Gyatso, a local entrepreneur, felt immense pride when his village was named "Best Tourism Villages" by the United Nations World Tourism Organization in October. The dramatic boost to his homestay business as a result of the designation was an unexpected but welcome bonus. 當家鄉村莊在10月被聯合國世界旅遊組織評為“最佳旅遊鄉村”時，當地企業家嘉措感到無比自豪。這一殊榮為他的民宿生意帶來了意想不到的巨大增長，堪稱意外之喜。 "Guest numbers surged so much that I had to hire several fellow villagers to help run the business,"Gyatso said. 嘉措說道：“遊客數量激增，我不得不雇傭幾位村民幫忙經營生意。” Nestled on the southeastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of about 2,000 meters, Jikayi village in Danba county, Sichuan province, is a living museum of Gyalrong Tibetan culture. The Gyalrong Tibetans, an indigenous ethnic group who primarily live in western Sichuan, are known for their stone architecture and rich cultural heritage. 位於青藏高原東南邊緣海拔約2000米處的四川省...
President Xi Jinping talked with United States President Donald Trump by phone on Wednesday, saying that he stands ready to continue working with his US counterpart to guide the giant ship of China-US ties through wind and waves for a steady voyage in the new year, and do more big, good things together. While the US side has its concerns, and the Chinese side has its own concerns as well, solutions can be found to address each other's concerns as long as both sides move toward each other in the spirit of equality, respect and mutual benefit, Xi said. The phone conversation was the first interaction between the two leaders in 2026. In the past year, Xi and Trump held four phone calls and exchanged multiple messages, and the two leaders also met successfully in Busan, South Korea, in October. Xi said that this year, both China and the US have a number of important agendas. While China is entering the first year of its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, the US will mark ...
Shanghai aims to become one of the world's top three cities by economic scale within this decade, driven by an ambitious annual GDP growth target that was outlined in the draft of the city's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30). 根據上海市"十五五"規劃綱要（2026-2030年）草案提出的宏偉年度經濟增長目標，上海計劃在本十年內，在經濟規模上躋身全球前三甲城市之列。 Already one of China's most dynamic economic hubs and the first city to surpass the GDP mark of 5 trillion yuan ($720 billion), Shanghai is targeting an average annual GDP growth rate of around 5 percent over the next five years. The goal is expected to significantly enhance the city's overall economic strength, global competitiveness and residents' livelihoods. 作為中國最具活力的經濟中心之一，也是首個地區生產總值突破5萬億元（7200億美元）大關的城市，上海為未來五年設定了年均GDP增長約5%的目標。預計這一目標將顯著增強城市的整體經濟實力、全球競爭力及居民生活水平。 The draft outline was unveiled at the annual session of the Shanghai Municipal ...
Europe's bus depots might seem an unlikely place to discover the "truth" of its economic ties with China. Not the kind delivered in some European politicians' sound bites, but the kind that shows up on spreadsheets, maintenance logs and accident reports. While these politicians debate "security risks" and "strategic dependence" in carefully calibrated sentences, the people, who actually have to move human beings around cities every day, are making their judgment: Chinese electric buses are what they need. 歐洲的巴士車庫或許看似並非揭示其與中國經濟聯系“真相”的理想場所。這里說的並非某些歐洲政客在簡短發言中宣揚的那種真相，而是體現在電子表格、維修記錄和事故報告中的真實數據。當政客們用精心斟酌的措辭討論“安全風險”和“戰略依賴”時，那些每天實際負責城市客運的人們早已做出判斷：中國制造的電動巴士正是他們所需。 Across Germany, Belgium and Austria, public transport operators are choosing buses made by BYD and Yutong, even as political anxiety makes a noise in the background. One German exec...
Former US president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before the Republican-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee over an investigation into late financier Jeffrey Epstein, a spokesperson announced Monday. 美國前總統比爾·克林頓和前國務卿希拉里·克林頓已同意就已故金融家傑弗里·愛潑斯坦相關調查，出席由共和黨主導的美國眾議院監督與政府改革委員會作證。一名發言人於週一宣布了這一消息。 "The former president and former secretary of state will be there," said Angel Urena, a spokesperson for Bill Clinton, in response to a post by the committee on the social platform X. "They look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone." 比爾·克林頓的發言人安赫爾·烏雷尼亞在回應該委員會於社交平臺X上發布的帖文時表示：“前總統和前國務卿都會出席。他們期待樹立一個適用於所有人的先例。” The committee, in its post, accused the Clintons of "defying lawful subpoenas" and "trying to dodge contempt by requesting special treatment." 該委員會...
