    RIO DE JANEIRO, July 17 (Xinhua) — The BRICS Media and Think Tank Forum on Wednesday unveiled an initiative on cooperation and development in artificial intelligence (AI), calling for joint efforts to use AI in news content production and think tank research.

    The initiative forms an important consensus on jointly building a new architecture of international communication, on deepening cooperation to jointly build new models of industrial interaction, and on using intelligent manufacturing to jointly create a new system of knowledge exchange.

    Participants agreed that the technological revolution in artificial intelligence is changing the global information and communication landscape, creating new opportunities for digital transformation in the Global South while at the same time increasing systemic risks such as technological monopoly and data hegemony.

    Based on this, the forum participants noted, the BRICS media and think tanks should rely on the development realities of the Global South and create a paradigm of cooperation that involves joint technological research, the development of common standards and collective discussion of governance issues so that AI achievements benefit all of humanity.

    The event also called on BRICS media and think tanks to use this initiative as a starting point to provide countries in the Global South with practical examples of how to harness digital opportunities and advance the transformation of the international order through information interaction and the formation of a common discourse, thus jointly writing a new chapter in the history of the symbiosis of civilizations in the era of artificial intelligence. –0–

  • MIL-OSI USA: Durbin Questions Witnesses In Senate Judiciary Subcommittee Hearing On The Way AI Interacts With Copyrights

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Illinois Dick Durbin

    July 16, 2025

    WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, today questioned witnesses during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing entitled “Too Big to Prosecute?: Examining the AI Industry’s Mass Ingestion of Copyrighted Works for AI Training.” Today’s hearing examined the way AI interacts with intellectual property rights, particularly copyrights.

    Durbin asked Edward Lee, a Law Professor at the Santa Clara University School of Law, about Section 230 in relation to AI.

    “You’re suggesting this is the age of innovation—deep learning deserves special treatment. We’ve been through this argument in Congress before—Section 230—[which] is a good illustration of that. We decided this fledgling industry called the internet just may not have a future [and] we better be careful, so we exempted them from liability. Is that what you’re suggesting?” Durbin asked.

    Professor Lee responded, “not at all,” and continued to highlight the existing Supreme Court precedent on “fair use.” AI companies argue that training their models on copyrighted works does not constitute infringement because that activity falls under the doctrine of “fair use,” which allows limited use of copyrighted works without the permission of the author for purposes such as commentary, parody, teaching, research, and news reporting. Courts determine whether use of a work is fair use on a case-by-case basis. He continued to say there is a fair balance between protecting copyrighted works, authors, and innovation.

    “It looks to me like you’re shifting the burden to the author of the creative work when there’s an assertion of ‘fair use’ here. So, Meta or others can virtually steal this creative product of Mr. Baldacci [an author witness at the hearing] and others, and then he has the responsibility of proving there’s been an economic loss to him as a result?” Durbin asked.

    Professor Lee responded that the initial burden of “fair use” is on the defendant.

    “Why do we have AI? Why are we interested in AI? Clearly it is for a commercial purpose, is it not?” Durbin asked.

    Professor Lee responded, “entirely, for the AI companies.”

    “So, the companies are ultimately the winners in the approach you are taking. Assume we’re in the world of new innovation here and there is a use of someone else’s creative work—the burden is on them to prove they lost money because of that piracy… they can use Mr. Baldacci’s product and make money off of it,” said Durbin.

    Professor Lee responded that if using copyrighted works like Mr. Baldacci’s is considered “fair use,” the direct benefit would be to the AI companies. He continued to say that the United States has a priority in AI development and if we are in an arms race with China, winning the AI race is important.

    “And Mr. Baldacci should be prepared to pay the price for that?” Durbin asked.

    Professor Lee responded, “I would suggest that if it is so easy to generate copies of Mr. Baldacci novels, that should go in the complaint in these lawsuits… we should not throw out the window the established Supreme Court precedent on how to apply ‘fair use.’”

    Video of Durbin’s first round of questions in Committee is available here.

    Audio of Durbin’s first round of questions in Committee is available here.

    Footage of Durbin’s first round of questions in Committee is available here for TV Stations.

    Durbin then asked Maxwell Pritt, a Partner at Boies Schiller Flexner LLP, who represents plaintiffs in Kadrey v. Meta Platforms. In this case, authors, including Richard Kadrey and Sarah Silverman, sued Meta, alleging copyright infringement related to the training of Meta’s LLaMA AI model using copyrighted books. Durbin asked Mr. Pritt about Meta’s use of pirated databases to obtain copyrighted works to train its GenAI model. 

    “Did Meta compensate any of the copyright owners for the use of their works?” Durbin asked.

    Mr. Pritt responded, “No, but Meta did spend money on contributing its processing power to pirate from illicit websites and also to pay Amazon to host pirated data.”

    “How does the downloading and uploading of pirated copyrighted material impact the analysis of whether a copyright infringement could meet the mens rea requirement of willfulness necessary for criminal infringement?” Durbin asked.

