People's Daily Stresses Politcal Loyalty & Combat Readiness on China's Army Day - State Council on AI+ Action Plan - Warning on 8-Point Regulation Implementation - Commentary on Mideast Turmoil

Here are the key reports and articles that I found noteworthy from the People’s Daily’s edition on Friday, August 1, 2025.

Page 1: Today is China’s Army Day. So let’s begin with the report on Xi Jinping signing an order to unveil the flag patterns of four branches of the PLA: the aerospace force, cyberspace force, information support force and joint logistics support force. Xinhua reports:

“The release of the branch flags marks the establishment of a military flag system of the people's army in the new era, comprising the PLA flag, the flags of the army, navy, air force and rocket force, as well as the flags of the aerospace force, cyberspace force, information support force and joint logistics support force. The branch flags will be put into official use starting Aug. 1.”

Also on the page is a report (English report) on Xi signing an order to award citations for merit to two military units and five individuals.

• An office of Troop 63920 of the PLA was honored with a first-class citation for merit. (Note: From what I gather, this unit is essentially the Beijing Aerospace Control Center)

• Troop 96712 of the PLA was awarded a second-class citation for merit. (Note: From what I gather, this is a unit under the PLA Rocket Force.)

• Ding Yang from Troop 92853 of the PLA received a first-class citation for merit in defense-related science and technology

• Wang Haidou from the former Army Academy of Armored Forces, Gao Yuqi from the Army Medical University, Yang Zichun from the Naval University of Engineering, and Chen Wei from the Institute of Military Medicine under the Academy of Military Sciences, were honored with third-class citations for merit in defense-related science and technology.

Below this on the page is a feature article marking China’s Army Day. The first key message in the piece is:

“Faith determines the foundation, the banner unites strength. The fundamental principle and system of the Party’s absolute leadership over the military originated in the Nanchang Uprising, was laid during the Sanwan Reorganization, and was finalised in the Gutian Conference. This is the political characteristic and fundamental advantage that completely distinguishes the people’s army from all other old armies. On the long and arduous revolutionary road, tens of millions of revolutionary officers and soldiers have unswervingly listened to the Party’s words and followed the Party, forging an iron-strong mighty army that cannot be dragged down, cannot be broken, conquers everything it attacks, and is invincible in battle. ‘The Party’s absolute leadership over the military is the soul and lifeblood of our army; it must never change, never be lost.’ These two ‘nevers’, repeatedly emphasised by Chairman Xi Jinping, inextricably link the past, present, and future of the People’s Army. Striding into the new era, the fundamental principle and system of the Party’s absolute leadership over the military continues in adherence and improves in inheritance. The broad masses of officers and soldiers persistently use Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to unite hearts and forge souls, continuously laying solid ideological foundations for listening to the Party’s words and following the Party.” 信仰决定根本，旗帜凝聚力量。党对军队绝对领导的根本原则和制度，发端于南昌起义，奠基于三湾改编，定型于古田会议，是人民军队完全区别于一切旧军队的政治特质和根本优势。在风雨如磐的漫长革命道路上，千千万万革命将士矢志不渝听党话、跟党走，铸就了拖不垮、打不烂、攻无不克、战无不胜的钢铁雄师。“党对军队的绝对领导是我军的军魂和命根子，永远不能变，永远不能丢。”习近平主席一再强调的这两个“永远不能”，把人民军队的昨天、今天和明天紧紧联结起来。阔步新时代，党对军队绝对领导的根本原则和制度在坚守中赓续、在传承中完善，广大官兵坚持不懈用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想凝心铸魂，持续打牢听党话、跟党走的思想根基.

(Note: Despite this message and Xi’s authority being highlighted, there’s no mention of the Two Establishments, Two Safeguards or Chairman Responsibility System, etc.)

