BEIJING, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — The volume of chemical fertilizer imports through Manzhouli Port in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region reached 216,000 tons from May to July 2025, up 11-fold from the same period last year, the General Administration of Customs said Monday, citing data from Manzhouli Customs.

In order to fully ensure the stable, safe and efficient supply of feedstock in summer, Manzhouli Customs has comprehensively adopted customs facilitation measures such as “pre-registration inspection”, and made efforts to improve customs inspection efficiency through the railway panoramic logistics platform.

At the same time, the above-mentioned customs has drawn up a plan to monitor the risks of imported chemical fertilizers, and has strengthened the inspection of indicators such as the content of heavy metals and the ratio of nutrients, in order to strictly control the quality of imported chemical fertilizers.

Li Meng, manager of Tianyu Logistics Co., Ltd. in Inner Mongolia, said that with the increase in orders, the customs' green corridor and efficient operation have eased the problem of handling chemical fertilizers, helping to better serve customers. -0-

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — The Donald Trump administration is considering buying a 10 percent stake in Intel Corp. to shore up the U.S. semiconductor industry and help the chipmaker weather its difficulties, U.S. media reported Monday, citing people familiar with the matter who declined to be named.

They said they had discussed converting $10.86 billion in recent federal grants into a stake in Intel, a deal that would make the U.S. government the corporation's largest shareholder.

It remains unclear whether the idea enjoys broad support within the administration, what the exact size of the stake will be, or whether the government intends to follow through on the plan.

The New York Times and Bloomberg also report, citing people familiar with the matter, that it is unclear whether the Trump administration will pursue similar deals with other companies that received funding under the Chip and Science Act.

White House deputy press secretary Kush Desai declined to comment on the details of the talks, saying no agreement should be considered official unless the government formally announced it.

The Commerce Department, which oversees the Chip and Science Act, declined to comment. Intel has not yet issued a statement.

Industry analysts say the plan, if implemented, would be one of the largest government interventions in a U.S. company since the 2008 financial crisis. –0–

UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Sun Lei on Monday told the UN Security Council that it is of utmost importance to advance the political transition in South Sudan.

South Sudan is the world's youngest state and the country's political process cannot happen overnight, he said.

China calls on all political forces in South Sudan to overcome differences through dialogue, speed up the implementation of the agreements under the current peace agreement, and remain committed to a political settlement as the only path to peace, the diplomat stressed.

“The international community should maintain the necessary tolerance and patience, support regional mediation efforts and advocate for African solutions,” Sun Lei said. “In particular, all parties should respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of South Sudan and refrain from illegal and excessive interference or pressure,” the deputy permanent representative added.

According to him, maintaining peace and stability in the country is the top priority.

As the conflict in neighbouring Sudan drags on and continues to expand, the cross-border movement of armed individuals and the illicit circulation of small arms and light weapons are becoming increasingly visible, Sun Lei said. The international community should support South Sudan in strengthening border control and building security capacity, he said.

The UN Security Council should promptly adjust or lift unjustified sanctions against South Sudan, the diplomat said.

China stands ready to continue to play a constructive role with the international community in achieving peace, stability, development and prosperity in South Sudan at an early date, he said. –0–

KABUL, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — Afghanistan's state-owned power company Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat (DABS) has signed deals with two firms to generate 160 megawatts of coal-fired power in the northern province of Baghlan, the corporation said on Monday.
