China Travel Horoscope

Visiting China is likely on the bucket-list of most tourists. The stunning snow-capped mountains, proud rivers, and the many rich cultures, make it a wonderfully diverse and unique country – an ideal destination. Yet, planning a visit can be daunting. China is vast and the geography will be different depending on where you visit. So, it is important to research before you go and factor in the area’s climate with regards to when you visit.

Choosing the right time to visit is key if you want to make the most out of each region. That’s why, below is a China travel horoscope that shows you the best times to visit the main areas in China:

Beijing is China’s cultural center and the capital of the country. It’s grandeur is unsurpassable and visiting is sure to leave you in awe. The hottest months are July and August, but with the high temperatures, come more tourists and crowds. A lot of events get canceled due to the heat. The coldest months are December, January and February. Winter in Beijing can be unbearable with temperatures that could easily dip below zero. But for a more pleasant visit, with milder temperatures, the best months to visit are May, June and October.

China Travel Horoscope

Winter can be a great time to visit too as the Great Wall receives a dusting of snow and the snow-covered ancient temples turn the city into a majestic winter wonderland.

#2 Shanghai

The energetic hub of Shanghai is truly a city full of surprises and a visit here is truly an experience. Like Beijing, the hottest months of July and August bring a huge influx of visitors and the temperatures can get uncomfortably hot. The peak season for Shanghai is in spring (late March to May), and autumn (September to November). The coldest months of January and February can be avoided if you don’t want to experience the chill. Shanghai is wonderful during its pleasant shoulder season in May and October.

The spring months are particularly great to visit as you’ll be able to witness the city come alive during the season of blooming flowers and trees.

Sichuan is known for its night markets, fiery food, and its giant pandas. Summer is a great time for hiking enthusiasts as days are warm and dry but evenings are cooler. Visitors should avoid the hottest month of August. Also, some areas might be too cold for exploring around December and January. Instead, consider March or April, as temperatures will be mild and days are warm and dry.

China Travel Horoscope

April and May are great months to visit as the rain-fed countryside will be green and lush and the days will be filled with the joyous sound of cicadas.

Guilin, known as the ‘City of Light’ due to the golden sunlight over its lush rolling hills, is a must-visit for nature and karst landscape admirers. December, January and February are the coldest months for Guilin so these should be avoided if you’d like to experience the beauty of the picturesque cliffs, rough waters, and bamboo forests.

The popular months to visit are April to June as flowers are in bloom and the sky is often clear. The wet monsoon season in summer should also be avoided if you’d like a pleasant weather experience.

Tibet is the roof of the world and few places in the world offer such a level of mindfulness and appreciation of nature. Tibet is at its most beautiful and clear in spring and autumn (April to May and September to October). As temperatures can get as low as – 20 degrees Celsius at night and rarely exceed 20 degrees Celsius during the day, winter isn’t the best time for visiting.

China Travel Horoscope

The summer months do offer a higher probability of clear skies, however, the temperature in many areas can still get very cold around this time of the year.

As Yunnan is located at a lower latitude than northern Chinese regions, it can be slightly warmer here all year round. The best time to visit Yunnan is from March to May, as temperatures during this season are mild and humid, and the forests are lush and amazing. Summer in Yunnan can be hot and humid and thunderstorms can occur.

From December to February, temperatures are relatively warm but this season does come with its own downfalls. The area’s most fascinating attractions, such as the Erhai Lake and Shilin Stone Forest, will be foggy and visibility will be low.

Accommodation

Accommodation is available all over China. China’s big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and as Chengdu are well equipped for tourists with hotels, hostels, Airbnbs, and even nearby hospitals. China’s streets are also great for food stores, restaurants, parks and of course, sightseeing. The locals are warm and friendly and there is always plenty of language help available.

China Travel Horoscope

Besides big cities, there are also numerous smaller cities, towns and villages that provide accommodation and alternative tourist attractions. The great thing about China is that it has something for absolutely everyone.

