China realizes unprecedented development by prioritizing its people

Published

BEIJING, June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In Beijing, the essay topic for the English test of this year’s gaokao focuses on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Chinese middle school student Li Hua is asked to offer some suggestions to his foreign friend Jim, who wants to write a piece on this subject. To help enlighten Jim as well as those who are interested in China’s development, Global Times invited several foreign experts and observers to share their insights on China’s great achievements in various spheres over the past seven and half decades.

Discussing China’s achievements over the 75 years since the founding of the People’s Republic could be the subject of a very long book and is understood in different ways by different generations of people. I’ve always believed the best way to know how people in China think, is to ask them.

So, through asking a range of different people from different generations we can expect to find a range of different answers.

Those students who have been preparing all their school lives to take the recent gaokao, the “national college entrance examinations”, had slightly different responses to those who took the exam in my early years of teaching here, around 2004 and 2005. For interest, I thought it might be good to get the opinions of some older Chinese people too, and so I asked a retired couple.

Teenagers love connectivity, being able to communicate with family and friends and shop online with their phone. Interestingly, pensioners have similar views about mobile phones, the community they live in provides them with free classes that help them learn how to use WeChat so they aren’t so disconnected from their grandchildren, especially during the school term. They learn about online shopping and banking; they know how to upload and download and they have courses on how to avoid internet and mobile scams. The youngsters don’t need that, they seem to have an inherent understanding of how to be safe online.

The retirees also think education is important. To them, this was the most important development in China, and the country is now strong because of it. China leads the world in science and technology and has more students enrolled in university courses than any other country in the world and the future is being built on a foundation of education. The youngsters agree, but for a different reason. School is better; they have modern classrooms, modern facilities, computerization and sports.

Older people remember the rivers and how they used to play in them when they were kids. China’s development, they say, came at an environmental cost which they paid the price for but that has changed in recent years. Strong anti-pollution rules and the introduction of electric cars and buses have all helped; the rivers are cleaner and the air is fresher.

Transportation was most important to the middle group, these are young professionals with families of their own. To be able to get on a train in Guangdong and just a few hours later get off the train on the other side of the country means they can get to see their families, take holidays and have more time for themselves. One lady in her fifties described getting to university in the 1990s as a 16-hour bus trip with several ferry crossings. The journey now takes 27 minutes on the high-speed train and driving a car, something she would never have imagined in her younger days, takes her less than 90 minutes. She laughed when she said it takes her son less time to get to college in Australia than she took to travel 100 kilometers inside Guangdong. China’s bridges have made this possible but it doesn’t stop there. An interconnected system of freeways and bridges connects everywhere in China to everywhere else.

And in talking about this, she realized there was another great achievement for China, the very fact that she now owns a car and is able to send her child to school overseas was unthinkable when she was her son’s age. Everyone in China is better off than they were, and everyone I speak to is optimistic that they will continue along this trajectory.

If you ask anyone of any age, any generation and from any background, what are China’s two or three greatest achievements, some will say the internet connectivity, some will say transportation or infrastructure and some describe the health system which has consistently delivered better outcomes over the last 75 years and increased the life-expectancy to higher than that of most developed countries. Others talk of the education system that produces more STEM graduates than the US, Russia, the European Union and the UK combined, while some will say the de-desertification and the environmental improvements, bringing clean air and blue skies back to the cities. But they will all agree that the no.1 achievement is lifting the people out of poverty.

The greatest achievement of any country is to do the right thing for its people. And in these 75 years, China has done exactly that.

New Talogy InView Leadership® helps organisations assess, select and develop leaders at every level

DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In response to rising demand for agile, people-centric leaders in an increasingly volatile, tech-driven landscape, global talent management provider, Talogy, has updated its InView Leadership solution. 

Based on decades of experience in leadership assessments, the comprehensive, evidence-based framework evaluates not just what leaders do, but how leaders lead, and why they lead.

As organisations prepare for the future, their leaders need to balance the competing demands of driving transformation and creating stability. With traditional assessments often focusing on what a leader should do, InView Leadership takes a transformational approach, providing a modern definition of effective leadership.

