Our Water Season 2 Launches in London, Advancing Shanghai-London Dialogue on Future Waterfronts
SHANGHAI, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 13 June 2025 - The second season of Our Water: Flowing from Shanghai – Intercultural Dialogues Among World Cities officially launched on June 10 along the Thames River in London, ushering in a new chapter of collaboration between Shanghai and London focused on waterfront development, cultural exchange, and sustainable urban growth. More than 140 participants from both countries attended, including leaders in finance, urban planning and the creative industries. Suzhou Creek and the Huangpu River met the Thames, with water serving as a shared symbol of culture and urban identity, as the Shanghai-London Twin Cities Dialogue gathered momentum. Wang Qi, Minister at the Chinese Embassy in the UK, noted in his remarks that both Shanghai and London have flourished thanks to their rivers, prospered as port cities, and continue to be revitalized by culture and innovation. 'Today's event is not only an exchange between two cities, but also a meaningful cultural interaction and a collective step towards a better future,' he said. During the event, representatives from London, Liverpool, and Shanghai jointly launched the World-class Waterfront Development Initiative, aiming to drive the comprehensive transformation of urban waterfronts worldwide—from spatial regeneration to the integration of ecology, economy, and culture. The initiative aspires to establish global demonstration zones and pioneering models of waterfront development aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Julia King, Co-founder of Social Place and former Researcher at the Cities Research Centre at the London School of Economics, shared her perspective: 'I think China broadly has done a lot more interesting projects around nature-based solutions for rivers in general. And I think the approach that Shanghai is taking to its river, to its principal attributes is something that I think we could probably learn a lot from and then have an exchange as to kind of around public realm.' Michael Clifford, Economic Advisor at EY-Parthenon, added: 'I think there's already a good foundation of working collaboration between London and Shanghai. London has a real focus on investable propositions and opportunities and particularly in the development space, a whole set of kind of development opportunities around and alongside the river.' Our Water Season 2 will launch a six-day program in London featuring six flagship events focused on cultural dialogue, historical and environmental renewal, Sino-British numismatic heritage, multimedia art, culinary exchange, and global innovation collaboration. Later this year, the season will return to Shanghai, where activities like the Shanghai–London 'Poetry in Twin Cities Metro' campaign will be officially unveiled.

China's lack of advanced chips hinders broad adoption of AI models: Tencent executive
Broad adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) models by enterprises in China remains hampered by the country's limited access to advanced graphics processing units (GPUs) owing to tightened US export controls , according to a senior Tencent Holdings executive. 'The most severe problem is the [limited] resources of [graphics] cards and computing resources,' said Wang Qi, vice-president at Tencent's cloud computing unit , during a group interview with local media in Guangzhou , capital of southern Guangdong province, on Friday. He pointed out that the situation has been aggravated by the US government's recent move to require licences for exports of Nvidia's H20 chips to China. Nvidia started selling the H20 AI chips to China in early 2024, after its more advanced A100, H100, A800 and H800 GPUs were placed under US export controls because of national security concerns. Wang said he expected the tightened trade controls to 'widen the gap [regarding AI adoption] between China and the US in the short term'. His assessment reflects how China could find it hard to overcome the so-called scaling law in AI – credited to a 2020 paper by ChatGPT creator OpenAI – which asserts that the larger the training data, computing resources and model parameters, the greater the AI model's intelligence. Advanced GPUs, especially those from US suppliers Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices , are favoured by many developers for large-scale AI model training and building AI applications. Large language models (LLMs) are the technology underpinning generative AI services like ChatGPT
