    Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko and General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam To Lam greeted the participants of the Russian-Vietnamese business forum. Also in their presence, the start of work was given to the plant for the production and processing of dairy products of the company “TH True Milk” in the Kaluga region.

    The event took place as part of To Lam’s official visit to Russia. Earlier, on May 10, negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Secretary General took place in the Kremlin.

    The forum featured speeches by representatives of VTB Bank, AFK Sistema, and the Cyberus Foundation for the Development of Effective Cybersecurity.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko thanked the Vietnamese delegation for participating in the festive events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. He quoted President Vladimir Putin as saying that relations between Russia and Vietnam continue to develop steadily in the spirit of equality, mutual respect and consideration of each other’s interests.

    This year our countries celebrate a significant date – 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations. As was indicated at the recent meeting of To Lam with the Chairman of the Russian Government Mikhail Mishustin, today special attention is paid to increasing trade and economic cooperation and increasing mutual trade turnover between Russia and Vietnam.

    “We see how much Vietnam has achieved in these areas

    in recent years. By the end of 2024, the GDP growth rate exceeded 7%, and the country’s trade turnover approached the $800 billion mark. The Russian economy is also showing high growth rates: by the end of last year – more than 4.1%. Today, the demand of the state and business for increasing economic ties, including with our friendly Vietnam, is obvious. The key tasks of our bilateral cooperation are mutual investments and the implementation of specific projects. We need to create the most favorable climate for the fruitful work of Russian and Vietnamese companies in the markets of both countries,” said the Russian Deputy Prime Minister.

    The Free Trade Agreement has been in force between Russia and Vietnam for almost 10 years. It provides duty-free access to almost all groups of goods. Especially in such important positions as dairy products, meat, wheat, fertilizers and cars. It is important to come to a joint decision on how to use this agreement even more effectively.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko also noted the Comprehensive Cooperation Plan for the period up to 2030 signed in January: “It was this strategic document that allowed us to agree on joint measures and new mechanisms for cooperation on projects in the scientific sphere, energy and mechanical engineering, which will lead to an almost threefold increase in trade turnover between our countries – up to 15 billion dollars by 2030.”

    Cooperation is developing on the digital track: “Vietnam is the leader in terms of growth rates of the digital economy and e-commerce. Russia offers the best solutions in the field of digital technologies, industrial software and telecommunications. The work of the joint Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies in Hanoi has already been launched,” the Russian Deputy Prime Minister said.

    In agriculture, Russia and Vietnam not only successfully carry out mutual deliveries of food products, but are already localizing production.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko also highlighted cooperation in the tourism sector: “According to the Ministry of Economic Development, following the results of the first quarter of 2025, Russia came out on top in terms of growth rates of tourist flow to Vietnam – 110%. We are creating comfortable conditions for your tourists in Russia. An electronic visa for Vietnamese citizens has been launched, and we are increasingly adapting the service sector to their wishes. We will increase the length of stay, for example, with an electronic visa to 30 days. We are expanding the geography of flights of Russian airlines to Vietnamese cities. We sincerely thank the Vietnamese side for the fact that on May 8, with the participation of the Secretary General, the flight program of Vietnam Airlines from Hanoi to Moscow was resumed. I am confident that this will allow us to qualitatively improve the level of our relations in the tourism industry!” he said.

    The Deputy Prime Minister invited Vietnamese partners to take part in the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok in 2025.

    To Lam stressed the importance of economic cooperation between Vietnam and Russia. According to him, the parties reached an agreement to expand investment volumes to $15 billion. To Lam called on business circles of both countries to actively conclude contracts and agreements within the framework of the business forum in order to maximize the benefits in all areas: investment, trade, and scientific and technical cooperation. He also expressed Vietnam’s interest in deepening partnership relations with Russia in such sectors as agriculture, energy, industry, mechanical engineering, and information technology. He specifically mentioned the great potential for cooperation in energy and agriculture.

    In conclusion, the Secretary General thanked the Russian Government for providing conditions for Vietnamese investors and businessmen aimed at developing tourism in Russia.

    In the presence of Dmitry Chernyshenko and To Lam, a ceremony of exchanging bilateral documents between Russian and Vietnamese companies took place. Among them are the Agreement on Cooperation between the National Research University Higher School of Economics and the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, as well as the Memorandum of Understanding, Strategic Cooperation for 2025-2026 for the purpose of jointly promoting Vietnam as a tourist destination and Vinpearl products between Anex Tour LLC and Vinpearl.

    The official ceremony of transferring the research vessel Professor Gagarinsky to the joint Russian-Vietnamese Tropical and Technological Center.

