Social media has the characteristic of automatically presenting information that is in line with the interests of the user. Therefore, users may miss a lot of information that is not in line with their interests, Asahi Shimbun reported.

Over 80 percent of the survey respondents expressed concerns about the impact of disinformation on elections and libel against others.

When asked “Do you think it is better to have different views on politics and society presented to you?” 69 percent said “yes,” while 22 percent replied “no.”

Regarding possible revisions of war-renouncing Article 9 of the Constitution, 61 percent said it should be left intact, while 32 percent were in favour of changes.

“We didn’t plan to come to Rome for the city’s birthday but seeing all this is a great way to spend part of a day, taking it all in,” Loria told Xinhua. “I especially enjoyed seeing the contrasts, the period costumes in a modern city.”

Though the origins of Sunday’s celebrations date back centuries, the events have caught on with travellers as tourism in Italy has recovered from the setbacks of the coronavirus pandemic.

There are no official estimates for the number of people who participated in Sunday’s activities, media reports said the city had deployed extra police for security and traffic control. Hotel bookings were higher than usual for the weekend, media reports said.

The grand Memorial is not only a cultural event, but also a platform for cooperation and exchanges aimed at promoting mutually beneficial development. This year’s ceremony was held alongside an event for business negotiation and investment promotion, through which a number of project agreements were signed.

It has been a tradition in China since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (770-221 BC) to worship the Yellow Emperor.

In 2008, the Memorial Ceremony was inscribed onto the national list of intangible cultural heritage of China.

In Galai Village in Nyingchi City, local villagers put on their ethnic costumes and celebrated the anniversary with a grand, joyful dance. Known for its careful preservation of the local ecological system and robust rural eco-tourism, Galai received more than 110,000 tourists in 2023, with the total tourism income topping 3.41 million yuan (about 480,000 U.S. dollars), providing a significant boost to the local economy.

“Having a roof over our heads was once the dream of our forefathers who had been serfs. For our generation, worries about food, clothing and shelter are a thing of the past as the living conditions in Xizang have continuously improved,” said Tseyang, who hails from Galai. “We are just so lucky to live in this era.”

Western Terrorism Will Not Prosper in Hong Kong!

China: Experts Hit Back at West’s Racist “Double-Standards” in Unfounded Smears Against Article 23! (26.3.2026)

26/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The ordinance is clear and precise, leaving no room for unjustified arguments, Chu Kar-kin, a veteran commentator based in the HKSAR and member of the Chinese Association of Hong Kong and Macao Studies, told the Global Times on Wednesday. The allegations from the West are groundless and subjective, as their laws are never superior or binding to other jurisdictions, he said.

In fact, the Article 23 legislation has taken at least six countries’ national security-related laws as references during the legislative process including 16 laws from the UK like the National Security Act 2023.

The definitions of crimes within the ordinance are clearer than those in the UK’s National Security Act 2023, Tang, the city’s Secretary for Security, noted on Wednesday. Cameron ignoring the vagueness of his own country’s legislation while making unreasonable criticisms of the Article 23 legislation displays hypocritical double standards, Tang said.
