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-

Denis Manturov visited the Scientific and Production Association of Automatics, part of the state corporation Roscosmos. With the General Director of NPOA Mikhail Izyumov

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov visited the Scientific and Production Association of Automatics (part of the Roscosmos State Corporation), one of the largest Russian enterprises in the field of development and production of control systems and electronic equipment for rocket and space technology. The First Deputy Prime Minister assessed the readiness of the control system for the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle.

Currently, NPO Avtomatiki is completing the manufacture of the control system for the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle. Denis Manturov visited the complex stand where the control system is undergoing development tests.

NPOA CEO Mikhail Izyumov said that the new main unit of the system is four times more compact and lighter than the unit for the Soyuz-2 launch vehicle. The use of a high-speed, productive onboard computer will optimize the communication between the rocket and ground launch equipment. This will simplify the process of preparing the product. The capabilities of the onboard computer will ensure the deployment of all test modes directly on board, and not on ground equipment. Mikhail Izyumov emphasized that the control system will be handed over for flight tests in accordance with the work schedule.

Also, for Soyuz-5, an emergency engine protection system for the first and second stages has been developed and is being manufactured, which will allow cyclically with a duration of several milliseconds to assess the state of the engine based on its operating parameters. The control will help to identify a possible emergency situation, prevent its further development and promptly issue a command to shut down the engine. In the event of an abnormal situation on the first stage engine, it will save the rocket and the launch complex, and during the flight of the second stage, if it is possible to continue the flight on one of the engine blocks, it will turn off two chambers of the emergency block, and two chambers of the second block will work. Such a scheme will be used for the first time on domestic rockets.

Denis Manturov was also presented with the capabilities of NPO Avtomatiki in the production of devices for unmanned agricultural machinery, equipment for the oil and gas production industry, as well as sensors and detectors.

Nine regions of the country have summed up the results of the regional stages of the federal program "Mom-entrepreneur", aimed at supporting women with minor children or on maternity leave. Participants received grants in the amount of 150 thousand rubles to implement their projects.

"For 13 years now, the "Mom-entrepreneur" program has been giving women the opportunity to successfully start a business. This year, the program is only gaining momentum: regional stages will be held in 59 more regions, with about 3.5 thousand women taking part. It is also planned to implement individual thematic tracks," noted Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Tatyana Ilyushnikova.

The program continues to inspire not only the participants, but also those who have already achieved success. Thus, within the framework of the forum of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives "Strong Ideas for a New Time", the partner and ambassador of the "Mom-entrepreneur" program, the finalist of the "Index of Business" rating, the co-founder of the cosmetics company ESTILAB Irina Amosova spoke about her business during a meeting with the President of Russia Vladimir Putin. Irina's company is a recipient of various support measures, from a place in a coworking space to R&D subsidies. This example shows how support at the start helps women scale up projects and bring them to the federal level. At this year's program, Irina will tell the participants how to grow their business within the legal framework, build long-term strategies, build environmentally friendly relationships with business partners and what to get inspired by.

At the regional stages, participants undergo an intensive course from certified trainers of the My Business Centers. During the week of training, they master key aspects of entrepreneurship, including business planning, marketing strategies, and ways to attract clients. The program also includes mentoring sessions with successful businessmen and individual consultations. In the final, mother-entrepreneurs defend their projects in front of experts, and the best of them receive grant support.

In 2025, the program underwent changes — now, when selecting, preference is given to projects aimed at developing key sectors of the economy. An example of such a business direction was the project of the winner from the Leningrad Region, Lyubov Pershina — a 3D printing studio. Her company produces components for industry and the automotive industry, and also creates souvenirs, toys and interior items.

"Participation in the program gave me an exchange of experience with interesting people. I have already opened a 3D printing and 3D modeling studio. Our advantage is high quality and precision. We make exclusive solutions!" – said Lyubov Pershina.

Inga Ankhimova became the winner of the regional stage in the Republic of Karelia. She won with the project "Ekovetvi" – a workshop for creating furniture and decor from living twigs. After receiving a subsidy and training at the Center "My Business", the woman was able to turn her hobby into a successful business. The participant dedicated her victory to her son, who will soon go to serve in the army.

"This business is love at first sight. Last year the program seemed scary, but now I am proud of my work and want to develop further," shared Inga Ankhimova.

Participants in the regional stages of the "Mama-Entrepreneur" program present projects in various business areas. For example, in the Rostov Region, Yulia Naumenko is developing the production of forged designer furniture "Aze le Rido", Alena Patrikeyeva is launching the toy factory "Dzhunto", Irina Chekulaeva – the production of raw-pressed oils "Davil". Professional dog handler Maryana Chernichkina presented an interesting project – a grooming studio and puppy school "Chernika".

The average age of female entrepreneurs is 33–40 years old, most of them are raising two children. These examples clearly demonstrate how the program helps mothers implement business ideas, combining entrepreneurship with caring for their families. The federal program "Mom-entrepreneur" is included in the list of tools of the national project "Efficient and Competitive Economy".

Psychologist from St. Petersburg State University in the podcast "Heinrich Terahertz": "Digital addiction – a new reality or a threat to thinking?" | St. Petersburg State University

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Saint Petersburg State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Smartphones and social media create the illusion of productivity, but in reality they drain the psyche. Constant notifications, endless scrolling, and the fear of missing out lead to chronic anxiety and a decrease in intellectual abilities. Children, whose cognitive functions are formed in conditions of hyperconnectivity, are especially vulnerable – their thinking may never reach full maturity.

Olga Shcherbakova explained why banning gadgets in schools (as in China, Australia and the EU) improves academic performance and socialization. Modern children, who are called "digital natives", lose their deep thinking skills because their brains get used to working in conjunction with external devices. Even educational content is not always useful – it is important to be able to distinguish educational materials from "digital fast food". A separate problem is "cognitive reserve": if thinking is not trained in youth, this can lead to early cognitive impairments in the future.

The world is not divided into those who are “dependent” and those who “control.” Most people simply do not realize how much their psyche has already merged with gadgets.

Leading researcher of the Faculty of Psychology of St. Petersburg State University Olga Shcherbakova

There is a way out: consciously limiting screen time, returning to analog forms of learning, and creating an environment where the brain is forced to work independently. But this requires efforts not only at the family level, but also at the level of the entire education system.

She explained how to regain your attention and help children avoid digital degradation, and whether it is worth waiting for government regulation or starting with yourself. And why even adults who consider themselves "confident users" are actually susceptible to digital addiction.