    On May 11, a ceremonial handover of the research vessel Professor Gagarinsky to the joint Russian-Vietnamese Tropical and Technological Center took place in Vladivostok. On May 12, Russian scientists and a Vietnamese crew will set off on their first joint voyage, during which marine research will be conducted along the route from Vladivostok to Haiphong.

    Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Co-Chairman of the Russian-Vietnamese Intergovernmental Commission Dmitry Chernyshenko sent a welcoming address to the event participants. He recalled that 2025 marks 75 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and quoted Russian President Vladimir Putin, who emphasized that relations between Russia and Vietnam continue to “develop progressively in the spirit of equality, mutual respect and consideration of each other’s interests.”

    “Bilateral cooperation has been established in various areas, including science and technology. A Memorandum has been signed on the implementation of the project to create a Nuclear Science and Technology Center in Vietnam. The Hanoi branch of the Pushkin Russian Language Institute will be actively developed. We will also continue to equip the joint Russian-Vietnamese Tropical Center. The transfer of this modern vessel will allow us to conduct joint research in the waters of Vietnam and study current problems of the marine environment,” the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia noted.

    The ceremony to hand over the vessel was attended by Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Konstantin Mogilevsky, Deputy Minister of National Defense of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Hoang Xuan Tien, members of the Bureau of the Intergovernmental Coordination Committee of the Tropical Center, representatives of the scientific and maritime communities of Vladivostok and descendants of Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences Yuri Vladimirovich Gagarinsky, after whom the vessel was named.

    “Many natural processes that are significant for humanity are particularly pronounced in the tropical zone. It is important for us that Russian scientists have the opportunity to work there on a permanent basis. And our joint Russian-Vietnamese Tropical Center, which received the vessel today, gives scientific teams from our countries the opportunity to work in these places. In this way, we open up new opportunities for our scientists,” said Konstantin Mogilevsky.

    The decision to transfer the research vessel to the Tropical Center was made in January 2025 – an intergovernmental agreement between the Russian Ministry of Education and Science and the Vietnamese Ministry of Defense was signed in Hanoi in the presence of Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Tinh. The Tropical Center plans to expand comprehensive marine environmental research in Vietnam’s territorial waters and develop a corresponding scientific program for the coming year.

    The R/V Professor Gagarinsky is equipped with geophysical and hydrographic laboratories, a workshop for repairing pneumatic sources, and rooms for office processing and electric compressors. Given the size of the vessel, researchers can carry out work on it both in the open sea and in the coastal zone.

    “The transfer of the vessel is a symbol of traditional friendship and comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Russia. In just 10 days, “Professor Gagarinsky” will arrive in the port of Haiphong. And scientists from the Tropical Center will have the opportunity to conduct research in remote waters of the sea of Vietnam. We undertake to use the vessel as efficiently as possible and achieve new scientific results,” said Deputy Minister of National Defense of Vietnam Hoang Xuan Tien.

    As a gesture of friendship, the Vietnamese side decided to leave the name of Yuri Vladimirovich Gagarinsky, a Soviet chemist and corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, on the ship transferred by Russia.

    Recall that the day before, Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam To Lam. The parties outlined ways to further advance the comprehensive strategic partnership in various areas, including scientific and technological cooperation.

    During the meeting, a ceremony of exchanging signed documents between Russia and Vietnam took place. Among them are agreements concluded during a working meeting between Valery Falkov and the Minister of Science and Technology of Vietnam Nguyen Manh Hung.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Water park beyond the Arctic Circle: the best report of the “Architectural Seasons” has been named

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering – Ekaterina Voznyak and Grand Prix winner Victoria Ivanova

    The results of the III National (All-Russian) scientific-practical conference “Architectural Seasons” were summed up at SPbGASU. The conference work was held in four departments-sections, 88 reports were heard.

    Each department identified the best speakers who presented their work to the competition jury, which included faculty members of the architecture department and invited experts. However, there were not four but five contenders for the award: the architectural design department nominated two finalists at once.

    “The smartest and strongest master’s students of our faculty have gathered here. Representatives of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University have also come to us. We need to develop, compare our level with others: we will take something from you, and you will take something from us. We will compete, but this will not cancel our deep respect for each other,” said Ekaterina Voznyak, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture, in her welcoming speech.

    Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural Design Fyodor Perov announced the opening of a new training program in the Master’s program 07.04.01 Architecture. Architectural Design and Urbanism for the Arctic Zone of Russia since 2025. Fyodor Viktorovich emphasized that the Arctic has become the most important area of development and training at SPbGASU.

    During the presentations of the students, the master’s student of SPbGASU Victoria Talavirya presented the results of her dissertation work. She examined the formation of the architectural and design environment of the equestrian complex as a public space (scientific supervisor – associate professor of the landscape architecture department Irina Shkolnikova).

