BEIJING, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) — China hopes Japan will reflect deeply on its responsibility for war crimes and learn from history, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday.

The Chinese diplomat made the statement at a regular departmental briefing, commenting on Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's speech at the general debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in New York, in which the Japanese prime minister shared his views on historical issues.

In his speech, S. Ishiba stated that "no country can pave the way to a bright future without facing its historical past, and we must never allow the horrors of war to be repeated." He added that "the peoples of Asia demonstrated a spirit of tolerance by welcoming Japan into their ranks after the war." However, as Guo Jiakun pointed out, the speech made no mention of "aggression" or "apologies," and also avoided the topic of Japan's responsibility as the instigator of the war.

According to the Chinese diplomat, S. Ishiba previously asserted that Japan is guided by the spirit of "a sober view of history and a forward-looking approach" in continuing to pursue the path of peaceful development. He also said that Japan must reflect on history and firmly remember its lessons to avoid repeating past military mistakes.

As Guo Jiakun pointed out, China has consistently maintained that understanding and addressing history correctly, reflecting on the history of military aggression, and apologizing for it, translated into concrete actions, have become an important prerequisite for Japan's post-war return to the international community. The Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson added that this is also crucial for the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations, Japan's ties with neighboring countries, and Japan's global image.

He stressed that Japan must completely end any attempts to whitewash or conceal the history of military aggression, firmly follow the path of peaceful development, and earn the trust of its Asian neighbors and the rest of the world through real actions. –0–

UN, September 24 (Xinhua) — China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Geng Shuang on Tuesday emphasized the importance of containing the spillover effects of the crisis in Ukraine. He said the Ukrainian crisis has caused serious damage to global economic development, with developing countries bearing the brunt.

"The international community must strengthen cooperation on food, energy, finance, trade, and critical infrastructure protection to jointly maintain stability and the smooth functioning of global supply chains," he said at a high-level UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine.

According to him, instead of promoting a political settlement of the issue, unilateral sanctions and the use of long-arm jurisdiction under the pretext of a crisis create new problems.

Dialogue and negotiations on the Ukrainian crisis have recently gained momentum: key parties have held a series of meetings. However, significant differences remain in their positions and proposals, Geng Shuang noted. "The parties to the conflict must intensify their efforts, demonstrate political will, demonstrate flexibility, and seriously address and appropriately address each other's legitimate security concerns in order to reach a comprehensive, lasting, and binding peace agreement as soon as possible," he added.

Facilitating de-escalation is a top priority, Geng Shuang noted.

There are currently no signs of a cessation of hostilities on the ground. Both sides continue to carry out large-scale attacks using drones and missiles, and significant quantities of weapons and ammunition continue to arrive on the battlefield. China hopes that all parties will play a constructive role in de-escalating the situation and create the necessary conditions for a speedy cessation of hostilities, he stated.

Alleviating the humanitarian crisis is a moral imperative, Geng Shuang noted.

According to him, civilians are the greatest victims of the conflict. Parties to the conflict must exercise restraint, strictly adhere to international humanitarian law, refrain under all circumstances from attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure, and avoid the use of weapons of mass destruction. The international community must step up humanitarian assistance to help those affected by the crisis overcome their difficulties, he added.

Since the first day of the crisis, China has maintained an objective and impartial position, calling for an end to hostilities and advocating for peaceful negotiations for a political settlement. China is ready to work with the international community and continue to play a constructive role in promoting an early political resolution to the crisis, Geng Shuang emphasized.

China calls for speedy resolution of Palestinian issue

UN, September 24 /Xinhua/ — A resolution to the Palestinian issue is urgently needed, as it underlies instability in the Middle East. China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Geng Shuang, stated this at a high-level meeting of the UN Security Council on Tuesday.

According to him, the Palestinian issue remains central to the Middle East, affecting peace and stability in the region.

For more than 70 years, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has repeatedly led to chaos and war, shaping the international landscape, he said.

