Los Angeles, November 14 (Xinhua) — A powerful storm system will bring heavy rainfall to Southern California through Sunday evening, with flash flooding and mudslides possible, the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) reported on Friday.

Forecasters are most concerned about the period from Friday night to Saturday evening.

Forecast models show the heaviest rainfall will fall directly over Los Angeles and areas west of it, including communities around Malibu and the Palisades, which were heavily damaged by last year's wildfires, the NWS reports.

Heavy rains could quickly raise river levels, causing flooding. Moderate-level flooding is possible overnight from Friday to Saturday, meteorologists say.

Local officials urged residents in flood-prone areas or those experiencing wildfires to closely monitor weather warnings, avoid canyons and low-lying roads during periods of heavy rain, and be prepared for possible evacuations. –0–

BEIJING, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Commerce on Friday called on the Netherlands to demonstrate its willingness to sincerely cooperate with China and provide a substantive and constructive solution to the Nexperia issue.

A ministry spokesperson made the remarks in response to a reporter's request to comment on a recent statement by Dutch Economy Minister Vincent Karremans regarding Nexperia, the overseas subsidiary of Chinese company Wingtech.

China is extremely disappointed and strongly dissatisfied with such a statement, which distorts the facts, confuses black and white, and is filled with stubbornness, the spokesman said.

China agreed to the Netherlands sending personnel to China for consultations, the spokesman said.

China is ready to cooperate with the Dutch side to resolve the current crisis as quickly as possible in the interests of maintaining the security and stability of global supply chains in the semiconductor industry, the representative said.

He said China hopes the Netherlands will offer constructive solutions and strive to resolve problems rather than create new contradictions and conflicts. -0-

KUNMING, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) — Law enforcement agencies from China, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam agreed to step up efforts to combat transnational telecommunications and internet fraud at a meeting held in Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province, on Friday.

Officials from six countries held in-depth discussions on strengthening cross-border cooperation and reached a number of agreements, according to a statement from China's Ministry of Public Security (MPS).

The participants signed the final documents and confirmed their strong commitment to jointly combating transnational telecommunications and internet fraud, the statement said.

The countries will conduct joint operations, establish regular coordination mechanisms, improve intelligence sharing, and continue the extradition and transfer of individuals involved in this type of criminal activity, the statement said.

In recent years, China has expanded cooperation with law enforcement agencies in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam, developing effective mechanisms that have yielded significant results. Their joint efforts have dealt a serious blow to criminal groups involved in gambling and fraud.

Since the beginning of this year, China, Myanmar and Thailand have established a trilateral coordination mechanism and jointly carried out an operation in Myanmar's Myawaddy district to neutralize organized crime groups involved in gambling and fraud, resulting in the extradition of more than 5,500 criminal suspects to China, the ISS said.

Chinese and Laotian police conducted a joint operation to target telecom fraud rings in the Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone in Laos, arresting more than 600 suspects.

In a special joint operation to combat telecom fraud and online gambling crimes, Chinese and Vietnamese police successfully arrested 149 suspects, while Chinese and Cambodian law enforcement officers detained 2,141 suspects in Cambodia, all of whom were extradited to China.

The PRC's Ministry of Security will continue to deepen international cooperation, promote joint operations, dismantle fraudulent dens, and more vigorously pursue suspects, the agency concluded. -0-

Minsk, November 15 (Xinhua) — An additional, third unit will be built at the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant. This decision was made on Friday following a meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Deputy Prime Minister Viktor Karankevich announced.

"Following the meeting, a decision was made to develop the Ostrovets Nuclear Power Plant and implement the second phase—the construction of a third power unit. Concurrently, work will be conducted to survey sites in the Mogilev Region of Belarus. This additional research will focus on where nuclear power could be developed in the future, given rising electricity consumption," BelTA quotes him as saying.

Electricity consumption in Belarus is currently growing. By 2024, the country's electricity consumption was expected to exceed 43 billion kWh. Over the past five years, it has increased by 6 billion kWh.

According to V. Karankevich, key areas driving the country's increased electricity consumption include the installation of electric boilers in the Belarusian power grid, and increased use of electricity in agricultural greenhouses.

Furthermore, the number of electric vehicles in Belarus has exceeded 44,000 units. Their electricity consumption has almost doubled compared to last year's levels, and tenfold compared to 2020 levels. The real sector of the economy and the population of Belarus are also increasing their electricity consumption.

Japan has no right to make irresponsible statements regarding China's reunification – State Council Taiwan Affairs Office

Beijing, November 14 (Xinhua) — Japan and its current leader have no right to make irresponsible statements regarding the Taiwan issue, let alone make threats or attempt to obstruct China's reunification, Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Friday.

Reaffirming that Taiwan is China's sacred territory, the Taiwan question is China's internal affair, and its resolution and the achievement of China's complete reunification are the common aspirations of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, Chen Binhua emphasized that the resolution of this issue is the sole prerogative of the Chinese people and does not allow the interference of any external forces.

Earlier, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stated that "mainland China's use of force on Taiwan" could constitute a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan. These statements implied the possibility of military intervention in the Taiwan Strait. Despite China's strong representations and protests, Takaichi refused to retract her statement.

Speaking about the Japanese side, Chen Binhua recalled the crimes committed by Japan against the Chinese people in Taiwan, including half a century of brutal colonial rule on the island.

The official said Sanae Takaichi's unfounded statements are aimed at interfering in cross-strait affairs, are an attempt to deny China's victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and challenge the post-war international order.

"The Chinese government and people will never accept, tolerate, or allow this," the official said, demanding that Japan immediately correct its mistakes and withdraw its statement, or face all the consequences that follow.

Chen Binhua also warned that if Japan dared to resort to force to interfere in the Taiwan issue, it would face a "crushing defeat."