Last but not least, Chinese cuisine is incredibly diverse – from dim sum in Cantonese to the famous fiery Sichuan cuisine, Chinese food is certainly one unforgettable experience. There are many small restaurants and street food stalls to explore, perfect for those looking to experience a taste of China.

In Beijing and Shanghai, most restaurants have a variety of Western dishes and this makes it relatively easy for visitors to find dishes to suit their taste. All throughout China, many restaurants have menus in both Chinese and English, so you don’t have to worry about language barriers.

China is a great place for shoppers looking for everything from the latest fashion trends, unique souvenirs to the highest quality products at bargain prices. Whether you are a souvenir hunter or a gadget geek, China offers just about anything you could wish for in terms of shopping. In the big cities, malls, department stores and supermarkets are plentiful.

China Travel Horoscope

Besides shopping malls, street markets are also very popular in big cities like Beijing. There are a wide selection of goods to choose from – knock-off handbags, watches, electronics and traditional dress. However, one important thing to note is that if you’re looking to purchase cheap knockoff products, remember to haggle – the price isn’t usually fixed and you can always get a lower price if you know the ropes.

China is definitely no stranger to nightlife. From bustling bars and nightclubs in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai to karaoke spots in the smaller cities, the country’s nightlife is something to behold. The best way to experience the nightlife is to go to the city center and explore the popular bars, clubs, and lounges.

There are also plenty of live music venues that you can choose from in China. Chinatown, Beijing’s Houhai and Shanghai’s Xintiandi are especially great destinations for nightlife activities. Additionally, many bars and clubs offer food and drinks at a reasonable price.

China has an extensive network of transport options so getting around is easy and hassle-free. In addition to inter-city trains, buses, and flights, there are also plenty of taxi services, buses, and other transportation options. The more tech-savvy travellers will be pleased to know that the likes of DiDi, Meituan, and other ridehailing apps are available in China.

electric bikes and bikes-sharing services are also available in all major cities. They are great for short trips as they are cheap, safe and convenient.

Chinese Zodiac: Everything You Need to Know

What is the chinese zodiac.

Chinese zodiac, aka Shu Xiang, is a long-standing folk culture in China, represented by 12 animals, in order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. The 12 zodiac signs are the figurative representatives of the 12 Earthly Branches ( Zi-Rat, Chou-Ox, Yin-Tiger, Mao-Ribbit, Chen-Dragon, Si-Snake, Wu-Horse, Wei-Sheep, Shen-Monkey, You-Rooster, Xu-Dog and Hai-Pig), and with the development of history, they are gradually integrated with the folk beliefs and concepts, reflected in marriage, career, character, fortune and so on.

Chinese Zodiac

What is your Chinese Zodiac Sign?

Your zodiac sign is determined by your lunar year of birth. The dates of Chinese New Year change every year, so it’s easy for someone born in January or February to get their zodiac sign wrong.

You can quickly find your Chinese zodiac sign according to the table below.

What is the origin of the Chinese Zodiac?

The origin of the Chinese zodiac is believed to be related to animal worship, and there was a relatively complete zodiac system before the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC). In fact, there is no definitive conclusion on the origin of the Chinese zodiac, but various legends and speculations make it more mysterious and interesting.

Here is an engrossing folk tale :

The Yellow Emperor wanted to choose 12 Chinese animals to serve as palace guards. The Cat asked the Rat to sign up, but the Rat forgot, which led to the Cat seeking revenge when it saw the Rat. Originally, the Ox was recommended as the first because of his honesty and diligence, but the Rat sneaked onto the Ox’s back to take the lead. The Tiger and the Dragon were not convinced, and were named the King of the Forest and the God of the Sea, ranking behind the Ox. The Rabbit had a race with the Dragon and finally won the race, ahead of the Dragon. After some competition, the Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, and Rooster followed closely behind the Dragon. The Dog was fined last for biting the Rabbit in a fit of rage. The Pig took the last seat due to being late.

The Personality of Different Chinese Zodiac Signs

People summarize the character of Shu Xiang through the nature of the zodiac animals. For example, people born under the Ox sign are reliable, diligent and hard-working, but have a fierce temper and are not good at expressing themselves.

