Here is the news. With the launch of a new cargo route linking Guiang and Moscow in early July.
The number of international cargo routes connected to southwest China's Guizhou Province has reached 4.
This expansion is creating a more efficient and convenient air passage for trade.
Guizhou is known for its mountainous landscapes in China, which poses challenges for road and rail transportation, driving the need to develop air traffic.
Guizhou -Shuanlong Airport Economic Zone with Guiyang -Longdongbao International Airport as its core, was established in 2014 besides the newly opened route.
It also operates the other three freight lines, linking the provincial capital with India's Kolkata and Delhi as well as Karachi in in Pakistan, loaded with Russian seafood products, including snow crabs, king crabs, and sea urchins.
The cargo plane departed Moscow for Guiyang on July 13th and returned with 40 tons of of Chinese goods, mainly electronic products.
The route is currently customized according to the market, but the operator said that if the operation is well received the round flights will become regular starting from September, which will drive Guizhou's annual import and export trade volume to around 3 billion yuan, about 420 million US dollars, with a cargo throughput of some 15 ,000 tonnes per year, according to Su Bohwen -Haul with Guizhou First Catch Supply Chain Management Company.
It used to take 60 to 70 hours to transport seafood from Russia to Guizhou by rail and sea.
The new air route shortens the transportation time to 12 to 13 hours.
SUE's company plans to open a route to Norway in the second half of the year, aiming to import salmon and export Chinese e -commerce goods.
Official data showed that up to July 9th, the other three routes have operated 156 flights, transporting over 1 ,000 tons of exported goods worth $50 million USD, as well as 416 tonnes of imported goods worth nearly $3 million USD.
Foreign trade enterprises in Guizhou have played an important role in the launch of cargo routes, by docking the supplies and demands of markets at both ends, and negotiating lease agreements with airline companies.
Wu Xiong, director of Guizhou Coconut Elephant Supply Chain Management Company, said that But with these routes, the company can export clothing accessories, machine parts, electronic components, and other commodities to South Asia and import India's speciality crab.
WU revealed the company's plans to open an international cargo route from Guiyang to Ho Chi Minh City to import Vietnamese green lobster and fruit and to export promoted sci -tech innovation and international cooperation in the durian industry by establishing an alliance between the Hainan Academy of Agricultural Sciences and major durian industry associations in ASEAN member states.
The Alliance aims to promote cooperation between China and Austria's first versatile artificial intelligence model that is adept at analyzing a diverse range of pathological images.
This including the lungs, breast and liver.
This large -language model, dubbed Path Orchestra, represents a breakthrough in AI -assisted disease diagnosis, heralding a transformative shift from a singular model dedicated to a specific cancer to a versatile one capable of addressing a multitude of them.
The researchers from Air Force Medical University, Tsinghua University, and Sense Time leveraged China's largest domestic data set, comprising nearly 300 ,000 whole -slide digital Pathology Images, which equates to an impressive 300 TB of data.
Harnessing Self Supervised Learning, the model cross -learned to analyze over 20 different organs, and has accomplished a slew of clinical tasks including lesion identification, multicancer subtype differentiation, and biomarker assessment.
Wang Zhi, a professor from the Basic Medical science academy under the Air Force Medical University, noted that the diversity in pathological images poses a formidable challenge for AI applications, and this complexity has earned it the title of the duel in the in the realm of image processing.
According to a news release from the Air Force Medical University, the model has achieved an accuracy rate exceeding 95 % in nearly 50 clinical tasks including lymphoma subtype diagnosis and bladder cancer screening.
This advance is expected to substantially reduce the workload of pathologists and notably increase the efficiency of reviewing medical images.
PATH Orchestra stands as as an example among the burgeoning landscape of large models in China, representing the country's rapid and vibrant growth in the field of A .I.
of the more than 1 ,300 A .I.
language models globally.
36 % are from China, the second largest proportion after the United States.
That is according to a white paper on the Global Digital Economy released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology at the Global Digital Economy Conference, 2024.
You're Listening to Special English Amid the vibrant summer holiday season, Her Yu Ling has lately been occupied, side, managing her bed and breakfast nestled in the foothills of the Great Wall for guests from all over the world.
Fifty -five -year -old Herr said that her inn received more than 5 ,500 guests in the past month, generating a total revenue of 600 ,000 yuan, over US $84 ,000.
Spanning approximately 3 ,500 m2, Herz B &B is situated in Sheh Shar village, near the iconic Ba Dai Ling Great Wall Scenic Spot, in Beijing's suburban Yian Qing district.
Bating back to the Ming dynasty some 400 years ago, Shisha was once hindered by its remote location and poor transportation.
