Beijing, February 12 (Xinhua) — A special land freight route between the border city of Ereenhot (Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, north China) and Minsk, the capital of Belarus, began trial operation on Wednesday, according to a statement posted on the official website of the Ereenhot city government on Thursday.

The new route launched by the Ereen Hot Postal Service aims to provide safer, more convenient, and more efficient cross-border logistics services for local foreign trade companies and cross-border e-commerce operators. The service has previously launched similar routes linking Ereen Hot with Mongolia and Russia.

"We will be thoroughly sorting, checking, and loading mail and parcels to ensure the safe and timely delivery of each item to Belarus," the Erenhot postal service noted.

In the future, this service, relying on the geographical advantages of the Ereenhot border crossing, will steadily expand international logistics routes, contribute to the stabilization of the scale of foreign trade and the improvement of its quality by providing high-quality logistics services, and give greater impetus to the construction of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor and the high-quality implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative.

The launch of a trial operation of a special freight route between Erenhot and Belarus will contribute to the improvement of the Chinese-European cross-border logistics network and the high level of openness of the Erenhot checkpoint to the outside world, according to a statement from the city's mayor's office. -0-

Lately, work has been in full swing at the Haitong Ro-Ro Terminal in Waigaoqiao, Shanghai. One by one, cars are being lifted aboard the car carrier "Grand Cosmos," and very soon the vessel, loaded with nearly a thousand Chinese cars, will set course for the port of Manta in Ecuador.

In 2025, this country's largest specialized car-roll-on/roll-off terminal exported 1.457 million vehicles—15% more than the previous year. If you recalculate this figure, it means that almost 4,000 vehicles are shipped from here daily. In other words, practically every 30 seconds, a Chinese-made car begins its journey here to the global market.

In 2025, Shanghai's total import and export volume reached 4.51 trillion yuan, setting a new all-time high. Exports increased by 10.8%.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021–2025), the Haitong terminal experienced rapid expansion. Total handling volume increased from 2.06 million vehicles in 2021 to 3.98 million vehicles in 2025—an increase of over 90%. At the same time, vehicle export volume increased from 900,000 in 2021 to 2.74 million in 2025.

Located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the Haitong Ro-Ro Terminal enjoys a strategic location. Currently, it operates 12 international Ro-Ro routes, and its established network covers 295 ports in 135 countries and regions worldwide. By 2025, the volume of water-to-water transportation services will exceed 200,000 units.

According to the Shanghai government's work report, during the 14th Five-Year Plan, the total trade volume through the Port of Shanghai increased from 8.75 trillion yuan to 11.3 trillion yuan, maintaining its position as the world's leading city by this indicator. Furthermore, the Port of Shanghai became the first major port in the world to exceed 50 million TEU in annual cargo throughput, cementing its status as a key global logistics hub.

During the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), the Haitong Terminal will focus on two strategic areas—greening and intellectualization—to promote high-quality port development. Future plans include increasing self-sufficiency in green energy by expanding the use of solar power, creating an integrated clean energy system combining solar and wind energy with storage systems, and developing a "near-zero carbon" terminal. At the same time, an environmentally friendly cargo collection and distribution system will be established, a green supply chain will be built, and a multimodal transportation network, including road, rail, and water transport, will be improved, ensuring low-carbon operation throughout the entire logistics chain.

The creation of a unified data platform, the implementation of unmanned vehicles, and the localization of AI-based decision-making systems are among the next steps for the Haitong terminal, which will accelerate the deep integration of digital and automated technologies, marking a significant step in transforming the port's production model and further enhancing its efficiency.

The penetration rate was 42.8%, an increase of 25.2 percentage points compared to the same period last year. Generative AI is accelerating integration into everyday life and production, becoming a key driver of the digital and intelligent transformation of society.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), China's digital consumption market retained its global leadership. From January to November 2025, total digital consumption reached 17.92 trillion yuan. Furthermore, the level of digitalization and intelligentization of offline service consumption has significantly increased. Digital support services such as digital food ordering, intelligent tour guides, and other solutions provide convenient interactive experiences and can reach and influence non-internet-based consumer groups, deepening the connective value of the internet.

At the same time, China is actively promoting the deep integration of digital technologies and public services. As of December 2025, the number of users of online government services, online medicine, and online education reached 940 million, 411 million, and 327 million, respectively.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) — The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday voted against President Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs on Canadian goods.

Lawmakers voted 219 to 211 against a resolution to end punitive tariffs on Canadian goods under the pretext of a national emergency, local media reported.

While the vote is largely symbolic, as the resolution still needs to be approved by the U.S. Senate and then by Trump himself, it shows that lawmakers are in a difficult position: vote to “lower the cost of living for American families” or “keep prices high out of loyalty to one man — Donald Trump,” said Democrat Gregory Meeks, the resolution’s sponsor.

During the vote, D. Trump threatened on his social media: “Any Republican, in the House or Senate, who votes against tariffs will suffer greatly at the polls.”

"Tariffs have given us economic and national security, and no Republican should destroy that opportunity," he said.

US House Speaker Mike Johnson tried to block the vote on Tuesday, urging lawmakers to wait for the Supreme Court to rule on the legality of Trump's tariffs, but failed.

Since the beginning of his second presidential term in January 2025, D. Trump has imposed a series of tariffs on goods from Canada. The resolution, proposed by G. Meeks, aims to end the state of emergency that D. Trump declared a year ago with his executive order. –0–
