From DNA sequencing to biodiversity monitoring, and from artificial reproduction to species conservation, science and technology has contributed a major part to China’s biodiversity protection in recent years.
China is a country with some of the richest biological resources in the world. It is also one of the first countries that have approved the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Noting that China’s researchers have valuable experiences that the world needs to hear about, British scientific journal Nature pointed out that as China prepares to take on a crucial role in the governance of global biodiversity, its…

COVID-19 is still ravaging the world. Almost four million cases were reported to the WHO last week, and on current trends, the total number of cases is expected to pass 200 million within the next two weeks. Facing the severe situation, the international society must enhance solidarity and cooperation so as to prevent the virus from further spreading.
At this critical moment, US politicians started playing the “solidarity” card, saying “solidarity” is of vital importance for the international society. However, it’s obvious that the America-proposed “solidarity” is indeed a kind of divide, and a deceitful…

The US is wantonly pursuing a wrong path on the origin tracing of COVID-19, even if it knows clearly that China will never accept its manipulation or the so-called second phase of studies into the origins of COVID-19 that targets only China.
In order to discredit China, the US has not only resorted to conspiracy theories, but also claimed to work with allies and partners to pressure Beijing.
Given the current resurgences of the COVID-19 epidemic around the world, especially the unprecedented comeback of the virus in the US, what Washington has done is obviously…
On July 30, the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region announced that Leon Tong Ying-kit had been sentenced to nine years in prison for inciting others to split the country and terrorist activities. This judgment strongly demonstrates the rule of law and justice, establishes legal authority that cannot be challenged, and once again warns the small group of people, who are vainly trying to “disrupt and damage Hong Kong society”, that China’s strong will to safeguard national sovereignty, security and developing interests cannot be shaken. …

Recently, Washington has been frequently showing its “care” and “support” for the WHO, which made a sharp contrast to its habitual indifference to the organization, as well as its past practices of defunding and withdrawing from the organization.
Is the US really righting its wrongs and sincerely starting to support the work of the WHO?
Not really. What Washington supports is merely the WHO’s plan for the second phase of the global study into the origins of COVID-19 which lacks objectivity and a spirit of cooperation. …

Tumanbay Yoldash, a 41-year-old owner of an auto repair shop in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, was changing tires for a freight truck while humming a tune to himself on the afternoon of a sunny day. The service was provided for the fourth client he received that day.

As another attempt of the U.S. to politicize the COVID-19 origin tracing, representatives from the U.S. misrepresented China’s rejection of the plan for the second phase of studies into the origins of COVID-19 put forward unilaterally by the WHO Secretariat as willful damage to virus tracing at an informal meeting of the UN General Assembly on pandemic preparedness and response on July 28, which met strong refutation from Chinese representatives.
By exhausting all the possibilities it can to smear China on the virus tracing issue, the U.S. has shown the world how crazy it can be to…

A joint statement was issued Tuesday, July 27, in the name of so-called science officials from the US and its allies, in support of the second phase of the WHO-led COVID-19 origin study.
It says if China rejects the second phase of the study, then the country is not taking its responsibility to help the world learn a lesson from the crisis, and destroying the recognized norms long held by the science community.
As a matter of fact, this statement, which shows no respect to facts at all, shall be thoroughly studied by the US…

“Thanks to the bus, I can sleep half an hour longer before going to work,” said a resident surnamed Xing in Yuelu…