However, in real life, the development of character is closely related to environment and encounters. Even people born in the same year may have different personalities. Therefore, the following is for reference only.

Advantages: resourceful, versatile, optimistic, adaptable, easygoing

Disadvantages: timid, stubborn, self-centered, lack of perseverance

Advantages: reliable, diligent, prudent, honest

Disadvantages: Stubborn, fractious, not good at expression

Advantages: independent, brave, confident, right-minded

Disadvantages: reckless, arrogant, overly competitive, imprudent

Advantages: gentle, quiet, modest, patient, responsible, meticulous

Disadvantages: timid, conservative, indecisive

Advantages: adventurous, ambitious, romantic, energetic

Disadvantages: lack of persistence, overstrict, irritable

Advantages: dedicated, humorous, sociable, perceptive, intelligent

Disadvantages: possessive, lazy, prodigal

Advantages: animated, warm-hearted, wise, independent

Disadvantages: conceited, inflexible, outspoken, extravagant

Advantages: benevolent, upright, cordial, softhearted, elegant

Disadvantages: shy, sentimental, indecisive, pessimistic

Advantages: up-and-coming, friendly, smart, frank, enthusiastic

Disadvantages: inattentive, self-respect, lack of patience

Advantages: temperate, incisive, accommodating, far-seeing

Disadvantages: short-tempered, overconfident, flattering

Advantages: cautious, righteous, loyal, helpful, reliable

Disadvantages: emotional, conservative, critical

Advantages: cool-headed, ebullient, romantic, compassionate, optimistic

Disadvantages: taciturn, crabby, sleepy, extravagant

Lucky Signs of the Chinese Zodiac

Unlucky signs of the chinese zodiac, chinese zodiac compatibility.

Are you curious who your Mr./Ms. Right is? The compatibility of the zodiac animals, widely popular among the Chinese people, is based on the principle of the 12 zodiac signs complementing each other. In numerology, the zodiac signs correspond to the 12 earthly branches, and the 12 earthly branches are endowed with the attributes of the Five Elements (Metal – Monkey, Rooster; Wood – Tiger, Rabbit; Water – Rat, Pig; Fire – Snake, Horse; Earth – Ox, Dragon, Sheep, Dog).

It is believed that people born in a certain zodiac year have the characteristics of that zodiac animal, which will more or less affect their personality and thus hinder or actively promote a romantic relationship.

Find the right one based on the table below.

Zodiac Year of Birth (Ben Ming Nian)

Ben Ming Nian refers to the year of the lunar zodiac that occurs once every 12 years. People experience their birth year of the Chinese zodiac sign at the ages of 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, and 108.

In traditional Han customs, Ben Ming Nian is often considered an unlucky year, during which you may encounter many obstacles. So how do you create good luck in your Zodiac Year of Birth.

Every Zodiac Year of Birth, people from all over China, both adults and children, will wear red underwear and red ornaments. They believe that only in this way can they avoid misfortune, adversity and disasters. During the Spring Festival, streets and bazaars are filled with red hand ropes, necklaces, and belts, which place people’s good wishes for blessing.

When encountering unsatisfactory things, you need to control your temper and don’t vent it to the other half. Pay extra attention to your physical condition.

Restrain your extravagant habits and spend less money on impractical items. Timely communication with the other half will make the relationship go more smoothly.

In addition, you need to change irregular dietary habits and increase exercise.

Year of the Tiger 2022

2022, represented by the Chinese Zodiac Animal Tiger, starts on February 1, 2022 and lasts to January 21, 2023. The most recent Tiger Years are 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010, 2022, 2034.

If you were born in one of the above years, then 2022 is your Ben Ming Nian (Zodiac Year of Birth), which is unlucky according to Chinese folklore. However, let go of your worries and ward off bad luck by wearing red underwear and red pendants.

