Guizhou thoroughly implements the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, takes "rich mineral fine development" as the key starting point, takes the "six major industrial bases" such as resource intensive processing as the backbone and pillar, actively applies digital intelligence technology and green technology, and accelerates the high-end, intelligent and green transformation of traditional industries.
Extending and strengthening the chain to increase added value—
In Wengan County (瓮安县), Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture (黔南布依族苗族自治州), the first phase of the 100,000-ton iron phosphate project of Guizhou Yayou New Materials Co., Ltd. (贵州雅友新材料有限公司) is operating at full capacity, with an estimated annual output value of over 1 billion yuan.
This is a sample of Guizhou's full utilization of resource advantages and extension of the industrial chain. Focusing on intensive mineral use, Guizhou promotes the extension and strengthening of the industrial chain of phosphorus, manganese, aluminum and other industries. The phosphorus chemical industry increases the proportion of high value-added products such as fine phosphate, and the aluminum chemical industry accelerates the development of high-strength aluminum alloys and lightweight automotive materials.
"There are more than 100 projects under construction with an investment of more than 100 million yuan in the province's resource intensive processing base, with a total investment of more than 120 billion yuan. A number of mining industry clusters with a value of 10 billion yuan and 100 billion yuan are being cultivated," said Ao Hong (敖鸿), director of the Guizhou Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology (贵州省工业和信息化厅).
On this basis, Guizhou adheres to the "power battery + energy storage battery" dual-track layout and the "new energy vehicle + new energy storage system" dual-extension development to promote the full chain development of complete vehicles.
At present, the second phase of the Guiyang Fudi Battery (贵阳弗迪电池) project and the Guizhou base of CATL New Energy Battery (宁德时代新能源电池贵州基地) have been completed, and Geely Galaxy E5 (吉利银河E5), Yangtze Electric Heavy Truck (长江电动重卡) and other models have achieved mass production. In the first five months of this year, Guizhou's automobile production reached 80,000 vehicles, an increase of 320.2% year-on-year, of which new energy vehicle production exceeded 71,000 vehicles.
Digital and real integration, intelligent production—
Every 25 seconds, a precision bead is produced.
In the workshop of Guizhou Tire Co., Ltd. (贵州轮胎股份有限公司), dozens of automatic handling vehicles shuttle back and forth, and mechanical arms and bead robots precisely operate each process. "Using intelligent technologies such as machine vision to perform high-resolution X-ray detection of tires, visible quality defects are reduced by 57%, and production efficiency is increased by 68%," said Peng Bolang (彭波浪), a staff member of the Guizhou Tire Heavy-duty Radial Tire Branch.
Since the "14th Five-Year Plan", Guizhou has cumulatively approved more than 60 national digital field pilot demonstrations, typical cases and solutions. As of the end of last year, Guizhou's non-ferrous metals, coal mines, chemical and other industries have achieved significant results in intelligent transformation and digital transformation. More than 30,000 enterprises have used cloud services, and the level of integration of informatization and industrialization has reached 60.1.
Since the beginning of this year, Guizhou has unswervingly focused on industry, striving to stabilize existing stock and expand incremental growth, coordinating the cultivation of new kinetic energy and the renewal of old kinetic energy, actively promoting the coordinated development of phosphorus chemical, coal chemical, fluorine chemical and other industries, promoting the downstream extension of the aluminum and aluminum processing industry chain, and striving to achieve an output value of 330 billion yuan in the resource intensive processing industry.
"Guizhou will keep in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest entrustment, focus on industries and mainly on industry, strengthen innovation leadership and digital intelligence empowerment, let traditional industries 老树发新芽 (lǎo shù fā xīn yá - "old trees sprout new buds," old things take on a new lease of life), and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system with Guizhou characteristics," said Xu Lin (徐麟), Secretary of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee (贵州省委).

"You, with your love for the Party and the people, and your adherence to artistic ideals, have created vivid and lively images on the screen," General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) recently wrote back to eight film artists including Tian Hua (田华), expressing his earnest expectations for film workers.
The people are the mother of art and literature, and life is the source of creation. With rich life experience and simple, abundant emotions, actress Tian Hua (田华) portrayed the hardworking, kind, and indomitable "Xi'er" with flesh and blood. Only by taking root in the people and the fertile soil of life can we create truly touching works.
How to create more high-quality masterpieces? The key is to perceive the artistic pulse from the pulse of the times. The struggle and grand picture of the new era is so magnificent, that we must immerse our hearts, emotions, and thoughts among the people, keep up with the pace of the times, strive for excellence, and adhere to integrity and innovation.
Promoting Chinese-style modernization requires not only material abundance but also spiritual enrichment. Transforming love and dedication into practical actions to prosper and develop the cause of art and literature and build a strong cultural country, providing the people with more and better spiritual nourishment, will surely write new glory on the new journey.

In China's automotive industry, Anhui Province (安徽省) plays an important role. This can be seen from a set of data:
In 2023, the revenue of Anhui Province's (安徽省) automotive industry chain enterprises exceeded one trillion yuan for the first time, and in 2024 it exceeded 1.5 trillion yuan, maintaining a growth rate of over 20% for two consecutive years.
In 2024, Anhui's (安徽) automobile exports ranked among the top in the country, with one out of every four exported vehicles being "Made in Anhui (安徽)".
From January to May this year, Anhui's (安徽) automobile and new energy vehicle production were 1.2357 million and 613,300 units respectively, both ranking among the top in the country.
…………
Behind the numbers is the result of Anhui's (安徽) automotive industry's accumulated strength.
In October 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out during his inspection in Anhui (安徽): "We must safeguard the foundation of the real economy, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, strengthen strategic emerging industries, proactively plan for future industries, develop new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions, and build an advanced manufacturing cluster with international competitiveness."
Bearing in mind the General Secretary's instructions, in recent years, Anhui (安徽) has accelerated the creation of a new energy vehicle industry cluster with international competitiveness, emphasizing innovation leadership, integrated development, and promoting growth through strength, and is becoming a new highland for the development of the automotive industry.
Why is the automotive industry so outstanding?
Innovation capability is the gene. NIO's (蔚来) advanced manufacturing Xinqiao No. 2 factory relies on industrial artificial intelligence algorithms, with 80% of manufacturing scenarios decided by artificial intelligence.
"The entire factory is highly automated, and can operate normally even in a 'black light' state," said Yang Yi (杨易), head of public affairs at NIO Manufacturing (蔚来制造).
NIO's (蔚来汽车) "Cube" vehicle access platform is like a giant intelligent "claw machine." Within the six layers and 408 parking spaces, vehicles of different colors are "grabbed" according to orders, reducing sorting time and shortening the process distance by 20%.
"The characteristics of high flexibility and modularity enable rapid response to personalized production, greatly improving production efficiency," said Li Bin (李斌), chairman of NIO (蔚来汽车).
With innovation, the whole game is activated. Chery Automobile's (奇瑞汽车) new generation Kunpeng (鲲鹏) engine achieves a thermal efficiency of over 48%, and Guoxuan High-tech's (国轩高科) first all-solid-state battery experimental line is officially connected... More and more new technologies, new processes, and new products in the automotive field are accelerating their implementation in Anhui (安徽).
"The automotive industry has once again become a high point of technological innovation. In the future, we will invest more funds in technology research and development to contribute to the development of the automotive industry," said Li Bin (李斌).
A complete industrial chain system and layout is key.
Anhui (安徽) has gathered seven vehicle manufacturers, including Chery Group (奇瑞集团), NIO (蔚来汽车), Volkswagen Anhui (大众安徽), Hefei BYD (合肥比亚迪), JAC Group (江汽集团), Hefei Changan (合肥长安), and Hanma Technology (汉马科技), and has cultivated more than 3,000 component enterprises above a designated size.
Within a radius of less than 30 minutes' drive from the JAC (江淮) vehicle factory, many supply chain companies are gathered. Huating (Hefei) Power Technology Co., Ltd. (华霆（合肥）动力技术有限公司) is a battery packaging company that has produced more than 2 million power battery systems. From an industry perspective, Huating Power (华霆动力) is in the middle of the industrial chain. "Upstream, we cooperate with about 20 cell manufacturers; downstream, we design power battery systems for about 60 vehicle manufacturers," said Wang Yang (王扬), president of Huating Power (华霆动力).
In 2023, the Anhui Provincial Party Committee (安徽省委) and the Anhui Provincial Government (安徽省政府) issued the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening Innovation Leadership and Accelerating the Construction of a New Energy Vehicle Industry Cluster with International Competitiveness," guiding various cities to develop in a differentiated manner based on their industrial foundation and advantages, and to build an integrated development pattern with "Hefei (合肥) - Wuhu (芜湖)" as a dual-core linkage and other cities as multi-point support.
Data shows that in 2024, Hefei (合肥) and Wuhu (芜湖) contributed a total of 74.8% to the growth of the province's automotive industry chain, and the growth of the automotive parts industry in northern Anhui (皖北) accelerated, with revenue growth leading the province by 20.8 percentage points.
Cross-border integration and open cooperation are the trends.
On June 13, 120 Ankai (安凯) new energy buses under JAC Motors (江淮汽车) set off for Kyrgyzstan.
On June 18, the mass production ceremony of the Zunjie (尊界) S800 was held at the Hefei Zunjie Super Factory (合肥尊界超级工厂). This flagship car, jointly built by JAC Motors (江淮汽车) and Huawei (华为), started mass production, breaking the history of million-yuan-level cars being monopolized by foreign manufacturers.
Based in China and looking at the world, Anhui (安徽) is deepening multi-dimensional cooperation in the automotive field.
"In terms of the international market, Anhui's (安徽) automotive industry's 'circle of friends' has expanded to more than 150 countries and regions. From January to May this year, Anhui's (安徽) automobile exports continued to rank among the top in the country," said Liu Wenfeng (刘文峰), Deputy Director of the Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission (安徽省发展改革委). "Next, Anhui (安徽) will widely link various resources to promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, and make more contributions to China's transition from a large automobile country to a strong automobile country."
Return to TopThis newspaper reported from Osaka, Japan on July 11th (Reporter Zhu Yueying (朱玥颖)) The China National Pavilion Day of the 2025 Japan World Expo in Osaka was held in Osaka, Japan on the 11th. He Lifeng (何立峰), member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, attended the event and delivered a speech.
He Lifeng (何立峰) stated that the World Expo is an important platform for promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, promoting social prosperity and progress, and enhancing friendship among people of all countries. The Chinese government attaches great importance to participating in the Osaka World Expo. Under the personal attention of President Xi Jinping (习近平), the China Pavilion made a brilliant appearance with the theme of "Building a Community of Life for Man and Nature - The Future Society of Green Development." Based on China's vivid practices in ecological civilization construction, it focuses on promoting China's development concept of respecting nature, conforming to nature, and protecting nature, and looks forward to China working with other countries in the world to jointly build a beautiful vision of a community of life for man and nature. Through wonderful exhibitions, rich interactive experiences, and diverse cultural and exchange activities, global audiences will surely see a real, beautiful, credible, lovable, and respectable China through the China Pavilion.
He Lifeng (何立峰) emphasized that China and Japan are close neighbors that cannot be moved away and have a history of friendly exchanges for more than 2,000 years. Last November, President Xi Jinping (习近平) held a meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida (石破茂), providing strategic guidance for the development of bilateral relations. China is willing to work with Japan to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, jointly commit to promoting China-Japan strategic and mutually beneficial relations, and build a constructive and stable China-Japan relationship that meets the requirements of the new era.
He Lifeng (何立峰) visited the China Pavilion and the Japan Pavilion at the Osaka World Expo, and had friendly exchanges with Hiroshi Moriyama (森山裕), Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, and the Kansai Economic Federation (关西经济团体) and other attendees of the China National Pavilion Day activities.

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委) and the National Energy Administration (国家能源局) issued the "Reply on the Plan for a Regular Electricity Transaction Mechanism Across Power Grid Operating Areas," proposing that the State Grid Corporation of China (国家电网公司) and China Southern Power Grid (南方电网公司) should further unify market rules, transaction varieties, and transaction timing before the end of this year to achieve regular opening of cross-grid transactions. This is a landmark move in building a unified national electricity market, and is of great significance for breaking up the electricity market segmentation and optimizing the allocation of electricity resources nationwide.
A relevant official from the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委) introduced that the State Grid (国家电网) and China Southern Power Grid (南方电网) have formed relatively complete electricity markets within their respective operating areas. However, previously, the two electricity markets were not interconnected, and there was a lack of a regular market transaction mechanism between the two grids. Electricity mutual assistance was mainly based on intergovernmental agreements and emergency dispatch, with "**一线一议**" (yī xiàn yī yì - "one line, one discussion," dealing with each case separately) and "**一事一议**" (yī shì yī yì - "one matter, one discussion," dealing with each issue separately), resulting in low frequency, small scale, and poor flexibility, which restricted the full utilization of inter-grid channels and the full发挥 (fā huī - "bring into play") of mutual assistance.
With the continuous advancement of the construction of a new power system, the high proportion of new energy access has increased the randomness and volatility of the system. The demand for promoting the consumption of surplus new energy and ensuring the safe and stable supply of electricity nationwide by relying on large power grids is becoming increasingly urgent. The segmentation of the electricity market between the State Grid (国网) and China Southern Power Grid (南网) has become a key bottleneck in building a unified national electricity market.
"The introduction of a regular electricity transaction mechanism across power grid operating areas is like establishing a nationwide 'online electricity mall.' The electricity resources of the two major operating areas, the State Grid (国网) and China Southern Power Grid (南网), can flow smoothly under unified transaction rules, achieving mutual assistance to make up for surpluses and deficiencies, releasing market competition vitality, and improving resource utilization efficiency," said Han Fang (韩放), Deputy Director of the Planning and Development Department of the China Electricity Council (中国电力企业联合会).
Under this mechanism framework, the Guangzhou Power Exchange Center (广州电力交易中心) and the Beijing Power Exchange Center (北京电力交易中心) jointly organized and reached an electricity mutual assistance transaction from the South to East China from July to September, becoming the largest cross-operating area market-oriented electricity transaction in the country. From July 1 to September 15, more than 2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity from Guangdong (广东), Guangxi (广西), and Yunnan (云南) will be transmitted to Shanghai (上海), Zhejiang (浙江), Anhui (安徽), and Fujian (福建) through the Min-Guangdong Interconnection Project (闽粤联网工程) and related connecting channels, supporting the local peak summer electricity supply guarantee around the clock.
A relevant official from the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展改革委) introduced that the plan, combined with the development trend of a unified national electricity market, proposes near-term, mid-term, and long-term work goals for cross-grid operating area transactions. This year, cross-grid operating area transactions will be opened regularly in annual, monthly, intra-month, and spot transaction cycles, strongly supporting electricity supply during the summer, organizing multi-directional green electricity transactions, meeting the green electricity consumption needs of key areas such as the Yangtze River Delta (长三角) and the Greater Bay Area (大湾区), and exploring the signing of multi-year green electricity transactions.
According to the reply, the State Grid Corporation of China (国家电网公司) and China Southern Power Grid (南方电网公司) should continue to improve cross-grid transaction rules, strengthen the interconnection and interoperability of technical platforms and the mutual recognition of information sharing, and achieve "one-place registration, national sharing" for electricity market members as soon as possible.

