhibitions on Chinese culture and history — narratives carefully shaped to help their audiences understand a worldview that may at first seem distant.</p>\n<p> In 2021, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York drew from its own Chinese art collection to present the exhibition Companions in Solitude: Reclusion and Communion in Chinese Art. Inspired by curator Joseph Scheier-Dolberg's experience of working from home during the pandemic — a period of limited social interaction but renewed connections with old friends — the exhibition explored the theme of reclusion in Chinese literati painting. It examined how scholars and hermits pursued spiritual cultivation through solitude while still valuing bonds shared with kindred spirits.</p>\n<p> Maxwell Hearn, head of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Asian Art Department, once drew a compelling comparison between Chinese cursive script and Jackson Pollock's aLine truncated

It impressed me deeply and made me truly want to become a soldier. So, after my graduation in 2017, I chose to enlist and was sent to the PLA Navy's Marine Corps.</p>\n<p> "In 2019, at our camp, I watched on TV the Oct 1 parade celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and I felt envious of those taking part in the National Day parade, wondering when I could participate in a parade someday. Now, I am here, training for the coming parade. It feels like my dream is coming true," he told China Daily in a recent interview at a military compound on the northwestern outskirts of Beijing.</p>\n<p> Yao, now an officer of the PLA Navy's Marine Corps, was selected several months ago as one of two members from his company to participate in the parade on Sept 3, which marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War. The event will be the country's 19th military parade since the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949 and the second V-Day parade.</p>\n<p> During the parade on Sept 3, troops — selected members of the PLA and the People's Armed Police Force, as well as China's militia and reserve service — will line up in formations along Chang'an Avenue in Beijing, and they will be reviewed by President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission.</p>\n<p> A total of 45 marching soldier units, land weaponry groups and aircraft squadrons are set to take part in the parade.</p>\n<p> Yao's assignment is to work with tens of officers and soldiers picked from across the armed forces to carry honorary flags representing time-honored combat units that fought in the war against Japanese invaders.</p>\n<p> "The flag I will carry in the parade was conferred to an infantry company — the predecessor of my present company — in September 1939 for its soldiers' heroic performance in a fierce battle that eliminated many Japanese aggressors. Actually, the company was established in May 1928 and had distinguished itself in battles even before the 1939 engagement," the veteran marine emphasized.</p>\n<p> "Carrying this flag through Tian'anmen Square means a lot to my company and me. It is a symbol of recognition and acknowledgment of my unit's glorious history and has become a great inspiration to my fellow officers and soldiers. It will be recorded in the company's history book and will definitely generate endless energy to propel us into combat traininLine truncated

Indices gauging manufacturing quality competitiveness, satisfaction with quality of life services and satisfaction with public services rose to 85.86, 81.33 and 81.62, respectively.</p>\n<p> To support this growth, China completed the first revision in 15 years of its anti-monopoly law and a third update of its anti-unfair competition law, strengthening competition policy as a legal pillar.</p>\n<p> Deng Zhiyong, deputy head of the SAMR, said that while digital technologies have spurred growth and new business models, risks such as online traffic manipulation, algorithm abuse and disorderly competition are emerging.</p>\n<p> The administration, thereby, has unveiled a draft guideline to tighten oversight over how e-commerce and online platforms charge merchants. The guideline seeks to standardize the way platforms collect commissions, membership fees, technical service charges, information fees and marketing expenses from merchants.</p>\n<p> Wang Xianlin, a member of the expert advisory group on the anti-monopoly commission of the State Council — the nation's Cabinet — said, "Such efforts are expected to bring greater transparency and structure to the way online trading platforms charge merchants, and will rebalance interests and rebuild a healthy platform ecosystem."</p>\n<p> Yang Sheng, deputy head of the National Medical Products Administration, said on Friday that the country's pharmaceutical sector is now the world's second-largest in terms of market size. "China will continue to support global clinical trials, faster launches of more foreign-invested new medicines in the five years to come," Yang said.</p>\n<p> Since the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period, China has approved 265 innovative medical devices, he said, adding that from January to July, the administration had cleared 50 innovative drugs and 49 innovative medical devices.</p>\n<p> The country has also accelerated approvals for pediatric medicines and treatments for rare diseases, with 387 pediatric drugs and 147 rare-disease medicines cleared during the period, effectively meeting the needs of key patient groups, he added.</p>\n<p> Looking ahead, Luo from the SAMR, said the administration will continue to advance fair and unified market regulation, and consistently enhance standardized, impartial and civil law enforcement — thereby contributing more to creating a market-oriented, law-based and internationalized business environment.</p>\n<p> <span>chengyu@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

