The opening ceremony of the 2025 Chengdu World Games will take place on Thursday evening.</p>\n<img src=\"https://mobile.chinadaily.com.cn/cn/resfile/2025-08-07/004/20250807_004_03_85223.png\" /><p>Meteorological workers conduct inspections at a weather station in Chengdu, Sichuan province, on July 29, ahead of the 2025 Chengdu World Games.</p>\n<p> On a humid summer night in Chengdu, Zhang Tao stared at a glowing weather monitoring system inside the Chengdu Municipal Meteorological Department. The deputy director looked anxious.</p>\n<p> In just 24 hours, the opening ceremony of the 2025 Chengdu World Games is scheduled to be held outdoors at the Tianfu International Convention Center. But the forecast is far from ideal.</p>\n<p> As of 8 pm Wednesday, meteorologists were predicting partly cloudy skies with scattered showers or thunderstorms during the Thursday evening festivities. Daytime highs could reach as high as 33 C, but the key window from 6 to 10 pm — covering the torch lighting and fireworks segments of the ceremony — is likely to face a threat of rain.</p>\n<p> "We're under a lot of pressure," Zhang said. The uncertainty threatens to derail the outdoor elements of the ceremony, and organizers are on standby to activate an indoor contingency plan if needed, he added.</p>\n<p> While northern and southern China are battling heavy rainfall during the flood season, the Sichuan Basin is bracing for an intense heat wave, with temperatures exceeding 40 C in some areas.</p>\n<p> Adding to the challenge, Chengdu is known for its local microclimates, which complicates weather forecasting for citywide sporting events, said Li Linlin, deputy director of the Games' services support center.</p>\n<p> To tackle the uncertainty, Chengdu has rolled out a high-tech weather monitoring system aimed at ensuring smooth operations.</p>\n<p> The network includes 855 ground stations, nine advanced radar systems, 13 upper-air sites and real-time satellite data — providing minute-by-minute, high-resolution forecasts across all venues, according to the meteorological department.</p>\n<p> With 15 outdoor venues spread across Chengdu's urban and suburban districts, meteorologists are providing hyper-local forecasts to support the complex web of competitions.</p>\n<p> "Organizers have installed 26 new localized weather stations in addition to the 61 built for the 2023 Chengdu Universiade," Li said.</p>\n<p> The stations enhance precise forecasting down to individual venues — many of which have open-air surfaces highly sensitive to weather changes.</p>\n<p> Artificial intelligence-powered models can now offer forecasts ranging from 60 days ahead to just five minutes out, helping predict rain, wind, heat and air quality to protect athletes and minimize delays.</p>\n<p> Among the most weather-vulnerable sports is drone racing — a high-octane event blending speed and virtual reality. Scheduled for Aug 14 to 16 at the Dong'an Lake Sports Park athletics field, the race pushes agile drones through obstacle-laden tracks at speeds topping 160 kilometers per hour.</p>\n<p> "Wind is a critical factor," said Zhou Xueyun, a member of the Games' meteorological center. "A gust over 32.4 km per hour may throw a drone off course or cause a crash."</p>\n<p> Rain, he added, could short-circuit electronics or significantly reduce flight speed.</p>\n<p> Ideal flying conditions include low wind, visibility over 1 km and moderate humidity.</p>\n<p> "Anything outside those parameters could ground the event," Zhou said.</p>\n<p> To mitigate the risks, high-resolution numerical weather prediction tools have been deployed to map low-altitude turbulence and wind fields in real time.</p>\n<p> "Flying disc is another sport requiring strict weather conditions," Zhou said. Frisbee flight is easily disrupted by winds above 28.8 km per hour, and athletes perform best in 15 C to 25 C temperatures with moderate humidity. Mobile weather stations have been placed near the lake to deliver second-by-second data on wind and visibility.</p>\n<p> At the Sancha Lake Water Sports Competition Zone, thunderstorms are the biggest threat to events such as powerboating and waterski.</p>\n<p> "If there's lightning, everything stops immediately," said Gao Deng, deputy head of the venue operation center's competition committee. "Athletes are vulnerable on open water. We have emergency tents and shelters ready for immediate evacuation."</p>\n<p> He said the team has rehearsed for extreme weather scenarios ahead of the Games.</p>\n<p> Gao said upLine truncated

