JERUSALEM, November 4 (Xinhua) — Israeli forces launched airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, claiming they targeted a militant who approached Israeli forces in the northern Palestinian enclave. The strikes occurred despite a ceasefire in effect since October 10.

The Israeli army said the man who was attacked had crossed the "yellow line" separating areas where Israeli troops are stationed.

"Shortly after identification, the terrorist was eliminated to eliminate the threat," the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement. The statement also noted that Southern Command troops "remain deployed in accordance with the ceasefire agreement and will act against any immediate threat."

Although the ceasefire has led to a significant reduction in Israeli attacks, smaller-scale strikes continue almost daily. According to the Gaza Health Authority, at least 238 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 600 injured in Israeli attacks since October 11. The total number of casualties from Israeli attacks since October 2023 is approaching 70,000.

BEIJING, November 4 (Xinhua) — A China-Russia joint lab on intelligent computing for the digital economy was launched in Xiamen, east China's Fujian Province, on Monday, under the initiative of the China-Russia Research Center for Digital Economy (CRDCDE), chinanews.com.cn reported.

This laboratory, created by the KRCCE, Xiamen University, and Lomonosov Moscow State University, is a significant achievement within the framework of the special plan “International Intergovernmental Scientific and Technological Innovative Cooperation” launched by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China.

The lab's key focus will be the creation of a Sino-Russian platform for cross-media content analysis and data interaction based on trust and transparency. Its core application, the "Sino-Russian Document Assistant," will address issues such as the high cost of multilingual public opinion analysis and barriers to intercultural communication in the cross-border digital economy, as well as support the effective development of cross-border digital businesses.

The Xiamen Bureau of Industry and Information Technology (BDIIT) noted that the establishment of this laboratory fully demonstrates that BRICS cooperation in the digital economy is developing in a more pragmatic and in-depth direction. The pooling of high-quality innovative resources from China and Russia, aimed at developing a chain-based cooperation model encompassing technological research and development, commercialization, and industrial implementation, will serve as a replicable and easily disseminated successful example of scientific, technological, and innovation cooperation among BRICS countries.

As a reminder, the KRCCE is a structure created to develop cooperation between China and Russia in the areas of digital transformation, technology, and innovation. The center provides analytical, consulting, and expert services, facilitating the strengthening of partnerships between Chinese and Russian high-tech organizations.

BEIJING, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) — Hangzhou, capital of East China's Zhejiang Province, known as the "e-commerce capital" of China, opened its first overseas service center in the city of Almalyk in Uzbekistan's Tashkent region to serve businesses entering the overseas market.

The official name of the new institution is the One-Stop Service Center for Hangzhou Enterprises Entering the Foreign (Uzbek) Market. Its main purpose is to provide these enterprises with policy advice on localizing production in Uzbekistan and to establish connections between potential business partners from both countries. The establishment of this center marks a new stage in trade and economic cooperation between China and Uzbekistan, according to the news portal chinanews.com.cn, citing a statement from the Hangzhou Council for the Promotion of International Trade.

Analysts note that Hangzhou's choice of Uzbekistan as its first overseas business service hub is no coincidence. In recent years, the Uzbek market has steadily increased its openness to the outside world, becoming an important springboard for Chinese companies to explore the Eurasian market. The creation of this hub represents an innovative move by the Chinese city to assist companies in their efforts to enter markets in countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.

As it became known, the Hangzhou Council for the Promotion of International Trade also signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Uzbekistan and the Holley Tashkent Industrial and Technopark, which provides for the coordinated development of a comprehensive system of business services, covering, in particular, legislation, taxation, finance, human resources, applications for political preferences and market access. -0-

Beijing, November 4 (Xinhua) — China Energy and Mining Corporation (CHN Energy) has launched a new, highly efficient chemical export corridor to Central Asia, crossing the border through the Baktu Port in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Its launch was symbolized by the recent dispatch of two trucks carrying polyolefin products from the port to Uzbekistan, according to an industry news website run by the National Energy Administration (NEA) on Tuesday.

Prior to the launch of the new export corridor, the chemical company, part of CHN Energy, conducted meticulous preparations across various operational areas since the beginning of this year, ranging from an in-depth study of Uzbek customers' specific product specification and characteristics requirements to optimizing cross-border freight transportation in collaboration with freight forwarding companies. Thanks to this, the new route achieved rapid customs clearance within 10 minutes and a zero-error rate throughout the entire transaction process, according to the website.

As of the end of October 2025, CHN Energy has successfully opened export corridors to Central Asia through five checkpoints, exporting 13 types of polyolefin chemicals, which are widely used in the fields of public welfare and industrial production such as food packaging and household appliances. -0-
