Beijing, December 13 (Xinhua) — Chinese authorities have issued a mandatory national standard regarding the erasure of information from electronic products. This step is aimed at reducing the risk of data leakage when used devices are circulated, the Office of the Central Cyberspace Commission said in a statement on Saturday.

According to the agency, this standard aims to standardize technical methods for deleting data from electronic devices and guide economic entities involved in the disposal of these products, as well as to create and improve a system of management and technical measures for deleting information in order to prevent data leakage in the used goods market.

The standard will come into force on January 1, 2027.

According to the document, manufacturers will be required to provide consumers with built-in data deletion features. If such features cannot be developed, manufacturers will be required to offer external deletion tools, inform users about available third-party tools, or provide free data deletion services.

Electronics recycling companies will be required to promptly remind users to delete their data before collecting their products. Furthermore, they will be prohibited from accessing or storing user data without consent.

They will also be required to use compliant tools to erase user data, evaluate the effectiveness of the erasure before resale, and ensure that devices with undeleted data are not resold or exported.

Disposal companies will be required to store information removal reports and inspection results for at least 3 years. -0-

NANJING, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) — A civil memorial service was held in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, on Saturday to commemorate the 300,000 people who died in the tragedy as part of the 12th National Remembrance Day for the Nanjing Massacre.

Despite the winter cold, thousands of people dressed in dark clothes with a white flower on their chests gathered in the square in front of the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Museum to participate in the above-mentioned event.

The Chinese national flag was lowered to half-mast for the event's participants, including survivors of the massacre, local students and foreign guests.

At 10:01 a.m., an air raid siren sounded throughout Nanjing, accompanied by the blaring of car horns, traffic stopped, and pedestrians, frozen in their seats, expressed their grief for the dead in silence.

As a reminder, on December 13, 1937, Japanese militarists occupied the city of Nanjing. They then spent six weeks murdering and looting the city, resulting in the deaths of approximately 300,000 unarmed Chinese soldiers and civilians. This episode is considered one of the most barbaric in the history of World War II.

UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) — China's permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong on Friday called on the March 23 Movement (M23) to immediately cease fighting in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The current situation in eastern DRC remains tense, as escalating conflict and violence have led to a serious humanitarian crisis. An immediate end to hostilities is essential, Fu Cong stated in his address to the UN Security Council.

In recent days, M23 has launched a series of offensives and captured key towns like Uvira, leading to a sudden escalation of tensions on the ground. China is deeply concerned by these events and strongly condemns the violence committed by M23, Fu Cong noted.

China calls on the M23 to implement UN Security Council Resolution 2773 and relevant peace agreements, immediately cease hostilities, withdraw troops from Uvira and other towns, and stop expansion to prevent further spread of the conflict, the Chinese official said.

According to him, all parties to the conflict must comply with international humanitarian law, protect civilians, including foreign nationals, and lift all restrictions on access to critical infrastructure and humanitarian aid. The only solution to the conflict, Fu Cong emphasized, is a political settlement.

As a good friend of countries in the region, China remains committed to working with all parties to resolve the conflict and achieve development and stability in eastern DRC, Fu Cong said. –0–

The video provides new evidence of Japanese war crimes in China involving the use of biological weapons.

HARBIN, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) — The exhibition hall at the Japanese Army Unit 731 Crime Evidence Museum in Harbin on Thursday released a 38-minute video in which a former Unit 731 member recounted the atrocities of Japan's infamous germ warfare during World War II.

In this video, former Unit 731 member Tsuruo Nishijima details how the Japanese unit used meteorological data to conduct experiments on the spread of bacteria and frostbite research.

According to the exhibition hall at the Japanese Army Unit 731 Crime Evidence Museum, which was built on the site of Unit 731's former headquarters in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang Province, northeast China, the video was recorded in 1997 by Japanese scientist Fuyuko Nishisato and donated to the museum in 2019.

Jin Shicheng, a researcher at the Unit 731 Crime Evidence Museum, said Tsuruo Nishijima joined Unit 731 in October 1938 and served in the unit's meteorological unit. He explained that this unit was not simply an observation section, but rather a support force, supporting Unit 731 in conducting human experiments in the field, measuring wind direction and speed, as well as other conditions to ensure optimal experimental results.

Tsuruo Nishijima confirmed on video that "a meteorological team was required to be present at every field experiment." He described the "precipitation experiments" conducted by Unit 731, during which aircraft dropped bacterial agents at extremely low altitudes.

At a field experiment site in Anda City, Heilongjiang Province, a Unit 731 aircraft descended to approximately 50 meters above the ground and sprayed a bacterial culture fluid onto "maruta" (Japanese for "logs") – human test subjects tied to wooden logs. Approximately 30 subjects were tested each time, spaced approximately 5 meters apart. After the experiments, the subjects were loaded into sealed trucks and transported back to the unit, where their symptoms and disease progression were monitored over several days.

Tsuruo Nishijima also reported that a Japanese military doctor once died after becoming infected during an experiment after removing his mask, which indirectly proves the extreme virulence of bacterial agents.

The video also revealed details of the meteorological unit's participation in frostbite research experiments. To study wartime needs in cold regions, the invading Japanese army exposed the naked bodies of "Marutu" to temperatures ranging from -20 to -35 degrees Celsius for five to ten minutes and observed their physical reactions.

As the aforementioned museum reports, Nishijima's video, which is a fragment of the narrative from the criminal's point of view, once again reconstructs the criminal chain of Unit 731 and demonstrates once again that the Japanese army's crimes related to the use of biological weapons were systematic and inhumane in nature and were an undeniable historical truth.

The base of Unit 731, a secret Japanese military unit engaged in the research and development of biological and chemical weapons, was established in the Pingfang district of Harbin City and served as the main center of Japanese biological warfare in China and Southeast Asia during World War II.

Historical records indicate that Unit 731 used at least 3,000 people in its human experiments between 1940 and 1945, and more than 300,000 people in China were killed by Japanese biological weapons. -0-

During the event, Russian business representatives also held business negotiations with potential partners from China.

"Chinese people are well-versed in Russian culture, literature, music, history, and geography, and today we'll show you areas that may be less familiar, but are precisely what Russians love to eat and wear," said Russian Ambassador to China Igor Morgulov. "We're essentially opening up a piece of our soul to you, showing you our most intimate side."

According to Veronika Nikishina, General Director of the Russian Export Center, the event is truly unique due to its unusual format. "The goal of our event is to demonstrate that Russia is very diverse, rich in traditions, history, and goods."

V. Nikishina added that over the past two years, the Russian Export Center has held "Made in Russia" festivals and fairs in various regions of China.

“We are very pleased that our export products are finding buyers and long-term business partners in China, allowing us to establish mutually beneficial business relationships and create consumer emotions,” she said. -0-
