 At the ongoing China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, new-type energy storage technology, interactive waste-sorting bins, unmanned weed-cutting boats, and a range of other green products and services have attracted wide attention. 
  Beistar CZ, a Czech company making its debut at CIFTIS, showcased an energy storage technology that converts surplus grid electricity into thermal energy, storing it inside a unit filled with hot air and high heat-resistant material, at a cost about one-fiftieth that of battery storage. 
  George Jermakov, technology director at Beistar CZ, said he hopes the technology would be "used and useful" in China. "There are no greater opportunities anywhere in the world than in China," he added, noting that he was impressed by the country's open business environment, with CIFTIS serving as a good example. 
  Jermakov also highlighted China's strong push for sustainability. "There is a great wave in China to go green," he said. "Many steps have been taken by the government and the people, and they are moving faster and faster toward their goals." 
  The 2025 CIFTIS, held in Beijing from Sept. 10 to 14 with the theme "Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services," has drawn nearly 2,000 on-site exhibitors. Participants include representatives from more than 20 of the world's top 30 countries and regions in services trade. 
  TestraBin, developed by Australian company Sencity, is an interactive garbage-sorting bin. Equipped with three sensor-fitted slots for different types of waste, the bin is ringed with electronic screens that reward correct sorting with playful animations or digital content such as a basketball dropping through a hoop. 
  "In the past, a lot of money was spent on public campaigns to encourage people to sort their waste. This product makes the process interactive and fun," said Wanchen Zhao, vice president of Sencity. "Every time we showcase it in China, people show great interest. Many see it as a glimpse of the next era, where everyday items are infused with more technology and interactivity." 
  Chinese companies are also unveiling a wide range of homegrown green innovations at this year's fair, underscoring the country's dual role as a major market and an important source of technological solutions for the global green transition. 
  An unmanned street-sweeping vehicle developed by Beijing Environment Sanitation Group has attracted wide attention at the fair. Equipped with lidar, 360-degree cameras and ultrasonic radar, the vehicle can clean up to 6,000 square meters per hour, equivalent to the workload of six to eight workers. 
  The group, which provides integrated services ranging from public-space cleaning to waste collection, transportation and treatment, has offered consulting and technical support to countries including Mongolia, Pakistan, Laos, Bangladesh and Chad. 
  An unmanned weed-cutting vessel, equipped with sharp blades to clear aquatic plants, was also on display at the fair. A smart system embedded in the vessel simulates plant growth to identify the best time for removal, providing a modern solution for aquatic vegetation management. 
  "For a city of more than 20 million people like Beijing, many of these urban management solutions can be applied to cities elsewhere in the world," said Chen Nan, a technician with the Beijing Water Science and Technology Institute, which developed the vessel. 
  Huatong Technology, a one-stop provider of zero-carbon industrial park solutions, also attracted attention at the fair. The Chinese company develops such parks by integrating renewable energy sources like wind, solar and biomass to boost green power use and clean transport, while retrofitting buildings, upgrading equipment and operating a central platform to monitor energy use and cut emissions. 
  With about 20 years of experience in energy saving and carbon reduction, Huatong Technology has completed over 10,000 projects in China across high-tech zones, industrial and logistics parks, as well as cultural and agricultural parks. 
  China's services trade topped 1 trillion U.S. dollars for the first time in 2024. In the first seven months of 2025, it expanded 8.2 percent year on year to nearly 4.58 trillion yuan (about 644.9 billion U.S. dollars), official data showed. 
  Meanwhile, the trade structure has continued to improve, shifting away from reliance on traditional sectors such as logistics toward more value-added, knowledge-intensive and innovation-driven fields. 
  "China is at the forefront of major green technologies. It is the low-cost producer of wind, solar, long-distance power transmission and zero carbon power supplies," said Jeffrey Sachs, chairman of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, in a speech at the fair. 
  Sachs added that the world is facing the urgent challenge of environmental transformation and China can use its global capacity to accelerate the transformation.

Services trade surges as China embraces smart technologies, openness

BEIJING, CHINA -  Media OutReach Newswire - 15 September 2025 - In Shougang Park, a former ironworks site in western Beijing, new technologies from AI to cloud computing and green innovation are on display amid the rusty blast furnaces and steel relics. 
  The 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), featuring digital innovation and intelligent technologies, is underway in the park, gathering nearly 2,000 enterprises, including Global Fortune 500 companies and leading industrial enterprises in search of new cooperation opportunities in China.

