Beijing says it plans for its international lunar base to be built jointly by other countries as a collaborative effort.

The National Financial Work Conference, usually held twice a decade, is expected to further fortify leader Xi Jinping’s control of the country’s $61 trillion financial sector. “Overall, the financial sector in China has made progress but at this moment they face challenges,” said Nakao. Last week, Xi reportedly visited the central bank, or People’s Bank of China, a rare step that underscores the party’s consolidation of controls over markets and financial institutions. Country Garden, another major developer, failed last week to meet a deadline to pay interest on a dollar bond. It has adopted measures to support private industries, which provide the lion's share of jobs in China.

The iPhone 15 will be a tough sell in China. And China's homegrown rival Huawei has a new, superfast phone out, the Mate 60. China is Apple's second-biggest single market by sales outside the US, and its third-biggest region behind the US and Europe. Another important metric: China grew faster by revenue than Europe, implying continued prospects for growth for Apple beyond saturated Western markets. The advanced chip inside the new Mate 60 was made by Chinese company SMIC, according to a teardown by Bloomberg.

CNN —A Chinese-Australian writer who has been detained in China for more than four years said he fears he could die in jail, after a large cyst was found on his kidney. Yang Hengjun, an Australian citizen and democracy activist, was detained in 2019 during a visit to see family in China and charged with espionage – accusations Yang has denied. “Yang Hengjun has been subjected to arbitrary detention in China by Chinese secret police for more than four years and his life is in danger,” he said. Yang is one of two Australians currently detained in China. Cheng Lei, an Australian TV anchor who worked for China’s state broadcaster CGTN, is accused of illegally supplying state secret overseas and has been detained for three years.

Xie Feng, the Chinese ambassador to the US, said Washington isn't playing fair in its tech race with China. Restrictions on China are like forcing it to wear outdated swimwear while the US wears Speedos, he said. The tech war between the world's two largest economies has been intensifying. On Wednesday, Xie Feng, the Chinese ambassador to the US, found the most unexpected analogy to the US-China tech competition by comparing American restrictions on China to different types of swimwear. It also wants to slap further export restrictions on AI chips to China, the Wall Street Journal reported on June 27.

We suggest such valuation presents upside from consensus," said Yang, referring to Bloomberg's valuation of Ant Group at just $22 billion to $57 billion. "In our view, [Bloomberg's] valuation range is too low, as Ant Group is comparable to PayPal.

This is lower than Ant's $315 billion valuation when it tried to list in 2020.

At a trade summit, Putin said 80% of the Russia-China trade is now transacted in the yuan and the ruble. The Russian currency was used in 40% of all export transactions with SCO countries, Putin added. Founded in 2001, SCO member countries include China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Iran. The tough restrictions against Russia spooked other countries so much that they are now lining up backup currencies for trade. Sanctioned countries like Russia and emerging nations like Argentina have recently started using the yuan for trade, primarily with China.

Visa spatOn Sunday, Xinhua published a first-person account from Hu Xiaoming, the state agency’s New Delhi bureau chief since 2017, describing the “torment” of Chinese reporters’ “visa hassle” in India. A spokesperson for India’s Ministry of External Affairs on Friday declined to comment on the number of Chinese journalists in the country when asked in a regular briefing. “All foreign journalists, including Chinese journalists, have been pursuing journalist activities in India, without any limitations or difficulties in reporting,” spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said. Bagchi did not confirm that any Indian reporters had lost accreditation in China, but said such reporters had faced difficulties doing their jobs there. Because Chinese reporters are working for state media outlets, New Delhi is also likely looking at them as “state actors,” according to Kewalramani.

Hong Kong CNN —Friends and family of Australian television anchor Cheng Lei on Monday renewed calls for her release from detention in China, 1,000 days after she was held by authorities on espionage charges. Australian authorities have expressed concern about her detention amid suggestions from analysts that strained ties between Canberra and Beijing may have provided impetus for the opaque case against her. While there were still some Australian journalists working in China, all are employed by non-Australian media companies. Cheng’s two children are being cared for by their grandmother in Melbourne, Australian public broadcaster ABC reported at the time of her original detention. “For a mother not to see her children for 1000 days is excruciating.

