LONDON, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he disagreed with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer over Britain's plan to recognize Palestinian statehood.

"I disagree with the Prime Minister on this," Donald Trump said at a joint press conference before the end of his second state visit to the UK, responding to a question about recognizing Palestine. "In fact, it's one of the few disagreements we have."

In July, Starmer announced that the UK would recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel took significant steps to end the conflict in Gaza. According to media reports, recognition is expected to be formalized the weekend after Donald Trump's state visit.

K. Starmer said at a press conference that the timing of this step “has nothing to do” with the US President’s visit.

Earlier on Thursday, the UK and the US agreed a multi-billion-dollar technology deal aimed at expanding cooperation in fast-growing sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing and nuclear energy.

As part of the agreement, Microsoft will invest $30 billion in AI infrastructure in the UK, and Google will open a data centre in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire.

Donald Trump concluded his visit to the UK and departed after a press conference. On Wednesday, he visited Windsor Castle, where he met with King Charles III. Protesters gathered outside the royal residence.

"The so-called special relationship [between the US and the UK] doesn't exist. Americans only care about their national interests. To them, all countries are the same; it's just a business deal," said satirical artist Kaia Mar outside Windsor Castle.

On Wednesday, thousands of demonstrators marched through central London to protest the US President's visit. Among the protesters' main slogans was criticism of US policy toward Israel and the conflict in the Gaza Strip.

Amanda flew in from Los Angeles that same morning to join the protests. “We don’t have good leadership, and I’m very concerned about the direction the United States and the world are heading,” she said. –0–

NANJING, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) — The Wuxi High-Tech Zone, a comprehensive bonded industrial zone in east China's Jiangsu Province, is home to numerous high-tech enterprises producing key products and components that drive the development of emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, 5G, and the Internet of Things.

Among them is Finisar Wuxi, a subsidiary of the American optical materials and semiconductor manufacturer Coherent. Founded in 2011 in a bonded industrial complex, Finisar Wuxi currently primarily produces optical transceivers and components for customers worldwide.

At a press briefing held in the zone this week, Finisar Wuxi announced the expansion of production capacity at its Wuxi site, with a total investment of approximately US$460 million.

Explaining the increased investment in the Wuxi production line, the company said it took advantage of the explosive growth of OpenAI and cloud computing from the second half of 2023 to develop advanced optical modules and expand production, despite trade and tariff challenges.

In February 2024, the company launched a new project, adding 8 million units of high-speed optical transceiver production capacity per year. According to the company, additional expansions include a recent application for an 8-million-unit 800G optical module production line and plans to manufacture optical switches (OCS) in Wuxi.

Data provided by the company showed that in the first eight months of this year, the company's industrial output reached 8.63 billion yuan (approximately $1.2 billion), a 29 percent increase compared to the same period last year. The company's combined import and export volume also increased by more than 26 percent over the same period, demonstrating robust growth.

According to a company source, the decision to increase production investment is driven by China's advantages in manufacturing and R&D. When making investment decisions, the company also considers whether it can achieve production goals within its limited resources and timeframe.

The source also explained that the key priority for Finisar Wuxi now is to find new sites within the zone to support expanded production.

With the rapid growth of emerging industries such as artificial intelligence in major markets including China, the expansion of production capacity in related industries reflects China's continued attractiveness to foreign investment, which stems from the country's industrial clustering effect and the advantages of a comprehensive supply chain, allowing companies to maximize output within a limited timeframe and with limited resources, local commerce officials said.

Wang Licheng, head of the Comprehensive Bonded Zone, highlighted the zone's clustering effect, driven by its strengths in integrated circuits, electronics and information technology, and optical communications. He reported that despite the challenging trading environment, the zone recorded a 26% increase in trade volume from January to August of this year, led by advanced technology sectors such as integrated circuits and optoelectronics.

Also located in the zone is Jabil Circuit /Wuxi/ Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of US-based manufacturing solutions provider Jabil, which provides design and manufacturing services across various sectors, including electronics, communications, the Internet of Things, and alternative energy.

Although trade tensions and weakening demand for electronics negatively impacted the company's exports last year, the company remains optimistic about a recovery in growth in the next few years, according to operations manager Zhao Songping.

