China's emphasis on accelerating the development of the digital economy and advancing the concept of "Digital China" will give the country a competitive edge in strategic emerging sectors and safeguard global security, said officials and experts.官员和专家表示，中国强调加快发展数字经济，推进“数字中国”建设，将增强中国在战略性新兴领域的竞争优势，维护全球安全。Emphasizing that the boom of cutting-edge digital technologies has emerged as a new engine driving China's economic growth, they called for heightened efforts to push forward the construction of digital infrastructure, bolster the deeper integration of the real and digital economies, and promote technological innovation and the application of rapidly evolving artificial intelligence in a wider range of sectors.他们强调，尖端数字技术蓬勃发展，已成为中国经济增长的新引擎，并呼吁加大力度推进数字基础设施建设，促进实体经济和数字经济深度融合，推动技术创新和快速发展的人工智能在更广泛领域的应用。When delivering a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Second World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province, in December 2015, President Xi Jinping said that China is implementing the "Internet Plus" action plan and advancing the building of a "Digital China".2015年12月，习近平主席在浙江乌镇举行的第二届世界互联网大会开幕式上发表主旨演讲时表示，中国正在实施“互联网+”行动计划，推进“数字中国”建设。In a congratulatory letter sent to the first Digital China Summit, which opened in April 2018 in Fuzhou, Fujian province, Xi called for fostering new driving forces through informatization, in order to promote new development and make new achievements.2018年4月，首届数字中国建设峰会在福建福州开幕，习近平主席向峰会致贺信。他强调，要通过信息化培育新动能，推动新发展、取得新成就。He emphasized that digitalization, networking and the application of intelligent technologies, which have been greatly developed, are playing increasingly important roles in promoting social and economic development, modernizing China's governance capacity, and meeting the people's ever-growing needs for a better life.他强调，数字化、网络化、智能化技术应用水平显著提升，在促进经济社会发展、推进国家治理能力现代化、满足人民日益增长的美好生活需要方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。This year marks the 10th anniversary of the nation's efforts to construct a "Digital China". China's digital economy has gained strong momentum in recent years, with remarkable achievements made in fields such as artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, industrial software and basic software.今年是“数字中国建设”十周年。近年来，中国数字经济发展势头强劲，人工智能、集成电路、工业软件、基础软件等领域取得了令人瞩目的成就。The added value of core industries of the digital economy accounted for about 10 percent of GDP in 2024, while the total data output reached 41.06 zettabytes, marking a robust 25 percent year-on-year increase, according to the "Digital China Development Report 2024" released by the National Data Administration.根据国家数据局发布的《数字中国发展报告（2024年）》，到2024年，数字经济核心产业增加值占GDP比重将达到10%左右，数据总输出量将达到41.06泽字节，同比增长25%。The report said the total scale of China's computing power reached 280 EFLOPS last year. EFLOPS is a unit of the speed of computer systems and is equal to 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second. Furthermore, it said, the country had built more than 4.25 million 5G base stations by the end of December.报告称，去年中国计算能力总规模达到280 EFLOPS。EFLOPS是计算机系统速度的单位，相当于每秒进行100万亿次浮点运算。此外，报告还称，截至12月底，中国已建成超过425万个5G基站。"To accelerate the building of a 'Digital China', it is crucial to seize the unprecedented opportunities brought about by AI," said Liu Liehong, head of the NDA, at the recently concluded 8th Digital China Summit, highlighting the significance of advancing reforms related to the market-oriented allocation of data elements and implementing the AI Plus initiative.“加快建设‘数字中国'，关键是要抓住人工智能带来的前所未有的机遇。”国家数据局局长刘烈宏在刚刚闭幕的第八届数字中国建设峰会上表示，他强调推进数据要素市场化配置改革、实施“人工智能+”战略具有重要意义。Noting that data serves as a new type of production factor, Liu said that more efforts are needed to increase the supply of high-quality data, accelerate the integration of data elements with AI, technological innovation and industrial development and application, and press ahead with the construction of national computing power infrastructure.刘烈宏指出，数据是新型生产要素，需要加大优质数据供给力度，加快数据要素与人工智能的融合发展、技术创新和产业发展应用，推进国家算力基础设施建设。He noted that new computing power in major computing hubs will account for more than 60 percent of the country's total by the end of this year, and called for cultivating a national integrated data market, establishing standards and systems for data circulation and transaction, and strengthening international cooperation in the digital economy domain.他指出，到今年年底，主要计算枢纽新增算力将占全国新增算力的60%以上。他呼吁培育全国一体化数据市场，建立数据流通交易标准体系，加强数字经济领域的国际合作。Luo Zhongwei, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Industrial Economics, said, "Innovative digital technologies represented by AI, 5G, cloud computing and big data are currently finding a wide range of applications across various industries such as manufacturing, finance and healthcare, and speeding up their integration with the real economy."中国社会科学院工业经济研究所研究员罗仲伟表示：“以人工智能、5G、云计算、大数据等为代表的创新数字技术，正在制造业、金融业、医疗健康等各行各业得到广泛应用，并与实体经济加速融合。”Luo said that facilitating the development of the digital economy is of vital significance for nurturing new quality productive forces, propelling the intelligent transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and consolidating economic recovery momentum, in order to drive a shift from old growth drivers to new ones amid a volatile external environment and tariff pressures from the United States.