In this age of rapid prototyping and by working and living in beta, is the power of creativity really harnessed by emerging innovations and tech? Or is it borne out of a problem that needs solving? A business problem. A marketing problem. A consumer problem. . From poor consumer perception to aggressive business targets right down to Antman-like budgets, this is where creativity is key. When there’s clarity of what needs to be solved. Sure, sometimes the answer could very well lie in the use of the latest technology . The question to ask though, is, will it have solved the problem at hand or simply added some gloss to one of the 'problem-solving’ deliverables? And sure enough, someone might say...”What’s wrong? At least the campaign will have something to talk about.” And that’s exactly what’s wrong with our industry. Dramatising our creative solutions when in fact they have only served as one of the components that contributes to solving the problem. Why? Because the other components aren’t 'sexy’ or creative enough to be mentioned. Just as there are many people working in communication from frontliners to backend developers, problem-solving is the sum of many parts, many people and ultimately, a collective effort. We should start out by being very clear and mindful of what the problem is, and what is it we’ve set out to solve. And we need to keep reminding ourselves, every step of the way, to ask those questions even while the work’s being developed and even when it’s about to roll out. The problem should always be the root (right up to the trunk and branches) of our creativity. Never lose sight of that., 00029134, 2020-09-21, 301, https://www.brayleinosplash.com.hk/blogs/post/creativity-is-key-but-clarity-is-king.html, www.brayleinosplash.com.hk, Creativity is Key) and 8 missing columns (00005599, NULL, On September 29, 2021, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a phone conversation with the Malaysian and Bruneian foreign ministers, respectively. The three foreign ministers exchanged views on and expressed grave concerns over the tripartite security partnership among the United States, Britain and Australia (AUKUS) and their planned nuclear submarine cooperation. Wang Yi said, in so doing, AUKUS will possibly cause five harms to the region: First, this move may trigger the risk of nuclear proliferation. According to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, non-nuclear-weapon states can only use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes under supervision and safeguards. Nuclear submarines, however, are used for military purposes and are fueled by highly enriched uranium, which can be used directly to build nuclear weapons, while the International Atomic Energy Agency is unable to conduct effective and timely supervision of nuclear submarines. While the United States has imposed unilateral sanctions on countries developing enriched uranium technology, it gave Australia a green light, which will inevitably give rise to the risk of proliferation of nuclear technology and materials and deal a blow to the international nuclear non-proliferation system. Second, the move may induce a new round of arms race. Nuclear submarines are strategic security forces and capable of carrying nuclear weapons. Australia's move will break the strategic balance in the region, make the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty it has signed a mere scrap of paper, and constitute a real threat to countries in the region, not ruling out the possibility that other countries may follow suit to wage a new round of arms race or even cross the nuclear threshold. Third, the move may undermine regional prosperity and stability. Thanks to the concerted efforts of China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) over the years, the region has become the most dynamic and fastest-growing one in the world. We should cherish such hard-won results. However, AUKUS sets on creating regional tensions, casting a shadow over the region's peace, stability, and development. Fourth, the move may sabotage the building of a nuclear-free zone in Southeast Asia. The Treaty on the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone (SEANWFZ Treaty) reflects the common will of the people in Southeast Asian countries, which ought to be understood and respected by other countries. China was the first one among the five countries with nuclear weapons to support the SEANWFZ Treaty and announce its willingness to sign a protocol to this end. The United States and Britain chose not to participate in the SEANWFZ Treaty. Instead, they have transferred military nuclear technology to the region under various pretexts and also provided the region with highly enriched uranium materials, running counter to the efforts made by ASEAN countries to build a nuclear-free zone. Fifth, the move may lead to the resurgence of the Cold War mentality. Just like the Quad that groups the United States, Japan, India, and Australia, AUKUS is also subservient to and serves the U.S.-led Indo-Pacific strategy, seeking to go its own way and start all over again, with an eye to provoking rivalry among different sides in the region and ushering in geopolitical zero-sum games.

Xi Jinping pointed out, since the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Israel, the friendship between the two peoples has been deepened day by day and bilateral relations have made significant progress. Since the establishment of the innovative comprehensive partnership between the two countries in 2017, exchanges and cooperation in various fields have been fruitful, bringing tangible benefits to the two peoples. I attach great importance to the development of China-Israel relations, and stand ready to work with President Herzog to take the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries as an opportunity to enhance political mutual trust, deepen win-win cooperation, expand cultural and people-to-people exchanges, and promote the stable development of China-Israel innovative comprehensive partnership to the benefit of the two countries and two peoples.

The cooperation between the two sides in fields such as economy, agriculture, health, tourism and culture has yielded fruitful results, benefiting the two peoples. I attach great importance to the Israel-China innovative comprehensive partnership, and look forward to further promoting the development of Israel-China relations during my term of office.

