Investors have a lot to digest. With US tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China now in force – along with some retaliatory measures from affected countries – US Commerce Secretary Lutnick hinted that the US may reconsider some tariffs. Meanwhile, in Europe, the European Commission and Germany have unveiled plans to significantly increase defence spending. In Asia, all eyes are on China's National People's Congress, where the government has set an economic growth target of around 5% for 2025. No wonder global equity markets are experiencing volatility this week, and bond markets are no less turbulent. Joining us to shed light on the latest developments in fixed income is Dario Messi, our Head of Fixed Income Research. We're also joined by Richard Tang, our Head of Research in Hong Kong, for expert analysis on the National People's Congress.00:00 Introduction by Bernadette Anderko (Investment Writing)00:37 Markets wrap-up by Lucija Caculovic (Investment Writing)06:20 Bond market update: Dario Messi (Head of Fixed Income Research)10:48 China's NPC news: Richard Tang (Head of Research Hong Kong)16:48 Closing remarks by Bernadette Anderko (Investment Writing)Would you like to support this show?

How do you perceive China TODAY (post-COVID), and are you aware of how YOUR PERCEPTIONS affect how your Chinese counterpart perceives you?Questions about China in our collective Western consciousness have ebbed and flowed over the centuries, from an exotic oriental kingdom with vast riches to "Yellow Peril," provoking Western fears in the mid-nineteenth century that Asians, in particular the Chinese, would invade our lands and disrupt our values, to becoming our largest economic trading partner at the turn of the century to biggest threat and most consequential geopolitical competitor today.The only thing that has endured that we can agree on is that China matters!UPCOMING BOOKStrategic Pragmatism for De-Risking Post-COVID China: Circumnavigating Cultural and Psychological Landmines Inside the Chinese Arena is a timely and indispensable guide for Westerners seeking to understand how to collaborate with Chinese stakeholders in the post-pandemic era. Drawing upon an overview of China's historical relationship with the West and how perceptions and misperceptions evolve, this book helps readers develop a winning approach to managing the interpersonal relationships they will need to succeed—Guanxi. This book serves students, entrepreneurs, and business leaders curious about assembling a repertoire of tactics and strategies that better align with the emotional psychologies of Chinese players and the rigid national sentiments they exhibit inside the Chinese arena.

Click here to take our listener survey—5 respondents will be randomly selected to receive a signed and personalized copy of Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most."There were a lot of people with moral courage to resist, to protest the communist revolutions, but few of them had the spiritual resource to question the system as a whole. Many intellectuals really protested the policies of Mao himself, but not the deprivation of freedom, the systematic persecution, the systematic suppression of religion and freedom as a whole—the entire communist system. So I think that's due to Lin Zhao's religious education. It's very helpful to have both moral courage and spiritual theological resource to make certain social diagnosis, which, I think, was available for Lin Zhao. So I would think of her as this exceptional instance of what Christianity can do—both the moral courage and the spiritual resource to resist totalitarianism." (Peng Yin on politically dissident Lin Zhao)What are the theological assumptions that charge foreign policy? How does theology impact public life abroad? In this episode, theologian Peng Yin (Boston University School of Theology) joins Ryan McAnnally-Linz to discuss the role of theology and religion in Chinese public life—looking at contemporary foreign policy pitting Atheistic Communist China against Democratic Christian America; the moving story of Christian communist political dissident Lin Zhao; and the broader religious, philosophical, and theological influences on Chinese politics.Show NotesReligion's role in Chinese political thought.Thinking beyond Communist Authoritarianism and Christian Nationalism.American foreign policy framed as “good, democratic” US versus “authoritarian, atheistic” China.Chinese Communist party borrowing from Christian UtopianismSole-salvific figure: Not Christ, but the PartyChinese Communism is a belief, not something that is open to verification.

He Assistant Professor of Ethics at Boston University's School of Theology. He is completing a manuscript tentatively entitled Persisting in the Good: Thomas Aquinas and Early Chinese Ethics.

