Gyeongju, South Korea, November 1 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Saturday that economies in the Asia-Pacific region should strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation, effectively seize new opportunities, confront new challenges, and jointly build a sustainable and bright future.

Xi Jinping made the statement in his speech titled “Building a Sustainable and Bright Future Together” at the second session of the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting.

Currently, a new wave of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening, opening up new horizons for humanity, Xi Jinping noted.

On the other hand, the world faces weak economic growth and a widening global development gap, while challenges such as climate change, food and energy security are worsening, he said.

Xi Jinping put forward a three-point proposal.

First, he called on Asia-Pacific countries to further unlock the potential of digital and intellectual development in order to give the Asia-Pacific region a new impetus for innovative development.

According to Xi Jinping, economies should make full use of new technologies to expand their capabilities and advance, seize the opportunities of digital, intelligent and green development, and accelerate the creation and development of new-quality productive forces.

He called for efforts to promote the secure and orderly flow of data, deepen collaboration on open-source technologies, and create an open, competitive ecosystem for innovation.

According to him, the economies of the Asia-Pacific region must care for the well-being of all humanity and promote the rational and orderly development of artificial intelligence (AI), while ensuring its usefulness, safety and fairness.

China proposed the establishment of a World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization to provide public goods in the field of AI to the international community, he said, adding that China is ready to work with all APEC members to improve AI literacy and bridge the digital and artificial intelligence divide in the Asia-Pacific region.

Secondly, Xi Jinping called on Asia-Pacific countries to maintain their commitment to green and low-carbon development in order to create a new paradigm for sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region.

According to the Chinese leader, the economies of the Asia-Pacific region should remember their responsibility to future generations, strengthen the synergy between the green development strategies of all economies, promote the free flow of high-quality green technologies and products, accelerate the transition to a green and low-carbon economy, and vigorously combat climate change.

Xi Jinping noted that since announcing the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, China has built the world's largest and fastest-growing renewable energy system.

China also presented its national proposals for responding to climate change through 2035 and will implement a dual-control system for the volume and intensity of carbon dioxide emissions across the board, he said.

Third, Xi Jinping called for building an inclusive and win-win future to inject new dynamism into inclusive growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

He called on Asia-Pacific economies to always put people first and strengthen policy communication, experience sharing and results-oriented cooperation to fully implement the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, jointly end poverty and promote shared prosperity for all people in Asia-Pacific.

Xi Jinping said Asia-Pacific economies should make full use of APEC's traditional strengths in economic and technical cooperation to promote balanced growth among developing economies.

China will more actively improve the system that provides a full lifecycle of services for all Chinese people and promote the high-quality development of the population, the Chinese leader noted.

China will also promote initiatives to introduce artificial intelligence into healthcare and improve women's digital literacy and skills so that the entire Asia-Pacific region can benefit from APEC cooperation, he added.

UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) — The United Nations and its humanitarian partners have collected more than 24,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid at crossing points in the Gaza Strip since the ceasefire agreement came into force on October 10, a UN spokesman said on Friday, citing UN Mechanism 2720.

“More people in need have also been able to access this assistance, which includes food, medicine and medical supplies, nutritional supplements and shelter materials, thanks to the resumption of distribution and services at the community and household levels,” said Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, at a daily briefing.

Furthermore, he said, the number of interceptions or looting of supplies collected by the UN and its partners at Gaza crossings has significantly decreased. He added that between October 10 and 28, only 5 percent of collected supplies were reportedly intercepted, compared to approximately 80 percent between May 19 and October 9.

S. Dujarric said the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) expects the number of intercepted shipments to continue to decrease as more humanitarian and commercial supplies arrive. "We continue to call for the opening of all crossings and for an increase in the number of UN agencies and organizations authorized to deliver humanitarian aid into Gaza."

Meanwhile, OCHA said humanitarian partners continue to escalate their efforts despite reports of Israeli airstrikes across Gaza, and reminded the Israeli military of its responsibility to ensure the protection of civilians and humanitarian workers at all times throughout its military operations.

Since the ceasefire began, the World Health Organization has delivered more than 840 pallets of life-saving medications to Gaza, including insulin, auxiliaries, essential drugs, cholera kits, and surgical kits. –0–

Minsk, November 1 (Xinhua) — The annual Chinese Ambassador's Award ceremony took place in Belarus on Friday. The event took place at the Belarusian State University of Foreign Languages.

