Here are the key reports and articles from the People’s Daily’s edition on Wednesday, November 26, 2025.
Page 1: The lead report today is about Xi Jinping meeting with King Tupou VI of Tonga. The Chinese readout says:
Xi “noted that China and Tonga are true friends who have stood together through thick and thin, and the two countries enjoy a time-honored friendship. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the two sides have always respected each other, treated each other as equals, and firmly supported each other on issues involving their respective core interests and major concerns. Practical cooperation has yielded fruitful results, and the comprehensive strategic partnership has continued to deepen. Together, the two countries have set a fine example of friendship and cooperation between countries different in social system and size. No matter how the international landscape evolves, China will always be a good partner that Tonga can trust, and always support Tonga in upholding independence and sovereignty. China will work with Tonga to forge greater synergy between their development strategies, expand cooperation in such areas as trade and investment, agriculture and fisheries, infrastructure, clean energy, medical and health care, tourism, and climate response; increase exchanges in such areas as education, sports, youth and media and at subnational levels; and continue to support Tonga’s economic and social development under the framework of South-South cooperation. China welcomes visits by Tongans from various sectors of society to exchange experience in governance and development and gain a fuller understanding of China.
President Xi Jinping underscored that the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China set out a top-level, strategic design for China’s economic and social development in the next five years. China will pursue high-quality development as the main focus, further deepen reform comprehensively, expand high-standard opening up, and share development opportunities with all other countries. China has put forward the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative, with a view to encouraging all countries to work together for development and share peace together. China is ready to work with Tonga to implement the four major Global Initiatives, so as to create a better life for the people of both countries, foster a China-Pacific Island Countries community with a shared future, and contribute to the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.”
As per the readout, King Tupou VI “expressed appreciation for China’s long-standing, selfless assistance for Tonga’s economic and social development.” He said that Tonga “firmly upholds the one-China principle, resolutely opposes any form of ‘Taiwan independence’, and steadfastly supports the Chinese government in realizing national reunification.” He added that “Tonga congratulates China on its great achievements under the leadership of President Xi, and hopes to learn from the CPC’s success in state governance. Tonga supports the four major Global Initiatives proposed by President Xi, and will enhance communication and collaboration with China to jointly address global challenges such as climate change.”
They signed deals covering areas like economy and trade, medical care, education, and development. The two sides issued a joint statement too.
Next, there’s a report (English report) on Xi sending a congratulatory message to the 7th China-Russia Energy Business Forum in Beijing. Xi said that China-Russia energy cooperation “serves as a model of mutually beneficial cooperation between the two sides, playing a positive role in promoting the economic and social development of both countries and the well-being of the two peoples.” He added that “China is willing to cooperate with Russia to continuously consolidate the comprehensive energy partnership and jointly safeguard the stability and smooth flow of global energy industrial and supply chains. He expressed China’s readiness to work with Russia to promote the establishment of a more fair, just, balanced and inclusive global energy governance system, and inject greater stability into world energy security and the green and low-carbon transition.”
This forum began with Ding Xuexiang reading out Xi’s message. He also offered three suggestions for China-Russia energy cooperation.
First, strengthen cooperation across the entire energy industrial chain to ensure the safe and stable operation of cross-border energy channels and facilitate smooth energy trade.
Second, enhance cooperation in energy transition and development, actively expand application scenarios, and explore the potential for cooperation in renewable energy and other areas.
Third, strengthen multilateral collaboration to jointly promote the implementation of GGI in the energy sector, injecting more stability and certainty into the global energy market.
一是加强全产业链对接合作,保障能源跨境通道安全稳定运行,确保能源贸易顺畅开展。二是加强能源转型发展合作,积极拓展应用场景,深挖可再生能源等合作潜力。三是加强多边协作,共同推动全球治理倡议在能源领域落地实施,为全球能源市场注入更多稳定性和确定性.
Next, Zhao Leji visited Australia from November 22 to 25. He met with Australia’s Speaker of the Senate Sue Lines, Speaker of the House of Representatives Milton Dick, and Australia’s Governor-General Samantha Mostyn and attended a working breakfast held by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
“When meeting with Mostyn, Zhao said that, under the strategic guidance of Chinese and Australian leaders, relations between the two countries have returned to a stable and positive development track in recent years. The economic advantages of China and Australia are highly complementary, and the foundation for practical cooperation is solid with broad prospects, Zhao said, adding that China is willing to work with Australia to deepen exchanges and cooperation across various fields, and to promote the building of a more mature, stable, and productive comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries. Mostyn said that Australia and China have carried out good cooperation in trade, culture, education and other areas, and bilateral relations have continued to deepen. China will host the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in 2026, which is of great significance for upholding and advancing multilateralism, the governor-general said, adding that Australia looks forward to the success of the meeting. Australia is willing to enhance cooperation with China in areas such as green infrastructure, energy transition, climate change, and the protection of women’s rights, Mostyn said.”
“When taking breakfast with Albanese, Zhao noted that China-Australia relations have turned around, with dialogue and cooperation in various fields restored and restarted, which has been widely welcomed and supported by people from all sectors in both countries. There is no fundamental conflict of interests between China and Australia, Zhao said, pointing out that China has always adhered to the path of peaceful development, pursued high-quality development, and expanded high-level opening-up. China is willing to carry out mutually beneficial cooperation and share development opportunities with all countries, including Australia, he said, adding that it is necessary to consolidate and deepen cooperation in areas such as energy and mineral resources, scientific and technological innovation, digital economy and infrastructure. The Chinese top legislator said that issues related to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xizang, Xinjiang, and the South China Sea concern China’s territorial sovereignty and core interests, and it is hoped that Australia will understand and respect China’s position.”
Next, there’s a feature article discussing the China Society for Promotion of the Guangcai Program, which was established in 1995 to implement the Guangcai Program. This programme was aimed at bringing together private enterprises to support the state’s endeavours on poverty alleviation and common prosperity. The article is interesting because it helps understand one part of the modality for addressing the tertiary distribution element within the common prosperity framework under Xi Jinping.
