 In this powerful episode, Ron Pearce shares a deeply personal and stirring message on the reality of spiritual lostness around the world. Drawing from Scripture and a timeless teaching that impacted his own life, Ron unpacks what it truly means to be lost—and why the urgency of the Gospel has never been greater. With stories from the field and reflections from Luke 13, this episode challenges listeners to grasp the eternal consequences of rejecting Christ and inspires a renewed passion for evangelism. It's a message the Church needs to hear. 

China had more than 1.12 billion internet users as of June 2025, according to a report released by the China Internet Network Information Center on Monday.根据中国互联网络信息中心周一发布的一份报告，截至2025年6月，中国有超过11.2亿互联网用户。The report also noted that internet penetration in China reached 79.7 percent by June 2025, an increase of 1.1 percentage points compared to December 2024.报告还指出，到2025年6月，中国的互联网普及率达到79.7%，比2024年12月提高了1.1个百分点。According to the report, China has made significant strides in internet development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period from 2021 to 2025. In particular, efforts to make the internet more inclusive have allowed key groups, such as the elderly and rural residents, to share in the benefits of this progress.根据报告，中国在2021年至2025年的“十四五”期间在互联网发展方面取得了重大进展。特别是，使互联网更具包容性的努力使老年人和农村居民等关键群体能够分享这一进步的好处。As of June 2025, China had 161 million internet users aged 60 and above, and 322 million living in rural areas. Internet penetration among these groups reached 52 percent and 69.2 percent, respectively.截至2025年6月，中国有1.61亿60岁及以上的互联网用户，其中3.22亿生活在农村地区。这些群体的互联网普及率分别达到52%和69.2%。Meanwhile, the continued development of the internet in China has played a key role in promoting Chinese culture both domestically and internationally, the report said, citing the rising export of Chinese online literature and games, along with the growing synergy between popular web series and related tourist destinations.与此同时，报告指出，中国互联网的持续发展在国内外推广中国文化方面发挥了关键作用，中国网络文学和游戏的出口不断增加，流行网络系列与相关旅游目的地之间的协同作用日益增强。key groupsn.关键人群/kiː ɡruːps/rural areasn.农村地区/ˈrʊərəl ˈeəriəz/

