MINSK, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) — A Belarusian veteran was recently awarded a jubilee medal in Minsk in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese Embassy in Belarus reported.

The honorary award was received by 105-year-old veteran Valery Raevsky, who contributed to the Victory. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the PRC to Belarus Zhang Wenchuan handed the medal to his granddaughter.

In 2015, during a state visit to Belarus, Chinese President Xi Jinping presented jubilee medals in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to 15 Belarusian veterans, including V. Raevsky. This year, it was also decided to award V. Raevsky a jubilee medal in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Victory as a sign of deep respect and best wishes from the Chinese people.

During the award ceremony, Zhang Wenchuan noted that the peoples of the two countries will never forget the merits of all veterans who made an outstanding contribution to the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. “I am confident that the peoples of China and Belarus will pass on this war-hardened friendship from generation to generation and promote the constant development of friendly cooperation between our countries,” the ambassador noted.

In turn, V. Raevsky’s granddaughter expressed sincere gratitude to the Chinese side on his behalf. –0–

BEIJING, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan met with Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni and Queen Mother Norodom Moninea Sihanouk in Beijing on Tuesday.

Xi Jinping extended warm greetings to the guests who visited China once again and welcomed King Norodom Sihamoni's attendance at the celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

Xi Jinping recalled his state visit to Cambodia in April this year and the hospitality shown to him by King N. Sihamoni and the Cambodian people.

China-Cambodia relations have withstood the test of international vicissitudes, and the two countries, through sharing joys and sorrows, have forged an ironclad friendship that has become a treasured asset for their peoples and deserves to be treasured even more by both sides, Xi said.

Facing an international situation characterized by both changes and turbulence, China and Cambodia should further unite, develop traditional friendship, strengthen solidarity and cooperation, accelerate the building of an all-weather China-Cambodia community with a shared future in the new era, and bring more benefits to the two peoples, he said.

Xi Jinping said China firmly supports the Cambodian people in following a development path suited to their national conditions and achieving long-term peace and stability in the country.

Norodom Sihamoni and Norodom Moninea Sihanouk said they were pleased to visit China again and to be invited to attend the celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

The Chinese people have made significant contributions to maintaining world peace, which deserves to be remembered forever, they stressed.

They also mentioned that during Chinese President Xi Jinping's historic state visit to Cambodia in April this year, the two sides discussed strengthening friendship and expanding cooperation and achieved important results.

They said Cambodia always views bilateral relations from a strategic height and is willing to carry forward traditional friendship and jointly build an all-weather Cambodia-China community with a shared future in the new era. -0-

BEIJING, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) — During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), China has continued to increase its non-fossil energy supply, accelerating the transition to clean and low-carbon energy, causing the share of non-fossil energy in the country's overall power generation structure to increase by more than 5 percentage points, Du Zhongming, director of the Electric Power Department of the National Energy Administration, said at a press conference on Tuesday.

During the reporting period, China's rapid growth in electricity demand was driven by advanced manufacturing, such as electric vehicles, lithium batteries and photovoltaic products, and the digital industry, such as artificial intelligence and big data. "The development of emerging industries has effectively increased the share of electricity in the energy consumption structure, promoted the optimization of the energy consumption structure, and at the same time driven the green transformation of the energy production structure," Du Zhongming emphasized.

According to him, from 2021 to 2025, China has made vigorous efforts to build an EV charging infrastructure system. As of the end of July 2025, the country had built 16.696 million charging infrastructure facilities, 10 times more than the figure recorded at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan. Moreover, China leads the world in terms of scale in this area.

In the future, China will adhere to the principle of moderately advancing the power generation sector, actively encourage rational power consumption and promote green energy consumption, Du Zhongming said. -0-

Astana, Aug. 26 /Xinhua/ — The Karkyra-Avtodorozhny checkpoint on the border of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan has been operating around the clock since August 25, Kazinform reported on Tuesday, citing the Border Service of the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan.

According to the agency, the decision was the result of bilateral agreements reached by the heads of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan during the official visit of Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to Kyrgyzstan.

The Karkyra-Avtodorozhny checkpoint, located in the Tyup district of the Issyk-Kul region, is multi-directional and is designed to allow the passage of people and vehicles. Previously, it only worked during daylight hours.

According to Kazinform, in 2026, construction of modern border infrastructure facilities is planned on the territory of the checkpoint, which will significantly increase its throughput capacity and control efficiency.

