China has observed a solemn ceremony to commemorate the 95th anniversary of the September 18th Incident, which marked the start of Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. A bell-ringing ceremony was held in the northeastern city of Shenyang.

On a July morning, 120 new recruits and 20 members of the Ruijin squadron stood in formation at Yunshi Mountain in Ruijin, Jiangxi province, a place closely associated with the departure of the Central Red Army on the Long March more than nine decades ago.7月的一个清晨，120名新兵和20名瑞金中队官兵整齐列队，站在江西瑞金云石山上。这里与90多年前中央红军踏上长征征程的历史紧密相连。After a floral tribute was laid, they raised their right fists and recited the servicemen's oath.在敬献鲜花后，他们举起右拳，庄严宣誓，重温军人誓词。Among them was Huang Zhijie.其中就有黄志杰。Six months earlier, Huang had struggled to adjust to the demanding pace of guard duty and training. An ankle injury sustained during tactical training forced him to take a break, adding to his frustration.6个月前，黄志杰还难以适应高强度的站岗执勤和训练节奏。一次战术训练中，他不慎脚踝受伤，不得不中断训练，这让他一度感到沮丧。Shen Guohao, the squadron's political instructor, noticed Huang's low spirits and spoke with him after training.中队政治指导员沈国昊注意到了黄志杰的低落情绪，并在训练结束后主动找他谈心。"In 1934, Red Army soldiers left their families here and set out on the Long March," Shen told him. "Many were about your age. Compared with the snow-covered mountains and marshlands they crossed, the difficulties in front of us are not that great."“1934年，红军战士就是从这里告别亲人，踏上长征之路的。”沈国昊对他说，“当年很多红军战士和你年龄相仿。相比他们翻越的雪山、穿越的草地，我们现在面对的困难并没有那么大。”The words stayed with Huang. In his notebook, he wrote: "Miracles come from persistence and hard work. The predecessors did it. I should give it a try."这些话一直留在黄志杰心中。他在笔记本上写道：“奇迹来自坚持和努力。前辈们做到了，我也应该试一试。”After recovering, Huang returned to training. Within months, his performance had improved markedly.伤愈后，黄志杰重新投入训练。几个月后，他的表现有了明显提升。For servicemen stationed in Ruijin, stories from the Long March have become part of their training and daily lives.对于驻守瑞金的官兵来说，长征故事已经融入日常训练和生活。This year marks the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March, which took place from 1934 to 1936. Ruijin was an important starting point, with the Central Red Army beginning its strategic transfer from the area in October 1934.今年是红军长征胜利90周年。长征发生于1934年至1936年，瑞金是重要出发地之一。1934年10月，中央红军从这里开始战略转移。The Ruijin squadron of the Ganzhou detachment under the Jiangxi Corps of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force has been rated an advanced unit for 26 consecutive years.隶属于中国人民武装警察部队江西总队赣州支队的瑞金中队，已连续26年被评为先进单位。In Huawu village, 17 tall pine trees stand on a hillside. In 1934, the young men from the village set out with the Red Army on the Long March. Before leaving home, they planted pine saplings and hoped to return after victory. None of them did.在华屋村，一座山坡上矗立着17棵高大的松树。1934年，村里的17名青年跟随红军踏上长征。临行前，他们种下松树苗，希望胜利归来后能够重返家园。然而，他们最终都没有回来。More than 90 years later, the trees have become living memorials and a regular stop for new recruits.90多年过去，这些松树成为一座座“活的纪念碑”，也是新兵入队后的固定参观地点。Recruit Peng Xiang was deeply affected when he first stood beneath them.新兵彭翔第一次站在这些松树下时深受触动。"Standing on the land where our predecessors once fought, you can truly feel the power of faith," he said.“站在先辈们曾经战斗过的土地上，能够真正感受到信仰的力量。”他说。The visit is part of a routine for newcomers. They also drink water from the Red Well, a historic well dug under Chairman Mao Zedong's leadership in 1933 to provide clean water for local residents; learn revolutionary songs; attend short classes on the Long March; and walk part of the route at Yunshi Mountain.参观这些红色遗迹，是新兵入队教育的一部分。他们还会饮用红井的水，学习革命歌曲，参加长征主题课程，并沿着云石山部分路线徒步体验。红井是一口具有历史意义的水井，1933年在毛泽东领导下开挖，用于解决当地居民饮水问题。In 2019, the squadron introduced an "honor number" system. Numbers 1 through 70 were collectively reserved for generations of servicemen who had contributed to the squadron during its first 70 years, while current members began receiving numbers from 71 onward.2019年，瑞金中队推出“荣誉编号”制度。1至70号编号，集体保留给中队成立前70年中作出贡献的一代代官兵；现役官兵则从71号开始获得编号。In early July, the squadron's Communist Party of China branch was commended by the Central Military Commission as an advanced grassroots Party organization of the armed forces.今年7月初，中队党支部被中央军委表彰为“军队先进基层党组织”。For decades, generations of servicemen from the squadron have maintained ties with a local nursing home in Ruijin, visiting during holidays and helping elderly residents with daily tasks.几十年来，中队一代代官兵始终与瑞金当地一家敬老院保持联系，逢年过节前往看望老人，并帮助他们解决日常生活中的困难。"The servicemen have changed generation after generation, but this bond has never been broken," Shen said.“官兵换了一代又一代，但这份情谊从未中断。”沈国昊说。The squadron has also supported a local student, Gu Jiawang, since 2021, after a major change in his family circumstances put his education at risk. Its members set aside money from their allowances to support him and helped him with his schoolwork.自2021年以来，中队还持续帮助当地学生顾嘉旺。由于家庭情况发生重大变化，他的学业一度面临困难。中队官兵从自己的津贴中拿出钱资助他，并帮助他完成学习任务。In 2024, Gu was admitted to Beijing Normal University, where he majors in physical education.2024年，顾嘉旺考入北京师范大学，学习体育教育专业。This summer, he returned to the squadron, using what he had learned at university to help servicemen with training techniques.今年暑假，他回到中队，运用大学所学知识帮助官兵改进训练方法。"The squadron gave me a second home," Gu said. "In the future, I want to become a physical education teacher and pass this warmth on to more children.“中队给了我一个第二个家。”顾嘉旺说，“未来，我想成为一名体育老师，把这份温暖传递给更多孩子。”"I think that, too, is a kind of inheritance."“我觉得，这也是一种传承。”【词汇提炼】formation /fɔːrˈmeɪʃn/ n.队形；编队tribute /ˈtrɪbjuːt/ n.致敬；悼念；敬意 pay tribute to向……致敬oath /əʊθ/ n.誓言；誓词inheritance /ɪnˈherɪtəns/ n.传承；继承station /ˈsteɪʃn/ v.驻扎；派驻veteran /ˈvetərən/ n.老兵；退伍军人commemorate /kəˈmeməreɪt/ v.纪念

