BEIJING, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Commerce said Wednesday that it has launched an anti-dumping investigation on imports of dichlorosilane (DCS) originating in Japan since Jan. 7, 2026.

The investigation was launched in response to a request filed by a Chinese electronic materials company on behalf of the domestic dichlorosilane industry, the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement.

In response to a media inquiry, a ministry spokesperson stated that preliminary data provided by the applicant indicates that, from 2022 to 2024, the volume of dichlorosilane imports from Japan generally showed an upward trend, while prices fell by a combined 31 percent. Preliminary verification data indicates that these dumped imports have caused damage to the relevant domestic industry, the ministry spokesperson added.

Dichlorosilane is mainly used in the production of various types of microcircuits.

Upon receiving the complaint, the investigative body processed it in accordance with China's current laws and regulations, as well as the rules of the World Trade Organization, the ministry said.

Based on the review results, it was concluded that the application met the criteria for initiating an anti-dumping investigation, and a decision was made to conduct it, the country's trade agency said in a statement.

The anti-dumping investigation will cover aspects such as imports of dichlorosilane originating in Japan between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025, and any injury caused to China's dichlorosilane industry between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2025.

The investigative body will conduct the investigation in accordance with the law, fully ensuring the rights of all interested parties, and will make an objective and impartial decision based on the results obtained, the representative of the Ministry of Commerce of China concluded. -0-

BEIJING, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) — More and more Taiwanese are beginning to realize that the Lai Qingde administration's persistent calls for separatism will only lead to war and disaster on the island, Chen Binhua, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on Wednesday.

Chen Binhua made the statement at a regular departmental press conference, commenting on recent public opinion polls on the island, which showed that more than 60 percent of Taiwanese residents do not want to see themselves or their family members sent to the battlefield in the event of a conflict between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Peace is the shared aspiration of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and national reunification is the only realistic path to Taiwan's future, stated Chen Binhua. He called on Taiwan compatriots to oppose separatist activities, jointly safeguard peace and stability on both sides of the Strait, and promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.

When asked to comment on Taiwanese media reports that public dissatisfaction with Lai Qingde's rule had remained above 50 percent for six consecutive months, Chen Binhua said the Lai Qingde administration had escalated separatist rhetoric, obstructed cross-strait exchanges, made unprincipled concessions to external forces at the expense of Taiwan's interests, and insisted on actions that undermine Taiwan's development and the well-being of its people, adding that these actions run counter to the island's prevailing public opinion.

Responding to a question about the Taiwan administration's claim that the Chinese mainland launched cyberattacks against the island, Chen Binhua said the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) administration in Taiwan is spreading slander and smearing the Chinese mainland to divert attention from its own poor governance. He added that relevant mainland agencies had previously identified and exposed cyberattacks carried out by Taiwan-linked organizations. -0-

BEIJING, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) — China's foreign exchange reserves stood at $3.3579 trillion as of the end of December 2025, up $11.5 billion or 0.34 percent from the level at the end of November 2025, data released Wednesday by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) showed.

The State Treasury Department stated that, influenced by factors such as macroeconomic data and monetary policy in the world's largest economies, the US dollar index fell last month, while global financial asset prices showed mixed dynamics.

The increase in the country's foreign exchange reserves last December was made possible by changes in the exchange rate and asset prices, the department added. -0-

Beijing, January 7 (Xinhua) — Since September 2025, when China introduced a trial visa-free regime for Russians with regular passports, "weekend trips to Dongning" have become popular among them. Furthermore, visiting relatives living nearby on the other side of the Sino-Russian border has become fashionable for residents of both countries.

The Zhongguo Xinwenshe news agency website reports that, according to statistics, as of December 31, 2025, the number of Russian tourists entering and exiting China through the Dongning checkpoint (Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China) exceeded 32,000, an increase of 73.9 percent year-on-year.

The Dongning Port is located in a key area of the Northeast Asian trade and economic corridor and is China's closest land crossing to Vladivostok in the Russian Far East. Over its 36-year development, the Dongning Port has become an important conduit for expanding Heilongjiang Province's ties with the outside world.

Following the introduction of visa-free travel for Russians, the city of Dongning developed a series of cultural and creative souvenirs, "Dongning Gifts," and launched tourism products that better meet the needs of Chinese and Russian tourists. In Dongning, the cultural tourism industry has become a key driver of economic growth and deepening people-to-people exchanges between China and Russia.

