BEIJING, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) — China's financial sector has made significant progress during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), with total assets of China's banking industry approaching 470 trillion yuan (66.2 trillion U.S. dollars) as of the end of June this year, ranking first in the world.

China has led the world in foreign exchange reserves for 20 consecutive years and ranks second in the world in terms of stock and bond markets, People's Bank of China (PBOC) Governor Pan Gongsheng said on Monday at a press conference on the country's financial progress during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.

According to Pan Gongsheng, China is a global leader in green, inclusive, and digital finance. China has developed a multi-channel, widely accessible, secure, and efficient network for cross-border payments and renminbi settlements, and its mobile payments are among the world's leaders.

The quality and efficiency of financial services supporting the real economy have improved significantly. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the average annual growth in loans issued to small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises in China exceeded 20 percent, reported Pan Gongsheng.

The financial sector has become more resilient, said Li Yunze, head of China's National Financial Supervision Administration, noting that the combined assets of China's banking and insurance industries now exceed 500 trillion yuan, having grown by an average of 9 percent per year over the past five years, strengthening the country's position as the world's largest credit market and second-largest insurance market.

Li Yunze added that among the world's 1,000 largest banks, 143 are Chinese, and six out of the top ten positions are occupied by Chinese institutions.

Financial services have reached a new level. Over the past five years, China's banking and insurance sectors have provided 170 trillion yuan in new funds to the real economy through various means, including loans, bonds, and equity, said Li Yunze.

Regarding the stock market, China Securities Regulatory Commission head Wu Qing said at a press conference that technology companies are now taking up an increasing share of the stock exchange's A-shares as China strengthens capital market support for scientific and technological innovation.

According to Wu Qing, significant progress has been made thanks to investment reforms, and by the end of August this year, medium- and long-term funds had A-shares outstanding with a total market value of 21.4 trillion yuan, up 32 percent from the end of 2020.

Regarding the foreign exchange market, Zhu Hexin, vice governor of the People's Bank of China and head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, said at a press conference that China's foreign exchange reserves have consistently exceeded US$3 trillion since the start of the 14th Five-Year Plan.

Cross-border bilateral investment and financing remain active, and as of the end of July, overseas institutions and individuals held more than 10 trillion yuan in domestic stocks, bonds, deposits and loans, Zhu Hexin said, adding that cross-border receipts and payments in 2024 will reach 14 trillion US dollars, up 64 percent from 2020. -0-

Hami, located in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, is famous for its sweet melons. Today, the annual "Hami Melon Festival" in Hami has become a true sweet feast. Interestingly, the ancient city of Khiva in Uzbekistan also hosts a "Melon Festival." These two festivals have become a sweet symbol of friendship, strengthening the bonds between the peoples of China and Central Asia.

The cultivation and distribution of Hami melon were closely linked to the ancient Silk Road. Today, Hami melon has become a key economic pillar for the city of Hami.

International cooperation is also an important factor contributing to the continuous breeding progress of Hami melon.

Zhang Yongbing, a researcher at the Hami Melon Research Center of the Xinjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, has long been involved in research and promotion of Hami melon breeding technologies. He said, "We are working with Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and other neighboring countries to exchange melon genetic resources to promote the genetic improvement and renewal of Chinese and foreign melon varieties, increasing the contribution of new varieties to the development of the industry." Zhang Yongbing also noted that melon varieties bred in China, such as "Golden Dragon" and "Golden Phoenix," are already being tested in Central Asian countries.

In June of this year, journalists from 10 countries, including Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Pakistan, visited the city of Hami to jointly report on smart agriculture and rural revitalization.

"Both the Chinese Hami Melon Festival and similar festivals in Central Asian countries are dedicated to the sweet fruit, celebrating the harvest, and sharing joy. It's a vivid manifestation of the cultural affinity between China and its neighboring countries," says Wang Lin, an official with the Yizhou District Committee in Hami City.

In his view, historical trade and cultural exchange created similar traditions. Today, thanks to the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, these festivals are becoming a "sweet link" strengthening mutual understanding between people.

Caracas, September 23 (Xinhua) — The deployment of U.S. troops to the Caribbean threatens Latin America and the Caribbean's status as a "zone of peace," Venezuelan Foreign Minister Iván Gil warned Monday at a meeting of foreign ministers of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) in New York.

According to him, US threats are aimed not only at Venezuela but also at regional stability. "Who could have imagined that an attack on our country would not affect its neighbors or the regional economy?" the minister said.

I. Gil emphasized that Venezuela has no disputes with the United States, but is facing “an attempt at military aggression encouraged by political elements” in Washington.

He noted that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro ordered containment measures "to prevent the escalation of this conflict" and called US claims about official Caracas' connection to drug trafficking "a big lie." –0–

Beijing, September 23 (Xinhua) — The Suifenhe Port, located in Heilongjiang Province on the border between China and Russia, is an important collection and distribution hub for fruits and vegetables destined for the Russian market. Approximately 200,000 tons of fruits and vegetables are exported from China to Russia through the port annually, according to a statement posted on the official website of the Suifenhe city government.

The unique geographical advantages, convenient logistics, and efficient customs clearance at Suifenhe checkpoint provide a reliable guarantee for the export of fruits and vegetables to Russia through this border crossing.

While previously only a few types of fruits and vegetables, including apples, citrus fruits, onions, and cabbage, were exported to Russia through the Suifenhe checkpoint, the export range has now expanded to over 20 varieties. Suifenhe Customs, maintaining close ties with exporting companies, promptly resolves any problems they encounter during declaration and inspection, thereby facilitating the growth of Chinese fruit and vegetable exports to Russia.

Fruits and vegetables have already become one of the main export items through the Suifenhe checkpoint. They primarily go to markets in the Russian Far East, including Primorsky Krai and Khabarovsk Krai.

Li Zhiqiang, director of Yuanfeng Economic and Trade Co., Ltd. in Suifenhe, explained that his company has been involved in cross-border transportation of fruits and vegetables for 30 years. Vegetables are primarily delivered to Suifenhe from the provinces of Shandong, Henan, and Hebei. They arrive daily in the afternoon and can be on Russian consumers' tables the following morning, he said.

Chinese fruits and vegetables are now available in many Russian supermarkets. A Russian merchant named Ivan said that Chinese fruits and vegetables offer competitive advantages in terms of price and quality, making them affordable for ordinary people.
