Currently, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are accelerating breakthroughs, and artificial intelligence technology and industrial development are advancing by leaps and bounds, bringing new opportunities for global companies, including Apple, to develop in Shanghai. Welcome to make good use of Shanghai’s advantages in reform and opening up, technological innovation, and market channels to deepen exchanges and cooperation around the supply of smart terminals, cultivation of innovative ecosystems, and healthy development of artificial intelligence, and promote more new products, new technologies, and new services to be launched in Shanghai.

I am very happy to see new practices and new explorations of artificial intelligence technology empowering thousands of industries here. I am willing to continue to work in Shanghai and work with partners to strengthen docking and deepen cooperation around artificial intelligence development, industrial ecological construction, supply chain management, green and low-carbon transformation, etc., and play a good role as a bridge between the business community in promoting the stable and healthy development of U.S.-China economic and trade relations, so as to better achieve mutually beneficial and win-win development. (Shangguan News) B[Eight departments including the State Administration for Market Regulation jointly issued a pilot plan to create a "strong engine of quality" for industrial upgrading] On October 16, eight departments including the State Administration for Market Regulation, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the National Energy Administration, and the Civil Aviation Administration of China officially issued the "Pilot Work Plan for Inspection and Testing to Promote Industrial Optimization and Upgrading", marking a new stage for China's inspection and testing service industry to move from "single point breakthrough" to "system empowerment". The "Plan" closely follows the dual strategies of "strengthening the country with quality" and "expanding capacity and improving quality of the service industry", with the concept of "innovation-driven, transformation, collaborative linkage, and integrated development", focusing on industrial blockades and difficulties, and deploying three core efforts: First, tackle key technologies and activate the "new engine" of industrial upgrading. Focus on bottlenecks such as "cannot detect, cannot detect accurately, cannot detect quickly", strengthen core technology research and forward-looking reserves; deepen digital intelligence integration and green and low-carbon transformation, and improve full-chain service capabilities such as carbon footprint and water ecology;
Accelerate the mutual recognition of international qualifications to help advantageous industries such as photovoltaics and lithium batteries overcome trade barriers; accurately empower, specialize, specialize and other high-quality enterprises to gradually cultivate, create regional characteristic industrial clusters, and promote the county economy to leap from "having" to "excellent". The second is to achieve full-chain collaboration and forge the "resilience" of key industries. In view of the revitalization of traditional industries, the growth of emerging industries, and the cultivation of future industries, inspection and testing institutions are encouraged to be deeply embedded in the supply chain of chain owners, and improve the consistency and reliability of products throughout the chain through joint verification of upstream and downstream, mutual recognition of data, and research on common issues. Promote the extension of inspection and testing to the entire R&D and manufacturing chain, effectively improve the overall collaborative efficiency and risk resistance of the industrial chain, and realize the deep integration of advanced manufacturing and modern service industries. The third is to strengthen departmental coordination and build a "big pattern" of joint efforts and joint management. This pilot is jointly organized by eight departments to open up the application channels for industries, central enterprises and local governments, and implement voluntary declaration and independent implementation.
Various departments will coordinate the layout of the national quality inspection center, the construction of quality infrastructure systems, and policy resources in areas such as ecology and energy, and work together to resolutely put an end to formalism and ensure that the pilot results truly serve the optimization of industrial layout.
