BEIJING, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) — The World Bank on Thursday released its latest forecast for China's economic growth in 2025, raising the growth target by 0.4 percentage points compared to the previous forecast.

According to the World Bank, the Chinese government is pursuing a more proactive fiscal policy and a moderately loose monetary policy, which is supporting domestic consumption and investment. At the same time, demand from developing countries is supporting exports.

“China’s economic growth in the coming years will depend increasingly on domestic demand,” said Mara Warwick, World Bank Country Director for China, Mongolia, and Korea. “In addition to short-term fiscal stimulus, advancing structural reforms to the social security system and creating a more predictable business climate could also help boost confidence and lay the foundation for sustainable growth.” -0-

On December 8, the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China released data showing that China's total foreign trade volume in goods for the first 11 months of this year amounted to 41.21 trillion yuan, an increase of 3.6% year-on-year—the same growth rate as the first 10 months. In November, import and export growth recovered to 4.1%, a positive trend that has persisted for 10 consecutive months since February.

A more detailed analysis of the latest data shows that the recovery in monthly growth rates has become a key support for the increase in import and export volumes. In November, China's exports totaled 2.35 trillion yuan, while imports reached 1.55 trillion yuan, up 5.7% and 1.7% year-on-year, respectively. Compared to the previous month, these growth rates accelerated by 6.5 and 0.3 percentage points, further demonstrating the resilience and vitality of China's foreign trade.

Private enterprises were the main driving force behind these results. According to customs statistics, in the first 11 months, imports and exports by China's private enterprises totaled 23.52 trillion yuan, an increase of 7.1% year-on-year, while the number of private companies engaged in foreign trade operations increased by 66,000 compared to the same period last year. In November, the growth rate of imports and exports accelerated by 3.9 percentage points compared to the previous month, with both exports and imports growing for nine consecutive months.

Thanks to innovative and green development, China's foreign trade competitiveness continues to strengthen. According to customs statistics, in the first 11 months of this year, China's exports of machinery and electronic products totaled 14.89 trillion yuan, up 8.8% year-on-year and accounting for 60.9% of the country's total exports. Specifically, exports of the "new three" products (new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products) and ships increased by 24.1% and 27.8%, respectively.

Currently, with the winter sports season in full swing in the Northern Hemisphere, exports of ice and snow sports products continue to grow. "In recent years, winter sports equipment has become a new growth driver for us, with orders already booked through April next year," noted Wang Jialu, head of foreign trade at Zhejiang Yuanjing Sports Goods Co., Ltd., located in Songmen Township, Wenling City. "In the first 10 months of this year, ski goggle exports reached 65 million yuan, an increase of 37.5% year-on-year. We are currently rapidly fulfilling the fifth batch of orders for the European winter season."

According to customs statistics, since the second half of this year, the growth rate of exports of skates to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, as well as ski suits and other winter sports products to the North American market, has exceeded double digits.

With a strong manufacturing base and a comprehensive industrial system, China's economic and trade ties with its trading partners are becoming increasingly close, with emerging markets providing even greater growth.

According to data, in the first 11 months of 2025, China's foreign trade volume with ASEAN, its largest trading partner, amounted to 6.82 trillion yuan, an increase of 8.5% year-on-year. Trade volume with Africa, Latin America, and the European Union grew by 18.7%, 5.6%, and 5.4%, respectively.

Lü Dalian, Director of the Statistical Analysis Department of the General Administration of Customs, noted that China consistently adheres to the principles of open and mutually beneficial cooperation, constantly expanding bilateral ties with trading partners and promoting joint development. In the first 11 months of this year, China's trade with more than 110 countries and regions saw a simultaneous increase in exports and imports, exceeding the same period last year by more than 20 countries and regions.

Industry experts note that at the end of the year, when all areas of work are in their final stages, amid external challenges such as rising global unilateralism and protectionism, China needs to further strengthen innovation drivers, expand international cooperation, and enhance trade resilience to ensure sustainable growth in foreign trade. This will transform the accumulated positive trends into a powerful flow, providing a strong impetus for achieving annual foreign trade goals and laying a solid foundation for a successful launch of the 15th Five-Year Plan.

Beijing, December 10 (Xinhua) — China strongly condemns and categorically opposes the UK's political manipulation under the pretext of protecting cybersecurity. China has already made stern representations to the UK in both Beijing and London, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated on Wednesday.

A Chinese diplomat made the remarks at a regular briefing for journalists, commenting on reports that the UK government on Tuesday announced sanctions against two China-based companies, accusing them of cyberattacks on the UK and its allies, as well as activities linked to the Chinese government.

China opposes hacker attacks and combats them in accordance with the law, Guo Jiakun emphasized. At the same time, he continued, China firmly opposes the spread of disinformation for political purposes.

Noting that China is the largest victim of cyberattacks, Guo Jiakun recalled that several months ago, the Chinese side released details of the case of how the US National Security Agency carried out cyberattacks and infiltrated China's National Time Service Center.

According to Guo Jiakun, the United Kingdom was one of the staging areas used by the United States to carry out the aforementioned cyberattacks. He added that China has already provided the UK with relevant information.

The UK and the US are members of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance and NATO, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman recalled, expressing hope that the UK would explain its role in US cyberattacks on China's key information infrastructure.

