Bound by friendship: The sisterhood of Edinburgh and Shenzhen
'Sometimes you can sign sister-city partnerships, but they don't mean very much because there's nothing behind them. But this is not one of those,' said Donald Wilson, a former Lord Provost of Edinburgh, on the twinning between Shenzhen and Edinburgh. At first glance, the two cities may seem worlds apart. However, those who know both well echoed that they share similar traits — open, vibrant, inclusive, and innovative — qualities deeply rooted in their respective histories of breaking the mold and bringing in the new. Along the journey of building this bridge, those who worked tirelessly to turn nothing into something have also forged unbreakable bonds — so close, they now call each other brothers and sisters. In this episode of City Dance by China Daily, join us as we explore the unique friendship between Shenzhen and Edinburgh, celebrating its sixth anniversary this May.

Trump adviser says Nippon to have ‘no control' over U.S. Steel after deal
The terms of a deal between iconic U.S. Steel and its Japanese rival, Nippon, became murkier in the day before President Donald Trump prepares to herald the partnership in Pittsburgh, with a White House official publicly stating that Nippon will have 'no control' over the company. Trump's trade adviser, Peter Navarro, made the remarks Thursday as he sought to clarify the United States' involvement in the transaction, which the White House is touting as a 'historic deal' orchestrated by Trump. The president has long taken an interest in the arrangement, which he initially opposed in concept but celebrated online in an announcement last week as an opportunity to create 70,000 American jobs and add $14 billion to the U.S. economy.