Years of efforts aimed at promoting the country's opening-up and continuously expanding market access for foreign enterprises have gradually paid off. Foreign-funded enterprises now contribute one-third of China's foreign trade, one-fourth of its value-added industrial output, and one-seventh of its tax revenues, and have created more than 30 million jobs over the past five years. It is little wonder therefore that the government should highly value foreign direct investment and always try its best to improve the business environment for foreign capital, so as to make the country a safe and promising destination for foreign investors.多年来，为促进国家对外开放和不断扩大外资企业市场准入所做的努力逐渐取得成效。外资企业目前占中国对外贸易的三分之一，工业增加值的四分之一，税收的七分之一，在过去五年中创造了3000多万个就业机会。因此，毫不奇怪，政府应该高度重视外国直接投资，并始终尽最大努力改善外国资本的商业环境，使该国成为外国投资者的安全和有前景的目的地。The country's 14th Five-Year Plan from 2021 to 2025 set the target of attracting a total of $700 billion in foreign investment, with remarkable progress to be made in both the quantity and quality of utilized foreign investment. Despite the challenges posed by the rise of protectionism and unilateralism in recent years, the utilized foreign investment in China reached $708.73 billion by the end of June, suggesting the country has already achieved its five-year foreign investment target, ahead of schedule.2021年至2025年，中国第十四个五年计划设定了吸引7000亿美元外资的目标，利用外资的数量和质量都将取得显著进展。尽管近年来保护主义和单边主义抬头带来了挑战，但截至6月底，中国利用外资已达7087.3亿美元，表明中国已提前实现其五年外资目标。Statistics from the Ministry of Commerce released on the weekend also indicate that in the first half of this year the number of newly established foreign-invested companies increased by 11.7 percent year-on-year to 30,014, as the country continues to attract foreign capital into high-tech industries such as artificial intelligence, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals and high-end manufacturing.商务部周末发布的统计数据还显示，今年上半年，随着国家继续吸引外资进入人工智能、电子商务、制药和高端制造业等高科技产业，新成立的外商投资企业数量同比增长11.7%，达到30014家。The country's high-tech sector has become a major magnet for foreign capital thanks to its immense potential, with the percentage of utilized foreign investment in China's high-tech sector rising from 28.3 percent of the total in 2019 to 37.4 percent in 2023. In the first half of this year, foreign investment in e-commerce services alone recorded a nearly 130 percent year-on-year surge.由于其巨大的潜力，中国的高科技行业已成为吸引外资的主要力量，中国高科技行业利用外资的比例从2019年的28.3%上升到2023年的37.4%。今年上半年，仅电子商务服务领域的外国投资就同比激增近130%。The development of a highly advanced innovation ecosystem in China has prompted a lot of multinationals to expand their investment in the sector in light of the country's forward-looking strategy. Take BMW for example. The German auto giant plans to establish its first China-based information technology research and development center in Nanjing, which will represent a huge expansion of the company's digital capabilities. The center is set to be BMW's largest IT R&D hub in Asia, and it is designed to strengthen the automaker's global production, sales and after-sales systems through digital solutions rooted in China's rapidly evolving tech landscape. Explaining the decision, Franz Decker, president and CEO of BMW Brilliance Automotive, said during the signing ceremony with the local government on Friday that China "demonstrates remarkable vitality in building a thriving ecosystem for digital innovation".中国高度发达的创新生态系统的发展促使许多跨国公司根据国家的前瞻性战略扩大了对该行业的投资。以宝马为例。这家德国汽车巨头计划在南京建立其第一个中国信息技术研发中心，这将代表该公司数字能力的巨大扩张。该中心将成为宝马在亚洲最大的IT研发中心，旨在通过植根于中国快速发展的技术格局的数字解决方案，加强宝马的全球生产、销售和售后系统。华晨宝马汽车公司总裁兼首席执行官Franz Decker在周五与当地政府的签字仪式上解释了这一决定，他表示，中国“在建立繁荣的数字创新生态系统方面表现出了非凡的活力”。The third China International Supply Chain Expo, which concluded on Sunday in Beijing, has earned a reputation for being a showcase for technological innovation and China's new quality productive forces. The expo highlighted how the country has embraced an innovation-driven development strategy in pursuit of high-quality development, which is expected to bring immense business opportunities for foreign companies. "Here in China ... the technology adoption is so fast," said Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO, during an interview on the sidelines of the expo, citing how China's innovative applications are setting global trends. "The supply chain of China is a miracle. It is the largest and most complex in the world ... built on deep technology, AI and software."第三届中国国际供应链博览会于周日在北京闭幕，以展示技术创新和中国新型优质生产力而闻名。世博会强调了中国如何采取创新驱动的发展战略，追求高质量的发展，这有望为外国公司带来巨大的商机。英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋在世博会间隙接受采访时表示：“在中国……技术采用如此之快。”他引用了中国创新应用如何引领全球趋势。“中国的供应链是一个奇迹。它是世界上最大、最复杂的……建立在深厚的技术、人工智能和软件之上。”There have been some pointing to the actual use of FDI in China dropping 15.2 percent in the January-June period from a year earlier. Yet it should be noted that was amid a global decline in foreign investment, and the total volume of utilized FDI in China is 423.23 billion yuan, which remains significant. The decline can be attributed to the high comparison base last year. Any attempt to hype that foreign investment is leaving the country is out of ill intent.有人指出，1月至6月期间，中国实际使用的外国直接投资比去年同期下降了15.2%。然而，应该指出的是，在全球外国投资下降的情况下，中国利用的外国直接投资总额为4232.3亿元，仍然很可观。这一下降可归因于去年的高比较基数。任何炒作外国投资正在离开该国的企图都是出于恶意。In the past five years, the rate of return on FDI in China, at nearly 9 percent, still ranks among the highest around the world. It is the consensus among foreign investors that China remains an attractive destination for investment, not only because of its huge growth prospects, but also due to consistent government support aimed at enabling foreign-funded enterprises to achieve even greater success, as exemplified in an action plan that China released early this year to stabilize foreign investment.在过去的五年里，中国的外国直接投资回报率接近9%，仍然是世界上最高的。外国投资者普遍认为，中国仍然是一个有吸引力的投资目的地，这不仅是因为其巨大的增长前景，还因为政府一贯支持外资企业取得更大的成功，正如中国今年年初发布的一项稳定外国投资的行动计划所证明的那样。No matter how the external environment may evolve, China remains firmly committed to high-standard opening-up and always welcomes foreign companies to keep investing in China and explore the Chinese market to enjoy the country's development dividends and progress together.无论外部环境如何变化，中国都坚定地致力于高标准的对外开放，始终欢迎外国公司继续在中国投资，开拓中国市场，共同享受国家的发展红利和进步。multinationaln.跨国公司/ˌmʌltɪˈnæʃənəl/remarkable vitalityn.非凡的生命力/rɪˈmɑːkəbl vaɪˈtælɪti/

In this episode, Ron Pearce unpacks a powerful insight from Acts 7–9, where the early church grew “living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.” Ron explores three common views of fearing God—superstition, servitude, and true biblical reverence—and explains why only one brings peace and freedom. Drawing on real stories from global revivals, he reveals how believers are turning from fear-driven religion to joyful intimacy with God. This shift is transforming lives and fueling explosive church growth across the world.

Officials say the Chinese economy has demonstrated remarkable resilience during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, with the economic increment projected to exceed 35 trillion yuan.