This coordinated linkage between the eight departments is a profound change in inspection and testing from "behind-the-scenes control" to "front-stage empowerment". The pilot application will be launched in November 2026, using the high-end inspection and digital transformation as a lever to accelerate the formation of new quality productivity. The "Plan" and the ongoing "two-wheel drive" of the National Quality Inspection Center's three-year action for quality improvement and optimization form a policy synergy that will accelerate the construction of a modern quality support system with clear positioning, advanced technology, and efficient services. B[Ling Ji met with CEO of Germany's DHL Group, Mark Taoyuan] On October 16, according to the official website of the Ministry of Commerce, on October 15, Vice Minister of Commerce and Deputy Representative of the People's Republic of China for International Trade Negotiations, Ling Ji met with Germany's DHL Group CEO, Mark Taoyuan. The two sides exchanged views on DHL's development in China and Sino-German and Sino-European economic and trade cooperation and other issues. Ling Ji said that the Chinese government will unswervingly promote high-level opening up to the outside world, accelerate the construction of a unified national market, and create an efficient and smooth modern logistics network, which will provide a broader development space for Chinese and foreign logistics companies, including DHL. The second regular meeting of the China-EU Trade and Investment Consultation Mechanism reached consensus on a series of outcomes, providing stability and certainty for cooperation between Chinese and European enterprises.
Mak Taoyuan said that DHL is confident in the Chinese market and is increasing its investment in China.

B[Pan Gongsheng, Governor of the People's Bank of China, attended the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting] On October 15, the Group of Twenty (G20) held the third G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting this year in Bangkok, Thailand. The meeting discussed the global economic situation and prospects, financial sector reform and other issues. Pan Gongsheng, Governor of the People's Bank of China, attended the meeting and delivered a speech, and Xu Changneng, Deputy Governor of the People's Bank of China, attended the meeting. All parties participating in the meeting believed that the world economy generally remains resilient, but still faces multiple risks and challenges. Trade frictions and protectionism drag down the global economy by affecting supply chains, pushing up inflation, disrupting market expectations and other factors. The financial sector is an important foundation for achieving effective allocation of resources and steady economic growth. All parties support improving the financial regulatory framework and maintaining financial stability. All parties called on the G20 to strengthen policy coordination and promote global economic growth.
Pan Gongsheng pointed out that intensifying geopolitical conflicts remain the biggest uncertainty for the global economy. The sharp fluctuations in the government bond markets of some countries and the risk of correction in the valuation of artificial intelligence-related assets have exacerbated financial vulnerabilities. Promoting the modernization of financial supervision does not mean relaxing supervision and should not damage the stability of the financial system and the level of risk resistance. All parties should make full use of the G20 financial cooperation platform, strengthen macroeconomic policy coordination, and work together to respond to global risks and challenges. Regarding global imbalances, all parties should have a more comprehensive analytical perspective. We should not only look at the current account, but also pay attention to financial channels. Especially as global financial integration deepens, more attention should be paid to the impact of financial factors such as capital flows on imbalances. Global imbalances cannot rely on exchange rate adjustment. The exchange rate is affected by many factors such as economic growth, monetary policy, financial markets, geopolitics, and unexpected risk events, and there is no simple linear relationship with the current account. Deficit countries and surplus countries should work together to achieve a dynamic balance in the global economy.
Pan Gongsheng said that the high-quality development of China's economy continues to improve, the financial market operates smoothly, and the fundamentals and supporting conditions for the long-term economic growth have not changed. The People's Bank of China will continue to implement moderately loose monetary policies to create a good monetary and financial environment for China's stable economic growth and the smooth operation of financial markets. B[Central Network Information Office and other departments: carry out special rectification of improper military-related marketing and hype information on the Internet] October 15th, in order to further standardize the dissemination management of military information on the Internet and conduct in-depth investigation and rectification of improper military-related marketing and hype information on the Internet, the Central Cyberspace Administration, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission, and the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of the Central Military Commission decided to launch a two-month special rectification of improper military-related marketing and hype information on the Internet starting from October.

