BEIJING, July 17 (Xinhua) — The fishing season on the Chinese-Russian border river Ussuri opened at 00:00 on July 16, ending a 35-day summer moratorium on fishing on this right tributary of the Heilongjiang (Amur) River, the local fisheries department said.

During the fishing season, the Chinese border control agency is prepared to strengthen inspection and patrolling using drones, patrol boats and CCTV to ensure the safety of fishermen and the legality of their fishing operations.

According to the report, during the summer fishing ban of the current year, the local border control service conducted 21 patrol raids on the Ussuri River, during which 296 people were prevented from committing crimes, thanks to which the number of administrative and criminal cases concerning the border control and the neighboring country in the corresponding section of the border was reduced to zero.

Let us recall that the seasonal moratorium on fishing in the border waters between China and Russia is being introduced mainly on the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers, as well as in Lake Xingkaihu in order to preserve fish resources and ensure the sustainable development of fishing in these waters.

In 1999, China established the Ussuri River Aquatic Resources Protection Group, which releases juvenile fish into the Ussuri every year during the fishing ban. -0-

LONDON, July 17 (Xinhua) — Britain's annual consumer price inflation rose 3.6 percent in June, the highest since January 2024, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said on Wednesday.

The ONS said the rate stood at 3.4 per cent in May. It attributed the rise mainly to higher prices for motor fuel, air and rail travel, and food.

Food and non-alcoholic beverage prices rose 4.5 percent year-on-year, the highest since February 2024.

Core inflation excluding energy, food, alcohol and tobacco rose by 3.7 percent in June, up from 3.5 percent in May. Services inflation, a key indicator of domestic price pressure, was unchanged in June at 4.7 percent.

Previous data from the ONS showed that UK real GDP contracted by 0.1% in May 2025, the second month in a row, following a 0.3% decline in April.

In mid-June, the Bank of England decided to leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 4.25%, citing persistent inflationary pressures and heightened global uncertainty.

June inflation remains well above the 2 percent target, and the base rate is expected to be cut in August.

Market analysts believe that in 2025 the regulator will lower the rate at least twice more, which could reach 3.75 percent by the end of the year. –0–
