BEIJING, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) — The number of China-Europe freight trains passing through the Ereen railway port in North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region reached a record high of 3,986 in 2025, the Neimenggu Ribao daily reported.

The Ereenhot checkpoint is a key hub in the central corridor of international railway freight transport between China and Europe, as well as in the China-Mongolia-Russia economic corridor.

Since 2013, when China-Europe trains began operating through the Erenhot checkpoint, more than 21,000 such trains have passed through. The range of goods carried by these trains is becoming increasingly diversified, including not only metals, chemicals, clothing, footwear, and headwear, but also high-value-added products such as new energy vehicles, electronics, and household appliances.

Last year, to ensure the smooth operation of China-Europe trains, the Ereenhot railway checkpoint continued to improve the integrated operation model of the station of the same name and the Mongolian station of Dzamyn-Ude, ensuring the timely exchange of information between them on the composition of the traffic flow and facilitating the resolution of problems such as the reception and departure of trains, loading and unloading operations, and the regulation of traffic flow.

At the same time, the Ereenhot Port has maintained close ties with customs and border control and made significant efforts to build a “digital port” to improve customs clearance efficiency for China-Europe freight trains. -0-

Conakry, January 4 (Xinhua) — Guinea's Supreme Court on Sunday evening validated the final results of the December 28, 2025, presidential election, declaring Mamady Doumbouya the winner with 86.72 percent of the vote and proclaiming him President of Guinea.

At a press briefing, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Fode Bangura, officially announced the election of M. Dumbuya as president for a seven-year term in accordance with the country's constitution.

According to previously published data from Guinea's Directorate General of Elections, approximately 6.8 million voters were registered to participate in the elections. Voter turnout was initially announced at 80.95 percent, but was later revised by the Supreme Court and increased to 82.86 percent.

The presidential election marked a major step in Guinea's efforts to restore constitutional order. In September 2021, then-President Alpha Condé was overthrown in a military coup, leading to the establishment of a transitional government led by M. Doumbouya.

BEIJING, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) — State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Chen Binhua on Sunday warned that separatist forces will never be allowed to separate Taiwan from China under any pretext or by any means.

Chen Binhua made the statement while responding to a media question about a proposal by some lawmakers from Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to revise the island's current regulations on cross-strait relations.

According to the official representative of the office, this proposal disregards the prevailing public opinion in Taiwan and the well-being of the island's residents, openly challenges the historical and legal fact of Taiwan's belonging to China, and is a futile attempt to change the status quo, according to which there is only one China in the world, while the mainland and Taiwan belong to the same China.

According to Taiwanese media reports, the DPP lawmakers' proposal aims to revise the definition of cross-shore relations to define them as relations between "Taiwan and the People's Republic of China" and remove the phrase "until national reunification" from the existing provision.

"This is a blatant attempt to achieve de jure 'Taiwan independence,' a deliberate attempt to escalate tensions between the two sides, and a serious undermining of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait," Chen Binhua said, adding that this fully exposes the essence of Lai Qingde and the DPP administration as "notorious destroyers of peace, perpetrators of crises, and warmongers."

As Chen Binhua emphasized, the mainland is fully confident in its own strength and has sufficient potential to smash to pieces any separatist plans.

The spokesperson for Taiwan Affairs of the State Council Office of the People's Republic of China warned that if separatists dare to act recklessly and cross the red line, the mainland will take decisive measures in accordance with the PRC Anti-Secession Law. –0–
