St. Petersburg, November 11 /Xinhua/ — The Russian experimental PD-8 aircraft engine has logged over 4,000 hours of bench and flight testing, the press service of the Rostec state corporation reported on Tuesday.

The PD-8 bypass turbofan engine was developed at the Rybinsk-based UEC-Saturn plant. Work on the project began in 2019, and aircraft certification testing began in March 2025. Flight tests of the engine are currently underway on the Il-76LL flying testbed and two Superjet 100 aircraft.

According to Alexander Grachev, CEO of the United Engine Corporation, a Rostec subsidiary, the PD-8 has demonstrated reliable operation in all modes. One of the most important tests will be flights in natural icing conditions, planned for Arkhangelsk.

The PD-8 engine, with a thrust of 8 tons, is designed for the Superjet 100 short-haul passenger aircraft and the Be-200 amphibious aircraft. The Superjet 100 is designed to carry 100 passengers, and serial deliveries of the new aircraft are planned to begin in 2026. –0–

Beijing, November 11 (Xinhua) — China calls on the European Union to ensure a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies and to prevent these enterprises from undermining their confidence in investing in Europe, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Tuesday.

The Chinese diplomat made the call at a departmental briefing, commenting at a journalist's request on a report that the European Commission is currently exploring ways to force EU member states to gradually phase out the use of equipment from Chinese companies Huawei Technologies and ZTE Corporation in eurozone telecommunications networks.

Lin Jian noted that Chinese companies conduct their commercial activities in Europe in accordance with the law, provide high-quality goods and services to European residents, and make a positive contribution to the socio-economic development and employment of the population of EU countries.

According to the official representative, forced restrictions or bans on companies' access to the market by administrative means without any legal or factual basis grossly violate market principles and the rules of fair competition.

As Lin Jian pointed out, evidence shows that the dismantling of high-quality and secure equipment from Chinese telecommunications companies in individual countries not only hinders their domestic technological development, but also leads to significant financial losses.

“Transferring trade issues to the security and political realm will hinder technological progress and economic development, benefiting no one,” the diplomat added. –0–

Almaty, November 11 (Xinhua) — A national operator for radioactive waste management will be established in Kazakhstan, Kazinform news agency reported on Tuesday, citing Gumar Sergazin, Deputy Chairman of the Kazakh Atomic Energy Agency.

The national operator will regulate radioactive waste management, including its transportation, processing, and decontamination, and will also be responsible for the design and construction of a radioactive waste disposal facility and ensuring radiation safety there.

G. Sergazin clarified that the working group would determine the exact location of the disposal site. He stated that it is likely that the disposal site will be located at the Semipalatinsk Test Site, half of whose territory—approximately 8,300 square kilometers—is considered a contaminated zone.

To date, approximately 293 million cubic meters of radioactive waste have accumulated in Kazakhstan, 290 million of which are low-level waste. The bulk of this waste comes from the Semipalatinsk test site.

Moscow, November 11 (Xinhua) – Russia has made no statements about its intention to conduct nuclear weapons tests and is awaiting clarification from the United States on its position on the matter. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated this in an interview with Russian media on Tuesday.

"We have not announced that we are conducting nuclear tests. At a meeting of the permanent members of the Security Council, Russian President Vladimir Putin drew attention to a statement by US President Donald Trump, who said that Russia and China have been doing this for a long time, so they should do the same. As you know, we immediately contacted our colleagues and explained to them that there was probably some misunderstanding here. We are awaiting clarification," Lavrov stated.

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the Russian president had ordered that nuclear tests not be conducted or even preparations for them not be made. "The Russian Foreign Ministry and other agencies, including the military and intelligence services, have been instructed to analyze the situation and reach a consensus on the extent to which this situation warrants consideration of the resumption of nuclear testing," he explained.

At the same time, S. Lavrov emphasized that Russia would respond in kind if any nuclear power conducted a nuclear weapons test. "Our principled position was outlined by Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin in 2023, when, answering a relevant question during one of his speeches, he said that if any nuclear power conducted a nuclear weapons test, whether it was a carrier or a subcritical test, Russia would do the same," the Russian diplomat recalled.

Beijing, November 11 (Xinhua) — China calls on the United States to resume cooperation with the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) mechanism of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) as soon as possible, accept oversight from various parties, and actively address human rights violations in the United States itself, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Tuesday.

American representatives reportedly refused to attend the fourth UPR review of the United States, which was scheduled to take place at the UN Human Rights Council, making the process impossible. Last week, the UN Human Rights Council agreed and approved a resolution criticizing the United States for its failure to cooperate with the UPR mechanism.

Asked to comment on the information, Lin Jian said at a regular briefing for journalists that the UPR mechanism is an important mechanism established by a UN General Assembly resolution to strengthen exchanges and cooperation in the field of human rights.

The official representative recalled that UN Member States should participate constructively in the UPR, report on the human rights situation in their countries, and listen to constructive views from various parties.

According to the Chinese diplomat, the United States, on the one hand, compiles so-called annual human rights reports, criticizing the human rights situation in other countries, and on the other hand, refuses to fulfill its own obligations to cooperate with UN human rights bodies.

"Such actions fully expose the fact that the US doesn't genuinely care about human rights, but rather uses UN mechanisms when it suits its interests and rejects them when it doesn't. This is a classic example of double standards," Lin Jian stated.

China hopes to take advantage of the Global Governance Initiative to work with the international community to practice multilateralism, adhere to a people-centered approach, and promote the healthy development of international human rights, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman concluded.
