In the far west of China, where the borders of Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan converge, twilight lingers a little longer.</p>\n<p> Inside a cozy guesthouse in Tashikurgan Tajik autonomous county, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, 31-year-old Abudu Xiamier was teaching a young couple from Tangshan, a city in northern China&#39;s Hebei province, the traditional Tajik eagle dance. With steady, sweeping arm movements, he mimicked the flight of an eagle &mdash; strong, graceful, and free.</p>\n<p> For the Tajik people, eagles are not mere symbols; they are living metaphors for heroism, honesty, and strength. The eagle dance, an art form passed down through generations, was officially recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2006.</p>\n<p> Xiamier&#39;s guesthouse is more than a hostel &mdash; it is a living museum of culture and memory. A wooden clock carved in the shape of an eagle hangs in a prominent spot.

In one corner hangs a deep red rug from the 1960s &mdash; used at his grandfather&#39;s wedding, and preserved ever since.</p>\n<p> Born and raised in this high-altitude land, Xiamier once left to chase a dream. At 13, he traveled nearly 4,000 kilometers to Zhangjiakou in northern China to study dance. At 17, he was admitted to Minzu University of China &mdash; one of the nation&#39;s top universities &mdash; where he trained to become a professional performer. &quot;Many of my seniors didn&#39;t make it, but I did,&quot; he recalled with pride.</p>\n<p> After graduation in 2015, he joined the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Art Troupe, gracing stages across the region and beyond. His guesthouse walls now display over 20 performance badges from that chapter of his life &mdash; each one a relic of a dance, a tour, a city, a moment. &quot;In total, I have over 2,000 of these,&quot; he said, smiling.</p>\n<p> But in 2021, everything changed. A severe injury during a performance forced him to leave the stage. While recovering in Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang, his parents traveled more than 1,700 kilometers from Tashikurgan to care for him. &quot;They wanted me to come home,&quot; he said. And he did.</p>\n<p> With their support, he transformed his grandfather&#39;s old house into a guesthouse that blends Tajik tradition with modern hospitality.

In less than a year, it is close to becoming the leader in this sector in the country. Data from the Peruvian Chamber of Electronic Commerce (CAPECE in Spanish) show that Chile&#39;s Falabella was the most visited marketplace last year, with 22 million page views a month.</p>\n<p> Temu was second on the list with 21.9 million page visits &mdash; and it achieved that in less than one year. In third place was AliExpress with 16.3 million monthly page views.</p>\n<p> CAPECE also said that Shein, another important Chinese marketplace, had increased its presence in Peru in the last quarter of 2024.</p>\n<p> I&#39;m pretty sure the situation is similar in other countries of the Global South, with China helping stabilize cross-border e-commerce.</p>\n<p> Temu&#39;s success can be attributed to its relatively low product prices, special 24-hour services and inbuilt app games that allow you to get even bigger discounts. Temu&#39;s success is all the more surprising because it has succeeded in prompting Peruvian people to loosen their purse strings despite their inherent tendency and traditional culture to save. We Peruvians love to say, &quot;el dinero no sobra&quot; (there is no money to spare), because in general, salaries in Peru are low and a good percentage of the country&#39;s population is relatively poor.</p>\n<p> The most recent data from the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI in Spanish) show the average monthly salary in 2024 was 1,196 soles ($335) &mdash; only a few soles more than the minimum wage in Peru: 1,130 soles (about $317). The amount was increased by Dina Boluarte&#39;s government at the beginning of this year.</p>\n<p> Also, according to the INEI, 27.6 percent of Peru&#39;s population was living in poverty in 2024, with 31.8 percent (about 10.8 million people) being &quot;vulnerable&quot; to poverty, meaning they were in danger of slipping into poverty.</p>\n<p> In 2019, that is, before the COVID-19 pandemic, however, only about 20.2 percent of the Peruvian population was living in poverty. This means the pandemic increased the number of poor in the country.</p>\n<p> But what do e-commerce platforms such as Temu, AliExpress and Shein have to do with all this? These platforms offer inexpensive products, often with discounts, which the poor Peruvians can afford to buy to meet their needs. In fact, they offer a variety of products, some of which Peruvians might not have seen before.</p>\n<p> The growth of Chinese cross-border e-commerce in the Global South is difficult to estimate, but there is no doubt they are continuing to grow &mdash; and Peru is proof of that.</p>\n<p> The Chancay Port, built by China COSCO Shipping Corporation under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, was inaugurated in November last year, with Chinese President Xi Jinping attending the inauguration ceremony. The port is set to revolutionize trade in the Asia-Pacific region, especially between South America and Asia, by significantly reducing transit time and costs. For example, it has significantly reduced shipping time between Peru and Shanghai.</p>\n<p> As a matter of fact, Sunat, which is the Peruvian tax and customs authority, reported that the revenue from merchandise shipping at the Chancay Port in the first five months of 2025 was more than $777 million.

