Envoys to China visit Xiamen to help the World Heritage Convention
The World Heritage Conference is about to be held. Fujian is ready to organize the conference at a high level to better show the world the Chinese style and tell the Fujian story. At the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 22 foreign envoys were in Fujian from July 13th to 17th. They went to Xiamen, Longyan, Ningde, Fuzhou and other places to visit the Gutian conference site, inspect Ningde’s Xiaqi village, etc., to understand the economic and social development of our province. 22 foreign envoys arrived in Fujian. At the first stop, they came to Xiamen, known as the “Sea Garden”. The envoys admired the achievements made in the development of the Xiamen Special Economic Zone.
Visit the Yundang Academy to understand the practice and results of ecological governance and protection
After getting off the plane on July 14, the envoys went straight to Yundang Academy to learn about the practices and results of the ecological management and protection of Yundang Lake. Somalia’s ambassador to China, Awale Ali Kurane, also took notes seriously. The comprehensive management of Yundang Lake has promoted the black and smelly waters and the extinct fish and shrimps of Yundang Lake to become the “Xiamen City Meeting Room” with clear waters and green shores and the fragrance of birds and flowers. It has become a good place for citizens to relax. “I really appreciate Xiamen’s achievements in balancing economic development and environmental protection, which are also closely related to Xi Jinping’s thoughts on ecological civilization.” Samoa’s ambassador to China, Tapsaray Toomata, said Xiamen’s experience It is worth learning and learning from all countries. He who has been to Xiamen before has witnessed the changes in Xiamen with his own eyes: “The city is getting more and more beautiful, and its development is getting better and better. I also heard that Xiamen is an immigrant city. I believe that it can attract so many people and it is naturally unique. Charm.”
Set foot on Gulangyu Island and revel in the unique cultural atmosphere here
Afterwards, the envoys took the “Lujiang 99” passenger ship to visit the scenery on both sides of the Lujiang River and were excited about their upcoming visit to Gulangyu, the Museum of Architecture of the World. The Minister of the Syrian Embassy in China, Bruhan Al Khatib, has not put down his phone, and recorded video after video, “I will send these videos to my friends in various countries to let them know what a beautiful city Xiamen is. .” Set foot on Gulangyu Island, this is a cultural tour of Xiamen. Visiting the Gulangyu Historical and Cultural Exhibition Hall, Shuzhuang Garden, walking through the streets to the homes of local residents to listen to family concerts… The compact and substantial itinerary allowed the envoys to fully indulge in the unique cultural atmosphere of Gulangyu. “This afternoon was very beautiful. I fully felt Xiamen’s great emphasis on the protection of cultural heritage and its unremitting efforts in the inheritance of historical and cultural heritage.” Shang Mugan, Minister of the Malaysian Embassy in China, said that Xiamen is an important place for cultural heritage protection.
The charm of Xiamen is everywhere
Private envoys, just like many ordinary tourists who come to Xiamen, also like to “take freely”, but compared to other tourists, they are more obsessed with digging Xiamen’s local culture. For example, knowing that the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in Yundang Academy has a good meaning in traditional Chinese culture, the envoys named it “Lucky tree” and immediately triggered a wave of group photos. They appreciate Xiamen’s rapid development while retaining its own characteristics. There were also some interesting details at the scene. For example, the Mauritian ambassador to China Wang Chunwan wore a Tang suit, which stood out among the envoys. As a descendant of Chinese descent, he has a natural kindness to China, and this is also his fourth visit to Fujian. He said that Xiamen makes him feel particularly cordial because he has the same blue sea and blue sky as Mauritius. And Tapsaray Toomata, who has been to Xiamen many times, misses Xiamen’s sunshine and seafood in his heart. He said that Xiamen is one of his favorite Chinese cities. The moment he landed from rainy Beijing to sunny Xiamen, he really felt very good, “and I can eat Xiamen’s seafood again.”

Explora Books announces the release of a new edition of Passages Home by Jeff Dwyer under the Explora Books imprint. Revisiting themes of war, memory, and emotional recovery, the novel returns for a new generation of readers at a moment when its subject—the invisible wounds of combat and the long road back from them—feels as urgent as ever.
Passages Home follows Jason, a veteran of the Iraq War, as he leaves Berkeley and makes his way north along California’s rugged Coast Highway toward Mendocino, carrying with him the quiet wreckage of war. The novel moves through vineyards, forests, beaches, and storm-soaked hillsides, where labor, solitude, and chance encounters begin to loosen the grip of memory. Jason fights a forest fire, survives a flood, tends a vineyard, and falls under the enigmatic guidance of a figure known only as the Crazy Man—whose influence, in encounters deep within a redwood forest, proves central to Jason’s gradual restoration.
As the journey unfolds, the physical landscape begins to mirror the fractures Jason carries within. The nurturing people of Mendocino, the cleansing trials of fire and flood, and the Crazy Man’s quiet counsel work together to guide him through passages that inch him back toward the life he knew before the war. It is not a swift or straightforward return. Dwyer traces the uncertain, nonlinear process of becoming whole again, allowing meaning to surface through experience rather than explanation—and in doing so, gives the novel its quiet emotional authority.
The book is dedicated to Dwyer’s son, with the hope that he, too, may someday complete his passages home. It is a dedication that lends the novel a deeply personal weight beneath its fictional surface, and signals the sincerity with which Dwyer approaches his subject.
Passages Home speaks to readers who have experienced profound loss, displacement, or emotional upheaval—whether through war or any other life-altering event. Written with lyrical precision and emotional restraint, it is an honest portrait of a man struggling to move forward, and of the unexpected places and people that make that possible.
Jeff Dwyer was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and raised in the island community of Alameda. He draws on a wide range of lived and academic experience in his writing. Alongside a career in the medical sciences, including positions at Duke University and the University of Southern California, he has written across fiction, nonfiction, and medical journals.
With its return on the Explora Books imprint, Passages Home reintroduces Jeff Dwyer’s novel to contemporary readers as a meditative and quietly reflective work shaped by movement, memory, and change.
Passages Home is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major book retailers.

