BEIJING, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) — Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin on Friday warned Japan of a "crushing defeat" if it dares to take risks on the Taiwan issue.

He made the statement at a press conference in response to journalists' requests to comment on Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's recent remarks that Japan's Self-Defense Forces could exercise their right to collective self-defense if mainland China uses military force against Taiwan.

"The Japanese leader's erroneous remarks regarding Taiwan constitute gross interference in China's internal affairs and a serious violation of the one-China principle, the spirit of the Four Political Documents between China and Japan, and the basic norms of international relations," Jiang Bin emphasized.

According to him, these statements challenge the post-war international order and send a profoundly wrong signal to forces advocating for "Taiwan independence." "Such statements are outrageous and have had profoundly negative consequences. They are extremely irresponsible and dangerous," Jiang Bin added.

He added that the Taiwan issue is an exclusively internal matter for China and does not allow any outside interference.

"If the Japanese side fails to learn from history and dares to take risks or even use force to interfere in the Taiwan issue, it will suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of the iron-willed People's Liberation Army (PLA) and pay a heavy price," the Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman stated. -0-

BEIJING, November 14 (Xinhua) — The first freight train on the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan multimodal international freight transport route departed from Xi'an International Port in Northwest China's Shaanxi Province on Thursday, the Shaanxi Daily newspaper reported.

As reported, train number X9015, loaded with 45 containers of auto parts, will arrive at the northern railway station in the city of Kashgar in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (northwest China). The cargo will then be transported to the Uzbek city of Jizzakh by road, crossing the state border through the Irkeshtam border crossing in Xinjiang.

The delivery time for these goods is expected to be 20 days in total, which is 4-5 days shorter than previous transportation methods.

According to the Xi'an branch of China State Railway Corporation, the launch of multimodal freight transport between China, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan via rail and road reduces logistics costs for foreign trade companies and stimulates trade and economic exchanges between Shaanxi Province and Central Asia.

The successful departure of the first train laid a solid foundation for the operation of similar trains on a large-scale and regular basis in the future, the company added. -0-

Comment: A joint effort is needed to build a new type of global leadership for a more just world

Johannesburg, November 14 /Xinhua/ — Today's world is experiencing a period of turbulence and profound transformation. Humanity faces unprecedented risks and challenges: growing insecurity, slowing development, and poor governance.

At the heart of these problems, according to a new report by the Xinhua Institute (Xinhua News Agency's think tank), "Collaborating to Build a New Type of Global Leadership: Collective Actions to Shift to a Fairer and Smarter Global Governance System," lies a deepening global leadership deficit. The authors believe the primary cause of this deficit is the failure of some major countries to fulfill their obligations and adhere to norms, disregarding international justice.

To address the global leadership deficit, countries must take proactive steps, working with foresight and flexibility to build a new type of global leadership that will foster a more balanced and inclusive global governance ecosystem.

The transition to a new type of global leadership requires a fundamental restructuring of the logic underlying the international order. The world must abandon hegemonic thinking based on principles of egocentrism and zero-sum games. Instead, it must develop a logic of symbiosis, characterized by mutual benefit, order, and inclusiveness.

To jointly shape a new type of global leadership, countries must adhere to the right values, guided by the common values of humanity—peace, development, justice, democracy, and freedom. These universal values transcend ideologies, social systems, and cultural differences, focusing on the shared aspirations of humanity and serving as a fundamental compass for global progress.

Joint efforts to build a new type of global leadership must focus on key areas of global governance that are its weak points, such as development, peace, and security. The Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative together provide systemic solutions and public goods to address pressing global challenges and promote progress in cooperation.

Furthermore, the transition to a new type of global leadership signifies a move toward a multipolar world based on equality and order, as well as toward economic globalization that is inclusive and beneficial for all. This will contribute to the strengthening of a peaceful and stable international environment and an open global economy, enabling all countries to achieve shared prosperity.

A new type of global leadership must be developed with a view to building a future community with a shared destiny for humanity. This will unite the international community in addressing common challenges and overcoming the turbulence of our times, working toward lasting peace and development for all.

In building a new model of global leadership, China will remain on the right side of history and on the side of human progress. It will work with other countries and international organizations to overcome the challenges of the present, strengthen global development, and promote a brighter future for humanity.

Pyongyang, November 14 (Xinhua) — North Korea on Thursday condemned the recent joint statement by the Group of Seven (G7) foreign ministers in Canada calling for the "complete denuclearization" of the DPRK, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported on Friday.

"The current status of the DPRK will not change under the influence of foreign rhetoric and insistent demands. In today's harsh geopolitical environment, possessing nuclear weapons is the most accurate choice for deterring the most dangerous states," KCNA quoted Foreign Minister Choi Son-hui as saying.

According to her, the G7 poses a significant nuclear threat to global peace and security, and the group has no right to tell independent sovereign states how to protect their security.

“The DPRK intends to guarantee the present and future of the state and people and ensure international justice by remaining faithful to the Constitution, which enshrines the right to possess nuclear weapons, until the external nuclear threat is eliminated and as long as there are forces that seek absolute hegemony and consider nuclear weapons a means of tyranny,” said Choi Song-hee. –0–

BEIJING, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping met with King Maha Vajiralongkorn of Thailand, who is on a state visit to China, in Beijing on Friday and called for joint efforts to further advance the building of a China-Thailand community with a shared future.

Xi Jinping noted that King Maha Vajiralongkorn chose China as the first major country to pay a state visit to and became the first Thai king to visit China since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, which fully reflects the great importance the King attaches to China-Thailand relations and the profound friendship within the context of the concept of “China and Thailand are as close as one family.”

Xi Jinping expressed condolences over the recent death of Queen Mother Sirikit and noted that the Thai royal family has long-standing and deep ties with China and has made important contributions to the development of friendship between the two countries, which China deeply values.

Noting that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Thailand and marks the "Golden Jubilee of China-Thailand Friendship," Xi Jinping said that over the past half-century, amidst the constantly changing international situation, China and Thailand have always stood shoulder to shoulder and supported each other, remaining truly good relatives, good friends and good partners.

Xi Jinping said that standing at a new historical starting point, he is willing to work with the King of Thailand to guide the construction of the China-Thailand community of shared future to achieve greater progress in the next 50 years, so as to jointly write a new chapter in the annals of friendship between China and Thailand. -0-
