BEIJING, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) — A container truck loaded with postal parcels left the Erenhot Cross-Border E-Commerce Cargo Control Center in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Dec. 14, marking the official opening of a special road freight route linking China and Russia via Mongolia by China Post, according to a statement posted on the Erenhot City Hall's official website.

Ereenhot is a key border city linking northern China with Mongolia and southern Russia. The route begins in Ereenhot and ends in the Russian city of Novosibirsk. Its launch marks a new breakthrough in the development of cross-border logistics channels between China, Mongolia, and Russia.

This land logistics channel was reportedly opened by China Post amid the convergence of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union, and is designed to meet the growing logistics needs of rapidly expanding trade between China and Russia. It is designed to deliver light and small shipments to Russia as part of cross-border e-commerce. Its opening is also seen as a practical step toward integrating Ereenhot's postal service into the construction of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor and will facilitate the development of a comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zone in the city.

In the future, the Ereenhot Postal Service will continue to optimize the operation of the above-mentioned route and improve service levels throughout the entire chain, deepen cooperation with logistics companies in China, Mongolia, and Russia, and further promote the construction of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor and the high-quality development of Chinese-Russian and Chinese-Mongolian trade.

BEIJING, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) — Right-wing forces in Japan are habitual fabricators of false narratives, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday.

At a regular press briefing, he was asked to comment on the assertion by some Japanese that Japan is a “peace-loving” country and that China’s accusations against Japan are “not true.”

Japanese right-wing forces describe the war of aggression against their Asian neighbors as “the liberation of Asia,” present the monstrous massacre in Nanjing as the “Nanjing Incident,” the notorious “Unit 731” as an “organization specializing in hygiene research,” and the forced recruitment of workers and “comfort women” as their own desire, summarized Guo Jiakun. -0-

Recently, foreign financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley have expressed optimism about the growth prospects of the Chinese economy.

Globally, China remains a stable and reliable driver of global economic growth. In the first three quarters of this year, China's GDP grew 5.2% year-on-year, and its full-year economic output is expected to reach approximately 140 trillion yuan, cementing its status as the world's second-largest economy.

Fajar Hilawan, a senior research fellow at the Indonesian Institute of Business and Economics, believes that the resilience of the Chinese economy is reflected in stable growth and a healthy economic structure. With increased policy support and continued progress toward building a unified national market, China's sustainable and stable economic growth is gaining momentum.

At present, productive forces of new quality are becoming an important support for promoting high-quality development.

China has achieved significant results in key areas such as digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and green industries. A thriving innovation ecosystem facilitates the emergence and transformation of a growing number of new scientific and technological advances, making China one of the fastest-growing innovation economies in recent years.

The proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan offer a promising development plan for key areas such as high-tech devices, advanced materials, biomanufacturing, and others. "Innovation power" will become the key force for transforming the development model, optimizing the economic structure, and changing the growth engines of the Chinese economy.

Spanish economist Pedro Barragán believes that the Chinese economy is entering a mature stage and is striving to transition to a human-centered, balanced, innovative, and green growth model.

China has consistently adhered to openness and mutually beneficial cooperation, steadily expanding institutional openness, and promoting the development of other countries through its own high-quality progress.

The new development model being formed by China is not a closed internal single-loop system, but an open, mutually facilitating internal and international dual circulation.

The 22 pilot free trade zones are actively operating in line with high-level international economic and trade standards, the "negative list" for foreign capital entry continues to be shortened, and the number of free trade agreements and trading partners is constantly increasing, clearly demonstrating China's firm determination to actively expand its proactive opening-up.

Foreign companies such as Dow and AstraZeneca are expanding their presence in China through trade, investment, factory building, and joint research and development, demonstrating the powerful magnetic force of the Chinese market and institutional environment.

On November 25, Paula Gulin, a Brazilian tourism industry worker, published an article on the website Gazeta, sharing her impressions of her trip to China. She wrote:

Over the course of several weeks, I visited many cities in China. This trip profoundly changed me. I saw a China I'd never read about in travel guides: calm and elegant.

