      Burundian president arrives in Beijing

      Burundian President Evariste Ndayishimiye arrived in Beijing at 16:25 on Tuesday to attend the 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), which is set to be held in the Chinese capital from Wednesday to Friday.

      Burundi, a mountainous country in East Africa, has signed trade and cultural agreements with China. China mainly imports tea and minerals from Burundi, and exports machinery and electrical equipment to the country. The China Conservatory of Music, the China Railway Acrobatic Troupe, and Zhejiang Wu Opera Troupe have made performance tours in Burundi.

      So far, China has sent 22 teams of medical workers to Burundi and performed free operations for more than 400 local cataract patients.

      China has provided several batches of emergency food aid to Burundi in recent years and assisted it in building hydropower stations and presidential palace and expanding its international airport.

      With agricultural cooperation standing out in the practical cooperation between the two countries, China has sent six groups of senior agricultural experts to Burundi and carried out diverse forms of agricultural cooperation based on China-built agricultural demonstration centers.

      Burundi firmly supports the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative and Global Civilization Initiative proposed by China, highly commends the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the major achievements of Chinese modernization, and looks forward to deepening exchange of governance experience with China.

      Robot competition wows public with advancing brain-computer interface technology

      The 2024 World Robot Contest Finals, just concluded on Tuesday in Zhengzhou, central China's Henan Province, has captivated visitors with exciting robot battles and groundbreaking technologies.

      The event consists of two major competitions: Brain-Computer Interface or BCI Brain-controlled Robot Competition and Youth Robot Design Competition.

      Running from Jan 16 to 21, the event covers more than 20 major events, 50 minor events and 100 competition groups, providing a broad competitive stage for robot enthusiasts around the world.

      During the six-day event, incredible displays realized by BCI technology, like typing and communicating with mind, have also taken the spotlight at the fair.

      BCI refers to a system allowing a person to control a computer or other electronic device using his or her brainwaves, without requiring any movement or verbal instruction.

      At the competition site, young contestants, wearing portable devices on their heads, silently controlled line-following robots to complete challenge tasks by leveraging their brainwave signals.

      Wu Qin, a referee of the competition, explained that the performance of contestants is determined by their level of concentration during the event, with the data being collected from within the human brain.

      "The BCI device works kind of like a fitness tracker that monitors our heart rate and blood oxygen levels," Wu added.

      Meanwhile, a display and experience area, showcasing various application scenarios of BCI, have attracted crowds of visitors.

      "I just experienced the mood breathing light and visual typing. Both are quite advanced. I haven't come across similar things before. This competition let us learn about these novel devices, and it's great," said a visitor.
