BEIJING, November 20 (Xinhua) — The Third Hui International Wooden Architecture Festival, titled "Inheriting the Spirit of Hui-Style Architectural Masters, Joint Creativity between China and Russia," was recently held in Hefei, capital of Anhui Province, east China.

As part of this festival, students from Anhui University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (AUAC) and Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, using Hui wooden architecture as a common language, engaged in in-depth dialogue both on campus and in the field, and from theory to practice, according to a statement posted on the AUAC official website.

Hui architecture is one of the traditional Chinese architectural styles that historically predominated in the ancient Huizhou region of today's Anhui Province. It was also popular in parts of the neighboring provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangxi.

At the Hui Architecture Museum at AASU, teachers and students from China and Russia systematically studied the history of village development in the Huizhou region. At the ancient settlement of Xidi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, they experienced the cultural pulse of the millennia-old architectural tenon joints. At the modern Bishan Village Library, built on the foundations of traditional buildings, they admired the vitality of traditional wooden structures in contemporary design.

The festival's highlight was a competition for wooden structures, themed "Informal Communication Space." The winning entry, "Blossom," harmoniously blends the spire forms of traditional Russian architecture with the essence of Huizhou's finger-jointed wooden components. This carefully designed wooden structure expands from the center to the periphery, symbolizing the trend of bilateral collaboration, growing from the individual to the larger whole.

“We wanted to express not only the combination of technologies, but also the fusion of cultures and emotions,” explained Chen Hongbo, a member of the Chinese creative team for this project. -0-

CHENGDU, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) — Wang Huning, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), on Thursday reaffirmed the Chinese mainland's resolve to combat separatist forces seeking "Taiwan independence," resist external interference, and safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.

Wang Huning, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC Central Committee), made the remarks in a congratulatory letter sent to a seminar on cross-strait compatriot exchanges held in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province.

He stressed that the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the return of Taiwan to China are a great triumph and a source of deep national pride for the Chinese nation.

They highlight a fundamental truth: a strong and unified state is always the foundation on which the future of all Chinese people, including compatriots in Taiwan, ultimately depends, Wang Huning noted.

He also noted that at the ceremonial meeting held in September to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, it was solemnly proclaimed that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be stopped.

He added that at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee in October, further emphasis was placed on promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and the great cause of national reunification in the new campaign of comprehensively building a socialist modern country.

"We will fully implement the Party's overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan issue in the new era, uphold the one-China principle and the 1992 consensus," Wang Huning said, vowing to make efforts to promote cross-strait economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation, improve the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the Strait, and work hand in hand to create a brighter future for the Chinese nation.

The seminar, the fifth of its kind, was jointly organized by the mainland China-based Center for Cross-Strait Relations Studies and Taiwanese patriotic groups supporting national reunification.

The event was attended by more than 200 people, including former Kuomintang Party Chairman Hong Xiuzhu, New Party Chairman Wu Chengdian, experts and scholars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, as well as guests from the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions.

Beijing, November 20 (Xinhua) — A specialized exhibition and fair of local products and trade cooperation talks were held in Kashi (Kashgar) in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) on November 18-19. The event aimed to deepen cross-border economic and trade cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative.

According to the Kashi District Convergent News Center, leading buyers from Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan participated in the event. They held talks with local companies on agricultural and industrial products, giving new impetus to the development of the district's export-oriented economy.

As a key hub city within the Belt and Road Initiative, Kashi, thanks to its unique geographic location, has become China's vital gateway to the West. The event provided an effective platform for direct dialogue between Chinese and foreign enterprises. The program included presentations, a contract signing ceremony, and negotiations.

Company representatives in Kashi provided detailed information on production technologies, product quality, and competitiveness. Foreign buyers, in turn, shared information on market demand in their countries and their intentions for trade cooperation. This bilateral exchange effectively eliminated information barriers and laid a solid foundation of trust for future collaboration.

During the signing ceremony, contracts were signed for six cross-border projects. These projects cover the export and import of agricultural products, trade in specialized industrial goods, and other key areas. They involve numerous local agricultural and manufacturing enterprises in Kashi, as well as buyers and trade associations from Pakistan, Tajikistan, and other countries. The signed agreements are practical and targeted, outlining specific steps in developing trade and economic cooperation between Kashi and neighboring countries.

