On December 13, the 12th National Remembrance Day for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre, the Central Archives of China released a package of declassified archives provided by the Russian side, covering the period from May 11, 1939 to December 25, 1950, containing trial transcripts of Unit 731 members, investigation reports on the unit's crimes, and internal official correspondence of the Soviet Union authorities.

On August 19 of this year, the FSB Public Relations Center published declassified documents on its official website about criminal experiments on humans conducted by Unit 731 in China.

"When speaking about World War II, people in Russia often repeat, 'No one is forgotten, nothing is forgotten.' This remains true as long as new generations are reminded of the heroism of those who fought fascism and the crimes of fascists, both European and Asian," said Yuri Tavrovsky, Deputy Chairman of the Russian-Chinese Friendship Society, in a written interview with china.org.cn.

"The publication of new declassified materials about Unit 731 is particularly timely on the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. It will help us better understand the scale of the catastrophe that was being prepared in the Harbin laboratory for the peoples of China, the Soviet Union, Korea, and other countries. Japan's aggression against China and the atrocities committed against the Chinese are crimes against humanity," he emphasized.

"While attending meetings of the Russian Military Historical Society, I've heard more than once about our experts' work on captured Japanese documents. I believe the publication process will continue as the scholarly preparations are completed. These documents, along with publications by Chinese military historians, will undoubtedly further strengthen the understanding of the shared historical destiny of Russia and China," he said.

BEIJING, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) — China's core artificial intelligence (AI) industry is expected to exceed 1.2 trillion yuan (about 170 billion U.S. dollars) by the end of 2025, according to a research institute under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) noted at an industry forum recently held in Beijing that the development of artificial intelligence technology has reached a turning point, accelerating the transition from technical innovation to the creation of real productive forces.

This year, the aforementioned academy noted significant improvements in large-scale artificial intelligence models, with their language capabilities and multimodal understanding capabilities improving by 30 percent and 50 percent, respectively.

The embodied AI sector, which combines large-scale models with robotics, is also growing rapidly, having secured over 40 billion yuan in funding and involving more than 350 companies across the entire industrial chain.

Beyond AI, CAICT also unveiled a roadmap for next-generation connectivity at the event, predicting that China will launch commercial 6G applications around 2030, with large-scale deployment expected by 2035. -0-

Birobidzhan, Russia, December 14, Xinhua — Tourism has become an important part of Russia's Jewish Autonomous Region's cooperation with China, and the recent decision by Russian authorities to waive visas for Chinese citizens will increase tourist flow. Maria Kostyuk, Governor of the Jewish Autonomous Region, stated this in a recent interview with Xinhua.

"I have no doubt that tourist flow will increase because Chinese tourists are very inquisitive. I'm already seeing an increase in the number of people wanting to visit the Jewish Autonomous Region. This is an example not just of cooperation, but of an understanding that we need to develop tourism in the region," she said.

As M. Kostyuk noted, the Jewish Autonomous Region is one of the leading Russian regions in terms of tourist growth. In 2024 alone, the number of tourists increased by 41%, including increased interest from Chinese citizens. "We see that our neighbors are also interested in the Jewish Autonomous Region. But to get them to come here, we understand that we need to show them what they would find interesting," the governor emphasized.

According to her, the Jewish Autonomous Region attracts tourists with its unique natural attractions, distinctive national culture, and diverse program offerings. "For example, we have the Kuldur sanatorium, famous for its healing mineral waters. But there's also industrial tourism. For example, you can visit the Kimkano-Sutarsky Mining and Processing Plant, the Kuldursky Brucite Mine, a graphite deposit, or a cement plant to see the history of industrial development in the Jewish Autonomous Region," the regional governor explained.

Ecotourism is well-developed in the Jewish Autonomous Region. It is home to a large underground karst cave complex and the Bastak State Nature Reserve, where the rare Manchurian crane nests.

Speaking about cultural tourism, M. Kostyuk noted that the Jewish Autonomous Region is an authentic territory, the world's first Jewish state-territorial entity. "When the young Jewish Autonomous Region was formed, everyone came here. The first collective farm with a million-plus employees was here, the first tractor and electricity appeared here. So, there's a very interesting history here, and when tourists from China come, they're specifically interested in the history of Jewish development, and we understand that this topic needs to be developed," the governor shared, noting that work is currently underway to create a museum dedicated to the history of Soviet Birobidzhan.

According to a Xinhua source, the visa-free regime between the countries opens up new opportunities for tourist exchanges and for exploring the cultures and traditions of Russia and China. "Recognizing that tourist flow is currently increasing, we are creating culinary tours so that Chinese tourists can come to the Jewish Autonomous Region and try things they can't in China, so they can truly experience the Jewish Autonomous Region," added M. Kostyuk, emphasizing that everything is being done to ensure that guests experience the most vivid emotions from Russian-Chinese friendship. –0–

Birobidzhan, Russia, December 14, Xinhua — Russia's Jewish Autonomous Region (JAR) sees key opportunities for cooperation with China in transportation and logistics, mining and metallurgy, agriculture, and tourism. JAR Governor Maria Kostyuk stated this in a recent interview with Xinhua.

"Four pillars are very important to us: logistics, of course, tourism, the mining and metallurgy industries (we're currently creating our own metallurgy cluster), and, of course, agriculture," she noted.

