She can still recall the sleepless nights leading up to the surgery, her fear of the scalpel, and a month of recovery at home, waiting for the swelling and bruising around her eyes to subside.</p>\n<p> Despite the ordeal, Irene has no regrets about her decision to go under the knife that summer. "The procedure has fundamentally changed my mindset. I've only grown more confident since then," she said.</p>\n<p> <b>Younger patients</b></p>\n<p> China's medical aesthetics market — which includes cosmetic surgery and less invasive beauty treatments — grew to nearly 300 billion yuan ($42 billion) last year, up from 65 billion yuan in 2015, according to market research data. It is expected to maintain an annual growth rate of around 10 percent over the next four years.</p>\n<p> While the core consumer group remains people aged 26 to 40, a growing number of teenagers and adults in their early 20s are also driving the market's expansion. Many are seeking to address long-standing insecurities about their appearance and boost their self-confidence.</p>\n<p> "The number of young patients who have just graduated from high school, or are in college, began rising about a decade ago, leading to a surge in consultations during summer vacations," said Guo Xin, a surgeon at the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the China Academy of Medical Sciences.</p>\n<p> "In recent years, we are seeing even younger patients, including those in junior or senior high school," he added. "On average, students account for about 20 percent of the consultations I handle, though the proportion may be higher for doctors who specialize in procedures like double eyelid surgery."</p>\n<p> Double eyelid surgery, which creates a crease to make the eyes appear larger and brighter, and procedures to remove hereditary bags under the eyes are among the most sought-after treatments for young patients. Other popular procedures include nose bridge augmentation with implants, as well as injectables to slim the face and narrow the jawline, Guo said.</p>\n<p> Plastic surgeons who work with younger patients emphasize the importance of conducting comprehensive assessments of their motivations and expectations. This includes screening for underlying mental health concerns and clearly communicating potential side effects and surgical risks.</p>\n<p> "There is no doubt that plastic surgery can enhance one's appearance, and being considered attractive can significantly influence a young person's life trajectory," he said.</p>\n<p> "However, it is crucial to conduct a thorough evaluation beforehand. Are the patient's natural features suitable for the procedure? Are they prepared to accept the outcome if the surgery is unsuccessful or yields unexpected results?" Guo said.</p>\n<p> <b>Desire for change</b></p>\n<p> Peer pressure and idealized body images on social media tend to create a desire for a better look in young minds.</p>\n<p> During high school, Irene was mocked by classmates for her droopy and mono-lid eyes. At the time, a "baby face" look characterized by big, round eyes and small chins was in vogue online.</p>\n<p> Her resolve to undergo double eyelid surgery was hardened after meeting many good-looking girls during the art college entrance exams in 2022. "I could not help but feel envious of their appearances," she said.</p>\n<p> "Undergoing eyelid surgery felt like a bold and unconventional move to me, and my parents were initially reluctant to see me go through what would inevitably be a painful process," she said. "But after I expressed my intentions repeatedly, they gradually understood my desire for change."</p>\n<p> Irene said that her parents accompanied her to consultations and covered the cost of the 9,000 yuan procedure. "They only had two conditions — that I must secure my college admission first, and that the surgery had to be performed at a major, reputable hospital," she said.</p>\n<p> Wang, a sophomore at the University of Science and Technology Beijing who preferred to give oLine truncated

For example, in 2024, the booming bamboo industry in Anji county, Zhejiang province, boosted incomes for nearly 40,000 local bamboo farmers.</p>\n<p> Also last year, the forestry and grassland industry's output value surpassed 10 trillion yuan ($1.4 trillion), creating jobs for over 60 million people. Meanwhile, the forest ranger workforce nationwide remained at over 1.7 million.</p>\n<p> Minister of Natural Resources Guan Zhiou said at the news conference that China is managing natural landscapes as a whole, including mountains, waters and forests.</p>\n<p> The nation has developed a large-scale protection system from the mountains to the seas, carrying out projects such as the rehabilitation of abandoned mines, the restoration of coastlines and coastal wetlands, and the expansion of mangrove areas.</p>\n<p> "China has become one of the few countries in the world to have a net increase in mangrove areas," Guan said.</p>\n<p> The country has also made strides in creating national parks.</p>\n<p> In 2021, China announced the official openings of its first five national parks: the Three-River-Source National Park, the Giant Panda National Park, the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park, the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park and Wuyishan National Park. Liu said these parks have since integrated over 120 nature reserves, which has helped improve the variety and health of ecosystems.</p>\n<p> He said that over the past five years, the Three-River-Source National Park has provided a 50 percent increase of water to downstream waterways.</p>\n<p> In the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park, the number of wild tigers increased from 27 in 2017 — the park's trial period — to about 70 in 2025, and the number of leopards grew from 42 to roughly 80 during the same period.</p>\n<p> And the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park has seen an increase in the number of Hainan gibbons, making it the only continuously growing population among the world's gibbons.</p>\n<p> The national parks initiative emphasizes environmental protection alongside livelihood improvement, Liu said.</p>\n<p> Nearly 50,000 people have found jobs related to the parks close to home, with each person earning an annual salary of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, he said.</p>\n<p> Since their official openings, the Wuyishan National Park's eco-friendly tea gardens have boosted the tea industry's value to 15 billion yuan, and the Giant Panda and Hainan Tropical Rainforest parks have served as nature education platforms, he said.</p>\n<p> <span>lihongyang@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p><br><hr><div>获取更多RSS：<br><a href=\"https://feedx.net\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.net</a> <br><a href=\"https://feedx.site\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.site</a><br></div>",

He said rich cultural resources and ideas have enriched the tourism industry, while tourism has increased the appeal and influence of Chinese culture. His remarks were included in a report submitted to the committee for review.</p>\n<p> Sun said the integration of culture and tourism has upgraded both sectors and turned them into new growth points for the economy.</p>\n<p> In 2023, the cultural industry's gross value added reached 5.95 trillion yuan ($835 billion), accounting for 4.59 percent of the country's GDP. The tourism industry contributed 5.48 trillion yuan, about 4.24 percent of the GDP.</p>\n<p> The integration of the two sectors has also enriched travel experiences and boosted consumption. Domestic tourism destinations received about 5.62 billion visits in 2023, generating 5.75 trillion yuan in spending, Sun said.</p>\n<p> Cultural products and souvenirs with traditional Chinese elements are among the bestsellers.</p>\n<p> Sun cited the National Museum of China's phoenix crown refrigerator magnet, a souvenir inspired by the phoenix crown from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). The museum launched the magnet in July 2024, and more than 2 million were sold within a year.</p>\n<p> Sun also highlighted the role of cultural and tourism integration in promoting international exchanges and boosting China's cultural influence abroad. The Chinese mainland received 132 million inbound tourism-related visits in 2024, generating $94.2 billion in spending.</p>\n<p> "'China travel' and 'China shopping' have become buzzwords worldwide, showing the nation's confidence in embracing the world," he said.</p>\n<p> However, Sun acknowledged that there were challenges in the sector.</p>\n<p> Some lower-level authorities lack effective mechanisms for integration, and the market still needs leading companies with strong competitiveness. Also, poor handling of cultural heritage protection and tourism development in some areas has led to over-commercialization or damage to ancient towns and streets, he said. And high-quality tourism products remain in short supply.</p>\n<p> He noted that China lacks sound legal support for cultural and tourism integration, and further regulation is needed as violations of travelers' rights persist. There is also a shortage of talent in the field, including high-quality tour guides and museum interpreters.</p>\n<p> "We need to develop more tour products with rich Chinese culture and strong international competitiveness to appeal to international travelers, and improve services in accommodation, transport, shopping and language guidance," Sun said.</p>\n<p> To address the challenges, he said the ministry will improve working mechanisms and incorporate culture and tourism integration into national socioeconomic development and land spatial planning.</p>\n<p> The ministry will also step up legislative efforts, fully implement the paid vacation mechanism, strengthen talent training and develop more tourism routes and destinations that showcase Chinese culture. Local governments will be encouraged to expand tour offerings and tap into cultural performances and popular television series to meet diverse travel demands.</p>\n<p> Sun said the ministry will tighten supervision of the cultural and tourism market, organize consumption promotion programs and deepen cultural and tourism exchanges with other countries and regions.