罗仲伟表示，在外部环境动荡、美国关税压力加大等背景下，推动数字经济发展对于培育新的优质生产力、推动传统产业智能化转型升级、巩固经济复苏势头、促进新旧动能转换具有重要意义。To gain an upper hand amid increasingly fierce international competition, Luo stressed the need to double down on indigenous innovation to make breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields like raw materials, precision components and high-end equipment, and expand the industrial application scenarios of advanced technologies.为了在日益激烈的国际竞争中占据先机，罗仲伟强调，必须加大自主创新力度，突破原材料、精密零部件、高端装备等关键领域的核心技术，拓展先进技术的产业应用场景。In February 2023, China unveiled a plan for the overall layout of its digital development, vowing to make important progress in the construction of a "Digital China" by 2025, with effective interconnectivity in digital infrastructure, a significantly improved digital economy and major breakthroughs in digital technological innovation. By 2035, the nation is expected to be at the global forefront of digital development.2023年2月，中国公布了《数字中国建设整体布局规划》，提出到2025年，“数字中国”建设要取得重要进展，数字基础设施有效互联互通，数字经济水平显著提升，数字技术创新取得重大突破。到2035年，中国数字发展水平要位居世界前列。"As a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is evolving, promoting the in-depth integration of digital technologies with the real economy is a necessary requirement for establishing a modern industrial system and a strategic choice of forging new competitive advantages on the global stage," said Pan Helin, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Expert Committee for Information and Communication Economy.工信部信息通信经济专家委员会委员盘和林表示：“新一轮科技革命和产业变革正在兴起，推动数字技术与实体经济深度融合，是构建现代产业体系的必然要求，也是打造国际竞争新优势的战略选择。”The move to develop the digital economy is conducive to enhancing the resilience of industrial and supply chains, advancing new industrialization and realizing Chinese modernization, Pan said.他指出，发展数字经济有利于增强产业链供应链韧性，推进新型工业化，实现中国式现代化。He added that a bigger push is needed to reinforce the dominant position of enterprises in boosting sci-tech advancements, increase financial support for innovation-oriented tech companies, and strengthen the training of high-caliber talent.他补充说，需要加大力度巩固企业在科技进步中的主体地位，加大对创新型科技企业的资金支持，加强高层次人才培养。Wu Jianping, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said the emergence of state-of-the-art digital technologies has laid a solid foundation for unleashing the value of massive data elements, which underscores the significance of safeguarding data security, a prerequisite to ensuring the orderly development of the data industry.中国工程院院士吴建平表示，先进数字技术的出现为释放海量数据要素的价值奠定了坚实基础，保障数据安全对于数据产业有序发展至关重要。AI seen as key人工智能被视为关键AI, which has entered a stage of explosive growth, is spearheading the development of the digital economy and is being integrated into every facet of industrial revolution and people's lives.人工智能已进入爆发式增长阶段，引领数字经济发展，并融入到产业变革和人们生活的方方面面。Robin Li, co-founder and CEO of Chinese tech giant Baidu Inc, said that the application of AI technology is reshaping the industrial landscape and will be a transformative force that revolutionizes development over the next 40 years.中国科技巨头百度公司联合创始人兼首席执行官李彦宏表示，人工智能技术的应用正在重塑产业格局，将成为未来40年发展变革的变革力量。Li said the goal of the intelligent transformation of industries and society through AI is to fulfill people's needs—making technology meaningful only if it serves humanity by creating more value and contributing to society.李彦宏表示，人工智能推动行业和社会智能化转型的目标是满足人的需求——只有服务于人类，创造更多价值，贡献社会，技术才有意义。Zhou Hongyi, founder of Chinese internet enterprise 360 Security Group, said: "Looking ahead, the growth potential of China's economy will come from industrial upgrading driven by technological innovation, while AI represented by large language models will give birth to new production and business models in traditional fields such as manufacturing, agriculture and services, creating more social value."中国互联网企业360安全集团创始人周鸿祎表示：“展望未来，中国经济的增长潜力将来自技术创新驱动的产业升级，而以大型语言模型为代表的人工智能将催生制造业、农业、服务业等传统领域的新型生产和商业模式，创造更多社会价值。”Zhou said 360 Security Group will focus on digital security and AI, adding that it is important to promote the digital transformation of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, as they face mounting pressure from a shortage of capital, talent and technology.周鸿祎表示，360安全集团将专注于数字安全和人工智能领域，并指出，推动中小微企业数字化转型至关重要，因为它们面临着日益增长的资金、人才和技术短缺压力。Denis Depoux, global managing director of market consultancy Roland Berger, said, "China has made rapid progress in the development of AI technology, becoming one of the global leaders, and the pace will further accelerate. AI will unlock massive opportunities for our business."市场咨询公司罗兰贝格全球管委会联席总裁丹尼斯·德普表示：“中国在人工智能技术发展方面取得了快速进步，已成为全球领先者之一，而且这一步伐还将进一步加快。人工智能将为我们的业务带来巨大的机遇。”Foreign companies can play a bigger role in supporting China's transformation in fields such as decarbonization and the digitalization of industrial and supply chains, he added.他补充说，外国公司可以在支持中国在低碳化、产业链和供应链数字化等领域转型方面发挥更大作用。digitization/ˌdɪdʒɪtaɪˈzeɪʃn/n.数字化resilience/rɪˈzɪliəns/n.韧性；恢复力interconnectivity/ˌɪntərkəˌnekˈtɪvəti/n.相互连接的状态或能力recalibration/ˌriːˌkælɪˈbreɪʃn/n.再校准；重新调整

