BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — At a press briefing on Tuesday, Chinese Minister of Industry and Information Technology Li Lecheng cited the Chang'e lunar mission, China's Tiangong space station, the domestically-made C919 passenger plane, the launch of the luxury cruise ship Adora Magic City, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which filled a domestic gap in vital medical devices, as examples.

According to him, this shows that China is quickly moving from “following” to “leading” and increasingly “leading” the world.

But the list of achievements was not limited to aerospace and heavy equipment. Li Lecheng then moved from engineering feats to molecular science, highlighting new cancer treatments, with globally recognized “star products” like Brukinsa (zanubrutinib) providing further evidence of this growing momentum.

This particular drug exemplifies that shift. Developed by Chinese pharmaceutical company BeOne Medicines Ltd. and widely hailed by the industry as the country’s first “billion-dollar molecule,” Brukinsa is considered a potential best-in-class BTK inhibitor that has been approved in 75 markets, including the U.S., Europe, and Japan. The company’s self-developed drugs have already helped more than 1.8 million patients worldwide.

The breakthrough reflects a decade-long transformation. China's innovative drug sector has shown clear success in terms of the number of drugs in clinical trials and the quality of first-in-class drugs, according to data from brokerage Tianfeng Securities.

The brokerage's research note found that this acceleration is based on a unique combination of advantages – the presence of complete industrial supply chains, a deep pool of engineering talent, improving fundamental research and large-scale, sustained investment in R&D.

Such investments are visible across the economy. Spending on innovation has been steadily increasing, with large manufacturing firms with annual operating income of at least 20 million yuan (about $2.8 million) each spending more than 1.6 percent of their operating revenue on R&D over the past five years.

Thanks to these efforts, more than 570 industrial companies have entered the global top 2,500 in R&D spending, and 64 Chinese manufacturing companies have entered the Fortune 500 list in 2024, Li Lecheng noted.

This focus on R&D directly translates into advanced automation and modernized manufacturing. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), 46 Chinese cities are launching new technological transformation projects in test mode. China now accounts for more than 50 percent of newly installed industrial robots in the world, the minister emphasized.

The manufacturing frontier is also expanding. Li Lecheng noted that China now has the capability to manufacture humanoid robots in a complete cycle, covering key chips, components and general assembly. At the same time, the applications of brain-computer interfaces are expanding beyond medicine and finding new applications in education and industry.

This rapid progress has long attracted international attention. Juha Renning, vice president of euRobotics, recently called China the world’s largest robot market due to its widespread industrial adoption and described the country’s progress in robotics as “miraculous.”

He also called for deeper cooperation between Europe and China in the robotics supply chain. “I think if we make a joint effort, it will be a win-win situation,” he added.

Such industrial partnerships are already expanding around the world. For example, China National Chemical Engineering Corporation recently signed an agreement with Kazakhstan’s QazaqGaz Science and Technology Center to implement a major coal-to-gas project. This partnership will leverage China’s leading coal chemistry and equipment manufacturing technologies to convert Kazakhstan’s abundant coal resources into clean natural gas.

This ability to undertake complex international projects is underpinned by unrivaled manufacturing capabilities. From 2021 to 2025, China's manufacturing value-added output is expected to account for over 30 percent of global manufacturing growth, and the country is set to maintain its position as the world's largest manufacturer for the 15th consecutive year.

China's key advantage is its systemic completeness, covering the vast majority of the 504 major industrial product categories recognized worldwide and occupying a leading position in the world in terms of production volumes for most of them.

This global market leadership was on display at IFA Berlin 2025, Europe’s largest consumer electronics trade show. The event highlighted the latest trends in artificial intelligence, sustainability and digital transformation. Chinese companies were a hard-to-ignore presence, with more than 690 companies taking part – more than a third of all exhibitors.

Nelson Holzner, CEO of MODIFI, noted that Chinese home appliance manufacturers are demonstrating a clear international position and are actively seeking mutually beneficial cooperation with global partners.

That view is shared by international executives with long experience in China's vast, dynamic market. Morii Guo, chairman of Yamazen Shanghai Trading Co., Ltd., noted that his company has been in China since 2002 and serves more than 10,000 businesses locally.

