Video Player Close HANGZHOU, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Wen Shishan, 57, wandered in a bamboo grove, holding a machete in search of ideal materials to make oil-paper umbrellas, an old craft dating back to over a millennium ago. Situated in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province, Wen's workshop boasts more than 800,000 fans on the popular Chinese short-video platform Douyin. The digital renaissance of the ancient handicraft can be traced in part to Zhang Jianhua, a short video maker born in the 1990s. In 2018, Zhang began to help Wen film the production process of the oil-paper umbrellas, driven by a fierce reluctance to let the fine art vanish into thin air. As Wen and his delicate artifacts flicker across hundreds of millions of smartphone screens, the old master feels increasingly heartened.

Discovering any trace always excites the youthful paleontologist. He once found fossils with footprints of a dinosaur making a U-turn, the world's first evidence of such a maneuver. He was the first to identify tracks of a swimming theropod in China. And he made a mind-blowing finding of parallel tracks left by dromaeosaurs in one site, indicating that the dinosaurs, which were previously thought to be solitary, lived in groups. His latest discovery is a group of 80 million-year-old tracks left by at least eight dinosaurs in east China's Fujian Province.

The U.S., the world's largest economy, owes India $ 216 billion in loan as the country's debt grows to a record $ 29 trillion, an American lawmaker has said, cautioning the leadership against galloping foreign debt, the largest of which comes from China and Japan. In 2020, the U.S. national debt was $ 23.4 trillion, that was $ 72,309 in debt per person. “We are going to grow our debt to $ 29 trillion. That is even more debt owed per citizen. There is a lot of misinformation about where the debt is going. The top two countries we owe the debt to are China and Japan, not actually our friends,” Congressman Alex Mooney said. “We are at global competition with China all the time. They are holding a lot of the debt. We owe China over $ 1 trillion and we owe Japan over $ 1 trillion,” the Republican Senator from West Virginia said on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives as he and others opposed the latest stimulus package of $ 2 trillion.

The Biden administration announced sanctions and visa bans on Friday targeting Saudi Arabian citizens over the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi , but stopped short of imposing sanctions on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman himself. U.S. President Joe Biden's actions in the first weeks of his administration appear aimed at fulfilling campaign promises to realign Saudi ties after critics accused his predecessor, Donald Trump, of giving the Arab ally and major oil producer a pass on gross human rights violations. A senior Biden administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the approach aims to create a new launching-off point for ties with the kingdom without breaking a core relationship in the Middle East. Relations have been severely strained for years by the war in Yemen and the killing inside a Saudi consulate of Khashoggi, a U.S. resident who wrote columns for the Washington Post critical of the crown prince's policies. Importantly, the decisions ... » Learn More about U.S. imposes sanctions, visa bans on Saudis for journalist Khashoggi’s killing
