BEIJING, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) — The final samples from 26 scientific experiments conducted aboard the Chinese space station, weighing about 46.67 kg, were delivered to Earth on Friday, according to the Space Application Engineering and Technology Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

As part of the ninth transfer of materials from the orbital laboratory, the Shenzhou-21 return capsule delivered to Earth samples obtained during experiments in the fields of space life sciences, materials science, and combustion research.

After landing, the mice participating in the life science experiments were immediately subjected to "field treatment." Researchers will analyze their behavior and key physiological and biochemical parameters to understand the animals' responses to stress and their adaptation mechanisms to spaceflight conditions. The scientists believe these results will provide crucial insights into how the space environment affects living organisms.

Other biological samples, including zebrafish, hornwort, streptomycetes, planarians, and brain organoids, as well as individual samples for materials science and combustion experiments, were delivered to the aforementioned center in Beijing at 12:40 AM on Saturday. After an initial condition check, these samples were handed over to research teams for further study. The remaining samples will be delivered to Beijing aboard the Shenzhou-21 return capsule.

The scientists will then conduct transcriptome sequencing of the extracted cell samples to investigate the changes induced by microgravity, identify key biological mechanisms, and identify potential intervention targets. This work is expected to contribute to the development of new strategies for the prevention and treatment of related diseases.

According to the center, the researchers will study the microstructure, chemical composition, and elemental distribution of returned material samples, such as tungsten-hafnium alloys, soft magnetic materials, and relaxed ferroelectric single crystals.

These analyses will help determine how gravity affects material growth, compositional separation, solidification defects, and overall performance, as well as the performance of materials in space environments.

The results are expected to advance a range of applications, including protective materials for high-efficiency solar cells, high-gain, radiation-hardened optical fibers, and innovative materials processing technologies for lunar infrastructure. These developments will provide important theoretical and technical support for satellite communications and space exploration.

After returning samples from the combustion experiments, including burners, soot collection plates, and lids, scientists will analyze the resulting flame-induced semiconductor nanomaterials, soot samples, and nanocarbon particle formation characteristics, the center said.

The results of this work may contribute to advances in the fields of extraterrestrial flame synthesis of nanomaterials, new energy systems, fire safety in space, and the production of functional nanocarbon. -0-

TOKYO, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) — Chinese Ambassador to Japan Wu Jianghao met with Japanese Vice Foreign Minister Takehiro Funakoshi on Friday to formally protest Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's erroneous remarks about China.

Wu Jianghao said that Sanae Takaichi's outrageous and provocative statements about China's Taiwan during parliamentary debates violated basic common sense, crossed China's red lines, threatened the use of force, and called for war. Moreover, she refused to acknowledge her mistakes, retract her statements, or mitigate the negative consequences. This represents a complete underestimation of the situation and an overestimation of her own strength.

These remarks constitute gross interference in China's internal affairs and violate international law, basic norms governing international relations, the one-China principle and the spirit of the Four Political Documents signed by China and Japan, and seriously undermine the post-war international order and the political foundation of China-Japan relations, Wu Jianghao noted.

China is deeply outraged and will not tolerate this; the country has made stern representations and expressed a strong protest, the ambassador added.

According to him, Taiwan is Chinese Taiwan, and the Taiwan question lies at the heart of China's core interests. The path to resolving the Taiwan question and realizing national reunification is the responsibility of the Chinese people and does not allow for interference by any external forces. National reunification of China must be achieved and will certainly be achieved.

The Sanae Takaichi administration's call for military intervention in the Taiwan Strait is a blatant challenge to China's core interests. It actively encourages Japan to promote China's division and will ultimately lead Japan into a dead end, the ambassador said.

Wu Jianghao emphasized that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, as well as the 80th anniversary of Taiwan's liberation from Japanese occupation. Japan committed countless crimes during its colonial rule in Taiwan. Japanese militarists repeatedly committed aggression under the pretext of a "survival-threatening situation," but ultimately suffered ignominious defeats.

The Chinese diplomat said China is solemnly warning Japan that today's China is no longer the China of the past. If Japan dares to use force to interfere in the Taiwan issue, it will constitute an act of aggression and will only lead to crushing defeat. China urges Japan to reflect deeply on its history, renounce its outrageous statements, and cease provocations and outrageous behavior. Otherwise, it must bear all possible consequences.

HEFEI, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) — A sprawling park in Hefei, capital of east China's Anhui Province, which was converted from a former civilian airport, is quietly testing the future of transportation.

Driverless cars share the road with pedestrians, while delivery drones and electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft buzz overhead.

Hefei's Luogang Park is one of many use cases used by local authorities to test new technologies, products, and business models. The city itself is one of China's emerging innovation hubs.

As early as 2021, Hefei has become a leader in the development and implementation of application scenarios in various fields such as industrial development and urban management.

Local governments play a key role in this process, organizing roadshows and meetings to connect technologies with real-world applications, promoting deeper integration of scientific and industrial innovation, said Gao Zhengrong, an official with the Hefei Municipal Development and Reform Commission.

