SHANGHAI, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The year 2025 marked the 41th anniversary of the re-establishment of Antai College of Economics and Management (ACEM), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). ACEM made remarkable achievements in discipline development, academic research, industry research, and exchanges and cooperation. ACEM ranked the world's 5th in the FT Masters in Management latest Ranking and the world's 1st in employment. Five of its disciplines ranked among the global top 50, with "Business & Management Studies""Statistics & Operational Research" in the top 30 of the 2025 QS World University Rankings by Subject. In World University Rankings 2025 by subject: Business and Economics, ACEM ranked 25th globally and 3rd in China. The MBA program was among the top three in Chinese Mainland for six consecutive years in QS Global MBA Rankings. The educational programs of ACEM further expanded. ACEM entered into a cooperative agreement with CUHK to launch a dual-degree program in Finance and FinTech, the first of its kind between universities in Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. ACEM also further built platforms and deepened cooperation with top-notch universities such as Columbia University, Tsinghua University, and Chinese University of Hong Kong as well as benchmark companies such as CATL and Bank of China (BOC) to create new driving forces for industry-university-research collaborative development. In 2024 ACEM established three new research institutes, entered into an agreement with CATL to jointly build the 21st Century Institute for Global Enterprise, and launched the SJTU Institute for Intelligent Computing (IIC) and the Environmental, Social and Governance Research Institute. "ACEM have embarked on the next phase of development, the journey to the top. The center of our strategy is to promote industry research. The future Antai will have not only academic field experts but also industry experts." says by Chen Frangruo, Dean of ACEM.

China carefully assembling a deep-sea mining strategy
So-called polymetallic nodules like those seen in this 2016 photograph from Japan are at the heart of the race to mine ocean floors for valuable minerals and metals By Amelie Bottolier-Depois and Mary Yang In a world hungry for crucial resources, China may not be poised to start deep-sea mining but it is planting seeds for such operations in a meticulously planned economic and geopolitical strategy. The world's oceans, both international waters and those under national jurisdiction, are rich in minerals and metals, like cobalt, nickel and copper. These are important for building electric car batteries, for instance, and other technologies as countries try to transition away from fossil fuels. China "is an energy-thirsty country. It will look for resources everywhere," including the deep sea, said Julia Xue of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. But she said China is not particularly anxious over the issue, although recent developments -- one company is itching to be the first to start mining the sea bed -- may put more pressure on Beijing. A Canadian firm, The Metals Company, has filed an application with the United States to begin undersea mining in international waters. Using its American subsidiary, it acted after President Donald Trump, bypassing international negotiations, signed an executive order in April to speed up the permit-issuing process for such mining in U.S. and international waters. Trump cited an obscure 1980 U.S. law that says American citizens can explore for and recover deep sea minerals in areas beyond the country's jurisdiction. Environmental groups are outraged by Trump's order, arguing that a wild hunt for the potato-sized, metal-containing nodules could harm fragile undersea ecosystems. The Canadian company initially said it would submit its request to the International Seabed Authority (ISA), a body which has jurisdiction over the ocean floor in international waters. The Metals Company says it ignored this authority because of its slow pace in talks on adopting a mining code that establishes rules for exploiting seabed resources. The United States is not an ISA member. A long-time observer of those talks who spoke on condition of anonymity said China is not particularly worried about who starts mining first. "For them it's more about dominance, staying competitive in the game, and giving the impression that you can't mess with us," the observer said. With that goal in mind "they're definitely developing the technology and putting the strategic agreements in place," Alex Gilbert, a researcher at the Payne Institute for Public Policy at Colorado School of Mines, told AFP. For instance, China has reached an agreement with the Cook Islands to explore for minerals in that Pacific country's waters. Another tiny Pacific nation, Kiribati, also says it is exploring a deep-sea mining partnership with China. This approach is "more geopolitical than economic," said Emmanuel Hache of the French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs, noting Beijing is using undersea mining as a lure to cement greater diplomatic support as it exerts power. China holds five contracts handed out by the ISA to look for resources in the Pacific and Indian Ocean sea beds and these contracts cover all types of undersea mineral resources. China's is the largest number of the 22 contracts the organization has granted. "From a research perspective, we have been continuously getting closer. And from a technical perspective, we have been continuously improving," said Chen Xuguang, a researcher at Ocean University of China. In 2024 a Chinese prototype deep-sea mining vehicle called Pioneer II, developed by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, set a national record by operating at a depth of more than 4,000 meters (13,100 feet). State-owned Beijing Pioneer Hi-Tech Development Corporation told AFP that later this year it plans a seabed nodule collection test. Still, China is not as advanced technologically as The Metals Company, experts say. "I would characterize China as being two to four years behind them in terms of their technology," said Gilbert in Colorado. Hache, the French expert, put the gap at five years. But China has an advantage over firms like the Canadian one in recovering and processing nodules: its companies are supported by the state and China has infrastructure for processing metals. The observer of the international seabed talks said China does not need seabed mining for metal supply, "but maybe geopolitically, in the context of maintaining their control over the commodities market." China wants to keep its options open, this person said. And while it supports an international mining code, China does not need one now and "they're not going to put pressure until they've decided strategically that they're ready," said Gilbert. © 2025 AFP

China's photonic chip debut to power AI, 6G and quantum computing advances, expert says
As China joins the international drive to mass produce high-performance photonic chips, an industry pioneer said the technical performance of its chips will position the country for major advances in artificial intelligence (AI), 6G and quantum computing Shanghai Jiao Tong University Chip Hub for Integrated Photonics Xplore (CHIPX) announced on June 5 that it had begun producing 6-inch (15.2cm) wafers for thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic chips, which rely on light – or photons – rather than electrical signals for information transmission and processing. While this is China's first pilot production line for photonic chips, Europe and the US are already established in the field. Dutch company SMART Photonics last year upgraded its line to process 4-inch InP wafers, and California-based PsiQuantum revealed in February that it was adapting a 300mm silicon photonics line. China's pilot production line, built on the new TFLN material, may have come later but it is already showing gains in terms of technical performance by overcoming a global limit for high-speed optical links. TFLN is an emerging high-performance optoelectronic material known for its ultra-fast electro-optic effect, high bandwidth and low power consumption. But its brittle nature has hindered large-scale manufacturing. The team at CHIPX worked for several years to create the country's breakthrough in photonic chips. Photo: Handout 'Establishing this stable production line is the result of nearly 15 years of effort,' said Professor Jin Xianmin, director of CHIPX.