The article begins by quoting Xi’s comments during the symposium with private enterprises in February this year. Xi had said: “the vast number of private enterprises and entrepreneurs should be filled with entrepreneurial and patriotic passion, continuously elevate their ideals, cultivate a deep sense of national responsibility, and remember the source of wealth and strive for progress”. 习近平总书记在民营企业座谈会上强调,“广大民营企业和民营企业家要满怀创业和报国激情,不断提升理想境界,厚植家国情怀,富而思源、富而思进”. (Xi’s full remarks at that event are translated here.)
The article says that:
“standing at a new starting point, closely aligning with the needs of the times and planning key tasks, the Guangcai Program has taken more solid steps in serving the overall situation of the center, promoting ‘two healths’, and helping achieve common prosperity…Over the past five years, the China Society for Promotion of the Guangcai Program has focused on comprehensive rural revitalization, enriching border areas and people, stabilising and consolidating borders and other major decisions and deployments of the Party and the state, carrying out a series of activities with distinctive themes and vivid forms, guiding the vast number of private enterprises to take initiative and apply precise effort, promoting the concentration of resource elements toward key areas, realizing their own value in serving the overall situation of economic and social development.
The ‘Ten Thousand Enterprises Revitalizing Ten Thousand Villages’ campaign has been deepened. To date, Guangcai Program organizations at all levels, together with the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, have mobilized 235,100 private enterprises to assist 161,900 villages, investing 1.21 trillion yuan and donating a total of 56.4 billion yuan.
The ‘China Guangcai Program in Action’ has been precisely targeted. The ‘Bijie Trip’ in Guizhou facilitated 113 industrial investment projects, and the ‘Tibet Trip’ achieved ‘100 Enterprises Connecting 100 Villages’ pairing … The activities focus on ethnic minority regions and key areas for rural revitalization assistance, guiding the reasonable flow and efficient concentration of private enterprise resource elements toward less developed regions.
The ‘Private Enterprises Entering Border Regions’ initiative has been deepened and expanded. The China Guangcai Association, in coordination with the State Ethnic Affairs Commission and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, has guided private enterprises to actively participate in the modernization construction of border ethnic minority regions, promoting exchanges, communication, and integration among all ethnic groups, cumulatively facilitating 288 signed investment projects with an investment amount of 129.507 billion yuan.”
站在新起点上,紧扣时代需求谋划重点任务,光彩事业在服务中心大局、促进“两个健康”、助力共同富裕上迈出更坚实的步伐...近5年来,中国光彩会聚焦乡村全面振兴、兴边富民、稳边固边等党和国家重大决策部署,开展一系列主题鲜明、形式鲜活的活动,引导广大民营企业主动作为、精准发力,推动资源要素向重点领域聚集,在服务经济社会发展大局中实现自身价值。——“万企兴万村”行动纵深推进。截至目前,各级光彩会会同工商联共组织动员23.51万家民营企业帮扶16.19万个村,投资金额1.21万亿元,捐赠总额564亿元。——“中国光彩事业行”精准发力。贵州“毕节行”活动促成产业招商项目113个,“西藏行”活动实现“百企连百村”结对……活动聚焦民族地区和乡村振兴重点帮扶地区,引导民营企业资源要素向欠发达地区合理流动、高效聚集。——“民营企业进边疆”行动深化拓展。中国光彩会配合国家民委、全国工商联,引导民营企业积极参与边疆民族地区现代化建设,促进各民族交往交流交融,累计促成签约投资项目288个,投资金额1295.07亿元.
The next bit talks about the philanthropic activities under this program. A key point is:
“The China Guangcai Program has reorganised and established the ‘Guangcai 100 Private Enterprise Charity Foundation Alliance,’ inviting 100 key private enterprise foundations to join, allowing private philanthropic efforts to move from ‘single-point breakthroughs’ to ‘systematic integration’. 资源整合让帮扶更强劲有力。中国光彩会改组成立“光彩100民营企业公益基金会联盟”,邀请100家重点民营企业基金会加入,让民营公益力量从“单点突破”迈向“系统集成”.
The article also informs that “Over the past five years, the China Society for Promotion of the Guangcai Program has consistently prioritised ideological and political guidance, integrating it throughout the entire Guangcai Program. The program has continuously strengthened its top-level design and overall planning, guiding the healthy growth of private entrepreneurs.” 近5年来,中国光彩会始终将思想政治引领摆在首位,贯穿光彩事业全过程。光彩事业不断加强顶层设计和总体谋划,引导民营经济人士健康成长.
From issuing ‘Opinions on Deeply Advancing the Innovative Development of the Guangcai Program in the New Era’, to formulating ‘Key Project Plan for the Guangcai Program (2023-2027),’ and then to releasing ‘Reform Action Plan for High-Quality Development of the Guangcai Program in the New Era and New Journey (2025-2035),’ in recent years the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and the China Society for Promotion of the Guangcai Program have continuously improved the institutional mechanisms for promoting innovative development of the Guangcai Program, continuously enhancing the appeal and cohesion of the Guangcai Program. 从印发《关于深入推进新时代光彩事业创新发展的意见》,到制定《光彩事业重点项目规划(2023—2027年)》,再到发布《新时代新征程光彩事业高质量发展改革行动方案(2025—2035年)》,近年来中央统战部、全国工商联、中国光彩会不断完善促进光彩事业创新发展的体制机制,持续提升光彩事业的感召力、凝聚力.
