BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2025 – Amid the buzz of the ongoing 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), a robot dog is stealing the show. However, this remarkable machine is not just a playful performer; it carries a serious mission. A humanoid robot plays piano at the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, capital of China, Sept. 11, 2025. Equipped with a yellow methane detection probe, it sniffs out potential gas leaks, poised to become a “bodyguard” enhancing community safety. Zhang Shenyan, a senior R&D engineer at Beijing Gas Group Co., Ltd., explained that this robotic inspector can be pre-programmed with specific routes and key inspection areas, allowing it to conduct regular patrols and safety checks within residential compounds. The robot dog is just one example of how the new technological revolution, led by artificial intelligence (AI), is permeating every facet of daily life — a trend that has been constant throughout this year’s CIFTIS. Across various themed exhibition halls, AI applications are transforming multiple services trade sectors. In the health services exhibition hall, Guang’anmen Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences displayed an AI diagnostic robot. People can converse with the “AI doctor” in a consultation room. Xue Chong, founder of the AI doctor company Trizen, noted that the AI system uses large-model technology and has been trained on a vast array of real case data. It is now capable of conducting traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis such as pulse reading, facial and tongue analysis. “AI large-model technology has reached a stage focusing on deep integration with specific sectors, and healthcare is an ideal field for AI application,” said Xue. Xue said they are also developing an AI terminal for home use, paving the way for home-based AI medical services. The environmental services section also featured its own AI innovation. The company He Mu Ecology presented an eco-dredging robot, capable of performing remote-controlled dredging in urban rivers and underwater environments, as well as cleaning hazardous material from enclosed chemical tanks. QuantaEye Technologies Co., Ltd. exhibited its “water environment scout,” a floating monitoring device that collects over 10 real-time water quality parameters. Integrated with Internet of Things and big data analysis, it enables dynamic water monitoring and early pollution alerts. The company said that the system is already deployed in several rivers and lakes across Beijing. Throughout the CIFTIS exhibition halls, a dazzling array of AI applications has drawn large crowds of visitors, all eager to stop and experience the innovations firsthand. Experts across various fields are actively seeking ways to integrate the cutting-edge technology into their respective fields, turning innovative concepts into tangible productivity gains. In the culture and tourism services zone, visitors lined up to try mixed reality (MR) experiences through wearable devices, immersing themselves in interactive virtual environments or embarking on digital tours of famous landmarks and heritage sites. Meanwhile, over in the education services zone, exhibitors presented AI-powered support systems tailored for child development. These tools combine health monitoring, personalized tutoring, and physical activity tracking to create a complete growth solution for kids. Ouyang Rihui, deputy director of the China Center for Internet Economy Research at the Central University of Finance and Economics, noted that in recent years, China’s application and promotion of digital intelligent technologies have led to a surge of new AI products, application scenarios, and service formats. “These have greatly stimulated and expanded new potential in service consumption,” he added. Liang Zheng, vice dean of the Institute for AI International Governance at Tsinghua University, said that AI innovation not only reduces the cost and barriers to trade in services through automation and digitalization, but also creates entirely new service formats and business models through intelligence and personalization. “It is reshaping the present and future of global trade in services,” Liang said. The theme of this year’s CIFTIS is “Embrace Intelligent Technologies, Empower Trade in Services.” With participation from 85 countries and international organizations, along with nearly 2,000 companies exhibiting on-site, the event will run for five days until Sept. 14. Since its inception in 2012, CIFTIS has brought together enterprises from around the world to share opportunities stemming from China’s opening up and development of trade in services.

