"description": "<div></div><p> Hong Kong's economy demonstrated strong resilience in the second quarter of this year, marking the tenth consecutive quarter of positive growth, with experts anticipating the upward trajectory to persist well into the second half and positioning the city to meet the Special Administrative Region's projected growth target.</p>\n<p> The SAR's gross domestic product increased by 3.1 percent in real terms year-on-year in the second quarter, according to the Census and Statistics Department.</p>\n<p> On a seasonally adjusted quarterly basis, GDP expanded by 0.4 percent in real terms compared to the first quarter.</p>\n<p> "This pattern of growth, even in a challenging external environment, highlights Hong Kong's economic resilience — anchored in its open market structure, sound financial infrastructure, and strategic role in connecting the Chinese mainland with the outside world," said Edward Au Chunhing, southern region managing partner of Deloitte China.</p>\n<p> Au said the robust rebound in exports is "the most significant contributor" to the remarkable economic growth in the second quarter, driven by "rushed shipments" by traders ahead of anticipated tariff policy changes in the United States, alongside Hong Kong's deepening trade ties with the Chinese mainland and other Asian markets.</p>\n<p> Tang Heiwai, associate dean of the University of Hong Kong's business school, said, apart from exports, another significant driver has been the robust financial sector.</p>\n<p> According to government data, this sector — a major component of the city's economy — directly contributed nearly 25 percent to Hong Kong's GDP in 2023.</p>\n<p> Tang highlighted a few favorable circumstances boosting the local stock market, including encouragement by the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, to expand the southbound investment channel, and international capital inflows prompted by concerns over US tariff policies.</p>\n<p> He further pointed out that these dynamics have benefited several other industries, especially business services, thereby improving the overall market condition.</p>\n<p> Tang forecasts Hong Kong's financial sector to propel economic growth in the second half as well, buoyed by the substantial pipeline of enterprises preparing to list on the stock market.</p>\n<p> He said the overall yearly growth will align with the SAR government's target range of between 2 percent and 3 percent. In June, Carlson Tong Ka-shing, chairman of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, said the market had 190 businesses waiting to list in the city.</p>\n<p> "With the boost from exports and the financial industry, the two pillars of Hong Kong's economy, I expect the annual growth will approach or even surpass 3 percent. I remain optimistic about the short-term economic growth," Tang said.</p>\n<p> However, Au cautioned about the risk of an export slowdown, noting that despite a solid recovery, Hong Kong's economy may encounter challenges in the second half and well into 2026.</p>\n<p> "The recent export boost from front-loaded shipments may not be sustained, especially amid rising global trade tensions and the potential impact of new US tariffs on major markets," Au explained.</p>\n<p> Despite geopolitical tensions, Billy Mak Sui-choi, associate professor in the department of accountancy, economics and finance at Hong Kong Baptist University, remains optimistic that the export momentum will be sustained in the third quarter, if the United States continues to postpone tariff moves against China.</p>\n<p> He pointed out that August and September are peak shipment months to Western countries ahead of holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, which will typically bolster the export and transshipment volumes.</p>\n<p> Meanwhile, an improved tourism sector and stabilizing retail market, coupled with a growing influx of overseas tourists, are expected to boost the broader economy, he added.</p>\n<p> Mak said he is "cautiously optimistic" about economic growth in the coming months, while emphasizing the necessity of creating new growth points.</p>\n<p> <span>gabylin@chinadailyhk.com</span></p>\n<p></p><br><hr><div>获取更多RSS：<br><a href=\"https://feedx.net\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.net</a> <br><a href=\"https://feedx.site\" style=\"color:orange\" target=\"_blank\">https://feedx.site</a><br></div>",

Today, it has become a popular cultural destination to millions of visitors.</p>\n<p> The village features Zhou's renovated former residence, a museum of signed works by contemporary Chinese writers, and 22 reading rooms converted from village homes and operated by local residents. The reading rooms honor various writers, publishers and genres with artifacts and copies of their works. They are popular with both residents and visitors.</p>\n<p> Participants described the visit as an experience that brought literature to life.</p>\n<p> "I felt I was stepping into the pages of novels I had read years ago," said Ana Jovanovic, a Serbian scholar who started reading Chinese literature at 15 and was captivated by depictions of rural life. "The surroundings in Qingxi resembled the landscapes I had imagined while reading the books."</p>\n<p> During their journey, the Sinologists contributed signed translated editions of Chinese literary works to the newly launched Literary Shelf of Global Sinologists initiative in Qingxi. It adds to Qingxi's growing reputation as a literary village with international ties.</p>\n<p> Zombory Klara, a Hungarian scholar, donated a 1951 Hungarian edition of Zhou's Baofeng Zhouyu (Mighty Storm), published in Budapest.</p>\n<p> A recipient of the Special Book Award of China, she has spent over two decades studying and translating Chinese literature, including Mo Yan's Frog and Yu Hua's To Live.</p>\n<p> According to Klara, waves of Chinese-to-Hungarian literary translations began in the 1950s, when the first Hungarian exchange students arrived in China and learned about the country. Her teacher was among them and fostered cultural exchanges between the two countries.</p>\n<p> At a roundtable held at Yuelu Academy — one of China's oldest and most prestigious institutions of higher education in Hunan province — the scholars shared their insights into how local literature can transcend borders.</p>\n<p> Hunan's literary spirit traces its roots from both ancient thinkers and poets to modern reformers. Hunan's culture carries the essence of Confucian culture and integrates global wisdom, says Chinese scholar Tang Haoming.</p>\n<p> Spanish Sinologist Gabriel Garcia-Noblejas, a veteran translator of Chinese literature for three decades, highlighted the long-standing cultural ties between China and his country.</p>\n<p> "In 1650, Confucian classics were translated into Spanish and treasured by the emperor," he says.</p>\n<p> "I have been fascinated by Chinese culture since I was young," he says. "Through translation, I feel connected with people of other cultures."</p>\n<p> Chinese literature is thriving internationally through growing translation efforts, he adds.</p>\n<p> For some participants, the visit underscored how deeply rooted stories often carry universal truth.</p>\n<p> "Good literature is an art of empathy," says Egyptian Sinologist Ahmed Sayed, who holds a PhD in ethnology from China's Ningxia University.

