Chinese universities are accelerating efforts to integrate education with artificial intelligence, with more AI colleges opening to cultivate interdisciplinary talent and more general AI courses and textbooks introduced.

中国高校正加速推进教育与人工智能融合，通过成立更多的人工智能学院来培养复合型人才，并引入更多的人工智能通识课程和教材。

Tsinghua University, one of China's top schools, recently announced it will increase its undergraduate admissions by about 150 students this year and establish a new undergraduate college for general AI education. The students will enroll in the new program, which aims to integrate AI across multiple disciplines.

近日，清华大学作为中国顶尖学府之一，宣布2025年将增加约150名本科生招生名额，并成立新的本科书院发展人工智能通识教育。新增本科生将进入新成立的书院学习。该项目旨在将人工智能与多学科交叉融合。

The initiative pools academic resources from various fields, seeking to develop students with a solid foundation in AI, high proficiency in AI technologies and strong innovative capabilities, the university said. The move is part of Tsinghua's efforts to advance AI-related professional training and support China's push for high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening, according to Xinhua News Agency.

清华大学表示，这一项目汇聚各领域的学术资源，将培养具有深厚人工智能素养、熟练掌握人工智能技术、具备突出创新能力的学生。据新华社报道，清华正深入推进人工智能相关专业人才培养，以期为中国高水平科技自立自强提供有力支撑，该项目就是其中的一部分。

As AI rapidly evolves, reshaping education and driving socioeconomic development, the need for individuals with comprehensive AI knowledge and skills is becoming increasingly urgent.

人工智能的快速发展正在重塑教育、推动社会经济发展，对具备综合人工智能知识技能的人才的需求越来越迫切。

Wang Xuenan, deputy director at the Digital Education Research Institute of the China National Academy of Educational Sciences, told China Central Television the number of students majoring in AI was estimated at more than 40,000 last year, yet "the number still falls far short of the needs of the industry."

中国教育科学研究院数字教育研究所副所长王学男在接受中央电视台采访时表示，2024年人工智能专业的学生大概是4万多人，但“这一数字仍远远不能满足行业的需求”。

Market consultancy McKinsey& Company estimates that China will need 6 million professionals with proficient AI knowledge by 2030.

市场咨询公司麦肯锡估计，到2030年，中国对人工智能专业人才的需求预计将达到600万。

In November 2023, a talent training initiative on collaborative research in general AI was jointly launched by the Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence, Peking University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and 13 other leading universities. Zhu Songchun, director of the Beijing institute and dean of the School of Intelligent Science and Technology at Peking University, told Guangming Daily that the plan will leverage the resources of these universities to create a training system that seamlessly connects undergraduate and doctoral education.

2023年11月，北京通用人工智能研究院、北京大学、上海交通大学及其他13所顶尖高校共同启动“通用人工智能协同攻关合作体人才培养计划”。北京通用人工智能研究院、北京大学智能学院院长朱松纯告诉《光明日报》，该计划将利用这些高校的资源，打造通用人工智能本博贯通的培养体系。

In September last year, Nankai University and Tianjin University introduced a general AI course through a massive open online course, or MOOC, targeting more than 100,000 undergraduates in Tianjin. The course covers AI's basic principles and history while exploring cutting-edge generative AI models and their applications in healthcare, intelligent manufacturing and autonomous driving, according to Xu Zhen, director of the department of higher education at the Tianjin Municipal Education Commission.

2024年9月，南开大学和天津大学通过大型开放在线课程平台慕课，推出了一门人工智能通识课程，面向天津10万余名本科生。天津市教育委员会高等教育处处长徐震表示，该课程涵盖人工智能的基本原理和发展历程，同时探讨生成式人工智能模型等前沿技术及其在医疗、智能制造、自动驾驶等领域的应用。

Zhejiang University announced in March that it will lead an upgrade of the "AI plus X" micro program in collaboration with Fudan University, Nanjing University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Science and Technology of China. The country's first micro program integrating AI with other disciplines, it aims to bridge technology with fields such as humanities, social sciences, agriculture, medicine and engineering.

3月，浙江大学宣布将联合复旦大学、南京大学、上海交通大学、中国科学技术大学，牵头升级“AI+X”微专业。这是全国首个将人工智能与其他学科相结合的微专业，旨在搭建技术与人文、社科、农业、医学、工程等领域的桥梁。

The president called for the education sector to play a pioneering and foundational role in achieving a virtuous cycle between technological innovation and homegrown talent development. 