In this conversation, Saheb and Amit examine the three major structural dilemmas facing China's economy: a persistently low domestic consumption rate of around 40 percent of GDP, making China an outlier among large economies; the Chinese state's reluctance to adopt fiscal stimulus due to its ideological opposition to welfarism; and a sharp slowdown in real estate investment that has had ripple effects across the broader economy. They also discuss how China's enduring trade surpluses, particularly with the U.S., EU, and India are generating international pushback. Despite high trade volumes, Amit highlights the limited nature of Chinese investment in India, noting that economic outreach from China is driven less by genuine market interest and more by geopolitical calculations. The episode further explores why China's engagement with regions like Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia cannot substitute for the demand found in Western markets. The episode also looks at how India's large and growing consumer market could make it a prime destination for companies relocating under the China Plus One strategy, even if Chinese firms themselves remain reluctant to invest directly. Finally, the discussion draws a clear line between China's diplomatic messaging and its actual economic practices, revealing a gap that continues to shape global perceptions.Episode ContributorsAmit Kumar is a Staff Research Analyst at the China desk of the Indo-Pacific Studies Programme.

It's not a market we can afford to lose,” Ryan Zhou, who runs a novelty gift business in eastern China, said, as reported by the SCMP. Zhou is opening a new facility in Dallas next month as a result of a 90% tariff on Chinese shipments to the United States. Zhu Ning, a consultant who advises Chinese firms on overseas expansion, says he's handled more than 100 relocation inquiries in the last four months alone, a level of interest that was unheard of before Trump's tariffs kicked in, per the SCMP. These are not American companies coming back, but they are Chinese companies coming in to the United States for the first time. For years, they undercut American workers by exploiting loopholes and subsidies, leading to an influx of cheap goods and synthetic goods. Now they are scrambling to stay afloat. Now, Chinese petrochemical firms are starting to plant roots in the United States. Ye Yingmin, the founder of a chemical consulting firm in Beijing, says the United States has become a hotbed of interest for Chinese investment. “We're seeing Chinese firms preparing to invest heavily in places like Texas,” Ye told the SCMP.  Source: libertdaily.com https://twitter.com/IanJaeger29/status/1919452951984087307 What Recession: Goldman Now Expects Q2 GDP To Surge To 2.4%   We didn't have long to wait, and with most banks now quietly revising their economic estimates higher - certainly far more quietly than they were to declare that a recession is imminent - overnight Goldman became the flagbearer (bearing the white flag that is), when Hatzius published a report in which he now anticipates Q2 surging to 2.4% from -0.3%, which would make it higher than the average GDP print reported  since the start of 2022. Not only that, but when discussing the -0.3% GDP print for Q1, Goldman said that "inventory investment was significantly understated, which means that GDP was significantly understated too." In short, Q1 GDP will be revised positive, and Q2 could push to 3% or higher! Q1 GDP printed at -0.3% annualized, but frontloading of imports probably significantly understates this number. In theory, frontloading should be neutral because it boosts imports (which enter the calculation of expenditure-side GDP negatively) but raises consumer spending, business fixed investment, and inventory investment (which all enter positively) by an equal ...

