ALMATY, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — More than 40 wind turbines installed in the vast grasslands of Kazakhstan's Akmola region are converting wind energy into clean electricity that is sent through a transmission network stretching over 40 kilometers directly to the country's capital Astana.

The wind power plant, built and operated by a Chinese company, was put into operation in September 2023, becoming the largest in Kazakhstan at that time.

The Akmola project is one example of broader green cooperation between China and its Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) partners, covering areas such as clean energy and environmental protection, new energy vehicles and sustainable transport, as they pursue shared goals of low-carbon growth and a greener future.

TRANSFORMING THE DESERT BACK INTO AN OASIS

Muynak, once a bustling fishing port in northwestern Uzbekistan on the shores of the Aral Sea, is now surrounded by desert. Rusting ships stuck in the sand bear silent witness to the ecological decline.

The Aral Sea, once the world’s fourth-largest inland lake, has shrunk by more than 90 percent since the 1960s due to large-scale irrigation projects and climate change. Its near-disappearance has led to a severe environmental crisis, with water shortages, desertification, and loss of biodiversity. The thriving town of Muynak has become a desert as residents have been forced to abandon it.

To tackle the crisis, experts from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography under the Chinese Academy of Sciences have teamed up with Uzbek partners to explore new ways to restore the ecosystem with the goal of turning the desert back into an oasis.

In Muynak, a 30-acre salt garden was created, planting more than 30 salt-tolerant plant species from China to help restore fragile vegetation around the shrinking lake; solar-powered drip irrigation and integrated water and fertilizer technologies have significantly improved water efficiency, increasing crop yields and farmer incomes. A joint Chinese-Uzbek laboratory now serves as a key platform for environmental research, providing training and technical expertise.

“We are gaining invaluable knowledge from Chinese experts,” said Abdirashit Mirzambetov, head of the laboratory of biotechnology and plant physiology at Uzbekistan’s Aral Sea International Innovation Center. “We look forward to fruitful results that will significantly advance science, technology, and knowledge in Central Asia.”

Like Mirzambetov, Kyrgyz ecologist Anara Sultangazieva said that China's experience in combating desertification and water-saving irrigation could be a game-changer for SCO members.

“These solutions can help improve and protect our ecosystems while achieving low-carbon sustainable development,” she said.

MORE GREEN TRANSPORT FOR EVERYDAY LIFE

Almaty, Kazakhstan's largest city, recently launched a Green Mobility Week campaign to encourage residents to use greener modes of transport.

Chinese-made electric buses attracted great interest during the event.

Nesibeli, a 16-year-old schoolboy who rides them almost every day, called the buses “100 percent eco-friendly” and said: “They are very quiet, have comfortable air conditioning, and make life a lot easier.”

Taxi driver Askhat expressed a similar opinion, noting that his Chinese electric car is “fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly and equipped with a lot of smart technologies.”

In Almaty and many other Central Asian cities, electric vehicles from Chinese brands are becoming part of everyday life, supporting local green transport systems and low-carbon urban development.

In Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, city resident Nurkin is preparing to buy a Chinese electric car. In his opinion, Chinese NEVs are stylish, modern and competitively priced. “Many of my friends want to try them. I hope we will see more of them on the roads,” he shared.

The growing market share of Chinese EVs highlights the high level of trust in Chinese technology and manufacturing. Take Uzbekistan, for example: in 2024, the country imported 24,095 EVs, of which 23,982 were made in China.

China remains committed to its transition to high-quality, green development, in which clean energy and low-carbon technologies play a leading role, said Oleg Deripaska, Russian chairman of the Environmental Council of the Russia-China Committee of Friendship, Peace and Development.

Countries like Russia also hope for deeper exchanges and broader cooperation with China, he added. –0–

CARACAS, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Gil met with UN Resident Coordinator in Venezuela Gianluca Rampolla on Tuesday, expressing concern over recent US military actions in the Caribbean region, such as the deployment of a nuclear submarine, and calling on the UN to take appropriate measures.

“We discussed the threats from the United States that the region, declared a CELAC peace zone in 2014, faces,” he wrote in a post on the social media platform Telegram later that day.

According to I. Gil, Venezuela hopes that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres will provide support “to restore common sense.”

I. Gil rejected US claims that its new deployments in the Caribbean are aimed at combating drug trafficking, noting that Venezuela is “a territory free of illegal crops.”

The guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Erie and the fast nuclear-powered submarine USS Newport News will arrive in the Caribbean early next week, media reported.

In response, the Venezuelan side demanded that Washington immediately stop new deployments in the Caribbean region and also called for guarantees that it will not deploy or threaten to use nuclear weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean region. –0–

BEIJING, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday that China-South Korea relations should not be affected by external factors, calling for joint efforts to promote the development of bilateral ties.

He made this statement at a press conference, commenting at the request of media representatives on the words of South Korean President Lee Jae-myung that South Korea should not continue the policy of “security relying on the United States and the economy relying on China.”

Guo Jiakun noted that healthy, stable and deepening China-ROK relations serve the fundamental interests of the two peoples and are beneficial to peace, stability, development and prosperity in the region and the world. "This is the common consensus of the two countries," he stressed.

The parties are developing their relations based on common interests, which are not directed against third countries and should not be influenced by third-party factors, the Chinese diplomat emphasized.

“China’s policy towards the ROK remains consistent and stable. We hope that the ROK will work together with China to jointly promote the sustainable, healthy and stable development of bilateral strategic cooperation and partnership,” he concluded. -0-

BISHKEK, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — The "Shanghai spirit" on which the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) operates has transformed into a serious, holistic concept of international relations, Sheradil Baktygulov, director of the Kyrgyz Institute of World Politics, said in an interview with Xinhua.

