NANNING, July 9 (Xinhua) — Dou Wangui, a former Party member and vice chairman of the CPPCC (Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference) Committee of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve on Wednesday for accepting bribery.

Dou Wangui was also stripped of his political rights for life and all his personal property was to be confiscated.

Dou Wangui was sentenced by the Second People's Court of Liuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, south China. The investigation against him began in March 2024 and he was arrested in October of the same year.

The court found that between 2003 and 2022, Dou Wangui, while holding various leadership positions in Xinjiang, used his authority to benefit relevant entities and individuals by providing them with “favors” in matters related to contracting, mining, corporate business operations and career advancement, and received in return money and material goods totaling 229 million yuan (about $32 million).

By his actions, Dou Wangui caused serious damage to the interests of the state and the people, but the court recognized his admission of guilt and repentance, as well as the return of illegally obtained income, as mitigating circumstances, follows from the court ruling. -0-

Moscow, July 9 /Xinhua/ — Russia and China's interaction within the BRICS framework is constructive in nature and is aimed at resolving issues of developing countries, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said at a briefing on Wednesday, answering a question from a Xinhua correspondent about US President Donald Trump's threats against countries supporting BRICS.

"The cooperation between Russia and China, both in BRICS and in general, is not directed against anyone. I would like to emphasize that our cooperation – between Russia and China – is of a constructive nature, it is aimed at strengthening the socio-economic, innovative and human potential of its participants, as well as at supporting the solution of real pressing problems and issues of developing countries," she said, commenting on the results of the 17th meeting of the BRICS leaders that recently ended in Rio de Janeiro.

As M. Zakharova noted, the activities of the association are of keen interest, including among Western countries, for whom BRICS has become a "red rag". "Not because we want to anger anyone, but because they themselves were initially aggressively inclined and, apparently, realized that their aggressive attitude was not justified. We have something to respond to. We are strong, and we have demonstrated this strength, but not in aggression, but in a constructive, creative approach," the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized.

She recalled that Russia and China stood at the origins of BRICS and made an important contribution to its development and the creation of favorable conditions for the progressive sustainable economic growth of all states of the association, as well as the formation of a more just and balanced multipolar world order that would meet the needs of all countries and peoples without exception.

The Russian diplomat added that in matters of further expansion of bilateral cooperation within the BRICS framework, Russia and China are looking in the same direction and are ready to overcome all challenges shoulder to shoulder.

"We are focused on joint consistent work with Beijing to strengthen the authority of the association as one of the core mechanisms of global governance. Among the main tasks, of course, we see an increase in the role of developing countries and emerging market countries in multilateral institutions," M. Zakharova specified, noting that in the context of a radical transformation of the global geopolitical landscape, Russian-Chinese relations of comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction continue to develop dynamically and demonstrate high adaptability and stress resistance. -0-
