BEIJING, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — More than 56 million parcels were exported through the Alashankou port in southwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the first eight months of this year, authorities in the city said.

During the reporting period, the total value of goods exported in these parcels reached 4.39 billion yuan (approximately 617.8 million US dollars), up 71.4 percent from a year earlier.

According to Kong Xianglin, a representative of a local logistics company, their company has already sent more than 5 million parcels overseas through this channel since the beginning of this year, with the value of exported goods exceeding 300 million yuan and the volume of transactions doubling compared with the same period last year. He added that the company mainly handles parcels of home textiles and electronics this year, which are in constant demand and have an excellent reputation in overseas markets.

In order to expand the parcel handling capacity, an industrial park with an investment of approximately 1 billion yuan was established in Alashankou, a city on the border of China and Kazakhstan. The park includes a comprehensive service center, an international mail exchange point, and various warehouses for collecting and sorting cargo, as well as storing inventory, enabling it to fully cover the export-import models within the fuel and energy sector.

There are currently 15 resident companies in the fuel and energy sector in the park. Kong Xianglin noted that the strengthening and intensification of interaction and contacts between the city administration and customs and border control services not only significantly increased the efficiency of customs clearance procedures, but also contributed to reducing the operating costs of enterprises.

Day of liberation of Novorossiysk from Nazi troops

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 16, 1943, the city of Novorossiysk was completely liberated from the fascist invaders. This victory stopped the Wehrmacht's advance in the southern direction, forced them to leave the Caucasus and abandon attempts to reach the Baku oil wells, and also returned the waters of the Black, Azov and Caspian Seas under the full control of the Soviet fleet.

The German army captured Novorossiysk in early September 1942. The enemy had built over 300 defensive structures in the city, dug five lines of trenches, installed barbed wire and about 30 thousand mines. Naval mines were also installed at the entrance to the port, and guns and machine guns were placed on all the piers and moles. The city was considered impregnable from the sea.

The Battle of Novorossiysk, which lasted 225 days, began on February 4, 1943, with a landing in the area of the village of Stanichki under the command of Major Caesar Kunikov. Initially, the operation was planned as a diversionary strike, but it turned out to be a key stage of the battle. 400 paratroopers managed to capture a coastal bridgehead of no more than 30 square kilometers. The sea was behind them, the enemy was ahead, and there was nowhere to retreat. At first, the Red Army soldiers repelled 15-20 attacks per day. On the third day, Major Kunikov died. At the cost of incredible efforts, the bridgehead was held, reinforcements began to arrive, and provisions and ammunition were delivered from the air. This patch of land, which had constantly threatened the Nazis' right flank for more than seven months, went down in history under the name Malaya Zemlya.

It is interesting that the future General Secretary of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev, a colonel in those years and head of the political department of the 18th Army, fought on Malaya Zemlya. He was wounded there and later received the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree, for his participation in the battles for the liberation of Novorossiysk.

The main assault began on September 10, 1943, with three groups of troops, one of which attacked from Malaya Zemlya, the second from the Tuapse Highway, and the third from the sea. The operation was supported from the air by 148 aircraft. Particularly heavy fighting took place for the area of the Krasny Oktyabr cement plant, the village of Turkish Garden, the power plant, the Proletary cement plant, and Sakharnaya Golova Mountain. Thanks to the courage and coordinated actions of the army and navy, Novorossiysk was completely cleared of the enemy by 10 a.m. on September 16.

The contribution of the sapper units to the victory is worth mentioning separately. It was they, under the leadership of engineer captain Kirill Turbaevsky, who made Malaya Zemlya impregnable, digging a trench in the rocky ground with titanic efforts and setting up hundreds of firing points and hidden observation posts. In September 1943, sappers, under heavy fire from the Germans from Sakharnaya Golova, established a crossing over Kamyshovskaya Gully, manually pouring a stone bridge along which Soviet tanks entered the city. And after the end of the fighting, they also freed the city from the enemy legacy in the form of tens of thousands of mines.

For their bravery in the battles for Novorossiysk, 19 units and formations of the Red Army received the honorary title of "Novorossiysk", 21 defenders of the city and Malaya Zemlya were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, hundreds of fighters received orders and medals. And on September 14, 1973, in honor of the 30th anniversary of liberation, Novorossiysk received the title of Hero City.

Eternal glory to the defenders of the Motherland!

BEIJING, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — The total number of freight trains sent from Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province, on China-Europe international freight train routes has exceeded 6,000 as of Sept. 10, 2025, since the service was launched there in October 2014, according to data from the General Administration of Customs.

According to information posted on the official website of the State Customs Service, during the specified period, 6,247 China-Europe freight trains were sent from Changsha, which transported more than 520 thousand standard containers /TEU/ with goods worth a total of about 118.21 billion yuan /about 16.61 billion US dollars/.

According to data from Changsha Customs, from January to August this year, Changsha handled 643 China-Europe round-trip freight trains, carrying 52,696 standard containers with goods worth 10.47 billion yuan. Specifically, in August, these three indicators, namely the number of trips, the number of TEUs and the value of goods transported, increased by 241.8 percent, 241.8 percent and 46.8 percent year-on-year, respectively.