Hogg dedicated his life to supporting China&#39;s war against Japanese aggression 80 years ago.</p>\n<p> Editor&#39;s note: This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People&#39;s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War. This series of special reports by China Daily presents how and why China cherishes and keeps revisiting the wartime friendship with its foreign friends.</p>\n<p> Eighty years ago, 30-year-old British journalist and educator George Hogg actively engaged in China&#39;s fight against Japanese invaders and gave his young life when leading a transfer of Chinese students to a safer place in northwestern China&#39;s Gansu province in 1945.</p>\n<p> His sacrifice was not long before the surrender of the Japanese army and the end of World War II that year.</p>\n<p> In 1938, Hogg arrived in China and first worked as a journalist for media outlets amid the heat of the war.</p>\n<p> During President Xi Jinping&#39;s state visit to the United Kingdom in 2015, he mentioned the story of Hogg when addressing a grand welcoming banquet hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.</p>\n<p> Xi praised Hogg for earnestly devoting himself to the Chinese People&#39;s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), noting that Hogg wrote articles unveiling Japanese invaders&#39; atrocities.</p>\n<p> As allies in World War II, China and the UK saw their peoples exchanging support and sharing weal and woe, which wrote a wonderful chapter in the history of China-UK friendship, Xi said.</p>\n<p> Hogg&#39;s book, I See a New China, was well received overseas for featuring what he saw and heard about all walks of life in the nation, many being homeless.</p>\n<p> &quot;I See a New China is the story of the Chinese common man, hungry and oppressed &hellip; and yet ever patient, hardworking and ingenious,&quot; said a book review by Mark Gayn in the New York Times on July 2, 1944.</p>\n<p> Hogg&#39;s footprints covered many parts of China, including war-torn frontlines and Shaanxi province&#39;s Yan&#39;an, which was a revolutionary base of the Communist Party of China.</p>\n<p> He joined the Chinese Industrial Cooperatives and later became headmaster of the Bailie School in Shuangshipu in Shaanxi, a school focused on vocational education for young people to help build sectors such as textiles and machinery.</p>\n<p> The rising tension of war forced the school to relocate, and Hogg oversaw and escorted the relocation of the students and essential machinery to Shandan in Gansu province in 1944. They trekked on the slopes of the mountainous terrain while enduring snow and storms.</p>\n<p> Calling Hogg &quot;an old friend of the Chinese people&quot;, Jiang Jiang, vice-president of the Chinese People&#39;s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, said, &quot;Hogg&#39;s footsteps serve as a vivid testament to the friendship between the Chinese and British people, as well as a profound interpretation of a shared future for humanity.&quot;</p>\n<p> During a visit to China earlier this year, Mark Aylwin Thomas, a nephew of Hogg and author of the biography Blades of Grass: The Story of George Aylwin Hogg, tried trekking like his uncle did more than 80 years ago.</p>\n<p> &quot;We were walking freely, with all of our baggage in the cars accompanying us, but they were hauling wheelbarrows, and helping the little horses and mules pulling these huge carts with 20 tons of essential machinery.