"description": "<div></div><p> Chinese scientists have developed a new method that enhances tumor immunotherapy, including the widely popular Bispecific T-cell engager, or BiTE therapy, by precisely labeling tumor cells and increasing their attraction signal to T cells, the body's "patrolling police".</p>\n<p> With this tool, the T cells can effectively target and destroy tumor cells. This approach can also stimulate a lasting systemic anti-tumor effect shown in their mouse tumor models, said the research team from the Center for Excellence in Molecular Cell Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences.</p>\n<p> The study has shown promising results in not only laboratory mice but also in vitro clinical human tumor samples, potentially paving the way for the development of smarter, more efficient, and lower-toxicity next-generation immunotherapies, the scientists said.</p>\n<p> A paper on the research, which applied proximity labeling — an existing research tool for observing "social networks" of molecules inside living cells — to immunomodulation for the first time, was published on the website of the journal Nature on Wednesday.</p>\n<p> T cells need strong "signals", determined by the density of antigen on the surface of cancer cells, for activation and attack. However, many tumor-associated antigens are not expressed at a high enough density on the cancer cell surface, which eventually leads to suboptimal treatment outcomes, said Han Shuo, the leading scientist on the team and the corresponding author of the paper.</p>\n<p> To address this problem, the research team reinvented the technique of proximity labeling, aiming to amplify targeting signals on the tumor cell surface, thereby marking the cells that need to be attacked by the immune system.</p>\n<p> They devised an engineered nanozyme, PCN, which can be activated by red light or ultrasound. The nanozyme is first delivered to the surface of tumor cells, after which external red light or ultrasound provides precise local activation at the tumor site. The nanozyme activated by red light or ultrasound rapidly catalyzes the attachment of a large number of probe molecules with an artificial antigen to cell-surface proteins within a few nanometers.</p>\n<p> "Such a process is like 'planting' a high-density cluster of artificial antigens on the surface of the target tumor cells," Han said.</p>\n<p> "These in-situ constructed, high-density antigen clusters become a super beacon for immune cells. Using a specific molecule that can simultaneously bind to both the artificial antigens and T cells, these clusters can efficiently recruit and gather T cell receptors. This powerfully activates the T cells, significantly enhancing their ability to recognize and kill tumor cells," he said.</p>\n<p> This approach not only eliminates the treated tumors, but also triggers a systemic immune response, the researchers said. The highly efficient tumor-killing process releases a large number of tumor antigens, which in turn stimulate the body's immune system to attack distant, untreated tumors and establish long-term immunological memory, preventing tumor recurrence.</p>\n<p> "In lab tests on mice, we observed such long-term immunological memory for more than 60 days," Han said.</p>\n<p> Li Shuojun, the first author of the paper and a postdoctoral researcher from Han's team, said that the technology was applied in laboratory petri dishes containing human tumor samples from eight patients treated at the Zhongshan Hospital in Shanghai, with seven of them showing significant effects. The eight samples were from patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, gastric cancer or colorectal cancer.</p>\n<p> A key advantage of the approach is that it ensures high treatment specificity through precise physical control by red light or ultrasound, thus protecting healthy tissues, Han added.</p>\n<p> <span>zhouwenting@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

This series will take an in-depth look at this transformative force, examining how AI is redefining the way we live, work and interact. Today we're presenting the first piece of the series, focusing on AI "therapists".</p>\n<p> It's nearly midnight when Pluto gets home from work. The project she's been working on for weeks has just been rejected. Exhausted, emotionally drained and with no one to talk to, she opens an artificial intelligence chatbot — not to ask for help, but simply to let some weight off her chest.</p>\n<p> A 26-year-old graphic designer living alone in Shanghai, Pluto, a pseudonym, is among a growing number of people who've turned to AI to provide psychological guidance, comfort and companionship, a controversial practice providing benefits and dangers in almost equal measure.</p>\n<p> While many, like Pluto, sing the praises of AI for providing them with a sympathetic ear, others have fallen foul of the technology's unpredictability.</p>\n<p> "I didn't expect anything at first," said Pluto. "I just typed out everything I was feeling. I thought of it like writing a private diary entry."</p>\n<p> The designer has grown used to holding things in. Her parents don't understand the stress she's under, and her friends are just as overworked as she is.</p>\n<p> "Everyone's going through something. I don't want to burden them with my mess," she said.</p>\n<p> But that night, something unexpected happens. After she hits "send", the chatbot replies with a long message: first empathizing with her frustration, then offering a calm, logical breakdown of her situation — and even some suggestions for what she can do next.</p>\n<p> "It said something like, 'You've already done well to get this far'," she recalled. "That really hit me. No one has ever said that to me before — not like that."</p>\n<p> She and the AI keep talking until five in the morning.</p>\n<p> <b>Caution urged</b></p>\n<p> Despite the genuine comfort that Pluto has received from AI, a report released by Stanford University in July highlights the dangers of using AI in mental healthcare.</p>\n<p> The study revealed that AI therapy chatbots may not only lack effectiveness compared to human therapists but could also contribute to harmful stigma and dangerous responses.</p>\n<p> In Pluto's case, AI wasn't the last resort. It simply worked for her. She's been diagnosed with bipolar II disorder and generalized anxiety, and has been taking medication ever since. She saw therapists — but not often. Most of the time, she goes to the hospital just to get a prescription. Therapy takes time, and she doesn't have much.</p>\n<p> Her experience with AI speaks as much for the technology as it does for the wider issue of access to therapeutic services for those in need of them.</p>\n<p> Instead, she turns to the chatbot whenever she needs to. She talks to it on the subway after work, during short breaks at the office, or while lying on the couch over the weekend. No need to get dressed or explain herself from the beginning. She simply picks up the conversation where she left off.</p>\n<p> Lin Min, a senior counselor and associate professor at the Mental Health Education and Consultation Center at Chongqing Medical University, compares the way people have become so attached to AI to the growing popularity of pets. Both offer companionship without complexity. "People turn to them because real relationships feel too risky, too messy," she said. "Pets are simple, predictable and easy to love. So is AI."</p>\n<p> But to her, AI's empathy can only go so far. "It can sound caring, but it's shallow," she said. Many people don't know the real root of their distress, and if they can't ask the right questions, AI won't give the right answers. "That's where human therapists matter — we're trained to notice what isn't being said."</p>\n<p> More of her clients are bringing up AI in sessions. Most tried it, but left disappointed. One client told her the bot repeatedly failed to register what he'd said. "He keeps explaining, again and again, and it still doesn't 'remember'," she said. The experience echoes his real-life trauma — feeling ignored, unimportant. "He doesn't expect a machine to hurt him the sLine truncated

"description": "<div></div><p> NANNING — This summer, Bangkok's vibrant flavors, tropical fruits and rhythmic dances are sweeping across Chinese cities, as Thailand tries to secure travel bookings through immersive showcases from durian festivals to Muay Thai performances.</p>\n<p> At a sprawling "Thai Market" in Nanning, capital of South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, visitors wandered among stalls brimming with Thai delicacies, tropical fruits and handcrafted treasures, while chefs cooked regional specialties live. The excitement reached its peak when a lucky attendee won round-trip tickets from Nanning to Bangkok during the Thai SELECT food fair.</p>\n<p> "Guangxi's geographical and cultural proximity to ASEAN(countries) makes it a natural hub," Benjamas Tanvetyanont, Thai consul-general in Nanning, said. Thai-style buildings and eateries already dot Nanning's streets, reflecting the locals' warm embrace of Thai culture.</p>\n<p> The current summer blitz, the consul-general noted, aims to deepen cultural appreciation and practical cooperation. Thailand is set to present an even more vibrant showcase at this month's China-ASEAN Expo, featuring expanded product displays and immersive cultural exhibits.</p>\n<p> Behind all these efforts is a carefully crafted national strategy. Thailand's Ministry of Commerce rolled out an upgraded "Thai SELECT" logo in May to boost its culinary brand globally. In Nanning, Thai SELECT fairs now set dining trends, said Niti Pratoomvongsa, director of the commercial office of the Royal Thai Consulate General in Nanning. These efforts forge lasting connections through authentic flavors rather than one-off promotions.</p>\n<p> As Southeast Asia's tourism race intensifies, Thailand's focus on experiential cultural immersion offers an edge, said Jiang Chenxian, a researcher at the Guangxi Minzu University. "Building familiarity through culture and daily consumption helps stabilize appeal amid market shifts," Jiang added.</p>\n<p> Travel agencies note a shift toward more thoughtful travel, with Chinese tourists increasingly prioritizing safety, convenience and immersive experiences over merely ticking off iconic landmarks.</p>\n<p> Beyond simply chasing tourist numbers, Thailand is strategically fostering long-term cultural affinity, Jiang said, noting that sustained appeal depends on safety, well-developed infrastructure, and rich, layered experiences — elements Thailand is steadily weaving into its national tourism strategy. "Its deep fusion of cultural outreach with tourism may help it stay competitive amid regional fragmentation," she added.</p>\n<p></p>",

"title": "008COMMENT - Establishment of Huangyan Island nature reserve safeguards its marine environment",

"description": "<div></div><p> China's decision to establish a national nature reserve at Huangyan Island in the South China Sea represents a responsible step toward protecting one of the region's most delicate marine ecosystems near a busy waterway.</p>\n<p> Approved by the State Council on Tuesday, the move sends a clear signal: ecological conservation cannot and will not be sacrificed to maritime disputes.</p>\n<p> The move means there will be a more robust and effective system to protect the ecology of the area.</p>\n<p> According to the Cabinet release published on Wednesday, the establishment of the Huangyan Island nature reserve is a crucial guarantee for maintaining the diversity, stability and sustainability of the natural ecosystem of the island and its surrounding waters.</p>\n<p> Official reports have shown that the waters surrounding the island are currently of good environmental quality, and the coral reef ecosystem remains generally healthy.</p>\n<p> Yet, this fragile balance is increasingly under threat.</p>\n<p> In recent years, the Philippines has engaged in repeated provocations, sending government vessels to the waters near Huangyan Island, while turning a blind eye to rampant illegal fishing by its nationals. These reckless activities not only violate China's sovereignty, but also risk causing irreversible damage to the island's coral reefs, fish stocks and overall ecological environment.</p>\n<p> Given the serious ecological and environmental degradation the Philippines has already caused around China's Ren'ai Reef, which is about 540 kilometers to the west of Huangyan Island, it might be only a matter of time before similar damage occurs in the waters around Huangyan Island if Manila's actions continue unchecked.</p>\n<p> Beijing bears both the right and the duty to ensure that the island's marine environment remains healthy and resilient.</p>\n<p> It has thus taken the prudent step of designating Huangyan Island and its surrounding waters as a nature reserve. This designation, which follows its initial ecological environment survey of the waters, will bring the entire area under strict regulations and supervision, with relevant departments tasked with rigorously implementing the rules governing reserves.</p>\n<p> As the State Council instructed, these authorities must strengthen their organization and coordination, improve management institutions, and intensify supervision and law enforcement against all violations of the reserve's regulations.</p>\n<p> According to a statement released by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration later the same day, Huangyan Island national nature reserve is located in Sansha, Hainan province.

