A newly premiered Chinese counterintelligence TV drama Jiaofeng has captured widespread attention on both the Chinese mainland and Taiwan. Jiaofeng, which means “clash” in Chinese, chronicles a two-decade-long saga of how spies from Taiwan conducting espionage operations on the mainland are brought to justice.近日，一部新上映的中国反间谍电视剧《交锋》在中国大陆和台湾地区均引发广泛关注。该剧剧名“交锋”意为“较量、对抗”，讲述了台湾间谍在大陆从事间谍活动并最终受到法律制裁的二十年间谍斗争故事。Produced with guidance from the Ministry of State Security, the drama draws from numerous real-life cases, shedding light on the covert battles which are often overlooked.该剧在国家安全机关指导下制作，取材于大量真实案件，展现了那些常常被忽视的隐蔽战线斗争。It portrays a team of national security police officers who are skilled, courageous and committed to combating spy operations, choosing to remain unsung heroes.剧中塑造了一批国家安全警察形象，他们专业过硬、勇敢坚定，致力于打击间谍活动，却选择成为默默无闻的英雄。It also offers a nuanced depiction of spies from the Taiwan island, avoiding a stereotyped narrative.该剧同时也对来自台湾地区的间谍进行了较为细致的刻画，避免了简单化、脸谱化的叙事方式。The popularity of the drama stems not only from the twists and turns in its intricate plot, detailed authenticity and well-developed characters but also from insights it offers into the current situation across the Taiwan Strait and the trajectory of cross-Strait relations.《交锋》的热播，不仅源于其跌宕起伏的剧情、细致的真实性以及丰满的人物塑造，也在于其对当前台海形势和两岸关系发展走向提供的思考。Historically and legally, Taiwan has been an integral part of China since ancient times.从历史和法律角度看，台湾自古以来是中国不可分割的一部分。Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait share common origins, culture and ethnicity, forming a community with a shared future.海峡两岸同胞拥有共同的血脉、文化和民族渊源，形成了休戚与共的共同体。The deep-rooted kinship, cultural ties and people-to-people bonds between the two sides have endured through time and can never be severed.两岸之间深厚的亲缘关系、文化联系和民间纽带历经岁月延续，无法割裂。In the TV drama, a poignant scene unfolds when the seriously ill father of a spy in Taiwan urges him to reconnect with relatives on the Chinese mainland.剧中有一幕令人动容：一名台湾间谍身患重病的父亲劝说儿子重新与大陆亲属取得联系。This plea to seek family roots shows that many families on the Taiwan island have their origins in the Chinese mainland. Such blood ties and family affections cannot be separated by the Strait.这份寻根的请求展现出，台湾许多家庭都源自中国大陆。这种血缘联系和亲情纽带，不会因为一道海峡而被割断。The Democratic Progressive Party authorities have long promoted "de-Sinicization" education in Taiwan, attempting to distort the national and ethnic identity of residents, especially young people on the island.长期以来，民进党当局在台湾推动“去中国化”教育，试图改变岛内居民，尤其是年轻人的国家和民族认同。But compatriots both on the Chinese mainland and in Taiwan are families connected by blood, and political manipulation by the DPP authority cannot alter the immutable fact that people on both sides of the Strait are Chinese.但两岸同胞血脉相连，民进党当局的政治操作无法改变两岸民众同属中华民族这一事实。Peace, a universal aspiration of humanity, is also the shared wish of people on both sides of the Strait.和平是全人类共同追求的目标，也是两岸民众共同的愿望。As depicted in the TV drama, the mainland resolutely counters infiltration attempts of spies from Taiwan, aiming to eliminate the separatist undercurrents that disrupt peace, promote the reunification of families and prevent conflict.正如电视剧所展现的那样，大陆坚决防范和打击来自台湾方面的渗透活动，旨在消除破坏和平的分裂倾向，促进两岸家庭团聚，避免冲突发生。The DPP authorities, however, obstinately pursue their separatist "Taiwan independence" agenda through military means, attempting to stoke tensions and create turbulence.然而，民进党当局通过军事手段推动其“台独”议程，试图制造紧张局势和不稳定。They have increased the island's defense budget for 2027 to an all-time high of NT$1.12 trillion ($35.4 billion), pushing Taiwan's defense budget to cross the NT$1 trillion mark for the first time.据报道，民进党当局已将台湾2027年的防务预算提高至创纪录的1.12万亿新台币（约354亿美元），使台湾防务预算首次突破1万亿新台币。Such reckless and belligerent policies will only deplete Taiwan's resources and further escalate tensions in the Taiwan Strait.这种被批评为冒险和强硬的政策只会消耗台湾资源，并进一步加剧台海紧张局势。Mainstream public opinion in Taiwan favors peace over conflict, development over recession, cross-Strait exchanges over hostility, and dialogue over confrontation.台湾社会主流舆论倾向于和平而非冲突、发展而非衰退、两岸交流而非对立、对话而非对抗。Yet, driven by separatist ambitions, DPP leader Lai Ching-te moves against public opinion, fully exposing his role as a “Taiwan independence” advocate and saboteur of peace.然而，在分裂主张推动下，民进党领导人赖清德采取与上述民意相悖的行动，被文章指责为“台独”支持者以及破坏和平的人物。Set in the 1990s, Jiaofeng depicts intelligence operatives from Taiwan coming to the mainland posing as business people and scholars.《交锋》的故事背景设定在20世纪90年代，描绘了台湾情报人员伪装成商人和学者进入大陆开展活动的情节。These operatives are able to infiltrate key departments on the mainland, including scientific research institutes, before they are discovered and eventually punished by law.这些人员试图渗透大陆科研机构等重要部门，最终被发现并依法受到惩处。Today, the mainland has an overwhelming advantage over Taiwan.当前，大陆在综合实力方面较台湾地区具有明显优势。It is determined to thwart separatist acts and safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity.大陆坚持反对分裂活动，维护国家主权和领土完整。Going forward, the mainland will continue to firmly advance the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations.未来，大陆将继续推动两岸关系和平发展。The reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait is an inevitable trend and the shared aspiration of the people.两岸统一是不可阻挡的趋势，也是人民共同愿望。Achieving complete reunification is indispensable for China's rejuvenation.实现完全统一对中国实现民族复兴至关重要。As a character in the drama puts it, the reunification of the motherland will definitely happen.正如剧中人物所说，祖国统一一定会实现。Only through China's reunification can cross-Strait “clash” be resolved and tensions avoided. Separatist forces advocating “Taiwan independence” will fail in their endeavor and end up in the dustbin of history.只有实现中国统一，才能解决两岸之间的“较量”，避免紧张局势。主张“台独”的分裂势力最终将失败，并被历史淘汰。【词汇提炼】counterintelligence /ˌkaʊntərɪnˈtelɪdʒəns/ n.反间谍工作；反情报活动espionage /ˈespiənɑːʒ/ n.间谍活动；谍报活动covert /ˈkəʊvɜːrt/ adj.秘密的；隐蔽的infiltrate /ˈɪnfɪltreɪt/ v.渗透；潜入saga /ˈsɑːɡə/ n.长篇故事；传奇经历kinship /ˈkɪnʃɪp/ n.亲属关系；血缘关系sever /ˈsevər/ v.切断；割裂reunification /ˌriːˌjuːnɪfɪˈkeɪʃn/ n.统一；重新统一

On a July morning, 120 new recruits and 20 members of the Ruijin squadron stood in formation at Yunshi Mountain in Ruijin, Jiangxi province, a place closely associated with the departure of the Central Red Army on the Long March more than nine decades ago.7月的一个清晨，120名新兵和20名瑞金中队官兵整齐列队，站在江西瑞金云石山上。这里与90多年前中央红军踏上长征征程的历史紧密相连。After a floral tribute was laid, they raised their right fists and recited the servicemen's oath.在敬献鲜花后，他们举起右拳，庄严宣誓，重温军人誓词。Among them was Huang Zhijie.其中就有黄志杰。Six months earlier, Huang had struggled to adjust to the demanding pace of guard duty and training. An ankle injury sustained during tactical training forced him to take a break, adding to his frustration.6个月前，黄志杰还难以适应高强度的站岗执勤和训练节奏。一次战术训练中，他不慎脚踝受伤，不得不中断训练，这让他一度感到沮丧。Shen Guohao, the squadron's political instructor, noticed Huang's low spirits and spoke with him after training.中队政治指导员沈国昊注意到了黄志杰的低落情绪，并在训练结束后主动找他谈心。"In 1934, Red Army soldiers left their families here and set out on the Long March," Shen told him. "Many were about your age. Compared with the snow-covered mountains and marshlands they crossed, the difficulties in front of us are not that great."“1934年，红军战士就是从这里告别亲人，踏上长征之路的。”沈国昊对他说，“当年很多红军战士和你年龄相仿。相比他们翻越的雪山、穿越的草地，我们现在面对的困难并没有那么大。”The words stayed with Huang. In his notebook, he wrote: "Miracles come from persistence and hard work. The predecessors did it. I should give it a try."这些话一直留在黄志杰心中。他在笔记本上写道：“奇迹来自坚持和努力。前辈们做到了，我也应该试一试。”After recovering, Huang returned to training. Within months, his performance had improved markedly.伤愈后，黄志杰重新投入训练。几个月后，他的表现有了明显提升。For servicemen stationed in Ruijin, stories from the Long March have become part of their training and daily lives.对于驻守瑞金的官兵来说，长征故事已经融入日常训练和生活。This year marks the 90th anniversary of the victory of the Long March, which took place from 1934 to 1936. Ruijin was an important starting point, with the Central Red Army beginning its strategic transfer from the area in October 1934.今年是红军长征胜利90周年。长征发生于1934年至1936年，瑞金是重要出发地之一。1934年10月，中央红军从这里开始战略转移。The Ruijin squadron of the Ganzhou detachment under the Jiangxi Corps of the Chinese People's Armed Police Force has been rated an advanced unit for 26 consecutive years.隶属于中国人民武装警察部队江西总队赣州支队的瑞金中队，已连续26年被评为先进单位。In Huawu village, 17 tall pine trees stand on a hillside. In 1934, the young men from the village set out with the Red Army on the Long March. Before leaving home, they planted pine saplings and hoped to return after victory. None of them did.在华屋村，一座山坡上矗立着17棵高大的松树。1934年，村里的17名青年跟随红军踏上长征。临行前，他们种下松树苗，希望胜利归来后能够重返家园。然而，他们最终都没有回来。More than 90 years later, the trees have become living memorials and a regular stop for new recruits.90多年过去，这些松树成为一座座“活的纪念碑”，也是新兵入队后的固定参观地点。Recruit Peng Xiang was deeply affected when he first stood beneath them.新兵彭翔第一次站在这些松树下时深受触动。"Standing on the land where our predecessors once fought, you can truly feel the power of faith," he said.“站在先辈们曾经战斗过的土地上，能够真正感受到信仰的力量。”他说。The visit is part of a routine for newcomers. They also drink water from the Red Well, a historic well dug under Chairman Mao Zedong's leadership in 1933 to provide clean water for local residents; learn revolutionary songs; attend short classes on the Long March; and walk part of the route at Yunshi Mountain.参观这些红色遗迹，是新兵入队教育的一部分。他们还会饮用红井的水，学习革命歌曲，参加长征主题课程，并沿着云石山部分路线徒步体验。红井是一口具有历史意义的水井，1933年在毛泽东领导下开挖，用于解决当地居民饮水问题。In 2019, the squadron introduced an "honor number" system. Numbers 1 through 70 were collectively reserved for generations of servicemen who had contributed to the squadron during its first 70 years, while current members began receiving numbers from 71 onward.2019年，瑞金中队推出“荣誉编号”制度。1至70号编号，集体保留给中队成立前70年中作出贡献的一代代官兵；现役官兵则从71号开始获得编号。In early July, the squadron's Communist Party of China branch was commended by the Central Military Commission as an advanced grassroots Party organization of the armed forces.今年7月初，中队党支部被中央军委表彰为“军队先进基层党组织”。For decades, generations of servicemen from the squadron have maintained ties with a local nursing home in Ruijin, visiting during holidays and helping elderly residents with daily tasks.几十年来，中队一代代官兵始终与瑞金当地一家敬老院保持联系，逢年过节前往看望老人，并帮助他们解决日常生活中的困难。"The servicemen have changed generation after generation, but this bond has never been broken," Shen said.“官兵换了一代又一代，但这份情谊从未中断。”沈国昊说。The squadron has also supported a local student, Gu Jiawang, since 2021, after a major change in his family circumstances put his education at risk. Its members set aside money from their allowances to support him and helped him with his schoolwork.自2021年以来，中队还持续帮助当地学生顾嘉旺。由于家庭情况发生重大变化，他的学业一度面临困难。中队官兵从自己的津贴中拿出钱资助他，并帮助他完成学习任务。In 2024, Gu was admitted to Beijing Normal University, where he majors in physical education.2024年，顾嘉旺考入北京师范大学，学习体育教育专业。This summer, he returned to the squadron, using what he had learned at university to help servicemen with training techniques.今年暑假，他回到中队，运用大学所学知识帮助官兵改进训练方法。"The squadron gave me a second home," Gu said. "In the future, I want to become a physical education teacher and pass this warmth on to more children.“中队给了我一个第二个家。”顾嘉旺说，“未来，我想成为一名体育老师，把这份温暖传递给更多孩子。”"I think that, too, is a kind of inheritance."“我觉得，这也是一种传承。”【词汇提炼】formation /fɔːrˈmeɪʃn/ n.队形；编队tribute /ˈtrɪbjuːt/ n.致敬；悼念；敬意 pay tribute to向……致敬oath /əʊθ/ n.誓言；誓词inheritance /ɪnˈherɪtəns/ n.传承；继承station /ˈsteɪʃn/ v.驻扎；派驻veteran /ˈvetərən/ n.老兵；退伍军人commemorate /kəˈmeməreɪt/ v.纪念

China opened a vital waterway on Wednesday, giving its landlocked southwestern areas a shortcut to the coast and overseas markets, as the country moves to further strengthen its trade relations with regional neighbors, particularly those in Southeast Asia.中国星期三开通一条重要水运通道，为西南地区内陆省区通往沿海和海外市场提供了一条“捷径”。随着中国进一步加强与周边国家，尤其是东南亚国家的贸易联系，这一工程将发挥重要作用。The Pinglu Canal, built in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region at a cost of 72.7 billion yuan ($10.8 billion), stretches for 134.2 kilometers from the Xijin reservoir in the county-level city of Hengzhou to the Qinzhou Port in the Beibu Gulf. It is the first waterway built in the country to connect a river system directly to the sea since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.平陆运河位于广西壮族自治区，总投资727亿元人民币（约合108亿美元），全长134.2公里，北起横州市西津水库，南至北部湾钦州港。这是中华人民共和国成立（1949年）以来，中国建设的首条连接内河水系与大海的人工运河。The canal shortens the inland waterway journeys of goods from southwestern China by more than 560 km compared with traditional routes through ports in Guangdong province. It is expected to reduce overall logistics expenses and save more than 5 billion yuan in transportation costs each year.平陆运河使中国西南地区货物运输相比过去经广东港口出海的传统路线缩短超过560公里，预计将降低整体物流成本，每年节约运输费用超过50亿元人民币。Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang, who attended the canal's opening ceremony, called for making full use of the new waterway to develop a first-class international gateway port in the Beibu Gulf and support further opening-up of China's western region.出席运河通航仪式的国务院副总理丁薛祥表示，要充分发挥这一新航道作用，加快建设北部湾一流国际门户港，进一步推动中国西部地区扩大开放。Ding also called for efficient operation of the canal, which serves as key infrastructure for multimodal transportation integrating river, rail and sea, and is a backbone project of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor — a strategic route connecting China's inland areas with regional and global markets.丁薛祥还强调，要高效运营平陆运河，使其成为连接江、铁、海多式联运体系的重要基础设施，并服务于西部陆海新通道建设。这一战略通道连接中国内陆地区与区域及全球市场，是推动内陆开放发展的重要工程。Construction of the Pinglu Canal started in August 2022 to address a long-standing geographical problem in terms of trade.平陆运河于2022年8月开工建设，旨在解决长期存在的贸易地理瓶颈问题。While Guangxi boasts a coastline and borders Vietnam, its major inland rivers flow east, which means cargo moving by water from Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, and other parts of the Xijiang River basin could only reach the sea through Guangdong.广西虽然拥有海岸线并与越南接壤，但其主要内河向东流动，这意味着来自广西首府南宁以及西江流域其他地区的水运货物过去只能经过广东港口出海。The Pinglu Canal, designed to handle vessels of the 5,000-metric-ton class, now allows cargo to turn south and reach the Beibu Gulf — the closest maritime outlet for much of southwestern China — through the Qinzhou Port.如今，平陆运河可通行5000吨级船舶，使货物能够向南转运，经钦州港抵达北部湾——这里是中国西南大部分地区距离最近的出海口。One of the biggest engineering challenges during construction of the canal was navigating a difference of 65 meters in the water level between its northern end and the sea. Three navigation hubs — Madao, Qishi and Qingnian — featuring twin-line ship locks were built to raise and lower vessels, effectively acting as giant elevators.建设过程中，最大的工程挑战之一，是需要克服运河北端与大海之间65米的水位落差。为此，工程建设了马道、企石、青年三座通航枢纽，并配备双线船闸，通过调节水位帮助船舶升降，如同巨型“电梯”。Ni Yuping, vice-dean of Tsinghua University's School of Humanities in Beijing, placed the megaproject in a broader context, saying that one of the key questions it seeks to answer is "how western China can better integrate into the global economy".清华大学人文学院副院长倪玉平表示，这一重大工程放在更宏观背景下，其试图回答的关键问题之一是：“中国西部如何更好融入全球经济。”Unlike the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, which primarily provide shortcuts for vessels between major seas and oceans, the Pinglu Canal gives a vast inland economic hinterland a shorter route to the coast — and from there to international markets.与主要为连接不同海域和大洋船舶提供捷径的苏伊士运河和巴拿马运河不同，平陆运河为一个庞大的内陆经济腹地提供了更短的出海通道，并进一步连接国际市场。Wu Tao, a history professor at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong, noted that inland waterway shipping routes "remain irreplaceable" even though China's road, rail and air transportation networks have expanded. Their large carrying capacity and relatively low logistics costs make inland waterways particularly suited for bulk cargo, Wu said.广州中山大学历史学教授吴滔指出，尽管中国公路、铁路和航空运输网络不断完善，但内河航运依然“不可替代”。他说，内河运输具有运量大、物流成本相对较低等优势，尤其适合大宗货物运输。For businesses, the new canal is already dictating logistics and investment decisions.对于企业而言，平陆运河已经开始影响物流布局和投资决策。On Sept 8, a consignment of auto parts from Chinese vehicle manufacturer SAIC-GM-Wuling left Liuzhou for Nanning Port, before continuing by ship through the Pinglu Canal to reach Can Tho Port in Vietnam.9月8日，中国汽车制造商上汽通用五菱的一批汽车零部件从柳州出发，运抵南宁港，随后通过平陆运河水运前往越南芹苴港。The company said the new river-sea route could cut its logistics costs by about 10 percent. "For us, the freight saved is real profit, and that translates directly into greater price competitiveness in ASEAN and other global markets," said Cai Yan, a senior technical officer at SAIC-GM-Wuling.该公司表示，这条江海联运新线路可帮助企业降低约10%的物流成本。上汽通用五菱高级技术主管蔡艳表示：“对我们而言，节省下来的运费就是实实在在的利润，也直接转化为我们在东盟及其他全球市场上的价格竞争力。”The canal has added waterway to the company's existing road and rail transportation options, giving it more flexibility as it expands its business and production links across Southeast Asia, Cai said.蔡艳表示，平陆运河为公司现有公路和铁路运输方式增加了水运选择，使企业在拓展东南亚业务和生产联系过程中拥有更大的灵活性。The new route is being factored into investment plans of companies.这一新航线也正被纳入企业投资规划。About 50 km from the Pinglu Canal's northern end, French chemicals producer SNF Group is building a plant in Nanning's Liujing Industrial Park, with an annual capacity of 370,000 tons.距离平陆运河北端约50公里的南宁市六景工业园区，法国化工企业SNF集团正在建设一座年产能37万吨的工厂。The factory, which will be the group's largest production base in southern China, is expected to start operations in stages before June 2027.该工厂将成为该集团在中国南方最大的生产基地，预计将在2027年6月前分阶段投入运营。"The Pinglu Canal will reduce our logistics costs and enable convenient delivery to South China and all of Southeast Asia. It offers great advantages in both materials sourcing and product distribution," said Thomas Wilsius, head of the company's Nanning project.该公司南宁项目负责人托马斯·威尔休斯表示：“平陆运河将降低我们的物流成本，使产品能够更加便捷地运往华南地区和整个东南亚市场。无论是在原材料采购还是产品配送方面，它都具有明显优势。”The waterway is likely to bring more Southeast Asian products to the Chinese market.这条水运通道也有望推动更多东南亚产品进入中国市场。Philippine Ambassador to China Jaime A. FlorCruz, who visited the canal with a group of ASEAN envoys in July, said that fresh seafood and other time-sensitive products could be exported more efficiently from his country to China.菲律宾驻华大使海梅·A·弗洛克鲁斯7月曾率东盟国家驻华使节团参访平陆运河。他表示，菲律宾的新鲜海产品以及其他对时效要求较高的产品，未来可以更加高效地出口到中国。"In the long run, this will benefit not only the local people, but the broader region and even the world," he said, adding that shorter shipping distances, lower freight costs and faster deliveries would bring tangible benefits to fishermen, farmers, traders and entrepreneurs.他说：“从长远来看，这不仅将惠及当地民众，也将惠及更广泛的地区乃至全世界。”他指出，更短的航程、更低的运输成本以及更快的交付速度，将为渔民、农民、贸易商和企业家带来切实收益。For Shen Guiping, a resident of Shangjing village in Qinzhou, who took part in relocation work for the project, the opening of the Pinglu Canal carries a more personal meaning.对于参与该项目搬迁工作的钦州市上京村居民沈桂平而言，平陆运河的开通有着更加特殊的意义。"It almost feels like a dream that has finally been realized. It is something generations of locals hoped for," she said.“感觉像是一场终于实现的梦想，这是当地几代人一直期盼的事情。”她说。【词汇提炼】shortcut /ˈʃɔːtkʌt/ n.捷径；便捷通道landlocked /ˈlændlɒkt/ adj.内陆的；无出海口的logistics /ləˈdʒɪstɪks/ n.物流；运输管理multimodal /ˌmʌltiˈməʊdl/ adj.多式联运的；综合运输的corridor /ˈkɒrɪdɔː(r)/ n.通道；走廊；经济带gateway /ˈɡeɪtweɪ/ n.门户；枢纽infrastructure /ˈɪnfrəstrʌktʃər/ n.基础设施hinterland /ˈhɪntəlænd/ n.腹地；内陆地区consignment /kənˈsaɪnmənt/ n.货物；托运物

Munich's 2026 security conference adopted "Under Destruction" as its theme, reflecting anxiety about a fraying international order and uncertain transatlantic relations. The Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, meanwhile, was dominated by concerns about strategic competition, alliances and regional defense commitments.慕尼黑2026年安全会议以“毁灭之下”（Under Destruction）为主题，反映出国际秩序日益脆弱以及跨大西洋关系不确定性加剧所带来的焦虑。与此同时，在新加坡举行的香格里拉对话会，则充斥着对战略竞争、联盟关系以及地区防务承诺的担忧。Much of modern Western security thinking was forged in a world of rival European powers, colonial frontiers, industrial warfare and limited economic interdependence. It treats international anarchy and power competition as enduring facts, with alliances among like-minded states the bulwark to protect privileges.现代西方安全理念，很大程度上形成于一个充满欧洲列强竞争、殖民边界争夺、工业化战争以及有限经济相互依赖的时代。这一理念将国际无政府状态和大国竞争视为长期存在的现实，并认为志同道合国家之间的联盟，是维护自身利益和优势的支柱。NATO remains the clearest expression of this. But collective protection for alliance members is not the same as security for everyone. A system designed for the strategic anxieties of the Cold War cannot automatically answer the needs of a world in which threats and interests cross almost every border.北约仍是这一理念最鲜明的体现。然而，联盟成员之间的集体防护，并不等同于所有国家都能获得安全。一个为冷战时期战略焦虑而设计的体系，无法自动回应这样一个世界的需求——在今天，威胁和利益几乎跨越所有国界相互交织。Today's dangers do not respect cozy club membership. Climate change, pandemics, cyberattacks, supply-chain disruptions, terrorism and the risks associated with artificial intelligence are shared hazards. Economic globalization has made national prosperity dependent on distant markets, energy routes and production networks. A disruption in one region can quickly become inflation, unemployment or political instability in another.当今世界面临的风险，并不会因为某些国家不属于特定“俱乐部”而避开它们。气候变化、疫情、网络攻击、供应链中断、恐怖主义，以及人工智能带来的风险，都是全人类共同面对的挑战。经济全球化使各国繁荣越来越依赖遥远的市场、能源通道和生产网络。一个地区的危机，很快可能演变为另一个地区的通货膨胀、失业或政治不稳定。The 13th Beijing Xiangshan Forum, as illustrated by its theme — "Build Consensus on Stability, Advance Security Governance Together" — is less downbeat and more constructive than the Munich and Singapore security gatherings. Its agenda places the inclusion of developing countries in global rule-making, as well as AI governance and the security of maritime corridors and of cyber and outer space, alongside conventional questions of strategic stability.第十三届北京香山论坛的主题是“以共识谋稳定，以合作促治理”，相比慕尼黑安全会议和新加坡香格里拉对话，其基调更为积极，也更具建设性。论坛议题不仅涵盖传统战略稳定问题，还包括发展中国家参与全球规则制定、人工智能治理，以及海上通道、网络空间和外层空间安全等议题。At the opening of the forum on Wednesday, China's Defense Minister Dong Jun noted that stability should be defended through true multilateralism, with the United Nations at the center and international law as the rule book. The lessons of two world wars and today's conflicts, he said, point to the importance of preventing crises before they erupt. He also urged vigilance against hegemonism, militarism and historical revisionism.中国国防部长董军在论坛开幕式上表示，应通过真正的多边主义维护稳定，以联合国为核心，以国际法为准则。他指出，两次世界大战的教训以及当前发生的冲突表明，防止危机发生在先，比危机爆发后再应对更为重要。他同时呼吁警惕霸权主义、军国主义和历史修正主义。Yet the security policy of some developed countries often reaches first for the old instruments: alliances and exclusive partnerships, higher military spending and forward deployments. In this way the security dilemma becomes self-perpetuating. Measures presented as defensive by one side are interpreted as offensive by another, producing countermeasures that prompt further actions from the other side, leaving everyone less secure. The history of NATO's post-Cold War enlargement and the subsequent conflict in Ukraine illustrates how incompatible security narratives can become mutually reinforcing. In Asia, Japan's importing of similarly exclusive strategic logic risks turning a region of extraordinary economic interdependence into a theater of bloc rivalry.然而，一些发达国家的安全政策往往首先选择传统工具：联盟体系、排他性伙伴关系、更高军费投入以及前沿军事部署。由此，安全困境不断自我强化。一方认为是防御措施的行动，另一方可能将其解读为进攻行为，并采取反制措施，从而促使对方进一步行动，最终导致所有方面临更低的安全水平。北约冷战后的扩张历史以及随后乌克兰冲突的发展，说明了相互冲突的安全叙事如何可能彼此强化。在亚洲，日本引入类似排他性的战略逻辑，也可能使一个经济高度相互依存的地区逐渐成为集团竞争的舞台。China's Global Security Initiative offers a different framework. Its principles of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security place dialogue above confrontation, partnership above alliance and shared security above zero-sum games. It stresses sovereignty, the UN Charter, attention to the legitimate security concerns of all countries and the integration of traditional and nontraditional security. Development, in this conception, is not separate from security, but one of its foundations.中国提出的全球安全倡议提供了另一种框架。该倡议强调共同安全、综合安全、合作安全和可持续安全，其核心理念是以对话取代对抗，以伙伴关系取代联盟，以共同安全取代零和博弈。该倡议强调维护主权、遵守《联合国宪章》、关注所有国家的合理安全关切，并推动传统安全与非传统安全相结合。在这一理念中，发展并非安全之外的因素，而是安全的重要基础。The appeal of this approach is particularly evident to the Global South, where economic development, political stability, food and energy security often outrank military threats. The wide support for the approach suggests a demand for security arrangements that are less exclusive and more responsive to countries outside established strategic clubs.这一理念在全球南方国家中的吸引力尤为明显。在这些国家，经济发展、政治稳定、粮食和能源安全往往比军事威胁更加紧迫。相关理念获得的广泛支持表明，国际社会需要更加开放、更能回应非传统战略集团之外国家需求的安全安排。Hegemonism — whether justified in the language of intervention or an allegedly exclusive "rules-based order" — remains dangerous. So does the new militarism and historical revisionism of Japan's Sanae Takaichi government, which risks reviving anxieties about that country's aggression in the Asia-Pacific.无论是以“干涉”为名义，还是以所谓排他的“基于规则的秩序”为理由，霸权主义依然具有危险性。同样值得警惕的，还有日本高市政府所表现出的新军国主义倾向和历史修正主义倾向，这可能重新激起国际社会对日本在亚太地区侵略历史的担忧。The questions are unavoidable. In an age of globalization, why persist with zero-sum security? If the UN system, forged in the crucible of two world wars, is treated as optional, has humanity forgotten the price of its past follies? And why allow AI, outer space and cyberspace to become new battlegrounds for old strategic habits? These domains should be arenas for cooperation, collective rule-making and common security, not the next frontiers of an arms race.一些问题无法回避：在全球化时代，为何仍要坚持零和式安全理念？如果在两次世界大战惨痛教训中建立起来的联合国体系被视为可有可无，人类是否已经忘记过去错误所付出的代价？为什么要让人工智能、外层空间和网络空间成为旧有战略竞争模式的新战场？这些领域应该成为合作、共同制定规则和实现共同安全的平台，而不应成为军备竞赛的新前沿。The future will not echo the voice broadcasting the loudest warnings, but will instead belong to whoever recognizes that true security never mistakes the world of yesterday for the world of today.未来并不会属于那些发出最响亮警告的声音，而属于那些认识到真正安全从不应以昨天的世界来衡量今天世界的人。【词汇提炼】fray /freɪ/ v.磨损；削弱；逐渐恶化anarchy /ˈænəki/ n.无政府状态；混乱rival /ˈraɪvl/ n./v.竞争者；竞争bulwark /ˈbʊlwɜːrk/ n.支柱；屏障；防御力量interdependence /ˌɪntərdɪˈpendəns/ n.相互依赖disruption /dɪsˈrʌpʃn/ n.中断；扰乱；冲击hegemonism /hɪˈɡemənɪzəm/ n.霸权主义zero-sum /ˌzɪərəʊ ˈsʌm/ adj.零和的

