JERUSALEM, July 23 (Xinhua) — Israel must achieve a complete victory in the war in the Gaza Strip, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday.

According to a statement released by the minister's office, I. Katz assessed the situation on several fronts with IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and other senior commanders.

"We have come as close as possible to achieving the goals of the war. We have two open theaters of military operations left in Gaza and Yemen, and we must strive for complete victory in both," the head of the Ministry of Defense noted.

I. Katz emphasized the importance of achieving the set military goals, primarily the return of all Israeli hostages and the capitulation of the Hamas movement.

He added that there was a possibility of a renewed war against Iran and pointed to the need to preserve the “achievements” of the June operation against the Islamic Republic and develop an effective plan to force Iran to abandon its nuclear and missile programs.

I. Katz also said that the IDF's presence at checkpoints and in security zones in various areas, including Syria and Lebanon, is necessary to protect Israeli communities. The IDF will remain in refugee camps in the West Bank and will operate in other camps if necessary, he added.

The minister's comments came as talks on a Gaza ceasefire continue in Doha and Israeli media reports earlier in the day indicated significant progress.–0–

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Grigorenko visited Novosibirsk State University

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On Monday, July 21, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko visited the Novosibirsk Region on a working visit. One of the items on the agenda was a visit to Novosibirsk State University, where guests were presented with developments of the Center for Artificial Intelligence (CAI) and the Advanced Engineering School (AES) of NSU.

During the meeting, the rector of NSU, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Mikhail Fedoruk, introduced the vice-premier to the history of the university, told him what is special about NSU, what it is now and what are the plans for the near future. He noted the special role of the university as a center of attraction for innovations and its contribution to the development of Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk and the country as a whole. Mikhail Fedoruk also emphasized that all the main strategic technological projects that the university is implementing within the framework of the Priority 2030 program are somehow related to new technologies and artificial intelligence.

The AI Center employees, in turn, presented a number of projects that are at various stages of readiness. In partnership with Rostelecom, a whole line of video detectors is being developed that monitor various situations that require the intervention of emergency and city services.

Currently, about two dozen such detectors have been created, some of which have already been installed for testing in real conditions at the university campus facilities. In the future, the developers want to move on to creating detectors capable of tracking several specified signs or threats at once in order to optimize the operation of video surveillance systems.

A prototype of an autonomous intelligent assistant for visually impaired and blind patients was also presented, operating on the basis of using large language models and artificial intelligence technologies. This is a joint development with another industrial partner of the AI Center – the Novosibirsk branch of the Federal State Autonomous Institution "NMITs "MNTK "Microsurgery of the Eye" named after Academician S.N. Fedorov" of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.

— The principle of operation of this system is simple: a video camera will “see” instead of a person, the information from which will be sent to a portable computer, which will convert it into text. Then the text description is converted by a voice assistant and sent through headphones directly to the patient, — explained the head of the project at the NSU Center for Information Technologies Alexey Okunev.

Another area of work is related to monitoring atmospheric and noise pollution in municipalities. Here, the partner of the NSU Center for Informatics and Information Technologies is the Novosibirsk company CityAir, which specializes in the production and maintenance of networks and services for monitoring the quality of atmospheric air. Together with the university, the company intends to more widely implement artificial intelligence technologies in its work, thereby increasing the capabilities of the supplied equipment.

The NSU Advanced Engineering School has presented a “digital core” project for oil companies. NSU is the lead organization of a consortium that won a grant of 210 million rubles to develop digital core methods, an innovative tool that will help the Russian oil industry improve the efficiency of extracting hard-to-recover oil and gas reserves. The research will be conducted using the latest synchrotron, the Siberian Ring Photon Source (SKIF), located in the science city of Koltsovo.

— The subject of digital core combines the most advanced methods of mathematical modeling, experimental research techniques and data processing. The unique capabilities of synchrotron radiation will allow us to close these areas, making it possible to instrumentally track the impact of various methods of increasing oil recovery on rock and choose the most optimal scenarios for developing hard-to-recover oil and gas reserves, — commented Sergey Golovin, Director of the Advanced Engineering School of NSU, Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Dmitry Grigorenko highly praised the developments presented to him, while emphasizing that any remarkable results should not remain “a thing in itself,” and it is necessary to move on to their implementation in the real sector of the country’s economy as quickly as possible.

— Such visits by representatives of the country's leadership are very important for us. We get the opportunity to tell the top officials of the state about the results of our work, to understand from their reaction how relevant our developments are and, in case of a positive assessment, to receive support in implementation, which today is one of the most difficult barriers for most developers, — commented on the results of the visit the director of the NSU Center for Information Technologies Alexander Lyulko.

BEIJING, July 22 (Xinhua) — China is willing to continue working with all parties to push for tangible progress in the high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road for common development and a win-win future, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Tuesday.