As the global economy confronts heightened volatility, China is anchoring its strategy in one of its most enduring tools of governance, the five-year plans, to chart a steady course.随着全球经济面临更大的波动，中国正在将其战略锚定在其最持久的治理工具之一——五年计划中，以制定一条稳定的路线。With the 15th Five-Year Plan from2026 to 2030 now under development, policymakers are placing stronger emphasis on innovation, inclusive growth and domestic resilience as anchors for China's high-quality growth.随着第十五个五年计划（2026-30）的制定，政策制定者更加重视创新、包容性增长和国内韧性，将其作为中国高质量增长的支柱。The blueprint will serve as a source of certainty in a world grappling with rising uncertainty, and will present a China solution that shares opportunities with the rest of the world, analysts said.分析人士表示，在一个正在努力应对日益增加的不确定性的世界中，该蓝图将成为确定性的来源，并将提出一个与世界其他地区分享机会的中国解决方案。President Xi Jinping, in setting the tone for the making of the blueprint, reiterated China's twin imperatives: to resolutely manage its own affairs and to press ahead with high-level opening-up, this isa dual strategy aimed at reinforcing resilience at home while deepening engagement with the world.During a meeting with provincial leaders in April, Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, highlighted the need to set out goals and policy initiatives sector by sector, all aligned with the overarching objective of basically achieving socialist modernization by 2035.Dong Yu, executive vice-president of the China Institute for Development Planning at Tsinghua University, said that China's five-year plans, enacted upon approval by the nation's top legislature, help stabilize market expectations and ensure the consistency of major policies, unlike the frequent pivots seen in some major economies.清华大学中国发展规划研究院执行副院长董宇表示，中国经最高立法机构批准制定的五年计划有助于稳定市场预期，确保主要政策的一致性，这与一些主要经济体经常出现的支点不同。China launched its First Five-Year Planfrom1953 to 1957, four years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the making of the plans has long been a hallmark of China's strategic governance.中华人民共和国成立四年后，中国于1953年至1957年启动了第一个五年计划，该计划的制定长期以来一直是中国战略治理的标志。"What makes the five-year plans so vital is China's long-standing emphasis on medium- and long-term thinking," he said.他说：“五年计划之所以如此重要，是因为中国长期以来一直强调中长期思维。”。"The Party's governance philosophy has consistently prioritized carrying forward and innovating on major policy directions through a forward-looking strategic vision," said Dong, who has taken part in the policymaking process of three previous five-year plans.董曾参与前三个五年计划的决策过程，他说：“党的执政理念始终以前瞻性的战略眼光，优先推进和创新重大政策方向。”。The CPC Central Committee is now organizing the drafting of proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan. Public consultations — including online solicitations — are now underway, with input being collected from officials, experts and ordinary residents.中共中央正在组织起草“十五”计划方案。公众咨询，包括在线征求意见，目前正在进行中，收集了官员、专家和普通居民的意见。Dong noted that the drafting of the plan has begun earlier than in past cycles to ensure wider participation.董指出，为确保更广泛的参与，该计划的起草工作比以往周期更早开始。The final recommendations will be deliberated by a plenary session of the CPC Central Committee and submitted to the national legislature for approval next year.最终建议将由中共中央委员会决定，明年提交国家立法机构批准。"The scientific formulation and successive implementation of five-year plans is a key governance practice of the CPC and a major political strength of socialism with Chinese characteristics," Xi wrote in an article published in Qiushi Journal, the flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee.习近平在中共中央旗舰杂志《求是》上发表的一篇文章中写道：“科学制定和连续实施五年计划是中国共产党的一项重要执政实践，也是中国特色社会主义的一项主要政治力量。”。"Practice has shown that medium-and long-term development planning can both harness the decisive role of the market in resource allocation and give better play to the role of the government," Xi wrote.Analysts have pointed out that the 2026 to 2030 period could be a critical window for the world's second-largest economy to fulfill its goal of basically achieving modernization by 2035. They have underlined a more complex global landscape, including rising protectionism and simmering trade tensions, in addition to domestic challenges including the graying population.分析人士指出，2026-30年可能是世界第二大经济体实现到2035年基本实现现代化目标的关键窗口。他们强调了更复杂的全球格局，包括保护主义抬头和贸易紧张局势加剧，以及包括人口老龄化在内的国内挑战。During a meeting in May, the State Council, China's Cabinet, highlighted the need to anchor the nation's development strategy in strengthening the domestic economy and to leverage its inherent stability and long-term growth potential as a buffer against the rising uncertainties of the global economic cycle.在5月的一次会议上，中国国务院强调，需要将国家发展战略锚定在加强国内经济上，并利用其固有的稳定性和长期增长潜力，作为应对全球经济周期日益增加的不确定性的缓冲。Xi has highlighted giving further strategic priority to developing new quality productive forces in alignment with local conditions, and steadily advancing the drive for common prosperity, as key priorities in the next five years.Zhu Keli, founding director of the China Institute of New Economy, said the growth of new quality productive forces, featuring high technology, high efficiency and high quality, will help elevate China's position in global supply chains and build economic resilience and competitiveness over the next five years.中国新经济研究院创始院长朱克利表示，以高技术、高效率和高质量为特征的新型优质生产力的增长，将有助于提升中国在全球供应链中的地位，并在未来五年建立经济韧性和竞争力。"By targeting breakthroughs in core technologies and shoring up critical supply chains, the nation can pioneer the next stage of industrial development," he said.他说：“通过瞄准核心技术的突破和支撑关键供应链，国家可以引领下一阶段的工业发展。”。Zhu also highlighted the significance of expanding high-level opening-up going forward, which will enable the further integration of domestic and global markets.朱还强调了进一步扩大高水平对外开放的重要性，这将使国内和全球市场进一步融合。With birth rates falling and the population aging, expanding access to higher education and easing the burdens of childbearing are likely to become policy priorities.随着出生率下降和人口老龄化，扩大高等教育机会和减轻生育负担可能成为政策重点。"If a more supportive environment for childbearing can be established — one that allows people to better balance work and family life — it would play a critical role in stabilizing the population decline and securing sustainable economic development in the medium to long term," said Dong, from Tsinghua University.清华大学的董说：“如果能够建立一个更加支持生育的环境，让人们更好地平衡工作和家庭生活，这将在稳定人口下降和确保中长期经济可持续发展方面发挥关键作用。”。Li Shi, dean of the Institute for Common Prosperity and Development at Zhejiang University, said the raising of residential income and the narrowing of gaps in wealth and public services should be prioritized to advance the drive for common prosperity.浙江大学共同富裕与发展研究所所长李石表示，应优先提高居民收入，缩小贫富差距和公共服务差距，以推进共同富裕。Meanwhile, more targeted measures should be rolled out to improve the social safety net for people of low-income groups, the majority of whom live in rural areas, he said, adding that one policy direction could be raising the level of pension payments to elderly residents in rural areas.同时，他说，应推出更有针对性的措施，改善低收入群体的社会保障网，其中大多数生活在农村地区。他补充说，一个政策方向可能是提高农村老年居民的养老金水平。CPC Central Committeen.中共中央委员会common prosperityn.共同富裕