Foreign Minister Wang Yi encouraged Iran and the United States on Wednesday to act rationally and exercise restraint, return to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and rebuild the negotiation mechanism, saying that the continued prolongation of the US-Iran conflict is not in the common interest of the parties concerned and the international community.中国外交部长王毅星期三敦促伊朗和美国保持理性、克制，回到《伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录》的框架内，重建谈判机制。他表示，美伊冲突持续延宕不符合有关各方以及国际社会的共同利益。Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks during talks in Beijing with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi.王毅同时担任中共中央政治局委员。他在北京同伊朗外交部长赛义德·阿巴斯·阿拉格齐举行会谈时作出上述表示。Since Israel and the US launched joint strikes on Iran on Feb 28, the two foreign ministers have spoken by phone several times. Wednesday's talks marked their second in-person meeting in Beijing since then. They also met in Kyrgyzstan in July.自2月28日以色列和美国对伊朗发动联合打击以来，两国外长已多次通过电话沟通。此次会谈是双方此后第二次在北京举行面对面会晤，双方此前还于7月在吉尔吉斯斯坦举行会谈。Signed by Iran and the US on June 18 following negotiations facilitated by Pakistan, the MoU launched a 60-day window for reaching a final agreement. The window expired on Aug 17, with the two sides nowhere close to determining how to move forward.在巴基斯坦斡旋推动下，伊朗和美国于6月18日签署《谅解备忘录》，并开启为期60天的达成最终协议窗口期。然而，该期限于8月17日结束，双方仍未就下一步行动方向达成一致。Wang urged the US and Iran to conduct substantive consultations on their respective concerns on the basis of the understandings reached so far.王毅呼吁美伊双方在此前达成共识的基础上，围绕各自关切开展实质性磋商。As a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, China is ready to play a constructive role in resolving international disputes, he said.他说，中国作为联合国安理会常任理事国，愿为解决国际争端发挥建设性作用。Describing China and Iran as comprehensive strategic partners, he said that China stands ready to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with Iran and help safeguard the country's legitimate rights and interests.王毅表示，中伊是全面战略合作伙伴，中方愿进一步加强同伊朗的对话与合作，帮助维护伊朗的合法权益。Wang expressed support for dialogue between Iran and the Gulf countries, adding that all sides should respect each other's territorial sovereignty and national security, as well as safeguard the common interests of the region in a constructive manner.王毅支持伊朗与海湾国家开展对话，并表示，各方应相互尊重领土主权和国家安全，以建设性方式维护地区共同利益。He also called on all parties to take effective measures to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as soon as possible, safeguard the security and smooth operation of international shipping routes and maintain the stability of international energy transportation, as well as industrial and supply chains.他还呼吁有关各方采取有效措施，尽快恢复霍尔木兹海峡开放，保障国际航运安全畅通，维护国际能源运输以及产业链、供应链稳定。China does not want tensions in the region to spill over further into Yemen and the Red Sea, Wang noted, calling on all parties to stop further complicating the situation and resolve issues through dialogue and negotiations.王毅指出，中国不希望地区紧张局势进一步外溢至也门和红海。他呼吁各方避免使局势进一步复杂化，通过对话和谈判解决问题。Wang said that the current situation once again demonstrates that the existing security architecture in the Middle East is incomplete and needs to be reformed and strengthened.王毅表示，当前局势再次表明，中东现有安全架构并不完善，需要改革和加强。During his visit to Egypt earlier this month, President Xi Jinping put forward a four-point proposal on building a new security architecture in the Middle East via upholding a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security.本月早些时候，习近平主席访问埃及时，提出了通过坚持共同、综合、合作、可持续安全理念，构建中东新安全架构的四点主张。China welcomes the useful explorations made by regional countries in this regard, Wang said.王毅表示，中方欢迎地区国家在这一方向上开展的有益探索。Noting that China's policy toward Iran remains consistent and stable, he said China has always stood for fairness and justice at the UN Security Council and other multilateral platforms, opposed the use of force and upheld the norms governing international relations.王毅指出，中国对伊朗政策始终保持连续性和稳定性。中国始终在联合国安理会等多边平台上维护公平正义，反对诉诸武力，维护国际关系基本准则。As a responsible major country, China will continue to contribute to peace and stability, promote talks for peace and uphold fairness and justice in the Middle East, he added.他说，作为负责任的大国，中国将继续为维护和平稳定、推动和平谈判、维护中东地区公平正义发挥积极作用。Araghchi said that Iran does not want the conflict to continue and hopes to return to diplomatic channels while firmly safeguarding its rights and interests. He said that Iran believes the Islamabad MoU remains valid, adding that Iran has reached an arrangement with Oman on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and that the US should honor its commitments.阿拉格齐表示，伊朗不希望冲突继续下去，希望回到外交轨道，同时坚定维护自身权利和利益。他说，伊朗认为《伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录》仍然有效，并表示伊朗已就重新开放霍尔木兹海峡问题同阿曼达成安排，美国也应履行相关承诺。He added that Iran is ready to engage in dialogue and consultations with regional countries, establish and develop good-neighborly relations, and work for the early restoration of peace and stability in the region.他表示，伊朗愿同地区国家开展对话磋商，建立和发展睦邻友好关系，为地区和平与稳定早日恢复作出努力。Araghchi welcomed and supported the four-point proposal on promoting peace and stability in the Middle East and the four-point proposal on promoting common security in the region put forward by Xi. The Iranian foreign minister expressed Iran's readiness to strengthen cooperation with China within this framework and its expectation that China will play a greater role in promoting regional peace and stability.阿拉格齐欢迎并支持习近平提出的推动中东和平稳定四点主张以及促进地区共同安全四点倡议。他表示，伊朗愿在这一框架下加强同中国合作，并期待中国在推动地区和平稳定方面发挥更大作用。Experts said that the volatile situation in the Middle East has seriously affected international peace and development, and seeking a solution through diplomatic channels remains a realistic option.有关专家表示，中东局势动荡已对国际和平与发展造成严重影响，通过外交渠道寻求解决方案仍是一种现实选择。Li Zixin, an assistant research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies, said that Iran's reaffirmation of the memorandum's validity has kept a window open for future political engagement between the two sides. All parties should seize the opportunity to restart political dialogue rather than intensify military confrontation and economic coercion, Li said.中国国际问题研究院助理研究员李子欣表示，伊朗重申《谅解备忘录》的有效性，为双方未来开展政治接触保留了空间。她认为，各方应抓住机会，重新启动政治对话，而不是加剧军事对抗和经济施压。Niu Xinchun, executive director of the China-Arab Research Institute at Ningxia University, said that China has been actively promoting peace talks since the conflict began. China does not pursue geopolitical self-interest or bloc confrontation and takes into account the reasonable security concerns of all parties, he said, adding that its initiatives offer a viable path toward addressing the security dilemma in the Middle East.宁夏大学中国阿拉伯国家研究院执行院长牛新春表示，冲突发生以来，中国一直积极推动和平谈判。他表示，中国不谋求地缘政治利益，也不寻求集团对抗，而是兼顾各方合理安全关切；相关倡议为解决中东安全困境提供了一条可行路径。【词汇提炼】rational /ˈræʃənl/ adj.理性的；合理的restraint /rɪˈstreɪnt/ n.克制；约束mechanism /ˈmekənɪzəm/ n.机制；体系memorandum /ˌmeməˈrændəm/ n.备忘录；协议文件Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)谅解备忘录substantive /səbˈstæntɪv/ adj.实质性的；重要的architecture /ˈɑːrkɪtektʃər/ n.架构；体系multilateral /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəl/ adj.多边的

President Xi Jinping has called on the country's police officers to remain committed to serving the people, be loyal guardians of the Party and the people, and demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility and dedication.Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks in a reply letter to a primary-level police force in Zhangzhou, Fujian province.Recently, members of the "Zhangzhou 110" police unit wrote to Xi, reporting on their work and expressing their determination to fulfill duties on the new journey.In his reply letter, Xi lauded the unit's police officers for their dedication and hard work at the grassroots level in serving the public and maintaining social stability for the people.He emphasized that the police bear the important responsibility of safeguarding the people's well-being and the country's peace, calling on police officers nationwide to uphold fine traditions, devote themselves to wholeheartedly addressing the needs and concerns of the people, and work diligently to protect the safety of the public.In China, "Dial 110 in case of emergency" is a well-known phrase. The "Zhangzhou 110" unit is one of the exemplary primary-level units within China's police forces.Since 1990, it has pioneered and continuously improved a rapid response mechanism tied to the 110 police emergency call service, playing a significant role in combating crime, maintaining public security and serving the community.While working in Fujian in the 1990s, Xi visited the police unit three times to inspect and guide its work. During an inspection tour in 1996, Xi, who was then deputy secretary of the CPC Fujian Provincial Committee, emphasized that the work of the 110 police emergency call service is fundamental to serving the public, according to a report by the People's Daily Overseas Edition.The emergency call service is an important channel for the Party committee to connect with the people, and it also strengthens the bond between public security agencies and the people, Xi said at that time, praising the unit's police officers as "people's guardians".Previously, public security officers were considered to be mainly responsible for handling cases such as maintaining public order and combating crime. After the "Zhangzhou 110"police unit was established, citizens found they could also seek assistance from the police for such matters as helping elderly people who lose their way return home, or mediating neighborhood disputes.However, there were discussions in the unit about the duties of police. In one case, a local pregnant woman dialed 110 to ask the police to take her to the hospital, since her family members were away and she was about to deliver. Police officers helped her, but some complained that they worked like housekeepers instead of police.A lively debate led to a consensus: As people's police under the leadership of the Party, serving the public is an unshirkable duty. Consequently, the "Zhangzhou 110" police unit established a principle: "The people's difficulties are our difficulties, and the people's satisfaction is our greatest wish."Over the years, the "Zhangzhou 110" police unit has made many institutional innovations and reforms. It has also improved its speed in handling incidents with the help of modern technology."Compared to fighting crime, it's more often that we offer assistance to ordinary people. When we respond one second earlier, that's one second sooner that the public can feel at ease," said Wang Shaohui, a police officer of the "Zhangzhou 110" unit.Wan Lin, another officer in the unit, said that upon reading the reply letter from Xi, he felt greatly inspired."General Secretary Xi emphasized in the letter that the police bear the important responsibility of safeguarding the people's well-being and the country's peace. This has provided direction and injected strong motivation for us young police officers to fulfill our duties," Wan said."I will respond to every call for help and resolve every dispute with care and dedication, ensuring peace and tranquility in our community," he added.

The Ping lu Canal, a major waterway linking inland areas of Southwest China with the sea, officially opened to navigation on Wednesday in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.平陆运河，作为连通中国西南内陆与海洋的重大水运通道，今天在华南广西壮族自治区正式通航。Spanning 134.2 kilometers, the canal connects the Xijiang River system, a significant inland shipping artery in southern China, with the Beibu Gulf, providing inland areas of Southwest China with more direct access to the sea.运河全长 134.2 公里，连通中国南方重要内河航运干线西江水系与北部湾，为中国西南内陆地区打通更为直接的出海通道。This canal is China's first nationally planned canal since 1949, designed to grant inland waterways direct access to the sea.这是 1949 年以来中国首条国家规划运河，旨在实现内河航道直接通海。Construction began on Aug 28, 2022, with a total investment of approximately 72.7 billion yuan ($10.83 billion). The canal is designed to accommodate vessels of up to 5,000 metric tons.工程于 2022 年 8 月 28 日开工，总投资约 727 亿元人民币（折合 108.3 亿美元）。运河可通行 5000 吨级船舶。As a key component of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, the canal offers a shorter water route from parts of Southwest China to the coast. For some cargo, it will reduce the inland shipping distance to the sea by more than 560 kilometers.作为西部陆海新通道的关键组成部分，这条运河为中国西南部分地区提供更短的出海水运线路。部分货物的内河出海航程可缩短 560 公里以上。The new route also provides western China with more direct access to ports on the Beibu Gulf, strengthening transport links between inland areas and overseas markets.这条新通道也让中国西部可以更便捷通达北部湾港口，强化内陆地区与海外市场的运输联系。canal /kəˈnæl/ 运河navigation /ˌnævɪˈɡeɪʃn/ 通航；航行inland /ˈɪnlænd/ 内陆的vessel /ˈvesl/ 船舶

平陆运河为何是世纪工程 广西明明靠海，为什么还要修一条运河去“找”海？因为对广西人来说，海近在眼前；但对货物来说，西江与北部湾之间一直缺少一条直接向南的水路。为了打通这关键的134.2公里，工程要穿过群山、跨越约65米水位落差，还要让5000吨级船舶安全通行。平陆运河通航后，广西将多一条更直接的向海水路，中国西南多一种连接海洋的选择，并由北部湾进一步通往东盟和世界。134.2公里并不长，却正在重新丈量中国西南与大海、与世界之间的距离。#平陆运河 #新中国首条通江达海运河工程 #超级工程

The BRICS summit in New Delhi strengthened common ground among major Global South countries on development, cooperation, multilateralism and global governance reform amid global volatility and recurring regional conflicts, officials and analysts said as President Xi Jinping concluded a two-day visit to India on Sunday.The summit, which brought Xi and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi together for their third consecutive year of bilateral talks, also gave fresh impetus to improving relations between the two neighbors, with broader implications for regional stability and Global South cooperation, they said.Speaking to reporters upon the conclusion of Xi's visit, Foreign Minister Wang Yi described the trip as a major diplomatic engagement with Global South countries in the opening year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period.Coming after Xi's visits to Central Asia and the Middle East earlier this month, the trip was strategically significant for advancing high-quality cooperation within the expanded BRICS grouping and strengthening Global South solidarity, Wang said.In less than 24 hours in the Indian capital, Xi attended nearly 10 events, discussed development and cooperation with BRICS leaders, and held in-depth talks with Modi to chart the course of bilateral relations, Wang said.This year marks the 20th anniversary of BRICS cooperation.At the summit, Xi said solidarity and cooperation had always been the source of the grouping's strength.He called on BRICS countries to take a leading role in innovation-driven development, safeguarding peace and stability, promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and reforming and improving global governance.At a new historical juncture, Xi had responded to the high expectations of Global South countries by reaffirming the historic mission of BRICS cooperation and charting its future course, Wang said, noting that Xi's urging elevated the strategic importance of BRICS cooperation and bolstered members' resolve and confidence to seek strength through solidarity.Speaking at a media briefing on Saturday, Sudhakar Dalela, secretary for economic relations at India's Ministry of External Affairs, said that there was a broad convergence among BRICS leaders on the need to strengthen multilateralism and to make global governance institutions more representative, inclusive, effective and responsive to today's realities.To bolster the strength of the Global South, Xi said during the summit that Global South countries should jointly defend the rule of law in international affairs, hold high the banner of multilateralism, remain committed to a people-centered development philosophy and jointly advance security governance.He proposed five initiatives for "greater BRICS" cooperation in artificial intelligence, trade and investment facilitation, digital industry, intelligent manufacturing and talent development.Lawrence Loh, director of the Centre for Governance and Sustainability at National University of Singapore's Business School, said "greater BRICS" distinguished itself through concrete plans to benefit people in countries beyond its membership."The BRICS summit has a broader implied message for the international community — global development cannot be based on a zero-sum game mentality where development is pursued at the expense of others," he said.Swaran Singh, a former professor of international relations at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi, India, said that Xi had presented "greater BRICS" as a platform for a more multipolar, rules-based order, with a strong emphasis on practical cooperation.He said Xi's proposals overlapped significantly with India's own emphasis on technology, resilient supply chains and a stronger role for the Global South in shaping international affairs.With China set to assume BRICS' rotating presidency for the fourth time next year, Wang said the country would remain committed to, rooted in and supportive of the Global South, sharing opportunities and pursuing common development on the path toward modernization.The bilateral meeting between Xi and Modi, following their talks in the Russian city of Kazan in 2024 and Tianjin in northern China in 2025, also brought the direction of China-India relations into focus.Wang said the two leaders held candid, in-depth exchanges on strategic and long-term issues shaping bilateral relations, with their most important consensus being that China and India should be partners.Under the leaders' strategic guidance, ties have gradually emerged from a low point, with an expanding range of cooperation, record bilateral trade and more active people-to-people exchanges, Wang said.Improved relations serve the interests of the two countries' more than 2.8 billion people and are also important for strengthening Global South cooperation, he added.India's Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Saturday that the leaders welcomed the steady progress in relations since their Tianjin meeting and reaffirmed the need to take a strategic and long-term perspective on the bilateral ties."Differences should not become disputes," the statement said.Wang said that each country's development offers opportunities for the other, and that China-India cooperation has significance far beyond bilateral ties, with implications for the Global South and the world as a whole.He urged both sides to build on the hard-won improvement and implement the leaders' consensus to contribute to regional and global peace and prosperity.multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/n. 多边主义solidarity /ˌsɒlɪˈdærəti/n. 团结；同心协力multipolar /ˌmʌltiˈpəʊlə(r)/adj. 多极的bilateral /ˌbaɪˈlætərəl/adj. 双边的

The State Council, China's Cabinet, has launched an investigation into the major fire that occurred at a shipyard in Qingdao, Shandong province, on Thursday, killing 25 people and injuring five, the Ministry of Emergency Management announced on Monday.应急管理部周一通报，9 月 10 日，山东省青岛市一处造船厂发生重大火灾事故，造成 25 人遇难、5 人受伤，国务院已成立调查组对该事故开展调查。A State Council investigation team, led by the ministry, held its first plenary meeting on Monday.由应急管理部牵头的国务院事故调查组于 周一召开第一次全体会议。The meeting set out the investigation plan and called for investigators to identify the cause of the accident as soon as possible.会议研究制定了调查方案，要求调查组尽快查明事故原因。Before the meeting began, all the participants observed a moment of silence for the victims of the accident.会议开始前，全体与会人员向事故遇难者默哀。Song Yuanming, deputy director of the Office of the State Council Work Safety Committee and vice-minister of emergency management, chaired the meeting.国务院事故调查组组长、国务院安委会办公室副主任、应急管理部副部长宋元明主持会议。The investigation will not only examine the cause of the fire, but also determine whether the shipyard, industry supervision and local authorities had acted responsibly.调查不仅要查清火灾事故原因，还要核查涉事船厂、行业监管部门以及地方政府是否履职尽责。Those found responsible for the accident will be held accountable in accordance with the law, the announcement said.通报称，对事故相关责任人员，将依法依规追究责任。The inquiry will follow the principles of scientific rigor, compliance with laws and regulations, seeking truth from facts and focusing on practical results.调查工作坚持科学严谨、依法依规、实事求是、注重实效的原则。The authorities were also urged to draw broader lessons from the accident.同时要求各方深刻汲取事故教训。Local governments, relevant departments and centrally administered State-owned enterprises were told to strengthen workplace safety and step up inspections for fire hazards.要求地方政府、相关部门以及中央国有企业强化安全生产，加大火灾隐患排查力度。Investigators will also pay particular attention to subcontracting and illegal practices connected with it.调查组将重点关注分包以及相关违法违规行为。The meeting called for wider safety checks in sectors including hazardous chemicals, mining, industry and trade, transportation, construction and special equipment, in an effort to prevent serious accidents.会议要求，在危化品、矿山、工贸、交通运输、建筑施工、特种设备等行业领域开展全面安全排查，防范重特大事故发生。The fire broke out at around 11:15 am on Thursday aboard a foreign cargo vessel undergoing repairs at China State Shipbuilding Corporation Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Co.9 月 10 日上午 11 时 15 分许，中国船舶集团青岛北海造船有限公司一艘正在维修的外籍货轮发生火灾。Authorities have not yet disclosed the nationality of the vessel or of those killed or injured.有关部门尚未公布涉事船舶以及伤亡人员的国籍。There were 42 people aboard the vessel when the fire broke out. Twelve managed to evacuate, while 30 others were trapped.火灾发生时船上共有 42 人，12 人成功撤离，30 人被困。The blaze was extinguished at around 2:30 pm.明火于当日下午 2 时 30 分许被扑灭。Provincial and Qingdao authorities immediately activated emergency response mechanisms, mobilizing emergency management, fire and rescue, public security, health and industry bodies to carry out rescue operations.山东省及青岛市立即启动应急响应，调集应急管理、消防救援、公安、卫健、工信等各方力量开展救援。By 7:24 pm that day, the search and rescue operation had concluded, with all 30 trapped people found.截至当日 19 时 24 分，搜救工作结束，30 名被困人员全部找到。The five injured were taken to hospital, where they remain in stable condition, while 25 were confirmed dead.5 名伤者送医救治，目前伤情稳定；25 人不幸遇难。Experts specializing in fire investigations from five provincial-level regions arrived at the site early on Friday to conduct preliminary inspections and analysis.来自 5 个省级地区的火灾调查专家于 9 月 11 日一早抵达现场，开展初步勘查与分析。The investigation team includes representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Transport, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the National Fire and Rescue Administration and the Shandong provincial government.调查组包含外交部、工业和信息化部、公安部、交通运输部、国务院国有资产监督管理委员会、中华全国总工会、国家消防救援局以及山东省政府相关代表。Officials from relevant departments of the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Commission of Supervision, as well as the Supreme People's Procuratorate, attended the meeting.中央纪委国家监委相关部门、最高人民检察院派员参加会议。investigation /ɪnˌvestɪˈɡeɪʃn/n. 调查subcontracting /ˌsʌbkənˈtræktɪŋ/n. 分包；转包hazard /ˈhæzəd/n. 隐患，危险accountable /əˈkaʊntəbl/adj. 负有责任的

A Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman on Monday voiced opposition to a joint military exercise involving Japan, the United States and Australia, as well as Japan's forward deployment of long-range offensive weapons, saying such moves increase the risk of military confrontation in the region.中国国防部发言人周一表示，反对日本、美国、澳大利亚举行联合军演，以及日本前沿部署远程进攻性武器，称此类举动会加剧地区军事对抗风险。Jiang Bin, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, made the remarks in response to reports that Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force is conducting a joint exercise, dubbed "Oriental Shield 26", with the US and Australian armies in Hokkaido and Kagoshima from Sept 8 to 24.国防部发言人蒋斌作出上述表态，回应有关报道。报道称，日本陆上自卫队将于 9 月 8 日至 24 日，在北海道和鹿儿岛同美澳陆军举行代号为 “东方盾牌 26” 的联合演习。The US Typhon mid-range missile system will participate in the exercise for the first time, according to reports, raising concerns among countries in the region.据报道，美国 “堤丰” 中导系统将首次参演，引发地区国家担忧。Jiang said the exercise is being used to advance the deployment of long-range offensive weapons under the guise of a "shield", undermining the security interests of other countries and increasing the risk of an arms race and military confrontation in the region, thereby posing a serious threat to regional peace and stability.蒋斌表示，这场演习借 “盾牌” 之名推进远程进攻性武器部署，损害他国安全利益，加剧地区军备竞赛和军事对抗风险，对地区和平稳定构成严重威胁。"We firmly oppose this," Jiang said.蒋斌说：“我们对此坚决反对。”On Aug 31, Russia lodged a protest with the Japanese embassy in Russia over the joint military exercise.8 月 31 日，俄罗斯就此次联合军演向日本驻俄使馆提出抗议。Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sept 1 that deploying such weapons on Japanese territory, including under the pretext of military exercises, would threaten Russia's security and was "absolutely unacceptable" to Moscow. Russia would take countermeasures to ensure its national defense and security, she said.俄罗斯外交部发言人玛丽亚・扎哈罗娃 9 月 1 日表示，以军演等为借口在日本领土部署此类武器将威胁俄罗斯安全，俄方对此 “完全不能接受”。她说，俄罗斯将采取反制措施，保障本国国防与安全。China has also repeatedly expressed opposition to the deployment of US mid-range missile systems in Asian countries.中方也多次反对美国在亚洲国家部署中导系统。Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a news conference in May that China firmly opposes such deployments and has repeatedly expressed its concerns over the issue.中国外交部发言人郭嘉昆在 5 月的记者会上表示，中方坚决反对此类部署，并已就此多次表达关切。The Typhon missile system is a strategically offensive weapon that undermines the legitimate security interests of other countries, threatens regional strategic security and increases the risk of military confrontation and an arms race, Guo said.郭嘉昆称，“堤丰” 导弹系统属于战略性进攻武器，损害他国正当安全利益，威胁地区战略安全，加大军事对抗与军备竞赛风险。"It does nothing to promote regional peace and stability and is detrimental in every respect," Guo said.郭嘉昆表示：“这无助于维护地区和平稳定，百害而无一利。”Jiang also pointed out that Japan has repeatedly breached the principles of its pacifist constitution and its exclusively defense-oriented policy by developing long-range offensive weapons and stepping up its military activities overseas.蒋斌同时指出，日本研发远程进攻性武器、加紧海外军事活动，多次突破和平宪法原则与专守防卫政策。He criticized Japan's military expansion as moving toward a new form of militarism, saying it caters to the interests of countries outside the region while encouraging bloc confrontation and increasing tensions.他批评日本军事扩张朝着新型军国主义方向发展，迎合域外国家利益，煽动集团对抗，加剧紧张局势。"Any move that fuels Japan's military ambitions will only plunge the region into a dangerous vortex and will eventually bring harm to the country itself," Jiang said.蒋斌说：“任何助长日本军事野心的举动，只会将地区拖入危险漩涡，最终反噬其自身。”He urged the countries concerned to respect the security concerns of other countries, correct their erroneous practices and contribute positively to regional peace and stability through concrete actions.他敦促有关国家尊重他国安全关切，纠正错误做法，以实际行动为地区和平稳定发挥积极作用。spokesman /ˈspəʊksmən/n. 发言人confrontation /ˌkɒnfrʌnˈteɪʃn/n. 对抗militarism /ˈmɪlɪtərɪzəm/n. 军国主义vortex /ˈvɔːteks/n. 漩涡

