BEIJING, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) — A cold cyclone hit Mohe, China's northernmost city, on Monday, Oct. 13, sending the temperature to minus 22.6 degrees Celsius, marking the city's coldest day since early autumn, chinanews.com.cn reported, citing the local meteorological service.

Due to the cold weather on both banks of the Chinese-Russian border river Heilongjiang (Amur), a stunning phenomenon has appeared in the city of Mohe – frost on the trees, attracting many tourists who want to enjoy the picturesque landscape and take spectacular photos and selfies.

Mohe City, administratively located in the Greater Khingan Region of Heilongjiang Province, is located at the northernmost edge of China's territory, earning it the nickname "China's North Pole." It's also known as the "City of the Northern Lights," as it's the only place in China where the phenomenon can be observed. The average annual temperature here is -3.5 degrees Celsius, with a maximum temperature of -53 degrees Celsius.

The drop in temperatures since October has created favorable conditions for a revival of winter tourism in the city. At China's northernmost ski resort, the Mohe Northern Lights Ski Resort, snow cannons are roaring, and staff are working overtime to open its doors to ski enthusiasts as soon as possible.

Forecasters predict that temperatures in Mohe may rise slightly in the next few days, but the minimum daily temperature will still remain below minus 10 degrees Celsius. -0-

BEIJING, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) — The China-Russia-Mongolia Culture and Arts Center was officially opened in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region recently. Its founders envision it as a new platform for promoting inter-civilizational exchanges between the three countries as part of efforts to implement the Belt and Road Initiative.

According to the Chinese education news website jvb.cn, the new center was established at Hulunbuir University, located in the city of the same name, which borders both Russia and Mongolia. The center's primary goal is to develop in-depth collaboration with foreign universities in areas such as academic research, artistic creation, organizing exhibitions and performances, and jointly training qualified artists.

The list of potential partners for cooperation with the center includes, in particular, such Russian universities as the Trans-Baikal State University, the East Siberian State Institute of Culture, and the Siberian State Institute of Arts named after Dmitry Hvorostovsky, said Li Wenge, secretary of the party committee of Hulun Buir University, at the center's opening ceremony, which was also attended by the rector of the eastern branch of the Mongolian National University.

"The establishment of this center is not so much a measure to modernize educational cooperation as a practical way to promote intercivilizational dialogue," Li Wenge noted, emphasizing the important role of young people in strengthening cultural exchanges, promoting mutual learning, and fostering mutual enrichment between the civilizations of the three countries. He added that to cultivate young talent, the center will focus on activities such as developing interdisciplinary research programs and organizing multilingual art master classes. -0-

NEW YORK, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) — American consumers will bear more than half the cost of tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump this year, according to a report from Goldman Sachs analysts.

By the end of the year, 55 percent of tariffs will be paid by American consumers, 22 percent by American businesses, 18 percent by foreign exporters, and 5 percent will not be paid at all, according to a report released Sunday.

“However, U.S. businesses are likely to bear a larger share of the costs at this time because some tariffs have only just taken effect and it takes time to raise prices for consumers and negotiate lower import prices with foreign suppliers,” the report said.

Economists say that, unlike in 2019, all tariffs have not yet been passed on to consumers because "this time, companies may wait longer" before raising prices to see if the tariffs will remain in place after the legal battle.

According to the report, taxes in the US have increased base prices of personal consumption goods by 0.44 percent this year, and inflation will rise to 3 percent by December. –0–

TEHRAN, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Monday that the recent statement by France, Germany and Britain, known as the E3, about their desire to resume nuclear talks with Iran lacks "goodwill and sincerity."

E. Bagai made the announcement at his weekly press conference, commenting on parts of a joint statement released by E3 leaders on Friday.

The EU3 leaders called their August decision to activate the snapback mechanism, which led to the reimposition of UN sanctions against Iran, "correct." They also expressed their determination to "resume negotiations with Iran and the United States to conclude a comprehensive, lasting, and verifiable agreement that will ensure Iran never acquires nuclear weapons."

According to E. Baghaei, Iran believes that the E3 statement “contains stereotypical statements, some of which are irrelevant and some of which lack goodwill and sincerity.”

The EU3 countries claim to be in favor of diplomacy, while they have led the diplomatic process into a dead end by "abusing" the dispute resolution mechanism provided for in the 2015 nuclear deal, an Iranian diplomat said.

He added that in order to be recognised as "credible" parties in the negotiations, the EU3 must prove its ability to act independently and possess the necessary seriousness, diplomatic potential and decision-making authority.

In August, the EU3 countries activated the snapback mechanism, leading to the reimposition of UN sanctions after the Security Council failed to extend the sanctions relief regime. Iran called the reimposition of sanctions "illegal and unjustified."