Since the start of the current war in Gaza, the Palestinian people have been plunged into deep suffering, he said, adding that tensions have increased in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran, and even Qatar has come under attack.

Growing conflicts and instability in the Middle East have worsened the global security situation, weakened the global economic outlook, and run counter to the common interests of the international community, he emphasized. "That's why it's essential to prioritize this issue and expedite its resolution," the Chinese diplomat stated.

The tragedy in Gaza must be stopped immediately, Geng Shuang stated, noting that the conflict has left the Gaza Strip "destroyed and scarred." However, Israel continues to escalate its military operation, leading to even greater civilian casualties and displacement. "We call on Israel to immediately cease all military actions in Gaza, fulfill its obligations as an occupying power under international humanitarian law, and fully restore humanitarian access," he said.

Israel continues to expand settlements in the West Bank, forcibly dismantling Palestinian structures, frequently conducting raids, arrests, and attacks, and turning a blind eye to settler violence, he added. Noting that Israel recently approved the E1 settlement plan, Geng Shuang stated that this dangerous action constitutes a serious violation of international law and Security Council resolutions, undermines the territorial integrity of Palestine, and erodes the foundation for the establishment of an independent State of Palestine.

The implementation of the "two-state solution" is the only viable solution to the Palestinian issue, he emphasized, adding that several Western countries have recently recognized Palestinian statehood. The international community must support the current momentum, the swift establishment of an independent State of Palestine, and its admission to the UN as a full member, he said.

Since the beginning of the current conflict in Gaza, military adventurism and frequent abuses of force have emerged, causing profound changes in the regional situation, Geng Shuang noted. China calls on all parties to respect the sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of Middle Eastern countries, and on Israel to sincerely respect the rights of the region's people to survival and development. China calls on all countries in the region to adhere to the concept of common security and unite to build a regional order based on equality and justice, so as to jointly build a future of peace and development, he said.

China has always upheld justice and fairness toward Palestine and has consistently steadfastly supported the just cause of the Palestinian people, Geng Shuang emphasized. China remains willing to work with the international community to promote a ceasefire, alleviate the humanitarian disaster, realize the principle of "two states for two peoples," and achieve a comprehensive and lasting settlement of the Palestinian issue, he concluded.

BEIJING, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) — China, which has the world's largest education system, has taken consistent and carefully considered steps to enhance its global competitiveness in education.

In March 2021, China unveiled the country's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), which put forward a series of goals in the education sector as part of the country's efforts to build a modernized socialist country.

These goals include ensuring equal access to basic education, improving vocational education, enhancing the quality of higher education and deepening reforms in this area.

More than four years later, the results and statistics summarized at a press conference on Tuesday show that China has not only achieved its goals but also made breakthroughs in many areas of the education sector.

"China has built the largest and highest-quality education system globally, ensuring strong guarantees for equal access for children," Education Minister Huai Jinpeng said at a press conference.

One of the country's key achievements is that basic education development has reached the average level of high-income countries. Access to high-quality compulsory education has steadily expanded, with 2,895 counties nationwide achieving balanced development in this area. China also increased subsidies for needy students. From 2021 to 2024, a total of 630 million students received subsidies. The amount of subsidies distributed exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan (approximately $169 billion).

In addition, the gross enrolment rate in pre-primary education reached 92 percent, exceeding the target of 90 percent set for the period 2021-2025, while the gross enrolment rate in higher education rose to 60.8 percent, slightly exceeding the target of 60 percent.

Over the past four years, Chinese higher education institutions have graduated more than 55 million people and won more than 75 percent of the country's national awards in natural sciences and technological inventions.

“Chinese universities have made breakthroughs in areas such as life sciences, quantum technology, artificial intelligence, materials science, and space science, and have also made progress in philosophy, social sciences, culture, and the arts,” the minister noted.