"description": "<div></div><img src=\"https://mobile.chinadaily.com.cn/cn/resfile/2025-08-23/004/20250823_004_03_26.png\" /><p></p>\n<p> That China, Japan and the Republic of Korea face common challenges makes it imperative that they make joint efforts to finalize a China-Japan-ROK free trade agreement (FTA). A trilateral FTA will not only boost the development of the three countries in the next 10 to 20 years but also inject new vitality into the regional and global economies.</p>\n<p> Economic and trade cooperation among China, Japan and the ROK is at a critical juncture where "standing still means falling behind". Economic globalization led by the United States has failed, with unilateralism and trade protectionism becoming the mainstream in Washington's medium — and long-term policies.</p>\n<p> The US administration has adopted a strategy of "bilateral negotiations with unilateral pressure", which seriously violates the fundamental principles of the World Trade Organization and will most likely push the global economy toward the law of the jungle, significantly increasing the risk of fragmentation and disrupting China-Japan-ROK economic and trade cooperation.</p>\n<p> Therefore, China, Japan and the ROK should accelerate the negotiations on and sign an FTA. Ten years ago, when we discussed the feasibility of a China-EU free trade area with European Union think tanks, the EU was open to the idea of building a China-EU "Silk Road of Tomorrow". Back then, I said if we failed to seize the opportunity to sign a China-EU free trade agreement as soon as possible, the "Silk Road of Tomorrow" might turn into "a withered flower of yesterday".</p>\n<p> Regrettably, that prediction has come true. This is even more true for Northeast Asia. The more tense and turbulent the regional situation becomes, the more necessary it is for China, Japan and the ROK to establish close and stable cooperative relations. To prevent today's China-Japan-ROK FTA from becoming "a withered flower of yesterday", the three sides need to overcome the common regional challenges, adapt to the general trend of the global economy, and make the strategic decision to sign a trilateral FTA.</p>\n<p> Given the global changes, the finalization of a trilateral FTA is not only a pragmatic choice to safeguard the three sides' development interests, but also a key move to maintain the security and stability of regional industry and supply chains, and the free trade order.</p>\n<p> Trade in services has become the top priority of economic and trade cooperation among China, Japan and the ROK. As major Asian economies, the three countries not only drive global economic growth but also have huge potential for cooperation in trade in services.</p>\n<p> Trilateral cooperation in trade in services will create the largest growth point for the three countries' trade partnership and serve as a stable fulcrum for the upgrading and institutional synergy of Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership rules on trade in services.</p>\n<p> The three countries have significant complementarities in such fields as cross-border data processing, digital healthcare, financial technology and intelligent manufacturing. They can leverage the existing cooperation mechanisms to explore the establishment of channels for facilitating cross-border data flows and mechanisms for mutual recognition of digital platform standards, as well as for setting up pilot cooperation projects in fields such as digital healthcare, smart cities, and digital culture and tourism.</p>\n<p> The key lies in the three countries reaching consensus as soon as possible on market access, rule alignment and standards in services trade.</p>\n<p> Trade in services has become a key priority as well as a difficult factor in the negotiations on a trilateral FTA. Despite that, the competitive nature of the manufacturing sectors of the three countries has intensified, while their complementarity in the field of trade in services has continued to increase. In June this year, while heading a fact-finding team to the ROK, I learned that the country's main request on China's opening-up lies in the services sector, including performing arts and medical aesthetics.

