"description": "<div></div><p> China and the United States on Tuesday extended the pause on tariff hikes on each other's goods for another 90 days, a move that market watchers and exporters said will help address trade frictions through dialogue and ease anxieties of businesses.</p>\n<p> They said the latest reciprocal move on tariffs is expected to stabilize bilateral trade relations by injecting more certainty into markets and businesses in both countries.</p>\n<p> The US will continue to modify the application of the additional ad valorem rate of duty on imports from China, by suspending 24 percentage points of that rate for an additional period of 90 days, starting on Tuesday, according to a joint statement on the China-US economic and trade meeting in Stockholm released by the Ministry of Commerce on Tuesday.</p>\n<p> The joint statement added that China will also continue to suspend 24 percentage points of additional ad valorem rate of duty on imports from the US as well as related nontariff countermeasures for another 90 days, starting on Tuesday.</p>\n<p> The sheer scale of the trade volume between China and the US last year — nearly $700 billion — speaks for itself. According to Chen Wenling, former chief economist at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, this isn't a product of one-sided pressure. It is a reflection of deep-seated market needs and mutual economic benefit on both sides of the Pacific.</p>\n<p> "The two countries' complementary strengths and the vast potential for cooperation are clear, but the key lies in genuine equality and good faith at the negotiating table to seek new collaboration models," Chen said.</p>\n<p> Brad Lich, executive vice-president of Eastman, a US specialty materials manufacturer, said that stable China-US business ties would bolster business confidence and ensure the smooth flow of goods, services and technology across the Pacific, enabling companies on both sides to make long-term plans and investments.</p>\n<p> Eager to enhance its earning strength and ramp up the output of its automotive film products, Eastman launched two production lines at its plant in Dalian, Liaoning province, in June.</p>\n<p> Wang Wen, dean of Renmin University of China's Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, said the world's two largest economies need to be prepared for an enduring process before sealing a final deal.</p>\n<p> A trade agreement between them cannot be finalized as quickly as Washington has achieved with other countries, Wang said.</p>\n<p> Even so, Tu Xinquan, director at the University of International Business and Economics' China Institute for World Trade Organization Studies, said the latest US move on China tariffs has been along expected lines.</p>\n<p> "This outcome should also be regarded as a choice that the US side had no alternative but to make," Tu said, adding that the impact of the punitive tariffs became evident in April, prompting the Geneva talks the following month.</p>\n<p> Sean Stein, president of the US-China Business Council, said the extension is "critical" to give the two governments time to negotiate a trade agreement and provide the certainty needed for businesses to make medium- and long-term plans, The Associated Press reported.</p>\n<p> US-China relations and tariffs are the top concerns of US companies doing business in China, according to the annual USCBC Member Survey released last month.</p>\n<p> Zhang Enhui, director of operation unit at Ningbo Lingyue Intelligent Equipment, a lawn mower manufacturer based in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, called the extended tariff truce a real boost for the company's confidence, given that the US accounts for more than half of its market.</p>\n<p> "Under the pressure of tariff fluctuations between China and the US, we have leveraged every window of opportunity to work closely with our US clients this year, sustaining growth in exports to the US against the overall downward trend," Zhang said.</p>\n<p> Driven mainly by its latest cruise-control lawn mowers, the company's exports to the US reached 423 million yuan ($58.87 million) between January and July, surging 25.49 percent year-on-year, data from Ningbo Customs showed.</p>\n<p> In addition to recognizing China's production capacity, US companies are also paying close attention to the country's supply chain strength and innovation capabilities.</p>\n<p> Enrique Lores, president and CEO of US technology company HP Inc, said the group still maintains a solid manufacturing base in China, with operations serving both the Chinese market and multiple other countries — a plan that applies now and in the future.</p>\n<p> HP now operates the world's largest computer manufacturing base and printer manufacturing base in China, Lores said.</p>\n<p> Zhang Monan, deputy director of the Institute of American and Line truncated

"description": "<div></div><p> The Ministry of Public Security's Criminal Investigation Bureau disclosed new details surrounding the 2024 breakthrough in the Wuwangdun tomb robbery case on Sunday, unpacking a six-year investigation filled with gang betrayals and cutting-edge forensic technology — its twists and turns rivaling a suspense thriller.</p>\n<p> In June 2024, Huainan police in Anhui province successfully cracked the high-profile case involving the robbery of the Wuwangdun tomb. After six years of investigation, police arrested 49 suspects and recovered 113 priceless artifacts last year, shedding light on the secrets hidden within the more than 2,000-year-old tomb.</p>\n<p> The Wuwangdun tomb, located in Huainan, is the largest in scale, highest in rank and most structurally complex Chu state tomb ever excavated through scientific measures to date, as recognized by the National Cultural Heritage Administration. It is identified as the final resting place of King Kaolie of Chu, who reigned during the late Warring States Period (475-221 BC).</p>\n<p> According to a statement released by the ministry on Sunday, between 2015 and 2018, tomb raiding gangs repeatedly infiltrated the site, causing significant cultural heritage loss. The case came to light in June 2018 when Huainan police received a tip from the Ministry of Public Security and swiftly formed a special task force. Through advanced big data analytics, investigators traced key suspects to Henan province, exposing a sprawling criminal network extending across several provinces.</p>\n<p> The gang operated under the guise of "earthwork engineering "companies, employing specialized vehicles and walkie-talkies to evade detection. After multiple thefts from Wuwangdun, they planned to blast open the tomb of Lian Po, a famous general during the Warring States Period.</p>\n<p> In a major operation on Nov 5,2018, over 200 police officers simultaneously raided locations across several provinces, capturing 19 suspects and confiscating explosives, detonators and specialized tools to raid tombs.</p>\n<p> Investigators prioritized tracking the illicit flow of stolen artifacts, uncovering internal disputes among gang members. Notably, a suspect surnamed Zhang took advantage of a moment when his accomplices were not paying attention to secretly hide a valuable bronze "tiger-seat phoenix-emitting drum" in his hometown in Henan. Police eventually recovered the artifact.</p>\n<p> Another suspect, surnamed Sun, secretly made off with a pair of gilded bronze rings behind his accomplices' backs. The rings were retrieved after a three-month cross-border investigation involving the Ministry of Public Security and customs in Shenzhen, Guangdong province.</p>\n<p> The exposure of the robbery prompted the National Cultural Heritage Administration to authorize urgent archaeological excavation of the Wuwangdun site, initiated in 2020. In 2024, newly uncovered robbery sketches and abandoned modern tools found at the dig site provided critical leads that reinvigorated the case.</p>\n<p> Police re-interrogated key suspects using advanced forensic accounting and digital evidence analysis, leading to 14 more arrests in Shaanxi and Henan provinces and the recovery of an additional 35 artifacts, including fragmented sets of Chu bronze bells and stone chimes that were later painstakingly restored to their original form.</p>\n<p> Ultimately, authorities arrested 49 suspects and recovered 113 precious artifacts — including 28 classified as top-tier national treasures.</p>\n<p> The excavation of the Wuwangdun tomb received significant recognition in 2024, named among the "top new archaeological discoveries" by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and selected as one of the "top 10 national archaeological finds" by the National Cultural Heritage Administration.</p>\n<p> <span>luowangshu@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