Has the Chinese government killed stand-up comedy in China? In May of 2023, a popular standup comedian made an innocuous joke in which he mentioned a phrase used to laud the fighting spirit of the People's Liberation Army. The next day, a complaint from a nationalistic netizen resulted in the Shanghai Xiaoguo Culture Media Company being fined a whopping $2 million and the temporary shutdown of virtually all the standup TV shows and comedy clubs in China's major cities. The immediate aftermath of the incident also cast a pall over other entertainment venues, leading to increased scrutiny of music and live entertainment in clubs and bars. In this episode, we talk with reporter and freelance writer Chang Che, who initially reported this incident and has been interviewing comedians and promoters grappling with the repercussions in the entertainment industry. Chang Che provides insights into how comedians, musicians, and creative media workers must function within a system where the lines for acceptable discourse are nebulous and ever-changing.  Chang Che's writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The Washington Post, and The Atlantic, and he was formerly with the New York Times reporting on tech in Asia. His first article on this subject of the podcast can be found at this link:No Joke: China Fines a Comedy Firm $2 Million for ‘Insulting' the MilitaryChang Che's websiteOur earlier episode on comedy in China:Chinese Funny Business with Mark "Da Shan" Roswell

Bright on Buddhism - Asian Religions Series - Confucianism Part 1 Hello and welcome to a new type of episode of Bright on Buddhism, called the Asian religions series. In this series, we will be discussing religious traditions in Asia other than Buddhism. Buddhism never existed in a vacuum, and as it has spread all across East Asia, it has developed, localized, and syncretized with local traditions in fascinating and significant ways. As such, we cannot provide a complete picture of East Asian without discussing those local traditions such as they were and are. Disclaimer: this series is very basic and introductory, and does not and cannot paint a complete picture of these religious traditions as they are in the present or throughout history. Today, we will be discussing Confucianism, a very historically and culturally significant religious tradition originating in China. We hope you enjoy. Resources: Adler, Joseph A.

