BEIJING, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CGTN has published an article on why China will commemorate the 80th anniversary of its victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and how the country has drawn strength from its past to power modernization. The Hundred-Regiment Campaign was the largest and longest strategic offensive launched by the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in northern China during the entire nation's resistance against Japanese aggression. Involving over 200,000 troops from 105 regiments and lasting from August 1940 to January 1941, the campaign targeted enemy infrastructure, disrupted supply lines, and significantly delayed Japan's southward expansion. More than a military milestone, it became a powerful symbol of national defiance and unity under extreme hardship – a vivid reflection of the Chinese people's unwavering resolve to resist aggression and reclaim their future. On the Eastern Front during World War II (WWII), China's prolonged resistance tied down vast numbers of Japanese troops, thereby easing pressure on Allied forces in the Pacific and Europe. In this global context, the Hundred-Regiment Campaign exemplified China's critical contribution to the world's victory over fascism, a legacy that continues to shape the nation's identity and trajectory. In recognition of its enduring role in that hard-won victory, China is preparing to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War with solemn and significant events. On September 3, it will hold a military parade in Tiananmen Square in downtown Beijing. China made tremendous sacrifices during the 14-year war of resistance, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on July 7, the 88th anniversary of the start of the entire nation's resistance against Japanese aggression, during a visit to a memorial hall commemorating the Hundred-Regiment Campaign. "If the past is not forgotten, it can serve as a guide for the future," he said. Staying true to the original aspiration Situated on the slopes of Shinao Mountain in Yangquan City, Shanxi Province, the Hundred-Regiment Campaign memorial hall is a solemn landmark commemorating a pivotal moment in history. What was once a fierce battlefield has become a place of deep national remembrance. Inside the memorial hall, exhibits and relics from the campaign bring history to life: scorched uniforms, worn-out rifles and black-and-white photographs tell stories of courage under fire. Among them are items from the "Bayonet Assault Hero Company," known for its fearless hand-to-hand combat in the most perilous conditions. The unit's legacy continues today, as it remains active in disaster relief, defense missions and peacekeeping operations. Xi laid a floral basket in tribute to those who sacrificed their lives in the war of resistance at the monument square honoring the martyrs of the campaign. The president's tribute was more than ceremonial. It was a reaffirmation of the enduring values forged in war. "No matter how far we go, we can never forget the road we've taken, or why we set out in the first place," Xi said. Drawing strength from the past to build the future Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, Xi has visited Shanxi multiple times, expressing high expectations for its development. He has called on Shanxi to draw strength from its rich revolutionary legacy and cultural resources, and achieve new breakthroughs in high-quality growth and transformation. During July 7's visit, Xi toured Yangquan Valve Co., Ltd., where he visited the company's production workshop and product display area, interacted with workers, and learned about the region's progress in industrial upgrading and high-quality growth. A traditional coal-producing province, Shanxi has long faced the challenge of economic dependence on natural resources. In 2019, it was designated as China's first pilot province for comprehensive energy reform. Today, Shanxi is accelerating green transformation, promoting advanced manufacturing and cultivating new engines of growth. By the end of August 2024, the province had achieved 48 percent of its installed capacity in new and clean energy, representing a 14.1 percentage point increase since 2019. At the same time, local governments have tapped into red tourism – travel experiences centered around revolutionary heritage – and combined it with rural revitalization strategies. Currently, 35 themed red tourism routes spanning all 11 prefecture-level cities in Shanxi are being promoted, linking more than 3,400 revolutionary heritage sites. This cultural mobilization is driving impressive results. In 2024, Shanxi received 318 million domestic tourist visits, a 13.9 percent year-on-year increase, with total tourism revenue reaching 276.15 billion yuan (about $38.5 billion), up 25.9 percent from the previous year. The fusion of historical memory and high-quality development has helped Shanxi advance a dual transformation – both spiritual and structural – turning revolutionary spirit into a productive force for modern revitalization. As China draws strength from its revolutionary legacy to power modernization, it also continues to uphold the hard-won peace forged in the flames of war. At a time of growing global uncertainty, the values born of the war of resistance remain deeply relevant. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2025-07-08/Why-does-China-honor-the-spirit-of-resisting-aggression--1EQ0hAWv9a8/p.html
