Amid record numbers of new university graduates and a persistent labor mismatch across China, a fast-growing number of degree holders are turning to vocational training to acquire practical workplace skills, plugging long-standing gaps between theoretical university learning and on-the-job requirements.全国高校毕业生规模创历史新高，劳动力供需错配问题长期存在。越来越多拥有本科学历的毕业生选择参加职业培训，习得职场实用技能，弥补高校理论学习与岗位实操要求之间长期存在的鸿沟。The shift is epitomized by 26-year-old Liu Wenhao, who holds an environmental design degree. His first jobs in interior design in Qingdao, Shandong province, paid under 3,000 yuan ($445) a month, and despite cycling through five employers in a single year, he saw virtually no pay growth. He repeatedly confronted real-world work demands unaddressed by his university education, including being tasked single-handedly with designing a 300-square-meter apartment.26岁的刘文浩便是这一转变的典型代表，他本科专业为环境设计。他早年在山东青岛从事室内设计，首份工作月薪不足3000元（折合445美元）；一年内接连换了五家公司，薪资却几乎毫无涨幅。工作中屡屡遇到大学课程未曾覆盖的实操难题，比如独立完成一套300平米住宅的全套设计。To break his career stagnation, Liu enrolled at Qingdao Technicians College in 2024 in a multimedia training program, a sector booming as social media reshapes corporate communications and brand outreach. His newly acquired practical skills were in such strong demand that he left the two-year program early last year to take a corporate communications role at a local manufacturing plant, with his monthly income increasing to 5,000 yuan.为打破职业发展瓶颈，刘文浩2024年进入青岛市技师学院，报读多媒体专业培训。随着社交媒体重塑企业宣传与品牌推广模式，多媒体行业迎来快速发展。他习得的实操技能市场紧俏，于是去年提前结业，入职当地一家制造企业负责品牌宣传，月薪涨到5000元。"A degree only gets you through the door. What matters afterward is your actual ability," Liu said.刘文浩表示：“学历只是入职敲门砖，真正决定发展上限的是实操能力。”With the number of college graduates nationwide reaching a historic high of 12.7 million this year, vocational "retraining" has evolved from individual career adjustment into a notable social trend, fueled in part by national policy priorities aimed at resolving China's stubborn labor supply-demand imbalance.今年全国高校毕业生规模达到1270万的历史峰值。职业技能回炉培训已从个人职业调整手段，演变为显著社会风潮，国家出台多项重点政策，着力破解长期难以化解的劳动力供需失衡问题，进一步助推这一趋势。During a 2024 study session of the Political Bureau of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, identified the mismatch between graduate talent supply and industrial skills demand as the country's foremost employment challenge. He called for adjustments to academic programs and resource allocation in higher education, enhancements to vocational education and improvements in lifelong vocational skills training.2024年，中共二十届中央政治局开展集体学习，习近平总书记指出，高校人才供给与产业技能需求错配是我国就业领域首要难题。总书记提出，要优化高等教育专业设置与资源配置，做强职业教育，完善终身职业技能培训体系。Authorities have moved swiftly to implement these directives, restructuring university course offerings and resource distribution, modernizing vocational training infrastructure and expanding subsidized skill-upgrading programs.各地各部门迅速落实相关部署：调整高校专业布局与资源分配，升级职业培训实训硬件，扩大政府补贴式技能提升培训覆盖面。Official figures show the government delivered 11.53 million subsidized vocational training sessions in 2025 alone, part of a broader push to align graduate capabilities with industrial needs.官方数据显示，仅2025年，政府补贴开展的职业培训累计达1153万人次，这也是全国统筹推进毕业生能力适配产业发展的重要举措。Findings from a 2025 survey covering 105 technician schools show that between 2023 and 2025, the number of schools running courses targeted at college graduates rose from 26 to 45, with total enrollment increasing from 1,821 to 2462.2025年一项覆盖105所技师学院的调研显示：2023至2025年间，开设高校毕业生专项技能班的院校数量从26所增至45所，参训总人数从1821人提升至2462人。Growth is particularly robust among learners with higher academic credentials. Institutions offering retraining for holders of bachelor's degrees and higher jumped 75 percent, from 16 to 28, and enrollment in these programs climbed from 401 to 570 participants.高学历参训群体增长势头尤为迅猛。面向本科及以上学历人群开设回炉课程的院校数量大涨75%，从16所增至28所；对应参训人数从401人升至570人。While highly educated retrainees still account for a modest share of overall vocational students, their rapid growth rate signals fast-rising demand for practical skill upgrades among China's university-educated workforce, experts say.专家表示，尽管高学历回炉学员在全部职校学生中占比仍不高，但其增速迅猛，说明国内本科就业群体对实操技能提升的需求正在快速攀升。National and local policymakers have rolled out targeted initiatives to accelerate the trend.中央及各地政府陆续推出专项扶持举措，持续推动这一发展趋势。In April last year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security launched a nationwide campaign encouraging vocational colleges to open specialized training tracks for university graduates.去年4月，人社部启动全国专项行动，引导各类职业院校开设面向高校毕业生的专属技能培训赛道。The push comes amid acute industry-wide talent shortages. The ministry estimated that China was facing a skilled-labor shortage of 4.5 million in smart manufacturing alone by the end of last year.该行动出台的背景是全行业技能人才缺口突出。人社部测算，截至去年年底，仅智能制造领域，我国技能人才缺口就达450万。To address this, Beijing plans a two-year program this year at six technician colleges in smart manufacturing, multimedia and auto repair.为补齐人才短板，北京今年启动为期两年的专项培养计划，依托六所技师学院开设智能制造、多媒体、汽车维修三大方向培训班。Jiangsu province, a manufacturing powerhouse on China's eastern coast, plans to launch 20 such classes this year in artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing and modern services.东部制造业大省江苏，计划今年开设20个同类专项培训班，覆盖人工智能、先进制造、现代服务业领域。Vocational educators witness this academic-practical skill divide firsthand. Lu Weiyang, an instructor at a Guangzhou technician college that began offering one-year skills programs to graduates last year, sees the gap daily. Undergraduates arrive with theoretical knowledge but weak hands-on skills — a gap he considers bridgeable. They learn faster, he said, thanks to stronger self-learning and comprehension.职教一线教师直观感受到理论知识与实操能力之间的断层。广州一所技师学院自去年开设一年制毕业生技能专班，教师卢伟阳每天都能见到这类差距：本科生理论基础扎实，但动手实操薄弱，而这一短板完全可以通过培训补齐。他表示，本科生自学与理解能力更强，技能学习速度更快。"Students with an undergraduate background have the ability to extrapolate — they can deduce the next steps after a bit of guidance," he said.他说：“本科毕业生具备知识推演能力，稍加点拨就能举一反三，推导出后续操作流程。”Teaching such mixed cohorts — some with relevant degrees, others from unrelated fields — has required new approaches.培训班学员背景混杂，有人专业对口，有人跨专业转行，这倒逼院校创新教学模式。To accommodate these academically advanced learners, vocational institutions are revamping their teaching frameworks. Li Yang, vice-dean of the college's electromechanical equipment department, said the school has adopted custom modular courses tailored specifically for graduate retrainees.为适配高学历学员的学习特点，各职校重构教学体系。该院机电设备系副主任李阳介绍，学校专门为本科学历回炉学员定制模块化课程。"Modular training is like targeted driving test instruction — each module builds a specific practical skill," he said. Students work through separate skill blocks — electrical systems, pneumatics, installation, programming — at their own pace, focusing only on what they lack rather than repeating what they already know.他解释：“模块化培训类似驾照专项分项教学，每个模块对应一项独立实操技能。”学员分模块学习电气、气动、设备安装、编程等内容，可自主把控学习进度，只补自身短板，无需重复学习已掌握的知识。ntegrated model产教融合一体化培养模式In his speech at the 2024 study session of the Political Bureau, Xi emphasized the need for better integration of vocational and general education, industry and education, and science and education. He also highlighted the importance of allowing the market to play a decisive role in human resource allocation while ensuring that the government fulfills its supportive role.总书记在二十届中央政治局2024年集体学习讲话中强调，要推动职普融通、产教融合、科教融汇。同时要充分发挥市场在人力资源配置中的决定性作用，更好发挥政府扶持保障作用。Guangdong province, an industrial powerhouse, has emerged as a front-runner in implementing this integrated model.制造业大省广东是落地一体化培养模式的先行地区。By the end of last year, the province had built 171 industry-education-evaluation skill chains, partnering with leading companies, including Huawei, Tencent and BYD, to tailor vocational training curricula to real supply chain and industrial needs.截至去年年底，广东建成171条产教评技能产业链，联合华为、腾讯、比亚迪等龙头企业，依据产业链真实需求定制职业培训课程。For Li Shaochang, 29, a graduate of Guangzhou Electromechanical Technician College, the decision to enroll in a technician college was driven by market demand. Despite holding a degree in mold design and manufacturing from Tianjin University, one of China's most prestigious institutions, he spent five years outside his field. Observing the shift toward smart manufacturing and AI, he recognized the need for practical skills.29岁的李少昌毕业于广州机电技师学院，他选择入校学习完全出于市场需求考量。他本科就读顶尖学府天津大学模具设计与制造专业，却有五年时间从事无关行业。目睹智能制造、人工智能产业快速兴起后，他意识到实操技能不可或缺。"The technician college gives me extensive hands-on experience," he said. "That, combined with university training, is exactly what companies want."他表示：“技师学院能提供充足实操练习，再搭配大学打下的理论基础，正是企业最看重的复合能力。”The college's partnership with Guangzhou Jiafan Computer Co, an automation enterprise focused on smart manufacturing, gives students access to the same production line hardware used in the factory, with engineers teaching on campus. Li Shaochang's strong academic background earned him an early placement at Jiafan, where he joined an automated guided vehicle robotics team — a platform that combines a mobile chassis with a robotic arm for tasks like material handling and loading. His team leader was an engineer who had taught him at the college.学院与专注智能制造的自动化企业广州佳帆计算机公司深度合作，校内配备和工厂生产线同款设备，企业工程师驻校授课。李少昌凭借扎实理论基础提前入职佳帆，加入自动导引车机器人研发小组，该设备结合移动底盘与机械臂，可完成物料转运、装卸等作业，小组主管正是在校教过他的工程师。Zhang Kai, 37, holds a business administration degree from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and now oversees Jiafan's advanced skills training base. Speaking from both sides of the desk — as a manager and a student in the same program — he said the company screens for a willingness to learn and a desire for skills, not credentials.37岁的张凯拥有广东外语外贸大学工商管理学位，现任佳帆高级技能实训基地负责人。他既当过参训学员，如今又是企业管理者，他表示企业招人更看重学习意愿与实操能力，而非一纸文凭。"A bachelor's diploma shows you can handle exam pressure," he said. "But a degree plus real skills — that's where the real competitive edge lies."他说：“本科学历只能证明你具备应试学习能力，学历搭配过硬实操，才是真正的核心竞争力。”At the annual Central Economic Work Conference in December, Xi called for combining investment in physical assets with investment in human capital — a call that has since crystallized into the political catchphrase "investing in people", shorthand for upgrading the workforce through education, skills training, health and social adaptability.去年12月中央经济工作会议上，总书记提出统筹推进物质资本投入与人力资本投入，这一部署凝练为“投资于人”的重要提法，即通过教育、技能培训、健康保障、社会适应能力培育全面提升劳动者综合素养。Embodying that principle is Liu, the environmental design degree holder who enrolled at Qingdao Technicians College. He now earns more than double his previous salary, so his choice to build on his degree with vocational training has already paid off.前文提到的环境设计专业毕业生刘文浩正是这一理念的鲜活案例。如今他薪资较从前翻了一倍有余，依托学历补充职业技能的选择已经收获实实在在的回报。mismatch /ˌmɪsˈmætʃ/错配，供需失衡stagnation /stæɡˈneɪʃn/停滞，发展瓶颈modular /ˈmɒdjələ(r)/模块化的extrapolate /ɪkˈstræpəleɪt/推断，举一反三pneumatics /njuːˈmætɪks/气动技术curriculum /kəˈrɪkjələm/课程体系，教学大纲

