CGTN published an article on Chinese President Xi Jinping’s speech at Session I of the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi. The article highlights how, after 20 years of fruitful cooperation, BRICS countries have ushered in a new stage of high-quality development for greater cooperation and underscores the need for the group to strive to be a pioneer of the times, steer the international order toward greater justice and equity, and work together to build a community with a shared future for humanity.

In February this year, an 82.15-km Regional Rapid Transit System in India, also known as the Namo Bharat line, went fully operational, connecting the National Capital Territory of Delhi with the cities of Ghaziabad and Meerut in Uttar Pradesh. Journey time between Delhi and Meerut during peak hours has been slashed from four hours by driving in the past to roughly one by rail today.

Financed in part by the New Development Bank (NDB), a flagship BRICS initiative, the project is more than a transport upgrade – it is a tangible example of how greater BRICS cooperation can translate financial resources into development outcomes.

Since its inception in 2006, BRICS has grown to 11 members and 10 partner countries, turning diversity into a source of cooperation and development momentum.

“Over the past two decades, the BRICS cooperation mechanism has continued to grow and expand and has demonstrated remarkable vitality and dynamism,” Chinese President Xi Jinping said while addressing Session I of the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi on Saturday.

He called on BRICS countries to stand on the right side of history, strive to be a pioneer of the times, steer the international order toward greater justice and equity, and work together to build a community with a shared future for humanity.

High-quality development of greater BRICS cooperation

Over the past 20 years, BRICS members and partner countries have increasingly leveraged their respective strengths through open and mutually beneficial cooperation. What began as an economic cooperation mechanism has developed into a robust platform covering trade, investment, finance, innovation, energy, agriculture and people-to-people exchanges.

For many developing economies, access to affordable, long-term funding remains critical to turning development ambitions into reality. The NDB, headquartered in Shanghai, has helped provide such an option by mobilizing resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects. Figures released by the bank showed that by the end of the first quarter of 2026, the NDB had approved $42.9 billion in financing for 140 projects.

Covering areas like infrastructure, clean energy and digital transformation, these projects address the pressing development needs of Global South countries while echoing the priorities highlighted by the theme of the ongoing BRICS Summit, “Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability.”

The results can be seen in everyday economic activity. Chromite ore mined in South Africa is smelted into premium stainless steel plates at Chinese factories before finding its way into precision equipment workshops in India’s Bengaluru. Chinese-made modern harvesters work across farmland in Brazil, whose soybean produce feeds global markets.

According to a UN Trade and Development report, intra-BRICS merchandise trade has soared from $84.2 billion in 2003 to $1.17 trillion in 2024, surging more than 13‑fold with an average annual growth rate of 13.3%, outpacing global trade expansion during the same period.

Hailing the past 20 years of BRICS cooperation as fruitful, Xi said BRICS has undergone a historic expansion, established a comprehensive, multifaceted cooperation structure and entered a new stage of high-quality development for greater BRICS cooperation.

Embarking on the third ‘golden decade’

As the BRICS cooperation mechanism is embarking on its third “golden decade,” its expanded membership and growing network of partners have brought new opportunities as well as new demands for cooperation.

Embodying the just aspirations of the Global South to advance the transformation of the international order and amplifying the collective voice of developing countries, the BRICS cooperation mechanism has grown into a strategic force for building a more just and equitable global governance system.

From proposing to deepen the BRICS partnership at the 2017 BRICS Summit in China’s coastal city of Xiamen to advocating the building of a BRICS committed to peace, innovation, green development, justice and closer people-to-people exchanges at the 2024 BRICS Summit in Kazan, China has consistently enriched the connotation of the BRICS cooperation mechanism, aligning the group with the prevailing trend of peace and development.

In recent years, through establishing the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution Innovation Center, launching the China‑BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center and inaugurating the China-BRICS New Quality Productive Forces Research Center, BRICS members and partner countries have continuously expanded the breadth and depth of cooperation in areas like AI, digital development, scientific and technological innovation, industrial upgrading and green transition.

At the New Delhi Summit, Xi called on BRICS countries to pioneer in advancing innovation-driven development, upholding peace and stability, facilitating mutual learning between civilizations, and reforming and improving global governance.