China will continue to have a relatively abundant workforce, and sustained efforts will be made to foster a fertility-friendly society, Health Minister Lei Haichao said on Monday.国家卫生健康委主任雷海潮周一表示，我国劳动力供给总量仍将保持相对充裕，将持续推进生育友好型社会建设。Although China's total population has declined for four consecutive years, the country is still home to 1.405 billion people and will remain a major population power for years to come, Lei said during a news conference held by the State Council Information Office.雷海潮在国务院新闻办公室举行的新闻发布会上说，虽然我国总人口已连续四年下降，但人口总量仍有 14.05 亿，未来较长时期仍将保持人口大国地位。With more than 10 million students enrolling in colleges and universities each year — a sign of expanding access to higher education, Lei said the nation is building a growing workforce of highly skilled workers.雷海潮表示，我国每年高校入学新生超千万，体现高等教育普及水平持续提升，正在持续壮大高技能人才队伍。Meanwhile, the annual number of newborns has held at about 8 million, despite an overall downward trend.与此同时，虽然新生儿数量整体呈下行趋势，但每年新生儿数量稳定在 800 万左右。"Compared with other developed and developing countries, the number of nations with this level of births is still very small, so China will still have a relatively ample labor force in the future," he said.他说：“对比其他发达国家和发展中国家，能维持这一出生规模的国家为数不多，我国未来劳动力供给仍相对充裕。”Lei stressed that China will continue to roll out fertility-friendly measures to ease the burden of giving birth to, raising, and educating children.雷海潮强调，我国将持续出台生育支持举措，减轻生育、养育、教育负担。So far, more than 30 million families have benefited from the fertility subsidy policy launched last year.自去年出台生育补贴政策以来，已有超过 3000 万户家庭从中受益。Over the next five years, he said more efforts will be made to integrate nursery and kindergarten care services and to support communities and employers in setting up nursery care facilities, so that residents can access such services more conveniently and at an affordable price.他表示，未来五年，我国将进一步推进托幼一体化服务建设，支持社区和用人单位兴办托育设施，让群众能够便捷、普惠地获得托育服务。It is also important to promote a positive view on marriage and fertility, he added.他补充说，积极倡导婚恋观、生育观同样重要。workforce /ˈwɜːkfɔːs/n. 劳动力，劳动人口fertility /fəˈtɪləti/n. 生育；生育率consecutive /kənˈsekjətɪv/adj. 连续的nursery /ˈnɜːsəri/n. 托儿所，托育机构

Beijing has tightened restrictions on drones, prohibiting the possession and storage of drones and their core components across the city starting Nov 15 under a revised regulation adopted by the city's lawmakers.北京收紧无人机管控。根据市人大审议通过的修订条例，自 11 月 15 日起，全市范围内禁止持有、存放无人机及其核心零部件。The revised regulation, passed by the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, tightens controls on drones compared with the previous version, which took effect on May 1, as authorities move to strengthen airspace security in the capital.北京市人大常委会审议通过该修订条例。为强化首都空域安全，新版条例相比 5 月 1 日施行的旧条例，进一步收紧无人机管控措施。In line with the new rules, the entire administrative area of Beijing will be designated as controlled airspace for unmanned aircraft. Flights by unmanned aircraft will be prohibited across the city unless otherwise permitted under relevant regulations.按照新规，北京市全部行政区域划定为无人机管控空域。未经相关法规许可，全市范围内禁止无人机飞行。The possession and storage of drones and their core components will also be prohibited. Individuals and organizations will also be barred from transporting or carrying drones and their core components into Beijing.条例同时禁止持有、存放无人机及其核心零部件。任何个人、单位不得运输、携带无人机及其核心零部件进入北京。Exceptions will apply to special-purpose flights. Organizations involved in counterterrorism, public order, emergency rescue and disaster relief, major events, teaching, scientific research and manufacturing may conduct flights in accordance with relevant national regulations.专项飞行活动除外。反恐、维护公共秩序、应急抢险救灾、重大活动保障、教学、科研以及生产制造等相关单位，可依照国家有关规定开展飞行活动。Such organizations must establish safety management systems, clearly assign management responsibilities and take measures to prevent safety incidents, according to the revised regulation.修订条例规定，上述单位应当建立安全管理制度，明确管理责任，落实安全防控措施，防范安全事故发生。Beijing began implementing its drone management regulation on May 1, together with rules requiring authorities to verify information on drones. The verification work, which included registration of existing devices, was completed on July 31, according to the authorities.北京市原无人机管理条例于 5 月 1 日起实施，配套无人机信息核验工作同步开展，其中包含存量设备登记，该项核验已于 7 月 31 日完成。The current information-verification rules will cease to apply when the revised regulation takes effect.修订条例正式施行后，现行信息核验相关规定不再适用。To help residents dispose of drones already in Beijing before the Nov 15 deadline, authorities have opened several channels in addition to allowing owners to take their devices out of the city themselves.为方便市民在 11 月 15 日截止日期前处置已在京的无人机，有关部门开辟多条处置渠道，机主也可自行将设备携离本市。Drone owners can sell their aircraft to buyback companies certified by district-level governments or hand them over to government-designated recycling facilities. In either case, they can receive subsidies ranging from 100 yuan ($14.9) to 3,000 yuan per drone, in addition to the money received from selling the device.机主可将无人机出售给区级政府认定的回收企业，或移交政府指定回收机构。两种方式下，除设备出售所得款项外，每台无人机还可获得 100 元（14.9 美元）至 3000 元不等补贴。Another option is to send drones by China Post's EMS service to an address outside Beijing between Sept 12 and Nov 14, and the delivery fee will be waived after the equipment is verified.另一种处置方式：9 月 12 日至 11 月 14 日期间，可通过中国邮政 EMS 将无人机寄往北京以外地区，设备核验通过后免收快递费。Residents who choose to take their drones out of Beijing themselves must do so by Nov 15, using transportation such as civil aviation, rail or road services.选择自行携机离京的市民，须在 11 月 15 日前，通过民航、铁路、公路等交通方式完成转移。The revised regulation also establishes a citywide ban on drone storage. Unless otherwise provided by law or regulation, no organization or individual may establish a warehouse, temporary storage site or other storage facility for unmanned aircraft within Beijing.修订条例同时在全市范围内禁止存放无人机。法律法规另有规定的除外，任何单位和个人不得在本市设立无人机仓库、临时存放点等储存场所。Public security authorities will conduct inspections and take legal action against those who fail to move their drones out of Beijing by the deadline or illegally store them, according to the authorities.公安部门将开展巡查，对逾期未移出、违规存放无人机的相关主体依法处置。Beijing said it will continue routine controls over the city's airspace and provide policy guidance and services to help residents comply with the new requirements.北京方面表示，本市将持续开展空域常态化管控，并提供政策指引与配套服务，引导市民遵守新规。drone /drəʊn/n. 无人机unmanned /ʌnˈmænd/adj. 无人的regulation /ˌreɡjuˈleɪʃn/n. 条例，法规subsidy /ˈsʌbsədi/n. 补贴，补助金

President Xi Jinping unveiled five initiatives — covering the areas of artificial intelligence, trade and investment facilitation, digital industry, smart manufacturing, and talent development — to deepen practical cooperation among BRICS countries and bolster the collective strength of the Global South.Addressing the second session of the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi as he wrapped up his two-day participation in the gathering on Sunday, Xi stressed that a stronger foundation for cooperation was essential for the expanded grouping to achieve greater progress.He urged BRICS countries to leverage their close ties with emerging markets and Global South countries, pursuing open cooperation for mutual benefit while safeguarding stable and smooth industrial and supply chains.They should foster a larger integrated market, build incubators for innovation, upgrade traditional industries, develop emerging industries and deploy future industries, Xi added.China will be a pioneer in establishing a BRICS AI open source community, and it will support cooperation in developing and applying large language models, hold specialized AI seminars and training courses, and build an open AI ecosystem, Xi said.He proposed a BRICS special economic zone partnership under which countries could set up an intelligent portal, coordinate policies and build a new frontier for open development. China will also host the BRICS Forum on Trade in Services next year to cultivate new drivers of economic and trade cooperation.Furthermore, China will push for the establishment of a BRICS digital ecosystem cloud platform and conduct digital skills training, technological exchanges and industrial alignment to jointly advance the digital economy, Xi said.He expressed the country's readiness to assist fellow BRICS countries in building smart factories and developing standards and norms, jointly promoting manufacturing transformation and upgrading.Xi also proposed a BRICS engineer cultivation alliance for the joint development of engineers and mutual recognition of competency standards. China will launch a BRICS youth exchange program for scientific and technological innovation to cultivate more high-caliber talent.Noting that this year marks the launch of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), Xi said China will continue to pursue high-quality development, expand high-standard opening-up, implement the Global Development Initiative and advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation to share opportunities and prosper together with other countries.Liu Ying, a researcher at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China, said that as BRICS marks its 20th anniversary and moves toward its next "golden decade", China's five initiatives respond to the shared development needs of BRICS and the wider Global South.China has offered not just directions for cooperation, but also concrete platforms and mechanisms to implement it, she said, helping BRICS countries expand their international voice while strengthening their own development foundations.Openness and inclusiveness in AI especially matter, Liu said, as open-source cooperation, large-model development and talent training can help Global South countries access and apply AI as a foundational resource for national development — an effort that China's strengths in technology, industry and application can help make possible.China is practicing "developmental multilateralism" — combining capacity building with real development outcomes to help the Global South participate more fully in the new wave of technological and industrial change, and ultimately pushing the global system toward a fairer, more inclusive and balanced order, Liu added.As the Global South, with its collective rise, has become a key driver of world multipolarity, Xi said that to bring stability to the world and make it a better place, BRICS countries must seize the historical initiative, rally the Global South, be an active, stabilizing and positive force in international affairs, and advance the well-being of all humanity.He stressed that Global South countries should jointly defend the rule of law in international affairs, safeguarding sovereign equality, noninterference in internal affairs and the peaceful settlement of disputes, to ensure that international law and international rules are applied to all, free from double standards.Xi emphasized the need to uphold multilateralism and the authority and role of the United Nations, and to support multilateral institutions in advancing reform and increasing efficiency. World Trade Organization reform should proceed in the right direction, while the international financial architecture must be reformed and improved to increase developing countries' representation and voice, he added.Global South countries should remain committed to a people-centered development philosophy and strive to deliver on the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, he said.Addressing shared challenges, Xi said that Global South countries should work together to strengthen security governance, tackle traditional and nontraditional threats, and improve global climate governance.BRICS draws its growing influence from an inclusive approach that respects different development paths and promotes shared economic gains, said Lan Qingxin, director of the BRICS Research Center at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing.

The BRICS is emerging as a significant force in development and governance of artificial intelligence globally, experts say, highlighting its crucial role in championing the Global South's interests and bridging the digital divide.BRICS has evolved into a crucial mechanism for Global South nations to pursue shared development. With the rise of AI, the bloc has elevated technology governance as a key pillar of its agenda.BRICS members and the broader Global South regard AI as both an unprecedented opportunity and a strategic imperative. Jiang Tianjiao, a research fellow at the Center for Global AI Innovative Governance in Shanghai, said that these countries see developing AI as a way of increasing productivity, improving public services and narrowing the digital divide, but also as an essential path to reduce dependence on developed countries for technology, computing power and rules.A landmark move came at last year's BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the bloc issued its first leadership-level consensus document on global AI governance, The BRICS Leaders' Statement on the Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence. It underscored digital sovereignty and the right to development as central to global AI governance.The BRICS consensus serves as a crucial corrective to the global AI governance system, experts said.Jiang Qingquan, deputy director of the BRICS Economic Research Center at Xiamen University of Technology, said global AI governance discussions have often fixated on security risks, overlooking the more fundamental issue of the development gap."By enshrining the right to development as a governance principle, the BRICS statement compels the international community to address the crucial question: how to ensure all countries can access and use AI before discussing its regulation."BRICS places the right to development at the core of AI governance. Giving priority to capacity building for developing countries better aligns with the practical needs of Global South nations."He depicted the grouping's role as a "collective spokesperson for Global South AI governance".Despite varying strengths in AI technology, computing infrastructure and energy support, experts see these differences as a unique advantage for BRICS multilateral AI collaboration, potentially playing a significant role in bridging the global digital divide.Jiang Tianjiao underscored the complementary strengths among BRICS members in creating a "resources-technology-scenario energy" synergy. "China has a complete AI industrial chain and open-source model capabilities; Russia and India excel in algorithms and talent; Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa have abundant application scenarios in different sectors; and countries such as China and Brazil offer clean energy for high-energy-consuming computing power."This complementarity is translating into concrete mechanisms. In Bengaluru, India, in July, BRICS member nations signed an agreement on collaboration in standardization, the bloc's first collective foray into setting international AI standards.This initiative enables BRICS members to jointly shape international norms within standard-setting bodies, thereby amplifying the voice of emerging economies in frontier technologies governance, Jiang Qingquan said.BRICS is translating consensus into actionable cooperation mechanisms, with China playing a key role in driving this practical implementation, experts said.Addressing the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia, in 2024, President Xi Jinping announced the establishment of the China-BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center, expressing China's readiness to deepen collaboration on innovation with all BRICS countries to unleash the dividends of AI development."The center's establishment is about converting this vision into implementable cooperation mechanisms, ensuring BRICS countries become cocreators of innovation in the AI era," said Xu Shan, an expert at the China-BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center.The center has facilitated 55 supply-demand matching events for AI companies, promoting plans for international collaboration, she said. Its training programs have reached 105 senior officials in 58 countries, extending the benefits of BRICS collaboration to the wider Global South, she said.For the public at large, Xu said, AI cooperation can translate into tangible improvements: farmers in remote areas using AI-powered pest detection, grassroots hospitals drawing on AI-assisted diagnoses to help alleviate doctor shortages, and speakers of minority languages accessing intelligent services in their native tongues."The ultimate test of AI collaboration is whether people in BRICS and Global South countries can genuinely benefit from this technological revolution," Xu said. "That is the fundamental purpose of everything the center does."

This episode explores the changing dynamics of Teacher's Day as it marks its 42nd anniversary on September 10, 2026. What was once a simple exchange of appreciation has transformed into a high-stakes source of social anxiety for parents, students, and educators alike. We trace the history of this tradition across generations—from the analog era of hand-drawn paper cards built on physical effort to the digital age of video montages and social media tributes. We examine the psychological pressure of public performative gift-giving, the stark power dynamics faced by graduate students, and the quiet parallel anxiety experienced by teachers. The episode also looks at recent Ministry of Education mandates aimed at curbing empty formalism, ultimately returning to the core question: what is the true, enduring currency of the teaching profession?

China and the United States are in consultations on a framework arrangement for reciprocal tariff reductions covering products worth $30 billion from each side, with both countries working to bring the tariff cuts into effect at an early date, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.商务部周四表示，中美双方正在磋商一项相互减让关税的框架安排，涉及双方各 300 亿美元规模的产品，两国正努力推动关税减免尽早落地。Speaking at a weekly news conference in Beijing, Huang Ling, the ministry's spokeswoman, said that Chinese and US economic and trade teams are earnestly implementing the consensus reached by the two heads of state at their meeting in May in Beijing.商务部发言人黄玲在北京举行的例行新闻发布会上表示，中美经贸团队正在认真落实两国元首 5 月在北京会晤达成的共识。Experts said that the proposed tariff reductions are expected to cover products of mutual interest, with agricultural goods and industrial products among those under consideration.专家表示，拟议中的关税减免预计将覆盖双方共同关注的产品，农产品和工业产品都在考虑范围内。Continued dialogue and consultation can help manage differences, reduce trade frictions and work toward mutually beneficial outcomes, they said.专家称，持续对话磋商有助于管控分歧、减少贸易摩擦，争取实现互利共赢的结果。Fu Suixin, an associate researcher at the Institute of American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the recent interactions between China and the US, along with the establishment of bilateral trade and investment councils, have been significant in helping to stabilize relations and maintain channels of communication.中国社会科学院美国研究所副研究员表示，中美近期的互动，以及双边贸易投资委员会的设立，对稳定两国关系、保持沟通渠道畅通具有重要意义。"This does not mean the two sides have resolved their deep-seated differences over trade, technology and other issues," said Fu.“这并不意味着双方已经解决了在贸易、技术等领域根深蒂固的分歧，” 傅说。"Rather, these developments have reaffirmed the importance of maintaining high-level communication, managing differences and working toward a relationship characterized by constructive strategic stability."“相反，这些进展再次印证，保持高层沟通、管控分歧、构建具有建设性战略稳定的双边关系十分重要。”Da Wei, a professor of international relations at Tsinghua University in Beijing, shared a similar outlook. "Through dialogue, China and the US can work toward a more sustainable balance in their economic relationship by developing a clearer understanding of the scope and boundaries of bilateral economic ties," he said.清华大学国际关系教授达巍持相近看法。他表示：“通过对话，中美可以更加清晰地把握双边经贸关系的范围与边界，推动两国经贸关系实现更可持续的平衡。”This would involve identifying areas where closer economic ties remain mutually beneficial, areas where some separation may be necessary, and a level of economic engagement that is acceptable to both sides, said Da.达巍称，这其中包括界定哪些领域深化经贸联系仍可实现互利、哪些领域需要适度脱钩，以及找到双方都能接受的经贸交往水平。Despite persistent differences, bilateral trade has remained resilient. China's trade with the US reached 2.76 trillion yuan ($412 billion) in the first eight months of this year, up 1.3 percent year-on-year, according to data from the General Administration of Customs.尽管分歧依然存在，双边贸易仍展现韧性。海关总署数据显示，今年前 8 个月，中美贸易额达 2.76 万亿元人民币（合 4120 亿美元），同比增长 1.3%。In another development, France has been urged to immediately stop using its anti-ultrafast fashion law to undermine the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.另据消息，中方敦促法国立即停止利用其反超快时尚相关法律损害中国企业合法权益。In response to remarks by French officials that the law is neither discriminatory nor targeted and is intended to protect the environment and consumers, Huang, the spokeswoman, said that China remains seriously concerned about the legislation.针对法国官员称该法律不具歧视性、不针对特定对象，旨在保护环境与消费者的表态，发言人黄玲表示，中方对这项立法高度关切。She said that China will closely follow further developments and take necessary measures to safeguard Chinese companies' legitimate rights and interests.她说，中方将密切关注事态后续发展，并采取必要措施维护中国企业的合法权益。The French law, under the pretext of setting so-called standards for "environmental protection" and "sustainability", applies double standards by imposing discriminatory restrictions on Chinese cross-border e-commerce platforms through legislation, which severely distorts fair competition, according to information released by the Ministry of Commerce.商务部相关信息显示，法国这项法律以制定所谓 “环保”“可持续发展” 标准为借口，通过立法对中国跨境电商平台实施歧视性限制，奉行双重标准，严重破坏公平竞争。China opposes the abuse of restrictive economic and trade measures and urges France to take China's concerns seriously, stop using the legislation to undermine Chinese companies' legitimate rights and interests, and address economic and trade differences through dialogue on an equal footing, Huang added.黄玲补充道，中方反对滥用限制性经贸措施，敦促法方重视中方关切，停止借该法律损害中国企业合法权益，通过平等对话解决经贸分歧。In response to another question about the ministry's recent meetings with several French companies operating in China, Huang said public reports show that some French companies had received subsidies from the European Union and its member states, which may have been passed on to some extent to their entities in China.在被问及商务部近期与多家在华法国企业会谈一事时，黄玲表示，公开报道显示，部分法国企业获得欧盟及其成员国补贴，相关补贴可能在一定程度上传导至其在华机构。To assess the potential impact of such subsidies, the ministry has sought information from the companies concerned in accordance with the law and asked them to provide explanations, she said.她表示，为评估此类补贴带来的潜在影响，商务部已依法向相关企业调取信息，要求其作出说明。reciprocal /rɪˈsɪprəkl/adj. 相互的；互惠的tariff /ˈtærɪf/n. 关税resilient /rɪˈzɪliənt/adj. 有韧性的discriminatory /dɪˈskrɪmɪnətəri/adj. 歧视性的今天 16:55

President Xi Jinping will attend the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi from Saturday to Sunday at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced on Thursday.The meeting is widely expected to inject fresh momentum into BRICS cooperation, help BRICS countries and the wider Global South expand the pie of win-win cooperation, and reaffirm their commitment to multilateralism, experts said.India has adopted "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability" as the theme of its 2026 BRICS presidency, with a stated emphasis on a people-centric approach and stronger cooperation among countries of the Global South.Initially comprising Brazil, Russia, India and China, the grouping later welcomed South Africa and has since expanded further to 11 members. According to figures published on India's official BRICS presidency website, the 11 members account for about 49.5 percent of the world's population, 40 percent of global GDP and 26 percent of global trade."Xi's attendance once again demonstrates the importance that China consistently attaches to BRICS cooperation, the development of the mechanism and the common development of Global South countries," said Su Xiao hui, an associate research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies.China's role in advancing BRICS cooperation will again be highlighted at the summit, she said.Cooperation with other BRICS countries has long been a priority of China's foreign policy. Xi's first appearance at a major international multilateral meeting after becoming Chinese president was at the fifth BRICS Summit, held in Durban, South Africa, in March 2013.Wang You ming, a researcher on developing countries at the China Institute of International Studies, said the upcoming summit holds particular significance, as it coincides with the 20th anniversary of the launch of BRICS cooperation."One of the biggest highlights will be Xi's trip to India after seven years," Wang said. "China and India are not only close neighbors, but also founding members and major participants in BRICS. The state of their relationship has a direct bearing on the development of the mechanism."China and India have expressed mutual support for each other in hosting BRICS events, with India holding the rotating presidency this year and China set to assume the presidency next year."Multilateral platforms can create opportunities for bilateral engagement, while improving bilateral relations can in turn facilitate coordination within multilateral mechanisms," Wang said.At a time when unilateral trade measures and disruptions to global industrial and supply chains are placing mounting pressure on developing economies, the summit is expected to amplify the voice of the Global South and strengthen coordination in upholding an open world economy and the multilateral trading system, he added.Wang said BRICS cooperation had gradually moved beyond broad policy declarations toward concrete programs involving small and medium-sized enterprises, cities, young people and people-to-people exchanges.According to Wang, emerging sectors such as the digital economy, green development and artificial intelligence are also likely to provide new areas of growth for BRICS cooperation.Emmanuel Frimpong Sarpong, who holds a PhD from the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and is the lead author of a study on China's role in BRICS, said China has played an instrumental role in the development of the BRICS mechanism.He described the New Development Bank as one of the grouping's most significant achievements. By the end of 2025, the bank had approved $42.9 billion in financing for 139 projects covering clean energy, transportation, water and sanitation, environmental protection, and social and digital infrastructure, according to the bank.

China's health authorities have unveiled a five-year plan to expand access to eye care services, with a focus on tackling childhood myopia, addressing cataracts, which are particularly common among seniors, and strengthening eye care capacity in rural areas. 中国卫生部门近日公布一项为期五年的眼健康服务提升计划，旨在扩大眼科医疗服务覆盖范围，重点防治儿童近视、解决老年人群中较为常见的白内障问题，并进一步提升农村地区眼健康服务能力。By 2030, the nation aims to raise refraction screening rates steadily among children aged 6 and under, as well as primary and secondary school students, while improving awareness of refractive error care among the elderly, according to the plan released on Tuesday by the National Health Commission and two other government departments.根据国家卫生健康委员会等三个部门于周二发布的相关规划，到2030年，中国将稳步提高6岁及以下儿童以及中小学生屈光筛查率，同时提升老年人群对屈光问题防治的认知水平。The plan also calls for the effective refractive error coverage rate to increase steadily. The rate refers to the proportion of people who need near — or distance-vision correction and receive spectacles, contact lenses, refractive surgery or other interventions that achieve quality outcomes.规划提出，要稳步提高有效屈光不正矫正覆盖率。该指标指的是，需要进行近视或远视矫正的人群中，通过佩戴眼镜、隐形眼镜、屈光手术或其他干预措施，并取得良好矫正效果的人所占的比例。Other goals include raising the cataract surgery rate to more than 4,000 operations per 1 million people and improving the overall effectiveness of the treatment. The plan also aims to increase the number of ophthalmologists to more than 5.3 per 100,000 people and expand the optometrist workforce.规划还提出，到2030年，每百万人白内障手术率要提高至4000例以上，并提升治疗整体效果。同时，中国眼科医师数量将增加至每10万人超过5.3名，并进一步扩大验光师队伍规模。By 2030, more than 93 percent of county-level general hospitals are expected to have an ophthalmology department or an ear, nose and throat and eye care unit.到2030年，预计超过93%的县级综合医院将设立眼科，或配备耳鼻喉科与眼健康相关诊疗单元。More than 95 percent of county-level regions will be capable of independently diagnosing and treating common eye diseases, while all counties will be able to provide cataract surgery.超过95%的县级行政区域将具备独立诊断和治疗常见眼病的能力，所有县域都将能够开展白内障手术。To achieve these objectives, the document calls for stronger efforts in health education, early screening, diagnosis and treatment, as well as improvements in related medical and rehabilitation services.为实现上述目标，规划要求进一步加强健康教育、早期筛查、诊断治疗工作，同时完善相关医疗服务和康复服务体系。Medical institutions are required to provide screening for common eye diseases, including myopia and other refractive errors, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma, among high-risk groups such as children and teenagers, middle-aged and older adults, and patients with chronic conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure.医疗机构需针对儿童青少年、中老年人群，以及糖尿病、高血压等慢性病患者等重点人群，开展常见眼病筛查，包括近视及其他屈光不正、糖尿病视网膜病变、白内障和青光眼等疾病。Paired assistance programs and mobile medical teams will enhance local capabilities for performing cataract surgery while advancing standardized operating procedures and enhanced training for medical personnel.规划提出，通过对口帮扶项目和流动医疗队，提高基层医疗机构开展白内障手术的能力，同时推进手术操作规范化，加强医务人员培训。Myopia and cataracts have been priority areas in China's eye care services in recent years.近年来，近视和白内障一直是中国眼健康服务的重点领域。Official data shows that the overall myopia rate among students in China has declined steadily in recent years, falling 3.7 percentage points from 2018 to 49.9 percent in 2025.官方数据显示，近年来中国学生总体近视率持续下降，从2018年的水平下降3.7个百分点，2025年降至49.9%。Cataracts affected about 130 million adults in China in 2020, accounting for about 22.78 percent of the age group, according to official data.

