乌克兰释放可能作出领土让步的信号
2025-12-25
| Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed for the first time publicly that his nation might be willing to withdraw its troops from parts of its eastern region to create a demilitarized zone as part of a 20-point, US-brokered peace deal on the table. He said the plan is "the main framework" for ending the nearly four-year war and includes NATO-style Western security guarantees in the event of any future Russian invasions. The Kremlin has so far insisted that Ukraine cede almost a quarter of its own territory in the eastern Donetsk region in return for a peace deal. The rest of the region is already under Russian occupation. In the continuing war this week, Ukrainian troops were forced to retreat from Siversk, a town in Donetsk, as the Russia army continued a slow but steady advance to seize more territory. Siversk, once home to about 11,000 residents, lies in ruins. | |

| China has drafted a law covering its governance and interests in Antarctica, Xinhua reported. It has been forwarded to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for review. Antarctica, the last of Earth's great untapped regions, is the focus of global rivalry to stake out territory, especially in mineral rights. China's new law will broaden China's interests from science to tourism, shipping and fishing activities. "The legislation will help better coordinate, manage and regulate Antarctic-related activities and provide strong legal support for China's participation in global Antarctic governance," Xinhua said.

It is a signatory of an international protocol protecting Antarctica's fragile environment, which is a key factor in determining global climate. | |

日本批准重启最大核电站
2025-12-23
| Japanese authorities approved the restart of the world's biggest nuclear power plant, which has sat idle since the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in 2011. Many local residents disapprove of plans to allow Tokyo Electric Power to restart one of seven reactors at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in Niigata prefecture. The powerful earthquake and tsunami that trigged a meltdown at the Fukushima plant remain fresh in the public mind, and the nation's regulators have taken a slow approach in restarting 14 of 33 nuclear reactors that remain operable. The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant, which has a combined capacity of about 8,200 megawatts, is located about 320 kilometers north of Tokyo on the island of Honshu. | |
