The Wushui River (Wuyang River) in Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture has been successfully selected as one of the Outstanding Cases of Beautiful Rivers and Lakes in China. Since 2019, the water quality in Qiandongnan Prefecture has been among the top 10 in China for six consecutive years. Mr. Wu Hougui, a member of the Loong Boat Team in Ximen Community, Zhenyuan County, said, ‘The Loong Boat Competition tradition can not be inherited for thousands of years without lucid waters and lush mountains.’

Flourishing Green Industries

Guizhou is accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, integrating green and low-carbon concept throughout the entire process of high-quality development. Guizhou has successfully established 85 national level green factories and 22 green industrial parks. The green economy accounts for about 48%.

The first commercial hydrogen locomotive in China has started trial operation on Guizhou Meijin Railway Special Line in Zhongshan District, Liupanshui City, opening up a new path for clean coal transportation. The construction of ‘Electric Guizhou’ has achieved fruitful results. Since the beginning of 2025, a total of 3,054 electric heavy-duty trucks have been promoted and applied in the energy sector, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 332,000 tons.

The forestry has also achieved a huge leap forward. In 2014, the total output value of Guizhou’s forestry was only 60.1 billion yuan, and it exceeded 465.4 billion yuan in 2024. Over the past decade, the forest coverage rate has increased from 49% to 63.3%, with a forest area of 166 million mu.

Innovative Eco-protection System

In 2024, Guizhou took the lead in establishing a unified and standardized mechanism for issuing forestry carbon tickets at the provincial level in China, granting the first batch of 10 provincial forestry carbon tickets and achieving a total of 11 million yuan in transactions. In addition, a total of 120 water rights transactions have been completed, with a transaction volume of 86.0287 million cubic meters, amounting to 31.5387 million yuan.

Public Participation in Eco-construction

Guizhou’s tradition of ‘Tree Planting for New Year Celebrations’ has continued for 11 years, with 605 million more seedlings newly planted here. Since the 14th Five-Year-Plan, Guizhou has shifted its greening focus from ‘coverage expansion’ to ‘quality improvement’. Through projects such as degraded forest restoration and forest nurturing, the forest has been both ‘greened’ and ‘increased in value’.

Meanwhile, with both ‘civil defense and technical defense’, Guizhou has successfully protected the ecological foundation. For instance, there are 87 remote video surveillance points established in Guiyang to prevent forest fire. There are 400 infrared cameras installed to track the rare species in Mount Fanjing and more than 40,000 forest chiefs ready to guard forest resources.

Efficient Resource Utilization and Green Transformation

Guizhou has implemented the strategy of ‘Refined Development of Rich Minerals’ to promote efficient utilization of resources. In the field of phosphorus chemical industry, Qiannan Prefecture has laid out modern chemical and new energy battery material industries, realizing the transformation of phosphorus from ‘fertilizer’ to ‘material’. The total output value of phosphorus based modern chemical and new energy battery materials has exceeded 50 billion yuan. Furthermore, in the field of aluminum industry, Shuicheng Economic Development Zone has achieved 100% in-situ conversion of aluminum liquid, and the number of aluminum related enterprises has increased from 1 in 2016 to 54.

Guizhou is also actively developing the cultural tourism industry and digital economy. The Zhenyuan Loong Boat Race Cultural Festival has unleashed the consumption potential of cultural tourism. During the Loong Boat Festival this year, Zhenyuan County received 253,900 tourists, realizing a total tourism revenue of 234 million yuan. Additionally, Guizhou’s digital economy growth rate has been among the top in the country for 9 consecutive years. There are 48 national key data centers under construction and in operation, making Guizhou one of the regions with the most intelligent computing resources and the strongest capabilities in China.

