The bridge &mdash; 2,890 meters long with a main span of 1,420 meters &mdash; rises 625 meters above the Beipan River, making it the world&#39;s tallest bridge and the world&#39;s largest-span bridge built in a mountainous area.</p>\n<p> The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in Guizhou province, the world&#39;s tallest, opened to traffic on Sunday, turning what was once a two-hour drive across the gorge into a trip of barely two minutes. It&#39;s a symbol of China&#39;s progress in improving infrastructure in rural areas.</p>\n<p> Rising 625 meters above the Beipan River, the bridge is a key project of an expressway linking the Liuzhi special district of Liupanshui city with Anlong county. With a main span measuring 1,420 meters, it anchors a new expressway that winds through one of China&#39;s most mountainous provinces, where geography has long made traveling a challenge.</p>\n<p> Guizhou has earned a reputation as a province of bridges. According to the provincial transportation department, more than 32,000 bridges have been built or are under construction, and nearly half of the world&#39;s 100 tallest bridges rise from its valleys. The Huajiang bridge is now its most striking landmark, embodying both practical needs and engineering ambition of the region.</p>\n<p> Building at such a height tested the limits of design and construction. Engineers faced unpredictable weather, sheer cliffs and wind gusts topping 100 kilometers per hour. To meet those challenges, the team relied on a series of new technologies.</p>\n<p> Han Hongju, chief engineer of the Guizhou Communications Investment Group, said the company introduced an intelligent cable-hoisting system guided by the Beidou Navigation Satellite System. It allowed workers to position steel trusses &mdash; the structures that support the deck &mdash; with centimeter-level accuracy.</p>\n<p> &quot;The job once required 40 to 50 workers to watch the process physically and communicate by radio,&quot; Han said. &quot;Now, one or two people in a control room can input coordinates and limit positioning errors within 10 centimeters.&quot;</p>\n<p> Liang Junyuan, a project manager who oversaw manufacturing and splice work, said that the China Railway Baoji Bridge Group used a virtual preassembly technique, likened to &quot;building blocks in the cloud&quot;, to install 93 truss segments in just 73 days.</p>\n<p> Liang said the team adopted a streamlined design and a central stabilizing plate to counter wind of more than 100 km per hour, reducing wind loads by about 30 percent.</p>\n<p> Choosing the site itself required careful study. Engineers considered several options within five to 10 km upstream and downstream, balancing cost, safety and environmental protection.</p>\n<p> &quot;Those objective conditions determined the bridge&#39;s height and span,&quot; said Yang Jian, chief engineer at the Guizhou Transportation Planning Survey &amp; Design Academy Co, the survey and design company for the bridge. &quot;It turns an impassable gorge into a passage and helps spur development for residents living nearby.&quot;</p>\n<p> Beyond the engineering, the bridge is already reshaping local tourism and the economy. Authorities and developers are preparing attractions such as bungee jumping, a cafe atop the bridge tower, and an integrated tourism area designed to channel income into surrounding communities.</p>\n<p> In Huajiang village, directly below the bridge, signs of vitalization are visible. Once part of the ancient Tea Horse Road linking Guizhou with Yunnan province, the formerly quiet village has seen a surge of visitors.</p>\n<p> &quot;Thanks to the unique upward view of the bridge, visitor numbers have multiplied,&quot; said Zhang Delin, Party secretary of Pingjie township. &quot;Tourists from across the country and even artists are coming to see this magnificent project.&quot;</p>\n<p> According to him, once-barren fields and outward migration are giving way to a revival. An increasing number of young people have returned in recent years to start businesses around the bridge.</p>\n<p> One of them is Lin Guoquan, 35, who used to be a migrant worker and now runs a guesthouse in the village. His property offers a view of the bridge from its bedrooms. &quot;We&#39;ve been fully booked for days, and everyone wants to see the opening,&quot; Lin said.</p>\n<p> On the opposite bank, Huajiang township in Guanling county is widening roads and building viewing platforms and other tourist facilities to handle crowds.</p>\n<p> Local officials estimate that 1,000 to 2,000 people were visiting daily even before the bridge opened, with no admission fee required.</p>\n<p> <spLine truncated "description": "<div></div><img src=\"https://mobile.chinadaily.com.cn/cn/resfile/2025-09-29/001/20250929_001_04_49013.png\" /><p>Local residents take photos of the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in Southwest China&#39;s Guizhou province on Saturday, a day before it opened to traffic.

