Wu Xinbo: This year, the world has been watching China and the US especially closely, and many have come to similar conclusions.

On December 20, the annual Global Times forum, titled "The World Can Trust China: New Path, New Opportunities," took place in Beijing. Forum participants discussed the role of a forward-looking state and the importance of its predictability for the global community.

Wu Xinbo, Dean of the Institute of International Studies at Fudan University, noted that China's development is a process of constant exploration. While this process has not been without challenges, China has demonstrated clarity of purpose and a high level of execution, allowing it to determine the development directions of future industries and trends in international cooperation, thereby earning increasing trust worldwide.

Wu Xinbo emphasized that this year, the international community has been particularly vocal in comparing China and the United States. During his conversations with American officials, he noted that their assessments of China primarily boil down to three aspects.

First, China has clear goals and directions for the next five years, strong executive capacity, and everything proposed can be achieved. In contrast, US policy often fluctuates due to changes in ruling parties, making it difficult to maintain continuity in long-term planning.

Second, successes in projects like DeepSeek have shown many Americans that China not only has manufacturing superiority, but is also capable of making technological breakthroughs and driving economic development through the large-scale commercial application of advanced technologies.

Third, in the area of new energy, many Americans, especially Democrats, believe that China is already at the forefront of global development, while the United States lags behind. They believe the energy sector is tied to a country's competitiveness and economic status. This is precisely why some Americans are concerned, and in some cases even envious, of China.

When comparing China and the United States, Wu Xinbo believes that many in American society not only find it difficult to judge the trend for the next five years, but they are even worried about the political, economic and social situation in the next three years.

Furthermore, since Trump's rise to power, some aspects of the US policy have become regressive, including a focus on unilateralism, the promotion of protectionist tariffs, and an increased emphasis on traditional energy. This has led many abroad to believe that the US is making a strategic mistake in choosing its national development path.

The International Chinese Language Through Song Competition (唱歌学中文-2025) is organized by the Center for Exchange and Cooperation in Language Education under the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and was held in 2025 under the theme "In Harmony with Nature." It attracted 1,471 participants from 57 countries, who submitted 470 creative works. A panel of experts selected 36 winners in six main categories and awarded over 100 incentive and special prizes.

Confucius Institute of NSU This year, the Institute achieved outstanding results: all 12 submitted works were winners, two of which received key awards – the "Chinese Language Charm Award" and "Best Creative Music Video in Chinese." Five "Excellent Achievement" and five "Incentive" awards were also won, and the Institute itself was named "Best Organizer" for the third consecutive year.

Novosibirsk State University students Anna Bezvershenko and Yulia Zhabina won the Audience Choice Award at the international competition. Previously, their video "After the Rain, It Gets Brighter" (雨过天晴) was awarded the "Excellent Achievement" (优秀奖) diploma.

Anna and Yulia won the Audience Choice Award based on the online vote, garnering 57,947 votes, thanks to the enthusiastic support of NSU students, faculty, and friends. The winners' training was supervised by teacher Song Haoyue, who assisted the participants in working on their vocals, Chinese, and the creative concept of the video.

"We drew inspiration for the script from cliched romantic stories. The only challenge was finding the time and energy to rehearse the song and film the video. I'd be happy to continue working in music, but it will likely remain a hobby. I'd also like to integrate Chinese into my work in China or Russia," said Yulia Zhabina.

The winners received audio and video recording equipment as prizes, as well as priority entry to a specialized music summer camp in Chengdu, where participants will learn about China, work with mentors, and perform at various venues.

For NSU students, the competition was not only a creative challenge, but also an opportunity to deepen their language skills and gain insight into China's contemporary musical culture.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump said Monday he would seek to quickly launch the second phase of the Gaza peace plan, stressing that disarming Hamas would be a central condition.

"Very quickly, as quickly as we can, but there must be disarmament," he told reporters while welcoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The president also emphasized that reconstruction of the Gaza Strip could begin "very soon."

The second phase of the peace plan calls for a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, the disarmament of Hamas, the beginning of reconstruction and the establishment of a transitional governing body in the Palestinian enclave.

Gaza health authorities reported on Saturday that the death toll among Palestinians since October 2023 has reached 71,266, with another 171,219 injured.

Since October 10, when the current ceasefire agreement took effect, 414 Palestinians have been killed and another 1,142 injured. –0–

NSU summarized the results of the educational project "Treponema and Scala"

A team of students and teachers Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies The Novosibirsk State University Institute of Medical Technology (IMMT) has summarized the results of the educational project "Treponemas and Scala"—a unique educational event in the field of clinical medicine and medical education. The project received support from the Rosmolodezh.Grants grant competition.

The project was developed during a dermatovenereology course and was the result of collaborative work between students and faculty from the NSU Institute of Medical and Technological Technologies. The idea, conceived by Doctor of Medical Sciences and Professor Irina Gennadyevna Sergeeva, was realized in the form of an educational board game aimed at raising awareness of syphilis—its clinical presentation, diagnosis, prevention, and social significance.

Students from the NSU Institute of Medical and Technical Medicine (IMMT) participated in the game's development: Polina Datta, Valeria Serdyuk, Elizaveta Aleksandrovich, and Anna Deryagina. The team was supervised by Vladimir Vladimirovich Popov, an assistant professor in the Department of Fundamental Medicine at the NSU Institute of Medical and Technical Medicine. As part of the workshop, students Polina Ignatenko and Laura Daudova also created a board game, "Syphilis.Ink."

Both games received high praise from experts and generated keen interest among students, teachers, and doctors, many of whom continue to take the initiative to hold new tours and educational meetings.

The Treponema and Ladders project included a series of in-person tournaments: at NSU (April 2025), at the Batunin Readings conference of dermatovenerologists (PIMU, Nizhny Novgorod), and at the University Meetings interregional conference (December 2025, NSU).

The game format allowed participants to interactively discuss a delicate, yet clinically and socially important topic.

Anonymous testing conducted before and after the gaming sessions demonstrated improved knowledge and clinical judgment, particularly in the areas of prevention and early detection of syphilis, as syphilis in clinical practice often acts as a "great imitator," masquerading as a wide range of dermatological, neurological, and systemic diseases. Therefore, developing clinical judgment skills in students and young professionals, enabling them to consider syphilitic infection as a possible cause of symptoms of various etiologies, is particularly valuable.

Participants highly praised the format, noting the reduced barriers to discussing the topic, and expressed interest in holding similar events regularly. Participants included students, residents, and young doctors, who noted that such games not only build knowledge but also confidence in professional communication with patients.

Novosibirsk State University, one of the country's leading research universities, provided comprehensive support to the project. The university and faculty's support, methodological assistance, organizational resources, and facilities enabled not only the project's implementation but also its further development.

The project was more than just a game initiative—it demonstrated that modern interactive formats make it possible to discuss sensitive clinical topics openly, professionally, and without stigma.
