On November 29, the British magazine The Economist published an article titled "The Next Area China Will Dominate: What China's Rapid Innovation Means for the World." The article notes that China is demonstrating rapid progress in both driverless vehicles and pharmaceutical development.

The accelerating revolution in driverless taxis could transform the transportation and logistics industries, as well as everyday life in cities. The cost of producing such taxis in China is only a third of that in the US, and Chinese manufacturers have already established partnerships in Europe and the Middle East.

In the pharmaceutical industry, China has transformed itself from a generic drug producer into the second-largest country in the world in terms of research and development of new drugs. Today, many Western competitors are acquiring patent licenses from Chinese companies, and it seems the emergence of Chinese pharmaceutical giants is just around the corner.

The successful development of these two industries clearly demonstrates China's innovative model. A large talent pool, a vast manufacturing base, and the sheer scale of production combine to enable China to rapidly advance up the global value chain.

More surprisingly, a flexible and open regulatory system has been a key element of China's success. After China announced its goal of becoming a global biotechnology power in 2016, the country quickly implemented a series of reforms. China also pioneered experiments in self-driving taxis.

Affordable Chinese medicines are expected to benefit the entire world, especially developing countries. China is no less important for the research and development of Western pharmaceutical companies; a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship may even develop between them. As for driverless taxis, they will likely follow the traditional path of Chinese technology exports: facing barriers in the US market, they will be able to gain a foothold in other regions of the world.

How should the rest of the world respond to this trend? Mindless protectionism under the guise of "safety" is undoubtedly wrong. For the West, blocking or restricting access to Chinese innovations will deprive consumers of cheaper and higher-quality medicines and transportation services.

Western economies therefore need to rethink their own innovation mechanisms. If the West intends to remain competitive in driverless vehicles and pharmaceutical development, it must learn valuable lessons from China's experience in low-cost innovation.

As of December 13, 2025, the total box office revenue of the Chinese film market exceeded 50 billion yuan, breaking the figures for the entire previous year and setting a new record.

Below is a list of the top ten films to hit the Chinese box office in 2025, based on the latest box office data:

1. The animated fantasy film "Nezha Defeats the Dragon King" (Nezha 2), total box office revenue – 15.446 billion yuan.

2. Comedy thriller "Chinatown Detective 1900", total box office revenue – 3.612 billion yuan.

3. The animated film "Zootopia 2" (USA), box office revenue – 3.350 billion yuan.

4. Historical war film "Nanjing Photo Studio", total box office revenue – 3.017 billion yuan.

5. Historical war film "731", total box office revenue – 1.943 billion yuan.

6. The animated comedy "Little Demons Journey to the West", total box office revenue – 1.719 billion yuan.

7. Crime action film "Shadow Hunt", total box office collection – 1.265 billion yuan.

8. Epic fantasy "Creation of the Gods: Battle with Demons", total box office revenue – 1.239 billion yuan.

9. Animated film "Escape from the Future", total box office revenue – 822 million yuan.

10. Historical drama "The Lichi of Chang'an", total box office revenue – 691 million yuan.

With Chinese-made films dominating, the Year of Animation is becoming a major event.

2025 will be a triumphant year for "domestic films" at the Chinese box office. In the first half of the year, domestic films accounted for an impressive 91.2% of the box office revenue. Domestic films made the top ten grossing films for the year, sweeping every competition, comparable in intensity to Grand Slam tournaments.

The year 2025 was celebrated in the film industry under the motto "The Year of Animation." The releases of "Ne Zha 2" at the beginning of the year, "Little Demons Go West" during the summer season, and "Zootopia 2" (USA) at the end of the year triggered a chain reaction throughout the year, creating the phenomenon of "three breakout hits." This event marked the emergence of animated films as a new frontier, transforming them from products aimed at children or a niche audience into mainstream fare with broad appeal.

The emerging interplay between box office revenue and industries: leading animated films have demonstrated a remarkable ability to stimulate related industries. Sales of branded merchandise, i.e., merchandise for the film "Nezha 2," are expected to exceed hundreds of billions of yuan. Even before the theatrical release of "Little Demons Journey to the West," the producers of the animated film had partnered with over 30 renowned brands, and on the day of the film's release, merchandise sales exceeded 7 million yuan. This integrated model of "film merchandising and cultural tourism" is shaping a completely new business ecosystem.

The parallel development of thematic creativity and a diversity of genres helps to satisfy the diverse demands of viewers.

