"description": "<div></div><p> The high temperatures this summer were unbearable — and so was the pressure on many parents. While students enjoy almost complete freedom during summer vacation, their parents and/or guardians are often worried to the core: Who's watching the kids? Are they becoming lazy? Will they fall behind academically? Are they glued to their smartphone/tablet screens?</p>\n<p> In their anxiety, some parents eagerly await the reopening of schools or cram courses.</p>\n<p> But after China implemented the "double reduction" policy in 2021, in order to ease students' burden by banning excessive homework and off-campus tutoring, the chances of cram courses' revival have largely disappeared. Schools are barred from holding formal classes or special tutorials during holidays, tutoring centers have been shut down, and paid private tutoring by schoolteachers is strictly forbidden. While the policy has been enforced, anxiety continues to plague parents.</p>\n<p> The policy was designed with good intentions: to reduce the pressure of academic overload on students, and make families happier.</p>\n<p> Some researchers, however, said the policy's impact has been far from uniform: while some families welcomed the move, allowing their children to relax or play some sports, some have doubled down on their children, fearing they would lose precious ground. After all, no parents want to see their children falling behind at the starting line.</p>\n<p> In such a situation, what should parents do? Giving children total freedom is not the answer nor is constantly pressuring children to keep on making achievements. To deal with the situation, we need balance, wisdom, and a long-term vision.</p>\n<p> To begin with, parents must understand the deeper reasons behind the "double reduction" policy, because it is not only about reducing homework, but also about reforming the education system, promoting holistic development, and improving the quality of teaching and after-school support. If parents understand the policy's goals, they can reduce their anxiety.</p>\n<p> They also need to recognize the changing nature of the world their children are growing up in. Today's era is marked by rapid technological advancement — artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and tools like GPT are reshaping industries. In such a world, rote learning and doing repetitive drills are not only ineffective but also harmful. They stifle curiosity and could lead to learning fatigue and emotional distress. Parents must shift their focus from their children getting high grades to helping sharpen their problem-solving skills, and increase their scientific knowledge. And the summer break is the perfect time for children to explore society and broaden horizons.</p>\n<p> At the same time, physical and emotional wellbeing should not be neglected. Studies have shown a worrying rise in issues such as myopia, obesity, poor posture, and anxiety among children. Reducing academic pressure must be accompanied by efforts to increase children's exposure to music, sports, art, and hands-on activities. Well-rounded development — moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and practical — is not a luxury, but a necessity for healthy growth.</p>\n<p> Yet parenting is not easy. Without proper guidance, some parents may feel frustrated and some may retreat entirely, while others could try to offload their responsibilities on others. Since parenting is a special skill, would-be and new parents should seek elders' advice and guidance on how to bring up children. Parents who reflect on their behavior and seek guidance tend to feel more confident. And confidence is an antidote to anxiety.</p>\n<p> Another crucial factor in parenting is the role of fathers. In many households, parenting duties are disproportionately shared by mothers. This "widowed parenting" practice leaves children without a strong male role model and mothers feeling overwhelmed. A father's steady presence, quiet authority and long-term influence help shape children's character, and build resilience in them. When both parents share the parenting duties, the family functions better and children benefit from a more balanced, secure upbringing.</p>\n<p> So parents must look inward. Parents' high expectations from their children often stem from the unfulfilled dreams of their own. As a saying goes, some birds don't fly, but instead lay eggs in the nest and hope their offspring will excel in all departments. Children sense this pressure. What children need most is not perfection, but a role model. Parents who pursue their own dreams with purpose and integrity inspire in their children admiration and respect. This strengthens the parent-child bond and makes a family more united.</p>\n<p> The views don't necessarily represent those of China Daily.</p>\n<p></p>",