Tian'anmen Rostrum, a symbol of the nation, reopened to the public on Tuesday after undergoing several years of renovation, according to its management authority.天安门城楼管理部门表示，经过数年的修缮，天安门城楼于6月13日（星期二）恢复对外开放。Tian'anmen was the principal entryway into the Imperial Palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties spanning from the early 15th century to the early 20th century.在15世纪初至20世纪初的明清时期，天安门是进入故宫的主要入口。Many historic events were held at the gate, including the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China on Oct 1,1949.天安门见证了许多历史事件，包括1949年10月1日的中华人民共和国开国大典。According to the WeChat account of the management authority of Tian'anmen Rostrum, people can make reservations to visit through its website or WeChat account at least one day in advance.“天安门城楼参观预约”微信公众号显示，市民游客须提前一天通过官方网站或微信公众号预约参观。There are no on-site tickets available and the authority has not authorized any third-party institutions or individuals to act as ticket agents.目前没有设置现场售票，也未授权任何第三方机构或个人代理门票业务。Enthusiasm for visiting the rostrum from the public is high, with the website showing that tickets from Tuesday to Sunday have already sold out. Tickets starting from next Tuesday have not been released yet.市民游客参观天安门城楼的热情高。，网站显示，本周门票全部约满，下周二起的门票尚未开放预约。"I am more than excited to hear the news," said Xu Xiaohan, a senior university student studying in Beijing. "As a student from another province, I have always wanted to see the remarkable scenery of Beijing from the rostrum."一名北京的大四学生徐晓涵(音译)说：“听到天安门城楼开放参观的消息后，我非常兴奋。作为一名外省的学生，我一直想在天安门城楼上欣赏北京的风景。”Li Xiaoli, a 62-year-old resident in Beijing, who comes from Shanxi province, said she will ask her son to make a reservation for her to go to the rostrum.来自山西的62岁北京居民李晓丽(音译)表示，她会让儿子帮她预约，让她登上城楼。"I have learned about it from our Chinese textbooks from when we were little kids. It has always been my wish to feel the history and glory of our country by standing there," she said.李晓丽说：“我小时候就在语文课本上就了解了天安门城楼，我一直希望能登上城楼感受我们国家的历史和辉煌。”The opening of Tian'anmen Rostrum provides a chance for people to have a deeper understanding of the city and its history.天安门城楼的开放为民众提供了深入了解北京及其历史的机会。After Chairman Mao Zedong announced the founding of the People's Republic of China on Oct 1, 1949, from the Tian'anmen Rostrum, the site only opened its doors for important national events, such as receiving distinguished foreign guests, until 1988 when it was officially opened to the public.1949年10月1日，毛泽东主席在天安门讲台上宣布成立中华人民共和国，此后的几十年间，天安门城楼仅在举行重要国事活动时开放，用于接待外国贵宾。直至1988年，天安门城楼才正式向公众开放。At the beginning, the price for entry was 10 yuan ($1.40) for domestic visitors. The price was not low at that time, but more than 600,000 visits were recorded in 1988 alone, according to a report in China Today magazine.开放初期，国内游客的门票是10元(1.40美元)。据《今日中国》报道，10元的票价在当年并不便宜，但仅在1988年就有60多万人次参观。Tian'anmen Rostrum has been closed to the public since June 2018 for maintenance and construction work.2018年6月，天安门城楼启动修缮，停止向公众开放。Another cultural relic, the Drum Tower and Bell Tower, will reopen to the public starting onThursday, announced its management authority on Monday.北京市钟鼓楼文物保管所12日宣布，钟鼓楼将于2023年6月15日（星期四）起恢复对外开放。Lying on the central axis of the capital, the Drum Tower and Bell Tower were built in 1272 and rebuilt twice after fires. At one period in history, they were the time-telling center of the city during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties (1271-1911).位于首都中轴线的鼓楼和钟楼建于1272年，曾因火灾重建了两次。元、明、清时期(1271-1911)，钟鼓楼曾是北京城的报时中心。Rostrum英/'rɒstrəm/美 /'rɔstrəm/n. 城楼Reopen英 /riː'əʊp(ə)n/美 /ˌri'opən/v. 重新开放Renovation英 /ˌrenəˈveɪʃn/美 /ˌrenəˈveɪʃn/n. 翻新;整修Reservation英 /ˌrezəˈveɪʃn/美 /ˌrezərˈveɪʃn/n.预约

Join leading international relations experts Gilbert Achcar and Ilya Budraitskis as the discuss Achcar's latest book The New Cold War: The United States, Russia, and China from Kosovo to Ukraine. With the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, warnings of a new Cold War proliferated. In fact, the New Cold War has been ongoing since the late 1990s. Racing to solidify its position as the last remaining superpower, the US alienated Russia and China, pushing them closer and rebooting the ‘old' Cold War with disastrous implications. Vladimir Putin's consequent rise and imperialist reinvention, along with Xi Jinping's own ascendancy and increasingly autocratic tendencies, would culminate, respectively, in the invasion of Ukraine and mounting tensions over Taiwan and trade. Was all this inevitable? What comes after Ukraine, and what might the contours of a more peaceful world look like? These questions and others will be discussed in the launch of The New Cold War.