China has previously said Australia should respect China's judicial sovereignty, adding that her legal rights were being upheld. Foreign Minister Penny Wong said Cheng had shown "great resilience and courage", and the Australian government was concerned by the delay. Born in China, Cheng moved with her scientist parents to Australia as a 10-year-old. "No light has been shed on the allegations" against Cheng after three years, said former trade minister Simon Birmingham, whom she interviewed on his visits to China.
According to a statement from police in the northwest province of Gansu, the suspect allegedly used ChatGPT to generate a bogus report about a train crash, which he then posted online for profit. ChatGPT, developed by Microsoft (MSFT)-backed OpenAI, is banned in China, though internet users can use virtual private networks (VPN) to access it. State broadcaster CGTN says it was the country’s first arrest of a person accused of using ChatGPT to fabricate and spread fake news. Formally known as deep synthesis, deep fake refers to highly realistic textual and visual content generated by artificial intelligence. The new legislation bars users from generating deep fake content on topics already prohibited by existing laws on China’s heavily censored internet.

China coal mine death toll at six, 47 missing as rescue resumes

CGTN/Handout via REUTERSFeb 24 (Reuters) - The death toll from a coal mine collapse in northern China rose to six with at least 47 people missing as rescue efforts resumed after a landslide had halted the search for survivors, state media said on Friday. Six people had been pulled alive from the mine in Inner Mongolia by 10:30 p.m. (1430 GMT) on Thursday, state media reported. Three hundred rescue workers were using heavy machinery and rescue dogs in their search for the miners, state media said. The mine, once underground, was converted to an open-pit operation in 2012, according to state media. It had suspended production for three years before restarting in April 2021, state media said, without specifying the cause of the closure.
He first introduced the term "whole-process democracy" to China in a 2019 speech. However, by November that year, "whole-process democracy" was mentioned in 128 People's Daily articles, per CMP. "China's whole-process people's democracy integrates process-oriented democracy with results-oriented democracy, procedural democracy with substantive democracy, direct democracy with indirect democracy and people's democracy with the will of the state," says China's white paper on the subject, per CGTN. Semantics aside, a key point to note is that "whole-process democracy" plays down the need for elections. Even so, Chong said, whole-process democracy might still help the CCP give the impression that it cares about the average citizen.
Conducerea Parcului Safari Hangzhou a anunțat „evadarea” abia la o săptămână, după ce oamenii văzuseră animalele. Acum, autoritățile încearcă să localizeze și să prindă și a treia felină. Într-un mesaj transmis sâmbătă, grădina zoologică a transmis că "regretă sincer" că nu a alertat oamenii mai devreme. Potrivit mesajului, conducerea a considerată că riscurile erau mici, pentru că leoparzii nu erau animale adulte, dar recunoaște că a fost o greșeală și că "acceptă criticile publicului". Parcul safari Hangzhou a fost închis după declanșarea unei anchete, iar administratorul a fost reținut de poliție.

Соглашение между Лондоном и ЕС эксперты оценивают и как вестник долгожданного экономического подъема Великобритании, и как опрометчивый шаг в обстановке неопределенности, царящей в мире. Политики, эксперты и СМИ ненадолго отвлеклись от Рождества и пандемии, чтобы поприветствовать окончание долгого и мучительного процесса развода Великобритании и ЕС. Англоязычное китайское издание «Синьхуа» пишет, что хотя сделка «определенно поможет избежать провала Brexit, рождественским подарком она не стала». Представитель Госдепартамента США заявил, что его страна намерена вести переговоры о всеобъемлющем соглашении о свободной торговле с Великобританией. «Мы поддерживаем суверенное решение Великобритании выйти из ЕС, и надеемся на продолжение прочных отношений, как с Великобританией, так и с ЕС», - сказал представитель Госдепа.