The clean, tidy cities and hospitable people pleasantly surprised me. I used to think I knew a thing or two about China, but now I have a whole new understanding. In Xi'an, the terracotta warriors and horses, as well as the starting point of the Silk Road, revealed China's profound ancient culture. These moments, connected to the past, inspire great respect in me.

Modern transportation infrastructure, comfortable high-speed trains, and countless skyscrapers showcase a futuristic China. Traveling through China allows you to simultaneously explore its past and future.

A tour of Beijing's hutongs is like a fascinating history lesson, like opening a living book about China.

Surrounded by rice fields, Longji Village in Guilin is tranquil and natural, connecting me with nature.

As for the world-famous Great Wall of China, I not only climbed it, but also practiced tai chi there. Those slow and precise movements are still etched in my memory. It was a spiritual experience.

At the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Base, I was fortunate to spend a day with researchers preparing food for the pandas and studying their habits.

Since June 1 of this year, China has introduced a pilot visa-free policy for holders of ordinary Brazilian passports, making China a more convenient destination. A trip to China is an unforgettable experience.

BEIJING, December 17 (Xinhua) — From January to November 2025, 4,377 China-Europe international freight trains passed through Manzhouli Port in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, carrying 457,000 TEUs of cargo. These figures increased by 8.4 percent and 6.2 percent year-on-year, respectively, the Neimenggu Ribao daily reported on Wednesday.

During the specified period, the number of China-Europe trains entering China through the Manzhouli checkpoint was 2,705, while they transported 191 thousand TEU of cargo.

As an important hub on the eastern route of China-Europe international railway freight transportation, Manzhouli Port has been serving China-Europe freight trains for 12 years, improving the international logistics network and expanding trade exchanges, as well as giving new impetus to promoting Inner Mongolia's high-level opening-up to the outside world and the high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative.

In recent years, Manzhouli Port has become more efficient in handling foreign trade enterprises thanks to the continuous improvement of customs clearance efficiency.

It is reported that local customs, through mechanisms such as information sharing, emergency response, comprehensive analysis and reporting, are making active efforts to build an intelligent monitoring platform for cargo flows through railway checkpoints, facilitating the smooth customs clearance of China-Europe trains. -0-

Beijing, December 17 (Xinhua) — Following the launch of independent customs operations throughout Hainan Province on Thursday, the southern Chinese island is poised to develop a more diversified, high-quality economic structure, according to Chinese economist Huang Hanquan.

Huang Hanquan, director of the Institute of Macroeconomic Research under the National Development and Reform Commission of China, made the comment during the latest edition of the all-media discussion program "China Economic Roundtable" organized by Xinhua News Agency.

He noted that the share of tariff items covered by the zero customs duty regime at the Hainan Free Trade Port (HFTP) will increase to approximately 70 percent, and streamlined rules will allow for the application of the duty-free regime for the processing of value-added goods.

According to Huang Hanquan, these measures are expected to significantly reduce operating costs in industries such as pharmaceuticals and high-tech manufacturing, stimulate the creation of industrial clusters and accelerate the development of new sectors including offshore wind power and commercial aerospace.

Meanwhile, the expansion of the product category under duty-free shopping for travellers and improved purchasing policies for island residents are expected to further stimulate local consumption, he added.

Favorable tax policies are also central to the new economic landscape of the CPST. "Preferential income tax rates will attract more companies and skilled workers, creating higher-quality jobs, thereby creating a virtuous cycle in which industry, talent, and the economy mutually reinforce each other," added Huang Hanquan.

In his opinion, beyond the island itself, the launch of independent customs operations throughout Hainan is expected to change the structure of regional development by removing barriers to the flow of goods, capital, and other factors of production. "This will facilitate the formation of a coordinated production and logistics infrastructure between Hainan and neighboring regions."

At the national level, he called the move an important stage in China's transition from a model of openness focused on the flow of goods and other factors of production to a model focused on institutional openness.

Hainan is expected to align with high-standard international trade and economic rules in areas such as cross-border data flows and intellectual property protection, Huang Hanquan said, adding that the accumulated successful institutional innovations can be spread throughout the country.

“Launched against a backdrop of growing protectionism and resistance to globalization, independent customs operations could provide international investors with a more stable and predictable institutional environment,” the expert concluded. -0-
