The 2025 Lujiazui Forum officially opened in Shanghai on Wednesday morning, expecting multiple major financial policies to be announced for deeper financial reform, openness, and international cooperation.

The two-day forum has gathered policymakers, regulators, and financial leaders from over ten countries and regions. This year's theme, "Financial opening up and cooperation for high-quality development in a changing global economy," highlights China's commitment to further integrating into the global financial system.

Senior leaders from the People's Bank of China, the National Administration of Financial Regulation, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, and the Shanghai Municipal Government will deliver keynote speeches.

More than 70 distinguished speakers are attending the forum, including heads of foreign financial institutions and global regulatory agencies.

After the opening ceremony, there will be eight plenary sessions and forums with a strong emphasis on cutting-edge topics, such as how artificial intelligence can empower financial reform and innovation, how finance can support the development of new quality productive forces, and how to improve the multi-tiered capital market system to cultivate patient capital.

Three special sessions will also be held, focusing on reinsurance market development, science and technology finance, and the rule of law in finance.

The champion robots from last year's inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games on Friday issued a global invitation for more international robotics teams to enter the event's second edition, which will be held in Beijing later this year.

The advanced humanoids appeared alongside other officials to make the invitation from the China Media Group (CMG)'s special studio in the Italian city of Milan, where the 2026 Winter Olympics will kick off later on the same day.

The robot delegation, which is comprised of some of the winning bots from the inaugural Robot Games, are not only supporting the CMG's Winter Olympics coverage on site, but also visiting landmarks, universities, and research institutes across Milan to promote exchanges and cooperation.

The first World Humanoid Robot Games were held in Beijing last August, marking a historic milestone in the advancement of robotics and artificial intelligence.

The event drew 280 teams from 16 countries, including the United States, Germany and Italy, to compete in 26 events, which included the world's first humanoid robot 100-meter sprint and a fully autonomous 5v5 robot football match.
