Zhejiang Province, China's eastern economic and manufacturing hub, launched its first direct cargo flight to Luxembourg on Monday morning, with an all-cargo aircraft taking off from Nanhu International Airport in Jiaxing City.
The flight, loaded with cross-border e-commerce goods, electronic products, and household items, marks the official opening of the Jiaxing-Luxembourg international route, the first direct cargo air link between Zhejiang and the European country.
As the first dedicated air cargo hub in the Yangtze River Delta -- one of China's most economically vibrant regions, Jiaxing Nanhu Airport now connects directly to a major European logistics center, giving foreign trade businesses faster and more convenient global logistics options.

China's position on maintaining the stability and security of global critical mineral supply chains remains unchanged, with a continued ban on exports of all dual-use items to Japanese military users, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Monday in Beijing.
Guo made the statement at a regular press briefing when asked about China's controls on exports of certain dual-use items.
"In accordance with laws and regulations, China prohibits the export of all dual-use items to Japanese military users, for military purposes, or for any end use that could help enhance Japan's military capabilities. The aim is to curb Japan's 'remilitarization' and its attempts to acquire nuclear weapons. China's position on safeguarding the stability and security of global critical mineral supply chains remains unchanged, and all parties have a responsibility to play a constructive role in this regard," said Guo.
