2025-01-09
Exploring cutting-edge technology at ANTA Group's Jinjiang headquarters and sensing the Minnan spirit of "love to fight, win"; Visit the 30th anniversary achievement exhibition of the implementation of the "3820" strategic project to understand the development blueprint of Fuzhou's "building a modern international city"; Visiting the Quanzhou Overseas Transportation History Museum and excavating the splendid Maritime Silk Road culture of the "largest port in the East" during the Song and Yuan dynasties... Recently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs organized 19 ambassadors from Arab countries such as Lebanon, Mauritania, Jordan, Yemen, and the Arab League to visit and inspect Fuzhou, Xiamen, and Quanzhou in Fujian Province, focusing on themes such as new productivity, ecological civilization construction, and cultural exchange and mutual learning. They all expressed their expectation of deepening cooperation in various fields with China, strengthening people to people and cultural exchanges, and sharing the opportunities and achievements of Chinese path to modernization. Following the "new" path, feel the pulse of intelligent manufacturing in the vast mountains and rivers of Fujian. On the banks of Xixi River, the production line of Jiumu Kitchen and Bathroom Nan'an's "Black Lamp Factory" has achieved automated operation; On the coast of the East China Sea, the Jinlong United Automotive Industry Production Base is bustling with activity; At the foot of Baxian Mountain, Anta Group's Jinjiang headquarters' high-tech sports equipment new products are preparing to be exhibited overseas... During the company visit, Arab ambassadors to China felt that Fujian is vigorously implementing intelligent manufacturing and promoting the high-end development of the industry. How long does it take for a smart toilet to be assembled and taken offline? The answer is 6 seconds. Entering the "5G Intelligent Toilet Lighthouse Factory" of Nan'an Jiumu Group, the automated function islands are neatly arranged, and the workshop does not need to turn on lights or manual operations. The production process is both smooth and efficient. Why is the factory pitch black? Where is the light? How do workers work in the dark Mohammed, the third secretary of the Bahrain Embassy in China, frequently asked questions and took out his phone to take photos. Upon hearing the staff's response, he sighed and said, "It turns out that robots are working, and as long as the production line is set up, the robots' work does not require light. I have never imagined such a production scenario, it seems like a wonderful science fiction journey. China is vigorously promoting the digital and intelligent transformation of industrial production, and many experiences are worth learning from." How much does a pair of sports shoes weigh? The answer is lighter than two eggs, but it can hold up a hundred pounds. Arriving at the headquarters of ANTA Group in Jinjiang, in the over 3000 square meter corporate museum, high-tech sports products such as 360 degree anti cutting technology short track speed skating competition uniforms and "tonnage level" pressure resistant weightlifting shoes are dazzling. This is so shocking! My strongest feeling is that information technology is the key to unlocking the future. This enterprise, which used to be a supplier for well-known brands, is now constantly innovating independently. The functionality of some products exceeds that of international brands, attracting many international companies to come and cooperate and negotiate Libyan Ambassador to China, Faiig, said, "The innovation capability of Chinese sports equipment manufacturing enterprises continues to strengthen, and many high-tech products have been applied in important international sports competitions such as the Olympics, showing the charm of 'Made in China' to the world." How does a self driving bus work? The answer is that the car body is covered in sensors. In the factory area of Jinlong United Automotive Industry Co., Ltd. located in Jimei District, Xiamen, the autonomous driving bus "Apolong" demonstrates driving, parking, lane changing, and turning on site. The millimeter wave radar, cameras, perception systems, and other sensors on the body of the bus replace the driver's eyes, accurately identifying traffic lines, vehicles, and pedestrians on the road. The embassy in China enthusiastically test drove and took photos, inquiring about the bus's wire controlled chassis, fuel cells, intelligent networking and other equipment. More and more Chinese brand electric buses and cars can be seen driving on the streets and alleys of Cairo city and along the Nile River The Deputy Chief of the Egyptian Embassy in China, Haizam, said, "Today's visit left a deep impression on me about the digital workshop supported by advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data. Egypt also attaches great importance to the intelligent transformation of the industrial industry, especially in the field of electric vehicles, and hopes to further strengthen cooperation with China." Click "green" to turn gold, decode the wisdom of ecological governance walking on the land of Bamin, with lush greenery everywhere, looking up at the fresh blue and looking around the pleasant green. Data shows that Fujian Province has maintained the first national forest coverage rate for 45 consecutive years, accounting for approximately 1.3% of China's land and 3% of energy consumption, creating 4.3% of China's total economic output. In winter, the warm and cozy atmosphere of the Dongdang Lake is melting, with sunlight shining on the surface of the lake. The starting point of the lake water is lit up, and people are either strolling along the lake trail or sitting and chatting leisurely. In the 1980s, this place suffered from severe ecological pollution due to the disorderly discharge of industrial wastewater. After learning from the bitter experience, Xiamen has launched pollution control, introduced environmental protection technology, promoted source pollution control, and revitalized water bodies. Through a series of strict environmental protection measures and restoration and management, the beautiful butterfly transformation has taken place in Dongdang Lake, making it a well-known ecotourism destination far and wide. In the eyes of Arab diplomats stationed in China, the precious and detailed textual materials, as well as the vivid video scenes of active people in the Qudang Academy, interpret the ecological governance process of Qudang Lake from a stinky water lake to an "urban reception room", and are a microcosm of China's urban promotion of ecological civilization construction. Yemeni Ambassador to China, Mehtami, told reporters that the governance process of Lake Doudang embodies the ecological governance wisdom of "protecting in development and developing in protection". Different government departments work