Passing the Torch to a Trillion-Dollar Future: The 4th China Next-Gen Entrepreneurs Forum Redefines Private Enterprise Succession


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 June 2025 – Amid an era of unprecedented generational transformation, The 4th Forum of the New Generation of Entrepreneurs kicked off on June 17 in Beijing, sparking a groundbreaking dialogue on the future of private enterprise succession in China. Jerry Lu, Chairman of Jinshang Technology Group, set the stage with a powerful and inspiring keynote titled Carry on the Second Half, Writing a New Chapter captivating the audience and setting the tone for this pivotal event.

Jerry Lu delivered an inspiring keynote at the 4th China Next-Gen Entrepreneurs Forum, sharing his journey and insights on generational succession.

The event brought together over 1,000 participants, including distinguished experts such as Ji Weimin, Deputy Director of the Institute of Industrial Economics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and President of China Business Journal, Prof. Peng Qian, Director of Roger King Center for Asian Family Business and Family Office at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, along with representatives from the new generation and private enterprises.

Bridging Generations: From Conflict to Understanding

Jerry Lu’s keynote began with a personal story of accompanying his father on a business trip at age 12, planting the seed of his desire to one day stand shoulder-to-shoulder and lead alongside him.

Jerry Lu reflected on the complexities of generational succession, sharing his personal journey of transformation—from feelings of frustration to a deep sense of understanding, and from reluctantly inheriting a legacy to actively embracing it. He likened the first generation’s contributions to a powerful “threefold fuel”—resources, experience, and spirit—that not only provide a foundation for the next generation but also serve as a launchpad for bold innovation and future growth.

Turning Challenges into Opportunities: 68% Attrition vs. 71.2% Survival

Jerry Lu highlighted critical insights into the generational succession crisis, revealing that 68% of successors forced into leadership roles leave within three years, and only 3% of such businesses survive beyond five generations. In contrast, businesses led by proactive successors boast a remarkable 71.2% survival rate over three generations, underscoring the importance of intentional, forward-thinking leadership transitions.

To address these challenges, Lu outlined five strategic pathways for successful succession: cultural governance, technology-driven transformation, digitalization, industry upgrades, and cross-sector integration.

As a testament to these principles, Lu shared his own approach—leveraging the TOJOY’s Platform to build a comprehensive health and legacy service platform tailored for high-net-worth clients. This integrated innovation model not only harnesses the resources and networks of previous generations but also positions businesses for sustainable growth in a rapidly changing landscape.

Academic and Media Perspectives on Family Business Succession

Ji, a seasoned media expert, shared insights from a decade of research on over 2,000 family businesses across China, identifying three pivotal shifts essential for successful succession. The first shift urges the next generation to move beyond the passive role of “inheritors” and embrace the proactive role of “co-creators,” taking responsibility for driving innovation and growth. The second shift emphasizes the importance of utilizing professional tools, such as insurance and trusts, to effectively protect and transfer family wealth. The third shift highlights the need to establish a sustainable ecosystem by integrating financial tools, family culture, and legal frameworks.

Building on this perspective, Prof. Peng Qian shed light on the growing trend of family businesses transitioning into family offices. She emphasized that the longevity and success of family enterprises rely on shared values, a long-term vision, and strategies focused on creating impact. As family businesses confront challenges like a shortage of successors and intergenerational conflicts, family offices are emerging as a vital solution. These offices not only manage wealth but also foster family unity and uphold values through philanthropy, education, and social impact investments. Peng stressed that this transition is essential for preserving family legacies while ensuring their growth and relevance in an ever-evolving business landscape.

An 84 Trillion Yuan Shift: From Family Mission to National Legacy

Over the next 30 years, approximately 84 trillion yuan in private wealth will transition to the next generation, shaping the backbone of China’s economy. This forum, blending academic research, media insights, and practical case studies, presented a bold new blueprint for succession. With private enterprises contributing over 50% of tax revenue, 60% of GDP, 70% of technological advancements, 80% of employment, and more than 90% of all businesses, the next generation’s responsibility extends far beyond their families—it is deeply tied to the nation’s future. As Jerry remarked, “We inherit a legacy forged by our predecessors’ perseverance, and we write a new chapter under the banner of national rejuvenation.”