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2025 – The transition of China’s service sector toward innovation and cutting-edge technologies is opening new avenues for global cooperation, said the head of one of the world’s largest accounting bodies. China has been committed to fostering innovation and developing new-quality productive forces, leading to robust domestic growth and delivery of high-quality services to its international partners, said Dale Pinto, president and chair of the board of CPA Australia, in a recent written interview with Xinhua ahead of the ongoing China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS). Caption: People visit a booth of Pop Mart during the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, capital of China, Sept. 10, 2025. The 2025 CIFTIS, held at Shougang Park in Beijing from Wednesday to Sunday, brings together Global Fortune 500 companies or industry-leading enterprises to showcase their accomplishments, with nearly 2,000 enterprises gearing up to participate in offline exhibitions. Australia, the guest country of honor at the 2025 CIFTIS, has assembled its largest-ever delegation for the fair this year. Noting that CPA Australia is attending the event for the second consecutive year, he said that Australia’s selection as the guest country of honor this year highlights the growing Australia-China cooperation in trade in services. “This sends a clear and positive message about both countries’ commitment to deepening their partnership,” he said. The CPA Australia chair expects the CIFTIS to further strengthen China-Australia trade ties in services, discover opportunities for cooperation between companies and institutions, and encourage the exchange of expertise among professionals. Trade in services is a major driver of Australia’s economy, and China, as one of Australia’s largest trading partners, presents significant market potential in the service sector, including for his organization, said Pinto. “As China continues to open its market and more Chinese companies look to overseas opportunities, the demand for professional services is expected to rise considerably in the years ahead,” he said, expressing his anticipation to cooperate with more companies, bodies and institutions to support their overseas expansion. Catption: Staff members take photos with a sign of the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing, capital of China, Sept. 10, 2025. He also mentioned China’s growing influence in global markets, saying that the country is playing an increasingly critical role in driving innovation and promoting sustainable trade in services worldwide. In the sector, particularly noticeable is the rapid expansion of knowledge-intensive services in China, such as software development and high-end design, he said, adding that the sector’s robust performance has deepened collaboration between China and other countries, and contributes significantly to sustained economic growth. “The essential drivers of these services, including capital, professional talent, data, and intelligence, are becoming more prominent within China’s economic landscape,” said Pinto. He further hailed China’s consistent efforts to open up its market, including increasing policy support, intensifying protection for data and intellectual property, raising professional standards and creating clear guidelines for sustainable development. An example is China’s action plan from 2022 to 2030 to support a reduction in carbon-based sources of energy. “The implementation plan outlines ten specific actions to promote science and technology for a green and low-carbon energy transition,” he said. Trade between China and Australia has witnessed steady growth over recent years. China has been Australia’s largest trading partner, export destination and source of imports for 16 consecutive years. “The opening of the Australian Country Pavilion at CIFTIS is a fitting opportunity to celebrate these achievements and to mark the beginning of deepened cooperation for shared growth,” said Pinto.

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 September 2025 – The culture and tourism services exhibition hall was among the most vibrant venues at the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), attracting dense crowds eager to explore the vibrant displays. People visit the Cultural & Tourism Service thematic exhibition area of the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) at Shougang Park in Beijing, capital of China, Sept. 13, 2025. The 2025 CIFTIS opens to the general public from Sept. 13 to 14. Visitors with reservation can access the fair free of charge. (Xinhua/Xu Qin) Visitors wandered through bustling aisles filled with a dazzling array of cultural and creative products, spanning from refrigerator magnets to postcards and beyond. The exhibition not only showcased China’s rich cultural heritage but also underscored the creative vitality of its cultural industries. Chinese companies are bridging tradition and modernity, merging national identity with global trends, and redefining cultural consumption. REVIVAL OF TRADITION Museum-inspired creative products have become a defining feature of cultural consumption. Recently, the “Phoenix Crown” magnet from the National Museum of China, based on historical artifacts, ignited a buying frenzy. At the CIFTIS culture and tourism services zone, local companies displayed their own creations, drawing inspiration from cultural landmarks. Ren