CHINESE President Xi Jinping’s trip from September 11 to 12 to the far easten Russian city Vladivostok was of far-reaching significance as it cemented mutual trust and friendship and promoted win-win regional cooperation, said Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi.

During his tightly scheduled 30-hour stay in Vladivostok, the Chinese president attended the fourth Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and met with leaders of other countries in the region, among other activities.

The visit has infused new dynamism into China-Russia ties, opened new prospects for regional cooperation, and brought new vitality to international relations, Wang said.

Strengthening Top-Level Contact

The strategic consulation and close contact between the heads of state of China and Russia serve as powerful engines for the development of bilateral relations, Wang said.

Noting that this was Xi’s seventh visit to Russia as president and first attendance at the EEF, Wang said the trip carried on the tradition that China and Russia support each other in holding major events.

Xi and Putin had their third meeting in four months, charting the future course of the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination and exchanging views on major international and regional issues, Wang said.

That has highlighted the depth and uniqueness of the countries’ relationship, he added.

The two sides agreed to tighten strategic coordination, firmly support each other, and safeguard their own interests as well as the common interests of the international community, he said.

The close relationship between China and Russia, Wang said, is playing an increasingly important role in maintaining strategic stability in the world, and has set a good example for major-country relations and neighborhood interaction.

Cementing China-Russia Friendship

The two leaders met representatives of Chinese and Russian youngsters, who forged a deep friendship 10 years ago when more than 900 Chinese children from the affected areas in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in southwestern China went to All-Russian Children’s Center “Ocean” in Vladivostok to recuperate.

Xi thanked the Russian staff at the center for helping Chinese children recuperate, and encouraged the young people of the two countries to serve as the pillars of their countries and envoys of bilateral friendship and carry forward China-Russia friendship from generation to generation.

Xi invited the teachers and students of the “Ocean” center to visit China to write a new chapter in bilateral friendship.

Xi also called for joint efforts to push forward local-level exchanges between the two countries and deepen the understanding of each other’s culture and traditions.

Tapping Sub-National Cooperation Potential

As each other’s largest neighbor, China and Russia have strong internal impetus for cooperation in various fields, Wang said.

During Xi’s visit, Xi and Putin charted the course for bilateral pragmatic cooperation in the next phase – strengthening the synergy of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union, expanding cooperation in such fields as energy, agriculture, scientific and technological innovation, and finance, promoting the steady implementation of major projects, and boosting joint research and development of cutting-edge science and technology.

The two leaders also made concrete efforts to promote bilateral sub-national cooperation. They attended a roundtable meeting on regional cooperation and visited “The Far East Street” exhibition showcasing the rich cultural exchanges between the two countries and investment opportunities in Russia’s Far East regions.

Both countries should take advantage of the Year of China-Russia Local Cooperation and Exchange program to strengthen planning and coordination, innovate thoughts on cooperation, and tap into their complimentary advantages, so as to usher in a new era of bilateral sub-national cooperation, Xi stressed.

Leading Regional Cooperation

The EEF offers an important platform for international cooperation in the Russian Far East and a significant opportunity for Northeast Asian nations to pool wisdom and pursue cooperation, Wang said.

Xi proposed that countries in Northeast Asia should build up mutual trust to safeguard regional peace and tranquility, deepen cooperation to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes, learn from each other to consolidate their traditional friendship, and take a long-term perspective to realize integrated and coordinated development.

As a key member in Northeast Asia, China has presented a responsible and constructive image of a major country to the rest of the world by consistently participating in regional cooperation, promoting communication and dialogue among nations in the region, and creating a harmonious and friendly environment, Wang said.

Xi’s Vladivostok trip is pragmatic and efficient, and conducive to promoting benign interactions between major countries, he said, adding that it was also an important move in the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

They can choose hairstyles at their will; the possibilities for apparel are limitless; and interest in trending products are surging. Chinese women have become quite fashion conscious.

From the changes in women’s clothes and ornaments, we can appreciate an open China.

In the past 40 years, the personal destiny of women and the progressive development of China’s women’s causes have been synchronized with the glorious era of the reform and opening-up.

China has a female population of 660 million. Since the founding of the PRC, China has made tremendous progress in safeguarding women’s rights, and has accumulated rich experience in promoting equal and harmonious development of both sexes and safeguarding women’s rights and interests. President Xi Jinping’s speech at the Global Summit of Women systematically expounded the position and viewpoint of the Chinese women’s causes. He pointed out that in the process of the Chinese people’s pursuit of a better life, every woman has the opportunity to live a brilliant life and make dreams come true.

It is a place where the line between life and death becomes blurred. 

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the discipline of critical care medicine. In the past decade, intensive care medicine has developed rapidly. The number of ICUs and practitioners nationwide has been increasing, and related expertise and skills have become more popularized. However, this discipline is also facing some social misunderstandings.

No one is willing to give up their loved ones, and no doctor is willing to give up the patient, but the ICU is not a panacea. Liu Dawei of Peking Union Medical College Hospital said frankly that medicine is often powerless. At that point, good communication with the patient’s family is of great importance.

With the extension of people’s life expectancy, the overall number of critically ill patients will increase, and the patient’s condition will become more complex.

Critical care medicine is the last line of defense to save fragile lives. Relieving the suffering of patients is also one of the important tasks of medicine. Critical care medicine will try to alleviate the suffering of the patient, but only if it is possible to let the patient survive. The complications of life in death in the ICU are matters that the entire society needs to develop an informed understanding of. It is hoped that relevant policies and laws will make this aspect more perfect. 2003-2018: 15 Years of Taobao Economic Weekly Issue No. 16, 2018The Taobao Maker Festival is one of the most-watched events Alibaba holds each year, highlighting the ingenuity and originality of young Chinese inventors, designers, and product makers.

On the way to exploring new vistas, the 15-year-old Taobao seems to have never lost enthusiasm:

In the nascent stage of e-commerce, Taobao first realized that online shopping is not simply the doing of offline transactions online, but a thorough paradigm shift, which requires innovative measures. Half a year after Taobao was launched, Alipay was born, and creatively solved the trust problem in online shopping with the implementation of secure transactions, and laid down the fundamentals of the next evolution of e-commerce in one fell swoop.

Providing the first experience of online shopping for most Chinese netizens, Taobao used to be a trading platform. Today, on the commercial relationship between buyers and sellers, a community atmosphere is added. At the end of 2010, a greeting card from a Taobao shop owner caused a sensation, and netizens followed suit. The “intimate” network style was born. Nowadays, “honey” has become a greeting for many Chinese people to say hello. It reflects the blending of Taobao’s youth culture and traditional culture.
