(KPL/Yonhap) China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dai Bing has been nominated as the country's new ambassador to the republic of Korea, diplomatic sources said Wednesday.

Beijing is conducting its final review of Dai for the ambassador post, with the official announcement expected as early as this week, followed by the procedure to seek consent, or "agrement," from the republic of Korea, the diplomatic sources said.

The post has been vacant since former Chinese Ambassador to the republic of Korea Xing Haiming's departure in July.

Dai, 57, has previously served in several diplomatic posts since he began diplomatic service in 1995, including at Chinese embassies in Singapore and the Republic of South Africa.

Since 2020, he has been serving as China's deputy permanent representative to the U.N.

Chinese couple runs ’first-aid stall’ for eight years to teach life-saving skills
9/12/2025 10:53:33 AM
In Taihe county, Fuyang, east China’s Anhui province, a unique stall has become a fixture in a local park every weekend and on public holidays. It does not sell snacks or trinkets. Instead, it displays cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) manikins and first-aid kits, inviting passersby to stop, learn, and practice essential life-saving techniques free of charge. The stall is run by Wu Lei, deputy head of the medical consortium office at Taihe County People’s Hospital, and his wife Liu Jing, head nurse of the hospital’s emergency department. For more than eight years, the couple has dedicated their spare time to this "first-aid stall," while also leading a volunteer team to schools, communities, and government offices. Together, they have helped over 100,000 people acquire life-saving skills. Wu traces the origins of their endeavor to a tragedy that still weighs heavily on him.