    According to Victoria, modern society has faced a number of problems in the environmental, social, and economic spheres, indirectly or directly related to the equestrian industry. Such problems include the deterioration of the physiological and psychological state of the population, the reduction of buffer zones within the city, the destruction of natural landscapes, and the low level of equestrian sports in Russia. As a solution to these problems, the student proposed holding sports events, creating unique public spaces, developing domestic horse breeding, etc.

    “The concept of an ideal equestrian complex should be based on the symbiosis of three factors: the creation of a public space that attracts people to equestrian sports; involvement in the culture of ecotourism, promotion of views and ideas that influence attitudes towards ecology; creation of conditions that satisfy all the needs of horses. The results of the dissertation can be used in further theoretical and practical work on the design of multifunctional equestrian complexes. Two scientific articles have been published on the topic of the dissertation research,” said Victoria. Alexandra Sudarikova, a student of the Higher School of Design and Architecture of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, presented a report on “Development of Ecotourism Territories in Russia Using the Example of the Republic of Karelia” (supervisor – Associate Professor of the Higher School of Design and Architecture Elena Ladik).

    According to Alexandra, domestic tourism is becoming increasingly popular in Russia. At the same time, ecotourism is becoming the most dynamically developing direction, which is due to the desire of modern people for clean and safe recreation, saving resources and preserving the natural environment. Ecotourists prefer recreation in small groups in active interaction with nature, choose environmentally friendly options for transport and accommodation. In this context, Karelia with its unique natural landscapes is one of the most attractive regions.

    The student chose the city of Kem, located on the route to the Murmansk Region and the Solovetsky Islands, as the territory for the study. By order of the President of Russia, the Kemsky District and the Belomorsky District are classified as Arctic support settlements.

    Alexandra identified the territory for the development of tourist infrastructure and proposed to form additional walking and water routes in the city. In addition, she developed a project proposal for an all-season tourist complex on the riverside territory of the Kem River, which will become a potential point of attraction for city residents and tourists.

    Vasilisa Smirnova, a master’s student at SPbGASU, spoke about the regional architectural features of the manor development of the 18th–19th centuries in the city of Toropets in the Tver Region (academic supervisor: associate professor of the Department of Architectural and Urban Heritage Natalia Dubrovina).

    There are six estate complexes on the territory of modern Toropets. They are significantly ruined and in a lost state. To find analogues, Vasilisa expanded the boundaries of the study and studied 46 estates where the main house has been preserved. She focused on estates built of stone in the 18th–19th centuries in the classical and eclectic styles.

    “Five main types were identified in general according to the volumetric-spatial and compositional solution of the main house. The estates of the city of Toropets turned out to be diverse. They are related to the types of the Pskov, Novgorod, Tver and Smolensk regions. However, the estate has characteristic features of the so-called Toropets Baroque,” the student said.

    The author believes that the main results of his project are the organization of points of attraction for local residents and tourists, the design of development zones for children and the improvement of territories.

    Master’s student Nikita Milov developed a project for a multifunctional sea terminal in Kandalaksha, Murmansk Region (supervised by associate professors of the Department of Architectural Design Alexey Mikhalychev, Igor Ivanov, Yulia Devyatova and Valeria Supranovich). The topic of the work is based on a fundamental approach to the development of the Far North. The student is confident that Kandalaksha has great tourism potential as a point for sea and river cruises from Moscow and St. Petersburg to Arkhangelsk, Salekhard, Tiksi and further along the northern coast. Kandalaksha can become both a transit point for these routes and create its own package of offers. The routes can be one-day, short-term, medium-term and long-term.

    Victoria Ivanova, a student of the Department of Urban Development at SPbGASU, designed a residential area with a multifunctional tourist complex in Monchegorsk, Murmansk Region (scientific supervisors: associate professors of the Department of Architectural Design Fyodor Perov and Alexandra Eremeeva, associate professor and academic secretary of the department Olga Kokorina, senior lecturer Larisa Venatovskaya).

    “Based on the urban development analysis, I identified the main hubs of public life in the city, drew up a diagram of the relationship between the main hubs and identified four main sites that were the most promising for development. The choice was made on the territory of the Leningradskaya Embankment with a park near Komsomolskoye Lake and a yacht club. It would seem, what kind of yacht club is there in the north? However, in Monchegorsk, one has existed since the 1950s. In the summer season, sailing competitions and regattas are held annually; in March of this year, the Russian Windsurfing Championship was held. At the same time, the infrastructure of the yacht club is in decline: the building is falling apart, there are vacant lots and chaotically located boathouses and garages around. There is a complex system of residential development in the block. It is mainly represented by outdated Soviet-era buildings in need of renovation.”

