Why all eyes are on delivery riders and red lights

In the travel stories and videos they post online, many foreign tourists claim that China's public security system is among the best in the world, reasoning that a woman can walk alone on the streets safely, even late at night, and that thieves and beggars have largely disappeared.

While I agree with them, I must point out that they have probably overlooked something that continues to bother us — thousands of electric bike riders — particularly delivery riders — who continue to run red lights while darting ahead, posing a threat to pedestrians and themselves alike.

Whenever I step out, my family members ask me to watch out for delivery riders, some of whom run red lights, ride against traffic, or speed along sidewalks.

China has at least 380 million such e-bikes that are categorized as non-motorized vehicles. While these e-bikes should run at speeds of no more than 25 kilometers per hour, many riders ignore the limits and drive at a much higher speed. As a result, accidents involving e-bikes occur frequently.

Statistics from Beijing show that 35 percent of fatal traffic accidents last year involved e-bikes, with 24.4 percent connected with running a red light.

In the past few years, I have witnessed a few such accidents at crossings near my home; in fact, some of my family members and I have suffered scratches after being grazed by e-bikes being driven by delivery riders.
Though scared and angry, we let them go without asking for any compensation.

Deep in our hearts, we have sympathy for the riders who work long hours come rain or shine and under great pressure to meet delivery deadlines.
In the past few years, many cities have tightened the reins on these delivery riders by imposing heavy fines on those breaking the law. But the number of e-bike riders in the country is so huge that it is difficult to catch all the offenders. At most, cities can mobilize all their resources for a few days' campaign to check all offending e-bikes.

But such regulations fail to address why delivery riders are in such a tearing hurry and run a red light sometimes — they are working under tight schedules.

Delivery is a huge industry in China. People order food, medicines and many other essential items on online platforms, and can usually expect delivery at their door within an hour.

But huge competition among different delivery platforms pushes each platform to make delivery within the shortest possible time to win more customers.

As a result, many platforms promise delivery in less than an hour, and it's the riders who shoulder the time pressure.

When a rider is required to cross five intersections to make a delivery 3-4 kilometers away within 15 minutes, a failure could lead to a bad review and corresponding fines from the platform. Therefore, delivery riders are left with no choice but to run red lights, go against traffic and ride on sidewalks as they rush to complete a delivery.

But there is good news for the riders and for us all in Beijing where the authorities and the country's major delivery platforms are talking about sharing the city's traffic information to make the platforms' time requirements more reasonable. This way the platforms will be provided with information about how long each red light lasts so that they can adjust their network systems to make a fresh estimate of how much time it would take for the riders to make a delivery after adding the time spent at a red light, without running it.

It may still be too early to celebrate, though. According to a Beijing Youth Daily report, the trial can be a success only when the new system can make accurate judgments of the ever-changing traffic situation.
Besides, Beijing has about 12,000 traffic lights and only about 60 percent of them are connected and jointly controlled.

Many cities, I guess, are watching with bated breath for Beijing's experiment, which, if successful, can be replicated across the country, for the benefit of riders, and pedestrians such as you and me.

Global Media Spotlight | Foreign Media Focus on Upcoming APEC Summit and Asia-Pacific Cooperation

ITransBook — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 07:37:47 +0000

The 2026 APEC CEO Summit and the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting will be held in Shenzhen in November. Foreign media have taken note.

An article published on October 12 by the US-based website The Diplomat stated that the upcoming APEC summit provides a highly practical platform for exchanges between China and the United States.

The article said that approximately 1,000 business leaders will gather in Shenzhen for the APEC CEO Summit, and artificial intelligence has been formally placed on the meeting agenda.

Screenshot of a report from the US-based website The Diplomat

The article said that Shenzhen, known as the "Silicon Valley of the East," has long had China's densest cluster of artificial intelligence and robotics enterprises. Shenzhen has already hosted multiple AI-related seminars under the APEC framework. The article argued that China and the United States could expand cooperation on standards related to the application of artificial intelligence in third countries, including data governance and security assessment.

