  • MIL-OSI Russia: Moscow sets the global trend in urban transport.

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    During a press conference held on July 7, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov gave detailed answers to key questions regarding the development of urban transport.

    Large-scale metro update:

    The share of updated rolling stock in the Moscow metro has reached 77% This year, 144 Moskva-2024 cars were delivered, and another 128 are expected by the end of the year In 2026–2027, the fleet will be replenished with more than 700 new Moskva-2026 cars By 2030, the share of new trains will exceed 90%

    Industrial growth and innovation:

    Moscow is the largest industrial and scientific center of Russia, where more than 4.5 thousand enterprises operate. Over five years, clothing production has grown by 58.3 times, machinery and equipment – by 7.5 times, electronics and optics – by 5.4 times. The industrial production index for January-May 2025 increased by 6% compared to last year.

    Unmanned technologies and safety:

    In 2025, the first driverless tram with passengers in Russia will start operating; by 2035, the entire tram fleet will be driverless. The Sfera video analytics system is being introduced in the metro, which has already helped find 17,000 criminals and 2,000 missing people, including children.

    Regular river transport:

    In two years of regular river routes, Moscow has become a world leader: no other megacity has an analog of such an electric transport system. During its operation, more than 2 million passengers have used river transport, which has significantly exceeded the city’s expectations. Three routes and 29 electric vessels are already operating in the capital, and by 2030 the fleet will increase to 60 vessels and four more new routes will appear. The recently opened Novospassky-ZIL route has already made about 15 thousand trips.

    The new future of the monorail – a park at altitude:

    More than 71% of Muscovites supported the creation of the first year-round park in Russia on the site of a monorail. The new park with an area of 40 thousand square meters will connect five districts and will become a new city landmark with running tracks, alleys, cafes and recreation areas. Some of the monorail cars will be preserved as a historical monument, and employees will receive new jobs in the metro.

    Major infrastructure projects:

    In 2026, the reconstruction of Yaroslavsky Station will begin, designed for 2.5 years, with an increase in passenger space and integration into the city’s transport system. The first cluster in Russia for the production of batteries for electric transport is being built in New Moscow, which will cover almost all the needs of the Central Federal District.

    Development of micromobility:

    There are about 350 “slow zones” for electric scooters in Moscow, where the speed is limited to 5-15 km/h. In 3.5 months, users have made more than 32 million trips on electric scooters, while the number of serious accidents has decreased by 25% due to comprehensive safety measures. Mandatory verification via Mos ID has been introduced, which has allowed 32 thousand accounts of minors to be blocked. During the season, 39 thousand fines were issued and 46 thousand accounts of violators were blocked.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The bill on regulating the platform economy was adopted by the State Duma in the first reading

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    The State Duma deputies adopted the draft federal law “On Certain Issues of Regulating the Platform Economy in the Russian Federation” in the first reading, as well as a package of amendments to industry legislation required in connection with the new regulation. These measures are designed to ensure transparency and stability of the market, protect the interests of consumers and entrepreneurs, and create conditions for the further growth of the platform economy.

    The new regulation was developed on the instructions of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin and under the supervision of the Deputy Chairman and Chief of Staff of the Government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Grigorenko.

    “The President has instructed to speed up the adoption of the law on the platform economy, and together with the deputies we have already begun to implement this task. Last week we submitted an initiative to the State Duma, and today the draft law was adopted in the first reading. Such efficiency proves that we and the deputies see the goal of regulation in the same way. This is the protection of the rights and interests of our citizens: buyers, sellers, owners of order pick-up points and, in general, all participants in the platform economy,” commented Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of Staff of the Government of Russia Dmitry Grigorenko.

    The main focus of the developed regulation is on intermediary digital platforms that combine information about goods and services, allow transactions and payments, noted Maxim Reshetnikov, Minister of Economic Development of Russia, in a report to the lower house of parliament. A unified conceptual apparatus is also introduced, the rights and obligations of platform operators, sellers, buyers and service providers are clearly defined.

    “Over the past four years, online sales have quadrupled, and their share in retail trade has reached 15%. About 80% of Internet users access platforms every month – 6 billion orders were placed in 2024. Business is actively moving online: today, more than a million sellers work on platforms, and 80% of them are representatives of small and medium businesses,” Maxim Reshetnikov emphasized.

