BEIJING, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) — The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has increased its refinancing quota for agriculture and small businesses by 100 billion yuan (about 14.01 billion U.S. dollars) to support flood control and disaster recovery, the PBOC said Tuesday.

The measure is aimed at encouraging financial institutions to strengthen credit support for businesses, especially micro and small enterprises and individual entrepreneurs, as well as agricultural and livestock enterprises and farmers in disaster-hit areas including Beijing and the provinces of Hebei, Jilin, Shandong and Gansu, the country's top financial regulator said.

The central bank has urged its local branches to make full use of the new re-lending quota, it said. It will also guide financial institutions to meet the financing needs of flood control and disaster relief, and support businesses in accelerating the resumption of operations and production. -0-

BEIJING, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) — A cultural and artistic performance by teenagers from China and Russia was held in Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, on Thursday. The event was part of the 3rd Heilongjiang China-Russia Regional Culture Festival.

The performance, under the theme of “mutual enrichment of civilizations,” was organized to promote mutual understanding between young people of the two countries and deepen their friendship through cultural and artistic exchanges, according to the provincial department of culture and tourism. In a cheerful and friendly atmosphere, young artists performed folk dances, folk melodies and songs.

The venue for the event was the Huayuanjie cultural and historical street quarter in Nangang District, and this choice was not made by chance. There are many hundred-year-old buildings in the Russian architectural style preserved here, and therefore this quarter was chosen as the venue for the event in order to demonstrate the historical appearance of the city and the cultural ties between China and Russia.

The 3rd China-Russia Regional Culture Festival in Heilongjiang Province officially kicked off on April 16, 2025. Over the course of three and a half months, more than 200 humanitarian and cultural events will be held, including concerts, pop performances, street shows and photo exhibitions on the theme of the image of regions on the Chinese-Russian border.

Among them, the event “Wall of Chinese-Russian Friendship”, a cultural and artistic performance by teenagers from China and Russia, a fashion show of China and Russia, and an evening screening of old films promise to be especially attractive.

The first such festival was held in Heilongjiang from June to September 2023. -0-