The nation must work toward breakthroughs in fundamental and interdisciplinary research through targeted initiatives, build innovation platforms between universities, enterprises and local governments, and improve the efficiency of translating scientific breakthroughs into practical applications, he said.

 He emphasized the need to refine talent development mechanisms to better align with economic and social demand, enhancing the quality of domestically trained professionals. 

Xi also highlighted the need to carry out a national education digitalization strategy and build a lifelong learning society.According to a draft budget report submitted to the third session of the 14th National People's Congress, which opened on Wednesday, the central government plans to increase its educational spending by 5 percent this year to 174.44 billion yuan ($24 billion).

 Meanwhile, funding of 80.95 billion yuan, up 11.5 percent year-on-year, will go to scholarships and student aid programs for university and high school students, the report said. 

In his remarks, Xi also extended festive greetings to women of all ethnic groups and from all walks of life ahead of International Women's Day, which falls on Saturday.

China’s emphasis on developing new quality productive forces based on local conditions and accelerating the establishment of a modern industrial system will provide strong momentum for long-term economic growth while enhancing the resilience and competitiveness of its industrial and supply chains, national legislators, political advisers and experts said.

全国立法委员、政治顾问和专家表示，中国强调因地制宜发展新质生产力，加快建立现代产业体系，为长期经济增长提供强劲动力，同时增强产业链和供应链弹力和竞争力。

They called for efforts to boost enterprises’ independent innovation capabilities, achieve breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields and drive industrial upgrades by integrating cutting-edge digital technologies with the real economy.

President Xi Jinping underlined on Wednesday the need for Jiangsu province, one of China's economic powerhouses, to lead the integration of sci-tech and industrial innovation, the deepening of reform and high-level opening-up, and the nation's common prosperity drive.

The president, who represents Jiangsu as a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, told his fellow deputies from the province that the nation's economic powerhouses must take the lead as China strives to achieve its targets set out in the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25).

Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks in Beijing when he took part in a deliberation with his fellow lawmakers during the third session of the 14th NPC.

He spoke after six deputies shared their insights on issues such as accelerating green and low-carbon transformation and advancing industrial and technological innovation.

He explained that sci-tech and industrial innovation is the fundamental pathway for the development of new quality productive forces—featuring high technology, high efficiency and high quality, and aligning with the country's new development philosophy.

The president highlighted the need to advance education, science and talent development in tandem—both to generate more technological breakthroughs and to transform them into tangible productive forces.

In driving industrial innovation, the nation must anchor its efforts in the real economy, balancing the upgrade of traditional industries with the cultivation of strategic emerging sectors and future industries, he said, adding that the role of enterprises as key drivers of innovation must be bolstered to ensure a seamless connection between innovation and industry.

Jiangsu's GDP grew 5.8 percent year-on-year to 13.7 trillion yuan ($1.89 trillion) in 2024, registering the greatest increase in GDP volume in the nation last year, according to the provincial government.

The province must take the lead in deepening reform and opening-up and keep removing obstacles and boosting momentum, Xi said.

He urged the province to promote urban-rural integration and regional coordination, optimize the layout of productive forces, and focus on driving high-quality development.

A level playing field must be offered to businesses of various ownership types, and continuous efforts must be made to improve the business environment, Xi said, adding that the province must expand institutional opening-up and keep expanding the room for international cooperation.

The president encouraged Jiangsu to play a proactive role in the nation's major strategies, including the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta and the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, adding that it is important for the province to step up its alignment with strategies such as the coordinated development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

He also highlighted the need for the region to better integrate itself into the high-quality building of the Belt and Road, guarantee that its farmland will not fall below the red line, ensure food security and protect its ecology and environment.

Xi then made the case for the nation's major economic powerhouses to lead the way in the common prosperity drive. Jiangsu, with a population of 85.26 million in 2023, should make solid steps in advancing comprehensive rural vitalization, urban-rural integration and consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation, he said.

China targets an economic growth rate of around 5 percent in 2025, according to a government work report submitted Wednesday to the national legislature for deliberation.

