NEW YORK, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) — High auto tariffs, persistent inflation and a struggling labor market have forced more Americans to reconsider their purchases, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.

"Buyers are buying smaller and used cars, taking out longer car loans, and waiting for good deals," the article says.

At the same time, the US electric vehicle market has experienced a sharp decline, accelerated by the expiration of the $7,500 federal electric vehicle tax credit in September, leading to the loss of hundreds of thousands of potential sales and further pressure on the industry, the article says.

The US administration imposed a 25 percent tariff on imported cars in April and an additional 25 percent tariff on auto parts in May, leading to higher prices for both imported and domestic cars.

Overall U.S. consumer spending continued to decline from early October to mid-November, the Federal Reserve said in its Beige Book report released Wednesday.

The decline reflects a general wariness among Americans, many of whom are pessimistic about job prospects and worried about inflation, leading to pressure to cut spending, according to the University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index released in November. –0–

BEIJING, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) — The volume of freight carried by China-Europe trains passing through Ereenhot Port in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has exceeded 4 million tons since the beginning of this year, up 23.6 percent year-on-year, as of November 25, according to a statement posted on the official website of the Ereenhot City Hall.

According to local customs statistics, this figure reached a record level in the history of the checkpoint for the specified period and was 400 thousand tons higher than the figure recorded for the entire previous year.

The Ereenhot border crossing is a key hub on the central route of international China-Europe rail freight transport. Currently, 74 China-Europe rail routes pass through it, covering cities in more than 10 countries in Asia and Europe. Moreover, the range of goods carried by China-Europe freight trains is becoming increasingly diversified, with over 40 percent of the total freight volume being high-value-added goods, including Chinese-made vehicles, electromechanical equipment, and electronic devices.

Since the beginning of this year, local customs, while continuously optimizing the customs clearance process, have opened a “green corridor” for China-Europe trains, and also implemented the “China-Europe train – cross-border e-commerce” and “China-Europe train – international mail” models to expand the business scope of such trains.

The local customs service is actively working to provide one-stop customs clearance services and 24/7 customs inspection appointments. Building on the coordination mechanism between customs, railway authorities, and enterprises, it has stepped up efforts to improve customs clearance efficiency through the use of intelligent inspection equipment, such as drones and all-weather multifunctional inspection vehicles.

Currently, the Erenhot checkpoint serves an average of 13 China-Europe trains daily. -0-

Beijing, December 1 (Xinhua) — The city of Manzhouli, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on the border with Russia, has begun building a public service platform to develop international road transport between China and Russia, according to a statement posted on the official website of the Manzhouli City Hall.

Manzhouli is the largest land port in China and an important hub for promoting China's opening up to the north.

In recent years, there has been a steady recovery in border trade between China and Russia, leading to a rapid increase in cargo turnover through the Manzhouli Port. However, several factors remain limiting the quality and efficiency of cross-border logistics, including barriers to data exchange, risks of exchange rate volatility, and low transport capacity utilization. The creation of this platform will help address these issues.

The new platform will cost 50 million yuan (approximately $7.1 million) in investment and will be built over two years, from September 2025 to September 2027. It aims to strengthen data security using blockchain technology and ensure the interconnection and shared access of data across areas such as customs clearance, finance, insurance, and transportation capacity. Once launched, the platform will not only provide one-stop services related to customs declarations and multi-currency settlements but also accurately identify the sources of goods transported in the opposite direction to avoid wasted journeys.

The new platform is being developed at the initiative of the Hulunbuir Transportation Bureau and the Manzhouli Transportation and Commerce Bureau. Two Manzhouli companies involved in international supply chain management and freight forwarding services have undertaken the construction.

Changsha, December 1 (Xinhua) — The Zhangjiajie College International Symphony Orchestra, featuring Russian musicians, will perform at the China-Russia Chamber Music Festival, scheduled for early December in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, the Zhangjiajie College Symphony Orchestra, located in Harbin, central China's Hunan Province, announced Monday.

According to a college representative, the orchestra will perform works by renowned world composers, including Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Alexander Borodin, and others, and will also hold master classes for local musicians and music lovers.

The Zhangjiajie College International Symphony Orchestra was founded in July 2019. It currently comprises 35 international musicians from Russia, Uzbekistan, and other countries. It regularly performs in Chinese cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Harbin, Changsha, and elsewhere.