    Mr. Pritt responded, “As to willfulness in the civil copyright context, the documents Senator Hawley showed—I think the answer is clear the piracy committed by Meta was knowing and intentional.”

  • MIL-OSI: Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) Market Set to Soar with 26.90% CAGR, Projected to Reach US$ 233.2 Billion by 2032 Amid Growing Demand for Scalable and Cost-Effective IT Solutions: AnalystView Market Insights

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    San Francisco, USA, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) market was valued at USD 34,680.33 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 26.90% from 2025 to 2032. DaaS transforms the conventional IT ownership model by offering a subscription-based solution that integrates hardware, software, and managed services into a single, streamlined package.

    DaaS model is transforming how businesses equip their workforce, especially in the era of hybrid and remote work. Rather than purchasing devices outright, companies lease them as part of a service contract that includes setup, maintenance, security, and replacement. This approach simplifies IT asset management, reduces upfront costs, and ensures that devices are consistently updated and secure. For instance, the General Services Administration (GSA) has adopted the DaaS model through its Federal Acquisition Service (FAS). The GSA offers IT hardware and managed services bundles under long-term contracts, helping federal agencies streamline procurement and reduce capital expenditures.

    HARBIN, July 17 (Xinhua) — The Harbin Conservatory of Music in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province will continue to strengthen cooperation with Russian universities to build a first-class Sino-Russian music culture exchange center, a first-class Sino-Russian music education cooperation base and a Sino-Russian high-level academic and research exchange platform in China, Song Fei, director of the conservatory, told Xinhua News Agency on Thursday.

    According to her, since the conservatory was founded in 2016, a total of 23 Russian experts have been invited to work there, and currently 10 Russian experts work at the conservatory. It is expected that by the end of 2025, their number will reach 20 people.

    Among these experts is Anton Ostapenko, a specialist from the St. Petersburg State Conservatory named after N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov, who came to Harbin in 2016 and has since worked as a teacher at the Harbin Conservatory.

    He noted that Harbin has its own unique geographical advantages and historical foundation for the development of classical music, and plays a very important role in promoting exchanges in the musical field between Russia and China.

    “I am very glad that the exchange of musicians between Russia and China is constantly developing. As far as I know, there are currently many Russian musicians working in China on a permanent basis,” he said.

    “I taught quite a few talented Chinese students at the Harbin Conservatory,” said A. Ostapenko. He noted that more and more outstanding Chinese musicians are taking part in international competitions.

    Meanwhile, the professionalism of Russian experts is widely recognized by students and teachers at the Harbin Conservatory. “Russian teachers have their own unique methodology. At the same time, they pay special attention to practice. All this helps us develop our musical sense,” said Wang Siyuan, a student at the conservatory.

    In recent years, conservatories in China have been actively developing cooperation with Russian specialized universities. In 2023, the Harbin Conservatory, together with the St. Petersburg State Conservatory named after N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov, established the Chinese-Russian Musical Union. In March of this year, the Chinese-Russian Research Center for Musical Culture was founded at the Chinese Conservatory in Beijing. -0-

    BEIJING, July 17 (Xinhua) — The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Business Forum was held in Beijing on Thursday, where participants discussed issues on promoting green energy transformation and deepening connectivity within the SCO.

    The event, themed “Promoting Shanghai Spirit, Businesses in Action,” was attended by about 400 government and business representatives from China and overseas.

    Gao Yunlong, Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and Chairman of the All-China Association of Industry and Commerce, noted that the SCO is a regional international organization with the largest territory and population in the world, and trade and economic cooperation is a powerful engine for the dynamic development of the SCO.

    According to him, China is ready to work with all parties to further align development strategies, promote improvement of the quality and level of trade and economic cooperation, and ensure stability and continuity of production chains and supply chains.

    SCO Secretary General Nurlan Yermekbayev said that the SCO has unique resources and political will to form a model of open, pragmatic and mutually beneficial economic cooperation.

    He added that direct interaction between enterprises and investors, as well as between regions, is intended to become a reliable basis for strengthening industrial cooperation, developing new markets and implementing specific projects specifically under the SCO brand.

    The President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, Sergei Katyrin, noted that the powerful economic, natural and human resources possessed by the SCO countries create serious preconditions for the accelerated development of trade between member states and the implementation of joint economic projects.

    “The high dynamics of Russia’s trade turnover with the SCO countries is supported by the growth of settlements in national currencies, the share of which currently amounts to more than 92 percent,” said S. Katyrin, adding that increasing multifaceted interaction with SCO partners is one of Russia’s foreign policy priorities.

    “In the context of modern global challenges, instability in external markets and rapid digital transformation, we see enormous potential in developing economic ties in the SCO space,” emphasized Temir Sariev, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Kyrgyz Republic, noting that Kyrgyzstan welcomes cooperation in the technical, investment and administrative spheres with partners from the SCO countries.

