BEIJING, Oct. 20 (Xinhua) — China's industrial sector maintained positive momentum and showed continuous improvement in the quality of growth in the first three quarters of this year.

In January-September 2025, the added value of output at China's leading industrial enterprises grew by 6.2 percent year-on-year, according to data released Monday by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

According to data published by the State Statistical Service, in September of this year this indicator increased by 6.5 percent year-on-year, which was 1.3 percentage points higher than in August of this year.

Industrial production added value in China is used to measure the output activity of leading industrial enterprises with annual revenue from core business activities of RMB 20 million (about US$2.82 million) and above.

According to the State Statistical Office, last month, the added value created by manufacturing enterprises increased by 7.3 percent year-on-year, while in the extractive industry it increased by 6.4 percent. Meanwhile, in the electricity, heat, gas, and water production and supply sector, this figure increased by 0.6 percent.

And in the first three quarters, the growth of this indicator in the manufacturing industry was 6.8 percent, in the mining industry – 5.8 percent, in the sector of production and supply of electricity, heat, gas and water – 2 percent.

From January to August, profits at China's leading industrial companies increased by 0.9 percent year-on-year, reversing the downward trend in their overall profits observed since May of this year. In particular, manufacturing profits maintained a relatively high growth rate, increasing by 7.4 percent year-on-year.

Wang Xin, Deputy Director of the Industrial Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistical Information, noted that China's industrial sector still faces problems such as relatively insufficient effective demand and low enterprise profitability.

According to her, the next stage will see the country fully, precisely, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development architecture, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, increase the supply of high-quality products, continually create new growth points to expand domestic demand, and strengthen the foundation for the stable development of the industrial economy.

Washington/Bogota, October 20 (Xinhua) — Washington will immediately cut aid to Colombia and announce a new tariff rate on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday.

“Starting today…/these payments or/ any other forms of financial assistance, subsidies will no longer be provided to Colombia,” D. Trump wrote on the social network Truth Social, without specifying which programs or funds would be affected.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump also said he would announce new tariffs on Colombian imports on Monday.

In response to Washington's accusations on Sunday that Colombian President Gustavo Petro is an "illegal narco-leader," Colombia's Foreign Ministry said the allegations were "extremely serious and contrary to the dignity of the Colombian president."

The Colombian Foreign Ministry also accused the White House of directly threatening the country's sovereignty and condemned Washington's proposal for illegal intervention on Colombian territory, which violates international law and diplomacy, as well as international treaties protecting the sovereignty, independence, and right to self-determination of states.

Colombia intends to appeal to international organizations to defend its sovereignty and the dignity of its president, as well as to condemn interference in the country's internal affairs, the statement said.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Saturday that American forces had attacked a vessel allegedly used by a Colombian rebel group to smuggle drugs, killing all three people on board.

Since early September, the Trump administration has launched a series of strikes on ships suspected of trafficking drugs in the southern Caribbean, killing at least 27 people.

G. Petro accused the US of using its anti-drug policy as a pretext to justify the use of force in the Caribbean to control oil reserves. In September, his US visa was revoked after he joined a pro-Palestinian demonstration and called on American soldiers to disobey Donald Trump's orders during the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.

American media reported, citing the State Department, that Washington has provided more than $210 million in aid to Colombia this fiscal year. –0–