Former premier Zhu Rongji passed away in Beijing on Wednesday. He was 98.Zhu, who had served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 14th and 15th Central Committees of the Communist Party of China, died of illness, according to an official obituary.The obituary was jointly issued by the CPC Central Committee; the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature; the State Council, China's Cabinet; and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top political advisory body.It extolled Zhu as an excellent Party member, a time-tested and loyal communist fighter, and an outstanding proletarian revolutionist, statesman and leader of the Party and the State.Born in October 1928 in Changsha, Hunan province, Zhu joined revolutionary work in December 1948 and became a CPC member in October 1949.Between 1987 and 1991, he served successively as deputy secretary of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee, mayor of Shanghai, and secretary of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee.During his tenure, he advocated for adjusting the city's industrial structure, developing an export-oriented economy and enhancing its international competitiveness.Zhu played a crucial role in advancing the development and opening-up of Shanghai's Pudong New Area. His efforts laid a solid foundation for Shanghai's further reform, opening-up and development, the obituary said.In 1991, Zhu was appointed vice-premier of the State Council.In October 1992, he was elected a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and its standing committee, and he was responsible for the executive work of the State Council.In June 1993, he concurrently served as the governor of the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank.Zhu studied and developed approaches and measures to strengthen and improve macroeconomic regulation, making significant and effective contributions to curbing an overheated economy, reining in inflation and achieving an economic "soft landing".He pushed forward efforts to rectify and restore order in the fiscal and taxation sectors, accelerated fiscal and tax reforms and helped improve China's financial regulation system.In September 1997, Zhu was reelected a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and its standing committee.In March 1998, he was appointed premier of the State Council, and he later served as the secretary of the leading Party members group of the State Council.Facing the impact of the Asian financial crisis and the catastrophic flooding in China, Zhu focused on a shift from implementing a moderately tight fiscal and monetary policy to adopting a proactive fiscal policy and a prudent monetary policy, expanding domestic demand and deepening reforms in key areas, thereby maintaining steady and rapid economic growth.During Zhu's tenure as vice-premier and premier of the State Council, a series of policies and measures were adopted to expand opening-up, encourage exports, keep the renminbi exchange rate stable without devaluation, attract foreign investment, and firmly safeguard the prosperity and stability of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as an international financial center.He also presided over the implementation of major reforms in the social security system, healthcare system, and investment and financing system, among others, promoting the establishment of the basic framework of a socialist market economy.He oversaw the completion of the arduous negotiations for China's accession to the World Trade Organization.In March 2003, Zhu no longer served as premier of the State Council. After retiring from leadership posts, he steadfastly upheld and supported the leadership of the CPC Central Committee.He continued to care about the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and firmly supported efforts to improve conduct, promote integrity and fight corruption.Zhu's life was a revolutionary, fighting and glorious one, and one that was dedicated to wholeheartedly serving the people and the communist cause, the obituary said, adding that his death is a great loss to the Party and the State.

The values Americans hold dear—such as freedom of speech, religious liberty, and democratic elections—are weaponized by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), says Tianliang Zhang, an author, historian, and popular commentator on China affairs.In this episode, he argues that the CCP devised a master plan called “America against America” to exploit those very freedoms and openness in order to undermine U.S. interests.The concept was developed by Wang Huning in 1989, chairman of China's top political advisory body, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).“But how to implement that, that's the unrestricted war,” Zhang says.Unrestricted warfare is a CCP doctrine of leveraging everything as a tool of war, whether it be fentanyl, the media, or election integrity.How is this war waged in practice? The transnational repression targeting Falun Gong practitioners is one such example.The Falun Gong meditation practice was popular in China during the 1990s. An estimated 70 million to 100 million people took it up, crediting it for health benefits and mental well-being. In 1999, the CCP unleashed a nationwide persecution, subjecting the practitioners to various abuses, including slave labor and forced organ harvesting.“CCP sees it as [the] number one threat in its history … so they use American media, they use the freedom of speech here, they use the justice system here to persecute Falun Gong [practitioners],” Zhang said.The CCP's goal, Zhang says, is to “eliminate all the independent thoughts” that do not conform to communist ideology.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

If you've ever asked a Chinese colleague or partner a direct Yes-or-No question and gotten "maybe" back, you weren't being brushed off — you were told everything you needed to know, just not in the words you were listening for. Welcome to The Art of Maybe, a 6-part series where I break down the real Mandarin phrases Chinese people use instead of a flat "No," and what's actually happening underneath each one.Our (Western) direct communication style — the kind that's rewarded in corporate America — can unintentionally cost people Face in China. Seasoned China veterans don't see this as evasiveness; they see it as a skill worth learning. This series exists to teach you that skill, one phrase at a time.Phrase 1 of 6: 也许 (yěxǔ) — "Perhaps / Maybe"Situation: Your Chinese partner is pushing for a commitment to something you don't think is viable. The details are fuzzy, and you have serious concerns.The Western instinct ranges from "No, we couldn't possibly agree to those terms" to "I'm not sure this is the right direction — can you walk me through the details?" — notice how even the softest version is still loaded with resistance.In Mandarin: 也许我们可以找到一个好的解决方案 (Yěxǔ wǒmen kěyǐ zhǎodào yīgè hǎo de jiějué fāng'àn) — "Perhaps we can find a good solution."也许 is a pivot phrase. It keeps the conversation moving in a positive direction without making any commitment, signals goodwill, protects your counterpart's Face, and leaves your position open — a "non-answer" that says more negotiation is needed before anything can proceed.This is Episode 1 of 6 in The Art of Maybe. A new phrase drops every week — subscribe so you don't miss Phrase 2: 可能不太方便 (how to decline an unreasonable request without embarrassing anyone).Want to understand why this works? These six phrases are the practice — but the psychology behind them is the real skill. On my website, I've created a free 23-page guide, Chinese Thinking: Three Levers to Positively Influence Behavior in China, that breaks down how Face (面子), Pragmatism (现实), and Superstition (迷信) work together to explain Chinese behavior — and how to cooperate with it instead of fighting it.

