The direction of global capital flows is always considered a "barometer" of economic confidence.

Recently, a number of data points have clearly highlighted the trend of international capital moving "eastward": according to a report from the Institute of International Finance (IIF), foreign investors poured nearly $45 billion into emerging markets in August, a new year-high, with the vast majority of this flowing into the Chinese market. Bloomberg also noted that global capital is accelerating its influx into the Chinese market, with foreign investor interest in A-shares reaching its highest level in recent years.

The current influx of international capital into China is driven by confidence in the Chinese economy. Macroeconomic stability, policy continuity, and the certainty of China's industrial renewal have enabled the country to demonstrate outstanding results amid global upheavals.

Over the past year, deliberately pessimistic rumors about the Chinese economy have been rampant on the international stage. However, facts speak louder than words.

China has not only weathered numerous challenges, such as declining external demand and geopolitical conflicts, but also continues to steadily advance along the path of high-quality development. Exports of the "new trinity"—new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic technologies—continue to lead the world. Innovative breakthroughs are continually being achieved in cutting-edge fields such as large-scale artificial intelligence models, humanoid robots, and biomanufacturing.

China demonstrates predictable and consistent political resolve. This creates a solid foundation for foreign investors' confidence, allowing them to dispel short-term doubts and assess China's long-term value.

It's important to note that this time, the logic behind foreign capital inflows has already changed. As Morgan Stanley points out, Chinese companies have already established leading positions globally in many niche segments. If international capital wants to participate in the new industrial revolution, it must delve deeper into the Chinese market to find its "right place."

As protectionism disrupts global production and supply chains, China consistently holds high the banner of multilateralism, firmly defends free trade, and promotes an open global economy. From the Belt and Road Initiative, which promotes connectivity, to the Global Development Initiative, which focuses on shared prosperity, China is bringing stability to the global economy through concrete actions.

The influx of international capital into China is driven not only by optimism about the potential of China's large market of 1.4 billion people, but also by recognition of China's role as a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, and a defender of international order.

Moscow, October 13 (Xinhua) — China will establish a Global Center for Women's Potential Development to cultivate even more outstanding female talent and is willing to share its positive experience in advocating for women's rights. The initiatives put forward by Chinese leader Xi Jinping demonstrate the country's commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This is how Ekaterina Zaklyazminskaya, head of the Center for World Politics and Strategic Analysis at the Institute of China and Modern Asia of the Russian Academy of Sciences, commented on Monday on Chinese President Xi Jinping's speech at the opening ceremony of the Global Women's Summit in Beijing.

"China is ready to share its own positive experience in the fight for gender equality. At the opening of the Global Women's Summit, the Chinese leader announced a number of initiatives aimed at supporting women's development. The proposed financial assistance and special women's educational programs will open new opportunities for more than 50,000 women worldwide," Zaklyazminskaya noted in an interview with Xinhua.

In his opening speech at the Global Women's Summit, Xi Jinping emphasized that China actively promotes international exchanges and cooperation for women within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. He announced that China would provide US$100 million from the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund to jointly implement cooperation projects with international organizations aimed at the development of women and girls; launch 1,000 small but socially significant projects to improve public welfare, with women and girls as the priority beneficiaries; invite 50,000 women to participate in exchanges and training courses in China; and establish a "Global Women's Capacity Development Center" to promote cooperation with interested countries and international organizations in the field of women's capacity development.

According to E. Zaklyazminskaya, support for women and girls at the global level “demonstrates China’s commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.”

The Global Women's Summit is taking place in China on October 13-14. It aims to give new impetus to advancing gender equality and women's comprehensive development, as well as to foster the formation of a community with a shared future for humanity.

Moscow, October 13 (Xinhua) — Russia increased oil production by 148,000 barrels per day (bpd) in September 2025 to 9.321 million bpd, though the volume was 94,000 bpd below plan, taking into account voluntary cuts. This was reported on Monday by TASS, citing a report from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

According to the document, Russia was supposed to produce 9.415 million bpd in September, including compensation for overproduction in previous periods and voluntary restrictions. Actual production in August was also 86,000 bpd below the agreed-upon level.

Currently, oil production in Russia is regulated by the OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) agreement. From the beginning of 2024 to March 2025, Russia's base quota, including voluntary restrictions, was 8.978 million bpd, excluding compensation for excess production.

Since April 2025, Russia has begun a gradual increase in production in accordance with the OPEC plan. Initially, the production recovery was scheduled to last until September 2026, but amid favorable oil market conditions, the pace of production growth has accelerated.

As Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stated earlier, in September Russia produced oil close to the established OPEC quota. –0–

BEIJING, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) — China's recent measures to control the export of rare earth metals and related products have nothing to do with Pakistan, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Monday.

As he noted, the introduction of these measures is a justified practice of the Chinese government, aimed at improving its own export control system in accordance with laws and regulations.

Lin Jian made the remarks at a regular briefing, commenting on media reports that Pakistan, using Chinese equipment and technology, is allegedly exporting rare earth elements to the United States, which has prompted China to impose strict new export controls on technology related to rare earth metals.

Lin Jian noted that China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic cooperative partners, and their unwavering friendship has only grown stronger over the years. He stated that the two countries have always maintained a high level of strategic mutual trust and close communication on key issues affecting their shared interests.

"As far as I know, China and Pakistan have been in contact regarding cooperation in the mineral resources sector between Pakistan and the United States. The Pakistani side emphasized that its interaction with the American side will never harm China's interests or China-Pakistan cooperation," a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson reported.

Lin Jian stated that the mineral samples shown and presented by Pakistani leaders to their American counterparts were uncut gemstones purchased by Pakistani officials. "These media reports are either based on a misunderstanding of the facts, are based on rumors, or are aimed at sowing discord. They are completely unfounded," the Chinese diplomat emphasized.

Lin Jian added that export control measures are aimed at more effectively protecting world peace and regional stability, as well as fulfilling international obligations, including obligations on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. –0–
