BEIJING, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) — French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday thanked China for the warm welcome it gave him during his three-day state visit.

"Thank you, China, for the warm welcome!" he wrote on social media in both Chinese and English.

In another post published on Friday, Emmanuel Macron thanked China for "an inspiring visit and this warm, friendly welcome," particularly highlighting his time spent in Sichuan Province. He called the Dujiangyan Irrigation System near Chengdu, the provincial capital, "a two-thousand-year-old miracle that harnesses water and irrigates Sichuan."

Beijing, December 7 (Xinhua) — China demands that Japan immediately cease slanderous remarks and discreditable actions and strictly enforce discipline during frontline operations. This was stated on Sunday by People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA) spokesman Wang Xuemeng, commenting on the recent approaches of Japan Air Self-Defense Force aircraft to the waters and airspace east of the Miyako Strait, where carrier-based fighters from the Chinese carrier battle group led by the aircraft carrier Liaoning were conducting routine training flights.

Wang Xuemeng emphasized that the hype raised by the Japanese side is completely at odds with the facts, since the sea area and airspace for conducting training flights were announced by China in advance.

Japan Air Self-Defense Force aircraft have repeatedly approached Chinese naval training areas in an attempt to interfere, which has had a significant negative impact on China's normal training activities and created a serious threat to flight safety, Wang Xuemeng said.

The Chinese Navy will take all necessary measures to protect its security and legitimate rights and interests in accordance with the law, he added. -0-

TEHRAN, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) — Iran supports the Shanghai Cooperation Organization's (SCO) counter-terrorism plans and cooperation efforts, a senior Iranian diplomat said.

Mehrdad Kiai, Director General for SCO and BRICS Affairs at the Iranian Foreign Ministry, made the announcement during a meeting with Ularbek Sharsheyev, Director of the Executive Committee of the SCO's Regional Anti-Terrorism Structure (RATS), on the sidelines of joint anti-terrorism exercises, the ministry said in a statement released on Saturday.

M. Kiai emphasized the central role of the SCO and RATS in Iran’s foreign policy, calling RATS “a window into the future security architecture of the region.”

According to him, Iran's experience in combating terrorism allows its security and military structures to play a "constructive and key" role in the SCO's counter-terrorism activities.

U. Sharsheyev highly praised Iran for holding the five-day Sahand-2025 exercises in East Azerbaijan Province and noted Iran’s “active and influential” participation in RATS events. –0–

BEIJING, December 7 (Xinhua) — China's foreign exchange reserves stood at $3.3464 trillion as of the end of November 2025, up $3 billion, or 0.09 percent, from the level recorded at the end of October this year, according to data released Sunday by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE).

The ministry said the increase in China's foreign exchange reserves in November was due to the combined effects of exchange rate fluctuations and changes in asset prices.

The US dollar index declined last month, while global financial asset prices experienced mixed movements, influenced by factors such as macroeconomic data from major economies and monetary policy expectations.

The Chinese economy continues to demonstrate overall resilience, which helps maintain the country's foreign exchange reserves at a generally stable level, the State Treasury Department stated. -0-

JERUSALEM, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) — The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Saturday that its troops shot dead two Palestinians in the southern West Bank city of Hebron after they drove a car toward soldiers at a checkpoint.

The IDF statement said the soldiers opened fire after a vehicle approached them during "operational activity." According to Israeli public broadcaster Kan, the soldiers were from the 202nd Paratroopers Brigade Battalion; one soldier was slightly wounded.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA presented a different version, reporting that Israeli troops fired at a car carrying Palestinian civilians in the Bab al-Zawiya area of central Hebron and then blocked Palestinian Red Crescent Society ambulances from reaching the scene.

According to Palestinian statistics, the West Bank has seen a sharp escalation of violence since October 7, 2023, leaving around 1,000 Palestinians dead, hundreds injured, and dozens of homes destroyed.

Israel captured the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War. The settlements it built there and its military occupation are considered illegal under international law. –0–
