Rescued nationally protected wild birds are released during an activity in Jinhua, Zhejiang province, on Wednesday. Over 30 birds from 5 different species were released at the event.
\n
Police in China have investigated more than 7,000 criminal cases of harm to birds and other wild animals so far this year, capturing more than 11,000 suspects, the Ministry of Public Security said.
\n
Through continuous campaigns in recent years, police across the country have responded harshly to criminal activities harming wild animals, the ministry said in a statement on Friday, which marked National Ecology Day, and disclosed five typical cases harming wild birds.
\n
In one of the cases, in October 2023, police in Gaizhou, Liaoning province, captured 10 people suspected of hunting wild birds.
\n
The police confiscated from the suspects 31 wild birds under second-class State protection and more than 25,000 wild birds that are of important ecological, scientific and social value.
\n
From September to October in 2023, these people used nets and other tools to hunt wild birds in no-hunting zones or during hunting moratoriums, and purchased, transported and sold wild birds illegally, the ministry said.
\n
In another case, police in Jianli, Hubei province, captured 50 people suspected of illegal hunting, purchasing and selling of wild birds in October 2024.
\n
The police seized over 2,600 yellow-breasted buntings, which are classified as State first-class protected animals, along with a total of 28,800 protected animals like the yellow-throated bunting and black-faced bunting. Additionally, they confiscated over 40 sets of trapping equipment and more than 150 nets.
\n
Investigations by local public security authorities showed that from June to October in 2024, a suspect surnamed Zeng and another surnamed Zhang had others hunt protected wild birds in Jianli, and shipped the birds outside Hubei province to sell them, the ministry said.
\n
A third case was cracked in December 2023 by police in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, where six people suspected of hunting eagles and Chinese hwameis were captured.
\n
Despite being fully aware that eagles and Chinese hwameis are wildlife under special State protection, the suspects traveled to different places in the country to purchase, transport and sell them for personal breeding and profit without obtaining permits from relevant authorities, the ministry said.
\n
They were also said to have trained and manipulated eagles to hunt other wild birds, livestreamed Chinese hwamei fighting and organized online gambling.
\n
China has a list of species of wild animals, including birds, which it places under special State protection. Animals on the list are subject to first or second-class State protection.
\n
It also has an extensive list of terrestrial wild animals with important ecological, scientific and social value. Listed animals are also placed under strict protection.
\n
In order to protect biodiversity, the Ministry of Public Security has recently initiated a nationwide campaign aimed at combating criminal activities that harm State-protected wildlife, including birds. This campaign calls for a rigorous crackdown on such illegal activities to ensure the preservation of these species.

Delegates discussing the world's first legally binding treaty to tackle plastic pollution failed to reach consensus, diplomats said on Friday, voicing disappointment and even rage that the 10-day talks produced no deal. Delegates had been seeking a breakthrough in the deadlocked United Nations' talks in Geneva, but states pushing for an ambitious treaty said that the latest text released overnight failed to meet their expectations. 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. UN officials and some countries, including Britain, said that negotiations should resume, but others described a broken process.

Flights canceled as carrier, union clash
\n
Air Canada and its unionized flight attendants remained at odds on Friday, despite government pleas for both sides to return to bargaining to avert a strike that would upend travel for tens of thousands of passengers. 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. On Thursday night, Air Canada and the union clashed over an agreement to avoid stranding thousands of passengers abroad when the strike is expected to begin on Saturday.

Shaped like a traditional Chinese stringed instrument, and mirrored in the water to give it a circular appearance, the Music on the River project, designed by Peter Guo-hua Fu in Hengqin, Guangdong province, is a landmark in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

\n
Fu received the Shanghai Magnolia Silver Award in September 2021.
\n
For Chinese Canadian architect Peter Guo-hua Fu, his career has always revolved around two passions: designing buildings and promoting the public's understanding of them. 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".
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
"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.
\n
Regarding Shanghai as his muse, Fu says nearly half of these projects, involving more than 200 buildings, are scattered across the city.
\n
"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.
\n
Fu says his connection with architecture began in childhood.
\n
"I would sit by the window, counting the red bricks on the buildings opposite my home. I also fondly remember accompanying my father to meet his business partners near the Bund, where I admired the views both inside and outside those beautiful buildings," he recalls.
\n
It was because of these experiences that, in 1980, he became an undergraduate student at Shanghai's Tongji University, majoring in architectural design and urban planning. After working for two years at Shenzhen University in Guangdong province, he returned to Tongji University as a postgraduate student in 1986, and further pursued a doctorate in architecture in 1989.
\n
"Shanghai is truly my blessed place. I came from Shanghai, and finally I returned. I spend most of my time here, and my greatest achievements have happened here too," he says.
\n
In 2021, Fu received the Shanghai Magnolia Silver Award, given to outstanding foreigners for their significant contributions to the city's development and international exchanges.
\n
"Maybe it's because I've contributed to shaping Shanghai's skyline," he suggests.
\n
In 1990, he was granted a full scholarship by McGill University's School of Architecture, and started his studying and working in Canada. He founded KFS Architects, operating an architectural design business in both China and Canada.
\n
His contribution to architecture was equally recognized in Canada. In September 2017, McGill University permanently named its School of Architecture, with a history of more than 120 years, as the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture.
\n
"Peter Guo-hua Fu is an outstanding architect, as well as a contributor to the friendship and cooperation between China and Canada," said Peng Jingtao, then consul general of China in Montreal, during the ceremony.
\n
"He received good education in both China and Canada. His Canada-based company grew rapidly in China. Fu's success has fully demonstrated the broad prospects for cooperation in education, business and trade between China and Canada," Peng said.
\n
Asked about his future plans, Fu says he will continue his pursuits in grand visual art.
\n
"The 100 architectural stories are a reflection of my 25-year-long work and a contribution to the idea that cities have warmth. I believed that architecture can be read, and can also be expressed through theater, dance, sculpture and painting. This is the beginning of my journey into grand architecture, grand art, and grand visual storytelling," he wrote in his book's preface.
\n
In the past decade, he has integrated architecture with a variety of art forms. In 2014, 2016, and 2017, he created a series of architecture-themed musicals, including Memories of the Valley, My Albert, and Exchange Students. In 2024, his architectural sculpture Memories of the Valley: Golden Home was displayed at the Shanghai Oriental Art Center.
\n
By the end of this year, he plans to launch an architecture-themed game aimed at reaching a wider audience, especially Generation Z. The game's goal is to popularize architectural design, culture, ideas and creativity.
\n
"Honestly, I've probably never done anything else in my life. I've been dedicated to architecture and sharing it with others — and I'm truly happy to have embraced this path," he says.

Death sentence for poisoning upheld
\n
The Hunan High People's Court rejected on Thursday a graduate student's appeal and upheld his death sentence after he poisoned his roommates' food, causing the death of one. The court said that after reviewing Zhou Liren's appeal of the first-instance verdict, it found the facts established at trial to be clear, the evidence conclusive and sufficient and the sentence appropriate. On April 7, the Xiangtan Intermediate People's Court sentenced Zhou to death for intentional homicide and deprived him of his political rights for life. The Xiangtan court determined that Zhou, motivated by personal vengeance, put a highly toxic substance into a can of oatmeal shared by two of his roommates. The Hunan High People's Court has submitted Zhou's death sentence to the Supreme People's Court for approval, as required by law.
Industrial biotechnology researchers work in a laboratory affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Tianjin in January last year.

A recent breakthrough in synthetic biology in Tianjin could pave the way for new treatments for genetic diseases like sickle cell disease and congenital deafness.
\n
A study published in the science methodology journal Nature Methods on July 10 by a team of scientists from Tianjin University claimed to have synthesized a human genome fragment exceeding one million base pairs in length, and successfully transferred it into mice embryos to verify its function.
\n
According to those involved, this achievement marks a significant advancement in human genome synthesis and transfer technology.
\n
The human genome is closely linked to human life, health and disease. Since the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003, scientists have been trying to synthesize the human genome, but have long struggled with technological bottlenecks.
\n
Over 50 percent of the human genome consists of complex repetitive sequences, posing a considerable challenge to precise synthesis.
\n
"It's like a jigsaw puzzle with millions of pieces, many of which look very similar, making the assembly extremely challenging," said Yuan Yingjin, who led the team.
\n
Yuan, who is also an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the State Key Lab of Synthetic Biology, said that even if long genome fragments are synthesized, validating their genetic function is difficult without transferring them into an animal.
\n
Yuan's team has developed the SynNICE method to tackle this problem.
\n
"Using this method, we have for the first time completed the synthesis of high-repetition human DNA at the million-base-pair level and efficiently transferred this fragment intact into early mice embryos using a yeast nucleus as the transfer shuttle," Yuan said.
\n
Internationally, most research teams in human DNA synthesis are still working at the hundred-kilo-base-pair level and find it challenging to efficiently transfer DNA into mammalian embryos.
\n
This makes this latest development a significant leap forward.
\n
"For decades, scientists have enhanced their understanding of the human genome through sequencing and reading information. By adopting a bottom-up approach to synthesize genes from basic units, we can more directly reveal causal relationships among genome sequences, functions and diseases," Yuan said.
\n
"Scientists are no longer content merely to 'read' and 'edit' the book of life — they now have the ability to 'write' new chapters in it," he added.
\n
The team's research focused on a segment called AZFa on the human Y chromosome, chosen because its deletion is a cause of untreatable male infertility. Synthesizing this segment posed significant challenges, as over 69 percent of its sequence consists of repetitive elements, making it extremely prone to mismatches and recombination, which could lead to failure, Yuan explained.
\n
To overcome this challenge, the team devised a combined assembly strategy. Initially, they divided the sequence into over 200 smaller fragments, which were then assembled into 23 medium-sized components using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, also known as brewer's yeast. These components were further assembled into four larger structures, again utilizing the yeast.
\n
Finally, employing the gene-editing technique CRISPR-Cas9 and a yeast mating system, the team successfully assembled all fragments into a single, perfectly integrated artificial synthetic chromosome spanning 1.14 million base pairs.
\n
Brewer's yeast was used as it serves as a powerful biological tool equipped with a highly efficient homologous recombination system that automatically recognizes and seamlessly joins matching DNA sequences, said Yuan.
\n
The problem remained of how to safely transfer this large and fragile genome fragment into mice embryos. The team solved this by using yeast nuclei as natural, solid carriers.
\n
"If transferring DNA across species is like a moon landing mission on Earth, our use of yeast nuclei is akin to the spacecraft that safely transports astronauts between Earth and the moon, protecting and compressing the synthetic genome," said Yuan.
\n
This method involves isolating the entire yeast nucleus containing the synthetic DNA. This nucleus acts as a natural, sturdy transport capsule, providing perfect physical protection for the genetic material inside, said Liu Yue, a member of the research team.
\n
The research can shed new light on the treatment of diseases related to chromosomal anomalies. In the future, by synthesizing key gene fragments, scientists may be able to correct defects in the AZFa region causing infertility. Understanding the correlation between genomic variations and diseases can also guide treatments for conditions such as cancer.
\n
Tang Fuchou, a professor at Peking University, said the SynNICE method could potentially extend the functional lifespan of xenotransplantation with humanized pig donor organs in human bodies from two to three years to several decades, offering revolutionary hope for addressing the global organ shortage.
\n
Yuan said the substantial resources provided for basic research were crucial for the team to be able to tackle such "unclaimed territories" in science, such as repetitive sequence assembly and nuclear transfer.
\n
Interdisciplinary collaboration was essential, bringing together experts in synthetic biology, medicine, developmental biology and epigenetics, he said. Gene function validation in the research was carried out by teams from Tianjin University and Tsinghua University, with several hospitals providing real clinical cases for the study.
\n
"Humanity is still in the technology development stage for DNA synthesis. While advancing technological innovation, China remains highly attentive to biosecurity," he said.
\n
In 2017, Tianjin University led scientists from over 20 countries across four continents in drafting the "Tianjin Biosecurity Guidelines for Codes of Conduct for Scientists", which the World Health Organization has recognized as a global biosecurity ethical standard.
\n
Yuan said the ability to synthesize large genomes could spark a medical revolution, potentially curing currently incurable diseases and paving the way for new treatments.
\n
The study report was titled De novo Assembly and Delivery of Synthetic Megabase-Scale Human DNA into Mouse Early Embryos.

After Chinese authorities frowned upon security concerns over Nvidia's sales of downgraded H20 artificial intelligence semiconductors to China, the US administration has self-praised its approval of the sales as a "very unique solution" under certain conditions.
\n
Nvidia and AMD, another US tech company, have been permitted to resume the sales of downgraded AI chips to China on the condition that they share 15 percent of the revenue from sales with the US government.
\n
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Nvidia and AMD deals could serve as a model for others. "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?"
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
"If we could make a substantial debt" repayment, that would then allow for discussions about a program for sending money to taxpayers, he said.
\n
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.
\n
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."
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
The tracking devices, typically hidden in the packaging, will detect diversion to destinations that face US exports restrictions, the sources said.
\n
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.
\n
The trackers are intended to help build cases against people and companies who profit from violating US exports controls, according to the report.
\n
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. They have been used to combat the illegal diversion of semiconductors in recent years, one source said.
\n
If that is true, the US chips' journey to China will certainly become bumpier.
At least 34 people died and more than 200 were missing following sudden, heavy rain in India-controlled Kashmir, officials said on Thursday, the second such disaster in the Himalayas this month. The incident occurred in Chasoti town of Kishtwar district, a stopover point on a popular pilgrimage route. It comes a little over a week after heavy floods and mudslide engulfed an entire village in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand. India's deputy minister for science and technology, Jitendra Singh, said the floods were triggered by a cloudburst and "could result in substantial casualties".

Pyongyang says won't remove loudspeakers

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has never removed loudspeakers installed along the border with the Republic of Korea and is not willing to remove them, the Korean Central News Agency reported on Thursday, citing a statement from a senior official. Kim Yo-jong, vice-department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, in a statement, criticized the ROK for spreading misleading narratives that the DPRK has removed loudspeakers installed on the southern border area, and creating a public opinion that bilateral relations are being "restored".

China is accelerating investment in the new and fast-growing space information — or "space computing" — sector which it sees as a future trillion-yuan driver of economic growth, with leading firms joining forces to develop the futuristic technology, which aims to process massive volumes of satellite and aerial data while in orbit.
\n
Geovis Technology Co Ltd, a Chinese geospatial services provider, recently signed a framework agreement with supercomputer manufacturer Sugon to jointly build what they call an "open and inclusive space computing network". The planned network will connect users' devices to satellites, space-based infrastructure and ground platforms, forming a space-ground integrated intelligent computing architecture.
\n
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.
\n
The ambition is driven in part by the rapid expansion of satellite constellations and the rising sophistication of payloads.
\n
"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.
\n
"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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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."
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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."
\n
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."

BEIJING, June 5 (Xinhua) -- China has urged the United States to abandon its generalized and excessive use of the national security concept, and to collaborate with all parties in maintaining a rules-based multilateral trading system, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.
At a regular press conference, He Yongqian, spokesperson for the ministry, made the remarks when asked to comment on the U.S. decision to raise tariffs on imported steel, aluminium and their derivative products from 25 percent to 50 percent.
He said that such U.S. moves not only harm others and itself, but also will severely disrupt the stability of global industrial and supply chains.
The United States should abandon the zero-sum mentality, address respective concerns through equal dialogue, and jointly maintain the stability of global industrial and supply chains, He said.

Fu's architectural sculpture Memories of the Valley: Golden Home on display at the Shanghai Oriental Art Center in May last year.
\n
Fu received the Shanghai Magnolia Silver Award in September 2021.
\n
For Chinese Canadian architect Peter Guo-hua Fu, his career has always revolved around two passions: designing buildings and promoting the public's understanding of them. 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".
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
"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.
\n
Regarding Shanghai as his muse, Fu says nearly half of these projects, involving more than 200 buildings, are scattered across the city.
\n
"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.
\n
Fu says his connection with architecture began in childhood.
\n
"I would sit by the window, counting the red bricks on the buildings opposite my home. I also fondly remember accompanying my father to meet his business partners near the Bund, where I admired the views both inside and outside those beautiful buildings," he recalls.
\n
It was because of these experiences that, in 1980, he became an undergraduate student at Shanghai's Tongji University, majoring in architectural design and urban planning. After working for two years at Shenzhen University in Guangdong province, he returned to Tongji University as a postgraduate student in 1986, and further pursued a doctorate in architecture in 1989.
\n
"Shanghai is truly my blessed place. I came from Shanghai, and finally I returned. I spend most of my time here, and my greatest achievements have happened here too," he says.
\n
In 2021, Fu received the Shanghai Magnolia Silver Award, given to outstanding foreigners for their significant contributions to the city's development and international exchanges.
\n
"Maybe it's because I've contributed to shaping Shanghai's skyline," he suggests.
\n
In 1990, he was granted a full scholarship by McGill University's School of Architecture, and started his studying and working in Canada. He founded KFS Architects, operating an architectural design business in both China and Canada.
\n
His contribution to architecture was equally recognized in Canada. In September 2017, McGill University permanently named its School of Architecture, with a history of more than 120 years, as the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture.
\n
"Peter Guo-hua Fu is an outstanding architect, as well as a contributor to the friendship and cooperation between China and Canada," said Peng Jingtao, then consul general of China in Montreal, during the ceremony.
\n
"He received good education in both China and Canada. His Canada-based company grew rapidly in China. Fu's success has fully demonstrated the broad prospects for cooperation in education, business and trade between China and Canada," Peng said.
\n
Asked about his future plans, Fu says he will continue his pursuits in grand visual art.
\n
"The 100 architectural stories are a reflection of my 25-year-long work and a contribution to the idea that cities have warmth. I believed that architecture can be read, and can also be expressed through theater, dance, sculpture and painting. This is the beginning of my journey into grand architecture, grand art, and grand visual storytelling," he wrote in his book's preface.
\n
In the past decade, he has integrated architecture with a variety of art forms. In 2014, 2016, and 2017, he created a series of architecture-themed musicals, including Memories of the Valley, My Albert, and Exchange Students. In 2024, his architectural sculpture Memories of the Valley: Golden Home was displayed at the Shanghai Oriental Art Center.
\n
By the end of this year, he plans to launch an architecture-themed game aimed at reaching a wider audience, especially Generation Z. The game's goal is to popularize architectural design, culture, ideas and creativity.
\n
"Honestly, I've probably never done anything else in my life. I've been dedicated to architecture and sharing it with others — and I'm truly happy to have embraced this path," he says.