In 2024, the country&#39;s new wind turbine capacity made up nearly 70 percent of global additions, indicating steady growth. Additionally, between 2015 and 2024, more than 90 percent of urban residents had convenient access to public transport, and all provincial governments had adopted disaster reduction strategies &mdash; both sectors having already met the 2030 targets ahead of schedule.</p>\n<p> Guo also highlighted the positive influence of China&#39;s breakthroughs in key areas on the advancement of global sustainable development goals.</p>\n<p> He said Africa has become a new engine driving the global rice expansion, with over half of the countries worldwide that expanded their rice cultivation areas being in Africa. The continent achieved a 15.7 percent increase from 2015 to 2024, contributing an additional 2.2 million hectares, or more than 20 percent of the global net increase.</p>\n<p> &quot;China&#39;s technological innovation and development assistance are driving the growth of food production in Africa, accelerating the achievement of the global zero hunger target,&quot; Guo said.</p>\n<p> He added that China&#39;s advancements in technological innovation and large-scale production have significantly reduced the costs of photovoltaic systems. As a result, the investment payback period for photovoltaic power generation is now comparable to or even shorter than that of traditional thermal power or hydropower in three quarters of the areas globally. This demonstrates the economic viability of developing photovoltaic power in these regions.</p>\n<p> However, under the combined pressures of intensifying climate change, rising geopolitical tensions, frequent economic shocks and increasing development vulnerability, the report also cautioned that the scale and pace of advancing the 2030 Agenda have fallen far short of expectations.

"description": "<div></div><p> Travel demand in China will stay strong during the upcoming National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival break, with 2.36 billion trips forecast and multiple sectors gearing up to ensure smooth journeys, officials said on Sunday.</p>\n<p> &quot;The eight-day holiday will see strong and diverse travel demand, whether for family visits or tourism,&quot; said Li Yang, vice-minister of transport, at a news conference in Beijing.</p>\n<p> Average daily trips are projected to reach 295 million, up 3.2 percent from 2024. The holiday will begin on Wednesday and end on Oct 8. Self-driving will dominate holiday travel, with about 1.87 billion trips expected, or nearly 80 percent of the total. Highway traffic could exceed 70 million vehicle trips per day at peak times, including 14 million new energy vehicle journeys.</p>\n<p> &quot;Travelers driving new energy vehicles should plan their fuel and charging stops in advance,&quot; Li said. &quot;We have asked service areas nationwide to step up charging services, with some adding new charging piles and even mobile charging units.&quot;</p>\n<p> Travel peaks are likely to occur on Wednesday, when passenger flows may top 340 million trips, and again on Oct 7 and 8 as people return from their travels.</p>\n<p> Tourism demand remains strong, with Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing and Chengdu, Sichuan province, among the most popular domestic destinations. Outbound travel to Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia is also expected to increase.</p>\n<p> To ensure smooth travel, authorities are coordinating resources across rail, road, water and air. &quot;We are making targeted plans to ease congestion and improve charging services,&quot; Li said.</p>\n<p> Car rental demand is also surging. &quot;Car rental and self-drive tourism have become a new choice during holidays,&quot; Li said. &quot;We expect double-digit growth during this year&#39;s holiday.&quot;</p>\n<p> Authorities are expanding cross-city return options and encouraging rental firms to reduce or waive fees in key clusters such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Services such as deposit-free rentals and 24-hour pick-up and return are also being promoted.</p>\n<p> Railways will carry an estimated 219 million passengers between Monday and Oct 10, a record high. &quot;The railway system will maximize capacity and optimize scheduling,&quot; said Wu Dejin, deputy director of the National Railway Administration. &quot;We will dynamically analyze ticketing data and add temporary services on routes with concentrated demand.&quot;</p>\n<p> On Wednesday, passenger flows are also expected to peak across the railway system, with about 13,000 train journeys running daily and more than 18 million passenger trips carried out on average. Air travel is forecast to hit 19.2 million passenger trips, up 3.6 percent year-on-year.</p>\n<p> &quot;The holiday will bring another peak after the summer travel season,&quot; said Xiong Jie, chief pilot of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. &quot;The international market will continue to grow, especially to East Asia and Southeast Asia, while demand for South Asia and Europe is also picking up.&quot;</p>\n<p> Weather conditions may add uncertainty to the travel rush. Xiao Chan, deputy director of the National Climate Center, said that during the holiday, parts of western China and the Huanghuai region &mdash; covering areas between the Yellow and Huai rivers in central and eastern China &mdash; will see frequent rainfall, while the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and northern part of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region are likely to experience rain and snow.</p>\n<p> Cold fronts will be active and mainly track northward, bringing lower-than-usual temperatures to Xinjiang, Shaanxi and Henan provinces, while much of the rest of the country will remain warmer than average.</p>\n<p> &quot;Toward the end of the holiday, a typhoon may affect southern coastal areas,&quot; Xiao added.</p>\n<p> <span>Contact the writers at luowangshu@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

Services such as deposit-free rentals and 24-hour pick-up and return are also being promoted.</p>\n<p> Railways will carry an estimated 219 million passengers between Monday and Oct 10, a record high. &quot;The railway system will maximize capacity and optimize scheduling,&quot; said Wu Dejin, deputy director of the National Railway Administration. &quot;We will dynamically analyze ticketing data and add temporary services on routes with concentrated demand.&quot;</p>\n<p> On Wednesday, passenger flows are also expected to peak across the railway system, with about 13,000 train journeys running daily and more than 18 million passenger trips carried out on average. Air travel is forecast to hit 19.2 million passenger trips, up 3.6 percent year-on-year.</p>\n<p> &quot;The holiday will bring another peak after the summer travel season,&quot; said Xiong Jie, chief pilot of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. &quot;The international market will continue to grow, especially to East Asia and Southeast Asia, while demand for South Asia and Europe is also picking up.&quot;</p>\n<p> Weather conditions may add uncertainty to the travel rush. Xiao Chan, deputy director of the National Climate Center, said that during the holiday, parts of western China and the Huanghuai region &mdash; covering areas between the Yellow and Huai rivers in central and eastern China &mdash; will see frequent rainfall, while the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and northern part of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region are likely to experience rain and snow.</p>\n<p> Cold fronts will be active and mainly track northward, bringing lower-than-usual temperatures to Xinjiang, Shaanxi and Henan provinces, while much of the rest of the country will remain warmer than average.</p>\n<p> &quot;Toward the end of the holiday, a typhoon may affect southern coastal areas,&quot; Xiao added.</p>\n<p> <span>Contact the writers at luowangshu@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