Xi Jinping pointed out that it gives me great pleasure to meet our distinguished guests and old and new friends attending the fourth CIIE online in this cloud meeting. China is a firm believer in honoring its words with actions. The measures I announced at the third CIIE for further opening up have mostly been implemented. China has overcome the impact of COVID-19 to achieve innovative growth in foreign trade. As the only major economy to register positive growth of trade in goods last year, China has made important contributions to keeping global industrial and supply chains stable and boosting world economic recovery. As we speak, economic globalization is facing headwinds. For a boat to sail upstream, it has to forge ahead or be driven backward. We must stay on top of the prevailing trend of economic globalization, and support countries around the world in opening up wider while rejecting unilateralism and protectionism. This is significantly important if we are to take humanity to a better future. Xi Jinping stressed that opening up is the hallmark of contemporary China. This year marks the 20th anniversary of China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). Over the last two decades, China has fully delivered on its accession commitments. China has kept opening wider to the world, thus generating a new wave of domestic development while injecting fresh impetus into the world economy. The past 20 years have witnessed a China deepening reform and pursuing all-round opening up, a China seizing opportunities and rising to challenges, and a China stepping up to its responsibilities and benefiting the whole world. China's development and progress in the past 20 years is the result of much hard work and great tenacity of the Chinese people under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China. It is also the result of China's proactive steps to strengthen international cooperation and pursue win-win cooperation. I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to all Chinese and foreign friends from different social sectors for taking part in and witnessing this historic process and for supporting China's opening up and development endeavor. Xi Jinping emphasized that ancient Chinese observed, "One can tell the inside of a thing by observing its outside and see the future development by reviewing the past." For any country or nation to thrive, it must follow the logic of history and develop in line with the trend of the times. As for China, we will not change our resolve to open wider at a high standard; we will not change our determination to share development opportunities with the rest of the world; and we will not change our commitment to an economic globalization that is more open, inclusive, balanced and beneficial for all. First, China will firmly safeguard true multilateralism. The multilateral trading regime with the WTO at its core is the cornerstone of international trade. China supports the WTO reform in moving in the right direction. We support the inclusive development of the multilateral trading regime, as well as the legitimate rights and interests of the developing members. China will take an active and open attitude in negotiations on issues such as the digital economy, trade and the environment, industrial subsidies and state-owned enterprises, uphold the position of the multilateral trading regime as the main channel for international rules-setting, and safeguard the stability of global industrial and supply chains. Second, China will firmly share market opportunities with the rest of the world. China will lay more emphasis on expanding import, and pursue balanced development of trade. China will open more demonstration zones for creative promotion of import trade, optimize the catalogue of retail imports via cross-border e-commerce, encourage the on-site processing of imported goods from trading between border residents, and increase imports from neighboring countries. China will better integrate its domestic and foreign trade, speed up the development of international consumption center cities, promote Silk Road e-commerce, build modern logistics systems, and shore up the capacity of cross-border logistics. Third, China will firmly promote high-standard opening up. China will further shorten the negative list for foreign investment, and expand the opening of telecommunication, healthcare and other services in an orderly fashion. China will revise and enlarge the encouraged industry catalogue and release a negative list for cross-border trade in services in the pilot free trade zones. China will deeply engage in international cooperation on green and low-carbon development and the digital economy, and work actively for joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement. Fourth, China will firmly uphold the common interests of the world. China will take an active part in cooperation within the United Nations, the WTO, the G20, APEC, Shanghai Cooperation Organization and other institutions, and promote more discussions on such issues as trade and investment, the digital economy, and green and low-carbon development. China will support the fair distribution of and unimpeded trade in vaccines and other key medical supplies across the world. China will promote high-quality Belt and Road cooperation. China will actively join in global efforts to tackle climate change and safeguard food and energy security, and provide more assistance to fellow developing countries within the framework of South-South cooperation. Xi Jinping concluded his speech by citing a Chinese proverb, which reads "The going may be tough when one walks alone, but it gets easier when people walk together." As the pandemic continues to wreak havoc and the global economy faces a bumpy recovery, it is all the more imperative that people around the world pull together to tide over this difficult time. China stands ready to work with all countries to build an open world economy so that the spring breeze of openness will bring warmth to all parts of the world. |

Xi Jinping said that it's delightful to have this phone conversation with General Secretary Comrade Nguyen Phu Trong before China's National Day. Since the beginning of this year, I have kept close exchanges with General Secretary Comrade Nguyen Phu Trong in many ways to deepen strategic mutual trust between the two parties and two countries, enhance the traditional friendship, and jointly steer bilateral relations towards a long and steady path under new circumstances. Xi Jinping pointed out that China and Vietnam are socialist neighboring countries connected by shared mountains and rivers, and constitute a strategic community with a shared future. Under the complicated circumstances of overlapping changes and a global pandemic both unseen in a century, the two sides have many common interests and concerns. We must advance along the right track, enhance solidarity and cooperation, further promote socialist causes, effectively safeguard the fundamental interests of the two parties, two countries and two peoples, and make positive contributions to regional and global peace and development. Xi Jinping stressed that it serves both sides' fundamental and strategic interests to safeguard the Communist Party's governance and the institution of socialism. China firmly supports Comrade General Secretary in leading the CPV and the Vietnamese people to follow the socialist path that suits its national conditions and achieve the development goals established at the CPV's 13th National Congress. The two sides need to carry out institutional exchanges such as theoretical discussion, official training, and cooperation among local party committees, enhance the exchanges and mutual learning between counterpart departments of the two parties and two countries, and strengthen the guidance on public opinions. The two sides need to accelerate the alignment of development strategies, create new cooperation highlights, and bring a greater sense of benefit to the two peoples. China firmly supports Vietnam in overcoming the pandemic and promoting economic and social development. The two sides must enhance coordination and cooperation in international and regional affairs, maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, oppose politicizing the origins tracing of COVID-19, practice true multilateralism, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. Nguyen Phu Trong warmly congratulated on the successful celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC and the upcoming 72nd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC). He spoke highly of the great achievements China has made under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core since the founding of the CPC and the PRC 100 years and 70-odd years ago, respectively, especially since the 18th National Congress of the CPC. He also believes that China will achieve remarkable results on a new journey toward fully building a modern socialist country. Nguyen Phu Trong said that the relations between the two parties and two countries are maintaining good momentum, with close high-level exchanges and rapid growth in economic and trade cooperation. Vietnam attaches great importance to the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership and always regards it as a top priority. Vietnam is grateful for China's valuable support and assistance for its fight against the pandemic and its recovery of economic and social activities. The CPV stands ready to enhance inter-party exchanges with the CPC, strengthen political mutual trust, deepen experience sharing of party and state governance, boost mutually beneficial cooperation in economy, trade, COVID-19 response, cultural exchanges, local government and other fields, advance the socialist causes of both sides and bilateral relations, and jointly promote peace and stability in the region and the whole world. |

