    BEIJING, June 30 (Xinhua) — The “China-Central Asia Spirit” not only reflects the consensus reached by China and Central Asian countries during long-term cooperation, but also demonstrates their firm determination to deepen cooperation for common development, said Sun Zhuangzhi, director of the Institute of Russia, East Europe and Central Asia at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS).

    On May 17, the 2nd China-Central Asia Summit was held in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, where the “China-Central Asia Spirit” was put forward, characterized by mutual respect, mutual trust, mutual benefit, mutual assistance and the promotion of joint modernization through high-quality development.

    Sun Zhuangzhi noted that since the establishment of diplomatic relations for more than 30 years, China and the Central Asian countries have always adhered to the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit in various areas of cooperation. And the introduction of the “China-Central Asia Spirit” came at the most opportune moment. It not only summarizes the experience of developing relations between China and the countries of the region, but also sets guidelines for future cooperation.

    Sun Zhuangzhi stressed that advancing joint modernization through high-quality development is a key component of the “China-Central Asia Spirit” and the common goal of long-term cooperation between the two sides.

    “It sets a clear path for building a community of shared destiny for China and Central Asia, embodying genuine mutual benefit and common gain,” he said, adding that this is a path of sustainable development that is fundamentally different from the Western traditional model of modernization.

    According to him, China and the Central Asian states are currently experiencing a key period of development and revival. And the desire for national revival and modernization coincides between the parties.

    Sun Zhuangzhi also pointed out that against the backdrop of the acceleration of tectonic processes of global transformation unseen in a century, the advancement of the “China-Central Asia Spirit” has practical significance and is of contemporary value.

    He stressed that the “China-Central Asia Spirit”, which is a “stabilizer” and “compass” in the development of relations between the two sides, helps overcome external interference and uncertainties.

    “Especially in recent years, amid geopolitical turbulence, China and Central Asian countries need a unifying concept like the ‘China-Central Asia Spirit’ more than ever. It will open up new horizons for regional cooperation in modernization and bring greater stability and positive energy to the world,” the expert said.

    Deepening the China-Central Asia mechanism and putting forward the China-Central Asia Spirit will also give strong impetus to the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, Sun said.

    “They will stimulate deeper regional cooperation within the framework of this initiative and will bring great benefits for the development of both the region and other countries participating in the initiative,” he concluded. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Artificial Intelligence Is Changing China’s Education Landscape

    BEIJING, June 30 (Xinhua) — Imagine replacing the blackboard with a big screen and students tapping on learning tablets to answer questions instead of writing answers with pencils. Artificial intelligence (AI) is making this a reality, offering Chinese students new learning methods and narrowing the digital divide between urban and rural areas.

    At a middle school in Guiyang City, capital of Guizhou Province, southwest China, English teacher Zeng Xing discovered that AI had changed the game thanks to an intelligent classroom system developed by Chinese AI giant iFlytek.

    Zeng Xing assigns exercises to his students using the classroom learning tablets, and students can instantly submit their answers via their personal learning tablets. At the same time, each student’s detailed answers are displayed on the large screen at the front of the classroom.

    By analyzing the results using AI and big data, the system allows Zeng Xing to provide personalized instructions tailored to the specific needs of each student.

    “We can now quickly identify students’ weaknesses and tailor curriculum accordingly, which is much more effective than before,” she said.

    The intelligent classroom system also allows students to improve their speaking skills through personalized interactive dialogues based on a large database of English movies, news, and poetry. The AI can evaluate students’ pronunciation and provide feedback, helping them speak more accurately and confidently.

    “AI has created opportunities for basic education in remote areas like Guizhou,” said Huang Hui, principal of a middle school in Guizhou province, where difficult terrain and complicated transportation systems limit educational resources.

    AI-based tools play a very important role in bridging the educational gap between urban and rural areas by expanding learning resources and improving accessibility, Huang Hui added.

