    BEIJING, June 11 (Xinhua) — State Council Taiwan Affairs Office spokesperson Zhu Fenglian on Wednesday called on the United States to handle the Taiwan issue with the utmost caution.

    Speaking at a press conference, Zhu Fenglian once again reiterated that the Taiwan issue remains the most crucial of all issues affecting China’s core interests and is a red line that must never be crossed in Sino-US relations.

    She demanded that the US side strictly adhere to the one-China principle, abide by the provisions of the three Sino-US joint communiques, stop sending a false signal to the “Taiwan independence” forces, and prevent the very small number of “Taiwan independence” supporters from undermining the overall trend of Sino-US relations.

    Zhu Fenglian also criticized the Democratic Progressive Party administration in Taiwan and separatist forces for adhering to the “Taiwan independence” stance and colluding with external forces in provocative attempts to achieve “independence.”

    “These are the root causes of tension and instability in the Taiwan Strait region,” she said. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: How can NSU students avoid being scammed?

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    What fraudulent schemes are used against NSU students?

    1) Calls from fake “government” agencies with a stern warning or request to reissue documents, receive a parcel, or “save State Services from hacking.”

    How to resist: do not answer calls from unknown numbers or calls in messengers with avatars that imitate the logos of government agencies. Remember that a government agency will NEVER call you on your personal number and ask you to hurry up with documents.

    If you can log into your personal account on the State Services portal, then it is NOT hacked. And if a document change is really required, the notification will come in electronic and official format.

    2) Fraud with dormitory rooms for locals and out-of-towners: scammers ask for an advance payment for a “dead soul,” for a family room, or to “definitely reserve a place in a new dormitory.”

    How to resist: remember that dormitory places can only be obtained OFFICIALLY. The NSU Student Dormitory Administration never charges money for registering a student in a dormitory and, moreover, does not ask for any prepayments for “room reservations”.

    — I would like to remind students and their parents that Novosibirsk State University has a set of internal regulations that are strictly observed. We accommodate out-of-town students in 100% of cases according to the standard check-in procedure, the same applies to married couples — separate family blocks are provided for them in the student campus. Payment for rent and utilities is made only according to the official agreement that the student concluded during check-in.

    Booking rooms in advance and for large sums of money is illegal! No one provides such services either on behalf of the NSU Student Dormitory Administration or on behalf of the university. Moreover, we check the lists of students living in the dormitories every week to prevent violations of the internal regulations.

    On my own behalf, I will say that for me the main identifier of fraud is any correspondence, call or other pressure in a messenger, because no official structure conducts correspondence in online services via the Internet. Any call made by phone should also be assessed critically, because technologies using artificial intelligence are now capable of much, – commented the head of the NSU Student Dormitory Department Sergey Aleksandrovich Gusev.

    Remember the basic safety rules:

    — If they call “from the accounting department” or the dean’s office, it’s better to approach them in person and find out what is really required of you.

    — NEVER give your personal information to strangers: passport, SNILS (insurance certificate).

    — Don’t fall for tricks and don’t let scammers hack your personal account on the “Gosuslugi” portal — ONLY scammers ask for a code to log in or change your password.

    — Set a self-ban on loans in your personal account on “Gosuslugi”. It takes two minutes, and you have already blocked the scammers from taking out a microloan in your name if there is a leak of personal data.

    — NEVER manually transfer money to strangers on demand.

    — Fraudsters are excellent psychologists. Even if you think that you will not be able to say anything important, it is better to immediately stop the dialogue and write a statement to the police about malicious actions against you.

    Don’t rely only on yourself.

    During exam periods, the level of nervous tension increases tenfold, and scammers skillfully take advantage of your vulnerable state.

    Every NSU student can seek psychological help from the Psychological Support Department, as well as from volunteers from the pre-psychological help club “You are not alone”.

    According to the department, China’s total foreign trade turnover with African countries increased from less than 100 billion yuan (about 13.9 billion US dollars) in 2000 to 2.1 trillion yuan in 2024, an average annual growth rate of 14.2 percent.

    The data was released ahead of the 4th China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo, which will be held from June 12 to 15 in Changsha, capital of central China’s Hunan Province.

    On Wednesday, the GTU also released the China-Africa trade index for 2024, which hit a record high of 1,056.53 points, up from a baseline of 100 points in 2000 when the index was first released.

    LANZHOU, June 11 (Xinhua) — An infrared camera at the Giant Panda National Park in northwest China’s Gansu Province has captured rare footage of two wild giant pandas.

    The footage shows a female panda with a protruding mouth and round cheeks marking her territory and leaving her scent in front of the camera on February 23. A male panda with yellow spots on his shoulders later picked up her scent and soon found her. The pair then engaged in mating games in the snow.