Read the full transcript here. How bad are things in US education? Why does it seem that educational progress has stagnated? What parts of the US education system should be reformed? Is it better to group students by skill level or by age? How useful are standardized tests? Why is there so commonly a disconnect between what cognitive science tells us about how people learn and the practices that are actually implemented in classrooms? How much do we know about what it's like in schools today? What did the No Child Left Behind act get wrong? What should educational incentive structures look like? Is individual student progress constrained more by interest or intelligence? In the grand scheme of things, how big of a problem is classroom management? What happened in the FAA hiring scandal? Did it increase the risks associated with flying? How could the FAA have better achieved its own ends?Jack Despain Zhou, also known online as Tracing Woodgrains, is the cofounder of the Center for Educational Progress, a nonprofit focused on reorienting education around a culture of excellence.

In this episode of WAIT. HOLD UP...WHAT?, host Dawne Hanks sits down with Zhou Fang, a journalist with a unique perspective on navigating privilege, gender, and success across two cultures. Zhou's journey from growing up in a STEM-heavy family in China to transitioning into journalism in the U.S. offers invaluable insights into the complexities of being an immigrant in the workplace.Zhou reflects on how she initially believed in the myth of the American Dream—thinking that working hard and keeping her head down would be enough to "make it." But as she entered the tech and compliance industries, the realities of privilege, networking, and identity began to surface. Zhou shares her experiences of being told to “smile more” in performance reviews and being constantly assumed to be junior due to her age, gender, and immigrant status. At 30, she found herself grappling with how to break through these biases.The conversation also touches on the gender pay gap and why pay transparency is essential for achieving real equity in the workplace. Zhou explains how, without transparency, it's nearly impossible to assess whether pay is equitable, especially when employees can't compare their salaries with their peers. This lack of visibility leads to confusion and frustration, making it difficult for anyone to determine if they're being fairly compensated.Throughout the episode, Zhou emphasizes how the fight for women's financial equality is often slow and invisible. The intersectionality of her immigrant status, gender, and age plays a major role in the challenges she faces. This conversation provides a candid and insightful look into the obstacles women face in industries that undervalue them and underscores the importance of transparency in creating a more equitable future.This episode offers a powerful conversation about navigating the realities of being a woman of color in a biased workplace and the need for real pay transparency. Tune in to hear Zhou's perspective and why these issues matter now more than ever.

Die Hälfte der Menschheit hat keinen Zugang zu sicherer, sauberer Sanitärversorgung. Doch Wasserklosetts sind nicht die Lösung. Wie also müssen wir umdenken?  Unsere Autorin Lena Bodewein hat als Korrespondentin in Südostasien an vielen Orten gesehen, was für Auswirkungen eine mangelnde Sanitärversorgung hat: Ohne Toiletten können sich Infektionskrankheiten verbreiten - 800 Kinder unter fünf Jahren sterben täglich an Durchfallerkrankungen. Aber auch Antibiotikaresistenzen spielen eine Rolle, Frauen sind mehr Gewaltverbrechen ausgesetzt, Mädchen gehen oft nicht zur Schule. Im Gespräch mit Host Lucie Kluth erklärt Lena, warum Forschende sich mit dem Problem auch kulturell beschäftigen und was für ungewohnte Lösungsansätze es gibt. Denn unser Abwasserkonzept lässt sich nicht einfach auf den globalen Süden übertragen, viel zu viel Trinkwasser wird dabei vergeudet.

Today we dive into a tantalizing “kinesthetic framework for curiosity” a way of understanding how we move between ideas and bits of information. Researcher Dale Zhou thinks of our curiosity as our search process in specific conditions. His research shows we've each got our own style — and that architecture can be mapped using knowledge networks.

