JIAXING, China, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 8, the Academy of Contemporary China and World Studies (ACCWS) of China International Communications Group officially released its latest research findings, The 2025 Annual Report on the Chinese Cultural Symbols International Communication Index (CSIC), at the Forum on Cultural Exchange and Development in Cyberspace during the 2025 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit. The Chinese Cultural Symbols International Communication Index series has become a flagship research product of ACCWS and has been presented at specialized forums for three consecutive years. Li Yafang, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of China International Communications Group and President of ACCWS, presented the report's key findings at the event.
Li Yafang noted that the international communication of Chinese culture has demonstrated new trends on the global stage this year, with a group of representative Chinese cultural symbols continuing to gain worldwide recognition, showcasing their profound cultural heritage and contemporary vitality.
The ACCWS research team has optimized and upgraded this year's Chinese Cultural Symbols International Communication Index model. Building on the existing dimensions of mainstream media communication index, social media communication index, and online attention, three new analytical dimensions have been added: online interaction index, international reputation, and AI large model recognition. This enables a systematic study of how Chinese cultural symbols have been communicated globally over the past year.
The report constructs a 2025 Chinese Cultural International Communication Symbols Matrix, encompassing ten major dimensions: urban culture and tourism, guochao (or China chic) and intangible cultural heritage, transliterated Chinese terms, historical mystery, Eastern fantasy, Spring Festival globalization, Chinese culinary trends, slice-of-life narratives, grassroots digital exchanges, and museum cultural and creative products. Combined with the index model, the report identifies the top 10 Chinese online pop-culture IPs of 2025, which are, in order: Labubu, Dead to Rights, Ne Zha 2, Wuthering Waves, Legend of the Female General, The Shadow's Edge, Nobody, Master Chef, Where Winds Meet, and The Prisoner of Beauty. These span various online popular culture formats, including designer toys, films, web series, micro-dramas, video games, and animation. Additionally, the report identifies five regional cultural hotspots with international impact in 2025: the World Games igniting global sporting passion (Chengdu), a cyberpunk city where tradition meets modernity (Chongqing), the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit catalyzing upgraded international urban landscapes (Tianjin), the "Jiangsu Super League" leading a new wave of mass sports and culture (Jiangsu), and "ZheBA" rising from grassroots courts to the world stage (Zhejiang).
The Forum on Cultural Exchange and Development in Cyberspace at the 2025 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit is hosted by China International Communications Group, and co-organized by China.org.cn, Tencent, and ACCWS. The forum aims to build bridges for dialogue among civilizations through cyberspace, injecting new vitality into the construction of a more open and inclusive community with a shared future in cyberspace for the digital era.

HONG KONG, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As summer approaches, the enthusiasm for running, fitness, and outdoor activities continues to heat up. Coupled with the recent buzz around international sporting events, many people are staying up late to follow live matches while maintaining their regular daily work routines, leading to a much more fast-paced lifestyle. Facing the physical exhaustion brought on by high temperatures, workouts, and changes in daily routines, how to maintain peak condition through daily nutritional supplementation and a healthy diet has become a major focus for many.

Elevate Sports Performance: Build Your Summer Mobility
In recent years, the number of people engaging in fitness, running, and outdoor sports has continued to grow, with many paying closer attention to pre- and post-workout nutrition. California Gold Nutrition's "Pure Creatine Monohydrate" is highly favored by those focused on sports performance and daily training, becoming a hot item among the fitness community. Meanwhile, the brand's "Organic MCT Oil" is beloved by fitness enthusiasts and those on ketogenic diets; it can be easily added to coffee, drinks, or daily meals as a convenient nutritional boost.
Besides nutritional supplements, sports accessories are equally essential. The iHerb Goods "Blender Bottle with Blender Ball" is not only portable but also ensures that whey protein, sports drinks, or nutritional powders are mixed quickly and evenly, making it a must-have accessory for many gym-goers.
Maintain Your Energy for Late-Night Matches: Daily Nutrition is Indispensable
With the recent surge in international sports events, many fans are staying up late to catch the games. Facing disrupted sleep schedules and the need for prolonged focus, maintaining balanced nutrition is crucial. Metagenics "OmegaGenics® 5-in-1 Fish Oil" is rich in premium EPA and DHA with a natural, easy-to-consume lemon flavor, serving as an essential foundational supplement for those who frequently eat out or stay up late.
Doctor's Best "High Absorption Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate 100% Chelated (Albion® TRAACS®)" provides a reliable daily source of minerals and is highly sought after by those who value a high quality of life, good rest, and regular routines. Additionally, Doctor's Best "PepZin GI® Zinc-L-Carnosine" has become a popular choice for daily wellness management. It offers a versatile nutritional solution perfectly suited for the fast-paced, high-dining-out lifestyle of modern consumers.
Fueling the Whole Family: High-Protein Snacks and Daily Nutrition in One Go
Beyond sports enthusiasts and sports fans, summer is also peak season for family outings and outdoor activities. Nature's Way "Alive!® Kids Chewable Multivitamin" for kids, featuring an orange berry flavor, has become a popular choice for daily family nutritional support.
For those looking to balance great taste with nutritional benefits, high-protein snacks are a trendy choice. KIND Bars "Dark Chocolate Cocoa Breakfast Protein Bars" combines rich chocolate flavor with protein replenishment, making it a perfect afternoon snack or post-workout boost. The Atkins "Protein Cookies - Chocolate Chip" offers both great texture and convenience, becoming a new favorite guilt-free snack for office workers, gym-goers, and late-night sports fans.