Xi Jinping pointed out that China attaches great importance to developing relations with France. Since last year, we have maintained contact in various ways, and the important consensus reached on bilateral relations is being effectively implemented and important progress has been made. Currently, the international situation is changing rapidly. Maintaining timely communication and coordination on major issues will help steer the direction of China-France relations and inject more stability into the world. Xi Jinping stressed that China and France, on condition of effective pandemic prevention and control, should advance relevant cooperation, consolidate cooperation in such traditional areas as civil nuclear energy, aviation and aerospace, and expand cooperation in such new fields as artificial intelligence, biopharmacy and ocean affairs. China is ready to work with France to continue cooperation on biodiversity conservation, deepen green cooperation, implement the Global Development Initiative, and carry out tripartite cooperation in Africa and other regions. China and France also need to support each other in hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Paris Olympics. Xi Jinping stressed that the multiple major international events of late have once again demonstrated that France is correct in advocating the strategic autonomy of the European Union (EU). China and the EU need to continue high-level communication and dialogue, enhance mutual understanding and trust, and reduce misunderstandings and misjudgments. The two sides should also properly manage differences, and strengthen political guidance for China-EU ties, so as to ensure steady and sustained development of bilateral relations. The two sides should focus on the needs of the enterprises and people, further tap the cooperation potential in such areas as connectivity, digital technology, environmental protection, scientific and technological innovation and health care, and expand the scope of China-EU cooperation. China hopes that France will play a positive role in promoting the sound and stable development of China-EU relations. Macron congratulated China on successfully hosting the leaders' summit of the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in Kunming. France is firmly committed to promoting the development of EU-China relations in a constructive manner, and is dedicated to properly managing and resolving differences as well as deepening EU-China cooperation in such areas as economy, trade, climate change and biodiversity conservation by strengthening dialogue at all levels. France hopes to strengthen coordination with China on the Group of 20 Leaders' Summit in Italy and the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Glasgow. The French side is ready to work with China to push for more results in bilateral practical cooperation in relevant areas and hopes that the EU-China investment agreement will come into force at an early date. France supports China in successfully hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics. I am looking forward to maintaining close communication with you on France-China and EU-China relations as well as important issues of common concern. |

Wang Yi conveyed cordial greetings from President Xi Jinping to Joko Widodo and expressed his condolences over the recent crash of an Indonesian passenger plane. Wang Yi said that China and Indonesia are both major developing countries and emerging economies. The cooperation between the two countries bears strategic significance and global influence. The two heads of state have maintained close communication since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, providing strategic guidance for the joint fight against the pandemic and the development of bilateral relations. The two sides actively synergized the Belt and Road Initiative and the vision of Global Maritime Fulcrum and achieved great progress in bilateral cooperation, demonstrating strong resilience and enormous potential of China-Indonesia cooperation despite the pandemic. China is ready to jointly implement the consensus of the two heads of state with Indonesia, and push for greater development of bilateral relations in the post-pandemic era, based on the main themes of solidarity against COVID-19 and development cooperation. Wang Yi said that the two countries have successfully conducted Phase 3 clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines and their emergency use, setting an example of cooperation on vaccines among regional and developing countries. President Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed that the pandemic is a common enemy for all mankind and unity and cooperation are the most potent weapon against it. Despite the mounting domestic demand of the vaccines, China is willing to continue supporting enterprises from both countries in vaccine production and purchase cooperation so as to jointly promote the accessibility and affordability of COVID-19 vaccines for developing countries and advance the building of a global community of health for all. China is ready to join hands with Indonesia to promote Belt and Road cooperation of high quality, facilitate the construction of large projects such as the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway and the regional comprehensive economic corridor, and enhance cooperation in scientific and technological innovation to keep pace with the fourth industrial revolution and create new sources of growth in sectors of 5G, big data and e-commerce. Wang Yi said that China values Indonesia's important status and role within the ASEAN and is willing to work with Indonesia, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the China-ASEAN dialogue relations this year, to elevate China-ASEAN relations, forge the Blue Economy Partnership and facilitate the enforcement of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership at an early date. China supports Indonesia in assuming G20 presidency in 2022. China stands ready to work with Indonesia to jointly adhere to open and inclusive multilateralism, uphold international fairness and justice, and push for global governance in the post-pandemic era as responsible major developing countries. Joko Widodo asked Wang Yi to extend warm greetings and best wishes for President Xi Jinping. He said that two countries have enjoyed sound development of relations, and achieved remarkable results in public health cooperation during the pandemic. The COVID-19 vaccines provided by China have arrived in Indonesia. As the first recipient of China's COVID-19 vaccines, Joko Widodo expressed his gratitude to China for the strong support. Indonesia is willing to enhance cooperation with China, expedite synergy between the development strategies of the two countries and actively promote cooperation in key projects such as the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway. He hopes the two sides will further deepen cooperation in trade, investment, finance, culture and other fields. Indonesia is willing to make joint efforts with China to practice multilateralism and promote regional peace and development. During his visit to Indonesia, Wang Yi also held talks with Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi and jointly met with the press. He met with Indonesia's Coordinator for Cooperation with China and Coordinating Minister Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan as well. |