New energy vehicles accounted for more than 60 percent of China's new vehicle sales for the first time in July, consolidating the segment's position as the main growth engine of the country's auto industry, latest industry data showed.最新行业数据显示，7月新能源汽车占中国新车销量的比重首次突破60%，巩固了其作为中国汽车产业主要增长引擎的地位。Data released by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers on Wednesday showed that NEV output reached 1.576 million units last month, up 26.8 percent year-on-year, while sales rose 23.7 percent to 1.561 million units, or 60.4 percent of total new vehicle sales.中国汽车工业协会8月12日发布的数据显示，上月新能源汽车产量达157.6万辆，同比增长26.8%；销量达156.1万辆，同比增长23.7%，占新车总销量的60.4%。The milestone is a wider indicator of growth than the passenger car retail gauges often cited in the market, as the association's tally covers passenger and commercial vehicles and includes sales at home and abroad, showing that NEVs now form the bulk of the industry's overall sales mix.这一里程碑比市场上常引用的乘用车零售数据更能反映整体增长态势，因为中汽协的统计涵盖乘用车和商用车，且包括国内外销量，显示出新能源汽车已成为行业总销量结构的主体。The record was accompanied by a second milestone. In the first seven months of this year, NEV output rose 9.5 percent year-on-year to 9.014 million units, while sales increased 9.6 percent to 9.007 million units.这一纪录伴随着第二个里程碑的到来。今年前7个月，新能源汽车产量同比增长9.5%，达901.4万辆；销量同比增长9.6%，达900.7万辆。NEVs accounted for 51.2 percent of total new vehicle sales during the period, the first time the cumulative share has exceeded 50 percent.同期，新能源汽车占新车总销量的51.2%，累计占比首次突破50%。By contrast, the auto market continued to show signs of weakness in July. Vehicle output and sales totaled 2.573 million and 2.584 million units, respectively, for the month, down 6.8 percent and 8 percent month-on-month and 0.7 percent and 0.3 percent year-on-year, respectively. In the first seven months of the year, both output and sales fell 3.7 percent year-on-year, although the declines narrowed from the first half of the year.相比之下，7月汽车市场继续显现疲软迹象。当月汽车产销量分别为257.3万辆和258.4万辆，环比分别下降6.8%和8%，同比分别下降0.7%和0.3%。今年前7个月，产销量同比均下降3.7%，但降幅较上半年有所收窄。Chen Shihua, deputy secretary-general of the CAAM, said the auto market entered its traditional low season in July. Store traffic and orders eased, while automakers' midyear sales drives brought some demand forward. Persistent heat, typhoons and flooding in some regions also weighed on showroom visits, contributing to the month-on-month decline, he said.中国汽车工业协会副秘书长陈士华表示，7月汽车市场进入传统淡季。门店客流量和订单量有所回落，车企年中冲量也提前释放了部分需求。持续高温、台风和部分地区洪涝灾害也对到店客流造成影响，导致环比下滑。Yet the shift in the industry's growth base remained intact. "The twin growth engines of NEVs and exports helped offset pressure from the domestic low season, while the industrial structure continued to improve," Chen said.不过，行业增长基础的结构性转变依然稳固。“新能源汽车和出口双引擎有效抵消了国内淡季压力，产业结构持续优化，”陈士华说。He added that new energy passenger vehicles in the 100,000 yuan ($14,830) to 200,000 yuan price range provided the main volume support in the first seven months.他补充说，今年前7个月，10万至20万元价格区间的新能源乘用车提供了主要销量支撑。Exports provided the other pillar of growth. CAAM data showed that in July alone, NEV exports jumped 145.5 percent year-on-year to 553,000 units, accounting for about 53 percent of China's 1.043 million vehicle exports. It was the second consecutive month in which NEVs accounted for more than half of the export total.出口是另一大增长支柱。中汽协数据显示，仅7月当月，新能源汽车出口同比大增145.5%，达55.3万辆，占中国104.3万辆汽车出口总量的约53%。这是新能源汽车出口占比连续第二个月超过一半。"Conventional fuel vehicles had long dominated China's auto exports, but the structure began to shift this year as NEVs increased their share in June and July, surpassing fuel vehicles for two consecutive months," Chen noted, adding that the rapid growth of vehicle exports could also help offset weak domestic demand.“传统燃油车长期以来一直主导中国汽车出口，但今年6月和7月新能源汽车占比连续两个月超越燃油车，出口结构开始发生变化，”陈士华指出。他还表示，汽车出口的快速增长也有助于抵消国内需求疲软的影响。Chen expects NEV exports to continue growing at a brisk pace and exceed 4 million units this year.陈士华预计，新能源汽车出口将继续保持强劲增长势头，今年有望超过400万辆。"With the world's most complete NEV industrial chain and a clear edge in intelligent technologies, the competitiveness of China's automobiles is expected to be further strengthened," he said.“凭借全球最完整的新能源汽车产业链和在智能技术方面的明显优势，中国汽车的竞争力有望进一步增强，”他说。segment /ˈseɡmənt/细分市场growth engine /ɡrəʊθ ˈendʒɪn/增长引擎milestone /ˈmaɪlstəʊn/里程碑tally /ˈtæli/统计bulk /bʌlk/主体，大部分weighed on /weɪd ɒn/对……造成压力，拖累offset /ˈɒfset/抵消

Shanghai is expanding overseas access to computing power and foundational artificial intelligence models to boost the city's trade in services, with a new plan setting a goal of increasing the sector's scale to more than $300 billion by 2030.上海正面向海外开放算力以及基础人工智能模型资源，以此拉动本市服务贸易；一份全新规划定下目标：2030年前服务贸易规模突破3000亿美元。Experts said that the move would help make AI a new growth driver and strengthen the city's role as a global trade in services hub.专家表示，该举措能够促使人工智能成为全新增长引擎，并巩固上海全球服务贸易枢纽的地位。On Monday, a plan to build Shanghai into a national demonstration zone for service trade innovation and development was unveiled.本周一，上海建设国家服务贸易创新发展示范区的规划正式对外公布。Jointly released by seven departments, including the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, the plan sets a goal of increasing the city's service trade volume to $270 billion by 2027 and surpassing $300 billion by 2030.该规划由上海市商务委员会等七个部门联合印发；计划提出，2027年上海服务贸易总额达到2700亿美元，2030年突破3000亿美元。The plan calls for the development of service trade related to the AI industry, attracting global companies and institutions to establish AI R&D centers, opensource platforms and joint laboratories in Shanghai, and building an open innovation ecosystem.规划提出发展人工智能产业相关服务贸易，吸引海内外企业与机构在沪设立人工智能研发中心、开源平台以及联合实验室，搭建开放式创新生态体系。Coordinated development协同发展Zhong Junhao, secretarygeneral of the Shanghai AI Industry Association, said that for the first time, the plan incorporates the coordinated development of the AI industry into the broader framework of a city's service trade development, marking the use of computing power as a new growth driver for the sector.上海市人工智能行业协会秘书长钟俊浩称，这份规划首次将人工智能产业协同发展纳入全市服务贸易发展的整体框架，标志着算力正式成为服务贸易全新增长动力。"Encouraging companies and institutions to establish AI R&D centers, opensource platforms and joint laboratories in Shanghai is essentially an openingup of both the import and international cooperation sides of trade in services," Zhong said.钟俊浩表示：“鼓励各类企业、机构落地上海搭建人工智能研发中心、开源平台、联合实验室，本质上是服务贸易在进口领域和国际合作层面的双向对外开放。”By bringing talent, code, research facilities and opensource communities to Shanghai, he said the city can create a platform connecting international institutions, multinational R&D units and local innovation communities within the same network.他谈到，通过集聚人才、程序代码、科研设施与开源社群，上海可打造一体化平台，连通国际机构、跨国企业研发部门以及本土创新社群。On July 16, 29 countries signed an agreement in Shanghai to establish the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization. Headquartered in Shanghai, the organization is officially positioned as an independent intergovernmental international body focusing on capacity building, alignment of rules and standards, application cooperation and global AI governance.7月16日，29个国家于上海签署协议，成立世界人工智能合作组织。该组织总部落户上海，定位为独立的政府间国际机构，主攻能力建设、规则标准对接、应用合作以及全球人工智能治理。The trade in services demonstration zone plan includes measures to accelerate headquarters development and explore governance, adding institutional support for Shanghai's international AI cooperation, Zhong said.钟俊浩介绍，这份服务贸易示范区方案含有加快总部经济建设、探索新型治理模式的多项举措，为上海开展人工智能国际合作提供制度保障。Complete ecosystem完备产业生态Addressing a news conference in July, Chen Jie, vicemayor of Shanghai, said, "Shanghai has now built a complete development ecosystem that integrates independent innovation, applicationdriven growth, open collaboration, ecological synergy and security governance."上海市副市长陈杰于7月的新闻发布会上发言：“上海现已建成集自主创新、应用牵引增长、开放协作、生态协同、安全治理于一体的完整发展生态。”According to him, Shanghai's 394 AI enterprises above the designated size, each with an annual revenue of at least 20 million yuan ($2.96 million), saw their combined industry scale exceed 637 billion yuan in 2025, a yearonyear increase of 39.5 percent, making AI a new growth driver for the city's economy.据其介绍，上海现有394家规模以上人工智能企业（年营收不低于2000万元，折合296万美元）；2025年产业总规模突破6370亿元，同比上涨39.5%，人工智能已然成为上海经济全新增长引擎。The plan outlines 27 key tasks across six areas, covering industrial and supply chain upgrading, innovation in new business models, stronger business competitiveness, more efficient supply, higherlevel openingup, and mechanisms to support both domestic and international development.该规划从六大方向部署27项重点任务，涵盖产业链供应链升级、新业态模式创新、增强企业竞争力、优化供给效能、高水平对外开放、搭建兼顾国内外发展的保障机制。Qi Xiaozhai, vicechairman of the Commerce Economy Association of China, said: "In the past, we placed greater emphasis on trade in goods than on trade in services, especially service exports. However, in recent years, service trade has grown much faster than goods trade. Last year, the value of service trade reached 8.08 trillion yuan, up 7.4 percent yearonyear, 3.6 percentage points higher than the growth rate of goods trade."中国商业经济学会副会长齐晓斋表示：“过去我国重货物贸易、轻服务贸易，尤其忽视服务出口。但近些年服务贸易增速远超货物贸易；去年我国服务贸易总额达8.08万亿元，同比增长7.4%，增速比货物贸易高出3.6个百分点。”"Domestic consumption of services, including catering, entertainment and leisure, has also grown faster than the consumption of goods. Against this backdrop, China has developed new advantages in service trade, particularly in emerging digital technologies such as AI, big data, cloud computing and blockchain," Qi added.齐晓斋补充道：“餐饮、文娱休闲等国内服务消费增速同样高于商品消费。在此背景之下，我国服务贸易培育出新优势，尤其在人工智能、大数据、云计算、区块链等新兴数字技术领域。”By 2035, China aims to establish around 35 demonstration zones with leading service trade scale, concentrated highend resources, strong innovation capabilities and significant regional influence, he said.他称，我国计划至2035年建成大约35处服务贸易示范区；示范区需要做到贸易规模领先、高端资源集聚、创新能力出众、区域辐射影响力强劲。The country will foster a number of internationally competitive service export enterprises and key service industry clusters, while forming a development pattern in which service trade, investment, consumption and industries are interconnected and mutually reinforcing, he added.他还提到，国家将培育一批具备国际竞争力的服务出口企业以及重点服务业产业集群，促成服务贸易、投资、消费、实体经济互联互通、相辅相成的发展格局。foundational /faʊnˈdeɪʃənl/基础的；根基性的intergovernmental /ˌɪntəɡʌvənˈmentl/政府间的cluster /ˈklʌstə(r)/产业集群，集聚片区

“I can live without a partner, but I must have a dazi.” This has become a kind of social manifesto for today‘s young people. From meal dazi and workout dazi to study dazi and travel dazi, a new form of lightweight socializing—known as “dazi socializing”—is spreading rapidly among young people. In this episode of CD Voice, we start with a striking statistic: over 70% of young respondents said they have a dazi in their life. We explore why this “precise companionship” has won over so many, and what it offers—and what it cannot replace. Dazi relationships occupy that delicate space between “friend” and “stranger.” They are both a way to lighten the burden of traditional, highcost socializing and a reflection of young people’s genuine need for companionship in an accelerating world. They are not a rejection of deep relationships—they are relationships that can grow.搭子当道：当代年轻人的社交新选择

