BEIJING, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) — Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang on Thursday called on the Philippines to immediately stop its provocative actions in the South China Sea.

He made the statement while commenting at the request of reporters on a recent incident in which more than 10 Philippine service vessels illegally entered Chinese territorial waters near Huangyan Dao, after which they were driven out by the Chinese Coast Guard.

Zhang Xiaogang emphasized that Huangyan Dao is an inherent part of Chinese territory. It lies outside the Philippines' territory, as defined by a number of international treaties.

"The Philippines has repeatedly committed provocative actions that violate China's sovereignty and create tension in the South China Sea. The Philippines is the real troublemaker and destroyer of peace. We call on the Philippines to immediately cease all provocative actions before it is too late," he emphasized.

China will continue to take decisive measures to protect its territorial sovereignty, as well as maritime rights and interests, he concluded. -0-

UN, September 25 (Xinhua) — China supports the creation of a more effective and pragmatic United Nations through reforms aimed at enhancing its quality and effectiveness. Chinese State Council Premier Li Qiang stated this during a meeting with UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock on the sidelines of the general debate of the 80th session of the UNGA on Wednesday.

He also expressed China's firm commitment to upholding the authority and role of the UN.

According to Li Qiang, as the world enters a new period of upheaval and transformation, characterized by growing instability and uncertainty, the role of the UN is becoming increasingly important.

Noting that Chinese President Xi Jinping recently launched the Global Governance Initiative, Li Qiang said the initiative aims to support the UN in fulfilling its proper role in global affairs and encourage countries to cooperate more closely and more effectively address contemporary challenges through the UN and other multilateral mechanisms.

China is willing to strengthen coordination and communication with the UN and all relevant parties to jointly implement the Global Governance Initiative, promote a more just and equitable global governance system, and work to build a community with a shared future, the Chinese Premier said.

Li Qiang called on the UN to achieve balanced progress in all three pillars – peace, development and human rights – and pay more attention to the development agenda.

He said the UN must strengthen global governance in emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, cyberspace, polar regions and outer space, taking into account the legitimate proposals and demands of a vast number of developing countries.

Noting that the Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests, Li Qiang said China believes that A. Baerbock and the UN will continue to uphold the one-China principle.

For her part, A. Baerbock stated that China has always been a firm and strong supporter of the UN and has played a leading role in promoting global development and solving global problems.

She stated that the four global initiatives proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping are fully consistent with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. She also expressed hope for cooperation with China within the framework of this year's UN General Assembly theme—"Better Together: 80 Years and Beyond for Peace, Development, and Human Rights"—to deepen cooperation in three key areas, particularly development, and to jointly advance global peace and development.

Since UNGA Resolution 2758 is unambiguous, the 80th session of the UNGA will firmly adhere to the one-China principle, concluded A. Baerbock. –0–

NEW YORK, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Wednesday expressed hope that Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation will play a role in further deepening exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States to achieve more practical results.

Li Qiang made the statement at a meeting with B. Gates, Chairman of the Gates Foundation, on the sidelines of the general debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.

Li Qiang expressed gratitude to B. Gates and his foundation for their long-term commitment to global poverty reduction, health, development and philanthropy.

Noting that China has made tremendous achievements in the field of healthcare in recent years and built the world's largest disease control and medical care system, Li Qiang said that China is also actively involved in global development cooperation.

China is willing to expand cooperation with the fund, implement more joint projects across the entire healthcare chain worldwide, and actively participate in trilateral and multilateral cooperation with developing countries to bring greater benefits to the people and make greater contributions to global development, the Chinese Premier said.

Li Qiang expressed hope that the fund will continue to strengthen cooperation with relevant Chinese departments and local partners, using relevant platforms to implement cooperation projects.

According to him, the healthy and stable development of Sino-US relations benefits not only the two countries but also the world as a whole.

In the face of growing global challenges, he called on both countries to maintain close cooperation, strengthen and improve global governance, and jointly promote global stability, development and prosperity.

In turn, B. Gates stated that China's achievements in areas such as scientific and technological innovation, artificial intelligence, medicine and healthcare, as well as poverty reduction, have attracted the attention of the entire world in recent years.

He noted that the foundation hopes to further strengthen its relationship with China and carry out more substantive cooperation in the field of global health, especially in developing countries, in order to jointly advance the cause of global development.

Calling the US-China relationship one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world today, Gates pledged that he and the foundation would work actively to promote closer communication and cooperation between the two countries and to jointly address global challenges. –0–

BEIJING, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) — China on Thursday called on the United States to take positive actions, lift relevant unreasonable customs duties and create conditions for expanding bilateral trade.

Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesman He Yadong made the announcement at a regular ministry press conference, responding to questions about China's potential purchases of American soybeans and Boeing aircraft.

According to him, the biggest obstacle currently hindering the normal development of trade and economic cooperation between the two countries is the restrictive measures unilaterally imposed by the United States.

He Yadong emphasized that the essence of bilateral trade and economic relations is mutual benefit and win-win, and that the two countries share broad common interests and have ample space for cooperation in this area.

“We hope that the American side will move towards China to create favorable conditions for the stable, healthy, and sustainable development of Chinese-American trade and economic ties,” He Yadong added. -0-

BEIJING, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) — Business talks were held between enterprises from Heihe and Jinhua, east China's Zhejiang Province, in Heihe, northeast China, on Sept. 23. The talks were titled "Heilongjiang and Zhejiang Provinces Join Forces to Enter International Markets."

According to the Heilongjiang Provincial Government website, the event aimed to deepen cooperation between businesses in the two cities and Russia, as well as to create an effective and practical platform for joint efforts to develop international markets. The meeting was attended by approximately 60 representatives of businesses from both cities and Russian businessmen.

As a key hub for China's opening up to Russia, Heihe is located opposite Blagoveshchensk, the third-largest city in the Russian Far East, and offers unique advantages for trade with Russia. Last year, Heihe's trade volume with Russia exceeded 30 billion yuan, an increase of 15.9 percent and accounting for 96.8 percent of the city's total imports and exports.

Heihe has now established a system of cooperation with Russia focused on energy imports and agricultural and engineering exports. Last year, engineering exports totaled 5.05 billion yuan (up 17.6 percent), while agricultural exports totaled 560 million yuan (up 100.5 percent).

Jinhua boasts a vibrant private economy and a strong industrial base, occupying a key position in the global small-commodity trade market. Representatives from over 20 high-quality Jinhua companies attended the talks, drawn by Heihe's unique advantages and favorable policies, hoping to leverage this opportunity to deepen cooperation with Russia.

The free trade zone's preferential policies and development opportunities were presented in detail during the talks. Companies from both cities reached a number of cooperation agreements and signed various contracts. Participants noted that the meeting allowed them to better understand Heihe's strengths, the political environment, and market demand, laying a solid foundation for future activities in import and export, cross-border e-commerce, and cooperation with Russia.