Continuously exerting effort in promoting the healthy growth of people in the private economy, precisely concentrating effort in promoting the healthy development of the private economy, and applying targeted effort in enhancing the pertinence and effectiveness of ideological and political guidance…Over the past five years, the China Society for Promotion of the Guangcai Program together with the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce has organized 39 different types of Guangcai meetings and activities, with nearly 6000 private entrepreneurs participating, ensuring that they are undergoing tempering, elevating their realm in Guangcai practice, and growing together with the Guangcai Program. More than 1,000 members of the younger generation of private-economy figures have been trained, guiding the younger generation to identify with Guangcai ideals, inherit the Guangcai spirit, and devote themselves to the Guangcai Program. The vast majority of private entrepreneurs have continuously strengthened their political, ideological, theoretical, and emotional identification with the Communist Party of China and socialism with Chinese characteristics, becoming more determined to be builders of socialism with Chinese characteristics and promoters of Chinese-style modernisation. 在促进民营经济人士健康成长上持续用力,在促进民营经济健康发展上精准聚力,在增强思想政治引领针对性实效性上靶向发力——近5年来,中国光彩会会同全国工商联共组织各类光彩会议活动39场,民营经济人士近6000人次参加,在光彩实践中经受洗礼、提升境界,与光彩事业共成长;培训年轻一代民营经济人士1000余人次,引导年轻一代认同光彩理念、传承光彩精神、投身光彩事业。广大民营经济人士对中国共产党和中国特色社会主义的政治认同、思想认同、理论认同和情感认同不断增进,更加坚定做中国特色社会主义的建设者、中国式现代化的促进者.
“Bearing firmly in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping’s earnest instructions, the China Society for Promotion of the Guangcai Program must uphold the purpose of promoting common prosperity, focus on the major strategic tasks of economic and social development during the 15th FYP period, guide and drive the broad mass of private-economy figures to deeply cultivate feelings for family and country, carry forward the Guangcai spirit, display the style of struggle, and fulfil social responsibilities, continue writing a new chapter of the Guangcai Program adding glory and splendour to Chinese-style modernisation, and walk well the Guangcai path of the new era,’ said Shen Ying, vice minister of the United Front Work Department in charge of daily work and president of the China Society for Promotion of the Guangcai Program.” “牢记习近平总书记殷殷嘱托,中国光彩会将秉持促进共同富裕宗旨,聚焦‘十五五’时期经济社会发展重大战略任务,引导带动广大民营经济人士厚植家国情怀、弘扬光彩精神、展示奋斗风采、履行社会责任,续写光彩事业为中国式现代化增光添彩新篇章,走好新时代的光彩之路。”中央统战部分管日常工作的副部长、中国光彩会会长沈莹说.
Also on the page is a brief article talking about the successful launch of the Shenzhou-22 spaceship, which has now successfully docked with the space station.
Finally, there’s a report informing that:
In October, China’s total installed power generation capacity nationwide reached 3.75 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 17.3%. Among this, the installed capacity of solar power generation was 1.14 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 43.8%; and the installed capacity of wind power was 590 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 21.4%. From January to October, the newly-added installed power generation capacity nationwide reached 397.84 million kilowatts. This included 8.35 million kilowatts of hydropower, 65.08 million kilowatts of thermal power, 1.53 million kilowatts of nuclear power, 70.01 million kilowatts of wind power, and 252.87 million kilowatts of solar power.
Page 2: There’s a report on Politburo member Li Hongzhong’s visit to Xi’an from November 23 to 25.
“He emphasised the need to adhere to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the guide, deeply understand the decisive significance of the Two Establishments, resolutely achieve the Two Safeguards, thoroughly study and implement the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, uphold the organic unity of Party leadership, the people’s position as masters of the country, and law-based governance, and closely focus on the central tasks of the Party and the state fully leveraging the functions of the people’s congresses and providing legal guarantees for high-quality development. 他强调,要坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导,深刻领悟“两个确立”的决定性意义,坚决做到“两个维护”,深入学习贯彻党的二十届四中全会精神,坚持党的领导、人民当家作主、依法治国有机统一,紧紧围绕党和国家中心任务发挥人大职能作用,为高质量发展提供法治保障.
During the trip, Li visited Xi’an Fast Gaozhi New Technology Co., Ltd., AVIC Xi’an Aircraft Industry Group Company Ltd, and the China Flight Test Establishment (法士特高智新公司、中航工业西飞公司、中国飞行试验研究院) to investigate the intelligent manufacturing of high-end equipment manufacturing, the digital transformation of the aviation manufacturing industry, and the application of major scientific and technological achievements. He also visited Northwestern Polytechnical University to inspect its scientific and technological innovation and talent cultivation efforts. 李鸿忠赴法士特高智新公司、中航工业西飞公司、中国飞行试验研究院,调研高端装备制造业智能制造、航空制造业数智化转型和重大科技成果转化运用等情况,到西北工业大学考察科技创新和人才培养工作.
He pointed out that it is necessary to deeply study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law, focus on building a more complete socialist rule-of-law system with Chinese characteristics and building a higher-level socialist rule-of-law country, strengthen legislation in key areas, emerging areas, and foreign-related areas, place greater emphasis on the coordination of rule of law with reform, development, and stability, and strive to improve the quality of legislation so as to provide strong guarantees for building a modernized industrial system, accelerating high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening, and developing new quality productive forces according to local conditions. 他指出,要深入学习贯彻习近平法治思想,聚焦建设更加完善的中国特色社会主义法治体系、建设更高水平的社会主义法治国家,加强重点领域、新兴领域、涉外领域立法,更加注重法治与改革、发展、稳定相协同,着力提高立法质量,为建设现代化产业体系、加快高水平科技自立自强、因地制宜发展新质生产力提供有力保障.
Another key message from Li was about the need to “use the strictest systems and the strictest rule of law to protect the ecological environment”. He called on everyone to “transform the practical and innovative achievements obtained from implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilisation into laws and regulations, further strengthen the rigidity and authority of the system, implement regulatory and supervisory responsibilities, and truly safeguard the ecological protection red line, thereby deeply cultivating the green foundation of Chinese-style modernisation.” 他强调,要牢固树立和践行绿水青山就是金山银山理念,坚持用最严格制度最严密法治保护生态环境,把践行习近平生态文明思想取得的实践创新成果转化为法律法规,进一步强化制度刚性和权威,落实监管监督责任,切实守护好生态保护红线,厚植中国式现代化的绿色发展底色.