In 1990, he was granted a full scholarship by McGill University's School of Architecture, and started his studying and working in Canada. He founded KFS Architects, operating an architectural design business in both China and Canada.
\n
His contribution to architecture was equally recognized in Canada. In September 2017, McGill University permanently named its School of Architecture, with a history of more than 120 years, as the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture.
\n
"Peter Guo-hua Fu is an outstanding architect, as well as a contributor to the friendship and cooperation between China and Canada," said Peng Jingtao, then consul general of China in Montreal, during the ceremony.
\n
"He received good education in both China and Canada. His Canada-based company grew rapidly in China. Fu's success has fully demonstrated the broad prospects for cooperation in education, business and trade between China and Canada," Peng said.
\n
Asked about his future plans, Fu says he will continue his pursuits in grand visual art.
\n
"The 100 architectural stories are a reflection of my 25-year-long work and a contribution to the idea that cities have warmth. I believed that architecture can be read, and can also be expressed through theater, dance, sculpture and painting. This is the beginning of my journey into grand architecture, grand art, and grand visual storytelling," he wrote in his book's preface.
\n
In the past decade, he has integrated architecture with a variety of art forms. In 2014, 2016, and 2017, he created a series of architecture-themed musicals, including Memories of the Valley, My Albert, and Exchange Students. In 2024, his architectural sculpture Memories of the Valley: Golden Home was displayed at the Shanghai Oriental Art Center.
\n
By the end of this year, he plans to launch an architecture-themed game aimed at reaching a wider audience, especially Generation Z. The game's goal is to popularize architectural design, culture, ideas and creativity.
\n
"Honestly, I've probably never done anything else in my life. I've been dedicated to architecture and sharing it with others — and I'm truly happy to have embraced this path," he says.
大脑内部调控资源机制为 执行控制信号(Executive control signals)[3]. 每当大脑决定做一项任务时，执行控制信号会发出，对应的大脑区域被优先分配资源，而其他区域则被压制，这一状态在任务的整个阶段都被执行控制信号维持住。这类似于对计算机编程，配置好之后的人脑为任务做好了准备，并在一定时间内，处理任务的过程中能不断的优化配置，使得对该任务的处理效率不断提高。

\n \n \n 1. The United States will continue to modify the application of the additional ad valorem rate of duty on articles of China (including articles of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macao Special Administrative Region) set forth in Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025, by suspending 24 percentage points of that rate for an additional period of 90 days, starting on August 12, 2025, while retaining the remaining ad valorem rate of 10 percent on those articles pursuant to the terms of said Order.\n \n \n
\n \n \n 2. China will continue to (1) modify the application of the additional ad valorem rate of duty on articles of the United States set forth in the Announcement of the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council No. 4 of 2025, by suspending 24 percentage points of that rate for an additional period of 90 days, starting on August 12, 2025, while retaining the remaining additional ad valorem rate of 10 percent on those articles, and (2) adopt or maintain all necessary administrative measures to suspend or remove the non-tariff countermeasures taken against the United States as agreed in the Geneva Joint Statement.\n \n \n
\n \n \n This Joint Statement is based on the discussions that took place during the China-US Economic and Trade Meeting in Stockholm, which was held under the mechanism established by the Geneva Joint Statement. The representative from the Chinese side for this meeting was He Lifeng, Vice-Premier of the State Council, and the representatives from the US side were Scott Bessent, Secretary of Treasury, and Jamieson Greer, United States Trade Representative.\n \n \n
\n \n \n China will continue to suspend 24 percentage points of additional duty rate on imports from the United States within 90 days starting from 12:01 pm Tuesday, while retaining the remaining additional tariffs of 10 percent on those articles, according to an announcement from the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council.\n \n \n

\n \n \n Against the backdrop of Qinhuang Lake and the city skyline, the Chengdu World Games officially opened on Thursday night, themed \"Boundless Sports, Countless Wonders\".\n \n \n
\n \n \n The opening ceremony reached its climax when the final two torchbearers - Chinese waterskiers Xu Lu and Alu Xiaobo — glided across the water behind powerboats, carrying torches passed to them by snooker player Ding Junhui and Olympic and TWG trampoline champion Dong Dong. Xu and Alu then lit the main cauldron, designed as a water-shaped spout rising from the lake, as fireworks lit up the sky in a dazzling display.\n \n \n
\n \n \n As the largest-ever edition, the Chengdu World Games has attracted a record 6,679 total participants, including athletes and officials, from 116 countries and regions. The 3,942 athletes will compete in 256 events across 34 sports.\n \n \n
\n \n \n China has sent its largest-ever delegation: 489 members, including 321 athletes. The Chinese athletes, which has also included para-athletes for the first time, are competing in 152 events across 28 sports and making its debut in 12, including cheerleading, flying disc and powerboating.\n \n \n
\n \n \n A video of rabbits bouncing on a trampoline has gone viral on social media, garnering millions of views and shares over platforms. It started on July 27 when a TikTok user posted a video with the caption, \"Just checked the home security cam and… I think we've got guest performers out back!\"\n \n \n
\n \n \n First, as the video starts, pay close attention to two bunnies on the left-hand side of the trampoline. What initially looks like two grey rabbits sitting side-by-side, unnaturally warps into a single bunny, which bounds away.\n \n \n
\n \n \n A similar transformation occurs with two other rabbits around the five-second mark.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n To spot the subtle flaw, focus on the leftmost rabbit as it starts to run across the trampoline. The rabbit jumps up and obscures another rabbit sitting on the back edge, which has vanished by the time the first rabbit lands.\n \n \n
\n \n \n \n A fact-checking platform Snopes stated that\n \n \n \n \n the account that posted the video previously shared at least one video (archived) generated by Google's artificial video generator \"\n \n \n \n \n \n Veo\n \n \n \n \n \", as evidenced by a watermark on the footage.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Despite the subtle hints and the account's unusual behaviour, many people still found themselves falling for the clip.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n Some commenters even joked that they had thought only their parents would fall for fake AI content. One wrote: \"A few years ago I was laughing at my mother for believing AI.\" Another joked: \"I'm getting scammed when I'm older.\"\n \n \n
\n \n \n Experts say there are many reasons why this was so believable\n \n \n \n \n , such as surveillance footage providing a sense of authenticity. Before AI became popular, security footage was viewed as a reliable record, according to CBS News Confirmed.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Nobody\n \n \n , the first feature-length film adapted from the hit animated series\n \n \n Yao\n \n \n \n \n \n —\n \n \n \n \n \n Chinese Folktales\n \n \n , set to premiere in Chinese theaters on Saturday.\n \n \n
\n \n \n The film, a spin-off based of one of the eight stand-alone short stories from the\n \n \n Yao — Chinese Folktales\n \n \n anthology,\n \n \n Nobody\n \n \n follows the adventures of four grassroots monsters: a pig, a toad, a chimpanzee and a mink.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n Disguised as the Buddhist monk Xuanzang and his three disciples, they set out on a quest to obtain sacred Buddhist scrolls in hopes of achieving immortality. However, their quest soon takes an unexpected turn as they find themselves battling evil and saving innocent villagers.\n \n \n
\n \n \n The production took over two years and involved a team of more than 600 animators. It features over 1,800 animated shots and more than 2,000 background paintings, with an aesthetic inspired by traditional Chinese brushwork.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Chen Liaoyu, the film's executive producer and art director, shared that the visual style is rooted in traditional ink wash painting, enriched with vibrant colors, dynamic lighting, and a realistic sense of space to create a fantastical yet believable world for the audience.\n \n \n
\n \n \n The film appeals to young urban audiences by depicting workplace challenges. The characters face obstacles and misunderstandings while representing the experiences of ordinary urban employees and their efforts to maintain personal values and goals.\n \n \n
\n \n \n \n On the G1546 train from Nanning East to Hangzhou West, a post-00s train attendant Qin Yunhao carries a plastic bag with him every time he works during the busy summer travel season, according to China Railway's official social media account.\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n This \"mysterious plastic bag\" contains a stack of primary school exam papers for various grades. If children are being noisy, Qin approaches them and \"rewards\" them with a test paper.\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n This summer, Qin's train has been especially crowded, popular with study tour groups and families. At times, student passengers make up half the carriage. Keeping children calm is a frequent topic discussed among the crew.\n \n \n
\n \n \n \"I noticed some parents bring their kids' summer homework on board, which keeps them busy and quiet,\" Qin said. \"So I thought, why not print simple exam papers for parents who didn't bring any?\"\n \n \n
\n \n \n He added that many of his colleagues have their own tricks, like giving out coloring books, stickers, or small toys that help improve concentration. Some trains even set up \"mobile play zones\" in dining cars for young travelers.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n Qin advises parents to prepare cartoons, movies, toys, or picture books to make trips more enjoyable.\n \n \n \n

\n \n \n 二战期间，侵华日军第七三一部队在哈尔滨市平房区以“给水防疫”为名，秘密研制细菌武器，抓捕平民、抗日志士等进行活体实验，成为日本军国主义实施细菌战的铁证。\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Unit 731, a top-secret biological and chemical warfare research base, was established in Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang province, and served as the nerve center for Japanese biological warfare in China and Southeast Asia during WWII.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 图源：\n \n \n \n \n \n 新浪微博@七三一官方微博截图\n \n \n \n \n \n \n 据新华社报道，主创团队介绍，影片讲述了当地小贩王永章等人被强行抓入“特设监狱”，侵华日军以“配合健康检查与防疫研究即可换取自由”的虚伪承诺，欺骗他们遭受冻伤实验、毒气实验、活体解剖等极端折磨的故事。\n \n \n
\n \n \n According to the film's director Zhao Linshan, it tells the story of Wang Yongzhang, a local vendor, and others who were imprisoned and lured by false promises of freedom in exchange for cooperation with health checks and disease prevention research.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n Instead, they became victims of brutal medical experiments carried out by the occupying Japanese forces -- including frostbite testing, gas exposure and vivisection.\n \n \n

\n \n \n A master's graduate surnamed Yang in Zhengzhou, Henan province has taken social media by storm with his artistic take on\n \n shaobing\n \n (Chinese flatbread), amassing over 400,000 followers within just two months.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Yang, a young postgraduate from North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, started a\n \n shaobing\n \n business after quitting his previous job. Using just a utility knife, he sculpts the dough into elaborate shapes ranging from firearms like Desert Eagles to popular cartoon characters such as Labubu and Hello Kitty.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n His stall has become particularly popular among children, who jokingly refer to it as a \"flour arsenal\". Daily queues form as soon as he opens for business, with some elderly customers reportedly waiting up to two hours to buy his creations for their grandchildren.\n \n
\n \n What began as a custom request from a child has blossomed into a viral phenomenon, with each piece meticulously hand-carved using only a utility knife — a skill he attributes to the spatial imagination honed during his engineering studies.\n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n Remarkably, Yang prices each artistic flatbread at just 1 yuan ($0.14), despite their intricate designs. \"I initially sold them for 3 to 5 yuan but lowered the price to make them affordable for children,\" he explained.\n \n
\n \n \n His Douyin bio — \"Unemployed civil engineering grad selling\n \n shaobing\n \n \" — underscores the unconventional career pivot that has sparked heated debate online.\n \n \n
\n \n While many applaud his creativity and defiance of \"elite job\" stereotypes, critics question whether street vending justifies his education. Undeterred, Yang sees his venture as liberation. \"Traditional civil engineering didn't suit me,\" he shared, adding that livestreaming and content creation now fuel his entrepreneurial ambitions. His story resonates with a growing cohort of Chinese youth redefining success beyond conventional career tracks.\n \n
\n \n \n \n With a performance inspired by the Terracotta Warriors, the Chinese artistic swimming team concluded their World\n \n \n \n \n Aquatics\n \n \n \n \n Championships campaign in Singapore on July 25, as they secured a gold in the team acrobatic event, bringing their total medal tally to four golds and three silvers in the tournament with gold medals in all three team events.\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n Wearing golden headbands symbolizing the legendary Monkey King, China's artistic swimmers brought the myth to life in a powerful Wukong-inspired routine to win gold in the team technical event at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships last Tuesday. Their performance, based on the popular Chinese video game\n \n Black Myth: Wukong\n \n , earned China 307.8001 points.\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n Performing a routine titled \"Soul of the Terracotta Army\", the Chinese squad topped the preliminary round and carried that momentum into the team acrobatic final on Friday, where they scored 229.0186 points to secure the gold.\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n Dead to Rights\n \n \n \n \n \n ,\n \n \n a film set during the Nanjing Massacre,\n \n \n \n \n \n opened in domestic theaters on July 25\n \n \n \n \n \n .\n \n \n \n \n Marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), the film revisits one of the most barbaric episodes of World War II through the perspective of a group of unsung heroes.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Set against the Nanjing Massacre, the film follows a group of civilians sheltering in a photo studio.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n Forced to develop a Japanese military photographer's film to survive, they accidentally uncover photographic proof of the atrocities. Initially focused on mere survival, they ultimately risk everything to preserve the evidence and expose the war crimes.\n \n \n
\n \n \n The most powerful core of this film lies in its tearing open the veil of history, allowing me an outsider to viscerally empathize wth the unimaginable suffering endured by the Chinese nation during the catastraphe. It doesn't shy away from the darkness, nor does it gloss over the pain. It confronts the nation's scars with immense artistic courage.\n \n \n
\n \n \n China's 2025 summer box office, including presales, exceeded 5 billion yuan on Sunday. Daily box office takings have remained above 100 million yuan for 10 consecutive days. On Saturday alone, ticket sales hit 293 million yuan, setting a new single-day high for this year's summer movie season.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Leading the charts is Universal's \"Jurassic World Rebirth,\" with 541 million yuan in ticket sales, followed by Chinese comedy \"The Lychee Road,\" which has grossed 468 million yuan. Other top performers include Japanese animated movie \"Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback,\" Peter Chan's crime drama \"She's Got No Name\" and the sports film \"F1 The Movie\" starring Brad Pitt.\n \n \n
\n \n \n \n On Tuesday, the United States announced a decision to withdraw from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) by the end of December 2026. This marks the third time Washington has exited UNESCO.\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n According to a statement by the US State Department, the withdrawal was prompted by what Washington perceived as UNESCO's tendency to \"advance divisive social and cultural causes,\" particularly regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n The US exit will take effect at the end of December 2026.\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n Audrey Azoulay, director-general of UNESCO expressed regret over the US decision, calling it inconsistent with the fundamental principles of multilateralism.\n \n \n
\n \n \n UNESCO said the US exit was regrettable but came as no surprise. \"However regrettable, this announcement was expected, and UNESCO has prepared for it,\" Azoulay said in a statement.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n \"We have implemented major structural reforms and diversified our funding sources. Thanks to the efforts made by the Organization since 2018, the decline in US financial contributions has been effectively offset,\" she stated.\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n Earlier Tuesday afternoon, French President Emmanuel Macron expressed on his X account France's \"unwavering support\" for UNESCO. He called UNESCO a \"universal guardian of science, the ocean, education, culture, and world heritage.\"\n \n \n
\n \n \n \n France, as the host country and a founding member of UNESCO, regrets the US decision to quit UNESCO, the spokesperson of the country's foreign ministry said on Tuesday.\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n S\n \n \n \n ince Donald Trump's second term in office started early this year, the Trump administration had announced its withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate change, the World Health Organization, and the United Nations Human Rights Council.\n \n \n

\n \n \n China has made history by winning the gold for the first time in the 28-year history of the tournament's Humanoid AdultSize Soccer Competition.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Chinese teams showed dominant form from the group stage onward. Hephaestus, powered by the domestically developed T1 humanoid robots, overwhelmed opponents with multiple clean-sheet victories, including 16:0, 9:0, and 12:0 triumphs over UT Austin Villa from the United States.\n \n \n
\n \n \n \n One highlight of the tournament came during the group stage, when a Hephaestus robot scored the tournament's \"best goal\"\n \n \n \n \n \n .\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n In a moment reminiscent of Dutch footballer Robin van Persie's iconic diving header, the robot read the ball's trajectory at the goalmouth and launched forward to head the ball into the net. The dramatic goal was dubbed the \"robot Van Persie dive.\"\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n Other Chinese teams also delivered impressive results, with Tsinghua's TH-MOS team taking second place in the KidSize category. In the KidSize soccer competition final, both the German champions Boosted HTWK and China's TH-MOS team relied on the K1 robot.\n \n \n
\n \n \n \n Notably, both Chinese and international teams, including those from Germany and the US, chose to use China-made humanoid robots such as the T1 and K1, underscoring the growing global influence of Chinese robotics.\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n Founded in 1997, RoboCup is the world's leading robotics competition, known for its scale, prestige, and technological rigor. Among its many leagues, the Humanoid category attracts the most attention.\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n \n The ultimate goal of the RoboCup Initiative is stated as,\"By the middle of the 21st century, a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players shall win a soccer game, complying with the official rules of FIFA, against the winner of the most recent World Cup,\"\n \n \n according to its official website.\n \n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n Several of the teams that participated in RoboCup 2025 are also expected to compete at the upcoming first World Humanoid Sports Games to be held in August in Beijing, where the world's first 5v5 AI robotic soccer will be introduced.\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n Health authorities said all affected children received treatment, with nearly all now discharged after their blood lead levels dropped by around 40 percent on average. The government is covering medical costs and has set up a monitoring program to track the children's recovery.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Seventeen officials have been placed under disciplinary investigation, and 10 others, including senior health and education officials in Tianshui city and its Maiji district, Gansu province, face formal accountability procedures, according to a report released on Sunday.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n Authorities said the kindergarten was operating without a license and that local education and market supervision departments failed to carry out oversight. Some officials are suspected of accepting bribes and favors from the kindergarten's investor. Disciplinary and criminal investigations have been launched against officials, including the head of the provincial health commission and the mayor of Tianshui.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Authorities found that the kindergarten's management had instructed staff to add brightly colored but inedible industrial pigments to foods such as corn rolls and jujube cakes (steamed buns), to make them look more appealing to children and parents.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n Two samples from Peixin — a tricolor red date sponge cake served at breakfast and a corn roll with sausage served at dinner — failed to meet food safety standards. The samples contained lead levels of 1,052 milligrams per kilogram and 1,340 milligrams per kilogram, respectively, far above the national limit of 0.5 milligram per kilogram.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n On Sunday, officials revealed in a report that six had been arrested on suspicion of producing toxic and harmful food.\n \n \n
\n \n \n AI hallucination occurs when an AI model generates false or illogical information that is not based on real data or events, but is presented as fact. Hallucinations can lead to significant consequences when people use AI for tasks with the potential for high-stakes consequences.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Launched by Fudan University and sponsored by United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in China, the Youth Innovation Competition on Global Governance (YICGG) is an international competition that encourages youths from around the world to develop innovative global governance solutions.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Apart from having the required curriculum, Science and Technology Branch of\n \n \n \n \n Beijing Academy\n \n \n \n \n focus more on teaching science and technology. The school is guided jointly by the\n \n \n \n \n Beijing Academy\n \n \n \n \n Educational Group and five nearby universities.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n With the five universities giving students access to their labs and arranging for lectures by their professors, the school aims to rear talents interested in science and technology.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Faced with the challenges of the economic globalization, where cross-cultural dialogue has an important place, education is booming increasingly globalized.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n Ever since the concept of Education for International Understanding was proposed by UNESCO, this dialogue has been highlighted by the government.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n The Ministry of Education of China has repeatedly pointed out that the development of core competencies for Chinese students is required to be in line with the world education reform, and strengthens the international competitiveness of China's education.\n \n \n
\n \n \n In a small workshop in Wuhan, Hubei province, traditional Chinese elements like dragons and cranes aren't just painted on walls or silk — they're coming alive on sneakers.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n Behind these creations is Wang Qing, a 26-year-old postgraduate student at the School of Arts and Design, Wuhan University of Technology.\n \n \n
\n \n \n One of his most popular collections was inspired by the animated film\n \n \n White Snake\n \n \n (2019), a modern retelling of a classic Chinese legend. The design features a dragon that coils gently around the shoe's emblem, blending into a misty mountain background. A silhouette emerges from the clouds on the heel, adding a scent of romantic mystique.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Beyond folklore, Wang's work incorporates regional heritage. For example, his \"Waking Lion\" series pays homage to the lion dance traditions.\n \n \n
\n \n \n \"I loved reciting Chinese poems when I was little and was deeply fascinated by the artistic conception brought by the verses,\" he said. \"Even before the term 'China chic' existed, traditional culture was already influencing my imagination.\"\n \n \n
\n \n \n In a spontaneous moment in 2022, he decided to repair his torn skate shoes by drawing Chinese-style cartoon patterns on them. That was when the idea of wearable culture took form.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Wang explained that government-backed innovation programs have played a crucial role in helping their team expand.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n Through Hubei's entrepreneurship fund for university students, his team secured 50,000 yuan in initial funding. Later, by participating in a youth innovation competition, they received an additional 100,000 yuan and established valuable connections with investors and policy advisers.\n \n \n
\n \n \n But for Wang, it's not just about decoration. \"It's never as easy as simply copying a symbol and printing it on a shoe,\" he said. \"We consider the shoe's silhouette, its structure, and how each design element complements the form.\"\n \n \n
\n \n \n His academic background in landscape architecture gives him a unique edge. Wang believes that core design principles — structure, proportion, and harmony — are transferable across disciplines. \"When I design a 50-square-meter courtyard, I think about plant arrangement, paving patterns, water features — it's all about composition,\" he said. \"Sneakers may be a smaller canvas, but the design logic is similar.\"\n \n \n
\n \n \n To maintain high standards, Wang and his team traveled to major footwear material markets in Houjie, Guangdong, and Quanzhou, Fujian, to source better materials. One result: their shoes are 30 percent more scratch-resistant than comparable handcrafted products.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n When facing color fading issues, Wang consulted a doctoral researcher in materials science at his university and developed a pigment formula that preserves color saturation while enhancing wear resistance.\n \n \n
\n \n \n The team also established its own design database and incorporated an AI color-matching system. \"This allows us to complete color matching in approximately 10 seconds,\" Wang noted. \"Designers then build on this foundation by adding elements, significantly boosting design efficiency.\"\n \n \n
\n \n \n Looking ahead, Wang hopes to launch his own China chic fashion brand, expanding into clothing, accessories, and global markets. \"Being Chinese and growing up with these traditions has deeply influenced me,\" he said.\n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n \n \"We want to create something that truly belongs to us and reflects our identity. Our dream is to make Chinese brands more high-end and infuse international brands with the spirit of Chinese culture.\"\n \n \n
\n \n \n \n Recently, an influencer launched a creative writing challenge where participants were randomly assigned past national college entrance exam essay prompts. A construction worker was assigned\n \n \n \n \n \"My Mother\"—the 1957 gaokao composition topic.\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n He wrote:\n \n \n \n \n \"The grass on my mother's grave turns green\n \n \n \n \n ,\n \n \n \n \n then yellow\n \n \n \n \n ;\n \n \n \n \n yellow\n \n \n \n \n ,\n \n \n \n \n then green—just like my longing. Year after year, it never fades. I'\n \n \n \n \n ve become a father and then a grandfather, yet it's been over thirty years since I last called out '\n \n \n \n \n Mom'.\n \n \n \n \n I keep thinking, when the day comes that I can no longer haul cement, I'\n \n \n \n \n ll return to the village and lie down beside that mound of earth. Maybe then, if I call for my mother again, she'll hear me.\"\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n \n When asked about the essay, the worker\n \n \n \n \n ,\n \n \n \n \n surnamed An,\n \n \n \n \n said: \"\n \n \n \n \n This composition reflects\n \n \n \n \n my family's truth—it'\n \n \n \n \n s my own\n \n \n \n \n lived experience.\"\n \n \n \n \n He recalled how his mother cared for him and his seven siblings. \"\n \n \n \n \n The prompt '\n \n \n \n \n My Mother'\n \n \n \n \n felt deeply moving,\"\n \n \n \n \n he explained. \"\n \n \n \n \n That's what compelled me to pour my heart into this writing.\"\n \n \n \n
\n \n \n Known to some Westerners as \"century eggs\" or \"thousand-year-old eggs\" for their dark, translucent appearance and bold flavor, these traditional Chinese delicacies have long sparked mixed reactions abroad.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Once dubbed one of the world's most disgusting foods, China's preserved eggs are now flying off the shelves at Costco stores across the United States.\n \n \n
\n \n \n The buzz began on Xiaohongshu, where Chinese shoppers in the US posted photos of the eggs on display. The posts quickly drew a flood of comments asking for store locations and ZIP codes.\n \n \n
\n \n \n Then came a viral boost. US food influencer \"The Sushi Guy\" reviewed the eggs on TikTok and YouTube, drawing more than 660,000 views. Food site Tasting Table followed up with a feature exploring the eggs' cultural roots and distinctive taste.\n \n \n
\n \n \n On TikTok, adventurous eaters filmed their reactions: some recoiled at the first bite, then returned for more.\n \n \n