Bin, product manager from a creative cultural company called Panjiayuan, said that they design their products from traditional cultural elements. “We preserve the beauty of artifacts while incorporating modern aesthetics — we hope to help more young people understand Chinese traditional culture,” he said. Alongside traditional culture, traditional crafts have also emerged as a new consumption hotspot. At the Fangshan district booth, staff demonstrated the process of grinding ingredients like agarwood, rose, and jasmine into fine powder, which was then transformed into delicate beads for bracelets and accessories. “These products are popular for their elegant scents and role in traditional Chinese aromatic therapy, making them ideal wellness souvenirs,” said Jiang Li, a staff member. CROSSOVER TRENDS Even the most contemporary toys are tapping into traditional influences. Chinese toy-maker Pop Mart showcased IP products blending traditional elements, such as Dunhuang Grottoes-inspired attire. While rooted in local culture, many trendy toy companies are expanding internationally. Shen Hao, public affairs general manager at Letsvan, said the company’s products now reach markets in Southeast Asia, North America, and the Middle East. “We actively incorporate overseas cultural elements,” he said, holding up a doll wearing traditional Thai attire, complete with an elephant-ear-shaped cap. “This creates cross-cultural connections.” The company is pursuing cross-sector collaborations, including recent partnerships with the China Open tennis tournament and China Fashion Week. Shen added that Letsvan will continue to innovate through cross-disciplinary integration. Hu Qiang, general manager of public relations at Letsvan, noted, “Every era has its iconic toys. Where Barbie represented idealized beauty, today’s dolls celebrate unique expressions and identity — reflecting young people’s desire for individuality. This demands we explore more diverse and interdisciplinary themes.” INTERACTIVE CONSUMPTION Throughout the exhibition hall, one activity captured widespread enthusiasm: stamp collecting. What began as a simple interactive experience has now become a cultural phenomenon. The stamp stations act as a subtle guide, encouraging visitors to explore every booth. Many visitors came prepared with blank booklets, turning stamp collecting into a cherished memory-keeping ritual. At the China National Film Museum booth, visitor Hu Huiyuan carefully pressed stamps into a new booklet. “I already have several stamp books at home,” she explained. “Because CIFTIS is so expansive, I started a dedicated one just for this event.” To her, these collections are more than mementos — they’re tangible records of life’s journey. The trend has also taken an artistic turn: multiple layered stamps can form composite images, with each impression adding new colors or details. This transforms simple stamp collecting into a personalized visual art, boosting both engagement and creativity. In fact, this craving for deeper interaction now fuels cultural consumption. Across the hall, visitors queued to try mixed-reality (MR) experiences through wearable devices, immersing themselves in interactive virtual worlds or taking digital tours of global landmarks.

Disciplined execution of both our cost optimization initiatives and portfolio innovation efforts helped stimulate growth and profitability. The expansion in operating margin and earnings underscores the effectiveness of our strategy. I am particularly pleased with the successful expansion of our international business, which is now making a meaningful contribution to the overall performance. Jollibee international is delivering strong growth despite softness in the broader US market. The Coffee and Tea segment continues its upward trajectory, emerging as one of the fastest-growing segments. Expansion across key geographies is driving incremental revenue and margin enhancement. Compose Coffee is set to surpass 3,000 stores and remains on track to deliver a 36% Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) in 2025, demonstrating the value-creating potential of this acquisition. Smashburger has a clearly defined path toward improving financial performance, supported by operational improvements, product innovations and conversion of company-owned stores to franchised stores. China is showing early signs of recovery, marking a potential turnaround in performance. Our strategic shift toward franchising, combined with disciplined capital allocation, is enhancing asset efficiency and ROIC. Today 69% of our stores operate under a franchised model, reflecting our ongoing transition to a more capital-light structure. We also continue to deploy capital expenditures selectively, with a focus on supporting the growth in the U.S., Philippines, Jollibee international and coffee and tea brands. This balanced approach ensures that our investments are aligned with both strategic priorities and return objectives. We remain

These moments are captured in a cinematic brand film comprising five vignettes, each illustrating that while life does not always go to plan, the right support can help individuals live ready for whatever comes next. “Singaporeans are more financially aware than ever, yet there is still a sense of uncertainty about the future,” said Raymond Ong, CEO of Etiqa Insurance Singapore. “Readiness is not about having all the answers, but about having a trusted partner who gives you the confidence to move forward.
