WASHINGTON, November 19 (Xinhua) — The U.S. Senate on Tuesday unanimously approved a House-passed bill requiring the Justice Department to release records on the case of late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The document will be submitted to US President Donald Trump for signature.

The Senate passed the bill unanimously, just hours after it was approved in the House.

The House of Representatives passed the bill by an overwhelming 427-1 vote. The bill requires the Justice Department to release all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in its possession related to the investigation and prosecution of J. Epstein.

The U.S. Department of Justice may withhold certain information, such as victims' personal information and materials that could jeopardize an ongoing federal investigation.

Congress' approval came just two days after Trump suddenly reversed his previous position and called on House Republicans to support the release of materials on the Epstein case.

The late financier maintained close ties with many prominent American politicians and businessmen. He was arrested on charges of sexual assault, and in August 2019, he died in a prison cell, officially ruled a suicide.

During his 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump promised to release documents on the J. Epstein case if elected. However, on July 7, the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a memorandum asserting that no "incriminating client list" exists, nor is there evidence that J. Epstein's death was a homicide. They also stated that no other documents related to the financier would be released.

The newly approved bill was introduced in the House of Representatives in mid-July, but Republican leaders, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, delayed the process for several months.

Democrat Ro Khanna and Republican Thomas Massie led a special petition that, with 218 signatures, would have bypassed committee consideration of the bill. Last Wednesday, the petition reached the required number of signatures.

Also on Wednesday, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released documents related to George Epstein and concerning Donald Trump. In response, Republicans on the committee released a much larger number of documents, accusing Democrats of selective disclosure.

On Friday, Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate high-ranking Democrats linked to James Epstein, including former President Bill Clinton. Critics see the move as an attempt to counter the fallout from the Democrats' recent release of documents related to the late financier and concerning Donald Trump.

TOKYO, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) — Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's recent erroneous remarks about China's Taiwan are "extremely harmful," bringing no security benefits to Japan or its people, and posing a serious threat to Japan-China relations, Japanese expert Yuki Izumikawa warned in a recent interview with Xinhua.

During a parliamentary hearing earlier this month, Takaichi mentioned the so-called "survival threat" clause in the country's deeply divisive security legislation and linked it to the Taiwan issue, hinting that Tokyo might view the Taiwan issue as grounds for military intervention.

Yu Izumikawa, a special research fellow at Okinawa University, called the comments, made in Japan's parliament, "extremely serious."

"Japan and China are important neighbors with deep economic and cultural ties. If Takaichi's comments damage bilateral relations or hinder exchanges, that would be a serious problem," he said.

S. Takaichi later stated that her comments were consistent with the government's long-standing position. Yuri Izumikawa called this "absurd," noting that previous governments never stated that the Taiwan Strait could trigger Japan's right to collective self-defense.

"Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe once said that 'Taiwan's emergency is Japan's emergency,' but he said that in an online speech after leaving office, not at a formal Diet meeting," he noted.

An expert criticized S. Takaichi for stoking fears of a "Taiwan emergency," calling it inappropriate and dangerous.

He also highlighted Taiwan's painful history under Japanese colonial rule after the unequal Treaty of Shimonoseki, which makes Japan's statements about Taiwan particularly sensitive to the Chinese people.

Yuri Izumikawa recalled that the 1972 joint statement between Japan and China stated that the Japanese government fully understands and respects the position of the Chinese government that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory.

The expert emphasized that the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair. If Japan uses force under the pretext of a "crisis of survival," it would be tantamount to an act of aggression for China.

He warned that any military conflict would seriously impact the domestic situation in Japan, especially on islands such as Okinawa, where the Self-Defense Forces and the US military are increasing joint deployments and exercises.

"If a conflict breaks out, these areas will become battlefields. It's not like they're being drawn into a war—Japan itself will actively enter the war. This is extremely dangerous," he warned.

TOKYO, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) — Japanese media experts and scholars continue to criticize Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi for her misguided remarks regarding China's Taiwan, calling her tenure as prime minister a crisis threatening Japan's survival.

On November 7, at a Diet session, S. Takaichi stated that the emergency surrounding Taiwan could constitute a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan, allowing the country to exercise its right to collective self-defense.

Noriyuki Kawamura, a professor emeritus at Nagoya University of Foreign Studies and vice president of the Japan-China Relations Association, stated in a recent article that Takaichi's remarks on Taiwan contradict the position of previous Japanese administrations, constitute interference in China's internal affairs, and violate the one-China principle.

"S. Takaichi's very tenure as prime minister represents a situation that threatens Japan's survival," stated a recent editorial in the Japanese newspaper Shakai Shimpo.

It notes that S. Takaichi's political intentions are becoming increasingly obvious: she ignores the interests of the people, blindly follows in the footsteps of the United States, and is trying to actively stimulate military expansion.