China has ample room to introduce pro-consumption policies in the second half of the year, as consumer prices maintained a moderate overall increase in July, experts said.专家表示，由于7月居民消费价格总体保持温和上涨，中国在下半年推出促消费政策仍有充足空间。The country's consumer price index, a main gauge of inflation, rose 0.5 percent year-on-year last month, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, increased 0.9 percent year-on-year.国家统计局发布的数据显示，作为衡量通胀主要指标的居民消费价格指数（CPI）上月同比上涨0.5%。扣除食品和能源价格的核心CPI同比上涨0.9%。There is considerable room for pro-consumption policies in the second half of the year, and price factors in particular will not be a major constraint on the central bank's potential interest rate cuts, said Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst at Orient Golden Credit Rating International.东方金诚国际信用评估有限公司首席宏观分析师王青表示，下半年促消费政策仍有较大空间，尤其是物价因素不会对央行可能的降息形成明显制约。Wen Bin, chief economist at China Minsheng Bank, said he expects pro-consumption policies to be stepped up in the second half of the year, with summer vacations and the National Day holiday boosting prices in tourism, accommodation and catering services.中国民生银行首席经济学家温彬预计，下半年促消费政策将加大力度，暑假和国庆假期将带动旅游、住宿和餐饮服务价格上涨。Data show that industrial consumer goods excluding energy rose 1.5 percent year-on-year in July, slowing by 0.2 percentage points from a month earlier, contributing about 0.37 percentage points to the CPI growth.数据显示，7月扣除能源的工业消费品价格同比上涨1.5%，涨幅较上月回落0.2个百分点，对CPI涨幅贡献约0.37个百分点。Service prices increased 0.7 percent year-on-year, down by 0.1 percentage points from June, contributing about 0.36 percentage points to the CPI growth. Food prices fell 1.5 percent year-on-year, narrowing the decline by 0.1 percentage points from the previous month, dragging the CPI down by about 0.25 percentage points.服务价格同比上涨0.7%，涨幅较6月回落0.1个百分点，对CPI涨幅贡献约0.36个百分点。食品价格同比下降1.5%，降幅较上月收窄0.1个百分点，拖累CPI下降约0.25个百分点。On a month-on-month basis, the CPI edged down 0.1 percent in July, with the decline narrowing by 0.2 percentage points from the previous month.环比来看，7月CPI小幅下降0.1%，降幅较上月收窄0.2个百分点。NBS attributed the monthly decline to international market price fluctuations, which drove down domestic gasoline prices by 10.7 percent month-on-month, with the decline widening by 5.8 percentage points from June, pulling the CPI down by about 0.35 percentage points.国家统计局将环比下降归因于国际市场价格波动，导致国内汽油价格环比下降10.7%，降幅较6月扩大5.8个百分点，拉低CPI约0.35个百分点。Food prices remained flat month-on-month, 0.6 percentage points below the seasonal average. Service prices, which were flat in June, turned to a 0.4 percent monthly increase, pushing up the CPI by about 0.21 percentage points.食品价格环比持平，较季节性平均水平低0.6个百分点。服务价格由6月的持平转为环比上涨0.4%，推升CPI约0.21个百分点。The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee recently held a meeting on economic work. At the meeting, it was stressed that macro policies should be strengthened and more effective, disbursement of fiscal funds and bonds proceeds should be accelerated, and solid progress should be made in promoting large-scale equipment renewals and trade-ins of consumer goods.中共中央政治局近日召开经济工作会议。会议强调，宏观政策要更加有力有效，加快财政资金和债券资金拨付使用进度，扎实推进大规模设备更新和消费品以旧换新。The meeting also underscored the need to effectively expand domestic demand, increase the supply of quality goods and services in response to the consumption needs of different groups, and tap the potential of services consumption.会议还强调，要有效扩大国内需求，针对不同群体消费需求增加优质商品和服务供给，挖掘服务消费潜力。Local authorities have stepped up efforts to optimize trade-in policies. The southwestern city of Chongqing, for instance, has expanded its subsidy categories for home appliances and smart home products, covering nearly all aspects of daily life. Hunan province in Central China added 10 new categories to its trade-in program, including smart service robots, smart door locks, smart air purifiers and smart toilets.各地政府也在加大优化以旧换新政策的力度。例如，西南城市重庆已扩大家电和智能家居产品的补贴范围，几乎覆盖日常生活的方方面面。中部省份湖南在消费品以旧换新计划中新增了10个品类，包括智能服务机器人、智能门锁、智能空气净化器和智能马桶。NBS data also show that China's producer price index, which measures costs for goods at the factory gate, went up 3.5 percent year-on-year in July.国家统计局数据还显示，衡量工业品出厂价格的工业生产者出厂价格指数（PPI）7月同比上涨3.5%。Wen said that China's price trend is expected to improve further as domestic demand potential continues to be released and a lower comparison base comes into play.温彬表示，随着国内需求潜力持续释放以及低基数效应显现，中国物价走势有望进一步改善。"Although the transmission of PPI recovery to CPI will entail a lag, the equipment renewal and trade-in policies will gradually lift prices of durable consumer goods such as home appliances and automobiles," Wen added.他补充说：“尽管PPI回升向CPI传导存在一定滞后，但设备更新和以旧换新政策将逐步推高家电和汽车等耐用消费品的价格。”core CPI /kɔːr siː piː aɪ/核心CPIconstraint /kənˈstreɪnt/制约因素interest rate cuts /ˈɪntrəst reɪt kʌts/降息industrial consumer goods /ɪnˈdʌstriəl kənˈsjuːmə ɡʊdz/工业消费品contributing /kənˈtrɪbjuːtɪŋ/贡献（拉动）dragging down /ˈdræɡɪŋ daʊn/拖累month-on-month /mʌnθ ɒn mʌnθ/环比edge down /edʒ daʊn/小幅下降

Former premier Zhu Rongji passed away in Beijing on Wednesday. He was 98.Zhu, who had served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 14th and 15th Central Committees of the Communist Party of China, died of illness, according to an official obituary.The obituary was jointly issued by the CPC Central Committee; the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature; the State Council, China's Cabinet; and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top political advisory body.It extolled Zhu as an excellent Party member, a time-tested and loyal communist fighter, and an outstanding proletarian revolutionist, statesman and leader of the Party and the State.Born in October 1928 in Changsha, Hunan province, Zhu joined revolutionary work in December 1948 and became a CPC member in October 1949.Between 1987 and 1991, he served successively as deputy secretary of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee, mayor of Shanghai, and secretary of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee.During his tenure, he advocated for adjusting the city's industrial structure, developing an export-oriented economy and enhancing its international competitiveness.Zhu played a crucial role in advancing the development and opening-up of Shanghai's Pudong New Area. His efforts laid a solid foundation for Shanghai's further reform, opening-up and development, the obituary said.In 1991, Zhu was appointed vice-premier of the State Council.In October 1992, he was elected a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and its standing committee, and he was responsible for the executive work of the State Council.In June 1993, he concurrently served as the governor of the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank.Zhu studied and developed approaches and measures to strengthen and improve macroeconomic regulation, making significant and effective contributions to curbing an overheated economy, reining in inflation and achieving an economic "soft landing".He pushed forward efforts to rectify and restore order in the fiscal and taxation sectors, accelerated fiscal and tax reforms and helped improve China's financial regulation system.In September 1997, Zhu was reelected a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and its standing committee.In March 1998, he was appointed premier of the State Council, and he later served as the secretary of the leading Party members group of the State Council.Facing the impact of the Asian financial crisis and the catastrophic flooding in China, Zhu focused on a shift from implementing a moderately tight fiscal and monetary policy to adopting a proactive fiscal policy and a prudent monetary policy, expanding domestic demand and deepening reforms in key areas, thereby maintaining steady and rapid economic growth.During Zhu's tenure as vice-premier and premier of the State Council, a series of policies and measures were adopted to expand opening-up, encourage exports, keep the renminbi exchange rate stable without devaluation, attract foreign investment, and firmly safeguard the prosperity and stability of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as an international financial center.He also presided over the implementation of major reforms in the social security system, healthcare system, and investment and financing system, among others, promoting the establishment of the basic framework of a socialist market economy.He oversaw the completion of the arduous negotiations for China's accession to the World Trade Organization.In March 2003, Zhu no longer served as premier of the State Council. After retiring from leadership posts, he steadfastly upheld and supported the leadership of the CPC Central Committee.He continued to care about the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and firmly supported efforts to improve conduct, promote integrity and fight corruption.Zhu's life was a revolutionary, fighting and glorious one, and one that was dedicated to wholeheartedly serving the people and the communist cause, the obituary said, adding that his death is a great loss to the Party and the State.

Heavy rain continued to batter parts of central and eastern China on Wednesday as the remnants of Typhoon Dolphin combined with other weather systems, prompting authorities to maintain orange alerts for torrential rain and geological disasters.8月12日，台风“白海豚”残余云系与其他天气系统共同影响，持续侵袭中国中东部部分地区，促使有关部门维持暴雨和地质灾害橙色预警。The National Meteorological Center on Wednesday renewed an orange alert for heavy rain, the country's second-highest warning level, forecasting heavy to torrential rain from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon in parts of Henan, Hubei, Anhui, Zhejiang, Shandong and Hebei provinces, as well as Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin.中央气象台8月12日继续发布暴雨橙色预警——这是国内第二高级别的预警等级，预计8月12日下午至8月13日下午，河南、湖北、安徽、浙江、山东、河北等省以及上海、北京、天津的部分地区将出现大到暴雨。Parts of western and central Henan along mountain areas could see exceptionally heavy rainfall of 250 to 280 millimeters.河南西部和中部沿山地区可能出现250至280毫米的极端强降雨。The rain is expected to be accompanied by short-duration intense rainfall, with hourly precipitation of 20 to 50 mm and locally more than 80 mm, as well as thunderstorms and strong winds in some areas.预计降雨将伴有短时强降水，小时雨量20至50毫米，局地可达80毫米以上，部分地区还将出现雷暴和大风天气。The Ministry of Natural Resources and the China Meteorological Administration jointly issued an orange alert for meteorological risks of geological disasters at 8 am Wednesday.自然资源部与中国气象局于8月12日上午8时联合发布地质灾害气象风险橙色预警。From Wednesday to Thursday, parts of Beijing, Hebei, Zhejiang, Henan and Hubei face high risks of rainfall-triggered geological disasters.8月12日至8月13日，北京、河北、浙江、河南和湖北的部分地区面临降雨引发地质灾害的高风险。Local governments and relevant departments are urged to implement emergency plans and strengthen monitoring and prevention measures.有关部门敦促地方政府和相关部门启动应急预案，加强监测和防范措施。People in areas under orange geological disaster alerts who are threatened by known hazards or high-risk zones should evacuate promptly to designated shelters when instructed by local authorities.处于地质灾害橙色预警区域、受到已知隐患点或高风险区威胁的群众，应按照当地政府指令，及时撤离至指定安置点。thunderstorms /ˈθʌndəstɔːmz/雷暴meteorological risks /ˌmiːtiərəˈlɒdʒɪkəl rɪsks/气象风险emergency plans /ɪˈmɜːdʒənsi plænz/应急预案monitoring and prevention measures /ˈmɒnɪtərɪŋ ənd prɪˈvenʃən ˈmeʒəz/监测和防范措施evacuate /ɪˈvækjueɪt/撤离

Various measures have been taken to confront risks of landslides, urban waterlogging and reservoir dam breaches as Typhoon Dolphin brought heavy rain and strong winds to Central and North China on Tuesday.周二，台风“白海豚”给我国华中、华北地区带来强降雨与大风天气，各地已采取多项举措，防范山体滑坡、城市内涝、水库溃坝风险。After the typhoon, the 13th of this year, made landfall in East China's Zhejiang province on Sunday, it moved west to Central China's Hubei province on Tuesday.今年第13号台风于周日在华东浙江省登陆，随后向西移动，周二抵达华中湖北省。Gales from level 7 to 10 and above brought by the typhoon have affected the province since Monday. Dolphin also brought heavy rain in cities such as Suizhou and Xiangyang during the period, with torrential downpours in some areas.自周一以来，台风带来7至10级及以上大风侵袭湖北。与此同时，随州、襄阳等城市普降大雨，局部地区出现暴雨。The rain is expected to continue until Wednesday morning and ease markedly by the same afternoon, according to Chen Xuan, chief forecaster of the Hubei meteorological observatory.湖北省气象台首席预报员陈璇介绍，降雨将持续至周三上午，周三下午雨势将明显减弱。"Long spells of rainfall will bring substantial accumulated precipitation. There are elevated risks of geological disasters, river floods and waterlogging in urban and rural areas, which need strengthened precautions," Chen said.“持续性降雨将造成累计雨量偏大，城乡区域地质灾害、江河洪水、内涝风险升高，需要加强防范。”陈璇表示。Starting at 8 pm on Monday, strong winds and rain swept through Xiangyang, and by 3 pm on Tuesday, the city-wide average rainfall hit 46 millimeters. The municipal flood-control headquarters activated the Level III flood-control emergency response.周一晚间8时起，大风暴雨侵袭襄阳。截至周二下午3时，全市平均降雨量达到46毫米。市防汛指挥部启动防汛Ⅲ级应急响应。Due to heavy rainfall in upstream areas, several rivers and urban drainage ditches have seen water levels rise. By 3 pm on Tuesday, about 10,000 people had been moved to safe areas, including those living along the rivers, according to local authorities.受上游强降雨影响，多条河流、城市排涝沟渠水位上涨。当地部门消息，截至周二15时，约一万名沿河居民转移至安全区域。Fifty-eight reservoirs had exceeded their flood-season limit as of 3 pm on Tuesday with the highest at 0.59 meters, and all below their designed flood level. Their water release gates have been kept fully open to drain water and bring reservoir levels down.截至周二下午3时，58座水库水位超汛限水位，最高超出0.59米，但全部尚未到达设计洪水位。水库泄洪闸门全开，持续泄洪以降低水位。Disaster relief materials such as tarpaulin coverings, excavators and sandstone materials have been prepared in advance.篷布、挖掘机、砂石料等救灾物资已提前储备到位。Relying on a digital platform, government workers monitor real-time conditions of major waterlogging-prone spots in downtown areas for quick response. For example, the platform detected water exceeding the safety limit at a culvert on Tuesday morning. Municipal workers were dispatched immediately for on-site handling.工作人员依托数字化平台，实时监控城区重点易涝点位，实现快速处置。例如，平台周二上午监测到一处涵洞积水超限，市政人员立刻赶赴现场处理。Across Hubei province, 27,800 emergency response personnel and 16,400 sets of rescue equipment have been deployed in advance in key areas affected by the typhoon such as Xiangyang, Shiyan, Huanggang and Suizhou.湖北省已在襄阳、十堰、黄冈、随州等台风影响重点区域提前部署27800名应急人员、16400台（套）救援装备。As of Tuesday noon, 25,478 people had been relocated. More than 4,500 tourist attractions, construction sites, factories and mines were closed, according to the provincial flood control and drought relief headquarters on Tuesday afternoon.省防汛抗旱指挥部周二下午通报，截至周二中午，累计转移群众25478人，4500余处景区、建筑工地、厂矿关停。With the rain belt moving further northward, the National Meteorological Center forecasts that from Tuesday to Thursday, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region in northern China will experience heavy rainfall.随着雨带继续北上，中央气象台预报，周二至周四，华北京津冀地区将迎来强降雨。Beijing activated a Level II flood-control emergency response at 9 am on Tuesday. Most parts of the city are expected to receive more than 100 millimeters of rain within six hours and over 150 mm within 24 hours from Tuesday evening, according to the Beijing meteorological service.北京于周二上午9时启动防汛Ⅱ级应急响应。北京市气象台预报，周二晚间起，北京大部分地区6小时降雨量超100毫米，24小时累计降雨量超150毫米。The public has been advised to suspend outdoor activities involving mountains and water, avoid low-lying areas when traveling, and take protective measures for underground spaces.官方提醒市民暂停涉水、涉山户外活动，出行避开低洼地带，并对地下空间做好防护。The nearby Hebei province issued a meteorological risk alert for mountain-flood disasters at 11 am on Tuesday.邻省河北于周二上午11时发布山洪灾害气象风险预警。At noon the same day, a meteorological early warning for geological hazards was also released, saying that between 2 pm on Tuesday and 2 pm on Wednesday, there is a high risk of collapses, landslides, mud-rock flows and other geological disasters in cities such as Baoding, Zhangjiakou, Handan and Shijiazhuang.同日中午，当地再发布地质灾害气象预警：周二14时至周三14时，保定、张家口、邯郸、石家庄等地发生崩塌、滑坡、泥石流等地质灾害风险较高。Relevant authorities dispatched 623 teams to mountain areas across the province. Focused on densely populated zones, the teams carried out emergency inspections for geological hazards, Hebei Daily reported.《河北日报》消息，相关部门派出623支队伍深入省内山区，重点针对人口密集区域开展地质灾害隐患紧急巡查。Meanwhile, Hebei has equipped all 2,136 villages under threat with satellite phones or Beidou short-message terminals to guarantee unobstructed communications. Evacuation of residents was also in the plan based on conditions, it said.同时，河北为受威胁的2136个村庄配齐卫星电话或北斗短报文终端，保障通信畅通，并根据实际情况安排群众转移。Heavy rain was also forecast across a broad swath of the country through Wednesday night.

