Tokyo, October 4 (Xinhua) — The first round of voting in the election for the new president of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has produced no winner. Two of the five candidates, former Economic Security Minister Sanae Takaichi and Agriculture Minister Shinjiro Koizumi, will continue to the runoff.

The winner of the party vote will replace Shigeru Ishiba, who announced his resignation last month. The new chairman will almost certainly become the country's next prime minister, as the LDP remains the largest party in the Diet.

In the first round of voting, LDP lawmakers cast 295 votes, with another 295 votes distributed among rank-and-file party members. Sanae Takaichi, who led with 183 votes, advanced to the second round alongside Shinjiro Koizumi, who received 164 votes.

In the second round of voting, LDP legislators will cast the same number of votes as in the first, but the number of votes from rank-and-file members will be reduced to one for each of the party's 47 prefectural branches. –0–

Beijing, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) — "My wife loves shopping, and the shopping malls in Sanya really suit her preferences. She found many of her favorite clothing brands here," said a Russian tourist named Oleg, accompanying his partner to the Joy City shopping mall in Sanya, Hainan Province, southern China.

The seaside resort town of Sanya on Hainan Island, with its luxurious scenery, has always attracted large numbers of Russian tourists. Besides sunbathing on the seaside beaches, the city's shopping malls are now becoming a "new favorite" for visitors from Russia.

Foreign tourists are common in Sanya's many shopping malls. A wide selection of brands, a comfortable shopping environment, and convenient payment methods have created favorable conditions for tourists, reports the Zhongxinshe News Agency.

“It was getting cold in Russia, so I bought a scarf as a gift for my little sister,” said a young man named Artur from Russia, strolling between different shops with his friends, holding a drink in his hand.

According to him, the weather in Sanya is relatively hot, and the temperature in the shopping malls is very comfortable. "The shopping malls offer delicacies from various countries. We tried Japanese cuisine, and it was delicious," he added.

Signs in multiple languages, including English, Russian, and Korean, are ubiquitous in shopping malls and stores. They also offer numerous measures to simplify procedures for foreign tourists.

As the first shopping mall in Sanya to complete the transformation of the consumer payment facilitation system for inbound tourists, Joy City in Sanya also installed a foreign currency exchange office and implemented the Alipay digital payment service.

According to Oleg, you can exchange currency in cash at the shopping center, which is very convenient.

"Since its opening on October 1st last year, our store has welcomed over 150,000 foreign tourists, accounting for 60 percent of our total visitor numbers," said He Xiangxue, deputy manager of the New Balance store in Joy City. To this end, the store has installed bilingual signage in Chinese and Russian, and its staff is bilingual, making shopping easier for international customers.

The mall's buffets are also popular with foreign tourists. "We offer Chinese and Western dishes, desserts, fruits, seafood, and other food items. Foreign guests can see the ingredients firsthand, making the selection process easier," said Xiao Feng, director of one such restaurant.

As Xiao Feng explained, in most cases, half of the restaurant's customers are foreigners, primarily from Russian-speaking countries, South Korea, Mongolia, and elsewhere. "Currently, there is still a trend of increasing the proportion of foreign guests visiting the restaurant," he added. -0-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump on Friday set Sunday as the deadline for Hamas to accept a 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza.

On his TruthSocial social media page, the US president wrote that Hamas is being given one last chance. An agreement must be reached by 6:00 PM ET on Sunday, or else "Hamas will face a hell like no one has ever seen."

He also called on Palestinians to immediately leave dangerous areas and move to safer parts of the enclave.

On September 29, the US presidential administration presented a 20-point plan for Gaza following talks between Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.

The plan calls for a ceasefire in exchange for the release of hostages, a phased Israeli withdrawal, demilitarization of Gaza, and international oversight of Gaza's reconstruction and governance after the conflict ends, as well as the exclusion of Hamas from the enclave's governance structure.

According to the terms of the deal, Israel will cease hostilities and withdraw to agreed-upon lines. Hamas must release all hostages and return the bodies of the dead within 72 hours of Israel's public acceptance of the agreement. In exchange, Israel will release 250 prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment and 1,700 Gazans detained after October 7, 2023. Disarmed Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence will be granted amnesty, and those who wish to leave Gaza will be granted safe passage to host countries.

At a press conference after the meeting, B. Netanyahu endorsed the US plan, stating that it meets Israel's main goals: the return of hostages, the elimination of Hamas's military potential, the end of the group's political presence, and a guarantee of the demilitarization of Gaza. –0–
