China hails Seychelles' move to bar Lai Ching-te's outbound flight: Chinese FM

China highly appreciates Seychelles, together with governments of many friendly countries, for lawfully and openly revoking the outbound flight permits for Lai Ching-te, a representative figure of the separatist forces in Taiwan, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Monday.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks while holding talks with Barry Faure, minister of foreign affairs and diaspora of Seychelles, in Beijing.

It is believed that more and more countries will, like Seychelles, stand on the right side of international justice and history, Wang said.

Wang said that Seychelles is a trustworthy good friend and partner of China in Africa and the Indian Ocean. Under the guidance of the two countries' heads of state, China-Seychelles relations have developed well, Wang noted.

For his part, Faure said that Seychelles reaffirms its adherence to the one-China policy and will remain unwavering in this position.

A large pack of wolves wandering through heavy snow in the Altai Mountains of China's northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has been captured on rare infrared camera footage, marking the largest wolf pack recorded in the area since monitoring began in 2018.

The video sequences, retrieved on June 2 in the Fuhai branch of the Xinjiang Altai Mountains State-owned Forest Administration, showed nearly 20 wolves moving in a single line across the snow-blanketed forest terrain.

A clip captured a lone wolf carrying prey in its jaws as it passed directly in front of the camera.

The sighting of such a large pack is considered a sign of steady improvement of the ecological environment in the Altai Mountain forest area.

To date, the bureau's cameras have documented nearly 30 distinct wildlife species, including wolverines, red deer, and wild boars.
