BEIJING, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 9, 2024, the delegation of international communication experts and foreign media outlets, themed "The World Comes to Zhongshan" and organized by the CICG Academy of Translation and Interpretation, visited several representative enterprises in Zhongshan's emerging industries to experience the development of these innovative sectors.
At the Sinoscience Fullcryo (Zhongshan) Equipment Manufacturing Co. Ltd., delegation members learned about a large hydrogen liquefier capable of producing five tons of liquefied hydrogen per day. This facility was jointly developed, designed, and manufactured by the company and the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, achieving the domestic production of large hydrogen liquefiers, with overall performance reaching international advanced levels. Zhongshan has prioritized the hydrogen energy industry and has nurtured several leading enterprises and research institutes in low-temperature technology, thus forming a relatively complete hydrogen energy industrial chain.
At the Zhongshan Institute for Drug Discovery, the delegation received insights into several groundbreaking drugs developed by the institute that are pioneering in both China and globally. The institute is currently working on more than 60 new drugs, with seven of them undergoing clinical trials. This initiative reflects Zhongshan's commitment to creating a national-level comprehensive platform that integrates biopharmaceutical research and development, technological breakthroughs, platform services, and industrial incubation, all aimed at promoting high-quality development in the biopharmaceutical and health industries within the Greater Bay Area.
During last year's Hangzhou Asian Games, tens of thousands of spectators benefited from seamless video streaming and video calls through a robust 5G network, supported by Tongyu Communication Co. Ltd., based in Zhongshan. The delegation learned that as China's pioneering manufacturer of base station antennas, the company has established two overseas production bases in India and Thailand, along with six international branches. Its base station antennas are extensively utilized in over 60 countries and regions and have earned certification as a global supplier from leading telecom equipment manufacturers such as Huawei, ZTE, and Ericsson.
At FCourier, a company specializing in the research, development, operation, and management of high-performance Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), flight control systems, and artificial intelligence products, the delegation observed the test flights of two types of UAVs up close. Known for their exceptional performance, the company's electric vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAVs with retractable rotors are sold in multiple Middle Eastern countries. They are effectively applied in various fields, including emergency firefighting, public safety, and energy inspection, and serve as an example of China's high-end manufacturing going global. Zhongshan aims to gather over 300 relevant enterprises in the industrial chain, achieving an industrial scale exceeding 10 billion yuan, and is committed to establishing a distinctive low-altitude manufacturing industry, which is poised to be a key growth driver for the city's economy.

Delegation of International Communication Experts and Foreign Media Outlets Visits Emerging Industry Enterprises in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province
New data from Best Lawyers reveals top-ranked legal talent across Australia, providing insights for firm marketing and recruitment
AUGUSTA, Ga., April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Best Lawyers® today announces the release of the 2026 editions of The Best Lawyers in Australiaâ„¢ and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Australiaâ„¢, offering law firms a powerful resource to benchmark professional excellence, spotlight emerging legal talent and strengthen their competitive standing.
The Best Lawyers rankings, representing the country's top 5% of legal talent1, offer data-driven insights and access to a global network that Australian legal firms can leverage to support their marketing, recruitment and client development initiatives.
Best Lawyers CEO, Phillip Greer, said the 18th edition of The Best Lawyers in Australia recognises more than 4,500 lawyers selected from a rigorous peer-review process. Of those, 314 lawyers are being honoured for the first time, reflecting the continued expansion in this region.
Now in its fourth year, Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Australia highlights more than 790 early-career lawyers for outstanding professional achievement.
In addition, 329 nominees were awarded the prestigious "Lawyer of the Year" title, for those receiving the highest overall peer feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region.
"The Australian legal market continues to advance, with seasoned lawyers and emerging voices leading the charge on some of the globe's most pressing legal challenges," Mr Greer said.
"From class actions and data privacy to climate-related litigation, this year's Australian honorees represent the highest calibre of the profession, with a growing focus on impact, innovation and accountability."
Sydney and Melbourne dominance challenged
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane lead the country in awarded talent, underscoring their roles as Australia's primary legal and commercial hubs – but there are emerging trends as to where top legal talent is concentrated, according to Best Lawyers Vice President of Research and Development, Elizabeth Petit.
"Brisbane has emerged as a growing hub, attracting a rising number of high-performing legal professionals - likely driven by the city's population growth, economic development and expanding legal market.
"Sydney and Melbourne maintain their long-standing reputations as powerhouses for top legal talent, however their growth has not been as dramatic," she said.
Litigation remains the most recognised practice area in the 2026 editions, followed by Insurance Law and Alternative Dispute Resolution, reflecting growing legal needs across corporate, risk and strategic advisory services.
Mr Greer said legal firms across Australia continue to demonstrate a commitment to professional distinction, with 700 firms represented this year and a record 500,000 evaluations made in the peer-review process required for nominees.
"Best Lawyers' recognition process is a key indicator of legal expertise and credibility for clients and the broader legal profession, providing valuable third-party validation in a highly competitive industry.
"Our peer rankings provide a confirmed network for people to tap into and know they are getting the best legal representation," he said.
Further strengthening its position in the Australian legal market, Best Lawyers will announce the 2026 Best Law Firmsâ„¢ - Australia and release its Australian Legal Market Report providing a comprehensive overview of legal trends on May 29, 2025.
