The power of planning: How one blueprint built a modern metropolis

BEIJING, Nov. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — From West Lake Park to China Southeast Auto City and Cangxia New Town, China Daily journalist Erik Nilsson traces Fuzhou’s remarkable transformation — a journey shaped by a blueprint of vision and resolve.


The power of planning: How one blueprint built a modern metropolis

In 1992, Xi Jinping, then Party secretary of Fuzhou, led the drafting of the “3820” strategic project, laying out a long-term plan to guide the city’s growth over three, eight, and 20 years. Over three decades on, that vision has become a reality: Fuzhou has emerged as a dynamic, modern and international city.

State Grid Gansu Linxia Power Supply Company: Cold wave hits, strengthening the “power defense line” for a warm winter

LINXIA, China, Nov. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On November 21, staff from the State Grid Linxia Power Supply Company conducted special inspections and temperature measurements on the 124 Nanbin Line in Linxia City, meticulously checking for equipment hazards, and fully ensuring the safe and stable operation of the Linxia distribution network, providing a warm winter for the public.

In response to the cooling weather, the State Grid Linxia Power Supply Company organized various departments to strengthen real-time monitoring of important line equipment, improve emergency repair plans, and implement measures such as cold and freeze prevention, comprehensively building a “cold-proof barrier” for the power grid.

At the work site, staff focused on inspecting the sealing of outdoor equipment mechanism boxes and terminal boxes, as well as the operation status of heating and dehumidification devices. They used infrared temperature measurement to accurately monitor cable joints and line connections, which are prone to heating, to prevent equipment failures caused by low-temperature condensation and snow accumulation.

While ensuring proper equipment maintenance, the staff also deepened power supply service guarantees, proactively visiting key enterprises and public service units such as heating and water supply to understand electricity needs face-to-face. They assisted in internal power equipment hazard inspections, promoted safe electricity usage knowledge during cold weather, and precisely addressed users’ urgent and pressing issues, conveying the warmth of electricity through thoughtful service.

Lady N Expands Its U.S. Presence with Sustainable, Design-Driven Tofu Cat Litter

Plant-based, high-clumping tofu litter designed for modern households, with compatibility for automatic litter boxes.

TAIPEI, Nov. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lady N, a Taiwan-born cat litter brand, has grown rapidly in North America since entering the market in 2023, achieving 7x revenue growth in 2024 and receiving recognition from Amazon Global Selling with an Emerging Brand Award in 2024 and a Growth Torch Award in 2025, with this year’s year-over-year growth surpassing 200%. This strong momentum reflects the brand’s increasing popularity and trust among consumers. Lady N offers a new generation of plant-based, design-forward litter built on feline wellness science, guided by the philosophy “Made for cats, loved by humans, and kind to the planet.”

The brand centers on three pillars: design-oriented aesthetics and gentle, animal-friendly scents; sustainable, plant-based biodegradable materials; and science-backed features including probiotic odor control and plant-derived pheromones.

Lady N removes the need to choose between performance, design, and sustainability. As automatic litter boxes become more common among cat owners, the brand has introduced one of the first tofu-based granular litters designed for compatibility with all major automatic litter box systems, meeting the needs of modern households.

Key features include five-step de-dusting, low tracking, and fast clumping. White pellets support easy urine monitoring, while all fragrances follow IFRA standards, with unscented options available.

Lady N also supports community welfare initiatives. Following the 2023 Maui wildfires, the brand donated tofu litter and supplements to Surf Cat Ranch, a local nonprofit that took in about 50 displaced cats and provided medical assessments and safe shelter.

Beyond its online presence, Lady N actively participates in industry events. At the 2025 Sea-Meow Con in Seattle, the brand featured a 2-meter mascot, sponsored a “meow-call” contest with a year’s supply of litter, and set up a public litter station and cat chill zone. The booth showcased its full range of high-clumping tofu litters, including a Taiwan-inspired Boba Tea-scented formula that drew strong interest from attendees. Lady N will next exhibit at the 2026 Global Pet Expo.

“Caring for cats shouldn’t be a compromise—it should be part of a beautiful, harmonious life.” said Naimei Hsu, Brand Manager at Lady N.
