BEIJING, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) — A new round of China-US economic and trade talks that concluded Sunday in Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur once again demonstrated that dialogue and cooperation remain the right path for both countries.

During the talks, guided by the important consensus reached by the two heads of state during telephone conversations since the beginning of this year, the two sides had a frank, in-depth and constructive exchange of views on important trade and economic issues of mutual interest, including the US measures under Section 301 of the Trade Act with respect to China's maritime, logistics and shipbuilding sectors, the extension of the suspension of mutual tariffs, cooperation on fentanyl-related tariffs and enforcement, agricultural trade and export controls.

Both sides agreed to work out specific details and go through internal approval procedures in each country.

Head-of-state diplomacy plays an indispensable strategic role in managing relations between China and the United States. In recent months, guided by the important consensus reached between the two leaders, trade and economic teams from both sides have held several rounds of consultations and reached positive agreements.

These agreements reflect the spirit of equality, respect and mutual benefit and help guide the trade and economic relations between China and the United States towards healthy, stable and sustainable development.

This fully demonstrates that, in order to ensure that the two giant ships of China and the United States sail forward together without deviating from course or losing speed, it is crucial to unswervingly adhere to the strategic guidance of the heads of state of the two countries and fully implement the important consensus reached by them.

The essence of trade and economic relations between China and the United States is mutual benefit and win-win. When both sides cooperate, they both benefit; when they oppose each other, they both lose. China and the United States have extensive common interests and ample room for cooperation; they have established a complementary and mutually beneficial model in trade and economic relations.

As the world's two largest economies, China and the United States engage in trade and economic exchanges characterized by vast scale, rich content, broad scope, and diversity of stakeholders. Disagreements naturally arise. When disagreements and frictions arise, both sides should adhere to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation and seek appropriate solutions to address each other's concerns through equal dialogue and consultation.

Maintaining stable development of trade and economic relations between the two countries serves the fundamental interests of both countries and their peoples, as well as the expectations of the international community.

Tariff and trade wars serve no one's interests. China has always responsibly adhered to the fundamental principle of resolving disputes through dialogue and consultation and has held numerous rounds of negotiations with the US to stabilize bilateral trade and economic relations.

During this round of talks, both sides agreed, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, to make full use of the mechanism of China-US trade and economic consultations, maintain close communication on relevant concerns in the trade and economic field, and promote the healthy, stable and sustainable development of bilateral trade and economic relations, so as to benefit the peoples of the two countries and promote global prosperity.

China and the United States are fully capable of achieving mutual success and shared prosperity, which will benefit both countries and the entire world. The progress achieved in the negotiations was not easy and must be jointly protected.

The two sides expressed hope that the United States and China will move toward each other to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state and the results of trade and economic negotiations, continue to strengthen mutual trust, resolve differences, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, and take bilateral trade and economic relations to new heights.

New Delhi, October 27 (Xinhua) — India resumed direct flights to mainland China on Sunday evening after a five-year hiatus, Indian officials announced.

IndiGo's maiden flight, carrying 176 passengers, took off from Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata, the capital of the eastern Indian state of West Bengal, and landed in Guangzhou, southern China.

As Pieter Elbers, CEO of the Indian airline, noted in a press release in early October, the resumption of direct flights will once again allow for unhindered travel, the transport of goods, and the strengthening of bilateral ties between the two largest and fastest-growing economies in terms of population.

Direct flights between India and mainland China operated until early 2020, when they were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

KUALA LUMPUR, October 27 (Xinhua) — China is willing to maintain strategic ties with Australia, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, and continue to work together to build a more mature, stable, and productive China-Australia comprehensive strategic partnership, benefiting the two peoples and promoting peace, stability, and development in the region and around the world. Chinese Premier Li Qiang made this statement Monday during a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on the sidelines of the East Asia Cooperation Meetings.

