In this golden autumn season, the sun shines brightly, and the sky is clear and blue. On September 23rd, as the special plane carrying General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) slowly landed at Urumqi Tianshan International Airport (乌鲁木齐天山国际机场), the tarmac had already become a sea of flowers, red flags, and songs and dances.
The General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the President of the People's Republic of China, and the Chairman of the Central Military Commission led a central delegation to Xinjiang (新疆) to attend the celebration of the establishment of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区). This is the first time in the history of the Party and the country. This fully reflects the great importance the Party Central Committee and General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) attach to the work in Xinjiang (新疆) and their deep concern for the cadres and people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang (新疆).
Amidst the joyous music, the crowd cheered. Uygur (维吾尔族) people played hand drums, Kazakh (哈萨克族) people held up gift boxes, Mongolian (蒙古族) people waved hadas, Hui (回族) people held covered teacups, Kyrgyz (柯尔克孜族) people played komuz, and Han (汉族) people played big drums... A colorful land and simple, enthusiastic people.
This is the fourth time General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) has come to Xinjiang (新疆) since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
In previous visits, he left his mark across the Tianshan Mountains (天山南北), visiting rural courtyards, community homes, green campuses, orchards and cotton fields, logistics ports, ancient ruins, and military garrisons.
This time, he came to express warm congratulations and heartfelt wishes, and to chart a new chapter for socialist modernization in Xinjiang (新疆).
On the afternoon of the 23rd, he cordially met with representatives from all sectors of Xinjiang (新疆); on the 24th, he visited the thematic achievement exhibition commemorating the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区) in the morning, listened to the work reports of the Autonomous Region's Party Committee and government in the afternoon, and watched the celebratory gala commemorating the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Autonomous Region in the evening; on the morning of the 25th, he attended the celebration大会 commemorating the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Autonomous Region... A packed schedule, all for more contact with people from all ethnic groups and all walks of life.
"At a new starting point, I hope that the comrades in the Autonomous Region and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (兵团) will continue their efforts and struggles to do a better job in all aspects and create a better tomorrow for Xinjiang (新疆)."
(I) Ten Thousand Melodies Celebrate a New Day
--"The face of Xinjiang (新疆) has undergone earth-shaking changes"
"With one crow of the rooster, the world turns white; ten thousand melodies are played in Hotan (于阗)."
At the entrance of the thematic achievement exhibition is a calligraphy work of a poem by Comrade Mao Zedong (毛泽东). The poem was written in 1950 when representatives of all ethnic groups from Xinjiang (新疆) and other places gathered in Beijing (北京) to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Comrade Mao Zedong (毛泽东) was inspired to write it.
The construction and development of Xinjiang (新疆) has always been inseparable from the care and support of the motherland.
On October 1, 1955, National Day, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区) was established. The front page of the Xinjiang Daily (新疆日报) published a line of large characters: "Celebrate National Day! Celebrate the establishment of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区)!"
Over the past seventy years, weathering the storms, with mountains and rivers as the zither and struggle as the strings, a magnificent movement of earth-shaking change has been played on this beautiful and vast land that makes up one-sixth of the motherland.
"I am deeply impressed by these aspects." At the work report meeting of the Autonomous Region's Party Committee and government, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) reminisced about the past and spoke in detail.
The situation of unity and stability has been consolidated and deepened: "People of all ethnic groups have extensive exchanges, interactions, and integration. Yesterday, I met with patriotic figures from the religious circles and grassroots religious work cadres. Everyone here lives in harmony."
Historic leaps have been achieved in economic and social development: "From having no asphalt roads when Xinjiang (新疆) was peacefully liberated to all prefectures and cities entering the era of expressways, from a relatively closed inland area to a frontier of opening up to the outside world. In 2024, the region's gross domestic product exceeded 2 trillion yuan, which is 204.3 times that of 1955."
People's well-being has been greatly improved: "In 2024, the per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents increased by 133.2 times and 162.3 times respectively compared to 1978. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, 3.06 million people of all ethnic groups have been lifted out of poverty as scheduled, 15 years of free education has been fully covered in southern Xinjiang (南疆), free health checkups have been realized for all, and more than 10 million people of all ethnic groups have bid farewell to adobe houses and waterlogged dams, and have access to natural gas and tap water."
Remarkable achievements have been made in ecological civilization construction: "From sand advancing and people retreating to green advancing and sand retreating, the area of desertified land has ushered in a historical turning point from increase to decrease, and the excellent rate of surface water quality in national control sections has reached 95.9%."
The General Secretary said with great emotion: "These achievements are remarkable! On behalf of the Party Central Committee, I would like to express my warm congratulations and sincere greetings to the cadres and people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang (新疆)."
While visiting the thematic achievement exhibition, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) stopped in front of a restored scene showing the relocation of people from poverty-stricken areas.
That was Daliyabuyi Village (达里雅布依村), an ancient village in the hinterland of the Taklamakan Desert (塔克拉玛干沙漠), where villagers built "fence houses" out of poplar, red willow, reeds, and silt.
"Is this kind of house very cold in winter?" the General Secretary asked.
"It's drafty and very cold in winter. Now everyone has moved into new houses." The person in charge of the Autonomous Region pointed to the restored scene of the new houses on the other side and replied. It was a modern two-story building with sofas and televisions in the living room, and water, electricity, and gas were all available.
"The changes are too great, it can be said to be a leap of a century. I remember when I went to Hotan (和田) in 2003, there were many adobe houses and people were traveling on donkey carts. It is through comparison that we know that the current life did not fall from the sky, it has not always been like this, it is an earth-shaking change!"
On the morning of the 25th, the Xinjiang People's Hall (新疆人民会堂) was filled with laughter and cheers. In front of the hall's square were two huge pomegranate-shaped landscape installations made of red stone. People dressed in festive costumes gathered here from all directions to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Autonomous Region.
Accompanied by Wang Huning (王沪宁), a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协主席), and head of the central delegation, and Cai Qi (蔡奇), a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) walked briskly onto the rostrum and waved to the audience. Applause thundered and lasted for a long time.
The national anthem was sonorous and loud, and the national emblem shone brightly. The enthusiastic scene of the celebration大会 was broadcast throughout the country through live footage.
Li Ganjie (李干杰), a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Minister of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee (中央统战部部长), and deputy head of the central delegation, read out the congratulatory message from the CPC Central Committee, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (全国人大常委会), the State Council (国务院), the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协), and the Central Military Commission (中央军委) on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区).
The tremendous changes over the past seventy years are reflected in the intuitive data changes and even more so in the happy lives of the people.
Aimila Guli Abudu (艾米拉古丽·阿不都), a kindergarten principal from Kashgar Prefecture (喀什地区), spoke at the大会. "The kindergarten building where I work has changed from a low adobe house to a standardized kindergarten." Her gratitude stems from her personal experience and what she has seen with her own eyes. Today, all rural preschool children in Xinjiang (新疆) can enjoy three years of free education, and the kindergarten buildings have become the most beautiful buildings in the countryside.
Gu Xiangfeng (谷祥峰), who has been driving a bus in Urumqi (乌鲁木齐市) for more than 30 years, sees the changes from the "small home" of the ten-meter carriage: "People of all ethnic groups chat with each other, help each other, young people take the initiative to give up their seats to the elderly, children greet each other, and citizens learn each other's languages... Heartwarming stories are constantly being staged."
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) listened attentively and applauded them.
Entrusted by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平), the central delegation went to 14 prefectures and cities in Xinjiang (新疆) and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (兵团) from the 25th to the 28th, going deep into rural areas, communities, enterprises, schools, hospitals, cultural and museum units, and religious venues to bring the Party's care and the blessings of the people of the whole country to the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang (新疆); and presented the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区) with a congratulatory plaque inscribed by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平): "Forge a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and build a socialist modernized Xinjiang (新疆)."
Today's Xinjiang (新疆) is in the best period of development in its history. From desolation to prosperity, from backwardness to progress, from poverty to affluence, from closure to opening up, through the magnificent scroll of time, people have a deeper understanding of the unwavering original aspiration of the century-old Party and a deeper understanding of the key role of strong leadership and ideological guidance.
The territory of a state, is where the people reside. Border security, is a major national affair.
This is a strategic and overall perspective, planning, and deployment: "Xinjiang's (新疆) work has a particularly important position in the overall work of the Party and the country, and it is related to the overall situation of building a strong country and national rejuvenation."
This is a leap in the understanding of the laws of border governance: taking the Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang (新疆) in the new era as the guideline and soul for doing a good job in Xinjiang (新疆) in the new era, firmly grasping the overall goal of social stability and long-term peace and stability, closely focusing on the main line of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, and unswervingly following the correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics.
On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Autonomous Region, the white paper "The Successful Practice of the Party's Strategy for Governing Xinjiang (新疆) in the New Era" was released.
Looking at the historical context and the practice of the times, the white paper profoundly points out: "The Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang (新疆) in the new era guides the modernization of the border governance system and governance capacity to achieve a historic leap, and has found a correct path to coordinate development and security in border areas, steadily promote the Xinjiang (新疆) practice of Chinese-style modernization, and achieve the overall goal of social stability and long-term peace and stability in Xinjiang (新疆)."
Looking back at the past and looking forward to the future.
From the two central Xinjiang (新疆) work symposiums to multiple inspections and research, from participating in the deliberations of the Xinjiang (新疆) delegation to the National People's Congress (全国两会) to making a series of important instructions and approvals... At the work report meeting of the Autonomous Region's Party Committee and government, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) reviewed the process of the Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang (新疆) in the new era being proposed and continuously enriched and developed, and said earnestly:
"We are conducting a review and sorting out in the hope that Xinjiang (新疆) will take the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Autonomous Region as a new starting point to fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang (新疆) in the new era" "Concentrate our efforts, persevere, and strive to build a united and harmonious, prosperous and affluent, civilized and progressive, peaceful and happy, and ecologically sound socialist modernized Xinjiang (新疆)."
(II) Holding Each Other Tightly
--"Forge the Chinese heart and the Chinese soul"
On the afternoon of the 23rd, in the Tianshan Hall (天山厅), Kunlun Hall (昆仑厅), and the conference hall of the Xinjiang Yingbin Hotel Conference Center (新疆迎宾馆会议中心), bursts of warm applause rose one after another. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) met with representatives from relevant aspects of Xinjiang (新疆) in batches and took group photos with everyone.
Walking slowly from one end of the line to the other, the General Secretary frequently waved his hand in greeting and cordially shook hands with the comrades in the front row from time to time.
Among the representatives from all ethnic groups and all walks of life, Wei Deyou (魏德友) and Maimaitijiang Wumaier (买买提江·吾买尔), winners of the "July 1st Medal" ("七一勋章"), Baiyika Kailidibieke (巴依卡·凯力迪别克), the "People's Guardian" ("人民卫士"), and Burumahan Maoleduo (布茹玛汗·毛勒朵), the "People's Role Model" ("人民楷模"), stood in the first row, their medals shining brightly on their chests.
Seeing Baiyika Kailidibieke (巴依卡·凯力迪别克), who has guarded the border for more than 70 years over three generations of his family, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) gently stroked the "People's Guardian" medal on his chest. Last September, at the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂) in Beijing (北京), the General Secretary pinned this heavy medal on his chest.
"How is your health?"
"I am in good health, thank you General Secretary, you have worked hard."
Burumahan Maoleduo (布茹玛汗·毛勒朵), the 83-year-old "People's Role Model" ("人民楷模"), wore a traditional Kyrgyz (柯尔克孜族) dress and gave the General Secretary a thumbs up: "Hello General Secretary, China (中国) is in my heart."
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) held her hand tightly. For more than 50 years, her hands have carved the words "China (中国)" on more than 100,000 stones of all sizes on the border line.
In the crowd, the General Secretary recognized Kurban Niyaz (库尔班·尼亚孜). This primary school principal from Aksu (阿克苏) has been promoting and spreading outstanding traditional Chinese culture for more than 20 years and has won many national honors.
"You have a lot of medals on your body." The General Secretary shook hands with him with a smile.
Kurban Niyaz (库尔班·尼亚孜) recited them like a treasure: "This is the Reform Pioneer Medal (改革先锋奖章), and there is also the 2019 National Model Individual for Ethnic Unity and Progress (全国民族团结进步模范个人) medal, which you personally awarded to me at that time."
With the country and the family engraved in their hearts, "the 56 ethnic groups united together are the Chinese nation community."
The four "commons" profoundly pointed out by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people: "People of all ethnic groups have a common home, which is China (中国); they all have a common identity, which is the Chinese nation; they all have a common name, which is Chinese; and they all have a common dream, which is to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!"
In the thematic achievement exhibition, a video screen attracted the General Secretary's attention.
That was in July this year, when students participating in the "Motherland Love Chinese Journey" ("祖国情·中华行") Xinjiang (新疆) Youth Summer Research Class came to Tiananmen Square (天安门广场) in Beijing (北京) to watch the national flag raising ceremony. A little girl from Cele County (策勒县) in Hotan (和田) was so excited that she shed tears: "The five-star red flag is a bright red in the blue sky, and it is also a red that will never be erased in my heart."
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) stood quietly watching, feeling very gratified: "She said it so well! The children will definitely be promising in the future."
Nourishing Xinjiang (新疆) with culture and influencing people with culture. At the report meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) earnestly instructed: "Guide cadres and the masses of all ethnic groups to establish correct views on the country, history, ethnicity, culture, and religion, and forge the Chinese heart and the Chinese soul."
On the evening of the 24th, an autumn rain brought a strong chill. In the night, the Urumqi Cultural Center (乌鲁木齐文化中心) was outlined with red light and shadow in the shape of blooming snow lotus flowers. The six venues of this building complex surround the "stamen" cultural tower, with petals united in one heart.
Inside the Grand Theater, it was warm and cozy. Bright music, gorgeous costumes, swirling dance steps, and moving songs merged into a sea of joy. The wonderful performance won warm applause from General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) and other leaders and the audience.
Jiang Nuri (江努日), a representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of "Manas" (《玛纳斯》) storytelling, also came. Three years ago, at the Xinjiang Museum (新疆博物馆), he and his performance team showed it to General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平).
When the General Secretary visited the thematic achievement exhibition that morning, he saw the group photo with them that year and asked with a smile: "Is that child still singing?" That was Jiang Nuri's (江努日) little apprentice, Yumitali (玉米塔力).
"Yes, they will also perform tonight."
Three years have passed, and Yumitali (玉米塔力), who told the General Secretary at the time that he "can only sing for 60 minutes continuously," has not only grown taller, but also sings better and can sing longer. The heroic epic is passionate and unrestrained, majestic and inspiring.
Culture is being inherited, and spirit is being passed on.
This is a relay between father and daughter--
The big screen of the literary and artistic gala froze on a precious group photo: On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party in 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) awarded Wei Deyou (魏德友) the Party's highest honor, the "July 1st Medal" ("七一勋章"), at the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂).
Now, Wei Deyou's (魏德友) daughter, Wei Ping (魏萍), has taken over her father's binoculars and has also become a border guard.
Under the spotlight, Wei Ping (魏萍) revealed her heart: "This is the trust and entrustment of the Party and the people to our border guards of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang (新疆). We will use our lives to guard the border of the motherland."
This is a relay of youth across generations--
Three years ago, in Shihezi City (石河子市), General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) walked into the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (新疆兵团) Military Reclamation Museum to relive the arduous years of entrepreneurship. Standing in front of the huge photo wall of "Eight Thousand Hunan Women Ascend the Tianshan Mountains" ("八千湘女上天山"), the faces of those young people who resolutely chose to take root in the border areas moved the General Secretary.
This time, when visiting the thematic achievement exhibition, seeing the photos of Premier Zhou Enlai (周恩来) visiting the youth supporting the border areas in the Shihezi Reclamation Area (石河子垦区), and seeing the dugouts where the first generation of aid-Xinjiang (援疆) builders lived, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) said with emotion: "Their deeds are very inspiring" "With one call, so many people came here."
Taking root in the border areas, the song of youth is inherited in one continuous line. Before the May Fourth Youth Day this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) replied to the members of the Western China Volunteer Program service team of Xiete Primary School (谢依特小学) who were teaching in the border areas.
At the literary and artistic gala, the volunteers once again relived the warm and powerful message between the lines, and the oath of youth resounded throughout the theater: "'To shine in the places where the motherland and the people need us most, and to contribute the strength of youth to the construction of Chinese-style modernization', let youth bloom in the most beautiful place in this motherland, facing the sun!"
(III) A Change in Ideas Opens Up a Wide World
——"Continuously Create a Happy and Beautiful Life"
Steadily promoting high-quality development is the foundation for Xinjiang's long-term stability and security.
Entering the new era, Xinjiang's strategic positioning in the overall national landscape is clear and well-defined, clarifying a clear path of embracing "national priorities" and leveraging its unique advantages.
At the reporting meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) instructed: "Build a golden passage for Eurasia and a bridgehead for westward opening, construct a strategic fulcrum for the new development pattern, a national strategic base for energy and resource security, an important national supply base for high-quality agricultural and livestock products, and a strategic barrier to safeguard national geopolitical security. We must anchor these 'five strategic positions' entrusted by the Central Government."
With five ports connecting eight countries and a route linking Europe and Asia, standing in the Tianshan (天山) Mountains, both north and south, today, one gazes upon a vast world. Xinjiang (新疆) carries the glory of the ancient Silk Road and embraces new opportunities of the era.
Urumqi (乌鲁木齐), the city farthest from the ocean in the world.
In 2014, when General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) inspected Xinjiang (新疆), he made a meaningful statement: "If the Silk Road Economic Belt is built, Xinjiang (新疆) may become a prosperous center. Not to mention anything else, Urumqi (乌鲁木齐) is currently the largest city within a radius of 1,500 kilometers. What a sight it will be then!"
During his inspection in 2022, the General Secretary made a special trip to the Urumqi International Land Port Area (乌鲁木齐国际陆港区), connecting in real-time with the Alashankou Port (阿拉山口口岸) and Horgos Port (霍尔果斯口岸). "This is no longer a remote area, but has become a core area, a hub area."
During this visit to the thematic achievement exhibition, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) listened to a briefing on Xinjiang's (新疆) expansion of opening up to the outside world in front of a distribution map of ports in the autonomous region. Along the long border of more than 5,700 kilometers, ports are densely distributed.
Currently, Xinjiang (新疆) has 19 ports open to the outside world, including 16 land ports, ranking among the top in the country. In 2024, 16,400 China-Europe (Asia) freight trains passed through, maintaining more than 10,000 trains for five consecutive years.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) encouraged: "You have many ports. Next, you must make good use of these ports."
"Xinjiang (新疆) has advantages in terms of location, channels, opening up, and resources. It is necessary to accelerate the construction of the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt." When listening to the work report of the Autonomous Region Party Committee and the government, the General Secretary explained the profound considerations behind it:
"What is the 'core area'? In the past, this was an inland and remote place, but now it has become a hub of the Silk Road Economic Belt, especially radiating to Europe and Asia. There is a great advantage here. Now this advantage has already emerged, and we must continue to expand this achievement."
"Unlimited scenery," Xinjiang's (新疆) electricity is transmitted outward, and a profound energy revolution is taking place in the magnificent mountains and rivers; golden wheat waves and fragrant melons and fruits, the northwest granary has a heavy weight in the "Chinese rice bowl"; receiving more than 300 million tourists throughout the year, the beautiful Xinjiang (新疆) has become the "poetry and distance" for more and more people; putting a "green scarf" on the world's second largest mobile desert, creating a miracle in the history of human desertification control...
Today, on the geographical framework of "Three Mountains and Two Basins" (三山两盆), from the energy artery of West-East Gas Pipeline (西气东输) to the power grid of the Around-Tarim Basin Project (环塔工程), from the transportation miracle connecting the Tianshan (天山) Mountains to the digital wave of the "Silk Road Computing Valley" (丝路算谷), Xinjiang (新疆) is standing up a new backbone of development.
"To grasp development, we must proceed from reality, base ourselves on resource endowments and industrial foundations, and actively explore a path of high-quality development that suits our own characteristics."
While fully affirming Xinjiang's (新疆) development achievements, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) further pointed out the direction of focus: "We must adhere to the development of characteristic and advantageous industries such as oil and gas, minerals, wind and solar power, grain, and fruits and vegetables, and strengthen the chain in a targeted manner to form competitive industrial clusters. We must strengthen the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, select the right direction and breakthrough point, and develop new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions."
The miracle in the Tianshan (天山) Mountains, both north and south, is the result of the joint efforts of many people united as one, and the joint dedication of many people selflessly and generously.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) said: "In recent years, the Party Central Committee has issued special documents, increased investment, identified a number of key projects, organized large-scale aid to Xinjiang (新疆), and integrated a large amount of resources and forces around promoting Xinjiang's (新疆) economic and social development." "This is considered from the overall national situation, fully reflecting the significant political advantages of our socialist system. This aspect will continue to be done in the future."
On the afternoon of the 23rd, in the conference center of the Xinjiang (新疆) Yingbin Hotel (迎宾馆), a neat and loud voice sounded: "Hello, General Secretary! The aid-Xinjiang (援疆) cadres report to you!"
"Aid to Xinjiang (援疆) is a political task, reflecting the superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics of **一方有事、八方支援** (yī fāng yǒu shì, bā fāng zhī yuán - "when trouble occurs in one place, help comes from all quarters," describes the collective support and assistance provided to a region or area in need from all other regions or areas) and concentrating efforts to accomplish great things." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) said to everyone, "In Xinjiang (新疆), it is necessary to implement the Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang (新疆) in the new era. To promote the development of Xinjiang (新疆), it is necessary to reflect the unity of all ethnic groups, **像石榴籽一样紧紧抱在一起** (xiàng shí liú zǐ yī yàng jǐn jǐn bào zài yī qǐ - "like pomegranate seeds tightly held together," describes the close unity and solidarity among different ethnic groups), and it must be reflected on the road to prosperity and on the road to people's pursuit of a happy life, with no one left behind. Our aid-Xinjiang (援疆) work over the years has been fruitful. Xinjiang (新疆) has undergone such great changes, and the aid-Xinjiang (援疆) cadres have made indelible contributions."
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits and full of confidence, the General Secretary was very happy and encouraged them: "Most of our aid-Xinjiang (援疆) cadres are young people. Aid-Xinjiang (援疆) work is a rich and colorful stroke in your life experience. This process is a very important test. I wish you all the best!"
During this trip to Xinjiang (新疆), the scenes were touching.
When General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) traveled by vehicle from the airport to his residence and from his residence to the airport, crowds surged to both sides of the streets along the way.
Enthusiastic smiling faces, long arrays of waving red flags, mothers holding infants, children riding on their fathers' necks, Young Pioneers cheering, citizens pulling out banners "The Party is the Sun, I am a Flower" (党是太阳 我是花) and "Dear General Secretary, Our Life is Yakexi" (亲人总书记 我们生活亚克西), singing in unison "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China" (没有共产党，就没有新中国) and "Sing of Our Dear Motherland, From Now On Towards Prosperity and Strength" (歌唱我们亲爱的祖国，从今走向繁荣富强)...
At Tianshan International Airport (天山国际机场), General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) walked up the boarding ladder, stopped at the door of the cabin, and waved goodbye to everyone.
The plane taxied along the runway and flew into the blue sky. The crowd seeing him off was immersed in the joy of happiness and was reluctant to leave for a long time.
The Tianshan Bogda Peak (天山博格达峰) at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters is covered with white snow. It has witnessed the glorious years of this land and will surely continue to witness new and greater miracles.
"A united Chinese nation of all ethnic groups will surely be invincible, and will surely have a bright future. Our second centenary goal will surely be achieved victoriously, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will surely arrive."

As the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day approach, mooncakes are entering their peak sales season. People have noticed that "sky-high priced mooncakes" have disappeared from the market, and the "original flavor of mooncakes" has returned. Party members and cadres are 化风成俗 (huà fēng chéng sú - "transform customs into habits," to change customs and habits through influence), neither accepting nor giving gifts, and the once-popular phenomenon of giving and receiving mooncakes is basically gone.
I heard a story about a junior high school student. Her mother was on a business trip, and her maternal grandmother, who came from out of town to celebrate the festival, opened the door to receive a package. Seeing that it was a box of mooncakes, she wanted to open it for her granddaughter to eat. The granddaughter immediately stopped her, saying that her mother said there were Eight Provisions, and she couldn't open packages sent by strangers when her mother wasn't home, and she should let her mother handle it when she returned. This story reflects the power of the spirit of the Central Eight Provisions to 化风成俗 (huà fēng chéng sú - "transform customs into habits," to change customs and habits through influence).
Since the new era, from curbing "waste on the tip of the tongue" to rectifying "corruption on wheels" and "unhealthy trends in clubhouses," to focusing on strengthening supervision and restraint during holidays, one hammer after another, adhering to one node after another, it is precisely to continuously consolidate the dam for implementing the spirit of the Central Eight Provisions and its implementation rules, and to drive the social atmosphere and public customs to be better with an excellent Party style.
Unhealthy trends and evil practices have been curbed, and new trends and righteousness are constantly being enriched. Nowadays, improper interactions have decreased, clean and refreshing relationships have been established, cadres are clean and do practical work, and dare to do things, and the masses no longer have to worry about giving gifts for "one-stop online service" and "immediate handling of complaints." These changes that have taken place around them are visible and tangible. "The Eight Provisions have relieved us of heavy burdens, reduced unnecessary greetings and farewells, and given us more time and energy to do practical things..." Cadres have said, and the masses have felt it.
Mooncakes have returned to the attributes of mass consumer goods and the origin of traditional culture, and new consumption concepts and lifestyles are taking shape. Data shows that in this year's mooncake market, 73% of consumers clearly pay attention to "healthy ingredients," and low-sugar and additive-free products have increased significantly; about 59% of consumers prefer simple packaging. Many parents take their children to experience the process of making handmade mooncakes and appreciate the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. Consumption that emphasizes rationality, health, greenness, and cultural flavor is gradually becoming mainstream. In line with this general trend, manufacturers provide consumers with richer choices by studying skills and paying attention to quality; businesses abandon the practice of "bundling sales" of mooncakes with high-priced gifts and luxury goods, but instead focus on affordable prices and offline experiences...
Consolidating the dam of the spirit of the Central Eight Provisions, blocking the abnormal development of the mooncake market, promoting the health and sustainability of the industry, and stimulating the potential and vitality of the market. Some operators frankly said: "To be honest, this change is also good for our supermarkets. Now that the common people exchange gifts, affordable festival gifts turn around quickly, funds flow flexibly, and customers have a high repurchase rate. More importantly, seeing that everyone is no longer frowning and calculating prices when buying festival gifts, but is sincerely trying to convey blessings, this business is also done with peace of mind."
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Formulating and implementing the Central Eight Provisions is our Party's move to establish credibility in the new era, and we must persevere and work for a long time. If ten years are not enough, then twenty years, and if twenty years are not enough, then thirty years, until it truly 化风成俗 (huà fēng chéng sú - "transform customs into habits," to change customs and habits through influence), and lead the social atmosphere and public customs with an excellent Party style." Recently, the General Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (中央纪委) issued a notice requiring strict implementation of the spirit of the Central Eight Provisions and strict correction of the "Four Winds" during the Double Festival, and proposed to closely monitor the problems that are prone to occur during the festival, and resolutely correct the problems of violating regulations by accepting and giving mooncakes, crab cards, crab coupons, cigarettes, alcohol, tea and other gifts and gift money.

There can be no development without peace, and no prosperity without stability. This is the enlightenment that history has given to the world, and it is also the common aspiration of peace-loving people in all countries.
On September 26, the Peace Conference commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War (hereinafter referred to as the "Peace Conference") was held in Beijing (北京). The conference was guided by the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中共中央对外联络部) and hosted by the Chinese People's Association for Peace and Disarmament (中国人民争取和平与裁军协会), with the theme of "Remembering History and Jointly Protecting Peace." More than 150 representatives from nearly 60 countries participated.
"China's firm defense of international fairness and justice is worth learning"
Remembering history is not to prolong hatred, but to awaken people's commitment to jointly maintaining world peace and stability.
Former Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva (阿披实) said that 80 years ago, the Chinese people and the people of all countries in the world ushered in a historic moment of peace, and the current international order was gradually established. Today's Peace Conference is not only a commemorative event, but also a new starting point for all parties to build consensus and jointly protect peace. "We should not take the peaceful and beautiful life that our predecessors exchanged with blood and sweat for granted, but should draw experience and lessons from history. The younger generation should have a sense of worry and continue to defend peace, because peace is the foundation of development and prosperity."
"Peace conferences and other commemorative activities are like history lessons, constantly reminding us of the importance of maintaining world peace." Ben Martins (本·马丁斯), head of the South African Peace Initiative and international relations secretary of the South African Communist Party, said that China has held a series of activities this year to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, allowing people to draw wisdom from history and gain a deeper understanding of how to defend world peace in the future. "President Xi Jinping (习近平) profoundly pointed out that temporary strength depends on force, while lasting victory depends on reason. China's firm defense of international fairness and justice is worth learning."
"It is very necessary to hold commemorative activities with the theme of peace, and such activities should be continued." Former French National Assembly member Frédérique Dumas (弗莱斯特) said that her participation in the conference in China gave her a better understanding of the contributions of the Chinese people in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and World War II. "Peace is a major theme in today's world, and it is very important to let the whole world understand the true history of the anti-fascist war."
During the conference, the guests visited the Museum of the History of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党历史展览馆) and the Museum of the War of Chinese People's Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (中国人民抗日战争纪念馆), gaining a deeper understanding of the great contributions that the Communist Party of China (中国共产党) and the Chinese people have always made to maintaining world peace.
"Inspiring and hopeful for other developing countries to achieve development and prosperity"
From standing up, getting rich, to becoming strong, China's peaceful development has not only benefited more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, but also enhanced the well-being of people in neighboring countries and the world.
"China's development has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. By jointly building the 'Belt and Road' with relevant countries and proposing and practicing the four major global initiatives, China has brought inspiration and hope for other developing countries to achieve development and prosperity." Former Pakistani caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar (卡卡尔) said, "Successful cases such as the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (中巴经济走廊) show that China not only benefits its own country, but also benefits the world. China's peaceful development is of great reference significance to other countries in the Global South."
"No one can deny China's great achievements and the important role it plays on the international stage." Abhisit Vejjajiva (阿披实) believes that China's development in agriculture, technology, environmental protection and other fields is at the global leading level, making great contributions to the world's development and prosperity. The cooperation between Thailand and China in related fields is helping Thailand's economic transformation and improving agricultural efficiency. "China respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries, and also respects the development paths independently chosen by the people of all countries. Deepening understanding and mutual respect between countries is conducive to world peace and development."
As a founding member of the United Nations, China has always actively participated in global affairs. Many international multilateral organizations initiated or participated in by China are injecting impetus into world peace and development.
Sergey Baburin (巴布林), Chairman of the International Federation of the Russian Peace Foundation and former Deputy Chairman of the Russian State Duma, said that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (上海合作组织) Tianjin Summit was held not long ago, and member states reaffirmed that they always follow the "Shanghai Spirit" of "mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations, and pursuit of common development," continuously deepen cooperation, and promote regional security, stability and sustainable development. The "Shanghai Spirit" is leading the development of SCO countries to a new height. "President Xi Jinping (习近平) put forward the Global Governance Initiative and pointed out that the SCO has 'increasingly become an active force in the construction and reform of the global governance system.' The organization's influence is constantly increasing, and it also provides a platform for unity and cooperation for all parties committed to promoting the reform of the global governance system."
"Peace never comes automatically, it requires mutual respect and careful cultivation from all parties"
The future of mankind is closely linked. Only when all countries and nations treat each other equally, live in harmony, and help each other can they maintain common security, eliminate the root causes of war, and prevent historical tragedies from recurring.
"In the current international environment of intertwined changes and chaos, the world needs stability and development, and people yearn for security and peace." Former Swiss Federal President Ueli Maurer (毛雷尔) believes that isolationism and unilateralism may bring benefits in the short term, but in the medium and long term, they will inevitably hinder growth. The Global Governance Initiative proposed by China adheres to sovereign equality, abides by international rule of law, practices multilateralism, advocates people-centeredness, and focuses on action-orientedness, and should be widely supported. "Living in a world of peace and development is the common aspiration of all people, and this requires unremitting efforts from everyone."
"Peace never comes automatically, it requires mutual respect and careful cultivation from all parties. The well-being of people in all countries is closely linked. If any country suffers, the common well-being of all mankind will be affected. No matter where we are or what our identity is, we are an indispensable part of the community of human destiny." Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar (卡卡尔) said that Pakistan is willing to continue to carry out constructive cooperation with all countries to jointly improve the cooperation framework and mechanism for maintaining peace.
Abhisit Vejjajiva (阿披实) believes that with the rise of countries in the Global South, the global governance system should be more democratic, all countries should be treated fairly and equally, and the voice of developing countries should be further enhanced. "We must be committed to making the global governance system keep pace with the times, better reflect the current changes in the international landscape, and focus on addressing current and future global challenges. The Global Governance Initiative proposed by China and other initiatives respond to these concerns and should receive widespread support."
Jeffrey Greene (杰弗里·格林), Chairman of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation, said that as long as people choose to stand shoulder to shoulder, peace can be protected. With the strong support of China, the foundation launched the "Flying Tigers Friendship School and Youth Leadership Program" in 2022, allowing the younger generation to more deeply understand in exchanges that peace needs to be guarded and passed on by each generation, so that the spirit of the Flying Tigers (飞虎队) can be passed on from generation to generation. "Today, there are 115 schools and nearly one million students in the United States and China participating in it. Defending peace should not only remain in words, but should take practical actions. We must work together with firm belief to create a brighter future for all mankind."
Return to TopIt is not enough to merely recognize the "two-state solution"; the international community must still, with greater courage and concrete actions, inject stronger political momentum into the implementation of the "two-state solution."
Recently, during the high-level week of the 80th United Nations General Assembly, the peaceful resolution of the Palestinian issue and the implementation of the "two-state solution" became the focus of international attention. France (法国), Monaco (摩纳哥), Belgium (比利时), Luxembourg (卢森堡), Malta (马耳他), and Andorra (安道尔) announced their formal recognition of the State of Palestine. Previously, the United Kingdom (英国), Canada (加拿大), Australia (澳大利亚), and Portugal (葡萄牙) had also made similar statements. Among the 193 member states of the United Nations, the number of countries recognizing the State of Palestine has increased to 157. Public opinion believes that this "recognition wave" has added positive factors to the complex Middle East situation, but it is not enough to merely recognize the "two-state solution"; the international community must still, with greater courage and concrete actions, inject stronger political momentum into the implementation of the "two-state solution."
The core of the "two-state solution" lies in achieving the peaceful coexistence of Palestine and Israel as two sovereign states. The international community generally believes that the only way to solve the Palestinian issue is to implement the "two-state solution," that is, to establish an independent State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem (东耶路撒冷) as its capital, and enjoying full sovereignty. Although Palestine declared its statehood as early as 1988 and has been recognized by the vast majority of UN member states, most Western countries have long remained silent on this issue. The outbreak of a new round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict is precisely the evil consequence of the long-term "marginalization" of the Palestinian issue.
At present, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues, causing unprecedented humanitarian disasters. More than 65,000 lives have been lost in the Gaza Strip, nearly half of whom are women and children, and 2 million people are facing a survival crisis. Many countries called for an end to the "Gaza genocide" during the UN General Assembly, and the international community has formed a stronger consensus on the urgency of implementing the "two-state solution." Riyad Mansour (曼苏尔), the Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations, pointed out: "Recognizing the State of Palestine is a support for the Palestinian people's right to self-determination, not a gift but a legitimate right." President of the current General Assembly, Dennis Francis (贝尔伯克) stated that the international community is developing a practical and irreversible roadmap to achieve the "two-state solution."
Under the ravages of war, the safety of civilian lives cannot be guaranteed, and political solutions to conflicts are difficult to achieve. The urgent task is to promote a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza with the greatest urgency. The continuous escalation of military offensives causes a large number of innocent lives to be lost every day. Humanitarian supplies are weaponized, and the distribution of supplies is militarized. These actions, which seriously violate international law, put the "two-state solution" in a dangerous situation and directly impact the stability of the Middle East region. The international community, especially countries with significant influence on the parties to the conflict, should earnestly assume their responsibilities, uphold a fair stance, and actively promote peace talks. The UN Security Council and humanitarian agencies should also fulfill their responsibilities and create realistic conditions for the implementation of the "two-state solution."
A political solution is the only correct way out of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but the blind protection of individual countries makes this path full of difficulties. Individual countries, out of consideration for geopolitical self-interest, have long adopted a biased stance, obstructing the implementation of the "two-state solution," exacerbating tensions, and seriously undermining the authority of international rule of law and multilateral mechanisms. The American magazine *New York* pointed out that in the face of the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, the United States (美国), which considers itself responsible for maintaining the post-war order, is now condoning the killings and has completely torn off the disguise of complying with laws and regulations. An editorial in the Egyptian newspaper *Al-Ahram* commented that the US veto and military support on the Israeli-Palestinian issue are important reasons for the obstruction of the "two-state solution."
The "two-state solution" concerns the bottom line of international justice and cannot be retreated from. Security should be shared, and no country can build its own security on the insecurity of other countries. Independent statehood is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people and cannot be traded. Israel has the right to establish a state, and Palestine also has the right to establish a state, and there should be no double standards on this. In the face of the historical injustice suffered by the Palestinian people for a long time, no one has an excuse to delay or a reason to be inactive. No country should have a veto on issues related to the future destiny of the Palestinian people.
The Palestinian issue has always been the core of the Middle East issue. Only by restoring justice to the Palestinian people and fully implementing the "two-state solution" can we completely break out of the vicious cycle of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and achieve lasting peace in the Middle East. Both Gaza and the West Bank are inseparable territories of Palestine, and any post-war governance and reconstruction arrangements should respect the wishes of the Palestinian people, safeguard the legitimate rights of the Palestinian nation, and truly implement the principle of "Palestinians governing Palestine." All parties should support the Gaza reconstruction plan approved by the emergency summit of Arab countries and the emergency ministerial meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and support the Palestinian National Authority to effectively administer all Palestinian territories, including Gaza and the West Bank.
Currently, international calls for supporting the "two-state solution" are unprecedentedly high, demonstrating the mainstream will of the international community. Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit (盖特) described the recent "recognition wave" as "historic" and helpful in peacefully resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the basis of the "two-state solution." All parties should seize the opportunity, gather more international consensus, form a more unified position, and, on the basis of recognizing the State of Palestine, support Palestine's becoming a full member of the United Nations, seek practical and feasible paths to promote the "two-state solution," and reject any unilateral actions that erode the foundation of the "two-state solution."
From recognizing the "two-state solution" to implementing the "two-state solution," the road is long and difficult. However, the scales of history will eventually tilt towards justice, and the seeds of peace will surely break through the soil of hatred. The international community should, with more firm determination, focus on revitalizing the political prospects for implementing the "two-state solution" and jointly promote a comprehensive, just, and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue as soon as possible.

