【Past and Present in China】 Land desertification is a major global ecological challenge threatening human survival and development. Since 2000, the frequency and duration of droughts have increased by nearly 30%. Intensifying droughts have left more than 1.8 billion people worldwide facing water shortages, while land degradation, desertification and drought cause nearly US$900 billion in global economic losses each year.🌲🌲🌲 After more than half a century of sustained efforts to combat desertification, China has achieved a historic transformation from “desert encroachment driving people away” to “greenery advancing as deserts retreat.” The areas of desertified and sandified land have continued to decline, achieving a sustained “double reduction.” China has become the first country in the world to achieve zero growth in land degradation, with 53 percent of treatable sandified land effectively rehabilitated. Over the past five years, China has completed a total of 36.6 million hectares of greening initiatives, raised its forest coverage rate to over 25%, and contributed approximately 25% of the global increase in green vegetation. Scientific and technological innovation is a key driving force behind China's evolving approach to desertification control. In Zhongwei, straw is arranged in a checkerboard pattern across sandy land, forming a vast protective network that effectively stabilizes shifting sand, reduces wind speed and creates favorable conditions for vegetation growth. China's approach to desertification control emphasizes the coordinated development of ecological and economic benefits, making desertification control a sustainable endeavor while improving local livelihoods. In 2020, the city of Ordos launched a photovoltaic desertification control project, transforming Wang Jianguo from a farmer in a sandy region into a local role model for prosperity. Wang Jianguo said his family earns income from land leasing, photovoltaic panel maintenance and forage dividends. Their annual income now exceeds 60,000 yuan (about KSh 1.17 million), more than three times what they earned from crop farming.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted Regular Press Conference on October 22.📣 She said: Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Djibouti Abdoulkader Houssein Omar in Beijing. They had an in-depth exchange of views on the Horn of Africa situation and the safety of shipping lanes across the Red Sea. Both sides agreed that the recent escalation of tensions in the Red Sea has posed a serious threat to the global economy, especially the economic activities of regional countries in the Horn of Africa, and exacerbated security challenges such as piracy and terrorism. The two sides did not wish to see tensions in the region spill over into the Red Sea and called on relevant parties to observe the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, abide by the basic norms of international relations, and avoid escalating tensions in the region through dialogue and other diplomatic means. Both sides agreed that the Horn of Africa shall never become an arena for geopolitics, and the Middle East conflict should not spread to the Horn of Africa. Both sides underlined the importance of the freedom of navigation across the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and stressed that the right of navigation that commercial ships from all countries are entitled to under international law should be respected. Both sides believed that easing the Middle East situation is the key to settling security challenges in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea, and reaffirmed the support for restoring the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people. The ceasefire agreement should be upheld, continued efforts should be made for lasting peace in Gaza, the two-State solution outlined in relevant UN resolutions should be implemented, and a peaceful and lasting settlement of the conflicts should be achieved through diplomatic means. Djibouti commended President Xi Jinping’s initiatives and proposals on promoting peace and security in the Middle East and the four principles on the constructive participation of relevant parties in the resolution of African hotspot issues, and expressed support for China playing a constructive role in the Middle East issue.

On October 23, Ambassador Guo Haiyan attended the opening ceremony of the Photo Exhibition Marking the 81st Anniversary of Taiwan's Restoration under the theme “remembering Taiwan’s restoration and advancing national reunification”. Amb. Guo Haiyan noted that the restoration of Taiwan is a major victorious outcome of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War and forms an important component of the post-war international order. China appreciates that Kenya abides by the one-China principle and supports all efforts by the Chinese government to achieve national reunification. We hope that our compatriots in Kenya continue to contribute to the great cause of national reunification and development of China-Kenya relations.

Ninety years ago, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, embarked on an epic journey of over 12,500 kilometers — the Long March. Through snow-capped mountains, treacherous marshlands, and relentless enemy pursuit, they endured unimaginable hardships with unwavering faith and iron will. The victory of the Long March marked a great turning point in Chinese revolution, transforming setbacks into triumph and lighting the path toward national independence and people's liberation. The Great Long March Spirit — forged with the lives and blood of the Red Army soldiers — has become an eternal beacon, inspiring the Chinese people to overcome all obstacles and march forward from victory to victory. Today, as we walk the new Long March of the new era, we honor their sacrifice, carry forward their legacy, and press on with courage toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳

A few days ago, President Xi Jinping, during his meeting with President of the Council of Togo Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, put forward four principles on the constructive participation of relevant parties in the resolution of African hotspot issues.📢 On October 19th, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made the following statement regarding these four principles： During his meeting with President of the Council of Togo Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, President Xi Jinping put forward four principles on the constructive participation of relevant parties in the resolution of African hotspot issues, providing practical guidance for addressing issues including the current situation in the Horn of Africa. First, upholding Africa’s leadership. African people are the true masters of the continent and should therefore play a central role in regional affairs. Second, safeguarding equity and justice. Parties should observe the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries concerned. Third, ceasing hostilities and building peace. War and unilateral sanctions are never real solutions to disputes between states. Countries should respect each other, engage in extensive consultation, seek common ground despite differences, and practice mutual understanding and accommodation. Fourth, addressing both symptoms and root causes. Addressing immediate security concerns should go hand in hand with long-term development planning.