3月5日，国务院总理李强作政府工作报告，提交给全国人大审议。报告指出，2025年中国经济增长目标设定为5%左右。

The report also outlines an array of other key development goals for this year, including a surveyed urban unemployment rate of around 5.5 percent, over 12 million new urban jobs, and an around 2 percent increase in the consumer price index.

报告还概述了今年一系列其他关键发展目标，包括城镇调查失业率5.5%左右、城镇新增就业1200万人以上、居民消费价格涨幅2%左右。

The country achieved economic growth of 5 percent in 2024 as an impactful policy package, along with other pro-growth measures, helped fuel strong economic momentum.

2024年，在一系列有力政策组合及其他促增长措施的推动下，中国实现了5%的经济增长，展现出强劲的经济势头。

On a global scale, an around 5 percent growth rate places China among the world's fastest-growing major economies, with the economic increment equating to the annual output of a mid-sized nation.

从全球范围来看，5%左右的增长率让中国跻身世界增长最快的主要经济体之列，其经济增量相当于一个中等规模国家一年的产出。

Huang Qunhui, a national political advisor from the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, described this year's economic growth target as scientifically grounded and realistic.

全国政协委员、中国社会科学院经济研究所研究员黄群慧表示，今年的经济增长目标科学合理、切实可行。

"In the face of a challenging global environment, the proactive and resilient goal suggests that China is braving uncertainties with a clear, determined approach to growth," he said.

他说：“在全球环境充满挑战的背景下，这一积极且富有韧性的目标表明，中国正以清晰坚定的态度应对不确定性、推动经济增长。”

As 2025 marks the final year of China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) period and is also crucial to crafting the next five-year blueprint, observers believe that the government policies will not only drive sustained growth this year but also lay the groundwork for the country's modernization drive in the long run.

2025年是中国“十四五”规划（2021-2025年）的最后一年，也是制定下一个五年计划的关键时期。观察人士认为，政府政策不仅将推动今年经济持续增长，还将为国家的长期现代化进程奠定基础。

Fostering high-quality development is a key focus on this year's government agenda, with priorities ranging from stimulating domestic demand to developing new quality productive forces.

今年政府工作议程的重点是推动高质量发展，工作重心包括刺激内需、发展新质生产力。

"We will take a people-centered approach and place a stronger economic policy focus on improving living standards and boosting consumer spending," the report said.

报告指出：“我们将坚持以人民为中心，经济政策的着力点更多转向惠民生、促消费。”

Domestic demand will be made the main engine and anchor of economic growth, the report said. Ultra-long special treasury bonds totaling 300 billion yuan will be issued to support consumer goods trade-in programs.

报告表示，要让内需成为拉动经济增长的主动力和稳定锚。安排超长期特别国债3000亿元，支持消费品以旧换新。

New quality productive forces will be nurtured in light of local conditions, according to the report. China aims to foster emerging and future industries, such as quantum technology and the low-altitude economy, accelerate the upgrading of traditional industries, and combine digital technologies including AI with manufacturing and market strengths. 

报告提出，将因地制宜发展新质生产力。中国将培育量子技术、低空经济等新兴未来产业，加快传统产业改造升级，并将人工智能等数字技术与制造业和市场优势相结合。

Tech advancement can transform industries, foster new sectors, Xiaomi's Lei Jun says

Technological advancement plays a critical role in transforming traditional industries and fostering emerging sectors, and Xiaomi Corp will continue to innovate so as to contribute to China's path to modernization, said Lei Jun, deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature.

全国人大代表雷军表示，科技进步在传统行业转型、培育新兴领域过程中发挥着关键作用，小米集团将继续走科技创新的道路，为推进中国式现代化贡献自己的力量。

Lei, CEO and chairman of Xiaomi Corp, said at the sidelines of the ongoing two sessions on Wednesday that "Over the past 15 years, Xiaomi has deeply understood that technological innovation is the cornerstone of progress."

3月5日，小米集团董事长兼首席执行官雷军在两会会场表示：“过去15年来，小米深刻体会到，科技创新是进步的基石。”

"Five years ago, we committed to investing heavily in core technologies, setting a goal to spend 100 billion yuan ($13.8 billion) on research and development. Today, we have exceeded that target, investing about 105 billion yuan."

