The CPPCC National Committee hopes to deepen exchanges and mutual learning with the Indonesian People's Commissariat of China to better serve the modernization of each country and the construction of a China-Indonesia community with a shared future, Wang Huning emphasized.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) — The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on Thursday withdrew an earlier earthquake warning near Dayton in the U.S. state of Nevada, saying the notice was sent in error.

Johannesburg, December 4 (Xinhua) — South Africa announced on Thursday that it would temporarily withdraw from the Group of Twenty (G20). Earlier, the United States, which assumed the G20 presidency, confirmed that it would not invite South Africa to participate in the G20 during its presidency.

"We will 'take a break' until we resume normal operations," Vincent Magwenya, spokesman for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, wrote on social media.

"Around this time next year, the UK will assume the G20 Presidency. This will allow us to engage meaningfully and substantively on issues that truly matter to the rest of the world," he noted.

The announcement came after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday that Washington "will not extend an invitation to the South African government to participate in G20 events" during the US presidency.

Relations between South Africa and the United States reached a low point this year after US President Donald Trump repeatedly accused South Africa of so-called "white genocide." These accusations were vigorously denied by South African authorities.

Yerevan, December 4 /Xinhua/ — The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved a loan agreement for Armenia worth approximately $175 million, the Central Bank of Armenia (CB) reported.

The regulator's statement noted that the IMF approved a new 36-month loan to the country under the Stand-By Arrangement for approximately $175 million. These funds will be used to ensure the continuity of reforms and macroeconomic stability, as well as to hedge against external risks.

The IMF report particularly notes the role of the Central Bank of Armenia's new monetary policy in reducing inflation to the target level of 3 percent.

According to the report, Armenia's banking system is assessed as well-capitalized, liquid, and generally resilient, although rising credit risks require regulatory vigilance. Strengthening the supervisory system, expanding macroprudential tools, and regulating stablecoins remain priorities in maintaining financial stability, while broader structural reforms promote sustainable and inclusive growth, the report adds.

Moscow, December 4 /Xinhua/ — Over the past 20 years, China has made significant progress in environmental protection and building an ecological civilization. This is the subject of an article by Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui, published by the Russian newspaper Argumenty i Fakty.

"This year marks the 20th anniversary of Chinese President Xi Jinping's proposal of 'green mountains and emerald waters are treasures,'" the article states. According to Zhang Hanhui, over the past two decades, "China, by combining political planning with systemic measures, has facilitated historic, pivotal, and global changes in ecological and environmental protection, achieved globally recognized success in building an ecological civilization, and successfully blazed a trail of Chinese modernization characterized by the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, fully demonstrating the significant advantages and effectiveness of the 'Chinese governance model.'"

The diplomat recalls that China has become the country with the fastest improvement in air quality in the world. "Blue skies over Beijing" have transformed from a dream into a reality. Furthermore, the fight for clean water has "made steady progress, and the phenomenon of black, stagnant water in urban areas has been largely eliminated." Systematic measures are being taken to improve the environmental conditions of the Yangtze, Yellow River, and other rivers.

As noted in the article, China has managed to curb the trend of accelerated soil degradation using a space-air-ground monitoring system based on seven satellites and 38,880 ground monitoring points. The area of restored land has reached 8 million hectares. China accounts for about a quarter of the global increase in green space.

"In the face of the global challenges of climate change, environmental pollution, and biodiversity loss, China stands ready to work with Russia to implement the important agreements reached by the two heads of state, continue to deepen solidarity and cooperation, implement genuine multilateralism, and promote the formation of a fair and rational global environmental governance system based on cooperation and mutual benefit, so as to make new and greater contributions to the joint construction of a community with a shared future for mankind and the creation of a clean and beautiful world," concludes Chinese Ambassador to the Russian Federation Zhang Hanhui.