    Wang Mingda, a representative of the Marketing and Financing Department of China Energy Engineering Corporation Limited, said that in the future, the company, adhering to the concept of green development, will enhance the coordination and mutual recognition of green standards and norms with the SCO countries, promote the construction of more future cities, smart grids and smart parks in these countries, so as to make China’s contribution to the green transformation of the SCO countries.

    The event, hosted by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), also saw the release of a report on the development of SCO supply chains. -0-

  • MIL-OSI China: China pushes forward with people-oriented high-quality urban development

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    BEIJING, July 17 — The recent tone-setting meeting on urban development indicated that China’s urbanization is shifting from large-scale quantity expansion to one focused on improving the quality and efficiency of existing urban areas.

    “This significant judgment not only reveals new characteristics of urban development in our country but also provides direction for future urban work,” said Wang Kai, president of the China Academy of Urban Planning & Design.

    The urbanization rate of the permanent resident population in China has increased from 53.1 percent in 2012 to 67 percent in 2024. Based on international experience and urban development patterns, an urbanization rate between 30 percent and 70 percent is generally considered a period of rapid urbanization, according to Wang, adding that China has entered the late phase of relatively rapid urban development, and the intrinsic logic of urban development is undergoing profound changes.

    “Shifting from scale expansion to quality enhancement implies that urban development must now rely less on traditional factors such as land and capital and more on new factors including knowledge, data, technology and management, aiming for higher quality, greater efficiency, more equitable, sustainable and safer development,” Wang noted.

    The Central Urban Work Conference, held in Beijing on Monday and Tuesday, stated that since the Communist Party of China’s (CPC) 18th National Congress in 2012, the CPC Central Committee has adhered to developing cities of the people, for the people, and by the people. Historic achievements have been made in urban development, it added.

    Between 2013 and 2024, China created over 150 million new urban jobs.

    China, a traditionally agricultural country, has seen its urbanization pick up after the reform and opening-up drive began in the late 1970s. More than a decade ago, the country’s urban population exceeded the rural population.

    Yang Baojun, president of the Urban Planning Society of China, said that the laws of urban development have demonstrated that the old path of large-scale incremental expansion is no longer viable. Rather than passively responding to challenges, cities should proactively adapt to high-quality development and explore new pathways.

    The meeting held earlier this week established key priorities for urban development, including optimizing the modern urban system, building vibrant cities powered by innovation, and creating comfortable and convenient living environments, as well as promoting green, low-carbon, and beautiful urban spaces.

    The priorities also include enhancing urban safety and resilience, fostering cities that uphold moral integrity and social civility, and advancing the development of convenient, efficient and smart cities, the meeting said.

    Cui Kai, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that these priorities closely align with the goal of building modern cities of the people, which encompasses both hardware improvements and software development, and addresses the immediate issues while also planning for long-term growth, reflecting a profound understanding of the urban development laws.

    “Looking ahead, China will jointly promote urban physical examination and urban renewal, formulate special plans for urban renewal scientifically, and focus on key tasks such as complete community construction, renovation of old urban residential communities, and historical and cultural heritage preservation,” said Chen Shaopeng, an official from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

    “Furthermore, it is essential to collaboratively refine supportive policies related to land, taxation and finance to accelerate the establishment of a sustainable urban renewal model,” Chen added.

    There are more than 690 cities scattered across China, with a population of 940 million residing in urban areas.

  • MIL-OSI China: China-Kazakhstan port sees surging cross-border tourism

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    URUMQI, July 17 — Under the summer sun, Aybota Bahetihan boarded the international transit bus at the Jeminay Port station, northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, at 10 a.m. An hour and a half later, she arrived in Kazakhstan’s Zaysan to begin a day trip across the border.

    “Traveling with just a passport feels incredibly convenient. This is my first international trip, and I can’t wait to explore the local culture,” she said, excitement lighting up her eyes as she planned to visit Victory Square and museums.

    Jeminay Port, a Class I national land port in Xinjiang’s Altay region, bordering Kazakhstan, has seen a surge in tourist traffic since the implementation of the China-Kazakhstan 30-day mutual visa exemption policy.

    Official data showed that by July 15, the port had recorded over 49,000 cross-border travelers and 12,000 vehicles, peaking at more than 830 entries and exits daily, which is a record high over the past years. The summer vacation season has amplified the trend.

    “We dispatched a 150-person tour group yesterday, and self-driving tours surged in May and June. Our Kazakhstan-themed packages now span 1 to 30 days, with rising consultations,” said Yang Chun, manager of a Xinjiang travel agency’s Jeminay branch.

    Makhmet Aitosh, a tourist from Kazakhstan, said, “The visa-free rule eases travel. Our group plans to spend over 20 days touring Xinjiang, from Jeminay to Urumqi.”

    To streamline the influx, the Jeminay Port Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station optimized procedures, introducing tactics such as forecasting travel waves and providing clear procedural guides for travelers.