"content": "<div></div><p> China's decision to establish a national nature reserve at Huangyan Island in the South China Sea represents a responsible step toward protecting one of the region's most delicate marine ecosystems near a busy waterway.</p>\n<p> Approved by the State Council on Tuesday, the move sends a clear signal: ecological conservation cannot and will not be sacrificed to maritime disputes.</p>\n<p> The move means there will be a more robust and effective system to protect the ecology of the area.</p>\n<p> According to the Cabinet release published on Wednesday, the establishment of the Huangyan Island nature reserve is a crucial guarantee for maintaining the diversity, stability and sustainability of the natural ecosystem of the island and its surrounding waters.</p>\n<p> Official reports have shown that the waters surrounding the island are currently of good environmental quality, and the coral reef ecosystem remains generally healthy.</p>\n<p> Yet, this fragile balance is increasingly under threat.</p>\n<p> In recent years, the Philippines has engaged in repeated provocations, sending government vessels to the waters near Huangyan Island, while turning a blind eye to rampant illegal fishing by its nationals. These reckless activities not only violate China's sovereignty, but also risk causing irreversible damage to the island's coral reefs, fish stocks and overall ecological environment.</p>\n<p> Given the serious ecological and environmental degradation the Philippines has already caused around China's Ren'ai Reef, which is about 540 kilometers to the west of Huangyan Island, it might be only a matter of time before similar damage occurs in the waters around Huangyan Island if Manila's actions continue unchecked.</p>\n<p> Beijing bears both the right and the duty to ensure that the island's marine environment remains healthy and resilient.</p>\n<p> It has thus taken the prudent step of designating Huangyan Island and its surrounding waters as a nature reserve. This designation, which follows its initial ecological environment survey of the waters, will bring the entire area under strict regulations and supervision, with relevant departments tasked with rigorously implementing the rules governing reserves.</p>\n<p> As the State Council instructed, these authorities must strengthen their organization and coordination, improve management institutions, and intensify supervision and law enforcement against all violations of the reserve's regulations.</p>\n<p> According to a statement released by the National Forestry and Grassland Administration later the same day, Huangyan Island national nature reserve is located in Sansha, Hainan province. It covers an area of 3,523.67 hectares, of which the core area is 1,242.55 hectares and the experimental area is 2,281.12 hectares. The main protected object is the coral reef ecosystem.</p>\n<p> Huangyan Island is inherent Chinese territory that brooks no challenge. China's establishment of the national nature reserve is reasonable, legal, and in accordance with relevant international practices.</p>\n<p> The establishment of the reserve represents a long-term investment in ecological sustainability.</p>\n<p> The significance of this move extends beyond China and the Philippines. The establishment of the nature reserve underscores Beijing's broader commitment to environmental stewardship in the South China Sea.</p>\n<p> By prioritizing ecological protection, China is shouldering its responsibility to ensure that marine biodiversity and resources are preserved for future generations.</p>\n<p> Protecting the natural environment is a global responsibility, and China's latest initiative demonstrates its seriousness in fulfilling that duty.</p>\n<p> By aligning environmental protection with responsible governance of its administered waters, China is helping to secure ecological stability in one of the world's busiest maritime areas, benefiting not only itself but also the broader region.</p>\n<p></p>",

"description": "<div></div><p> Editor's note: The Chinese government recently issued a set of guidelines to unleash the consumption potential of the sports economy. The guidelines outline 20 measures across six fields, including increasing the supply of sports products and events, boosting sports consumption, supporting sports businesses and cultivating new growth drivers in relevant industries. Yi Jiandong, a professor and expert in Olympic Studies at Wenzhou University, analyzed the guidelines on China Central Television's News 1+1 program. Below are excerpts from the interview. The views don't necessarily represent those of China Daily.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p> There are two aspects of the guidelines that are particularly impressive. The first is enhancing the level of professional sports events. Nowadays, many amateur sports events in China attract a large number of spectators. The venues are often completely sold out and sponsors are eager to participate. However, some of these professional events are unable to achieve their full potential. In this context, professional events should leverage this policy momentum to improve their operational capabilities.</p>\n<p> The second is strengthening the overall coordination of international events applied for and organized by different regions. China has hosted many international sports events in recent years, but there seems to be a lack of cohesive planning, particularly in resource allocation, including human resources and intellectual assets. This leads to some wastage during the preparation process. Although organizing sports events is not an easy task, with better intellectual assets, external talent support and more streamlined mechanisms, these events could run more smoothly and achieve better outcomes.</p>\n<p> The new guidelines have introduced several changes relating to sports event safety, covering core aspects such as venue capacity, security configuration and ticketing management. Safety and security are at the core of any event. China has been making continuous improvements in this area for more than 10 years. However, the security standards are not tailored to different sports and events. It is essential to take into account the nature of the events, local conditions and international best practices to ensure that the security measures are neither excessive nor insufficient. Striking the right balance is an art that event organizers should master.</p>\n<p> The guidelines explicitly emphasize increasing the supply of sports venues through various means, including new construction, renovation, upgrades and extended opening hours. A key point is to bring the sports facilities closer to the people. Many individuals, including some youths, are reluctant to engage in sports activities simply because it is more convenient to stay indoors and play video games. Sports venues are often inconveniently located too far away, difficult to access or hard to book. Therefore, breaking down the "last mile" barrier to sports venues is crucial.</p>\n<p> In line with China's goal of becoming a modern socialist country by 2035, the sports industry is expected to become a pillar of the national economy, with its annual added value projected to be about 4 percent of the country's GDP. The sports industry should be positioned as a strategic emerging industry within the national economy. While its primary objective may be to contribute a larger share to the GDP, it can also help cultivate better national fitness and help drive, boost and stimulate other related industries, thus making an indirect yet substantial impact on the national economy.</p>\n<p> For example, some industries such as animal husbandry and environmental protection have seen a significant multiplier effect due to the development of the sports industry in other countries. Thus, the value of the sports industry should not be measured solely by its contribution to the GDP, but also by its role in stimulating and elevating other sectors.</p>\n<p></p>",

The port of Fuzhou (then called Foochow in English) was the center of the global trade in tea. It emerged as a key supplier of high-quality varieties like oolong and lapsang souchong.</p>\n<p> In the mid-1800s, different types of tea were transported to Britain on clipper ships, so named because they were designed for speed. The tea merchants competed with each other to see who could get their products the fastest to the British breakfast table.</p>\n<p> The story of the legendary Cutty Sark highlights those times in history. Built in Scotland in 1869, the ship set a record-breaking journey from Fuzhou to the English Channel in just 72 days, despite fierce monsoons and pirate threats.</p>\n<p> Today the Cutty Sark is a museum piece and sits as a popular visitor attraction in the Royal Museums Greenwich, London. It serves as a reminder of this shared heritage, highlighting how Fujian's tea helped shape the modern British identity.</p>\n<p> In a year when trade instability and geopolitical drama have grabbed headlines, it is important to be reminded of the benefits of global commerce. Tea grown in China and drunk in Britain since the 17th century led to prosperity for planters in China, innovation in ship design, and a change in the beverage culture of the British people which lasts to this day.</p>\n<p> The successful exchange of goods and ideas has always required a platform for dialogue and meetings. The China International Fair for Investment and Trade, held each year in Xiamen, Fujian, provides this platform and the opportunity to convert the legacy of the tea trade into the benefits of modern economic activity for all trading nations.</p>\n<p> This year, the UK is participating as the "guest country of honor" at the 25th CIFIT from Monday to Thursday. The CIFIT has welcomed delegations from more than 110 countries and regions to China's flagship international trade and investment event. The China-Britain Business Council is proud to be supporting this year's event under the theme, "Join Hands with China, Invest in the Future".</p>\n<p> Today, the growth industries in trade and services of the UK and China are especially aligned. They represent clear opportunities for two-way investment. Clean energy, life sciences, luxury branded goods, fintech, consulting, financial and other services and some technologies are apt examples.</p>\n<p> Part of the UK Pavilion at CIFIT is dedicated to explaining the "UK's Modern Industrial Strategy" — the British government's new national growth strategy published in June — and how international investment partners can get involved.</p>\n<p> The investment fair this year revolves around three core pillars: invest in China, Chinese investment, and international investment. The UK and China already have a strong relationship in these three fields. The UK was the third-largest source of investment in China from Europe and the second-largest direct investment destination for China in Europe.</p>\n<p> Also, the UK's leading financial and professional services companies have supported many of their Chinese counterparts in their mission of "going global". And the CBBC is excited at the thought of attracting more Chinese investment into the UK as Chinese companies expand operations abroad. That's why the CBBC has proudly organized a "UK Investment Conference" at the CIFIT, in order to explore how to increase Chinese investment in the UK.</p>\n<p> Chinese companies already provide about 60,000 jobs in the UK, and we hope to see this increase. The CBBC is excited at the prospect of more UK investment in China, particularly in those areas of expertise in which the UK has leading brands and high technical capability. In this spirit and alongside our UK Investment Conference, we are also hosting the "Invest in China Conference".</p>\n<p> British companies have created a large number of jobs in the UK as a direct result of their businesses in China. This year may see China transition from, primarily, a manufacturing powerhouse of affordable goods to a leading global producer of high-end, technologically advanced finished products. The so-called "DeepSeek moment" has also awoken many non-China observers to the new reality that China offers a differentiated business opportunity.</p>\n<p> The UK, with its forward-looking industrial strategy, has much to add to this economic development in China as many British companies look to deepLine truncated