The second major message is:

“The People’s Army is forever a fighting force; its vitality lies in combat power. Since the PLA’s birth, it has experienced baptism through blood and fire, engaging in life-and-death struggles one after another with powerful enemies and stubborn foes, and has created war miracles of advancing from one victory to the next. ‘The military must be prepared to fight; all work must adhere to the standard of combat effectiveness and focus on being able to fight and to win battles.’ Entering the new era, Chairman Xi Jinping has paid high attention to military training, making important instructions many times. The commander-in-chief steers the journey of strengthening the military; on the front lines of exercises and training iron torrents surge mightily. The People’s Army firmly establishes combat power as this sole and fundamental standard, comprehensively improves new era capabilities for preparing for and fighting wars, resolutely safeguards national sovereignty, security, and development interests.” 人民军队永远是战斗队，人民军队的生命力在于战斗力。我军自诞生起，就历经血与火的洗礼，先后与一个个强敌、顽寇生死较量，创造了从胜利走向胜利的战争奇迹。“军队是要准备打仗的，一切工作都必须坚持战斗力标准，向能打仗、打胜仗聚焦。”进入新时代，习近平主席对军事训练高度关切，多次作出重要指示。统帅领航强军征程，演训一线铁流浩荡。人民军队牢固树立战斗力这个唯一的根本的标准，全面提高新时代备战打仗能力，坚决维护国家主权、安全、发展利益.

“In the face of chronic ailments and deep-seated problems in the field of military training, the new round of national defense and military reform has firmly focused on being able to fight and to win wars, deeply advancing the modernization of the military’s organizational structure, reforming the leadership and command system, building a system of modern military forces with Chinese characteristics, promoting a transformation in the construction of the People’s Army’s combat capability that is like being reborn or completely remade, and advancing the all-round transformation of military training. In recent years, the People’s Army has innovatively explored construction and application models for new-type combat forces, fully liberating and developing new-quality combat power. Domestically produced aircraft carriers, new-type nuclear submarines, the ‘Dongfeng’ series of missiles, and other great-power strategic weapons being commissioned, and combat capabilities such as strategic early warning, far-sea defense, long-range strike, strategic projection, and information support have all made a major leap forward. The Central Military Commission departments have strengthened research on major real-world issues concerning preparations for military struggle, focusing on improving the capabilities to plan battles, command battles, and lead troops in battles. Each theater command is actively exploring the joint operations command training system under the new structure; all units are vigorously promoting combat-training integration, system-based training, and technology-based training, thereby training elite, powerful troops capable of fighting and skilled at winning; military academies and research institutions are focusing on actual combat in their teaching, talent cultivation, and innovation efforts, and across the entire military, a surging wave of strengthening martial skills and enhancing capabilities continues to rise…” 面对军事训练领域的沉疴积弊，新一轮国防和军队改革牢牢聚焦能打仗、打胜仗，深入推进军队组织形态现代化，改革领导指挥体制，构建中国特色现代军事力量体系，推动人民军队战斗力建设发生脱胎换骨的变化，推动军事训练全方位转型。近年来，人民军队创新探索新型作战力量建设和运用模式，充分解放和发展新质战斗力，国产航母、新型核潜艇、“东风”系列导弹等大国重器列装，战略预警、远海防卫、远程打击、战略投送、信息支援等作战能力上了一个大台阶。军委机关加强军事斗争准备重大现实问题研究，着力提高谋划打仗、指挥打仗、带兵打仗能力，各战区积极探索新体制下联合作战指挥训练体制；各部队大力推进战训耦合、体系练兵、科技练兵，练就能战善战的精兵劲旅；军队院校和科研机构聚焦实战搞教学育人才抓创新，全军上下精武强能热潮持续涌动…

The final section of the article talks about the relationship between the PLA, government and the people. It mentions the Double Support system and the PLA being deployed for flood relief. The idea is that the people respect the PLA and the PLA serves the people. It also mentions national defense education, which is aimed at cultivating a sense of patriotism.

Now, back to the top of the page, there’s a report on Qiushi publishing the speech Xi delivered at the National Conference on Ecological and Environmental Protection in July 2023. In the speech, Xi called for five key relationships that need to be addressed to ensure progress.

• First, the relationship between high-quality development and high-level protection. It is necessary to plan development from the perspective of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Through high-level protection, we can continuously create new drivers and advantages for development, and continuously enhance its potential and sustainability.