In this episode, Ron Pearce shares a timely and challenging message drawn from his conversations with national church leaders in Vietnam, India, China, and Ethiopia. When asked how they prepare believers for persecution, these leaders responded with a unified theme: teach God's perspective.Ron unpacks how believers around the world are learning to step back, see their suffering in light of eternity, and stand firm through hardship. You'll hear a gripping story from India, where new Christians were driven from their village and forced to live on the edge of the jungle—infested with biting flies—yet still refused to renounce Jesus. Why? Because they were equipped with the Truth of Scripture and a clear understanding of what truly matters.This episode challenges us in North America to shift from shallow responses to suffering toward a deeper, biblical foundation that prepares us for what's coming. It's not about escaping hardship—it's about seeing it from heaven's view.

IIn dieser Podcastfolge beleuchte ich die vielschichtige Welt chinesischer Cyberangriffe und erkläre, wie Chinas Cyberstrategie gezielt Wirtschaft, Politik und Militär im In- und Ausland beeinflusst. Du erfährst, wie Wirtschaftsspionage und technologische Wissensübertragung zentrale Ziele sind – gestützt durch nationale Programme wie „Made in China 2025“ und ambitionierte Fünfjahrespläne. Wir sprechen über die Rolle der Volksbefreiungsarmee (PLA) und neu geschaffener Cyber-Einheiten, die mit modernsten Methoden kritische Infrastrukturen angreifen. Anhand realer Beispiele wie den Operationen APT1, Volt Typhoon und Salt Typhoon zeige ich, wie chinesische Hackergruppen mit ausgefeilten Techniken westliche Unternehmen und Regierungen infiltrieren. Außerdem analysiere ich aktuelle Trends: Von gezielten, schwer erkennbaren Angriffen über den Einsatz von Zero-Day-Exploits bis hin zu Outsourcing an private Dienstleister. Du erfährst, wie China mit strengen Gesetzen und zentralisierter Kontrolle seine Cyberfähigkeiten stetig ausbaut – und warum gerade Deutschland dringend handeln muss, um sich vor chinesischen Cyberangriffen zu schützen.