Olympic champion Liu Xiang said on Thursday that he completed a buyout with Shanghai sports authorities on Sept 1, receiving 494,000 yuan, and would have no further association with the sports bureau.奥运冠军刘翔今天表示，他已于 9 月 1 日与上海体育主管部门完成买断，获得 49.4 万元，今后将不再与该体育局存在任何关联。“On Sept 1, I had already completed the buyout and received 494,000 yuan in buyout compensation,” Liu said in a post on his personal social media account. “From now on, I will have no further association with the sports bureau.”“9 月 1 日，我已经完成买断，拿到 49.4 万元买断补偿金，” 刘翔在个人社交媒体账号发文称，“从今往后，我和体育局不再有任何关系。”The 43‑year‑old former hurdler also said that he had received a total of 982,935 yuan in salary and subsidies from April 7, 2015, when he retired, until the completion of the buyout. Liu said he donated the entire amount to the China Charity Federation on Sept 2 for disaster relief following mudslides in the Xizang autonomous region.这位 43 岁的前跨栏运动员还表示，自 2015 年 4 月 7 日退役至完成买断期间，他共计领到薪资及补贴 982935 元。刘翔称，他已于 9 月 2 日将全部款项捐赠给中华慈善总会，用于西藏自治区泥石流灾害的救灾工作。Liu's latest post came after a public dispute over his post‑retirement career arrangement triggered widespread discussion on Chinese social media.此前，关于刘翔退役后职业安置的公开争议在国内社交媒体引发广泛热议，之后刘翔发布了这篇最新博文。On Aug 26, Liu posted a photo commemorating his victory at the 2004 Athens Olympics and said the sports authorities had asked him to choose between becoming a coach and accepting a buyout.8 月 26 日，刘翔发布一张纪念 2004 年雅典奥运会夺冠的照片，称体育主管部门要求他在担任教练和接受买断二者之间做出选择。The Shanghai Sports Bureau said afterward that Liu was an outstanding athlete who had made significant contributions to Shanghai's sports development. It said the Shanghai Competitive Sports Training Management Center had communicated with Liu and would handle his post‑retirement arrangement in accordance with relevant national and municipal regulations, mainly through organizational placement or self‑employment.上海市体育局随后表示，刘翔是优秀运动员，为上海体育事业发展作出了突出贡献。上海市竞技体育训练管理中心已与刘翔沟通，将按照国家及本市相关规定处理其退役安置事宜，安置方式主要为组织安排岗位或者自主择业。In his latest post, Liu also addressed what he described as the issue of being “on the payroll but not at his post”, saying he had not received any formal position or post since his retirement.在最新博文中，刘翔还谈及所谓 “吃空饷” 问题，称自己退役之后从未获得任何正式职务。“I have not received any official post or position since I retired,” Liu said. “I respect the rules and accept that there may have been oversights, but rules should never be an excuse.”“退役之后我没有得到任何官方职务，” 刘翔说，“我尊重制度，也承认或许存在疏漏，但制度绝不能成为借口。”He questioned why the issue had taken 11 years to address, saying that the choice between becoming a coach and accepting a buyout had come too late to be regarded as a genuine career choice.他质疑该问题为何拖延 11 年才得以处理，表示让他在做教练与接受买断之间二选一，来得太迟，算不上真正的职业选择。Liu said he hoped his case would encourage greater attention to the career transition of retired athletes and called for more flexible and diverse arrangements.刘翔表示，希望自己的事件能够促使社会更加关注退役运动员的职业转型，呼吁推出更加灵活多元的安置方案。“Putting the issue of resettlement in the public eye is not about using public opinion to seek a third option,” he said. “I hope organizations will seriously consider the future of every retired athlete and treat them well.”“把安置问题摆到公众面前，并不是借舆论谋求第三种选择，” 他说，“希望相关机构能够认真考量每一位退役运动员的未来，善待他们。”Liu won the men's 110‑meter hurdles at the 2004 Athens Olympics with a time of 12.91 seconds, becoming the first Asian athlete to win an Olympic gold medal in a men's track event. He went on to win the world title in 2007 and set a world record of 12.88 seconds in 2006.刘翔在 2004 年雅典奥运会男子 110 米栏比赛中以 12 秒 91 夺冠，成为首位夺得奥运会男子田径项目金牌的亚洲运动员。他随后在 2007 年拿下世锦赛冠军，并于 2006 年创造 12 秒 88 的世界纪录。buyout /ˈbaɪaʊt/n. 买断subsidy /ˈsʌbsədi/n. 补贴resettlement /ˌriːˈsetlmənt/n. 安置transition /trænˈzɪʃn/n. 转型

Chinese novelties firm looking for different growth path from Pop Mart中国新潮玩企业探索不同于泡泡玛特的发展路径In a shopping mall in Hopson One Mall in Yangpu district, Shanghai, hundreds of visitors line up at a popup store. They are drawn by a popular item — squishy cake toys — colorful, foam squeezables designed for stress relief and fashion statements. Unlike ultra-squishy toys, this item has a firmer foam texture, great for office desk decor, party gifts or relieving work and school pressure for both kids and adults alike.在上海杨浦区合生汇购物中心的一家快闪店外，数百名消费者排队等候。他们被一款热门商品吸引——解压蛋糕玩具。这类色彩鲜艳、柔软可捏的泡沫玩具，既能缓解压力，也成为一种时尚表达。与极度柔软、容易变形的传统解压玩具不同，这款蛋糕玩具采用更具支撑感的泡沫材质，既适合作为办公室桌面装饰，也可作为派对礼物，同时能够帮助儿童和成年人缓解学习与工作压力。The squishy cake toy comes in a variety of scrumptious shapes — strawberry, cherry, croissant and mushroom. Each of them is priced at around 25 yuan ($3.7).这些解压蛋糕玩具有多种“美味”造型，包括草莓、樱桃、羊角面包和蘑菇等，每个售价约25元人民币（约合3.7美元）。“I bought three squishy cake toys today. I like the soft touch of the toys. It is very stress-relieving,” said Zhang Le, a 30-year-old designer in Shanghai.“我今天买了三个解压蛋糕玩具。我喜欢它柔软的触感，真的很能缓解压力。”上海一名30岁的设计师张乐说。"I took my daughter to the pop-up store here. She likes squishy cake toys very much. She often shares the toys with her classmate. I bought five for her and one for myself. I can put the squishy cake toy on my office desk. It puts me in a good mood," said Cheng Yuqi, a 45-year-old mother in Shanghai.“我带女儿来到这里的快闪店，她非常喜欢这种玩具。她经常和同学分享。我给她买了五个，也给自己买了一个。我可以把它放在办公室桌上，每次看到它都会让我心情变好。”上海45岁的母亲程雨琪说。Since July, another style of squishy cake toys produced by Shanghai local brand Molynk have gone viral on TikTok. Related videos have already topped 180 million views. The product, priced at 299 yuan, sold out soon after its global debut, with 5,000 units purchased.自7月以来，上海本土品牌莫尼（Molynk）生产的另一款解压蛋糕玩具在TikTok上迅速走红。相关视频浏览量已超过1.8亿次。这款售价299元的产品在全球首发后很快售罄，共有5000件被抢购一空。The toys have become so popular that a large number of tourists from Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand are paying special visits to China, dragging their suitcases to offline stores in Shanghai for shopping trips. After these tourists return to their home countries, even if they resell their products at double or even higher prices, the products are still highly sought after by local consumers, as reported by Xinmin.cn.由于产品热度持续上升，越来越多来自泰国等东南亚国家的游客专程来到中国，拖着行李箱前往上海线下门店购买。据新民网报道，这些游客回国后，即使以两倍甚至更高价格转售，产品依然受到当地消费者追捧。At a soft rubber toy factory in Zhejiang province's Yiwu, located some 300 kilometers from Shanghai, millions of "freshly baked" bun-shaped decompression toys are about to board a truck bound for Ningbo Zhoushan Port, crossing mountains and waterways to Europe and North America.在距离上海约300公里的浙江义乌一家软胶玩具工厂内，数百万个“刚出炉”的包子造型解压玩具即将装车，运往宁波舟山港，再跨越山川河流，销往欧洲和北美市场。The latest data released by the General Administration of Customs of China showed that the total export value of Chinese toys in the first half was $15.6 billion, with some markets showing a recovery trend.中国海关总署最新数据显示，今年上半年，中国玩具出口总额达到156亿美元，部分市场呈现复苏趋势。Behind this evolving phenomenon of exports is a synergy of multiple factors, such as "China-Chic" design breakthroughs, mature supply chain support, global layout acceleration and the enduring and increasing appeal of emotional consumption.这一出口现象背后，是多重因素共同作用的结果，包括“国潮”设计突破、成熟供应链支撑、全球市场布局加速，以及情绪消费持续增长带来的吸引力。In recent years, the global emotional consumption market has continued to heat up, and stress relieving games and items have formed a billion dollar gold mine. According to the Global Stress Relief Toy Special Report issued by Verified Market Research, the global stress relief toy market is expected to reach $6.26 billion by 2026, and is projected to surpass $8.96 billion by 2030.近年来，全球情绪消费市场持续升温，解压游戏和相关产品正在形成一个价值数十亿美元的市场。根据市场研究机构Verified Market Research发布的《全球解压玩具特别报告》，预计到2026年，全球解压玩具市场规模将达到62.6亿美元，并有望在2030年超过89.6亿美元。Li Weiqing, founder and CEO of Molynk — one of the producers of squishy cake toys — said: “Since our establishment, the brand has aimed for a global layout. This may be different from Pop Mart, which was born in China and gradually achieved globalization with later development. When we were founded, we deployed branch offices in the United States, Japan and Spain, with Shanghai as our headquarters.”莫尼（Molynk）创始人兼首席执行官李伟庆表示：“品牌成立以来，就一直以全球化布局为目标。这一点可能不同于泡泡玛特——后者诞生于中国，并在后期发展过程中逐步走向全球化。而我们在创立之初，就已经在美国、日本和西班牙设立分支机构，总部设在上海。”Li Yun, general manager of Unie Toys in Minhang district, Shanghai, said: “We found the soft, colorful squishy cake toys well-received by consumers, both kids and adults. With the accelerated pace of modern life, people are increasingly placing emphasis on things that offer emotional value.”上海闵行区优尼玩具公司总经理李云表示：“我们发现，这种柔软、色彩丰富的解压蛋糕玩具受到儿童和成年消费者的共同欢迎。随着现代生活节奏不断加快，人们越来越重视能够提供情绪价值的产品。”Dong Peng, an independent senior analyst, said: "Shanghai squishy cake toys have gone from low-end OEM to cross-border hard currency, essentially completing the cognitive upgrade from 'emotional consumer goods' to 'cultural symbol carriers', no longer relying on simple price differences, but on precise translation and efficient supply of contemporary people's emotional needs."独立资深分析师董鹏表示：“上海解压蛋糕玩具已经从低端代工产品转变为具有跨境竞争力的产品，本质上完成了从‘情绪消费品'到‘文化符号载体'的认知升级。它们不再依靠简单的价格差异，而是依靠对当代消费者情绪需求的精准理解和高效供应。”squishy /ˈskwɪʃi/ adj.柔软可捏的；有弹性的novelty /ˈnɒvəlti/ n.新奇产品；新颖事物go viral /ɡəʊ ˈvaɪrəl/ v.走红；在网络上迅速传播be well-received /bi wel rɪˈsiːvd/ v.受到欢迎；获得认可emotional value /ɪˈməʊʃənl ˈvæljuː/ n.情绪价值；情感价值China-Chic /ˌtʃaɪnə ˈʃiːk/ n.国潮；中国风时尚潮流global layout /ˈɡləʊbl ˈleɪaʊt/ n.全球布局；国际化布局resell /ˌriːˈsel/ v.转售；二次销售

President Xi Jinping has called on China and the United Kingdom to respect and trust each other, transcend disagreements, seek common ground while reserving differences and make the pie of mutually beneficial cooperation even bigger.国家主席习近平强调，中英双方应相互尊重、相互信任，超越分歧，求同存异，不断做大互利合作的“蛋糕”。Xi made the remarks in phone talks with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham on Tuesday. This marked their first interaction since Burnham took office in July.习近平星期二同英国首相安迪·伯恩汉姆通电话时作出上述表示。这是伯恩汉姆于7月就任英国首相以来，两国领导人的首次互动。Xi, who congratulated Burnham on assuming office as UK prime minister, noted that China and the UK are comprehensive strategic partners, and stressed that despite their different social systems and national conditions, the two countries share more common interests than differences.习近平祝贺伯恩汉姆出任英国首相，并指出，中国和英国都是全面战略伙伴。尽管两国社会制度和国情不同，但双方拥有的共同利益远多于分歧。As both governments are committed to developing the economy and improving people's livelihoods, they can draw on their respective strengths and provide mutual support, he added.习近平表示，两国政府都致力于发展经济、改善民生，可以充分发挥各自优势，相互支持、携手发展。Xi said that during its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, China will further expand opening-up in sectors such as education, healthcare and finance, which he described as areas with great potential for bilateral cooperation.习近平指出，在中国“十五五”（2026年至2030年）时期，中国将进一步扩大教育、医疗、金融等领域开放，这些领域具有广阔的双边合作潜力。He added that as major countries in science and technology with rich resources in education, culture and sports, China and the UK should maintain an open and forward-looking perspective, and strengthen exchanges and cooperation across all fields.他强调，中英都是科技大国，在教育、文化、体育等方面资源丰富。双方应保持开放和前瞻视野，加强各领域交流与合作。Xi also expressed his hope that the UK will fully protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese investors.习近平还表示，希望英国切实保护中国投资者的合法权益。Regarding multilateral affairs, Xi underscored that the two countries are both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and major economies in the world, and they both support multilateralism and open trade and uphold the central role of the UN.谈及多边事务时，习近平指出，中英两国同为联合国安理会常任理事国，也是世界主要经济体，双方都支持多边主义和开放贸易，维护联合国核心地位。He called for joint efforts to strengthen communication and cooperation within frameworks such as the UN, the G20 and the World Trade Organization, in order to promote an equal and orderly multipolar world as well as universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.他呼吁双方共同努力，在联合国、二十国集团、世界贸易组织等框架内加强沟通与合作，推动构建更加平等有序的世界多极化格局，促进普惠包容的经济全球化。Burnham welcomed Xi's views and recalled that during his tenure as mayor of Greater Manchester, he had maintained many years of friendly exchanges with China.伯恩汉姆表示赞同习近平的相关观点，并回顾说，在担任大曼彻斯特市长期间，他曾多年推动同中国开展友好交流。President Xi made a state visit to the UK in 2015, which included a trip to Manchester. This, Burnham said, has had a significant impact on promoting exchanges and cooperation between the local community and the Chinese side.他说，习近平主席2015年对英国进行国事访问期间曾访问曼彻斯特，这对促进当地与中方之间的交流合作产生了重要影响。The UK will maintain continuity in its China policy and is firmly committed to developing a long-term and consistent UK-China comprehensive strategic partnership, Burnham said.伯恩汉姆表示，英国将保持对华政策的连续性，坚定致力于发展长期、稳定的英中全面战略伙伴关系。He expressed the UK's readiness to engage in high-level exchanges with China, advance bilateral cooperation across all fields and strengthen people-to-people ties, in an effort to restore bilateral relations to their historical high level and bring greater benefits to the two peoples.他表示，英国愿同中国开展高层交往，推动双方各领域合作，加强民间交流，努力推动双边关系恢复到历史高水平，为两国人民带来更多福祉。Burnham reaffirmed that the UK's position on the Taiwan question remains unchanged.伯恩汉姆重申，英国在台湾问题上的立场没有改变。Amid the current volatile and complex international landscape, the UK and China, as permanent members of the UN Security Council, should promote dialogue to resolve international hot spot issues and jointly address global challenges such as climate change, in order to safeguard world stability and prosperity, he said.他说，在当前国际形势动荡复杂的背景下，作为联合国安理会常任理事国，英国和中国应通过对话解决国际热点问题，共同应对气候变化等全球性挑战，以维护世界稳定与繁荣。Burnham also commended China's efficient and effective response to the mudslide that struck Gyirong county in the Xizang autonomous region, while expressing his appreciation to China for assisting UK citizens who were affected.伯恩汉姆还赞赏中国对西藏自治区吉隆县泥石流灾害采取的高效有力应对措施，并感谢中国为受影响的英国公民提供帮助。The two leaders agreed to stay in touch and said that dialogue between their governments on a range of mutual priorities would continue, according to a news release issued by the British Prime Minister's Office after the phone talks.英国首相府在通话后的新闻稿中表示，两国领导人同意保持联系，并表示两国政府将继续围绕一系列共同关切领域开展对话。transcend /trænˈsend/ v.超越；胜过；突破mutually beneficial /ˌmjuːtʃuəli ˌbenɪˈfɪʃl/ adj.互利的；共同受益的comprehensive strategic partnership /ˌkɒmprɪˈhensɪv strəˈtiːdʒɪk ˈpɑːrtnərʃɪp/ n.全面战略伙伴关系draw on /drɔː ɒn/ v.利用；借助；凭借（资源、经验等）uphold /ʌpˈhəʊld/ v.维护；支持；坚持（原则、立场等）multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/ n.多边主义；多边合作理念people-to-people ties /ˈpiːpl tə ˈpiːpl taɪz/ n.人文纽带；民间联系hot spot issues /ˈhɒt spɒt ˈɪʃuːz/ n.热点问题；热点议题

First high-performance processor to adopt the company's LogicFolding首款采用“逻辑折叠”技术的高性能处理器亮相Huawei Technologies Co on Monday unveiled its latest flagship chip, the Kirin 9050 Pro, marking the company's first new high-performance Kirin processor launch at a flagship event since its Mate 40 smartphones global debut six years ago.华为技术有限公司（Huawei Technologies Co）周一发布最新旗舰芯片——麒麟9050 Pro。这是自六年前华为Mate 40系列智能手机全球发布以来，公司首次在旗舰级活动上推出全新的高性能麒麟处理器。The chip, which powers Huawei's newly released Mate XT 2 tri-fold smartphone, is the industry's first high-performance processor to adopt the company's LogicFolding technology. The approach rearranges logic units within a single chip into layered stacks — akin to converting a single-floor layout into a duplex — and adds vertical interconnect channels that function like "elevators" to shorten signal paths and reduce latency.该芯片搭载于华为最新发布的Mate XT 2三折叠智能手机中。据介绍，麒麟9050 Pro是业界首款采用华为“逻辑折叠”技术的高性能处理器。这一技术通过将单个芯片内部的逻辑单元重新排列为分层堆叠结构——类似于将单层建筑改造成复式结构——并增加类似“电梯”的垂直互连通道，从而缩短信号传输路径，降低延迟。The result is a 42 percent improvement in overall device performance over the previous generation chip, Huawei said.华为表示，与上一代芯片相比，搭载麒麟9050 Pro的设备整体性能提升了42%。Yu Chengdong, Huawei's executive director and chairman of the terminal business group, described the chip at the Guangzhou, Guangdong province launch event as "super fast, intelligent and cool" — calling it the most powerful Kirin chip to date.在广东省广州市举行的发布活动上，华为常务董事、终端业务集团董事长余承东将这款芯片形容为“速度超快、智能十足、酷炫强大”，并称其为迄今为止性能最强的麒麟芯片。The Kirin 9050 Pro delivers substantial improvements in large-file loading, multitasking, rendering performance and on-device artificial intelligence capabilities, Huawei said.华为表示，麒麟9050 Pro在大文件加载、多任务处理、图形渲染性能以及端侧人工智能能力方面均实现了显著提升。According to real-world test data, the chip packs 55 percent more transistors per square millimeter than its predecessor, the Kirin 9030 Pro — jumping from approximately 155 million to 238 million transistors per sq mm in a single generation.根据实际测试数据，该芯片每平方毫米晶体管数量较上一代麒麟9030 Pro增加55%，单代产品从约1.55亿个晶体管提升至每平方毫米约2.38亿个晶体管。The Lingxi CPU delivers a 24 percent increase in single-core peak performance and a 52 percent boost in multi-core concurrent performance.麒麟9050 Pro搭载的灵犀CPU，单核峰值性能提升24%，多核并发性能提升52%。The breakthrough comes from LogicFolding, a concept rooted in what Huawei calls the "Tau Scaling Law" — a theoretical framework first proposed by He Tingbo, president of Huawei's semiconductor business, in May.这一技术突破源于“逻辑折叠”理念，其理论基础来自华为提出的“韬定律”。该理论框架由华为半导体业务负责人何庭波于今年5月首次提出。On Friday, He published her third update in less than four months on the ChinaXiv preprint platform, a paper directly addressing industry skepticism about whether dense 3D stacking would inevitably lead to higher power density and heat.周五，何庭波在中国科技论文预发布平台ChinaXiv上发布了不到四个月内的第三次更新论文，直接回应了业界关于“高密度三维堆叠是否必然导致功耗密度升高和散热问题加剧”的质疑。He's answer is a definitive no. The paper explains that the majority of energy consumption in modern chips comes not from computation itself, but from moving data across long on-chip wires — a phenomenon she likens to a worker's daily energy being consumed not by desk work, but by commuting. Logic-Folding replaces long horizontal journeys with short vertical connections — the chip's "elevators" — cutting typical core wiring length by about 20 percent and reducing some critical paths by up to 70 percent.何庭波给出的答案是否定的。论文解释称，现代芯片的大部分能耗并非来自计算本身，而是来自芯片内部长距离数据传输。她将这一现象比作员工日常消耗的能量并非主要用于办公，而是耗费在上下班通勤过程中。“逻辑折叠”技术通过将长距离的水平传输转换为短距离的垂直连接——也就是芯片中的“电梯”——减少数据移动距离。据介绍，该技术可使核心线路平均长度缩短约20%，并将部分关键路径缩短幅度最高提升至70%。She emphasized that "Tau is a time-scaling law, not an energy-scaling law" — the real value lies in converting saved time into lower voltage and frequency, rather than chasing peak performance at the cost of efficiency.何庭波强调：“韬定律是一种时间尺度定律，而不是能量尺度定律。”其真正价值在于将节省下来的时间转化为更低的电压和频率，而不是以牺牲能效为代价追求峰值性能。Xiang Ligang, director-general of the Information Consumption Alliance — a telecom industry association, said that for Huawei, the Kirin 9050 Pro represents more than just a performance upgrade — it's a statement that the company's chip design capabilities continue to advance even as its access to US-related advanced chip manufacturing equipment remains constrained.信息消费联盟（一个电信行业协会）理事长项立刚表示，对于华为而言，麒麟9050 Pro不仅意味着一次性能升级，更表明即使在获取美国相关先进芯片制造设备受到限制的情况下，公司芯片设计能力仍在持续提升。The Kirin 9050 Pro's debut also comes as the global foldable smartphone market reaches a historic inflection point.麒麟9050 Pro的发布，也正值全球折叠屏智能手机市场进入历史性转折阶段。Counterpoint Research said cumulative global foldable smartphone shipments are expected to surpass 100 million units by the end of 2026 — some eight years after the first commercial foldable device launched in 2019.市场研究机构Counterpoint Research表示，到2026年底，全球折叠屏手机累计出货量预计将超过1亿部。这一里程碑距离首款商用折叠屏设备于2019年推出约八年时间。The research firm projects the market will accelerate to 37 percent year-on-year growth in 2027, driven by Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 series and Apple's anticipated entry into the foldable segment.该机构预计，2027年折叠屏手机市场增速将达到37%的同比增长。推动市场增长的主要因素包括三星Galaxy Z Fold8系列产品以及苹果预计进入折叠屏手机市场。unveil /ʌnˈveɪl/ v.发布；揭晓；推出flagship chip /ˈflæɡʃɪp tʃɪp/ n.旗舰芯片mark the first time that... /mɑːrk ðə fɜːrst taɪm/ phr.标志着首次……improve overall performance /ɪmˈpruːvˌəʊvərˈɔːl pəˈfɔːməns/ phr.提升整体性能deliver improvements in /dɪˈlɪvə(r) ɪmˈpruːvmənts ɪn/ phr.在……方面实现提升address industry skepticism /əˈdresˈɪndəstriˈskeptɪsɪzəm/ phr.回应行业质疑remain constrained by /rɪˈmeɪn kənˈstreɪnd baɪ/ phr.受到……限制reach an inflection point /riːtʃ ən ɪnˈflekʃn pɔɪnt/ phr.达到转折点year-on-year growth /ˌjɪər ɒnˈjɪərɡrəʊθ/ n.同比增长

Developing nations seek greater access to talent, infrastructure to boost growth发展中国家寻求更多人才、基础设施支持，以推动人工智能发展Developing nations are seeking greater access to talent, infrastructure, artificial intelligence models and governance expertise, as they aim to harness AI without lagging further behind in its development and application, officials and experts from Global South countries said at an AI workshop in Beijing.全球南方国家的官员和专家在北京举行的一场人工智能研讨会上表示，发展中国家正寻求更多机会获取人工智能人才、基础设施、人工智能模型以及治理经验，以便在利用人工智能推动发展的过程中避免进一步落后于全球技术发展和应用进程。The fourth Workshop on AI Capacity Building is being held at Peking University from Monday through Saturday, with representatives from more than 30 nations attending.第四届人工智能能力建设研讨班于周一至周六在北京大学举行，来自30多个国家的代表参加了此次活动。The AI capacity building workshop follows President Xi Jinping's announcement at the 2026 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in July, in which he said that China would provide developing countries with 5,000 opportunities for AI training and seminars over the next five years.此次人工智能能力建设研讨班，是继中国国家主席习近平在2026年7月举行的世界人工智能大会暨全球人工智能治理高级别会议上宣布相关倡议之后举办的活动。习近平当时表示，未来五年，中国将向发展中国家提供5000个开展人工智能培训和研讨交流的机会。Speaking at the workshop's opening ceremony, Renan Gaya, director of data structuring and artificial intelligence at Brazil's Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services, said that deep disparities in data, computing capacity, talent, standards and capital continue to shape the global AI landscape.在研讨班开幕式上，巴西管理与公共服务创新部数据结构化与人工智能司司长雷南·加亚（Renan Gaya）表示，数据、算力、人才、标准和资本方面存在的巨大差距，正在持续塑造全球人工智能发展格局。“Without collective action, AI may reinforce historical inequalities and create new forms of technological dependence,” Gaya said, adding that “countries must build their own capacity or, at least, reduce strategic dependencies”. “如果缺乏集体行动，人工智能可能会强化历史性不平等，并产生新的技术依赖形式。”加亚说。他补充道，“各国必须建立自身能力，或者至少降低在战略领域的依赖程度。”He added that the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization, or WAICO, and United Nations programs could help bridge the digital divide by sharing knowledge and providing training in areas where they are most needed.他表示，世界人工智能合作组织（WAICO）以及联合国相关项目，可以通过分享知识、在最需要的领域提供培训，帮助缩小数字鸿沟。“By sharing open-source AI models and knowledge through training and partnerships, China helps others build their own capacity,” he said.他说：“通过培训和合作伙伴关系分享开源人工智能模型与知识，中国正在帮助其他国家建设自身能力。”In 2024, China promoted the adoption of a UN General Assembly resolution on AI capacity building by consensus. The country later launched further initiatives to expand practical cooperation in the field and proposed the establishment of the WAICO.2024年，中国推动联合国大会就人工智能能力建设通过一项协商一致决议。随后，中国进一步推出扩大人工智能领域务实合作的相关倡议，并提出建立世界人工智能合作组织。Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Bin described China as an early advocate of AI capacity building and noted that all of the participants in the workshop are from founding members of the WAICO, reflecting a commitment to ensuring that the initial participants would also be among the first to benefit.中国外交部副部长刘彬表示，中国是人工智能能力建设的早期倡导者。他指出，本次研讨班所有参与方均来自世界人工智能合作组织创始成员，这体现了确保首批参与者也能率先受益的承诺。However, Liu said that the potential of AI would not automatically translate into benefits for common development, and that it could instead entrench or even exacerbate inequalities. He said that capacity building should go beyond simply providing access to technologies and services, adding that greater emphasis should be placed on helping developing countries build the capabilities required to develop and apply AI more independently, using it to solve real-world problems in ways that generate lasting value.不过，刘彬表示，人工智能的发展潜力并不会自动转化为促进共同发展的成果，反而可能进一步固化甚至扩大不平等。他指出，能力建设不应仅停留在提供技术和服务的层面，而应更加重视帮助发展中国家提升自主开发和应用人工智能的能力，使其能够利用人工智能解决现实问题，并创造长期价值。Antoine Pokam, an inspector at the Inspectorate General in charge of Technical Matters of Cameroon's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, pointed to infrastructure, financing and access to AI models as areas in which developing countries need greater support.喀麦隆邮政与电信部技术事务总监察局检查员安托万·波坎（Antoine Pokam）指出，基础设施、资金支持以及获取人工智能模型，是发展中国家需要获得更多支持的重要领域。Stressing the need for capacity-building programs, he added that support was also required for projects, financing and infrastructure.他强调，开展能力建设项目十分必要，同时相关支持也应覆盖项目实施、融资以及基础设施建设等方面。Aung Myo Maung, deputy director of the National AI Development Department of Myanmar's Ministry of Digital Development and Communications, said as Myanmar moves toward digitalization, the country's government could benefit from China's experience in areas such as data analytics and decision-support systems.缅甸数字发展与通信部国家人工智能发展司副司长昂妙茂（Aung Myo Maung）表示，随着缅甸迈向数字化转型，政府可以借鉴中国在数据分析、决策支持系统等领域的经验。Thanongdeuane Toulihong, deputy director of the Applied Research Institute of Smart Technology under Laos' Ministry of Technology and Communications, said that human resources and infrastructure are among the major constraints facing AI development in his country, and that relevant policy frameworks also need to be developed further.老挝技术与通信部智慧技术应用研究院副院长塔农杜安·图里洪（Thanongdeuane Toulihong）表示，人力资源和基础设施是当前制约老挝人工智能发展的主要因素之一，同时，相关政策框架也需要进一步完善。[词汇提炼]harness /ˈhɑːrnɪs/ v.利用；驾驭；有效运用capacity building /kəˈpæsəti ˌbɪldɪŋ/ n.能力建设；能力提升infrastructure /ˈɪnfrəˌstrʌktʃər/ n.基础设施governance /ˈɡʌvərnəns/ n.治理；管理体系disparity /dɪˈspærəti/ n.差距；不平等；悬殊reinforce /ˌriːɪnˈfɔːrs/ v.强化；加剧；巩固dependency /dɪˈpendənsi/ n.依赖；依赖关系collective action /kəˈlektɪv ˈækʃn/ n.集体行动；共同努力