The critical importance of cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation was underscored at the 18th Straits Forum in Xiamen, Fujian province, as participants from both sides of the Taiwan Strait gathered over the weekend, overcoming obstructions from island authorities.第十八届海峡论坛在福建省厦门市举行，周末期间，两岸与会人士克服台湾当局的阻挠齐聚一堂，凸显了两岸交流合作的极端重要性。The annual forum, which started in 2009, serves as a platform to promote mutual understanding and integration between the mainland and Taiwan, emphasizing the shared cultural and economic interests binding both sides.这一始于 2009 年的年度论坛是促进大陆与台湾相互了解与融合的平台，彰显了联结两岸的共同文化与经济利益。Addressing the main conference on Saturday, Wang Huning, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top political advisory body, called for resolute opposition to "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and external interference, urging joint efforts to advance peaceful cross-Strait relations and national reunification.中共中央政治局常委、全国政协主席王沪宁周六在大会上发表讲话，呼吁坚决反对 "台独" 分裂活动和外部干涉，共同推动两岸关系和平发展与国家统一。He emphasized that the mainland stands ready to share development opportunities with Taiwan compatriots, noting that the country's blueprint for the ongoing 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period will open up broader space for cross-Strait integration.他强调，大陆愿与台湾同胞分享发展机遇，我国 "十五五" 规划（2026-2030 年）蓝图将为两岸融合发展开辟更广阔空间。At a meeting on Saturday on advancing the development of the demonstration zone for integrated development across the Taiwan Strait, Wang urged greater progress in advancing such integration during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.王沪宁周六在推进海峡两岸融合发展示范区建设座谈会上，要求在 "十五五" 时期推动两岸融合发展取得更大进展。He called for supporting Fujian in exploring new mechanisms, pathways and models for cross-Strait integrated development. He also urged closer people-to-people and cultural exchanges.他要求支持福建探索两岸融合发展的新机制、新路径、新模式，同时深化两岸民间和文化交流。Under the theme of expanding people-to-people exchanges, this year's Straits Forum featured 58 diverse events covering grassroots, youth, cultural and economic exchange sectors.本届海峡论坛以 "扩大民间交流" 为主题，举办了 58 场涵盖基层、青年、文化、经济等交流领域的多元化活动。Earlier, Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities elevated restrictions by banning island officials from attending the event, marking the first time the island's grassroots officials were blocked from participation.此前，台湾民进党当局升级限制措施，禁止岛内官员出席本届论坛，这是首次禁止台湾基层官员参与海峡论坛。Addressing the forum despite these bans, Chang Jung-kung, vice-chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang party, said that despite twists and turns, the Straits Forum has always been committed to promoting exchanges and playing a critical role in cross-Strait relations.中国国民党副主席张荣恭出席论坛并表示，尽管历经曲折，海峡论坛始终致力于推动交流，在两岸关系中发挥着关键作用。During the forum, mainland enterprises signed agreements with various businesses and trade associations from Taiwan, buying signature agricultural goods including atemoya and pomelos, as well as tea and fishery products from counties such as Taitung, Yunlin and Nantou.论坛期间，大陆企业与台湾多家企业和行业协会签署协议，采购台东、云林、南投等县的释迦、柚子等特色农产品以及茶叶和渔产品。The contracts serve as a major step forward in implementing the 10 follow-up exchange policies introduced following the landmark cross-Strait meeting between leaders of the CPC and KMT in April, focusing on the practical livelihood needs of grassroots families and small business operators.这些协议是落实 4 月国共两党领导人历史性会晤后推出的 10 项后续交流政策的重要举措，聚焦基层家庭和小微企业经营者的实际民生需求。Yao Ching-ling, magistrate of Taitung county, said via a live video link that the purchase agreements were an immense encouragement to local farmers. "Agricultural and fishery products carry the core livelihoods of countless Taiwan families," she said.台东县县长饶庆铃通过视频连线表示，采购协议对当地农民是极大的鼓舞，她说："农渔产品承载着无数台湾家庭的核心生计。"A range of prominent figures and grassroots representatives also stepped onto the stage during the conference to share their stories of cross-Strait integration.多位知名人士和基层代表也在大会上登台，分享他们参与两岸融合发展的故事。Su Heng, a Taiwan political commentary vlogger, said grassroots perspectives and livelihood statistics best reflect the truth that artificial barriers can never block the shared enthusiasm of compatriots from both sides.台湾时政评论博主苏恒表示，基层视角和民生数据最能说明一个事实：人为障碍永远阻挡不了两岸同胞的共同热情。A massive number of Taiwan residents still crossed the Strait for markets, business cooperation and career opportunities, Su added.她补充道，仍有大量台湾同胞跨越海峡寻找市场、寻求商业合作和职业发展机遇。Lai Tsai-ta, co-founder and CEO of artificial intelligence pharmaceutical startup Metis TechBio Co, shared his journey on the mainland since 2019. Backed by over 10 million yuan ($1.48 million) in subsidies and startup services in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, his company grew into a recognized unicorn before listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in May.人工智能制药初创企业迈帝思生物科技有限公司联合创始人兼首席执行官赖财达分享了他自 2019 年以来在大陆的发展历程。在浙江省杭州市超过 1000 万元（约合 148 万美元）的补贴和创业服务支持下，他的公司成长为知名独角兽企业，并于今年 5 月在香港证券交易所上市。"The mainland offers sincere hospitality, strong policy backup, and a welcoming environment," Lai said, encouraging Taiwan youth to combine their professional skills with local industrial advantages to find their own perfect stage.赖财达表示："大陆有真诚的礼遇、有力的政策支持和友好的发展环境"，他鼓励台湾青年将专业技能与当地产业优势相结合，找到属于自己的理想舞台。underscore /ˌʌndəˈskɔː(r)/ v. 强调，凸显obstruction /əbˈstrʌkʃn/ n. 阻碍，障碍reunification /ˌriːjuːnɪfɪˈkeɪʃn/ n. 统一，重新统一integration /ˌɪntɪˈɡreɪʃn/ n. 融合，一体化

The top leaders of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea agreed on Tuesday that the two countries should carry forward their great traditional friendship from generation to generation.Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chinese president, and Kim Jong-un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, made the remarks as Xi paid homage to the China-DPRK Friendship Tower with his wife, Peng Liyuan, accompanied by Kim and his wife, Ri Sol-ju.Xi and Kim also agreed that the years when China and the DPRK fought side by side in the 1950s are an eternal historical memory shared by both countries.The two leaders pledged to jointly maintain memorial facilities dedicated to the Chinese People's Volunteers martyrs, carry out distinctive programs on revolutionary traditions and youth education, and carry forward the great spirit of the War to Resist United States Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-53).On Tuesday morning, Xi, accompanied by Kim, also visited the Central Cadres Training School of the WPK in Pyongyang.In the wooded area between teaching buildings, Xi and Kim jointly planted a fir tree. The fir tree remains evergreen throughout the year, symbolizing the enduring and ever-renewing friendship between China and the DPRK.Before departing for Beijing, Xi and Peng attended a luncheon hosted by Kim and Ri.Xi said that he reached an important consensus with Kim on developing relations between China and the DPRK in the new era.The two sides also had in-depth discussions on safeguarding peace and stability in the region and the world, Xi said.Xi thanked Kim for the warm hospitality and thoughtful arrangements for the visit, noting that through the visit, the warmth and friendship extended by the WPK and the DPRK government and people toward the CPC and the Chinese government and people are felt even more deeply.The mutual understanding between China and the DPRK has become deeper and more comprehensive, and the future development direction has become clearer and more definite, Xi said.He also said that he is ready to work with Kim to jointly lead China-DPRK relations toward greater development and inject new and strong impetus into the socialist cause of the two countries.Kim said that Xi's visit was a complete success, sending a positive message to the world that the DPRK and China are strengthening their friendly cooperation further, attracting widespread attention from various sides.Xi's visit was of great significance to bilateral relations and the future development of the region, Kim said, noting that the DPRK stands ready to earnestly implement the important consensus reached during the visit, promote new tangible outcomes in bilateral cooperation, and advance DPRK-China relations to a new and higher level.On Tuesday afternoon, Xi returned to Beijing after concluding his two-day state visit to the DPRK. Kim and his wife went to the airport to see Xi and his wife off, holding a grand farewell ceremony in their honor.carry forward /ˈkæri ˈfɔːwəd/弘扬；传承pledge /pledʒ/承诺；保证dedicate /ˈdedɪkeɪt/献给；用于martyrs /ˈmɑːtəz/烈士impetus /ˈɪmpɪtəs/动力；推动力evergreen /ˈevəɡriːn/常青的safeguard /ˈseɪfɡɑːd/维护；捍卫arrangements /əˈreɪndʒmənts/安排tangible /ˈtændʒəbl/切实的；有形的