Please leave a review for others to know how you liked this book and podcast! I would be so grateful to you! In this episode: FAQ is: Amy asked: How can I create my trip? Today's Destination is Guangzhou, China Today's Mistake- Losing my sense of direction Travel Advice:  Keep your lip balm handy. FAQ : Amy asked: How can I create my trip? Answer: How to create YOUR own trip is what you want to be.  Start with writing out what you want to do. Put it on paper and you will see it, imagine it and then start beginning. Get a map and start looking for the destinations and things that get you excited. Talk to some friends who have been there and get some ideas on when the best time to travel would be for you. Then make plans, flights, sleeping arrangements, and transportation options. Today's episode destination is: Guangzhou, China   This is located in southern China, not too far from Hong Kong. I spent a week in this city of 15 million people, which used to be called Canton, like the language of southern China, Cantonese. It is a bustling and busy industrial city for the most part. It was so modern, even more so than cities I know well. Most of my time was spent at the university, teaching. I was a guest lecturer at Sun Yat Sen University. It's Ranked 159 worldwide among universities. 23,000 graduate studentsTotal enrollment: 85,100 (2011) https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/sun-yat-sen-university   Sun Yat-sen University, also known as Zhongshan University, is a public research university located in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. It was founded in 1924 by and named after Sun Yat-sen, a revolutionary and the founder of the Republic of China. Wikipedia Guangzhou has a maritime heritage stretching back over 2,000 years and its vast port is China's main transport and trading hub. It was also one of the starting points of the old Silk Road, a trading route that stretched across Asia.   Want to know more about Guangzhou? Here's a few attractions I found by searching the city information. It's on the Pearl River and has architecture such as Zaha Hadid's Guangzhou Opera House, known as the “double pebble”; a carved box-shaped Guangdong Museum; and the iconic Canton TV Tower skyscraper, resembling a thin hourglass. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, a temple complex from 1894, also houses the Guangdong Folk Arts Museum.   How did I get around the city by myself? Bus, train and subway. And I did a lot of walking. The subways were easy to follow and brought me around the city quickly.. I explored the city, got a hotel room and afterwards, I took a high speed train to Shanghai, which is an even larger city in the north of China. Seeing China by train is such an experience and you may love it too. I was able to really get to know the changes that were taking place in the countryside as well as in the larger cities with this kind of travel.   Mistakes-Losing my sense of direction One of the things that I am terrible at is my sense of spatial direction. I wish it was different, but reality is true. I need to retrace my steps, my directions and I get lost a lot. One of the best things is my mobile app for directions. Get the cure for a bad sense of direction. Don't be like me.   Travel Advice- Keep your lip balm handy. Many of us get dry lips and the best remedy is a stick that gives comfort, such as chapstick, Carmex, or other relief from chapped lips. Always apply balm before topping with gloss. The color from the gloss will adhere better to the balm's waxy texture. gloss can dry out and that dries out lips. Apply balm before gloss. Get some hydration and color is better.    I want to bring meaning to your travels. Send me your travel tip. You can send it to my website, Facebook page, group, or Instagram. You can send to my Twitter, blog, and maybe you'll see your tips in Dr Travelbest's 5 Steps to Solo Travel.

In this week's #Forum2000online Chat, Vladimir Rouvinski, Director of the Laboratory of Politics and International Relations (PoInt) and Associate Professor (Department of Political Studies) at Icesi University in Cali, Colombia, joined Martin Ehl, a journalist and Chief Analyst at Hospodářské noviny (ihned.cz), to talk about the Russia-China relationship in the current context. Who makes the rules? Is there a natural alliance between Russia and China against the United States? What is China watching with special attention in the Ukraine?. In the interview, Mr. Rouvinski says that Russia will become much closer to China because there are only few other options left, but "It depends on China. China will be the actor that will be defining the rules of the game, the rules of coexistence between China and Russia. Not Russia". Mr. Rouvinski explains the complexity of the relations between both powers and also offers a brief analysis of their influence in Latin America and in the world. According to Vladimir Rouvinski, you will learn that: Russia will become much closer to China because there are only few other options left, but China will be defining the rules of the game, the rules of coexistence between China and Russia, not Russia.  China does not want to rush and make any mistakes that may place into question China's relation with the West. China is taking advantage of Russia's weaker position, especially in the field of energy. Many experts believe that there is a natural alliance between Russia and China against the United States, but there are some factors that fuel certain fears and rivalries between the two powers. China is watching very carefully the performance of Russian weaponry in the Ukrainian theater. Beijing is very interested in how Russian weapons, especially the new ones, perform in a real war. There are many sectors of the economy where China can help Russia to overcome the Western pressure of the sanctions without being hit back by the US sanctions. There is a worrying alliance between Russia and China against the global liberal order and democracy. Both authoritarian regimes are seen as alternative models to liberal democracy. The interview was recorded on March 30, 2022, and moderated by Martin Ehl, a journalist and Chief Analyst at Hospodářské noviny (ihned.cz).