According to him, within the SCO, the voice of a small state is as important and valuable as the voice of a major power. “This is the main achievement of the “Shanghai spirit” and an innovation that has been introduced into international relations in the modern world,” the expert noted. It is clear that China, being one of the largest states in the world, treats the opinions of other states very carefully and with great respect, he added.

Over more than 20 years of development, the SCO has become a large “family” that encompasses 26 countries in Asia, Europe and Africa. Its “circle of friends” is becoming wider and wider, the agency’s interlocutor said.

"There is no bloc thinking in the SCO. There is no country or group of countries in the organization that dominates and dictates its conditions to other countries… These SCO principles are the basis of good-neighborly relations and friendship between countries," emphasized Sh. Baktygulov. This situation attracts more and more countries to the SCO, he believes.

The SCO is an important platform for the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", the political scientist said. As Sh. Baktygulov noted, the Chinese initiative "Belt and Road" fits perfectly into the concept of the organization's activities.

"When we talk about the role of the SCO in implementing the Belt and Road Initiative, we are talking about the fact that the SCO is one of the most authoritative and well-developed structures that coordinate our joint efforts to use the opportunities provided by this initiative. The decisions that are made within the SCO contribute to the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative," he believes.

According to the expert, the SCO is a model for the development of international relations. “The SCO, by its example, shows other countries of the Global South, regional organizations, how to successfully cooperate without pressure and coercion, without aggressive management methods, based on voluntary expression of will,” the political scientist said.

The SCO summit will be held in the Chinese city of Tianjin from August 31 to September 1. Sh. Baktygulov noted that the summit is being held in an expanded format, and its importance stems from the agenda, which is being formed due to global turbulence. “Of course, the decisions of the summit and those that will be announced by the leaders of the SCO member states will be of great importance,” the expert added. –0–

BEIJING, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration is deliberately distorting historical facts about the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression with the sole purpose of making a fuss about its pursuit of "Taiwan independence," Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said at a regular press conference on Wednesday.

In this way, at the request of the media, she commented on a number of erroneous statements by the DPP about the war and the fact that the contribution of the Communist Party of China (CCP) to achieving victory is zero.

According to Zhu Fenglian, the DPP administration's slander and silence about the CPC's role as the central pillar of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is a grave insult to the fallen heroes and a shameless betrayal of the entire Chinese nation.

She added that this completely exposes its insidious separatist designs in futile attempts to distort historical facts, provoke confrontations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and achieve its separatist goals regardless of the means.

Referring to DPP Chairman Lai Qingde, who in his own social media post called August 15 the 80th anniversary of the “end of World War II on the Pacific front” and avoided expressions such as “Japanese aggression” or “China’s victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression,” Zhu Fenglian noted that Lai Qingde’s remarks show that he has completely lost his national position and deliberately ignores the historical fact of the Chinese people’s anti-Japanese war.

From 1931 to 1945, Chinese daughters and sons, including compatriots in Taiwan, at the cost of enormous sacrifices defeated the Japanese militarists, defending state sovereignty and national dignity with their blood and lives, she stressed.

She expressed the hope that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will remember history, honor the memory of fallen heroes, firmly uphold common national interests and preserve the fruits of victory, and resolutely oppose separatist activities seeking “Taiwan independence” and external interference, so as to jointly strive for a bright future of national reunification and national rejuvenation. -0-

BEIJING, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — Calling for China to join nuclear disarmament talks with the United States and Russia is irrational and unrealistic, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said Wednesday.

Guo Jiakun made the statement at a regular departmental press conference, answering a question regarding a report about US President Donald Trump's recent statement that the US and Russia are discussing reducing their nuclear arsenals, and that the American leader hopes for China's participation in this process.

The country with the world's largest nuclear arsenal should earnestly fulfill its special and major obligations on nuclear disarmament, continue to make radical and substantial reductions in its nuclear arsenal, and create conditions for the final realization of complete and comprehensive nuclear disarmament, the Chinese diplomat said.

"China's nuclear capabilities are not at the same level as the United States, and the two countries' nuclear policies and strategic security environments are completely different," Guo Jiakun said.

Noting that China adheres to a no-first-use policy and a nuclear strategy aimed at self-defense, the diplomat said China always keeps its nuclear forces at the minimum level necessary for national security and never engages in an arms race with anyone.

China's nuclear power and nuclear policy are an important contribution to world peace, Guo Jiakun added. -0-

Astana, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) — Kazakhstan exported 12.6 million liters of beer in the first half of this year, a third more than in the same period last year, the Kursiv portal reported on Wednesday, citing data from the First Credit Bureau.

According to the bureau, this figure was the highest for January-June in the last ten years, starting in 2015.

Russia remains the main market for beer sales. Over the six months, 7.5 million liters of the drink were delivered there, which is 24 percent more than a year earlier. The average price of a liter of Kazakh beer exported to the Russian Federation was about 0.7 US dollars, which is almost half the cost of beer imported by Kazakhstan from countries outside the CIS. It is noted that mainly products of domestic factories are sent abroad, not re-exports.

In addition to Russia, an increase in purchases of Kazakh beer has been recorded in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan.

Earlier, Russian media reported on the interest of local companies in new brands from Kazakhstan, including products from Almaty and Kostanay breweries, which have been certified for entry into the Russian market. –0–
