Parenting can be very different depending on where you grow up. What one person calls discipline, another might see as pressure. What one calls independence, the other might see as a lack of guidance. But when two very different ideas of parenting collide, who will make the stronger case? One against five – from diverse backgrounds, contrasting experiences and with very different ideas about what makes a good parent. They put their own experiences on the table, challenge each other's assumptions, and discover that the line between "good parenting" and "bad parenting" may not be black and white. Here's how it works: one main debater takes on five challengers. With just three minutes on the clock for each argument, can they make a strong enough case to win over Merna – the main debater? So, will five voices be enough to change one mind? Or will one voice stand its ground? Welcome to The Real Power of Youth, only on CGTN.

Ever wonder what actually happens to that bag of trash you toss out every day? A decade ago, "garbage siege" wasn't an exaggeration. But these days? Things have flipped: some waste-to-energy plants are running half-empty. So how did we go from "garbage siege" to "not enough trash to burn"? CGTN Digital went to check out a garden-style factory in Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area. Across the city, 26,000 tonnes of trash is generated every day. At this plant, it is fermented for five to seven days, dewatered, then fed into incinerators running above 1,000 degrees Celsius. The heat generates electricity. The bottom ash becomes permeable bricks that are used to pave the city's streets. Wastewater is treated and reused on-site – with zero discharge. AI helps out too, adjusting parameters and offering suggestions in real time. A lot of people think waste sorting and waste incineration are two separate things. But it's actually the opposite: sorting makes incineration cleaner, more efficient and safer. It's not about one replacing the other – they work together. September 20 is World Cleanup Day. This film follows one bag of trash on its journey – from the bin to its "rebirth." So how does your city handle its trash?

Kris, an American social media manager working in Shenzhen, shares her firsthand experience of what China is really like. Before traveling to China, she imagined a traditional country; after arriving, she discovered modern cities, advanced technology and a highly convenient way of life. What struck her most was the efficiency of interconnected systems. Through Alipay, she can not only make payments, but also book high-speed train tickets, reserve hotels and arrange international mobile service — all in just ten minutes. She also felt the warmth of ordinary people: her apartment manager is learning English just to communicate with her directly. She believes young people especially can see that today's China is not the China their parents described. Regarding current China-US relations, she admits the US may view China as a competitor, but she hopes the US will treat China not as a rival, but as a partner — "There's a lot of things that both countries can bring to the table and can further develop the world together." 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA

Promoting healthy aging also requires a shift toward prevention, with health interventions starting early in life, Kluge said in an exclusive interview with CGTN's Health Talk on the sidelines of the Boao Forum for Asia Global Health Forum. He stressed the importance of collaboration between the health and education sectors and of maintaining healthy lifestyles, particularly through regular physical activity. The Boao Forum for Asia Global Health Forum 2026 was held in Haikou from September 15 to 16. Guests from 32 countries and regions attended the event.

When 3D printing meets the 1,000-year-old kiln fires of Jingdezhen, creative sparks fly. The city in east China's Jiangxi Province has made porcelain for a millennium and is known as China's porcelain capital. American artist Michael May, from Oklahoma, set up his studio there and is now pursuing a PhD at the city's ceramic university. He blends 3D printing with the ancient craft Jingdezhen is famous for. "I'm doing something nobody has done before," he says. "Sometimes it's lonely." He's watched friends and classmates give up along the way, which is why he pushes his students to stay the course. As for himself, he's given up a lot to be here. Quitting wasn't on the table. In Jingdezhen, he explores the history and feels the city's tradition, openness and warmth. The film is about what keeps him there: the quiet workbench he found in the countryside, among rice fields and hills, a cup of tea from a local and the joy in children's faces as they make pottery from mud. #coolchina 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA

Experts from West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, and the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding have completed what they describe as the world's first functional orthopedic treatment for mandibular asymmetry in a giant panda. Using intraoral scans and 3D digital technology, the team designed a custom appliance for four-year-old Beixia, whose jaw had shifted left after injuries sustained shortly after birth. After six months of treatment, Beixia's jaw was largely corrected and his sucking, chewing and swallowing functions returned to normal. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA

Tigrino, a 10-year-old wild cat living at the Senda Verde Wildlife Sanctuary in Coroico, Bolivia, was filmed on Saturday after scientists formally identified his species as Leopardus tilcayo, the first new living cat species described in more than a century. He is the only known individual of the species under permanent human care. Researchers say the small spotted cat is native to Bolivia's Yungas cloud forest, where deforestation and mining threaten its habitat. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA

To mark the 38th National Teeth-care Day, Professor Hu Wenjie, vice dean of the Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology, addresses common oral health misconceptions. He explains why sugar-free drinks can still erode enamel, why teeth that feel healthy might still need attention, and why early prevention is essential for lifelong oral health. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