Asian economies, with real GDP growth projected to be 4.5 percent for 2025, will continue to play a crucial role in driving global economic stability and growth, said a report released on Tuesday at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2025.周二在博鳌亚洲论坛2025年年会上发布的一份报告称，亚洲经济体2025年的实际GDP增长率预计将达到4.5%，将继续在推动全球经济稳定和增长方面发挥关键作用。The forum comes soon after the China Development Forum 2025, which ended on Monday, and gathered top government officials and business leaders from across the globe. Experts said the forums' key message is crystal clear, that Asia—spearheaded by China—is reinforcing its commitment to openness and stability, presenting a sharp contrast to the rising economic isolation featured by the United States'arbitrary sanctions and tariffs.此次论坛紧随周一闭幕的中国发展高层论坛2025年年会之后召开，汇集了来自世界各地的政府高官和商界领袖。专家表示，这两大论坛的关键信息非常明确，即以中国为首的亚洲正坚定推动开放和稳定，这与美国任意制裁和关税导致的经济孤立形成鲜明对比。The "Asian Economic Outlook and Integration Progress Annual Report 2025", which was released on Tuesday, forecast that the share of Asian economies' GDP in the world economy will rise from 36.1 percent in 2024 to 36.4 percent in 2025. In terms of purchasing power parity, a metric comparing economic productivity and standards of living between countries, Asia's share of the global economy is projected to rise from 48.1 percent to 48.6 percent this year.周二发布的《亚洲经济前景及一体化进程2025年度报告》预测，亚洲经济体GDP占世界经济的比重将从2024年的36.1%上升到2025年的36.4%。按照购买力平价（衡量各国经济生产率和生活水平的指标）计算，今年亚洲在全球经济中的比重预计将从48.1%上升到48.6%。Economies including China, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Mongolia, Cambodia and Indonesia are expected to maintain a high growth rate of over 5 percent this year, the report said.报告指出，中国、印度、越南、菲律宾、蒙古、柬埔寨和印度尼西亚等经济体今年有望保持5%以上的高增长率。Zhang Yuyan, a renowned economist and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said, "Such an economic performance means that Asia, as a key driver of the world economy, is set to benefit from global economic stabilization in 2025 and will also play a crucial role in contributing to this stability."著名经济学家、中国社会科学院学部委员张宇燕表示：“这样的经济表现意味着，作为全球经济的重要引擎，亚洲将在2025年受益于全球经济的稳定，并在其中发挥关键作用。”The report also said that despite economic uncertainties, including monetary policy shifts in major economies such as the US and the European Union, andgeopolitical tensions, most Asian stock markets are expected to maintain an upward trend this year.报告还指出，尽管面临包括美国和欧盟主要经济体货币政策调整及地缘政治紧张局势等不确定因素，但大多数亚洲股市今年预计仍将保持上行趋势。Amid such growth, China remains the region's most attractive destination for foreign investors. China's vibrant innovation in fields such as artificial intelligence, reflected by DeepSeek, has reinforced its status as asafe haven for entrepreneurship in a world where US sanctions pose increasing risks.在这样的增长态势下，中国依然是该地区最具吸引力的外资目的地。DeepSeek所反映的中国在人工智能等领域的蓬勃创新，巩固了其在美国制裁风险日益增加的世界中作为创业“避风港”的地位。Zhou Xiaochuan, a former governor of the People's Bank of China, said at the conference: "China is responding to global demands with responsibility and courage, continuing to provide stability and certainty to the world. As the year 2025 marks the conclusion of China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), China will further deepen comprehensive reforms and expand high-level opening-up.中国人民银行前行长周小川在会议上表示：“中国正以责任和勇气回应全球需求，持续为世界提供稳定性和确定性。是中国‘十四五'规划（2021—2025年）的收官之年，中国将进一步深化全面改革，扩大高水平对外开放。”"China will adopt a more proactive fiscal policy and a moderately accommodative monetary policy, boost consumption, enhance investment efficiency and expand domestic demand across all sectors," he said.他说：“中国将采取更加积极的财政政策和适度宽松的货币政策，促进消费，提高投资效率，扩大各领域内需。”Notably, the report highlighted that the trade war, which was initiated by the US in 2018, has not improved the US' standing in global manufacturing value chains. Instead, the gap between China and the US in this sector has widened.值得注意的是，报告强调，美国自2018年发起的贸易战并未提升其在全球制造业价值链中的地位，反而加大了中美在该领域的差距。Global intermediate goods trade has become more dependent on China than on North America. In 2023, the dependency on China stood at 16 percent, compared with 15 percent for North America, the report said.全球中间产品贸易对中国的依赖程度已经超过对北美的依赖程度。报告指出，全球对中国的依赖度为16%，而对北美的依赖度为15%。Lin Guijun, former vice-president of the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said: "The latest US tariffs have an impact on all major trade partners, not just China. Other nations are reacting in a fragmented and weak manner, lacking coordinated responses."北京对外经济贸易大学原副校长林桂军表示：“美国最新的关税政策影响的不仅是中国，而是所有主要贸易伙伴。其他国家的反应零散而薄弱，缺乏协调一致的应对措施。”Zhang, from the CASS, said: "While international cooperation once aimed at mutual benefit, many nations have shifted toward azero-sum game, and with the US' new trade measures, the situation has now worsened to anegative-sum game, where countries accept their own losses as long as their rivals suffer even more."中国社会科学院的张宇燕表示：“国际合作本应以互惠共赢为目标，但许多国家如今正转向零和博弈。随着美国出台新的贸易措施，情况进一步恶化，演变成负和博弈——即各国宁愿自身受损，也要让竞争对手遭受更大损失。”"But the world needs a more open economy based on cooperation and shared prosperity. True success comes not just from personal gain but from lifting others up as well," he said.“但世界需要一个基于合作和共同繁荣的更加开放的经济。真正的成功不仅在于自身获益，还在于能够带动他人共同发展。”他说。With the theme of "Asia in the Changing World: Towards a Shared Future", the four-day event has attracted nearly 2,000 participants from more than 60 countries and regions, according to the forum's organizing committee.据论坛组委会介绍，本届论坛的主题为“变局中的亚洲：迈向共同未来 ”，为期四天，吸引了来自60多个国家和地区的近2000名与会者。。Claus Rettig, president of German specialty chemicals giant Evonik Asia Pacific, who is attending this year's forum, said: "We have unwavering confidence in China's growth. The Asia-Pacific region is one of Evonik's fastest-expanding markets, and China sits at its core with the largest market share.德国特种化学品巨头赢创亚太区总裁克劳斯·雷蒂格在本届论坛上表示：“我们对中国的增长前景充满信心。亚太地区是赢创增长最快的市场之一，而中国是其核心，拥有最大的市场份额。”"China is the world's top chemical market, backed by a robustinfrastructure and a deeply integrated supply chain," he added. "We see China's economic strength as a solid foundation for growth and remain committed to expanding our investment here."“作为全球最大的化工市场，中国拥有坚实的基础设施和高度一体化的供应链。”他补充道，“我们认为中国的经济实力是增长的坚实基础，并将继续扩大在华投资。”Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2025.博鳌亚洲论坛2025年会spearheadv.带头sanctionsn.制裁tariffn.关税geopolitical tensions地缘政治紧张a safe haven避风港zero-sum game零和博弈negative-sum game负和博弈

As China concludes its 14th Five-Year Plan and prepares for the 15th, 2025 ushers in a transformative era focused on green and low-carbon transition, new consumption, and cultivating young talent - all highlighted at this year's Two Sessions. But challenges remain, such as institutional barriers and funding bottlenecks for private enterprises. As green transition and AI take center stage, how can young entrepreneurs reimagine business models to better align with tech innovation and ESG goals? And in the face of emerging consumer trends and global cultural IP expansion, how can young innovators leverage policies to stay competitive?

Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for a successful conclusion of the 14th Five-Year Plan for military development.