Away from the geopolitics, everyday Chinese people are getting on with their lives, so what are the most pressing issues on the minds of Chinese people today?

Naomi Karavani interviews journalist Danny Haiphong and takes a look at modern China, the propaganda being deployed against it by the US empire, and the reality that contrasts with that propaganda. Haiphong's journalism is published on his ‘Chronicles of Haiphong' Substack. There are many lies being spread about China across the West, and they're shading the people's understanding of what's happening in the world's most populous country. Haiphong explains how the Belt and Road Initiative really works, the new Cold War being developed by the NATO powers, and much more. Then, Karavani looks into the collapse of the US welfare system. This has become a punitive tool used to keep the working poor in line since Bill Clinton gutted it in the ‘90s and merciless bureaucrats got to take over. Karavani brings you some of the more shocking stories of the welfare system screwing over its poor victims. Jaffer Khan finishes off the show by looking into evidence that the Notorious BIG may have been assassinated by cops.

Episode Topic: The Church in China TodayThis discussion focuses on the Church in China today. Some surveys suggest that Christians are four percent of the Chinese population, perhaps about 50-60 million believers. Thus, the population of Christian believers in China is greater than that of most European countries. The substantial presence of Christianity in China reflects the significant legacy of Christian missions — both Protestant and Catholic — in the 19th and 20th centuries, but more importantly the resilience of Chinese believers themselves.Featured Speakers: Gabriel Said Reynolds, Crowley Professor of Islamic Studies and Theology and the Director of the World Religions and World Church Program in the Department of Theology, University of Notre DameXueying Wang, Lecturer in the Department of Theology, Loyola University ChicagoRev.

Professor Sebastian Brock of Oxford University, Scholar of Eastern Christianity and Aramaic-Syriac Saints, has translated many beautiful, poetic spiritual texts of Eastern Mystics such as Isaac of Nineveh, Joseph the Visionary, John of Dalyatha, and so many more in, The Syriac Fathers on Prayer and the Spiritual Life, and other spiritual classics of Christian Mysticism and the Contemplative Tradition (Gnosis, the Church of the East). Also today we explore the Jesus Sutras that were discovered in China.

Ever feel like you have no idea what to make of the media's coverage of China? How do we separate truth from xenophobia?  What does it mean to be "tough on China?" And how do we look beyond news reports and politics to see the nuance inherent in a nation of 1.4 billion?  This episode of Femtastic features Dori Jones Yang, an expert who has spent her entire career helping Americans better understand China. Dori helps us separate fact from fiction and see China for what it is: not a monolith, but a complicated, imperfect, impressive, and wildly resilient nation.  She explains China's place in the geopolitical environment; what they got wrong and got right about coronavirus; the good and the bad of China's powerful central government; American diplomatic policy towards China (past, present, and should-be-future); and what to make of China's rise.  Jones Yang's new book, When the Red Gates Opened: A Memoir of China's Reawakening, tells of her experiences as a young foreign correspondent in China during the 1980s, a time marked by the both the euphoria of a post-isolationist China and the despair of Tiananmen.