Follow us on Instagram @yourdietsuckspod!This week, Kylee and Zoë take a deep dive into ultra-processed foods: what they are, where they came from, how they're designed to light up your brain's reward systems, and what role they play in athletic nutrition. We talk about everything from cereal meant to prevent sinning to the low-fat diet craze, the war-time origins of shelf-stable food, and the engineering behind the foods that are hyper-palatable.We also get into the landmark NIH study that showed just how much processing—not just calories or macros—can influence how much we eat, how full we feel, and how our bodies respond to food. This episode is about helping you understand the systems at play, so you can make choices that support your health and performance without getting caught in fear or shame about the food you eat. Because when it comes to ultra-processed foods, context matters—especially for athletes.

What happens when a sociology major dabbles in accounting, dips into venture capital, and then rewrites her script—literally? You get Jean Zhou. Now a filmmaker and CEO of Wind Entertainment, Jean's career plotline includes more genre shifts than a Netflix queue. She traded spreadsheets for screenplays and hasn't looked back since.Key Highlights of Our Interview:Creating Stories: Founding Wind Entertainment“In 2019, I founded Wind Entertainment. Initially, we incubated writers and even won several Best Novel Awards. By 2020, we ventured into drama series, writing our first script, The Starry Love. It aired on four TV stations in China and was distributed to over 30 countries.”Sociology: A Bridge Between Business and Humanity“Sociology opened my worldview and helped me understand people better. Ultimately, the business world is about relationships—between people and people. Sociology gave me insights into the social mind and thoughts, which help decode the essence of business.”The Seeds of a Producer's Journey“As a child, I had to go to bed at 9 p.m., even though TV programming continued until 10. That early frustration planted the idea in my mind—one day, I'd take control of storytelling. Fast forward to 2018, when I watched the TV series Ashes of Love and realized it was the most incredible thing to create a project like that. I decided it was something I had to try, at least once in my life.”The Limitations of AI in Screenwriting“While AI brings efficiency, its impact on screenwriting remains minimal. Scripts are tailored works of art, built to surpass expectations. AI, by contrast, is a summary of past material, often resembling a Wikipedia outline. Such drafts lack the depth and creativity necessary for a fully developed script that would appeal to buyers.”_________________________Connect with us:Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Jean Zhou  --Chief Change Officer--Change Ambitiously.

Xi Jinping har stöpt om Kina och vill se en ny världsordning. Hör om Xis väg till makten och hur Donald Trump kan ge Kina mer spelrum och inflytande. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Under det senaste decenniet har Xi Jinping tagit Kina tillbaka till ett utpräglat kontroll- och övervakningssamhälle. Han har cementerat sin maktposition och gjort sig av med fiender. Men varifrån kommer Xi Jinping och varför blev just han det kinesiska kommunistpartiets generalsekreterare och därmed Kinas högsta ledare? Konflikt berättar om Xis väg till makten, hur han förändrat det kinesiska samhället och hur han vill förändra världen. När USA under Trump nu drar sig undan internationella samarbeten kan det ge utrymme för Kina att kliva fram, och redan idag syns hur Kina med framgång kan samla ett stort politiskt stöd i omvärlden. I avsnittet hör du Sveriges Radios nuvarande och tidigare Kinakorrespondenter göra nedslag som beskriver Xi's Kina. Följ med Moa Kärnstrand till turistbutikerna i Peking där det är svårt att köpa Xi-souvenirer. Följ med till Toronto i Kanada där Hanna Sahlberg möter en barnfamilj som lämnat Kina på grund av den ökade repressionen under Xi och hör Björn Djurberg, en av få som på senare år kommit nära Xi.Reportrar: Moa Kärnstrand, korrespondent i Peking. Hanna Sahlberg, Ekots Kinareporter och tidigare korrespondent i Peking och Björn Djurberg, tidigare Kinakorrespondent. Medverkande: Malin Oud, direktör för Kinaprogrammet vid Raoul Wallenberg institutet (RWI). Oscar Almén, forskare och Kinaexpert vid Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut (FOI). Adrian Geiges, journalist och författare och tidigare Kinakorrespondent för tyska Stern.