Xi noted that transformation unseen in a century is accelerating across the world, and hegemonism, unilateralism, and protectionism are getting more and more rampant.</p>\n<p> BRICS countries, standing at the forefront of the Global South, should act on the BRICS Spirit of openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation, jointly defend multilateralism and the multilateral trading system, advance greater BRICS cooperation, and build a community with a shared future for humanity, he said.</p>\n<p> Zulkafil Hassan Khan, executive director of the Center for Knowledge and Public Policy, a Pakistani think tank, said that President Xi rightly emphasized greater solidarity, multilateralism, openness, and win-win cooperation at the time of global uncertainty, highlighting China's role as a defender of international justice and a true partner for the Global South.</p>\n<p> The speech was timely and holistic, conveying a message of hope, harmony, economic globalization and international cooperation, he said.</p>\n<p> Cavince Adhere, a Nairobi-based international relations scholar, said that this summit comes at a significant time for humanity. "It is a time when some leading economies that have benefited from the current world order have turned their back on globalization."</p>\n<p> What China is trying to stress is that BRICS is encouraging countries to prioritize multilateralism. It's important that the BRICS countries demonstrate that it is possible to champion new forms of international cooperation and economic globalization, Adhere added.</p>\n<p> In his statement, Xi said BRICS countries must stay committed to building an open global economy, so as to share opportunities and achieve win-win outcomes in openness, adding that the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization at its core should be upheld and all forms of protectionism should be opposed.</p>\n<p> John Queripel, an Australian social commentator and historian based in Newcastle, said that at a time when protectionist forces are calling for a retreat into national silos, building up walls against the world, President Xi has made a salient call upon the nations of the world to maintain an open economic order.</p>\n<p> "Global prosperity and well-being depend on nations trading openly for mutual benefits.

Countries cannot thrive without an international environment of cooperation, and no country can afford to retreat to self-imposed isolation.</p>\n<p> Denis Simon, a nonresident fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft in Washington, DC, said Xi's speech casts China as a defender of globalization. China's focus on win-win cooperation stands in stark contrast to Western moves toward what they call "de-risking" and "selective decoupling", said the US scholar.</p>\n<p> In his speech, Xi called for upholding solidarity and cooperation to foster synergy for common development. BRICS countries account for nearly half of the world's population, around 30 percent of global economic output.</p>\n<p> Xi added that China is ready to work with fellow BRICS countries to implement the Global Development Initiative, advance high-quality Belt and Road Initiative cooperation, leverage respective strengths, deepen practical cooperation, and make their business, financial, scientific and technological cooperation more productive.</p>\n<p> Simon noted that Xi's speech serves as a road map for a stronger BRICS and a fairer global order, positioning China as a reliable anchor for emerging economies as they navigate global challenges.</p>\n<p> <span>Contact the writers at yifanxu@chinadailyusa.com</span></p>\n<p></p>",

Police said they had stopped a large group of about 1,000 protesters from entering the Gare du Nord train station in the city.</p>\n<p> In the southeastern city of Lyon, protesters blocked a highway running through the city and set bins on fire.</p>\n<p> The government's interior ministry announced 250 arrests in the first hours of what was a planned day of nationwide demonstrations against Macron, budget cuts and other complaints.</p>\n<p> <b>Budget push</b></p>\n<p> It remains unclear what compromises Lecornu has in mind to push the budget through.</p>\n<p> Lecornu, 39, was the youngest defense minister in French history and architect of a major military buildup through 2030, spurred by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. A longtime Macron loyalist, Lecornu is now France's fourth prime minister in barely a year.</p>\n<p> A former conservative who joined Macron's centrist movement in 2017, Lecornu has held posts in local governments, overseas territories and during Macron's yellow vest "great debate", when he helped manage mass anger with dialogue.</p>\n<p> The $435 billion defense spending package Lecornu championed for 2024-30 represents the most significant spending hike in France in half a century. The money was aimed at modernizing France's nuclear arsenal, augmenting intelligence spending and developing more remote-controlled weapons.</p>\n<p> The demise of Bayrou's short-lived minority government heralds renewed uncertainty and a risk of prolonged legislative deadlock for France as it wrestles with pressing challenges, including budget difficulties and, internationally, conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza and the shifting priorities of US President Donald Trump.</p>\n<p></p>",

"description": "<div></div><p> <b>CHINA</b></p>\n<p> <b>FM to visit Austria, Slovenia, Poland</b></p>\n<p> Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit Austria, Slovenia and Poland from Friday to Tuesday, the Foreign Ministry has announced. The trip to Austria will make possible the first face-to-face engagement between the two countries' foreign ministers after the current Austrian administration took office, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Wednesday. Beijing stands ready to step up bilateral political mutual trust and pragmatic cooperation during Wang's visit to Slovenia, Lin said, adding China-Poland ties have maintained a steady growth since the two countries established diplomatic ties 76 years ago.</p>\n<p> <b>UNITED STATES</b></p>\n<p> <b>Top court to decide legality of tariffs</b></p>\n<p> The United States Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments in November on the legality of President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, after his administration asked for an expedited ruling on the issue. The justices took up the Justice Department's appeal of a lower court's ruling that Trump overstepped his authority in imposing most of his tariffs under a federal law meant for emergencies. The court swiftly acted after the administration last week asked it to review the case, which implicates trillions of dollars in customs duties over the next decade. The court, which begins its next nine-month term on Oct 6, placed the case on a fast track, scheduling oral arguments for the first week of November.</p>\n<p> <b>POLAND</b></p>\n<p> <b>Operation conducted to protect airspace</b></p>\n<p> The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces said on Wednesday the air defense operation conducted overnight to protect Polish airspace had concluded. It said ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems have returned to normal operation. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Wednesday morning that drones "posing a threat" had been shot down over Poland, claiming they were "Russian".There were no reports of casualties, he said. "We are most likely facing a large-scale provocation, as this is the first time Russian drones have been shot down over the territory of a NATO country." Reuters on Tuesday quoted a NATO source as saying the alliance is not treating the drone incursion into Polish territory as a Russian attack. The Kremlin on Wednesday declined to comment on the incident, saying this was a matter for the Defense Ministry.</p>\n<p></p>",

Based on the reports that Iran will provide later, the type of access should be negotiated in due course," he added.</p>\n<p> Iran suspended its cooperation with the IAEA after the Israeli-US strikes on its nuclear facilities and the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists in June.</p>\n<p> After the suspension, Iran said any inspections by the IAEA must be approved by Iran's Supreme National Security Council, and that the suspension will continue until guarantees are provided for the safety of its nuclear sites and scientists.</p>\n<p> Before the latest round of talks in Cairo, Iran and the IAEA held talks in Vienna on Friday and Saturday.</p>\n<p> The agreement comes against the backdrop of an ongoing threat by European powers to reimpose wide-ranging sanctions against Iran that were lifted under a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and major powers.</p>\n<p> Those European powers, France, Britain and Germany, known as the E3, have initiated the so-called "snapback" process that is due to run until late this month. They have said they will only hold off on completing it if Iran allows inspections to resume, accounts for its highly enriched uranium stockpile and holds nuclear talks with the United States.</p>\n<p> Tuesday's framework deal is aimed at moving toward addressing those first two conditions, but it is unclear whether enough can or will be achieved by this month's deadline to satisfy the Europeans and fend off snapback for the time being.</p>\n<p> "Let me emphasize: in the event of any hostile action against Iran — including the reinstatement of canceled UN Security Council resolutions — Iran will consider these practical steps null and void," Araghchi said in a statement, referring to sanctions resolutions.</p>\n<p></p>",

And the construction of a unified national market has advanced, curbing disorderly competition and promoting orderly capacity adjustments in key industries, which in turn has stabilized prices," Dong said.</p>\n<p> NBS data showed year-on-year price drops in coal processing, ferrous metal smelting and rolling, coal mining and washing, and photovoltaic equipment and component manufacturing narrowed by 10.3 percentage points, 6 percentage points, 3.2 percentage points and 2.8 percentage points in August, respectively, compared with July.</p>\n<p> Wen Bin, chief economist at China Minsheng Bank, attributed the PPI improvement to the government's effective measures to rein in unbridled competition, helping to optimize market order and stabilize prices across industries.</p>\n<p> "We expect prices to pick up moderately from low levels as stimulus policies to expand domestic demand continue to take effect, supported by improvements in market order under the push to curb heavy competition," Wen said.</p>\n<p> Citing the NBS data, Wen added that China's overall prices extended the recovery trend in August, reflecting the gradual impact of policies aimed at boosting domestic demand, curbing disorderly competition and fostering new growth drivers.</p>\n<p> According to the NBS, the country's consumer price index, the main gauge of inflation, fell by 0.4 percent year-on-year in August, while consumer prices were unchanged in July.