Hogg dedicated his life to supporting China&#39;s war against Japanese aggression 80 years ago.</p>\n<p> Editor&#39;s note: This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People&#39;s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War. This series of special reports by China Daily presents how and why China cherishes and keeps revisiting the wartime friendship with its foreign friends.</p>\n<p> Eighty years ago, 30-year-old British journalist and educator George Hogg actively engaged in China&#39;s fight against Japanese invaders and gave his young life when leading a transfer of Chinese students to a safer place in northwestern China&#39;s Gansu province in 1945.</p>\n<p> His sacrifice was not long before the surrender of the Japanese army and the end of World War II that year.</p>\n<p> In 1938, Hogg arrived in China and first worked as a journalist for media outlets amid the heat of the war.</p>\n<p> During President Xi Jinping&#39;s state visit to the United Kingdom in 2015, he mentioned the story of Hogg when addressing a grand welcoming banquet hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.</p>\n<p> Xi praised Hogg for earnestly devoting himself to the Chinese People&#39;s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), noting that Hogg wrote articles unveiling Japanese invaders&#39; atrocities.</p>\n<p> As allies in World War II, China and the UK saw their peoples exchanging support and sharing weal and woe, which wrote a wonderful chapter in the history of China-UK friendship, Xi said.</p>\n<p> Hogg&#39;s book, I See a New China, was well received overseas for featuring what he saw and heard about all walks of life in the nation, many being homeless.</p>\n<p> &quot;I See a New China is the story of the Chinese common man, hungry and oppressed &hellip; and yet ever patient, hardworking and ingenious,&quot; said a book review by Mark Gayn in the New York Times on July 2, 1944.</p>\n<p> Hogg&#39;s footprints covered many parts of China, including war-torn frontlines and Shaanxi province&#39;s Yan&#39;an, which was a revolutionary base of the Communist Party of China.</p>\n<p> He joined the Chinese Industrial Cooperatives and later became headmaster of the Bailie School in Shuangshipu in Shaanxi, a school focused on vocational education for young people to help build sectors such as textiles and machinery.</p>\n<p> The rising tension of war forced the school to relocate, and Hogg oversaw and escorted the relocation of the students and essential machinery to Shandan in Gansu province in 1944. They trekked on the slopes of the mountainous terrain while enduring snow and storms.</p>\n<p> Calling Hogg &quot;an old friend of the Chinese people&quot;, Jiang Jiang, vice-president of the Chinese People&#39;s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, said, &quot;Hogg&#39;s footsteps serve as a vivid testament to the friendship between the Chinese and British people, as well as a profound interpretation of a shared future for humanity.&quot;</p>\n<p> During a visit to China earlier this year, Mark Aylwin Thomas, a nephew of Hogg and author of the biography Blades of Grass: The Story of George Aylwin Hogg, tried trekking like his uncle did more than 80 years ago.</p>\n<p> &quot;We were walking freely, with all of our baggage in the cars accompanying us, but they were hauling wheelbarrows, and helping the little horses and mules pulling these huge carts with 20 tons of essential machinery. They were pushing through very steep slopes. It was a very arduous time,&quot; he said.</p>\n<p> <b>Contribution honored</b></p>\n<p> An exhibition commemorating Hogg kicked off last week in his hometown of Harpenden, a town in Hertfordshire, an English county neighboring London.</p>\n<p> David Richard Kendall, a trustee of the Harpenden &amp; District Local History Society, said the key of such exhibitions is to educate people about what Hogg achieved, as Hogg &quot;is not well-known in England but is very well-known in China&quot;.</p>\n<p> &quot;We cover what he did as a journalist, in helping establish cooperative factories, and in educating and rescuing Chinese orphans from the Japanese invaders,&quot; Kendall said.</p>\n<p> Hogg&#39;s contribution as a volunteer &quot;is inspirational for younger people, as they can see that you can contribute to the lives of others in such a big way even though you are only in your twenties, which is what George Hogg was,&quot; he added.</p>\n<p> Speaking about why Hogg&#39;s story endures over time, Kendall said, &quot;In very, very hard circumstances, he achieved a great deal.

We will continue to advocate strongly for a resolution that supports our exporters and maintains the strength of our trading relationship with the United States,&quot; McClay added in the statement.</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, most Australian goods to the US are subject to the baseline 10 percent tariff, according to Australia&#39;s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.</p>\n<p> The Australian government has called for zero US tariffs in line with a free trade agreement between the two countries.</p>\n<p> The country avoided a tariff increase that many had feared it would face on Friday, said Ben Udy, lead economist for economic advisory Oxford Economics Australia.</p>\n<p> Australian beef producers could stand to gain, with the pillar exports in high demand in recent months due to weather limiting herd numbers in the US, he said.</p>\n<p> &quot;With Australian tariffs set to remain at 10 percent, and other exporters of high-quality beef like New Zealand and Japan facing higher tariffs, the industry should remain in high demand in the coming months,&quot; Udy said.</p>\n<p> &quot;On that basis, Australian businesses can probably afford to leave prices unchanged, forcing US consumers or retailers to bear the brunt of the tariff increase without seeing a decline in demand.&quot;</p>\n<p> <span>Contact the writers at xinxin@chinadaily.com.cn.</span></p>\n<p></p>",