A new era of collaboration, innovation, and shared responsibility has begun, paving the way for the future of China’s private economy

The final day of the 9th National Assembly session closed with the approval of a total of ten laws, including five newly drafted and five revised. 

Throughout the 14 days session from 9 to 26 June, members of the Assembly thoroughly reviewed the proposed laws, examining each article to ensure they are complete, consistent, and practical for enforcement by relevant authorities.

The five newly adopted laws focus on key areas of governance and social welfare. These include the Law on Civil Servants of the People’s Prosecutor’s Office, the Law on Social Work, the Law on Cultivation, the Law on General Education, and the Law on Cybersecurity. 

Meanwhile, the five amended laws were introduced to update and strengthen existing legal frameworks. The revisions covered the Law on Medicines and Medical Products, the Law on Irrigation, the Law on Income Tax, the Law on Advertising, and the Law on the People’s Assembly which includes updates to judicial procedures.

According to the Assembly, these amendments are essential for aligning national legislation with current socio-economic conditions and improving regulatory enforcement.

Government Restructuring

Previously, the National Assembly approved a significant cabinet reshuffle to enhance government efficiency by reducing ministries from 17 to 13. 

The reform involved reassigning or replacing nine ministers and appointing Bounkham Vorachit as the new Governor of the Bank of Laos

Major mergers included the Ministry of Planning and Investment combining with Finance under Santiphab Phomvihane, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, creating the new Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, led by Linkham Douangsavanh. The Ministry of Energy and Mines was integrated into the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. 

The Ministry of Home Affairs was dissolved, with its responsibilities transferred to the Prime Minister’s Office, where four ministers, Khamjane Vongphosy, Buakhong Nammavong, Sonexay Sitphaxay, and Sinava Souphanouvong, now serve directly.

Other notable appointments included Thongsalith Mangnomek as Minister of Education and Sports, Baykham Khattiya as Minister of Health, and Bounkham Vorachit as the new Governor of the Bank of the Laos, moving from her previous role as Minister of Natural Resources and Environment.

Several ministers retained their positions, ensuring continuity in key areas. These include Suansavanh Viyaket in Information, Culture and Tourism, Khamlieng Outhakaisone in National Defence, Vilay Lakhamfong in Public Security, Boviengkham Vongdara in Technology and Communications, Phaivi Siboualipha in Justice, and Thongsavanh Phomvihane in Foreign Affairs. Leklay Sivilay succeeded Gnampasong Meuangmany as Minister of Public Works and Transport.

Economic Priorities and Performance

The National Assembly placed strong focus on economic recovery and inflation control, targeting single-digit inflation by the end of 2025. To achieve this, the government is working to stabilize the kip, increase domestic production, and restructure Électricité du Laos (EDL)’s debt. Supporting measures include stricter market regulations, electricity tariff reviews, and improved debt management.

According to the Assembly report, recent data showed positive signs: inflation dropped to 11.76 percent  in the first five months of 2025, compared to 24.77 percent during the same period in 2024. GDP grew by 4.5 percent, with contributions from agriculture (3.3 percent), industry (4.6 percent), services (4.7 percent), and tax revenue (4.4 percent).

To meet the 4.8 percent GDP target, the Assembly highlighted agriculture as a key sector to boost food security and reduce imports. 

Lawmakers also stressed the need for infrastructure investment, especially in road repairs, to improve logistics, lower transport costs, and support growth in tourism and trade.repairs for both national and rural routes. These improvements are expected to enhance logistics efficiency, reduce transportation costs, and boost both tourism and trade sectors, contributing to broader economic recovery.

Social and Regulatory Reforms

The Assembly session also tackled a wide range of pressing social issues, including combating drug abuse, eliminating illegal trade and human trafficking networks, resolving labor shortages across various sectors, enhancing education system quality, reducing traffic accidents, and shutting down illegal entertainment venues that violate national regulations.

