      Chinese athletes reflect on Paris Olympics at China House

      As the Paris Olympics draw to a close, Chinese athletes who have completed their competitive endeavors are gathering at the China House to share their tales of triumph and challenge from the prestigious event and to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Chinese Olympic culture.

      Among them are illustrious weightlifters Li Fabin, Hou Zhihui, and Luo Shifang, who have clinched gold medals in the ongoing weightlifting competitions at the Paris Olympics.

      These champions have taken a moment to delve into the history of China's Olympic journey while offering their unwavering support to those who are still competing for medals.

      "I hope [Chinese athletes] continue to strive. In the Olympic arena, there are indeed uncertainties and a great deal of randomness at times, but we must hold onto one belief firmly, that is to fight for the country, embody the Olympic spirit, love competition, dare to win, and will win," said Li Fabin, Chinese weightlifter and two-time Olympic gold medalist.

      The China House, a hub of cultural exchange and relaxation established by the Chinese Olympic Committee in Paris, has welcomed not only weightlifters but also swimmers and gymnasts who have completed their respective events. There athletes can find solace in the familiarity of their cultural heritage and share their post-competition narratives with the wider community.

      Zou Jingyuan, a celebrated gymnast who secured a gold medal in the parallel bars event, recounted his journey of resilience and triumph amidst injury setbacks.

      "This is my second time participating in the Olympics and I encountered many challenges due to injuries, but what I wanted most was to defend my title in the parallel bars event. With faith, I fought for glory and successfully secured the parallel bars Olympic championship this time. I feel especially happy," said Zou, Chinese artistic gymnast and two-time Olympic gold medalist.

      Trump imposes "reciprocal tariffs" amid widespread opposition

      Amid widespread opposition, U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed two executive orders on the so-called "reciprocal tariffs," imposing a 10-percent "minimum baseline tariff" and higher rates on certain trading partners.

      Trump announced these tariffs in a speech in the White House Rose Garden, during which he also said a 25-percent tariff on cars and car parts imported into the U.S. will take effect on Thursday.

      Many trading partners of the U.S. have previously expressed their opposition, saying that they will take countermeasures in response.

      On Wednesday, President of the European Council Antonio Costa said the European Union must react in a "firm but smart manner" to the reciprocal tariffs.

      "This is truly a major economic mistake for the United States and also for Europe and the entire world," Costa said.

      Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said the introduction of new U.S. tariffs would have heavy repercussions for Italian producers, adding that she did not rule out "adequate responses" to defend Italian products.

      While stating that the UK is engaging in constructive talks to reach a broader economic prosperity deal with the U.S., British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also said that the country is prepared for all possible scenarios and will not rule out any possibilities
