Beijing, December 31 (Xinhua) — Secretary-General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Nurlan Yermekbayev gave an exclusive written interview to Xinhua News Agency on December 31, in which he noted that the SCO, following the principles enshrined in the UN Charter and the SCO Charter, continues to support the Chinese government's efforts to protect its state sovereignty and territorial integrity, and generally opposes interference by external forces in the internal affairs of sovereign states.

Xinhua: The US recently approved large-scale arms sales to Taiwan, grossly interfering in China's internal affairs, seriously harming China's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, undermining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and thereby sending a gravely false signal to separatist forces advocating "Taiwan independence." All SCO member states firmly adhere to the one-China principle, emphasize non-interference in each other's internal affairs, and support each other in defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity. What do you think about the US's recent moves to sell arms to Taiwan?

N. Yermekbayev noted that, as is well known, at the SCO summit in Tianjin on September 1, 2025, the heads of member states approved the SCO Development Strategy to 2035, which defines the principles and goals of the Organization's development for the future. This important document emphasized that member states oppose the use of double standards, strictly adhere to the norms and principles of international law, and resolutely oppose any attempts to interfere in their internal affairs and undermine the cohesion of the SCO.

Furthermore, in the Tianjin Declaration adopted following the summit, the SCO member states emphasized that the principles of mutual respect for the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of states, equality, mutual benefit, non-interference in internal affairs, and non-use of force or the threat of force are the foundation for the sustainable development of international relations.

According to him, with regard to the one-China principle, back in June 2002, the Declaration adopted by the leaders of the SCO member states following their meeting in St. Petersburg enshrined a provision confirming that the government of the PRC is the sole legitimate government representing all of China, and that Taiwan is an integral part of Chinese territory.

In this vein, the SCO, following the principles enshrined in the UN Charter and the SCO Charter, continues to support the Chinese government's efforts to protect its state sovereignty and territorial integrity, and generally opposes interference by external forces in the internal affairs of sovereign states. -0-

BEIJING, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) — The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration's political manipulation of "de-Sinicization" stemming from its separatist ambitions will never succeed, State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhang Han said on Wednesday.

Thus, at a regular departmental press conference, Zhang Han, at the request of journalists, commented on recent statements by the chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang party, Zheng Liwen.

Zheng Liwen recently noted in a conversation with students in Taiwan that the statement "I am Chinese" in Taiwan is associated with an inexplicable sense of "original sin," which is a direct result of the DPP's malicious political machinations over the past three decades.

Zhang Han stated that all compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are Chinese. "This is a historical fact, a cultural perception, a genetic legacy, and a legal reality that no one can deny," she emphasized.

She further noted that the DPP administration's attempts to sever historical and cultural ties across the Taiwan Strait, mislead the Taiwanese public, obscure historical memory, and distort the national identity of Taiwan's younger generation are causing incalculable harm.

Voices of condemnation of such steps are heard from all levels of Taiwanese society, and the DPP's political manipulations are ultimately doomed to failure, Zhang Han concluded. -0-

BEIJING, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) — China on Wednesday released detailed rules for a trade-in subsidy program for old cars for new ones through 2026, supporting the auto market as part of the country's broader efforts to boost consumption.

According to a document jointly released by the Ministry of Commerce and other government agencies, the subsidies will be issued for the decommissioning of gasoline-powered passenger cars registered on or before June 30, 2013, diesel-powered and other fuel-powered passenger cars registered on or before June 30, 2015, and new energy-powered passenger cars registered on or before December 31, 2019.

Consumers who scrap old vehicles and buy new ones will be able to receive subsidies calculated according to a certain proportion of the price of the new car, with the maximum subsidy amount capped at 20,000 yuan (approximately US$2,845).

China began issuing subsidies in 2024 as part of a broader consumer goods exchange program covering a wide range of products, including cars, smartphones, and home appliances. This initiative played a key role in boosting market confidence and stimulating domestic demand.

Analysts believe that subsidizing car trade-ins is expected to further boost consumer spending and encourage the development of clean transport.

Expanding domestic demand will be a priority for China's economic development next year. This was announced at the recent Central Economic Work Conference, which also emphasized the need to implement measures to stimulate consumption and develop and implement plans to increase incomes for urban and rural residents.

Almaty, December 31 (Xinhua) — The US decision to approve the largest-ever arms sale to the Chinese region of Taiwan goes far beyond business and represents an overtly political, provocative move that could seriously undermine stability in sensitive regions of the world, Serik Korzhumbayev, editor-in-chief of the Delovoy Kazakhstan newspaper, said in an opinion piece.

He pointed out that, from the perspective of international law, the issue of Taiwan's status has long been clearly settled. UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 recognized the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate representative of China, and Taiwan as an inalienable part of China. It is on this basis that the overwhelming majority of countries, including the United States, have built their diplomatic relations with China. In this context, arms sales to Taiwan directly contradict fundamental norms of international law and constitute direct interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state.

The scope of the supplied weapons, including multiple launch rocket systems, tactical ballistic missiles, heavy artillery, and attack drones, only heightens concerns, the article notes. "None of this has anything to do with symbolic or limited defense. These are weapons capable of radically altering the military balance and turning Taiwan into a vanguard element of geopolitical confrontation. Under such circumstances, claims of 'protecting stability' increasingly resemble political cover for openly provocative actions," stated S. Korzhumbayev.

According to him, Kazakhstan maintains a consistent and principled position on this issue. The country consistently supports the one-China principle and is guided by the need to respect the territorial integrity of states. This position reflects not only Astana's foreign policy but also the shared understanding that global stability is only possible with respect for sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of states.

"Weapons don't solve political problems. They only make them more dangerous. And the sooner this is realized, the greater the chance of maintaining peace in the region and avoiding consequences for which the entire world would have to pay too high a price," the editor-in-chief concluded.
