Bucharest, December 16 (Xinhua) — The Romanian Parliament on Monday rejected a motion of no confidence in Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan's government at a joint session of the two chambers.

420 of the 463 parliamentarians attended the meeting, but only 141 voted: 139 for and two against. A minimum of 232 votes were needed to pass the proposal.

The vote of no confidence was initiated by Senator Ninel Peia and supported by legislators from the Peace – Romania First parliamentary group, the Alliance for the Unification of Romanians, and several independent parliamentarians.

They accused I. Bolojan's cabinet of poor management of key sectors, including public finances, healthcare, education, social protection, justice and public administration.

Speaking in parliament during the debate, the prime minister defended his government, stating that Romania risked losing the confidence of financial markets when he took office six months ago. "We avoided this scenario thanks to measures that began to restore economic balance and reduce the deficit," said I. Bolojan, citing increased budget revenues, a reduced deficit compared to last year, and restored investor confidence, reflected in lower borrowing costs.

He also said the government would not raise taxes next year and would focus on improving tax collection, combating tax evasion and attracting European funds.

The Prime Minister criticised the sponsors of the no-confidence motion, saying they were encouraging "chaos and scandal" rather than offering viable solutions.

UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) — China's permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong on Monday called for efforts to safeguard the post-war international order.

At the UN Security Council's open debate on leadership for peace, he said that militarism and fascism had once brought unprecedented catastrophes to humanity. Any erroneous statements or actions aimed at whitewashing or denying the history of aggression challenge human conscience and undermine hard-won peace.

"We must maintain a correct view of the history of World War II, defend the results of victory in World War II, and uphold the post-war international order," the diplomat said. "We must adhere to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, support the sovereign equality of all states, large and small, oppose unilateralism, hegemonism, and power politics, promote the democratization of international relations, and strengthen the representation and voice of developing countries in international affairs," the permanent representative added.

Fu Cong called for a commitment to a political settlement as an effective path to peace. Peace is achieved not by force, but through negotiations; any conflict must be resolved at the negotiating table, he said.

"When resolving conflicts and disputes, we must promote dialogue for peace, encourage consultations and negotiations, and help all parties build mutual trust, resolve differences, and achieve consensus. We must respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries and take into account the legitimate interests of all parties," the diplomat stated.

Major powers, in particular, must play a constructive role, refrain from double standards or imposing their will on others, and especially avoid fueling conflicts for their own narrow interests, he added.

Fu Cong called for efforts to uphold multilateralism and strengthen international cooperation in maintaining peace.

The international system, with the UN at its core, is the foundation of global peace and development. The more uncertain the future becomes, the more urgent is the need to practice genuine multilateralism, uphold the role and authority of the UN, and ensure that the Security Council bears primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, said Fu Cong.

He also stressed the importance of addressing the root causes of conflicts and wars through development. –0–

NANCHANG, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) — When Dewell Group executive D. Denisov opened his contact page on his phone, he quickly received dozens of friend requests from small and medium-sized business owners in China.

This scene recently unfolded in Jiangxi Province (Eastern China), home to Lake Poyang, known as the "Kingdom of White Cranes." More than 98 percent of the world's white cranes winter there, many of which migrate to Jiangxi annually from Siberia.

In December of this year, the 12th roundtable meeting on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in China and Russia was held in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. Over 100 Chinese and Russian SMEs gathered to explore opportunities for cooperation.

SMEs are the foundation of China's economic resilience. China has over 60 million SMEs, which have annually accounted for over 60 percent of GDP, over 70 percent of technological innovation, and over 80 percent of urban employment over the past five years.

In recent years, Chinese-Russian relations have developed at a high level, providing greater opportunities for cooperation between SMEs of the two countries.

Jiangxi Ocean Willy Industrial Co., Ltd., a company from Jiangxi Province, is investing in the construction of a plant to produce environmentally friendly building materials in Russia. The company's deputy general director, Huang Pu, said that he frequently travels to China and Russia for work. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently signed a decree granting temporary visa-free entry to Russia for Chinese citizens, and China previously introduced a visa-free regime for Russians, meaning mutual visa abolition between the two countries and facilitating business travel for SMEs from both countries.

According to Sergei Mironov, Chairman of the A Just Russia party and head of the A Just Russia faction in the Russian State Duma, bilateral trade between Russia and China exceeded $244.8 billion in 2024 and continues to grow. As cooperation deepens, he is confident that settlements in rubles and yuan will become possible in the near future.

After nearly 20 years of development, the China-Russia SME Support Roundtable has gradually become an important platform for promoting high-quality cooperation between SMEs in the two countries. A distinctive practice of rotating provinces and regions of the two countries as hosts has been established, promoting the expansion of practical cooperation between regions and enterprises.

Shenzhen, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) — A premium freight train officially departed from Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, to Moscow as part of the China-Europe international rail freight service. It will cross the border at the Ereenhot checkpoint in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

A train loaded with goods produced in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, worth a total of 20 million yuan (approximately 2.8 million US dollars), including household appliances, clothing, toys, etc., recently departed from the Shenzhen International Integrated Logistics Center to Moscow's Selyatino station.

"The launch of this premium route has brought real benefits to businesses.

This provided strong support to enterprises in the Greater Bay Area, ensuring the stability of international industrial and supply chains.

As of August 18 of this year, the aforementioned Shenzhen hub had handled a total of 878 China-Europe trains in the five years since the launch of such freight services there in 2020. These trains carried more than 85,000 standard container units (TEUs) carrying goods worth over $3 billion. More than 7,000 enterprises have used these services.

Currently, Shenzhen has launched a total of 27 international routes within the China-Europe railway freight transportation system, covering 47 countries and regions, including Russia, Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, and others.