This millisecond-level ultra-low latency will provide a strong boost to industries such as international trade, finance, technological innovation, e-commerce and cross-border data flow, enhancing Hainan's competitiveness in the global digital economy," he said.</p>\n<p> Moving forward, China Unicom's Hainan provincial branch will accelerate the subsequent phases of the submarine cable landing station, along with the construction of the China Unicom Haikou International Information Port and the Haikou international communication services entrance bureau. These initiatives will leverage China Unicom's international cable network to elevate the province's strategic position in global communications infrastructure, Gan said.</p>\n<p> The executive highlighted that by aligning with local industrial policies and promoting technological integration, China Unicom is contributing its expertise and resources to help develop new quality productive forces in Hainan Free Trade Port.</p>\n<p> The Haikou International Information Port project is currently in full swing and is scheduled for completion on Sept 30. As a key initiative under China Unicom's strategy to support Hainan's digital transformation, the port will incorporate an international communications services entrance bureau, a next-generation intelligent computing data center, and international submarine and terrestrial cable connectivity into a single, green, high-tier computing campus.</p>\n<p> It will provide enterprises with a secure and scalable international data and computing platform, supporting network-computing integration in sectors such as finance, healthcare, education, aerospace, seed industry and deep-sea exploration, while fostering the growth of emerging industries, the company added.</p>\n<p> The move is part of broader efforts by Hainan to fully develop its digital infrastructure to better support the development of emerging industries.</p>\n<p> Huang Yejing, deputy head of the Hainan provincial department of industry and information technology, said the province is making progress in digital infrastructure.</p>\n<p> In 2024, China's telecom operators received approval to establish full-service international communication entrance bureaus in Haikou — the first such expansion in China in 30 years. Additionally, two new submarine cables linking Hong Kong and Southeast Asia are under construction, further enhancing Hainan's international communications capabilities, Huang said.</p>\n<p> He said Hainan Free Trade Port has pioneered innovations in secure and orderly cross-border data flow. The overseas initiative to expand e-gaming development continues apace, forming industrial clusters.</p>\n<p> These developments reflect Hainan's commitment to embracing global interconnection and openness in the digital economy era, promoting high-quality development through high-standard openness and establishing itself as an international communications hub.</p>\n<p> In February, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology granted the first batch of value-added telecom business pilot approvals to 13 foreign-funded enterprises in Hainan and three other regions, two of which are based in Hainan. This marks a critical step in Hainan Free Trade Port's efforts to expand digital sector openness and explore new pathways for institutional innovation.</p>\n<p> <span>Contact the writers at masLine truncated

"title": "014BUSINESS - Shanghai intl reinsurance exchange on fast growth track",
|

"description": "<div></div><p> In its first eight months of official operations, the Shanghai International Reinsurance Exchange traded nearly 4.4 billion yuan ($617.87 million) of insurance premiums, according to an official with the exchange.</p>\n<p> The value of outward insurance, under which the insurer transfers the insurance to another insurance company, approached 94.6 billion yuan, while the value of inward reinsurance, meaning the insurance company accepts insurance business ceded by another insurer, totaled 9.5 billion yuan, said Chang Ming, the exchange's assistant to the general manager.</p>\n<p> Officially unveiled in the Lin-gang Special Area of the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone in October, the exchange has seen 118 institutions registered with trading rights, among which 90 are domestic and the rest from overseas. The exchange has helped to attract 26 domestic and international reinsurance institutions to settle down in Lin-gang, including operation centers of 21 reinsurance companies, one branch of a reinsurance company, and branches of four insurance brokerages.</p>\n<p> Chang said that such rapid development in less than a year can be largely attributed to the institutional innovation first attempted there, the trading seats introduced at the exchange being one of them.</p>\n<p> Overseas institutions are allowed to provide offshore reinsurance services to Chinese clients even if they have not acquired official operational approval from the Chinese central regulators. Under such circumstances, the overseas reinsurance companies cannot set up fixed operation venues in China, Chang said.</p>\n<p> The trading seats at the exchange can help those institutions reach their Chinese clients more conveniently, while significantly reducing the costs of conducting China-related businesses, he said.</p>\n<p> As of late, six overseas institutions from the United Kingdom, Barbados and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, among others, have obtained trading seats at the exchange.</p>\n<p> The exchange has also jointly explored an overseas fleet insurance service mechanism with Commercial Aircraft Corp of China, PICC and Air Union Insurance Brokers, which is aimed at facilitating the export of domestically produced commercial aircraft while securing Chinese companies' interests in overseas markets, Chang said.</p>\n<p> Feng Xiao, deputy general manager of the reinsurance department of PICC, said that Chinese companies' demand for insuring their overseas businesses has been rising amid China's stable economic growth and the deepening of the Belt and Road Initiative.</p>\n<p> Therefore, domestic insurers need to directly enter the international market and undertake the inward reinsurance business of Chinese companies in overseas markets as well as other international inward reinsurance. This is crucial for China to participate in the global risk governance, he said.</p>\n<p> As Chang further explained, trading data at the exchange are transparent, true, traceable and controllable. Based on these merits, the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, has provided facilitation for cross-border capital registered at the exchange and used for reinsurance trading via free trade accounts.</p>\n<p> The PBOC is now studying the introduction of a new measure to facilitate overseas investment using overseas inward reinsurance income, he said.</p>\n<p> France's AXA Global Reinsurance officially opened its reinsurance operation center in Lin-gang in January.</p>\n<p> According to Xue Fei, general manager of AXA International Reinsurance (Shanghai) Co Ltd, the collective financial infrastructure and policies introduced at the exchange — as well as the gathering of registration, clearance and information disclosure functions there — can largely improve trading efficiency and lower costs. This is conducive to improving companies' operational efficiency and competitiveness, he said.</p>\n<p> The fact that more and more industry players are gathering in Lin-gang helps AXA to talk to its peers more conveniently over the most up-to-date trends regarding health insurance, travel insurance and even businesses related to new energy vehicles, he said.</p>\n<p> The Lin-gang administrative committee released the negative lists and practice guidance for the cross-border data flow in the reinsurance industry in February and May, respectively.</p>\n<p> <span>shijing@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

With gentle prose and a cross-cultural lens, Xu celebrates the warmth of family life and the beauty of culinary exchange.</p>\n<p> Through dozens of traditional Greek recipes, she guides readers to experience the unique, unpretentious Greek culinary culture while conveying a positive and open-minded outlook on life.</p>\n<p> "Greek cuisine begins with nature; what is shared and passed between people is not just Greek snacks, but also information and warmth; what is passed down through generations is not only dishes and recipes, but also culture and history," says Xu.</p>\n<p> In her stories, cooking is never only about taste. Xu recalls preparing a Greek New Year cake and Chinese dumplings with her children, the latter involving a hidden coin to bring luck. These rituals, she suggests, show how Chinese and Greek cultures converge not in grand gestures but in the small, enduring details of daily life.</p>\n<p> Vangelis Giannakaros, founder of the Greek-themed restaurant Argo and a longtime friend of Xu, says that the book reminded him of the customs and traditions from his childhood, despite being away from his homeland for many years.</p>\n<p> He says he admires how the author embraced Greek culture: from learning cooking techniques from her mother-in-law, to gradually mastering and innovating some Greek dishes, and now presenting them in her book with both text and illustrations.</p>\n<p> This journey is filled with her love for Greek cuisine and traditional culture, reminding him of a unique Greek word: meraki (to do something with soul, creativity, and love), he says.</p>\n<p> In his speech, Kalpyris, who has been married to the author for over 20 years, says: "This book carries the memories of my family, and many of the recipes in it are treasures passed down through generations.</p>\n<p> "It opens a delightful and interesting path for the meeting of two civilizations (China and Greece)."</p>\n<p> Chen Yue, an associate professor at the School of History at Anhui Normal University, described the book as a "cookbook filled with love".</p>\n<p> Drawing on her own research into Mediterranean culinary culture and pointing to the eighth chapter of the book, Greek Festivals and Cuisine, Chen shared with the audience and food enthusiasts the historical origins of some Greek dishes.</p>\n<p> For example, the "Cretan Farmer's Fish Soup" can be traced back to a 12th-century Greek poem. She also says that she even followed "Xu's recipe" for "fried cod cakes".</p>\n<p> Yang Guangjie, general manager of China Translation and Publishing House, says: "In the context of globalization and modernization, food not only holds historical memories but also continually revitalizes cultural vitality through inheritance and innovation.</p>\n<p> "This transition from family to the world resonates with the Chinese cultural concept of 'beauty in harmony and unity for all', allowing us to see the resonance and mutual learning of different civilizations in the realm of cuisine."</p>\n<p></p>",