    Fu Mingjie from the station highlighted measures for peak seasons: “We adjust staffing and open ‘green channels’ for vulnerable groups, enabling fast, efficient movement.”

    Liu Shurong, deputy director of Jeminay’s cultural tourism development bureau, also emphasized plans to roll out combined “domestic plus international” travel products, which highlight Xinjiang’s natural wonders while offering seamless access to neighboring destinations.

  • MIL-OSI China: China’s economic resilience drives global growth

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    BEIJING, July 17 — In the face of a complex international landscape and mounting challenges, China achieved steady economic growth in the first half of 2025, boosting confidence in global growth potential.

    According to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on Tuesday, China’s gross domestic product (GDP) grew 5.3 percent year on year in the first half of 2025 and 5.2 percent year on year in the second quarter.

    Analysts noted that by steadfastly advancing high-quality development and steadily expanding high-level opening-up, the Chinese economy has demonstrated strong resilience, providing a reliable driving force for global economic growth.

    STRONG RESILIENCE

    Since the beginning of 2025, the international economic and trade order has experienced severe shocks and increasing uncertainties. In the face of mounting pressure, China’s economy has maintained a steady and positive momentum, presenting a high-quality performance.

    “Resilience” has become a key word used by overseas media when reporting on the Chinese economy, with many noting that China’s economic data in the first half of the year exceeded market expectations and that the country stays on course to meet its annual growth target of around 5 percent.

    China’s GDP growth, despite the impact of U.S. tariff policy, signals strong resilience, highlighting China’s adaptive policies and manufacturing depth, said Philippe Monnier, former executive director of the Greater Geneva Berne area (GGBa), the investment promotion agency for Western Switzerland.

    The encouraging growth of the Chinese economy is mainly attributed to the strong performance in trade, industrial production and retail sales, said Lynn Song, chief economist for Greater China at ING, a Dutch bank. He added that the solid results in the first half should keep China on track to achieve its full-year growth target.

    Thanks to efforts to strengthen economic and trade ties globally, China’s foreign trade sector delivered a strong performance, significantly contributing to overall economic growth. In the first half of the year, China’s total goods trade hit 21.79 trillion yuan (3.04 trillion U.S. dollars), reaching a record high for the same period.

    During this time, China’s imports and exports with more than 190 countries and regions registered growth, with 61 trading partners posting trade volumes exceeding 50 billion yuan (6.96 billion dollars).

    In addition to increased trade with traditional markets such as the European Union, Japan and Britain, emerging markets provided additional momentum. Notably, China’s trade with Africa and Central Asia rose by 14.4 percent and 13.8 percent year on year, respectively.

    EFFECTIVE POLICY

    Facing an increasingly complex and challenging external environment, China has effectively implemented more proactive and effective macroeconomic policies, further strengthened the domestic economic circulation, continued to advance high-level opening-up and steadily pushed forward economic transformation and high-quality development.

    In the first half of 2025, domestic demand contributed 68.8 percent to GDP growth, serving as the main engine of economic expansion, according to the NBS.

    China’s emphasis on household subsidies, fiscal support and credit access for small businesses has helped stabilize internal demand while shielding the economy from external shocks, making it more resilient to trade tensions and global slowdowns, Rwandan economic analyst Teddy Kaberuka told Xinhua.

    Japan’s Jiji Press noted that the Chinese government’s implementation of a moderately accommodative monetary policy has yielded tangible results in supporting the real economy, and measures introduced to boost consumption also played a positive role in driving economic growth.

    During the first half of 2025, China saw rapid growth in high-tech sectors such as scientific innovation and green development. Value-added industrial output in high-tech manufacturing rose by 9.5 percent, 3.1 percentage points higher than that of overall industrial output during the same period.

    With strategic support for sectors such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, electric vehicles and clean energy, China is transitioning toward a more sustainable, consumption-driven growth model that benefits global supply chains and investment flows, said Monnier.

    Karim Adel, head of the Cairo-based Al Adl Center for Economic and Strategic Studies, noted that in the challenging year of 2025, China has introduced a series of proactive policies not only to advance its own growth objectives but also to provide sustained momentum for the global economy.

    BENEFIT THE WORLD

    In the face of the challenging international landscape, the Chinese economy has demonstrated strong resilience and vast development potential. Driven by innovation, it is advancing high-quality development, contributing to global economic growth and sharing development opportunities with the world.

    Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut, minister of economic affairs of the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg, who led a delegation to visit China recently, told Xinhua that she was deeply impressed by China’s achievement in science and technology, adding that China is an exciting market in intelligent transportation, robot industry and other emerging areas.

    In recent years, Germany and China have been deepening cooperation in cutting-edge areas, said Bernd Einmeier, president of the German-Chinese Association for Economy, Education, and Culture.

    German enterprises remain enthusiastic about investing in China, while a growing number of Chinese companies view Germany as a strategic gateway for expanding into the European market, said Einmeier, noting that this two-way interaction serves as a stabilizing force for global industrial and supply chains.

