"description": "<div></div><p> As China's watermelon season draws to a close this year, farmers, consumers and professional testers are of the view that during this scorching summer, selection of the juicy fruit was determined less by weight and volume, and more by taste and quality.</p>\n<p> At a cooperative in Panggezhuang in Beijing's Daxing district, 27-year-old Zhang Linghui spent her days tapping, pressing and listening to thousands of melons at the peak of the harvest.</p>\n<p> Zhang is one of a growing number of professional "watermelon testers" — specialists hired to judge the fruit's ripeness, sugar levels and texture. With a quick knock, she can tell whether a watermelon is unripe, overripe or just right — and only the best make it to market.</p>\n<p> "Each watermelon has a different sound," Zhang said. "Unripe ones are hard, and the bounce hurts your fingers. Overripe melons sound dull and often crack inside. The best are nearly 80 percent ripe," she said.</p>\n<p> A skilled watermelon tester must not only have extensive knowledge of cultivation, including the fruit's growth cycle and varietal traits, but also draw on years of experience to accurately judge its quality, she added.</p>\n<p> Shang Ling, a 42-year-old Beijing resident, said picking a watermelon felt like opening a blind box. Although she would also tap the fruit to judge its quality before buying it at the supermarket, the result disappointed as often as it delighted.</p>\n<p> "But now, with professionals testing them, one is more likely to find a good one," she said.</p>\n<p> The emergence of the new trend indicates how consumer expectations are changing in one of the world's biggest watermelon markets. Once considered the luck of the draw, buying a watermelon is increasingly about quantifiable measures such as sweetness, texture and juiciness.</p>\n<p> China plants more than 1.33 million hectares of watermelon each year and harvests around 60 million metric tons, about 60 percent of the world's total, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. On average, each Chinese consumer eats about 50 kilograms of the fruit annually.</p>\n<p> This summer, consumers favored thin-skinned, juicy and naturally ripened melons, according to a July report from the consumption and industry development research institute of JD, a Chinese e-commerce giant. Shoppers in their late 20s to mid-40s drove nearly 70 percent of sales, with younger buyers showing a strong appetite for new varieties, it said.</p>\n<p> Beijing's Daxing district, Zhongwei city in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Dongtai city in Jiangsu province and Shanghai are among the top sources of sales growth, according to the report.</p>\n<p> Panggezhuang is the home of the famed Daxing watermelon, a certified geographical indication product known for its crisp sweetness. At the 2,667-hectare planting base, growers are shifting to smaller melons weighing 1 to 1.5 kg. The planting area for traditional large watermelons has already fallen to less than 66.7 hectares.</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, farmers are also planting colorful new varieties with orange and yellow flesh or black rind to meet diverse market demands.</p>\n<p> Song Shaotang, a local grower, is experimenting with new varieties to keep up with changing tastes. One standout is the Jingmei 3K, bred by the Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences. The variety has oval-shaped fruit, deep red flesh and high sugar content, making it a hit with both farmers and consumers.</p>\n<p> "At our demonstration field, Jingmei 3K yields stayed at about 60 (metric) tons per hectare.