China targets an economic growth rate of around 5 percent in 2025, according to a government work report submitted Wednesday to the national legislature for deliberation.3月5日，国务院总理李强作政府工作报告，提交给全国人大审议。报告指出，2025年中国经济增长目标设定为5%左右。The report also outlines an array of other key development goals for this year, including a surveyed urban unemployment rate of around 5.5 percent, over 12 million new urban jobs, and an around 2 percent increase in the consumer price index.报告还概述了今年一系列其他关键发展目标，包括城镇调查失业率5.5%左右、城镇新增就业1200万人以上、居民消费价格涨幅2%左右。The country achieved economic growth of 5 percent in 2024 as an impactful policy package, along with other pro-growth measures, helped fuel strong economic momentum.2024年，在一系列有力政策组合及其他促增长措施的推动下，中国实现了5%的经济增长，展现出强劲的经济势头。On a global scale, an around 5 percent growth rate places China among the world's fastest-growing major economies, with the economic increment equating to the annual output of a mid-sized nation.从全球范围来看，5%左右的增长率让中国跻身世界增长最快的主要经济体之列，其经济增量相当于一个中等规模国家一年的产出。Huang Qunhui, a national political advisor from the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, described this year's economic growth target as scientifically grounded and realistic.全国政协委员、中国社会科学院经济研究所研究员黄群慧表示，今年的经济增长目标科学合理、切实可行。"In the face of a challenging global environment, the proactive and resilient goal suggests that China is braving uncertainties with a clear, determined approach to growth," he said.他说：“在全球环境充满挑战的背景下，这一积极且富有韧性的目标表明，中国正以清晰坚定的态度应对不确定性、推动经济增长。”As 2025 marks the final year of China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) period and is also crucial to crafting the next five-year blueprint, observers believe that the government policies will not only drive sustained growth this year but also lay the groundwork for the country's modernization drive in the long run.2025年是中国“十四五”规划（2021-2025年）的最后一年，也是制定下一个五年计划的关键时期。观察人士认为，政府政策不仅将推动今年经济持续增长，还将为国家的长期现代化进程奠定基础。Fostering high-quality development is a key focus on this year's government agenda, with priorities ranging from stimulating domestic demand to developing new quality productive forces.今年政府工作议程的重点是推动高质量发展，工作重心包括刺激内需、发展新质生产力。"We will take a people-centered approach and place a stronger economic policy focus on improving living standards and boosting consumer spending," the report said.报告指出：“我们将坚持以人民为中心，经济政策的着力点更多转向惠民生、促消费。”Domestic demand will be made the main engine and anchor of economic growth, the report said. Ultra-long special treasury bonds totaling 300 billion yuan will be issued to support consumer goods trade-in programs.报告表示，要让内需成为拉动经济增长的主动力和稳定锚。安排超长期特别国债3000亿元，支持消费品以旧换新。New quality productive forces will be nurtured in light of local conditions, according to the report. China aims to foster emerging and future industries, such as quantum technology and the low-altitude economy, accelerate the upgrading of traditional industries, and combine digital technologies including AI with manufacturing and market strengths. 报告提出，将因地制宜发展新质生产力。中国将培育量子技术、低空经济等新兴未来产业，加快传统产业改造升级，并将人工智能等数字技术与制造业和市场优势相结合。incrementn.增加，增长

President Xi Jinping underlined on Wednesday the need for Jiangsu province, one of China's economic powerhouses, to lead the integration of sci-tech and industrial innovation, the deepening of reform and high-level opening-up, and the nation's common prosperity drive.The president, who represents Jiangsu as a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, told his fellow deputies from the province that the nation's economic powerhouses must take the lead as China strives to achieve its targets set out in the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25).Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks in Beijing when he took part in a deliberation with his fellow lawmakers during the third session of the 14th NPC.He spoke after six deputies shared their insights on issues such as accelerating green and low-carbon transformation and advancing industrial and technological innovation.He explained that sci-tech and industrial innovation is the fundamental pathway for the development of new quality productive forces—featuring high technology, high efficiency and high quality, and aligning with the country's new development philosophy.The president highlighted the need to advance education, science and talent development in tandem—both to generate more technological breakthroughs and to transform them into tangible productive forces.In driving industrial innovation, the nation must anchor its efforts in the real economy, balancing the upgrade of traditional industries with the cultivation of strategic emerging sectors and future industries, he said, adding that the role of enterprises as key drivers of innovation must be bolstered to ensure a seamless connection between innovation and industry.Jiangsu's GDP grew 5.8 percent year-on-year to 13.7 trillion yuan ($1.89 trillion) in 2024, registering the greatest increase in GDP volume in the nation last year, according to the provincial government.The province must take the lead in deepening reform and opening-up and keep removing obstacles and boosting momentum, Xi said.He urged the province to promote urban-rural integration and regional coordination, optimize the layout of productive forces, and focus on driving high-quality development.A level playing field must be offered to businesses of various ownership types, and continuous efforts must be made to improve the business environment, Xi said, adding that the province must expand institutional opening-up and keep expanding the room for international cooperation.The president encouraged Jiangsu to play a proactive role in the nation's major strategies, including the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta and the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, adding that it is important for the province to step up its alignment with strategies such as the coordinated development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.He also highlighted the need for the region to better integrate itself into the high-quality building of the Belt and Road, guarantee that its farmland will not fall below the red line, ensure food security and protect its ecology and environment.Xi then made the case for the nation's major economic powerhouses to lead the way in the common prosperity drive. Jiangsu, with a population of 85.26 million in 2023, should make solid steps in advancing comprehensive rural vitalization, urban-rural integration and consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation, he said.

