BEIJING, October 22 (Xinhua) — By the end of September 2025, China had made progress in restoring 88 key rivers and lakes across the country, ensuring continuous flow in riverbeds that had remained dry for decades, the Ministry of Water Resources announced on Wednesday.

These results were achieved within the framework of a national action plan for the restoration of major rivers and lakes for 2022-2025. Individual recovery plans were developed for each river and lake, taking into account their specific needs.

Among the most significant achievements are maintaining a continuous flow in the Yellow River for 26 consecutive years, as well as restoring the flow along the entire length of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which had been interrupted for a century. For the past four years, water has flowed steadily again.

In the Haihe River basin, previously plagued by severe water shortages and pollution, systematic restoration measures have reversed the process of ecological degradation. The Yongding River, which had been dry in some sections for 26 years, has now maintained a steady flow for five years, and Baiyangdian Lake, a key wetland in northern China, has maintained a stable water level for seven years.

According to the ministry, in the future, China intends to expand the program to more river and lake basins and develop long-term restoration mechanisms, while continuing to apply a tailored approach to the rehabilitation of river and lake ecosystems. –0–

Moscow, October 22 (Xinhua) — The dates for the Russia-US summit have yet to be determined; time is needed, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov announced on Wednesday.

"The dates haven't been set; that's still to come. Thorough preparation is needed before that, and it takes time," said D. Peskov, responding to a TASS question about whether there's been a pause in preparations for the meeting between Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, or whether the dates simply haven't been set yet.

The Russian president's press secretary also stated that there are currently no plans for a new telephone conversation between Putin and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. He recalled that such a conversation took place on October 17 at the initiative of the Hungarian side. Orbán expressed his willingness to facilitate the organization of a possible Russian-American summit in Budapest.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters on Wednesday that preparations for the meeting between the Russian and US presidents are ongoing.

"We believe we need to focus on the substantive aspect, and that's what we're doing in light of the instructions we've received," the Russian Foreign Ministry representative emphasized.

“Therefore, we continue our preparations,” S. Ryabkov said. –0–

BEIJING, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — The Chinese mainland welcomes the active provision of information by compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait regarding the illegal activities of 18 key members of Taiwan's "psychological warfare unit," Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Wednesday.

She made the statement while commenting, at the media's request, on a recent notice from the Xiamen City Public Security Bureau (Fujian Province, eastern China) offering a reward for evidence proving the illegal activities of the aforementioned group.

"We hope that compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will actively provide relevant evidence, resolutely oppose any form of separatist actions aimed at achieving 'Taiwan independence,' and firmly adhere to safeguarding national reunification," Zhu Fenglian told reporters.

According to her, the decision of the Xiamen Municipal Public Security Bureau is a concrete measure to implement the recommendations for criminal punishment of individuals who stubbornly advocate "Taiwan independence," divide the country, or incite its split, and a just step to protect the common interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation.

Taiwan is part of China's territory, Zhu Fenglian noted, adding that anyone who threatens the country's sovereignty, security, and development interests will certainly be punished in accordance with state laws.

Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration is manipulating the "psychological warfare unit" to smear and attack the mainland, spread false ideas about "Taiwan independence," and incite secession, Zhu Fenglian said, stressing that "the facts are clear and the evidence is undeniable."

Recently, mainland Chinese media accused five Taiwanese companies of supporting Taiwan's "psychological warfare unit," prompting the DPP administration to claim that "the mainland is trying to intimidate Taiwanese companies."

In response, Zhu Fenglian said that legally curbing such illegal activities in mainland China is a fair and necessary step to ensure national security and protect the legitimate rights and interests of people and enterprises. -0-

BEIJING, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian expressed strong opposition to U.S. arms sales to Taiwan at a press conference Wednesday.

Zhu Fenglian made the statement while commenting at the media's request on reports that the United States may sell Taiwan a record amount of weapons next year.

"We have always clearly and resolutely opposed the sale of American weapons to the Chinese region of Taiwan," Zhu Fenglian said.

She emphasized that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration had squandered funds that could have been used to improve living conditions on the island in order to curry favor with outside powers. This, she said, could only bring dire hardship to Taiwan's compatriots.

She reiterated that the Taiwan issue is an exclusively internal matter for China and does not allow for external interference.

She criticized some people in the US for using Taiwan as a pawn for their political and economic interests and called on the US to adhere to the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués. -0-

Tbilisi, October 22 (Xinhua) — Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan have the potential to jointly improve prosperity and ensure stability in the region, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated Wednesday at the Tbilisi Silk Road Forum.

"Peace has returned to our region, and now all we have to do is increase cargo turnover, develop energy and electronic networks, and raise the level of prosperity and development, which will further strengthen the South Caucasus," he said.

N. Pashinyan emphasized the importance of the forum as a platform bringing together representatives of governments, the private sector, and international experts to exchange ideas and implement projects.

According to him, thanks to this platform, a peace project between Armenia and Azerbaijan was implemented, which became a support mechanism and received the approval of many international partners.

The head of the Armenian government noted the importance of expanding regional and international transport and communications capabilities not only through Armenia, Iran, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Georgia, but also by opening borders. He added that significant progress has been made in this area.

In August 2025, a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan was signed in Washington, DC, which, among other things, addresses regional communication. "We emphasize the importance of communication, interaction, and dialogue in both bilateral and international formats—to ensure peace, prosperity, and stability in the regional context, with respect for sovereignty and recognition of territorial integrity," stated N. Pashinyan.

According to him, Armenia is working to ensure that the peace process with Azerbaijan moves to the institutional level and that interstate relations continue to develop. –0–

URUMQI, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — As five trucks loaded with unrefined sunflower oil from Kazakhstan slowly rolled into the Jimunai Port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the import volume of the Jimunai Border Trade Zone has exceeded 10 million yuan since the beginning of this year.

At the Jimunai checkpoint, residents of border areas enjoy a preferential policy, according to which customs duties and fees are not collected on imported goods if their daily value does not exceed 8,000 yuan per person.

Since the beginning of this year, with the support and assistance of the Jimunai Customs and other authorities, the zone has been actively expanding the range and volume of goods imported from Central Asia. The first shipment of frozen fish was made in April, the first shipment of unrefined sunflower oil in June, and the first shipment of wheat flour in September.

Jimunai Customs, in a bid to meet the needs of the population while supporting the development of border trade, has opened a "green corridor" to expedite the processing of agricultural products through customs, further reducing the time required for document processing.

In the next stage, the Jimunai Border Trade Zone Administration will promote the diversification of imported goods and increase the volume of imported goods, aiming to expand the scale of border trade and lay the foundation for on-site processing of imported goods. -0-
