URUMQI -- A total of 40 projects with an aggregate investment of over 118.48 billion yuan ($16.62 billion) were signed on Friday at a sideline event of the ongoing 8th China-Eurasia Expo held in Urumqi, the regional capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

The event, highlighting the development of the Urumqi sub-zone of the China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone (FTZ), was hosted by the government of Urumqi and attended by over 300 representatives from 200 enterprises and 10 chambers of commerce.

With the establishment of the Xinjiang Pilot FTZ in Urumqi, the city has become an investment and business hot spot, said Yakup Paydulla, mayor of Urumqi.

The signed projects span several industries, including new energy, new materials, the energy and chemicals industry, electronics and information industry, agricultural produce processing, logistics, advanced equipment and bio-medicine.

"Urumqi boasts unique geographical advantages," noted Che Mingze, assistant to the chairman of the Xinjiang Shijiyun Energy Technology Co Ltd, adding the investment projects signed by the company will not only help promote local industrial transformation and upgrading, but also benefit the company's future expansion into Central Asia and other overseas markets, bringing quality Chinese products to neighboring countries.

The company has signed investment projects with a total investment of 24.5 billion yuan, including a 4-million-kilowatt photovoltaic project to be launched in Urumqi.

As the first pilot FTZ in China's northwest border areas, the Xinjiang Pilot FTZ was officially established in November 2023. The FTZ has since embarked on an array of reform initiatives, marking a robust start to its development.

The 8th China-Eurasia Expo, themed "New Opportunities of Silk Road, New Vitality for Eurasian Cooperation," will run until Sunday. It has drawn over 1,900 participants from 50 countries, regions and international organizations, showcasing over 6,000 varieties of products.

New Frost-Resistant Sand-Control Agent

  Across China: Chinese researchers develop new frost-resistant sand-control agent LANZHOU -- A Chinese research team has developed a chemical sand-fixation material suitable for use in cold desert regions, which is expected to serve as a new tool for sand control and desertification prevention in such areas. The application of chemical materials to stabilize shifting sands is one of the primary methods of desertification control. This approach involves the use of adhesive chemical substances to bind loose sand particles together, thereby mitigating encroachment by wind-blown sand. However, conventional chemical sand-fixation materials have been mainly designed for hot and arid regions. In colder, high-altitude or high-latitude desert regions, such as the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and the Mongolian Plateau, which are located in Northwest, Southwest and North China, cooler temperatures often render traditional methods of sand control ineffective. Researchers from the Northwest Institut...

Bamboo In The World’s Longest Sea Bridge

Image
  How Chinese engineers used bamboo in the world’s longest sea bridge, and more Chinese scientists have been working on new technologies to make stronger and more durable bamboo-based materials for large-scale infrastructure, reinforcing the country’s position as a leader in the emerging eco-friendly industry. Bamboo, which is known for its rapid growth and high strength, was engineered into composite panels used on the scenic platforms that stretch for kilometres along the  Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge , the official Science and Technology Daily reported on Wednesday. Six years after they were installed on the bridge – the world’s largest sea crossing – the bamboo-based panels have withstood sunlight, typhoons and seawater corrosion, remaining “as solid as ever”, according to the report. Lou Zhichao, from Nanjing Forestry University’s Bamboo Research Institute, said most of the world’s bamboo was grown in developing countries. “China is not only the world’s largest bamboo pr...

Blueprint Of Human Brain Cortex

  Chinese scientists uncover complex blueprint of human brain cortex BEIJING -- Researchers from the Institute of Automation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed the intrinsic relationship between the topological structure of human brain cortex connections and genetic characteristics, according to a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience. Fan Lingzhong, a researcher at the institute, explained that neural networks operate as human think, learn, or perceive the world, with trillions of connections enabling rapid information transfer. The study addresses a fundamental question: How do these intricate connections form, and why do distinct brain regions exhibit such orderly distribution across the cortex? "The brain begins following a genetic 'blueprint' during embryonic development," Fan noted. Researchers proposed a hypothesis: genetic encoding and cortical connectivity are not directly correlated due to the vast numerical disparity between genes and...
