Laos aims to boost innovation growth through IP promotion
The project aims to develop a comprehensive national intellectual property strategy aligned with Laos' socio-economic development plans, according to the ministry's report on Thursday (May 29).
The strategy will focus on harnessing Lao people's creativity by transforming ideas into valuable Intellectual Property (IP) assets, such as products and services, that contribute to a robust and sustainable economy.
It also aims to modernise IP management in the country, making it faster, more transparent, and internationally competitive.
Through this strategy, the Lao government seeks to support innovators, especially youth, researchers, programmers, entrepreneurs, and creators, by providing access to resources and tools needed to protect and commercialise their ideas.
Additionally, the strategy is expected to reduce reliance on imports, boost domestic innovation, and bolster economic resilience. - Xinhua

Tech-driven logistics boosts plum delivery in remote SW China county
Villagers pick plums at an orchard in Wushan County in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality on July 5, 2025. – Xinhua photo CHONGQING (July 13): In an orchard in Quchi Township of Wushan County in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, villager Peng Bin finished picking fresh plums. A black robot dog soon trotted over to Peng, carrying a basket full of fruit on its back. Eight minutes later, the plums arrived at a postal dispatch stop. They were packed and prepared for transfer to a drone.

On the tarmac, a special 'plum flight' awaited takeoff. With seamless coordination between robot dogs, drones and aircraft, the plums completed their journey out of the mountains in a very short time. On both banks of the Three Gorges section of the Yangtze River in Chongqing, 300,000 mu (about 20,000 hectares) of Wushan plums are now ripening. Plum transportation in the area once relied on manual labor and trucks.

'Last year, we had drones. This year, we have robot dogs and drones. 'Plum transport is faster than ever, and we have saved a lot on labor costs,' Peng said. Li Yongjun, general manager of the Wushan County branch of China Post Group Co Ltd, said that the postal service has developed a new model combining 'robot dog in the field transport, drone transfer and plum flights'.

Drone transfers, meanwhile, have broken through geographical constraints, further slashing the transport time. 'As transport efficiency has been greatly improved, consumers can enjoy high-quality Wushan plums shortly after they are picked, while farmers are also earning more,' Li noted. Currently, fresh Wushan plums can be delivered within 24 hours to over 1,000 cities across China. This year, it is expected that 140,000 tonnes of plums will be sold nationwide, with total output value projected to exceed 2.2 billion yuan (about US$307.6 million), said Chen Huiyi, director of the Wushan County transportation bureau. – Xinhua China Chongqing plums Xinhua

Aviation industry takes off from China's city of rice
A general aviation aircraft prepares to take off at an aerospace town in Wuhu City, east China's Anhui Province on July 3, 2025. – Xinhua photo HEFEI (July 13): When Li Youcai left a garment factory and returned to his rural home in the city of Wuhu a decade ago, finding a job in a local aircraft factory seemed unimaginable. Li had initially planned to resume farming his small rice paddy. The city in east China's Anhui Province was historically known for growing rice, and in the 2010s, it had a thriving manufacturing sector, including car assembly. 'General aviation industry? Never heard of it,' he recalled thinking at that time. Li now leads a team of workers in an assembly factory owned by CETC Wuhu Diamond Aircraft Manufacture Co Ltd (CETC Aircraft). He is proud to be part of Wuhu's sophisticated supply chain for making aircraft from scratch. 'My dream is to board one of the planes we've built,' said the 47-year-old worker. What changed his career trajectory and the future of Wuhu was a bold move to set up the city's first general aviation company in 2013, well before China proposed developing the low-altitude economy. CETC Aircraft is now one of the few Chinese general aviation firms that produce both manned aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). It has delivered over 100 manned models and over 300 drones since mass manufacturing began in 2018. In May, the company celebrated the first overseas delivery of its DA42 NG manned aircraft, according to Tian Manlin, the company's general manager. Even more impressive is its success in gathering nearly 200 clustered firms to form an industrial park that supplies key components from engines to propellers and provides related services. 'You can make an aircraft without even leaving the industrial park,' said Zhu Yinghua, vice head of the Wanzhi District of Wuhu, where the aviation cluster is located. 'For all the key components of a domestically produced aircraft, you can find a supplier within a 3-kilometer radius.' The Wuhu company is now recognised as a 'chain leader firm', which has garnered more attention for its ability to drive the growth of an entire industrial chain. Many Chinese cities are inviting or fostering such companies in their efforts to develop emerging industries from robotics to AI. 'In the future, the competition will happen not only between individual companies, but also between clusters of companies,' Tian said, adding that they are working closely with others in the industrial park to rev up innovation. A worker assembles a general aviation aircraft at the workshop of CETC Wuhu Diamond Aircraft Manufacture Co Ltd in Wuhu City, east China's Anhui Province on July 3, 2025. – Xinhua photo Long-termism China's 2024 government work report included the concept of a 'low-altitude economy' for the first time. The term includes drone delivery, aerial sightseeing and other industries operating below 1,000 meters above ground. Since then, the sector has seen rapid expansion, with its scale projected to exceed 1 trillion yuan (about US$140 billion) by 2026. In Wuhu, the low-altitude economy sector reported revenue of 46.38 billion yuan in 2024, marking a yearly rise of 15.95 per cent, according to the municipal development and reform commission. But before the national policy tailwind, Wuhu had been making preparations. For years, the city has been promoting new application scenarios for general aviation aircraft, such as high-rise firefighting and river patrols. It is also building an intelligent platform for low-altitude management. Tian also emphasised the importance of long-term planning in the company's development. CETC Aircraft has spent years developing original technologies and has initiated a general aviation research institute. The company now pours 30 per cent of its revenue into R&D. 'Wuhu and its companies are both innovative and patient,' said Tang Zhiqiang, deputy dean of Anhui institute of industry and information technology. 'Over a decade of continuous investment is crucial to the sector's take-off.' – Xinhua aerospace aviation industry CETC China Xinhua

