Directed by the first Chinese female director at Pixar Animation Studios, Domee Shi, the animated short Bao won the 91st Academy Award (Oscars) for Best Animated Short, bringing a distinctive Chinese story to the world stage.The short explores the life of a Chinese immigrant mother living in Toronto, Canada, with her inattentive husband, and who is struggling to cope with loneliness after her beloved son flies the nest. Remarkably, the moms deep, empty-nester angst turns to joy when a cute, leftover dumpling, or bao in Chinese, comes to life in true Pinocchio fashion, Xinhua reported.Besides “Bao,” this year’s Oscars saw more Chinese elements, including the first-ever Chinese animated short “One Small Step,” which was nominated for the Oscars.

Reports stated that U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cautioned allies on Monday against deploying equipment from Chinese telecoms giant Huawei on their soil, saying it would make it more difficult for Washington to 'partner alongside them.''For a period of time, the U.S. side has worked tirelessly to fabricate various unwarranted reasons and 'China threat' rhetoric, even flagrantly threatened and driven a wedge between China and other countries, as well as slandered and suppressed the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises in pursuing development and cooperation,' said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying at a press briefing.The Chinese side hopes all parties abandon ideological bias as well as cold-war and zero-sum mentality, to create a fair, inclusive, transparent and standardized environment for normal international friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation, said Hua.Refuting U.S. moves' lack of due demeanor for being a major power, Hua said Chin...

Terraced slopes that were once barren are now filled with cedars and pine trees.The landscape has changed a lot since Huang's grandfather, the first ranger in his family, took the job in 1951. At that time, the fields were just sparsely dotted with bushes.Inspired by the idea of turning barren hills to green ones, Huang's father and Huang picked up the batons in succession.'The landscape looks completely different,' said Huang Xiaobin, who has spent 25 years planting trees and taking care of the forest. 'It's worthwhile,' he said simply, despite the harsh environment and heavy workloads.Thanks to hundreds of thousands of devoted rangers like the Huang family, China has made huge headway in reforestation over the past decades, contributing enormously to global efforts in fig...
