CCTV+: Xi dedicated to people-oriented governance in political career

BEIJING, June 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ —

Storyline:

Chinese President Xi Jinping has been dedicated to the cause of making people’s life better in his political career so far.

With a determination to do good things for people, Xi’s political career started in 1982 in north China’s Hebei Province when he assumed his post as the deputy secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Committee of Zhengding County.

During his time in Zhengding, Xi rode a bicycle to inspect every region of the county, and focused on issues closely related to people’s livelihood, such as the unreasonably high amount of grain local farmers had to sell to the government under the regulations of the time.

Xi then wrote a letter to the central government on the issue, and the amount of grain to be purchased by government was readjusted after a thorough investigation.

From his efforts for rural residents in early years to the proposal of the Chinese Dream as the president, bringing tangible benefits to the people has always been Xi’s strongest belief.

One and a half month later, Xi inspected a village 300 kilometers away from Beijing to learn about the living conditions of poor families during the harsh winter.

Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, Xi has made more than 100 inspection trips to learn about the situation at the grassroots level, and listed many difficulties of the people into the working agenda and reform plans of the central government.

Xi has joined the panel discussions of the National People’s Congress and the National Committee of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference 56 times in the past 11 years to learn about the people’s opinions from about 400 representatives.

When meeting then Italian Lower House Speaker Roberto Fico in 2019, Xi was asked about his feelings when he was elected president of China.

Xi said it was a huge responsibility and hard work to govern such a big country, and he would put aside his own well-being for the good of the Chinese people.

Starting as a village official and now the president of China, Xi has always given people the top priority in his heart and showed his deep love for the Chinese people with dedicated work.

Diane Wang Emphasizes the Significance of Digital Tools in Boosting Women Entrepreneurship at the 2023 BRICS Women’s Leadership Forum

BEIJING, June 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — To deepen business cooperation and promote women entrepreneurship among BRICS countries, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and the China Chamber of International Commerce (CCOIC) held the 2023 BRICS Women’s Leadership Forum on June 5 in Beijing.

Diane Wang, Member of BRICS WBA China Chapter, Founder, Chairperson & CEO of DHGATE Group, attended the panel discussion themed “She Leads in Digital Transformation”, along with Nobukhosi Dlamini, CEO of Bahati Tech, Mônica Pinhanez, CEO of Zeka Digital Education, Jingjing Xu, Chair of the Board, Meridian Smart Health Technology Beijing Ltd and Ayesha Nazneen, COO of Apollo Telehealth Services.

MyyShop stages numerous budding women entrepreneurs

“We have to face the severe situation that there are still high barriers for women to gain knowledge,” said Diane during the forum, drawing participants’ attention to a survey carried out last year by the APEC Business Advisory Council in which 63% of women respondents from MSMEs reported a lack of professional skills while more than 50% expressed a strong need for training in digital tools. “All parties are in action, but I would like to reiterate to strengthen multilateral cooperation in the digital capability building for women, help women to access digital skills in a practical way to realize entrepreneurship,” she added.

To lower the barriers for women to participate in e-commerce to an absolute minimum and provide a powerful digital tool for young women entrepreneurs to grow their social commerce business, DHGATE launched MyyShop in 2020 as a pioneering social commerce platform. MyyShop provides digitalization tools and step-by-step support to empower creators, influencers, and individual entrepreneurs with social influence to effortlessly monetize their influence on social platforms. Put simply, users can “Share to Earn” by selling through shoppable feeds or leveraging influencer marketing on social platforms.  

Diane shared the story of Sonya, a Russian woman’s story to allow participants to have a full picture of how MyyShop works to help women stand on their own feet. Sonya is an international student studying in China. She once modeled part-time but gave that up when COVID-19 hit. Fortunately, she started to learn e-commerce knowledge and skills on MyyShop and tried to recommend wigs to her followers, which were shipped by MyyShop suppliers. Now, her monthly revenue is above USD 400,000, which not only allows her to pay her tuition fees but also allows her to partly support her family.

“This is a touching story that makes us believe that if we provide training to women and connect them with resources, they can better participate in the digital economy and make themselves better off. “

For women entrepreneurs, MyyShop addresses complex supply chain challenges in cross-border e-commerce using innovative technology and services. This enables women to leverage their strengths and actively participate in the digital economy with equal opportunities.

“We should strive to harness and utilize the latest technology. I look forward to seeing more women-led entrepreneurial enterprises effectively leverage the power of social networks and new technologies,” said Diane, pointing out the infinite potential of digital transformation.