Mohammad Amin, a representative of Iran's Organization of Small and Industrial Parks in China, expressed confidence that Kashi will continue to attract increasing attention in the near future. Building on China's pilot free trade zone in Kashi, they can expand trade cooperation between Iran and Kashi. "Kashi in China will become a very promising market for Iran," he said.

Over 30 foreign professional buyers and trade associations were invited to the event to help local enterprises secure orders from foreign companies, provide them with more opportunities for direct access to international markets, promote market expansion, and deepen regional cooperation. This truly contributes to high-quality economic development and the modernization of industries such as specialized agriculture, cultural tourism, and processing trade.

“In the future, we will regularly organize similar specialized product promotion events and continue to establish connections for local businesses to facilitate their participation in external cooperation,” said Tong Peiting, Director of the Kashi City Investment Promotion Center.

Beijing, November 20 (Xinhua) — Since the opening of the Heihe River Port (Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China) for passenger transport by hovercraft in late October 2025, the number of Russian passengers using this mode of transport has increased by 169.53 percent year-on-year, according to the Zhongguo Xinwenshe News Agency, citing data from Heihe Customs.

According to customs data, since China introduced a visa-free regime for Russian citizens holding ordinary passports, the Heihe Maritime Administration has ensured smooth customs clearance for a total of 133,200 Chinese and Russian passengers, representing a 66.92 percent increase year-on-year.

Since the launch of hovercraft passenger services, the aforementioned department has handled a total of 1,135 arriving and departing vessels, providing customs clearance for 30,032 passengers. Of these, 506 vessels and 17,304 passengers were from Russia, representing an increase of 109.96 percent and 169.53 percent, respectively, compared to the same period last year.

As a reminder, China has introduced a trial visa-free regime for Russian citizens holding regular passports from September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2026. Russian citizens holding valid passports can visit China under the visa-free regime for business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, exchanging visits, and transit purposes. Their stay in China should not exceed 30 days.

The city of Heihe and its neighboring city of Blagoveshchensk, separated only by the Heilongjiang River (Amur), are known as the "twin cities of China and Russia." Since October 27 of this year, hovercraft have been operating on the route connecting these cities, replacing traditional boats.

UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) — Palestinians continue to live in dire conditions after heavy rains flooded large swathes of the Gaza Strip four days ago, U.N. humanitarian agencies said Wednesday.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that the situation remains unchanged despite efforts by the global organization and its partners to provide assistance to those in need.

According to OCHA's latest estimates, more than 18,600 households have been affected, with thousands of people displaced or newly displaced.

"This number continues to grow as partners conduct additional assessments to determine the extent of the damage caused by the storm," the department said.

Winter is approaching and the volume of supplies arriving in Gaza is insufficient to meet the vast needs of the population, OCHA warned, citing information from its partners providing shelter to those affected.

Since September, the world body, its partners and UN member states have delivered 60,000 tents, 346,000 tarpaulins and 309,000 bedding sets to Gaza.

OCHA reported that as part of its winterization efforts, its child protection partners have distributed 48,000 winter clothing kits for children across the Strip since the ceasefire came into force on 10 October.

The agency reported that its nutrition partners have seen a gradual decline in the number of patients admitted for treatment for malnutrition over the past two months, with about 9,280 cases reported last month and 11,740 in September. However, October's figures remain nearly four times higher than January's.

OCHA's water and sanitation partners reported that they have distributed diapers, towels and other essential items to meet the hygiene needs of 400,000 people over the past two days.

“However, they warn that sanitary and hygiene conditions in Gaza are dire, as the Strip lacks wastewater treatment facilities due to the widespread destruction of infrastructure after two years of war,” OCHA emphasized.

“The deteriorated state of sanitation systems in Gaza poses a threat to public health, including by increasing the risk of bacterial infections spreading through contact with contaminated waste or water,” OCHA said.

The Office continues to call for the entry of currently restricted goods into the Gaza Strip, including equipment for the reconstruction of critical infrastructure.

OCHA also reiterates the need to allow non-governmental organizations to deliver aid into the Gaza Strip and to open additional crossing points and routes to enable the UN and its partners to reach people in need more quickly and effectively. –0–
