JERUSALEM, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) — Some 300,000 people have fled Gaza City amid intense Israeli strikes, Israel Defense Forces Radio reported Sunday, citing security officials.

Gaza's Health Ministry said on Sunday that at least 68 Palestinians have been killed and 346 wounded in Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours, mostly in the northern Gaza Strip.

The strikes destroyed at least two multi-story buildings in Gaza City, including one belonging to the Islamic University that housed displaced persons. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz shared a video on social media showing the university building being bombed and collapsing.

The Israeli military confirmed it had hit two high-rise buildings, claiming Hamas was using them for intelligence gathering and surveillance.

Israel has said it plans to capture Gaza City, where about a million people lived and sheltered before the offensive, as part of its stated goals of eliminating Hamas and freeing nearly 50 hostages held by the group.

Since October 2023, Israeli military operations have killed more than 64,000 people in Gaza, according to Gaza health authorities, and much of the enclave has been reduced to rubble and starvation is spreading. –0–

China Shares 'Intellectual Dividends' with the World

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

CHONGQING, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) — At the recently held 2025 World Intelligent Industry Expo in southwest China's Chongqing City, a visitor got into a car and gave a simple voice command. Within seconds, the air conditioner adjusted, the seat massage started, and soft music began playing.

Meanwhile, a few kilometers away from the exhibition center, a smart home system greeted the owner, automatically setting the room temperature and closing the curtains. This seamless integration of smart technology into everyday life embodies China's rapidly developing smart industry, which is becoming a catalyst for global cooperation.

“Unlike earlier models that performed rigid, repetitive tasks, today’s intelligent cars offer emotionally responsive interactions,” said Hao Chengye, product manager at Changan Automobile. “By monitoring the driver’s mood, the car can adjust ambient lighting and fragrances, and even control home devices in real time.”

Innovations like these are a microcosm of China’s broader intellectual ecosystem. From artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics to smart homes, new technologies are changing industry and lifestyles, fueling ongoing social transformation.

China’s intelligent economy is expanding at a staggering pace. Its industrial output in 2024 will exceed 700 billion yuan (about $98.6 billion), maintaining an average annual growth rate of over 20 percent for several years. China has also remained the world’s largest industrial robot market for 12 consecutive years, with service robot output growing 34.3 percent year-on-year to reach 10.519 million units in 2024.

China has been actively pursuing international partnerships, as demonstrated by initiatives such as the World Organization for Artificial Intelligence Cooperation and the Global Action Plan on AI Governance. At the recent Chongqing Expo, China reaffirmed its commitment to deepening global cooperation on AI and advancing a shared vision for technology governance.

Chinese companies have already made strides overseas. In June this year, unmanned logistics vehicle maker Zelos became the first company to receive a driverless logistics license in Singapore. In addition, SaaS transcription software iFlyTek now serves more than 1.5 million users overseas and has entered the supply chains of several European and American multinationals.

“The integration of AI into various industries in China opens up enormous opportunities for international cooperation,” said Stefan Sprink, CEO of German AI company ComPro GmbH. “We have already established several partnerships with Chinese companies and are optimistic about future cooperation.”

At the core of this technological revolution is a human-centered philosophy. For example, Chongqing Haifu Medical Technology, a world leader in focused ultrasound, has exported its non-invasive tumor treatment system “Haifu Knife” to 35 countries and regions, providing care to more than 330,000 patients.

“Our equipment has been installed in more than 3,000 domestic medical institutions and more than 80 overseas hospitals in countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative,” said Xu Shu, head of Haifu Medical’s marketing department. “In March, we performed the world’s first surgery using 5G-guided remote focused ultrasound, successfully treating a patient in Kenya.”

In 2024, DeepSeek opened its cutting-edge AI architecture to the global community, sparking a wave of innovation. At one point, Chinese models occupied four of the top five spots in open-source rankings.

This spirit of openness extends to public goods as well. In August, the China Meteorological Administration launched the AI-based multi-hazard warning system “MAZU” and donated its urban disaster prevention module “MAZU-Urban” to international partners. Since January, the system has been trialed in 35 countries in Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

From Braille displays that help the visually impaired to health-monitoring sleep lamps and bionic rehabilitation robots, smart devices built with empathy are entering homes across China.

“Robots don’t have to be cold machines, and innovation should be human-centered,” said Xi Ee, brand director of Chongqing Industrial Innovation Park. “We aim to expand innovation in homes, healthcare and open spaces so that everyone can share in the intellectual dividends.” -0-

Hamas spokesman says prisoner swap talks suspended after Israeli attack on Doha

GAZA, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) — Hamas said Sunday it had suspended prisoner swap talks with Israel, accusing Israel of attacking its delegation at the talks in the Qatari capital Doha last week.

"Negotiations cannot continue if the delegation responsible for them is attacked in the country acting as a mediator," said senior Hamas official Taher al-Nunu.

Last Tuesday, Israeli airstrikes hit residential compounds in Doha that Hamas leaders were using to discuss a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal. A delegation led by senior Hamas official Khalil al-Haya survived, but five Hamas members and a Qatari security official were killed, the group said.

T. al-Nunu accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of obstructing efforts to achieve both a truce and a prisoner exchange, and warned that an intensification of Israeli strikes on residential buildings in Gaza could endanger Israeli prisoners held there.

“The only logical solution is for the international community to accept and implement the decision to end this war,” he said.

T. al-Nunu also criticized US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit to Israel on Sunday, saying Hamas does not expect any change in Israel's position.

The comments come as Israeli airstrikes have decimated residential buildings in Gaza City in recent days, killing dozens, according to Palestinian health officials. Israel says its operations target infrastructure and Hamas militants, while the Palestinians say civilians are bearing the brunt of the attacks.

Qatar, Egypt and the US have been trying to broker a truce and prisoner swap since the recent war in Gaza began, but the Doha strike has cast doubt on the prospects for progress. –0–
