Xinjiang-to-Chongqing Power Transmission Project:

China’s Answer to a “Power Silk Road”

As the intelligent era advances, computing power has become a key driver of industrial development. Behind computing power, however, lies the need for a stable and sufficient electricity supply. Xinjiang is rich in wind and solar resources, while Chongqing has a strong manufacturing base and growing demand for energy. The 2,260-kilometer Xinjiang-to-Chongqing power transmission project connects the strengths of the two regions by delivering clean energy to the mountain city. More than just a power transmission line, this “Power Silk Road”explores a new model integrating energy, industries, and computing power development. How does it overcome geographical challenges and support new opportunities in western China? Let’s take a closer look.

China-Europe Cooperation Should Move from Logistics to Industries

As global industrial chains continue to evolve, China and Europe are reshaping their cooperation. Beyond logistics and trade connections, cooperation is increasingly expanding toward industrial collaboration, green transformation, and innovation. Péter Szitás, Deputy Director of Research at the Danube Institute in Hungary, shared his perspectives on the future of China-Europe cooperation in an exclusive interview. He believes that future China-EU cooperation requires not only stronger logistics ties, but also further advancement of industrial cooperation and value chain integration.

Yucun: A Village’s Green Transformation Journey

From “selling stones” to “selling scenery”, the story of Yucun Village in Zhejiang Province shows how a rural community can reinvent itself through a green transition. Two decades ago, Yucun’s economy relied heavily on mining. But after rethinking its path forward, the village shut down the mines, restored the landscape, turned old quarries into scenic areas, and transformed abandoned factories into creative modern spaces. Today, green ecology has become Yucun’s new competitive edge. This small village along the Yangtze River is exploring a model of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature through ecological conservation, rural tourism and industrial integration.