The diplomat made the remarks at a daily press briefing when asked to comment on a recent report on the Belt and Road Initiative. According to the document, the value of projects under the Belt and Road Initiative in the first six months of this year exceeded the total amount of projects for the whole of 2024, reaching a record high. As some media outlets and experts have noted, China’s growing engagement with countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative stands in stark contrast to the approach of the United States, which imposes high tariffs on trading partners around the world. Many countries see cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative as an opportunity to deepen ties with China.

Guo Jiakun pointed out that the joint construction of the Belt and Road has entered a new phase of high-quality development: from Eurasia to Africa and Latin America, from infrastructure and institutional connectivity to people-to-people connectivity. The fruits of this cooperation have benefited the people of more than 150 countries.

To support this, the official cited some of the results of the Belt and Road demonstration projects. For example, the Jakarta-Bandung high-speed railway has served more than 10 million passengers; the total number of trains dispatched within the China-Europe freight rail service has exceeded 110,000 trips; the new land-sea corridor between China and Latin American countries, linking the port of Chancai in Peru with the port of Shanghai in China, has opened for traffic in both directions; the installed capacity of solar power plants jointly built by China and African countries has exceeded 1.5 GW; “small and beautiful” projects such as the “Lu Ban Workshop” and the “juncao” grass cultivation technology have led many households onto the path to a prosperous life.

Guo Jiakun noted that after more than a decade of development, the joint construction of the Belt and Road, which is based on promoting connectivity, has expanded to a platform for industrial and trade cooperation, helping more countries integrate into international industrial chains and jointly safeguarding the stability and resilience of global supply chains.

According to the diplomat, in carrying out cooperation within the framework of the "Belt and Road", China firmly adheres to the principle of "joint consultation, joint construction and joint use", the concept of openness, greenness and integrity, as well as the pursuit of high-standard, sustainable and human-centered development. At the same time, China strives to promote the modernization of all countries, Guo Jiakun added.

Wellness Boom in China: How Chinese Youth Are Investing in Their Health

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: People's Republic of China in Russian – People's Republic of China in Russian –

BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhua) — Young girls have become the main consumers of health products on Chinese e-commerce platforms. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospitals, "national health products" such as candied sweet rice (also known as babaofan) are widely popular among young people, and various immune-boosting drugs are gradually becoming the "fourth meal" for young people…

Such phenomena are not uncommon in China. More and more young Chinese are paying attention to a healthy lifestyle and forming a new health trend.

In contrast to traditional concepts of maintaining the health of the older generation, young people do not simply “drink more hot water” or “use immunomodulators,” but strive to implement a healthy lifestyle into all aspects of their lives.

Zhang Yongjian, head of the Research Center for the Development and Supervision of Food and Pharmaceutical Industry at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, noted that the rise in education, more convenient access to scientific information in the field of health, as well as the trend towards “rejuvenation” of chronic diseases are forcing more and more young people to monitor their health more closely.

According to the China Institute of Industry Research, the 15-25 year old group of young people is gradually becoming the main consumers in the health care market, and the related methods in this field are also becoming more and more diverse.

Recently, the hashtag “TCM salon beats milk tea outlet in popularity” has been trending on Chinese social media Weibo. In response to the preferences of young people, some TCM pharmacies make special milk tea and sour plum soup, and some also serve them along with medicinal dishes.

The First People's Hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, southwest China, sells special TCM medicinal dishes according to the health maintenance methods of different seasons. "One of the milk teas with turmeric and cinnamon is very popular with young people," said Liu Yan, deputy head of the hospital's clinical dietetics department.

As young people increasingly pay attention to healthy lifestyles, the health care product industry is booming. According to a report by marketing agency iiMedia Research, the health care product market has been growing steadily over the past five years and is expected to reach 423.7 billion yuan (about $59.1 billion) in 2027.

"When consumers buy milk tea, they prefer low-sugar, low-fat products that have ingredients listed on the label," said a worker at a confectionery shop in Changchun, northeast China's Jilin Province, noting that big brands are starting to pay attention to adding healthy ingredients and their products are popular with young people who eat healthily.

In addition, scientific and technological means also help Chinese youth improve their health. For example, with the popularization of intelligent health testing equipment such as smart bracelets, personal health management is simplified and more efficient.

“You’ve been sitting for over 90 minutes!” – the smartwatch of 32-year-old programmer Zhang Yang vibrates, reminding him to get up and move around. After Zhang Yang took a break from work and performed a set of traditional Chinese breathing exercises called “Baduanjin”, the mobile health management app updated his activity in real time.

According to the data, in the first quarter of 2024, shipments of wearable devices in the Chinese market grew by 36.2 percent year on year to 33.67 million units. Some smartwatches have increasingly advanced health monitoring features, including heart rate and blood saturation monitoring.

“Maintaining health is no longer just advice from elders, but a quantitatively measurable aesthetic of daily life,” said Liu Junkang, CEO of Jinaitang Health Management Company.

According to him, there are three key trends in healthy living among young consumers: using data to customize their daily routine, rethinking traditional treatments in a modern way, and prioritizing enjoyable and practical experiences in maintaining good health, which are changing the structure of the industry in the country.
