Guangzhou: China is showcasing significant advancements in both biodiversity conservation and technology, as evidenced by recent developments in the South China Botanical Garden and other sectors. According to Namibia Press Agency, the South China Botanical Garden in Guangzhou, affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has expanded its collection of plant specimens from Peru to an impressive 6,300 species. This collection, which included only a few hundred specimens a decade ago, now features a large yellow leaf from the Queen of the Andes, a bromeliad plant native to Peru. The plant is considered a treasure and is exclusively found in the high Andes at elevations between 3,000 and 4,800 meters. In another development, olive seeds subjected to space mutation experiments aboard the Shenzhou-14 crewed spaceship in 2022 have successfully germinated in Longnan, Gansu Province. These seeds, weighing 315 grams, are part of a research initiative by China Central Television aimed at acclimatizing the seedlin gs to natural outdoor environments by 2026. Meanwhile, the Chinese automaker BYD has reached a significant milestone with the production of its 10-millionth new energy vehicle (NEV) at a plant in Guangdong Province. This achievement underscores the rapid growth of China's NEV sector and its commitment to promoting green and low-carbon development, especially amid new tariffs imposed by the United States and the European Union on China's electric vehicles.
