CanSinoBIO to Showcase China's Vaccine Innovation at 2025 World Government Summit in Dubai
The 12th edition of the World Government Summit (WGS 2025) brings together influential leaders, heads of state, and tech visionaries from 140 countries to collaborate on global progress over the next decade. The summit focuses on addressing rapid changes, evaluating humanity's progress, identifying improvement opportunities, and empowering future generations through effective governance and sustainability.
CanSinoBIO's participation in the summit represents a significant milestone in its global expansion, highlighting its commitment to global public health. By engaging with global leaders, the Company aims to showcase its growing influence, strengthen its biopharma position, and drive innovation and collaboration for a positive global impact.
Driving Global Health Solutions
CanSinoBIO positions itself as a global vaccine provider rooted in China, dedicated to offering innovative, high-quality, and affordable vaccines worldwide. Over the past sixteen years, CanSinoBIO has established an industry system that meet international standards, and leveraged five advanced technology platforms to develop dozens of innovative vaccine products targeting over ten infectious diseases. 'CanSinoBIO is honored to stand as the exclusive representative of Chinese biotechnology companies at the conference,' said Dr. Yu Xuefeng. 'Our participation in this global platform underscores our dedication to advancing public health solutions and engaging with our partners worldwide to build a healthier and more sustainable future. Moving forward, we will persist in developing a globally competitive pipeline for novel vaccines, such as inhaled tuberculosis vaccine, PBPV and VLP-Polio vaccine.'
Enhance Global Partnerships for Improved Global Health
CanSinoBIO actively builds global partnerships to boost local vaccine production and reduce vaccine disparities. Since 2019, it has expanded its international presence by strengthening its commercial team, increasing production capacity, and partnering with countries in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Additionally, Menhycia®, the Company's quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, has been granted Halal Decree by the Assessment Institute for Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics of Majelis Ulama Indonesia, which is a good reference for the Muslim world. CanSinoBIO has also secured Halal Decree for multiple vaccine products, making vaccines more accessible and affordable for people in the MENA region and beyond. This initiative contributes positively to the global public health system. CanSinoBIO has developed five advanced technological platforms and established a rich portfolio of pipeline products that prevent more than ten diseases, including meningitis, pneumonia, pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, COVID-19, tuberculosis, shingles, Ebola virus disease etc. Additionally, the Company has multiple globally innovative vaccine products in clinical trial stage, such as its protein-based pneumococcal vaccine (PBPV) and recombinant polio vaccine (VLP-Polio). The PBPV is not serotype-dependent and has broader coverage (at lease 98% coverage of pnemococcal strains), highlighting the potential public health value of this vaccine.. Furthermore, VLP-Polio, a non-infectious polio vaccine that does not rely on live viruses, has secured $19 million in project funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and is endorsed by the World Health Organization as a preferred vaccine for the future eradication of polio.
Moving forward, CanSinoBIO looks forward to continuing its collaboration with global partners to address the challenges posed by infectious diseases, fulfilling its social and international responsibilities, and contributing to the advancement of global public health.