(Network China) B[Wang Wentao meets with Tim Cook, executive chairman of Apple Inc.] On October 15, Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao met with Tim Cook, executive chairman of Apple Inc. The two sides exchanged views on Sino-US economic and trade relations, artificial intelligence development, Apple's business in China and other topics. Wang Wentao said that under the guidance of the consensus between the two heads of state to build a "constructive strategic and stable relationship between China and the United States based on respect, fairness, and reciprocity," China-US economic and trade consultations have achieved positive results. China advocates that the development of artificial intelligence is safe and controllable, universally beneficial, and governance cooperation. It is hoped that Apple will play a role as a communication bridge and contribute to the sustained, stable and positive development of Sino-US economic and trade relations. At present, China is unswervingly expanding high-level opening up to the outside world, continuing to optimize the business environment, expanding and upgrading the consumer market, and growing green supply chains, which will provide a broader space for multinational companies to invest in China and transform into smart, green, and innovative. It is hoped that Apple will continue to delve into the Chinese market and share the opportunities of Chinese-style modern development. Cook said that Apple is optimistic about China's development prospects, will further expand its business in China, and is willing to play an active role in promoting the stable and healthy development of U.S.-China economic and trade relations. B["Qiushi" magazine publishes an important article by General Secretary Xi Jinping "Promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the Party with higher standards and more practical measures"] The 20th issue of "Qiushi" magazine published on October 16 will publish an important article "Promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the Party with higher standards and more practical measures" by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, State President, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission.
The article emphasizes that the "15th Five-Year Plan" period is a critical period for basically realizing socialist modernization, laying a solid foundation, and making full efforts. To turn the blueprint drawn up by the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China into reality, we must uphold and strengthen the party's overall leadership and persistently promote comprehensive and strict governance of the party.
The article pointed out that we must implement the major decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee more resolutely and effectively. Implementing the major decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee is a fundamental requirement for maintaining the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee. It is also an important historical experience for the continuous development and progress of the cause of the Party and the people. Our emphasis on "two safeguards" and maintaining a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee must be reflected in practical actions to implement the Party Central Committee's major decisions and arrangements. We cannot just shout slogans, let alone say one thing and do another. It is necessary to closely focus on strategic deployments such as implementing new development concepts, promoting high-quality development, and accelerating the construction of a new development pattern, focusing on task requirements such as building a modern industrial system and developing new productive forces in accordance with local conditions, strengthening specific, precise, and regular supervision, making good use of inspection results, strengthening rectification supervision, and ensuring that the decisions and arrangements of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party are implemented. Resolute and effective implementation of the Party Central Committee's major decisions and arrangements and creative work are not inconsistent.
While strictly supervising, we must support and encourage all regions and departments to explore effective methods and approaches to implement the Party Central Committee's major decisions and arrangements based on actual conditions, so as to ensure that the final results are in line with the Party Central Committee's decision-making intentions and original policy intentions.
The article points out that power must be locked into an institutional cage more scientifically and effectively. Imprisoning power in an institutional cage is an important task of comprehensively and strictly governing the party in the new era. It is necessary to improve institutional regulations and tightly knit the cage, and to improve the execution of the system and strengthen rigid constraints. It is necessary to strengthen the supply of systems based on the actual needs of managing and governing the party, so that the system is dense but not complicated and effective, and prevents the "cat in the cattle pen". We must adhere to the principle that everyone is equal before laws and regulations, that there are no privileges in complying with laws and regulations, and that there are no exceptions in enforcing laws and regulations, and ensure that system regulations truly become live high-voltage lines. It is necessary to focus on solving the problem of the "top leaders" taking the lead in implementing the system. Members of the leadership team at all levels, especially the "top leaders", must lead by example and take the lead in implementation, and relevant supervision must also be in place.
The article points out that we must advance the fight against corruption more clearly and firmly. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has successfully embarked on an anti-corruption path with Chinese characteristics under the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, addressing both the symptoms and root causes, and promoting the anti-corruption path with Chinese characteristics in an integrated manner. We must continue on this road firmly. At present, corruption problems are still prone to occur. Facts have once again shown that the Party Central Committee’s judgment that “the situation in the anti-corruption struggle remains severe and complex, and the task of eradicating the soil and conditions that breed corruption remains arduous and arduous” is completely correct. Anti-corruption is a major struggle that cannot afford to lose and must not lose. It cannot stop for a moment or retreat even half a step. We must maintain a high-pressure posture unswervingly, insist that corruption must be countered, corruption must be eradicated, and evil must be eradicated, so that corrupt elements have no place to hide. It is necessary to continuously improve anti-corruption penetration, grasp new trends and characteristics of corruption, innovate methods and methods, and further promptly discover, accurately identify, and effectively manage various corruption problems.
