\n

Following China and the United States' recent agreement to further extend the pause on tariff increases, US soybean industry representatives expressed their eagerness to see the resumption of soybean trade with China to continue the two countries' soybean trade partnership.

\n

"Unfortunately, right now, our farmers and exporters are being disadvantaged," said Jim Sutter, CEO of the US Soybean Export Council. He praised the cooperation between Chinese partners and US soybean farmers and exporters, which used to be a win-win deal, but said today's situation is a "lose-lose".

\n

China's share of US soybean exports fell to 44.6 percent last year, down from its peak of 62.4 percent in 2011, according to data from the US Department of Agriculture and China's General Administration of Customs.

\n

This year, the US has significantly increased tariffs on imports from many of its trading partners. In response, China has implemented measures to protect its interests, such as imposing higher tariffs on soybean imports from the US. Consequently, Chinese importers have turned to Brazilian soybean suppliers.

\n

Sutter said the current situation is very "disappointing" as US farmers are the "target" of this escalating trade tension.

\n

"When our farmers planted their soybeans in the springtime in April and May, they had every intention of being able to supply China. They believed that their No 1 customer would continue to be their No 1 customer.

\n

"But now, Chinese consumers are paying more, our farmers are selling for less," Sutter said.

\n

The USSEC, representing the entire US soy supply chain, has been working to attain market access for the use of US soy for human consumption, aquaculture and livestock feed in more than 80 countries worldwide. It has been working in China for 43 years, and in the past five to 10 years, USSEC has been making every effort to maintain the long-standing China-US soybean trade.

\n

Commenting on the potential recovery of the China-US trade deal, Sutter said: "I just can't imagine that we will never trade again. So I think it's important that we continue to do our work and build these relations, maintain them and build them for the future."

\n

Greater China Regional Director of USSEC Zhang Xiaoping emphasized the mutual benefits of China-US trade. "The complementarity of the two nations in the agricultural sector is too strong. The US has rich agricultural resources while China has a huge market."

\n

"Soybeans have been regarded as the most cost-effective protein ingredient in animal feed because of higher digestibility. Relying on its vast fertile land, US farmers can sustainably produce high-quality soybeans on a large scale to support the modernization of China's livestock, poultry, agriculture and food industries," Zhang said, adding that the high digestibility also means much lower waste, leading to positive effects on the environmentally friendly development of Chinese industries.

\n

A collaborative program between USSEC and its Henan provincial partners, focusing on a soybean innovation center, is advancing steadily with three main initiatives — innovative solution training, demonstration and promotion.

\n

Back in early 1990s, USSEC began to introduce practical solutions to help upgrade the Chinese industry. In recent years, USSEC introduced an In-Pond Raceway System with multiple benefits.

\n

Based on practices from US farms, USSEC created the Soy Sustainability Assurance Protocol, which pledges to issue a sustainability certificate on each individual shipment out of the US for free. "This can be interpreted as support for China's achievement in sustainable food security, as the effort can make soy-related foods more affordable," Zhang said.

\n

Normally, October is the main season for US soybeans being shipped to China. "We had pretty good shipments to China last year and we haven't really missed any shipping seasons yet. We are looking forward to being able to ship our soybeans to China very soon," Sutter said.

At the 14th China Intellectual Property Annual Conference, the focus on IP's role in driving high-quality economic growth provided a platform for companies to share practical experiences in developing effective IP strategies.

\n

Xiaomi Corporation, a prominent player in the global tech industry, for example, has long stressed that building a sustainable, IP-driven economic ecosystem demands collective efforts from all enterprises. To this end, Xiaomi has established a robust IP system that underpins its business expansion and technological innovation.

\n

Liu Zhen, vice-president of legal and international government affairs at Xiaomi, emphasized the company's long-term commitment to IP management.

\n

To support its comprehensive "Human x Car x Home" smart ecosystem strategy, Liu said that Xiaomi has integrated IP nodes into the research and development process, involving IP engineers from project initiation to conducting risk assessments and patent portfolio planning.

\n

This approach not only reduces infringement risks but also builds technical barriers through innovative designs, accelerating patent commercialization in core products such as smartphones, smart electric vehicles, and major home appliances to advance ecological synergy.

\n

In emerging sectors such as augmented and virtual reality and clean energy, Xiaomi adopts tailored IP strategies based on factors like technical maturity and R&D plans. Moreover, it balances "rapid tech iteration" and "early IP protection "through refined management.

\n

"We use Patent Cooperation Treaty applications to extend review cycles for patents, especially standard-essential patents, in slow-evolving fields, and adjust overseas patent portfolios according to local review timelines, ensuring IP protection keeps pace with tech advancements without hindering innovation speed," Liu said.

\n

In addressing international patent disputes, Xiaomi has developed a multidimensional response system, transitioning from "passive defense" to "proactive risk identification" with a comprehensive early warning system.

\n

When litigation arises, "we combine technical countermeasures, legal defenses, and business negotiations", Liu explained. This strategy was evident in its multiple successful patent dispute proceedings.