Eighty-one years ago, Nagasaki was erased in a blinding flash, with 74,000 victims incinerated by a weapon that should have been the last.八十一年前，一道刺目的强光将长崎从地图上抹去，7.4万人被这枚"本应是最后一颗"的原子弹瞬间吞噬。Three days earlier, Hiroshima had suffered the same fate.三天前，广岛已遭受了同样的命运。During those three days, Japanese militarists kept insisting that people sacrifice themselves for the "glorious Empire of Japan".在那三天里，日本军国主义者仍在一味要求民众为所谓"光荣的大日本帝国"牺牲性命。The destruction of Nagasaki finally shattered that dangerous faith and forced Japan's unconditional surrender to the Allied Powers six days later.长崎的毁灭最终击碎了这一危险信念，六天后，日本被迫向同盟国无条件投降。Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made it clear at the Hiroshima memorial ceremony on Thursday and again at the Nagasaki memorial ceremony on Sunday that the country's neo-militarists have learned nothing from the horrors of the bombings.日本首相高市早苗8月6日在广岛悼念仪式上、8月9日在长崎悼念仪式上的表现均已清楚表明，该国新军国主义势力并未从原爆的惨痛历史中汲取任何教训。At Nagasaki's Peace Park, the city's mayor, Shiro Suzuki, called nuclear weapons an "absolute evil".在长崎和平公园，该市市长铃木史朗将核武器称为"绝对的邪恶"。Yet, standing just a few feet away, Takaichi offered only deliberate ambiguity over whether her government will abide by the Three Non-Nuclear Principles.然而，站在仅几步之遥的高市，对其政府是否将恪守"无核三原则"却故意含糊其辞。Japan already operates under the protection of the United States' nuclear umbrella.日本本已处于美国核保护伞的庇护之下。To invoke a purported "external threat" as a rationale for acquiring an independent nuclear deterrent is hardly the "realistic and pragmatic approach" Takaichi describes — rather, it lays bare the unmistakable ambitions of the country's neo-militarist faction.以所谓"外部威胁"为借口谋求独立核威慑力量，绝非高市所标榜的"现实而务实的做法"，恰恰相反，这暴露出该国新军国主义势力毫不掩饰的野心。Takaichi will not say she intends to revise the principles, but neither will she promise to preserve them.高市既不明确表示要修改这些原则，也不承诺将予以坚守。She speaks only of current policy, deliberately leaving the future open to interpretation.她只谈及当下的政策，却故意为未来留下模糊的解释空间。This is the slow-motion dismantling of a commitment that has defined postwar Japan.这是在以慢镜头般的方式，逐步瓦解这一定义了战后日本的庄严承诺。The hypocrisy is staggering.这种虚伪令人瞠目。Here is a prime minister attending the memorials for victims of nuclear hellfire, surrounded by aging hibakusha, victims of atomic destruction — whose average age is over 86 — yet she will not reaffirm the principles these survivors have defended for decades.这位首相出席了悼念核爆炼狱死难者的仪式，身边环绕着平均年龄已超过86岁、饱经原子弹摧残的年迈"被爆者"，但她却不肯重申这些幸存者数十年来所捍卫的原则。When the hibakusha protest her stance on "nuclear sharing" with the US, and when a record 128 local assemblies urge her government to uphold the three principles, her response is little more than a verbal shrug.当"被爆者"们抗议她在对美"核共享"问题上的立场，当创纪录的128个地方议会敦促其政府恪守"无核三原则"时，她的回应也不过是敷衍搪塞、不以为意。No wonder Moscow called Japan's nuclear memorial act hypocritical — Takaichi equivocates on the non-nuclear principles while refusing to even ask why the bombs fell on Japan.难怪莫斯科方面称日本的核纪念活动充满虚伪——高市在"无核原则"问题上闪烁其词，却连原子弹为何会落在日本这一根本问题都不愿追问。The "realism" that Takaichi invokes is increasingly aligned with the right-wing's neo-militarist ambitions.高市所标榜的"现实主义"，正日益与右翼势力的新军国主义野心趋于一致。For Japan's remilitarization, "reality" means expanding military capabilities and deepening reliance on the alliance with the US.对日本的重新军事化而言，所谓"现实"，意味着扩充军事能力、深化对美同盟的依赖。"Pragmatism" means leveraging Washington's desire for a more heavily armed Japan and stronger Asia-Pacific ally to create political space for nuclear ambiguity.所谓"务实"，则意味着利用华盛顿希望日本加强武装、成为更强大亚太盟友的意愿，为核问题上的模糊立场争取政治空间。Should we call this the Atomic Stockholm Syndrome?我们是否应将此称为"原子弹斯德哥尔摩综合征"？Japan, the only country ever atom-bombed, now flirts with nuclear weapons under "extended deterrence".作为全球唯一遭受过原子弹轰炸的国家，日本如今却在"延伸威慑"的名义下与核武器眉来眼去。The US umbrella is a crutch, and Takaichi wants Japan to lean on it rather than lean on peace.美国的核保护伞是一根拐杖，而高市希望日本依赖的是这根拐杖，而非依靠和平本身。Tokyo refuses to sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, calling it "ineffective" to address its "security concerns".东京拒绝签署《禁止核武器条约》，声称该条约"无法有效"回应其所谓"安全关切"。Japan is in the unique position to be the moral voice for the abolition of nuclear weapons; but obligation requires clarity of conviction.日本本处于一个独特的位置，能够成为呼吁废除核武器的道义之声；但要担此责任，首先需要立场坚定、旗帜鲜明。Takaichi has offered nothing but ambiguity.而高市所给出的，唯有含糊其辞。She does not need to formally rewrite the three principles.她并不需要正式改写"无核三原则"。They can be diluted through reinterpretation, administrative decisions and incremental policy changes.只需通过重新解释、行政决定以及渐进式的政策调整，这些原则便可被逐步稀释、掏空。If Washington looks the other way because it wants a more militarized Japan as part of its regional strategy, alliance politics could easily overwhelm international objections.若华盛顿出于将一个更加军事化的日本纳入其地区战略的考量而对此视而不见，那么同盟政治便极有可能轻易压倒国际社会的反对声音。What is at stake, therefore, is more than Japan's military posture.因此，这场博弈所关乎的，远不止日本的军事姿态。It is Japan's historical identity and regional stability.更关乎日本的历史身份认同，以及地区的和平与稳定。Eighty-one years after Fat Man fell on Nagasaki, Takaichi stood in Peace Park and blurred the edges of a promise generations of Japanese have held sacred."胖子"原子弹投下长崎八十一年后，高市站在和平公园里，却让这份被一代代日本人奉若神圣的承诺，边界变得模糊不清。The city's mayor was right: Nuclear deterrence does not eliminate the risk of catastrophe; it institutionalizes it.长崎市长所言不虚：核威慑并不能消除灾难的风险，它只是将这种风险制度化了。The Takaichi government is intent on "honoring" the dead by placing their descendants under the shadow of the same weapons that destroyed them.高市政府所谓的"告慰"逝者，实则是让逝者的后代继续笼罩在当年那种毁灭性武器的阴影之下。When the last hibakusha is gone, what will remain of their plea?当最后一位"被爆者"离世，他们的呼声还将留下什么？A prime minister who could not bring herself to unequivocally declare: "I promise to uphold the Three Non-Nuclear Principles".恐怕只剩下一位始终无法斩钉截铁地宣告"我承诺恪守无核三原则"的首相。That is not realism.这不是什么现实主义。It is a betrayal of history.这是对历史的背叛。incinerate /ɪnˈsɪnəreɪt/ v.焚烧殆尽，烧成灰烬militarist /ˈmɪlɪtərɪst/ n.军国主义者unconditional surrender /ˌʌnkənˈdɪʃənəl səˈrendər/ n.无条件投降memorial ceremony /məˈmɔːriəlˈserəmoʊni/ n.悼念仪式，纪念仪式neo-militarist /ˌniːoʊˈmɪlɪtərɪst/ n.新军国主义者absolute evil /ˈæbsəluːtˈiːvəl/ n.绝对的邪恶deliberate ambiguity /dɪˈlɪbərətˌæmbɪˈɡjuːəti/ n.刻意的含糊其辞nuclear deterrent /ˈnuːkliər dɪˈtɜːrənt/ n.核威慑（力量）neo-militarist faction /ˌniːoʊˈmɪlɪtərɪstˈfækʃən/ n.新军国主义派系

Chinese humanoid robot maker Unitree Robotics opened subscriptions for its initial public offering on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's sci-tech innovation board, or STAR Market, on Monday, as the market witnessed a broader economic shift with future industries expected to power the country's next wave of economic growth.8月10日中国人形机器人制造商宇树科技在上海证券交易所科创板启动新股认购，此举正值中国经济迎来更广泛的转型，未来产业有望成为驱动国家新一轮经济增长的重要引擎。President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said in an article published in June in the Qiushi Journal, a flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee, that cultivating and developing future industries are of great significance for seizing the development initiative, developing new quality productive forces and improving people's quality of life.中共中央总书记、国家主席习近平在中共中央机关刊物《求是》杂志6月刊发的文章中指出，培育和发展未来产业，对于抢占发展主动权、发展新质生产力、提高人民生活品质具有重大意义。Efforts should be made to vigorously foster first-class scientific, technological and high-tech enterprises that excel in core technologies and possess strong innovation capacities, Xi said.习近平指出，要大力培育掌握核心技术、创新能力强的一流科技型高新技术企业。For decades, China's economic expansion was powered largely by traditional industries, infrastructure investment and manufacturing scale.数十年来，中国经济增长主要依靠传统产业、基础设施投资和制造业规模驱动。But the next wave of growth is increasingly expected to come from future industries, including embodied intelligence, future energy, quantum technology, brain-computer interfaces and 6G, which have been highlighted as key areas in China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30).但下一轮增长动能正日益转向未来产业，包括具身智能、未来能源、量子科技、脑机接口和6G等，这些领域已被列为"十五五"规划（2026年至2030年）的重点方向。Since leading semiconductor firm ChangXin Memory Technologies debuted on the STAR Market in late July, a number of companies including artificial intelligence chip developer Enflame Technology, semiconductor manufacturer Can-Semi Technology, commercial rocket maker LandSpace and AI chip company Kunlunxin have been moving toward potential listings.自领先半导体企业长鑫存储7月下旬在科创板上市以来，人工智能芯片研发商燧原科技、半导体制造商积塔半导体、商业火箭企业蓝箭航天以及人工智能芯片企业昆仑芯等多家企业也在积极推进上市进程。Behind the wave of listings is not just a reshuffle of capital market preferences, but a transformation in the sources of future economic growth.这波上市潮的背后，不仅是资本市场偏好的重新洗牌，更是未来经济增长动能来源的深刻转变。Hu Yongjun, secretary-general of future industries and platform economy research center under the State Information Center, said: "Developing future industries is a key move in driving industrial transformation and upgrade. Technologies that appear to be in an exploratory stage today could become engines of economic growth over the next decade or more."国家信息中心未来产业与平台经济研究中心秘书长胡拥军表示："发展未来产业是推动产业转型升级的关键举措。今天看似仍处于探索阶段的技术，未来十年乃至更长时间里可能成为经济增长的引擎。"He said that future industries will fuel China's economic growth through new trillion-yuan-level industries that will come about as emerging technologies transform into commercial applications, and traditional industries are upgraded by integrating technologies such as AI, digitalization and low-carbon solutions.他表示，随着新兴技术加快向商业化应用转化，以及人工智能、数字化、低碳等技术与传统产业深度融合、推动其转型升级，未来产业将通过催生新的万亿级产业，为中国经济增长注入新动能。"More importantly, future industries are not simply about developing several new products. They could accelerate upgrades across an entire industrial chain, from core components to end-user applications," he said.他说："更重要的是，未来产业并非仅仅是研发几款新产品，而是能够带动从核心零部件到终端应用的整条产业链加速升级。"A humanoid robot illustrates this ecosystem effect.一台人形机器人便是这种生态带动效应的生动例证Behind a single robot are dozens of interconnected sectors, including AI models, chips, sensors, precision reducers, motors, batteries, new materials, industrial software and intelligent manufacturing equipment.一台机器人的背后，牵动着数十个相互关联的产业领域，涵盖人工智能大模型、芯片、传感器、精密减速器、电机、电池、新材料、工业软件以及智能制造装备等。China's electric vehicle industry offers a similar example.中国电动汽车产业也提供了类似的例证。Over the past decade, the rise of new energy vehicles has reshaped the global auto industry while driving rapid growth in power batteries, energy storage materials, intelligent driving technologies and automotive chips.过去十年间，新能源汽车的崛起重塑了全球汽车产业格局，同时带动动力电池、储能材料、智能驾驶技术和车规级芯片实现快速增长。In addition, the Unitree IPO and other upcoming listings represent a broader reallocation of capital toward technologies that may require years of investment before generating large-scale commercial returns.此外，宇树科技上市及其他即将登陆资本市场的企业，也反映出资本正更广泛地流向那些可能需要多年投入才能实现规模化商业回报的技术领域。Xi also stressed efforts to improve fiscal and taxation policies, vigorously develop technology finance, and optimize government procurement and talent cultivation, introduction and utilization to foster a robust environment that encourages innovation.习近平还强调，要完善财税政策，大力发展科技金融，优化政府采购，做好人才培养、引进和使用工作，营造鼓励创新的良好环境。Tian Xuan, dean of Peking University's Guanghua School of Management, said: "China is transiting from factor-driven growth toward innovation-driven development. Capital is moving beyond its traditional role of financing capacity expansion in mature industries and increasingly taking on the earlier-stage, longer-term uncertainty involved in building future industries."北京大学光华管理学院院长田轩表示："中国正从要素驱动型增长向创新驱动型发展转变。资本正超越以往为成熟产业产能扩张融资的传统角色，日益承担起培育未来产业过程中早期、长周期不确定性的风险。"As of June 2026, the STAR Market had attracted 609 hard technology companies, with total funds raised through IPOs and refinancing exceeding 1.37 trillion yuan ($203 billion).截至2026年6月，科创板已吸引609家硬科技企业上市，通过首次公开募股及再融资累计筹资超过1.37万亿元人民币（约合2030亿美元）。More than 40 listed companies on the market have also entered cutting-edge fields such as quantum technology, 6G and biomanufacturing.科创板上市公司中，已有40余家企业布局量子科技、6G和生物制造等前沿领域。The China Securities Regulatory Commission has also introduced a regular "green channel" mechanism for IPO financing and mergers and acquisitions involving technology companies in strategically important core technology areas.中国证券监督管理委员会还针对掌握战略性核心技术的科技企业，建立了常态化的首次公开募股融资及并购重组"绿色通道"机制。For instance, Unitree Robotics moved rapidly through the listing process, taking less than four months to go from the application acceptance stage to approval, marking the fastest review under the STAR Market's preliminary review mechanism since its implementation.以宇树科技为例，其上市进程推进迅速，从申报受理到审核通过历时不足四个月，创下科创板预先审阅机制实施以来的最快审核纪录。"Amid the rapid development of AI, rising geopolitical tensions and a growing emphasis on strategic security, China needs to build a financial system better aligned with the development of new quality productive forces," Tian said.田轩表示："在人工智能快速发展、地缘政治紧张局势加剧、战略安全日益受到重视的背景下，中国需要构建一个与新质生产力发展更加适配的金融体系。""This requires expanding the supply of patient capital, improving market structures, enhancing policy predictability and reducing resource misallocation, thereby providing sustained and solid financial support for innovation," he added.他补充说："这需要扩大耐心资本供给，完善市场结构，增强政策可预期性，减少资源错配，从而为创新提供持续而坚实的金融支撑。"quantum technology /ˈkwɒntəm tekˈnɒlədʒi/ n.量子科技brain-computer interface /breɪn kəmˈpjuːtər ˈɪntərfeɪs/ n.脑机接口semiconductor /ˌsemikənˈdʌktər/ n.半导体reshuffle /riːˈʃʌfəl/ n./v.重新洗牌，调整secretary-general /ˈsekrətəri ˈdʒenərəl/ n.秘书长trillion-yuan-level /ˈtrɪljən juˈɑːn ˈlevəl/ adj.万亿元级的digitalization /ˌdɪdʒɪtəlaɪˈzeɪʃən/ n.数字化low-carbon /loʊ ˈkɑːrbən/ adj.低碳的industrial chain /ɪnˈdʌstriəl tʃeɪn/ n.产业链precision reducer /prɪˈsɪʒən rɪˈduːsər/ n.精密减速器

