TOKYO, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) — Okinawa Governor Danny Tamaki said on Monday that the Japanese people are categorically opposed to revising the Three Non-Nuclear Principles and any other steps that run counter to efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons, local media reported.

In response to reports that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is considering revising the Three Non-Nuclear Principles, Tamaki noted that Japan is the only country to have been subjected to atomic bombings, and people will say "no" to such a move.

"Understanding the people's desire to eliminate nuclear weapons is the Prime Minister's responsibility," Tamaki said, adding that he hoped the government would give due consideration to the issue.

Nagasaki Governor Kengo Oishi also voiced his disagreement at a press conference the same day, emphasizing that Takaichi's thoughts on revising the principles were completely unacceptable for a place devastated by the atomic bombing.

The Three Non-Nuclear Principles, which include the renunciation of the possession, production, and importation of nuclear weapons into Japan, were first announced in the Japanese Diet in 1967 by then-Prime Minister Eisaku Sato and were regarded as a national credo. –0–

UN/RAMALLAH, November 18 (Xinhua) — The UN Security Council on Monday adopted a resolution establishing an international stabilization force in Gaza.

The US-drafted Resolution 2803 received the support of 13 Security Council members. Russia, which submitted an alternative draft resolution, abstained, as did China.

The adopted document supports the comprehensive 20-point plan for Gaza presented by US President Donald Trump in September.

The resolution welcomes the establishment of a Peace Council as a “transitional authority” that will determine the framework and coordinate funding for the reconstruction of the enclave “until the Palestinian National Authority has satisfactorily completed its reform program… and is able to reassert control over Gaza in a credible and effective manner.”

That same day, Hamas criticized the resolution for failing to address the political and humanitarian needs of the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip. Hamas accused the document of seeking to impose results that Israel "could not achieve militarily" and to separate Gaza from the rest of the Palestinian territories in a way that undermines Palestinian national rights.

Beijing, November 18 (Xinhua) — Public security agencies across China have equipped active police officers with more than 1.3 million bodycams, which record the entire law enforcement process, the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) announced on Monday.

In recent years, China's public security organs have been actively promoting the implementation of a recording mechanism for the entire law enforcement process, implementing audio-visual recording and digital surveillance at all stages of case handling, from application intake and on-site enforcement to interrogations and surveys.

A system must be established to monitor the entire process of law enforcement and implement retrospective management, said Chen Min, Deputy Director of the MBP's Legislation Bureau, explaining that when officers conduct law enforcement activities on the spot, such as receiving and processing police reports, issuing punishments on the spot, or inspecting crime scenes, they must wear body cameras in accordance with regulations, recording audio and video throughout the process.

In accordance with established regulations, the activities of police officers and relevant personnel in physical law enforcement and case processing centers are also recorded using video surveillance equipment, which covers all corners of the premises and operates 24 hours a day, thereby effectively standardizing law enforcement activities and the case processing process.

Throughout the criminal interrogation process, real-time audiovisual recording is a strict requirement to regulate the activities of police officers and protect the rights of criminal suspects.

“The establishment of a mechanism for recording the entire law enforcement process has played an important role in standardizing law enforcement activities, increasing the efficiency of case processing, and ensuring the legality of police officers in carrying out their duties, as well as in protecting the legitimate rights and interests of citizens,” Chen Min concluded. -0-

SEOUL, November 18 (Xinhua) — South Korean National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik expressed concern over Japan's perception of history.

Commenting on social media on Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's recent statement that the Dokdo Islands are Japanese territory both historically and under international law, the parliamentarian noted that the Japanese government has expanded the so-called "territorial sovereignty exhibition hall" in which it promotes its sovereignty over Dokdo.

Since the hall opened in 2018, South Korea has continuously demanded its closure, but Japan recently added an educational space to it in an apparent attempt to instill misconceptions in future generations, Woo Won-sik said.

“For a future-oriented and stable relationship between /South/ Korea and Japan, three solid foundations are necessary: an open look at the painful history, deepening economic cooperation, and partnering for peace on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia,” he emphasized.

The Speaker of the National Assembly announced that this year, the Republic of Korea will hold its own commemoration ceremony for the Korean victims of forced labor in the gold mines of Sado Island, as Japan did not mention forced labor in its memorial address.

South Korean historians claim that Imperial Japan forced several thousand Koreans to perform hard labor in gold mines that were converted into factories to produce military supplies during World War II, when the Korean Peninsula was under Japanese colonial rule.

Woo Won-sik also expressed concern over Japan's recent moves to revise its so-called Peace Constitution. He called such actions unacceptable not only for South Korea but also for all neighboring countries, as they undermine the foundations of the peaceful order in East Asia, turning Japan into a country capable of war.

South Korea has long protested Japan's renewed territorial claims to the disputed islands located between the two countries, which Seoul calls Dokdo and Tokyo calls Takeshima.

The Republic of Korea regained sovereignty over Dokdo after the liberation of the Korean Peninsula from Japanese colonization in 1945. Since then, Seoul has effectively controlled the islands, where a small police force is stationed.

South Koreans view Tokyo's territorial claims to the islands as a denial of colonial history, as the Dokdo Islands were the first territory forcibly occupied by Japan. –0–

UN, November 18 /Xinhua/ — UN workers began collecting supplies unloaded at the recently reopened Zikim crossing in the northern Gaza Strip over the weekend, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported on Monday.

