On Global ALS/MND Awareness Day, we explore this silent battle, witnessing journeys of resilience and hope. Through AI, we hear a patient's defiant message against the disease.

At the 6th Qingdao Multinationals Summit, leaders from companies like U.S.-based Avanci, Ireland's TE Connectivity and vessel management giant OSM Thome shared why China is more than a market – it's a trusted partner, innovation hub and second home.
