STORYLINE:

STANDUP (English): ZHANG NAN, Xinhua correspondent
"China is striving to foster and strengthen new quality productive forces, so as to accelerate the creation of new dynamics for high-quality development. What does it mean for the country and what could it bring to the world?"

First introduced in 2023, new quality productive forces refer to advanced productivity freed from the traditional economic growth mode and productivity development paths. It features high-tech, high efficiency and high quality.

SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): GAO HAICHUN, Board member, Trinasolar
"I believe that for the photovoltaic industry, the essence lies in innovation. We must steadfastly lead the industry through technological innovation. In the past, the rapid cost reduction in the photovoltaic industry has been due to our continuous investment in technological innovation. We hope that China's photovoltaic industry will not only lead the world in terms of quantity but also achieve world-leading quality in our services. This will allow us to better serve people globally and contribute to the global renewable energy sector."

SOUNDBITE 2 (English): JEREMY JURGENS, Managing Director, World Economic Forum (WEF)
"I think these forces are across these different technology domains that (are) actually applying them. Again, probably the best example for me is in the energy sector, this kind of next generation energy technologies, and they have an important role to play, not only in China. So like many countries, China is looking for sustainable energy sources, affordable energy sources and secure energy sources. So by being able to generate power, whether that's from solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, domestically, China not only improves its own position, it actually makes a contribution to global sustainability."

SOUNDBITE 3 (English): AMIT SEVAK, CEO, Education Testing Service (ETS) of USA
"China is investing a lot in science and research, so I think Chinese skills and knowledge can help the world by transferring these kinds of insights to help. There are many areas which the Chinese economy is investing to help advance the productive forces. More R&D, more advanced science, more AI. Many of these can benefit not only China but the rest of the world."