The year 2025 coincided with the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Historical films such as "Nanjing Photographer" and "731," based on real events, immortalize historical memory through cinematic means, achieving a combination of social impact and economic benefit. In particular, "Nanjing Photographer," released in many countries abroad, sparked heated debate, becoming an example of how Chinese stories successfully "enter the international market."

The suspense comedy "Chinatown Detective 1900," the gritty action film "Shadowhunter," and the sweeping Eastern fantasy "Gods' Creation: Battle with Demons" all topped various film ratings throughout the year, demonstrating the Russian film industry's ability to confidently create masterpieces in established commercial genres.

Overall, the Chinese film market in 2025, thanks to strong box office receipts and the supply of high-quality content, has cemented its leading position globally. The complete victory of domestic films, the historic breakthrough of the animation genre, and the deepening of the multi-industry "Film" model were the three key events of this year. This is seen not simply as a box office triumph, but also as a comprehensive manifestation of China's improving film industry system and the continued growth of China's burgeoning cultural creativity.

Income distribution directly affects the vital interests of the population. The "Proposals of the CPC Central Committee on the Formulation of the 15th Five-Year Program for National Economic and Social Development" clearly outline the need to "improve the income distribution system" and set the task of "improving the primary distribution mechanism based on the market assessment of the contribution of various factors of production and determining wages in accordance with their contribution, and promoting greater rewards for those who work harder, have higher qualifications, or actively engage in innovative activities."

"These three groups, which can benefit more, together form a value orientation that encourages the whole society to work hard," said Wei Guoxue, director of the strategic planning department of the Institute of Social Development of the National Development and Reform Commission.

"The more you work, the more you get." When employers set wage standards based on working hours, workload, and employee contribution, this embodies the principle of "the more you work, the more you get." This principle clearly identifies labor as the starting point for value creation, allowing honest and hardworking workers to receive the rewards they deserve.

"The higher the qualifications, the higher the reward": the purpose of this principle is to improve the wages and social status of highly qualified personnel, which will contribute to the optimization and modernization of China's labor force structure.

According to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the total number of skilled workers in China currently exceeds 220 million, including over 72 million highly skilled. This provides a solid human resource base for achieving high-level scientific and technological self-sufficiency and building a modern industrial system.

In recent years, in line with the needs of industrial transformation and the development of new technologies, China has been carrying out large-scale vocational training.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan, more than 44 million people received professional qualification certificates, and over 6,000 were awarded the titles of "highest-category specialist" and "leading specialist." Many of them earn salaries comparable to those of mid- and senior-level managers. In practice, the principle of "higher qualifications, higher rewards" benefits both companies and employees, becoming a "reciprocal movement."

"Those who innovate reap the most benefits": in traditional manufacturing, even a small technological improvement can generate tens of millions of yuan in economic gains. For emerging industries such as artificial intelligence and the digital economy, the importance of innovation is paramount.

"Innovative activity is naturally accompanied by high risks and uncertainty, so the expectation of excess profits as compensation and reward is necessary," noted Wei Guoxue. Improving the relevant system will facilitate the full realization of innovative potential and the achievement of a high level of scientific and technological independence.

Vladivostok/Changchun, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) — In the depths of a cold winter, Evgeny Stoma and his team make their way through the snow and vast mountain forest in southern Russia's Primorsky Krai.

E. Stoma is the Deputy Director of Protection at Land of the Leopard National Park. He oversees a patrol team of over 100 people who patrol the park's protected area 24/7, protecting wild animals from poaching, fires, and other threats.

At the other end of the vast forest, Yang Zhao, a ranger at China's Manchurian Tiger and Amur Leopard National Park, and his colleagues perform similar tasks. Each patrol shift lasts at least four hours, during which they cover at least eight kilometers. Sometimes, they need to maintain infrared cameras installed in the wild, which requires additional time.

This mountain forest, located on the border of Russia's Far East and northeast China, is jointly protected by inspectors from both countries. It is the primary habitat of two rare and endangered predators—the Manchurian (Amur) tiger and the Far Eastern leopard.

In the early 20th century, the wild Manchurian tiger population plummeted. At one point, some estimates suggest there were only about 500 individuals left worldwide. The Amur leopard also faced extinction. Russia and China are making sustained and determined efforts to preserve these rare animals.

In 2012, the Russian National Park "Land of the Leopard" was established. Its most important mission is to save the world's last population of Far Eastern leopards, as well as to provide a natural, safe habitat for tigers and leopards through conservation efforts.