The risk levels are classified into four tiers from extremely low risk to high risk.</p>\n<p> An extremely low risk assessment only requires continuous implementation of regular monitoring, while a low-risk evaluation should prompt the release of health risk advisories to the public.</p>\n<p> "A health risk advisory is supposed to include pathogenic and epidemic characteristics of the disease, typical clinical symptoms, recent monitoring results, key control and preventive measures," it said. "Such an advisory should be scientific, clear, easy to understand and capable of being disseminated through various channels."</p>\n<p> With a medium-risk assessment, medical institutions and other related departments should take professional precautionary measures. Disease control authorities will consider issuing a warning, which is meant to be circulated across related government departments and healthcare institutions.</p>\n<p> A warning will include information about the hazards of the disease, the range of affected areas, development trends and suggestions on personnel technical training, supplies preparation, case identification and reporting procedures, ventilation and disinfection at key venues and other preventive measures, the guideline said.</p>\n<p> With a high-risk evaluation, disease control agencies should make reports to disease control authorities within two hours, who in turn will gather experts to further analyze and evaluate the severity of epidemic risk and determine if an alert should be issued by the regional government.</p>\n<p> The guideline also requests encouraging and supporting the use of digital technologies to define warning thresholds, as well as calls for the establishment of an epidemic database and related algorithm model libraries to build a multi-trigger and smart early warning system.</p>\n<p> It stresses providing necessary personnel, funding, equipment, infrastructure and policy support, as well as strengthening cross-department cooperation to facilitate early warning operations.</p>\n<p> "The early warning information should be clear, accurate, authoritative and professional, and pay attention to protecting personal privacy," it added.</p>\n<p> China aims to build a highly-efficient infectious early warning mechanism featuring multi-trigger points and swift dissemination by 2030, positioning itself among world-leading ranks in the field of early detection, scientific assessment and prompt early warning of epidemics.</p>\n<p> According to Lei Zhenglong, an official at the administration, China has carried out surveillance for the novel coronavirus, influenza and other acute respiratory diseases at 1,041 sentinel hospitals, covering all municipal-level regions and key counties.</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, various monitoring channels, including vector organisms, urban sewage, global trends and public opinions, have been used to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of monitoring.</p>\n<p> The central finance also invested funds in 2023 and 2024 to support the establishment of provincial-level information platforms, with Beijing, Tianjin and the provinces of Hubei and Zhejiang having completed initial construction.</p>\n<p> As of the end of last year, about 71 percent of secondary or tertiary public hospitals had been equipped with smart surveillance and early warning software as part of efforts to use novel technologies to improve analysis and assessments of epidemic data, Lei said.</p>\n<p> <span>wangxiaoyu@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p><br><hr><div>获取更多RSS：<br><a href=\"https://feedx.net\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.net</a> <br><a href=\"https://feedx.site\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.site</a><br></div>",

Disease control authorities will consider issuing a warning, which is meant to be circulated across related government departments and healthcare institutions.</p>\n<p> A warning will include information about the hazards of the disease, the range of affected areas, development trends and suggestions on personnel technical training, supplies preparation, case identification and reporting procedures, ventilation and disinfection at key venues and other preventive measures, the guideline said.</p>\n<p> With a high-risk evaluation, disease control agencies should make reports to disease control authorities within two hours, who in turn will gather experts to further analyze and evaluate the severity of epidemic risk and determine if an alert should be issued by the regional government.</p>\n<p> The guideline also requests encouraging and supporting the use of digital technologies to define warning thresholds, as well as calls for the establishment of an epidemic database and related algorithm model libraries to build a multi-trigger and smart early warning system.</p>\n<p> It stresses providing necessary personnel, funding, equipment, infrastructure and policy support, as well as strengthening cross-department cooperation to facilitate early warning operations.</p>\n<p> "The early warning information should be clear, accurate, authoritative and professional, and pay attention to protecting personal privacy," it added.</p>\n<p> China aims to build a highly-efficient infectious early warning mechanism featuring multi-trigger points and swift dissemination by 2030, positioning itself among world-leading ranks in the field of early detection, scientific assessment and prompt early warning of epidemics.</p>\n<p> According to Lei Zhenglong, an official at the administration, China has carried out surveillance for the novel coronavirus, influenza and other acute respiratory diseases at 1,041 sentinel hospitals, covering all municipal-level regions and key counties.</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, various monitoring channels, including vector organisms, urban sewage, global trends and public opinions, have been used to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of monitoring.</p>\n<p> The central finance also invested funds in 2023 and 2024 to support the establishment of provincial-level information platforms, with Beijing, Tianjin and the provinces of Hubei and Zhejiang having completed initial construction.</p>\n<p> As of the end of last year, about 71 percent of secondary or tertiary public hospitals had been equipped with smart surveillance and early warning software as part of efforts to use novel technologies to improve analysis and assessments of epidemic data, Lei said.</p>\n<p> <span>wangxiaoyu@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p><br><hr><div>获取更多RSS：<br><a href=\"https://feedx.net\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.net</a> <br><a href=\"https://feedx.site\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.site</a><br></div>",

These bracelets — each unique in its bead arrangement and showing signs of manual craftsmanship — bring hope to around 50 households with disabled people in Jingshan town in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province.</p>\n<p> "Having experienced employment challenges myself as a disabled person, I opened this craft store to create job opportunities for others like me," said Zhang Ruixia, the store's manager, seated in her wheelchair.</p>\n<p> The 36-year-old added that the orange color that dominates the store's logo, packaging and interior design was chosen for its warmth and inclusivity.</p>\n<p> Semi-paralyzed after a surgical mishap in 2016, Zhang initially sank into despair but managed to pull herself together within just six months.</p>\n<p> She then attempted various jobs — including as a graphic designer at an advertising agency and a telephone customer service staffer at a wheelchair retailer — but found that "these jobs demanded prolonged sitting, which the body simply couldn't endure".</p>\n<p> When Xu Hui, a public welfare worker, reached out to Zhang last year, she had already opened a small craft store in her hometown of Henan province after teaching herself various weaving techniques and beadwork designs through online videos.</p>\n<p> "Xu and I talked about how society is becoming more inclusive to people with disability, yet families with disabled people still face significant employment barriers, including some people who are unable to leave their homes to work, and mothers of those with intellectual disabilities struggling to take on full-time jobs," Zhang said. "I deeply resonated with his sentiments, so when he mentioned the Jingshan town project, I was like, 'That's it. Let's do it together.'"</p>\n<p> Previously, support for people with disabilities mainly involved providing supplies and skills training, but they often remained unemployed in the end, Xu said.</p>\n<p> "Our preliminary research found that what companies care about most is not who makes the product, but its quality. People with disabilities often demonstrate meticulous attention to detail and cherish every job opportunity, making them well-suited for craftwork," Xu said.</p>\n<p> The project — primarily targeting large companies, with additional sales channels through e-commerce platforms and physical stores — aims to secure stable orders, enabling disabled individuals to work either from home or at the workshop, on a part-time or full-time basis, Xu said.</p>\n<p> Recognizing the feasibility and practicality of the project, the local government extended substantial support to expedite the store's opening. This involved streamlining the verification process for their volunteer group "Better and Better" and offering the physical store and the workshop at rents only covering water and electricity expenses, he added.</p>\n<p> "To distinguish the bracelets from others, we have creatively incorporated Jingshan tea into the bead-making process," Zhang said, adding that the tea, as one of Zhejiang's top 10 famous teas, is not only a local specialty but also a crucial cultural origin of the Japanese tea ceremony.</p>\n<p> After three months of trials, Zhang finally developed a composite crafting technique that builds on traditional incense bead-making methods, with aged Jingshan tea as the primary raw material. This process involves grinding the tea leaves into a powder finer than 120 mesh (about 0.125 millimeters), blending it with an optimized ratio of plant-based adhesives, mechanically kneading the mixture to achieve cohesion, and finally drying it in the shade for structural stabilization.</p>\n<p> The store opened in October, and businesses have offered the store partnership opportunities. In addition, around 50 disabled people have come forward to apply. They are able to take orders and be paid per piece after training.</p>\n<p> Bai Yunfeng, a man in his late 40s who is crippled by polio, exhibits surprising dexterity despite lacking prior experience in bracelet making. He is capable of completing a simple design in just a couple of minutes.</p>\n<p> "I used to work at a mechanical equipment assembly factory. However, this store has provided me with another fulfilling opportunity," Bai said. "Besides closer proximity to home and better pay, I feel like we are not objects of pity, but rather treated equally and valued for our capabilities here, which is very important to me."</p>\n<p> Zhang said: "I hope to eLine truncated

"title": "008COMMENT - Tariff truce gains time for talks although some tough issues remain to be resolved",
|

