      BEIJING, July 11 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping has called on people working in the country’s film industry to create more fine cinematic works that reflect the spirit of the times and express the people’s aspirations.

      Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks in a recent reply letter to eight veteran Chinese film artists, including 97-year-old famed actress Tian Hua.

      In his reply, Xi said that reading the letter from the artists reminded him of the classic films they had participated, which are widely known and cherished by the public.

      Xi expressed the hope that the artists would continue to set an example in upholding virtue and pursuing artistic excellence.

      He encouraged them to inspire the broader film community to strengthen cultural confidence, stay rooted in real life, and make new contributions to the prosperity of arts and the building of a culturally strong nation.

  • MIL-Evening Report: NFIP activists, advocates to open nuclear-free Pacific exhibition

    Asia Pacific Report

    Nuclear-free and independent Pacific advocates are treating Aucklanders to a lively week-long exhibition dedicated to the struggle for nuclear justice in the region.

    It will be opened today by the opposition Labour Party’s spokesperson on disarmament and MP for Te Atatu, Phil Twyford, and will include a range of speakers on Aotearoa New Zealand’s record as a champion of a nuclear-free Pacific and an independent foreign policy.

    Speaking at a conference last month, Twyford said the country could act as a force for peace and demilitarisation, working with partners across the Pacific and Asia and basing its defence capabilities on a realistic assessment of threats.

    The biggest threat to the security of New Zealanders was not China’s rise as a great power but the possibility of war in Asia, Twyford said.

    Although there have been previous displays about the New Zealand nuclear-free narrative, this one has a strong focus on the Pacific.

    it is called the “Legends of the Pacific: Stories of a Nuclear-free Moana 1975-1995” and will run from tomorrow, July 13 until Friday, July 18.

    Veteran nuclear-free Pacific spokespeople who are expected to speak at the conference include Reverend Mua Strickson-Pua; Bharat Jamnadas, an organiser of the original Nuclear-Free and Independent Pacific (NFIP) conference in Suva, Fiji, in 1975; businessman and community advocate Nikhil Naidu, previously an activist for the Fiji Anti-Nuclear Group (FANG) and Dr Heather Devere, peace researcher and chair of the Asia Pacific Media Network (APMN).

    A group of Cook Islands young dancers will also take part.

    Knowledge to children
    One of the organisers, Nik Naidu, told Asia Pacific Report, it was vital to restore the enthusiasm and passion around the NFIP movement as in the 1980s.

    “It’s so important to pass on our knowledge to our children and future generations,” he said.

    “And to tell the stories of our on-going journey and yearning for true independence in a world free of wars and weapons of mass destruction. This is what a Nuclear-Free and Independent Pacific is.”

    The exhibition is is coordinated by the APMN in partnership with the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga, with curator Tharron Bloomfield and coordinator Antony Phillips; Ellen Melville Centre; and the Whānau Communty Centre and Hub.

    It is also supported by Pax Christi, Quaker Peace and Service Fund, and Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF).

    It recalls New Zealand’s peace squadrons, a display of activist tee-shirt “flags”, nuclear-free buttons and badges, posters, and other memorabilia.

    Timely exhibition
    Author Dr David Robie, deputy chair of the APMN, who wrote the book Eyes of Fire: The Last Voyage and Legacy of the Rainbow Warrior just published on Thursday, and dedicated to the NFIP movement, said the the exhibition was timely.

    “It is a sort of back to the future situation where the world is waking up again to a nuclear spectre not really seen since the Cold War years,” he said.

    “With the horrendous Israeli genocide on Gaza — it is obscene to call it a war, when it is continuous massacres of civilians; the attacks by two nuclear nations on a nuclear weapons-free country, as is the case with Iran; and threats against another nuclear state, China, are all extremely concerning developments.”

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: US smears on HK condemned

    Source: Hong Kong Information Services

    The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government today strongly condemned the US Government for wantonly smearing the work of Hong Kong in preventing, suppressing and imposing punishment for activities endangering national security in accordance with the law under the pretext of extending the so-called “national emergency”.

    In a statement, the Hong Kong SAR Government said the US has blatantly and repeatedly breached international law and the basic norms underpinning international relations, and vainly interfered with the internal affairs of the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong matters by extending again the so-called “national emergency with respect to Hong Kong”.