These four priorities point to where the third “golden decade” of BRICS cooperation can generate new momentum.

The Chinese side stands ready to work with all parties to build consensus, create a better future, and embark on BRICS’ third “golden decade,” jointly opening up a bright future of prosperity and progress, Xi added.

HONG KONG, CHINA – The SE3SX Cabin Suitcase recently received the Silver Award in Product Design at the 2026 WGA Wonder Global Design Award, standing out among numerous international entries. The recognition highlights not only its distinctive industrial design, but also Airwheel’s continued exploration of how intelligent technology can be integrated into real-world travel.

Rather than treating luggage as a passive container, Airwheel is developing it as an active mobility device—combining electric drive technology, intelligent controls, connected features and premium design in a compact carry-on format.

From Traditional Luggage to Intelligent Mobility

For decades, the fundamental concept of luggage has remained largely unchanged: pack belongings, pull the handle and walk.

Airwheel approached the problem differently.

The company recognized that the most physically demanding part of many journeys does not necessarily happen during a flight or train ride. It often occurs while travelers move through expansive airports, railway stations, exhibition centers, hotels and transportation hubs, carrying or pulling luggage over long distances.

The result was a new product category that combines luggage with personal mobility.

The Airwheel SE3SX Electric Riding Cabin Suitcase allows users to transition from conventional pulling to powered riding. Equipped with a high-performance brushless motor, the suitcase can reach a riding speed of up to 9.9 km/h, providing an alternative way to move through appropriate travel environments.

Its intelligent riding handle integrates key riding controls, allowing users to manage acceleration, braking, steering and reverse functions with a relatively intuitive control layout. This approach reduces the learning curve while making the riding experience feel more like a compact personal mobility device.

For Airwheel, the objective is not simply to make a suitcase that can move. It is to make luggage more useful once travelers leave the airport gate, hotel lobby or railway platform.

SE3SX: Where Intelligent Design Meets Practical Engineering

The SE3SX combines mobility with a structure designed around both riding and luggage protection.

Its motorized front wheel uses a retractable structure that can extend the wheelbase by approximately 180 mm when riding. The longer wheelbase is designed to enhance stability and handling, helping the suitcase maintain a more controlled riding experience across suitable indoor and outdoor surfaces.

The suitcase body uses an ABS+PC composite construction, reinforced with an integrated aviation-aluminum frame structure. With a maximum load capacity of 95 kg, the design balances the requirements of riding stability with the everyday demands of carrying personal belongings.

This engineering approach reflects a broader philosophy behind the SE3SX: intelligent functionality should not come at the expense of practicality.

A Smart Suitcase still needs to function as luggage. A Luxury Suitcase still needs to look refined. And an Electric Riding Suitcase still needs to provide a reliable and intuitive riding experience.

SE3SX brings these elements together in one 20-inch travel platform.

Intelligent Interaction Beyond the Physical Ride

The evolution of the SE3SX does not stop with electric mobility.

Through its dedicated intelligent APP, users can access key operating information such as riding speed, battery level and accumulated mileage. Riding speed can be adjusted within a range of 0.1–9.9 km/h, allowing users to select a more suitable pace for different environments.

The APP also extends control beyond basic riding.

Users can remotely control the suitcase’s retractable structure, customize its lighting experience and access additional intelligent functions. The built-in ambient lighting supports 8 colors and 9 lighting effects, allowing the suitcase to develop a distinctive visual identity while reinforcing its technology-oriented design language.

Additional functions include low-battery reminders, Bluetooth disconnection alerts, cruise control, intelligent remote control and programming-oriented features.

Together, these capabilities transform the suitcase from a mechanical travel accessory into a connected intelligent device.

The idea is simple: instead of forcing users to adapt to complicated technology, the technology should gradually disappear into the experience.

Apple Find My Adds Another Layer of Travel Security

Connectivity also plays an important role in modern travel.

The Airwheel SE3SX supports Apple Find My, allowing compatible Apple devices to help users locate the suitcase through the Find My network. When the suitcase is within an appropriate nearby range, users can also activate a sound to assist with locating it.