"description": "<div></div><p> A joint statement on the China-US economic and trade meeting held in Stockholm was issued hours before a trade truce between Washington and Beijing was due to expire on Tuesday.</p>\n<p> Although it came two weeks after the Sino-US trade talks in the Swedish capital concluded on July 29, the extended truce should be seen as the latest outcome of the two sides' efforts to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during their June 5 telephone call. It is a concrete result of their economic and trade consultations in Stockholm after the two sides' dialogues in Geneva in May and London in June.</p>\n<p> China will continue to suspend its tariff hike for 90 days, starting Tuesday, while retaining the 10-percent duty. It will also take necessary measures to suspend or remove nontariff countermeasures against the US, according to the statement.</p>\n<p> Hours later, China announced that it has continued to suspend the unreliable entity list measures put in place on April 4 for an additional 90 days, and it will remove the measures announced on April 9 on certain US entities, effective from Tuesday. Notably, the extension until early November also accommodates the US' seasonal surge in imports for the Christmas season.</p>\n<p> US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on the same day extending the suspension of tariffs on China for another 90 days. The order not only recognized the "significant steps" China has been taking but also expressed the US side's readiness to continue to "have discussions" with China to address their trade differences.</p>\n<p> All these are signs of the two sides sustaining their common understanding that they need to continue talking in the spirit of equality and respect for each other's concerns. The extended trade truce buys time for the two countries to work out some of their differences in not only trade but also some other fields, and it has thus been welcomed by the parties hoping to see Sino-US ties' steadying.</p>\n<p> As Sean Stein, president of the US-China Business Council, told the media, the extension is "critical" to give the two governments time to negotiate a trade agreement that US businesses hope will improve their market access in China and provide the certainty needed for companies to make medium- and long-term plans.</p>\n<p> It is the demonstrated willingness of the two sides to settle their trade differences through dialogue and negotiation that has served to meet hopes that they will be able to handle their trade differences in a responsible way through appropriate means. After imposing astounding three-digit tariff rates on China that left Beijing no choice but to fight back, "The US has realized it does not have the upper hand," Claire Reade, senior counsel at Arnold & Porter and former assistant US trade representative for China affairs, told the Associated Press.</p>\n<p> But there remains a lot of work to be done if the two sides are to reach a comprehensive and fair trade deal. Not to mention that the US side needs to stop putting new obstacles in the way, such as its so-called "secondary tariffs" that it has justified citing China's normal trade with Russia and its exploitative approach to high-tech trade with China, as well as its embedding of China-related articles in its trade talks with third parties.</p>\n<p> The Italian government reportedly wants to reduce or cancel Chinese stakes in a series of key Italian companies including Pirelli, Ansaldo Energia and CDP Reti, in order to avoid problems with the US. Similar concerns have been expressed by the European Union, Southeast Asian countries and other major trading partners of China. But as the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said, China-Italy investment cooperation is mutually beneficial and never targets any third party, nor should it be disrupted by any third party. This is true of China's cooperation with any other economy.</p>\n<p> The US is leveraging tariffs to try and eat the bread of both sides it has battered — China as well as the US tech companies trading with China, especially those in the semiconductor industry. Earlier, the US administration confirmed an unprecedented deal with Nvidia and AMD, which have agreed to the US government taking a 15 percent cut of the revenue from sales of some chips in China.</p>\n<p> There remain many tough knots to be untangled, and tensions might continue for a long time. The US side should recognize that its economic and trade consultation mechanism with China is a means to help the two sides settle differences and stop putting unbearable weight on it. Dialogue and cooperation remain the correct choice for the two countries to ease the damaging trade frictions between them.</p>\n<p></p><br><hr><div>获取更多RSS：<br><a href=\"https://feedx.net\" style=\"colLine truncated

"description": "<div></div><p> Editor's Note: China has introduced visa-free entry and signed visa exemption agreements with 75 countries as part of its efforts to promote international exchanges. As a result, the country's inbound tourism has gained momentum, with 13.64 million visa-free inbound trips made by foreigners in the first half of 2025, up 53.9 percent year-on-year. In an interview with People's Daily Overseas Edition, Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy, emphasized the success of the visa-free policy and suggested measures to further develop inbound tourism in China. Below are excerpts from the interview. The views don't necessarily represent those of China Daily.</p>\n<p> Facilitating visa procedures is the first step toward attracting foreign visitors. But over the past year, while China has continuously improved its visa-free policy, it has also enriched its tourism offerings for inbound visitors. Several payment facilitation measures have been introduced, making it convenient for overseas travelers. These steps have significantly boosted not only inbound travel to China but also the length of stay for transit passengers.</p>\n<p> Data released by the National Immigration Administration show that the number of foreign visitors entering China visa free saw a sharp increase in the first half of this year. An increasing number of foreign tourists are coming to China to savor its cuisine, admire its scenery and experience an open, modern and vibrant nation.</p>\n<p> There has been a marked increase in visitors from countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative as well as other neighboring countries. For example, with the launch of the cross-border tourism train StarExpress that connects China and Laos, and the resumption of the China-Vietnam international passenger rail service, there has been a surge of travelers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.</p>\n<p> Also, the pattern of travel by overseas visitors in China is changing. Many tourists are showing a strong interest in the country's high-speed rail and new types of tourist spots and cultural spaces, such as trendy urban districts and theme parks. They are curious to know about the daily life of the Chinese people.</p>\n<p> Today, an increasing number of overseas tourists are choosing China's second- and third-tier cities as their destinations, opting for self-driving tours and independent travel to experience China beyond its metropolises in order to gain a deeper understanding of local customs and traditions and take home a more authentic, multidimensional and comprehensive impression of China.</p>\n<p> The surge of "China travel" has promoted the trend of "China shopping". According to the State Taxation Administration, the number of tourists claiming tax refunds shot up 186 percent year-on-year in the first half of 2025, while sales of tax-refunded goods grew 94.6 percent and total refund amounts rose 93.2 percent.</p>\n<p> The uptick in China's inbound tourism consumption is an encouraging sign. Global experience shows that the higher the quality of life in a country, the more it attracts visitors and stimulates spending. China's visa-free policy showcases an open, confident and proactive national image to the world.</p>\n<p> Relevant departments should take note of the new trends emerging in inbound tourism. As more and more overseas visitors opt for independent travel rather than group tours, destinations should be presented to them in a more direct and authentic way. Tourists should also be provided convenient services such as audio guides and multilingual reception. In addition, given that international travel often involves considerable planning, the focus should be on stability and predictability in visa and travel policies.</p>\n<p></p>",

"description": "<div></div><p> WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump said on Monday that his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska will be a "feel-out meeting" as European countries stressed that Ukraine must be able to "choose its destiny".</p>\n<p> The US president has spent the first few months of his second term in office trying to broker peace in Ukraine, but multiple rounds of talks have so far failed to yield a breakthrough.</p>\n<p> Trump and Putin will hold a summit in Alaska on Friday in a bid to halt the Ukraine conflict.</p>\n<p> It will be the first meeting between the sitting US and Russian presidents since former US president Joe Biden met Putin in Geneva in June 2021.</p>\n<p> "This is really a feel-out meeting a little bit," Trump told reporters at the White House.</p>\n<p> "I'm going to speak to Vladimir Putin and I'm going to be telling him 'you've got to end this war,'" Trump said, adding that he would "like to see a ceasefire very, very quickly".</p>\n<p> "I think we'll have constructive conversations," said the president, noting he would seek out Putin's "parameters" for peace, then call Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders right after the meeting.</p>\n<p> Moscow hopes the upcoming meeting in Alaska will give momentum to the normalization of relations between the two countries, TASS news agency reported on Tuesday.</p>\n<p> "We hope that the upcoming high-level meeting will give an impulse to the normalization of bilateral relations," TASS cited Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov as saying.</p>\n<p> Trump said last week that "there'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both" Ukraine and Russia, a suggestion Zelensky rejected.</p>\n<p> The Ukrainian president warned on Saturday that "decisions without Ukraine" would not bring peace and said his country's people "will not give their land to the occupier".</p>\n<p> Trump said he was a "little bothered" by Zelensky's stance on territorial concessions, and insisted that land swaps would take place.</p>\n<p> Trump also stated that he would not make a unilateral agreement: "I'm not going to make a deal, it's not up to me to make a deal," he said, while emphasizing that he thinks "a deal should be made".</p>\n<p> <b>Diplomatic efforts</b></p>\n<p> Meanwhile, Zelensky said Russia was preparing its troops for a new offensive instead of getting ready to stop the conflict in Ukraine, after he spoke to the leaders of India and Saudi Arabia on Monday as part of efforts to mobilize support for Kyiv beyond Europe.</p>\n<p> "There is no sign that the Russians have received signals to prepare for a postwar situation," he said on Monday night.</p>\n<p> Zelensky has won diplomatic backing from Europe and the NATO alliance.</p>\n<p> EU leaders stressed on Tuesday "the inherent right of Ukraine to choose its own destiny".</p>\n<p> "A just and lasting peace that brings stability and security must respect international law, including the principles of independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity and that international borders must not be changed by force," a statement said.</p>\n<p> German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has invited the French, British and other European leaders and the EU and NATO chiefs for virtual talks on Wednesday.</p>\n<p> Merz's office said on Monday the leaders would discuss "further options to exert pressure on Russia" and "preparation of possible peace negotiations and related issues of territorial claims and security".</p>\n<p> EU foreign ministers met in Brussels on Monday with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and also examined imposing a 19th package of sanctions on Russia.</p>\n<p> On the battlefield, Ukraine has retaken two villages in its eastern region of Sumy, Kyiv's military said, adding to recent small territorial gains along the border.</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, Russian air defense forces shot down 25 Ukrainian drones overnight over the Rostov region and Stavropol Krai, Russia's TASS state news agency reported on Tuesday, citing the Russian defense ministry.</p>\n<p></p>",