节目简介｜Episode Description｜エピソード紹介这一期《5分钟中文》，我想聊聊为什么很多外国人会觉得中国人特别有钱。很多中国游客在海外旅游的时候，看起来都很爱花钱、买很多东西。但其实，这背后还有一个很多人没有意识到的原因，那就是：中国人出国旅游本身就有比较高的签证门槛。这一期节目，我会跟大家聊聊签证、免签，还有为什么很多能够出国旅游的中国人，其实已经是“被筛选过”的人。In this episode of 5 Minute Chinese, I talk about why many foreigners think Chinese people are rich.Chinese tourists abroad often appear to spend a lot of money, but another important reason behind this impression is the relatively high visa barrier for Chinese travelers.In this episode, I talk about visas, visa-free travel, and why many Chinese tourists overseas have already been “filtered” by the visa system.今回の《5分钟中文》では、「なぜ外国人は中国人はお金持ちだと思うのか？」というテーマについてお話しします。海外旅行をしている中国人観光客は、お金をよく使う印象があります。でも、その背景には、中国人が海外旅行をするためには比較的高いビザ取得のハードルがある、という理由もあります。今回は、ビザやビザ免除、そして海外旅行できる中国人が実はすでに「選ばれた層」であるということについてお話しします。#中国游客 #签证 #免签 #海外旅行 #出境游 #旅游消费 #ChineseTourists #中国観光客Send us Fan MailSupport the show如果您喜欢我的播客，欢迎通过下方方式表达您的支持。您的支持对我来说是巨大的鼓励。但无论如何，我都很感激有您作为听众。能够每周与您分享几分钟的时光，对我来说是莫大的荣幸。❤️If you enjoy my podcast, you're welcome to show your support through the options below.

节目简介｜Episode Description｜エピソード紹介这一期《5分钟中文》，我想聊一个很多中国人对美国人的印象：美国人特别有钱。美国收入确实很高，但很多人可能没有注意到，美国很多收入其实是税前收入，而且美国人也有很多固定的大额支出。另外，美元的购买力优势，也会让美国人在出国旅游的时候显得“很有钱”。In this episode of 5 Minute Chinese, I talk about a common impression many Chinese people have about Americans: that Americans are very rich.While incomes in the US are indeed high, many people may not realize that these numbers are usually before taxes, and Americans also have many large fixed expenses. At the same time, the strong purchasing power of the US dollar can make Americans appear especially wealthy when traveling abroad.今回の「5分钟中文」では、多くの中国人が持っている「アメリカ人はとてもお金持ち」というイメージについて話します。実際にアメリカの収入水準は高いですが、その多くは税引き前の数字です。また、アメリカでは保険や医療など固定費も大きいです。一方で、ドルの購買力が強いため、海外旅行ではアメリカ人がとても裕福に見えることもあります。#美国生活 #中美文化 #美国收入 #美国印象 #美元 #AmericanLife #ChinesePerspective #CulturalDifferencesSend us Fan MailSupport the show如果您喜欢我的播客，欢迎通过下方方式表达您的支持。您的支持对我来说是巨大的鼓励。但无论如何，我都很感激有您作为听众。能够每周与您分享几分钟的时光，对我来说是莫大的荣幸。❤️If you enjoy my podcast, you're welcome to show your support through the options below.

In today's mandarin podcast we interviewed Cherry from the  @chinesemandarincherry  Chinese Teacher Cherry is young, open-minded, and has experienced life abroad as well as life in big cities in China. But in the end, she made a surprising decision: she left the fast-paced city life behind and moved to Tengchong, a small town in Yunnan.Why would someone choose a quieter and simpler life after seeing so much of the world? What kind of mindset and inner journey led her to make this decision?In this natural Chinese conversation, we talk about modern Chinese culture and China life, pressure in big cities, slow living in China, and the different ways young Chinese people think about happiness and success today.This is also a great video for Chinese learners — you'll hear natural spoken Mandarin, real opinions, and authentic cultural perspectives through comprehensible conversation.Whether you're learning Chinese or simply curious about life in China beyond Beijing and Shanghai, I hope you enjoy this interview.

The courage of President Trump today, May 13, 2026, in flying at incredible personal risk into the belly of the beast in Beijing is breathtaking. You can be sure that, far more than the deranged Trump haters in America, the Chinese PEOPLE are in awe of that courage. They KNOW what “safety” they or anyone else can enjoy inside the Communist regime that has murdered more of its own people than any other tyranny in history.

In this episode of Pekingology, CSIS Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Neil Thomas, Fellow on Chinese Politics at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis. They discuss the significance of China's recent "Two Sessions," where the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference come together with great pageantry to announce new policies. Neil unpacks the state of China's elite politics and purges, the highlights of the 15th Five-Year Plan, President Xi's conservative approach to policymaking, and who might rise to important roles during Xi's fourth term. 

The fourth session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference has concluded in Beijing. The week-long annual session of China's top political advisory body drew more than 2,100 committee members to deliberate on state affairs and offer proposals.

