Beijing, January 4 (Xinhua) — China consistently opposes the threat or use of force, as well as any imposition of one country's will on another. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated this on Sunday, commenting on the situation in Venezuela.

Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks during the 7th round of the China-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue at the foreign minister level in Beijing, which he co-chaired with Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar.

The Chinese diplomat noted that the current international situation has become even more chaotic and confusing, and one-sided bullying is intensifying.

As Wang Yi pointed out, the sudden change in the situation in Venezuela has attracted increased attention from the international community.

“We have never shared the view that any country can play the role of the world’s policeman or pose as an international judge,” Wang Yi emphasized, adding that the sovereignty and security of all states must be fully protected by international law. –0–

BERLIN, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) — German Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil said Sunday that the US intervention in Venezuela "raises serious concern" and stressed the need to comply with international law.

"International law must be respected. This also applies to the actions of the United States," the German news agency DPA quotes L. Klingbeil as saying.

L. Klingbeil, who is also co-chairman of the ruling Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), emphasized the importance of preventing further escalation of the situation.

He called on all parties to "find a path to a peaceful transition to democracy in Venezuela," adding that the Venezuelan people must be able to determine their own future.

As US President Donald Trump reported on the social network TruthSocial, on January 3, the United States launched a major strike on Venezuela, during which the President of this South American country, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife were “captured and taken out of the country.” –0–

Vienna, January 4 (Xinhua) — The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its partner countries, known collectively as the OPEC group, have decided to maintain a pause in increasing oil production in February and March due to seasonal factors, OPEC said in a statement on Sunday.

The decision was made following an online meeting of OPEC member countries to assess the current state of the global oil market and economic prospects. The meeting was attended by Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman.

Beginning in April 2025, these eight OPEC countries increased oil production monthly. However, at the end of November last year, they decided to suspend further increases in January, February, and March 2026, citing seasonal factors.

As the statement shows, countries intend to take a measured approach and exercise full flexibility to adjust production levels as necessary in line with market changes.

The organization said the next meeting of the eight countries to decide on further action will take place on February 1. –0–

Moscow, January 4 (Xinhua) – 2026 is the first year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan. During this period, domestic demand will become the driving force and stabilizer of China's economic growth. Expanding domestic consumption in China will facilitate the shift of the center of global development from the Western to the Eastern Hemisphere. This was stated recently in an interview with Xinhua by Tlesh Mamakhatov, a leading researcher at the Institute of China and Modern Asia of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ICSA RAS).

"The expansion of domestic demand in China provides greater trade opportunities for developing countries, allowing the center of global consumption and economic development to shift from the Western Hemisphere to the Eastern Hemisphere, with China at the center," said T. Mamakhatov.

“China’s gradual reorientation toward the domestic market is driven by expanding domestic demand in a market with enormous potential, with a population of 1.4 billion people enjoying a high standard of living and consumption,” he added.

"In accordance with the new five-year plan, the Chinese government intends to continue strengthening support for key technological areas of the country's economic development, including strategic next-generation industries such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and new energy technologies—such as the use of hydrogen fuel, in which China is already a world leader and a pioneer in its implementation in industry and transportation," stated T. Mamakhatov.

According to an expert from the Institute of Socio-Economics and Seminars of the Russian Academy of Sciences, "under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, technological innovation and industrial modernization in China have achieved remarkable success in record time. In just a few decades, China has transformed itself from an outsider and developing country into a technological leader and a center of innovative development for the entire world."

According to T. Mamakhatov, "in the next five years, we will probably see a slight slowdown in China's economic growth rate." However, he says, the qualitative transformation of the production structure in favor of high-tech goods will continue. Deepening reforms and openness, active participation in global governance, and the advancement of the Belt and Road Initiative—all of this will be aimed at "achieving China's 2035 goals of building an innovative, green, open, and successful economy," the expert asserts.

Athens, January 4 (Xinhua) — All flights to and from Greece were suspended on Sunday after a nationwide communications outage disrupted air traffic control systems, Greek state broadcaster ERT reported.

The problem, which occurred around 09:35 local time /07:35 GMT/, affected Greek airspace and caused the suspension of arrivals and departures at Athens International Airport, as well as at regional airports.

According to preliminary information, the disruption was caused by a malfunction in the radio communications systems of the Athens and Macedonian air traffic control centers, leading to the closure of the Athens flight information region. Only aircraft already in the air were serviced, while many other flights were diverted to Turkey.

Hundreds of passengers were stranded at airports where they were repeatedly told that flights had been suspended due to a technical problem.

Beijing, January 4 (Xinhua) — The past year, 2025, was the warmest in China since meteorological records began in 1961, with an average temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, the China Meteorological Administration reported on Sunday.

According to Shi Shuai, a senior engineer at the National Climate Center's subordinate department, this figure was 1.1 degrees Celsius higher than the typical national average annual temperature of 9.9 degrees Celsius. He noted that last year, temperatures in 16 provincial-level regions, including the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, as well as Jiangxi and Hubei provinces, reached their highest level since 1961.

From June to August, the average temperature nationwide was 22.3 degrees Celsius, which is also 1.1 degrees higher than the usual seasonal norm, and thus, last year's summer was the warmest since 1961, along with the summer of 2024, Shi Shuai said.

The meteorologist added that last year Beijing saw the highest amount of rainfall since 1961. The duration of the rainy season and the total amount of precipitation during this period in northern China also reached historical highs.