Wang Yi said that in face of the unprecedented common challenges of the global pandemic, economic recession and climate change, humanity must stand up to them with courage, solidarity and responsibility. As two major countries, China and the United States should first take care of their own stuff and at the same time work together for the common good of humankind. This is the expectation of the international community and the due responsibility of major countries. On the Lunar New Year's eve, President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden had their first telephone call. Both sides agreed that the two countries should enhance mutual understanding, avoid misperception and miscalculation, treat each other with candor and sincerity and not seek conflict or confrontation, and unclog communication channels and facilitate exchange and cooperation. This very important phone call has oriented China-U.S. relations that had been struggling to ascertain its bearings at a crossroads. It has also sent out encouraging news for the two countries and the whole world. Wang Yi said that in the past few years, China-U.S. relations ran into the biggest difficulties since the establishment of diplomatic ties. The root cause was that the previous U.S. administration, out of its own political needs, seriously distorted China's future path and policy, and on that basis, took various measures to suppress and contain China, which inflicted immeasurable damage to bilateral relations. To right the wrongs and bring the relationship back to the right track, the walls of misperceptions must be torn down first to clear the way for knowing, observing, and understanding China as it is. Wang Yi said that China is a country that always upholds and promotes people's democracy. Democracy is a common value of humanity. There is no fixed model of or standard answer to how to realize democracy. True democracy must be rooted in the realities of a country and serve its people. The socialist democracy practiced by China upholds the organic unity of the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the running of the country by the people, and law-based governance. It is a whole-process and the most representative democracy which embodies the will of the people and fits the country's realities. It is thus endorsed by the people, and has made special, important contributions to the progress of political civilization of humankind. China is a country that is always committed to protecting and promoting human rights. China takes a people-centered approach to human rights and believes that the rights to subsistence and development are basic human rights of paramount importance. We strive for comprehensive and coordinated development of economic, social and cultural rights as well as civil and political rights. We have eliminated abject poverty for the first time in China's thousands years of history. Places inhabited by ethnic minorities, such as Xinjiang and Tibet, have stood out as shining examples of China's human rights progress. China is a country that always values and safeguards world peace. China has benefited from world peace in its development, and has contributed to world peace in turn with its development. We didn't provoke any war or occupy one inch of foreign territory. We seek to settle differences through dialogue and resolve disputes through negotiation. We have no intention to export ideology. Nor do we attempt to overturn the government of any country. We always stay on the new path of state-to-state relations to seek dialogue instead of confrontation and teaming up instead of ganging up. China is a country that always advocates and pursues win-win cooperation. We believe in shared interests and common good. We help fellow developing countries with sincerity and good faith, and we do not attach political strings or impose our wills. China is fostering a new development paradigm, and advancing opening-up at a higher level. This means a bigger market and more development opportunities for other countries. China is a country that always practices and upholds multilateralism. During the five decades since China restored its lawful seat at the United Nations, we have upheld the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and firmly promoted greater democracy in international relations. We never seek to form small circles targeted at other countries. We never take actions unilaterally outside the authorization by the UN. We take concrete actions to uphold the basic norms of international relations and safeguard the common interests of developing countries. Wang Yi said that new U.S. administration is now reviewing and assessing its foreign policy. We hope that the U.S. side will keep pace with the time, see clearly the trend of the world, abandon biases, give up unwarranted suspicions, and move to bring the China policy back to reason to ensure a healthy and steady development of China-U.S. relations. Fifty years ago, with extraordinary political resolve, leaders of China and the United States jointly reopened the door of interaction which had been closed for decades. Fifty years later today, we must, with the sense of responsibility for the two countries and the world, make once again the sensible and right decision. Wang Yi put forward the following four recommendations of how to bring China-U.S. relations back to the right track. First, it is important to respect each other and not to interfere in each other's internal affairs. China has all along respected the choices made by the American people. We have no intention to challenge or replace the United States. We are ready to have peaceful coexistence and seek common development with the United States. We hope the United States will respect China's core interests, national dignity, and rights to development. We urge the United States to stop smearing the CPC and China's political system, stop conniving at or even supporting the erroneous words and actions of separatist forces for "Taiwan independence", and stop undermining China's sovereignty and security on internal affairs concerning Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet. Second, it is important to step up dialogue and properly manage the differences. Both sides should follow up on the phone call between the two Presidents on the eve of the Chinese New Year, act in the fundamental interests of the two peoples, take a forward-looking, open-minded and inclusive attitude, and reactivate or establish dialogue mechanisms in various areas and at various levels. The two sides should engage in candid dialogues on a broad range of issues in bilateral relations and on major regional and international issues, so as to get a clear understanding of each other's policy intentions, sort out the critical issues in China-U.S. relations, and explore effective ways to manage sensitive issues, ward off risks and remove obstacles. China stands ready to have candid communication with the U.S. side, and engage in dialogues aimed at solving problems. Third, it is important to move in the same direction to restart mutually beneficial cooperation. With regional hotspot issues and global challenges emerging one after another, areas for China-U.S. cooperation are expanding rather than shrinking, and the prospects for interaction are broadening rather than narrowing. More than ever China and the United States are more capable of getting big things done to the benefit of the two countries and the world at large. Under the current circumstances, the two sides may start from easier things, interact actively, and build up goodwill. We hope that the U.S. side will adjust its policies as soon as possible, among others, remove unreasonable tariffs on Chinese goods, lift its unilateral sanctions on Chinese companies and research and educational institutes, and abandon irrational suppression of China's technological progress, so as to create necessary conditions for China-U.S. cooperation. COVID-19, climate change and world economic recovery are the three most pressing tasks for the international community. China is ready to coordinate policies and work with the United States in these three areas for the good of the whole world. Fourth, it is important to clear the path for the resumption of bilateral exchanges in all areas. The people-to-people exchanges between the two countries should stay immune to the ups and downs in the political dimension of the relations. We hope that the U.S. side will act as early as possible to lift its restrictions on Chinese educational and cultural groups, media outlets and institutions for overseas Chinese affairs in the United States, remove its obstructions for U.S. subnational governments and social sectors to engage with China, and encourage and support the resumption of normal exchange programs between universities, research institutes and of students. China is ready to work with the United States with an open mind to build a good environment for people-to-people exchanges. Wang Yi said that the future of China-U.S. relationship is in the hands of the two peoples. Its improvement always requires support of the two societies. He hopes that the two sides will work together to steer the giant ship of China-U.S. relations back to the course of sound development toward a bright future with boundless prospects. The forum was co-organized by China Public Diplomacy Association (CPDA), Peking University and Renmin University of China. President of CPDA Wu Hailong presided over the opening ceremony. Representatives from various sectors, including Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai, Director of the Center for International Security and Strategy at Tsinghua University (CISS) and former Vice Foreign Minister Fu Ying, President of Peking University Hao Ping, former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson, President of the Asia Society Kevin Rudd, former U.S. trade representative Carla Hills, Chairman and CEO of Starr Companies Maurice R. Greenberg, and other former government officials, experts, scholars from both sides attended the event and held in-depth discussions on the topics of "reshaping political mutual trust", "rebuilding economic and trade balance" and "restarting cultural exchanges". |