Digital: Tool fully resonates with real market demand数字领域：这款AI工具完全契合真实市场需求An artificial intelligence-powered digital personal assistant developed by an Austria-born millennial inventor — and acquired by the United States-based company OpenAI — has taken the world by storm, sending Chinese tech giants into a scramble to launch localized versions of the open-source AI tool while prompting regulators to warn of potential security risks.人工智能驱动型数字化个人助理"OpenClaw"近期引爆全球科技圈。这款由奥地利出生的千禧一代发明家开发、后被美国企业开放人工智能研究中心（OpenAI）收购的AI工具，不仅引发中国科技巨头争相推出本土化版本，更促使监管部门就潜在安全风险发出预警提示。OpenClaw is an autonomous AI agent that runs on a user's machine, and unlike standard tools that wait for a prompt, it is capable of managing emails and controlling web browsers on its own to complete workflows, especially through various messaging apps. The digital agent's curious red lobster logo has led Chinese users to playfully refer to it as the "AI lobster".OpenClaw作为可在用户终端自主运行的AI智能体，与传统被动响应指令的工具不同，它能独立管理邮件、操控浏览器完成工作流程，尤其在各类即时通讯应用中表现突出。其标志性的红色龙虾标识被中国网友戏称为AI"龙虾"。Industry experts said that what started as a developer's experiment overseas has quickly evolved into a broader technology movement in China. They said that it outlines a different path for China's AI development, with key focus on building "small but capable" practical tools, rather than competing solely in terms of size and computing power.行业专家指出，这个源于海外开发者的实验性项目已在中国演变为广泛的技术革新浪潮。他们认为这为中国AI发展开辟了新路径：重点打造"小而精"的实用工具，而非单纯比拼模型规模和算力。On Monday, China's State-backed national supercomputing network joined the trend by announcing that OpenClaw services were connected to its major interactive workplace platforms, including ByteDance's Feishu and Tencent's WeCom. The network is known for its cost-effective use of large, high-performance digital models.3月9日，国家超算互联网平台宣布OpenClaw服务已接入字节跳动飞书、腾讯企业微信等主流协同办公平台。该平台以低成本调用高性能大模型著称。On the same day, Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings rolled out WorkBuddy, a full-scenario AI agent designed to integrate with Chinese workplace and messaging tools. Compatible with OpenClaw's core skills, WorkBuddy simplifies the process of setting up "AI lobster" into a one-minute configuration that seamlessly connects with popular apps such as QQ.同日，腾讯推出全场景AI智能体"WorkBuddy"，不仅兼容OpenClaw核心功能，更将配置流程简化至一分钟内，可无缝衔接QQ等国民级应用。Last week, Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi announced that it has begun limited testing of miclaw, a mobile AI agent built on the company's proprietary model. The software is designed to integrate directly with Xiaomi's smartphone ecosystem, enabling tasks such as travel planning, schedule management and smart home control.上周，小米公司启动基于自研大模型的移动端AI智能体miclaw封闭测试，该应用深度整合至小米智能生态，可实现行程规划、日程管理及智能家居控制等功能。Zhou Hongyi, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top political advisory body, said on the sidelines of the ongoing two sessions that "AI lobster" has transformed intangible cloud software into a digital personal assistant that lives in a user's computer, and most important, it is incredibly easy to operate.第十四届全国政协委员、360集团创始人周鸿祎在两会间隙表示：""龙虾"把原来看不见摸不着的云上软件，变成了每个人在电脑里养的专属助手，而且操纵起来非常方便。""Historically, high-end AI models were the specialty of some tech giants and came with high operating costs. The 'AI lobster' breaks this monopoly and makes AI affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized enterprises as well as individuals," said Zhou, who is also founder of the 360 Security Group."长期以来，高端AI模型往往掌握在少数巨头手中，且运行成本极高，AI"龙虾"的出现打破了这种垄断，让中小企业和个人开发者也能"玩得起、用得上"。"Last week, nearly 1,000 people gathered outside Tencent's headquarters in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, carrying their laptops in order to participate in a free OpenClaw installation event announced by the company.上周在腾讯深圳总部举办的免费OpenClaw安装活动，吸引了近千名用户携带笔记本电脑到场。On Chinese e-commerce platforms, remote OpenClaw installation services cost between 50 yuan and 300 yuan ($7 to $40), while the price tag for in-person services is around 500 yuan.国内电商平台上，远程安装服务价格在50-300元之间，上门服务则报价500元左右。Zhou Di, a professor at Hangzhou Dianzi University in Zhejiang province and a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, noted that "AI lobster" has gained huge popularity in the Chinese market because it fully resonates with the real market demand for AI in the country.第十四届全国人大代表、杭州电子科技大学教授周迪指出："AI"龙虾"在中国市场爆火，这是技术发展必然性与市场需求的一次完美共振。""China develops AI differently than the US," he said. "China doesn't rely only on building bigger models that require huge computing power. Instead, it develops efficient and lightweight models, much like the 'AI lobster', allowing them to take root in vertical sectors, such as industrial inspection and medical diagnostics, to solve real-world problems.""中美AI发展路径存在差异，中国不仅追求大算力模型，更注重发展类似AI"龙虾"的高效的小型化、轻量化模型，使其在工业质检、医疗诊断等垂直场景中落地生根。"Nevertheless, the growing popularity of a foreign AI tool has raised concerns. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology warned that some OpenClaw installations could pose "extremely high" security risks.不过，外来AI工具的热潮也引发监管关注。工信部日前警示，部分OpenClaw安装包存在"极高"安全风险"If not configured properly, it will have the potential to expose sensitive data," the regulator said."若配置不当，极易引发信息泄露等安全问题。"take the world by storm /teɪk ðə wɜːld baɪ stɔːm/风靡全球AI agent /ˌeɪˈaɪ ˈeɪdʒənt/ AI智能体high-end /ˈhaɪ end/高端的resonates with /ˈrezəneɪts wɪð/引起共鸣lightweight models /ˈlaɪtweɪt ˈmɒdlz/轻量级模型

National political advisers have been urged to build consensus and pool wisdom for the country to achieve a good start for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30).全国政协委员为“十五五”开好局、起好步广泛凝心聚力，贡献智慧和力量。The fourth session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top political advisory body, opened on Wednesday at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, raising the curtain on this year's two sessions of China's top legislative and political advisory bodies.3月4日，全国政协十四届四次会议在北京人民大会堂开幕，标志着今年两会正式拉开帷幕。President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, and other leaders attended the opening meeting, joining around 2,100 CPPCC National Committee members from across the country and various sectors.中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平等党和国家领导人出席开幕会，与来自全国各界、各领域的约2100名全国政协委员共同参会。Wang Huning, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, delivered a work report on behalf of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, saying that 2025 was a pivotal year for China's path to modernization.全国政协主席王沪宁代表政协第十四届全国委员会常务委员会作工作报告，指出2025年是中国式现代化进程中具有重要意义的一年。Amid complex global and domestic challenges, China concluded the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) successfully, with strength in the economy, technology and defense reaching new heights, he said.面对错综复杂的国际形势和艰巨繁重的国内改革发展稳定任务，我国 “十四五” 圆满收官，经济实力、科技实力、国防实力迈上新台阶Over the past year, the CPPCC National Committee contributed to the country's development by organizing 98 consultative and deliberative activities. It received 5,992 proposals from members, of which 5,061 were accepted for processing and the response rate for the accepted proposals reached 99.9 percent, providing reference for the government, according to the report.一年来，全国政协共举办各类协商议政活动98场次，收到提案5992件，立案5061件，办复率99.9%，为政府决策提供了重要参考。Wang called for suggestions and deliberation during the session to be centered on the implementation of the new five-year plan.王沪宁指出，要围绕“十五五”规划实施议政建言。"We should focus on key issues in fields including economic development, scientific and technological innovation, reform and opening-up, social construction and people's livelihoods, and reflect social conditions and public opinion in a practical manner," he said.要围绕经济发展、科技创新、改革开放、社会建设、民生保障等领域重点问题，实事求是反映社情民意。Wang said the CPPCC National Committee will implement a democratic supervision work plan for the 15th Five-Year Plan period to help promote the implementation of major decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee.全国政协要实施好“十五五”时期全国政协民主监督工作计划，助推中共中央重大决策部署贯彻落实。The CPPCC National Committee will also hold activities to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the birth of Sun Yat-sen, a revered national hero and pioneer of the country's democratic revolution. It will strengthen foreign exchanges and better tell the stories of China's democracy, he added.要办好纪念孙中山先生诞辰160周年活动。要加强政协对外友好交往，讲好中国故事、中国全过程人民民主故事。Jiang Ying, CPPCC National Committee member and chairwoman of Deloitte China, said that as the nation gets ready to start the 15th Five-Year Plan, its push for high-level opening-up and win-win cooperation shows it is committed to high-quality growth through openness.全国政协委员、德勤中国主席蒋颖表示，在"十五五"规划即将开启之际，我国持续推进高水平对外开放和互利共赢合作，彰显了以开放促高质量发展的决心。"This is good news for global businesses — giving them more confidence and new opportunities," Jiang said, adding that China's continuous progress in areas like the digital economy and green transformation is attracting more multinational enterprises to base their research and development in China."这为全球企业带来更多信心与机遇，我国在数字经济、绿色转型等领域的持续突破，正吸引越来越多跨国企业将研发中心落户中国。"She said that managing cross-border data flows has become a key issue in high-level opening-up and her proposal this year highlights the problems enterprises face in cross-border data flows, aiming at making it easier and more convenient for enterprises to comply with regulations.蒋颖指出，跨境数据流动已成为高水平对外开放的关键议题，今年她重点关注企业数据跨境流动痛点，助力提升企业合规便利化水平。Li Shufu, a CPPCC National Committee member and chairman of Geely Holding Group, identified the "new trio" — electric vehicles, lithium batteries and photovoltaics — as pivotal trends for social progress.全国政协委员、吉利控股集团董事长李书福认为，电动汽车、锂电池、光伏产品"新三样"已成为社会发展的重要趋势。While noting that the auto industry is shifting from "involution-style" competition toward sustainable growth through technology and quality, Li said that Geely is working to convert unstable wind and solar energy into stable liquid fuels for storage and transportation.当前汽车行业正从"内卷式"竞争转向依托技术与质量的可持续发展，吉利正探索将不稳定的风光资源转化为稳定的液态燃料，实现能源的跨时空存储与运输。Clarence Ling Chun-kit, a CPPCC National Committee member from Hong Kong, said that given current cross-Strait tensions, frequent communication is more important than ever and he will focus more this year on youth exchanges.来自香港的全国政协委员凌俊杰表示，面对当前两岸关系形势，加强交流沟通至关重要，今年他将重点关注两岸青年交流。Noting that cross-Strait integration in scientific areas like artificial intelligence and computing during the 15th Five-year Plan period is essential, Ling said Hong Kong serves as a "natural bridge" to help Taiwan compatriots understand the "real situation on the Chinese mainland" through shared cultural and trade ties.他强调，在"十五五"规划期间推动人工智能、算力等科技领域的两岸融合发展尤为重要，香港可发挥天然桥梁作用，通过深化文化经贸纽带，帮助台湾同胞更好了解大陆真实发展情况。cross-border data flows /ˌkrɒsˈbɔːdə ˈdeɪtə fləʊz/跨境数据流动 photovoltaics /ˌfəʊtəʊvɒlˈteɪɪks/光伏 involution /ˌɪnvəˈluːʃən/内卷