An LED lighting company made an error in classifying its products when declaring exports. After the products were shipped abroad, it was heavily fined $90,000 by the local customs. If they had done their homework in advance, this situation could have been completely avoided..." At 2 PM on June 26th, the banquet hall on the 2nd floor of the Shangri-La Hotel in Suzhou New District (苏州高新区) , Jiangsu (江苏) was packed. A foreign trade training session was being held here. The lecturers combined vivid cases that happened around them to answer questions on the spot, teaching companies to avoid detours and accurately "avoid pitfalls" when carrying out foreign trade business.
In a seat near the front of the stage, Xu Ronghua, project director of Yuanye Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (远也科技（苏州）有限公司), listened and took notes, looking up unfamiliar words on his mobile phone. "It broadened my horizons and I also learned a lot of 'dry goods', which is of great help to carrying out foreign trade business," said Xu Ronghua.
Founded in 2019, Yuanye Technology is a new type of wearable robot company founded by an overseas returnee team. Xu Ronghua told reporters that as a young technology company, although it independently masters a number of key technologies, it also has the trouble of 酒香也怕巷子深 (jiǔ xiāng yě pà xiàng zi shēn - "even good wine fears deep alleys," even good products need marketing). Previously, its products were only sold domestically and had not formed a scale. At present, the company urgently needs to expand into overseas markets and achieve a "two-pronged approach."
Xu Ronghua frankly said that the company's team is an "expert" in scientific research, but when it comes to foreign trade, they are all "laymen" and know very little about import and export trade regulations and policies, trade processes, etc. What to do? Just when the company was confused, the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce (苏州市商务局) brought good news.
In order to better help companies "go global," the Suzhou (苏州) Foreign Trade Stabilization Work Team planned and carried out a series of "online + offline" training activities, with economic policies, financial services, cross-border transformation, etc. as the themes, organized by relevant departments, and invited industry experts and leading companies to share experiences and answer questions.
After receiving the invitation, Xu Ronghua signed up for the training class as soon as possible. After several training sessions, he gained a lot. "At this time last year, I was still a foreign trade 'novice', but now, I understand all the professional issues such as how to settle cross-border payments and how to avoid legal risks abroad," Xu Ronghua said with a smile. During this period, the company is negotiating with a third-party trading company to prepare for the export of its products.
At present, this kind of targeted foreign trade training is being widely carried out in Suzhou (苏州). Companies have needs, government departments take the initiative, and the market also responds quickly.
Leaving the gate of Yuanye Technology (远也科技), driving south all the way, you will arrive at Nanhua Building (南华大厦) in Shengze Town (盛泽镇), Wujiang District (吴江区). In the office on the 17th floor, Zhou Jianqiang, the person in charge of Suzhou Henderly International Exhibition Co., Ltd. (苏州亨德利国际会展有限公司), is answering a call from the person in charge of a textile company.
"Can we participate? How do we sign up?" The tone on the other end of the phone was sincere.
"Please wait for my notification, the next training session will start soon," Zhou Jianqiang replied on the spot.
Zhou Jianqiang, 46, is an "old foreign trader" in the textile industry in Shengze Town (盛泽镇). He travels all over the world all year round to attract orders for domestic textile companies.
After running on the front line of foreign trade for 15 years, Zhou Jianqiang is well aware of the pain points of the industry. He told reporters that many domestic textile companies like to "join in the fun" when expanding overseas markets, and it is difficult to accurately "attract customers." They often invest regardless of cost, but end up with little effect.
Zhou Jianqiang told reporters an example that happened around him. At the end of last year, a textile company in Shengze Town (盛泽镇) spent more than 200,000 yuan and ran to Germany with confidence to participate in a high-level industry exhibition, but after a few days, they were greatly disappointed. They only sent out one business card and did not get a single letter of intent.
What's the problem? "The company found the wrong market. Its products did not match the positioning of the exhibition. If it had gone to Poland next door to participate in some medium-sized exhibitions, not only would the expenses be reduced by half, but it would most likely be able to obtain orders," Zhou Jianqiang said.
This matter touched him a lot. At the beginning of this year, Zhou Jianqiang had an idea: to organize companies and hold a systematic foreign trade knowledge training. Zhou Jianqiang found some textile companies in Shengze Town (盛泽镇) who wanted to expand their foreign trade business. When he asked, everyone wanted to participate.
As soon as he said it, he did it. Zhou Jianqiang quickly invited professional teachers from Soochow University (苏州大学), put chairs in his company's office, set up a podium, and conducted a two-month systematic training for the companies.
What to talk about? Professional teachers are responsible for teaching knowledge such as foreign trade processes, commonly used trade terms, and payment methods. Zhou Jianqiang mainly talked about "practical skills," such as "be sure to seize the golden 48 hours after the exhibition to visit customers" and "why only 20% of domestic textile companies running businesses in Bangladesh make money"...
"I didn't expect to have such a big gain. A few months ago, there was no one in the company who understood foreign trade. Soon after participating in the training, we received a large order of more than 3 million yuan," said Wang Qingwei, chairman of Suzhou Maidong Textile Technology Co., Ltd. (苏州迈冬纺织科技有限公司).
Maidong Textile (迈冬纺织) is a medium-sized textile company in Shengze (盛泽) with more than 2,000 product categories and annual sales of more than 200 million yuan. Wang Qingwei told reporters that the company wanted to expand its overseas business a few years ago, but it had no way to do so and had made no progress. This time, Maidong Textile (迈冬纺织) sent two employees to participate in the entire training.
Not long after the end of the training, in early May, the Suzhou (苏州) Foreign Trade Stabilization Work Team launched the "Hundred Groups and Thousand Enterprises" overseas plan. Zhou Jianqiang seized the opportunity and signed up for more than a dozen companies participating in the training.
At the end of May, Wang Qingwei took the newly formed foreign trade team to Morocco. For the first time "going out," Wang Qingwei did not have high hopes. When he arrived at the exhibition site, he promoted products, negotiated prices, and visited customers according to the methods he learned in the training class... For example, make the biggest concession on the price of a certain product, first win the customer over, and then use the advantages of your product being "large and complete" to put the profit point on other products. At the same time, after the exhibition, Wang Qingwei struck while the iron was hot and visited customers as soon as possible to discuss more in-depth details. "I didn't expect these methods to be so effective. In a few days, the company won a large order of 70,000 meters of fabric," Wang Qingwei said.
Having tasted the sweetness, Wang Qingwei decided to vigorously develop the foreign trade market. In the following September and December, he will take the team to many European countries to participate in local professional exhibitions.
Recently, Maidong Textile (迈冬纺织) invested more than 3 million yuan to renovate the 500-square-meter vacant office on the fifth floor of the company. Soon, the foreign trade department will also expand its recruitment, and the new employees recruited will work here. "We are going to make a big splash," Wang Qingwei said.

China's first batch of second-generation resident identity cards with a 20-year validity period, which were centrally issued from the end of 2004 to 2008, are gradually expiring, and various regions will usher in a peak period for renewal.
Data shows that from 2025 to 2028, the number of resident identity cards expiring and requiring renewal for registered residents in Ningbo (宁波), Zhejiang (浙江) Province, will reach 1.87 million, approximately three times the total amount of the previous four years. In 2028, the number of resident identity cards expiring and requiring renewal for registered residents in Leshan (乐山), Sichuan (四川) Province, will reach 410,000.
The Resident Identity Card Law stipulates that citizens should renew their identity cards after their validity expires. What are the precautions for renewing identity cards? What convenient measures have local public security organs introduced?
Nationwide processing is more convenient. Resident identity card services have achieved "nationwide processing." Even if the applicant does not reside in their place of registered residence, they can bring their original resident identity card and choose the nearest comprehensive window of a public security police station to apply for renewal. To facilitate renewal, in addition to processing at the comprehensive window of the police station, public security organs in many places have also launched online processing and self-service processing, as well as other convenient services.
The application period is more optimized. To facilitate this centralized renewal, public security organs in Shanghai (上海), Jiangsu (江苏), Guangdong (广东), and other places have extended the deadline for applying for renewal of new resident identity cards from "three months before the expiration date" to "six months before the expiration date."
The processing method is more flexible. The Guangxi (广西) public security organs adjust working hours based on changes in the volume of certificate processing business, and promote "appointment-based, staggered-peak, and extended-hours" services. Office workers and students who are inconvenient to take leave on weekdays can go to designated windows on weekends and holidays to process their applications. Public security organs in Liaoning (辽宁), Guangdong (广东), and other places have launched "nearby processing, door-to-door processing, and online processing" services. The public can choose to go to the nearest police station or government service center household registration window for processing according to their own circumstances, or process the entire process online through WeChat official accounts, mobile phone applications, and other platforms, without having to go to the site.
Expedited processing is more considerate. In addition, people with urgent needs for certificates can apply for expedited processing services for identity card renewal through the "green channel" built by the public security organs. In some areas, the time for expedited processing of identity cards has been shortened to within 7 working days. The Leshan (乐山) public security organs have also set up household administration service points in scenic spots to provide off-site renewal and replacement services for identity cards for tourists from other places.
The police remind that after the resident identity card expires, it will not be possible to purchase air tickets, train tickets, etc. normally, and it will also affect hotel check-in, financial savings, and other businesses. According to the law, citizens who urgently need to use their resident identity card during the application for renewal of their resident identity card can apply for a temporary resident identity card. To ensure that daily life and work are not affected, it is recommended that the public plan the date of identity card renewal in advance, choose the appropriate processing method according to their own circumstances, and update their identity information in a timely manner.
Return to TopThis newspaper Guangdong (广东) Jieyang (揭阳) July 11th (Reporters Hu Jian (胡健) and Wang Yunna (王云娜)) Turning waste plastic into treasure has become a reality. On July 11th, the Dongyue Chemical (东粤化学) 200,000-ton/year mixed waste plastic recycling demonstration project located in the Guangdong (广东) Jieyang (揭阳) Da Nan Hai (大南海) Petrochemical Industrial Zone (石化工业区) successfully completed its trial production. All process indicators met expectations, marking the industrial validation of this continuous, large-scale waste plastic chemical recycling project and opening up an industrialization path for the high-value, harmless utilization of waste plastics.
The project uses a self-developed industrial device for deep pyrolysis of mixed waste plastics, which directly converts low-value mixed waste plastics of different materials into high value-added chemical raw materials. It overcomes industry problems that restrict the recycling of mixed waste plastics, such as the difficulty of sorting waste plastics and the easy corrosion of hydrogen chloride, which will effectively solve the problem of waste plastic pollution and achieve high-value recycling.
Yang Zhaohe (杨朝合), Deputy Director of the State Key Laboratory of Heavy Oil and member of the Chemical Engineering Steering Committee of the Ministry of Education, said that the successful trial production fills the industrial technology gap in the chemical recycling of waste plastics. This will promote the transformation of the petrochemical industry from "relying on primary resource crude oil processing" to "green processing of waste plastic resource recycling." With large-scale industrialization, the project will attract a number of upstream and downstream supporting enterprises such as green chemical manufacturing and recycled plastic processing, forming a green chemical industry chain of "waste plastic sorting - recycled chemical raw materials - green high-end materials."
Return to TopFrom July 10th to 11th, the Ministerial Conference of the Global Civilization Dialogue, co-hosted by the Central Propaganda Department (中宣部) of the Communist Party of China (中共) and the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中共中央对外联络部), was held in Beijing (北京). More than 600 people from all walks of life from about 140 countries and regions had in-depth exchanges and built consensus around the theme of "Maintaining the Diversity of Human Civilizations and Jointly Promoting World Peace and Development," jointly contributing wisdom and strength to promoting mutual understanding among people of all countries and the harmonious coexistence of different civilizations.
"The Global Civilization Initiative is not only an initiative, but also a gift to the world."
The "Global Civilization Initiative" is a hot topic inside and outside the venue. The participating guests generally believe that the Global Civilization Initiative has been increasingly recognized by the international community since it was proposed more than two years ago, and has developed into a global consensus, constantly transforming into vivid explorations and practices,凝聚促进人类和平与发展的文明力量 (níng jù cù jìn rén lèi hé píng yǔ fā zhǎn de wén míng lì liàng - "gathering the civilizational strength to promote human peace and development," accumulating and focusing the power of civilization to advance peace and development for humanity), injecting stability and certainty into the world.
"The Global Civilization Initiative is not only an initiative, but also a gift to the world," said Irina Bokova, former Director-General of UNESCO. The Global Civilization Initiative promotes world peace, harmony and unity, not only focusing on the future, but also reflected in daily life. World development is based on the integration and interaction of diverse civilizations, and cultural diversity should be a driving force for stimulating exchanges and enhancing understanding.
"In today's complex and volatile world, it is very encouraging that China adheres to the Global Civilization Initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping (习近平) and responds to the international community's call for enhancing dialogue and exchanges among civilizations," said Gert Grobler, former senior South African diplomat. The world's civilizations are rich and colorful and cannot be measured by one standard. Mutual understanding, deepened communication, and seeking common ground while reserving differences can凝聚共识和力量 (níng jù gòng shí hé lì liàng - "gather consensus and strength," to build consensus and strength) for human unity in addressing common challenges.
The "Global Public Opinion Survey Blue Book on 'Our View of Civilization'" released during the conference showed that the Global Civilization Initiative was highly recognized by respondents, with 90.8% of respondents agreeing that "respect for diversity is a basic principle that the international community should follow," and 91.8% of respondents agreeing that "the relationship between different cultures should be mainly cooperation rather than confrontation." Core concepts such as cultural diversity, equal dialogue, and win-win cooperation have become a universal consensus in the international community.
"Last month, we celebrated the first 'International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations.' It was initiated by China, and the relevant resolution was unanimously adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, reflecting the international community's unanimous recognition of strengthening cultural exchanges," said Carole Bureau-Bonnard, former First Vice-President of the French National Assembly. Only by getting closer to each other can we deepen understanding and enhance friendship. Cultural exchanges are conducive to promoting the sharing of human wisdom and achievements by people of all countries.
Abdel Mahmoud Ahmed Aboulmagd, former Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs of Egypt, believes that China's proposal of the Global Civilization Initiative, advocating ideas such as respecting the diversity of civilizations, promoting the common values of all mankind, attaching importance to the inheritance and innovation of civilizations, and strengthening international cultural exchanges and cooperation, injects impetus into promoting global peace and development and building a better world.
Rukoggo, assistant to the Director of External Relations of the National Resistance Movement of Uganda, said that the proposal of the Global Civilization Initiative is a major contribution to the progress of human civilization, reflecting China's active role as a responsible major country in the world. "This initiative has been recognized and welcomed by the international community, indicating that China's promotion of mutual learning among global civilizations is correct and feasible. In today's world, with increasing protectionism and isolationism, China's adherence to cultural exchanges is particularly valuable," said Rukoggo.
"Only exchange and dialogue and building trust can promote lasting cooperation."
From building an inclusive world to global development and prosperity, from cultural inheritance and innovation to people getting to know each other, from scientific and technological innovation and development to academic dialogue, the participating guests had extensive discussions on different perspectives of cultural exchange and mutual learning at six parallel sub-forums, further凝聚起共同加强文化传承与创新 (níng jù qǐ gòng tóng jiā qiáng wén huà chuán chéng yǔ chuàng xīn - "gathering together to strengthen cultural inheritance and innovation," to build a consensus on jointly strengthening cultural inheritance and innovation), and promoting the construction of a multi-dimensional global cultural dialogue and cooperation network.
"Promoting communication and exchanges among people of all countries will build a peaceful future," said José Centella, Chairman of the Communist Party of Spain. Civilizations are not superior or inferior, and countries, regardless of their size or strength, should respect and be inclusive of each other. In the face of global challenges, no country can be immune, and only joint cooperation can overcome challenges. Cultural dialogue is the foundation for carrying out cooperation.
"Cultural differences should not be seen as obstacles," said Dato' Sri Dr. Rais Yatim, former President of the Senate of Malaysia. "We should regard cultural diversity as a force that stimulates creativity and enhances cohesion, and we should jointly inject positive energy into global peace and development."
Mandu, head of the African Youth Delegation to China, said that the times call for unity that embraces diversity, globalization that benefits everyone, and a future that leaves no civilization behind. At present, the Global South is increasingly becoming an important driving force for cultural exchange and economic globalization. As an important force in the Global South, cooperation between Africa and China shows the world that different civilizations can achieve common development and prosperity in mutual respect.
Nemanja Jović, State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, said that in this closely connected world, mankind faces multiple challenges that transcend national borders, and respecting cultural diversity is particularly important. "We appreciate China's proposed Global Civilization Initiative, which will promote peace, understanding and cooperation. In the face of global challenges, only exchange and dialogue and building trust can promote lasting cooperation."
"The power of civilization lies not in uniformity, but in diversity," said Chang Lih Kang, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation of Malaysia. "Embracing innovation while protecting and promoting civilizational traditions can build a more harmonious, connected and peaceful world. We hope that exchange and dialogue will become a catalyst for strengthening cooperation, enhancing understanding and promoting lasting partnerships, and jointly enhancing the well-being of all mankind."
Wirun Phichaiwongphakdee, Director of the Thai-Chinese "Belt and Road" Research Center in Thailand, said that the world today is intertwined with changes and chaos. This conference encourages and calls for maintaining the diversity of human civilizations, demonstrating the firm confidence of all countries in promoting global governance reform and deepening solidarity and cooperation in the Global South, and contributing valuable positive energy to the common development of human society.
"Looking forward to more countries benefiting from the Global Civilization Initiative and its practices."
The conference adopted the "Beijing Declaration of the Ministerial Conference of the Global Civilization Dialogue" and released a number of action plans on the theme of cultural dialogue. The participating guests actively evaluated the results of the conference, believing that China is actively building an international platform for cultural exchange and cooperation, constructing a global network for cultural dialogue and cooperation, and effectively promoting mutual understanding and mutual learning among different civilizations.
"This conference calls on us to open our hearts and listen to each other with our hearts. When we are willing to understand each other, we see not differences, but the beautiful expectations and common values that connect everyone together," said Esikiel Lippwe, Secretary of the Department of Education of the Federated States of Micronesia. The conference provided an important dialogue platform, which is helpful to promote long-term cooperation and sustainable development between countries.
Yuri Jiménez, Regional Coordinator of the Ministry of Women of Honduras, said that China has set an example in promoting cultural inheritance and development and promoting global cultural dialogue. "Honduras is famous for its splendid Mayan civilization. How to protect and utilize these civilizational treasures requires the common wisdom of all mankind. The Global Civilization Initiative and the exchanges and cooperation under its framework are very good concepts and platforms. We look forward to more countries benefiting from the Global Civilization Initiative and its practices."
From the historical sites of the Yellow River Basin to the cultural corridors of the water towns in Jiangnan (江南), from the Silk Road relics in the northwest desert to the cultural innovation of modern cities... Before the conference, guests from various countries visited many places, and China's long history and cultural heritage left a deep impression on them. Luís Ramalho, Director of the Portuguese Observatory of China, said after visiting the ancient capital of Xi'an (西安) that he felt the rich connotation of Chinese civilization and hoped that Europe and China could further learn from each other. Fonseca, Director of the Bureau of Curriculum of the University of Bogotá, Colombia, exclaimed after visiting Harbin (哈尔滨), "I experienced a humanistic and social style completely different from that of Latin America, and deeply felt the charm of exchanges between different civilizations."
French writer Maxime Vivas has just won the second Orchid Award. In his opinion, cultural exchange and mutual learning are a powerful force for promoting mutual understanding among countries and working together to address common challenges. "As a major cultural country, China has always maintained an open and inclusive attitude and promoted international cultural exchanges and cooperation in various forms, which is even more valuable in the current situation where cooperation is urgently needed to address global challenges," Vivas said.
George Katrougalos, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, said that China actively advocates the Global Civilization Initiative and proposed the establishment of the "International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations" last year. These actions and propositions are in line with the purposes and principles of the United Nations and contribute to maintaining cultural diversity and multilateralism.
Mohammed Mukhrafi, Deputy Secretary-General of the Yemeni Socialist Party, said that this conference demonstrated China's respect for other civilizations in the world, emphasizing that all civilizations are of equal importance, which is particularly important for developing countries and the least developed countries. "We must transcend civilizational divides and commit ourselves to building a colorful world through civilizational dialogue, exchange and cooperation, and contribute to addressing the common challenges facing mankind," he said.

