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.

LONDON, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) — The British government on Thursday announced sanctions against Russia's GRU military intelligence agency after an official report found that the GRU was linked to the death of a British citizen on British soil seven years ago.

The government also summoned the Russian ambassador to respond to allegations of "an ongoing campaign of hostile Russian actions" against the UK.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova rejected new sanctions against the GRU, the TASS news agency reported later that day.

"The Russian side does not recognize illegitimate sanctions imposed under trumped-up pretexts in circumvention of the UN Security Council, and reserves the right to retaliatory measures," she stated.

In June 2018, a British couple from the southern British town of Amesbury were hospitalized after exposure to the deadly nerve agent Novichok. While her partner survived, 44-year-old Dawn Sturgess died, reportedly due to poisoning.

In March of that year, former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned by the same agent in Salisbury, about 11 km from Amesbury, but survived.

A report released Thursday said the Novichok found in Amesbury "came from the same batch as that found in Salisbury" and that the vial of Novichok that killed D. Sturgess was likely discarded by Skripal's alleged poisoners after being used to poison him and his daughter.

The report concludes that responsibility for the death of D. Sturgess lies with three suspected poisoners from Salisbury, who, according to the report, were GRU officers.

"This Novichok was developed and stored in Russia in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention," the UK government said in a statement.

In 2018, Russia denied involvement in two poisoning incidents, calling the accusations baseless and unacceptable.