Li Qiang recalled that during their July meeting, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Eduardo Albanese developed new plans to deepen China-Australia relations. Recently, bilateral relations have demonstrated positive momentum and steady progress in exchanges and cooperation across various fields.

China is willing to strengthen the alignment of development strategies and policy coordination with Australia, Li Qiang said. He also emphasized China's willingness to leverage the role of institutional dialogues, including the China-Australia Strategic Economic Dialogue and the Joint Economic Commission, and to actively explore ways to advance the revision and modernization of the bilateral free trade agreement.

According to him, these efforts will further deepen practical trade and economic cooperation and unlock the potential for collaboration in areas such as the green economy, high-tech industries, and the digital sector.

Li Qiang said that China will continue to support competent Chinese enterprises to invest in Australia, expressing hope that Australia will provide an open, transparent and non-discriminatory environment for their investment and operations.

The Chinese Premier called on both sides to strengthen exchanges and cooperation in youth, education, tourism and other fields, and work together to develop friendly relations between the peoples.

As the global governance deficit widens, Li Qiang said, China is willing to strengthen coordination with Australia within multilateral mechanisms such as the UN and the WTO to promote continuous improvement of global governance.

In recent years, the global pet industry has grown rapidly, and China has become a significant market. According to the Institute of Feed Science of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the number of pet dogs and cats in China is expected to reach 140 million in 2024, with the total market value exceeding 300 billion yuan. The pet food market value is expected to reach 90 billion yuan, an 8.3% increase year-on-year. Data from the China Feed Mill Association indicates that the country's pet food production volume will reach 1.6 million tons in 2024, and will grow 14.5% year-on-year in the first seven months of 2025. Experts believe that although the Chinese pet industry started late, it is rapidly developing and is currently exhibiting four key trends.

Branding of pet food

Pet food is the core of the industry, and the pet food market continues to expand. During the 6.18 sales (June 18) of 2025, pet food sales on Tmall reached 7.5 billion yuan, a 36% year-on-year increase. Initially, local companies primarily played the role of OEMs, but now Chinese brands are rapidly gaining momentum. In 2024, five of the top ten online sales were local brands, and six local companies, including Guaibao Pet Food and Zhong Chong Co., Ltd., successfully went public, significantly enhancing their competitiveness. Liu Lang, vice president of the China Veterinary Association, stated that the monopoly of foreign brands has been broken, and local companies, through research, development, and quality improvement, are providing strong impetus to the industry's development.

Intelligent pet products

Technology is changing the way humans and pets interact, with innovative products emerging, such as smart feeders, automatic litter boxes, AI-powered monitoring systems, and more. At the 27th Asian Pet Show, the smart litter box took center stage, capable of automatically cleaning itself and analyzing pet behavior. Consumer demand is shifting from "basic content" to "emotional support" and "precision nutrition," and technology is facilitating the transition to higher-value-added products.

Clustering of industry development

Pet industrial parks are becoming a key element in the industry's aggregation and modernization. Shandong and Hebei provinces account for nearly 70% of the national total, while the Yangtze River Delta accounts for 21%. Twenty-two key pet industrial parks have been built nationwide, with key regions in Linyi (Shandong), Xingtai (Hebei), and the Yangtze River Delta. A 75,000-square-meter pet economy industrial park is planned for Luohu District (Shenzhen), attracting 182 companies. Complete value chains, including R&D, production, testing, and sales, are being established across various regions, enhancing the industry's efficiency.

Internationalization of Chinese brands

Chinese pet product brands are accelerating their overseas expansion. Over the past ten years, the import and export trade of dog and cat food has grown steadily, with exports dominating. Japan and the Republic of Korea are important export destinations for Chinese pet food; in 2024, non-canned pet food exports to the Republic of Korea doubled compared to 2015. Zhong Chong Co., Ltd.'s Wanpy brand is seeing growing orders from Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and other regions; in 2024, overseas revenue accounted for 68.33%. Xiaopei Network Technology focuses on smart products, selling its products to over 180 countries worldwide. Experts recommend companies leverage supply chain advantages, enhance product innovation, and build brand value.