Return to TopI. We, representatives of political parties, government ministers, and people from all walks of life from more than 140 countries, held the Ministerial Meeting of the Global Civilization Dialogue in Beijing (北京), China, from July 10 to 11, 2025. We conducted in-depth exchanges on the theme of "Maintaining the Diversity of Human Civilizations and Jointly Promoting World Peace and Development" and reached broad consensus.
II. We believe that diversity is a fundamental characteristic of the world and the charm of human civilization. Every civilization has its own unique and irreplaceable value. Different civilizations have jointly created a colorful garden of human civilization. Civilization is enriched by exchanges and developed by mutual learning. Exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations are an important driving force for promoting the progress of human civilization and world peace and development. Different countries and different nations should uphold equality and respect, support each other's independent choice of development paths and models, jointly safeguard the diversity of civilizations, and promote exchanges, dialogue, mutual learning, inclusiveness, and harmonious coexistence among different civilizations.
III. We see that the current international situation is intertwined with changes and chaos, geopolitical and bloc confrontation are surging, unilateralism and protectionism are on the rise, global economic development is suffering multiple shocks, the technological divide, the digital divide, and the intelligent divide are still widening, the climate change crisis is becoming increasingly severe, and the challenges facing the development of human civilization are becoming more complex and volatile. All countries should jointly uphold the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, establish a civilized view of equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness, pursue values such as peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom, deepen exchanges and cooperation, expand mutual learning, and work together to address global challenges and promote world peace and development.
IV. We believe that different civilizations embody the wisdom and creativity of the people of all countries. They advance with the times and complement each other, jointly constituting the valuable wealth of human civilization. Every civilization represents the spiritual bloodline of a country and a nation, and should be continuously developed in inheritance. We are willing to jointly promote the inheritance and innovation of civilization, strengthen exchanges and cooperation in the field of cultural heritage protection, inherit rich and diverse historical and cultural heritage, safeguard the achievements of human civilization, and promote the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional cultures of various countries.
V. We believe that strengthening people-to-people and cultural exchanges and cooperation is an effective way to eliminate civilizational estrangement and misunderstanding and promote mankind to work together to address global challenges. We call for increased people-to-people exchanges between countries, expanded exchanges and cooperation in various fields such as education, science and technology, culture, academia, think tanks, media, youth, tourism, sports, and art, promoted friendly exchanges between localities, enhanced mutual understanding among the people, and deepened understanding and mutual trust.
VI. We are willing to take this Ministerial Meeting of the Global Civilization Dialogue as an opportunity to continue to carry out multi-level and multi-field civilization dialogues, further enrich the content of exchanges, expand cooperation channels, improve mechanism platforms, explore the construction of a global civilization dialogue and cooperation network, stimulate the inexhaustible driving force for civilization progress, and jointly draw a new picture of human civilization.
VII. We sincerely thank China (中国) for its great efforts in hosting this meeting, appreciate China's (中国) important contributions to deepening exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and are willing to work with China (中国) to implement the Global Civilization Initiative and make positive contributions to promoting the common prosperity of world civilizations and building a community with a shared future for mankind.

Properly resolving the South China Sea issue cannot be achieved 一蹴而就 (yī cù ér jiù - "accomplish in one step," to achieve success in one go; to be done in one fell swoop). All relevant parties should demonstrate restraint and patience when exploring solutions, and on the basis of respecting historical facts, truly give play to the spirit of understanding and cooperation required by international law, jointly maintain the hard-won peace and stability in the South China Sea, and jointly create a future of win-win cooperation for all parties.
In recent years, every year around July 12th, international public opinion has seen rhetoric hyping up the so-called "South China Sea Arbitration Award" and its "ruling," and this year is no exception. Behind this lies both the strategic misjudgment of some claimant states in the South China Sea attempting to "substantiate" the arbitration "ruling" and strengthen unilateral claims, and the sinister intentions of individual extraterritorial forces to stir up the South China Sea situation and sow discord between China and ASEAN countries.
Although the international community has widely known and understood China's position of "not accepting or participating in the arbitration, and not accepting or recognizing the outcome of the ruling," a very small number of countries still have not fundamentally recognized the serious interference of the so-called arbitration "ruling" in the proper handling of the South China Sea issue by the countries concerned, the serious damage to the fairness and authority of the international dispute resolution mechanism, and the far-reaching harm to the international order based on international law.
The arbitration "ruling" runs counter to the international rule of law. The fundamental logic of those who hold the view that "the ruling is international law" lies in the fact that the "ruling" is made by the "arbitral tribunal" established in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanism of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (hereinafter referred to as the "Convention"), and is therefore legally "final and effective." However, the "arbitral tribunal" established at the unilateral request of the Philippines conducted ultra vires trials in violation of the principle of "state consent," and the "ruling" it made was destined to be water without a source and a tree without roots.
The "arbitral tribunal" disregarded the basic fact that the "Convention" does not adjust matters of territorial sovereignty, ignored the position and opinions expressed by China through public channels, and "accepted in full" the claims carefully packaged by the Philippines. In fact, it forcibly ruled on the attribution of territory, violating the basic principles and spirit of prudent self-discipline that international judicial and arbitral institutions habitually follow. This will not only shake the confidence of contracting states in the dispute resolution mechanism of the "Convention," but also damage the long-accumulated reputation of international judicial and arbitral institutions. The "arbitral tribunal" also used the name of "interpretation" to engage in the reality of "law-making," arbitrarily changing or even creating maritime law rules on issues such as "historical rights," "archipelagic wholeness," and "island system," subverting the qualification of states as subjects of international law.
The arbitration "ruling" runs counter to fairness and justice. The essential goal of international judicial and arbitral institutions is to maintain international fairness and justice, but an "arbitral tribunal" established for geopolitical purposes is clearly unable to assume this responsibility. At important time nodes in the advancement of the "arbitration case," the intention of individual extraterritorial countries to exert influence is obvious. The then President of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, who single-handedly established the "South China Sea Arbitral Tribunal," was Judge Shunji Yanai (柳井俊二), a Japanese national, who at the time also served as Chairman of the Advisory Panel on Legal Basis for Security of the Japanese government, secretly assisting Japan and the United States in strengthening their alliance and coordinating their policies on the Diaoyu Islands (钓鱼岛). In addition, the "arbitral tribunal" not only repeatedly allowed or even proactively requested the Philippines to submit supplementary so-called "evidence" outside of a reasonable time limit, but also directly adopted the Philippine expert report without questioning or carefully reviewing it, deviating from the general rules of evidence in international law.
The arbitration "ruling" runs counter to the purpose of settling disputes. The South China Sea issue concerns many countries, and territorial sovereignty disputes and maritime delimitation issues are intertwined, involving historical, political, legal and other factors. It is by no means something that any so-called "ruling" can finalize, let alone a unilateral "ruling" with a conclusion first and full of loopholes. The reason why the situation in the South China Sea is generally stable and controllable is not because the "arbitration ruling has resolved the relevant disputes." If some countries are still obsessed with the illusion that "the ruling is international law" and delusionally believe that China will accept a solution that has no fairness or justice, then they will inevitably be running in the opposite direction from resolving the South China Sea issue.
China's non-acceptance and non-recognition of the relevant "ruling," and non-acceptance of any claims and actions based on the relevant "ruling," is aimed at safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests conferred by international law, including the "Convention," and safeguarding the integrity, seriousness and authority of international law, including the "Convention." Properly resolving the South China Sea issue cannot be achieved 一蹴而就 (yī cù ér jiù - "accomplish in one step," to achieve success in one go; to be done in one fell swoop). All relevant parties should demonstrate restraint and patience when exploring solutions, and on the basis of respecting historical facts, truly give play to the spirit of understanding and cooperation required by international law, jointly maintain the hard-won peace and stability in the South China Sea, and jointly create a future of win-win cooperation for all parties.

Return to TopXinhua News Agency, Kuala Lumpur, July 11 (Reporters Mao Pengfei (毛鹏飞) and Wang Jiawei (王嘉伟)) On July 11, 2025, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar (安瓦尔) met with Wang Yi (王毅), a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, who was in Malaysia to attend the East Asia Cooperation Foreign Ministers' Meetings, in Putrajaya (布城).
Anwar asked Wang Yi (王毅) to convey his cordial greetings to President Xi Jinping (习近平), saying that China is a trustworthy friend and partner of Malaysia. President Xi Jinping's (习近平) successful visit this year was a major event in the history of Malaysia-China relations. President Xi Jinping's (习近平) concern and consideration for the future destiny of the world has won the heartfelt respect of the Malaysian government and people. Friendship with China is the consensus of the Malaysian government and people, and the results of cooperation between Malaysia and China in various fields have benefited the people of both countries. In today's world, cooperation mechanisms such as the BRICS countries are growing stronger, and all countries are pursuing independence, autonomy, development, and prosperity. China is playing a leading role in this, which Malaysia deeply appreciates.
Wang Yi (王毅) conveyed the cordial greetings of the Chinese leaders. Wang Yi (王毅) said that President Xi Jinping (习近平) paid a successful state visit to Malaysia in April this year, and the two sides announced the building of a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future. Under the joint leadership of the leaders of China and Malaysia, China-Malaysia relations have entered the best period in history. China is a sincere friend of Malaysia and is willing to work with Malaysia to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries and promote the construction of a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future to go deeper and more solid. China fully supports Malaysia in assuming the rotating chairmanship of ASEAN, supports Malaysia in playing a greater role in international and regional affairs, and looks forward to continuous new steps in China-ASEAN cooperation.
Wang Yi (王毅) said that the historical trend is 滚滚向前 (gǔn gǔn xiàng qián - "rolling forward," irresistible historical trend) and the rise of the Global South is unstoppable. As developing countries, emerging economies, and important representatives of the Global South, China and Malaysia should work together to meet challenges and seek common development and revitalization. The United States' unilateral imposition of high tariffs is irresponsible and unpopular. China will always stand with the vast number of developing countries, adhere to high-level opening up, share the dividends of China's super-large market, and jointly make the cake of cooperation and win-win bigger.
During the visit, Wang Yi (王毅) also met with Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad (穆罕默德).
Return to TopXinhua News Agency, Kuala Lumpur, July 11th (Reporters Wang Jiawei (王嘉伟) and Mao Pengfei (毛鹏飞)) On July 11, 2025, the 15th East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers' Meeting was held in Kuala Lumpur. Wang Yi (王毅), Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, attended and delivered a speech.
Wang Yi (王毅) stated that this year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the East Asia Summit, and all parties should take this as an opportunity to enhance understanding and trust, maintain peace and stability, and promote development and prosperity. China proposes three suggestions:
First, return to dialogue. The original intention of the summit was to conduct constructive dialogue and enhance strategic mutual trust. However, in recent years, individual countries outside the region have deviated from the track, frequently using the summit platform to hype up differences, attack other countries, and interfere in internal affairs. It is hoped that all parties can respect each other, communicate with goodwill, and focus on enhancing understanding and cooperation. China supports the issuance of a commemorative declaration on the 20th anniversary of the summit this year, pointing out the direction for the future development of the summit.
Second, return to development. We must focus on development as the greatest common denominator, and through pragmatic cooperation, strive to enable the people of the East Asia region to live a good life. Unilateralism and protectionism are short-sighted and dangerous. The best choice for all parties is to enlarge the pie of cooperation and share the fruits of development. China is willing to work with all parties to implement the East Asia Summit Action Plan and stimulate regional growth vitality.
Third, return to openness. A beneficial experience of East Asia cooperation is to practice open regionalism. We support the ASEAN-led (东盟) regional cooperation architecture, firmly defend the multilateral trading system, build a high-level regional free trade network, and promote regional integration. We oppose introducing Cold War thinking and camp confrontation into this region, and oppose "starting anew" to engage in closed and exclusive "small circles."
Wang Yi (王毅) emphasized that the root cause of the tension in the Taiwan Strait is the increasingly rampant separatist acts of "Taiwan independence" and the connivance and support of external forces. Some people claim to safeguard the stability of the Taiwan Strait. If they really care about peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, they should resolutely stop the "Taiwan independence" forces from growing stronger. Some people propose not to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait, but the most fundamental status quo in the Taiwan Strait is that Taiwan and the mainland belong to one China. Safeguarding its sovereignty and territorial integrity is the sacred mission of every country. It is hoped that all countries will continue to adhere to the one-China principle with a clear-cut stand, oppose any form of "Taiwan independence," and support China's great cause of reunification.
Wang Yi (王毅) also clarified China's solemn position on the South China Sea issue.
On the same day, Wang Yi (王毅) attended the ASEAN Regional Forum Foreign Ministers' Meeting and continued to meet with foreign ministers of relevant countries.

