  Young Chinese Athletes Shine at Tokyo Olympics
  Global People
  Issue 15, 2021
  Chinese audiences followed the performances of Chinese athletes during the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 with rapt excitement.
  Yang Qian, a 21-year-old shooter, claimed the first gold of the Games with a victory in women’s 10m air rifle. From trailing by a mere 0.1 point to capping her opponent at 9.8 points, Yang impressed the audience with her composure under great pressure.
  In addition to Yang’s excellent performance, other equally impressive events unfolded during the swim meet. Li Bingjie, just 19, made a comeback in the sprint period of the women’s 400m freestyle final and won the second medal for the Chinese swimming team. She was also the final athlete fending off the challenge to win the gold for China during the women’s 4x200m freestyle relay.
  Whether competing alone or as a team, the young athletes were surging with passion, persevered to fulfill their dreams, and shone with strong faith for the glory of their motherland. Although very young, they have
  already come out on top of the world in their respective sports. Their long and arduous endeavor deserves immense praise and acclaim.

  Caijing Magazine
  Issue 16, 2021
  On July 16, 2021, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), the central bank, released the white paper “Progress of Research & Development of E-CNY in China,” announcing the introduction of the country’s digital fiat currency— e-CNY.
  At the release conference, Fan Yifei, deputy governor of the PBOC, mentioned that at present, there are six state-owned commercial banks, one joint-stock commercial bank, and two private banks that have been involved in the research and development (R&D) of the e-CNY. Besides, the country’s three leading telecommunications services providers have also established joint project teams with banks to get involved in the R&D. As of June 30, 2021, the number of pilot zones for e-CNY has increased to 1.32 million, covering payments for utilities, catering services, transportation, shopping, and government services.
  Fan emphasized that there is no preset timetable for the implementation of e-CNY. And the e-CNY operational institutions have yet to clarify the business prospects of the digital currency, but everybody still seems to be counting down to the official adoption of e-CNY.
  50 Years of Cultural Artifact Diplomacy   China Newsweek
  Issue 26, 2021
  Cultural artifacts are national treasures that play the role of a national business card to showcase a civilization’s profoundity and richness. The significance of cultural artifacts transcends times and space, and evokes people’s sentiments in a subtle manner. Over five decades ago, China began to use cultural artifacts as a means of communication with the rest of the world.
  Wang Limei had worked at the foreign exchanges department of the National Cultural Heritage Administration since 1978 until her retirement. She has witnessed the ups and downs of China’s communication with other countries in the area of cultural relics. According to Wang, organizing an exhibition of cultural artifacts is like directing a film. There should be a theme, and the cultural relics are the actors, she said, “A good exhibition is like a symphony that involves a prelude, climax, and a memorable ending.”
  Zhao Gushan, deputy director of the Art Exhibitions China, said that since 2008, China has been holding foreign cultural artifacts exhibitions. Around 2016, these kinds of exhibitions took center stage among all exhibitions.
  Prosperity Along the Grand Canal
  Minsheng Weekly
  Issue 16, 2021
  The Grand Canal is a vast waterway system in east China, running from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang Province in the south. It is composed of three parts: the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, the Grand Canal of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Eastern Zhejiang Canal. It spans 3,200 kilometers, making it the world’s longest canal system and among the greatest projects built in ancient times. It demonstrates the great wisdom and courage of the working people and presents the long-standing history and civilization of the Chinese nation.
  There is still much to discover and uncover by delving into the abundant historical and cultural resources of the Grand Canal, thus making a strong case for the protection, inheritance, and utilization of this precious heritage. It will also exert a positive influence on the regional economy along the Grand Canal.
  In the process of promoting the Grand Canal culture, local characteristics should be highlighted and innovative approaches should be adopted.