“5年前，我们就下决心加大核心技术投资力度，设定了1000亿元人民币（138亿美元）的研发投资目标。如今，我们已超额完成这一目标，投资总额约达1050亿元人民币。”

Lei highlighted two major achievements underpinned by Xiaomi's innovation strategy. First, Xiaomi has maintained its position among the top three global smartphone manufacturers for 18 consecutive quarters. Additionally, its smart home internet of things platform, developed in collaboration with partners, now connects over 900 million devices, making it the largest consumer IoT platform globally.

雷军强调了小米创新战略取得的两大成就。首先，小米已经连续18个季度稳居全球智能手机制造商前三名。此外，小米与合作伙伴共同开发的智能家居物联网平台现已连接9亿多台设备，成为全球最大的消费级物联网平台。

"This reflects the growing global recognition of Chinese technology products and brands," Lei noted.

雷军指出：“这表明全球用户越来越认可中国的技术产品和品牌。”

Second, Xiaomi entered the new energy vehicle (NEV) sector four years ago, launching its first car in March 2024. Despite being a newcomer, Xiaomi delivered 135,000 vehicles within just nine months, earning strong consumer approval. Lei attributed this success to breakthroughs like the Xiaomi Super Motor V8S, the world's highest-performance mass-produced drive motor, entirely self-developed and manufactured by Xiaomi.

其次，小米在4年前进入新能源汽车（NEV）领域，并于2024年3月发布了首款汽车。作为汽车产业的新人，小米在短短9个月内就交付了13.5万辆汽车，受到了广大用户的好评。雷军将这一成功归因于小米的突破性成果，如小米超级电机V8S，这款已量产的驱动电机完全由小米自主研发和生产，拥有全球最强大的性能。

Lei also expressed gratitude to Beijing, calling it a "fertile ground" for Xiaomi's growth. He reaffirmed Xiaomi's commitment to innovation and high-end development, stating, "Manufacturing is the foundation of China's strength. As both a builder and beneficiary of this sector, Xiaomi will continue to innovate, integrate cutting-edge AI technologies into our products, and contribute to China's path to modernization while enhancing consumers' lives through technology."

雷军还对北京表示感谢，称北京是小米成长的“沃土”。他重申小米对科技创新和高端发展的承诺，表示：“制造业是中国强国之基。小米作为这一领域的建设者和受益者，将继续坚持走科技创新的道路，将先进的人工智能技术应用于我们的产品，为推进中国式现代化贡献自己的力量，并通过科技提升消费者的生活品质。”

China will take resolute countermeasures to firmly safeguard its rights and interests after the United States announced that it will impose an additional 10 percent tariff on Chinese exports to the US, starting Tuesday, under the pretext of fentanyl-related concerns, according to the Ministry of Commerce.

据商务部消息，美国以芬太尼等问题为由，宣布从周二起对中国输美商品加征10%的关税，中国将果断采取反制措施，坚决维护自身权益。

China is one of the world's strictest and most thorough enforcers of anti-narcotics policies. China and the US have engaged in extensive and in-depth cooperation on drug control, achieving significant results, said a ministry spokesperson in an online statement on Tuesday.
中国是世界上执行禁毒政策最严格、最彻底的国家之一。中国禁毒部发言人周二在一份在线声明中表示，中美两国在禁毒领域开展了广泛深入的合作，取得了显著成果。

However, the US has repeatedly shirked its responsibilities and made the same mistakes again by using the fentanyl issue as a pretext to impose additional tariffs on Chinese exports, said the commerce official.
然而，美国一再推卸责任，重蹈覆辙，以芬太尼问题为借口对中国出口商品征收额外关税。

The statement said this move disregards facts, ignores international trade rules and global concerns, and exemplifies unilateralism and bullying.
声明表示，此举漠视事实，无视国际贸易规则和全球关切，是单边主义和恃强凌弱的例证。

China urges the US to respect the rights and interests of other countries, immediately withdraw the unreasonable and unjustified unilateral tariff measures, and recognize that such actions are harmful to both sides, said the spokesperson, calling on the US to adopt an objective and rational approach to resolving issues and to swiftly return to the right path of addressing differences through equal dialogue.

发言人表示，中方敦促美方尊重他国权益，立即撤销不合理、不正当的单边关税措施，并认识到这种行为对双方都是有害的，呼吁美方以客观理性的态度解决问题，迅速回到通过平等对话解决分歧的正轨上来。