China strives to achieve high-quality economic development by exploring new application scenarios for new technologies and products, promoting their large-scale industrial application and development, and accelerating the development of emerging industries.

Earlier this month, China released guidelines aimed at “accelerating scenario development, opening up and promoting the large-scale application of new scenarios.”

Scenarios have become key innovation resources, serving as a bridge connecting technology and industry and linking R&D with the market, Li Chunlin, vice chairman of China's National Development and Reform Commission, said at a recent briefing in Beijing.

The guide identifies five priority areas for scenario development, including emerging sectors, new business models, emerging industries, public services, and socially significant industries, and designates 22 areas for scenario development and discovery.

In southern China's Guangdong Province, authorities are leveraging the region's vast market and diverse application scenarios to spur innovation in 20 areas, including advanced manufacturing, marine economy, and low-altitude economy.

Ai Xuefeng, head of the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission, said the provincial government has released 20 lists of supply and demand for scenarios to connect innovators with potential users.

These real-world practices offer more than just technical validation. They also provide a form of verification, testing the feasibility of business models and institutional reforms.

Central government agencies are actively supporting this initiative. The State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council has opened 190 pilot platforms for testing and verification of enterprises under the central government. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is placing particular emphasis on developing application scenarios in sectors such as 5G, artificial intelligence, robotics, and the Industrial Internet.

More and more regions in China are becoming innovation testing hubs. Beijing is promoting the use of smart city technologies, and Anhui Province plans to implement 1,000 quantum information technology application scenarios by 2027.

To remove administrative barriers, earlier this year, 20 cities, including Hefei, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Foshan, formed a Scenario Innovation City Alliance, which aims to promote the widespread adoption of new technologies and products across the country.

Experts say creating real-world test environments on a national scale is crucial to accelerating innovation and ensuring high-quality economic growth.

“Enterprises conducting R&D in real-world conditions will allow them to quickly test and improve new technologies, products, and business models,” said Liu Quanhong, director of the Institute of Industrial and Technological Economics under the National Development and Reform Commission of China, adding that this will become a new engine for China’s high-quality economic growth. -0-

BEIJING/TOKYO, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) — Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's provocative remarks against Taiwan last week continued to draw criticism at home, with China issuing stern warnings over her irresponsible move.

At a Diet session last week, Sanae Takaichi stated that Japan's Self-Defense Forces could exercise their right to collective self-defense if mainland China "uses armed force against Taiwan." Despite significant protests and demurrers from China, she refused to retract her remarks, which implied the possibility of armed intervention in the Taiwan Strait.

Sanae Takaichi's erroneous and dangerous statements have drawn sharp criticism from high-ranking political figures and media outlets in the country.

Speaking on TBS Radio on Thursday, former Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba called Sanae Takaichi's comments "very similar to the claim that Taiwan's emergencies are Japan's emergencies," adding that previous governments have consistently avoided making definitive statements about how the government would respond to specific scenarios regarding the Taiwan issue.

Hiroshi Ogushi of the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP) demanded that Sanae Takaichi retract her remarks, Jiji News Agency reported on Tuesday.

"If a 'survival-threatening situation' is recognized, it will lead to the mobilization of defense forces. This decision is tantamount to entering a war, and previous cabinets have been cautious in making such statements," he said.

House of Representatives member Ichiro Ozawa of the KDP wrote on X on Tuesday that "this has become a real 'existential crisis' that ultimately forces people to make great sacrifices," and "that is why diplomacy and politics must always remain calm."

Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama responded to Sanae Takaichi's erroneous statements on social media on Tuesday, saying Japan should not interfere in China's internal affairs.

On Tuesday, Nikkei newspaper criticized the prime minister for abandoning "strategic ambiguity." Mainichi newspaper wrote in an editorial that Sanae Takaichi's comments demonstrate a lack of awareness of the seriousness of the issue and noted that she must acknowledge that careless statements could become diplomatic flashpoints.

The Yomiuri Shinbun newspaper wrote in an editorial on Thursday that using security policy for political purposes is completely unacceptable, noting that politicians should not play politics with serious issues.

Chinese authorities have expressed strong disagreement and issued clear warnings in response to Sanae Takaichi's erroneous remarks.

Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong summoned Japanese Ambassador to China Kenji Kanasugi on Thursday, making a serious representation on the issue and calling Sanae Takaichi's remarks about Taiwan "extremely wrong and dangerous."

Sun Weidong called on Japan to reflect deeply on its historical crimes and responsibilities, immediately acknowledge and correct its mistakes, withdraw its bad remarks, and not continue down the wrong path.

A spokesman for China's State Council Taiwan Affairs Office reiterated on Friday that the resolution of the Taiwan question is the sole prerogative of the Chinese people and does not allow for interference by any external forces, noting that Japan has committed crimes against the Chinese people in connection with the Taiwan question.