Xi Jinping pointed out, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chinese and Angolan governments effectively controlled the spread of the virus by taking resolute and decisive measures based on the principles of putting people first and putting life first. Both sides have supported and helped each other, and the nationals of the two countries in each other's countries have been well taken care of. The Chinese side is willing to continue providing assistance for Angola to the best of its ability and will send an anti-epidemic medical expert group to Angola in the near future. The Chinese side is willing to give priority to sharing with African countries after its vaccine research and development is successful and put into use. Xi Jinping stressed, Angola is an important cooperative partner of China in Africa. China and Angola are good brothers and partners of sincerity, real results, affinity and good faith. The Chinese side supports the Angolan side in independently exploring a development path suited to its national conditions and stands ready to work with Angola to steer the direction of bilateral relations and take the China-Angola strategic partnership to a higher level. The economies of the two countries are highly complementary. The Chinese side is willing to promote cooperation on the resumption of work and production with the Angolan side on the basis of sound epidemic prevention and control, encourage competent Chinese enterprises to undertake investment cooperation in Angola, promote new development in practical cooperation between the two countries, and boost Angola's economic and social development. The Chinese side is ready to closely coordinate and cooperate with the Angolan side on multilateral occasions and international affairs, jointly safeguard international fairness and justice, and defend multilateralism and the common interests of developing countries. Joao Lourenco wished the Chinese people a happy National Day holiday. He said, China is the only major country that has put the epidemic under effective control in a short span of time. The Angolan side thanks the Chinese side for providing assistance for Angola and other African countries in the fight against the pandemic, and expects to strengthen cooperation with the Chinese side in areas such as vaccines. Attaching great importance to the high-level relationship and profound friendship with China, the Angolan side firmly supports the Chinese side's position on issues concerning its core interests and welcomes more investment from Chinese enterprises in Angola and broader bilateral cooperation in such fields as economy and trade. The Angolan side is willing to strengthen mutual support with the Chinese side in international affairs and jointly safeguard international fairness and justice. |

China is ready to stand firmly with Libya, jointly uphold the basic norm of non-interference in international relations, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of China and Libya as well as the common interests of developing countries. Wang Yi said, the political process in Libya is now at a critical stage. Peace has been hard-won. He hopes all Libyan parties can overcome disruptions and difficulties, unswervingly advance the political settlement process. All countries should earnestly implement the "Libyan-owned and Libyan-led" principle, respect the choice of the Libyan people and accommodate Libya's legitimate concerns and appeals. The UN should continue to play its role as the main channel of mediation, fully listen to the voices of all factions in Libya and that of neighboring countries. All countries should further strengthen cooperation and intelligence exchange on counter-terrorism, strictly prevent the cross-border movement of terrorists and prevent the resurgence of extremist and terrorist forces in Libya. Menfi said, Libya and China have enjoyed friendly relations for a long time. China is a true partner and friend of Libya. He thanks China for always supporting the choice of the Libyan people and providing valuable support to the formation of a government that enjoys national unity in Libya. The fruitful achievements from practical cooperation between Libya and China have played an important role in boosting Libya's economic development and maintaining social stability. Libya is ready to work with China to bring a more promising future for bilateral relations. |

These fixtures aid navigation in the corridors with bright, comfortable light. In addition, the tubes offer flicker-free performance, consume minimal energy, and last three times longer than fluorescent ones. We also installed 944 LuxSpace and 577 Luxspace mini in the corridors. The new fixtures will deliver ongoing energy savings for many years without maintenance.The upgrades continued in the bathrooms and toilets, where we installed 78 LuxSpace Compact Power downlights. For general lighting in other areas, we installed 1,000 MASTER LEDspot GU 5.3 lamps. The new fixtures deliver the high quality light needed for staff visibility, while providing a comforting ambience for patients and visitors. With all requirements met, hospital lighting is helping the healing process for people every day. Since making the switch to LED, energy consumption in the refurbished areas has fallen by a substantial 1,172,290 kWh annually (21%). Overall savings for the hospital are in the region of €164,120, and CO2 emissions have been greatly reduced. In addition, with LED lamps offering 50,000 hours use, maintenance costs are lowered and disruptions minimized. |