Qin and Wang discuss how to improve their model in the university.</p>\n<p> To mitigate climate change, afforestation worldwide has the potential to sequester up to 5 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, according to scientific research led by a team from the Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, Guangdong province.</p>\n<p> Qin Zhangcai, a professor from the School of Atmospheric Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, and his team published their findings, titled "Land Availability and Policy Commitments Limit Global Climate Mitigation from Forestation", in the international academic journal Science on Aug 29. The research quantified for the first time the carbon sequestration capacity of underground soil in the global forest restoration process.</p>\n<p> To "cool down" the planet, the world is in urgent need of reducing carbon dioxide emissions and enhancing the carbon sequestration capacity of ecosystems. As natural "carbon absorbers", forests serve as indispensable "green air conditioners" for climate regulation, and afforestation is widely regarded as one of the most cost-effective nature-based climate solutions.</p>\n<p> The research innovatively integrates three key factors — ecology, climate and policy — to redefine the potential of afforestation to mitigate climate change and provide "navigation" for future global afforestation.</p>\n<p> After years of collecting scarce global soil data, Qin's team has successfully developed a machine learning model capable of quantifying soil carbon changes resulting from afforestation. Leveraging international cooperation and integrating existing vegetation carbon estimates, the team has also created an "all-round detector" that can monitor carbon changes in both vegetation and soil.</p>\n<p> The team also took into account international environmental and socio-economic constraints related to afforestation, such as biodiversity, water resources, surface warming and national commitments. From the two dimensions of sustainable land "supply" and national policy "demand", the team has redeveloped a "navigation map" for future forest restoration.</p>\n<p> "However, when land sustainability and countries' willingness are taken into comprehensive consideration, the actual emission reduction potential of afforestation worldwide can decrease to 1.5 billion metric tons per year," warned Qin, adding that climate risks can stem from "empty talk", or "theoretical plans that lack implementation".</p>\n<p> According to Qin, there are huge discrepancies regarding how much carbon dioxide future afforestation can absorb, with the low estimate being less than 300 million tons and the high estimate exceeding three billion tons per year.</p>\n<p> Qin said the controversy mainly centers on two key challenges.</p>\n<p> While the carbon sequestration capacity of vegetation is relatively clear, changes in soil carbon remain difficult to detect accurately, he said.</p>\n<p> "Meanwhile, estimates on land area suitable for afforestation worldwide also differ by 10 times," he said, adding that more importantly, the significant gap between countries' afforestation commitments and their willingness to implement them has long been overlooked.</p>\n<p> Qin said there is a huge mismatch between countries' afforestation commitments and land potential. "Countries with land potential have made relatively few commitments, while those that have made more commitments — especially low-income countries — lack sufficient land and other resources to support their afforestation aspirations, he said.</p>\n<p> Qin said his team has proposed an Olympics-style goal for global afforestation in the future that is "faster, higher, stronger, and more united".</p>\n<p> "We hope the study will provide some scientific reference for global climate change cooperation, helping to clarify issues such as the asymmetry of forest resources among countries and the imbalance of rights and responsibilities between northern and southern countries," he said.</p>\n<p> Qin said his team will fully leverage the advantages of international cooperation to conduct research in the intersection of energy, nature, and carbon neutrality, with a focus on exploring feasible natural climate solutions in the years to come.</p>\n<p> The editor of Science said Qin's study has comprehensively considered multiple factors and provides a "more realistic" assessment of climate Line truncated

"title": "009VIEWS - US 'Department of War' reflects its true role",
|
||||
"description": "<div></div><img src=\"https://mobile.chinadaily.com.cn/cn/resfile/2025-09-10/009/20250910_009_01_55.png\" />\n<p> When the US administration announced last week that the "Department of War" will be used as the "secondary title" for the Department of Defense, it was, for once, being honest.</p>\n<p> The administration offered two justifications for the White House's decision. First, it reminded Americans that when the department was still called the "Department of War", the United States won two world wars. The name, it suggested, carries a victorious aura. Second, it argued that "Defense" sounds too passive, whereas "War" better captures the US' military posture. One can hardly fault this candor.</p>\n<p> Asked about the move, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson simply said that it is the US' internal matter.</p>\n<p> From George Washington to Harry Truman, US presidents maintained the Department of War for over 160 years. Through those years, the US transformed from a fragile republic into a global power. For the incumbent administration, which has pledged to "Make America Great Again", evoking that era makes political sense. By dusting off the old title, it taps into a collective memory of past glory, rekindling pride while fueling hopes of renewed greatness. That is an apt political move for the US, given its current belligerent posture.</p>\n<p> More important, restoring the title, "Department of War", makes it consistent with the institution's true character. Since 1949, when it was rebranded the "Department of Defense", the Pentagon has not followed a defensive defense policy. Its mission has remained that of the Department of War: planning, launching and sustaining conflicts across the globe.</p>\n<p> A "department of defense" should primarily safeguard national security. But in the eight decades since the end of World War II, the US' so-called Department of Defense has done the opposite. It has frequently used its military power abroad on pretexts not related to self-defense. Successive US administrations have exhibited one common behavior: even when no country posed a threat to the US' security, they have conjured up enemies and triggered conflicts. If there were no adversaries, they were invented.</p>\n<p> The rebranding of the US defense department did not temper US aggression. On the contrary, the US Department of Defense has proliferated wars. The record is long and bloody. The countries and regions scarred by US military action include the Korean Peninsula, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Guatemala, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Somalia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. The Pentagon's interventions are too numerous to catalogue. Suffice it to say that the department has been far busier using force than defending US soil.</p>\n<p> Even in 2025, only months into the current administration, airstrikes were carried out on Iran, and warships dispatched to Venezuelan waters under the guise of fighting drug cartels. If this is not the behavior of a "war department", what is?</p>\n<p> Seen in this light, restoring the old title is not a reckless but a "corrective" move. For decades, the US Department of Defense has acted under a misleading title. Now, at least, the name reflects reality. By admitting what everyone else can see — that the US is a country perpetually at war — the administration has indulged in an act of bureaucratic truth-telling.</p>\n<p> Of course, the Pentagon is not the only US institution misnamed. Other departments could use a dose of the same honesty.</p>\n<p> Take the Department of the Treasury. In practice, it often functions less as a steward of fiscal policy than the command center for economic sanctions. Why not rename it the "Department of Economic Punishment"?

