Changchun, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) — As of Dec. 29, the passenger flow in both directions through the Hunchun checkpoint on the China-Russia border in Northeast China's Jilin Province exceeded 700,000 people, hitting a new all-time high, according to the local border control agency.

Over the same period, the volume of goods imported and exported through the Hunchun checkpoint increased by 38.1 percent year-on-year, while the number of vehicles crossing the border increased by 28.4 percent.

As the only land border crossing on the Chinese-Russian border in Jilin Province, the Hunchun checkpoint is connected to Vladivostok, Zarubino, Posyet, and other Russian towns by direct transport. Since the introduction of a mutual visa-free regime between China and Russia, there has been a significant increase in passenger traffic through this checkpoint.

"With a strong focus on policy implementation and service improvement, we are dynamically monitoring changes in passenger traffic, continuously optimizing the inspection process, and making every effort to ensure smooth customs clearance for passengers, so as to provide reliable support for cross-border tourism and trade and economic cooperation between China and Russia," the Hunchun Border Control Service stated. -0-

Moscow/Kyiv, December 30 (Xinhua) — Kyiv launched an attack using 91 UAVs on Russian President Vladimir Putin's state residence in the Novgorod region on the night of December 29. All drones were destroyed, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, however, dismissed the accusations as yet another Russian lie.

"On the night of December 28-29, the Kyiv regime launched a terrorist attack using 91 long-range strike drones on the Russian presidential residence in the Novgorod region. All drones were destroyed by the air defense systems of the Russian Armed Forces," he said.

The minister noted that there were no reports of casualties or damage from the UAV debris. He also emphasized that the attack was carried out "during intensive negotiations between Russia and the United States to resolve the Ukrainian conflict." "Such reckless actions will not go unanswered. The targets for retaliatory strikes and the timing of their implementation by the Russian Armed Forces have been determined," the minister assured. "At the same time, we do not intend to withdraw from the negotiation process with the United States."

According to Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov, Vladimir Putin very clearly stated to US President Donald Trump that Russia's position in the negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine would be revised in connection with the state terrorism carried out by Kiev in the form of the attack on the residence.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denied the allegations of an attack on Monday, calling them "yet another lie from the Russian Federation." He said such statements are aimed at justifying Russia's attacks on Ukraine, including strikes on the capital, as well as Moscow's refusal to take the necessary steps to end the crisis. They are simply paving the way for strikes on the capital and, likely, government buildings, he said.

"This alleged story about a strike on the residence is fabricated," Zelenskyy said. He emphasized that Ukraine does not take steps that could undermine diplomatic efforts, but Russia always does.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha wrote on the social media site X that Russia's manipulations regarding the alleged attempted attack on Vladimir Putin's residence were fabricated with only one purpose: to create a pretext and false justification for further Russian attacks on Ukraine, as well as to undermine and hinder the peace process. Kyiv calls on the world to condemn Russia's provocative statements and remains committed to peace efforts, the Foreign Minister stated.

Beijing, December 30 (Xinhua) — The final round of the 5th A.I.

On December 20, the annual Global Times forum, titled "The World Can Trust China: New Path, New Opportunities," took place in Beijing. Forum participants discussed the role of a forward-looking state and the importance of its predictability for the global community.

Wu Xinbo, Dean of the Institute of International Studies at Fudan University, noted that China's development is a process of constant exploration. While this process has not been without challenges, China has demonstrated clarity of purpose and a high level of execution, allowing it to determine the development directions of future industries and trends in international cooperation, thereby earning increasing trust worldwide.

Wu Xinbo emphasized that this year, the international community has been particularly vocal in comparing China and the United States. During his conversations with American officials, he noted that their assessments of China primarily boil down to three aspects.

First, China has clear goals and directions for the next five years, strong executive capacity, and everything proposed can be achieved. In contrast, US policy often fluctuates due to changes in ruling parties, making it difficult to maintain continuity in long-term planning.

Second, successes in projects like DeepSeek have shown many Americans that China not only has manufacturing superiority, but is also capable of making technological breakthroughs and driving economic development through the large-scale commercial application of advanced technologies.

Third, in the area of new energy, many Americans, especially Democrats, believe that China is already at the forefront of global development, while the United States lags behind. They believe the energy sector is tied to a country's competitiveness and economic status. This is precisely why some Americans are concerned, and in some cases even envious, of China.

When comparing China and the United States, Wu Xinbo believes that many in American society not only find it difficult to judge the trend for the next five years, but they are even worried about the political, economic and social situation in the next three years.

Furthermore, since Trump's rise to power, some aspects of the US policy have become regressive, including a focus on unilateralism, the promotion of protectionist tariffs, and an increased emphasis on traditional energy. This has led many abroad to believe that the US is making a strategic mistake in choosing its national development path.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump said Monday he would seek to quickly launch the second phase of the Gaza peace plan, stressing that disarming Hamas would be a central condition.

"Very quickly, as quickly as we can, but there must be disarmament," he told reporters while welcoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The president also emphasized that reconstruction of the Gaza Strip could begin "very soon."

The second phase of the peace plan calls for a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, the disarmament of Hamas, the beginning of reconstruction and the establishment of a transitional governing body in the Palestinian enclave.

Gaza health authorities reported on Saturday that the death toll among Palestinians since October 2023 has reached 71,266, with another 171,219 injured.

Since October 10, when the current ceasefire agreement took effect, 414 Palestinians have been killed and another 1,142 injured. –0–
