Beijing, September 24 (Xinhua) — During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), China succeeded in significantly reducing the number of industrial accidents and improving the effectiveness of disaster response measures, according to a press conference on emergency management on Wednesday.

Emergency Management Minister Wang Xiangxi said that by 2024, the number of fatalities from occupational safety accidents nationwide has decreased by 28.4 percent compared to the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-2020).

According to him, in 2024, the number of major and especially major incidents dropped to single digits for the first time, which is 43.8 percent less than at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan.

Wang Xiangxi also noted that in the 2021-2024 period, all key indicators of natural disasters have significantly decreased compared to the previous five-year period: the average annual numbers of victims, fatalities, and missing persons, as well as direct economic losses relative to GDP, decreased by 31.3 percent, 23 percent, and 34.3 percent, respectively.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, China's efforts to prevent industrial accidents became more thorough, and the country's response to natural disaster emergencies proved more effective, Wang Xiangxi added.

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the central government allocated nearly 60 billion yuan (approximately US$8.44 billion) in government bond funds to implement projects to strengthen disaster response capacity. Thus, the construction of six regional emergency response centers was largely completed across the country.

BEIJING, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) — An international team of researchers has revealed for the first time the presence of water and its distribution on the surface and subsurface of the Moon using data collected by China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe.

The study, published in the journal Nature Astronomy, highlighted the important role of solar wind and the impact of comets or meteorites in the mechanisms and evolutionary processes that determine the formation and distribution of water on the lunar surface.

Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), together with colleagues from the University of Hawaii, analyzed data obtained at the Chang'e-6 landing site. They discovered that zones of fine-grained regolith, where the spacecraft's thrusters swept away some of the layer during its landing, exhibit characteristic patterns in temperature distribution and water content, caused by the redistribution of the fine-grained regolith layer.

These jets from the lander's engines, which displace and expose a layer of regolith between 1 mm and 1 cm during descent, provide a rare opportunity to study subsurface waters.

According to the study, the water content of exposed fine-grained regolith in the shallow subsurface averages approximately 76 ppm, which is lower than the surface content of about 105 ppm.

In addition, the Chang'e-6 landing site contains, on average, approximately twice as much water as the Chang'e-5 landing site.

As a reminder, in 2024, the Chang'e-6 lunar mission became the first in human history to collect samples from the far side of the Moon within the South Pole-Aitken Basin (SPA). In 2020, the Chinese probe Chang'e-5 landed in the northwestern part of the Oceanus tempestus on the visible side of the Moon and returned lunar soil samples to Earth.

A team of scientists found that water content at the same location varied depending on the local time of day, reaching a minimum at local midday.

The researchers suggest that differences in water content correlate with regolith composition, particle size, rock depth, and local time of day, supporting the hypothesis that solar wind action and impact plowing from meteorites or comets drive the evolutionary processes of water formation and distribution on the Moon.

These results indicate that fine-grained regolith on the lunar surface and immediately beneath it may be a prime target for future exploitation of lunar surface water resources.

China's Chang'e-8 lunar probe, scheduled for launch in 2029, will explore Leibniz Beta Planum near the Moon's south pole. In collaboration with the earlier Chang'e-7 mission, scheduled for 2026, it will conduct scientific research and in-situ resource utilization experiments, laying the groundwork for a future international lunar research station.

China has initiated the creation of an international lunar research station, a scientific and experimental facility consisting of modules on the lunar surface and in lunar orbit. It is planned to be built in two stages: a basic model will be built by 2035 near the lunar south pole, and an expanded model will be completed in the 2040s. -0-

New York, September 24 (Xinhua) — The Global Governance Initiative proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping has provided guidance for reforming and improving global governance, and China is willing to cooperate with Austria to strengthen multilateral communication and coordination and jointly work to improve global governance. Chinese Premier Li Qiang, who is in New York to attend the general debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, made this statement on Tuesday during a meeting with Austrian Chancellor Christian Stoecker.

According to Li Qiang, since the two countries have always respected each other and treated each other as equals since the establishment of diplomatic relations, these relations have withstood the test of the changing international situation and have generally developed steadily.

In recent years, under the strategic leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen, the two sides have enriched aspects of their relations and elevated them to a friendly strategic partnership, Li Qiang noted, adding that bilateral cooperation has advanced in various fields, bringing tangible benefits to both sides.

China is willing to take the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations with Austria next year as an opportunity to intensify high-level exchanges, strengthen political mutual trust and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation so as to achieve more practical results, the Chinese Premier said.