"title": "008COMMENT - Joint statement on Afghanistan shows regional resolve for peace",
"description": "<div></div><p> On the sidelines of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the foreign ministers of China, Russia, Pakistan and Iran held a meeting on Afghanistan and released a joint statement on Thursday. At a time when certain voices in Washington have openly hinted at &quot;reclaiming&quot; Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, the four countries&#39; collective position is both timely and significant.</p>\n<p> The joint statement stresses the principle that the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Afghanistan must be respected. Equally important, it conveys unambiguous opposition to any attempt to reestablish foreign military bases in or around Afghanistan, especially by those who bear direct responsibility for the country&#39;s current predicament. Such actions, the statement rightly warns, would not only be inconsistent with the aspirations of the Afghan people but also harmful to regional peace and stability.</p>\n<p> The Afghan government issued a statement on Sept 21 saying it firmly rejects recent US calls to reclaim the air base and reaffirming its unwavering commitment to national sovereignty. It urged Washington to honor its pledge in the 2020 Doha Agreement that there would be no military interference.</p>\n<p> Deputy spokesman of the Afghan administration Hamdullah Fitrat posted the statement on his X account, which highlighted that Afghanistan&#39;s independence and territorial integrity remain paramount in all bilateral engagements, particularly with the US.</p>\n<p> For over two decades, Afghanistan endured the heavy costs of military intervention. Instead of bringing peace or development, the prolonged presence of foreign forces deepened internal divisions, disrupted social cohesion and left the country with massive security and humanitarian challenges. It should be an international consensus that Afghanistan needs stability, reconstruction and genuine respect for its sovereignty &mdash; not a return of external military deployments.</p>\n<p> The joint statement by the four regional stakeholders therefore reflects the voice of both justice and reason. It shows that the four countries are determined to support Afghanistan in pursuing an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned path to peace and development. It also demonstrates their consensus that the international community&#39;s responsibility lies in providing humanitarian and reconstruction assistance rather than reviving old patterns of intervention.</p>\n<p> When asked about the joint statement at a regular news conference on Friday in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun reiterated China&#39;s firm position. As he pointed out, the statement fully illustrates the respect that Afghanistan&#39;s neighboring countries have for its sovereignty, independence and national dignity.

"content": "<div></div><p> On the sidelines of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the foreign ministers of China, Russia, Pakistan and Iran held a meeting on Afghanistan and released a joint statement on Thursday. At a time when certain voices in Washington have openly hinted at &quot;reclaiming&quot; Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, the four countries&#39; collective position is both timely and significant.</p>\n<p> The joint statement stresses the principle that the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Afghanistan must be respected. Equally important, it conveys unambiguous opposition to any attempt to reestablish foreign military bases in or around Afghanistan, especially by those who bear direct responsibility for the country&#39;s current predicament. Such actions, the statement rightly warns, would not only be inconsistent with the aspirations of the Afghan people but also harmful to regional peace and stability.</p>\n<p> The Afghan government issued a statement on Sept 21 saying it firmly rejects recent US calls to reclaim the air base and reaffirming its unwavering commitment to national sovereignty. It urged Washington to honor its pledge in the 2020 Doha Agreement that there would be no military interference.</p>\n<p> Deputy spokesman of the Afghan administration Hamdullah Fitrat posted the statement on his X account, which highlighted that Afghanistan&#39;s independence and territorial integrity remain paramount in all bilateral engagements, particularly with the US.</p>\n<p> For over two decades, Afghanistan endured the heavy costs of military intervention. Instead of bringing peace or development, the prolonged presence of foreign forces deepened internal divisions, disrupted social cohesion and left the country with massive security and humanitarian challenges. It should be an international consensus that Afghanistan needs stability, reconstruction and genuine respect for its sovereignty &mdash; not a return of external military deployments.</p>\n<p> The joint statement by the four regional stakeholders therefore reflects the voice of both justice and reason. It shows that the four countries are determined to support Afghanistan in pursuing an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned path to peace and development. It also demonstrates their consensus that the international community&#39;s responsibility lies in providing humanitarian and reconstruction assistance rather than reviving old patterns of intervention.</p>\n<p> When asked about the joint statement at a regular news conference on Friday in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun reiterated China&#39;s firm position. As he pointed out, the statement fully illustrates the respect that Afghanistan&#39;s neighboring countries have for its sovereignty, independence and national dignity. It also reveals the shared will of the peace-loving countries to help Afghanistan rebuild and remain stable.</p>\n<p> As Guo stressed, as a close neighbor and a responsible major country, China is ready to work with the international community to continue extending assistance to Afghanistan and to play a constructive role in promoting its peace and reconstruction. China&#39;s commitment to Afghanistan is rooted in principles, not in geopolitical calculations.</p>\n<p> The joint statement makes clear that reintroducing military infrastructure into Afghanistan would serve no purpose other than to open old wounds, sow new divisions and destabilize the entire region.

