During the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a group of foreign friends of different faiths and races traveled great distances to war-torn China. On the main battlefield in the East during the World Anti-Fascist War, they, together with the Chinese people, wrote a majestic chapter about the victory of justice over evil, light over darkness, and progress over reaction.

On October 14, 1939, G.A. Kulishenko, leading a bomber group of the volunteer air force to aid China, raided the Japanese airfield in Hankou and inflicted serious damage on the Japanese army. On the way back, G.A. Kulishenko's plane was intercepted by the enemy, and one of the engines was shot down, as a result of which he was wounded in the chest and left shoulder. In order to protect the plane and people on the ground, the commander refused the parachute and made an emergency landing on the surface of the Yangtze River in the Chenjiaba area of Wanxian County, Sichuan Province. Two of his comrades swam to the shore, but the wounded Kulishenko was carried away by the current, and he died a heroic death at the age of 36. 20 days later, local residents found the pilot's body. They held a memorial service and funeral in his honor.

The Chinese and Russian peoples have cemented their deep friendship with their blood and lives, laying a solid foundation for Sino-Russian relations and a lasting friendship between the two peoples for many generations to come.

OSLO, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) — European Union (EU) foreign ministers gathered in Copenhagen on Saturday and unanimously called on the United States to reconsider its recent decision to revoke visas for Palestinian officials.

The US State Department said on Friday it was “denying and revoking visas for members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) ahead of the upcoming UN General Assembly.”

The meeting also discussed the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, but participants were deeply divided over whether to impose additional sanctions on Israel.

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas told a press conference that while member states generally agreed on the seriousness of the situation, consensus on specific measures had not yet been reached.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, who chaired the meeting, said more member states believe Israel is unlikely to change course without greater pressure.

Outside the meeting venue, protesters gathered calling for Denmark and the EU to take stronger action over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. –0–

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) — A cultural event recently held at the Chinese Embassy in the United States provided an opportunity to reminisce about the deep friendship forged between the Chinese and American peoples during the World Anti-Fascist War.

The event, titled “Experience China – A Symphony of Stories of Friendship between the Peoples of China and the United States,” was held on Wednesday evening in the innovative form of “symphony and immersive storytelling.”

An expert from the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Museum took the stage with Chris Magee, the grandson of John Magee, the American missionary who secretly filmed the Nanjing massacre. They presented a “dialogue through the lenses of two generations” to highlight the justice and peace captured on film.

Storytellers from China and the United States have collaborated to recount the dramatic story of the 1942 Doolittle Raid rescue, using as a plot point the one-cent coin given by navigator Charles Ozark to Chinese farmer Liao Shiyuan as a token of gratitude for saving his life.

Recalling the history of the Chinese and American peoples who fought side by side against fascism for peace and justice, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng called on everyone to pay tribute to history and remember the most important contributions made in the main eastern theater of war; pay tribute to the friendship and cherish the inseparable bonds formed between the two peoples in the fire of war; pay tribute to the future and create additional impetus for humanitarian contacts.

The Chinese Ambassador noted that relations between China and the United States are full of stories of friendship between peoples.

"We need to bring our peoples closer together, encourage and facilitate travel and people-to-people exchanges, and promote mutually beneficial cooperation, rather than sowing fear and hostility, erecting barriers, seeking to decouple economies, and trying to turn back the wheel of history," Xie Feng said, adding that it is necessary to maintain cooperation and jointly create a brighter future for the world.

A similar event was also held on Friday at the Chinese Consulate General in New York. –0–

The largest SCO summit since its creation will be held from August 31 to September 1 in the city of Tianjin in northern China.

Ahead of the opening of the Summit, a reporter from China Internet Information Center Zhongguang interviewed Eric Kuvatov, head of the video production department of Kazakhstan today agency, to find out his opinion on the key topics of the upcoming Summit.

It is valuable that the SCO unites not only states, but also people, creating a solid foundation for long-term friendship.

Erik Kuvatov said that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization plays an important role in strengthening humanitarian ties. Thanks to educational programs, cultural exchanges and joint tourism initiatives, citizens of the SCO countries have the opportunity to better understand each other's traditions, get closer and build trust. It is especially valuable that the SCO unites not only states, but also people, creating a solid foundation for long-term friendship.

The SCO demonstrates its ability to unite countries with different cultures and histories for the sake of a common goal – stability and development

The SCO has consistently upheld the principles of openness and inclusiveness, making significant progress in its expansion. In 2025, many countries officially applied to join the SCO, seeking to become part of the “SCO family”. According to Eric Kuvatov, the attractiveness of the SCO lies in its principles of equality, openness and inclusiveness. In a situation where the world is facing new challenges, the SCO demonstrates its ability to unite countries with different cultures and histories for the sake of a common goal – stability and development. The practical effectiveness of the organization also plays an important role: projects in the fields of economy, security, culture show concrete results, which makes the “SCO family” especially attractive.

China's presidency of the SCO will give the organization additional dynamism and help the organization's countries keep up with the times

China assumed the rotating presidency of the SCO in July 2024 after the Astana summit. When it came to assessing China's role as the chair, Erik Kuvatov expressed the opinion that China has traditionally made a significant contribution to the development of the SCO. "During its presidency in 2024-2025, China is expected to increase its focus on innovation, digital cooperation, environmental projects, and sustainable development. I am confident that China will offer new impetus to expanding cultural and educational exchanges, as well as joint initiatives in the field of the green economy. This will give the organization additional dynamics and help member countries keep up with the times," Erik Kuvatov noted.