Comedy performances are booming across the country, led by a new wave of stand-up comedians holding a mirror to society.</p>\n<p> On a cold winter night, Tang Xiangyu was cycling through the streets of Beijing, heading home after work. The winter chill had numbed her fingers, but her mind raced with ideas for new jokes. She couldn't ignore the sudden burst of inspiration.</p>\n<p> Despite the freezing temperatures, she stopped pedaling and pulled over. Her frozen hands struggled to take notes on her phone, but she was determined not to let the moment slip away.</p>\n<p> That spark of creativity in the middle of the frigid night was a turning point.</p>\n<p> At that moment, Tang realized comedy wasn't just something she was doing for fun. Her desire to make people laugh was so strong that she would put up with freezing hands just to capture a flicker of inspiration.</p>\n<p> Nearly four years later, she is one of the most popular stand-up comedians in China, touring the country and appearing in popular internet comedy shows.</p>\n<p> Stand-up comedy is gaining traction across China, a country where this particular art form is still relatively new.</p>\n<p> Major platforms, such as iQIYI and Tencent Video, have helped comedians like Tang bring their craft to millions, reaching a far wider audience than anyone had previously imagined.</p>\n<p> <b>Express yourself</b></p>\n<p> As China's younger generation embraces diverse global entertainment forms, comedy has become a vehicle for expressing individuality, challenging social norms, and poking fun at the pressure of modern life.</p>\n<p> "I remember the first time I got on stage and saw people in the crowd laughing," 31-year-old Tang recalled. "It wasn't just about the jokes anymore. It was about us, together, laughing at the things and experiences we have shared but never spoke about."</p>\n<p> Tang, who was born and raised in a rural area of Shandong province, graduated from a top Chinese university. She wrote articles for an online education platform, and was later promoted to manage online educational products.</p>\n<p> "I've always enjoyed creating and writing," Tang said. "I knew I had the ability to tell jokes and make my colleagues laugh. Even when I wrote stories about education, they always had a dash of humor."</p>\n<p> She had no idea what stand-up comedy was about until she attended a show in Beijing with friends.</p>\n<p> "What fascinated me was how performers could share funny yet insightful observations about the world without being offensive. It seemed like you could speak honestly, blending humor with social commentary, and make people laugh," Tang said. "That was the job I was dreaming about."</p>\n<p> On Dec 6, 2021, Tang made her debut as a stand-up comedian. The audience laughed along and she sensed a genuine connection with them. Her first taste of performing and being accepted was exhilarating.</p>\n<p> As she performed more open mics, however, she realized stand-up wasn't just about making people laugh — it was about sharing honest, personal stories. Her material began to explore societal pressures, the expectations placed on women, and the family dynamics she had always wanted to talk about.</p>\n<p> Her family didn't understand her desire to leave a stable career for something so uncertain. But for Tang, something inside her had changed — she was ready to take the leap.</p>\n<p> "It's an art form that allows you to speak your truth,"Line truncated

Her desire to make people laugh was so strong that she would put up with freezing hands just to capture a flicker of inspiration.</p>\n<p> Nearly four years later, she is one of the most popular stand-up comedians in China, touring the country and appearing in popular internet comedy shows.</p>\n<p> Stand-up comedy is gaining traction across China, a country where this particular art form is still relatively new.</p>\n<p> Major platforms, such as iQIYI and Tencent Video, have helped comedians like Tang bring their craft to millions, reaching a far wider audience than anyone had previously imagined.</p>\n<p> <b>Express yourself</b></p>\n<p> As China's younger generation embraces diverse global entertainment forms, comedy has become a vehicle for expressing individuality, challenging social norms, and poking fun at the pressure of modern life.</p>\n<p> "I remember the first time I got on stage and saw people in the crowd laughing," 31-year-old Tang recalled. "It wasn't just about the jokes anymore. It was about us, together, laughing at the things and experiences we have shared but never spoke about."</p>\n<p> Tang, who was born and raised in a rural area of Shandong province, graduated from a top Chinese university. She wrote articles for an online education platform, and was later promoted to manage online educational products.</p>\n<p> "I've always enjoyed creating and writing," Tang said. "I knew I had the ability to tell jokes and make my colleagues laugh. Even when I wrote stories about education, they always had a dash of humor."</p>\n<p> She had no idea what stand-up comedy was about until she attended a show in Beijing with friends.</p>\n<p> "What fascinated me was how performers could share funny yet insightful observations about the world without being offensive. It seemed like you could speak honestly, blending humor with social commentary, and make people laugh," Tang said. "That was the job I was dreaming about."</p>\n<p> On Dec 6, 2021, Tang made her debut as a stand-up comedian. The audience laughed along and she sensed a genuine connection with them. Her first taste of performing and being accepted was exhilarating.</p>\n<p> As she performed more open mics, however, she realized stand-up wasn't just about making people laugh — it was about sharing honest, personal stories. Her material began to explore societal pressures, the expectations placed on women, and the family dynamics she had always wanted to talk about.</p>\n<p> Her family didn't understand her desire to leave a stable career for something so uncertain. But for Tang, something inside her had changed — she was ready to take the leap.</p>\n<p> "It's an art form that allows you to speak your truth," shLine truncated