\n \n This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War.\n \n \n \n \n
\n
\n \n Today, July 7, is etched in history with the Lugou Bridge Incident (1937) in Beijing, when Japanese troops attacked Lugou Bridge (Marco Polo Bridge) and the defending Chinese troops rose to fight the enemy. The event triggered China's full-scale war of resistance against Japanese aggression, also a main Eastern theater of the World Anti-Fascist War.\n \n
\n \n \n Japan has never fully reflected on its aggressive acts and war crimes before and during World War II. Right-wing forces have repeatedly downplayed or glorified this history, promoting revisionist narratives that blur public understanding of World War II.\n \n \n
Editor's note: This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War. This series of special reports by China Daily presents how and why China cherishes and keeps revisiting the wartime friendship with its foreign friends.
\n
Denise Wynne, a 76-year-old woman from Britain, has long been advocating for raising public awareness of a Japanese wartime atrocity and the Chinese people's rescue of prisoners of war, including her father, from a sinking ship in 1942.
\n
In October 1942, the Lisbon Maru, a cargo vessel requisitioned by the Japanese army to transfer more than 1,800 British POWs from Hong Kong to Japan, was torpedoed by US forces off Dongji Island of Zhoushan in Zhejiang province.
\n
As the ship started to sink, Japanese soldiers tried to prevent their prisoners from escaping before abandoning the ship. Over 800 British POWs drowned or were shot dead by the Japanese troops, and Chinese fishermen risked their lives and saved 384 British POWs.
\n
Wynne's father, Dennis Morley, passed away in 2021, and she noted that he was the last survivor of the Lisbon Maru. "Before he died, he told me to honor the Dongji fishermen on his behalf," Wynne said.
\n
"My father was very emotional to think of all the POWs being trapped below deck and the ship was sinking. Then to finally escape and jump into the sea to be shot by the Japanese!" she wrote in a letter sent to the production team of Dongji Rescue, a movie that recalls the Lisbon Maru incident and is now being shown in China.
\n
"My dad remembered the Chinese fishermen as being angels coming along to rescue them all out of the hell, because he said it really was a hell," she said.
\n
During his state visit to Britain in 2015, President Xi Jinping took the Chinese fishermen's rescue of POWs on the Lisbon Maru as an example, stressing that the friendship forged by the Chinese and British people during the war will never fade and has become a valuable asset in bilateral ties.
\n
In 2022, Wynne wrote to Xi to express her support for building on the friendship between generations of British and Chinese people.
\n
In her letter, Wynne suggested a monument be built in Zhoushan to allow people to pay tribute to the brave Chinese fishermen and the British soldiers who were entombed in the sea beneath.
\n
Xi, in a reply letter, encouraged family members of the survivors to make efforts to further advance the bilateral friendship. He told Wynne that he had instructed relevant departments to look into her proposal of building a monument in Zhoushan for the Lisbon Maru rescue.
\n
In May, Wynne traveled to China to attend the unveiling ceremony of the Memorial for Dongji Fishermen's Rescue of British Prisoners of War in Zhoushan.
\n
When recalling the moment she opened and read the reply letter from Xi, Wynne said she was moved to tears, and she expressed her appreciation for Xi's honoring of his words. "I'm very honored that he replied to me. President Xi said he would look into it, and … he has done it," she said.
\n
As a witness of this special bond forged between the two peoples because of the wartime rescue, Zheng Zeguang, Chinese ambassador to the UK, met Wynne at her home in 2022 to deliver Xi's reply letter to her.
\n
Zheng also attended events related to the Lisbon Maru, including a Spring Festival reception hosted by the Chinese embassy in the UK for the families of Lisbon Maru survivors in February and the premiere of the documentary The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru in March in the UK.
\n
When attending and addressing a reception held last month by the embassy to celebrate the 98th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Zheng said "it should never be forgotten that China and the UK were allies and fought shoulder to shoulder during the war", and the peoples of China and the UK "made enormous contributions to the global victory against fascism".
\n
He revisited the story of the Lisbon Maru rescue in 1942, noting that in the same year, the Chinese Expeditionary Force successfully rescued British troops besieged by the Japanese army in Myanmar.
\n
"We should remember history, honor those fallen heroes, cherish peace and strive for a better future, and this is why China holds a series of important commemorative events to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War," he said.
\n
As this year also marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, Zheng said countries must "resolutely defend the outcomes of the victory in World War II, firmly uphold true multilateralism and steadfastly safeguard world peace, stability, fairness and justice".
\n
Anthony Jones, chairman of the Lisbon Maru Memorial Association, is the grandson of Thomas Theodore Jones, a Lisbon Maru survivor and a UK Royal Navy telegraphist. He also attended the unveiling ceremony of the memorial in Zhoushan in May.
\n
"Amid the horror of that day, a light of humanity shone through — the bravery of local Chinese fishermen, who risked their lives to save strangers. They went out in small boats, pulling men from the water, showing courage and compassion that will never be forgotten," he said at the ceremony.
\n
He voiced appreciation for all those who have a connection to the tragedy — descendants, researchers, supporters, filmmakers and "those who have worked tirelessly to ensure this history is not forgotten".
\n
"Your dedication helps keep the memory of the Lisbon Maru alive, and your efforts are woven into the legacy we honor here today," he said.
\n
Such lasting efforts made by the Chinese and British people in preserving evidence of the wartime atrocity and revisiting the friendship forged through rescue are now making a difference.
\n
Following its UK premiere in March, the documentary The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru hit screens at cinemas in Britain on Friday.
\n
A review of the documentary by Phil Hoad in The Guardian said the British wartime tragedy has been "told with potent empathy", and the documentary "excavates the emotional wreckage on all sides".
\n
Hoad mentioned the prevalent silence practiced by the tragedy's survivors, "including the Japanese civilian captain later convicted for his role", and that their descendants "knew nothing about the ordeal" before the facts were brought to light.
\n
British actor Kevin Lee starred in the movie Dongji Rescue, and his character is based on a real British high-ranking POW.
\n
"When I first read the script, I was shocked," Lee told Variety in a recent interview.
\n
"I'd never heard of the Lisbon Maru incident, yet here was this deeply moving story of ordinary Chinese fishermen risking everything to save British POWs. As a Brit who's lived in China for over a decade, it hit me on many levels," he said.
\n
Lee has played antagonists in some Chinese films. "But Dongji Rescue let me step into truth and empathy," he said.

Additional policy stimulus may be needed later this year to reinforce the growth momentum of the Chinese economy and support employment, as July data pointed to renewed downward pressures, economists and analysts said.
\n
While extreme weather weighed on overall economic activity last month, the robust expansion in high-end manufacturing, resilient export growth and improving capital market sentiment have still pointed to a steady outlook for high-quality development, they added.
\n
Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst at Golden Credit Rating International, said economic momentum remained stable but eased in July as domestic consumption and investment slowed amid high temperatures and flooding in some regions, the fading impact of consumption subsidies and the continuous adjustment in the property market.
\n
"Looking ahead, to maintain the stability of the macroeconomy and the job market, major new stimulus measures might be introduced around the start of the fourth quarter," he said.
\n
Possible measures could include stronger fiscal support, interest rate cuts and more forceful steps to stabilize the property market, Wang added.
\n
The People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, pledged on Friday in its second-quarter monetary policy report that it will strive for better implementation of the moderately loose monetary policy, maintain abundant liquidity, reduce the cost of bank liabilities and promote a decline in overall social financing costs.
\n
Figures released on Friday by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that the Chinese economy maintained its overall stability but showed signs of softening, with industrial output up by 5.7 percent year-on-year in July, down from 6.8 percent in June.
\n
Retail sales, a key measurement of consumer spending, grew by 3.7 percent year-on-year in July versus a 4.8 percent rise in June, while the surveyed urban unemployment rate came in at 5.2 percent in July, up from 5 percent a month earlier, the NBS said.
\n
"The foundation for economic recovery and improvement still needs to be consolidated," said Fu Linghui, spokesman and chief economist at the NBS.
\n
Authorities should maintain policy continuity and stability, and focus on stabilizing employment, businesses, markets and expectations to promote steady and healthy economic development, Fu said.
\n
Despite the headwinds, Fu said that China's economy has maintained a trajectory of stability with improvement, with innovation driving the growth of new economic dynamics and export resilience expected to be sustained by a string of favorable conditions in the second half.
\n
The NBS data showed that the expansion of equipment manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing remained strong at 8.4 percent and 9.3 percent year-on-year in July, respectively.
\n
China's goods exports expanded by 8 percent year-on-year in renminbi terms last month, up from 7.2 percent in June, the bureau said, with diversified export destinations, upgraded industrial capacity and policies to stabilize trade offsetting the impact of persistent trade protectionism.
\n
Resilience is also evident in the robust performance of China's A-share market. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index went up by 0.83 percent to close at 3,696.77 points on Friday, rising by 3.46 percent so far this month.
\n
Wen Bin, chief economist at China Minsheng Bank, said he expects macroeconomic policies to continue bolstering the economy in the second half, with a focus on advancing key infrastructure investment projects and improving people's living standards, as reflected by the recent launch of subsidies for consumer loans and childcare.
\n
Wen added that despite disruptions to economic activity in July, expansion in industrial production and services activity in the January-July period remained above 5 percent, keeping the full-year GDP growth target of around 5 percent within reach under sustained policy support.

Additional policy stimulus may be needed later this year to reinforce the growth momentum of the Chinese economy and support employment, as July data pointed to renewed downward pressures, economists and analysts said.
\n
While extreme weather weighed on overall economic activity last month, the robust expansion in high-end manufacturing, resilient export growth and improving capital market sentiment have still pointed to a steady outlook for high-quality development, they added.
\n
Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst at Golden Credit Rating International, said economic momentum remained stable but eased in July as domestic consumption and investment slowed amid high temperatures and flooding in some regions, the fading impact of consumption subsidies and the continuous adjustment in the property market.
\n
"Looking ahead, to maintain the stability of the macroeconomy and the job market, major new stimulus measures might be introduced around the start of the fourth quarter," he said.
\n
Possible measures could include stronger fiscal support, interest rate cuts and more forceful steps to stabilize the property market, Wang added.
\n
The People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, pledged on Friday in its second-quarter monetary policy report that it will strive for better implementation of the moderately loose monetary policy, maintain abundant liquidity, reduce the cost of bank liabilities and promote a decline in overall social financing costs.
\n
Figures released on Friday by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that the Chinese economy maintained its overall stability but showed signs of softening, with industrial output up by 5.7 percent year-on-year in July, down from 6.8 percent in June.
\n
Retail sales, a key measurement of consumer spending, grew by 3.7 percent year-on-year in July versus a 4.8 percent rise in June, while the surveyed urban unemployment rate came in at 5.2 percent in July, up from 5 percent a month earlier, the NBS said.
\n
"The foundation for economic recovery and improvement still needs to be consolidated," said Fu Linghui, spokesman and chief economist at the NBS.

A foreigner participating in the 12th World Games experiences tea art in Chengdu, Sichuan province.
\n
As the 12th World Games in Chengdu, Sichuan province, approach their closing ceremony on Sunday, athletes will take home more than just medals and glory — they will also carry indelible memories of China's profound culture.
\n
Cecilia Jaques, an athlete from the Brazilian women's fistball team, has paid frequent visits with her teammates to a cultural bazaar in the World Games Village, which exudes the charm of ancient traditions.
\n
There, they can immerse themselves in diverse cultural activities, such as learning Chinese calligraphy and painting, wearing traditional Chinese attire, practicing tai chi or Baduanjin exercises, a traditional Chinese form of aerobics, and experiencing traditional Chinese medical massage.
\n
The interactive workshops also allow them to learn Chinese intangible cultural heritage crafts, including bamboo weaving, embroidery, shadow puppetry and paper-cutting.
\n
"There are so many different activities every day, and we enjoyed them," Jaques said, adding that her favorite was a traditional woodblock printing workshop, where she learned to press intricate designs onto paper.
\n
"I didn't even know the exact name of the craft, but it was so nice," she said.
\n
Su Bo, deputy director of the games executive committee's World Games Village department, said that an average of over 900 people have participated in the interactive cultural activities every day.
\n
"All the handmade creations at the interactive workshops can be taken home as special gifts that carry the wonderful memories of the games," he said.
\n
The organizers also set up a "Chinese Bridge" language zone in the games village, which attracts over 600 daily visitors seeking to learn to speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, sing Chinese songs, cook Chinese dishes, and get a Chinese name, Su said.
\n
Meanwhile, the night cultural performances, which started on Aug 8, have seen the total participation of over 3,000 people as of Thursday, he added.
\n
Outside the games village, athletes and delegation officials have been discovering more cultural offerings in the city's urban area.
\n
Marie Stephan, a squash athlete from France, went on a city tour during competition breaks and was amazed by the stunning night views of Chengdu.
\n
"We went through an ancient corridor bridge and walked a bit downtown. It was really a nice experience," she said, adding that she also loves the local cuisine.
\n
Stephan said she is super happy that the games are being held in China this year. "We didn't have much time to do all the tourist activities, but I definitely think I'll come back to China for a tour of the whole country," she said.
\n
Wang Feng, head of the games executive committee's urban services department, said they offer seven urban cultural experience routes covering a total of 17 spots, with over 2,200 athletes and guests having registered to participate.
\n
The most popular route has turned out to be the one to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, where more than 200 giant pandas live and visitors get to see them up close, Wang said.
\n
Another popular option is the nighttime tour route, which includes a bus ride to enjoy urban night views and taste hot pot, a cruise on the Jinjiang River for light shows, and finally a Sichuan opera face-changing performance at Wangjianglou Park, he added.
\n
Gao Yiqiang, deputy director of the games executive committee's publicity department (opening and closing ceremonies department), said that the World Games Plaza in Chengdu Eastern New Area has also been providing diverse cultural offerings since Aug 8.
\n
From artistic performances and sports demonstrations to technology exhibitions and hands-on experience of intangible cultural heritage crafts, the cultural activities have attracted a total of over 13,000 participants, Gao said.
\n
"By hosting all these cultural activities, we aim to facilitate cross-cultural exchanges and foster friendship among participants worldwide," he added.

China conducted on Friday afternoon a key test on the propulsion system to be used in a new type of carrier rocket, which will be crucial in realizing China's plan to send astronauts to the moon.
\n
During the ignition test at around 3 pm at the Wenchang Space Launch Center, a coastal spaceport in Hainan province, seven powerful engines, packed inside a prototype first stage of the Long March 10 rocket, were ignited, completing several tasks and generating a great deal of data, according to the China Manned Space Agency.
\n
The agency said in a statement that the engines generated a massive combined thrust of nearly 1,000 metric tons during the event, setting a new domestic record for the most powerful engine ignition test.
\n
Zhu Pingping, an engineer from China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp who took part in the test, said that in addition to the engines, the performance of heat-resistant structures and coating on the first stage was also checked and recorded during the test.
\n
According to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, the Long March 10 is a brand-new type of launch vehicle and will be tasked with launching the country's new-generation crewed spacecraft and the lunar landing module.
\n
The rocket is expected to be ready for its maiden flight around 2027.
\n
The moon-mission rocket will consist of a core booster and several side boosters and will be 92.5 meters tall, which is roughly the height of a 32-story residential building, and five meters wide. The gigantic vehicle will have a liftoff weight of 2,189 metric tons and a thrust of 2,678 tons.
\n
It will be capable of transporting spacecraft weighing at least 27 tons to an Earth-moon transfer trajectory, according to designers.
\n
The rocket will also have a variant, the Long March 10A, which will not have side boosters. The Long March 10A, which will have a reusable first stage, will be 67 meters tall and have a liftoff weight of about 740 tons.
\n
With a carrying capacity of 14 tons, it will be used to transport astronauts or cargoes to the Tiangong space station in low-Earth orbit, according to designers.
\n
China's roadmap for its first manned lunar expedition involves two Long March 10 launches from the Wenchang spaceport to transport a landing module and a manned spacecraft into lunar orbit.
\n
After reaching their preset orbital positions, the landing module and the spacecraft carrying astronauts will rendezvous and dock with each other. Two crew members will enter the landing module, which will then undock and descend toward the lunar surface for an engine-assisted soft landing.
\n
On the lunar surface, the astronauts will drive a rover to carry out scientific tasks and collect samples. Upon the completion of their assignments, they will return to the landing module, which will fly them back to their spaceship waiting in lunar orbit.
\n
In the final stage, the astronauts will carry the samples into their spacecraft, which will then undock and return the crew to Earth.

New evidence detailing the atrocities committed by Unit 731, the notorious germ warfare detachment of the Imperial Japanese Army, was made public on Friday in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, exposing Japanese germ warfare crimes in detail.
\n
The latest release comprises 3,010 pages of archival documents, 194 minutes of video footage, 312 photographs, 12 postcards, and eight letters, most of which have been shown to the public for the first time.
\n
The materials involve multiple military and medical institutions, including the Imperial Japanese Army Medical School, Unit 731 in Harbin, Unit 1644 in Nanjing of Jiangsu province, and Unit 8604 in Guangzhou of Guangdong province.
\n
They cover a broad range of topics, from personnel rosters and daily life records to pathological dissection manuals, photographic archives, and combat handbooks used during Japan's biological warfare campaigns.
\n
According to Jin Chengmin, curator of the Exhibition Hall of Evidences of Crime Committed by Unit 731 of the Japanese Imperial Army, the latest evidence is drawn from three main sources, including official Japanese archives, oral testimonies from former Unit 731 members, and evidence collected from Japanese private sources, Xinhua News Agency reported.
\n
The combined textual, photographic, oral and physical evidence offers direct proof of the existence of Unit 731 and its organizational structure, scale, and personnel.
\n
It reveals extensive collaboration between certain government, military, medical and academic sectors of Japan in waging biological warfare.
\n
The new evidence and historical materials reveal further details of Japan's germ warfare system, and prove again that the existence of Unit 731 was a top-down, premeditated and organized state crime, Jin said.
\n
For decades, the Exhibition Hall of Evidences of Crime Committed by Unit 731 of the Japanese Imperial Army has conducted investigations across China and abroad to collect evidence of Japan's wartime biological warfare.
\n
Its work has extended to Japan, the United States, Russia and Germany, preserving over 423 hours of oral testimony from former Unit 731 members and amassing more than 300,000 pages of documents.
\n
Established in Harbin in 1933, Unit 731 served as the nerve center of Japan's germ warfare during World War II.
\n
Operating under the guise of "epidemic prevention", it carried out inhumane human experiments, inflicting extreme suffering on victims from multiple countries.
\n
To further expose these crimes, the exhibition hall announced on Friday that it will open a special exhibition showcasing 3,482 pages of documents and 662 artifacts collected over the past decade from China, Japan, the US and Russia.
\n
Friday also saw the launch of an illustrated catalogue of the cultural relics from the Exhibition Hall of Evidences of Crime Committed by Unit 731. Published in Chinese, Korean, English, Russian and Japanese, the comprehensive volume compiles decades of archaeological discoveries, field investigations, cross-border evidence collection and artifact donations.
\n
Friday marked the 80th anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender in World War II in 1945, and the 40th anniversary of the exhibition hall's establishment in 1985.