Typhoon Dolphin has weakened to a tropical storm after making two landfalls in eastern China's Zhejiang province, but its moisture‑rich circulation is continuing to move northwestward, threatening to unleash potentially extreme rainfall across parts of northern China, meteorologists said on Monday.周一，气象部门表示，台风白海豚在中国东部浙江省两次登陆后已减弱为热带风暴，但其水汽充沛的环流仍在向西北方向移动，或将给中国北方部分地区带来极端强降雨天眼新闻。Dolphin, the 13th typhoon of the year, made two landfalls in Zhejiang on Sunday evening and weakened as it moved inland. But unlike many tropical cyclones that rapidly dissipate after landfall, its extensive cloud system and abundant moisture have allowed its remnants to persist and move northward and westward, said Zhang Fanghua, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center.国家气象中心首席预报员张芳华表示，今年第 13 号台风白海豚于周日晚间在浙江两次登陆，深入内陆后强度减弱。但和许多登陆后迅速消散的热带气旋不同，该台风庞大的云系与充沛水汽使其残余环流得以维持，并向西北方向移动。"The residual circulation could bring persistent and extreme rainfall to parts of eastern and northern China," Zhang said.张芳华称：“残余环流可能给我国东部、北方部分地区带来持续性极端强降雨。”Dolphin's movement is forecast to significantly slow after Tuesday, and around Wednesday its remnants could stall near the border area of Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces.预报显示，白海豚周二之后移动速度将大幅放缓，其残余环流或将在周三前后停滞于湖北、河南、安徽三省交界一带。The residual vortex is expected to interact with an upper‑level trough in the westerlies and a cold‑air system, potentially triggering a new round of widespread and heavy rainfall, Zhang added.张芳华补充道，残余涡旋将与西风带高空槽以及冷空气系统相互作用，有可能引发新一轮大范围强降雨。The heavy rain will cover much of Shanghai as well as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Henan and Shandong provinces through Tuesday.截至周二，强降雨将波及上海大部以及浙江、江苏、安徽、湖北、河南、山东多地。As the rain belt moves northward on Tuesday and Wednesday, some locations in Henan, Hebei, and Shanxi could receive 400 to 600 millimeters of rain, with the possibility of exceptionally heavy downpours.随着雨带于周二、周三北移，河南、河北、山西部分地区累计降雨量可达 400‑600 毫米，或将出现特大暴雨。Meteorologists warned that the threat will also extend into the Beijing‑Tianjin‑Hebei region.气象专家警示，降雨威胁还将波及京津冀地区。Zhai Liang, chief forecaster at the Beijing Meteorological Service, said that warm and humid air from Dolphin's outer circulation, combined with cold air, is expected to bring heavy rain to the region from Tuesday through Thursday.北京市气象局首席预报员翟亮表示，台风白海豚外围环流输送的暖湿气流叠加冷空气，预计将于周二至周四给京津冀带来强降雨。"Beijing is expected to receive the strongest rainfall from early Wednesday to Wednesday night," Zhai said, adding that red alerts for heavy rain have been issued in districts such as Fangshan, Daxing, Tongzhou and Mentougou.翟亮说：“北京最强降雨时段预计为周三凌晨至周三夜间。” 他介绍，房山、大兴、通州、门头沟等区已发布暴雨红色预警。On Monday, the National Meteorological Center continued to issue an orange alert for heavy rain, the second‑highest warning level. Isolated areas in northern Hubei could receive 250 to 270 mm during the 24‑hour period between Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon.国家气象中心周一继续发布暴雨橙色预警，这是第二高级别的预警。周一下午至周二下午的 24 小时内，湖北北部局地降雨量可达 250‑270 毫米。The Ministry of Emergency Management has activated a Level IV flood‑control emergency response in Hebei, Henan, Hubei and Shandong amid rising risks of flooding and geological disasters over the next three days. China has a four‑tier emergency response system for flood control, with Level I being the most severe.未来三天洪涝、地质灾害风险升高，应急管理部针对河北、河南、湖北、山东启动防汛四级应急响应。我国防汛应急响应分为四级，一级为最高级别。Local governments are being urged to closely monitor updated weather forecasts and strengthen preparations for flooding, landslides, mudslides and urban waterlogging, particularly in mountainous areas and along rivers.相关方面督促地方政府密切跟踪气象预报更新，做好洪涝、山体滑坡、泥石流、城市内涝防范工作，山区、沿河区域需重点防范。The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on Monday renewed a warning over the risk of farmland waterlogging. From Monday night through Saturday, parts of Henan could see exceptionally heavy rain, with a very high risk of farmland waterlogging. The prolonged rainfall could leave farmland saturated and affect crop growth.农业农村部周一再次发布农田渍涝风险预警。周一夜间至周六，河南部分地区将遭遇特大暴雨，农田渍涝风险极高。持续降雨会造成农田土壤过湿饱和，影响作物生长。Farmers are advised to clear drainage channels, as well as prepare pumps and other equipment and supplies in advance. After the rain, farmers should promptly drain excess water, improve soil aeration and moisture conditions, and use pesticides and fertilizers to help crops recover and resume their growth.建议农户疏通排水渠道，提前备好水泵等物资设备。降雨过后，农户应及时排涝，改善土壤通气与墒情，施用农药化肥助力作物恢复生长。After Thursday, the rainfall pattern is expected to shift as the residual vortex gradually moves eastward and southward, forecasters said. If the residual vortex redevelops around Aug 16, it could bring another round of heavy rainfall to northeastern China, they added.预报人员表示，周四以后，随着残余涡旋逐步向东南移动，降雨格局将发生转变。预报补充，若该残余涡旋在 8 月 16 日前后再度发展，或将给我国东北地区带来新一轮强降雨。typhoon /taɪˈfuːn/n. 台风remnant /ˈremnənt/n. 残余；剩余部分waterlogging /ˈwɔːtəlɒɡɪŋ/n. 涝灾；积水vortex /ˈvɔːteks/n. 涡旋；漩涡

Typhoon Dolphin made double landfall in East China's Zhejiang province on Sunday evening, bringing strong winds, high waves and heavy rain.台风 “白海豚” 于周日晚间在华东浙江省二次登陆，带来狂风、巨浪与强降雨。The typhoon is expected to weaken as it moves inland and northward, reaching North China in the coming days.该台风向内陆北上过程中将逐步减弱，未来数日将抵达华北地区。Dolphin, the 13th typhoon of the year, made its first landfall in Kanmen subdistrict of Yuhuan, Taizhou, at around 5:30 pm as a strong typhoon, with the maximum sustained wind speed at its center exceeding 150 kilometers per hour, according to the National Meteorological Center.据国家气象中心消息，今年第 13 号台风 “白海豚” 以强台风级别，于下午 5 时 30 分左右在台州玉环坎门街道首次登陆，中心最大持续风速超每小时 150 公里。The typhoon then made a second landfall in Yueqing, Zhejiang, about 70 minutes later.约 70 分钟后，该台风在浙江乐清完成二次登陆。Ahead of its arrival, coastal cities across Zhejiang scaled up their emergency response systems.台风来临前，浙江各沿海城市提升应急响应等级。Wenzhou, Taizhou and Ningbo activated Level I responses, the highest in China's four‑tier system, while Hangzhou activated Level II.温州、台州、宁波启动我国四级应急体系中的最高等级 Ⅰ 级应急响应，杭州启动 Ⅱ 级应急响应。In Taizhou, all 3,815 fishing vessels were berthed in safe waters, and work was suspended at 29 coastal water‑related projects.台州 3815 艘渔船全部回港避风，29 个涉海沿海项目停工。Wenzhou imposed citywide suspension of classes, work, production, transportation and business operations.温州全市实行停课、停工、停产、停运、停业。The National Meteorological Center issued a red typhoon alert, its highest‑level warning, on Sunday morning.国家气象中心周日早晨发布台风红色预警，为最高级别预警。It was the second such alert this year, following one for Typhoon Noul in late July.这是继 7 月底台风 “红霞” 之后，今年第二次发布台风红色预警。The storm caused widespread travel disruptions across the Yangtze River Delta.这场风暴造成长三角地区大范围交通受阻。More than 1,000 flights were canceled on Sunday, while some railway services and ferry routes were suspended.周日千余架次航班取消，部分铁路班次与轮渡航线停运。Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport canceled 388 inbound and outbound flights, mostly scheduled for the afternoon.杭州萧山国际机场取消 388 架次进出港航班，大部分为下午时段航班。Shanghai's Pudong and Hongqiao airports canceled more than 1,300 flights, nearly 60 percent of scheduled services.上海浦东、虹桥两大机场取消 1300 余架次航班，占计划航班量近六成。Authorities also moved people living in vulnerable areas to safety.相关部门也将居住在风险区域的群众转移至安全地带。In Hangzhou's Xiaoshan district, for example, a shelter at Jinshan Junior High School had become a temporary home for 231 construction workers by Sunday afternoon.例如，截至周日下午，杭州萧山区金山中学安置点已接纳 231 名建筑工人临时避险。On Saturday evening, authorities in Zhejiang evacuated some 390,000 people in Taizhou.周六晚间，浙江台州转移安置约 39 万名群众。Authorities in Shanghai evacuated more than 30,000 people from risk‑prone areas.上海相关部门从风险区域转移 3 万余人。Dolphin's impact is expected to last for days.“白海豚” 带来的影响预计将持续数日。Dong Lin, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center, said its circulation spans about 1,300 kilometers, contributing to a broad and prolonged wind and rain impact.国家气象中心首席预报员董林表示，该台风环流范围约 1300 公里，将造成大范围、长时间的风雨影响。Through Monday, heavy rainfall is expected mainly in areas south of the Yellow and Huaihe rivers, including parts of Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Henan and Shandong.截至周一，强降雨主要集中在黄淮以南部分地区，涵盖浙江、上海、江苏、安徽、湖北、河南、山东局部。The rain belt is expected to move northward beginning Tuesday as Dolphin's residual circulation moves inland.随着 “白海豚” 残余环流深入内陆，雨带预计自周二起向北推移。According to the Beijing Meteorological Service, the Beijing‑Tianjin‑Hebei region is forecast to see heavy rainfall from Monday night through Friday.北京市气象台消息，京津冀地区预计自周一夜间至周五将迎来强降雨。landfall /ˈlændfɔːl/n.（台风）登陆circulation /ˌsɜːkjəˈleɪʃn/n. 环流；环流圈evacuate /ɪˈvækjueɪt/v. 疏散；转移forecaster /ˈfɔːkɑːstə(r)/n. 预报员

