China has entered the top 10 of the Global Innovation Index for the first time! The Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou cluster has taken first place globally among innovation clusters.

The World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO) recently released Global Innovation Index 2025 report gave China an impressive score.

"Being among the top ten reflects China's outstanding position as a global leader in innovation," praised WIPO Assistant Director General Marco Aleman.

In recent years, such significant scientific and technological achievements as the successful collection and return of samples from the far side of the Moon by the Chang'e-6 mission and the "high-quality burning" for 1,000 seconds at 100 million degrees Celsius in the "artificial sun" EAST have appeared one after another, demonstrating a new height of Chinese science and technology.

Scientific, technological, and industrial innovations are accelerating integration, and the benefits of scientific and technological progress are constantly entering the lives of millions of families: 5G communications are being widely deployed, the Beidou navigation system provides global precision services, brain-computer interfaces help paralyzed patients stand and walk, and Chinese brain stimulators have helped 30,000 Parkinson's patients improve their motor function.

Data show that China has the highest volume of international patent applications under the PCT system in the world. China became the first country to exceed 4 million active invention patents. As of June of this year, the number of active invention patents in strategic emerging industries reached 1.472 million, with a number of important patents accumulated in key areas such as artificial intelligence, new energy, and health and well-being.

In 2024, China's total R&D expenditure exceeded 3.6 trillion yuan, ranking second in the world, with basic research expenditure reaching 249.7 billion yuan.

According to WIPO, 24 Chinese clusters have entered the top 100 innovation clusters in the world, marking the highest number for the third year in a row.

China provides support for enterprises' participation in major national research and development projects: enterprises act as lead contractors or participate in approximately 80% of key R&D programs. Tax incentive policies are being continuously optimized: the excess deduction rate for enterprise R&D expenses has been increased from 75% to 100%. New industries are being actively developed in many regions, and government application scenarios for enterprises are being opened up.

Today, there are more than 500,000 high-tech enterprises in China, and in 2024, 524 companies from mainland China entered the global top 2000 in terms of industrial R&D investment.

As was recently announced at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Global Coastal Forum in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, the population of milu (David's deer) in the Dafeng National Nature Reserve in Jiangsu has increased from 39 individuals introduced in 1986 to more than 8,500 individuals.

Today, this reserve has become the world's largest gene pool for milu, with birth rates, survival rates, and annual population growth rates for these deer ranking first in the world.

The IUCN's Species Introductory Guide states: "Milu is one of the 15 most successful reintroduction projects out of 138 such projects worldwide."

Milu, known as "sibuxiang" (unlike anything else), inhabited Chinese soil millions of years ago, are endemic to China, and are essential for maintaining the security of wetland ecosystems and the integrity of trophic functions. Later, due to human hunting and habitat destruction, the Milu population gradually declined. By the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the few dozen deer remaining only in the Nanhaizi Imperial Deer Park in Beijing were dispersed abroad due to wars.

In 1986, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) selected 39 milus from British zoos and parks and donated them for protection and breeding in Dafeng, Yancheng.

The first breeding took place in 1987, the population exceeded 100 individuals in 1992, and then exceeded 1000 in 2006… Thanks to the constant efforts and meticulous care of local authorities and the reserve, the milu population in Dafeng is constantly breaking records.

Dafeng, Yancheng, is located in the economically developed Yangtze River Delta region, where preserving the milu's original natural habitat is extremely challenging. As the Chinese government at all levels continues to increase human and material investment in environmental protection, the milu population in Dafeng is accelerating its recovery, and animal protection has become a national consensus.

From the Big Top to the World Stage: 145 Years of the Tsvetnoy Circus

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On October 20, 1880, the Moscow Circus named after Yuri Nikulin gave its first performance on Tsvetnoy Boulevard—that very positive place where even a serious leader can allow himself to be a carefree child.

Albert Salamonsky founded the capital's circus and immediately made it famous: for the first time, they began inviting not only the most famous circus performers but also singers and folk musicians, and they also staged complex mass acts, with up to 35 horses performing in the arena. Incidentally, it was Salamonsky who came up with the idea of creating performances and New Year's parties for the youngest audiences—before him, circus shows were considered "inappropriate for children."

At first, spectators had access to only a few rows of seats and a standing gallery, but eventually the building was expanded. In 1919, the circus became state-owned, and performances continued even during the war.

The Imaginarium of Director Nikulin

In 1946, the nation's favorite circus performer, Yuri Nikulin, began his rise to fame here at the Clowning Studio. After 36 years with the circus, this legendary Soviet artist took over and oversaw a major renovation—the renovated hall opened on September 29, 1989.

They say that during the renovation, the director closely monitored the new building to ensure that there were comfortable restrooms, as children attend the performances and they should be comfortable everywhere.

But Nikulin wasn't only concerned with hygiene. Thanks to his efforts, the complex now boasts a unique air conditioning system, a rehearsal arena with a 20-meter dome, a hotel for performers, a Circus Arts Museum, a school-studio, and an on-site veterinary clinic.