For travelers moving through crowded airports, railway stations, hotels or other busy environments, location-based connectivity can provide an additional layer of reassurance.

The feature reflects a wider shift in how people think about travel equipment. A modern suitcase is no longer isolated from the digital ecosystem surrounding its owner.

It can be connected, monitored and managed as part of a broader intelligent travel experience.

Designed for Real-World Travel

Advanced technology only becomes meaningful when it works within real travel conditions.

The Airwheel SE3SX adopts a 20-inch carry-on format, measuring approximately 530 × 360 × 236 mm, making it compact enough for everyday business trips, leisure travel and other mobility scenarios.

The product is equipped with a 73.26 Wh lithium battery and incorporates a modular, removable battery design to facilitate handling and inspection where required. The battery has passed International safety certification.

A TSA-compatible combination lock further supports international travel, while an external USB output interface allows users to recharge mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and Bluetooth headphones during a journey.

These details demonstrate an important principle behind SE3SX: intelligent travel technology must remain connected to the realities of travel.

An Award That Recognizes More Than Appearance

The 2026 WGA Wonder Global Design Award evaluates product design across multiple dimensions, including creativity, aesthetics, functionality, practicality, market impact, emotional impact and problem-solving.

The SE3SX Silver Award therefore represents recognition beyond visual design.

Its combination of electric mobility, intelligent interaction, structural engineering and travel-oriented functionality demonstrates how a familiar everyday product can be reconsidered through technology.

For Airwheel, international design recognition has become part of a longer journey.

Since entering the intelligent mobility field, the company has continued to invest in areas including electric drive systems, intelligent control, structural design and human-machine interaction. Airwheel has accumulated more than 600 patents globally and has developed a portfolio spanning intelligent mobility products and smart travel equipment.

The company’s products have also received recognition from international design and innovation programs, reflecting its ongoing efforts to combine technology with practical product design.

Building a Broader Intelligent Travel Ecosystem

SE3SXD Ai Luxury Suitcase is the flagship expression of this philosophy, but it is not the only product in Airwheel’s intelligent travel portfolio.

The SE3SL+ Airport Suitcase extend smart riding technology to different travel preferences, combining riding functionality with features such as intelligent APP connectivity, Apple Find My and USB charging.

The SE3miniT Boarding suitcase focuses on a lighter and more compact riding experience for users who prioritize portability and flexible urban mobility.

For travelers requiring additional luggage capacity, the SE3T expands the concept into a larger 24-inch format with approximately 48 liters of storage capacity and a riding speed of up to 13 km/h.

Airwheel also extends intelligent riding technology into family travel with the SQ3S and SQ3S children’s smart riding suitcases, creating a different approach to mobility and entertainment for younger travelers.

Together, these products demonstrate that Airwheel’s vision is broader than a single electric suitcase.

The company is building a product ecosystem around the idea that travel equipment can become more intelligent, more connected and more responsive to individual needs.

The Next Step in Intelligent Travel

The evolution of luggage is no longer limited to lighter materials, larger wheels or additional storage.

The next generation is increasingly about interaction.

From Smart Suitcase to AI Suitcase, from traditional carry-on luggage to Electric Riding Suitcase, Airwheel is exploring how technology can give everyday travel equipment new capabilities without making the experience unnecessarily complicated.

The Airwheel SE3SX represents one step in that evolution.

It combines powered mobility, intelligent control, connected functions, premium construction and carry-on-oriented design in a single platform—turning the suitcase from something travelers simply pull behind them into something that can actively participate in the journey.

For Airwheel, the future of travel is not simply about arriving faster.

It is about making the entire journey smarter, easier and more connected. And with the SE3SX, that future is beginning to take shape—one journey, one innovation and one intelligent suitcase at a time.

