Jiuquan, October 30 (Xinhua) — China is actively introducing commercial competition mechanisms into its human spaceflight program, particularly in its lunar exploration project, the China Manned Space Administration (CMSA) announced on Thursday.

A competitive commercial model has already been adopted for the development of a manned lunar rover, lunar surface remote sensing satellites, and a low-cost cargo transportation system for the space station, noted CMSA official Zhang Jingbo.

According to him, contracts for the construction of these facilities were signed following a competitive selection process, and work is currently underway to develop them.

Zhang Jingbo said the scale and proportion of participation of commercial organizations has “significantly increased” compared to the previous period, and their contribution to accelerating the implementation of the program is becoming “increasingly tangible.”

The program plans to expand competitive commercial models to include research and development (R&D) of scientific payloads such as a lunar science platform and a crater detection platform, a CMSA spokesperson said.

China is committed to landing astronauts on the moon by 2030 and has drawn up a busy development and testing schedule for its ambitious manned lunar program, he stressed. -0-

BEIJING, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Commerce on Thursday released the results achieved by Chinese and US delegations during their latest economic and trade talks in Kuala Lumpur.

The US will lift the so-called 10% "fentanyl tariff" and suspend for another year the 24% reciprocal tariffs on goods from China, including goods from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region, according to a statement from the US Department of Justice.

China will make appropriate adjustments to its countermeasures against the aforementioned US tariffs, a representative of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce noted, adding that the parties agreed to continue extending certain measures to exclude goods from tariffs.

According to the spokesperson, the United States will suspend the new "50 percent rule" in export controls, announced on September 29, for one year. China will suspend its corresponding export control measures, announced on October 9, for one year and will review and finalize specific plans.

The United States will suspend for one year the implementation of measures under Section 301 investigations related to China's maritime sector, logistics, and shipbuilding. In response, China will correspondingly suspend its countermeasures against the United States for one year once the U.S. suspension takes effect.

In addition, the parties reached consensus on issues such as cooperation in the fight against fentanyl, expanding trade in agricultural products, and considering individual cases involving relevant enterprises.

The parties also confirmed the results of trade and economic talks in Madrid. The American side made positive commitments in areas such as investment, and the Chinese side will work with the US to appropriately address issues related to TikTok.

Noting that these results were not achieved easily, the aforementioned representative said that China looks forward to working with the US side to jointly ensure the implementation of these results and bring more certainty and stability to bilateral trade and economic cooperation, as well as to the global economy.

The Chinese side is ready to work with the United States to effectively maintain and implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state at their meeting on Thursday in Busan, during which they held an in-depth discussion of Sino-American trade and economic relations, among other issues, and also agreed to strengthen cooperation in trade, economic and other areas, a representative of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce emphasized. -0-

SEOUL, October 30 (Xinhua) — President of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Lee Jae-myung said he is ready to work with Chinese President Xi Jinping to advance mutually beneficial cooperation between his country and China, improve the well-being of the peoples of both countries, and achieve tangible results for them. The South Korean leader made this statement in an exclusive written interview with Xinhua.

At the invitation of Lee Zhe Meng, Xi Jinping will attend the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Gyeongju, South Korea, from October 30 to November 1 and pay a state visit to the Republic of Korea.

This will be the first meeting between the two countries' leaders since the new South Korean government came to power, so the visit is of particular importance for bilateral relations, Lee Jae-myung emphasized.

The South Korean president noted that he, like Xi Jinping, began his career at the local government level, working directly with the people and implementing a philosophy that puts the people's well-being first. Both eventually became leaders of their countries.

Lee Zhe-meng said he intends to work with President Xi Jinping to further deepen the strategic partnership between the ROK and China amid dramatic changes in the domestic and international environment that have occurred since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Speaking about his expectations for Xi Jinping's visit, Li Zhe Meng expressed hope for in-depth discussions on specific plans to strengthen practical cooperation to improve people's lives, expand consultation channels on bilateral trade and economic cooperation, accelerate negotiations on a free trade agreement between the Republic of Kazakhstan and China that will cover services and investment, and create a new institutional framework for trade and economic cooperation.

As the two largest economies, Kazakhstan and China are partners in advancing regional development and prosperity. China currently remains Kazakhstan's largest trading partner and a key partner in ensuring supply chain stability, the President noted.

Since establishing diplomatic relations in 1992, the two countries have developed complementary industrial structures and supply chains and maintained close cooperation, Li Zhe-myung emphasized. He added that, on this foundation, the Republic of Korea and China continue to maintain and develop sustainable trade and investment ties, despite the current uncertainty in the global economy.

According to him, such active trade and economic exchanges give impetus to the development of industry and the economy of the Asia-Pacific region (APR) and the entire world.

Li Zhe Meng stressed the need to further strengthen cooperation in industrial and supply chain areas and expressed hope to hold in-depth discussions with Xi Jinping on a relevant cooperation plan.

He also expressed hope for increased cooperation in areas such as culture and ecology to improve the quality of life of the peoples of both countries and further expand humanitarian exchanges.

Speaking about maintaining peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, Lee Jae-myung said he will work with China to strengthen strategic coordination based on the consensus that peace and stability are in the common interests of both countries, and to achieve denuclearization and peace on the peninsula.

The President noted that Seoul urgently needs Beijing's constructive role to achieve a long-term solution to the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula and establish peace there.