    According to Victoria, the main urban problems are ecology and population outflow. However, there are recreational resources that can be used wisely.

    Victoria proposed creating a single route that would connect four key points – the bus station, the park at Komsomolskoye Lake, Leningradskaya Embankment and the yacht club, which could become a center of attraction not only within the block, but for the entire city. The complex consists of various buildings connected to each other: residential buildings, a hotel, a preserved yacht club building, new and under-construction boathouses, a panoramic restaurant on the water, a building of a water entertainment complex with a water park, an entertainment center, exhibition halls, and a cafe. The water park offers a view of Lake Imandra and the Khibiny Mountains. The architectural appearance was formed in accordance with Sami motifs (the Sami are the indigenous people of the territory).

    The author of the project is confident that the multifunctional complex can become an additional vector for the city’s development, slow down the rate of outflow of local residents and increase the flow of tourists to the region.

    Alexandra Sudarikova, Vasilisa Smirnova, Victoria Talavirya, Nikita Milov and Victoria Ivanova received first-degree diplomas. Victoria Ivanova also received the Grand Prix.

    We wish you further professional success!

    The jubilee, twentieth in a row, military-patriotic rally “Syandeba. Connection of generations” was held in Karelia. It was timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. More than 100 students, teachers and employees of the Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University gathered at the site of bloody battles. This rally has long become the most important tradition for polytechnics – a relay race of memory that young people pass on from generation to generation.

    Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Communication Technologies Maxim Pasholikov visited the scene. He expressed gratitude to the organizers and participants of the gathering, emphasizing the importance of the event in preserving historical memory and passing it on to future generations. This gives an opportunity to touch the fates of the polytechnicians who stood up to defend the Motherland during the Great Patriotic War.

    The participants of the rally organized a festive concert dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Ceremonial rallies were held. The first one was held at the monument to the soldiers of the 3rd (Vyborg) regiment of the Leningrad division of the people’s militia who died in the battles for the height of 40.0 in August 1941. The ranks of the rallied …

    The second rally took place at the Alyosha memorial complex, attended by a delegation from Spain. Together with the polytechnicians, young Spaniards, who also bravely fought against the Nazi invaders, also signed up as volunteers for the 3rd Frunze division of the people’s militia. They fought shoulder to shoulder with our students on the Karelian front and died for this land. The guys planted a young oak tree brought from Guernica, symbolizing fortitude and courage.

    According to tradition, the Military History Club “Our Polytechnic” organized a reconstruction of “Syandeba, 1941”. Polytechnicians, dressed in the uniform of Red Army soldiers, fought as student militiamen once fought. Each shot, each fall to the ground is not just an element of the production, but a deep, personal experience of history. Deafening explosions, screams, smoke and shots made the reconstruction not just a spectacle, it became an emotional journey through time, allowing viewers to feel at what cost the Victory was won.

    At the gathering, students read real letters from the front of the Polytechnics, helped restore the museum, participated in a military-sports game, went on a walking tour of the places of military glory of the 3rd Frunze Division of the Leningrad People’s Militia, tidied up mass graves, monuments and much more.

    Syandeba is not just a point on the map. It is a living memory that we carefully preserve and pass on. Here, among the Karelian forests, each participant of the gathering becomes part of a great history, part of a living connection between generations.

    This brought us even closer together! Thank you for the opportunity to relax, find friends and celebrate the faculty anniversary, – shared Mustafa Rozyev from Turkmenistan.

    The educational program was prepared by teachers of the Higher School of International Educational Programs (HSIEEP). There were team-building trainings, quizzes on Russian history and modern culture, and a volleyball match, where international student teams competed with teachers. Indian student Gupta Purvi remembered volleyball the most: It was fun and adventurous, and the teachers were as passionate as we were.

    Jonathan Abel from Indonesia admitted that he especially enjoyed the night songs around the campfire under the starry sky: The teachers sang so beautifully that even those who did not know the words joined in with the melodies.

    Yemeni student Al-Falah Naif expressed his delight poetically: Nature whispered its secrets to us… These days will become a page in my future novel.

    Before returning to St. Petersburg, the group honored the memory of the victims of Nazism at the Dulag 100 memorial near Porkhov, where a transit camp was located during the war. The children were reminded that this year Russia solemnly celebrated the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

    Another group of students from Mexico, China, Turkmenistan, France, Thailand and Slovakia visited the State Museum of the History of Religion. They began their journey with the halls of Christian symbols, where guides gave detailed information about ancient icons, church utensils and the history of Orthodoxy in Russia. Rare exhibits, such as a reconstruction of a 17th-century altar with preserved frescoes, attracted special attention. In the Catholicism department, the participants learned about the connection between European religious traditions and Russian culture.