"On September 3rd, I watched the military parade at Tiananmen Square (天安门广场) in Beijing (北京). This grand event was unforgettable, demonstrating to the world China's firm determination to follow the path of peaceful development, its strong will to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and its strong ability to safeguard world peace and tranquility. The 80,000 peace doves and 80,000 balloons that soared into the sky were symbols of peace and friendship," said Salavat Suleimanov, Chairman of the Khabarovsk Krai (哈巴罗夫斯克边疆区) Association for External Relations of Russia, in a recent exclusive interview with our reporter.
Invited by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (中国人民对外友协), Suleimanov came to China to participate in the commemorative activities for the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. During World War II, his father, Sheikh Suleimanov, was an infantryman in the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army and fought alongside the Chinese army and civilians in Northeast China.
In the battles against the Japanese army, the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army (中国东北抗日联军) Teaching Brigade (88th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army) played a unique role. Suleimanov introduced that on August 28 this year, in Khabarovsk Krai (哈巴罗夫斯克边疆区), the completion and opening ceremony of the memorial facility for the heroes of the 88th Independent Infantry Brigade of the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army was grandly held. This is one of a series of activities held by the local government to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
Suleimanov said that the Chinese people bravely resisted the Japanese aggressors and opened the main eastern battlefield of the World Anti-Fascist War. After bloody battles, the Chinese people won the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, not only defending their own country, but also making significant contributions to the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War.
"The Chinese battlefield started fighting fascism the earliest, lasted the longest, eliminated the most Japanese troops, and paid the greatest price, playing a decisive role in the complete destruction of the Japanese aggressors. The Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is an important part of the World Anti-Fascist War. History cannot be desecrated, the truth cannot be distorted, and memory cannot be erased," Suleimanov said.
Suleimanov said that Russia and China are jointly committed to promoting a correct view of the history of World War II, defending the achievements of the victory of World War II, and resolutely preventing any attempt to tamper with the history of World War II, belittle and obliterate the historical contributions of Russia and China in World War II, demonstrating a firm determination to defend international fairness and historical justice. Humanity should always remember the lessons of the two world wars and make every effort to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
"The Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has had great significance from the very beginning in saving human civilization and defending world peace," Suleimanov said. "Peace is a common cause of mankind and requires joint efforts and maintenance by all parties. Only when everyone cherishes peace and maintains peace can there be hope for peace."
Suleimanov believes that the United Nations is one of the most important achievements of the victory of World War II and is the cornerstone of the modern international relations system. Over the past 80 years, the United Nations has accumulated valuable experience in maintaining peace and security, promoting economic and social development, promoting the progress of human rights, and eliminating hunger and poverty. "In today's world, the United Nations is still a unique global international organization, a core mechanism for practicing multilateralism, and has made significant contributions to maintaining world peace and development. Firmly safeguarding the international system with the United Nations as its core is to jointly defend the achievements of the victory of World War II," Suleimanov said.
Suleimanov said: "President Xi Jinping (习近平) put forward global governance initiatives, which will help all parties work together to address global challenges and benefit the people of all countries. All countries in the world should abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, practice true multilateralism, and jointly create a better future."
Return to TopXinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 28th (Xinhua) - Wang Yi (王毅), member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, held talks with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui (崔善姬) in Beijing (北京) on the 28th.

North Korea is willing to work with China to promote North Korea-China relations to a new and higher level of development.
Return to TopXinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 28th (北京) – Zhao Leji (赵乐际), a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, conducted research in Beijing (北京) on September 28th. He emphasized the need to adhere to Xi Jinping's (习近平) Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as guidance, consciously uphold and implement the Party's comprehensive leadership, promote high-quality development of the work of the people's congresses, and better leverage the functions and roles of the people's congresses.
Zhao Leji (赵乐际) visited the People's Congress Representatives' Home (Legislative Liaison Station) in Nanmofang Township (南磨房乡人大代表之家（立法联络站）), the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center (北京人形机器人创新中心), and other locations to conduct research, engaging in in-depth exchanges with representatives and the public. He also conducted research at the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress on local legislative work and other matters, and held a symposium.
Zhao Leji (赵乐际) pointed out that upholding the Party's comprehensive leadership is a major political principle and fundamental political guarantee for doing a good job in the work of the people's congresses. It is necessary to continuously enhance political judgment, political understanding, and political execution, and to implement the support for the "Two Establishes" and the achievement of the "Two Safeguards" into practical work, maintaining a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core in thought, politics, and action. It is essential to adhere to the organic unity of the Party's leadership, the people's role as masters of the country, and the rule of law, closely focusing on the overall work of the Party and the country to plan and advance the work of the people's congresses, consciously and regularly aligning with the spirit of the Party Central Committee, and ensuring that the Party Central Committee's decisions and deployments are fully implemented in the work of the people's congresses.
Zhao Leji (赵乐际) emphasized that the people's congresses should thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping's (习近平) Thought on the Rule of Law, fulfilling their duties and making contributions to building a socialist rule of law country with a higher level. It is necessary to solidly promote scientific legislation, democratic legislation, and law-based legislation, focusing efforts on improving the quality of legislation and promoting a more scientific, complete, unified, and authoritative legal system. The implementation, supplementary, and exploratory functions of local legislation should be leveraged, highlighting local characteristics, solving practical problems, and consciously safeguarding the unity of the national rule of law. The power of supervision granted to the people's congresses by the Constitution and laws should be utilized well, implementing correct supervision, effective supervision, and law-based supervision. The newly formulated Law on Publicity and Education on the Rule of Law should be implemented, combining publicity and education on the rule of law with the work of the people's congresses and the practice of the rule of law, promoting the spirit of the rule of law, and telling good stories about the rule of law.
Zhao Leji (赵乐际) emphasized the need to practice whole-process people's democracy, ensuring that the people's rights to know, participate, express, and supervise are implemented in all aspects, links, and the entire process of the work of the people's congresses. It is important to maintain close ties with the people, conduct in-depth investigations and research, fully absorb public opinion, gather public wisdom, and consolidate the public opinion foundation of the work of the people's congresses. The characteristics and advantages of the people's congress representatives coming from the people and being rooted in the people should be leveraged, supporting and guaranteeing that the representatives perform their duties in accordance with the law, in an orderly manner, and in a standardized way, serving as a bridge between the Party and the state and the people.
Zhao Leji (赵乐际) pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the self-construction of the people's congresses in accordance with the requirements of the "four organs," earnestly study Volume V of "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China" (《习近平谈治国理政》), continuously strengthen theoretical arming and the accumulation of knowledge in various aspects, and continuously enhance the ability to perform duties. It is essential to adhere to seeking truth from facts, taking responsibility, and making progress, improving the long-term mechanism for the normalization of work style construction, and thoroughly implementing the spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulation.

How is China's transportation economy performing this year? With the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays approaching, what are the characteristics of road network operations? At a press conference held by the State Council Information Office (国新办) on September 28, relevant officials from the Ministry of Transport (交通运输部) introduced the relevant situation and responded to social concerns.
The Transportation Economy is Operating Generally Stably
At the press conference, Li Yang (李扬), Vice Minister of Transport (交通运输部副部长), introduced that the major transportation projects in the "14th Five-Year Plan" are generally progressing smoothly, and the construction of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network is being steadily promoted. "Since the beginning of this year, the transportation economy has been operating generally stably, with many major indicators maintaining growth, providing important support for effectively connecting production and consumption, promoting the circulation of regional factors, and ensuring the smooth flow of the national economy," said Li Yang (李扬).
The volume of commercial freight is growing steadily. From January to August, 38.06 billion tons of commercial freight were completed, an increase of 3.8% year-on-year. By mode of transport, the volume of freight transported by railway, highway, waterway, and civil aviation increased by 2.6%, 3.9%, 3.8%, and 14.5% year-on-year, respectively. 128.2 billion express delivery packages were completed, an increase of 17.8% year-on-year.
The throughput of port cargo is growing rapidly. From January to August, 12.03 billion tons of port cargo throughput were completed, an increase of 4.4% year-on-year, of which domestic and foreign trade throughput increased by 5.2% and 2.7% year-on-year, respectively. 230 million TEUs of container throughput were completed, an increase of 6.3% year-on-year, of which domestic and foreign trade container throughput increased by 3.2% and 8.4% year-on-year, respectively.
The flow of people across regions continues to increase. In the first eight months of this year, 45.55 billion passenger trips were completed across regions, an increase of 3.6% year-on-year. By mode of transport, railway and civil aviation passenger traffic increased by 6.7% and 5.3% year-on-year, respectively, and highway passenger traffic increased by 3.4% year-on-year.
"In the next step, we will make every effort to complete the '14th Five-Year Plan' and prepare the '15th Five-Year Plan', and continue to focus on connecting the network, supplementing the network, strengthening the chain, and turning more planned 'roadmaps' into concrete 'construction drawings', which will effectively promote the high-quality development of the national economy," said Li Yang (李扬).
The average daily cross-regional flow of people during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays is about 295 million.
The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays are approaching, and "travel" will become a high-frequency word.
"During this holiday, it is estimated that the total cross-regional flow of people in the whole society will reach 2.36 billion, with an average of about 295 million people per day, an increase of about 3.2% compared with the same period last year," said Li Yang (李扬). During the holiday, public travel will show the following characteristics:
Self-driving is the main mode of travel for the public. It is estimated that self-driving trips will reach 1.87 billion during this year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, accounting for nearly 80% of the total number of trips.
Medium- and long-distance travel will increase significantly. The "long holiday effect" will drive the rapid release of demand for medium- and long-distance travel, and there will be heavy traffic on expressways and popular scenic spot national and provincial roads in and out of key urban agglomerations such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀), the Yangtze River Delta (长三角), the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (粤港澳大湾区), and Chengdu-Chongqing (成渝).
Looking at railways, "During the holiday, the public's willingness to travel by train is strong. It is estimated that the national railways will send 219 million passengers, with an average of about 13,000 passenger trains operating per day, sending an average of 18.25 million passengers per day." Wu Dejin (吴德金), Deputy Director of the National Railway Administration (国家铁路局副局长), introduced that the railway department will promptly allocate tickets to stations with concentrated passenger flow to strive to ensure passengers' travel needs.
Looking at civil aviation, "Multiple passenger flows are superimposed on each other, and it is expected that civil aviation will usher in another peak in passenger flow after the summer transportation." Xiong Jie (熊杰), Chief Pilot of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (中国民航局总飞行师), said that the national civil aviation passenger traffic volume during this year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays may reach 19.2 million, setting a record high for the same period in history. The civil aviation department will strengthen the supply of capacity during key periods and key areas, and at the same time develop products such as air express lines and air-rail intermodal transport to enrich passenger choices.
During the festival, whether the operation of express delivery is smooth and orderly has attracted social attention. Liao Jinrong (廖进荣), Deputy Director of the State Post Bureau (国家邮政局副局长), introduced that the average daily express delivery volume in China in September has reached 557 million pieces, and the peak value exceeds 600 million pieces per day. Before and after the holiday, the U-shaped characteristics of the express delivery volume being "high at both ends and low in the middle" are more obvious. The postal administration department will urge enterprises to strengthen docking with e-commerce platforms to ensure the smooth operation of key distribution centers and main trunk lines, and the smooth and orderly operation of the postal express delivery terminal network.
Significant achievements have been made in the development of rural logistics.
As an important starting point for smoothing the urban-rural economic cycle, what is the development of rural logistics in China in recent years, and where will it focus on in the next step?
Liao Jinrong (廖进荣) introduced that, from the current situation, the integrated development of rural passenger, freight, and postal services in various places is progressing well, and significant achievements have been made in the development of rural logistics.
Data shows that, as of now, more than 1,500 county-level administrative regions across the country have carried out integrated rural passenger, freight, and postal services, opened more than 13,000 cooperative routes, built more than 145,000 comprehensive service stations, and transported more than 1 billion pieces of mail and express delivery through passenger, freight, and postal services annually.
More mail and express delivery are taking a "free ride" on rural passenger transport, and the delivery time of express delivery to villages is higher and the cost is lower. During this year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, more complete rural express delivery terminal service facilities will allow more rural people to enjoy convenient delivery services and help local agricultural products quickly enter the national market through the postal express delivery network.
"At present, in the process of integrated development of rural passenger, freight, and postal services, there are still problems such as insufficient coverage and depth, unsound cooperation mechanisms, and non-standard business practices." Liao Jinrong (廖进荣) introduced that, in the next step, it will guide various places to continue to improve the construction of county, township, and village-level service stations, standardize rural passenger, freight, and postal business practices, and expand passenger, freight, and postal + live broadcast e-commerce, rural tourism, rural industries, and other models to achieve sustainable development.

Early in the morning on September 28th, Guo Shaohua (郭绍华), a 71-year-old resident of Changshou District (长寿区), Chongqing (重庆), slung her shopping basket over her arm and took the earliest cable car to the "upper city" market to buy groceries.
The old urban area of Changshou (长寿) is built against the mountain, and locals divide it into the "upper city" and "lower city" according to the altitude. The cable car (see photo, taken by Chang Biluo (常碧罗), reporter of this newspaper) passes through the mountains, saving people a lot of time traveling between the upper and lower cities, and is the most convenient means of transportation. The cable car line is 282.1 meters long, with a vertical height of 110 meters and an average running slope of about 30 degrees.
The reporter came to the cable car station in Fengcheng Street (凤城街道), Changshou District (长寿区), and saw a queue already forming at the entrance, with vegetable farmers carrying baskets, people going to the early market, and young people who came all the way from the new urban area to check in... This cable car, which started operating in 1964, is the longest-running fish-belly rail ground cable car in China and a part of the life memories of the citizens of Changshou District (长寿区).
"You don't know, before the cable car stopped running, it took an extra half hour to get to the upper city," said Guo Shaohua (郭绍华).
In 2023, the cable car was once "shut down" due to problems such as chassis corrosion and aging braking system, and had to be repaired. When the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee Inspection Team (重庆市委巡视组) and the Changshou District Party Committee Inspection Team (长寿区委巡察组) conducted on-site visits, they heard the voices of the people, "When will the stopped cable car be repaired?" The District Party Committee Inspection Team (区委巡察组) gave full play to the advantages of the upper and lower linkage of inspections and patrols, and listed the cable car shutdown issue of public concern as a key supervision item. The investigation found that behind the slow progress of the cable car technical transformation, there were problems such as cross-departmental jurisdiction and unsmooth coordination mechanisms.
What to do? First solve the division of labor problem.
At a departmental coordination meeting, a staff member stated the difficulty: "The cable car repair involves multiple departments, who will take the lead? How to divide the work?"
"The cable car technical transformation involves the cable car operating company and the District Transportation Commission (区交通运输委); and because it is special equipment, it involves the District Market Supervision Bureau (区市场监管局); the renovation of the cable car station building belongs to the District Housing and Construction Commission (区住建委)." At the meeting, the District Party Committee Inspection Office (区委巡察办) organized everyone to clarify their responsibilities.
The Transportation Commission (交通运输委) took the lead in communicating with the cable car manufacturer to speed up production; the Market Supervision Bureau (市场监管局) guided the construction unit to standardize the acceptance process; the Fengcheng Street (凤城街道) mediated the impact on the people along the way during the construction period...
Such coordination meetings were held 5 times, clarifying the division of labor and reversing the construction period, and the cable car technical transformation entered the "fast lane."
Staff members of relevant functional departments were stationed at the construction site. "If there are any problems, solve them on the spot, and the efficiency has been greatly improved," said the relevant person in charge of the Changshou District Transportation Commission (长寿区交通运输委). A cable car special team was established to regularly publicize the project progress to the public; the District Market Supervision Bureau (区市场监管局) assigned a special person to take the initiative to connect and shorten the acceptance cycle; the District Housing and Construction Commission (区住建委) accelerated the station building renovation at the same time...
In September 2024, the cable car restarted. The braking system was upgraded, the car chassis was replaced, and the overall shock absorption was realized... The efficiency of the new cable car has increased by 40%.
The departments involved in the cable car renovation were not satisfied with responding to the problems, and took the initiative to think one step further for the people. "There are often people checking in here, so a viewing platform can be built at the upper station." "The branches on both sides should be pruned regularly to better ensure the operation of the cable car."...
Now, the cable car is still open to the public for free and is very popular.

On the autumnal equinox, the sun shines brightly, and the sky is clear and blue. On September 23, as the special plane carrying General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) slowly landed at Urumqi Tianshan International Airport (乌鲁木齐天山国际机场), the tarmac had already become a sea of flowers, red flags, and songs and dances.
It was the first time in the history of the Party and the country that the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中共中央), the President of the People's Republic of China (国家主席), and the Chairman of the Central Military Commission (中央军委) led a central delegation to Xinjiang (新疆) to attend celebrations for the anniversary of the establishment of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区). This fully reflects the great importance attached by the Party Central Committee and General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) to Xinjiang's (新疆) work and their deep concern for cadres and people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang (新疆).
Amidst the joyous music, the crowd rejoiced. Uygur (维吾尔族) people played hand drums, Kazakh (哈萨克族) people held up gift boxes, Mongolian (蒙古族) people waved hadas, Hui (回族) people held covered teacups, Kyrgyz (柯尔克孜族) people played komuz, and Han (汉族) people played big drums... A colorful land, and simple and enthusiastic people.
This was the fourth time General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) had come to Xinjiang (新疆) since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (党的十八大).
In previous visits, rural courtyards, community homes, verdant campuses, orchards and cotton fields, logistics port areas, ancient ruins, military regions and troops... Across the Tianshan Mountains (天山南北), he left behind his weary figure.
This time, he came to express warm congratulations and heartfelt wishes, and to draw a new chapter for socialist modernization in Xinjiang (新疆).
On the afternoon of the 23rd, he cordially met with representatives from all sectors of Xinjiang (新疆); on the 24th, he visited the thematic achievement exhibition celebrating the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区) in the morning, listened to the work reports of the Autonomous Region's Party Committee and government in the afternoon, and watched the literary and artistic gala celebrating the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Autonomous Region in the evening; on the morning of the 25th, he attended the celebration meeting for the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Autonomous Region... The intensive schedule was solely for more contact with people from all ethnic groups and all walks of life.
"At a new starting point, I hope that the comrades in the Autonomous Region and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (兵团) will continue their efforts and struggles to do a better job in all aspects and create a better tomorrow for Xinjiang (新疆)."
(I) Ten Thousand Melodies Celebrate a New World
——"Xinjiang's (新疆) appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes"
"Once the rooster crows, the world turns white; ten thousand melodies play in Khotan (于阗)."
At the entrance of the thematic achievement exhibition is a calligraphy work of Chairman Mao Zedong's (毛泽东) poem. The poem was written in 1950 when representatives of all ethnic groups from Xinjiang (新疆) and other places gathered in Beijing (北京) to celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (人民共和国). Mao Zedong (毛泽东) was inspired to write it.
The construction and development of Xinjiang (新疆) has always been inseparable from the care and support of the motherland.
On October 1, 1955, National Day, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区) was established. The front page of Xinjiang Daily (新疆日报) published a line of large characters: "Celebrate National Day! Celebrate the establishment of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区)!"
Seventy years of weathering wind and rain, with mountains and rivers as the zither and struggle as the strings, on one-sixth of the beautiful and vast land of the motherland, a magnificent movement of earth-shaking changes has been played.
"I am deeply impressed by these aspects." At the work report meeting of the Autonomous Region's Party Committee and government, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) reminisced about the past and spoke eloquently.
The situation of unity and stability has been consolidated and deepened: "People of all ethnic groups have extensive exchanges, interactions, and integration. Yesterday, I met with patriotic figures in the religious circles and grassroots religious work cadres. Everyone here lives in harmony."
Economic and social development has achieved a historic leap: "From no asphalt roads in Xinjiang (新疆) when it was peacefully liberated to all prefectures and cities entering the era of expressways, from a relatively closed inland area to a frontier of opening up to the outside world. In 2024, the regional GDP exceeded 2 trillion yuan, which is 204.3 times that of 1955."
People's well-being has been greatly improved: "In 2024, the per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents increased by 133.2 times and 162.3 times respectively compared with 1978. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (党的十八大), 3.06 million people of all ethnic groups have been lifted out of poverty as scheduled, 15 years of free education has been fully covered in southern Xinjiang (南疆), free health checkups have been realized for all people, and more than 10 million people of all ethnic groups have bid farewell to adobe houses and waterlogged dams, and have access to natural gas and tap water."
Significant achievements have been made in ecological civilization construction: "From sand advancing and people retreating to green advancing and sand retreating, the area of desertified land has ushered in a historical turning point from increase to decrease, and the excellent rate of surface water quality in national control sections has reached 95.9%."
The General Secretary said with great emotion: "These achievements are remarkable! On behalf of the Party Central Committee, I would like to express warm congratulations and sincere greetings to the cadres and people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang (新疆)."
When visiting the thematic achievement exhibition, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) stopped in front of a restored scene showing the relocation of people from poverty-stricken areas.
That was Darya Boyi Village (达里雅布依村), an ancient village in the hinterland of the Taklamakan Desert (塔克拉玛干沙漠), where villagers built "fence houses" with euphrates poplar, red willow, reeds, and silt.
"Is this kind of house very cold in winter?" the General Secretary asked.
"It's drafty and very cold in winter. Now everyone has moved into new houses." The person in charge of the Autonomous Region pointed to the restored scene of the new houses on the other side and replied. It was a modern two-story building with sofas and televisions in the living room, and water, electricity, and gas were all available.
"The changes are too great, it can be said to be a leap of a century. I remember when I went to Hotan (和田) in 2003, there were many adobe houses and donkey carts on the road. It is through comparison that we know that today's life did not fall from the sky, and it has not always been like this. It's an earth-shaking change!"
On the morning of the 25th, the Xinjiang People's Hall (新疆人民会堂) was filled with laughter and cheers. In front of the hall square were two huge red pomegranate landscape sculptures. People dressed in festive costumes gathered here from all directions to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Autonomous Region.
Accompanied by Wang Huning (王沪宁), a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协), and head of the central delegation, and Cai Qi (蔡奇), a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee (中央办公厅), General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) strode onto the rostrum and waved to the audience. Applause thundered and lasted for a long time.
The national anthem was sonorous and loud, and the national emblem shone brightly. The enthusiastic scene of the celebration meeting was transmitted to all parts of the country through live broadcast.
Li Ganjie (李干杰), a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, head of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee (中央统战部), and deputy head of the central delegation, read out the congratulatory message from the CPC Central Committee, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (全国人大常委会), the State Council (国务院), the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (全国政协), and the Central Military Commission (中央军委) on celebrating the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区).
Seventy years of vicissitudes are reflected in the intuitive data changes and even more vividly portrayed in the happy lives of the people.
Aimira Guli Abudu (艾米拉古丽·阿不都), the principal of a kindergarten in Kashgar (喀什地区), spoke at the meeting. "The kindergarten building where I am located has changed from a once-low adobe house to a standardized kindergarten." Her gratitude stems from her personal experience and what she has seen with her own eyes. Today, all rural preschool children in Xinjiang (新疆) can enjoy three years of free education, and the kindergarten building has become the most beautiful building in the countryside.
Gu Xiangfeng (谷祥峰), who has been driving a bus in Urumqi (乌鲁木齐市) for more than 30 years, sees the changes from the "small home" of the ten-meter carriage: "People of all ethnic groups chat with each other, help each other, young people take the initiative to give up their seats to the elderly, children greet each other, citizens learn each other's languages... Heartwarming stories are constantly being staged."
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) listened attentively and applauded them.
Entrusted by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平), the central delegation went to 14 prefectures, cities, and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (兵团) divisions and cities from the 25th to the 28th, going deep into rural areas, communities, enterprises, schools, hospitals, cultural and expo units, religious venues, etc., to bring the Party's care and the blessings of the people of the whole country to the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang (新疆); and presented the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区) with a congratulatory plaque inscribed by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平): "Forge a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and build a socialist modernized Xinjiang (新疆)."
Today's Xinjiang (新疆) is in the best development period in its history. From desolation to prosperity, from backwardness to progress, from poverty to affluence, from closure to opening up, through the magnificent scroll of time, people more deeply feel the unwavering original aspiration of the century-old party and more deeply recognize the key role of strong leadership and ideological guidance.
The territory is vast, where the people reside. The important affairs of the country are to defend the borders.
This is a review, planning, and deployment from a strategic and overall perspective: "Xinjiang's (新疆) work has a particularly important position in the overall work of the Party and the country, and it is related to the overall situation of building a strong country and national rejuvenation."
This is a leap in the understanding of the laws of border governance: Taking the Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang (新疆) in the new era as the guideline and soul for doing a good job in Xinjiang (新疆) in the new era, firmly grasping the overall goal of social stability and long-term stability, closely focusing on the main line of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, and unswervingly following the correct path of solving ethnic problems with Chinese characteristics.
On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Autonomous Region, the white paper "The Successful Practice of the Party's Strategy for Governing Xinjiang (新疆) in the New Era" was released.
Looking at the historical context and the practice of the times, the white paper profoundly points out: "The Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang (新疆) in the new era guides the modernization of the border governance system and governance capabilities to achieve a historic leap, and has found a correct path to coordinate development and security in border areas, solidly promote the Xinjiang (新疆) practice of Chinese-style modernization, and achieve the overall goal of social stability and long-term stability in Xinjiang (新疆)."
Looking back at the past road and looking forward to the road ahead.
From the two central Xinjiang (新疆) work symposiums to multiple inspections and research, from participating in the deliberations of the Xinjiang (新疆) delegation to the National People's Congress (全国两会) to making a series of important instructions and approvals... At the work report meeting of the Autonomous Region's Party Committee and government, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) reviewed the process of the Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang (新疆) in the new era being proposed and continuously enriched and developed, and said earnestly:
"We are conducting a review and sorting out in the hope that Xinjiang (新疆) will take the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Autonomous Region as a new starting point, fully and accurately implement the Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang (新疆) in the new era" "Concentrate our efforts, work persistently, and strive to build a united, harmonious, prosperous, affluent, civilized, progressive, peaceful, and happy socialist modernized Xinjiang (新疆) with a good ecological environment."
(II) Holding Each Other Tightly
——"Forge the Chinese heart and the Chinese soul"
On the afternoon of the 23rd, at the Xinjiang Yingbin Hotel (新疆迎宾馆) Conference Center, the Tianshan Hall (天山厅), Kunlun Hall (昆仑厅), and the Conference Hall were filled with waves of warm applause. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) met with representatives from relevant aspects of Xinjiang (新疆) in batches and took group photos with everyone.
Walking slowly from one end of the queue to the other, the General Secretary waved frequently and shook hands cordially with the comrades in the front row from time to time.
Among the representatives from all ethnic groups and all walks of life, Wei Deyou (魏德友) and Maimaitijiang Wumaier (买买提江·吾买尔), winners of the "July 1st Medal" ("七一勋章"), and Bayika Kailidibieke (巴依卡·凯力迪别克), the "People's Guardian" ("人民卫士"), and Burumahan Maurd (布茹玛汗·毛勒朵), the "People's Role Model" ("人民楷模"), stood in the first row, their medals shining brightly on their chests.
Seeing Bayika Kailidibieke (巴依卡·凯力迪别克), who has guarded the border for more than 70 years in three generations of his family, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) gently stroked the "People's Guardian" medal on his chest. Last September, at the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂) in Beijing (北京), the General Secretary pinned this heavy medal on his chest.
"How is your health?"
"I am in good health, thank you General Secretary, General Secretary, you have worked hard."
Burumahan Maurd (布茹玛汗·毛勒朵), the 83-year-old "People's Role Model" ("人民楷模"), wore a traditional Kyrgyz (柯尔克孜族) dress and gave the General Secretary a thumbs up: "Hello General Secretary, China (中国) is in my heart."
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) held her hand tightly. For more than 50 years, her hands have carved the word "China (中国)" on more than 100,000 stones of all sizes on the border line.
In the crowd, the General Secretary recognized Kurban Niyaz (库尔班·尼亚孜). This primary school principal from Aksu (阿克苏) has been promoting and spreading outstanding traditional Chinese culture for more than 20 years and has won many national honors.
"You have a lot of medals on your body." The General Secretary shook hands with him with a smile.
Kurban Niyaz (库尔班·尼亚孜) recounted them like treasures: "This is the Reform Pioneer Medal (改革先锋奖章), and there is also the 2019 National Model Individual for Ethnic Unity and Progress (全国民族团结进步模范个人) medal, which you personally awarded to me at that time."
With the country and the family engraved in their hearts, "the 56 ethnic groups united together are the Chinese nation community."
The four "commons" profoundly pointed out by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people: "People of all ethnic groups have a common home, which is China (中国); they all have a common identity, which is the Chinese nation; they all have a common name, which is Chinese; they all have a common dream, which is to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!"
In the thematic achievement exhibition, a video screen attracted the General Secretary's attention.
That was in July this year, when students participating in the "Motherland Love Chinese Trip" Xinjiang (新疆) Youth Summer Camp came to Tiananmen Square (天安门广场) in Beijing (北京) to watch the national flag raising ceremony. A little girl from Cele County (策勒县) in Hotan (和田) shed tears of excitement: "The five-star red flag is a bright red in the blue sky, and it is also a red that can never be erased in my heart."
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) stood quietly and watched, feeling very gratified: "That's a great saying! The children will definitely be promising in the future."
Nourishing Xinjiang (新疆) with culture and influencing people with culture. At the report meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) earnestly instructed: "Guide cadres and people of all ethnic groups to establish correct views on the country, history, ethnicity, culture, and religion, and forge the Chinese heart and the Chinese soul."
On the evening of the 24th, an autumn rain brought a strong chill. In the night, the Urumqi Cultural Center (乌鲁木齐文化中心) was outlined with red light and shadow in the shape of blooming snow lotus flowers. The six venues of this building complex surround the "stamen" cultural tower, with petals united in heart.
Inside the Grand Theater, it was warm and cozy. Bright music, gorgeous costumes, swirling dance steps, and moving songs merged into a sea of joy. The wonderful performance won warm applause from General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) and other leaders and the audience.
Jiang Nuri (江努日), the representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of "Manas" (《玛纳斯》) storytelling, also came. Three years ago, at the Xinjiang Museum (新疆博物馆), he and his performance team showed it to General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平).
When visiting the thematic achievement exhibition that morning, the General Secretary saw the group photo with them that year and asked with a smile: "Is that child still singing?" That was Jiang Nuri's (江努日) little apprentice, Yumita Li (玉米塔力).
"Yes, they will have a performance tonight."
Three years have passed, and Yumita Li (玉米塔力), who told the General Secretary that he "can only sing for 60 minutes continuously" at that time, has not only grown taller, but also sings better and can sing longer. The heroic epic is passionate and unrestrained, majestic and inspiring.
Culture is being inherited, and spirit is being passed on.
This is a relay between father and daughter——
The big screen of the literary and artistic gala froze on a precious group photo: On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party in 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) awarded Wei Deyou (魏德友) the highest honor in the Party, the "July 1st Medal" ("七一勋章"), at the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂).
Now, Wei Deyou's (魏德友) daughter, Wei Ping (魏萍), has taken over her father's binoculars and has also become a border guard.
Under the spotlight, Wei Ping (魏萍) revealed her heart: "This is the trust and entrustment of the Party and the people to our border guards of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang (新疆). We will guard the border of the motherland with our lives."
This is a relay of youth across generations——
Three years ago, in Shihezi City (石河子市), General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) walked into the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (新疆兵团) Military Reclamation Museum to relive the pioneering years of starting a business. Standing in front of the huge photo wall of "Eight Thousand Hunan Women Ascend Tianshan" ("八千湘女上天山"), the General Secretary was moved by the youthful faces that resolutely chose to take root in the border areas.
This time, when visiting the thematic achievement exhibition, seeing the photos of Premier Zhou Enlai (周恩来) visiting the youth supporting the border in the Shihezi (石河子) reclamation area, and seeing the dugout where the first generation of aid-Xinjiang (援疆) builders lived, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) said with emotion: "Their deeds are very inspiring" "With a call, how many people came here."
Taking root in the border areas, the song of youth is inherited in one continuous line. Before the May Fourth Youth Day this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) replied to the members of the Western Plan Volunteer Service Team for Border Support and Education at Xieyite Primary School (谢依特小学).
At the literary and artistic gala, the volunteers once again relived the warm and powerful message between the lines, and the oath of youth resounded throughout the theater: "'Shine in the places where the motherland and the people need it most, and contribute youth to the construction of Chinese-style modernization', let youth bloom in the most beautiful place in this motherland, facing the sun!"
(III) A Change of Concept Broadens the World
——"Continuously Create a Happy and Beautiful Life"
Steadily promoting high-quality development is the foundation for lasting peace and stability in Xinjiang.
Entering the new era, Xinjiang's strategic positioning in the overall national landscape is clearly defined, clarifying a clear path of bearing in mind the "greater interests of the country" and leveraging its unique advantages.
At the reporting meeting, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) instructed: "Build a golden passage for Eurasia and a bridgehead for opening to the west, construct a strategic fulcrum for the new development pattern, a national strategic guarantee base for energy and resources, an important supply base for high-quality agricultural and livestock products nationwide, and a strategic barrier for safeguarding national geopolitical security. We must anchor these 'five major strategic positions' entrusted by the central government."
With five ports connecting eight countries and a route linking Europe and Asia, standing in the Tianshan (天山) Mountains, both north and south, today, one gazes at a vast world. Xinjiang (新疆) carries the glory of the ancient Silk Road and embraces new opportunities of the era.
Urumqi (乌鲁木齐), the city furthest from the ocean in the world.
In 2014, when General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) inspected Xinjiang (新疆), he said with profound meaning: "If the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt is successful, Xinjiang (新疆) may become a prosperous center. Not to mention anything else, Urumqi (乌鲁木齐) is currently the largest city within a radius of 1,500 kilometers. What a sight it will be then?"
During his inspection in 2022, the General Secretary made a special trip to the Urumqi International Land Port Area (乌鲁木齐国际陆港区), connecting in real-time with the Alashankou Port (阿拉山口口岸) and Khorgas Port (霍尔果斯口岸). "This is no longer a remote area, but has become a core area, a hub area."
During this visit to the thematic achievement exhibition, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) listened to a briefing on Xinjiang's (新疆) expansion of opening up in front of a distribution map of ports in the autonomous region. Along the long border of more than 5,700 kilometers, ports are densely distributed.
Currently, Xinjiang (新疆) has 19 ports open to the outside world, including 16 land ports, ranking among the top in the country. In 2024, 16,400 China-Europe (Asia) freight trains passed through, maintaining more than 10,000 trains for five consecutive years.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) encouraged: "You have many ports. The next step is to make good use of these ports."
"Xinjiang (新疆) has advantages in terms of location, channels, opening up, and resources. We must accelerate the construction of the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt." When listening to the work report of the Autonomous Region Party Committee and the government, the General Secretary explained the profound considerations:
"What is the 'core area'? In the past, this was an inland remote area, but now it has become a hub of the Silk Road Economic Belt, especially radiating to Europe and Asia. There are great advantages here. Now this advantage has already emerged, and we must continue to expand this achievement."
The "scenery" is boundless, and electricity from Xinjiang (疆) is transmitted outwards, with a profound energy revolution unfolding in the magnificent mountains and rivers; wheat waves roll and fruits are fragrant, and the northwest granary has a heavy weight in the "Chinese rice bowl"; receiving more than 300 million tourists throughout the year, the beautiful Xinjiang (新疆) has become the "poetry and distant place" for more and more people; putting a "green scarf" on the world's second largest mobile desert, creating a miracle in the history of human desertification control...
Today, on the geographical framework of "Three Mountains and Two Basins," from the energy artery of West-East Gas Pipeline to the power network of the Around-Tarim Basin Project, from the transportation miracle connecting the Tianshan (天山) Mountains to the digital wave of the "Silk Road Computing Valley," Xinjiang (新疆) is standing up a new development backbone.
"To grasp development, we must proceed from reality, base ourselves on resource endowments and industrial foundations, and actively explore a path of high-quality development that suits our own characteristics."
While fully affirming Xinjiang's (新疆) development achievements, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) further pointed out the direction of focus: "We must adhere to developing characteristic and advantageous industries such as oil and gas, minerals, wind and solar power, grain, and fruits and vegetables, extend, supplement, and strengthen the chain in a targeted manner, and form competitive industrial clusters. We must strengthen the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, select the right direction and breakthrough points, and develop new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions."
The miracles in the north and south of the Tianshan (天山) Mountains are the result of the joint efforts of many people united as one, and the joint dedication of many people selflessly and generously.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) said: "In recent years, the Party Central Committee has issued special documents, increased investment, identified a number of key projects, organized large-scale aid to Xinjiang (新疆) actions, and integrated a large amount of resources and forces around promoting Xinjiang's (新疆) economic and social development." "This is considered from the overall national situation, fully reflecting the significant political advantages of our socialist system. This aspect will continue to be done in the future."
On the afternoon of the 23rd, in the conference center of the Xinjiang (新疆) Yingbin Hotel (迎宾馆), a neat and loud voice rang out: "Hello, General Secretary! The aid-Xinjiang (援疆) cadres report to you!"
"Aid to Xinjiang (援疆) is a political task, reflecting the superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics of **一方有事、八方支援** (yī fāng yǒu shì, bā fāng zhī yuán - "when trouble occurs in one place, help comes from all directions," the idea of mutual support and cooperation across the country) and concentrating efforts to accomplish big things." General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) said to everyone, "In Xinjiang (新疆), it is necessary to implement the Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang (新疆) in the new era. To promote the development of Xinjiang (新疆), it is necessary to reflect the unity of all ethnic groups, holding together tightly like pomegranate seeds, and it must be reflected on the road to prosperity and on the road to people's pursuit of a happy life, with no one left behind. Our aid-Xinjiang (援疆) work over the years has been fruitful. Xinjiang (新疆) has undergone such great changes, and the aid-Xinjiang (援疆) cadres have made indelible contributions."
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits and full of confidence, the General Secretary was very happy and encouraged: "Most of our aid-Xinjiang (援疆) cadres are young people. Aid-Xinjiang (援疆) work is a rich and colorful stroke in your life experience, and it is a very important test in this process. I wish you all the best!"
During this trip to Xinjiang (新疆), the scenes were moving.
When General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) traveled by vehicle from the airport to his residence and from his residence to the airport, crowds surged to both sides of the streets along the way.
Enthusiastic smiling faces, long arrays of waving red flags, mothers holding infants, children riding on their fathers' necks, Young Pioneers cheering, citizens pulling out banners "The Party is the Sun, I am a Flower" and "Dear General Secretary, Our Life is Yakexi (亚克西)," singing in unison "Without the Communist Party, there would be no New China" and "Singing of our dear motherland, from now on towards prosperity and strength"...
At Tianshan International Airport (天山国际机场), General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) walked up the boarding ladder, stopped at the door of the cabin, and waved goodbye to everyone.
The plane taxied along the runway and flew into the blue sky. The crowd seeing him off was immersed in the joy of happiness and was reluctant to leave for a long time.
The Tianshan Bogda Peak (天山博格达峰) at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters is covered with white snow. It has witnessed the glorious years of this land and will surely continue to witness new and greater miracles.
"A united Chinese nation of all ethnic groups will surely be **无往而不胜** (wú wǎng ér bù shèng - "invincible," to be victorious in every battle) and will surely have a bright future. Our second centenary goal will inevitably be achieved, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will inevitably arrive."

