Chinese astronauts aboard the China Space Station have enjoyed hot, flavorful chicken wings! This well-seasoned, aromatic space barbecue was made possible by new equipment added to the orbital kitchen for the Shenzhou-21 mission—a Hot Air Baking Oven. The oven features built-in air purification, with both its filtration system and the entire unit having undergone rigorous testing to meet space station entry requirements. Through temperature control and filtration technologies, it achieves smokeless and fume-free baking in orbit, complying with the station's strict emissions standards.中国航天员在中国空间站吃上了热乎乎、香喷喷的烤翅！色香味俱全的烧烤，离不开神舟二十一号任务为太空厨房添加的新装备——热风烘烤机。热风烘烤机内建净化功能，其净化装置和整机都进行过严格测试，可以满足空间站准入条件，通过温控、过滤等技术攻关实现在轨烘烤时的无油烟处理，满足空间站的油烟排放标准。Researchers equipped this "space oven" with a residue collector, heating mesh, baking tray, and mesh cage to prevent food from floating in microgravity. They also increased the maximum heating temperature from the previous 100°C to 190°C.科研人员给“太空炉子”配备了残渣收集器、加热网、烤盘和网笼，解决了食物在轨漂浮的问题，并把加热温度从过去的100度提高到190度。The Shenzhou-21 crew was supplied with ingredients including chicken wings, steak, corn, and cake. Astronauts can prepare full meals in just tens of minutes using pre-set programs or manual controls on the baking oven.科研人员还为神舟二十一号乘组准备了鸡翅、牛排、玉米和蛋糕等食物，航天员可以通过提前设置好的程序或者直接在热风烘烤机上操作几十分钟，就能做出一顿美味大餐。Earlier today, the Shenzhou-20 and Shenzhou-21 crews completed their in-orbit handover. The Shenzhou-20 astronauts are scheduled to return to the Dongfeng landing site aboard their spacecraft tomorrow (May 5). Awaiting their triumphant homecoming!今天神舟二十号和神舟二十一号航天员乘组已完成在轨交接，神舟二十号航天员乘组将于明天（5日）乘坐神舟二十号载人飞船返回东风着陆场，期待凯旋！Aboard China's space station, the hot air oven delivered by the Shenzhou XXI spacecraft has begun baking, as aviral video showed astronauts savoring freshly cooked chicken wings and steaks for the first time.在中国空间站，由神舟二十一号飞船运送的热风烘烤机已投入使用。一段广泛传播的视频显示，航天员们首次享用了现场烤制的鸡翅和牛排。In the video beamed down from the space station, Shenzhou XXI crew member and space engineer Wu Fei is seen taking marinated chicken wings from a package, placing them on a skewer rack, and sliding them into the oven, which, after about 28 minutes, produced a plate ofsizzling, space-made New Orleans chicken wings.从空间站传回的视频中，神舟二十一号乘组航天员、航天工程师吴飞取出包装好的腌制鸡翅，放置在烤叉架上，随后送入烘烤机。大约28分钟后，一盘滋滋作响、“太空出品”的新奥尔良风味鸡翅便制作完成。Wang Jie from the Shenzhou XX crew and Wu Fei, both hailing from North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region -- renowned for its high-quality beef and mutton -- also baked a plate of black pepper steaks. The chicken wings and steaks were soon shared among the six astronauts, with their faces beaming with delight.来自神舟二十号乘组的王杰和武飞均来自以优质牛羊肉闻名的中国北方内蒙古自治区，他们还共同烤制了一盘黑胡椒牛排。烤翅和牛排很快在六名航天员间分享，他们脸上都洋溢着愉悦的笑容。The Shenzhou XXI spaceship was launched on late Friday and its three crew members entered the space station hours later. They have spent several days living and working alongside the Shenzhou XX crew, who are scheduled to return to Earth on Nov 5.神舟二十一号飞船于10月25日晚发射升空，三名航天员于数小时后进入空间站。他们已与神舟二十号乘组共同在轨生活工作数日，后者计划于11月5日返回地球。The space oven has been significantly upgraded compared with conventional ovens on Earth. According to Liu Wei bo from the China Astronaut Research and Training Center, the improvements include technologies for precise temperature control, residue collection, high-temperature catalysis, and multi-layer filtration, enabling smoke-free baking in orbit while meeting the space station's oil fume emission standards.这款太空烤炉相较地面常规烤箱实现了显著升级。据中国航天员科研训练中心的刘伟波介绍，改进包括精准温控、残渣收集、高温催化及多层过滤等技术，从而实现了在轨无烟烘烤，并满足空间站严格的油烟排放标准。The oven and its purification system also underwent rigorous testing to ensure they meet the space station'saccess conditions and can operate continuously and reliably for up to 500 cycles.烘烤机及其净化系统均经历了严格测试，以确保满足空间站准入条件，并能持续可靠运行高达500次。