"This summer is just too hot. Even electric fans can't provide enough relief," Dong said, noting that he held out all summer but finally gave in and ordered air conditioners a few days ago.</p>\n<p> This sentiment is shared across coastal cities in Northeast China and Shandong province in East China, where temperatures have climbed above 35 C, turning air conditioners from an optional comfort for northerners into an almost essential refuge from the heat.</p>\n<p> Data from Chinese e-commerce giant JD reveal a telling trend. Starting from June, overall transactions for air conditioners on the platform increased by over 60 percent year-on-year, with the number of customers placing orders surging by nearly 90 percent. In the first half of July, purchases of air conditioners in Northeast China's Jilin, Liaoning and Heilongjiang — provinces renowned for ice and snow tourism — soared by 25 times, 10 times and eight times, respectively.</p>\n<p> Notably, the number of first-time buyers in these northeastern provinces has jumped by over 800 percent year-on-year. Similar spikes are evident across North, Central, Northwest and Southwest China.</p>\n<p> At the Ouya Shopping Center in Changchun, capital of Northeast China's Jilin province, customers flocked to the home appliance section to learn about the various air conditioner models and inquire about prices.</p>\n<p> To meet the high demand, Hisense's production bases in Shandong, Zhejiang and Guangdong are operating at full capacity. Some popular air conditioner models have even sold out in physical stores in North and Northeast China.</p>\n<p> As regions that once relied on fans switch to air conditioners, the industry is responding with innovative solutions and strategic supply chains to keep up with the escalating demand.</p>\n<p> To ensure timely installations, companies have launched a "South-to-North workforce transfer," dispatching after-sales service teams to the northern regions for emergency support.</p>\n<p> The "cooling economy" is also powering air conditioner exports at a pace that has exceeded expectations. In July, temperatures soared above 40 C across much of Europe, upending the long-held belief that summers could be endured without air conditioning.</p>\n<p> Data from the General Administration of Customs show that in the first seven months of this year, China's air conditioner exports amounted to 46.81 billion yuan ($6.52 billion), up 4.9 percent year-on-year, with exports to Europe surging 28.9 percent to 12.92 billion yuan.</p>\n<p> This year, Hisense air conditioners have seen strong demand in many key overseas markets, such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.

"description": "<div></div><img src=\"https://mobile.chinadaily.com.cn/cn/resfile/2025-08-16/005/20250816_005_03_17.png\" /><p>Shoppers browse air conditioners at a shop in Chongqing.</p>\n<p> GUANGZHOU — As scorching heat waves grip the globe this summer, air conditioners are fast becoming essential household appliances, fueling a boom in sales both domestically and abroad.</p>\n<p> A local resident of Panjin in Northeast China's Liaoning province, surnamed Dong, described the summer as a relentless "sweat bath", despite it already being August. "This summer is just too hot. Even electric fans can't provide enough relief," Dong said, noting that he held out all summer but finally gave in and ordered air conditioners a few days ago.</p>\n<p> This sentiment is shared across coastal cities in Northeast China and Shandong province in East China, where temperatures have climbed above 35 C, turning air conditioners from an optional comfort for northerners into an almost essential refuge from the heat.</p>\n<p> Data from Chinese e-commerce giant JD reveal a telling trend. Starting from June, overall transactions for air conditioners on the platform increased by over 60 percent year-on-year, with the number of customers placing orders surging by nearly 90 percent. In the first half of July, purchases of air conditioners in Northeast China's Jilin, Liaoning and Heilongjiang — provinces renowned for ice and snow tourism — soared by 25 times, 10 times and eight times, respectively.</p>\n<p> Notably, the number of first-time buyers in these northeastern provinces has jumped by over 800 percent year-on-year. Similar spikes are evident across North, Central, Northwest and Southwest China.</p>\n<p> At the Ouya Shopping Center in Changchun, capital of Northeast China's Jilin province, customers flocked to the home appliance section to learn about the various air conditioner models and inquire about prices.</p>\n<p> To meet the high demand, Hisense's production bases in Shandong, Zhejiang and Guangdong are operating at full capacity. Some popular air conditioner models have even sold out in physical stores in North and Northeast China.</p>\n<p> As regions that once relied on fans switch to air conditioners, the industry is responding with innovative solutions and strategic supply chains to keep up with the escalating demand.</p>\n<p> To ensure timely installations, companies have launched a "South-to-North workforce transfer," dispatching after-sales service teams to the northern regions for emergency support.</p>\n<p> The "cooling economy" is also powering air conditioner exports at a pace that has exceeded expectations. In July, temperatures soared above 40 C across much of Europe, upending the long-held belief that summers could be endured without air conditioning.</p>\n<p> Data from the General Administration of Customs show that in the first seven months of this year, China's air conditioner exports amounted to 46.81 billion yuan ($6.52 billion), up 4.9 percent year-on-year, with exports to Europe surging 28.9 percent to 12.92 billion yuan.</p>\n<p> This year, Hisense air conditioners have seen strong demand in many key overseas markets, such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. "With our continuous optimization in local marketing, product adaptation and channel layout, Hisense's air conditioner export growth rate reached 17 percent in the first half of 2025," said Yang Xiangxi, brand director of the air conditioning division at Hisense.</p>\n<p> In the first half of this year, Midea's air conditioner sales in Europe increased by 35 percent year-on-year.

