Beijing, November 11 (Xinhua) — Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao held talks via video link with German Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Katherine Reiche on Tuesday. The two sides exchanged views on China-Germany and China-EU trade and economic relations.

Noting that China and Germany are important trade and economic partners, Wang Wentao noted that bilateral economic and trade ties have demonstrated progress while maintaining stability, and that practical cooperation in various fields is constantly deepening. China will steadily promote high-level opening-up, create a first-class internationalized business environment, and provide new development opportunities for foreign-invested enterprises, including German companies, the Chinese minister assured.

Addressing the issue surrounding semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia, Wang Wentao emphasized that the root cause of the problem lies in the Dutch government's unlawful interference in the company's internal affairs. Responsibility for the instability and chaos in the global semiconductor supply chain lies with the Dutch government, the Chinese Minister of Commerce stated.

He recalled that the Chinese side, acting responsibly and making maximum efforts, granted exemptions for relevant export shipments, which in the short term helped reduce the burden on global supply chains.

However, to ensure the long-term stability of the global semiconductor supply chain, a constructive approach and practical actions from the Netherlands are needed, Wang Wentao said.

He said China hopes Germany will play an active role in encouraging the Dutch authorities to correct their mistakes, reverse the measures taken earlier, and facilitate a speedy resolution of the problem.

K. Reiche, for her part, stated that the German government is paying particular attention to the development of trade and economic relations with China and admires the successes of the development and viability of the Chinese economy.

Noting that bilateral trade and economic cooperation benefits both sides, K. Reiche emphasized that Germany is ready to strengthen dialogue and exchanges with China, further deepen mutually beneficial cooperation, and promote more balanced and sustainable development of bilateral trade.

The minister stated that Germany is paying particular attention to the Nexperia semiconductor issue and is ready to further strengthen contacts with the Netherlands. –0–

BEIJING, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Commerce said Tuesday it has noted a U.S. announcement that it will suspend for one year, effective Nov. 10, a rule that extends export restrictions to any company that is 50 percent or more owned by parties on U.S. sanctions lists.

As the official representative of the Ministry of Commerce noted, this is an important step for the American side in implementing the consensus reached at the Chinese-American trade and economic consultations in Kuala Lumpur.

As for the course of action after the one-year pause in applying the so-called 50 percent rule ends, the two countries will continue discussions on the matter, the Chinese ministry representative added.

China is willing to work with the United States to firmly adhere to the principles of mutual respect and equal consultation, strengthen dialogue and exchanges, and properly handle differences, so as to create favorable conditions for mutually beneficial cooperation between enterprises of the two countries and ensure the security and stability of global industrial and supply chains, the official representative concluded.

St. Petersburg, November 11 /Xinhua/ — The Russian experimental PD-8 aircraft engine has logged over 4,000 hours of bench and flight testing, the press service of the Rostec state corporation reported on Tuesday.

The PD-8 bypass turbofan engine was developed at the Rybinsk-based UEC-Saturn plant. Work on the project began in 2019, and aircraft certification testing began in March 2025. Flight tests of the engine are currently underway on the Il-76LL flying testbed and two Superjet 100 aircraft.

According to Alexander Grachev, CEO of the United Engine Corporation, a Rostec subsidiary, the PD-8 has demonstrated reliable operation in all modes. One of the most important tests will be flights in natural icing conditions, planned for Arkhangelsk.

The PD-8 engine, with a thrust of 8 tons, is designed for the Superjet 100 short-haul passenger aircraft and the Be-200 amphibious aircraft. The Superjet 100 is designed to carry 100 passengers, and serial deliveries of the new aircraft are planned to begin in 2026. –0–

Beijing, November 11 (Xinhua) — China calls on the European Union to ensure a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies and to prevent these enterprises from undermining their confidence in investing in Europe, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Tuesday.

The Chinese diplomat made the call at a departmental briefing, commenting at a journalist's request on a report that the European Commission is currently exploring ways to force EU member states to gradually phase out the use of equipment from Chinese companies Huawei Technologies and ZTE Corporation in eurozone telecommunications networks.

Lin Jian noted that Chinese companies conduct their commercial activities in Europe in accordance with the law, provide high-quality goods and services to European residents, and make a positive contribution to the socio-economic development and employment of the population of EU countries.

According to the official representative, forced restrictions or bans on companies' access to the market by administrative means without any legal or factual basis grossly violate market principles and the rules of fair competition.

As Lin Jian pointed out, evidence shows that the dismantling of high-quality and secure equipment from Chinese telecommunications companies in individual countries not only hinders their domestic technological development, but also leads to significant financial losses.

“Transferring trade issues to the security and political realm will hinder technological progress and economic development, benefiting no one,” the diplomat added. –0–

Moscow, November 11 (Xinhua) – Russia has made no statements about its intention to conduct nuclear weapons tests and is awaiting clarification from the United States on its position on the matter. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated this in an interview with Russian media on Tuesday.

"We have not announced that we are conducting nuclear tests. At a meeting of the permanent members of the Security Council, Russian President Vladimir Putin drew attention to a statement by US President Donald Trump, who said that Russia and China have been doing this for a long time, so they should do the same. As you know, we immediately contacted our colleagues and explained to them that there was probably some misunderstanding here. We are awaiting clarification," Lavrov stated.

The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the Russian president had ordered that nuclear tests not be conducted or even preparations for them not be made. "The Russian Foreign Ministry and other agencies, including the military and intelligence services, have been instructed to analyze the situation and reach a consensus on the extent to which this situation warrants consideration of the resumption of nuclear testing," he explained.

At the same time, S. Lavrov emphasized that Russia would respond in kind if any nuclear power conducted a nuclear weapons test. "Our principled position was outlined by Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin in 2023, when, answering a relevant question during one of his speeches, he said that if any nuclear power conducted a nuclear weapons test, whether it was a carrier or a subcritical test, Russia would do the same," the Russian diplomat recalled.