This Saturday, as the World Athletics Championships get underway in Tokyo, he will no longer stand alone at the starting line.</p>\n<p> Alongside him will be 21-year-old Deng Xinrui — a rising sprinter a decade his junior, and China's first "post-2000" athlete to qualify for the 100m at the worlds.</p>\n<p> Deng's journey has been swift and striking: from a sensational debut two years ago and some inevitable peaks and troughs, to a resurgent run last month, when he clocked 10.06 seconds to claim the national title and become the fourth-fastest Chinese man in the 100m discipline.</p>\n<p> Now, he steps onto the global stage not just to compete, but to embody the promise of a new generation of Chinese sprinters.</p>\n<p> "The high-intensity rhythm of the world championships may actually help me find my stride," Deng told The Paper. He admitted that, over the past two years, learning to slow down has made him faster.</p>\n<p> "I want to perfect every detail, and see if there's a chance to make improvements and breakthroughs at the worlds."</p>\n<p> In third grade, Deng joined his school's track and field team on a whim. Born prematurely and often frail as a child, he was encouraged by his parents to exercise for health reasons — but his aptitude for sprinting emerged quickly. By fourth grade, he had already won his first district championship.</p>\n<p> Unlike many professional athletes, Deng chose a path that balanced study and training. From primary school through high school, he trained at school. By the end of 2021, he clocked 10.87s in the 100m; in September 2022, he entered Jinan University's School of Physical Education as a freshman.</p>\n<p> Before the 2023 season, few had heard of him. But that year, at the National Athletics Championships in Quzhou, Zhejiang province, he stunned the field by winning gold with a time of 10.23. In just seven months, in his first season as a professional, he had lowered his personal best from 10.63 to 10.21.</p>\n<p> "When I first entered university, my goal was just to see if I could run 10.50 by the time I graduated," Deng recalled. "I studied physical education and thought I might become a PE teacher or a coach after graduation. Hitting the national athlete standard would make my resume look good. I never imagined I'd make this kind of breakthrough."</p>\n<p> Deng's rapid rise owed much to his winter training before that season. In 2022, when he entered Jinan University, China's sprinting star Mo Youxue — a 4x100m relay silver medalist at the 2015 World Athletics Championships — also started at the university as a lecturer. That entire winter, for more than three months, Mo trained alongside Deng as an assistant coach and training partner.</p>\n<p> "Deng's greatest natural gift is his incredibly fast step frequency," Mo explained. "His style was a lot like Su Bingtian's in his early days: explosive at the start, but the speed dropped significantly later on. That rhythm wasn't sustainable."</p>\n<p> Under Mo's guidance, Deng began focusing on race rhythm and core strength, while correcting flaws in his running form.</p>\n<p> Once those technical bottlenecks were cleared, progress came quickly — from breaking 10.50 to pushing past 10.30.</p>\n<p> Back in high school, Deng changed his WeChat name to "1050" — a constant reminder of his first goal: to break 10.50. In 2023, after achieving it, he set a new target — renaming himself "1025", then "1010".</p>\n<p> However, he kept "1010" for over two years — until last month, when he ran 10.06. The very next day, he changed it again: "1005".</p>\n<p> The past two years have been a grind through setbacks and low points: taking a break from school to train strained his relationship with his family to a breaking point; repeated failures forced him to learn how to live with defeat. To move forward, he had to tear down old habits and rebuild his technique from the ground up.</p>\n<p> And finally, he cleared the hurdle.</p>\n<p> "That step was too big," Deng said of his decision two years ago to change his name from"102Line truncated

"description": "<div></div><p> President Xi Jinping expressed on Tuesday China's readiness to enhance strategic communication and maintain close exchanges and cooperation with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, as he extended congratulations to Kim Jong-un, the top leader of the DPRK, on the neighboring country's 77th founding anniversary.</p>\n<p> In a congratulatory message to Kim, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that Beijing will join hands with Pyongyang to promote China-DPRK friendship and the socialist cause of the two countries, in order to make greater contributions to peace and development in the region and the world at large.</p>\n<p> The message came just days after Kim visited Beijing in early September to attend commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War.</p>\n<p> The trip marked Kim's first visit to China in six years. During the DPRK leader's stay in Beijing, Xi and Kim pledged their commitment to China-DPRK friendship and willingness to promote practical cooperation.</p>\n<p> Noting that China and the DPRK are traditional friendly neighbors linked by mountains and rivers, Xi reaffirmed in Tuesday's message that it has always been the steadfast strategic guideline for the CPC and the Chinese government to maintain, consolidate and develop well the China-DPRK ties.</p>\n<p> He said that when he met with Kim in Beijing, the two sides jointly planned a blueprint for the development of relations between the two parties and the two countries.</p>\n<p> Xi spoke highly of the continuous development that the DPRK has made in all of its socialist undertakings since its founding, saying that the WPK has united and led the people in the DPRK to forge ahead unremittingly over the past 77 years.</p>\n<p> In recent years, under the leadership of the WPK headed by Kim, the people in the DPRK have striven hard to fulfill the goals and tasks set out at the Eighth Congress of the WPK, and have achieved many gratifying accomplishments, Xi said.</p>\n<p> Xi expressed his belief that the people in the DPRK will greet the Ninth Congress of the WPK with high spirits and outstanding achievements, and open a new chapter in the cause of building DPRK-style socialism.</p>\n<p> The Eighth Congress of the WPK was held in Pyongyang in 2021. In June, the WPK unanimously approved at a plenary meeting the decision on convening its Ninth Congress.</p>\n<p> <span>mojingxi@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

"description": "<div></div><p> As China strives to build itself into a sporting powerhouse by 2035, the country's sports governing body, supported by relevant ministries, vows to promote greater public participation and consumption in sporting events of all kinds to contribute to the goal.</p>\n<p> A strong competitor at the elite level — as highlighted by the nation's medal-laden Olympic campaigns in recent years — China has set its sights on further boosting public involvement in fitness activities and amateur competitions, as well as encouraging consumption at sports-related businesses, according to officials at a State Council Information Office briefing on Tuesday.</p>\n<p> The country aims to cultivate a group of sports enterprises with global influence and propel the total scale of a full-fledged sports industry to 7 trillion yuan ($983 billion) by 2030, according to a new set of development guidelines issued last week by the State Council, China's Cabinet.</p>\n<p> The guidelines, including 20 measures across six fields, stress that diversifying and expanding the number of sporting events at both the amateur and elite level is key to fueling consumption and generating greater market value in the sector.</p>\n<p> "People's demand for living a healthy lifestyle and getting more involved in sports events — either by competing directly at the amateur level or by enjoying themselves while watching high-level events and visiting venues — has been booming," Li Jing, a vice-minister of the General Administration of Sport of China, said at the briefing. "It's up to us now to diversify and increase the offerings from the supply side to meet the demand, so that the development of the sports industry picks up more momentum."</p>\n<p> The country has scheduled over 600 international sporting events and about 190 national championship matches at all levels this year, according to Li.</p>\n<p> Tourism, accommodation, sales of merchandise tied to sports teams and clubs, and youth training are among areas where consumption potential could be further tapped with the hosting of more sports events, said Yang Xuedong, director of the GASC's sports economy department.</p>\n<p> Specific proposals in the guidelines also include the development of up to 100 outdoor sports bases by 2030 to introduce activities such as hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing to national parks, tourism destinations and rural scenic spots to draw more visitors and generate greater revenues.</p>\n<p> The National Development and Reform Commission, China's economic planning body, and the Ministry of Commerce will team up with local governments and sports authorities to help facilitate the outdoor sports project by offering support via public funding, a preferential tax policy and infrastructure upgrades.</p>\n<p> "The outdoor sector has emerged as the fastest-growing contributor to the overall sports industry in recent years, with its market value estimated to reach 3 trillion yuan by the end of this year. We expected it to only grow quicker during the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period," said Chen Jun, head of the social development department of the NDRC.</p>\n<p> Other measures to stimulate sports consumption also include boosting the snow-and-ice economy around operations of mountain resorts, offering more sports-plus-tourism packages during sporting events and upgrading the manufacturing sector of sporting goods.</p>\n<p> As an example of the increasing influence of sports entertainment, the expansion of the women's professional tennis circuit has opened up more business opportunities during what was known as the annual "China Swing" on the pro tennis calendar.</p>\n<p> With the addition of five new entry-level tournaments on the WTA 125 Circuit in China — the first of which began last week in Changsha, Hunan province — the nation is hosting 11 Women's Tennis Association Tour events in the next two months.</p>\n<p> The tournaments in China are expected to attract a total of 1 million spectators, generating a collective revenue of over 2 billion yuan, according to Bai Xilin, director of the tennis administration center under the GASC.</p>\n<p> <span>sunxiaochen@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

"It's up to us now to diversify and increase the offerings from the supply side to meet the demand, so that the development of the sports industry picks up more momentum."</p>\n<p> The country has scheduled over 600 international sporting events and about 190 national championship matches at all levels this year, according to Li.</p>\n<p> Tourism, accommodation, sales of merchandise tied to sports teams and clubs, and youth training are among areas where consumption potential could be further tapped with the hosting of more sports events, said Yang Xuedong, director of the GASC's sports economy department.</p>\n<p> Specific proposals in the guidelines also include the development of up to 100 outdoor sports bases by 2030 to introduce activities such as hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing to national parks, tourism destinations and rural scenic spots to draw more visitors and generate greater revenues.</p>\n<p> The National Development and Reform Commission, China's economic planning body, and the Ministry of Commerce will team up with local governments and sports authorities to help facilitate the outdoor sports project by offering support via public funding, a preferential tax policy and infrastructure upgrades.</p>\n<p> "The outdoor sector has emerged as the fastest-growing contributor to the overall sports industry in recent years, with its market value estimated to reach 3 trillion yuan by the end of this year. We expected it to only grow quicker during the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period," said Chen Jun, head of the social development department of the NDRC.</p>\n<p> Other measures to stimulate sports consumption also include boosting the snow-and-ice economy around operations of mountain resorts, offering more sports-plus-tourism packages during sporting events and upgrading the manufacturing sector of sporting goods.</p>\n<p> As an example of the increasing influence of sports entertainment, the expansion of the women's professional tennis circuit has opened up more business opportunities during what was known as the annual "China Swing" on the pro tennis calendar.</p>\n<p> With the addition of five new entry-level tournaments on the WTA 125 Circuit in China — the first of which began last week in Changsha, Hunan province — the nation is hosting 11 Women's Tennis Association Tour events in the next two months.</p>\n<p> The tournaments in China are expected to attract a total of 1 million spectators, generating a collective revenue of over 2 billion yuan, according to Bai Xilin, director of the tennis administration center under the GASC.</p>\n<p> <span>sunxiaochen@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

