China, as the second-largest contributor to the United Nations' regular budget, accounts for about 20 percent of total assessed contributions, trailing only the United States. 中國是聯合國常規預算的第二大繳款國，承擔的經常預算分攤比例約占總額的20%，僅次於美國。 However, unlike the US, China has consistently paid its regular dues in full and on time, and with its recent payment it has paid its full annual dues of $641 million, earning public acknowledgment and praise from the UN. 然而，與美國不同的是，中國始終按時足額繳納聯合國會費。隨著近期完成最新一筆繳款，中國已支付全年全部會費，共計6.41億美元，並獲得聯合國方面公開認可和讚揚。 Saying the funds “come in handy”, a spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday thanked China for its latest payment. Speaking at a news briefing, Stephane Dujarric said that “having the full amount is extremely helpful to the ongoing liquidity crisis” the UN faces. He added that China's payment brought the number of fully paid-up...
Zheng Qinwen pulled off an epic upset, winning the last seven games to stun Madison Keys and keep her unlikely US Open challenge going on Saturday. 中國網球選手鄭欽文上週六上演了一場史詩級逆轉。在比賽最后連贏7局的情況下，她爆冷擊敗麥迪遜·凱斯（Madison Keys），繼續書寫自己在美網賽場上的黑馬征程。 The Paris Olympics gold medalist from China triumphed 1-6, 7-6 (7/3), 7-5, defying the vocal pro-Keys crowd and further demonstrating that she is headed back to her best after a lengthy recovery from elbow surgery last year. 這位巴黎奧運會女單金牌得主以1-6、7-6（7/3）、7-5 的比分戰勝對手，頂住了現場支持凱斯的熱烈觀眾聲勢，也進一步證明自己在經歷去年肘部手術后的長期恢復后，正逐漸找回最佳狀態。 It has all made for an emotional spell in New York for the 23-year-old, who felt she "forgot how to compete" during her enforced absence but can now feel her competitive fire burning. 對於這位23歲的中國球員來說，這段紐約之旅充滿了情感波動。鄭欽文此前曾表示，在被迫缺席比賽期間，她一度感覺自己“忘記了如何...
Russian President Vladimir Putin had substantive, constructive and extremely frank talks with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in a trusting atmosphere in Moscow, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said early Sunday morning. 俄羅斯總統普京與美國特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和賈里德·庫什納近日在莫斯科舉行會談。克里姆林宮助理尤里·烏沙科夫週日淩晨表示，此次會談在相互信任的氛圍中進行，雙方進行了“實質性、建設性且極其坦誠”的交流。 Ushakov said the discussion on extremely serious issues took place in a working-format setting and informally over dinner. 烏沙科夫稱，雙方圍繞一系列“極其嚴肅的問題”展開討論，會談以工作會晤形式進行，並在非正式晚宴期間繼續交流。 Putin reaffirmed Russia's readiness to continue joint work with the United States in search of political and diplomatic solutions to the Ukrainian issues. 普京重申，俄羅斯願繼續與美國開展合作，尋求通過政治和外交途徑解決烏克蘭相關問題。 Ushakov said that the Russian side provided clear and comprehensive assessments of the situation unfolding ...
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, now in its fifth year, has only intensified over time, fueled by the continuous military support from different parties, particularly NATO. The West has also implemented multiple rounds of sanctions against Russia, aiming to force its capitulation. However, these sanctions have not achieved their intended effect. Instead, the conflict persists. 俄烏衝突如今已進入第五個年頭，隨著各方持續提供軍事支持，尤其是北約方面的支持，衝突局勢不僅没有緩和，反而不斷升級。與此同時，西方還對俄羅斯實施了多輪制裁，試圖迫使俄方屈服。然而，這些制裁並未達到預期效果，衝突仍在持續。 As Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico rightly pointed out in a video address on Facebook on Saturday, the United States and its allies "naively believed that through Ukraine — and its full political, military and financial support — they could bring hated Russia to its knees". Fico's observation echoes the reality that instead of ending the crisis, the help extended to Ukraine has prolo...
A decade after President Xi Jinping and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi toured Luxor, a city widely known as one of the world's largest open-air museums, the two leaders again stepped into the world of ancient Egypt — this time at the Grand Egyptian Museum on the Giza Plateau. On Wednesday, during Xi's state visit to Egypt, the two presidents and their wives visited the museum, viewing treasures including the throne, golden mask and royal chariots of Tutankhamun. Surrounded by artifacts tracing thousands of years of Egyptian civilization, Xi called the museum "a book with endless pages". During the tour, Xi noted that China and Egypt are both ancient civilizations and countries rich in World Heritage sites. He called on the two sides to uphold a vision of civilization based on equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness, implement the Global Civilization Initiative, and promote inclusive coexistence and mutual learning among different civilizations. ...

Summer vacation is entering its final stretch, and a familiar tension is rising in households across China. Children are staying up late, glued to screens, and reacting with groans or mysterious stomachaches at the mere mention of “school.” This isn‘t defiance or laziness—it’s a real physiological and psychological adjustment reaction, often called “Back-to-school syndrome.” In this episode of CD Voice, we draw on insights from child psychiatrists and developmental experts to understand the brain science behind the resistance—the tug-of-war between the fast-reacting amygdala and the still-developing prefrontal cortex. We also offer five practical, science-backed strategies for a smoother transition: gradual sleep adjustment, screen-free evenings, regular meals and outdoor activity, empathetic listening, and small rituals that restore a sense of control. Ultimately, the most important thing a parent can offer isn’t a perfect plan—it‘s calm, steady presence. This isn’t...

Speaking at a news briefing in Cairo upon the conclusion of the trip, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that with solidarity and cooperation as its central theme, the trip was significant for building consensus on cooperation and for reforming and improving global governance. In Bishkek, Xi attended the 26th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO as the organization marked its 25th anniversary this year. At the summit, Xi announce...
A fresh wave of price hikes has hit China's smartphone market, as Huawei, Xiaomi and Honor increased retail prices for several current models by between 200 ($29.75) and 1,000 yuan, triggering heated chatter on social media. 新一輪漲價潮席卷中國智能手機市場，華為、小米和榮耀將多款在售機型的零售價格上調了200元（約合29.75美元）至1000元不等，引發社交媒體熱議。 The coordinated adjustments come amid tightened memory chip supply and sustained price increases for key semiconductors. 這輪集體調價正值存儲芯片供應趨緊、關鍵半導體價格持續上漲之際。 Huawei led the increases, with its Mate 80 series jumping by as much as 1,000 yuan on Tuesday, while the 90 Pro Max sold for an extra 200 yuan.
