UNITED NATIONS Nike VaporMax Flyknit 2.0 Mens , Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- As a landmark complex in the New York City, the United Nations headquarters has drawn approximately a million visitors from all over the world every year.
For these visitors, the UN prepares guided tours for them to learn about the world body. Huichun Li, who comes from China's eastern coastal province of Jiangsu, is one of the tour guides at the UN, working in both Mandarin and English.
When asked to pick a symbolic view of the UN, the 30-year-old man chose national flags of the 193 UN member states flapping in the wind along the 1st Avenue of New York.
"Their flags are listed from 48th street to 42nd street Nike VaporMax Country Pack Mens , from A to Z. A represents Afghanistan, and Z is Zimbabwe," he introduced.
"As for the national flag of China, you can find it somewhere near the 46th street," he added.
Established at the end of the World War II, the UN carries the common will of peace-loving countries to "save succeeding generations from the scourge of war."
The UN Charter, enshrining purposes and principles of the organization Cheap Nike VaporMax Laceless Mens , was signed on June 26, 1945 by representatives from 50 war-weary countries. China was the first country to sign the Charter.
"I have a strong belief in this organization," Li said. "I think there is no other place in the world that can gather so many countries together to find solutions to disputes or problems."
It is part of Li's job to introduce to visitors from all over the world the history of the UN, and its work on disarmament, peacekeeping, and the Millennium Development Goals, etc.
Every day Nike VaporMax Laceless Mens Sale , he tours some 60 visitors inside the UN headquarters complex, showing them iconic spots, including the General Assembly Hall, the chamber of the Security Council, and the chamber of Trusteeship Council.
"For Chinese visitors, I always mention a little bit more about China," Li said.
Apart from some well-known facts Nike VaporMax Laceless Mens , such as China gained its seat as one of the five permanent members due to its contribution to the victory of the World War II, Li also prepares additional details to feed his audience.
When he introduces the not widely known Trusteeship Council tasked with supervising the administration of trust territories, he said the council's members were the five permanent members of the Security Council.
That "means China also played a role in there in helping those non-self-governing territories to gain independence through the procedure," he said.
Although Li got his UN job only two months ago, he is quite familiar with elements that related to his own nationality at his workplace. Besides those included in the guided tour, there are also presents from China that have been placed somewhere else at the UN, he said.
"There is a bronze tripod placed in the garden of the UN ... and a tapestry depicting China's Great Wall hanging in the delegates' north lounge Cheap Nike VaporMax Triple Black Mens ," he listed.
The Centenary Tripod, designed by craftsmen in Shanghai, was presented to the UN by China in 1995 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations. It is 2.1 meters high and weighs 1.5 tons.
Cast in bronze, the tripod is one of the utensils that reflect Chinese civilization. It was considered a sacrificial vessel of the ancient times and represented stability, tranquility and peace, according to Li.
"When I came to the UN for the first time as a visitor, the tripod caught my attention immediately Nike VaporMax Triple Black Mens Sale ," he recalled.
"And I know that the Great Wall tapestry was a hand-made gift by women workers in Tianjin, a metropolis in northern China," he added.
The tapestry depicts the majestic Great Wall running for miles and miles over mountains and lush forestry shown in the picture symbolizes the prosperity and vitality of the country. It measures 10 meters by five meters, according to Li.
He said working with colleagues from all over the world at a place of so much diversity is very interesting.
"This year is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the UN and also the beginning of my career here, I feel very honored to be one part of the UN," he said.
"As a Chinese, I envision the UN as a very collaborative organization Nike VaporMax Triple Black Mens ," he said. "As long as we have the same faith and passion, this will be a better place for everyone."
SYDNEY, July 16 (Xinhua) -- China's vision for building massive infrastructure and a variety of development projects along the New Silk Road will be one of the biggest international projects in modern history, Australian experts have said.
The grand plan aims to reinvigorate one of the world's most ancient trade routes linking Asia to Europe.
The new one will cover more than 8,000 miles and create an economic zone extending more than one third the circumference of the earth.
But, an Australian academic specializing in China's economy said recently that there has been a lack of easily accessible information about the big picture for the New Silk Road, also known as the Belt and Road Initiative.
However Nike Air VaporMax 2.0 Mens Sale , with Xinhua's formal launch of a new line of information products to help global investors from better partnerships along the Belt and Road Initiative on Thursday, that is about to change.
The package is internet-based and currently available in Chinese and English. It includes four major products and services - - the Silk Road Database, Xinhua Credit Reports, Consulting & Thintank Services and an interactive and business match-making Xinhua Silk Road IM System.
University of Technology Sydney professor James Laurenceson, deputy director of the Australia China Relations Institute, welcomed the move by Xinhua News Agency which has been China's most effective communicator around the world since 1931.
"I think it's important for a couple of reasons," he told Xinhua one day before the lauch of the information products.
