CGTN: How China helps build a world where women thrive and shine
As the world marks International Women’s Day, CGTN published an article highlighting China’s progress in advancing women’s development at home and promoting gender equality globally. It examines how Chinese women are playing an increasingly prominent role in innovation and modernization, and how China’s initiatives and international cooperation are helping women around the world thrive and shine.
Li Ying, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Wednesday outlined her vision for China’s maritime future – “bigger, smarter, greener” – at the first group interview of the annual session of China’s top political advisory body.
Li, a professor at Dalian Maritime University, highlighted China’s world-leading maritime fleet, its first domestically-built large cruise ship, and green port advances, including eight zero-carbon pilot ports and 70% of global new green ship orders.
The maritime scientific researcher is a shining example of the growing force of female talent in China’s technology sector, where women now account for nearly half and are increasingly taking on leadership roles in driving innovation across industries.
This momentum in women’s development is highlighted by wider recognition, especially ahead of International Women’s Day on March 8, when Chinese President Xi Jinping extended greetings and best wishes to the country’s women of all ethnic groups and walks of life.
Xi’s greetings echo a long-standing commitment to women’s empowerment. Women play an important role in creating, promoting and carrying forward human civilization, he has said. “On the new journey of Chinese modernization, every woman is a star.”
‘Women hold up half the sky’ in China
In China, the women’s development has always been an integral part of the country’s modernization efforts, with steady progress achieved across education, health and economic participation.
Targeted poverty alleviation since 2013 has helped lift millions of women out of poverty, contributing to a moderately prosperous life for about 690 million women. Meanwhile, the maternal mortality rate fell by 76.9% from 61.9 per 100,000 in 1995 to 14.3 per 100,000 in 2024, far below the global average, according to a white paper.
Women today account for over 45% of the country’s sci-tech workforce and more than half of internet entrepreneurs, milestones that testify to the Chinese saying that “women hold up half the sky.”
These accomplishments are rooted in institutional guarantees and decisive actions. Gender equality is enshrined as a basic national policy, while policies such as targeted poverty reduction, vocational training, universal education access and improved healthcare provide systematic support for women’s development.
“In the new era, Chinese women, more confident and vibrant than ever before, are taking part in the whole process of state and social governance,” Xi has once observed. “They are writing a splendid history of the cause of women in China.”
China builds bridges for global women’s progress
On the international stage, China has engaged in global governance on women’s issues, established platforms for exchange and cooperation between Chinese and foreign women, and contributed to fostering an international environment conducive to women’s development.
By 2025, China had trained more than 200,000 women professionals from over 180 countries and regions, delivered more than 100 training programs for women and children in the Global South and carried out women’s empowerment projects in more than 20 countries, reflecting its commitment to advancing gender equality through concrete South-South cooperation.
China has also co-established the UNESCO Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education, and launched projects advancing digital education, healthcare and vocational skills for girls in Africa.
A significant milestone came last year, when Beijing hosted the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women, which was also held in the Chinese capital in 1995.
Addressing the meeting back in October, Xi called for efforts to support the UN’s central role, address women’s needs in developing countries, create cooperation platforms and deepen exchanges so as to “help women across the world thrive and shine together.”
The Chinese president also announced new measures, including a $10 million donation to UN Women and $100 million from China’s Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund for projects benefiting women and girls over the next five years.
The country, he added, will support 1,000 “small and beautiful” livelihood programs that prioritize women and girls as beneficiaries, invite 50,000 women worldwide to China for exchange and training and establish a Global Center for Women’s Capacity Building.
Nahla Haidar, chair of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, noted that China’s practices not only advance domestic development but also provide valuable experience for the region and the world.

London, United Kingdom, August 14th, 2026, FinanceWire
Trading platform marks major client milestone with cash referral rewards, premium technology prizes and vacation experiences.
ARKBRIDGE has reached 50,000 clients, marking a significant milestone in the trading platform’s continued expansion and the next stage of its broader growth strategy.
To celebrate the achievement, ARKBRIDGE is launching a new Referral Rewards Program for eligible clients in permitted jurisdictions, allowing clients to invite friends to the platform and receive both cash rewards and milestone prizes.
The program follows a simple structure: clients share their personal ARKBRIDGE referral link, their friend joins the platform and completes an eligible first deposit, and the referring client becomes eligible for a cash reward and additional milestone benefits.
Under the program, eligible clients can receive 5% of a referred friend’s qualifying first deposit, up to $5,000 in cash, subject to the applicable program terms.
