UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) — China's permanent representative to the United Nations Fu Cong on Monday called for efforts to safeguard the post-war international order.

At the UN Security Council's open debate on leadership for peace, he said that militarism and fascism had once brought unprecedented catastrophes to humanity. Any erroneous statements or actions aimed at whitewashing or denying the history of aggression challenge human conscience and undermine hard-won peace.

"We must maintain a correct view of the history of World War II, defend the results of victory in World War II, and uphold the post-war international order," the diplomat said. "We must adhere to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, support the sovereign equality of all states, large and small, oppose unilateralism, hegemonism, and power politics, promote the democratization of international relations, and strengthen the representation and voice of developing countries in international affairs," the permanent representative added.

Fu Cong called for a commitment to a political settlement as an effective path to peace. Peace is achieved not by force, but through negotiations; any conflict must be resolved at the negotiating table, he said.

"When resolving conflicts and disputes, we must promote dialogue for peace, encourage consultations and negotiations, and help all parties build mutual trust, resolve differences, and achieve consensus. We must respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries and take into account the legitimate interests of all parties," the diplomat stated.

Major powers, in particular, must play a constructive role, refrain from double standards or imposing their will on others, and especially avoid fueling conflicts for their own narrow interests, he added.

Fu Cong called for efforts to uphold multilateralism and strengthen international cooperation in maintaining peace.

The international system, with the UN at its core, is the foundation of global peace and development. The more uncertain the future becomes, the more urgent is the need to practice genuine multilateralism, uphold the role and authority of the UN, and ensure that the Security Council bears primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, said Fu Cong.

He also stressed the importance of addressing the root causes of conflicts and wars through development. –0–

NANCHANG, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) — When Dewell Group executive D. Denisov opened his contact page on his phone, he quickly received dozens of friend requests from small and medium-sized business owners in China.

This scene recently unfolded in Jiangxi Province (Eastern China), home to Lake Poyang, known as the "Kingdom of White Cranes." More than 98 percent of the world's white cranes winter there, many of which migrate to Jiangxi annually from Siberia.

In December of this year, the 12th roundtable meeting on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in China and Russia was held in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. Over 100 Chinese and Russian SMEs gathered to explore opportunities for cooperation.

SMEs are the foundation of China's economic resilience. China has over 60 million SMEs, which have annually accounted for over 60 percent of GDP, over 70 percent of technological innovation, and over 80 percent of urban employment over the past five years.

In recent years, Chinese-Russian relations have developed at a high level, providing greater opportunities for cooperation between SMEs of the two countries.

Jiangxi Ocean Willy Industrial Co., Ltd., a company from Jiangxi Province, is investing in the construction of a plant to produce environmentally friendly building materials in Russia. The company's deputy general director, Huang Pu, said that he frequently travels to China and Russia for work. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently signed a decree granting temporary visa-free entry to Russia for Chinese citizens, and China previously introduced a visa-free regime for Russians, meaning mutual visa abolition between the two countries and facilitating business travel for SMEs from both countries.

According to Sergei Mironov, Chairman of the A Just Russia party and head of the A Just Russia faction in the Russian State Duma, bilateral trade between Russia and China exceeded $244.8 billion in 2024 and continues to grow. As cooperation deepens, he is confident that settlements in rubles and yuan will become possible in the near future.

After nearly 20 years of development, the China-Russia SME Support Roundtable has gradually become an important platform for promoting high-quality cooperation between SMEs in the two countries. A distinctive practice of rotating provinces and regions of the two countries as hosts has been established, promoting the expansion of practical cooperation between regions and enterprises.

Shenzhen, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) — A premium freight train officially departed from Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, to Moscow as part of the China-Europe international rail freight service. It will cross the border at the Ereenhot checkpoint in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

A train loaded with goods produced in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, worth a total of 20 million yuan (approximately 2.8 million US dollars), including household appliances, clothing, toys, etc., recently departed from the Shenzhen International Integrated Logistics Center to Moscow's Selyatino station.

"The launch of this premium route has brought real benefits to businesses. Not only does it reduce shipping time along the same route from 22 to 16 days, but it also eliminates the risk of fluctuations in sea freight schedules," said Hu Bo, sales manager at Shenzhen Jiayuda E-commerce Technology Co., Ltd.

According to Shenzhen Customs data, a total of 177 China-Europe trains departed from Shenzhen in the first 11 months of 2025, representing a 40.5 percent increase year-on-year, and the total value of transported cargo reached 5.84 billion yuan, an increase of 27.5 percent. This provided strong support to enterprises in the Greater Bay Area, ensuring the stability of international industrial and supply chains.

As of August 18 of this year, the aforementioned Shenzhen hub had handled a total of 878 China-Europe trains in the five years since the launch of such freight services there in 2020. These trains carried more than 85,000 standard container units (TEUs) carrying goods worth over $3 billion. More than 7,000 enterprises have used these services.

