    BEIJING, May 13 (Xinhua) — China will establish a multi-tiered system of comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) education programs covering primary, first- and second-grade middle schools across the country to guide students from gaining fundamental cognitive knowledge to practical technological innovation, according to policy documents released Monday.

    At the primary school level, China’s Ministry of Education (MOE) prioritizes AI literacy by introducing basic technologies such as voice recognition and image classification.

    Building on the foundation of this cognitive aspect, junior high school students will deepen their understanding of AI logic, explore machine learning processes, and develop critical thinking to identify the risk of misinformation in AI-generated results.

    In the upper secondary school, the focus shifts to applied innovation. Students will use their accumulated knowledge of AI to develop and improve AI algorithm models while developing interdisciplinary systems thinking.

    To achieve these goals, the Ministry of Education and Science of the People’s Republic of China will promote the inclusion of professional skills in pedagogy and teaching using AI in the teacher training system, calling on schools to develop differentiated content curricula and practical assignments in accordance with the age characteristics and stages of cognitive development of schoolchildren.

    Notably, the Chinese Ministry of Education and Science emphasizes the pedagogical potential of generative AI. “Teachers can use generative AI tools to deploy interactive learning and create immersive teaching experiences,” said an official in charge of the basic education segment of the Chinese Ministry of Education and Science.

    He also called for practically strengthening students’ ability to make logical inferences and enhancing their level of innovative thinking through AI-based interactive learning.

    At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of the People’s Republic of China emphasized that students are strictly prohibited from directly copying content created by AI as homework or answers to exam questions. At the same time, the department requires teachers at the aforementioned educational institutions to develop students’ ability to think critically about the results of AI work and practically increase their level of independence in processing information. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: China and LAC countries to deepen building of community of shared destiny

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    BEIJING, May 13 (Xinhua) — China and Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries will jointly deepen and thoroughly advance the building of a community with a shared future, said Qiu Xiaoqi, special representative of the Chinese government for Latin American affairs.

    He made the statement ahead of the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC Forum (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States).

    Chinese President Xi Jinping will deliver a keynote speech at the opening ceremony and unveil new initiatives and measures to further strengthen ties. China and LAC countries are expected to make progress in a wide range of areas, including scientific and technological innovation, trade and investment, and artificial intelligence (AI).

    China and LAC countries will take a retrospective look at their original aspirations, pool consensus, and jointly map out future plans, Qiu Xiaoqi said.

    Qiu Xiaoqi recalled that in July 2014, Xi Jinping and LAC leaders announced the establishment of the China-CELAC Forum. In January 2015, the forum held its first ministerial meeting in Beijing, turning the vision of cooperation into reality.

    Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the first meeting of the forum, where he provided strategic guidance and laid a solid foundation for the successful launch of the forum and its long-term development.

    Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the second ministerial meeting of the forum in 2018, calling on the two sides to reach political consensus on cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative. In 2021, he delivered a video message to the third ministerial meeting, charting a course for promoting high-quality development of China-LAC relations in the new era, Qiu Xiaoqi said.

    He said that thanks to Xi Jinping’s personal care and leadership and the joint efforts of all parties, the China-CELAC Forum is becoming more and more mature.

    The mechanism of this forum has formed a comprehensive, multi-level and multi-vector network of dialogue and cooperation, becoming an important platform for strengthening political trust, linking development strategies and promoting the rapprochement of peoples.

    He added that the forum also played an important role in promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for China and the LAC, as well as enhancing the influence of countries in the Global South.

    Through a range of institutional mechanisms such as ministerial meetings, dialogue between the Chinese and CELAC Quartet Foreign Ministers, and meetings of national coordinators, the forum has developed a growing number of specialized sub-forums, ranging from political party sub-forums to business sub-forums.

    “The China-CELAC Forum has become a key platform for building political consensus, putting forward important initiatives and measures, formulating action plans and evaluating results. It has played an important and active role in promoting China-LAC cooperation in various fields,” Qiu Xiaoqi said.

    Over the past decade, the forum has witnessed leaps and bounds in China-LAC relations, Qiu Xiaoqi noted, detailing five features that currently characterize China-LAC relations.