He noted that Jabil Circuit is actively optimizing its development strategies, including strengthening partnerships with leading Chinese enterprises in the fields of renewable energy and communications, while accelerating the modernization of smart manufacturing and diversifying its market strategies.

“Thanks to our strong technical expertise, complete supply chain in China, and favorable policies from the Chinese government, we expect our business to stabilize by 2026 and return to growth in 2027,” Zhao Songping concluded. -0-

NANJING, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Public Security on Thursday proposed the establishment of an international alliance to combat fraud in the telecommunications and internet sectors.

The initiative was put forward at one of the sub-forums of the Global Forum on Public Security Cooperation 2025, which was held from Tuesday to Thursday in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, East China.

A senior ministry official stated at a sub-forum that fraud in the telecommunications and cyber spheres has become a global problem, the solution to which requires strengthening international law enforcement cooperation, improving interaction mechanisms, and creating a reliable system of global governance.

This initiative underscores China's commitment to developing a new international approach to combating telecommunications and cybercrime. Law enforcement agencies across the world need coordination and cooperation to counter these threats, he added.

China has already achieved significant results through cross-border cooperation with law enforcement agencies in countries including Spain, the UAE, Myanmar, Indonesia, the Philippines, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia. These efforts have resulted in the arrest of 68,000 suspects of fraud abroad, who have subsequently been extradited to China.

The subforum was attended by approximately 100 police officers, officials, and experts from 30 countries and regions, as well as international organizations. They proposed a joint initiative to combat fraud in the telecommunications and cyberspace.

In 2016, the Lu Ban Workshop, established by the Tianjin Bohai Vocational and Technical College, was officially opened in Thailand. This was the first Lu Ban Workshop established by China abroad. To date, China has built over 30 such workshops in 30 countries across Asia, Africa, and Europe.

Named after the distinguished ancient Chinese master Lu Ban, this international cooperation project shares the experience and achievements of Chinese vocational education with people around the world. It is a valuable attempt to elevate domestic vocational education to a global level.

According to Lu Shanbin, director of the Institute of Silk Road Studies at Northwest University, Lu Ban's Workshops bring changes to local communities in three main ways:

Firstly, they train technical specialists for local markets, promoting effective employment. Thanks to a training model based on "design, practice, innovation, and project implementation," the workshops have produced a large number of qualified personnel for local development.

Secondly, they facilitate the introduction and application of modern technologies, raising local technical standards. Many developing countries dream of having high-speed railways in their own countries. However, implementing Chinese technologies on the High-Speed Railway requires a significant number of specialists. After the opening of the Lu Ban Workshops, cutting-edge equipment, such as Chinese high-speed train simulators and robots, was introduced to enable local students to learn control technologies and operating procedures.

Third, they promote humanities exchanges and rapprochement between the peoples of China and other countries. Through cultural events and interaction with local students, the Lu Ban Workshops deepen mutual understanding and cultural exchange, fostering friendly ties between peoples.

XI'AN, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) — In a breakthrough in biotech robotics, a team of Chinese scientists has developed a robot that can fly autonomously like a bird.

The new robot, dubbed RoboFalcon2.0, mimics the wing movements of birds and bats, achieving controlled flight through a new reconfigurable mechanism.

A study published in the journal Science Advances details how the robot reproduces the FSF (flap-swing-fold) motion observed in flying vertebrates during slow flight.

Flying vertebrates typically use complex wingbeat kinematics during hovering, takeoff, and landing, which differs from the flight mechanisms of insects. To improve aerodynamic performance at low flight speeds, they employ forward downward flapping movements and aerodynamically inactive upward flapping movements.

Researchers from Northwestern Polytechnical University have created a conical turning mechanism that combines the flap-swing-fold motion during a single wing-beat cycle, mimicking the kinematics of slow vertebrate flight.

According to the study, real-world flights confirmed RoboFalcon2.0's ability to take off independently.

This innovative move could inspire developers to create agile, bird-style vehicles using flight principles similar to those of vertebrates, allowing for more biomimetic designs of flapping robots. -0-