“China is the world’s most dynamic major manufacturing country and a source of innovation in the knowledge and digital industries,” Morii Guo said.

That consensus was reinforced Tuesday by a report from the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, which found that as the transformation of global supply chains accelerates, driven by economic shifts, trade protectionism and technological change, China is successfully upgrading its role from “the world’s factory” to a global supply chain hub.

Underpinning this hub status at the diplomatic level, China has jointly launched an initiative with a number of countries to enhance the resilience and stability of industrial and supply chains, aiming to protect global supply chains and develop more inclusive and stable partnerships, Li Lecheng concluded. -0-

On September 3, Beijing held a celebration of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. International media outlets closely followed the events and unanimously noted that the military parade demonstrated China's significant progress in military development. Amid the ongoing tensions in the global situation, China is sending a strong signal of its commitment to peace and international cooperation.

The British Broadcasting Corporation BBC, the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal, the British newspaper The Guardian and other leading media published photo reports capturing the exciting moments of the military parade.

The American newspaper The Wall Street Journal reports that the parade demonstrated coordination and military might: more than 10,000 troops and hundreds of units of ground equipment took part in the grand parade on Beijing's Chang'an Street.

A reporter for Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao newspaper, reporting from the parade, noted that the parade featured cutting-edge weapons, from strategic nuclear forces "capable of striking anywhere on Earth" to hypersonic "carrier killers" and AI-powered stealth drones and underwater drones. The report emphasized that China displayed not only military hardware, but also a powerful capability for the rapid production of advanced and diverse weapons.

The American magazine Foreign Policy, in an article titled “China’s Military Has Brought a Lead,” writes that today China has become an innovator and technology leader in robotics, electric vehicles, solar energy, drones, high-speed rail, and artificial intelligence. The military parade on September 3 convincingly confirmed that military technologies should be added to this list. The article notes that the military parade became a relevant demonstration of China’s military power and an opportunity to look into its future.

The Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail reports that the grand military parade in Beijing not only demonstrated China's defensive might to the world, but also underscored its growing diplomatic influence.

The Indian newspaper Telangana Today points out that the event was organised to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Despite the ongoing tensions in the global situation, China sent a strong signal of its commitment to peace and international cooperation.

The article recalls that during the World Anti-Fascist War, China was the first to join the resistance and waged it the longest. The Chinese theater of military operations held back and repelled the main forces of Japanese militarism for a long time. Losses among the Chinese military and civilian population exceeded 35 million people, which is about a third of the total victims of World War II.

The editor-in-chief of the Russian magazine National Defense, Igor Korotchenko, in an interview with the Sputnik news agency, said that the military parade demonstrated that China is a first-class military power and has a developed military-industrial complex.

Another article by Sputnik, citing experts, notes that the military parade on September 3 became a centralized demonstration of China’s military might, as well as a peace manifesto addressed to the world.

Experts stressed that the military parade demonstrated China's ability and determination to safeguard national sovereignty and world peace. In the context of the intertwined changes and instability of the international situation and the rising unilateralism and hegemony policies, the parade sent a strong signal to the international community to preserve the post-war international order and defend multilateralism.

Qatar's Al Jazeera TV channel said the parade was a show of military might and China's historical memory. The key point is not to impress the world, but to send a clear message: China has not shied away from showing off its strength in the past or now, but it has not shied away from dialogue either.

BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — Walk into any Xiaomi store opened overseas this year, be it in Germany, Japan or the Republic of Korea, and you will find more than just the Chinese tech giant's flagship smartphones.

The shelves are lined with connected devices: wearables, smart TVs, robot vacuums, home appliances and electric scooters, all working in tandem to showcase an AI-powered smart living ecosystem – a shining example of the latest trend driving the global expansion of Chinese smart device brands.

Backed by robust supply chains and cutting-edge AI innovation, companies like Xiaomi, iFlytek, Lenovo, and Huawei have moved beyond competing solely on the price of their products. Today, they aim to become an integral part of the daily lives of global consumers, seamlessly integrating into living rooms and offices, and even the cars people will drive in the future.