First, it reminded Americans that when the department was still called the "Department of War", the United States won two world wars. The name, it suggested, carries a victorious aura. Second, it argued that "Defense" sounds too passive, whereas "War" better captures the US' military posture. One can hardly fault this candor.</p>\n<p> Asked about the move, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson simply said that it is the US' internal matter.</p>\n<p> From George Washington to Harry Truman, US presidents maintained the Department of War for over 160 years. Through those years, the US transformed from a fragile republic into a global power. For the incumbent administration, which has pledged to "Make America Great Again", evoking that era makes political sense. By dusting off the old title, it taps into a collective memory of past glory, rekindling pride while fueling hopes of renewed greatness. That is an apt political move for the US, given its current belligerent posture.</p>\n<p> More important, restoring the title, "Department of War", makes it consistent with the institution's true character. Since 1949, when it was rebranded the "Department of Defense", the Pentagon has not followed a defensive defense policy. Its mission has remained that of the Department of War: planning, launching and sustaining conflicts across the globe.</p>\n<p> A "department of defense" should primarily safeguard national security. But in the eight decades since the end of World War II, the US' so-called Department of Defense has done the opposite. It has frequently used its military power abroad on pretexts not related to self-defense. Successive US administrations have exhibited one common behavior: even when no country posed a threat to the US' security, they have conjured up enemies and triggered conflicts. If there were no adversaries, they were invented.</p>\n<p> The rebranding of the US defense department did not temper US aggression. On the contrary, the US Department of Defense has proliferated wars. The record is long and bloody. The countries and regions scarred by US military action include the Korean Peninsula, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Guatemala, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Somalia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. The Pentagon's interventions are too numerous to catalogue. Suffice it to say that the department has been far busier using force than defending US soil.</p>\n<p> Even in 2025, only months into the current administration, airstrikes were carried out on Iran, and warships dispatched to Venezuelan waters under the guise of fighting drug cartels. If this is not the behavior of a "war department", what is?</p>\n<p> Seen in this light, restoring the old title is not a reckless but a "corrective" move. For decades, the US Department of Defense has acted under a misleading title. Now, at least, the name reflects reality. By admitting what everyone else can see — that the US is a country perpetually at war — the administration has indulged in an act of bureaucratic truth-telling.</p>\n<p> Of course, the Pentagon is not the only US institution misnamed. Other departments could use a dose of the same honesty.</p>\n<p> Take the Department of the Treasury. In practice, it often functions less as a steward of fiscal policy than the command center for economic sanctions. Why not rename it the "Department of Economic Punishment"? And the Department of Commerce, forever accusing other countries of "unfair trade", could be renamed the "Department of Trade Wars".</p>\n<p> Then there is the Department of Energy, which has largely treated oil and gas as the only energy sources worth mentioning. Renewables barely enter the picture. A more candid title for it may be the "Department of Petroleum". As for the Central Intelligence Agency, beyond intelligence-gathering, its well-documented history of political subversion and "color revolutions" abroad makes "Covert Action Agency" a more accurate name for it.</p>\n<p> Names matter.