• Second, the relationship between key breakthroughs and coordinated governance. It is necessary to adhere to a systematic approach, focus on the main contradictions and their main aspects, and take effective measures to address prominent ecological and environmental issues. We must also strengthen coordination among goals, in multi-pollutant control, between departments, across regions, and in policies, and continuously enhance the systematic, holistic, and coordinated nature of all work.

• Third, the relationship between natural and artificial restoration. It is necessary to ensure organic unification of natural and artificial restoration, with policies tailored to local conditions and appropriate timing, zoned and classified for targeted implementation, in an effort to find the best possible solutions for ecological protection and restoration.

• Fourth, the relationship between external constraints and endogenous motivation. It is necessary to stimulate the endogenous motivation of the entire society to jointly protect the ecological environment, consistently upholding the strictest systems and rule of law to protect the ecological environment, and maintaining regular external pressure.

• Fifth, the relationship between our ‘dual carbon’ commitment and our own actions. The ‘dual carbon’ goals we have committed to are firm and unshakable, but the path, method, pace, and intensity of achieving these goals should and must be determined by us, and must not be influenced by others.

一是高质量发展和高水平保护的关系。要站在人与自然和谐共生的高度谋划发展，通过高水平保护，不断塑造发展的新动能、新优势，持续增强发展的潜力和后劲。二是重点攻坚和协同治理的关系。要坚持系统观念，抓住主要矛盾和矛盾的主要方面，对突出生态环境问题采取有力措施，同时强化目标协同、多污染物控制协同、部门协同、区域协同、政策协同，不断增强各项工作的系统性、整体性、协同性。三是自然恢复和人工修复的关系。要把自然恢复和人工修复有机统一起来，因地因时制宜、分区分类施策，努力找到生态保护修复的最佳解决方案。四是外部约束和内生动力的关系。要激发起全社会共同呵护生态环境的内生动力，始终坚持用最严格制度最严密法治保护生态环境，保持常态化外部压力。五是“双碳”承诺和自主行动的关系。我们承诺的“双碳”目标是确定不移的，但达到这一目标的路径和方式、节奏和力度则应该而且必须由我们自己作主，决不受他人左右.

Then Xi made 6 points in terms of the goal of building a Beautiful China.

• First, continue to fight the decisive battle against pollution. It is necessary to persist with targeted, scientific, and law-based pollution control, maintain intensity, extend reach, and expand scope to further advance environmental pollution prevention and control, and continuously improve the quality of the ecological environment.

• Second, accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of the development mode. It is necessary to uphold green and low-carbon development as the fundamental solution to ecological and environmental problems, accelerate the development of green production and lifestyles, and lay a solid green foundation for high-quality development.

• Third, focus on enhancing the diversity, stability, and sustainability of ecosystems. From the perspective of safeguarding national ecological security, the sustainable development of the Chinese nation, and our responsibility to human civilization, it is necessary to strengthen ecological protection and restoration to leave behind a beautiful ecological space for future generations.

• Fourth, actively and steadily advance carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Adhere to the principles of nationwide coordination, prioritizing conservation, dual drivers (market and government), internal and external smooth flow, and risk prevention, and effectively implement the ‘1+N’ policy system for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.

• Fifth, safeguard the bottom line of security in building a Beautiful China. It is necessary to implement the overall national security concept, proactively and effectively respond to various risks and challenges, and ensure that the natural environment and conditions we rely on for survival and development are not threatened or damaged.

• Sixth, improve the support system for building Beautiful China. It is necessary to coordinate resources across all sectors, pool resources from all sides, and effectively deploy a comprehensive approach combining rule of law, market forces, science and technology, and policies to provide fundamental support and strong guarantees for building a Beautiful China.

Next, there’s a report on the State Council Executive Meeting, which was held to study and implement the important speech delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping on the economic situation in the first half of the year and on how to do a good job in economic work in the second half of the year.

