Why ‘the world is watching’ China’s two sessions?: Global Times editorial

Published

BEIJING, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The third session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the third session of the 14th National People’s Congress (NPC) conclude on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, to draw a close to this year’s two sessions. This year’s sessions featured numerous highlights, including confidence-boosting goals and tasks, meticulous attention to people’s livelihoods, pragmatic and efficient discussions, and a grand vision for major-country diplomacy. Not only are Chinese citizens closely following this grand event, but the world is also paying keen attention to it, including China’s democratic practices, developmental changes, and how China will interact with the global community in the future.

This year’s two sessions have attracted over 3,000 domestic and international journalists, marking an increase in media attention. Numerous mainstream international media outlets have prominently featured related reports on their home pages or dedicated special sections, providing in-depth coverage through live broadcasts and on-site reporting. Commenting on this phenomenon, a German scholar said, “the world is watching” this year’s two sessions. Aaron Costello, head of Asia at Cambridge Associates, said China’s two sessions have “delivered a pro-growth message here at the National People’s Congress, in line with expectations,” according to a report by CNBC. Singapore’s Straits Times reported that consulting firm professionals said of China’s various financing measures announced for tech and innovation. “It’s clearly a forceful and sizeable push” that “injects confidence into the market.” The Tehran Times reported on the closing of the third session of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC under the headline “China’s unity shines.”

Why do China’s two sessions attract such global attention? This is closely related to the global significance of China’s economic and social development. On one hand, the 5 percent economic growth target, steadfast promotion of green development, principles of “building friendship with neighboring countries,” and “openness and inclusiveness” align with the world’s expectations of China; these initiatives themselves signify confidence and momentum. On the other hand, the two sessions are a concentrated embodiment of China’s democratic and governance practices. The rapid economic development and long-term social stability China has maintained in recent years lead the world to hope to observe and understand the sources of China’s “certainty” through these sessions.

At this year’s two sessions, technology and livelihoods emerged as key topics. Daily active users of China’s homegrown AI model DeepSeek surpassed 30 million, elderly care robots are moving from concept to reality, and the low-altitude economy is soaring into a trillion-yuan market. While the world witnesses China’s technological progress improving lives, it also sees new opportunities for collaboration. For example, in the rapidly advancing high-tech and green sectors, China has attracted significant investments from countries like Germany and Singapore. This not only drives China’s technological progress and environmental improvement but also provides these countries with new markets and collaboration opportunities. According to Bloomberg’s calculations based on the latest IMF forecasts, China will be the top contributor to global growth over the next five years, with its 22 percent share bigger than that of all G7 countries combined.

Many foreign media outlets have noted that this year’s two sessions have further clarified the task of expanding high-level opening-up, including fully removing foreign investment restrictions in manufacturing and easing market access in sectors like telecommunications and healthcare. These deployments will soon be implemented in an orderly manner at the policy level. This not only reflects China’s strategic commitment to high-quality development but also provides a new key driving force for the recovery and growth of the global economy.

The consumption upgrade needs and industrial transformation potential of China’s 1.4 billion people offer vast opportunities for global goods, technologies, and services. Opening-up and cooperation in fields like AI, green energy, and digital economy will accelerate the global tech revolution, while China’s experience in international cooperation on climate change, public health, and other areas contributes Eastern wisdom to the improvement of the global governance system.

The world is focused on China’s two sessions, which also serve as a collective reflection on “how to achieve good governance.” By 12:00 pm on March 8, the third session of the 14th National People’s Congress had received 269 proposals, with notable improvements in their quality.

The two sessions are a significant event in Chinese people’s political life, bringing together nearly 3,000 NPC deputies and over 2,100 CPPCC members from all corners of the country and all walks of life. Their proposals reflect the wisdom and hopes of over 1.4 billion people. The starting point is specific and clear – aimed at solving everyday issues on the path to a better life for the people. For the world, this is also a resonance of shared human values.

China’s development is inseparable from the world, and the world’s prosperity needs China. 2025 marks the final year of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) and the year of strategic planning for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). This year’s two sessions serve as a key point in shaping China’s future development and a critical window for the world to gain insights into China’s policies and opportunities. For the international community, working together and sharing the benefits of China’s development will lead to a more hopeful future.

JAMS Launches AI for Enterprise Job Scheduling: JAX and JAMS MCP, on the Model You Choose

A new AI agent and an open-standard connector let IT teams query, diagnose, and manage automation in plain language, on the model they choose, with operational data staying inside their own network

LONDON, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JAMS Software, an orchestration solution for scheduled and event-driven automation, today announced the general availability of two AI capabilities for enterprise job scheduling: JAX, an AI agent built into the JAMS Web Client, and JAMS MCP, a connector built on the open Model Context Protocol standard that brings JAMS into external AI coding tools. Both capabilities ship at no additional cost as part of JAMS Web.

Automation environments grow faster than the teams that run them. Jobs multiply across SQL Server, Azure Data Factory, Airflow, SAP, JDE, and Banner, and when one fails, finding the root cause often means searching several consoles at once, frequently outside business hours. At the same time, IT leaders carry pressure to adopt AI while staying accountable for where operational data goes. JAX and JAMS MCP close both gaps together.

Full details on how JAX and JAMS MCP work, including the control model behind every action, are available at jamsscheduler.com/product/ai.

JAX is an AI agent that runs inside the JAMS Web Client. It finds jobs, troubleshoots failures, and answers how-to questions in plain language, with each response grounded in the JAMS user guide and checked against a built-in glossary. JAX acts only when a user asks it to. Reads flow freely, and every write action pauses for the user’s explicit approval before it runs. JAX does not learn between sessions, and conversations are not retained on the server.