We must make greater efforts to promote the dare not be corrupted, cannot be corrupted, and do not want to be corrupted, strengthen the concept of the system, achieve simultaneous, same direction, and comprehensive efforts, further improve the anti-corruption working mechanism, coordinate and cooperate in task deployment, resource allocation, work advancement, and effectiveness assessment, supervise all aspects, and promote integrated governance through full-chain collaboration.

(Chengdu Daily) B[Li Qiang attended the symposium "70 Years of Cantonese Diplomacy in the World"] Premier Li Qiang of the State Council attended the "70 Years of Cantonese Diplomacy in the World" symposium in Guangzhou on the morning of October 14.
After listening to the speeches of representatives of overseas buyers and exhibitors at the meeting, Li Qiang said that since the Canton Fair was held for 70 years, it has continued to grow and develop along with China's opening up and development. It has not only become a bright business card for China's opening up to the outside world, but also an important window for the world to observe China. The Canton Fair is one of the rare, convenient and efficient one-stop trading platforms in the world that has a complete range of categories. It also brings together the latest products and technologies. It has not only become a big stage for traditional goods trade, but also a benchmark for the development of new trade. The Canton Fair adheres to the purpose of "making connections with the world and benefiting the world for mutual benefit". It has not only become a link for Sino-foreign economic and trade cooperation, but also a bridge for enhancing understanding and friendship.
Li Qiang said that in recent years, the businesses of companies from various countries participating in the Canton Fair have become more diversified and are gradually upgrading to all-round partners. Three trends are particularly obvious, which can help companies make better use of the Canton Fair platform and better grasp China's development opportunities. First, upgrading from a trading partner to an innovation partner can better share the dividends of technological progress. China will continue to foster an open innovation ecosystem, strengthen the protection of foreign-related intellectual property rights, and actively address the concerns of enterprises. Second, upgrading from a trading partner to an investment partner can expand more incremental market space. China will continue to optimize the foreign investment environment, expand market access, and support localized production by foreign companies. Third, upgrading from trading partners to production and supply chain partners can effectively enhance risk prevention and impact resistance. China will accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system and promote the planning and construction of new power grids, computing power networks, and new generation communication networks. We welcome companies from all over the world to invest more in China, delve deeper into the Chinese market, strengthen mutually beneficial and pragmatic cooperation in production and supply chains, and promote the construction of an open and inclusive global production and supply chain.
It is hoped that Chinese and foreign companies will actively promote the docking of global supply and demand, lead international innovation cooperation, tell mutually beneficial and win-win stories, and contribute more to world economic and trade cooperation.
Li Qiang pointed out that standing at the new starting point of the 70th anniversary, the "golden brand" of the Canton Fair must be polished even brighter. Create a "Smart Canton Fair" and develop more new scenarios and new tracks to make the Canton Fair more "digital and intelligent". Create a "Green Canton Fair", launch more green products and exhibition areas, promote green trade, and contribute to the global green transformation. Create a "Humanities Canton Fair" to highlight the humanistic elements of the exhibition, promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations of various countries, and deepen mutual understanding and friendship.
About 70 business people from nearly 30 countries and regions attended the symposium. Business representatives spoke and said that over the past 70 years, companies from all over the world have grown together with the Canton Fair. At present, the global production and supply chain is deeply restructured, and the competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry is increasing day by day, making an important contribution to promoting the development of the world economy. The Canton Fair is the most trustworthy global business platform. The Chinese government continues to implement precise policies to optimize the business environment and help companies from all over the world achieve leapfrog development. Foreign representatives said that the Canton Fair empowers Chinese and foreign companies. We are full of confidence in China's development prospects and are willing to work with China to share innovation, promote mutual growth, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
