Chinese President Xi Jinping has ordered all-out search and rescue efforts for the missing and prompt medical treatment for the injured after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck a county in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region on Thursday night, Xinhua news agency reported.
The earthquake struck Baqen County in Nagqu City, Xizang (Tibet), at 10:33 p.m. Thursday, Xinhua news agency reported.
The quake has left 16 people dead and 65 injured, according to local authorities.
Noting that the affected area is at a high altitude with low temperatures, Xi stressed the need to closely monitor seismic activity and weather conditions to prevent secondary disasters.
Efforts should be made to properly accommodate the affected residents, repair damaged infrastructure as quickly as possible, and safeguard people's lives and property, Xi said.

This story captures something I noticed in Shanghai too: young people treat the city almost like a shared living room.

The point about low-cost identity is sharp. It explains why small habits can feel bigger than entertainment.

I would love a follow-up about second-tier cities. Chengdu and Hangzhou probably have different versions of this.

The examples feel familiar even outside China. Urban life is becoming more improvised everywhere.

Museum visits, cycling routes, pop-up stores - that mix says a lot about how cities are changing.

The article makes the trend feel human instead of just lifestyle branding. Nice angle.

I like that the piece does not frame this as Westernization. It feels more locally invented.

The writing around public streets becoming social spaces is especially strong.

This reminds me of weekend markets near university areas. Very accurate.
