UN, March 4 (Xinhua) — The Board of Presidents of the UN General Assembly called for an immediate de-escalation of the conflict and an immediate cessation of hostilities in the Middle East and urged all parties to immediately return to the negotiating table under UN auspices.

In a statement released Monday, the council expressed grave concern over the outbreak of hostilities between the United States, Israel and Iran, condemning the use of force by all parties to the conflict and its grave consequences for neighboring countries across the Middle East.

“This is a flagrant violation of the UN Charter and international law and poses a serious threat to international peace and security,” the statement said.

The Council of Chairs called on all parties to the conflict to comply with their obligations under international law, in particular the UN Charter. –0–

BEIJING, March 4 (Xinhua) — Exchanging sorted household waste for everyday goods, using biodegradable and eco-friendly packaging, and installing air conditioners that run on carbon-free energy… These ubiquitous scenes are gradually shaping the "green" image of China's development.

Currently, the Beautiful China initiative is being actively implemented throughout China, contributing to the steady improvement of the ecological environment, making the benefits of green development tangible and accessible to all.

TRANSFORMING TRASH INTO LIFE'S BENEFIT

A special "supermarket" located in Miantan Village, Shexian County, Huangshan City, has already become a living example of building an ecological civilization in Anhui Province (East China).

This supermarket's staff inventory the household waste sorted by local residents, including plastic bottles, cigarette butts, and other waste, and credit residents' personal accounts with points that can be exchanged for soy sauce, liquid detergent, and other everyday items.

Due to geographical features, many villages in Huangshan are built along waterways and are quite scattered, making it difficult to collect, store, and transport household waste using traditional methods.

"In the past, garbage was often piled along riverbanks, and during heavy rains, residents would simply dump the waste into the river and let the current carry it away," said Song Xingcai, head of the Law Enforcement and Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Center in Shendu Township, Shexian County.

According to him, the system of exchanging waste for points helps strengthen residents' understanding that "caring for the environment brings tangible benefits."

In 2016, Huangshan City first implemented the "Waste-for-Goods Supermarket" model, which was later expanded to the "Eco-Beauty Supermarket" format. Beginning in 2025, the city implemented local standards for these supermarkets, which not only expanded the range of goods available for exchange but also promoted the inclusion of environmentally friendly practices such as volunteering and sustainable agricultural production in the points system.

For many years, the "Eco-Beauty Supermarket" system in Huangshan has attracted approximately 300,000 people annually, resulting in the recycling of over 3,000 tons of waste. This not only reduced labor and transportation costs associated with traditional waste disposal but also empowered local residents to protect the "green mountains and emerald waters" through their actions.

ZERO EMISSIONS ENVIRONMENTAL BENCHMARK

As the permanent venue for the Boao Forum for Asia (BOA), Dongyu Island in Boao, Hainan Province, southern China, serves as both a window for international dialogue and a bulwark for China to achieve its goals of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality.

The zero-carbon demonstration zone located here is the first model project in China that has achieved zero carbon emissions in the entire area through modernization and renovation.

Since the launch of this demonstration zone, energy conservation and energy consumption reduction measures have been continuously strengthened, the electrification of energy consumption in transport, ships, and gardening equipment has been promoted, and a carbon management system has been established to enable real-time monitoring of carbon intensity.

According to data, in 2019, the volume of carbon emissions from energy consumption of buildings and infrastructure facilities in this demonstration zone amounted to 11.3 thousand tons, and by 2024 this figure will have already reached absolute zero.

Hu Yaowen, Director of the Hainan Branch of the China Academy of Urban Planning and Design, noted that the demonstration zone's construction maximizes the use of local natural resources, reducing the use of high-cost technologies and demonstrating a zero-carbon construction model based on phased modernization using appropriate technologies.

The demonstration zone will continue to explore zero-carbon city management practices, aiming to disseminate and implement relevant experiences in tropical regions and countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.

THE GREEN FUTURE OF CHINESE ECOLOGY

In 2025, China's ecological environment has improved thanks to continuous efforts in pollution control and sustainable green development.

According to the data, the average PM2.5 concentration in the country last year was 28 micrograms per cubic meter, a decrease of 4.4 percent year-on-year. The proportion of days with good or excellent air quality over the past year increased by 1.9 percentage points year-on-year to 89.3 percent.

The Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China has set its key tasks for 2026, including sustainably and in-depth progress in implementing the most complex tasks of combating environmental pollution, strengthening supervision over ecological conservation and restoration, and accelerating scientific and technological innovation in the field of ecology and environment.

In the proposals of the CPC Central Committee for the development of the 15th Five-Year Program for National Economic and Social Development, “achieving new significant advances in the construction of Beautiful China” is considered one of the main goals of socio-economic development during the 15th Five-Year Plan.

Lin Zhen, head of the Research Institute of Ecological Civilization at Beijing Forestry University, said that adhering to the concept of green development, maintaining strategic determination in advancing the construction of ecological civilization, and promoting new significant achievements in building a "Beautiful China" during the 15th Five-Year Plan period will lay a solid foundation for achieving the goal of building a "Beautiful China." -0-

Washington, March 4 (Xinhua) — US Special Presidential Envoy Steven Witkoff, who has led negotiations with Iran in recent months, is no longer maintaining diplomatic contacts with the Islamic Republic following the US-Israeli strikes on the country, CNN reported on Tuesday.