    Such an act is arbitrary and unreasonable, the statement said, noting that the US has time and again made skewed remarks about Hong Kong’s situation and imposed the so-called “sanctions” on Hong Kong, attempting to interfere with its law-based governance and undermine the city’s rule of law as well as its prosperity and stability.

    “Endangering national security is a very serious offence. No country will watch with folded arms on acts and activities that endanger national security.

    “With at least 21 pieces of laws safeguarding national security in the US, the US exposed their double standards as they pointed fingers at Hong Kong’s legal system and enforcement mechanisms to safeguard national security, while totally disregarding the constitutional duty and practical needs of the city to legislate, and the positive effects brought by the enactment of the national security legislation on economic development and the protection of human rights.”

    In over five years of the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law (HKNSL), the law enforcement agencies of Hong Kong have been taking law enforcement actions based on evidence and strictly in accordance with the law in respect of the acts of the persons or entities concerned, which has nothing to do with their political stance, background or occupation.

    The Department of Justice is in charge of criminal prosecutions under Article 63 of the Basic Law, with all its prosecutorial decisions made on an objective analysis of all admissible evidence and applicable laws.

    Everyone charged with a criminal offence will receive fair trial strictly in accordance with laws applicable to Hong Kong, including the HKNSL and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (SNSO) and as protected by the Basic Law and the Hong Kong Bill of Rights.

    Since Hong Kong’s return to the motherland, human rights in the city have been robustly guaranteed constitutionally by both the Constitution and the Basic Law. The legal framework in safeguarding national security in the Hong Kong SAR is in line with relevant international human rights standards, the statement stressed.

    The HKNSL and the SNSO clearly stipulate that human rights shall be respected and protected in safeguarding national security. The rights and freedoms enjoyed by the residents under the Basic Law and the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil & Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social & Cultural Rights as applied to Hong Kong are protected in accordance with the law, it added.

    The Hong Kong SAR Government reiterated that it will resolutely, fully and faithfully implement the HKNSL, the SNSO and relevant laws safeguarding national security in Hong Kong, to effectively prevent, suppress and impose punishment for acts and activities endangering national security in accordance with the law, whilst upholding the people’s rights and freedoms in accordance with the law, to ensure the steadfast and successful implementation of the “one country, two systems” principle.

    It strongly demanded the US to immediately stop acting against the international law and basic norms of international relations and interfering in Hong Kong matters which are purely China’s internal affairs.

  • Industry must be a force for inclusion by promoting gender and caste diversity in leadership-VP

    Government’s role is only of an enabler, it is industry that drives innovation, creates livelihoods-VP

    The Vice-President, Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar today said that, “ Industry, friends, must be a force for inclusion by supporting MSMEs, promoting gender and caste diversity in leadership. It’s easier said than done. Gender and caste diversity has to be appreciated in the right sense. When it comes to gender, we champion affirmative action but the real problem is when gender discrimination is subtle. When gender discrimination cannot be imparted in words by the normal desire to dominate.”

    Speaking as Chief Guest at the 19th Edition of the CII-ITC Sustainability Awards at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi today, Shri Dhnakhar underlined, “The private sector must embrace its role not just as an economic actor but as a co-architect of India’s future……. We are not mercenaries, we don’t stand for exploitation. We believe in the positive unleashing of our energy to realise our dreams for the benefit of society at large.  A truly developed nation is one where opportunity is not the privilege of the few but the right of all.”

     

    https://twitter.com/VPIndia/status/1943294295043379250

     

    Underlining the sustainable development credentials of Bharat, Shri Dhnakhar said, “Bharat is home to one-sixth of humanity. We are the world’s largest economy at number four and we are the torchbearers of a development paradigm that seeks to harmonize  the economy, the ecological and the ethical…..the global 2030 agenda for sustainable development cannot succeed on the planet without India’s participation, without India’s contribution, without India’s proactive affirmative stance and fortunately, with the vision of its leadership,  India has embraced this responsibility both with clarity and conviction……In this country, we seek prosperity with purpose, growth with inclusion,  innovation with integrity……Let Indian industry become the torchbearer of this green revolution. Let us invest in renewable energy, green hydrogen, circular economy models, and carbon markets. Let us not treat sustainability as a compliance, but as a source of competitive advantage. The moment we take it in the compliance groove; the battle is lost.”