China has announced its first mandatory national safety standard for Level 3 and Level 4 autonomous vehicles, tightening safety requirements for selfdriving cars in the world's largest automotive market.中国出台首部适用于3级、4级自动驾驶车辆的强制性国家安全标准，在全球规模最大的汽车市场收紧自动驾驶汽车的安全规定。The safety requirements for automated driving systems of intelligent connected vehicles, which will take effect on July 1, 2027, have been approved by the State Administration for Market Regulation and the National Standardization Administration. The rules were introduced on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Tuesday.这份《智能网联汽车 自动驾驶系统安全要求》已于国家市场监督管理总局、国家标准化管理委员会获批，将于2027年7月1日正式施行；该规定于周二在工业和信息化部官网对外发布。Unlike previous driver assistance technologies, the L3 automated driving system enables vehicles to take over certain driving tasks under specific conditions, while still requiring human intervention. The L4 system can perform driving tasks without human input in designated environments.和以往的驾驶员辅助技术不同，3级自动驾驶系统可在特定工况下接管部分驾驶操作，但依旧需要人类随时介入；4级自动驾驶系统能够在划定运行区域内，无需人为操控便可完成全部驾驶任务。According to the new requirements, automated driving systems must achieve an equivalent safety level to that of a qualified and attentive human driver performing the same dynamic driving tasks while avoiding unnecessary risks to passengers and other road users.新规提出，自动驾驶系统执行动态驾驶任务时，安全水准须等同于一名资质合格、注意力集中的驾驶人，同时需要规避给车内乘员以及其他道路参与者带来多余风险。The standard introduces clearer requirements for humanmachine interaction, which has become an increasingly important issue as drivers shift between automated and manual control.该标准针对人机交互制定了更为明晰的规范；当驾驶员在自动驾驶、人工操控之间来回切换时，人机交互现已成为愈发关键的难题。For L3 vehicles, manufacturers must equip their systems with driver takeover monitoring to ensure that motorists are able to resume control when requested. Vehicles must also provide clear information regarding when automated driving is ready, activated or disengaged. If a human driver fails to respond to a takeover request, the vehicle must automatically execute a minimumrisk maneuver, which is a predefined sequence designed to bring the vehicle to the safest possible state.针对3级自动驾驶车辆，车企必须搭载驾驶员接管监测系统，保证驾驶人收到接管提示之后可以顺利拿回车辆控制权。车辆还需要清晰提示自动驾驶待命、开启以及退出的状态。倘若驾驶员没有响应接管提醒，车辆需要自动执行最低风险处置操作；该预设操作流程可以令车辆进入风险最低的运行状态。Rao Qing, chief architect for global solutions at the autonomous driving company Momenta, said, "The release of the mandatory national standard marks the beginning of a new phase for China's autonomous driving industry, where largescale commercialization is built on safety and clear regulatory benchmarks."自动驾驶企业毫末智行全球方案总架构师饶晴表示：“这项强制性国标落地，标志着国内自动驾驶行业迈入全新阶段，行业规模化商业化，今后将建立在安全保障与清晰的监管准则之上。”Since the beginning of the year, regulators have introduced standards relating to simulation testing, vehicle communications and Level 2 driverassistance systems, as well as mandatory safety requirements for higher levels of automation, resulting in one of the most comprehensive regulatory frameworks for selfdriving vehicles in the country.今年开年至今，监管部门陆续出台仿真测试、车载通信、2级驾驶辅助系统相关标准，同时推出高阶自动驾驶强制安全规范，搭建起国内一套完备度靠前的自动驾驶汽车监管体系。Last year, China granted conditional approval to its first L3 autonomous passenger vehicles and positioned intelligent driving as a key area of development.去年我国有条件准许首批3级自动驾驶乘用车投产上路，并将智能驾驶划定为重点发展赛道。The latest data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that in the first half of this year, 70.5 percent of new passenger vehicles sold in China were equipped with L2 combined driver assistance systems, which means that roughly seven out of every 10 new vehicles were equipped with such technology.工信部最新数据显示：今年上半年，国内售出的全新乘用车当中，70.5%搭载有2级组合驾驶辅助系统，相当于每十台新车大约有七台配备该技术。However, some industry experts said that fewer than 10 percent of L2equipped vehicle owners have actually activated or used the driver assistance functions.但多名业内专家称，搭载2级辅助驾驶的车主里，实际开启、使用该辅助功能的人数占比不足一成。Jiang Han, a senior researcher at the think tank Pangoal, said: "The new mandatory national standard marks a fundamental shift in China's regulation for autonomous driving — from giving emerging technologies room to develop, to imposing hard requirements to ensure safety.

China announced on Wednesday a raft of measures in response to restrictions imposed on Chinese companies by the United States, including placing six US entities on its countermeasure list, imposing tighter export controls on drones and related technologies, and launching a national security review into imported printers and copiers.中国8月5日宣布了一系列措施，以回应美国对中国企业施加的限制，包括将六家美国实体列入反制清单、对无人机及相关技术实施更严格的出口管制，并对进口打印和复印设备启动国家安全审查。A Ministry of Commerce spokesperson said in a statement that the countermeasures were a necessary response to Washington's continued expansion of restrictions under the pretext of national security. China urges the US to immediately withdraw relevant restrictions, stop its wrongful actions and return to the right track of resolving differences through friendly consultation and cooperation, the statement added.商务部发言人在一份声明中表示，这些反制措施是针对美方以国家安全为由不断扩大限制的必要回应。声明还称，中方敦促美方立即撤销相关限制措施，停止错误做法，回到通过友好协商与合作解决分歧的正确轨道上来。The spokesperson warned that China would take more countermeasures if the US insists on introducing new restrictions targeting Chinese entities.发言人警告说，如果美方坚持针对中国企业出台新的限制措施，中方将采取更多反制举措。Since the meeting between the two heads of state in Busan, South Korea, last year, the US Federal Communications Commission has repeatedly introduced restrictive measures targeting Chinese companies despite Beijing's firm opposition and calls from business communities in both countries for cooperation, the spokesperson said.发言人表示，自去年两国元首在韩国釜山会晤以来，美国联邦通信委员会不顾中方的坚决反对以及两国商界对合作的呼吁，多次出台针对中国企业的限制措施。The US has continued to overstretch the concept of national security, with its measures covering areas including telecommunications operators, testing laboratories, drones, consumer routers and submarine cables, and it has recently imposed import curbs on advanced robotics equipment and power inverters.美方持续泛化国家安全概念，限制措施涵盖电信运营商、检测实验室、无人机、消费级路由器和海底光缆等领域，并于近期对先进机器人设备和电力逆变器实施了进口限制。To safeguard China's national security and interests, the ministry said that export controls on drone-related dual-use items destined for the US will be tightened, requiring case-by-case reviews for exports of drones, key components and related technologies, which will not be eligible for license facilitation measures, effective immediately.为维护国家安全和利益，商务部表示，对美出口的无人机相关两用物项将实施更严格的出口管制，对无人机、关键部件及相关技术的出口实施逐案审查，不适用许可便利化措施，即日生效。As six US entities have assisted and supported illegal US sanctions related to the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, they will be prohibited from engaging in relevant transactions, cooperation and other activities with organizations and individuals in China, effective immediately, the ministry said.商务部表示，由于六家美国实体协助和支持了美国非法涉疆制裁，将禁止其与中国境内组织和个人进行相关交易、合作及其他活动，即日生效。Also on Wednesday, the National Certification and Accreditation Administration said it would suspend, with immediate effect, follow-up factory inspections conducted by US certification agencies on behalf of designated China Compulsory Certification bodies.同一天，国家认证认可监督管理委员会表示，将暂停美国认证机构受指定中国强制性产品认证机构委托开展的后续工厂检查，即日生效。The ministry spokesperson said China's countermeasures were "overall restrained" and reflected its desire to preserve the hard-won stability of China-US economic and trade relations.商务部发言人表示，中方的反制措施“总体上是克制的”，反映了中方维护来之不易的中美经贸关系稳定局面的意愿。Experts noted that the countermeasures are aimed at protecting China's legitimate interests while avoiding further escalation of trade tensions. They emphasized that dialogue and rules-based cooperation remain essential for maintaining stability in global supply chains.专家指出，这些反制措施旨在保护中国的合法权益，同时避免贸易紧张局势进一步升级。他们强调，对话和基于规则的合作对于维护全球供应链稳定仍然至关重要。John Quelch, executive vice-chancellor and a distinguished professor of social science at Duke Kunshan University in Jiangsu province, said a stable international trading system benefits not only exporters and investors, but also consumers and workers worldwide.昆山杜克大学执行副校长、杰出社会科学教授约翰·奎尔奇表示，稳定的国际贸易体系不仅惠及出口商和投资者，也惠及全球消费者和劳动者。The ministry also announced on Wednesday the launch of a national security investigation into imported office equipment with printing and copying functions that are equipped with foreign system software, marking China's first such probe under its foreign trade law.商务部8月5日还宣布，对进口的配备外国系统软件的具有打印、复印功能的办公设备启动国家安全调查，这是中国首次依据对外贸易法开展此类调查。Shi Xiaoli, a professor of international economic law at China University of Political Science and Law in Beijing, said the move shows China's efforts to build a systematic and institutional framework to address trade-related risks.中国政法大学国际经济法教授史晓丽表示，此举显示了中国在构建系统性、制度性框架以应对贸易相关风险方面的努力。overstretch /ˌəʊvəˈstretʃ/过度延伸，泛化telecommunications /ˌtelɪkəˌmjuːnɪˈkeɪʃənz/电信submarine cables /ˌsʌbməˈriːn ˈkeɪbəlz/海底光缆power inverters /ˈpaʊər ɪnˈvɜːtəz/电力逆变器dual-use items /ˈdjuːəl juːz ˈaɪtəmz/两用物项case-by-case review /keɪs baɪ keɪs rɪˈvjuː/逐案审查eligible /ˈelɪdʒəbəl/有资格的

Japan's accelerating remilitarization has become a serious factor threatening regional peace and stability, the Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday, urging the international community to stay on high alert and push back against the trend.外交部于周三表态，日本不断加快再军事化进程已然成为威胁地区和平稳定的重大隐患，呼吁国际社会保持高度警惕，抵制这一不良动向。Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian made the remarks in response to the Defense of Japan 2026 white paper, which continues to trumpet the development of longrange offensive capabilities and new ways of warfare while even packaging Japan's rearmament as a growth driver.外交部发言人林健针对日本2026年版《防卫白皮书》作出以上回应。该白皮书依旧大肆鼓吹发展远程进攻战力与新型作战模式，甚至将日本重整军备包装成经济增长动力。All these moves once again expose the truth behind Japan's claim of being a "peaceful nation", Lin said in a statement released on the ministry's official website.外交部官网刊发的声明当中，林健讲到，以上种种举动再次揭开日本所谓“和平国家”说辞之下的真面目。The white paper identifies China as Japan's "greatest strategic challenge" and presents defense investment as beneficial to the country's economy and society.这份白皮书将中国定性为日本“最大战略挑战”，还宣称防卫投入能够为本国经济与社会带来益处。Citing what it describes as intensifying activities by the Chinese military in the region surrounding Japan, the document calls for a response drawing on Japan's comprehensive national power and cooperation with its ally, likeminded countries and others.白皮书捏造中国军方在日本周边活动愈发频繁的说辞，声称要调动日本综合国力，并联合盟友、理念相近国家以及其余各方作出应对。China deplores and firmly rejects the white paper and has lodged serious representations with Japan, Lin said.林健表示，中方强烈谴责并且坚决反对该白皮书，已经向日方提出严正交涉。Taiwan's status reaffirmed重申台湾的地位The spokesman said that the document once again targets China with groundless accusations, rehashes the socalled "China threat" and grossly interferes in China's internal affairs with brazen comments on China's Taiwan region.该发言人表明，白皮书再度无端指责中国、翻炒“中国威胁论”，还针对中国台湾地区发表放肆言论，粗暴干涉我国内政。China is committed to peaceful development and a national defense policy that is defensive in nature, and its military activities are just and valid, Lin said.林健称，中国坚持走和平发展道路，奉行防御性国防政策，我方一切军事行动正当合法。"Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The Taiwan question is entirely China's internal affair. How to resolve it is a matter for the Chinese ourselves, and Japan is in no place to interfere," he said.他指出：“台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分，台湾问题纯属中国内政。该问题如何解决由中国人自己决定，日方无权插手。”The Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated islands have been China's territory since ancient times, and this fact will never change no matter what the Japanese side says or does, he added.他补充说明，钓鱼岛及其附属岛屿自古以来便是中国领土，无论日方如何言行，这一事实永远不会动摇。Noting that Japanese militarists once inflicted immense suffering on Asia and the world and committed untold crimes, Lin emphasized that Japan has not only failed to reflect on that history, but has also kept speeding up remilitarization, breaching its own Constitution and international and domestic laws and challenging the postwar international order.林健谈及昔日日本军国主义带给亚洲乃至全世界深重苦难、犯下罄竹难书的罪行；他着重强调，日本非但没有反省历史，反而持续加速再军事化，违背本国宪法、国内外法规，挑衅战后国际秩序。"We urge Japan to deeply repent for its historical crimes, learn the lessons of history, stop cooking up justifications for its military buildup and step back from the wrong path," Lin said.林健说道：“我方敦促日本深刻忏悔历史罪责、吸取历史教训，不要再为扩充军力编造借口，及时从错误道路上抽身。”In recent years, Japan has accelerated its military buildup by increasing defense spending, acquiring longrange missiles and strengthening joint operations. In April, it revised its arms export rules to allow, in principle, the export of lethal weapons, while senior Japanese officials have also left open the possibility of reviewing the country's Three NonNuclear Principles.近些年来，日本通过抬高防卫预算、购置远程导弹、强化联合作战加快军备扩张。今年四月日本修改武器出口规章，原则上准许出口杀伤性武器；日本高层官员也放出风声，有可能重新研讨无核三原则。The Foreign Ministry has repeatedly said that these moves go beyond Japan's postwar exclusively defenseoriented policy and jeopardize regional peace and stability.外交部多次表态，这类举动已经逾越日本战后专守防卫政策的边界，会危及地区和平与安定。deplore /dɪˈplɔː(r)/强烈谴责；悲叹remilitarization /ˌriːmɪlɪtəraɪˈzeɪʃn/再军事化trumpet /ˈtrʌmpɪt/大肆宣扬，鼓吹inalienable /ɪnˈeɪliənəbl/不可分割的、不可剥夺的inflict /ɪnˈflɪkt/造成（伤害、苦难）jeopardize /ˈdʒepədaɪz/危及，损害