The Belt and Road Initiative fits seamlessly with the SCO's objectives

As is known, a number of SCO countries also participate in the "One Belt, One Road" initiative. According to Eric Kuvatov, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative organically combines with the SCO's tasks, because it is aimed at developing infrastructure, trade ties and humanitarian contacts. For the SCO countries, this opens up new opportunities: modern transport routes, tourism development, cultural dialogue. China's contribution to this initiative is especially valuable, because it helps to form a more interconnected, open and sustainable space for cooperation.

SCO shows that a collective approach is more effective than unilateral action

Erik Kuvatov said that the SCO can further strengthen its influence in the global system, demonstrating an example of equal and mutually beneficial cooperation. By supporting the idea of building a community of shared destiny for humanity, the organization contributes to a more just and sustainable world order. The SCO is capable of offering unique solutions – from humanitarian cooperation to joint steps in the field of security and ecology, showing that a collective approach is more effective than unilateral actions.

TIANJIN, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) — Member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) have made a number of achievements in environmental cooperation, significantly promoting the rise of green economy and sustainable development in the region, Chinese Vice Minister of Ecology and Environment Guo Fang said Saturday at a press conference on the sidelines of the 2025 SCO Summit, which starts Sunday and runs until Monday in Tianjin.

According to her, the SCO has created a platform for exchanging environmental information, which brings together laws and regulations on environmental protection, relevant policies and standards, and environmental management systems of SCO member states. With the help of this platform, enterprises can expand their market opportunities, the official noted.

Since 2021, China has held more than 30 multilateral or bilateral technical exchange events in sectors such as green development, climate change response and biodiversity protection. These events have attracted nearly 1,000 industry representatives and played an active role in promoting the application and popularization of green and low-carbon technologies in SCO countries, Guo Fang said.

China has also organized various training sessions on waste management, informatization, biodiversity protection and ecological restoration, as well as water purification and other issues, Guo Fang said.

China will join forces with other SCO member states to reach consensus, expand cooperation, promote the region's green transformation and confront global environmental challenges, she said. -0-

Li Yan, a junior research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies, wrote in an article in the Tianjin Daily on August 20 that the Chinese initiative would advance the SCO's humanitarian cooperation to a new level.

China has put forward the "Global Civilization Initiative", which clearly formulates such important principles as respecting the diversity of world civilizations, promoting the common values of humanity, paying attention to the heritage and innovations of civilizations, and strengthening international people-to-people and cultural exchanges and cooperation. These principles have inherited the core of the "Shanghai Spirit".

China has made great contributions to the continuous expansion and improvement of humanitarian cooperation within the SCO.

In August 2013, the SCO Committee on Good-Neighbourliness, Friendship and Cooperation was established, which has actively promoted the flourishing of local cooperation and civil exchanges.

Platforms set up by China, such as the China-SCO International Exchange, Cooperation and Training Base in the Justice Field, the China-SCO Regional Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone, the SCO Agricultural Technology Exchange and Training Base, and the China-SCO Big Data Cooperation Center, have provided SCO countries with a series of training courses in various fields, including law, economics and trade, agricultural technology, digital technology and so on.

China will chair the SCO in 2024-2025. During this period, China has held over 100 meetings and events under the auspices of the SCO, giving new impetus to humanitarian exchanges among the organization's member countries.

BEIJING, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Commerce on Saturday expressed opposition to the U.S. decision to revoke the "verified end user" (VEU) status of three semiconductor companies operating in China, calling on the U.S. side to immediately change its wrong practices.

China took note of the U.S. Commerce Department's announcement on Friday that it would remove Intel Semiconductor (Dalian) Co., Ltd., Samsung China Semiconductor Co., Ltd. and SK Hynix Semiconductor (China) Ltd. from the VEU list, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said.

The semiconductor industry is a highly globalized industry that has transformed into a deeply interconnected ecosystem through the combined influence of market factors and business decisions over decades of development, the Chinese official said.

The US decision, based on its own self-interest, has turned export controls into a tool and will have a serious negative impact on the stability of global production and supply chains in the semiconductor industry, the Chinese official emphasized, expressing disagreement with the US decision.

China called on the US side to immediately change its wrong practices and ensure the safety of the global semiconductor production and supply chain. China will take necessary measures to resolutely protect the legitimate rights and interests of its enterprises, the spokesman added. -0-

Zhang Zixuan, a scholar at the Institute of Military Culture of the PLA National Defense University, published an article in Huanqiu Shibao on August 22, noting that peace is never a gift from heaven, but an achievement won through blood, sweat and strength.

China always treats peace with care and understands well that "the backward are beaten." The parade will involve 45 military units, hundreds of aircraft and hundreds of ground vehicles, including examples of weapons of the ground and naval forces, air and missile defense, information operations group, unmanned systems, logistics and strategic strikes.

"Courage in struggle" is not a provocation, but a decisive step to prevent war; "Victory" is not a slogan, but the inevitable result of the combination of justice and strength.