"Before the creation of Land of the Leopard National Park, we considered capturing all the tigers and leopards and keeping them in zoos to ensure their survival. But ultimately, we decided to allow them to live and thrive in the wild," says park director Viktor Bardyuk.

This work is fraught with numerous difficulties and dangers. E. Stoma has been shot by poachers more than once and has encountered various emergency situations. "For example, in the Kraskino-Hunchun crossing area, there's tall grass and strong winds, creating a constant threat of fire. I once had the experience of one person dying in a fire. The last time this happened was 15 years ago. That person was working with me. There have been many such incidents: car and boat rammings, shootouts, arrests, fights… We don't deal with poachers in a library, we deal with them in the forest," E. Stoma explains.

China is also systematically working to protect Manchurian tigers and Far Eastern leopards. Thanks to a project to protect natural forests and develop a network of nature reserves, the ecological situation in these predators' habitats has significantly improved, allowing their populations to gradually recover. In 2017, the Manchurian Tiger and Far Eastern Leopard National Park was established in China's Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces as a pilot project. Situated directly on the border with Russia, the park covers an area of approximately 14,000 square kilometers. It received official status in 2021.

In addition to traditional foot patrols conducted by rangers like Yang Zhao, the Manchurian Tiger and Amur Leopard National Park is actively implementing modern technology. It uses an intelligent "sky-to-ground" monitoring system that uses satellite remote sensing and artificial intelligence to track tiger and leopard activity in real time, achieving over 95 percent accuracy in identifying individual tigers.

This is the world's first real-time biodiversity monitoring system for large areas. In accordance with the data exchange agreement reached with the Russian side, scientists from both parks are using this system to obtain key information on population dynamics and changes in predator habitat in the border zone.

Conserving the Manchurian tiger and Far Eastern leopard, as well as protecting their habitat, has become a shared environmental goal for China and Russia. Joint work between experts from the two countries on protecting Manchurian tigers began in 2006. In 2019, China's Manchurian Tiger and Far Eastern Leopard National Park and Russia's Land of the Leopard National Park exchanged visits, formally establishing a strategic partnership for the transboundary conservation of tigers and leopards. In March 2024, the China-Russia Joint Laboratory for Research on the Conservation and Restoration of the Manchurian Tiger Population was established. Today, bilateral cooperation is constantly expanding, encompassing new areas: from data integration and joint patrols to the exchange of advanced technologies.

The area, jointly and carefully protected by the two countries' national parks, has become an ideal breeding ground for Manchurian tigers and Far Eastern leopards. According to Feng Limin, Director of the Manchurian Tiger and Far Eastern Leopard Monitoring and Research Center of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration of China, special corridors have been created to ensure the free migration of wild animals across the Sino-Russian border, which has contributed to a healthier population distribution.

Since 2017, the monitoring system has recorded over 30,000 instances of sika deer crossing these transboundary corridors. Furthermore, over 20 Manchurian tigers regularly use them for free movement.

The effectiveness of Chinese-Russian cooperation in protecting Manchurian tigers and Far Eastern leopards is clearly demonstrated by the steady growth of these wild animals' populations. According to available data, in 2015, before the launch of the national park's pilot project, only 27 tigers and 42 leopards lived in China. By 2025, their numbers had increased to approximately 70 and 80 individuals, respectively, and their habitat now covers approximately 80% of the park's territory. Even more encouraging is the increase in reproductive success: while at the start of the project, only about 30% of tiger cubs and leopard cubs survived, this figure is now approaching 50%.

The populations of Manchurian tigers and Amur leopards in Russia are also showing steady growth. Since the establishment of Land of the Leopard National Park, the leopard population has increased from 35 to over 120 individuals, and the tiger population to over 50. Thanks to the joint efforts of the two countries, this region of Northeast Asia has become home to the highest density of wild populations of these rare felines in the world.

In November 2025, a Sino-Russian exchange event on cross-border conservation of the Manchurian tiger and the Far Eastern leopard was held in Hunchun, Jilin Province. The parties agreed not only to establish a unified monitoring system but also to jointly produce environmental video footage to promote successful cross-border conservation practices. It was noted that the practical experience of the two countries offers ready-made, effective models for global efforts on cross-border biodiversity conservation.

“We are working towards one goal: to ensure the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature,” emphasized Duan Zhaogan, director of the Manchurian Tiger and Far Eastern Leopard National Park. –0–
