Chinese Minister of Industry and Information Technology Li Lecheng stated that Chinese models are reaching global standards. Over the past year, the number of downloads of Chinese open-source models has reached the top spot globally. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools are being integrated into production: by the end of 2025, the penetration rate of AI technologies in industrial enterprises of a certain scale will exceed 30%. Smart terminals are being integrated into everyday life: domestic companies have released over 300 models of humanoid robots.

At the Spring Festival gala, humanoid robots demonstrating their skills became the main topic of online discussion. The robots' rapid progress is truly awe-inspiring. They demonstrate not only martial arts and talent, but also "Chinese kung fu," marking the transition of Chinese artificial intelligence from scientific and technological breakthroughs to practical applications. This is a vivid demonstration of how new productive forces are entering society. Artificial intelligence, this "key variable," is becoming a "powerful growth engine" for high-quality economic development.

Li Lecheng noted that the AI industry must coordinate development and safety, adhering to the principle that AI is designed for human use, to serve humankind, and under human control. We must adhere to international cooperation and openness in the field of AI, and work with colleagues from other countries to discuss and reach a broader consensus on AI governance structures and rules, so that artificial intelligence can better serve humanity and become a global public good.

"I look forward to the development of the 15th Five-Year Plan," said Li Jiachao, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, in an exclusive interview with Zhongxin News Agency in Beijing, where he is attending the 2026 sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). He believes the 15th Five-Year Plan is both a guideline, an opportunity, and a platform for proactive action for Hong Kong.

"Our country is the world's second-largest economy. The opportunities opening up for Hong Kong are limitless," said Li Jiachao, outlining the rationale for aligning Hong Kong's development strategy with the national strategy: leveraging its strengths to meet the country's needs and achieving greater development through its contribution to the common good.

He pointed out that strengthening and enhancing the status of an international center for finance, shipping, and trade, creating an international center for innovation and technology, and establishing a center for attracting international highly qualified personnel are not only proposals within the 15th Five-Year Plan, but also areas in which Hong Kong has advantages.

Li Jiachao particularly emphasized the role of scientific and technological innovation as a driving force. He believed that Hong Kong's uniqueness lies in its ability to "combine international and national advantages in one place."

To transform opportunities into actionable steps, Li Jiachao announced that all 15 departments of the Hong Kong government have established preparatory groups to study and develop Hong Kong's first Five-Year Plan. "As soon as the details of the country's 15th Five-Year Plan are released, we will immediately begin researching and developing Hong Kong's Five-Year Plan." He noted that this Five-Year Plan will be widely discussed in society and will focus on three main goals: economic development, improving people's well-being, and enhancing competitiveness.

Li Jiachao believes the purpose of the Five-Year Plan is to allow Hong Kong residents to see what Hong Kong will be like in five years. He expressed hope that each subsequent Five-Year Plan will include clear milestones.

Washington, March 9 (Xinhua) — US President Donald Trump said on Monday that US and Israeli strikes on Iran will end "very soon."

When asked at a press conference in Florida whether he expected the military operation to end this week, he said "no," but added "very soon."

D. Trump issued a contradictory statement, saying that US goals had been largely achieved and echoing an earlier warning from US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the battle was just beginning.

“I think you could say both,” Trump replied. “This is the beginning of building a new country.”

The American president declared that Iran now has "no navy, no air force, no air defense. All of that has been destroyed." –0–

March 9, 2026 Human rights

UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights Nada Al-Nashif warned of a rapid increase in child rights violations in conflict zones and called on states to take urgent action to protect and rehabilitate victims.

Al-Nashif addressed the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. She said the harm war inflicts on children—physical, mental, social, and developmental—is exacerbated by grave violations of international humanitarian law. Parties to armed conflicts are increasingly using explosive weapons in densely populated areas, forcibly recruiting children, and resorting to sexual violence as a tactic of war.

The UN has recorded a sharp increase in cases of sexual violence against children: between 2021 and 2024, the number of such incidents nearly doubled. In Sudan alone, at least 223 child victims were documented in 2025. However, according to Al-Nashif, the actual figures are significantly higher.

The UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights emphasized that child survivors of violence have the right to support and justice. Some states have already adopted laws aimed at providing assistance to victims or created reintegration programs for children previously held for their association with armed groups. Since 2000, thanks to UN efforts, more than 210,000 children and adolescents have been released from armies and armed groups.

Al-Nashif found that crimes against children committed during armed conflicts are rarely investigated, and long-term psychosocial support and reintegration programmes remain chronically underfunded.

In her speech, Al-Nashif outlined four key areas of action: conducting independent investigations into all violations; recognizing children associated with armed groups as victims and ending their arbitrary detention; allocating resources for long-term rehabilitation, education, and medical care; and engaging children in justice processes.

"Children aren't just victims. They should have a voice in shaping their own lives," she emphasized.

Concluding her speech, Al-Nashif declared that war is "the ultimate violation of children's rights": "We are abandoning children to their fate instead of helping them. We need to change this."

Beijing, March 9 (Xinhua) — The sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of all countries must be respected, and any attacks on civilians and non-military targets must be condemned, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Monday.

Wang Yi, who is also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the statement during a telephone conversation with Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdel Latif bin Rashed al-Zayani.

Abdel Latif bin Rashed Al Zayani added that Bahrain will continue to take decisive measures to ensure the safety of Chinese employees and institutions in the kingdom.

Wang Yi, for his part, noted that the situation in the Persian Gulf region is rapidly deteriorating, which is also affecting Bahrain's security. According to the Chinese Foreign Minister, this is a source of deep concern for China.

As he pointed out, China has always maintained a consistent and clear position: the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of all countries must be respected, and any attacks on civilians and non-military targets must be condemned.

Wang Yi stressed that the highest priority now is to immediately end military action to prevent further spread of the conflict.

According to the Chinese diplomat, the path out of the current situation lies in the immediate resumption of dialogue and negotiations to make efforts to restore peace. He added that the long-term solution lies in the joint adherence of all parties to international law and the basic norms of international relations.

China, as a strategic partner of the Gulf states and a responsible major country, has been continuously and actively promoting reconciliation and ending wars, Wang Yi pointed out.

He noted that the Chinese government's special envoy for the Middle East is currently on a shuttle diplomacy mission to the region and will visit Bahrain. The Chinese Foreign Minister assured that China will continue to play a constructive role in ensuring peace and stability in the Persian Gulf region.

Wang Yi also expressed hope that the Bahraini side will continue to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens and institutions in Bahrain. –0–
