The case of a Chinese student in the middle of a US university scandal is raising questions for students and parents alike. Those, who always wish the best for their children, should pay special attention to such cases, especially to donations. CGTN’s Gary Anglebrandt tells us why.
In a country that loves its warm and hot beverages, beer is one thing most Chinese enjoy cold. And it’s been seeing a hot streak, as evidenced by national sales figures. The target market in China has gradually shifted to middle and high-end drinkers, with more quality brewed into every sip. CGTN’s Gary Anglebrandt has more.
The death toll of the massacre there has risen to 50, after police found another victim at one of the mosques. Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, has just held a press conference, saying that the bodies of those killed would begin to be released to families for burial. All bodies will be returned by Wednesday. She said the country’s cabinet will meet on Monday to discuss a policy response and a change to gun laws. She also confirmed that her office had received a “manifesto” from the gunman just before the attack. But she said it did not include a location or specific details. Arden said the manifesto was sent to security services within two minutes of receipt. Gary Anglebrandt has more on the tragic situation.
The findings of one of the top winners, Liu Yongtan, are expected to improve radar detection systems. CGTN’s Gary Anglebrandt takes a closer look at the man behind China’s latest discovery, which could transform the way we use satellite networks.
US stock prices continued to rise on Monday in a streak not matched since 1987. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a record high for a 12th straight session, at 20,837 points. 
The UN Security Council adopted the resolution as one of the deadliest air assaults of the seven-year war pounded Eastern Ghouta. For a week, warplanes flown by government forces and their allies pounded the densely populated enclave east of Damascus, the last rebel bastion near the capital. More than 500 people have been killed. CGTN’s Gary Anglebrandt gives us more background on this rebel enclave.
It’s a different winter story in the northeastern part of China. Cities and villages are promoting their snow and ice to attract tourists. People come from home and abroad to get a taste of this winter wonderland.

The Nanjing massacre has left people with memories of suffering, and pain that resists healing. Yu Changxiang is one of the survivors of the massacre and he tells us his story.
“On May 2nd, I received a call from the provincial Marrow Donor Program, informing me that the blood of a 15-year-old boy and mine have been successfully matched. From Sept. 9th to 11th, I had eight injections. My arms felt like they were turning into a hornet’s nest. But I’m pretty used to it and feel a little uncomfortable if there’s no injection waiting for me.”
Those are some of the contents in the diary written by the brave donor, Xu Aifei, a girl from east China’s Zhejiang Province. Xu said she was really surprised when she first received the phone call, because of the tiny probability of a perfect match.
US President Donald Trump held a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron, in which Trump stressed that he believed Paris was one of the most beautiful cities in the world. But these warm and praising words stand in contrast to what he said in February earlier this year.
When delivering a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February, Trump quoted who he said was a good friend of his named “Jim”, who the US media questions whether or not he even exists at all. But Trump said this “Jim” used to visit Paris every year but no longer does because of terrorism fears.

Alipay or WeChat? This is the question posed most often when a purchase is made in China. Cards and cash, the once-dominant purchasing methods, have become a secondary option in less than half a decade. As the mobile payment trend gathers momentum, the days of coins and banknotes are becoming a mere memory for more and more people.
US President Donald Trump in an address to Congress on Tuesday night in Washington DC ran through many of his favorite topics – immigration, jobs, infrastructure, taxes and deregulation. But one of the favorite targets of his campaign – China – was only mentioned once, and followed a general lament over the loss of American manufacturing jobs.
They used to just be called cell phones, mobiles, or even more simply – phones.
Now, the cell phones of a decade ago have picked up the unglamorous nickname of “dumbphones”, thanks to the ubiquity of the smartphone that’s risen since.

The waters of St. Clair County and the month of June — two things for years I have been saying people could do more to take advantage of for summer recreation.
On the Friday of the first week of this month, I took these sentiments to heart and kayaked 27 miles in St. Clair County, starting in Lake Huron and ending at Algonac State Park, journeying nearly the whole length of the St. Clair River.
The economy of St. Clair County has long lagged those of its metro Detroit neighbors to the south. But its biggest hurdle may be moving the mindset of its own residents.
High school graduates are as likely to head for the county border in search of greater opportunities as to stay, and residents see local leaders as just as likely to get in the way of new ideas as to encourage any.
“The city didn’t get along with the county. The foundation stuck to itself. Everyone just did their own thing,” said Randy Maiers, president of the Community Foundation of St. Clair County.
But a spate of recent projects, totaling $234 million in planned or underway investment, has development officials touting a reversal of that trend. They say there’s a new appreciation for collaboration and making better use of the area’s natural asset, its water geography, to attract business. They aren’t predicting a massive economic boom or large-scale influx of new residents, but instead simply want to capitalize on what exists to create an improved quality of life for those who are there.