At present, there are 12 regular routes in Changsha, covering 100 regions and 30 countries on the Eurasian continent. The range of goods transported is becoming wider and wider, from basic daily necessities and hardware to the construction equipment, automobiles and their spare parts that are in demand today. China-Europe train transportation services have created more convenient conditions and more opportunities for enterprises in Hunan and its neighboring regions to enter overseas markets, and provided important support for the construction of the Belt and Road and the stabilization of the international supply chain.

In order to ensure the convenient and efficient operation of China-Europe freight trains, Changsha Customs has taken a series of measures to continuously optimize service processes and improve customs clearance efficiency. This year, the customs has implemented the “inspection first and then dispatch” inspection model, which has reduced the inspection time of export goods to 30 minutes, and the overall logistics cost has been reduced by an average of 15 percent. -0-

NSU creates a stand for testing the drone's propeller-motor group

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Egor Pobezhimov, 2nd year master's student Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of NSU, is implementing a project to create a test stand for a propeller-motor group with a thrust of up to 2 kg for unmanned aerial vehicles. The project became one of the winners of the federal competition "Student Startup", within the framework of which budding entrepreneurs are allocated 1 million rubles for a period of one year.

— The idea of the project arose from university research and engineering practice: a tool for objective analysis of the propeller-motor group was needed, which was lacking on the market. Currently, when designing and testing drones, there is an acute shortage of available full-featured stands. Existing solutions are either too expensive or do not take into account the vibroacoustic characteristics that are critically important for increasing efficiency and improving the operation of UAVs, — says Egor Pobezhimov.

So, now typical tests of VMG in design bureaus or laboratories are carried out manually: when working on a new prototype, the selection of propellers, modes, recording of parameters and data processing take from 2-3 weeks to 1-2 months. If we talk about the testing process itself, then one test takes on average one to two days. And to conduct full-fledged tests, it is necessary to conduct more than a dozen such tests.

— The stand and the availability of standardized test scenarios will reduce this time to two hours and obtain a larger set of data from which more information can be extracted. This directly reduces the cost: less time for specialists, less expenses on full-scale flights and replacement of failed components, — Yegor explains.

The solutions existing on the market have a number of limitations: they measure only basic parameters (thrust and current) and involve manual testing scenarios. The stand created at NSU comprehensively measures not only basic parameters (thrust, speed, electrical characteristics), but also vibrations and acoustic noise, provides a synchronous analysis of the power plant operation, which allows identifying anomalies and optimizing characteristics.

— Unlike existing solutions, our stand combines mechanics, electronics and software into a single system. Our product includes automated standard tests and built-in analysis and visualization. In addition, we will have a modular design with the ability to scale. And an important point: we offer not only equipment, but also testing services, which our competitors do not have, — adds Egor.

The project started in 2024. At present, the components and implementation algorithm have been defined; the concept of software and hardware parts has been developed, i.e. the architecture and methods of receiving and exchanging information between the source sensors, control software and the user. In addition, the necessary laboratory base has been created at NSU, where further work on the project will be carried out. A team has been formed, and agreements have been reached with design bureaus on testing.

The grant funds will be used for design, purchasing components, assembling and debugging the system, calibrating sensors and developing software, as well as paying for the team's work, registering patents, marketing and launching it to market.

It is expected that in a year a fully operational stand will be ready, which is a compact cubic frame with vibration isolation and protection against screw destruction, and also includes sensors for measuring various parameters and a controller. As for the software, a desktop application will be created, including an interface for collecting, storing and analyzing data, test scenarios. The development language is Python and C, and in the future it is also possible to integrate machine learning methods for predictive diagnostics.

The solution will find application in design bureaus engaged in the development of UAVs, for the selection of propeller-motor groups and the detection of defects; in production for quality and reliability control; in the "smart city" for reducing noise and improving the operation of delivery drones, etc.

DOHA, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — Participants in the extraordinary summit of the Arab League (LAS) and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) held in Doha on Monday strongly condemned Israel's recent attack on Qatar and expressed full solidarity with the emirate.

The Arab-Islamic summit was chaired by Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. The final declaration called the Israeli strike on a residential area in Doha a “blatant act of aggression” that violated international law and posed a serious threat to regional and global peace.

Arab and Islamic leaders reaffirmed their full support for Qatar's sovereignty, security and stability and supported any measures the emirate might take in response to the attack. They stressed that the attack on a neutral mediator undermines ongoing ceasefire talks in Gaza and broader peace efforts.

In the final declaration, summit participants condemned “Israel’s crimes of genocide, ethnic cleansing, famine and siege, as well as settlement activity and expansionist policies,” warning that they jeopardize prospects for peace.

Summit participants called for urgent international action to hold Israel accountable, including imposing sanctions, halting arms sales and reviewing diplomatic and economic ties with Israel.

Arab and Islamic leaders also called on the OIC to coordinate efforts to suspend Israel's UN membership, citing its persistent "violations" of international law and UN resolutions. –0–