BEIJING, July 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At nearly 30 hours and 20,000 kilometers away from Beijing, Buenos Aires in Argentina is one of the furthest destinations in the world from the Chinese capital. In a popular 2024 stand-up comedy show, Yan Hexiang, a Chinese actor and crosstalk performer, humorously pointed out that the antipodal point to Beijing is located in the Pampas grasslands of Argentina. However, the distance between Argentina and China doesn't seem so far. Just about 38 kilometers from Ministro Pistarini International Airport in Buenos Aires, is a largely commercial section about five blocks long in the district of Belgrano, where a towering Chinese-style archway greets you, inscribed with the words "China Town." The Global Times has visited many "Chinatowns" around the world, including those in Washington, London, and Nagasaki. However, Buenos Aires' "Chinatown" is quite different from the rest. This is immediately apparent upon entry: On a Sunday evening, the streets bustle with activity, restaurants have long wait times, and shops attend to numerous customers. Upon closer inspection, the Global Times noticed that non-Chinese diners and shoppers actually outnumber Chinese ones. In Chinese, the word "foreigner" is used to refer to anyone who is not Chinese, therefore within the context of Buenos Aires, it is used to refer to non-Chinese locals. In many other "Chinatowns" in the world, Chinese nationals are surrounded by their own, and while the occasional less-than-authentic Chinese cuisine might remind them that "this is not China," the presence of Chinese nationals gives a sense of belonging. In contrast, in Buenos Aires' "Chinatown," surrounded by countless local faces, the "Chinese nationals" seem more like visitors passing through. Famous Chinese hotpot restaurant brands like Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot, Shoo Loong Kan Hot Pot, and Haidilao Hot Pot, commonly found in American "Chinatowns," are conspicuously absent. However, Chinese culture, cuisine, and products are everywhere, and even bubble tea has become a favorite among the youth in the "Chinatown." A capybara in a shop window observes the comings and goings, much like its counterpart in the trendy toy area of Chaoyang district's Joy City mall in Beijing, 20,000 kilometers away. In addition to Chinese elements, graffiti in the style of Japanese animator, filmmaker, and manga artist Hayao Miyazaki features the Chinese characters for "Visited Here," and posters of South Korean idols appear in shop windows, indicating that this "Chinatown" not only spreads Chinese culture but also incorporates East Asian elements. A few steps further, a street magician interacts with the audience, with a prominent image of "Guanyin" on the wall behind him, as if everything before us is being witnessed by the bodhisattva. Why are there so many "foreigners" in Buenos Aires' "Chinatown"? Locals provided various answers. Most people's first response was that "Chinatown" is an important social media hotspot in Buenos Aires. If you plan a day trip to the city, this is a must-visit location. "You visited on the last day of a long weekend, so of course, there were many people shopping and dining; people love going to Chinatown," a local Chinese national told the Global Times. Another local explained that unlike many other "Chinatowns," Buenos Aires' "Chinatown" has a significant number of Chinese residents, but it is not the main gathering place for the local Chinese community. With its trendy atmosphere, it naturally attracts a lot of young people, making the "foreigners" seem particularly popular. What is it that attracts so many "foreigners" to this "Chinatown"? "Chinese cuisine" topped the list of mentions, with Chinese products and culture also frequently cited among those interviewed by the Global Times. "Yufu" is a relatively authentic Cantonese restaurant in Buenos Aires' "Chinatown," where Chinese food is on the pricier side compared to local dining options. Yet even at 2:10 pm on Sunday, the restaurant was still packed, and the number of Chinese diners was visibly less than half of all patrons. "Exquisite, compact, and easy to explore," said Nora, director of a research company in Buenos Aires, when asked about the "Chinatown". She added, "I love the dim sum in 'Chinatown'; I enjoy the exotic atmosphere there. The shop owners are very friendly, and the products are diverse; you can find many things you want in one store." Liu Jialong, a 19-year-old local of Chinese descent, told the Global Times that "Buenos Aires also has a 'Koreantown,' which is only one street and much smaller than 'Chinatown.' It used to be very popular, but its popularity has declined. In contrast, 'Chinatown' is booming now." If China were not becoming stronger and developing so rapidly, would people be increasingly interested in China? he asked. Argentines, including scholars and businesspeople, that the Global