Director of the Cultural China International Cultural Exchange Center, chaired the launch event, which focused on the theme of "Bringing Chinese to the World, Helping the World Understand China."

The system uses an innovative framework coordinate algorithm to transform Chinese characters into color and position modules, combined with AI, to achieve a seamless transition from "recognizing shapes" to "inputting text." This enables beginners to master Chinese typing within three minutes through an intuitive and straightforward process. Beyond its technical prowess, the method serves as a cultural mission, revitalizing the charm of Chinese characters and making Chinese culture more accessible. Professor Zhang Xiping, Distinguished Professor at Beijing Language and Culture University and a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, highlighted that traditional Chinese teaching methods, which emphasize pinyin, grammar, and memorization, are often time-consuming and less effective for many learners. The Chinese Visual Key Input Method integrates technology with education to offer a systematic solution, marking a revolutionary step in Chinese character teaching. Zhang described it as the most significant advancement in Chinese character research since the ancient text Shuowen Jiezi , surpassing the phonetic teaching methods introduced by missionaries over 400 years ago. Dr. Tariq Alqahtani, President of Al Haraka Al Awla Company in Saudi Arabia, praised the technology for transforming language learning, especially for Chinese. He noted that the method offers new opportunities for students and professionals in Saudi Arabia and worldwide, making Chinese learning faster, easier, and more engaging. Professor Pan Wenguo of East China Normal University, Editor-in-Chief of Global Chinese Development Research, lauded the Chinese Visual Key Input Method as a groundbreaking contribution to global Chinese education. By lowering the barriers to Chinese character input, it significantly promotes the global dissemination of the language. Developed over 16 years by Dr. Chu's team, the method combines visual perception, tactile principles, and framework coordinate algorithms to reconstruct Chinese characters, overcoming the limitations of pinyin and Wubi input methods. Supporting over 80,000 characters in simplified, traditional, and variant forms, it embodies the principle of "what you see is what you get." Professor Bai Zhimin from Universite de La Rochelle in France commended the modular approach of the system, which simplifies complex Chinese characters into visual elements. This not only reduces learning difficulty but also boosts classroom efficiency, helping learners overcome the fear of Chinese characters and fostering confidence in their studies. Dr. Yu Zhong, an expert at Tsinghua University's Institute for International AI Governance, described the "Chinese Visual Key Input Method" as a transformative AI innovation. Dubbed the "Key to Chinese," it redefines language processing through modularization and intuitive input, marking a milestone in the fusion of AI and linguistics. With applications spanning education, business, and cultural exchange, the method bridges cultural divides and underscores the global significance of the Chinese language.

The intuitive nature of the input method lowers learning barriers, fostering global Chinese language development.

Dr. John Chu and Dr. Tariq Alqahtani formalized their collaboration, while other dignitaries-including Prof. Zhang Xiping, Zhang Li, Zeng Ping, and Lv Xiaoguang-jointly launched the China-UAE Chinese Cultural Communication Centre. This initiative aims to deepen educational and cultural cooperation between China and the UAE.

In the UAE alone, 171 schools offer Chinese courses to 71,000 students. The launch of the Chinese Visual Key Input Method injects fresh vitality into China-UAE cultural exchanges and contributes to the advancement of global language education and cultural diversity.

Amazon is confronting its largest strike ever as thousands of workers across the United States and Germany walk off the job, demanding better wages, safer working conditions, and greater respect for union representation, just days before the busy holiday season. In the U.S., employees from eight Amazon facilities in cities including New York City, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Skokie, Illinois, began striking at 6 a.m. ET on Thursday. The walkouts follow Amazon’s refusal to engage in meaningful negotiations with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union, which had warned of potential strikes unless bargaining dates were agreed upon by Sunday. The Teamsters confirmed that picket lines have been set up at seven facilities, with plans to expand to hundreds of Amazon Fulfillment Centers across the country. According to union leaders, nearly 10,000 Amazon workers have joined the Teamsters in their fight for improved wages and working conditions. Leah Pensler, a warehouse worker in San Francisco, expressed the historic nature of the strikes: “We are fighting against a vicious union-busting campaign, and we are going to win.” The Staten Island JFK8 warehouse, which became the first Amazon facility to unionize in March 2022, continues to serve as a pivotal hub for the labor movement. Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien condemned Amazon’s handling of labor relations, stating, “If your package is delayed during the holidays, you can blame Amazon’s insatiable greed.” Amazon has dismissed the strikes, claiming the union’s actions are part of a misleading campaign. “The Teamsters have actively threatened, intimidated, and coerced employees, which is illegal,” said Amazon spokesperson Kely Nantel. The company emphasized its record of wage increases and workplace safety investments but faces mounting criticism following a report by Senator Bernie Sanders, which accused Amazon of downplaying workplace injuries and prioritizing productivity over worker safety. The strike has extended to Germany, where workers represented by the United Services Union (ver.di) have launched a nationwide walkout to align with the U.S. efforts. The German strikes are designed to target Amazon’s “sensitive points” and will continue through the holiday season. “Solidarity knows no national borders,” said Silke Zimmer, a board member of ver.di. “We will continue to fight for fair wages, safe working conditions, and recognition of collective agreements.” As the strikes grow in scope, Amazon faces increasing pressure to address its labor practices, with its busiest season of the year now in full swing.