Rescued nationally protected wild birds are released during an activity in Jinhua, Zhejiang province, on Wednesday. Over 30 birds from 5 different species were released at the event.
\n
Police in China have investigated more than 7,000 criminal cases of harm to birds and other wild animals so far this year, capturing more than 11,000 suspects, the Ministry of Public Security said.
\n
Through continuous campaigns in recent years, police across the country have responded harshly to criminal activities harming wild animals, the ministry said in a statement on Friday, which marked National Ecology Day, and disclosed five typical cases harming wild birds.
\n
In one of the cases, in October 2023, police in Gaizhou, Liaoning province, captured 10 people suspected of hunting wild birds.
\n
The police confiscated from the suspects 31 wild birds under second-class State protection and more than 25,000 wild birds that are of important ecological, scientific and social value.
\n
From September to October in 2023, these people used nets and other tools to hunt wild birds in no-hunting zones or during hunting moratoriums, and purchased, transported and sold wild birds illegally, the ministry said.
\n
In another case, police in Jianli, Hubei province, captured 50 people suspected of illegal hunting, purchasing and selling of wild birds in October 2024.
\n
The police seized over 2,600 yellow-breasted buntings, which are classified as State first-class protected animals, along with a total of 28,800 protected animals like the yellow-throated bunting and black-faced bunting. Additionally, they confiscated over 40 sets of trapping equipment and more than 150 nets.
\n
Investigations by local public security authorities showed that from June to October in 2024, a suspect surnamed Zeng and another surnamed Zhang had others hunt protected wild birds in Jianli, and shipped the birds outside Hubei province to sell them, the ministry said.
\n
A third case was cracked in December 2023 by police in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, where six people suspected of hunting eagles and Chinese hwameis were captured.
\n
Despite being fully aware that eagles and Chinese hwameis are wildlife under special State protection, the suspects traveled to different places in the country to purchase, transport and sell them for personal breeding and profit without obtaining permits from relevant authorities, the ministry said.
\n
They were also said to have trained and manipulated eagles to hunt other wild birds, livestreamed Chinese hwamei fighting and organized online gambling.
\n
China has a list of species of wild animals, including birds, which it places under special State protection. Animals on the list are subject to first or second-class State protection.
\n
It also has an extensive list of terrestrial wild animals with important ecological, scientific and social value. Listed animals are also placed under strict protection.
\n
In order to protect biodiversity, the Ministry of Public Security has recently initiated a nationwide campaign aimed at combating criminal activities that harm State-protected wildlife, including birds. This campaign calls for a rigorous crackdown on such illegal activities to ensure the preservation of these species.

A total of 19 officials, doctors and educators from nine institutions in Beijing have been held accountable in the case of a junior physician who fabricated academic records and committed plagiarism to gain admission into a prestigious medical program, China's top health authority announced on Friday.
\n
The National Health Commission also urged the Peking Union Medical College to tighten checks on applications for its four-year doctoral program — which provides outstanding students majoring in another discipline with an accelerated pathway to become a doctor — strengthen academic integrity education and ensure a mandatory three-year residency program for all.
\n
The academic misconduct of the junior physician, surnamed Dong, surfaced after her extramarital affair with a senior surgeon at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, surnamed Xiao, was made public by his wife in mid-April.
\n
Following public doubts cast on Dong's enrollment certifications, dissertations and dubious residency experiences, the commission launched an official investigation in early May and announced the revocation of the medical licenses of Dong and Xiao for violations of professional and academic ethics later that month.
\n
In the latest investigation results published on Friday, the commission said that the China-Japan Friendship Hospital failed to rigorously implement medical quality safety management and medical ethics nurturing. Previously, Xiao was confirmed to have arbitrarily left a surgical room while a patient was under anesthesia due to an argument involving Dong, who was a trainee there.
\n
Moreover, officials and doctors from the Peking Union Medical College, Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences have been found to have overlooked loopholes in Dong's application materials and dissertations. Some resorted to nepotism to illegally transfer Dong to different departments during her residency.
\n
Dong's aunt, surnamed Ban, an official at the University of Science and Technology Beijing, aided in falsifying Dong's academic records that were later used as application materials. She also arranged for a university teacher to help her niece write a doctoral thesis.
\n
The commission said that the vice-president of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, surnamed Cui, was given a disciplinary admonition. The then vice-president of Peking Union Medical College, who was responsible for admissions and teaching, surnamed Zhang, was given a serious warning.
\n
Seventeen other officials or workers from hospitals and universities, including several chief physicians and surgeons, have also been given punishment, including admonitions, disciplinary reviews and warnings.
\n
A head nurse at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, the director of academic affairs at the Peking Union Medical College and an official at the University of Science and Technology Beijing have been removed from their positions. Dong's aunt was dismissed and removed from the teaching position.
\n
The commission added that the "four-plus-four-year" doctoral program that admitted Dong is meant to advance integration of medical education with other disciplines.
\n
It has now joined efforts with the Ministry of Education to urge the Peking Union Medical College to deepen rectifications, including specifying the range of applicants' undergraduate institutions and major categories, enhancing checks of academic records, and strength education on academic integrity and oversight over clinical internships.

A total of 19 officials, doctors and educators from nine institutions in Beijing have been held accountable in the case of a junior physician who fabricated academic records and committed plagiarism to gain admission into a prestigious medical program, China's top health authority announced on Friday.
\n
The National Health Commission also urged the Peking Union Medical College to tighten checks on applications for its four-year doctoral program — which provides outstanding students majoring in another discipline with an accelerated pathway to become a doctor — strengthen academic integrity education and ensure a mandatory three-year residency program for all.
\n
The academic misconduct of the junior physician, surnamed Dong, surfaced after her extramarital affair with a senior surgeon at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, surnamed Xiao, was made public by his wife in mid-April.
\n
Following public doubts cast on Dong's enrollment certifications, dissertations and dubious residency experiences, the commission launched an official investigation in early May and announced the revocation of the medical licenses of Dong and Xiao for violations of professional and academic ethics later that month.
\n
In the latest investigation results published on Friday, the commission said that the China-Japan Friendship Hospital failed to rigorously implement medical quality safety management and medical ethics nurturing. Previously, Xiao was confirmed to have arbitrarily left a surgical room while a patient was under anesthesia due to an argument involving Dong, who was a trainee there.
\n
Moreover, officials and doctors from the Peking Union Medical College, Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences have been found to have overlooked loopholes in Dong's application materials and dissertations. Some resorted to nepotism to illegally transfer Dong to different departments during her residency.
\n
Dong's aunt, surnamed Ban, an official at the University of Science and Technology Beijing, aided in falsifying Dong's academic records that were later used as application materials. She also arranged for a university teacher to help her niece write a doctoral thesis.
\n
The commission said that the vice-president of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, surnamed Cui, was given a disciplinary admonition. The then vice-president of Peking Union Medical College, who was responsible for admissions and teaching, surnamed Zhang, was given a serious warning.

Payzawat county in Kashgar prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, has become China's largest plum producer, thanks in part to assistance from South China's Guangdong province.
\n
"The county boasts 38,000 hectares of plum orchards, accounting for about half of China's total," said Wu Congying, head of Guangdong's assistance work team, who now works as the deputy secretary of the county Party committee.
\n
The county's annual plum production makes up 70 percent of the country's total, according to the county's data.
\n
Plum cultivation in Payzawat has a long history, but was previously unstructured and less profitable. Preserving fresh plums was also once a major challenge for local farmers.
\n
In recent years, assistance programs from Guangdong have helped transform the industry by integrating research, education and production, leading to the establishment of a modern plum industrial park.
\n
To support the growth of the local plum industry, eight research teams have been set up in the park, focusing on the key challenges such as product development and pest control.
\n
Meanwhile, a countywide cold chain logistics system has been established to improve storage and distribution.
\n
"The abundant sunlight, along with trace elements like calcium, potassium and selenium in land and water, creates an ideal environment for plum cultivation," said Dang Yu, the Party secretary of the development service center of Payzawat's modern agricultural industrial park, where the plum park is based.
\n
"The plums are rich in anthocyanins and vitamins, offering antioxidant and digestive benefits, making them highly popular among consumers," said Dang.
\n
The quality plums have attracted 25 enterprises to produce 22 types of products, including juice, dried fruit, wine and jam.
\n
Currently, 70 percent of Payzawat's plums are sold fresh, while the remaining are processed into juices, jams and other goods.
\n
Today, the plum industry in the county has evolved from simple plantation into a full-fledged industrial chain covering planting, harvesting, sorting, packaging, processing, cold storage and sales. It has created jobs for more than 150,000 people.
\n
"The plum harvest season lasts nearly two months, during which over 300 farmers work daily at our company, earning more than 200 yuan ($28) per day," said Guo Haijun, head of Kashgar Pagoda Anda Smart Agriculture Company.
\n
Last year, the company purchased 3,000 metric tons of plums from local growers.
\n
"My family planted one hectare of plum trees, and this is the first fruit-bearing year," said Elminur Ablat, a local resident. "The fresh fruit sales have already brought in an income of around 18,000 yuan this year."
\n
With the trees reaching full productivity by the third year, Ablat expects her annual income from the orchard to exceed 80,000 yuan, based on local growers' experience.
\n
The county aims to further expand its plum industry into a national-level modern agricultural cluster, according to the local government.

Since late July, northern China has been battered by rainstorms and record high downpours, with places like Miyun district in Beijing and some counties in Hebei province receiving record levels of rainfall. In Miyun, heavy downpours flooded the mountainous areas and lowlands alike, causing the tragic loss of lives and leaving many missing — the worst such disaster Beijing has faced in nearly a decade because of the area receiving almost a year's rainfall in a single day.
\n
Several factors caused this disaster. The Western Pacific subtropical high, a large-scale anti-cyclonic circulation located over the subtropical Pacific throughout the year which reaches its peak in boreal summer (Northern Hemisphere summer) and heavily influences East Asian summer, shifted unusually northward, gaining in strength, nudging China's primary rain belt further north and prolonging its stay. Meanwhile, distant typhoons acted like offshore "pressure pumps" funneling warm, moist air from the Western Pacific into northern China. This continuous infusion of moist air saturated the rain belt, causing extreme precipitation.
\n
The topography amplified the effect. Northern China is surrounded by the Taihang Mountains in the west and the Yanshan Mountains in the north. The warm, moist air flowing inland, forced upward by these mountains, first cools down and then condenses to cause heavy rainfall. That's why the mountainous areas as well as the foothills — Miyun district in Beijing and Yixian county in Hebei — had to bear the brunt of the deluge.
\n
But not just the mountains are at play here. Situated along the mid-latitude, northern China is exposed to cold fronts sweeping down from the higher latitudes. When they collide with tropical moist air, huge walls of cloud form, triggering torrential downpours.
\n
Rainfall involves the transformation of staggering amounts of energy into water in vapor form, which changes to liquid. During China's summer-rainy season, these rain belts span vast areas, generating super-strong winds, lightning, hail, and even tornadoes. Nature's power, in short, is spectacular and indiscriminate.
\n
Northern China's climate adds another twist. The region experiences sharply contrasting winter and summer winds, which create distinctly dry and wet seasons. Summer heat coincides with peak rainfall, further nourishing fertile farmlands. Yet this "rain-heat synchronicity" is a double-edged sword: a large percentage of the annual precipitation develops within a few months, often in concentrated bursts, which cause floods and landslides.
\n
Climate change has made matters worse. Rising temperatures increase atmospheric moisture, intensifying storms and a warmer atmosphere holds more water vapor, so when storms form, they can dump more rain in a shorter time. According to the World Meteorological Organization, every degree of global warming is projected to cause a 7 percent increase in extreme daily rainfall. And the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says heavy precipitation events are increasing in intensity and frequency globally. In China, this has manifested as more destructive flooding, underscoring the urgent need for forward-looking policies.
\n
In the past, northern China's wetlands, ponds and rivers acted as natural buffers, absorbing rainwater and gradually releasing it, diminishing the contrast between the wet and dry seasons. But development and modernization disturbed the natural phenomenon. Flood management, therefore, should not be only about "draining" water; it should be also about integrating year-round water resource planning.
\n
The frontline has shifted from major rivers to small streams, mountain gullies and local watersheds. Traditional solutions — dredging, widening and deepening of channels — often backfire, unleashing the full force of floods downstream and overwhelming flat, low-lying areas. Decentralized, nature-based structures — small dams, terraces, stepwise wetlands — are needed to dissipate energy, and "pocket reservoirs" are required for absorbing peak water flows during storms. Multifunctional flood storage areas can double as recreational spaces when they are dry, providing safety while enhancing local tourism and green infrastructure.
\n
Truly extreme events — "a year's rainfall in a single day" — are still rare. Building "millennial" infrastructure is costly, disruptive, and could still be insufficient to deal with worsening climate change. A more pragmatic approach would be to embrace the limits of engineering and the extremes of disasters. Certain areas can be designated as temporary flood zones, parks or water retention spaces, turning potential catastrophes into ecological and recreational opportunities. Green spaces and wetlands will thus become essential buffers safeguarding lives and livelihoods.
\n
Extreme rainfall affords no trial and error. We need meticulous planning and investment to reduce future losses. Governments, communities and individuals must be aware of the looming risks, and build adaptive infrastructure and devise emergency plans. Only then can we declare "we are ready" when storm clouds gather.
\n
Downpours in northern China remind us that nature can be both generous and ruthless. We cannot command the clouds, but we can prepare intelligently to deal with heavy downpours. By respecting ecological limits, integrating urban planning with water management, and embracing flexible, multi-functional solutions, we can turn extreme rainfall from a threat to an opportunity, thus protecting lives, supporting sustainable development, and ensuring that when an entire year's rainfall falls in a single day, we are not caught off guard.

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?
\n
In their anxiety, some parents eagerly await the reopening of schools or cram courses.
\n
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.
\n
The policy was designed with good intentions: to reduce the pressure of academic overload on students, and make families happier.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.

The recent release of the annual defense white paper, "Defense of Japan 2025", by the Japanese government may be a known trick being used by Japan to militarize the country. But what is unprecedented and especially worrisome is the release of a booklet based on the 2024 defense white paper for primary school students. Almost 6,100 copies of a comic book version of the white paper have been sent to about 2,400 primary schools across Japan.
\n
The publication, aimed at upper primary and secondary school students, presents military policies and geopolitical dynamics in an oversimplified, emotionally charged manner, labeling national defense a matter of existential urgency and military strength the ultimate safeguard for Japan. This is especially shocking given that pacifism is enshrined in the country's Constitution.
\n
Comprising colorful illustrations and mascots, the booklet appears harmless. But its message is far from benign. By citing neighboring countries — China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Russia — as looming threats and portraying Japan as the lone sentinel in a hostile region, it sends a dangerous message to young readers: fear your neighbors, trust the military.
\n
It is one thing to teach children the importance of national defense, quite another to ingrain in them a worldview shaped by anxiety and antagonism. Japan's new approach, cloaked in pedagogy but steeped in politics, represents a troubling shift from education to indoctrination.
\n
Equally worrying is the way the booklet frames the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Rather than exploring the complex political and historical roots of the conflict, it sends a singular message: Ukraine lacks a strong military, and is paying the price for it. The underlying message is even more alarming: peace comes not through diplomacy or cooperation, but through superior firepower.
\n
The militaristic worldview fosters binary thinking — us versus them, strong versus weak. It teaches a generation of students to see international relations, not as a way to build mutual understanding, but as a contest of force. In doing so, it feeds a nationalist narrative that legitimizes Japan's departure from its long-held principle of "exclusively defensive defense".
\n
The booklet promotes Japan's "counterstrike capabilities", a significant break from the country's postwar pacifist norms. Although Japan's Constitution renounces war, the publication normalizes aggressive policies by presenting them as a necessary response to a deteriorating security environment. Its goal is clear: to familiarize children with Japan's "need to build a strong military" and shape public opinion in favor of it.
\n
The narrative architecture of the booklet rests on a steady escalation of perceived threats. It claims Japan is part of a dangerous neighborhood, surrounded by nuclear-armed countries that do not share its values, making it easy to portray diplomacy as naive, and deterrence as the only rational option.
\n
Absent from the text is any discussion on peaceful coexistence of countries, regional cooperation, or historical context. There is no mention of Japan's own militarist past or its responsibility in shaping East Asia's security landscape, meaning it completely ignores history.
\n
This kind of message, aimed at children whose critical thinking is still developing, has long-term consequences. It risks instilling in young minds a sense of victimhood and suspicion, while discouraging them from seeing and forming their own views about the outside world. If left unchallenged, it could build a generation that welcomes militarism and views foreign countries with mistrust.
\n
The political timing is hard to ignore. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War, which should be an occasion for sober reflection. Instead, the Japanese government appears to be reviving the very ideology that led the country down the disastrous path in the 1930s.
\n
Japan has been revising its historical narrative in recent years, softening accounts of its wartime aggression and atrocities in textbooks, and offering vague official accounts on its wartime past. Now, with militarized materials entering elementary schools, Japan is reviving a nationalist form of education reminiscent of its prewar era.
\n
Schools should be sanctuaries for open thought, empathy and critical reasoning, not battlegrounds for ideological campaigns. When governments use education to amplify threat narratives, they undermine the very values they claim to protect. National security may be a legitimate concern, but instilling fear in young minds is a sign of a country's belligerence.
\n
Moreover, the booklet is a thinly veiled military recruitment strategy. With Japan's Self-Defense Forces struggling to meet enlistment targets, the booklet appears designed to inspire children to join the SDF when they grow up. Soldiers are portrayed as noble, military life as honorable and exciting to normalize the presence of military in everyday life.
\n
Fortunately, civil society in Japan is not silent. Several citizens' groups have petitioned the government and are calling for the booklet's withdrawal. Their resistance reminds us that democratic values still have a place in Japan's public discourse.
\n
Japan's move risks fueling regional distrust, exacerbating xenophobia in the country and destabilizing East Asia's already fragile peace. The seeds sown in classrooms today could grow into conflicts tomorrow.
\n
History shows what happens when education is used as a vehicle for militarization. Japan's prewar history offers a cautionary tale that should not be forgotten.

The recent release of the annual defense white paper, "Defense of Japan 2025", by the Japanese government may be a known trick being used by Japan to militarize the country. But what is unprecedented and especially worrisome is the release of a booklet based on the 2024 defense white paper for primary school students. Almost 6,100 copies of a comic book version of the white paper have been sent to about 2,400 primary schools across Japan.
\n
The publication, aimed at upper primary and secondary school students, presents military policies and geopolitical dynamics in an oversimplified, emotionally charged manner, labeling national defense a matter of existential urgency and military strength the ultimate safeguard for Japan. This is especially shocking given that pacifism is enshrined in the country's Constitution.
\n
Comprising colorful illustrations and mascots, the booklet appears harmless. But its message is far from benign. By citing neighboring countries — China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Russia — as looming threats and portraying Japan as the lone sentinel in a hostile region, it sends a dangerous message to young readers: fear your neighbors, trust the military.
\n
It is one thing to teach children the importance of national defense, quite another to ingrain in them a worldview shaped by anxiety and antagonism. Japan's new approach, cloaked in pedagogy but steeped in politics, represents a troubling shift from education to indoctrination.
\n
Equally worrying is the way the booklet frames the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Rather than exploring the complex political and historical roots of the conflict, it sends a singular message: Ukraine lacks a strong military, and is paying the price for it. The underlying message is even more alarming: peace comes not through diplomacy or cooperation, but through superior firepower.
\n
The militaristic worldview fosters binary thinking — us versus them, strong versus weak. It teaches a generation of students to see international relations, not as a way to build mutual understanding, but as a contest of force. In doing so, it feeds a nationalist narrative that legitimizes Japan's departure from its long-held principle of "exclusively defensive defense".
\n
The booklet promotes Japan's "counterstrike capabilities", a significant break from the country's postwar pacifist norms. Although Japan's Constitution renounces war, the publication normalizes aggressive policies by presenting them as a necessary response to a deteriorating security environment. Its goal is clear: to familiarize children with Japan's "need to build a strong military" and shape public opinion in favor of it.
\n
The narrative architecture of the booklet rests on a steady escalation of perceived threats. It claims Japan is part of a dangerous neighborhood, surrounded by nuclear-armed countries that do not share its values, making it easy to portray diplomacy as naive, and deterrence as the only rational option.
\n
Absent from the text is any discussion on peaceful coexistence of countries, regional cooperation, or historical context. There is no mention of Japan's own militarist past or its responsibility in shaping East Asia's security landscape, meaning it completely ignores history.
\n
This kind of message, aimed at children whose critical thinking is still developing, has long-term consequences. It risks instilling in young minds a sense of victimhood and suspicion, while discouraging them from seeing and forming their own views about the outside world. If left unchallenged, it could build a generation that welcomes militarism and views foreign countries with mistrust.
\n
The political timing is hard to ignore. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45) and the World Anti-Fascist War, which should be an occasion for sober reflection. Instead, the Japanese government appears to be reviving the very ideology that led the country down the disastrous path in the 1930s.
\n
Japan has been revising its historical narrative in recent years, softening accounts of its wartime aggression and atrocities in textbooks, and offering vague official accounts on its wartime past. Now, with militarized materials entering elementary schools, Japan is reviving a nationalist form of education reminiscent of its prewar era.
\n
Schools should be sanctuaries for open thought, empathy and critical reasoning, not battlegrounds for ideological campaigns. When governments use education to amplify threat narratives, they undermine the very values they claim to protect. National security may be a legitimate concern, but instilling fear in young minds is a sign of a country's belligerence.
\n
Moreover, the booklet is a thinly veiled military recruitment strategy. With Japan's Self-Defense Forces struggling to meet enlistment targets, the booklet appears designed to inspire children to join the SDF when they grow up. Soldiers are portrayed as noble, military life as honorable and exciting to normalize the presence of military in everyday life.
\n
Fortunately, civil society in Japan is not silent. Several citizens' groups have petitioned the government and are calling for the booklet's withdrawal. Their resistance reminds us that democratic values still have a place in Japan's public discourse.
\n
Japan's move risks fueling regional distrust, exacerbating xenophobia in the country and destabilizing East Asia's already fragile peace. The seeds sown in classrooms today could grow into conflicts tomorrow.
\n
History shows what happens when education is used as a vehicle for militarization. Japan's prewar history offers a cautionary tale that should not be forgotten. At a time when the world is facing growing uncertainty, countries should not propagate fear-based ideas; instead they should foster understanding, dialogue and critical thinking.