     

     

    https://twitter.com/VPIndia/status/1943294318409863232

     

     

     

    Exhorting the industry leaders present there, he stated, “ Indian industry must now expand its global presence — not just in markets, but in ideas, standards, and solutions. Let us build “Brand India” on four pillars — quality, trust, innovation, and ancient wisdom reimagined for modern relevance…..Let us go for Greenfield projects. Increasing the health sector, increasing the education sector, increasing facilities around metros is fine, but it does not lead to equitable balance and equitable balance is fundamental to cut into inequitable conduct. Therefore….if CSR funds of corporates are dealt with by corporates and conglomerates, then the areas that have been left out so far will get world-class institutions in health, education, and the like.”

     

    https://twitter.com/VPIndia/status/1943287925640433673

     

    “There was a time when the health and education sectors were means to give back to the society by businesses. Now there is a trend that health and education are turning out to be lucrative businesses.  Commercialization and commodification of these vital segments that are essentially passages only to serve the society at large, to give back to the society, is an aspect on which the corporate India will have to reflect, devise a mechanism. Therefore, I urge the CII must lead by example by fostering a business culture that prioritizes equity, transparency and long-term value creation”, he added.

     

    Highlighting the role of the private sector in taking the nation forward, Shri Dhankhar emphasized, “ Government’s role is only of an enabler. Heavy obligations are on the corporate world …. The government alone cannot,  if I may say so, score the penalty goal. Government by itself cannot take  those corners  and corner kicks  that result in goals. The private sector has a vital role to play because  at the end of the day it is industry that drives innovation, creates livelihoods and builds the architecture of national development…….When I look at corporate India from a global perspective, I find it is an unparalleled reservoir of talent and exemplifies commitment and giving back to society. It has huge potential. Its synergetic exploitation with the government and government actors can lead to a quantum leap and geometric outcomes.”

     

    “The Government of India has moved beyond a government-centric approach to a whole-of-society framework. Sub-national and local governments, civil society,  private sector players and communities, all are vital cogs in this engine of progress. But friends,  this engine has to fire on all cylinders  if we have to achieve tangible success”, he further added.

     

    Referring to the Indian economy’s potential, he stated, “ India is not merely aspiring to become a five trillion-dollar economy…..India is on the right path of becoming a trusted economy, a reliable partner in the global value chain, a stable anchor in a volatile world. The world at the moment is in turmoil and turbulence. Global configurations show no signs of abating. Supply chain disruption is taking place. In this disturbed scenario, Bharat is a prominent voice.”

     

    https://twitter.com/VPIndia/status/1943295896957173809

     

    Encouraging the industry to focus on research and development, Shri Dhankhar stated, “Industry must take the lead in research and development, invest in indigenous design. I would reflect for a moment on this, this is an area where there needs to be more attention, greater convergence of corporate world…research can’t be for the self,  research can’t be for the shelf. Research cannot be just assimilation or surface scratching. Research has to correlate to making change on the ground”.

     

    Drawing attention to the skill requirements of youth, he stated, “ Nearly two thirds of our population is below the age of 35. Demographic youth dividend. The median age being 28, we are 10 years younger than China and USA……duty of the corporates in particular is that, this[demographic dividend] our biggest asset has to be channelized in the right direction  and therefore focus on youth and skilling is fundamental. The government is doing its bit by a number of innovative steps but major part has to be done for effective transformation by the industry. It is our  biggest asset. but an asset is biggest only if we harness it with vision and urgency. I urge industry to work very closely with academia, training institutes,  and the government to design future-ready curricula.”

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, while chairing a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) discussed the role of Americans serving their country through government and the threat of foreign adversaries.  Ricketts highlighted the Committee’s record pace in advancing 43 of President Trump’s nominees to the Senate floor.

    “It’s vital for our foreign policy that we have confirmed ambassadors in positions of importance,” said Ricketts.  “This is something I’ve heard consistently as I visit with partners and allies around the world…  Disappointingly, though, many of these nominees aren’t yet confirmed.  This hurts our ability to advance our interests at a time when we are competing for influence with adversaries like Communist China.  We cannot afford to let partisanship get in the way of what’s best for our country.”

