XIAMEN, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) — The 25th China International Investment and Trade Fair (CIFIT) opened Monday in Xiamen, east China's Fujian Province, with delegations from more than 120 countries and regions attending.

The four-day event, which focuses on three main areas – Investment in China, Chinese Investment and International Investment – features over 100 investment-related events, with the UK being the honoured guest country at CIFIT this year.

The 400 sq m UK National Pavilion includes key sectors including financial and professional services, advanced manufacturing, life sciences, clean energy and creative industries.

The head of the British trade mission to China, Lewis Neil, told Xinhua that Britain had sent its largest ever business delegation to the fair, comprising more than 100 companies from across the country.

He added that they see CIFIT as an important opportunity for the UK to promote growth-driving sectors, as set out in the country's modern industrial strategy.

Expressing confidence in China's economic prospects, he said: "China is the world's second-largest economy and China is expected to grow rapidly. We are optimistic about the ability of British companies to grow in China."

In 2025, CIFIT will feature a symposium featuring multinational corporations, dialogues between leading non-state-owned enterprises and Fortune 500 companies, and more than 30 special investment promotion events that will present the viability and opportunities of “investing in China” in a comprehensive and multi-faceted manner.

Morten Wierød, CEO of ABB Industrial Group, attended the opening ceremony of the fair and took part in key meetings with government officials and representatives of multinational companies.

“I am delighted to be back in Xiamen and attending CIFIT for the first time. The event provides an open platform for global collaboration, bringing together governments, businesses and investors to promote economic growth,” said Morten Wierød.

He noted that China is an important market for ABB and a key research and manufacturing base. “We will continue to invest in this important market, strengthening our R&D capabilities and delivering innovative products that help our customers become more productive, efficient and sustainable.”

Statistics released by China's Ministry of Commerce showed that more than 30,000 new foreign-invested enterprises were established in China from January to June 2025, up 11.7 percent year on year.

First organized in 1997 by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, CIFIT has become an important platform for promoting investment and promoting global development. -0-

SHENYANG, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) — Robots impressed visitors with a variety of skills, from high-precision welding to deftly pouring tea with two "arms," at the Global Industrial Internet Conference held from Sept. 5 to 8 in Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province.

This is a testament to China's progress in artificial intelligence (AI), demonstrating how the country is making significant strides in integrating AI into industrial production after years of moving towards intelligent decision-making.

The event focused on “large industrial models of intelligent agents,” which have evolved from simple means of everyday interaction into powerful “industrial brains” capable of optimizing processes, diagnosing faults, and generating code.

For example, one of China's largest steelmakers, Angang, in Anshan City, Liaoning Province, used intelligent models to optimize molten steel processing, reducing production costs by 15 percent and cutting wastewater emissions by 21 percent. By applying "AI Plus" to production and decision-making, Angang Corporation improves product quality and energy efficiency.

Artificial intelligence is also making significant advances in livestock farming. At a pig farm run by COFCO in Jilin Province, an AI system works 24 hours a day as a “smart vet,” using sound and image recognition combined with a disease knowledge base to identify illnesses in the herd.

“When a pig coughs, the system can automatically detect its location and alert staff,” said a farm technician, noting that veterinarians can identify specific diseases through sound analysis.

As early as July 2015, China issued guidelines for promoting the “Internet Plus” format, which aims to promote the integration of Internet innovation achievements into economic and social spheres. Over the past decade, “Internet Plus” has become an important driving force for industrial upgrading, transforming consumption patterns, and improving people’s daily lives.

By the end of June 2025, China's internet penetration rate reached 79.7 percent, and the number of internet users in China reached more than 1.12 billion. The country has built the world's largest 5G network, covering more than 17,000 5G-enabled industrial internet projects in 41 industries.

“Internet Plus” not only transforms the production environment, but also gives new impetus to expanding the potential of the entire production chain – from R&D and supply to marketing and service.

According to Ni Qi, general manager of Shenyang Haier Refrigerator Co., Ltd., at Haier's Shenyang refrigerator factory, a refrigerator comes off the intelligent production line every 10 seconds, which reduces manual labor by 50 percent and achieves real-time connectivity between products, machines and production lines.

This intellectual transformation also benefits the people's daily life sector.

“AI automatically summarizes the knowledge framework and uses the question and answer system to check the learning results,” said Li Yanfei, general manager of Liaoning-based Sunflower Digital Technology. As an enterprise in the digital economy industry, Sunflower plans to further increase R&D investment and develop innovative products, focusing on the implementation of personalized learning and the development of “AI teaching assistant”.

At this year's Global Industrial Internet Conference, enterprises, universities and research institutes signed cooperation agreements. Key technologies are also advancing rapidly in emerging industries such as super-large intelligent computing centers, humanoid robots and new biological technologies. -0-

URUMQI, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) — Nowadays, many Chinese prefer to visit Central Asian countries for tourism or business purposes through independent car travel.

At the Horgos checkpoint in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, tourists ready to travel by car to Central Asia, Russia and northern Europe lined up to consult with staff about relevant procedures.

Among them are Lin Shuangnan, a student from Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, southern China, and his friends. The young people plan to travel to Moscow in their own car to continue their postgraduate studies at Lomonosov Moscow State University. They set off from Shenzhen, plan to cross the Chinese border through the Khorgos checkpoint, travel through Kazakhstan for about 14 days, and arrive in Russia.

