Credit Breaks Boundaries, Value Reborn: 2025 Credit Shenzhen Gathering Convenes Industry Leaders

(1 December 2025) – The 2025 Credit “Shenzhen Gathering,” themed Credit Breaks Boundaries, Value Reborn, took place in Shenzhen on 29 November 2025. The conference convened more than 170 participants, including credit service agencies, data technology firms, academic scholars, representatives from local credit centers, and national industry associations. Delegates gathered to examine innovative development pathways for credit services and credit risk control, with an emphasis on fostering industry exchange, cooperation, and value enhancement.

The opening address, delivered by the Secretary-General of the Guangdong‑Hong Kong‑Macao Greater Bay Area Credit Development Alliance, framed the conference around five guiding words—regret, gratitude, difficulty, hope, and expectation—and called for compliant development of credit risk prevention and control in non‑financial sectors through technological innovation and ecosystem collaboration.

Dr. JJ Pan of the World Trustmark and Trade Alliance outlined progress on overseas credit technology projects and signaled intent to support outstanding domestic credit technology initiatives in accessing international markets via the WTA network.

Key institutional developments were announced, including a signing of intent for entities to settle in the Qianhai Credit Service Industry Cluster and the inaugurations of the Judicial Innovation Center and the Credit Risk Prevention and Control Subcommittee. The Judicial Innovation Center will explore the integration and application of judicial data, while the Subcommittee will coordinate industry efforts and advance research and development in credit risk prevention and control—steps described by organizers as pivotal to the professionalization and compliance‑driven evolution of national credit control services.

The event concluded with an awards ceremony and five thematic roundtable dialogues. Ten firms were named Industry Benchmark Enterprises and 30 received Industry Demonstration Enterprise recognition; 15 women were honored with the Leading Mulan award and 15 men received the Pioneer Pillar award for contributions to technology and management innovation. Roundtables produced in‑depth discussions on transformation challenges and opportunities, and organizers said the gathering strengthened high‑level industry communication, injected momentum into the credit economy of Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area, and contributed to the broader advancement of the national credit control sector.

Gel Pen Guide – Test Results, Buying Tips, and Care in Brief

(1 November 2025) – A recent comparative test by the Shenzhen Consumers’ Committee evaluated 20 popular gel-pen brands to give consumers objective guidance. All samples met safety standards for harmful substances, while writing performance varied widely across three core metrics: endurance (maximum writing length), smoothness, and quick-drying ability. Eleven pens earned the highest five-star rating, and domestic Chinese brands took seven of those top spots, demonstrating strong quality and value that rival international names.

Practical buying and care advice to get the most from your pen: purchase from正规 retailers (department stores, supermarkets, or authorized online stores) to avoid poorly labeled products and to secure after-sales protection; check the cap for a ventilation hole (a safety feature for children); avoid strongly scented pens that may contain unnecessary chemicals; or simply follow the official five-star list when unsure. To extend a pen’s life, protect the nib from hard impacts, recap or retract the tip immediately after use to prevent drying, and store pens in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