The chair of the negotiations, Ecuador's Luis Vayas Valdivieso, adjourned the session with a pledge to resume talks at an undetermined later date, drawing weak applause from exhausted delegates who had worked into the early hours.

Canada's largest carrier said that it expected to cancel 500 flights by the end of the day, ahead of the planned strike, leaving some 100,000 passengers scrambling for alternatives. The carrier's 10,000 flight attendants are gearing up to strike on Saturday over stalled contract talks on union demands for higher wages and compensation for unpaid work.

The prime minister urged the country to move toward more self-reliance, manufacture everything from fertilizers to jet engines and EV batteries, and vowed to protect farmers in the face of a trade conflict with Washington.

Fu has been in charge of design for 100 building projects worldwide since founding KFS Architects Inc Canada in 2001; and in order to promote architecture, he has spent the past decade exploring ways to merge architecture with music, dance, sculpture, painting, and other art forms — creating what he calls "a grand visual art based on architecture design".</p>\n<p> This energetic architect is still pushing boundaries to make architecture more accessible. His recent bilingual book, The Stories Behind 100 Designs, and an architecture-themed game titled Image of Space, set to launch later this year, are just the latest examples.</p>\n<p> The book, published in July in China, is jointly written by the 62-year-old architect and his son Richard. It depicts the stories behind the architecture of 100 buildings he designed since founding KFS Architects.</p>\n<p> "You could say I'm a child of my time. I happened to be working during a period of rapid economic growth in China, and I was fortunate to be involved in the design of many airport terminals and office buildings. Since 2001, I have been in charge of the design for 100 architectural projects.

Fu has been in charge of design for 100 building projects worldwide since founding KFS Architects Inc Canada in 2001; and in order to promote architecture, he has spent the past decade exploring ways to merge architecture with music, dance, sculpture, painting, and other art forms — creating what he calls "a grand visual art based on architecture design".</p>\n<p> This energetic architect is still pushing boundaries to make architecture more accessible. His recent bilingual book, The Stories Behind 100 Designs, and an architecture-themed game titled Image of Space, set to launch later this year, are just the latest examples.</p>\n<p> The book, published in July in China, is jointly written by the 62-year-old architect and his son Richard. It depicts the stories behind the architecture of 100 buildings he designed since founding KFS Architects.</p>\n<p> "You could say I'm a child of my time. I happened to be working during a period of rapid economic growth in China, and I was fortunate to be involved in the design of many airport terminals and office buildings. Since 2001, I have been in charge of the design for 100 architectural projects. If you count each project as five buildings on average, that's about 500 buildings in total," he says.</p>\n<p> Regarding Shanghai as his muse, Fu says nearly half of these projects, involving more than 200 buildings, are scattered across the city.</p>\n<p> "Shanghai is my hometown, where I was born and learned my early grounding in architecture. It was in Shanghai that I first developed my passion for the field," he says.</p>\n<p> Fu says his connection with architecture began in childhood.</p>\n<p> "I would sit by the window, counting the red bricks on the buildings opposite my home.