    The new regulation will increase trust in the platform economy. Every day, more than half of the country’s population becomes buyers, sellers, and orders various services through platforms – from grocery delivery to taxi rides, the minister emphasized.

    A number of measures are aimed at increasing the responsibility of platforms to buyers. Now operators are required to check data on sellers through the public services portal and official registers. Product cards without safety confirmation (labeling, certification or declaration of conformity) will not be published. Additionally, requirements for the storage of goods are established, including compliance with sanitary standards.

    Agreements between operators and sellers must include clear grounds for sanctions, changes in the position of the product card in search results, the procedure for changing prices and calculating the operator’s remuneration for providing services. Platform operators, in turn, are required to notify partners of changes in essential conditions at least 45 days in advance. Fines and blocking are possible only after a reasonable notice of three days. The use of discounts at the expense of the seller is allowed only with his consent, which can be revoked at any time. Also, platforms are required to provide reconciliation statements of mutual settlements upon request within seven days and update them monthly.

    “Such detailing will make it easier for businesses to defend their rights. Moreover, it will be possible to resolve disputes with platforms not only through the courts, but also out of court. For this purpose, a special system will become mandatory on platforms, through which a compromise can be found with the operator,” Maxim Reshetnikov emphasized, adding that initiatives of State Duma deputies, as well as proposals from businesses, industry associations and experts, were taken into account when developing the bills. This made it possible to create a balanced regulatory system that will contribute to the sustainable development of the platform economy.

    Digital platforms are a fast-growing segment of the economy, and its regulation requires a serious, balanced approach, says Denis Kravchenko, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy.

    “Today, the State Duma supported the bill on the platform economy in the first reading. We have been working on this bill together with the government for over a year. During its preparation, the text of the law underwent significant changes taking into account the position of market players, the expert community and deputies. Yesterday, the bill was unanimously supported by deputies of the Committee on Economic Policy. Today, during the discussion, consolidated support was also born. This is very important for us. This is a new sector of the economy, which will be defined in the near future. It is growing rapidly, so it requires serious legislative regulation. We will finalize the text for the second reading,” Denis Kravchenko commented.

    Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak held a meeting of the headquarters on the situation on the domestic oil products market with the participation of representatives of the Ministry of Energy, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the Ministry of Agriculture, Russian Railways, heads of the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange, oil companies, and State Duma deputies.

    The parties discussed the current situation on the oil products market during the period of increased summer demand, the terms of their sales on the St. Petersburg Exchange, as well as the supply of fuel to agricultural producers.

    According to the Ministry of Energy, prices for diesel fuel and gasoline remain stable, within the inflation rate. Deliveries to agricultural producers during the harvesting campaign are going according to plan, all requests from farmers are being satisfied. A representative of the Federal Antimonopoly Service noted the need to increase gasoline supplies to exchange trading to ensure market balance.

    Alexander Novak instructed the Ministry of Energy and the Federal Antimonopoly Service to assess the marginality of gas stations taking into account the mandatory costs of gas stations, and Russian Railways to solve the problem of empty wagons standing idle after unloading goods. This will help ensure timely loading and removal of petroleum products by oil companies to consumers. Oil companies have been instructed to promptly remove refineries from repairs and meet planned fuel production targets.

    “We cannot allow a sharp increase in gasoline prices. I ask the Ministry of Energy, together with oil companies, to keep their finger on the pulse and manually balance the supply of fuel to the market in order to meet the increased demand of consumers in the summer and early autumn months. To do this, it is necessary to ensure its uniform sale on the exchange, and also not allow oil companies to purchase goods from each other on the exchange. They must purchase petroleum products under direct contracts,” said Alexander Novak.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Dmitry Patrushev: 3 billion rubles will be allocated for the implementation of the national project “Ecological Well-being” in Kuzbass by 2030

    During a working visit to Kemerovo Oblast, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev met with the head of the region, Ilya Seredyuk, and visited a number of large industrial enterprises in Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk. At the meeting, the parties discussed the socio-economic development of the region, the performance indicators of the agro-industrial complex, and the implementation of the activities of the national project “Environmental Well-Being”.

