BEIJING, October 27 (Xinhua) — From January to September 2025, food products worth 135.34 billion yuan (approximately 19.09 billion U.S. dollars) were imported into China from countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative through the Shanghai port, up 15.5 percent year-on-year, according to the website of the General Administration of Customs, citing data from Shanghai Customs.

It can be said that trade in agricultural and food products has become a new hot spot for trade between Shanghai and countries participating in the joint construction of the Belt and Road.

Thanks to the convenience provided by the Belt and Road Initiative, more and more high-quality fruits from participating countries are reaching Chinese households. In the first three quarters of this year, 1.495 million tons of fresh and dried fruits were imported through Shanghai's port from these countries, a 17.8 percent increase compared to the same period last year.

To ensure smooth customs clearance of imported fruits, Shanghai Customs has taken a series of measures, such as opening a “green channel” for fresh fruits entering the country, implementing a “24/7” cargo customs clearance regime and an unscheduled inspection regime.

In addition, Shanghai Customs is also making efforts to assist importing enterprises in supplying high-quality coffee from Belt and Road Initiative countries to the domestic market. -0-

From October 20 to 23, 2025, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing—an event of historic significance not only for China but also for the entire world. Chaired by the Politburo of the Central Committee, the meeting marked a key milestone in setting the strategic course for the coming years. Delegates discussed and approved the "Proposals of the CPC Central Committee for the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development," outlining a clear action plan aimed at further strengthening China's position as a global power.

The speech by General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Xi Jinping was a key moment of the plenary session. His words reflected confidence in the sustainability of China's path, built on a scientific approach, long-term planning, and policy consistency. The Chinese development model, based on socialism with Chinese characteristics in a new era, offers the world a model of stability, pragmatism, and innovative thinking.

Since the previous plenary session, China has achieved remarkable success: the country's economy is growing steadily, its industrial structure is improving, living standards are steadily improving, and innovative industries are becoming the driving force of the new economic cycle. The key goals of the 14th Five-Year Plan have been successfully achieved, creating a solid foundation for the next stage. Achievements in science and technology are particularly impressive—China has strengthened its position in strategic areas such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, high-precision engineering, and renewable energy.

The CPC's commitment to social justice and people's well-being deserves special attention. The plenary session emphasized that all achievements of reform and modernization must bring tangible benefits to every citizen. The Chinese leadership consistently implements the "people first" concept, advancing large-scale programs to improve healthcare, education, employment, and social security. The targeted poverty reduction policy has already gone down in history as one of the most impressive achievements of the modern world.

Significant emphasis has been placed on modernizing new productive forces and developing an innovative and sustainable economy. Objectives have been set to strengthen technological independence, develop key industries, enhance the role of the private sector, and create conditions for the free flow of knowledge, talent, and investment. The new five-year plan will be built around high-quality growth, with a priority being the harmony between innovation, safety, and the environment.

The plenary session also focused on environmental and sustainable development issues. China is firmly moving toward carbon neutrality, actively developing green technologies and improving industrial energy efficiency. Environmental protection programs are making China a leader in the global "green transformation."

Equally important was strengthening the cultural and spiritual foundations of society. The plenary session's decisions emphasized the need to promote socialist values, preserve national identity, and enhance the richness of Chinese civilization. Culture is viewed not only as a symbol of identity but also as a powerful force uniting the people in their pursuit of great rejuvenation.

Issues of national security, stability, and public governance have also been thoroughly addressed. The Communist Party of China is consistently strengthening its national defense system, modernizing its armed forces, and simultaneously focusing on developing peace initiatives. China continues to adhere to the principle of peaceful development, actively participates in building a community with a shared future for mankind, and makes a significant contribution to global stability and prosperity.

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee marked a crucial milestone on the path to realizing the "Great Chinese Dream"—the dream of a prosperous, strong, just, and harmonious society. The decisions taken determine China's future development not only for the next five years but for decades to come. Today, China stands on the threshold of a new stage, one in which its accumulated experience, scientific and technological potential, and the strength of its people's unity make the country an inspiring example for the world.

BEIJING, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) — A new round of China-US economic and trade talks that concluded Sunday in Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur once again demonstrated that dialogue and cooperation remain the right path for both countries.

During the talks, guided by the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during telephone conversations since the beginning of this year, the two sides had a frank, in-depth and constructive exchange of views on important trade and economic issues of mutual interest, including the US measures under Section 301 of the Trade Act with respect to China's maritime, logistics and shipbuilding sectors, the extension of the suspension of mutual tariffs, cooperation on fentanyl-related tariffs and enforcement, agricultural trade and export controls.

Both sides agreed to work out specific details and go through internal approval procedures in each country.

Head-of-state diplomacy plays an indispensable strategic role in managing relations between China and the United States. In recent months, guided by the important consensus reached between the two leaders, trade and economic teams from both sides have held several rounds of consultations and reached positive agreements.

These agreements reflect the spirit of equality, respect and mutual benefit and help guide the trade and economic relations between China and the United States towards healthy, stable and sustainable development.

This fully demonstrates that, in order to ensure that the two giant ships of China and the United States sail forward together without deviating from course or losing speed, it is crucial to unswervingly adhere to the strategic guidance of the heads of state of the two countries and fully implement the important consensus reached by them.

The essence of trade and economic relations between China and the United States is mutual benefit and win-win. When both sides cooperate, they both benefit; when they oppose each other, they both lose. China and the United States have extensive common interests and ample room for cooperation; they have established a complementary and mutually beneficial model in trade and economic relations.

As the world's two largest economies, China and the United States engage in trade and economic exchanges characterized by vast scale, rich content, broad scope, and diversity of stakeholders. Disagreements naturally arise. When disagreements and frictions arise, both sides should adhere to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation and seek appropriate solutions to address each other's concerns through equal dialogue and consultation.

Maintaining stable development of trade and economic relations between the two countries serves the fundamental interests of both countries and their peoples, as well as the expectations of the international community.

Tariff and trade wars serve no one's interests. China has always responsibly adhered to the fundamental principle of resolving disputes through dialogue and consultation and has held numerous rounds of negotiations with the US to stabilize bilateral trade and economic relations.

During this round of talks, both sides agreed, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, to make full use of the mechanism of China-US trade and economic consultations, maintain close communication on relevant concerns in the trade and economic field, and promote the healthy, stable and sustainable development of bilateral trade and economic relations, so as to benefit the peoples of the two countries and promote global prosperity.

China and the United States are fully capable of achieving mutual success and shared prosperity, which will benefit both countries and the entire world. The progress achieved in the negotiations was not easy and must be jointly protected.

The two sides expressed hope that the United States and China will move toward each other to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and the results of trade and economic negotiations, continue to strengthen mutual trust, resolve differences, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, and take bilateral trade and economic relations to new heights.