Through thorns to the stars

The Russian circus of the 20th century conquered the world, with Western newspapers writing: "The Bolshoi Theatre won our hearts, and the Moscow Circus took them with it." At the turn of the century, one of the world's finest arenas encountered temporary financial difficulties, so some of its performers left to work for other companies, including the renowned Cirque du Soleil.

These days, the Circus on Tsvetnoy is doing remarkably well again—ticket sales are up to 98.5%, and each show impresses with its scale and the high skill of the performers.

Congratulations to our favorite artists on their anniversary!

The NSU Center for Artificial Intelligence developed and tested a draft state standard, "Humanitarian Expertise on the Implementation of AI Systems in Smart City Development Practices."

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

Novosibirsk, October 20, 2025: The NSU Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (AI Center) has developed a draft state standard, "Humanities-Based Assessment of the Implementation of AI Systems in Smart City Development Practices." An application has already been submitted to Technical Committee No. 164 "Artificial Intelligence." If approved, it will be part of a comprehensive assessment of AI-based solutions. This state standard will be the first regulatory document in international practice to take into account the humanities component of AI projects.

"Currently, artificial intelligence projects are presented as engineering or technical systems with various functionalities, and developers focus on the effectiveness of the solutions, programs, and models they create. However, the anthropology of the project is largely ignored in these developments. This is especially true when it comes to what will happen to a person, their abilities, health, moral principles, values, and meanings if this project is widely implemented into the structures of our everyday life, such as education, science, management, and healthcare. Therefore, the need has arisen for so-called humanitarian expertise, which involves assessing the humanitarian risks and opportunities that arise from the widespread implementation of these developments," said Sergei Smirnov, PhD, a leading researcher at the NSU AI Center, one of its authors, about the idea behind the standard.

The smart city theme for the new state standard was chosen based on the NSU AI Center's specialization, "Construction and Urban Environment." Existing state standards, including those in the field of artificial intelligence, were used as a model. Currently, there are over a hundred such standards, either approved or still under discussion.

"We also drew on a long-standing theoretical tradition and the experience of implementing ethical review in biotechnology, medicine, healthcare, and genetics, where this issue became particularly pressing when the issue of human cloning and genome editing arose. We took these developments and applied them to the field of artificial intelligence," added Sergey Smirnov.

As part of the humanitarian assessment, a questionnaire was developed to assess the humanitarian potential (opportunities) and humanitarian risks of implementing an AI system. The questionnaire includes several questions covering various aspects related to the impact of the AI project being developed on the urban environment: does the project help solve a social or humanitarian problem? does the manager's approach change? does the comfort of the living environment, safety, and health of citizens change, and if so, in what ways? is the user expected to be actively involved as an active subject during implementation, or are they passive consumers? does trust in the system increase, or does mistrust arise? does the project's implementation generate conflicts? The questionnaire takes into account various perspectives—residents, the target professional group (service users), city government representatives, investors, experts, and the developers themselves. Each item is assessed on a ten-point scale. All responses are summed up, and an aggregated indicator is derived separately for humanitarian risks and humanitarian potential.

When calculating the aggregated indicator within the humanitarian assessment, two other important criteria are also taken into account. This is the Smart Cities Index, implemented by the Russian Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communities, which considers the competitiveness of Russian cities, the development of an effective urban management system, and the creation of safe and comfortable living conditions for residents. The second is the Urban Environment Quality Index, approved by the Russian Government, which assesses the living conditions of citizens in cities based on various spaces (housing, street and road networks, green spaces, public and business infrastructure, etc.) across a number of criteria (safety, diversity, comfort, etc.).

The resulting indices of humanitarian risk and humanitarian potential, smart city, and urban environmental quality are summed to produce an aggregated indicator—the humanitarian index—that measures the consequences of implementing a specific artificial intelligence project and its impact on people. A formula for calculating the humanitarian index was developed to calculate this index.

A pilot test of the developed state standard took place in August 2025 at the Technoprom international forum for technological development, where a project-based simulator on humanitarian assessment was conducted. Two projects from the NSU AI Center were used for evaluation: "Environmental Monitoring in a Smart City" and "Energy and Distribution Networks of a Smart City. Digital Heating Network." Following the event, the initial questionnaire was adjusted, and it became clear that the draft state standard is a viable tool that developers could use when designing their own solutions to improve and strengthen these projects, as it takes into account the humanitarian aspect.

"The institution (practice) of humanitarian expertise should be incorporated into municipal government regulations. Humanitarian expertise should become as mandatory as, for example, environmental assessments in chemical production, and should become the norm when deciding on the implementation of any AI-based service," emphasized Sergey Smirnov.

The current goal is to test the newly created state standard as widely as possible, conduct dozens of different simulations with real projects, and test both the projects themselves and the assessment tool. A draft law on AI is currently being developed at the federal level. According to Sergei Smirnov, the state standard for humanities assessment could very well become part of it.