The world faces common challenges in cybersecurity, Guo Jiakun noted. He called on the UK to immediately correct its mistakes, abandon double standards and attempts to politicize this issue, and work with China in a truly responsible and constructive manner to maintain peace, stability, and prosperity in cyberspace.

Baku, December 10 (Xinhua) — A commemorative event to mark the 1,800th anniversary of the birth of eminent ancient Chinese mathematician Liu Hui, titled "Intertwining Mathematical Traditions on the Silk Road," was held in the capital of Azerbaijan on Tuesday.

The event was organized by the Scientific and Technical Society of China and the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) as part of a series of events titled “Harmony of Mathematics for Millennia: Dialogue with the Universe,” dedicated to the anniversary of Liu Hui.

At the opening ceremony, ANAS President Isa Habibbayli recognized the achievements of the ancient Chinese mathematician. He stated that this event opens new horizons and prospects for the development of scientific and cultural ties between Azerbaijan and China.

"For the first time, our academy is holding a commemorative event dedicated to the anniversary of the birth of the great Chinese mathematician Liu Hui. He left behind interesting and profound scientific works in the main areas of mathematics. This event is also a good opportunity to establish our ties with the Scientific and Technical Society of China, get to know each other, and strengthen our cooperation in the future," noted I. Habibbayli.

Azerbaijan played a role as a bridge for the transfer of scientific and cultural knowledge between East and West along the ancient Silk Road. I. Habibbayli emphasized that today Azerbaijan supports the Belt and Road Initiative and strives to realize its potential as a link between Europe and Asia.

"Ties between our republics will become even closer and bear great fruit. In the scientific field, at the academy level, we will closely and fruitfully cooperate on specific projects," he told Xinhua on the sidelines of the event.

Ruan Cao, Director of the Science and Technology Dissemination Center of the Chinese Society for Science and Technology, noted that the 1800th anniversary of Liu Hui's birth was the first anniversary of a scientist to be successfully included in the UNESCO list of commemorative dates at China's initiative.

According to Ruan Cao, the anniversary event aims to commemorate the great achievements and thoughts of this ancient Chinese mathematician, his outstanding contribution to the development of human civilization, and to promote the deepening of scientific, technical, and humanitarian exchanges between China and Azerbaijan.

The mathematician Liu Hui, who lived in the 3rd century AD, became the founder of classical Chinese mathematical theory and occupies an important place in the history of world mathematics. In November 2023, at the 42nd session of the UNESCO General Conference, a proposal was approved to declare 2024–2025 the "Year of Liu Hui."

Beijing, December 10 (Xinhua) — China actively participates in UN human rights activities, conducting extensive exchanges and cooperation with other countries in this area. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated this on Wednesday, adding that China is willing to inject even more positive energy into the development of human rights worldwide.

December 10 marks Human Rights Day. Guo Jiakun made the aforementioned statement at a regular press briefing, responding to a question about China's progress in promoting and protecting human rights, as well as its efforts to strengthen international cooperation on human rights.

The Chinese diplomat recalled that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the UN. Seventy-seven years ago, the UN adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and 75 years ago, it established Human Rights Day, fulfilling humanity's ambitious dream of the full enjoyment of human rights by all. With each passing day, the idea of promoting and protecting human rights penetrates deeper into the hearts of people.

"China has always attached great importance to respecting and protecting human rights and has followed a path of human rights development that is consistent with the trends of the times and national conditions," Guo Jiakun stated.

According to him, during the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), China has made significant achievements in national development, promoted people's democracy throughout the process, effectively and comprehensively implemented the rule of law in national governance, promoted the rapid development of cultural programs and cultural industries, more reliably ensured the people's well-being, consolidated the achievements in poverty alleviation, steadily improved the environment, and raised the protection of various human rights to a new level.

The Chinese diplomat pointed out that China, playing a constructive role, actively participates in UN activities related to human rights and carries out extensive exchanges and cooperation in the field of human rights with other countries.

As Guo Jiakun noted, the second advanced training course on economic, social, and cultural rights, organized by the Chinese side, is currently taking place in Beijing. The event is attended by over 40 government representatives from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania, as well as UN officials and experts. Participants are engaging in in-depth discussions and reaching broad consensus on the promotion and protection of economic, social, and cultural rights.

In October 2025, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee adopted proposals for developing the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). According to the diplomat, these outlined China's socioeconomic development program for the next five years and demonstrated the country's commitment to mutually beneficial cooperation with the rest of the world.

"Advancing Chinese-style modernization will also promote the comprehensive development of human rights in China," Guo Jiakun emphasized, adding that China will actively implement the Global Governance Initiative put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping and inject more positive energy into the development of human rights around the world.

Guo Jiakun noted that some countries are politicizing human rights and using them as a weapon, thereby posing a serious challenge to global human rights governance. Some countries, he continued, not only refuse to repent for their past crimes, such as biological warfare, the forced recruitment of "comfort women," and the mass killings of civilians during the war of conquest, but also continue to violate the rights of indigenous peoples, such as the Ainu and Ryukyuans, and pursue discriminatory policies against foreigners.

“We urge the relevant country to soberly assess and resolve its own serious human rights problems, participate constructively in international human rights cooperation, and stop interfering in the internal affairs of other countries under the pretext of so-called human rights issues,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman concluded.