For many Chinese families, the first sign of spring is tasted rather than seen. Spring pancakes, spring rolls and the ancient idea of the spring platter all carry the same message: Renewal begins at the table. 許多中國家庭迎接立春的方式，是從嘗一口春色開始的。無論是春餅、春卷，還是歷史悠久的春盤，其中都包含著中國人的同一個心願：萬象更新，從一餐開始。 As the first of China's 24 solar terms, lichun, or Start of Spring, marks the turning of the seasons and reflects a long-held philosophy of eating in harmony with nature. Food follows time, and seasonal rituals anchor everyday life. The tradition of eating spring pancakes on this day — known as yaochun, or "biting into spring" — is one of the most enduring expressions of that belief. 立春節氣標志著冬去春來，也集中體現了中國人數千年來順應時令、天人合一的飲食智慧。應時而食，以食為禮，是中國人千百年來保持的生活傳統。立春日吃春餅，又稱"咬春"，便是這一傳統的經久體現。 Folk tradition holds that taking a bite of a spring pancake is a way of ...
Construction worker Liu, seated inside train K4069, felt a rush of excitement as the platform clock at Beijing West Railway Station struck 12:40 am and the whistle blew on cue. He was on board the first passenger train to depart from the Chinese capital as part of the Spring Festival travel rush, or chunyun, which started on Monday. 今天（2月2日）淩晨0點40分，北京西站站臺上的時鐘指針定格，汽笛準時鳴響。坐在K4069次列車上的建築工人劉師傅，心潮隨之澎湃。他乘坐的這趟列車，是今年春運首日從首都北京開出的首班旅客列車。2026年春運自本週一正式啟動。 "I've been busy all year, and now I can finally visit home," Liu said."Knowing that this is the first train to depart from Beijing during chunyun makes my journey more thrilling." "忙了一整年，終於能回家看看了，"劉師傅說，"知道這是北京春運發出的第一趟車，感覺這趟旅程更激動了。" The packed K4069, a temporary train service added for the holiday season to link Beijing with Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi province, mirrored the sheer scale of passeng...
Three Chinese manufacturers ranked among world's top 20 by sales for 1st time 三家企業首度躋身全球銷售額前二十 In a milestone for China's semiconductor industry, three Chinese equipment manufacturers have ranked among the world's top 20 by sales for the first time in 2025, according to data from Japanese research firm Global Net. 日本研究機構Global Net最新數據顯示，中國半導體產業在2025年迎來里程碑式突破：首次有三家中國設備制造商憑借銷售額躋身全球前二十強。 This marks an increase from just one company in the pre-stricter United States-government-restriction era of 2022, underscoring China's accelerated progress in bolstering the domestic supply chain. 這標志著自2022年美國實施更嚴格出口管制前僅有一家企業上榜以來，中國在強化本土供應鏈方面正加速取得進展。 The progress is an outcome of Chinese companies' hard work and big investment in beefing up technological prowess, but a gap still exists in core equipment such as lithography machines, and more efforts are needed to achieve breakthrou...

For Huang Xiaozhen, the future of artificial intelligence isn't about computing power or algorithmic scale, but about something far more ordinary: the quiet click of a light switch. 在黃曉真看來，人工智能的未來並不取決於算力規模或算法復雜度，而在於更為日常、甚至平凡的場景——比如輕輕按下電燈開關的那一刻。 As head of business-to-business operations at MiniMax Group Inc, a rising Chinese AI unicorn, Huang sees the current wave of innovation less as a technological leap than as a transition toward being ubiquitous. 作為中國新晉人工智能獨角獸企業MiniMax集團的B端業務負責人，黃曉真認為，當下這股創新浪潮與其說是一場技術飛躍，不如說是一次走向“無處不在”的轉變。 "As the technology iterates, AI will become like water, electricity or coal — the fundamental infrastructure of our existence," Huang said. "It will be everywhere in our lives and work." 黃曉真表示：“隨著技術不斷迭代，人工智能將像水、電、煤一樣，成為支撐我們生存與發展的基礎性基礎設施，它將無處不在，融入我們的生活與工作之中。” The...