The article also argued that the dialogue between China and the United States on artificial intelligence will be an ongoing exchange, and over time, the two sides will gradually develop some consensus and explore sustainable models of AI competition.

A report by Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) noted that a new border crossing between Hong Kong, China and Shenzhen—the new Huanggang Port—was put into use before the APEC summit in November. The report said it is the world's largest land port by single-building floor area, with a construction area of approximately 690,000 square meters. The port operates 24-hour clearance and can handle up to 200,000 passengers per day.

The article said that previously, traveler clearance between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong required separate exit and entry inspection procedures in each location. The new port simplifies the process to one-stop inspection. The time required for traveler clearance has been reduced from the original 30 minutes to 5 minutes.

In addition, Vietnam's VietnamPlus website published an article stating that under the 2026 APEC framework, financial connectivity between Vietnam and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China will be further expanded.

The article cited the views of Dr. Jonathan Choi, chairman of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce of Hong Kong and a long-time investor in the Vietnamese market, saying that Hong Kong, China is a mature international financial center with extensive experience in listing and corporate financing services, and that Vietnam and Hong Kong, China can strengthen their ties. The article said that in addition to infrastructure construction, Vietnam and Hong Kong, China also have enormous cooperation potential in areas such as green energy, green transition, and the digital economy.

Crossing Mountains and Seas to Keep an Appointment, Tourism as a Bridge Promotes Mutual Understanding Between the Chinese and American Peoples

ITransBook — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 08:37:57 +0000

The key to sound relations between states lies in the affinity between their peoples, which stems from mutual understanding. In recent years, with China's visa-free policies continuing to expand, port clearance services constantly upgrading, and inbound supporting services increasingly improving, the threshold for traveling to China has continued to lower. More and more American tourists are crossing the ocean to visit China, immersing themselves in its mountain and water scenery, urban vitality, and cultural heritage. Tourism has become the most vivid and down-to-earth vehicle for friendly people-to-people exchanges between China and the United States, building a warm bridge for the two countries to break down cognitive barriers and enhance mutual understanding.

Continuously optimized policies and refined services have created better conditions for American tourists' travel. The 240-hour transit visa-free policy applies to the United States and more than 50 other countries. Combined with a series of optimized measures such as online verification and ticket purchasing with foreign passports, multilingual smart devices at scenic spots, convenient payment with overseas bank cards, and upgraded digital travel services, these have addressed the practical pain points of overseas tourists regarding internet access, payment, and transportation, making American tourists' travel to China smoother and more convenient.

On May 23, an inbound travel customization specialist (left) led an American tourist on a cycling tour of Wukang Road in Shanghai.

Firsthand experience continues to break down preconceived notions. When 29-year-old photographer Delaney Massar from New York first set foot on Chinese soil, she still had some one-sided impressions of China in her mind. But after visiting Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Lishui, and other places, the reality of modern urban landscapes blending with ancient mountains and waters completely overturned her previous perceptions, reshaping a three-dimensional, vivid impression of China.

Today, American tourists' travel patterns in China have long since evolved and upgraded, moving away from superficial check-the-box sightseeing toward deep immersive experiences. Many tourists no longer cling to "speed-run" travel guides and are willing to slow down and delve deeply into one place. American tourist Tim had originally planned a multi-city speed tour, but became captivated by Beijing's ancient capital charm and diverse scenery—after several days, he still hadn't made it out of Beijing. "Palaces, hutongs, mountains and waters, gardens, food streets... I've never seen any country or city with such rich tourism resources!" he said. "Can't finish exploring, simply can't finish exploring!"

From famous landmarks to everyday street life, American tourists increasingly prefer to delve into local life and experience the real lives of ordinary people. During this year's "May Day" holiday, an American family came to Zhangjiajie, Hunan. However, they chose not to take the cable car, but instead hiked along Golden Whip Stream, stopping and going along the way—pausing whenever they saw monkeys, and crouching down to ask endless questions whenever they spotted giant salamanders in the water. Their travel customization specialist couldn't help but exclaim: "In that moment, you realize they're not checking off a scenic spot—they're getting to know this landscape bit by bit."

