The American Idol judging panel is locked in!


After weeks of speculation Drazen Petrovic Women's Jersey , Luke Bryan took to Twitter on Friday to confirm that he'll be joining the ABC reboot, alongside Lionel Richie and previously announced judge Katy Perry.


""Hey guys, it's Luke Bryan here. Greetings from Hayfield in Kansas. I'm so excited and proud to announce that I will be one of the three judges on ABC's American Idol,"" Bryan began his video message. ""I will be joined with the beautiful Ms. Katy Perry and my hero, Mr. Lionel Richie, and my fellow Georgia boy, Ryan Seacrest.""


""Can't wait to see you guys. Can't wait to be a part of the show, and I'm so excited to see all the talent out there that America has,"" he continued. ""Make sure you guys stay tuned. We'll be blowing up our socials. It's going to be an exciting year. I'm so honored and we're going to have some fun.""


Richie quickly followed up by sharing a photo of his official Idol portrait.


""HELLO @AmericanIdol! Excited to announce that I will be on the judges panel w@katyperry@LukeBryanOnline & host @RyanSeacrest,"" he wrote. ""#TheNextIdol.""


Perry, who was announced as the show's first judge in May, revealed in an interview with Seacrest last month that she was pulling hard for Richie to join her on the judges table.


“I’m really pulling for Lionel, because I think Lionel is an icon, and not only that, but if you’ve ever met Lionel, he just knows how to charm the whole room,"" she said, praising the 68-year-old singer-songwriter. ""I love Lionel.”


Bryan, meanwhile, reportedly joined the show earlier this month for $13 million -- $3 million higher than Richie, according to TMZ. Perry reportedly scored a payday of $25 million, while Seacrest is earning somewhere between $10 and $15 million.


And though Bryan and Richie have just joined the team, auditions for Idol have been going on since August without any judges.

BEIJING, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- The largest carbon market across the globe opened this week in China, the latest in a series of concrete measures the world's largest developing country has launched in the battle against climate change.


The new program epitomizes China's strong sense of responsibility as a major country in the world, and embodies the philosophy Chinese President Xi Jinping articulated at the beginning of the year in the snow-capped Alpine town of Davos, Switzerland.


In his landmark keynote speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF), Xi shared his vision on how to steer the world economy out of difficulty through concerted effort and urged members of the international community to take on the responsibility of the times.


Xi's inspiring words, as WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab said, have brought ""sunshine"" at a time of uncertainty and volatility.


RESPONSIBILITY CRISIS


History does not lack crucial moments that call for responsible action from the world's major countries.


In the political sense, the modern world was shaped by Western powers through centuries of brutal and destructive wars as well as struggles for hegemony. Oftentimes, they would pursue their selfish interests in the guise of the ""general good.""


Edward Hallett Carr, a British political scientist and historian, wrote in his classic book on international relations, ""The Twenty Years' Crisis,"" that ""this kind of hypocrisy is a special and characteristic peculiarity of the Anglo-Saxon mind.""


A telling example in recent history is the Iraq War. To guarantee its strategic presence in the region, the United States went to war in Iraq based on just one piece of fabricated intelligence and a false promise to liberate the country from tyranny.


Today, 14 years after the start of the war, Iraq still suffers crises on multiple fronts, and the peace prospects in the wider Middle East could not be darker.


The past year has also witnessed how a ""go-it-alone"" superpower can haunt the rest of the international community. In less than a year in office, U.S. President Donald Trump has cut Washington loose from one key international treaty after another.


Chanting the ""America First"" slogan, he has accused many -- if not all -- of his country's trading partners of taking advantage of the United States, and threatened to renegotiate for what he calls ""fairer"" deals.


Such a doctrine of unilateralism has given rise to widespread worries at a time when multilateralism is needed to accommodate the deeply intertwined interests of all nations.


A SHARED VISION


Xi's Davos speech, in which he rooted for free trade, an open economy and globalization, sketches out his multilateralism-based approach to invigorating global growth, and stems from his vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind.


Even since he first expounded the overarching idea to the world in 2013 in a speech at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, he has gradually fleshed it out over the years.


""Our world is full of hope and challenges. ... No country can address alone the many challenges facing mankind; no country can afford to retreat into self-isolation,"" Xi said in his momentous report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in October.


In this era of growing challenges and risks, like climate change, ravaging terrorism, and rising trade protectionism, Xi's proposition charts a clear and viable course forward.


""We have a shared destiny. ... We have to develop our own policy based on common shared interests. That will be a good starting point,"" said Gerhard Stahl, a visiting professor at the College of Europe in Bruges, Belgium.


In Xi's view, a community with a shared future for humankind should feature mutual respect, diversity and dialogue based on equality and peaceful co-existence among different civilizations, .