Roundup: EU urged to respond firmly as Trump's tariff threat sparks outrage
BRUSSELS, July 12 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump's surprise announcement of sweeping 30 percent tariffs on European Union (EU) exports on Saturday has provoked a fierce backlash across the bloc, with officials and industry leaders demanding a strong and united response amid continued trade talks. The proposed tariffs, set to take effect on Aug. 1, target EU imports and were justified by Trump as a correction of a "far from reciprocal" trade relations. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned on Saturday that the tariffs would "disrupt essential transatlantic supply chains, to the detriment of businesses, consumers and patients on both sides of the Atlantic." While emphasizing the EU's continued commitment to a negotiated solution, she said the bloc "will take all necessary steps to safeguard EU interests, including the adoption of proportionate countermeasures if required." European lawmakers and national leaders voiced growing frustration, with many urging immediate retaliatory steps. Bernd Lange, chair of the European Parliament's committee on international trade, said the U.S. letter is "both impertinent and a slap in the face" after weeks of negotiations. He urged the EU to begin retaliatory measures on Monday as scheduled, stating that "the period of waiting is over." European Council President Antonio Costa said the tariffs would drive inflation, fuel uncertainty and stall growth. "The EU remains firm, united and ready to protect our interests," he said, urging progress toward a "fair agreement" with Washington. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his "strong disapproval" of the U.S. move, and said the EU must speed up preparing "credible countermeasures" using all tools, including anti-coercion, available if talks fail. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson condemned the move as a "unilateral escalation," and said the EU is prepared to respond with tough countermeasures if necessary. "Everyone loses out from an escalated trade conflict, and it will be U.S. consumers who pay the highest price," he warned. Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala criticized the U.S. tariffs for negatively impacting transatlantic trade and called for "unity and determination" to protect the EU's interests. European industries voiced alarm over the fallout, particularly in sectors tightly integrated with the U.S. market. Germany's major industry lobby group, the BDI, called the U.S. move "an alarm signal," warning that it could derail recovery and undermine innovation on both sides of the Atlantic. "Tariffs as a means of exerting political pressure lead to higher costs, jeopardize jobs and undermine international competitiveness, both in Europe and in the United States," said Wolfgang Niedermark, a senior BDI executive. Isabel Schnabel, a European Central Bank board member, said the tariffs could trigger medium-term inflation and supply chain shocks. The automotive sector, which is already deeply integrated with the EU and the U.S., is already feeling the pain. Slovakia, one of Europe's top car-exporting nations, reported a noticeable drop in orders for the coming third quarter. Economy Minister Denisa Sakova said relocating production to the U.S. was not feasible in the short term and emphasized that the damage had already begun. The German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) said the cost to manufacturers was already in the billions and climbing daily. "It is regrettable that there is a threat of a further escalation of the trade conflict," said VDA President Hildegard Mueller. "The costs for our companies are already in the billions, and the sum is growing every day," she said, noting that suppliers were also significantly affected by the import duties. Emanuele Orsini, president of Confindustria, Italy's major association representing manufacturing and service companies, condemned the U.S. approach as "unpleasant," while Paolo Mascarino, president of the Italian food and drink industry federation Federalimentare, said the tariffs "exceed any threshold of tolerability" and would trigger significant drops in exports. Dan O'Brien, chief economist at the Institute of International and European Affairs, said the U.S. move was "provocative" and significantly raised the risk of a wider economic confrontation between the two economies.
