Beijing, September 29 (Xinhua) — Digital technologies and modern Generation Z are fundamentally changing the landscape of cultural interaction between Russia and China, serving as key drivers of its democratization and intensification. This assessment was given by Tatyana Urzhumtseva, Counselor at the Russian Embassy in China and Director of the Russian Cultural Center in Beijing (RCC), in an interview with a correspondent from the China News Service.

In her opinion, modern technologies, by erasing geographical and financial barriers, have opened a new era in humanitarian exchanges.

"Digital technologies create space for dialogue and even polylogue. This is a powerful tool that has made cultural exchange between young people in Russia and China widespread," emphasized Tatyana Urzhumtseva.

She cited the Moscow Cultural Festival held in Beijing in June as a successful example, featuring digital fireworks displays and VR experiences that allowed visitors to experience Moscow while in Beijing.

Tatyana Urzhumtseva assigned a special role to Generation Z in this process. According to her, young people, who are at home in the digital environment, are introducing their peers to the authentic lives of both countries through independent films, video blogs, and cosplay, thereby dispelling stereotypes and creating a new, more sincere image of the neighboring countries.

Tatyana Urzhumtseva expressed confidence that the future of Russian-Chinese cultural cooperation lies in deepening partnerships in the performing arts, film, and publishing, as well as in the joint creation of digital platforms such as virtual museums and online exhibitions.

“This will enrich the content of Russian-Chinese relations, making a new contribution to the diversity of world culture,” she concluded. -0-

On September 25 and 26, 2025, a delegation from the State University of Management held a series of strategic meetings in Khabarovsk Krai aimed at developing the human resources potential of the regional industry.

The event was attended by Vice-Rector Maria Karelina, Head of the Modern Educational Laboratory for the Aircraft, Shipbuilding, and Innovative Transport Industries (CNC Laboratory) Dmitry Nikitin, and research associates of the CNC Laboratory Roman Prodan and Oleg Telnov.

The key event on September 25 was a meeting with Yuri Marfin, Rector of Pacific National University (PNU), and Sergei Afanasyev, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Khabarovsk Krai. They discussed the regional industry's need for personnel skilled in modern materials processing technologies and CNC programming. The parties also noted the importance of practice-oriented student training and targeted employee training programs tailored to the needs of the real economy, as well as the prospects for creating and implementing joint network educational programs for continuing professional education (CPE). The main topic of discussion was leveraging the potential of the state-of-the-art CNC Laboratory, established at PNU under a grant from the Russian Ministry of Education and Science.

"We see significant synergies from combining our expertise with Pacific National University. Joint continuing education programs, based on the capabilities of our new laboratory, will enable us to train highly qualified specialists for the aviation and shipbuilding industries of the Far East," noted Maria Karelina.

On September 26, a delegation from the State University of Management visited key industrial and educational institutions in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

The highlight of the trip was a visit to the Yuri Gagarin Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant (KnAAZ), a branch of PJSC UAC. SMU scientists held a working meeting with the plant's chief engineer and chief technologist, during which they discussed in detail the current challenges of training personnel for high-tech production.

Representatives from our university proposed to the plant's management that they consider the possibility of having plant specialists participate in continuing education programs developed by the CNC Laboratory, which are aimed at improving the skills of engineering and technical staff in the field of automated control program development and work with modern CNC systems.

During the visit, the GUU delegation also visited the machining shops, where they interacted directly with CNC machine operators.

"The company is actively developing its machining operations, and we are ready to offer comprehensive solutions for training and retraining specialists," noted Dmitry Nikitin, Head of the CNC Laboratory.

The next stop on the route was PJSC Amurstal, where the SMU representatives were shown a new area of the company's operations—the development of CNC machining. During the visit, our scientists toured the production facilities, equipped with modern metalworking equipment, and discussed prospects for cooperation in personnel training with the plant's management.

A key part of the program was a visit to Komsomolsk-on-Amur State University (KnASU). The KSU delegation learned about the university's facilities, visiting classrooms and machining workshops. The organization of project activities at KnASU was of particular interest. The parties productively exchanged experiences in implementing external projects commissioned by industrial enterprises, discussed best practices for interacting with the real economy, and explored the possibility of jointly implementing educational projects.

NANJING, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) — Nanjing Massacre survivor Xiong Shulan, 94, died on Saturday, bringing the total number of registered survivors of the tragedy to 25, the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Museum in east China's Jiangsu Province said Monday.

The Nanjing Massacre occurred after the Japanese occupation forces captured Nanjing, then the capital of China, on December 13, 1937. Over the course of six weeks, the invaders killed approximately 300,000 Chinese civilians and unarmed soldiers. This tragedy is considered one of the most barbaric episodes of World War II.

In 1937, after Japanese troops entered Nanjing, Xiong Shulan survived by shaved her head and disguised herself as a boy.

The deceased was a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for 40 years and was passionate about performing kuaiban – folk poems recited to the sound of bamboo slats.

Since the beginning of this year, seven survivors of the Nanjing Massacre have already died, as a result of which the number of people directly involved in those events continues to decrease.

In 2014, the 7th Session of the Standing Committee of the 12th NPC declared December 13 as National Remembrance Day for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre.

The Chinese government also recorded survivors' testimonies, both in written and video form. This evidence of the massacres was inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register in 2015. -0-

BEIJING, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) — A train loaded with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) yarn and thread, departing from Shaoxing, east China's Zhejiang Province, arrived in Kashgar Prefecture in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on Sunday. The cargo will then be transported by road to Uzbekistan via the Torugart border crossing. This marks the first shipment of mixed rail and road freight from the aforementioned city to be sent abroad after transshipment in Kashgar, and marks the opening of a new freight route in Kashgar, the prefectural administration press office reported, citing local customs.

As it turns out, there are currently 16 similar routes operating through Kashgar on a regular basis.

An innovative export cargo transportation model combining rail and road transport was introduced by the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China and China Railway Corporation last September, significantly reducing logistics costs for enterprises and significantly increasing the efficiency of transit shipments.

Over the past year, since the implementation of this model, more than 1,300 consignments of goods within the framework of this type of transportation have undergone customs clearance in Kashgar.

Local customs officials have promised to further strengthen Kashgar's role as a hub for mixed freight transport by rail and road.

Let us recall that, according to the results of the first eight months of this year, the volume of foreign trade of the district amounted to 77.67 billion yuan (10.93 billion US dollars), which is 12.2 percent more than a year earlier. -0-