 Global exhibitors and business leaders are optimistic about the growth and future of China's international services trade, hailing the country's consistent policies to open up its services sector as a catalyst for global trade and shared growth. 
  ROBUST GROWTH 
  For Philips, the Dutch medical technology leader with a four-decade presence in China, the fair reflects robust momentum in the country's healthcare sector. Returning to CIFTIS for the fifth consecutive year, Philips unveiled its latest magnetic resonance system, a breakthrough that shortens scan times and boosts efficiency. 
  "The growing awareness of healthcare and the leap in medical technologies have fueled the sector's growth in China," said Yang Donglan, vice president of Philips Greater China. "Every year at CIFTIS, we feel China's business environment becoming more open and inclusive, giving us the confidence to deepen our roots here." 
  Tourism company TUI China shares that optimism. The Germany-headquartered firm sees inbound travel gaining fresh momentum. 
  Technology has been a boost to tourism, said TUI China CEO Guido Brettschneider, noting that modern technologies, ranging from translation tools that enable tour guides to communicate in multiple languages to mobile payment options like Alipay and WeChat Pay for overseas visitors, have reduced barriers and enhanced traveler satisfaction. 
  The numbers bear this out. From January to July in 2025, China's total services trade reached 4.58 trillion yuan (642.7 billion U.S. dollars), up 8.2 percent year on year. Tourism, a pillar of this growth, totaled 1.26 trillion yuan (177 billion dollars), surging 10.4 percent, according to a report from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce in early September. 
  The growth is attracting more global partners. Australia, this year's guest country of honor at CIFTIS, sent its largest-ever delegation of nearly 60 organizations and companies. 
  On the opening day, it signed 15 agreements with Chinese partners in sectors including education, healthcare, finance and culture. 
  "China remains a market of tremendous potential in the service sector," said Dominic Trindade, commercial minister at the Australian Embassy in Beijing. "Australia is committed to the Chinese market and our service providers are ready to develop new partnerships here." 
  TECH POWER 
  At the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) booth, a humanoid robot greeted visitors, offering a glimpse into the future of banking. 
  Already deployed in several branches, the AI assistant can answer questions and explain bank services -- an emblem of this year's CIFTIS theme: "Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services." 
  Digital innovation is becoming the backbone of China's service economy. In the first seven months of 2025, knowledge-intensive services -- including AI, digital finance, and professional consulting -- rose 6.8 percent to 1.78 trillion yuan (250 billion dollars), said the commerce ministry report. 
  For Zaha Hadid Architects, a British architecture and design firm, the tech boom is transforming the construction services industry. 
  Digital tools are adopted throughout the construction process, from design to fabrication, enabling factories to precisely execute the design, which enhances accuracy and quality control, said Satoshi Ohashi, director of Zaha Hadid Architects. 
  China has built an incredible manufacturing base, and now it has grown and developed into an innovation powerhouse, said Ohashi. "And I think that's the power and potential of the Chinese economy." 
  The view is echoed by Henning Kristoffersen, commercial counselor of the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Beijing, who noted that China's technological advancements are helping international firms raise efficiency and sharpen competitiveness. 
  By shifting from traditional industries to high-value-added sectors, China is enhancing its capacity to deliver high-quality and innovative services to its international partners, said Dale Pinto, president and chair of the board of CPA Australia. "This transition is opening new avenues for global cooperation of mutual benefit." 
  POLICY OPENNESS 
  The rapid expansion of China's services trade comes amid its consistent commitment to opening up and win-win cooperation. 
  Amid a notable rise in unilateralism and protectionism, China has steadily advanced institutional opening up in trade in services, which has provided strong momentum for its own development and created greater room for global economic growth, said Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang during a keynote speech at the event. 
  He also reiterated China's commitment to working with all countries and parties to strengthen opening up and cooperation in services trade. 
  This commitment is tangible for foreign companies like Philips. 
  A more open and inclusive business environment in China offers more pragmatic opportunities for the company's development, encouraging it to further strengthen its operations here, said Yang Donglan, vice president of Philips Greater China. 
  Global scholars have hailed China's opening up as a strong driver for an open world economy and inclusive growth. 
  China's efforts to advance high-standard opening up bring opportunities for shared development and prosperity to countries of the Global South, while improving the global governance system, said Mutinda Mutisya, a senior lecturer at the Department of Diplomacy and International Studies of the University of Nairobi. 
  Steps taken by Chinese policymakers have created a platform for equal participation by its partners, including emerging economies, said Tolonbek Abdyrov, a professor of economics and vice rector of the International Higher School of Medicine in Kyrgyzstan, noting that China's advocacy for equal rights to development of all countries sends a clear and positive message. 
  CIFTIS and China's commitment to openness provide a much-needed boost to global trade, strained by tariff hikes, said Herman Tiu Laurel, president of the Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute, a Manila-based think tank. "CIFTIS will help sustain and improve the momentum of global trade and growth."

China advances services trade, unlocking opportunities for global collaboration

BEIJING, CHINA -  Media OutReach Newswire - 15 September 2025 - Amid global trade headwinds, China is sending fresh signals that it will further advance trade in services, providing strong momentum for its own development and creating more room for global economic growth. 
  This message resonated strongly at the ongoing 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, which gathered exhibitors from over 80 countries, regions and international organizations. 
  As China steadily opens its service sector and consumption shifts toward services, the fair provides a crucial meeting point for global companies to access new opportunities, find solutions and share in the benefits of China's high-quality development.

 SURGING DEMAND 
  Now in its 12th edition, the fair serves as a platform for China to showcase the development of its service industry and highlight its market potential. The core exhibition area alone spans over 100,000 square meters -- equivalent to approximately 14 standard football fields -- covering a wide array of service sectors such as culture and tourism, education, transport, health, finance, environment, sports and information technology. 
  This year, CIFTIS offers a unique opportunity for visitors: a one-stop tour of Beijing's most iconic cultural sites, all within the walls of the culture and tourism services hall. 
  Among many exhibitors, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, and some other renowned destinations in Beijing have set up a collective booth, bringing their popular cultural and creative products to the event. This setup offers international visitors an efficient way to experience the highlights of Beijing's cultural creativity without having to travel all over the city. 
  "The fair offers a key platform for us to communicate and collaborate with potential partners across various industries," said Wang Fang at the Beijing Zoo booth, who had just discussed potential cooperation on eco-friendly souvenirs with a visiting company. 
  "Our goal is to provide both domestic and international tourists with higher-quality services and added value," she added. 
  Instead of hunting for traditional goods, visitors at the CIFTIS are browsing for experiences. As China enters a stage where the service sector takes up more than half of the economy, the demand for high-quality services is on the rise, creating space for domestic industries to lift standards and for international companies to tap into this opportunity. 
  China's consumption pattern has evolved into a stage that combines goods consumption with services consumption, said Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Sheng Qiuping, noting that from January to July this year, service retail sales grew by 5.2 percent year on year, with services accounting for a rising share of total consumption. 
  Sheng pointed out that the challenge lies in the insufficient supply of high-quality services to meet the rising demand. In this context, CIFTIS plays an important role in expanding imports of quality services. 
  The fair, gathering nearly 2,000 exhibitors, including close to 500 Fortune Global 500 companies and industry-leading enterprises like Walmart, AstraZeneca and KPMG, offers a glimpse into some of the world's most innovative service offerings. 
  Chinese-made humanoid robots drew significant attention by demonstrating capabilities such as delivering food, preparing coffee, playing football, and even engaging in boxing matches. 
  Honson To, chairman of KPMG China and Asia Pacific, noted that China's development of new quality productive forces, including cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence, will drive progress in knowledge-intensive services trade. 
  "As a window of China's high-standard opening-up, CIFTIS will continue to optimize the services trade structure and inject robust resilience and vitality into the Chinese economy," he added. 
  DEEPENING OPENING-UP 
  Paul Bateman, chairman of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, has visited China for more than 150 times over the past 30 years. "With each visit, I'm more impressed by the vitality and growth of China's market," he said while addressing the Global Trade in Services Summit of the CIFTIS.

