BEIJING, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) — Wang Huning, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), met on Wednesday with a Taiwanese delegation that attended the CPC-KMT think tank forum the day before.

Congratulating the success of the forum, Wang Huning, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, said that the Chinese mainland will strengthen exchanges with Taiwanese political parties, including the Kuomintang, and organizations, as well as with people from all walks of life in Taiwan.

The CPPCC National Committee Chairman pointed out that mainland China intends to unite Taiwan compatriots to promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation and deepen the integrated development of both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

He emphasized that adherence to the 1992 Consensus and opposition to separatist activities to achieve "Taiwan independence" are the common political basis for exchanges between the CPC and the Kuomintang, as well as a fundamental condition for the peaceful development of relations between the two sides, which must remain unshakable under any circumstances.

Wang Huning called for firmly holding the fate of the Chinese nation in one's own hands, resolutely opposing the separatist activities of "Taiwan independence" supporters and the interference of external forces, and further expanding the space for exchanges and cooperation between compatriots from both sides of the river.

"We welcome the broad participation of Taiwan compatriots and enterprises in the implementation of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030)," the CPPCC National Committee chairman said, calling on the CPC and the Kuomintang to take a leading role in matters promoting the well-being of compatriots on both sides of the Strait and the development of cross-strait exchanges and cooperation.

Kuomintang Vice Chairman Xiao Xiu-zen, who leads the Taiwanese delegation, expressed hope that the Chinese on both sides of the Strait would replace confrontation with exchanges and conflicts with consultations, and would devote all their efforts to the revival of the Chinese nation.

The forum, held on February 3, was attended by more than 100 participants from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, including staff from CPC and Kuomintang think tanks, as well as representatives and experts from various sectors such as tourism, industry, science and technology, health, and environmental protection.

Remember history and don't worship foreign idols: Maria Zakharova gives advice to modern students

Maria Zakharova, Director of the Department of Information and Press and official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spoke to students at the State University of Management about the importance of preserving the memory of historical milestones.

"Society must have fundamental knowledge about itself, knowledge of its country, its culture, its history," the guest emphasized.

As an example, she asked a question about the Patriotic War of 1812.

"Who attacked Russia in 1812? Everyone knows it was Napoleon. But what is the name of our sovereign—the one who defeated Napoleon? There's usually silence. Yet this is our leader, our compatriot Alexander I. … Enemies who wanted to conquer us, enslave us, occupy us, wipe us off the face of the earth as a country and a people—reached Moscow. And the Fatherland found the strength to defeat them."

Maria Zakharova recalled that the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is also a monument to the heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812: its interior gallery contains marble slabs inscribed with the names of the heroes who fought and defended our country.

"Why don't we know this chapter of our history? Was it really 2 billion years ago, and we're asking about the name of the last dinosaur? That was only 200 years ago. We know perfectly well who attacked us, but we know nothing about those who repelled them," Maria Zakharova said regretfully.

At the end of the meeting, the Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated this important thesis and called on the students to "remember who won the war of 1812 and not to worship foreign idols, which are nothing more than idols."

As a reminder, the discussion also raised issues such as the specifics of conducting diplomatic meetings with the United States, the degradation of Western elites, relations with China, and the necessary qualities for civil service.

The meeting was held as part of the "People of My Country" project, which brings politicians, public figures, bloggers, and artists to the State University of Management to give open lectures, sharing their life experiences and personal examples of how to achieve success and be a worthy citizen of their country.

What is radiation therapy?

Medical imaging plays a crucial role in cancer care, enabling radiation therapy planning, treatment delivery, and evaluation of its effectiveness. The use of advanced imaging techniques in radiation therapy has revolutionized cancer treatment and improved patient outcomes. In this context, medical imaging serves the following functions.

Assessment of localization and spread of the disease

Medical imaging can determine whether cancer is in its early stages or has spread to other parts of the body. Imaging-guided procedures, such as biopsies, are minimally invasive and essential for accurate tissue diagnosis.

Medical imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) are essential for accurate diagnosis and cancer staging. These techniques help determine the location, size, and extent of tumor spread, as well as its relationship to adjacent tissues and the presence of metastases.