Also on the page is an article offering a summary of the lectures conducted by the PLA’s lecture team on studying and implementing the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee. The report mentions the different conversations and sessions that were held. These are useful to grasp how top-level instructions are passed down the system.
Page 3: There’s a Zhong Sheng article on Japan, continuing the prolonged hissyfit from Beijing over Takaichi’s remarks. From my perspective, this entire episode reeks of a calibrated over-reaction. In a recent piece with my colleague Vanshika Saraf, we argued that:
“Three reasons help explain the ferocity of China’s reaction. First, China wishes to influence the domestic political debate in Japan. With hawkish political figures gaining prominence, China is using this episode to influence the acceptable boundaries of Japan’s Taiwan debate. For instance, commentaries in Chinese media have been arguing that Takaichi’s comments have undermined the ‘political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations’ and urged criticism from ‘people of insight’ in Japan. Meanwhile, economic coercion, seen in the cancellation of half a million Chinese passenger tickets to Japan and a steep drop in tourism shares, sends a message to Japanese voters, businesses, and moderates that confrontation carries real costs. Another example of this is China’s reimposition of the ban on Japanese seafood imports, effectively reversing the progress made over the last year.
Second, the Chinese response is a warning to other nations in the region. This works on two levels. On the one hand, Beijing is arguing that Takaichi’s wish to revive the spirit of Japanese militarism threatens regional countries. On the other hand, by escalating so swiftly and so visibly, China hopes to deter other Indo-Pacific states from taking positions on the Taiwan issue that do not align with Beijing’s agenda. This fits a pattern of Beijing using pretexts to engage in unprecedented escalation to establish new normals.
Third, the reaction plays directly into China’s domestic politics. Given Japan’s historical role in Chinese political memory, anti-Japanese sentiment has always been an easy lightning rod for nationalist mobilisation. In fact, the issue of Japanese militarism has been a significant part of the national discourse throughout the year. The parade to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in September was, in fact, one of the most significant events in China’s political calendar in 2025. With economic growth slowing at home, such nationalistic showdowns help reinforce the Chinese Communist Party’s image as the guardian of sovereignty and national dignity.”
Anyway, here’s the Zhong Sheng article:
While Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae’s erroneous remarks regarding Taiwan have triggered strong criticism domestically and internationally, Japan has made a series of dangerous moves, including its first export of lethal weapons since relaxing arms export restrictions in 2023, the Liberal Democratic Party is also launching discussions to revise the ‘Three Security Documents’, and Japan plans to deploy offensive weapons in the southwestern islands adjacent to China’s Taiwan. All this, further exposes the Japanese side’s political attempt to deviate from the post-war international order. As a defeated nation in World War II, Japan’s above-mentioned moves are an open abandonment of international law obligations, a serious challenge to the post-war order jointly recogniSed by the international community, and will pose a serious threat to peace and stability in Asia and even the world.
‘There must be eliminated for all time the authority and influence of those who have deceived and misled the people of Japan into embarking on world conquest, for we insist that a new order of peace, security and justice will be impossible until irresponsible militarism is driven from the world.’ Eighty years ago, the Potsdam Proclamation made clear that Japanese militarism and its soil must be relentlessly eradicated, that Japan’s right to wage war must be restricted politically, and the roots of Japan’s militarist mentality must be eliminated ideologically, in order to establish a new order of peace, security, and justice. 在日本首相高市早苗涉台错误言论引发国内外强烈批评之际,日本又做出一系列危险举动,包括自2023年放宽武器出口限制后首次出口杀伤性武器、自民党启动讨论修订“安保三文件”、将在与中国台湾邻近的西南诸岛部署进攻性武器等,进一步暴露日方背离战后国际秩序的政治企图。作为二战战败国,日本上述举动是对国际法义务的公然背弃,是对国际社会共同认定的战后秩序的严重挑战,将对亚洲乃至世界和平稳定造成严重威胁。“欺骗及错误领导日本人民使其妄欲征服世界者之权威及势力必须永久铲除,盖吾人坚持非将负责之穷兵黩武主义驱出世界,则和平安全及正义之新秩序势不可能建立。”80年前,《波茨坦公告》明确,必须毫不留情铲除日本军国主义及其土壤,从政治上限制日本战争权,从思想上消除日本战争根源,才能建立和平、安全与正义的新秩序。
A series of international documents, including the UN Charter, the Potsdam Declaration, and the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, clearly stipulated Japan’s obligations as a defeated nation. The ‘right of collective self-defense’ stipulated in the UN Charter was created to safeguard the collective security of the international community and prevent the resurgence of fascist forces. Japan was restricted from exercising this right. The Potsdam Declaration demanded that Japan completely disarm and cease maintaining any industries that could enable its rearmament. The Japanese Instrument of Surrender, which declared the complete defeat of Japanese militarism, promised to ‘faithfully fulfil the obligations of all provisions of the Potsdam Proclamation’. These documents, with international legal force, clearly defined Japan’s international obligations as a defeated nation, forming an important cornerstone of the post-war international order and serving as the political and legal prerequisites for Japan’s return to the international community. 《联合国宪章》、《波茨坦公告》、日本投降书等一系列国际文件,对日本作为战败国的义务作出明确规定。《联合国宪章》规定的“集体自卫权”是为维护国际社会集体安全、防止法西斯势力复活而创设的权利,日本被限制行使这一权利。《波茨坦公告》要求日本完全解除武装,不得维持能使其重新武装的产业。宣告日本军国主义彻底失败的日本投降书承诺“忠诚履行波茨坦公告各项规定之义务”。这些具有国际法效力的文件明确了日本作为战败国应承担的国际义务,构成战后国际秩序的重要基石,也是日本重返国际社会的政治前提和法律前提.