Tigers are generally considered to be ferocious, brave, swift, and witty, so people born in the Year of the Tiger are endowed with tiger characteristics – confident, ambitious, adventurous, and powerful. 2022 is not a smooth year for Tiger people, so you need to pay special attention to your words and deeds, and don’t be too domineering to your relatives, friends, and colleagues. Reduce your investment in stocks, funds, and lotteries. Luckily, 2022 is a good year to improve your abilities and prepare for a better career or study.

In fact, according to the Five Elements of the Ten Heavenly Stem, 2022 is the Year of the Water Tiger, occurring every 60 years. Babies born in this year are upright and strong, but have a soft and kind heart and are easily moved by others. This means that the Tiger people born in 2022 have poor judgment ability, and are easily deceived by others. They are labeled arrogant, flamboyant, and passionate, while reason, kindness, and empathy are their personality traits.

The Chinese lunar new year corresponds with the Aquarius new moon, which always falls between January 20 and February 18 (the actual date varies each year).

Your Chinese horoscope is based on the Chinese zodiac, Sheng Xiao, which is based on a 12-year cycle. Every year corresponds to a different animal symbol: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.

The Chinese lunar calendar dates back as far as the 21st century B.C. While China follows the Western (solar) calendar for day-to-day activity, the Chinese lunar calendar is still widely used for festivals, horoscopes and choosing auspicious dates. Check out this site for information about Chinese lunar celebrations and ideas to celebrate no matter where you are in the world.

China calls on scientists of all nations to study lunar samples, but notes obstacle with the US

BANGKOK (AP) — China's space officials said Thursday they welcomed scientists from around the world to apply to study the lunar rock samples that the Chang'e 6 probe brought back to Earth in a historic mission , but noted there were limits to that cooperation, specifically with the United States.

Officials said at a televised news conference in Beijing meant to introduce the mission's achievements that any cooperation with the U.S. would be hinged on removing an American law that bans direct bilateral cooperation with NASA.

"The source of the obstacle in US-China aerospace cooperation is still in the Wolf Amendment,” said Bian Zhigang, vice chair of the China National Space Administration. “If the U.S. truly wants to hope to began regular aerospace cooperation, I think they should take the appropriate measures to remove the obstacle."

The Wolf Amendment was enacted in 2011 and prevents direct U.S.-Chinese bilateral cooperation except in cases where the FBI can certify that there is no national security risk to sharing information with the Chinese side in the course of work.

Still, China could cooperate with scientists of other countries. It worked with the European Space Agency, France, Italy and Pakistan in the Chang'e 6 mission.

“China welcomes scientists from all countries to apply according to the processes and share in the benefits,” said Liu Yunfeng, director of the international cooperation office of the China National Space Administration.

Meanwhile, little information about the global first achieved Tuesday was announced. Chinese officials declined to reveal how many samples they actually gathered or any preliminary findings.

“I’m afraid this matter will not be revealed until tomorrow, so I hope everyone can wait patiently for another day,” Chang'e 6 chief designer Hu Hao said at the news conference.

On Monday, Chinese scientists said that they anticipate the returned samples will include 2.5 million-year-old volcanic rock and other material that scientists hope will answer questions about geographic differences on the moon’s two sides. The mission had aimed to gather two kilograms (more than four pounds) of material.

The near side of the moon is what is seen from Earth, and the far side faces outer space. The far side is also known to have mountains and impact craters and is much more difficult to reach.

The probe's journey to the far side of the moon was historic in that it was the first time a probe had successfully taken off and brought back samples from the far side directly. Previous samples thought to be from the far side of the moon are from meteorites found on Earth.

The probe had landed in the moon’s South Pole-Aitken Basin, an impact crater created more than 4 billion years ago. The samples scientists are expecting will likely come from different layers of the basin, which will bear traces of the different geological events across its long chronology, such as when the moon was younger and had an active inside that could produce volcanic rock.

Officials did announce some future plans, with a planned Chang'e 7 probe to explore resources on the moon's South Pole. Further down the line, they have planned Tianwen-3 for around 2030 to carry out a Mars sample return mission and a Tianwen-4 Jupiter exploration mission.