“The meeting emphasised that it is necessary to deeply understand the Party Central Committee's scientific judgment of the economic situation, further strengthen the sense of responsibility and mission for doing a good job in the economic work for the second half of the year, accurately grasp the situation, strengthen awareness of potential dangers, uphold bottom-line thinking, be brave in taking responsibility, and tackle difficulties head-on, and consolidate and expand the positive momentum of economic recovery and improvement. It is necessary to anchor ourselves to the development goals and tasks for the whole year, increase efforts to improve the effectiveness of macroeconomic policies, continue to tackle and resolve difficult problems, and put in even greater effort to ensure the thorough implementation of the Party Central Committee’s decisions and deployments. It is necessary to focus more on stimulating the endogenous driving force of economic development, continue to deepen reforms in key areas, and achieve greater results in building a unified national market and optimising the business environment. It is necessary to better coordinate development and security, firmly adhere to the bottom line of preventing systemic risks, solidly carry out flood prevention, emergency rescue, and disaster relief work, more thoroughly and meticulously implement various response measures, and make every effort to protect people’s lives and property. 会议强调，要深刻领会党中央关于经济形势的科学判断，进一步增强做好下半年经济工作的责任感使命感，正确把握形势，强化忧患意识，坚持底线思维，勇于担当、攻坚克难，巩固拓展经济回升向好势头。要锚定全年发展目标任务，加力提升宏观政策效能，持续攻坚破解难题，下更大力气抓好党中央决策部署的贯彻落实。要更加注重激发经济发展内生动力，持续深化重点领域改革，在建设全国统一大市场、优化营商环境等方面取得更多成效。要更好统筹发展和安全，牢牢守住不发生系统性风险的底线，扎实做好防汛抢险救灾工作，更加周密细致落实好各项应对措施，全力保障人民生命财产安全.

“The meeting reviewed and approved the ‘Opinions on Deepening the Implementation of the AI+ Action Plan’. The meeting noted that, with the current rapid evolution of AI technology, it is necessary to thoroughly implement the AI+ Action Plan and vigorously promote the large-scale commercial application of AI. Leveraging China’s advantages of a comprehensive industrial system, a large market scale, and diverse application scenarios, we will promote the rapid popularization and deep integration of AI in all areas of economic and social development, fostering a virtuous cycle in which innovation drives application and application fosters innovation. Government departments and SoEs should strengthen demonstration and leadership, supporting the implementation of technologies through open scenarios. Efforts should be made to optimize the AI innovation ecosystem, strengthen computing power, algorithms, and data supply, increase policy support, strengthen talent development, and build an open source and open ecosystem to provide strong support for the development and growth of the industry. Security capabilities should be enhanced, and a dynamic, agile, and multi-faceted AI governance framework should be accelerated.” 会议审议通过《关于深入实施“人工智能+”行动的意见》。会议指出，当前人工智能技术加速迭代演进，要深入实施“人工智能+”行动，大力推进人工智能规模化商业化应用，充分发挥我国产业体系完备、市场规模大、应用场景丰富等优势，推动人工智能在经济社会发展各领域加快普及、深度融合，形成以创新带应用、以应用促创新的良性循环。政府部门和国有企业要强化示范引领，通过开放场景等支持技术落地。要着力优化人工智能创新生态，强化算力、算法和数据供给，加大政策支持力度，加强人才队伍建设，构建开源开放生态体系，为产业发展壮大提供有力支撑。要提升安全能力水平，加快形成动态敏捷、多元协同的人工智能治理格局.

The meeting deployed the implementation of interest subsidies for personal consumption loans and loans to service industry operators. The meeting noted that interest subsidies for personal consumption loans and loans to service industry operators will help reduce credit costs for residents and financing costs for service industry operators through the coordinated linkage of fiscal and financial mechanisms, thereby better stimulating consumption potential and boosting market vitality. It is important to ensure the effective implementation of the interest subsidy policy, strengthen inter-departmental coordination, simplify application procedures, and expedite its implementation. At the same time, strict oversight will be implemented to improve the efficiency of fund use and ensure that fiscal funds are effectively and effectively utilised. 会议部署实施个人消费贷款贴息政策与服务业经营主体贷款贴息政策。会议指出，对个人消费贷款和服务业经营主体贷款进行贴息，有利于通过财政金融联动的方式，降低居民信贷成本和服务业经营主体融资成本，更好激发消费潜力、提升市场活力。要抓好贴息政策组织实施，加强部门协同，简化办理手续，推动政策尽快落地，同时严格监管提高资金使用效益，确保财政资金用好用到位.