Chinese tea products have seen a significant surge in the United States in recent years.</p>\n<p> While coffee remains the dominant drink in the United States, tea has seen a significant surge in popularity.</p>\n<p> "I love tea for its many flavors," said Robert Coakley, 41, who prefers tea over coffee and takes it just a little sweet. "I don't need that much sugar."</p>\n<p> Tea is offered in a diverse range of preparation styles: sweet tea brewed with sugar, bubble tea, or simply enjoyed plain.</p>\n<p> Over 159 million US citizens drink tea on any given day, according to the US Census Bureau.</p>\n<p> "Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world next to water, and can be found in almost 80 percent of all US households," the Census Bureau said.</p>\n<p> However, rising tea prices combined with the US administration's unpredictable tariffs are expected to impact consumers. "The price of everything is going up. Passing the tariffs on to consumers is inevitable," Liu Zhongming, who has been running Grand Tea and Imports for almost 30 years in Manhattan, told China Daily.</p>\n<p> Grand Tea and Imports currently has a substantial inventory purchased before the tariffs took effect, but once they begin importing under the new tariffs, those additional costs will ultimately be passed on to customers.</p>\n<p> Liu's store serves both the local Chinese community seeking to preserve their tea culture as well as discerning enthusiasts who look beyond mainstream brands like Lipton and Twinings. It offers a wide range of selections.</p>\n<p> Almost 90 percent of US adults say they're stressed about the cost of groceries, according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.</p>\n<p> The Consumer Price Index saw a 3 percent increase in food prices over the past year, with groceries up 2.4 percent and dining out 3.8 percent more expensive than a year ago.</p>\n<p> From June 2024 to June 2025, grocery prices rose across every category tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nonalcoholic beverages are now 4.4 percent more expensive than they were a year ago. Yale University's Budget Lab says tariffs will drive those prices up even higher.</p>\n<p> According to The Observatory of Economic Complexity, the US imported $550 million worth of tea in 2024, up from $514 million in 2023. China, the world's largest exporter, shipped approximately $55.5 million worth of tea to the US last year, ranking fourth among US suppliers behind Japan, India and Argentina.</p>\n<p> As the birthplace of tea cultivation, drinking and culture, China is home to the world's oldest tea trees, with records showing the Chinese have been drinking tea for over 3,000 years, according to the National Institutes of Health. Green tea accounts for 83.7 percent of China's exports, followed by black and oolong.</p>\n<p> <b>Healthy beverage</b></p>\n<p> Green tea is a particularly healthy beverage, according to an article by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. It offers a range of benefits, including lowering blood sugar levels, preventing tooth decay, and potentially reducing the risk of certain types of cancer due to its high concentration of catechins, a type of polyphenol that helps lower the risk of chronic diseases.</p>\n<p> Peter Goggi, president of the Tea Association of the USA, said in a letter to Howard Lutnick, the Secretary of Commerce, that a tariff "potentially impedes the consumption" of tea, a drink that comes with health benefits.</p>\n<p> "The free and unencumbered import of true tea from its origin is a centuries-old tradition… The imposition of tariffs on all imported teas will not impact the producers, exporters or governments. However, it will negatively impact the American consumers. As a result of these tariffs, real pain will be felt by everyday Americans," said Goggi.</p>\n<p> The Tea Association of the USA has urged the US administration to waive tariffs on tea and other non-US-grown agricultural products such as coffee and cacao.</p>\n<p> Goggi added: "The United States is not a tea-producing nation. There is no commercially grown tea that requires protection via tariffs, nor are there any tea-related farm-based jobs that would be protected by these tariffs."</p>\n<p> <span>bilinlin@chinadailyusa.com</span></p>\n<p></p>",

The prefecture in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region has introduced various initiatives for the construction of cultural venues, innovative people-centered activities, upgrading cultural industries and fostering cultural exchanges.</p>\n<p> These efforts have infused a spiritual drive into Aksu's high-quality development, local officials said.</p>\n<p> To build a comprehensive public cultural service system covering both urban and rural areas, the prefecture has completed the construction of 15 "urban studies" spaces, 169 new era civilization practice stations and 117 rural comprehensive cultural service centers.</p>\n<p> Additionally, the Aksu Traditional Chinese Culture Academy, which houses 14,000 books, exemplifies the region's commitment to preserving and promoting traditional cultural heritage.</p>\n<p> For example, a cultural experience activity centered around Major Heat, or da shu, a traditional Chinese solar term, was held at the academy on July 22. This event combined the essence of traditional culture with unique Silk Road heritage.</p>\n<p> During the activity, folk-custom teachers explained the origin of da shu, while Chinese medicine experts shared health advice from ancient medical books, such as drinking ginger tea during the dog days of summer to counter cold ailments and having three-bean soup to alleviate the summer heat.</p>\n<p> A participant surnamed Zhang expressed surprise at the depth of wisdom regarding life and health within solar terms.</p>\n<p> The "urban studies" spaces in Aksu, with warm lighting, well-organized bookshelves and cozy desks, have become a top choice for citizens to read and relax. Also, in Yiganqi town, resources from local cultural and service centers have been integrated to create an institute and 22 practice stations promoting new era civilization. The venues offer courses on traditional arts like calligraphy, painting, tea art and paper-cutting, enriching residents' cultural life.</p>\n<p> <b>Innovative activities</b></p>\n<p> Aksu has prioritized cultural innovation by organizing a diverse range of events at city, town and village levels based on the principle of meeting community demand.</p>\n<p> These events include art performances, sports competitions, calligraphy exhibitions and displays of intangible cultural heritage. Moreover, the prefecture has offered an average of more than 70 training sessions and exhibitions annually, which have benefited over 100,000 people.</p>\n<p> On the evening of July 16, the program tour of the first China Xinjiang Folk Art Season was held at the Old Street's bustling night market in Aksu, delivering a cultural feast to residents and tourists.</p>\n<p> The performance showcased a blend of local masterpieces and distinctive shows from Turpan, Korla and Altay, offering folk songs and the playing of the dombra, a traditional Kazak musical instrument. Cultures from different regions shone on the same stage, reflecting the diverse cultural landscape of Xinjiang.</p>\n<p> By leveraging its rich culture, Aksu has developed various tourism formats that integrate culture and industry. The Old Street, for instance, regularly stages local intangible cultural heritage shows, leading to a substantial increase in tourist numbers. Also, it has developed four high-quality tourist routes to drive economic growth.</p>\n<p> In the first half of 2025, Aksu welcomed more than 4.78 million tourists, with tourism revenue increasing by 21.08 percent year-on-year. The cultural and tourism industry has become a new driver for high-quality economic development in the region.</p>\n<p> Focusing on long-term development, Aksu follows a planning first and project-driven approach. Positioned as a "cultural and tourism distribution center in southern Xinjiang", the prefecture has secured dedicated funds, crafted a course of action for the cultural and tourism industry during the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), and established a development framework that includes cultural landmarks, distinctive streets and top-tier travel routes.</p>\n<p> Key projects — including the cultural center, national fitness center and intangible cultural heritage museum — are making steady progress in Aksu.