Israel has taken control of nearly 75 percent of Gaza since Oct 7,2023.</p>\n<p> "To all residents of Gaza City …the defense forces are determined to defeat Hamas and will act with greater force in the Gaza City area," the military's Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee said in a statement on X. "Evacuate immediately via the Al-Rashid axis."</p>\n<p> Over several days, Israel has destroyed 50 high-rise buildings in Gaza City, accusing Hamas of putting surveillance infrastructure in them.</p>\n<p> "All of this is just a prelude, just the opening, to the main intensified operation — the ground maneuver of our forces, who are now organizing and assembling to enter Gaza City," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday evening.</p>\n<p> The evacuation orders caused panic among Gaza City residents. Laila Saqr, 40, told AFP by telephone, "Israel destroys everything — even the memories. If they could, they would strip the very oxygen from the air."</p>\n<p> International critics say Israel's plan, which includes demilitarizing the whole strip as Israel takes security control of it, could deepen the humanitarian plight of the 2.2 million population, which is facing a critical risk of famine.</p>\n<p> Volker Turk, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, on Monday accused Israel of committing "war crime upon war crime" and said the scale of devastation in Gaza was "shocking the conscience of the world".</p>\n<p> Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Washington-based Institute for Policy Studies, told Al Jazeera that Israel is intent on "ethnically cleansing Gaza".</p>\n<p> "Netanyahu shows no signs of changing his demand that Hamas simply surrender as the only answer he would accept, or he will otherwise go ahead with more devastation of Gaza City, and the destruction one by one of high-rise buildings, regardless of who's in them," she said.</p>\n<p> Mediation efforts by the United States, Qatar and Egypt have failed to bridge gaps between Israel and Hamas in order to secure a ceasefire and the release of remaining hostages.</p>\n<p> Hamas confirmed on Sunday that it had received the proposal from the US that included "some ideas "toward reaching a comprehensive ceasefire.</p>\n<p> But senior Hamas official Basem Naim later dismissed this as a trap, saying it amounted to an attempt to secure Hamas' rejection rather than to end the conflict.</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, Israeli army radio said Israel tried to attack Hamas officials in Qatar on Tuesday. Qatar's Al Jazeera television, citing a Hamas source, said the attack targeted Hamas Gaza ceasefire negotiators.</p>\n<p> Several blasts were heard in Qatar's Doha on Tuesday, Reuters witnesses said.</p>\n<p> <b>Flotilla hit</b></p>\n<p> In another development, organizers of a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists said on Tuesday that one of their boats was hit by a suspected drone off the coast of Tunisia, but authorities there said "no drones" had been detected.</p>\n<p> The UN's special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, who was in Tunisia, told Reuters: "We do not know who carried out the attack, but we would not be surprised if it was Israel. If confirmed, it is an attack against Tunisian sovereignty."</p>\n<p> The Global Sumud Flotilla is an initiative seeking to break Israel's naval blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza using civilian boats. Sumud means "resilience" in Arabic.</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, over 1,800 actors, entertainers and producers, including actors Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo and Tilda Swinton, signed a pledge released on Monday to not work with Israeli film institutions that they see as being complicit in the abuse of Palestinians by Israel.</p>\n<p> Agencies contributed to this story.</p>\n<p> <span>cuihaipei@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

"description": "<div></div><p> China is looking to play a bigger role in shaping global antitrust rules, especially in the artificial intelligence era, as senior market regulator officials and renowned industry experts vowed to boost antitrust at home while expanding international cooperation.</p>\n<p> Speaking at the 11th International Forum on Fair Competition Policy of China in Beijing on Monday, Luo Wen, head of the State Administration for Market Regulation, said that China would continue to refine its antitrust and anti-unfair competition laws, build a unified national market and push for "transparent, stable and predictable" rules for businesses at home and abroad.</p>\n<p> Luo said China "actively participates in global fair competition governance", citing cooperation agreements signed with 37 jurisdictions and competition chapters in 19 free trade deals. "We will make China's market a stage for global innovation and win-win cooperation," he said.</p>\n<p> He added that Chinese authorities would improve the legal framework, enforce against cartels and abuse of dominance, and step up scrutiny of mergers, while eliminating local protectionism to accelerate the building of a unified national market.</p>\n<p> Wang Liming, a member of the expert advisory group of the State Council's anti-monopoly and anti-unfair competition commission, said powerful platforms are increasingly using algorithms to enable "millisecond-level price coordination" and to package price discrimination as personalized recommendations.