This year marks the completion of the 14th Five-Year Program.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China created the world's largest education, social security, and healthcare systems. The results of China's economic development and technological progress are truly translating into a sense of satisfaction and well-being among its people.

The high-speed train from Beijing to Shanghai takes just four hours. Haider al-Rubei, Chairman of the Iraqi-Chinese Friendship Society, shared his impressions of a recent trip to China with journalists: "The trip was very pleasant; I saw China's beautiful landscapes, from cities to villages. I discovered that China's economic development and the improvement of people's lives complement each other. Large-scale infrastructure construction has transformed people's daily lives, allowing them to truly enjoy the benefits of development."

He also noted that the average life expectancy in China has reached 79 years, an achievement driven by the improvement of China's public health system, better medical services, and comprehensive socio-economic development.

"Since 2016, I've been visiting China twice a year and have witnessed its changes and development over the past 10 years," said French international affairs expert Stéphane Parisot. He was particularly impressed by his visit to Chengdu in Sichuan Province. "Chengdu is rapidly developing economically and is renowned for its cuisine and culture. It is becoming an important hub for tourism and communications in China and around the world."

He believes that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China's urban development has achieved great success, especially in improving the environment and enhancing the level of medical care, and public security remains at a high level.

Marcos Pires, Director of the Institute of Economics and International Studies at the University of São Paulo (Brazil), noted that China's investments and reforms in education and healthcare have increased access to education, expanded the healthcare system, and expanded social security coverage, particularly in the area of elderly care. All of this has significantly improved the population's quality of life and, in his words, "laid a solid foundation for social stability and long-term development."

"Chinese high-speed trains have achieved impressive success," said Anongdet Phetkaisong, Deputy General Manager of Laos-China Railway Co., Ltd. He noted that China's high-speed rail network not only improves transport efficiency but also accelerates urbanization, facilitating resource mobility and economic development. "China's logistics industry is highly developed, stimulating the development of e-commerce and other industries," he added, noting that China's experience in developing transport infrastructure serves as a model for other countries.

On December 8, The Times of India published an article headlined, "Amid US tariff farces, China scores trillion-dollar trade victory."

The article notes that trade data released by China show that China's trade surplus has surpassed the $1 trillion mark in the first 11 months of this year.

This is undoubtedly a compelling response to US efforts to curb China's manufacturing potential and growth momentum. This fact demonstrates that China has further cemented its status as a "manufacturing power."

This significant achievement was achieved despite ongoing pressure from US tariff policy. Chinese manufacturers demonstrated remarkable resilience, reducing their dependence on the US market and actively diversifying their sales markets.

According to the latest data, China's exports to the US fell by nearly 29% year-on-year in November 2025, marking the eighth consecutive month of decline. However, China managed to offset the decline in US exports with significant growth in exports to the EU, Southeast Asia, India, and Africa.

The scale of this surplus has stunned economists and policymakers, especially given the ongoing pressure of US tariffs on China. At $1.076 trillion in 2025, China's surplus has surpassed the record of $992 billion set last year under relatively favorable conditions. This underscores the resilience and reach of China's export opportunities in the face of trade tensions and tariff barriers.

China's steadily growing trade surplus is largely due to the restructuring of its export markets. This structural transformation could have a profound impact on the future architecture of global production. Its massive trade surplus has also provided China with significant room for macroeconomic cushioning. China's dominant position in global trade is so significant that even the American media is forced to express admiration.

Beijing, December 22 (Xinhua) — From January to November 2025, trade turnover between Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, southern China, and countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative increased by 24 percent year-on-year to 531.24 billion yuan (approximately 76 billion U.S. dollars), according to data published on the official website of the General Administration of Customs.

During this period, countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative have already become important trading partners of this southern Chinese metropolis, local customs officials noted.

In the first 11 months of this year, more than 40 percent of the company's orders came from these countries.

To help enterprises accelerate their development of overseas markets, Guangzhou Customs actively carries out special activities to promote the facilitation of cross-border trade procedures in accordance with the requirements of enterprises, implementing support measures.

Guangzhou Customs official Yan Fan stated that trade ties between Guangzhou and countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative are continuously deepening. Since 2025, there has been an increase in textile exports from Guangzhou to Belt and Road countries, as well as in agricultural imports from these countries.

As a reminder, in January-November 2025, trade turnover between Guangdong Province and countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative increased by 4.9 percent year-on-year to 3.32 trillion yuan. -0-

ZHENGZHOU, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) — Xinzheng International Airport in Zhengzhou, capital of central China's Henan Province, announced Sunday that its annual cargo and mail handling volume exceeded 1 million tonnes for the first time, following the landing of a Malaysian Raya Airways cargo plane on the same day.

This demonstrates the rapid development of Xinzheng Airport, which aims to become a leading global air cargo hub on the Air Silk Road.

According to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, by the end of 2024, only four airports across the country, including Shanghai Pudong Airport, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, Shenzhen Bao'an Airport and Beijing Capital Airport, will each have achieved annual cargo and mail handling capacity exceeding 1 million tons.

In recent years, Henan Province has been promoting the construction of the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg Air Silk Road as a dual-hub model.

Zhang Mingchao, chairman of Zhongyu Aviation Group, which operates Xinzheng Airport, said the airport will actively replicate and promote the Zhengzhou-Luxembourg dual hub model and deepen cooperation in aviation logistics with other countries, including Malaysia, Ethiopia, and Hungary.

From 2021 to 2025, Xinzheng Airport's cargo and mail throughput grew by an average of 10 percent per year. By the end of 2024, this figure reached 825,000 tons.

Currently, Xinzheng Airport serves 70 cargo routes, linking Zhengzhou with 73 cities in 32 countries. -0-