Times reporter met here during the trip place great importance on China-Argentina relations. China is Latin America's second-largest trading partner and holds the top position in several countries. In a recent survey released by the Global Times Institute (GTI), in collaboration with the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) and the China-Latin America Education and Culture Center, on the "China-LAC mutual perception" conducted in both regions found that the most prominent impression left by China on Latin Americans was "technology." When asked to fill in keywords that represent their primary impressions of China, a Gen Z respondent from Argentina mentioned "DeepSeek." Of all those interviewed by the Global Times, Wu Ditai, a young Argentine scholar who studied at Peking University, was the most knowledgeable about China. Watching him mimic the distinct drawl common among Beijing's taxi drivers was as impressive as it was comedic. "It's not just 'Chinatown'; if you look deeper, Argentines are very curious about China. They want to know why China is developing so quickly and what experiences Argentina can learn from," Wu Ditai said. He has plans to return to China soon and hopes to travel across all provinces to gain a deeper understanding of the country. Of course, the reality is that many Argentines do not have a sufficient understanding of China. Most of their information comes from the media, especially Western media sources and social media. An Argentine journalist told the Global Times that while there is considerable coverage of China in local media, the current lack of understanding among Argentines about China is unlikely to change in the short term. "'China Travel' is a trending topic now, and Argentina has visa-free access. The real China is right there, and everyone is welcomed to learn about it," the Global Times told Wu Ditai.
BEIJING, July 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Forty years ago, residents described Xiamen in East China's Fujian Province as having "uneven roads, dim streetlights, unreliable telephone service, and tap water frequently cut off." Today, Xiamen has become a high-quality, attractive, modern, and international city praised by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee. The remarkable transformation of Xiamen was driven by the strategic layout in the "1985-2000 Xiamen Economic and Social Development Strategy" (Development Strategy), the reform resolve to "cut roads through mountains and build bridges over water," the steadfast commitment to thoroughly implementing a single blueprint, and the unwavering original aspiration: "I will fully commit to the people and never fail them." By combining top–level design with a "crossing the river by feeling the stones" approach, for more than 30 years in the past, this single blueprint and one city have demonstrated the power of ideas and exemplified China's governance model. A farsighted blueprint Xiamen's current high-quality development stems from the blueprint laid out more than 30 years ago. From planning economic development, industrial growth, and institutional reform, to deploying efforts in technological innovation, ecological protection, cultural advancement, education, and talent cultivation - this comprehensive, scientific, and systematic development blueprint was drawn up under the leadership of Xi, who then served as a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Xiamen Municipal Committee and executive vice mayor of Xiamen. The Development Strategy charted Xiamen's future and marked a first: it was the earliest 15-year regional blueprint formulated by local authorities, according to the Xinhua News Agency. A visionary blueprint has turned dreams into reality. Today, Xiamen is fostering the development of new quality productive forces and building a modern industrial system driven by sustained momentum and tiered growth. A total of 10 key industries, including machinery, equipment, and financial services, have exceeded 100 billion yuan ($13.95 billion) in scale, with industrial innovation capacity and overall competitiveness continuously strengthening. More importantly, at a time when both international and domestic discourse rarely addressed medium– to long–term strategic planning for regional development, the Development Strategy introduced an innovative framework for mid– to long–term strategic studies. It explored pathways and methods for modern urban governance in China, and through sustained effort, it has proven that medium– and long–term development planning plays a critical role in promoting sustainable local development. The scientific formulation and consistent implementation of five-year plans constitute important experience in the CPC's approach to governing the country. An epitome Xiamen's development is an epitome of China's reform and opening-up process. The Development Strategy outlined a gradual, phased approach, envisioning Xiamen as a "free port-style" special economic zone (SEZ). SEZs serve as trailblazers for reform and opening-up. During his early career, Xi directly participated in reform and opening-up efforts in this coastal region. "Leaders chart the course while the people get the job