    Wild giant pandas typically go into heat from March to May. “The fact that these wild pandas were mating in February fills a gap in our understanding of the breeding season of wild giant pandas,” said Yin Feng, head of the Liujiaping Guard Station of the Baishuijiang Division Administration of the park.

    This shows that the wild giant panda population in the Baishuijiang site is stable and healthy, he added.

    The Baishuijiang Section of the Giant Panda National Park, located in southern Gansu Province, serves as a sanctuary for wild giant pandas and coexisting species. According to the fourth national giant panda census released in 2015, there were 132 wild giant pandas in Gansu Province, 110 of which were in the Baishuijiang Section. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Civic Identity Helps Russians Maintain Mental Health Under Sanctions

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: State University Higher School of Economics – State University Higher School of Economics –

    Researchers from the National Research University Higher School of Economics have found that being aware of oneself as part of a country can be psychologically helpful during difficult times, especially if a person is inclined to rethink what is happening or turn to spiritual and cultural values. Rethinking, among other things, can somewhat reduce the level of depression.Studypublished in the Journal of Community Psychology.

    Crisis situations – economic, social or personal – inevitably affect the psyche. But why do some people adapt and cope with pressure more easily, while others lose their footing? To answer this question, HSE researchers conducted a sociological study. They found out whether respondents rethink what is happening, whether they turn to religion, rely on help from family, neighbors or social services, or simply wait until everything passes. The survey involved 384 people aged 18 to 54 from different regions of Russia.

    It turned out that people who feel more part of society cope better with psychological difficulties on average. They more often use strategies that help them adapt to change — primarily rethinking (the ability to find meaning in what is happening) and spiritual support (turning to religion, traditions, personal values).

    Interestingly, civic identity did not directly reduce depression, but it did help cope. People who perceived difficulties as a challenge and tried to rethink what was happening felt more resilient. But passively waiting for improvements, on the contrary, increased symptoms of depression. At the same time, people who felt a strong connection to their country were much less likely to choose a passive strategy.

    The study also found that in the Russian context, not only personal but also family support is important. Many people find that joint actions help – discussions with loved ones, mutual assistance, joint planning. This supports the idea that Russian culture places great importance on collective care, and that family becomes a support in difficult times.

    “Psychological resources are not only internal stability, but also a sense of connection with others, belonging to a community. Civic identity is one of these resources. In conditions of instability and threats, it helps maintain support and includes familiar coping strategies: rethinking the situation and turning to spiritual values. These observations can be useful for specialists who support people in periods of uncertainty and change,” says the director. Center for Sociocultural ResearchHSE University Alexander Tatarko.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Finding a voice: the bells of the Church of the Ascension of the Lord were consecrated in Belskoye Ustye

    On June 10, an important event took place in the village of Belskoye Ustye in the Porkhov district. New bells were consecrated in the Church of the Ascension of the Lord. The first rector of the Polytechnic University, Prince Gagarin, is buried near the church, and his estate Kholomki is located nearby.

    The Polytechnic University plays a special role in the revival of the Church of the Ascension of the Lord. It not only provides financial support, but also directly participates in the restoration work. A special event is the installation of new bells, which will give the church a finished look and allow the bell ringing to sound again. They were cast by order of the ANO “Revival of Cultural Heritage Sites of Pskov and the Pskov Region”.

    The rite of consecration of the bells was performed by Metropolitan of Pskov and Porkhov, Abbot of the Holy Dormition Pskov-Pechersky Monastery Matfey (Kopylov), assisted by clergy of the Pskov diocese. The ceremony was also attended by Bishop of Nizhny Tagil and Nevyansk Feodosiy (Chashchin) and Bishop of Karasuk and Ordynsk Philip (Novikov).

    Not long ago we met with Andrey Ivanovich. Seeing his glowing eyes when the speech touched upon the revival of this ancient shrine, I believed at that moment that the temple would be restored and put into operation at all costs. Today we have gathered here to rejoice at the completion of another stage of restoration – the consecration of the bells. I would like to thank the staff of the Polytechnic University for their contribution to this important matter, – shared Metropolitan of Pskov and Porkhov, Abbot of the Holy Dormition Pskov-Pechersky Monastery Matfey (Kopylov).

    The Metropolitan noted that the church will find its own voice, which will be heard by people and will become a guide for them on the path to God.

    The temple, which was once one of the largest in the Pskov region, needs a full restoration, which has been actively carried out in recent years. Polytechnic is taking part in the restoration of the temple, so employees and graduates support the reconstruction both organizationally and financially. Ten bells were cast in Zhukovsky (Moscow region) with funds allocated by PJSC Rostelecom, for which special thanks to Polytechnic graduate Mikhail Eduardovich Oseevsky, – emphasized the rector of SPbPU Andrey Rudskoy.