Although this was their first experience of cross-border car tourism, they said “the procedures were convenient and the customs officers were very helpful.”

According to statistics, as of September 1, 2025, the number of cars entering and leaving the border as part of cross-border auto tourism through the Khorgos automobile checkpoint amounted to more than 4,500 units, which is 370 percent more than a year earlier.

"In order to ensure efficient customs clearance for cross-border car tourism tourists, we have opened a special channel to ensure highly efficient customs clearance of vehicles," said Zhang Yongpeng, an official from Horgos Border Service.

The Horgos Cross-Border Tourism Comprehensive Service Center officially opened in August this year. According to Ren Yanbin, the center's director, while it used to take 2-3 days to process individual passengers, the service center now allows tourists to complete all border procedures in just 8 hours.

"Cross-border tourism is currently gaining momentum at all checkpoints in Xinjiang, and its market potential is very large. Statistics show that cross-border tourism between China and Central Asian countries is developing dynamically," Ren Yanbin said. -0-

The first System Bootcamp from YADRO laboratory has ended at NSU

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

From August 14 to 28, the first System Bootcamp from the YADRO laboratory was held at NSU. Junior students took part in the Bootcamp Faculty of Information Technology And Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU, as well as graduating students who chose a topic for their future diploma work. Over the course of two weeks, 11 students worked on projects in three areas. The guys who successfully completed the Bootcamp will have the opportunity to continue working in the laboratory, participate in the implementation of projects on system development within the framework of cooperation with the YADRO company.

To participate in the event, it was necessary to fill out a questionnaire, write a motivation letter and provide information about your academic performance in key courses, such as operating systems, network technologies and the basic C course.

— Most of the Summer Schools held at NSU together with industrial partners are aimed at senior students, which is logical from the point of view of further employment. Quite often, graduates of such schools receive an offer to do an internship and then work in a company. We are focused on junior students in order to interest them in the tasks of system programming and give them the opportunity to specialize in this area. That is, our main task is to popularize system programming among students studying in IT specialties, — said Alexander Vlasov, head of the YADRO laboratory at Novosibirsk State University, deputy dean of the Faculty of Information Technology of NSU for Master's degree programs.

Bootcamp participants spent two weeks working on projects in three areas: development of CDM-16, a learning processor for the Digital Platforms course; UPX, an executable packer; and “Implementation of Thompson’s attack on the TinyCC compiler.” The first half of the day was spent interacting with mentors in the lab, and the second half was spent working independently. However, students continued working on projects in the classroom after lunch.

— These are new projects, there are no ready-made solutions for them. Students could not use search engines to find ready-made solutions or artificial intelligence to generate the “correct” answer. They had to apply their skills and knowledge that they received during their studies at our University to solve the task, — explained Alexander Vlasov.

A team of three people worked on the implementation of the project "Implementation of Thompson's attack on the TinyCC compiler": Matvey Sorokin, Vladimir Sharapov and Andrey Zverev. This is exactly one of the areas that the YADRO laboratory at NSU is engaged in – the topic of compiler verification, that is, checking for non-infection. The idea of the project at the Bootcamp was to first create such an infected compiler, and then verify this compiler.

— I had a very interesting project — compiler verification. The project is large, the task is huge — to "infect" the compiler so that it turns an ordinary program into a malicious one. We tested many different options for how this can be done. In the end, we can say that we coped with the task, — shared Vladimir Sharapov, a student of the NSU FIT.

The topics of the Bootcamp projects are highly specialized, however, there are many people at the FIT and other faculties who are passionate about system programming. And the experience gained can be applied in solving a wide range of current industrial problems.

— Bootcamp is a very good way to come and join the research topic within the framework of system programming. To touch, to see what it is. Bootcamp is people, a team of like-minded people with whom you will work on the project. It is networking, as well as an opportunity to get acquainted with the laboratory, — emphasized Alexander Volk, a student of the NSU FIT.

Students who complete the Bootcamp with high results have the opportunity to continue working in the YADRO laboratory and work on projects in the field of systems programming together with YADRO curators.

— I hope that we have interested the students who have successfully completed the Bootcamp in the field they have become familiar with. Even if the students do not specialize in the field of system development in the future, the skills they have acquired here will certainly help them in the future in other areas of IT, — concluded Alexander Vlasov.

MADRID, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) — Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday announced a series of measures against Israel in a televised address from his official residence at the Moncloa Palace.

P. Sanchez outlined nine steps his government will take, confirming that the cabinet will approve a decree on Tuesday to impose an arms embargo on Israel.

In addition to the embargo, Spain will close its airspace and ports to planes carrying weapons to Israel or ships carrying fuel for the Israeli military. The country will also ban products coming from illegal Israeli settlements and increase funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

While acknowledging that these steps “will not be enough,” P. Sanchez said they were aimed at increasing pressure on Israel and “alleviating some of the suffering of the Palestinian people.”

Israel resumed its military operations in the Gaza Strip on March 18. At least 11,911 Palestinians have been killed and 50,735 wounded since Israel resumed intensive strikes, Gaza health authorities said Sunday, bringing the death toll since October 2023 to 64,455 and the number of wounded to 162,776. –0–
