BEIJING, July 12 (Xinhua) — China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) announced Saturday that the country's largest natural uranium mining project produced its first barrel of uranium, marking a new stage in the country's sustainable and rational uranium mining.

The National Uranium No. 1 Demonstration Project in Ordos City, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the country's largest natural uranium mining base by capacity, also set a new record for construction speed, being completed just one year after the foundation was laid.

"This demonstration project is an important achievement in third-generation uranium mining and processing technologies in China," said Yuan Xu, chairman of China National Uranium Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of CNNC.

He added that the project features environmental safety, remote operation control, intelligent analysis, as well as high quality and efficiency.

According to him, thanks to the complete digitalization of the mining process and intelligent analysis, the project made uranium mining more predictable and controllable.

The technologies used in the demonstration project are expected to be fully applied to the development of uranium deposits in the depressions of northern China to support the establishment of additional large-scale mining bases for the resource, CNNC said. -0-

BEIJING, July 12 (Xinhua) — China's position on the "2016 South China Sea arbitral award" is consistent and clear. The "arbitral award" is just an illegal, invalid and non-binding piece of paper, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Saturday.

A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman made the remarks while commenting on the remarks by the Philippine Foreign Ministry on the occasion of the ninth anniversary of the "2016 South China Sea Arbitration Award" and the policy speech by the country's Foreign Minister at a relevant forum.

According to the Chinese diplomat, China does not accept or recognize the so-called “arbitral award” and will never accept any claims or actions based on this award.

Noting that the “decision” does not in any way affect China’s territorial sovereignty, its maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea (SCS), the diplomat emphasized several points.

First, the “arbitral award” violates the fundamental principles of international law. Without fulfilling the necessary precondition of a full exchange of views with China, the Philippines unilaterally initiated the “arbitration,” which violated the consensus reached between the two countries on the peaceful settlement of disputes through consultations. This violates the articles of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, which states that disputes shall be settled peacefully through friendly consultation and negotiation between the sovereign states directly concerned, as well as the principle of “pacta sunt servanda” (treaties shall be respected), the doctrine of estoppel, and other fundamental principles of international law.

Second, the “arbitral award” violates the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea /UNCLOS/. Land territorial issues are not covered by the said Convention. As early as 2006, China explicitly excluded maritime delimitation issues from “binding arbitration” and other procedures. The Philippines ignored China’s statement and insisted on initiating “arbitration proceedings”, which is an abuse of the dispute settlement mechanism provided for in UNCLOS. The “South China Sea Arbitral Tribunal”, by considering the case beyond its jurisdiction and authority, violated China’s right as a State Party to UNCLOS to independently choose dispute settlement methods. Such behavior is completely contrary to the purpose of UNCLOS, seriously undermines the integrity and authority of the Convention, and affects the supremacy of international maritime law. Many authoritative international legal experts, including the former President of the International Court of Justice and a former judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, have pointed out serious errors in the “award”.

Third, the “arbitral award” is contrary to the proven facts related to the South China Sea. There are serious shortcomings in the fact-checking and law enforcement of the “arbitral award,” and the “award” it rendered is riddled with obvious errors and flaws. The “award” characterizes Taiping, the largest island of the Nansha Islands with an area of 500,000 square meters, as a reef rather than an island, and then concludes that none of the islands of the Nansha Islands are suitable for establishing an exclusive economic zone or continental shelf, which is completely contrary to the articles of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Based on this “standard,” many countries’ territorial claims are illegal, and the ocean architecture needs to be rewritten.

China is committed to peacefully resolving disputes with other countries concerned through negotiations and consultations, and aims to fully and effectively implement the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea with ASEAN countries, quickly adopt the Code of Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, and create reliable institutional guarantees for peace and stability in the region, the ministry representative noted.

“We urge the relevant countries to stop referring to this illegal ‘arbitral award’, much less using it as a pretext to violate China’s sovereignty and provoke,” the Chinese diplomat added, stressing that these counterproductive steps will lead to the realization that the game was not worth the candle and now it is time to reap what was sown. -0-

KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, spoke about the South China Sea issue here Saturday while answering questions from reporters on the sidelines of the annual ASEAN Plus Foreign Ministers' Meeting.

According to him, the situation around the SCS is discussed at these meetings every year, and this year was no exception. “What struck me most this time was the obvious temperature difference between the countries in the region and several countries outside it,” Wang Yi said.

At the meeting of the Chinese and ASEAN foreign ministers, the discussion of the SCS was more calm and confident because, compared with other seas in the world, the SCS is clearly stable and has no problems with freedom of navigation and overflight, he said.

Some countries outside the region continue to make irresponsible remarks about the South China Sea. Although their tone has softened considerably this year, they have not stopped, Wang Yi emphasized. They seem to be worried that there will be chaos in the South China Sea, he added. Countries in the region are now well aware of these “old tricks,” the minister believes.

Wang Yi said he proposed to forge a new narrative for the SCS, which should not be associated with friction, conflict or confrontation, but with peace, stability and cooperation. This should be the main narrative in the future, he said.

China and ASEAN countries are working in this direction, the minister stressed. “There is one country that seems to be out of step with the others, but I am sure it will eventually understand. By acting as a pawn for others, you can only become a victim yourself,” he said.

