Beijing, November 29 (Xinhua) — Five trucks carrying cross-border e-commerce goods, the first in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), recently departed from Urumqi. This marks the official launch of this pilot model for cross-border e-commerce goods in the XUAR.

According to the Xinjiang Daily, citing a source at the Wuchang Customs Office of the Urumqi Customs, the "inspection first, then shipment" system, compared to the traditional model, allows companies to first file a customs declaration, then load the goods onto a vehicle and ship them immediately after customs inspection. Customs inspects and verifies cargo using information technology, eliminating repetitive intermediate operations such as loading and unloading, sealing, and breaking seals. The new model will reduce customs clearance time for cross-border e-commerce shipments by approximately 30 percent.

"Our cargo primarily originates from Guangdong Province (in southern China) and is exported to Russia via the Jimunai and Baktu ports. According to preliminary estimates, the new model will save at least 1,000 yuan (approximately $141) in loading and unloading costs for each truck, thereby reducing the company's operating costs by 600,000 yuan per year and customs clearance time by an average of approximately four hours," said Jin Yan, deputy general manager of Xinyu, a Xinjiang-based cross-border e-commerce company that was the first to use this model.

Wuchang Customs promised to closely monitor the quality assessment and effectiveness of this regime, and promote its scaling and dissemination in Urumqi City, so as to create a model for the high-quality development of Xinjiang's cross-border e-commerce industry. -0-

BEIJING, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) — The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has opened a "green channel" for yuan donations from the country's interior to ensure that the funds are immediately deposited into recipient accounts in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) following a fire at an apartment complex that killed multiple people.

Under this "corridor," commercial banks will not need to verify relevant documents and information. They will be able to directly transfer donations to the Hongfuyuan Support Fund account in Dapu District based on payment instructions received from institutions or individuals in mainland China. The relevant data will be provided through the RMB cross-border payment management information system.

According to the PBC, the new measure is aimed at supporting search and rescue efforts, providing assistance to victims, and eliminating the consequences of the fire in Hong Kong.

Firefighting and search and rescue operations concluded Friday morning after a deadly fire broke out at Hong Kong's Hongfuyuan residential complex on Wednesday afternoon, killing 128 people. -0-

TOKYO, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) — Japanese residents held another large protest on Friday evening in response to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's recent misleading remarks about China's Taiwan and her lack of remorse, demanding that she retract her statements.

Hundreds of people gathered again in front of the Japanese Prime Minister's official residence following protests on November 21 and 25. Protesters held banners reading "Takaichi resign" and "Never forget history, never repeat mistakes," demanding that Sanae Takaichi retract her comments about Taiwan.

Protest participant Tomoko told Xinhua that relations between Japan and China have currently deteriorated. "No matter how you look at it, it's because of Sanae Takaichi's statements," she said.

Another protester, Sakamaki, said Japan-China relations were deteriorating and the prime minister should retract her erroneous remarks to prevent further escalation.

Ryo attended the protest with a cartoon depicting Sanae Takaichi shaking hands with the "ghost of militarism." He expressed his deep concern that Japan could become militaristic.

At a Diet session on November 7, Sanae Takaichi said that "the use of force against Taiwan" by mainland China could pose a "threat to the survival" of Japan and hinted at the possibility of armed intervention in the Taiwan Strait, prompting sharp criticism at home.

Washington, November 29 (Xinhua) — The United States has suspended entry visas for Afghan citizens, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Friday, after an Afghan national shot and killed one National Guard soldier and seriously wounded another near the White House on Wednesday.

"President Trump's State Department has suspended visas for all travelers holding Afghan passports," M. Rubio wrote on social media. "The United States has no higher priority than protecting our country and our people," he added.

“The Department of State has immediately suspended visas for individuals traveling on Afghan passports,” the State Department said in a statement.

According to local media, R. Lakanwal was declared “clean on all counts” both before starting work for the CIA in Afghanistan and before immigrating to the United States.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the shooting as an act of terrorism.

Washington, November 29 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro last week, The New York Times (NYT) reported on Friday, citing sources.

The two leaders discussed the possibility of a face-to-face meeting, although no agreements were reached, according to the report. The report also noted that the White House and the Venezuelan government declined to comment on the conversation, which also included US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The conversation between Donald Trump and Nicolás Maduro took place several days before a US State Department regulation went into effect. According to this decision, the Cartel de los Soles, allegedly led by Nicolás Maduro, will be added to the list of foreign terrorist organizations, the NYT reports.

Two people close to the Venezuelan government also confirmed the telephone conversations between the two leaders.

In his Thanksgiving Day address to U.S. troops Thursday evening, Donald Trump suggested the United States could begin combating drug trafficking from Venezuela on land "very soon."

"Seaborne shipments have been cut off by 85 percent… and we'll start stopping them on land," Trump said at his Mar-a-Lago estate. "It's easier to do on land, and it'll start very soon."

Since early September, the Pentagon has carried out more than 20 strikes on suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, killing more than 80 people.

The massive aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford arrived in the Caribbean last week, bolstering the U.S. military presence in the region to its largest in 30 years.

N. Maduro denies any involvement in drug trafficking, accusing the United States of “fabricating” a pretext for war in order to change the regime in Venezuela. –0–
