BEIJING, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Wednesday called for implementing a people-centered new urbanization strategy and fully unleashing the huge potential of domestic demand inherent in the integrated development of urban and rural areas to inject strong impetus into socio-economic development.

Li Qiang made the remarks while presiding over the 17th Thematic Study of the State Council of the People's Republic of China. State Council Vice Premiers Ding Xuexiang and He Lifeng, as well as State Councilor Wang Xiaohong, delivered speeches at the event.

Pointing out that the new-type urbanization strategy is important for expanding domestic demand, promoting industrial upgrading and strengthening domestic circulation, Li Qiang noted that significant progress has been made in implementing this strategy nationwide in recent years, and there remains ample room for further advancement of new-type urbanization during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030).

The head of the Chinese government stated that urbanization in China is transitioning from a stage of rapid growth to a stage of stable development, with profound changes occurring in the population structure, the urban settlement system, and the model of urban-rural interaction. He stated that it is necessary to further improve the targeting and effectiveness of new-type urbanization efforts.

Li Qiang called for implementing a new type of urbanization plan based on local conditions, optimizing the "people, industry, city" development model, and taking more vigorous and targeted measures to address the problems of employment, social security, housing, and children's education faced by rural migrants.

The State Council Premier added that it is necessary to thoroughly implement the urban renewal initiative and steadily promote the construction of comfortable housing and high-quality development of the real estate sector.

Beijing, December 3 (Xinhua) — The introduction of a visa-free regime is boosting the development of air travel between Russia and China. This was stated by Yulia Elrikh, CEO of Siberian Airports LLC, at the opening ceremony of the company's representative office in Beijing, which took place Wednesday as part of the Russia-China forum "New Opportunities for Direct Air Travel."

The event, hosted by the Russian Trade Mission to China, brought together representatives of government agencies, industry associations, and businesses from both countries. Participants discussed the prospects for trade, economic, humanitarian, and regional ties arising from the full restoration and expansion of direct flights.

The central event of the day was the opening of the Beijing office of one of Russia's largest airport groups, which manages more than a quarter of Russia's total passenger traffic.

As Yulia Elrikh emphasized in her welcoming speech, this decision was the result of careful analysis and reflects the company's strategic focus on a direct presence in the dynamic Chinese market.

"Our company's entry into the Chinese market is a new impetus for the development of air travel between Russia and China. It will create new flights, new routes, new jobs in both China and Russia, and thousands of passengers will be able to fly more frequently, more comfortably, and more affordably," she noted.

The presentation placed particular emphasis on the synergy between visa liberalization and the development of air travel. Following China's introduction of a visa-free regime for Russians, a significant increase in travel has been recorded. The decree signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin introducing visa-free travel for Chinese citizens for up to 30 days, based on reciprocity, until September 14, 2026, was described as "good news this week."

The opening of the representative office was presented as a practical implementation of the agreements enshrined in the May 2024 Joint Statement between Russia and China on Deepening Comprehensive Partnership and Strategic Cooperation. In the document, the parties agreed to actively promote the development of air travel, encouraging airlines to increase flight frequency and expand their flight geography.

As Yulia Elrikh stated, the representative office is not just an office, but a strategic choice, relying on which they will be able to develop long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation with their Chinese colleagues. -0-
