Foreign Languages Press: China’s active role in promoting human rights within the framework of global governance


BEIJING, Dec. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Foreign Languages Press recently invited a panel of scholars to evaluate its multi-language publication titled “Xi Jinping: On Respecting and Protecting Human Rights.”

Urdu Cover of Xi Jinping's Book: On Respecting and Protecting Human Rights
Urdu Cover of Xi Jinping’s Book: On Respecting and Protecting Human Rights

Liu Huawen, executive director and researcher at Human Rights Research Center of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the book provides a comprehensive review of President Xi Jinping’s approach to respecting and protecting human rights. The book also provides important insights into how China plays an active role in promoting human rights within the framework of global governance. Active participation in promoting human rights within the framework of global governance embodies an important approach and major milestone for China to achieve human rights-based development. In the book Xi Jinping: On Respecting and Protecting Human Rights, President Xi Jinping illustrated four points.

First, countries around the world should practice true multilateralism, and safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order underpinned by international law.

In his speech at the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly on September 21, 2021, Xi said, “…we must improve global governance and practice true multilateralism. In the world, there is only one international system, i.e. the international system with the United Nations at its core. There is only one international order, i.e. the international order underpinned by international law.” He also stressed the importance of the UN to “advance, in a balanced manner, work in all the three areas of security, development and human rights.”

Second, all countries should emphasize the importance of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and create a virtuous cycle where cooperation, development and human rights reinforce one another.

China is the first developing country to realize the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), contributing over 70 percent to global poverty reduction. While managing its own affairs well, China is also an active player in driving global economic growth. An advocate and practitioner of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, China highly values the formulation and implementation of the United Nations development agenda.

Third, China has devoted serious energy to the development of developing countries and South-South cooperation.

Being the largest developing country itself, China faces the same or similar task with other developing countries along the path to survive and thrive through economic and social development. In fact, a basic principle in China’s foreign policy is to strengthen solidarity and cooperation with third world countries.

Fourth, every country should uphold the common values of humanity, playing an active role in the building of a global community of shared future.

Thanks to China’s efforts, the United Nations Security Council, the Economic and Social Council and the Human Rights Council have included the concept of building a global community of shared future in a number of resolutions, making it an increasingly significant component in international human rights discourse. The international community has achieved the consensus that human rights should be respected and protected, and that solidarity and cooperation should be strengthened. Promoting human rights within the framework of global governance is anchored in the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom illuminated by President Xi Jinping, and in the building of a global community of shared future.

WuKong Education Joins Asian American Authors to Celebrate AAPI Heritage Month by Matching Book Donations to US K-12 Schools

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — WuKong Education, a leading online education technology company with over 300,000 students worldwide, joins four Asian American authors to donate 1,500+ books to 100 US K-12 schools during Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. As WuKong Education marks its seventh anniversary, the brand launches additional offerings to showcase its diverse and inclusive values.

Among the many groups who were honoring AAPI Heritage Month in May, two groups of likeminded educators initiated book drives aiming to inspire children to see themselves as heroes.

From WuKong Education’s new headquarters in Silicon Valley, the team coordinated with rural schools in Asia to set up book corners for disadvantaged children. Since WuKong Education’s inception in 2016, the company’s online classes have expanded to 300,000 families in 118 countries with the focus of teaching Chinese as a second language. As the majority of WuKong students’ families share a common root in Asia, rural schools in Indonesia and Thailand were chosen to host reading corners with hundreds of new books.

Meanwhile, in New York, Massachusetts, and Washington State, four Asian American authors, Yobe Qiu, Serena Li, Vincent Yee, and Tracy Guan met over Zoom to plan the “Asian American Books, Everywhere All at Once” book drive. Inspired by the Oscar-winning movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” the authors’ goal was to send 500 books to 25 schools in the US. This is crucial, as less than 15% of books published feature an AAPI character.

Rebecca Deng, Head of Marketing for North America at WuKong Education, saw both great causes. “We wanted to do something to make it even bigger and better. I knew more schools would love to receive AAPI books,” said Deng, who is a mother of two. With WuKong Education’s matched donation, 1,500+ books will be donated to 100 schools during AAPI Heritage Month.

In addition, WuKong Education will support the Disney+ series “American Born Chinese,” starring Daniel Wu who plays Sun Wukong. During the series’ release in May, WuKong Education will give away Disney+ annual memberships to lucky WuKong students, allowing more children to see themselves as heroes in mainstream media. These activities demonstrate WuKong Education’s values and social responsibility to the AAPI community, as well as provide all students with richer learning and cultural experiences.