    In addition to enhancing classroom learning, AI also enriches students’ extracurricular activities.

    At Tsinghua University Elementary School, students are using AI to exercise during breaks. With a wave of their hand, they can activate intelligent exercise equipment to track the duration and frequency of their exercise.

    Beyond basic education, AI is also having a significant impact on higher education. As China’s DeepSeek AI assistant gains popularity, many colleges and universities have announced that they will integrate it into their backend systems.

    Colleges and universities, as innovation hubs and talent incubators, should actively introduce new technologies and take a leading role, said Wang Lei, a professor at Beijing Normal University’s School of Public Administration.

    “When conducting scientific research, tasks such as project design, massive data collection, and literature review are time-consuming,” says Qian Minghui, a researcher at Renmin University of China. “Using DeepSeek with a special document database can greatly improve efficiency. It acts as a research assistant and can even help conduct research and identify the right scientific and technical team.”

    The expected technological revolution will open up great opportunities for education, Chinese Education Minister Huai Jinpeng told Xinhua News Agency on the sidelines of the annual session of the National People’s Congress.

    He said that in 2025, China will release a white paper on AI education to help students improve their literacy and develop the skills needed in the digital age and artificial intelligence.

    Starting from the upcoming fall semester, Beijing’s primary and middle schools will offer students at least eight hours of AI training per school year to cultivate future-oriented and innovative talents.

    Despite the benefits of AI in transforming education, it also raises concerns about data security, privacy, and academic integrity.

    “It is imperative that we develop policies on the use of artificial intelligence, strengthen technology supervision and ethics training for teachers and students,” said Tan Liang, deputy director of the information center at the Beijing Academy of Educational Sciences. -0-

    OTTAWA, June 29 (Xinhua) — Canada will scrap its digital services tax pending a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade deal with the United States, Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said Sunday.

    Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and US President Donald Trump have agreed to resume talks with the goal of completing a deal by July 21, according to the Treasury Department.

    F-F. Champagne will soon introduce a bill to repeal the Digital Services Tax Act, the department said in a statement.

    M. Carney called the negotiations “difficult,” commenting on D. Trump’s statement about ending all trade negotiations with Canada and considering the possibility of introducing new tariffs.

    “We will continue to engage in these difficult negotiations in the best interests of Canadians,” Mr. Carney told local media.

    D. Trump said the United States is ending negotiations in response to Canada’s planned digital services tax on American tech companies.

    The American leader called the tax a “direct and blatant attack” on the United States.

    The tax, which was set to go into effect Monday, would have levied three percent of revenue from Canadian users on U.S. companies such as Amazon, Google and Meta. –0–

    Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    On June 26, the first meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University named after B.N. Yeltsin was held in Bishkek. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University took part in it. The Council, formed in the spring of 2025, is called upon to promote the development of KRSU. The meeting was chaired by Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic, Chairman of the State Committee for National Security Kamchybek Tashiev, who was elected Chairman of the Board of Trustees of KRSU.

    In his speech, he emphasized the strategic importance of the university for training highly qualified personnel who will contribute to the development of Kyrgyzstan.

    KRSU is the flagship of higher education in our country. We must pay special attention to the quality of students’ training, because they will be the ones who will manage various sectors of the economy and state institutions in the future, Kamchybek Tashiev noted.

    The Board of Trustees includes 16 representatives of government agencies, academic, public and commercial organizations, industrial enterprises of Kyrgyzstan and Russia. Among the Russian members of the Board of Trustees of KRSU are the First Deputy Chairman of the Committee of the State Duma of the Russian Federation on Education, Chairman of the Council of ANO “Eurasia” Alena Arshinova, Managing Director for New Technologies and Projects of the Rostec State Corporation Maxim Nagaitsev, Rector of the St. Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University Dmitry Ivanov, Director of JSC “Petersburg Tractor Plant” Sergey Serebryakov. The Polytechnic University was represented by the Rector, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy. All members of the Board of Trustees of KRSU were unanimous in their assessment of the importance of creating a single educational space of Russia and Kyrgyzstan and the flagship role of KRSU in this integration process.

