The Chinese embassy in Israel has urged Chinese citizens to return home or leave the country via land border crossings as soon as possible, on grounds that the security situation has deteriorated and Israeli airspace remained closed.
"At present, the Israeli-Iranian conflict continues to escalate, with civilian facilities damaged and civilian casualties increasing, making the security situation even more severe," the embassy warned in a notice on WeChat on Tuesday.

HK stocks end down as Mideast fears weigh on markets
HK stocks end down as Mideast fears weigh on markets The Hang Seng Index ended down 80.69 points, or 0.34 percent, to close at 23,980.30. File photo: RTHK Mainland Chinese and Hong Kong stocks ended lower on Tuesday as sentiment was weighed down by fresh signs of Middle East tensions after US President Donald Trump urged Iranians to evacuate Tehran. In Hong Kong, the benchmark Hang Seng Index ended down 80.69 points, or 0.34 percent, to close at 23,980.30. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index fell 0.4 percent to end at 8,694.67 while the Hang Seng Tech Index fell 0.15 percent to end at 5,291.85. On the mainland, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index closed down 0.04 percent at 3,387.40 while the Shenzhen Component Index closed 0.12 percent lower at 10,151.43. The ChiNext Index, tracking China's Nasdaq-style board of growth enterprises, lost 0.36 percent to close at 2,049.94. The retreat came as Israel and Iran attacked each other for a fifth straight day. Trump left the Group of Seven summit in Canada a day early due to the situation in the Middle East, the White House said on Monday, prompting broad risk-off sentiment in global financial markets. "One thing that is clear is that the situation continues to be highly uncertain and risks of escalation should not be ignored," analysts at Maybank said in a note. "Safe havens should continue to be better bid and the US dollar should be better supported." Oil and gas shares were an outperformer, as the geopolitical tensions drove crude prices higher. A sub-index tracking the sector gained 0.92 percent. Apart from the Middle East tensions, the focus was also on the annual Lujiazui Forum this week, traders and analysts said. "The Lujiazui forum is likely to be the key window for financial and yuan internationalization-related policies, while the July Politburo economic meeting is likely to provide further guidance on the monetary and fiscal stance for H2 this year," said Ju Wang, head of Greater China FX and rates strategy at BNP Paribas.

The Ukrainian Interior Ministry said 27 locations in the capital, including apartment buildings, educational institutions and critical infrastructure facilities, were under attack. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attack 'one of the most terrifying strikes on Kyiv' and said Russian forces fired more than 440 drones and 32 missiles at Ukraine overnight. In the southern city of Odesa, one person was killed and 10 others injured. Casualties were also reported in the Kiev and Chernihiv regions. The attack lasted nearly nine hours and is the latest in a spate of mass drone and missile attacks on Kyiv. (Xinhua/AP)

China's President Xi in Kazakhstan to cement Central Asia ties
Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet Central Asian leaders at a summit in Kazakhstan on Tuesday, his second trip to the region in under a year as Beijing competes with Russia for influence there. The summit in the Kazakh capital brings together Xi — who arrived in Astana on Monday — and the leaders of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. Under Russia's orbit until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the five countries of Central Asia have courted interest from major powers including China and the United States since becoming independent. The region is rich in natural resources and strategically located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. In a meeting with Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov on Tuesday, Xi called for the two countries to 'scale up trade and investment and expand cooperation in emerging sectors', Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported. The two sides should 'advance high-quality construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway and foster new drivers of growth in clean energy, green minerals and artificial intelligence', Xi reportedly said. In talks with Tajik President Emomali Rahmon, Xi said Beijing 'firmly supports Tajikistan in safeguarding its national independence, sovereignty and security', according to Xinhua. The Chinese leader also held talks with Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev and Turkmen President Serdar Berdymukhamedov, according to Beijing's state media. While Central Asian leaders continue to view Russia as a strategic partner, ties with Moscow have loosened since the war in Ukraine. The five nations are taking advantage of the growing interest in their region and coordinating their foreign policies. They regularly hold summits with China and Russia to present the region as a unified bloc and attract investment. The '5+1' format high-level talks have also been organised with the European Union, the United States, Turkey and other Western countries. 'The countries of the region are balancing between different centres of power, wanting to protect themselves from excessive dependence on one partner,' Kyrgyz political scientist Nargiza Muratalieva told AFP. Biggest trade partner Russia says China's growing influence in the region does not pose a threat. 'There is no reason for such fears. China is our privileged strategic partner, and the countries of Central Asia, naturally, are our natural historical partners,' Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday. But China has now established itself as Central Asia's leading trading partner. Trade volume with the region was estimated at $95 billion in 2024, according to Chinese customs. That figure is far ahead of the European Union (around $64 billion according to the EU Council in 2023) and Russia, with $44 billion. Central Asia is also an important target for China in its Belt and Road initiative — which uses huge infrastructure investments as a political and diplomatic lever. Xi's visit to Kazakhstan will '(open) up more room for the joint construction of the Belt and Road', Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Monday. Construction of the Uzbekistan-Kyrgyzstan-China railway and the China-Tajikistan highway, which runs through the Pamir Mountains to Afghanistan, are among the planned investments. New border crossings and 'dry ports' have already been built to process trade, such as Khorgos in Kazakhstan, one of the largest logistics hubs in the world. 'Neither Russia nor Western institutions are capable of allocating financial resources for infrastructure so quickly and on such a large scale, sometimes bypassing transparent procedures,' said Muratalieva. Developing transport corridors in Central Asia allows China to reduce delivery times by sending goods to Europe via the Caspian Sea, bypassing Russia. Chinese companies are also increasingly present in Central Asia's energy sector, seeking contracts for gas in Turkmenistan, uranium in Kazakhstan and rare earths in Tajikistan, among others. Kazakhstan said last week that Russia would lead the construction of its first nuclear power plant but that it wanted China to build the second. 'Central Asia is rich in natural resources such as oil, gas, uranium, gold and other minerals that the rapidly developing Chinese economy needs,' Muratalieva said. 'Ensuring uninterrupted supplies of these resources, bypassing unstable sea routes, is an important goal of Beijing,' the analyst added. Human rights China also positions itself as a supporter of the predominantly authoritarian Central Asian leaderships. At the last Central Asia-China summit, Xi called for 'resisting external interference' that might provoke 'colour revolutions' that could overthrow the current leaders in the region. 'Central Asia directly borders Xinjiang… Beijing sees the stability of the Central Asian states as a guarantee of the security of its western borders,' Muratalieva added. Beijing is accused of having detained more than a million Uyghurs and other Muslims as part of a campaign which the UN has said could constitute 'crimes against humanity'. Central Asia remains sparsely populated and has just 80 million inhabitants despite being as geographically large as the European Union. This is far less than the 1.4 billion Chinese population, now exempt from visa requirements in some countries of the region. Some in Central Asia are concerned by this arrangement and fear a loss of sovereignty.