Many people have no idea who Tom Clancy was, nor what he did.  He was neither a politician, a philosopher, or a hero.  He was very simply a voice of hope, when none existed.  Who exactly was Tom Clancy you ask?  Well, Mr. Clancy was an American radio personality best remembered for his distinctive 1971 remix of the 1965 popular song “What the World needs Now is Love”.  His rendition came at a time when the despair felt by Americans seemed overwhelming.  The War in Vietnam was not going well, and social unrest was seemingly a daily occurrence in every major city.  At that moment in time, Mr. Clancy chose to focus on hope not hate, he chose to focus on tolerance rather than intolerance.  He chose the right message at the right time, and made one of the most iconic recordings in the 1970's that is certainly applicable for today.I'm sure we all can agree that in the annals of history, 2020 is likely to go down as one long, drawn out, miserable dumpster fire of a year.  Not only did we battle (and are still battling) with an epidemic, mix in massive amounts of social unrest, economic instability, and is if this dumpster fire needed any more fuel, add in a toxic and contentious Presidential election, where partisan politics is not only dividing friends, but sometimes whole families.  Mix that all together, and you get 2020 – a.k.a. “The imperfect year of the perfect dumpster fire”.With unyielding pressure from all forms of social media, from the headlines, and even from family or friends, it seems as though we are buried under an avalanche of fear and negativity.  Tolerance has succumbed to intolerance.  Hope has been replaced by hopelessness.  Well, today, I choose to follow Mr. Clancy's' message of Love and Hope rather than hopelessness and intolerance.  I choose the light over the dark, and to rejoice in today and the promise of tomorrow rather than to live in the past.  How did we ever lose sight of how much better our lives have gotten?  Why did we forget to appreciate how far we've come as humans?   Why have we forgotten that over the last 2 centuries (a small blip in the timeline of human history) that human civilization has seen massive reductions in extreme poverty, huge advances in literacy, more political and economic freedoms, where we are living longer than at any other time in history, and that our global infrastructure for educating mankind, has NEVER been greater?  Two hundred years ago, only a privileged few were not living in extreme poverty.  For all the ills of capitalism and industrialization, increased productivity made it possible to steadily lift more and more people out of extreme poverty.  As recent as 1950 75% of the world were still living in extreme poverty.  But today, those living in extreme poverty are now less than 10%.  Where's that headline?  Only two hundred years ago where only a few of the elite were able to read, has today become   8 out of every 10 people on earth are literate.  Once again, no mention of that anywhere.The progress made in human health is simply astonishing over the last two centuries.  In 1800, more than 40% of the world's newborns died before the age of five.  Modern medicines, in addition to our increased knowledge of germ and diseases, have increased the average life expectancy from 32.5 years to 78.9 years.  Global life expectancy has more than doubled in 200 short years.  Never before in our history has that happened.  In spite of the rather combative partisan political environment we are currently mired in, just 200 years ago a majority of the worlds' humans lived under dictatorships and autocracies.  Today, 4 out of 5 still living in autocracies live in China Today, democracy and political freedom are the norms.

How can we discuss a legislative response to coronavirus without dealing with the 800-pound gorilla – China? Today, I delve into the need to punish China and decouple ourselves from the communist country as much as possible.

Its no secret that US President Donald Trump has always sought warm ties with Russia. He's repeatedly praised Russian President Vladimir Putin despite US intelligence agencies pointing to Moscow's interference in the 2016 US election. In their recent meeting at the G-20 summit in Japan, the two leaders made light of these allegations, saying that they will focus instead on expanding bilateral political and economic ties and will begin consultations on nuclear arms control. Meanwhile here in Washington the Pentagon says the US is underestimating the scope of Russia's global rise. In a new study, the US Department of Defense warns that the US is ill-equipped to counter what it calls Russia's ' increasingly brazen political warfare across Europe, Central Asia, Africa and Latin America"", urging the United States to step up its game. So, Donald Trump set the stage for Russia's return and the revival of a multipolar world order? Guests: James Woolsey Director of the US Central Intelligence Agency or CIA from 1993-1995. James Carden Contributing writer at The Nation magazine. and a former adviser on Russia policy at the US State Department. Matthew Kroenig Deputy director at the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security and author of "The Return of Great Power Rivalry: Democracy versus Autocracy from the Ancient World to the United States, Russia, and China Today"

In this week's episode of The Beacon, Robert Pieters interviews Professor Rana Mitter to discuss the continued relevance of China's experiences of the Second World War for its contemporary international relations. Professor Mitter, based at the Oxford University China Centre, is a leading authority on modern China, having authored several books on the topic, including China's War with Japan, 1937-45: The Struggle for Survival in 2013. As China becomes more and more important on the global stage, there are thus few people better placed to discuss the topics of how the wartime experience continues to colour China's relationships with its neighbours, and how narratives of the war continue to shape how China conducts itself internationally today.