  Noting that the company's footprint in China has expanded in recent years thanks to China's decision to open up its service sector, particularly the removal of foreign equity caps in certain financial services, Bateman said the growth of trade in services is creating significant opportunities for the industry. 
  China has continued to advance the opening-up of its service sector. Last year, the country established a nationwide negative list management system for cross-border trade in services. In certain pilot free trade zones, overseas residents can now open securities or futures accounts to engage in businesses such as securities investment consulting or futures trading advisory services. 
  These policies have contributed to a notable rise in trade in services. In the first half of this year, China's total services trade reached a record 3.9 trillion yuan (about 549 billion U.S. dollars), marking an 8 percent year-on-year increase. 
  During the fair, officials pledged efforts to further open up the sector. China will promote pilot opening-up programs in the fields of telecommunications and medicine, while steadily advancing opening-up in the education and culture sectors, Sheng said. 
  The country will also deepen alignment with high-standard international economic and trade rules, and foster a transparent, stable, and predictable institutional environment, he added. 
  "China is willing to work with all countries and parties to strengthen opening up and cooperation in services trade, and promote growth in global trade and world economy," said Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang at the fair. 
  SHARED OPPORTUNITY 
  For international participant at CIFTIS like Australian vocational education provider Chisholm Institute of TAFE, China's growing demand for high-quality services represents a tangible opportunity.

 "We're looking to find partnerships that allow us to deliver Australian vocational qualifications in the Chinese market," said Christopher Hogg, global business development manager of the institute, highlighting education as a key area of services trade collaboration between the two countries. 
  Over the years, CIFTIS has become a key platform that promotes global collaboration, encourages the exchange of advanced services, and creates shared opportunities for global businesses. 
  Norway's national pavilion, featuring nine companies across sectors like health, nutrition and aquaculture, exemplifies how China's changing consumption pattern is creating opportunities for foreign enterprises. 
  Henning Kristoffersen, commercial counselor of the Norwegian Embassy in China, noted the alignment between Norwegian offerings and rising Chinese health consciousness. "The Chinese consumers are very health-conscious. And for the products that we have in Norway, this is great," he said, seeing "great opportunities" for Norwegian businesses to find partners and introduce products to Chinese consumers. 
  Andre Haspels, ambassador of the Netherlands to China, pointed to sports services as a vibrant area for cooperation, citing examples like collaborations in swimming safety and cycling infrastructure. "Sports, of course, is very important for health, mental and physical health," he said, emphasizing the importance of cooperation in the health sector. 
  As Sheng noted, by deepening integration with global markets, strengthening industrial collaboration and expanding open cooperation in trade in services, "China will inject stronger momentum into global economic prosperity."

Services trade emerges as key engine for China's high-quality development

BEIJING, CHINA -  Media OutReach Newswire - 15 September 2025 - The services trade is becoming an increasingly crucial engine for China's economic growth and has substantial potential, driven by technological advancements such as artificial intelligence (AI), according to global representatives at the ongoing 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS). 
             
       This photo taken on Sept. 10, 2025 shows an Iranian booth of the thematic exhibitions during the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) at Shougang Park in Beijing, capital of China.      
     
 The fair, which opened on Wednesday and will close on Sunday in Beijing, features high-level forums where government officials, industry leaders and international experts are exchanging insights on the development of the services trade. 
  Services represent a great opportunity for growth in China as the scale of the domestic industry is relatively small compared to similar countries, Marshall Mills, senior resident representative in China of the International Monetary Fund, said at Thursday's Forum on Development of Trade in Services. 
  He noted that total factor productivity growth in China's services sector has been accelerating, particularly in fields like financial services and commerce, playing a vital role in the country's continued economic development. 
  Tu Xinquan, dean of the China Institute for WTO Studies at the University of International Business and Economics, observed that while China's services sector now accounts for over 50 percent of GDP, it remains below the 70 to 80 percent levels typical of developed economies. "As the services sector expands, trade in services becomes a natural progression," he said. 
  "Trade serves as a means to promote services sector growth, while industry expansion drives trade demand. Thus, industrial development and trade development mutually reinforce each other," Tu said, adding that expanded trade in services can boost domestic supply and stimulate consumption, which is a key growth driver for China. 
  Recent years have witnessed rapid growth in China's services trade, fueled by the country's sustained opening-up policies. A Ministry of Commerce report released on Thursday has revealed that China's total services trade volume surpassed 1 trillion U.S. dollars for the first time in 2024, ranking second globally. 
  "China's trade in services has entered a stage of high-quality development," Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Sheng Qiuping said, noting that the country's services trade has maintained an average annual growth rate of 6.7 percent since 2012, 1.7 times that of its goods trade. 
  Digital transformation is accelerating this trend. Long Guoqiang, deputy head of the Development Research Center of the State Council, said that digitalization has transformed many services that were previously difficult to trade across borders into tradable activities, accelerating the development of the services trade across both traditional and emerging sectors. 
  In particular, the rapid development of AI is poised to open a new chapter for the services trade, and that is an area where China maintains competitive advantages, he said. 
  At CIFTIS, exhibitors are showcasing AI-powered solutions across multiple sectors, demonstrating technology's transformative impact on education, tourism, health care and sports. Chinese-made humanoid robots at the event have exhibited capabilities like delivering food, preparing coffee, playing football and boxing matches. 
  China's rapidly developing AI sector is empowering small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in global competition, Sheng said, noting that the proportion of knowledge-intensive services exports in China's overall export of services has increased rapidly in recent years. 
  Looking ahead, China will continue to expand its high-level opening-up, which will include the promotion of pilot programs in the fields of telecommunication and medicine, while steadily advancing opening-up in the education and culture sectors, according to Sheng. 
  "We will deepen our integration into the world market, enhance industrial synergy with other countries, and inject greater momentum into global economic prosperity through opening-up and cooperation in the services trade," he said.

