KABUL, July 6 (Xinhua) — Afghan interim government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid has welcomed the Russian Federation's decision to recognize the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan" as the de jure administration of the post-war Central Asian state and hopes that other countries will follow suit.

"We are grateful to Russia for this bold decision. We welcome it, and it can open a new page in relations between Afghanistan and Russia," Z. Mujahid said in an interview with local publication Tolonews on Friday evening.

Russia was the first country to officially recognize the interim government of Afghanistan and receive the ambassador of the interim government.

Z. Mujahid also noted that Russia’s decision “deserves high praise,” adding: “We also call on other countries to fulfill their obligations to establish contacts and build relations with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.”

The interim government of Afghanistan came to power in August 2021 after the withdrawal of foreign troops led by the United States. –0–

According to the agency, as of 05:00 on Sunday, the epicenter of the typhoon was located at a point with coordinates of 21.3 degrees north latitude and 118.1 degrees east longitude. It is expected to continue moving in a northeasterly direction at a speed of 10-15 km per hour, gaining strength.

From Sunday night to Monday morning, Danas is forecast to cross the Taiwan Strait from south to north and may pass by or make landfall on the west coast of Taiwan.

On Monday, the typhoon will reach the East China Sea and gradually approach the coastal areas of northern Fujian Province, as well as the central and southern parts of Zhejiang Province, the NMC added.

According to the NMC forecast, from 08:00 Sunday to 08:00 Monday, strong winds will rage in some parts of the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait area, the sea area east of Taiwan, the Bashi Strait area and some parts of the East China Sea, as well as coastal areas of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang provinces and Taiwan Island.

During the same period, heavy or torrential rains are expected in southeastern Zhejiang Province, northeastern Fujian Province and Taiwan Island. Heavy rains with precipitation amounts of up to 230 mm are possible in some areas of Taiwan Island.

It should be recalled that China has a four-level typhoon warning system, with the highest level of danger indicated by red, followed by orange, yellow and blue.

Under the influence of the typhoon, strong waves are expected in sea areas near Taiwan Island, the South China Sea and coastal waters off Fujian, Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces from Sunday afternoon to Monday afternoon, according to the National Marine Forecasting Center. -0-

BEIJING, July 6 (Xinhua) — Recent photos of Tsinghua University students wearing mysterious headdresses studded with silver electrodes at a theater performance have caused a stir online.

The “magic hats” are key components of a portable brain-computer interface (BCI) system designed to record neural activity as students experience live performances, the university said. The experiment was aimed at decoding aesthetic responses and studying neural activity patterns during art appreciation.

Gao Xiaorong, a professor at Tsinghua University, confirmed that this marks “China’s first application of non-invasive BCI technology in neuroscience research directly on a live performance stage.”

Results showed increased activity in areas of the brain responsible for emotion and sensory processing during artistic activity.

“Live performances elicit stronger brain resonance associated with emotional immersion,” explained doctoral student Li Zexuan, a member of the research team. “These findings reveal why live performances evoke deeper experiences in us.”

BCI technology, which records and decodes brain signals to enable “dialogue” between mind and machine, is rapidly developing in China.

Currently, this research group is collaborating with other universities and creative groups across the country to study the influence of art on mood.

“We aim to identify neural patterns in people suffering from emotional disorders, such as anxiety patients, to provide scientific guidance for emotional therapy,” said Gao Xiaorong. -0-

LOS ANGELES, July 5 (Xinhua) — Billionaire Elon Musk announced Saturday that an America Party is being formed to "bring back freedom to you (American citizens)," after an online poll he launched earlier this week showed strong support for the new political force.

“Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from a two-party /some would say one-party/ system,” he wrote in a post announcing the poll on Friday. More than 65 percent of the 1.2 million respondents supported the idea.

Reacting to the poll results on Saturday, Musk wrote: "By a 2-1 margin, you want a new political party, and you will get one! When it comes to bankrupting our country through waste and corruption, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy."

The billionaire said the America Party would focus on winning two to three seats in the Senate and eight to 10 seats in the House, a strategy he believes could change the situation in Congress.

But election experts point out the high barriers to entry for new parties. In California, organizers must either register about 75,000 members or collect 1.1 million signatures to get on the ballot.

Political strategists speculate that Musk’s announcement may be more about pressuring lawmakers than building a solid third party. The move follows President Donald Trump’s passage of a “one big beautiful bill” that cut electric vehicle subsidies and increased federal spending — measures Musk, whose Tesla benefits from those subsidies, has opposed. –0–
