Exclusive: China to respond with strong policy toolbox if EU presses ahead with European equivalent of Section 301: observer
China has sufficient tools to respond if the EU continues to expand unilateral trade restrictions. The EU should carefully consider the costs of further escalating trade frictions,
What China-EU economic and trade relations need now is to manage differences rather than create new ones,
China and the EU have developed deeply integrated industrial and supply chains over the years. These ties are not simply a matter of one side depending on the other, but the result of long-term market choices and the international division of labor,
The EU itself has been a target of US Section 301 probes and related unilateral trade measures, and has repeatedly criticized unilateralism and protectionism. Yet it is now considering similar tools to exert pressure on other trading partners. Such a policy shift warrants concern,

China on Tuesday unveiled a new program aimed at achieving breakthroughs at the frontiers of science and producing major original research achievements in key fields, while also outlining a broader slate of major research missions for the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30)
China is rapidly shifting from a participant and contributor in global science and technology to a pioneer and leader, becoming one of the world's fastest-rising innovation powers,
Breakthroughs in major emerging fields could translate into new sources of productivity and economic growth,
The shift suggests China's innovation system is moving from strength in scale and application toward a greater emphasis on source innovation and breakthroughs in fields such as AI, quantum technology and life sciences,
When research is truly unprecedented, the probability of failure is inevitably higher,
China Coast Guard patrols waters east of Taiwan island; move signals warning to separatist forces, expert says
The 'Taiwan independence' separatist forces' actions of aligning with Japan and the Philippines on South China Sea issues will not only be rejected by compatriots on both sides of the Straits and Chinese people worldwide, but will also prompt strong countermeasures from the mainland,

The approach by CCG vessels is clearly directed at recent collusion between 'Taiwan independence' forces and the Philippines,
China’s robot store boom brings robots closer to consumers as industry accelerates commercialization: experts
The more applications there are, the more real-world feedback companies can obtain, and the faster products can improve. Greater scale then helps bring costs down, allowing robots to enter even more scenarios,
Consumers will not pay simply for novelty. Robots ultimately have to be affordable to ordinary consumers,
For Chinese robots to enter homes, it is not simply a matter of overcoming one remaining technological hurdle. What is needed is a systematic leap from being usable to being genuinely easy to use,
We hope to turn robots from a science fiction concept into products that consumers can experience, own and integrate into their daily lives,
The significance of offline stores goes beyond adding another sales channel. More importantly, they allow robots to interact directly with consumers, with real world experience and feedback helping drive further product improvements,
China defends UN ‘enemy state clauses’ amid Japan’s re-militarization push
The enemy state clauses in the UN Charter are a vital institutional arrangement aimed at preventing fascism and militarism from threatening international peace and security ever again. They provide important institutional safeguards for defending the post-war international order and remain extremely relevant today,
Japan faces a grave choice: will it continue to ignore historical lessons and allow the remnants of militarism to resurface, or will it face up to its history of aggression, honor its peace pledges, and earn the trust of the international community through sincere reflection? Will it continue to confound right and wrong, distort facts and challenge the post-war international order, or deliver on its peace commitments with concrete actions?"
This fully illustrates the practical necessity of restraining Japan via the 'enemy state clauses' of the UN Charter,
All these facts are proof that Japan's re-militarization has become a real threat to regional and global peace and stability,
