SHANGHAI, July 26 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Saturday said the international community should pay more attention to the joint governance of artificial intelligence (AI), calling for an early establishment of a global AI governance framework and rules based on broad consensus to guide the development and use of AI.

"China attaches great importance to global AI governance and actively participates in promoting multilateral and bilateral cooperation. We are willing to offer more Chinese solutions to the international community," Li Qiang said at the opening ceremony of the 2025 World Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the High-Level Conference on Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence in Shanghai.

According to him, the Chinese government is proposing to create a global organization for cooperation in the field of AI.

Li Qiang said that areas such as large language models (LLM), multimodal AI models and embodied AI are developing rapidly, driving the dynamic development of AI towards higher efficiency and powerful intelligence.

Li Qiang noted that AI has begun to empower various industries and households, becoming a new engine for economic growth. At the same time, the risks and challenges posed by AI have attracted widespread attention.

There is an urgent need to further build consensus on how to find a balance between development and security, he noted.

No matter how technology transforms, it must remain a tool in the hands of humanity, under its control, and develop towards the common good. AI is also intended to become an international public good that benefits humanity, Li Qiang emphasized.

Li Qiang called for more efforts to ensure universal access to AI so that more countries and groups can benefit from it. “China is willing to share its AI development experience and technology products to help countries around the world, especially those in the Global South, build their AI capabilities,” the Chinese leader assured.

The opening ceremony was attended by more than 1,000 officials and representatives from manufacturing organizations, universities and research institutes from China and abroad.

The conference presented an action plan for global AI governance. -0-

DALIAN, July 26 (Xinhua) — In the height of summer, workers at the Guozhanhao blueberry plantation in Lushunkou District of Dalian City, northeast China's Liaoning Province, began harvesting the crop as early as 5:00 a.m. to send boxes of high-quality blueberries from here to Russia.

Now is the blueberry harvest season. According to Yu Qingwen, the responsible representative of this plantation, this year the base has introduced cold greenhouse production, which has increased the blueberry yield by more than 50 percent compared to last year and brought the total production to more than 35 thousand kg.

It is reported that growing in cold greenhouses has such advantages as earlier ripening, high quality of berries and stable yield, in contrast to growing berries in open ground. Stable regulation of environmental factors, in particular temperature, humidity and light inside the greenhouse, can significantly reduce the negative impact of extreme weather conditions, diseases and pests on the quality and yield of blueberries.

“We are currently harvesting 1,500-2,000 kg of blueberries a day, and our main sales destination is Russia,” Yu Qingwen said, adding that after harvesting, the berries are transported by refrigerated trucks to the Suifenhe checkpoint in Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China, from where they can be delivered to Russia in a short time of 2 to 3 days.

This plantation started growing blueberries five years ago, at that time 13 thousand seedlings of two varieties "Bluecrop" and "Liberty" were brought from Dandong for trial planting in open ground. These varieties are very popular not only in the domestic market, but also abroad.

According to statistics, in 2024, the total area of blueberry cultivation in China exceeded 73 thousand hectares. Thus, China has become one of the countries with the fastest growth rate of production of these nutritious berries. -0-
