In 2025, State Council departments handled 8,754 suggestions from NPC deputies and 4,868 proposals from CPPCC members, accounting for 95.6% and 97.3% of the total number of suggestions and proposals respectively, all of which were completed on time.

A reporter asked about the US demand that China participate in the trilateral nuclear disarmament negotiations between China, the US, and Russia. Mao Ning stated that China has repeatedly clarified its position on this issue. As a country with a massive nuclear arsenal, the US should earnestly fulfill its special and priority responsibility for nuclear disarmament; this is a universal consensus of the international community. Chinas nuclear forces are not on the same level as those of the US and Russia. At this stage, demanding that China participate in the so-called "China-US-Russia trilateral nuclear disarmament negotiations" is unfair, unreasonable, and unfeasible.February 27 – Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning held a regular press conference on February 27. Recently, Russia, the United States, and Ukraine have held three rounds of talks on the Ukraine crisis, and a new round of talks will be held in early March. Mao Ning stated that since the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis, China has consistently advocated for peace talks and promoted a political solution to the crisis. Currently, there are differences among the parties, but talks are underway and are beginning to focus on the substantive issues of the crisis. China welcomes this. “Peace talks cannot be achieved overnight, but as long as dialogue is maintained, there is hope for peace. We hope that President Xi Jinping’s ‘three guarantees’ will provide useful insights for the negotiations among the relevant parties. China will continue to play a constructive role in achieving peace in its own way, support all efforts conducive to peace, support all parties in continuing dialogue and negotiations, constantly building consensus, and ultimately reaching a fair, lasting, and binding peace agreement to achieve lasting peace and stability in Europe,” Mao Ning said.

Forecast for the price of gold: XAU/USD tussles with $1,730 resistance before US inflation

As traders anticipate the crucial US Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Tuesday, the price of gold (XAU/USD) grinds higher above a fortnight peak after a two-day advance to $1,725 per ounce. The market's optimism and anticipated preparations for today's inflation data may be responsible for the metal's most recent increases.

 

The market's cautious optimism appears to have been supported by rumors that Ukraine is succeeding in driving the Russian troops away from some of its conflict zones, even though this also increased concerns about Russia's strong response. The expectation of additional stimulus from powerful economies like China, the US, the UK, and Europe might be on the same lines. It's important to keep in mind that a Chinese holiday and a light schedule may have contributed to the XAU/recovery USD's because Beijing's lack of political or economic problems may have supported metal prices. In addition, recent news from the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that US gas prices have fallen for a 13th week in a row helped to relieve market pressure and encouraged a risk-taking attitude that was favorable to the gold price.

 

However, the recent easing of the headline economics and the inflation expectations seems to have pushed back the gold bears despite a light schedule, even though the policymakers from the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB) remain hawkish elsewhere.

 

In the midst of these maneuvers, Wall Street posted another day of profits despite rising US Treasury yields, which at the time were up five basis points (bps) to 3.36%. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which fell for a second straight day to the lowest levels in a fortnight, eventually dipped to approximately 108.30, was affected by the same factors.

 

Moving on, the US CPI for August is critical in light of the most recent easing of pricing pressure. According to the projections, the headline figure will decline to -0.1% MoM from 0.0% the previous month, while the CPI excluding food and energy is expected to hold steady at 0.3% MoM. The US dollar may continue to decline if the inflation numbers are weaker, which might support the XAU/continued USD's gain.
