Hainan fish on global tables: testament to successful Hainan Fresh Products initiative
"These golden pompanos were cultivated in the deep sea of Changjiang, Hainan, featuring no intermuscular bones, delicious meat, abundant unsaturated fatty acids, and multiple trace elements." Wang Kangzheng said.
As the southernmost tropical island province in China, Hainan boasts a vast sea area, pristine water, and a suitable climate, which are ideal for fishery.
In recent years, Hainan has redoubled efforts in deep-sea and far-sea aquaculture and proposed three priorities: the shore, the deep sea, and recreational fishery. By the end of 2024, the scale of deep-sea and far-sea aquaculture water bodies exceeded 8.5 million cubic meters, and the total output of aquatic products reached 1.814 million tons, more than half of which were supplied to the domestic and international markets.
"At least 150,000 kilograms of golden pompanos caught in our deep-sea aquaculture base have been exported to Europe, America, and Southeast Asia during this harvest season," Wu Zhiduo, chairman of Hainan Haiken Marine Industry Group Co., Ltd., expressed his joy at supplying dining tables around the world. In addition, Haiken has recently launched the Sanya Bay Deep-sea and Far-sea Aquaculture Project, focusing on the cultivation of high value-added deep-sea fish species with Hainan characteristics, such as golden pompano and grouper, to drive the construction of modern marine ranches.
Tilapia, known as the "fish of the 21st century," has "grown" into a large industry since it "swam" to Hainan nearly three decades ago in the 20th century. According to the Hainan Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, almost 30% of China's exported tilapia are produced in Hainan, while most of the tilapia in the European and American markets comes from China.
Hainan, where amberjack fries have been exported to Japan for nearly 40 years, plays a key role in global amberjack production. The Wanning Marine Fishery Association revealed that Hainan catches about 15 million natural fries every year, contributing to about 70% of China's total exports. Earlier this month, a Japanese-flagged ship loaded with 170,000 amberjack fries set sail, marking the first batch of fry exports in the province this year.
As stated by the Hainan Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Hainan promotes smart deep-sea aquaculture by adopting advanced data management and precise feeding systems so that professionals make informed decisions based on real-time parameters. Feed provided in the preset time and amount not only avoids waste but also boosts efficiency and quality. Today, Hainan's golden pompano, grouper, tilapia, tuna, and other aquatic products are favored by more and more countries and regions: one reason is the excellent climate, while the other is detail-oriented scientific aquaculture.
In fact, Hainan's aquatic product export has been constantly growing, thanks to the business-friendly policies of the Free Trade Port, the measures taken for the high-quality development of agricultural international trade, and the Hainan Fresh Products initiative. Nothing demonstrates the achievements better than data provided by the Haikou Customers: from January to February this year, Hainan's aquatic products exported to the USA, the Netherlands, Canada, the UK, France, and Israel increased by 39.6%, 33.8%, 109.9%, 75.7%, 75.3%, and 52.2%, respectively.

White House Joins TikTok Amid Ongoing Controversy
The White House has launched an official account on TikTok, sparking fresh debate over the platform's role in US politics and its uncertain future in the country. This unexpected move comes as the Biden administration continues to scrutinise TikTok's operations within the United States, with concerns primarily centred around data privacy and national security. The account, created under the handle @whitehouse, aims to reach a younger audience and engage with the public in a more direct and informal manner. Despite the ongoing tensions surrounding TikTok, this step marks a significant shift in the government's approach to social media communication. Officials have indicated that the account will be used for sharing updates, promoting policy initiatives, and communicating directly with American citizens. This move also highlights the growing importance of social media platforms, particularly TikTok, in shaping public discourse. With over a billion active users worldwide, TikTok has become a cultural force that cannot be easily ignored, even by governmental institutions. The platform's ability to influence trends, politics, and public opinion has made it an indispensable tool for reaching younger demographics, which tend to engage with it far more than traditional media channels. ADVERTISEMENT The decision to embrace TikTok comes at a time when the app is facing increasing scrutiny from US lawmakers. Republican leaders, in particular, have expressed concerns about the platform's ties to China and its potential for influencing American users. These concerns have led to calls for a ban or stricter regulations on the app, citing the possibility that TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, could be compelled to share data with the Chinese government under Chinese law. In response to these concerns, TikTok has repeatedly assured US lawmakers that it operates independently of the Chinese government and that user data is stored securely in the United States. However, these assurances have done little to quell the growing anxiety over the app's potential for espionage or influence operations. With several states already implementing bans on TikTok on government-issued devices, the platform's future in the US remains uncertain. Despite these challenges, TikTok continues to thrive, particularly among younger generations. For the White House, engaging with this demographic is crucial, given that many of the issues the administration focuses on—such as climate change, healthcare, and social justice—are central to the concerns of younger voters. By establishing a presence on TikTok, the White House can directly communicate its messages to a wider audience, bypassing traditional media channels that may not always align with its narrative. However, some political analysts have raised questions about the potential risks of using TikTok, particularly in light of the app's perceived ties to Beijing. Critics argue that the White House's decision could be seen as tacit approval of the platform's data practices and its potential for influence. Moreover, the fact that TikTok's algorithm is designed to encourage the rapid spread of content, including political messages, raises further concerns about the platform's ability to shape public opinion in ways that may not always be transparent. For its part, the Biden administration has defended the use of TikTok, highlighting its effectiveness in reaching younger voters who are increasingly sceptical of traditional political institutions. Administration officials have also pointed out that many other world governments, including those in Europe and Asia, have embraced TikTok as a tool for communication, citing its potential to engage citizens in innovative ways. As the debate surrounding TikTok's security risks continues, the White House's decision to join the platform reflects a broader trend in which governments are increasingly turning to social media to shape political narratives. While some view this as a pragmatic response to the changing media landscape, others remain concerned about the potential risks posed by the app's operations. Only time will tell whether TikTok's influence in the US will continue to grow or if mounting concerns will ultimately lead to its decline in the country.
