LANZHOU, July 20 (Xinhua) — Six people, including an investor, director and cooks of a kindergarten, were arrested in northwest China's Gansu Province after deliberately adding toxic lead dyes to baby food, poisoning 247 preschoolers, the government's investigation revealed Sunday.

An investigation by Gansu provincial authorities involving state environmental and health experts concluded that cooks at Heshi Peixin Kindergarten in Maiji District, Tianshui City added dyes labeled “inedible” to flour to make corn buns with sausage and date cakes. The baked goods were served to children and staff several times a month since May 2024.

The director of the kindergarten, with the approval of the investor, advised the cooks to make the food more colorful and attractive. Laboratory analysis of food samples from the kindergarten revealed excess lead concentrations, which amounted to 1,340 mg/kg in corn buns and 1,052 mg/kg in date cakes, which is significantly higher than the permissible levels.

Based on the testing results, 247 of the 251 children had abnormal blood lead levels, including 14 cases that were found on retesting. In addition, 28 staff members had elevated blood lead levels.

As of Sunday afternoon, all 247 children had been treated in hospital or with clinical nutrition at home. A total of 234 children had completed the first course of treatment and were discharged from hospitals, with one child still hospitalized. Five children who left the daycare last year were also found to have abnormal blood lead levels and are currently being treated at home with clinical nutrition.

According to the experts' conclusion, after providing medical assistance, the level of lead in the patients' blood decreased by 40.21 percent, which corresponds to the therapeutic goal.

Law enforcement arrested six suspects, two of whom were remanded in custody and three of whom were released on bail pending investigation. The investigation into the case is ongoing. The provincial disciplinary authorities are investigating 10 local officials, including the head of the provincial health committee and Tianshui city leaders.

The Gansu provincial government has promised to provide all-round support for medical care for children, including providing free treatment and financial assistance to families who choose to receive treatment in other regions. –0–

Moscow, July 20 /Xinhua/ — Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, speaking about the “anti-Russian militaristic ecstasy” in Europe over the issue of arms supplies to Ukraine, called this a very dangerous trend in general, which Russia takes into account and makes its plans based on it.

"Anti-Russian and militaristic ecstasy, thank God, has not yet found common understanding." "But the trend as a whole is, of course, very bad and very dangerous," the Kremlin spokesman said in an interview with the author and co-host of the program "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" Pavel Zarubin.

“And we see this, we take this into account and proceed from this when drawing up our future plans,” D. Peskov pointed out.

As he noted, a number of Western countries “are creating an enemy for themselves, conducting such concentrated professional work both in their own society and abroad in order to present Russia as the spawn of hell.” “And in order to ensure the continuation of the war, in order to suppress Russia, this discussion is taking place about who will pay for the holiday,” added the press secretary of the Russian president.

D. Peskov noted that Germany is the economic locomotive of Europe, but it cannot bear the burden of paying for arms supplies to Ukraine alone.

Commenting on the statements of US President Donald Trump on the Ukrainian settlement, D. Peskov stated that "Russia is ready to move quickly. The main thing for us is to achieve our goals."

“Our goals are clear, they are obvious, they do not change,” he emphasized.

According to Russian media, in March the European Union, under the pretext of a threat from Russia and Belarus, agreed on a plan to militarize Europe. The EU announced an increase in military spending and the development of circular defense plans.

D. Trump announced on July 14 that the United States would sell modern weapons to NATO member states for delivery to Ukraine. Western media reported that Hungary, Italy and France refused to finance such purchases. –0–

TOKYO, July 20 (Xinhua) — Japan's ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Komeito Party will struggle to maintain a majority in the House of Councillors (upper house of parliament) following Sunday's election, media reported.

Voting in the upper house elections, where half of the legislators were up for reelection, ended at 8 p.m. local time. The ruling coalition risks losing its majority, public broadcaster NHK reported, citing its exit poll.

Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's LDP and its coalition partner Komeito need to win at least 50 of the 125 possible seats to secure a majority. NHK predicts they could win between 32 and 51 seats.

An exit poll by the Kyodo Tsushin news agency also showed the ruling bloc struggling to maintain a majority in the 248-seat House of Councillors.

The LDP and Komeito currently have 75 seats in the upper house. As Kyodo Tsushin noted, the coalition's failure to secure another 50 seats in this election will lead to political instability in Japan, as Shigeru Ishiba will have to seek support from opposition parties.

The ruling coalition has already lost its majority in the more powerful House of Representatives (lower house) in the October 2024 general election, forcing Shigeru Ishiba to form Japan's first government without a parliamentary majority in more than three decades. –0–

“How lovely the muscular texture and expression of the ballerina’s face are!” she said. “I have heard admiration from other young visitors, and I believe that such a masterpiece contributes to the aesthetic education and upbringing of children.”

Khankendi /Azerbaijan/, July 20 /Xinhua/ — "We have reached one of the highest levels of interstate relations with the People's Republic of China," Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said on Saturday, answering a question from a Xinhua correspondent during the third Shusha Global Media Forum held in the city of Khankendi.

Speaking about the Azerbaijani-Chinese relations, President I. Aliyev emphasized that they are at the stage of “comprehensive strategic partnership”. “We have met with Chairman Xi Jinping several times – last year on the sidelines of the international summit and this year during the state visit. As a result, two key documents were signed: on strategic partnership and on comprehensive strategic partnership,” he said.

I. Aliyev particularly emphasized Azerbaijan's support for the one-China principle. "We have always supported China's territorial integrity, including Taiwan and other sensitive issues," he stressed.

The head of state also noted that the visa regime between the two countries has been significantly simplified: “Azerbaijan abolished visas for Chinese citizens a year ago, and just the other day China abolished visas for Azerbaijani citizens. This will give new impetus to exchanges between students, tourists and businessmen.”

He also recalled that Baku actively supports the Belt and Road initiative and invests in transport and logistics infrastructure.

“We see great potential, especially in logistics and trade,” he noted, adding that Chinese container trains are increasingly passing through Azerbaijan, which contributes to the growth of the country’s transit potential.

I. Aliyev also named energy partnership among the key areas. “Chinese companies are participating in the construction of solar power plants, supplying panels, and recently cooperation has begun in the field of wind energy,” he noted.

On July 19, the third Shusha Global Media Forum opened in Khankendi on the topic “Digital Transitions: Strengthening Information and Media Resilience in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.” –0–