The four China-Japan political documents and Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution are even more important commitments made by Japan to the path of peaceful development. In the Joint Communiqué of the Government of Japan and the Government of the People’s Republic of China, Japan clearly expressed deep reflection on its past war conduct and promised to resolve disputes through peaceful means. The principle of ‘exclusively defense-oriented policy’ established in the Japanese Constitution is an important guarantee for Japan’s postwar adherence to the path of peaceful development. This is a solemn commitment made by Japan to its own people, the Chinese people, and the people of the world, possessing unshakeable seriousness and binding force, and does not allow the slightest ambiguity or retreat. 中日四个政治文件和日本宪法第九条,更是日本对和平发展道路作出的重要承诺。日本在《中日联合声明》中明确表示对过去战争行为的深刻反省,承诺通过和平手段解决争端。日本宪法确立的“专守防卫”原则,是日本战后坚持走和平发展道路的重要保障。这是日本向本国人民、中国人民、世界人民作出的郑重承诺,具有不可动摇的严肃性和约束力,不容丝毫模糊和倒退.
A nation without credibility cannot stand in the world. What is alarming is that Japanese right-wing forces in recent years have frequently challenged these basic principles. From advocating military intervention in the Taiwan Strait to discussing abandoning the ‘Three Non-Nuclear Principles’, from attempting to amend Article 9 of the Constitution to seeking ‘the capability to attack enemy bases’, this series of actions indicates that Japan is deviating from its long-standing post-war path of peaceful development. These actions not only violate international law but also contradict Japan’s own constitutional provisions and political commitments. Various signs indicate that Japan is attempting to break free from the constraints of the Potsdam Proclamation and the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, militarism is being revived in Japan, and Japan’s postwar foundation for existence in the world based on pacifism is being shaken. 国无信无以立世。令人警惕的是,日本右翼势力近年来频频挑战这些基本原则。从鼓吹武力介入台海,到讨论放弃“无核三原则”,从试图修改宪法第九条,到谋求“对敌基地攻击能力”,这一系列动向表明日本正在背离其战后长期坚持的和平发展道路。这些行为不仅违背国际法,更与日本自身的宪法规定和政治承诺相抵触。种种迹象表明,日本正在试图挣脱《波茨坦公告》和日本投降书的束缚,军国主义正在日本死灰复燃,日本战后以和平主义存世的立身之本正在发生动摇.
The international community has already reacted clearly to this. Malaysian scholars criticised Japanese leaders for their erroneous understanding of World War II history; the Russian Foreign Ministry released a video of Japan’s surrender on social media, reminding Japan to learn from history and adhere to the still-valid pacifist clauses in the Japanese Constitution; and the Japanese public and media have also voiced their rational opinions. Japanese citizens rallied in front of the Prime Minister’s official residence to protest, demanding that Prime Minister Takaichi retract her erroneous remarks. An editorial in the Japanese newspaper Tokyo Shimbun pointed out that any short-sighted regime attempting to revise the ‘Three Non-Nuclear Principles’ out of selfish motives is unacceptable. These rational voices serve as a warning to Japan’s right-wing forces and are also aimed at upholding international law and the international order. 国际社会对此已有明确反应。马来西亚学者批评日本领导人对二战历史的错误认知;俄罗斯外交部在社交媒体上发布日本投降视频,提醒日本应汲取历史教训,恪守日本宪法中仍然有效的和平主义条款;日本国内民众和媒体也发出理性声音。日本民众在首相官邸前集会表达抗议,“要求高市首相撤回错误言论”。日本《东京新闻》社论指出,任何短视的政权出于一己之念而试图修改“无核三原则”,都是不可接受的。这些理性声音是对日本右翼势力的警示,也是为了捍卫国际法和国际秩序.
History warns us that any country that fails to grasp its history correctly will struggle to grasp its future. Historical tragedies must never be repeated. Only by drawing lessons from history, abiding by international law and Japan’s own ‘Peace Constitution’, and earning the trust of Asian neighbours and the international community through concrete actions, can Japan be responsible to itself and to the world. The international community has the right and also the responsibility to jointly maintain the international order based on international law and ensure that post-war peace achievements are truly respected. If the Japanese side persists in its course and repeats its mistakes, all countries and peoples who advocate justice have the right to conduct a re-settlement of accounts for Japan’s historical crimes and have the responsibility to resolutely prevent the resurgence of Japanese militarism. 历史警示我们,任何国家若不能正确对待历史,就难以把握未来。历史悲剧决不能重演。日本只有汲取历史教训,恪守国际法和本国“和平宪法”,以实际行动取信于亚洲邻国和国际社会,才是对自己负责、对世界负责。国际社会有权利,也有责任共同维护以国际法为基础的国际秩序,确保战后和平成果得到切实尊重。日方若一意孤行、一错再错,一切主张正义的国家和人民,都有权利对日本的历史罪行进行再清算,都有责任坚决阻止日本军国主义死灰复燃.
Next, there’s a report with comments from Muhammad Malik, executive director of the State Bank of Pakistan, talking about how “Pakistan has established a comprehensive regulatory framework to support the use and investment of the Chinese currency renminbi.” Xinhua reports:
“Malik said the RMB has great potential in Pakistan and is expected to benefit all stakeholders further, noting that the country already has a sound regulatory system in place to facilitate RMB usage and investment. The SBP has rolled out multiple initiatives to promote RMB awareness, strengthen clearing and settlement capacity, and ensure that local enterprises and banks fully understand the advantages of conducting transactions in RMB, he added. In an online address, Zhou Yongkun, head of the Macroprudential Policy Bureau of the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), said RMB receipts and payments for China-Pakistan goods trade reached 19.4 billion yuan (about 2.73 billion U.S. dollars) in 2024, accounting for 23 percent of total cross-border receipts and payments in goods trade during the period. He added that there remains broad room for future growth and that the PBOC will continue to enhance policy support for the RMB clearing bank. Speaking at the event, ICBC Vice President Zhang Weiwu said the bank has opened RMB accounts for all 22 mainstream Pakistani banks authorized for foreign exchange operations, noting that RMB business in Pakistan has shown strong momentum. He said ICBC will further increase resource input, explore ways to provide stable liquidity support for the offshore RMB market, and study the launch of more innovative RMB products to better meet the financial needs of market participants engaged in China-Pakistan economic and trade cooperation. Yang Yundong, Chinese consul general in Karachi, said the evolving global economic environment underscores the importance of deepening financial cooperation between China and Pakistan. China stands ready to work with Pakistan to facilitate local-currency settlement in bilateral trade and investment, expand RMB-related services, strengthen regulatory communication and coordination, and leverage financial technologies to enhance cross-border financial connectivity, he added.”
