SHANGHAI, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Wednesday reiterated that the country will continue to pursue high-quality development and steadily advance high-level opening-up, making new contributions to the global economy.

Li Qiang made the remarks while delivering a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) and the Hongqiao International Economic Forum in Shanghai.

China will confidently expand opening-up at the institutional level and promote comprehensive pilot programs to accelerate the opening-up of the service industry, Li Qiang said, adding that a more modernized China will undoubtedly bring more stability and positive energy to the world.

This year, CIIE set a record for the number of participating enterprises, fully demonstrating the vibrant vitality of China's super-scale market.

Noting that some unilateral and protectionist actions have seriously affected the international economic and trade order and undermined the global economy at present, Li Qiang called for upholding equality and mutual benefit, strengthening the foundation of legitimate common interests, and ensuring fairness in international relations.

Li Qiang also called for advancing global governance reform and optimizing international trade and economic rules.

China is willing to work with all parties to implement the Global Governance Initiative in the global trade and economic field and improve the multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organization (WTO) at its core, Li Qiang said.

"The CPC Central Committee's Proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development," which were adopted at the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, have brought additional clarity to China's socio-economic development in the near future, Li Qiang noted.

The opening ceremony of the 8th CIIE was attended by approximately 1,500 people, including representatives of government agencies, the business community, and academia from 155 countries and regions, as well as international organizations.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, leaders of foreign countries and heads of international organizations praised the CIIE's important role in promoting openness and cooperation and accelerating global economic growth.

They expressed their willingness to intensify cooperation with China in trade, connectivity, innovation, green development and other areas to ensure free and fair trade and jointly promote development and prosperity. -0-

Ashgabat, November 5 (Xinhua) — The first meeting of a new project aimed at developing financial mechanisms for environmental conservation was held in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan's capital. The country's International Information Center reported on Wednesday.

The project is being implemented within the framework of the global Biodiversity Finance Initiative /BIOFIN/, supported by the United Nations Development Programme /UNDP/ and the Global Environment Facility.

The program is designed to assist countries in developing national investment plans for wildlife conservation and fulfills the goals of the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, adopted at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. According to the document, at least 30 percent of the planet's land and marine areas should be protected by 2030.

As Rustem Nuryev, Head of the Department for the Protection of Flora and Fauna of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of Turkmenistan, noted, sustainable biodiversity is the foundation of the country's food and water security.

In Turkmenistan, up to 90 percent of the costs of implementing environmental and nature conservation programs are covered by the state budget. –0–

XIAMEN, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) — The cardioprotective effect of exercise in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease may be significantly greater in women than in men, a study has found.

These results were recently published in the international journal Nature Cardiovascular Research.

The study was jointly presented by a team led by Professor Wang Yan and senior researcher Chen Jiajing from Xiamen Heart Hospital, Xiamen University and Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University.

Using wearable device data from 85,000 participants, a research team systematically analyzed gender differences in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease through exercise. They found that women require only 250 minutes of exercise per week to reduce their risk of coronary heart disease by 30%, while men require 530 minutes. These data indicate that men need to exercise twice as long as women to achieve the same cardiovascular benefits.

Further analysis showed that among people diagnosed with coronary heart disease, women who exercised 51 minutes a week reduced their risk of death by 30 percent, while men needed 85 minutes to achieve the same result.

Coronary heart disease is a leading cause of death. Organizations such as the World Health Organization recommend that adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week, or at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity, or an equivalent combination of both.

Because some current guidelines still use a “one-size-fits-all” standard of physical activity, experts hope the results of this new research project will guide efforts to prevent and treat different gender groups in the fight against coronary heart disease. -0-

NANNING, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) — A freight train carrying 80 containers of Australian kraft paper, Singaporean confectionery fat and other goods departed from Qinzhou East Station in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on Wednesday bound for the southwest city of Chongqing.

This event was a landmark: the total volume of rail freight transported along the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor in western China has exceeded 1.2 million standard containers (twenty-foot equivalent units, TEU) since the beginning of this year, an increase of more than 63 percent year-on-year.

As a key logistics link between the inland regions of western China and global markets, this corridor enables, for example, the delivery of new energy vehicles directly from Chongqing and the GCA to markets in the Middle East via multimodal rail and sea transport. The corridor facilitates the export of Chinese agricultural products, enabling products from ASNAN countries, such as Thai durians and Cambodian rice, to reach Chongqing in just 88 hours after being loaded onto a cold-chain vehicle.

According to Wei Wenkang, head of the Qinzhou Port East Station, cargo throughput at the station continues to grow this year. "To date, the total volume of cargo shipped from here has reached 7.16 million tons, an 18.7 percent increase year-on-year, with daily loading and unloading records broken 12 times," he said.

Official data shows that a total of 4.44 million TEUs have been transported along the New Western Land-Sea Trade Corridor since 2021, strengthening its position as a key logistics artery linking China's western region with ASEAN countries, promoting coordinated regional development while deepening opening-up to global markets. -0-

Beijing, November 5 (Xinhua) — This winter, Harbin will offer visitors and winter tourism enthusiasts a "new surprise" – three flagship ice and snow scenic spots, each covering over one million square meters, await them. This was announced at a media briefing held Tuesday by the Heilongjiang Provincial People's Government Information Office.

According to Wang Hongxin, Director of the Harbin City Administration of Culture, Broadcasting, and Tourism, in response to a query from chinanews.com.cn, this primarily concerns the renowned "Great World of Ice and Snow" in Harbin, one of the world's largest ice and snow theme parks. This year, its park area will expand from 1 million to 1.2 million square meters, featuring more modern technology, creative projects for children, structures in exotic architectural styles, iconic decorative installations, and amusement rides.

The second flagship attraction is the International Snow Sculpture Art Fair on Taiyangdao Island (Sun Island), whose history dates back to 1988. By the winter season, its space is planned to expand to 1.5 million square meters, and the total volume of snow used will reach 120,000 cubic meters. Here, visitors will not only be able to admire more than 260 stunning snow sculptures but also admire giant pandas playing in the snow, wandering penguins, and the "kings of the forest" tigers. According to the tourism zone's management, this will create an atmosphere of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Another ideal area for winter sports enthusiasts will be the Songhua River Ice and Snow Carnival, which has been expanded to cover 1.45 million square meters. More than 60 recreational activities will be available on the vast frozen river surface, including snow drifting, snow carting, hovercraft, and snowmobiling. Giant snowmen will also grace both banks.

In addition, this winter, more than 20 ski slopes will open throughout the city, and the associated tourist infrastructure will be modernized.

It's worth noting that Harbin is traditionally very popular with Russian tourists in winter. According to statistics, Harbin is expected to welcome 135 million tourists in the 2024-2025 winter season, including approximately 6.3 percent foreign tourists, a significant proportion of whom were from Russia. Industry experts predict that this winter, thanks to China's visa-free regime for Russian citizens, introduced in September, Harbin will welcome even more tourists from that country.
