BEIJING, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) — China on Thursday called on the Netherlands to quickly and effectively find an early solution to the issue involving semiconductor maker Nexperia and help restore the security and stability of global semiconductor production and supply chains, Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yongqian said at a press conference on Thursday.

According to her, the source and responsibility for the current disruptions in the global semiconductor supply chain lies with the Dutch side.

He Yongqian noted that China welcomes the Dutch government's decision to suspend its administrative order against Nexperia. This is a first step in the right direction toward a proper resolution of the issue, she added.

However, there is still some way to go before the issue is finally resolved, and China hopes that the Dutch side will continue to show sincerity in cooperation and take practical steps to resolve the issue, the representative of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce emphasized. -0-

BEIJING, November 20 (Xinhua) — A balance between cultural heritage protection and urban renewal has been a key principle in China's efforts to redevelop old residential areas and improve people's well-being, according to an urban planning and sustainable development expert.

Wang Congchun, Vice-Chancellor of Shanghai University and Director of the Shanghai Institute of Urban Revitalization and Sustainable Development, made the remarks during the latest edition of the omnimedia discussion program "China Economic Roundtable" organized by Xinhua News Agency.

He drew attention to the difficulties in implementing such projects in Shanghai, noting that limited space and complex coordination processes place higher demands on grassroots management capabilities and flexibility in implementation.

According to Wang Congchun, Shanghai's model of "adopting rules first, then discussing renovation" could be an experience worth emulating for the rest of the country.

He also noted that, while fully respecting the wishes of residents, the city has gone beyond simply renovating buildings and is actively exploring the historical and cultural significance of its old neighborhoods.

Continuing his thought, the scientist noted that urban renovation should continue to focus on improving the quality of life of their residents, as well as on improving institutional guarantees and strengthening innovation mechanisms. -0-

BEIJING, November 20 (Xinhua) — From January to October 2025, the total value of household appliance exports through the Manzhouli railway port in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region reached 3.31 billion yuan (approximately 467 million U.S. dollars), according to a statement posted on the official website of the Manzhouli municipal government on Thursday.

During the specified period of time, both traditional household electrical appliances, including washing machines and air conditioners, and intelligent household appliances, such as sweeping robots and floor cleaning machines, were exported through the Manzhouli railway checkpoint.

Manzhouli Customs, through mechanisms such as "zeroing out problems encountered by enterprises" and "communication between the head of customs and important enterprises", promptly informs foreign trade enterprises of foreign countries' policies on importing household appliances, so that the household appliances exported by Chinese companies meet the requirements for access to international markets.

At the same time, customs has implemented digital and paperless customs clearance to ensure smooth customs inspection of exported household appliances. It is also continuously improving its coordination and collaboration mechanism with the Railway Department and has implemented a number of measures to simplify procedures, such as pre-registration for customs clearance.

In the future, Manzhouli Customs will focus on better serving home appliance exporters, improving the mechanism for providing targeted assistance to them, continuously enhancing the efficiency of customs inspection, and promoting the growth of Chinese-made home appliance exports. -0-

Beijing, November 20 (Xinhua) — Conditions for holding a trilateral meeting of the culture ministers of China, Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK) are currently not in place, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular ministry press conference on Thursday.

The meeting scheduled for this month will reportedly be postponed.

Mao Ning noted that the Japanese leader had publicly made extremely erroneous statements regarding Taiwan, which had hurt the feelings of the Chinese people, challenged the post-war international order, and undermined the foundation and atmosphere of trilateral cooperation between China, Japan, and the ROK.

This ultimately resulted in the absence of conditions for holding a corresponding meeting of representatives of the three countries, Mao Ning emphasized. -0-

UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) — China's permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong on Wednesday asked the Syrian transitional government to prioritize the fight against terrorism.

Repeated terrorist attacks in Syria demonstrate that terrorism remains a serious challenge to the country's reconstruction, and the presence of foreign terrorist fighters there is of particular concern, Fu Cong noted.

"The Syrian transitional government has promised that Syria will not be a source of threat to any country. We hope that it will fulfill its anti-terrorism obligations by taking effective measures to resolutely combat all international terrorist organizations designated by the UN Security Council, including the East Turkestan Islamic Movement," the Chinese representative stated.

The Security Council adjusted sanctions against Syria to create favorable conditions for its economic recovery and nation-building. For entities and individuals still on the sanctions list, UN Security Council sanctions remain in effect and must be strictly enforced, Fu Cong stated.

He recalled that the Golan Heights are internationally recognized as occupied Syrian territory, and Israel must immediately withdraw its troops from there.

China pursues a policy of friendship towards all Syrian people and respects their independent choice, welcomes Syria's participation in the Belt and Road Initiative, and is willing to strengthen cooperation with Syria within the framework of multilateral mechanisms, Fu Cong said.

The Permanent Representative of the People's Republic of China to the UN noted that China is ready to actively consider the possibility of participating in the economic recovery of Syria and contributing to its social development and improving the standard of living of the population. –0–

Vladivostok, November 20 (Xinhua) — The first Chinese restaurant, "Druzhba," recently opened in the Russian city of Anadyr. It operates on the hot pot principle, allowing guests to cook their own food. This was reported by the Chukotka news agency.

Chinese citizen Wu Shanhua founded the company "Druzhba" in Anadyr in March. The Chinese entrepreneurs are involved in precious metal mining in Chukotka. While exploring the region, they encountered a lack of familiar food and decided to expand their business.

Restaurant chef Tang Cao said that it was cold in Chukotka, so they chose the hot pot format, or, as they say in Russia, a “samovar.”

Restaurant manager Fan Gantao noted that the main challenge was organizing food supplies, which forced them to experiment with the menu. They added Chukchi venison, and plan to use other local products as well. Tofu, Chinese seasonings, and other specialty ingredients are imported from Moscow, where the entrepreneurs also operate a restaurant.

Anadyr is Russia's easternmost city and the administrative center of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. Most of the city's buildings rest on stilts due to permafrost.

Iran will not agree to zero-level uranium enrichment, says Iranian Foreign Minister

Tehran, November 20 (Xinhua) – Iran will not accept any agreement that would lead to zero-level uranium enrichment in the country, as it is considered a "betrayal," Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated.

"We will never agree to zero enrichment (of uranium) because this issue has become a matter of national glory and pride," he said in an interview with Iran's online news agency Khabar published on Wednesday, adding that the country had incurred numerous costs and made many sacrifices to maintain its ability to enrich uranium.

Commenting on Iran's cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), A. Araghchi said that the country cooperated with the agency only with regard to those Iranian nuclear facilities that were not bombed by Israel and the United States in June.

In recent months, the United States, joined by some European countries, has called on Iran to cease uranium enrichment on its soil. Tehran has repeatedly rejected this demand, emphasizing that its right to enrich uranium is non-negotiable.

Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA in June under a parliamentary law, citing the agency's failure to condemn Israeli and US attacks on its nuclear facilities and concerns about the safety of its facilities and scientists.