I de mänskliga imperiernas historia intar Kina en särställning. I mer än två millennier har det stora östasiatiska landets politik kännetecknats av en kejserlig makttradition, präglad av starkt centralstyre, konfuciansk byråkrati och kontinuerlig strävan efter riksenhet och sammanhållning mot omvärlden. Medan Europa, Indien, Afrika, Mellanöstern och Sydöstasien har varit till synes ohjälpligt splittrade har Kinas dynastier följt på varandra i tre- eller fyrahundraåriga sjok av nationell dominans och enhet.Kina har haft många ryktbara kunga- och kejsardynastier, från den halvhistoriska Xia via de mäktiga Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang och Song, men en av de mest legendomsusade och ryktbara i vår del av världen är utan tvekan Ming, som härskade från mitten av 1300-talet till mitten av 1600-talet. Det var under Mingkejsarna som det berömda blåvita porslinet tillverkades och Stora muren fick sitt nuvarande utseende, och det var nu de imponerande gravkomplexen (”Minggravarna”) anlades inte långt därifrån. Det var också vid denna tid som européerna på allvar lärde känna den kinesiska kulturen genom att jesuiter som Matteo Ricci tog sig in i landet och vann så stor respekt att de kom att ingå i huvudstadens lärda överskikt.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om de kinesiska dynastiernas historia, framför allt om Mingdynastin på 1400- och 1500-talen.Bild: Kejsar Hongwu, som gjorde klassresan från fattig bonde till kejsare och grundare av Mingdynastin.

China's emphasis on developing new quality productive forces based on local conditions and accelerating the establishment of a modern industrial system will provide strong momentum for long-term economic growth while enhancing the resilience and competitiveness of its industrial and supply chains, national legislators, political advisers and experts said.全国立法委员、政治顾问和专家表示，中国强调因地制宜发展新质生产力，加快建立现代产业体系，为长期经济增长提供强劲动力，同时增强产业链和供应链弹力和竞争力。They called for efforts to boost enterprises' independent innovation capabilities, achieve breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields and drive industrial upgrades by integrating cutting-edge digital technologies with the real economy.他们呼吁努力提升企业的自主创新能力，实现关键领域核心技术的突破，并通过前沿数字技术与实体经济的融合带动产业升级。Their comments followed the release of this year' s Government Work Report, which states that China will pursue integrated advancements in technological and industrial innovation, push forward new industrialization, and expand and strengthen advanced manufacturing to foster new growth drivers and upgrade traditional ones.今年的《政府工作报告》指出，中国将统筹推进科技创新和产业创新，推进新型工业化，做大做强先进制造业，培育新的增长动力，改造提升传统产业。“The cultivation of new quality productive forces is a key focus in promoting high-quality economic growth and a strategic choice in the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation,” said Zhou Yunjie, a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress and chairman and CEO of Chinese home appliance manufacturer Haier Group.第十四届全国人大代表、中国家电制造商海尔集团董事局主席兼首席执行官周云杰表示：“培育新质生产力是推动经济高质量增长的重点，也是新一轮科技革命和产业变革的战略选择。”Zhou said the industrial internet, as a new type of infrastructure, has played a pivotal role in driving the development of new quality productive forces, advancing new industrialization and accelerating the digital transformation and upgrading of enterprises.他表示，工业互联网作为一种新型基础设施，在推动新质生产力发展、推进新型工业化、加快企业数字化转型升级等方面发挥着举足轻重的作用。As China strives to become a manufacturing powerhouse, more efforts are needed to promote the innovative application of the industrial internet and fully unlock the value of massive data resources, Zhou said.中国正努力成为制造强国，需要加大力度推动工业互联网的创新应用，充分释放海量数据资源的价值。He added that Haier will continue to pursue technological innovation and integrate artificial intelligence technology with the manufacturing sector.他还表示，海尔将继续追求技术创新，将人工智能技术与制造业相结合。Cao Peng, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of e-commerce giant JD's technology committee, said, “Scientific and technological innovation is the core element for nurturing new quality productive forces, while digital technologies represented by AI have become an important engine driving their development.”第十四届全国政协委员、电商巨头京东集团技术委员会主席曹鹏说：“科技创新是培育新质生产力的核心要素，而以人工智能为代表的数字技术已成为推动其发展的重要引擎。”He called for accelerating the construction of computing power infrastructure to expand the application of large language models across more fields and lower computing costs for enterprises, particularly small and medium-sized ones.他呼吁加快计算能力基础设施建设，将大语言模型的应用扩展到更多领域，降低企业尤其是中小企业的计算成本。Luo Zhongwei, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Industrial Economics, said, “Fostering new growth drivers and upgrading traditional industries by leveraging cutting-edge digital technologies such as AI, 5G and big data have been high on China's development agenda.”中国社会科学院工业经济研究所研究员罗仲伟说：“借助人工智能、5G、大数据等前沿数字技术，培育新的增长动力，改造提升传统产业，一直是中国发展的重要议程。”Luo said China has sent a clear signal that it will further implement an innovation-driven development strategy to shift from old growth drivers to new ones. He emphasized the importance of developing new quality productive forces based on local conditions and avoiding blind investments in specific fields.他提到，中国已发出明确信号，将进一步实施创新驱动发展战略，从旧的增长动力转向新的增长动力。他强调，必须因地制宜发展新质生产力，避免在特定领域盲目投资。China's move to accelerate the building of a modern industrial system will support the intelligent, high-end and green transformation of traditional industries, consolidate economic recovery and bolster the country's ability to navigate external challenges and uncertainties, Luo said.他还表示，中国加快构建现代产业体系，将支持传统产业向智能化、高端化、绿色化转型，巩固经济复苏态势，增强中国应对外部挑战和不确定性的能力。The Government Work Report also said China will promote the integrated and clustered development of strategic emerging industries, establish a mechanism to increase funding for industries of the future and foster sectors such as biomanufacturing, quantum technology, embodied AI and 6G technology.《政府工作报告》还指出，中国将推动战略性新兴产业融合集聚发展，建立未来产业资金投入增长机制，培育生物制造、量子技术、人工智能、6G技术等领域。Dong Mingzhu, a deputy to the 14th NPC and chairwoman of Gree Electric Appliances, said manufacturing enterprises must strengthen their independent innovation capacities in cutting-edge technologies and continuously improve the quality of products and services to foster new quality productive forces.第十四届全国人大代表、格力电器董事长董明珠表示，制造业企业必须加强前沿技术的自主创新能力，不断提高产品和服务质量，培育新质生产力。Li Dongsheng, a deputy to the 14th NPC and founder and chairman of consumer electronics company TCL Technology Group, said, “Chinese enterprises should play a bigger role in boosting technological innovation.”第十四届全国人大代表、消费电子公司TCL科技集团创始人兼董事长李东生说：“中国企业应在推动技术创新方面发挥更大作用。”He said TCL will strengthen its innovative capabilities in original technologies and increase investment in AI, augmented reality, virtual reality and next-generation display technologies.他表示，TCL将加强原创技术的创新能力，加大对人工智能、增强现实、虚拟现实和下一代显示技术的投入。Advancing new quality productive forces requires further stimulating technological innovation, continuously investing in scientific research and talent development and supporting the intelligent transformation of industries, Li said.他提到，推进新质生产力建设，需要进一步激发科技创新活力，持续加大科研投入和人才培养力度，支持产业智能化转型。Momentumn.