The opening ceremony of the 2025 Chengdu World Games will take place on Thursday evening.</p>\n<img src=\"https://mobile.chinadaily.com.cn/cn/resfile/2025-08-07/004/20250807_004_03_85223.png\" /><p>Meteorological workers conduct inspections at a weather station in Chengdu, Sichuan province, on July 29, ahead of the 2025 Chengdu World Games.</p>\n<p> On a humid summer night in Chengdu, Zhang Tao stared at a glowing weather monitoring system inside the Chengdu Municipal Meteorological Department. The deputy director looked anxious.</p>\n<p> In just 24 hours, the opening ceremony of the 2025 Chengdu World Games is scheduled to be held outdoors at the Tianfu International Convention Center. But the forecast is far from ideal.</p>\n<p> As of 8 pm Wednesday, meteorologists were predicting partly cloudy skies with scattered showers or thunderstorms during the Thursday evening festivities. Daytime highs could reach as high as 33 C, but the key window from 6 to 10 pm — covering the torch lighting and fireworks segments of the ceremony — is likely to face a threat of rain.</p>\n<p> "We're under a lot of pressure," Zhang said. The uncertainty threatens to derail the outdoor elements of the ceremony, and organizers are on standby to activate an indoor contingency plan if needed, he added.</p>\n<p> While northern and southern China are battling heavy rainfall during the flood season, the Sichuan Basin is bracing for an intense heat wave, with temperatures exceeding 40 C in some areas.</p>\n<p> Adding to the challenge, Chengdu is known for its local microclimates, which complicates weather forecasting for citywide sporting events, said Li Linlin, deputy director of the Games' services support center.</p>\n<p> To tackle the uncertainty, Chengdu has rolled out a high-tech weather monitoring system aimed at ensuring smooth operations.</p>\n<p> The network includes 855 ground stations, nine advanced radar systems, 13 upper-air sites and real-time satellite data — providing minute-by-minute, high-resolution forecasts across all venues, according to the meteorological department.</p>\n<p> With 15 outdoor venues spread across Chengdu's urban and suburban districts, meteorologists are providing hyper-local forecasts to support the complex web of competitions.</p>\n<p> "Organizers have installed 26 new localized weather stations in addition to the 61 built for the 2023 Chengdu Universiade," Li said.</p>\n<p> The stations enhance precise forecasting down to individual venues — many of which have open-air surfaces highly sensitive to weather changes.</p>\n<p> Artificial intelligence-powered models can now offer forecasts ranging from 60 days ahead to just five minutes out, helping predict rain, wind, heat and air quality to protect athletes and minimize delays.</p>\n<p> Among the most weather-vulnerable sports is drone racing — a high-octane event blending speed and virtual reality. Scheduled for Aug 14 to 16 at the Dong'an Lake Sports Park athletics field, the race pushes agile drones through obstacle-laden tracks at speeds topping 160 kilometers per hour.</p>\n<p> "Wind is a critical factor," said Zhou Xueyun, a member of the Games' meteorological center. "A gust over 32.4 km per hour may throw a drone off course or cause a crash."</p>\n<p> Rain, he added, could short-circuit electronics or significantly reduce flight speed.</p>\n<p> Ideal flying conditions include low wind, visibility over 1 km and moderate humidity.</p>\n<p> "Anything outside those parameters could ground the event," Zhou said.</p>\n<p> To mitigate the risks, high-resolution numerical weather prediction tools have been deployed to map low-altitude turbulence and wind fields in real time.</p>\n<p> "Flying disc is another sport requiring strict weather conditions," Zhou said. Frisbee flight is easily disrupted by winds above 28.8 km per hour, and athletes perform best in 15 C to 25 C temperatures with moderate humidity. Mobile weather stations have been placed near the lake to deliver second-by-second data on wind and visibility.</p>\n<p> At the Sancha Lake Water Sports Competition Zone, thunderstorms are the biggest threat to events such as powerboating and waterski.</p>\n<p> "If there's lightning, everything stops immediately," said Gao Deng, deputy head of the venue operation center's competition committee. "Athletes are vulnerable on open water. We have emergency tents and shelters ready for immediate evacuation."</p>\n<p> He said the team has rehearsed for extreme weather scenarios ahead of the Games.</p>\n<p> Gao said updateLine truncated