As referral milestones are reached, clients can also unlock premium rewards including:
- Android tablet or Apple iPad
- Flagship smartphone or ultrabook
- Weekend vacation for two
The referral dashboard is integrated directly into the ARKBRIDGE client area, allowing users to access their unique referral link, monitor successful referrals and follow their progress toward the next reward.
From a Limited Client Base to 50,000 Clients
ARKBRIDGE has been operating since 2020, initially serving a more limited client base before expanding broader access to new traders and investors in 2026.
The company’s growth to 50,000 clients therefore represents more than a recent platform launch. It reflects several years of platform development, client operations and trading infrastructure, followed by a broader expansion of the ARKBRIDGE offering.
The new referral program is designed to build on that growth by rewarding existing clients who introduce the platform to people within their own networks.
“Reaching 50,000 clients is an important milestone for ARKBRIDGE and for the team that has been building the platform since 2020,” said Richard Ashford, CIO of ARKBRIDGE. “Our next phase is about continuing to grow while maintaining the areas that matter most to clients: secure account access, clear handling of client-related funds and reliable access to deposits and withdrawals.”
Growth Built Around Client-Funds Handling and Account Security
As ARKBRIDGE expands, client-funds handling and account protection remain central components of its operating framework.
Client-related funds are recorded against individual trading-account balances and maintained separately from funds allocated to ordinary company operating expenses.
ARKBRIDGE also performs daily internal reconciliations covering client deposits, withdrawals, individual account balances, completed and pending transactions, payment-provider information, refunds and account adjustments.
Material discrepancies identified during reconciliation are assigned for investigation and corrective action by the relevant finance, payments or compliance personnel.
Account access is supported by additional security controls including:
- Two-factor authentication
- Device and session monitoring
- Verification of sensitive account changes
- Withdrawal authentication
- Identity-verification procedures
- Security notifications
- Controls for unusual account activity
Two-factor authentication can provide an additional verification step when clients access their accounts, use a new device, change sensitive information or request a withdrawal.
ARKBRIDGE has also published a dedicated Client Funds Handling and Account Security Statement, giving clients detailed information about these procedures and the operational controls applied to their accounts.
Secure Deposits and Reliable Access to Withdrawals
Access to funds is another major focus of the ARKBRIDGE client experience.
Clients can fund their accounts through supported:
- Bank transfers
- Payment cards
- Digital-asset payment channels
Withdrawal requests can be submitted directly through the ARKBRIDGE client area, through the supported trading application or with assistance from customer support.
Before funds are released, ARKBRIDGE may verify the client’s identity, ownership of the trading account and ownership of the receiving bank account, card or digital wallet.
Additional verification can be applied when a new withdrawal destination is added, payment information changes, an unfamiliar device is used or unusual account activity is detected.
These controls are designed to combine efficient access to client funds with protection against unauthorised withdrawals and payment fraud.
Verified bank withdrawals can be processed on the same or following business day and normally reach the receiving account within one to three working days. International transfers and certain card withdrawals may require up to five working days, while individual banking networks can occasionally require additional processing time.
Standard bank and card withdrawals generally do not carry an ARKBRIDGE withdrawal fee, although third-party banks, intermediaries or payment providers may apply their own charges.
A Referral Program Built Into the Client Experience
The new referral program has been integrated directly into the ARKBRIDGE private client area.
Participating clients receive their own unique invitation link, which can be shared directly with friends through messaging, email or social channels.
The process works in three stages:
1. Share a personal invitation link
Every participating client receives a unique referral link through the ARKBRIDGE dashboard.
2. Friend joins and completes an eligible deposit
Once the referred client successfully creates an account, completes the required verification and makes a qualifying first deposit, the referral becomes eligible under the program terms.
3. Earn cash and unlock milestone rewards
Eligible referring clients can receive 5% of the qualifying first deposit, up to $5,000 in cash, while successful referrals also contribute toward additional milestone rewards.
Those rewards include an iPad or Android tablet, a flagship smartphone or ultrabook, and ultimately a weekend vacation for two.
Clients can monitor their referral count and progress directly from their personal ARKBRIDGE dashboard.
More Than a Growth Campaign
The referral launch comes as ARKBRIDGE continues to expand its trading ecosystem across account security, payments, trading technology and risk-management functionality.
The platform combines web and mobile trading technology with account-balance monitoring, stop-loss and take-profit functionality, margin controls, analytical tools and human client support.
For ARKBRIDGE, the 50,000-client milestone represents both growth and a larger responsibility to maintain the operational standards that clients rely on.