The sustained expansion of China's trade in services will remain a key driver of the country's broader economic growth and has emerged as a new magnet for foreign investment, said market observers and business executives.
\n
Such resilience is underpinned by expanding domestic demand and deeper integration with global markets, they said.
\n
In contrast to goods trade, trade in services refers to the sale and delivery of intangible services such as transportation, tourism, entertainment and professional services, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
\n
China's trade in services maintained steady growth in the first half, with total imports and exports reaching 3.89 trillion yuan ($542.45 billion), up 8 percent year-on-year, Ministry of Commerce data showed in early August.
\n
The continued growth of China's trade in services reflects structural shifts toward higher-value sectors, underpinned by the country's policy support, consumption and industrial upgrading, said Wang Bo, deputy director of the ministry's department of trade in services and commercial services.
\n
Zhao Jinping, vice-president of the China Association of Trade in Services, said that amid uncertainty created by protectionism and unilateralism, strengthening service trade can be essential for China to cushion against possible headwinds and support its economic growth.
\n
Poh-Yian Koh, president of FedEx China, said that China's ongoing efforts to widen opening-up will make trade in services a key driver of fresh competitive advantages in the years ahead.
\n
She added that the company completed the upgrade of its international export services in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, last month.
\n
Wei Xiang, a researcher specializing in trade in services at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, said that with China's opening-up measures creating new opportunities in modern services, multinational corporations are increasing investment in areas such as entertainment, tourism and bonded maintenance.
\n
Bonded maintenance refers to activity in which enterprises, operating outside special Customs zones, import goods or transportation tools from overseas that have damaged components, functional failures or quality defects. These items are inspected and repaired and then reexported.
\n
Building on this momentum, policymakers at both the national and local levels have rolled out targeted measures to accelerate the growth of bonded maintenance, aiming to shorten turnaround times, lower operational costs and strengthen the sector's role as a competitive driver within China's expanding trade in services.
\n
Ma Tianshi, general manager of Siemens Shenzhen Magnetic Resonance, said, "The new policies enabled us to build a bonded maintenance center in Shenzhen last year, helping us better serve customers worldwide."
\n
Previously, magnetic resonance imaging components and much high-end medical equipment could not be repaired in China, requiring shipment to Germany, with cycles exceeding a month, Ma said.
\n
New bonded maintenance policies now cut turnaround times to five to seven days, enabling companies to meet customer needs far more efficiently, he added.
\n
The German company's bonded maintenance center completed repairs on nearly 2,000 MRI coils and filed bonded maintenance import and export declarations for nearly 6,000 MRI component items in the first half of the year, with a total trade value of about $9.3 million.
\n
In a further vote of confidence in the Chinese market, Sony Interactive Entertainment (Shanghai) showcased eight Chinese-developed games — including yet-to-be-released titles — at the 22nd China Digital Entertainment Expo and Conference, or ChinaJoy, held earlier this month in Shanghai.
\n
Tatsuo Eguchi, chairman and president of SIE Shanghai, said that driven by the rapid growth of China's gaming industry and the distinctive appeal of its content, Sony is committed to expanding research and development and talent recruitment in China to drive long-term growth.

Shoppers browse air conditioners at a shop in Chongqing.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
China accounts for nearly 80 percent of the world's air conditioning production capacity, supplying energy-saving, efficient and low-carbon products globally. With climate extremes worsening and demand rising in developing countries, China's air conditioning export potential looks strong for the future, said Zhou Nan, secretary-general of the home appliances branch at the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products.

China's first commercial electron beam lithography system (EBL), "Xi Zhi", developed by Zhejiang University, has entered application testing, matching international precision standards and marking significant progress in domestic quantum chip research and development.
\n
At the university's Yuhang institute for quantum innovation, the research team is rigorously testing the large, cabinet-like machine.
\n
"This isn't an ordinary machine, but a 'nano-brush' capable of carving the map of an entire city on a single strand of hair!" the team leader said. Developed at a key provincial lab, the 100kV "Xi Zhi" system is now commercially available.
\n
The system is named after Wang Xizhi, a famous Chinese calligrapher. "The difference is that it uses an electron beam instead of a brush, carving circuits on chips," a senior researcher said. Targeting quantum chips and advanced semiconductors, "Xi Zhi" directly "writes" circuits onto silicon wafers with 0.6 nanometer precision and 8 nanometer line width. It enables flexible design modifications without traditional photomasks. "In the early research and development phase, numerous design iterations requiring line-by-line adjustments are common. EBL offers high precision and convenience in 'writing,' greatly boosting efficiency in chip development," the researcher added.
\n
The development of "Xi Zhi" breaks a critical barrier.
\n
Previously, such cutting-edge technology was restricted by international export controls, leaving top institutions like the University of Science and Technology of China and Zhejiang University's own labs unable to procure it.
\n
"Xi Zhi" is now in procurement discussions with entities like Huawei HiSilicon and multiple research institutes, priced below the international average.
\n
The success of "Xi Zhi" stems from the "dual-new integration" model put forth by Zhejiang province, which merges technological and industrial innovation.
\n
The application testing of "Xi Zhi" represents a major breakthrough in the localization of core high-end semiconductor equipment. This "graver", independently controlled by China, provides a solid foundation for accelerating the development of domestic high-end chips.
\n
Yuhang district of Hangzhou is prioritizing integrated reforms in education, science, and talent, with AI as a key driver, to build a demonstration zone for innovation. Future efforts will focus on creating more landmark achievements through high-level platforms, talent, enterprises, projects, and tech finance.

China's artificial intelligence-driven drug discovery is accelerating its role as a prominent player in global biotech. Experts and industry insiders said the sector is drawing unprecedented international attention, even though no AI-discovered drug has yet reached the market.
\n
According to SDIC Securities, the global AI-driven drug market has more than doubled since 2021, hitting $1.76 billion in 2024, with a compound annual growth rate of more than 30 percent.
\n
In China, the pace is even faster from 70 million yuan ($9.74 million) in 2019 to 410 million yuan in 2023, with a CAGR of 57.4 percent. Lead-Leo Research Institute projects nearly 70 percent annual growth from 2024 to 2028, when the market could top 5.86 billion yuan.
\n
China's AI drug sector has also been striking deals with Big Pharma. This year alone, Syneron Bio inked a $3.4 billion agreement with AstraZeneca, while Helixon signed a $1.72 billion partnership with Sanofi, among others.
\n
"These collaborations show Chinese AI drug-discovery capabilities are gaining global recognition," said Fang Yang, executive director for healthcare and biotech at CEC Capital. "The industry is entering a new phase of going global and proving it can deliver results."
\n
The most recent deal capturing attention is China's XtalPi Holdings Ltd's $6 billion partnership with US biotech firm DoveTree. It ranks among the largest license-out deals in China's biopharma history.
\n
Under the deal, announced on Aug 5, XtalPi will deploy its AI platforms to run preclinical research on a mix of large — and small-molecule programs, including several targets picked by DoveTree. The US partner will hold exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize the resulting drug candidates.
\n
XtalPi has already pocketed $51 million upfront, far exceeding its total 2024 revenue of 266 million yuan and is in line for another $49 million in near-term payments and as much as $5.89 billion in milestones and royalties.
\n
"AI can optimize molecular structures and streamline the earliest stages of drug research and development," said Chu Lei, a researcher at the Healthcare Executive Institute. "XtalPi's role is to deliver ready-to-test clinical candidates straight to DoveTree's labs."
\n
Still, the potential of AI in biotech is promising. Traditional drug development can take more than a decade and cost more than $1 billion. AI, particularly deep-learning models, can speed up target screening, molecular design, and even trial planning. Consultancy McKinsey experts estimated that AI could shrink the time from lab to patient to a tenth of current timelines.
\n
Ren Feng, co-CEO of Insilico Medicine, described the global AI-driven biotech sector as moving into its 2.0 phase. The first wave dating back three decades relied on physics-based computer-aided design. The arrival of generative AI around 2013 marked a turning point, allowing algorithms to create novel molecules from scratch by drawing on vast troves of historical data.
\n
The next stage, Ren said, will see AI embedded in every step of drug R&D, from target discovery to clinical management — ushering in what he calls the "3.0 era" of fully integrated, intelligent drug development.
\n
Policy tailwinds are reinforcing the trend. In November 2024, the National Health Commission and two other ministries issued a blueprint for AI in healthcare, naming intelligent drug discovery and development and AI-assisted clinical trials as priority areas.
\n
Local governments are following suit. On Aug 12, Zhejiang province laid out a plan to build a national AI medical application base by 2027, aimed at fostering homegrown innovators, attracting composite talent, and building a complete AI healthcare industry chain.
\n
Despite the surge in dealmaking and investment, industry experts stress most AI-driven agreements today, including XtalPi's, focus on preclinical work. "No AI-discovered drug has yet been approved anywhere in the world, meaning the commercial loop remains incomplete," Chu noted.

"These collaborations show Chinese AI drug-discovery capabilities are gaining global recognition," said Fang Yang, executive director for healthcare and biotech at CEC Capital. "The industry is entering a new phase of going global and proving it can deliver results."
\n
The most recent deal capturing attention is China's XtalPi Holdings Ltd's $6 billion partnership with US biotech firm DoveTree. It ranks among the largest license-out deals in China's biopharma history.
\n
Under the deal, announced on Aug 5, XtalPi will deploy its AI platforms to run preclinical research on a mix of large — and small-molecule programs, including several targets picked by DoveTree. The US partner will hold exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize the resulting drug candidates.
\n
XtalPi has already pocketed $51 million upfront, far exceeding its total 2024 revenue of 266 million yuan and is in line for another $49 million in near-term payments and as much as $5.89 billion in milestones and royalties.
\n
"AI can optimize molecular structures and streamline the earliest stages of drug research and development," said Chu Lei, a researcher at the Healthcare Executive Institute. "XtalPi's role is to deliver ready-to-test clinical candidates straight to DoveTree's labs."
\n
Still, the potential of AI in biotech is promising. Traditional drug development can take more than a decade and cost more than $1 billion. AI, particularly deep-learning models, can speed up target screening, molecular design, and even trial planning. Consultancy McKinsey experts estimated that AI could shrink the time from lab to patient to a tenth of current timelines.
\n
Ren Feng, co-CEO of Insilico Medicine, described the global AI-driven biotech sector as moving into its 2.0 phase. The first wave dating back three decades relied on physics-based computer-aided design. The arrival of generative AI around 2013 marked a turning point, allowing algorithms to create novel molecules from scratch by drawing on vast troves of historical data.
\n
The next stage, Ren said, will see AI embedded in every step of drug R&D, from target discovery to clinical management — ushering in what he calls the "3.0 era" of fully integrated, intelligent drug development.
\n
Policy tailwinds are reinforcing the trend. In November 2024, the National Health Commission and two other ministries issued a blueprint for AI in healthcare, naming intelligent drug discovery and development and AI-assisted clinical trials as priority areas.
\n
Local governments are following suit. On Aug 12, Zhejiang province laid out a plan to build a national AI medical application base by 2027, aimed at fostering homegrown innovators, attracting composite talent, and building a complete AI healthcare industry chain.
\n
Despite the surge in dealmaking and investment, industry experts stress most AI-driven agreements today, including XtalPi's, focus on preclinical work. "No AI-discovered drug has yet been approved anywhere in the world, meaning the commercial loop remains incomplete," Chu noted.
Foreign ministers from China, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam pledged on Friday to strengthen solidarity, openness and cooperation across various fields in the face of a complex and severe international landscape.
\n
At the 10th Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Anning, Southwest China's Yunnan province, they also vowed to uphold multilateralism, safeguard free trade, step up the fight against cross-border crime, jointly tackle challenges, and work together to maintain peace, stability and prosperity in the region.
\n
The two-day meeting, which concluded on Friday, adopted three outcome documents outlining progress on the LMC's action plan, identifying new projects to be funded in the coming year, and setting out ways to strengthen cooperation on non-traditional security issues.
\n
Initiated and launched in 2015, the LMC is an innovative type of regional cooperation mechanism among the Lancang-Mekong countries. The Lancang-Mekong region refers to the countries along the Mekong River, known as the Lancang River in China.
\n
All sides agreed at the meeting that the LMC has assisted the socioeconomic development in all six countries, promoted regional economic integration, improved the well-being of people in the river basin, and contributed to regional peace, stability and sustainable development.
\n
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that since the first foreign ministers' meeting held in Yunnan, the LMC has transformed from a seed into "a towering tree" over the past decade, with cooperation focusing on the five priority areas of connectivity, production capacity cooperation, cross-border economy, water resources, and agriculture and poverty reduction.
\n
Trade between China and the five Mekong countries reached $437 billion in 2024, up 125 percent from a decade ago.
\n
Noting that the world is facing greater instability with hegemonism, power politics, unilateralism and protectionism on the rise, Wang stressed that peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit remain the common aspirations of the people and the prevailing trend of the times.
\n
China, he said, will continue to follow the principles of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness, ensuring that Chinese modernization brings more benefits to Mekong countries.
\n
Looking ahead, he proposed strengthening top-level planning, promoting innovative development, deepening law enforcement cooperation and enhancing people-to-people exchanges to build version 2.0 of the LMC and usher in a new golden decade.
\n
To hold on to the "steering wheel" of the LMC's institutional framework, Wang called for efforts to strengthen high-level strategic communication, make preparations for the leaders' meeting and promote the establishment of an international secretariat for the LMC.
\n
On the sidelines of the LMC meeting, as proposed by Thailand, the co-chair of the LMC, an informal discussion among the foreign ministers of China, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand was held on Friday.
\n
Wang said that China, Laos and Thailand, as friendly neighbors of Myanmar, have a better understanding of its unique national conditions and hope even more for Myanmar to return to stability and achieve national reconciliation.
\n
He stressed the importance of supporting a Myanmar-owned and Myanmar-led peace process, promoting dialogue to resolve differences, prioritizing people's livelihoods and being vigilant against external interference that could disrupt regional stability.
\n
The Myanmar side briefed the meeting on the country's domestic situation and preparations for the upcoming elections, noting that tensions have eased since the last such four-party meeting held in August last year.
\n
During the meeting, the four ministers also exchanged views on joint efforts to combat cross-border crime.
\n
Wang said that since the previous meeting, the four countries have achieved notable results in tackling cross-border crime by strengthening border control and management, but continued collaboration is still needed given the region's security situation.
\n
The four sides agreed to continue strengthening law enforcement and security cooperation, intensifying efforts to combat online gambling, telecom fraud, drug and arms trafficking, human trafficking, and other cross-border crimes, in order to jointly safeguard regional peace and stability.

People in the United States were drowning in $18.3 trillion of household debt in the second quarter of the year, a new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York shows, just as producer prices edged higher last month, which could mean that businesses will soon start raising consumer prices, warn experts.
\n
The findings in the latest quarterly report by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Center for Microeconomic Data, released in August, come amid multiple warnings that families will likely face extra costs due to the US administration's tariffs on imports.
\n
Arnold P., 55, an economist and financial adviser from Brooklyn, New York, withheld his surname to protect the anonymity of his clients. He revealed that many people he sees are desperate to find ways to lower their outgoings in preparation for higher costs, but are finding it difficult due to debt.
\n
"I see a lot of people whose finances are barely above water, mostly due to debt," he told China Daily. "(They have) college loans, a mortgage, some have six-figure credit card debt.
\n
"I warn them that when your debt service is 40 percent or more and you have inflation, your necessities are costing you much more and if you have very little savings, then this is a recipe for disaster. I believe this is the case for many working families and individuals who are already complaining about the cost of living."
\n
Household debt increased by $185 billion (1 percent) in Q2 2025, to $18.39 trillion, the New York Fed found.
\n
"This quarter's flow of household debt into serious delinquency was mixed across debt types, with credit card and auto loans holding steady, student loans continuing to rise, and mortgages edging up slightly," Joelle Scally, an economic policy adviser at the New York Fed, said in a statement.
\n
The rise in personal debt comes alongside the release of a separate report on Thursday by the Labor Department, which showed that US wholesale inflation surged unexpectedly last month, in a sign that Trump's tariffs were not only pushing up costs for businesses, but higher prices could soon be a reality for consumers.
\n
Christopher Rupkey, chief economist at fwdbonds, a financial markets research firm, wrote in a note that "it will only be a matter of time before producers pass their higher tariff-related costs onto the backs of inflation-weary consumers".
\n
The producer price index measures inflation before it hits consumers, or the final demand goods and services prices. It rose 0.9 percent last month from June, compared with the Dow Jones estimate of a 0.2 percent gain. It was its biggest jump in three years. And compared with 2024, wholesale prices rose 3.3 percent.
\n
Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics, told Reuters: "This is a kick in the teeth for anyone who thought that tariffs would not impact domestic prices in the United States economy. This report is a strong validation of the Fed's wait-and-see stance on policy changes."
\n
Financial markets anticipate that the Fed may cut rates in September.
\n
Joao F. Gomes, the Howard Butcher III professor of finance and senior vice-dean of research, centers, and academic initiatives at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, is an expert on the role of financial markets in the macroeconomy.
\n
He told China Daily that the US economy is slowing down, "and this might be driven by some nervousness about hiring and investing by businesses in response to the new administration's changing policies".
\n
Overall, the impact of tariffs may mean an average family could pay $2,400 a year, according to the Yale Budget Lab.
\n
Yet 59 percent of US citizens don't have enough savings to cover an unexpected $1,000 emergency expense, a Bankrate emergency savings report conducted with SSRS and YouGov in January found.
\n
About 46 percent of adults surveyed by Bankrate, a consumer financial services firm based in New York, had enough emergency savings to cover three months of expenses. But 24 percent had no emergency savings at all.
\n
Data from the New York Fed showed that credit card balances rose by $27 billion from the previous quarter to $1.21 trillion. Meanwhile, auto loan balances also increased by $13 billion to $1.66 trillion. Student loan balances went up $7 billion to $1.64 trillion.
\n
In total, non-housing balances rose by $45 billion, a 0.9 percent increase from Q1 2025. Lastly, mortgage balances rose by $131 billion in the second quarter and were $12.9 trillion by June 2025, the Fed said.
\n
Arnold, the financial adviser, says that households will undoubtedly be affected by higher prices on goods as the US relies on imports "of products from Canada, Mexico and China".
\n
He suggests that any household that is battling debt should focus on ensuring the basics are covered.
\n
"I mean, obviously, rent is high," he added. "It absolutely constricts the budget. … That's always your first priority, paying the rent, paying the mortgage, and then everything else, including food, is secondary."

Delegates discussing the world's first legally binding treaty to tackle plastic pollution failed to reach consensus, diplomats said on Friday, voicing disappointment and even rage that the 10-day talks produced no deal. Delegates had been seeking a breakthrough in the deadlocked United Nations' talks in Geneva, but states pushing for an ambitious treaty said that the latest text released overnight failed to meet their expectations. 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. UN officials and some countries, including Britain, said that negotiations should resume, but others described a broken process.

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. On Thursday night, Air Canada and the union clashed over an agreement to avoid stranding thousands of passengers abroad when the strike is expected to begin on Saturday.