done." The Development Strategy is rich with innovative solutions, reform measures, and open policies that tackle challenges directly. For more than 30 years, combining top-level design with grassroots experimentation, Xiamen has pursued its three-phase strategic goals, achieving numerous national "firsts" and "pioneering" reforms. These mark the city's remarkable leap in reform and opening-up. Today, Xiamen is one of China's key hubs for intensive and high-impact reform policies, achieving notable systemic integration. For instance, the average vessel stay at Xiamen Port is 0.93 days, ranking second globally among major ports. The China-Europe Railway Express (Xiamen) now reaches more than 30 cities in 13 countries. At present, Xiamen actively aligns with national strategies, striving to become a key node in the new development paradigm. It strengthens global economic loops, boosts domestic market dynamism, and fosters synergy between dual circulation pathways. The reform direction outlined in the Development Strategy - combining top-down design with grassroots practices - has been pivotal to Xiamen's historic achievements. Xiamen's success reflects the Chinese people's perseverance and pioneering spirit in overcoming challenges. Advancing Chinese modernization is a systematic endeavor, and it is also an exploratory undertaking. As reform traverses countless challenges, the era, as the "question setter," continually presents challenges. We must preserve the spirit of bold exploration, maintain the drive for innovation, and uphold the will to act. Within the framework of top-level design, we should strive to open new horizons for reform and development. Concrete action The vitality of a plan lies in its execution. Xiamen has unswervingly implemented its Development Strategy for more than 30 years. As a result, by 2023, its GDP had grown by 149.6 times and its fiscal revenue increased by 460.9 times, while the urban area expanded 11-fold. Guided by the Development Strategy, Xiamen has implemented multiple plans to promote its development in various fields. In the journey of Chinese modernization, time serves both as a constant test of resolve and a pressing call to action. The understanding of time of CPC members is measured in centuries or millennia. Long-term tasks demand strategic patience and consistency, avoiding short-termism or campaign-style approaches. Yet, urgent tasks demand immediate action without delay. Long-term planning and immediate action are dialectically unified. National development advances step by step through sustained collective efforts - neither rushed nor delayed. Through challenges and progress, China translates historical vision and strategic thinking into concrete action. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202507/1337644.shtml

BEIJING, July 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- You've heard of "Swan Lake," "Katyusha," Pushkin, and Tolstoy. But on your journey through Russia, there's another name you shouldn't miss - a genius whose legacy still shapes the nation today.Mikhail Lomonosov (1711-65) is a name known to every Russian. An airport in southeastern Moscow is named after him, and Russia's top university bears his full title: Lomonosov Moscow State University. A scientist, linguist, and poet of the 18th century, he's often called "Peter the Great of Russian science." His legacy offers a window into the heart of Russia's history and culture. In the autumn of 1711, Lomonosov was born into a fisherman's family on the shores of the White Sea. A precocious child, he read nearly every book he could find in his village. At 19, he set off for Moscow to pursue an education. He claimed noble origins and enrolled in a religious academy, as most schools in the city admitted only children of nobility. He studied diligently, and his academic excellence earned him a place at the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. Later, he was sent to Germany to study mining. In 1745, at just 34 years old, Lomonosov became the first Russian to be named a professor of chemistry at the Academy.Lomonosov was driven by a deep desire to dedicate his hard-earned knowledge to his country and its people. In 1748, he built the first Russian chemical laboratory - a project he had long envisioned. He hoped the lab would bring practical benefits to his country, such as the mass production of colored glass. At the time, the foreign experts who possessed the technique to make colored glass refused to share their secrets. Undeterred, Lomonosov conducted nearly 4,000 experiments before succeeding. A variety of shades - grass green, salmon pink, translucent tones, and more - soon emerged from his lab.At the time, scientists still did not fully understand the nature of fire or the process of combustion. The dominant theory was the "phlogiston" hypothesis, which claimed that a fire-like element was released during burning. In the 17th century, British chemist Robert Boyle observed that metals gained weight after being calcined and concluded that phlogiston played a role in the reaction. In 1756, Lomonosov placed metal in a sealed container and heated it. Without allowing any air to enter, he weighed the metal before and after