However, thanks to the popularity of the nearby Great Wall, the village has seen a cultural tourism boom in recent years.
The innkeeper noted that the presence of the Great Wall in almost every corner of Shishah is a major draw for both locals and tourists.
The tranquil and inviting ambiance there has catapulted the B &B to widespread acclaim resulting in total revenue of six 6 million yuan last year.
The increasing number of tourists has spurred more residents to convert their own courtyards into B &Bs.
ShBr now boasts 21 B &Bs collectively generating income of more than eight million yuan last year.
Among those benefiting from the tourism boom is Liu Yuching, who juggles a hectic schedule as a guide, narrating the village's history to tourists while running a B &B.
She has seen her annual income rise by over 40 ,000 yuan as a result.
The Great Wall stands as China's preeminent cultural legacy, consisting of walls scattered across 15 provincial level regions, with Yanqing alone boasting considerable Great Wall resources, stretching a hundred and seventy -nine kilometres.
Last year, Yanching topped all Beijing districts in holiday tourist traffic, with the Great Wall serving as a magnet for visitors from home and abroad.
According to Yeh Da Hua, head of the Yanching District Government, more cultural resources tied to the Great Wall will be developed, infusing new vitality into local tourism.
This is Special English It is now mid -summer in most parts of China, and a heatwave is sweeping across both the southern and northern parts of the country.
Although the sense of heat one feels can differ from place to place, the love toward one kind of plant in summer is shared by all Chinese people throughout the country.
It is the lotus, or water lily.
In Chinese, it is called heh choi, or lien chua.
The beautiful and graceful lotus flowers are now in full blossom, and the fresh green leaves, shaped like big fans, are waving in the wind.
Just looking at them can bring us a sense of coolness.
You can appreciate the great scenes of lotus ponds regions, at many famous parks, like the Summer Palace or Beihai Park, while in east China's Hengjou City, which is very famous for the West Lake, there is also a very popular tourist attraction called Lotuses in the Breeze at the Crooked Courtyard.
Undoubtedly, its graceful appearance contributes to people's love and favour toward it, but the Chinese people love the lotus for something more because it has been closely related and intertwined with Chinese culture since ancient times.
In China, the lotus is known as the gentleman's flower, because it grows out from the mud, but is still pure and unstained, and there's even a popular idiom in China that says, coming out of mud, unsoiled and unsullied, which is always used to describe a person who is clean and honest, and is well admired and respected.
Another reason the public love the lotus, I think, is probably concerned with its pronunciation.
In Chinese, the Lotus has two different names, respectively pronounced as Lian and He.
In Chinese, Lian sounds similar to characters meaning to bind, to connect, or being modest.
Her sounds similar to the character meaning harmony.
So you can easily understand why Chinese people love the lotus so much.
And, in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was more than one thousand years ago, a renowned scientist, neoconfusionist, named Zhou Dunyi wrote some prose featuring the Lotus plant by describing the image and quality of the lotus.
This article eulogizes the faithful character of the lotus, thus showing the author's noble personality of self -love and a free -flowing mind.
This prose aroused great resonance among the literati at that time, and was, consequently, widely spread across society.
Gradually, the value promoted in the prose became widely recognised and accepted by ordinary people.
Let's take a moment to enjoy this famous article written by Zhou Dunyi.
Lovers of flowering plants and shrubs we have had by scores.
But Tao Yuan Ming alone devoted himself to the chrysanthemum since the opening days of the Tongue Dynasty, it has been fashionable to admire the peony!
But my favorite is the Water Lily.
How stainless it rises from its slimy bed, how modestly it reposes on the clear pool.
An emblem of purity and truth, symmetrically perfect, its subtle perfume is wafted far and wide, while there it rests in spotless state, something to be regarded reverently from a distance, and not be profaned by familiar approach.
In my opinion, the gazamphemum is the flower of retirement and culture, the peony, the flower of rank and wealth—the water lily, the Lady Virtue, Som Parai.
Alas, few have loved the Chrysanthemum since Tao Yuan Ming, and none now love the water lily like myself.
Whereas the peony is a general favorite, with all mankind.
Besides the cultural connotations contained by the plant, the lotus also enjoys its popularity for its various functions.
Not to mention that the flower can be used for ornamentation.
The lotus leaves, however, have a medicinal functional, while lotus seeds can be both edible and medicinal.
What's more, don't forget the lotus root, hidden deep in the mud.
Yes, it is a delicious food, loved by many Chinese people, and a major raw ingredient for vegetarian cooking.
The love Chinese people have for the lotus goes far beyond words.
Hopefully, you can also enjoy the fragrance and beauty of the lotus.
