BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — China will introduce a national child care subsidy system from this year as part of efforts to improve the childbearing support system and promote high-quality population development, Lei Haichao, head of the National Health Commission, said Thursday.

As of Wednesday, more than 80 percent of eligible applicants had completed registration through online and offline channels, he said at a press conference introducing China's progress in healthcare during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025).

According to a plan released earlier by the general offices of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the State Council, from January 1 this year, Chinese families will receive an annual childcare subsidy of 3,600 yuan (about US$506.8) for each child – whether first, second or third – until they reach the age of 3.

Over the past five years, economic support for child care has been expanded in many aspects. Child care and upbringing for children under 3 years old has been included in the additional deductions from individual income tax, and the deduction threshold has been raised from 1,000 yuan per child per month to 2,000 yuan, said Guo Yanhong, deputy head of the NRC.

She added that all provincial-level administrative units in China now include assisted reproductive technology projects in the reimbursement program for services provided under medical insurance, along with other measures such as free pre-school education and housing support.

According to her, the rate of regular check-ups for pregnant women, women in labor and newborns across the country remains above 90 percent. The Chinese official noted that comprehensive services in the entire process of childbirth have been improved, including the mechanism for screening high-risk pregnancy and special treatment for high-risk pregnant women and women in labor.

Chinese parents are also being given more time to care for their babies and young children. Guo Yanhong said maternity and parental leave have also been extended in all provincial-level regions across the country. -0-

BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — China ranked first in the world in the number of patents issued for inventions in key sectors of the digital economy in 2024, with the growth rate significantly exceeding the global average, the State Intellectual Property Administration (SIPA) of China said on Thursday.

As noted by the department, the number of patents issued for inventions in these industries last year reached 500,000, which is 23.1 percent more than the year before.

The data was released at the 14th annual intellectual property conference held in the country, entitled “Intellectual Property in the Digital Age.”

The GUIS highlighted progress in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, stating that China has become the world's leading country in terms of AI-related patents, accounting for 60 percent of the global total.

CHANGCHUN, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — Learning Chinese, exploring local attractions, and taking dumpling-making master classes were just some of the activities on the agenda for 72 students and faculty members of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) during their visit to Changchun, the capital of Northeast China's Jilin Province. The three-week educational camp, carefully planned by Jilin University of Foreign Studies, gave the Russian students a chance not only to learn about Chinese culture in class, but also to see and experience China in their daily lives.

One evening, the campers visited the Siji Nanhe Riverside Park, located on the bank of the Yitong River in Changchun, to enjoy a light and sound fountain show, have coffee and snacks at a bustling market, and take memorable photos on a beach with unusual pink sand.

The Russian guests were pleasantly surprised that this modern recreation area was created with care for the environment. They highly appreciated China's approach to "green" development and innovation in the field of cultural tourism. "This pink beach is simply magnificent! It is something unique, I definitely want to come here with my family," shared her impressions student Irina, who speaks fluent Chinese.

“We have been organizing this camp for the second year in a row. China and Russia are friendly neighbors, and the northeastern region of China borders Russia. The interest and enthusiasm of students to participate in these trips is very high, and the number of those wishing to participate is growing,” said Song Dandan, Director of the Institute of International Exchanges and Head of the Department of International Exchange and Cooperation at Jilin Foreign Studies University. She also noted that “the format of study tours is very effective, and students are no longer limited to lectures in classrooms, but visit various Chinese cities and villages to see the country with their own eyes, participate in its life and communicate with locals. This allows them not only to truly experience the charm of Chinese culture, but also to make new friends.”

The city of Hunchun, located in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture of Jilin Province /Northeast China/, where the borders of China, Russia and the DPRK converge, has seen a surge in the popularity of educational tours for Russian schoolchildren. In anticipation of the new school year, Hunchun Secondary Schools No. 3 and No. 4 are actively preparing to host students from Russian schools for educational and familiarization trips and excursions.

According to Yu Mei, deputy director of the Hunchun City Department of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism, study tours are in great demand among Russians because they offer a rich program and the results obtained after their stay are simply excellent. “Learning calligraphy, studying kung fu, practicing Chinese… The richness and depth of Chinese culture attracts more and more Russian teenagers,” she noted.