Using the oven to prepare food marks the latest advancement in thelife support system of China's space station. According to the center, the Shenzhou XXI mission has expanded the food variety to over 190 items and extended the menu cycle to 10 days, allowing astronauts to cook and bake ingredients such as fresh vegetables, nuts, cakes and meat while in orbit.使用烤炉制备食品标志着中国空间站生命保障系统取得最新进展。据中国航天员科研训练中心介绍，神舟二十一号任务将太空食品种类扩展至190余种，并将食谱周期延长至10天，使航天员能在轨烹饪包括新鲜蔬菜、坚果、蛋糕和肉类在内的食材。Liu said that after spending several months in the relatively confined space of the station, being able to enjoy aromatic chicken wings and steaks, or freshly baked peanuts and bread prepared by themselves, would surely bring the astronauts a sense of happiness.刘伟波表示，在空间站相对密闭的环境中驻留数月后，能享用到香喷喷的鸡翅、牛排，或自己烤制的花生和面包，必将为航天员带来幸福感。Since China's manned space program entered the phase of space station application and development, ground researchers have continuously improved the variety, texture, flavor, appearance andnutritional value of space food through technological innovation and process enhancements, better meeting the dietary needs of astronauts.自中国载人航天工程进入空间站应用与发展阶段以来，地面研究人员通过技术创新和工艺改进，持续提升太空食品的种类、口感、风味、外观及营养价值，更好地满足了航天员的膳食需求。In addition, new progress has been made in the space station's vegetable garden. Since the Shenzhou XVI mission, the center has carried out research and verification on in-orbit plant substrate cultivation. By using regenerative substrate, long-term controlled-release fertilizer and microporous water conduction technology, the garden has achieved effective supply of water and nutrients under microgravity conditions.此外，空间站“菜园”也取得了新进展。 自神舟十六号任务起，中国航天员科研训练中心开展了在轨植物基质栽培研究验证。通过使用可再生基质、长效控释肥和微孔导水技术，“菜园”在微重力条件下实现了水分和养分的有效供给。So far, 10 batches of seven plant species, including lettuce, cherry tomatoes and sweet potatoes, have been cultivated, providing astronauts with 4.5 kg of fresh fruits and vegetables. Among them, lettuce and cherry tomatoes have achieved a full-cycle cultivation from seed to seed.截至目前，已成功培育出生菜、樱桃番茄、红薯等7类植物共10批次，为航天员提供了4.5公斤新鲜果蔬。其中，生菜和樱桃番茄已实现了从种子到种子的全周期培养。"We prepared feasts for the astronauts for traditional Chinese festivals such as Spring Festival, and there are even gift packages that can only be opened on the day of the festival," said Zang Peng from the center.该中心的臧鹏表示：“我们为航天员准备了春节等中国传统节日的节令膳食，还有只能在节日当天打开的'节日盲盒。”a viral video广泛传播的视频sizzling/ˈsɪz.əl.ɪŋ/adj.滋滋作响的access conditions准入条件life support system生命保障系统nutritional value营养价值

New Zealand's electric car market is reaching a tipping point. Five new Chinese car brands have entered the market in the last two months – Dongfeng being the latest. Its launch lineup includes three fully electric models, and dealerships are set to open in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch later in the year. Auto Distributors NZ CEO Simon Rutherford told Mike Hosking the market has shifted over the last few years to be more accepting of EVs. He says people who are looking to buy a second car are increasingly more likely to consider buying electric, and even in the last year there's been a shift of about 10% out of pure ICE vehicles into something electrified.

In this episode of Deep Dive, we explore the Dongfeng-5C— a liquid-fueled intercontinental ballistic missile that made its high-profile debut at Beijing's September 3rd, 2025 commemoration (marking the 80th anniversary of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War). Far beyond a new military hardware reveal, the Dongfeng-5C has become a global focal point, and we unpack its strategic weight: from its game-changing capabilities (global strike range, ultra-high speed, MIRV technology) to its decades-long development history, and the mixed domestic and international reactions it sparked. We also discuss how it fits with China's "no first use" nuclear policy, its role in reshaping deterrence psychology, and the broader questions it raises about 21st-century global security dynamics.