The award is presented annually to students of secondary schools and universities to support their learning of the Chinese language and understanding of Chinese culture. Awards were also given to exemplary Belarusian educational institutions in the field of Chinese language teaching and to Chinese language teachers who have achieved outstanding teaching success. This year marks the ninth time the awards have been presented.

As Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China to Belarus Zhang Wenchuan noted during the ceremony, Belarusian students view the Chinese language as a window into China and a connection with the world. At the same time, tens of thousands of Chinese students go to study in Belarus. "Such interaction and humanitarian exchange significantly contribute to mutual understanding and rapprochement between peoples. This award is a confirmation of your efforts and an expression of hope for the mission entrusted to you in the future," the ambassador emphasized.

In turn, Vladimir Dolzhenkov, Deputy Minister of Education of Belarus, noted that over 5,500 students in general secondary and higher education institutions in Belarus are studying Chinese as a subject this academic year.

JIUQUAN, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) — China successfully launched the Shenzhou-21 manned spacecraft on Friday, sending three astronauts to its Tiangong orbital space station for a six-month mission.

The spacecraft, atop a Long March 2F launch vehicle, lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.

The Shenzhou-21 crew consists of mission commander pilot Zhang Lu, flight engineer Wu Fei, and payload specialist Zhang Hongzhang – all three categories of Chinese astronauts currently used in the country's space program.

Zhang Lu was also a member of the Shenzhou-15 mission, while this will be the first flight for Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang.

MICE IN SPACE

It is noteworthy that four mice were sent into space along with the Shenzhou-21 crew.

The rodents, two males and two females, will be transported to China's space station where they will remain in orbit for five to seven days, marking the country's first space science experiments involving mammals.

Mice are one of the most widely used model organisms in life science research.

According to Huang Kun, an expert from the Space Application Engineering and Technology Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), they have a number of advantages such as high genetic similarity to humans, small body size, short reproductive cycle, and high susceptibility to genetic modification.

“These characteristics make them ideal for studying physiological and pathological processes, as well as the growth, development, and reproduction of living organisms in space,” he noted.

The project, jointly led by the Shanghai Institute of Engineering Physics and the Institute of Zoology at the Academy of Sciences of China, will involve continuous multi-dimensional video monitoring of the mice throughout their stay in orbit.

Lights inside the mice's experimental setup will turn on at 7 a.m. and off at 7 p.m., maintaining the same circadian rhythm as on Earth, explained Li Tianda, a junior researcher at the Institute of Zoology.

The rodents' diet will not only be nutritionally balanced but also relatively firm, reducing the amount of crumbs and satisfying the mice's habit of grinding their teeth. A directed airflow is created inside the experimental device to blow hair, excrement, and other debris into a collection container, providing the animals with a clean and hygienic environment, Li Tianda added.

By collecting preliminary data on stress responses and adaptation mechanisms in microgravity, scientists will be able to use these observations to decipher how weightlessness and confined spaces affect the behavior of mice.

After completing their orbital mission, the "astronaut mice" will return to Earth aboard the Shenzhou 20 spacecraft for further analysis.

“The data obtained will be important for assessing the possibility of long-term human survival and reproduction in space, and will also provide information useful for human health on Earth,” Huang Kun said, noting that the experiment will be a major step forward in developing China’s research capabilities in space life sciences.

Previous animal experiments conducted at the Chinese space lab included zebrafish and fruit flies.

During their stay in orbit, the Shenzhou-21 crew members plan to conduct a total of 27 new orbital experiments, including research in space life sciences and biotechnology, space medicine, space materials science, fluid physics and microgravity combustion, and new space technologies.

Among the planned orbital studies to be conducted during this mission are also the study of the relationship between the origin of genetic codes and chirality, the development of lithium-ion batteries for space applications, and the creation of intelligent computing platforms.

The crew will also conduct a spacewalk and carry out loading and unloading operations, install space debris protection devices, and deploy and retrieve extravehicular payloads and equipment. They will also participate in scientific, educational, and public benefit activities.

The Shenzhou-21 mission is the sixth manned flight since China's Tiangong space station entered the application and development phase, and the 37th flight in China's human spaceflight program. -0-