National politics | here’s a look at the false claims you might hear during tonight’s presidential debate.

china travel horoscope

To hear former President Donald Trump tell it, the U.S. has fallen apart under President Joe Biden : the economy is failing, countries are emptying their prisons and mental institutions across the southern border and crime has skyrocketed.

Biden, on the other hand, has claimed he confronted an inflation rate of 9% and $5 gas prices when he took office, and boasts about his administration’s job creation without telling the full story.

There’s no comparing the volume of false and misleading claims Trump has deployed throughout his campaigns and presidency with Biden, who tends to lean more on exaggerations and embellishments rather than outright lies. But as the two men prepare to debate Thursday night, here’s a look at the facts around false and misleading claims frequently made by the two candidates.

Trump and his team like to claim his presidency gave the U.S. its “greatest economy in history.”

That’s not accurate.

First of all, the pandemic triggered a massive recession during his presidency. The government borrowed $3.1 trillion in 2020 to stabilize the economy. Trump had the ignominy of leaving the White House with fewer jobs than when he entered.

But Trump’s team likes to argue that only his pre-pandemic economic record should be judged. So, how does that compare?

— Economic growth averaged 2.67% during Trump’s first three years. That’s pretty solid. But it’s nowhere near the 4% averaged during Bill Clinton’s two terms from 1993 to 2001, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In fact, growth has been stronger so far under Biden than under Trump.

Now, Trump did have the unemployment rate get as low as 3.5% before the pandemic. But again, the labor force participation rate for people 25 to 54 — the core of the U.S. working population — was higher under Clinton. The participation rate has also been higher under Biden than Trump.

Trump also likes to talk about how low inflation was under him. Gasoline fell as low as $1.77 a gallon. But, of course, that price dip happened during pandemic lockdowns when few people were driving. The low prices were due to a global health crisis, not Trump’s policies.

Similarly, average 30-year mortgage rates dipped to 2.65% during the pandemic. Those low rates were a byproduct of Federal Reserve efforts to prop up a weak economy, rather than the sign of strength that Trump now suggests it was.

— Biden has misrepresented the economy at times, including falsely claiming that gas prices were $5 when he took office. The average price was around $2.39 a gallon the week Biden was inaugurated in January 2021, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration .

The president also has said in a few instances that he inherited high inflation. In May interviews, he said the inflation rate was 9% when he took office in January 2021. It was 1.4% at that point and increased steadily during the first 17 months of his presidency, reaching a peak of 9.1% in June 2022. But since then it has fallen and May data showed it at 3.3%.

His standard message has been that prices fell from their 2022 peaks without the mass layoffs and recession that many economists had predicted.

Biden correctly noted that inflation was a global phenomenon as the world economy reopened after the pandemic. He can claim that the U.S. economy is faring better than its peers. The World Bank recently estimated the U.S. economy would grow 2.6% this year, way better than the 0.7% for the 20 countries on the euro currency or 0.7% for Japan.

Yet Biden has at times boasted about his economic achievements without providing the full context. He has said his administration created a record 15 million jobs in its first three years. While data supports that, it’s partly because Biden inherited a pandemic economy. After staggering job losses early in the pandemic, the job recovery began under Trump, and continued under Biden when he took office.

Immigration

A mass influx of migrants coming into the U.S. illegally across the southern border has led to a number of false and misleading claims by Trump. For example, he regularly claims other countries are emptying their prisons and mental institutions to send to the U.S. There is no evidence to support that.

Trump has also argued the influx of immigrants is causing a crime surge in the U.S., although statistics actually show violent crime is on the way down.

There have been recent high-profile and heinous crimes allegedly committed by people in the country illegally. But FBI statistics do not separate out crimes by the immigration status of the assailant, nor is there any evidence of a spike in crime perpetrated by migrants, either along the U.S.-Mexico border or in cities seeing the greatest influx of migrants, like New York. Studies have found that people living in the country illegally are less likely than native-born Americans to have been arrested for violent, drug and property crimes.