</p>\n<p> "Although more than 60 countries and regions have introduced relevant regulations, there is still no coordinated governance framework," Wang said.</p>\n<p> He called for new global mechanisms under platforms such as the G20 and APEC, including common standards for algorithm transparency and data governance, a cross-border merger review system, and even international dispute resolution mechanisms to address competition policy conflicts.</p>\n<p> Wang warned that seemingly neutral rules such as technical standards or environmental requirements could become "invisible barriers" if used to exclude rivals.</p>\n<p> "Competition policy should be a bridge for global prosperity, not a weapon of conflict," he said.</p>\n<p> China has been beefing up antitrust efforts, following a major overhaul of its legal framework. SAMR Antitrust Chief Wang Tiehan said regulators have investigated 31 monopoly cases and more than 21,000 unfair competition cases since 2024, while reviewing over 1,100 merger filings.</p>\n<p> Wang said the revised anti-unfair competition law now includes provisions on abuses of data rights and digital platforms, and regulators have issued guidelines covering areas from standard-essential patents to pharmaceutical industry bribery risks.</p>\n<p> He said, "We will strictly investigate monopolistic and unfair practices that damage overall industry competitiveness and distort ecosystems, ensuring that good money wins the market."</p>\n<p> Wang pledged to crack down on local governments that abuse administrative power to block competition, calling the creation of a national unified market a "strategic move related to China's long-term development".</p>\n<p> Tech executives at the forum said China's regulatory stance had given them breathing space to innovate in AI.</p>\n<p> Wen Jia, head of public affairs at Alibaba Group, said that the company expects more AI-driven innovation to emerge, as AI was already transforming industries from entertainment to e-commerce.</p>\n<p> "China's top market regulator creates a friendly regulatory environment that allows companies to experiment. We have every reason to believe that under this innovative and friendly environment, more innovations, driven by AI, will continue to emerge, and the business environment will continue to improve," Wen said.</p>\n<p> <span>chengyu@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

He was joined by other leaders including Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Russian President Vladimir Putin and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, as well as leaders from Egypt, Iran, Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates, and representatives from India and Ethiopia.</p>\n<p> Xi described BRICS countries as the forefront of the Global South amid rampant hegemonism, unilateralism and protectionism, saying that this is a critical juncture for them to act on the BRICS Spirit of openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation.</p>\n<p> Originally comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, BRICS has developed into a group of 11 full member countries and 10 partner countries.</p>\n<p> The BRICS cooperation mechanism is now considered to be an important platform for solidarity and cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries.</p>\n<p> Xi called for upholding multilateralism to defend international fairness and justice.</p>\n<p> "History tells us that multilateralism is the shared aspiration of the people and the overarching trend of our times. It provides an important underpinning for world peace and development," he said, noting that the Global Governance Initiative that he recently proposed is aimed at galvanizing joint global action for a more just and equitable global governance system.</p>\n<p> "We should follow the principle of extensive consultation and joint contribution for shared benefit, and safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, so as to cement the foundations of multilateralism," Xi said.</p>\n<p> He also called for efforts to actively promote greater democracy in international relations and increase the representation and voice of Global South countries.</p>\n<p> "We should improve the global governance system through reform so as to fully mobilize resources from all quarters and tackle more effectively the common challenges for humanity," Xi said.</p>\n<p> Noting that economic globalization is an irresistible trend of history, Xi stressed the need to uphold openness and win-win cooperation to safeguard the international economic and trade order.</p>\n<p> Countries cannot thrive without an international environment of open cooperation, and no country can afford to retreat into self-imposed isolation, he said.</p>\n<p> "No matter how the international landscape may evolve, we must stay committed to building an open global economy, so as to share opportunities and achieve win-win outcomes in openness," Xi said, calling for efforts to oppose all forms of protectionism.</p>\n<p> "We should promote a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, place development at the heart of our international agenda, and ensure that Global South countries participate in international cooperation as equals and share in the fruits of development," he said.</p>\n<p> The Chinese president also emphasized the importance of BRICS countries managing their own affairs well in order to cope with external challenges.