BEIJING, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) — Chinese authorities have issued guidelines aimed at strengthening data-related disciplines and cultivating digital talents to enhance the role of data as an innovation driver in developing new productive forces.

The document, issued by China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) jointly with four other government departments, outlines 12 tasks in four key areas, focusing on discipline development, professional training, academic research, and cooperation between enterprises, universities, research institutes, and end users.

According to the document, China will support relevant institutions, with the participation of data processing enterprises and research institutes, to build data-related disciplines such as data science and engineering, as well as digital economy and governance.

Vocational schools are encouraged to make timely and dynamic adjustments to their disciplines in response to industry development needs, and explore the possibility of creating market-oriented specializations such as data collection and cleaning, data labeling, data compliance, and data processing.

China will also encourage local governments to establish clusters based on industrial parks and support leading enterprises, top colleges and vocational institutions to jointly build cross-regional cooperation communities that integrate industrial development and data-related education, the document said. -0-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump proposed on Wednesday easing federal fuel economy rules for passenger car manufacturers.

"We are officially repealing Joseph Biden's CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards," he said at a White House press conference.

The industry average for passenger cars and light trucks in 2031 will be about 34.5 miles per gallon (14.7 kilometers per liter), up from the 50.4 mpg (21.4 kilometers per liter) set by the Biden administration, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said.

This move will lower costs for American consumers, protect American auto jobs and make cars much more affordable for American families, Trump said.

Current standards set by the previous administration go far beyond the requirements enacted by Congress, the Department of Transportation announced on Wednesday. The agency noted that the president's proposal would save Americans $109 billion over the next five years and reduce the average cost of a new car by $1,000.

After the proposal is published in the federal register, the public will have 45 days to submit comments. The date for public hearings will be announced later, the Ministry of Transport stated.

Kunming, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) — Boiling water in a kettle, adding tea leaves… the entire process of a tea ceremony has long been part of the morning routine of Anton Bessonov, who has lived in Menghai County, China, for seven years.

This place in Yunnan Province (Southwest China) is considered the birthplace of pu-erh. Anton first tried this tea 25 years ago in Moscow. Back then, he was fascinated by the Chinese tea master's technique, sparking his interest in this ancient Chinese drink, a reflection of the culture of the Middle Kingdom. It was in Menghai that tea changed the Muscovite's life.

In 2017, Anton decided to first spend a year in Xiamen to learn Chinese, and then head to Yunnan Province to search for the origins of pu'er tea. He eventually made it to Menghai County, where he wandered through tea plantations, searching for delicious tea, and studying the tea production process—from bud picking to heat treatment of the leaves.

Then Anton met Yu Guan, who became his Chinese partner. She said, "The way Anton completely immerses himself in the study of pu'er is truly admirable. He respects this land and truly wants to preserve its traditions." Noticing this, workers in the local tea industry gradually accepted Anton into their ranks.

In March 2024, Anton founded his own tea trading company. He personally selects tea leaves, participates in tea processing, and designs packaging. On the social network Telegram, he frequently shares content about his daily tea preparation in Menghai, hoping to bring authentic pu-erh tea to Russia and introduce as many people as possible to the origins of this variety.

Under Anton's influence, many Russians traveled to Menghai to witness the pu-erh tea making process firsthand and to experience the local lifestyle.

Anton added that he also wants to develop a special type of tea and hopes that thanks to it, more Russians will come to China not only to drink tea, but also to better understand Chinese culture. -0-

The city of Murmansk is located in northwestern Russia and is the administrative center of the Murmansk Oblast. It is located on the shores of the Kola Bay of the Barents Sea, approximately 300 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. It is the largest city in the Arctic. Murmansk serves as the political, economic, scientific, educational, cultural, and industrial center of the region, and is also the only ice-free natural seaport in the Arctic. Murmansk was founded in 1916 and was awarded the title of "Hero City" during the Great Patriotic War for its heroic resistance to the Nazi invaders.

In recent years, tourism has become a prominent area of Russian-Chinese cooperation. More and more Chinese tourists are visiting Murmansk to witness the mesmerizing northern lights, admire the fjords, visit the world's first nuclear icebreaker, the Lenin, and experience the culture of the indigenous Arctic Sami people.