"Face reality, acknowledge the gap, closely follow, catch up," "Strive to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, the gap between regions, and the income gap"... The gap is both a deficiency and a potential. Where there is a gap, there is a direction for effort, and facing the gap provides the motivation to catch up. Starting today, this edition will launch a series of commentaries to seek countermeasures, explore opportunities, and increase potential from the "gap," gathering wisdom and strength to achieve high-quality development.

Coordinating the relationship between emerging industries and traditional industries can allow both old trees and new seedlings to thrive, ultimately forming a dense industrial forest.
During interviews at the grassroots level, it was discovered that many star enterprises in emerging industries have been incubated from traditional industries. For example, Anhui Xinhai High Conductivity (安徽鑫海高导), a conductor supplier for new energy vehicles, was originally engaged in the production of copper plate and strip. In recent years, the company has increased its independent research and development efforts, tackling high-end copper conductor materials, precision special steel, and other directions, realizing a conductor that can "go to heaven" and "enter the sea," integrating into multiple high-end manufacturing industrial chains.
The new landscape of enterprise development reflects the huge potential of traditional industries to nurture new quality productive forces. Developing new quality productive forces in accordance with local conditions is a grand systematic project, involving vast industrial fields and a wide range of business entities. Coordinating the relationship between emerging industries and traditional industries can allow both old trees and new seedlings to thrive, ultimately forming a dense industrial forest.
General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that "developing new quality productive forces does not mean ignoring or abandoning traditional industries." Traditional industries account for a high proportion of manufacturing and are the leading and advantageous industries in many places, the "means of livelihood." We must adhere to promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and not simply withdraw from them as "low-end industries." Because what is backward is not the traditional industry itself, but the products and the technology, processes, procedures, tools, materials, etc., behind them. Looking at several relationships dialectically and narrowing the gap while facing it squarely can accelerate the formation of new quality productive forces.
"High" and "low" are not absolute; accelerating upgrades can achieve the leap of the industrial chain. To promote the high-end development of low-end industries, we must improve total factor productivity through innovation, increase added value, reduce resource consumption, and the earlier innovation empowers, the more proactive we will be. Ningbo (宁波), Zhejiang (浙江) has a deep accumulation in the textile and apparel industry, but the local area did not rest on its laurels. Accelerating "intelligent transformation, digital transformation, and network connection" has spawned new business forms such as virtual sample garment trading. Transforming from "scale manufacturing" to "fashion intelligent manufacturing," the modern textile and apparel cluster around Hangzhou Bay (环杭州湾) has successfully been selected as a national advanced manufacturing cluster. It can be seen that by doing a good job in this big article of innovation, traditional industries can also be rejuvenated with new vitality.
"New" and "old" are not mutually exclusive; mutual support can create new growth points. In Jiangsu (江苏), Shenghong Holding Group Co., Ltd. (盛虹控股集团有限公司) captured the "carbon reduction" opportunity, from deeply cultivating petrochemical refining to entering green energy, breaking through the technology of photovoltaic-grade EVA film materials, breaking the foreign technology monopoly, and integrating into the raw material supply chain of the new energy industry. The original refining and chemical integration project not only provided low-cost raw materials but also provided a technical foundation for the polymerization process. It can be seen that "new" and "old" are not separated; "old" provides the foundation for "new," and "new" expands the space for "old." Upgrading in integration can form a more competitive and resilient industrial chain and supply chain.
"Pain" leads to "understanding"; finding the right focus in accordance with local conditions requires a better combination of an effective market and a promising government. Traditional industries have a large volume and a thick base, which easily leads to path dependence, and transformation and upgrading require scientific planning to find the right direction. Shanxi (山西), a major coal province, adheres to the "two-pronged approach" of green mining and clean utilization, promoting the coal industry to move towards green and new development. Small and micro enterprises are relatively concentrated in traditional industries, with limited R&D investment capabilities and low risk tolerance, requiring relevant departments and chain-leading enterprises to actively build platforms and add assistance. Hunan (湖南) has created a "big database of digital transformation intention enterprises" to promote the accelerated connection of scientific and technological innovation achievements with specific industries and industrial chains. Industrial upgrading is inevitably accompanied by "pain," but it must be eliminated with "understanding." The timely intervention of the "visible hand" is conducive to enterprises preventing risks, reducing costs, and strengthening confidence to start again.
Traditional industries are an important front for developing new quality productive forces, and their transformation and upgrading are not only related to the rise and fall of individual industries but also to the overall construction of a modern industrial system. Taking technological innovation as the guide, promoting the transformation and strengthening of traditional industries will continuously build new competitive advantages and release new development momentum.

The significance of popular science lies not only in disseminating scientific and technological knowledge itself, but also in building a bridge between cutting-edge technology and daily life, and cultivating a knowledge base for the development of new quality productive forces.
Zhejiang (浙江) has announced a new batch of provincial-level popular science experience halls (points) for new quality productive forces, covering various emerging technology fields; a large number of universities, research institutes, and technology companies are open to the public; the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) is organizing academicians and experts to go to the western regions to carry out popular science activities... September this year is the first National Science Popularization Month. Popular science allows more new technologies and new achievements to go from paper to the market and from exhibition halls to life, allowing people to personally feel how technological innovation stimulates new quality productive forces.
Building a strong country in science and technology and developing new quality productive forces cannot be separated from the improvement of the scientific literacy of the whole people. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Science popularization is an important basic work for achieving innovative development." From precision agriculture to intelligent manufacturing, from the low-altitude economy to smart healthcare, the endless stream of new economies and new business forms can only truly take root and achieve the transformation from "high-end" to "down-to-earth" if they are understood, mastered, and used by the general public through popular science, allowing more people to become "beneficiaries" from "onlookers." The significance of popular science lies not only in disseminating scientific and technological knowledge itself, but also in building a bridge between cutting-edge technology and daily life, and cultivating a knowledge base for the development of new quality productive forces.
Popular science focuses on popularization, but it is not "ordinary."
Today, the breadth, depth, speed, and precision of technological innovation are constantly expanding, and cutting-edge technological innovations are constantly challenging the limits of human imagination, promoting changes in people's thinking and lifestyles. The understanding of cutting-edge technology determines people's knowledge horizons, practical abilities, and innovation capabilities. Popular science can only make new quality productive forces perceptible and accessible if it pays more attention to combining with cutting-edge technology and emerging industries.
In the "Sharing the Future" series of popular science activities in Huairou Science City (怀柔科学城), Beijing (北京), visitors can learn about modern computers from ancient abacuses and assemble a delicate mechanical calculator model by hand in the "Little Engineer" thinking training workshop. Focusing on the forefront of science to carry out popular science can not only improve the scientific literacy required for the development of new quality productive forces, but also cultivate people's consumer demand for new supply, and ultimately better serve the construction of a strong country in science and technology in a high-level supply-demand balance.
Popular science is not only about popularizing scientific knowledge, but also about promoting the spirit of science.
At present, artificial intelligence technology is rapidly iterating, which is the core engine for promoting technological revolution and industrial transformation and cultivating new quality productive forces. The large-scale application of artificial intelligence has also brought new challenges, such as AI hallucinations, AI fraud, and data "poisoning." What popular science needs to do is to eliminate falsehoods and preserve truth, increase trust and dispel doubts.
One of the highlights of the Popular Science Law revised and passed in December 2024 is the emphasis on the importance of scientific ethics. In the past, due to the limitations of the times, popular science content tended to focus on knowledge and neglect spirit and ethics. Today, by improving the scientific spirit of the entire society through multi-level popular science, we can properly deal with the governance, rules, and ethical impacts brought about by cutting-edge innovations such as artificial intelligence, gene technology, and biomedicine, and lay a solid foundation for better promoting the development of new quality productive forces.
Since the "14th Five-Year Plan," China's popular science work has made considerable progress. In 2024, the proportion of Chinese citizens with scientific literacy reached 15.37%, completing the stage development goal for 2025 ahead of schedule, and the unbalanced situation of scientific literacy in various regions and groups has been significantly improved. Standing at a new starting point, addressing shortcomings and strengthening weaknesses, there is still much to be done in popular science work.
Today, the landing point of scientific and technological achievements is not only in laboratories and industrial parks, but also in fields, urban communities, and the daily lives of thousands of households. Popular science is not an optional embellishment, but a soil that nourishes technological innovation and cultivates new quality productive forces. With the continuous improvement of the scientific literacy of the whole people, more cutting-edge technologies will accelerate the transformation into new quality productive forces, gathering surging momentum to promote high-quality development.

"Military Elite" Guo Rugui (郭汝瑰), was an undercover general of our party who had been lurking within the Kuomintang for 18 years. However, his "appearance" almost exposed him. During the Huaihai Campaign, Du Yuming (杜聿明) revealed to Chiang Kai-shek (蒋介石) that Guo Rugui (郭汝瑰) was "so incorruptible that it was difficult to understand," not being interested in women or wealth, and even the sofa at his home was patched, "his words and deeds were very much like a Communist."
Coincidentally. Historian Fan Wenlan (范文澜) was also an underground party member and was once arrested on "suspicion of being a Communist." Jiang Menglin (蒋梦麟), the president of Peking University, pleaded with Chen Guofu (陈果夫), saying that he "has always been upright, cares for students, and lives a hard and simple life." Chen Guofu (陈果夫) said, "This alone is enough to show that Fan Wenlan (范文澜) is a Communist."
It can be seen that Communist Party members have an "appearance that they should have."
What is the "appearance that they should have"?
It is that once the fire of ideals and beliefs is ignited, it will never be extinguished. Yang Jingyu (杨靖宇), Zhao Shangzhi (赵尚志), Zuo Quan (左权), Peng Xuefeng (彭雪枫)... During the Anti-Japanese War, countless Communist Party members "preserved righteousness for the world and maintained complete integrity for the individual," supporting the iron and blood spine of the Chinese nation with their flesh and blood. It is precisely because of firm ideals and beliefs that they can be seen in ordinary times, stand up at critical moments, and dare to sacrifice themselves in times of crisis.
It is to take the people's yearning for a better life as the goal of struggle. Huang Wenxiu (黄文秀) walked out of the mountains through studying and selflessly returned to the mountains to help her fellow villagers get rid of poverty; Zhang Guimei (张桂梅) has been rooted in the border areas for decades, and even though she is plagued by illness, she continues to dedicate herself to education. On the hot land of practice in the new era, there are countless such Communist Party members. They have always worked tirelessly to improve the well-being of the people, and have built a solid foundation for our party's governance.
It is to be clear about great virtues, abide by public virtues, and be strict with private virtues, and to govern with virtue. Yang Shanzhou (杨善洲) paid for his own meals when going to the countryside and on business trips, and never used official vehicles for personal purposes; Yang Yegong (杨业功) always maintained integrity and self-discipline, and hung "No Gifts Allowed" on his door. "The way to govern is to cultivate oneself." Countless Communist Party members regard party spirit cultivation as a lifelong subject, repeatedly tempering and sublimating themselves, and continuously practicing it, living a clean and dedicated life, so as to brighten the political character of our party.
The members of the Communist Party of China stand among the broadest masses of the people, with the "appearance that they should have" as Chinese people: loving life, working hard, being sincere and simple, valuing affection and righteousness, integrating the "small self" into the "big self," and working together with hundreds of millions of people to work hard and unremittingly for a better life and national prosperity.
They are also "not ordinary," using the "small self" to achieve the "big self": playing an exemplary role in production, work, and study; facing difficulties and dangers, stepping forward and not being afraid of sacrifice to protect the interests of the country and the people; daring to break into "no-man's land" and daring to "be the first to eat crabs," opening up new ground for national development with tenacious struggle.
The Communist Party of China is the largest political party in the world, and a large party must have a large appearance. The large appearance is reflected in the "appearance that every Communist Party member should have."
Since March of this year, the entire party has been carrying out in a solid manner the study and education to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulation, and the vast number of party members and cadres have generally experienced a concentrated ideological tempering, party spirit training, and political practice, and have generally re-recognized, deepened, and acted on the party's self-revolution, and the party's work style has achieved an overall improvement. Many people have reflected that they have seen the most serious attitude of the Communists and the "appearance that party members should have."
When party members have an appearance, the party has strength. Promoting the normalization and long-term effectiveness of work style construction is a long-term guarantee for party members to maintain the "appearance they should have." Facing the complex and changing internal and external environment and the arduous and heavy tasks of reform and development, party members and cadres can continuously temper their party spirit and adhere to learning and self-cultivation until old age, so as to gather the mighty force for promoting the construction of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the nation by adhering to their original aspirations and winning the hearts of the people.
Strength comes from work style. Persistently changing the work style is also the "appearance that every party member should have." Let the light of faith shine brightly, and constantly strengthen the sense of purpose and responsibility. Every party member will have a better appearance, our party will have a great appearance, and our country will also have great strength!
Return to TopLong-distance travel to other places, short-distance trips to surrounding areas, and local immersive tours—as the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays approach, the popularity of tourism continues to rise, with autumn appreciation tours and red tourism particularly favored. Compared with traditional sightseeing tours, more and more tourists are choosing to slow down and travel in depth. Staying in homestays, eating farm meals, and experiencing folk customs, tourism is no longer limited to chasing scenery, but has become an interaction and integration with different cultures.
This is precisely:
Thousands of cliffs and valleys, the autumn air is high,
The layered forests are all dyed, surpassing the spring morning.
Cultural and tourism integration competes to innovate,
Entrusting emotions to mountains and rivers, full of pride.

Each time I come to court to observe AI-related cases, I am struck by this question: when someone uses AI to create something that allegedly infringes on copyright, should the AI or the person be held accountable?
The first national case involving "virtual digital humans" and the first national case involving infringement by a smart robot's online live broadcast both originated in Hangzhou (杭州), Zhejiang (浙江). In these "first national" cases, judges revealed to us the first truth of "human-machine co-creation": under China's (中国) current legal framework, AI has never been granted the status of "creator"; it is merely an "extension of human tools." AI is not a legal subject, so it is not qualified to bear legal responsibility. In other words, AI has no "autonomous responsibility," and all consequences of AI creation must ultimately be borne by humans.
AI technology innovation and intellectual property protection are like a seesaw, with one end connected to the leap in creative efficiency brought about by technological development, and the other end tied to the legitimate rights and interests of original creators. How to keep the seesaw balanced is a difficult problem that must be solved for the sustainable development of the creative industry.
The court's judgments have repeatedly drawn clear boundaries: if you use AI to create fakes, you will be held accountable as if "humans created fakes"; if you use AI to innovate, you will be protected as if "humans innovated." The core standard depends on whether humans have "original expression."
In a conversation with a creative designer, I saw the second truth of "human-machine co-creation" from the design drafts spread out on her desk: AI can build a creative framework, but it cannot fill the soul of thought. She is designing Eastern Zen-style coffee tables for a Chinese (中式) furniture brand. After using AI to modify 12 versions, the results are still unsatisfactory. "AI makes 'Zen' look soft and weak, but our Chinese furniture emphasizes 柔中带刚 (róu zhōng dài gāng - "softness containing strength," a balance of gentleness and firmness), and AI doesn't understand this spirit."
When chatting with relevant officials from the Zhejiang Provincial Market Supervision Bureau (浙江省市场监管局) about Zhejiang's (浙江) creation of data intellectual property registration measures, I encountered the third truth of "human-machine co-creation": the "ingredients" created by AI originate from humans, and the foundation is "human original rights." Just as cooking requires fresh ingredients, AI-generated content also relies on original human data such as text, images, and audio. To safeguard the bottom line of "human-machine co-creation," AI training must be more standardized.
To achieve this, we might as well use technology as a protective tool. Currently, many companies have tried to embed invisible watermarks in original works using digital watermark technology; blockchain storage technology can fix the creation time, author information, and content details of original content, so that even if the work is used for AI training, the source can be clarified, reducing the difficulty of proof for original creators.
"Human-machine co-creation" is not about who seizes whose dominance, but about humans using AI to expand creative boundaries. We must not only embrace the convenience that AI brings to creation, but also protect the soil of originality through various means such as legal improvement, institutional innovation, technical protection, and industry self-discipline.

That both enhances the creativity of "creating something from nothing" and strengthens the operational capability of "innovating from existing things" is the way to allow tourists to immerse themselves both physically and mentally, and promote more scenic spots to go from being temporarily popular to permanently successful.
Why can a scenic spot become popular without famous landscapes? How can a ticket that is valid for 3 days lead to increasing revenue? The author found the answer at the Wansui Mountain Martial Arts City (万岁山武侠城) in Kaifeng (开封), Henan (河南).
In the first half of this year, the number of visitors exceeded 10.24 million, an increase of approximately 239% year-on-year, with more than 60% being tourists from outside the province; comprehensive revenue exceeded 600 million yuan, an increase of 162% year-on-year. The Martial Arts City (武侠城) has achieved a double increase in visitor flow and revenue. The three transformations within it provide inspiration for the transformation of the cultural tourism industry.
Transforming the scenic spot from a "sightseeing place" into an "immersive venue." Without the advantage of famous mountains and rivers, and without a profound cultural heritage, the Martial Arts City (武侠城) has taken a different approach, making live-action performances its core competitiveness, breaking the development path of "relying on the mountain for a living."
During the day, large-scale performances gather popularity, interactive performances add fun, and small games such as guessing riddles and dancing competitions fill the gaps, so there is a show wherever you go. At night, music festivals are extremely popular, fairy-tale float parades take place, and blacksmith artisans wave their iron spoons, creating a scene of "a city that never sleeps with trees of fire and silver flowers." More than 1,000 situational performances every day weave a 24/7, all-scenario tour experience network for tourists. If the development and operation of a scenic spot is compared to an article, both creating solitary peaks and designing flowing streams, avoiding monotony and boredom, is the way to allow tourists to come with pleasure and return with satisfaction through saturated and immersive tour experiences.
Allowing the audience to advance from "browsers" to "participants." "Sleeping on the bus, taking pictures when getting off, and not knowing anything when asked at home," this joke points out the pain points of traditional cultural tourism. How to turn "outsiders" into "characters in the play" requires innovative gameplay.
The Martial Arts City (武侠城) introduced "silver notes" and "chapter-stamped script murder mysteries." Tourists can receive rewards and exchange gifts after answering questions and reciting poems, transforming a superficial sightseeing tour into a deep participation in story co-creation; thousands of non-player characters in the scenic spot take the initiative to greet tourists and play games, upgrading one-way viewing into an interactive experience. Staff introduced that some tourists repeatedly enter the park to collect all the stamps, and some people come back the next day specifically because they failed to participate in the interaction on the day. Compared to landscape features, emotional connections can better guide tourists from passive acceptance to active participation, becoming a "binder" between tourists and the scenic spot.
Upgrading revenue from "one-time" to "continuous." The decline of many scenic spots lies in over-reliance on the ticket economy. In fact, no matter how good the scenery is, if there is a lack of connotation excavation and reasonable development, it is difficult for tourists to become repeat customers. Without adopting a high-ticket price, high-consumption model, the Martial Arts City (武侠城) has created an "emotional mine," exploring a new path of low ticket prices and long stays.
Affordable ticket prices can objectively increase tourists' willingness to spend in the scenic spot. At the same time, developing diversified business formats and promoting rapid iteration of high-quality supply can better achieve a positive cycle of "attracting traffic—stabilizing traffic—returning traffic." In the Martial Arts City (武侠城), the proportion of secondary consumption has increased to 40%. Although there are already thousands of programs, it still maintains an annual content innovation rate of at least 30%, and adjusts scripts and updates performances every month based on feedback. Some viewers exclaimed: I have been here a few years ago, and this time it feels like a new scenic spot.
Nowadays, as people's spiritual and cultural needs continue to increase, theme parks are springing up everywhere, and ancient cities and towns are emerging one after another. The number of A-level tourist attractions across the country has increased to 15,700, with a county coverage rate of 93%. Under the heat wave, some scenic spots are facing the dilemma of "being well-received but not making money," and there are not a few cultural tourism projects with meager profits and losses. The reason is that there are more and more travel options, and many tourists are no longer satisfied with a fleeting "here I am" experience. If scenic spots do not break out of the old thinking of "emphasizing things and neglecting people," guarding historical sites but not knowing how to tell stories, holding on to green mountains and clear waters but not knowing how to create experiences, they will eventually be eliminated by the market.
Where is poetry and the distance? It is in the high mountains and distant waters, and also in the direction of the heart. The Beijing Shougang Park (北京首钢园) integrates industrial heritage with modern aesthetics, and the "steel rust belt" has been transformed into a "city show field"; "Only the Dream of the Red Chamber · Drama Fantasy City" (只有红楼梦·戏剧幻城) in Langfang (廊坊), Hebei (河北) arranges more than 800 minutes of drama performances, opening up the "Dream of the Red Chamber (红楼梦) world" inside and outside the book. That both enhances the creativity of "creating something from nothing" and strengthens the operational capability of "innovating from existing things" is the way to allow tourists to immerse themselves both physically and mentally, and promote more scenic spots to go from being temporarily popular to permanently successful.

Return to TopThe first national Science Popularization Month saw academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) and the Chinese Academy of Engineering (中国工程院) engaging in various science popularization activities for the public, either by visiting Party and government organs, schools, and enterprises, or by utilizing internet and other communication platforms. The academicians of the two academies are an important force in science popularization and play a significant role in this field. They explain complex topics in a simple and understandable manner, stimulating an interest in science and the exploration of the unknown throughout society. They innovate forms of communication, allowing the voice of science popularization to spread wider and further.
Recently, our reporter interviewed three academicians to see what wonderful stories they bring to the science popularization scene and to hear their thoughts on how to improve science popularization efforts.

Zheng Weimin (郑纬民), Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (中国工程院) and Professor at Tsinghua University (清华大学)
Science Popularization Methods Should Be Targeted
Our Reporter Wu Yue (吴月)
[Profile]
Zheng Weimin (郑纬民), born in 1946, is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (中国工程院) and a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University (清华大学). He has long been engaged in research and teaching in the fields of high-performance computer architecture, parallel algorithms and systems, storage systems, big data, and artificial intelligence processing platforms. He has won the first and second prizes of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, and the Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation Science and Technology Progress Award.
Q: Your daily research work is very busy. Why do you still frequently conduct science popularization lectures and do science popularization on the internet?
A: For academicians, participating in science popularization activities is one of our obligations and responsibilities. Doing science popularization is a very important thing, and it has many benefits—it can help the public better understand scientific knowledge, improve scientific literacy, and adapt to social development; it can stimulate scientific interest, cultivate more scientific and technological talents, and promote scientific and technological innovation; and it can also help correct errors and let people understand the real situation of scientific and technological development. In recent years, I have done science popularization around topics such as blockchain, cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence, and the results have been very good.
Q: Many people have listened to your science popularization lectures, including students and people from all walks of life. How do you conduct targeted science popularization for different groups of people?
A: In recent years, I have mainly done science popularization for three types of people: the first is for primary and middle school students. This year alone, I have carried out science popularization for teenagers in Ningbo (宁波), Zhejiang (浙江), Bazhong (巴中), Sichuan (四川), and other places. The children are very eager to know the latest scientific knowledge; the second is for college students. In recent years, I have been to forty or fifty universities to conduct science popularization lectures for college students of different majors; the third is for local government departments, enterprises, and so on. Many listeners are very interested in scientific knowledge. This science popularization content not only helps them understand the forefront of scientific and technological development, but also provides some scientific basis for future decision-making.
Science popularization methods should be targeted. For example, when doing science popularization for primary and middle school students, the interaction should be stronger; when doing science popularization for college students, their understanding of different disciplines should be expanded; when doing science popularization for enterprise personnel, the focus should be on the research fields they are most interested in to improve the practicality of science popularization.
Q: The knowledge in the field of computer science is updated very quickly. What requirements does this put forward for science popularization work?
A: Computer science itself is a constantly updating and developing discipline, and knowledge iterates very quickly. I am almost 80 years old, and I am constantly learning with the latest trends. At Tsinghua (清华), I come into contact with some young teachers and students almost every day, and I often exchange and discuss with everyone, which is also a process of learning for me.
I have also gained something from doing science popularization myself. Some of the content I talk about is my specialty, and some may not be directly related. The questions raised by netizens may involve various fields, and I will send the questions of netizens to the work group, and everyone will brainstorm and discuss them. When I encounter problems that I don't understand, I will also ask other teachers for advice. They popularize it to me, and then I answer everyone. So, science popularization is actually something that many researchers do together.
Shu Degan (舒德干), Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) and Professor at Northwest University (西北大学)
Science Popularization Can Take Many Forms
Our Reporter Gao Bing (高炳)
[Profile]
Shu Degan (舒德干), born in 1946, is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) and the curator of the Northwest University Museum (西北大学博物馆). He is engaged in the study of evolutionary paleontology. The "Kunming Fish Eye" (昆明鱼目), the world's first fish he discovered, is recognized as the founding ancestor of humans in the vertebrate family. He also proposed the hypothesis of "Three-Act Cambrian Explosion Constructing the First Animal Tree." He has won the first and second prizes of the National Natural Science Award.
Q: The Earth's first animal tree was discovered by Chinese scientists. Can you talk about the discovery process?
A: Driven by both genetic variation and natural selection, all life on Earth constitutes a phylogenetic tree of all things, that is, the tree of life. Biologists integrate multiple information of genetics, morphology, and development to construct various modern trees of life, including the modern three-part animal tree of the three major groups of basal animals, protostomes, and deuterostomes. Due to the long-term lack of reliable early fossil records, the academic community does not know when the original complete three-part animal tree, that is, the first animal tree, took shape and how it took shape.
Gratifyingly, paleontologists in China have conducted decades of exploration of the Chengjiang (澄江) soft-bodied structural fossils 520 million to 518 million years ago, and finally obtained reliable evidence for the formation of the first animal tree. The first animal tree is of extraordinary significance. It constitutes the third major milestone in the history of life on Earth after the origin of life/cells and the origin of eukaryotic life. It is the main watershed for the Earth to leap from a primitive two-pole ecosystem (algae producers and bacterial decomposers) to a complete three-pole ecosystem (adding animal consumers).
Q: What forms do you think science popularization needs to take? What is the significance of science popularization in the field of geology?
A: I started to get involved in science popularization in 1999. At that time, my team and I published two articles in the journal *Nature*, especially the paper on the discovery of the oldest vertebrate *Kunmingia* (昆明鱼) and *Haikouichthys* (海口鱼) in the Chengjiang Fauna (澄江动物群) 518 million years ago, which attracted international attention. At that time, many universities, research institutes, and primary and secondary schools in China invited me to give science popularization lectures. Later, I gradually realized that science popularization work is as important as scientific and technological innovation. For more than 20 years, we have organized the translation of Darwin's *The Origin of Species*, and regularly give science popularization lectures in universities, research institutes, and primary and secondary schools to spread scientific evolutionary thinking and popularize new advances in paleontology.
Science popularization can take many forms. Science popularization books, short videos, film and television, opera, and online and offline speeches are all good ways. The *Kunmingia* (昆明鱼) we discovered has entered the People's Education Edition junior high school biology textbook in the form of illustrations and texts, which is a good way to widely spread scientific knowledge.
Humans are the only conscious life on planet Earth. Using various science popularization methods to interpret the panoramic evolution process of the Earth from a fireball 4.6 billion years ago to a water ball, then to a bacterial ball, a fungal/plant ball, and finally to an animal planet, to appreciate the synergistic evolution mystery of the organic and inorganic worlds, and to trace the microscopic and macroscopic evolutionary trajectory of human ancestors, this can not only stimulate people's interest in scientific knowledge, but also help enhance the whole society's awareness and urgency of protecting the ecological environment.
Su Guohui (苏国辉), Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) and Professor at Jinan University (暨南大学)
The Significance of Science Popularization Is First to Ignite Interest
Our Reporter Jiang Xiaodan (姜晓丹)
[Profile]
Su Guohui (苏国辉), born in 1948, is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院) and the Dean of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Institute of Central Nervous System Regeneration at Jinan University (暨南大学粤港澳中枢神经再生研究院). He is engaged in the research on the development, plasticity, and regeneration of the mammalian visual system. In 1985, he first achieved long-distance axonal regeneration of retinal ganglion cells in adult mammals through peripheral nerve transplantation.
Q: Your team's main research direction is "nerve injury repair." What is the mechanism of "nerve injury repair"?
A: In recent years, our team has been carrying out scientific research around "nerve injury repair," focusing on solving the problem of "difficult regeneration" of clinical central nervous system injuries. We take the optic nerve in the central nervous system as the research object, and stimulate the regeneration ability of damaged optic nerves by changing the "microenvironment" of the optic nerve. At present, we have completed optic nerve regeneration experiments in animals, and the next step is to promote clinical trials.
Q: When did you start doing science popularization, and what are the main contents of science popularization?
A: I started doing science popularization about six or seven years ago. The content of science popularization is constantly adjusted with time and audience needs. In science popularization, I will share my scientific research experience with everyone and explain my research direction to primary and secondary school students. For example, I will talk about how I found a breakthrough from "repeated experiments" when I was a doctoral student, how to summarize experience from failures, and tell students that scientific research is not **一步登天** (yī bù dēng tiān - "one step to heaven," to reach the sky in a single bound; achieve instant success), but a process of suddenly encountering surprises in slow exploration. The important thing is to maintain curiosity and resilience.
In recent years, I have paid special attention to the mental health of young people. I have added "intervention programs" to actively regulate emotions in science popularization, such as exercise, light therapy, and social interaction. I often encourage students: set a small goal, walk and play ball every day, and your body and mind will get better.
Q: What do you think is the significance of doing science popularization? What are some unforgettable experiences?
A: The significance of science popularization is first to ignite interest. Many students feel that science has a sense of distance from the public, and it is "profound and difficult to understand." But by listening to the stories of scientists, they find that "scientists also encounter many difficulties" and "research results can help people," and they feel that science is not a formula in textbooks, but something that can solve practical problems. The second is to promote the spirit of scientists. I will tell students that scientific research is like climbing a mountain. 99% of the time is spent on repetition and failure, but at the moment of reaching the top, there will be a great sense of accomplishment.
A while ago, when I was doing science popularization at the Affiliated Primary School of South China Normal University (华南师大附小), a student asked: Exercise can improve grades. What is the scientific principle? Combining my own research, I explained to him that the neurotrophic factors secreted by muscles during exercise will enter the brain and improve learning efficiency. Seeing the children's eyes light up, I felt that science popularization was "alive." I will continue to do a good job in science popularization and "plant" scientific dreams in the hearts of more people.

From September 22nd to 26th, the first ASOSAI Youth Training Program was held in Nanjing (南京) and Shanghai (上海), with more than 90 young representatives from the Supreme Audit Institutions of 42 countries participating. The young representatives exchanged ideas on "strengthening audit skills" and "technology empowering audit development," and released the "International Initiative of ASOSAI Young Auditors on Strengthening Audit Skills and Technology Empowering Audit."
Hou Kai (侯凯), Auditor General of the National Audit Office of China (中国审计署), said that this youth training program is a concentrated display of the wisdom of Asian national audits and a vivid practice of China's audit philosophy actively integrating into and promoting global governance.
Representatives of Chinese auditors introduced the use of satellites to compare remote sensing images of the same area at different times, thereby discovering situations where cultivated land has been turned into factories. After listening to the sharing, Rila, an auditor from Indonesia, said: "This technology can be directly used for the transformation and protection audit of barren land in Indonesia."
Using artificial intelligence to automatically calibrate land data, using big data to accurately identify "rushed equity investments," using satellite remote sensing technology to quickly locate suspected plots... The real cases shared by Chinese auditors directly addressed the concerns of developing countries, drawing unanimous approval from the participants.
The relevant person in charge of the Electronic Data Audit Department of the National Audit Office of China (中国审计署电子数据审计司) stated that in recent years, the National Audit Office of China (中国审计署) has been actively and prudently exploring the field of "artificial intelligence + audit." China's audit practice shows that the focus of future audit is "human-machine collaboration, people-oriented." Based on professional judgment, auditors rely on artificial intelligence technology, and the quality and efficiency of audit work will take a more solid step.
The Chinese representatives introduced a case of discovering falsification of corporate financial data through small flaws, demonstrating that auditors must not only have the courage to make a final kick but also the perseverance to 持之以恒 (chí zhī yǐ héng - "persevere," to pursue something consistently). "The professional quality and professional ethics of Chinese auditors are admirable," exclaimed Akhmadjon, an auditor from Uzbekistan.
Faced with the complex and ever-changing development environment and economic activities, audit work must actively adapt to the new situation, respond to new challenges, and solve new problems; it must dare to investigate the truth, tell the truth, and report the facts, to ensure national security and public interests; it must undertake the mission of promoting the improvement of national governance in the new era by strengthening audit skills... In this training program, China's audit philosophy resonated widely.
Developing diversified artificial intelligence audit tools and focusing on professional skills and new technology training for auditors; focusing on pre-audit research on the audited entities and emphasizing the cultivation of auditors' professional sensitivity; widely applying artificial intelligence technology to the risk identification and early warning of the audited units... In this training program, foreign auditors shared the highlights and innovative practices of audit work in their respective countries, creating a strong atmosphere of mutual learning, mutual promotion, and win-win cooperation.
The relevant person in charge of the International Cooperation Department of the National Audit Office of China (中国审计署国际合作司) stated that the deep value of this training lies in building an equal and mutually beneficial "Asian Audit Youth Community." Relevant countries promote the collision and integration of diverse wisdom through exchanges and mutual learning, and build broader cooperation consensus.
The initiative formed by the young representatives is a direct presentation of the consensus, aiming to transform professional ethics, integrity awareness, innovative spirit, and knowledge sharing into common actions of Asian audit youth.
The creation of the ASOSAI Youth Training Program further improves the governance of ASOSAI and becomes a beneficial practice of actively promoting and practicing global governance initiatives in the audit field. As stated by Isma Yatun (亚顿), Chairman of the Audit Board of Indonesia: "This project focuses on the future development of Asian young auditors, which is conducive to improving their pioneering spirit, professional ability, and professional ethics, and is of great strategic significance to the development of the Asian audit cause."
Return to TopThis newspaper reports from Macau on September 28th (Reporter Fu Zimei (富子梅)) The "Rising Moon in the Greater Bay Area" 2025 Greater Bay Area Film and Music Gala was held in Macau (澳门) on the 28th. With the theme of "One World, One Love," it brought together filmmakers and musicians from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong, and Macau, using light and shadow and song to jointly create a new picture of Chinese-style modernization belonging to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area.
Stars shone brightly, and lights were dazzling. Singers of the older, middle, and younger generations performed on the same stage, and past memories, present passion, and future aspirations converged into a series of landscapes. On stage, the singing was like a surging tide, and under the stage, the fluorescent lights were like a starry sky. In the songs, one inspiring story after another conveyed the confidence, pride, and spirit of the Chinese people.
"Clouds of Hometown," "Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots," "Looking Back Again," "Walking Through the Coffee Shop," "Grandma's Penghu Bay," and "Every Day in My Life," one classic old song after another resounded in the ears, transcending time and space. Deep kinship, hometown feelings, and patriotism merged together, inspiring the passion and drive for inheritance and innovation. "The entire gala uses four chapters to respond to the new era while paying tribute to the classics, giving people the power to move forward," audience member Ms. Zhao praised.
"No matter where you are, music has its unique side, creating resonance between people." Chang Shilei (常石磊), music director of the "Rising Moon in the Greater Bay Area" 2025 Greater Bay Area Film and Music Gala, said with emotion that when the sound of music and the sound of waves converge in the Ou River (濠江), the distinct characteristics of Macau's (澳门) multicultural integration emerge vividly.
The volunteers of the 15th National Games sang "Your Future," bringing a full sense of dynamism and a healthy atmosphere, and also brought the gala to the finale of "Wishing You Peace," leaving people with lingering memories.
The gala was hosted by the Movie Channel Program Center, the Macau SAR (澳门特区) Government Cultural Affairs Bureau, Bauhinia Culture Group (紫荆文化集团), and Phoenix Satellite Television, marking the fourth time that the theme of "Rising Moon in the Greater Bay Area" has been sung in the Greater Bay Area.

