BEIJING, March 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2025 opened in Boao, a small town in China's southernmost province of Hainan, on March 25.  Wisdom Without Borders: Sugarcane grows from the same stalk, and lemongrass thrives in clusters Since its establishment over two decades ago, the BFA has been committed to promoting economic cooperation and shared development in Asia and the wider world. Themed Asia in the Changing World: Towards a Shared Future, this year's conference, which concluded on March 28, focused on promoting multilateralism, fostering openness and growth, and addressing global challenges with a special emphasis on Asia's development. "Sugarcane grows from the same stalk, and lemongrass thrives in clusters." In 2022, Xi quoted this Indonesian saying twice--once in his address at the opening ceremony of the BFA Annual Conference in April and again at the First Session of the 17th Summit of the Group of 20 in Bali, Indonesia, in November. The quote underscores a fundamental truth: Only through unity can we achieve shared prosperity. The global community must recognize that division and rivalry benefit no one, and that only by pursuing solidarity and common development can we stay on the right path. Since the dawn of this century, Asia has enjoyed relative stability as well as sustained and rapid economic growth. The region has also seen accelerated economic integration, deepening cultural ties and expanding cooperation in technological innovation, as well as the robust development of digital and green economies. Meanwhile, continuous upgrades in both policies and infrastructure have strengthened connectivity across the continent. Through the collective commitment of Asian nations and their peoples, the region has solidified its position as a powerhouse of global development and an oasis of peace. The world is undergoing a pivotal transition. However, despite all the great shifts and uncertainties, Asia remains a key driver of global economic growth. As the world looks to the region for continued momentum, it is imperative that Asia does not become a battleground for great power rivalry. Instead, it should stand as a model for international cooperation. A key member of the Asian family, China has solidified its role as a pillar of the region's stability, an engine driving economic growth and a cornerstone of regional security. The world can only thrive when Asia prospers. To build Asia into a better place to live in, fully leverage its resilience, wisdom and strength, and make the continent an anchor of peace, a source for growth and a new frontier for cooperation, all Asian countries should work in tandem to address shared challenges. As we all inhabit the same planet, we should work toward a community with a shared future for humanity by championing the ideals of peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit and by standing united against all difficulties. Asian nations should come together more closely than ever to set the stage for further growth and continue to drive the universal pursuit of peace and progress.

BEIJING, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from China.org.cn on some stories of the people in Xizang:  Three generations of “Lhamo” and a brand-new Xizang During China's "two sessions" earlier this month, Penpa Lhamo, a member of CPPCC made her proposals concerning the development of her hometown, Xizang Autonomous Region. Lhamo, meaning "fairy," is a common name for women of the Tibetan ethnic group, and it also appears in the names of Penpa Lhamo's mother and grandmother. However, the three generations of "Lhamo" have had completely different life trajectories. Grandmother Lhamo was once a serf of the lowest status in Xizang. Back then, serfs like her had no freedom at all, working endlessly for food barely enough to live, and almost impossible to keep warm, let alone the luxury of education. As the offspring of a serf, Phurbu Lhamo, mother of Penpa Lhamo, was born into the same fate, and began to work for the Tibetan nobility since she was six. After the democratic reform, serfs and slaves, who accounted for 95% of Xizang's population at the time, finally gained freedom, ownership of production materials, and the opportunity to build better lives while enjoying various rights. The mother, Phurbu Lhamo, one of the beneficiaries of the change, acquired the chance to receive education in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province before returning to work in Xigaze City. When it came to Penpa Lhamo, life in Xizang had improved significantly, and educational policies among others became more comprehensive. Penpa Lhamo smoothly obtained her bachelor's degree, before pursuing further education and earned her master's degree and PhD, during which time she also went on academic exchanges in Norway and the U.S. Now, she is not only deeply engaged in law and South Asian studies, but she also conducted repeated research on grassroots communities, so that she can offer more valuable insights for her hometown Xizang's development. From regaining freedom and becoming the masters of their own destinies, to meeting basic needs and receiving education, and ultimately pursuing further development and even participating in the discussion of state affairs, the journeys of these three generations of Tibetan women also reflect the tremendous changes in Xizang over the past six decades or so. In Xizang today, food like tsampa, meat, fruits and vegetables that were once out of reach except to the nobility have become everyday staples. In residential communities, spacious and well-kept Tibetan-style buildings have mushroomed. The once almost isolated Xizang now enjoys continuous improvements in transportation