BEIJING, July 6 (Xinhua) — China will take corresponding measures on some medical equipment imported from the European Union (EU) under government procurement projects in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the Ministry of Finance said Sunday.

When purchasing medical equipment worth more than 45 million yuan (about 6.29 million US dollars), if there is a real need to purchase imported products, the purchaser must exclude the participation of European Union enterprises – except for enterprises with foreign investment from the EU operating in China – after completing the procedures established by law, the ministry said.

For non-EU companies participating in public procurement projects, the share of medical equipment imported from the EU that they provide must not exceed 50% of the total amount in the project contract.

The above measures do not apply to procurement projects in which the need for goods can be met only by means of medical equipment imported from the EU, the Finance Ministry said in a statement.

This notification comes into force on July 6, 2025. With respect to procurement projects for which the winners of the tenders or the results of the transactions have already been announced before July 6 of this year, the above measures do not apply, and the corresponding public procurement contracts can continue to be signed, the ministry said in a statement. -0-

HANGZHOU, July 6 (Xinhua) — An emergency response was activated in east China's Zhejiang Province on Sunday morning to deal with Typhoon Danas, the fourth typhoon this year.

According to the provincial meteorological observatory, Danas is expected to move northeast at 10-15 km per hour, cross the Taiwan Strait from south to north between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, and possibly either pass by or make landfall on the west coast of Taiwan Island.

The typhoon will reach the East China Sea on Monday and may make landfall in coastal areas from central and southern Zhejiang Province to northern Fujian Province in east China after midday Tuesday, the observatory added.

The Zhejiang provincial government called on all coastal regions and various departments to closely monitor the typhoon's development trend, intensify joint consultations and take preventive measures in accordance with the emergency plan. These include sheltering ships in bays, anchoring fishing boats, suspending navigation on sea routes, suspending work on construction projects and closing off marine tourism areas.

China's National Meteorological Center also extended a yellow alert on Sunday for Typhoon Danas, which is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain to parts of the country's south.

Let us recall that China has a four-level typhoon warning system, in which the highest level of danger is indicated by red, followed by orange, yellow and blue. -0-

BEIJING, July 6 (Xinhua) — A Chinese adaptation of "The Marriage of Figaro," one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's most famous operas, will be performed at the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) of China from July 15 to 20.

LUCANIA /Serbia/, July 6 /Xinhua/ — Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Saturday attended a ceremony to mark the opening of the last section of the E-763 "Milos Veliki" highway from Pakovrača to Požega.

The opening ceremony took place at the entrance to the Mugnino Brdo tunnel in the municipality of Lucani in southwestern Serbia. It was attended by Chinese Ambassador to Serbia Li Ming, senior Serbian government officials, representatives of Chinese and Serbian infrastructure companies, and hundreds of local residents.

"This is one of the most important infrastructure projects in our country. Together with our Chinese friends, using their technology and our determination, we overcame all the difficulties," A. Vucic said at the event, noting the contribution of China Communications Construction Group /CCCC/.

The opened 19.56-kilometer section includes two of the longest automobile tunnels in Serbia – Laz /2858 m/ and Muninino Brdo /2861 m/. According to A. Vucic, the project reflects the transformation of Serbia into a strong and modern state with safe and high-quality highways.

Li Ming called the E-763 highway the most important transport artery connecting Belgrade with the Montenegrin port of Bar, as well as with the western and northern regions of Serbia.

The successful completion of the project reflects the experience and dedication of all participants and is evidence of the “iron friendship” between China and Serbia, he added.

Passenger traffic on the new section of the highway will open at noon on Sunday. –0–