    Ricketts spoke on the role of agriculture in American domestic and foreign policy.

    “Nebraska is the nation’s fifth largest agricultural exporter, with nearly $8 billion in ag exports last year, the third highest total on record,” said Ricketts.  “Simply put, when Nebraska agriculture thrives, so does my state.  Nebraska’s impact just isn’t domestic, though it’s global.  In western Nebraska, cooperatives package and ship dry edible beans used in the World Food Program humanitarian operations, delivering American grown products to save lives in some of the world’s hardest hit regions.”

    Ricketts also discussed the vital importance of partnerships in the Indo-Pacific.

    “Singapore is one of our more vital partners in the Indo-Pacific,” said Ricketts.  “On the security front, it supports rotational US military deployments that enable our patrols throughout the region and hosts thousands of American sailors, airman, and their families.  Singapore is a significant buyer and user of US defense technologies.  It’s also a hub for maritime trade and financial services, a gateway for over 6,000 American businesses operating in Asia, and a leader in emerging technologies.  Oftentimes, an American company’s first step into the Indo-Pacific is in Singapore.  I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Singapore’s Prime Minister Wong, Foreign Minister Balakrishnan, and Defense Minister Chan at the Shangri-La dialogue, and I can confirm Singapore’s desire to not only maintain our strong partnership, but to build upon it.”

    Ding, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said in a keynote speech that in the face of opportunities and challenges brought by digitalization, efforts should be made to accelerate the implementation of the important consensus reached by the SCO Heads of State Council and the Global Digital Compact.

    Ding suggested promoting digital economy cooperation, strengthening policy communication and the alignment of development plans, and making full use of cooperation platforms such as the SCO Digital Economy Forum to inject vitality and momentum into the development of the digital economy.

    HANGZHOU, July 11 — Over 1,000 guests and youth representatives from both sides of the Taiwan Strait gathered in Hangzhou, east China’s Zhejiang Province, on Friday for a forum aimed at fostering mutual understanding.

    Addressing the opening event of the eighth cross-Strait youth development forum, Pan Xianzhang, deputy chief of both the Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, warmly welcomed young people from Taiwan and pledged to take more effective measures to promote exchanges and integration across the Taiwan Strait.

    Pan called on youths on both sides of the Strait to firmly uphold the one-China principle and 1992 Consensus, oppose “Taiwan independence” separatism and external interference, and take an active part in cross-Strait exchanges and cooperation in all fields.

    Noting that this year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the restoration of Taiwan, former chairperson of the Chinese Kuomintang party Hung Hsiu-chu said that history has shown that division between the two sides of the Strait would only leave people to suffering and humiliation, and that the future of young people on both sides is closely tied to national rejuvenation.

    Hung expressed the expectation that youths from across the Strait will bring greater hope for peaceful reunification through their joint efforts of interactions and exchanges.

    The forum, running through July 15, features a cross-Strait baseball game alongside a series of workshops.

    Source: United States Senator for Delaware Christopher Coons

    WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senators Chris Coons (D-DE), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD),Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released a statement on announced plans by the State Department to terminate personnel.

    “As the U.S. retreats, our adversaries—like the People’s Republic of China—are expanding their diplomatic reach, making Americans less safe and less prosperous. If this administration is serious about putting ‘America first,’ it must invest in our diplomatic corps and national security experts—not erode the institutions that protect our interests, promote U.S. values and keep Americans abroad safe.?? 

    “The Administration’s decision to fire hundreds of members of the Civil Service and Foreign Service at the Department of State undermines our national security. While there are targeted reforms that our government can pursue to maximize the impact of every tax dollar, that’s not what this is. Blanket and indiscriminate cuts—the legacy from Elon Musk’s failed DOGE effort—weaken our government’s ability to deliver for the American people in a cost-effective manner. There are active conflicts and humanitarian crises in Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, Haiti and Myanmar—to name a few. Now is the time to strengthen our diplomatic hand, not weaken it. From pursuing peaceful resolutions to out-competing China diplomatically and economically, we can’t afford to not have experienced diplomats at the table. 