Global governance has once again entered the “SCO moment”. On the occasion of the 2026 Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit, a public‑opinion survey conducted by CGTN in collaboration with Renmin University of China through the Institute for International Communication in the New Era, among 13,707 respondents across 48 countries worldwide shows that 74.6% of respondents believe the SCO offers a pragmatic path for cooperation among countries with different systems and serves as an important force for advancing a new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for mankind.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of the SCO. Over the past 25 years, trade volume between China and other SCO member states has risen from USD 12.1 billion in 2001 to USD 523.5 billion in 2025. Projects including the China‑Kyrgyzstan‑Uzbekistan Railway, the SCO Development Bank and the China‑Central Asia Gas Pipeline keep moving forward. The survey indicates global respondents hold positive views on the SCO’s pragmatic cooperation outcomes across various sectors over its 25‑year history. They note that the organization’s international influence has grown markedly in three priority areas: trade facilitation, investment and financing cooperation, as well as cultural exchanges and tourism. Among respondents from SCO member states and dialogue partners, 75.4% state that the “Shanghai Spirit” provides a cooperation framework rooted in mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diverse civilizations and pursuit of common development. Meanwhile, 71.7% of respondents believe the SCO has amplified the voice of Global South countries and advanced the building of a fairer and more reasonable global governance system.

As a founding member of the SCO, China has consistently linked its own development to that of the SCO, and to the aspiration of peoples of all member states for a better life. To date, China’s investment in other member states has kept expanding. In 2025, China’s direct investment across all industries stood at USD 3.3 billion, covering oil and gas, mineral resources, infrastructure, new energy, automobiles, chemicals and other sectors. China has also invested in building more than 30 economic and trade cooperation zones, helping recipient countries boost industrial capacity and driving local economic growth and employment. Survey respondents spoke highly of China’s philosophy and contributions to building an SCO community with a shared future, and widely recognized China’s most remarkable contributions in three dimensions: advancing regional economic cooperation, promoting security cooperation among member states, and providing development assistance and financial support. In addition, 76.2% of respondents hold that China’s Belt and Road Initiative has fostered a new landscape of interconnected and integrated global development; 73.5% note that the Global Governance Initiative points the way for Global South countries to participate in reform of the global governance system.

Today, the SCO has grown into a comprehensive regional cooperation organization boasting the world’s largest territorial coverage, biggest population and enormous development potential. As a key force driving transformation of the global governance system, the SCO is playing an increasingly vital role in practicing true multilateralism, advocating equal‑ and‑orderly world multipolarization and inclusive‑for‑all economic globalization, and has drawn wide international attention. According to the survey, 89.6% of respondents call on all countries to participate in global affairs on an equal footing and jointly shape international rules and order. They expect the SCO to exert greater influence in three major fields: infrastructure and energy, regional security cooperation, and environment and climate change.

Covering major developed countries and Global South nations, this survey targeted ordinary people aged 18 and above, with samples aligned with national census‑based age‑and‑gender distributions in respective countries.

SINGAPORE – 10/09/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Singapore-based AI Labs, a subsidiary of Web3 education pioneer Academic Labs, today announced that it has integrated Google’s Gemini AI into its flagship AIV Chatbot.

The upgrade positions AIV as an advanced, structured investment analytics tool designed to simplify research across cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether, as well as tech giants including Nvidia and SpaceX. AIV allows users to ask simple questions about assets such as Bitcoin and Ether, as well as technology companies such as Nvidia and SpaceX. It then organizes responses around market outlook, technical analysis, fundamentals and risk, presenting the results in a format resembling a concise research note rather than simply generating “buy” or “sell” signals.

The approach is intended to give users a more structured way of thinking about investment decisions.

AIV is able to break an investment portfolio down into different sources of risk and return, distinguish between established assets and higher-growth exposures, and examine how seemingly different investments may become correlated during periods of market stress.

For technology equities, the same framework can be used to distinguish between areas such as AI infrastructure, cloud computing and consumer platforms, while setting out the main upside and downside cases.

The analytics platform is also designed to go beyond identifying potential returns. AIV can frame an investment thesis in terms of the assumptions on which it depends and highlight the conditions that would challenge those assumptions. Key price levels, changes in fundamentals or other “invalidation” scenarios can therefore provide investors with a clearer indication of when an investment view should be reconsidered.

Google’s Gemini is central to the platform’s potential. Google’s AI models can work across text, images, video, audio and code, while connecting with current information and interacting with external tools.