Also on the page is a report on Wang Yi’s meeting with Raja Dato’ Nushirwan bin Zainal Abidin, director-general of Malaysia’s National Security Council. Xinhua says:
“Wang said China is willing to work together with Malaysia to strengthen the alignment of development strategies under the guidance of the important consensus reached between the leaders of the two countries, deepen political and security cooperation, push for more outcomes in practical cooperation, and continuously elevate strategic cooperation between the two countries. Wang said that China is ready to tap the potential for cooperation with Malaysia in cutting-edge fields such as the digital economy, artificial intelligence and new energy, and to work with Malaysia to build a regional highland for cooperation on new quality productive forces. Wang called on the two sides to make full use of the dialogue platform for maritime issues, promote substantive and in-depth cooperation, and manage and handle differences properly. He also called for strengthening solidarity and coordination, upholding the multilateral trading system, and injecting more stability into the world economy.”
Wang said that China highly appreciates Malaysia’s long-term adherence to the one-China principle, and its clear statement of not supporting any ‘Taiwan independence’ remarks and actions. The two sides should provide mutual support to safeguard their respective core interests, and work together to defend international fairness and justice, safeguard the fruits of the World War II victory, and not allow anyone to turn back the wheel of history, he added.”
Although Wang talked about Malaysia adhering to the one-China principle, his guest was clear that “Malaysia adheres to the one-China policy”. FYI: Nushirwan is in China to attend the second Bilateral Dialogue between China and Malaysia on the Management of Maritime Issues in the South China Sea.

Page 10: There’s an article by Minister of Science and Technology, Yin Hejun. This is an important read outlining significant policy approaches.
Yin begins by talking about the importance of integrating technological innovation and industrial innovation. In this section, he says:
“Promoting the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation is a major strategic decision made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, with a view to supporting and leading Chinese-style modernisation through scientific and technological modernisation, profoundly observing major domestic and international development trends, and accurately grasping the laws of scientific, technological and industrial development. Scientific and technological innovation mainly includes activities such as basic research, applied research, technological development and commercialisation and application of results, achieving new scientific discoveries, proposing new scientific principles, inventing new technical methods and processes, and obtaining new verification and demonstration. Industrial innovation, through technological application, management reform, and model innovation, develops new products, opens up new markets, creates new demands, and promotes industrial transformation and economic development. Scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation mutually intersect, integrate and promote each other, and develop synergistically. Scientific and technological innovation provides endogenous momentum for industrial innovation, and industrial innovation creates value for scientific and technological innovation. Promoting the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation is an important grasp for deeply implementing the strategy of invigorating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talent, and the innovation-driven development strategy, and has great significance for building a strong country in science and technology and achieving Chinese-style modernization.” 推动科技创新和产业创新深度融合是以习近平同志为核心的党中央着眼以科技现代化支撑引领中国式现代化,深刻洞察国内国际发展大势,准确把握科技和产业发展规律作出的重大战略决策。科技创新主要包括基础研究、应用研究、技术开发和成果转化等活动,取得新的科学发现,提出新的科学原理,发明新的技术方法工艺,得到新的验证示范。产业创新通过技术应用、管理改革、模式创新,开发新产品,开拓新市场,创造新需求,推动产业变革和经济发展。科技创新和产业创新相互交叉、互融共促、协同发展,科技创新为产业创新提供内生动力,产业创新为科技创新创造价值。推动科技创新和产业创新深度融合是深入实施科教兴国战略、人才强国战略、创新驱动发展战略的重要抓手,对建成科技强国、实现中国式现代化具有重大意义.
He then makes three points:
First, promoting the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation is an inherent requirement for cultivating and developing new-quality productive forces. “New-quality productive forces are characterised by high technology, high efficiency, and high quality. They represent an advanced state of productive forces where innovation plays a leading role, breaking away from traditional economic growth patterns and development paths. Technological innovation is the core element in developing new-quality productive forces, and industrial innovation is the key carrier for the leap in productive forces. Currently, China is at a critical juncture of accelerating the transformation of old and new growth drivers, and industrial development has entered a crucial stage of transformation and upgrading. It is essential to leverage the leading role of technological innovation, efficiently allocate various innovation elements such as knowledge, technology, talent, and capital, strengthen original and disruptive technological innovation, achieve more revolutionary technological breakthroughs, promptly apply the results of technological innovation to specific industries and industrial chains, optimise and upgrade traditional industries, cultivate and expand emerging industries, proactively plan for future industries, and significantly improve total factor productivity, injecting strong momentum into the development of new-quality productive forces and the realization of high-quality development. 推动科技创新和产业创新深度融合是培育发展新质生产力的内在要求。习近平总书记深刻指出:“科技创新和产业创新,是发展新质生产力的基本路径。”新质生产力具有高科技、高效能、高质量特征,是创新起主导作用,摆脱传统经济增长方式、生产力发展路径的先进生产力质态。科技创新是发展新质生产力的核心要素,产业创新是生产力跃迁的关键载体。当前,我国正处于新旧动能加快转换的关键时期,产业发展进入转型升级的重要关口。我们必须发挥科技创新主导作用,高效配置知识、技术、人才、资本等各类创新要素,加强原创性、颠覆性科技创新,实现更多技术革命性突破,及时将科技创新成果应用到具体产业和产业链上,优化提升传统产业,培育壮大新兴产业,前瞻布局未来产业,大幅提升全要素生产率,为发展新质生产力、实现高质量发展注入强劲动能.