    “We will continue to fight on behalf of the public servants and their families who now face job loss after careers spent advancing America’s interests and values in challenging and often high-risk environments. We call on Secretary Rubio to ensure that any proposed reorganization, including reductions in force, is carried out transparently and in full accordance with U.S. law.”

    KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 (Xinhua) — China is willing to work with Malaysia to implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries on building a high-level strategic China-Malaysia community with a shared future, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said at a meeting with Malaysian Foreign Minister Mohamad Hassan here on Thursday.

    Wang Yi called on the two countries to fully implement the plans to jointly build the Belt and Road and strengthen cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, investment and connectivity. Key projects such as the Malaysian East Coast Railway and the “Two Countries, Twin Parks” should be steadily promoted, he said.

    The Foreign Minister also called for in-depth cooperation in new and advanced sectors to jointly establish a regional cooperation center in the field of new quality productive forces.

    The Minister stressed the need for further efforts in dialogue between Confucian and Islamic civilizations and the implementation of the soon-to-come agreement on mutual visa-free regime to intensify mutual travel and strengthen the social foundation of bilateral relations.

    China is willing to work with Malaysia to enhance political mutual trust, deepen integration of interests, strengthen strategic coordination and develop traditional friendship so as to implement the roadmap drawn up by the leaders of the two countries, Wang said.

    According to the minister, China and ASEAN are good neighbors, friends and partners. The two sides have fully concluded negotiations on the Free Trade Area 3.0, demonstrating through concrete actions their commitment to expanding the common market and protecting free trade.

    Wang Yi said the US’s imposition of high tariffs on ASEAN members is a typical act of bullying and unilateralism that no country supports. China’s decisive countermeasures are aimed at protecting not only its own interests but also the common interests of all countries, including ASEAN members, he stressed.

    China is willing to strengthen cooperation with ASEAN, uphold the multilateral trading system, ensure the stability of global industrial and supply chains, and promote inclusive economic globalization, the foreign minister said.

    In turn, M. Hasan said that relations between Malaysia and China are experiencing the best period in history. In the context of growing uncertainty in the world, it is time to strengthen cooperation between Malaysia and China, as well as within the ASEAN, he noted. Malaysia highly values the friendship between the two countries and firmly adheres to the one-China policy, the minister added.

    Malaysia supports the three global initiatives put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping and is willing to deepen practical cooperation with China in areas such as trade, investment, infrastructure, digital economy and green development, Hasan said.

    “In the current circumstances, we can clearly see who the real friends are. When faced with issues like tariffs, Malaysia will not only consider its own interests and will not sacrifice the interests of third parties, ASEAN does not do that,” he stressed. –0–

    BEIJING, July 11 (Xinhua) — Closed exclusivity is not an option for China and the country will continue to take practical measures to expand opening up at a high level, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Friday.

    In this way, the diplomat commented at a regular press briefing on media reports according to which China’s visa-free policy shows the world the country’s viability, which is the opposite of the recent tightening of visa requirements and the growing trend towards isolation in some countries.

    At present, China has unilaterally introduced a visa-free regime for citizens of 47 countries, and visa-free transit for citizens of another 55 countries, Mao Ning recalled, adding that China has consistently made efforts to simplify the visa application procedure, provide one-stop services to those entering the country, and provide those leaving the country with a tax refund immediately after making a purchase. Thus, trips of foreign friends to China have become more comfortable, the diplomat noted.

    “Decoupling and disrupting industrial and supply chains, as well as closed exclusivity, are not options for China,” Mao Ning said.

    “China will continue to take high-level measures to expand opening-up, share opportunities and create a common future with all countries,” she added. -0-

    BEIJING, July 11 — China has adjusted the evaluation metrics for state-owned insurance companies, as part of efforts to promote their sustainable operations, the Ministry of Finance said on Friday.

    This adjustment aims to enhance the roles of insurance capital in stabilizing markets and supporting economic growth, according to a circular from the ministry.

    The assessment of state-owned insurers’ return on equity will shift from a “current year and a three-year cycle” model to a multi-tiered system incorporating current-year, 3-year and 5-year cycle metrics, the circular said.

    Evaluation of the state capital maintenance and appreciation rate will adopt the same system — replacing the previous current-year-only measurement, it added.
