URUMQI, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) — Since the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has been actively promoting investment, aiming to build distinctive advantageous industrial clusters. The region's actual investment from other regions and abroad increased from 542.993 billion yuan (about 76.42 billion U.S. dollars) in 2021 to 935.526 billion yuan in 2024, an average annual growth rate of 19.98 percent, injecting new impetus into local economic development.

According to the Xinjiang Regional Commerce Department, in recent years, Xinjiang authorities have implemented policies and measures to promote high-quality investment promotion and made every effort to build an "Invest in Xinjiang" brand, relying on five unique advantages such as policies and resources to attract domestic and foreign enterprises to invest in the region.

In recent years, Xinjiang has made significant progress in building the "Invest in Xinjiang" brand and promoting trade facilitation. Local authorities continued to implement investment promotion and industry connectivity initiatives at home and abroad, supporting enterprises in participating in major exhibitions such as the China-Eurasia Expo, and facilitating the implementation of more industrial and supply chain projects. Focusing on analyzing and identifying specific and advantageous manufacturing industries, Xinjiang authorities compiled a reserve project bank of over 1,500 projects and selected 146 key projects for effective investment promotion.

Bishkek, September 30 (Xinhua) — Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov signed a decree calling early elections for members of the Zhogorku Kenesh (parliament). According to the decree, the elections will be held on November 30, 2025, the president's official website reported on Tuesday.

According to the decree, the Central Commission for Elections and Referendums of Kyrgyzstan is instructed to organize elections in accordance with the country's legislation and implement remote voting.

Meanwhile, the country's cabinet of ministers has been instructed to allocate the necessary financial resources for the elections, take measures to ensure the rule of law, the rights and freedoms of citizens, and the protection of public order, as well as to clarify data from the Unified State Population Register to compile accurate voter lists.

The Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic must ensure compliance with the Constitution and laws of Kyrgyzstan when preparing and conducting elections.

On September 25, members of the Kyrgyz Parliament voted to dissolve the Legislative Assembly. The proposal was put forward by an initiative group of 32 members. As MP Ulan Primov explained, there is a short period of time between two important political events—the presidential and parliamentary elections—and so, in order to strengthen the political system and stability in the country, the initiative group proposed that parliament voluntarily resign.

The Zhogorku Kenesh (Federal Assembly) is Kyrgyzstan's unicameral parliament, consisting of 90 members elected for five-year terms. According to the initial schedule, Kyrgyzstan's parliamentary elections were scheduled for November 2026, but presidential elections are scheduled for just two months later, in January 2027.

As Parliament Speaker Nurlanbek Turgunbek uulu previously stated, despite the self-dissolution, the powers of the current convocation's deputies will remain in effect until new deputies are elected, and if necessary, an extraordinary session will be convened.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he would impose a 100 percent tariff on all films produced outside the country.

"Our film production business has been stolen from the United States of America by other countries, like 'candy stolen from a child,'" he wrote on the social network Truth Social. "Therefore, to solve this long-standing and never-ending problem, I will impose a 100 percent tariff on all films made outside the United States," he added.

Trump did not specify when the measure would be adopted, nor how his administration would calculate the cost of the film or how the tariff would apply to films partially shot abroad, local media reported on Monday.

In early May, the head of the White House threatened to impose a 100 percent tariff on all foreign-made films entering the United States.

“The film industry in America is dying very quickly,” he wrote at the time in Truth Social, complaining that other countries were “offering all sorts of incentives to lure” filmmakers and studios away from the US. –0–