Applied to AIV, these capabilities will allow the Chatbot to analyze earnings releases, retrieve market data, examine charts and tokenomics documents, calculate portfolio exposures, and explain the results in a conversational format that is easy to understand.

Over time, as the technology matures, Gemini could enable investors to upload financial documents or charts for analysis, compare risks across assets, and identify developments that challenge an existing investment thesis. This would move the Chatbot closer to becoming an interactive investment research assistant.

“Investors are surrounded by a wealth of information, but information on its own does not create clarity,” said Ryan Chi, CEO and founder. “AIV is being built to help users connect the signals that actually matter.”

Kingston Kwek, an advisor to AIV, said the key objective is to make sophisticated investment analytics traditionally associated with professional investors more accessible to a broader audience by tapping Gemini’s extensive analytical capabilities, especially since Gemini has achieved global adoption with hundreds of millions of users worldwide.

If AIV can pair Gemini’s ability to summarize and organize information with transparent sources, clear risk controls and plain-language explanations, it could become a powerful research tool for investors navigating the growing overlap between crypto, artificial intelligence and technology equities.

SHENZHEN, CHINA – On 9 September, China Medical System Holdings Limited (867.HK/8A8.SG) (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that the initial prescriptions for the Class 1 innovative drug Silevimig Injection (the “Product”) have recently been issued in multiple hospitals across China, including Beijing Luhe Hospital of Capital Medical University, Wenzhou People’s Hospital, Kaiping Central Hospital, Dongguan Guangji Hospital and Huidong Jilong Ankang Hospital. This marks that the world’s first bispecific antibody for passive immunization against rabies has officially commenced its large-scale clinical application, offering a better solution for urgent post-exposure management against rabies in China.

 

Dual-Epitope Neutralization with Low Dosing, Addressing Clinical Pain Points

Silevimig Injection is the world’s first fully human bispecific antibody targeting dual epitopes (G protein epitopes I and III) of the rabies virus, which is consistent with the World Health Organization (“WHO”) recommendation for a “cocktail” therapeutic paradigm. It can effectively neutralize different viral strains or genotypes of the rabies virus, providing immediate protection before the establishment of full protection by active rabies vaccination, and building a critical line of defense against viral infection.

 

The Product is currently the passive immunization product with the smallest dose for rabies (0.05 mg/kg); compared with human rabies immune globulin (“HRIG”), it requires less injection volume and easier administration, which can effectively reduce pain and improve compliance for patient. Manufactured using recombinant technology, the Product is non-plasma-derived and carries no risk of blood-borne infections. It can be manufactured at scale through standardized and stable processes, with controllable production costs, while offering a single active ingredient, consistent quality and minimal batch-to-batch variability. These advantages open up new possibilities for improving the safety, standardized supply and patient accessibility of rabies passive immunization products, with the potential to further increase market penetration.

 

Initial Prescriptions Issued Within About Two Months After Approval, Academic-Driven Commercialization Platform Accelerating Value Realization

Silevimig Injection was approved for marketing in China in June 2026. Following the approval, CMS worked closely with its partner Genrix Bio to advance critical workstreams including drug supply, market access and academic promotion, while integrating expert networks and market resources. The inital prescriptions were issued in China within approximately two months, accelerating the translation of innovation outcomes into a clinically accessible new treatment option.

 

Currently, CMS has nine commercialized innovative drugs that are progressively achieving large-scale clinical application across China, accelerating the realization of the clinical value of each quality medicine. Going forward, CMS will remain focused on clinical unmet needs and continue to build a differentiated innovative product portfolio through a dual-track system of in-house R&D and collaborative R&D, accelerating accessibility of quality innovative drugs and taking concrete action to safeguard patients’ lives and health.

 

About Rabies

Rabies is an acute zoonotic disease caused by RABV, clinically characterized by aerophobia, hydrophobia, pharyngeal muscle spasms and progressive paralysis^[1], with a case-fatality rate approaching 100%. At present, there is no proven treatment for rabies once clinical symptoms appear. Standardized post-exposure management, comprising wound care, vaccination and passive immunization administered as needed, remains the most effective strategy^[2]. As vaccine-induced antibodies require 1-2 weeks after the first dose of vaccine injection to reach protective levels, passive immunization provides immediate coverage ^[1].

