BEIJING, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — More than 56 million parcels were exported through the Alashankou port in southwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the first eight months of this year, authorities in the city said.

During the reporting period, the total value of goods exported in these parcels reached 4.39 billion yuan (approximately 617.8 million US dollars), up 71.4 percent from a year earlier.

According to Kong Xianglin, a representative of a local logistics company, their company has already sent more than 5 million parcels overseas through this channel since the beginning of this year, with the value of exported goods exceeding 300 million yuan and the volume of transactions doubling compared with the same period last year. He added that the company mainly handles parcels of home textiles and electronics this year, which are in constant demand and have an excellent reputation in overseas markets.

In order to expand the parcel handling capacity, an industrial park with an investment of approximately 1 billion yuan was established in Alashankou, a city on the border of China and Kazakhstan. The park includes a comprehensive service center, an international mail exchange point, and various warehouses for collecting and sorting cargo, as well as storing inventory, enabling it to fully cover the export-import models within the fuel and energy sector.

There are currently 15 resident companies in the fuel and energy sector in the park.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday signed a memorandum to deploy the National Guard to Democrat-led Memphis, Tennessee, to combat crime.

“The city of Memphis, Tennessee, is suffering from a high rate of violent crime that exceeds the ability of local government to effectively respond,” said the memorandum signed by the president in the Oval Office of the White House.

In recent months, Memphis has become the third U.S. city to deploy National Guard troops, following Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.

The memorandum calls for the creation of a task force tasked with ensuring safety in Memphis, including through close coordination with state and local officials in Tennessee, Memphis and neighboring jurisdictions.

Memphis ranked first in the United States for violent crime in 2024, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a White House fact sheet noted. “Memphis has some of the highest rates of murder, robbery, aggravated assault, and property crime in the nation,” the document said. –0–

Day of liberation of Novorossiysk from Nazi troops

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Official website of the State –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 16, 1943, the city of Novorossiysk was completely liberated from the fascist invaders. This victory stopped the Wehrmacht's advance in the southern direction, forced them to leave the Caucasus and abandon attempts to reach the Baku oil wells, and also returned the waters of the Black, Azov and Caspian Seas under the full control of the Soviet fleet.

The German army captured Novorossiysk in early September 1942. The enemy had built over 300 defensive structures in the city, dug five lines of trenches, installed barbed wire and about 30 thousand mines. Naval mines were also installed at the entrance to the port, and guns and machine guns were placed on all the piers and moles. The city was considered impregnable from the sea.

The Battle of Novorossiysk, which lasted 225 days, began on February 4, 1943, with a landing in the area of the village of Stanichki under the command of Major Caesar Kunikov. Initially, the operation was planned as a diversionary strike, but it turned out to be a key stage of the battle. 400 paratroopers managed to capture a coastal bridgehead of no more than 30 square kilometers. The sea was behind them, the enemy was ahead, and there was nowhere to retreat. At first, the Red Army soldiers repelled 15-20 attacks per day. On the third day, Major Kunikov died. At the cost of incredible efforts, the bridgehead was held, reinforcements began to arrive, and provisions and ammunition were delivered from the air. This patch of land, which had constantly threatened the Nazis' right flank for more than seven months, went down in history under the name Malaya Zemlya.

It is interesting that the future General Secretary of the CPSU Leonid Brezhnev, a colonel in those years and head of the political department of the 18th Army, fought on Malaya Zemlya. He was wounded there and later received the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree, for his participation in the battles for the liberation of Novorossiysk.

The main assault began on September 10, 1943, with three groups of troops, one of which attacked from Malaya Zemlya, the second from the Tuapse Highway, and the third from the sea. The operation was supported from the air by 148 aircraft. Particularly heavy fighting took place for the area of the Krasny Oktyabr cement plant, the village of Turkish Garden, the power plant, the Proletary cement plant, and Sakharnaya Golova Mountain. Thanks to the courage and coordinated actions of the army and navy, Novorossiysk was completely cleared of the enemy by 10 a.m. on September 16.

The contribution of the sapper units to the victory is worth mentioning separately. It was they, under the leadership of engineer captain Kirill Turbaevsky, who made Malaya Zemlya impregnable, digging a trench in the rocky ground with titanic efforts and setting up hundreds of firing points and hidden observation posts. In September 1943, sappers, under heavy fire from the Germans from Sakharnaya Golova, established a crossing over Kamyshovskaya Gully, manually pouring a stone bridge along which Soviet tanks entered the city. And after the end of the fighting, they also freed the city from the enemy legacy in the form of tens of thousands of mines.

For their bravery in the battles for Novorossiysk, 19 units and formations of the Red Army received the honorary title of "Novorossiysk", 21 defenders of the city and Malaya Zemlya were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, hundreds of fighters received orders and medals. And on September 14, 1973, in honor of the 30th anniversary of liberation, Novorossiysk received the title of Hero City.

Eternal glory to the defenders of the Motherland!