In recent years, accompanied by discussions such as "all those sitting on the bus are free-riding elderly" and "slow speed, long waiting times," bus companies in some parts of the country have fallen into operational difficulties. Some bus companies, although reducing the number of trips and routes, slowing down vehicle renewal, and striving to reduce costs, still face problems such as losses and even wage arrears. How can bus companies get out of the current predicament? The reporter interviewed passengers, bus company负责人 (fù zé rén - "person in charge," head), experts and scholars to explore the reasons behind this and seek solutions.
The diversification of citizens' travel modes has led to a significant decline in bus passenger volume.
On July 11, a netizen from Baiyin City (白银市), Gansu (甘肃) Province, left a message on the "Leaders' Message Board" of People's Daily Online, saying, "The salaries of drivers of Baiyin Bus Company have not been paid normally for three consecutive months, and employees' housing provident fund and social security have not been paid on time."
Baiyin Public Transport Group Co., Ltd. (白银市公共交通集团有限责任公司) replied that due to the failure to provide policy-related loss subsidies and changes in the way people travel, the company's operations have fallen into serious difficulties, and it has had to take measures to delay the payment of wages. "At present, our company is actively ensuring the normal payment of wages to all employees... The company will resolve the issues of social insurance and housing provident fund in a unified manner after the government's various subsidy funds are in place."
The problems of Baiyin Bus Group (白银市公交集团) have a certain universality. "The entire bus industry is relatively difficult." Zhang Gang (张刚) (pseudonym) is the head of a bus company in a county in Yunnan (云南) Province. He introduced that although their company has not reached the point of wage arrears, it is also gritting its teeth and persevering. "Social security arrears within 3 months do not affect employees' enjoyment of benefits, and we basically pay at the critical point of the fourth month." He said that the difficulties faced by bus companies are similar, but the significant decline in passenger volume is a common problem. "We have decreased by 60% compared to 2019."
The statistical bulletin on the development of the transportation industry released by the Ministry of Transport shows that in 2019, the national urban public bus and trolleybus passenger volume was 69.176 billion passengers. It has decreased year by year since then, until it rebounded somewhat after 2022, reaching 38.670 billion passengers in 2024, only 56% of that in 2019. From 2019 to 2024, the proportion of public buses and trolleybuses in urban public passenger volume fell from 54% to 36%.
Where have the bus passengers gone? Chen Yanyan (陈艳艳), a professor at the School of Urban Transportation of Beijing University of Technology (北京工业大学), said that the formation of a subway network has diverted stable passenger flow over medium and long distances; electric bicycles and private cars have encroached on the short-distance and commuting market of buses due to their flexibility, privacy, and door-to-door advantages.
"Bus passenger transport has been declining by 2.5% every year since 2014." Chen Chaohua (陈超华), Deputy Secretary-General of the China Urban Public Transport Association (中国城市公共交通协会) and President of People's Public Transport Magazine, believes that this is an inevitable result of economic development. Urban subway networks are becoming more complete, and more people are choosing to travel by subway. With better economic conditions, some bus passengers are buying private cars and taking online car-hailing services. Unfortunately, some bus companies have not realized this trend and have failed to plan ahead and respond accordingly.
Some readers said that people's requirements for travel quality are getting higher and higher, and bus services have failed to keep up with the changes. "The speed is slow, the vehicle interval is long, and it is impossible to guarantee travel time." Chen (陈) from Daxing District (大兴区), Beijing (北京), said that as a result, he slowly stopped taking the bus. Hu Yechang (胡业昌), a reader from Hengshui City (衡水市), Hebei (河北) Province, said that bus companies should work hard to make it more convenient to take the bus, and more people will take it.
The public welfare attribute and the failure of some local subsidies to be in place have increased the burden on bus companies.
The decline in passenger volume means a decrease in income. Jian Jun (简俊), Chairman of Enshi City Public Automobile Co., Ltd. (恩施市公共汽车有限责任公司), introduced that their company's daily income per bus has dropped from nearly 1,000 yuan in 2019 to less than 560 yuan currently. In addition to the operating losses caused by the loss of passenger flow, bus companies also face some policy-related losses.
"Today I took the bus, and I felt that half of the passengers in the carriage were elderly people." A netizen from Hefei City (合肥市), Anhui (安徽) Province, said on social media. The large number of elderly passengers on buses cannot be entirely attributed to the free bus policy for the elderly. Zhang (张), a reader from Fuxin City (阜新市), Liaoning (辽宁) Province, said that many elderly people do not know how to take online car-hailing services, ride shared bicycles, or drive private cars, so they naturally choose to take the bus for daily travel.
Chen Yanyan (陈艳艳) believes that as a public service product provided by the government, buses guarantee the basic travel of all citizens, especially special groups such as the elderly and students, at affordable fares, reflecting the city's warmth and inclusiveness. In addition, buses connect residential areas, commercial points, and transportation hubs, effectively serving areas not covered by rail transit.
The public welfare attribute means that it may be impossible to make ends meet. Jian Jun (简俊) introduced that in their company's passenger flow, elderly free passengers account for about 16% to 17%. "Adding active and retired military personnel, people with disabilities, and voluntary blood donors, the free group is close to about 25% of the total passengers." There are also some unpopular routes, where losses are the norm. "The special lines we opened for the funeral service center and the airport have a daily income of less than 150 yuan, less than 1/3 of the average daily income."
Chen Chaohua (陈超华) said, "Regular bus routes are generally in accordance with government requirements to ensure basic public travel services, resulting in an inversion of bus revenue and costs, which requires government subsidies. This is also the case in other countries."
In October 2023, the Ministry of Transport (交通运输部), the National Development and Reform Commission (国家发展和改革委员会), the Ministry of Public Security (公安部), the Ministry of Finance (财政部) and other 9 departments issued the "Several Opinions on Promoting the Healthy and Sustainable Development of Urban Public Transport," pointing out: "For policy-related losses caused by the implementation of low fares, fare reductions and exemptions, operation of unpopular routes, guarantee of major events, disaster relief and other mandatory tasks, local finance should provide timely and appropriate subsidies and compensation." However, some places are still experiencing tight finances, and subsidies to bus companies are not timely or in place.
Zhang Gang (张刚) introduced that the free policy for the elderly, which started in 2007, originally stipulated that the local government would bear 70% and the bus company would bear 30%. Due to the aging of the population and the failure of government subsidies to be in place, the company now bears about 70% and the government subsidizes 30%. "Before 2019, the central government provided more operating subsidies for new energy vehicles for bus companies. After 2019, it was changed to urban transportation development reward funds, and the amount was reduced by about 70%." The contradiction of insufficient local subsidies is even more prominent.
At the same time, bus companies generally face the problem of an aging workforce. Jian Jun (简俊) introduced that the proportion of employees over 45 years old in their company exceeds 70%. Zhang Gang (张刚) said that because the salaries of bus companies are not as good as those in other industries, it is difficult to recruit new people, and the number of people has been reduced by half. Currently, the average age of drivers is around 52 years old.
The vehicle situation is also not optimistic. "New energy vehicles generally need to be updated after 10 years of use, and batteries can be replaced after 8 years of use to extend the service life by 5 years." Zhang Gang (张刚) said that 2015 and 2016 were the peak years for bus companies to replace new energy vehicles. "The operating conditions have not been good in recent years, and by 2027, our company may not be able to update vehicles."
Other places have similar situations. Recently, in response to netizens' messages, Shanghai Jiading Public Transportation Co., Ltd. (上海嘉定公共交通有限公司) revealed that Jiading Bus (嘉定公交) scrapped 93 vehicles in 2024 and did not update them that year; in 2025, it plans to scrap 349 vehicles and update 284 new vehicles, and the total number of vehicles at the end of the year is expected to be 616. According to this estimate, the company's vehicles have decreased by 20% in two years.
Many city buses have adjusted routes and reduced the number of trips, leading to longer waiting times, exacerbating passenger loss, and forming a vicious circle. Some bus companies have also changed "the original two shifts in the morning and evening to one driver working from 6 am to 9 pm," increasing safety hazards.
"It's better to ask for policies than for money" to enhance the blood-making function of bus companies.
How should we view the current predicament of bus companies? Chen Yanyan (陈艳艳) believes that a fully functional city must not be without buses. "If it is absent, it will directly lead to the inconvenience of travel for a large number of car-free families, and some citizens will turn to private transportation, exacerbating road congestion and environmental pollution, and the social cost will be higher."
The "Urban Public Transport Regulations," which came into effect in December 2024, propose to encourage and guide the public to give priority to public transport as a motorized mode of travel, "adhere to the people-centered approach, adhere to the public welfare attribute of urban public transport, implement the strategy of giving priority to the development of urban public transport, and build a safe, convenient, efficient, green, and economical urban public transport system."
Chen Yanyan (陈艳艳) believes that to implement bus priority, there must be stable financial investment and a scientific subsidy mechanism for bus companies to ensure bus road rights. For bus companies, ensuring high-quality bus services and enhancing competitiveness is the fundamental way to survive. She suggests improving passenger flow by connecting with other modes of transportation to further facilitate travel. At the same time, launch diversified services such as customized buses, commuter express lines, and community micro-circulation to accurately meet the travel needs of different groups.
In this regard, some readers have made suggestions. Zheng Jiangang (郑建钢), a reader from Ningbo City (宁波市), Zhejiang (浙江) Province, suggested that special bus lines can be opened during major holidays; Zhang Junjie (张俊杰), a reader from Laohekou City (老河口市), Hubei (湖北) Province, suggested adding bay-style bus stops at school gates to facilitate students' travel to and from school. Many cities are actively exploring. Jian Jun (简俊) introduced that since last year, their company has opened a "school escort bus" for a middle school located on the city's main road. "With the support of government departments such as education, traffic police, and urban management, before school is over in the evening, the bus directly enters the campus, plans routes according to students' home addresses, and sends more than 1,300 students home." This not only alleviates road congestion and reduces the burden on parents, but also increases bus revenue. This business is currently being expanded.
"Waiting, relying, and asking are no longer suitable for the development of the industry. Many bus companies are finding ways to reduce costs and increase revenue." Chen Chaohua (陈超华) said that the government should, within the feasible range of the public budget, make up for the policy-related losses of bus companies through financial and policy support.
In the current situation of tight finances, "it's better to ask for policies than for money." Jian Jun (简俊) believes that improving the blood-making function of bus companies through government support policies has a long-term effect. He introduced that they have established 3 subsidiaries in the past two years. "One is to establish a vehicle maintenance enterprise to provide external services, which has been shortlisted for the government vehicle maintenance platform. The second is to establish a tourism service company, which serves the tourism market and increases revenue through the 'bus + tourism' model. The third is to establish a commercial and trade company, which mainly operates selenium-rich agricultural products, employee health care, and other businesses. At present, they are all in the initial stage, and I believe they will get better and better." Similarly, bus companies in Xiangyang City (襄阳市), Hubei (湖北) Province, have also started vehicle maintenance and other businesses.
According to the characteristics of the city, Chen Chaohua (陈超华) suggested improving quality and efficiency around the advantages of buses: first, open the charging piles in bus stations to social vehicles, and coordinate other charging piles to form a network to increase the revenue of bus companies; second, allow buses to use idle stations to link with express delivery companies to form a logistics network. At present, Zhengzhou (郑州) in Henan (河南) and Nanjing (南京) in Jiangsu (江苏) and other places have launched explorations on "bus + express delivery," which reduces logistics costs and increases the revenue of bus companies.
Of course, it is also necessary to adapt to local conditions. Zhang Gang (张刚) said that provincial capitals have large logistics demands, "but county towns have small areas, and logistics companies directly find a small truck to save costs, so it is difficult for bus companies to replicate." At the same time, as a private enterprise, Zhang Gang (张刚) hopes that they can receive the same care as state-owned enterprises in terms of subsidies and support.
In December 2023, the Ministry of Transport (交通运输部) and other departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Integrated Development of Rural Passenger, Freight, and Postal Services," proposing to create forms of integrated development of rural passenger, freight, and postal services that are adapted to local conditions. The "Urban Public Transport Regulations" also propose: The city people's government shall, in accordance with the needs of urban-rural integration and coordinated regional development, coordinate and promote the integrated development of public transport between urban and rural areas and between regions.
Chen Chaohua (陈超华) said, "At present, many rural express deliveries are stuck in the 'last mile.' Bus companies have a large service coverage. If urban and rural public transport are integrated, buses traveling to and from rural areas can carry both passengers and goods, which can not only assist express delivery into the village, but also transport the village's characteristic agricultural products to the city, helping rural economic development." Of course, this requires corresponding breakthroughs at the legal level. In addition, bus companies should make early plans for intelligent construction according to the actual situation, including not only autonomous driving, but also enabling more refined operations and more punctual and faster buses through digital empowerment. "As an important part of urban travel, buses should think about their positioning and development from the perspective of urban development." Chen Chaohua (陈超华) said.

Return to TopOn August 25th, the "Letters from Readers" section published my letter, "Beware of 'Black Intermediaries' Deceiving Workers," reflecting my experience of being deceived by a labor intermediary and failing to get results from complaints. This aroused great attention from the Suzhou (苏州市) Labor Security Supervision Brigade of Jiangsu (江苏) Province. They, in conjunction with the Suzhou (苏州市) police, found the labor dispatch company. After the labor dispatch company learned of this matter, they actively communicated with me and finally compensated me 10,000 yuan. I am very grateful to the Suzhou (苏州市) Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and the Public Security Bureau for their joint efforts in helping me recover my wages.
My matter has been resolved satisfactorily, but the fight against "black labor intermediaries" should be a long-term effort, forming a normalized mechanism to fully protect the rights and interests of workers.

Background Information:
At the end of May last year, reader Zhang Liangjun (张亮军) met a labor intermediary on a certain direct recruitment website. The intermediary introduced him to a job at a new energy appliance company in Suzhou (苏州市), Jiangsu (江苏) Province, with a wage of 26 yuan per hour. After he arrived in Suzhou (苏州市), he and 21 other people were arranged to take a bus to a furniture factory in Chuzhou (滁州市), Anhui (安徽) Province, and the salary became 4,500 yuan per month, equivalent to 16.6 yuan per hour. Zhang Liangjun (张亮军) said that he initially heard that he could become a regular employee after working for 4 months. After insisting for 4 months, the labor intermediary said that he had to work for another 2 months. Zhang Liangjun (张亮军) reflected his experience to the "Letters from Readers" section, hoping to draw attention to the issue of labor intermediaries.
Return to TopIn the honeysuckle characteristic industrial park of Zhongbao Village, Qingyun Town, Bazhong City, Sichuan (四川巴中市), nearly 300 mu of honeysuckle have been planted. To increase honeysuckle production, the park has constructed climbing nets to solve the problem of honeysuckle climbing and falling. However, the color of the climbing nets is light and difficult to identify (see picture), making it easy for animals to get stuck. As soon as the climbing nets were erected, some villagers' unpenned livestock were caught. For example, recently, I found dead cats and dogs stuck in the climbing nets. The honeysuckle industrial park is adjacent to the forest, and the impact of the climbing nets on wild animals is conceivable.
It is recommended to dismantle the current climbing nets as soon as possible and replace them with climbing nets that are more visible and easier to identify, to ensure honeysuckle production and minimize the impact on animals.

Return to TopBe vigilant against illegal fundraising in the name of charity.
Recently, I encountered an organized "ground promotion" fundraising activity by an online platform in crowded places such as farmers' markets in counties and rural areas. The organization's personnel used small gifts such as small stools as bait, and used the public's personal mobile phones to send preset fundraising rhetoric and fundraising links to hundreds of chat objects through WeChat's "group sending assistant" without authorization, and posted them on Moments. Some WeChat friends clicked on the link and donated money, and some links accumulated nearly a thousand yuan in donations.
In order to improve the success rate, the organization mostly chooses young people with beautiful appearances to lobby, frequently using moral kidnapping, emotional pressure and other methods in the promotion, and also uses the on-site onlookers atmosphere to force the target to cooperate in forwarding. Its fundraising page is crowned with the words "officially designated fundraising platform," or displays forged documents to gain trust. After verification by the author, the platform is only a filed personal help network service platform, and is suspected of false advertising and illegal fundraising in the name of officialdom. It is recommended that relevant departments pay attention to and deal with such problems in a timely manner to prevent the public from being deceived.

Rural radio publicity and popular science should do a good job of "translation" and transformation.
When I returned to my rural hometown on the weekend, I heard the village radio broadcasting agricultural science information to the villagers, with professional announcers reading news drafts. However, the announcer spoke quickly, and the sound effect of the radio was also average. I listened carefully for a while, but I heard it very vaguely and didn't know what it was about.
Now there are many elderly people in rural areas, and what they usually hear and say are dialects. Those laws and regulations or popular science information related to their rights and interests, even if they are in their hands, may not be fully understood, and it is even more difficult to understand just by listening to the radio. Publicity and promotion work should pay attention to skills, and appropriate strategies must be adopted for the target audience in order to achieve good results. Simply reading from the book without adapting will only become a formality.
Rural radio should use easy-to-understand methods so that villagers can understand and easily accept it. It is recommended that village cadres with higher education levels in the village "translate" those agricultural laws and regulations and broadcast and explain them to the villagers. For content that is difficult to promote through radio, it should be promoted through village meetings or door-to-door visits. Only in this way can better publicity results be achieved, and the Party's various policies benefiting agriculture can be truthfully conveyed, winning the recognition and support of the masses.

In recent years, "electronic blackboards" have been rapidly popularized in primary and secondary schools across the country due to their advantages of convenient demonstration, rich interaction, and less dust pollution. Data shows that among the information technology equipment installed in schools, the popularity rate of electronic blackboards has exceeded that of computers and document cameras. At the same time, many primary and secondary school students and parents have reported problems such as poor quality, excessive use time, and non-standard use of electronic blackboards, leading to decreased student vision. Some people are calling for the abolition of electronic blackboards and a return to traditional blackboards.
At a parents' meeting, Ms. Li from Nanning (南宁市), Guangxi (广西) Province, sat in the back row of the classroom. "The distance from the back row of the classroom to the podium is about seven or eight meters, and the size of the electronic blackboard is about 80 cm by 120 cm. My uncorrected vision is 5.0, and it is difficult for me to see the teacher's courseware. This affects the children's vision health and also affects the quality of their learning," said Ms. Li.
Some electronic blackboards have poor screen resolution and may also experience screen flickering or black screens. A netizen from Jianhua District (建华区), Qiqihar (齐齐哈尔市), Heilongjiang (黑龙江) Province, reported on the "Leaders' Message Board" of People's Daily Online that the electronic blackboards in two classes of a local primary school were broken, blurry, and unclear, affecting the teacher's teaching quality and harming the children's eyes. Parents have reported this multiple times, but they have not been replaced. Some parents also reported that students sitting by the window experience glare on the screen.
In response, the Education Bureau of Jianhua District (建华区), Qiqihar (齐齐哈尔市), stated that the school is equipped with 20 Honghe (鸿河) electronic whiteboards, and some classes use old-fashioned whiteboards. The school uses LCD projection for renovation, which is slightly inferior to the Honghe (鸿河) electronic whiteboards. The District Education Bureau has a procurement plan, but it is waiting for funds to be in place.
Wang Yiming (王一茗), a research assistant at the Institute of Social Governance and Development of Tsinghua University (清华大学), conducted a survey on the use of electronic blackboards in primary and secondary schools in Beijing (北京) and Hebei (河北) and found that because most electronic blackboards are embedded integrated devices, they are not easy to disassemble, replace, or repair, resulting in some electronic blackboards with display problems operating "with illness," which can easily damage students' vision.
The most frequently reported problem by students and parents is the excessive use time of electronic blackboards. According to the "Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents Implementation Plan" issued by the Ministry of Education (教育部) and other 8 departments in 2018, the duration of schools using electronic products for teaching should in principle not exceed 30% of the total teaching time. In actual operation, exceeding the time limit is not uncommon. Sun (孙), a primary school student in Jinan (济南市), Shandong (山东) Province, is 10 years old this year, but has been nearsighted for three or four years. He said, "Currently, except for math class, other courses basically use electronic screens throughout the entire process. Staring at them for a long time makes my eyes sore."
Some electronic blackboards are also used as televisions. A parent of a primary school student in Changsha (长沙市), Hunan (湖南) Province, reported to reporters, "Sometimes physical education classes at my daughter's primary school are held indoors. The physical education teacher plays cartoons for the students to watch. The students are happy, and the teacher is also relaxed." Some parents also reported that teachers use electronic blackboards to play interesting audio and video for students during breaks, and the use time of electronic blackboards may far exceed the prescribed teaching time.
In addition to objective factors such as equipment damage and excessive use time, many readers also reported improper use of electronic blackboards, such as too small font sizes in courseware, too many words, and teachers switching courseware too quickly. One student reported, "The teacher switches courseware very quickly. I haven't had time to write down the key points, and the page has already jumped away."
In response, Wang Jing (汪静), the person in charge of the primary school section of Furen School (辅仁学校) in Jinan (济南市), Shandong (山东) Province, said that information technology teaching greatly promotes the improvement of classroom efficiency and teaching quality. "The courseware prepared by teachers for class is teaching aids. The school has restrictions on the number of PPT slides used in each class, and there are also requirements for PPT backgrounds, font sizes, and colors. At the same time, the teacher will still have structured blackboard writing in each class." Of course, Wang Jing (汪静) also admitted that it cannot be ruled out that some school teachers have non-standard phenomena when using electronic equipment. "What needs to be done is to standardize the use standards, rather than go back to the original point."
Hu Xiang (胡翔), an associate professor at the School of Education of Renmin University of China (中国人民大学), believes that individual vision is affected by complex factors such as physiology, environment, and behavior, and it is not possible to simply attribute children's myopia to the use of electronic blackboards. Using electronic blackboards has many positive effects on student learning, such as enhancing interactive learning experiences, calling up rich multimedia resources, tracing back learning processes, and improving teaching processes. "If electronic blackboards are to play a better role, the key lies in how teachers can organically integrate the functions that technology can achieve with teaching content and teaching methods, and effectively exert the role of technology in achieving teaching goals," said Hu Xiang (胡翔).
"However, improper use of electronic blackboards will increase the rate of myopia in children. Schools should reduce the impact of electronic blackboard use on vision by reducing the duration of electronic screen use, optimizing the classroom lighting environment, maintaining a reasonable viewing distance, and ensuring equipment quality. Schools and parents should also cooperate closely to ensure the child's vision health by regularly checking vision and increasing outdoor exercise time," said Hu Xiang (胡翔). He also said that relevant departments should formulate special national standards in the field of electronic blackboards as soon as possible, strengthen supervision, formulate and refine the usage specifications for school electronic teaching equipment, strengthen home-school linkage, actively dispel doubts and resolve misunderstandings, and reduce social misunderstandings about new technologies.

The Great Way moves in parallel, and the Silk Road scroll connects East and West; with a shared future, the tide of cooperation surges forward.
In 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) creatively proposed the "Belt and Road" Initiative. As a major measure for China to expand its opening up to the outside world, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has become the largest, most extensive, and most influential international economic cooperation platform in the world.
The world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, and mankind is once again standing at a crossroads in history. Faced with the ever-increasing global deficits in peace, development, security, and governance, China fully practices the Silk Road spirit of "peaceful cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit," and responds to the question of the times, "What is wrong with the world, and what should we do?" through the joint construction of the "Belt and Road."
Over the past 12 years, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has become wider and more practical, becoming an international public product that embodies Chinese wisdom and is widely welcomed.
First, infrastructure "hard connectivity" continues to be optimized. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" focuses on the construction of economic corridors and international channels, and takes project cooperation as the carrier, basically forming an integrated land, sea, and air network of interconnectedness. The construction of cross-border highways, railways, ports, and aviation hubs is constantly accelerating, and a series of landmark projects have been completed, effectively improving regional logistics efficiency and industrial synergy capabilities. Promote the commissioning and operation of major projects such as cross-border oil and gas pipelines to ensure energy security and consolidate the foundation for development.
Second, the "soft connectivity" of rules and standards is becoming increasingly sound. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" focuses on deepening the alignment of rules and standards, continuously improving the "soft connectivity" mechanism platform, and building a bridge for the interconnection of rules and standards between co-building countries.
China has signed cooperation documents on jointly building the "Belt and Road" with more than 150 countries and more than 30 international organizations. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative is deeply aligned with the development strategies of many countries, establishing multi-level, multi-platform, and multi-subject communication channels. In 2024, China's trade in goods with countries jointly building the "Belt and Road" reached 22.1 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 50% of China's total imports and exports for the first time.
Third, the "people-to-people connectivity" with the people of co-building countries is deepening. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" takes the "people-to-people connectivity" with the people of co-building countries as an important foundation, continuously improves cooperation platforms in the fields of culture, tourism, and education, supports non-governmental exchanges, and forms a diversified and vibrant exchange pattern.
Fourth, new areas of cooperation are steadily advancing. China and its partners are adapting to the new trends in global development, actively building new platforms for multilateral and bilateral cooperation in areas such as green and innovation, establishing the "Belt and Road" Green Development International Alliance, and implementing the "Belt and Road" Science and Technology Innovation Action Plan. Promote the achievement of the "Global Data Security Initiative," the ""Belt and Road" Digital Economy International Cooperation Initiative," and launch the "Global Artificial Intelligence Governance Initiative."
The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative embodies valuable Chinese wisdom, which is prominently reflected in the following aspects:
First, adhere to peace. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" transcends the law of the jungle and hegemonic order based on power confrontation, abandons the zero-sum logic of you lose and I win, you die and I live, breaks away from the Cold War mentality of ideological confrontation and geopolitical game, takes the road of peaceful development, and is committed to fundamentally solving the problems of lasting peace and universal security.
Second, highlight openness. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" is not starting from scratch or overturning and rebuilding, but a beneficial supplement and improvement to the existing international mechanisms; it is not a "solo" by China alone, but a "chorus" by all parties. From the Eurasian continent to Africa, the Americas, and Oceania, no matter what kind of political system, historical culture, religious belief, ideology, or stage of development, as long as there is a willingness for common development, they can participate in the joint construction of the "Belt and Road."
Third, practice equality. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" is based on the principle of joint consultation, joint construction, and shared benefits, advocating equal participation, communication, consultation, and collective wisdom on a voluntary basis, maximizing consensus, and providing a platform for dialogue and cooperation for economies at different stages of development to participate in global governance.
Fourth, emphasize mutual benefit. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" does not engage in overbearing strong buying and selling, does not engage in a "center-periphery" dependency system, and does not transfer problems, harm neighbors, or benefit oneself, but aims to achieve mutual benefit, win-win results, and common development and prosperity. Firmly grasp development, the largest common denominator, give full play to respective potentials, stimulate respective dynamics, and jointly create more development opportunities and space.
The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has not only developed China but also benefited the world. In a world with increasing uncertainty and instability, the era value and world significance of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative are becoming increasingly prominent.
First of all, it brings tangible benefits to co-building countries. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" focuses on solving the shortcomings and bottlenecks that restrict development, implements a large number of infrastructure projects, and improves local production and living conditions and development environment by jointly building transportation, energy, and basic public service infrastructure, and enhances the blood-making function of economic development. Actively promote "small and beautiful" and "beneficial and practical" livelihood projects and people-centered projects, and help local people solve their urgent needs, improve living conditions, and enhance people's well-being by means of agricultural and fishery cooperation and increasing the proportion of local employees, bringing a tangible sense of gain, happiness, and security.
Secondly, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has added new vitality to the global economy. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" is committed to realizing the interconnection and linkage development of the world, opening up the main artery of economic globalization, smoothing the flow of information, capital, technology, products, industries, and personnel, and promoting international cooperation on a larger scale and at a higher level, both expanding and distributing the "cake" of economic globalization. Through infrastructure interconnection, promote international investment, stimulate global infrastructure enthusiasm, expand international division of labor, expand the world market, and inject continuous impetus into world economic growth. Improve the level of trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, build an all-round, multi-level, and composite trade facilitation network, and at the same time focus on building an efficient and interconnected international artery.
Third, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" provides a new solution for improving global governance. We adhere to true multilateralism, practice the global governance concept of joint consultation, joint construction, and shared benefits, adhere to dialogue rather than confrontation, tearing down walls rather than building walls, integration rather than decoupling, and inclusiveness rather than exclusion, providing a new paradigm for exchanges between countries and promoting the development of the global governance system in a more just and reasonable direction. The core concept of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has been written into important documents of international organizations and mechanisms such as the United Nations and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. Accelerate the joint promotion of the construction of governance mechanisms in emerging fields such as innovation, digital, green, and health with partners, enrich and expand the connotation and practice of multilateralism, enhance the voice of emerging market countries and developing countries in global governance, and help reform and improve global governance. Fully respect the differences between countries, do not presuppose rules and standards, do not draw lines based on ideology, but based on the cooperation demands and actual conditions of all parties, through full consultation and in-depth exchanges, jointly study and create rules in practice to address new problems, and effectively improve the global governance system.
Fourth, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" gathers civilizational forces for the progress of human society. We adhere to the concept of equality, mutual learning, dialogue, and inclusiveness among civilizations, adhere to promoting the common values of all mankind, jointly build a road of civilizational exchange and mutual learning in which each civilization is beautiful in its own way and the world is beautiful together, and promote the formation of a new situation of people-to-people exchanges, cultural integration, and people-to-people connectivity among countries in the world.
The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" conforms to the trend of the times, wins the hearts of the people, benefits people's livelihoods, and benefits the world. Looking to the future, we must take the eight actions of high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" as a guide, comprehensively improve the quality and effectiveness of pragmatic cooperation, deepen the construction of institutionalized systems, and promote the high-quality development of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" to go steadily and far.
From the "hard connectivity" of infrastructure to the "soft connectivity" of rules and standards, and then to the "people-to-people connectivity" with the people of co-building countries, China will continue to grow stronger by integrating into the development of the world, and promote the development of the world with its own development. China is willing to work with all parties to always stand on the right side of history and human progress, make the "Belt and Road" a road to happiness that benefits the world, and make greater contributions to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Case 1
Smooth logistics, point-to-point delivery of goods
Narrator: Su Lu (苏鲁) (Kazakh nationality), General Manager of Xi'an Tiedakangte International Logistics Co., Ltd. (西安铁达康特国际物流有限公司)
Some people ask me, why did I choose to start a business in Xi'an (西安), Shaanxi (陕西)? The answer is hidden in the trajectory of the "steel camel team."
In 2021, I came to Xi'an (西安) and settled in this city because it is an important hub of the China-Europe Railway Express - the China-Europe Railway Express (Xi'an) (中欧班列(西安)) ranks among the top in China in terms of annual train departures, efficiently connecting major hub nodes in Central Asia and Europe. At the same time, the policy support and efficient services of Xi'an International Trade and Logistics Park (西安国际港务区) allow start-ups to "travel light."
The China-Europe Railway Express carries development opportunities. As a cross-border logistics company, our business involves about 100 import and export trains per month. From daily necessities and home appliances to new energy vehicles, goods can be delivered point-to-point. We have replicated the successful experience in Xi'an (西安) and have established a branch in Qingdao (青岛), Shandong (山东), and plan to establish branches in Shanghai (上海) and Chengdu (成都), Sichuan (四川).
Visa-free policies, direct flights, and cross-border payments make personnel exchanges between Kazakhstan and China more convenient, which not only promotes tourism consumption and economic and trade exchanges, but also reflects the mutual cooperation between the two countries in jointly building the "Belt and Road."
From Astana (阿斯塔纳), Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦) to Xi'an (西安), China (中国), I have become one of the participants in the joint construction of the "Belt and Road."
China's safety, vitality, and inclusiveness have allowed me to take root deeper and deeper here, and have also made me deeply aware that China is not just a market, but also a stage for realizing dreams.

Case 2
Financial connectivity to help green development
Narrator: Shen Hua (沈华), General Manager of the Trade Finance Department of Bank of China Johannesburg Branch (中国银行约翰内斯堡分行)
South Africa (南非) is plagued by electricity shortages. In 2024, the Oasis Energy Storage Project, tendered by the South African government and contracted by China Power Construction (中国电建), was signed. After the project is completed, it can store 1,000 megawatt-hours of electricity, meeting the electricity needs of about 100,000 households for one day.
China Power Construction (中国电建) was selected as the contractor, which is inseparable from the financial guarantee provided by Bank of China (中国银行). As the credit guarantor, Bank of China (中国银行) issued a letter of guarantee to the owner that complied with South African market practices to guarantee the performance of China Power Construction (中国电建). This not only ensures that the contractor can smoothly obtain advance payments and promote project construction, but also helps the owner avoid risks and enhances the professional image of Chinese companies in international projects.
South Africa (南非) is the first African country to sign a memorandum of understanding on "Belt and Road" cooperation with China (中国), and green development and energy cooperation are key areas supported by Bank of China (中国银行) in South Africa (南非).
In 2022, Bank of China Johannesburg Branch (中国银行约翰内斯堡分行) issued green bonds led by Chinese-funded banks; in 2024, we provided 30 million yuan in financing to China Construction South Africa Company (中建南非公司) to support the reconstruction and expansion of the Durban (德班) Expressway; in July this year, we reached a new agreement with BAIC South Africa Factory (北汽南非工厂) to support its new energy vehicle project construction. Financial connectivity is an important support for the high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road," which will further help the development of the two countries.

Case 3
Close cooperation to cultivate skilled talents
Narrator: Huang Keying (黄可莹) (Thai nationality), teacher at Tianjin Bohai Vocational Technical College (天津渤海职业技术学院)
In 2013, I received a Chinese government scholarship and came to Tianjin (天津) to study. After graduating with a master's degree in 2016, I decided to stay in China (中国) and join Tianjin Bohai Vocational Technical College (天津渤海职业技术学院) to work on the Thai Luban Workshop (泰国鲁班工坊) project.
The Thai Luban Workshop (泰国鲁班工坊) was jointly established by Ayutthaya Technical College (泰国大城技术学院) and Tianjin Bohai Vocational Technical College (天津渤海职业技术学院) in 2016. To date, the Luban Workshop (鲁班工坊) has trained more than 2,000 technical and skilled talents for Thailand (泰国) and supported more than 460 Thai students to study in China (中国).
Witnessing the growth of students and cultivating friendly envoys between the two countries is the most fulfilling thing in my work. Thai students who graduate from Luban Workshop (鲁班工坊) are very "popular" in the job market. This directly improves the economic situation of some students and their families, which is a manifestation of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" to enhance people's well-being.
Luban Workshop (鲁班工坊) provides help for the cultivation of skilled talents in Thailand (泰国). Taking the new energy vehicle industry as an example, the second phase of the Thai Luban Workshop (泰国鲁班工坊) has opened a new energy vehicle technology major, and Tianjin Bohai Vocational Technical College (天津渤海职业技术学院) has provided a lot of equipment and funded Thai teachers to come to China (中国) for training, so that they can master the latest knowledge and technology.
The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has changed my life trajectory. I met my husband in Luban Workshop (鲁班工坊), and we are both family and colleagues. If I want to summarize it in one sentence, I want to say - Thai and Chinese are one family! 泰中一家亲 (tài zhōng yī jiā qīn - "Thailand and China are one family," expressing the close relationship and friendship between Thailand and China).