It is conferred biennially by the Singapore Institute of Planners, which convenes an international jury to evaluate submissions on criteria such as originality, innovation and sustainability.</p>\n<p> The panel commended the Langtou project, praising it for transcending simple physical renewal by placing socio-historical context at its core and pioneering a new model of rural vitalization driven by cultural empowerment.</p>\n<p> According to the jurors, the Langtou model provides a compelling blueprint for rural vitalization in China &mdash; one that respects history, champions diversity, and demonstrates that empowering community culture is the decisive factor in reversing rural decline and achieving sustainable development.</p>\n<p> Dating back to the late Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), Langtou village has a history spanning more than 700 years and is one of only two settlements in Guangzhou designated as a &quot;famous Chinese historical and cultural village&quot;.</p>\n<p> In response to the national rural vitalization strategy, the Guangdong Vipshop Philanthropic Foundation partnered with the Huadu district government in September 2021, signing a strategic cooperation agreement to explore a sustainable model for high-quality rural development through philanthropic funding.</p>\n<p> With the aim of pioneering new approaches for sustainable conservation, the Langtou project established a chief planner framework, entrusting the team led by Professor Shao Yong from the Shanghai Tongji Urban Planning and Design Institute with the planning mandate.</p>\n<p> The team provided comprehensive consultancy throughout the process, guiding the architecture, landscape, exhibition design, and cultural programming to ensure the project both protected the heritage core and facilitated its vibrant reuse.</p>\n<p> Additionally, leveraging the foundation&#39;s philanthropic support, the project established a multistakeholder governance model to explore a new rural vitalization path guided by cultural leadership and philanthropic empowerment.</p>\n<p> According to local officials, guided by the concept of &quot;inhabited heritage&quot;, the Langtou project explores an innovative practice that integrates culture, space, and society. It is culture-led, prioritizing the identification of key cultural sites after a thorough assessment of the village&#39;s unique value. In collaboration with the villagers, it employs a &quot;micro-regeneration&quot; strategy to revitalize the ancient village&#39;s spaces and improve its environment, all while preserving the community&#39;s collective memory.</p>\n<p> Over the past three years, the project has introduced diverse cultural venues and events including the Chunyangtai Arts and Cultural Centre, Hechunzhu Residence and The Sun Forever Shines permanent exhibition.

It is conferred biennially by the Singapore Institute of Planners, which convenes an international jury to evaluate submissions on criteria such as originality, innovation and sustainability.</p>\n<p> The panel commended the Langtou project, praising it for transcending simple physical renewal by placing socio-historical context at its core and pioneering a new model of rural vitalization driven by cultural empowerment.</p>\n<p> According to the jurors, the Langtou model provides a compelling blueprint for rural vitalization in China &mdash; one that respects history, champions diversity, and demonstrates that empowering community culture is the decisive factor in reversing rural decline and achieving sustainable development.</p>\n<p> Dating back to the late Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), Langtou village has a history spanning more than 700 years and is one of only two settlements in Guangzhou designated as a &quot;famous Chinese historical and cultural village&quot;.</p>\n<p> In response to the national rural vitalization strategy, the Guangdong Vipshop Philanthropic Foundation partnered with the Huadu district government in September 2021, signing a strategic cooperation agreement to explore a sustainable model for high-quality rural development through philanthropic funding.</p>\n<p> With the aim of pioneering new approaches for sustainable conservation, the Langtou project established a chief planner framework, entrusting the team led by Professor Shao Yong from the Shanghai Tongji Urban Planning and Design Institute with the planning mandate.</p>\n<p> The team provided comprehensive consultancy throughout the process, guiding the architecture, landscape, exhibition design, and cultural programming to ensure the project both protected the heritage core and facilitated its vibrant reuse.</p>\n<p> Additionally, leveraging the foundation&#39;s philanthropic support, the project established a multistakeholder governance model to explore a new rural vitalization path guided by cultural leadership and philanthropic empowerment.</p>\n<p> According to local officials, guided by the concept of &quot;inhabited heritage&quot;, the Langtou project explores an innovative practice that integrates culture, space, and society. It is culture-led, prioritizing the identification of key cultural sites after a thorough assessment of the village&#39;s unique value. In collaboration with the villagers, it employs a &quot;micro-regeneration&quot; strategy to revitalize the ancient village&#39;s spaces and improve its environment, all while preserving the community&#39;s collective memory.</p>\n<p> Over the past three years, the project has introduced diverse cultural venues and events including the Chunyangtai Arts and Cultural Centre, Hechunzhu Residence and The Sun Forever Shines permanent exhibition. These efforts, alongside immersive art experiences and new public spaces, aim to establish Langtou as a new Lingnan cultural landmark, ensuring traditional culture is not only preserved but revitalized as a living, dynamic force in the community.</p>\n<p> As the project matures, villagers have regained cultural pride and confidence in their hometown, leading to a noticeable increase in young people returning for employment and entrepreneurship.</p>\n<p> The reputation and influence of the Langtou model continue to grow.

