It's Labor Day in China, and hundreds of millions are on the move, making the most of a five-day public holiday. But not everyone is in vacation mode. Trains are running full, restaurants are bustling, police are managing crowds and staff at tourist hotspots are hard at work. One such spot is Jingshan Park – an imperial garden just north of the Forbidden City and a must-see for visitors in Beijing.

CGTN is on the ground, speaking with park staff about how they're preparing for the surge in visitors, the special events they're organizing and what it's like to be on duty while much of the country takes a break.

In his first 100 days, President Trump's trade war with China has strained bilateral ties, leading to market crashes, business paralysis, and growing fear of a U.S. recession. Liu Xin explores why Trump's approval is at a historic low, even among allies, and how China's "never kneel down" message reflects a shift in diplomacy and the risks of trade war escalation.

Guests:

Einar Tangen, a senior fellow at the Taihe Institute.

John Quelch, executive vice chancellor and American president at the Duke Kunshan University.

Zhao Hai, director of international political studies at China's National Institute for Global Strategy.

Surabh Gupta, senior Asia-Pacific international relations policy specialist at the Institute for China-America Studies.

The Vietnam War devastated not only a country but also the lives of millions, both Vietnamese, and the U.S. soldiers who were sent to fight a war far from home. The documentary follows a group of elderly U.S. veterans on their return to the scene of a war that still impacts their lives. By telling their deeply personal stories – of a brother searching for answers, of soldiers haunted by their memories and of victims still suffering the effects of Agent Orange – the episode explores the continuing human cost of the Vietnam War half a century after it ended. It examines the deep scars it left behind on those who are returning not as soldiers, but as seekers of closure, of answers and of peace.

"Make America Great Again" caps, the Made in China version, are $4, and the official Trump Store sells them for $47. That is a 12x markup – but it's not just that. The U.S. relies on imports for most everyday goods: 90 percent of clothing, 95 percent of smartphones, and 88 percent of festive decorations (mostly from China).

Tariffs could mean higher prices on everything from groceries to tech – but is the U.S. ready to give up affordable imports? Experts warn of supply chain disruptions and even shortages. Are Americans prepared to pay more, or is "Made in the USA" worth the cost?