“AI-enhanced capabilities and full ecosystem synergies are emerging as key trends driving the global expansion of Chinese smart device brands,” said Evan Kirchheimer, chief research officer at technology research and consultancy Omdia. “AI is fundamentally changing the way consumer electronics interact with users — and with each other.”

Xiaomi’s global journey perfectly illustrates this shift, according to Zeng Xuezhong, Xiaomi’s vice president and president of international business. In its early days, the company focused almost exclusively on smartphones to enter international markets. But since 2018, it has gradually expanded its product lines to include other smart devices, with the goal of creating a product ecosystem characterized by the integration of smartphones and the AI of Things (AIoT).

This year, Xiaomi began its first major expansion into overseas markets for large home appliances, entering Southeast Asian countries. It also announced plans to export electric vehicles by 2027.

“Our goal is to gradually build a global human-car-home ecosystem where smartphones, cars and home devices are seamlessly connected,” Zeng Xuezhong said. “This will be a key pillar to help strengthen our next phase of globalization with the characteristic feature of exporting business models.”

Xiaomi is far from alone in this AI- and ecosystem-driven global expansion. Leading Chinese AI company iFlytek reported in its H1 2025 report that overseas sales of its AI hardware more than tripled year-on-year, with its AI laptops gaining notable favor with consumers in Japan and the Republic of Korea.

iFlytek Chairman Liu Qingfeng identified three growth drivers for the company's global expansion: overseas launch of large AI models, integrated AI hardware and software products, and globalization of the ecosystem.

Industry data from Omdia – formerly Canalys – paints a promising picture for the sector. Shipments of AI-powered consumer electronics, including AI phones, AI PCs, and AI headphones, are forecast to exceed 500 million units in 2025, accounting for 40 percent of all consumer electronics sold worldwide. Chinese brands are already standing out in these fast-growing categories.

Omdia data shows that in Q2 2025, international shipments of AI-equipped smartphones from Chinese brands increased by 195 percent year-on-year, with Xiaomi, Honor, and Oppo leading the way. In the AI PC space, 30 percent of all global PC shipments in Q2 were AI-enabled PCs, with Chinese tech company Lenovo taking a 21 percent share of the segment.

E. Kirchheimer noted that the success of Chinese brands is due to two key factors. First, their complete supply chains and large-scale production, which allowed them to respond quickly to global demand while keeping production costs competitive and delivering on time. Second, their impressive investments in innovation – especially in AI, system-level synergies and intelligent sensor technologies.

The global expansion is also fueled by policy support. In a recently released directive, the Chinese government set clear targets for AI adoption: by 2027, the adoption rate of intelligent terminals and next-generation intelligent assistants should exceed 70 percent, and by 2030, this figure should rise to over 90 percent, as AI becomes the cornerstone of China’s high-quality economic development.

To take advantage of these opportunities, Kirchheimer says market participants need to double down on innovation – releasing new products for niche markets and deepening the use of AI technologies in devices to continuously improve interactions between different devices and enhance the user experience.

“Chinese brands were once known for their affordability,” he said. “Now they are known for their innovation. Tomorrow they may be known for the ecosystems that make their devices indispensable.” -0-

Ganzi County is located on the West Sichuan Plateau, with an average altitude of about 3,500 m. It used to be almost disconnected from the outside world due to its remote location. Later, the highway went deep into the mountains, allowing many to set out in search of their dreams, but some never returned to their homeland. Today, the new generation of Ganzi youth is rewriting history. They are returning to the foothills of the snow-capped mountains from afar, bringing a new rhythm of the era to the ancient land of Ganzi.

At the Qinle workshop in Maisu Township, Ganzi County, artisans polish copper items while manager Dawa Drolma checks goods for shipment. This batch of goods will soon leave Ganzi for Switzerland.

Dawa Drolma was born into a family of coppersmiths. She studied business at university abroad. After returning to Ganzi, she and her brother took over the family workshop. She said, “I left to come back better. I want to use my strength to make my hometown a better place.”

Dawa Drolma incorporated Xizang folk tales into her design concept and helped more than 30 other local handicraft workshops embark on a market-oriented business path. Today, their products are sold both domestically and internationally.