The range of goods covers dozens of categories, including electronic products, complete vehicles and parts, machinery and food.</p>\n<p> The New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, a key logistics network connecting China&#39;s western regions to global markets, has transported over 1 million twenty-foot equivalent units of cargo so far this year. This milestone underscores the corridor&#39;s transformative role in enhancing regional connectivity and trade efficiency.</p>\n<p> Over the years, the corridor has witnessed the continuous expansion of China&#39;s opening-up in its western region. China has remained ASEAN&#39;s largest trading partner for 16 consecutive years, while ASEAN has held the position of China&#39;s largest trading partner for five straight years.</p>\n<p> In the first eight months of this year, the total trade value between China and ASEAN reached 4.93 trillion yuan ($693.2 billion), according to data from the General Administration of Customs.</p>\n<p> The trade corridor&#39;s efficiency has made it the preferred route for businesses. According to Lin Zheng, logistics manager of Chongqing Wankai New Material Technology Co Ltd, shipping through Qinzhou Port in South China&#39;s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region via the corridor reduces transport time by around 10 days compared with eastern ports, significantly enhancing satisfaction among their international clients.</p>\n<p> The company exported 93,000 metric tons of goods in the first half of 2025, a 24 percent increase year-on-year.</p>\n<p> Xie Gongyin, senior logistics manager at Huafeng Group, highlighted the corridor&#39;s economic impact. &quot;Our container exports surged from a few hundred annually in 2019 to nearly 7,000 in just six months this year. Rail transport to Qinzhou Port cuts logistics costs by 10 percent and ensures reliable service regardless of weather conditions,&quot; Xie said.</p>\n<p> As a key hub for rail-sea intermodal transport along the corridor, Qinzhou Port East Station serves as a vital gateway, sending made-in-China products to global markets while welcoming goods from around the world into China. The station has handled more than 10.57 million tons of cargo so far this year, a year-on-year increase of 29.7 percent.

The range of goods covers dozens of categories, including electronic products, complete vehicles and parts, machinery and food.</p>\n<p> The New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, a key logistics network connecting China&#39;s western regions to global markets, has transported over 1 million twenty-foot equivalent units of cargo so far this year. This milestone underscores the corridor&#39;s transformative role in enhancing regional connectivity and trade efficiency.</p>\n<p> Over the years, the corridor has witnessed the continuous expansion of China&#39;s opening-up in its western region. China has remained ASEAN&#39;s largest trading partner for 16 consecutive years, while ASEAN has held the position of China&#39;s largest trading partner for five straight years.</p>\n<p> In the first eight months of this year, the total trade value between China and ASEAN reached 4.93 trillion yuan ($693.2 billion), according to data from the General Administration of Customs.</p>\n<p> The trade corridor&#39;s efficiency has made it the preferred route for businesses. According to Lin Zheng, logistics manager of Chongqing Wankai New Material Technology Co Ltd, shipping through Qinzhou Port in South China&#39;s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region via the corridor reduces transport time by around 10 days compared with eastern ports, significantly enhancing satisfaction among their international clients.</p>\n<p> The company exported 93,000 metric tons of goods in the first half of 2025, a 24 percent increase year-on-year.</p>\n<p> Xie Gongyin, senior logistics manager at Huafeng Group, highlighted the corridor&#39;s economic impact. &quot;Our container exports surged from a few hundred annually in 2019 to nearly 7,000 in just six months this year. Rail transport to Qinzhou Port cuts logistics costs by 10 percent and ensures reliable service regardless of weather conditions,&quot; Xie said.</p>\n<p> As a key hub for rail-sea intermodal transport along the corridor, Qinzhou Port East Station serves as a vital gateway, sending made-in-China products to global markets while welcoming goods from around the world into China. The station has handled more than 10.57 million tons of cargo so far this year, a year-on-year increase of 29.7 percent. Notably, automobiles exported via Qinzhou Port have seen significant growth.</p>\n<p> Speaking about infrastructure upgrades, Zhao Jian, deputy station head, said the platforms have been modified to handle vehicles, allowing Chinese automobiles to be exported efficiently to markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