The meeting approved the Draft Law of the PRC on the Protection and Quality Improvement of Arable Land.

Next, there’s a Zhong Yin commentary, which is a rather stern warning to everyone following the learning and education campaign with regard to the 8-point central regulations.

“Learning and education should focus on being ‘solid and strong’, not merely ‘passing the test’. It must be ‘grasped to the end’, and not treated as a ‘passing gust of wind’. Some Party members and cadres still harbour a sense of complacency/fluke mentality, believing that the current situation will pass if they wait it out and endure for the moment. We must strengthen our ideological and action awareness of implementing the Central Committee’s eight-point regulations, guard against slacking off, eliminate the mentality of merely passing inspections, and prevent the recurrence of prominent problems such as illegal eating and drinking. From the perspective of action, rectifying and remedying problems of work style is not the work of a single day. The further it goes, the more the intensity must be maintained. Follow-up work must be grasped tightly and in detail, to prevent being tight in the front but loose in the back, or starting strong like a tiger’s head but ending with a whimper like a snake’s tail (虎头蛇尾). Adhering to seeking truth from facts, for those issues where rectification is complete, achievements must be consolidated to prevent relapse and resurgence; for those not yet implemented or not meeting expected requirements, there must be a clear understanding, and the pace must be accelerated, to ensure the smooth completion of all tasks.” 学习教育重在“过硬”，而不是“过关”，必须“抓到底”，不能“一阵风”。从认识上看，少数党员干部仍存在侥幸心理，认为等一等、忍一忍，风头就会过去。要增强贯彻中央八项规定精神的思想自觉和行动自觉，防范松劲歇脚情绪，杜绝过关思想，防止违规吃喝等突出问题故态复萌、卷土重来。从行动上看，整改整治作风问题非一日之功。越往后越要保持力度，要抓紧抓细后续工作，防止前紧后松、虎头蛇尾。坚持实事求是，对整改完成的，要巩固成果，防止反弹回潮；对没有落实的、没有达到预期要求的，必须心中有数、加紧推进，确保各项任务顺利完成.

“Learning and education are not the endpoint of work style construction, but rather a new starting point. It must be recognised that the problems of work style are stubborn, recurrent, and complex; efforts to improve conduct cannot alternate between periods of strictness and relaxation…only by consistently upholding a strict tone and by effectively linking learning and education with advancing work-style construction can we consolidate the hard-won favorable momentum and situation, and transform good conduct into habitual practice through persistent effort.” 学习教育不是作风建设的终点，而是新的起点。必须看到，作风问题具有顽固性、反复性、复杂性，作风建设不能紧一阵、松一阵。从持续深化整治形式主义为基层减负、严查严处顶风违纪行为，到持续公布查处违反中央八项规定精神问题数据、通报曝光典型案例，坚持不懈狠刹歪风邪气，彰显了我们党将作风建设进行到底的坚定决心，释放了持续抓、长期抓的强烈信号。始终坚持严的基调，做好学习教育与推进作风建设的有效衔接，方能巩固来之不易的好态势、好局面，在常抓不懈中化风成俗.

“There are no ‘bystanders’ in the development of work style; all Party members are responsible. To win the ‘protracted war’ of work style construction, we must firmly grasp the ‘bull’s nose’ of the responsibility system, ensuring that responsible parties are in place, responsibility requirements are in place, and evaluation and accountability are in place. This ensures that the chain of principal responsibility, supervisory responsibility, first responsible person responsibility, and ‘one post, two responsibilities’ form a complete chain, better fostering a strict atmosphere and establishing a positive work style. Institutions govern the fundamentals and long-term. We must adhere to the combination of ‘rectifying the present’ and ‘establishing for the long-term’, elevating good practices and experiences gained through learning and education into institutional regulations, improving the institutional mechanisms for regular and long-term work style development, and forging a good work style with ironclad rules.” 作风建设没有“旁观者”，全体党员都是“责任人”。打好作风建设“持久战”，必须紧紧扭住责任制这个“牛鼻子”，推动责任主体到位、责任要求到位、考核问责到位，确保主体责任、监督责任、第一责任人责任、“一岗双责”等构成完整链条，更好营造严的氛围、树立正的风气。制度管根本、管长远。要坚持“当下改”与“长久立”相结合，把学习教育中的好做法好经验上升为制度规定，完善作风建设常态化长效化制度机制，以铁规矩锻造好作风.