Foreign-invested firms also rose 4.1 percent year-on-year to 33,000.</p>\n<p> Such momentum underscored improving market sentiment and investor confidence, reinforcing China's status as a key global investment destination, industry experts said.</p>\n<p> Since the beginning of this year, China has unveiled a robust package of policies to stabilize foreign capital inflows and boost long-term investment amid rising global economic uncertainty.</p>\n<p> The country's tax authority, for example, launched a new tax credit policy aimed at encouraging foreign investors to reinvest their profits in the country. The policy allows eligible investors to offset Chinese tax liabilities if they commit to keeping the investment in China for at least five years.</p>\n<p> Li Xuhong, a professor at the Beijing National Accounting Institute, said: "Such efforts reduce the tax burden on foreign enterprises and support the stable development of China's economy. At the same time, it sends a strong signal that China welcomes long-term investment."</p>\n<p> Data from the SAMR also showed that by sector, 601,000 new market entities were created in primary industries such as agriculture, 965,000 in manufacturing and other secondary industries, and 11.71 million in the services sector.</p>\n<p> New economy firms, which mainly refer to those companies engaged in new technologies, industries, business formats and models, reached 25.36 million nationwide by the end of June, up 6.6 percent year-on-year and accounting for 40.2 percent of all registered enterprises.</p>\n<p> Notably, the cultural sector stood out as a bright spot in consumption growth, buoyed by the global popularity of domestic intellectual property such as Pop Mart collectibles. New registrations in culture, sports and entertainment surged 17.5 percent year-on-year, the fastest among all major industries.</p>\n<p> In the realm of pop culture, Chinese brand Pop Mart has become a global sensation, with fans lining up outside stores eager to get their hands on the latest trendy Labubu figurines.</p>\n<p> Hu Zuohao, a professor at the School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University, said that the popularity of domestic brands like Pop Mart exemplifies how cultural and design premiums are reshaping the value structure of Chinese manufacturing.</p>\n<p> "Brands like Pop Mart demonstrate that meeting consumer demand for special innovative products is the best way to boost business. This is China's new consumption era, when people are boosting consumption but also promoting smarter, deeper and more meaningful consumption," Hu said.</p>\n<p> <span>chengyu@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

"description": "<div></div><p> Intersport International Corp, a leading sporting goods retailer based in Switzerland, is weighing a production pivot toward China.</p>\n<p> The retailer sees an opportunity to tap China's unrivaled supply chain efficiency at a time when rivals are shifting production to Southeast Asia and other developing-country markets.</p>\n<p> Intersport International's new CEO, Tom Foley, told the Financial Times recently that the group is considering sourcing a greater share of its private-label products from China. The category accounted for about 1.4 billion euros ($1.53 billion) in revenue last year.</p>\n<p> The move comes as many sporting goods brands increasingly shift production to countries such as Bangladesh and Vietnam, where tariff rates are lower. Such moves, Foley said, "might put pressure on production capacities in markets that ordinarily would not have that".</p>\n<p> Intersport, with 5,500 stores across 42 countries, generated 14 billion euros in revenue last year. It sells both its own private-label goods and products from brands such as Nike and Adidas. The company did not respond to a China Daily request for comment.</p>\n<p> Industry experts said China remains a formidable manufacturing base for sporting goods despite cost and tariff pressures.</p>\n<p> "China's sporting goods manufacturing sector has evolved into a comprehensive, well-matured ecosystem that spans virtually every product category," said Adam Zhang, founder of Key-Solution Sports Consulting.</p>\n<p> Zhang pointed to recent breakthroughs in advanced materials such as carbon fiber. "Who could turn down a supply chain that is superior in quality, highly efficient and the global benchmark for cost leadership?"</p>\n<p> Quanzhou, Fujian province, is one such hub, producing one in five pairs of athletic shoes sold worldwide, said Ding Wanyu of Haiou Shoes Materials Co, which is based in Quanzhou.</p>\n<p> Ding said the city's industrial cluster allows all components to be sourced within a 50-kilometer radius in under 72 hours, while Shoe &Textile City — a trading mall in Quanzhou — offers one-stop procurement. Local firms also invest heavily in in-house research and development, combining biomechanics, materials science and data analytics to improve performance, she said.</p>\n<p> Bai Ming, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said that sportswear players such as Adidas and Nike have been shifting some production out of China in the past several years due to rising labor costs and higher tariffs.</p>\n<p> However, for companies where labor is a small proportion of total costs and demand for high quality products, technology and knowhow is critical, China's seamless integration of its supply chain, ability to quickly integrate design changes, and speed-to-market capabilities remain hard to match, said Bai.</p>\n<p> <span>wangzhuoqiong@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p><br><hr><div>获取更多RSS：<br><a href=\"https://feedx.net\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.net</a> <br><a href=\"https://feedx.site\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.site</a><br></div>",

As of 7 pm she still had not received her order.</p>\n<p> Such demand turned out to be a boon for fresh tea brands, especially smaller ones, which previously had seen stiff demand greatly benefit top chain brands.</p>\n<p> "On the first day we launched the campaign of 'the first milk tea in autumn', our sales on food delivery platform Ele.me surged nearly 300 percent. Currently, we have only 1,300 outlets nationwide. However, data from Ele.me showed that our daily sales of our top seller totaled 100,000 cups," said Shenzhen, Guangdong province-based milk tea brand Molly Tea.</p>\n<p> Between July 7 and Aug 7, the monthly sales of smaller beverage brands such as Molly Tea, Friday Eve, and No Yeye No Tea all totaled nearly 10,000 cups on food delivery platforms, while those of top-tier brands such as Manner and Heytea were around 3,000 to 6,000 cups.</p>\n<p> Data from market consultancy QuestMobile showed that by May, the monthly active users of JD's food delivery platform surpassed 6 million, up 368 percent on a year-on-year basis, while those of Meituan and Ele.me reached 5.46 million and 2.82 million, growing 16.7 percent and 30.7 percent year-on-year, respectively.</p>\n<p> Intense competition in the food delivery space has led various food delivery platforms to keep increasing their transportation capacity by expanding their dedicated rider teams and activating delivery resources. The continuous improvement of transportation facilities provides opportunities for the development of fresh tea brands.</p>\n<p> Experts said that top-tier fresh tea brands rely on long-term accumulated brand momentum and user base to maintain a leading advantage in cumulative sales, while smaller brands have seized the traffic dividend in the recent food delivery war, and may achieve a phased surpassing of top brands.</p>\n<p> However, they noted that after Liqiu, to realize long-term development, smaller fresh tea brands must pay attention to their business strategies.</p>\n<p> Zhan Junhao, founder of Fujian Huace Brand Positioning Consulting, said: "On one hand, they should conduct deep differentiation positioning, break out of shallow differences at the product level, explore unique brand value from cognitive dimensions such as consumer emotional needs and lifestyle, build true competitive barriers, and avoid falling into the vortex of homogenization.</p>\n<p> "On the other hand, they should systematically operate around brand positioning, integrate differentiation concepts into product innovation, service details and store experience, allowing consumers to truly perceive brand uniqueness and become the first choice in segmented fields."</p>\n<p> Wang Peng, an associate research fellow at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said that smaller fresh tea brands should focus on innovation, to bring out new products once in a while. They should also ensure product quality, by strictly controlling the procurement of raw materials, and standardizing the production process.</p>\n<p> <span>zhengyiran@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

However, data from Ele.me showed that our daily sales of our top seller totaled 100,000 cups," said Shenzhen, Guangdong province-based milk tea brand Molly Tea.</p>\n<p> Between July 7 and Aug 7, the monthly sales of smaller beverage brands such as Molly Tea, Friday Eve, and No Yeye No Tea all totaled nearly 10,000 cups on food delivery platforms, while those of top-tier brands such as Manner and Heytea were around 3,000 to 6,000 cups.</p>\n<p> Data from market consultancy QuestMobile showed that by May, the monthly active users of JD's food delivery platform surpassed 6 million, up 368 percent on a year-on-year basis, while those of Meituan and Ele.me reached 5.46 million and 2.82 million, growing 16.7 percent and 30.7 percent year-on-year, respectively.</p>\n<p> Intense competition in the food delivery space has led various food delivery platforms to keep increasing their transportation capacity by expanding their dedicated rider teams and activating delivery resources. The continuous improvement of transportation facilities provides opportunities for the development of fresh tea brands.</p>\n<p> Experts said that top-tier fresh tea brands rely on long-term accumulated brand momentum and user base to maintain a leading advantage in cumulative sales, while smaller brands have seized the traffic dividend in the recent food delivery war, and may achieve a phased surpassing of top brands.</p>\n<p> However, they noted that after Liqiu, to realize long-term development, smaller fresh tea brands must pay attention to their business strategies.</p>\n<p> Zhan Junhao, founder of Fujian Huace Brand Positioning Consulting, said: "On one hand, they should conduct deep differentiation positioning, break out of shallow differences at the product level, explore unique brand value from cognitive dimensions such as consumer emotional needs and lifestyle, build true competitive barriers, and avoid falling into the vortex of homogenization.</p>\n<p> "On the other hand, they should systematically operate around brand positioning, integrate differentiation concepts into product innovation, service details and store experience, allowing consumers to truly perceive brand uniqueness and become the first choice in segmented fields."</p>\n<p> Wang Peng, an associate research fellow at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said that smaller fresh tea brands should focus on innovation, to bring out new products once in a while. They should also ensure product quality, by strictly controlling the procurement of raw materials, and standardizing the production process.</p>\n<p> <span>zhengyiran@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