    The history of the Church of the Ascension of the Lord spans over two centuries. It was built in 1796 by Colonel Artemon Kozhin on his estate. Decades later, in the early 1860s, his son Pyotr Kozhin decided to build a new church due to the dilapidation of the old building. The new building in the style of early classicism with elements of baroque was built according to the design of the St. Petersburg architect Shestakov.

    Over its long history, the temple has witnessed many significant events. In 1920, the funeral service for Prince A. G. Gagarin, an outstanding Russian scientist and engineer, the first director of the Polytechnic, was held here. In 1921–1922, the temple became a magnet for artists, including K. I. Chukovsky, E. I. Zamyatin, M. L. Lozinsky and others.

    Unfortunately, in the 1960s the church was closed due to its emergency condition. Only in 2014 did large-scale work begin to restore the temple by an initiative group, which included representatives of SPbPU, the administration of the Pskov region and the “Orthodox Russia” movement. In 2023, the ANO “Revival of Cultural Heritage Sites of Pskov and the Pskov Region” began working with the architectural monument.

    Today, restoration work on the restoration of this unique architectural monument continues, returning it to its former glory and grandeur.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Polytechnic presented its initiatives to the rectors of BRICS countries at forums in Brazil

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Rio de Janeiro hosted large-scale events — the second forum of university rectors from Russia, Brazil and Belarus, as well as the second forum of university rectors from the BRICS countries. The events were organized by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro with the support of national rectors’ communities, including the Russian Union of Rectors. They became a powerful platform for strengthening academic ties and promoting joint initiatives. The forums were attended by more than 50 representatives of universities from Russia and Belarus, delegations from Iran, India, China, South Africa, Ethiopia, Indonesia and more than 60 universities from Brazil.

    At the section on educational cooperation, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Konstantin Mogilevsky emphasized the unique role of BRICS in the modern world: In the conditions of international turbulence, it is education and science that are becoming the most important tools for finding joint answers to global challenges. The BRICS association is one of the few international platforms where interaction is built on the principles of mutual respect and equality, where there are no main ones, where everyone is equal and is committed to working together for the sake of a common future. We see that this approach is of interest and response to many countries. The creation of a ranking of BRICS universities is especially relevant in the conditions of political commitment of the headquarters of international rating agencies. The new system for assessing the quality of education is in great demand.

    The Deputy Minister spoke in detail about the dynamic expansion of the association (the accession of new members: Egypt, Iran, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Indonesia) and the priorities of the educational agenda. This is the development of the BRICS Network University, recognition of qualifications, support for talented youth and the creation of its own BRICS university ranking.

    The key sections and plenary session were held at the Museum of Tomorrow. SPbPU was represented by a delegation consisting of Vladimir Shchepinin, Director of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade; Ekaterina Belyaevskaya, Head of the Department of International Interuniversity Cooperation; and Nikita Lukashevich and Olga Ergunova, associate professors at the Graduate School of Management and Management. Vladimir Shchepinin spoke at one of the sessions, presenting the Polytechnic University as a key player in the scientific and educational space of Russia in the field of technological development. He drew the attention of the rectors’ community to the potential of SPbPU in solving the problems of sustainable development of the BRICS countries.

    At the thematic session “Artificial Intelligence and Education in the BRICS Countries”, Olga Ergunova presented a report “AI Optimization of Human Resource Management in Smart Cities”, based on the results of a large-scale scientific project supported by the Russian Science Foundation (grant No. 25-28-01469). She described in detail the neural network model developed under the auspices of the RSF for forecasting and managing labor markets in the BRICS megacities (Shanghai, Bangalore, Moscow, Sao Paulo).

    Olga Ergunova drew the attention of those gathered to a successful example of comprehensive cooperation between the BRICS countries — the international competition for young researchers “SMART CITY 2030: Sustainable Development Management of BRICS Cities”. The event was first held in 2024 in pilot mode and generated considerable interest. In 2025, the co-organizers of the competition are SPbPU, the Russian Institute of Tsinghua University (China), Lovely Professional University (India) and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). The Rectors’ Forum provided an opportunity to announce the expansion of the competition and invite new representatives of the BRICS countries to participate.

    The SPbPU delegation held talks with existing partner universities in Brazil (these are nine leading universities in the country), and also met with new promising educational institutions and agencies. Among them are the Federal Agency for Technological Education, the Secretariat for Supervision and Development in Higher Education. Both agencies operate under the Ministry of Education of Brazil.

    Polytechnic University signed cooperation agreements with the Federal University of Fluminense and the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro.

