WASHINGTON, July 13 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday urged his supporters to stop attacking Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Justice Department's recent findings regarding sex trafficking defendant Jeffrey Epstein.

“What is happening to my ‘boys’ and in some cases ‘girls’?” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “They are all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi who is doing a fantastic job! We are on the same team, MAGA, and I don’t like what is happening,” he added.

He urged his team "not to waste time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein, a man no one cares about."

Trump's defense comes amid a backlash over the Epstein files. On Monday, the Justice Department released a memo saying there was no evidence Epstein had a "client list" or was murdered, prompting disbelief in the findings and criticism of the investigation by Trump's political allies.

For years, D. Trump and his supporters have been advocating for the release of Epstein's client list. –0–

URUMQI, July 13 (Xinhua) — China completed construction on Sunday of a 4,197-km ultra-high-voltage (UHV) power transmission line around the Tarim Basin, home to the country's largest desert, marking a milestone in infrastructure development in the southern part of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

The largest project of its kind in the country, the 750-kV ring transmission line consists of nine substations and nearly 10,000 steel towers, according to the Xinjiang-based local company in charge of implementing the project, which is part of the Xinjiang branch of China National Grid Corporation.

The said power transmission line took 15 years to build and is expected to be officially commissioned by November 2025, the company said.

The Tarim Basin is home to the Taklamakan Desert, the world's second-largest shifting sand desert. For centuries, sandstorms have battered the oases of southern Xinjiang, hampering development in the region.

Officials and experts believe the project could accelerate development in southern Xinjiang and provide new energy sources across the country. -0-

BEIJING, July 13 (Xinhua) — A total of 131,000 standard containers of cargo were shipped from east China's Zhejiang Province via the Yixinou (Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe) route on China-Europe international rail freight services in the first half of 2025, up 11.1 percent year on year, according to data from Hangzhou Customs.

According to the official website of the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China, there are currently 26 regular cross-border routes within the framework of China-Europe rail freight transportation, linking Zhejiang Province with more than 160 cities in more than 50 countries on the Eurasian continent. The volume of goods sent by China-Europe trains maintains stable growth.

In order to ensure the steady growth of the range and quantity of goods transported along Yixinou routes, Hangzhou Customs has taken a series of measures to simplify customs clearance, such as opening a “green corridor” for China-Europe trains and pre-registration for customs clearance of goods on a 24/7 basis /24 hours a day, 7 days a week/.

The Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe international freight railway route was officially launched in November 2014. It starts in Yiwu, known as the “world supermarket,” passes through Xinjiang to Kazakhstan, crosses the territories of Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany, France and ends in Madrid, Spain. The total length of the line is more than 13 thousand km. -0-

ALMATY, July 13 (Xinhua) — Cities today are not only economic hubs but also diplomatic centers, Serik Korzhumbayev, editor-in-chief of the Delovoy Kazakhstan newspaper, said in a recent exclusive interview with Xinhua at the "Dialogue of Mayors of the World – SCO Summit Cities" event held in Tianjin.

According to him, participation in the SCO cities dialogue has shown that respect for cultural diversity, dialogue at the people level and real cooperation at the city level are becoming the most important for the sustainable development of the countries of the region. Kazakhstan, as a bridge between the East and the West, between China and Central Asia, plays a key role in this process.

"Today we see how the humanitarian dimension is coming to the forefront within the SCO. It is especially important that the younger generation of the SCO member states have the opportunity to exchange experiences, learn from each other, and understand the values of their partners. This is the foundation for long-term peace and sustainable development," said S. Korzhumbayev.

The expert also stressed that cities like Tianjin are becoming a model of “modernization with a human face,” where technology serves not only efficiency, but also the comfort of life, ecology, and safety.

The Tianjin meeting in preparation for the SCO summit this fall was a convincing confirmation that cities are becoming “laboratories” of a new format of international cooperation – more humane, technological and environmentally friendly. These cities are where connections, trust and images of the future are formed that will determine the course of development of the entire Eurasian space. –0–

BEIJING, July 13 (Xinhua) — Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Jiang Bin on Sunday denied Japanese claims that Chinese military aircraft flew "abnormally close" to Japanese aircraft, saying China's actions were legal and professional.

Japan Air Self-Defense Force reconnaissance aircraft have repeatedly entered China's air defense identification zone over the East China Sea to conduct close-range reconnaissance, Jiang Bin said.

Jiang Bin said Chinese military aircraft had taken measures to identify, track and monitor the Japanese aircraft in accordance with the law. "Our response was completely legal, reasonable and professional in accordance with standards," he said.

The interference caused by Japanese military vessels and aircraft to the Chinese side during close-range reconnaissance and pursuit is a source of security threats in the maritime and airspace between China and Japan, Jiang Bin said.

"We call on the Japanese side to work with China to create an atmosphere conducive to the stable development of bilateral relations," the Chinese defense official added. -0-