00088543 | null | 473 | hk | G | artplusshanghai.cn | http://artplusshanghai.cn/a/Jiang-Yifan.html | Jiang Yifan | Born in Xinjiang, China in 1992, Jiang Yifan began to pursue her artistic career in Beijing where she graduated from the Art College of Renmin University of China. She has also obtained his Master’s degree from the same university. She works and lives in Beijing. Jiang Yifan’s works have been exhibited in China. Notable exhibitions include a solo show “Monodrama” Jiang Yifan Solo Exhibition, Mountain Art Beijing & Frank Lin Art Center, Beijing and group shows as “Yu”, Art Museum of Renmin University of China, Beijing, Art Nova 100 artist, Guardian Art Center, Beijing and Transboundary Ink and Water, Art Museum of Renmin University of China, Beijing among others. In Jiang Yifan works, a delicate and contemporary breath of air passes through these characteristic landscapes, representing an artistic tradition that goes back for thousands of years, from the Song and Yuan dynasties, and carries them back all the way to us. Inspired by traditional Chinese painting, Jiang Yifan builds a personal theatre. From classical scenes, she transports us into a secret world, tinged with poetry, and often bordering on the surreal. By using the natural elements, so inseparable from traditional Chinese painting - the mountains, the rivers, the sea - the artist shows her desire to evolve in a framework which is attached to the past, to her own culture. "My in-depth study of Chinese art at university has influenced my artistic style. When I looked at these ancient works, explored these mountains and rivers, these temples, with artists who came before me, a different way of combining them came to mind. " The space beyond the frame is central to Jiang Yifan's work. Like a show, her painting is in movement, and carries an echo far beyond itself... The technique chosen by the artist reinforces its " hectic ", living aspect. The silk, its slippery, elusive aspect, vibrates at the slightest rustle of air... The spectator's body is involved, since a strong desire to pull aside the painted curtain brings them to the unveiled work, to the story that is unfolding. What is that woman looking at in the far distance, perched on her horse? Where are the singers that the chairs seem to be waiting for? Is the event taking place somewhere else? Nature, through work, is pared down. With Jiang Yifan's brushstrokes, the lines simplify, curve and soften... The details are smoothed over, until all traces of change are erased. But the artist is not content with revisiting these totems of the past, she also introduces into the middle of her scenes, incongruous elements - chairs and microphones placed on the sea, for example - which create absurd sequences, on the edge of dreams. The proportions make a mockery of reality... The characters are reminiscent of the style of the Colombian painter Fernando Botero, with their round and voluptuous forms and their lack of feeling.

Our algorithm analyzes the input image and infers a parametric L-system that represents it ( d is the size of the detected structure and R is the scaling factor). The L-system represents the input and can be also used to produce its variations (right). Abstract We introduce an inverse procedural modeling approach that learns L-system representations of pixel images with branching structures. Our fully automatic model generates a compact set of textual rewriting rules that describe the input. We use deep learning to discover atomic structures such as line segments or branchings. Orientation and scaling of these structures are determined and the detected structures are combined into a tree. The initial representation is analyzed, and repeating parts are encoded into a small grammar by using greedy optimization while the user can control the size of the detected rules. The output is an L-system that represents the input image as a simple text and a set of terminal symbols.We apply our approach to a variety of examples, demonstrate its robustness against noise and blur, and we show that it can detect user sketches and complex input structures. Fig. 2. Overview: During training, we generate large sets of data to train a CNN in order to detect atomic structures in an input image. During the subsequent inference based on the input data, the CNN detects atomic elements in an image, their transformations are determined and organized into a tree-like structure that is then combined into an output grammar using optimization.

Ho 3 Hao Wang 2 Taku Komura 4 Daniel Cohen-Or 2,5 Hao Zhang 1 1 Simon Fraser University 2 Shenzhen University 3 Northumbria University 4 Edinburgh University 5 Tel Aviv University Abstract We introduce a data-driven method to generate a large number of plausible, closely interacting 3D human pose-pairs, for a given motion category, e.g., wrestling or salsa dance. With much difficulty in acquiring close interactions using 3D sensors, our approach utilizes abundant existing video data which cover many human activities. Instead of treating the data generation problem as one of reconstruction, either through 3D acquisition or direct 2D-to-3D data lifting from video annotations, we present a solution based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling. Given a motion category and a set of video frames depicting the motion with the 2D pose-pair in each frame annotated, we start the sampling with one or few seed 3D pose-pairs which are manually created based on the target motion category. The initial set is then augmented by MCMC sampling around the seeds, via the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and guided by a probability density function (PDF) that is defined by two terms to bias the sampling towards 3D pose-pairs that are physically valid and plausible for the motion category. With a focus on efficient sampling over the space of close interactions, rather than pose spaces, we develop a novel representation called interaction coordinates (IC) to encode both poses and their interactions in an integrated manner. Plausibility of a 3D pose-pair is then defined based on the IC and with respect to the annotated 2D pose-pairs from video. We show that our sampling-based approach is able to efficiently synthesize a large volume of plausible, closely interacting 3D pose-pairs which provide a good coverage of the input 2D pose-pairs. 。。。。 Figure 1. Closely interacting 3D wrestling poses automatically generated by MCMC sampling from a single seed pose (center). Figure 2. Direct 2D-to-3D lifting (second and third rows) vs. our approach (bottom) for the wrestling motion. Top row shows the annotated posepairs in video, as input to direct 2D-to-3D lifting in second row [10] and third row [11]. Results in the bottom row are retrieved samples generated by our method, whose projections are close to the respective 2D posepairs in the top row. Quality and plausibility of the close interactions can be contrasted by focusing on the circled regions. Figure 3. Overview of our 3D pose-pair generation via lifting-by-sampling. Figure 6. Ablation study of different terms in our probability density function that controls the MCMC sampling for Judo interactions. The 3D pose-pairs shown on the right, for each version of the PDF, represent the 200-th, 400-th, 600-th, and 800-th samples, respectively. To visually validate the results in (c), we also show examples of 2D annotations which contributed to the likelihood term in the bottom row (d). Figure 7. With an unbiased proposal function, the sampling algorithm tends to produce more diverse but less plausible pose-pairs. The first row shows the 200-th, 400-th, 600-th, and 800-th samples generated from the same seed shown in Figure 6(a). The second row shows examples of 2D annotations that contribute to the likelihood term. 。。。 Figure 10.

For a clear assessment of the comparisons, we also show 2D annotations (a) and our results (d) that are the same as shown in Figure 2. Figure 11. From a single seed, our sampling schema produces diverse pose-pairs of wrestling. Three closest 2D annotations are provided to the right side of each sampled 3D pose-pair to demonstrate its validity.