Creating a treatment plan

Imaging is used in treatment planning, ranging from medication and radiation therapy to surgery or, in some cases, palliative care. When planning radiation therapy, imaging creates 3D images of the tumor, allowing for more precise targeting of radiation while minimizing damage to healthy tissue.

Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) utilizes real-time medical imaging during radiation therapy. This method ensures precise and uniform delivery of radiation doses.

The exact expiration date of the New START Treaty is not of fundamental importance, according to the Russian President's press secretary.

Moscow, February 4 /Xinhua/ — The exact expiration date of the Russian-American Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) is not of fundamental importance; the Kremlin has already discussed the consequences of its termination, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

“It’s unlikely to be of fundamental importance,” he said, answering the question of when exactly the New START Treaty expires.

"We commented yesterday on the overall assessment of the consequences of this document's expiration and the American side's failure to respond to our initiative," the Russian presidential press secretary added.

On Tuesday, D. Peskov told reporters that "time is running out, like shagreen leather." "In just a few days, the world will likely be left in a more dangerous situation than it has been up to now. For the first time, the United States and the Russian Federation—the two countries that possess the world's largest nuclear arsenals—will be left without a fundamental document that would limit and control these arsenals," the Kremlin spokesman emphasized.

According to him, this is bad “for security throughout the world, for strategic security.”

The New START Treaty limits the number of intercontinental ballistic missiles and certain other missiles, as well as nuclear warheads, that Russia and the United States can possess. It expires on February 5.

On September 22, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia was prepared to adhere to the stated restrictions for another year after the expiration of the New START Treaty, but this measure was only viable if Washington did the same. However, Moscow has yet to receive a response from Washington.

Moscow, February 4 (Xinhua) – Russia and China are consistently strengthening their foreign policy coordination and acting as a stabilizing factor in global and regional affairs, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in response to a Xinhua reporter's question on Wednesday.

"Let me remind you of what I believe is well known in China and throughout the world: Russia and China, in line with the guidelines of the two countries' leaders, are consistently strengthening foreign policy coordination, which is a crucial component of the Russian-Chinese comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction, and acts as a stabilizing factor in global and regional affairs," the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted.

Commenting on the recent visit of Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu to China, during which he confirmed that Russia resolutely opposes Japan's attempts to accelerate its remilitarization, M. Zakharova noted the similarity between Moscow and Beijing's assessments on this issue.

"We have repeatedly stated that Japan is moving toward remilitarization. Our Chinese friends share this assessment and are very concerned about the current policies of the Takaichi cabinet, including regarding Taiwan," the diplomat noted.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry assured that Moscow will continue to closely monitor the situation. "We reserve the right to take the necessary measures to prevent damage to Russian interests and security in the Asia-Pacific region," M. Zakharova emphasized.

A warm welcome and sincere gratitude—that's how the visit to RUDN University by Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Ghana to Russia, Mr. Koma Steem Jehu-Appiah, took place. A 1985 medical school graduate, he returned to the walls of his alma mater, where he once lived in Block 7 of the legendary student campus.

Strong connection with the alma mater

The meeting with RUDN University Rector Oleg Yastrebov was a true journey into the past. The ambassador reminisced about his student years, his professors, and the rich life in the international dormitory. It turned out he had been in the same year as the current Director of the Medical Institute, Alexey Abramov. Mr. Koma Stay Jehu-Appiah also shared a touching story about his son's name.

"When I studied at RUDN University, Vladimir Frantsevich Stanis was the rector. My wife, also a RUDN University student, and I named my son, who was born in Moscow, after him—Stanis," said Koma Stay Jehu-Appiah.

"The love for our university, the excellent Russian language skills that persist through the years, the warmth, openness, and great professional success of our graduates—after such meetings, you especially understand what a tremendous achievement our university is making on a global scale!" noted Oleg Yastrebov.

Ghana is an important partner of RUDN University:

Today, students from this country constitute the largest group from Africa: approximately 200 Ghanaians are studying at the university. Throughout its history, RUDN has trained approximately 800 highly qualified specialists for the republic. Among its graduates are members of the presidential administration, government officials, and diplomats.

At the meeting, the ambassador and the RUDN University rector discussed prospects for cooperation, including the development of new educational programs, updating agreements with Ghanaian universities, and planning the rector's working visit to the republic.