The bridge will significantly boost the coordinated development and integration of the Yangtze River Delta region.</p>\n<p> After six years of construction, the Changtai Yangtze River Bridge, which has set several world records, officially opened on Tuesday in Jiangsu province.</p>\n<p> Spanning 10.03 kilometers, the bridge is the first crossing over the Yangtze River to integrate expressways, intercity railways and regular highways. It connects Changzhou and Taizhou, cutting travel time between the two cities from 1 hour and 20 minutes to about 20 minutes.</p>\n<p> The bridge has set various world records. It is the longest-span cable-stayed bridge, the longest-span combined road-rail steel truss arch bridge and has the longest continuous length of steel truss girders. In addition, several world-first technologies were used during construction.</p>\n<p> The bridge features a main span of 1,208 meters and two side spans of 388 meters. Its towers stand 350 meters tall — equivalent to a 120-story building.</p>\n<p> "This is truly a world-class project," said Li Zhen, onsite commander of the construction command for the Jiangsu provincial transportation engineering construction bureau.</p>\n<p> Li said the main span was designed to minimize impact on the Yangtze River's ecological environment and navigation routes.</p>\n<p> According to him, the bridge's completion depended on four pioneering designs: a step-type caisson foundation to reduce scouring and self-weight; a steel-concrete hybrid structure with a spatial diamond-shaped tower; a steel-box-core concrete composite cable tower anchorage structure; and a temperature-adaptive longitudinal restraint system for the towerbeam.</p>\n<p> For the first time, carbon fiber tendons — which are less affected by temperature changes — were used to create lightweight, high-strength, ultra-long composite material cables, marking a breakthrough in the application of new materials in bridge engineering.</p>\n<p> The bridge supports a load capacity of 530,000 metric tons, with two main towers and stay cables providing structural support.</p>\n<p> Li likened the towers to human legs, with their stability and strength depending on the underwater caisson.</p>\n<p> Initial design calculations indicated the caisson needed to sink more than 65 meters deep to stabilize. But deeper foundations increase construction risks. Technology developed during construction reduced the caisson's height while ensuring stability.</p>\n<p> "Even after these adjustments, the caisson remains a massive structure, equivalent to a 24-story building with the length of 13 basketball courts," Li said.</p>\n<p> Positioning the caisson was highly challenging, he added.</p>\n<p> "During operations, the team employed the latest intelligent robots for the first time. These robots could navigate complex underwater terrains and clean sand from the caisson's corners," he said, noting tasks once reliant on divers can now be completed remotely.</p>\n<p> China Railway Baoji Bridge Group, the construction company, also developed several pioneering technologies.</p>\n<p> "By introducing large-scale automated production equipment clusters, 3D laser scanning inspection systems, intelligent manufacturing processes and micro-innovations, we successfully overcame the high-standard quality control challenges of large bridges," said Ma Zenggang, project manager at the group.</p>\n<p> The bridge passed its load test — considered its final exam — with 110 heavy trucks totaling 4,400 tons, demonstrating its structural integrity.</p>\n<p> Jiangsu has now completed 20 river-crossing passages and has nine more under construction, effectively connecting counties and cities across the Yangtze.</p>\n<p> <span>cangwei@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

The liftoff marked the rocket model's seventh sea-based launch, China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, maker of the Smart Dragon 3 series, said in a news statement released afterwards.</p>\n<p> The Smart Dragon 3 is a solid-propellant rocket. The 31-meter-tall spacecraft has a diameter of 2.65 meters and a liftoff weight of 140 metric tons. It is mainly propelled by a high-performance solid-propellant engine holding 71 tons of propellant that creates a thrust of 200 tons.</p>\n<p> The rocket has the capacity to send multiple satellites with a combined weight of 1.5 tons to a typical sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 500 km.</p>\n<p> To date, China has performed 18 sea-based launches using four types of rockets: the Long March 11, the Smart Dragon 3, the Ceres 1 and the Gravity 1.</p>\n<p> Developed by Geespace, a private satellite maker in Zhejiang province, the satellites will work with 41 previously deployed Geely satellites to perform a host of tasks that include: collecting data for marine businesses, traffic and transport management, and power generation; conducting tests pertaining to the internet of things and inter-satellite communications; and monitoring environmental pollution, according to Geespace.</p>\n<p> A little over six hours later, a Long March 7A rocket blasted off at 10 am from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan province and transported the Yaogan 45 remote-sensing satellite into its preset orbit.</p>\n<p> Built by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology — a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp — the satellite is tasked with facilitating scientific experiments, surveying land resources, monitoring agricultural yields, and supporting disaster prevention and mitigation.</p>\n<p> Remote-sensing satellites are usually used to detect and monitor the physical characteristics of objects on land or at sea by measuring reflected and emitted radiation. Data obtained by the Yaogan family, the major series of remote-sensing spacecraft in China, has been widely used by governments, public service sectors and businesses.</p>\n<p> The Long March 7A is also a product of the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology. It has a liftoff weight of 573 tons and a core-stage diameter of 3.35 meters. It can place a 7-ton spacecraft into geosynchronous transfer orbit.</p>\n<p> The latest launch marked the 594th mission of the Long March family and China's 55th rocket launch in 2025.</p>\n<p> <span>zhaolei@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p><br><hr><div>获取更多RSS：<br><a href=\"https://feedx.net\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.net</a> <br><a href=\"https://feedx.site\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.site</a><br></div>",

"description": "<div></div><p> A new tourism university has opened in Hainan province in partnership with Switzerland's top hospitality school, marking a milestone in the island's push to become a global trade and tourism hub.</p>\n<p> Hainan Lausanne Tourism University was inaugurated on Tuesday in Sanya. It was established with Switzerland's Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne, a top-ranked hospitality institution. The university is designed to support Hainan's development as a flagship of China's economic openness ahead of island-wide special customs operations set to launch for the free trade port on Dec 18.</p>\n<p> Feng Fei, secretary of the Communist Party of China Hainan Provincial Committee, called the opening "a new symbol and a positive start" for broader Sino-Swiss cooperation.</p>\n<p> He said he hoped the partnership with EHL and China Communications Construction Company would make a model for Sino-European collaboration and a landmark in building an international tourism consumption center.</p>\n<p> Feng said Hainan would provide support in faculty recruitment, student internships, employment and international exchange to create optimal conditions for the school's development.</p>\n<p> Markus Venzin, CEO of EHL Group, said the Swiss institution would work to integrate its global academic system and teaching standards with the needs of Hainan's tourism industry. The goal, he said, is to cultivate top-tier talent with global competitiveness in hospitality and tourism, using the new university as a strategic base.</p>\n<p> The launch comes as China and Switzerland mark the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two nations. The university is the first collaborative institution in partnership with a Swiss university in China.</p>\n<p> Martin Matter, head of the economic and financial section of the embassy of Switzerland in China, said the project reflects a key Swiss specialty: vocational and professional education.</p>\n<p> "Switzerland's economic success is built on the strength of our vocational and professional education and training system, which combines classroom learning with real professional experience," he said.</p>\n<p> Built on EHL's academic system, which has ranked first globally in hospitality for seven consecutive years, HLTU offers four degree programs: hospitality management; MICE — meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions — economy and management; tourism management and service education; and culinary and nutrition education. Students will have access to EHL's global network and priority internship opportunities at leading international enterprises, according to EHL Group.</p>\n<p> Sylvie Miao, a freshman studying hospitality management and a member of the inaugural class of about 60 students, said she was drawn to the university by its partnership with the Swiss institution.</p>\n<p> "I understand how special this opportunity is," Miao said. "HLTU's 'theory plus practice' teaching system and the educational philosophy of 'Swiss standard, Chinese practice, global perspectives' have completely inspired me."</p>\n<p> She said the university's all-English teaching model is a key advantage in preparing students for Sanya's growing international tourism market.</p>\n<p> Edmund Ko, general manager of the Sanya Marriott Yalong Bay Resort and Spa and chairman of the Marriott Business Council, told students they represent the industry's future.</p>\n<p> "I see future general managers, visionary entrepreneurs, master sommeliers, talented chefs and sustainability leaders," he said. "You are the next generation of hospitality pioneers."</p>\n<p> <span>chenbowen@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