(b) separating the artistic decorations, the visual information flow of the infographic connects the visual groups of data elements in narrative order, hinted by explicit graphics (e.g., digits here) and implicit Gestalt principles. Abstract Infographics are engaging visual representations that tell an informative story using a fusion of data and graphical elements. The large variety of infographic design poses a challenge for their high-level analysis. We use the concept of Visual Information Flow (VIF), which is the underlying semantic structure that links graphical elements to convey the information and story to the user. To explore VIF, we collected a repository of over 13K infographics. We use a deep neural network to identify visual elements related to information, agnostic to their various artistic appearances. We construct the VIF by automatically chaining these visual elements together based on Gestalt principles. Using this analysis, we characterize the VIF design space by a taxonomy of 12 different design patterns. Exploring in a real-world infographic dataset, we discuss the design space and potentials of VIF in light of this taxonomy. Figure 3. VIF Construction Pipeline: using manually labeled infographics as training data, we use a deep neural network to detect visual data elements, leaving aside artistic elements. We run multiple passes to trace and score different information flows based on Gestalt principles, and then we pick the best one. Figure 4. Output of Element Extraction: data elements are extracted at high precision (a, b), with (c) false positives, e.g., the home button, and (d) some misses, e.g., '$’ icon. Figure 5.

But for a complex style (bottom row in (a)), both WCT and Avatar-Net distort the spatial structures and fail to preserve texture consistency, our method, however, still performs well. Different from the existing methods, our proposed model achieves style transfer by a coarse-to-fine refinement. One can see that, from left to right in (b), finer details arise more and more along with the refinements. See the close-up views in our supplementary material for a better visualization. Abstract Numerous valuable efforts have been devoted to achieve arbitrary style transfer since the seminal work of Gatys et al. However, existing state-of-the-art approaches often generate insufficiently stylized results under challenging cases. We believe a fundamental reason is that these approaches try to generate the stylized result in a single shot and hence fail to fully satisfy the constraints on semantic structures in the content images and style patterns in the style images. Inspired by the works on error-correction, instead we propose a self-correcting model to predict what is wrong with the current stylized result and refine it iteratively. For each refinement, we transit the error features across both the spatial and scale domain and invert the processed features into a residual image, with a network we call Error Transition Network (ETNet). The proposed model improves over the stateof- the-art methods with better semantic structures and more adaptive style pattern details. Various qualitative and quantitative experiments show that the key concept of both progressive strategy and error-correction yield better results. Figure 2: Framework of our proposed stylization procedure. We start with a zero vector to represent the initial stylized image, i.e. ^I 3 cs = 0. Together with downsampled input content-style image pair (I 3 c and I 3 s ), it is fed into the residual image generator ETNet 3 to generate a residual image I 3 h . The sum of I 3 h and ^I 3 cs gives us the updated stylized image I 3 cs , which is then upsampled into ^I 2 cs . This process is repeated across two subsequent levels to yield a final stylized image I 1 cs with full resolution. Figure 3: Error Transition network (a) and the detailed architecture of error propagation block (b). For ETNet, the input images include a content-style image pair (I c , I s ) and an intermediate stylization (^I cs ). The two encoders extract deep features {f i in }, and error features Δ E 4 c and { Δ E i s } respectively. After the fusion of Δ E 4 c and Δ E 4 s , we input the fused error feature Δ E 4 , together with f 4 in into a non-local block to compute a global residual feature Δ D 4 . Then both Δ D 4 and Δ E 4 are fed to a series of error propagation blocks to further receive lower-level information until we get the residual image I h . Finally, we add I h to ^I cs and output the refined image I cs . Figure 4: Ablation study on explicit error computation. Our full model is successful in reducing artifacts and synthesize texture patterns more faithful to the style image. Better zoom for more details. Figure 5: Ablation study on the effect of current stylized results in computing residual images. Table 1: Ablation study on multiple refinements, the effect of error computation and the joint analysis of intermediate stylized results in computing the residual images. All the results are averaged over 100 synthesized images with perceptual metrics. Note that both K and K' represent the number of refinements, where K denotes a full model and K ' represents a simple model that removes the upper encoder, which means it does not consider the intermediate stylization in computing residual images. Figure 6: Comparison with results from different methods. Figure 7: Detail cut-outs. The top row shows close-ups for highlighted areas for a better visualization. Only our result successfully captures the paint brush patterns in the style image. Figure 8: At deployment stage, we can adjust the degree of stylization with paramter α .

Our generative model jointly analyzes the structure and geometry of shapes, encoding them into a single latent code. The highlighted triplets above demonstrate that, in this joint latent space, pairs of nearby points represent models that are close to each other in both geometry and structure, while stepping away from the pair introduces differences in either geometry, or structure, or both. Note that, all the shapes shown here are voxel-based, and the bounding boxes of their parts are hidden on purpose for a clearer visualization. Abstract We present SAGNet, a structure-aware generative model for 3D shapes. Given a set of segmented objects of a certain class, the geometry of their parts and the pairwise relationships between them (the structure) are jointly learned and embedded in a latent space by an autoencoder. The encoder intertwines the geometry and structure features into a single latent code, while the decoder disentangles the features and reconstructs the geometry and structure of the 3D model. Our autoencoder consists of two branches, one for the structure and one for the geometry. The key idea is that during the analysis, the two branches exchange information between them, thereby learning the dependencies between structure and geometry and encoding two augmented features, which are then fused into a single latent code. This explicit intertwining of information enables separately controlling the geometry and the structure of the generated models. We evaluate the performance of our method and conduct an ablation study. We explicitly show that encoding of shapes accounts for both similarities in structure and geometry. A variety of quality results generated by SAGNet are presented. Fig. 2. Overview of SAGNet. Given 3D shapes as training data, the network has traditional 3D convolutional and fully-connected layers to extract visual features for shape parts. The network is equipped with GRU-based encoder and attention component, which jointly analyzes the geometry and structural information of shapes. All the information are provided for the 2-way VAE, which offers the generative power to the network. Our network eventually decodes the geometry and structural information to generate 3D shapes. Fig. 6. The generation results of G2L [Wang et al. 2018] (top row), GRASS [Li et al. 2017] (middle row) and SAGNet(bottom row). Compared to SAGNet, G2L often generates coarser and less-structured shapes while the voxel grids of GRASS may lose geometric details and thus are less visually appealing. Fig. 7. For each generated sample in the top row, we retrieve the 3-nearest neighbors in the training data. It may be seen that the generated shapes are original. Fig. 9. We measure the symmetry scores for legs of chairs generated by SAGNet, or baselines, or existing models. Along the horizontal axis, we set different thresholds for the scores. Along the vertical axis, we provide the percentage of shapes, which have smaller scores than the given thresholds. Fig. 10.