Why hiring for potential beats experience in today's workforce
The Fast Company Executive Board is a private, fee-based network of influential leaders, experts, executives, and entrepreneurs who share their insights with our audience. BY Listen to this Article More info 0:00 / 5:47 Long before I began advising global companies and governments on workforce development, I learned a valuable lesson in a very different setting: a commercial kitchen, as an apprentice chef. In a professional kitchen, there's an unspoken rule: Never put a new dish on the menu without testing it first. No matter how promising a recipe might sound, you don't gamble with the entire service. You trial it by making a small batch, refining it, and tasting again. We called it a test bake. I've carried that mindset into every aspect of my career. Whether I'm helping organizations design apprenticeship programs or advising large companies, the principle is the same: development isn't guesswork, and talent shouldn't be either. You can't shortcut it, but you can structure it. That's why I believe we need to rethink the way we hire. Instead of chasing job-ready, skilled-up, and experienced candidates, consider focusing on those we can develop. In a world where talent is scarce, I argue that inexperience isn't a disadvantage. It might just be an opportunity. WHY I LOOK BEYOND EXPERIENCE Take James Dyson. In a recent interview, the inventor and entrepreneur explained why he actively hires school-leavers and trains them in-house through the Dyson Institute. His logic is disarmingly simple: Experienced people tend to replicate what's been done before. But when you're trying to innovate, that history can become baggage. 'They don't do what should be done,' he said of his younger employees. 'They do something else; something way more interesting.' It struck a chord with me. Too often, I see businesses insisting on five years of experience for entry-level roles, only to find that experienced hires either don't stay or can't adapt. Research backs this up. A Harvard Business Review study found that internal hires—people 'grown' within the organization—often outperform external recruits for up to two years. They are also more likely to stay. The reality is that experience doesn't guarantee success. In fact, it can blind us to potential. Hiring people without industry experience isn't about charity or cutting corners. It's a deliberate workforce strategy—one that I've seen pay off across industries and countries. Here's what it offers: Fresh Thinking: Inexperienced employees ask sharper questions because they haven't absorbed 'the way things are done.' That's how breakthroughs happen. Adaptability: Without fixed habits, they're easier to train and align with your culture and systems. Loyalty: When people feel invested, they often repay it with commitment. Apprenticeship data shows they stay longer and are more productive. Cost Control: Entry-level hires often have lower salary expectations, freeing up budget for training and support. Greater Diversity: Traditional hiring criteria often exclude talented people from non-traditional backgrounds. Looking beyond experience widens your talent pool. That said, hiring inexperience doesn't work if it's done haphazardly. It requires leadership, structure, and a development mindset. Otherwise, you risk putting someone in a role they're not ready for—and that's on you, not them. I'm not advocating to always go for inexperience candidates—it's definitely horses for courses. WHAT EMPLOYERS MUST DO DIFFERENTLY The temptation in hiring is to look for a quick win: someone who can 'hit the ground running.' But I've found that very few people, experienced or not, walk into a job fully formed. Every new hire needs orientation, mentoring, and support. So, the question becomes: If you're going to invest time onboarding anyway, why not do it with someone who's eager to learn, who'll grow with your business, and who doesn't carry the weight of past habits? To do that well, you need systems in place: structured training, clear career paths, and managers who see themselves not just as supervisors, but as talent developers. Research refers to this as 'ambidextrous leadership,' or the ability to encourage new thinking while maintaining operational clarity. In my experience, that's the kind of leadership that builds both innovation and resilience. BRINGING IT BACK TO THE TEST BAKE Not every hire will be a perfect fit from day one. That's why I return to the test bake. In a kitchen, we don't abandon a recipe because the first try flopped. We adjust, iterate, and try again. We expect development to take time. The same should be true for people. Hiring inexperience isn't about accepting less—it's about building more. Yes, it's a risk. But so is hiring someone with experience who's already burned out or unwilling to adapt. The question isn't whether a candidate is ready today. It's whether you're ready to build the kind of workplace where they can become great tomorrow. THE LONG GAME IN TALENT Experience has its place. But it's not the only measure of potential, and increasingly, it's not the most useful one. If your organization is serious about futureproofing, innovation, and creating real pipelines of talent, you can't rely solely on buying skill from the outside. That's tricky in a skills shortage. You have to be willing to build it. That means testing. It means learning. And yes, it means baking. Because in the end, you don't build a great team by picking winners off the shelf. You build it the way a chef builds a menu: one careful, thoughtful, messy test bake at a time.

Trump Hosts US's Oldest Pacific Ally Amid Tensions With China
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The leader of the Philippines, the oldest U.S. ally in the Pacific region, aims to win over President Donald Trump in talks this week with an offer of greater economic engagement, including a "mutually beneficial" trade deal, to head off a looming 20-percent tariff on Philippine goods. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who arrived in the United States on Sunday and is due to meet Trump on Tuesday, is staunchly pro-American and has made U.S. ties a priority since he was elected in 2022, replacing a predecessor who spurned the U.S. in favor of closer relations with China. Why It Matters The United States and the Philippines have cooperated closely on defense for decades, based on a 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty. The former U.S. colony would be crucial for the U.S. military in the event of a confrontation with China over Taiwan. Under Marcos, Philippine forces have been trying the push back against China's expansive claims in the disputed South China Sea. Philippine efforts have been met with Chinese blockades, ramming and water cannon attacks that last year injured several Philippine service members. The United States last year set out funding of $500 million for the Philippines' military and coast guard in a show of support in the face of Chinese actions in disputed waters. China accused the U.S. of creating tension and inciting confrontation with its support for the Philippines, which now hosts at least two types of U.S. missile systems on its territory.

