Global Times: Experience peaceful development and win-win cooperation at Airshow China

Published

on

BEIJING, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The fifteenth China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, also known as Airshow China, will be held in Zhuhai, South China’s Guangdong Province, from November 12 to 17. The Chinese Air Force revealed at a press conference on Tuesday that new equipment, including the J-35A medium-sized stealth fighter, the HQ-19 surface-to-air missile weapon system, and a new attack reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle will make their debut at the airshow. Although the event has not yet begun, the information disclosed in advance has sparked heated discussions. In particular, the preview of some “pillars of the country” will be unveiled one after another, making military fans at home and abroad full of expectations and every patriot proud.

As one of the world’s top five airshows, Airshow China has become an important platform for showcasing international aviation and aerospace advanced technology and high-end equipment, as well as promoting exchanges and cooperation.

This year’s Airshow China has attracted more than 1,000 exhibitors from 47 countries and regions, including Russia, France and the US. It features many world-renowned aviation enterprises, including Airbus, Honeywell, Embraer and Thales. International aviation and aerospace companies have great confidence in the Chinese market, so they are willing to bring their most advanced and high-end products to China to showcase themselves and facilitate cooperation through this equal and open platform of mutual benefit.

Airshow China has continued to grow in scale and quality, progressing hand in hand with the expansion of China’s high-end manufacturing industry, mutually promoting each other’s advancement. The aviation industry, hailed as the “flower of modern industry,” is a critical marker of a nation’s technological, economic, and defense capabilities as well as its level of industrialization, reflecting its comprehensive ability in high-end manufacturing.

Over several decades, China’s aviation and aerospace equipment has achieved leapfrog development, securing tangible accomplishments. Today, we possess advanced active defense equipment and highly acclaimed aerospace technology. Breakthroughs have been made with civil aircraft, such as the C919, ARJ21 and the AG600 “Kunlong,” while drone technology is leading the world. This showcases China’s steady and balanced progress in independent innovation across “land, sea, air, space, electronics, and cyberspace,” witnessing the journey from a fledgling to an advanced aviation industry, as well as the entire industrial system, and garnering repeated admiration.

Thus, Airshow China has also embodied the sincere patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese public, rooted in a peace-oriented spirit. From the first Airshow China to its current status as one of the world’s top five air shows over the nearly three decades, China’s contribution to global peace and stability has become increasingly prominent. China’s strong defense capabilities have demonstrated remarkable performance in international rescue operations and anti-piracy efforts. China’s advanced civil aviation and aerospace technology has benefited many people in developing countries through various levels of cooperation. The progress in China’s aviation and aerospace industry not only equips the country to safeguard its sovereignty, security, and development interests but also empowers it to make greater contributions to regional stability and world peace.

In addition to cutting-edge equipment such as the J-35A and HQ-19, this airshow will also feature a newly established demonstration area for drones and unmanned boats. The lunar samples collected from the far side of the moon during the Chang’e 6 mission will also be showcased at this year’s airshow. These elements indicate that China’s technology is already at the forefront of the world in certain fields. As China makes significant progress in high-end manufacturing and enters the world’s top tier in multiple technological domains, cooperation with China represents opportunities and mutual benefits. The Chinese people are diligently and steadily working to do their own things well, bringing shared prosperity to the world.

At the previous Airshow China, the amount of cooperation agreements signed on the first day reached 250 billion yuan, with over 350 aircraft transactions. This year, people are generally more optimistic, as evidenced by the surge in the number of exhibitors, the emergence of high-end equipment, and the rising enthusiasm among the public.

With the implementation of a number of major projects and initiatives, China will adopt a more proactive and open stance toward advancing international cooperation and exchanges in the aviation and aerospace field. Therefore, what people see at Airshow China are not only “pillars of the country,” but also China’s confidence and openness in high-tech fields, as well as a vision of peaceful development and win-win cooperation.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