Spending a decade at Tsinghua University, progressing from undergraduate studies to a doctorate degree, he focused on a critical challenge.</p>\n<p> His research team addressed the fundamental communication barrier between diverse AI chipsets, each operating with distinct architectural "languages". Their breakthrough invention of a chip "Esperanto" effectively created an information superhighway, enabling seamless collaboration between heterogeneous processors. "To others, entrepreneurship might seem fraught with uncertainty," Xia reflected. "For me, it's the natural culmination of years of preparation."</p>\n<p> This deep integration of expertise spanning algorithms, hardware and real-world application scenarios has fueled rapid progress at Infinigence AI. Within its first year, the company achieved a significant milestone by launching the industry's inaugural one thousand-card hybrid chip training platform. This innovation boasts an unprecedented computing utilization rate of 97.6 percent, maximizing the potential of domestic hardware.</p>\n<p> Looking ahead, Xia sets an even more ambitious target: reducing chip operating energy consumption to merely one-tenth of current levels through innovative co-design of hardware and software.</p>\n<p> Central to Xia's vision is the development of an agile middle-ware platform. This platform acts as a universal adapter, seamlessly connecting large, complex AI models with diverse underlying chips. It empowers model developers and application providers to effortlessly access and harness the combined computational power from industry leaders like Huawei, Biren and Cambricon, with a single, simplified command.</p>\n<p> "Our fundamental aim is to make using computing power as convenient and ubiquitous as using water or electricity," Xia emphasized. "We're essentially building a 'Taobao'-like online market place for computing power resources — an online platform designed to help clients swiftly find the perfectly suited computational service while simultaneously enabling a vastly more efficient allocation and utilization of the nation's entire computing resource pool."</p>\n<p> The company made a debut at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai in July. The centerpiece of its showcase was a stack of three distinct "boxes", representing the launch of its latest solution suite, which provides comprehensive, full-scenario support, encompassing everything from sophisticated model scheduling and performance optimization to seamless application deployment, all unified across diverse and complex computing architectures.</p>\n<p> Xia explained the strategic imperative. "Building large-scale computing infrastructure resembles constructing a 'giant power plant', but the actual needs of AI applications demand readily available 'plug-and-play sockets'.Current AI computing infrastructure must fundamentally adapt to effectively serve the multitude of small, widespread AI application enterprises that require agile, on-demand production resources."</p>\n<p> Li Wei, deputy head of the cloud computing and big data research institute at the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, said that traditionally if companies want to use computing power, they either build the infrastructure themselves or rent the computing power via cloud subscriptions, which is expensive. But now with platforms such as Infinigence AI, they can easily find and use computing power resources that are scattered across China in a more efficient way.</p>\n<p> Wu Hequan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that every yuan ($0.14) invested in computing power drives 3 to 4 yuan in GDP growth.</p>\n<p> "In the global race for AI leadership, expanding computing power supply is critical," Wu added.</p>\n<p> Xia passionately highlighted the vital role of young talent and China's unique market advantage in driving innovation.

The official website lays out the process in more detail.</p>\n<p> Launched in 2019 by Joe Tsai — co-founder and chairman of Alibaba Group, and founder of the Joe and Clara Tsai Foundation — and officially supported by the Chinese Basketball Association, this charitable program has developed into a well-established system. It has partnered with nearly 30 leading US basketball-focused high schools across key education regions such as California and Florida, sponsoring a total of 28 Chinese students to pursue their academic and basketball dreams in the US.</p>\n<p> "We aim to find a group of promising student-athletes and provide them with the opportunity to grow by learning and competing alongside outstanding peers overseas — improving their skills, building confidence, and strengthening both body and mind," said Tsai.</p>\n<p> Over the past seven years, a number of young talents have made their mark abroad. Wang Fuqu and Li Xinyi from the first cohort have earned full scholarships to NCAA Division I programs. Class of 2022 players Huan Sinan and Huan Sifeng have drawn interest from prestigious universities, such as the University of Alabama and the University of Florida.</p>\n<p> Many scholarship recipients have excelled in US high school leagues, while also improving their language skills and broadening their horizons through international education, laying a solid foundation for their future career path, and becoming a new force in the next generation of Chinese basketball.</p>\n<p> Looking ahead, the program will continue to promote balanced development between male and female players, encouraging more girls to participate, and cultivating Chinese basketball talents with global perspectives and all-around competencies. It will also further serve as a bridge to deepen sports and cultural exchanges between China and abroad.</p>\n<p> Outstanding Chinese youth basketball players aged 13 to 15 can submit their materials via the official website: www.joetsaibbs.com.</p>\n<p></p>",

"My goal is simply to keep improving myself."</p>\n<p> Wushu has truly shaped her life.</p>\n<p> Juliette was born in Bordeaux, a city famous for its wine, but not for wushu, the Chinese martial art with a long history.

The site of the Temple of Montu, which was dedicated to worship of the god of war — one of the most important gods in ancient Egypt — remained deserted for decades, until the arrival of Chinese archaeologists in late 2018.</p>\n<p> Over the past seven years, the sustained efforts of the Egyptian-Chinese joint mission for archaeological excavation in the Temple of Montu have resulted in a number of discoveries, including the excavation of several new shrines and a site of human settlement. The team also found a huge enclosure wall built with mud bricks with the stamp of Amenhotep III, which proved that the temple was built during the reign of the pharaoh, dating back to around the 14th century BC.</p>\n<p> In addition, a unique underground facility was discovered earlier this year, and the archaeological team is trying to determine whether it was used as a water source to purify offerings during religious ceremonies in the temple.</p>\n<p> The archaeologists believe that parts of Egyptian history and ancient civilization may need to be reassessed, as their continued exploration is expected to result in new discoveries over the coming years.</p>\n<p> Saada Bakhid, a member of the joint mission and an archaeology official in Luxor, said that some significant discoveries have already been made at the temple over the past few years.</p>\n<p> After the completion of the excavation of the enclosed Temple of Montu site, archaeological excavation will extend to surrounding areas, including neighboring villages, which belonged to the temple in ancient times, to get more information about the history of these areas, he said.</p>\n<p> "We are interested to know everything. We expect to get the whole information about the buildings, the people living here, and priests working inside the temple, and the community around the temple, and how the ancient Egyptian people lived their lives," he said.</p>\n<p> Luxor, known as Thebes in ancient Egypt, is dubbed the "world's greatest open-air museum", and has one of the world's oldest civilizations with cultural heritage such as the Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple, both UNESCO World Heritage sites, dating back more than 3,000 years.</p>\n<p> While visiting Luxor in January 2016, President Xi Jinping said that its cultural heritage is the embodiment of ancient Egyptian civilization, and he called for intensified exchanges and mutual learning between the two great civilizations of China and Egypt.</p>\n<p> On Jan 21, 2016, President Xi and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi attended the opening ceremony of the 2016 Chinese-Egyptian Culture Year at the square of the Luxor Temple.</p>\n<p> Xi visited the temple and said that as two ancient countries with rich civilizations, China and Egypt should intensify people-to-people exchanges and deepen friendship between the two peoples for common development and prosperity.</p>\n<p> On different occasions, Xi has emphasized the important role of archaeology in promoting people-to-people exchanges and cooperation between different countries. In March 2023, President Xi proposed the Global Civilization Initiative, which entails respecting the diversity of civilizations and promoting exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations.</p>\n<p> Following the visit, in October 2018, a cooperation agreement was signed between the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Egypt's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities to jointly excavate the Temple of Montu site in Luxor. This was the first time that Chinese archaeologists have participated in an archaeological excavation in Egypt, according to Jia Xiaobing, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and head of the Chinese team in the joint mission.</p>\n<p> The joint archaeological team chose the Karnak Temple Complex as the site for excavation because it was one of the most important religious centers in ancient Egypt, and archaeological excavation at the Temple of Montu, a core area of the complex, can help people have a better understanding ofLine truncated