According to him, the administration of US President Donald Trump, at least for now, has abandoned diplomatic efforts and focused on military action against Iran.

S. Witkoff has not spoken to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi for several days, "since this whole thing went into a hot phase," journalists write, quoting a senior Washington administration official.

Earlier on Tuesday, Trump wrote on social media that it was too late for negotiations with Iran and claimed that the United States had a military advantage.

In another post, the US president boasted of "unlimited supplies" of weapons. He was commenting on a Wall Street Journal article that claimed the United States was rapidly expending air defense interceptors and other munitions during the conflict with Iran, allegedly leading to depletion of its stockpiles.

Trump also stated that the son of the last Iranian Shah, Crown Prince-in-exile Reza Pahlavi, is not being considered by the White House as a potential new leader of Iran, noting that he still prefers "someone from within" to take over.

The president also acknowledged that before the start of the large-scale military campaign against Iran, the authorities failed to prepare a plan to evacuate US citizens from the Middle East. "Because everything happened so quickly," Trump told reporters.

The US State Department said Tuesday it was "actively reserving" military and charter aircraft to fly Americans from the Middle East to safety as the war has severely disrupted commercial air travel.

Astana, March 4 /Xinhua/ — The implementation of China's 13th and 14th Five-Year Plans can be considered exceptionally successful, and the Chinese development model has proven its effectiveness in virtually all key economic sectors. This was stated recently by Rakhim Oshakbayev, Director of the TALAP Applied Research Center in Kazakhstan, in an exclusive interview with Xinhua.

According to him, the combination of long-term strategic planning, strong governance, and elements of a market economy, including support for entrepreneurship and protection of investor rights, has enabled China to achieve impressive results. Today, the country occupies a leading position in global industry and trade, being a major exporter and a major industrial power.

"The most important result has been the rapid improvement in the population's standard of living. According to the World Bank, China has lifted approximately 800 million people out of poverty in recent decades—an unprecedented achievement in human history," noted R. Oshakbaev.

The expert emphasized that the Chinese model, based on socialism with Chinese characteristics, combines ideological consistency with a flexible response to global challenges, while improving the quality of life remains the top priority. He estimates that in recent years, millions of citizens have achieved moderate prosperity, and hundreds of thousands of communities have emerged from extreme poverty.

R. Oshakbaev placed particular emphasis on the country's scientific and technological development. China's research and development expenditure has reached nearly 3% of GDP, facilitating the active implementation of innovations in industry, healthcare, and education. China annually graduates millions of engineering professionals and holds a leading position in the number of AI patents.

“The widespread adoption of digitalization, automation, and AI is strengthening China’s traditional competitive advantages, including economies of scale and high price-quality ratios,” he said, adding that this is strengthening the country’s position as a global industrial leader.

The expert also noted China's significant progress in green development, which is a key success on the path to achieving peak carbon emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. In his opinion, China is the undisputed leader in green energy and a key driver of the further development of this agenda globally.

According to the expert, China demonstrates a high level of global responsibility by advocating for the preservation of free trade and compliance with WTO rules in the face of growing protectionism and trade restrictions. Diversification of foreign trade has enabled the country to maintain sustainable growth and achieve a record trade surplus.

"China promotes a philosophy of harmonious development and mutually beneficial cooperation, rather than a zero-sum game. This creates an alternative model of global development based on inclusiveness and shared prosperity," emphasized R. Oshakbayev.

He expressed confidence that during the implementation of the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development, China will continue to play the role of a responsible participant in global processes, promoting the expansion of multilateral cooperation and the formation of a more equitable system of global governance.

"China today is one of the key drivers of the global economy and an important advocate for open international trade. Its further development will have positive implications not only for the country but for the entire world," concluded R. Oshakbaev.

According to data published by the National Energy Administration of China, the total installed capacity of renewable energy in China will reach 2.34 billion kilowatts by the end of 2025. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China created the largest and fastest-growing renewable energy system in the world, with the share of installed capacity increasing from approximately 40% to 60%.

The total installed capacity of wind and solar energy exceeded that of thermal generation for the first time in history, increasing from 530 million kW in 2020 to 1.84 billion kW in 2025, surpassing 13 billion kW milestones.

The installed capacity of new energy storage facilities has exceeded 100 million kW for the first time, accounting for over 40% of the global total. "Giant chargers" make wind and solar energy generation more stable.

The annual trading volume of green certificates for renewable energy exceeded the combined total of all previous years, and the creation of mechanisms to stimulate green energy consumption accelerated.

This is driven by the ongoing optimization of the energy supply structure. During the 14th Five-Year Plan, China experienced a leap forward in the development of new energy. Large-scale wind and solar power plants in deserts became a new frontier, with installed capacity increasing to over 130 million kW. Furthermore, ultra-high-voltage transmission projects also facilitated the supply of green energy from remote regions. Currently, the share of green energy in China's total energy consumption is approaching 40%: out of every 10 kWh of electricity consumed, almost 4 kWh is green energy.

By building the world's largest and fastest-growing renewable energy system and establishing the world's largest and most comprehensive new energy industrial chain, China has made a significant contribution to the global low-carbon transition. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China's wind and solar exports collectively helped other countries reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 4.1 billion tons.
