The city of Heihe in Heilongjiang Province and Blagoveshchensk in Russia's Amur Region, which are located in the border regions of China and Russia, are separated by a river and are figuratively called twin cities.

At 7:00 a.m. on September 6, in Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province, at the Heihe-Blagoveshchensk Highway Bridge, the 2025 China-Russia Cross-Border Marathon Series (2025 Heihe Marathons) was launched.

The competition was organized by the Sports Administration of Heilongjiang Province, the People's Government of Heihe City, and the Ministry of Physical Culture and Sports of the Amur Region of Russia.

The competition included a full marathon, a half marathon, a 10-kilometer cross-border bridge run and a mass run, which attracted about 4,000 Chinese and foreign participants.

Of particular interest in the event was the 10-kilometer run across the bridge over the border river Heilongjiang (Amur). Participants ran across the border on the bridge and finished on Russian territory at the Kani-Kurgan road checkpoint.

The cross-border marathons are a new testament to the vitality and friendship of these "twin cities".

On September 2, during the large-scale events to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, a seminar entitled "Towards a Community of Shared Future: From the Great Spirit of Resistance to Global Initiatives" was held at China Foreign Affairs University, where a paper of the same name was presented.

Zhang Aining, a professor at the Department of International Law at China Foreign Affairs University, believes that one of the most important achievements of human civilization after World War II was the establishment of the United Nations, and the UN Charter is the fundamental legal document for this organization. It is a multilateral treaty by nature, legally binding on all UN member states.

She believes that the three core values of the UN Charter deserve special attention.

First, understanding and preserving history. The UN Charter embodies humanity's profound understanding of two world wars that broke out in less than 30 years.

Secondly, the solution of contemporary problems. The UN Charter promoted new development of international law to solve problems revealed during the Second World War that required urgent solutions.

Third, shaping the future. The UN Charter sets out a plan for building a new world after World War II, that is, a new international order. The past 80 years of history have proven that the foresight of the UN founders has at least ensured relatively long-term peace for humanity.

As the US continues to swing its tariff baton at numerous trading partners around the world, international shipping giants such as Denmark's Maersk and Switzerland's MSC are rethinking their strategies, shifting more capacity to emerging markets.

Many prominent media outlets have recently taken note of this trend, with Hong Kong's South China Morning Post commenting: "Global trade routes are being transformed, and shipping companies are adapting to the new reality."

Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc put it bluntly at a recent conference: “There is strong demand almost everywhere except the US.”

At the same time, routes from China's major ports to emerging markets are also expanding. Experts say the shipping giants' moves show that the structure of global trade is changing, and emerging economies with good growth trends are expected to become important drivers of global trade growth.

BEIJING, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) — China-Europe trains passing through the Ereen Port in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have carried more than 300,000 TEUs of goods since the beginning of this year as of Sept. 8, reaching the target of 300,000 TEUs 23 days earlier than last year, the Neimenggu Ribao newspaper reported Wednesday, citing data from the Hohhot branch of China State Railway Corporation.

The Erenhot railway checkpoint is located in the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor and is the only railway border crossing on the central route for trains operating on the China-Europe international freight service. Since the launch of this freight service in 2013, Erenhot has handled a total of more than 20,000 China-Europe trains. Since 2023, the number of China-Europe trains passing through it annually has exceeded 3,000 for two years in a row.

As of September 8, the Erenhot railway checkpoint has handled 2,646 China-Europe trains since the beginning of this year, transporting nearly 3.5 million tons of cargo. Both figures were 9.5 percent and 15.4 percent higher, respectively, than the same period last year.

In response to the growing demand for cross-border transportation, China's railway sector continues to develop a dense international logistics network. Since this year, the Wuhu-Erenhot-Moscow, Liulihe-Erenhot-Minsk and Datong-Erenhot-Selyatino railway lines have been opened, bringing the number of China-Europe train routes served by the Erenhot checkpoint to 74. These lines cover more than 70 cities or stations in more than 10 countries, such as Germany and Poland, as well as more than 60 cities in 24 provincial-level regions in China. They carry more than 10,000 types of products on China-Europe trains. -0-