China, as the second-largest contributor to the United Nations' regular budget, accounts for about 20 percent of total assessed contributions, trailing only the United States.中国是联合国常规预算的第二大缴款国，承担的经常预算分摊比例约占总额的20%，仅次于美国。However, unlike the US, China has consistently paid its regular dues in full and on time, and with its recent payment it has paid its full annual dues of $641 million, earning public acknowledgment and praise from the UN.然而，与美国不同的是，中国始终按时足额缴纳联合国会费。随着近期完成最新一笔缴款，中国已支付全年全部会费，共计6.41亿美元，并获得联合国方面公开认可和赞扬。Saying the funds “come in handy”, a spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday thanked China for its latest payment. Speaking at a news briefing, Stephane Dujarric said that “having the full amount is extremely helpful to the ongoing liquidity crisis” the UN faces. He added that China's payment brought the number of fully paid-up member states to 133.联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯的发言人周三表示，这笔资金“非常及时”。联合国发言人斯特凡·杜加里克在新闻发布会上感谢中国完成最新缴款，并表示：“收到全额资金对于缓解联合国当前面临的流动性危机极其有帮助。”他还指出，中国的缴款使按时足额缴纳会费的会员国数量达到133个。The most notable exception is the US, which accounts for about 98 percent of unpaid contributions to the UN's main budget. The US administration has stated its intention to pay $725 million to the UN, but when asked about it, Dujarric could only say that “it is in the pipeline”.最引人关注的例外是美国。美国约占联合国常规预算未缴款项的98%。美国政府此前表示计划向联合国支付7.25亿美元，但当被问及具体进展时，杜加里克只能回应称，这笔款项“正在办理过程中”。As the organization's largest “debtor”, the US reportedly has outstanding arrears totaling over $4 billion for the regular budget, of which $1.8 billion is for peacekeeping operations. This chronic underpayment has directly constrained the UN's cash flow, forced delays in peacekeeping operations, and hindered the implementation of vital programs worldwide.作为联合国最大的“债务国”，据报道，美国拖欠联合国常规预算的欠款总额超过40亿美元，其中约18亿美元涉及维和行动。长期不足额缴纳会费，已经直接影响联合国现金流，导致维和行动被迫延迟，并阻碍全球范围内重要项目的实施。Washington's failure to honor its financial obligations not only undermines the UN, but also creates a persistent financial strain that other member states are left to partially offset. The situation led Guterres to warn that the UN is facing a “race to bankruptcy” unless its member states pay their dues in full and on time.美国未履行其财政义务，不仅削弱了联合国的运行能力，也造成持续性的资金压力，使其他会员国不得不在一定程度上承担弥补责任。联合国秘书长古特雷斯曾警告称，如果会员国不能按时足额缴纳会费，联合国正面临一场“走向破产的赛跑”。Because of severe financial strains facilitated by a broader US retreat from multilateralism and shifting donor priorities, the UN departments and other international organizations in Geneva are reportedly facing unprecedented funding cuts and staff member reductions, with over 3,000 jobs lost since 2025. Agencies such as UNICEF, the UN agency for children's welfare, are downsizing or relocating; while UNAIDS, dedicated to tackling HIV/AIDS, faces possible closure. Although Switzerland and local foundations have pledged financial support, Geneva's status as the “capital of multilateralism” is now being challenged.由于美国更广泛地减少对多边主义的支持以及捐助重点发生变化，联合国日内瓦办事处及其他国际组织正面临前所未有的资金削减和人员裁撤。据报道，自2025年以来，相关机构已有超过3000个岗位被削减。负责儿童福利工作的联合国机构——联合国儿童基金会（UNICEF）正在缩减规模或调整办公地点；致力于应对艾滋病问题的联合国艾滋病规划署（UNAIDS）也面临可能关闭的风险。尽管瑞士政府和当地基金会已承诺提供资金支持，但日内瓦作为“多边主义之都”的地位正受到挑战。What the US has done in recent years — deliberately withholding or delaying its assessed contributions to the UN — has undoubtedly weakened not only Geneva's long-held role as a hub for international cooperation, but also the collaborative spirit that has been central to addressing global challenges ranging from pandemics to climate change.近年来，美国有意拖延或拒绝缴纳应承担的联合国会费，这一做法无疑削弱了日内瓦长期以来作为国际合作中心的作用，也削弱了国际社会应对全球性挑战的合作精神——这些挑战包括疫情防控和气候变化等。All these developments expose deeper problems that have long plagued the UN and its affiliated agencies. The result has been a widening disconnect between rights and responsibilities, and a steady erosion of the UN's ability to operate with stability and predictability.上述变化暴露出长期困扰联合国及其附属机构的更深层次问题。其结果是，权利与责任之间的脱节不断扩大，联合国保持稳定和可预期运行的能力也持续受到削弱。China consistently supports UN reform and emphasizes that it should focus on improving efficiency and enhancing governance capabilities. On the one hand, the UN needs to strengthen budget management and implement comprehensive performance oversight. This involves eliminating redundant structures, inefficient processes and overlapping functions to optimize global resource allocation and reduce unnecessary expenditures.中国始终支持联合国改革，并强调改革应着眼于提高效率、增强治理能力。一方面，联合国需要加强预算管理，实施全面的绩效监督。这包括减少重复机构、低效流程和职能重叠，以优化全球资源配置，降低不必要支出。On the other hand, its reform should adhere to the principles of fairness and inclusivity, with governance resources and development benefits to be channeled toward key areas such as poverty reduction, livelihoods, public health and regional development.另一方面，联合国改革应坚持公平和包容原则，将治理资源和发展成果更多投入到减贫、民生、公共卫生以及区域发展等关键领域。The US' shift away from multilateralism is a shortsighted approach that overlooks the interconnected nature of today's global issues. Nations should abandon zero-sum thinking, uphold the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and support structural reforms within the UN. Such steps are essential to invigorating the multilateral system and building a solid foundation for global peace, development and shared benefits.美国偏离多边主义方向的做法是一种短视策略，忽视了当今全球问题相互关联的现实。各国应摒弃零和思维，坚持《联合国宪章》的宗旨和原则，支持联合国进行结构性改革。这些努力对于激发多边体系活力、为全球和平、发展与共同受益奠定坚实基础，都具有重要意义。 assessed contribution /əˈsest ˌkɒntrɪˈbjuːʃn/ n.分摊会费；核定缴款dues /duːz/ n.应缴费用；会费acknowledgment /əkˈnɒlɪdʒmənt/ n.认可；承认；感谢liquidity /lɪˈkwɪdəti/ n.流动性；资金周转能力outstanding /aʊtˈstændɪŋ/ adj.未支付的；未解决的；拖欠的arrears /əˈrɪrz/ n.欠款；拖欠款项obligation /ˌɒblɪˈɡeɪʃn/ n.义务；责任multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/ n.多边主义

Zheng Qinwen pulled off an epic upset, winning the last seven games to stun Madison Keys and keep her unlikely US Open challenge going on Saturday.中国网球选手郑钦文上周六上演了一场史诗级逆转。在比赛最后连赢7局的情况下，她爆冷击败麦迪逊·凯斯（Madison Keys），继续书写自己在美网赛场上的黑马征程。The Paris Olympics gold medalist from China triumphed 1-6, 7-6 (7/3), 7-5, defying the vocal pro-Keys crowd and further demonstrating that she is headed back to her best after a lengthy recovery from elbow surgery last year.这位巴黎奥运会女单金牌得主以1-6、7-6（7/3）、7-5 的比分战胜对手，顶住了现场支持凯斯的热烈观众声势，也进一步证明自己在经历去年肘部手术后的长期恢复后，正逐渐找回最佳状态。It has all made for an emotional spell in New York for the 23-year-old, who felt she "forgot how to compete" during her enforced absence but can now feel her competitive fire burning.对于这位23岁的中国球员来说，这段纽约之旅充满了情感波动。郑钦文此前曾表示，在被迫缺席比赛期间，她一度感觉自己“忘记了如何竞争”，但如今，她重新感受到内心的竞技激情正在燃烧。"I have a lot of emotions when I'm playing the qualie matches," she said. "I was even crying after I won the third match reaching to the main draw, and you know, main draw is just the beginning.“参加资格赛的时候，我有很多情绪。”郑钦文说道，“第三场资格赛获胜、晋级正赛后，我甚至哭了。你知道，进入正赛其实才只是开始。”"For today, after coming back from 0-5, the first thing in that moment I thought, 'Please, I don't want to be beaten 6-0.'"“今天的比赛，当我从0-5落后开始追赶时，那一刻我第一个想法是：‘拜托，我不想被打一个6-0。'”She got her game on the board, and saved a match point at 5-1, and she was off and running.她随后终于拿下一局，并在1-5落后时挽救了一个赛点，比赛的局势也由此开始发生变化。"Then I felt I have a lot of energy. I can just keep pushing, keep fighting," she said.“那之后，我感觉自己充满了能量。我可以继续向前冲，继续战斗。”她说。"At the end when I won the match, it's like, 'Wow, that's incredible.'“最后赢下比赛的时候，我真的觉得，‘哇，这太不可思议了。'”"Finally, one time the luck is on my side because all these three, four months I been suffering a lot."“终于有一次，幸运站在了我这一边，因为过去三四个月，我一直承受着很多痛苦。”With few matches under her belt this year, Zheng said it took her some time to get to grips with Keys's big forehand.由于今年参加的比赛场次有限，郑钦文表示，自己花了一些时间才逐渐适应凯斯强劲的正手进攻。And when she held serve for 5-1 in the third she could immediately feel Keys's conviction wane.而当凯斯在第三盘以5-1领先并成功保发时，郑钦文很快察觉到对手的信心开始动摇。"I see there is some maybe doubt or, I don't know, not as clean (hitting) as before," Zheng said.“我看到她可能出现了一些怀疑，或者说，她的击球不像之前那么干净利落。”郑钦文说。"She started to make a lot of mistakes in that moment, and I start to feel like, 'OK, I need to be there. I need to keep fighting, don't give up, and let's see what's going to happen.'"“那一刻她开始出现很多失误，而我开始觉得：‘好，我必须站在那里，我必须继续战斗，不能放弃，让我们看看最后会发生什么。'”Keys said her struggles were something that has been building. After she earned her big lead in the third, she said, "I got really scared, like I couldn't swing ... I felt like I couldn't play tennis anymore."凯斯表示，她的问题其实已经积累了一段时间。在第三盘取得巨大领先后，她说：“我真的开始害怕了，我好像无法挥拍……我感觉自己已经不会打网球了。”For Zheng, it was a reminder never to let go of a match until the final point.对于郑钦文而言，这场胜利再次提醒她，比赛不到最后一分，永远不能放弃。"Tennis sometimes feels like rollercoaster," she said. "So this gives me also lesson that in a tennis match you always have to be there.“网球有时候就像过山车一样。”她说，“所以这场比赛也给了我一个教训：在网球比赛中，你必须始终保持专注。”"It doesn't matter if you are winning or losing. You have a match point or you don't have a match point, you just need to concentrate every single point as long as you can."“不管你是在领先还是落后，不管你有没有赛点，你都必须尽可能专注于每一个球，坚持到最后。”【词汇提炼】storm home /stɔːrm həʊm/ v.强势获胜；一路冲刺取胜champion /ˈtʃæmpiən/ n.冠军；优胜者epic /ˈepɪk/ adj.史诗般的；惊人的；壮观的upset /ˈʌpset/ n.爆冷；意外失利upset /ʌpˈset/ v.爆冷击败；使震惊stun /stʌn/ v.使震惊；爆冷击败emotional /ɪˈməʊʃənl/ adj.情绪激动的；充满情感的get to grips with sth. /ɡet tuː ɡrɪps wɪð/ phr.开始掌握；逐渐适应

Russian President Vladimir Putin had substantive, constructive and extremely frank talks with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in a trusting atmosphere in Moscow, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said early Sunday morning.俄罗斯总统普京与美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和贾里德·库什纳近日在莫斯科举行会谈。克里姆林宫助理尤里·乌沙科夫周日凌晨表示，此次会谈在相互信任的氛围中进行，双方进行了“实质性、建设性且极其坦诚”的交流。Ushakov said the discussion on extremely serious issues took place in a working-format setting and informally over dinner.乌沙科夫称，双方围绕一系列“极其严肃的问题”展开讨论，会谈以工作会晤形式进行，并在非正式晚宴期间继续交流。Putin reaffirmed Russia's readiness to continue joint work with the United States in search of political and diplomatic solutions to the Ukrainian issues.普京重申，俄罗斯愿继续与美国开展合作，寻求通过政治和外交途径解决乌克兰相关问题。Ushakov said that the Russian side provided clear and comprehensive assessments of the situation unfolding amid the special military operation. "In particular, note was taken of the real advances made by the Russian army within the combat zone; confidence was expressed in achieving the stated objectives, and the need to eliminate all root causes of the conflict was emphasized," he noted.乌沙科夫表示，俄方就特别军事行动背景下正在发展的局势作出了清晰、全面的评估。他指出：“双方特别关注到俄罗斯军队在战区取得的实际进展；俄方表达了对实现既定目标的信心，并强调有必要消除导致冲突产生的所有根本原因。”The talks were not confined to an exchange of views on resolving the Ukraine crisis. Economic matters and potential large-scale, mutually beneficial Russian-US projects were also discussed in considerable detail, said Ushakov.会谈内容并不仅限于就解决乌克兰危机交换意见。乌沙科夫指出，双方还就经济问题以及潜在的大规模、互利的俄美合作项目进行了较为详细的讨论。Overall, the negotiations can be described as timely and highly beneficial for both sides. It was confirmed that the heads of state of the two countries will maintain personal contact going forward, and that work through Witkoff and Kushner will continue.总体而言，此次谈判可以被描述为及时且对双方都具有高度益处。双方确认，两国元首未来将继续保持个人联系，同时通过威特科夫和库什纳开展的相关工作也将继续推进。The conversation lasted three hours and 10 minutes.此次会谈持续了3小时10分钟。Ushakov said that the US envoys pledged that during their upcoming contacts in Kyiv tomorrow, they would relay observations and assessments they had received directly from the Russian president regarding reaching a durable peaceful settlement to the Ukraine conflict.乌沙科夫还表示，美国特使承诺，在他们次日前往基辅进行接触时，将转达他们从俄罗斯总统普京那里直接获得的、有关推动俄乌冲突实现“持久和平解决”的看法和评估。substantive /səbˈstæntɪv/ adj.实质性的；重要的；有实际内容的constructive /kənˈstrʌktɪv/ adj.建设性的；有助于解决问题的frank /fræŋk/ adj.坦率的；直言不讳的envoy /ˈenvɔɪ/ n.特使；使者；外交使节trusting atmosphere /ˈtrʌstɪŋ ˈætməsfɪə(r)/ n.信任的氛围；互信环境reaffirm /ˌriːəˈfɜːrm/ v.重申；再次确认readiness /ˈredinəs/ n.准备就绪；意愿；准备状态

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, now in its fifth year, has only intensified over time, fueled by the continuous military support from different parties, particularly NATO. The West has also implemented multiple rounds of sanctions against Russia, aiming to force its capitulation. However, these sanctions have not achieved their intended effect. Instead, the conflict persists.俄乌冲突如今已进入第五个年头，随着各方持续提供军事支持，尤其是北约方面的支持，冲突局势不仅没有缓和，反而不断升级。与此同时，西方还对俄罗斯实施了多轮制裁，试图迫使俄方屈服。然而，这些制裁并未达到预期效果，冲突仍在持续。As Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico rightly pointed out in a video address on Facebook on Saturday, the United States and its allies "naively believed that through Ukraine — and its full political, military and financial support — they could bring hated Russia to its knees". Fico's observation echoes the reality that instead of ending the crisis, the help extended to Ukraine has prolonged it.正如斯洛伐克总理罗伯特·菲佐周六在脸书发布的视频讲话中指出的那样，美国及其盟友“天真地认为，通过乌克兰以及对乌克兰全面的政治、军事和财政支持，他们能够让他们所憎恨的俄罗斯屈服”。菲佐的这一看法反映出一个现实：对乌克兰的援助并未终结危机，反而延长了冲突。The latest meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, at the Kremlin on Saturday, therefore, represented a critical moment for reassessing the strategies employed by the West.因此，俄罗斯总统普京与美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫、贾里德·库什纳周六在克里姆林宫举行的最新会谈，成为重新审视西方所采取战略的重要时刻。The Kremlin announced that the talks were "substantive, constructive and extremely frank", during which Putin reaffirmed Russia's readiness to continue joint work with the US in search of political and diplomatic solutions to the crisis and once again emphasized the necessity of eliminating all root causes of the conflict.克里姆林宫表示，此次会谈“具有实质性、建设性且极其坦诚”。会谈期间，普京重申俄罗斯愿继续与美国开展合作，寻求通过政治和外交方式解决危机，并再次强调，必须消除导致冲突产生的所有根本原因。While any dialogue aimed at ending the conflict is to be welcomed, a genuine resolution that will pave the way to peace has to look beyond the immediate battlefield and address the deeper historical and geopolitical realities that have fueled this crisis.任何旨在结束冲突的对话都值得欢迎。但真正能够开启和平进程的解决方案，必须超越眼前的战场局势，着眼于推动这场危机产生的更深层次历史和地缘政治现实。From the Russian perspective, the Ukraine crisis is a culmination of a long-standing security dilemma. Central to this is the repeated expansion of NATO, which Russia has consistently viewed as a significant threat to its security.从俄罗斯方面的立场来看，乌克兰危机是长期安全困境不断累积的结果。其中一个核心问题在于北约持续扩张，俄罗斯长期以来一直将其视为对自身安全构成的重要威胁。Ultimately, the path to peace lies in political negotiations, not in the perpetuation of the fighting or sanctions. That both Russia and Ukraine have ordered a 72-hour temporary ceasefire during the Moscow talks shows that both are inclined to de-escalation if a path can be agreed.最终，实现和平的道路在于政治谈判，而不是让战事持续下去，或不断延续制裁。俄乌双方在莫斯科会谈期间均宣布实施72小时临时停火，这表明，如果能够找到可行路径，双方都存在缓和局势的意愿。Russia and Ukraine have both displayed remarkable tenacity, but that is all the more reason to stop this grinding crisis — a conflict that the whole world is footing the bill for. The fighting cannot be allowed to continue simply because both sides refuse to yield.俄罗斯和乌克兰都展现出了强大的韧性，但这更说明有必要结束这场旷日持久的危机——这场冲突的代价正在由全世界共同承担。战争不能仅仅因为双方都不愿让步而继续下去。Although Ukraine's defense production capacity is rapidly growing, with US capabilities now stretched by the Middle East crisis, the US administration is increasingly inclined toward withdrawing military aid to Ukraine and pushing for negotiations. Meanwhile, European support for Ukraine faces uncertainty due to tightening budgets and internal divisions.尽管乌克兰国防生产能力正在快速提升，但随着美国在中东危机中的资源和能力承压，美国政府越来越倾向于减少对乌军事援助，并推动通过谈判解决问题。与此同时，欧洲对乌支持也面临不确定性，原因包括财政压力加大以及内部存在分歧。In the interests of peace, the renewed US involvement in mediating the Russia-Ukraine conflict should be conducted in earnest. That means encouraging Russia and Ukraine to come to the negotiating table, addressing the root causes of this crisis, and working toward a balanced, effective and sustainable security architecture for Europe.为了和平，美方重新参与调解俄乌冲突应当以认真、务实的态度推进。这意味着，应鼓励俄罗斯和乌克兰回到谈判桌前，解决这场危机的根本原因，并努力构建一个平衡、有效且可持续的欧洲安全架构。China has consistently adhered to the direction of a political settlement to the Ukraine crisis and has maintained contact with relevant parties for an early end to the crisis. On Tuesday, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, Sun Lei, called on the parties to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the wider international community to step up efforts toward a ceasefire and a political settlement, warning that continued fighting is causing mounting civilian casualties and wider spillover effects.中国始终坚持推动通过政治途径解决乌克兰危机，并持续与有关各方保持沟通，推动危机尽早结束。周二，中国常驻联合国副代表孙磊呼吁俄乌冲突各方以及国际社会进一步加大努力，推动停火和政治解决。他警告称，持续的战事正在造成不断增加的平民伤亡，并产生更广泛的外溢影响。As Sun noted, adding fuel to the fire and exploiting the conflict to create division and confrontation would only make a political settlement more difficult.正如孙磊所指出的那样，拱火助燃、借冲突制造分裂和对抗，只会让政治解决变得更加困难。in good faith /ɪn ɡʊd feɪθ/ phr.真诚地；善意地；以诚意force someone's capitulation /fɔːrs ˈkæpɪtʃuˈleɪʃn/ phr.迫使某方屈服bring the crisis to an end /brɪŋ ðə ˈkraɪsɪs tuː ən end/ phr.结束危机address the root causes /əˈdres ðə ruːt ˈkɔːzɪz/ phr.解决根本原因path to peace /pæθ tuː piːs/ n.和平之路step up efforts /step ʌp ˈefərts/ phr.加大努力；加强行动add fuel to the fire /æd fjuːəl tuː ðə faɪər/ phr.火上浇油；使局势恶化political settlement /pəˈlɪtɪkl ˈsetlmənt/ n.政治解决方案

A decade after President Xi Jinping and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi toured Luxor, a city widely known as one of the world's largest open-air museums, the two leaders again stepped into the world of ancient Egypt — this time at the Grand Egyptian Museum on the Giza Plateau.On Wednesday, during Xi's state visit to Egypt, the two presidents and their wives visited the museum, viewing treasures including the throne, golden mask and royal chariots of Tutankhamun. Surrounded by artifacts tracing thousands of years of Egyptian civilization, Xi called the museum "a book with endless pages".During the tour, Xi noted that China and Egypt are both ancient civilizations and countries rich in World Heritage sites. He called on the two sides to uphold a vision of civilization based on equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness, implement the Global Civilization Initiative, and promote inclusive coexistence and mutual learning among different civilizations.Museums have been repeatedly featured in Xi's engagement with history and civilization — as places for understanding cultural roots and as settings for encounters with other civilizations.In a congratulatory letter to the first UNESCO High-Level Forum on Museums in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, in November 2016, Xi described museums as important places for protecting and passing on human civilizations and as bridges linking the past, present and future, with a special role in exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.Whether on domestic inspection tours or overseas trips, Xi's visits have taken him to many museums, such as the Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan province and the Yinxu Museum in Henan province, key sites of early Chinese civilization.During a visit in April 2021 to the Anthropology Museum of Guangxi in Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Xi said that he made time to visit museums during local inspection tours to better understand a place's historical and cultural development.At a symposium at the Dunhuang Academy in Gansu province in August 2019, Xi spoke about cultural confidence and learning from other civilizations."Only a self-confident civilization can absorb and draw on the achievements of other civilizations while maintaining its own characteristics," he said, calling for broader cultural exchanges with other countries and more active efforts to learn from the achievements of civilizations around the world.Dong Biao, a researcher at Peking University's Institute of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, said museums preserve both the tangible achievements and the cultural and intellectual legacy of human civilizations, enabling people to engage more directly with the creativity, ways of life and ideas of past societies.A deeper understanding of one's own history and culture can strengthen cultural identity and confidence, Dong said.For Xi, museums offer people a chance to discover unfamiliar histories, recognize common threads of human creativity and gain a deeper understanding of one another."In the many places I have visited around the world, what fascinates me the most is civilizations in their rich diversity," Xi said at the opening of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations in May 2019.Xi's overseas visits over the years have included stops at museums and historic sites such as the Amir Timur Museum in Uzbekistan and the ancient Maya ruins of Chichen Itza in Mexico.At the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece, in November 2019, one such cultural encounter unfolded around a single artifact.Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, were visiting the museum with then Greek president Prokopis Pavlopoulos and his wife when they stopped before the relief known as the "Pensive Athena".Pavlopoulos explained that Athena, the goddess of warfare and wisdom in Greek mythology, was resting and contemplating after battle. Xi said she was reflecting on what war meant and cited the ancient Chinese idiom "zhi ge wei wu", which means that to be able to stop war is the true art of war.Xi later said the museum visit had deepened his understanding of ancient Greek civilization and made him further realize how much the Chinese and Greek civilizations have in common.Museums have also served as settings in which Xi introduced China's history and cultural ideas to visiting foreign leaders.During Donald Trump's first state visit to China in November 2017, Xi and Peng accompanied the US president and first lady Melania Trump through the Palace Museum, or Forbidden City.As they walked along its central axis, Xi introduced the history, architecture and culture of the ancient palace. They visited the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony and the Hall of Preserving Harmony, whose names reflect the Chinese cultural ideal of harmony.Wang Yiwei, vice-president of the Academy of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era at Renmin University of China, said that exchanges among civilizations are not only about preserving the past, but also about how societies understand one another in the present.He said the Global Civilization Initiative put forward by Xi reflects this emphasis by calling for respect for the diversity of civilizations and for equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness.At a time of geopolitical rivalry, conflicts and differences over values, Wang said that dialogue among civilizations cannot replace political negotiations or resolve disagreements over national interests. But it can help countries better understand one another's histories, identities and development paths, reduce misperceptions and strengthen the basis for mutual understanding.

China will strengthen civility at sporting events, foster a healthier culture among fans and continue tackling toxic "fan circle" culture in sports to create a cleaner public opinion environment, Gao Zhidan, minister of the General Administration of Sport of China, said on Thursday.国家体育总局局长高志丹表示，我国将加强赛风赛纪建设，培育健康球迷文化，持续整治体育领域不良“饭圈”文化，营造风清气正的舆论环境。"We must make a determined effort to improve conduct across the sector and ensure that sports are filled with sunshine and positive energy," Gao said.高志丹称：“我们必须下大力气纠治行业风气，让体育事业充满阳光与正能量。”Gao made the remarks at a news conference held by the State Council Information Office in Beijing as part of the "Embarking on the 15th FiveYear Plan" series, outlining plans for building China into a leading sporting nation during the 202630 period.这场发布会是国务院新闻办在北京举办的“迈向‘十五五'”系列新闻发布会之一。会上，高志丹介绍了20262030年期间建设体育强国的相关规划。Sports are closely linked to people's health and wellbeing and are also an important part of China's broader national development, Gao said. Over the next five years, the country will promote the coordinated development of public fitness, competitive sports, youth sports, the sports industry, sports culture and sector governance.高志丹表示，体育事关人民身心健康福祉，也是国家发展大局的重要组成部分。未来五年，我国将推动全民健身、竞技体育、青少年体育、体育产业、体育文化、行业治理协同发展。Meanwhile, authorities will step up efforts to address unhealthy fan culture, online violence and other misconduct in sports, while strengthening integrity and governance across the sector.与此同时，有关部门将加大力度整治不良球迷文化、网络暴力以及体育领域各类失范行为，强化体育行业作风建设与行业治理。The General Administration of Sport will continue its campaign to tackle problems including fraud, match manipulation and violence at sporting events, while improving regulations and the sports integrity system, and advancing anticorruption efforts.国家体育总局将持续开展专项整治，严厉打击体育赛事弄虚作假、假球黑哨、赛场暴力等问题，不断完善规章制度与体育行风建设体系，深入推进反腐败工作。Reviewing the progress during the 14th FiveYear Plan period (202125), Gao said China had made new advances in sports development, with public participation in fitness activities growing and the Chinese delegation achieving its bestever results at an overseas Olympic Games at the Paris Olympics.回顾“十四五”时期（20212025）建设成果，高志丹指出，我国体育事业发展取得新进展，群众健身参与度不断提升；中国代表团在巴黎奥运会上取得境外参赛奥运会历史最佳战绩。Mass sporting events such as city and village football leagues have also gained popularity, while winter sports and the sports event economy have developed rapidly, he said.城乡足球联赛等群众赛事活动火热开展，冰雪运动、赛事经济快速发展。In public fitness, China aims to further improve its public service system, with per capita sports venue space reaching about 4 square meters and the proportion of people who regularly exercise rising to around 40 percent by 2030.全民健身方面，我国将进一步完善公共服务体系，目标到2030年，人均体育场地面积达到4平方米左右，经常参加体育锻炼人数比例提升至40%左右。During the next five years, the country plans to build or renovate more than 5,000 small and micro sports parks, community fitness centers, multifunctional sports grounds and public skating venues.未来五年，我国计划新建、改扩建5000个以上小型微型体育公园、社区健身中心、多功能运动场以及公共冰雪滑冰场地。Chen Xingnian, director of the General Administration of Sport's department of mass sports, said the new round of the national fitness plan would focus on making services more targeted, broader in reach, smarter, more integrated and better regulated.国家体育总局群众体育司司长陈杏年表示，新一轮全民健身计划将着力实现体育服务精准化、普惠化、智慧化、融合化、规范化。In competitive sports, China will shift toward more comprehensive development centered on the "633"framework, covering six traditional strengths — diving, gymnastics, weightlifting, shooting, table tennis and badminton — as well as athletics, swimming and water sports, and basketball, volleyball and football.竞技体育领域，我国将以“633”布局推动全面均衡发展：巩固跳水、体操、举重、射击、乒乓球、羽毛球六大传统优势项目；发展田径、游泳、水上项目；振兴篮球、排球、足球三大球。"The revitalization of the three major ball sports is an expectation of the people and a key focus of our work," Gao said.高志丹说：“三大球振兴是人民群众的期盼，也是我们工作的重中之重。”China will strive to remain among the world's leading sporting nations in terms of world championship titles and seek further success at major international events, including the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028 and the 2030 Winter Olympic Games in the French Alps.我国力争继续稳居世界竞技体育第一方阵，在2028洛杉矶奥运会、2030法国阿尔卑斯山冬奥会等国际重大赛事上再创佳绩。China has also set a target of expanding its sports industry to more than 7 trillion yuan ($1.04 trillion) by 2030.我国提出发展目标：到2030年体育产业总规模超过7万亿元（折合1.04万亿美元）。Yang Xuedong, director of the administration's department of sports economy, said efforts would focus on improving the quality and accessibility of sporting events, developing 100 highquality outdoor sports destinations and accelerating the use of technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual sports, smart venues and wearable devices.体育经济司司长杨雪鸫表示，下一步将重点提升赛事品质与普惠性，打造100个高品质户外运动目的地；加快人工智能、虚拟体育、智慧场馆、可穿戴运动设备等技术落地应用。China will also further integrate sports and education, improve talent development systems for young athletes and increase grassroots sporting opportunities, particularly in remote areas.我国还将深化体教融合，完善青少年体育人才培养体系，扩大基层尤其是偏远地区青少年参与体育运动的机会。toxic /ˈtɒksɪk/有毒的；有害的manipulation /məˌnɪpjuˈleɪʃn/操纵，操控coordinated /kəʊˈɔːdɪneɪtɪd/协同的，统筹的misconduct /ˌmɪsˈkɒndʌkt/不当行为revitalization /ˌriːˌvaɪtəlaɪˈzeɪʃn/振兴，复苏

Summer vacation is entering its final stretch, and a familiar tension is rising in households across China. Children are staying up late, glued to screens, and reacting with groans or mysterious stomachaches at the mere mention of “school.” This isn‘t defiance or laziness—it's a real physiological and psychological adjustment reaction, often called “Back-to-school syndrome.” In this episode of CD Voice, we draw on insights from child psychiatrists and developmental experts to understand the brain science behind the resistance—the tug-of-war between the fast-reacting amygdala and the still-developing prefrontal cortex. We also offer five practical, science-backed strategies for a smoother transition: gradual sleep adjustment, screen-free evenings, regular meals and outdoor activity, empathetic listening, and small rituals that restore a sense of control. Ultimately, the most important thing a parent can offer isn't a perfect plan—it‘s calm, steady presence. This isn't a story about discipline. It‘s a story about gentle preparation.

