China urges space players to watch out for space debris, protect Chinese taikonauts' safety
China urged relevant foreign space agencies and organizations to pay attention to the data on the Chinese spacecraft that are kept updated on the website of the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) to avoid possible space collisions and ensure the safety of Chinese taikonauts, a spokesperson of the CMSA said on Thursday during a press briefing prior to Shenzhou-13's launch.
"China welcomes astronauts from other countries to come onboard China's space station and conduct flight cooperation. We believe we could see more of such cooperation after the space station enters the full operational and utilization phase," Lin Xiqiang, CMSA spokesperson announced.
Lin added that manned space exploration is the common cause of mankind requiring full cooperation and the China Space Station is an integral part of building a community of shared future.

Exclusive: UK and China must continue to stand together to help world meet climate commitments, says UK envoy
![[Image: 39da6b9c-0b7f-4510-8c80-c2e7e0d7fd2c.jpeg]](https://www.globaltimes.cn/Portals/0/attachment/2021/2021-03-02/39da6b9c-0b7f-4510-8c80-c2e7e0d7fd2c.jpeg)
Editor's Note:
At the COP15 in Kunming, Southwest China' Yunnan Province, China demonstrated a strong determination to work with other countries in protecting biodiversity, which is considered a new chapter in biodiversity conservation. The country's efforts of implementing a number of measures to protect and restore biodiversity were also widely hailed by foreign diplomats at the meeting. Global Times reporters Chen Qingqing and Zhang Hui interviewed Caroline Wilson, the British Ambassador to China, recently during the COP15, to talk about China's commitment and solutions to climate change, and potential areas where China and the UK could further strengthen cooperation in the future. As the host of COP26, the UK is also looking forward to this enhanced tie in delivering on promises on environment protection.
GT: How would you evaluate China's new commitments in climate change and their implementation in the past year? What Chinese practices do you think can be adopted by other countries?
Wilson: As one of the 12 mega-biodiverse countries in the world, China certainly has huge potential to provide global solutions to biodiversity loss, and has made great progress already. Over the past decade, China has established thousands of nature reserves and parks. I experienced first-hand on my bird-watching trip to Yeyahu Nature Reserve in Beijing - the second most biodiverse city among the G20 capitals where over 500 bird species live.
However, no country can solve the biodiversity crisis on its own. International collaboration is important.
For years, the UK and China have been important partners in protecting biodiversity for all - for example, in December 2019, the UK supported a "human-wildlife coexistence" event in Jilin Province, benefiting the Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park, by providing UK's expertise in protecting biodiversity.
Biodiversity is also an increasingly important focus of UK Research and Innovation's joint portfolio with China. A bilateral program has developed sophisticated computer models to assess the potential damage of man-made climate change on biodiversity in regions of Southwest China and Southeast Asia upon which millions of livelihoods depend, with analysis ongoing in how best to mitigate the impact of climate change on species.
Since 2014, through the Forest Governance, Market and Climate Programme, we are working with a wide range of stakeholders in China to address the potential negative impacts arising from forest-related commodities such as timber, palm oil and rubber.
In Hainan, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) has been working with its Chinese counterparts, Bawangling National Nature Reserve of Hainan Province, and Hainan University, since 2013 to collaborate on extensive conservation research.
In Shanghai, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has worked in collaboration with National Nature Reserve on Chongming Island on the Spartina and Bird Habitat Optimisation Project to help create and protect wetland habitats.

KUALA LUMPUR – Despite the majority of people in the country having been inoculated against Covid-19, Muhammad Zaki Omar continues to doubt the vaccine and has no plans to get the jab any time soon.
Speaking to The Vibes, he explained his hesitancy towards the vaccine, adding that despite the government’s restrictions against unvaccinated individuals, he will continue to live his life as per normal.
The 36-year-old summarised the reason behind his scepticism: he believes the human body will always be able to fight against a virus by itself.
Those who maintain a healthy lifestyle need only view the vaccine as a choice, he said.

KUALA LUMPUR: The immigration department has uncovered a prostitution syndicate operating out of a carwash premises in Kepong.
Immigration director Khairul Dzaimee Daud said 16 foreign women – 13 Vietnamese and three Thai nationals between 22 to 35 – were detained in the raid on Thursday, while seven local men, consisting of customers and carwash workers, were served with notices to record their statements.
He said investigations revealed that there where were two double-storey shoplots next to each other, where one displayed a carwash signboard to distract the authorities, while the other was only opened to regular customers for sex services from 4pm to midnight.
“From the surveillance carried out, the premises appeared to have poor business and looked unfrequented. However, upon entering the building, it was discovered there were many ‘entertainment options’ on offer with escorts (GROs).

PETALING JAYA: Religious leaders must lead the way in creating reforms and changes towards the abolition of child marriage in the country, Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said.
Speaking at a public forum today, he said the messaging about child marriage may be more meaningful if it comes from religious speakers.
“There still needs to be public consensus backing the abolition of child marriage,” he said. “We need to meet up with muftis to convince them that this is the way forward.”
He added there was enough Islamic thinking and opinion on this considering that child marriage has been abolished successfully in many other countries.

AARHUS (Denmark): China wrested the Uber Cup from Japan after defeating the defending champions 3-1 in the final played at the Ceres Arena here on Saturday night (early Sunday morning Malaysian time).
The win also helped China lift the trophy for a record 15th time, after having won nine times between 1998 and 2016, before Japan emerged victorious in the 2018 edition in Bangkok where China were stunned 3-2 by host Thailand in the semi-finals.
Japan, who had been aiming for their seventh Uber Cup, started well when world number five Akane Yamaguchi beat Tokyo Olympic champion Chen Yu Fei 21-18, 21-10.
However, China’s women’s doubles Olympic gold medallists, Chen Qing Chen-Jia Yi Fan ensured the match stayed within their grip by defeating Yuki Fukushima-Mayu Matsumoto 29-27, 15-21, 21-18 in an epic battle that lasted close to two hours.
China, the most successful nation in the women’s team championship, then took the lead when world number nine He Bing Jiao ousted Sayaka Takahashi in straight sets, winning 21-9, 21-18.