He recalled that this year, his country is once again hosting the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting after a 20-year hiatus. Kazakhstan remains committed to cooperation among APEC members and facilitating the implementation of various joint projects. This is aimed at achieving shared prosperity and development, and transforming APEC into an effective and meaningful platform for cooperation.

This year's meeting agenda also includes issues such as developing innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) and managing demographic change. These challenges are beyond the capabilities of any single country, Lee noted, adding that the best solutions emerge when all parties come together, share successful strategies, and explore various policy measures.

According to him, this is a clear example of the spirit of multilateralism.

Lee Zhe-myung said he would closely consult with APEC members, including China, to make the mechanism a multilateral platform that not only deals with trade and investment but also discusses future trade and economic issues such as AI and demographic structures.

The President said he was very pleased that the next APEC meeting would be held in China in 2026, stressing that both countries support the transformation of APEC into an open, dynamic, resilient and peaceful Asia-Pacific community, as well as the development of cooperation within the mechanism.

According to him, the experience of cooperation between Kazakhstan and China for growth and common development in various areas will be very useful for achieving APEC's goal of shared prosperity for the peoples of the region.

Li Zhe-myung stated that the Republic of Korea will assist China in successfully hosting the APEC meeting next year. Specifically, his country will support China in continuing to explore and develop issues related to cooperation in artificial intelligence and addressing demographic change.

Recalling his numerous visits to China during his tenure as mayor of Seongnam City and governor of Gyeonggi Province, Lee Zhe-myung mentioned several key moments, including the signing of a sister city agreement between Seongnam and Huizhou City in southern China's Guangdong Province in 2016, attending the Summer Davos Forum in China's northeastern coastal city of Dalian in 2017, and visiting China's southwestern city of Chongqing in 2019.

He said he was deeply impressed by China's excellent culture and economic development, and based on this, he is optimistic about the future of relations between the Republic of Korea and China.

He noted that in order to accurately determine the direction of development of bilateral relations and maintain the momentum of mutually beneficial cooperation, it is important to strengthen mutual political trust and maintain strategic communication through reciprocal visits by heads of state.

Li Zhe Meng expressed hope that he would soon be able to visit China again and re-enter into close talks with Xi Jinping.

Looking to the future of bilateral economic and technological cooperation, he noted that with China's significant progress in industrial competitiveness and high-tech capabilities, competition between enterprises of the two countries is becoming increasingly common.

South Korea and China can pool their expertise to develop a mature strategic partnership based on friendly competition and equal cooperation. Specifically, Lee Zhe-myung stated that both sides need to explore new, complementary models of economic and trade cooperation to further boost business and industry in both countries.

The President expressed hope that, using Xi Jinping's state visit to the Republic of Korea as an opportunity, the two countries will make efforts to further develop bilateral cooperation and make a tangible contribution to resolving issues related to the well-being of the people and peace between the two countries. –0–

For the past 70 years, we have been working on the same plan from generation to generation to bring it to life, he said.

"We have no intention of challenging or replacing any country," Xi Jinping said. "We have always focused on effectively managing China's own affairs, improving ourselves, and providing development opportunities for all countries around the world. This is an important secret to our success."

China will continue to deepen reforms across the board, expand opening-up, and promote higher-quality economic growth while achieving appropriate growth in output, and promote all-round human development and shared prosperity, the Chinese leader said.

He expressed confidence that this would also expand opportunities for cooperation between China and the United States. –0–

According to the World Intellectual Property Organization's Global Innovation Index, which covers 139 countries, China has made significant progress over the past five years. In 2025, the country entered the global top ten for the first time, and 24 Chinese innovation clusters made it into the top 100, a 40% increase from five years ago. The Shenzhen-Xiaangang-Guangzhou innovation cluster has ranked first globally for the third year in a row.

The 14th Five-Year Plan Program places particular emphasis on the “timely creation of an advanced national scientific and technical infrastructure.”

Focusing on promising areas, China is implementing a number of strategically important projects in this area. The Hefei Synchrotron Radiation Facility, a new-generation facility, is being built in Hefei Science City.

Once completed, it will allow scientists to study the microworld at the level of molecules, atoms, and even electrons. Over the past five years, twice as many scientific and technical infrastructure facilities have been built as in the previous five-year period, setting a record and laying a solid foundation for fundamental research.

Building on this cutting-edge infrastructure, innovation hubs are rapidly emerging in China. In the Greater Bay Area, universities and research institutes are actively collaborating across geographic boundaries, creating an innovation ecosystem that has transformed this approximately 200 square kilometer region into a model for the integration of science, education, and industry. This experience is spreading throughout China, ensuring the free flow of innovative resources.

Within five years, the results of scientific research quickly move from laboratories to production lines, stimulating the development of new quality productive forces.

China ranks first in the world for artificial intelligence (AI) patents. On average, a new AI company is created every 11 hours, bringing the total number of patents to over 5,000. The widespread penetration of AI is driving the development of numerous industries.

Domestic deep brain stimulators (DBS) have become widespread and have helped 30,000 patients with Parkinson's disease improve motor function.

More than 20 key cities, including Shanghai, Beijing, and Wuhan, have built city-wide quantum communication networks, forming the world's largest quantum communications network. Today, China boasts the world's largest number of researchers and over 500,000 high-tech enterprises. Innovation, the primary driver of development, ensures the sustainable growth of the Chinese economy.