\n

Besides, Xiaomi places a strong emphasis on talent development. It has established specialized IP teams covering application, analysis, litigation, licensing and acquisition, supported by a talent gradient system that facilitates role rotation and career advancement. This ensures a closed-loop knowledge system from IP creation to litigation, strengthening the execution of its IP strategy.

\n

Notably, Xiaomi's robust IP framework and effective implementation are not overnight achievements, but rather rooted in its continuous investment in R&D. "Since its establishment in 2010, Xiaomi has continuously increased R&D investment in key technology areas," Liu noted.

\n

In 2024 alone, Xiaomi's R&D expenditure surpassed 24 billion yuan ($3.37 billion), with a compound annual growth rate of 27 percent over the past five years. "This has enabled us to build up solid technical capabilities across 12 technological fields and 99 sub-segments," he added.

\n

Xiaomi plans to invest over 200 billion yuan in R&D in the next five years. "We will continue to strengthen the protection of IP rights and innovation in these key business areas," Liu noted.

\n

Additionally, Xiaomi aims to enhance its influence in global IP rules, particularly in 5G SEPs, where it ranked eighth globally in effective patents in 2024, while continuing to invest heavily in next-generation mobile communication technologies.

\n

By advocating for win-win IP partnerships and technology accessibility, Xiaomi strives to contribute to a sustainable IP ecosystem that drives high-quality economic growth, according to the company.

\n

On the frozen surface of Lake Baikal, the horizon dissolves into an endless stretch of blue. More than a natural wonder, the world's largest and deepest freshwater lake has long symbolized the vastness of Russia itself. Against this striking backdrop, a heart-pounding action sequence unfolds in Red Silk, one of the most commercially successful Sino-Russian coproductions to date. A Chinese courier and a Soviet Red Army soldier race across the ice on a yacht, taking a perilous shortcut in pursuit of a speeding train.

\n

For actress Zheng Hanyi, who plays the Chinese messenger Wang Lin, filming the scene alongside Russian actor Gleb Kalyuzhnyy was unforgettable. The sheer scale of Lake Baikal, coupled with the icy wind, made every moment feel otherworldly.

\n

Seven months before its recent Chinese mainland release on Sept 6, the 146-minute movie premiered in Russia on Feb 20, raking in 689 million rubles ($8.24 million) at the local box office from 1.47 million moviegoers, placing it among the top 10 highest-grossing films in Russia this year.

\n

With this year marking the 76th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia, the film is one of the major projects within the framework of the China-Russia Years of Culture in 2024 and 2025, standing as a testament to the growing cinematic cooperation between the two countries.

\n

According to its producer, Vadim Byrkin, the creators researched the relationship between the two countries in the late 1920s, the period when the tale is set, and drew inspiration from several movies, including iconic director Zhang Yimou's espionage thriller Cliff Walkers. The production recruited an international crew of around 170 Russians and 300 Chinese, as well as hiring 1,200 extras for the large-scale scenes.

\n

The plot of Red Silk follows three Chinese couriers who board the Trans-Siberian Express in Shanghai on a mission to deliver secret documents to Moscow — papers that could alter the destiny of both nations.

\n

To ensure the documents' safety, a former Czarist agent and a young Red Army soldier are forced into an unlikely alliance. Their journey quickly turns into a deadly race for survival: they must fend off a band of ruthless train robbers and survive a poisonous gas leak, all while trying to uncover the mastermind behind the escalating conspiracy.

\n

Zheng's character, Wang, is one of the couriers, accompanied by Gao, the elderly leader, and Li Bo, who has carried a lifelong, unspoken love for her. Wang, however, begins to develop a bond with Kalyuzhnyy's soldier. For Zheng, a former stage musical performer, stepping into the role was both daunting and rewarding.

\n

Recalling that she was the only Chinese cast member on set for the filming of the Lake Baikal action scene, Zheng tells China Daily that she participated in a traditional ceremony to mark the start of the film's production. "The wind was so strong that day, we formed a circle, held hands, and smashed a plate together — one engraved with the movie's title Red Silk. Everyone was so tall and held onto me tightly, worried I might be blown away. It was a really fun experience," she says.

\n

"Interestingly, although I felt nervous throughout the entire shoot, all my anxiety vanished once we were on the lake. My focus shifted entirely to staying warm and keeping out the cold," Zheng adds.

\n

Andrey Volgin, the film's Russian director who's also known for Dance to Death, explains the meaning of the title: red symbolizes love and victory, while also representing the Silk Road — together forming a direct association with China. A key element in the film is that the character Wang wears a red silk scarf with hollowed-out patterns that are essential for decoding the secret documents.

\n

The shoot itself tested the endurance of the cast and crew. They faced a staggering temperature swing: from — 42 C on the frozen expanse of Lake Baikal to more than 40 C at Hengdian World Studios in East China's Zhejiang province.

\n

Actor Milos Bikovic, who plays a former Czarist agent, describes the intense heat during an eight-hour shoot in Hengdian, saying that all four of his shirts became completely soaked.

