WUHAN, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) — A report released Friday showed significant progress China has made in ecological protection along the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

The document, titled "A Mighty River Nurtures a Great Nation – Achievements, Inspirations and Global Significance of Yangtze River Governance in the New Era," was released by Xinhua Institute, a think tank affiliated with the Xinhua News Agency, as part of the ongoing Great Rivers Dialogue 2025 in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province.

It notes that 11 provincial-level regions along the Yangtze River Economic Belt, which accounts for half of China's population and GDP, have seen historic changes in environmental protection.

In recent years, China has prioritized environmental protection along the Yangtze River, which is one of the country's most important ecological treasures, the report said.

Pollution control campaigns are curbing environmental degradation in the region. According to the report, the proportion of surface water classified as Classes I-III on a five-tier scale in the Yangtze River basin has increased from 82.3 percent in 2016 to over 98 percent today, while water quality in the main river has remained at Class II for five consecutive years.

The region's aquatic biological resources and biodiversity are also recovering: 344 native fish species were recorded in the river basin between 2021 and 2024, 36 more than between 2017 and 2020.

The report also emphasizes the importance of coordinated efforts among provinces, cities and relevant departments, as well as steps to strengthen legislation, improve cooperation mechanisms and implement an environmental compensation system. -0-

NANJING, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) — At a massive, modern manufacturing facility in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, high-tech home appliances designed and manufactured by leading European home appliance maker BSH are quickly attracting visitors' attention.

These products include hoods with self-cleaning functions, new models of gas stoves and washing machines.

Welcoming a group of journalists who visited BSH's production base and R&D center in Nanjing earlier this month, Yao Yong, Chairman of BSH Electrical Appliances /Jiangsu/ Co., Ltd. (a BSH subsidiary), said BSH, which produces home appliances for renowned brands such as Bosch and Siemens, began its growth journey in the Chinese market more than three decades ago.

As a leading global manufacturer of household appliances, BSH first entered the Chinese market in 1994. Through continuous investment and production expansion, the company has gradually established a comprehensive service network in the country, as well as two production bases in Chuzhou (Anhui Province, eastern China) and Nanjing.

While sharing details about the company with journalists, Yao Yong highlighted the BSH Global R&D Center, which opened in Nanjing in 2024, marking the company's 30th anniversary in China. According to Yao Yong, as BSH's largest comprehensive R&D center in the world, this facility is important both domestically and globally and will serve as an innovation engine, giving the company an edge in global competition through the development of innovative products.

He also said the opening of the center also reflects the company's recognition of the Chinese market's enormous consumer potential, as well as the country's abundance of highly skilled labor and innovation.

"China is an innovation plateau," Yao Yong noted, explaining that in addition to the automotive industry and artificial intelligence, the country's innovations are also consistently evident in the home appliance industry.

Yao Yong said that the center has established in-depth cooperation with many Jiangsu universities, including Nanjing University, Southeast University, and Jiangnan University, and such cooperation has helped the company improve both its R&D level and product quality.

"Our confidence in long-term development in China has been further strengthened. We hope that through our efforts we can create and produce more high-quality products for Chinese consumers," Yao Yong stated.

According to Chen Chao, CEO of BSH Electrical Appliances /Jiangsu/ Co., Ltd., opportunities associated with rising consumption in China and the country's consumer support policies, such as trade-in programs, will support the company's revenue growth. "With the same budget, consumers tend to choose more premium brands and seek higher quality. I believe that rising consumption in China will make our products more appealing to customers," Chen Chao emphasized.

Forecasting the expansion of the market, especially for high-end home appliances, Chen Chao added that the company is trying to take advantage of the relevant measures of the Chinese government, making appropriate adjustments and taking advantage of the benefits these measures can bring to the company.

Yao Yun shares this opinion, stating that BSH products are fully aligned with the "rising level of consumption." "BSH offers products from the mid-to-high-end to the top luxury segment. For example, the Bosch brand focuses on family health and quality of life, while Siemens emphasizes advanced technologies and scientific and technological innovation."

Regarding production cost control, both Yao Yong and Chen Chao believe the strength of the Chinese supply chain has given the company an advantage in global competition. Currently, the Nanjing subsidiary sources most of its raw materials and components within China.

“From a supply chain perspective, China offers cost advantages in terms of raw materials, and this gives us an advantage in terms of controlling production costs compared to our global competitors,” Chen Chao noted.

A favorable local business climate is also crucial for the company's development. For example, the site selection, construction, project application, and administrative approval for the R&D center went very smoothly thanks to the support of local authorities, Chen Chao noted.

"Nanjing is fertile ground for investment and business development. We see that the city administration and local district government are truly open and effective," Yao Yong stated. "Responding to every request and not interfering when unnecessary has become a hallmark of the services provided by local authorities," he concluded. -0-

Geneva, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) — China's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva Chen Xu called on all parties to improve global human rights governance at the 60th session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on Thursday.

Speaking on behalf of nearly 80 countries, he noted that multilateralism faces serious challenges, emphasizing that the UN80 process, launched to mark the UN's 80th anniversary, provides an opportunity to advance reforms that can improve efficiency, simplify procedures, eliminate duplication and enhance transparency.

Chen Xu put forward a five-point proposal. First, sovereign equality must be upheld. All countries, regardless of size, power, wealth, or poverty, have the right to participate in global governance, make decisions in this area, and benefit from it equally.

Secondly, the principle of the rule of law in international relations must be upheld. International law must be applied equally and uniformly, and double standards must be avoided.

Third, multilateralism must be practiced. Efforts must be made to consult, contribute jointly, and achieve shared benefits, while opposing unilateralism.

Fourth, we must advocate for a people-centered approach. All categories of human rights must be promoted in a balanced manner.

Fifth, we must focus on action and effectiveness. Concrete results are needed to improve global human rights governance and move together toward a brighter future of peace, security, prosperity, and progress.