"description": "<div></div><p> From late August to early September, precipitation will be higher in northern China and lower in the south, according to forecasters from the National Climate Center. Meanwhile, temperatures across most regions of the country are expected to be near or above average, with parts of central and eastern China experiencing intermittent heat waves.</p>\n<p> The summer monsoon continues to deliver moisture and heat to northern and central China, leading to the accumulation of warm and moist air and creating an atmosphere ripe for heavy rain.</p>\n<p> The above-normal precipitation and above-average temperatures during this year's flood season are largely due to the position of the Western Pacific subtropical high, which has resulted in the formation of two distinct rain belts — one in the north and one in the south — said Zhi Rong, a chief forecaster at the National Climate Center.</p>\n<p> Data from the center shows that this year's rainy season in North China began on July 5, the earliest since records began in 1961. The national average temperature from July 5 to Aug 5 was also 1.5 C higher than the same period in previous years, making it the highest on record since 1961.</p>\n<p> Zhi said the ridge of the high-pressure system was at its northernmost position on record.</p>\n<p> The warm, moist air flowing along its northern edge combined with cold air pushing south, leading to an abnormal amount of rain in northern China. Meanwhile, a southern rain belt formed along the southern and eastern coasts, where the high-pressure system led to increased typhoon activity and heavy rain.</p>\n<p> Regions caught between these two belts, including the Jianghuai and Huanghuai plains and parts of Southwest China, have experienced high temperatures and drought conditions due to the stable high-pressure system.</p>\n<p> Last weekend, heavy downpours battered parts of Chongqing and the provinces of Sichuan, Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu. The rainfall is the latest in a series of intense events that have plagued the region, according to the National Meteorological Center.</p>\n<p> The forecast for the next three days predicts the rain belt will persist, stretching from the Sichuan Basin to the Jianghan and Jianghuai plains. The public needs to be vigilant about flash floods and mudslides that could be triggered by the continuous rainfall or localized heavy downpours, weather experts warned.</p>\n<p> This year's extreme weather events have resulted in floods in the north and south, as well as drought in the central regions, posing a risk to autumn grain production, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said.</p>\n<p> In response, the ministry recently released a plan outlining 34 tailored disaster prevention and relief measures aimed at securing a bountiful autumn harvest and overall grain production.</p>\n<p> Moreover, the Ministry of Finance, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Water Resources, has allocated 1.015 billion yuan ($141 million) from the central budget for agricultural disaster relief.</p>\n<p> <span>zhaoyimeng@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p><br><hr><div>获取更多RSS：<br><a href=\"https://feedx.net\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.net</a> <br><a href=\"https://feedx.site\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.site</a><br></div>",

"description": "<div></div><p> Chinese universities are using creative methods to send prospective students admission letters, and nothing seems to be off the table. Higher education institutions are transforming the traditional item into everything from edible delicacies to Antarctic keepsakes, sparking an online frenzy and even a black market for the novel items.</p>\n<p> The 2025 university admission season has ignited social media as students nationwide showcase their creatively packaged acceptance letters. A student's post on Douyin, China's version of TikTok, claims Jilin Agricultural University sent them an edible admission letter made from new mushroom paper developed by its fungi research team led by Li Yu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.</p>\n<p> The student used edible parts of the letter as an ingredient to make the famous dish "chicken stewed with mushrooms", a video that has since circulated on social media.</p>\n<p> University officials said recently that while the main body of the letter is conventional, it does include a detachable sheet made of mushroom mycelium developed by the university's own fungi science team.</p>\n<p> This special "mushroom paper", crafted by students at the university's College of Mycology, is made from mushroom fibers without using traditional polluting processes such as bleaching. The paper is touted as low-carbon, eco-friendly and unique.</p>\n<p> The university developed the special admission letter to encourage new students to "be like mushrooms: emerge bravely from the earth with composure as your cap and confidence as your stem," it said.</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, the Ocean University of China in Qingdao, Shandong province, captured imaginations with what netizens dubbed the "most romantic" admission letter. Its admission package includes a pendant containing seawater retrieved directly from Antarctica by the university's research team.</p>\n<p> Each droplet-shaped pendant bears the university's English abbreviation "OUC" and an authentication certificate. The package also includes tea from Lyuchun county, a university-supported region in Yunnan province.</p>\n<p> The university said the gesture was made with the hope that every new student will draw wisdom from water's resilience, measure the world by the ocean's vastness and become graduates who can contribute to building China into a strong maritime nation. However, the unique move has fueled a secondary market, with the Antarctic seawater pendants or entire packages appearing on resale platforms for prices ranging from 1,800 to 5,000 yuan ($250-$696). Some buyers offered 300 to 3,000 yuan, according to Xiaoxiang Morning News, a news outlet in Hunan province.</p>\n<p> The university confirmed the pendants are officially distributed only to admitted students and warned against potential counterfeits, advising against high-priced purchases.</p>\n<p> Perhaps the most unexpectedly sturdy admission letter was from the Beijing University of Chemical Technology. A recent video posted on Douyin showed its carbon fiber admission letter — a mere 0.2 mm thick and developed by the university's advanced composite materials center — effortlessly slicing through a watermelon without damage.</p>\n<p> This high-performance composite, the university noted, is already widely used in rockets, satellites, space stations, aircraft and large vessels. It began sending letters made with the materials last year.</p>\n<p> Students have already let their imaginations run wild to test its durability, with videos showing the admission letter remaining completely unscathed despite being crumpled, bent, and even splashed with hot water.</p>\n<p> Technological marvels also took center stage. The Harbin Institute of Technology in Heilongjiang province presented its "Dream" gift box themed around space exploration.</p>\n<p> The admission letter itself is engraved on material identical to the heat shield used on China's Mengzhou manned spacecraft, the Tianwen 2 probe and return capsules. Developed by the university's research team in collaboration with a satellite manufacturer in Beijing, this ultra-high-temperature lightweight ablative composite material embodies the cutting-edge aerospace technology of the university.</p>\n<p> The Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, delivered literal excitement: a "mysterious black box" bearing a torch image. When a special region at the lower part of the box is ignited, the upper part reveals the university motto "Virtue, Truth, Advance". Scanning the enclosed torch with a phone produces a blazing augmented reality effect.</p>\n<p> While the creative admission letters have been met with praise from netizens who view this as demonstrations of warmth, experts argue these innovations risk Line truncated

