OSLO, October 1 (Xinhua) — The United States will provide Denmark with counter-drone capabilities for the informal European Union (EU) summit on Wednesday and the European Political Community meeting on Thursday in Copenhagen, the Kingdom's Ministry of Defense announced on Tuesday.

European allies have also offered Denmark additional support. Germany has sent the frigate Hamburg to enhance airspace monitoring, France has sent a Fennec military helicopter and specialists, and Sweden will provide radar systems and counter-drone equipment. Ukraine has also offered to share its expertise to strengthen Denmark's defenses against UAV attacks, according to the Danish television channel DR.

Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen stated that allied assistance had been organized in recent days to ensure security during the meetings. He added that this support would enhance Denmark's ability to deploy resources as needed, in close coordination with the police.

In the lead-up to the summits, drone activity disrupted airport operations and led to increased security measures. On September 22, after drones were detected, Copenhagen Airport Kastrup temporarily closed its airspace for four hours, and on September 24, Aalborg Airport closed its airspace for several hours.

For security reasons, Denmark banned the launch of civilian drones throughout the country from September 29 to October 3.

From July to December 2025, the Kingdom will chair the Council of the EU. –0–

BEIJING, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) — China is encouraging its cities to take comprehensive measures to create an internationalized consumer environment that provides convenience and comfort for foreign visitors.

According to a notice released Tuesday by China's Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Commerce, 15 pilot cities will be selected this year to receive targeted funding from the central budget for work related to optimizing the consumer environment at the local level.

According to the document, the 15 pilot cities must be those with high potential for consumption growth and typically hosting large numbers of foreign tourists. The list of 15 cities will be approved following a competitive selection process and will be announced later.

According to the document, the new policy aims to further expand the supply of high-quality consumer goods and services, optimize payment services related to foreign bank cards for foreign tourists, and improve multilingual services.

The financial support will range from 100 million yuan (about 14 million US dollars) to 200 million yuan for each pilot city during the two-year policy implementation period, according to the report.

Specifically, the funds will be used to promote the reconstruction and renovation of key shopping malls in pilot cities, diversify consumption scenarios, improve tax refund services for foreign travelers leaving China, optimize payment services by expanding the coverage of POS systems that accept payments using foreign bank cards, and improve multilingual services in key locations such as scenic areas, hotels, airports, and railway stations, the document notes. -0-

WASHINGTON, October 1 (Xinhua) — The U.S. federal government announced a government shutdown early Wednesday after partisan disagreements prevented Congress from passing a funding bill. This is the first government shutdown in nearly seven years.

Hundreds of thousands of federal employees will be forced to take unpaid leave, which could disrupt or delay some government services and impact the release of economic data.

The shutdown began hours after the US Senate failed to pass a short-term spending bill that would have temporarily kept the government running. The resolution, proposed by Senate Republicans, was blocked by Democrats, failing to secure the 60 votes needed for passage.

Earlier Tuesday, Republicans and Democrats traded accusations over who led the government into the shutdown. –0–

BEIJING, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) — The China National Space Administration (CNSA) on Wednesday released a stunning image of the Tianwen-2 probe with Earth, taken during the orbital phase of the spacecraft's flight.

A newly released image taken by the camera mounted on the probe's robotic arm clearly shows China's five-star red flag and the white return capsule against the distant blue backdrop of Earth.

The Tianwen-2 probe is currently approximately 43 million km from Earth and 45 million km from asteroid 2016HO3, the CNSA reported.

The probe successfully completed a series of in-orbit tests, including the installation of sample collection devices and a self-check of its electronic equipment. According to the CNSA, all systems are operating normally, and the onboard instruments have begun collecting valuable scientific data on the space environment.

Tianwen-2, launched on May 29 of this year, is designed to collect and return asteroid samples to Earth. This mission is China's attempt to shed light on the formation and evolution of asteroids and the early solar system.

The Tianwen-2 mission consists of several tasks that will be carried out over the course of a ten-year expedition, including collecting soil samples from the near-Earth asteroid 2016HO3 and exploring the main-belt comet 311P, which is located beyond Mars. -0-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the administration would fire "a lot of people" if there was a government shutdown, blaming Democrats for the current impasse in funding talks.

"The Democrats want to shut down the government. And when that happens, you have to fire people," the president told reporters at the White House.

"This shutdown is because of Donald Trump. He's the one causing it," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, reposting a video of Trump.

On Tuesday, the American leader accused Democrats of insisting on providing free health care to illegal immigrants. Vice President J.D. Vance, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and Republican senators also made the accusation.

In his Senate testimony on Tuesday, Charles Schumer said too many Republicans are lying about the Democrats' position.

"The law prohibits undocumented immigrants from receiving Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA (Affordable Care Act). Not a cent of the federal budget goes toward this," he said.

The federal government will shut down at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday (local time) unless the U.S. Congress approves a federal spending bill. Republicans, who currently hold 53 seats in the Senate, need the support of at least seven Democrats in the upper chamber to pass the bill.

Vienna, October 1 (Xinhua) — The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) is facing a precarious nuclear safety situation after being without external power for more than a week, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on Tuesday.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said the agency is working with both Russia and Ukraine to facilitate the speedy restoration of off-site power supply to the Zaporizhzhya NPP.

On September 23, Zaporizhzhya NPP lost power for the tenth time due to damage to its only high-voltage line caused by military action. Emergency diesel generators then automatically resumed operation, providing power to the safety systems and cooling systems for the six Zaporizhzhya NPP reactors and the spent fuel.

"Although the plant is currently coping with the emergency diesel generators—the last line of defense—and there is no immediate danger as long as they continue to operate, it is clear that this is an unsustainable situation from a nuclear safety perspective. Neither side would benefit from a nuclear accident," warned R. Grossi.

N. Snopkov noted that China has achieved impressive success in eradicating poverty, ensuring a happy life for millions of people. This unprecedented achievement demonstrates the powerful strategic leadership of China's leaders, as well as the hard work and wisdom of the Chinese people.

The exhibition was organized by the Chinese Embassy in Belarus, the Minsk branch of Xinhua, and China Image Group to present the international community with a true picture of Xizang's development. The exhibition was held as part of a reception hosted by the Chinese Embassy to commemorate the 76th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