    The key topic of discussion was the KRSU development strategy until 2030 and the long-term vision until 2040. Acting Rector of the University Sergey Volkov presented a plan for the transformation of the university, including the creation of engineering and technical, biomedical and socio-humanitarian clusters. Particular attention is paid to the training of specialists in the field of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, robotics and nuclear medicine. SPbPU, as a curator university, will assist in updating educational programs and developing a research base.

    An important event was the approval of the project for the construction of a new campus of KRSU for 15,000 students. A land plot of 30 hectares has already been allocated near the state residence “Ala-Archa”. The construction is financed by the Russian Federation, and the design will begin immediately after the signing of the intergovernmental agreement.

    Another initiative was the creation of the KRSU Endowment Fund, the first in the Kyrgyz Republic. The fund will accumulate donations and direct investment income to support students, scientific grants and infrastructure development. Members of the board of trustees, including representatives of Gazprom and Rostec, expressed their willingness to participate in its formation.

    The meeting raised issues of combating corruption in universities, expanding the network of regional colleges of KRSU and developing bilingual education programs. Kamchybek Tashiev called for strengthening efforts to preserve the Russian language in the educational space of Kyrgyzstan.

    The Russian language is not only a communication tool, but also a key to advanced knowledge. We must resist attempts to displace it, he stressed.

    The meeting ended with agreements on further cooperation. Russian universities, including SPbPU, will provide expert and methodological support to KRSU, and industrial partners will assist in the employment of graduates.

    I am confident that the combined efforts will allow KRSU to become not only the leading university in Kyrgyzstan, but also one of the leaders in education in Central Asia, summed up Igor Maslov, Head of the Russian Presidential Administration for Interregional and Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries.

    On June 27, a meeting of the Governing Council of KRSU was held. It was chaired by Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation Konstantin Mogilevsky. At the meeting, Sergey Volkov was unanimously elected as the rector of KRSU for 5 years. The Polytechnic University congratulates Sergey Volkov on his appointment to the position and wishes him success in implementing the ambitious development tasks of the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University.

    TEHRAN, June 30 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi Abbas on Sunday called on the UN Security Council to recognize Israel and the United States as the initiators of “aggression” against Iran.

    In a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and UN Security Council President Caroline Rodriguez-Birkett, A. Araghchi called on the Council to shoulder its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security, the official IRNA news agency reported.

    He accused Israel of deliberately targeting residential buildings, civilians and civilian infrastructure, calling the attacks a “flagrant violation” of the UN Charter and a “flagrant breach” of international law.

    A. Araghchi said that Israel and the United States also struck Iran’s nuclear facilities protected by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is a “gross violation of the UN Charter, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and IAEA documents and resolutions.”

    Iran’s Foreign Minister stressed that the UN Security Council must hold the “aggressors” accountable and take measures to prevent the repetition of such “crimes.”

    On June 13, Israel launched major airstrikes on several areas of Iran. Iran responded with several waves of missiles and drones targeting Israel.

    On June 22, the United States bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities. In response, Iran struck the American Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

    On June 24, after 12 days of fighting, a ceasefire was reached between Iran and Israel. –0–

    MINSK, June 30 /Xinhua/ — The experience and wisdom of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in building a socially oriented state and socialism with Chinese characteristics serve as a beacon for other countries and peoples, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Belarus (CC CPB) Sergei Syrankov said in an interview with a Xinhua correspondent in Minsk the other day.

    According to him, the CPC has shown the world by its example that the ideas of socialism can be successfully implemented in the state. “The focus on increasing the well-being of the masses instead of elite groups gives a colossal result for the state and society. Now the ideas of socialism with Chinese characteristics are in great demand in other countries. The experience and wisdom of the CPC in terms of building a socially oriented state and socialism with Chinese characteristics act as a beacon for other countries and peoples. China shows how to fight for its freedoms and how to become stronger on the path to building global socialism,” noted S. Syrankov.