General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized the need to utilize "distinctive resources such as ethnic customs to develop the tourism industry," and to "make ethnic characteristics more vibrant in utilization and continuously radiate new brilliance."
Ethnic costumes, traditional crafts, distinctive architecture, and other elements carry diverse ethnic customs and are a treasure trove for tourism. In recent years, many ethnic regions have based themselves on unique customs to create rich immersive tourism experiences for tourists. Ethnic characteristics inject new impetus into tourism development, and the endless stream of tourists also inject new vitality into the protection and development of ethnic cultures.
In Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture (延边朝鲜族自治州), Jilin Province—
Wear ethnic costumes and pound rice cakes for beautiful photos
Lights illuminate the mirror, highlighting the ethnic charm of the plain white dress and the ribbons at the ends of the hair. In a travel photography shop in the China Korean Folk Garden (中国朝鲜族民俗园) in Yanji City (延吉市), Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture (延边朝鲜族自治州), Jilin Province, Wang Lan (王岚), a tourist from Guangdong, raises her mobile phone to the mirror, recording the beautiful moment of her transformation into a Korean girl.
Wang Lan (王岚) and her friends experienced a unique ethnic culture in the process of changing clothes, taking photos, and touring the park.
Inside the travel photography shop, one Korean costume after another is beautiful and dazzling, and makeup artists and photographers shuttle among them; outside the travel photography shop, traditional Korean houses with blue tiles and white walls are scattered in a well-proportioned manner.
"Grasping the psychology of tourists who desire to take beautiful photos and providing good service is the key for our folk garden to attract tourists." Zhu Baokun (朱保坤), Director of Operations of the China Korean Folk Garden (中国朝鲜族民俗园), introduced that the folk garden has migrated nine century-old houses from ancient villages as a whole on the basis of strict demonstration and good protection and repair, and used them as the main body to create a comprehensive folk tourism destination, enrich tourism formats, and enhance the tourist experience.
Having the "form" of architecture also requires the "spirit" of culture.
The folk garden uses century-old houses to create a "non-heritage cultural exhibition and tour area," bringing together representative inheritors of intangible cultural heritage projects such as Korean traditional rice cake making skills and Korean folk pottery making skills; it cooperates with Yanbian University (延边大学) and others to create a live-action performance "Impression of Yanji (印象延吉)," and performs fan dances, long drum dances, and gayageum performances; during festivals, it also carries out Korean characteristic intangible cultural heritage exhibition activities such as swings and wrestling... Tourists linger in the park, pounding rice cakes, tasting rice wine, making pottery, and watching singing and dancing, experiencing the daily life of Korean residents.
The increase in the number of travel photography shops is a vivid footnote to the local cultural tourism's vigorous development.
"Earlier, the number of travel photography shops around the folk garden did not exceed 5." Zhu Baokun (朱保坤) said that now there are nearly a thousand large and small travel photography shops around the folk garden, and although there are many shops, there are still long queues during the peak tourist season.
In Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture (黔东南苗族侗族自治州), Guizhou Province—
Learn traditional crafts, make batik and forge silver ornaments
"There are dragon dances, reed pipe performances, and Dong songs. The arena has become a grand stage for ethnic culture, and the elderly and children can't take their eyes off it." Wu Zhiquan (吴志权), a tourist from Guangdong, drove his family to Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture (黔东南苗族侗族自治州), Guizhou Province, to check in at the "Village Super League" arena.
Are there other fun things to do? Wu Zhiquan's (吴志权) family decided to stay in Qiandongnan Prefecture (黔东南州) for a few more days.
In a batik embroidery intangible cultural heritage workshop in Zhaoxing Dong Village (肇兴侗寨), Wu Zhiquan (吴志权) and his children sat at the workbench, spreading a piece of dyed cloth on the table, and a small electric wax pot next to them emitted wisps of heat. Under the guidance of the embroiderer, they used a wax knife to dip into the melted wax and began to draw patterns on the cloth. Before long, a simple drum tower appeared on the cloth, which was then immersed in an indigo dye vat, lifted, immersed, and repeated several times before waiting to dry, and a batik work was completed.
"Spinning, weaving, indigo dyeing, and embroidery are the traditional crafts of our Dong girls. In the past, they were mainly used to make daily necessities. Now, they can both produce characteristic cultural creations and serve as tourism experience products. Not only can they make money, but they can also drive the inheritance of this intangible cultural heritage skill." Lu Yongmei (陆勇妹), head of the intangible cultural heritage workshop, said.
"On the one hand, we combine traditional crafts with modern life needs to develop more than 600 kinds of cultural and creative products; on the other hand, through simplification and innovation, we create easy-to-use experience activities that attract many tourists every year." Lu Yongmei (陆勇妹) said, "For the precious intangible cultural heritage, we must not only inherit it, but also promote its creative transformation and innovative development."
Not just batik, one ancient craft after another is revitalizing in the intangible cultural heritage workshop: in a silver ornament workshop in Leishan County (雷山县), tourists hold small hammers and experience silver ornament forging in the loud knocking sound; in a Miao embroidery workshop in Shibing County (施秉县), tourists are selecting clothing and ornaments that combine batik and embroidery...
"We hope to rely on intangible cultural heritage to bring tourists a more exciting and unforgettable cultural tourism experience that can be seen, heard, experienced, and taken home." Pan Lizhang (潘丽章), Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the Qiandongnan Prefecture (黔东南州) Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau, introduced that the prefecture has cultivated and strengthened 217 local intangible cultural heritage workshops, promoted the integration of "intangible cultural heritage + brand," "intangible cultural heritage + scenic spot," and "intangible cultural heritage + research and study," which not only drives tourism development, but also promotes the protection, inheritance, development, and utilization of intangible cultural heritage.
In Kashgar Prefecture (喀什地区), Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region—
Live in local residences, share tea, songs, and dances
"Come on! Friends, come on! Please come to the charming Kashgar Ancient City (喀什古城)!" Accompanied by the passionate music, the city gate slowly opened, and cheerful music, the clanging of iron, and the shouts of vendors started the day in Kashgar Ancient City (喀什古城).
Walking along the wide alley, a bright blue wooden door comes into view. In the courtyard, elderly people holding Xinjiang characteristic musical instruments, and girls and young men wearing traditional costumes bring a performance full of Xinjiang flavor. Tourists from all over the world sit at tables full of dried fruits, drinking tea, chatting, and watching songs and dances.
Rao Sheng (饶胜), a tourist from Hubei, got excited and stepped forward to dance with the actors. "When I come to Kashgar (喀什), I want to experience the local life. During the day, I watch performances and drink tea here, and sometimes I go shopping with the boss; at night, I live here and deeply experience the life of the locals." Rao Sheng (饶胜) said.
This is one of the most popular attractions on Areya Road (阿热亚路) in Kashgar Ancient City (喀什古城)—"Guli's Home (古丽的家)" tourism home visit site. The owner of the courtyard, Salamaitiguli Kazi (沙拉麦提古丽·卡日), used to be a tour guide in Kashgar Ancient City (喀什古城). Tourists often asked her if they could go to the residents' homes to take a look and taste their food and tea.
The repeated questions made Salamaitiguli (沙拉麦提古丽) have the idea of opening a folk experience site. In 2016, she resigned and transformed her home into a tourism home visit site with ethnic characteristics, which quickly attracted a large number of tourists. Many people also proposed accommodation needs, and Salamaitiguli (沙拉麦提古丽) renovated 6 rooms and opened a homestay. Now, with the increase in passenger flow, she has rented two more residences, and now there are a total of 23 rooms for tourists to choose from.
Kashgar Ancient City Scenic Area (喀什古城景区) has created a number of characteristic literary and artistic boutique homestay streets such as Jiulongquan (九龙泉) and Bagheqi Alley (巴格其巷), gathering more than 100 homestays. "Tourists are pursuing integration into the local area, so we have made many decorations with ethnic customs, such as wood carvings, Atlas bedding, and tapestries." Gao Lianxiang (高莲香), the person in charge of Yinlianju Homestay (隐莲居民宿), said.
There must be characteristics, but also specifications. It is understood that Xinjiang (新疆) is studying and introducing local standards for tourist homestays. While benchmarking national standards, it fully considers the characteristics of Xinjiang's (新疆) multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-landscape, and incorporates characteristic accommodation formats such as wooden houses and stone dwellings into the unified grading management of homestays to promote the standardized transformation of homestays.
Today, Kashgar Ancient City (喀什古城) has created 3 characteristic folk custom blocks, and at the same time, it has improved the scenic area's greening, lighting, and digital construction, so that tourists can live more comfortably and shop more pleasantly. From January to June 2025, Kashgar Ancient City Scenic Area (喀什古城景区) received approximately 13.06 million tourists, achieving a comprehensive tourism income of 3.291 billion yuan.

Return to TopXinhua News Agency, Paris, July 11 (Reporters Zhang Baihui (张百慧) and Xu Zhuang (徐壮)) On July 11, 2025, local time, the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee held in Paris, France, passed a resolution to include the "Western Xia Mausoleums (西夏陵)" on the World Heritage List. To date, the total number of Chinese World Heritage sites has reached 60.
The Western Xia Mausoleums are the mausoleum ruins of the Western Xia Dynasty (西夏王朝) (1038-1227), established by the Tangut (党项族) people in northwestern China from the 11th to 13th centuries. They are located in Yinchuan (银川市), Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (宁夏回族自治区), at the eastern foot of the southern section of the Helan Mountains (贺兰山) range, which plays an important role in natural geographical division, covering an area of nearly 40 square kilometers. The Western Xia Mausoleums include 9 imperial mausoleums, 271 accompanying tombs, 5.03 hectares of northern architectural ruins, and 32 flood control project ruins, forming a magnificent mausoleum landscape together with the towering Helan Mountains.
The Western Xia Mausoleums are the largest, highest-level, and most complete archaeological remains of the Western Xia Dynasty that have survived to this day, directly providing irreplaceable evidence for the nearly 200-year-long Western Xia Dynasty and its monarchical lineage in Chinese history, and demonstrating the Western Xia Dynasty's role as a transit hub on the Silk Road. The Western Xia Mausoleums have been authentically and completely preserved to this day, providing important evidence for the pluralistic and integrated pattern of Chinese civilization and the formation process of a unified multi-ethnic country, and holding an irreplaceable and important position in the history of world civilization.
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee recognizes the integrity and authenticity of the Western Xia Mausoleums, believing that as a testament to the integration and influence of diverse cultures, the spatial layout, design concepts, and architectural forms of the Western Xia Mausoleums inherited the mausoleum system of the Tang (唐) and Song (宋) dynasties, while incorporating Buddhist beliefs and Tangut customs, forming a special belief and funeral tradition, and witnessing the unique position of the Western Xia Dynasty in the cultural and commercial exchanges of the Silk Road from the 11th to 13th centuries AD. The organization highly appreciates the great efforts and outstanding achievements made by the Chinese government in the protection and management of the Western Xia Mausoleums cultural heritage.
Rao Quan (饶权), Vice Minister of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China (中国文化和旅游部) and Director of the National Cultural Heritage Administration (国家文物局), said on behalf of the Chinese government that the Chinese government will continue to unswervingly fulfill its obligations under the World Heritage Convention, continue to work hard to ensure that the outstanding value of the Western Xia Mausoleums is widely disseminated and permanently inherited, further strengthen the integrity and systematic protection of cultural and natural heritage, effectively improve the capacity and level of heritage protection, and is willing to share Chinese experience and cases with countries around the world, provide professional support and technical support, and jointly safeguard the cultural treasures of all mankind.

