一 | (ECNS) -- Chongqing, a major automobile manufacturing hub in southwest China, exported vehicles worth 35.33 billion yuan (about $5.23 billion) in the first seven months of 2026, up 57.1% year on year, according to customs data released Thursday. Changan Automobile, Seres and Great Wall Motor are among the major automakers headquartered in or operating production bases in the city. Changan Automobile also reported strong growth in overseas deliveries, with 82,300 vehicles delivered overseas in August, up 79.1% year on year. Seres, meanwhile, launched its first dedicated cross-border freight train via the China-Laos Railway under the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor in 2026, marking the first time Chongqing has used the route for a customized train carrying complete vehicles for export. "The globalization of China's automobile industry is in full swing," said Wang Hui, executive vice president of Changan Automobile. He noted that overseas market research has shown strong acceptance and recognition of Chinese auto brands. "We have seen strong demand for Chongqing-made vehicles in the Central Asian market this year, with more companies entering the automobile export business," said Liu Lei, a Chongqing-based auto export dealer. Chongqing has launched the "Yuche Chuhai" (Chongqing Automobiles Going Global) action plan to build a nationally leading export base for intelligent and new energy vehicles (NEVs). The plan aims to increase the city's annual NEV exports to more than 120 billion yuan by 2027. (By Tang Yuxian) 
。 BEIRUT -- Iran’s foreign minister on Saturday called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, warning that the war might expand to other parts of the Middle East if Hezbollah joins the battle, and that would make Israel suffer “a huge earthquake.”Hossein Amirabdollahian told reporters in Beirut that Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has taken all the scenarios of a war into consideration and Israel should stop its attacks on Gaza as soon as possible.Israel considers Hezbollah its most serious immediate threat, estimating it has some 150,000 rockets and missiles, including precision-guided missiles that can hit anywhere in Israel. The group, which has thousands of battle-hardened fighters who participated in Syria’s 12-year conflict, also has different types of military drones.Hezbollah fighters have been on full alert along Lebanon’s borders with Israel following last Saturday’s attack by the militant Palestinian group Hamas that left hundreds of Israeli civilians and soldiers dead.On Saturday, the Israeli military said an Israeli drone strike along the border with Lebanon killed a “cell” that was trying to infiltrate into Israel. On Friday, Hezbollah said its fighters fired several rockets at four Israel positions along the border. On Saturday afternoon, Hezbollah fighters fired a barrage of rockets and shells at Israeli positions in the disputed Chebaa Farms. Israeli troops fired back on nearby areas in southern Lebanon. Amirabdollahian discussed during a meeting in Beirut Saturday the situation in Gaza and the region with the top Hamas official in exile, Saleh Arouri, and the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, Ziad Nakhaleh, according to Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV.Hamas officials have repeatedly said that last Saturday’s attack on southern Israel that killed over 1,300 civilians and troops was the work of the Palestinian group and Iran had nothing to do with it. Hamas officials did not respond to calls by The Associated Press to confirm and give details about the meeting. Amirabdollahian left Beirut Saturday afternoon following a tour that took him to Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, where Tehran enjoys wide influence.Amirabdollahian said he met Friday Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who briefed him on the group’s conditions in Lebanon.“I know about the scenarios that Hezbollah has put in place,” Amirabdollahian said. “Any step the resistance (Hezbollah) will take will cause a huge earthquake in the Zionist entity.”Amirabdollahian added: “I want to warn the war criminals and those who support this entity before it's too late to stop the crimes against civilians in Gaza, because it might be too late in few hours.”With an eye toward Hezbollah, U.S. President Joe Biden has warned other players in the Middle East not to join the conflict and has sent American warships to the region and vowed full support for Israel.The Iranian foreign minister said he will be contacting U.N. officials in the Middle East because “there is still an opportunity to work on an initiative (to end the war) but it might be too late tomorrow.”The possibility of a new front in Lebanon brings back bitter memories of a vicious monthlong war between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006 that ended in a stalemate and a tense detente between the two sides.。