 

According to the National Technical Guidelines for the Rabies Exposure Prophylaxis (2023 Edition), patients with Category III exposure, patients with confirmed Category II exposure involving severe immunodeficiency, and patients with Category II exposure involving wounds to the head or face while the health status of the offending animal cannot be determined should receive passive immunization at the same time as the first dose of rabies vaccine^[3]. In China, more than 40 million people are exposed to rabies annually, of whom approximately 40% fall under Category III exposure^[1]. However, due to factors such as limited awareness, high price, and restricted accessibility, only about 15% of Category III cases receive passive immunization^[1]. Currently, the primary passive immunization option in China is HRIG. However, HRIG must be sourced from healthy donors, making it difficult and costly to obtain. Furthermore, it carries potential risks of blood-borne infections. This has led to a low penetration rate of passive immunization products in China.

 

More Information about Silevimig Injection

In a Phase III clinical trial in adults in China, Silevimig Injection met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating non-inferior protective efficacy compared with HRIG, the currently most used passive immunization product in China. The Product provides immediate protection during the early stages of rabies virus exposure without compromising the active immune response induced by vaccination. In addition, a Phase III clinical trial in children and adolescents aged 2 to <18 years is currently ongoing in China. The Product has been granted a patent in China.

 

In September 2025, the Group through subsidiaries of the Company entered into an Exclusive Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Chongqing Genrix Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. In accordance with the Agreement, the Group has obtained exclusive commercialization rights for the Product in mainland China and exclusive licensing rights for the rest of the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and North Africa. The collaboration term extends until ten years after the Product receives the marketing approval in Mainland China (the “Initial Term for the Product”). Unless terminated or dissolved under the terms set forth in the Agreement, the Agreement will automatically renew for successive ten-year periods upon expiration of the Initial Term for the Product.

Singapore / Timesnewswire / September 7, 2026 – The Second Global Business Summit on Belt and Road Infrastructure Investment to Accelerate the SDGs was held in Singapore under the theme “Connect for Better World.” The Summit was organized by the UN Global Compact’s Sustainable Infrastructure for the Belt and Road Initiative to Accelerate the SDGs Action Platform, co-organized by UN Global Compact Network Singapore.

The Summit convened over 300 senior leaders and representatives of international organizations, global and regional enterprises, civil society organizations, academics and think tanks, launching a dozen of Sustainability-driven joint actions and innovative partnerships led by private sector with a view to unlock opportunities of BRI infrastructure cooperation to advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The Summit adopted a declaration setting out business priorities for sustainable infrastructure, responsible AI, just energy transition, global supply chains resilience, sustainable finance, women and youth empowerment in digital era and international cooperation in traditional medicine. The Summit launched expert groups on sustainable energy and sustainable digital infrastructure, alongside 12 SDG-driven outcomes covering green mining, electricity carbon-footprint standards, biodiversity conservation, ocean protection, sustainable transport, women’s microenterprise growth and inclusive global development, led by private sector pioneers.

UN Assistant Secretary general, CEO of UN Global Compact Ms. Sanda Ojiambo noted resilient infrastructure is key to long-term sustainable development. She emphasized: “the initiatives being launched today – from new expert groups on sustainable energy and digital infrastructure to new guidance on biodiversity, green minerals, and responsible AI – demonstrate that meaningful progress depends on collaboration across borders, sectors, and value chains.” Through the BRI for SDGs Action Platform, she added, “companies are joining forces to develop practical guidance, share expertise, and collaborate on solutions that can be applied across industries and regions.”

Mr. Selwin Hart, UN Secretary-General’s Special Adviser on Climate Action and Just Transition said: “Through the Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese businesses and financial institutions can help connect China’s extraordinary clean energy capabilities with the enormous growth opportunities across the developing world. The next chapter of the energy transition must show what cooperation at scale can achieve. Because in a divided world, our greatest opportunities will come not from retreating behind borders, but from building bridges — connecting markets, mobilizing investment, sharing solutions and creating prosperity together.