"description": "<div></div><p> Qin Rupei, former vice-chairman of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous regional government, was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for accepting bribes of more than 216 million yuan ($30.04 million), a court in Sichuan province announced on Wednesday.</p>\n<p> Qin was also deprived of political rights for life, with confiscation of all his personal assets. His illicit gains and related interests were ordered to be turned over to the State treasury, according to the ruling made by the Deyang Intermediate People's Court.</p>\n<p> In China, a suspended death sentence is typically commuted to life in prison if the inmate commits no new crimes during the two-year probation period. The sentence can be further reduced for good behavior.</p>\n<p> After an investigation, the court found that from 1998 to 2024, Qin took advantage of his positions, including as deputy governor of Guizhou province and vice-chairman of the Guangxi regional government, to seek benefits for some individuals and departments in matters such as project contracting, business operations and job transfers. In return, he received bribes worth over 216 million yuan.</p>\n<p> Qin's actions have constituted the crime of accepting bribes and he deserves capital punishment, as the amount of the bribes he accepted was "extremely large", causing huge losses to the interests of the country and the people, the court said.</p>\n<p> However, the court added that it showed leniency because Qin confessed, voluntarily reported bribes unknown to investigators and agreed to turn over his illicit gains.</p>\n<p> According to public information, Qin, a 62-year-old native of Guizhou, started his career in August 1983 and joined the Communist Party of China in July 1985. Before he went to work in Guangxi in early 2018, he had served in his hometown for decades.</p>\n<p> In April 2024, he was placed under disciplinary and supervisory investigation. In October, he was expelled from the Party and removed from public office.</p>\n<p> In February, he was indicted on the charge of accepting bribes, and the court publicly heard his case in May.</p>\n<p> <span>caoyin@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",

I'm so thrilled that these Chinese artists have come to America to share their culture, to share their grace and power, and inspire all of us," she told China Daily.</p>\n<p> By the end of the evening, Allen was on her feet, applauding with joy and admiration. Her sentiment captured the essence of the night, a celebration of cultural artistry and people's connection across countries.</p>\n<p> The dance drama is inspired by A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, the monumental 12th-century scroll painting by Wang Ximeng, a teenage prodigy of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127).</p>\n<p> The original scroll — now housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing — has rarely been exhibited and has never traveled abroad.</p>\n<p> Presented by the China Oriental Performing Arts Group, The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting captivated a full house with its rich visual storytelling and emotional depth. More than a performance, it was a living expression of Chinese artistic heritage that bridges past and present, East and West.</p>\n<p> Structured in seven poetic chapters from "Unfolding the Scroll" to "Merging with the Painting", the production follows a modern cultural historian's journey back in time to explore the artist's creative spirit and the philosophical richness of this masterpiece.</p>\n<p> Film director and producer Harrison Engle described the experience as "emotionally moving".</p>\n<p> <b>New perspective</b></p>\n<p> "It's really extraordinary, the dance, choreography, design, lighting and music, all so overwhelming and so moving," he told China Daily. "I hope that this show is welcomed by many people outside of the immediate Chinese community in the US. I think it would give them a whole new perspective about Chinese culture."</p>\n<p> Through its flowing narrative and elegant choreography, the production becomes a profound reflection on artistic devotion, cultural legacy and the enduring spirit of Chinese civilization. For many audience members, the show was their first encounter with Chinese classical dance on such an expressive scale.</p>\n<p> "This show was wonderful. It's a real art," film producer Bogdan Szumilas told China Daily. "We need more shows like this."</p>\n<p> Evie, a young dancer who attended the premiere, described the show as "super interesting".</p>\n<p> "It's definitely something I haven't seen before," she said. "I loved the costumes, and all the design elements were really captivating. The story was told beautifully."