This week on Weekly China Recap, we zoom in on a bold new move by Hong Kong to reclaim its place as China’s global launchpad: the launch of the “GoGlobal Task Force.” 

Backed by senior Hong Kong officials and institutions like InvestHK and the Trade Development Council, this initiative aims to make Hong Kong the premier gateway for Mainland Chinese companies expanding into Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.

Zheming breaks down:

• Why Hong Kong is racing to compete with Shanghai and Singapore in the globalization game
• What the Task Force actually offers (hint: banking, tax, ESG, and legal support)
• And the critical questions that still remain: talent, cost, and clarity of execution

With rising geopolitical tensions and growing global ambition from Chinese companies, this institutional push matters. Will Hong Kong deliver?

This week, we spotlight a quiet but significant shift in China’s talent strategy: the introduction of the new K visa, aimed at attracting young, international STEM talent. 

What does this tell us about China’s changing immigration posture? How does it compare to the US tightening its H-1B program? And what signals does it send to the world about China’s innovation ambition and talent competition?

Host Xing Zheming breaks down what the new visa means, why it matters, and what questions remain unanswered—especially for China’s own youth and global watchers alike.

This isn’t just a visa—it’s a strategic move in the global race for innovation leadership. As China adjusts its approach to global talent mobility, it’s worth watching closely.

This week, we unpack two major developments that spotlight China’s long-term planning in the face of global uncertainty.

At the UN Climate Ambition Summit, China announced China’s updated 2035 climate goals — including a 7–10% emissions reduction from peak, over 30% non-fossil energy consumption, and a wind/solar capacity target of 3.6 billion kilowatts. It’s a powerful message that decarbonization remains at the heart of China’s development strategy — not just for the planet, but for the 1.4 billion people living here.

In trade logistics, China launched the world’s first regular Arctic shipping route connecting Ningbo-Zhoushan Port to the UK — bypassing traditional chokepoints and reducing the trip to just 18 days. The move comes as overland rail links face disruption, marking a strategic shift toward de-risking and greener, faster trade flows.

 As the world debates retreat and decoupling, China is doubling down on long-term transformation. These aren’t just headlines — they’re signs of deeper momentum.

In this week’s Weekly China Recap with Xing Zheming, we connect the dots across five major updates that shed light on China’s evolving priorities. 

From the first major overhaul of the Arbitration Law in 30 years, to a nationwide push to boost service consumption, to a massive investment plan in energy storage — Beijing is signaling how it intends to navigate growth, resilience, and reform.

We also look at China’s first National Parks Law, aimed at protecting biodiversity, and the rising challenge of youth unemployment, now at record levels. Together, these stories highlight the complexities of China’s economic and social trajectory: ambition on one hand, deep-rooted challenges on the other.

For international observers, the lesson is clear — understanding China requires nuance. Each policy tells part of the story, but the real picture emerges only when we connect the dots.

Tune in to stay informed, stay sharp, and see beyond the headlines.

This week on Weekly China Recap with Xing Zheming, we take a closer look at China’s move to revise its Foreign Trade Law—the first foundational overhaul in years.

The law, first enacted in 1994, has been revised before, but this time the stakes are much higher. China remains the world’s largest trader, yet global headwinds are mounting: protectionism, sanctions, supply chain shifts, and growing frictions not only with the United States but also with Europe and beyond.

The draft revision goes beyond updating rules—it institutionalizes reforms in digital trade, green trade, and new business models, while also introducing sharper defensive tools such as legalized countermeasures against sanctions and trade restrictions.

For China, this is not just about trade—it’s about building resilience in a turbulent geopolitical landscape, while keeping the door open to global markets.

Tune in to understand how Beijing is rewriting the rules of engagement for the next phase of global trade.

This week, we take you to Tianjin, where the largest-ever Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit has just concluded. The gathering brought together leaders from across Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East — representing nearly half the world’s population — and delivered eight major outcomes, from launching an SCO Development Bank to setting up new cooperation platforms in green industry, digital economy, and security.

Far from being just symbolic, these moves signal China’s ambition to position the SCO as a serious platform for global governance outside the Western-led order. They also highlight Tianjin’s comeback as a hub for China’s outward-facing development model.

At a time when tariffs, trade wars, and geopolitical rivalries dominate headlines, China is offering a different script — building institutions, creating cross-border financing tools, and promoting inclusivity over confrontation. The SCO summit may not have the hard treaties critics demand, but its framework of long-term cooperation marks another step in Beijing’s effort to reshape how the Global South engages with the world.

Listen in as Xing Zheming unpacks what this summit means for China, for its neighbors, and for the global order in flux.

This week on Weekly China Recap, Xing Zheming takes you into China’s cultural economy — where a policy shift is reshaping the country’s film and television industry.

The release of the “Radio and Television 21 Measures” marks a major reform in Chinese TV regulation in over a decade. From lifting the episode cap to fast-tracking approvals and opening doors to global IP adaptations, the move signals Beijing’s attempt to breathe new life into a sector long constrained by heavy oversight.

But this isn’t just about TV. From booming summer box office numbers to football fever in Jiangsu, culture is driving consumer spending and reenergizing the services sector. Still, the critical question remains: will loosening restrictions be enough if the deeper tension between audience demand and government messaging is left unresolved?

Tune in for insights on why this policy shift matters — for China’s storytellers, its economy, and its global image.

China is placing a bold new bet on its economy — not through mega infrastructure projects, but through your wallet.

Starting September 1st, a dual interest subsidy will directly reduce the cost of personal consumption loans and support service-sector businesses, in a first-of-its-kind move linking fiscal policy to everyday spending.

From home renovations to eldercare services, this policy aims to activate consumers and strengthen the small businesses that serve them — creating a two-way boost for demand and supply.

In this week’s Weekly China Recap, I break down how the program works, why it marks a structural shift in China’s stimulus strategy, and what it signals for the country’s economic direction.