AI innovation injects new momentum into China's services trade

BEIJING, CHINA -  Media OutReach Newswire - 15 September 2025 - Amid the buzz of the ongoing 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), a robot dog is stealing the show. However, this remarkable machine is not just a playful performer; it carries a serious mission. 
             
       A humanoid robot plays piano at the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, capital of China, Sept. 11, 2025.     
     
 Equipped with a yellow methane detection probe, it sniffs out potential gas leaks, poised to become a "bodyguard" enhancing community safety. 
  Zhang Shenyan, a senior R&D engineer at Beijing Gas Group Co., Ltd., explained that this robotic inspector can be pre-programmed with specific routes and key inspection areas, allowing it to conduct regular patrols and safety checks within residential compounds. 
  The robot dog is just one example of how the new technological revolution, led by artificial intelligence (AI), is permeating every facet of daily life -- a trend that has been constant throughout this year's CIFTIS. Across various themed exhibition halls, AI applications are transforming multiple services trade sectors. 
  In the health services exhibition hall, Guang'anmen Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences displayed an AI diagnostic robot. People can converse with the "AI doctor" in a consultation room. 
  Xue Chong, founder of the AI doctor company Trizen, noted that the AI system uses large-model technology and has been trained on a vast array of real case data. It is now capable of conducting traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis such as pulse reading, facial and tongue analysis. 
  "AI large-model technology has reached a stage focusing on deep integration with specific sectors, and healthcare is an ideal field for AI application," said Xue. 
  Xue said they are also developing an AI terminal for home use, paving the way for home-based AI medical services. 
  The environmental services section also featured its own AI innovation. The company He Mu Ecology presented an eco-dredging robot, capable of performing remote-controlled dredging in urban rivers and underwater environments, as well as cleaning hazardous material from enclosed chemical tanks. 
  QuantaEye Technologies Co., Ltd. exhibited its "water environment scout," a floating monitoring device that collects over 10 real-time water quality parameters. Integrated with Internet of Things and big data analysis, it enables dynamic water monitoring and early pollution alerts. The company said that the system is already deployed in several rivers and lakes across Beijing. 
  Throughout the CIFTIS exhibition halls, a dazzling array of AI applications has drawn large crowds of visitors, all eager to stop and experience the innovations firsthand. Experts across various fields are actively seeking ways to integrate the cutting-edge technology into their respective fields, turning innovative concepts into tangible productivity gains. 
  In the culture and tourism services zone, visitors lined up to try mixed reality (MR) experiences through wearable devices, immersing themselves in interactive virtual environments or embarking on digital tours of famous landmarks and heritage sites. 
  Meanwhile, over in the education services zone, exhibitors presented AI-powered support systems tailored for child development. These tools combine health monitoring, personalized tutoring, and physical activity tracking to create a complete growth solution for kids. 
  Ouyang Rihui, deputy director of the China Center for Internet Economy Research at the Central University of Finance and Economics, noted that in recent years, China's application and promotion of digital intelligent technologies have led to a surge of new AI products, application scenarios, and service formats. 
  "These have greatly stimulated and expanded new potential in service consumption," he added. 
  Liang Zheng, vice dean of the Institute for AI International Governance at Tsinghua University, said that AI innovation not only reduces the cost and barriers to trade in services through automation and digitalization, but also creates entirely new service formats and business models through intelligence and personalization. 
  "It is reshaping the present and future of global trade in services," Liang said. 
  The theme of this year's CIFTIS is "Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services." With participation from 85 countries and international organizations, along with nearly 2,000 companies exhibiting on-site, the event will run for five days until Sept. 14. 
  Since its inception in 2012, CIFTIS has brought together enterprises from around the world to share opportunities stemming from China's opening up and development of trade in services.

China's innovative service sector unlocks fresh int'l cooperation potential, says Australian accounting expert

BEIJING, CHINA -  Media OutReach Newswire - 15 September 2025 - The transition of China's service sector toward innovation and cutting-edge technologies is opening new avenues for global cooperation, said the head of one of the world's largest accounting bodies. 
  China has been committed to fostering innovation and developing new-quality productive forces, leading to robust domestic growth and delivery of high-quality services to its international partners, said Dale Pinto, president and chair of the board of CPA Australia, in a recent written interview with Xinhua ahead of the ongoing China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS). 
             
       Caption: People visit a booth of Pop Mart during the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, capital of China, Sept. 10, 2025.      
     
 The 2025 CIFTIS, held at Shougang Park in Beijing from Wednesday to Sunday, brings together Global Fortune 500 companies or industry-leading enterprises to showcase their accomplishments, with nearly 2,000 enterprises gearing up to participate in offline exhibitions. 
  Australia, the guest country of honor at the 2025 CIFTIS, has assembled its largest-ever delegation for the fair this year. 
  Noting that CPA Australia is attending the event for the second consecutive year, he said that Australia's selection as the guest country of honor this year highlights the growing Australia-China cooperation in trade in services. 
  "This sends a clear and positive message about both countries' commitment to deepening their partnership," he said. 
  The CPA Australia chair expects the CIFTIS to further strengthen China-Australia trade ties in services, discover opportunities for cooperation between companies and institutions, and encourage the exchange of expertise among professionals. 
  Trade in services is a major driver of Australia's economy, and China, as one of Australia's largest trading partners, presents significant market potential in the service sector, including for his organization, said Pinto. 
  "As China continues to open its market and more Chinese companies look to overseas opportunities, the demand for professional services is expected to rise considerably in the years ahead," he said, expressing his anticipation to cooperate with more companies, bodies and institutions to support their overseas expansion.

