BEIJING, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) — As of Dec. 1, the cargo turnover of China's first cross-border automated guided vehicle (AGV) route has exceeded 10 million tons since it began operation, and the total number of AGVs inspected by customs has reached 303,800 units, according to a statement posted on the official website of the General Administration of Customs.

AGVs are used to move goods in manufacturing processes or warehouses. They are equipped with a system that allows them to navigate in space.

The above-mentioned route was put into operation on July 16, 2022 at the Ganqimaodu border crossing /Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, North China/, located on the border of China and Mongolia.

Statistics show that since the beginning of 2025, the volume of freight transported along this route has amounted to more than 3 million tons, or one-ninth of the freight turnover through the Ganqimaodu checkpoint during the same period, and the number of AGVs passing through it has reached 92,000 units.

According to reports, after loading operations in Mongolia are completed, the AGV, guided by magnetic nails buried underground, automatically navigates a dedicated cross-border freight channel, approximately 6 km long. After clearing customs at the Ganqimaodu checkpoint, the AGV proceeds directly to the intelligent surveillance platform for unloading, and then returns.

The carrying capacity of one AGV is 70 tons, and its daily transport capacity is more than 5 times higher than that of a container truck.

The Ganqimaodu checkpoint is a key hub of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor and one of China's border logistics hubs. It facilitates the creation of a convenient overland channel for importing minerals from Mongolia. It accounts for a third of the combined cargo turnover of the 14 border checkpoints in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

HARBIN, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) — Annual production at the Gulong shale oil block of northeast China's Daqing Oilfield has exceeded 1 million tons, Daqing Oilfield Co., Ltd. announced Friday.

Shale oil refers primarily to liquid hydrocarbons contained within shale rock formations and capable of being extracted for processing. Shale oil is crucial for ensuring long-term stable crude oil production in China.

In 2021, a national shale oil production demonstration zone was established at the Daqing field in the Gulong block. Over the past few years, Chinese oil companies have successfully mastered five key technologies for shale oil production.

Daqing Oilfields is a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC). The field played a key role in shaping the country's oil industry. Since its discovery in 1959, it has produced 2.5 billion tons of crude oil, accounting for 36 percent of the total crude oil production from all onshore oil fields in China.

BEIJING, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) — Fei Dongbin, former head of the State Railway Administration of the People's Republic of China, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and dismissed from his civil service for serious violations of party discipline and laws.

Fei Dongbin also held the posts of head of the party group of the leadership of the State Railway and a member of the party group of the leadership of the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China.

This decision was made recently following an investigation conducted by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervisory Committee with the approval of the CPC Central Committee.

It was established that Fei Dongbin had lost his ideals and convictions, had weak political consciousness, and was engaged in opportunism and political maneuvering, according to the investigation's findings.

He obstructed an investigation organized against him and, in violation of the "Eight-Point Rules" adopted by the CPC Central Committee to combat corruption, abused his official position and assisted third parties in conducting business, securing construction contracts, and advancing their careers, for which he received financial and material rewards on an especially large scale. He is also suspected of bribery.

Based on the results of the investigation, it was decided to expel Fei Dongbin from the CPC and dismiss him from public service, as well as confiscate the material and monetary assets he received as a result of violating party discipline and the law, and transfer his case to the prosecutor's office for further investigation. -0-

Phnom Penh, December 5 (Xinhua) — Cambodia views digital technology as a means of rapid modernization, development, and increased added value in the economy and society. This was stated by Permanent Deputy Prime Minister and Cabinet Minister Vongsay Vissoth on Friday, speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Digital Government Forum.

According to him, digital technologies, especially artificial intelligence (AI), have developed rapidly in recent years and permeated all layers of the economy and public life. "This has led to increased efficiency, quality, and productivity in various sectors, as well as significant changes in how we live, work, trade, and communicate with each other," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Technology brings both opportunities and risks, and digitalization has become a defining factor in determining the competitive advantages and even the destinies of nations, institutions, businesses, and individuals, said V. Vissot.

"For Cambodia and developing countries in general, on the one hand, technology can be seen as a means of rapid modernization, development, and increased added value in the economy and society, particularly for improving citizens' living standards," he noted. "On the other hand, if technology adoption is untimely, misdirected, uncompetitive, or fails to meet current needs, the development gap will continue to widen both between countries and between peoples," the Deputy Prime Minister added.

The Cambodian government has focused on increasing investment and refocusing priority activities to accelerate and effectively build a digital ecosystem, as well as address new challenges posed by the rapid development of digital technologies, especially AI, and their use for nefarious purposes such as cybercrime and online fraud.