    Munetsi Madakufamba, executive director of the Southern African Research and Documentation Center, praised China’s zero-tariff measures covering all taxable products for 53 African countries, saying it represents a significant development that has the potential to enhance China-Africa trade relations.

    The positive performance of the Chinese economy can help Africa unlock its vast economic potential and contribute to its development aspirations, he added.

    In an era marked by uncertainty, China’s stability and development represent confidence and opportunity, said Ng Chin Long, chairman of the Malaysia Friends of Silk Road Club.

  • MIL-OSI China: Xinjiang airport records soaring cross-border trips amid opening-up push

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    URUMQI, July 17 — A total of 500,000 trips to or from China have been recorded in 2025 at the Urumqi Tianshan International Airport in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region — the highest figure for the January-July period in a decade.

    By Monday, foreign nationals had made more than 146,000 trips to China via the airport this year, which was a year-on-year increase of 30 percent, according to statistics from the airport’s immigration authorities. Of those trips, 39,000 were visa-free entries.

    Approximately 40 percent of these foreign visitors were traveling for tourism, the immigration authorities said, noting that business and visits to relatives or friends were the second and third most common reasons for border entry among foreigners.

    The airport’s passenger and cargo capacities received a major boost when a new terminal began operations three months ago. The new terminal is a key part of the airport’s expansion project, which began in 2019.

    With the expansion, the airport now has three runways — a significant increase from its previous one — and can accommodate up to 48 million passengers and 550,000 tonnes of cargo annually. It is now capable of supporting nearly 367,000 aircraft takeoffs and landings each year.

    “As an air transport hub for China’s westward opening-up, the Urumqi Tianshan International Airport is making progress in various aspects, boosting the high-standard opening-up of the country’s northwest region,” said He Mingxing, a scholar at Xinjiang University.

    The new terminal is a representative of the rapid development of civil aviation infrastructure in Xinjiang.

    And with the Barkol Dahe Airport officially beginning operations on Tuesday, Xinjiang’s total number of civil airports has risen to 28 — the highest among all provincial-level regions in China.

    As the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, Xinjiang has been working hard to accelerate its airport construction. The number of airports in the region — both operational and under construction — is expected to reach 33 by the end of 2025.

    Many international travelers come to China to buy goods like daily necessities and electronic devices, and airports in Xinjiang have been enhancing their consumption experience and tax-refund-upon-departure services for these visitors.

    At the Urumqi Tianshan International Airport, a 24-hour outlet and self-service counter are in place to facilitate these services.

    “We processed a total of 168 tax-refund-upon-departure transactions by July 12, which was an increase of more than 500 percent from the same period last year,” said Liu Jiawei, head of the outlet, which is operated by a local bank.

    Xinjiang is not only an important window for China’s westward opening-up; it also has the potential to become a consumption hub connecting Central Asian countries with the Chinese market, and to play a more strategic role in enhancing an outward-looking economy, He said.

    Padilla Condemns Republicans’ Rescission of Billions in Public Broadcast and Foreign Aid Funding

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) issued the following statement slamming Republicans’ narrow passage of President Trump’s $9 billion rescissions package to revoke Congressionally appropriated funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid:
    “On the heels of giving away $4.5 trillion in tax breaks to corporations and billionaires, Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are now claiming we can’t afford essential public broadcasting services and important foreign aid programs. 
    “Republicans’ cuts to public broadcasting will put lives at risk by undermining the last line for lifesaving emergency alerts in so many communities across the country, just days after the devastating floods in Texas. At the same time, their cuts to foreign aid will end low-cost, high-impact programs while undermining U.S. national security, creating a vacuum in global leadership that China and Russia are more than happy to fill.  
    “All these funds were negotiated and approved in a good-faith and bipartisan manner. By breaking those commitments, Republicans have made it exponentially harder for themselves to seek and secure the support they’ll need from Democrats to fund the government later this year.”

    BERLIN, July 17 (Xinhua) — China’s dual role as a stabilizing force and a driver of innovation in global supply chains is becoming increasingly visible as companies around the world face growing uncertainty, rising operating costs and challenges from climate change, Schneider Electric executive vice president Yin Zheng told Xinhua in an exclusive interview ahead of the third China International Supply Chain Exposition (CISCE).

    Yin Zheng noted that China’s fully integrated industrial system gives it a unique position in the global supply chain. “The traditional efficiency-oriented model is no longer sufficient,” he said. “The industry now needs not only efficient supply chains, but also sustainable and green supply chains, and this is a view increasingly shared by different industries.”

    According to Yin Zheng, CISCE is a timely platform for global manufacturers to engage in international dialogue and deepen industrial cooperation amid ongoing global uncertainty.

    “That’s why we are participating,” he said. “CISCE is a window connecting China with the world and a new calling card for China’s high-level openness.”

