BEIJING, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) — As of September 28, the volume of small-scale trade between residents of the Chinese-Russian border areas in Manzhouli City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, north China, since the beginning of 2025 exceeded 200 million yuan (approximately 28 million U.S. dollars), a year-on-year increase of 432.46 percent. This figure has reached a new high in the city's history, according to a statement posted on the official website of the Manzhouli City Hall.

The report notes that residents of border areas, through special cooperatives, share resources and collaborate on joint activities, jointly developing sources of imported goods and expanding their distribution channels within the country. Border cooperatives collaborate with processing plants to process and transform imported goods locally, thereby expanding the production chain, increasing incomes for border residents, and enhancing the stimulating effect of mutual trade between border residents on the development of local industry.

According to statistics, since the beginning of this year, more than 26,000 border residents in Manzhouli have directly benefited from small-scale cross-border trade, and their participation and sense of achievement continue to grow, while the impact of this form of trade on ensuring the stable development of border areas and increasing the income of their residents is becoming increasingly noticeable.

In the future, the Manzhouli Border Residents' Mutual Trade Zone will continue to focus on improving the application process, promoting the growth of border residents' benefit from this form of trade, encouraging border residents' cooperatives to continuously expand their business scopes and deepen their links with the domestic and international markets, so as to promote border residents' mutual trade to a higher level of development. -0-

Pyongyang, October 5 (Xinhua) — Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) called for a steady increase in the country's military capabilities in response to national security threats at the opening ceremony of a military equipment exhibition on Saturday, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Sunday.

Speaking at the "National Defense Development 2025" exhibition, Kim Jong-un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK, noted that the exhibition showcases the latest results of important projects aimed at modernizing the country's defense capabilities, which are based on nuclear deterrence.

He emphasized that the country must not allow its defense progress to slow down under any circumstances. "Our military capabilities must constantly improve," Kim Jong-un stated.

He said the various types of exercises conducted by the United States under the so-called nuclear operational guidelines pose a "real and serious threat to the security of our country and other states in the region."

The DPRK is closely monitoring US actions, including the deployment of strategic strike and reconnaissance assets on and around the Korean Peninsula, as well as their mobilization for hostile military actions, the leader noted, adding that the country has already taken "concrete measures."

“If the United States continues to take dangerous steps to build up its military power while ignoring the security concerns of countries in the region, such actions will only encourage us to implement relevant military and technological measures with even greater determination to address new threats and maintain the balance of power,” Kim Jong Un said. –0–