In March of this year, a group of more than 40 teenagers from the Russian city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur visited Hunchun on an educational tour dedicated to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

At the Hunchun TCM Hospital, Russian schoolchildren visited the TCM pharmacy, learned about acupuncture, moxibustion and other specific treatment methods, tried herbal teas and studied traditional Chinese health fitness exercises “Ba Duan Jin” /”Eight Pieces of Brocade”/ in practice. During the visit, the children showed genuine interest in medical culture and a desire for knowledge.

“Acupuncture is pure magic! I had a stuffy nose and the doctor put two needles in my nose. After a while, my nose actually cleared up! It’s incredible,” said Russian teenager Sergey. Holding his own moxa sticks, he added that the trip to China gave him a lot of new knowledge and helped him better understand China and its medical culture.

According to Han Shimin, the curator of this study tour and the person in charge of Han Yi Jiu Moxibustion Clinic, such international educational tours allow Russian friends to get to know Chinese medical culture and Chinese youth closely. They provide an opportunity to exchange knowledge and interact, which in turn significantly expands the popularity and influence of Chinese medical traditions and iconic intangible cultural heritage.

In addition to Jilin Province, 18 border cities in Heilongjiang Province (Northeast China), including Heihe, Mohe, Fuyuan, Dongning, Mishan and Hulin, have actively taken advantage of the border rivers and lakes and ports bordering Russia. They have made significant efforts to establish study tour routes and develop specialized tourism products that take into account the unique characteristics of the region. -0-

URUMQI, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — The Dulat Port of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has received its 100,000th inbound passenger since the beginning of 2025 as of Tuesday, 103 days earlier than last year.

During the reporting period, passenger traffic through this checkpoint increased by 56.9 percent year-on-year, and the number of vehicles passing through it in both directions rose by 73.6 percent to more than 56 thousand units.

The Dulata checkpoint is located just 247 km from the Kazakh city of Almaty and is an important transport hub connecting China with Central Asia and Europe.

As the Belt and Road Initiative progresses and thanks to the mutual visa-free regime between China and Kazakhstan, cross-border tourism through the Dulata checkpoint is gaining momentum.

“Customs clearance here is very convenient, all procedures took less than ten minutes, which indicates the high efficiency of the border crossing,” said one of the Chinese tourists who decided to visit Kazakhstan.

According to the data from the border control service of the Dulata checkpoint, there has been a significant increase in the incoming and outgoing tourist flow through the checkpoint since the beginning of this year. It is expected that by the end of the year the figure will reach 150 thousand person-times, which is about 44 percent more than last year. -0-

BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — China plans to launch human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination services for women of relevant age and include the vaccine in the national immunization program this year, the National Health Commission said Thursday.

In accordance with the Vaccine Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, the country implements a national immunization program under which vaccines are provided free of charge to residents.

In recent years, more and more regional governments across the country have been implementing free HPV vaccination programs, in which girls, mostly between the ages of 9 and 14, are vaccinated with a domestically produced vaccine.

Calls to add HPV vaccination to China's national immunization program have grown in recent years, driven by the wider availability of inexpensive domestic vaccines and growing concerns about cervical cancer.

HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer and a serious threat to women's health. Health experts believe that vaccination remains the most effective and affordable way to prevent infection and reduce the risk of cervical cancer and related diseases. -0-

ZHENGZHOU, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — With the global launch of Apple's iPhone 17 series, China's advanced manufacturing ecosystem is once again playing a key role in bringing Apple's latest products to markets around the world.

At the center of these efforts is Foxconn's Zhengzhou plant, capital of Henan Province in central China, one of the world's largest iPhone assembly sites and a symbol of the country's electronics manufacturing scale.

The plant is operating at full capacity, expanding its workforce to meet global demand for Apple smartphones. Long lines of applicants form outside the recruiting center every morning, indicating the high demand for labor needed to produce the new iPhones.

"The recruitment center has been receiving thousands of applicants daily since the end of July, and this situation is expected to continue until the end of September," said Fan Siming, assistant deputy head of the human resources department of Foxconn's Zhengzhou Comprehensive Bonded Zone.