It's worth noting that since the dismantling of the toll booth in Dongning last year, it has not only saved time and money on cross-border visa-free travel but also reduced logistics and transportation costs. According to statistics, in the year since the toll booth's dismantling, 190,000 residents and over 3,000 trucks have benefited, resulting in savings of over 25 million yuan (approximately $3.56 million) in tolls for drivers and passengers.

In addition, Dongning City has also established an interdepartmental information exchange and coordination mechanism, and, taking into account the specific nature of visa-free passenger flow from Russia, customs clearance and inspection resources have been dynamically allocated to ensure orderly passage through the checkpoint.

As a reminder, China introduced a trial visa-free regime for Russian citizens holding regular passports from September 15, 2025, to September 14, 2026. Russian citizens holding valid passports can visit China under the visa-free regime for business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, exchanging visits, and transit. Their visa-free stay in China may not exceed 30 days.

BEIJING, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) — China accounted for more than 60 percent of the global growth in courier shipments during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), with nearly 200 billion parcels handled in China by the end of 2025, according to official data released Wednesday.

According to the State Postal Administration (SPA) of China, the operating revenue of China's postal industry in 2025 will reach 1.8 trillion yuan (about 256.5 billion US dollars), and the average annual growth rate of this figure for the period from 2021 to 2025 will remain at the level of 10 percent.

The rapid expansion of the postal industry has resulted in the number of courier parcels per capita increasing to 141 per year, and the daily volume record for the period 2021-2025 reaching 777 million units.

The coverage of courier services in the domestic market has significantly increased between 2021 and 2025, said Zhao Chongju, head of the Prosecutor General's Office of China, adding that free e-commerce delivery services have been extended to remote regions, including the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and the Xizang Autonomous Region.

According to Zhao Chunjiu, over the past five years, the volume of processed express parcels in central and western China has grown significantly, which has helped these regions better integrate into the unified pan-Chinese market.

The postal industry has also undergone a high-tech transformation. Large sorting centers are now largely automated, and drones and driverless vehicles are also used regularly.

According to Zhao Chunjiu, by 2026, the GPU will promote the implementation of unmanned delivery technologies and advance green and low-carbon development in the sector. The GPU is also committed to improving the quality of international logistics services by building more overseas warehouses and air cargo hubs. -0-

BEIJING, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) — Chinese authorities on Wednesday released two separate documents aimed at further regulating the country's e-commerce livestreaming sector and online trading platforms.

New regulations on online live sales, jointly issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the State Internet Information Office, set obligations and behavioral restrictions for business participants.

Under the new rules, live streaming platform operators and marketers are prohibited from engaging in activities such as false advertising, commercial defamation, and the sale of illegal products and services.

Another regulation is devoted to the rules governing online trading platforms, which are aimed at maintaining the orderly conduct of online trading and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of all parties.

According to the new regulations, such platforms must not use their rules to impose unreasonable restrictions on the commercial activities of their own merchants or charge them unreasonable fees, and must not restrict consumer rights, engage in data-based price discrimination, or unilaterally change membership terms.

To ensure effective implementation, the two bodies will strengthen interagency cooperation through information exchange and joint consultations. Online platforms are also encouraged to conduct self-assessments and regularly publish compliance reports. -0-

Vladivostok, January 7 (Xinhua) — Tourists from China's southern provinces have begun visiting Russia's Primorsky Krai, Primorsky Krai Tourism Minister Natalya Naboychenko announced.

As TASS reported on Wednesday, according to N. Naboychenko, the large groups of Chinese tourists often encountered before the pandemic are being replaced by smaller groups. Guests are choosing individual tours and individual options. Tourists from China's southern provinces have flocked to Primorye, a slightly different target audience seeking a higher-quality vacation experience—good hotels, restaurants, and a cultural program.

Previously, the Primorsky Krai tourism industry aimed to attract tourists from the southern provinces of China, who are more interested in individual and exclusive vacations.

The regional Ministry of Tourism predicts a 5-10 percent year-on-year increase in tourist flow by the end of 2025. Total tourist flow in 2025 is expected to exceed 4.3 million people. –0–