Second, promoting the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation is an inevitable choice for accurately grasping the trends of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, and seizing the commanding heights of development. Under this, he writes: “At present, basic research is continuously expanding new frontiers of human cognition, cutting-edge technologies are showing an accelerated breakthrough and a leapfrog development trend, and the boundaries between basic research, applied research, technology development, and industrialization are becoming increasingly blurred, and the speed of their mutual interaction and cyclical iteration is continuously accelerating. AI, as a strategic technology leading the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, is rapidly and widely penetrating all sectors and aspects of the economy and society, comprehensively empowering all industries, driving the iterative upgrading of technological systems, reshaping scientific research paradigms, industrial forms, and economic patterns. A number of new industries and new business models, such as next-generation communications, brain-computer interfaces, and biomanufacturing, are entering a new stage of explosive growth. Throughout history, every technological revolution has triggered industrial transformation, and every industrial transformation has promoted the vigorous development and large-scale application of science and technology. Currently, competition among countries for the commanding heights of cutting-edge technologies and industrial development has entered a fierce stage. To gain strategic initiative in fierce international competition, we must not only compete on scientific breakthroughs and technological advancements, but also on industrial innovation and corporate competitiveness. We must accurately grasp the laws of technological revolution and industrial transformation, transform traditional thinking, reform innovative organizational models, strengthen the coordinated layout of science and technology and industry, effectively enhance science and technology hard power, improve industrial competitiveness, and seize the initiative in technological competition and the leading role in industrial transformation. 推动科技创新和产业创新深度融合是准确把握新一轮科技革命和产业变革趋势、抢占发展制高点的必然选择。习近平总书记深刻指出:“科学研究范式正在发生深刻变革,学科交叉融合不断发展,科学技术和经济社会发展加速渗透融合。”当前,基础研究不断拓展人类认知新边界,前沿技术呈现加速突破、群体跃升态势,基础研究、应用研究、技术开发和产业化的边界越趋模糊,相互作用与循环迭代速度不断加快。人工智能作为引领新一轮科技革命和产业变革的战略性技术,正在迅速广泛渗透经济社会各领域各方面,全面赋能千行百业,牵引技术体系迭代升级,重塑科研范式、产业形态和经济格局,新一代通信、脑机接口、生物制造等一批新产业新业态进入爆发增长新阶段。纵观历史,每一次科技革命都会引发产业变革,每一次产业变革都会促进科技蓬勃发展和大规模应用。当前,各国围绕前沿科技和产业发展制高点的竞争已进入白热化阶段。在激烈的国际竞争中赢得战略主动,不仅要比拼科学突破性、技术先进性,还要比拼产业创新力和企业竞争力。我们必须准确把握科技革命和产业变革规律,转变传统思维方式,变革创新组织模式,加强科技和产业协同布局,切实增强科技硬实力、提升产业竞争力,掌握科技竞争主动权和产业变革主导权.
Third, promoting the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation is a strategic move for China’s scientific and technological and industrial development to enter a new stage. China has always attached great significance to the important role of science and technology in promoting economic and social development, and has made important arrangements for the integration of science and technology with the economy at each historical stage. Since the 18th Party Congress, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has attached great importance to scientific and technological innovation, deeply implemented the innovation-driven development strategy, and accelerated the construction of a strong country in science and technology. China’s scientific and technological undertakings have achieved historic achievements. In 2024, China ranked 10th in the world in terms of national comprehensive innovation capability. The total social investment in research and experimental development exceeded 3.6 trillion yuan. The number of high-level international journal papers, international patent applications, and the total number of R&D personnel have ranked first in the world for many consecutive years. The integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation has continued to deepen. Industry-university-research cooperation and the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements have made new progress. The transaction volume of technology contracts reached 6.8 trillion yuan, and the innovation capability of enterprises has been significantly improved. The added value of the ‘three new’s’ economy, with new industries, new business formats, and new business models as its core content, has reached 18% of GDP. China’s industrial position in the global value chain has been continuously improved, and a solid foundation has been laid for the further deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation. However, compared with the world’s leading science and technology powers, we still face challenges, such as relatively weak original innovation capabilities, reliance on others for some key core technologies, and a generally low-to-mid-end position in the industrial chain. Based on the new requirements of deep integration, science and technology must take the lead, comprehensively enhance high-quality scientific and technological supply, comprehensively strengthen industrial demand traction, achieve bidirectional empowerment and synergistic multiplication, use powerful scientific and technological innovation capability to guarantee the integrity, advancement, and security of the modernised industrial system, and continuously shape new national competitive advantages. 推动科技创新和产业创新深度融合是我国科技和产业发展进入新阶段的战略之举。我国一直高度重视科技在推动经济社会发展中的重要作用,每个历史阶段都对科技与经济结合作出重要部署。党的十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央高度重视科技创新,深入实施创新驱动发展战略,加快推进科技强国建设,我国科技事业取得历史性成就。2024年,我国国家综合创新能力排名全球第10位,全社会研究与试验发展经费投入超过3.6万亿元,高水平国际期刊论文数量、国际专利申请量、研发人员总量连续多年位居世界第一;科技创新和产业创新融合不断深入,产学研合作、科技成果转化应用不断取得新进展,技术合同成交额达到6.8万亿元,企业创新能力明显提升;以新产业、新业态、新商业模式为核心内容的“三新”经济增加值占国内生产总值的比重已达18%,我国产业在全球价值链中的地位不断提升,科技创新和产业创新进一步深度融合已具备坚实基础。但与世界科技强国相比,还存在原始创新能力相对薄弱、一些关键核心技术受制于人、产业链整体上处于中低端等问题。立足深度融合新要求,科技要打头阵,全面增强高质量科技供给,全面强化产业需求牵引,实现双向赋能、协同倍增,以强大的科技创新能力保障现代化产业体系的完整性、先进性、安全性,持续塑造国家竞争新优势.