2026 kicks start the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport, UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Road Safety Mr. Jean Todt noted the Belt and Road Initiative is one of the world’s largest infrastructure and connectivity efforts. Its scale must be matched by an equally strong commitment to safety. Mr. Li Junhua, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs of United Nations concluded the Summit by appealing “No single country can tackle today’s complex connectivity challenges in isolation. Cooperation, between governments, international organizations, financial institutions and the private sector, is crucial for keeping us connected. The Belt and Road Initiative stands as a prime example of cross-border connectivity in action.

Ms. Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana, Executive Secretary of UNESCAP, Mr. Stephen Jackson, UN resident coordinator in China and Mr. Nikolas Myint, UN resident coordinator in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam highlighted importance role of the Summit to foster cross-border collaboration while noted China, Singapore and ASEAN region’s contribution to regional stability and global progress towards the SDGs.

As a media professional who has long followed international affairs, and as a devout Buddhist practitioner taking refuge in the Three Jewels, witnessing the recurring tragedies of self-immolation in recent years—especially the recent self-harm incident in overseas locations such as New York—fills my heart with deep grief and profound concern.

Every time flames consume a human body, it represents not only the abrupt loss of a vibrant life, but also the irreparable fracturing of a family. Behind the clamor of international rhetoric, people are often swept away by political slogans while losing sight of the most foundational and inviolable pillar of all: the inherent dignity and value of human life. When extreme self-harm is cloaked in the mantle of “faith” and “resistance,” and when pure religious sentiments are converted into fuel for secular geopolitical games, every journalist with a conscience and every practitioner of authentic faith has a responsibility to dispel the illusions, reaffirm the Buddha’s precepts of compassion, and expose the underlying manipulation driving these tragedies.

True Essence of the Dharma: The Preciousness of Human Life and the Fundamental Precept of Non-Killing

In both the Agamas and various Mahayana sutras, the Buddha repeatedly taught that “a human birth is difficult to obtain, as rare as the blooming of the Udumbara flower,” and akin to “a blind turtle encountering a floating yoke in the vast ocean.” Within the Buddhist understanding of cosmology and existence, sentient beings cycle through the six realms of samsara, yet only human rebirth provides the capacity to discern right from wrong, practice the threefold training of ethical discipline, meditative concentration, and wisdom, and accumulate the requisite merit and insight to attain ultimate liberation. This spiritual condition, endowed with the freedom and opportunity to hear and practice the True Dharma, is known as the “precious human vessel” (daljor).

This precious human vessel is the indispensable ship that carries a practitioner across the ocean of suffering toward enlightenment. Destroying this vessel is no different from deliberately sinking one’s boat mid-voyage. While Buddhist precepts are vast and profound, their absolute foundation begins with Ahimsa—the precept against taking life. In monastic codes such as the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya and the Sarvastivada Vinaya, the Buddha laid down strict judgments against the deprivation of life: the rules not only forbid harming others, but strictly prohibit self-harm, suicide, and the praising or inciting of suicide. The Vinaya explicitly stipulates that praising death or inducing others to end their lives constitutes a Parajika offense—the gravest category of transgression, entailing immediate expulsion from the monastic community.

Claims that misinterpret self-immolation as a “Bodhisattva’s sacrifice” are doctrinally untenable. Scriptural accounts of Bodhisattvas offering their bodies to feed a starving tigress or burning a limb as an offering represent transcendental manifestations by advanced Bodhisattvas who have entirely severed ego-clinging, realized the profound truth of emptiness, and mastered boundless spiritual power solely to liberate sentient beings. For ordinary individuals, taking one’s own life amidst resentment, despair, deep-seated attachment, or external political agitation remains an acute manifestation of intense ego-clinging (atmagraha) and afflictive emotions (kleshas).

The excruciating agony of burning alive is prone to arousing profound hatred and mental turmoil at the threshold of death. Under the immutable law of karma, such a state of mind cannot lead to liberation, but instead risks pulling the consciousness into lower realms of suffering. Consequently, regardless of the high-sounding secular rhetoric used to justify it, self-immolation is neither a “Bodhisattva practice” nor “martyrdom for the Dharma”; it is a direct betrayal of the Buddha’s precepts and a grave desecration of the sanctity of life.

