HEFEI — Researchers have identified a method to surpass the plasma density limit in experiments with the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as the “artificial sun,” providing a crucial physical basis for high-density operation in magnetic confinement fusion devices. This research was conducted collaboratively by the institute of plasma physics at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Aix-Marseille University in France, among other institutions. The findings were published in the journal Science Advances on Friday. A…

In 2025, the world is accelerating its evolution amid intertwined changes and turbulences. The interconnectedness of China’s development and the global landscape is continually strengthening, and China’s influence on global growth, technological transformation, and global governance is becoming increasingly profound and positive. The latest 2025 Global Survey on Impression and Understanding of China reveals that nearly 90 percent of respondents have expressed confidence in China’s continued economic growth over the next 10 years. Global public opinion shows strong interest in Chinese culture and tech, with expectations for China to participate…
Looking back at a year of rapidly changing international dynamics, the interactions between China and the US in the economic and trade sphere have consistently drawn global attention. From “conflict” to “dialogue,” and from a seemingly insurmountable impasse to a return to an equal dialogue and negotiation track, the fluctuations in US-China economic and trade relations offer rich insights into how these two major economies can effectively manage their relationship and accurately grasp the trends of the times. International relations have never been smooth sailing. It requires wisdom and responsibility…
China launched a Long March-8A carrier rocket on Friday in the southern island province of Hainan, sending a group of internet satellites into space. The rocket lifted off at 7:26 a.m. (Beijing Time) from the Hainan commercial spacecraft launch site. It successfully placed the payloads, the 17th group of low-orbit internet satellites, into preset orbit.
In a groundbreaking moment for wildlife conservation, camera traps in the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park (NCTLNP) captured the China’s first footage of a wild Siberian tigress with five cubs in November, the Global Times learned from the World Wide Fund of Nature (WWF) on Friday. Wild Siberian tigers typically give birth to one to four cubs, making five cubs an exceptionally rare occurrence even in regions with abundant prey. Experts note that five cubs surviving to this age in a landscape where prey availability is still recovering…
The recently concluded 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games are expected to accelerate improvements in accessibility infrastructure and assistive technology across the region, benefiting people with disabilities, officials said. The games, co-hosted by Guangdong province and the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, ended with a closing ceremony at Shenzhen Sports Center on Monday night after eight days of competition. The ceremony, simple yet evocative, highlighted the spirit of inclusion between people with and without disabilities. According to the organizing committee,…
In just under two weeks, the animated blockbuster Zootopia 2 has swept across Chinese cinemas with a speed and appetite worthy of its famously bustling fictional metropolis, drawing crowds, driving merchandise frenzies, and reaffirming the enduring emotional bond between Disney’s beloved animal universe and audiences in China. As the film continues climbing the charts with remarkable momentum, its return signals more than just a sequel — it is the revival of a cultural phenomenon once again shaping conversations, consumer trends, and imaginative storytelling nationwide. The total box-office revenue of the…
Visitors view auroras on an interactive LED radar screen in an aurora-themed museum in Mohe, Heilongjiang province. CHINA DAILY Residents and tourists couldn’t help but admire the stunning aurora borealis in Mohe, Heilongjiang province, China’s northernmost city on the evening of Nov 24. The auroras, mainly colored pink and purple, ripple alternately across the night sky at high latitudes, attracting visitors and photographers along the banks of the frozen Heilongjiang River to capture the moment with their cameras. However, when they entered the country’s first aurora-themed museum in Mohe’s Beiji…
Recent studies have found the existence of vast, hitherto unknown reservoirs of primordial water thousands of kilometers below the Earth’s surface, which could offer clues to understanding the process of the planet’s evolution. While simulating the extreme high-temperature and high-pressure conditions that exist 660 kilometers underground, researchers discovered that the main mineral of the Earth’s mantle — bridgmanite — possessed significant water-retention capacity even at temperatures of up to 4,100 C. The Earth’s mantle is the thick, semi-solid layer of hot, dense rock that lies between the crust and the…
United States President Donald Trump’s decision to conditionally approve exports of Nvidia’s advanced H200 artificial-intelligence semiconductors to China has drawn wide attention. But while the move reflects the eased bilateral trade tensions, two realities remain unchanged: China is an indispensable market for global AI-chipmakers, and Washington’s high-tech export controls on China remain firmly in place. China is one of the world’s largest and most competitive AI markets. For Nvidia — whose revenues were unavoidably hit this year after sales of its H20 chips to China were restricted by the US…
