BEIJING, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) — Taiwanese authorities' blocking of mainland Chinese access to the popular social media app Xiaohongshu (Rednote) is a typical case of political manipulation with "double standards," Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Wednesday.

At a regular press conference, the spokesperson noted that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration's so-called efforts to "fight fraud" are nothing more than a pretext driven by ulterior motives, and that the real goal is "Taiwan independence."

Condemning the DPP administration for blocking the channels of exchange between the two shores and depriving Taiwanese people, especially the younger generation, of their right to information and freedom to use social media platforms, Zhu Fenglian said such actions have already sparked strong discontent and protest among Taiwanese people, especially the youth.

Xiaohongshu, headquartered in Shanghai, is a popular social media platform among Chinese-speaking communities. Most of its users seek advice on fashion, cosmetics, travel, and other aspects of everyday life.

In Taiwan, the app has more than 3 million users, of which about 70 percent are under 35 years old. -0-

URUMQI, December 17 (Xinhua) — The annual volume of automobile exports through the Karasu port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region will reach 20,000 units for the first time in 2025, according to data from the local border control agency.

The Karasu checkpoint is the only land transport corridor on the border between China and Tajikistan through which commercial vehicle exports have been carried out since 2023. Currently, this checkpoint primarily handles Chinese-made vehicles such as electric vehicles, dump trucks, and engineering and construction equipment, which are then shipped to markets in Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and other countries.

Due to the steady growth in automobile exports, the Karasu checkpoint has implemented a number of measures to simplify procedures and expand throughput capacity, resulting in a reduction in customs and border control time for each export consignment by more than 50 percent.

Khartoum, December 17 (Xinhua) — At least 104 civilians have been killed in drone attacks in Sudan's Kordofan region since December 4, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said on Tuesday.

“In one incident, a drone strike on a kindergarten and hospital in Kalogi (South Kordofan) killed at least 89 civilians, including eight women and 43 children,” he said.

F. Türk expressed alarm over the escalation of hostilities between warring factions in Sudan and called on all parties to the conflict, as well as influential states, to seek an immediate ceasefire and prevent further atrocities.

He also condemned the killing of six UN peacekeepers in drone strikes on Saturday against the UN base in Kadugli, South Kordofan. Attacks on peacekeeping personnel may amount to a war crime, the High Commissioner emphasized.
