London, September 17 (Xinhua) — Britain and the United States agreed on a multi-billion-dollar technology deal during US President Donald Trump's state visit to accelerate the development of fast-growing areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and nuclear energy, the British government announced on Tuesday.

According to the official statement, the Technological Prosperity Deal aims to accelerate AI research to create new drugs, faster treatments, and improved cancer therapy, as well as support civilian nuclear projects.

As part of the agreement, Microsoft will invest US$30 billion in AI infrastructure in the UK, while Google will open a data centre in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, as part of a two-year, multi-billion pound investment in the country.

However, critics warn of Britain's growing dependence on the US and American technology and the potential consequences.

The American publication Politico quoted Gaia Marcus of the independent Ada Lovelace Institute, who warned: “We shouldn’t focus only on today’s numbers if price is tomorrow’s technological dependency, limiting our ability to explore alternatives in the future.”

Chi Onwurah, Chair of the House of Commons Science, Innovation and Technology Committee, said: “True technological sovereignty cannot mean dependence on one investor or country.”

Donald Trump arrived in London on Tuesday evening. This is his second state visit to the UK. Nearly 100 protesters gathered on the streets near Windsor Castle on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday, chanting slogans against the visit and waving signs reading "Stop Hate, Stop Trump" and "Hate Never Made a Nation Great."

Tens of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets of London on Wednesday to protest against the US president, according to the Stop Trump Coalition.

Geneva, September 17 (Xinhua) — China ranked 10th in the World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO) 2025 Global Innovation Index, moving up one place from the previous year and entering the top 10 for the first time. WIPO released the data on Thursday.

Switzerland leads the current ranking, followed by Sweden, the United States, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Finland, the Netherlands, Denmark and China.

The report also emphasizes that China maintains its global leadership among middle-income economies, demonstrating consistently high R&D spending, high-tech exports, and innovation output. For the third year in a row, China has ranked first in the number of science and technology innovation clusters in the global top 100. There are 24 Chinese clusters on the current list, with Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou taking first place globally for the first time.

Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Oceania remain the driving force behind global innovation in 2025, with six countries from these regions entering the top 25.

The WIPO report also points to uneven performance in leading indicators of future innovation activity. "While we see encouraging signs of recovery in areas such as innovation adoption and impact, the global innovation engine is not operating at full capacity. Slowing growth in R&D investment and declining venture capital activity remind us that innovation requires sustained early-stage support and reliable financing," WIPO Director General Daren Tang stated in a press release.

The Global Innovation Index (GII) 2025 report, published by WIPO, assesses the innovation performance of nearly 140 economies using some 80 indicators, including R&D expenditures, venture capital deals, high-tech exports, and intellectual property applications. –0–

Tehran, September 17 (Xinhua) — Iran has always viewed diplomacy as the only solution to its nuclear issue, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated in a phone conversation with his French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot on Tuesday.

HONG KONG, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) will set up a task force to support enterprises in China's mainland to enter overseas markets, HKSAR Chief Executive Li Jiachao said Wednesday while delivering a policy speech.

According to Li Jiachao, the HKSAR administration will also establish a comprehensive platform to encourage inland enterprises to use Hong Kong to expand their presence in the overseas market.

Noting that enterprises in China's interior are actively stepping up their efforts to enter overseas markets, Li Jiachao emphasized that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) is prepared to leverage Hong Kong's advantages as an export platform to open up new hubs for economic growth.

HONG KONG, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) is committed to establishing "partnership ports" with China's inland regions of strategic importance for cooperation, as well as with regions participating in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Chief Executive Li Jiachao said on Wednesday.

In his keynote address, Li Jiachao noted that the HKSAR administration is actively expanding freight delivery sources by promoting intermodal freight transport from inland provinces and cities in China to international markets via the HKSAR via rail, sea, land, and river.

Currently, cargo arriving from the cities of Chongqing and Chengdu can be sent by rail or sea to Yantian Port in Shenzhen or Beibu Bay in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and then on to the Kuiqing Container Terminal, which fully utilizes the advantages of the respective ports, ensuring mutual benefit, Li Jiachao cited as an example.

“We also intend to require all vessels providing methanol bunkering services in Hong Kong waters to install mass flow meters within the next year to improve bunker efficiency.” “We will also amend the Merchant Shipping (Registration) Ordinance next year to make registration processes more flexible and digital,” he said. -0-