</p>\n<p> Accounting for nearly half of the world's population, around 30 percent of global economic output and one-fifth of global trade, the BRICS countries are also home to major natural resources, big manufacturers and vast markets, Xi said.</p>\n<p> "The more closely we work together, the more resilient, resourceful and effective we are in addressing external risks and challenges," he said, expressing China's readiness to work with fellow BRICS countries to implement the Global Development Initiative and advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.</p>\n<p> He also encouraged BRICS countries to leverage their respective strengths, deepen practical cooperation and produce more outcomes in such areas as trade and the economy, finance, science and technology, in order to deliver more practical benefits to their peoples.</p>\n<p> <span>mojingxi@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

It provides an important underpinning for world peace and development," he said, noting that the Global Governance Initiative that he recently proposed is aimed at galvanizing joint global action for a more just and equitable global governance system.</p>\n<p> "We should follow the principle of extensive consultation and joint contribution for shared benefit, and safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, so as to cement the foundations of multilateralism," Xi said.</p>\n<p> He also called for efforts to actively promote greater democracy in international relations and increase the representation and voice of Global South countries.</p>\n<p> "We should improve the global governance system through reform so as to fully mobilize resources from all quarters and tackle more effectively the common challenges for humanity," Xi said.</p>\n<p> Noting that economic globalization is an irresistible trend of history, Xi stressed the need to uphold openness and win-win cooperation to safeguard the international economic and trade order.</p>\n<p> Countries cannot thrive without an international environment of open cooperation, and no country can afford to retreat into self-imposed isolation, he said.</p>\n<p> "No matter how the international landscape may evolve, we must stay committed to building an open global economy, so as to share opportunities and achieve win-win outcomes in openness," Xi said, calling for efforts to oppose all forms of protectionism.</p>\n<p> "We should promote a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, place development at the heart of our international agenda, and ensure that Global South countries participate in international cooperation as equals and share in the fruits of development," he said.</p>\n<p> The Chinese president also emphasized the importance of BRICS countries managing their own affairs well in order to cope with external challenges.</p>\n<p> Accounting for nearly half of the world's population, around 30 percent of global economic output and one-fifth of global trade, the BRICS countries are also home to major natural resources, big manufacturers and vast markets, Xi said.</p>\n<p> "The more closely we work together, the more resilient, resourceful and effective we are in addressing external risks and challenges," he said, expressing China's readiness to work with fellow BRICS countries to implement the Global Development Initiative and advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.</p>\n<p> He also encouraged BRICS countries to leverage their respective strengths, deepen practical cooperation and produce more outcomes in such areas as trade and the economy, finance, science and technology, in order to deliver more practical benefits to their peoples.</p>\n<p> <span>mojingxi@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

"description": "<div></div><p> The Ministry of Justice has provided robust legal support for the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) over the past five years, officials announced on Monday.</p>\n<p> At a news conference, Minister of Justice He Rong said the ministry has strengthened the development of laws and regulations in critical areas, emerging fields and foreign-related domains to support high-quality development.</p>\n<p> Since the plan took effect in 2021, several significant laws and regulations have been enacted, including the Private Economy Promotion Law, the Food Safety Law, the Energy Law and interim regulations for unmanned aircraft flight management.</p>\n<p> The State Council, China's Cabinet, has submitted 53 legislative proposals to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for deliberation and has formulated or amended administrative regulations 150 times, He said.</p>\n<p> Vice-Minister of Justice Li Mingzheng said legislation has focused on addressing weaknesses and gaps.</p>\n<p> "We have strengthened legal frameworks and regulations for new technologies and emerging industries such as the digital economy, autonomous driving, artificial intelligence and the low-altitude economy," Li said.</p>\n<p> Since 2023, the ministry has stepped up efforts to address urgent legislative issues by leading or intervening in the drafting process, improving the efficiency of government legislation with broad public participation through legislative consultations and interpretations, Li said.