Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang on Wednesday called for deepening international cooperation in digital education in his speech delivered at the opening ceremony of 2025 World Digital Education Conference in Wuhan City, central China's Hubei Province.

Ding, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said the Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of digital education.

President Xi Jinping has said it is essential to implement the national strategy for the digitalization of education, build a learning society, and speed up the cultivation of large numbers of talent across all sectors and levels, Ding said.

China is speeding up work to build an educational powerhouse, Ding noted, stressing the need to further promote the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of education, and establish a modern digital education system that is more equitable, of higher quality, smarter and serves lifelong learning for all.

This aims to strengthen education's fundamental and strategic role in the building of a modern socialist country in all respects, he said.

Ding also put forward four proposals for deepening international cooperation in digital education, namely, jointly building a high-level international open cooperation system for digital education, boosting the reform of education through digital technology, promoting inclusive sharing of digital education achievements, and strengthening the ethical and security guarantees for digital education.

Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Youth and Sport Hang Chuon Naron attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech.

Prior to the opening ceremony, Ding visited an exhibition showcasing achievements in education digitalization and exchanged views with representatives from participating organizations.

China's smart consumer device industry sees rapid growth amid policy boost

2025-07-13 22:01 Last Updated At:22:37

China's smart consumer device manufacturing sector has seen rapid growth this year, fueled by a government-backed trade-in program and the expansion of diversified consumption scenarios.

From January to May, the country's electronic information manufacturing industry maintained strong momentum, with total revenue of enterprises above the designated size reaching 6.49 trillion yuan (some 900 billion U.S. dollars), up 9.4 percent year on year.

Production of electronic consumer goods recorded steady increases. Over 140 million computers were produced during the period, up 8 percent from a year earlier, while 14.04 million television units rolled off assembly lines, up 1.7 percent year on year.

"Consumption scenarios are becoming more diversified. On the demand side, new smart products are quickly entering the market, opening up emerging markets in home services, health management, and beyond. On the supply side, the industry is clearly moving toward transformation and upgrading, with new growth drivers accelerating," said Zuo Kairui, director of the Industry Development Department of the Institute of Policy and Economics at the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.

Looking ahead to the second half of the year, China plans to go on promoting its "AI plus consumer goods" initiative, encouraging the development and application of new technologies such as smart wearables, ultra-high-definition video, brain-computer interfaces, and robotics.

Meanwhile, authorities will continue to foster high-growth consumer sectors and guide the smart device industry toward greener, more service-oriented development.