Student Vision 2025: A New Light in the History of Polytechnic University

The Goluboe Ozero recreation center hosted the 27th "Student Perspective" educational seminar for first-year student leaders. This year, the event took on special significance. The SPbPU Student Trade Union is celebrating its 60th anniversary—six decades of support, development, and belief in every student. Over the years, the Trade Union has become an integral part of university life: supporting students, developing initiatives, and creating an atmosphere where everyone can express themselves.

The anniversary provided an opportunity to remember how, over six decades, PROF has become a hub for uniting generations of students—the very heart that connects the past, present, and future of the Polytechnic.

This year's slogan, "A New Light in History," brought together over 300 participants: leaders, coaches, organizers, representatives of the PROF, and student associations. Over the course of three days, the students attended training sessions, master classes, and team activities, learning to listen to and hear each other, be inspired by ideas, and work together. Each day of "Perspektiva" was filled with discoveries and emotions: educational modules, creative evenings, and team activities created an atmosphere of true unity. Ideas were born here that sparked future projects and movements at the Polytechnic University.

The seminar opened with a video message from SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, who addressed the participants: "When I look at you, first-year students, full of energy and dreams, I remember my student years. Then, just like you today, we believed that everything was in our hands—and we were right. 'Student Perspective' is a school of leadership and friendship. It is here that teams are born that together build the future of the Polytechnic University. May this new light shine within each of you and illuminate the path for others. The nature of your light will determine what our Polytechnic University will be like tomorrow."

These words became a symbol of the beginning of the first-year students' journey—the journey of leaders capable not only of changing themselves, but also of inspiring others.

During the seminar, meetings were held with representatives of the university administration: Vladimir Glukhov, Advisor to the Rector's Office; Maxim Pasholikov, Vice Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security; Nadezhda Grashchenko, Head of the Directorate of Basic Educational Programs; Vyacheslav Olshevsky, Director of the Student City; and Maxim Susorov, Chairman of the PROF. Students discussed the development of youth policy, opportunities for self-fulfillment, and the future of the university community.

On the second day, a student association festival took place, where first-year students learned about the various associations at Polytechnic University: the School of Cultural Organizers, the "Adapters" Olympic Games, the Polytechnic University Student Teams, ReGreen, the Military History Club, the United Student Dormitory Council, and others. Three days of intensive work culminated in a touching closing ceremony: sparklers, laughter, songs, and a group photo on the shore of the Blue Lake. This evening became a symbol of unity and the beginning of a long journey for each participant. "Student Perspective" inspired, united, and energized a new generation of Polytechnic University leaders. Now their light is part of the university's history.

CARACAS, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) — The Venezuelan government on Sunday condemned the U.S. military for conducting military exercises in the Caribbean, saying they constitute a provocation and a threat to the region.

The Venezuelan government believes that the military exercises conducted between October 26 and 30 are part of a colonial operation and violate the UN Charter and the proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace, according to a statement published by the government on social media.

The South American country made it clear that it will not be intimidated by "military exercises or war cries."

Several US warships have recently deployed to the Caribbean. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has repeatedly condemned Washington's actions as an attempt to overthrow his government and expand its military influence in Latin America.

Vitomira Loncar is teaching a class in a classroom at the Xi'an Eurasia Institute in Shaanxi Province. Students affectionately call this energetic, blonde teacher "Grandma Vita."

Vita is a renowned Croatian playwright, actress, and producer. In 2016, after retiring, she decided to travel with her husband to distant China to write the second act of her life's play—teaching intercultural communication and project management at the Xi'an Eurasian Institute, where she became a beloved "star teacher" among students.

Outside of class, Vita shares her life in Xi'an on video platforms, showing the world a real and multifaceted China. She says Xi'an has become her second home—the city's rich culture gives her inexhaustible energy to fulfill her mission of cultural exchange.