In the second section of the article, Yin outlines the overall requirements for the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation. He makes four points in this regard. But before that, he tells us that Xi has said:
to grasp scientific and technological innovation, one must focus on building a modernised industrial system
to grasp industrial innovation, one must firmly guard the foundation of the real economy, and persist in giving equal emphasis to promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and opening up new tracks for strategic emerging industries and future industries
to promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, especially to use disruptive technologies and frontier technologies to give birth to new industries, new models, new momentum, and develop new quality productive forces
He has also stressed that the “foundation for the integration of technological and industrial innovation is increasing the supply of high-quality technology, the key to integration is strengthening the leading role of enterprises in technological innovation, and the way to integration is promoting the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements.” Xi has also called to “build platforms and improve systems and mechanisms to ensure seamless connection between the innovation chain and the industrial chain.”
“General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important statements are the fundamental guidelines and an action plan for promoting the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation.” 习近平总书记高度重视科技创新和产业创新,对科技创新和产业创新融合作出系列重要论述,指出“抓科技创新,要着眼建设现代化产业体系”,“抓产业创新,要守牢实体经济这个根基,坚持推动传统产业改造升级和开辟战略性新兴产业、未来产业新赛道并重”;强调“以科技创新推动产业创新,特别是以颠覆性技术和前沿技术催生新产业、新模式、新动能,发展新质生产力”;强调科技创新和产业创新融合的基础是增加高质量科技供给,融合的关键是强化企业科技创新主体地位,融合的途径是促进科技成果转化应用;强调要搭建平台、健全体制机制,让创新链和产业链无缝对接。习近平总书记的重要论述是推动科技创新和产业创新深度融合的根本遵循和行动指南.
Then he outlines the four points:
“Persist in taking industrial demand and application as the orientation for scientific and technological innovation. Industrial development is the soil for scientific and technological innovation and the main battlefield for the transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements, providing funding, application scenarios, and market feedback for scientific and technological innovation. We must emphasise demand orientation, adhere to the principle of ‘industry posing the questions, technology providing the answers’, focus on key areas and weak links in the construction of a modern industrial system, transform and innovate organizational models, strengthen innovation in key common technologies, cutting-edge leading technologies, modern engineering technologies, and disruptive technologies, strengthen the integration of research and application, create more useful inventions, consolidate the technological foundation for industrial development, and accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements into real productive forces.” 坚持科技创新以产业需求和应用为导向。产业发展是科技创新的土壤,是科技创新成果转化的主战场,为科技创新提供资金、应用场景和市场反馈。要突出需求导向,坚持“产业出题、科技答题”,聚焦现代化产业体系建设的重点领域和薄弱环节,变革创新组织模式,加强关键共性技术、前沿引领技术、现代工程技术、颠覆性技术创新,强化研以致用、研用一体,创造更多有用的发明,筑牢产业发展的技术基础,加快将科技创新成果转化为现实生产力.
Persist in making industrial innovation focus on improving the level of science and technology. Scientific and technological innovation is the core of industrial development; industrial development can only form strong competitiveness and lasting vitality by relying on scientific and technological innovation. To build a modernised industrial system, we must focus on strengthening integrated innovation in links such as scientific and technological research and development, product iteration and upgrading, and application scenario construction, take scientific and technological innovation as the fundamental driving force, upgrade traditional industries, strengthen emerging industries, cultivate future industries, and accelerate the promotion of intelligent, green, and integrated development of industries. 坚持产业创新以提升科技水平为着力点。科技创新是产业发展的内核,产业发展只有依靠科技创新才能形成强大竞争力和持久生命力。建设现代化产业体系,要着力加强科技研发、产品迭代升级、应用场景建设等环节融通创新,以科技创新为根本驱动,升级传统产业、壮大新兴产业、培育未来产业,加快推动产业智能化、绿色化、融合化发展。
Persist in taking the enhancement of enterprise innovation capability as the key. Enterprises have the natural attribute of connecting science and technology, the market, industry, and the economy; they are the basic units of industrial development and the main force of innovation and creation, and they are the connection point of the innovation chain and the industrial chain. We must implement the strengthening of enterprises’ position as main bodies of innovation throughout the entire process of integration, promote enterprise-led industry-academia-research collaborative innovation, drive the concentration of innovation elements such as capital, talent, technology, and data toward enterprises, build high-level innovation platforms with deep integration, continuously enhance enterprise innovation capability, and make enterprises the main bodies of technological innovation decision-making, R&D investment, scientific research organisation, and achievement transformation. 坚持以提升企业创新能力为关键。企业具有连接科技、市场、产业、经济的天然属性,是产业发展的基本单元和创新创造的主力军,是创新链和产业链的结合点。要把强化企业创新主体地位贯穿融合全过程,促进企业主导的产学研融通创新,推动资金、人才、技术、数据等创新要素向企业集聚,建设深度融合的高能级创新平台,持续提升企业创新能力,使企业成为技术创新决策、研发投入、科研组织、成果转化的主体.
Persist in combining an effective market with a capable government. Innovation requires both market mechanism promotion and government forward planning and policy guidance; the two working together can effectively stimulate the vitality of innovation and creation throughout society. We must make good use of China’s super-large-scale market advantage, strengthen the guiding role of the market in research and development direction and technical route selection, leverage the government’s role as innovation organiser and ecosystem builder, promote consistency and mutual coordination in the policy orientation of science and technology, industry, fiscal and taxation, finance and other policies, and create a good policy environment. 坚持有效市场和有为政府相结合。创新既需要市场机制推动,也需要政府超前谋划和政策引导,二者共同发力,有效激发全社会创新创造活力。要用好我国超大规模市场优势,强化市场在研发攻关方向、技术路线选择上的牵引作用,发挥政府创新组织者和生态营造者作用,促进科技、产业、财税、金融等政策取向一致、相互衔接,营造良好的政策环境.