"description": "<div></div><p> Chinese cybersecurity company 360 Security Group unveiled its latest AI-powered security products on Wednesday, as it looks to improve cybersecurity operations for enterprises in the age of artificial intelligence.</p>\n<p> At its product launch and partner conference held in Beijing, the company introduced a suite of intelligent security agents and its updated full-stack security operations platform driven by AI. The offering reflects 360's sharpened focus on "security-as-a-service", aiming to meet rising enterprise demands amid accelerating digital transformation and increasingly sophisticated cyber threats in the AI era.</p>\n<p> "AI technology is profoundly transforming all sectors. Traditional internet products and business models will be completely reshaped," said Huang Jian, vice-president at 360 Security. "360 is going all-in on AI.We were among the first to invest in foundational large models and are deploying full-stack AI applications across consumer, business, government and small-to-medium-sized businesses."</p>\n<p> Built on 360 Security's proprietary AI large models, 360 Security brain, and over two decades of real-world security expertise, the company unveiled three categories of AI agents: security, management and enterprise services. These AI agents target core enterprise scenarios — safeguarding infrastructure, improving operational efficiency and streamlining office functions.</p>\n<p> The company said the security agent detects three times more threats than manual systems, with a tenfold improvement in speed and a 20 percent increase in accuracy. The management agent automates event-handling at triple the previous rate, enhances post-incident reporting efficiency by 72 times, and cuts document collation time by a factor of 13. Meanwhile, the enterprise service agent is designed for plug-and-play deployment in high-frequency business domains including HR, finance, legal and marketing.</p>\n<p> "These AI agents are transforming the way organizations operate, from security foundations to business efficiency," said Huang. "They help public and private entities realize AI upgrades, significantly reduce the need for security manpower, and drive up productivity and operational effectiveness."</p>\n<p> The newly launched platform is also designed to address what the company sees as key shortcomings in traditional cybersecurity approaches — high entry costs, reliance on hardware and passive, fragmented defenses that fail to fully meet the needs of the enterprise in the AI era.</p>\n<p> "As digital transformation continues to deepen, cybersecurity will evolve from 'buying equipment' to 'buying services and value'," said Huang.</p>\n<p> The company said the new platform offers an AI-driven, standardized and visualized SaaS solutions. It enables enterprise customers to access national-grade cybersecurity protection — including defense against external attacks and internal data leaks — without upfront investments in hardware or software.</p>\n<p> According to 360, 98 percent of security alerts can now be automatically handled by AI agents. The platform also integrates security experts who provide 24/7 remote operations, ensuring a closed-loop cloud-based security process.</p>\n<p> "Together with partners, we will continue to refine products around real customer needs," said Huang. "We believe in agile, win-win and long-term collaborations — and in seizing the decade-long opportunity ahead in the digital security market."</p>\n<p> The company's product launch comes as the booming AI sector is reshaping the country's cybersecurity landscape with both unprecedented opportunities and complex risks.</p>\n<p> In a resolution adopted at the third plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee in July last year, it was clearly stated that the country will strengthen cybersecurity and institute oversight systems to ensure the safety of AI.</p>\n<p> "AI is both a strategic opportunity and a disruptive challenge for cybersecurity," said Zhao Zhiguo, executive deputy director of the Expert Advisory Committee of the Internet Society of China.</p>\n<p> "AI amplifies threats, accelerates attacks and further deepens the asymmetry between attackers and defenders.</p>\n<p> "We must build a more flexible, intelligent and collaborative security system," Zhao said. "It's not just about breaking through, it's about reconstructing a new intelligent defense architecture."</p>\n<p> He offered three key recommendations: system-wide deployment of AI in cybersecurity infrastructure, scenario-driven innovation led by top firms, and a focus on real-world, battle-tested applications such as advanced threat detection and vulnerability analysis.