China's top political advisory body has opened its annual session in Beijing. In 2025, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference received nearly 6,000 proposals and registered around 5,000 of them. The handling rate of the proposals stood at more than 99 percent.

China's "Two Sessions" is currently underway as policymakers map out the country's next stage of development amid global uncertainty. Deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will review the government's work report and 2026 budget, while also formulating the blueprint that will shape the 15th Five-Year Plan through 2030. How will this impact the world's second-largest economy and the wider international landscape?

When China's top political advisory body and legislature convene this week for their annual sessions, the major item on their agendas will be a draft outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30). The deeper story, however, lies in how these gatherings have evolved into a mechanism through which the country's leadership translates strategic vision into operational governance and concrete results.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping has participated in deliberations and exchanges with National People's Congress deputies and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee more than 60 times, guiding the trajectory of China's modernization.Xi's emphasis during these meetings on high-quality development, innovation-driven growth and people-centered governance has provided a consistent policy framework that has helped China navigate a volatile global environment while sustaining growth and stability.China's GDP surpassed 140 trillion yuan ($20.4 trillion) last year, amid supply-chain disruptions and rising geopolitical tensions — evidence of a system that has prioritized resilience and structural upgrading over short-term stimulus.What distinguishes Xi's engagement at the two sessions is its granular focus. Xi has communicated extensively with NPC deputies and CPPCC National Committee members on factory productivity, rural incomes, eldercare services, environmental remediation, talent cultivation, etc. This micro-to-macro feedback loop is effective in strengthening communications between the leadership and those from all walks of life. When a steel plant manager reports that digital upgrades have raised productivity, or a community social worker describes improved eldercare services following targeted policy guidance, these examples become data points in a broader effort to recalibrate national priorities toward quality, efficiency and equity in national social and economic development.A theme emerging from Xi's participation in these discussions is the primacy of high-quality development. His assertion that without high-quality development, there can be no socialist modernization reflects an understanding familiar to economists: growth that relies on diminishing returns, environmental degradation or excessive leverage is self-limiting. By urging authorities at various levels to develop new quality productive forces while upgrading traditional industries, the leadership has sought to promote technological diffusion and industrial modernization rather than premature deindustrialization.The results are visible in multiple sectors. Artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing are reshaping production models, while breakthroughs in materials science and power equipment are reducing dependence on foreign inputs. These developments suggest a pragmatic strategy to move up the value chain while preserving and optimizing the country's manufacturing base.Xi's calls to improve talent-training mechanisms and align education with economic needs reflect a recognition that human capital is the foundation for these endeavors. The development of national engineering academies, university technology transfer centers and industry-education partnerships indicates an attempt to institutionalize this linkage. In economic terms, China is trying to internalize the spillover benefits of innovation by embedding research, production and skills development within a unified policy ecosystem.Equally notable is the sustained focus on people's livelihoods. Xi's exchanges with farmers, migrant workers, grassroots civil servants and researchers on poverty alleviation, rural vitalization, employment and eldercare underscore the people-first principle of the country's public policies. The transformation of once-impoverished villages through infrastructure, e-commerce and eco-tourism, and the expansion of community-based services for the elderly, illustrate a shift from subsistence security to quality-of-life improvements. This aligns with the goal of advancing common prosperity — which balances efficiency with social fairness and justice.Environmental policy provides another lens through which to assess the modernization agenda. The concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets has been operationalized through nationwide ecological restoration, renewable energy deployment and desertification control. Regions once defined by environmental degradation are now experimenting with solar power, eco-tourism and sustainable agriculture, suggesting that environmental stewardship is being integrated into local growth models rather than treated as an external constraint.Xi's engagement with the national lawmakers and political advisers at the two sessions since 2012 highlights the way in which the country aligns good governance with economic transformation and social welfare in pursuit of national modernization.