On this episode of Controllers Classified, host Erik Zhou sits down with Brad Silicani, COO of Anrok, to talk about his journey from Big Four accounting to leading operations at a fast-growing tech company.The discussion begins by covering Brad's transition from audit to client side, and highlights the myriad of roles he held at Dropbox. In his time there he was Controller, tasked with landing a sound revenue recognition method, Head of Tax, focused on developing the right international tax structure prior to IPO, and Treasurer, responsible for managing $2B in cash in a changing interest rate environment. In covering all this, Brad shares how these experiences set him up for success in his current role as COO at Anrok, highlighting why a background in accounting and finance makes him the operations leader he is today.And of course, no modern finance conversation would be complete without tackling the AI revolution. Erik and Brad dig into how automation and AI are reshaping accounting, tax, and treasury functions—not just making processes smoother but fundamentally redefining the role of finance leaders. Whether you're a CFO- OR COO-in-the-making, or just someone who loves hearing behind-the-scenes war stories from hyper-growth companies, this episode delivers sharp insights and great conversation.

In this episode of Controllers Classified, Erik Zhou sits down with Karen Wu, the Chief Accounting Officer at Clari, to discuss the role of accounting in a company's exit strategy. The conversation starts with an overview of Karen's time in Transaction Services at PWC, where she helped a myriad of companies prepare for IPO - including Alibaba, the largest IPO in US history. Drawing on those experiences, Karen covers the reasons why a company may look for an exit, the types of exit strategies, and the role of the accounting team in those strategies.Specifically, Karen speaks to some ‘musts' that accounting teams have to get right no matter the exit strategy - things like closing the books on time, ensuring precision and reliability in financial statements, and being able to comply with public company requirements. She speaks to the IPO readiness timeline, and how companies should approach it not just through the lens of accounting and finance, but across all functions.The conversation then pivots to Karen's time at Clari. She shares her priorities as well as her POV on global accounting processes given the company's international operations. Her number one piece of advice? Don't be hesitant to outsource pieces of work to consultants who may have a better handle on local tax policies.