    Students from Turkmenistan particularly noted the halls dedicated to Islam.

    It’s unexpected to see familiar religious symbols in Russia, it brings us even closer together,” shared Matyakub Yusupov.

    The events not only strengthened intercultural ties, but also became a bridge between the past and present of the Polytechnic University, reminding us of its rich heritage, and helped to form a sense of belonging to the cultural heritage. The organizers are confident that such projects help foreign students to understand Russia more deeply and feel part of a large university family.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Brazil’s First Lady Visits Higher School of Economics

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

    On May 7, 2025, the First Lady of the Federative Republic of Brazil Jeanja Lula da Silva, an active supporter of sustainable development and the initiator of the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty, visited HSE University. During the visit, a closed meeting was held with HSE Rector Nikita Anisimov. The meeting discussed the prospects for the development of Russian-Brazilian relations in science and education.

    On this day, the Higher School of Economics hosted a round table on the topic “The Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty as a Key to Modern International Cooperation,” where Jeanja Lula da Silva was the guest of honor.

    Opening the meeting, Victoria Panova, Head of the BRICS-Russia Expert Council, Vice-Rector of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Sherpa in the Women’s Twenty, emphasized the importance of strategic partnership with Brazil, noting that the country actively expresses the position of the World Majority. Mutual understanding between Brazil and Russia on key issues of the international agenda creates favorable ground for promoting the principles of a multipolar world and strengthening ties at the level of scientific, expert and humanitarian cooperation.

    Jeanja Lula da Silva shared her personal attitude to the topic of combating poverty and hunger, which she considers her life’s work. The First Lady noted that her ancestors come from Moscow, which makes her visit to Russia especially significant. According to her, the initiative to create the Global Alliance was one of the first steps of President Lula da Silva during his third term. The Alliance is aimed at combating global challenges, primarily social inequality, hunger and extreme poverty, which still affect hundreds of millions of people around the world.

    Jeanja Lula da Silva stressed that in the context of sustainable development, states cannot ignore these challenges. The main goal is to provide real assistance to vulnerable groups, including women, children and the elderly. She paid special attention to the three key “pillars” of the Alliance: national policy, financial support and dissemination of knowledge. The Alliance currently unites 95 countries, as well as funds, international organizations and financial institutions.

    Russian experts also spoke at the round table. Vice-Rector of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Director of the Institute of Social Policy Lilia Ovcharova noted the importance of the Brazilian experience in building an effective social protection system: from employment and education support programs to child nutrition.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Chinese engineers have extracted a 38-metre-long concrete core sample from the structure of a hydroelectric dam under construction

    LHASA, May 12 (Xinhua) — Chinese engineers on Sunday successfully extracted a 38.1-meter-long concrete core sample from a dam structure of a hydroelectric power plant under construction, setting a new national standard for concrete core sampling at similar arch dams and demonstrating the country’s advanced concrete pouring and quality control capabilities in challenging high-altitude conditions.

    The cylindrical sample was extracted from the structure of the Yebatan hydroelectric dam, a project located at the junction of Sichuan Province and the Xizang Autonomous Region in southwest China.

    The Yebatan Dam is being built on the upper reaches of the Jinsha River (the name of the Yangtze River in its upper reaches). Situated at its highest altitude of nearly 2,900 meters above sea level, the dam is one of the largest hydropower projects in the country, with a maximum dam height of 217 meters and a total installed capacity of 2.24 million kW.

    The lifespan of any dam depends on how well the concrete was poured. The developer of the project reported that a massive concrete core sample, approximately the height of a 12-story building, remained intact when removed, which directly reflects the quality of the concrete pour and demonstrates that in a high-altitude region with a freezing climate, the technology of building an arch dam from concrete is at the leading level in the world. The concrete core, 245 mm in diameter, was drilled vertically through 13 sections of the arch dam, cutting through 12 horizontal joints and 80 layers of poured concrete.

    The high altitude location of this project created extreme technical challenges during construction. With temperatures fluctuating from 37.1 degrees Celsius during the day to minus 23.5 degrees Celsius at night, the project team, in collaboration with scientists and experts, successfully extracted concrete core samples using intelligent construction technologies, including an AI temperature control system and a method for heat conservation and thermal insulation for pouring in winter conditions.

    Construction of the main structure of the mentioned hydroelectric power station began in September 2018, and its first batch of power units should be put into operation by the end of 2025.

    Once operational, the plant, a key part of China’s west-to-east power transmission program, is expected to generate about 10.2 billion kWh of electricity per year.

