Storyline: The rapid technological development in China has been accelerating the growth of its international services trade, with artificial intelligence and robotics emerging as key drivers of the trend. At this year's China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), which opened on Wednesday in Beijing, exhibitors showcased a range of AI-powered solutions aimed at enhancing consumer experiences and industrial efficiency. Among the highlights was a pair of smart glasses capable of estimating food calories and offering dietary advice based on individual health data. A user can simply glance at piece of food and ask the AI assistant to provide an estimate on nutritional content. "We've applied a new artificial intelligence technology, namely, multimodal recognition, to estimate the caloric content of food. It also can create customized health management based on users' health data and dietary habits. With the development of the artificial intelligence technology, it will create new growth drivers for the consumption of services," said Wu Hainan, a representative for China Telecom. Beyond consumer tech, industrial applications are also expanding, driving the growth of trade in services. At the Humanoid Robotics Data Training Center in Beijing, robots were being trained to complete a variety of tasks, including common household chores. "We are teaching robots to open a fridge door. It may look simple, but it is not easy to do. Robots typically produce a steady force, but opening a fridge door requires a sudden burst of force. That's why we have to train robots for hundreds, even thousands of times, to help them learn about this nuance and master the skill through practice. Look, it's just opened the door," said Yuan Jun, an employee of the Humanoid Robotics Data Training Center. As the training progressed, real-time data was continuously collected for later use in refining AI systems. This data has also seen growing demand from international clients. "The data generated for artificial intelligence training is our final product for trade. We produce nearly 10,000 data entries every day, and some of the data is delivered to our partners in North America. Since the beginning of this year, demand for AI-related data from industrial sectors and research sectors has surged, creating a new business opportunity for us," said Yuan Qinni, a cooperation director at the Humanoid Robotics Data Training Center. China's artificial intelligence industry has experienced significant progress, maintaining annual growth rates of over 20 percent in recent years. Under the country's "AI+" initiative, announced earlier this year, authorities aim to foster new service models, with applications such as virtual tour guides, intelligent medical assistants, and AI learning companions expected to become increasingly accessible. Since its inception in 2012, CIFTIS has brought together enterprises from around the world to share opportunities stemming from China's opening up and development of trade in services.

"The two egg tarts in front of you -- if they are of standard size and made with a typical recipe -- are estimated to contain around 250 calories each." (Reporter: If a person is on diet, can he eat food like this?) "Egg tarts can be enjoyed occasionally during a weight-loss period, but it is essential to control intake." 3.