    For multinational companies like Schneider Electric, CISCE is more than a platform to showcase innovation, he said. CISCE provides a valuable opportunity to find new partners and explore ways to transform and modernize industrial supply chains, he stressed.

    “China is the most important engine of global growth,” he said, adding that the rise of new productive forces in China, especially in digital and green development, opens up greater opportunities for technology companies.

    China’s industrial ecosystem is increasingly characterized by openness and cooperation, and more companies are joining in joint innovation and knowledge sharing, he said.

    Looking to the future, Yin Zheng noted that the global industrial landscape is undergoing profound changes, driven by the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the accelerated movement toward sustainable development. To fully leverage these trends, he called for closer cooperation between industry, academia and government.

    “Digitalization and green transformation are fundamentally changing the way global supply chains operate,” he said. “Schneider Electric will continue to leverage China’s momentum and collaborate with local partners to bring new technologies to all parts of the supply chain.” –0–

    URUMQI, July 17 (Xinhua) — The incoming and outgoing passenger flow through Jimunai Port in Jimunai County in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has exceeded 49,000 times this year as of July 15, according to local border control data.

    During the reporting period, 12 thousand vehicles passed through this checkpoint on the Chinese-Kazakh border, the data showed.

    According to Yang Chun, a manager at a local travel agency, the number of cross-border tour groups has increased significantly. He said his company, which offers various tour routes lasting from 1 to 30 days to Kazakhstan, organized tours for car tourists using 28 vehicles in May and June this year.

    The boom in cross-border travel is driven by the implementation of a mutual visa-free regime between China and Kazakhstan, which came into effect in November 2023.

    The visa-free policy makes cross-border travel more convenient, said Aytosh Makhmet, a tourist from Almaty, Kazakhstan, who plans to travel to Burchun County and Urumqi City in Xinjiang and other places during his stay in China.

    The county’s Department of Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism is working to develop new cross-border tourism products that integrate tourism resources from China and Kazakhstan, allowing domestic travelers to Xinjiang to also enter Kazakhstan through the Jimunai checkpoint, said Liu Shurong, an official with the department. -0-

    BEIJING, July 17 (Xinhua) — Chinese Vice President Han Zheng met with South African Vice President Paul Mashatile in Beijing on Thursday.

    In September last year, China and South Africa announced the upgrading of their bilateral relations to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership for a new era. Han Zheng said this opened a new chapter in building a high-level community with a shared future between the two countries.

    He called on both sides to further implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, continuously deepen political mutual trust, promote high-quality development of bilateral cooperation, and serve the cause of modernization in both countries.

    Paul Mashatile said South Africa attaches great importance to its relations with China and firmly adheres to the one-China policy.

    Noting that bilateral cooperation in trade, investment and other areas has made significant progress, he said the country is willing to implement the consensus reached to contribute to the development of relations between South Africa and China, as well as between Africa and China. -0-

    BEIJING, July 17 (Xinhua) — The organizing committee of the Xinjiang International Mining and Machinery Expo said on Thursday that two specialized forums dedicated to Central Asia will be added to the event, which will be held from July 18 to 20, 2025.

    The first forum will be devoted to issues of cooperation between Central Asia and the Silk Road countries in the mining industry, while the second will discuss issues of development of the mining industry in the context of the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway.

    According to Hu Yaoguang, Secretary General of the Organizing Committee of the Expo, 2025-2026 have been declared the “Years of High-Quality Development of China-Central Asia Cooperation.” Within the framework of this cooperation, six priority areas have been approved: unimpeded trade, industrial investment, infrastructure connectivity, “green” mining, agricultural modernization, and people-to-people exchanges. This creates political support for the successful implementation of the projects.

    According to him, the second China-Central Asia summit was recently held in Astana /Kazakhstan/, during which China and the five Central Asian countries reached a number of cooperation agreements, giving new impetus to interaction in the region. Against this background, the addition of two Central Asian forums to the Xinjiang Mining Expo is aimed at further deepening and specifying China’s multilateral cooperation with the Central Asian countries.

    The mining industry is one of the key sectors in the Central Asian economy and an important area of cooperation between China and the countries in the region. Since its establishment, the Xinjiang Mining Expo has always paid great attention to building a platform for mining exchanges between China and Central Asia.

    Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region /Northwest China/, as a key area of the Silk Road Economic Belt and with the geographical advantage of a common border with Central Asian countries, serves as a frontier for cooperation in the mining industry. The construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, a landmark cooperation project between the three countries under the Belt and Road Initiative, will dramatically improve the region’s transport and logistics conditions, opening up new opportunities for cooperation in the mining sector. -0-

    BEIJING, July 17 (Xinhua) — A total of 2.085 million fingerlings of five rare fish species, including common taimen, burbot and Siberian grayling, have been released into the Irtysh River basin in Altay Prefecture of northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region this year, according to the region’s department of agriculture and rural affairs.

    As the department added, approximately 1.2 million more fry of three species of commercial fish were released into Lake Urungu on the territory of the district this year.