A trilateral FTA will not only boost the development of the three countries in the next 10 to 20 years but also inject new vitality into the regional and global economies.</p>\n<p> Economic and trade cooperation among China, Japan and the ROK is at a critical juncture where "standing still means falling behind". Economic globalization led by the United States has failed, with unilateralism and trade protectionism becoming the mainstream in Washington's medium — and long-term policies.</p>\n<p> The US administration has adopted a strategy of "bilateral negotiations with unilateral pressure", which seriously violates the fundamental principles of the World Trade Organization and will most likely push the global economy toward the law of the jungle, significantly increasing the risk of fragmentation and disrupting China-Japan-ROK economic and trade cooperation.</p>\n<p> Therefore, China, Japan and the ROK should accelerate the negotiations on and sign an FTA. Ten years ago, when we discussed the feasibility of a China-EU free trade area with European Union think tanks, the EU was open to the idea of building a China-EU "Silk Road of Tomorrow". Back then, I said if we failed to seize the opportunity to sign a China-EU free trade agreement as soon as possible, the "Silk Road of Tomorrow" might turn into "a withered flower of yesterday".</p>\n<p> Regrettably, that prediction has come true. This is even more true for Northeast Asia. The more tense and turbulent the regional situation becomes, the more necessary it is for China, Japan and the ROK to establish close and stable cooperative relations. To prevent today's China-Japan-ROK FTA from becoming "a withered flower of yesterday", the three sides need to overcome the common regional challenges, adapt to the general trend of the global economy, and make the strategic decision to sign a trilateral FTA.</p>\n<p> Given the global changes, the finalization of a trilateral FTA is not only a pragmatic choice to safeguard the three sides' development interests, but also a key move to maintain the security and stability of regional industry and supply chains, and the free trade order.</p>\n<p> Trade in services has become the top priority of economic and trade cooperation among China, Japan and the ROK. As major Asian economies, the three countries not only drive global economic growth but also have huge potential for cooperation in trade in services.</p>\n<p> Trilateral cooperation in trade in services will create the largest growth point for the three countries' trade partnership and serve as a stable fulcrum for the upgrading and institutional synergy of Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership rules on trade in services.</p>\n<p> The three countries have significant complementarities in such fields as cross-border data processing, digital healthcare, financial technology and intelligent manufacturing. They can leverage the existing cooperation mechanisms to explore the establishment of channels for facilitating cross-border data flows and mechanisms for mutual recognition of digital platform standards, as well as for setting up pilot cooperation projects in fields such as digital healthcare, smart cities, and digital culture and tourism.</p>\n<p> The key lies in the three countries reaching consensus as soon as possible on market access, rule alignment and standards in services trade.</p>\n<p> Trade in services has become a key priority as well as a difficult factor in the negotiations on a trilateral FTA. Despite that, the competitive nature of the manufacturing sectors of the three countries has intensified, while their complementarity in the field of trade in services has continued to increase. In June this year, while heading a fact-finding team to the ROK, I learned that the country's main request on China's opening-up lies in the services sector, including performing arts and medical aesthetics. Along with China's important measures for voluntary and unilateral opening-up, the complementarity potential in trade in services among the three countries will be transformed into a real growth momentum. But for that, the three sides need to resolve the differences over trade in services and reach a high-level trilateral FTA with trade in services as a priority.</p>\n<p> The signing of an FTA by China, Japan and the ROK as soon as possible will play a key role in building a large regional market and upgrading the RCEP. Regional economic integration with free trade as the main thread is becoming the primary facilitator of globalization. This feature wLine truncated

The products made locally have been exported to more than 190 countries and regions, according to the porcelain development center of Dehua.</p>\n<p> In the first seven months of this year, the export value of porcelain from Dehua totaled 2.14 billion yuan ($298 million), up 5.06 percent year-on-year, the center said.</p>\n<p> Quanzhou Shunmei Group Co, a major porcelain maker in Dehua, said that it has exported products to more than 100 countries, with exports accounting for 60 to 70 percent of its total business volume. Customers include Walmart, Universal Pictures and Starbucks.</p>\n<p> The tariff disputes between China and the United States have had a certain impact on its export business to the US, while demand from Europe, especially the United Kingdom and Germany, remains robust, the company said.</p>\n<p> "We have been cooperating with some major global corporations for a long time, and we make products for them on an order-based system. We have more than 100 designers at the company," said Zheng Pengfei, general manager of Shunmei Group.</p>\n<p> "The trade disputes are still having some impact on us. While stabilizing exports, we will continue to expand the domestic market," Zheng said.</p>\n<p> Looking back at history, Quanzhou was the starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road. In the Song and Yuan dynasties (960-1368), porcelain gradually became the main goods of export.</p>\n<p> Now in Dehua, more than 100,000 people are engaged in work related to porcelain and the number accounts for one-third of the county's total population. So far, the county has set up 54 porcelain promotion and exhibition centers in major cities of markets participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, according to the center.</p>\n<p> "Dehua has over 4,500 porcelain enterprises, and they have been involved in the production of three major types of products, which are artistic porcelain for export, daily-use porcelain like tableware and tea utensils, as well as porcelain carving works by masters," said Kou Wanqiong, deputy director of the center.</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, the county has continued to innovate the sector with advanced technologies. It has launched a research institute that focuses on the research of new materials for making porcelain and has also built the world's first 5G smart factory for producing daily-use porcelain.</p>\n<p> <span>Contact the writers at zhuwenqian@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