The three orbital travelers — mission commander Senior Colonel Chen Dong and crew members Colonel Chen Zhongrui and Colonel Wang Jie — have been aboard the station for more than three months since their arrival on April 25. They have conducted a host of assignments, including examinations and maintenance work on instruments, installations of intravehicular devices, monitoring of inner environment, and unpacking and testing new spacewalk suits, the agency said in a media statement.</p>\n<p> <b>Body of Beijing official lost in flood recovered</b></p>\n<p> The body of Yin Chunyan, Party secretary of Sunhugou village in Beijing's Huairou district, has been found following an intensive search, Beijing Radio and Television Station reported on Thursday. Rescuers discovered her remains on Wednesday afternoon near Baihewan in Baihebei village. Local authorities have set up a committee to handle the funeral arrangements, according to the report.

"I think we could see it in other industries over time," Bessent said in a television interview on Wednesday. "Right now, this is unique, but now that we have the model and the beta test, why not expand it?"</p>\n<p> Yet Bessent's optimism might prove conditional too. To begin with, that Nvidia and AMD accepted the arrangement does not mean other US companies dealing with China will follow suit.</p>\n<p> The haste with which the US Treasury chief tried to hail the genius of the move even before the two US companies have started making profit from the arrangement, stems from the US administration's acute need to counter the opposition's charge that its approval of AI chip sales to China will threaten the US' national security.</p>\n<p> The administration first highlighted that the chips had been suitably "tailored", leaving no room for security concerns. When that failed to have the desired effect, it threw light on the 15 percent cut, which Bessent emphasized "will go to pay down debt", suggesting it is for the public good.</p>\n<p> "If we could make a substantial debt" repayment, that would then allow for discussions about a program for sending money to taxpayers, he said.</p>\n<p> But China's cautious approach to the US chips has apparently caught those who were calling the sales a seamless deal unprepared. If Chinese companies don't buy the chips — and they have enough reasons not to do so — the "Nvidia deal" might only prove to be a pipe dream.</p>\n<p> When asked about China's wariness, Bessent said "sure, we can discuss that" with the Chinese. "But it also tells me that they are worried about the Nvidia chips becoming the standard in China."</p>\n<p> Which is actually not true. Chinese companies have already developed similar AI chips, though with a different structure, which Bessent admitted was what prompted the US administration to revoke the ban on sales of H20 chips to China in the first place.</p>\n<p> But Bessent should be reminded why the US' exploitative approach might not work. According to a Reuters report quoting "two people with direct knowledge of the previously unreported law enforcement tactic", US authorities have placed location-tracking devices in targeted shipments of advanced chips they feel have a high risk of being illegally diverted to China.</p>\n<p> The tracking devices, typically hidden in the packaging, will detect diversion to destinations that face US exports restrictions, the sources said.</p>\n<p> This shows the lengths to which the US is willing to go to enforce its chip exports restrictions on China, even as the US administration seeks to relax some curbs on Chinese access to advanced US semiconductors, as Reuters observed in the report.</p>\n<p> The trackers are intended to help build cases against people and companies who profit from violating US exports controls, according to the report.</p>\n<p> Location trackers are a decades-old investigative tool used by US law enforcement agencies to track products subject to exports restrictions, such as aircraft parts.

According to a bilateral agreement between Belgium and China, I can exchange my Belgian driver's license for a Chinese driver's license without taking any test.

"This summer is just too hot. Even electric fans can't provide enough relief," Dong said, noting that he held out all summer but finally gave in and ordered air conditioners a few days ago.</p>\n<p> This sentiment is shared across coastal cities in Northeast China and Shandong province in East China, where temperatures have climbed above 35 C, turning air conditioners from an optional comfort for northerners into an almost essential refuge from the heat.</p>\n<p> Data from Chinese e-commerce giant JD reveal a telling trend. Starting from June, overall transactions for air conditioners on the platform increased by over 60 percent year-on-year, with the number of customers placing orders surging by nearly 90 percent. In the first half of July, purchases of air conditioners in Northeast China's Jilin, Liaoning and Heilongjiang — provinces renowned for ice and snow tourism — soared by 25 times, 10 times and eight times, respectively.</p>\n<p> Notably, the number of first-time buyers in these northeastern provinces has jumped by over 800 percent year-on-year. Similar spikes are evident across North, Central, Northwest and Southwest China.</p>\n<p> At the Ouya Shopping Center in Changchun, capital of Northeast China's Jilin province, customers flocked to the home appliance section to learn about the various air conditioner models and inquire about prices.</p>\n<p> To meet the high demand, Hisense's production bases in Shandong, Zhejiang and Guangdong are operating at full capacity.