    This is a key step in the efforts of local authorities to restore and protect aquatic biological resources, as well as improve the ecological environment of water bodies, the department said in a statement.

    The Altai District has six national-level zones for the conservation of aquatic product germplasm resources, where 360 million fish fry can be grown per year. Thanks to the ecological restoration system formed with the release of fish fry as one of the main methods, the fish population in the district increased by 10 percent year-on-year in 2025, the department noted.

    The water quality in the Irtysh River basin has remained at class I for the third year in a row, said department official Qu Hong.

    Let us recall that the Irtysh River flows through the territories of three countries: Kazakhstan, Russia and China. It originates from the southern slope of the Altai Mountains, flows into the Ob and carries its waters to the Arctic Ocean. -0-

  • MIL-OSI China: China, ASEAN members hold talks on AI-powered women development in Guangxi

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    Over 180 delegates from across China and ASEAN countries convened in Nanning, the capital of south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, on Wednesday, to explore AI’s transformative potential to boost women’s development.

    Themed “Empowerment, Sharing, Innovation: Artificial Intelligence and Women’s Development,” the 2025 Exchange and Cooperation Forum on Women’s Development with ASEAN marks its 9th edition since its debut as the China-ASEAN Women’s Forum in 2006.

    “This convening reflects the growing urgency to place women at the center of technological transformation within ASEAN, China, and the broader global community,” said Sok Chan Chhorvy, secretary of state, Ministry of Women’s Affairs of Cambodia, during the event’s opening ceremony.

    Wang Weiping, Guangxi’s deputy Party chief, highlighted at the forum the region’s strategic role as a gateway to Southeast Asia, leveraging cultural and geographic ties to foster collaboration.

    Guangxi is building a cross-border AI ecosystem, integrating world-leading R&D from top-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with applications in the ASEAN region to create more opportunities for women in the digital era, said Wang.

    The opening ceremony also featured the signing of key agreements aimed at strengthening women’s empowerment.

    The two-day forum features roundtable discussions that focus on AI’s role in advancing women, alongside an exhibition showcasing women’s AI-driven entrepreneurial achievements.

    Many event participants lauded China’s leadership in AI, citing its innovations as a model for ASEAN nations, and called for stronger China-ASEAN collaboration to create an inclusive digital environment for women to thrive.

    “We seek stronger ties with women’s federations in China’s border regions, as well as with counterparts in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia,” said Do Thi Thu Thao, first vice president of the Vietnam Women’s Union, “to advance e-commerce, cross-border trade, healthcare, and cultural exchange, fostering mutual growth in the digital era.”

  • MIL-OSI China: China sees robust growth in geographical indication products

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    China has cumulatively recognized 2,861 geographical indication (GI) products, the country’s top intellectual property official announced on Thursday.

    Shen Changyu, head of the China National Intellectual Property Administration, unveiled the data at a press conference, where he presented achievements in intellectual property (IP) during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025) and addressing questions from the media.

    The annual output value of China’s GI products increased from 639.8 billion yuan (about 89.5 billion U.S. dollars) in 2020 to 969 billion yuan in 2024, Shen noted. A total of 7,424 GIs have been registered as collective or certification trademarks, and over 37,000 business entities have been authorized to use the GI special symbol.

    GI is a type of IP that signifies a product’s specific origin and the qualities or reputation linked to that location. It serves as a mark of quality, setting a product apart from its competitors. Notable GI examples include French Champagne and Chinese Kweichow Moutai.

    The CNIPA has implemented documents concerning the protection of GI products and the registration and administration of collective and certification trademarks, among others, according to Hu Wenhui, deputy head of the CNIPA. These measures strengthened source protection by improving GI examination standards and procedures.

    It has also guided the establishment of 123 national GI protection demonstration zones and advanced 44 GI protection projects, with the aim of fostering distinctive local industries, combating infringement and counterfeiting, and protecting the lawful rights of producers and operators.

    Furthermore, the CNIPA launched an action plan leveraging GIs for rural revitalization, so as to enhance the added value of GI products, promote integrated development with cultural tourism and other sectors, and increases farmers’ incomes.

    It has also promoted mutual recognition and protection of GIs with the European Union and Thailand, advanced China-France GI cooperation, and conducted exchanges with multiple Belt and Road partner countries.

    To date, 110 Chinese GI products have gained protection overseas, offering international consumers premium Chinese products like small grain coffee from Baoshan, southwest China’s Yunnan Province and wine from the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, Hu said.

    Next, the CNIPA will enhance GI protection and utilization systems focusing on rural revitalization, industrial development, and cultural heritage, Hu said.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Mashatile calls for SA and China to shift focus from raw material trade to collaborative industrialisation

    Source: Government of South Africa

    South Africa and China are at a crucial juncture in redefining their economic partnership, moving from a focus on raw material trade to a collaborative approach to industrialisation. 