 He also mentioned China's growing influence in global markets, saying that the country is playing an increasingly critical role in driving innovation and promoting sustainable trade in services worldwide. 
  In the sector, particularly noticeable is the rapid expansion of knowledge-intensive services in China, such as software development and high-end design, he said, adding that the sector's robust performance has deepened collaboration between China and other countries, and contributes significantly to sustained economic growth. 
  "The essential drivers of these services, including capital, professional talent, data, and intelligence, are becoming more prominent within China's economic landscape," said Pinto. 
  He further hailed China's consistent efforts to open up its market, including increasing policy support, intensifying protection for data and intellectual property, raising professional standards and creating clear guidelines for sustainable development. 
  An example is China's action plan from 2022 to 2030 to support a reduction in carbon-based sources of energy. "The implementation plan outlines ten specific actions to promote science and technology for a green and low-carbon energy transition," he said. 
  Trade between China and Australia has witnessed steady growth over recent years. China has been Australia's largest trading partner, export destination and source of imports for 16 consecutive years. 
  "The opening of the Australian Country Pavilion at CIFTIS is a fitting opportunity to celebrate these achievements and to mark the beginning of deepened cooperation for shared growth," said Pinto.

 Visitors wandered through bustling aisles filled with a dazzling array of cultural and creative products, spanning from refrigerator magnets to postcards and beyond. 
  The exhibition not only showcased China's rich cultural heritage but also underscored the creative vitality of its cultural industries. Chinese companies are bridging tradition and modernity, merging national identity with global trends, and redefining cultural consumption. 
  REVIVAL OF TRADITION 
  Museum-inspired creative products have become a defining feature of cultural consumption. Recently, the "Phoenix Crown" magnet from the National Museum of China, based on historical artifacts, ignited a buying frenzy. At the CIFTIS culture and tourism services zone, local companies displayed their own creations, drawing inspiration from cultural landmarks. 
  Ren Bin, product manager from a creative cultural company called Panjiayuan, said that they design their products from traditional cultural elements. "We preserve the beauty of artifacts while incorporating modern aesthetics -- we hope to help more young people understand Chinese traditional culture," he said. 
  Alongside traditional culture, traditional crafts have also emerged as a new consumption hotspot. At the Fangshan district booth, staff demonstrated the process of grinding ingredients like agarwood, rose, and jasmine into fine powder, which was then transformed into delicate beads for bracelets and accessories. 
  "These products are popular for their elegant scents and role in traditional Chinese aromatic therapy, making them ideal wellness souvenirs," said Jiang Li, a staff member. 
  CROSSOVER TRENDS 
  Even the most contemporary toys are tapping into traditional influences. Chinese toy-maker Pop Mart showcased IP products blending traditional elements, such as Dunhuang Grottoes-inspired attire. 
  While rooted in local culture, many trendy toy companies are expanding internationally. Shen Hao, public affairs general manager at Letsvan, said the company's products now reach markets in Southeast Asia, North America, and the Middle East. 
  "We actively incorporate overseas cultural elements," he said, holding up a doll wearing traditional Thai attire, complete with an elephant-ear-shaped cap. "This creates cross-cultural connections." 
  The company is pursuing cross-sector collaborations, including recent partnerships with the China Open tennis tournament and China Fashion Week. Shen added that Letsvan will continue to innovate through cross-disciplinary integration. 
  Hu Qiang, general manager of public relations at Letsvan, noted, "Every era has its iconic toys. Where Barbie represented idealized beauty, today's dolls celebrate unique expressions and identity -- reflecting young people's desire for individuality. This demands we explore more diverse and interdisciplinary themes." 
  INTERACTIVE CONSUMPTION 
  Throughout the exhibition hall, one activity captured widespread enthusiasm: stamp collecting. What began as a simple interactive experience has now become a cultural phenomenon. 
  The stamp stations act as a subtle guide, encouraging visitors to explore every booth. Many visitors came prepared with blank booklets, turning stamp collecting into a cherished memory-keeping ritual. 
  At the China National Film Museum booth, visitor Hu Huiyuan carefully pressed stamps into a new booklet. "I already have several stamp books at home," she explained. "Because CIFTIS is so expansive, I started a dedicated one just for this event." To her, these collections are more than mementos -- they're tangible records of life's journey. 
  The trend has also taken an artistic turn: multiple layered stamps can form composite images, with each impression adding new colors or details. This transforms simple stamp collecting into a personalized visual art, boosting both engagement and creativity. 
  In fact, this craving for deeper interaction now fuels cultural consumption. Across the hall, visitors queued to try mixed-reality (MR) experiences through wearable devices, immersing themselves in interactive virtual worlds or taking digital tours of global landmarks.

  Apart from its demonstrated growth in the second quarter, Jollibee Group also grew by 19.2% in the first half compared to the same periods last year. Same-Store Sales Growth (SSSG) for the quarter was 5.5% with AC and TC growth of 2.7% and 2.8%, respectively. 
  SSSG of the international business grew by 4.1% led by strong results from North America (NA) Asian Brands posting +7.8%, Europe, Middle East, Asia (EMEA) +7.7%, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (CBTL) +4.9%, Milksha +4.7%, Highlands Coffee +4.4% and China +3.9%. SSSG of the Philippine business increased by 6.4% driven by Mang Inasal (+12.0%), Red Ribbon (+8.4%), Yoshinoya (+7.9%), Panda Express (+7.8%) and Jollibee (+7.0%). 
  Operating income rose by 19.1% to Php6.0 billion (approximately US$ 107.3 million) with margin improving by 30 bps to 7.8% in Q2 2025. Net income attributable to equity holders of the Parent Company increased by 5.6% to Php3.2 billion (approximately US$ 57.1 million), reversing the decline seen in Q1 2025. Earnings per share (basic) grew by 6.3% to Php2.788 (approximately US$ 0.050). 
  Jollibee Group Chief Financial and Risk Officer, Richard Shin gave the following statement: 
  "Our strong operating results this quarter reflect not only the positive impact of our strategic acquisition but also the underlying resilience of our business. Disciplined execution of both our cost optimization initiatives and portfolio innovation efforts helped stimulate growth and profitability. The expansion in operating margin and earnings underscores the effectiveness of our strategy.  
  I am particularly pleased with the successful expansion of our international business, which is now making a meaningful contribution to the overall performance. 
    