    First, bilateral relations have improved. Panama, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras have established or renewed diplomatic relations with China, and of the 26 countries in the region that have diplomatic relations with China, 16 have established various forms of partnership with China.

    Second, the confluence of interests has brought new results. More than 20 LAC countries have joined the Belt and Road Initiative. China is now the second-largest trading partner of Latin America and the Caribbean, and the largest trading partner for several countries in the region, with free trade agreements signed with five countries.

    According to Qiu Xiaoqi, trade volume between China and countries in the region reached US$518.4 billion last year, more than double the volume of a decade ago.

    Third, the peoples have become closer than ever. LAC countries have widely supported the Global Civilization Initiative. The China-LAC Forum on Dialogue of Civilizations has been held seven times, demonstrating closer people-to-people exchanges between the two sides.

    Fourth, their cooperation in the international arena has made further progress. Adhering to mutual respect and taking into account each other’s core interests and concerns, China and LAC countries maintain close communication through platforms such as the United Nations (UN) and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), working together to advance global governance reform and safeguard the common interests of developing countries.

    Fifth, a new framework for overall cooperation has been established. With improved mechanisms, the China-CELAC Forum has become the main channel for interaction between the two sides.

    Qiu Xiaoqi stressed that it has become a common aspiration to elevate relations between China and LAC countries to a higher level.

    China will make use of the China-CELAC Forum and promote high-quality cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative.

    According to Qiu Xiaoqi, priority areas will be expanding transport connectivity, promoting trade and investment, deepening cooperation in manufacturing capacity, strengthening cooperation in aerospace and artificial intelligence, and strengthening exchanges on public administration.

    Qiu Xiaoqi stressed that China, Latin America and the Caribbean are some of the most dynamic and promising countries and regions in the world and are vital parts of the global South.

    Strengthening their solidarity and cooperation will not only help build a vast trans-Pacific market and support each other in resisting unilateralism and protectionism, but will also give a sustainable impetus to their development and make an important contribution to world peace and development, he said.

    Qiu Xiaoqi concluded that by taking the opportunity of jointly hosting the fourth China-CELAC Forum Ministerial Meeting, China and LAC countries will demonstrate solidarity and cooperation, strengthen bilateral ties, bring certainty to a troubled world, and contribute to the development and progress of mankind.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Comment: China-US trade talks signal stability and certainty for global economy

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    BEIJING, May 13 (Xinhua) — At the recent China-U.S. high-level meeting on economic and trade in Geneva, the two sides had frank, in-depth and constructive discussions on many issues, reaching a number of important agreements and making substantial progress.

    This was an important step towards resolving differences through equal dialogue and consultation, laying the foundation and creating conditions for further deepening cooperation.

    China and the United States together account for more than a third of global GDP, and their mutual trade accounts for about a fifth of global trade, making trade ties between the two countries a key player in the global economy. With the global economic recovery sluggish and geopolitical tensions rising, it is clear that maintaining channels of communication between Beijing and Washington is essential. The significant progress made reflects joint efforts to resolve differences and find common ground in a complex global environment.

    China has always taken a consistent and constructive approach to economic relations with the United States, seeking to return bilateral ties to the path of stable and healthy development through dialogue and consultation. It is encouraging that the United States has shown its willingness to participate in this process.

    But the damage already done cannot be ignored. Over the past month, Washington’s unilateral tariffs have seriously damaged the economies of not only China and the United States, but the entire world. American companies and consumers are forced to pay more, and inflationary pressures in the United States continue to rise.

    The global implications are even more alarming. US tariffs have disrupted global production and supply chains and undermined the rules-based multilateral trading system. International institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank have repeatedly warned that protectionism poses a serious threat to the global economic recovery. In this context, the recent round of talks between China and the US has provided a much-needed signal of stability and certainty.

    The positive results of the Geneva meeting confirm that the only effective way for major powers to resolve differences is through equal and constructive dialogue, not confrontation. Given the different national contexts and priorities, differences are inevitable. It is important that they be resolved on the basis of mutual respect for each other’s core interests and through continuous dialogue.

    No country will give up its legitimate rights to development in the face of unreasonable demands. Only through equal dialogue and consultation can the parties clearly state their concerns, clear up misunderstandings, and address the root causes of friction.

    Maintaining a stable, sustainable, and mutually beneficial economic relationship with China is in the interests of the United States itself. Decades of mutually beneficial cooperation in trade, services, and mutual investment have brought concrete benefits to businesses and people on both sides. Despite recent tensions, the foundation of common interests remains strong.

    China has consistently held that trade and economic disputes should be resolved through rational and respectful dialogue, rather than through pressure or threats. Unilateral coercion does not resolve problems, but only increases tensions, increases risks, and undermines the long-term interests of both sides.

    The meeting in Geneva is a positive step forward in bilateral trade and economic relations, which helps lay the foundation for continued dialogue.

    China is pleased to see dialogue resumed, but is fully prepared for the fact that resolving differences between the two countries will be long, complex and labor-intensive.

    Beijing and Washington should maintain the current momentum of dialogue, keep differences under control, build consensus and strengthen trust through equal consultations.

    More importantly, China and the US must take a longer-term perspective and a broader vision when approaching the world’s most important bilateral relationship, taking into account the fundamental well-being of their peoples and the overall picture of global peace and prosperity.

    Strengthening cooperation based on mutual benefit and resolving differences on the basis of mutual respect is not only the responsibility of China and the United States, but also what the international community expects from them. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: NSU Startup Studio participants created a system of auto-censorship of video and audio on the Internet

    Novosibirsk, May 13, 2025: Students Institute of Intelligent Robotics Nikita Zelenkov, Yan Komarevtsev and Ilya Trushkin of Novosibirsk State University, members of the NSU Startup Studio, created the ACMS Censor system, which automatically hides unwanted content in video and audio files. The new service is aimed at both ordinary users and content authors, as well as large media companies, online cinemas and video hosting sites. The project was curated by NSU IIR graduate Maxim Yemelyanov.

    According to the developers, the system automatically recognizes scenes with smoking, obscene language, signs of extremist materials and content 18. It automatically covers such fragments with a mosaic or “beeps” – without human intervention.

    — We are creating a solution that will allow publishing safe content that does not violate platform rules and legislation. Our system filters materials before publication so that authors do not have to do it manually, — said the team representative Ilya Trushkin.

    When starting this project, the developers carefully studied the market for the presence of similar services.

    — At the moment, we have not found similar solutions on the market. Most existing tools are limited to photo format, require manual moderation or simply notify about the presence of violating content. Our system goes further — it hides unwanted elements automatically, which simplifies publication and increases the security of content, — explained Ilya Trushkin.

    This solution may be of interest to media platforms that are primarily responsible for content. With the help of this service, they will be able to automatically bring third-party content that reaches them into compliance with legal requirements.

    The team is currently finalizing deployment setup and testing product integration. The service will be available in two versions: a free one for regular users and a commercial one for large companies. The free beta version will be publicly available on May 19. by link.

    The launch of the first versions of corporate solutions is planned for August. In this version, the system will be installed locally on the corporation’s servers and developers will not have access to it, which will increase the security of its use by the client company.

    The creators of the service also reported that they are open to partnership and are actively looking for investors to scale the project.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Why China “Sees the Future”

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

    If you came to Shanghai, which would you choose: Disneyland or Huawei’s Lianqiu Lake R&D Center?

    Not long ago, Thomas Friedman, a columnist for the American newspaper The New York Times, faced such a dilemma. In the end, he decided that Huawei’s research center was “the real world of the future” and went to Lianqiu Lake.

    What makes this research center so attractive? It is located in the pilot area of the Yangtze River Delta Ecological Integrated Development Demonstration Area. Its total investment exceeds 10 billion yuan, and it can accommodate tens of thousands of researchers and developers.

    According to Friedman, the favorable environment is “designed to attract the best Chinese and foreign talent in science and technology.” At a time when the global economy faces many uncertainties, the vitality and creativity of the center are especially attractive.

    It is not only Huawei that attaches importance to research and development and creates a favorable environment. In recent years, more and more companies have gradually moved towards the production of high-end products, intelligent products, and green products through technological innovation. In 2024, China’s total R&D expenditure exceeded 3.6 trillion yuan, the second highest in the world.

    In the face of increasingly fierce competition in science and technology, all industries are increasing investment in science and technology, intensifying research and development, demonstrating confidence in modernization and the future.

    It is this trend of transforming from the “world’s factory” to the “global innovation hub” that makes people pay more attention to the importance of China in the global innovation system.

    So it is not hard to understand Friedman’s sentiments: “Basically, the Lianqiu Lake R&D center is Huawei’s response to the US’s attempts to strangle the company.” China is actively innovating, boldly creating, openly accepting new things, and putting more effort into breakthroughs in advanced technologies and improving industrial quality.

    At the same time, foreign companies are also gaining confidence in China. From negotiations to signing a contract, it takes only six months; from the start of construction to completion, it takes only one and a half years… The speed of construction of Carlsberg’s production base in Foshan’s Sanshui District gives the company the opportunity to expand its business.

    The market is here, and in the face of the “small courtyards with high walls” policy, strength and will are important. By turning pressure into motivation, China is choosing to be more open, united, and energetic. Yiwu City in Zhejiang Province is a good example to watch. Those who have talked to Yiwu entrepreneurs have noticed that they do not complain, but discuss ways to solve problems.

    LONDON, May 13 (Xinhua) — Foreign ministers and officials from Britain and the European Union met in London on Monday but failed to reach a major breakthrough on the situation in Ukraine.

    The talks reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring Ukraine’s security, including the creation of a coalition of air, land and sea “assurance forces”, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said.

    The foreign ministers of France, Spain, Germany, Italy and representatives of the European Commission stressed that the suspension of hostilities remains a prerequisite for further diplomatic progress.

    However, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy refrained from commenting on the sequence of a possible ceasefire.

    Monday’s meeting is seen as part of preparations for the upcoming UK-EU summit scheduled to take place in London next Monday. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Greater Bay Area Plus ASEAN: Hong Kong Explores New Development Space

    “Hong Kong and ASEAN countries have strong economic and trade relations, and the Chinese community in Southeast Asia is closely connected with the Greater Bay Area.” Cai Guansheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee and Chairman of the China Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Hong Kong, described Hong Kong’s unique position as follows: “The left hand is the Greater Bay Area, the right hand is ASEAN.” He added: “Companies from other cities in the Greater Bay Area can team up with Hong Kong entrepreneurs and enter the global market together.”

    Since early April, the US has been wielding its tariff baton without authorization, and Hong Kong, a free port, has been subjected to groundless attacks. In the past few years, Hong Kong has been actively integrating into China’s national development strategy by participating in the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area; on the other hand, it has been strengthening trade and economic ties with overseas markets, including ASEAN countries, using its unique advantages to overcome the crisis and explore new opportunities for growth.

    Building the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is Hong Kong’s Major Opportunity

    Against the backdrop of the US tariff abuse, Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive Li Jiachao stressed that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has a population of about 87 million and a regional GDP of over 14 trillion yuan. “The state is the greatest opportunity and the greatest certainty for Hong Kong,” he said.

    HKSAR Secretary-General Chen Guoji added that the Hong Kong government actively supports local companies and talents to tap into the boundless business opportunities in the Greater Bay Area, and encourages Guangdong enterprises to leverage Hong Kong’s comprehensive advantages and professional services to accelerate their entry into the global market.

    Expanding Trade Share with ASEAN: Finding New Partners and Markets

    In addition to actively integrating into the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong is actively exploring the ASEAN market, taking advantage of the “one country, two systems” system, free and open economy, and advantageous geographical location. All this allows it to play an important role in rebuilding global supply chains. Hong Kong and ASEAN countries have broad cooperation opportunities and common interests,” Li Jiachao said.

    According to data released by the HKSAR government, ASEAN countries’ share of Hong Kong’s market has grown from 7.4% in 2018 to 8.7% in 2024, second only to China’s hinterland. Since 2019, ASEAN has overtaken the United States to become Hong Kong’s second-largest export market.

    Accelerated adoption of various measures and expansion of development prospects

    In addition to strengthening trade ties with China’s hinterland and ASEAN countries, Hong Kong has taken a range of measures, including firmly adhering to free trade policies, promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, actively pursuing scientific and technological innovation, and advancing international financial cooperation.

    Hong Kong SAR Financial Secretary Chen Maobo recently said that many multinational enterprises are investing in Hong Kong, viewing it as a bridge between China’s hinterland and the world. Hong Kong has always adhered to the rule of law, an internationalized and friendly business environment, an inclusive culture, and provides access to the world’s most dynamic consumer and innovation market – China’s hinterland.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: “China is the best era for entrepreneurship for me” – Russian entrepreneur

    TIANJIN, May 13 (Xinhua) — Sipping coffee in her office in the Tianjin Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ), 36-year-old Russian Svetlana Olkhovikova is intently checking information on orders from partners in Russia, Uzbekistan and other countries.

    With her excellent command of Chinese and experience in foreign trade, she established and registered two foreign trade companies in Tianjin, a port city in northern China.

    Tianjin Ruidehe Machinery Trading Company, founded in September 2023, is engaged in the export of agricultural machinery, and Hesu Biopharmaceutical Company, established in March 2024, is engaged in cross-border trade in medical equipment and components.

    “Both companies have already established cooperation with enterprises in more than 20 countries and regions around the world, including Russia, Kazakhstan and the Republic of Korea,” Svetlana said fluently in Chinese.

    “China has been the best era for entrepreneurship for me,” she added. From choosing an office location to registering companies, from extending a work visa to home service when opening a bank account, she was always amazed by the efficiency of the local government and its humane approach to entrepreneurs.

    As a foreign entrepreneur, she had to learn Chinese laws and the tax system, which was not easy, but the government’s service provision gave her confidence and peace of mind.

    “My grandfather used to say that the hospitality of the Chinese is like a flame that never goes out. By creating my business in Tianjin, I finally realized that this is not an exaggeration, but a reality,” the businesswoman shared.

    In choosing China for business, she valued not only the favorable business environment, but also the country’s mega-market, sophisticated production and supply chain system, and ever-improving conditions for innovation.

    “The Chinese market is huge, many quality products are becoming increasingly popular abroad. People from all over the world can find many development opportunities here,” said S. Olkhovikova. During her entrepreneurial activities, she deepened her understanding of China’s economic development and strengthened her confidence in the “Made in China” brand.

    “Our cooperation with Chinese companies is going very smoothly. Chinese partners are pragmatic and efficient, produce inexpensive and high-quality goods, and offer customized solutions – all thanks to China’s powerful production capabilities and high level of professionalism,” the entrepreneur stated with confidence.

    Svetlana’s family, believing that China has enormous development potential, fully supports her business ventures. “My uncle runs an agricultural processing company in Russia, and my company in China can supply him with high-quality equipment, especially powerful tractors,” she continued.

    Svetlana spent her childhood in a village a few hundred kilometers from Moscow. Her father was a farmer, her mother taught at school, and Svetlana, who was raised by her grandmother, often heard stories about China. “My grandmother said that the Chinese are kind, my grandfather told me about the Confucian principle of ‘the joy of meeting a friend who has come from afar’, and my uncle advised: ‘Only by acquiring more knowledge can we expand our horizons’,” she said.

    In 2005, S. Olkhovikova entered Voronezh State University /VSU/ to major in International Relations. Learning about China from books and lectures, she became interested in this country.

    In 2008, she first came to China on a six-month Chinese language program organized by Qingdao University and VSU. Later, while working for a Russian trading company, she became even more fascinated with China thanks to active business contacts with Chinese partners.

    Years later, after careful consideration, Svetlana decided to pursue an MBA at Tianjin University. She was attracted by the university’s rich history and recognized the practical value of its curriculum for researching China’s economic development. She visited agricultural machinery manufacturing plants in Tianjin to explore the potential for Sino-Russian cooperation in the agricultural sector through the “customization of production plus localization of services” format.

    Now that she has established her business in China, she continues to implement this idea. Despite being very busy, Svetlana continues to persistently study Chinese and get to know the country better.

    “There are many opportunities in China. The openness and inclusiveness here provide fertile ground for enterprising people from all over the world. The Chinese say that if the circumstances are right, expressed in the right time, the right place and the support of the people, people around you will lend a helping hand if you boldly seize the opportunities of the times,” she added.

    “I believe that a wonderful future awaits me. And I am ready to contribute to the promotion of cooperation between Russia and China,” Svetlana said. -0-