While developing economies face lower job displacement risks from artificial intelligence compared with developed nations, gaps in infrastructure development, institutional capacity and relevant skill sets largely restrict their access to the benefits that AI has to offer, said a recent World Bank report.世界银行近期一份报告表明，虽然相较发达国家，发展中经济体遭遇人工智能造成岗位流失的风险更低，但基础设施建设、机构办事能力以及相关技能储备方面的短板，很大程度阻碍它们享受人工智能带来的红利。According to the World Development Report 2026, which was released on Tuesday, only 4.5 percent of existing jobs in low and middleincome countries are at risk of automation by generative AI, compared with 14.2 percent in highincome countries.周二发布的《2026年世界发展报告》显示，中低收入国家仅有4.5%的现有岗位存在被生成式人工智能自动化取代的风险，而高收入国家该数值为14.2%。At the same time, AI could meaningfully boost productivity in 16.2 percent of jobs in developing nations, which is not far below the estimated 18.7 percent for highincome countries.与此同时，人工智能能够切实提升发展中国家16.2%岗位的生产效率，该数值和高收入国家预估的18.7%相差不大。While the labor market in developing economies is less concentrated in occupations that are most exposed to generative AI, the figures suggest that workers and businesses could still use the technology to improve performance.尽管发展中经济体劳动力市场里，容易受生成式人工智能冲击的职业占比较低，但以上数据说明劳动者和企业依旧可以依靠这项技术提升工作成效。The World Bank described the report as "the first comprehensive assessment" of the implications of AI for developing economies, offering a perspective that has often been overlooked in academic and policy discussions focused largely on developed nations.世界银行称这份报告是首份针对人工智能对发展中经济体影响的全面评估，提供了一种在多数聚焦发达国家的学术研讨与政策探讨当中常被忽视的视角。"AI has thrown developing economies a lifeline, and they should seize it," said Indermit Gill, senior vicepresident and chief economist at the World Bank Group in a news release.世界银行集团高级副行长兼首席经济学家英德米特·吉尔在新闻通告中表示：“人工智能为发展中经济体送上了救命机遇，各国应当把握住它。”Weakest average growth平均增速跌至数十年低谷Developing economies are currently experiencing their weakest average growth performance in three decades, the World Bank said, adding that AI could be particularly valuable in cases where shortages of skilled manpower and institutional capacity have hindered development.世界银行表示，现如今发展中经济体的平均经济增速创下三十年来最差纪录；在专业劳动力紧缺、机构能力不足拖累发展的境况之下，人工智能能够发挥格外关键的作用。According to the report, AI tools can help doctors diagnose illnesses, support teachers in adapting teaching methods, guide farmers in making planting decisions, provide advice to small businesses, and enable banks to assess borrowers without conventional credit histories.报告提出，人工智能工具能够协助医生诊断病症、帮助教师调整授课方式、指导农户敲定种植方案、为小微企业出谋划策，还可以帮助银行评估没有常规信贷记录的借贷人。Governments could use AI to improve tax collection, social programs, healthcare services, education curriculums and disaster response, thereby extending limited publicsector capacity across larger populations, the report also said.报告还提到，各国政府能够借助人工智能优化税收征管、社会福利项目、医疗服务、课程设置以及灾害应急工作，让有限的公共服务能力惠及更多民众。Gill noted that developing economies do not require large AI models or big data centers to reap the benefits of the technology. "By adapting small, lowcost AI tools to local conditions, they can bring better medical care, education, judicial services and agricultural extension within the reach of millions," he said.吉尔指出，发展中经济体不必依靠大型人工智能模型或是大型数据中心收获技术红利。他说道：“只要因地制宜改造小型低成本人工智能工具，数以百万计的民众便可以享受到更加优质的医疗、教育、司法以及农业推广服务。”The World Bank cautioned that "such optimism should not be unbridled", indicating countries that could benefit most from AI are often the least prepared to embrace the technology.世界银行警示人们不可盲目乐观，可以从人工智能当中获益最多的国家，往往最欠缺接纳该项技术的基础条件。Harnessing the power of AI calls for a dependable foundation involving a stable electricity supply, affordable highspeed internet, capable institutions and skilled workers, but many developing economies have yet to achieve universal access even to electricity and the internet, it said.报告称，想要利用好人工智能，就必须拥有可靠基础：稳定供电、平价高速网络、完备的管理机构以及技术劳工；可不少发展中经济体至今都没能实现电力和互联网全民覆盖。The report shows that developing economies account for just 5 percent of highperformance computing capacity and 12 percent of secure internet servers. In subSaharan Africa, for example, almost onethird of rural schools still lack a stable electricity supply, and more than twothirds lack dependable internet connections.数据显示，发展中经济体仅占有全球5%的高性能算力以及12%的安全互联网服务器。以撒哈拉以南非洲举例，将近三分之一的乡村学校供电不稳定，超过三分之二的学校缺少可靠网络。While AI could significantly boost performance globally before the end of the decade, the opportunity is not guaranteed for all, the World Bank said. It added that the most advanced AI systems are being developed by a small number of countries and companies, while many developing economies still lack the basic infrastructure needed to effectively use AI.世界银行表示，尽管本世纪十年代末之前人工智能有望在全世界大幅提升生产水平，但并不是所有国家都能够抓住机遇。报告补充，顶尖人工智能系统只由少数国家和企业研发，多数发展中经济体尚且欠缺高效运用AI所需的基础配套设施。Although adopting existing generative AI tools is less expensive, imported systems may perform poorly when applied to languages, cultures and public services inadequately represented in their training data. For example, more than 2,000 languages spoken in Africa are neglected in major language models, according to the report's concept note.虽说引进现成生成式AI工具成本偏低，但外来系统面对训练数据集当中缺少样本的本土语言、本土文化、公共事务时，使用效果很差。报告概要说明，非洲有两千余种本土语言没有被主流语言模型所顾及。Another concern, the report said, is that governments that lack the expertise or data needed to embrace these systems could become dependent on a small number of AI solution vendors, and those dominant vendors could shape standards and regulatory frameworks in those countries.报告还提出另一隐患：缺少专业人才和相关数据的政府在引进AI系统之后，容易受制于少数技术供应商；这些占据上风的供应商甚至能够左右当地行业标准和监管制度。Three step strategy三步走战略The World Bank called on developing economies to follow a threestep strategy — adopting available AI tools, adapting them to local conditions and advancing toward frontier development over time.世界银行呼吁各发展中经济体落实三步走策略：引进现成人工智能工具、结合本土环境进行改造、循序渐进向着前沿技术研发迈进。This approach would allow governments to initially focus on practical, lowercost applications, rather than making expensive attempts to reproduce the most advanced models before basic foundations are in place, it said.该策略能够让政府优先发展实用廉价的AI应用，不必在基础条件尚未完备之时耗费巨资复刻顶尖人工智能模型。Gaurav Nayyar, director of the World Development Report 2026, warned that the window to get it right is narrow. "Developing countries that build the foundations now — power, connectivity, skills and institutions — will be positioned to adopt and adapt AI for their people," he said.《2026年世界发展报告》负责人高拉夫·纳亚尔提醒，合适的发展窗口期十分短暂。他表示：“现如今打好电力、网络、人才、制度基础的发展中国家，往后便能为本国民众引进并改良人工智能技术。”comprehensive /ˌkɒmprɪˈhensɪv/全面的，综合的unbridled /ʌnˈbraɪdld/不受约束的，盲目放任的harness /ˈhɑːnɪs/利用，驾驭vendor /ˈvendə(r)/供应商，售卖商frontier /ˈfrʌntɪə(r)/前沿，尖端领域

Artificial intelligence is playing a larger role in recruitment as employers seek a faster, more precise supply of high-end talent, and job seekers are using it to strengthen applications and prepare for interviews.人工智能在招聘中正扮演越来越重要的角色——雇主希望更快速、精准地获取高端人才，求职者也在利用AI强化求职申请、准备面试。For employers, AI is reducing the time spent on high-volume screening. Yang Liang, who works in human resources at a central State-owned enterprise, said his team uses AI to compare resumes with job descriptions and generate matching reports, along with suggested interview questions, risk alerts and assessments of candidates' potential.对于雇主而言，AI正在减少大量筛选简历的时间。在央企从事人力资源工作的杨亮表示，他的团队利用AI将简历与职位描述进行比对，生成匹配度报告，并附带面试问题建议、风险提示和候选人潜力评估。"Recruitment efficiency has soared with AI," Yang said, adding that his company can receive more than 100 resumes a day, a volume that once took recruiters most of the day to screen but can now be processed dozens of times faster.“AI让招聘效率大幅提升，”杨亮说。他补充道，公司每天收到超过100份简历，过去需要招聘人员花费大半天时间筛选，现在处理速度提升了数十倍。Nearly 80 percent of companies used AI hiring tools during China's 2025 spring recruitment season, with 52.6 percent using them for resume screening and 35.1 percent for AI-powered interviews, according to a report by Chinese recruitment platform Nowcoder.据中国招聘平台牛客网发布的报告，在2025年春季招聘季中，近80%的企业使用了AI招聘工具，其中52.6%用于简历筛选，35.1%用于AI面试。The report said automated bulk screening shortened the average recruitment cycle by 25 percent and cut initial manual screening costs at leading internet companies by 33 percent. During the peak campus recruitment period, screening 1,000 resumes would take recruiters more than eight hours, while an AI system could complete the task in less than 20 minutes.报告称，自动化批量筛选将平均招聘周期缩短了25%，领先互联网公司的初步人工筛选成本降低了33%。在校园招聘高峰期，筛选1000份简历需要招聘人员超过8小时，而AI系统可在20分钟内完成。Beyond volume hiring, recruiters are testing AI on specialized searches. Recruitment platform Maimai said its latest AI-model-powered system can interpret natural-language requirements that are difficult to convert into fixed search tags. It then assesses resumes, professional profiles and workplace connections to locate candidates, including those in adjacent industries.除了大规模招聘，招聘人员还在尝试将AI用于专业化搜索。招聘平台脉脉表示，其最新的AI模型驱动系统能够解析难以转换为固定搜索标签的自然语言需求，然后评估简历、职业档案和工作关系，以定位候选人，包括来自相邻行业的潜在人选。"Anyone who can type can use AI recruitment tools," said Huo Qiaodi, head of Maimai's recruitment business. "The system can easily handle personalized screening conditions through natural language, such as 'excluding candidates who changed jobs twice in three years unless each move brought a promotion'."“只要会打字就能用AI招聘工具，”脉脉招聘业务负责人霍巧笛说。“该系统能通过自然语言轻松处理个性化筛选条件，例如‘排除三年内跳槽两次的候选人，除非每次跳槽都有晋升。”Its reasoning function can also help recruiters look beyond familiar companies and industries. When seeking a community operations specialist with about a year of experience, for example, recruiters may initially focus on candidates from regular community platforms such as Xiaohongshu, Zhihu, Bilibili and Weibo.系统的推理功能还能帮助招聘人员跳出熟悉的公司和行业。例如，在寻找具有约一年经验的社区运营专员时，招聘人员最初可能聚焦于来自小红书、知乎、哔哩哔哩和微博等常规社区平台的候选人。However, the system can widen that search by recommending candidates from unconventional channels such as NetEase Games or Huawei's Xinsheng Community.不过，系统可以扩大搜索范围，推荐来自非常规渠道的候选人，例如网易游戏或华为心声社区的运营人员。"These unexpected candidates may prove to be a better fit," Huo said. She added that AI recruitment was not intended to replace human resources professionals, but to allow them to focus on higher-value judgment and communication.“这些意想不到的候选人可能更适合，”霍巧笛说。她补充说，AI招聘并非意在取代人力资源从业者，而是让他们专注于更高价值的判断和沟通。Job seekers are also using AI to reduce information gaps and better explain how their experience fits a position. Dong Yuqi, a liberal arts student, built a simple AI tool that produces reports on unfamiliar employers, drawing together information on their business, operations and workplace discussions. She also uses AI to tailor resumes to job descriptions and organize possible interview questions.求职者也在利用AI缩小信息差，更好地阐释自己的经验如何匹配岗位。文科生董钰琪开发了一个简单的AI工具，生成关于陌生雇主的报告，汇集其业务、运营和职场讨论等信息。她还用AI根据职位描述定制简历并整理可能的面试问题。"AI not only improves efficiency; it can also make access to information fairer and reduce some information asymmetry," Dong said.“AI不仅提高了效率，还能让信息获取更加公平，减少一些信息不对称，”董钰琪说。Li Huiying, 24, a job seeker in Beijing, said an AI mock interviewer quickly exposed weaknesses in her application materials.24岁的北京求职者李慧颖表示，AI模拟面试官很快暴露了她求职材料中的短板。"I prepared for job interviews for about two months, and AI identified problems in my resume in just seconds," Li said.“我准备了大约两个月的面试，AI在几秒钟内就指出了我简历中的问题，”李慧颖说。Their experiences reflect the wider use of AI among job seekers. A survey from Zhaopin.com during this year's spring recruitment season found that 50.7 percent of respondents used AI to improve resumes or write self-introductions, 28.2 percent used it to analyze target industries or companies, and 26.5 percent used it for mock interviews and to practice their responses.这些经历反映了AI在求职者中的广泛使用。智联招聘在今年春季招聘季的一项调查发现，50.7%的受访者使用AI润色简历或撰写自我介绍，28.2%用于分析目标行业或公司，26.5%用于模拟面试和练习应答。（文中所有人名均为音译）adjacent industries /əˈdʒeɪsənt ˈɪndəstriz/相邻行业natural-language requirements /ˈnætʃərəl ˈlæŋɡwɪdʒ rɪˈkwaɪəmənts/自然语言需求fixed search tags /fɪkst sɜːtʃ tæɡz/固定搜索标签professional profiles /prəˈfeʃənəl ˈprəʊfaɪlz/职业档案workplace connections /ˈwɜːkpleɪs kəˈnekʃənz/工作关系