    Dmitry Patrushev noted that the Kemerovo Region is among the leaders of the Siberian Federal District in terms of gross regional product. The main contribution is made by the extractive industry. The region strives to create favorable conditions for economic development. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, an important mechanism for socio-economic development is the implementation of the relevant Strategies for the socio-economic development of the Siberian Federal District (SFD) until 2035, approved by the Russian Government, which in the long term will create more than 20 thousand jobs.

    “Speaking about agriculture, I would like to note that Kuzbass is a major producer of grain and oilseed crops in Siberia. We expect that the unfavorable weather that accompanies field work will not seriously affect the final harvest. As for environmental activities, Kuzbass is participating in the relevant national project. The Government has allocated more than 3 billion rubles for this until 2030. The funds will be allocated, among other things, for reforestation, reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere in Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk, developing a waste management system and improving the health of water bodies. We expect high-quality implementation of all planned projects,” said Dmitry Patrushev.

    During his trip to Kemerovo, the Deputy Prime Minister visited the mineral fertilizer plant of KAO Azot. The company ranks fifth in Russia in terms of nitrogen fertilizer production. At the same time, much attention is paid to the implementation of environmental protection measures. Dmitry Patrushev inspected the liquid carbon dioxide production workshop, the selective cleaning construction site, and the engineering and design center.

    “Russia is one of the world’s largest producers of mineral fertilizers and is a leader in their export. Without fertilizers, it is impossible to talk about a systematic increase in crop yields. Therefore, the Government is taking measures that have allowed a significant increase in fertilizer supplies to the domestic market in recent years. Your plant is one of the country’s leaders in the production of nitrogen fertilizers,” he noted.

    In addition, the Deputy Prime Minister familiarized himself with the history of the development of the coal industry in the Kemerovo Region in the historical and architectural museum-reserve “Krasnaya Gorka”. The coal industry has historically played a key role in the economy of Kuzbass; in the Kemerovo Region, the industry provides jobs for about 100 thousand people. The museum was founded at the site of the discovery of the Kuznetsk coal basin and preserves evidence of the formation of the industrial center of Siberia.

    Dmitry Patrushev also visited the largest industrial enterprises of Novokuznetsk and got acquainted with the progress of environmental projects aimed at reducing the negative impact on the environment within the framework of the federal project “Clean Air”. Thus, the Deputy Prime Minister got acquainted with the progress of construction of the sulfur gas purification unit of the Evraz metallurgical plant. The modern powerful unit will ensure a high degree of purification of flue gases from sulfur dioxide and reduce its emission into the atmosphere by 70%. The commissioning of the complex is expected in 2026.

    In addition, Dmitry Patrushev inspected the dry gas cleaning facility under construction at the Kuznetsk Ferroalloys plant. The enterprise is the country’s largest producer of ferrosilicon – an alloy of silicon and iron used in ferrous metallurgy, mechanical engineering and the chemical industry. The best available technology for environmentally friendly modernization of production is the installation of dry gas cleaning complexes for ferroalloy furnaces. Currently, emissions of pollutants into the city’s atmosphere have been reduced by 30% from the 2017 level.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Ministry of Economic Development: monitoring the quality of public services covers all services in the country.

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has approved a new regulation on the Information and Analytical System for Monitoring the Quality of Public Services (IAS MKGU). The key innovation of the document was a significant expansion of the system’s functionality. Now, not only are citizen reviews on the quality of state and municipal services collected and processed, but they are also analyzed using the BI analytical module. This allows for continuous monitoring of service quality in automatic mode, analyzing objective data from information systems regardless of the form in which they are provided.

    The monitoring tracks the life cycle of the provision of services and electronic services. Monitoring is carried out on more than 20 indicators: refusals, delays, technical errors, level of complaints, assessment, level of satisfaction, feedback conversion and others. Based on the results, ratings of services, departments and subjects of the Russian Federation are formed. Last year, modern public opinion research tools were integrated into the system, including monitoring of social networks, a service for sending notifications and collecting feedback from applicants via the VK social network was launched.

    Currently, 57 subjects of the Russian Federation are connected to the system. More than 5.3 million notifications were delivered to citizens, of which more than 1.17 million contained a feedback collection questionnaire. By May 2025, the conversion rate of feedback collection in VK through the Vashkontrol service was 82.1%.

