      FOCAC summit fruitful platform for cooperation: Cape Verdean PM

      The Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) represents a fruitful platform for cooperation between the two sides, said the Prime Minister of Cape Verde Ulisses Correia e Silva, who is in Beijing for the ongoing 2024 FOCAC summit.

      Themed "Joining Hands to Advance Modernization and Build a High-Level China-Africa Community with a Shared Future," the three-day summit, which opened on Wednesday, aims to strengthen friendship and outline future cooperation between the two sides.

      In an exclusive interview with China Media Group (CMG), Silva said Cape Verde looks forward to achieving win-win results with China through the platform.

      "It [FOCAC] is a great platform, where China and Africa can carry out political dialogue and achieve win-win results. Agreements can be signed by both sides, particularly in financing, public fund development, and investment attraction. This will facilitate increased collaboration between Chinese companies, including private businesses, and investors from African nations, like Cape Verde, to collectively explore markets. This enables us to better improve economic development and tackle developmental challenges effectively," he noted.

      The Cape Verdean Prime Minister also praised the concept of a China-Africa community with a shared future and acknowledged its achievements in various fields.

      "The concept of China-Africa community with a shared future is exactly what we need for our future. China has always set an example for developing countries. Its development strategy is highly pragmatic and has yielded fruitful results. China has made significant investments in human capital, a key factor in its success, which is similar to Cape Verde. While people often attribute China's success to infrastructure development, I believe that its success also stems from investments in human resources, education, knowledge, science, technology, and innovation. These are the factors contributing to the different levels of development among nations. China also has robust mechanisms to ensure national stability. The country has successfully eradicated poverty, a significant challenge faced by Africa. Therefore, the China-Africa community with a shared future also offers a reference for the development path we are seeking," he explained.

      Silva also stressed China's crucial role on the international stage.

      "On the international stage, China plays a fundamental role as a key participant in maintaining peace and security. China is a major global player and a populous nation, and its development also influences the development of other countries through avenues like consumer and production markets. The common development between China and African nations can lead to a more balanced distribution of production and income," he said.

      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.