"description": "<div></div><p> <b>EU's plug-in hybrid sales led by brands from China</b></p>\n<p> Chinese automakers sold more cars in Europe than Renault and Audi in August, helped by booming plug-in hybrid sales. Models from BYD, Jaecoo and MG are in the category&#39;s top-10 sellers, data from JATO Dynamics showed. Tesla&#39;s Model Y remained Europe&#39;s most popular battery-electric vehicle, but its sales dropped 37 percent from August 2024 despite growing BEV sales overall, data from the research firm showed. Chinese automakers have ramped up exports of plug-in hybrid and hybrid electric vehicles to Europe and plan to build more models locally, minimizing the effect of the European Union&#39;s tariffs on Chinese-made EVs. Chinese carmakers had a combined market share of 5.5 percent in August with over 43,500 sales, up 121 percent from August 2024, the data showed. That was higher than Audi&#39;s 41,300 and Renault&#39;s 37,800. PHEV sales in 28 European countries were up 59 percent in August to almost 84,000, with PHEVs of Chinese brands up 14-fold to 11,000.</p>\n<p> <b>Formal notice of US trade tariffs issued</b></p>\n<p> The Trump administration issued a formal notice on Wednesday implementing the US trade agreement with the European Union, confirming that autos and auto parts imports will be subject to a 15 percent duty from Aug 1 and listing exemptions for certain pharmaceutical compounds, all aircraft and aircraft parts, and certain natural resources. In a Federal Register notice, the Commerce Department and the US Trade Representative&#39;s office said they have amended the US tariff schedule to implement the Framework Agreement reached with the EU in late July. It lowers President Donald Trump&#39;s tariffs to 15 percent on the vast majority of imports from the EU, including autos. The deal was subsequently modified to make the duty rate retroactive to Aug 1, but European automakers have been waiting for the formal notice.</p>\n<p> <b>FAW-Volkswagen cars set for Middle Eastern market</b></p>\n<p> Chinese-German auto joint venture FAW-Volkswagen held a ceremony on Tuesday to mark its first batch of cars for export rolling off the assembly line in Changchun, capital of Northeast China&#39;s Jilin province. The joint venture between Volkswagen Group and FAW Group said that the batch of 554 Magotan and Sagitar sedans will be shipped to the Middle East as part of its broader push into overseas markets. Chen Bin, general manager of FAW-Volkswagen, said that the company views overseas expansion as a key growth driver and it aims to become a leading exporter among joint-venture auto brands. FAW-Volkswagen said that its Jetta brand will also target overseas markets, starting with Central Asia. Founded in 1991, the joint venture now produces Audi, Volkswagen and Jetta models, and has five production bases in Changchun, Foshan in Guangdong province, Chengdu in Sichuan province, Qingdao in Shandong province, and Tianjin.</p>\n<p> <b>Plans to pause production at many Stellantis plants</b></p>\n<p> Stellantis, whose brands include Jeep, Peugeot and Fiat, plans to pause production at several European factories because of slowing sales, the company said on Wednesday. French business daily Les Echos reported the factories are in France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain. Stellantis said the move aims &quot;to adapt the pace of production to a difficult European market, while managing stocks in the most efficient manner before the end of the year&quot;.Unions are concerned that the world&#39;s fourth-largest car company will close other factories in Europe due to pressure from US tariffs and competition from China. Stellantis is not the only European automaker facing difficulties: Volkswagen lowered its forecasts for this year as it prepares to cut 35,000 jobs in Germany. Meanwhile US carmaker Ford said it would cut another 1,000 jobs at its factory in the German city of Cologne.</p>\n<p> <b>European demand fuels S. Korean auto exports</b></p>\n<p> South Korea&#39;s automotive exports grew for the third straight month due to solid demand from Europe, government data showed on Tuesday. Car shipments expanded 8.6 percent from a year earlier to $5.5 billion in August after going up in single digits in June and July, according to South Korea&#39;s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. The consecutive growth was attributable to higher demand for eco-friendly vehicles as well as robust demand from Europe that offset lower US demand, caused by the country&#39;s tariffs. Auto exports to the United States dropped 15.2 percent to $2.1 billion, but those to the European Union and other countries in Europe spiked in double figures to $792 million and $547 million each. Shipments of eco-friendly sedans soared 29.3 percent to $2.17 billion in August compared to the same month of 2024.

"description": "<div></div><p> The Nile River, eternal and majestic, carves its path through endless desert landscapes before surrendering to the Mediterranean in North Egypt. Along its fertile black banks, ancient Egyptian civilization blossomed, a land of awe and mystery where the world&#39;s first scripts were etched, some of the earliest cities rose, and belief in eternity gave shape to temples and tombs.</p>\n<p> Today, this river of history flows into a new chapter, as China and Egypt join hands to guard the legacies of their ancient civilizations.