CGTN published an article highlighting how China advances global human rights by prioritizing the rights to subsistence and development through practical cooperation. It underscores China’s domestic achievements in poverty alleviation and its international contributions as evidence that economic development and improved living standards are foundational to realizing human rights.
In Uganda, an East African country known for its favorable climate and abundant rainfall, agricultural modernization is changing lives.
Since the China-FAO-Uganda South-South Cooperation project launched in 2012, Chinese experts have helped local farmers raise productivity through hybrid rice, improved millet varieties and other technologies. Hybrid rice yields are now two to three times higher than traditional varieties. Some 70,000 farmers have benefited from the project.
Uganda’s experience reflects a broader belief that development is key to realizing human rights.
On Thursday, the 2026 Forum on Global Human Rights Governance opened in Beijing, bringing together more than 400 Chinese and international participants to discuss ways to advance human rights through development and cooperation.
Participants stressed that the right to development is a cornerstone of the global human rights system. Without the material conditions needed to exercise human rights, they cannot be fully realized.
Promoting human rights through development
Chinese President Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the protection of human rights. In a congratulatory letter to the same forum in 2023, he advocated the rights-through-development approach. Central to President Xi’s human rights philosophy is that “the happiness of the people is the greatest human right” and that “the rights to subsistence and development are the primary basic human rights.”
Wang Yiwei, vice president of the Academy of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era at Renmin University of China, told CGTN that this approach places people’s real-life well-being at the center of human rights protection. Rather than focusing solely on abstract rights, it emphasizes whether people have access to food, healthcare, education and opportunities to improve their lives.
As the world’s largest developing country, China has long championed the inclusion of the right to development as a key component of the international human rights agenda, and worked relentlessly to promote this concept globally.
In 2017, the United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a China-proposed resolution affirming the belief that “development advances human rights,” highlighting the importance of poverty reduction and improved living standards.
In 2025, the same resolution was adopted by consensus in the UN for the first time, reflecting growing support for the view that development and human rights are mutually reinforcing.
Turning principles into action
China has not only advocated the right to development, but has also translated the concept into practical cooperation.
The country has integrated development cooperation into its human rights approach. Under the Belt and Road Initiative, more than 420,000 jobs have been created in participating countries over the past decade, while nearly 40 million people have been lifted out of poverty. Meanwhile, Chinese medical teams have provided healthcare services to more than 300 million people in 77 countries and regions, and development assistance projects have supported food security and disease prevention efforts across Africa and other developing regions.
China’s emphasis on development rights is rooted in its own experience.
Over the past several decades, the country has lifted nearly 800 million people out of absolute poverty, contributing more than 70% of global poverty reduction. Basic medical insurance now covers more than 1.3 billion people, while average life expectancy has risen from 35 years in the 1940s to 79.25 years today.
China’s human rights vision, together with its remarkable implementation, has not only fundamentally transformed the lives of 1.4 billion Chinese people, but also provides an excellent example for the reform and development of international human rights, Zhang Weiwei, dean of the China Institute at Fudan University, said at the forum in Beijing.
“I believe it will continue to exert profound global influence,” Zhang added.

At its core, VNC AI integrates advanced natural language processing, intelligent reasoning engines, contextual memory systems, adaptive learning capabilities, and continuously optimized intelligence models to provide increasingly personalized user experiences.

Today, the VNC global community spans more than 300,000 users across over 7,000 communities worldwide, providing a strong foundation for large-scale testing, optimization, and future development of the platform.
The team believes that artificial intelligence should not be limited to technology professionals or specialized industries. Instead, advanced AI capabilities should be accessible, practical, and valuable for everyday users around the world.
“The future of artificial intelligence is not simply about technology—it is about empowering people.”
The VNC Development Team stated:
“Our goal is to create intelligent systems that help users learn faster, work more efficiently, solve problems more effectively, and make better decisions. The launch of VNC AI Super Assistant marks an important milestone in that journey, and we look forward to sharing this technology with our global community through the upcoming beta program.”