</p>\n<p> The performance has already been hailed in China as a "pinnacle of aesthetics" and has enjoyed more than 700 sold-out performances since its debut in 2021. Its international acclaim surged after the mesmerizing "Green Waist" dance segment was featured on China's Spring Festival Gala in 2022.</p>\n<p> In Los Angeles, the city's multicultural landscape made the premiere particularly meaningful, with a diverse crowd of artists, executives and cultural influencers in attendance. Before the performance, anticipation was already high.</p>\n<p> "I love Chinese culture," said Lance Sterling, owner of concert venues across Southern California, including the House of Blues. "And I believe this is true Chinese culture. I hope one day my concerts can showcase such Chinese dance and performance."</p>\n<p> His wife, Caryn Sterling, a talent manager in the entertainment industry, echoed that enthusiasm. "My eyes are wide-open, my heart is wide-open. We can't wait to take it all in — the grace, the creativity, the detail. I think this will stay with me forever," she said.</p>\n<p> Douglas Ivanovich, founder of World Peace One Concerts and a member of the LA Beverly Arts group, believes that art serves as a bridge between nations.</p>\n<p> "One of the missions of the arts is to help people understand each other better, and to elevate humanity into a more creative, peaceful and productive existence," he told China Daily.

I just want to play football, and how much money the clubs pay between each other, it doesn't matter," he said.</p>\n<p> "Of course the big challenge is to win the title again, and it is the most difficult thing, so (I will) try and just create chances and also work against the ball.</p>\n<p> "I can also run a lot, so (I will) bring this to the team and, then, with the ball, I can make the team better and put my teammates into better situations."</p>\n<p> Liverpool faces FA Cup winner Crystal Palace in the season-opening Community Shield on Sunday and kicks off its Premier League title defense at home to Bournemouth on Aug 15.</p>\n<p> Germany international Wirtz said he was relishing the challenge.</p>\n<p> "There are some differences to Germany, but I think there is also something I can learn and make me better, so, I am really looking forward to it," he said.</p>\n<p> "It's more intense and more physical, every player is really strong, really fast. That is what everybody is telling me."</p>\n<p> <b>Big spender</b></p>\n<p> Liverpool has spent more than 250 million pounds so far in the summer transfer window on a clutch of new players, including Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, who also came from Leverkusen, and Giorgi Mamardashvili.</p>\n<p> The club is understood to have made a bid of around 110 million pounds, plus potential add-ons, for unsettled Newcastle striker Alexander Isak last week, which was later rejected.</p>\n<p> Manager Arne Slot said after two friendlies against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield on Monday that there was "always room for improvement", despite the club's march to a record-equaling 20th league title last season.</p>\n<p> "We've added a few, in my opinion, extra weapons," said the Dutchman. "So, Florian has a lot of creativity in the final third. We've lost, with Trent (Alexander-Arnold, who signed for Real Madrid), a lot of creativity from the back.</p>\n<p> "Trent's crosses and ability to pick out runners were so special — I think Flo has this quality, as well, in a totally different position."</p>\n<p> Liverpool paid tribute to late forward Diogo Jota in their first matches at Anfield since the forward and his brother Andre Silva died in a car accident in Spain last month.</p>\n<p> Slot said in his match program notes that it had been a "tough time for everyone connected with the club, but especially for Diogo's family, his wife, his children and friends".</p>\n<p> "We cannot imagine the pain that they have been going through, and the club will continue to give them all the support they can to go forward," he wrote.</p>\n<p> "We will always carry him with us in our hearts, in our thoughts, wherever we go."</p>\n<p></p>",