Members of the DC Metropolitan Police detain a person, who had an altercation between members of the public, in Washington, DC, on Thursday.
\n
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration, stepping up its crackdown on policing in the nation's capital, on Thursday named the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration to be Washington's "emergency police commissioner" with all the powers of the police chief — a significant move that increases national control over the city as part of the federal government's law-enforcement takeover.
\n
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a directive issued on Thursday evening that DEA boss Terry Cole will assume "powers and duties vested in the District of Columbia Chief of Police". The Metropolitan Police Department "must receive approval from Commissioner Cole" before issuing any orders, Bondi said.
\n
It was not immediately clear where the move left Pamela Smith, the city's current police chief, who works for the mayor.
\n
The attorney general's directive comes hours after Smith directed MPD officers to share information with immigration agencies regarding people not in custody, such as someone involved in a traffic stop or checkpoint. The Justice Department said Bondi disagreed with the police chief's directive because it allowed for continued enforcement of "sanctuary policies".
\n
Bondi said she was rescinding that order as well as other MPD policies limiting inquiries into immigration status and preventing arrests based solely on federal immigration warrants. All new directives must now receive approval from Cole, the attorney general said.
\n
The late-night announcement came after an eventful day in the ongoing federal operation. Smith's earlier directive effectively brought together Trump's moves on city law enforcement and his nationwide efforts to curb immigration, and Trump had praised it in the hours before Bondi's announcement.
\n
A population already tense from days of ramp-up began seeing more significant shows of force across the city on Thursday. National Guard troops watched over some of the world's most renowned landmarks and Humvees took position in front of the busy main train station.
\n
Volunteers helped homeless people leave long-standing encampments — to where, exactly, was often unclear. Department of Homeland Security police stood outside Nationals Park.
\n
Drug Enforcement Administration agents patrolled The Wharf, a popular nightlife area, while Secret Service officers patrolled the Foggy Bottom neighborhood.
\n
The visibility of federal forces around the city, including in many high-traffic areas, was striking to residents going about their lives.
\n
Trump has the power to take over federal law enforcement for 30 days before Congress must review his actions, though he has said he'll reevaluate as that deadline approaches.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday called on Japan to confront its wartime past, warning that only by facing history can the country avoid repeating past mistakes.
\n
Speaking at a joint news conference after the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Foreign Ministers' Meeting, Wang reiterated China's stance on historical issues, as Friday marks the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II.
\n
Eight decades ago, Japan was defeated, accepted the Potsdam Proclamation, and announced its unconditional surrender, Wang said.
\n
Yet today, certain forces in Japan still attempt to whitewash, deny, distort, and even rewrite history, glorifying war criminals — a disgraceful act which Wang said only brings shame upon themselves.
\n
He condemned such actions as a challenge to the United Nations Charter, the post-war international order, human conscience, and all the victorious nations and their people.
\n
"Only by facing history can Japan earn respect; only by drawing lessons from the past can it forge a future; and only by remembering history can Japan avoid straying onto the wrong path again," Wang stressed.
\n
In Tokyo on Thursday, officials and experts at a symposium themed "80 Years since the End of the Pacific War, 80 Years since Japan's Defeat: Toward Building a Peaceful World", expressed similar viewpoints.
\n
The symposium was organized on Thursday by the Association for Inheriting and Propagating the Murayama Statement, a Japanese civic group dedicated to upholding the 1995 Murayama Statement that acknowledges Japan's wartime mistakes.
\n
Former Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama pointed out that true "patriotism" means confronting historical facts and acknowledging past mistakes with courage.
\n
He stressed that Japan cannot simply claim that "compensation has been completed and responsibility fulfilled". Responsibility ends only when the victorious countries or former colonies declare they will no longer pursue claims.
\n
He said: "I believe that promoting peace and the development of democracy, based on a profound reflection on past history, is the path Japan should follow."
\n
On Friday, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba expressed "remorse" over the war, which he called a mistake, restoring the word in a Japanese leader's address for the first time since 2013, when former premier Shinzo Abe shunned it.
\n
Ishiba, however, did not mention Japan's aggression across Asia or apologize. Earlier in the day, at least one cabinet minister joined thousands of visitors at the notorious Yasukuni Shrine.
\n
Takakage Fujita, secretary-general of the Association for Inheriting and Propagating the Murayama Statement, quoted Japanese writer Shuichi Kato: "Distorting history brings absolutely no benefit and causes countless harms."
\n
Chinese Ambassador to Japan Wu Jianghao said that 80 years after Japan's defeat, the country should fulfill its serious political commitments, thoroughly repudiate any actions that distort, glorify, or deny the history of aggression.
\n
"Japan should demonstrate through concrete actions its adherence to peaceful development, thereby earning the trust of the Chinese people, the Japanese people, neighboring Asian countries, and the international community," Wu said.
\n
Akira Yamada, a professor at Meiji University, noted that Japan's pacifism has often been framed by the slogan "not to become a new victim", but emphasized that "avoiding becoming a new aggressor" is even more important.
\n
Yamada stressed that Japan should foster friendly relations with China and warned that hostile rhetoric toward China is extremely dangerous. "Distorting historical understanding will ultimately erode our own politics and society," he said.
\n
Hajime Takano, director of the East Asian Community Institute, also warned that hostile rhetoric toward China is dangerous and argued that the idea that "a Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency" is unfounded. He noted that the Taiwan question is a legacy of the Chinese civil war.
\n
Takano also criticized certain Japanese media for reporting on related events without considering the complex background.
\n
Tomoyoshi Kimura, director of the Northeast Asia Dynamics Study Group, emphasized that most people in Japan today were born after the war. Although they did not directly commit wartime crimes, they still bear a responsibility to humbly inherit and convey historical lessons.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday called on Japan to confront its wartime past, warning that only by facing history can the country avoid repeating past mistakes.
\n
Speaking at a joint news conference after the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation Foreign Ministers' Meeting, Wang reiterated China's stance on historical issues, as Friday marks the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II.
\n
Eight decades ago, Japan was defeated, accepted the Potsdam Proclamation, and announced its unconditional surrender, Wang said.
\n
Yet today, certain forces in Japan still attempt to whitewash, deny, distort, and even rewrite history, glorifying war criminals — a disgraceful act which Wang said only brings shame upon themselves.
\n
He condemned such actions as a challenge to the United Nations Charter, the post-war international order, human conscience, and all the victorious nations and their people.
\n
"Only by facing history can Japan earn respect; only by drawing lessons from the past can it forge a future; and only by remembering history can Japan avoid straying onto the wrong path again," Wang stressed.
\n
In Tokyo on Thursday, officials and experts at a symposium themed "80 Years since the End of the Pacific War, 80 Years since Japan's Defeat: Toward Building a Peaceful World", expressed similar viewpoints.
\n
The symposium was organized on Thursday by the Association for Inheriting and Propagating the Murayama Statement, a Japanese civic group dedicated to upholding the 1995 Murayama Statement that acknowledges Japan's wartime mistakes.
\n
Former Japanese prime minister Yukio Hatoyama pointed out that true "patriotism" means confronting historical facts and acknowledging past mistakes with courage.
\n
He stressed that Japan cannot simply claim that "compensation has been completed and responsibility fulfilled". Responsibility ends only when the victorious countries or former colonies declare they will no longer pursue claims.
\n
He said: "I believe that promoting peace and the development of democracy, based on a profound reflection on past history, is the path Japan should follow."
\n
On Friday, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba expressed "remorse" over the war, which he called a mistake, restoring the word in a Japanese leader's address for the first time since 2013, when former premier Shinzo Abe shunned it.
\n
Ishiba, however, did not mention Japan's aggression across Asia or apologize. Earlier in the day, at least one cabinet minister joined thousands of visitors at the notorious Yasukuni Shrine.
\n
Takakage Fujita, secretary-general of the Association for Inheriting and Propagating the Murayama Statement, quoted Japanese writer Shuichi Kato: "Distorting history brings absolutely no benefit and causes countless harms."
\n
Chinese Ambassador to Japan Wu Jianghao said that 80 years after Japan's defeat, the country should fulfill its serious political commitments, thoroughly repudiate any actions that distort, glorify, or deny the history of aggression.
\n
"Japan should demonstrate through concrete actions its adherence to peaceful development, thereby earning the trust of the Chinese people, the Japanese people, neighboring Asian countries, and the international community," Wu said.

Palestinians collect humanitarian aid in Gaza City on Thursday. Also on Thursday, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced a settlement project for the West Bank, a move his office said would "bury the idea of a Palestinian state".
\n
JERUSALEM/UNITED NATIONS — Israeli far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich approved plans overnight for a settlement that would split East Jerusalem from the northern West Bank, a move his office said would "bury the idea of a Palestinian state".
\n
It was not immediately clear if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed the plan to revive the long-frozen E1 scheme, which Palestinians and world powers have said would lop the West Bank in two and will likely draw international ire.
\n
In a statement headlined "Burying the idea of a Palestinian State", Smotrich's spokesperson said the minister would give a news conference later on Thursday about the plan to build 3,401 houses for Israeli settlers between an existing settlement in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
\n
Israel had frozen construction plans there since 2012 because of objections from the United States, European allies and other world powers who considered the project a threat to any future peace deal with the Palestinians.
\n
Britain and France are among several countries to announce in recent weeks plans to recognize a Palestinian state later this year, saying they wanted to keep the two-state solution alive.
\n
Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said: "Our position is clear — the Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the regime associated with them, have been established and are being maintained in violation of international law," in a note to correspondents.
\n
Construction in the E1 area would sever the northern and southern West Bank, severely undermining the prospects for the realization of a viable, contiguous State of Palestine, the note added.
\n
European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Thursday urged Israel to drop plans to advance settlement construction in the E1 area of the occupied West Bank, warning the move would violate international law and irreparably damage prospects for a two-state solution.
\n
"If implemented, settlement construction in this area will permanently cut the geographical and territorial contiguity between occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank and sever the connection between the northern and southern West Bank," Kallas said in a statement.
\n
Germany said it "strongly objects" to the plan and called on the Israeli government to "stop settlement construction", while Saudi Arabia also condemned the move "in the strongest possible terms".
\n
Israeli NGO Peace Now, which monitors settlement activity in the West Bank, denounced the E1 plan as "deadly for the future of Israel and for any chance of achieving a peaceful two-state solution".
\n
Meanwhile, in Gaza, more than 100 nonprofit groups warned on Thursday that Israel's rules for aid groups working in the Gaza Strip and occupied West Bank will block much-needed relief and replace independent organizations with those that serve Israel's political and military agenda — charges that Israel denied.
\n
At the same time, hospital officials reported more deaths from Israeli airstrikes and an increasing toll from malnutrition.
\n
The mounting backlash over aid restrictions and the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza have been cited by several countries as a factor in their moves toward recognizing Palestinian statehood.
\n
The aid groups, including Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders and CARE, stressed on Thursday that most of them have not been able to deliver "a single truck" of lifesaving assistance since Israel implemented a blockade in March.

Both the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea have marked the 80th anniversary of the Korean Peninsula's liberation from Japan's colonial rule, with the ROK leader pledging to reduce bilateral tensions.
\n
In a speech at a celebration event held at the Arch of Triumph Plaza in Pyongyang on Thursday, DPRK's top leader, Kim Jong-un, emphasized the DPRK's resistance against Japanese imperialism and the bloodshed endured to gain independence, and called for steadily and undauntedly overcoming the challenges facing the DPRK.
\n
On Friday, ROK President Lee Jaemyung, in a speech marking the country's Liberation Day, said the ROK will take consistent measures to reduce tensions with the DPRK and restore the Sept 19 military agreement between the two sides to lower military tensions at the border.
\n
The agreement was signed during the 2018 inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang. In June 2024, the ROK's then Yoon Suk-yeol government suspended the deal. "It is time to break free from outdated Cold War mentality and open a new era of peace on the Korean Peninsula," said Lee, at a ceremony held at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Seoul.
\n
Lee said his government respects the DPRK's current political system and will not pursue any form of unification by absorption while asserting that it has no intention of engaging in hostile acts.
\n
The DPRK celebrations were joined by Russian guests led by Russian State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin. According to the Korean Central News Agency, Volodin, who met Kim on Thursday, read a congratulatory letter from Russian President Vladimir Putin to Kim, expressing his willingness to further develop bilateral relations.
\n
"Today, the DPRK-Russia friendship has developed into an unprecedented alliance," Kim, who is general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, was quoted as saying by the official Rodong Sinmun newspaper on Friday.
\n
Kim said the bilateral relationship has been solidified amid their joint struggle against the revival of neo-Nazism and to safeguard sovereignty, security and international justice.
\n
The DPRK has been wary of military exercises to be held by the ROK with the United States.
\n
"The United States-ROK joint military drills to be started on Aug 18 will undoubtedly make the hostile nature of the ROK brought to light again," Kim Yo-jong, vice department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, said earlier.
\n
She also noted that she believed Seoul's policy toward the DPRK remained unchanged.
\n
Hong Min, a senior analyst at the Institute for National Unification in the ROK, told Reuters that Pyongyang likely anticipated further conciliatory gestures by the ROK.
\n
The joint military exercise is set to take place from Monday to Aug 28, but the allies said last week that around half of the 40 planned field training drills will be postponed to September.
\n
Lee said a peaceful Korean Peninsula must be nuclear-free.

Inside a hall at the Grand Canal Museum of Beijing, the projection of light and images produces an immersive experience on Tuesday.
\n
Students explore the This Is Shang Dynasty exhibition at the Grand Canal Museum of Beijing in June.
\n
While in downtown Beijing, the Confucius Temple and Guozijian (Imperial College) Museum showcases Confucian rituals on Aug 3.
\n
On a warm August morning at the Grand Canal Museum of Beijing, a small crowd of children huddles around a bronze treasure that has been waiting more than three millennia to be admired. The famed owl-shaped zun — a Shang Dynasty (c.16th century-11th century BC) ritual vessel symbolizing the war god — sits in its case, silent yet commanding.
\n
Twelve-year-old Chen Mingxuan lifts an AI-enabled handheld device to eye level. The screen hums and trembles in his hands, then blooms with animation: the vessel's intricate patterns begin to glow, shifting into scenes that reveal their hidden meanings. Mingxuan lets out an excited gasp as the owl's eyes gleam to life. He then taps a button to record his own retelling of the artifact's story. Later, his narration will be embedded into a custom "talking" refrigerator magnet — a souvenir that fuses the weight of tradition with a spark of technology.
\n
This is Return of the Mythical Beasts, one of the museum's newest education programs, developed as part of its push to reinvent how history is experienced. Situated in Tongzhou district, where the ancient Grand Canal once pulsed with trade activities, the museum has launched AI-powered terminals, crafting workshops, and immersive storytelling to draw children into the world of the Shang Dynasty.
\n
"Our AI terminals recognize more than 100 artifacts," says Zhang Ning, head of the museum's creative culture team.
\n
"When children record their own explanations of what they've learned, they're not just memorizing the information but also building a better understanding of history."
\n
The program ties into the museum's This Is Shang Dynasty exhibition and its canal heritage collection. This summer, new offerings have multiplied. The Journey Through the Great Shang program uses a dual-terminal teaching system linking teachers and students in real-time. While instructors guide lessons on a master device, students receive synchronized high-resolution images, videos and text on their tablets, allowing them to zoom in on details far beyond what the glass cases reveal.
\n
"The system tracks the students' progress and awards digital badges," Zhang notes.
\n
"It keeps them curious, engaged and proud of what they're learning."
\n
For those craving a dash of drama, The Shang King's Banquet Treasure Hunt begins on the eve of a royal feast, only for the bronze vessels to vanish. Armed with the king's secret orders, young sleuths follow clues through the galleries, decode bronze motifs, and try their hand at clay mold casting to crack the case.
\n
"It's about curiosity, participation and immersion," Zhang says.
\n
"Children leave with a tangible connection to the Shang world," she adds.
\n
In downtown Dongcheng district, at the solemn gates of the Confucius Temple and Guozijian (Imperial College) Museum, a group of children wearing traditional hanfu costume line up before the statue of Confucius, carefully adjusting their robes and using brushes to write Chinese characters that reflect Confucius thoughts.
\n
This signature program combines traditional rites and etiquette with immersive historical drama.
\n
The activities guide participants through the historical layers of China's classical learning, allowing them to explore the legacy of Confucian scholarship and ritual culture in a setting that once shaped the nation's intellectual elite.
\n
Once China's highest learning institution and a center for moral cultivation, the Imperial College draws on this profound legacy to inspire modern programs.
\n
Personnel at the facility have developed over 300 programs serving more than 7,000 participants since 2024, receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback, says Yan Jing, director of the education department with the museum.
\n
The two museums are among many across the capital that have rolled out learning experiences for summer vacationers.
\n
On Aug 8, the Study Tour Month of the Beijing Museum Season was launched, aiming to create a multidimensional space to combine cultural experiences, consumption scenarios and interactive activities.
\n
"Museums are more than repositories of history; they are cultural landmarks that preserve our legacy and pass on the heritage of civilization," said Chu Jianhao, a senior official with the Beijing Municipal Cultural Heritage Bureau, at the launch ceremony.
\n
Chu praised the rich array of exhibitions, technology-enhanced experiences, and creative programs that have attracted a growing public audience since the inaugural edition of the Beijing Museum Season's Exhibition Month in May. Science Month was held in June, and Cultural Creativity Month took place in July.
\n
The Study Tour Month embodies a commitment to culturalinheritance and innovative integration, he notes.
\n
"We will collaborate with museums across Beijing's districts to deliver diverse programs, including thematic study tours, interactive games and academic seminars," Chu says.
\n
"The goal is to transform museum resources into educational assets, enhance young people's cultural literacy, and bring high-quality cultural experiences to communities," he adds.
\n
By building on new partnerships with educational authorities, Chu reveals five freshly designed study routes along Beijing's Central Axis, along with extended summer hours to meet rising demand.
\n
On launch day, Dongcheng district's culture and tourism bureau unveiled a new set of themed educational travel routes that serve as a key to opening its history.
\n
"These routes are not just a string of attractions," Chu says, adding that at each stop, organizers include various activities.
\n
Chu calls upon participating museums to leverage Beijing's unique cultural heritage to design engaging and memorable programs for youth, ensure scholarly rigor and authenticity in historical storytelling, and embrace innovative formats including theatrical performances and digital interactivity, to enrich learning experiences.
\n
At the Bell and Drum Towers, students can participate in role-play activities and "time wisdom" workshops, solving clues through interactive games and augmented-reality treasure hunts to discover how ancient Chinese kept time — a glimpse into how museums turn history into living, breathing adventures.

Picturesque scenes of lotus flowers in the pond and beside a bridge in Zhejiang province.
\n
Women in traditional costumes walk in procession along a lotus field in Wangjiangjing town of Jiaxing, Zhejiang.
\n
In the height of the summer heat, the vast lotus ponds in Wangjiangjing town, Zhejiang province, stretch out in an endless sea of green.
\n
Amid the rippling emerald waters, delicate pink blossoms quietly unfurl. A stroll along the water's ridges offers air filled with the sweet fragrance of lotus as streams of visitors weave through the scene to snap photos, with some rolling up their pants to wade into the pond to pick fresh seedpods.
\n
This mass lotus field in the Liansidang scenic area in Xiuzhou district of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, has been carefully cultivated by Yao Zhongbao, head of the Zhongbao agricultural products cooperative.
\n
"Tourists come here not only to get close to nature and enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also to taste fresh lotus seeds and take home handmade lotus root starch, organic lotus seeds, and lotus tea leaves produced by our cooperative," he says.
\n
The wetlands are one of nature's precious gifts to Wangjiangjing. Since 2009, the town has leveraged its natural environment to develop a thriving wetland agriculture centered on lotus root, building a robust lotus industry.
\n
Lotus thrives in warm, humid environments, tolerates waterlogging, and offers value in each part of the plant: the flowers are ornamental while the roots and seeds are prized for their culinary and medicinal uses.
\n
The economic benefits of lotus farming have encouraged many villagers to participate, including Yao.
\n
However, his journey with lotus plants wasn't always idyllic.
\n
After years of growing lotus root, he began facing an invisible but persistent challenge — the soil, worn down from long-term cultivation, showed signs of fatigue, and the crops grew increasingly prone to disease.
\n
"The land was tired. The lotus root wasn't growing as it used to," Yao recalls.
\n
However, during a study trip organized by the local government, Yao's path took a turn. In 2015, he and his fellow farmers learned about new varieties of lotus that were being cultivated not just for their roots, but for seeds and flowers too.
\n
"Our old fields were no longer suitable for lotus root," Yao explains, "so I decided to try the new varieties to see if I could grow lotus seeds."
\n
At first, it was purely for practical reasons. The dry lotus seeds, used in traditional Chinese desserts like eight-treasure porridge, were harvested and processed for sale.
\n
"I didn't think of selling flowers at the time," he says with a chuckle. "A few friends asked for some blooms as gifts, so I gave them away."
\n
Five years later, in 2020, the flower side of his business began to show real promise.
\n
Yao began to receive the occasional flower order.
\n
By 2023, demand exploded thanks to an unexpected moment of online fame. A video of an elderly man carrying two baskets of lotus flowers on a shoulder pole went viral on Douyin, China's version of TikTok.
\n
"That's when it really took off," Yao says. "Suddenly, everyone wanted a piece of the lotus field."
\n
To cater to market demand, Yao has grown 350 mu (23.3 hectares) of ornamental lotus fields.
\n
"This year, we're growing 16 varieties across four major color palettes, including single and double-petaled blooms," Yao explains. "The earliest varieties started blooming in May, and we'll be harvesting through October."
\n
Not all lotus flowers are created equal, though; some fetch significantly higher prices. The Guanyin Lotus, for example, is a tightly-budded, double-petaled variety that requires a gentle hand to coax it open, earning it the nickname "pet flower" among growers.
\n
Yao's fresh-cut lotus flowers are sold on site and distributed to major flower markets in Shanghai, as well as in Hangzhou and Jiaxing in Zhejiang.
\n
Currently, the cooperative ships around 2,500 stems daily. Preliminary estimates show that one mu of ornamental lotus can generate revenue between 6,000 and 8,000 ($835-$1,114) yuan, far more profitable than lotus root farming.
\n
Despite the growing success of his flower business, Yao still cultivates 86.7 hectares of lotus root, which he says maximizes the use of land and "nothing goes to waste".
\n
To date, Wangjiangjing has nearly 666.7 hectares of lotus cultivation, with its annual output value reaching approximately 150 million yuan, says Liu Qixun, deputy head of the town.
\n
Across town is one specialized lotus marketing cooperative, three lotus processing enterprises, and more than 60 lotus-growing households.
\n
Beyond lotus flowers and roots, the two core products, Wangjiangjing's thriving lotus industry has sparked the development of a wide range of spin-off goods, from lotus root starch and sweet braised lotus to wonton wrappers, herbal lotus leaf tea, drinks, and lotus-flavored noodles.
\n
Li Xiuying, chair of a local agricultural technology company, says it partnered with a major food company to produce lotus root starch wonton wrappers.
\n
They're springy, translucent, and offer the distinct flavor of Jiangnan (the southern regions of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River). Consumers love them, Li says.