What do sociology, accounting, venture capital, and filmmaking have in common? Meet Jean Zhou, a filmmaker from China whose career plot twist could rival any drama. Jean's journey has taken her from crunching numbers to crafting stories that captivate audiences. Now an accomplished filmmaker and CEO of Wind Entertainment, she's here to share how following a passion for storytelling led to a career filled with unexpected twists and blockbuster moments. Key Highlights of Our Interview: Creating Stories: Founding Wind Entertainment “In 2019, I founded Wind Entertainment. Initially, we incubated writers and even won several Best Novel Awards. By 2020, we ventured into drama series, writing our first script, The Starry Love. It aired on four TV stations in China and was distributed to over 30 countries.” Sociology: A Bridge Between Business and Humanity “Sociology opened my worldview and helped me understand people better. Ultimately, the business world is about relationships—between people and people. Sociology gave me insights into the social mind and thoughts, which help decode the essence of business.” The Seeds of a Producer's Journey “As a child, I had to go to bed at 9 p.m., even though TV programming continued until 10. That early frustration planted the idea in my mind—one day, I'd take control of storytelling. Fast forward to 2018, when I watched the TV series Ashes of Love and realized it was the most incredible thing to create a project like that. I decided it was something I had to try, at least once in my life.” The Limitations of AI in Screenwriting “While AI brings efficiency, its impact on screenwriting remains minimal. Scripts are tailored works of art, built to surpass expectations. AI, by contrast, is a summary of past material, often resembling a Wikipedia outline. Such drafts lack the depth and creativity necessary for a fully developed script that would appeal to buyers.” _________________________ Connect with us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Jean Zhou Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

We're talking about some of the topics in Amy Wilson's new book HAPPY TO HELP. Get it in our Bookshop bookstore, or wherever you buy books! Ask most people if women are "just better" at multitasking, and they'll probably agree. Didn't some study say that at some point? Aren't women from Venus and men from Mars? Aren't our brains completely different? Here's what the research really says about multitasking. Turns out we may have been bamboozled into doing more work all this time WITHOUT being any better at it. Amy and Margaret discuss: Why multitasking feels good sometimes Why women may be better at it only because they have more practice How attempting to multitask actually makes us less productive Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode: D.

In this episode of Controllers Classified, host Erik Zhou sits down with Jeff Arensman, Controller at Bloomerang, to cover two important topics: building a finance function from scratch and the role of finance in acquisitions.For Jeff, the two are inextricably linked at Bloomerang. As the first finance hire at the company, his first task was supporting an acquisition that needed to close in just three weeks. He then quickly turned to building a strong foundation for the accounting and finance practice at the company through new processes, tools, and technology. Jeff covers how he spent his time in the first few years at Bloomerang, including how he approached team building, and then turns to his current priorities now four years in at the company (a big NetSuite implementation!).After sharing how he approached building a function, Jeff does a deep dive into considerations during acquisitions both on the buy and sell side. He details his extensive experience in acquisitions and highlights some of his best practices and learnings - including how important it is to add nuance and context to the models that bankers develop during the due diligence process.The episode closes with Jeff sharing the deep detective work he had to do to get to the bottom of one of his weirdest company expense moments early in his career.

Rebecca Zhou is the co-founder and CEO of the bodycare brand Soft Services. Zhou has been at the forefront of the DTC consumer goods industry for over a decade. She began her career as a strategist at Gin Lane Media, an early investor in trendsetting brands like Harry's, Quip, Sweetgreen, and Reformation. She then moved over to Glossier as the third-ever employee and head of digital product. After that, she consulted for five years, bringing her expertise and keen design eye to places such as Khaite, Peach & Lily, and DVF. In 2017, she co-founded a luxury housecoat business with her husband called OffHours. That project sparked her desire to return to building a company from the ground up, so in 2019, she co-founded Soft Services, an innovative bodycare brand that creates sumptuous products that provide effective solutions for skin issues like keratosis pilaris and body acne. Earlier this year, Soft Services launched at Sephora online and in 300 stores across the country.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