    He noted that thanks to the CPC, the Chinese people have achieved outstanding results in the economy, finance, science, technology, culture, and art. “We see how China’s infrastructure is developing by leaps and bounds: high-speed highways and roads are being built, and construction complexes of any complexity are being quickly erected. All of this has become possible only thanks to the CPC’s focus on serving the people. In fact, we see that China’s wealth is not in the hands of some oligarchic elite or Western corporations, but is working for the benefit of the people,” the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Belarus emphasized.

    S. Syrankov especially noted that thanks to the CPC, the people of China became free and independent. “It was the CPC that directed the Chinese people to the great struggle against imperialism. And now, after 104 years, we see that only the strength of spirit and wisdom of the CPC allow us to successfully overcome all the difficult moments in relations with the United States and other Western countries focused on unfair competition, sanctions, pressure, intimidation, and wars,” he said.

    In addition, S. Syrankov emphasized that it was the Chairman of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping who carried out economic reforms under the slogan “Chinese Dream”, which contributed to the high rates of economic growth of the country and an increase in the well-being of the nation.

    “The Chairman of the PRC Xi Jinping is a leader who acts exclusively in the interests of the Chinese people. He understands and feels the needs of ordinary Chinese citizens and is focused on maximizing their well-being. He is demanding of himself and his subordinates, does not allow weaknesses and is focused on constant self-discipline. It is precisely these approaches that allow the Chairman of the PRC to receive recognition, love and support from the masses of China,” S. Syrankov emphasized.

    He also drew attention to the fact that relations between China and Belarus are at the highest level – all-weather and comprehensive strategic partnership. This became possible due to the high level of trust that has formed between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

    “Trust determines the development of all areas of our relations: economy, trade, culture, art, security. It is worth noting that the visit of the President of Belarus to China in early June 2025 outlined the further vector of development of our relations. Among them are the deepening of scientific and technological cooperation, the involvement of Belarusian enterprises in complex production processes of Chinese companies. We also see further deepening of cooperation between the two countries not only in the sphere of economy, science, but also in inter-party interaction,” summed up S. Syrankov. -0-

    BEIJING, June 30 (Xinhua) — China’s manufacturing sector picked up momentum in June as more industries returned to growth and high-tech and consumer goods output remained robust, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed Monday.

    According to the department, the purchasing managers’ index (PMI) in the manufacturing sector of China in June was 49.7, compared with 49.5 in May and 49 in April.

    Of the 21 industries surveyed, 11 saw expansion in June, compared with 7 in May.

    The PMI index for equipment manufacturers, high-tech products and consumer goods manufacturers was 51.4, 50.9 and 50.4, respectively, remaining in the positive zone for the second month in a row.

    As is known, a PMI above 50 indicates expansion of the sector, while below 50 indicates contraction.

    The GSU data also showed that China’s non-manufacturing PMI in June was 50.5, up 0.2 percentage points from May. The overall PMI thus rose from 50.4 to 50.7. The rise in all three key indicators suggests that China’s overall economic climate is improving further, said Zhao Qinghe, a statistician at the department. -0-

  • MIL-OSI Russia: NSU will be the first in Russia to conduct pharmacological research using accelerator mass spectrometry

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University –

    A new research area, Innovative Biomaterials and Methods of Their Research, is being opened at the NSU-NNC Collective Use Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry. The work will be carried out within the framework of the strategic project, Center for the Integration of Personalized Biomedicine, Pharmacy, and Synchrotron Binary Technologies, which received support from the Priority 2030 state program.