    This is according to Deputy President Paul Mashatile, who was speaking during a working dinner with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) and Standard Bank at the China World Summit Wing Hotel Conference Hall in Beijing.

    “South Africa and China are at a pivotal moment to redefine our economic partnership, from raw material trade to co-industrialisation. Together, we can pave the way for a brighter future that brings prosperity to our people and strengthens the bonds between our nations.“

    The Deputy President emphasised the need for collaboration in strategic sectors to promote investment and trade in areas such as battery manufacturing, critical minerals, renewable energy, green hydrogen, infrastructure, rail modernisation, and metallurgy revitalisation.

    “South Africa presents significant investment opportunities in metallurgy and smelter revitalisation, driven by its rich mineral resources and the global shift towards a low-carbon economy.

    “Let us turn commitments into concrete projects that create jobs, transfer technology, and position South Africa as China’s gateway to Africa.”

    Mashatile is currently in China for a strategic working visit.

    The purpose of the visit, which began on Monday, is to strengthen bilateral relations and enhance economic cooperation between South Africa and China.

    He told the attendees that the gathering signifies the importance of fostering strong partnerships between South Africa and China in strategic sectors for investment and trade promotion. 

    “With the diversified resources of South Africa and the economic strength of China, there is a great deal that we can accomplish together. We must augment our collaboration, especially in critical industries poised for investment and trade.” 

    Currently, the Deputy President stated that South Africa and China have strong economic cooperation, with bilateral commerce amounting to US$34 billion in 2024 and Chinese foreign direct investment in South Africa being US$13.21 billion. 

    The Deputy President believes that this partnership is characterised by a growing trade relationship, with China being South Africa’s largest trading partner for 16 consecutive years.

    “A notable aspect of the trade relationship is the trade imbalance, where South Africa exports primarily raw materials to China and imports manufactured goods, creating a trade deficit for South Africa. South Africa needs to benefit more from its active, albeit highly unequal, trading partnership with China,” he said. 

    He said the dinner presented a strategic opportunity to leverage the institutions’ financial expertise and advisory market insights to deepen investment in SA’s priority sectors and to also address trade imbalances by promoting value-added exports and technology transfer. 

    The Deputy President said the platform was crucial to advancing partnerships in renewable energy, critical minerals, infrastructure, and manufacturing under the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) framework.

    “Through the process of recognising and capitalising on these key sectors, we can create an environment in which both of our economies benefit and in which we make progress towards our common objectives.

    “I am certain that the many areas of expertise and knowledge that have been collected around these tables will make it possible for us to devise specific plans and strategies that can be put into action, which will propel our partnership ahead.” 

    He also highlighted some opportunities in green industrialisation, infrastructure financing, and export diversification. 

    “In addition to a rapidly expanding renewable energy industry, the country’s plentiful natural resources, which include minerals that are essential for the development of environmentally friendly technology, provide a solid basis for the expansion of green industrialisation.” 

    Meanwhile, he stressed that strategic investments in infrastructure, particularly in water and sanitation, and a focus on export diversification can further drive sustainable economic development and job creation. 

    Mashatile said there was potential for South Africa and China to work together to foster innovation, the transfer of technology, and the development of skills.

    “There is the potential for us to form partnerships that are beneficial to both parties if we capitalise on our skills and explore new ways of working together.

    “Through partnership and working together for a common purpose, we can realise the full potential of both our countries.” – SAnews.gov.za

  • China threatens to block Panama ports deal unless its shipping giant gets stake, WSJ reports

    Source: Government of India (4)

    China is threatening to block the sale of more than 40 ports, owned by Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison, to BlackRock BLK.N and MediteAAACrranean Shipping Company (MSC) if Chinese shipping company Cosco does not get a stake, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing unnamed sources.

    Reuters could not immediately verify the WSJ report.

    CK Hutchison, MSC, BlackRock and Cosco did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for a comment, while the Chinese government could not be immediately reached outside office hours.

    Chinese officials have told BlackRock, MSC and Hutchison that if Cosco is left out of the deal, Beijing would take steps to block Hutchison’s proposed sale of the ports, the newspaper said.

    Tycoon Li Ka-shing’s CK Hutchison in March announced it would sell its 80% holding in the ports business, which encompasses 43 ports in 23 countries. The business has an enterprise value of $22.8 billion, including debt.

    After much scrutiny and criticism in China, Hong Kong conglomerate CK Hutchison confirmed in May Italian billionaire Gianluigi Aponte’s family-run MSC, one of the world’s top container shipping groups, was the main investor in a group seeking to buy the ports.

    BlackRock, MSC and Hutchison all are open to Cosco taking a stake, WSJ said.

    However, the parties would likely not reach a deal before a previously agreed upon July 27 deadline for exclusive talks between BlackRock, MSC and Hutchison, the report added.

    The proposed sale has also drQAawn the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly expressed his desire to reduce Chinese influence around the Panama Canal and termed the deal a “reclaiming” of the waterway after it was first announced.
