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-

On December 10, the Hong Kong-based Asia Times published an article titled “China Leads Industry 4.0, India Hopes to Join in.”

The strategic challenge India faces is not whether China will lead Industry 4.0, as this is already a reality, but how China's leadership will impact India's own development, as Indian manufacturers are highly dependent on Chinese technology.

China has pioneered the implementation of intelligent "dark factories" in the electronics and electric vehicle industries. These fully automated factories operate 24 hours a day, using precision equipment systems controlled by artificial intelligence and requiring virtually no human intervention.

To meet growing global demand for high-tech products, Chinese manufacturers of electric vehicles, mobile phones, and semiconductors are investing in fully automated factories. Despite the enormous capital investment, true "dark factories" can save 80% to 92% of direct labor costs in production.

Without automation, India will be unable to industrialize. Without robots and digital manufacturing systems, its labor-intensive export model will lose its competitiveness. India's electronics design and manufacturing ecosystem remains heavily dependent on Chinese components.

Although Indian factories typically use the "Made in India" label, the "brains" of the machines often come from China. Indian mobile phone manufacturers rely heavily on Chinese imports, including components, displays, processors, camera modules, and semiconductors.

Artificial intelligence will become the "operating system" of Industry 4.0. Chinese companies are actively developing their own core models, such as ERNIE Bot and Tongyi Qianwen, which are directly applicable to industrial ecosystems. Chinese AI-based industrial software is characterized by lower costs and a high degree of integration, and has undergone extensive field testing unmatched by other countries.

Moreover, in terms of total cost of ownership, a complete Chinese industrial AI system is already 25-40% cheaper than any open source or Western analogues.

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, have celebrated their 100th day of operation.

The China-SCO Green Industry Cooperation Platform exhibition hall features digital equipment and interactive displays. Achievements such as the China-SCO Joint Laboratory for Digital and Intelligent Applications and the China-SCO Integrated Digital Economy Service Platform are showcased. Visitors can explore the "digital perspectives" of the SCO countries in this exhibition hall.

These prospects are becoming a reality. In Uzbekistan, an artificial intelligence system in "virtual classrooms" is eliminating the time and space constraints of vocational training; in Kyrgyzstan, intelligent products integrating production and education based on AIGC (generated artificial intelligence) have become a driving force in local vocational education; in Kazakhstan, real-time digital twin technology is operating within a modern chemical industrial park…

At the SCO summit in Tianjin, an agreement was reached to focus efforts on implementing cooperation projects in the digital economy, advancing the construction and modernization of digital public infrastructure, facilitating the digital transformation of key economic sectors, as well as training highly qualified personnel and enhancing digital skills.

Recently, through the China-SHO digital economy cooperation platform, Fitow (Tianjin) Detection Technology Co., Ltd. received a clear request from a Russian concrete mold manufacturer who wanted to integrate artificial intelligence and high-precision sensor technology into their project.

"Successfully implementing digital technologies abroad often requires precise alignment with needs and adaptation to local standards. The collaboration platform has allowed us to bypass numerous 'detours' in technical cooperation with SCO countries," said Gao Chun, public relations representative at Fitow (Tianjin) Detection Technology Co., Ltd. Following close coordination between the parties, the company successfully secured the contract for this project from Russia.

As cooperation expands within the China-SCO Digital Economy Cooperation Platform, China and the SCO member states are leveraging their resource potential and geographical advantages to jointly create a new, future-oriented digital cooperation space for mutual benefit. -0-