发挥经济体制改革牵引作用，是改革开放以来党和国家事业取得历史性成就、发生历史性变革的重要经验。Since the reform and opening up, leveraging the guiding role of economic system reform has been a crucial experience in achieving historic accomplishments and transformations in the cause of the Party and the nation. 党的十八大 (The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China) 以来，以 Xi Jinping (习近平) 同志为核心的党中央 (the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core) 作出全面深化改革的重大战略决策，并将其纳入“四个全面”战略布局，鲜明提出以经济体制改革为重点，发挥经济体制改革牵引作用，以一系列划时代的思想变革和实践创造，开创了我国改革开放全新局面。Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core has made major strategic decisions to comprehensively deepen reform and incorporated them into the "Four Comprehensives" strategic layout, explicitly proposing to focus on economic system reform and leverage its guiding role, creating a new landscape for China's reform and opening up with a series of epoch-making ideological transformations and practical innovations. 前不久出版的 Xi Jinping (习近平) 总书记《论坚持全面深化改革》第一卷、第二卷中，贯穿全卷、分量最重的就是关于经济体制改革的重要论述。Recently published volumes one and two of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) "On Upholding Comprehensive and Deepening Reform" contain important discourses on economic system reform that run throughout the volumes and carry the most weight. These important discourses are a concentrated reflection of General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) series of new thoughts, viewpoints, and judgments on comprehensively deepening reform in the economic field, demonstrating powerful truth and practical strength in guiding new practices and leading new transformations.
理论上不断深化，为发挥经济体制改革牵引作用提供根本遵循
《论坚持全面深化改革》第一卷、第二卷共收入 Xi Jinping (习近平) 总书记 165 篇重要文稿，其中涉及经济体制改革的近 100 篇。Volumes one and two of "On Upholding Comprehensive and Deepening Reform" include a total of 165 important documents by General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平), nearly 100 of which relate to economic system reform. 在这些重要文稿中，Xi Jinping (习近平) 总书记着眼国内国际两个大局、立足我国经济社会发展伟大实践，不断总结和深化对新时代推动经济体制改革的规律性认识，创造性提出一系列新思想新观点新论断，是马克思主义政治经济学中国化时代化的最新理论成果，既是改革思想的经济篇，也是经济思想的改革篇。In these important documents, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平), focusing on both domestic and international situations and based on the great practice of China's economic and social development, continuously summarized and deepened the understanding of the regularity of promoting economic system reform in the new era, creatively put forward a series of new thoughts, viewpoints, and judgments, which are the latest theoretical achievements of the Sinicization and modernization of Marxist political economy, both an economic chapter of reform thought and a reform chapter of economic thought.
党的十八届三中全会 (The Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China) 是划时代的，开启了新时代全面深化改革、系统整体设计推进改革的新征程，也翻开了经济体制改革的新篇章。The Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (党的十八届三中全会) was epoch-making, opening a new journey of comprehensively deepening reform, systematically designing and promoting reform as a whole in the new era, and also opening a new chapter in economic system reform. 《论坚持全面深化改革》第一卷中《关于〈中共中央关于全面深化改革若干重大问题的决定〉的说明》《切实把思想统一到党的十八届三中全会精神上来》等重要文稿，对新时代经济体制改革的重要地位作了深刻阐述。Volume one of "On Upholding Comprehensive and Deepening Reform," including important documents such as "Explanation on the 'Decision of the CPC Central Committee on Several Major Issues Concerning Comprehensively Deepening Reform'" and "Earnestly Unify Thinking with the Spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee," profoundly expounded the important position of economic system reform in the new era. Xi Jinping (习近平) 总书记指出，坚持以经济建设为中心不动摇，就必须坚持以经济体制改革为重点不动摇。General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that adhering to the focus on economic construction without wavering requires adhering to the focus on economic system reform without wavering. 经济体制改革对其他方面改革具有重要影响和传导作用，我们要坚持以经济体制改革为主轴，努力在重要领域和关键环节改革上取得新突破，以此牵引和带动其他领域改革。Economic system reform has an important impact and transmission effect on other aspects of reform. We must adhere to economic system reform as the main axis, strive to achieve new breakthroughs in reform in important areas and key links, and use this to guide and drive reform in other areas. 在《“看不见的手”和“看得见的手”都要用好》《毫不动摇坚持我国基本经济制度，推动各种所有制经济健康发展》《关于深化供给侧结构性改革》等重要文稿中，Xi Jinping (习近平) 总书记对事关我国发展全局的一些方向性、原则性问题作了深入阐述，突出强调经济体制改革是全面深化改革的重点，核心问题是处理好政府和市场的关系，使市场在资源配置中起决定性作用和更好发挥政府作用，要坚持社会主义市场经济改革方向，坚持和完善社会主义基本经济制度。In important documents such as "'Invisible Hand' and 'Visible Hand' Must Be Used Well," "Unswervingly Adhere to China's Basic Economic System and Promote the Healthy Development of Various Ownership Economies," and "On Deepening Supply-Side Structural Reform," General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) elaborated in depth on some directional and principled issues concerning China's overall development, emphasizing that economic system reform is the focus of comprehensively deepening reform, the core issue is to handle the relationship between the government and the market well, so that the market plays a decisive role in resource allocation and the government plays a better role, and it is necessary to adhere to the direction of socialist market economy reform and adhere to and improve the basic socialist economic system. 我们国家这么大、人口这么多，又处于并将长期处于社会主义初级阶段，要把经济社会发展搞上去，就要各方面齐心协力来干，**众人拾柴火焰高** (zhòng rén shí chái huǒ yàn gāo - "many people gather firewood, the flames rise high," collective effort yields great results). 公有制经济、非公有制经济应该相辅相成、相得益彰，而不是相互排斥、相互抵消。The public and non-public sectors of the economy should complement each other and enhance each other, rather than exclude or offset each other. 党的十八届五中全会 (The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China) 后，围绕贯彻新发展理念，Xi Jinping (习近平) 总书记科学把握改革和发展的辩证关系，在《以新的发展理念引领发展》《对新常态怎么看，新常态怎么干》等重要文稿中指出，坚持创新发展、协调发展、绿色发展、开放发展、共享发展，是关系我国发展全局的一场深刻变革。After the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (党的十八届五中全会), around the implementation of the new development concept, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) scientifically grasped the dialectical relationship between reform and development, and pointed out in important documents such as "Leading Development with the New Development Concept" and "How to View the New Normal and How to Work in the New Normal" that adhering to innovative, coordinated, green, open, and shared development is a profound transformation related to China's overall development. 我们要解放思想、实事求是、与时俱进，按照创新、协调、绿色、开放、共享的发展理念，在理论上作出创新性概括，在政策上作出前瞻性安排，加大结构性改革力度，矫正要素配置扭曲，扩大有效供给，提高供给结构适应性和灵活性，提高全要素生产率。We must emancipate our minds, seek truth from facts, keep pace with the times, make innovative generalizations in theory, make forward-looking arrangements in policy, increase the intensity of structural reform, correct distortions in factor allocation, expand effective supply, improve the adaptability and flexibility of the supply structure, and improve total factor productivity in accordance with the development concepts of innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing. 我国发展走到今天，发展和改革高度融合，发展前进一步就需要改革前进一步，改革不断前进也能为发展提供强劲动力。China's development has reached today, development and reform are highly integrated, a step forward in development requires a step forward in reform, and continuous progress in reform can also provide strong impetus for development. 既要以新发展理念指导引领全面深化改革，又要通过深化改革为完整、准确、全面贯彻新发展理念提供体制机制保障。It is necessary to guide and lead comprehensively deepening reform with the new development concept, and also to provide institutional guarantees for the complete, accurate, and comprehensive implementation of the new development concept through deepening reform.
党的十九大报告 (The Report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China) 提出，我国经济已由高速增长阶段转向高质量发展阶段，正处在转变发展方式、优化经济结构、转换增长动力的攻关期。The Report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (党的十九大报告) proposed that China's economy has shifted from a stage of high-speed growth to a stage of high-quality development, and is in a critical period of transforming the development mode, optimizing the economic structure, and transforming the growth momentum. 同时，百年变局和世纪疫情交织叠加，新一轮科技革命和产业变革方兴未艾，我国发展环境面临深刻复杂变化。At the same time, the once-in-a-century changes and the century-long pandemic are intertwined, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is booming, and China's development environment is facing profound and complex changes. 以 Xi Jinping (习近平) 同志为核心的党中央 (the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core) 准确把握我国发展阶段新特征和外部环境新变化，把坚持高质量发展作为新时代的硬道理，聚焦影响高质量发展的体制机制障碍，对深化经济体制改革作出一系列深刻阐述和重大部署。The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core accurately grasped the new characteristics of China's development stage and the new changes in the external environment, took adhering to high-quality development as the hard truth of the new era, focused on the institutional obstacles affecting high-quality development, and made a series of profound expositions and major deployments on deepening economic system reform. 关于更好统筹改革和发展的关系，Xi Jinping (习近平) 总书记在《推动改革和发展深度融合、高效联动》等重要文稿中指出，改革又到了一个新的关头，唯有全面深化改革，才能更好践行新发展理念，破解发展难题、增强发展活力、厚植发展优势。Regarding the better coordination of the relationship between reform and development, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out in important documents such as "Promoting the Deep Integration and Efficient Linkage of Reform and Development" that reform has reached a new juncture, and only by comprehensively deepening reform can we better practice the new development concept, solve development problems, enhance development vitality, and consolidate development advantages. 要继续把握好改革和发展的内在联系，使改革更好对接发展所需、基层所盼、民心所向，推动改革和发展深度融合、高效联动。It is necessary to continue to grasp the internal connection between reform and development, so that reform can better connect with the needs of development, the expectations of the grassroots, and the aspirations of the people, and promote the deep integration and efficient linkage of reform and development. 关于改革重点任务，Xi Jinping (习近平) 总书记在《加快建设现代化经济体系》《使各项改革朝着推动形成新发展格局聚焦发力》《推动新发展阶段改革取得更大突破、展现更大作为》等重要文稿中指出，要把接续推进改革同服务党和国家工作大局结合起来，围绕落实新发展理念、构建新发展格局、推动高质量发展等战略目标任务，推进创造性、引领性改革，完善现代化经济体系的制度保障。Regarding the key tasks of reform, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out in important documents such as "Accelerating the Construction of a Modern Economic System," "Focusing Efforts to Promote the Formation of a New Development Pattern with Various Reforms," and "Promoting Greater Breakthroughs and Demonstrating Greater Achievements in the New Stage of Reform" that it is necessary to combine the continued promotion of reform with serving the overall work of the Party and the country, and promote creative and leading reforms around the strategic goals and tasks of implementing the new development concept, building a new development pattern, and promoting high-quality development, and improve the institutional guarantees of a modern economic system. 关于防范和应对重大风险挑战，Xi Jinping (习近平) 总书记在《依靠改革应对变局、开拓新局，善于运用制度优势应对风险挑战冲击》等重要文稿中指出，我们既要通过深化改革来防范化解重大风险，也要通过防范化解重大风险来保障改革顺利推进。Regarding the prevention and response to major risks and challenges, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out in important documents such as "Relying on Reform to Respond to Changes and Open Up New Situations, and Being Good at Using Institutional Advantages to Respond to Risks, Challenges, and Shocks" that we must not only prevent and resolve major risks through deepening reform, but also ensure the smooth progress of reform by preventing and resolving major risks. 既善于积势蓄势谋势，又善于识变求变应变，紧紧扭住关键，积极鼓励探索，突出改革实效，推动改革更好服务经济社会发展大局。We must be good at accumulating momentum, recognizing changes, and responding to changes, firmly grasp the key, actively encourage exploration, highlight the effectiveness of reform, and promote reform to better serve the overall situation of economic and social development. 这些重要论述指引我们准确把握新发展阶段要求，为完整准确全面贯彻新发展理念、构建新发展格局、推动高质量发展创造良好制度条件。These important discourses guide us to accurately grasp the requirements of the new development stage and create good institutional conditions for the complete, accurate, and comprehensive implementation of the new development concept, the construction of a new development pattern, and the promotion of high-quality development.
党的二十大 (The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China) 确立了全面建成社会主义现代化强国、实现第二个百年奋斗目标，以中国式现代化全面推进中华民族伟大复兴的中心任务，明确高质量发展是全面建设社会主义现代化国家的首要任务。The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (党的二十大) established the central task of comprehensively building a strong socialist modern country, achieving the second centenary goal, and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, and clarified that high-quality development is the primary task of comprehensively building a socialist modern country. 党的二十届三中全会 (The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China) 对进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化作出系统谋划和全面部署，将各领域各方面改革聚焦到推进中国式现代化、推动高质量发展上来。The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (党的二十届三中全会) made systematic plans and comprehensive deployments for further comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese-style modernization, focusing reforms in various fields and aspects on promoting Chinese-style modernization and promoting high-quality development. 《论坚持全面深化改革》第二卷中，Xi Jinping (习近平) 总书记在《把全面深化改革作为推进中国式现代化的根本动力》《进一步全面深化改革要紧扣推进中国式现代化这个主题》等重要文稿中指出，要把全面深化改革作为推进中国式现代化的根本动力，作为稳大局、应变局、开新局的重要抓手，把准方向、守正创新、真抓实干，在新征程上谱写改革开放新篇章。In volume two of "On Upholding Comprehensive and Deepening Reform," General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out in important documents such as "Taking Comprehensively Deepening Reform as the Fundamental Driving Force for Promoting Chinese-Style Modernization" and "Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform Should Closely Focus on the Theme of Promoting Chinese-Style Modernization" that it is necessary to take comprehensively deepening reform as the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese-style modernization, as an important grasp for stabilizing the overall situation, responding to changes, and opening up new situations, accurately grasp the direction, adhere to integrity and innovation, work hard and pragmatically, and write a new chapter in reform and opening up on the new journey. 要锚定完善和发展中国特色社会主义制度、推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化这个总目标，坚持目标导向和问题导向相结合，奔着问题去、盯着问题改，坚决破除妨碍推进中国式现代化的思想观念和体制机制弊端，着力破解深层次体制机制障碍和结构性矛盾，不断为中国式现代化注入强劲动力、提供有力制度保障。It is necessary to anchor the overall goal of improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities, adhere to the combination of goal orientation and problem orientation, go for the problems, focus on solving the problems, resolutely eliminate the ideological concepts and institutional drawbacks that hinder the promotion of Chinese-style modernization, focus on solving deep-seated institutional obstacles and structural contradictions, and continuously inject strong impetus and provide strong institutional guarantees for Chinese-style modernization. 在《关于〈中共中央关于进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的决定〉的说明》《深入学习领会党的二十届三中全会精神，切实抓好贯彻落实》《进一步全面深化改革中的几个重大理论和实践问题》等重要文稿中，Xi Jinping (习近平) 总书记强调，深化经济体制改革仍是进一步全面深化改革的重点，必须坚持守正创新，既不走封闭僵化的老路，也不走改旗易帜的邪路，要突出经济体制改革这个重点，坚决破除影响和制约高质量发展的体制机制弊端，完善与新质生产力更相适应的生产关系，塑造发展新动能新优势。In important documents such as "Explanation on the 'Decision of the CPC Central Committee on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese-Style Modernization,'" "Deeply Study and Comprehend the Spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, and Effectively Grasp Implementation," and "Several Major Theoretical and Practical Issues in Further Comprehensively Deepening Reform," General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that deepening economic system reform is still the focus of further comprehensively deepening reform, and it is necessary to adhere to integrity and innovation, neither taking the old road of closure and rigidity, nor taking the wrong road of changing the flag, highlighting the focus of economic system reform, resolutely eliminating the institutional drawbacks that affect and restrict high-quality development, improving the production relations that are more compatible with new quality productive forces, and shaping new momentum and new advantages for development. 面对外部环境急剧变化，Xi Jinping (习近平) 总书记在《以高水平对外开放促进深层次改革、高质量发展》《全面推动共建“一带一路”高质量发展》等重要文稿中指出，稳步扩大规则、规制、管理、标准等制度型开放，加快打造对外开放新高地，建设更高水平开放型经济新体制，加快构建新发展格局。In the face of drastic changes in the external environment, General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out in important documents such as "Promoting Deep-Level Reform and High-Quality Development with High-Level Opening Up" and "Comprehensively Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Joint Construction of the 'Belt and Road'" that steadily expanding institutional opening up in rules, regulations, management, standards, etc., accelerating the creation of new highlands for opening up, building a new system of a higher-level open economy, and accelerating the construction of a new development pattern. 个别国家搞“小院高墙”、关税壁垒，将经贸问题政治化、工具化、武器化、泛安全化，迫使企业选边站队，作出违背经济规律的选择。Some countries engage in "small yards and high walls" and tariff barriers, politicizing, instrumentalizing, weaponizing, and generalizing security issues in economic and trade issues, forcing companies to choose sides and make choices that violate economic laws. 这不符合市场规则和开放大势。This does not conform to market rules and the trend of opening up. 我们要共同维护开放合作的国际环境。We must jointly maintain an international environment of openness and cooperation. 这些重要论述既是对改革开放历史经验的理论升华，又是对新形势下推进经济社会高质量发展的创新创造，具有新的时代特征，对于在进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化中更好发挥经济体制改革牵引作用具有重要指导意义。These important discourses are both a theoretical sublimation of the historical experience of reform and opening up and an innovative creation for promoting high-quality economic and social development in the new situation, with new characteristics of the times, and have important guiding significance for better leveraging the guiding role of economic system reform in further comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese-style modernization.
实践上不断拓展，推动经济体制改革取得历史性成就

Strengthen the macroeconomic governance system. Improving the macroeconomic governance system, which takes the national development plan as a strategic guide, fiscal and monetary policies as the main means, and closely coordinates employment, industry, investment, consumption, environmental protection, regional and other policies, with optimized goals, reasonable division of labor, and efficient coordination, is a major innovation made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core in the theory and practice of macroeconomic regulation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have grasped the requirements of macroeconomic governance, improved the macroeconomic regulation system, coordinated the promotion of reforms in key areas such as fiscal and taxation, and finance, enhanced the consistency of macroeconomic policy orientation, and effectively improved the effectiveness of macroeconomic governance.

Improve the institutional foundation for promoting common prosperity. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that Chinese-style modernization is socialist modernization with common prosperity for all the people. We adhere to taking the people's yearning for a better life as the starting point and end result of modernization construction, focusing on maintaining and promoting social fairness and justice, focusing on promoting common prosperity for all the people, and resolutely preventing polarization. It is necessary to implement the people-centered development thought, seize the most concerned, most direct, and most realistic interests of the people to promote reforms in key areas, continuously enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security, and steadily promote common prosperity. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have firmly grasped the essential requirements of common prosperity, focusing on guaranteeing and improving people's livelihood, promoting high-quality and full employment, improving the income distribution system, improving the social security system, running education that satisfies the people, building a healthy China, and promoting the equalization of basic public services, and launched a number of pragmatic reform measures to focus on solving the urgent and difficult problems of the people.

Promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that handling the relationship between development and protection is a worldwide problem and an eternal topic facing human social development. Throughout the entire process of Chinese-style modernization, we must grasp the dialectical unity between high-quality development and high-level protection. It is necessary to plan development from the height of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, take the carrying capacity of resources and the environment as the premise and foundation, consciously restrict economic activities and human behavior within the limits that natural resources and the ecological environment can bear, and promote the effective improvement of quality and the rational growth of quantity in development through green transformation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core has incorporated ecological civilization construction into the "five-in-one" overall layout, coordinated high-quality development and high-level protection, systematically laid out and comprehensively promoted the reform of the ecological civilization system, and accelerated the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. Introduced the overall plan for the reform of the ecological civilization system and major reform plans such as property rights of natural resource assets, development and protection of territorial space, spatial planning, environmental governance, total resource management and comprehensive conservation, paid use of resources and ecological compensation, formulated and revised the Environmental Protection Law and more than 30 ecological and environmental laws and regulations, established and improved the central ecological and environmental protection inspection system, and constructed a basic institutional framework for ecological and environmental protection that strictly prevents at the source, strictly manages the process, and severely punishes the consequences. Taking carbon peaking and carbon neutrality as the lead, strengthen the top-level institutional design of green development, focusing on deepening reforms in coordinating and optimizing industrial layout, planning and constructing a new energy system, establishing a dual control system for total carbon emissions and intensity, establishing and improving a green development standard system and market-oriented mechanism, and improving the green consumption incentive mechanism, and accelerate the construction of a green, low-carbon, and circular development economic system.
Build a new system for a higher-level open economy. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that building a new system for a higher-level open economy is our strategic measure to proactively promote reform and development through opening up. It is necessary to focus on serving the construction of a new development pattern, focus on institutional opening up, deepen the reform of the system and mechanism in key areas of foreign exchange and cooperation such as investment, trade, finance, and innovation, improve supporting policies and measures, and actively and proactively raise China's opening up to a new level. To accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, it is necessary to scientifically understand the relationship between the domestic cycle and the domestic and international dual cycles, and implement a wider range, wider field, and deeper level of opening up to the outside world. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core has implemented a more proactive opening-up strategy and continuously launched a series of combined punches in accelerating the construction of a new system for an open economy. Deepen the reform in the field of trade and investment, expand market access, fully implement the pre-access national treatment plus negative list management system, fully abolish foreign investment access restrictions in the manufacturing sector, and create a first-class business environment that is market-oriented, rule-of-law, and internationalized.

Implement the overall national security concept, coordinate opening up and security, enhance the ability and level of opening-up supervision, enhance the ability to dynamically maintain national security in the environment of opening up to the outside world, and provide escort for high-level opening up to the outside world.
Promoting the continuous improvement of the reform system and mechanism provides an important guarantee for deepening economic system reform.
Economic system reform affects the whole body, and requires a strong leadership system and scientific and effective mechanisms to ensure the smooth progress of reform. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core has held the "bull nose" of economic system reform, strengthened centralized and unified leadership, improved the promotion and implementation mechanism, innovated reform methods, and promoted economic system reform to go deeper and more solid, and continuously achieve new breakthroughs.
Strengthen the Party's leadership over reform work. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that adhering to the Party's comprehensive leadership is our greatest political advantage and the fundamental guarantee for the successful promotion of reform and opening up in our country. It is necessary to run the Party's leadership through all aspects and the entire process of reform to ensure that reform always advances along the correct political direction. The most fundamental reason for the historic achievements of reform and opening up lies in adhering to and strengthening the Party's leadership, promoting reform in an organized, step-by-step, and disciplined manner, and giving full play to our institutional advantages. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping (习近平) at its core has led and promoted the comprehensive deepening of reform with unprecedented determination and strength. A reform leadership institution was established at the Party Central Committee level, with General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) personally taking charge. Six special groups, including a special group for economic system and ecological civilization system reform, were established to be responsible for coordinating the promotion and supervision and implementation of reforms in various fields. A leadership work system and mechanism for reform was established from top to bottom at all levels of Party committees, providing a strong organizational leadership guarantee for reform. Deepen the reform of the Party and state institutions without delay, improve the system and mechanism for the Party to lead major work such as economy, reform, finance, and science and technology, optimize and adjust the setting of government institutions and the allocation of functions, and strengthen the functions of economic regulation, market supervision, social management, public services, and ecological and environmental protection, providing strong institutional support and organizational guarantee for deepening economic system reform.
Strengthen the systematic integration of reform. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) pointed out that strengthening the systematic integration, coordination, and efficiency of reform means not only grasping the coordination of reform plans, but also grasping the coordination of reform implementation, and even more grasping the coordination of reform effects, promoting various reform measures to cooperate with each other in policy orientation, promote each other in the implementation process, and complement each other in reform results, focusing on the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have systematically planned and promoted economic system reform, adhered to improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform of promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capabilities, combined the implementation of reform tasks with the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society, the comprehensive construction of a strong socialist modern country, the implementation of medium- and long-term strategic plans, and the realization of annual economic and social development goals, and promoted various reforms to focus on achieving the established goals. Strengthen the top-level design of reforms in important areas, coordinate the promotion of reforms in the four pillars and eight beams such as fiscal and taxation, finance, state-owned enterprises, science and technology, agriculture and rural areas, ecological protection, and opening up to the outside world, grasp the coordination of plans, the coordination of implementation, and the coordination of effects, and achieve front-to-back echo, mutual cooperation, and the formation of a whole.
Encourage grassroots exploration and innovation. General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that crossing the river by feeling the stones is a reform method with Chinese characteristics and in line with China's national conditions. It is necessary to adhere to looking downward and stepping downward, encourage and guide grassroots to explore more original and differentiated reforms, and summarize and promote good experiences and practices of grassroots exploration and innovation in a timely manner. No matter what stage the reform is promoted to, the people's pioneering spirit cannot be ignored. It is necessary to encourage local, grassroots, and the masses to boldly explore, and promote the benign interaction and organic combination of top-level design and grassroots exploration. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have fully mobilized the enthusiasm of local grassroots for reform exploration and innovation, encouraged various localities to carry out differentiated exploration in light of their actual conditions under the premise of adhering to the overall situation of the country, give full play to their own comparative advantages, and better integrate local reforms into the overall situation of national reform and development. Focusing on promoting major institutional innovation, a number of reform pilots have been deployed, free trade pilot zones, national ecological civilization pilot zones, and common prosperity demonstration zones have been established in places with conditions, comprehensive innovation reform experiments have been carried out, and comprehensive reform pilots have been implemented, effectively playing a demonstration and breakthrough role in driving the overall reform situation. For new problems encountered in new fields and new practices of economic development, fully respect the pioneering spirit of the grassroots and the masses, encourage pioneering and innovation, and continuously create and accumulate fresh experiences that can be replicated and promoted.
Grasp the implementation of reform with the spirit of **钉钉子** (dīng dīng zi - "nailing nails," to do something meticulously and persistently). General Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized that if you don't calm down and grasp implementation, no matter how good the goals and blueprints are, they are just flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water. The main leading comrades of Party committees and governments at all levels must grasp reform in their hands, both take command and go into battle, personally deploy important reforms, personally check major plans, personally coordinate key links, and personally supervise the implementation. It is necessary to take grasping implementation as the focus of all reform work, one point of deployment, nine points of implementation, grasping iron with traces, and stamping stones with imprints. The task of deepening economic system reform in the new era is arduous and heavy. Under the leadership of the Party Central Committee, we have compacted the main responsibility for reform, improved the task division and implementation mechanism for major reform measures, scientifically formulated implementation plans for reform tasks, clarified the leading units, participating units, responsible matters, form of results, time limit requirements, and responsible subjects of reform, strengthened the responsibility of the main leading comrades of Party committees and governments at all levels for grasping implementation, and encouraged the vast number of Party members and cadres to forge ahead and start businesses. Strengthen task supervision and implementation, continue to carry out reform supervision work in depth, incorporate the implementation of major reforms into the content of supervision and inspection and patrol inspections, resolutely oppose formalism and bureaucracy, prevent and correct phenomena such as non-responsibility and non-action, non-reform and fake reform, and test reform with practical results and the satisfaction of the people.
General Secretary Xi Jinping's (习近平) important expositions on deepening economic system reform are a scientific system that originates from practice and guides practice. We must closely integrate with the practice of economic and social development and our own work reality, deeply study the important chapters and important ideas in the first and second volumes of *On Adhering to Comprehensively Deepening Reform*, strive to master the positions, viewpoints, and methods that run through them, achieve the unity of learning, thinking, and application, and the unity of knowing, believing, and acting, and better play the leading role of economic system reform in further comprehensively deepening reform, and continuously create a new situation in the construction of Chinese-style modernization with new momentum for reform and new advantages for development.

Working Together to Promote Cooperation and Dialogue Among Civilizations
Alejandro Gómez (亚历杭德罗·戈麦斯), Vice President of Prensa Latina (拉丁美洲通讯社) of Cuba (古巴)
Since its establishment, Prensa Latina (拉丁美洲通讯社) of Cuba (古巴) has shouldered the mission of speaking out for the people and combating information manipulation, a purpose that has become increasingly important today. The world today is undergoing profound changes and facing common challenges: the spread of false information, the implementation of unilateral coercive measures, and the inequalities that still exist in the international system. In this situation, the media of the Global South (全球南方) have the responsibility to cooperate, share experiences, and deeply explore the truth. In this process, the "Belt and Road" initiative and the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative proposed by China (中国) are of decisive significance for promoting cooperation and dialogue among civilizations.
We reaffirm our support for these initiatives aimed at working towards a common future for mankind and recognize China's (中国) leadership in defending multilateralism, fairness, justice, and common progress. We firmly believe that only through joint efforts can we promote the development of the international system towards a more equitable, just, and representative direction.
During the third council meeting of the "Belt and Road" News Cooperation Alliance, Prensa Latina (拉丁美洲通讯社) of Cuba (古巴) called on everyone to take action to promote genuine media cooperation, consolidate high-level dialogue, and build an exchange platform that helps policymakers analyze and make decisions. In view of this, we propose to strengthen the collective commitment to resist power politics and bullying practices, give the countries of the Global South (全球南方) more say, and expand cooperation. We once again invite all colleagues to join the Voice of the Global South initiative, a platform promoted by Prensa Latina (拉丁美洲通讯社) of Cuba (古巴) that brings together more than 100 international media outlets, including authoritative Chinese media such as People's Daily (人民日报社) and Xinhua News Agency (新华社).
We firmly believe that by working together, we will surely make the voices of countries participating in the "Belt and Road" initiative and countries of the Global South (全球南方) louder, jointly promote peace, justice, and development, and support the just cause of all peoples.
Diversified Win-Win, Promoting Regional Economic Governance
Song Guoyou (宋国友), Deputy Director of the Center for American Studies of Fudan University (复旦大学美国研究中心)
The current regional economic governance faces some important issues to be resolved, such as the unilateralism and trade protectionism policies of the United States (美国) that damage the multilateral trading system; frequent regional turbulence, the rise of anti-globalization, and the lack of rules and the rule of law, which restrict or damage regional economic governance; and traditional international multilateral governance mechanisms face common challenges such as insufficient resources, insufficient authority, and lack of consensus, and the role of various regional economic systems has been weakened.
In the face of the important issues of regional economic governance, the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative is even more significant. First, it helps to solve common regional problems and strengthen the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind. Deepen understanding in the high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" and strengthen the overall framework of building a community with a shared future for mankind in the "five-in-one" (五位一体) framework. Second, it helps to build an important supply platform for regional public goods. Proposing the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative is a move by China (中国) to actively demonstrate its responsibility as a major country. By providing various public goods, it helps to reduce various economic problems that may arise. Third, it helps to better safeguard and promote the interests of regional countries. Countries and regions jointly building the "Belt and Road" start from the greatest common divisor of regional economic development and improve regional economic governance, thereby better safeguarding and promoting regional interests.
In response to the new situation and new challenges facing regional economic governance, China (中国) is contributing Chinese solutions with innovative thinking. The first is diversified win-win. China (中国) is actively building new regional governance relations, allowing actors with different political systems, levels of development, and forms of civilization to work together to promote the construction of a more just and reasonable governance system. The second is that the great way is for the public. China (中国) has always attached importance to safeguarding and promoting the fairness and justice of regional economic rules, taking care of the interests of the vast number of developing countries, and resisting unilateralism, protectionism, and economic bullying practices. The third is to make persistent efforts. China (中国) has always demonstrated strategic determination, adhered to long-termism, and enhanced the continuity and predictability of regional economic governance.
Seize Opportunities and Actively Explore the International Market
Deng Xiaowei (邓晓伟), Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Party Working Committee of Chongqing High-tech Zone (重庆高新区党工委宣传部), Director of the融媒体中心
In September 2020, the construction of the Western (Chongqing) Science City (西部（重庆）科学城) was fully launched, focusing on building an important carrier for the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle (成渝地区双城经济圈). In the past five years, multiple platforms such as the Chongqing Xiyong Comprehensive Bonded Zone (重庆西永综保区) and the Chongqing Free Trade Pilot Zone (重庆自贸试验区) have been built on this land. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative has brought all-round and in-depth development opportunities to the Western (Chongqing) Science City (西部（重庆）科学城).
The first is the "experimental field" of international cooperation. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" allows the scientific and technological achievements of the Science City to go from the laboratory to the international market, and from serving the local area to solving global problems. For example, the key project, the Germplasm Creation Major Science Center, has developed high-yielding varieties with artemisinin content of up to 3.2% for malaria prevention and control, which have been tested in Madagascar (马达加斯加). The "High-Proportion Renewable Energy Power System" jointly developed by Chongqing University (重庆大学) and Egypt (埃及) directly serves Egypt's (埃及) "2030 Vision" and has become a model of Sino-Egyptian (中埃) scientific and technological cooperation. Incubated enterprise Chongqing Fudimai Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (重庆复迪脉数字科技有限公司) has realized technology going overseas, prompting the Science City and the China-Belarus Industrial Park (中白工业园) in Belarus (白俄罗斯) to reach a number of intentions in the direction of joint laboratory construction, technology going overseas, and talent exchange.
The second is the "new window" for industrial upgrading. Unblock trade networks and promote "Made in China" to the world. Xiyong Micro-electronics Park (西永微电园), located in the Science City, gathers more than 50 integrated circuit companies such as United Microelectronics, China Resources Microelectronics, and STMicroelectronics, and builds an intelligent terminal industry chain, with products sold far overseas. Chongqing Moore Water Treatment Equipment Co., Ltd. (重庆摩尔水处理设备有限公司) independently developed the 15th generation of pure water equipment, and its products have entered more than 60 countries such as Kazakhstan (哈萨克斯坦), Thailand (泰国), Malaysia (马来西亚), Chile (智利), and Brazil (巴西), becoming a supporting supplier of United Nations water system products. Chongqing Xinyuan Motorcycle Co., Ltd. (重庆鑫源摩托车股份有限公司) relies on research and development investment to launch a variety of models such as sports cars, retro cars, and off-road vehicles, and its products are sold far to countries and regions such as Russia (俄罗斯), Guatemala (危地马拉), and Peru (秘鲁).
Focusing on Opening Up, Building an Overseas Service System
Wang Guangjun (王广俊), Member of the Standing Committee of the Chengmai County Party Committee (澄迈县委常委) of Hainan (海南), Minister of the Propaganda Department
Chengmai (澄迈) has a profound historical and cultural heritage and is an ancient county with a thousand-year history in Hainan (海南). Chengmai (澄迈) was selected as one of the top 100 counties in China (中国) in terms of comprehensive strength in 2023 and 2024; Hainan Ecological Software Park (海南生态软件园) continues to optimize the business environment, achieving annual revenue of over 200 billion yuan; and has made innovative breakthroughs in the five major fields of digital, marine, intelligent manufacturing, green, and cultural, forming 1 trillion-level and 3 100-billion-level industrial clusters.
In Chengmai (澄迈), opening-up policies and overseas services empower each other and achieve each other. As an important part of the Hainan Free Trade Port (海南自贸港) and an international platform for China (中国) to connect with the world, Chengmai (澄迈) focuses on "focusing on going overseas and investing in Chengmai (澄迈)" as the main line, creating five major overseas scenarios for games, cross-border e-commerce, manufacturing, new energy vehicles, and digital culture, and issuing a sincere invitation to "go overseas, come to Chengmai (澄迈)." Chengmai (澄迈) actively builds an overseas service system for enterprises and creates a comprehensive service platform for enterprises going overseas.
In Chengmai, the business environment and livable environment continue to be optimized. Respecting entrepreneurs, approaching entrepreneurs, and serving entrepreneurs have become a prevailing trend here. Chengmai County's "Project Through Train" project was recognized as a provincial demonstration case for optimizing the business environment. Businesses can be established in as little as one working day, and projects can complete construction procedures in as little as 7.5 hours from signing the contract to acquiring the land. Chengmai is known as the World Longevity Township and the World Selenium-Rich Blessed Land, with selenium-rich soil distributed relatively concentrated and covering a large area. Chengmai is committed to creating the "Study in Chengmai" education brand. East China Normal University Chengmai Experimental Middle School (华东师范大学澄迈实验中学), Hainan Middle School Meilun Campus (海南中学美伦校区), iSchool Hainan Microcity Future School (iSchool海南微城未来学校), and Beijing Foreign Studies University Affiliated Hainan Foreign Language School (北京外国语大学附属海南外国语学校) have been built and are operating here. The Fushan Coffee Culture Style Town was approved as a national 4A-level scenic spot, and the construction of public infrastructure projects such as the Dongpo Cultural Industry Park and the National Fitness Center is accelerating in an all-round way.

Return to TopStrengthen Exchanges and Promote Common Development
Lee Hee-seop (李熙燮), Secretary-General of the Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat
The ASEAN Plus Three (APT) cooperation framework has long served as a successful model for regional multilateral cooperation, making significant contributions to economic growth, stability, and prosperity. From promoting financial cooperation and enhancing supply chain resilience to fostering sustainable development and increasing people-to-people exchanges, the 10+3 cooperation mechanism provides important impetus for participating countries to maintain unremitting dialogue and cooperation in the face of complex challenges. Trilateral cooperation among China, Japan, and South Korea was born in 1999 during the ASEAN Plus Three (APT) Leaders' Meeting and has since provided continuous momentum for the development of 10+3 cooperation. The coordination process of trilateral cooperation complements 10+3 cooperation.
Since its establishment in 2011, the Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat has actively promoted cooperation with ASEAN countries, participated in the ASEAN Plus Three (APT) Leaders' Meetings, invited partners from ASEAN countries, China, Japan, and South Korea to share their views, and welcomed ASEAN students to participate in regional exchanges. These efforts aim to enhance mutual understanding, deepen connections, and promote common development in the region and even globally.
The media are not only observers and recorders but also active promoters of regional cooperation. Through accurate reporting, telling cooperation stories, and amplifying voices of understanding, the media of the 10+3 countries can bridge cognitive gaps and promote mutual trust.
The Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat regards media exchange and cooperation as a key task. We will continue to work closely with media partners to build bridges for enhancing understanding among the people of the 10+3 countries.

凝聚合力，应对AI挑战 (Ningju Heli, Yingdui AI Tiaozhan) - Gathering Strength to Meet the Challenges of AI
Nalariya, Deputy Secretary-General of ASEAN
The theme of "Connectivity, Co-creation, and Co-sharing" aptly highlights the important role played by the media in promoting dialogue, enhancing understanding, and strengthening exchanges.
AI (Artificial Intelligence) has great potential but also brings severe challenges. In 2024, ASEAN released the "ASEAN Guide on AI Governance and Ethics" and supplemented it with a generative AI supplementary framework in 2025, forming the "ASEAN Responsible AI Roadmap (2025-2030)."
We must leverage ASEAN's coordinating role to ensure the safe and healthy development of artificial intelligence in the region.
Deepen regional cooperation and strengthen media integrity and artificial intelligence governance. ASEAN and its 10+3 partners should promote interoperable standards for content verification, transparency in algorithmic decision-making, and build a cross-border fact-checking network. Cooperation must be based on respect for national conditions, while also enabling cooperation when disinformation threatens regional stability and public health.
Strengthen capacity building and media literacy. Training for media practitioners should be strengthened in areas such as the use of artificial intelligence tools, ethical reporting, and platform governance. The week-long media workshop after the forum is a good opportunity to transform dialogue into skills, joint projects, and lasting partnerships.
ASEAN's consensus-building spirit, respect for diversity, and sound cooperative interactions have laid a solid foundation for enhancing media credibility and strengthening social cohesion.

