BEIJING, March 7 (Xinhua) — Top Chinese leaders on Saturday attended deliberations at the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC).

Wang Huning, Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, joined a panel discussion with NPC deputies from Taiwan. He stated that over the past year, efforts have been made to appropriately respond to the complex situation in the Taiwan Strait and to vigorously guide the development of cross-strait relations.

Wang Huning emphasized the need to promote the peaceful development of bilateral relations and advance the cause of national reunification. He also called for resolute opposition to separatist activities aimed at achieving "Taiwan independence" and external interference.

Cai Qi, a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, joined a group discussion of deputies from Qinghai Province (northwest China). He called on the region to pursue differentiated development tailored to local conditions and prioritize environmental protection.

Cai Qi also pointed out that the province should strengthen the sense of community of the Chinese nation and promote interaction, exchanges and integration among all ethnic groups.

Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang, in turn, participated in group discussions with lawmakers from the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions (SARs). He called on both SARs to proactively align with the country's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), better integrate into and serve overall national development, and make an even greater contribution to advancing China's modernization.

Ding Xuexiang called for consistently strengthening and enhancing Hong Kong's status as an international financial, shipping, and trade hub, as well as fully leveraging its advantages in education, science, technology, and talent to promote the long-term prosperity and stability of the SAR. Ding Xuexiang also emphasized the need to further advance the development of the Guangdong-Macao Deepened Cooperation Zone on Hengqin Island.

Tehran, March 7 (Xinhua) — An Iranian military spokesman said on Saturday that "enemy ships" entering the Persian Gulf "will end up at the bottom" of the waterway. Several media outlets reported this.

Meanwhile, according to a statement published on the official news portal Sepah News, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) struck a Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker in the central Persian Gulf, which they said was a US asset.

In a statement, the IRGC identified the tanker as the Louise P, saying it was hit by a drone around midday on Saturday.

It also said that the IRGC had previously declared all Israeli and American assets in the West Asian region to be legitimate targets for the Iranian army.

Earlier in the day, Iran's official news agency IRNA reported that the IRGC struck an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday morning.

According to the agency, the rogue tanker, sailing under the trade name Prima, was hit by a drone after ignoring repeated warnings from the IRGC Navy to ban passage through the Strait of Hormuz for security reasons. –0–

BEIJING, March 7 (Xinhua) — Recent actions by Netherlands-headquartered semiconductor company Nexperia, owned by China's Wingtech, have seriously disrupted normal production operations, China's Ministry of Commerce said Saturday, warning that the Dutch company should bear full responsibility if the moves lead to a new crisis in the global semiconductor industry and its supply chains.

This statement was made by an official representative of the department in response to a media question about Nexperia's mass blocking of its employees' official accounts in China.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce noted that, thanks to the joint efforts of China and the Netherlands, Wingtech and Nexperia are consulting on resolving internal corporate disputes.

At the same time, the Chinese side noted that by blocking the work accounts of its employees in China, Nexperia provoked new contradictions and created additional obstacles to the ongoing negotiation process.