The number of foreigners on the terrorist watch list has increased, but federal immigration authorities say they “are very uncommon” and a small fraction of the total number of migrants who cross the border. From October 2022 to September 2023, the U.S. Border Patrol reported seeing 169 people from the list, compared with 98 the previous year. Since October 2023, the Border Patrol has reported 80 encounters.

Trump falsely claims that crime has skyrocketed since he left office in 2021, particularly in Democratic-led big cities that he says are overrun with violence and bloodshed.

In reality, as Biden has accurately pointed out, violent crime is close to its lowest point in 50 years after a spike in 2020. That year, Trump’s last in office, was marred by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and civil unrest after a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd.

The FBI’s annual crime report for 2022, the last year for which yearly data is available, showed violent crime across the U.S. dropping to about the same level as before the pandemic — a rate of 380.7 violent crimes per 100,000 people compared to 380.8 per 100,000 people in 2019. Since 1972, only 2014 had a lower violent crime rate.

A quarterly FBI crime report released June 11 showed the downward trend continuing, with sharp drops in violent crime in January-March compared with the same period in 2023. According to the report, overall violent crime was down 15%, with murder and rape both down 26%, robbery down 18% and 13% fewer aggravated assaults.

Experts noted, however, that while violent crime almost certainly dropped in the first quarter, the report is preliminary, subject to revision, and is likely overstating the size of the drops.

Trump, meanwhile, contends the FBI’s statistics are skewed and don’t tell the real story. In his June 15 speech, Trump falsely claimed the statistics “no longer include data from 30% of the country including the biggest and most violent cities.”

While it’s true that some law enforcement agencies didn’t provide data to the FBI, a change in collection methods helped close the gap. The FBI said the 2022 report is based on data from 83.3% of all agencies covering 93.5% of the population. By contrast, the 2021 report contained data from 62.7% of agencies, representing 64.8% of Americans. For agencies that didn’t provide data, the FBI estimates the numbers based on comparably sized cities.

During his criminal trial in New York in April and May, Trump falsely claimed on social media that violent crime was “running rampant and totally out of control” in the city and said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg had let violent crime “flourish at levels never seen before.”

In reality, crime in New York is nowhere near the levels seen in the early 1990s, when the city averaged more than 2,000 murders a year. Last year, according to the NYPD, there were 391 murders. This year, the city is on pace for less than 350. Shootings have dropped 41.4% since 2021, though some crimes, like reports of rape, robbery and felony assault have trended higher.

Trump’s lie that he was the real winner of the 2020 election has permeated the Republican Party and its agenda over the past four years – and the former president has shown no interest in reversing that in his current campaign.

Trump has continued using the disproven claim as fuel to motivate his supporters and sow doubt in the upcoming election results, insisting without evidence that anything but a landslide victory in 2024 would be a sign of Democrats rigging the vote.

“The radical left Democrats rigged the presidential election in 2020, and we’re not going to let them rig the presidential election in 2024,” he said at a recent campaign rally in Wisconsin.

Biden beat Trump in 2020 with 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232 and won the popular vote by more than 7 million ballots. Legal challenges to the election were heard and roundly rejected in dozens of state and federal courts, including by judges whom Trump appointed.

And despite Trump’s allegations of foul play, members of his own administration and election administrators in his own party have maintained that election safeguards were effective and there was no evidence of widespread fraud. An exhaustive AP investigation in 2021 found fewer than 475 instances of confirmed voter fraud across six battleground states — nowhere near the magnitude required to sway the outcome of the race.

Trump and his allies have made the specter of mass numbers of noncitizens voting in the presidential election their latest rallying cry. That’s also not based in fact .

It’s a felony for non-U.S. citizens to vote in presidential elections — one that states have mechanisms to catch. Election administration experts say the number of noncitizens illegally voting in federal elections is extremely small, and audits of voter rolls in several states confirm that.