She was desperate for an escape.</p>\n<p> Then, on a whim in March 2023, she scraped together 220 yuan ($30.62) to watch a live show by Li Bo, a female comedian from Shenyang, Liaoning province, who has over 13 million followers on the short-video platform Douyin.</p>\n<p> That night, during the interactive segment, the performer spotted Fang in the audience.</p>\n<p> "What do you do for a living?" She asked Fang, handing the microphone to her, who was sitting in the second row with a mask and looked slightly uneasy.</p>\n<p> "I'm the director of the information center in our village," Fang replied.</p>\n<p> "What kind of information do you handle?" the comedian asked.</p>\n<p> "Oh, things like which family's daughter hasn't returned in two years, who owes money and won't pay it back, or which mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got into another fight. … That's pretty much the kind of news I keep track of," Fang deadpanned.</p>\n<p> The crowd erupted in laughter and applause.</p>\n<p> Fang's quick-witted, humorous improvised answer stole the show, and the clip later went viral, amassing millions of views online.</p>\n<p> Impressed, the comedian invited Fang to join a comedy training session, and even got Fang's travel, accommodation, and training expenses covered.</p>\n<p> That marked the beginning of Fang's journey into becoming a stand-up comedian.</p>\n<p> Stand-up comedy then became Fang's catharsis, not only allowing her to release years of pent-up frustration from her marriage and family life, but finally giving her the courage to walk away from her "toxic 30-year relationship" and start anew.</p>\n<p> In her debut on the aforementioned comedy competition, Fang delivered a hilarious yet touching set about how stand-up comedy empowered her to divorce her husband and build a new life with her two daughters.</p>\n<p> The performance quickly made her a viral sensation.</p>\n<p> Yang Tianzhen, a judge on the show, remarks that Fang embodies the resilient spirit of Chinese women, with strength forged through adversity.</p>\n<p> "She is a precious gem in the stand-up comedy industry," Yang adds.</p>\n<p> Tan Xiaohong, producer of the show, admits she initially had doubts when first encountering Fang's audition tape.</p>\n<p> "Her set was electrifying, a raw account of her life story," she recalls. "But I worried whether that magic could be replicated in the following competition rounds.</p>\n<p> "When we met in person, all my doubts vanished. Her raw authenticity and strong ability to consistently transform life experiences into comedy made casting her an undeniable choice," says Tan.</p>\n<p> Raised in a small village south of Linyi city, Shandong, Fang quit middle school when her family could no longer afford her education.</p>\n<p> "I'd read anything with words on it, even medication instructions. Back then, the only books I could get my hands on were classics. I particularly loved reading Dream of the Red Chamber," Fang recalls in a recent podcast program.</p>\n<p> After leavingLine truncated

He dissected the script, binge-read martial arts novels, and dived into the tension between honor, loyalty, and human nature.</p>\n<p> The Chinese title of The Wanted Detective is Ding Feng Bo, inspired by a poem written by Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) poet Su Shi during his exile in Huangzhou (now in Huanggang, Hubei province), then an impoverished region far from the dynasty's prosperous capital. Su was banished there after being falsely accused of treason by political rivals who envied his literary influence and outspoken nature.</p>\n<p> Referring to a well-known line in the poem — where Su humorously compares his bamboo cane and straw sandals (hinting at his humble circumstances) to feeling "lighter than riding a horse" — Wang draws a parallel to his protagonist's journey: a man learning to adapt to harsh circumstances with resilience and grace.</p>\n<p> "I read the script again and again — it's the story of a genius at the height of his glory, cast down into the depths, enduring hardship and pain to expose the real villain.