The United States accounts for 60 to 70 percent of sales, which mainly go to high-end venues.</p>\n<p> Production methods range from machine-woven, which imitates handmade rugs, to gun-tufted, or semi-handmade, to fully handwoven, with prices increasing manyfold as craftsmanship becomes more intricate.</p>\n<p> Handwoven Tibetan carpets, most looking like vivid oil paintings, are highly prized. A 1-square-meter piece takes a craftsman roughly a year to complete, and usually fetches 50,000 yuan to 60,000 yuan for its vibrant colors and durability.</p>\n<p> With high transportation costs due to Qinghai's deep inland location, handwoven carpets barely turn a profit, Du explained. "We persist out of a mission to preserve this intangible cultural heritage — Tibetan carpet weaving is the cultural root of our enterprise," he said.</p>\n<p> In 2023, Shengyuan was designated a national demonstration base for productive protection of intangible cultural heritage, relying on the traditional Tibetan carpet-weaving technique originating from Jiaya village in Xining. Its inheritors are mainly engaged in training artisans.</p>\n<p> Of the company's 300-plus employees, over 200 are from surrounding villages, including many ethnic groups such as the Tibetan and Tu. About half of them have mastered the hand-weaving skills.</p>\n<p> "Instead of working far from home, I now earn nearly 5,000 yuan a month here and can still care for my family," said 42-year-old weaver Zhu Cunfeng, smiling.</p>\n<p> Tibetan carpets utilize premium raw materials like sheep wool and yak wool sourced in Qinghai.

"description": "<div></div><p> China launched a group of internet satellites into orbit on Monday evening, marking the third in-orbit deployment of such spacecraft in eight days.</p>\n<p> The satellites are the seventh group of low-orbit hardware in China's State-owned internet network. They were lifted by a Long March 12 carrier rocket at 6:21 pm on Monday from the Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Center — a coastal spaceport in Wenchang, Hainan province — and soon arrived in their orbital positions, according to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, maker of the Long March 12 rocket.</p>\n<p> The fifth group was launched on July 27 and the sixth on July 30.</p>\n<p> The satellites were manufactured by GalaxySpace, a Beijing-based private satellite company, at its "smart factory" in Nantong, Jiangsu province, that features highly intelligent assembly robots and automatic quality testing systems.</p>\n<p> Monday's launch was the first time that satellites designed and built by a private company were deployed as part of the national mega-constellation project.</p>\n<p> The first six groups of space-based assets in this network were made by State-owned entities such as the Innovation Academy for Microsatellites of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the China Academy of Space Technology, a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp.</p>\n<p> Previously, several GalaxySpace satellites were launched to take part in a technology demonstration for the State-owned internet network, but they are of an experimental nature and are not formal members in the network.</p>\n<p> Now, the private enterprise has become a leader in the domestic commercial satellite market, with 34 satellites that have been launched, ranging from China's first plate-shaped satellites equipped with foldable solar arrays to the nation's first communications satellite with a transmission capacity of 10 gigabits per second.</p>\n<p> "Next, GalaxySpace will make all-out efforts to develop core technologies that meet major needs of our nation's space industry, including cutting-edge phased array antennas, mega-constellation networking solutions, on-board large-scale energy systems and digital processing payloads," Hu Zhao, a senior satellite designer at Galaxy-Space, said on Tuesday.</p>\n<p> He said the company will also speed up the low-cost mass production of satellites and various key equipment, and continuously push the boundaries of technological capabilities, so as to contribute to forming China's independent and reliable space infrastructure.</p>\n<p> Monday's mission marked China's 43rd space launch this year and also the second flight of the Long March 12 rocket model.</p>\n<p> Designed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, the Long March 12 is the 22nd member of the Long March family, the backbone of China's space sector, and the 17th in the operating fleet.</p>\n<p> It is the first Chinese rocket to have a diameter of 3.8 meters — most Chinese rockets have a diameter of 3.35 meters, a standard width set in the 1960s considering constraining factors in rail transport.</p>\n<p> Standing 62.6 meters tall, equivalent to the height of 22 stories of a standard residential building, the two-stage model is the second highest in all Chinese rockets, only exceeded by the 62.8-meter Long March 5.</p>\n<p> <span>zhaolei@chinadaily.com.cn</span></p>\n<p></p>",