and communication infrastructure, while the advancements in digitalization and smart technology are within easy reach. A robust social welfare system, including the medical care insurance, offers a safety net for the elderly in Xizang, easing concerns over illness and elderly care; the 15-year free education policy enables children to attend preschool to high school free without fear of having to drop out. Schools in Xizang offer curriculum in both Mandarin and Tibetan; ancient Tibetan texts are carefully preserved; and intangible cultural heritage including Tibetan medicine and Tibetan opera continue to be passed down and innovated… Bright sunshine has truly lighted up the snow-capped plateau, and bathing in such sunshine are numerous young and vibrant faces thriving in Xizang. Kelsang Pedron, the first Tibetan female in China's PLA Air Force can confidently fly a fighter jet. Tenzin Yeshe, a young Tibetan opera performer has committed himself to preserving and innovating this rich intangible cultural heritage. Young cyclist Kalsang Chophel rides along with Xizang's mountain bike team, chasing his dream… In each of them lies a promise of a brighter tomorrow for Xizang. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Xizang Autonomous Region, and on March 28th, the people of Xizang celebrate the Serfs' Emancipation Day. Have the people of Xizang enjoyed abundant human rights for the past six decades or so? The stories of these individuals, and the futures they are building, all speak for themselves.

BEIJING, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from China Daily: Advanced technology and top scientific achievements are in the spotlight at the 2025 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference, which opened on Thursday in Beijing, attracting over 1,000 guests from more than 100 countries and regions. Humanoid robots attract the attention of a guest during the 2025 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference at the Zhongguancun International Innovation Center in Beijing on Thursday. The conference, with the theme "New Quality Productive Forces and Global Science and Technology Cooperation", opened on Thursday and will run through Monday. It has attracted more than 1,000 participants from over 100 countries and regions to discuss cutting-edge technologies. WANG JING/CHINA DAILY The five-day event, also known as the ZGC Forum, features 128 activities in five major areas: forums, technology trade, achievements, innovation competitions and supporting events. This year's theme is "New Quality Productive Forces and Global Science and Technology Cooperation". While addressing the forum's opening ceremony, Vice-Premier Zhang Guoqing said that China is willing to work with other countries to explore new models of mutually beneficial and win-win sci-tech cooperation, in order to drive the development of new quality productive forces amid the deepening new round of sci-tech revolution and industrial transformation. China has been deeply implementing an innovation-driven development strategy and achieving fruitful results in the integration of sci-tech and industrial innovation, while continuously strengthening the momentum of new industrialization and steadily developing new quality productive forces, Zhang noted. Suliman Almazroua, CEO of Saudi Arabia's National Industrial Development and Logistics Program, who attended the opening ceremony, said, "The forum is highly international, which is a great platform for global science and technology researchers to communicate their views and young technology company leaders to seek opportunities." "I would use 'innovation through collaboration' to summarize this forum," he said. "There are people from various sectors, and we can find potential partners here." Almazroua, who is in Beijing for the first time, said he is eager to see more at the event. This year's conference places a strong emphasis on cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, life sciences, green development and basic research. Sixty parallel forums will be held, with 20 initiatives launched for the first time, including the Open Science International Forum and the Ocean Science and Development Forum. More than 30 international organizations and institutions are co-hosting 18 events, with numerous leaders participating in discussions. Ma Juan, CEO of Steinbeis Sustainable Technology and Management Beijing Co, noted that this year's forum focuses on cutting-edge technologies. "In the past year, we selected 12 cutting-edge technologies among the 60 globally to cooperate deeply with local Beijing companies, which has promoted a local industrial upgrade," Ma said. AI and humanoid robots are major highlights at this year's forum and have generated significant interest among the participants, who can encounter robots at the forum venue engaged in such activities as serving drinks, answering questions, delivering items and even writing calligraphy. Nearly 100 robots from 15 companies are deployed at the site, according to the organizer. "We aim to make the Zhongguancun Forum's annual meeting a grand stage for the concentrated display of new technologies, products and scenarios," said Jin Wei, vice-mayor of Beijing, at a news conference last week. At Thursday's opening ceremony, the National Natural Science Foundation of China released a list of the country's top 10 scientific advances of 2024. The advances were mainly achieved in the fields of mathematics, physics, astronomy, information science, chemistry, materials science, energy, Earth and environmental science, and life and medical science. The ZGC Forum, founded in 2007, has evolved into a national-level open innovation platform as well as an international forum.