China declassified on Wednesday several new types of strategically significant weapon systems, including the nuclear-capable DF-5C intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of striking any part of the Earth.昨天，中国解密了多款具有重要战略意义的新型武器系统，其中包括可携带核弹头的东风 - 5C（DF-5C）洲际弹道导弹，该导弹能够打击地球上的任何区域。Upholding a longstanding practice that has been observed in previous parades, the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force unveiled its new strike missiles near the end of a head-turning parade marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.在纪念中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利 80 周年的盛大阅兵式接近尾声时，中国人民解放军火箭军遵循以往阅兵的长期惯例，展示了其新型打击导弹。Eight types of ballistic missiles paraded down Chang 'an Avenue in central Beijing, including the YJ-21 supersonic ballistic missile, the DF-17 medium-range hypersonic ballistic missile, the DF-26D intermediate-range ballistic missile, the JL-3 submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile, the JL-1 air-launched ballistic missile, as well as the land-based DF-31BJ, DF-61 and DF-5C intercontinental ballistic missiles.八种弹道导弹在北京中心城区的长安街上驶过，包括鹰击 - 21（YJ-21）超音速弹道导弹、东风 - 17（DF-17）中程高超音速弹道导弹、东风 - 26D（DF-26D）中程弹道导弹、巨浪 - 3（JL-3）潜射洲际弹道导弹、惊雷 - 1（JL-1）空射弹道导弹，以及陆基东风 - 31BJ（DF-31BJ）、东风 - 61（DF-61）和东风 - 5C（DF-5C）洲际弹道导弹。Each missile designation carries a specific meaning in Chinese: YJ stands for Ying ji, or Eagle Strike; DF, the popularly abbreviated name for Dongfeng, or East Wind; JL for Ju lang, or Massive Wave in the case of submarine-launched missiles; and JL for Jing lei, or Shocking Thunderclap for air-launched missiles.每种导弹的代号在中文里都有特定含义：YJ 代表 “鹰击”（Ying ji）；DF 是 “东风”（Dongfeng）的常用缩写，意为 “东方之风”；在潜射导弹中，JL 代表 “巨浪”（Ju lang），意为 “巨大的波浪”；而在空射导弹中，JL 代表 “惊雷”（Jing lei），意为 “令人震惊的雷声”。Among them, the JL-3, JL-1, DF-26D, DF-31BJ, DF-61 and DF-5C had previously been classified. Their joint debut indicates China's establishment of its nuclear triad, a reliable nuclear deterrence system with land-, sea- and air-based nuclear retaliation capabilities. This fills a previous gap in China's nuclear arsenal, as the Chinese military lacked a usable air-based nuclear weapon.其中，巨浪 - 3（JL-3）、惊雷 - 1（JL-1）、东风 - 26D（DF-26D）、东风 - 31BJ（DF-31BJ）、东风 - 61（DF-61）和东风 - 5C（DF-5C）此前均处于保密状态。它们的集体亮相标志着中国已建立 “三位一体” 核力量 —— 这是一套具备陆基、海基和空基核反击能力的可靠核威慑体系。这填补了中国核武库此前的一项空白，此前中国军队缺乏可投入使用的空基核武器。In addition to these strategic missiles, the parade showcased the CJ-1000 vehicle-mounted supersonic cruise missile, the YJ-18C ship-launched cruise missile, and the YJ-21 air-launched ballistic missile, demonstrating the PLA's enhanced capability for long-range precision assaults from various dimensions.除上述战略导弹外，此次阅兵还展示了长剑 - 1000（CJ-1000）车载超音速巡航导弹、鹰击 - 18C（YJ-18C）舰射巡航导弹和鹰击 - 21（YJ-21）空射弹道导弹，彰显出中国人民解放军在多维度远程精确打击方面的能力提升。Four new types of hypersonic strike missiles — YJ-15, YJ-17, YJ-19 and YJ-20 — were also displayed, highlighting the Navy's ability to carry out ultrafast, long-distance precision strikes on hostile ships and land targets, according to the PLA.中国人民解放军表示，此次还展示了四种新型高超音速打击导弹 —— 鹰击 - 15（YJ-15）、鹰击 - 17（YJ-17）、鹰击 - 19（YJ-19）和鹰击 - 20（YJ-20），这凸显出中国海军具备对敌方舰艇和地面目标实施超高速、远距离精确打击的能力。declassify音标：/ˌdiːˈklæsɪfaɪ/翻译：v. 解密（官方文件、信息等）intercontinental音标：/ˌɪntəˌkɒntɪˈnentl/（英式）；/ˌɪntərˌkɑːntɪˈnentl/（美式）翻译：adj. 洲际的deterrence音标：/dɪˈterəns/翻译：n. 威慑；威慑力hypersonic音标：/ˌhaɪpəˈsɒnɪk/（英式）；/ˌhaɪpərˈsɑːnɪk/（美式）翻译：adj. 高超音速的（指速度超过 5 倍音速）

Nu va putea trimite pe 4 iunie la Bruxelles un plan fiscal adoptat de reducere a deficitului bugetar la 7%, o reformă fără de care urmează blocarea fondurilor europene.E posibil să fi obținut de la Comisia Europeană o mică amânare, până la final de iunie, pentru adoptarea planului prin OUG, altă soluție nu prea există, de către un guvern cu puteri depline.Ca să ne încadrăm măcar în această amânare, săptămâna aceasta ar trebui să avem cel puțin numele premierului și formarea guvernului să intre în linie dreaptă.Există un singur nume politic credibil, de la distanță, pentru cetățeni. Ilie Bolojan. Dar cel mai mare partid, indispensabil guvernării, este PSD. De el depinde însăși existența guvernului și în mod normal el ar putea pretinde legitim funcția.PSD nu o vrea în mod special, dar nici nu o poate da degeaba. Deci cere compensații. Și pe masă e zestre mare, de la șefia SRI, pe care președintele doar o propune, majoritatea o decide în Parlament, șefia Camerei Deputaților, a Senatului, dacă dl Bolojan devine premier, doua poziții de judecători CCR, ministerele cheie, șefiile radio și TV publice, Avocatul Poporului etc.