In the critical year of achieving the objectives and tasks laid down in the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), after the successful convening of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, how this important conference will plan for China's economy has attracted worldwide attention. I would like to share a few ideas with Iranian friends from all walks of life in this regard: The Conference analyzed the current economic situation. In the face of a complicated and challenging environment of increasing external pressure and growing internal difficulties, the Chinese government has united and led the Chinese people of all ethnic groups to respond calmly and implement comprehensive measures. Notably, the decisive deployment of a package of incremental policies at the meeting held by the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on Sept. 26 has effectively boosted social confidence and led to a remarkable economic recovery. In November, China’s economy has sustained the recovery momentum since September. Imports and exports of goods maintained growth and trade structure continued to optimize. In the first eleven months, the total value of imports and exports of goods was 39,786.1 billion yuan, up by 4.9 percent year on year. Equipment manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing grew fast, with the value added increased by 7.6 percent and 7.8 percent year on year respectively, both are more than 2 percentage points faster than that of the industrial enterprises above the designated size. Modern services developed well. the Index of Services Production of information transmission, software and information technology services, leasing and business services and financial intermediation grew by 9.3 percent, 9.3 percent and 8.8 percent year on year respectively, 3.2 percentage points, 3.2 percentage points and 2.7 percentage points faster than the Index of Services Production. As things stand, China's economic growth is expected to be around 5%, and major annual goals and tasks of economic and social development to be successfully accomplished. The Conference released a strong signal to promote the continued improvement of China's economy. The meeting arranged the economic work for 2025, emphasizing that more active and effective macroeconomic policies should be implemented next year. The country will adopt a more proactive fiscal policy, set a higher deficit-to-GDP ratio, increase the issuance of ultra-long special treasury bonds, and increase the issuance of local government special-purpose bonds. The tone of monetary policy was adjusted from "prudent" to "moderately loose", which is the first time in 14 years. The conference also outlined 9 key tasks, including expand high-standard opening up, give full play to the driving role of economic system reform, drive the development of new quality productive forces through scientific and technological innovation, and pursue coordinated progress in new urbanization and all-around rural revitalization. Although the adverse impacts brought about by changes in the external environment have deepened, and the country's economy still faces many difficulties and challenges, the Chinese government will face up to the difficulties, strengthen confidence, increase counter-cyclical adjustments, further enrich and improve the policy toolbox, and provide strong policy support for promoting the continued improvement of the economy. The Conference made it clear that China will expand high-standard opening up. At present, the headwinds of economic globalization intensified, geopolitical risks continued to rise, and global governance challenges increased. Under such circumstances, China insists on expanding its independent and unilateral opening up in an orderly manner, consolidating and expanding global trade and investment partnerships, and sharing development opportunities with the world. China will steadily expand systematic opening up, proactively docking the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement and other international high-standard economic and trade rules, accelerating the expansion of the network of globally oriented high-standard free trade zones, and promoting the negotiation and signing of a variety of multi-bilateral economic and trade agreements. China will enhance the resilience of foreign trade, promote cross-border e-commerce, push forward the layout and construction of overseas warehouses, actively develop services trade, green trade and digital trade, push forward the innovative development of border trade. China will increase the efforts to attract and stabilize investment, expand the pilot programs of expanding opening-up in the fields of telecommunication and medical, steadily expand opening-up of Internet, education, culture and other services, and further optimize the visa-free entry policy to attract and facilitate cross-border exchanges of business personnel. With world’s most promising mega market, a complete industrial system, a high level opening-up and the increasing effectiveness of innovation and development, China has a strong attraction to the world. At the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) held in November this year, Iran participated in the event with nearly 30 exhibitors and an exhibition area of 1,440 square meters, which is among top of all participating Asian countries. In 2025, China's economy braves the wind and the waves and sails steadily into the future, which will provide more development opportunities for all countries in the world, including Iran.