Foreign affairs are likely to loom large in the debate as both Trump and Biden look to tout their leadership while criticizing the other’s handling of world affairs. Likely topics include the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, conflicts with China, Russia and Iran, as well as the strength of U.S. alliances — complicated subjects that have long been the topic of misleading, debunked and exaggerated claims.

Trump has repeatedly misled about his own administration’s support for Ukraine in the years ahead of Russia’s 2022 invasion. Trump has said that his administration gave Ukraine the $400 million that Congress had approved ahead of schedule — even though he actually held up the funding in an effort to pressure Ukraine to announce an investigation of Democrats. That incident led to Trump’s first impeachment by the U.S. House.

He has also falsely accused his predecessors of ignoring Ukraine’s pleas for military aid. “The Obama-Biden administration only sent them meals and blankets,” he said two years ago.

Trump has repeated a debunked story that Ukraine sought to intervene in the 2016 U.S. election by hacking into Democratic Party servers and then framing Russia for the attack. Authorities have said the evidence shows that Russia was behind the attack, and that suggestions that Ukraine did it are playing into the Kremlin’s hands.

“Fictions,” Trump’s former special assistant on the National Security Council, Fiona Hill, told members of Congress when asked about Trump’s assertions. “I would ask that you please not promote politically driven falsehoods that so clearly advance Russian interests.”

Biden, for his part, has misleadingly taken credit for an international group including the U.S., Australia, Japan and India known as the Quad. Last year, Biden claimed he convinced the countries to form the organization to maintain stability in the Indian Ocean and South China Sea. But the group was actually formed in the early 2000s, and revived in 2017 under Trump.

Exact travel details have not been released, but the pandas are expected to board a flight for California “soon after the farewell ceremony,” the zoo said.

After they arrive in San Diego, the duo will be quarantined and off public viewing for several weeks, officials said.

They will be the first pandas to enter the U.S. in 21 years, the zoo said.

A pair of giant pandas will soon make the journey from China to the U.S., where they will be cared for at the San Diego Zoo as part of an ongoing conservation partnership between the two nations, officials said Monday, April 29. (Ken Bohn/San Diego Zoo via AP)

Leaders of the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria went to China this week to participate in the ceremony, which was held at the China Conservation & Research Center for Giant Pandas in the Sichuan province.

U.S. and Chinese dignitaries also attended the event, which included cultural performances, video salutations from students and a gift exchange by conservation partners, the zoo said.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo,” San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance President and CEO Paul Baribault said in a statement. “This farewell celebrates their journey and underscores a collaboration between the United States and China on vital conservation efforts.”

He said the zoo’s lengthy partnership with Chinese wildlife officials has advanced panda conservation and “we look forward to continuing our work together to ensure the survival and thriving of this iconic species.”

According to the mayor’s office, Gloria left Los Angeles for China early Tuesday. While in China, the mayor planned to attend meetings in Beijing with senior officials at the National Forestry and Grassland Administration. He is expected to return Sunday morning.

The zoo will cover the cost of the mayor’s trip, a mayoral spokesperson said.

The pandas are coming to San Diego under a conservation agreement signed in February. The zoo has been making preparations for months in anticipation of the pandas’ arrival.

The hope is the panda pair eventually produce a cub or two. The male, Yun Chuan, is the son of Zhen Zhen, a female panda born at the San Diego Zoo in 2007. Xin Bao, the female, was born at the Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued an import permit to the zoo June 6. The agency regulates the movement of animals protected under the Endangered Species Act.

In its permit application, the zoo broadly outlined its proposed conservation research, which seeks to help captive pandas as well as those in the wild.

The zoo said it remodeled the original panda habitat to provide “a larger footprint” than what was previously available. Workers also renovated a second, adjacent enclosure for panda use. The zoo said it has the capacity to house up to four animals.

Pandas first came to the San Diego Zoo in 1987 under an exhibition loan. They returned in 1996 under a conservation agreement focused on improving panda reproduction. The zoo’s program resulted in six cubs. Its scientists also helped develop techniques credited with keeping young pandas alive, including developing panda milk formula.

The zoo bade farewell to its pandas in 2019.

