Saengkham then fought back again to cut the deficit to 9-6.\n\nIn the 16th frame, Selby regained his form with precise shot-making and eventually sealed a 10-6 victory to win the match and secure the title.\n\n\"Today's match was very important to my career. I also learned a lot from the experience. I will continue to work hard in training and hope to become a champion in the future,\" Saengkham said after the match.\n\n\"I am very happy to win this title in China.

"title": "China's development experience wins growing favorability, says S. African journalist",
"body": "JOHANNESBURG, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- The growing favorability toward China in many parts of the world can be partly understood through the human dimension of its development experience, said Michael Mbewe, a journalist at Channel Africa International of the South African Broadcasting Corporation.\n\nMbewe, who recently took part in an African mainstream media study tour in China, told Xinhua in a recent written interview that his firsthand experience during the visit gave him a different perspective on China's development, particularly its efforts to reduce poverty and improve living standards in rural communities.\n\nMbewe said China's targeted poverty alleviation experience was particularly instructive because it focused on identifying the specific circumstances of different people and communities and tailoring interventions accordingly.\n\n\"What stood out to me was that poverty reduction was not simply about providing financial assistance. It involved connecting people to economic opportunities, improving infrastructure, strengthening education and skills, supporting agriculture and creating avenues for communities to participate more effectively in the economy,\" the journalist said.\n\nNoting that one of the strongest impressions from the tour was seeing development extend beyond China's major urban centers into rural communities, he said that a road that connects a previously isolated community to a market, reliable electricity that allows a business to operate, internet connectivity that gives young people access to information and opportunities, and vocational training that enables someone to find employment can have a profound effect on how people perceive development.\n\n\"Development generates goodwill when ordinary people can see and feel the impact in their own lives,\" he said.\n\nHaving witnessed the agricultural modernization, improved infrastructure and efforts to develop industries around local economic strengths during his visit, Mbewe said the experience helped him understand why China's development story resonates with many developing countries, particularly in Africa.\n\n\"When African audiences see examples of how China has approached some of these challenges, there is naturally interest in understanding what lessons might be relevant to their own circumstances,\" he said.\n\nNoting that African countries have different histories, political systems, economies, cultures and social realities, Mbewe said they could draw lessons from broader principles, including long-term planning, investment in infrastructure and human capital, agricultural value addition, technological innovation, vocational training and efforts to connect rural communities to wider markets.\n\n\"Development is ultimately about people. A policy can sound impressive on paper, but its real significance is determined by whether it improves people's lives,\" he said.\n\nMbewe said this perspective had shaped his understanding of the growing international goodwill toward China.\n\nIn his view, such goodwill cannot be attributed solely to diplomacy or economic engagement, but also reflects how people respond to tangible development outcomes and opportunities.\n\nChina's journey provides examples of what sustained investment, planning, infrastructure development, human-capital development and economic opportunity can achieve, Mbewe said.\n\n\"Ultimately, I believe goodwill is strongest when cooperation translates into real improvements in people's lives,\" he said. \"That, for me, is one of the most important lessons from witnessing China's development firsthand.\"",

"body": "(Photo credit: Brad Rempel-Imagn Images)\n\nEight-time Pro Bowl linebacker Von Miller is set to play his 15th NFL season back in his home state after signing with the Dallas Cowboys, ESPN reported on Sunday evening.\n\nMiller confirmed the news on his Instagram account, posting a picture of himself in a Cowboys uniform with the caption, 'Hereee Weee Gooo @dallascowboys LFG!!!'\n\nMiller is a native of Texas who played collegiately at Texas A&M. He elected free agency in March after one season with the Washington Commanders. He's now set to play for his third team in as many seasons.\n\nThe 37-year-old edge rusher ranks first among active players in career sacks (138.5), tied for ninth in NFL history. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft has had at least six sacks in all but two of his seasons and has earned eight All-Pro honors, but hasn't done so or made a Pro Bowl since 2019.\n\nThe two-time Super Bowl champion and Super Bowl 50 MVP has also amassed 607 tackles, 271 quarterback hits, 177 tackles for loss, 27 forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries and two interceptions over 203 games (164 starts) for the Denver Broncos (2011-2021), Los Angeles Rams (2021), Buffalo Bills (2022-24) and Commanders.\n\nHe joins a Cowboys team looking to snap a two-year playoff drought and a defense that tied for 22nd in the NFL in sacks in 2025 (35) after shipping Micah Parsons off to Green Bay last August.",