The Distortion of Compassion: A Political Hijacking That Betrays Precepts

The core guiding principle of Buddhist practice is to “rely on the Dharma, not on the person.” The practice of authentic faith advocates altruistic dedication and patient endurance, aiming to purify the mind, dispel hostility, and benefit all beings; it never endorses creating bloodshed, agony, and terror to achieve worldly aims. Yet, an examination of the self-immolation incidents over recent years reveals unmistakable traces of chilling political manipulation.

Certain high-ranking figures in Tibetan Buddhism, living in foreign lands and enjoying the comforts of modern civilization, have turned their sights on impressionable young monks and ordinary believers. Exploiting the naive faith and deep reverence of these practitioners, they have deliberately fabricated fallacies such as “self-immolation does not violate Buddhist law,” “self-immolation yields supreme merit,” and “self-immolation is the highest form of protecting the Dharma.” This willful distortion and cherry-picking of religious doctrine represents an overt defilement of the pristine roots of the Dharma.

On an operational level, these political factions have even drafted instructional guides and media publicity manuals to program and weaponize acts of self-harm. They cold-bloodedly calculate the media attention that each tragic act might generate, converting the flesh and blood of young individuals into disposable bargaining chips to secure political attention and funding from abroad. When sacred faith is degraded into an instrument of geopolitical leverage and precious human lives are reduced to sacrificial pawns for publicity, such actions completely abandon Buddhist compassion and trample upon the foundational ethical baseline of human civilization.

Publicity Manipulators: Moral Collapse and Secondary Tragedies Behind the Hype

Even more distressing is the distorted environment within international media following these tragedies. Whenever a self-immolation occurs, certain overseas organizations rapidly mobilize their publicity machinery to stage high-profile memorial services and rallies, forcibly casting the deceased as “heroes” and “martyrs,” and even erecting statues and printing commemorative posters.

From the standpoint of sociology and communication psychology, the sensationalization and heroic framing of extreme self-harm readily triggers the lethal “Werther effect” (suicide contagion). For young people facing personal distress, lacking mature discernment, or caught in ideological fanaticism, this pervasive glorification lowers the psychological threshold of fear regarding death and pain, luring more vulnerable individuals onto a path of no return.

This practice of cheering from a safe distance exposes deep moral hypocrisy. Those who applaud self-immolators from the sidelines never intend to step into the flames themselves; instead, they cold-bloodedly exploit the destruction of others. Once the lauded fires die out, what remains is not constructive progress, but shattered households, grieving parents, and deep emotional scars across communities. Relying on manufactured secondary tragedies to sustain political visibility is an approach that has entirely collapsed in moral legitimacy.

Safeguarding Peace: Forging the Future with Wisdom and Living Lives

The vitality, preservation, and flourishing of any culture can never be built upon the ashes of self-destruction; they rely entirely on living, capable individuals who possess sound minds, knowledge, and constructive agency.

Throughout history, the continuity of plateau culture, the preservation of ancient scriptures, and the study of monastic traditions have all required a peaceful, stable social environment and a secure livelihood. Without social stability and the foundation of material and educational progress, the continuation of any religious culture becomes an unsustainable ideal. Reducing the prime years of youth—which could otherwise be dedicated to studying the scriptures, serving society, and developing communities—to ashes resolves no practical challenges; it constitutes an absolute abandonment and destruction of familial, communal, and cultural responsibilities.

Genuine religious devotion is not blind fanaticism, nor is it subservience to geopolitical agitation; it demands the sharp, luminous wisdom of Prajna. Practitioners must employ reason to discern good from evil, understand the workings of cause and effect, and firmly reject any attempt to radicalize, politicize, or violentize their faith.

The international community and authentic Buddhist practitioners worldwide must unite to condemn and halt all rhetoric that glorifies or incites self-harm. Only by decisively severing the political manipulation extending into religious sanctums, clearing away political opportunism disguised as piety, and restoring the Dharma to its pristine roots of compassion, peace, and the protection of life can we truly safeguard human dignity and secure enduring peace and light.
