TEHRAN, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Monday that the United States has become the "biggest threat" to international peace and security due to its current behavior toward other countries.

Speaking at a weekly press conference here, the diplomat criticised the administration of US President Donald Trump for hostile actions against states such as Venezuela and support for Israeli operations in West Asia.

"In all parts of the world, we see actions based on threats and naked force from the United States. In the Western Hemisphere, US officials frequently repeat threats against Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and even Brazil and Mexico," he said.

E. Bagai also criticized the US statement that Venezuelan airspace should be considered closed, calling it an “unprecedented step” that violates international standards and regulations, including those governing aviation safety.

As another example of Washington's hostile approach, the diplomat cited D. Trump's threats against African countries, including his words about preventing South Africa from participating in the G20 summit next year.

“Total” American support for Israel’s actions in West Asia has effectively made the United States complicit in Israel’s “genocide and violation of the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries in the region,” added E. Bagai.

He also criticized the United States for imposing new immigration restrictions on citizens of some countries, saying the policy reflected the "racism" of the American government.

D. Trump announced Thursday his intention to permanently halt immigration from what he called "Third World countries" and threatened to reverse immigration decisions made under his predecessor, Joseph Biden. –0–

Beijing, December 2 (Xinhua) — The China-Central Asia International Technology Transfer Center, located in Urumqi, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR, northwest China), recently received official approval to operate, Urumqi Radio and Television reported.

This step means that Xinjiang is now capable of exporting and importing technology. This institution is aimed not only at Central Asian countries, but also at other countries such as Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia, and Belarus.

Currently, this center provides services to Chinese and foreign enterprises on international technology transfer and technological advancement transformation, conducting international scientific and technological exchanges, creating a platform for technology import and export, training international technology transfer managers and incubating relevant organizations.

The center stated that by 2030, it aims to establish at least eight technology transfer hubs in relation to Central Asian countries and countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, participate in the joint training of over 100 international technology transfer managers, and organize international scientific and technical exchanges.

Earlier this year, the center successfully completed its first pilot technology export.

Headquartered in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, this center has branches in six regions across the country. It has established a regular cooperation mechanism with five other similar centers and signed business cooperation agreements with 18 relevant institutions across the country.

BEIJING, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) — The first 62-car stretch freight train departed Monday from the Hohhot Comprehensive Bonded Zone (CBZ) in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to Elektrougli, Russia, as part of the China-Europe international railway freight transport project, marking the entry of the Hohhot-Russia logistics corridor into a new phase of "capacity expansion and efficiency improvement."

This expanded freight train exceeded the standard 55-car configuration previously adopted for China-Russia and China-Europe trains, according to a report published on the Zhongguo Xinwenshe news agency website. The train will cross the border at the Ereenhot checkpoint, travel through Mongolia, and ultimately arrive in Elektrougli.

Dong Yanchun, head of the administrative committee of the aforementioned KBZ, noted that the use of the extended train eliminates the need for regrouping trains at the Ereenhot checkpoint, simplifies border regrouping at the Mongolian Zamyn-Uud checkpoint, and ensures seamless connections with standard 62-car trains abroad. Compared to traditional transportation, cargo delivery time will be reduced by at least five days.

“This will not only improve operational efficiency, but also reduce logistics costs for exporting companies, thereby creating a highly efficient logistics artery for entering the international market for products from local specific industries,” she said. -0-

Damascus, December 2 (Xinhua) — Israeli forces on Monday launched a new ground incursion into the countryside of Syria's Quneitra province amid heightened military activity near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Syrian state media.

According to the monitoring center, an Israeli patrol consisting of two military vehicles and a convoy including three tanks and two armored personnel carriers, supported by drones and armored vehicles, penetrated several areas in central Quneitra.

Later, Syrian state television channel Al-Ikhbariya reported that Israeli forces shelled residential buildings in the village of Abu Qubais in southern Quneitra, but no casualties were reported.

The incursion followed a deadly Israeli operation in the town of Beit Jann in Damascus province on Friday, which Syrian authorities said killed 13 people, including women and children, and wounded more than 24.

Earlier on Monday, a delegation of Arab diplomats led by Syrian Foreign Minister's Assistant for Arab Affairs Mohammed Taha al-Ahmed visited Beit Jann to offer condolences and inspect the damage.

Syria has repeatedly condemned Israel's military actions as a violation of its sovereignty and a threat to regional stability.

Ankara, December 2 (Xinhua) — Ankara "in no way" justifies the recent attacks on commercial tankers off Turkey's Black Sea coast and has issued warnings to all relevant parties, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday.

The attacks in Turkey's exclusive economic zone indicate an "alarming escalation" in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict that "clearly threatens the safety of navigation in the Black Sea," he said after a cabinet meeting.

Ankara is monitoring the "recent momentum towards ending the war" and is "ready to make the necessary contribution" to efforts aimed at achieving a settlement, the president added.

According to Turkish authorities, unmanned boats attacked the empty oil tanker Virat on Friday. Another empty tanker, Kairos, en route to Russia, caught fire later that day after an explosion off the Turkish coast. Turkish authorities stated that the explosion on the Kairos was caused by an "external factor." On Saturday morning, the Virat was attacked a second time in the Black Sea, sustaining minor damage.

On Sunday, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the two tankers in question were sailing under the Gambian flag, bound for the Russian port of Novorossiysk, which was also attacked on Saturday. The Foreign Ministry reported that Ukrainian security services claimed responsibility for the attacks.

China's Permanent Representative to the UN sent a letter to Antonio Guterres refuting Japan's unfounded statements.

UN, December 2 (Xinhua) — China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Fu Cong, sent a letter Monday to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, strongly rejecting recent statements by Japan's Permanent Representative to the UN and clarifying China's position. The letter will be circulated as an official document of the General Assembly.

According to him, the current tensions are caused by provocative statements made in Parliament by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, who said that "unforeseen circumstances in Taiwan" could pose a "threat to the survival" of Japan, hinting at the possibility of military intervention. The Chinese diplomat criticized these statements as challenging the results of World War II and violating the UN Charter.

He questioned Japan's so-called "consistent position" on Taiwan, emphasizing that China has repeatedly requested clarification. The Permanent Representative stated that international agreements, including the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Declaration, the Instrument of Surrender of Japan, and the 1972 China-Japan Joint Communique, establish Taiwan as part of China.

Japan claims to adhere to a "passive defense strategy," but Sanae Takaichi's statements contradict this position, implying the possibility of using force against China, Fu Cong noted. He noted the constant changes in Japan's defense policy, the growing defense budget, the shift toward exporting lethal weapons, and the potential revision of the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles," calling them evidence of the country's departure from a purely defensive approach.

Fu Cong emphasized that Sanae Takaichi's statements undermine trust and bilateral relations. He called on Japan to reaffirm its commitment to the one-China principle, fulfill its political obligations, and withdraw its statements, warning of consequences for failure to do so.