In addition, in-depth experience programs such as intangible cultural heritage experiences, local cuisine, and everyday street life are also highly favored. Recently, many foreign tourists have added eyeglass fitting to their itineraries, and American tourist Andres Gonzalez also experienced "Shanghai eyeglass fitting." He praised China's eyeglass fitting for its high cost-effectiveness, excellent quality, and professional and efficient service, truly experiencing the meticulous and thoughtful livelihood services.

Equally noteworthy is that young Americans, represented by "Gen Z," are becoming a new major force in tourism to China. Twenty-year-old American travel content creator Reed Adams used to observe China through online maps when he was a child. Over the years, he noticed that many modern facilities had been added to China's rural areas and cities, which sparked his interest in China's development journey. Last year, he traveled to Chengdu, Chongqing, Shanghai, and other places, and posted his experiences on social media, garnering over 4 million views.

American travel bloggers Kara and Nate's trip from Shanghai to Beijing was filled with tech-savvy experiences such as drone food delivery, robot-themed restaurants, and riding in driverless cars. As of September 21, their video titled "Life in China in 2050" had reached 1.42 million views on YouTube.
Currently, on overseas social platforms, content related to travel in China continues to grow in popularity. Many American "Gen Z" individuals are attracted by China's modern urban landscapes, three-dimensional cityscapes, and convenient digital life, adding China to their travel lists. Through travel and online content, young people are breaking out of established narratives and building a more diverse and objective understanding of China.

Mountains and rivers as the medium, journeys connecting hearts. Travel is the best communication. Encounters that cross mountains and seas are worth more than a thousand words. When American tourists walk among China's cities and mountains, seeing with their own eyes and feeling for themselves, they build channels of understanding between people. Each journey, each encounter, accumulates an endless stream of people-to-people strength for China-U.S. friendship.

What Exactly Is the China-U.S. AI Path Debate Really About?

ITransBook — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 02:15:59 +0000

Currently, global AI is at a critical juncture of accelerating technological paradigm shifts and geopolitical restructuring. The debate between open-source and closed-source paths in China and the U.S. is not merely a divergence in technological evolution paths in the ordinary sense, but a strategic extension of the China-U.S. geopolitical tech rivalry into underlying technological architectures, industrial control, and global rule-making power. The clash of these two technological paths will profoundly reshape the underlying logic of the global intelligence era and the geopolitical competition landscape.

In recent years, Silicon Valley giants represented by OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google have built a "technology tower" centered on closed-source business models, leveraging massive capital investment and supercomputing clusters. Meanwhile, open-source forces led by Chinese tech companies (such as Alibaba's Qwen series, DeepSeek, and Zhipu GLM) as well as some open factions in the U.S. (such as Meta's Llama series) have risen rapidly through efficient algorithm architectures and open ecosystems.

Overall, top U.S. AI labs adhering to the closed-source path is essentially a deep entanglement of Washington's desire to maintain technological hegemony with Silicon Valley's high-investment, high-compute, high-premium capital logic. The American closed-source model, represented by OpenAI's latest reasoning model GPT-5.6 Sol, Anthropic's Claude Opus 5, and Google's Gemini 3.5/3.6 series, relies on computing walls built from tens of thousands of top-tier GPUs and their data engineering, attempting to monopolize frontier exploration. The U.S. encapsulates model capabilities in cloud APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), on the one hand creating a highly controllable commercial monetization loop, and on the other turning them into a geopolitical tool. By bundling "national security" with closed-source controls, Washington has formed a "security narrative," arguing that cutting-edge AI models pose "potential national security risks" and must be centrally monopolized by a handful of Western companies. This reliance on high API subscription fees and cloud binding not only raises the financial threshold for small and medium-sized enterprises worldwide to access high-end AI, but also traps countries lacking native computing support in severe "digital dependency" and even strategic passivity.