     Jollibee international is delivering strong growth despite softness in the broader US market.   
   
     The Coffee and Tea segment continues its upward trajectory, emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments. Expansion across key geographies is driving incremental revenue and margin enhancement.   
   
     Compose Coffee is set to surpass 3,000 stores and remains on track to deliver a 36% Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) in 2025, demonstrating the value-creating potential of this acquisition.   
   
     Smashburger has a clearly defined path toward improving financial performance, supported by operational improvements, product innovations and conversion of company-owned stores to franchised stores.   
   
     China is showing early signs of recovery, marking a potential turnaround in performance.   
  Our strategic shift toward franchising, combined with disciplined capital allocation, is enhancing asset efficiency and ROIC. Today 69% of our stores operate under a franchised model, reflecting our ongoing transition to a more capital-light structure. 
  We also continue to deploy capital expenditures selectively, with a focus on supporting the growth in the U.S., Philippines, Jollibee international and coffee and tea brands. This balanced approach ensures that our investments are aligned with both strategic priorities and return objectives.  
  We remain confident in our direction and capabilities, and we are reaffirming our full-year guidance." 
  At the end of June 2025, the Jollibee Group's store network increased by 45.5% to 10,119 compared to a year ago: Philippines (3,424) and International (6,695) - 547 in China, 357 in North America, 400 in EMEA, 896 with Highlands Coffee mainly in Vietnam, 1,261 with CBTL, 346 with Milksha, 2,809 with Compose Coffee, and 79 with Tim Ho Wan.

AI Disruption and Rising Burnout Drive Conversation on Time Ownership, Examined in Bill Korman’s The 168 Game

Annapolis, Maryland - September 12, 2025 -  (PRESS ADVANTAGE) - 
As artificial intelligence transforms industries and burnout escalates, with Gallup reporting nearly 60 percent of workers disengaged, new approaches to time use are entering the discussion. One example, outlined by retired Navy Chief Bill Korman in The 168 Game: Time Ownership vs. Time Management, considers how professionals, parents, and organizations might evaluate their 168 hours each week and align them with personal and organizational priorities.
His perspective draws on lived experience and connects to challenges visible across workplaces nationwide. In New Jersey, he observed his immigrant father work long hours while advancement remained out of reach, illustrating how effort alone does not always secure upward mobility—an issue echoed today as many face stagnant wages despite longer hours. In discussing The 168 Game, Korman commented that the question is less about managing time and more about how individuals think about it, asking whether the 168 hours available each week are aligned with values and priorities or spent in reaction to external pressures.
The 168 Game introduces what Korman terms the MVP Framework—Morals, Values, and Principles. The framework outlines a process for identifying priorities and considering how hours are allocated. Rather than describing time in terms of ‘balance,’ it focuses on creating harmony within the hours already available. Interest in such models has grown as artificial intelligence reshapes workplace demands and raises expectations for continuous output, prompting renewed discussion on how people structure their time.

Independent research provides additional context. Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2023 reported disengagement and burnout at sustained record levels, while a study by the National Endowment for Financial Education found that households using literacy-based financial and time strategies experienced greater stability, reduced stress, and improved productivity. These findings relate to themes also addressed in Korman’s The 168 Game.
Korman’s career background has shaped his perspective on time use. During his 20 years in the Navy, managing time often meant survival. Later, as a financial strategist and business leader, he applied similar principles while helping guide one of PHP Agency’s offices, where he supported 760 agents through systems built on discipline and accountability. As the founder of Built for Life Financial Agency, he has incorporated financial literacy into discussions of time use.
The 168 Game presents exercises for evaluating how time is spent, strategies for limiting distractions, and approaches to clarifying priorities. The framework is discussed in relation to different settings, including families aiming to preserve shared time, entrepreneurs considering opportunities, and professionals working toward more deliberate planning.
Korman describes the challenge as a choice: continue reacting to the accelerating pace of life as technology reshapes industries, or direct available hours with greater clarity. He notes that as work evolves, those who approach their time with deliberation may be better able to adapt.

Survivors of Abuse NJ: A Leading Child Sexual Abuse Law Firm in New Jersey

Mount Laurel Township, New Jersey - September 12, 2025 -  (PRESS ADVANTAGE) - 
Newark, New Jersey — Survivors of Abuse NJ, led by renowned civil litigator Joseph L. Messa, Esq., has become a trusted resource for survivors of child sexual abuse seeking justice across New Jersey. The firm is widely recognized for its dedication to holding abusers and negligent institutions accountable, while providing trauma-informed advocacy for survivors who endured childhood abuse.
Child sexual abuse remains a devastating and underreported crisis, often occurring in institutions once considered safe havens such as schools, religious organizations, sports programs, and childcare centers. Survivors face long-lasting trauma, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and relationship difficulties, which makes compassionate and skilled legal representation essential. In New Jersey, civil laws now allow survivors to file lawsuits until age 55, or within seven years of discovering the abuse—whichever comes later. This extended window has empowered countless individuals to come forward for the first time and seek accountability.

