The remark was made by Zhang Zhouhu, general manager of Xifeng, at the 2025 Chishui River Forum held recently in southwest China’sGuizhou Province.
Xifeng Liquor, one of China’s four famous traditional baijiu brands, boasts a liquor-making history of thousands of years and a distinctive Fengxiang aroma profile.
While adhering to the ancient craftmanship, Xifeng has also integrated modern technologies with its liquor-making process, injecting fresh vitality to its heritage craftmanship, said Zhang.
In Xifeng’s smart liquor-making workshop, sensors precisely control and adjust the micro-ecosystem of the liquor brewed with Xifeng’s unique “Laowuzeng” liquor-making process, while the final decision on aging of the liquor will be made by experienced blending masters, Zhang introduced.
Xifeng, with confidence in its craftmanship, has led the formulation of the national standard for the Fengxiang-flavored liquor and established research institute for the security of liquor-making materials and quality, creating a complete industrial system from raw materials to product quality, said Zhang.
The liquor maker has also turned its eyes to the overseas market to cultivate a global liquor brand. Its products have passed the EU’s SGS testing and the FDA certification in the United States, available in over 30 international markets.
Famous liquor wins its name with high quality, brand reputation, distinct characteristics, and more importantly, its commitment to safeguarding the common value of the industry, said Zhang. While Xifeng will continue to be guided by its “Back to First Class” strategy, embracing the “digitalization+culture” pattern and adhering to the original flavor, it will build an open, inclusive and collaborative industrial ecosystem in partnership with its global peers, Zhang noted.
Themed “Interweaving Harmony”, the 2025 Chishui River Forum attracted nearly 400 participants from home and abroad, including representatives of renowned liquor companies and industry experts, to jointly explore the sustainable development of the global liquor industry. The forum was initiated by China Economic Information Service and China Moutai.

BEIJING, Oct. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 2025 Chishui River Forum was held in southwest China’sGuizhou Province on Tuesday with the theme of “Interweaving Harmony”, attracting nearly 400 participants from home and abroad, including representatives of renowned liquor companies and industry experts, to jointly explore the sustainable development of the global liquor industry.
Photo shows a scene of the 2025 Chishui River Forum held in southwest China’s Guizhou Province, October 28, 2025.
Known as “China’s River of Fine Liquor”, the Chishui River basin accounts for over 60 percent of China’s jiangxiangxing (jiang-flavor) baijiu production capacity, encompassing renowned brands such as Moutai, Xijiu, and Langjiu. The traditional brewing wisdom along its banks, coupled with Guizhou’s “industrial symbiosis” development model, offers a unique reference for the global liquor industry’s growth.
The attendees noted that the core value of China’s liquor industry lies in “quality + culture”, and the sector has now entered a 3.0 era of innovation — defined by “cultural appreciation, value appreciation, and lifestyle appreciation”. They emphasized that collective harmony underpins Chinese liquor culture, and symbiosis is the key to the global liquor industry’s sustainable development.
Deepening cross-border cooperation, promoting technological innovation, sharing industry resources, and jointly building quality standards will inject new vitality into the mutual learning of Chinese and foreign liquor cultures, while boosting the high-quality development of the global liquor industry.
The forum also featured thematic sessions and dialogues, fostering in-depth discussions on topics including baijiu application scenario exploration, Gen Z consumer engagement, integration of Chinese and foreign liquor cultures, and digital transformation of the liquor industry.
Two key initiatives were launched at the event, namely the Global Liquor Industry High-Quality Development Promotion Initiative jointly initiated by China Economic Information Service, China Moutai, and prominent Chinese and foreign liquor enterprises, and the Global Fine Wines & Spirits Declaration of Chishui River, aiming to jointly promote the building of an open, inclusive, collaborative, prosperous, and innovative global community with a shared future for the liquor industry.
Additionally, two reports were released: one on the development index of well-known Chinese and global alcoholic beverages, and another on the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) development of the world’s core jiangxiangxing baijiu production area (Renhuai, Guizhou). These reports seek to establish a scientific evaluation system and digital development value benchmark for the global liquor industry, providing support for its growth.