Facing U.S. chip export controls and computing containment, China's tech forces have taken open source as a strategic breakthrough, exploring an asymmetric game path of extreme algorithmic efficiency and large-scale industrial deployment. In terms of algorithms, DeepSeek achieved performance comparable to Silicon Valley's closed-source peak at lower cost, directly breaking the iron law that "breakthroughs require billions of dollars in high-energy consumption stacking." In terms of ecosystem, large models like Alibaba's Qwen 2.5 rank first globally in open-source community downloads, making them one of the most favored foundational bases for developers worldwide. A report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) under Congress points out that China has two different competitive advantages: "digital circulation" and "physical circulation." Open-source models lower the barrier to AI deployment, quickly entering massive physical scenarios such as manufacturing, logistics, and robotics, and the data and demand generated by these scenarios in turn drive continuous model iteration. The "flywheel effect" of efficient algorithms, open ecosystems, and industrial validation reinforcing each other gives China's AI strong survival and catch-up capabilities even under strict computing blockades.

The open vs. closed source debate between China and the U.S. has accelerated the "rebalancing" of global tech geopolitics, providing strategic opportunities for the "Global South" and neutral economies (such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America) to escape the squeeze between major powers and reshape their technological sovereignty. For European and Middle Eastern countries, transferring core industrial or national government data to Silicon Valley giants' cloud servers is an unacceptable compliance and security risk; developing hundred-billion-parameter models entirely from scratch faces astronomical resource thresholds. Under these circumstances, high-performance open-source models represented by Qwen, DeepSeek, and Llama have become the "digital new infrastructure" for these countries to build localized AI infrastructure. After fine-tuning open-source bases with local languages and deploying them privately, local institutions in France, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, and other countries can obtain highly cost-effective, autonomous and controllable models. Open source is transforming AI from a "strategic embargoed good" controlled by a few countries into global "public infrastructure."

The open vs. closed source debate has also evolved into a contest over global AI safety, governance, and compliance paradigms. The closed-source camp has long treated the "black box model" as the best defense against malicious use of models (creating bioweapons, cyberattacks, etc.), using this as a justification for maintaining blockades and imposing high-threshold administrative reviews. However, as open-source model capabilities reach critical thresholds, the narrative of achieving security through obscurity is being deconstructed by academia and the international community. More and more international standardization organizations and legislative bodies recognize that excessive closed-source review can easily become a barrier to geopolitical monopoly, and that "transparent, auditable, multi-stakeholder" open-source governance is the best way to build globally trustworthy AI systems.

Looking ahead, the global AI landscape will not see a one-sided "complete blockade" or "full replacement," but rather a dual-track competition. The closed-source path represented by some U.S. labs will continue to rely on absolute scale of capital and computing to conduct high-risk exploration on the unknown frontier toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI); while the open path represented by China and the global open-source community, relying on high cost-effectiveness, good scenario matching, and a foundation of millions of developers, will become the main engine driving AI technology into all industries. The strategic game between China and the U.S. on open vs. closed source paths has objectively broken through barriers of technological monopoly and accelerated the pace of global technology inclusiveness. A multipolar, resilient, and multi-stakeholder global AI new order is rapidly taking shape.

Institution: The AI boom is masking the rising risks in the US economy

ITransBook — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 10:32:48 +0000

Nomura, an international financial institution, said in a recently released research report that the large-scale development of artificial intelligence (AI) has become an important engine of US economic growth, but it is also putting pressure on the US economy in multiple ways. If AI development suffers a setback, it may expose the rising risk premium in the United States.

The report said the risks brought by the US AI boom include rising chip and electricity prices pushing inflation higher, a surge in imports of chips and technology equipment widening the trade deficit, and large cloud computing companies issuing large amounts of bonds pushing up US Treasury yields.

In addition, due to net capital inflows and abnormal capital gains from the AI-driven rise in the US stock market, the net liability position of US international investment (that is, dollar assets held by the rest of the world) has increased significantly. According to calculations by Nomura analysts, the ratio of the net liability position of US international investment to the total net asset position of all net creditor countries has soared to 80%.

The report pointed out that because US stock market valuations are high and economic fundamentals are weakening, if AI development suffers a setback, it may trigger a major adjustment in US capital markets. Given foreign investors' large exposure to US stocks and the leverage and circular financing within the AI ecosystem, such an adjustment could turn into a "global risk-off event."