Și, sigur, mai există o întrebare cheie. Poate Ilie Bolojan să aibă încredere în PSD, în solidaritatea acestuia la greu, chiar dacă obține un acord acoperitor al coaliției?Pe de o parte, PSD nu are decât o conducere provizorie până la congresul din august. Acum va semna Sorin Grindeanu, dar asta nu înseamnă că viitorul președinte va rămâne de acord cu înțelegerea și că o nouă formulă de conducere nu va încerca să o remodeleze sub presiunea răsturnării guvernului.Sunt multe întrebări sensibile în jurul cărora se învârt discuțiile acestor zile, dar ar fi  grav să mai treacă o săptămână cu tot felul de comisii și tatonări, fără desemnarea unui premier, comentează pe pagina SpotMedia jurnalista Ioana Ene Dogioiu.PSD, în căutarea doctrinei pierdute. Cum poate partidul să recâștige încrederea electoratului ANALIZĂ (Adevărul)Finalul ciclului electoral deschide în PSD o perioadă cu mize ce depășesc simpla schimbare de lideri. În toamnă, formațiunea politică va organiza un Congres pentru alegerea noii conduceri și redefinirea liniei ideologice. Cei care solicită schimbarea doctrinei au spus că Partidul Social Democrat trebuie să devină un partid conservator. Astfel, la următorul Congres al PSD partidul ar părăsi familia social-democrată europeană și ar putea să își schimbe și numele.În prezent, statulul PSD menționează că „Partidul Social Democrat este un partid de stânga modern şi progresist, un partid naţional cu vocaţie europeană, membru al Partidului Socialiştilor Europeni şi al Internaţionalei Socialiste, continuatorul tradiţiei social-democraţiei româneşti” și „promovează doctrina social-democrată”.Politologul Cristian Pârvulescu explică faptul că „stânga se centrează pe egalitate. Și la marile subiecte care sunt cruciale pentru egalitate, PSD este pe poziție ultraconservatoare cvasifascistă. De exemplu, problema căsătoriei între persoanele de același sex sau a parteneriatului civil. Problema avortului. (...) Problema migrației. Sunt foarte multe probleme pe care le abordează din perspectivă de dreapta. (...) în Europa centrală și de est nu s-au putut construi partidele de stânga, pentru că au fost decredibilizate de comuniști și pentru că nu prea a existat susținere”.Practic, PSD este un partid post-comunist dezideologizat, un partid care încearcă să ia voturi de peste tot, pentru care ideologia nu are nicio importanță, completează expertul pentru ziarul Adevărul.INTERVIU Important economist, autor a 50 de cărți: „Un dezastru pentru România. Adică lucrez și 65% dau la stat?” / Dă un exemplu de companie de stat „pe care politicienii au pus-o pe butuci” (HotNews)Directorul Institutului de Prognoză Economică din cadrul Academiei Române, Lucian Albu, reputat economist de dreapta și profesor, a discutat pentru publicul HotNews despre măsurile necesare României în dezbaterea echilibrării bugetului. Albu a atras atenția că una dintre cele vehiculate măsuri poate avea cele mai nefaste efecte pentru populație: impozitarea progresivă. „Cum am mai stimula forța de muncă să mai muncească?”, spune el. Economistul consideră că pe termen scurt creșterea TVA pentru celelate categorii care nu sunt în prezent la cota de 19% poate să fie o sursă „foarte sigură de a crește gradul de colectare și de a mai reduce din deficit”.România, pământ chinezesc. Branduri românești sunt aplicate pe produse realizate în China și apoi vândute în țara noastră. Expert: „Este un vid legislativ” (Libertatea)Tot mai multe companii autohtone comercializează în România produse cu propriile branduri și logouri, dar, de fapt, acestea sunt realizate în China. Acest fenomen se observă în special în industria auto și cea de electronice, dar este valabil și în altele, precum mobilă sau textile.Aceste produse sunt mai scumpe decât se vând în statul asiatic, câteodată costă chiar dublu sau triplu, sunt dar mai ieftine decât modelele europene sau americane similare comercializate în țara noastră. Libertatea vă prezintă cele mai întâlnite cazuri.Dacia Spring este, de fapt, un Dongfeng.Modelul electric al producătorului auto nu are nimic de-a face cu fabricile de la Mioveni. Acesta este produs în China de către un alt partener de afaceri al Renault, respectiv producătorul de stat Dongfeng. Însă în timp ce modelul chinez pornește cu un preț de la 5.500 de dolari pe Alibaba, echivalentul a 4.850 de euro, în România, grupul francez a trecut un preț de pornire de la 16.900 de euro în cea mai puțin dotată versiune, conform site-ului Dacia. Versiunea cea mai scumpă are un preț de listă de 19.900 de euro. Prețul prin programul Rabla pleacă de la 11.400 de euro.Sorin Mierlea, președinele asociației Infocons, care se ocupă cu protecția consumatorilor, spune că nu există legislație care să definească foarte clar ce înseamnă produs românesc.

