Zhang Shuai of China hits the ball during the women's singles first-round match against Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus at the Australian Open Tennis Championships in Melbourne http://www.columbusbluejacketsteamstore.com/adidas-brandon-dubinsky-jersey , Australia, Jan. 16, 2017.

Zhang Shuai said a group of promising Chinese players who have grown up training together were ready to shine as she breezed into the Australian Open second round on Monday.

Zhang rescued her failing career with her run to last year's Melbourne quarterfinals and, now seeded 20th, she impressed again with a 6-0, 6-3 win over Aliaksandra Sasnovich from Belarus.

The 27-year-old world No.23 said she isn't the only player from Tianjin who can make an impact, as close friend Duan Yingying also won her first match.

"I'm really happy for -everyone. So many young -players now are playing so well. We come from the same city," Zhang said.

"Since 8 or 9 years old, we've been training in the same training center. We've been training together a long time so I'm -really happy to see so many players from my country and my city play well.

"I hope they can play better and better."

China has been waiting for another player to make their breakthrough after the 2014 retirement of Li Na, whose two Grand Slam titles brought -tennis to a mass audience in the country.

Duan, also 27, won in straight sets (6-3, 6-4) against Rebecca Sramkova, and can achieve her best Grand Slam performance yet if she beats American Varvara Lepchenko in Round 2.

Peng Shuai, who also lives in Tianjin and reached the US Open semifinals in 2014, joined Zhang and Duan in the second round with a 6-0, 7-6 (75) win over Daria Kasatkina.

And Tianjin's Wang Qiang is among four Chinese women who will play their first-round matches on Tuesday.

Before last year's Australian Open, Zhang had never won a Grand Slam main-draw match and was on the verge of quitting tennis.

She said she felt confident on her return to Melbourne, where she will play American Alison Riske in Round 2.

"I don't want to compare it with last year because last year I did so well and I just want to enjoy this year. I played really well today," she said.

"I'm feeling very confident on court because I like it here so much. I hope I can keep the feeling I had today and play -better and better. I'm looking forward to my next match."

BEIJING, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- Jojivini Vuna was lucky: The 90-year-old Fijian woman had moved into her son's concrete house just days before the strongest tropical cyclone to make landfall hit her country and flattened her wooden cottage early last year.

Severe Tropical Cyclone Winston, with record-breaking category five winds, claimed 44 lives and leveled villages when it swept through the 300-odd islands that make up Fiji's archipelago.

For not only Fiji, but also the rest of the world, it was a bitter and vivid illustration of what's at stake in the face of ever-more-ferocious weather anomalies fueled by climate change.

Among climate change's victims, China, the world's largest developing country, took a bold step to pledge 3 billion U.S. dollars in 2015 to help other developing countries. A year later, it played a decisive role in the eventual delivery of a global climate change accord in Paris.

China's widely applauded boldness in fighting what is likely humanity's cruellest enemy was rooted in a vision conceived in 2012 and carried forward by President Xi Jinping of building a community of shared future for all.

XI'S ROADMAP, WORLD'S FUTURE

Upholding the concept of building a community with a shared future for all humankind, the Chinese president is expected to offer a package of solutions to fixing a flawed global governance system at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss resort of Davos later this month.

Xi's attendance comes when the world is at a critical juncture between charging forward with globalization or backsliding on global economic chances -- and challenges -- to help shape a better world for all are unprecedented.

It was in Switzerland that China made its debut on global arena, when then Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai arrived in the lake-laced Geneva for an international conference on the situation in Vietnam and Indochina in 1954.

The following 63 years witnessed China's miraculous rise from a war-torn and poverty-ridden country to the world's second largest economy. Riding the tide of globalization and regional integration, China has tightly knitted its interests with those of the rest of the world.

Over the past two decades, China has contributed about 30 percent to global growth and played a quintessential role in pulling the recessionary world economy back to growth following the 2008 global financial tsunami. Today, the country Xi leads is widely seen as a problem-solver with global influence.

Since taking office, Xi has pursued sweeping and painstaking reforms at home to build an innovation-based and environment-friendly economy, all the while reducing poverty rates.

Globally, China has helped cure the Ebola pandemic in Africa and build roads, bridges, schools and hospitals in Asia and Latin America.

These endeavors reflect the guiding vision of building a community with a shared future for everyone, fostered from ancient Chinese wisdom treasuring harmony, peace, equality and benevolence.

BETTER COMMUNITY TAKES SHAPE

For Xi, building a better world is in line with his roadmap to build a better China. The idea of a global community was carried out by a host of detailed and down-to-earth diplomatic guidelines.

In relations with neighboring countries, Xi stresses the four principles of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness.
