The Nansha Immigration Inspection processes the 144-hour visa-free transit procedures for two eligible foreign passengers. According to the most recent statistics released by the National Immigration Administration on Aug 19, the number of foreign nationals entering the country through ports from January to July this year reached 17.25 million, marking a significant year-on-year increase of 129.9 percent. The influx of foreign tourists visiting China during this period is anticipated to stimulate consumption exceeding 100 billion yuan ($14 billion). According to Dai Bin, director of the China Tourism Academy, the significant increase in foreign tourists visiting China is primarily attributed to visa facilitation measures such as the 144-hour transit visa-free policy, unilateral visa exemptions, and mutual visa exemptions. Furthermore, the ease of foreign card payments in China, the efficient operation of domestic tourism routes, projects, and enterprises, and comprehensive promotional efforts have also influenced the increase in foreign tourist numbers. A fundamental reason for the surge in foreign tourist arrivals is the country's growing strength, which entices more foreigners to experience the evolving landscape of China. Hence, the significant growth in foreign tourist arrivals is the collective outcome of multiple contributing factors. Based on the statistical data, in recent years, shopping has emerged as the primary…Original link

At the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Legal Forum at the end of August, the first standard for arbitration secretaries in China, known as the "Guangzhou Standard", will be officially launched. Arbitration secretaries are individuals appointed by arbitration institutions to assist with case management and service tasks. In 2022, arbitration secretaries were officially included in the Occupational Classification System of the People's Republic of China. The "Guangzhou Standard" has already been recognized and signed by the Asia Pacific Centre for Arbitration & Mediation (Hong Kong), the World Trade Center Macao Arbitration Center, as well as arbitration institutions in Zhuhai, Huizhou, Nanjing, Ningbo, Harbin, and Maoming, making it the world's first cross-institutional standard for arbitration secretaries.

The aerial view of the Haizhu Wetland. After years of ecological protection and restoration, Haizhu Wetland now features clear waters and abundant birds with more and more rare wild birds camping here. Recently, researchers discovered two new bird species—the rose-ringed parakeet and the collared finchbill. This brings the total bird species recorded at Haizhu Wetland to 200. The rose-ringed parakeet is notably beautiful and has the intelligence level of a four-year-old human. The rose-ringed parakeet often tries to mimic human sounds in its environment and can learn vocabulary by listening to music. It is listed as a second-level protected species in the List of National Key Protected Wild Animals. Historically, its distribution was broad, living in tropical and subtropical regions, with Guangzhou being the northernmost location. The rose-ringed parakeet found in South China was introduced from outside around 1900 and gradually established a sizable wild population. It was once widely distributed in the south of the Pearl River in Guangdong, and was commonly seen flying over the Pearl River Delta. However, there have been no records in the wild in Guangzhou since 1980. The rich habitat of Duoji fruit forests in Haizhu Wetland, with its diverse resources, provides ample food…
