HANGZHOU, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) — The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region-registered bulk carrier Changsheng departed from Jiaxing Port in Zhejiang Province on Friday for Zanzibar, Tanzania, and Beira, Mozambique, marking the opening of direct sea service on the Jiaxing-Africa route.

The vessel will deliver about 200 standard containers of equipment to Africa, which is mainly intended for the construction of infrastructure facilities. The cargo is expected to arrive at the port of Zanzibar in about 25 days.

The opening of the new route is expected to strengthen trade and economic exchanges between Zhejiang Province and countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.

According to local authorities, the route will be operated once a month, which will significantly reduce logistics costs and promote cooperation between the Yangtze River Delta region and Africa in infrastructure and industry. -0-

BEIJING, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) — The 2025 China-Russia Cross-Border Marathons were held in Heihe, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, on Saturday. The competition was organized by the Heilongjiang Provincial Sports Department, the Ministry of Physical Culture and Sports of the Amur Region of Russia, and the People's Government of Heihe.

The competition included a classic marathon, a half marathon, a 10-kilometer run across the cross-border bridge, and a mass run. The event was broadcast on provincial television and radio.

Of particular interest in the event was the 10-kilometer run across the bridge over the Heilongjiang /Amur/ border river. Participants ran across the border on the bridge and finished on Russian territory at the Kani-Kurgan road checkpoint. This is the first marathon in China with a cross-border stage, as well as the first cross-border marathon for China and Russia.

At 8 a.m., the starting gun rang out and nearly 4,000 Chinese and foreign participants rushed forward. During the race, they were able to experience the unique feeling of a cross-border marathon, as well as admire the majestic scenery on both banks of the Heilongjiang River and experience the dynamic development of a modern border city.

The sporting event took place in a cheerful, festive atmosphere. At the improvised catering area, Russian baker Natasha cut thick slices of bread and treated enthusiastic visitors. The air was filled with the aroma of freshly baked goods with creamy notes. And at one of the supply points set up along the running track, “Uncle Petya,” popular on Chinese social networks, was preparing Russian shashlik. The tantalizing smell of juicy, steaming meat made many runners stop, forgetting about the time.

Following a tense struggle, Li Xiang emerged as the winner of the men's marathon with a time of 2 hours 26 minutes 29 seconds. Among women, Ma Hongli won the championship with a time of 2 hours 49 minutes 24 seconds. The champions of the half marathon were Ma Liang (men) and Zhang Cao (women). And the participants of the mass race enjoyed the sport and the joy of self-realization while covering the distance.

The event has received positive reviews from Chinese and foreign participants. Heihe city authorities intend to build the China-Russia cross-border marathon into a vibrant brand of sports events based on the “sports, culture and tourism, economy” model, which will be popular both domestically and abroad. -0-