President Xi Jinping returned to Beijing on Thursday morning after attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek and concluding state visits to Kyrgyzstan and Egypt.Officials and experts said the five-day trip, covering more than 20 bilateral and multilateral events across Central Asia and the Middle East, responded to international calls for peace, stability and development with concrete efforts, offering Chinese solutions and insights to a world of intertwined changes and turbulence.Speaking at a news briefing in Cairo upon the conclusion of the trip, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that with solidarity and cooperation as its central theme, the trip was significant for building consensus on cooperation and for reforming and improving global governance.In Bishkek, Xi attended the 26th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO as the organization marked its 25th anniversary this year.At the summit, Xi announced that China would establish a China-SCO port economic cooperation center in Tianjin and a China-SCO basic education cooperation center, and implement 100 technological cooperation projects with other SCO countries over the next three years.Leaders of the member states signed and issued the Bishkek Declaration, approved the protocol on amendments and additions to the SCO Charter, and adopted 28 outcome documents covering areas such as security, economic and people-to-people cooperation, as well as organizational development.The strategic blueprint drawn up at last year's Tianjin summit is becoming a reality step by step, Wang said, noting that the SCO now has a more optimized structure, more efficient operation and stronger cooperation.According to Wang, in Kyrgyzstan, the two heads of state reached important consensus on further deepening the two nations' comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era and advancing the building of a China-Kyrgyzstan community with a shared future. Bilateral relations are now at their best in history, he said.Wang said the most important political outcome of the visit was the signing of the treaty on permanent good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation. The treaty enshrines the two countries' commitment to lasting friendship in legal form and opens broader prospects for bilateral relations, he said.Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Zheenbek Kulubaev told reporters that as a result of Monday's meeting of the heads of state, Kyrgyzstan and China have raised the strategic partnership to a high-quality level of development.This reflects the high level of political trust and confidence between the two countries and their readiness to further deepen cooperation, he said.Xi's trip to Egypt was the first state visit to the country by a Chinese president in a decade and coincided with the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.According to Wang, Xi has emphasized that China, whether in the past, at present or in the future, is Egypt's trustworthy and dependable comprehensive strategic partner.Wang described Xi's historic visit to Egypt as both a journey to renew friendship and one to expand cooperation, calling it a milestone that fully demonstrates the strategic and exemplary nature of China-Egypt relations.Zoon Ahmed Khan, a researcher at the Belt and Road Institute of Tsinghua University, said Xi's visit reflected an ongoing transformation in which the two ancient civilizations are advancing from mere markets and transit corridors into creators of their own shared agency."The true vitality of this partnership lies in its tangible momentum," she said, pointing to industrial hubs, local-currency financing, space technology and job-creating projects as examples of political trust being translated into productive capacity and practical South-South cooperation.Ayman Mohseb, a member of Egypt's House of Representatives, said that closer China-Egypt coordination could help ease regional tensions, promote dialogue and political settlements, and contribute to a more balanced and equitable international order.During his talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Xi put forward a four-point proposal on building a new security architecture in the Middle East via upholding a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security.He called for fostering the internal driving force for regional security, adopting a comprehensive approach to advancing common security in the region, consolidating the foundation for common security through development and strengthening international coordination.Wang also highlighted the cultural and people-to-people dimensions.Peng Liyuan, Xi's wife, took part in cultural activities with Aigul Japarova, the wife of the Kyrgyz president, and Entissar El-Sisi, the wife of the Egyptian president. The activities added a warm cultural dimension and helped strengthen mutual understanding, people-to-people bonds and cultural exchanges, Wang said.

A fresh wave of price hikes has hit China's smartphone market, as Huawei, Xiaomi and Honor increased retail prices for several current models by between 200 ($29.75) and 1,000 yuan, triggering heated chatter on social media.新一轮涨价潮席卷中国智能手机市场，华为、小米和荣耀将多款在售机型的零售价格上调了200元（约合29.75美元）至1000元不等，引发社交媒体热议。The coordinated adjustments come amid tightened memory chip supply and sustained price increases for key semiconductors.这轮集体调价正值存储芯片供应趋紧、关键半导体价格持续上涨之际。Huawei led the increases, with its Mate 80 series jumping by as much as 1,000 yuan on Tuesday, while the 90 Pro Max sold for an extra 200 yuan. Xiaomi, which had already adjusted prices on Aug 2, raised the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Pro by 300 yuan each — its second hike in less than a month.华为率先涨价，其Mate 80系列周二涨幅高达1000元，90 Pro Max则上涨200元。小米已于8月2日调价一次，随后将小米17和17 Pro各上调300元——这是其不到一个月内的第二次涨价。Honor followed suit, lifting its Power2 by 500 and 600 yuan for its two variants, and increasing its flagship Magic8 series by 300 to 500 yuan across versions, bringing post-hike prices to between 4,799 and 5,999 yuan.荣耀紧随其后，将其Power2的两款机型分别上调500元和600元，旗舰Magic8系列各版本上调300至500元，涨价后售价在4799元至5999元之间。In response to the increases, a Huawei customer service representative said the upward adjustments were necessary because "market prices of key materials have changed, leading to higher production costs".针对此次涨价，华为客服代表表示，上调价格是必要的，因为“关键材料的市场价格发生了变化，导致生产成本上升”。At the crux of the surge is a structural imbalance in global memory chip supplies. As artificial intelligence model training and AI server infrastructure expand at a breakneck pace, major memory makers — Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron — have shifted substantial high-end capacity toward high-margin HBM (high bandwidth memory), mainly used in servers, thus directly squeezing the supply of handset-oriented DRAM and NAND memory chips. That supply crunch has sent mobile memory prices soaring.本轮涨价的根源在于全球存储芯片供应的结构性失衡。随着人工智能模型训练和AI服务器基础设施以惊人速度扩张，三星、SK海力士和美光等主要存储芯片制造商已将大量高端产能转向主要用于服务器的高利润HBM（高带宽内存），从而直接挤压了面向手机的DRAM和NAND存储芯片的供应。这种供应紧张已推动手机存储芯片价格飙升。Market research firm Trend-Force said in a recent report that memory prices have accumulated a five- to seven-fold increase since the start of 2025, forcing brands to either raise prices sharply or discontinue product lines that have turned loss-making.市场研究机构集邦咨询在近期报告中称，自2025年初以来，存储芯片价格已累计上涨五至七倍，迫使品牌要么大幅提价，要么停产已陷入亏损的产品线。The cost pressure, however, is no longer limited to storage. In late July, Qualcomm Inc CEO Cristiano Amon said the chipmaker planned to raise its product prices effective Sept 1.然而，成本压力已不再局限于存储领域。7月下旬，高通公司首席执行官克里斯蒂亚诺·阿蒙表示，这家芯片制造商计划自9月1日起上调产品价格。Amon explained that the hike reflects broader cost increases across the supply chain. This means smartphone makers now face a dual squeeze from both memory and SoC (system-on-chip) costs — a major factor behind the simultaneous retail price adjustments seen on Tuesday.阿蒙解释说，此次涨价反映了整个供应链更广泛的成本上升。这意味着智能手机制造商现在面临着来自存储芯片和SoC（系统级芯片）成本的双重挤压——这也是周二零售端集体调价的主要原因。The current round of price increases differs somewhat from previous ones. In the past, price hikes typically accompanied new product launches, justified by upgraded features or specifications, experts said.专家表示，本轮涨价与此前有所不同。过去，涨价通常伴随新品发布，并以功能或规格升级作为理由。This time around, however, brands are directly raising prices on devices already available in the market. Xiaomi's case is particularly telling: its Tuesday increase came less than a month after its Aug 2 hike, indicating that manufacturers are passing on costs gradually through multiple small adjustments rather than a single large spike, as component costs remain stubbornly elevated.然而，这一次品牌直接上调了已在售机型的售价。小米的案例尤为典型：其周二涨价距离8月2日的上一轮涨价不到一个月，表明在元器件成本持续高企的情况下，制造商正通过多次小幅调整而非一次性大幅提价来逐步转嫁成本。Top executives had already hinted at the coming price increases. On Aug 5, Huawei's executive director and chairman of its terminal business group, Yu Chengdong, warned that "with memory prices so high, all phones may have to see large-scale price rises in the future; otherwise, they would be sold at a loss".企业高管此前已暗示即将到来的涨价。8月5日，华为常务董事、终端BG董事长余承东警告称：“存储芯片价格这么高，未来所有手机可能都不得不大幅涨价，否则就会亏本销售。”In a May livestreaming session, Xiaomi President Lu Weibing predicted that by the second half, some domestic flagship slab phones could break through the 10,000-yuan price barrier.在5月的一次直播中，小米总裁卢伟冰预测，到下半年，部分国产旗舰直板手机可能突破万元价格关口。Indeed, the industry has been grappling with rising prices since the third quarter of last year. Almost every major brand — Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Huawei and Honor — has raised retail prices to varying degrees, with mid-range and entry-level models typically seeing increases of 300 to 500 yuan, while high-end flagships and foldables have recorded hikes exceeding 1,000 yuan.事实上，自去年第三季度以来，整个行业一直在应对价格上涨压力。几乎所有主流品牌——三星、OPPO、vivo、华为和荣耀——都不同程度地上调了零售价格，中端和入门级机型通常上涨300至500元，而高端旗舰机和折叠屏机型的涨幅则超过1000元。According to US market research firm International Data Corp, China's smartphone shipments in the second quarter stood at approximately 66 million units, a year-on-year decline of 4.3 percent, continuing a streak of quarterly drops. For the first half, total shipments reached about 134 million units, down 4.2 percent from the same period last year.据美国市场研究机构国际数据公司（IDC）数据，第二季度中国智能手机出货量约为6600万部，同比下降4.3%，延续了季度下滑趋势。上半年总出货量约为1.34亿部，较去年同期下降4.2%。coordinated adjustments /kəʊˈɔːdɪneɪtɪd əˈdʒʌstmənts/集体调价memory chip /ˈmeməri tʃɪp/存储芯片semiconductor /ˌsemikənˈdʌktə/半导体high-end /haɪ end/高端的high-margin /haɪ ˈmɑːdʒɪn/高利润的structural imbalance /ˈstrʌktʃərəl ɪmˈbæləns/结构性失衡breakneck pace /ˈbreɪknek peɪs/惊人的速度supply crunch /səˈplaɪ krʌntʃ/供应紧张loss-making /ˈlɒs ˈmeɪkɪŋ/亏损的dual squeeze /ˈdjuːəl skwiːz/双重挤压

President Xi Jinping called on Tuesday for joint efforts to advance an equal and orderly multipolar world and make global governance more just and equitable, saying that Global South countries should have greater representation and a stronger voice in international affairs.周二，习近平主席呼吁各方携手努力，推动构建平等有序的多极世界，让全球治理更加公正合理，指出全球南方国家应当在国际事务中拥有更多代表性与更大发言权。Xi made the remarks at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Plus Meeting in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, which focused on strengthening the role of the United Nations and building a multipolar world.习近平在吉尔吉斯斯坦首都比什凯克举行的“上海合作组织+”会议上发表上述讲话，本次会议聚焦加强联合国作用、构建多极世界。Against the backdrop of accelerating changes unseen in a century, Xi said that hegemonism, unilateralism and protectionism are resurging against historical trends. Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority of the world does not condone power politics, conflict and confrontation, or isolation and backwardness, he said, adding that what most people want instead is to hold a place on the world stage through national development and international cooperation.习近平表示，在世界百年变局加速演进的背景下，霸权主义、单边主义、保护主义逆历史潮流回潮。但世界绝大多数国家并不认同强权政治、冲突对抗、封闭落后，绝大多数国家所期盼的，是通过本国发展与国际合作在世界舞台上占有一席之地。Noting that the rise of the Global South is driving a profound shift in the international balance of power, Xi said that the trend toward a multipolar world is irreversible.习近平指出，全球南方的崛起推动国际力量对比发生深刻变化，世界多极化趋势不可逆转。"As a responsible major country, China advocates for an equal and orderly multipolar world," he said.他指出：“作为负责任大国，中国倡导平等有序的多极世界。”The Chinese president identified sovereign equality and mutual respect as fundamental principles, balance, order and the rule of law as inherent requirements, multilateralism, dialogue and consultation as essential pathways, and mutual benefit, winwin cooperation and inclusiveness as the way forward for development.习近平主席将主权平等、相互尊重定为根本原则；均衡有序、法治至上作为内在要求；多边主义、对话协商作为重要路径；互利共赢、包容普惠作为发展方向。"We should ensure equal rights, equal opportunities and equal rules for all countries, regardless of their size, strength and wealth," Xi said.习近平表示：“国家不分大小、强弱、贫富，我们应当保障各国享有平等权利、平等机会、平等规则。”The common values of humanity should be upheld, while double standards, exceptionalism, foreign interference, bullying and the law of the jungle should be rejected, he said.他指出，应当弘扬全人类共同价值，摒弃双重标准、例外主义、外来干涉、霸凌行径以及丛林法则。He added that major countries, in particular, should "take the lead in observing international norms and honoring the rule of law", and work together to tackle global challenges.他补充道，大国尤其要“带头遵守国际准则、恪守法治”，携手应对全球性挑战。"World affairs should be discussed by all, and international norms should be set by all. The authority and vitality of the UN need to be restored," Xi said.习近平表示：“世界的事情由各国共商，国际规则由各国共定，要恢复联合国的权威与活力。”He also called for focusing on the development agenda, upholding openness and cooperation, and bridging the digital and artificial intelligence divides, so that the technological revolution and development achievements can benefit all nations.他同时呼吁聚焦发展议题，坚持开放合作，弥合数字鸿沟与人工智能鸿沟，让科技革命与发展成果惠及所有国家。Xi said that after a 25year journey, the SCO has successfully set a stellar example in conducting relations among big countries, among neighbors and among countries of different sizes.习近平表示，历经25载发展，上合组织为大国之间、邻国之间、大小不同国家之间处理国际关系树立了光辉典范。To advance common prosperity in the vast region straddling Asia and Europe, Xi called for harnessing "SCO Strength" and connecting multiple growth poles across the continent through highquality Belt and Road cooperation.为推动横跨欧亚广袤区域实现共同繁荣，习近平呼吁发挥“上合力量”，通过高质量共建“一带一路”，联通欧亚大陆多个增长极。Xi also called on the SCO to promote the development and rise of the Global South through "SCO Wisdom", urging all sides to carry forward the Shanghai Spirit and strengthen and expand the SCO Plus partnerships. He said that "SCO Action" should guide the reform and improvement of global governance.习近平同时呼吁上合组织运用“上合智慧”助力全球南方发展振兴，敦促各方弘扬上海精神，巩固拓展“上合组织+”伙伴关系，以“上合行动”引领全球治理改革完善。Tuesday's meeting came exactly one year after Xi proposed the Global Governance Initiative at the SCO Plus Meeting in Tianjin. The initiative has since received support from nearly 160 countries and international organizations, while more than 60 countries have joined the Group of Friends of Global Governance.本次周二举行的会议，距离习近平主席在天津“上合组织+”会议上提出全球治理倡议恰好过去一年。该倡议已得到近160个国家和国际组织支持，60多个国家加入全球治理之友小组。Li Yonghui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies, said that the rise of the Global South and emerging economies is accelerating the shift toward a multipolar world. Li said that the SCO provides a practical example of cooperation among countries with different social systems and at different stages of development.中国社会科学院俄罗斯东欧中亚研究所研究员李勇慧表示，全球南方与新兴经济体的崛起正在加速世界多极化进程。他认为，上合组织为不同社会制度、不同发展阶段国家开展合作提供了现实范例。multipolar /ˌmʌltiˈpəʊlə(r)/多极的hegemonism /hɪˈɡemənɪzəm/霸权主义unilateralism /ˌjuːnɪˈlætərəlɪzəm/单边主义protectionism /prəˈtekʃənɪzəm/保护主义multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/多边主义inclusiveness /ɪnˈkluːsɪvnəs/包容性

The Ministry of Natural Resources has conducted a comprehensive marine geophysical survey in waters under China's jurisdiction east of Taiwan Island to improve understanding of seabed geology and support marine management.自然资源部在中国台湾岛以东我国管辖海域开展了一次综合性海洋地球物理勘测，旨在加深对海底地质情况的了解，为海洋管理工作提供支撑。The survey was carried out by the ministry's Second Institute of Oceanography from Aug 10 to 31, according to the ministry.据该部门介绍，本次勘测由自然资源部第二海洋研究所于8月10日31日实施。Researchers used multiple survey techniques simultaneously, including multibeam sonar, multichannel seismic exploration, oceanbottom seismometers, and gravity and magnetic measurements.科研人员同步运用了多种勘测技术，包括多波束声呐、多道地震勘探、海底地震仪以及重力与磁力测量。The survey collected basic environmental data on seabed topography, sedimentary layers, deep geological structures and geophysical fields, the ministry said.自然资源部表示，本次勘测采集了有关海底地形、沉积地层、深部地质构造以及地球物理场的基础环境数据。The data will help researchers further examine the geological and geophysical characteristics of the seabed east of Taiwan Island, including seabed sediments, tectonic structures, deep crustal architecture and geological evolution.这些数据将助力科研人员进一步探究台湾岛以东海域海底的地质与地球物理特征，涵盖海底沉积物、构造结构、深部地壳构造以及地质演化过程。The survey will also provide a scientific basis for the comprehensive management of waters under China's jurisdiction in the area, while contributing data to the development of a unified spatial planning database, the ministry said.自然资源部称，本次勘测也将为该区域我国管辖海域的综合管理提供科学依据，同时为建设统一的空间规划数据库贡献相关数据。geophysical /ˌdʒiːəʊˈfɪzɪkl/地球物理的jurisdiction /ˌdʒʊərɪsˈdɪkʃn/管辖权；管辖区域sedimentary /ˌsedɪˈmentri/沉积的tectonic /tekˈtɒnɪk/构造的（地质）crustal /ˈkrʌstl/地壳的

Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife, Peng Liyuan, visited on Wednesday the Grand Egyptian Museum accompanied by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and his wife.The two heads of state and their spouses took in the exquisite and imposing stone carvings and inscribed stone pillars. They then gazed out at the pyramids from the museum's observation deck.Entering the Tutankhamun exhibition hall, the two presidents viewed such prized treasures as the pharaoh's throne, the golden mask and royal chariots.Noting that China and Egypt are both ancient civilizations and countries rich in World Heritage sites, Xi said that across time and space, the two civilizations have been reaching out to each other, adding new chapters of everlasting friendship between the two peoples.Xi called on both sides to uphold the vision of civilization based on equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness, and implement the Global Civilization Initiative.He also urged the two countries to promote the inclusive coexistence and mutual learning among different civilizations, and pool greater strength from civilizations to advance the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.Sisi thanked Xi for extending congratulations on the opening of the museum last year. He said the ancient Egyptian and Chinese civilizations share the qualities of openness, inclusiveness and harmonious coexistence amid diversity, which closely aligns with the vision of the Global Civilization Initiative proposed by Xi.The Egyptian side stands ready to work with China to step up people-to-people and cultural exchanges, promote mutual learning among civilizations, and make the world more harmonious and inclusive, Sisi said.Grand Egyptian Museum大埃及博物馆observation deck观景平台golden mask黄金面具Global Civilization Initiative全球文明倡议community with a shared future for humanity人类命运共同体

President Xi Jinping called on Tuesday for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to prioritize development and security to usher in a future of shared prosperity and foster an environment of universal security.Xi made the remarks when addressing the 26th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO, which was held in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. He underlined the need for the SCO to remain committed to dialogue and consultation for more equitable and orderly governance.In his speech, Xi hailed the extraordinary journey of the regional organization over the past 25 years, saying that it has grown into a new type of regional cooperation grouping with the largest land area and population and enormous development potential. Founded in 2001 by China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, the SCO now comprises 10 member states, two observer states and 15 dialogue partners.Xi said that the most valuable spiritual asset of the regional grouping is that it pioneered, and has since invariably followed, the Shanghai Spirit featuring mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for the diversity of civilizations and pursuit of common development.Its most important cooperation experience is that it has found the right way of coexistence, featuring nonalliance, nonconfrontation and not targeting any third party, enabling countries in the region to build a common home together, he added.As the world is undergoing accelerated changes unseen in a century, with the intensifying rivalry between dialogue and confrontation, win-win and zero-sum, and multilateralism and unilateralism, Xi urged the SCO to step forward to shoulder its historical responsibility and proactively steer the course for the future.He also called for the SCO to advocate universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, solidify cooperation in traditional fields such as trade, investment, mutual connectivity, energy and resources, and expand cooperation in emerging fields like artificial intelligence, digital economy, green industry and green mining in order to deepen and upgrade regional cooperation.China sees the SCO as a priority area for promoting high-quality Belt and Road cooperation and implementing the Global Development Initiative, he said.In 2025, China's trade with other SCO members reached $523.5 billion and accounted for 8 percent of the country's total foreign trade, up from $12.1 billion in 2001, according to statistics from the Ministry of Commerce.Xi urged the SCO countries to take coordinated measures to tackle traditional and nontraditional security threats, and he called for efforts to prevent external forces from interfering in their internal affairs, endangering their political security and undermining regional stability.China is willing to work with all parties to practice a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept and make the SCO an important platform for implementing the Global Security Initiative, he added.Xi also emphasized the need for the SCO countries to uphold a people-centered approach and cement the foundation for everlasting friendship. China stands ready to work with all parties to implement the Global Civilization Initiative, he added.The summit was chaired by President Sadyr Japarov of Kyrgyzstan, which holds the current rotating presidency of the SCO.The leaders of the SCO member states fully affirmed the development achievements of the SCO over the past 25 years, recognizing that the SCO provides important guarantees for regional security and prosperity and has become one of the cornerstones of global stability and economic development.They praised China's significant contributions as a founding member state in promoting the organization's development and agreed to actively implement the strategic blueprint from the SCO Tianjin Summit in 2025.In the face of a complex international situation, SCO member states should work together to enhance the organization's influence, promote the building of a more just and reasonable global governance system, and play a greater role in safeguarding the peace, stability and prosperity of the region and the world, they said.Leaders of the SCO member states signed and issued the Bishkek Declaration on the 25th Anniversary of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, approved the Protocol on Amending and Supplementing the Charter of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Regulations on the SCO Universal Center for Countering Security Challenges and Threats, and the Regulations on the SCO Anti-Drug Center, and adopted 28 outcome documents covering security, economic, people-to-people and cultural cooperation, as well as organizational development.It was decided at the summit that Pakistan will assume the rotating presidency of the SCO for 2026-27.Li Ziguo, director and research fellow in the Department for European-Central Asian Studies at the China Institute of International Studies, said the summit could give fresh impetus to implementing the outcomes of last year's summit and help move the SCO into a stage of pursuing development in tandem.Sun Zhuangzhi, director of the Institute of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, described China's efforts in practicing the Shanghai Spirit as an important driving force behind the SCO.prosperity / prɒˈsperəti / n.繁荣；兴旺governance / ˈɡʌvənəns / n.治理；管理；治理体系mutual benefit / ˌmjuːtʃuəl ˈbenɪfɪt / n.互利；共同利益win-win / ˌwɪn ˈwɪn / adj./n.双赢的；双赢局面zero-sum / ˌzɪərəʊ ˈsʌm / adj.零和的；一方获益必然意味着另一方受损的multilateralism / ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm / n.多边主义unilateralism / ˌjuːnɪˈlætərəlɪzəm / n.单边主义mutual connectivity / ˌmjuːtʃuəl ˌkɒnekˈtɪvəti / n.互联互通

China's second batch of emergency humanitarian aid for Nepal's mudslide relief efforts arrived in Kathmandu on Tuesday, following devastating mudslides triggered by a glacier collapse on Aug 26.中国第二批援助尼泊尔泥石流救灾工作的紧急人道主义物资于周二运抵加德满都。8月26日，尼泊尔发生冰川崩塌并引发严重泥石流灾害。The shipment weighed about 5.8 metric tons and included urgently needed supplies such as water purification and lighting equipment, genetic testing equipment and drones, according to Luo Feiyu, a staff member with the China International Center for Economic and Technical Exchanges under the Ministry of Commerce.据中国商务部国际经济技术交流中心工作人员罗飞宇介绍，这批援助物资重约5.8吨，包括灾区急需的净水和照明设备、基因检测设备以及无人机等。The supplies were urgently sourced, consolidated and transported overnight through coordination between the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs, the China International Development Cooperation Agency and other departments, Luo said.罗飞宇表示，在中国外交部、商务部、海关总署、国家国际发展合作署等部门协调配合下，这批物资紧急筹措、快速集结，并连夜运往尼泊尔。Five experts from Shenzhen also departed for the disaster-hit areas in Nepal on Tuesday.与此同时，来自深圳的5名专家也于周二启程前往尼泊尔受灾地区。Chinese DNA identification experts will also travel to the affected areas to assist Nepal with its relief efforts, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a regular news conference on Tuesday.中国外交部发言人郭嘉昆周二在例行记者会上表示，中方DNA鉴定专家也将赴灾区，协助尼泊尔开展救灾工作。A sudden glacier collapse in Nepal's border area on Aug 26 triggered severe mudslides, causing significant casualties and leaving many people missing in both China and Nepal.8月26日，尼泊尔边境地区突发冰川崩塌，引发严重泥石流，造成中尼两国大量人员伤亡和失踪。According to the latest figures as of 1 pm on Tuesday from Nepal's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, the death toll had risen to 1,003, while 3,916 people remained missing.据尼泊尔国家减灾与管理局最新数据，截至周二下午1时，灾害已造成1003人死亡，另有3916人失踪。As rescue and relief operations continued on the Chinese side of the border, China moved quickly to provide emergency assistance to Nepal.在中国境内一侧持续开展抢险救援工作的同时，中方迅速行动，向尼泊尔提供紧急援助。China has provided $2 million in emergency cash assistance to the Nepalese government, while the Red Cross Society of China has provided $200,000 to Nepal's Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund, according to the Chinese embassy in Nepal.据中国驻尼泊尔大使馆介绍，中国已向尼泊尔政府提供200万美元紧急现汇援助，中国红十字会还向尼泊尔总理救灾基金提供20万美元援助。The first batch of 13,200 relief items, weighing 50 tons and including tents, blankets, sleeping bags, compressed food and first-aid kits, arrived in Kathmandu on Sunday. Two teams of Chinese tunnel rescue experts have also reached the disaster-hit areas in Nepal.首批援助物资已于周日运抵加德满都，共计1.32万件、重50吨，包括帐篷、毛毯、睡袋、压缩食品和急救包等。目前，两支中国隧道救援专家队也已抵达尼泊尔受灾地区。"Providing emergency assistance to the disaster-hit areas in Nepal and carrying out international rescue cooperation is an important political decision made by China and reflects China's friendship with Nepal," Guo said at a news conference on Tuesday.郭嘉昆在周二的记者会上表示：“向尼泊尔灾区提供紧急援助、开展国际救援合作，是中方作出的一项重要政治决定，体现了中国对尼泊尔的友好情谊。”He noted that China and Nepal have long maintained sound cooperation in meteorology, water resources and disaster prevention and mitigation.他指出，中尼两国长期以来在气象、水资源以及防灾减灾等领域保持着良好合作。"Since the disaster occurred, China and Nepal have maintained smooth communication on personnel search and rescue, information sharing and the prevention of secondary disasters. China has continued to provide Nepal with meteorological and hydrological data, conduct professional consultations and provide relevant early-warning information," he said.“灾害发生以来，中尼双方在人员搜救、信息共享和防范次生灾害等方面始终保持顺畅沟通。中方持续向尼方提供气象、水文数据，开展专业会商，并提供相关预警信息。”郭嘉昆说。China will continue to support Nepal's disaster relief efforts and deepen cooperation with the country in disaster prevention and mitigation to safeguard the shared interests of the two peoples, he added.他表示，中方将继续支持尼泊尔开展救灾工作，进一步深化两国在防灾减灾领域的合作，共同维护两国人民的共同利益。emergency humanitarian aid / ɪˈmɜːdʒənsi hjuːˌmænɪˈteəriən eɪd / n.紧急人道主义援助mudslide / ˈmʌdslaɪd / n.泥石流；山体滑坡glacier collapse / ˈɡlæsiə kəˈlæps / n.冰川崩塌relief efforts / rɪˈliːf ˈefəts / n.救灾工作；救援行动casualty / ˈkæʒuəlti / n.伤亡人员；伤亡death toll / ˈdeθ təʊl / n.死亡人数；死亡人数统计disaster prevention and mitigation / dɪˈzɑːstə prɪˈvenʃn ænd ˌmɪtɪˈɡeɪʃn / n.防灾减灾

