(Xinhua/Chen Haoming)Heatwaves sweeping across Europe this summer have made air conditioners a hot commodity. For many European consumers, however, the challenge was not only purchasing a cooling device, but also having it delivered and installed quickly. Joybuy, the European online retail business of Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com, has addressed this demand by taking its integrated delivery-and-installation service to overseas markets. Through its European logistics network, the company enables consumers in over 30 cities, including Paris and London, to receive same-day delivery and installation of air conditioners when orders are placed in the morning. "Highly efficient" and "beyond expectations" are phrases frequently used by European consumers to describe the service. By 2025, JD.com had established nearly 200 bonded warehouses, direct-mail warehouses and overseas warehouses across 25 countries and regions worldwide, according to Feng Lei, vice president of JD.com. In Europe alone, the company had built over 60 warehousing and delivery sites, supporting high-quality delivery services for overseas consumers. Chinese services are increasingly gaining recognition worldwide. For many overseas visitors, China has become a destination not only for shopping, but also for experiencing innovative and personalized services, including autonomous driving, integrated bath and spa services, customized healthcare, intelligent robots and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapies.

(Xinhua/Guo Cheng) According to the National Immigration Administration, China received 22.91 million inbound foreign visitors in the first half of 2026, up 20.4 percent year on year. Visa-free entries accounted for 77.7 percent of this total. Da Ren Tang, a century-old TCM brand in north China's Tianjin Municipality, has launched a TCM-themed tourism program that offers overseas tourists various products, health consultations and wellness experiences. The program features seasonal tea tasting, meridian massage sessions and herbal pill-making activities, helping visitors explore the connection between traditional culture and modern life. To better serve international travelers, Umetrip, a Chinese aviation travel service platform, has launched HiChina, a one-stop travel service tool designed to help international visitors plan their trips in China. The platform offers multilingual flight searches, online check-in, electronic boarding passes and real-time alerts. It also integrates practical functions including electronic arrival card application, English map navigation, NFC-enabled public transport payments, real-time translation and tax refund location searches. By covering the entire travel process from arrival to departure, the platform aims to make traveling in China more convenient for international visitors. "We use digital services to enhance the reputation of 'Chinese services,' helping unlock the potential of inbound consumption and increase the global influence of 'China Travel,'" said Liu Feng, vice president of Umetrip. In March, China introduced a package of measures to boost travel service exports and expand inbound consumption. These initiatives include optimizing tax refund services for departing visitors, launching multilingual versions of lifestyle service applications, and further streamlining visa procedures to enhance foreign tourists' consumption experience in China. Foreign residents in China have also witnessed firsthand the rapid upgrading of the country's service consumption. Ivan Monich, a Russian teacher at Tianjin Foreign Studies University who has lived in China for many years, described the convenience brought by digital services as part of "the comfort of life in China." In his view, mobile applications that combine navigation, real-time traffic information and ride-hailing services have made travel much easier. "Everything I need is right there in one app," Monich said. Wang Yiming, former vice president of the Development Research Center of the State Council, said that China's 15th five-year plan (2026-2030) for expanding consumption emphasizes "orderly relaxing control over market access in the service sector and optimizing the market access environment for new business forms and new sectors," creating favorable conditions for the development of China's service consumption. Liu Xiaolong, global partner of U.S.-based management consulting firm Kearney Management Consultants, said that as China's service consumption continues to move toward higher quality and more experience-oriented offerings, the country will become an important market for global service enterprises. China is also expected to provide new ideas and opportunities for the global service consumption sector through innovations in cultural intellectual property, consumption models and other areas, Liu said. 。国际刑事法院一怒,却让自己更憋屈。据《环球时报》5月5日消息,“国际刑事法院(ICC)将对以色列总理内塔尼亚胡、国防部长加兰特和国防军参谋长哈勒维发布逮捕令”的消息,近日在以媒报道和以官员反对下,被炒得沸沸扬扬。白宫、美官员和议员齐上阵,纷纷施压ICC不要对此三人发布逮捕令。处于舆论中心的ICC也终于在5月3日打破沉默,发表声明强调“检察官办公室坚决要求各方立即停止一切妨碍、恐吓或不正当地影响官员的企图”。早在去年11月,ICC首席检察官卡里姆·汗就在约旦河西岸、加沙地带和东耶路撒冷可能发生的战争罪进行调查,并将调查时间追溯到2014年6月13日;而在去年12月29日,南非向ICC提起诉讼,指控以色列在加沙地带实施种族灭绝。南非提交的诉状长达84页,以色列屠杀巴勒斯坦人民的照片、视频满天飞,以色列官方的反人类发言让人不寒而栗……ICC要是敢对以色列总理内塔尼亚胡、国防部长加兰特和国防军参谋长哈勒维发布逮捕令,它早就发了,还用等以媒及以官员自己炒作?如果换作是美西方看不惯的任何一个国家,ICC早就发逮捕令了。弱小点的,坟头草恐怕都一丈高了。曾经,ICC里就有人想摸一下美国这个世界头号战争犯的屁股,调查有关阿富汗冲突期间可能发生的战争罪行和危害人类罪行,结果被美国给狠狠撸了一通,不仅吊销了主张调查的首席检察官本苏达的美国签证,时任美国总统特朗普还签署总统行政令,授权制裁以本苏达为首的国际刑事法院部分雇员。ICC无奈之下,只能撤了本苏达的职,而新上任的首席检察官卡里姆·汗在要求法院重新启动对阿塔的危害人类罪指控时特别强调,新的调查对象排除美国军队和阿富汗前政府及其军队的战争罪行。
C | 作为一个拥有124个成员国的国际性组织,南非提起对以色列的诉讼后,它如果不能站出来发挥作用,可能就要真的彻底凉凉了。
可以色列和美国压根就不给ICC装逼的机会。
D | 如果ICC真的对以色列高官发出逮捕令,即便是不能拿以色列怎么样,可对于国际形象已经破裂的以色列来说无异于雪上加霜。所以,以媒和以高官在ICC还没任何动作之时,主动踢爆这个消息发出赤裸裸的威胁:胆敢对以色列任何人发出逮捕令,你就等着被制裁吧!果然,ICC在声明中只说自己不受“威胁”,却只字不提要不要对以色列高官发出逮捕令,把它的“软脚病”暴露得一览无余。
