Together, they aim to form an international port cluster, with Tianjin as the hub. In recent years, Tianjin Port has been a key point in North China for ocean transportation.

TIANJIN/BEIJING - Even at the age of 100, Yang Enze, one of the founders of China's optical fiber cable communications system, has not stopped researching and teaching as a professor at Tianjin University. Besides his pioneering achievements as the chief engineer of China's first optical communications project for practical use in the 1970s, Yang is also known as a survivor and witness of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45).

SHANGHAI: China should accelerate development of nuclear power to help meet Beijing's pledges to bring greenhouse gas emissions to a peak before 2030 and become "carbon neutral" by 2060, according to industry delegates at the annual session of parliament. China said in its 2021-2025 five-year plan released on Friday that it would raise total nuclear capacity to 70 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2025. Capacity reached 51 GW at the end of last year, falling short of its 58 GW target. But Luo Qi, an expert with China's Atomic Energy Research Institute and member of parliament's advisory second chamber, warned that current targets did not match the country's climate ambitions, and construction should be stepped up. "By 2035, nuclear plants in operation should reach around 180 gigawatts, amounting to 5% of total capacity," he said in a proposal published by the state-owned China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC). Gu Jun, CNNC's president and member of the National … [Read more...] about China should speed nuclear development to meet carbon goals – legislators