    This will save almost 4 million tons of conventional fuel in coal equivalent and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 7.4 million tons per year.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: US Should Drop ‘China Collapse’ Rhetoric, Cherish China’s Goodwill: Chinese Economist

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    BEIJING, May 12 (Xinhua) — The United States should cherish China’s goodwill and engage in sincere negotiations instead of spreading baseless rumors of “China’s collapse,” a Chinese economist wrote in an opinion piece provided to Xinhua News Agency, highlighting China’s strong economic performance this year.

    “We should let facts, not slander, speak about the Chinese economy, and the world will make a fair judgment,” wrote Dong Yu, executive vice president of the Institute of China Development Planning at Tsinghua University, in an article titled “Fundamentals of China’s Economy from the Perspective of Macroeconomic Regulation.”

    Citing China’s solid performance in economic growth, employment, price stability and the international balance of payments this year, the article says: “Few major economies in the world have managed to maintain stable performance in all four key areas as China has.”

    Meanwhile, he wrote that US GDP contracted 0.3 percent in the first quarter of 2025 from the previous quarter on an annualized basis, and among other sluggish indicators, hiring at US companies slowed to its slowest pace in nine months in April of this year.

    The article says that China has not underestimated the challenges that changes in the external environment pose to its domestic economy. It has recently introduced a number of additional policy measures to address both the direct and indirect effects of the tariff war.

    “Many of the world’s leading investment institutions forecast robust growth for China’s economy in 2025, and also expect the country’s 15th Five-Year Plan to bring certainty to the development of not only China but the entire world,” the economist wrote.

    In contrast, the US was aggressive in launching a tariff war, turning a blind eye to domestic issues, as if it did not need to consider the negative impact of such a war on its own businesses and population, the article says. “To this day, the US government has not introduced any systemic policies to ensure the welfare of the population, instead focusing its main efforts on partisan warfare and manipulation of capital markets.”

    If a government does not plan long-term, lacks human capital and infrastructure support, has uncoordinated production and supply chains, and is not even a leader in automated manufacturing or robotics, then claims that it can revive manufacturing through tariffs are nothing more than a far-fetched narrative, Dong Yu wrote.

    According to the article, recent moves in the US stock market do not indicate a restoration of confidence. “Instead, they reflect the view of international capital that China has not abandoned its goodwill or closed the door to negotiations.”

    “Of course, such good will and patience will not be unlimited, and will be absolutely inapplicable to those who persist in shameless coercion, extortion and denial of obligations,” the economist wrote.

    What the US really needs now is to value China’s goodwill, demonstrate its sincerity and genuinely engage in negotiations, rather than pinning its hopes on baseless rhetoric about a “collapse of the Chinese economy” that, according to the article, will never materialize. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: China and Russia: Friendship between the two states begins with friendship between peoples

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    Recently, Chinese President Xi Jinping paid a state visit to Russia. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to further deepening the comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation in the new era. It is especially important to hear such statements in the era of global instability. Russian-Chinese relations are not just diplomacy and economics, but also a history of sincere friendship, respect and mutual understanding. Having lived in China for more than five years, I realized that true friendship between countries begins with friendship between people.

    Connecting Peoples – Beyond Economics and Trade

    To truly understand another culture, information from books, travel or news is not enough, you need to experience it from the inside, through work, study and communication. For more than five years, China was my home, a place where I learned Chinese, gained valuable professional experience and made friends with whom I still maintain warm ties. China became a part of my identity: I learned to think more broadly, to see the world through the eyes of others and to appreciate differences. Over the years, I have seen that the relationship between China and Russia is not limited to economics and trade, they are connected by many human stories like mine.

    The Language That Changed Lives

    My first encounter with China was in 2006, when I visited Beijing on a tourist trip. Even then, it felt like the country was on the verge of big changes, although high-speed trains and large-scale international projects were still to come. When I returned to China in 2009 to study Chinese, I had no idea how important this choice would become. Chinese became for me not just a communication tool, but also a bridge between cultures and a powerful asset.

    The work that opened up a whole world

    Later, I got a job at a Chinese media outlet in Beijing, where I contributed to stories for overseas audiences. We covered Chinese innovations in agriculture, infrastructure development, poverty eradication, and the preservation of intangible cultural heritage. It was an invaluable experience: I saw China from different sides, not only through official data, but also through people’s stories, dreams, and aspirations. Each article became a new step toward mutual understanding.

    Personal connections as a path to understanding

    Every day, living and working in China, I admired the hard work of the Chinese people, their willingness to learn and develop. I saw how cities were changing rapidly, innovations were being introduced, and Chinese technologies were spreading around the world. This progress was impressive, but even more impressive was the human warmth. My friends and colleagues were interested in asking about Russia and sharing their stories. We exchanged experiences and views – it is these personal connections that, as I now understand, create a solid foundation for international relations.

