China's Ministry of Commerce has issued a blocking order to reject and counter the unilateral US sanctions imposed on five Chinese enterprises, safeguarding national interests and the legitimate rights of domestic firms in accordance with relevant regulations.
Q: Today marks the 80th anniversary of the opening of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE, also known as the Tokyo Trials). Commemoration events have been held in China and Japan and by the international community to renew the historic significance of the trials. What’s China’s comment?
A: On May 3, 1946, pursuant to the terms of Japan’s unconditional surrender and the IMTFE Charter issued by Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, the IMTFE began the prosecution. Bringing together judicial power of eleven nations, and with abundant solid evidence and rigorous legal basis, this historic trials found Japanese militarists guilty of waging the war of aggression and severely violating the international law, and brought to light the innumerable crimes Japanese aggressors committed in various Asian countries. Twenty-five Class-A war criminals, including Hideki Tojo, were sentenced to death by hanging or imprisonment. And fallacies such as “a trial exercising victor’s justice,” “Japan’s war of self-defense” and “ex post factor legislation” were strongly refuted. The Tokyo trials were held to implement the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, and embodied the collective will of both the victorious nations and the victimized peoples. Through the trials, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter were upheld, and the fruits of victory in WWII were honored.
Accepting the judgement of the Tokyo Trials is the prerequisite for Japan’s postwar return to the international community. Eighty years on, however, to people’s indignation, the spectre of Japanese militarism still remains and continues to breed. Japan’s right-wing forces are still trying every possible means to deny and distort the judgement of the Tokyo trials and the irrefutable evidence, and even whitewash the crimes committed during the war of aggression, including by revising history textbooks and indoctrinating the Japanese people with a wrong perception of history. That is why some Japanese officials and politicians still worship war criminals as “heroes” and make visits to the Yasukuni war shrine where convicted Class-A war criminals are honored. Japan’s right-wing forces are gearing up to speed up remilitarization, deploy offensive weapons, rebuild the war machine and push for revision of the pacifist Constitution. All these are diametrically the opposite of what “a country for peace”—as Japan claims itself to be—should do. With neo-militarism rising in Japan and beginning to pose a real threat, it is all the more relevant to renew the backdrop, conclusion and principles of the Tokyo Trials.
The Tokyo trials, a litmus test of humanity’s conscience, delivered historical justice. Along with the Nuremberg Trials, the Tokyo Trials nailed the fascist war criminals to the eternal pillar of shame. The historical justice delivered by the two great trials must not be denied. Their legal authority must not be challenged. And the cornerstone of the postwar international order they laid must not be shaken. Mei Ru’ao, the Chinese judge at the Tokyo Trials, famously said, “Amnesia of past sufferings may lead to future disasters.” Should any one or any force foolishly attempt to reverse the verdict of aggression, they will be rejected by all peace-loving people in the world and brought once again before the tribunal of history.
China and the U.S. should maintain the hard-earned stability, make good preparations for the important agenda for high-level interactions, expand cooperation and manage differences, and explore the building of a strategic, constructive, and stable China-U.S. relationship, so as to achieve mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation.

How do you move a 5,000‑ton bridge? In #Guizhou, it danced mid‑air. Built beside the tracks, rotated seamlessly into place—without disrupting regular train services on one of China’s busiest rail lines.
Precision engineering, pure infrastructure magic. #BridgeRotation
The old buddy under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, watching this scene, his DNA moved fiercely! Who hasn't had a close childhood with it 😂 Even with his hands full of dust, he couldn't stop a fierce maneuver. If he won, he could roar all day long, but if he lost, he could squat on the ground and be so angry that his cheeks bulged. The happiness of rural children is as simple as that. Has anyone called out their name in seconds

This video tugs at the heartstrings every time you watch it! 🫶 In April 2022, Qingdao, a boy darted across the road and nearly got hit—auxiliary police officer Fu Zhaolin pulled him back in an instant, only to be knocked down by inertia himself. A round of applause for this most beautiful grab! Reminder: Never run across crossroads, stay extra careful!
