TIANJIN, December 25 (Xinhua) — At the SCO summit held in Tianjin, northern China, China announced the establishment of six practical cooperation platforms, three of which are located in Tianjin. From their official opening on September 2 to December 10, the China-SCO Green Industry Cooperation Platform, the China-SCO Digital Economy Cooperation Platform, and the China-SCO Vocational Education Cooperation Center, all located in Tianjin, marked 100 days of operation.

In the lobby of the China-SCO Vocational Education Cooperation Center, the numerous results of this collaboration are astounding: China has built 12 Lu Ban workshops in nine SCO countries, including Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan; the EPIP training model, developed in Tianjin, is promoting vocational education in SCO countries; and a platform for applying artificial intelligence technologies in industrial applications, created in China, has been implemented at the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University in Kazakhstan.

On September 2, the opening ceremony of the China-SCO Vocational Education Cooperation Center was held at Tianjin Vocational Normal University. The center's secretariat, located at the university, is responsible for the specific tasks of its establishment and day-to-day operations.

"The goal of establishing the cooperation center is to deepen cooperation between SCO countries in the field of vocational education, expand academic exchanges and cooperation in education and scientific research, improve the overall level of vocational education and training in various countries, and promote the socio-economic development of SCO member countries," said Zhao Wenping, Director of the Institute of Vocational Education at Tianjin Vocational Normal University.

In the corridor of the secretariat's office area, a five-meter wall with a work schedule catches the eye – a tight schedule and several tasks being carried out in parallel form a visual "Gantt chart".

Longer-term efforts are also ongoing: deepening the integration of education and industry in SCO countries, conducting international training for technical specialists and qualified personnel, enhancing the competencies of vocational education teachers, promoting international certification, and developing standards in this area.

"By sharing high-quality resources and standards of Chinese vocational education, we are facilitating the joint creation and implementation of a vocational education system adapted to regional development. Moreover, through educational cooperation, we are strengthening the foundation for rapprochement between peoples, promoting exchanges and the interpenetration of various cultures," noted Mi Jing, Vice-Rector of Tianjin Vocational Normal University.

BEIJING, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) — Japan's unrestrained development of satellite jamming technology is accelerating the weaponization and militarization of space and fueling an arms race in outer space, which is extremely dangerous and unpopular, Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang said Thursday.

Thus, at a regular press conference, Zhang Xiaogang responded to a media inquiry about Japan's claims of significant advances in technologies that could disrupt the operation of other countries' satellites, as well as a media analysis warning of the risk of a possible "space Pearl Harbor" plot.

Zhang Xiaogang said that maintaining lasting peace and security in outer space is vital to the security, development and prosperity of various countries.

Given that Japan's vicious warlords once launched surprise attacks from the rear and that the country is now pursuing an offensive space policy, it is not surprising that concerns are growing about a possible repeat of the Pearl Harbor scenario, Zhang Xiaogang said. -0-