Around 8 am on Monday, Kelsang Palmo began packing luggage for her son, who was about to start junior high school in the Gyirong county seat, about 70 kilometers away.周一早上8点左右，格桑白姆开始为儿子收拾行李。新学期即将开始，儿子要前往约70公里外的吉隆县城读初中。She stuffed a backpack with homemade Tibetan flatbread, apples, packaged cakes, cold medication and a thermos, along with a suitcase containing winter clothing and other daily necessities.她往背包里塞进自家做的藏式饼、苹果、包装糕点、感冒药和一个保温杯，又准备了一个行李箱，装上冬衣和其他生活必需品。After a mudslide struck Gyirong Port in the Xizang autonomous region on Wednesday morning, Kelsang Palmo and her family from Kopa village, near the hardest-hit border crossing, were relocated to a hotel to avoid secondary disasters.上周三上午，西藏自治区吉隆口岸发生泥石流。格桑白姆一家来自口岸附近的郭巴村，这里也是受灾最严重的地区之一。为防范次生灾害，一家人随后被转移到一家酒店临时安置。Despite the disruption caused by the mudslide, authorities have tried to maintain a sense of normalcy for local villagers, allowing the rituals and rhythms of daily life to continue.尽管突如其来的灾害打乱了原有生活，当地仍在尽力让村民的日子恢复常态，让熟悉的生活节奏和习俗得以延续。Kelsang Palmo's son was among five children staying at the hotel who were picked up by an arranged vehicle around noon on Monday and taken to junior high school.周一中午前后，包括格桑白姆儿子在内的五名暂住酒店的孩子，乘坐统一安排的车辆前往初中报到。Throughout the morning, doors were left open as neighbors popped in and out of rooms, offering khata — silk scarves traditionally presented when welcoming or seeing off guests — to the children.整个上午，酒店房间的门大多敞开着，邻里不时串门，为即将离开的孩子献上哈达。在当地传统中，哈达常用于迎送宾客，寄托祝福。"In our tradition, each household also gives departing students some pocket money — maybe 5 to 10 yuan ($0.74 to $1.48) — as a blessing, and also so that they have some change to buy snacks while away from home," said Karma, head of Kopa village.“按照我们的习俗，每户人家还会给要出门上学的孩子一点零花钱，一般是5元到10元，既是送上一份祝福，也让他们离家后手里有点零钱，可以买些零食。”郭巴村村长噶玛说。The temporary shelter at the hotel provides free accommodation, including three meals a day, as well as medical care and psychological support, for about 120 relocated residents from Kopa and Trungsi villages.目前，来自郭巴村和冲色村的约120名转移群众被临时安置在这家酒店。这里免费提供住宿和一日三餐，同时配备医疗服务和心理疏导。"We also have a group of volunteers helping address their needs. These past few days, some have accompanied parents who are not familiar with this area to nearby stores to purchase items such as winter jackets for their children," Karma said.“我们还有一支志愿者队伍，帮助大家解决各种实际需求。这几天，有些家长对周边环境不熟悉，志愿者就陪他们去附近商店，给孩子购买冬衣等用品。”噶玛说。As relocated villagers are unable to tend to their cattle, chickens or crops at home, several officials have also remained in the village to help with poultry and farm work.村民转移后，无法回家照料牛、鸡和田里的庄稼。为此，一些工作人员仍留守村里，帮忙喂养家禽家畜、料理农活。"They stay in facilities that have passed safety inspections, and we are constantly monitoring local environmental conditions to ensure their safety as well," Karma said.“他们住的地方都经过了安全检查，我们也一直在监测当地环境状况，确保留守人员的安全。”噶玛说。Butri and her brother, Migmar, were both excited to start the new semester.布赤和哥哥米玛都为新学期的到来激动不已。"I really like the free meals provided here, especially the white rice," Migmar said. "But I am also looking forward to visiting the school because I've never been there."“我特别喜欢这里提供的免费饭菜，尤其是白米饭。”米玛说，“不过我还期待去学校看看，因为我以前从来没有去过那里。”Butri said she was keen to meet her new classmates and kick shuttlecock with them.布赤则盼着早点见到新同学，和他们一起踢毽子。While life continues, traces of the disaster remain visible.生活仍在继续，但灾难留下的痕迹并未消失。The thumping of helicopters flying overhead can be heard constantly at the hotel. Residents have also put their favorite pastime of dancing and singing on hold out of respect for those who lost their lives in the mudslide.在酒店里，直升机从头顶飞过的轰鸣声不时传来。为了表达对泥石流遇难者的哀悼，村民们也暂时停止了平日里最喜欢的唱歌和跳舞。Sangmo, mother of the siblings, occasionally scrolled through video clips of the mudslide sweeping down the area. She did not see the waves of mud and ice herself, but she remembers hearing a deafening sound at the time.兄妹俩的母亲桑姆偶尔会翻看手机里泥石流席卷当地的视频。灾害发生时，她并没有亲眼看到泥浆和冰块奔涌而下的场景，但她至今记得当时那震耳欲聋的巨响。"It was horrifying," she said. "Our life here is nice, but I also miss my home."“太可怕了。”她说，“我们在这里生活得很好，但我还是想家。”重点词汇提炼mudslide / ˈmʌdslaɪd/ n.泥石流；山体滑坡hardest-hit / ˌhɑːdɪst ˈhɪt/ adj.受灾最严重的secondary disaster / ˈsekəndri dɪˈzɑːstə(r)/ n.次生灾害address one's needs / əˈdres wʌnz niːdz/ v.满足……的需求；帮助解决……的实际需要poultry / ˈpəʊltri/ n.家禽kick shuttlecock / kɪk ˈʃʌtlkɒk/ v.踢毽子deafening / ˈdefənɪŋ/ adj. 震耳欲聋的声音

Chinese memory-chip maker ChangXin Memory Technologies is moving closer to a vanguard position amid the global DRAM race with one of the earliest commercial deployments of LPDDR6 in a flagship smartphone, industry experts said on Monday.业内专家周一表示，在全球DRAM（动态随机存取存储器）竞争中，中国存储芯片企业长鑫存储正加速向行业前沿迈进。其LPDDR6产品将率先实现商业化应用，搭载于一款旗舰智能手机。They made the comments as CXMT said on Saturday that it had begun mass production of its self-developed LPDDR6 DRAM, which will debut in Xiaomi's upcoming 18 Fold handset.长鑫存储周六宣布，其自主研发的LPDDR6 DRAM已实现量产，并将在小米即将推出的18 Fold手机上首发搭载。The chip has a peak data-transfer rate of 12,800 megabits per second and capacity of up to 16 gigabytes.这款芯片的峰值数据传输速率可达每秒12800兆比特，最高容量达16GB。"For a Chinese company that only began mass-producing its first DRAM products in 2019, the bigger significance is not simply being first with one product," said Wang Peng, a researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences.北京社会科学院研究员王鹏表示：“对于一家直到2019年才开始量产首批DRAM产品的中国企业而言，更大的意义并不只是某一款产品实现率先突破。”"It put CXMT into the first wave of competition around the latest mobile-memory standard alongside global heavyweights Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and Micron Technology," Wang said.“这意味着长鑫存储已经跻身最新一代移动存储标准的第一梯队，与三星电子、SK海力士和美光科技等全球行业巨头同场竞技。”王鹏说。LPDDR6 is designed to raise memory bandwidth and parallelism while cutting power consumption, with these features becoming increasingly important as artificial intelligence models migrate from cloud data centers into phones, PCs, cars and other modalities.LPDDR6旨在提高内存带宽和并行处理能力，同时降低功耗。随着人工智能模型逐步从云端数据中心向手机、个人电脑、汽车等各类终端迁移，这些性能正变得愈发重要。The Xiaomi partnership adds another dimension. It puts a Chinese-designed mobile processor and the country's newest-generation DRAM together inside a premium smartphone.与小米的合作则为这一进展增添了另一层意义：在一款高端智能手机中，中国自主设计的移动处理器将与国产最新一代DRAM实现协同应用。Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun said the company's Xring O3 would support CXMT's LPDDR6, and he expects deeper collaboration among Chinese tech companies.小米创始人兼首席执行官雷军表示，小米玄戒O3芯片将支持长鑫存储LPDDR6，并期待中国科技企业之间开展更加深入的合作。Advanced chips require years of engineering but also large-scale customer validation to improve yields, reliability and costs.先进芯片的研发不仅需要多年技术攻关，还需要通过大规模客户应用进行验证，以不断提高良率、可靠性并降低成本。China's huge base of smartphone, computer, electric vehicle and internet companies can give local chipmakers something laboratory breakthroughs alone cannot provide — millions of devices on which new technology can be tested and refined, industry experts said.业内专家表示，中国拥有庞大的智能手机、计算机、电动汽车和互联网产业，这可以为本土芯片企业提供单纯依靠实验室技术突破所无法获得的条件——让新技术在数以百万计的终端设备上接受检验，并在实际应用中持续迭代完善。Liu Zhiying, a professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, said, "An important factor in the growth of Chinese high-tech companies is their ability to connect research, commercialization and market applications, allowing leading companies to pull suppliers across the industrial chain forward."中国科学技术大学教授刘志迎表示：“中国高科技企业成长的一个重要因素，在于能够打通科研、商业化和市场应用各环节，让龙头企业发挥牵引作用，带动整个产业链上的供应商共同向前发展。”CXMT's technological progress is arriving alongside a dramatic expansion in its financial firepower. On Monday, shares of CXMT closed at 58.01 yuan ($8.6), down 1.01 percent on the day, valuing the company at about 3.94 trillion yuan and making it one of China's most valuable listed companies.长鑫存储在技术上取得进展的同时，资本实力也在迅速增强。周一，长鑫存储股价收于58.01元（约合8.6美元），当日下跌1.01%，公司市值约达3.94万亿元，跻身中国市值最高的上市公司之列。The company recently reported first-half revenue of 150.31 billion yuan, up about 874 percent from a year earlier, while net profit attributable to shareholders reached 77.61 billion yuan, reversing a 2.33 billion yuan loss a year earlier.公司近期公布的数据显示，上半年实现营业收入1503.1亿元，同比增长约874%；归属于股东的净利润达到776.1亿元，而去年同期则亏损23.3亿元，实现扭亏为盈。The surge was driven by sharply higher memory prices and rising sales as demand for computing power tightened global DRAM supplies, the company said.长鑫存储表示，这一大幅增长主要得益于存储芯片价格显著上涨以及销量增加。随着算力需求不断攀升，全球DRAM供应趋紧，进一步推高了市场需求。CXMT has grown into the world's fourth-largest DRAM producer, behind Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and Micron, turning China from a marginal player in memory chips into an increasingly consequential competitor.目前，长鑫存储已成长为全球第四大DRAM生产商，仅次于三星电子、SK海力士和美光。这也推动中国从全球存储芯片市场中相对边缘的参与者，逐渐成长为一支影响力日益增强的竞争力量。Last week, CXMT sued the US Department of Defense in federal court in Washington, seeking removal from a Pentagon list of companies alleged to have ties to China's military.与此同时，长鑫存储上周在华盛顿联邦法院起诉美国国防部，要求将其从五角大楼一份所谓“与中国军方存在关联”的企业名单中移除。CXMT said its chips are designed primarily for civilian and commercial use and that it has no affiliation with the Chinese military.长鑫存储表示，其芯片主要面向民用和商业用途，公司与中国军方不存在关联。It said the designation was unsupported by facts and had damaged its reputation and business interests since it was first placed on the Pentagon's blacklist in January 2025.该公司称，美方这一认定缺乏事实依据。自2025年1月被列入五角大楼黑名单以来，这一做法已经损害了公司的声誉和商业利益。The lawsuit follows similar legal challenges by Chinese companies including Xiaomi and WuXi AppTec. Xiaomi successfully challenged an earlier Pentagon military designation in 2021.在长鑫存储之前，包括小米和药明康德在内的多家中国企业也曾针对美方类似认定发起法律挑战。其中，小米曾于2021年成功挑战五角大楼此前对其作出的所谓“涉军”认定。Zhang Sinan, an independent commentator who has been following the situation, said, "The US can keep extending the list, but the world will not stop needing cheaper clean energy, more efficient electric vehicles, more advanced drug development services or more flexible robotic applications simply because of a list."长期关注此事的独立评论人士张思南表示：“美国可以不断延长这份名单，但世界不会因为一份名单，就不再需要成本更低的清洁能源、更高效的电动汽车、更先进的药物研发服务，或更加灵活的机器人应用。”重点词汇提炼debut / ˈdeɪbjuː/ v./n.首次亮相；首发vanguard position / ˈvænɡɑːd pəˈzɪʃn/ n.前沿位置；领先地位global heavyweight / ˈɡləʊbl ˈheviweɪt/ n.全球行业巨头；重量级企业parallelism / ˈpærəlelɪzəm/ n.并行性；并行处理能力commercialization / kəˌmɜːʃəlaɪˈzeɪʃn/ n.商业化listed company / ˈlɪstɪd ˈkʌmpəni/ n.上市公司blacklist / ˈblæklɪst/ n./v.黑名单；列入黑名单

As China's autumn semester begins, cities with large university populations are rolling out incentives and services for new students, ranging from shopping offers and cultural experiences to public services and career support.随着中国秋季学期开启，高校数量众多的城市纷纷为新生推出各类激励举措与服务，涵盖购物优惠、文化体验、公共服务以及就业扶持等多个方面。The measures point to a broader shift in the back‑to‑school season. While student spending remains important, some cities are extending welcome programs to build longer‑term ties with young people who could later join the local workforce.这些举措反映出开学季正在发生更为宏观的转变。尽管学生消费依旧重要，部分城市正在拓展迎新项目，与日后有望成为本地劳动力的青年群体建立长期联系。Eight cities now have more than 1 million higher‑education students each, according to financial media outlet Yicai.财经媒体第一财经的数据显示，目前已有八座城市的高等教育在校学生人数均突破 100 万。Guangzhou has the largest student population, with about 1.78 million students enrolled in undergraduate, vocational, and postgraduate programs. Zhengzhou and Wuhan follow with about 1.53 million and 1.44 million, respectively.广州的学生规模位居首位，本科、职业教育及研究生在读学生约 178 万人；紧随其后的是郑州与武汉，学生数量分别约为 153 万和 144 万。Chengdu, Chongqing, Beijing, Xi'an, and Nanjing have also passed the one‑million mark, the report said.报道称，成都、重庆、北京、西安、南京的高校在校生数量同样突破百万大关。These large student populations form a significant consumer base for dining, electronics, tourism, and entertainment, prompting cities to tailor welcome programs to local strengths.庞大的学生群体构成餐饮、电子、旅游、文娱领域重要的消费基础，促使各地结合自身本地优势定制迎新方案。In Chengdu, new students can apply for a city experience card offering benefits across dining, accommodation, transport, tourism, shopping, and entertainment. Twenty‑seven tourist attractions and cultural venues are offering free admission to new students, while two accompanying family members can receive half‑price tickets.在成都，新生可申领城市体验卡，享受餐饮、住宿、交通、旅游、购物、文娱方面的福利。27 处旅游景区与文化场馆对新生免门票，两名随行家属可享受半价票。Wuhan, which has one of the highest concentrations of universities in China, launched its university welcome season on Saturday, with activities spanning shopping, dining, culture, and entertainment. The program also highlights employment and entrepreneurship opportunities and provides easier access to local government services.国内高校集聚度最高的城市之一武汉于周六开启高校迎新季，活动覆盖购物、餐饮、文化、文娱领域。该项目同时重点推介就业创业机遇，简化办理本地政务服务的渠道。For some cities, the longer‑term focus extends to retaining young people after graduation. According to Hubei's local newspaper Changjiang Daily, more than 27 percent of graduates from universities in Wuhan had stayed in the city for work over the past five years. In 2025, Wuhan attracted 314,000 university graduates who stayed in or moved to the city for work or entrepreneurship, the report said.对部分城市而言，长期目标还包括留住毕业青年。湖北地方媒体《长江日报》消息显示，过去五年，武汉高校超 27% 的毕业生留汉就业。报道称，2025 年，武汉吸引 31.4 万名高校毕业生留汉或来汉就业创业。incentive /ɪnˈsentɪv/n. 激励；奖励tailor /ˈteɪlə(r)/v. 定制；量身打造retain /rɪˈteɪn/v. 留住；保持entrepreneurship /ˌɒntrəprəˈnɜːʃɪp/n. 创业精神；创业

At around 11:30 am local time on Monday in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, President Xi Jinping and Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov put their signatures to a treaty on permanent good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation, after which they exchanged copies of the treaty, shook hands and posed for photographs.The two presidents also signed a joint declaration on the high-quality development of the China-Kyrgyzstan comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era, and witnessed the exchange of bilateral cooperation documents covering investment, transportation, customs and sister-city relations.During Xi's visit, which began on Sunday, the two sides signed more than 20 additional cooperation documents in areas including science and technology, education, culture, people-to-people exchanges and the media.While holding bilateral talks with Japarov, Xi said that high-level political mutual trust and firm mutual support are important guarantees for the steady and long-term development of China-Kyrgyzstan relations. China firmly supports Kyrgyzstan in safeguarding its national sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity, and supports the country in pursuing a development path suited to its national conditions, Xi said.He added that China stands ready to continue firmly supporting Kyrgyzstan on issues concerning each other's core interests.Japarov said he was honored to welcome Xi to Kyrgyzstan on the 35th anniversary of the country's independence, which fell on Monday. The visit further demonstrated the profound friendship and high level of political mutual trust between the two countries and marked an important milestone in bilateral relations, he said.Xi said the signing of the treaty on permanent good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation will provide an important legal foundation for friendship between the two countries from generation to generation and for their continued mutual support.China is advancing the building of a strong country and national rejuvenation on all fronts through Chinese modernization, while Kyrgyzstan is making every effort to implement its National Development Program through 2030, Xi said.China is ready to work with Kyrgyzstan to better align their development strategies, deepen exchanges of experience in governance and deliver more tangible outcomes through practical cooperation, he said, calling for taking profound and concrete measures in building a China-Kyrgyzstan community with a shared future.Xi called for the two sides to deepen practical cooperation by implementing their intergovernmental economic and trade cooperation plan, diversifying traded goods and fostering new growth drivers such as digital trade and cross-border e-commerce.He called for the high-quality construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, describing it as a "major transportation artery" carrying the development aspirations of people across the region.The two sides should also modernize border crossings and strengthen "soft connectivity" in institutions, standards and rules, he said.Xi urged more landmark projects in renewable energy and resource recycling, as well as efforts to implement cooperation documents on green minerals and expand collaboration across entire industrial chains.He also called for facilitating personnel exchanges and expanding cooperation among young people, as well as media, tourism, sports, healthcare and subnational exchanges, to further consolidate public support for China-Kyrgyzstan friendship.The two sides should expand law enforcement and security cooperation, jointly combat the "three forces" of terrorism, separatism and extremism, as well as drug trafficking and transnational crime, and work together to safeguard regional peace and stability, Xi said.China supports Kyrgyzstan in playing a greater role in international and regional affairs and is willing to strengthen coordination with the country within the United Nations framework, he said.Xi called on the two countries to jointly implement the four global initiatives, oppose hegemonism and power politics, uphold true multilateralism, safeguard international fairness and justice, and promote a more just and equitable global governance system.As founding members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, China and Kyrgyzstan should advance the implementation of the outcomes of last year's Tianjin summit, promote common development in the region and take the SCO's development to a new level, said Xi, who is also in Bishkek for this year's SCO summit.Japarov said the signing of the treaty on permanent good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation will open up broader prospects for bilateral relations."The People's Republic of China is an important priority in Kyrgyzstan's foreign policy, and our main trade and investment partner. China is our good neighbor, close friend and time-tested, reliable partner," Japarov told Xi.Japarov also said that Kyrgyzstan is willing to expand cooperation with China in trade and investment, connectivity, scientific and technological innovation, energy, minerals and the green economy, while strengthening exchanges in education, healthcare, culture and youth affairs.Kyrgyzstan is ready to work with China to combat the "three forces" and safeguard regional security, he said.Japarov also expressed his country's willingness to strengthen coordination with China through multilateral platforms, including the UN, the SCO, the China-Central Asia mechanism and the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization.During the talks, Japarov, on behalf of the Kyrgyz government and people, extended his deep sympathies over the mudslide disaster in Gyirong county of China's Xizang autonomous region.Xi thanked him and said the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government are making every effort to search for missing Chinese and foreign nationals, relocate affected residents, treat the injured and guard against secondary disasters. China has also sent rescuers to Nepal and provided emergency assistance, he said.Earlier on Monday morning, Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, arrived by car at Yntymak Ordo, the Kyrgyz presidential administration building, under the escort of a Kyrgyz cavalry guard.

In an attempt to tighten the noose on Iran's economic lifeline, the United States administration launched "Operation Economic Outcast: Total Isolation of the Iranian Regime", seeking to sever the country's financial connections around the world. Yet one of the grave consequences of this aggressive restrictive measure is the collateral damage it inflicts on the global economy.为进一步扼住伊朗的经济命脉，美国政府启动了所谓的“经济弃民活动：全面孤立伊朗政权”，企图切断伊朗和全球景荣体系的联系。然而，这种咄咄逼人的限制措施所造成的一个严重后果之一，就是殃及全球经济。By weaponizing the US financial prowess and targeting any entity that allegedly does business with "blacklisted" Iranian companies, the US seems ready to turn a regional conflict it started, along with Israel, into a global economic disruption and a potentially existential threat to the very "rules-based" order it claims to uphold.通过将自身的金融实力武器化，美国对任何被指与遭其列入“黑名单”的伊朗企业开展业务的实体实施打压。如此看来，美国似乎准备将其与以色列共同挑起的一场地区冲突，演变成一场全球性经济动荡，甚至对其口口声声维护的所谓“基于规则的秩序”构成生存性威胁。Kameng Trading Ltd, a Hong Kong-registered company, has become the latest Chinese victim of the US administration's escalating enforcement drive, after the US Treasury Department announced on Friday it would sanction the company over alleged "money-laundering" ties to an Iranian institution — claims that, as ever with such US allegations, have not been substantiated. The move comes only days after the US imposed a fresh round of Iran-related sanctions against multiple Chinese entities. The US administration has also hinted at possible sanctions against major Chinese financial institutions over their alleged "links" to Iran.美国财政部日前宣布，将以涉嫌与一家伊朗机构存在“洗钱”联系为由，对香港注册企业楷萌贸易有限公司（Kameng Trading Ltd）实施制裁，使其成为美国政府不断升级制裁执法行动的最新中国受害者。与美国以往类似指控一样，相关说法并未得到事实证实。就在几天前，美国刚刚以涉伊朗为由对多家中国实体实施新一轮制裁。美国政府还暗示，可能因所谓与伊朗存在“联系”，对中国主要金融机构实施制裁。The reckless moves by the US constitute a flagrant abuse of extraterritorial jurisdiction, and are in blatant violation of international law and the basic norms governing international relations. These measures not only threaten to disrupt global energy markets and exacerbate inflation, but also hurt countries that are not party to the US-Iran conflict. The punishment the US metes out against third parties is about the US leveraging its control over the global financial system to force other countries into doing what it wants.美方这些肆意妄为的举动，是对域外管辖权的公然滥用，严重违反国际法和国际关系基本准则。这些措施不仅可能扰乱全球能源市场、加剧通胀，还将损害那些并非美伊冲突当事方国家的利益。美国之所以惩罚第三方，本质上就是利用其对全球金融体系的影响力，迫使其他国家按照美国的意愿行事。The Chinese government has expressed firm opposition to these unilateral and unlawful sanctions, and has made it clear that it will take all necessary measures to resolutely protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese entities.中国政府已明确表示坚决反对这种单边、非法制裁，并强调将采取一切必要措施，坚定维护中国实体的合法权益。Over six months after the US and Israel launched "Epic Fury" against Iran, the promised "quick victory" has failed to arrive. Not a single preset goal — regime change or the dismantling of Iran's nuclear and missile programs, has been met. The White House's prediction that the war would last only "four to six weeks" now stands as proof of strategic miscalculation, shattered by a protracted stalemate that has exposed the limits of the US' military reach. Faced with this impasse and confronted with mounting domestic discontent, the US administration has reverted to its old standby of maximum economic pressure. Yet this coercive approach will likely meet the same dead end as the military campaign that preceded it.美国和以色列对伊朗发动所谓“史诗之怒”行动已经过去半年多，曾经承诺的“速胜”却迟迟没有到来。无论是推动伊朗政权更迭，还是摧毁其核计划和导弹项目，此前设定的目标无一实现。白宫曾预测战争只会持续“四至六周”，如今这一判断已成为战略误判的明证。旷日持久的僵局不仅击碎了这一预期，也暴露出美国军事力量的局限。面对战场僵局和国内日益高涨的不满情绪，美国政府再次祭出其惯用手段，即“极限经济施压”。然而，这种胁迫手段很可能同此前的军事行动一样，最终走进死胡同。Iran has already endured US sanctions for decades, and not been brought to its knees under external pressure. If anything, each new round of restrictions only reinforces its "defiance". Washington's calculus — that squeezing the Iranian people with sanctions will spark a popular uprising — comes at a high cost. The immediate result will be deeper suffering for the Iranian people, and along with that, more resentment toward the US.数十年来，伊朗一直承受着美国制裁，却并未在外部压力下屈服。恰恰相反，一轮又一轮新的限制措施，只会进一步强化其抗争意志。华盛顿的算盘是，通过制裁不断挤压伊朗民众的生存空间，进而激起民众反抗，但这一做法代价高昂。最直接的后果，将是伊朗民众承受更深重的苦难，同时进一步加剧其对美国的不满和怨愤。To coerce other countries into unquestioningly following the US' lead, the US administration is threatening to cut off disobeying nations from the dollar system, a move that will only accelerate the global push for de-dollarization.为了迫使其他国家不加质疑地追随美国，美国政府甚至威胁将不听从其号令的国家排除在美元体系之外。然而，这种做法只会加快全球“去美元化”的步伐。History shows that the more the US imposes unilateral sanctions, the more likely it is to incentivize the rest of the world to build work-arounds, such as creating alternative payment systems, developing parallel financial infrastructure, or conducting trade in currencies other than the dollar. The US is therefore hastening the de-dollarization of the global economy with its economic attack on Iran, undermining the very foundation of its own financial hegemony.历史已经表明，美国越是频繁实施单边制裁，就越会促使世界其他国家寻找规避美元体系制约的替代方案，包括建立替代性支付系统、发展平行金融基础设施，以及更多使用美元以外的货币进行贸易结算。因此，美国对伊朗发动的这场经济攻势，实际上正在加速全球经济“去美元化”，进而动摇其自身金融霸权赖以存在的根基。The US cannot bomb or sanction Iran to shape it to its liking. A true resolution to the hostilities demands a strategic pivot from coercion to diplomacy. Dialogue, not isolation, offers the only viable path to resolve the conflict.美国既无法通过轰炸，也无法依靠制裁，把伊朗塑造成自己想要的样子。真正解决当前敌对局势，需要的是战略转向，即从胁迫转向外交。能够化解冲突的可行道路，是对话，而不是孤立。Military options breed endless cycles of retaliation; and sanctions punish civilians and harm the world economy. Negotiation is the harder choice, yet it is the means to deliver peace and avert another cycle of conflict.军事手段只会催生无休止的报复循环；经济制裁则会惩罚普通民众，并殃及世界经济。谈判或许是更加艰难的选择，却是实现和平、避免冲突再次陷入恶性循环的必由之路。unilateral economic coercion /ˌjuːnɪˈlætrəl ˌiːkəˈnɒmɪk kəʊˈɜːʃn/ n.单边经济胁迫tighten the noose /ˌtaɪtn ðə ˈnuːs/ v.收紧绞索；进一步施压economic lifeline /ˌiːkəˈnɒmɪk ˈlaɪflaɪn/ n.经济命脉collateral damage /kəˌlætərəl ˈdæmɪdʒ/ n.附带损害；连带损失weaponize /ˈwepənaɪz/ v.将……武器化；把……用作施压工具financial prowess /faɪˈnænʃl ˈpraʊəs/ n.金融实力；金融优势