together to protect the ecological environment, and the results are fixed through institutionalized means such as legislation. A good ecological environment brings more happiness to the residents living in it. This successful case of ecological governance is worth learning from for many countries, "said Mehtami. At the Zero Carbon Pavilion of Xiamen Kehua Data Co., Ltd., there is a dazzling green color everywhere, whether it is the background board, brochure or case model. The company integrates innovative digital technology to promote the digital and low-carbon transformation and development of industries such as finance, industry, communication, and transportation, achieving synchronous improvement of "economic output value" and "ecological appearance value". In the cases presented by enterprises, whether it is maximizing the spontaneous utilization rate of household photovoltaics, promoting the low-carbon transformation of industrial parks, or setting up photovoltaic storage solutions to optimize the national energy structure, they have all left a deep impression on me Syrian Ambassador to China Hassan praised while watching, "Greening and digitization are becoming important directions for the development of international manufacturing. China has proven through practice that promoting green and low-carbon economic and social development is a key link to achieving high-quality development. Each photo, exhibit, and story tells the vivid story of Fuzhou solving the problem of "garbage siege", composing a new song of "West Lake water control", and planting a "green banyan city". Strolling through the streets and alleys of Fuzhou, you can see many banyan trees. 'Rongcheng' is truly a very green and beautiful city. Environmental protection is crucial for the sustainable development of cities. China has achieved significant results in balancing economic development and environmental protection, and many experiences are worth learning from Deputy Director of the Kuwaiti Embassy in China, Dato 'Sheikh, stated. Seeking "beauty" and experiencing the charm of cultural exchange, Quanzhou is the starting point of China's ancient "Maritime Silk Road" and was once the "largest port in the East" where many countries and merchants gathered. The Italian traveler Marco Polo once wrote in his travelogue: "The thorn tree (Quanzhou) is one of the largest ports in the world, where a large number of merchants gather. The goods pile up like mountains, and the prosperity of buying and selling is unimaginable." The Quanzhou Overseas Transportation History Museum houses a large number of Arabic inscriptions, calligraphy, and architectural components, telling the history of cultural exchanges between Arab countries and China on the Maritime Silk Road. Standing in front of the statue of Moroccan traveler Ibn Battuta at the entrance of the museum, Moroccan Ambassador to China Ansari carefully listened to the history of exchanges between Arab countries and Quanzhou. Quanzhou has witnessed the long-standing and profound friendship between Arab countries and China, "sighed Ansari. As early as the 14th century, Ibn Battuta landed in Quanzhou and traveled in China for a year, communicating China's connections with Africa and the Arab world. A 70 year old cyclist from Morocco once followed in the footsteps of Ibn Battuta, starting from Casablanca, Morocco and traveling through 15 countries in over 200 days to Quanzhou, China, realizing his dream of 'walking' the Silk Road again, "said Ansari. Listening to a piece of Nanyin ancient rhyme, watching a puppet show, learning Jin Cang embroidery... Arriving at the Quanzhou Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, Arab ambassadors to China enthusiastically participated in interactive activities in the intangible cultural heritage workshop. Accompanied by traditional Minnan musical instruments such as the Pi Xian Hu, young artist Cai Jinjia's fingers flickered and his puppets moved with rhythm, depicting intricate movements such as tapping wooden fish to recite scriptures and stumbling in the wind and rain. This puppet show, titled "Little Shami Goes Down the Mountain," vividly portrays the joys and sorrows that little Shami experienced in the world after going down the mountain, deeply attracting the ambassadors to China on site. The skills of young Chinese artists performing puppet shows are extremely exquisite. In my visits to different cities in China, I can see young people performing intangible cultural heritage skills, which shows that intangible cultural heritage skills have been well inherited among the younger generation in China The head of the Arab embassy in China and the Lebanese ambassador to China, Jabbar, said, "During my visit to Fujian, I have gained a deeper understanding of the long and splendid Chinese culture. It is very important for the younger generation to understand and inherit intangible cultural heritage for the development of the country. I hope that in the future, more diverse cultural exchange activities will be carried out between Arab countries and China to promote cultural exchange and mutual learning." On the central axis of Fuzhou, there is a complex of ancient buildings covering an area of more than 400000 square meters, which houses a large number of ancient dwellings, ancestral halls, and academies. This is a historic and cultural block known as the rare "Ming and Qing Architecture Museum" in Sanfang Qixiang. Small intangible cultural heritage stalls such as lacquer fans, dough figurines, and oil paper umbrella paintings can be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys, attracting many domestic and foreign tourists to come and "check in". Here, you can not only see the traditional layout of ancient urban neighborhoods, but also discover innovative cultural and tourism products such as "intangible cultural heritage+exhibitions" and immersive experiences, exploring new ways to open up ancient houses, neighborhoods, and alleys. How to innovate and express traditional culture? In China, we have seen the combination of traditional cultural elements and new technologies such as artificial intelligence. Telling traditional culture through digital media and creating immersive and experiential cultural scenes can facilitate cross-cultural communication Jordanian Ambassador to China Hosseini said, "I greatly appreciate China's global civilization initiative. Culture is an important bridge for communication between countries, helping to reduce misunderstandings and prejudices, and promoting mutual understanding among people from different countries." In winter, the warm sun and gentle breeze. On the occasion of parting, the diplomatic envoys to China took a group photo in front of the huge lacquer painting "Fujian Mountains, Fujian Waters, and New Things". In the picture, the rising sun illuminates the vast land, and rivers meander out of the mountains and flow towards the sea. (New Society)