This is Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news.The recent WannaCry ransom ware outbreak across the world is the latest alarm about cyber security that demands immediate efforts at different levels, including international cooperation.It has been found that measures as simple as official Microsoft patch installation and security software update can work to fend off WannaCry in the largest cyber-attack in more than a decade. The hacking highlights the need for Internet users to heighten cyber security awareness.However, it also calls for systematic efforts as well as international cooperation to tackle cross-border challenges in a digitally connected world in order to affect a universal defense.A senior research fellow on cyber policy and security at Stanford University told the Xinhua News Agency that international cooperation on cyber security will be essential for a safer and more secure cyberspace.Herb Lin deplored the fact that countries have different views on how they intend to use cyberspace and the rules they want to apply have so far made it difficult to achieve international cooperation.Some experts foresee more attacks like WannaCry, which has hit more than 200,000 computers in some 150 countries since May 12. The vast majority of successful hacks require only the most basic techniques.This is Special English.Pharmaceutical company Merck recently won approval from the China Food and Drug Administration to sell its human papillomavirus vaccine, Gardasil, to help women fight cervical cancer.Developed by the US-based company in 2006, the vaccine has proved effective in protecting against the virus, better known as HPV, the chief cause of cervical cancer. The virus is found in almost all cervical cancer cases.Gardasil is the first HPV vaccine in the world and the second to be licensed for use in China.In July, Cervarix, an HPV vaccine developed by pharmaceutical GlaxoSmithKline, received approval to be sold on the Chinese mainland after almost 10 years of seeking approval.Gardasil is expected to be commercially available on the mainland in three to six months, which means women will no longer have to seek vaccinations outside of the mainland, in places such as Hong Kong.After breast cancer, cervical cancer is the second-most common cancer in women aged between 15 and 44 in China. China reports more than 130,000 cervical cancer cases a year, accounting for 28 percent of the global total.The HPV vaccine, as the first anti-cancer vaccine in the world, has proved effective in preventing cervical cancer and is seen as a breakthrough in the fight against the condition.Today, such vaccines are in use in around 120 countries and regions, including the United States, Australia and most European countries.You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Mark Griffiths in Beijing.A 100-year-old medical technique could be used to achieve pregnancy in infertile women without the need for expensive in vitro fertilization treatments. That's according to researchers from the University of Adelaide and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute. The often overlooked historical technique, which involves "flushing" the woman&`&s fallopian tubes with iodised poppy seed oil, has been proven to be successful in aiding fertility.Research teams in Australia and the Netherlands say that the procedure, called HSG, was first carried out in 1917 and involved flushing the tubes with the oil during an X-ray. Professor Ben Mol from the University of Adelaide says that over the past century, pregnancy rates among infertile women reportedly increased after their tubes had been flushed with either water or oil during the X-ray procedure. Until now, it has been unclear whether the type of solution used in the procedure was influencing the change in fertility.He said the results have been even more exciting than scientists could have predicted, helping to confirm that an age-old medical technique still has an important place in modern medicine.According to the results of Mol&`&s study, around 35 percent of infertile women who underwent the procedure achieved successful pregnancies within six months of the HSG being performed.This is Special English.Some 1,730 new plant species were discovered globally in the last year, some of which have food and medicinal value. That's according to an annual report released recently by the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, based in England.Involving 128 scientists from 12 countries, RBG Kew&`&s State of the Worlds Plants report presents data never seen before on patterns affecting plants in different regions.New species of Manihot were discovered in Brazil that have the potential to be developed into better food crops, and new species of the climbing vine genus Mucuna, used in the treatment of Parkinson&`&s disease, were found in South East Asia and South and Central America.Kathy Willis, director of science at RBG Kew, says they have tried to make sure that this year&`&s State of the World&`&s Plants report goes beyond the numbers to look at the natural capital of plants -- how they are relevant and valuable to all aspects of our lives.The report also reveals that plants with thicker leaves and bark, more efficient water use, deeper roots, and higher wood density are better able to cope with future climate change.The report also highlights information on how new technology is helping to speed up the discovery and classification of plants that are providing important sign posts to the next food crops and actions in protecting some of the most important plant species globally.You&`&re listening to Special English. I&`&m Mark Griffiths in Beijing.Climate change is more real than ever. A new study has found a steady growth of moss in Antarctica over the past 50 years, and suggested that the continent will be greener in the future.The study was published recently in Current Biology, a scientific journal that covers all areas of biology. The research is led by Matthew Amesbury, a researcher at the University of Exeter in Britain.The Antarctic Peninsula might sound like a remote and untouched region, but the study showed that the effects of climate change are felt there, and it has been warming faster than the rest of the continent.The research team looked at 150 years&`& worth of data and found clear change points in the last 50 years, which showed the increase of moss cover. That could shift the ecosystem in Antarctica, driving it to simulate what has been observed in Arctic.Last month, the sea ice cover in the Arctic was record low, and that of Antarctic was near record low too, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.This is Special English.The World Economic Forum on the Middle East and North Africa has been held with calls for increased support for youth and addressing unemployment and poverty.Officials during the forum at the Dead Sea said providing financial and moral support to the youth in the Middle East and reforming education were key in addressing the pressing challenges facing the region.The forum attracted more than 1,100 political and business leaders from more than 50 countries. The participants agreed that the world is facing many problems including high unemployment rate, fast population growth and political regional challenges. The problems are relentlessly seeking to thrive on the hopelessness and despair of the younger generation. The forum said providing hope and support are vital for the youth in the region.Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan said at the forum that what young people need most is for all to take a bet on them, and to support them, morally and financially, so they can create their own impact.The forum agreed that as 31 percent of young people in the region are unemployed, new initiatives and urgent action are needed.

