On Monday, at the first United Nations Summit for Refugees and Migrants, UN members pledged, through the New York Declaration, to protect and help refugees, and better respond to the refugee crisis.
Health and family planning authorities of Yichang, Central China's Hubei province, recently issued an "open letter" urging young members of the Party and youth league who work for the local government to have two children and the older ones to encourage their grown-up children to do the same, in order to set an example for the rest of the people.
"TO ANY EMPLOYEE who buys an iPhone 7, come and quit your job." An open letter written by the owner of a company in Central China's Henan province to his employees has gone almost viral online. The administrative department of the company has confirmed the letter's authenticity, saying those who buy iPhones are "unpatriotic". A comment in Beijing Youth Daily questions the logic:
A SECTION OF THE GREAT WALL in the rural area of Suizhong county, Northeast China's Liaoning province, has always been protected as a precious heritage. Yet several recent photographs show it is now covered with cement and almost destroyed. Local authorities claim they have "repaired" it. Beijing News says their response is irresponsible:
A 22-YEAR-OLD STUDENT, surnamed Liu, in Siyuan College, Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi province, has been denied poverty allowance by the school because he has a laptop. Liu has registered as a poor student in his hometown in the northern part of Shaanxi and, according to regulations, is entitled to receive 6,000 yuan ($900) as living allowance.

China's economy is in historic transition. Opportunities and challenges abound. China's problems are daunting: slower growth, social imbalances, industrial overcapacity, excessive debt, massive pollution - the list goes on. How to address such diverse, complex issues?

The United States has not suffered any major terrorist attacks in the 15 years following the Sept 11, 2001, attacks. But that does not mean it has been free of terrorist attacks or threats; on the contrary, they are on the rise given the emergence of "lone wolf" attackers.

Instilling confidence in the international community about China is a tall order amid gloomy, if not nerve-racking, reports about the global economy and repeated rumors about the country's imminent economic collapse.