    “All these changes will allow us to promptly identify problem areas in the provision of public services and respond to them promptly, which will ultimately increase citizens’ satisfaction with the work of government agencies. The updated IAS MKGU has become another step in the digital transformation of public administration on the way to increasing the efficiency of interaction between the authorities and society,” said State Secretary – Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Alexey Khersontsev.

    IAS MKGU was created in 2012 to collect feedback and calculate the level of citizen satisfaction with the quality of services. Initially, the system was limited to monitoring 63 of the most popular services, but now all services and electronic services in the country will be covered.

    Currently, representatives of ministries and departments of federal and regional government levels and MFCs are registering to gain access to personal accounts of the IAS MKGU, where they will be able to monitor the quality of their services in real time, receive information on deviations from target values and recommendations for eliminating deficiencies identified during monitoring.

    Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Svyatoslav Sorokin held a meeting on the development of the territory of the special economic zone (SEZ) “Avangard” during a working visit to Omsk Oblast.

    To date, 11 residents have registered in the SEZ, who have already invested 5.7 billion rubles and created 108 jobs.

    The plans for the development of the SEZ include the placement of new investment projects. The key project will be the construction of a tire plant of JSC Avangard (part of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company, UMMC). The total investment in the project will amount to 41.5 billion rubles. The start of production is scheduled for the first quarter of 2028. The enterprise will produce up to 10.5 thousand extra-large tires per year – for quarry equipment, dump trucks and heavy machines operating in the mining industry. Each such tire is designed for a load of over 20 tons. The products are oriented, among other things, to the needs of Kuzbass and the Far East. About half of the volume will be consumed within UMMC’s own contour, which ensures guaranteed demand.

    It was noted at the meeting that in order to continue working to attract investment to the SEZ territory, it is necessary to carry out measures to develop water supply and sanitation networks, the estimated cost of which is 3.044 billion rubles. The possibility of financing was announced by Svyatoslav Sorokin through the mechanism of providing the region with a treasury infrastructure loan. Following the meeting, the Government of Omsk Region sent a corresponding application to the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia.

    “Development of the territory of the SEZ “Avangard” opens up opportunities for the placement of new high-tech production facilities. The company’s tire plant project is a large-scale investment initiative with an import-substituting effect and a significant contribution to the regional budget. Such projects form a new industrial profile of the Omsk Region,” said Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Svyatoslav Sorokin.

    SEZ “Avangard” was created in December 2020 on the territory of Omsk. The total area is 165 hectares, of which 116 are intended for the placement of residents, 73% have already been leased or owned.

    Vitaly Savelyev at a meeting on the development of checkpoints across the state border.

    At a meeting on the development of checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation, the results of the movement of goods and freight vehicles on the main sections of the border were summed up.

    The positive dynamics of freight vehicle traffic through automobile checkpoints is sustainable. Thus, the number of freight vehicles that passed through automobile checkpoints located on priority sections of the state border has increased by almost 70% over the past seven years and reached more than 6.5 million units in 2024.

    At checkpoints on the Russian-Chinese section of the state border, the growth was almost 130% (from 229 thousand to 523 thousand units). In turn, the volume of transported goods increased by 34% and reached 46 million tons by the end of 2024.

    High dynamics are also maintained in the movement of freight vehicles at checkpoints on the Russian-Mongolian section: 65% of the 2018 level, an increase from 34 thousand units in 2018 to 56 thousand units in 2024.

    High rates are also observed on the Russian-Azerbaijani, Russian-Kazakh, and Russian-Georgian sections of the state border.

    As part of the implementation of the order of the President of Russia to reduce the inspection time of freight vehicles to 10 minutes, the implementation of a pilot project at the Tagirkent-Kazmalyar automobile checkpoint on the Russian-Azerbaijani border continues. Thanks to the elimination of paperwork, the introduction of an intelligent checkpoint system and equipping the site with modern portal inspection and screening systems, the inspection time in test mode was just over 9 minutes.

    By 2030, the implemented solutions will be scaled up to 55 priority checkpoints.