Showcasing 788 rare artifacts, the 13-month event drew an impressive 2.78 million visitors. The exhibition presented over 400 newly unearthed artifacts, underscoring the rich fruits of recent China-Egypt joint archaeological projects.</p>\n<p> In recent years, China and Egypt have steadily deepened archaeological cooperation. In 2018, following a protocol between Egypt&#39;s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, China&#39;s first full archaeological mission in Egypt began excavations at the Montu Temple ruins in Luxor&#39;s Karnak Temple Complex.</p>\n<p> In parallel, joint efforts are underway to nominate China&#39;s Baiheliang Ancient Hydrological Inscription and Egypt&#39;s Rawda Island Nilometer as World Cultural Heritage sites of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, teams have begun digitally documenting thousands of ancient coffins in Saqqara &mdash; a sprawling necropolis of ancient Egyptian royalty &mdash; contributing to both preservation and scholarship.</p>\n<p> Yan Haiying, a professor of history at Peking University, said that China and Egypt, both heirs to ancient civilizations, stand as mirrors to one another. Comparative research between these two cultural giants not only deepens mutual understanding, but also enriches each side&#39;s sense of identity and historical self-awareness.</p>\n<p> &quot;The exhibition of ancient Egyptian civilization has sparked a cultural wave in China. In the past, Egypt-themed shows here were often canned exhibitions curated in the West and staged mainly for profit. This time, however, Shanghai Museum achieved a major breakthrough, taking the lead in curating independently and working hand in hand with Egyptian counterparts. Without the joint archaeology of China and Egypt, these newly unearthed relics could never have come to China,&quot; Yan said.</p>\n<p> She said ancient China and Egypt, both nourished by great rivers, shared striking commonalities as agrarian civilizations. Each cultivated cosmologies and philosophies rooted in the idea of harmony between heaven and humanity, and in prayers for blessings in the afterlife. Both sought a unified national order and revered the ideal of living in balance with nature.</p>\n<p> &quot;Therefore, before the relics of ancient Egypt, Chinese hearts stir with a quiet resonance: two great civilizations, though distant, recognizing one another across the span of time,&quot; Yan said.</p>\n<p> Xue Jiang, a researcher at the World Art History Institute of Shanghai International Studies University, said that ancient Egyptian and Chinese civilizations share similar characteristics, and these cultural parallels have laid a strong foundation for the two nations to deepen cooperation in preserving their rich heritage.</p>\n<p> Xue and his colleagues carried out field research in Egypt on the digitization of newly unearthed artifacts, which led to an agreement with Egyptian partners to launch a series of long-term collaborative projects. The first initiative, which focused on the investigation, cataloging, database creation and joint publication of artifacts discovered in Saqqara, was designated as a pilot, testing new methods and technologies for heritage preservation.</p>\n<p> &quot;Following our research, we will publish findings in Arabic, Chinese and English, and establish a trilingual database. Looking ahead, we plan to set up joint laboratories and apply China&#39;s most advanced archaeological technologies to help Egypt build a modern archaeological system,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> Both experts said strengthened cooperation between China and Egypt in heritage protection will not only deepen cultural exchanges, but also contribute to safeguarding the diversity of world civilizations.</p>\n<p> &quot;EvLine truncated "description": "<div></div><p> The Nile River, eternal and majestic, carves its path through endless desert landscapes before surrendering to the Mediterranean in North Egypt.

In 2018, following a protocol between Egypt&#39;s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, China&#39;s first full archaeological mission in Egypt began excavations at the Montu Temple ruins in Luxor&#39;s Karnak Temple Complex.</p>\n<p> In parallel, joint efforts are underway to nominate China&#39;s Baiheliang Ancient Hydrological Inscription and Egypt&#39;s Rawda Island Nilometer as World Cultural Heritage sites of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, teams have begun digitally documenting thousands of ancient coffins in Saqqara &mdash; a sprawling necropolis of ancient Egyptian royalty &mdash; contributing to both preservation and scholarship.</p>\n<p> Yan Haiying, a professor of history at Peking University, said that China and Egypt, both heirs to ancient civilizations, stand as mirrors to one another. Comparative research between these two cultural giants not only deepens mutual understanding, but also enriches each side&#39;s sense of identity and historical self-awareness.</p>\n<p> &quot;The exhibition of ancient Egyptian civilization has sparked a cultural wave in China. In the past, Egypt-themed shows here were often canned exhibitions curated in the West and staged mainly for profit. This time, however, Shanghai Museum achieved a major breakthrough, taking the lead in curating independently and working hand in hand with Egyptian counterparts. Without the joint archaeology of China and Egypt, these newly unearthed relics could never have come to China,&quot; Yan said.</p>\n<p> She said ancient China and Egypt, both nourished by great rivers, shared striking commonalities as agrarian civilizations. Each cultivated cosmologies and philosophies rooted in the idea of harmony between heaven and humanity, and in prayers for blessings in the afterlife. Both sought a unified national order and revered the ideal of living in balance with nature.</p>\n<p> &quot;Therefore, before the relics of ancient Egypt, Chinese hearts stir with a quiet resonance: two great civilizations, though distant, recognizing one another across the span of time,&quot; Yan said.