Currently, Shenzhen has launched a total of 27 international routes within the China-Europe railway freight transportation system, covering 47 countries and regions, including Russia, Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, and others.

An autoclave for growing crystals has been installed at the NSU Evolution of the Earth Research Center.

IN scientific and educational center "Evolution of the Earth" Novosibirsk State University has a new exhibit simulating crystal formation in a laboratory setting. Designed in a steampunk style, it is controlled via a mobile app. The new exhibit, specially designed for NSU, is the only one of its kind in Russia. It was developed and manufactured with the support of the Priority 2030 strategic academic leadership program.

"The idea to create such an exhibit arose a couple of years ago. The museum previously had a prototype. It was open, and the tour guide had to manually insert the marbles into the octahedron, and the marbles often disappeared after the tours. So we decided to improve on this idea," said Olga Khokhryakova, a research fellow at the Evolution of the Earth Scientific and Educational Center.

The staff at the "Evolution of the Earth" Scientific and Educational Center developed the general design and concept for the device, and created the first visualization using artificial intelligence. They then handed over their work to modeler and engineer Dmitry Kamenev.

"I've long had the idea of creating a steampunk-style installation. I spoke with the engineers who developed our exhibit, and they liked the idea. They approached the project with enthusiasm and even humor: if you look closely at the exhibit, you can see plaques that reference the works of the Strugatsky brothers and the novel 'The Twelve Chairs.' The team began work on our project in June 2025 and completed it in November," said Alexander Igolnikov, head of the Evolution of the Earth Scientific and Educational Center, sharing the story behind the exhibit's creation.

The museum staff meticulously designed the exhibit down to the smallest detail. Its shape and appearance resemble an autoclave for synthesizing and growing crystals in a laboratory setting. The device's interior simulates the natural processes that lead to mineral formation. For example, it houses a lava lamp, symbolizing the molten matter entering the "crystallizer." Warm light and characteristic gurgling sounds visually convey its operation, while special "sensors" display changes in temperature and pressure. A unique feature of the exhibit is its control via a dedicated app. Guides can adjust the light, sound, and even voices. For example, the crystallizer can play excerpts from speeches by such eminent scientists as Mikhail Lavrentyev and Albert Einstein.

The new exhibit clearly demonstrates the arrangement of atoms in a crystal lattice. It works like this: the structure resembles an hourglass, the main part of which is a hemioctahedron, a four-sided pyramid made of plexiglass. One of the hemioctahedra contains balls. When the guide turns the exhibit's handle, the hemioctahedron containing the balls rotates 180 degrees. As a result, the balls spill over and fill the second hemioctahedron, completely occupying its volume. The balls are arranged in a strictly regular pattern, not a chaotic one.

Each crystal and each mineral has its own unique "pattern" of particle arrangement. Atoms in reality, of course, are not spherical and can vary from one another, but in this exhibit, they are represented as spheres for clarity. The process can be repeated an infinite number of times, and each time the spheres are arranged in a strictly defined pattern, corresponding to the arrangement of atoms in the crystal lattice.

"Certain difficulties arose during the work on the exhibit. The beads that were supposed to flow into the hemioctahedron proved too heavy, so the structure had to be further reinforced. It was later discovered that when our 'hourglass' was turned over, the beads would clog the passage. To solve this problem, motors were added to stir the beads and prevent them from getting stuck. In fact, exactly the same thing happens in nature. If a solution isn't stirred, at some point the supply of material available to the growing crystal is exhausted, and growth stops. A simple example is sugar in tea: if you don't stir it, it won't dissolve completely. Exactly the same processes occur in mineral-forming environments," explained Olga Khokhryakova.

The new exhibit is located in Hall 2, "Earth Composition and Deep Processes," at the "Earth Evolution" Research and Education Center. It complements a display case showing the structure of crystal lattices in various minerals. Anyone interested can see the new exhibit for themselves by scheduling a tour by calling 7 383 363-42-25.

Minsk, December 16 (Xinhua) — Belarus is placing particular emphasis on expanding cooperation with countries in the Global South. Deputy Prime Minister Viktor Karankevich stated this on Monday during the Strategic Forum on concluding a free trade agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and Indonesia.

According to the press service of the Council of Ministers of Belarus, he noted that the country is chairing the Eurasian Economic Union this year. "Developing mutually beneficial cooperation with the countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations is among the priorities of Belarus's chairmanship of the EAEU. Belarus views Indonesia as a key partner in the Southeast Asian region," V. Karankevich stated.

On November 24, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko signed Decree No. 413, approving a draft free trade agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union and its member states, and Indonesia, as a basis for negotiations. Minsk is fully prepared to sign this agreement, the Deputy Prime Minister noted.

“It is no exaggeration to say that the creation of a free trade zone will open a new chapter in the development of trade and economic ties between the EAEU countries and Indonesia, and will allow for the expansion and significant expansion of mutually beneficial cooperation,” V. Karankevich concluded. –0–