Founded in New Zealand in 2016, WuKong Education was one of the first companies to enter the Chinese language online education field. In 2021, the company launched WuKong Math to help improve young learners’ logical thinking, problem solving, and comprehensive mathematical abilities. As part of its seventh anniversary, WuKong Education plans to launch English Language Arts classes, as requested by its students, 88% of whom speak English as their first language. This summer, students will be able to take WuKong Chinese, WuKong Math, and WuKong English with WuKong’s network of 3,000+ teachers.

Moment of Service

IFS CEO Darren Roos’s ‘Moment of Service’ explores how its customers across industries execute their servitization strategy and put the Moment of Service at the heart of transformation. 

LONDON, Jan. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — IFS, the global cloud enterprise software company, today announced the launch of ‘Moment of Service’, a book by IFS CEO Darren Roos.

The company shared its pledge to help customers deliver their Moment of Service in February 2021 as part of its global re-brand. Since then, Moment of Service – both as a concept and mantra for IFS – has undergone extensive research and validation with customers, and is proving to resonate deeply across companies of all sizes and across industries.

This is Darren’s first major publication since joining IFS as CEO in April 2018. He approaches the ‘Moment of Service’ by exploring the different considerations companies must make in order to successfully evolve their business and reap the growth benefits. 

‘Moment of Service’ articulates the heart of IFS’s vision: helping its customers deliver their best when it matters most – at the moment of service. The concept is brought to life through detailed customer case studies, with the book highlighting the key components of service transformation from the accelerants of servitization to the need for deep domain expertise, fiscal fairness, the power of evergreen and the role of supply chains in delivering magical Moments of service. The book illustrates the strategies and challenges, as well as successes from companies globally.

The Moment of Service theme has remained central to IFS’s own customer pledge, and was evident at IFS Unleashed – the recent IFS community event held in Miami in October 2022. The global event saw customers take to the stage, demonstrating the continued impact of servitization and how it is central to their business transformation, and sharing how successful business outcomes rely on having their own Moment of Service at the heart.

With contributions from Cheer Pack, Jotun, Panasonic HVAC, ANDRITZ, CimCorp, Munters, Southwest Airlines, TDC, Cubic Transformation Systems, Transport for London, and Rolls-Royce,  “Moment of Service” provides an insight into the changes companies have made or need to make, from technology to operational models and people skills, to deliver a great outcome for their customers.

Darren Roos, Chief Executive Officer, IFS, said: “Moment of Service” ties together the eco-system of delivering “service” to customers.” He continued, “If you accept that there is a Moment of Service, you understand what you need to do to orchestrate your assets, customers, and people to deliver that Moment of Service, and this is very, very compelling.”

Roberto Franchitti, Executive Vice President for Services, Tetra Pak, commented: “Each Tetra Pak package produced is a potential moment of service. That’s more than 190 billion moments of service per year.”

He continued, “We have machines that can produce 11 packs per second. In other words, the output from our customers’ production equipment represents a continuous moment of service, and that continuous moment of service is something that our customers depend on for all business transformation efforts.”

About the Author:

Darren Roos is into his fifth year as CEO of IFS, a post he took in April 2018. His vision spearheaded the transformation of the company internally through modernization and digital transformation and externally with the promise of delivering value to customers and putting them at the heart of the IFS business and product development strategy.

Darren built his career in global software businesses over 20 years. He previously served as President of SAP’s global ERP Cloud business, with prior roles as General Manager of Northern Europe and Chief Operating Officer of EMEA for the company. Darren also was formerly the President of EMEA, APJ, LATAM at Software AG, during which time he served on Software AG’s Group Executive Board. In addition to his IFS role, Darren is a board director at Sitecore and launched Inner Wings, a confidence-building foundation.

2022 H1 Mobile App Selling White Paper Successfully Released

BEIJING, Aug. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — On July 4th, Dongli Bai from Reyun released the “2022 H1 Mobile App Selling White Paper”. Since the first release of the “2017 Annual Game Selling White Paper”, Dongli Bai, who is deeply involved in big data, has been releasing industry-selling white papers for many years, and the white papers he published are used as important and comprehensive data reference by mobile industry practitioners.

Dongli Bai, the founder and CEO of Reyun Data
Dongli Bai, the founder and CEO of Reyun Data

In November 2013, Dongli Bai founded Reyun. He has been working in the field of game big data analysis for many years, and he is using industry-leading concepts and technologies to help game companies improve operational efficiency, retain paying users, reduce advertising costs, and improve the return on advertising.