According to Wang Yi, China and ASEAN countries have agreed to update the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea by developing a Code of Conduct that is effective, meaningful and consistent with international law. The parties have agreed to try to adopt the code on schedule next year, the minister said, noting that consultations will be more frequent and the process will be accelerated in the next stage.

Wang Yi stressed that during the meetings, he also outlined China's position on the arbitration case surrounding the dispute in the South China Sea. The case has serious shortcomings in terms of establishing facts and applying the law, and during the proceedings, actions were taken that were justified by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, but in fact violated it, the foreign minister said. The damage from the case to regional peace and stability, as well as the maritime order, is becoming increasingly obvious, he added.

In essence, the so-called arbitration case is a political manipulation, its place is in the dustbin of history, concluded Wang Yi. –0–

TIANJIN, July 12 (Xinhua) — Chinese and Uzbek experts listed the prospects for digital cooperation within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) at the SCO Digital Economic Forum, which was held from Thursday to Friday in Tianjin, north China.

“Chinese enterprises are actively involved in the construction of the 5G network and the “smart city” in Uzbekistan,” said Daniyar Kurbanov, head of the department for the study of historical and cultural heritage and humanitarian research at the International Institute of Central Asian Studies of Uzbekistan.

He stressed that cooperation between China and other SCO countries is becoming an important benchmark for Central Asian countries in implementing digital transformation.

Cooperation with the intelligent education system of Chinese enterprises and research institutes will help SCO countries make progress in developing tools, transforming digital technologies and training qualified personnel in educational public services, he added.

Zhao Hongyu, CEO of local technology company Zhongke Ruiyan Co., Ltd, noted that his company has launched cooperation with the Uzbek side in the field of developing an intelligent learning platform.

According to him, this digital platform, which combines many functions such as training, information exchange and interaction, will provide more opportunities for digital education in Uzbekistan and the training of qualified specialists in the field of digital technologies.

The event, titled “New Links of the Digital Economy, Jointly Expanding New Horizons of Cooperation,” consisted of an opening ceremony, a main forum, four thematic sub-forums and other relevant events.

The forum, jointly organized by the State Data Administration and the Tianjin People's Government, was attended by more than 1,500 guests representing governments, enterprises, universities and think tanks of SCO member states. -0-

KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, spoke to the media on Saturday about China-ASEAN cooperation. He is attending the ASEAN Plus Foreign Ministers' Meetings in Kuala Lumpur.

Wang Yi noted that against the backdrop of the current rampant unilateralism and protectionism, China and ASEAN countries have demonstrated a strong will to support each other, unite and cooperate to jointly solve problems.

He said the meetings had achieved a number of results. First, both sides confirmed the completion of negotiations on the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0 and agreed to submit the relevant document for approval and signing at the leaders' meeting in October. This signaled that China and ASEAN would continue to advance regional economic integration and build a high-level regional free trade network.

Second, China and ASEAN agreed on a comprehensive strategic partnership action plan for the next five years, which outlined more than 40 goals for comprehensive cooperation in various fields, giving strong impetus to bilateral pragmatic cooperation in the next stage.

Third, both sides welcomed the completion of the third reading of the draft text of the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, and agreed to strive to complete the consultations in 2026 and adopt a document that is effective, meaningful and consistent with international law, including the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. This will provide a more solid guarantee for peace and stability in the South China Sea.

The minister noted that China proposes to create a community of shared destiny with neighboring countries and promote their modernization.

All ASEAN countries highly value the China-ASEAN comprehensive strategic partnership and believe that China is the most important dialogue partner of the association, Wang said. China-ASEAN cooperation is the most vigorous and fruitful in the Asia-Pacific region, and Beijing has full confidence in the future of relations with ASEAN, he added. –0–

KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, briefed reporters on Saturday on his talks with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the sidelines of the ASEAN Plus Foreign Ministers' Meeting here on Friday.

Both Beijing and Washington recognize that the China-US relationship is the most important bilateral relationship in the world, affects both countries and impacts the entire world, he said.

The common goal of both sides is to translate the important consensus reached by the two heads of state into concrete policies and actions to ensure that the two giant ships – China and the United States – do not deviate from course, lose speed or collide, Wang added.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Xinhua) — Openness brings progress, while closedness leads to backwardness, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said on Saturday, commenting on the high tariffs imposed by the United States on various countries.

Amid the ongoing intertwining of changes and chaos in the current international situation, every country must make a choice between unilateralism and multilateralism, closedness and openness, unity and division, said Wang Yi, who attended the ASEAN Plus Foreign Ministers' Meetings in Kuala Lumpur.

China is choosing to be more open, he stressed, explaining that this is not only based on the country's basic experience of development and growth, but also on the inevitable logic of historical progress.

Beijing has taken the lead in lifting tariffs on products from least developed countries and Africa as a whole, fully completed negotiations on the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0, and created a new model of inter-regional cooperation at the ASEAN-China-GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) summit, the minister added.

On the contrary, high tariffs on various countries are a clear violation of World Trade Organization rules, disrupt the stable operation of production and supply chains, and hinder the recovery and development of the world economy, Wang said. He called the move irresponsible, unpopular and unsustainable.

China will continue to firmly stand shoulder to shoulder with countries in the region, promote unity, cooperation and collective strength, and will always be an advocate of multilateralism, a defender of free trade and a champion of open development, the minister stressed. –0–