Li Qiang also expressed hope that Austria will adhere to the one-China principle and make efforts to build a solid political foundation for bilateral relations.

He added that the economies of China and Austria have strong complementarity and numerous overlapping interests, which opens up broad opportunities and potential for deepening cooperation.

He said China is willing to continue to utilize bilateral exchange mechanisms, such as the joint commissions with Austria on economic and trade cooperation and scientific and technological cooperation, to promote the continuous expansion and modernization of bilateral trade.

Li Qiang called on both sides to strengthen cooperation in areas such as green transition and digital economy, and promote innovation, sustainable development and high-quality growth in industry.

The two sides should also expand cultural and people-to-people exchanges, promote personnel exchanges, and develop new areas of cooperation in culture and tourism, Li Qiang said.

He called on Austria to encourage the European Union to view China-EU relations from the perspective of strategic autonomy and a long-term perspective, pursue a positive and pragmatic China policy, and cooperate with China to safeguard multilateralism and free trade so as to bring greater benefits to China and the EU, as well as the rest of the world.

HEFEI, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) — Smart and high-tech manufacturing is taking center stage in China, from new energy vehicles and smart robots to advanced photovoltaic technology and energy storage equipment.

Held from September 20th to 23rd in Hefei, capital of Anhui Province, East China, the World Manufacturing Industry Conference brought together these cutting-edge achievements for global participants.

"Anhui Province is focused on a wide range of advanced and emerging industries, including smart manufacturing, biomedicine, electric vehicles, and renewable energy. These areas are areas of collaboration in which the American business community can participate," said Noah Fraser, senior vice president of China operations at the US-China Business Council (USCBC), speaking at an event during the conference.

He added that USCBC member companies are inspired by the dynamism of Chinese firms, which are not only strong competitors, stimulating innovation and inspiring great R&D, but also valuable partners in their global strategies.

Representatives from 79 companies and institutions from 20 countries and regions also expressed strong expectations for cooperation with Anhui Province.

Carlo D'Andrea, Vice President of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China and Chairman of the Board of its Shanghai Office, said he looks forward to cooperation with Anhui in joint R&D, technology transfer and academic exchanges.

Multinational companies are already expanding their presence in Anhui Province. Stefano Petrilli, Head of Global Operations at Marelli Propulsion, recently visited the province. The century-old automotive components manufacturer is installing new production lines and launching new products in China to increase its capacity.

In his view, China's transformation from the "world's factory" to a "global innovation hub" has created unprecedented opportunities for foreign-invested enterprises like Marelli.

"Working in one of the most dynamic and rapidly changing mobility ecosystems in the world, we are seeing shorter production cycles, higher customer expectations, and constant waves of innovation," said C. Petrilli. Marelli currently operates eight R&D centers and 17 factories in China, employing approximately 5,000 people.

In January, the BSH Home Appliances Group subsidiary, located in Chuzhou, Anhui Province, was included in the first list of China's top-level excellence factories for its "lean collaborative intelligent factory for the entire value stream of high-end home appliances."

Established in 1995, the subsidiary has steadily expanded, and its site in Chuzhou has become one of the concern's largest production bases in the world.

BSH Home Appliances Group CEO Matthias Metz said its R&D center in China has further strengthened its capabilities, helping the country become a global innovation engine and a hub for the Group's highly skilled workforce, and that the company's goal is to develop the subsidiary in China into its global innovation engine.

Anhui's development trajectory reflects broader changes in China's manufacturing sector, which is moving beyond its established role as the "world's factory" to become a global innovation hub for advanced technologies.

Foreign companies are ramping up their investments across the country. In Shanghai, Tesla has begun production at its first energy storage system gigafactory outside the US, and the commercial batteries produced there will be shipped globally.

In Jiangsu Province (East China), BMW announced the establishment of its first information technology R&D center in China in Nanjing (the capital of Jiangsu Province, East China), which will focus on the development of intelligent driver assistance systems, intelligent cockpits, and intelligent interaction technologies.

From January to July 2025, 36,133 foreign-invested enterprises were established in China, a 14.1 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Actual foreign investment in high-tech industries reached 137.36 billion yuan (approximately $19.32 billion), according to official data.

China's continued opening-up measures also provide stronger guarantees for international innovation cooperation.

"You can see the ability of both local and provincial governments to attract new investment and promote innovation. Of course, innovation is one of the main reasons European companies operate in China," concluded Carlo D'Andrea. -0-