Finally, there’s a report on Zhao Leji’s visit to Switzerland. Xinhua says that he met with President of the National Council of Switzerland Maja Riniker and President of the Council of States of Switzerland Andrea Caroni.

“China stands ready to work with Switzerland to implement the important consensus reached by leaders of the two countries and promote the high-level development of the China-Switzerland innovative strategic partnership, Zhao said. He noted that mutual respect and mutual trust are important foundations for the long-term stable development of bilateral relations, and that China is willing to maintain the positive momentum of high-level exchanges with Switzerland and welcomes more Swiss leaders and parliamentarians to visit China to understand a real, multidimensional and comprehensive China. Respecting each other’s core interests and major concerns is a valuable experience and the right approach to China-Switzerland relations, he said, adding that China appreciates Switzerland’s commitment to expanding cooperation with China and hopes to strengthen exchanges and interactions to pool more positive energy for the development of bilateral relations. Switzerland is the first continental European country that signed free trade agreement with China, and bilateral economic and trade cooperation has grown rapidly since the deal came into effect, said Zhao, who also expects to jointly push forward negotiations on upgrading the free trade agreement and high-quality financial cooperation, as well as welcomes the expansion of investment in China by Swiss capitals. He also called for enhancing cooperation in arts, sports, education and between local governments to consolidate the social and public support for bilateral friendship. He expressed the hope that China and Switzerland, both important forces loving peace and advocating multilateralism, will continue to enhance multilateral coordination, jointly combat unilateralism and protectionism, and safeguard international trade rules and world economic order, so as to promote a more just and equitable global governance. The NPC of China and the Swiss Federal Parliament have maintained long-standing friendly relations and made positive contributions to the development of bilateral ties and practical cooperation, he said. The two sides should further intensify friendly exchanges among legislatures, share and learn from each other's experience in legislation, supervision and other areas, timely formulate, revise and approve legal documents conducive to bilateral cooperation, and strengthen communication and collaboration within multilateral mechanisms such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union, he noted.”

Page 2: There’s a report on the SASAC officially launching the ‘Huànxīn Community’ (焕新社区)’ open-source platform for artificial intelligence during the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference.

Page 3: There’s a Huan Yu Ping commentary calling for political dialogue to address the conflict in the Middle East.

“Without stability in the Middle East, there can be no peace for the world. The Middle East cannot remain forever under the shadow of conflict. The people of the Middle East deserve a future free from fear. Political dialogue is the only way to restore peace and stability in the Middle East. The Palestinian issue, as the core of regional contradictions, cannot be overlooked. The current tense situation should not divert the international community’s attention from this issue. The humanitarian disaster in Gaza cannot be allowed to continue. The legitimate demands of the Arab people must be fulfilled as soon as possible. The just voices of the broad Islamic world should be taken seriously. The ‘two-state solution’ is the only realistic way to resolve the Palestinian issue. Establishing an independent Palestinian state with full sovereignty, based on the 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital, and ultimately achieving peaceful coexistence between Palestine and Israel, is the only way to eliminate the deep-rooted cause of regional tensions.” 中东不稳，天下难安。中东不能永远处于冲突的阴影下，中东人民应该拥有免于恐惧的未来。恢复中东地区和平稳定，政治对话是唯一途径。巴勒斯坦问题作为地区矛盾的核心不容忽视。当前紧张局势不应转移国际社会对这一问题关注，加沙的人道主义灾难不能继续，阿拉伯民族的正当诉求必须尽快兑现，广大伊斯兰世界的正义声音应得到重视。“两国方案”是解决巴勒斯坦问题的唯一现实出路，建立以1967年边界为基础、以东耶路撒冷为首都、拥有完全主权的独立的巴勒斯坦国，最终实现巴以和平共处，才能消除地区紧张的深层根源.