    For the first time in Russia, the method of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) will be used to study the pharmacokinetics of peptides, hemostatic composites and structural analysis of fossil tissues. The long-term result of the project will be the creation of a standardized approach to assessing the transdermal delivery of peptides, accelerating the development of new therapeutic agents and increasing the accuracy of predicting their clinical effectiveness, creating and introducing new synthetic functional materials for medical use, such as hemostatic materials and selective hemosorbents. Previously, this high-tech research method was used mainly for radiocarbon dating of archaeological finds, geological objects and paleontological samples.

    Accelerative masses of spectrometry (UMS) – a supers -sensitive method of absolute measurement of isotopic relations, based on the calculation of single atoms. Of greatest interest for medical research are the capabilities of the UMS in the registration of radioglerod-S-14. The accuracy of the method is so high that it allows you to carry out reliable measurements of the concentration of the S-14 isotope with its share of 1E-15 from the total carbon content. The unsurpassed sensitivity of the UMS gives a number of advantages, such as a small amount of test for analysis and the possibility of analyzing a carbon -containing sample located in any aggregate state. Therefore, for UMS-analysis in the simplest performance, about 2-4 mg of dry matter, 10 mg of a sample of biological tissues and less than 50 μl of fluid will be required. Due to the extremely small content of the radiocarod in the biosphere, the isotopic ratio of the S-14/S-12 is 1E-12-the radioactivity of the laid drugs necessary for accurate registration by the UMS method is several times less than the natural level of radiation. This allows you to safely conduct multiple studies, including involving children as subjects, which is very important when developing children’s forms of drugs due to significant differences in metabolism in adults and children. Currently, the world has accumulated a large array of data on the use of UMS in clinical studies of drugs to select personalized assistance to cancer patients, new drugs developed with the use of UMS are received on the market.

    There are about 200 UMS installations in the world, and about 30 large UMS centers with two or more installations. In Russia, there is only one such center — the UMS Center of Collective Use of the NSU-NNC, which has two accelerator mass spectrometers — the first domestic high-voltage one, developed by scientists from the G.I. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences 15 years ago, and a low-voltage MICADAS, manufactured in Switzerland. The center conducts research, most of which is aimed at radiocarbon dating of various objects, for customers from all over Russia, as well as from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, North Korea, Transnistria, etc. Most of the customers are scientific organizations, research institutes, and universities.

    — Our UMS center is registered in the international database of radiocarbon laboratories as “AMS Golden Valley” and successfully passed GIRI certification in 2022. Over the years of our work, we have conducted more than 10 thousand UMS analyses, with the measurement results published more than 80 scientific articles, including in the Nature publishing group, and annually fulfilled more than 40 contracts for UMS measurements. There is a scientific reserve for introducing a radiocarbon label into organic compounds (styrene) and materials (polymer nano- and microspheres), into the composition of the viral membrane, as well as for studying the distribution of toxic substances and the penetrating ability of aerosol particles in organs, — says Ekaterina Parkhomchuk, Director of the UMS Center of Collective Use at NSU-NNC.

    The new direction of research work implies active participation of students and young scientists willing to do scientific work in this field. Students will be involved in sample preparation procedures, as well as in studying hemostatics. Young scientists will work in a single team with experienced researchers and experts in the field of UMS application.

    — Within the framework of this direction, we intend to orient our UMS installations towards use in the field of biomedicine. For example, to create labeled compounds for medical purposes for the purpose of further studying their distribution and biological action in a living organism. The sensitivity of the UMS method significantly exceeds the capabilities of other methods for determining isotopic ratios. Such studies are rare and complex, and no one else conducts them in Russia. For example, studying the depth of penetration of a drug through the skin, its effectiveness at various stages of diseases, and routes of elimination from the body. Such work has already been carried out by specialists from our center, and we try to involve students and postgraduates in them, — explained Ekaterina Parkhomchuk.

    It is planned that medical centers, pharmaceutical companies and research institutes will be involved in the cooperation.