In October 2024, the Zhogorku Kenesh (parliament) of Kyrgyzstan supported the transition of the checkpoint to a 24-hour operation mode. Later, the President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov ratified the corresponding agreement. –0–

Pyongyang, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) — Pyongyang has condemned the "Ulchi Freedom Shield" joint military exercises between the United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK) as a move that "undermines regional security."

Large-scale military exercises targeting the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) can never be "defensive" because they are carried out by the world's largest nuclear-armed state and its "satellite states" on the Korean Peninsula, First Vice Chief of the General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA) Kim Yong Bok said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Tuesday.

“The current joint military exercises are preparations for a real war, which makes their provocative nature even more obvious, as they have surpassed all previous exercises held in preparation for a war against the DPRK in their nature, scale and format,” the statement released on Monday said.

Noting that the exercises had become multinational and the number and duration of field maneuvers had reached record levels, the statement said they had “evolved into the largest, longest and worst military exercises” in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as the world.

The DPRK is closely monitoring what is happening and is ready to cope with any situation.

The latest statement follows similar condemnations earlier this month from North Korean Defense Minister No Gwang-chol and a spokesman for the KPA General Staff. –0–

TIANJIN, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) — Temurzoda Amirhamza, a young man from Tajikistan who just completed a four-month Chinese language course at Tianjin University, is currently applying for a work visa to China. He wants to learn international trade processes in practice to lay the foundation for setting up his own transnational trading company after returning to his homeland.

Temurzoda Amirkhamza, 24, is from Dangara, a city in Tajikistan’s Khatlon region located about 100 km from the capital Dushanbe. In recent years, thanks to China’s Belt and Road Initiative, the city has become a key hub for trade and economic cooperation between China and Tajikistan.

In 2014, the Tajik agricultural and textile industrial park “Juntai Dangara Xin Xilu Textile” was established in Dangara with investments from a Chinese enterprise, which is still one of the largest textile industrial parks in Central Asia with the most complete production chains – from cotton growing, yarn spinning and weaving to dyeing and manufacturing of finished garments.

The creation of this industrial park not only stimulates the development of the local economy, but also allowed young people like Temurzoda Amirkhamza to clearly experience the benefits of expanding trade and economic cooperation with China.

“When I saw more and more Chinese companies investing in my hometown and building industrial parks, I realized that economic cooperation not only creates jobs but also has a profound impact on the development of the region,” says Temurzoda Amirkhamza. This understanding prompted him to enroll in Finance and Economics at the Tajik National University after finishing school.

During his studies, Temurzoda Amirkhamza keenly grasped the huge potential of Chinese goods in the Tajik market. “Chinese smart watches, smartphones and other technological products are distinguished by good quality and affordable prices, so they are very popular among Tajik youth,” he notes.

He bought products on the Alibaba platform and then sold them on Instagram. At first, his monthly profit was just over $300, but quickly grew to $1,000. In just two years, his Instagram account had more than 40,000 subscribers, who gradually turned into regular customers.

As the business expanded, in his third year of university he registered a trading company, creating his own brand, and formed a professional team to work in areas such as procurement, logistics, warehousing and IT operations.

In recent years, China and Tajikistan, as members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), have seen a steady increase in trade and economic activity between them. According to statistics, China has been the largest source of investment and an important trading partner for Tajikistan for many years. In 2023, bilateral trade volume increased by 53.5 percent year-on-year to $3.926 billion, setting a historical record. At the same time, more and more Tajik youth, seeing the potential of the Chinese market, are heading to China to study the language, economics, and trade to prepare for their future careers.

In April 2023, Temurzoda Amirhamza came to China for the first time to deepen his knowledge in business by enrolling in the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program at Shanxi University of Finance and Economics. And to gain a deeper understanding of the Chinese market and master the language, he began studying Chinese at Tianjin University in March 2025.

In addition, he independently paid for online courses, where he systematically studied the business processes of conducting cross-border trade in China, company registration procedures, customs declarations for import-export operations, as well as taxation and financial issues.

Temurzoda Amirkhamza hopes to take advantage of the opportunity of the upcoming SCO summit to actively identify new promising areas for the development of trade and economic ties and continue to deepen his knowledge in the field of Chinese culture, economics and the market.

“China has opened a new world for me, full of opportunities. The Chinese market is huge and promising. And I want to bring more Chinese goods to Tajikistan, and also help branded Tajik products enter the Chinese market, becoming an envoy of the new Silk Road,” said Temurzoda Amirkhamza, who plans to create a company focused on trade between China and Tajikistan in the future. -0-
