JINCHANG, China, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — During the surge in major project construction in Jinchang City, Gansu Jinchang Power Supply has adopted the “project manager” service model to meet customer needs, provide timely services to users, and help enterprises solve difficulties. While providing technical transformation schemes, it also carries out “one-stop” electricity services for enterprises, popularizes knowledge on the charging method of basic electricity fees for enterprises, guides enterprises to save electricity costs through time-of-use electricity prices, capacity-to-demand conversion and other methods, continuously improves the efficiency of installation and connection, promotes the early power transmission of power supply projects, and enables customers to reach production ahead of schedule, thus contributing to the steady growth of the province’s economy.

At the beginning of the year, Gansu Jinhongxiang New Energy Co., Ltd. officially resumed work and production. Jinchang Power Supply took prompt action, setting up a special service team composed of technical experts from marketing, operations and maintenance and other professions, and took the initiative to connect with the project manager to get involved in the pre-production planning of the project in advance. Members of the service team visited the project site many times, communicated with the project party, learned in detail about the project’s electricity demand, construction progress and production plan, and customized a scientific and reasonable power supply scheme for the project.

JINCHANG, China, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, the large-scale equipment warehouse of Jinchang Power Grid (State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company) welcomed a heavyweight “new member” – the first mobile substation was successfully delivered to the 35kV Qinghe Substation. This marks that Jinchang Power Grid’s emergency response and important load guarantee capabilities have stepped onto a new stage, empowering the “zero-perception” electricity consumption for coping with sudden power outages and ensuring people’s livelihood and industrial use.

The “mobile fortress” solves urgent needs, realizing “zero waiting” for core load transfer. This mobile substation, which integrates cutting-edge technology and practical application, can be called the “rapid response force” of the power grid system. The mobile substation has a capacity of 20 MVA and consists of 2 vehicles. One of the vehicles is loaded with a transformer and a 35kV equipment prefabricated warehouse, and the other is loaded with a 10kV equipment prefabricated warehouse and a secondary equipment prefabricated warehouse. It adopts an advanced quick-plug interface and an intelligent monitoring system, and has two important functions: transferring all loads of 35kV substations under the company’s jurisdiction and transferring loads of 10kV switchgear of 110kV substations. When a substation is out of service due to planned maintenance, sudden failure or natural disaster, it can seamlessly replace the original station and undertake the key task of transferring important loads. The smooth use of the mobile substation will realize the precise and rapid “point-to-point” power supply guarantee for important loads, significantly reduce the user’s power outage time, and greatly enhance the company’s hard strength in fulfilling social responsibilities.

The mobile substation not only serves emergency rescue under extreme disasters, but also will be widely used during the peak summer (winter) period, flexibly put into operation in load-stressed areas to relieve the pressure on the main transformer. In the upgrading and transformation of the power grid, it supports the continuous and reliable power supply during the transformation of old substations. During the transformation of all primary and secondary old equipment in the 35kV Qinghe Substation, the loads of 4 10kV outgoing lines will all be smoothly transferred by the mobile substation, effectively improving the reliability of the company’s power grid supply.

State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company will carry out intensive training and practical drills for professionals simultaneously around this core equipment, improve emergency supporting  plans, ensure that it can “be pulled out, hold up, and supply stably” at critical moments, and inject surging momentum into continuously improving the reliability of the company’s power grid supply.

GUIYANG, China, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from Discover Guizhou: 

“This has been a fruitful and meaningful journey.” After attending the 2024 China-ASEAN Education Cooperation Week, Zhai Zihan, Chairman of the Singapore China Association Youth Chapter, found himself deeply drawn to the event.

As a platform committed to promoting mutual learning and joint development among young people, as well as fostering regional cooperation and shared economic growth between China and ASEAN countries, the China-ASEAN Education Cooperation Week is rich with opportunity and continues to generate expectations.

With 2025 marking the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Singapore, Zhai returned as he had hoped.

From July 24 to 27, the 2025 China-ASEAN Education Cooperation Week was held in Guiyang, Guizhou. Officials, scholars, university faculty and students, and entrepreneurs from China and ASEAN countries gathered to contribute their insights toward building a closer China-ASEAN community with a shared future.

“There are participants from countries, including experts and policymakers. It’s a perfect mix of expertise and wisdom under one roof,” said Shakeel Ahmad, UNDP Deputy Resident Representative in Cambodia, after attending the International Symposium on the Cultivation of High-Level Internationalized Talents.

Ahmad remarked that today’s world is filled with both risks and opportunities. It calls for a diverse and dynamic youth force. In his view, the China-ASEAN Education Cooperation Week provides a platform for dialogue and connection. He believes its impact will continue long after the event concludes.

Centered on the theme of “Smart Education Empowering People-to-People Exchanges, Educational Cooperation Enhancing Common Development,” a series of forums sparked insightful ideas and further expanded the network supporting educational and cultural exchanges between China and ASEAN countries.

“One of the most important aspects of the Belt and Road Initiative is the soft component, where there’s people-to-people exchange. This week, we are talking about that as well,” said Muhammad Ali, Vice Chancellor of the University of the Punjab. During the “Belt and Road” Symposium on Integrating Culture, Tourism and Museums to Boost Guizhou’s Construction as a World-Class Tourism Destination, he joined experts and scholars from China, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and other countries, to explore paths for cultural and tourism integration under the Belt and Road Initiative.

Taking the event as an opportunity, the distance between China, ASEAN countries, BRI countries, and people around the world has drawn closer. Muhammad Ali stated that building on the fruitful outcomes of this event, both sides will further promote exchanges and cooperation between Pakistan and China. “We’ll encourage our students to come and visit Guizhou,” he said to Zhai.

With education as a bridge, students from ASEAN countries have come to China to gain knowledge and pursue their dreams. Here, they have become the “ambassadors” for promoting people-to-people exchanges and economic cooperation.

“I can build a better future in China,” said Indonesian youth Graciello Brandon Zefanya, who came to Guizhou University five years ago to study international trade and business.

Studying in China alongside fellow ASEAN students, Brandon has broadened his horizons and gained lasting friendships, which he sees as vital for his career.

Education is only a start. Providing platforms for cross-cultural exchange and regional dialogue lays the foundation for deeper understanding.

“The current times that we live in serves as a golden opportunity to foster greater ties of cooperation between China and ASEAN, two of the world’s most dynamic regions.” Words like “building connections” and “fostering cooperation” came up frequently in Zhai’s conversations during the 2025 China-ASEAN Education Cooperation Week.

The event highlights China’s role in global education governance and its vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind. Like Zhai Zihan, more ASEAN youth will come with hope to meet like-minded peers, build mutual trust, and work together to create a future of harmony and connection.