主播：Emma（中国）+ Selah（美国） 音乐：The Best is Yet to Come最近，社交媒体上经常会有网友分享“外国人模仿中国人的生活习惯”的视频，而且“becoming Chinese（变成中国人）”也引发了网友们的关注。今天我们就一起来聊一聊“becoming Chinese”这一趋势。01. Chinese-style Way of Living 中式生活方式TikTok上有许多视频用了这样的tag（标签）：You met me at a very Chinese time in my life (你在我生命中“特别中国”的时候遇见了我)。这里的“Chinese”并不是指“国籍（nationality）”，更多的是一种state of life (生活状态) 或者lifestyle (生活方式)。��在这些视频中，外国人的“a very Chinese time”是什么样的呢？最典型的（most typical）就是drinking hot water（喝热水）了，几乎每个视频里都会出现。在中国，尤其是冬天的时候，大家都不太会喝凉的东西。除此之外，还有：Drinking traditional herbal medicine 喝中药Goji berries in hot water 泡枸杞Drinking honey water 喝蜂蜜水当然，还少不了冬天必备的经典中国美食——hot pot（火锅）！冬天一家人围在一起吃火锅，真的很幸福。这些治愈系食物（comfort foods）让人感到温暖、有家的气息（homey）。很多人也因此爱上（fall in love with）中国美食、网络段子（Chinese internet jokes）或者古风音乐（traditional-style music）。02. Chinese People's Daily Lives 中国人的日常生活这些被外国网友模仿的行为，不是完全等同于中国人的日常生活，比如中国人冬天确实会常吃火锅，但不会天天吃。其实更真实、更平常的“中式生活”习惯是这样的：（1）早上不吃生冷食物；（2）夏天喝绿豆汤防中暑；（3）生病时会喝粥（congee）；It's not just about nutrition (营养), but also about how it makes you feel.（4）吃饭时大家共享菜品，再配点汤；（5）美剧里大家基本都是早上洗澡（morning showers），但其实在中国，人们更倾向于晚上洗澡（shower before bed）。So becoming Chinese is not about doing one thing. 这其实是一种生活节奏（a whole rhythm of life）的差异。03. Why Are More and More Foreign People Attempting to “Become Chinese”? 为什么越来越多外国人尝试“变成中国人”？这种生活方式之所以吸引外国人，或许是因为其中透出的关怀感与平衡感（the sense of care and balance）。许多人在快节奏、高压的生活中（fast-paced, high-stress lifestyles），开始向往一种更慢（slower）、更温暖（warmer）、更带着心意（more intentional）的生活习惯。最近，一位中国博主对此做了特别温暖的回应，这个视频获得了超高的点赞量，她表示：“My culture can be your culture.”（我的文化也可以是你的文化。）这句话让人感到无比开放与包容（incredibly open and welcoming）。评论区也同样暖心：（1）“I am having so much fun being Chinese.” 成为中国人太有意思啦！（2）“Thank you for accepting us.” 谢谢你们接纳我们。（3）“This is my first day being Chinese, and everyone is being so nice.” 成为中国人的第一天，大家都这么友善。这让我们看到，文化可以是共享的，而不是被圈起来守护的（shared instead of guarded）。网络中的这种和谐（harmony），其实是文化被温柔对待、被理解与被尊重的体现。也许这股趋势的真正意义就在于：Not copying, but connecting. 不是模仿，而是靠近。欢迎大家在评论区留言：What is your view on “becoming Chinese”? 你对“becoming Chinese”是什么看法？

Days after the announcement of the largest U.S. arms sale to Taiwan, the Chinese People's Liberation Army launched 'Justice Mission 2025' – the latest sophisticated military drills around Taiwan, as a stern warning to the separatist forces and external interference. Are these drills justified deterrence or sheer aggression, as often labeled by certain foreign critics? Has China abandoned its effort to seek peaceful development of cross-Strait ties? How to read U.S. President Donald Trump's real Taiwan policy?