China has also created the world's largest vocational education system. As Vice Minister of Education Xiong Sihao announced at a press conference on Tuesday, the country currently has 9,302 secondary vocational schools, 1,562 higher vocational schools, and 87 undergraduate schools. They enroll a total of 34 million people.

China is also making efforts to integrate manufacturing and education to better link talent development with regional economic and industrial development.

During this period, China has undertaken comprehensive reforms in the education sector. These include optimizing the allocation of resources to basic education, improving the college entrance examination system, and diversifying professional development pathways for university students.

China's education sector is also increasingly opening up to the outside world. The country has created the world's largest intelligent education platform, providing high-quality services to over 170 million users from over 200 countries and regions.

According to data released at the press conference, China has carried out educational cooperation and exchanges with 183 countries and regions around the world, signed agreements on mutual recognition of education, qualifications and academic degrees with 61 countries and regions around the world, and cooperated with 42 countries and regions in the management of joint educational institutions and programs. -0-

Tashkent, September 24 (Xinhua) – The new Uzbekistan advocates solidarity, open dialogue, and close cooperation with all countries of the world, and is ready to contribute to strengthening dialogue among peoples, cultures, and civilizations, and to achieving the goals of humanity. This was stated by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, speaking at the 80th anniversary session of the UN General Assembly.

"As was emphasized, our country consistently continues to implement the policy of building a democratic, legal, social, and secular state—a New Uzbekistan," the statement read.

It was noted that in recent years, the poverty rate in Uzbekistan has been reduced from 35 percent to 6.6 percent. This was achieved primarily through reforming education and science, creating innovative industries and technological industrial enterprises, developing green energy, modernizing transport infrastructure, and providing comprehensive support for small businesses, thereby creating millions of jobs.

"Special attention was given to Uzbekistan's foreign policy priorities. The country's leader noted: 'Eight years ago, from this lofty podium, we declared our firm resolve to transform Central Asia into a space of peace, good-neighborliness, and partnership. And today, we can state with deep satisfaction that we have achieved this strategic goal. The era of closed borders, unresolved disputes, and conflicts is a thing of the past,'" the statement reads.

New York, September 24 (Xinhua) — China is willing to work with Canada to make more proactive and practical efforts to further improve bilateral relations.

He expressed China's willingness to strengthen communication and coordination with Canada to jointly promote economic globalization and free trade, support the reform and development of the WTO, and work to build an open world economy to better safeguard the common interests of the international community.

BEIJING, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) — China has established a complete industrial chain system for key intelligent connected vehicle technologies, covering intelligent cockpit, autonomous driving, and cloud connectivity and control technologies, according to the Chinese daily Keji Ribao (Science and Technology).

The scale of China's intelligent connected vehicle industry is growing rapidly, Guo Shougang, an official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), said at a press conference held for the 2025 World Conference on Intelligent Connected Vehicles (WICV-2025) in Beijing.

According to Guo Shougang, from January to July 2025, 7.76 million new passenger cars equipped with Level 2 (L2) combined driver assistance functions were sold in China, representing a penetration rate of 62.58 percent, with more than 3 million cars equipped with 5G and C-V2X (cellular communication that allows the car to communicate with other road users and the network) technologies.

China is accelerating the development of 20 pilot cities for the integration of the "car-road-cloud" process, with more than 35,000 km of test and demonstration roads opened during the construction, he said.

The country will also accelerate the development of urgently needed standards for combined driver assistance systems, automated driving systems and automatic emergency braking systems.

China's Ministry of Transport plans to release an action plan for integrating AI into the transportation sector, bringing together the industry and the public to build a comprehensive transportation megamodel and accelerate the popularization of intelligent assistant technologies.

As a key link in the integrated development of automotive technologies with AI, ICT, cloud computing, and big data, intelligent connected vehicles have become a strategic compass guiding the transformation and modernization of the global automotive industry.

Since 2018, WICV has been held for the seventh time in a row, and WICV-2025 is scheduled for October 16-18. -0-