\n

However, the harsh conditions did little to dampen his spirits, which were only strengthened by witnessing the dedication of his Chinese colleagues. For instance, in a scene where messengers must jump off a cliff to escape a group of ruthless bandits, actor Huang Haonan — who plays the Chinese messenger Li — persevered through injuries to complete the stunt.

\n

Zheng, terrified of the same stunt, eventually overcame her fear with the encouragement of her colleagues. "The producer was silently praying at the foot of the mountain, while my co-star kept making jokes to calm me down," she says. "It was the support of the entire team that gave me the courage to complete the shot."

\n

Fu Ruoqing, chairman of the China Film Group Corporation, says that Red Silk stands as a testament to the deepening cultural exchanges and friendship between China and Russia. He also emphasizes the role of film in bringing new vitality to cross-cultural dialogue.

\n

Producer Byrkin echoes the sentiment — that China and Russia share similarities in history — a fact that people from both countries can be proud of and one that should be shared with the world. Following the film's success, he has been contacted by other Chinese companies to discuss future collaborations.

\n

That future is already taking shape. Building on the momentum of Red Silk, a sequel titled Black Silk is in development. The new story will shift to the early 1930s, a period of mounting turbulence and war.

During peak lunch hour at a busy restaurant in Chengdu, Sichuan province, four chefs work in perfect unison, deftly churning out multiple dishes as flames leap from the woks. However, their expertise and execution are not only of interest to the customers waiting for the food, but also to over 50,000 viewers watching them live at work on Douyin, China's short-video platform.

\n

Luoxiaoyang Home-Style Cuisine, which opened its doors in June, has attracted more than 1.7 million followers on Douyin by livestreaming what goes on in its kitchen.

\n

Responding to increasing public concern about food safety, a number of restaurants nationwide have begun livestreaming their kitchen operations — a strategy aimed at both winning diners' trust and boosting visibility through online engagement. The cameras are pointed at the counters where food is prepared, capturing everything from raw ingredients to freshly prepared meals. This move toward greater transparency has garnered considerable praise and positive engagement from online viewers.

\n

The growing interest in "transparent kitchen" livestreams follows a heated online debate sparked by celebrity entrepreneur Luo Yonghao. Last week, Luo criticized domestic restaurant chain Xibei on China's popular social media platform Sina Weibo, alleging that many dishes were premade. His post went viral, prompting public discussion about food safety and kitchen transparency.

\n

Now kitchen livestreams are becoming popular, with viewers on social media platforms posting comments like: "This is how Chinese cooking should be done", and "This is what we call true wok hei (the distinct smoky flavor of stir-fried dishes)". The livestreams also appear to be influencing consumer habits.

\n

For example, Han Wen, a university student in Beijing, said the recent online debate has made him more cautious when ordering food online.

\n

"I only recently started noticing the 'transparent kitchen' feature on apps," he said. "I now look to see if the kitchen is neat and clean before placing an order."

\n

Kitchen livestreams are not exactly new. In March, the State Council, China's Cabinet, issued a guideline strengthening food safety supervision, urging platforms and merchants to implement "internet plus transparent kitchen "initiatives and enhance oversight on delivery-only restaurants through public monitoring.

\n

Sun Juanjuan, an associate professor at Hebei Agricultural University and researcher at the Center for Coordination and Innovation of Food Safety Governance, said, "Food safety regulators have actively promoted the 'transparent kitchens' policy in recent years."

\n

"It includes both physical transparency — visible kitchen areas — and digital monitoring via livestreams. As customers have begun focusing on how the food is being prepared, restaurants have shifted focus from price wars to hygiene standards," Sun said.

\n

In recent years, several regions have introduced rules requiring online food delivery businesses to livestream their kitchen operations.

\n

In Zhejiang province, takeaway merchants have been legally obligated to display real-time videos of food being prepared on delivery apps since March 2022.

\n

Shanghai introduced similar regulations in February 2024, encouraging restaurants to adopt "internet plus transparent kitchen" practices and upload footage to their third-party platforms for public oversight, while Changzhou in Jiangsu province followed suit a month later.

\n

To create an immersive viewing experience, some chefs are strapping action cameras to their chests, livestreaming the cooking process from a first-person perspective.

\n

"If customers want to see the kitchen, then we'll just show it," said a chef at Xiaochao Dangjia, a restaurant in Wuhan, Hubei province. The restaurant recently joined the kitchen livestreaming club, as the owners believe that this helps build consumers' trust.

\n

However, some industry insiders worry that the livestreams could become mere "performances".

\n

Zhong Kai, a food safety expert from the China Food Information Center, said the actual impact of livestreaming on food safety supervision might be more about deterrence than regulation.

\n

"Issues such as pesticide residues or cross-contamination are hard to catch via livestreams. Most food safety incidents that have been exposed have been due to snapshots of chefs not wearing masks or hats, or catching glimpses of rats in kitchens," he said.

\n

However, Sun, from Hebei Agricultural University, said: "Implementing 'transparent kitchen' measures in the mass catering sector has always been a regulatory challenge. Now, with public enthusiasm and demand, it can help accelerate implementation across various regions."
