27 Jun – Despite her big effort in earning a nomination at the Golden Magnolia Awards, Zanilia Zhao, unfortunately, didn't end up winning Best Actress at the event.

The actress, who attended the awards as the new brand ambassador of DeBeers and the nominee of the Best Actress category for her performance in "Wild Bloom", lost the accolade to veteran actress Wu Yue.

Posting to social media following her loss, the actress wrote, "Zanilia Zhao ran three times. Will continue to run."

It is noted that the actress has been nominated twice before at the said award, the first one in 2015 for "The Journey of Flower", and again in 2019 for "The Story of Minglan".

Meanwhile, "Wild Bloom" also lost the Best TV Series trophy, which was awarded to "A Lifelong Journey" and "Bright Future", the latter being the series that starred Wu Yue.

However, Zanilia did not return home empty-handed, as she was honoured alongside Lei Jiayin as the Chinese TV Program Overseas Promotion Ambassadors.

China calls on scientists of all nations to study lunar samples, but notes obstacle with the US
China's space officials said Thursday they welcomed scientists from around the world to apply to study the lunar rock samples that the Chang'e 6 probe brought back to Earth in a historic mission, but noted there were limits to that cooperation, specifically with the United States. Officials said at a televised news conference in Beijing meant to introduce the mission's achievements that any cooperation with the U.S. would be hinged on removing an American law that bans direct bilateral cooperation with NASA. "The source of the obstacle in US-China aerospace cooperation is still in the Wolf Amendment,” said Bian Zhigang, vice chair of the China National Space Administration.