Pragmatic Cooperation for Co-construction and Win-Win Results
Vansay Tavinyane (万赛·塔汶炎), Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party and Editor-in-Chief of the Lao People's Daily (老挝《人民报》)
This meeting is an important meeting for ASEAN and China, Japan, and South Korea media cooperation, aimed at enhancing mutual understanding, strengthening cooperation, promoting media work to a higher level, and achieving common interests.
Over the years, Lao media has always adhered to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, adhered to the purposes of the Charter of the United Nations, and supported all peace-loving countries. Lao media reports have always been based on facts, focusing on economic and social development achievements, as well as the modernization processes of ASEAN, China, Japan, and South Korea.
For a long time, Lao media has maintained close cooperation with ASEAN countries and China, Japan, and South Korea, especially benefiting from professional capacity building, experience exchange, and equipment assistance. These collaborations have injected vitality into Lao media, enabling us to fulfill our responsibilities more efficiently and continuously consolidate cooperative relationships with various countries.
In recent years, countries such as China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and South Korea have invested heavily in Laos, promoting Laos' continuous development in the exchange of technology and knowledge. Especially after the completion of the China-Laos Railway project, Laos' tourism industry has ushered in significant growth. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, the number of international tourists entering Laos reached 1.2 million.
We will continue to support countries in strengthening interconnectivity, promoting co-construction and win-win results, and promoting ASEAN and China, Japan, and South Korea cooperation towards a more brilliant future.

Joining Hands to Reshape the Landscape of Public Opinion
An Xiaoyu (安晓宇), Executive Deputy Editor-in-Chief of CGTN, China Media Group (中央广播电视总台) and Director of the Asia-Africa Center
Since the establishment of the ASEAN Plus Three (APT) cooperation mechanism, it has adhered to the Asian values of peace, cooperation, openness, and inclusiveness, and has continuously promoted the process of economic integration. In this process, media cooperation has effectively helped East Asia become the most dynamic region in the world.
China Media Group (中央广播电视总台) is working closely with media from various countries in the region to strengthen close cooperation. In April of this year, during President Xi Jinping's (习近平) state visits to Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia, "Xi Jinping's Use of Classical Allusions," produced by China Media Group (中央广播电视总台), was broadcast on mainstream media in Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, and other countries, triggering enthusiastic responses. Programs such as "Xi Jinping's Cultural Connections" and "Vibrant China" were simultaneously broadcast locally, opening a window of thought for Southeast Asian people to understand Chinese civilization and understand Chinese-style modernization. A number of television programs have been jointly launched with mainstream media in ASEAN and Japan and South Korea, and activities that connect people's hearts and are down-to-earth, such as the Pilgrimage to the Holy Land of Calligraphy for Chinese and Japanese Youth and the New Dialogue between Chinese and Korean Z Generations, have been launched in many countries in the region.
Since 2024, China Media Group (中央广播电视总台) has signed 23 cooperation documents with Brunei, Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, and other countries, involving content exchange, joint production, cultural exchange, and personnel exchanges.
We are willing to work with our counterparts from various countries to jointly meet new challenges, promote the construction of a more just, peaceful, and reasonable international public opinion landscape, and jointly convey the just voice of opposing hegemony, speaking fairly, and acting with integrity.

Achieving Consensus and Strengthening Interconnectivity
Phan Van Hung (潘文雄), Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Vietnamese People's Daily (越南《人民报》)
Today's world is undergoing profound and complex changes. Peace, development, and cooperation remain the mainstream, but we also face traditional and non-traditional security threats such as economic, trade, and technological competition, local wars, and climate change. Against this background, we need to strengthen comprehensive connectivity and development linkages to jointly address global and regional challenges.
Regional cooperation in East Asia has been remarkably effective. Recently, China and the ten ASEAN countries comprehensively completed the negotiations on Version 3.0 of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, marking a breakthrough in economic and trade relations in new fields such as the digital economy, green economy, and supply chains. It is committed to building a comprehensive, modern, and mutually beneficial agreement to deepen regional economic integration. China and Vietnam are strengthening the alignment of the "Belt and Road" initiative and the "Two Corridors and One Economic Circle" strategy to promote railway connectivity between China and Vietnam and promote economic and trade cooperation, cultural tourism exchanges, and people-to-people exchanges.
Strengthening interconnectivity requires not only focusing on the "hardware" connection of infrastructure but also on the "software" connection, including enhancing awareness, building consensus, and promoting people-to-people connectivity. The media shoulders an important mission in this process. Mainstream media in various countries should create a public opinion environment for cooperative development through accurate and objective information dissemination.
In recent years, the Vietnamese People's Daily (越南《人民报》) has actively promoted cooperation with authoritative media around the world and signed a memorandum of cooperation with the People's Daily (人民日报社) to promote regional and global interconnectivity and development linkages. We are willing to work with media partners to jointly build efficient "software infrastructure" for the region and the world and promote interconnectivity and win-win cooperation.

Seizing Opportunities and Promoting Mutual Learning Among Civilizations
Pei Jianrong (裴剑容), Deputy Director of the Overseas News Department of Xinhua News Agency (新华社)
In Kunming (昆明), Yunnan (云南), we exchanged ideas and sparked wisdom around the theme of "Building New Momentum, Sharing New Opportunities, Building Consensus, and Building a Humanistic and Interconnected East Asia," which is of particular importance.
China, Japan, and South Korea and ASEAN countries are geographically close, have close ties with each other, and have cultural connections. The history of exchanges has a long history. At present, the world is undergoing accelerated changes, and the international situation is intertwined with changes and chaos. Against such a background, Asian media urgently needs to gather wisdom and strength to promote common development.
The key to sound relations between states lies in amity between their peoples, and the key to amity between their peoples lies in mutual understanding. ASEAN and China, Japan, and South Korea (10+3) cooperation at the national level has made important contributions to maintaining regional stability and promoting regional development. The media plays a bridge role in promoting people-to-people connectivity in ASEAN and China, Japan, and South Korea cooperation, playing an important and unique role.
It is hoped that Asian media colleagues will focus on improving the level of narration, use true, three-dimensional, and diverse narratives to show the development and construction achievements of Asian countries, improve the independent communication system, and enhance the global influence of Asian voices. Actively embrace the wave of technological change, seize the media revolution opportunities brought about by the development and widespread application of generative artificial intelligence technology, expand exchanges and cooperation in the field of new media technology applications, promote mainstream media in Asia and even the world to actively participate in the formulation of artificial intelligence rules, and guide the healthy and virtuous development of technology. Deepen media dialogue and cultural exchanges, give play to the role of existing media platforms, and demonstrate the achievements of civilization exchanges and mutual learning through pragmatic cooperation.

Leveraging the Media to Promote Peace and Prosperity
Min Kyaw, Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information of Myanmar
The theme of this forum, "Connectivity, Co-creation, and Co-sharing," fully reflects the common vision of countries in various regions to strengthen ties and promote cooperation, especially in economic, social, and cultural development. This theme is very instructive.
The ASEAN Plus Three (APT) cooperation mechanism is a key engine of global economic growth and an important hub for technological innovation and cultural exchange, but it also faces many challenges such as trade gaps, population aging, and climate change.
In addressing these challenges, the role of the media is crucial. The media is not only an important channel for information dissemination but also an important bridge for promoting public understanding and cooperation. In promoting regional cooperation, the Myanmar media has been committed to providing true and accurate information and promoting social exchange and cultural integration. Through the power of the media, we can further deepen 10+3 cooperation, especially in digital technology, artificial intelligence, and media modernization.
As President Xi Jinping (习近平) said: "A single flower does not make spring, while a hundred flowers in full bloom bring spring to the garden." This sentence profoundly explains the importance of diversity. Diversity is the essence of human social development and the basis of regional cooperation.
On behalf of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, I would like to reaffirm our commitment to strengthening 10+3 media cooperation. This cooperation will not only promote understanding and trust between us but also promote peace and prosperity in the region.

Taking Active Action to Create a Better Future
Yao Ying (姚英), Director of the Commentary Department of China Daily
At present, unilateralism and protectionism are spreading, and the global economy is full of uncertainty. As an important engine of global economic growth, Asia has always played a key role as a "stabilizer" and "source of power." Among them, the ASEAN Plus Three (APT) cooperation mechanism has become an important platform for promoting political security, economic coordination, and social and cultural exchanges in East Asia after years of development and is an indispensable force for regional cooperation.
We should continue to promote policy communication, facility connectivity, trade facilitation, financial integration, and people-to-people connectivity, and jointly build an Asian community with a shared future and a community with a shared future for mankind.
Strengthening Asian regional cooperation and deepening civilization dialogue is not only related to regional peace, stability, and prosperity but also has far-reaching significance for promoting the transformation of the global governance system. As the main channel for information dissemination, the link for cultural exchanges, and the promoter of consensus building, the media should take the initiative, take active action, and become an important force for enhancing mutual understanding and promoting common development.
China Daily has always been committed to promoting Asian regional cooperation and cultural exchanges. Through the Asia News Network, an important platform, we work closely with 20 mainstream media from 19 Asian countries to jointly tell Asian stories.
China Daily is willing to work with media colleagues from various countries to work together to achieve the beautiful vision of building a "peaceful and tranquil, jointly prosperous, open and integrated Asia."

Building Mutual Trust and Gathering Benevolent Strength
Surat Lakaesem (素拉塔·拉卡赛穆), Director-General of the Thai Public Relations Department
For more than a decade, the ASEAN Plus Three (APT) cooperation mechanism has brought ASEAN, China, Japan, and South Korea together and has become the cornerstone of stability and prosperity in East Asia. The mechanism promotes dialogue among all parties, deepens economic ties, and builds a foundation of trust among countries. In this process, the media plays a powerful connecting role, helping people from all countries understand and recognize our common vision for development.
The world is currently facing many complex challenges that transcend national borders, and we must work together to address them. By promoting "Asian consciousness" and using "Eastern wisdom," we can provide a new model for global cooperation. This wisdom lies not only in looking inward but also in using our shared values of "harmony," "respect," and "long-term vision" to build a better future for all mankind.
Interconnectivity of the media means not only connecting news organizations or sharing content from various countries but also building a close network of interpersonal connections to enhance mutual understanding and trust. We must use our own platforms to tell stories that unite people's hearts, highlight common goals, and prove to the world that our cooperation is a positive and benevolent force.
Humanity is a community with a shared future. Our prosperity is interconnected, our security benefits each other, and the challenges we face require collective action. As the media, we have a responsibility to turn this vision into reality through concrete stories.

Enhancing Understanding and Building Friendly Relations
Chikazawa Moriyasu (近泽守康), Director of the International Department of Kyodo News (共同通讯社)
Japan and China have a long history of exchanges. As of 2025, the overall relationship between Japan and China is relatively stable. Currently, a large number of Chinese tourists are traveling to Japan to enjoy sightseeing and shopping. Visa-free travel to China has been implemented for Japanese tourists, and it is expected that more Japanese people will visit China in the future.
As a Japanese proverb derived from China says, 百闻不如一见 (bǎi wén bù rú yī jiàn - "seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times," seeing for oneself is a hundred times better than hearing about it), citizens of the two countries should further deepen direct people-to-people exchanges to enhance mutual understanding and thus build long-term and stable friendly relations.
With the continuous advancement of digital transformation, the circulation of print media is declining, and a profitable model that is comparable to subscription fees has not yet been established. In the digital field, it is not easy for operators to achieve profitability at this stage, and blockbuster content that people are willing to pay for is not available everywhere. Against this background, it is of great significance for Japan to accurately understand what is happening in China now, and it is no exaggeration to call it "blockbuster content."
Faced with the dual challenges of media industry transformation and the growing demand for information connectivity, media organizations in East Asia should strengthen exchanges and cooperation to achieve a higher level of interconnection and deeper mutual understanding. I hope that media outlets in various countries will use interconnected digital technologies to exchange content, benefit each other, and jointly build a win-win relationship.

Return to TopWuzhishan City (五指山市), Hainan Province (海南省), is filled with rainforest mists and verdant tea mountains. Tea farmers from Shuiman Township (水满乡), carrying tea baskets, weave through the cloud-shrouded tea ridges, their fingertips deftly picking large-leaf tea leaves.
The tea industry has always been an important industry in Wuzhishan City (五指山市). Since 2022, Wuzhishan City (五指山市) has actively implemented the development policy of "general survey, pure breed, expansion, and increased volume." Today, the tea garden area has increased from 0.98 million mu to 1.86 million mu.
In recent years, Wuzhishan City (五指山市) has followed the instruction to "manage the tea business well and make life more prosperous," adhered to the approach of "ecological industrialization and industrial ecology," broadened the path of transforming green waters and green mountains into gold and silver mountains, and relied on Wuzhishan black tea to promote the realization of ecological product value and green and low-carbon transformation, embarking on a path of high-quality development of the tea industry.
Ecological Foundation
Nature's Gift Creates Excellent Quality
Wuzhishan large-leaf tea grows in the core area of the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park (海南热带雨林国家公园). Wuzhishan City (五指山市) has an altitude of 1867 meters, a latitude of approximately 18.77 degrees north, an average annual rainfall of 1887 mm, and an average annual sunshine duration of 1897 hours. The superior natural ecological conditions provide an ideal environment for the growth of large-leaf tea. The forest coverage around the tea area reaches 90%, and the concentration of negative oxygen ions exceeds 10,000 per cubic centimeter, making it a veritable "natural oxygen bar." The annual average PM2.5 value remains in the single digits, and the air is clean and fresh.
In 1984, the Hainan large-leaf variety (海南大叶种), originally produced in Wuzhishan (五指山), was recognized as a national-level fine variety (Huacha No. 16) (华茶16号). In 1985, Wuzhishan black tea blended with Yunnan tea won a gold medal in the World Black Tea Competition. In recent years, Wuzhishan tea has been widely favored by consumers due to its excellent quality. These are all due to Wuzhishan City's (五指山市) adherence to ecological foundation and green development.
Wuzhishan City (五指山市) adheres to the entire process of ecologicalization "from tea garden to teacup." The carbon footprint accounting results show that the greenhouse gas emissions of Wuzhishan large-leaf tea throughout its life cycle are 5.39 kg of carbon dioxide equivalent/kg, making it a veritable green and low-carbon product. On May 30, 2025, Wuzhishan City (五指山市) issued the "Wuzhishan City Shuiman Township 'Five Zeros' Comprehensive Green Organic Agriculture Construction Work Plan (2025-2027)" (《五指山市水满乡“五零”全域绿色有机农业建设工作方案（2025—2027年）》), and is making every effort to create a new "five zeros" agricultural model in Shuiman Township (水满乡) with zero fertilizer, zero chemical pesticides, zero mulch film, zero hormones, and zero herbicides, laying a solid foundation for the green ecological core competitiveness of Wuzhishan rainforest large-leaf tea.
Technological Empowerment
Industry-University-Research Collaboration Drives Innovation and Development
Wuzhishan City (五指山市) adheres to empowering the entire tea industry chain with technology for high-quality development. On May 20, 2024, Wuzhishan City (五指山市) held a press conference on the research results of Hainan large-leaf tea genetic resource diversity research and genome-assisted breeding technology development. The research results show that Hainan large-leaf tea has a genetic background different from traditional cultivated large-leaf tea and small-leaf tea, and is a new Camellia species that has been confirmed and discovered.
Wuzhishan City (五指山市) adheres to industry-university-research collaboration to promote the innovative development of the tea industry. Taking Wuzhishan black tea as the base, it is precisely blended with black tea raw materials from countries co-building the "Belt and Road" ("一带一路"), drawing on the strengths of others, and developing high-quality "Belt and Road" island black tea; Wuzhishan black tea acid yogurt and other products developed with Wuzhishan black tea and wild vegetables as characteristic raw materials have been widely praised once they were launched. In addition, the Wuzhishan rainforest large-leaf tea intensive processing demonstration production line has been built and put into operation, which has continuously enriched the tea product forms and empowered the improvement of tea raw material utilization and product added value.
Prospering the Industry with Tea
Full-Chain Integration Activates Development Momentum
Wuzhishan City (五指山市) takes "full-chain upgrading and multi-format integration" as the starting point to build a three-dimensional development matrix of "tea industry + cultural tourism." Through the "leading enterprise + cooperative + farmer" model, it integrates 131 tea-related business entities to form a complete industrial chain system from planting and processing to sales.
In 2024, Wuzhishan City (五指山市) released and implemented three "Wuzhishan Tropical Rainforest Large-Leaf Tea Group Standards" (《五指山热带雨林大叶茶团体标准》), promoted 23 tea companies to renovate processing workshops, and built 1,250 mu of organic tea garden demonstration bases. It has held the "Early Spring Tea Picking Festival" for nine consecutive years, promoting the accelerated transformation of ecological advantages into new momentum for tea tourism integration. In 2024, Maona Village (毛纳村) in Wuzhishan City (五指山市) received a cumulative total of 170,200 tourists, realizing a tourism income of 8.5122 million yuan. In July 2025, Wuzhishan City (五指山市) launched the "Rural Revitalization Tea Tourism Integration Project" with a total investment of over 1.2 billion yuan, focusing on building a smart agricultural tea tourism integration demonstration park integrating tea processing, cultural experience, and leisure sightseeing, and further consolidating the tea tourism integration development matrix.
Building a Brand
Relying on the Hainan Free Trade Port to Go to the World
Wuzhishan black tea has the characteristic qualities of "bright soup color, rich aroma, mellow taste, and lasting aftertaste." The brand influence and reputation of Wuzhishan black tea from the "Qiongdao Secret Realm Wuzhishan, Rainforest Black Tea Essence Area" is continuously improving. In 2015, Wuzhishan black tea was granted agricultural product geographical indication registration certification and was officially listed as a national-level famous, high-quality, and special product.
In 2024, Wuzhishan rainforest large-leaf tea was selected into the 2024 Agricultural Product Regional Public Brand List of the China Agricultural Brand Directory, becoming the only tea brand selected in Hainan Province (海南省).
With the Hainan Free Trade Port (海南自由贸易港) closing in, tea, as a characteristic agricultural product of China, has broad market prospects in international trade and cultural exchange. From rainforest to teacup, this "small leaf" from the tropical rainforest is gradually becoming a "golden leaf" for enriching the people and revitalizing the industry, continuously helping the comprehensive revitalization of Wuzhishan City's (五指山市) countryside, and adding a continuous impetus to achieving the "dual carbon" goals.

Core Reading
China has built the world's largest carbon emission trading market and it is operating stably; as of the end of August, the cumulative transaction volume of the national carbon emission trading market was nearly 700 million tons... The construction of the national carbon market has entered a new stage.
How to promote the construction of a more effective, more dynamic, and more internationally influential national carbon market? A reporter interviewed experts to interpret this.
On September 24, the "2025 China Carbon Market Conference" was held in Shanghai (上海). The meeting introduced that as of the end of August, the cumulative transaction volume of the national carbon emission trading market was nearly 700 million tons.
Recently, the State Council Information Office's series of thematic press conferences on "High-Quality Completion of the '14th Five-Year Plan'" introduced that China has built the world's largest carbon emission trading market and it is operating stably, covering more than 60% of the country's carbon emissions. China's first central document in the carbon market field, the "Opinions of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (中共中央办公厅) and the General Office of the State Council (国务院办公厅) on Promoting Green and Low-Carbon Transition and Strengthening the Construction of the National Carbon Market" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), was issued, which will provide a more complete institutional guarantee and stronger capacity support for the construction of the national carbon market.
What development process has China's carbon market construction experienced? What role has it played? What areas still need to be improved? The reporter interviewed Zhang Xiliang (张希良), Director of the Institute of Energy, Environment and Economy of Tsinghua University (清华大学) and Chairman of the Carbon Emission Trading Professional Committee of the Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences (中国环境科学学会).
China's carbon emission trading market construction is steadily advancing, promoting the construction of a more effective, more dynamic, and more internationally influential national carbon market.
"In recent years, China's carbon emission trading market construction has been steadily advancing," Zhang Xiliang (张希良) introduced. From the establishment of pilot provinces and cities in 2011 to the start of carbon trading in pilot provinces and cities in 2013, and then to the official launch of the national carbon market in 2017, China has adopted the approach of "pilot first, then national" to build the national carbon market.
"The issuance of the 'Opinions' promotes the construction of a more effective, more dynamic, and more internationally influential national carbon market. Among them, the 'Opinions' propose to coordinate the national carbon emission trading market and the carbon markets carried out by relevant local pilots. No new local or regional carbon emission trading markets will be built," Zhang Xiliang (张希良) added. "Of course, the construction of the national carbon market still faces the problem of how to further improve efficiency and vitality. The existing pilot provincial and municipal carbon markets can continue to play a pioneering role, especially in enriching market participants and developing carbon market-based financial products."
The "Opinions" clearly put forward the "timetable" and "roadmap" for the development of the national carbon market. In terms of specific implementation, Zhang Xiliang (张希良) said that there are currently three very critical aspects of work: first, to achieve effective connection between the national carbon market and the national carbon emission "dual control" as soon as possible, and focus on building a national carbon market that can confirm and price 70% of the country's carbon emissions; second, to introduce paid allocation of quotas as soon as possible, to provide necessary means for government departments to effectively manage and guide carbon prices, and also to provide support for continuously improving the operational efficiency of the carbon market; and third, to strengthen the management of the two registration agencies and two trading institutions of the carbon market, and enhance the ability to prevent various carbon market risks.
Mandatory carbon market and voluntary carbon market develop together, and enterprises generally have a consensus that "carbon emissions have costs, and carbon reduction has benefits."
At present, China has established a national carbon emission trading market (mandatory carbon market) for key emission units to fulfill mandatory emission reduction responsibilities and a national greenhouse gas voluntary emission reduction trading market (voluntary carbon market) to encourage social voluntary emission reduction. The two carbon markets operate independently and together constitute the national carbon market system. How do they complement each other? What are the effects?
Zhang Xiliang (张希良) introduced that the mandatory carbon market will control more than 70% of the country's carbon emissions in the future. On the one hand, the voluntary carbon market can reduce greenhouse gas emissions that the mandatory carbon market cannot control. On the other hand, with the help of the offset mechanism, key emission enterprises in the mandatory carbon market can also complete their compliance responsibilities by purchasing CCER (China Certified Emission Reduction), optimizing the combination of enterprise compliance methods. "The current collaboration between the two markets is in its initial stage. Common development can not only increase the amount of greenhouse gas emission reduction under the carbon trading mechanism, but also further reduce the cost of greenhouse gas emission reduction for the whole society."
In March of this year, the mandatory carbon market expanded for the first time, including the steel, cement, and aluminum smelting industries, covering more than 60% of the country's total carbon dioxide emissions.
"The identification of the first batch of expansion lists comprehensively considered several factors: industries with higher carbon emission ratios are given relatively priority to be included, industries with lower data quality assurance difficulty are given relatively priority to be included, and industries with small quota allocation difficulty and good foundation are given relatively priority to be included," Zhang Xiliang (张希良) said.
The construction of the national carbon market is having a series of impacts on key industry enterprises.
"For example, for an enterprise with great emission reduction difficulty, in the absence of a carbon market, completing the emission reduction task puts pressure on the enterprise's production and operation; while with a carbon market, the enterprise can complete the emission reduction task by purchasing carbon emission quotas or carbon emission reduction indicators on the carbon market at a price lower than its own emission reduction cost, minimizing the impact on the enterprise's production and operation. For an enterprise with small emission reduction difficulty, in the absence of a carbon market, it could have overfulfilled the emission reduction task, but if there is no benefit to more emission reduction, it may not be willing to reduce more emissions; in the presence of a carbon market, if the carbon emission quota price is higher than its own carbon emission reduction cost, it will be willing to reduce emissions additionally to obtain income," Zhang Xiliang (张希良) said. Nowadays, enterprises generally have a consensus that "carbon emissions have costs, and carbon reduction has benefits."
A multi-level and relatively complete carbon market legal and regulatory system has been initially formed, and the national carbon market management capacity building is constantly strengthened.
The "Opinions" propose to establish and improve a management system that is adapted to the development stage of the national carbon market, conducive to strengthening unified supervision and management, with clear powers and responsibilities, and efficient operation. Strengthen the national carbon market management capacity building.
In terms of the carbon market legal and regulatory system—
At present, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (生态环境部) has formulated more than 30 systems and technical specifications in conjunction with relevant departments, initially forming a multi-level and relatively complete carbon market legal and regulatory system.
"Take the carbon market data quality that people are concerned about, for example. Enterprises submitting honest and accurate carbon emission reports and submitting quotas equal to their own emissions at the time of compliance are the cornerstone of the carbon market's effectiveness. The 'Interim Regulations on the Management of Carbon Emission Trading (碳排放权交易管理暂行条例),' promulgated and implemented in 2024, clarifies the responsibility of enterprises to submit carbon emission reports and complete quota compliance, and stipulates penalties for controlled emission enterprises and third-party verification agencies for failing to submit emission reports on time, failing to complete quota compliance on time, and data fraud," Zhang Xiliang (张希良) introduced. In the future, applying technologies such as blockchain, big data, and artificial intelligence to the construction of the carbon market will also help improve the quality of carbon market data.
In terms of carbon emission quota management—
"The 'Opinions' propose to gradually shift from intensity control to total control. By 2027, quota total control will be given priority to industries with relatively stable total carbon emissions," Zhang Xiliang (张希良) said. "In this transition, it is crucial to scientifically set the total quota. The total amount setting should fully reflect the requirements of the national carbon emission overall control target, clarify the contribution of the emission reduction achieved by the carbon market to the completion of the national carbon emission reduction target, and also consider the future trends of China's economic structure and growth rate changes."
In terms of the carbon emission accounting system—
Zhang Xiliang (张希良) believes that to continuously improve the carbon emission accounting system, first, we must consolidate the main responsibility of key emission units and third-party verification agencies for data quality; second, we must continuously optimize the enterprise carbon emission accounting method system in combination with the needs of quota allocation and carbon emission verification work; third, we must develop and promote enterprise material detection and information collection technologies, expand the scope of actual measurement of key parameters of major carbon emission factors, increase the intensity of actual measurement, and continuously improve the accuracy and reliability of carbon emission accounting; and fourth, we must introduce carbon emission continuous online detection technology in industries with conditions, and carry out joint detection of enterprise materials and flue gas.
In terms of the carbon pricing mechanism—
"The factors affecting carbon pricing include the strength of the country's near, medium, and long-term carbon emission reduction targets, as well as the establishment and industrialization development of future low-carbon, zero-carbon, and negative-carbon technology systems," Zhang Xiliang (张希良) said. To improve the carbon pricing mechanism with the carbon market as the main body, on the one hand, we must fully reflect the decisive role of the market in the allocation of carbon emission resources; on the other hand, we should also recognize that the government should effectively use and make full use of policies such as total amount setting, quota allocation, transaction variety establishment, transaction subject access, market rules, and standard formulation.

Consolidating the cornerstone of the rule of law and adhering to the advancement of ecological civilization construction and ecological environmental protection on the track of the rule of law are the only ways to protect our green mountains and clear waters and provide a strong guarantee for building a beautiful China where humans and nature coexist harmoniously.
Recently, the 17th meeting of the 14th National People's Congress Standing Committee (全国人大常委会) deliberated on the draft of the General Provisions of the Environmental Code, the draft of the Ecological Protection Volume, and the draft of the Green and Low-Carbon Development Volume. As China's second law named "Code," the legislative process of the Environmental Code has attracted much attention. The draft of the Environmental Code is divided into five volumes and was first submitted to the National People's Congress Standing Committee (全国人大常委会) for deliberation in April this year, followed by soliciting public opinions. This marks a further improvement in the level of rule of law in China's ecological environment governance, providing a solid legal guarantee for safeguarding the beautiful China with evergreen mountains, clear waters, and fresh air.
Over the years, China has formulated a series of laws and regulations represented by the Environmental Protection Law (环境保护法), making the ecological environment legal system more complete, the legal cornerstone of ecological environment governance more solid, and the legal guarantee for the construction of a beautiful China further strengthened.
China has a vast territory, complex landforms, and large differences in ecological environments, and it faces some new situations and new problems in the practice of ecological environmental protection. Therefore, the Environmental Code should not be a simple "compilation" but should adopt a moderately codified model. For example, relatively mature, clearly regulated, and sufficiently experienced institutional provisions in areas such as pollution prevention and control can be incorporated into the Code. The current legal and regulatory norms concerning river basins, regions, natural resources, and biodiversity should be selectively incorporated into or reflected in the Environmental Code. For aspects such as addressing climate change, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and green and low-carbon development, for which no specific laws have yet been formulated, principled and guiding provisions should be made in the Code. This ensures both the logical self-consistency of the Code and reserves space for individual laws to adjust to complex regional ecological differences, leaving room for subsequent legal improvements and local institutional innovation.
Continuously promoting the construction of ecological civilization under the rule of law requires the concerted efforts of law enforcement, judiciary, and public awareness, in addition to high-quality legislation. In recent years, national public security organs have continuously deployed special actions and special work such as "Kunlun (昆仑)" and "Peaceful Wilderness (平安原野)," severely cracking down on crimes endangering wild animals such as birds in accordance with the law. From January 2024 to May 2025, national procuratorial organs handled a total of 74,000 public interest litigations in the field of ecological environment and resource protection, effectively promoting the resolution of a number of prominent ecological environment problems. People's courts have promoted environmental resource trial work, and in 2024, they fairly and justly concluded 219,000 first-instance cases of various environmental resources in accordance with the law. Various regions have used sports events, community activities, campus lectures, and other forms to carry out public awareness activities in the field of ecological environment, making the concept that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets (绿水青山就是金山银山)" more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Consolidating the cornerstone of the rule of law and adhering to the advancement of ecological civilization construction and ecological environmental protection on the track of the rule of law are the only ways to protect our green mountains and clear waters and provide a strong guarantee for building a beautiful China where humans and nature coexist harmoniously.

In September, Inner Mongolia Hulunbuir (内蒙古呼伦贝尔), driving on the road to Hulun Lake (呼伦湖), rows of cylindrical haystacks are particularly eye-catching.
"These are all forage harvested by herdsmen," said a staff member of the Hulunbuir Forestry and Grassland Bureau (呼伦贝尔市林业和草原局). "The forage grew well this year, and the yield is also good."
Every year in August and September, it is the annual haymaking season in the Hulunbuir grassland. This year, more than 30 million mu of natural hayfields in the Hulunbuir grassland have achieved a bumper harvest, and herdsmen can be seen everywhere busy mowing, drying, and baling grass.
"The seasonality of haymaking is very strong, and it must be harvested as soon as possible after the forage matures." The person in charge of the Hulunbuir Forestry and Grassland Bureau (呼伦贝尔市林业和草原局) pointed to a row of mowing machines in operation and said, "We have promoted a socialized service system for haymaking in 4 banners. In the past, it took four or five people a month to work on a thousand mu of grassland. Now, with mechanized operations, it can be completed in two or three days."
The forage quality of the Hulunbuir grassland is high, which can not only ensure the overwintering of livestock, but also be sold to nearby areas lacking grass. In order to achieve the sustainable development of the grassland, the Hulunbuir grassland has implemented a strict protection system in recent years, and constantly promoted the coordination of ecological protection and production utilization.
The reporter came to a pasture, and saw that the haystacks were piled more densely than other places, and the color was brighter.
"This is our forage breeding and forage base." The person in charge of the site introduced, "The Hulunbuir grassland is a natural pasture, but the forage also needs variety optimization. These high-quality forages are bred from improved varieties, and have been very popular among herdsmen since their promotion." With the support of the National Forage Technology Innovation Center (国家草业技术创新中心), this base adopts customized configuration to meet the needs of various grassland seed uses.
"The grassland ecology is good, and the forage has a bumper harvest." Wang Wangsheng (王旺盛), Secretary of the Hulunbuir Municipal Party Committee (呼伦贝尔市委书记), said, "We must continue to protect the ecological environment and make the ecology of the Hulunbuir grassland better and better."

Red wax begonias, yellow chrysanthemums, pink pentas… On the eve of National Day, 850 pots of special flowers were integrated into the National Day-themed flower beds along Chang'an Avenue (长安街) in Beijing (北京).
"These were all carefully cultivated by Beijing (北京) citizens," said Tang Shuifeng (汤水凤), a fourth-level researcher at the Liaison Division of the Capital Greening Committee Office (首都绿化委员会办公室). Prior to this, after the "Thousands of Families and Ten Thousand Pots of Flowers Bless the Motherland" activity, these flowers were selected from 10,000 pots of flowers cultivated by citizens.
Tang Shuifeng (汤水凤) introduced that in May of this year, Beijing (北京) launched the "Thousands of Families and Ten Thousand Pots of Flowers Bless the Motherland" activity, distributing free flower seedlings such as pentas and wax begonias, as well as supporting planting materials, to citizens, encouraging them to plant them by hand and beautify the city. 1,000 households from 16 districts including Dongcheng (东城), Xicheng (西城), Chaoyang (朝阳), Haidian (海淀), and Huairou (怀柔) actively participated, carefully cultivating a total of 10,000 pots of various flowers.
"In this activity, Dongcheng District (东城区) cultivated more than 2,000 flower seedlings, involving more than 10 kinds of annual flowers and more than 10 varieties of chrysanthemums," introduced Zhang Zhipengcheng (张志鹏程), head of the Greening Section of the Dongcheng District (东城区) Landscaping Bureau.
These flowers, carefully cultivated by citizens, debuted on Chang'an Avenue (长安街) on the eve of National Day, mainly placed in the "Green Life" theme flower bed in the southwest corner of Xidan (西单) and the "Glorious Course" theme flower bed in the northeast corner of Dongdan (东单). This is also the second time that Beijing (北京) has gathered the wishes of citizens in this way to express their best wishes for the prosperity of the motherland and the peace and prosperity of the country and its people (国泰民安 - guó tài mín ān - "country peace people safe," the country is prosperous and the people live in peace).
After the National Day, the Capital Greening Committee Office (首都绿化委员会办公室) will continue to carry out the "National Day Flower Bed Flowers to My Home" activity. At that time, when the flower beds along Chang'an Avenue (长安街) are dismantled, the flowers that are still in bloom will be given to citizen representatives to convey the concept of practicing thrift and continue to promote the high-quality development of the capital's garden city.

Inside the exhibition hall, intelligent equipment and agricultural products are displayed in an organized manner; in the negotiation area, entrepreneurs communicate details and sign contracts; outside the venue, domestic and foreign merchants "team up" to visit project sites, observe the business environment, discuss investment prospects, and experience the charm and vitality of Liaoning...
On September 25th, the 6th China Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair opened in Shenyang (沈阳). More than 1,000 corporate executives, including Fortune 500 companies, and leaders from over 20 business associations gathered in Liaoning (辽宁), with 21 key projects signed at the opening ceremony.
In 2020, the first Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair was successfully held, building a bridge for mutually beneficial cooperation between Liaoning and both domestic and international entities. In 2021, it was upgraded to a national-level exhibition, and in 2024, it was renamed "China." For six consecutive sessions, the Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair has arrived as scheduled, bringing fruitful results of opening up and cooperation to Liaoning.
From planning to hosting, from negotiation to signing, the Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair reflects Liaoning's firm steps in deepening high-level opening up to the outside world, and demonstrates Liaoning's firm confidence and pragmatic actions in building a hub for open cooperation in Northeast Asia.
Gathering Resources, Promoting Cooperation
Showcasing New Opportunities for Investing in Liaoning
"Having participated in several Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fairs, I feel that each session is more exciting than the last. We plan to continue increasing investment in Liaoning," said Xiu Laigui (修涞贵), Chairman of Xiuzheng Pharmaceutical, at the 6th Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair. They will continue to invest in expanding the park and increasing production capacity, achieving common development and growth in cooperation with Liaoning.
Expanding horizons, gathering consensus, building platforms, and promoting cooperation, the Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair has become a shining name card for Liaoning, attracting more companies to pay attention to Liaoning, and more high-quality projects and outstanding talents to flock to Liaoning, injecting strong impetus into the local area to achieve a new breakthrough in comprehensive revitalization.
In the technical renovation workshop of General Technology Shenyang Machine Tool, multiple five-axis CNC machine tools are lined up. With the help of technologies such as "5G + Industrial Internet," this place has become a "dark factory." After parts enter the digital production line, they are transferred to the machine tools by unmanned transport vehicles, which can realize fully automatic and uninterrupted processing, significantly improving production efficiency.
Since the beginning of this year, General Technology Shenyang Machine Tool has successively won large orders, and a single contract in the new energy field alone exceeded 100 million yuan. "In recent years, China General Technology Group has comprehensively promoted the strategic cooperation with Liaoning Province to develop in depth, deeply participated in the construction of the Shenyang-Dalian industrial machine tool industry cluster and the co-chain action, and increased investment in scientific research and technical transformation of key enterprises such as Shenyang Machine Tool and Dalian Machine Tool, and developed a variety of high-end CNC machine tool products," said Yu Xubo (于旭波), Party Secretary and Chairman of China General Technology Group. "We will take the Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair as an opportunity to work with Chinese and foreign companies to explore new opportunities and jointly build a new highland for business development."
In recent years, Liaoning has built platforms, gathered resources, and attracted more investors to invest in Liaoning by holding a series of major events such as the Summer Davos Forum, the Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair, and the China-Russia Local Investment Development and Trade Cooperation Conference. Since the beginning of this year, Liaoning has successfully held the Pearl River Delta Investment Promotion Week and other activities.
The scale of this year's Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair has reached a record high. Four "Invest in Liaoning" international economic and trade matchmaking activities, three bilateral economic, trade, cultural and tourism cooperation and exchange activities, a symposium between Liaoning and central enterprises, and a trade negotiation and matchmaking activity between Liaoning and Hebei key industries are all distinctive; a series of new quality productivity sharing activities, 46 supporting economic and trade investment activities, 63 cultural and tourism brand activities, the 2nd Liaoning Business Conference, and the 22nd Shenyang Korea Week are all wonderful.
The scene of distinguished guests is an affirmation of the continuous optimization of Liaoning's development environment. From January to August this year, the amount of funds in place for investment promotion in Liaoning Province was 764.32 billion yuan, an increase of 12.7% year-on-year.
Stabilizing Economy and Trade, Promoting Opening Up
Creating a New Pattern of Revitalization and Development
The theme exhibition of the 6th Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair has a more open pattern. The number of international exhibitors has increased by 26% year-on-year, and the degree of international participation has reached a new high in the history of the Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair.
In the Korean exhibition area of the International Commodity Pavilion, various forms of automotive filter screens attracted many merchants to stop and learn about them. Wu Yingji (吴英姬), Minister of the Business Department of Shenyang Jinming Micro Filter Network Co., Ltd., introduced that South Korea is the guest of honor at this year's Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair. The company has brought a variety of products to participate in the exhibition, hoping to expand its "circle of friends" with the help of the Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair.
In recent years, Liaoning has adhered to the two-way efforts of "bringing in" and "going out," accelerated the construction of a hub for open cooperation in Northeast Asia, focused on building an important sea and land gateway for the country to connect with Northeast Asia and communicate with the Eurasian Continental Bridge, made every effort to promote the quality and upgrading of foreign trade, expanded high-level opening up to the outside world, and attracted more foreign-funded enterprises to enter Liaoning and deeply cultivate Liaoning.
In Xinghai Bay (星海湾), Dalian (大连), an international medical plaza is under construction. As a key project of ORIX Group in Liaoning, Dalian International Medical Plaza integrates high-quality Chinese and Japanese medical resources, revitalizes existing assets, and builds a medical complex. After the project is completed, it will promote the upgrading of the regional medical industry.
"Liaoning has obvious industrial and talent advantages, and the business environment has become better and better in recent years, and new Japanese companies continue to invest," said Sato Shuji (佐藤秀二), Director of the Dalian Office of the Japan External Trade Organization. "Since 2022, the Japan External Trade Organization has brought more than 10 Japanese companies to participate in the Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair every time, and has signed cooperation orders with many companies."
Since the beginning of this year, Liaoning Province has introduced a series of measures to provide guarantees for enterprises to expand their markets and seize orders with policies. Actively explore diversified international markets, expand the province's key overseas exhibition plan to 148, organize more than 2,000 enterprises to participate in more than 100 well-known overseas exhibitions, and successfully hold self-organized exhibitions of export commodities in Russia, Central and Eastern Europe, Japan, and Mongolia.