Speaking about the forecast for the current month, Shi Shuai warned that northern regions of China should prepare for possible negative impacts of low temperatures, snowfalls and freezing rain, while southern parts of the country need to take measures in advance against the effects of meteorological drought.

Bishkek, January 4 (Xinhua) — Currently, the greatest threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is separatist actions by forces advocating "Taiwan independence," as well as external connivance and support for these actions. China will never waver in its resolve to defend national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, Chinese Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan Liu Jiangping stated in a written interview with the Vecherniy Bishkek publishing house on Sunday.

Liu Jiangping noted that Taiwan has been an inalienable part of Chinese territory since time immemorial. "The one-China principle—that is, the recognition that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan is its inalienable part, and the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government representing all of China—has long been a recognized consensus of the international community and a fundamental norm of international relations," the diplomat stated.

According to her, the fundamental status quo in the Taiwan Strait is that both shores belong to one China. "I want to emphasize that attempts to achieve 'Taiwan independence' mean the division of China's territory, and supporting such attempts constitutes interference in China's internal affairs, which violates both the PRC Constitution and international law," the Chinese ambassador stated.

The US recently announced arms sales to Taiwan, China, totaling over $11.1 billion. Commenting on this, Liu Jiangping stated that the Taiwan issue is China's most important core interest and represents the first red line in Sino-US relations, which must not be crossed.

"Such actions grossly violate the one-China principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, seriously undermine China's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, send false and dangerous signals to separatist forces advocating 'Taiwan independence,' and undermine peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait," she said. "The US's attempts to 'support independence through weaponry' will ultimately backfire, and the strategy of 'using Taiwan to contain China' is doomed to failure."

Recently, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made a number of erroneous statements regarding China's Taiwan. According to Liu Jiangping, the Taiwan issue is a purely internal Chinese matter, not open to interference from any external forces.

"Strict adherence to the one-China principle is Japan's political commitment to China and international law, which cannot be evaded," she emphasized. "The Chinese people consistently advocate peace and good-neighborliness, but on issues related to state sovereignty and territorial integrity, they will not allow any concessions."

The year 2025 marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in World War II. "The countries of the anti-fascist coalition, including China and Kyrgyzstan, fearlessly fought shoulder to shoulder against the invaders and achieved final victory," the ambassador stated, adding that the international community must firmly defend the correct view of the history of World War II, resolutely resist any attempts to distort it, and consistently support the international system, with the UN at its core, and an international order based on international law.

"We must advance an equitable and orderly multipolarity, as well as a transparent and inclusive economic globalization, deepen mutual learning among civilizations, and promote universal values. We must strengthen cooperation in global governance to effectively address common challenges and protect our shared planet," Liu Jiangping emphasized.

In recent years, China has successively put forward the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative. Liu Jiangping stated that, by implementing these initiatives, China is ready to join forces with Kyrgyzstan and other countries to ensure global peace and development and build a community with a shared future for humanity.

Moscow, January 4 (Xinhua) — The United States has publicly announced plans to sell Taiwan a large consignment of modern weapons. China strongly opposes and condemns these actions and immediately made a serious representation to the United States. This was stated by Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui in an interview with TASS published on Saturday.

"This grossly violates the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiqués, seriously damages China's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, significantly undermines peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and sends a deeply wrong signal to separatist forces advocating 'Taiwan independence'… The Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests and the first red line in China-US relations that must not be crossed," Zhang Hanhui said, commenting on American arms sales to the island.

The Chinese diplomat emphasized China's unwavering commitment to upholding its national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity. "We urge the American side to strictly adhere to the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US Joint Communiqués, fulfill the strict commitments made by the US leadership, and immediately cease its dangerous actions to arm Taiwan," the ambassador emphasized.

As he noted, any actions to arm Taiwan will inevitably entail serious consequences. Any malicious, provocative steps that cross the red line on the Taiwan issue will inevitably be met with a decisive response from China.

Zhang Hanhui emphasized that the real threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is the separatist activities of the Lai Qingde administration, which is promoting a policy of "Taiwan independence," as well as interference from external forces. History will prove that the more the US side condones the provocations of separatist forces advocating "Taiwan independence," the more bitter the consequences will be, the diplomat warned.

He recalled that, in accordance with the provisions of the PRC's Foreign Sanctions Control Law, China has decided to impose retaliatory measures against 20 American military-industrial enterprises and 10 of their senior management, who have been involved in arming Taiwan in recent years. On December 29, 2025, the People's Liberation Army's Eastern Zone Combat Command began the "Just Mission 2025" exercise. The ambassador emphasized that all these steps serve as a serious warning to separatist forces advocating "Taiwan independence" and to external meddling forces, and are legitimate and necessary actions to protect state sovereignty and preserve national unity.

According to Zhang Hanhui, as comprehensive strategic partners of coordination in the new era, China and Russia have consistently provided firm mutual support on issues affecting each other's core interests and major concerns. China expresses its appreciation and commends Russia for its consistent and firm position and actions in supporting China on the Taiwan issue.

“We are ready to work with the Russian side to implement the important agreements reached by the leaders of the two countries and continue to deepen strategic cooperation, resolutely oppose any forms of separatist activity by supporters of ‘Taiwan independence’ and external interference, and firmly defend the post-war international order and international justice,” concluded the Chinese Ambassador to the Russian Federation.
