BEIJING, July 14 (Xinhua) — Since their establishment more than 40 years ago, China's national-level Economic and Technological Development Zones have prioritized opening up and served as the "first tier" in promoting foreign trade and attracting foreign investment, said Ji Xiaofeng, spokesperson for the Foreign Investment Department of the Ministry of Commerce.

For four decades, these zones have made continuous efforts to improve themselves and have been committed to building a high-quality, law-based business environment, Ji Xiaofeng said, speaking at the latest edition of the China Economy Roundtable hosted by Xinhua News Agency.

By the end of 2024, China had established 232 state-level economic and technological development zones, which together housed more than 60,000 foreign-invested companies.

Among them, Japanese electronics giant Panasonic was one of the first foreign investors in the Chinese market. Today, it has three subsidiaries in the Suzhou Industrial Park in East China's Jiangsu Province.

Suzhou Industrial Park ranks first among all national-level economic and technological development zones in China in terms of development level as of the end of 2024, maintaining the top position for the ninth consecutive year, according to an annual ranking released by the Ministry of Commerce.

“The industrial park’s location, industrial chain and policy support make it very attractive to us and will bring great benefits to our investment and development not only in Suzhou but also in China as a whole,” said Zhao Bindi, president of Panasonic China.

In May, China's Ministry of Commerce released a work plan to further deepen reform and innovation in state-level economic and technological development zones, marking the latest move by China to strengthen the zones' role in promoting high-level opening-up.

“We have been witnesses and beneficiaries of China’s reform and opening up. As the country moves toward high-quality development, we remain committed to our continued growth here,” Zhao Bingdi said. -0-

BEIJING, July 14 (Xinhua) — China and the United States are accelerating efforts to implement the results reached in the framework of the agreements reached during the trade and economic talks in London, Wang Lingjun, vice-director of the General Administration of Customs (GAC), said on Monday.

Following positive progress in recent trade and economic talks in Geneva and London, trade volume between the two countries rebounded to over 350 billion yuan (about $49 billion) last month from less than 300 billion yuan in May, Wang Lingjun told a press conference.

Wang Lingjun said that China-US economic and trade cooperation is mutually beneficial in nature and reflects the irreversible historical trend of the globalization era, the objective requirement for deeper integration of industrial chains, as well as the practical need for innovation cooperation between enterprises of the two countries and improving the well-being of the peoples of the two countries.

Describing the consensus reached in Geneva and the framework established in London as “hard-won,” he expressed hope that the U.S. would move toward meeting each other halfway with China to make cooperation the central theme of bilateral economic and trade ties, steer the global trading system back toward fairness and openness, and contribute to global economic recovery and growth. -0-

Senate Trump assassination report questions Secret Service discipline

NEW YORK, July 14 (Xinhua) — A U.S. Senate report on the assassination attempt on U.S. President Donald Trump last year found "numerous, unacceptable failures" in Secret Service discipline.

The report comes a year after then-presidential candidate Trump was wounded when a 20-year-old gunman fired eight shots at him at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The gunman was later killed by a sniper. But the shooting, which left one protester dead and two wounded, showed the Secret Service was lax in its planning and response, the report said, calling for tougher discipline.

“This was not an isolated lapse in judgment. This was a complete collapse of security at every level, fueled by bureaucratic indifference, a lack of clear protocols, and a shocking refusal to act when there was a direct threat,” Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican who chairs the House Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said in a statement.

Noting that the Secret Service learned of a suspicious person “nearly 45 minutes before the shooting and took no action,” the report’s authors noted a series of errors that showed “a disturbing pattern of communication breakdowns and negligence that led to a preventable tragedy.”

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned after the shooting, and six employees responsible for protecting Donald Trump at the Butler rally have been suspended for 10 to 42 days, the service said Thursday. –0–

BEIJING, July 14 (Xinhua) — National-level economic and technological development zones in China will continue to play an important role in developing new productive forces in line with local conditions, a guest speaker said at the latest edition of the China Economic Roundtable organized by Xinhua News Agency.

Efforts will be aimed at strengthening integration and strengthening the relationship between scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, said Ji Xiaofeng, a spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Investment of the Ministry of Commerce of China.

According to her, there are currently more than 700 state-level incubators and hackspaces operating in China's state-level techno-economic development zones, as well as over 18 percent of the country's total number of high-tech enterprises.

"We will strive to build more industrial innovation platforms, while focusing on building the entire chain of product certification, large-scale production and testing, so as to strive to accelerate the transformation of technological innovation and industrial application of research results in national-level economic and technological development zones," the official said.

China will support national-level economic and technological development zones to carry out major technological transformation and upgrading, as well as large-scale equipment upgrades, to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, Ji Xiaofeng said.

According to her, state-level economic and technological development zones will also develop emerging industries of strategic importance such as biomedicine, new energy, new materials and aerospace, and carry out long-term planning for future industries.

China earlier this year unveiled a work plan encouraging national-level economic and technological development zones to develop new productive forces tailored to local conditions by building more industrial and scientific and technological innovation platforms and computing power infrastructure.

In 1984, China established its first national-level economic development zone in the northeastern city of Dalian. By 2024, the number of such zones had reached 232, with a gross regional product of 16.9 trillion yuan (about $2.36 trillion). -0-

On the occasion of the opening of the plenary session of the 14th Committee of the All-China Youth Federation and the 28th Congress of the All-China Students' Federation, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, I extend my congratulations!

In the process of comprehensively promoting the great cause of building a powerful country and national rejuvenation through China's modernization, truly limitless prospects and opportunities are opening up for the younger generation to realize their potential in various spheres of life.