“The Iran nuclear issue must return to the track of dialogue. The Iran nuclear issue could have become an example of resolving international disputes through dialogue and consultation, but certain major powers unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear agreement and imposed extreme pressure on Iran. Consequently, the door to peace was not opened, and the situation reverted to confrontation. At present, although Israel and Iran have reached a ceasefire arrangement, the problem is far from being resolved, and its fragility cannot be ignored. Some Western countries have again pulled out their old playbook of sanctions and threats, further aggravating tensions and confrontation. The West has long dominated the global security system, but it has adopted double standards based on its own interests and those of its allies, neglecting the importance of building ‘common security’. Analysts believe that the impasse over the Iranian nuclear issue reflects the failure of Western security governance.” 伊核问题必须重回对话轨道。伊核问题本可以成为通过对话协商解决国际纷争的范例，但个别大国单方面退出伊核协议，并对伊朗极限施压，和平的大门最终未能推开，局势重新走向对抗。目前，以色列和伊朗虽达成停火安排，但问题远未解决，其脆弱性不容忽视。一些西方国家又搬出制裁威胁的老一套，加剧紧张对立。长期以来，西方在全球安全体系中占据主导地位，但其从维护自身和盟友的利益出发奉行双重标准，忽视构建“共同安全”的重要性。分析人士认为，围绕伊朗核问题出现的僵局，反映出西方安全治理理念的失败.

The ceasefire between Israel and Iran must be effectively implemented. All parties to the conflict must strictly abide by their ceasefire commitments with a high sense of responsibility and refrain from any provocative actions to prevent a recurring escalation of the situation, resolutely curb the risk of the war spilling over, create a stable environment for subsequent dialogue, and ultimately reach an agreement acceptable to all parties. Iran’s commitment not to develop nuclear weapons should be heeded, and its right to peaceful uses of nuclear energy as a signatory to the NPT should be respected. The international community should work together to create favorable conditions for negotiations and gradually restore regional stability. 以伊停火必须得到切实有效落实。冲突各方必须以高度的责任感严格遵守停火承诺，避免任何挑衅行为，以防止局势轮番升级，坚决遏制战争外溢风险，为后续对话创造稳定环境，最终达成各方均可接受的协议。伊方不寻求发展核武器的承诺应当重视，伊朗作为《不扩散核武器条约》缔约国享有的和平利用核能权利应该尊重。国际社会应共同努力，为谈判创造有利条件，逐步恢复地区稳定.

The article also says that the humanitarian situation in Gaza “has deteriorated to an unprecedented level.” “The red line of protecting civilians during military conflict must not be crossed, and indiscriminate use of force is unacceptable. All parties to the conflict should strictly comply with international law, prioritise the welfare of the people, prevent attacks on civilian targets, and facilitate the evacuation of third-party nationals. The international community should increase assistance to conflict-affected areas in the Middle East through UN humanitarian agencies to alleviate the hardships of people’s livelihoods worsened by war. Countries with significant influence over the parties involved should uphold a just and responsible attitude and genuinely play a positive and constructive role.” 无论任何时候，军事冲突中保护平民的红线都不能突破，无差别使用武力的行为都不可接受。冲突各方应严格遵守国际法，以民众福祉为重，杜绝针对民用目标的袭击，并为第三方公民撤离提供便利。国际社会应通过联合国人道机构，加大对中东受冲突影响地区的援助力度，缓解因战争加剧的民生苦难。对当事方有重要影响力的国家，应当秉持公正负责任态度，真正发挥积极和建设性作用.

Page 4: There’s a report informing that Liu Yu and Wang Qianjin have been appointed as the national security technical advisers of the Committee for Safeguarding National Security of the Macao Special Administrative Region. Yin Shuhua was removed from the post.

Another report informs that in the first half of 2025, the national disciplinary inspection and supervision system filed cases against 2,042 officials from the discipline inspection system and penalised 1,666 of them. Among these, 101 people have been transferred to judicial organs. Among those sanctioned were 49 officials at the department-bureau level and 319 at the county level.