Optimizing Scenarios, Promoting Consumption
Setting off a New Wave of "Shopping" and Enjoying Liaoning
Dalian sea area's precious Liaoning sea cucumber, Benxi Huanren's mountain wild vegetables and forest ginseng, rice-crab symbiotic Panjin rice, and sticky and glutinous Chaoyang millet... At the Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair, well-known landmark brands gathered to showcase their products, feature delicacies were tasted on the spot, and regional cultural creativity was presented.
The Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair deeply integrates product exhibitions, cultural experiences, and consumption promotion by creating immersive and experiential scene spaces, allowing participating guests to fully understand high-quality products, drive consumption upgrades, and promote exchanges.
On September 23, the Daomeng Space Scenic Area in Shenbei New District (沈北新区), Shenyang City (沈阳市) was transformed into a golden ocean of joy. The 2025 China Farmers' Harvest Festival Liaoning Urban and Rural Mass Carnival and Golden Autumn Consumption Season event was held here. During the Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair, more than 60 consumption promotion activities were carried out simultaneously in Liaoshen. The 2025 Autumn Tour of Liaoning Consumption Season main event and other events were launched, achieving a good effect of multi-city exhibition linkage and multiple consumption scene superposition throughout the province, setting off a new round of consumption boom.
Releasing consumption vitality is not limited to the Liaoning International Investment and Trade Fair. Nowadays, Liaoning's consumer market has "activities every week and highlights every month." Since the beginning of the year, Liaoning has successively held more than 30 key consumption promotion activities such as the Russian Food Culture Week and the Summer Consumption Season, and various consumption promotion activities have been carried out in various parts of the province for more than 4,000 sessions, an increase of more than 30% year-on-year. The "policy + activity" dual-wheel drive and the "online + offline" two-way integration have continued to warm up the consumer market.
Multiple measures have been taken to innovate consumption scenarios and models. Shenyang actively holds first stores, first releases, first shows, and first exhibitions to create new "bathing +" consumption scenarios and diversified consumption experiences; Anshan (鞍山) launched activities such as "Qianshan Rural Night · Fireworks Market" and "Good Luck Lotus · Qianshan Wonderful Night"; Benxi (本溪) planned activities such as "Enjoy Benxi Maple Leaves and Renew Smart Homes"; Dandong (丹东) carried out the first live broadcast competition of "Dandong is Really Good on the Yalu River Bank" and the opening event of the Golden Autumn Consumption Season "Bridge-side Starlight Night Banquet"...
Sales of smart phones increased by 1.2 times, wearable smart devices increased by 77.8%, energy efficiency levels 1 and 2 household appliances increased by 44.7%, and sales of new energy vehicles increased by 10.4%...

At the China-Europe Railway Express (Shenyang) Assembly Center, containers are hoisted onto trains, sending electromechanical equipment produced in Liaoning to the heart of Europe; at the Dalian Port automobile terminal, freighters loaded with new energy vehicles sound their horns and set sail; at Yingkou Port, gantry cranes wave their long arms, and sea-rail intermodal transport is efficient and convenient... Walking across the land of Liaoning, a picture of high-level opening-up unfolds before our eyes.
High-level opening-up is the only way for Liaoning to revitalize and develop. In recent years, Liaoning has strengthened hubs, smoothed channels, optimized services, expanded new spaces for opening-up, seized the opportunities of opening to the north and east, and continuously expanded its trade "circle of friends," expanding to Russia, Mongolia, and Belarus, cultivating Japan and South Korea, connecting with Europe and the United States, tapping into Central Asia, and consolidating and upgrading Southeast Asia, achieving a series of major cooperation results. From January to August this year, Liaoning's total imports and exports reached 501.94 billion yuan, continuing the growth trend.
On February 18, as the "Mediterranean Sveva" slowly sailed away from the Dalian Port Container Terminal, the new Dalian Port direct container route to the Mediterranean Sea officially opened, building a new maritime logistics channel between Northeast China and the Mediterranean countries; on September 17, Haijie Shipping's "China-Europe Arctic Route" successfully made its maiden voyage at Dalian Port. The route passes through the Arctic Northeast Passage, saving nearly 30 days compared to the China-Europe route around the Cape of Good Hope... Thousands of sails racing and vehicles and ships weaving back and forth have become a vivid footnote to Liaoning's smooth and open channels.
The "steel camel train" China-Europe Railway Express spans the Eurasian continent. Liaoning successfully promoted Shenyang City (沈阳市) to be approved as a national China-Europe Railway Express assembly center and promoted Dalian City (大连市) to be approved as a China-Europe Railway Express node city. In 2024, Liaoning operated 892 China-Europe Railway Express trains, an increase of 14.4% year-on-year.
"Going out" relies on channels, and "bringing in" relies on platforms. "Many German companies have investments in Liaoning, and Liaoning is very important to us," said Ouyang Liwen (欧阳利文), Executive Director of the China German Chamber of Commerce North China and Northeast China, at the 6th Liaoning International Fair for Investment and Trade (辽洽会), "Seeing Liaoning's development advantages in artificial intelligence, new energy, and other aspects, we will continue to strengthen economic cooperation."
Optimize services and stabilize expectations. Liaoning is creating an international business environment for foreign-funded enterprises that is convenient for handling affairs, provides diversified services, and is ecologically livable, so that foreign-funded enterprises have better expectations and stronger confidence in their development in Liaoning.
In the Sino-German (Shenyang) High-end Equipment Manufacturing Industrial Park (中德（沈阳）高端装备制造产业园) in Tiexi District (铁西区), Shenyang City (沈阳市), more than 120 foreign-funded enterprises such as ZF are gathered, and 11 international services such as visa processing and business consulting have been launched here.
Starrag Precision (Dalian) Co., Ltd. (斯大精密（大连）有限公司) has invested in Dalian Jinpu New Area (大连金普新区) for more than 30 years. He Heng (何珩), Deputy General Manager, has witnessed the changes here: "The road to opening up is getting wider and wider, and the supporting capabilities are constantly improving. The location advantages and business environment have brought help to the development of the company."
Shenyang (沈阳) and Dalian (大连) have been included in the 2025 National Special Action Plan for Promoting Cross-border Trade Facilitation pilot cities; Dandong (丹东) has been approved as a national cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone; three cases, including the "one-code pass" auxiliary inspection new model for import and export electromechanical products in the Liaoning Free Trade Pilot Zone (辽宁自贸试验区), were selected into the sixth batch of "best practice cases" in China's free trade pilot zones... With institutional innovation leading high-level opening-up, new momentum for foreign trade is accelerating in Liaoning.

At the Liaoning Trade and Investment Fair, exquisitely designed booths and cutting-edge products attracted merchants from all over the world to stop and watch, and inquire about details. Yihai Kerry Golden Dragon Fish Food Group reached cooperation intentions on 3 projects. "Liaoning's business environment has been continuously optimized in recent years. As long as companies have difficulties, the government will do its best to help solve them, which gives us great confidence in investing in Liaoning (辽宁)," said Mu Yankui (穆彦魁), Director and President of the Group, full of expectations for the future.
Optimizing the business environment is a "first move" that Liaoning (辽宁) must make well in order to implement the three-year action plan for comprehensively revitalizing and achieving new breakthroughs.

Walking into the cross-border e-commerce warehouse in the Shenyang Comprehensive Bonded Zone (沈阳综合保税区), cross-border goods are neatly stacked. Staff skillfully operate machines to pick, sort, and pack goods from the shelves. After inspection by customs officers from Liaozhong Customs (辽中海关), these "cross-border good products" will be delivered to local consumers within 24 hours, achieving same-city "next-day delivery." "We have adopted measures such as 'immediate declaration and immediate review, immediate inspection and immediate release' to promote efficient connection of the entire process of declaration, review, inspection, and release, which has greatly reduced the time for goods to leave the warehouse and further enhanced the market competitiveness of enterprises," said Zhao Fengzhi (赵凤至), Deputy Section Chief of the Bonded Section of Liaozhong Customs (辽中海关).
Opening the door to opening up and opening up international trade channels. In recent years, Liaoning (辽宁) has continuously improved the level of trade facilitation. Twenty-two national cross-border trade facilitation measures, such as the "railway express" for cross-border trains and "direct pick-up from the apron" for imported goods, have been implemented in Liaoning (辽宁), forming 17 typical experience cases, helping to create a fast, convenient, smooth, efficient, coordinated, and transparent port business environment. From January to July this year, the province's customs applied the "railway express" model for cross-border trains, realizing "same-day arrival and same-day release" of goods.

More than 16,000 government service centers and convenient service centers (stations) have been established throughout the province, forming a five-level fully covered offline government service system. Relying on the 12345 hotline platform, we continue to integrate more than 1,000 hotlines to create a "general customer service" for government services.
"In order to solve the problems of non-standard law enforcement inspections involving enterprises, opaque information, multi-departmental law enforcement, repeated inspections, and arbitrary disturbance of enterprises, we are piloting the 'scan code to enter enterprises' work, using digital technology to empower administrative law enforcement reform, and realize closed-loop management of the entire business process of enterprise-related administrative inspection registration, supervision, evaluation, and analysis," said Gou Fuliang (苟福良), Director of the Enterprise Service Division of the Liaoning Provincial Data Bureau (Business Environment Construction Bureau) (辽宁省数据局（营商环境建设局）).
With the continuous improvement of the business environment, market vitality has been fully released. In the first half of this year, more than 30,000 "above four" enterprises in Liaoning Province (辽宁省) have formed clusters along the chain, "little giant" enterprises and single champion enterprises are accelerating their lead in subdivided tracks, nearly 100 regional headquarters, branches, and subsidiaries of central enterprises have settled in Liaoning (辽宁), and more than 2,000 newly registered foreign-funded enterprises have been established.

"They say you married into Yili (伊犁), is it because of the beautiful Narat (那拉提), or the apricot blossoms there, that can brew the sweetness you desire..." A heartfelt song, "The Shepherd of Keketuohai," has made Yili (伊犁) and Narat (那拉提) famous, attracting visitors from afar. Among them is Luca, a girl from the UK, who, together with her boyfriend, Chen Weiwei (陈维维), a young man from Xinyuan County (新源县), Yili (伊犁), Xinjiang (新疆), opened a travel agency in the Narat Grassland Scenic Area (那拉提草原景区) and uses social media to tell the world about Narat (那拉提), Yili (伊犁), and Xinjiang (新疆).
Narat (那拉提) is located in Xinyuan County (新源县), where snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands, and river valleys intertwine, earning it the reputation of "Sky Grassland." Legend has it that Genghis Khan, leading the Mongol army on a western expedition to gather in the Yili River Valley (伊犁河谷), crossed the mountains and suddenly saw the clouds part, the sun rise, and the sun shine brightly. On the flat grassland, flowers bloomed and streams flowed, making him feel refreshed and exclaim, "Narat, Narat..." "Narat" means "the place where the sun is first seen," later transliterated as "Narat (那拉提)."
Yili (伊犁) not only has the beautiful Narat (那拉提), but also the scenery of the Tianshan Grassland (天山草原), the well-known Bagua City (八卦名城), and "Kekedala (可克达拉)," the birthplace of "Prairie Night," praised by UNESCO as the "Oriental Serenade." The beautiful natural scenery, profound cultural heritage, and rich and colorful Sino-foreign cultural exchange activities have attracted more and more Chinese and foreign "Lucas" to Yili (伊犁).
From Glasgow to Narat (那拉提)—
"At that moment, I decided to stay and never leave again."
Luca and Chen Weiwei (陈维维) met while studying at the University of Glasgow in the UK. After graduation, they traveled to many countries, filming and sharing their travel experiences online, becoming a well-known travel blogger couple. In 2023, they came to Chen Weiwei's (陈维维) hometown, Xinyuan County (新源县).
"Before coming to Xinjiang (新疆), my impression of this place was only the Gobi Desert," Luca said. Stepping onto the Narat Grassland (那拉提草原), the continuous snow-capped mountains and boundless grasslands completely subverted her imagination. She clearly remembers her first experience of riding a horse through the grassland and her first visit to a Kazakh yurt. "I have never seen a place as beautiful as Narat (那拉提)! At that moment, I decided to stay and never leave again."
"Three green mountains stand like a screen, with a jade belt river running horizontally," this folk saying expresses the charm of Narat (那拉提). The Awulale Mountain (阿吾拉勒山) and Narat Mountain (那拉提山) of the Tianshan Mountains (天山) are connected to the Andier Mountain (安迪尔山) here. The three mountains stand tall, and the melting snow converges into the winding Gongnais River (巩乃斯河). The grassland, snow-capped mountains, and pine forests complement each other, and the Narat Grassland (那拉提草原) is full of tall grass and blooming flowers, welcoming every guest.
"Like Weiwei (维维), I also regard this place as my hometown," Luca said. The two decided to start a business here. In May last year, their travel agency officially opened. Luca's camera is also aimed at Xinjiang (新疆). In her short video account, the "Little Foreigner" series of Xinjiang (新疆) has become a hit. She is sometimes a curious tourist, sometimes a gourmet enjoying the food, showing the customs and culture of Xinjiang (新疆) to fans at home and abroad. Their Xinjiang (新疆)-related videos have a total of more than 200 million views on domestic online platforms, with nearly 1 million fans.
In the video, Luca often compares Narat (那拉提) with the European Alps. "Here, like the Alps, there are snow-capped mountains, forests, and grasslands, which are very beautiful," Luca said, "But here is more vast and has more original natural beauty. Driving for a few hours can take you from the valley to the mountains. This kind of space conversion and the richness of the scenery are difficult to experience elsewhere."
In one video, Luca recorded a day in Narat (那拉提). In the morning, stroll through the misty Gongnais River Valley (巩乃斯河谷) and feel the freshness of spring; at noon, drive up the mountain, passing through tall and dense snow-capped spruce forests, as if you are in a fairy tale forest in midsummer; in the evening, arrive at the top of the mountain at an altitude of 2,400 meters, with a wide view, like a distant autumn scene. "In one day, we seem to have traveled through different seasons," Luca said, "This is the charm of Narat (那拉提). Its vastness and richness always give you unexpected surprises."
From learning Chinese to tourism promotion—
"Let more people follow foreigners to see Xinjiang (新疆) and see China."
In the Narat Scenic Area (那拉提景区), a traditional Kazakh wedding custom performance is being staged. Accompanied by cheerful music, the "bride" walks slowly towards the "wedding room" - a gorgeously decorated yurt - with the support of her female companions. The "mother-in-law" comes forward and scatters the candy and baursaks (a kind of fried dough food) in her hand to the crowd. This is called "Qia Xiu (恰秀)," which means sweetness and blessing.
Yao Chuxing (姚楚兴), a tourist from Malaysia, watched with great interest in the crowd. "Very exciting. This kind of performance allows me to learn more about the culture here," Yao Chuxing (姚楚兴) said, "This is my first time in Xinjiang (新疆), and it is also a 'cultural journey'."
On this open and vast grassland, stories of cultural integration are staged every day. With the help of Chen Weiwei (陈维维), Luca has been learning Chinese for more than a year. In her videos, there are often scenes of her interacting with Chen Weiwei's (陈维维) family in Chinese. In the kitchen, she learns to make Xinjiang (新疆) cuisine from her "future mother-in-law," learning everything from kneading dough to pulling noodles; on New Year's Eve, she wears red clothes, earnestly learns New Year's greetings gestures, and sends blessings to her elders.
Luca and Chen Weiwei's (陈维维) travel agency has also become a platform for cultural exchange. They use overseas fan groups to invite internet celebrity bloggers from different countries to Xinjiang (新疆) for interviews. "We will design niche and in-depth routes for them," Chen Weiwei (陈维维) said, "For example, take them to pick mushrooms in the forest, visit Kazakh herders' homes, milk cows, and experience the most authentic nomadic life." They are planning to invite more than 10 internet celebrities from Belarus, the Netherlands, the United States, and other countries to visit Xinjiang (新疆), "Let more people follow foreigners to see Xinjiang (新疆) and see China."
In March of this year, the "Ice and Snow Silk Road Cup" Narat International Alpine Skiing Invitational was held at the Hainsey Ski Resort (哈茵赛滑雪度假区), with 179 athletes from China, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, and other countries participating. Mongolian athlete Telemen Isu won the third prize in the alpine skiing giant slalom event. "It took me three days to get from Mongolia to Narat (那拉提). Narat (那拉提) is really beautiful. Coming here, my fatigue disappeared instantly," she said.
Relying on the "all-season, all-time, all-age, and all-area" tourism pattern, Xinyuan County (新源县) continues to polish its four-season tourism brand of "appreciating flowers in spring, escaping the summer heat, picking in autumn, and playing in the snow in winter" to create a world-class tourist destination. Serkan Koç, director of Turkish Halici International News Media, who came to Xinyuan County (新源县) for interviews, said: "The local customs and culture here are so rich and colorful, and the natural beauty and cultural landscape of the Narat Grassland (那拉提草原) are always not enough to photograph."
From painting to singing—
"The culture here is so fascinating, I want to create more fusion music."
Not long ago, the "Beauty and Harmony · Harmonious Yili (伊犁)" Sino-Kazakhstan well-known painters entered the Yili (伊犁) cultural exchange activity. Chinese and Kazakh painters came here to collect scenery and sketches, participate in art exhibitions, art salons, and other activities, and conduct cross-border art dialogues.
"This is my first time in Xinjiang (新疆). In Guozigou (果子沟), Yili (伊犁), I saw the most beautiful scenery," said Victoria Choi, a Kazakh oil painter. She was deeply impressed by the opportunity to create alongside Chinese painters and exchange and learn Chinese landscape painting techniques. "This exchange not only gave me a new understanding of painting art, but also deepened my love for Chinese culture."
"Kazakhstan's counterparts use more vivid colors, which are very similar to the autumn of Yili (伊犁); our Chinese landscape painting is more implicit and reserved, like the White Stone Peak in the morning light. The collision of the two has a new flavor," said Yan Ming (晏明), a Chinese painter. These paintings are known as "visual diaries of Sino-Kazakhstan friendship."
Exchange and mutual learning are not only limited to the solidified scenery on the canvas, but also the grand occasion on the stage. In July of this year, the 7th China Xinjiang International Folk Dance Festival was held in the Liuxing Street Scenic Area (六星街景区) in Yining City (伊宁市). The supporting activity "Let's Dance" Sino-foreign Dance Carnival ignited the summer enthusiasm. When the actors of the Yili Prefecture Song and Dance Troupe (伊犁州歌舞剧院) danced the classic "Black Steed," Kazakh dancers couldn't help but join in. Aidos Amandikuli, an actor from the "Naz" National Dance Theater of Kazakhstan, said: "The dance festival has built a bridge for cultural exchange for us, and also made everyone feel the heart-to-heart connection between the people of the two countries."
The notes of cultural integration flow in the streets and alleys of Yili (伊犁). Liuxing Street (六星街), which was built in the mid-1930s, was designed by a German engineer and is named for its hexagonal shape when viewed from the air. Today, it has become a popular tourist attraction in Yining (伊宁) integrating tourism, cultural exhibitions, specialty restaurants, and handicraft processing. It is a national-level tourist leisure block and an autonomous region-level historical and cultural block.
In the Wanfengdie Cafe (晚枫蝶咖啡馆) on Gongren Street (工人街) in Liuxing Street (六星街), Lily, a Cuban resident singer, and her Mexican partners in the band use music to build a bridge of communication. They came here in 2024, "not only because of the blue sky and warm sunshine of Yili (伊犁), but also because of the deep and unrestrained music here." "The folk songs here are both heroic and emotionally delicate, which is very similar to the passion and depth of Latin music." They have appropriately adapted Xinjiang (新疆) folk songs, singing in Chinese and Spanish, and quickly became popular. The singing videos have received more than one million likes on the platform. "The culture here is so fascinating, I want to create more fusion music," Lily said.
Lily tells her story of "staying" with songs, and Luca records her reasons for "not being able to leave" with her camera. Their stories are a microcosm of today's Yili (伊犁). The openness and inclusiveness of this land have allowed "strangers" who have come from afar to find a sense of home and become ambassadors of cultural exchange. Moving encounters are happening one after another, and stories of beauty and harmony are spreading.
Link · Xinyuan (新源), Yili (伊犁), Xinjiang (新疆)
Xinyuan County (新源县) is under the jurisdiction of the Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture (伊犁哈萨克自治州) and is located in the eastern part of the Yili River Valley (伊犁河谷) in the hinterland of the Tianshan Mountains (天山) in western Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (新疆维吾尔自治区). Xinyuan (新源) means "newly developed wilderness," also known as Gongnais (巩乃斯). The tourism culture here is rich in content. The first Narat (那拉提) "Apricot Blossom Festival" National Photography Exhibition, Xinjiang Narat · Zijin Music Festival (新疆那拉提·紫金音乐节), Yili Prefecture National Fitness Alpine Skiing Competition (伊犁州全民健身高山滑雪比赛) and other cultural, sports, tourism and commercial activities are rich and colorful.

On the boundless grasslands of Narati (那拉提), one can see the figure of a British girl, Luca, galloping on horseback; in the cafes of Yining's Liuxing Street (伊宁六星街), one can hear the Cuban singer Lily's songs that blend Chinese and Western styles. What is it about the border region of Ili (伊犁) that allows these "guests from afar" to become "family members"? The answer may lie in the "blending of emotion and scenery" here.
Here, there is world-class, magnificent scenery. Ili (伊犁) is building a tourism pattern of "all seasons, all times, all ages, and all areas," creating a tourism industry where every place is a scenic spot, the entire region is a landscape, and the eyes are filled with scenery. "Suitable for all seasons," with beauty always present, is an important reason for attracting distant guests. When Luca first arrived in Narati (那拉提), she was intoxicated by the spectacle of "four seasons in one day"; when Lily first saw the snow-capped mountains in the Ili River Valley (伊犁河谷), she excitedly exclaimed that "every frame is like a breathing oil painting."
Attracting guests with scenery and retaining them with emotion. This emotion is the warmth of sincere hospitality. When Luca first arrived in Xinyuan County (新源县), she was warmly invited by her neighbors to attend a wedding, and she exclaimed that she was "treated like a member of the family." This emotion is also the open and inclusive spirit. Yining City (伊宁市) has transformed Liuxing Street (六星街) into a distinctive cultural block, providing a wealth of cultural experience programs; international ski competitions and Sino-Kazakhstan painter sketching activities are held in Ili (伊犁), building a stage for cross-cultural dialogue.
Beautiful scenery is a gift from nature; genuine emotion is the warmth of people's hearts. One by one, "strangers" from afar have found a sense of belonging in Ili (伊犁). Coming to China (中国), sensing Xinjiang (新疆), they have seen Xinjiang (新疆) in the scenery and have also become part of the scenery of Xinjiang (新疆).

On September 28, 2015, President Xi Jinping (习近平) delivered an important speech at the General Debate of the 70th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, pointing out: "Peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom are the common values of all mankind and the lofty goals of the United Nations."
Focusing on the future development prospects of mankind, the common values of all mankind reflect the world-mindedness and mission pursuit of the Communist Party of China (中国共产党), and provide correct ideological guidance for building a better world. Over the past decade, the common values of all mankind have gained increasingly widespread recognition from the international community, uniting the greatest common denominator of the value pursuits of people from different countries, and continuously gathering joint efforts to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Value Consensus for Promoting Human Civilizational Progress
The common values of all mankind are inclusive and innovative, extending the distinct value pursuits of the Chinese nation (中华民族) to the world dimension, and providing assistance for the development of human civilization in a balanced, positive, and benevolent direction.
Wang Yiwei: The common values of all mankind are a theoretical innovation based on the background of the times and the genes of Chinese civilization, and they condense consensus for promoting the progress of human civilization.
From the perspective of the background of the times, this concept breaks the cognitive inertia of global civilization dominated by the West and reconstructs the cognitive foundation of the civilization pattern. In the face of problems such as the global governance deficit and the insufficient representation of the Global South, the common values of all mankind contribute wisdom to promoting the construction of a more just and reasonable international order.
From the perspective of theoretical origins, the common values of all mankind are rooted in the inclusive genes of Chinese civilization, break away from confrontational thinking, and have an open and inclusive theoretical core. In terms of core essence, the six dimensions of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom break through the narrowness of Western discourse. Peace is the prerequisite for the continuation of civilization, development is the driving force for the continuous growth of civilization, fairness and justice cover multiple dimensions such as global governance and the relationship between humans and nature, and democracy and freedom are the common pursuit of people of all countries. The common values of all mankind extend the Chinese value of "harmony and coexistence" to the whole world, providing support for civilization to move from confrontation to cooperation.
Sizo Nkala: The common values of all mankind meet the needs of addressing the "four major deficits" of peace, development, security, and governance, condense China's profound thinking on the future destiny of mankind, emphasize respect for the diversity of civilizations and the right of all countries to independently choose their own development paths, and possess the essential characteristics of transcending differences and building consensus. The six elements of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom are not simply arranged, but are a logically clear organic whole - without peace and development, fairness and justice are like castles in the air, and democracy and freedom are even more out of the question.
The common values of all mankind are a creative transformation and innovative development of outstanding traditional Chinese culture, allowing ancient Chinese wisdom to radiate new vitality on the modern global stage. The "When the Great Way is followed, all under heaven will work for the common good" (大道之行也，天下为公) quoted by President Xi Jinping (习近平) many times, well interprets the starting point of the common values of all mankind for seeking the well-being of mankind. The common values of all mankind are in line with China's concept of "harmony without uniformity" (和而不同), acknowledging differences, respecting diversity, and respecting the development paths chosen by all countries based on their own civilizations and histories.
Hassan Dajjah: In this challenging era, the common values of all mankind provide a value framework for mankind to jointly create a fair and cooperative future. The common values of all mankind contain the wisdom of the unity of nature and man, harmonious coexistence of all nations, and the world as one community in outstanding traditional Chinese culture, which is a new development of outstanding traditional Chinese culture in the current situation and reflects the common aspirations of all mankind. In international relations, the common values of all mankind create a new paradigm, that is, advocating all parties to transcend differences in geography, race, religion, etc., and carry out dialogue and cooperation to achieve common interests.
The common values of all mankind advocate dialogue rather than confrontation, inclusiveness rather than exclusion, and have a charm that transcends time and space, providing ideological guidance for dialogue and exchanges between different civilizations. Against the background of increasing global instability and uncertainty and increasing global challenges, promoting the common values of all mankind is of more practical significance and is the only way to promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. China's proposal and firm promotion of the common values of all mankind demonstrates the broad mind of "taking the people's heart as one's own and taking the world's interests as one's own" (以人民之心为心，以天下之利为利).
Elias Jabbour: The common values of all mankind not only reflect the common pursuit of mankind, but also provide correct value guidance for the people of all countries. Against the background of turbulent international situations and frequent local conflicts, the common values of all mankind bring hope to human society. The common values of all mankind are extremely inclusive, do not depend on any specific system or culture, and respond to issues of common concern to mankind. Therefore, the common values of all mankind can transcend ideological and cultural differences, lay the foundation for communication and cooperation between different systems and civilizations, and provide a new platform for the international community to find consensus.
Marta Montero: The so-called "universal values" of the West originate from specific cultures and histories, are closely related to political and economic liberalism, and are often packaged as the only universally applicable model. In practice, this approach leads to the imposition of a certain governance model on other countries. The common values of all mankind are based on the principle of inclusiveness, originate from mutual understanding, respect for cultural diversity, and the pursuit of common interests, and their essential attribute is openness. The common values of all mankind represent a common position that transcends ideological, cultural, or historical differences, and provide inclusive solutions for addressing global challenges. Multilateral cooperation guided by the common values of all mankind is the only feasible way to solve global problems and move towards a community with a shared future for mankind.
Illuminating the Path to Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind
The common values of all mankind draw the largest concentric circle of value concepts universally recognized by the people of all countries, breaking down civilizational barriers and leading the transformation of the international order.
Helga Zepp-LaRouche: In today's world, all countries jointly oppose unilateralism and promote the equal and orderly multipolarization of the world. Developing countries, representing the majority of the world, are gathering strength through BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (上海合作组织), ASEAN, CELAC, the African Union (非盟), etc., to send out clear and powerful voices and defend the right to common development. Not long ago, at the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization +" meeting held in Tianjin (天津), President Xi Jinping (习近平) proposed a global governance initiative, providing a Chinese solution for maintaining international order and improving global governance. The global governance initiative is to promote the common values of all mankind, promote countries to strengthen cooperation, resolve conflicts, and achieve common development.
Wang Yiwei: The common values of all mankind and the community with a shared future for mankind are not isolated, but are a dialectical relationship between value leadership and practical implementation. The community with a shared future for mankind is a practical system that includes institutional design, foreign policy, and international cooperation, and the common values of all mankind are the spiritual core that supports this system, illuminating the path to building a community with a shared future for mankind. Only on the basis of the common values of all mankind can we transcend differences in ideology, religious belief, political system, etc., so that different countries can recognize the importance of safeguarding the common interests of mankind, and then build a lasting and stable community with a shared future.
The common values of all mankind have gained widespread international recognition. The vast number of developing countries have long been subjected to Western colonial rule and discourse suppression, have a deep understanding of the hypocrisy of the so-called "universal values" of the West, and are extremely dissatisfied with the governance logic of "the stronger get stronger and the weaker get weaker." After the common values of all mankind were proposed, the vast number of developing countries chose to support them based on value resonance and convergence of interests. China promises not to seek hegemony, and through practices such as jointly building the "Belt and Road" (一带一路), it transforms common values into common interests, further strengthening the international community's recognition of the common values of all mankind.
Sizo Nkala: In the face of global challenges such as climate change and public health crises, the common values of all mankind become the key to breaking the situation by condensing the consensus and strength of all countries. Taking climate change as an example, I have visited many African countries and witnessed China providing training in climate change adaptation technologies, building large-scale renewable energy power stations, and assisting meteorological satellites to help Africa embark on the road of green development. This shows that the common values of all mankind advocate that countries, while pursuing their own interests, also need to elevate their vision to the height of the common interests of mankind and achieve common development.
Marta Montero: The common values of all mankind are the ideological guide for building the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind. Peace is the foundation of coexistence, development is the driving force for common progress, fairness and justice are the conditions for stability, democracy is the expression of public opinion, and freedom is the legitimate pursuit of the people. Without these common values, building a community with a shared future for mankind would lack a solid foundation. In a deeply integrated and interdependent world, promoting the common values of all mankind is more important than ever. Because no country can cope with the major challenges facing mankind alone, countries need to abandon confrontational thinking and understand and cooperate with each other.
The Global Civilization Initiative proposed by China starts with a core principle, that is, civilizations should not compete with each other, but should exchange and learn from each other on the basis of mutual respect. Under the guidance of the common values of all mankind, exchanges and mutual learning should be based on the premise of recognizing diversity, that is, each country has the right to choose its own development path according to its history, culture, etc. Respecting this diversity can avoid "civilizational superiority" and is the key to achieving true and lasting mutual understanding.
Chinese Wisdom for Solving Global Dilemmas
As a staunch advocate and active practitioner of the common values of all mankind, China is working with all countries to jointly build the "Belt and Road" with high quality, practice the four global initiatives, and promote the world towards a bright future of peace, security, prosperity, and progress.
Elias Jabbour: The common values of all mankind provide ideological inspiration for the world, demonstrating strong vitality through China's specific practices. China is working with more than 150 countries and more than 30 international organizations to jointly build the "Belt and Road" with high quality, allowing more developing countries to integrate into the global industrial chain, achieve interconnection and common prosperity, and provide a systematic solution for solving the global development imbalance problem. The Chinese experience shows that mankind is fully capable of overcoming development imbalances and social injustices and achieving peace and progress.
Hassan Dajjah: China's modernization achievements provide broad opportunities for all countries to move towards modernization. In the Middle East, numerous Arab-Chinese cooperation projects have effectively enhanced people's well-being and injected impetus into the healthy economic and social development of regional countries. China's appeal and influence will continue to encourage other developing countries to participate in the practice of promoting the common values of all mankind and contribute to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Sizo Nkala: China's proposal and practice of the common values of all mankind is not accidental, but is the inevitable result of the joint action of its historical and cultural heritage, realistic development path, and global responsibility.
China actively participates in global governance and promotes global development with its own development. China has successfully implemented the largest poverty alleviation plan in human history, eliminated absolute poverty domestically, guaranteed the people's basic rights to pursue freedom and happiness, and contributed a new solution to the global poverty reduction cause. Under the framework of the "Belt and Road" Initiative (一带一路) and the Global Development Initiative, China integrates its poverty alleviation experience into international cooperation projects, and provides assistance in building agricultural technology demonstration centers and dispatching agricultural experts for technical guidance in some African countries.
Marta Montero: China not only regards the common values of all mankind as the basic norms of international relations, but also constantly enriches its connotation to directly respond to the challenges brought about by changes in the international situation. The Global Governance Initiative proposed by President Xi Jinping (习近平) is of utmost importance to the world. In an uncertain international environment with rising unilateralism and protectionism, China provides a coherent and responsible solution aimed at building a more just, balanced, and inclusive global governance system. The importance of this initiative lies in the fact that it is based on the common values of all mankind and transforms them into a pragmatic framework for multilateral cooperation. In addressing climate change and promoting green development, China actively practices multilateralism and participates in sustainable development projects, making the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind clearer and more tangible.

Return to TopGeneral Secretary Xi Jinping (习近平) emphasized: "Scientific and technological innovation and science popularization are the two wings for achieving innovative development. Science popularization should be placed in a position of equal importance with scientific and technological innovation."
In today's digital wave sweeping the globe, science popularization is integrating into public life in more vivid and diverse forms. The vast number of science popularization workers are either going deep into the front lines or conducting science popularization activities online through short videos, live broadcasts, and other forms. Through multi-faceted and down-to-earth explanations and displays, professional scientific knowledge becomes easy to understand, vivid, and interesting. As the first National Science Popularization Month arrives, we have invited five science popularization workers to tell their science popularization stories.

