Moscow, December 2 (Xinhua) — Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's statements about the possibility of armed intervention in the Taiwan Strait and her attempts to revise Japan's three non-nuclear principles are provocative, with deep historical roots. This was stated recently in an interview with Xinhua by Dmitry Novikov, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs and Deputy Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF).

"As for the behavior of the current Japanese authorities, it is, of course, provocative; it has deep roots, and these roots lie far back in history," the Russian politician noted.

D. Novikov noted that this year marks the 80th anniversary of two great victories: the victory over Nazi Germany and fascism in Europe, as well as the victory over fascism in Asia and the defeat of militaristic Japan. "This is a very important date, a landmark date, both for our people and for the Chinese people, and it is a great shame that Japanese militarism is making such a serious impact this year," he said.

The Russian parliamentarian emphasized that after the war, Japan failed to properly demilitarize, both at the ideological and ideological level. "A significant portion of Japan's political establishment fails to recognize that their ancestors committed monstrous crimes. None of this has been properly condemned in Japanese political tradition. Therefore, today we see a return to militaristic ambitions," he explained.

According to D. Novikov, Japan is exploiting its alliance with the United States to further its belligerent plans and ambitions. "I believe, I'm sure, that it's no coincidence that the new Japanese prime minister has begun making her provocative statements now, shortly after her talks with Mr. Trump. Clearly, she cannot make decisions on her own regarding American nuclear weapons, their deployment in Japan or anywhere else," the agency's source noted.

In recent years, Japan has been reviewing its security and defense policy, annually increasing its military budget, and intending to revise its three non-nuclear principles. D. Novikov considers Japan's behavior "extremely dangerous." He pointed out that the imbalance in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Taiwan Strait, threatens not only China but all countries in the region.

D. Novikov emphasized that Taiwan is an integral part of China, its status is well defined, and "all leading states of the modern world adhere to the one-China policy." He stated that if Japan's stated intentions are realized, Russia has the right to take countermeasures to protect its security. "A threat to Moscow, the Russian Federation, or those countries with which we have close relations must be met with a fitting response. We must not allow provocateurs to carry out their provocations and their ambitions," the politician concluded.

HANGZHOU, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) — Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) technology company DeepSeek officially released two new models on Monday evening, namely DeepSeek-V3.2 and its high-performance version DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale.

According to the report, the implementation of a robust reinforcement learning protocol combined with scalable post-training computation enabled DeepSeek-V3.2 to demonstrate performance comparable to GPT-5. The AI model strikes a balance between high computational efficiency and the preservation of superior reasoning logic and intelligent agent performance.

Competition among the world's leading tech companies in the field of AI model development is intensifying. In August of this year, OpenAI unveiled its flagship model, GPT-5, which the organization called the most advanced and responsive model to date. In November of this year, Google unveiled its latest AI system, dubbed Gemini-3.0-Pro.

Remarkably, the high-performance DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale variant not only outperforms GPT-5 but also matches Gemini-3.0-Pro in reasoning and logical inference, according to a recent company publication. Furthermore, it won gold medals at both the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) and the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI).

A significant technical advancement is the DeepSeek Sparse Attention mechanism, which results in a significant reduction in computational complexity in long-term context scenarios while maintaining the performance of the AI model.

DeepSeek was founded in July 2023 with a primary focus on research and development of large-scale language models and multimodal AI technologies. -0-

The number of small giant enterprises in China has increased exponentially.

BEIJING, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) — China has seen a sharp increase in the number of small giant enterprises in recent years, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

According to the agency, during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), the number of “small giants” – small and medium-sized enterprises with a high degree of specialization and technological leadership in their field, great innovative potential and a clear competitive advantage in the market – increased from just over 5,000 to 17,600. In 2024 alone, each of these companies, distinguished by an increased focus on innovation, invested an average of more than 30 million yuan (approximately 4.24 million US dollars) in R&D.

These firms, often considered niche market leaders and specialist suppliers, play a vital role in ensuring greater resilience and competitiveness in supply chains.

More than 60 percent of these "small giants" operate in basic industries, and nearly 80 percent operate in key production chains. Ninety percent of companies in this category supply directly to at least three large domestic or international enterprises. There are nearly 6,000 of these companies in so-called emerging industries, such as quantum technologies.

This situation, as analysts note, allows us to conclude that specialized small and medium-sized enterprises, which view innovation as the basis of competitiveness, have become a key driving force behind China's economic growth.

Although they account for only 3.5 percent of China's total industrial enterprises with annual operating income of at least RMB 20 million, they account for 9.6 percent of total operating revenue and 13.7 percent of total profit.

Chinese Minister of Industry and Information Technology Li Lecheng pledged to further strengthen the status of enterprises as innovative actors, enhance the role of high-quality companies as pillars of production chains, and improve the business climate.

According to the minister, seamlessly linking innovation and production chains, leveraging financial leverage, and expanding targeted financial support will be priorities of government policy. -0-