</p>\n<p> Xue Jiang, a researcher at the World Art History Institute of Shanghai International Studies University, said that ancient Egyptian and Chinese civilizations share similar characteristics, and these cultural parallels have laid a strong foundation for the two nations to deepen cooperation in preserving their rich heritage.</p>\n<p> Xue and his colleagues carried out field research in Egypt on the digitization of newly unearthed artifacts, which led to an agreement with Egyptian partners to launch a series of long-term collaborative projects. The first initiative, which focused on the investigation, cataloging, database creation and joint publication of artifacts discovered in Saqqara, was designated as a pilot, testing new methods and technologies for heritage preservation.</p>\n<p> &quot;Following our research, we will publish findings in Arabic, Chinese and English, and establish a trilingual database. Looking ahead, we plan to set up joint laboratories and apply China&#39;s most advanced archaeological technologies to help Egypt build a modern archaeological system,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> Both experts said strengthened cooperation between China and Egypt in heritage protection will not only deepen cultural exchanges, but also contribute to safeguarding the diversity of world civilizations.</p>\n<p> &quot;EvLine truncated

"description": "<div></div><p> As the fall winds whisper through the bustling streets of Shanghai and the misty hills of Taipei, I find myself humming a tune that has long bridged the narrow waterway between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan: Tomorrow Will Be Better.</p>\n<p> This anthem of hope and resilience, penned by Taiwan composer Lo Tayu and first performed at a charity concert in Hong Kong, soared across the Taiwan Strait, uniting mainland schoolchildren singing in morning assemblies with Taiwan families gathered around the piano on Chinese New Year. Melodies such as this, and the cultural tapestry they weave stand as timeless testaments to the profound, inseparable bonds between the mainland and Taiwan.</p>\n<p> Let us begin with the simple power of a song. Consider The Olive Tree, Taiwan singer Chyi Yu&#39;s haunting ballad of longing and farewell. The song captured the ache of the diaspora and unfulfilled wanderlust, resonating on both sides of the Strait. I recall a rainy evening in Shanghai, years ago, when a street musician strummed the chords of his guitar, drawing a crowd of passers-by, some from Shanghai, some from other provinces, others with a familiar Taiwan accent. One listener, a Taiwan entrepreneur on a business trip, joined in, his voice cracking with emotion. At that very moment, the olive tree was not just a metaphor for elusive peace; it was us, reaching across the divide with shared yearning.</p>\n<p> These songs are more like cultural couriers. Taiwan chanteuse Teresa Teng&#39;s I Only Care About You became a beloved anthem across the Strait. By the 1990s, as reform opened doors, her concerts in Hong Kong drew tears from audiences who had waited decades to hear her live. Likewise, Childhood by Lo Tayu evokes the bittersweet innocence of growing up, uniting mainland millennials reminiscing about courtyard games with their Taiwan compatriots sharing tales of school life. The Promise by Taiwan singer Chou Huei, with its vow of enduring commitment, feels almost prophetic, a pledge whispered between estranged kin.</p>\n<p> Each of these songs carries the DNA of our common heritage: the poetic cadence of classical Chinese, the emotional depth of Confucian introspection and the innovative flair of 20th century fusion. They are not &quot;Taiwan residents&quot; or &quot;mainland residents&quot;; they are Chinese people, flowing like the Min River that once carried our ancestors from Fujian to Taiwan&#39;s shores.</p>\n<p> This musical intimacy extends to the silver screen and television. Who among us has not been captivated by the wuxia (martial hero fiction) epics of Hong Kong novelist Louis Cha Leung-yung, adapted into dramas like The Legend of the Condor Heroes that aired on both the CCTV of the mainland and TTV of Taiwan? These tales of chivalry and loyalty, drawn from shared literary roots, transported viewers from the bustling hutongs of old Beijing to the lantern-lit streets of Kaohsiung. Films such as Ang Lee&#39;s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a Taiwan director&#39;s global ode to wuxia aesthetics, premiered to mainland applause, proving our cinematic grammar is one and the same.</p>\n<p> Entertainment exchanges deepen this synergy. Joint variety shows, like the mainland&#39;s Happy Camp inviting Taiwan idols or Kangxi Coming of Taiwan featuring mainland comedians, spark laughter that echoes familial banter. Concerts by Jay Chou in Shanghai or Faye Wong in Taipei draw mixed crowds chanting lyrics in unison.</p>\n<p> These are lifelines, not mere spectacles. I&#39;m reminded of a young couple I met at a cultural forum in Xiamen, Fujian province, she from Nanjing, Jiangsu province, he from Hsinchu, Taiwan, bonded over binge-watching Meteor Garden, the Taiwan drama that swept the mainland in the early 2000s. Their story, born of F4&#39;s boyish charm and shared adolescent crushes, culminated in a cross-Strait marriage. Culture, in these instances, is the thread stitching hearts together, defying any attempt to unravel it.</p>\n<p> Yet as we revel in these joys, a sobering question arises: why must we defend what is so evidently ours? The push to sever cultural ties through bans on mainland media in Taiwan or restrictions on cross-Strait artists is a betrayal of our shared soul. It severs the arteries of our identity, pretending that the Minnan dialect spoken in Quanzhou, Fujian province, is alien to Tainan, Taiwan, or that Dragon Boat Festival&#39;s rhythms do not pulse identically in both realms.
