Trust drives Sino-Kyrgyz cooperation, envoy says
For Kyrgyzstan, it is particularly important that the development of artificial intelligence should not create a new technological divide between countries,
I see this combination of security and development as one of the SCO's greatest strengths,
This is not simply a transport project,
Kyrgyz-Chinese relations are currently at a very high level and are characterized by sustained political dialogue, mutual trust and dynamic development across virtually all areas,
More Kyrgyz youths opt for Mandarin tests
Economic and trade needs have created a broad market, policy support has built a solid bridge, and the desire to study in China and cultural identification have injected endless vitality,
At first, I learned Chinese because it was necessary for my studies and daily life,
The Chinese characters are very interesting, each with its own meaning and history. I also like the tones because they make the language different from many others,
Almost everything can be done online — shopping, ordering food and paying bills, by using digital payment systems. It makes daily life very convenient and efficient,
Chinese people have always been friendly and helpful to me. Even when my Chinese was not very good, many people were patient and encouraged me,
Glacier collapse underscores need for regional monitoring
Experts probe how climate warming may amplify Himalayan geological risks
It's really hard to attribute the exact trigger for this particular glacial collapse,
After the disaster, we immediately contacted experts in Nepal, but they also lacked data from relevant weather stations to confirm the conditions at the site,
Detecting such failures before they occur is extremely difficult,
Against this long-term tectonic backdrop, climate warming is acting as an important 'amplifier',
We also lack mature models capable of reliably predicting the complete chain from glacier or rock collapse to debris flow, mudslide and downstream flooding,

Window into appraiser-painter's creative world opens in Beijing — Chinadaily.com.cn
Yin, now 81, is both a leading connoisseur of ancient Chinese painting and an accomplished literati artist whose works are known for their refined, classical elegance
He has a deep, lived understanding of the landscape. Long-term observation and meditation on these views slowly crystallized into his own personal painting language, fusing external nature with the inner heart,
Connoisseurship sharpens one's judgment of beauty, and that accumulated learning eventually sinks into the painting itself,
He knows very well about the lives of ancient painters. Yet, in his daily life, he is quite absent-minded, often getting lost on his way out. His mind is always absorbed in painting and scholarship."
For Yin, Taihu Lake is not just the scenery of his hometown. It is the spiritual home where he settles his mind and lodges his feelings,
Ancient painting appraisal is an enormously complex discipline requiring an immense accumulation of knowledge. Yin is very well-read and knows the lives, habits and experiences of artists through the ages in remarkable detail. He has devoted his entire life to studying ancient art, and he is a rare traditional literatus in our time,

We seek no grand ode to heroism — only a miracle that endures. May it come, and may our fellow officers return safely."

'Sorry' De Zerbi won't panic as Spurs shambles continues
It was another chastening result for De Zerbi, whose expensively assembled team suffered an embarrassing 3-0 defeat at Brentford in the opening game of the season a week earlier
There is no panic. I know where we are going and what the plan is. I'm sorry to the fans for the result,

We created many chances to score, we have to improve our decision-making, because that will make a difference,
Disappointed for the result because, until the first goal we conceded, I think we played better than Newcastle,
Maheshate makes winning return, as Meng books RTU final berth
I don't know how far I can go on my return. I just love this sport, and my priority will be working as hard as I can in training on a daily basis and only focusing on the next fight,
I think I am a way more mature MMA athlete now than I was during my first stint with the UFC,
I was too young when I first signed up with the UFC, and didn't make wise enough decisions (in picking opponents).... I fight with more poise now, and I don't get panicked or feel too much pressure when facing tough situations during fights,
This victory means everything to me,