Greetings to everybody! Time flies fast, and the new year will be with us shortly. I extend my best wishes to you all from Beijing.大家好！时间过得很快，新的一年即将到来，我在北京向大家致以美好的祝福！In 2024, we have together journeyed through the four seasons. Together, we have experienced winds and rains and seen rainbows. Those touching and unforgettable moments have been like still frames showing how extraordinary a year we have had.2024年，我们一起走过春夏秋冬，一道经历风雨彩虹，一个个瞬间定格在这不平凡的一年，令人感慨、难以忘怀。We have proactively responded to the impacts of the changing environment at home and abroad. We have adopted a full range of policies to make solid gains in pursuing high-quality development. China's economy has rebounded and is on an upward trajectory, with its GDP for the year expected to pass the 130 trillion yuan mark. Grain output has surpassed 700 million tons, and China's bowls are now filled with more Chinese grain. Coordinated development across regions has gained stronger momentum, and mutually reinforcing advances have been made in both new urbanization and rural revitalization. Green and low-carbon development has been further enhanced. Indeed, a more beautiful China is unfolding before us.我们积极应对国内外环境变化带来的影响，出台一系列政策“组合拳”，扎实推动高质量发展，我国经济回暖向好，国内生产总值预计超过130万亿元。粮食产量突破1.4万亿斤，中国碗装了更多中国粮。区域发展协同联动、积厚成势，新型城镇化和乡村振兴相互融合、同频共振。绿色低碳发展纵深推进，美丽中国画卷徐徐铺展。We have fostered new quality productive forces in light of actual conditions. New business sectors, forms and models have kept emerging. For the first time, China has produced more than 10 million new energy vehicles in a year. Breakthroughs have been made in integrated circuit, artificial intelligence, quantum communications and many other fields. Also for the first time, the Chang'e-6 lunar probe collected samples from the far side of the moon. The Mengxiang drilling vessel explored the mystery of the deep ocean. The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link now connects the two cities across the sea. The Antarctic Qinling Station is now in operation on the frozen continent. All this epitomizes the lofty spirit and dreams of the Chinese people to explore stars and oceans.我们因地制宜培育新质生产力，新产业新业态新模式竞相涌现，新能源汽车年产量首次突破1000万辆，集成电路、人工智能、量子通信等领域取得新成果。嫦娥六号首次月背采样，梦想号探秘大洋，深中通道踏浪海天，南极秦岭站崛起冰原，展现了中国人逐梦星辰大海的豪情壮志。This year, I have visited many places across the country and seen how our people enjoy their enriching lives. I saw the big, red Huaniu apples in Tianshui, Gansu and the fishing boats in Aojiao Village, Fujian loaded with their catches. I watched the millenium-old "Eastern Smile" in the Maiji Mountain Grottoes, and I learned more about good-neighborliness passed from generation to generation in Liuchixiang Alley. I enjoyed the hustle and bustle in Tianjin's Ancient Culture Street, and I saw how the people in Yinchuan's mixed-ethnic residential communities live together as one family. The concerns of the people about jobs and incomes, elderly and child care, education and medical services are always on my mind. This year, basic pension has been raised, and mortgage rates have dropped. Cross-province direct settlement of medical bills has been expanded, making it easier for people to seek medical treatment across the country. And consumer goods trade-in programs have improved people's lives... All these are real benefits to our people.今年，我到地方考察，看到大家生活多姿多彩。天水花牛苹果又大又红，东山澳角村渔获满舱。麦积山石窟“东方微笑”跨越千年，六尺巷礼让家风代代相传。天津古文化街人潮熙攘，银川多民族社区居民亲如一家。对大家关心的就业增收、“一老一小”、教育医疗等问题，我一直挂念。一年来，基础养老金提高了，房贷利率下调了，直接结算范围扩大方便了异地就医，消费品以旧换新提高了生活品质……大家的获得感又充实了许多。In the Paris Olympics, Chinese athletes raced to the top and achieved their best performance in Olympic Games held overseas, fully demonstrating the vigor and confidence of young Chinese. The PLA Navy and Air Force celebrated their 75th birthdays, and our servicemen and women are full of drive. When floods, typhoons and other natural disasters struck, members of the Communist Party of China and officials stepped forward to lead disaster relief efforts, and our people were of one mind and reached out to each other. People in all fields -- workers, builders and entrepreneurs, among others -- are working hard to fulfill their dreams. I presented awards to recipients of national medals and honorary titles. The honor belongs to them; it also belongs to every hard-working person who has lived up to their responsibilities.巴黎奥运赛场上，我国体育健儿奋勇争先，取得境外参赛最好成绩，彰显了青年一代的昂扬向上、自信阳光。海军、空军喜庆75岁生日，人民子弟兵展现新风貌。面对洪涝、台风等自然灾害，广大党员干部冲锋在前，大家众志成城、守望相助。无数劳动者、建设者、创业者，都在为梦想拼搏。我为国家勋章和国家荣誉称号获得者颁奖，光荣属于他们，也属于每一个挺膺担当的奋斗者。In a world of both transformation and turbulence, China, as a responsible major country, is actively promoting global governance reform and deepening solidarity and cooperation among the Global South. We are making deeper and more substantive advances in high-quality Belt and Road cooperation. The Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation was a full success. We put forward China's vision at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, BRICS, APEC, G20 and other bilateral and multilateral forums. We have contributed greatly to the maintenance of world peace and stability.当今世界变乱交织，中国作为负责任大国，积极推动全球治理变革，深化全球南方团结合作。我们推进高质量共建“一带一路”走深走实，成功举办中非合作论坛北京峰会，在上合、金砖、亚太经合组织、二十国集团等双边多边场合，鲜明提出中国主张，为维护世界和平稳定注入更多正能量。We celebrated the 75th anniversary of the founding of New China. With deep affection, we looked back at the sea change that has taken place across China since the birth of the People's Republic. Nurtured by our 5,000-plus years of continuous civilization, our country, China, is engraved not only on the bottom of the ancient bronze ritual wine vessel of He Zun, but also in the heart of every Chinese. At its Third Plenary Session, the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sounded a clarion call for further deepening all-round reform. We will march forward in great strides to advance reform and opening up as the trend of our times. We will surely embrace even broader prospects in pursuing Chinese modernization in the course of reform and opening up.我们隆重庆祝新中国成立75周年，深情回望共和国的沧桑巨变。从五千多年中华文明的传承中一路走来，“中国”二字镌刻在“何尊”底部，更铭刻在每个华夏儿女心中。党的二十届三中全会胜利召开，吹响进一步全面深化改革的号角。我们乘着改革开放的时代大潮阔步前行，中国式现代化必将在改革开放中开辟更加广阔的前景。In 2025, we will fully complete the 14th Five-Year Plan. We will implement more proactive and effective policies, pursue high-quality development as a top priority, promote greater self-reliance and strength in science and technology, and maintain sound momentum in economic and social development. The Chinese economy now faces some new conditions, including challenges of uncertainties in the external environment and pressure of transformation from old growth drivers into new ones. But we can prevail with our hard work. As always, we grow in the wind and rain, and we get stronger through hard times. We must be confident.2025年，我们将全面完成“十四五”规划。要实施更加积极有为的政策，聚精会神抓好高质量发展，推动高水平科技自立自强，保持经济社会发展良好势头。当前经济运行面临一些新情况，有外部环境不确定性的挑战，有新旧动能转换的压力，但这些经过努力是可以克服的。我们从来都是在风雨洗礼中成长、在历经考验中壮大，大家要充满信心。Of all the jobs in front of us, the most important is to ensure a happy life for our people. Every family hopes that their children can have a good education, their seniors can enjoy good elderly services, and their youngsters can have more and better opportunities. These simple wishes are our people's aspirations for a better life. We should work together to steadily improve social undertakings and governance, build a harmonious and inclusive atmosphere, and settle real issues, big or small, for our people. We must bring more smiles to our people and greater warmth to their hearts.家事国事天下事，让人民过上幸福生活是头等大事。家家户户都盼着孩子能有好的教育，老人能有好的养老服务，年轻人能有更多发展机会。这些朴实的愿望，就是对美好生活的向往。我们要一起努力，不断提升社会建设和治理水平，持续营造和谐包容的氛围，把老百姓身边的大事小情解决好，让大家笑容更多、心里更暖。On the eve of the 25th anniversary of Macao's return to the motherland, I visited the city again, and I was gratified to see the new progress and changes there. We will unswervingly implement the policy of One Country, Two Systems to maintain long-term prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and Macao. We Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one and the same family. No one can ever sever the bond of kinship between us, and no one can ever stop China's reunification, a trend of the times.在澳门回归祖国25周年之际，我再到濠江之畔，新发展新变化令人欣喜。我们将坚定不移贯彻“一国两制”方针，保持香港、澳门长期繁荣稳定。两岸同胞一家亲，谁也无法割断我们的血脉亲情，谁也不能阻挡祖国统一的历史大势！As changes unseen in a century accelerate across the world, it is important to rise above estrangement and conflict with a broad vision, and care for the future of humanity with great passion.