    Respect as the basis of trust

    It was especially valuable to feel the respectful attitude towards Russia on the part of the Chinese. In contrast to the criticism that can often be heard in the West, in China I encountered genuine interest in Russia and admiration for Russian culture. This strengthened my confidence in the future partnership of our countries. It seems to me that it is respect, openness and trust that become the foundation of strong relations between states, starting from the level of ordinary people.

    The Future in Dialogue: Language, Science, Culture

    Today, Russian-Chinese relations go beyond traditional trade and economic cooperation, embracing science, education, and culture. Educational projects, scientific research, and academic exchanges play a special role. More and more young people are learning each other’s languages, which opens up new horizons and builds trust. Cultural exchanges – festivals, exhibitions, theater productions, film screenings – help to understand mentalities, strengthen interest and mutual sympathy. Art is becoming a universal language that overcomes barriers.

    Strength lies in shared values

    I have always been touched by the similarity of our cultural values: respect for elders, high value of education, hospitality. These common foundations, as I have understood from personal experience, are truly a strong foundation for the friendship of our peoples and countries.

    Conclusion: Looking to the Future

    Watching the development of Chinese-Russian relations today, I feel joy. For me, this is not just the history of two states, it is also the history of two peoples who want to understand and respect each other. I believe that we still have many joint steps ahead, each of which begins with dialogue, mutual interest and trust.

    GENEVA, May 12 (Xinhua) — Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng said Sunday that the high-level China-U.S. talks on economic and trade issues held here were frank, in-depth and constructive.

    He Lifeng, the coordinator for China-US economic and trade relations on the Chinese side, made the statement at a press briefing following a meeting with US representatives.

    According to him, the parties reached a number of important consensuses and also agreed to create a mechanism for trade and economic consultations.

    He Lifeng noted that China and the United States will finalize the relevant details as soon as possible and release a joint statement agreed upon during the talks on Monday.

    He stressed that, given the current situation, this meeting attracted the close attention of the international community.

    According to the Vice Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China, thanks to the joint efforts of both sides, the talks were very productive, which was an important step towards resolving differences through equal dialogue and consultation, and created conditions for further overcoming differences and deepening cooperation.

    Trade and economic relations between China and the United States are not only important for the two countries, but also have a significant impact on the stability and development of the global economy, he noted.

    China is willing to work with the United States to implement the consensus reached by the two leaders during their phone conversation on January 17, He Lifeng added.

    He also called on both sides to take a pragmatic approach to solving problems, conduct frank dialogue and consultation on an equal footing, effectively manage differences, unleash the potential of cooperation and make the cooperation “pie” even bigger, so as to promote new development of China-US economic and trade relations and bring more certainty and stability to the world economy. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The story of an NSU graduate: a path in science and inspiration for future generations

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    Gennady Barykinsky, graduate Physics Department of NSU 1977, dedicated his life to science. Working in the field of laser physics, he always wanted to learn new things. Now, in retirement, he is engaged in historical research, studies genealogy and creates films. In an interview, he spoke about his difficult student years, the path to obtaining a diploma, the principles that helped him along the way, and why he believes that life should be filled with meaning.

    — Tell us why you decided to apply to NSU?

    — In my thoughts, I always went back to two episodes of my life that radically influenced my choice. The first episode, oddly enough, was military service in the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany. Here I was appointed commander of a platoon for controlling a radar guidance station. At that time, I did not understand not only electronics and radio engineering, but also many elementary concepts of physics. The officers literally shoved textbooks on radio engineering at me and demanded that I master all of this. After demobilization, I was constantly tormented by the same thought: “How is this possible? If I was able to master such complex technology in the army, then surely I will not be able to master higher education,” says Gennady.

    The second episode was the purchase of a directory-catalogue of all higher educational institutions in the country. Through selection, Gennady determined that he liked not a narrowly specialized education, but a more universal one – university. He decided that he was not up to Moscow, Leningrad and Kiev were too academic, but the “youth and elegance of Novosibirsk” was just right.

    — I came for the entrance exams. I was placed in the sixth dormitory in one room with three other applicants. In a few days, I heard such words as limit, derivative, integral and many others from these guys for the first time. I finally realized that I had nothing to do at the entrance exams. However, I still went to the first exam in written mathematics for a bad grade. After the exam, going down to the first floor of the university, I saw an announcement inviting applicants who had failed the exam to an interview at the dean’s office of the full-time preparatory department (PD) of NSU, — Gennady recalls.

