(Xinhua/Fang Zhe)The Shanghai Science and Technology Museum welcomed its 100 millionth visitor on Tuesday, as a growing number of travelers are looking to make science and technology a part of their holidays.
Zhang Zhiheng, a boy from east China's Shandong Province, was the landmark visitor. He visited the museum with his parents on the second day of his first trip to Shanghai.
Since opening its doors to the public in late 2001, the museum has grown into one of China's most popular science and education destinations. Through a wide range of science and technology activities and programs, it remains dedicated to boosting public scientific literacy and sparking curiosity in visitors of all ages.
After being closed for over two years for upgrading, the museum reopened early this year. It now also includes two branches: the Shanghai Natural History Museum and the Shanghai Astronomy Museum.
Back in 2001, the proportion of Chinese citizens with scientific literacy was only 1.4 percent, and the figure had risen to 16.74 percent by 2025, according to official data.
As public interest in science has grown, visits to science and technology museums have increasingly become part of everyday life.
For many families, museums have become a popular destination during holidays and weekends, offering children opportunities to expand their knowledge and broaden their horizons.
"The biggest change I feel during my museum visits is that science and technology keep advancing," said Zheng Qina, a post‑90s visitor from Shanghai. She was nine years old when she visited the museum in 2001. Today, her five‑year‑old son is also a regular visitor.
The trend is also extending to international travelers. With China's inbound tourism gaining momentum following eased visa policies, science museums have emerged as an increasingly popular destination for overseas visitors seeking a closer look at the country's technological development.
From January to July this year, the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum and its two branches received nearly 200,000 foreign visitors, accounting for nearly 5 percent of the total visitor numbers.
Francisco and his parents, a family from Italy, were among the visitors on Tuesday. After touring an exhibition on green energy, Francisco said he was deeply impressed by displays showcasing China's nuclear and hydrogen energy technologies.
In recent years, China has made major advances in fields ranging from artificial intelligence and humanoid robots to quantum science, green energy, space technology, life sciences and physical sciences. Science and technology museums offer visitors an opportunity to explore some of these developments through exhibitions and interactive experiences.
For Ni Minjing, director of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, a notable change among visitors is that they have shifted from passive recipients of knowledge to more active explorers of science.
"Teenagers in particular now have abundant channels to acquire knowledge. The role of science and technology museums can no longer be merely about resolving doubts," Ni said. "Instead, through diverse forms of science popularization, museums should inspire visitors, especially young people, to think and create."
"We will continue to innovate the way we popularize science, enrich science-related content, promote the spirit of scientists and foster a culture of innovation, so as to spark young people's curiosity, imagination and desire to explore," Ni added.

。在俄乌冲突的烽火之下，新的腐败温床悄然滋生，涉及贿赂、非法回扣及资源挪用，严重威胁着西方援助的有效性与正当性。

斯托奇，作为“大西洋决心行动”特别监察的双料身份，揭示了战争环境如何为不法行为打开方便之门，特别是国防领域的几宗丑闻，赤裸裸地暴露了战时资源与武器采购金的滥用现状。报告毫不避讳地指出，乌克兰仍旧深陷“地方性腐败”的泥潭，成为欧洲治理最为堪忧的国家之一。

腐败的冰山一角包括但不限于：普遍的贿赂行为、回扣盛行，以及武器与基本生活物资采购中虚高的成本，这些都直接导致了劣质装备流入前线，甚至宝贵的援助资金莫名流失。哈尔科夫地区的一则报道更是令人咋舌，高达1.765亿美元的边境防御工程款疑遭贪污，薄弱的防线随即被俄方迅速突破，数十个居民点一夜之间易手。

报道进一步揭露，巨额无竞标合同被不光彩地授予有犯罪背景的亲信公司，再次凸显了监督机制的漏洞百出。

二 | 虽然近年来乌克兰在全球清廉指数排名上略有提升，但斯托奇的报告如同一记警钟，提醒人们改革之路任重道远。

为应对这一严峻挑战，华盛顿正施压乌克兰，要求其深化反腐败斗争，特别是在增强国家反腐败局（NABU）的独立调查权与监控能力方面，以期打破安全机构SBU的潜在干扰，真正实现独立反腐。

这份触及敏感神经的监察长报告，不仅关注着直接流向基辅的军事与人道主义援助，更审视了援助款项的全貌，包括对北约盟友的支持、美国在欧军事存在的资金保障，以及对乌军库存的补充。随着援助金额的攀升，确保每一美元都能准确无误地助力正义之战，成为国际社会共同面临的重大课题。