burning - and found no change in mass. This led him to observe the principle of mass conservation. Later, French chemist Antoine Lavoisier repeated similar experiments and formally established the law of conservation of mass.Lomonosov also flourished in the realm of literature. He believed that "Russian poetry must be written in accordance with the natural qualities of our language." Under his advocacy, a new system of versification emerged - one that allowed Russian to be as light and fluid as French, yet as forceful as German. Through his efforts to purify the Russian language, expand its vocabulary, and bring literary style closer to everyday speech, he earned the title "Father of the Modern Russian Language."Lomonosov also looked to the future - education. He hoped that Russia would one day produce its own Platos and Newtons. In letters to Count Shuvalov, a close confidant of the Empress, he repeatedly proposed founding a university in Moscow. The Empress accepted his proposal, and in 1755, Moscow University was established. Since its inception, the university had embraced inclusivity: Students from all social classes, except serfs, were allowed to enroll. By the second half of the 18th century, only three of the university's 26 Russian professors came from noble families.In the 19th century, a legendary figure emerged from Moscow University. Alexander Herzen, descended from nobility, preferred social engagement over scientific study. Advocating dialectics and materialism, he became a leading voice of progressive thought in Russia. Anton Chekhov, the son of a serf, began writing plays while studying medicine, and went on to become a literary giant known for his sharp realism. Wassily Kandinsky, born to an intellectual family, studied law and economics before turning to art at age 30. His iconic geometric works of dots, lines, and planes earned him recognition as a pioneer of abstract art.In the 20th century, the light of modern science began to shine from Moscow University. At 17, Andrei Sakharov enrolled in the Department of Physics, quickly demonstrating brilliance in theoretical physics. Beginning in 1948, he played a key role in developing the Soviet hydrogen bomb, proposing the "layer-cake" design that proved essential to its success. Nikolay Semyonov, head of the university's chemical kinetics division, developed the theory of chain branching reactions, which offered crucial insights into combustion and explosion mechanisms. In 1956, he became the first Soviet scientist to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Sergei Novikov entered the Department of Mathematics and Mechanics in 1955, specializing in algebraic topology. In 1970, he became the first Soviet mathematician to be awarded the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics.In 1952, as the university's grand auditorium neared completion, the Soviet Union reached out to the newly founded People's Republic of China, requesting portraits of ancient Chinese scientists - notably Zu Chongzhi of the Northern and Southern Dynasties (386-589), and Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) physician Li Shizhen - to be included in the auditorium's design. The task of creating the portraits was entrusted to the renowned Chinese painter Jiang Zhaohe. While reading the preface of the Compendium of Materia Medica, he came across a description of Li Shizhen: a lean figure, thoughtful in speech, and a man of exceptional character. This reminded Jiang of his father-in-law, Xiao Longyou - a revered master of traditional Chinese medicine and one of the "Four Great Physicians of Beijing." Jiang thus used Xiao Longyou as the model for Li Shizhen. For the portrait of Zu Chongzhi, he drew inspiration from the appearance of renowned meteorologist and geographer Zhu Kezhen.Today, more than 70 years later, their marble mosaic portraits can still be seen above the entrance hall ceiling, alongside those of Newton, Copernicus, Madame Curie, and other great figures of world science.In the early 1960s, Li Bingzong graduated from the Department of Physics at Moscow State University. Now at 89 years old, he recalls those formative years: Professors at MSU never handed out lecture notes or used fixed textbooks - students had to rely entirely on taking notes during class and studying reference books on their own afterward. From 1951 to 1965, MSU trained thousands of Chinese students, like Li Bingzong. Most of them pursued cutting-edge disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, and biology. After completing their studies, they returned to China and devoted themselves to nation-building, leaving an indelible mark on the milestones of scientific and technological development in the newly founded People's Republic of China.Today, a full-length statue of Lomonosov still stands on the university campus. With a gentle smile and sharp gaze, he seems to be welcoming generations of students coming and going. As time flows on and leaves drift down before him, a new era of scholars continues to write their own chapters - in the very classrooms that once nurtured legends.Xiao Xinxin, Liu Shuyang, Xu Ye, Wang Zhening, Gao Yuan, Niu Zhiyuan, and Dong Shuo contributed to this article.