The Shenzhou XIX mission astronauts landed safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region on Wednesday afternoon, wrapping up their six-month orbital journey.神舟十九号航天员于周三下午安全降落在内蒙古自治区的东风着陆场，圆满结束了为期六个月的轨道飞行。The Shenzhou XIX spacecraft's reentry capsule, carrying the three crew members—mission commander Senior Colonel Cai Xuzhe, Lieutenant Colonel Song Lingdong and Lieutenant Colonel Wang Haoze—touched down at 1:08 pm at the Dongfeng Landing Site, located in the middle of the Gobi Desert, after flying more than nine hours on their return journey.神舟十九号飞船返回舱搭载着三名宇航员——任务指令长蔡旭哲大校、宋令东中校和王浩泽中校——经过九个多小时的飞行，于下午1点08分安全降落在位于戈壁滩中部的东风着陆场。Their return was delayed by one day from the original schedule because of weather concerns at the Dongfeng site.由于东风着陆场天气原因，他们的返程比原计划推迟了一天。In the following hours after the return, ground recovery personnel from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, the homeport for all of China's manned spaceflights, will conduct safety checks outside the capsule, before opening the hatch of the bell-shaped vehicle and examining the astronauts' health condition.返回后的几个小时内，来自所有中国载人航天飞行的“母港”——酒泉卫星发射中心的地面回收人员将对返回舱外部进行安全检查，然后打开钟形飞行器的舱门，检查航天员的健康状况。The Shenzhou XIX crew members will then be helped out of the capsule and sent for medical examination.神舟十九号机组人员随后将在工作人员的协助下离开舱体，接受体检。After completion of all the mandatory procedures at the landing site, the crew members will be flown back to Beijing to undergo a six-month quarantine and recuperation program, which is a standard procedure for Chinese astronauts returning from space.在着陆场完成所有强制性程序后，机组人员将乘飞机返回北京，接受为期六个月的隔离和休养，这是中国航天员返回的标准程序。The Shenzhou XIX spacecraft departed from the Tiangong station around 4 am on Wednesday. The vessel flew into a return trajectory and gradually re-entered the Earth's atmosphere.神舟十九号飞船于周三凌晨4点左右从天宫空间站起飞。飞船进入返回轨道，并逐渐重返地球大气层。Before setting out on their return trip, Cai's team handed over their work to a new crew, transmitted scientific experimental data back to Earth and sorted and transferred materials between the station and their spaceship.在启程返回之前，蔡旭哲的团队将工作移交给了新的机组人员，将科学实验数据传输回地球，并在空间站和飞船之间进行材料整理和转移。In the next six months, the Tiangong station will be manned by the Shenzhou XX trio, headed by Senior Colonel Chen Dong, who arrived at the colossal flying outpost early on Friday morning.在接下来的六个月里，天宫空间站将由神舟二十号乘组驻守，该乘组由于周五清晨抵达这个巨大的飞行前哨的陈冬上校带队。autonomous region自治区trajectory/trəˈdʒɛktəri/n.轨道，弹道mandatory/ˈmændətɔːri/adj.强制的，义务的recuperation/rɪˌkuːpəˈreɪʃn/n.恢复，康复

The world's first humanoid robot half-marathon, with 20 robots running alongside thousands of human participants, was held in Beijing on Saturday, but it was just the starting gun for China's burgeoning robotics industry, according to executives and experts.周六，全球首届人形机器人半程马拉松在北京举行。20个机器人与数千名人类参赛者同场竞技。据业内高管和专家称，这仅仅是中国蓬勃发展的机器人产业的发令枪。The marathon, despite some imperfect performances like an occasional stumble, proved that China's humanoid robots are moving from flashy laboratory demos to real-world scenarios. In the shadow of the United States' recent tariff hikes, China's advances in artificial intelligence and robotics may stand out as a potent counterstrike, they added.尽管比赛表现存在一些瑕疵，例如偶尔摔倒，但这场马拉松证明了中国的人形机器人正在从实验室的炫技走向现实。他们补充道，在美国近期加征关税的阴影下，中国在人工智能和机器人技术领域的进步或许能成为一记强有力的反击。In the 21-kilometer half-marathon, which tested the physical limits of even some human runners, six of the 20 robots managed to finish the race. Tiangong Ultra, standing 1.8 meters tall and weighing 55 kilograms, won the race with a time of 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds.这场21公里的半程马拉松甚至挑战了一些人类参赛者的身体极限。20个机器人中有6个完成了比赛。身高1.8米、体重55公斤的“天工Ultra”以2小时40分42秒的成绩夺冠。Xiong Youjun, CEO of the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, the developer of Tiangong Ultra, said, "The goal wasn't just to cross the finish line, but to test key technologies through the rigors of a long-distance run, then improve technological breakthroughs, and finally, lay the groundwork for robots to enter factories and daily life services."“天工Ultra”的研发方、北京人形机器人创新中心首席执行官熊友军表示：“我们的目标不仅仅是冲过终点线，而是通过长距离的严酷考验，检验关键技术，进而改进技术突破，最终为机器人进入工厂和日常生活服务领域奠定基础。”Xiong said the robots needed compact, heat-resistant joints, precise motion control and strong core algorithms to finish the race. The half-marathon also tested their stability, reliability, battery life and ability to handle complex terrain like slopes and turns.