The event was initiated by China Economic Information Service and China Moutai.
Johnny Yang and Chin Yang Devour Their Roles—and Japan’s Food Scene
TOKYO, JAPAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 31 October 2025 – The TVBS original drama The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (舊金山美容院) continues to shine on the international stage. Following successful promotional events in Seoul with lead actors Simon Lien and Nash Zhang, the show’s on-screen rivals Johnny Yang and Chin Yang represented the series at the Tokyo International Film and TV Market (TIFFCOM).
TVBS Original Drama The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Resonates in Tokyo
Supported by Taiwan’s Overseas Star Project under the Ministry of Culture, the duo engaged with Japanese media and international buyers, sharing the series’ unique perspective on modern Taiwanese life. With its compelling storyline, powerful performances, and authentic depiction of everyday culture, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly resonated strongly with Japanese audiences—further cementing TVBS Originals as one of Asia’s leading creative brands.
In the series, Johnny Yang portrays Deng Wei-Kang, the ambitious second son of a powerful family whose reckless affairs—with both a TV executive’s daughter and his own secretary—alongside corrupt dealings with a tainted chicken supplier, spark a scandal that threatens the family’s breakfast-chain empire.
Off-screen, however, the two actors share an easy camaraderie. When asked about their favorite part of the Tokyo trip, both immediately mentioned the food.
“Tokyo is incredibly beautiful—I visited an art museum and went to Hakone,” said Chin Yang. “And the food is just amazing!”
“The best part of this trip,” added Johnny Yang, “was enjoying great meals while bringing a great Taiwanese drama to Japan.”
In the series, Deng Wei-Kang plans to open a Taiwanese breakfast shop in Japan—a storyline that later takes a surprising turn. When asked which Taiwanese dishes could win Japanese hearts, Johnny recommended steamed soup dumplings (xiaolongbao), soy milk, and fried dough sticks as iconic staples of Taiwan’s breakfast culture. Chin Yang suggested savory soy milk, calling it “a special and surprising flavor for Japanese audiences.”
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly premieres October 19 at 8:00 p.m. (GMT+8) on TVBS Channel 42 and TVBS E! on CHT MOD Channel 311, continuing its international journey to share authentic Taiwanese storytelling with the world.

BEIJING, CHINA- Media OutReach Newswire – 31 October 2025– The Annual Conference of Financial Street Forum 2025 was held in Beijing from October 27 to 30. During the four-day agenda, over 400 financial leaders, policymakers and industry experts from more than 30 countries and regions around the world gathered in Beijing’s Financial Street.
The core area of Beijing’s Financial Street, covering an area of 2.59 square kilometers, has witnessed and carried the process and achievements of China’s financial reform and development over the past three decades since it was approved by the State Council of China to be built as a national financial management center. As an important platform for the country’s opening up and development, the Financial Street Forum has been seen as a barometer of China’s financial reform and development. This year, top leaders of China’s financial sectors once again gathered at the opening ceremony of the conference, responding to hot issues from the outside world regarding the current situation of China’s economic development and the trends of the financial market.
At this year’s meeting, a new consumption trend has drawn attention. In recent years, the once-common practice of Chinese shoppers who buy goods overseas and resell them in China, known as daigou in Chinese, has given way to a new trend: more and more international consumers are now buying products from China to take home. This wave is rapidly emerging as a new force in global consumption.
Technology products have become the main items for foreigners to purchase in China. For instance, wireless headphones and phone cases are all bestsellers. Sheikh Fayaz Ahmad, an assistant professor at Zhejiang University International Business School, said in an interview that China has many economical and innovative products, such as vacuum cleaners and basic medical equipment, which he often bought when returning to India from China.
Ma Qing, Chief Representative of the Asia Pacific Region and Head of China Research of the Institute of International Finance (IIF), believed that international consumers buying products from China is actually a form of arbitrage, and the space for arbitrage depends on the price gap. The current situation might be like this: after the United States raised tariffs, the prices of goods in the United States are much higher than those in China, so people buy goods in China and take them to the United States.