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. (L) and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pose during Hegseth's visit to Malacanang Palace on March 28, 2025, in the Philippine capital, Manila. Marcos will meet President Donald Trump on Tuesday to discuss tariffs and security. MoreWhat To Know Marcos, the son of U.S.-backed dictator Ferdinand Marcos, said he would be offering Trump exclusive economic benefits. "My top priority for this visit is to push for greater economic engagement, particularly through trade and investment between the Philippines and the United States," Marcos said before his departure. "I intend to convey to President Trump and his Cabinet officials that the Philippines is ready to negotiate a bilateral trade deal that will ensure strong, mutually beneficial and future-oriented collaborations that only the United States and the Philippines will be able to take advantage of," he said. In a July 9 letter to Marcos, Trump said the 20-percent tariff on goods from the Philippines was necessary to address what he said was a "far from reciprocal" trade relationship. Marcos said he expected his talks with Trump to also focus on security and defense. Under a 2014 deal, called the Enhanced Defence Cooperation Agreement, or EDCA, the U.S. military has access to Philippine bases and sites for joint training and for facilities such as runways, fuel storage and troop housing. The agreement was expanded in 2023 to allow the United States access to nine locations, up from five before. Manila has not explicitly said whether these would be available for use in a U.S. defense of Taiwan, but leaders including Marcos previously said the sites cannot be used to launch attacks. What People Are Saying Ferdinand Marcos Jr., president of the Philippines, in a public statement, said: "We will see how much progress we can make when it comes to the negotiations with the United States concerning the changes that we would like to institute so as to be able to alleviate the effects of a very severe tariff schedule on the Philippines." Donald Trump, U.S. president, in a July 9 letter to Marcos, wrote: "Please understand that the 20 percent number is far less than what is needed to eliminate the trade deficit disparity that we have with your country." What Happens Next The two leaders will meet at the White House on Tuesday, and any agreement struck over two-way trade is expected to reflect the Philippines' growing geopolitical importance to the United States, too.

China says Wells Fargo banker under exit ban is involved in a criminal case
BEIJING (Reuters) -China's foreign ministry said on Monday that Chenyue Mao, the Wells Fargo banker who has been blocked from leaving the country, was involved in a criminal case and was obliged to cooperate with the investigation. Chinese law enforcement authorities have restricted Mao's exit in accordance with the law, Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the ministry, told a regular press briefing. Wells Fargo declined to comment. On Friday, the firm said it was "working through the appropriate channels" to secure Mao's return to the United States. The U.S. bank suspended all travel to China after Mao's exit ban, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters last week, saying she was a U.S. citizen. It is not known exactly when the ban was imposed. The case was being investigated and Mao was obliged to cooperate with the investigation, Guo said, without elaborating on the case or how and whether the banker was alleged to be involved. "Everyone in China, whether they are Chinese or foreigners, must abide by Chinese laws," Guo said, adding that China will protect their legitimate rights and interests in investigations. Beijing has used exit bans on both Chinese and foreign nationals, often in connection with civil disputes, regulatory investigations or criminal investigations. The Wells Fargo exit ban comes as diplomatic and business ties between the U.S. and China remain strained. Experts said it could halt corporate travel to mainland China, especially by Chinese-born people holding foreign passports. Mao was born in Shanghai and based in Atlanta, and is a managing director at Wells Fargo, specialising in the international factoring business. She has been with the bank for 12 years, according to her LinkedIn profile, and two weeks ago was elected chair of FCI, a global organisation for factoring and financing for domestic and international trade. Mao leads Wells Fargo's international factoring business, a financing method where companies sell their receivables to third parties, such as banks, in exchange for immediate cash, and advises multinational clients on cross-border working-capital strategies, according to an FCI release. Wells Fargo's China business is much smaller than its Wall Street peer with two branches in Beijing and Shanghai, according to the units' business registration. Solve the daily Crossword