熊友军表示，要完成比赛，机器人需要紧凑、耐热的关节、精准的运动控制和强大的核心算法。这场半程马拉松也考验了它们的稳定性、可靠性、续航能力以及应对坡道、弯道等复杂地形的能力。Liang Liang, deputy director of the management committee of Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, one of the organizers of the race, said: "The robot half-marathon, the world's first such race, marked a new starting gun for the whole industry. It also sparked deeper public discussion around human-machine coexistence, raised awareness and will help accelerate the development of the robotics industry."北京经开区管理委员会副主任梁靓是赛事主办方之一，他表示：“作为全球首个机器人半程马拉松赛事，它标志着整个行业新的起跑线。它还引发了公众对人机共存的更深入讨论，提高了公众的认知，将有助于加速机器人产业的发展。”The event came as China accelerates its push to develop humanoid robots, having labeled them as a "strategic frontier" in 2023, when it also set a target of mass production and domestic supply chain security by 2027.此次活动正值中国加快推进人形机器人研发之际，中国已于2023年将人形机器人列为“战略前沿”，并设定了到2027年实现量产和国内供应链安全的目标。While US companies such as Boston Dynamics and Tesla have dominated headlines with viral demos and futuristic visions, Chinese brands and companies are rapidly catching up—not just in manufacturing but also in mass-producing such robots and making them inexpensive for ordinary people.尽管波士顿动力和特斯拉等美国公司凭借病毒式传播的视频和未来愿景频频登上头条，但中国品牌和企业正在迅速追赶——不仅在制造环节追赶，更在量产和大众可负担层面发力。For instance, Unitree Robotics, another leading robotics company, priced its G1 humanoid robots at 99,000 yuan ($13,560). Such a price sets them apart from Tesla's Optimus, which is expected to cost between $20,000 and $30,000. The company said it is currently preparing for a globally livestreamed humanoid robot boxing match.例如，另一家领先的机器人公司“宇树科技”将其G1人形机器人定价为9.9万元人民币（约合13,560美元）。这样的价格使其与特斯拉的“擎天柱”(Optimus)相差甚远，后者预计售价在2万至3万美元之间。该公司表示，目前正在筹备一场全球直播的人形机器人拳击比赛。According to a recent report by Leaderobot and nine other institutions, China is on track to produce more than 10,000 humanoid robots this year, accounting for more than half of global output and generating 8.24 billion yuan in sales revenue.根据Leaderobot联合其他九家机构最近发布的报告，中国今年有望生产超过1万台人形机器人，占全球产量的一半以上，销售收入达82.4亿元人民币。With costs falling and ecosystems maturing, the humanoid robot industry is poised to leap from pilot projects to large-scale commercialization. This could give the country a new economic growth engine, the report said.随着成本下降和生态系统日趋成熟，人形机器人产业有望从试点项目迈向大规模商业化。报告称，这可能会给中国带来新的经济增长引擎。Signs of commercial traction were emerging in March, when Chinese robotics company UBTech Robotics—a provider of robots to automaker Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor Co—said that Dongfeng would roll out 20 industrial humanoid robots, with full deployment expected during the first half of this year.商业化信号已在三月初现端倪。当时，中国机器人公司优必选（UBTech Robotics，一家为汽车制造商东风柳州汽车有限公司提供机器人的公司）宣布，东风将推出20台工业人形机器人，预计将于今年上半年全面部署。Xie Shaofeng, chief engineer at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at a news conference last week that mainstream humanoid robots in China "are increasingly being deployed in manufacturing scenarios—assisting on auto production lines and supporting smart sorting and logistics".工业和信息化部总工程师谢少锋在上周的新闻发布会上表示，中国主流的人形机器人“正越来越多地应用于制造场景——辅助汽车生产线，并支持智能分拣和物流”。burgeoning/ˈbɜːdʒənɪŋ/adj.迅速发展的；激增的potent counterstrike/ˈpəʊtənt ˈkaʊntəstraɪk/有力的反击commercial traction/kəˈmɜːʃl ˈtrækʃn/商业吸引力；市场牵引力strategic frontier/strəˈtiːdʒɪk frʌnˈtɪə(r)/战略前沿

C'est l'histoire d'un marin très recherché, qui enchaîne embarquements et coups d'éclat, mais n'a pas vraiment suivi les voies d'accès traditionnelles à la voile de compétition. Né à Lyon dans une famille où personne ne pratique le bateau, c'est grâce à... son prof de judo qu'il découvre la voile en Méditerranée. C'est là qu'il va progressivement faire son trou et se spécialiser dans l'électronique et la navigation sur des bateaux de propriétaires, de plus en plus gros, tout en suivant des études en géologie à Lyon.En 2014, il embarque sur l'ex VOR 70 SFS avec Lionel Péan, qui sillonne en course toute la Grande Bleue. Deux ans et demi plus tard, début 2017, il tente sa chance et candidate chez Dongfeng : il participe à la campagne victorieuse de Charles Caudrelier et des siens dans la Volvo Ocean Race, en charge, dans l'équipe technique, de l'électronique.Cette fois c'est le grand bain, il a été repéré et est appelé par Spindrift, tandis que l'équipe Dongfeng l'encourage à assumer ses envies de Figaro, lui qui n'a jamais couru en solitaire. Il se jette à l'eau en 2019 et le