The report said some views hold that dollar assets are "irreplaceable" due to the large size of the US economy, the depth and liquidity of its capital markets, and the status of the dollar as the global reserve currency. However, the pillars on which the dominant position of dollar assets rests are weakening, and external trust in US fiscal and trade policies, security assurance policies, and the independence of the Federal Reserve has all declined.

The report pointed out that the United States still relies heavily on foreign capital inflows to make up for its continuously expanding fiscal and current account deficits, but the massive twin deficits cannot be sustained. The mounting debt burden is like a "ticking time bomb," and the related pressure is accumulating.

The report argued that given the surge in the net liability position of US international investment and the high concentration of other countries' international investment assets in the United States, moderate de-risking by foreign investors would be "enough to trigger a depreciation of the dollar."

Robots don't need visas

ITransBook — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 14:44:37 +0000

This August, Beijing's E-Town is buzzing. The 2026 World Robot Conference held its first-ever procurement day, with buyers coming from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. A Thai farmer wanted to check out crop-protection robots, a Saudi contractor was eyeing inspection robot dogs, and a Latin American plantation owner was asking about the price of harvesting robots. Their questions were all down-to-earth: Can this machine help me get the work done?

Around the same time, Washington slapped a new label on robots: a threat to national security. That same day, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission updated its list of regulated equipment, adding new Chinese-made humanoid robots and quadruped robots. Of course, being cautious about new technology is understandable. When the spinning jenny first appeared, weavers feared the iron contraption would eat people and stormed the factories to smash it to pieces; when the camera first came out, plenty of people ducked away from the lens, worried that a flash would steal their souls. Every invention that changed the world has gone through a stage of being doubted. Security concerns are real and deserve serious attention.
But caution and shutting the door are two different things. Robots have eyes, legs, and internet connectivity—but by those three criteria, smartphones check all the boxes, electric cars check all the boxes, and even the robot vacuum cleaner at home checks all the boxes. A better approach to new things might be like airport security: every passenger gets screened, but the airport doesn't refuse anyone boarding based on nationality. Giving robots a check-up—setting standards, issuing certifications, and auditing data—is far more effective and reassuring than simply rejecting them at the door.

Besides, the world's need for robots right now may be greater than many imagine. Much of the globe is aging, and fewer young people are around to work. Factories in Vietnam can't fill their shifts, construction sites in the Middle East hit 50 degrees Celsius in summer, and plantations in Latin America are short of hands every harvest season. Robots aren't here to steal jobs; more often, they're here to fill the gaps that no one wants to fill—or that no one is left to fill. A robot sent down a mine shaft replaces a person risking their life to go down there; a robot working in a high-temperature workshop takes over the labor that humans can't endure.

China's experience is a case in point. China's robotics industry chain wasn't built behind closed doors; it was forged in openness. Over the decades, foreign brands set up factories in China, global components gathered here, and fierce competition pushed Chinese companies to learn, step by step, how to make robot joints and brains—and to make them better and better. Today, Chinese companies account for more than half of all humanoid robot models worldwide, and for every ten quadruped robots sold, nearly seven come from China. More importantly, costs have come down, and automation is no longer a privilege of wealthy countries—factories and farms in developing nations can afford it too. Openness didn't crush China's industry chain; it fed it into the most complete one on the planet. China is willing to share that experience, along with these robots, with the world.

At the end of the day, robots are by nature a product of global cooperation. Japan's precision joints, Europe's motors, America's chips, China's assembled machines and application scenarios—none of it works without the others. When a river meets a dam, the water doesn't disappear; it just goes around, and someone eventually has to pay the cost of that detour. Maintaining the network of cooperation serves everyone's interests.

Robots don't need visas. They just want to go where people need them to work. Security can be safeguarded through standards, and competition can be about who builds better, cheaper, and more capable solutions—and in that kind of competition, the whole world wins. Next time a robot shows up at the door, maybe the real question isn't where it came from, but what it can help us do.