In July, temperatures soared above 40 C across much of Europe, upending the long-held belief that summers could be endured without air conditioning.</p>\n<p> Data from the General Administration of Customs show that in the first seven months of this year, China's air conditioner exports amounted to 46.81 billion yuan ($6.52 billion), up 4.9 percent year-on-year, with exports to Europe surging 28.9 percent to 12.92 billion yuan.</p>\n<p> This year, Hisense air conditioners have seen strong demand in many key overseas markets, such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. "With our continuous optimization in local marketing, product adaptation and channel layout, Hisense's air conditioner export growth rate reached 17 percent in the first half of 2025," said Yang Xiangxi, brand director of the air conditioning division at Hisense.</p>\n<p> In the first half of this year, Midea's air conditioner sales in Europe increased by 35 percent year-on-year. Zhu Zhou, director of the company's European air conditioner division, explained that Midea's Solstice model, featuring AI-powered Ecomaster technology, cuts unnecessary energy use by over 30 percent, and has seen strong sales in Greece, Cyprus, Spain and Italy.</p>\n<p> To tackle high installation costs in Europe, Midea developed the innovative PortaSplit air conditioner, designed for easy self-installation. This summer, Google searches for "Midea/PortaSplit" in Germany surged 20-fold year-on-year, with cumulative sales exceeding 80,000 units.</p>\n<p> China accounts for nearly 80 percent of the world's air conditioning production capacity, supplying energy-saving, efficient and low-carbon products globally.

The three orbital travelers — mission commander Senior Colonel Chen Dong and crew members Colonel Chen Zhongrui and Colonel Wang Jie — have been aboard the station for more than three months since their arrival on April 25. They have conducted a host of assignments, including examinations and maintenance work on instruments, installations of intravehicular devices, monitoring of inner environment, and unpacking and testing new spacewalk suits, the agency said in a media statement.</p>\n<p> <b>Body of Beijing official lost in flood recovered</b></p>\n<p> The body of Yin Chunyan, Party secretary of Sunhugou village in Beijing's Huairou district, has been found following an intensive search, Beijing Radio and Television Station reported on Thursday.

"I think we could see it in other industries over time," Bessent said in a television interview on Wednesday. "Right now, this is unique, but now that we have the model and the beta test, why not expand it?"</p>\n<p> Yet Bessent's optimism might prove conditional too. To begin with, that Nvidia and AMD accepted the arrangement does not mean other US companies dealing with China will follow suit.</p>\n<p> The haste with which the US Treasury chief tried to hail the genius of the move even before the two US companies have started making profit from the arrangement, stems from the US administration's acute need to counter the opposition's charge that its approval of AI chip sales to China will threaten the US' national security.</p>\n<p> The administration first highlighted that the chips had been suitably "tailored", leaving no room for security concerns. When that failed to have the desired effect, it threw light on the 15 percent cut, which Bessent emphasized "will go to pay down debt", suggesting it is for the public good.</p>\n<p> "If we could make a substantial debt" repayment, that would then allow for discussions about a program for sending money to taxpayers, he said.</p>\n<p> But China's cautious approach to the US chips has apparently caught those who were calling the sales a seamless deal unprepared. If Chinese companies don't buy the chips — and they have enough reasons not to do so — the "Nvidia deal" might only prove to be a pipe dream.</p>\n<p> When asked about China's wariness, Bessent said "sure, we can discuss that" with the Chinese. "But it also tells me that they are worried about the Nvidia chips becoming the standard in China."</p>\n<p> Which is actually not true. Chinese companies have already developed similar AI chips, though with a different structure, which Bessent admitted was what prompted the US administration to revoke the ban on sales of H20 chips to China in the first place.</p>\n<p> But Bessent should be reminded why the US' exploitative approach might not work. According to a Reuters report quoting "two people with direct knowledge of the previously unreported law enforcement tactic", US authorities have placed location-tracking devices in targeted shipments of advanced chips they feel have a high risk of being illegally diverted to China.</p>\n<p> The tracking devices, typically hidden in the packaging, will detect diversion to destinations that face US exports restrictions, the sources said.</p>\n<p> This shows the lengths to which the US is willing to go to enforce its chip exports restrictions on China, even as the US administration seeks to relax some curbs on Chinese access to advanced US semiconductors, as Reuters observed in the report.</p>\n<p> The trackers are intended to help build cases against people and companies who profit from violating US exports controls, according to the report.</p>\n<p> Location trackers are a decades-old investigative tool used by US law enforcement agencies to track products subject to exports restrictions, such as aircraft parts.