Picturesque scenes of lotus flowers in the pond and beside a bridge in Zhejiang province.

\n
In the height of the summer heat, the vast lotus ponds in Wangjiangjing town, Zhejiang province, stretch out in an endless sea of green.
\n
Amid the rippling emerald waters, delicate pink blossoms quietly unfurl. A stroll along the water's ridges offers air filled with the sweet fragrance of lotus as streams of visitors weave through the scene to snap photos, with some rolling up their pants to wade into the pond to pick fresh seedpods.
\n
This mass lotus field in the Liansidang scenic area in Xiuzhou district of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, has been carefully cultivated by Yao Zhongbao, head of the Zhongbao agricultural products cooperative.
\n
"Tourists come here not only to get close to nature and enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also to taste fresh lotus seeds and take home handmade lotus root starch, organic lotus seeds, and lotus tea leaves produced by our cooperative," he says.
\n
The wetlands are one of nature's precious gifts to Wangjiangjing. Since 2009, the town has leveraged its natural environment to develop a thriving wetland agriculture centered on lotus root, building a robust lotus industry.
\n
Lotus thrives in warm, humid environments, tolerates waterlogging, and offers value in each part of the plant: the flowers are ornamental while the roots and seeds are prized for their culinary and medicinal uses.
\n
The economic benefits of lotus farming have encouraged many villagers to participate, including Yao.
\n
However, his journey with lotus plants wasn't always idyllic.
\n
After years of growing lotus root, he began facing an invisible but persistent challenge — the soil, worn down from long-term cultivation, showed signs of fatigue, and the crops grew increasingly prone to disease.
\n
"The land was tired. The lotus root wasn't growing as it used to," Yao recalls.
\n
However, during a study trip organized by the local government, Yao's path took a turn. In 2015, he and his fellow farmers learned about new varieties of lotus that were being cultivated not just for their roots, but for seeds and flowers too.
\n
"Our old fields were no longer suitable for lotus root," Yao explains, "so I decided to try the new varieties to see if I could grow lotus seeds."
\n
At first, it was purely for practical reasons. The dry lotus seeds, used in traditional Chinese desserts like eight-treasure porridge, were harvested and processed for sale.
\n
"I didn't think of selling flowers at the time," he says with a chuckle. "A few friends asked for some blooms as gifts, so I gave them away."

Shaped like a traditional Chinese stringed instrument, and mirrored in the water to give it a circular appearance, the Music on the River project, designed by Peter Guo-hua Fu in Hengqin, Guangdong province, is a landmark in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

\n
For Chinese Canadian architect Peter Guo-hua Fu, his career has always revolved around two passions: designing buildings and promoting the public's understanding of them. 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".
\n
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.
\n
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.
\n
"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.
\n
Regarding Shanghai as his muse, Fu says nearly half of these projects, involving more than 200 buildings, are scattered across the city.
\n
"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.
\n
Fu says his connection with architecture began in childhood.
\n
"I would sit by the window, counting the red bricks on the buildings opposite my home. I also fondly remember accompanying my father to meet his business partners near the Bund, where I admired the views both inside and outside those beautiful buildings," he recalls.
\n
It was because of these experiences that, in 1980, he became an undergraduate student at Shanghai's Tongji University, majoring in architectural design and urban planning. After working for two years at Shenzhen University in Guangdong province, he returned to Tongji University as a postgraduate student in 1986, and further pursued a doctorate in architecture in 1989.
\n
"Shanghai is truly my blessed place. I came from Shanghai, and finally I returned. I spend most of my time here, and my greatest achievements have happened here too," he says.
\n
In 2021, Fu received the Shanghai Magnolia Silver Award, given to outstanding foreigners for their significant contributions to the city's development and international exchanges.
\n
"Maybe it's because I've contributed to shaping Shanghai's skyline," he suggests.
\n
In 1990, he was granted a full scholarship by McGill University's School of Architecture, and started his studying and working in Canada. He founded KFS Architects, operating an architectural design business in both China and Canada.
\n
His contribution to architecture was equally recognized in Canada. In September 2017, McGill University permanently named its School of Architecture, with a history of more than 120 years, as the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture.
\n
"Peter Guo-hua Fu is an outstanding architect, as well as a contributor to the friendship and cooperation between China and Canada," said Peng Jingtao, then consul general of China in Montreal, during the ceremony.
\n
"He received good education in both China and Canada. His Canada-based company grew rapidly in China. Fu's success has fully demonstrated the broad prospects for cooperation in education, business and trade between China and Canada," Peng said.
\n
Asked about his future plans, Fu says he will continue his pursuits in grand visual art.
\n
"The 100 architectural stories are a reflection of my 25-year-long work and a contribution to the idea that cities have warmth. I believed that architecture can be read, and can also be expressed through theater, dance, sculpture and painting. This is the beginning of my journey into grand architecture, grand art, and grand visual storytelling," he wrote in his book's preface.
\n
In the past decade, he has integrated architecture with a variety of art forms. In 2014, 2016, and 2017, he created a series of architecture-themed musicals, including Memories of the Valley, My Albert, and Exchange Students. In 2024, his architectural sculpture Memories of the Valley: Golden Home was displayed at the Shanghai Oriental Art Center.
\n
By the end of this year, he plans to launch an architecture-themed game aimed at reaching a wider audience, especially Generation Z. The game's goal is to popularize architectural design, culture, ideas and creativity.
\n
"Honestly, I've probably never done anything else in my life. I've been dedicated to architecture and sharing it with others — and I'm truly happy to have embraced this path," he says.

International volunteers participate in a summer camp on architectural heritage conservation in Shanxi province's Pingyao Ancient City.
\n
TAIYUAN — Amid the scorching summer heat of North China, 17 Chinese and international volunteers huddle beside the gatehouse of an ancient residence in the historic Pingyao county of Shanxi province, carefully restoring bricks under the watchful guidance of seasoned professionals.
\n
From Aug 1 to Wednesday, the Shanghai Ruan Yisan Heritage Foundation, together with Pingyao county, hosted a volunteer camp focused on architectural heritage conservation in Dongquan village, a traditional settlement in northern China.
\n
Over two weeks, the volunteers helped restore the gatehouse and surrounding walls of the centuries-old residence under the guidance of master craftsmen.
\n
They visited the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Pingyao Ancient City, as well as historic landmarks like Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple. The itinerary included meeting inheritors of local intangible cultural heritage, from traditional puppet performers to artisans of Pingyao's famed lacquerware craft.
\n
Of the 17 participants, six were from France. Leading the French group was 26-year-old Aurore Franche, a model with a deep passion for cultural heritage preservation. She saw it as a tangible link to the past, and joined the program to gain firsthand experience with traditional Chinese craftsmanship.
\n
"Chinese architecture is so beautiful, especially the incredible mortise and tenon structure," she says. "It's amazing how the pieces fit together so securely without glue or nails. That reflects the wisdom of ancient Chinese builders."
\n
Sara Zuniga, a university student from Mexico with a longstanding fascination for history, says her studies are fueled by a desire to understand the brilliance of past civilizations.
\n
"Unfortunately, many of Mexico's historical sites are damaged over time as development progresses. This makes me feel regretful and motivates me even more to protect what remains," she adds.
\n
For Zuniga, China — halfway across the globe — always seemed mysterious and captivating. "Before coming here, my impression of China was limited to what I had seen in films and reports from Western media. I wanted to see this ancient country for myself."
\n
At the restoration site, a young man fluent in Chinese soon caught the attention of fellow volunteers. Herwann Rocrou, 23, an archaeology student from France and an avid Sinology enthusiast, spends his spare time studying Chinese and has traveled to cities such as Shanghai and Suzhou, Jiangsu province. He has also explored ancient Chinese cultures, including the Yangshao culture and the Shang (c. 16th century-11th century BC) and Zhou (c. 11th century–256 BC) dynasties.
\n
He says he joined the Pingyao volunteer program to deepen his understanding of how traditional Chinese architecture is preserved and restored. "I love Chinese history and culture, and it's my dream to one day live in China with my girlfriend."
\n
During the program, international volunteers teamed up with skilled masons in Dongquan village, a nationally recognized historic site.
\n
They also visited ancient structures and relics in Liangcun village and explored Pingyao at night, one of China's best-preserved and inhabited ancient walled cities.
\n
According to Ding Feng, secretary general of the Ruan Yisan Heritage Foundation, the organization has held 48 volunteer camps across Shanxi, Guizhou, Fujian, Yunnan and other provinces since 2010.
\n
More than half of these activities have taken place in Shanxi, a province famous for its ancient architecture and home to over 28,000 historic structures. Nearly 1,000 international volunteers have taken part in the initiative over the past 15 years.
\n
"Our goal is to give the public, particularly young people, more opportunities to get directly involved in heritage protection," Ding says. "By working with their hands, they form a physical connection to traditional architecture, which deepens their emotional ties and sparks greater enthusiasm, initiative, and awareness for preserving cultural heritage."

\n
In front of Emery's camera, children exhibit a mix of curiosity and shyness in their eyes.
\n
A boy stretches out his hands with a big smile.
\n
Emery meets Lili again in 2019, almost 40 years after he took the girl's photo.
\n
In the early spring of 1980, Mike Emery stepped onto the land of China for the very first time. As a crew member of a cruise ship and a photographer, Emery, 23, wandered with a camera through the streets and captured images of people's daily lives in several major cities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin, framing many vibrant and colorful moments that are now gradually fading with time.
\n
Born in Staffordshire, England, and later settling down in Sydney, Australia, Emery vividly remembers his first trip to China 45 years ago, which he describes as exciting, lucky, and full of new discoveries.
\n
At that time, Emery got a job on a new cruise ship based in Japan that was heading to China. Over the course of about three months, he participated in seven cruise trips, making him one of the first foreign tourists to visit the nation since its reform and opening-up. He randomly captured scenes of daily lives during China's early transformative era.
\n
His photography book, China 1980, was published in 2019, and an exhibition, Nice to Meet You, running until Tuesday in Shanghai, displays over 100 photos from the book.
\n
"When our ship first docked at the port city of Tianjin, we didn't know what to expect, but it was like a carnival. There was an air of excitement, complete with flags, streamers and a marching band to greet us," Emery writes in the book.
\n
He clearly stood out at that time as a foreigner with fair hair, wearing colorful clothes and carrying a strange object — as many people had not seen such a camera before. Emery was curious about the nation and its residents.
\n
"Groups of up to 50 people would surround me, wanting to speak English, all supremely curious. They were all invariably polite and would ask, 'Excuse me, may I practice my English?'" writes Emery.
\n
Yet, language did not stop Emery from exploring the streets or diving into the crowds. He would put on a big smile, pull funny faces, stick his tongue out, or lie on his back in the middle of the street, trying to stimulate some kind of reaction.
\n
That was how Emery captured one of his highlighted photos during the trip — a boy stretching out his hands to the photographer with a big smile as if to say, "nice to meet you".
\n
Children make up a large part of Emery's photos. Through his lens, he captured children playing on the streets, as well as groups of children he encountered at a kindergarten or on their way to school, most giving him a smile and wave.
\n
"When you look at the laughing faces of these children, you can see the innocence in their eyes. There is no sense of stress. Life was simple. Pure happiness seems to erupt from the smiles of these beautiful people," says Emery.
\n
"They are wonderful subjects to photograph, and their characters shine through these pages. You will see … the way their stance evokes a sense of pride, both personal and cultural."
\n
The photographer noted that children everywhere in 1980 were dressed in brightly colored clothes, a distinct difference to the shades of blue, brown and khaki then worn by their parents and elders.
\n
It was a time when the nation was on the verge of dramatic changes. Emery's evocative imagery not only documents the vibrancy of Chinese street life, but also plays a crucial role in preserving memories of those days and Chinese culture for future generations.
\n
"The pace of life in China's cities in 1980, as I observed it, was steady. There was a calmness that was foreign to me. The bicycles weaved along the streets, and the buses meandered slowly. There was no hustle and bustle or sense of rush hour," says the photographer.
\n
During his trips to China, Emery observed and captured changes in the general appearance of society. He saw people start to become more individual, expressing themselves with new clothes and more adventurous hairstyles. Luxury goods, such as black-and-white TVs, started to appear in the shop windows in Shanghai, all signaling a complete change on the horizon.
\n
It was long after Emery's cruise trip days ended that he realized the significance of these old photos. There are very few photographs — especially in color — available from that period dedicated to people going about their daily lives. He hopes these photos can provide an insight into Chinese society in 1980 and by comparison, help people know how much it has changed since.
\n
Emery came back to China in 2019. When he stepped off the plane and got to see the brand-new country, he could hardly believe his eyes. More incredibly, shortly after the publishing of his book, he even unexpectedly reconnected to two girls featured in his photos taken 45 years ago.
\n
Still keeping over 300 photos of those trips in 1980, Emery says the people in the photos are the important ones who contributed to building China into what it is today. In a time when cameras or canvas were not common, such photos became the real records of their past and lives.
\n
"I think it is important for people nowadays to see these photos and learn about the stories, as they bring back memories that are fading," he says.
\n
With photos as the bond, the Australian photographer also aims to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation between Australian and Chinese people and cultures.
\n
Shi Hantao, curator of the exhibition, says: "As a traveler, Emery had no obligations for news reporting or publishing, nor did he need to maintain objectivity. His camera served as a tool to greet and converse with the strangers he met in China. In other words, what he captured was more about the encounter itself than any specific object."

Emery meets Lili again in 2019, almost 40 years after he took the girl's photo.
\n
In the early spring of 1980, Mike Emery stepped onto the land of China for the very first time. As a crew member of a cruise ship and a photographer, Emery, 23, wandered with a camera through the streets and captured images of people's daily lives in several major cities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin, framing many vibrant and colorful moments that are now gradually fading with time.
\n
Born in Staffordshire, England, and later settling down in Sydney, Australia, Emery vividly remembers his first trip to China 45 years ago, which he describes as exciting, lucky, and full of new discoveries.
\n
At that time, Emery got a job on a new cruise ship based in Japan that was heading to China. Over the course of about three months, he participated in seven cruise trips, making him one of the first foreign tourists to visit the nation since its reform and opening-up. He randomly captured scenes of daily lives during China's early transformative era.
\n
His photography book, China 1980, was published in 2019, and an exhibition, Nice to Meet You, running until Tuesday in Shanghai, displays over 100 photos from the book.
\n
"When our ship first docked at the port city of Tianjin, we didn't know what to expect, but it was like a carnival. There was an air of excitement, complete with flags, streamers and a marching band to greet us," Emery writes in the book.
\n
He clearly stood out at that time as a foreigner with fair hair, wearing colorful clothes and carrying a strange object — as many people had not seen such a camera before. Emery was curious about the nation and its residents.
\n
"Groups of up to 50 people would surround me, wanting to speak English, all supremely curious. They were all invariably polite and would ask, 'Excuse me, may I practice my English?'" writes Emery.
\n
Yet, language did not stop Emery from exploring the streets or diving into the crowds. He would put on a big smile, pull funny faces, stick his tongue out, or lie on his back in the middle of the street, trying to stimulate some kind of reaction.
\n
That was how Emery captured one of his highlighted photos during the trip — a boy stretching out his hands to the photographer with a big smile as if to say, "nice to meet you".
\n
Children make up a large part of Emery's photos. Through his lens, he captured children playing on the streets, as well as groups of children he encountered at a kindergarten or on their way to school, most giving him a smile and wave.
\n
"When you look at the laughing faces of these children, you can see the innocence in their eyes. There is no sense of stress. Life was simple. Pure happiness seems to erupt from the smiles of these beautiful people," says Emery.
\n
"They are wonderful subjects to photograph, and their characters shine through these pages. You will see … the way their stance evokes a sense of pride, both personal and cultural."
\n
The photographer noted that children everywhere in 1980 were dressed in brightly colored clothes, a distinct difference to the shades of blue, brown and khaki then worn by their parents and elders.
\n
It was a time when the nation was on the verge of dramatic changes. Emery's evocative imagery not only documents the vibrancy of Chinese street life, but also plays a crucial role in preserving memories of those days and Chinese culture for future generations.
\n
"The pace of life in China's cities in 1980, as I observed it, was steady. There was a calmness that was foreign to me. The bicycles weaved along the streets, and the buses meandered slowly. There was no hustle and bustle or sense of rush hour," says the photographer.
\n
During his trips to China, Emery observed and captured changes in the general appearance of society. He saw people start to become more individual, expressing themselves with new clothes and more adventurous hairstyles. Luxury goods, such as black-and-white TVs, started to appear in the shop windows in Shanghai, all signaling a complete change on the horizon.
\n
It was long after Emery's cruise trip days ended that he realized the significance of these old photos. There are very few photographs — especially in color — available from that period dedicated to people going about their daily lives. He hopes these photos can provide an insight into Chinese society in 1980 and by comparison, help people know how much it has changed since.
\n
Emery came back to China in 2019. When he stepped off the plane and got to see the brand-new country, he could hardly believe his eyes. More incredibly, shortly after the publishing of his book, he even unexpectedly reconnected to two girls featured in his photos taken 45 years ago.
\n
Still keeping over 300 photos of those trips in 1980, Emery says the people in the photos are the important ones who contributed to building China into what it is today. In a time when cameras or canvas were not common, such photos became the real records of their past and lives.
\n
"I think it is important for people nowadays to see these photos and learn about the stories, as they bring back memories that are fading," he says.
\n
With photos as the bond, the Australian photographer also aims to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation between Australian and Chinese people and cultures.
\n
Shi Hantao, curator of the exhibition, says: "As a traveler, Emery had no obligations for news reporting or publishing, nor did he need to maintain objectivity. His camera served as a tool to greet and converse with the strangers he met in China. In other words, what he captured was more about the encounter itself than any specific object."
\n
After Shanghai, the photo exhibition will travel to Suzhou in Jiangsu province and then continue to other cities.
The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding draws a big crowd during the summer vacation.
\n
CHENGDU — In the lush enclosures of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, 50-year-old researcher James Edward Ayala leans in to observe 2-year-old panda cub Rong Shuo, whose name translates to "Shining Chengdu".
\n
With gentle precision, he measures the cub's paw size, part of a study tracking male pandas' development.
\n
"I love working with him. … It's kind of symbolic of my relationship with the city," says Ayala, who has spent 15 years in Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan province.
\n
For the US researcher, pandas aren't just animals; they're bridges between cultures, science and people.
\n
Ayala, a recipient of China's prestigious friendship award and a torchbearer for the 2025 Chengdu World Games, embodies the global collaboration behind panda conservation.
\n
His journey, from a New York zookeeper to a contributor in China's panda research, mirrors the species' transformation — from an endangered animal to a cross-border cultural ambassador.
\n
When Ayala first arrived in China in 2010, giant pandas were classified as "endangered". Today, their status has improved to "vulnerable", with wild populations rebounding from 1,100 in the 1980s to nearly 1,900 last year, according to data released at the Global Panda Partners 2024 conference.
\n
China's efforts, including the launch of the Giant Panda National Park, are massive milestones for conservation, and it shows how committed the government is to conserving its wildlife, he says, noting the Chinese government's increasing funding in research, national parks, and agreements to United Nations regulations regarding environmental laws.
\n
Today, 757 pandas thrive in global breeding programs, and this progress isn't confined to China. "Conservation to me is no longer the responsibility of a single country," says Ayala, citing international cooperation between the Chengdu base, the US National Zoo and Japan's Adventure World as vivid examples.
\n
"We have great relations with our partners. We exchange scientists and benefit from different aspects of conservation work."
\n
Pandas transcend cultures, according to Ayala. He recalls a recent tour he led for German athlete Marcel Hassemeier, a multiple World Games champion and fellow torchbearer for the Chengdu World Games. Hassemeier spent hours discussing panda anatomy and physiology with Ayala.
\n
"It's interesting to see celebrities drawn to the science behind the cuteness," says the researcher.
\n
Li Desheng, chief expert at China's Giant Panda Conservation Research Center, echoes this sentiment: "Giant pandas are one of China's best business cards. Overseas netizens know them intimately and dream of visiting Sichuan to see them."
\n
Beyond their diplomatic role, pandas have spawned a vibrant ecosystem spanning tourism, cultural creativity and innovation. Chengdu's panda base draws 10 million annual visitors, fueling a bustling local industry, from panda-shaped pastries to high-tech souvenirs.
\n
Hua Hua, a cub beloved for her endearing clumsiness, has 564,000 followers on Sina Weibo. Her lifelike dolls sell for 1,000 yuan ($139) each, with sales surpassing 3,000 units.