BEIJING, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, an American YouTube sensation known as "IShowSpeed," who has 37 million followers on the platform, has streamed his trip to China live for six hours in a row. Through his lens, overseas netizens see a China of friendly people, clean streets, and "ridiculously fast internet speeds." The two families - one from China and the other from the US - that touched hundreds of millions of netizens by posting photos to each other on RedNote have met each other in Shanghai. The images of the two generations exchanging gifts and enjoying the amusement park together prompted netizens to exclaim, "Isn't this just how the world is supposed to be?" From the online celebrity's "China Travel" to "Say Hi" on RedNote, the heat of people-to-people exchanges between China and the US is unabated, and there has always existed a stable and great demand for exchanges and a friendly foundation between the two countries."Amity between people holds the key to sound relations between countries" - The vigorous vitality of China-US people-to-people exchanges is the vivid stories of countless individuals who measure with their feet, record with their lenses and interact with their hearts.When IShowSpeed held up his cell phone and sang "Sunshine, Rainbow, White Pony" with young Chinese people, when foreign "ordinary people" shared China's food, beautiful scenery and interesting experiences and insights through their lens, the global audience felt the friendliness and closeness of China in laughter. When more American people are moved by the real China and choose to join the "China Travel" army to remove the "filter," the digital age has given the people of the two countries new channels for communication and also contributed to the "snowball" effect of China-US exchanges. The life of people-to-people exchanges has a strong vitality precisely because it is rooted in the most basic resonances of human nature: the convenience of the mobile network, the streets that make people feel safe even late at night and the friendly and hospitable Chinese people who are completely strangers. These images do not intentionally render anything, but allow the viewers to naturally feel the intersection of an ancient civilization and modern innovation.Similarly, when Chinese netizens asked their American friends to help revise their English compositions and when both sides used "cat tax" to break the ice and interact with each other using popular memes, cultural differences, instead, have become a catalyst for better understanding, and this kind of interaction across borders just proves the power of sincerity and authenticity.The desire of the people in China and the US to "make more visits and exchanges" has always provided important momentum for the stable advancement of bilateral relations. The deeper significance of promoting people-to-people exchanges lies in the fact that the younger generation is becoming the main force behind these interactions.A previous Pew Research Center poll showed that the percentage of Americans aged 18 to 29 with negative views of China is 11 percent lower than the average. According to a 2023 report by The Economist, Americans under the age of 45 are relatively less likely to view China as an "enemy." Whether it's the friendship trees planted by Iowa middle school students and their Chinese partners, the exchange visits between Jingshan School and Newton Public Schools resuming after a five-year hiatus, or the high school student delegation from Washington State singing the Chinese song "On the Fields of Hope" at Tsinghua University High School, these moments suggest that future China-US relations will be built upon more shared memories created by the next generations in both countries.At the recently concluded China Development Forum 2025, about one-third of the representatives of the 86 multinational companies were from the US, the largest proportion of any country. China has consistently upheld an open and inclusive stance, creating opportunities for more foreign friends to visit and understand the country as well as for more foreign businesses to deepen their presence in the Chinese market. Mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation are the right way for the two great powers, China and the US, to get along with each other, and they also apply at the grassroots level.The hope of the China-US relationship lies in the people, its foundation is in our societies and its future depends on the youth. Encouraging more interactions and communication between the people of China and the US and allowing genuine voices to cut through the fog of prejudice is both the call of the times and the direction for the future. When more individuals, like IShowSpeed and the "RedNote families," build bridges with sincerity, every grassroots encounter will write a new chapter of possibility. By reaching out to each other, the people of China and the US demonstrate that the door to better bilateral relations is opened by the people - and once opened, it will not be closed again.
Fortune to unveil the 100 Most Powerful Women in Business list on May 20 The Most Powerful Women International Summit will convene the world's top women leaders to explore "A New Era for Business: Partnering for Global Prosperity" NEW YORK, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fortune announced today that the Fortune Most Powerful Women International Summit will convene in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 20-21, 2025, marking the first international summit in the region for the female leadership franchise.
