BEIJING, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) — The number of TIR (Transportation International Road Transport) truck shipments from the China-SCO Regional Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone (hereinafter referred to as the "China-SCO Demonstration Zone") in Qingdao, east China's Shandong Province, reached 239 units in the first seven months of 2025, up 134.3 percent year on year, according to a post on the zone's official Wechat account.

The data also showed that the value of cargo carried by these vehicles was 156 million yuan, up 190.5 percent from the same period last year.

TIR is an international system that simplifies the transportation of goods between countries. Within its framework, the goods are sealed at the starting point of the route and checked only upon arrival at the destination, and at intermediate border crossings, checkpoint officers only check the TIR carnet data and the customs stamp for the vehicle. This reduces the travel time and reduces possible risks associated with administrative customs control procedures and damage to the goods. China joined the TIR Convention in July 2016.

At present, there are 4 TIR road freight routes operating as a starting point in the China-SCO Demonstration Zone, including China-Russia, China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan and China-Kazakhstan. They now transport 40 types of goods, including food, as well as mechanical and electrical equipment.

Recently, a truck loaded with food products, electrical equipment, etc., left the China-SCO Demonstration Zone for Moscow under the TIR system. The cargo, worth approximately 1.3 million yuan, is expected to arrive in the Russian capital in 9 days.

Currently, on average, at least one vehicle under the TIR system departs from the designated area to Russia or Central Asia every day.

The above routes serve as a safe, stable and convenient international logistics channel for more than 1,000 enterprises engaged in foreign economic activity, the post noted. -0-

NANJING, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) — Nanjing Forestry University (NLU) recently opened an urban culture study camp for Chinese and Russian students.

The event was attended by a delegation of students and teachers majoring in design from Russian universities. Students from both countries will use advanced digital design thinking to jointly explore ways of contemporary expression and innovative dissemination of intangible cultural heritage /ICH/.

According to the NLU website, in his welcoming speech, NLU Vice-Rector Yin Tongming emphasized that culture is a bridge that connects hearts, and the “boundlessness of traditional Chinese culture” reflects the essence of the mutual enrichment of civilizations, while “innovative craftsmanship” infuses tradition with the vitality of modernity. Nanjing Forestry University has always adhered to the strategy of internationalization, and, relying on the only doctoral program in design among agricultural and forestry universities in the country and the platform of leading and key disciplines in Jiangsu Province (East China), shoulders the responsibility and has the ability to play a leading role in promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent Chinese traditional culture, and promoting exchanges and mutual enrichment between Chinese and foreign civilizations.

Yin Tongming said that promoting special cooperation with Russian universities has become an important milestone in NLU's active expansion of educational and cultural exchanges with Russia and active construction of the educational design community within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. The university regards this training camp as a starting point for exploring ways to establish a long-term cooperation mechanism in design education between young people in China and Russia.

It is reported that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Nanjing Forestry University has established deep partnerships with more than 100 famous universities and research institutes in more than 20 countries and regions. This week-long training camp will focus on “decoding the cultural code of Nanjing.” The camp program will include visits to key cultural sites such as the Nanjing Folk Customs Museum and the Yunjin Brocade Institute, as well as deep immersion projects in the study of traditional NCH crafts. -0-

BEIJING, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) — Since the beginning of this year, two automobile checkpoints on the Chinese-Kyrgyz border in the Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Prefecture of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region have seen a significant increase in border crossings, the press service of the prefecture said.

As of August 11, the Irkeshtam and Torugart checkpoints exceeded 179.6 thousand and 17 thousand person-times this year, an increase of 82.6 and 293.21 percent, respectively, according to the latest data from the Xinjiang Border Administration.

The increase in border crossings at the Irkeshtam checkpoint was achieved due to increased efficiency and capacity in passenger transportation following the launch of cross-border tourism services at this border crossing.

According to a representative of one of the local transport companies, the company operates twice a week on the recently opened international passenger route from the city of Atushi /located in the above-mentioned district/ to the Kyrgyz city of Osh. The distance between the two settlements is 720 km, which takes only 12 hours to cover.

According to customs officials at the Torugart checkpoint, the increase in border crossings was due to the increase in the number of employees involved in the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway construction project.

There has also been a noticeable increase in the number of foreign tourists and tour groups passing through Torugart, they added. -0-