China owns and leases all giant pandas in U.S. zoos and for decades has lent out the animals as a sign of friendship or to strengthen national ties, a practice known as “panda diplomacy.”

After the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., sent back its three pandas in November, the only pandas remaining in the U.S. were at Zoo Atlanta in Georgia.

Hopes for a new panda loan took shape late last year after Chinese President Xi Jinping told San Francisco business leaders in November that California would get pandas in 2024 — and mentioned San Diego by name.

Chinese wildlife officials have since signed panda-loan agreements with the National Zoo and the San Francisco Zoo.

San Diego will pay $1 million a year for the pandas, with the money earmarked to support Chinese panda conservation efforts.

Breaking news, china’s lunar probe returns to earth with first-ever rock samples from ‘dark side’ of moon.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

China’s Chang’e-6 lunar probe has successfully returned to earth with the first rock and soil samples ever collected from the far side of the moon.

The re-entry capsule containing the samples — believed to be up to 2.5 million years old — landed in the country’s Inner Mongolia region on Tuesday in a major victory for the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

“I now declare that the Chang’e 6 Lunar Exploration Mission achieved complete success,” Zhang Kejian, Director of the China National Space Administration, said in a televised news conference after the landing.

Chinese scientists hope they will be able to learn about the geographic differences between the two sides of the moon and offer some insight into its ancient history.

The near-side faces Earth and the far-side faces outer space. While the moon does spin on its own axis, the moon rotates at the same rate as its orbital motion, meaning the same side always faces the Earth.

The far side of the moon, whose surface has never been explored, is known to have large mountains and deep craters compared to the relative flatness of the near-side.

The unmanned probe, launched on May 3, landed on the moon’s South Pole-Aitken Basin — an impact crater formed more than 4 billion years ago when Earth was still in its infancy. It remained in space for 53 days.

The samples scientists are expecting will likely come from different layers of the basin, which will bear traces of the different geological events across its long cosmic history, such as when the moon was younger and had an active core that produced volcanic rock.

The samples “are expected to answer one of the most fundamental scientific questions in lunar science research: what geologic activity is responsible for the differences between the two sides?” said Zongyu Yue, a geologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in a statement issued in the Innovation Monday, a journal published in partnership with the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

This China National Space Administration (CNSA) handout image released by Xinhua News Agency, shows the lander-ascender combination of Chang'e-6 probe taken by a mini rover after it landed on the moon surface, June 4, 2024.

China is the first country to land on the moon’s far side, with previous US and Soviet missions all landing on the near-side.

The moon program is part of a growing rivalry with the US — still the leader in space exploration — and other nations, including Japan and India. 

China’s leader Xi Jinping congratulated the Chang’e team, saying the mission was a “landmark achievement in our country’s efforts at becoming a space and technological power.”

China has put its own space station in orbit and regularly sends crews there.In recent years, China has sent multiple successful missions to the moon, collecting samples from the moon’s near side with the Chang’e 5 probe.

“This is a global first in the sense that it’s the first time anyone has been able to take off from the far side of the moon and bring back samples,” Richard de Grijs, a professor of astrophysics at Macquarie University in Australia, told the Associated Press.

China makes history as 1st country to retrieve samples from Moon’s far side

China's unmanned Chang'e-6 lunar mission successfully landed in Inner Mongolia on Tuesday, bringing home the world’s first-ever samples from the far side of the Moon, a region previously unexplored by sample return missions.

Unlocking space secrets: The Chang'e-6 probe collected lunar soil from the South Pole-Aitken Basin, a massive crater on the Moon's far side. Scientists believe these samples could hold crucial clues about the formation of the Moon, Earth and the solar system. Chinese and international scientists will be conducting analysis of the samples in Beijing.

A leap in the space race: In its aim to position itself as a major space power , China plans to launch Chang'e-7 to the lunar south pole in 2026, followed by Chang'e-8 in 2028 to focus on resource utilization for a planned lunar research station. China plans to put astronauts on the Moon by 2030.