This step clarifies issues around ownership, management responsibilities and ecological boundaries to serve the protection and supervision of natural resources.</p>\n<p> China declared the establishment of its first batch of national parks — the National Park of Hainan Tropical Rainforest, Wuyishan National Park, Giant Panda National Park, Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park, and Three-River-Source National Park — in 2021, with the aim of protecting the integrity of their ecosystems while making use of their valuable natural resources scientifically and rationally.</p>\n<p> "The Civil Code mandates that the State Council (China's Cabinet) represents the State in exercising ownership of all publicly owned natural resource assets. However, for a long time, it was unclear which entities are responsible for managing the resources, how such management is carried out and what their rights entail," said Hu Shanshun, director of the ministry's natural resource rights confirmation and registration bureau.</p>\n<p> This ambiguity has now been resolved through the unified and confirmed registration of natural resource rights. By upholding public ownership, strengthening property rights protection, and clearly outlining the roles of owners and regulators, such registration provides a robust legal foundation for national park management, Hu added.</p>\n<p> "This approach not only solidifies the property rights foundation for ecological civilization construction, but also ensures the practical implementation of the concept that 'lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets', also known as the 'Two Mountains theory'," he said.</p>\n<p> The National Park of Hainan Tropical Rainforest took the lead in completing its natural resource rights confirmation and registration process in late 2022. Covering 4,268.54 square kilometers, with nearly 90 percent State-owned, the national park is abundant in forest resources, which account for more than 97 percent of its natural area.</p>\n<p> Authorized by the State Council, the ministry has delegated the exercise of ownership responsibilities for all publicly owned natural resource assets within the national park to the Hainan provincial government.</p>\n<p> On July 4, Three-River-Source National Park completed its confirmation and registration work, marking the completion of registration for all national parks. Covering 190,700 sq km, the national park is rich in grassland resources, with the exercise of ownership responsibilities delegated to the Qinghai provincial government.</p>\n<p> "The confirmation and registration of natural resource rights has established a robust property rights framework essential for unlocking the ecological product value within national parks. It also provides a basis for the allocation of rights and responsibilities regarding the disposal, allocation, paid use and revenue management of natural resource assets owned by the public in the national parks," Hu said.</p>\n<p> Hu added that the confirmation process resolved disputes over natural resource property rights by outlining ownership boundaries — be they governments at different levels, collective owners and the public.</p>\n<p> He cited the Giant Panda National Park spanning Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces as an example. The registration work has delineated the boundaries for State-owned and collectively-owned resources, assigning the national park's management bureau the responsibility for the ecological restoration of public natural resources. Meanwhile, the collectively-owned natural resources are utilized through a model involving village collectives and cooperatives for a forest-based economy, enabling the maintenance of the ecological redline for forests while allowing villagers to benefit from the protection.</p>\n<p> From the pilot exploration of five national parks to full-scale implementation, the unified and confirmed registration of natural resources covered 1,057 key areas nationwide, totaling 320,000 sq km as of the end of July, he said.</p>\n<p> "We will continue to enhance the legalization, standardization, normalization and informatization of the unified and confirmed registration of natural resource rights," Hu said.</p>\n<p> "During the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), we will systematically advance the registration of natural resource rights, including newly established national parks, internationally and nationally important wetlands, major rivers, mineral resources with proven reserves and uninhabited islands, striving to achieve a rLine truncated

By upholding public ownership, strengthening property rights protection, and clearly outlining the roles of owners and regulators, such registration provides a robust legal foundation for national park management, Hu added.</p>\n<p> "This approach not only solidifies the property rights foundation for ecological civilization construction, but also ensures the practical implementation of the concept that 'lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets', also known as the 'Two Mountains theory'," he said.</p>\n<p> The National Park of Hainan Tropical Rainforest took the lead in completing its natural resource rights confirmation and registration process in late 2022. Covering 4,268.54 square kilometers, with nearly 90 percent State-owned, the national park is abundant in forest resources, which account for more than 97 percent of its natural area.</p>\n<p> Authorized by the State Council, the ministry has delegated the exercise of ownership responsibilities for all publicly owned natural resource assets within the national park to the Hainan provincial government.</p>\n<p> On July 4, Three-River-Source National Park completed its confirmation and registration work, marking the completion of registration for all national parks. Covering 190,700 sq km, the national park is rich in grassland resources, with the exercise of ownership responsibilities delegated to the Qinghai provincial government.</p>\n<p> "The confirmation and registration of natural resource rights has established a robust property rights framework essential for unlocking the ecological product value within national parks. It also provides a basis for the allocation of rights and responsibilities regarding the disposal, allocation, paid use and revenue management of natural resource assets owned by the public in the national parks," Hu said.</p>\n<p> Hu added that the confirmation process resolved disputes over natural resource property rights by outlining ownership boundaries — be they governments at different levels, collective owners and the public.</p>\n<p> He cited the Giant Panda National Park spanning Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces as an example. The registration work has delineated the boundaries for State-owned and collectively-owned resources, assigning the national park's management bureau the responsibility for the ecological restoration of public natural resources. Meanwhile, the collectively-owned natural resources are utilized through a model involving village collectives and cooperatives for a forest-based economy, enabling the maintenance of the ecological redline for forests while allowing villagers to benefit from the protection.</p>\n<p> From the pilot exploration of five national parks to full-scale implementation, the unified and confirmed registration of natural resources covered 1,057 key areas nationwide, totaling 320,000 sq km as of the end of July, he said.</p>\n<p> "We will continue to enhance the legalization, standardization, normalization and informatization of the unified and confirmed registration of natural resource rights," Hu said.</p>\n<p> "During the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), we will systematically advance the registration of natural resource rights, including newly established national parks, internationally and nationally important wetlands, major rivers, mineral resources with proven reserves and uninhabited islands, striving to achieve a regisLine truncated

This instrument flourished during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), frequently appearing in poetry, murals and imperial court performances.</p>\n<p> Aydina Yasen grew up in Qiemo county, located deep in the Taklimakan Desert, the largest in China. Known as the "hometown of konghou", the county was once a key stop along the southern route of the ancient Silk Road and has unearthed the oldest known relics of the instrument — dating back 2,700 years.</p>\n<p> Aydina Yasen began learning to play the konghou at age 10.</p>\n<p> "The first time I heard its sound, I was deeply captivated," she said. "Now, every time I play it, it feels like I am touching an ancient soul."</p>\n<p> There was a time when the konghou had almost disappeared. However, efforts to replicate the instrument began in the 1930s, and it made a return to the stage by the 1980s, according to Liang Pu, a konghou instructor in Qiemo.</p>\n<p> In 2016, Xinjiang's first public-interest konghou training base was established in Qiemo, drawing both music teachers and students. As of this year, more than 200 children, affectionately known as "konghou kids", have been trained in the county. In addition, all primary and secondary schools in Qiemo now boast clubs where students can learn to play the instrument.</p>\n<p> Since 2019, five konghou-themed competitions have been held in Qiemo, while a series of concerts featuring the harp have also been staged to enhance its popularity.</p>\n<p> Among the many attracted to this instrument in Qiemo, Aydina Yasen is the only one to gain admission to a college-level program in recent years, securing a spot at the Shenyang Conservatory of Music in Liaoning province.</p>\n<p> "There are only a handful of conservatories offering konghou as a major, and each admits very few students annually," Liang said. "Pursuing this path requires immense dedication."</p>\n<p> Aydina Yasen's mother, a music teacher, has strongly supported her daughter's dreams.</p>\n<p> "I hope my daughter can pass on traditional konghou techniques and share its culture with the world," she said.</p>\n<p> Aydina Yasen said, "Learning konghou was never easy, but it took me from the desert to big cities and opened up a much bigger world." She added that she hopes to share the rich konghou culture of her hometown with wider audiences.</p>\n<p></p><br><hr><div>获取更多RSS：<br><a href=\"https://feedx.net\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.net</a> <br><a href=\"https://feedx.site\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.site</a><br></div>",

Thanks to cross-department collaboration and the streamlined system, foreign ship re-registrations that once took 30 days now require just a single day.</p>\n<p> Cai Yinghong, director of the Hainan International Ship Registration Authority, said, "Our goal is to build an internationally aligned ship registration service system."</p>\n<p> Cai noted Hainan has pioneered several nationwide firsts, including a unified ship registration system covering the entire island, a two-level review process for international ship registrations, and a temporary ship ownership registration system.</p>\n<p> These innovations have increased the efficiency of ship registration by over 90 percent, he said. The implementation of a "non-stop certification" service has allowed vessels to complete certification without interrupting their voyages, resulting in annual savings exceeding one million yuan ($139,000) per ship.</p>\n<p> <b>Safety first</b></p>\n<p> At Ningbo Zhoushan Port, one of the world's busiest cargo hubs in Zhejiang province, China is demonstrating its commitment to maritime safety and environmental protection through robust Port State Control.</p>\n<p> According to Jin Tianqi, deputy director of the Security Inspection Center at the Ningbo Maritime Safety Administration, the Ningbo Maritime Bureau has intensified PSC enforcement efforts, conducting approximately 400 inspections annually within its jurisdiction.</p>\n<p> "Through scientific scheduling and random checks, a dynamic supervision mechanism focused on high-risk vessels has been established. This approach has significantly improved the overall technical condition of incoming ships and effectively reduced the risk of major maritime accidents," Jin said.</p>\n<p> These efforts have effectively reduced maritime accidents and cultivated a market environment rewarding well-managed ships.</p>\n<p> Digital technologies are rapidly being integrated into PSC practices. Some ports across China have begun deploying drones to inspect ship hulls and using smart terminals to collect on-site data, boosting enforcement efficiency and transparency. These innovations point to the future direction of PSC systems worldwide.</p>\n<p> <b>Swift passage</b></p>\n<p> The Haikou MLine truncated