    During working meetings and negotiations with rectors and representatives of university delegations, projects in the field of joint research, academic mobility, joint educational programs of double degrees and the organization of summer schools were discussed.

    In the context of changing global educational landscapes, Brazilian universities are becoming key centers for ensuring the scientific and technological sovereignty of the BRICS countries. Their competencies in the field of sustainable development, green economy, bioeconomy, agribusiness, artificial intelligence and other areas, supplemented by Russian fundamental science, form a unique ecosystem of cooperation, its integration into the BRICS educational space through the mechanisms of the BRICS Network University. They allow the creation of new formats of cooperation that combine academic mobility with applied research in areas that are strategic for the countries, noted Vladimir Shchepinin.

    A pleasant surprise was the delegation’s meeting with a 1988 Polytechnic graduate, Electo Eduardo Silva Lora. He is currently a professor and holds the post of head of the Scientific Institute at the Federal University of Itajuba, a leading university in the field of electric power and electrical engineering. Electo Silva Lora spoke excellent Russian and recalled his teachers, professors at the Polytechnic University, with great warmth. He expressed a desire to renew scientific and academic ties with his alma mater and is already interacting with colleagues from the Institute of Power Engineering.

    In addition, Olga Ergunova visited the leading business school of Latin America — FGV EBAPE (Getulio Vargas Foundation), holder of the prestigious “Triple Crown” of accreditations (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS). She held business negotiations with the director-dean of the school, Professor Flavio Carvalho de Vasconcelos and the head of the international department of Yuna Fontoura.

    Representatives of the school expressed interest in cooperation with SPbPU. During the negotiations, specific steps were outlined: organizing academic exchanges, joint research in the field of innovation management, technological development and sustainable production.

    For FGV EBAPE, it is always valuable to establish connections with leading universities in the world, such as SPbPU. We are interested in developing academic mobility and joint research initiatives, especially in areas related to technology and innovation, – emphasized Flavio Vasconcelos.

    Universities in Brazil represent a huge potential for partnership. Of course, everyone understands the difficulties and cost of logistics between our continents, but even this does not become an obstacle for such innovative projects as, for example, the Smart Cities competition. A number of government agencies support the mobility of Brazilian students, and these opportunities should be used. Brazil has created the strongest scientific centers and technology hubs in the field of research into renewable energy, artificial intelligence, agricultural and food technologies, oil and gas. Colleagues are interested in joint publications, the development of postgraduate programs, international grants for joint research. There is a lot of work to do to turn today’s agreements into real projects with the participation of the Polytechnic University, – Ekaterina Belyaevskaya summed up.

All these and many other questions will be discussed in class after a popular science lecture on the topic.

    Daria Khadjaridi – “Black Bear School” project

    “Black Bear School” is a five-day intensive course in sports management. Over the course of five days, experts will talk about lectures on SMM, photography, video, event organization, and working with partners. The intensive course will be useful for anyone who wants to learn something new in the field of sports media – whether you are a beginner or a pro, because the intensive course is divided into categories by level of training.

    The grant competition has been held since 2005 and is aimed at supporting projects of young people and student associations. The competition provides financial support in the amount of 5 thousand to 1 million rubles for the implementation of socially significant projects.

    ULAN BATOR, June 11 (Xinhua) — An event to mark the International Day of Dialogue Among Civilizations was held at the China Cultural Center in Ulan Bator on Tuesday.

    It also included a competition for the best Chinese songs among Mongolian youth.

    The event aims to build a bridge of good-neighborliness and friendship between China and Mongolia through music, and promote cultural and educational exchanges and cooperation between the two countries. It is part of a series of events to mark the International Day of Dialogue Among Civilizations.

    The competition featured 15 solo performers from Mongolia. The participants demonstrated their level of proficiency and talent in learning Chinese.

    The winners were Erdenetsogiin Mendbayar and Wu Ningjing, who performed a medley of classic Chinese TV series and films, “My Fair Princess” and “Breaking Dawn.”

    “When the participants sang Chinese songs in Chinese, every word was a fusion of cultures and every melody was a seed of friendship,” said Li Zhi, a counselor at the Chinese Embassy in Mongolia and director of the Chinese Cultural Center in Ulaanbaatar.

    In his speech, he emphasized that China and Mongolia use music as a medium and singing as a bridge, which is a vivid practice of the global civilization initiative: using art to convey shared values, using melody to promote exchanges between people, and using innovation to promote the heritage of civilization. “This competition is not only a stage for participants to showcase their talents, but also a window for mutual learning between civilizations,” he added.

    In 2024, the 78th session of the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution drafted by China to establish June 10 as the annual International Day of Dialogue among Civilizations.