As the Governor emphasized, the Jewish Autonomous Region shares a more than 550-kilometer border with China, with four border crossings, including the first international railway bridge, the Tongjiang-Nizhneleninskoye Bridge. The world's largest railway, the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the Chita-Khabarovsk federal highway pass through the region. All this makes the region an important international transport and logistics corridor. "That is, everything passes through us, and not developing logistics centers on our territory would simply be unfair," the Governor noted, adding that developing the bridgehead area is currently a key priority.

Speaking about the development of the mining industry, M. Kostyuk pointed to the Jewish Autonomous Region's wealth of mineral resources. According to her, the Kuldursky Brucite Mine and the Kimkano-Sutarsky Mining and Processing Plant are already collaborating with China, and they plan to further expand this collaboration. "We're not resting on our laurels. We're talking about how we now have virtually the entire periodic table in the Jewish Autonomous Region. We're working to create an entire metallurgical cluster," the Governor of the Jewish Autonomous Region shared her plans, noting the strong interest in the project from Chinese partners.

She also spoke about joint agricultural projects with China. During the Eastern Economic Forum, which took place in Vladivostok in September, the government of the Jewish Autonomous Region and an agricultural company from Dandong, Liaoning Province (northeastern China) signed an agreement to build greenhouses for growing strawberries in the region. Furthermore, Chinese investors plan to open an oil extraction plant in the Jewish Autonomous Region. "They have already registered enterprises in the Jewish Autonomous Region. Today, the Jewish Autonomous Region is an example of joint efforts to attract investment and create joint ventures. This is an example of partnership and a responsible approach," M. Kostyuk emphasized.

According to a Xinhua source, the Jewish Autonomous Region places great emphasis on developing cultural, educational, tourist, and sports exchanges with China, including with the neighboring province of Heilongjiang (northeastern China). "This year marks the 15th anniversary of the cooperation agreement between the Jewish Autonomous Region and Heilongjiang. And for us, this is a source of pride, as many joint activities, particularly humanitarian missions, have been implemented over these years," she said.

M. Kostyuk is confident that the Jewish Autonomous Region's interaction with its Chinese partners will only intensify in the future, as it benefits the peoples of Russia and China. "We have good-neighborly relations, we conduct mutual exchanges, conduct business missions, and we are creating joint industrial enterprises and production facilities. This is such close contact with China. Therefore, speaking about the future, I believe that integration will only strengthen," the Governor of the Jewish Autonomous Region concluded.

Baku, December 14 /Xinhua/ — "What a magnificent performance! I loved every number! This is my first time watching Chinese acrobatics, and I am deeply moved by the artists' skill. Thank you to the Chinese acrobatic troupe for such a miracle," Elnara, a spectator, shared her emotions with a Xinhua correspondent after the Liaocheng City Acrobatic Troupe's performance in Baku, Shandong Province, eastern China.

The Chinese acrobatic troupe gave its first performance on December 13 at the Sea Breeze Circus in Azerbaijan's capital. The 1,000-seat auditorium filled to capacity to see traditional Chinese acrobatics, including lion dances, aerial silk dances, and dragon dances on benches.

In the lion dance, the performers demonstrated virtuoso body control and exceptional coordination, following the rhythm of the music. They embodied the lion with majestic strength and good-natured humor. From the menacing roar and twitching mane to the playful wink, every movement reflected the sophistication of Eastern aesthetics and symbolized a wish for happiness.

In the aerial silk dance, the dancers twirled through the air, displaying power and grace. The acrobats' exquisite skill blended perfectly with the melody of a Chinese song.

"My children and I made a special trip from Mingachevir to Baku. The Chinese artists' performance was breathtaking, especially the aerial silk duet—it was simply incredible and impressive," said Gultekin Magomedova.

The atmosphere in the hall changed when the performers began performing a dragon dance on benches. Everyone in attendance held their breath, fearing that the long dragon, constructed from more than 20 benches, might fall off the acrobat's head.

The performers' calm and composure, as well as their astonishing ability to balance the complex structure on their heads, delighted the audience. When the performance concluded, the hall erupted in prolonged applause.

In 2006, Liaocheng Acrobatic Art was inscribed on China's first Intangible Cultural Heritage List. The Liaocheng Acrobatic Troupe's tour of Azerbaijan will continue until January 11, 2026.

Allahverdi Israfilov, the organizer of the performances and director of the Azerbaijani Circus Sea Breeze, is a former aerialist himself. He worked for a long time in various Chinese circuses and received an award at the China International Circus Festival. According to him, Chinese acrobatic art is evolving with the times and demonstrates a powerful vitality.

This year, he decided to invite a Chinese acrobatic troupe to Azerbaijan to help Azerbaijanis learn more about China. "We were delighted to invite the Chinese circus to our New Year's program to showcase the skills of talented Chinese artists. Today, China is a leader not only in economics and innovation, but also in circus arts," he noted.

A. Israfilov emphasized that against the backdrop of the continuous development of Azerbaijani-Chinese relations, especially within the framework of the Belt and Road initiative, Azerbaijanis' interest in Chinese culture is growing.

"Chinese artists are very friendly and easy to collaborate with. I believe this opens up great prospects for collaboration in the circus industry," added the director of the Azerbaijani circus.