Greetings to all! Year after year, life opens a fresh chapter. As the new year begins, I extend my best wishes to you from Beijing!The year 2025 marks the completion of China's 14th Five-Year Plan for economic and social development. Over the past five years, we have pressed ahead with enterprise and fortitude, and overcome many difficulties and challenges. We met the targets in the Plan and made solid advances on the new journey of Chinese modernization. Our economic output has crossed thresholds one after another, and it is expected to reach RMB 140 trillion yuan this year. Our economic strength, scientific and technological abilities, defense capabilities, and composite national strength all reached new heights. Clear waters and lush mountains have become a salient feature of our landscape. Our people enjoy a growing sense of gain, happiness and security. The past five years have been a truly remarkable journey, and our accomplishments have not come easily. Your unwavering hard work has made our nation thrive and prosper. I salute you all for your exceptional diligence and invaluable contributions.This year is full of indelible memories. We solemnly commemorated the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and established the Taiwan Recovery Day. These grand national events were majestic and powerful, and the glory of victory will shine through the pages of history. They are inspiring all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation to remember history, honor fallen heroes, cherish peace, and create a better future. They are rallying a mighty force for the great rejuvenation of our nation.We sought to energize high-quality development through innovation. We integrated science and technology deeply with industries, and made a stream of new innovations. Many large AI models have been competing in a race to the top, and breakthroughs have been achieved in the research and development of our own chips. All this has turned China into one of the economies with the fastest growing innovation capabilities. The Tianwen 2 probe began its star-chasing journey to explore asteroids and comets. Construction of the hydropower project at the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River started. China's first aircraft carrier equipped with an electromagnetic catapult system was officially commissioned. Humanoid robots did kung fu kicks, and drones performed spectacular light shows. Inventions and innovations have boosted new quality productive forces and added colorful dimensions to our lives.We endeavored to nurture our spiritual home with cultural development. There was a surging public interest in cultural relics, museums, and intangible cultural heritage. A new Chinese cultural site was added to the World Heritage List. Cultural IPs such as Wukong and Nezha became global hits. The younger generation came to deem classic Chinese culture as the finest form of aesthetic expression. The cultural and tourism sectors thrived. The "super league" football games in our cities and villages attracted numerous fans. Ice and snow sports ignited people's passion for the winter season. Tradition is now embracing modernity, and the Chinese culture is shining in even greater splendor.We joined hands to build a better life and enjoyed it together. I attended celebrations in Xizang and Xinjiang. From the snow-covered plateau to both sides of the Tianshan Mountains, people of various ethnic groups are united as one, like seeds of a pomegranate sticking together. With white khatas and passionate singing and dancing, they expressed their love of the motherland and the happiness they enjoy. No issue of the people is too small; we care for every leaf and tend every branch in the garden of people's well-being. Over the past year, the rights and interests of the workforce in new forms of employment have been better protected, facilities have been upgraded to bring more convenience to the elderly, and each family with childcare needs has received a subsidy of RMB 300 yuan per month. When the happy hum of daily life fills every home, the big family of our nation will go from strength to strength.We continued to embrace the world with open arms. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Tianjin and the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women were very successful; and island-wide special customs operations were launched in the Hainan Free Trade Port. To better address climate change, China announced new Nationally Determined Contributions. After announcing the three global initiatives on development, security, and civilization, I put forward the Global Governance Initiative to promote a more just and equitable global governance system. The world today is undergoing both changes and turbulence, and some regions are still engulfed in war. China always stands on the right side of history, and is ready to work with all countries to advance world peace and development and build a community with a shared future for humanity.Not long ago, I attended the opening ceremony of the National Games, and I was glad to see Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao coming together in unity and acting in unison. We should unswervingly implement the policy of One Country, Two Systems, and support Hong Kong and Macao in better integrating into the overall development of our country and maintaining long-term prosperity and stability. We Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share a bond of blood and kinship. The reunification of our motherland, a trend of the times, is unstoppable!Only a strong Communist Party of China can make our country strong. We launched the study and education program on fully implementing the central Party leadership's eight-point decision on improving Party and government conduct. We exercised strict governance of the Party through credible measures, and promoted the Party's self-revolution to fight corruption and advance healthy governance. As a result, the conduct of our Party and government steadily improved. We must stay true to our original aspiration and founding mission, and pursue our goal with perseverance and dedication. We should continue to give a good answer to the question on how to maintain long-term governance put forth in a cave dwelling in Yan'an and prove ourselves worthy of the people's expectation in the new era.The year 2026 marks the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan. A successful venture should start with a good plan and with clear goals set. We should focus on our goals and tasks, boost confidence, and build momentum to press ahead. We should take solid steps to promote high-quality development, further deepen reform and opening up across the board, deliver prosperity for all, and write a new chapter in the story of China's miracle.The dream lofty, the journey long-bold strides will get us there. Let us charge ahead like horses with courage, vitality, and energy, fight for our dreams and our happiness, and turn our great vision into beautiful realities.The sun of the new year will soon rise. May our great motherland stand in magnificence! May the fields across the country deliver good harvest! May our nation bathe in the glory of the morning! May you all enjoy life to the fullest, and achieve every success! May all your dreams come true!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPTTlkWeVs Comrade Zhou Fe, Minster at the Embassy of the People's Republic of China and member of the Chinese Communist Party speaks at our celebration of the Great Socialist October Revolution. Cde Zhou celebrates the 80th anniversary of the victory over Fascism in the great people's anti-fascist War - in which the Soviet Peoples gave 27 million lives and the Chinese people an incredible 40 million lives to defeat the combined forces of German and Japanese Fascism over a protracted period of struggle that encompassed WW2. China is Socialist - and the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party have their origins in and trace their roots to the Great Socialist October Revolution, he says! The Chinese communist party and the PRC continue to grow the economy by leaps and bounds, transforming the prosperity and the lives of the working people, maintaining and safeguarding their independence and in so doing transforming the world for the greater good of humanity. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to the heroic sacrifices of the Chinese People and their lasting contribution to building toward a peaceful and stable, sustainable world. China's great green wall project is responsible for a quarter of global afforestation. China's energy consumption is becoming predominantly based upon green and carbon neutral energy (hydro-electric, photovoltaic, wind and tidal, geothermal and Solar-produced Hydrogen as well as nuclear). China's technological advance is allowing it to break the grip of the monopoly capitalists, in particular the Anglo-American and EU imperialists. China is allowing, via the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, BRICS and the Belt and Road initiative, the whole world a pathway out of financial subjection to the imperialist powers. Long live the legacy of the Great Socialist October Revolution! Long live the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party! Subscribe! Donate!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxQdXriEJwg Ranjeet Brar, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) delivers the closing speech at our celebration to mark the 108th anniversary of the Great Socialist October Revolution of November 7th 1917. There have been many revolutions, but not all have had the same significance - because not all are able to perpetuate themselves as the new state apparatus, and create a lasting government that goes on to benefit the people in a creative and positive way, embodying the ideas of the movements and masses that brought about the revolution in the first instance. The October Revolution was such a revolution, and moreover it was a popular mass uprising against the tyranny of Tsardom and Reactionary Capitalist Imperialism that had not only created a world groaning under the weight of colonial slavery, but was drowning that world in blood in order to re-divide its markets, resources and wage-slaves among the chief imperialist powers, the Robber-Barons of finance capital. The October Revolution, in Lenin's words, broke the iron circle of imperialist ties, and the workers of all countries applauded them and supported them for their brave action - that showed the clear path forward for all workers and oppressed. "Peace! Bread! Land!" was the slogan of the October Revolution, and it was the Russian Revolution of October 1917 that brought the end of the 'great' inter-imperialist World War. This year we also celebrate the 80th anniversary victory in the Great anti-Fascist war (WW2), in which the Heroic peoples of the USSR gave 27 million lives, and the Chinese People a staggering 40 million lives in order to vanquish Fascism. Fascism was the naked aggressive terroristic dictatorship of the capitalist class - which the latter resort to when the workers rose in revolutionary temper, organisation and action - in order to suppress the workers and drown the revolution in blood. We see today, that in the face of its global crisis of overproduction, in a desperate attempt to save the moribund capitalist system, that the NATO countries, in particular the Anglo-America imperialists and EU imperialist ruling class, have resurrected fascism and are waging desperate wars against he Peoples of Russia - this time using Ukrainian Fascist strom-troops - and waging a genocidal war upon the peoples of the Middle East, notably in Palestine. They are fighting too in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Congo, Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali, and continue to tighten their financial and political stranglehold upon all neo-colonial countries, while attempting to subvert the socialist nations of Cuba and the DPRK, and all independent countries - notably those of BRICS, with an overwhelming strategic vision and dream of bringing down Russia and China and securing once more their 'unipolar' world order. Yet for all that, the tide of global anti-imperialist resistance is rising. We salute all who have joined this heroic struggle against NATO imperialism, and say unequivocally that British Workers too must break our chains of bondage to our ruling class and join that fight. A better, socialist world is possible. Join us and join the struggle for the liberation of Humanity! ‪@garlandn‬ ‪@revolutionaryblackoutnetwork‬ ‪@neutralitystudies‬ Subscribe! Donate!

I'm joined by Nick Zeller (https://uscnpm.substack.com/) and Craig Kafura (https://bsky.app/profile/ckafura.bsky.social) to discuss a public opinion poll carried out earlier this year and what it tells us about what Chinese people really think about China. Broken down into 4 reports, we talk about the economy, China-US relations, global leadership, the impact of demographics on answers and why the reaction from westerners reveal an ideological bent and a lack understanding of Chinese society.Read the reports here: https://globalaffairs.org/sites/default/files/2025-09/CCGA-Carter%20Center_China%20International%20Relations%20Report.pdf https://globalaffairs.org/sites/default/files/2025-09/CCGA-Carter%20Center_China%20Economics%20Report.pdfhttps://globalaffairs.org/sites/default/files/2025-09/CCGA-Carter%20Center_China%20Global%20Role%20Report.pdfhttps://globalaffairs.org/sites/default/files/2025-09/CCGA-Carter%20Center_China-US%20Relations%20Report.pdfChapters (00:00) Introduction & what the survey is about(06:00) Challenges of doing a survey in China(11:00) How faithful do you think the answers are?(14:50) Report 1: Friends with benefits(28:10) Report 2: Economic outlook(40:00) Report 3: Relations with the US(53:55) Report 4: China as a global leaderBuy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sinobabblepodLatest Substack post: https://open.substack.com/pub/sinobabble/p/famine-and-food-security-in-chinese?r=bgkuv&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueLinks to everything: https://linktree.com/sinobabbleSupport the showSign up for Buzzsprout to launch your podcasting journey: https://www.buzzsprout.com/?referrer_id=162442Subscribe to the Sinobabble Newsletter: https://sinobabble.substack.com/Support Sinobabble on Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Sinobabblepod