Survivors of Abuse NJ, based in Mt. Laurel, has earned its reputation through decades of passionate legal advocacy and survivor-centered support. The firm represents clients across the entire state, including Newark, Jersey City, Camden, Mercer, and Morris Counties. Under the leadership of Joseph L. Messa, Jr., Esq., a board-certified trial attorney with more than 30 years of litigation experience, the firm combines strategic legal action with trauma-informed care. Survivors are ensured a supportive environment where their voices are heard, their rights protected, and their cases vigorously pursued.
“Childhood sexual abuse cases require more than just legal expertise—they require compassion, patience, and a survivor-first mindset,” said Joseph L. Messa, Esq. “Too often, victims are silenced, blamed, or retraumatized. Our mission is to change that dynamic and amplify their voices, whether in courtrooms or during negotiations with powerful institutions.”
Messa and his team have secured numerous multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts on behalf of survivors. Their cases often involve child abuse committed by clergy, teachers, daycare workers, medical professionals, and organizational leaders. Survivors benefit from not only the firm’s litigation experience but also its network of support services, including therapists, victim advocacy organizations, and crisis resources.
The Abuse Lawyer NJ is also known for conducting thorough investigations and exposing systemic failures that allow abuse to occur. The firm works with expert witnesses, reviews internal records, and uncovers hidden patterns of misconduct to strengthen survivors’ cases. Messa’s deep understanding of New Jersey’s Child Victims Act has positioned the firm as a leader in representing individuals who were previously barred by outdated statutes of limitations.
“Every survivor deserves the chance to hold those responsible accountable,” Messa added. “Whether it’s an individual abuser or an institution that turned a blind eye, our goal is to fight tirelessly for justice while providing a pathway to healing.”
The team at Survivors of Abuse NJ is committed to guiding clients through each step of the legal process, balancing aggressive advocacy with sensitivity to the emotional challenges survivors face. By reshaping how child sexual abuse is addressed legally and culturally in New Jersey, the firm continues to stand as a beacon of hope for those who have endured unimaginable harm.
Survivors ready to explore their legal options can take the first step by reaching out for a free, confidential consultation. Survivors of Abuse NJ operates on a contingency fee basis—clients pay nothing unless compensation is recovered.

Eco-Cleaning Tips from Iken Clean: How Odenton, MD Residents Can Prep Their Homes for the Rainy Season Naturally

- 
Odenton, MD — As Maryland enters its late-summer rainy season, homeowners in Odenton are bracing for the usual increase in humidity, moisture buildup, and mold risks. Iken Clean, a locally trusted eco-conscious cleaning company, is stepping in to help residents get ahead of these seasonal challenges with expert guidance and sustainable cleaning solutions.
The company is sharing its top eco-cleaning strategies for Odenton households to protect their living spaces while maintaining a healthy indoor environment. These tips are especially valuable for those looking to reduce their reliance on harsh chemical products, lower indoor allergen levels, and prevent moisture-related damage—naturally.
Rainy season in Odenton often brings a spike in indoor air quality issues. Closed windows, wet shoes, and elevated humidity levels can create the perfect breeding ground for mildew, mold, and musty odors. Many residents turn to chemical-based cleaning sprays and air fresheners to combat the problem—but these can actually worsen respiratory health and introduce new toxins into the home.
Iken Clean encourages a safer, more sustainable approach that relies on natural, biodegradable ingredients and preventive techniques. Their goal is to help homeowners clean smarter—not just harder—during the wettest part of the year.
“Most people don’t realize how much damage a few weeks of rain can do to a home’s air quality and surfaces,” said a spokesperson from Iken Clean. “Our team is committed to helping Odenton residents prepare their homes with eco-friendly methods that are tough on mold, safe for families, and kind to the environment.”
As part of its commitment to community education, Iken Clean has compiled a list of five essential tips homeowners can use to prep for wet weather. These tips are especially useful for those with allergies, kids, or pets at home.
Instead of synthetic sprays, use baking soda or activated charcoal to absorb odors from damp shoes, carpets, and closets. A bowl of baking soda placed in high-humidity zones can also help reduce lingering moisture in the air.
Look for multi-surface sprays made with vinegar, citrus oils, or castile soap. These options clean effectively without introducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can trigger allergies or worsen asthma.
Rainy days bring in mud, pollen, and bacteria from outside. Use microfiber cloths and a mild vinegar solution to clean floors, doormats, and door handles—areas often overlooked in day-to-day cleaning.
A HEPA-equipped vacuum traps dust, mold spores, and fine particles, preventing them from circulating through your home. Vacuum high-traffic areas at least twice a week during wet months.
Basements, under-sink cabinets, and window sills are prime spots for mold growth. Use a natural anti-fungal spray (tea tree oil works well) and ensure ventilation is adequate in these areas.
Aside from being safer for people and pets, eco-cleaning methods offer long-term benefits. Unlike harsh bleaches or ammonia-based cleaners, natural products don’t corrode surfaces, leave chemical residues, or degrade indoor air quality. This is especially important during rainy periods when homes are sealed tight and air circulation is limited.
Moreover, sustainable cleaning products are biodegradable, meaning they pose no harm to local waterways—an important consideration during storm season when runoff and drainage become more active.
Iken Clean also emphasizes that eco-cleaning isn’t just about products; it’s about behavior. From reducing paper towel waste to using reusable mop pads and cleaning tools, Odenton residents can make small changes that collectively reduce environmental impact.
While DIY strategies are a great starting point, Iken Clean also offers full-service green cleaning for households looking for a deeper level of support. Their professional team is trained in mold prevention, allergen reduction, and safe disinfection—all using non-toxic products approved for use around kids, pets, and sensitive individuals.
Homeowners seeking a cleaning service in Odenton, MD that aligns with both health and sustainability goals can rely on Iken Clean’s customized service plans. Whether it’s a one-time rainy season deep clean or regular eco-friendly upkeep, the company provides reliable solutions tailored to Odenton’s unique weather patterns and residential needs.
To learn more about their full-service eco-cleaning solutions, visit their House Cleaning Service in Odenton, MD page for details, scheduling, and service area coverage.
Maryland’s summer-fall transition often comes with significant rainfall and high humidity, especially in suburban communities like Odenton. These conditions make homes more vulnerable to mold growth, lingering moisture, and dust mite infestations—all of which can contribute to allergy symptoms, skin irritation, and even structural damage.
Wet shoes and umbrellas left in entryways, saturated doormats, and foggy windows are common signs that moisture is seeping into living spaces. Even more concerning are the hidden risks—condensation in HVAC systems, excess humidity in crawl spaces, or mildew forming behind furniture pushed up against exterior walls.
By preparing now, homeowners can avoid costly remediation later in the season. Iken Clean’s approach helps residents prevent problems before they start—through both proactive cleaning and personalized advice.
Iken Clean is a locally owned and operated cleaning company based in Odenton, MD, specializing in environmentally responsible residential and commercial cleaning services. Their mission is to create healthier homes through sustainable practices, non-toxic products, and client education. With a growing reputation for trust and quality, Iken Clean continues to serve the community with integrity and care.