In China's 14th Five-Year Plan that spans from 2021 to 2025, priority was assigned to development of emerging technologies that could be both disruptive and foundational for the future. China is now a global leader in AI technology and is poised to overtake the West and become the world leader in AI in the years ahead. Importantly, there is growing evidence that AI-enabled military capabilities are becoming increasingly central to Chinese military concepts for fighting future wars.A recently released report provides insights on Chinese perspectives on military use of AI. Published by Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET), the report illustrates some of the key challenges Chinese defense experts have identified in developing and fielding AI-related technologies and capabilities. Host Bonnie Glaser is joined by the author of this report, Sam Bresnick, who is a Research Fellow at Georgetown's CSET focusing on AI applications and Chinese technology policy.  TimestampsB[00:00] Start[01:33] Impetus for the Georgetown CSET Report[03:34] China's Assessment of the Impacts of AI and Emerging Technologies[06:32] Areas of Debate Among Chinese Scholars[09:39] Evidence of Progress in the Military Application of AI[12:13] Lack of Trust Amongst Chinese Experts in Existing Technologies[14:25] Constraints in the Development and Implementation of AI[18:20] Chinese Expert Recommendations for Mitigating AI Risk[23:01] Implications Taken from Discussions on AI Risk[25:14] US-China Areas of Discussion on the Military Use of AI[28:50] Unilateral Steps Toward Risk Mitigation

During the 1930s over 100,000 American workers left the USA and crossed the Atlantic to the USSR. There they worked in automobile plants and other industrial enterprises of Stalin's Five Year Plans. The crisis of capitalism that was evident through the great depression and the seeming dynamism of Stalin's USSR and its rapid construction of industry convinced many that Soviet communism was the future. This podcast explores the fortunes of Stalin's American guest workers, many of whom took Soviet citizenship and were swallowed up by the terror as Stalin's NKVD searched for spies and imagined enemies and found a ready supply of victims in the large pool of foreign workers that had come to the USSR.

In today's rapidly changing world, clinging to the traditional five-year strategic plan is not just outdated—it's impractical.