Our deep neural network Graph2Plan is a learning framework for automated floorplan generation from layout graphs. The trained network can generate floorplans based on an input building boundary only (a-b), like in previous works. In addition, we allow users to add a variety of constraints such as room counts (c), room connectivity (d), and other layout graph edits. Multiple generated floorplans which fulfill the input constraints are shown. Abstract We introduce a learning framework for automated floorplan generation which combines generative modeling using deep neural networks and userin- the-loop designs to enable human users to provide sparse design constraints. Such constraints are represented by a layout graph. The core component of our learning framework is a deep neural network, Graph2Plan, which converts a layout graph, along with a building boundary, into a floorplan that fulfills both the layout and boundary constraints. Given an input building boundary, we allow a user to specify room counts and other layout constraints, which are used to retrieve a set of floorplans, with their associated layout graphs, from a database. For each retrieved layout graph, along with the input boundary, Graph2Plan first generates a corresponding raster floorplan image, and then a refined set of boxes representing the rooms. Graph2Plan is trained on RPLAN, a large-scale dataset consisting of 80K annotated floorplans. The network is mainly based on convolutional processing over both the layout graph, via a graph neural network (GNN), and the input building boundary, as well as the raster floorplan images, via conventional image convolution. We demonstrate the quality and versatility of our floorplan generation framework in terms of its ability to cater to different user inputs.We conduct both qualitative and quantitative evaluations, ablation studies, and comparisons with state-of-the-art approaches. Fig. 2. Overview of our framework for automated floorplan generation, which combines generative modeling using deep neural networks and user-in-the-loop design. (a) The user inputs a building boundary and can also specify constraints on room numbers, locations, and adjacencies. (b) We retrieve possible graph layouts from a dataset based on the user input. (c) Once graphs have been retrieved, we automatically transfer and adjust the graphs to the input boundary. The user can then interactively edit the room locations and adjacencies on the adjusted graphs. (d) The graphs guide our network in generating corresponding floorplans, encoded as a set of room bounding boxes and a floorplan raster image. (e) We post-process this output to obtain the final, vectorized floorplan. Fig. 6. Architecture of our Graph2Plan network. The network takes as input a layout graph and building boundary, and outputs initial room bounding boxes { B 0 i }, refined room boxes { B 1 i }, and a raster image I of the floorplan. The processing is carried out with a graph neural network (GNN), convolutional neural network (CNN), fully-connected layers (Box), and a BoxRefineNet (detailed in Figure 7). Fig. 11.

Abstract Fully convolutional network (FCN) has been successfully applied in semantic segmentation of scenes represented with RGB images. Images augmented with depth channel provide more understanding of the geometric information of the scene in the image. The question is how to best exploit this additional information to improve the segmentation performance. In this paper, we present a neural network with multiple branches for segmenting RGB-D images. Our approach is to use the available depth to split the image into layers with common visual characteristic of objects/scenes, or common “scene-resolution”. We introduce context-aware receptive field (CaRF) which provides a better control on the relevant contextual information of the learned features. Equipped with CaRF, each branch of the network semantically segments relevant similar scene-resolution, leading to a more focused domain which is easier to learn. Furthermore, our network is cascaded with features from one branch augmenting the features of adjacent branch. We show that such cascading of features enriches the contextual information of each branch and enhances the overall performance. The accuracy that our network achieves outperforms the stateof-the-art methods on two public datasets. Figure 2 : The overview of our cascaded feature network (CFN). Given the color image, we use CNN to compute the convolutional feature map. The discrete depth image is layered, where each layer represents a scene-resolution and is used to match the image regions to corresponding network branches that share the same convolutional feature map. Each branch has context-aware receptive field (CaRF), which produces contextual representation to combine with the feature from adjacent branch. The predictions of all branches are combined to achieve the eventual segmentation result. Figure 3 : The two-level Context-aware Receptive Field (CaRF): (a) the image partitioned into super-pixels with different sizes; (b) at each node of the coarse grid we aggregate the features that reside in the same super-pixel; (c) the content of adjacent super-pixels is aggregated; (d) the aggregated content in a feature map represents a CaRF. The two-level CaRF is repeatedly applied to the images partitioned by super-pixels with diverse sizes. Note that the feature map has smaller resolution than the image due to down-sampling of network. Figure 4 : The network can have separate branches (a), combined branches (b) or cascaded branches (c). For clarity, we illustrate it with two branches only. Each network can be extended to have more branches. Figure 5 : A sample of the comparison to the baseline model [24] and our CFN.

CCAE: A Corpus of Chinese-based Asian Englishes
Dataset Summary
Language models have been foundations in various scenarios of NLP applications, but it has not been well applied in language variety studies, even for the most popular language like English. This paper represents one of the few initial efforts to utilize the NLP technology in the paradigm of World Englishes, specifically in creating a multi-variety corpus for studying Asian Englishes. We present an overview of the CCAE — Corpus of Chinese-based Asian English, a suite of corpora comprising six Chinese-based Asian English varieties. It is based on 340 million tokens in 448 thousand web documents from six regions. The ontology of data would make the corpus a helpful resource with enormous research potential for Asian Englishes (especially for Chinese Englishes for which there has not been a publicly accessible corpus yet so far) and an ideal source for varietyspecific language modeling and downstream tasks, thus setting the stage for NLP-based World Englishes studies. And preliminary experiments on this corpus reveal the practical value of CCAE.