\n
You've heard the phrase: "getting lost in a good book". Well, thanks to ingenious architecture, bold artistic devices and carefully-designed theaters, Unique Dream of Red Mansion in Langfang, Hebei province, enables fans of the eponymous Chinese classic to do — literally — just that.
\n
The novel written by Cao Xueqin, A Dream of Red Mansions, is an epic work that holds a mirror up to Chinese society during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), set against the backdrop of the rise and fall in the fortunes of four influential families. Told from the perspective of a tragic, but wealthy young man, Jia Baoyu, it depicts life through a mixture of reality and dreams.
\n
Inspired by the novel's philosophy, Wang Chaoge, as general planner, director, and playwright, built Unique Dream of Red Mansion to be a fusion of literature, architecture, technology and memory. She believes there are no words to describe what she has created, adding that even "dreamland" doesn't cover its scope.
\n
The ambitious project, funded by ENN Group, officially opened on July 23, 2023, and is now celebrating its second anniversary. The arts complex is located approximately 40 kilometers southeast of Beijing and is adjacent to the Beijing Daxing International Airport Economic Zone, allowing Wang ample space to make her sprawling vision a reality.
\n
"I want to bewilder visitors, and to keep everyone guessing what this place really is. I want to make you feel as if you've never seen anything like it," Wang explains.
\n
"I aim to shatter your preconceptions. For here, a new genre is born, one that, unless you witness it, defies all imagination; a place beyond mental sketching. Before its conception, no one ever merged theaters into a drama settlement cluster on such a scale."
\n
The Unique Dream of Red Mansion is a labyrinth of 108 spaces and 21 immersive performances, where audiences drift between reality and illusion, past and present.
\n
According to the latest figures, the complex has been in continuous operation for 730 days, attracting over 2 million visitors and staging more than 21,000 immersive performances. During this year's summer vacation, visitor traffic sees an increase of about 60 percent.
\n
The scenes and elements are inspired by the novel, with each location given a poetic name from the book, touching the audience's senses through the shifting currents of an epic that has haunted Chinese hearts for centuries.
\n
Wang spent nearly eight years bringing this project to life. As a keen lover of the novel, Wang believes it's not merely a book to be staged, but an infinite canvas. "Everyone has his own interpretation of A Dream of Red Mansions," Wang adds.
\n
"It is the dream you read, but never finish."
\n
The performances within the complex unfold along two intertwined threads: one reimagines the most iconic and climactic moments from the novel itself; the other explores the stories that have emerged throughout the years between readers and the novel. The entire work is divided among three grand theaters and multiple micro-theaters spread over an area of around 150,000 square meters. With 72,000 sq m of constructed performance space, the Unique Dream of Red Mansion feels less like a theater, and more like a living organism. Designed as a maze of "moving views and shifting scenes", it borrows from the aesthetics of Chinese ink painting — suggestion over detail, ambiguity over closure; a constant dance between presence and absence. Visitors wander through intricately crafted gardens, step into chambers alive with projection and sound, or slip into dim alleys, guided by a narrator's whispered voice.
\n
"And, I especially hope that, after you leave, a part of you will linger here, immersed for a long, long time. Because throughout the whole place, what we provide is experience," Wang adds, "This experience is my sole top priority. It's not just about plot or story."
\n
Inside, the unexpected is the norm. There is a Gate Theater, a hall lined with doors from different eras and regions in China, each a potential portal to an untold story. There is also a Bed Theater, where audiences lie down to watch performances. "Why can't you watch a play lying down? Or leaning forward? Or acting yourself? Who set these rules?" Wang says.
\n
"You can't impose boundaries on me, and can't set thresholds for me in art design … I consider myself more of a forward-thinking individual. This isn't about my personal recollections, but about resonating with the pulse of our times."
\n
Wang makes it clear that her intention was never to reconstruct the Daguan Garden from the novel, nor to create replicas of the main characters' homes. "You shouldn't anticipate replicating a storyline from A Dream of Red Mansions. Rather, you should come to collect yourself, encounter yourself, and bear witness to yourself, until finally, you can fall in love with yourself — perhaps even learn to help yourself," says Wang.
\n
Wang explains that the novel has played an important role in her life and that she has "cried for it" since her teenage years, when she would read it in secret and copy down the poems and couplets that struck her.
\n
When she finally finished, she recalls, "it felt like a world had left me, and I cried. For a week afterward, I was like a soul not fully here". Returning to it later in life, she was able to see the questions beneath the characters and plot.
\n
"Where life comes from? Where death leads? Are the book's Daguan Garden and realm between worlds real? Or is it an illusion? These are the questions that bothered me," says Wang.
\n
For many visitors, the main appeal of the venue's design is its balance between visual richness and deliberate emptiness. Visitors may encounter a plain white wall, or a room left seemingly bare — but never by accident.
\n
"In Chinese aesthetics, leaving blank space is not about creating absence — it's about creating larger space for imagination," Wang says, "What you do not see can be greater than what you see. If you fill everything in, it becomes dull."
\n
This technique, known as liubai, or leaving blank, echoes the untouched space in a scroll painting, the pause in a poem, or the silence between musical notes. It invites the audience to step in — to imagine the unseen, and in doing so, make it their own.
\n
"We have our own ways of seeing, our own ways of telling," says Wang, "If you leave here and, even for a moment, feel that something inside you has been touched — then I am satisfied. Because the story is not mine. It's yours."

After the performance, the entire cast takes a bow on stage at the Second Store, a major performance space at the Unique Dream of Red Mansion complex in Langfang, Hebei.
\n
It's perhaps not so hard to imagine visiting a theater and encountering Jia Baoyu, the protagonist of the Chinese classic A Dream of Red Mansions. Perhaps somewhat more jarring would be meeting that same character, or maybe just his spirit, in a small alley in modern-day southern China.
\n
These are just the sort of surreal experiences that await visitors to the Unique Dream of Red Mansion, an arts complex in Langfang, Hebei province that has become a popular attraction with more than just lovers of the classic book.
\n
Within the complex's ethereal architecture and alongside its bold art devices, a number of theatrical plays tapping into the novel's themes are performed. Each production offers a new interpretation of the story, which was written by Cao Xueqin during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), or the characters within.
\n
Rather than simply retelling the well-known tale, the productions recreate the book's protagonists and transplant them into different times and places, and have them interact with visitors. Among them, a popular character is Jia.
\n
The complex's Reader's Theater is a prime example of this creative approach. It is a "walking play" that departs from traditional static viewing, allowing the audience to move through different spaces.
\n
The play reimagines some of the most dramatic moments from the novel, including the famous inspection of the Daguan Garden and the fate of Jia.
\n
This immersive production, which includes a circular stage and specially created art installations, requires the audience to physically follow the story, creating a seamless and engaging narrative experience.
\n
Zhao Xinlong, an actor who portrays Jia in the Reader's Theater, provides a classic interpretation of the character. He describes Jia as a fundamentally "free, kind and gentle person".
\n
"Though, he's not completely free due to his identity. He is very simple, without any sense of hierarchy or social distinction," says Zhao.
\n
"The entire story is a continuous experience, showing a more complete and three-dimensional Jia."
\n
His performance covers Jia's playful interactions with Lin Daiyu, a beautiful and sentimental character in the novel. The play also depicts their painful conflicts and the psychological collapse that follows a misunderstanding on his wedding day.
\n
For Zhao, the theater's intimate setup created a unique challenge. Unlike a traditional stage, the audience is in very close proximity, seeing every detail.
\n
"The stage is so close to the audience," he says. "They can see all of your expressions, your every movement, your lines — even normally imperceptible micro-expressions. This environment demands a different kind of performance, allowing me to bring Jia's inner world of joy and sorrow to life in a more delicate and precise way for the audience."
\n
While the Reader's Theater immerses the audience in the classic story, a smaller theater, the Second Store, takes a distinctly different direction, presenting a contemporary interpretation.
\n
The play is set in a small alley in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, in 1974, and focuses on a young man named Wang Zhigang, a simple, kindhearted person whom others call Baoyu.
\n
According to the actor who plays Wang, Mo Yening, this nickname is intentionally designed.
\n
"Wang likes to read A Dream of Red Mansions and has a lot of qualities just like the main character Jia Baoyu," says Mo. "The two characters, Wang and Jia, share a connection in their actions and values."
\n
For his role, Mo undertook extensive research of the time period to ensure his portrayal of Wang's motivations were convincing.
\n
"I watched films and documentaries and, most importantly, I learned about more about the lives and stories of my grandparents. That way, I could better understand the character who lived in a similar era to them," Mo explains.
\n
"My character's motivation is simple. He doesn't want to see others suffer," says Mo, who emphasizes that the character's earnest desire is to help others, even when it puts him in a difficult position.
\n
Just like Jia from the novel, Wang spends most of his time with his female friends, and is misunderstood because of his behavior. However, like Jia, Wang treats women with respect and warm heartedness, helping them in a good way.
\n
The "send-off" segment at the end of some performances is particularly popular, allowing for direct interaction. Mo recalls many touching moments on the stage, including once when a young girl ran to check on him after a scene where Wang is unexpectedly stabbed. Mo says he would often receive handwritten cards from fans, which also deeply moved him.
\n
"It really brings out the kind side of everyone," says Mo.
\n
"The audience deeply experiences each performance," Zhao says. "These interactions highlight the personal connection audiences form with these reinterpretations of Jia."
\n
One of the central ideas of Unique Dream of Red Mansion is to reinterpret tradition for a modern audience. The complex's director, Wang Chaoge, describes the project as "reading history with the eyes of the times".
\n
She explains that the aim of these plays is to engage in a "creative transformation" that allows the traditional classic to find new and innovative expression in a contemporary context.
\n
By bringing the spirit of the novel's characters to life in a variety of settings — from a grand, immersive spectacle, to a nuanced, modern tale — she demonstrates that the themes of empathy and kindness found in the park's plays are as relevant today as they were centuries ago.

The complex's Reader's Theater is a prime example of this creative approach. It is a "walking play" that departs from traditional static viewing, allowing the audience to move through different spaces.
\n
The play reimagines some of the most dramatic moments from the novel, including the famous inspection of the Daguan Garden and the fate of Jia.
\n
This immersive production, which includes a circular stage and specially created art installations, requires the audience to physically follow the story, creating a seamless and engaging narrative experience.
\n
Zhao Xinlong, an actor who portrays Jia in the Reader's Theater, provides a classic interpretation of the character. He describes Jia as a fundamentally "free, kind and gentle person".
\n
"Though, he's not completely free due to his identity. He is very simple, without any sense of hierarchy or social distinction," says Zhao.
\n
"The entire story is a continuous experience, showing a more complete and three-dimensional Jia."
\n
His performance covers Jia's playful interactions with Lin Daiyu, a beautiful and sentimental character in the novel. The play also depicts their painful conflicts and the psychological collapse that follows a misunderstanding on his wedding day.
\n
For Zhao, the theater's intimate setup created a unique challenge. Unlike a traditional stage, the audience is in very close proximity, seeing every detail.
\n
"The stage is so close to the audience," he says. "They can see all of your expressions, your every movement, your lines — even normally imperceptible micro-expressions. This environment demands a different kind of performance, allowing me to bring Jia's inner world of joy and sorrow to life in a more delicate and precise way for the audience."
\n
While the Reader's Theater immerses the audience in the classic story, a smaller theater, the Second Store, takes a distinctly different direction, presenting a contemporary interpretation.
\n
The play is set in a small alley in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, in 1974, and focuses on a young man named Wang Zhigang, a simple, kindhearted person whom others call Baoyu.
\n
According to the actor who plays Wang, Mo Yening, this nickname is intentionally designed.
\n
"Wang likes to read A Dream of Red Mansions and has a lot of qualities just like the main character Jia Baoyu," says Mo. "The two characters, Wang and Jia, share a connection in their actions and values."
\n
For his role, Mo undertook extensive research of the time period to ensure his portrayal of Wang's motivations were convincing.
\n
"I watched films and documentaries and, most importantly, I learned about more about the lives and stories of my grandparents. That way, I could better understand the character who lived in a similar era to them," Mo explains.
\n
"My character's motivation is simple. He doesn't want to see others suffer," says Mo, who emphasizes that the character's earnest desire is to help others, even when it puts him in a difficult position.
\n
Just like Jia from the novel, Wang spends most of his time with his female friends, and is misunderstood because of his behavior. However, like Jia, Wang treats women with respect and warm heartedness, helping them in a good way.
\n
The "send-off" segment at the end of some performances is particularly popular, allowing for direct interaction. Mo recalls many touching moments on the stage, including once when a young girl ran to check on him after a scene where Wang is unexpectedly stabbed. Mo says he would often receive handwritten cards from fans, which also deeply moved him.
\n
"It really brings out the kind side of everyone," says Mo.
\n
"The audience deeply experiences each performance," Zhao says. "These interactions highlight the personal connection audiences form with these reinterpretations of Jia."
\n
One of the central ideas of Unique Dream of Red Mansion is to reinterpret tradition for a modern audience. The complex's director, Wang Chaoge, describes the project as "reading history with the eyes of the times".
\n
She explains that the aim of these plays is to engage in a "creative transformation" that allows the traditional classic to find new and innovative expression in a contemporary context.
\n
By bringing the spirit of the novel's characters to life in a variety of settings — from a grand, immersive spectacle, to a nuanced, modern tale — she demonstrates that the themes of empathy and kindness found in the park's plays are as relevant today as they were centuries ago.
Wei Wei (first right) sets the backdrop for a family portrait of tourists from Xi'an, Shaanxi province, at Agan Photo Studio in Lanzhou, Gansu province.
\n
Agan Photo Studio has seen its appeal rise on social media, attracting numerous tourists to document their memories.
\n
Wei, the studio owner, examines negatives the old-fashioned way before choosing which photos to develop.
\n
A wall of portraits provides a glimpse of bygone days while nostalgia for another era entices a new generation.
\n
In the darkroom, Wei carefully develops photos and makes prints.
\n
Wei packs photos before mailing them to customers.
\n
Wei Jiexiong, Wei Wei's father, examines a photo in the studio's darkroom in 2023.
\n
In Agan town, 20 kilometers southeast of Lanzhou's Qilihe district in Northwest China's Gansu province, a flicker of magnesium light pierces through 50 years of dust, still glowing in the window of Agan Photo Studio.
\n
This beam illuminates more than just yellowing film negatives — it captures the collective memory of a community shaped by the country's industrial past and digital present.
\n
Inside the cramped studio, 44-year-old Wei Wei adjusts his father's relic: a wooden large-format Seagull camera older than he is.
\n
As tourists queue for portraits, the vintage device — once used to photograph coal miners' sweat-streaked grins, children's wide-eyed wonder, and labor models' proud gazes — now freezes moments for a new generation seeking nostalgia in the digital age.
\n
Though analog photography — photography that uses a progressively changing recording medium that is either chemical-process based or electronic — took a backseat with the rise of digital photography, a renewed interest in the vintage process has since emerged at the photo studio.
\n
Founded in 1972 as a state-owned enterprise, the studio became a visual chronicle of its milestones under Wei's father Wei Jiexiong, who joined in 1974. At that time, photographers from the studio were often invited to take photos during festivals or celebrations in town.
\n
At the busiest period, Wei Jiexiong would start at 7 in the morning and work until late at night.
\n
Wei Wei spent his childhood in the studio with his father.
\n
The young man at that time watched, then learned: mixing chemicals, loading plates, framing shots.
\n
He recalls: "My father would shoot and print more than 100 photos on a busy day.
\n
"I'd assist him, then try myself. I wanted to preserve people's stories too, like what my father did," he says.
\n
When his father passed away last year, Wei Wei inherited both the studio and its analog legacy.
\n
For Wei Wei, this is not only a family trade, but also about safeguarding authentic stories sealed in monochrome.
\n
In recent years, Agan Photo Studio gained popularity on social media, attracting numerous tourists who come to document their memories.
\n
The studio has not only preserved the fondest memories for the town's residents but also borne witness to social development and transformation.
\n
All this through an appreciation for the past.

An African media delegation poses for a group photo in front of the stone monument that mentions the philosophy that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" in Anji county, Zhejiang province, on May 15.
\n
On a wooden shelf in his three-story home in Anji county of Zhejiang province, Ge Yuande keeps a stone — smooth, pale and vaguely shaped like a miner wearing a helmet — as the most treasured piece in his collection.
\n
The 63-year-old picked it up more than 20 years ago from a quarry in Yucun, his native village in Anji, where he once made a living extracting and selling stone. Back then, the hills were stripped bare, the air was thick with dust, and streams ran gray with industrial runoff.
\n
"I used to sell stone to make a living," Ge said in his living room, now lined with shelves full of stone sculptures. "But back then, it polluted everything. Now I still sell stone — but as art and as culture."
\n
Yucun's transformation — from a dusty quarry village to a model of rural vitalization and green development — epitomizes China's heightened emphasis on sustainable growth over the past two decades.
\n
In 2005, the village was standing at a crossroads. Its last quarry had just been closed, a decision that left villagers anxious about their livelihoods. The village's collective income plummeted from 3 million yuan ($417,600) to just 300,000 yuan that year.
\n
At this pivotal moment, Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Communist Party of China Zhejiang Provincial Committee, visited the village on Aug 15, 2005, and offered residents a powerful message of reassurance.
\n
During a meeting with villagers, Xi said the closure was a "wise step" and introduced what would become a guiding principle of China's environmental policy: "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets."
\n
In a column published in Zhejiang Daily a week after the visit, Xi expanded on the idea: "By transforming ecological and environmental strengths into advantages in eco-agriculture, eco-industry and eco-tourism, lucid waters and lush mountains can truly become invaluable assets."
\n
In 2020, Xi — now Chinese president and general secretary of the CPC Central Committee — returned to the county. The phrase "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" had by then become a national consensus and a core tenet of China's new development philosophy.
\n
"Experience has shown that economic growth cannot come at the expense of the environment," Xi told the villagers.
\n
Yu Xiaoping, deputy Party secretary of Yucun village, said the closure of quarries and continuous environmental improvements had opened up space for eco-tourism. Visitors now come for river rafting, fruit picking and rural guesthouse stays.
\n
Zhang Jianguo, executive vice-dean of the Institute for Sustainable Development at Huzhou University, noted that by prioritizing green, low-carbon development and preserving its environment, Anji has translated ecological assets into real economic and social gains.
\n
By giving top priority to environmental protection, the county has ensured that its air quality remains excellent on more than 90 percent of days. Surface water, drinking water and cross-boundary water all consistently meet national standards.
\n
Over the past 20 years, the average annual per capita disposable income of Anji's rural residents rose from 7,034 yuan to 48,879 yuan — a nearly sevenfold increase.
\n
"Anji's long-term, consistent approach to preserving its environment has produced a compelling case study in sustainable development — one with growing relevance not only in China but globally," Zhang said.
\n
Enhanced protection
\n
Today, more than 70 percent of Anji is covered in forest, much of it bamboo. Once-overlooked villages are now home to pocket parks, hiking trails, open-air teahouses, and even artisanal coffee shops.
\n
Zheng Xuli, a senior engineer at Lingfengsi Forest Farm, patrols 120 hectares of forest land. Once a logging supervisor, he now focuses on conservation — from monitoring of termite infestations to forest maintenance.
\n
"In the past, forestry was about cutting and planting," Zheng said. "Now it's about watching, caring and minimizing harm."
\n
The biggest shift, he said, has been philosophical: "We treat the forest as an asset that gains value over time — not something to consume."
\n
Technology is also reshaping how Anji protects its environment. AI-powered drones and autonomous boats are now used to monitor rivers for illegal dumping and construction.
\n
"Before, it took weeks to patrol all our waterways," said Ye Liang, director of the river chief office with Anji county's water resources bureau. "Now drones and AI can do it in a single day. Problems are caught early, before they escalate."
\n
In 2022, Anji launched the Global Partnership Initiative, aimed at attracting digital nomads, green startups and remote workers to settle in the county.
\n
To local officials' surprise, the initiative gained rapid momentum. By the end of 2024, more than 50,000 young people had come to Anji to start businesses or seek job opportunities.
\n
Xu Liang, a cyclist and entrepreneur, said Anji's location near Yangtze River Delta cities and its clean environment are major draws for young professionals.
\n
"For many young people, the countryside is more than a retreat," Xu said. "It's a place to explore new ideas, new directions and entrepreneurial opportunities beyond the city."
\n
Javier Ghaemi, a British expatriate, arrived in Anji in April with his girlfriend after a friend in Shanghai told them about a gym for rent. Within hours, they had made the decision to move from Malaysia to the county.
\n
They took over a dormant gym nestled in the hills and transformed it into a lifestyle hub offering yoga classes, wellness workshops and forest hikes.
\n
From his gym, perched above a bamboo grove, Ghaemi has found both peace and purpose.
\n
"For me, I want to help build Anji up," he said. "To promote it, and to show Westerners the reality of life here. I think the misconceptions are huge. Even if I can just show a few friends, have them visit, do a workout — they'll see that we're all the same. We all have the same dreams."
\n
Patrick Nijs, former Belgian ambassador to China, said that Xi demonstrated a clear vision when he proposed the philosophy that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" in 2005.
\n
"Back then, most people were still debating what 'going green' even meant," Nijs said. "So he introduced this concept in a very clear and poetic way — something that resonates deeply with the Chinese mind."
\n
Nijs now considers Anji one of his homes. "I'm a big fan of Xi Jinping because I think he is a visionary," he said.
\n
What Anji offers, Nijs added, is a development model rooted in culture, continuity and care.
\n
He pointed out that this philosophy has also underpinned China's sweeping investments in renewable energy. "China has invested in all facets of green energy — hydropower, solar panels, biomass, wind power and nuclear power — and is now a global leader."