The editorial also noted that Takaichi's policy speech was full of aggressive statements, such as achieving the defense spending target ahead of schedule, creating a new national intelligence agency, and easing arms export regulations, which can only be seen as a deliberate attempt to escalate tensions.

Since Takaichi's election as prime minister, her political base has been unstable. The ruling coalition, formed by her Liberal Democratic Party and the Japan Innovation Party, holds less than half the seats in both houses of parliament.

According to the Shakai Shimpo newspaper, S. Takaichi should have “hidden her harshness” and listened to the opinions of opposition parties, but it is clear that she has decided to strengthen her base by emphasizing her right-wing position.

Professor Emeritus Atsushi Koketsu of Japan's Yamaguchi University believes that Takaichi's statements fundamentally refute Japan's path to developing as a peaceful state in accordance with its pacifist constitution and deserve harsh criticism.

According to the professor, political calculations are clearly at work here. The Prime Minister is seeking to strengthen his support base by constantly hyping the "China threat" theory. A. Koketsu added that outspoken statements on the Taiwan issue, which constitute interference in China's internal affairs, are unacceptable and outrageous.

Yoichi Jomaru, a former journalist for the Asahi Shimbun newspaper, emphasized that the Takaichi administration attempted to downplay the situation by claiming that its statements were no different from the government's long-standing position, but that its statements regarding Taiwan were extremely reckless. Such a statement was in itself a mistake and should be retracted as soon as possible.

"For Japan's security, diplomacy, and economy, establishing a mutually beneficial relationship with China must be a top priority," stated A. Koketsu. He emphasized that Japan should strive to build peaceful relations with China, based on the one-China principle agreed upon during the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Beijing, November 19 (Xinhua) — Every year, the China International Import Expo (CIIE) attracts the world's attention. The 8th CIIE recently concluded in Shanghai, eastern China. As an important platform for China to actively expand opening-up and promote high-level opening-up, the event has become a "golden channel" for high-quality products from around the world to enter the Chinese market since its inception in 2018. And on this stage, which unites global innovation and high quality, the national brand "Made in Russia" participated in the exhibition for the eighth consecutive year, becoming a living illustration of the deepening trade and economic cooperation between China and Russia.

At CIIE 2025, the "Made in Russia" brand once again showcased its extensive exhibit, bringing together 78 leading companies from five sectors: food and agricultural products, consumer goods, healthcare and medicine, information technology (IT), and services. Among these, food industry companies continue to form the core (61 exhibitors), fully showcasing Russia's advantages in agriculture and healthy food production. The addition of high-value-added industries such as healthcare and IT also demonstrates that "Made in Russia" is evolving beyond its traditional focus toward a broader and more diversified direction.

Thus, the participation of "Made in Russia" in CIIE 2025 demonstrates that Russia can offer not only high-quality agricultural products but also innovative technologies, reliable medical solutions, and designer consumer goods. This diversified, high-quality, and sustainable brand image is highly consistent with current trends in the Chinese market: growing consumer demand and a desire for a healthy lifestyle.

The products on display not only offer a diverse range but also generally comply with the requirements of the "Made in Russia" national brand certification system. This system, overseen by the Russian Export Center (REC), is a voluntary certification mechanism that focuses on assessing the quality, environmental friendliness, and authenticity of products.

"Made in Russia" isn't just a label; it's a commitment to quality and responsibility. This helps Russian companies build trust in foreign markets, especially in a health- and safety-conscious market like China.

REC Vice President Tatyana An announced at the 8th China International Import Expo in Shanghai that the REC plans to significantly increase the number of specialized "Made in Russia" retail stores in China by early 2026.

To ensure a stable supply of Russian goods, the Russian Export Center (REC) opened the first "Made in Russia" distribution center in Suifenhe, Heilongjiang Province, northeast China. Since the beginning of 2024, the REC has already held "Made in Russia" festivals and fairs in cities such as Shenyang, Dalian, Harbin, Chengdu, and Beijing.

As cooperation between China and Russia deepens in areas such as economics and trade, agriculture, and science and technology, the CIIE has become the "best testing ground" for Russian companies, allowing them to explore the Chinese market, find partners, and test products. Through this platform, more and more Russian small and medium-sized enterprises are gaining the opportunity to directly interact with Chinese distributors, retailers, and end consumers, transitioning from "exhibition participation" to "market entry."

Going forward, Made in Russia will continue to use the CIIE platform as a bridge to promote more high-quality, environmentally friendly, and innovative Russian products to the Chinese market. This is not only a practical result of trade and economic cooperation between the two countries, but also a shared vision between China and Russia to jointly create a new ecosystem of "healthy, safe, and sustainable consumption."

Based on mutual trust and mutually beneficial cooperation, the connection between "Made in Russia" and the Chinese market will undoubtedly become even closer and deeper. More and more Chinese consumers experience Russia's sincerity and high quality through these products. Russian products, which meet the tastes and needs of Chinese consumers, are becoming increasingly popular and well-known in China.