As a major hub for high-end iPhone production, Foxconn's Zhengzhou plant plays a key role in meeting international demand. At the peak of iPhone production, Foxconn typically employs tens of thousands of workers, many of whom work short-term in assembly, quality control, and packaging roles, taking advantage of China's vast human resources and sophisticated infrastructure.

“A three-month job at Foxconn is expected to earn my wife and me more than 40,000 yuan (about $5,600), which is much higher than the average income in Henan Province,” Zhao Yanhui, a Henan resident who has just started working at Foxconn for the first time, told Xinhua.

He also expressed hope that the company's personnel training program will help him stay at the plant for a long time.

“Henan Province, with a permanent population of nearly 100 million, provides Foxconn with sufficient human resources,” Fang Siming emphasized, adding that the company has enjoyed strong support from local authorities in the construction of workshops, recruitment of personnel and efficient logistics for more than a decade.

The long-standing partnership has helped expand the scale and speed of Apple's global supply chain, with analysts adding that Zhengzhou's strategic location and advanced logistics network further enhance the chain's efficiency.

From Zhengzhou, newly assembled iPhones are shipped around the world via the multimodal air-rail-road transportation system. As a major transportation hub in Central China, the metropolis serves 8 intercontinental air cargo routes, linking more than 100 cities in 24 countries in Europe, America and Asia.

At the Zhengzhou plant, scale and innovation are evident at every turn. Often referred to as a “city within a city,” the factory complex includes more than 10 areas of worker apartments and a canteen that can accommodate 12,000 people at a time, complete with AI-powered automated kitchens. This combination of efficiency and worker well-being helps maintain consistent productivity and meet strict production schedules.

“With Foxconn’s production lines running, the goal is clear,” said Sun Xuemin, head of Zhengzhou University’s Center for Enterprise Research. “This massive, coordinated effort in China is the engine that turns innovation into a tangible product ready for delivery to consumers around the world.” -0-

XIAMEN, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — Global investors are increasingly pouring their money into sustainable development and emerging markets, according to participants at the Future Investment Conference held Monday as part of the 25th China International Investment and Trade Fair in the coastal city of Xiamen in east China's Fujian Province.

As noted at the event, this shift comes amid global challenges. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) World Investment Report 2025, foreign direct investment (FDI) worldwide fell by 11 percent in 2024, marking the second consecutive year of decline.

Pedro Manuel Moreno, Deputy Secretary-General of UNCTAD, noted at the conference that the key challenge is not just mobilizing investment, but also channeling it to where it is most needed. “It is important that capital flows to where it is most needed and can have the greatest impact,” he stressed.

At the opening ceremony of the conference, Vice Minister of Commerce of China Lin Ji emphasized the growing role of "green" industries. "Green has become the basis of international investment," he said.

He also pointed to new opportunities in photovoltaics, wind power, carbon capture and electric vehicles, noting that a third of China's electricity is already generated from renewable sources.

More than 20 percent of the country's steel is made from recycled scrap, and China's fleet of new energy vehicles (NEVs) has exceeded 30 million units, he added.

The global energy transformation is irreversible, said Xu Zhonghua, vice president of TotalEnergies China. A recent report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that global energy investment will reach $3.3 trillion this year, with two-thirds of that going to clean energy projects.

Meanwhile, business insiders believe that capital is spreading across more diverse regions, with emerging markets such as ASEAN and Africa gaining momentum. According to UNCTAD’s World Investment Report 2025, FDI inflows to ASEAN countries grew by 10 percent in 2024, while Africa saw a staggering 75 percent growth.

During the event, Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol described his country as a “natural bridge between China, ASEAN and the rest of the world,” highlighting the country’s strengths such as its numerous free trade agreements and commitment to sustainable growth.

Obaid Amran, CEO of Moroccan Ithmar Capital, noted that Africa, despite the lack of funding, offers high returns on investment, highlighting the strong interest in the manufacturing, energy, digital and logistics sectors.

While participants acknowledged persistent challenges such as trade protectionism and investment barriers, the prevailing view was that international cooperation remains the leitmotif of investment.

“If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together,” Sun Chantol quoted an African proverb. -0-