</p>\n<p> The ministry has worked with other departments to promote the formulation and amendment of laws and regulations, including the Food Safety Law, the Preschool Education Law and the Regulations on the Protection of Minors Online, to enhance inclusive and fundamental legal protections for livelihood issues, according to He.</p>\n<p> China currently has 830,000 lawyers, 45,000 law firms, 67,000 arbitrators, 15,000 notaries, 40,000 forensic experts and 12,000 legal aid workers handling more than 40 million cases annually, according to the ministry.</p>\n<p> "Public legal services have become more balanced and accessible, actively addressing the legal service needs of groups such as migrant workers, people with disabilities, the elderly, youth, military personnel and their families," He said. "Over the past five years, more than 170 million legal consultations have been provided."</p>\n<p> The capacity for foreign-related legal services has also been enhanced as the country develops international first-class arbitration institutions and law firms, supporting the establishment of the Belt and Road Initiative legal service association. Chinese law firms have opened 207 branches in 37 countries and regions to assist citizens and enterprises in global ventures, He said.</p>\n<p> Over the past five years, 16,000 foreign-related arbitration cases have been handled, with the total amount in dispute reaching 730 billion yuan ($102 billion).</p>\n<p> In 2024 alone, more than 4,400 cases were accepted, an increase of 100 percent compared with 2020. In those cases, nearly 200 billion yuan was in dispute, up 136 percent from that year.</p>\n<p> "China has gradually become a preferred destination for international commercial arbitration," He said.</p>\n<p> <span>lishangyi@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

"title": "008COMMENT - Service consumption will drive future growth",
|
||||
"description": "<div></div><p> Editor's note: To unlock their consumption potential, Chinese cities have introduced new commercial formats that leverage their unique local features. Wang Wei, former director of the Institute of Market Economy under the Development Research Centre of the State Council, told Oriental Outlook magazine that the role of service consumption in supporting overall consumption continues to grow, particularly in areas such as tourism, performances and sports, where consumers are willing to pay higher prices for these experiences. Below are excerpts from the interview. The views don't necessarily represent those of China Daily.</p>\n<p> China's consumption market is upgrading from goods consumption to service consumption, a critical stage in crossing the high-income threshold. In recent years, travel, entertainment and sports have become the new pillars of service consumption.</p>\n<p> Of course, the rapid growth of service consumption does not mean that goods consumption has slowed down. The demand for quality goods is increasing, and will drive continuous upgrades in the functionality and quality of goods consumption.</p>\n<p> The two major growth areas for future consumption in China are the improvement in the quality of goods consumption and the expansion of service consumption. However, more incremental growth will come from service consumption.</p>\n<p> Yet, on the supply side, there are shortcomings in the innovation and development capabilities of service consumption, with a mismatch between supply and demand for mid-to-high-end quality service consumption. On the demand side, the public has varying perceptions of service consumption. A series of measures can help. First, greater efforts must be made to promote the opening-up of the service sector and attracting innovative resources and high-level services from across the world to improve the quality of life of the Chinese people.</p>\n<p> At the same time, it is necessary to further lower the threshold for private enterprises to enter the service sector.</p>\n<p> Second, not only should investment access be further liberalized, but the free flow of human resources should also be encouraged more. Opening up the service sector helps in better allocation of resources, attracts innovative resources and meets the public's demand for services.</p>\n<p> Third, most of the entities providing services in China are small and micro enterprises. Therefore, policies must provide targeted support to these enterprises.</p>\n<p> Fourth, laws and regulations related to consumer rights protection must be updated to keep pace with the times. Past laws were primarily aligned with goods consumption. However, the service consumption market is more prone to issues such as information asymmetry and unequal status between large entities and consumers, leading to inadequate protection of consumer rights. It is necessary to further improve regulatory standards for the service sector, and introduce and revise laws and regulations covering services such as housing, education, healthcare and finance, to enhance the growth of the service sector.</p>\n<p> Fifth, the paid annual leave system should be strictly implemented. The growth of service consumption requires more leisure time and a balance between work and rest. The paid annual leave system should be made more flexible to allow people to have more say in planning their holidays. For instance, they can combine paid annual leave with short holidays to achieve staggered vacations.</p>\n<p> At the same time, workers' rights must be legally protected.</p>\n<p></p>",
