Following the positive reception of its first season, the Chinese language program “Everyday Chinese” officially returns this year with Season 2, reaffirming its commitment to supporting Chinese language education for Indonesian audiences.

Since its debut, Everyday Chinese has become a practical learning platform for viewers who are interested in Mandarin for daily communication, education, and professional development. The strong engagement and feedback from Indonesian audiences have demonstrated a growing interest in learning Chinese, particularly as cultural and economic exchanges between Indonesia and China continue to expand.

Season 2 is produced in response to this increasing demand. Building on the foundation of the first season, the new episodes introduce more structured learning themes, clearer real-life language scenarios, and improved visual presentation, making the program more accessible and relevant for learners at different proficiency levels. The content focuses on practical usage, helping viewers apply Mandarin naturally in everyday situations.

Qionghai, August 19, 2025 – Scorching heat, high humidity, sudden heavy rainfall, and corrosive environments are hallmarks of tropical regions. These extreme conditions have turned Hainan into a “natural laboratory” for the global automotive industry to test vehicle durability.

At an automotive testing facility in Hainan, ASEAN media partners had the opportunity to experience first-hand what it’s like to put vehicles through tracks designed to replicate real-world challenges. From gravel roads to steep inclines that push cars to their limits, each test track offered a vivid picture of the obstacles vehicles must overcome before entering tropical markets.

SANYA, August 18, 2025 – Around 30 journalists from 16 leading media outlets across nine ASEAN countries visited Hainan to witness firsthand how China’s southernmost province is integrating technology, ecology, and openness in the development of the Hainan Free Trade Port. The week-long program, running from August 18 to 23, highlights the province’s efforts to combine research, innovation, and environmental sustainability.

From the very first day, the visit emphasized two key themes: research-driven innovation and a commitment to ecological protection. From biodiversity conservation to maritime technology testing, Hainan demonstrated that economic growth can go hand in hand with safeguarding the environment.

One of the stops that captured the journalists’ attention was a tropical aquatic plant conservation center in Sanya, home to hundreds of lotus varieties from around the world that are carefully collected and cultivated.

SANYA, August 18, 2025 – The “China Walk: Vibrant Hainan” program officially opened in Sanya, Hainan Province, as part of preparations for the upcoming full operation of the Hainan Free Trade Port on December 18. The event gathered dozens of journalists from Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, and other ASEAN countries, marking an important step in deepening economic ties between Hainan and ASEAN nations.

In his remarks, Wang Bin, Standing Committee Member of the CPC Hainan Provincial Committee and Director of the Publicity Department of Hainan, stressed that cooperation between Hainan and ASEAN in recent years has produced concrete results, ranging from trade and technological innovation to tourism. With its new status as a free trade port, Hainan is expected to become a new center of economic growth, creating broader investment opportunities for ASEAN partners.

“Hainan will continue to unlock the potential of economic and trade cooperation with ASEAN. The policy dividends of the Free Trade Port will drive the creation of a shared and mutually beneficial economic future,” Wang Bin said.

The program also highlighted how Hainan is building an innovation-driven ecosystem that ASEAN countries can benefit from. This includes advancements in science and technology, modern agricultural practices, cutting-edge medical technologies, and even the development of international medical tourism. These initiatives align with Hainan’s vision of becoming an international hub for trade, research, and tourism.

As the official launch of the Hainan Free Trade Port approaches, ASEAN–Hainan economic cooperation is projected to enter a more strategic phase. Hainan is not only emerging as China’s gateway to Southeast Asia but also as a symbol of regional connectivity and shared prosperity.