According to the orchestra's director, Lo Yun, since its founding it has actively attracted excellent Russian musicians, whose inclusion has breathed new life into the orchestra.

"Russian music and art are unparalleled anywhere in the world. It's a unique school of its own. Personally, I really enjoy Russian classical music, for example, the works of Russian composers like Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, and so on," he said, adding that the college values the level of music education in Russia highly and therefore places great emphasis on attracting Russian professionals.

Orchestra violinist Tatyana Stroganova noted that at the end of October this year, the orchestra took part in the 24th Shanghai International Arts Festival "Art Sky," held in Shanghai, eastern China. "People from all walks of life attended our performance. They listened to us with pleasure and gave us a standing ovation," she remarked.

Lo Yun explained that in order to create the best working conditions for musicians, the college not only pays them high salaries but also helps with housing and education for their children.

According to him, the orchestra plans to accept five more Russian musicians into its ranks.

As part of the China-Russia Years of Culture, musical exchanges between the two countries continue to strengthen. Various musical ensembles from both countries regularly tour each other. Several research institutes in the music field have been jointly established, and agreements have been signed to establish strategic cooperation.

In March of this year, the China-Russia Music Culture Research Center was founded at the China Conservatory of Music in Beijing. In September, the Changsha Philharmonic and the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory agreed to establish strategic cooperation.

Moscow, December 1 (Xinhua) — Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree allowing Chinese citizens to enter Russia visa-free for tourism and business trips of up to 30 days, based on the principle of reciprocity, until September 14, 2026.

"It is established that, until September 14, 2026 inclusive, taking into account the principle of reciprocity, citizens of the People's Republic of China have the right to enter the Russian Federation and stay in the Russian Federation for no more than 30 days on a guest or business visit, as tourists, to participate in scientific, cultural, socio-political, economic, and sporting events, as well as to transit through the territory of the Russian Federation and exit the Russian Federation without a visa, using a regular passport of a citizen of the People's Republic of China," the document states.

However, this measure does not apply to Chinese citizens entering Russia to work, live, or study.

As a reminder, China previously made a similar decision: to introduce a trial visa-free regime for Russian citizens holding regular passports from September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2026. According to the decision, Russian citizens holding valid passports can visit China under the visa-free regime for business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, exchanging visits, and transit. However, their visa-free stay in China cannot exceed 30 days.

Beijing, December 1 (Xinhua) — On Sunday, China delivered the country's first offshore platform designed to recover rockets using a networked system. The new technology is a key element of the country's reusable rocket launch infrastructure.

The platform, named "Linghanzhe" (Pioneer), has been certified by the China Classification Society, becoming the country's first offshore missile recovery platform to receive the necessary class and official certifications.

In August of this year, the Stellar Return rocket recovery vessel, built by i-Space, was launched. The vessel, with a landing deck measuring over 40 by 60 meters, is designed to return the first stage of i-Space's Shuangquxian-3 (SQX-3) reusable rocket, which flies on liquid oxygen and methane.

That same month, China's new-generation manned launch vehicle, the Long March-10, successfully completed its first test fire. The model comes in two configurations: the Long March-10 and the reusable two-stage Long March-10A.

China is actively developing reusable launch vehicle technologies. In June, LandSpace successfully completed ground tests of the first-stage propulsion system of its Zhuque-3 reusable rocket.

To date, several Chinese rocket makers have completed basic vertical takeoff and landing tests. -0-

Caracas, December 1 (Xinhua) — US military threats in the Caribbean could impact the stability of the global energy market, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro warned in a letter to OPEC Secretary-General Haitham al-Ghaith.

US President Donald Trump has launched a "campaign of harassment and threats" against Venezuela since August, N. Maduro noted.

He said the deployment of more than 14 US warships and 15,000 military personnel in the Caribbean Sea creates an atmosphere of tension that could undermine regional security and impact energy supplies.

The President condemned the US attempt to seize Venezuela's crude oil reserves, warning that it poses a direct risk to the balance of the global market.

Venezuela will firmly defend its energy resources and will not succumb to external pressure, N. Maduro noted, adding that in the past, military interventions in oil-producing countries led to instability and negative consequences for both consumers and exporters. –0–