The color is orange-yellow, the skin is frosted, and the frozen persimmon emits an enticing aroma. Taking a bite of the frozen pulp, the tip of the tongue feels delicate, soft, cool, and refreshing, like eating ice cream.
Baoding frozen persimmon (保定冰柿) in Hebei (河北) Province has become a popular online delicacy due to its unique taste, green quality, and all-season sales advantages. "Rich in flavor, green and healthy," "Delicious, buy a few more"... netizens on social media are full of praise.
The Central Rural Work Conference held at the end of 2024 proposed to promote the quality and efficiency of rural industries, focus on "local specialties," cultivate new industries and new business formats, improve the mechanism for connecting farmers and benefiting farmers, and promote farmers' income increase. Baoding City (保定市) in Hebei Province innovatively created frozen persimmon products, making persimmons a new driving force for promoting the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside and promoting income increase for the masses. This year, Baoding frozen persimmons are expected to be listed at about 3.2 million, with an industrial output value of about 32 million yuan.
Transforming to Sell Frozen Persimmons: From Unsalable to Hot-Selling
Baoding (保定) is one of the seven major persimmon producing areas in the country. The millstone persimmon produced locally has a flat and round shape, delicate flesh, and a sweet and juicy taste. The planting area of millstone persimmon in Baoding City (保定市) is 278,000 mu, with an annual output of about 500,000 tons, accounting for 12% of the country, especially in Yi County (易县), where the planting area is wide and the output is high.
However, the once-popular Baoding (保定) persimmons were once difficult to sell. "Persimmons are not easy to preserve and can only be sold briefly in autumn and winter. The categories of fruits are also increasing, and persimmons cannot be sold at a good price." Wang Yongwang (王永旺), head of Yi County Shishi Ruyi Agricultural Products Processing Co., Ltd. (易县柿柿如意农产品加工有限公司), said that around 2014, the persimmon market was sluggish, and there was even a phenomenon that no one picked persimmons.
Faced with sluggish sales, Wang Yongwang (王永旺) led farmers to establish cooperatives to develop persimmon processed products. However, products such as persimmon cakes, persimmon vinegar, and persimmon wine failed to win the market.
In the summer of 2022, Wang Yongwang (王永旺) accidentally noticed frozen fruits in other provinces and was inspired: "Sell frozen persimmons!" He knew that millstone persimmons have obvious advantages: high sugar content, high moisture content, and are not afraid of freezing. Therefore, Wang Yongwang (王永旺) invested in the construction of factories and cold storage, and purchased frozen technology patents and equipment such as dryers and peeling machines.
The key technology for making frozen persimmons lies in deastringency and temperature control. Low-temperature quick freezing should be used to control the cell damage rate and retain the shape and taste of persimmons as much as possible; "heating" is used to release carbon dioxide and physically remove astringency; and then "temperature change" is used to fully saccharify the pulp tissue. "No extra things are added during the processing to ensure green health and nutritional value," said Wang Yongwang (王永旺).
In order to solve the problem of easy juice flow and dirty hands when eating persimmons, Wang Yongwang (王永旺) also came up with a clever trick: put the entire frozen persimmon in a box and eat it with a spoon like eating cup ice cream. The persimmon was made into "ice cream."
Last year, Wang Yongwang (王永旺) took frozen persimmons to participate in the Global High-end Food Exhibition and the China Ice Cream and Frozen Food Exhibition. The frozen persimmons were very popular as soon as they appeared. Later, hundreds of customers reached cooperation intentions with Wang Yongwang (王永旺). "This time the test was right!" Wang Yongwang's (王永旺) face was full of relief.
Standardized Procedures and Industrial Alliance
In Baoding (保定), other business entities coincided with Wang Yongwang (王永旺) and thought of taking the road of producing frozen persimmons.
In the sterile production workshop of Baoding Wolong Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. (保定沃隆农业发展有限公司), one millstone persimmon is processed into frozen persimmons through more than a dozen processes such as cleaning, cup filling, sterilization, film coating, and quick freezing, and loaded onto cold chain transportation vehicles and sent to various places.
"The factory is rushing to work every day." Guo Zilong (郭子龙), head of Wolong Agriculture (沃隆农业), said that Baoding (保定) frozen persimmons have been put on the shelves of platforms such as Hema Xiansheng (盒马鲜生), Beijing Wumart (北京物美), and Eurasia Group (欧亚集团), and are gradually being distributed to the whole country.
Facing the broad market, the establishment and improvement of standardized procedures is imperative. Baoding (保定) cooperates with universities such as China Agricultural University (中国农业大学), Hebei University (河北大学), Hebei Agricultural University (河北农业大学), and Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University (西北农林科技大学) to establish a standardized system in planting management, product processing, and cold storage. "For example, precise temperature control and freezing during the production process, with an error of no more than 0.5 degrees Celsius, can lock in the sweet taste of persimmons while extending the shelf life," said Guo Zilong (郭子龙).
In response to the problems of lack of funds and land for small and medium-sized frozen persimmon enterprises, Yi County (易县) innovatively launched a shared business model and built a 190-mu shared factory for processing agricultural and sideline products with high standards. "The first phase of the project will build 40 mu of standardized shared production workshops, cold storage, office buildings and other infrastructure, and equip it with fully automatic production and processing equipment, e-commerce live broadcast bases, and logistics supporting facilities. It is expected to be put into production in October this year," said Sun Kejun (孙克军), director of the Yi County Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau (易县农业农村局).
In order to better guide the innovation and upgrading of the frozen persimmon industry, Baoding City (保定市) strengthened top-level design, issued the "Three-Year Action Plan for High-Quality Development of Baoding Persimmon Industry (2024-2026)" (《保定市柿子产业高质量发展三年行动计划（2024—2026年）》) and the "Baoding Frozen Persimmon Brand Cultivation, Promotion and Marketing Plan" (《保定冰柿品牌培育推广营销方案》), and launched a series of normative standard formulation work to strengthen the Baoding (保定) frozen persimmon brand. In addition, it organized about 30 business entities, including leading enterprises, cooperatives, and large planting households, to establish the Baoding City Persimmon Industry High-Quality Development Alliance (保定市柿子产业高质量发展联盟) to give full play to the advantages of each business entity and guide the joint development of the persimmon industry.
Income Adds Security and Technology Provides Guidance
As frozen persimmons become popular in the market, the price of millstone persimmons has risen.
"In the past, farmers felt that they could make a profit if the purchase price exceeded 5 mao per jin. Now, the purchase price is between 1 yuan and 2 yuan per jin, and the income increase is obvious," said Guo Zilong (郭子龙).
Baoding (保定) takes frozen persimmon processing enterprises as the core and builds an industrial integration development model of "leading enterprises + cooperatives (professional large households) + persimmon growers" to allow the fruits of agricultural industrial upgrading to benefit the majority of farmers. "We sign purchase agreements with farmers, stipulate a guaranteed price, and adjust it according to market conditions to ensure that it is higher than the purchase price of merchants on the market," said Wang Yongwang (王永旺).
Han Zhihua (韩志花), a villager in Zhongdule Village (中独乐村), Dule Township (独乐乡), Yi County (易县), works in Wolong Agriculture (沃隆农业), responsible for peeling, handling, etc., with a daily income of 100 yuan. "My family has hundreds of persimmon trees. In previous years, persimmons were cheap, so I rented the trees to others. Now that the contract is about to expire, I plan to take the trees back and plant them myself, which can earn a lot more every year!" said Han Zhihua (韩志花).
Farmers' enthusiasm for planting persimmons has returned. In order to help farmers maintain persimmon trees, Baoding City (保定市) promoted the construction of a technical service system, and jointly with colleges and institutions, carried out technical assistance and guidance in persimmon standardized demonstration parks and persimmon professional cooperatives (professional villages), and organized agricultural professional managers and agricultural science and technology commissioners to regularly enter villages and parks.
"Pruning is very important. It is necessary to remove the head and thin the branches to control the persimmon tree at a height of 2 meters to 3 meters, which can not only increase the yield but also facilitate picking." In the persimmon orchard in Dule Township (独乐乡), Ren Shifu (任士福), a pomology expert from Hebei Agricultural University (河北农业大学), guided persimmon farmers.
In recent years, Yi County (易县) has actively connected with Hebei Agricultural University (河北农业大学) to hold relevant technical training, covering planting, harvesting, processing, warehousing, sales and other links. "Theoretical lectures + on-site practical operation + going out to study" not only helped persimmon farmers master skills, but also consolidated the brand foundation of Baoding (保定) frozen persimmons.
"Experts explained to us face-to-face, and we understood the planting skills and precautions very well. We are confident in planting persimmons and selling frozen persimmons!" said Zhou Shuangping (周双平), a persimmon farmer from Liujiagou Village (刘家沟村), Yi County (易县), who participated in the training.

In August 1940, a patriotic Qiong overseas Chinese youth, working tirelessly on the front lines of the war of resistance against Japan and national salvation, fell under the guns of the Japanese invaders, sacrificing his precious life. Today, it has been 85 years since he left us, yet the Party has not forgotten him, and the people of Qiongya have not forgotten him.
The overseas Chinese martyr Chen Qin (陈琴) from Qiong was originally named Chen Jiyou (陈继猷), also known as Chen Fen (陈奋), a native of Wenchang County, Guangdong (now Wenchang City, Hainan (海南文昌市)). In 1928, he drifted to Singapore to make a living, during which he was influenced by revolutionary ideas. In 1929, he joined the Nanyang Red Trade Union organization led by the Nanyang Communist Party and participated in leading the workers' movement. In February 1930, he joined the Nanyang Communist Party (later renamed the Malayan Communist Party). He actively mobilized workers to join the trade union and promoted Marxism-Leninism and communist ideas to the workers.
In 1937, the July 7th Incident (七七事变) broke out, and the Japanese army launched a full-scale invasion of China. Chen Qin (陈琴) actively mobilized overseas Chinese to support the motherland's resistance against Japan, and successively organized the establishment of anti-Japanese groups such as the "Singapore Foreign Affairs Workers' Anti-Enemy Support Association," "Singapore Foreign Affairs Workers' Fundraising Branch," and "Singapore Foreign Affairs Workers' Mutual Aid Society," vigorously promoting the idea of resisting Japan and saving the country, and mobilizing overseas Chinese to actively donate money and raise materials.
In February 1939, the Japanese army occupied Hainan Island (海南岛). Chen Qin (陈琴) looked at his homeland from afar, feeling grief and indignation, and loudly called on the vast number of Qiong overseas Chinese to unite and "save our compatriots who are being ravaged by the Japanese, defend our country's territory, and protect the fields and gardens left to us by our ancestors." He mobilized overseas Chinese compatriots to establish groups such as the "Qiong Overseas Chinese Save Hometown Association" and the "Qiong Overseas Chinese Relief Refugee Federation." In May of the same year, the "Singapore Qiong Overseas Chinese Return Home Service Group" was officially established, with Chen Qin (陈琴) as the head of the group.
He sailed towards his war-torn hometown - Qiongya (琼崖). One day in July 1939, Chen Qin (陈琴) led the service group across the sea. In order to cross the Japanese naval blockade, the service group decided to adopt a "hide-and-seek" strategy. The Japanese army only intercepted the six refugee ships that had set off earlier, thinking that they had completely annihilated the service group, and withdrew their troops and returned. Before dawn, the first batch of members led by Group Leader Chen Qin (陈琴) had landed on the Qixingling coast (七星岭海岸) of Wenchang, Hainan (海南文昌).
On the front line of the war against Japan, Chen Qin (陈琴) braved the hail of bullets, rescued and cared for the wounded in battle, sent medicine to the wounded soldiers and refugees in the war zone and the rear, and made positive contributions to the anti-Japanese war in his hometown.
In August 1940, in order to report the work of the Qiong Overseas Chinese Return Home Service Group and the murder of the head of the group, Fu Ke (符克), to the Qiong Overseas Chinese Federation in Hong Kong, Chen Qin (陈琴), the deputy head of the group who presided over the work of the general group, stepped forward and decided to risk crossing the sea to Hong Kong. However, he unfortunately encountered a Japanese warship at sea and was killed. He was only 29 years old when he sacrificed his life.
Under the influence of the spirit of the martyr Chen Qin (陈琴), more overseas Chinese made contributions to their hometowns. Wenchang Overseas Chinese Middle School (文昌市华侨中学) was founded in 1956 and was built with funds raised by overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots, and relatives of overseas Chinese. In the campus, a memorial wall engraved with "Deep Love for the Motherland, Merit in the Hometown" is particularly eye-catching. The names and deeds on the wall record the contributions of many overseas Chinese to the development of education in their hometown.
According to statistics from the Wenchang Municipal Government (文昌市政府), from 1987 to 2024, the amount of donations from overseas relatives, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots in Wenchang (文昌) to run schools has exceeded 500 million yuan, and more than 500 new and expanded teaching buildings, libraries, science museums, and teachers' and students' dormitory buildings have been built, and a large number of teaching instruments and equipment have been added, creating a good learning and living environment for Wenchang students.
Han Dan (韩丹), a student at Changsa Town Overseas Chinese Primary School (昌洒镇华侨小学) in Wenchang City (文昌市), said: "I also want to be like these overseas Chinese in the future, return to my hometown after I have achieved something, and contribute to the development of my hometown."

More than 1,000 guests and young people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait participated in related activities.
Pan Xianzhang (潘贤掌), Deputy Director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said in his speech that young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should, with a high sense of mission and responsibility, adhere to the One China principle and the "1992 Consensus," resolutely oppose "Taiwan independence" separatism and external interference, actively participate in cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation in various fields, and actively devote themselves to the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation to realize a brilliant life. We warmly welcome Taiwanese youth to come to the mainland to pursue dreams, build dreams, and realize dreams, and will take more powerful measures to actively promote cross-Strait exchanges, interactions, and integration, continuously enhance the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and allow Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to share the glory of national rejuvenation.
Hung Hsiu-chu (洪秀柱), former Chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang (中国国民党) and Chairman of the China Youth Peace Education Foundation (中华青雁和平教育基金会), said that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the restoration of Taiwan (台湾光复). History shows us that a weak country leads to a precarious people, and division leads to being at the mercy of others. Young people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should connect the two sides with innovation, resolve estrangement through exchanges, and inherit history through action, jointly shoulder the mission of history, make peaceful reunification across the Taiwan Strait more hopeful because of young people, and accelerate the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through the struggle of young people.
During the forum, young people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait will participate in the first "Strait Cup" Cross-Strait Famous University Baseball and Softball Elite Tournament and thematic study camps and other activities.

Return to TopThis report was published in the *People's Daily* on July 11th from Beijing (北京) (Reporter Zhang Tianpei (张天培)). Since the Ministry of Public Security (公安部) deployed a special operation to combat crimes in northern Myanmar involving Chinese citizens, China and Myanmar have cumulatively apprehended over 57,000 Chinese suspects involved in fraud through police law enforcement cooperation and a series of crackdown operations. The Bai family crime syndicate in Kokang (果敢), northern Myanmar, suffered a devastating blow. Under the unified command of the Ministry of Public Security (公安部), relevant local public security organs have been fully advancing the investigation and handling of cases related to the "Four Great Families" crime syndicate. Recently, the Bai family crime syndicate case has been prosecuted.
Since 2015, in order to seize illegal profits, the Bai family crime syndicate in Kokang (果敢), northern Myanmar, led by Bai Suocheng (白所成), has leveraged its family's influence in the political, military, and economic fields of Kokang (果敢) to develop and construct 41 large-scale gambling and fraud parks, including Cang Sheng Science and Technology Park (苍胜科技园), Baisheng Building (百胜大厦), Tenglong (腾龙), Xinbaili (鑫百利), King Red Mansion (王者红楼), and Baihe Mansion (白鹤公馆). On the one hand, they have attracted a large number of gambling and fraud criminal gangs to settle in, and have wantonly carried out telecommunications network fraud and online gambling and other illegal and criminal activities against our people, such as false investment and financial management, order brushing and rebate, impersonating public security, procuratorate, and law (公检法), false credit investigation, and impersonating customer service. On the other hand, they have continuously recruited and lured domestic personnel to illegally cross the border to participate in gambling and fraud activities. At the same time, the Bai family crime syndicate took the lead in establishing the Kokang (果敢) Entertainment Management Committee, and seized huge illegal profits by uniformly issuing promotion certificates to gambling and fraud parks, and collecting rent, head fees, and security fees. In particular, the Bai family crime syndicate has long used fraud to support soldiers and soldiers to protect fraud, implementing armed control and "protection" of gambling and fraud parks, and condoning "bosses" to violently control, abuse, beat, and even kill lower-level telecommunications fraud personnel in criminal gangs who disobey management, fail to complete fraud performance, or attempt to escape.
In November 2023, the Ministry of Public Security (公安部) deployed the Shenzhen (深圳市) Public Security Bureau (公安机关) in Guangdong Province (广东省) to investigate the Bai family crime syndicate case. On December 10 of the same year, based on mastering a large number of illegal and criminal facts and evidence, the public security organs legally issued a public reward for the arrest of Bai Suocheng (白所成), Bai Yingcang (白应苍), and Bai Yinglan (白应兰). On January 30, 2024, relying on the China-Myanmar law enforcement and security cooperation mechanism, the Myanmar side handed over Bai Suocheng (白所成) and Bai Yingcang (白应苍) to our side. As of now, 36 important criminal suspects involved in the Bai family crime syndicate case have been brought to justice.
In order to comprehensively investigate the illegal and criminal activities of the Bai family crime syndicate involving our country, within the framework of the China-Myanmar law enforcement and security cooperation mechanism, our public security organs sent a special task force to northern Myanmar five times at the risk of war, and carried out a large number of arduous and meticulous work in conjunction with Myanmar law enforcement departments, seizing a large number of key physical evidence such as the remains of victims and drug-making tools of criminal suspects. At the same time, the Shenzhen (深圳) Public Security Bureau (公安机关) dispatched more than 1,000 capable police officers to more than 200 cities across the country to investigate and collect evidence from thousands of victims of telecommunications fraud one by one, and comprehensively collect and fix evidence. The Zhoushan (舟山) Public Security Bureau (公安机关) in Zhejiang Province (浙江省) actively cooperated and assisted in the investigation of the case, captured and interrogated important criminal suspects, and improved the chain of evidence.
The public security organs found through investigation that the Bai family crime syndicate in Kokang (果敢), northern Myanmar, headed by Bai Suocheng (白所成) and Bai Yingcang (白应苍), is suspected of fraud, intentional homicide, intentional injury, kidnapping, extortion, opening casinos, organizing others to illegally cross the (border) border, organizing and forcing prostitution, and trafficking and manufacturing drugs, resulting in the death of 6 Chinese citizens, involving more than 31,000 fraud cases, involving more than 10.6 billion yuan in fraud funds, involving more than 18 billion yuan in gambling funds, and manufacturing and selling about 11 tons of drugs.