The planned network will connect users' devices to satellites, space-based infrastructure and ground platforms, forming a space-ground integrated intelligent computing architecture.</p>\n<p> Shao Zongyou, president of Geovis, said in a recent interview with China Daily that computing in space could soon move from concept to reality. "Once the space computing network is completed, it will enhance global internet access capacity and stability, supporting applications such as remote work, telemedicine, online education, emergency communications and rural digital development," Shao said.</p>\n<p> The ambition is driven in part by the rapid expansion of satellite constellations and the rising sophistication of payloads.</p>\n<p> "With tens of thousands of satellites planned in the coming years and ever-higher payload and resolution demands, massive data — and thus computing needs — will surge," Shao said.</p>\n<p> "Transmission methods like microwaves are slower than many home networks, while laser communication is too weather-dependent. The ideal is to compute in space, then send only the processed results back to earth," he added.</p>\n<p> The space information sector, which spans navigation, weather forecasting, urban planning and resource exploration, has been developing rapidly under policy support, alongside China's push into the low-altitude economy and commercial spaceflight.</p>\n<p> Over the past year, China has introduced a group of policies to stimulate low-altitude industries. These include regulations on unmanned aircraft flight management that took effect in January and a roadmap released in March for upgrading general aviation equipment through 2030.</p>\n<p> Wu Yirong, academic dean and researcher at the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: "China's aerospace information industry is integrating into all aspects of social production and everyday life at an unprecedented speed and depth. It is creating enormous economic value and social benefits."</p>\n<p> For Geovis, the deal with Sugon marks a strategic shift from its established strengths in digital earth, AI, big data and cloud integration into the more technically demanding realm of space-based computation.</p>\n<p> The two companies plan to develop high-performance, low-power high-reliability core components, build a space computing network, and integrate with China's national computing platforms. They will also explore industry standards and work to coordinate an ecosystem of partners.</p>\n<p> Shao said the aim is to upgrade the current one-way satellite "data collection service" into a two-way "computing-as-a-service" model. This would allow for in-orbit intelligent processing linked to deep ground-based applications, potentially opening new commercial opportunities in areas such as real-time Earth observation, emergency disaster response and global broadband coverage.</p>\n<p> Yet the road ahead is challenging. Shao said that deploying the same computing power in space could cost up to 1,000 times more than on the ground. Moreover, "space weather", including high-energy particles, radiation and temperature extremes, can damage electronic components and degrade performance over time.</p>\n<p> Despite these difficulties, Geovis sees space computing as a strategic imperative with long-term returns. "Three to five years may yield no returns," Shao said. "But for national capability and the future of space industries, this must be done."</p>\n<p> Deng Maicun, former secretary-general of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said China's role in the field has transformed. "In recent years, China's aerospace information sector has made a remarkable leap from a follower to a front-runner, and in some areas even a leader, becoming a new engine for the development of the digital economy."</p>\n<p> <span>chengyu@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",