    It is already known that one of the first projects will be the assessment of transdermal delivery of peptides – organic substances formed by amino acid chains. The effectiveness of their impact with this route of delivery to the body has not been fully studied due to the lack of reliable methods for studying this process. UMS research can fill the gap and provide an answer to this question.

    Along with projects in the field of pharmacology and innovative medicine, the research staff of the NSU-NNC UMS Collective Use Center will continue to work on radiocarbon dating of archaeological and paleontological materials in the same volume, since the need for these studies among scientists of many specialties – archaeologists, soil scientists, paleontologists and geologists – remains very high.

    On June 28, festive events dedicated to Youth Day are held throughout the country. Youth movements, public organizations and leading Russian companies present their projects and programs with opportunities for young people.

    The youth of Perm and Omsk were greeted by the First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia Sergei Kiriyenko, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko, Governor of Perm Krai Dmitry Makhonin, Governor of Omsk Oblast Vitaly Khotsenko, as well as representatives of the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs and the Movement of the First.

    First Deputy Chief of the Presidential Administration Sergei Kiriyenko congratulated the youth of both capitals.

    “This year, Russia has two youth capitals. I congratulate you! You are great! You are capable of doing the impossible. You are the future of Russia. Today, all opportunities are open to you thanks to the decisions of Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Russia is a country of opportunities,” said Sergei Kiriyenko.

    Addressing the youth of the two youth capitals and all of Russia, the Deputy Prime Minister noted: “Happy Youth Day! Now I will say a phrase that every Perm resident knows: in Perm, everything is real! President Vladimir Putin has just opened new youth centers in the regions of the country via video link. Here in Perm, four youth centers have already opened, and by the end of the year there will be three more, where you can realize your talents, your opportunities, become volunteers, create and try. Bon voyage!”

    Dmitry Chernyshenko took part in the opening of new youth centers in the regions of the country via video link, which was held by President Vladimir Putin. Five new youth centers and the first creative village of Russia “Schastlivtsevo” – the space of the art cluster “Tavrida” (a project of Rosmolodezh) in the Kherson region were opened.

    “We proudly bear the title of youth capital this year. I wish for all of us that everything in this city would be real!” – said Governor Dmitry Makhonin.

    Let us recall that Perm, as the youth capital of Russia 2024, became one of the central venues for the Youth Day celebration. The program spanned several days, from June 25 to 29, and included dozens of events.

    Also, as part of a working visit to Perm, the Deputy Prime Minister assessed the “Weapons of Victory” exhibition and met with leaders of Perm youth organizations. The meeting took place at the site of the A. Shpagin plant: during the Great Patriotic War, young Perm residents helped repair armored trains for the front at this place.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized the importance of their role as leaders, leading tens and hundreds of young people. He noted that there are about 37 million young people in Russia, and it is important that they feel supported.

    In addition, Dmitry Chernyshenko and Dmitry Makhonin greeted the participants of the festive events dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Ural-Great club.

    They thanked the veterans of the Ural-Great club and the current players of the Parma team.

    “I congratulate the basketball capital of Russia on the 30th anniversary of the legendary club Ural-Great! A huge thank you to everyone who created, supported and developed this club, a true champion in every sense – both in Russia and in Europe. Special words of gratitude to those who created excellent conditions for our youth to play basketball. And on the eve of the 30th anniversary, we witnessed the creation of a magnificent infrastructure. I am sure that Ural-Great will have a bright and victorious future for many years to come! Happy holiday to everyone,” the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

    “I am glad that many young guys, looking at you, are involved in sports. Their parents support them. And only thanks to this joint work can we rightfully be considered the basketball capital of the country. I wish you success,” the governor said.

    Let us recall that in 1995, Sergei Kushchenko created the Ural-Great club on the basis of the student team “Polytechnic”. In six years, the team went through the path to great victories: it won the status of two-time champion of Russia in basketball and became the first club, besides CSKA, to conquer this title.