A new women empowerment community to come

Diane appealed for different organizations among BRICS countries to cooperate with and promote outstanding women role models to inspire more women worldwide, foster an environment of public opinion that supports women entrepreneurs, and let women see the limitless potential of the digital economy.

To encourage the global women community to stand up, raise their voices, and break old stereotypes, Diane is in the process of establishing an international women empowerment community. “The road for women to form and grow a business is long and difficult,” said Diane, who founded DHGATE in 2004.

“If someone can guide budding entrepreneurs as mentors, allowing them to learn from their valuable experience, such women are more likely to succeed,” she added. This community will serve as a platform for women to support each other, giving them the opportunity to learn new skills, acquire new resources, realize their potential faster and better, and let the world see “Her Power”.

This new community initiative follows the APEC Women Connect platform initiated by Diane in 2016. As an APEC-endorsed program, the platform aims to empower women, especially young women, to realize entrepreneurship through digital solutions, including inspirational sharing, practical learning, effective recognition, and awards.

“We will continue to persist with this project and continuously expand its influence to drive and assist more women entrepreneurs,” said Diane.

During the 2023 BRICS Women’s Leadership Forum, the BRICS Women’s Development Report for 2023 was also published to provide an overview of the current state and progress of women’s development in these countries.

In April, Zhihu debuted Zhihaitu AI — a Chinese large language model co-developed with Model Best, a Beijing startup engaged in artificial intelligence models. New progress on Zhihaitu AI will be updated during the expo, said the organizer.

The expo has been held in Guiyang since 2015 and is the first of its kind in China, forming a communication platform for pivotal achievements in the big data industry.

As the country’s first national big data comprehensive pilot zone, Guizhou Province has been promoting the big data industry as a backbone of its high-quality social and economic development.

In 2022, Guizhou accelerated the development of the big data industry, and the province’s added value of the electronic information manufacturing industry rose by more than 60 percent.

To address the common requirements of high-value scenarios across multiple industries, Huawei has combined the needed ICT products into Portfolio Solutions, which are pre-integrated and pre-verified. This helps Huawei work more efficiently with partners to develop industry solutions. Portfolio Solutions facilitate partners’ R&D, marketing, sales, and services by making R&D more efficient, integration simpler, and delivery easier, helping partners achieve business success in an all-round way.

In terms of R&D, Portfolio Solutions leverage advantages in product synergy to ensure APIs are unified and reduce the cost of secondary development. Portfolio Solutions help Huawei’s partners build competitive solutions more quickly.

In terms of marketing, Portfolio Solutions are oriented to customers’ high-value scenarios, and can spark customer interest, helping partners win more sales opportunities. Huawei will carry out joint marketing with partners to improve market influence.

In terms of sales, Huawei provides typical configurations for Portfolio Solutions, facilitating quotation and improving sales efficiency. Compared with selling single products, selling Portfolio Solutions helps partners gain more sales opportunities and revenue.

In terms of service, Huawei performs pre-integration and pre-verification across products, and provides the right delivery tools and templates to make onsite delivery easier and faster for partners.

At the conference, Huawei launched a number of upgraded Portfolio Solutions, including High-Performance Resource Pool, Simplified Office Network, and Smart Pole Site.

  • Data Center: The High-Performance Resource Pool combines multiple products, including databases, servers, storage devices, and switches, and leverages software-hardware synergy to achieve optimal latency, concurrency, and throughput, enabling financial and government customers to upgrade their core application systems.
  • Campus: The Simplified Office Network combines CloudEngine S switches, OptiXAccess optical line terminations (OLTs), OptiXstar optical network units (ONUs), AirEngine access points (APs), HiSecEngine security, eSight, and iMaster Network Cloud Engine (NCE). It simplifies access, architecture, and O&M to help customers build office campus networks with the optimal user experience.
  • Digital Site: The Smart Pole Site combines software-defined cameras (SDCs), AR series industrial-grade IoT gateways, switches, Atlas for edge computing, and long-distance high-bandwidth microwave products to achieve intensive construction of sites, facilitating smart cities. What used to require multiple poles can now be achieved by just one pole; the same pole can serve multiple purposes; and pole operations are unified.

Su Baohua, President of Huawei Intelligent Campus Business, He Weizhi, Vice President of Huawei Asia Pacific Enterprise Business, Daniel Shen, General Manager of Omdia, and Ivy Sun, Head of Omdia’s Intelligent Campus Business, jointly released the 2023 Future Intelligent Campus White Paper for Asia Pacific, sharing insights into the development trends of intelligent campuses and exploring more effective ways to chart the future of intelligent campuses in Asia Pacific.
