KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Xinhua) — Openness brings progress, while closedness leads to backwardness, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said on Saturday, commenting on the high tariffs imposed by the United States on various countries.

Amid the ongoing intertwining of changes and chaos in the current international situation, every country must make a choice between unilateralism and multilateralism, closedness and openness, unity and division, said Wang Yi, who attended the ASEAN Plus Foreign Ministers' Meetings in Kuala Lumpur.

China is choosing to be more open, he stressed, explaining that this is not only based on the country's basic experience of development and growth, but also on the inevitable logic of historical progress.

Beijing has taken the lead in lifting tariffs on products from least developed countries and Africa as a whole, fully completed negotiations on the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0, and created a new model of inter-regional cooperation at the ASEAN-China-GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) summit, the minister added.

On the contrary, high tariffs on various countries are a clear violation of World Trade Organization rules, disrupt the stable operation of production and supply chains, and hinder the recovery and development of the world economy, Wang said. He called the move irresponsible, unpopular and unsustainable.

China will continue to firmly stand shoulder to shoulder with countries in the region, promote unity, cooperation and collective strength, and will always be an advocate of multilateralism, a defender of free trade and a champion of open development, the minister stressed. –0–

BEIJING, July 12 (Xinhua) — A delegation from Northeast Agricultural University (NEAU) led by Vice-Rector Chen Qingshan recently visited Russian universities. The visit is aimed at actively promoting a higher level of openness in education in Heilongjiang Province (Northeast China) in the northern direction and creating a vanguard of cooperation with Russia among agricultural universities in the country.

As reported on the official website of SVSU, during his visit to Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University (KSAU), Chen Qingshan held talks with the university's vice-rector Maria Ozerova. Chen Qingshan noted that in September this year, SVSU will send the first group of Chinese students majoring in "Food Technology" to KSAU as part of the training program for studying in Russia. He expressed hope for close cooperation between the parties in the joint training of highly qualified personnel in the agricultural sector for China and Russia. At the same time, he proposed exchanging genetic resources of such agricultural crops as potatoes and wheat, as well as accelerating the construction of a Chinese-Russian agricultural demonstration zone so that the results of cooperation could better serve the needs of the agricultural development of the two countries.

M. Ozerova said that in recent years the two universities have achieved significant results in student exchanges and scientific cooperation. She expressed hope for expanding cooperation in areas such as breeding cold-resistant crops and promoting agricultural technologies so that practical interactions would benefit more industries.

The delegation also visited the Ural Federal Agricultural Research Center. Chen Qingshan noted the outstanding potential of the center in the field of genetic resource reserves and commercialization of research results. He proposed that the parties continue joint research in the field of potatoes, wheat, flax and other crops, providing technological support for Chinese-Russian agricultural cooperation.

By deepening joint training with leading Russian agricultural universities and research institutes, promoting joint scientific research and establishing agricultural demonstration zones, HSAU aims to establish a cooperation model with Russia characterized by the unity of the three components of “education-scientific research-social services” and the deep integration of production, education, scientific research and application. This will comprehensively enhance the internationalization level of the university and contribute to the modernization of agriculture and the expansion of agricultural technology in Heilongjiang Province abroad. -0-

TIANJIN, July 12 (Xinhua) — The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Digital Economic Forum was held in north China's Tianjin City from Thursday to Friday, with the theme of "New Links of the Digital Economy, Jointly Expanding New Horizons of Cooperation."

At the event, participants noted the need to actively promote the interconnectedness of digital infrastructure and jointly expand new space for the development of digital economic cooperation.

“The digital economy is the Silk Road of the new era, connecting countries through data, not through valleys and deserts as was traditionally the case,” said former Egyptian Minister of Administrative Development and former chairman of the Suez Canal Economic Zone Ahmed Darwish.

He said China's BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) and Internet of Things technology solutions are boosting Egypt's computing infrastructure construction, which will greatly benefit the local digital economy.

Chen Zhongyue, Chairman of China United Network Communications Group Co., Ltd, said that building an efficient, intelligent, green and secure regional network infrastructure will help countries make full use of their resources and better integrate into the global industrial chain, supply chain and value chain to achieve common development.

“Chinese enterprises are actively involved in the construction of the 5G network and the construction of a “smart city” in Uzbekistan,” said Daniyar Kurbanov, head of the department for the study of historical and cultural heritage and humanitarian research at the International Institute of Central Asian Studies of Uzbekistan.

He stressed that cooperation between China and other SCO countries is becoming an important benchmark for Central Asian countries in achieving digital transformation.

Let us recall that the forum, jointly organized by the State Data Administration of the People's Republic of China and the Tianjin People's Government, was attended by more than 1,500 guests representing governments, enterprises, universities and think tanks of the SCO member states. -0-

KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, on Friday outlined China's position on the South China Sea (SCS) arbitration case while attending a series of ASEAN Plus foreign ministers' meetings.

Wang Yi said the arbitration, initiated unilaterally by the Philippines, lacked the necessary requirement of prior consultations and did not respect the principle of state consent, which is fundamental to arbitration. Thus, there was no legal basis for it to be heard from the outset.

The move violated the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, which stipulates that disputes should be resolved peacefully through friendly consultations between the parties directly concerned. Wang noted that it also contradicts the Philippines' commitments under bilateral agreements with China and violates the principle of estoppel under international law.

The Chinese Foreign Minister noted that although the arbitration had taken various forms, the substance of the Philippines' claims concerned China's territorial sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and maritime delimitation issues. Territorial issues are outside the scope of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and China had categorically excluded maritime delimitation from binding arbitration in a statement made in 2006, in line with UNCLOS's provisions on optional exceptions to the applicability of the UNCLOS.

According to Wang Yi, of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, only the United States has not acceded to the Convention, while the other four countries, including China, have made similar exclusion statements. The arbitral tribunal has exceeded its mandate and abused the UNCLOS dispute settlement mechanism, undermining the rule of law in international maritime affairs and committing acts contrary to the very Convention to which it claimed to adhere.

Wang Yi stressed that the arbitration tribunal’s decision contained serious factual and legal inaccuracies. In particular, it erroneously classified Taiping Island, the largest naturally formed island in the Nansha Islands with an area of more than 500,000 square meters, as a rock, thereby concluding that no feature in the Nansha Islands could form an exclusive economic zone or continental shelf. The decision contradicts both the facts on the ground and the provisions of UNCLOS. If such a standard were applied worldwide, the existing maritime order would be fundamentally changed, Wang Yi said, questioning whether countries such as the United States and Japan would be willing to give up their maritime claims under this logic.

According to the minister, it is widely acknowledged that the arbitration and subsequent hoopla were orchestrated and manipulated by forces outside the region to undermine peace in the SCS and further their own interests. More and more countries around the world are coming to understand the nature of this farce.

China's position, the Foreign Minister emphasized, is precisely to support the principle of the supremacy of international law and the authority of UNCLOS. Thanks to the joint efforts of China and ASEAN countries, the situation in the South China Sea remains stable, and freedom of navigation and flights is effectively protected.

China is accelerating consultations with ASEAN countries on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea, seeking to create a new atmosphere of peace, cooperation and friendship in the region. Any attempt to stir up trouble or sow discord will fail, the foreign minister said. –0–