The strong technical advantage solves the customer problems that game companies are most concerned about, so his company was established only one year ago, and already has more than 3,000 users. At present, the share of Reyun in China’s mobile game big data service market has exceeded 85%, which can be said to be a dominant one. Under Bai’s leadership, Reyun has made outstanding contributions to the Chinese game industry, so his company has won many industry awards, including the 2015 Best Third Party Service Provider Award for the Game Industry, the 2015 Top Ten Outstanding Contribution Award for the Game Industry, and the 2015-2016 Most Influential Enterprise Award in China Internet and Big Data.

In 2016, Bai led his team to create the original advertising data monitoring platform, TrackingIO. The types of customers of Reyun expanded from the game industry to finance, social, e-commerce, education, live streaming, O2O, real estate, life services, mobile operators, and many other fields. These companies need to invest a lot of money to buy traffic, and through TrackingIO monitoring platform, Reyun helps them save nearly 70% of the traffic cost.

In addition to this, the TrackingIO monitoring platform can also connect the monitored market placement data and user behavior data, a feature that fills the gap in the industry and significantly improves customer retention for enterprises. The leading technology and more practical functions have kept TrackingIO in the first place among similar products in China.

However, Bai encourages to continue to develop new products and build a complete advertising and marketing big data management system. He keeps the leading position in China in terms of concept and technology.

At the end of 2019, Bai led his team to develop AdsDesk, an advertising intelligence placement platform where customers can achieve intelligent and efficient ad placement management. In the following year, the ad placement budget on this platform exceeded RMB 40 million per day.

In 2020, Bai led his team to launch the ADinsight ad material intelligence monitoring service (later updated to CAS system), which helps Chinese companies going abroad to understand user preferences, ad placement trends, and ad platform quality in different countries and regions, so as to significantly improve ad placement effectiveness.

In the same year, Bai also led his team to develop an A/B testing system to allow advertisers to achieve better placement results through testing and comparison of different solutions, thus making Reyun the first big data service provider in China to launch this service. This business was written into China’s first A/B testing monograph “A/B Testing: Innovation Begins with Experimentation”.

Bai has led the rapid development of Reyun, and the company’s data resources have covered more than 2.3 billion mobile devices, covered nearly 220,000 apps of all kinds, and providing services to tens of thousands of enterprises in dozens of fields. Reyun has become a well-deserved leader in China’s big data service industry. Based on data, Bai has helped various industries achieve business growth with big data analysis, which has greatly contributed to the development of the industry. As a result, he has been awarded several industry honors such as the 2017 China Mobile Internet Leader, the 2017 GMGC Tianfu Award for Emerging Figures, the 2017 100 People of New Marketing, and the 2020 100 people of Entrepreneur of the Year.

Under his leadership, the company and its products have also won more than 50 industry awards.

Led by Bai, Reyun has not only helped Chinese companies expand rapidly in overseas markets, but also helped overseas brands do business smoothly in the large and complex Chinese market. In recognition of Reyun’s innovation and leadership in China’s big data services industry, Mobvista, the No. 1 mobile digital marketing platform in Asia and No. 3 in global reach, completed its acquisition of Reyun in 2021 for consideration of $1.5 billion.

Along the way, for just less than 8 years, Bai has obtained a number of patents, created and released a series of national leading big data services, helped tens of thousands of enterprises in various industries to improve operational efficiency, saved high costs, and accelerated the innovation and development of enterprises. However, Bai is not satisfied with this, and he keeps running on the road of innovation. We look forward to seeing him using advanced big data solutions to help more companies grow and develop.

China Literature and Singapore’s Top Two Universities Launch Platform to Nurture Passionate Young Authors

The online literature platform teams up with National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University to launch Global Author Incubation Project 2022, a platform designed to cultivate budding writers

Five top authors were invited to the project’s first session, an event that took place in 2021. During the session, they delivered lectures that examined the history and development trends of online literature from different perspectives, including looking at what types of content are trending as well as how the business model is evolving. The winners of the Webnovel Spirity Awards Spring 2021 (WSA 2021) were also announced during the session, with Elyon, XIETIAN and KazzenIX each receiving the Gold Award and a cash prize of US$10,000. First launched in 2019 in Southeast Asia, WSA has been recognized as an important event in the booming online literature sector.

Furthermore, authors on the platform can also increase their income through subscription revenue and rewards from readers.