Rescuers had reopened the main access route to within 1.2 kilometers of the border gate at Gyirong Port in Shigatse, Xizang autonomous region, by early Monday, as authorities prepared to intensify a new round of searches in the core disaster area, according to the frontline rescue headquarters.据前线救援指挥部消息，截至周一清晨，救援人员已打通至西藏日喀则吉隆口岸边境大门 1.2 公里处的主要通道，有关部门准备在核心受灾区域开展新一轮加大力度的搜寻工作。A massive mudslide originating on the Nepalese side of the China‑Nepal border struck Gyirong Port on Wednesday morning, causing major casualties and leaving people missing. The disaster severely damaged National Highway G216, the main road leading to the port, and cut electricity and communications.上周三上午，中尼边境尼泊尔一侧发生大型泥石流，冲击吉隆口岸，造成重大人员伤亡，还有人员失联。此次灾害严重损毁通往该口岸的主要道路 G216 国道，并造成电力、通信中断。The rescue headquarters said at a news conference on Sunday that rescuers were pushing southward along G216 from the northern side of Gyirong Port to reopen the route while searching for survivors and missing people along the route.救援指挥部在昨天的新闻发布会上表示，救援人员从吉隆口岸北侧沿 G216 国道向南推进抢通道路，同时沿路搜寻幸存者与失联人员。On Monday, China Anneng Group deployed 150 emergency rescue personnel and 29 sets of various mechanical equipment to the operation. As of 8 am Monday, crews had advanced another 508 meters.周一，中国安能集团投入 150 名应急救援人员以及 29 台套各类机械设备参与抢险作业。截至周一上午 8 时，作业队伍又向前推进 508 米。The road remains a key access point for rescuers attempting to reach the hardest‑hit area of Gyirong Port.这条道路仍是救援人员赶赴吉隆口岸重灾区的关键通行通道。Progress has also been made in restoring communications. The first emergency base station close to the border gate at Gyirong Port began operating at 1:30 pm Sunday, extending communication coverage toward the core rescue area.通信恢复工作同样取得进展。昨天下午 1 时 30 分，吉隆口岸边境大门附近的首座应急基站投入使用，通信覆盖范围向救援核心区域延伸。deploy /dɪˈplɔɪ/v. 部署，投入intensify /ɪnˈtensɪfaɪ/v. 加剧，加大力度survivor /səˈvaɪvə(r)/n. 幸存者restore /rɪˈstɔː(r)/v. 恢复，修复今天 17:25

Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged Washington to remove disruptions and overcome obstacles to high-level exchanges between China and the United States, saying that both countries should earnestly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state.中国外交部长王毅敦促美方排除干扰、克服障碍，推动中美高层交往，并表示中美双方应切实落实两国元首达成的重要共识。Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks on Wednesday during a meeting in Beijing with David Perdue, the US ambassador to China, according to a statement released by the Foreign Ministry on Thursday.据中国外交部8月27日发布的消息，中共中央政治局委员、外交部长王毅8月26日在北京会见美国驻华大使戴维·珀杜时作出上述表态。Under the guidance of the two heads of state, China and the US are working to build a constructive relationship of strategic stability, Wang said.王毅表示，在两国元首的引领下，中美双方正共同努力构建具有战略稳定性的建设性关系。He said facts show that improving bilateral relations, coexisting peacefully on the basis of mutual respect and achieving win-win cooperation serve the fundamental interests of the two peoples and meet the common expectations of the international community.他表示，事实证明，改善两国关系，在相互尊重基础上和平共处、实现互利共赢，符合两国人民的根本利益，也顺应国际社会的共同期待。Noting that the China-US relationship still faces various risks and challenges, Wang emphasized the need for both sides to focus on a constructive agenda and properly manage differences to promote stable, healthy and sustainable development of bilateral ties.王毅指出，当前中美关系仍面临各种风险挑战，双方应聚焦建设性议程，妥善管控分歧，推动两国关系稳定、健康、可持续发展。Perdue said the two heads of state have provided important strategic guidance for advancing bilateral ties, noting that US President Donald Trump's visit to China in May was a success.珀杜表示，两国元首为推进双边关系发展提供了重要战略指引，并指出美国总统唐纳德·特朗普今年5月的访华之行取得成功。The US is willing to strengthen communication with China, advance cooperation, make preparations for the next stage of important high-level interactions, and build a constructive relationship of strategic stability on the basis of respect and reciprocity, the ambassador added.这位大使补充说，美方愿同中方加强沟通，推进合作，为下一阶段重要高层互动做好准备，并在相互尊重、对等相待的基础上构建具有战略稳定性的建设性关系。On behalf of the US, Perdue expressed condolences over the casualties caused by a deadly mudslide that struck the Gyirong land port along the China-Nepal border in Southwest China's Xizang autonomous region.珀杜代表美方，就中国西南部西藏自治区中尼边境吉隆口岸发生的泥石流灾害造成的人员伤亡表示慰问。Later, Perdue said in a post on social media that he had productive meetings with Chinese Foreign Ministry officials.随后，珀杜在社交媒体上发文表示，他与中国外交部官员进行了富有成效的会谈。During his trip to China in May, Trump invited President Xi Jinping to visit the US in the autumn.特朗普今年5月访华期间，曾邀请中国国家主席习近平于今年秋季访问美国。At a regular news conference on Thursday in Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said that China and the US are maintaining communication on the arrangement of interactions between the two heads of state within the year.在周四于北京举行的例行记者会上，中国外交部发言人林剑表示，中美双方正就年内两国元首互动的安排保持沟通。Wang's meeting with Perdue came as the US is reportedly planning to impose a 7.5 percent tariff on Chinese goods on the pretext of excess manufacturing capacity.王毅与珀杜会面之际，据报道美方正计划以所谓"产能过剩"为由，对中国输美商品加征7.5%的关税。Huang Ling, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Commerce, said on Thursday that the US, citing "overcapacity", has initiated an investigation against 16 economies, including China, under Section 301 of its Trade Act of 1974, which politicizes economic and trade issues.商务部新闻发言人黄玲周四表示，美方以所谓"产能过剩"为由，依据其1974年《贸易法》第301条款，对包括中国在内的16个经济体发起调查，这一做法使经贸问题政治化。The US-China Business Council released its annual member survey report in June, indicating that 95 percent of respondents considered China to be "somewhat" to "very important" for maintaining global competitiveness.美中贸易全国委员会今年6月发布年度会员调查报告显示，95%的受访企业认为，中国市场对于维持其全球竞争力"较为重要"乃至"非常重要"。The survey also found that US tariffs continue to increase costs for its own citizens, while the country's export controls unnecessarily undermine US businesses.调查还发现，美国关税持续推高本国民众的生活成本，而美方出口管制措施则在不必要地损害美国企业的利益。Around half of the affected US companies are losing sales to Chinese or international competitors, leading to lost market share in many cases, the report said, adding that the curbs failed to achieve their purported goal of denying China access to key technologies.报告显示，约半数受影响的美国企业正因中国或其他国际竞争对手而流失销售份额，导致其在许多情况下市场份额下滑；报告还指出，这些限制措施并未达到所谓阻止中国获取关键技术的预期目标。Craig Allen, former president of the US-China Business Council and a nonresident senior fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis, said Chinese investors in the US play a very important role in local economic stability.美中贸易全国委员会前会长、亚洲协会政策研究院中国分析中心非常驻高级研究员克雷格·艾伦表示，在美中国投资者对当地经济稳定发挥着十分重要的作用。"In my view, the largest growth areas are probably in the services industries, also probably any industry touched by AI (artificial intelligence). But I think that there's room for growth across the board," Allen said in a recent interview with Chinese media.艾伦在近期接受中国媒体采访时表示："在我看来，增长潜力最大的领域可能是服务业，此外，任何受到人工智能影响的行业也可能存在很大增长空间。不过我认为，各个领域都还有增长的余地。""We want to see more enthusiastic trade and investment going both ways across the Pacific Ocean.""我们希望看到更加活跃的贸易与投资在太平洋两岸双向流动。"hurdle /ˈhɜːrdl/ n.障碍，难关disruption /dɪsˈrʌpʃən/ n.干扰，扰乱high-level exchange /haɪ ˈlevəl ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒ/ n.高层交往consensus /kənˈsensəs/ n.共识strategic stability /strəˈtiːdʒɪk stəˈbɪləti/ n.战略稳定性condolence /kənˈdoʊləns/ n.慰问，哀悼productive meeting /prəˈdʌktɪv ˈmiːtɪŋ/ n.富有成效的会谈regular news conference /ˈreɡjələr nuːz ˈkɒnfərəns/ n.例行记者会tariff /ˈtærɪf/ n.关税excess manufacturing capacity /ɪkˈses ˌmænjuˈfæktʃərɪŋ kəˈpæsəti/ n.过剩制造产能overcapacity /ˌoʊvərkəˈpæsəti/ n.产能过剩politicize /pəˈlɪtɪsaɪz/ v.使政治化

The China-Kyrgyzstan cooperation has ushered in a "golden period" of rapid development, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Sunday as he landed here for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit 2026 and a state visit to Kyrgyzstan.Upon the arrival, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov and his wife welcomed Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, at the Manas International Airport.In a written speech, Xi extended sincere greetings and best wishes to Japarov and the people of Kyrgyzstan on behalf of the Chinese government and people.Noting that China and Kyrgyzstan share a time-honored traditional friendship, Xi said that the majestic Tianshan Mountains stands as witnesses to the millennia of friendly exchanges between their peoples.Over the 34 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the China-Kyrgyzstan relationship has withstood the test of a changing international landscape, maintained sound and stable development throughout, and reached the high level of a comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era.In recent years, bilateral trade volume and people-to-people exchanges have reached new highs, Xi said, noting that major projects including the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway have been successfully implemented, and the tangible results of mutually beneficial cooperation have broadly benefited the two peoples.Xi said that during the visit he will have in-depth exchanges of views with Japarov on China-Kyrgyzstan relations, cooperation in various fields between the two countries, and international and regional issues of common concern, and draw a new blueprint for building a China-Kyrgyzstan community with a shared future."I look forward to attending the SCO Bishkek Summit, working with all parties to revisit the 25-year development experience of the SCO, jointly discuss cooperation plans, create the future of the organization, and promote the continuous new development of the organization," Xi said.

This episode begins with a quiet shift on social media—young people practicing baduanjin in parks, drinking goji berry tea, and soaking their feet before bed. These seemingly scattered habits are part of a global phenomenon: Chinamaxxing. We trace its three phases of evolution: Phase 1—aesthetic attraction: the visual romance of gaiwan tea sets, embroidery, silk, and the striking contrast of skyscrapers alongside ancient pavilions; Phase 2—lifestyle imitation: the viral“From tomorrow, you‘re going to become Chinese”videos, people brewing goji tea, practicing baduanjin, and asking in comment sections,“What else do I need to know as a‘new Chinese person'?”; Phase 3—immersive experience: over 22.9 million foreign visitors entering China, not just sightseeing but getting custom qipaos made in Shanghai, riding driverless taxis in Shenzhen, finding tailors in Chengdu‘s vegetable markets, and planting rice in rural Guilin. We explore the driving forces behind it all—a search for stability in an uncertain world, the power of tangible daily life, and the resonance of“living authenticity.”Chinamaxxing is not a fleeting internet trend; it's the story of a generation moving from passive observers to active participants. The most powerful stories are the ones we live ourselves.

Despite the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran expiring last week, the window for further negotiations between Washington and Tehran toward a final deal "is not closed", Pakistan's envoy to the United Nations said.尽管美国和伊朗之间的谅解备忘录已于上周到期，但巴基斯坦驻联合国大使表示，华盛顿与德黑兰之间为进一步达成最终协议而进行谈判的窗口“并未关闭”。Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, Pakistan's permanent representative to the UN, said that Pakistan is "still very committed" to facilitating dialogue between the two sides.巴基斯坦常驻联合国代表阿西姆·伊夫蒂哈尔·艾哈迈德表示，巴基斯坦“仍然非常致力于”促进双方对话。"Our leadership is in touch with both sides. We are also working closely. We continue to work closely with the other friends," Ahmad told China Daily in an exclusive interview.艾哈迈德在接受《中国日报》独家专访时表示：“我们的领导层与双方保持接触。我们也在密切合作，并继续与其他友好国家密切协作。”He said the expired Islamabad MoU still provides a framework for the US and Iran "to engage and to hold further negotiations" toward "a conclusive and comprehensive settlement, or a final deal".他表示，已到期的伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录仍为美伊双方“接触并举行进一步谈判”提供了框架，以达成“最终和全面的解决方案，即最终协议”。However, Ahmad said it remains unclear on how the conflict will eventually end and what impact it could have on the region.不过，艾哈迈德表示，目前尚不清楚这场冲突将如何结束，以及可能对该地区产生何种影响。"I think the overall situation is still in flux," he said. He noted that countries in the region are assessing "how this will evolve in the future and what kind of steps they need to take" to ensure long-term peace and stability, amid discussions over possible changes to regional security arrangements and political alignments.“我认为总体局势仍在变化之中，”他说。他指出，该地区国家正在评估“这将如何演变，以及他们需要采取何种措施”以确保长期和平与稳定，同时也在讨论地区安全安排和政治联盟可能发生的变化。On Tuesday, Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said that Pakistan and Iran made "significant progress" in talks seeking to end the US-Israeli operations against Iran and find a path to peace, according to a Reuters report.据路透社报道，巴基斯坦内政部长穆赫辛·纳克维周二表示，巴基斯坦与伊朗在寻求结束美以对伊军事行动并找到和平路径的会谈中取得了“重大进展”。Talks between the two sides focused on measures to prevent further escalation, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an expedited termination of the conflict, Reuters reported, citing a Pakistani military statement.路透社援引巴基斯坦军方声明报道称，双方会谈重点讨论了防止局势进一步升级、重新开放霍尔木兹海峡以及加速结束冲突的措施。Given the prolonged uncertainty resulting from the US-Iran conflict, regional security arrangements are already beginning to shift. Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and Pakistan signed the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement, under which an armed attack on one member is considered an attack on all three.鉴于美伊冲突带来的长期不确定性，地区安全安排已开始发生变化。本月初，沙特阿拉伯、土耳其和巴基斯坦签署了《麦加联合防御协议》，规定对任一成员国的武装攻击将被视为对三国的攻击。"Our objective is to ensure that we move forward in a way that will guarantee peace and stability for the longer term in the Middle East," Ahmad said.“我们的目标是确保我们以能够保障中东长期和平与稳定的方式向前推进，”艾哈迈德说。The diplomatic efforts surrounding the US-Iran crisis have also raised questions about the UN's role, as some of the most consequential negotiations over current international conflicts are increasingly taking place outside the UN and the Security Council.围绕美伊危机的外交努力也引发了对联合国作用的质疑，因为当前一些最重要的国际冲突谈判越来越多地在联合国和安理会框架之外进行。Ahmad said that such diplomacy does not necessarily diminish the UN's role.艾哈迈德表示，此类外交并不一定会削弱联合国的作用。"If you look back in history, there are several situations in which the UN was not the primary actor," he said, adding that negotiations conducted elsewhere have often eventually been brought back to the UN. "It doesn't mean that the UN's role is sidelined or undermined," he said.“回顾历史，有很多情况下联合国并非主要行动方，”他说，并补充道，在其他地方进行的谈判往往最终会被带回联合国。“这并不意味着联合国的作用被边缘化或削弱，”他说。He cited the Gaza conflict as a recent example. Negotiations took place outside the UN Security Council before being brought back to the body to give it "the stamp of authority and credibility".他以最近的加沙冲突为例。谈判在联合国安理会之外进行，然后被带回安理会，以赋予其“权威性和可信度的印记”。The UN Security Council in November voted and adopted a resolution endorsing US President Donald Trump's peace plan and establishing the Board of Peace as a transitional administration for Gaza.去年11月，联合国安理会投票通过了一项决议，支持美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的和平计划，并设立和平委员会作为加沙的过渡管理机构。According to Ahmad, the same principle would apply to a US-Iran agreement. Once a comprehensive and conclusive final deal is agreed, it would be brought to the UN Security Council for approval and for the establishment of a mechanism to oversee its implementation, he said.据艾哈迈德称，同样的原则也适用于美伊协议。他表示，一旦达成全面和最终的协议，将提交联合国安理会批准，并建立监督机制以确保协议执行。"The role of the Security Council as the principal organ for maintaining international peace and security remains important," he said.“安理会作为维护国际和平与安全的主要机构，其作用仍然重要，”他说。Long-running conflicts around the world also continue to test the UN's ability to prevent and resolve crises.世界各地的长期冲突也在持续考验联合国预防和解决危机的能力。Ahmad said that resolving these long-running conflicts requires "a comprehensive approach from conflict prevention to resolution", including UN peacekeeping.艾哈迈德表示，解决这些长期冲突需要“从预防冲突到解决冲突的全面方法”，包括联合国维和行动。There is a strong view among the wider UN membership that peace and security cannot be considered separately from development, he said.他表示，联合国广大会员国中有一种强烈观点认为，和平与安全不能与发展分开考虑。For developing countries, Ahmad added, the UN should focus on prioritizing the concerns and interests of those countries.艾哈迈德补充说，对发展中国家而言，联合国应优先关注这些国家的关切和利益。"As part of the reform and improving efficiencies, we want to ensure that the UN will continue to prioritize the concerns and the interests of developing countries," he said. "That means both peace and security, addressing the conflicts and advancing the development objectives."“作为改革和提高效率的一部分，我们希望确保联合国将继续优先考虑发展中国家的关切和利益，”他说。“这意味着和平与安全、解决冲突和推进发展目标。”conclusive /kənˈkluːsɪv/最终的comprehensive /ˌkɒmprɪˈhensɪv/全面的in flux /ɪn flʌks/在变化中alignment /əˈlaɪnmənt/联盟expedited /ˈekspədaɪtɪd/加速的prolonged /prəˈlɒŋd/长期的sidelined /ˈsaɪdlaɪnd/被边缘化的undermined /ˌʌndəˈmaɪnd/被削弱stamp of authority /stæmp əv ɔːˈθɒr

President Xi Jinping has ordered all-out rescue and relief efforts after a mudslide on Wednesday in Nepal caused heavy casualties and left many people missing at a border port in the Xizang autonomous region.8月26日，尼泊尔境内发生的一场泥石流造成重大人员伤亡，并致使西藏自治区一处边境口岸多人失踪，国家主席习近平作出重要指示，要求全力开展搜救救援工作。Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the instruction after the mudslide struck the Gyirong border port, a major land port linking China and Nepal, in Shigatse at around 10:30 am, according to Xinhua News Agency.据新华社报道，泥石流于当日上午10时30分许袭击了西藏日喀则市境内、连接中尼两国的重要陆路口岸——吉隆口岸，中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平就此作出上述指示。As of 8 pm on Wednesday, at least three people had been killed and 265 others remained missing, CCTV News quoted local authorities as saying.据央视新闻援引当地政府消息，截至8月26日晚8时，灾害已造成至少3人遇难，265人失联。The president stressed that the top priority now is to make every possible effort to search for and rescue missing people, evacuate residents at risk and provide timely medical treatment to the injured.习近平强调，当前首要任务是全力搜寻救援失联人员，转移安置受威胁群众，及时救治受伤人员。He also underlined efforts to strengthen monitoring and early warning, carry out rescue work in a scientific manner and prevent secondary disasters.他还强调，要加强监测预警，科学有序开展救援工作，严防发生次生灾害。Noting that the country is at a critical stage of flood control, Xi emphasized that all local authorities and relevant departments should prepare for worst-case scenarios and extreme situations, and earnestly implement measures for flood and typhoon prevention.习近平指出，当前正值我国防汛关键期，各地区各部门要立足最不利情况、做最坏打算，切实抓好各项防汛防台风措施落实。They must also step up efforts to identify and defuse potential risks and hazards, resolutely prevent serious and major disasters and accidents, and effectively protect people's lives and property, he said.他表示，要加大风险隐患排查整治力度，坚决防范遏制重特大灾害事故发生，切实保障人民群众生命财产安全。Premier Li Qiang has ordered prompt efforts to verify the number of people missing and affected, conduct all-out relief operations and evacuate people at risk.国务院总理李强作出批示，要求抓紧核实失联和受灾人员情况，全力开展救援救灾工作，转移安置受威胁群众。He urged the Foreign Ministry to strengthen communication and coordination with relevant countries to share information in a timely manner and work together to properly handle rescue and relief efforts.他要求外交部加强与有关国家的沟通协调，及时通报情况，共同做好救援救灾相关工作。Vice-Premier Zhang Guoqing has led a team to the site to guide rescue and response efforts.国务院副总理张国清已率工作组赶赴现场，指导救援处置工作。Video footage released by China Central Television showed muddy water gushing, carrying tree branches and debris, and some buildings were buried as the mudslide struck.中央电视台发布的视频画面显示，泥石流暴发时，浑浊的洪水裹挟着树枝和杂物汹涌而下，部分建筑物被掩埋。Meanwhile, the disaster has cut off roads, communication networks and power supplies at the border port area on the Chinese side, Xinhua reported.新华社报道称，此次灾害还导致中方一侧口岸区域道路、通信网络及电力供应中断。In the wake of the disaster, China has activated a Level-II emergency response for disaster relief and a Level-II emergency response for geological disasters, the second-highest in the country's four-tier emergency response system.灾害发生后，中国启动了救灾二级应急响应和地质灾害二级应急响应，这是中国四级应急响应体系中第二高的响应级别。Governments at all levels have responded with immediate measures, making every effort to carry out disaster relief as well as search and rescue operations.各级政府已迅速采取应对措施，全力开展抢险救灾及搜救工作。Three central government departments — the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Emergency Management and the National Development and Reform Commission — have altogether allocated 220 million yuan ($33 million) to support Xizang in carrying out emergency rescue and disaster relief work.财政部、应急管理部、国家发展和改革委员会三部门已累计下拨2.2亿元人民币（约合3300万美元）资金，支持西藏开展应急救援和灾害救助工作。The Ministry of Emergency Management has deployed 249 personnel from the national comprehensive fire and rescue force, along

The United States imposed a new wave of sanctions on Iran on Monday, which it said would cut off the economic lifeline that sustains the country. Experts said the move appears unlikely to force Tehran to bow down, but will further strain the global economy.美国8月24日宣布对伊朗实施新一轮制裁，称将切断维系该国运转的经济命脉。专家表示，此举似乎不太可能迫使德黑兰屈服，反而将进一步对全球经济造成压力。US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a news release on Monday that the new sectoral sanctions target five critical sectors: digital assets, technology, gold, aviation and shipping.美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特在8月24日发布的新闻稿中表示，新一轮行业制裁针对五个关键领域：数字资产、技术、黄金、航空和航运。According to the department, starting on Monday, "the actions of Treasury and other agencies will tighten the noose and block every potential source of revenue that funds the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iranian regime".据财政部称，自8月24日开始，“财政部及其他机构的行动将收紧绞索，切断所有可能为伊斯兰革命卫队和伊朗政权提供资金的收入来源”。The department added that countries and entities continuing to do business with Iran will face heightened secondary sanctions risks.财政部还表示，继续与伊朗做生意的国家和实体将面临更高的次级制裁风险。"Every country has a defined timeline to shut down activities we have identified. If they do not take action, we will do so unilaterally through Treasury authorities," it said. "Any entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of Iran will be removed from the US dollar system."“每个国家都有明确的时间表来停止我们已认定的活动。如果他们不采取行动，我们将通过财政部的授权单方面采取行动，”声明称。“任何代表伊朗协助洗钱的实体将被从美元体系中移除。”China firmly opposed on Tuesday these illegal unilateral sanctions, which it said lack any basis in international law and the authorization of the United Nations Security Council.中国8月25日坚决反对这些非法单边制裁，指出这些制裁缺乏国际法依据和联合国安理会授权。Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a regular news conference that China's cooperation with Iran has always been conducted within the framework of international law and should not be disrupted.外交部发言人林剑在例行记者会上表示，中国与伊朗的合作始终在国际法框架内进行，不应受到干扰。The country will take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard its own rights and interests, he added.他表示，中方将采取一切必要措施，坚定维护自身合法权益。The spokesman stressed that economic warfare and maximum pressure will not help resolve the issue, but only further escalate tensions, create spillover risks, disrupt the global economic and financial order, and harm the legitimate rights and interests of other countries.发言人强调，经济战和极限施压无助于解决问题，只会进一步加剧紧张局势，制造外溢风险，扰乱全球经济和金融秩序，损害其他国家的合法权益。The top priority now is to ease the tensions and return to dialogue and negotiation as soon as possible, Lin said.林剑表示，当务之急是尽快缓和紧张局势，回到对话谈判的轨道上来。Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in his meeting on Monday in Tehran with Pakistan's Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir that the US must change its tone and approach in dealing with Iran, Mehr News agency reported.据梅尔通讯社报道，伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽希齐扬周一在德黑兰与巴基斯坦陆军参谋长阿西姆·穆尼尔会晤时表示，美国必须改变与伊朗打交道的方式和语气。In a separate meeting with Munir on Monday, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said that Tehran remains determined to pursue implementation of the provisions of the US-Iran peace memorandum of understanding signed in June, Tasnim News Agency reported.据塔斯尼姆通讯社报道，伊朗议会议长穆罕默德·巴吉尔·卡利巴夫8月24日在与穆尼尔的另一次会晤中表示，德黑兰仍决心推动落实6月签署的美伊和平谅解备忘录的条款。Washington and Tehran have been at odds since the 1979 Islamic Revolution and the hostage crisis, in which Iranian students seized the US embassy in Tehran and took US diplomats hostage. Washington has imposed a slew of sanctions on Tehran and steadily expanded them over the past four decades.自1979年伊斯兰革命和人质危机以来，华盛顿与德黑兰一直存在分歧。当时伊朗学生占领了美国驻德黑兰大使馆并扣押了美国外交官。过去四十年来，华盛顿对德黑兰实施了一系列制裁，并不断扩大范围。Experts said the latest move is likely to add fresh layers of disruption and complexity to the global economy and diplomatic efforts, particularly as Tehran maintains close communication with regional neighbors and mediators such as Oman and Pakistan.专家表示，此举可能会给全球经济和外交努力带来更多干扰和复杂性，尤其是德黑兰与阿曼和巴基斯坦等地区邻国和调解人保持着密切沟通。Jawaid Iqbal, vice-chancellor of Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University in India, told China Daily that the US has been blowing hot and cold over the past several weeks with regard to Iran.印度巴巴·古拉姆·沙阿·巴德沙大学副校长贾瓦伊德·伊克巴尔对《中国日报》表示，过去几周美国对伊朗的态度反复无常。"This in itself is proof that the US is not in a position to dictate its peace terms with Iran," Iqbal said. "The latest threat of sanctions shows that Washington is trying to somehow extricate itself from a messy situation of its own making."“这本身就证明美国没有能力强迫伊朗接受其和平条件，”伊克巴尔说。“最新的制裁威胁表明，华盛顿正试图以某种方式摆脱自己制造的混乱局面。”"Iran, on the other hand, will not bow down to Washington's terms and conditions so easily. It knows that by retaliating against America's regional allies, it can submerge the entire Gulf into chaos, which will in turn create turmoil in the world economy," he added.“另一方面，伊朗不会轻易屈服于华盛顿的条件。它知道通过对美国地区盟友进行报复，可以使整个海湾地区陷入混乱，进而给世界经济带来动荡，”他补充道。Deniz Istikbal, an assistant professor and economics researcher at Istanbul Medipol University in Turkiye, noted that the economic dimension of the Iran-US conflict is intensifying, posing challenges for the global economy.土耳其伊斯坦布尔梅迪波尔大学助理教授、经济学研究员德尼兹·伊斯提克巴尔指出，伊朗与美国冲突的经济层面正在加剧，对全球经济构成挑战。Conducting business with Iran is becoming increasingly challenging, as Washington seeks to isolate Tehran and push the government to the negotiating table by exerting financial pressure, he said.他表示，随着华盛顿试图通过施加金融压力孤立德黑兰并将伊朗政府推向谈判桌，与伊朗开展业务正变得越来越困难。"These developments are making the conflict increasingly costly for the global economy, while interest rates are rising and inflation is once again becoming a major concern.“这些事态发展使冲突对全球经济的代价越来越大，同时利率正在上升，通胀再次成为主要担忧。”"Ultimately, the cost of the conflict is creating additional burdens for the entire world, particularly for energy-importing countries, leading to higher taxation and increased borrowing needs," Istikbal noted.“最终，冲突的代价给整个世界带来了额外负担，特别是对能源进口国而言，导致税收增加和借贷需求上升，”伊斯提克巴尔指出。sectoral sanctions /ˈsektərəl ˈsæŋkʃənz/行业制裁digital assets /ˈdɪdʒɪtəl ˈæsets/数字资产tighten the noose /ˈtaɪtən ðə nuːs/收紧绞索unilateral sanctions /ˌjuːnɪˈlætərəl ˈsæŋkʃənz/单边制裁spillover risks /ˈspɪləʊvə rɪsks/外溢风险maximum pressure /ˈmæksɪməm ˈpreʃə/极限施压at odds /æt ɒdz/存在分歧blowing hot and cold /ˈbləʊɪŋ hɒt ənd kəʊld/反复无常extricate /ˈekstrɪkeɪt/摆脱submerge /səbˈmɜːdʒ/使陷入turmoil /ˈtɜːmɔɪl/动荡