Now 62, the veteran farmer from Attock district of Pakistan's eastern Punjab province has spent five decades battling pests, erratic weather and fluctuating market prices.</p>\n<p> In recent years, Safdar said, sudden climatic changes had made farming more difficult, until he decided to experiment with Chinese vegetable seed varieties, which he had heard were more resilient, higher-yielding and better suited to withstand extreme weather conditions.</p>\n<p> "Over the past five decades, I have seen farming change with the seasons, but in recent years, sudden climatic shifts have made weather patterns unpredictable, and local varieties no longer produce the same yield. Chinese seeds, however, are real fighters, they know how to survive against all odds and protect the farmer's livelihood," Safdar told Xinhua as he walked through rows of green fields, inspecting the thick, healthy saplings of his cauliflower crop.</p>\n<p> He noted that Chinese varieties also fetch a higher price in the market. While local cauliflower sells for around 100 Pakistani rupees ($0.36) per kilogram, the Chinese variety commands about 150 Pakistani rupees because of its larger size, pure white florets and superior taste — qualities that customers are happy to pay extra for.</p>\n<p> For Safdar, the impact is tangible. "Chinese vegetables pay for our food, medicine, clothes and other expenses. They take care of all our financial needs, giving us a sense of financial independence and enabling us to live a more comfortable and prosperous life," he said.</p>\n<p> During his field visit, Safdar was accompanied by Sajjad Ahmad, managing director of Al Manahil Seeds, a distributor of vegetable seeds in Pakistan, and Muhammad Abrar, a research and development officer in the agricultural sector. Both have long worked to introduce Chinese varieties to Pakistani farmers.</p>\n<p> Ahmad has collaborated with Chinese agricultural institutions for a decade, including a three-year stint with the Tianjin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, to bring high-quality seeds to Pakistan. In recent years, Tianjin's cauliflower seed exports to Pakistan have accounted for over 70 percent of Pakistan's annual planting, helping to address bottlenecks in the local cauliflower industry.</p>\n<p> "Chinese seed varieties are excellent, and farmers are extremely satisfied with the yield," Ahmad said. "Even poor farmers with small farming lands can almost double their harvest on the same land compared to local varieties, giving them both more produce to sell and a better price in the market."</p>\n<p> The progress Safdar and his fellow farmers have made in Pakistan has its roots in Tianjin, a northern Chinese port city that has emerged as a hub of agricultural innovation.</p>\n<p> According to Sun Deling, chief scientist of China's national cauliflower breeding and a researcher at the Vegetable Research Institute of Tianjin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, his team began exploring international markets after meeting domestic demand. Since 2010, they have traveled repeatedly to Pakistan, India, Vietnam and other countries, tailoring new varieties to local climatic conditions.</p>\n<p> "Up to now, we have established demonstration bases in more than 10 countries, including Pakistan, Vietnam and France, testing over 800 varieties," Sun said. "Because of their superior quality and reasonable price, our seeds are well-received by farmers and distributors in the countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative."</p>\n<p> By the first half of 2025, annual cauliflower seed exports, which were cultivated by Sun's team, had reached 11 metric tons, marking a shift from past reliance on imports to becoming a major exporter. Cauliflower has since grown into one of China's largest vegetable seed export crops, boosting the global competitiveness of Chinese seed companies.</p>\n<p> In Pakistan, the results have been transformative. Chinese seeds now cover large areas of farmland, improving yields and raising incomes. Farmers like Safdar not only produce more, but also gain resilience against unpredictable weather patterns that once threatened their livelihoods.</p>\n<p> Back in Tianjin, officials also emphasize the broader vision behind these successes. Guan Anrong, deputy director of the foreign cooperation department at the Tianjin Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Commission, noted that Tianjin's cauliflower varieties have been promoted on about 67,000 hectares across SLine truncated

While local cauliflower sells for around 100 Pakistani rupees ($0.36) per kilogram, the Chinese variety commands about 150 Pakistani rupees because of its larger size, pure white florets and superior taste — qualities that customers are happy to pay extra for.</p>\n<p> For Safdar, the impact is tangible. "Chinese vegetables pay for our food, medicine, clothes and other expenses. They take care of all our financial needs, giving us a sense of financial independence and enabling us to live a more comfortable and prosperous life," he said.</p>\n<p> During his field visit, Safdar was accompanied by Sajjad Ahmad, managing director of Al Manahil Seeds, a distributor of vegetable seeds in Pakistan, and Muhammad Abrar, a research and development officer in the agricultural sector. Both have long worked to introduce Chinese varieties to Pakistani farmers.</p>\n<p> Ahmad has collaborated with Chinese agricultural institutions for a decade, including a three-year stint with the Tianjin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, to bring high-quality seeds to Pakistan. In recent years, Tianjin's cauliflower seed exports to Pakistan have accounted for over 70 percent of Pakistan's annual planting, helping to address bottlenecks in the local cauliflower industry.</p>\n<p> "Chinese seed varieties are excellent, and farmers are extremely satisfied with the yield," Ahmad said. "Even poor farmers with small farming lands can almost double their harvest on the same land compared to local varieties, giving them both more produce to sell and a better price in the market."</p>\n<p> The progress Safdar and his fellow farmers have made in Pakistan has its roots in Tianjin, a northern Chinese port city that has emerged as a hub of agricultural innovation.</p>\n<p> According to Sun Deling, chief scientist of China's national cauliflower breeding and a researcher at the Vegetable Research Institute of Tianjin Academy of Agricultural Sciences, his team began exploring international markets after meeting domestic demand. Since 2010, they have traveled repeatedly to Pakistan, India, Vietnam and other countries, tailoring new varieties to local climatic conditions.</p>\n<p> "Up to now, we have established demonstration bases in more than 10 countries, including Pakistan, Vietnam and France, testing over 800 varieties," Sun said. "Because of their superior quality and reasonable price, our seeds are well-received by farmers and distributors in the countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative."</p>\n<p> By the first half of 2025, annual cauliflower seed exports, which were cultivated by Sun's team, had reached 11 metric tons, marking a shift from past reliance on imports to becoming a major exporter. Cauliflower has since grown into one of China's largest vegetable seed export crops, boosting the global competitiveness of Chinese seed companies.</p>\n<p> In Pakistan, the results have been transformative. Chinese seeds now cover large areas of farmland, improving yields and raising incomes. Farmers like Safdar not only produce more, but also gain resilience against unpredictable weather patterns that once threatened their livelihoods.</p>\n<p> Back in Tianjin, officials also emphasize the broader vision behind these successes. Guan Anrong, deputy director of the foreign cooperation department at the Tianjin Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Commission, noted that Tianjin's cauliflower varieties have been promoted on about 67,000 hectares across ShangLine truncated

"description": "<div></div><p> Portuguese Prime Minister Luis Montenegro's three-day visit to China, culminating in his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Tuesday, has been conducive to injecting fresh vitality into the long-standing partnership between China and Portugal.</p>\n<p> The two countries have achieved fruitful outcomes in cooperation across various fields in recent years, setting a model of mutual respect and mutual benefit for nations with different social systems and national conditions.</p>\n<p> This enduring spirit of cooperation is particularly significant this year, which marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Portugal comprehensive strategic partnership. Over the past two decades, both sides have remained committed to dialogue, mutual trust and practical collaboration. In the process, they have shown the world that relations between countries need not be constrained by differences in history, culture or governance systems, but can instead be strengthened by a shared commitment to openness, inclusiveness and development. For Portugal, the steady pursuit of friendship with China has brought tangible benefits to its economy and its people.</p>\n<p> Looking ahead, as President Xi said, China is willing to strengthen strategic communication with Portugal, keep bilateral relations on the right track, and make greater contributions to the prosperity and progress of both countries and the world through unity and cooperation.</p>\n<p> To that end, as Xi said, the two sides should strengthen their traditional friendship and trust, and continue to support each other and expand practical cooperation in areas such as innovation, green development, ocean industries and medicine. They should also leverage Macao's unique role as a bridge and make full use of mechanisms such as the Forum for Economic and Trade Co-operation between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries to achieve higher levels of mutual benefit. Expanding exchanges in culture, education, tourism and scientific research will further cement the foundation of people-to-people friendship.</p>\n<p> Montenegro warmly echoed Xi's call, affirming that Portugal is committed to deepening friendly cooperation with China. He expressed the hope that his visit will help enhance political mutual trust, strengthen economic and trade ties, boost two-way investment and expand cooperation in energy, finance, health, water conservancy and other areas. His words reaffirm Portugal's recognition that Sino-Portuguese relations not only have a long history but also are future-oriented.</p>\n<p> Particularly notable was Montenegro's acknowledgment that Macao's successful practices over the past 25 years fully demonstrate the foresight of Portugal's decision at the time. He further pledged that Portugal will continue to adhere to the one-China principle and will never forget China's valuable support during Portugal's difficult economic period.</p>\n<p> Today, as the international situation grows more turbulent and uncertain, the lessons of China-Portugal relations take on renewed significance. As Xi stressed, the more turbulent and intertwined the international landscape becomes, the greater the need for China and Europe to strengthen communication, enhance mutual trust and deepen cooperation. These words not only resonate with the spirit of bilateral cooperation between China and Portugal, but also serve as a meaningful reminder to Europe as a whole.</p>\n<p> Montenegro also acknowledged the importance of the Global Governance Initiative proposed by Xi, saying that Portugal is willing to uphold multilateralism and embrace China as an irreplaceable partner for Europe in improving global governance. This highlights Portugal's consistent role as a long-standing supporter of multilateralism and its ability to demonstrate foresight in navigating international challenges. By working with Beijing to uphold the positioning of the China-EU partnership, Lisbon can help promote a healthy development of Sino-EU ties.</p>\n<p> This constructive path stands in contrast to the counterproductive tendencies within certain quarters of Europe that view international relations through the narrow lens of confrontation and bloc politics. For Europe, Portugal's example offers an important lesson: constructive engagement with China brings benefits that extend well beyond bilateral ties, pointing the way forward for the stable development of China-EU relations and, indeed, for international cooperation at large.</p>\n<p> As both countries usher their comprehensive strategic partnership into its third decade, it is hoped that the China-Portugal relationship will continue to thrive as a positive force for China-EU cooperation and for world development.</p>\n<p></p><br><hr><div>获取更多RSS：<br><a href=\"https://feedx.net\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.Line truncated
