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–

Caracas, Dec. 6 (Xinhua) — Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed global geopolitics and troop deployments in the Caribbean by phone on Saturday.

During the phone call, the Turkish president “expressed deep concern about the threats Venezuela has recently faced, in particular the deployment of military forces and various actions aimed at undermining peace and security in the Caribbean,” Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Gil said in a statement.

The leaders of both countries exchanged views on global geopolitics and recent international events affecting the stability and future of humanity, the statement said.

N. Maduro stated that military maneuvers in the Caribbean constitute an “illegal, disproportionate, unnecessary and even excessive” act of aggression, adding that Venezuela will continue its efforts to ensure peace.

Speaking about bilateral cooperation, the Venezuelan President stated that Caracas is ready to move forward with Ankara to achieve the goal of $3 billion in trade turnover.

According to the statement, both sides also agreed on the importance of restoring direct flights between Caracas and Istanbul to facilitate travel for “thousands of tourists and investors.”

In late November, Turkish Airlines suspended flights to Venezuela following a warning from the US Federal Aviation Administration calling for “extreme caution” when flying over Venezuela and the southern Caribbean.

N. Maduro also invited R. T. Erdogan to visit Venezuela in 2026 to participate in the fifth meeting of the Joint Cooperation Commission. –0–