It is the "Three Summers" season, and the National Bureau of Statistics (国家统计局) released data on the 10th, indicating that this year's national summer grain harvest has achieved stable production and a bumper harvest.
Agricultural production has consistently pursued precise weather forecasting. Meteorological monitoring technology, like discerning eyes, captures the changes in wind and cloud, building a solid first line of defense for meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation. What "high-precision" meteorological technologies are used in farmland? How do these technologies monitor disastrous weather, play a role in "storing grain through technology," and construct a "meteorological defense line" for agricultural production? This issue of "瞰前沿" (kàn qián yán - "瞰前沿," Looking at the Frontier), will take you closer to the meteorological "black technologies" in farmland.

Meteorological Monitoring Equipment Equips Farmland with "Technological Nerves"
[Technology Scene]
In the intelligent meteorological water-saving irrigation demonstration area of Wusan Village (五三村), Taiping Township (太平乡), Tuquan County (突泉县), Xing'an League (兴安盟), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (内蒙古自治区), farmland is equipped with automatic farmland microclimate observation instruments and automatic crop growth observation instruments to conduct comprehensive observations of corn growth and development.
The local meteorological department will provide forecasts of suitable irrigation periods and irrigation amounts for the next 10 days based on the observation data combined with intelligent grid forecast data. Observation data and irrigation forecast information are automatically pushed to farmers through the water-saving irrigation meteorological forecast service APP. In 2024, low-power intelligent control equipment and water-saving irrigation technology have achieved deep integration and application. Relying on the intelligent meteorological water-saving irrigation model, an unmanned automatic irrigation mode has been successfully realized, with automatic timed and quantitative irrigation.
[Expert Viewpoint]
Meteorological departments across the country have deployed intelligent microclimate observation stations in fields, equipped with a variety of observation equipment. The automatic soil moisture monitoring system can monitor in real time. Once soil moisture is insufficient, an irrigation command is quickly issued. If there is too much moisture, a drainage warning is also issued in a timely manner. Automatic phenology observation instruments accurately record data such as development stage, coverage, plant height, and leaf area index. Hyperspectral radiation observation instruments can help crops undergo a "health check." Once a signal is captured that the crop is being "attacked" by high temperature, drought, or pests and diseases, early warning can be provided through fluorescence monitoring.
Meteorological departments also jointly use unmanned aerial vehicle observation platforms and satellites, relying on the Internet of Things to build an integrated "air-space-ground" monitoring network, realizing dynamic sensing of farmland temperature and humidity, soil moisture, and other parameters. Currently, a total of 300 automatic phenology observation stations and 300 regional automatic soil moisture observation stations have been built nationwide.
These meteorological monitoring devices, spread throughout the fields, operate around the clock and sense in all directions, as if equipping farmland with "technological nerves," both accurately "diagnosing" the crop growth microenvironment and providing a smart shield for scientifically preventing hot-dry winds, waterlogging, and other disasters.
Precise Forecasting and Early Warning to Protect Crop Growth Throughout the Entire Cycle
[Technology Scene]
In May of this year, Henan (河南) experienced continuous sunny, hot, and dry weather, and winter wheat growth faced challenges. The Henan Provincial Key Laboratory of Agricultural Meteorology Security and Application Technology of the China Meteorological Administration (中国气象局) and the "High-Standard Farmland Smart Meteorology Security Technology" Youth Innovation Team of the China Meteorological Administration (中国气象局) jointly carried out a special experiment on the prevention and control of hot-dry wind in winter wheat in 2025 in the core area of the "Zhongyuan Agricultural Valley" (中原农谷) high-standard farmland in Xinxiang City (新乡市), Henan Province (河南省). Experimental data showed that the thousand-grain weight of winter wheat in plots where disaster prevention and mitigation measures were taken according to meteorological information prompts generally increased by 1.5 to 1.9 grams.
[Expert Viewpoint]
China's meteorological departments carry out agricultural meteorological disaster risk warnings for the entire crop growth cycle, "by crop, by disaster type, and by region," covering more than 20 major agricultural meteorological disasters of major bulk crops, such as agricultural drought, farmland waterlogging, snow damage, cold damage, continuous rain, and frost damage.
Disaster warning and prompt information is sent to farmers by SMS through the National Early Warning Release Center (国家预警发布中心) platform and broadcast on television platforms such as the CCTV1 (CCTV1) weather forecast program and the CCTV17 (CCTV17) agricultural and rural channel.
This year, the National Meteorological Center (国家气象中心) has further established a disaster early warning working group on the basis of establishing a special working group for summer harvest and summer planting services. On the one hand, it will continue to optimize intelligent grid forecast products for agricultural meteorological disasters, establish a seamless intelligent grid forecast business for agricultural meteorological disasters based on "Fengqing" (风清) and "Fengshun" (风顺), and carry out short-, medium-, and long-term seamless agricultural meteorological disaster risk warnings. New soil temperature and soil humidity forecast products have been added, and rolling forecasts of hot-dry wind in winter wheat, maturity prediction, and drought risk assessment in summer planting areas are released.
In terms of refined risk early warning for agricultural meteorological disasters, the National Meteorological Center (国家气象中心) has established a national database of 17 types of disasters, constructed meteorological disaster assessment indices for 9 types of crops, and drawn spatial distribution maps of disaster risks at the 10-year, 50-year, and 100-year return periods to conduct refined assessments of the occurrence patterns and risk levels of major agricultural meteorological disasters in China.
Satellites and Radars Show Their Abilities to Jointly Build a Disaster Weather Monitoring Network
[Technology Scene]
This year, the National Satellite Meteorological Center (国家卫星气象中心) joined forces with the National Meteorological Center (国家气象中心) and the meteorological bureaus of Henan (河南), Shandong (山东), Hebei (河北), and other provinces to use satellite remote sensing monitoring technology to monitor the maturity and harvest progress of winter wheat. China's meteorological departments have developed early-season crop distribution mapping technology and, on this basis, completed the 2025 remote sensing mapping of winter wheat and rapeseed in major producing provinces. These data strongly support the meteorological forecasting of summer harvest grain and oil crop yields and the forecasting of summer harvest and summer planting.
During the peak season for crop pests and diseases in spring and autumn, the density of field pests such as locusts increases rapidly and migrates with the monsoon in China's major crop producing areas, resulting in grain losses. The area of agricultural migratory pests in China every year is very large. Weather radar can play an important role in monitoring migratory pests.
[Expert Viewpoint]
Crop phenology is an important basis for formulating agricultural production plans. Satellite remote sensing monitoring technology can form crop distribution remote sensing mapping products, providing key basic data for carrying out crop growth monitoring, yield forecasting, agricultural meteorological disaster assessment, and early warning. The National Satellite Meteorological Center (国家卫星气象中心) has carried out crop distribution remote sensing monitoring operations with the meteorological bureaus of 29 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government), including Beijing (北京), Tianjin (天津), and other regions. The monitored crop varieties include winter wheat, corn, rice, rapeseed, and soybeans.
Weather radar can detect insect group echoes at distances of hundreds of kilometers. It can monitor the density, flight speed, and flight direction of insect groups in real time during large-scale migration of insect groups. Combined with high-altitude wind field data, it can further estimate the landing area of insect groups. Combined with pest category information from the take-off location of the insect source, it can achieve precise pest control. It is one of the effective tools for monitoring migratory pests.
China has built the world's largest weather radar monitoring network, covering the main migration paths of pests, and can provide large-scale, high-time-efficiency remote sensing monitoring data such as the population size, category, and migration trajectory of migratory insects. Based on observation data, more scientific and precise pest control strategies can be formulated to achieve unified prevention and control, improve control effects, and provide important guarantees for agricultural disaster prevention and mitigation and sustainable development.

In the future, not only will it be possible to build houses on the moon, but there will also be no need to transport building materials from Earth. For long-term human habitation on the moon, drinking water will also not need to be "shipped" from Earth or "delivered" by spacecraft... At the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory in Hefei (合肥市), Anhui Province (安徽省), researchers confidently say that in the future, these activities are expected to source materials directly from the moon.
Let's first look at building houses. "This lunar soil 3D printing system can use concentrated solar energy to melt lunar soil at high temperatures to make lunar soil bricks, and print lunar soil components of any shape to meet construction needs," said Yang Honglun (杨洪伦), senior engineer of the Future Technology Research Institute of the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory and head of the lunar soil 3D printing system technology. "In the future, building houses, repairing roads, and building equipment platforms on the moon will all require it."
The lunar climate environment is harsh, bringing many difficulties to scientific research. "In the early stages of development, the challenge we faced was how to achieve reliable solar energy concentration and lunar soil forming under the constraints of the extreme lunar environment," said Yang Honglun (杨洪伦). In order to make the equipment adapt to the complex lunar environment, the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory team compared various technical routes and finally selected the "reflection concentration - fiber bundle energy transmission - powder bed fusion forming" technical route, overcoming a series of problems from energy capture and transmission to printing and forming.
Now let's look at drinking water. How will drinking water be solved for long-term human habitation on the moon? The moon will also have "tap water," without the need for "shipments" from Earth. "The Deep Space Exploration Laboratory, in conjunction with Harbin Institute of Technology (哈尔滨工业大学) and other universities, has developed the first domestic multi-needle lunar soil water ice thermal extraction system prototype, which can extract water in situ from lunar soil," said Zu Lin (祖琳), senior engineer of the Future Technology Research Institute of the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory and head of the "Lunar Soil Water Ice Extraction" technology.
Research shows that the lunar polar regions contain a large amount of water ice resources. This water ice is not only a source of drinking water and oxygen for future international lunar research stations, but can also be electrolyzed to produce hydrogen and oxygen fuel, supporting the energy needs of deep space exploration missions, thereby reducing the cost and risk of transporting materials from Earth.
"Multiple thin spiral drill needles drill into ice-containing simulated lunar soil in situ and heat it to generate gaseous water. The water vapor enters a low-temperature condenser through a diversion channel to condense into solid ice for collection, overcoming the difficulties of lunar soil excavation, vacuum escape water vapor collection, and low water ice extraction efficiency," said Zu Lin (祖琳).
Building houses with locally sourced materials, mining living water from the source... These futuristic technological achievements are the "transcript" of scientific and technological innovation of the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory since it settled in Anhui (安徽) three years ago. "Currently, the laboratory mainly carries out major project establishment demonstrations and related pre-research project research in the fields of lunar exploration, planetary exploration, and asteroid exploration and defense, focusing on the four major areas of deep space technology, deep space science, deep space resources, and deep space security, proposing 12 technical directions including deep space overall technology, deep space energy and power, and deep space intelligent control, to achieve the integrated development of science, engineering, and technology in the field of deep space exploration," said Ren Xiaoqiang (任筱强), director of the Strategic Office of the System Research Institute of the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory.
The exploration and questioning of the universe is the eternal theme of deep space exploration activities. Deep space exploration activities are of great significance in refreshing human understanding of the universe, transforming production and lifestyles, and expanding human living space. When building bases, repairing roads, and drinking water on the moon can all be sourced locally, humanity will surely move towards a broader sea of stars.
Return to TopThis newspaper reports from Hefei (合肥) (Reporter Xu Jing (徐靖)) The inaugural meeting of the International Deep Space Exploration Society was recently held in Hefei (合肥), Anhui (安徽).

Smaller and smaller sizes have always been the primary goal of transistor research and development. How can we further improve transistor performance while reducing size?
A result from the carbon-based electronic device team at the Institute of Metal Research (金属研究所) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) demonstrates the broad application prospects of hot carrier transistors as low-power, multi-functional devices in the field of future high-performance integrated circuits. This achievement was published in the journal *Nature* in August of last year. Industry insiders believe that this achievement has opened up an original field of transistor research.
A set of graphics, with just a few strokes, and letter annotations on the side, this is a sketch manuscript by Liu Chi (刘驰), a researcher at the Institute of Metal Research (金属研究所) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) a few years ago, and also the prototype of the "hot emitter transistor" in the paper. "This breakthrough is both a culmination of long-term accumulation and a natural result," said Liu Chi (刘驰).
"Improving transistor performance mainly faces 'three walls'," said Sun Dongming (孙东明), a researcher and head of the carbon-based electronic device team at the Institute of Metal Research (金属研究所), and one of the corresponding authors of the paper. The "three walls" are the "size wall," "storage wall," and "power consumption wall." The main direction of their team's research is the "power consumption wall."
Just as a faucet can control the flow of water, a transistor can control the current formed by carriers in a circuit. By accelerating the carriers and other methods, their energy can be increased, turning them into hot carriers, thereby improving the performance of the transistor. However, with existing methods, problems such as insufficient hot carrier concentration and current density often occur, which cannot fully utilize the performance of the transistor.
How to solve the problem? The selection and coupling of materials are the key. "Graphene and other materials have excellent electrical and optoelectronic properties, and are easy to form heterojunctions with different materials, resulting in a rich combination of energy bands," Liu Chi (刘驰) proposed the research idea.
One morning in late 2019, an idea suddenly "struck" Liu Chi (刘驰), and he casually drew it on the whiteboard: the transistor uses graphene and germanium to form a "Schottky junction." During operation, germanium injects high-energy carriers into the graphene base, which then diffuses to the emitter and excites hot carriers, thereby forming a sudden increase in current change and negative differential resistance. He said, "It's like loading fuel into a rocket first, and then igniting it, the fuel is converted into instantaneous energy to propel the rocket launch."
"From proposing the concept to preparing the device, we overcame several difficulties," said Liu Chi (刘驰). In 2020, after completing the preparation work, Liu Chi (刘驰) began to prepare the device with his students. More than two months passed, and they prepared more than a dozen devices, but none of them showed the expected performance. One day in September, Liu Chi (刘驰), unwilling to give up, conducted a test and finally detected the first device with performance. "There was a sharp increase in current and a negative differential resistance phenomenon!" Liu Chi (刘驰) recalled, "It's like seeing the first ray of light in the dark, this is the charm of scientific research."
After that, Liu Chi (刘驰) led his students to jointly prepare devices, test performance, and analyze and discuss with the team, and invited Professor Zhang Lining (张立宁) of Peking University (北京大学) and others to carry out device simulation and modeling research...
The successful preparation of the device cannot be separated from the joint efforts of all parties, and the team led by Researcher Ren Wencai (任文才) of the Institute of Metal Research (金属研究所) is one of them. This team has a lot of research on graphene materials. Researcher Ma Laipeng (马来鹏), a member of the team, took the initiative to undertake the design and preparation of graphene materials after learning about Liu Chi's (刘驰) scientific research needs. "Professor Ma (马) provided dozens of graphene materials, which greatly saved scientific research time," said Liu Chi (刘驰).
Continuously preparing, testing, optimizing, and re-preparing... Finally, the team was able to stably prepare this new type of transistor and greatly improve its performance: traditional transistors require at least 60 millivolts of voltage to increase the current by one order of magnitude, while the new type of transistor can achieve this with less than 1 millivolt of voltage, and at the same time has obvious negative differential resistance at room temperature, showing its broad application prospects in the field of low-power and multi-functional integrated circuits.
At present, the Institute of Metal Research (金属研究所) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) has more than 600 cooperative enterprises, providing key materials and technical support for equipment manufacturing, iron and steel nonferrous metals, aerospace, energy and power industries. After the results were published, Sun Dongming (孙东明), Liu Chi (刘驰) and team members came to a company in Chaoyang City (朝阳市), Liaoning Province (辽宁省), to discuss the direction of industry-university-research cooperation with enterprise personnel.
"Our team is doing basic research. Only when individual achievements accumulate to form a set of theories or a set of proprietary technologies, can there be the possibility of technological achievement transformation," said Sun Dongming (孙东明). "The road ahead is long, as long as we continue to explore, there will be new breakthroughs."