The session called for strict measures against non-compliant mining projects and halted approvals for new exploration except construction materials. 

The government committed to improved tax collection and targeted support for vulnerable groups as part of economic recovery efforts.

Tanoto Foundation Backs Landmark Research to Unlock the Code of Asian Prevalent Diseases

Understanding Asian Cancers and Diabetes Through an Asian Lens


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 June 2025 – Tanoto Foundation today announced the funding of two transformative, Singapore-based medical research projects focused on diseases that disproportionately affect Asian populations: prevalent and aggressive cancers, and young-onset Type 2 diabetes. The multi-year initiatives aim to generate data-driven insights that can accelerate diagnosis, improve patient outcomes, and guide public health policy.

Despite global strides in medicine, Asia continues to face rising rates of cancer and diabetes – diseases that are biologically and clinically distinct in Asian populations but remain under-researched due to a lack of region-specific data. The two research projects, from National Cancer Centre Singapore and Singapore General Hospital, will focus on filling these gaps through deep genomic studies and innovative risk-prediction models.

Imelda Tanoto, Member of the Board of Trustees, Tanoto Foundation said: “Singapore is well-positioned to lead in medical science. It has strong research institutions and a population that reflects the diversity of Asia. By supporting researchers here who are focused on health issues that affect Asians, we hope to help drive discoveries that make a real difference to people’s lives — both in Singapore and across the region.”

Tackling Asian-Prevalent Cancers

Led by Dr Jason Chan, Medical Oncologist, National Cancer Centre Singapore, the research will investigate four types of cancers with high prevalence and poor outcomes in Asia:

  • Breast Cancer in Asian Women, marked by earlier onset and biological differences compared to Western populations
  • T/NK-Cell Lymphomas, an aggressive blood cancer dominant in East Asians with limited treatment options
  • Bile Duct Cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma), increasingly linked to environmental exposures specific to Asia
  • Rare Asian Cancers, collectively neglected but accounting for up to 25% of all cases in the region

These cancers are devastating but remain poorly understood because most research has focused on Western populations,” said Dr Chan. “By decoding their molecular and genomic landscapes in Asian patients, we want to uncover new diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities to benefit patients.”

A key feature of the project is its open-access commitment: anonymised data will be freely available to the broader research community to accelerate further discovery and collaboration.

Unmasking Diabetes Risk in Young Singaporeans

The second research project, led by Dr Daphne Gardner, Endocrinologist, Singapore General Hospital, will address the rising incidence of Type 2 diabetes in young adults, particularly prevalent in Singapore, where 1 in 5 young adults have prediabetes or diabetes, despite being of normal weight.

Unlike traditional assessments that rely heavily on BMI and family history, this project will develop a next-generation risk prediction tool by incorporating non-traditional indicators such as body fat distribution, continuous glucose monitoring, and health-seeking behaviour.

“Many young Asians with diabetes don’t fit the usual risk profile. They’re lean, active, and often overlooked by current screening models,” said Dr Gardner. “We want to change that by identifying new risk signals and developing tools that are tailored to Singapore’s population and beyond.”

Findings from the study aim to inform national diabetes screening guidelines and lead to earlier interventions that can curb long-term complications.

Singapore as a Hub for Medical Research Advancement

In addition to previously supported research projects, these two initiatives reflect a growing recognition of Singapore’s role in advancing precision medicine for Asian populations, driven by strong clinical infrastructure, genomic capabilities, and public-private partnerships.

Imelda Tanoto added: “We believe precision health can change how we treat and prevent diseases. We’re supporting researchers who are not only breaking new ground, but also making sure their work reaches people and communities across Asia. This is something deeply personal to us — it’s about improving lives in a way that’s inclusive, meaningful, and lasting.”

This announcement marks a key milestone in Tanoto Foundation’s continuing effort to improve the quality of healthcare and health standards, leading to longer and better healthspans.