Century Pools Launches Educational Initiative to Help Homeowners Maximize Inground Pool Longevity

- 
Century Pools, a leading Northern California pool construction company serving the region since 1964, has launched a comprehensive customer education initiative designed to help homeowners extend the lifespan of their inground pools through proper maintenance and care practices.
The initiative addresses a growing need among pool owners who want to protect their investment and ensure their pools remain in optimal condition for decades. With the average inground pool representing a significant home improvement investment, the company's educational program focuses on preventive maintenance strategies that can add years to a pool's functional life.
"Many homeowners don't realize that simple, consistent maintenance practices can double the lifespan of their pool systems," said Patrick O'Neal, senior representative at Century Pools. "Through this educational initiative, we're empowering families with the knowledge they need to protect their investment and enjoy their pools for generations to come."
The program covers essential maintenance topics including water chemistry balance, equipment care, seasonal preparation, and early problem detection. Participants learn how proper pH levels prevent surface deterioration, how regular filter cleaning extends pump life, and how winterization techniques protect pools during colder months. The initiative also addresses common misconceptions about pool care that can lead to premature wear and costly repairs.
Century Pools has developed the educational content based on nearly six decades of experience in inground pool construction and maintenance throughout Northern California. The company's expertise spans various pool types including gunite, freeform, and geometric designs, giving them unique insights into the specific care requirements of different pool systems.
The timing of the initiative coincides with increasing awareness about sustainable pool ownership. Modern pool owners seek ways to reduce chemical usage, minimize water waste, and lower energy consumption while maintaining pristine pool conditions. The educational program addresses these concerns by teaching eco-friendly maintenance techniques that benefit both pool longevity and environmental conservation.
Beyond basic maintenance, the initiative covers advanced topics such as recognizing early signs of structural issues, understanding warranty requirements, and planning for long-term upgrades. Homeowners learn when professional intervention is necessary and how to select qualified service providers for specialized repairs.
The company's commitment to customer education reflects broader industry trends toward empowering pool owners with practical knowledge. As pool technology becomes more sophisticated, proper maintenance becomes increasingly important for preserving advanced features like automated cleaning systems, energy-efficient pumps, and smart pool controls.

Century Pools maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and has built its reputation on quality craftsmanship and customer service throughout Sacramento, Roseville, Lincoln, Elk Grove, and surrounding communities. The family-owned business specializes in custom pool design and construction, offering everything from traditional rectangular pools to elaborate pool and spa combinations with infinity edges and variable depths. Their expertise encompasses the entire pool lifecycle, from initial design consultation through long-term maintenance support.

CMW Roofing & Siding Expands Storm Damage Repair Expertise for Homeowners

- 
CMW Roofing & Siding, a leading provider of roofing services in CT, has announced expanded expertise in storm damage repair to better serve homeowners impacted by wind, hail, and heavy rain. The enhanced services are designed to provide rapid response, effective repairs, and comprehensive support with insurance claims for weather-related roofing damage.
Connecticut’s seasonal storms can cause significant roof damage, especially during tropical weather systems and intense summer thunderstorms. CMW Roofing & Siding has expanded its capabilities to meet the rising demand for skilled storm damage restoration while maintaining its commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction.
“Storm damage requires a fast, precise response to prevent further complications,” said a spokesperson for CMW Roofing & Siding. “Our team is equipped to address everything from missing shingles to structural damage, and we work closely with insurance adjusters to streamline the claims process for homeowners.”
The region’s unpredictable weather patterns have made storm preparedness essential for property owners. High winds, heavy rainfall, and hail can damage roofing materials, loosen flashing, and compromise water barriers. Left unaddressed, these issues may lead to interior leaks, mold growth, or structural weakening.
According to the National Weather Service, Connecticut averages multiple severe thunderstorm events each summer, with peak storm season typically occurring from June through August. The combination of wind gusts, debris impact, and torrential rain can cause extensive roofing damage that requires immediate professional attention.
CMW Roofing & Siding advises homeowners to have their roofs inspected promptly after any major weather event. Even minor storm damage can escalate quickly, especially if moisture penetrates under the shingles.
In response to increasing storm activity, CMW has expanded its storm damage repair offerings to include:
Rapid emergency response to secure damaged roofs and prevent further water intrusion.
Thorough roof inspections to identify visible and hidden storm-related issues.
Comprehensive repair and replacement services tailored to the severity of the damage.
Insurance claim support to assist homeowners in documenting damage and communicating with insurers.
These expanded capabilities align with CMW’s broader commitment to delivering reliable, long-lasting roofing services in CT. Homeowners can also explore the company’s full range of services at Roofing Services CT.
Navigating the insurance claim process after a storm can be overwhelming. CMW Roofing & Siding offers direct support to help homeowners document damages, prepare accurate repair estimates, and communicate effectively with adjusters. This assistance helps ensure that necessary repairs are covered and completed in a timely manner.
“Our role is more than just repairing the roof,” the spokesperson added. “We help take the stress out of the recovery process by guiding homeowners through every step, from inspection to final approval.”
While no roof can be made completely storm-proof, proactive maintenance can reduce the risk of major damage. CMW encourages homeowners to schedule annual roof inspections and address small issues before storm season begins.
Simple steps—such as replacing aging shingles, securing loose flashing, and clearing gutters—can significantly improve a roof’s resilience against wind and rain. By investing in preventative measures, homeowners can extend the life of their roofing systems and avoid costly emergency repairs.
With over a decade of experience serving Monroe and surrounding communities, CMW Roofing & Siding has earned a reputation for quality, reliability, and exceptional customer care.