Return to TopNatural uranium is an important strategic resource and energy mineral. Uranium resource exploration, mining, and metallurgy are at the forefront of the nuclear fuel cycle and are an important material foundation for the development of the nuclear industry.
Entering the new century, China National Nuclear Corporation (中核集团) has achieved a series of major breakthroughs in mineral exploration, discovering and implementing a number of ultra-large, extra-large, and large sandstone-type uranium deposits in northern basins of China. Among them, the Ordos Basin (鄂尔多斯盆地) has become an important uranium resource base in China. However, the endowment conditions and ore properties of some uranium resources are extremely complex, and the mining and metallurgy are extremely difficult, facing a severe situation of becoming "immobile ore."
China National Nuclear Corporation (中核集团) has vigorously collaborated and pooled its efforts to successfully develop China's third-generation uranium mining and metallurgy technology system, namely the "Guo You No. 1" (国铀一号) uranium mining technology, revitalizing hundreds of thousands of tons of domestic uranium resources, turning "immobile ore" into "treasure," achieving a breakthrough in domestic uranium resource development, and creating a new situation for the development of the industry.
Innovation Drives Unlocking Technical Codes
Traditional uranium mining methods require going deep underground to open the ore layer, digging the ore from the ground and transporting it to the surface, and then using physical and chemical means to extract uranium from it. The intrinsic safety and production efficiency of this mining model are not high, and it is not suitable for sandstone-type uranium deposits in northern China.
"Guo You No. 1" (国铀一号) uranium mining technology adopts in-situ leaching uranium mining technology, which subverts the traditional underground mining model of uranium mines. Only boreholes are constructed on the surface, and a leaching agent containing carbon dioxide and oxygen is injected into the underground ore layer to dissolve the uranium element in the solution and lift it to the surface for processing. This technology solves the world-class problem of mining complex sandstone-type uranium resources with high carbonate, high mineralization, low permeability, and low grade (commonly known as "two highs and two lows"), and its key technical indicators are at the forefront of the world, achieving the goal of "zero waste discharge, no ecological damage, carbon reduction and sustainability."
Not only that, "Guo You No. 1" (国铀一号) uranium mining technology integrates automation, remote centralized control, and big data analysis technologies, and adopts a new model of uranium mining and metallurgy with "visualization of resource endowment, intelligent operation analysis, and precise resource mining." It uses digital technology to promote the transformation of the natural uranium industry and is a representative of new quality productive forces in China's natural uranium industry. It will promote China's in-situ leaching uranium mines to open a new situation of "controlling thousands of miles away, controlling with one screen, and mining uranium with one key."
Consolidate the "Ballast Stone" for National Uranium Resource Security
China National Nuclear Corporation (中核集团) continues to implement the uranium mine mega-base strategy in depth, optimizing and forming a new structure of natural uranium production capacity layout with the northern sandstone uranium mine mega-base as the main body and the southern hard rock uranium mine as a supplement. On July 12, 2024, China's largest natural uranium production capacity project, the "Guo You No. 1" (国铀一号) demonstration project, started construction in Ordos (鄂尔多斯), Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (内蒙古自治区). This year, the project completed its node targets ahead of schedule and successfully achieved "6.30 trial production" and "7.12 production of the first barrel of uranium," setting a new speed for the construction of natural uranium production capacity projects in China.
The "Guo You No. 1" (国铀一号) demonstration project is a "14th Five-Year Plan" nuclear industry development project of the China Atomic Energy Authority (国家原子能机构). It is currently the largest, highest-standard, green, economical, and efficient natural uranium production base in China, representing the national level and image of the natural uranium industry. The China National Nuclear Corporation (中核集团) construction team adheres to lean management to build a solid safety defense line, activate construction momentum, overcome the challenges brought about by many complex conditions and technical problems, and strive to build a modern uranium mine production demonstration project integrating efficiency, environmental protection, and safety.
The successful construction of the "Guo You No. 1" (国铀一号) demonstration project is of great significance for improving the domestic natural uranium self-guarantee capacity and promoting a new chapter in the new industrialization development of China's in-situ leaching uranium mines.
Embark on a New Journey of Green Nuclear Energy Development
In the process of achieving the "dual carbon" goal, nuclear power, as a clean energy source, will play an important role in low-carbon energy. At present, China's overall nuclear power scale ranks first in the world. In the next 15 years, domestic natural uranium demand will exceed half of the current global natural uranium total output. "Guo You No. 1" (国铀一号) uranium mining technology has consolidated the technical foundation for the energy revolution.
"Guo You No. 1" (国铀一号) uranium mining technology will be fully applied and accelerated for promotion, and will be applied to the development of uranium resources in northern basins of China such as the Songliao Basin (松辽盆地), the Erlian Basin (二连盆地), the Ordos Basin (鄂尔多斯盆地), and the Yili Basin (伊犁盆地), supporting the construction of a number of new uranium mine mega-bases, and fully ensuring the demand for uranium resources for nuclear energy development. In the future, "Guo You No. 1" (国铀一号) will go abroad to provide China National Nuclear Corporation (中核集团) solutions for the development of the natural uranium industry in countries jointly building the "Belt and Road" (一带一路), help the safe and orderly development of global nuclear power, and further enhance China's international voice in the field of nuclear energy development.
"Guo You No. 1" (国铀一号) uranium mining technology is a key step for China National Nuclear Corporation (中核集团) towards "deep-earth resource autonomy, intensive development model, and systematic energy security." At the same time, the "Guo You No. 1" (国铀一号) demonstration project is far from a successful practice of new technologies in a single field. It will drive the collaborative innovation of new processes, new materials, and new equipment in the entire industrial chain, accelerate the deep integration of nuclear energy technology with digital technology and artificial intelligence, and promote the creation of a globally competitive high-end nuclear energy industry cluster to serve the development of national strategic emerging industries.