bizuth explose sur la Solitaire avec une 6e place et même, du jamais vu, un titre de champion de France élite de course au large.Désormais installé à Lorient, son téléphone sonne de plus en plus souvent : tout en enchaînant les stand-by et les tentatives de Trophée Jules Verne avec Spindrift, il gagne le championnat d'Europe mixte de course au large avec Marie Riou, est recruté pour The Ocean Race Europe sur Corum, puis navigue à bord d'Holcim-PRB sur The Ocean Race, où il finit skipper après l'affaire Escoffier.Fin 2023, il doit participer à la Transat Jacques Vabre avec Nicolas Troussel, mais le sponsor finit par renoncer après un démâtage sur le Défi Azimut. En 2024, il découvre le Class40 avec Fabien Delahaye (1er et 2e sur la Normandy Channel Race et Québec Saint-Malo) et le duo Alberto Riva-Jean Marre (2e sur la Niji 40). Il intègre le team Gitana pour cet hiver, avant que le maxi-trimaran Edmond de Rothschild ne démâte à Gibraltar. Le téléphone sonne quelques jours plus tard et l'équipage de Sodebo le récupère pour le Trophée Jules Verne.Pour la saison prochaine, il n'a rien de prévu, pour le moment.

*) Israeli strikes hit Gaza hospitals, many Palestinians killed Heavy bombardment from Israeli forces early Monday hit Gaza hard, killing many Palestinians and leaving countless others injured. The scene was devastating, with widespread destruction across several neighbourhoods. According to Wafa news agency, Israeli artillery strikes took a heavy toll — lives lost, people hurt, and some still trapped under rubble. Rescue teams are scrambling to find survivors, but no official numbers have been released yet. Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia also came under fire — the nursery was damaged, and a child was injured. And at the Indonesian Hospital, a drone strike sent patients and staff into a panic, creating a chaotic and terrifying scene. *) Swiss intelligence exposes PKK's secret operations Switzerland's intelligence service has dropped a bombshell — the PKK, a group labelled as a terrorist organisation by Türkiye, the US and the EU, has been running secret operations right under their noses. According to a fresh report from Switzerland's Federal Intelligence Service, or FIS, the PKK has been using Swiss soil to raise money, spread its propaganda and even run terrorist training camps. The PKK has been in a violent campaign against Türkiye for 40 years, leading to over 40,000 deaths, including civilians. The FIS report makes it clear: the PKK is active within Switzerland, recruiting young Kurdish refugees and preparing them for actions against the Turkish military. *) UN warns of ‘dangerous escalation' over potential N Korean troops in Russia UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is raising the alarm over reports that North Korean troops may have joined Russia, possibly heading toward the battlefields in Ukraine. His spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, conveyed his concern on Sunday, saying Guterres is “very concerned” about reports of North Korean forces potentially being deployed to Ukraine's conflict zone. According to US intelligence, North Korean troops have shown up around Russia's Kursk border region. Interestingly, neither North Korea nor Russia has denied these reports. *) Maia Sandu declares victory in Moldova's presidential runoff election Moldova's pro-EU President Maia Sandu declared a win on Sunday in the country's tense presidential runoff, with almost all votes counted. She held a strong lead with 54 percent, defeating her pro-Russian rival, Alexandr Stoianoglo. Sandu, a former World Bank economist, declared in her victory speech that “Moldovans have given a lesson in democracy, worthy of history books”. Sandu's win is being seen as a huge boost for Moldova's pro-Western government and her vision of closer ties with Europe, steering Moldova one step closer to the EU. *) Chinese crew returns after 6-month mission on Tiangong space station After six months aboard China's Tiangong space station, the Shenzhou 18 crew has made a safe return. The spacecraft's return capsule touched down in northern China on Sunday, wrapping up an intense mission in space. The China Manned Space Agency confirmed that its astronauts landed at the Dongfeng site in Inner Mongolia. Since their launch on April 25, they have been working and living aboard the Tiangong.

