TIANJIN, China, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from China Daily:
The 2025 "A Date with China" international media delegation concluded a three-day visit to Tianjin on Dec 17, getting a glimpse of the city's development in preserving intangible cultural heritages, driving cutting-edge technological innovations, and advancing global vocational education.
To get a taste of Tianjin's vibrant intangible cultural heritage, the group visited Tianjin Pingju Opera Theatre, Guangdong Guild Hall, and Xiaoliyuan Crosstalk Teahouse, where they donned traditional opera costumes, practiced kuaiban (rhythmic bamboo clappers), and experienced the art of "speaking, imitating, teasing, and singing".
On Ancient Culture Street, Italian blogger Andrea stepped up to the griddle and tried his hand at making jianbing guozi (Chinese pancake wrap), joking, "You may have seen Italians make pizza, but this is probably the first time you've seen an Italian make jianbing guozi."
The group also experienced Clay Figure Zhang and saw a shadow puppetry performance of Journey to the West. Bruno Falci, a reporter from TeleSUR, said that foreign journalists eagerly want to understand these art forms, and seized every chance to deeply explore Chinese culture.
The international media group also got a firsthand experience of Tianjin's technological vitality at industrial parks and tech enterprises. American blogger Dante Munoz showed great interest in cutting-edge products, trying out foldable tablets, AI chat assistant, and intelligent health robots.
"Chinese products are high-tech and reliable; enterprises grasp global needs well," Munoz said, adding that he's looking forward to better localized products.
The intelligent upgrading of Tianjin Metro Line 1 also amazed global guests. A 360-degree vehicle exterior image detection system can identify loose screws and foreign objects, while an intelligent vehicle operation and maintenance system monitors door operations, driving modes, and traction braking levels. This human-machine collaboration enhances efficiency and reduces maintenance costs.
At the Luban Workshop Experience Museum, the delegation learned about China's global vocational education achievements. They met four Egyptian students majoring in computer numerical control. Student Ibrahim Maher said studying there boosted his growth and that he hoped to bring Chinese skills back to Egypt.
Luban Workshop is a world-renowned cooperation brand created by Tianjin, introduced by Wang Juan, director of International Exchange and Cooperation Department at Tianjin Light Industry Vocational Technical College. Now, 36 Luban Workshops exist in 30 countries, training talents for local development like Egypt's industrialization. "Luban Workshops teach practical skills," Italian blogger Andrea said. "China now exports not just products but professional skills — remarkable."

Tianjin through intl media's eyes: Time-honored culture, smart future & global knowledge exchange
DUBAI, UAE, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mantle, the high-performance distribution and liquidity layer for next-generation DeFi and real-world assets, today announced a strategic partnership with Bybit and CIAN to launch the Bybit Mantle Vault powered by CIAN, a native onchain stablecoin yield product built and executed on Mantle Network.
The new vault establishes Mantle as the execution and distribution layer for structured, market-neutral stablecoin yield. Users can deposit USDC or USDT via Bybit Earn and have their assets deployed directly into Mantle-native, onchain yield strategies without manual swaps, leverage management, or operational complexity.
This launch marks CIAN's native onboarding to Mantle and introduces the first dedicated onchain yield product layer within the Mantle DeFi ecosystem, expanding access to structured stablecoin strategies through a seamless CeFi-to-DeFi experience.
Establishing Mantle as the Distribution Layer for Onchain Yield
CIAN specializes in developing and operating structured onchain yield products, abstracting complex DeFi strategies into simple, user-friendly vaults. By deploying natively on Mantle, CIAN enables stablecoin yield strategies to operate with greater efficiency and composability within Mantle's low-cost, high-performance execution environment.
Mantle Network provides the scalable infrastructure required for these automated strategies, supporting fast settlement, low fees, and seamless integration across the broader ecosystem. The addition of Mantle Vault strengthens Mantle's role as a distribution layer where onchain yield products can be accessed, executed, and scaled efficiently.
Bybit complements this integration by acting as the global access and distribution layer, allowing millions of users to enter Mantle's onchain economy through a familiar interface while benefiting from fully onchain execution. Together, the three partners establish a unified flow where capital can move smoothly from centralized access points into Mantle-native yield strategies.
Advancing Accessible Onchain Yield
The collaboration represents a step forward in making onchain yield products more accessible to a broader audience. By combining CIAN's yield expertise, Mantle's execution infrastructure, and Bybit's global distribution, the partnership delivers a streamlined pathway for users to participate in stablecoin yield strategies without operational complexity.
As Mantle continues to build out its role as a distribution layer for onchain finance, the introduction of native yield products lays the groundwork for deeper liquidity, expanded DeFi utility, and future integrations across the ecosystem.
The Bybit Mantle Vault powered by CIAN is now live and open for subscriptions.