JAMS MCP is a connector, built on the open Model Context Protocol standard, that brings JAMS into the AI tools engineering teams already use, including Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Codex. Users query jobs, investigate failures, and manage runs in plain language without leaving their tool.

Both capabilities run inside the customer’s own network and act as the signed-in user, with that user’s exact JAMS permissions. There is no elevated AI account: whatever a user cannot do in the JAMS interface, JAX and JAMS MCP cannot do on that user’s behalf. Every JAX and MCP operation is recorded in its own dedicated log, and changes made through the JAMS API land in the JAMS audit trail like any other change. Customers choose their own AI model, whether a commercial provider such as OpenAI or Anthropic or a model running entirely on their own hardware, and JAMS never trains on customer data. In the current release, neither feature edits or deletes a job, folder, schedule, or agent definition. For teams that must keep operational data within a defined boundary, JAX runs on a local model entirely inside the customer’s own network, so nothing leaves at all.

“Adopting AI usually means giving something up, most often visibility into where your data goes,” said Pete Hegland, Chief Executive Officer of JAMS Software. “We built JAX and JAMS MCP so that trade does not have to happen. Every action runs as the signed-in user, every change waits for approval, and the model itself can run entirely inside your own network.”

“IT teams across the United Kingdom and EMEA tell us the same thing: they want the benefit of AI without losing sight of where their data goes,” said Greg McLaughlin, Account Executive for EMEA at JAMS Software. “JAX and JAMS MCP let them keep operational data inside their own network and still get answers in plain language. That combination is what makes this practical for the teams I work with.”

JAX and JAMS MCP are available now to all JAMS Web customers across the United Kingdom and EMEA, with no separate licence, SKU, or additional cost. AI-assisted creation of new jobs and workflows from a plain-language description is on the roadmap for a future release, gated by the same approvals and permissions as every other action.

SHANGHAI, July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Operations in high-end equipment manufacturing often involve confined spaces, complex objects, and fine manipulation tasks that demand sustained and stable precision. At the recent 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance (WAIC 2026), Shanghai Electric (SEHK: 02727, SSE: 601727) showcased its comprehensive portfolio of embodied intelligence solutions tailored to a range of industrial scenarios.

Themed “AI for All: Smart Squad, Shining Without Limits,” Shanghai Electric highlighted its capabilities across embodied AI robots, robot core components, and AI-native smart factory solutions, demonstrating end-to-end capabilities spanning complete robot systems, critical parts, industrial software, and smart factory architecture.

“The true value of embodied intelligence lies in understanding real industrial tasks: combining the strength, precision, and stability of machines with human experience and judgment to drive a genuine paradigm of ‘machine-assisted, human-machine collaboration,'” said Wang Chunlei, deputy general manager of the Robotics Business Unit at Shanghai Electric Automation Group.

Shanghai Electric’s robotics portfolio covers five key industrial scenarios: connector insertion, electrical operations, flexible sorting, intelligent assembly, and pipe processing. Highlights include:

“SUYUAN” bipedal humanoid robot: With 41 degrees of freedom for enhanced mobility, it is equipped with a multimodal visual sensing system on the head and torso, along with a dual-battery hot-swap system. It is well-suited for inspection, material handling, and assembly tasks.”TUOYUAN” industrial wheeled humanoid robot: Powered by an embodied intelligence foundation model and force-position hybrid control, it is capable of multi-spec connector insertion, material sorting, and loading/unloading of automotive sheet metal parts.”Mermaid” bionic wheeled humanoid robot: Capable of autonomously identifying buttons, knobs, and air switches, it generates real-time operation paths.Autonomous pipe inner-wall chamfering robot: Designed for confined spaces, it can position and process thousands of hole edges with accuracy within 1 millimeter while transmitting data in real time.

Shanghai Electric also showcased its portfolio of core components ranging from power-output to end effectors. Among them, the planetary roller screw offers more than three times the load capacity of traditional ball screws, while the DexHand dexterous hand is designed to meet diverse gripping and manipulation requirements.

Shanghai Electric launched 51 AI models and agents under its “StarCloud Intelligent Manufacturing” series across three domains: R&D and design, production and manufacturing, and operations and maintenance—covering critical equipment processes such as process optimization and wind power facility maintenance.

These industrial agents are embedded in robotic decision-making systems and the operational logic of AI-native smart factories, transforming industrial expertise into digitized, reusable capabilities. They support production-line scheduling, quality inspection, and predictive maintenance, driving the evolution of manufacturing systems from experience-driven to data-driven operations.

Shanghai Electric also released the “AI-Native Smart Factory Technology White Paper,” proposing an active evolution architecture that enables real‑time, closed‑loop optimization of production data, giving the factory self‑perception, self‑decision, and self‑execution capabilities. Built on First Principles, the AI‑native smart factory vertically integrates process flows, industrial software, agents, and smart equipment to dismantle traditional hierarchies while horizontally bridging data silos. The architecture features three core layers: the AI factory brain as the “control center,” industrial agents and embodied robots as the “execution network,” and the physical twin as the “digital mirror.”

Leveraging its deep industrial expertise and comprehensive solution capabilities, Shanghai Electric will continue to drive the implementation of AI in industrial settings, tackle technical challenges facing embodied intelligence in complex scenarios, accelerate the large‑scale deployment of AI‑native smart factories, and deliver replicable solutions across diverse manufacturing environments.
