BEIJING, July 14 (Xinhua) — Chinese Vice President Han Zheng met with Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in Beijing on Monday.

Han Zheng said that the successful meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Kazan last October brought China-India relations to a new starting point. Stressing that China and India are both major developing countries and important members of the Global South, he pointed out that the win-win partnership strategy is the right choice for both sides.

Han Zheng called on the two sides to step up the implementation of the important agreements reached by the leaders of the two countries, unswervingly adhere to the policy of the top leadership, steadily deepen pragmatic cooperation, respect each other's concerns, and promote the steady, healthy and stable development of China-India relations.

S. Jaishankar said that after the meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Kazan, India-China relations have shown steady improvement. The Indian side is ready, guided by the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, to maintain the positive dynamics of bilateral ties, promote mutually beneficial cooperation and strengthen communication and coordination in multilateral mechanisms, he added.

“India supports China, which has assumed the rotating chairmanship of the SCO, in hosting the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit this year,” S. Jaishankar stressed. -0-

KYIV, July 14 (Xinhua) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky submitted to the Verkhovna Rada on Monday bills to extend martial law and general mobilization in the country for another 90 days, until November 5 this year. The cards of both bills were published on the official website of the Ukrainian parliament.

The martial law and general mobilization are set to expire on August 7. The main reason for the need to extend both legal regimes is cited in the explanatory notes to the bills as the ongoing armed conflict with Russia.

Martial law and general mobilization were introduced in Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The Verkhovna Rada has extended them 15 times already. –0–

BEIJING, July 14 (Xinhua) — Astronomers have begun searching for traces of the Big Bang using a radio telescope installed at an altitude of 5,250 meters above sea level in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region.

The AliCPT-1 radio telescope has captured the first images of the Moon and Jupiter at 150 GHz, marking a key step toward probing primordial gravitational waves, the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IHEP CAS) announced on Sunday.

Gravitational waves are faint whispers from the dawn of time that may hold the key to explaining how the universe came into being.

Imagine the universe at birth; primordial gravitational waves would be its very first cry. Born from quantum fluctuations in spacetime during the inflationary stage, primordial gravitational waves are thought to be the most pristine ripples ever recorded in the universe.

In this regard, probing primordial gravitational waves is important for testing the Big Bang theory, the quantum theory of gravity.

“If we successfully detect primordial gravitational waves, we will be able to see the Universe at the very first moment of its existence,” said Xinmin Zhang, the principal investigator of the AliCPT-1 project and a senior researcher at the IHEP.

“At the same time, it could lead to breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies such as cryogenic superconducting detectors and cryogenic readout electronics, bringing cosmology into an era of unprecedented precision,” the scientist added.

The construction of the radio telescope took eight years. The project involved 16 research institutions, including the National Astronomical Observatory of the ANC and Stanford University in the United States.

According to the results of the study, the list of areas on Earth suitable for probing primary gravity waves includes only Antarctica, the Atacama Desert in Chile, the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and Greenland, said project leader Liu Congzhan.

Obtaining images of the Moon and Jupiter is just the beginning. The AliCPT-1 radio telescope fills a gap in China and, together with devices in Antarctica and Chile, forms a global network, said IHEP researcher Li Hong of the ANC. -0-

BEIJING, July 14 (Xinhua) — Since their establishment more than 40 years ago, China's national-level Economic and Technological Development Zones have prioritized opening up and served as the "first tier" in promoting foreign trade and attracting foreign investment, said Ji Xiaofeng, spokesperson for the Foreign Investment Department of the Ministry of Commerce.

For four decades, these zones have made continuous efforts to improve themselves and have been committed to building a high-quality, law-based business environment, Ji Xiaofeng said, speaking at the latest edition of the China Economy Roundtable hosted by Xinhua News Agency.

By the end of 2024, China had established 232 state-level economic and technological development zones, which together housed more than 60,000 foreign-invested companies.

Among them, Japanese electronics giant Panasonic was one of the first foreign investors in the Chinese market. Today, it has three subsidiaries in the Suzhou Industrial Park in East China's Jiangsu Province.

Suzhou Industrial Park ranks first among all national-level economic and technological development zones in China in terms of development level as of the end of 2024, maintaining the top position for the ninth consecutive year, according to an annual ranking released by the Ministry of Commerce.

“The industrial park’s location, industrial chain and policy support make it very attractive to us and will bring great benefits to our investment and development not only in Suzhou but also in China as a whole,” said Zhao Bindi, president of Panasonic China.

In May, China's Ministry of Commerce released a work plan to further deepen reform and innovation in state-level economic and technological development zones, marking the latest move by China to strengthen the zones' role in promoting high-level opening-up.

“We have been witnesses and beneficiaries of China’s reform and opening up. As the country moves toward high-quality development, we remain committed to our continued growth here,” Zhao Bingdi said. -0-