Return to TopHebei Zhengding (河北正定)
Ancient Charm Touches Modern Prosperity
Shao Yuzi (邵玉姿)
The heatwave cannot stop people's enthusiasm. As the lights come on, the ancient city of Zhengding (正定), Hebei (河北), becomes even more lively: under the colorful lights, people stroll along the ancient city walls, gather in the ancient streets, or play under the Yanghe Tower (阳和楼). The ancient charm touches modern prosperity, bursting with a unique vitality.
The rebirth of the ancient city is not achieved in a day. Zhengding (正定), a national historical and cultural city, is known as a "treasure house of ancient architecture." It currently has 10 national key cultural relics protection units and a collection of more than 7,000 cultural relics. Since the 1980s, Zhengding (正定) has implemented a series of powerful cultural relics protection measures and established a long-term cultural relics protection mechanism.
"Since 2012, we have comprehensively 'taken stock' of the county's cultural relics, carried out large-scale repairs and protection, and implemented 16 cultural relics protection projects alone." Wang Suhui (王素辉), head of the project section of the Zhengding County (正定县) Cultural Relics Management Office, has been engaged in cultural relics protection for 26 years and has witnessed every detail of cultural relics protection in the county. "After the establishment of the Zhengding Ancient City (正定古城) Protection Directory System, every cultural site, ancient building, and cultural relic in the county is included in the directory management, and each cultural relics protection unit has a resident inspection team that conducts a collective inspection once a month."
The "Overall Plan of Zhengding County (正定县) (Zhengding New District (正定新区)) and the Restoration and Enhancement Plan and Implementation of the Ancient City Style" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") covers 24 ancient city protection and style restoration projects, which not only involve the protection of the cultural relics themselves, but also cover the "three defenses" project of cultural relics and the improvement of the surrounding environment, which were all completed and opened at the end of 2019. What impressed Wang Sugang (王素刚), Deputy County Chief of Zhengding County (正定县), was that "the formation of the 'Plan' took nearly 3 years, and more than 100 expert demonstration meetings were held."
Stepping into the exhibition hall of the Zhengding Museum (正定博物馆), "Zhending Changle (真定长乐)" Han Dynasty (汉代) tile ends, "Anle Lei (安乐垒)" Five Dynasties (五代) broken stele... On the tour route with time as the axis, countless cultural relics, illustrated displays, and lifelike special effects turn the past and present of Zhengding (正定) into a scene before your eyes.
"Through the exhibition, I have a better understanding of the history of my hometown, and I also encourage more people to understand my hometown." Fang Siman (房思曼), a fifth-grade student at Kaiyuan Primary School (开元小学), comes to do volunteer explanations every weekend. Today, there are more than 100 volunteer docents like her in the Zhengding Museum (正定博物馆).
Not only in the museum, but the past and present of Zhengding (正定) are also integrated into people's daily lives. In Yueleyuan (悦乐园) on Hengzhou South Street (恒州南街), there is a blue brick wall with pictures and stories of the ancient city wall of Zhengding (正定). "The ancient city wall of Zhengding (正定古城墙) was built in the Eastern Jin (东晋) Sixteen Kingdoms period and has a history of more than 1,600 years..." Zhang Fan (张帆), a citizen, has memorized the content on the blue brick wall.
In Zhengding (正定), the ancient city culture is integrated into the everyday life of the masses. The construction of the ancient city's historical and cultural aspects is combined with the construction of ancient city parks, and idle plots in the streets and alleys have been built into pocket parks with cultural heritage and comfortable experiences. With one park and one theme, Zhang Fan (张帆) takes his daughter to check in one by one whenever he has time, "While exercising, let the children learn more about the history of this city."
"Ancient buildings, ancient walls, and ancient pagodas are not only historical and cultural scenic spots, but also natural filming locations." Peng Bowen (彭博文), 30 years old, runs a Hanfu (汉服) shop in Zhengding County (正定县). Benefiting from the protection of the ancient city and the development of tourism, ancient costume travel photography has become a new calling card for Zhengding (正定) tourism in recent years. "More and more tourists are coming to take travel photos. The store receives more than 100 people on the busiest day," said Peng Bowen (彭博文).
The ancient city "cares for" everyone who comes to the ancient city. Zhengding (正定) continues to improve the tourism public service system: multiple free drinking water supply points have been built around the scenic spots, convenient facilities such as charging power supplies have been installed, all 44,800 parking spaces in the county are "free of parking fees," thousands of convenient seats have been set up, and free ancient city tourist sightseeing buses have been opened...
"Zhengding (正定) has a history to be proud of, and Zhengding (正定) will have a bright future"! People are full of expectations for the future of Zhengding (正定). By both protecting cultural relics and ancient buildings and exploring the historical and cultural aspects of the ancient city, learning from the past to understand the present, this ancient city exudes new vitality.
Shanghai (上海)
Architecture Can Be Read, the City Has Warmth
Cao Lingjuan (曹玲娟)
In 1987, Ge Yaping (葛雅萍), 27, married into the Wukang Building (武康大楼). More than 30 years have passed, and the bride of that year is now a grandmother, and the past years are still vivid in her mind. "When I first married here, these walls were leaking, and the messy wires in the building were like spider webs. I didn't expect the building to be so beautiful and comfortable today."
Auntie Ge's (葛阿姨) Wukang Building (武康大楼) is located at the intersection of Wukang Road (武康路), Xingguo Road (兴国路) and other five streets, and is the first veranda-style apartment building in Shanghai (上海). Built in 1924, the Wukang Building (武康大楼) has a French Renaissance architectural style. The first and second floors are Southeast Asian-style arcade buildings. The third to seventh floors are clear water red brick walls with small balconies with iron railings. The top floor balcony goes around the entire outer wall of the building.
Today, this century-old building has become a model of urban renewal in Shanghai (上海). The Wukang Building (武康大楼) completed two protective repairs in 2009 and 2019, and even the overhead wires around the building were completely removed and buried underground. The overall architectural style after stripping off the "spider web" is fully presented under the clear sky. The renovation of the building follows the principle of "restoring the old as before," striving to restore each red brick to its original appearance, and every detail has been carefully considered. Even for the air-conditioning problem that is necessary for residents' lives, an expert team was invited to formulate a special plan for the external facade air-conditioning rack to minimize the impact of attachments on the original style as much as possible.
Yang Haiying (杨海英), Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Hunan Street (湖南街道), Xuhui District (徐汇区), Shanghai (上海), where the Wukang Building (武康大楼) is located, described the renovation as "not only focusing on appearance, but also on substance," and "adopting more 'micro-transformation' 'embroidery' efforts to stimulate co-governance and autonomy while protecting the historical and cultural style."
Walking into the Wukang Building (武康大楼), modern facilities and spiral staircases are harmoniously integrated. In the clean and tidy corridors, looking out through the old-fashioned lattice windows, you can see the fiery morning glow and scarlet sunset. In recent years, resident representatives, greening departments, and professional institutions have worked together to transform the abandoned space in the building into a mini sky garden. Auntie Ge (葛阿姨) loves to bring her grandson here to play, recognize green plants and chat. It has become an ideal place for residents to dry clothes, relax, gather, and discuss matters.
This is precisely the characteristic of urban renewal in Shanghai (上海). Under the concept of a people's city, attention is paid to the dynamic balance of "protection and revitalization" in the process of urban modernization, taking the functional transformation of historical buildings and the "micro-renewal" of blocks as entry points to achieve a three-way balance between improving people's livelihoods, protecting the style, and enhancing the city's functions.
In the renewal, the Wukang Building (武康大楼) has become increasingly popular and has even become an "internet celebrity check-in spot." The acute-angled area at the intersection of Tianping Road (天平路) and Huaihai Middle Road (淮海中路) is the best shooting spot for the Wukang Building (武康大楼). The sidewalk was originally 2 meters wide, and a large number of tourists once stood on the roadway to take photos, causing safety hazards. Shanghai (上海) carried out a micro-renewal of this place in 2020, expanding the corner space outward by several meters, forming a source point square of about 500 square meters.
Not only the Wukang Building (武康大楼), but at present, Shanghai (上海) has designated and announced 44 historical and cultural scenic areas (historical and cultural blocks) and has identified and announced 1,058 outstanding historical buildings (historical buildings) in Shanghai (上海). To discuss the goal of Shanghai's (上海) style protection, it can be summarized in one sentence: "Architecture can be read, blocks are suitable for strolling, and the city has warmth."
In the midst of everyday life, the style is more charming. The protection of scenic areas not only inherits historical culture, but also promotes urban and economic development. The Wukang-Anfu (武康-安福) scenic block covers an area of only 0.4 square kilometers, with an average daily traffic of 20,000 to 30,000 people. People hold a cup of coffee, stroll through the streets, check in at the Wukang Building (武康大楼), stroll to Anfu Road (安福路), and complete a wonderful integration of urban roaming and economic vitality between the sunshine sprinkled on the street by the plane trees and the leisure of the restaurant's outdoor seating. The "palm-sized" historical and cultural scenic block had an annual fiscal contribution of more than 100 million yuan at the end of 2023, becoming a new model for Shanghai (上海) to interpret the integrated development of humanistic economy.
Zhejiang Hangzhou (浙江杭州)
"Cultural Grand Corridor" Connects Beads into a Chain
Dou Hanyang (窦瀚洋)
Strolling through the Liangzhu Museum (良渚博物院) in Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江), through AR (augmented reality) glasses, the life of the Liangzhu (良渚) ancestors 5,000 years ago is vividly presented with the help of technology; starting from the Liangzhu Museum (良渚博物院), coming to the characteristic commercial market "Yuniaoji (玉鸟集)," the latte art pattern in the coffee shop can also be the "God-Man Beast Mask Pattern" on Liangzhu (良渚) jade ware, and the barista can also explain the cultural connotation of jade ritual objects; the Pingyao Old Street (瓶窑老街), which is adjacent to the Liangzhu Ancient City (良渚古城) Ruins Park, is now a "non-heritage settlement" sought after by young people...
Looking out from the north of Hangzhou (杭州), with the Liangzhu Ancient City (良渚古城) Ruins as the center, looking west to Jing Mountain (径山), east to the Grand Canal (运河), the Liangzhu Museum (良渚博物院), the Hangzhou Branch of the National Archives of Publications and Culture (中国国家版本馆杭州分馆), ancient towns, and old streets are scattered among them, like a jade belt, running across east and west, connecting the past and the present. This is the "Liangzhu Cultural Grand Corridor" under planning and construction. Ye Weijun (叶维军), Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Liangzhu Cultural Grand Corridor (良渚文化大走廊) Construction Headquarters, introduced that in accordance with the "corridor-style" development concept, with the 5,000-year-old Liangzhu Culture (良渚文化) as the core, the more than 2,000-year-old Grand Canal Culture (运河文化), the more than 1,000-year-old Jing Mountain Culture (径山文化), and the double-millennium ancient town culture and other important resources are connected into a chain. Yuhang District (余杭区) uses culture as a link to promote the coordinated development of cities, villages, industries, and ecology, and to achieve the connection between ancient cities and new cities, the intersection of history and modernity, and the integration of technology and culture.
The value of Liangzhu Cultural Heritage (良渚文化遗产) is constantly being transformed into a new driving force for the development of surrounding areas. "Every time I go to the Liangzhu Museum (良渚博物院), I always think about how to integrate Liangzhu cultural elements into our products." Hangzhou Zibangbang Technology Co., Ltd. (杭州字棒棒科技有限公司), which is located in Liangzhu New City (良渚新城), is engaged in the development of calligraphy learning software. Zhang Dongqing (张冬青), the head of the company, has to go to the Liangzhu Museum (良渚博物院) every now and then. In addition to feeling the cultural atmosphere of Liangzhu (良渚), he also goes to find some new inspiration.
In Yuhang District (余杭区), the local area has innovatively established a mechanism of "building a new city to protect the ancient city," using land transfer fees to feed back the protection of the ruins, forming a virtuous cycle of "new city revenue supporting the protection of the ancient city." Not only is part of the land transfer fee in the Liangzhu New City (良渚新城) area used for the protection of the Liangzhu Ancient City (良渚古城) Ruins, realizing capital feedback, but also relying on the radiation effect of the Liangzhu (良渚) Ruins, digital cultural enterprises are attracted to settle in Liangzhu New City (良渚新城), thereby realizing industrial feedback.
In Ye Weijun's (叶维军) view, this model not only guarantees the funding needs for the protection of the ruins, but also drives the upgrading of the regional economy through the development of the new city, achieving a **双赢** (shuāng yíng - "win-win," a situation where all parties benefit). At present, the digital cultural industry in Liangzhu New City (良渚新城) is developing rapidly, with more than 1,200 enterprises settled there.
In Hangzhou (杭州), Yuhang District (余杭区), where the Liangzhu (良渚) Ruins are located, has built a closed-loop system of "ruins protection - cultural inheritance - economic development - urban upgrading" through space integration, industrial integration, mechanism innovation, and international exchanges. People personally feel that cultural heritage is not only a witness to history, but also a strategic resource for regional development. Through scientific planning and innovative practices, the splendid culture that has continued for thousands of years is being integrated into the local urban development, enriching people's spiritual lives.
Shanxi Pingyao (山西平遥)
"Life in the Ancient City is More Comfortable"
Fu Mingli (付明丽) Zhao Fang (赵芳)
Walking into the city from Yingxun Gate (迎薰门), the mottled old city gate, the deep rut marks, the heavy ancient city walls, and the exquisite carvings... More than 300 cultural relics and nearly 4,000 traditional buildings are preserved in the 2.25 square kilometers of the ancient city of Pingyao (平遥古城), Shanxi (山西). It takes a day to take a quick look.
The ancient city of Pingyao (平遥古城) is the most complete county-level city in China, with a history of more than 2,800 years. In 1997, the ancient city of Pingyao (平遥古城) pioneered China's inclusion of an entire ancient city in the World Cultural Heritage list. This "historical museum" is full of cultural relics that need careful care.
A large-scale immigration project was launched before and after the application for World Heritage status of the ancient city of Pingyao (平遥古城). At that time, there were 45,000 residents in the ancient city, but now it has been reduced to about 11,000. Through relocation, the pressure on the ancient city's transportation, street renovation, and safety protection has been greatly reduced, freeing up more space for the implementation of ancient city protection.
The ancient city of Pingyao (平遥古城) integrates the protection zone, scenic area, and community into one, and is a "living ancient city." How to handle the relationship between protection and development, original residents and tourists?
"Develop in protection and utilize in inheritance." Wei Jiangfeng (魏江峰), Secretary of the Pingyao County (平遥县) Party Committee, believes that the power of culture supports the spirit of the ancient city of Pingyao (平遥古城), and it is the life and production of the original residents that make the culture, customs, and folk customs of the ancient city inherited from generation to generation.
To retain the atmosphere of everyday life, we must first retain the people who have lived in the ancient city for generations. In order to balance ancient city protection and people's livelihood improvement, in 2020, Pingyao County (平遥县) launched the Pingyao Ancient City (平遥古城) Underground Comprehensive Pipe Gallery Construction Project, comprehensively upgrading and transforming the six types of underground pipe networks in 121 streets in the ancient city: electricity, communication, rainwater, sewage, gas, and fire protection. The entire project lasted 3 years and cost 1.39 billion yuan, completely solving the problems of rain and sewage diversion, waterlogging, and insufficient power load that have plagued the ancient city for many years.
"The alleys don't smell bad in the rainy season, and there is no power outage during the peak tourist season. Life in the ancient city is more comfortable." Guo Xiaoqiang (郭小强), the owner of the No. 12 courtyard in Yaomen Lane (窑门巷), is very satisfied with the current living conditions.
At the same time, on the basis of protecting and repairing the traditional private houses in the ancient city, Pingyao County (平遥县) launched a special renovation campaign of the ancient city's "sky, facade, and street" with a total investment of more than 5 million yuan, making the ancient and original flavor the "golden calling card" of this historical and cultural city.
To retain the atmosphere of everyday life, we must constantly innovate the way of cultural expression. In order to explore the cultural connotation of Jin merchants, Pingyao (平遥) created a large-scale indoor immersive experience drama "See Pingyao Again (又见平遥)" in 2013. This drama takes tourists from the present Pingyao (平遥) all the way to the ancient Jin merchants and has continued for 12 years. More importantly, most of the actors in the play are locals, and their deep feelings for their homeland far outweigh any professional skills. Song Richen (宋日晨), Chairman of Pingyao Ancient City (平遥古城) Scenic Area Management Co., Ltd., believes that the ancient city should be audible, visible, perceptible, and knowable, and integrate existing resources into the overall narrative system.
Pingyao (平遥) has built 24 tourist attractions, 6 characteristic industrial blocks, and more than 400 tourist characteristic shops, and has cultivated a number of new formats such as Yingxun Gate (迎薰门) 3D light show, Huanzhen Technology Show, Hanfu (汉服) experience hall, and research and study tourism base. More than 10 million people come here every year. They check in at ancient buildings, experience intangible cultural heritage, taste food, and create new ancient city culture and urban memories together with the original residents.
Guangdong Chaozhou (广东潮州)
Left a "Living Ancient City"
Li Zong (李纵)
Slightly weathered eaves, bright and transparent glazed windows, colorful cement flower tiles... Being in Xueju (雪居) in Yijing Lane (义井巷), Paifang Street (牌坊街), Chaozhou City (潮州市), Guangdong Province (广东省), is like opening a door to a time tunnel. This old house, built in 1946, was carefully designed and built by Wu Xuexun (吴雪薰), the founder of the department store "Wu Xiangji (吴祥记)" during the Republic of China, to support his mother.
"The old house, which has experienced wind and frost, has been transformed into a coffee and tea house, welcoming guests every day, which is very lively." Zhang Qingchun (张庆春), the great-grandson of Wu Xuexun (吴雪薰), said that Xueju (雪居) has become a new internet celebrity destination for tourists to Chaozhou (潮州) with its combination of Chinese and Western styles, magnificent architectural style, and deep integration of culture and service.
"In reality, Xueju (雪居) had been left idle for a long time, almost abandoned." Unable to bear seeing the old house abandoned, in recent years, under the initiation and guidance of relevant departments in Chaozhou (潮州市), Zhang Qingchun (张庆春) funded the renovation of the old house himself. Adhering to the principle of "restoring the old as before," the original ceilings, patterned tiles, and "red hair ash" on the door frames were "preserved as much as possible." "These are traces of history, and even if they are incomplete, they have their meaning."
Xueju (雪居) is just a microcosm of Chaozhou's (潮州) efforts to mobilize social forces to participate in the protection and utilization of cultural heritage buildings.
The ancient city of Chaozhou (潮州), Guangdong (广东), with a history of more than 2,000 years, still retains the street pattern of "outer curved inner square, four horizontal and three vertical," with thousands of ancient buildings and old houses scattered throughout. Today, more and more ancient buildings and old houses are being given new connotations, and those renovated and transformed into homestays, teahouses, and restaurants have become the foothold for tourists to experience the human touch of the ancient city of Chaozhou (潮州).
Over the years, as the second batch of National Historical and Cultural Cities and one of the most densely populated areas of cultural relics and monuments in Guangdong Province (广东省), Chaozhou (潮州) has always shouldered the mission of "protecting the city's historical and cultural heritage and continuing the city's cultural heritage." Centering on the application for World Cultural Heritage for the ancient city, mobilizing the participation of the masses, putting in enough "embroidery" effort, and deeply implementing the ancient city upgrading action plan, 139 cultural relics sites and more than 1,000 ancient residences have been restored to their former glory. In 2023, Chaozhou (潮州) was successfully selected into the second batch of national demonstration zone creation list for the protection and utilization of cultural relics.
"To this day, 58,000 original residents still live in the ancient city of Chaozhou (潮州). The ancient city retains the traditional community structure, folk customs, Chaozhou cuisine, Kung Fu tea, Chaozhou opera, etc., which are generally integrated into everyone's daily life, leaving behind a 'living ancient city'." said He Xiaojun (何晓军), Secretary of the Chaozhou Municipal Party Committee (潮州市委).
He Xiaojun (何晓军) introduced that in the process of promoting the protection of the ancient city of Chaozhou (潮州), Chaozhou (潮州) has always adhered to a sense of awe, explored a small-scale, gradual urban renewal model in the ancient city area, and created an original ecological "living ancient city" that "sees people, sees things, and sees life."
With the arrival of summer vacation, the tourism popularity of the ancient city of Chaozhou (潮州) has once again climbed. This ancient city, which has always focused on promoting mutual promotion between protection and development, is radiating the dazzling light of tradition and modernity intertwined.

Cities are the carriers of people's aspirations for a better life. Over the past decades, urbanization has progressed rapidly, and the face of cities has changed dramatically. Protecting valuable ancient buildings and historical blocks is crucial for continuing the historical and cultural heritage of cities and protecting the cultural heritage left by our predecessors.
Regarding the protection of urban cultural heritage, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that "we must not engage in excessive renovation or excessive development, and preserve the original historical appearance as much as possible."
To protect urban cultural heritage, we must first clarify the objects of protection. At present, the fourth national cultural relics survey is being carried out in depth. In accordance with the requirement of "protecting everything that should be protected," it will comprehensively ascertain the distribution, value characteristics, and preservation status of immovable cultural relics resources in China, and establish a national general catalog of immovable cultural relics resources. Legally identifying, registering, and publishing the list of immovable cultural relics, and announcing the results of the survey to the public, can ensure that they are not damaged in urban renewal and commercial tourism development, and also lay a solid foundation for comprehensive protection and overall protection.
To protect urban cultural heritage, rational utilization is necessary for its sustainable preservation. While ensuring that its core values are not damaged, we should broaden our thinking, explore the creative protection and innovative utilization of heritage, so that it can be reintegrated into economic and social development and become a part of the common development of urban and rural areas. Today, we can see in many places that dilapidated courtyards and once-desolate old streets have been renovated and given appropriate functions, becoming charming high-quality spaces and places loved by young people. On some social media platforms, young people enthusiastically share their experiences and best photography angles, and upload "the most beautiful old houses." Those once-forgotten urban memories also arouse citizens' love and pride for their hometowns. Protecting these old buildings and allowing them to shine again in contemporary life is to protect heritage, continue cultural context, and make history and the present complement each other.
Space carries culture. From the landscape pattern and street texture to the ordinary alleys and people's homes, all are moving scenes. We must not only protect the visible old houses, but also protect the life under the eaves. In recent years, cultural heritage protection has been moving from key protection to comprehensive protection, systematic protection, and overall protection. In the renewal of historical blocks, the protection of cultural heritage, and tourism development, adhering to the joint protection of people and houses can retain the roots of culture and protect our native cultural genes. It is precisely because of the "embroidery" skills of overall protection and living heritage that those ancient cities rich in heritage have been rejuvenated with unprecedented brilliance. One cultural relic-themed tourist route after another strings beads into chains, connecting ancient sites and attracting us to feel the long history and enduring years.
When historical culture is integrated with modern life, every inch of the city's texture is filled with people's understanding of a happy life, and the city will be full of vitality and new vitality.