“Growth only matters if clients continue to trust the infrastructure behind the platform,” Ashford added. “Whether someone is making their first deposit, managing their account or requesting a withdrawal, the experience needs to be clear, secure and dependable.”
Looking Ahead
ARKBRIDGE plans to continue expanding its client services and platform functionality as it enters its next stage of growth.
The company’s priorities include continued development of account-security controls, payment and withdrawal infrastructure, trading technology and tools designed to help clients monitor portfolio and market risk.
The new Referral Rewards Program is available to eligible ARKBRIDGE clients in permitted jurisdictions and is subject to the full program terms, qualifying-deposit requirements, reward availability and applicable local restrictions.

Anderson Seamless Gutters is expanding gutter repair services in Riverview, Florida, as homeowners address leaks, sagging systems, overflow, and drainage problems that can contribute to property damage.
Tampa, Florida, United States, 14th Aug 2026 — Anderson Seamless Gutters is expanding its gutter repair services in Riverview as homeowners throughout the growing Hillsborough County community address aging, damaged, and poorly performing residential drainage systems. The expanded service focus addresses common gutter problems including leaks, sagging sections, loose downspouts, improper drainage, and overflow during heavy rainfall, all of which can interfere with the ability of a gutter system to move water safely away from a home.
The announcement comes as residential growth continues throughout Riverview and surrounding areas, increasing the number of properties requiring ongoing exterior maintenance. Florida homes face frequent exposure to heavy rain, storms, humidity, wind, and accumulated debris, creating conditions that can gradually weaken gutter systems or expose installation and drainage problems. When damaged gutters no longer control roof runoff effectively, water can begin reaching fascia, exterior walls, landscaping, and areas surrounding the foundation.
Heavy Florida Rain Can Expose Existing Gutter Problems
Periods of intense rainfall can make gutter problems more noticeable because residential drainage systems must manage substantial amounts of roof runoff within a relatively short period. A gutter that appears functional during lighter rainfall may overflow when a downspout becomes restricted, a section loses its proper slope, or connections begin leaking under increased water volume.
Sagging gutters can also interfere with drainage by allowing water to collect rather than moving toward downspouts. Loose or disconnected downspouts may discharge water too close to the structure, while deteriorated connections can allow runoff to escape before it reaches the intended drainage point. Addressing these conditions can restore water flow without necessarily requiring replacement of an entire gutter system when the remaining components are still serviceable.
The frequency of Florida rain makes early identification of these issues particularly important. Continued exposure to uncontrolled runoff can contribute to fascia deterioration, soil displacement, landscape erosion, staining along exterior surfaces, and persistent moisture near the perimeter of a residence. Repairing damaged components helps return the system to its intended function of collecting roof runoff and directing it away from vulnerable areas of the property.
Gutter Repair Focuses on Restoring Proper Water Flow
Anderson Seamless Gutters is focusing its Riverview repair services on identifying the conditions preventing existing gutter systems from performing correctly. Repair needs can develop from storm exposure, loose mounting hardware, damaged gutter sections, failing connections, blocked drainage paths, or changes in the alignment and pitch of the system over time.
A repair assessment can determine whether isolated sections can be corrected or whether deterioration has reached a point where broader replacement should be considered. For systems that remain structurally sound, targeted repairs can restore drainage performance and extend the useful life of existing gutters. The appropriate approach depends on the condition of the gutter, the source of the drainage problem, and whether the existing system remains properly sized and positioned for the home.
The expanded repair focus complements the company’s existing residential gutter services in Riverview, including seamless gutter installation, gutter cleaning, and gutter protection. Together, these services address different stages of gutter system maintenance, from correcting existing damage to reducing conditions that can contribute to future drainage problems.
Riverview Growth Increases Attention on Exterior Home Maintenance
Riverview’s continued residential development has increased attention on home maintenance systems that protect properties from Florida weather. Newer homes can experience drainage issues when gutters are damaged or improperly configured, while established properties may require repairs as exterior components experience years of rain, heat, storms, and normal wear.
Effective gutter drainage remains an important part of residential water management regardless of a home’s age. Directing roof runoff toward appropriate discharge areas can help limit repeated water exposure around foundations, rooflines, landscaping, and exterior building materials.
Anderson Seamless Gutters’ expanded gutter repair services in Riverview are intended to address these drainage concerns as the community continues to grow. The service expansion places additional emphasis on evaluating existing systems, correcting repairable problems, and restoring reliable water movement for homes exposed to the region’s frequent rainfall.
