HONG KONG, November 29 (Xinhua) — Anti-China forces seeking to destabilize Hong Kong, as well as individuals with selfish motives, attempted to undermine the situation in the city at a time when the entire country was exerting maximum efforts to conduct rescue operations. Such actions must be severely punished in accordance with the law, the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) stated on Saturday.

According to the agency's official representative, the rioters spread false information, maliciously attacked the rescue efforts, provoked social discord, and incited discontent against the SAR administration.

He added that the SAR administration promptly clarified the facts, stopped the malicious attempts and put an end to these illegal actions.

The Office firmly supports the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government in preventing attempts to destabilize the city during natural disasters, punishing acts that threaten national security, and countering external interference, the official spokesman emphasized.

Bishkek, November 29 /Xinhua/ — Chinese initiatives are distinguished by their focus on each country's interests. They also differ in the country's commitment to fulfilling its promises, political scientist and director of the Kyrgyz Institute of World Politics Sheradil Baktygulov told Xinhua.

In recent years, China has successively launched four major global initiatives: the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative. According to the expert, China's initiatives differ from other initiatives in that each country, based on its economic size, GDP, population, and other characteristics, can develop its own vision for participating in these initiatives with the goal of securing support from other countries, including China.

"China's initiatives are focused on the interests of each country, while the existing initiatives of some countries are primarily focused on satisfying their own interests," emphasized Sh. Baktygulov.

As the political scientist noted, another distinctive feature of China's initiatives is that China backs up its words with action. "This is reflected in the allocation of significant financial resources for the implementation of these four initiatives within the framework of other initiatives. In particular, this concerns the Belt and Road Initiative," he said, adding that this demonstrates a comprehensive approach to addressing global problems created by human activity.

The agency's source emphasized that China has made tremendous progress in its own development over the past decades, which has brought real benefits to the entire world. For example, he noted that, thanks to the country's growing manufacturing sector, many people around the world now have access to things that were previously the preserve of the wealthiest individuals. Furthermore, Chinese technologies, including the landing of a Chinese space probe on the far side of the moon, 5G technology, and high-speed trains, are driving the scientific and technological revolution worldwide.

"The list of achievements could go on, but the fact remains: in almost forty years, a very short period of time, Chinese modernization has eradicated poverty and lifted approximately 800 million people, or approximately 10 percent of the world's population, out of poverty. This deserves respect and attention, with the aim of studying this phenomenon and potentially adapting it to combat poverty in other countries," said Sh. Baktygulov.

The expert also noted that China's accumulated experience provides tremendous food for thought and improvement in the development programs and strategies of countries in the Global South. "As global development continues to evolve, the significance and value of China's experience is becoming even more significant," he added.

St. Petersburg, November 29 /Xinhua/ — Scientists from St. Petersburg State University (SPbSU) have created an innovative nanofiber material capable of absorbing petroleum products from water, which has a high sorption capacity and can be used repeatedly.

As reported by TASS, citing Roman Olekhnovich, Associate Professor of the Department of Medicinal Chemistry at St. Petersburg State University, the scientists' development is capable of absorbing up to 40 grams of oil per gram of sorbent. The created material is hydrophobic—it cannot be sunk—and it possesses good strength and elasticity, making it suitable for use in challenging weather conditions. Once the polymer has absorbed the oil, it can be squeezed out and then returned to the reservoir.

According to the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, approximately 10,000 spills occur annually in the country's oil pipelines as a result of accidents and ship collisions, wastewater discharges, or the intentional injection of petroleum products.