    The next two semesters of the school year passed in a state of great emotional tension. Gennady actually had to master almost the entire high school curriculum in five exam subjects in 8 months. Therefore, the school day lasted from dawn to dusk. In addition to in-person classes and mandatory homework, Gennady studied at least four hours every day. Therefore, out of 25 exam points, he scored 23, as it turned out, passing points and was still enrolled in the university.

    — What do you remember about studying at NSU?

    — I have never experienced so many emotions in my life as at the beginning of my student years. The first lectures. The first seminars. And in general, many firsts. Somewhere in my soul there is a feeling of pride that all this happened. One of the warmest memories was left by the deputy dean for our course, candidate of physical and mathematical sciences Vasily Vasilyevich Murakhtanov. In my life, I have never met a person who possessed, to a greater extent than Vasily Vasilyevich, a whole set of such qualities in relation to the interlocutor as: intelligence, modesty, tolerance. One day he came up to me and said: “Gennady Mikhailovich, the dean’s office has an offer – you to lead a group of fourth-year physicists on a summer exchange trip to Poland to the University of Krakow, for almost a month.” I agreed. Half a month passes, he approaches again: “Excuse me, but the university administration insists that you head the student construction teams of the university, and instead of a trip to Poland, we will then organize a trip to another, more interesting country for you.” He persuaded me again. Everything happened just like that, I didn’t even regret it, because I managed to go to Cuba, but that’s a completely different story, – Gennady said.

    Gennady calls the path to his diploma work thorny, since he spent a long time choosing a department and tried himself in different scientific institutes: theoretical and applied mechanics, automation and electrometry, thermal physics, chemical kinetics and combustion.

    — This almost led to the fact that I did not have time to submit my fourth-year coursework to the dean’s office. But fate decreed otherwise. My friend Boris Bondarev, an active leader of the student club “Quantum”, advised me to try myself in laser physics. That’s how I ended up in the Laser Physics Department of the Institute of Semiconductor Physics under the supervision of Viktor Vasilyevich Lebedev. I remember him with great warmth — thanks to him, I dedicated my life to laser physics and I do not regret it. My diploma defense was successful — on June 2, 1978, my work was rated “excellent”. Later, its materials were published in the journal “Quantum Electronics”. This experience taught me that persistence and perseverance always bring results, even if the path turns out to be more difficult than expected, — the graduate recalls.

    During his entire period of study, Gennady only once received a bad mark on an exam. It was thermodynamics. Now Gennady is 76 years old, he has been retired for a long time, but he really likes to do research work on studying the history and genealogy of his family. He also creates texts, articles and videos with interest.

    — I am working on the design of my memories and some other topics in films that I have learned to create myself. I never thought that making films is incredibly interesting. A monograph is not excluded! Currently, several films about NSU are in the works: “A Big Film about the NSU SSO in the Period 1976-1979”, “A Film about the First Congress of NSU Graduates, the Creation and Functioning of this Union”, “The Second Part of the Film “NSU in Faces”, “A Film about the Problems of Graduates — Young Scientists”. I want to wish the graduates of 2025 to live by the meaning and essence, and not by the color of the packaging,” Gennady concludes.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Mongol girl Iriguy: “keeper of the sunset” in the vastness of the steppe

    In Hanging Qi, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, there is a Mongolian girl who has won the respect of the elderly with her professionalism and warmth, and has become the embodiment of the responsibility and dedication of workers in the new era. Her name is Irigui, and she is the deputy director of Mendesai Elderly Care Center. In 2025, she was awarded the title of Excellent Laborer of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

    Elderly care is a job that requires not only love, but also great physical and emotional commitment. Iriguy, a representative of the 90s generation, has been working in this field for 8 years. In 2017, immediately after completing her studies, she gave up a high-paying position and returned to her homeland with a firm intention to work in the field of elderly care. Having started her career as an ordinary employee, she actively improved her professional qualifications, took various courses and systematically expanded her knowledge and skills. Over time, Iriguy became a universal specialist in this field.

    “When I first started working in this field, I couldn’t imagine how much an elder care specialist needs to know: how to provide psychological support, daily care, and basic medical care. When I didn’t know something, I learned from experienced colleagues, doctors, and nurses. If I did something wrong, I practiced over and over again, and also searched for information on the Internet,” recalls Irigui. Under her leadership, the Mendesai Center introduced an innovative care model that offers a range of health and care services, which significantly increased the happiness of the elderly.

    “Being awarded the title of Excellent Labor Worker of the Autonomous Region is a great honor for me. However, it is not only an honor, but also a great responsibility. I want to be an exemplary example, share all my knowledge with other employees and help train more qualified specialists in elderly care,” Iriguy says with confidence.
