NANNING, China, Sept. 9, 2025 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/–

A guest at the permanent exhibition honoring the Flying Tigers in the Liuzhou Military Museum in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. 

A permanent exhibition honoring the Flying Tigers — the American volunteer pilots who fought alongside Chinese forces against Japanese aggressors during World War II — opened on Sunday in Liuzhou, south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Housed in the Liuzhou Military Museum, the exhibition brings together more than 1,000 artifacts — from flight suits and arm patches to letters and diaries, many of which were donated by people in China and the United States.

Liuzhou was a key transportation hub and military stronghold in southern China during the war. In 1942, the Flying Tigers came to the city and was stationed in a local airport. From there, American pilots flew missions against Japanese invaders, leaving behind historical sites, images and stories of locals risking their lives to rescue downed airmen.

Describing the history as one “with remarkable friendship and mutual sacrifice at its heart,” Jeffrey Greene, chairman of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation, said at the opening ceremony that the peoples of China and the United States had developed a remarkable relationship during the darkest days of WWII.

“This history has become more than a bridge between two nations. It is a timeless testament to the power of solidarity,” Greene said.

Also at the ceremony, Yang Wanming, president of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, noted that more than 80 years ago, China and the United States chose to fight together for justice and peace.

“This history shows that people from different countries can overcome their differences and unite in the face of common challenges,” Yang said, adding that the younger generations from both countries will carry forward the spirit of the Flying Tigers.

The exhibition will be open to the public free of charge long term, featuring five themed sections presenting the stories of how the American pilots fought side-by-side with Chinese soldiers and civilians during the war.

The 25th China International Fair for Investment & Trade (CIFIT), themed “Join Hands with China, Invest in the Future,” will be held in Xiamen, Fujian, from September 8 to 11. 

This year’s CIFIT focuses on three major sectors — “Invest in China,” “Chinese Investment,” and “International Investment.” It will feature an exhibition area of about 120,000 m 2  and host over 70 specialized investment activities and more than 100 specialized roadshows.

The “Invest in China” section comprises various events. Nearly 100 executives from the headquarters and regional branches of multinational companies in the fields of energy, chemicals, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and intelligent manufacturing, as well as representatives from sovereign wealth funds and international investment institutions, have confirmed their attendance. Additionally, over 100 “hidden champion” enterprises from Europe and Asia will participate.

The “China Investment” section is divided into three areas: China Outbound Investment, Overseas Comprehensive Services, and Silk Road Maritime. These zones will showcase the cooperation achievements and signature projects of Chinese enterprises worldwide. The Ministry of Commerce will organize multiple chambers of commerce to release China’s Outbound Investment Activity Index for the first time. This year’s CIFIT will also host an economic and trade exchange conference between Chinese provinces and U.S. states.

To date, delegations from more than 110 countries, regions, and international organizations have registered to attend CIFIT, and 51 countries and regions will set up exhibition booths. As the guest of honor, the United Kingdom plans to send a delegation of nearly 200 representatives from governments, businesses, and associations.

As the only major national-level investment exhibition in China, CIFIT is committed to building three platforms: two-way investment promotion, authoritative information release, and investment trend discussion. Since its inception, it has facilitated the signing of more than 30,000 projects, emerging as one of the world’s most influential international investment events.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 (Bernama) — The Guizhou Provincial Government has announced that the Eco Forum Global Guiyang 2025 will be convened from July 5 to 6 in the provincial capital of Guiyang, following approval by the State Council of China.

Hosted by the People’s Government of Guizhou Province, the two-day event will carry the theme “Harmonious Coexistence between Humans and Nature – Discussing Global Development and Green Transformation” and is expected to draw approximately 800 delegates, according to a statement.

As China’s sole national and international forum focused on the theme of eco-civilisation, the Eco Forum Global Guiyang has steadily built its profile over the course of 12 previous editions, earning growing attention on the global stage.

Organisers aim to position this year’s iteration as a dynamic platform for dialogue, partnership, and actionable outcomes, particularly in the realm of sustainable development and ecological governance.

Preparations for the forum are reportedly progressing in an orderly fashion, with a rich programme of activities scheduled, including the opening ceremony, thematic forums, off-site visits, promotional displays, green investment promotion, and the debut of new environmental protection products and technologies.

Notably, this year marks a significant step forward in international collaboration. For the first time since 2018, international organisations will play a substantive role in shaping the forum’s agenda. Of the 20 planned thematic forums, 11 will feature participation by international entities, with four forums to be independently hosted by these organisations.

The forum also serves as an extension of China’s engagement with major multilateral climate processes. It is expected to respond to key themes arising from global environmental conferences such as COP16 and COP29, with a focus on practical cooperation in areas including climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation.

A core objective of the 2025 edition is to share China’s experience in eco-civilisation and green transformation, particularly with developing nations across the Global South, reinforcing cooperation in sustainable development. The forum also seeks to catalyse global efforts to address what it identifies as the three pressing environmental challenges.

Through this initiative, Guizhou is positioning itself as a hub for international green collaboration and innovation, seeking to “pool wisdom” and “attract investment”, empowering new quality productivity and high-quality development.

YAN’AN, China, April 7, 2025 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/–

The Yisi Year (2025) Qingming Festival Memorial Ceremony for the Yellow Emperor was held in Shaanxi.

On the morning of April 4, the Yisi Year (2025) Qingming Festival Memorial Ceremony for the Yellow Emperor was held at the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in Shaanxi Province. The mausoleum, located in Huangling County, Shaanxi Province, is the location of the tomb of Yellow Emperor, the common ancestor of the Chinese nation.

At 9:50 am, the memorial ceremony officially started. All the attendees were standing solemnly for the drum beats and bell rings. The 34 drumbeats symbolize the common aspiration of the whole Chinese nation, as well as all overseas Chinese to worship the ancestor of the Chinese nation. The 9 bell rings represent the highest etiquette of traditional rituals of the Chinese nation, expressing the infinite admiration and gratitude of sons and daughters of the Chinese nation to their ancestor, the Yellow Emperor.

Amidst the solemn and dignified strains of ritual music, Zhang Qingwei, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, and He Baoxiang, Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, presented floral tributes to the statue of Yellow Emperor  Xuanyuan. Following this, Zhao Yide , Secretary of the CPC Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Standing Committee of the Shaanxi Provincial People’s Congress, presented the flower basket on behalf of the representatives of Shaanxi province. Zhao Gang, the governor of Shaanxi Province, delivered the memorial address.

After the memorial music and dance performance, a 56-meter-long Chinese dragon hovered and leaped from the center of the altar, soaring to the sky. The dragon symbolized the profound reverence of the Chinese people for their cultural ancestor and carried the collective aspiration for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation into the clouds.

Subsequently, attendees proceeded in orderly groups to pay homage at Xuanyuan Hall before visiting the Huangdi Mausoleum for tree-planting ceremonies.

The memorial ceremony was jointly organized by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese and Shaanxi Provincial People’s Government.