This year marks the third time that China has hosted the event.This is Special English.A Peking opera adaptation of the Western masterpiece "Faust" was staged recently in Germany's western city of Wiesbaden, starting its premiere tour in the country.The opera was co-produced by China National Peking Opera Company and Italy&`&s Emilia Romagna Theater Foundation. It was performed as part of the International May Festival, a world-known traditional theater festival.The opera is based on the Western masterpiece "Faust", written by Johann Wolfgang Goethe more than 200 years ago. The Peking Opera adaptation combines music, vocal performances, mime, dance, and acrobatics.Since its debut in 2015, the opera has been staged over 70 times worldwide. It offers a creative blend of Western classics with oriental culture as well as presents a perfect cooperation between Chinese artists and performers from Italy and Germany.The opera has been added to this year&`&s German-Chinese cultural program, a national event in Germany featuring the theme "China Today" to celebrate the 45th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries.

We know that for individuals, youthful pain, psychological trauma, and shame can have profound effects.  It can be a driver to depression, or an engine of great achievement.  Just as the high school nerd or scapegoat may spend his whole life trying to gain respect, achieve success or get the girl, the same can be true for nations and cultures.For China, humiliated by the British in the mid 19th century and then by the Japanese, its modern history has been an effort to find a way to gain respect, to fill the psychological void left by its previous shame and humiliation.  In the case of China, it’s been particularly  difficult  because of its size.  To be weak is shameful, to be big and weak, hurts even more.This idea provides the framework for China scholars Orville Schell and John Delury’s look as China's modern efforts to achieve Wealth and Power and China's Long March to the Twenty-first Century.My conversation with Orville Schell and John Delury:
