CGTN: China reaffirms economic confidence, vows to remain global growth engine

BEIJING, Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Heads of major international economic organizations hailed China's remarkable economic achievements and expressed confidence that China will remain a global growth engine as they gathered in Beijing for the "1+10" dialogue. Chinese President Xi Jinping met with them on Tuesday, reaffirming China's economic confidence and pledging to expand openness to provide more development opportunities for the world. The biggest engine of world economic growth Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, highlighted China's economic achievements, saying after more than 40 years of sustained and rapid development, the Chinese economy has ushered in a phase of high-quality development, contributing around 30 percent to the world economic growth. Xi said China has complete confidence in achieving this year's economic growth target and will continue to play its role as the biggest engine of world economic growth. A World Bank report in 2022 revealed that from 2013 to 2021, China accounted for an average of 38.6 percent of global economic growth, surpassing the combined contribution of the G7 countries, making it the leading driver of global economic growth. According to the National Bureau of Statistics in October, China's GDP in the first three quarters of 2024 reached 94.97 trillion yuan (about $13.09 trillion), reflecting a 4.8 percent year-on-year growth at constant prices. Xi pledged that China will further open up to the outside world, proactively align with high-standard international economic and trade rules, and build a market-oriented, law-based and internationalized business environment to boost global economic growth. He also noted the significant progress in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) over the past decade, saying that the initiative builds a bridge for shared development between China and the world. Xi welcomed international economic organizations to participate in the BRI to promote the modernization of all countries. So far, China has signed BRI cooperation documents with over 150 countries and over 30 international organizations. Data from the Ministry of Commerce showed that by the end of 2023, Chinese companies had established 17,000 overseas enterprises in countries participating in the BRI, with direct investment stock exceeding $330 billion, while the overseas economic and trade cooperation zones built under the initiative had created 530,000 local jobs. Building an open and fair global economic system During Tuesday's meeting, Xi underscored the major challenges facing the international community, firmly objected to decoupling and protectionism, and emphasized the importance of global cooperation in building an open global economic system. He called on countries to prioritize innovation, seize opportunities in areas such as the digital economy, artificial intelligence, and low-carbon technologies, and support the cross-border flow of knowledge, technology, and talent to create new drivers of economic growth. He strongly opposed approaches like building "small courtyards with high walls" and "decoupling and severing supply chains," saying it would harm oneself and others. As global trade faces headwinds from protectionism and geopolitical tensions, China has continuously expanded its opening-up policies, making significant strides in further integrating its economy with the global market. One of the key measures was the implementation of the new Foreign Investment Law in 2020. The law enhances intellectual property rights protection, ensures a level playing field for foreign enterprises, and promotes a more transparent and fair business environment. Additionally, in recent years, the country has drastically relaxed foreign capital restrictions in the financial services industry, allowing greater foreign participation in banking, securities, insurance, and asset management sectors. China has also completely lifted foreign investment restrictions in the manufacturing sector and launched pilot projects in the telecommunications and healthcare industries to expand foreign investment opportunities, signaling China's determination to build a more open, inclusive, and equal global economy. Discussing the importance of building an open global economy, Xi addressed China-U.S. relations. He said China is willing to maintain dialogue, expand cooperation, and manage differences with the U.S. government, expressing hope for the steady, healthy, and sustainable development of bilateral ties. "Tariff wars, trade wars, and sci-tech wars go against the trend of history and the laws of economics, and there will be no winners," he said.

SEA-TEP Model: A Foundational Blueprint for Teacher Education and Development, Elevating Regional Education onto the Global Stage for Worldwide Transformation

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 December 2024 - Teachers are the cornerstone of shaping future generations to tackle 21st-century challenges. Recognizing their pivotal role, SEAMEO STEM-ED (The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization Regional Centre for STEM Education), through the Chevron-funded education initiative, has launched the SEA-TEP (Southeast Asian Teacher Education Program) in Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia to equip teachers with essential practices to deliver high-quality instruction related to STEM, setting a benchmark for regional and global education transformation through teacher education and development from the upstream. Numerous reviewed literature identified critical gaps in pre-service teacher programs, including insufficient focus on effective pedagogies, lack of effective classroom practices and inadequate professional capacity to adopt quality STEM learning units. Recognizing these challenges, the SEA-TEP program was launched in January 2023 with a mission to transform teacher education through a STEM-focused approach. This initiative, driven by collaboration among policymakers and teacher education institutions, aims to provide pre-service and in-service teachers with professional training and innovative curriculum standards. The program seeks to equip students with essential STEM competencies and implementing lesson study using the high-quality STEM learning units, which are embedded with Three-Dimensional Learning including scientific and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas and crosscutting concepts. Under scientific and engineering practices, claim-evidence-reasoning approach and modelling are used to foster students with critical thinking and analytical skills, ability to draw conclusions, create a conceptual model, justify them as well as develop evidence-based argumentation skills which are needed to effectively tackle 21st century challenges. The key question remains: "How can different countries with specific needs implement this model to align with their national priorities?" The Project presented in Thailand at the recent launch event of the Thai-US Joint-Degree Sandbox for STEM Teacher Education program under the SEA-TEP initiative during late November marked a significant milestone in Thai education, demonstrating a major milestone in how the nation has integrated the practices and curricular standards framework introduced by SEA-TEP into its curriculum and teaching approach through their partner universities. Thailand's implementation highlights the SEA-TEP model as a proven and adaptable framework, capable of advancing STEM teacher education on a global scale. First-hand insights from regional educators who have implemented the SEA-TEP model further validate its impact. Mr. Daryn Saiynov, The Head of Caravan of Knowledge, an educational organization in Kazakhstan, stated: "In Kazakhstan, the SEA-TEP program has brought a transformative opportunity to align our teacher education system with international standards. Since joining three years ago, we've seen remarkable progress in integrating STEM principles into our curriculum, despite the unique challenges of adapting the model to our context, where science is traditionally divided into physics, biology, and chemistry. Through this program, our educators have embraced interdisciplinary approaches, with some becoming role models for the nation. For instance, one teacher participating in SEA-TEP recently won a national award as one of the top ten educators in the country, inspiring a new generation of teachers. Currently, we are collaborating with one university to implement this initiative, and with the success of SEA-TEP, we aim to expand partnerships to more major universities in the future, further strengthening STEM teacher education and fostering innovation across the country." Similarly, Indonesia has adopted the SEA-TEP model to address its unique educational landscape. Dr. Murni Ramli, Coordinator of Professional Working Group, FKIP, Sebelas Maret University (UNS), shared: "Since joining in 2023, we have embraced the challenge of adapting lesson units to our current curriculum, redesigning topics like water quality, climate change, diseases and genetics to suit local contexts while fostering critical thinking and evidence-based reasoning. While shifting teaching mindsets is challenging, open-class practices and intensive training have shown promising results. With strong teacher training networks, we aim to expand this approach across Indonesia, ensuring the modules localized under SEA-TEP can reach educators across the country. By building these foundations, we are preparing our students not just for academic success, but to become global citizens ready to address pressing local, national, and global challenges." Building on the outstanding success of the long-running Chevron Enjoy Science program – an eight-year initiative to strengthen STEM education in Thailand in which SEAMEO STEM-ED managed its second phase for three years, the organization leveraged its expertise and networks cultivated through the Chevron-funded program to lay the groundwork for SEA-TEP. Zamira Kanapyanova, General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Eurasia Pacific, Chevron, emphasized the company's commitment to education development, stating, "As a multinational energy company, Chevron recognizes the vital role of STEM education in preparing the future workforce with practical skills and creative problem-solving abilities. Through the Chevron Enjoy Science project in Thailand, we adapted U.S. expertise in STEM education for local schools and vocational institutions, achieving proven success. Building on this foundation, we've partnered with SEAMEO STEM-ED to improve STEM education across the region through evidence-based policies and the SEA-TEP project with an aim to strengthen teacher preparation and teacher development in networking countries. By empowering teachers, we aim to inspire children to tackle real-world challenges and create lasting impacts in their communities." Dr. Kritsachai Somsaman, SEAMEO STEM-ED Centre Director, emphasized the SEA-TEP program's sustainability for future adoption, stating, "The SEA-TEP model is more than just a framework; it is a transformative solution for reshaping teacher education through collaborative efforts across regional networks. SEAMEO STEM-ED's role is to support partners in developing STEM learning modules rooted in evidence-based policies and strengthened by regional cooperation. By building the capacity of educational leaders, we positioned SEA-TEP as a scalable model that provides critical insights to enhance STEM capabilities and unlock student potential. Our goal is to empower teachers and faculties to design and implement STEM-focused learning units for both pre-service and in-service educators by 2025." SEA-TEP is now entering its next phase, which will place focus on integrating core practices and STEM learning units into pre-service teacher practicum programs and supporting in-service teachers through an open-class professional learning community. Looking ahead, the SEA-TEP program seeks to strengthen regional collaboration and extend its implementation to more countries. It aims to serve as a foundational blueprint for advancing teacher education and spearheading the next wave of global education transformation.

Global Times: Integrating into the national development strategy is essential for Macao: Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng

BEIJING, Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 20, Macao will celebrate the 25th anniversary of its return to the motherland. Over the past 25 years, Macao's economy has grown rapidly, people's livelihoods have continuously improved, social harmony and stability have been maintained, and the scope for development has become increasingly broad. Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng recently shared in an interview how Macao maintains stability and development under the framework of "one country, two systems," as well as how it interprets the strong vitality of this principle. Ho told the Global Times and other media that integrating into the national development strategy is essential for Macao. Macao actively supports the national development agenda and promotes deep cooperation with the mainland in various aspects, including economy, culture and society. The moderate diversification of the economy is accelerating, and Macao's international metropolitan "golden business card" shines brightly. Ho introduced the significant progress having been made in Macao in promoting cultural tourism, technological innovation, and the convention and exhibition industry during his tenure to the Global Times and other media. Ho stated that although many people believe that Macao's GDP primarily comes from the gaming industry, in reality, by 2023, gaming revenue has recovered to about 75 percent of the 2019 levels, but its share in GDP is only 37.2 percent, which is slightly above one-third. The proportion of key industries in moderately diversified economic development is gradually increasing, and Macao's economic structure is becoming more diversified and robust. For Macao, it is no longer a city dominated by the gaming industry. Macao's goal is to increase the share of non-gaming value-added to about 60 percent by 2028, said Ho. Macao is a small city, and due to historical reasons, its economy has remained primarily focused on the gaming industry since its return to the motherland, said Ho. However, with the changes of the times, we realize the need to promote a moderately diversified economy to meet future challenges, said the chief executive. He added that since taking office his government has prudently handled the revision of Macao's gaming laws and the new round of gaming concession bidding, implementing stricter regulations on the gaming industry and clearly defining the direction for the development of non-gaming sectors. Especially in the face of uncertainties such as the pandemic, a single economic structure is vulnerable to risks, which is why Macao is actively promoting the development of non-gaming industries, said Ho. In the past 25 years, the "tourism plus" integrated industry in Macao has developed rapidly. Ho introduced that in terms of tourism, Macao is committed to showcasing the city's unique charm, including the blend of Chinese and Western cultures, as well as its rich snacks and cuisine. Macao is actively working to become a cultural capital, promoting the development of the performing arts industry and achieving significant results. The increase in ticket sales has not only boosted the prosperity of the performing arts sector but also stimulated the growth of related industries such as retail, dining and accommodation. In the past two years, Macao's performing arts scene has thrived, attracting many international artists who enjoy performing in the city, according to Ho. The only drawback is that there are limited number of venues in Macao, with the best indoor arena accommodating 16,000 people, Ho told reporters. The Macao SAR government has passed a plan in the Legislative Assembly to build an outdoor venue that can accommodate 50,000 to 80,000 people, which is expected to be completed by the end of the year and planned to be operational next year, in order to meet the demands of large-scale events such as concerts by international superstars. Under the framework of "one country, two systems," Macao has maintained stability and development, demonstrating the strong vitality of this principle. Ho stated in an interview with media outlets such as the Global Times that during the first three years of governance, despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, work on the economy and people's livelihoods were not halted. The SAR government took this opportunity to vigorously promote infrastructure construction, addressing some past shortcomings. For example, the Macao Medical Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital was built over a period of more than three years, with a total area of 430,000 square meters, including its construction, decoration, and equipment setup, which has enhanced the level of medical services in Macao. New buildings for the Public Security Police Force headquarters and Customs headquarters were also constructed, and efforts were made to strengthen connectivity with Hengqin and other areas to prepare for the smooth flow of customs in Macao. The successive governments of Macao have maintained a good fiscal reserve, which provides strong support for infrastructure construction and social welfare projects. By utilizing these reserve funds to vigorously promote infrastructure development and social welfare initiatives, the quality of life and happiness of citizens have been improved. Ho stated that in terms of housing, the SAR government has been actively providing affordable housing and social housing to those in need. It has also implemented free medical and educational policies to enhance the living standards of residents. This has been the approach of successive SAR governments. After five years of effort, despite significant expenditures on infrastructure and social welfare, the current SAR government still has a considerable amount of fiscal surplus to hand over to the  next SAR government, and it has no internal or external debt, has not issued any bonds, and owes no payments to construction companies for infrastructure projects. The financial situation of the SAR government is very sound, which also creates important conditions for the long-term stability of "one country, two systems" in Macao, Ho underscored. During Ho's term, Macao actively maintained the national development framework and promoted deep cooperation with the mainland in various aspects, including economy, culture and society. In May 2021, the Working Committee for Integrating into National Development was established in Macao. When introducing the background, main functions and practical effects of this committee's establishment, Ho told media including the Global Times that "The establishment of the committee is primarily based on two major directions, and integrating into the national development framework is something Macao must do." Ho noted that the first major direction is that Macao, as an important node of the Maritime Silk Road, plays a significant role in the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). In order to better integrate and promote the construction of the BRI, the SAR government has established a dedicated team responsible for liaising and following up with countries along the Maritime Silk Road, as well as important nodes such as Fujian, and to promote the implementation of relevant cooperation projects. The second major direction is that, with the promulgation of the outline development plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, how Macao can better integrate into this framework has become an important task for the SAR government. To this end, the Working Committee for Integrating into National Development has been established, aiming to promote in-depth cooperation between the mainland and Macao in various aspects such as economy, culture and society. Ho introduced that the Working Committee for Integrating into National Development has played a positive role in promoting cooperation between the mainland and Macao since its establishment. The mainland and Macao have engaged in extensive cooperation in various fields, including the establishment of an investment zone in Guangdong-Macao in-depth cooperation zone in Hengqin. This cooperation has not only facilitated economic exchanges between the mainland and Macao but also deepened cultural and social ties between the two sides. Ho stated that after more than three years of efforts, significant achievements have been made, laying a foundation for future development.
