BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhua) — China's textile industry recorded steady growth in the first four months of this year, data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed Monday.

According to the agency, during the reporting period, the added value of products of the country's leading textile companies, whose annual income from core activities is at least 20 million yuan (about 2.8 million US dollars), increased by 4.2 percent year-on-year.

The combined operating income of the above-mentioned enterprises for the period was 1.49 trillion yuan, down 0.5 percent year-on-year.

Meanwhile, from January to April, the sector's leading retail chains posted combined sales of 6.4 trillion yuan, up 5.9 percent year-on-year.

In the first four months, the country's textile and clothing exports grew by 1.1 percent year-on-year to $90.5 billion.

Experts believe that despite the increasing volatility in the international market and the continuing domestic difficulties, the textile industry, as a traditional sector, still has a large production scale, wide market demand and high employment capacity. It continues to play a key role in supporting the economy and the well-being of the population.

According to an industry insider, many textile companies, under pressure from the difficult international environment, are stepping up their efforts to find and create new materials and are actively seeking to enter the premium segment of international production chains. -0-

BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhua) — A Chinese-developed robot dog managed to reach a speed of 10.3 meters per second during a TV show on Sunday, matching the world's best sprinters.

During the race, the four-legged robot nicknamed “Heibao” /”Black Panther”/, weighing 38 kg and standing 0.63 m tall, broke the previous world speed record for such machines, which belonged to Boston Dynamics and their robot WildCat.

A video broadcast by China Central Television shows Heibao reaching impressive speeds on a treadmill. Recall that Usain Bolt's world record for the 100m is 9.58 seconds, which translates to a speed of 10.44 m/sec.

Heibao was first unveiled in January of this year, when it demonstrated an astonishing step rate of 5 steps per second, making it one of the fastest quadrupedal robots in the world.

The new development was made possible by a collaboration between Zhejiang University's Innovation Institute, which specializes in humanoid robots, and Hangzhou-based startup Mirror Me.

The newly upgraded Heibao now outsprints most humans, but still lags behind other recognized land-based sprinters such as cheetahs, ostriches, pronghorns, etc.

In the future, it could be used for disaster relief and logistics. -0-

BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhua) — A thrilling kickboxing match between 12-year-old Sergey from Primorsky Krai and a local athlete took place at the Changchun Sports Complex in northeast China's Jilin Province on Thursday. After the final bell, the young fighters exchanged friendly hugs, showing respect for each other.

The fight was part of the martial arts festival “Youth and Martial Arts,” which brought together more than 240 young participants. Most of the Russian athletes represented Primorsky Krai, which borders Jilin Province.

In 1990, the city of Nakhodka in Primorsky Krai and the city of Jilin in Jilin Province became sister cities. Over the years, youth exchanges have been ongoing between the regions, and practical cooperation in the fields of economics, trade, logistics and tourism has been actively developing, yielding fruitful results.

This strong connection is especially noticeable in the border city of Hunchun in Jilin province. Russians can be seen on the streets everywhere, browsing Chinese goods at local shops. And local traders at night markets call out to customers in Russian with a slight northeastern accent.

Since the beginning of June, Zhou Yajuan, a tour guide at the Yutong International Travel Agency in Hunchun, has been receiving an average of over 200 Russian tourists a day. She said that most of them come from Primorsky Krai in groups for dental treatment and to get acquainted with traditional Chinese medicine, and their program is very busy.

At the Aizu Tang Chinese Medicine Center in Hunchun, Han Shimin receives over a thousand Russian guests every year. Certificates of appreciation in Russian hang on the walls of his office.

Over the past 35 years, economic cooperation between the regions has reached new heights. Every morning, refrigerated trucks loaded with Kamchatka crabs from Russia cross the Hunchun checkpoint and enter China. Sea corridors linking Hunchun via the Russian port of Zarubino with the Chinese ports of Ningbo, Shanghai and Qingdao have turned Jilin Province into a “city of seafood delicacies.” The Changchun-Hunchun-Europe freight train route passes through Primorsky Krai, closely linking the hinterland of Northeast China with the European continent. -0-