    In implementing the plans of the “road map” for the introduction of smart checkpoints, the Russian Government is working closely with state control bodies: the Border Service of the FSB of Russia, the Federal Customs Service of Russia, Rosselkhoznadzor, and Rospotrebnadzor.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: US media “fueling” rhetoric about China’s “theft of intellectual property” — Chinese ambassador to Russia

    Moscow, July 9 /Xinhua/ — In recent days, some American politicians and media outlets have once again “heated up” the hackneyed rhetoric about “intellectual property theft” and “forced technology transfer” by China. These accusations not only represent a malicious distortion of Sino-American trade and economic relations, but have also become an ideological tool for the United States to promote trade protectionism, according to an article by Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui published in the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper.

    “The thesis of ‘China’s theft of intellectual property’, which is being inflated by the American side, is essentially a manifestation of arrogance and prejudice, namely the theory of ‘racial superiority in technology,’” the ambassador writes. “The United States considers itself exceptional and technologically superior to the rest of the world, looks down on everyone and claims that China is allegedly incapable of independent breakthroughs in key technologies, and, ignoring the facts, fabricates accusations. It is noteworthy that such American technology giants as Apple, Google and Amazon, clearly stated during hearings in the US Congress that there is no evidence of China stealing technology from American companies.”

    According to the ambassador, China’s technological progress is “a breakthrough through the blockade as a result of hard work in independent development.” In terms of investment in research and development (R&D), China confidently ranks second in the world. China is one of the world leaders in such areas as 5G, high-speed rail, renewable energy and unmanned aerial vehicles. The country is making a successful transition from the largest importer of intellectual property to its creator and largest exporter.

    “China has become the first country in the world to have more than 4 million patents in force domestically, with high-quality patents accounting for 41.5 percent. In 2024, the number of international patent applications under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) exceeded 70,000, ranking China first in the world for the sixth consecutive year,” Zhang Hanhui wrote.

    As he points out, the thesis spread by the American side about the alleged “unfair protection of intellectual property” in China actually aims to incite discord and hinder the influx of foreign investment into the Chinese market. In recent years, China has been continuously improving its legal system in the field of intellectual property. There are 30 arbitration courts for intellectual property, 115 national centers for the protection of intellectual property and rapid response centers operating throughout the country. Foreign companies have already effectively “put forward a vote of confidence” through their practical actions.

    The Chinese diplomat cites the following data: in 2024, Apple’s R&D investment in China increased by 22 percent, Pfizer established three research centers in Shanghai, Wuhan and Beijing. Medtronic opened its first digital health innovation base in China. “The accelerated establishment of research centers in China by foreign companies demonstrates the effectiveness of efforts in the field of intellectual property protection,” Zhang Hanhui emphasizes.

    The claims about “forced technology transfer” are a substitution of concepts, the article points out. The American side is trying to present the fact of mutually beneficial cooperation between Chinese and foreign companies as “forced technology transfer.”

    “It must be clearly emphasized: ‘forced technology transfer’ not only does not comply with Chinese law, but also directly contradicts the country’s basic state policy of openness to the outside world,” the Chinese ambassador writes.

    According to him, China has been steadily promoting opening up to the outside world at a high level: the negative list for foreign investment has been significantly shortened, restrictions in the manufacturing sector have been completely abolished, and restrictions on foreign capital participation have been continuously relaxed. These measures have greatly expanded the freedom and choice for foreign companies to invest in China.

    “Meanwhile, the US is forcing three major South Korean battery manufacturers that invest in the US to disclose key technologies, forcing ByteDance to sell TikTok and hand over its operating algorithms — these are true examples of forced technology transfer and outright robbery,” notes Zhang Hanhui –0–

    Moscow, July 9 /Xinhua/ — The 9th China-Russia EXPO, which opened in Yekaterinburg, has already become a calling card of bilateral relations, said Zhang Hanhui, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Russia.

    “The EXPO has become a bright calling card of bilateral relations, an important ‘window’ for demonstrating interregional cooperation and has received high praise from the leaders and all layers of society of the two countries,” he noted in an interview published on Wednesday in Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

    According to the ambassador, since the first exhibition was held in 2014, the China-Russia EXPO has already been successfully held nine times. In total, about 10,000 Chinese and Russian companies, as well as 1.05 million entrepreneurs, took part in the previous exhibitions. The total amount of agreements concluded reached almost 500 billion yuan.