Taking an ‘inside-out’ approach, the solution provides a holistic understanding of the multidimensional leader, across three integrated layers:

Identity: Explaining why leaders lead the way they do by examining the values, motivations and beliefs that underpin their priorities, decisions and overall approach.Emotional intelligence: Influencing how leaders express their leadership, understand themselves, respond to others and perform under pressure.Leadership qualities: Revealing what leaders do by outlining the essential behaviours required for modern leadership based on the challenges they face.

Designed for a constantly evolving workplace, the InView methodology underpins psychometrics, assessment centres, development programmes and coaching to form an integrated leadership ecosystem. 

Explaining this further, Dan Hughes, VP of Product Development at Talogy, said, “This scientifically grounded framework establishes a common language across leadership assessment, development and strategy. InView’s multi-faceted approach enables organisations to consistently assess potential, accelerate development and equip empathetic, future-ready leaders at every level.”

The enhanced InView solution draws on Talogy’s 25 years of leadership assessment and development experience in the Middle East, a milestone the company celebrates this month. Sharan Gohel, Senior Director of Consulting for the region, acknowledged the milestone, saying, “This achievement is significant as we are proud to continue bringing world-class talent solutions to the Gulf region. The advancements of the InView solution demonstrate Talogy’s ongoing commitment to combining innovative technological developments with deep talent expertise to meet the evolving needs of our clients.”

AI-powered simulations 

The updated solution also introduces an immersive, innovative way to explore capability for the first time using realistic, AI-powered simulations. 

Marking the first jointly developed exercise since Talogy’s partnership with Symulate, the offering combines conversational AI, voice and interactive personas to bring immersive leadership scenarios to life for real-world development. 

This new capability allows organizations to deepen insight into leadership qualities, understand areas of strength to leverage and uncover ongoing development opportunities.

Commenting on the solution, Alan Bourne, CEO and Founder at Symulate said, “By fusing our conversational AI and interactive personas with the robust InView framework, Talogy is able to deliver highly realistic scenarios. This gives leaders a safe, immersive space to hone their skills, while providing organisations with actionable insights into their true development opportunities.”

Dinto Solar Earns Thailand’s First Mandatory TISI Certification for HJT PV Module Makers

Published

By

BEIJING, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dinto Solar, a global pioneer in heterojunction (HJT) technology, has earned mandatory certification from the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) for its solar modules. The company is among the first photovoltaic (PV) module makers worldwide to qualify under Thailand’s new requirements and the first dedicated HJT module maker to receive the certification.

Thailand’s compulsory safety requirements for crystalline silicon PV modules took effect on October 30, 2026. Modules imported for sale must comply with the applicable Thai standard and be covered by a TISI license. The approval strengthens Dinto Solar’s readiness to serve local customers as regulatory compliance becomes essential to market access.

Certification was granted under TIS 61730 Part 2-2567, aligned with IEC 61730-2:2023, covering electrical insulation, fire safety and mechanical strength. TISI auditors inspected Dinto Solar’s manufacturing facilities in Longgang and Suining, China, reviewing quality management, production controls, supply chains and traceability. The company’s modules, developed and manufactured in-house, passed the assessment on the first application.

The certified portfolio spans 33 power ratings from 455 W to 770 W, supporting residential rooftops, commercial and industrial (C&I) installations and utility-scale solar plants. This range gives Thai developers and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors greater flexibility in product selection and system design.

For businesses with limited rooftop space, HJT’s high efficiency supports greater power generation per square meter. Dinto Solar’s G12-132 module features a superior temperature coefficient of −0.24%/°C to limit heat-related power loss. Butyl sealing and coated dual glass further improve moisture resistance and durability, supporting reliable energy yield in Thailand’s hot, humid climate.

JJ Energy Company Limited, Dinto Solar’s exclusive partner in Thailand, holds the local import licenses. The companies’ 2026–2027 agreement, announced in September, includes an initial 30 MW order for G12-132 HJT modules for Thai C&I rooftops. Certification enables the partners to advance import arrangements, customs clearance and distribution in preparation for delivery.

With certified products and local market capabilities in place, Dinto Solar is strengthening its position in Thailand while expanding its presence across Southeast Asia. The company will continue working with regional partners to bring high-efficiency HJT solutions to more projects, focusing on reliable performance, long-term energy yield and customer value.