Parfois il faut atteindre un certain âge pour comprendre pourquoi un projet s'impose à vous. C'est ce qui est arrivé à Eric Peron, quand il a décidé de se lancer dans la préparation de l'Arkea Ultim Challenge : tout à coup, il a compris qu'il rêvait de tour du monde depuis son enfance et le départ du deuxième Vendée Globe.Ce n'était pas forcément écrit : fils de voileux installés en Finistère - sa mère a rencontré son père en portant réclamation contre lui en régate ! - il plonge d'abord dans la régate en optimist, en 420 et en 470, jusqu'à rentrer en équipe de France. Mais le rêve olympique est inatteignable, alors le jeune Péron se lance en Figaro au mitan des années 2000, avec une première Transat AG2R en 2004, à 23 ans, puis une première Solitaire en 2006. Il va devenir un habitué de la classe, intégrant le team Skipper Macif, et multipliant les places d'honneur, en particulier sur la transat en double.Le figariste change de dimension en intégrant l'équipage de Dongfeng sur la Volvo Ocean Race 2014-2015 : il adore, et la petite graine d'un tour du monde en solo commence à grandir. Il revient au Figaro, multiplie les embarquements en Imoca et en Class40 sur des Transat Jacques Vabre (2015, 2017, 2019, 2021). Il pense même pouvoir s'aligner au départ du Vendée Globe, avant que son sponsor, en faillite, ne le plante et le laisse avec des dettes...Eric Péron raconte bien les hauts et les bas de la vie de skipper-entrepreneur - un statut endossé par contrainte, mais qu'il a appris à apprécier, alors il se lance en Ocean Fifty sur le Rhum 2022, et décide de s'aligner au départ de l'Arkea Ultim Challenge : "Ce projet, c'est toute ma vie", explique-t-il tout simplement. Une préparation commando et un sponsor arrivé quelques semaines plus tôt vont lui permettre d'aller au bout de son rêve.Comme tous ceux qui ont participé à l'épreuve, bouclée en 66 jours, il en revient marqué, physiquement et psychologiquement, et le raconte avec beaucoup de franchise, d'une voix douce, en cherchant parfois ses mots pour trouver le ton juste.Rien qui ne l'empêche de vouloir repartir à nouveau, et en Ultime si possible...Diffusé le 4 octobre 2024Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Avec ses lunettes rondes et son air de jeune homme de bonne famille, on donnerait facilement le bon Dieu sans confession à Fabien Delahaye. Ses adversaires... un peu moins ! Car à même pas 40 ans, le discret Normand a déjà parcouru un sacré bout de chemin, et souvent en tête de la flotte.Jugez plutôt. Issue d'une famille éloignée de la voile, il découvre la pratique par le biais de l'école. S'ensuivent de longues années de voile légère, en Equipe, en 420 puis en 470, à Ouistreham, où il apprend la rigueur du support olympique. Mais le large le tente pour devenir pro : les études bouclées, il se lance dans les sélections en Mini et en Figaro, avant de monter son propre projet.A 24 ans, il se jette dans le grand bain, et apprend à nager assez vite : 1er bizuth pour sa première saison, vainqueur de la transat AG2R avec Armel Le Cléac'h l'année suivante, 2e de la Solitaire et champion de France pour sa troisième saison !

Avec ses lunettes rondes et son air de jeune homme de bonne famille, on donnerait facilement le bon Dieu sans confession à Fabien Delahaye. Ses adversaires... un peu moins ! Car à même pas 40 ans, le discret Normand a déjà parcouru un sacré bout de chemin, et souvent en tête de la flotte.Jugez plutôt. Issue d'une famille éloignée de la voile, il découvre la pratique par le biais de l'école. S'ensuivent de longues années de voile légère, en Equipe, en 420 puis en 470, à Ouistreham, où il apprend la rigueur du support olympique. Mais le large le tente pour devenir pro : les études bouclées, il se lance dans les sélections en Mini et en Figaro, avant de monter son propre projet.A 24 ans, il se jette dans le grand bain, et apprend à nager assez vite : 1er bizuth pour sa première saison, vainqueur de la transat AG2R avec Armel Le Cléac'h l'année suivante, 2e de la Solitaire et champion de France pour sa troisième saison ! Les trois saisons suivantes il court sous les couleurs de Skipper Macif, multipliant les places d'honneur, remportant au passage la Transat Jacques Vabre en 2013, avec Sébastien Rogues en Class40.En 2015, saturé de Figaro, il découvre l'Imoca avec Jean-Pierre Dick, qu'il accompagne dans son dernier Vendée Globe.