"Dinosaur" Academician
Planting the Seeds of Science in Children's Hearts
Xu Xing (徐星)
I have been doing science popularization work for decades, starting with writing popular science articles in the 1990s. My feeling is that the important thing about doing science popularization is to convey the spirit of scientists and make scientists role models in people's hearts.
China is the country with the most dinosaur species discovered in the world. It is a "dinosaur power." I study dinosaurs. When telling dinosaur stories, I introduce how today's birds evolved from dinosaurs, how to find fossils, and what can be discovered from fossils. I also talk about interesting scientific debates and how different scientists make different interpretations of the same discovery.
I told such a story. The famous Sinosauropteryx prima, was named by Academician Yang Zhongjian (杨钟健), the founder of our discipline, but this dinosaur was later found to actually live in the early Jurassic period, so the name "Triassic Sinosauropteryx" is not accurate. This shows that even the greatest scientists can make mistakes, but this does not affect Mr. Yang's status as a pioneer and founder of the discipline. Through this example, I want to tell everyone that making mistakes is a common phenomenon in scientific research. Without mistakes, there would be no scientific understanding. Science cannot be **一目了然** (yī mù liǎo rán - "at a glance," obvious at a glance). Only with debate and questioning can science be born and progress. This is actually the spirit of scientists.
With the spirit of scientists, researchers often achieve selflessness, dedication, and love. During the arduous War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Mr. Yang Zhongjian (杨钟健) and the teachers and students of Southwest Associated University (西南联大) at the same time were still tirelessly engaged in scientific research, constantly exploring and pursuing the truth. This spirit is also what I want to convey to the audience.
It is actually difficult to make science popularization both attractive and maintain scientific seriousness. You have to find some areas that are close to life and that everyone is interested in, so that the public can slowly understand and pay attention to science. I am very lucky that children happen to be interested in the field of dinosaurs. I hope that after children understand dinosaurs, they will slowly develop a broad interest in science.
While popularizing scientific knowledge, it is also very important to establish the image of scientists. Establishing the image of scientists through science popularization will subtly influence many people. In my work, I have met some young domestic and foreign scientists who study geology and biology. They told me that they had heard my popular science reports and watched my popular science documentaries when they were young, which made them determined to engage in scientific research and aspire to become scientists. This makes me feel that science popularization shapes the "power of role models" for people, and the impact it brings may be more profound than knowledge itself.
When scientists become role models and goals for children to pursue in their lives, they will naturally work hard in this direction. Now, I still chat with children I met in science popularization activities on WeChat from time to time. Some children will share things in their lives with me, talking about playing the piano, doing homework... Maybe they don't necessarily want to understand dinosaur knowledge, maybe they just think "this scientist looks good," but maybe they will be subtly infected.
I think, "planting the seeds of science in children's hearts" is what it's all about.

"Million" Blogger
Building a Bridge Connecting Professional Research and Public Needs
Li Zhizhong (李治中)
As a popular science author with millions of followers, I have been walking on this road for 12 years. As the first National Science Popularization Month arrives, I am racing against time to produce health-related popular science works, about three times as many as usual.
In 2013, I was engaged in cancer drug research and development at a pharmaceutical company abroad. At that time, self-media was on the rise, and the Internet was full of a large amount of pseudo-scientific information. Some patients missed the opportunity for treatment due to a lack of basic medical knowledge. My mother's unfortunate diagnosis of breast cancer when I was in college made me deeply realize the anxiety and panic of patients' families. I began to think about doing something to spread scientific knowledge, help patients and their families understand more information, and tell them that in addition to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, there are also targeted drugs and clinical trials, and that scientists are working hard to develop new drugs, so there is still hope.
With this belief, in addition to my scientific research work, I began to write popular science articles under the pen name "Pineapple." From the first popular science article "The Difference Between Cancer and Tumors" being uploaded to the Internet with only a few hundred views, to now covering all online platforms, with more than one million subscribers, and the online views of the speech "The Truth About Cancer" exceeding 100 million.
The speed of pseudo-scientific dissemination is often dozens of times faster than that of true science, and part-time debunkers often cannot beat professional rumor-mongers. To expand the influence and coverage of popular science works, popular science writers need to transform the obscure and difficult biological and medical content into popular and interesting daily content. For example, when explaining the complex principles of immunotherapy, you can use a car that "releases the brakes on immune cells" as a metaphor. Adhering to this style has made my popular science books bedside reading for more and more patients.
Some people question that as a PhD in biology, doing popular science is a waste. I don't think so. Professional and excellent popular science will become a bridge connecting professional research and public needs. Popular science workers are not only "translators" of the scientific community, but also "gatekeepers" of public health.
Science popularization should not only "break the circle," but also "sink down." I am very happy to give lectures to medical staff in various hospitals to guide them to do more down-to-earth science popularization together.
Under the influence and help of high-quality popular science works, the public's ability to distinguish science has been significantly improved. If the busyness of popular science workers can awaken the whole society's attention to science and improve the public's scientific literacy, it is worth the effort.

"Science Popularization Professor"
Let Science Popularization and Innovation Run in Both Directions
Chen Zheng (陈征)
A few years ago, I was invited to give a popular science class at Nanyuan Village Zhai Primary School (南垣村寨小学) in Fenyang (汾阳), Shanxi (山西). The local teacher specifically emphasized to me, "Teacher Chen, I suggest you don't bring those professional equipment, otherwise, after you finish this class, you leave and take the equipment back, and the subsequent classes will not be easy to teach." These words touched me deeply. Science popularization must be down-to-earth.
I once spent a month or two looking for materials around me. For example, I took all the cans, plastic ropes, etc. to make teaching aids. A balloon rubbed with hair lifts a plastic rope torn into a "jellyfish shape" in the air; a rubbed PVC pipe controls an empty can... Various mechanics experiments made the children exclaim from time to time.
I can't forget the children's curious expressions. It turns out that science popularization does not necessarily have to be "high-end." Being able to do it and being sustainable should become an important principle of science popularization.
In recent years, I have put a lot of energy into science education in primary and secondary schools, and gradually explored a set of systematic teaching methods, which can be regarded as having something "that can be shown off." As the whole society devotes more enthusiasm to science popularization, the status of science popularization work is also getting higher and higher, and science popularization achievements are gradually being included in the teacher evaluation system of more universities, becoming a bonus item in work assessment, professional title evaluation, and other links. Last year, a popular science program I participated in also won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award (国家科学技术进步奖). In our college, more and more like-minded teachers have formed a youth science popularization service team with me, and many graduate and undergraduate students have joined in the form of social service.
Science popularization can be combined with solving practical problems. Youth science education, the cultivation of college students' innovative practical abilities, and other fields are all powerful starting points for doing a good job in science popularization.
For example, the whole society is very concerned about the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and the development of new quality productivity. What can science popularization do in this? In 2024, a work I promoted aimed at promoting the integration of science and technology culture and industrial development has made new progress. The "Smart Light and Shadow Application Technology" Technology Innovation Center (智慧光影应用技术) of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism (文化和旅游部) jointly built by our college and leading enterprises in the industry has passed acceptance, and one of its important functions is science popularization. With long-term efforts, science popularization can lay a solid talent foundation for innovation and create good communication between the scientific and technological community, the industrial community, and the public, so that the public is willing to accept scientific and technological products and services, and more resources can be reinvested in scientific and technological innovation, forming a virtuous cycle and two-way rush between science popularization and innovation.
With the support of the China Science and Technology Museum (中国科技馆), we have successfully implemented a new model of science education project - "Building a Dream Planet," using an immersive simulation of major scientific engineering construction as a scenario, allowing scientists, engineers, and young people to solve practical problems together. Science popularization should not only pay attention to the cultivation of scientific thinking methods, but also pay attention to strengthening the cultivation of scientific practical abilities.

"Fish Identification" Expert
Doing a Good Job in Science Popularization with Love from the Heart
Wang Haozhan (王浩展)
Engaging in marine science popularization originated from a touch brought about by a visit to the vegetable market.
During my university studies, I mainly studied freshwater economic fish breeding technology and distant water fish resource assessment. In 2017, I started working in Hainan (海南). I like to stroll around the vegetable market. When I first saw the colorful tropical fish, I was instantly panicked - as a person who "studied fish," I became "fish blind."
Regarding the classification and identification of nearshore marine fish, I only stayed on the theoretical knowledge I learned in previous classes. Looking at the strange and beautiful marine creatures in front of me, driven by curiosity and the desire to explore, I made a decision: to record and share one fish every day. This also started my marine science popularization journey.
My work unit is the marine observation and monitoring institution set up by the Ministry of Natural Resources (自然资源部) at the southernmost tip of China. Every year, at least half of the time, most people in our unit need to be on duty on the Xisha (西沙) islands and reefs to carry out marine observation, resource investigation, and ecological monitoring tasks. Yongxing Island (永兴岛) has high temperatures, high salinity, and high humidity all year round, and the living environment is harsh, but I have repeatedly taken the initiative to apply to be on duty.
Why? Because this is a good place to observe and record tropical marine organisms around the islands and reefs. During those days on the islands and reefs, in addition to work, I would go to fishing villages and the seaside to explore colorful tropical fish and strange intertidal organisms on the islands and reefs. This has become an endless source of novel themes for me to carry out science popularization, and it has also made the hard and boring island guarding life more interesting. My science popularization content initially recorded common organisms such as fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish, and later began to share and summarize the identification methods of similar fish and interesting fish biology knowledge points.
This persistence has gradually resonated: colleagues and friends around me always ask me the first time they encounter unfamiliar marine organisms; the circle of netizens is also getting bigger and bigger, and occasionally I receive invitations from publishing houses and TV stations for popular science columns. I also often share knowledge of marine organisms around me with Sansha (三沙) primary school students and island residents during the World Ocean Day and other time nodes.
As more and more accumulated graphic materials, with the support of the unit, after two years of polishing, I and my colleagues and friends compiled books such as "Common Fishery Catches in the Southwest Sands Atlas" (西南沙常见渔获物图鉴) and "Marine Shellfish Atlas in the Southwest Sands" (西南沙海洋贝类图鉴). I am also preparing atlases related to intertidal organisms and vegetable market fish to popularize marine organisms from more angles.
If you want to do a good job in science popularization, I think you must first have love from the heart. Only when you really want to understand and share can the dissemination effect be the best. The second is to "think in other people's shoes." What kind of fish do you want to know? Can fish with similar appearances be distinguished? Where do the small miscellaneous fish in the fishing port go? There are many such questions.
Building a maritime power is inseparable from the support of marine culture and other soft power. I am honored and responsible to have the opportunity to use my professional advantages to enhance public marine awareness through science popularization, so that more people can know the ocean, get close to the ocean, and love the ocean.

"Corn" Expert
Running "Field Classrooms" and Speaking the Language of Farmers
Li Shaokun (李少昆)
Corn yield increase is very important for scientific cultivation. The "Corn High-Density High-Yield Precision Regulation Technology" developed by my team was listed as a key promotion technology by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (农业农村部) many years ago. However, due to farmers' lack of understanding of the new technology and their inability to understand the professional technical manuals, promotion was once hindered.
In order to change this situation, I decided to move the classroom to the fields. The core members of the team go to the countryside for more than 200 days a year, "soaking" in the fields to observe and record, and answer farmers' questions. Farmers can find us in the fields if they have any questions. They affectionately call this the "field classroom."
The "field classroom" was not smooth at first. Farmers are accustomed to the practice of "one-shot" with large amounts of water and fertilizer. When doctoral students who had just left the laboratory talked to farmers about "precision regulation," they found it troublesome; when they talked about "high-density planting," they muttered, "College students don't know how to farm." The two sides couldn't "collide." After a training session, some people chatted and some people "skipped class."
We reflected that we cannot communicate with farmers in the language of scientists, and we cannot guide them condescendingly. We must bend down, change the language, and achieve emotional resonance. To this end, we changed "water and fertilizer integration" to "feed when hungry, drink when thirsty," and compared reasonable close planting to "standing in line without crowding or dispersing." The team also cooperated with local governments to compile jingles and allegro books such as "Don't sow too early or too late, the soil temperature is stable at ten degrees for seven days. If you sow too early, the soil temperature is low, and the cold slurry will damage the seeds and seedlings." The technical points quickly spread locally.
In addition to face-to-face lectures and hands-on teaching, in recent years, we have also continued to expand new forms. For example, we made management techniques into homework calendars, and made popular explanations of key operation precautions and operation requirements, and compiled them into technical wall charts and distributed them to farmers. The natural conditions and production levels of the 18 corn planting provinces are different. The technical wall charts are refined into 44 regional technical wall charts to adapt to the production management of each region. We also filmed key technical links into short videos of about 1 minute for dissemination. We also do hundreds of online and offline trainings every year. A training session can attract nearly one million people online at most.
Gradually, seeing that the villagers and neighbors who used the new technology were making money, more and more people came to listen to the lectures. Hearing that our "field classroom" was starting, many large planters rode motorcycles from neighboring counties to come, and there were frequent interactions on the spot, and the science popularization effect was very good. Some large planters have become our "propagandists." They use the most simple language and the most real benefits to become the most credible and effective promoters of this technology.
Up to now, this technology has been promoted to a total of 150 million mu across the country, increasing grain production by more than 17.83 million tons, with an average yield increase of 113 kilograms per mu in the promotion area, providing strong scientific and technological support for promoting farmers' income increase and ensuring national food security.
Today, every member of the team realizes that scientific research solves the problem of "whether there is or not," and science popularization solves the problem of "whether to use or not." The two are equally important.

Recently, the various activities of the first National Science Popularization Month have set off another wave of science popularization craze. As one of the two wings of innovative development, science popularization is conducive to forming a social atmosphere of loving science and respecting science, and making the spirit of science and innovative culture more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In recent years, science popularization work has received continuous attention, various science popularization activities have been vigorously carried out, and the forms of science popularization have become increasingly rich. While science popularization is developing rapidly, it also puts forward higher requirements for the quality of science popularization itself. How to do a good job in high-quality science popularization has become a must-answer question for the majority of science popularization workers.
To do a good job in high-quality science popularization, science and accuracy are the foundation. Ensuring the authenticity and reliability of science popularization content and respecting scientific facts are the premise and foundation for carrying out all science popularization activities. Science popularization that is not rigorous and comprehensive enough may mislead the public to form incorrect perceptions, or even cause unnecessary panic, and ultimately weaken scientific credibility and affect the improvement of citizens' scientific literacy.
To do a good job in high-quality science popularization, we must also take into account knowledge output and thinking cultivation. High-quality science popularization not only needs to stimulate the public's interest in and love for science through vivid cases, interesting experiments, and easy-to-understand explanations; at the same time, it is also necessary to spread scientific methods and the spirit of science, guide the public to learn to look at problems with a scientific perspective and solve problems with scientific methods, and let the spirit of science permeate people's daily lives.
Producing more high-quality science popularization is not only a requirement of the new era, but also an urgent call from the public. Promoting science popularization towards high efficiency and high quality will further enhance the scientific literacy of the whole people and provide a strong impetus for the high-quality development of the economy and society.

The 3rd National Vocational Skills Competition Organizing Committee of the People's Republic of China
September 29, 2025
Return to TopBy: 俞 胜 施 芳
September 3, 2025, early morning, Tiananmen Square (天安门广场), with the first rays of dawn.
In the meeting room of the Beijing Commemoration Activities Leading Group Parade Service Support Command, radio waves sped silently, transmitting the latest instructions for support work.
This is the first military parade since fully advancing Chinese-style modernization into a new journey. This parade is of extraordinary significance—not only a display of national power but also a tribute to history and a declaration of peace.
As history arrives at this moment, the eyes of the world are focused on the majestic and powerful troops and equipment on parade. Meanwhile, another "parade"—the "parade" of support work—has been underway behind the scenes for many days and nights. This is a "silent gathering" about responsibility, precision, and dedication.
Ready—
A Grand System and Precise Operation
In the Parade Service Support Command, a countdown timer is strikingly red, each ticking number reminding everyone present that this world-renowned grand ceremony is approaching day by day.
The atmosphere at the first coordination meeting was serious and tense. Heads of various departments, including public security, transportation, municipal administration, communications, medical care, and meteorology, were all present.
"The commemoration is not the business of one department; we must use the power of the entire city to serve and support the commemoration activities, and twist ourselves into one rope!" The words of the person in charge of the command were powerful and resounding. This grand ceremony is of extraordinary significance, allowing no room for error and no room for information blockage or poor coordination between departments. To this end, Beijing established the Beijing Commemoration Activities Leading Group for the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War (中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年北京市纪念活动领导小组) earlier this year, with "one office, one group, one center, and nine commands" (一办一组一中心九指挥部) under it, drawing elite forces from the municipal party committee, municipal government, various districts, and various departments to build a command structure covering all fields.
To ensure that this "brain" operates truly efficiently, "joint command, flat and efficient" became the core principle. The public security's security plan, the transportation's operation plan, the meteorology's accurate forecast, and the municipal administration's environmental protection work were all incorporated into the same dispatch system. Every morning, the heads of each department gathered at the command on time to report on the previous day's progress, the day's plans, and potential problems, and to negotiate and solve cross-cutting problems on the spot.
130,000 words—this is the number of words in the process plan compiled by the command, which would be a thick book when printed. To ensure that every link is accurate, everything from the departure time and route of a movement line to the position of personnel is arranged clearly. The three-dimensional simulation platform digitalized the reviewing stand, the year number stand, and the surrounding environment, added a timeline for dynamic demonstration, and discovered and solved potential problems such as vehicle movement line crossings in advance. In 3 comprehensive drills and countless special deductions, the plan was continuously optimized. By the third drill, the process had been refined to 1,642 items, with an accuracy rate as high as 98.9%.
In July, as the date of the conference approached, the lights in the command office were often on all night. In the temporary party branch, party members took the lead, holding the belief of 精益求精 (jīng yì qiú jīng - "refined and then more refined," constantly improving) and 万万无一失 (wàn wàn wú yī shī - "absolutely no mistakes," perfection is key), seizing every time window to deploy troops.
The reviewing stand rose from the ground in 48 hours, the guests transferred in 30 minutes, 50,000 people evacuated in an orderly manner in 50 minutes, and the city returned to normal within a few hours after the conference... Relying on the efficient and coordinated "brain and nerves," various tasks were executed accurately, engraving "Beijing Speed" (北京速度) and "Beijing Precision" (北京精度) on every moment of this grand ceremony.
80,000 peace doves soared into the sky, 80,000 balloons rose into the air, and the stirring melody of "Ode to the Motherland" (歌唱祖国) echoed in the sky. Yu Bo (于波), head of the Beijing Meteorological Bureau's Forecasting Service Working Group, showed a smile on his usually tense face: "Our forecast is basically consistent with the actual situation." Memories of more than 200 days and nights flooded in like a tide, those mornings checking data in the dim light of dawn, those late nights interrupted by emergency calls, now all turned into warmth in the corners of his eyes.
Time returned to early February of this year. The moment the Beijing Meteorological Bureau (北京市气象局) received the meteorological service support task for the commemoration, the battle quietly began. The Party Leadership Group of the Municipal Meteorological Bureau quickly convened a special deployment meeting, established a meteorological service support team, set up "one office and seven groups" (一办七组), and formulated a detailed overall plan and special implementation plan.
Within a 3-kilometer radius of Tiananmen area, the meteorological department established a three-level backup mechanism for meteorological stations to ensure uninterrupted monitoring data. 175 meteorological observation stations in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (京津冀) conducted intensive observations of cloud cover and cloud height every 3 hours, and intensive observations were also carried out at high altitudes in Beijing (北京), Hebei (河北), Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), and other places. The Fengyun satellite (风云卫星) scanned at a high frequency of 1 minute. The meteorological emergency command vehicle provided on-site service, transmitting weather videos and real-time conditions in real time. Since March, Yu Bo has been working on the front line, almost making the office his home.
Zhao Wei (赵玮), chief forecaster of the Municipal Meteorological Observatory, has led the team to stick to the consultation room since the establishment of the forecasting service working group in May, closely monitoring every precipitation process and issuing more than 500 special forecasts. Chief forecaster Zhai Liang (翟亮) participated in two drills and the official event site support, guarding the comprehensive service support command for more than 60 hours.
Based on the independently developed Reitu model system, Lu Bing (卢冰), a researcher at the Institute of Urban Meteorology, and the Reitu model team developed nearly 30 kinds of real-time analysis and forecasting products for key points for the first time, with horizontal resolutions ranging from 100 meters to 3 kilometers and forecasting validity covering 1 to 72 hours, providing scientific and technological support for fixed-point, quantitative, and timed accurate forecasting.
In the Beijing Meteorological Data Center (北京市气象数据中心), Yao Yong (姚勇) and his team are responsible for video support tasks. Before each video dispatch, they check the entire system's hardware and software equipment one by one to ensure that the display, switching, and transmission of audio and video signals are foolproof.
On the afternoon of September 2, Chang Chen (常晨) of the Beijing Meteorological Detection Center (北京市气象探测中心) led a meteorological emergency support team consisting of 1 meteorological emergency command vehicle and 6 people to arrive at the Tai Miao (太庙) in the Working People's Cultural Palace (劳动人民文化宫) on time, guarding it for 22 consecutive hours, closely cooperating with the rear forecasting team, monitoring the on-site meteorological conditions around the clock, and transmitting weather videos and real-time conditions in real time.
In the city traffic "brain" of Beijing—the Command Center of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Traffic Management Bureau (北京市公安局公安交通管理局指挥中心), red and green lines jumped and changed on the huge screen. This is a vivid dynamic map of urban traffic. Here, a special "battle"—the parade traffic support—is being prepared intensively.
The parade route, as the "main artery" of this traffic support, is undoubtedly important. The staff accurately measured the route. The curvature of each bend and the length of each straight section were recorded in detail. Buses and subways also started operation adjustments simultaneously. Combined with road traffic control information, the bus group formulated line operation scheduling measures and recovery plans. Some lines were suspended, skipped stations, or detoured, and temporary interval trains shuttled through the city streets to ensure the basic travel needs of citizens during traffic control.
The subway took on the heavy task of transferring a large number of spectators. Lines such as Line 1 Batong Line (1号线八通线), Line 2 (2号线), and Line 8 (8号线) accurately calculated the interval time of each train to ensure that spectators could arrive at the scene in batches and in an orderly manner. The staff measured the station in advance with their feet, calculated the time required for passengers from getting off the train to the station entrance, and the guidance signs were accurately set at every key point.
For social vehicles, a carefully formulated traffic control and diversion plan was also quietly launched. To ensure that traffic information was accurately delivered to every citizen, relevant departments fully utilized mobile phone apps and other technical means to update traffic control dynamics in real time several weeks in advance. Citizens could clearly see the controlled road sections, bus and subway adjustment plans, and other information when they opened the software, and reasonably plan their travel routes. Major media also actively cooperated, rolling broadcast traffic information, guiding citizens to choose appropriate travel methods, minimizing driving, and using public transportation as much as possible. For a time, the concept of "green travel, making way for the parade" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and citizens responded enthusiastically. During the implementation of temporary traffic management measures, the Traffic Management Bureau deployed police at various key intersections to direct vehicles to detour in an orderly manner. To reduce the impact on citizens' lives, the control time was accurate to the second.
Marching—
Steadfast Figures and Warm Guardianship
Before dawn, Tiananmen Square (天安门广场) was still shrouded in an indigo mist, and blue figures stood quietly under the majestic city tower. The police badges on their heads reflected the first rays of dawn, forming an invisible copper wall and iron wall.
Wang Yalin (王亚林), deputy director of the Political Department of the Internal Security Bureau of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau (北京市公安局内保局), stood in the center of the square, and the reports confirming safety at each point came from the walkie-talkie from time to time. Behind him were the temporary facilities that would carry historical moments—from the flag array, temporary reviewing stand to the year number stand, and the LED screen, all the temporary square facilities, down to every screw, had undergone more than 3 safety inspections.
Since mid-March of this year, Wang Yalin has led his team to devote themselves to the security work of temporary facilities in Tiananmen Square. Facing this arduous task with early start, late end, many elements involved, large amount of engineering tasks, and complex supervision links, they formulated detailed plans and built a "full-process, full-element, full-means" supervision model. To reduce disturbance to the people, the team repeatedly calculated the carrying capacity of vehicles, conducted on-site surveys, and continuously optimized the transfer route to ensure the safe transfer of facilities while minimizing the impact on people's travel.
Ma Yulong (马宇龙), deputy captain of the Management Brigade of the Traffic Duty Detachment of the Traffic Management Bureau, had bloodshot eyes, but still stared at the flowing light band on the big screen. During the security of the commemoration activities, he was responsible for the overall planning, coordination, and command of traffic duty. Formulating 7 types of 27 countdown bills, organizing 32 on-site surveys, coordinating and solving more than 200 work items... To achieve "no disturbance to the people, less disturbance to the people," he led the team to formulate a notice of temporary traffic management measures, create dynamic map animations, and coordinate navigation software customized services. Facing the hidden dangers of people and vehicles intertwined, the solution was refined through sand table deduction to ensure the safety of more than 1,300 route traffic support.
Zhang Qijie (张启杰) of the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau (朝阳公安分局) walked through the giant landscape components. The point he was responsible for undertook the storage, processing, and construction tasks of the square landscape decoration and temporary facilities for the commemoration conference. Facing more than 60,000 assembly parts and more than 50,000 square meters of paving materials, he participated in the formulation of security plans, patrolled on foot every day, and eliminated 25 safety hazards. On the night of September 2, Zhang Qijie and his team were responsible for the peripheral security work of tracked equipment. Facing the masses who wanted to witness the parade up close, he patiently explained the policies and laws, explaining the need to maintain a safe distance. At the same time, he strictly checked the passes to ensure the absolute safety of various equipment in the area.
At 7:40 on September 3, the launching team led by Cao Jian (曹健), deputy director of the Student Affairs Office of the Beijing Police College (北京警察学院), was making final preparations. 680 teachers and students, after nearly 3 months of high-intensity professional training, 80,000 balloons and 80,000 peace doves will create classic moments under their control. At 10:27, Cao Jian accurately issued the launch command. Peace doves fluttered their wings, hovering over Tiananmen Square for a long time. The balloons rose into the air to form a colorful balloon curtain, pushing the atmosphere of the commemoration activities to a climax. Those gloves worn out on the training ground and the repeatedly calibrated rulers were finally sublimated into the most gorgeous rainbow in the sky above Tiananmen Square.
With only a little over an hour left before the opening of the commemoration conference, the third-generation large-scale pure electric sweeping vehicles of the Beijing Environmental Sanitation Group (北京环卫集团) were on standby. This motorcade needed to pass through Tiananmen Gate (天安门城楼) before 8 o'clock to complete the final sweeping operation. Master Wei Guangyi (隗广义), as the team leader, had rehearsed the details of today's task countless times in his mind. At this moment, his eyes were firm, and he slowly started the vehicle.
23 new energy sweeping vehicles were divided into two routes: the first 11 vehicles were mainly for washing and sweeping, and the latter 12 vehicles were mainly for suction and sweeping. The sweeping vehicles moved lightly like agile dancers. The brush plate at the bottom of the car rotated, and the nozzle accurately sprayed high-pressure water jets to wash out the dust accumulated in the road surface gaps. The suction port of the suction sweeper exerted force to collect sewage and dust. Where the vehicles passed, the ground glowed with a clean luster, seeing wetness but not water.
For this moment, under the scorching sun, Wei Guangyi and his team had concentrated on training on closed roads for more than two months. With their tenacious perseverance, they constantly explored and finally mastered the unique trick of maintaining the distance between vehicles. Today, the front, rear, left, and right spacing of the motorcade is almost perfect, realizing the efficient cleaning operation of "seamless connection." Because the sweeping motorcade drove through Chang'an Street (长安街) in formation before the opening of the conference, it was affectionately crowned with the resounding name of "Zero Phalanx" (第零方阵) by netizens.
At the same time, on Tiananmen Square, 430,000 pots of flowers with special meanings were welcoming the grand ceremony in their most beautiful posture. Golden and brilliant marigolds, fiery four-season begonias, and golden-leaved cupheas forming a magnificent Great Wall pattern shone brightly in the sun.
To keep these flowers in bloom during the conference, the gardeners of Beijing Urban Construction (北京城建) selected flowers that had been tested in major events and were stable and reliable from the beginning of variety selection. During the cultivation process, growth regulators and light adjustment were used to make the height, crown width, and leaf color of the flowers uniform. Preventing and controlling diseases and insect pests became a major challenge in the environment of high temperature, rain, and dense stacking. The staff repeatedly experimented and explored the best frequency and concentration of drug application, so that this sea of flowers could bloom brilliantly in the scorching sun.
On this special day, sanitation workers and gardeners used their hands and sweat to carefully carve out the most beautiful makeup for the city.
When the eyes of the world were focused on the majestic and shocking phalanx on Chang'an Street, behind the scenes of the reviewing stand, volunteers silently dedicated their smiles and sweat to the successful holding of the conference.
Chen Zixingrui (陈梓星蕊), a volunteer from China University of Geosciences (Beijing) (中国地质大学（北京）), guided spectators at the ticket gate of the South Gate of the Working People's Cultural Palace. Repeated guidance tips have made her voice a little hoarse, but she is still full of enthusiasm. As the "point leader" of the ticket inspection post, she not only needs to be familiar with the seat distribution and service points, but also needs to quickly lead the team to transfer to the parking lot after the peak of spectators entering the venue to guide foreign guests into the venue. When the conference officially started, she and her partners quietly returned to the corridor to stand by. After the parade, she will lead the team to assist in completing the transfer task of guests from the reviewing stand to the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂) within 30 minutes, accurately identify the identity of the guests, check the license plate number and vehicle location, and ensure efficient and orderly transfer.
Ma Xiaoxiao (马萧萧) from Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture (北京建筑大学) was on duty at the service post on the west side of the square on the day of the conference, but this was far from all of his work. He also participated in drawing the distribution map of volunteer forces. During those days, he was busy from 8 am to 10 pm, accurately marking 138 volunteer service teams, 474 service points, and 26 assembly and evacuation routes on the map.
These lovely volunteers, some gave up the opportunity to reunite with their families during the holidays, and some silently dedicated themselves behind the scenes, even without seeing the grand scene on the spot, but they had no complaints. They interpreted the patriotic feelings and dedication of the new era of new youth with practical actions, becoming a beautiful scenery on September 3.
When the salute of the commemoration conference resounded through the clouds, the "crowd"-shaped reviewing stand was solemn and solemn in the sun, nearly 50,000 seats were neatly lined up, and the 14-meter-high "Steel Great Wall" year number quietly told the past. The road surface of Chang'an Street was flat, reflecting the blue sky. Behind this shocking scene, the wisdom and sweat of Beijing state-owned enterprise people are condensed.
When the first ray of sunlight fell on the reviewing stand, He Haiqi (何海琦), Deputy General Manager of Beijing Construction Engineering Group (北京建工集团), was already standing below the stand. Watching the audience enter one after another, his thoughts couldn't help but return to that sleepless early morning. The roar of cranes and the collision of measuring tools intertwined, and more than 2,200 numbered modules were precisely spliced to millimeter accuracy in the hands of the workers. At this moment, the audience found their seats on the stepped reviewing stand, admiring the excellent view, but they did not know that behind this were countless simulation trainings and countless calibrations.
On Chang'an Avenue (长安街), the sound of military music came from far and near. Wang Xin (王欣) of Shoufa Group (首发集团) stood by the roadside, watching the parade vehicles drive by smoothly. The asphalt pavement shone with a soft luster in the sunlight, and those nights racing against time seemed to be right in front of him—more than 100 pieces of equipment gathered on time; engineers used laser flatness detectors to control the road surface error within 1.2 millimeters; a complete set of equipment operated in a "one-stop" manner, taking 7 early mornings and 35 hours to complete the 6.77-kilometer road maintenance between Fuxingmen (复兴门) and Jianguomen (建国门) on Chang'an Avenue (长安街), with an oil-laying area equivalent to 46 standard football fields. Because all the construction was done at night with extreme operations, most citizens were almost "unaware." At this moment, vehicles carrying national heavy equipment drove over the flat and solid road surface, and this scene in front of them was the greatest compliment to them.
The aerial echelon roared past, drawing gorgeous colored smoke in the blue sky. Pang Ruifeng (庞瑞峰) of Jingcheng Additive Company (京城增材公司) stood in the crowd, looking up at the peace dove shape above the anniversary platform. At this moment, what emerged in his mind was the scene of 9 consecutive days and nights of hard work, using metal 3D printing technology to complete the first version of the sample. The application of new technology not only made the design verification of the anniversary platform more efficient, but also made the building full of technology. The colored smoke floated over the anniversary platform, reflecting the gradient color curtain wall printed with UV, forming a magnificent picture.
At the memorial meeting site, applause and cheers rose one after another. Behind this grand scene, there was also a group of people silently guarding the cleanliness of more than 3,500 mobile square inches of land.
Several months ago, in the production and operation department conference room of Beijing Environmental Sanitation Group (北京环卫集团), a series of "brainstorming" sessions on toilet security were fiercely launched. In order to truly facilitate the "convenience matters" of tens of thousands of spectators, the security team traveled every corner of the square, and accurately laid out 140 third-class toilets according to the density of people: on the east side of the Great Hall of the People (人民大会堂), tent-style toilets swallowed dense crowds; along Chang'an Avenue (长安街), trailer-mounted toilets stood by at any time; and single toilets were discreetly hidden in places with less traffic.
On the day of the event, all members of the toilet security team were "online." Cleaner Sister Li (李大姐) kept a close eye on each cubicle. As soon as she heard the sound of flushing, she quickly entered to clean, change garbage bags, wipe the washstand, and spray freshener, all in one go. Xiao Wang (小王) from the maintenance team carried a tool bag and shuttled back and forth between the locations. As long as the intercom sent a repair message, he could always arrive at the scene within 3 minutes. When the peak of toilet use came, the guides held reversible signs, flexibly adjusted the male and female toilet positions, and did not even bother to take a sip of water when their voices became hoarse.
At noon, the crowd gradually dispersed, and maintenance worker Zhang Baowei (张保卫) rubbed his sore legs, looked at the clean toilets, and smiled with relief. These environmental sanitation workers who silently contributed in "invisible" places made everyone who used the toilet feel the care and warmth behind the "convenience," and also used details to show the world China's strength and warmth in hosting large-scale events.
Echo—
Eternal moments and advancing footprints
When the grand scene of the military parade spread around the world through live broadcast, countless people were shocked by China's strength and the solemnity of the celebration, and praise poured in like a tide. Behind this glory, those unknown behind-the-scenes stories are equally shining and moving.
Along Chang'an Avenue (长安街), Master Li (李师傅), who was responsible for environmental sanitation security, took out his mobile phone during a short break. The screen lit up, and it was the live broadcast of the military parade. The neat parade formations and advanced weapons and equipment all made people feel excited. As Master Li (李师傅) watched, a simple and proud smile appeared on his face. During this period, he and his colleagues started cleaning the streets in the early morning. In order to make the road surface spotless, they braved the scorching sun and repeatedly cleaned every corner. At this moment, seeing the streets he guarded so clean and becoming the perfect background for the grand military parade, all the hard work was worth it!
Among the spectators, there was a special couple. The wife was a landscape worker responsible for flower arrangement, and the husband participated in lighting debugging. For this military parade, the two had been busy for several months, with little time together. Today, during the break, they had a brief moment of reunion. They stood side by side, looking at the grand scene in front of them. Without words, their eyes met, full of understanding.
There were also the drivers Ding Hui (丁辉), Guo Jianchuan (郭建川), and Cao Laiqun (曹来群), who were known as the "Iron Triangle." They came from a synthetic brigade of the 82nd Group Army of the Army (陆军第82集团军某合成旅) and had jointly participated in 4 military parades since 2009, with the division of labor remaining unchanged. After this military parade, they stood together, looking at each other's familiar faces, their eyes full of emotion. Years of fighting side by side and countless arduous trainings were all transformed into deep friendship at this moment. They used their superb driving skills to allow the equipment formation to pass through Tiananmen (天安门) in perfect posture, accepting the review of the motherland and the people, and showing the world the demeanor of Chinese soldiers.
When the artillery salute of the September 3rd Victory Day Parade (九三阅兵) dissipated in the sky above Chang'an Avenue (长安街), the service security experience forged under extreme pressure was quietly becoming a valuable asset for Beijing's urban operation and management. This grand ceremony was not only a display of national strength, but also a major test of urban governance capabilities, and every stroke on the answer sheet outlined a clear direction for future urban development.
The "big data scheduling" that emerged in transportation security has been transformed into the "smart brain" of urban traffic management. The "multi-departmental collaboration" model has broken the limitations of traditional management. The efficient collaboration of dozens of departments such as meteorology, transportation, environmental sanitation, and landscaping during the preparation of the military parade has now been integrated into the daily life of the city.
The power of public participation has rejuvenated urban governance. On the eve of the military parade, the initiative of "green travel, making way for the military parade" was actively responded to by citizens. On the streets and alleys, "volunteer red" has become the warmest scenery. At the entrance of the hutongs in Xicheng District (西城区), the "Xicheng Aunts" (西城大妈) wearing red armbands wrapped their coats tightly and assisted in guiding the flow of people in the early autumn evening breeze; in the community square of Chaoyang District (朝阳区), "Chaoyang Masses" (朝阳群众) volunteers patiently gave directions to tourists from other places. The "special dedication" of thousands of pigeon enthusiasts has become a moving chapter in the preparation of the event.
From spontaneously responding to the initiative to actively participating in services, Beijing citizens are using actions to interpret their sense of identity and responsibility to the city. The public is no longer a bystander in urban management, but has become an important force in joint construction and co-governance.
The September 3rd Victory Day Parade (九三阅兵) in Beijing used speed and efficiency to show the world its strong organizational and coordination capabilities and comprehensive urban strength. From the rapid repair of infrastructure and the efficient construction of the reviewing stand to the precise gathering and dispersal of personnel, every link is pursuing the ultimate.
"Beijing Speed," "Beijing Precision," and "Beijing Warmth" are not only reflected in the race against time, but also in the tacit cooperation and pursuit of excellence among various departments. This grand ceremony has become a vivid footnote to Beijing's urban strength, and also makes people full of infinite expectations for the future of the city.
As the last ray of sunset faded, the street lights on Chang'an Avenue (长安街) lit up one after another. Although the grand ceremony has ended, those days and nights engraved in time have quietly reshaped the texture of the city.
At this moment, in the dispatch room of the Environmental Sanitation Group (环卫集团), Master Wei Guangyi (隗广义) is still checking the cleaning route for the next day. A few kilometers away, in the nursery, landscape workers are carefully caring for the unused marigold seedlings. And in the traffic command center, the red and green lines on the big screen are still jumping, and the young dispatcher is staring at the real-time road conditions, using the precise algorithms honed during the military parade.
