In the collection of the Palace Museum, a Song Dynasty (960-1279) flower-and-bird painting…

A driverless robotaxi glides through the streets of Guangzhou, Guangdong province, slowing to pick up a passenger before merging back into traffic. Roughly 70 kilometers away in Dongguan, robotic arms work in harmony on an assembly line, while in Shenzhen, an engineer uploads a circuit design to an online platform, and within hours the first prototype is already entering production. Though these technologies appear to belong to different industries, they share one thing in common: many are being developed by private enterprises from Guangdong, China’s largest provincial economy and one…
A shaky chestcam video, a mist-shrouded iron ladder and one trembling question — “Is this the way to heaven?” — have propelled the 168-meter “sky ladder”, part of a via ferrata, or protected climbing route, in Zhangjiajie, Hunan province, into the global spotlight. Posted on social media platform RedNote in March, the first-person clip captures a climber inching up metal rungs that vanish into clouds. The ladder sways with the movement of people above and below. “I’m almost there,” she whispers, sounding both frightened and unbowed. The video was an…

King Charles III and Queen Camilla began a four-day state visit to the US starting on Monday. Many analysts believe the King’s visit carries a “special mission” to mend ties and bridge growing rifts. As their strategic trajectories diverge, the friction within the UK-US alliance is becoming increasingly visible. Currently, the “special relationship” between the two countries is clouded by an intense sense of mutual distrust. This uncertainty has been further exacerbated by signals from Washington regarding the Falkland Islands (known as the Malvinas in Argentina). Reports suggest the Pentagon…