From Thursday to Sunday, OCHA and its partners collected more than 5,400 tons of humanitarian aid at three open checkpoints, including food, tents, tarpaulins, blankets, mattresses, medicines, and animal feed.

On Wednesday, the agency confirmed that Israel was reopening the Zikim crossing, the only operational point for delivering humanitarian aid into the northern Gaza Strip.

OCHA stated that following heavy rains on Friday, humanitarian teams conducted a rapid assessment of the situation in the affected areas over the weekend and provided initial assistance. Flooding is estimated to have affected more than 13,000 families.

"According to our shelter partners, they helped distribute at least 9,000 tents, 83,000 tarpaulins, and 59,000 blankets over the weekend, with thousands more planned for distribution in the coming days," the office said in a statement. "While we and our partners have responded quickly to the situation in rain-affected areas, our efforts remain limited by the insufficient quantities of shelter materials and other essential supplies authorized for delivery through the UN-coordinated mechanism," OCHA emphasized.

The Office said that with the cold weather and winter fast approaching, it is essential to allow humanitarian organisations to expand their shelter activities to meet a wide range of needs across the Gaza Strip. –0–

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) — The 2025 China-US People's Dialogue opened here on Sunday, with participants emphasizing the important role of people-to-people and cultural exchanges in strengthening stable bilateral relations.

The three-day event, jointly organized by the Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS) at Tsinghua University and the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations (NCUSCR), was designed to provide experts, scholars, and practitioners from both countries with a constructive platform to exchange views, share experiences, and explore practical ways to strengthen mutual understanding and trust at the societal level, according to a press release from CISS at Tsinghua University.

This year's event, themed "Bridging the Cultural and Information Divide," covers a wide range of topics, including higher education, artificial intelligence, pop culture, social media, and the Chinese-American community. More than 30 experts from academia, business, technology, and the cultural sectors are participating.

The dialogue was previously held in New York in 2023 and in Beijing in 2024.

At a press briefing before the start of the dialogue, Tsinghua University Council Vice Chairman Yang Bin said the 2025 dialogue aims to explore new paths and mechanisms for people-to-people exchanges between the two countries, deepen mutual understanding and trust, and promote the formation of rational and constructive public opinion in the United States.

He noted that this year's event featured an innovative "group dialogue" format, building on the experience of the first two dialogues. The format includes plenary discussions, breakout sessions, site visits, and exchanges with international students, allowing for more diverse perspectives, more focused topics, and deeper dialogue outcomes.

Brussels, November 18 (Xinhua) — Driven by a sharp increase in exports in anticipation of higher U.S. tariffs, the European Union's economy maintained growth and will continue to expand at a moderate pace in the near future, according to the European Commission's autumn economic outlook report to 2025, published on Monday.

EU GDP is expected to grow by 1.4 percent in 2025, while the eurozone's growth rate is expected to be 1.3 percent. Economic growth in 2026 is projected at 1.4 percent for the EU and 1.2 percent for the eurozone, slightly below May expectations.

Analysts believe that overall inflation in the eurozone will decline from 2.4 percent in 2024 to 2.1 percent this year. Inflation in the EU is expected to decline from 2.6 percent in 2024 to 2.2 percent in 2027, remaining slightly above the eurozone level.

According to the forecast, due to increased defense spending, the EU budget deficit will increase from 3.1 percent of GDP in 2024 to 3.4 percent in 2027. The debt-to-GDP ratio in the EU will increase from 84.5 percent in 2024 to 85 percent in 2027, and in the eurozone from about 88 percent to 90.4 percent.

The report notes that trade barriers have reached historic highs worldwide, with the EU currently facing higher average tariffs on exports to the US than forecast in the spring. Continued trade policy uncertainty continues to weigh on economic activity, with tariffs and other restrictions potentially constraining EU economic growth more than expected. Any escalation of geopolitical tensions could exacerbate supply shocks, the report notes.

"Given the challenging external environment, the EU must take decisive action to stimulate domestic growth. This means accelerating our work to boost competitiveness, including by simplifying regulations, creating the Single Market, and fostering innovation," said EU Commissioner for the Economy Valdis Dombrovskis. –0–

BEIRUT, November 18 (Xinhua) — Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem in a televised address on Monday accused the United States of deepening the economic crisis in Lebanon and Israel of escalating tensions on the country's southern border.

He said US policy contributed to Lebanon's economic collapse, leading to bank failures, the devaluation of the Lebanese pound, and persistent fuel and electricity shortages.

The Hezbollah leader accused Washington of manipulating local political groups to advance its own interests. He described certain Lebanese elites as "proxy forces" serving foreign interests at the expense of national sovereignty.

N. Qassem also criticized the recent US-backed sanctions against Hezbollah, saying they don't target the group but harm broad segments of the population, including social institutions and charities. "These measures are aimed at putting pressure on the party [Hezbollah], but ultimately they limit aid and services for all citizens," he said.

N. Qassem described recent events in southern Lebanon as "deliberate provocations" by Israel aimed at worsening the country's military, political, and economic situation. He condemned Israel's alleged violations of the Blue Line and accused UNIFIL peacekeepers of failing to prevent them. Any Lebanese who cooperate with Israel is effectively assisting the occupation forces and undermining national independence, N. Qassem emphasized.

Despite a ceasefire agreement reached between Hezbollah and Israel in November 2024, Israel has intensified airstrikes in recent weeks, accusing Lebanon of failing to disarm the group. Hezbollah has repeatedly rejected demands to disarm, stating that it remains committed to resisting Israeli actions and defending Lebanon's territorial integrity.