Niagara Region councillors inched closer to finalizing the municipality’s 2025 spending during Thursday’s budget committee meeting. After a series of amendments, many of which crashed and burned — and a heated discussion of the Niagara Regional Police budget — councillors accepted several staff recommendations that helped reduce the overall budget increase to 9.77 per cent on a levy to taxpayers of nearly $538 million. The percentage increase could fall slightly, pending the outcome of about $4.6 million in program changes councillors asked staff to reconsider. The plan to complete the Region’s 2025 budget and pass enabling bylaws by next Thursday remains intact. The full council meeting on that date will begin 30 minutes early to consider the staff report on program changes. Councillors also avoided a stalemate with the police services board by approving its $213-million NRP budget with a 13.18 per cent increase. On Nov. 21, council had asked the police board to find another $1.076 million in savings. The police board rejected the request a week later in writing. “The board came back and said, ‘too bad, we think this is what we need, and that’s that’,” Region Chair Jim Bradley said. “I don’t agree with that approach.” Bradley said he didn’t object to adding 33 front-line officers. Still, he questioned the police need for staff dedicated to social media, graphic design and recruitment in such a challenging budget climate. Fort Erie Coun. Tom Insinna, a retired RCMP officer, proposed sending the budget back to the police services board with an almost $4-million cut, which he said would have reduced the overall regional budget increase to 9.55 per cent. “I believe we will be providing sufficient funding to ensure the police services board can comply with the adequate and effective policing with which they are charged. The council needs to decide: do our residents need a Ferrari, or can we make do with a Chevy? I would suggest with the state of our economy, the Chevy will do.” Port Colborne Mayor Bill Steele took umbrage with Insinna’s Ferrari comment. “I am insulted by my learned friend, Coun. Insinna,” Steele said. “By any means, this is not a Ferrari. “The chief was adamant — these aren’t things that would be nice to have. These are needs with the increase in crime coming down from the GTA. It is not going to get better. I believe it’s going to get worse. We’ve seen it getting worse.” Steele, a member of the police board, suggested councillors reject Insinna’s motion and avoid “going back and forth like a ping-pong ball.” If the motion passed, Steele said the Region and the board could jointly file for a budget dispute resolution. “I think that’s probably the most economical way to move forward with this,” Steele said. When a municipality and a police services board can’t agree on a budget, either side can appeal the decision to the Inspector General of Policing. The Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) was used to handle disputes. The province dissolved the commission and replaced it with the Inspector General of Policing on April 1, when it introduced a new legislative framework governing policing in Ontario, the Community Safety and Policing Act. History has shown municipalities lose most appeals because arbitrators have traditionally not considered its ability to pay. The process is expensive regardless of the outcome. The two sides are represented by teams of lawyers and well-paid senior staffers, with taxpayers footing the bill for both sides as they prepare and present their respective cases. In 2014, regional councillors considered building a $600,000 war chest — with yearly contributions of $200,000 — so council could stand its ground against the growing police budget, most of which goes to salaries and benefits. The consideration came in the wake of an arbitrator’s award in 2013 that gave the police a pay increase of 3.05 per cent retroactive to January 2012. Councillors voted down Insinna’s motion, which effectively approved the police budget. During Thursday’s meeting, several changes helped keep the overall budget increase below 10 per cent. The changes included a $7.5-million reduction (1.55 per cent) due to changes related to Bill 23, the Building More Homes Faster Act, and Bill 185, the Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act. The province introduced Bill 185 partly because of the feedback it received on the changes to municipal budgeting wrought by Bill 23. Councillors also voted to fund a new Welcome Streets pilot project in St. Catharines for $128,000. The peer-to-peer outreach project was a last-minute addition by St. Catharines Mayor Mat Siscoe. Siscoe said Welcome Streets dovetails with the Region’s emergency declaration on homelessness, mental health and opioid addiction. Similar peer-to-peer outreach programs have improved downtown community safety in Brampton, Ottawa, Belleville and Sudbury. “My hope is that a project like this may allow us to decrease our reliance on police services and a relatively small cost, which is why I’m identifying the Taxpayer Relief Package as the funding source,” Siscoe said. “This is a pilot project. I know the (St. Catharines) Downtown Association is enthusiastic. “If we want to see an improvement in people’s willingness to go into those areas of town where we currently have problems, which are the areas identified in the proposal — the Queenston (Street) area, the Fairview Mall area and the downtown area.” Most of the budget changes approved Thursday are additions to staff, some of which are temporary. All are aimed at bolstering the Region’s pursuit of its strategic initiatives. The new positions include, for example, an IT security compliance and risk specialist, a debt analyst to help modernize the finance department and two transportation engineering project managers. The request also includes one-time spending on equipment, including centre line marking on all regional roads, soil testing and disposal, and storm water management system maintenance and repair. The latter two are legislated.

United Airlines travelers with lost luggage have a new tool to track their bags. If the lost bag has an Apple AirTag in it, that information can now be passed directly to United, the airline announced Thursday. The new feature, called Share Item Location, allows travelers with an AirTag or other Find My network accessory to share the location with the airline’s customer service team to help locate their luggage in the event it’s misplaced. The feature is now available with iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2 or macOS 15.2. “Apple’s new Share Item Location feature will help customers travel with even more confidence, knowing they have another way to access their bag’s precise location with AirTag or their Find My accessory of choice,” said David Kinzelman, United’s chief customer officer. Travelers on United whose bags do not arrive at their destination can file a delayed baggage report with United and share the link to the item’s location either through the United app or via text message. After the report has been submitted, customer service agents will be able to locate the item on an interactive map alongside a timestamp of a recent update. The shared location will be disabled after a customer has the bag, and customers can also stop sharing the location of the item at any time on their own. The location link will also automatically expire after seven days. Using AirTags or other tracking devices on luggage is increasingly popular among frequent travelers, with a significant boom following the 2022 Southwest Airlines holiday meltdown , which displaced thousands of travelers over Christmas and into 2023, alongside much of their belongings. United says lost bags are rare, with more than 99% of its customers arriving with their bags. It says the new technology will help those with lost bags to recover them more quickly because the airline will have more information about them. Apple previously announced the new service will also be integrated at other air carriers, including Delta Air Lines. Others include Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Air New Zealand, Austrian Airlines, British Airways, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Iberia, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Lufthansa, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Swiss International Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and Vueling.

Eskom extended the deadline to upgrade prepaid meters but customers will be required to buy electricity tokens by Saturday to make their meters key revision number 2 (KRN2) compliant. Thousands of residents continued to queue outside Eskom sites on Saturday to get assistance in upgrading their prepaid meters in an attempt to meet the initial Sunday deadline. But the power utility announced it will extend the deadline for zero buyers with active meters, said Eskom spokesperson Daphne Mokwena. “A technological breakthrough has enabled Eskom to pre-create key change tokens (KCT) on its online vending system. Zero buyers in this situation need to go to their legal vending sites with their meter numbers to buy electricity. They will be issued with their KCT by the vending agents to make their meters KRN2 compliant.” She said purchasing such tokens should be done before Sunday to trigger the activation of meters in KRN2 mode. “Once the meter has been activated by the purchase of electricity, the customer can visit any of the Eskom sites to complete the conversion process. The final step can be completed after [Sunday].” Earlier this week, minister of electricity and energy Kgosientsho Ramokgopa reiterated that meters using the KRN1 system would no longer accept electricity tokens. He said more than 2.1-million people had still not migrated to the new system and stood the risk of not having electricity after the deadline. To verify if your meter is ready: TimesLIVE