    “Within the framework of the EXPO, a number of cooperation results were obtained that have a broad impact and demonstration value. It can be said that the EXPO has become a “big stage” for the development of practical cooperation between the two countries,” the Chinese diplomat stated.

    Zhang Hanhui pointed out the symbolic significance of the 9th China-Russia EXPO. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. In May, Chinese President Xi Jinping successfully made a state visit to Russia and took part in the relevant commemorative events. “Holding the EXPO is an important practical measure to implement the agreements between the leaders of the two countries,” the ambassador emphasized.

    “Against the backdrop of China and Russia’s joint efforts to promote the construction of an open world economy and bring certainty and stability to global trade, the 9th China-Russia Expo will greatly boost the confidence of regions and enterprises of the two countries in cooperation and promote the high-quality development of bilateral trade and economic relations,” Zhang Hanhui noted.

    The focus on regions and the holding of the 5th China-Russia Forum on Interregional Cooperation is an important feature of this year’s EXPO, he believes. More than 300 enterprises from 18 provinces, municipalities directly under the central government and autonomous regions of China are participating in this year’s EXPO.

    According to the diplomat, the planning and design of the exposition and business events of the current EXPO fully reflect the new features and trends of Chinese-Russian trade and economic cooperation. “The exhibits will cover both traditional areas /mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, agriculture/ and new areas /medicine, digital economy, new energy/,” Zhang Hanhui said. –0–

    Moscow, July 9 /Xinhua/ — Russia and China’s interaction within the BRICS framework is constructive in nature and is aimed at resolving issues of developing countries, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said at a briefing on Wednesday, answering a question from a Xinhua correspondent about US President Donald Trump’s threats against countries supporting BRICS.

    “The cooperation between Russia and China, both in BRICS and in general, is not directed against anyone. I would like to emphasize that our cooperation – between Russia and China – is of a constructive nature, it is aimed at strengthening the socio-economic, innovative and human potential of its participants, as well as at supporting the solution of real pressing problems and issues of developing countries,” she said, commenting on the results of the 17th meeting of the BRICS leaders that recently ended in Rio de Janeiro.

    As M. Zakharova noted, the activities of the association are of keen interest, including among Western countries, for whom BRICS has become a “red rag”. “Not because we want to anger anyone, but because they themselves were initially aggressively inclined and, apparently, realized that their aggressive attitude was not justified. We have something to respond to. We are strong, and we have demonstrated this strength, but not in aggression, but in a constructive, creative approach,” the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized.

    She recalled that Russia and China stood at the origins of BRICS and made an important contribution to its development and the creation of favorable conditions for the progressive sustainable economic growth of all states of the association, as well as the formation of a more just and balanced multipolar world order that would meet the needs of all countries and peoples without exception.

    The Russian diplomat added that in matters of further expansion of bilateral cooperation within the BRICS framework, Russia and China are looking in the same direction and are ready to overcome all challenges shoulder to shoulder.

    “We are focused on joint consistent work with Beijing to strengthen the authority of the association as one of the core mechanisms of global governance. Among the main tasks, of course, we see an increase in the role of developing countries and emerging market countries in multilateral institutions,” M. Zakharova specified, noting that in the context of a radical transformation of the global geopolitical landscape, Russian-Chinese relations of comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction continue to develop dynamically and demonstrate high adaptability and stress resistance. -0-

    NANNING, July 9 (Xinhua) — Dou Wangui, a former Party member and vice chairman of the CPPCC (Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference) Committee of northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve on Wednesday for accepting bribery.

    Dou Wangui was also stripped of his political rights for life and all his personal property was to be confiscated.

    Dou Wangui was sentenced by the Second People’s Court of Liuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, south China. The investigation against him began in March 2024 and he was arrested in October of the same year.

    The court found that between 2003 and 2022, Dou Wangui, while holding various leadership positions in Xinjiang, used his authority to benefit relevant entities and individuals by providing them with “favors” in matters related to contracting, mining, corporate business operations and career advancement, and received in return money and material goods totaling 229 million yuan (about $32 million).

    By his actions, Dou Wangui caused serious damage to the interests of the state and the people, but the court recognized his admission of guilt and repentance, as well as the return of illegally obtained income, as mitigating circumstances, follows from the court ruling. -0-