"body": "(Photo credit: D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images)\n\nAdael Amador and Brett Sullivan, the bottom two hitters in the Colorado batting order, smacked three-run home runs and the visiting Rockies completed a season-series win over the San Francisco Giants with a 13-7 victory Sunday afternoon.\n\nThe Rockies took advantage of 10 walks to take two of three in the final meetings of the year over the Giants, completing the season series with a 7-6 edge. Colorado hadn't won a season series over its National League West rival since 2020.\n\nAmador's homer, his first of the season and second of his career, came as part of a four-run second inning that gave the Rockies a 4-1 lead.\n\nThe Giants countered with four runs of their own in the bottom of the second, including a three-run homer from Rafael Devers, his 25th, to go on top 5-4. They then added single tallies in the third and fifth to take a 7-6 lead into the sixth.\n\nBut the Rockies did the rest of the game's scoring, beginning with a four-run sixth that included four walks, a hit batsman, a wild pitch and a two-run single by Mickey Moniak.\n\nSullivan's homer, his seventh of the season, came in the seventh and doubled what had been a three-run lead.\n\nNeither starting pitcher was effective, but both avoided a loss.\n\nThe Rockies' Gabriel Hughes was pulled after four innings, having allowed seven runs and eight hits. He walked one and struck out two.\n\nHe was followed to the mound by four relievers who combined for five innings of shutout ball, allowing just three hits. Nick Frasso (1-1), who pitched a scoreless fifth, was credited with his first career win.\n\nThe Giants' Blade Tidwell went 4 1/3 innings, allowing six runs on three hits and five walks. He struck out one.\n\nSam Hentges (1-5), who allowed two of Colorado's four runs in its go-ahead sixth inning, took the loss.\n\nAmador and Jordan Beck scored three runs apiece, Sullivan and Jake McCarthy scored twice and Moniak joined Amador and Sullivan with three RBIs apiece for the Rockies, who totaled just nine hits.\n\nDevers added a double to his homer and scored twice for the Giants, who lost 2-1 series to the Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros and Rockies during a nine-game homestand. Drew Cavanaugh added a pair of singles for San Francisco, which out-hit the visitors 11-9.",

"title": "Return of delicate aquatic plant signals Chinese lake's revival",
"body": "KUNMING, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- Under the summer sun, Erhai Lake in southwest China's Yunnan Province glistens thanks to its clear blue water dotted with floating white blossoms. Tourists stroll and cycle around the spot, where limpid waters, lush mountains and blooming flowers combine in weaving a picturesque scene.\n\nThe delicate blossom seen floating there is Ottelia acuminata, an aquatic plant endemic to China, which is known to have extremely strict water quality requirements. It demands high water transparency, cleanliness and calcium content, and survives only in unpolluted waters, serving as a reliable natural indicator of aquatic ecological health.\n\nIts large-scale revival vividly testifies to Erhai Lake's remarkable ecological restoration achievements.\n\nChina's Ecological and Environmental Code, enacted on Saturday, stipulates nationwide protection and restoration of river and lake ecosystems, providing solid legal support for systematic water ecological governance across the country.\n\nAs China advances its Beautiful China initiative, this code is expected to strengthen rule-of-law guarantees for ecological protection and provide fresh impetus for the country's green and low-carbon transition.\n\nIn the early 1990s, agricultural pollution worsened Erhai Lake's water quality, causing frequent blue-green algae outbreaks. A severe algae bloom hit the lake in 1996, leaving the water turbid and smelly. As the environment degraded, Ottelia acuminata nearly disappeared from the lake.\n\nThanks to years of targeted ecological protection and restoration efforts, the lake's water quality has improved steadily, maintaining an excellent Grade II standard from January to June 2026, and creating favorable conditions for the return of Ottelia acuminata.\n\nOfficial data show that the plant's coverage on Erhai Lake has surged from 90,000 square meters in 2021 to 950,000 square meters in 2026, marking a remarkable ecological recovery.\n\nThe improved water environment has also brought tangible economic benefits, turning the lake's ecological advantages into a sustainable industry. From lake ecology to farm cultivation and consumer products, Ottelia acuminata's dual ecological and economic value has been fully realized.\n\nIn 2018, environmental worker Zhong Lan noticed the edible plant's great potential for water purification and industrial development. With support from local authorities and Shanghai Jiao Tong University in eastern China, she started a company and built a professional research base in 2024, developing standardized planting techniques that enable high-yield, repeated harvests and offering jobs for local villagers.\n\nVillager Li Xinyuan, who quit Ottelia acuminata cultivation years ago due to low profits, resumed planting in 2023 and earns a stable monthly salary of 4,500 yuan (about 663 U.S. dollars) at the base.\n\nHis fellow villager Du Hongquan earned over 100,000 yuan last year from growing the plant and has more than doubled his planting area this year. \"The base takes full charge of sales, so we can plant without any worries,\" Du said.\n\nEryuan County, the source of Erhai Lake, now has more than 200 hectares of Ottelia acuminata plantation area, creating numerous jobs yearly. The plant has been developed into a diverse range of products like tea, plant-based coffee and cookies.\n\n\"I used to think it was exclusive to Yunnan, but I can try it elsewhere too,\" said a tourist surnamed Ai after tasting the plant at a hotpot restaurant in Hangzhou, east China's Zhejiang Province.\n\nThe beautiful lakeside scenery at Erhai has also boosted local tourism. In 2025, Dali received over 120 million tourist visits, attracting visitors to enjoy lake views and experience local Bai ethnic culture, with 407,000 long-term visitors.\n\nLast month, the State Council issued a plan for building a Beautiful China during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), setting out the overall requirements, targets, key tasks and major projects for comprehensively advancing this initiative.\n\nAccording to the plan, China will achieve overall improvement in ecological and environmental quality and make significant progress toward building a Beautiful China by 2030, with green production and lifestyles largely established and the carbon peaking target reached on schedule.",