The Supreme People's Court has emphasized the importance of regulating commercial marketing practices in the digital era, urging judges nationwide to help establish clear compliance guidelines for platform operators through their rulings.最高人民法院强调，规范数字时代的商业营销行为至关重要，并敦促全国法官通过司法裁判，为平台经营者确立明确的合规指引。In releasing details of five significant cases on Monday, China's top court highlighted the need to effectively resolve disputes related to the platform economy to better protect consumers' rights and promote healthy industry development.在8月3日公布的五起典型案例中，最高人民法院指出，需有效化解平台经济相关纠纷，以更好保护消费者权益，促进行业健康发展。"The platform economy is a key component of the digital economy and plays a crucial role in developing new quality productive forces," the court said, praising the rapid growth of sectors such as livestreaming e-commerce and short-video platforms in recent years.最高人民法院表示，“平台经济是数字经济的重要组成部分，对发展新质生产力具有重要作用”，并肯定了近年来直播电商、短视频平台等领域的快速增长。However, it pointed to problems including inadequate competition rules and a lack of clear operational guidance in these sectors, saying they have harmed consumers' legitimate interests and disrupted market order.不过，最高人民法院也指出，这些领域存在竞争规则不健全、经营行为缺乏明确指引等问题，损害了消费者合法权益，扰乱了市场秩序。The SPC said selling goods through livestreaming platforms has provided small and medium-sized enterprises with an important gateway to the digital economy, making lawful and compliant marketing practices essential for sustainable growth. However, it noted that some livestreamers have made biased or misleading product evaluations, resulting in commercial defamation disputes.最高人民法院表示，通过直播平台销售商品为中小企业提供了进入数字经济的重要渠道，合法合规的营销行为对可持续发展至关重要。但也指出，部分主播发表具有偏见或误导性的商品评价，引发了商业诋毁纠纷。A representative case from July 2024 involved a Beijing-based livestreaming company with nearly 30 million followers.2024年7月的一起典型案例涉及一家总部位于北京、拥有近3000万粉丝的直播公司。During a livestream, one of its hosts made disparaging remarks about a liquor brand produced by a Chongqing distillery, claiming it contained edible alcohol rather than being traditionally fermented.在一次直播中，该公司一名主播对重庆某酒厂生产的一款白酒品牌发表贬损言论，声称该产品含有食用酒精，而非传统发酵工艺酿造。The Chongqing company filed a lawsuit, arguing that the comments misled consumers into believing its liquor was not made from pure grains, thereby damaging its reputation.重庆酒厂提起诉讼，认为这些评论误导消费者以为其白酒并非纯粮酿造，从而损害了其商誉。The Beijing company argued that the remarks were spontaneous responses to viewers' questions during the livestream.北京直播公司辩称，这些言论是直播中回应观众提问时的即兴发言。After hearing the case, a grassroots court ruled that while livestreaming commerce is a commercial activity in which hosts may comment on products, such remarks must not infringe on the legitimate rights of others or undermine fair competition. It said livestreamers should exercise due care when discussing competing products.经审理，一审法院认为，直播带货属于商业活动，主播可以对商品发表评论，但此类言论不得侵害他人合法权益或破坏公平竞争。法院指出，主播在评价竞品时应尽到合理注意义务。After examining the evidence, the court found that the host's remarks created the false impression that the distillery's products were of inferior quality, constituting misleading information.法院在审查证据后认定，主播的言论造成了该酒厂产品品质低劣的虚假印象，构成误导性信息。The court ultimately ruled that the Beijing company had committed commercial defamation and ordered it to pay 300,000 yuan ($44,400) in compensation and legal costs to the Chongqing company.法院最终判决北京直播公司构成商业诋毁，责令其向重庆酒厂支付30万元人民币（约合4.44万美元）赔偿金及诉讼费用。The SPC cited the case as a model for regulating commercial conduct in the livestreaming sector, stressing that livestreamers must ensure their comments are truthful, accurate and comprehensive to avoid misleading the public.最高人民法院将此案作为规范直播行业商业行为的范例，强调主播必须确保其言论真实、准确、全面，避免误导公众。"The decision also helps raise legal compliance awareness among platform operators and businesses, promotes a fair and competitive market environment, and supports the sound development of the livestreaming marketing industry in the digital economy," the court said.最高人民法院表示，“该判决还有助于提升平台经营者与商家的合规意识，营造公平竞争的市场环境，支持数字经济中直播营销行业的健康发展。”The other four cases involve issues including virtual property and e-commerce transactions, reflecting judicial efforts to clarify platforms' responsibilities in online consumption and account transfers.其他四起案例涉及虚拟财产、电子商务交易等问题，反映了司法机关在厘清平台于网络消费及账户转账中相关责任方面的努力。The SPC called on judges nationwide to ensure the legality and compliance of platform transactions, operations, competition and asset management. It also pledged to continue improving judicial rules to provide a stable, fair, transparent and predictable business environment, fostering innovation and the healthy development of the platform economy.最高人民法院要求全国法官确保平台交易、运营、竞争及资产管理的合法合规。最高人民法院还承诺将持续完善司法规则，营造稳定、公平、透明、可预期的营商环境，促进创新与平台经济健康发展。platform economy /ˈplætfɔːm iːˈkɒnəmi/平台经济digital economy /ˈdɪdʒɪtəl iːˈkɒnəmi/数字经济fermented /fəˈmentɪd/发酵的spontaneous responses /spɒnˈteɪniəs rɪˈspɒnsɪz/即兴回应grassroots court /ˈɡrɑːsruːts kɔːt/基层法院transparent /trænsˈpærənt/透明的predictable /prɪˈdɪktəbəl/可预期的fostering innovation /ˈfɒstərɪŋ ˌɪnəˈveɪʃən/促进创新

United States President Donald Trump has backpedaled on a planned "lock and loaded" attack on Iran after claiming Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries had sought it and that the perimeters of a deal have been agreed to, including the Strait of Hormuz reopening.美国总统唐纳德・特朗普收回了蓄势待发、准备打击伊朗的计划。他声称，德黑兰以及其他中东国家请求美方暂缓行动，双方已经商定协议大致框架，其中包括重新开放霍尔木兹海峡。Trump's latest walk back came after a phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud late Saturday amid a wave of warnings from Iran that vowed a decisive response and retaliation that would go beyond the region.伊朗接连发出警告，誓言将做出决定性反击，报复范围将不限于中东地区。在这一背景下，特朗普于周六晚间同沙特王储穆罕默德・本・萨勒曼・本・阿卜杜勒 - 阿齐兹・阿勒沙特通电话，随后最新表态改口。According to an update from the Saudi Press Agency on Sunday, the Saudi Crown Prince "stressed the need to prioritize dialogue to reduce escalation" in his phone call with Trump.沙特通讯社周日发布消息称，沙特王储在与特朗普通话时 “强调应当优先开展对话，缓和紧张局势”。He also stressed the importance of making every possible effort to achieve calm that paves the way for diplomatic solutions, preserves the region's security and stability, and prevents a wider conflict whose repercussions would affect regional and international security and stability.他同时强调，应当尽一切努力实现局势降温，为外交解决途径创造条件，维护地区安全稳定，避免冲突进一步扩大；大范围冲突带来的影响将冲击地区乃至全球安全与稳定。In a social media post, Trump had said the US "is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II".特朗普此前在社交媒体发文称，美国 “已经蓄势待发，准备对伊朗伊斯兰共和国采取行动，动用的军事威慑力量与战力规模为二战以来所罕见”。"Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal have been agreed to. This would include the immediate, complete, and total opening of the Hormuz Strait, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat," said Trump.特朗普表示：“尽管具备上述条件，但伊朗与其他中东国家刚刚请求我们暂缓发动袭击，各方已经敲定协议大致框架。协议内容包括立即全面彻底开放霍尔木兹海峡，同时消除伊朗核威胁。”"Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the world and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a deal. The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it done," he added.他补充道：“基于这一提请，为了全世界长远利益，同时为保障伊朗能够持续繁荣发展，我同意取消袭击行动，但前提是各方能够迅速达成协议。以色列与我共同作出这一表态。各方行动起来，促成协议落地。”But Iran's military sources denied on Sunday Trump's claim that Tehran had asked Washington to call off its strikes, calling his remarks "a new lie", Xinhua News Agency reported.据新华社报道，伊朗军方消息人士周日否认特朗普有关德黑兰请求美方取消打击行动的说法，称特朗普这番言论是 “又一个谎言”。Iranian First Vice-President Mohammad Reza Aref said the government has planned for the next two years, "even for the worst conditions".伊朗第一副总统穆罕默德・礼萨・阿雷夫表示，伊朗政府已经做好未来两年各项预案，“即便是应对最坏局面”。Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said on Sunday that Iran's response to a potential attack will not be limited to the Persian Gulf area, Mehr News Agency reported.伊朗迈赫尔通讯社消息，伊朗议会国家安全与外交政策委员会成员易卜拉欣・礼萨伊周日表示，倘若遭遇袭击，伊朗的反击范围不会局限于波斯湾区域。"We will respond to all enemy bases and to the source of the attacks, from wherever they originate," Rezaei was quoted as saying by Mehr.迈赫尔通讯社援引礼萨伊的话报道：“我们将打击所有敌方基地，直击袭击发起源头，无论源头身处何地。”A similar warning was issued by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to his Turkish and Pakistani counterparts on Sunday of the consequences of US' "aggressive and destabilizing" actions, and stressed Iran's readiness to defend itself.伊朗外长阿巴斯・阿拉格齐周日分别致电土耳其与巴基斯坦外长，发出同类警告，阐述美国 “具有侵略性、破坏局势稳定” 的行动将引发的后果，并强调伊朗做好了自卫准备。Rasha Al Joundy, a senior researcher at the Dubai Public Policy Research Centre, told China Daily that Trump "wants to reach a deal" and that any threat "is part of his strategy to push Iran for an end to the war".迪拜公共政策研究中心高级研究员拉莎・琼迪在接受《中国日报》采访时表示，特朗普 “有意促成协议”，各类军事威胁 “都是施压伊朗、推动结束冲突的策略手段”。"But what was on the table before this war is different than what is on the table after it (mainly, the Strait of Hormuz). I believe this issue is consuming more negotiation time than anything else, including the nuclear stockpile," said Al Joundy.琼迪称：“冲突爆发前后谈判桌上的议题已经发生改变，核心分歧就是霍尔木兹海峡问题。我认为该议题占用的谈判时间超过其他所有事项，甚至比核库存问题更棘手。”She said that all Gulf Cooperation Council countries — Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait and Qatar — have an interest in ending the war and that they "did not stop trying to be involved for this purpose".她表示，海湾阿拉伯国家合作委员会全体成员国 —— 沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国、巴林、阿曼、科威特、卡塔尔，都希望冲突落幕，各国 “始终持续为此奔走斡旋”。"Saudi Arabia's normalization (of ties) with Israel could give it some political leverage with Trump but the US has many economic, strategic interests with all the GCC countries and it will not yield fruit unless the war ends," said Al Joundy.琼迪指出：“沙特同以色列实现关系正常化，或许能让沙特在特朗普面前拥有一定政治筹码；但美国同所有海合会成员国存在大量经济与战略利益，冲突不结束，相关利益安排便难以取得进展。”"The real work in these talks is reaching a balance between what the US can accept and what Iran thinks it can get, and what the GCC is willing to support. Taking into account that Israel should accept whatever scenario being reached," she added.她补充道：“谈判真正的难点在于寻求平衡点，兼顾美方的接受底线、伊朗期望获取的条件以及海合会各国愿意支持的方案，同时以色列必须接受各方最终达成的任何安排。”This is not the first time Trump has retreated from his threats, popularizing the term TACO, which is short for "Trump Always Chickens Out".这并非特朗普首次收回军事威胁，网络衍生出缩写 TACO 广为流传，全称意为 “特朗普总会临阵退缩”。Prior to this, his most recent about-turn was on June 11 after threatening to attack Iran "very hard", including the threat of seizing Kharg Island and taking over total control of the country's oil facilities. Trump cited US discussions with Iran's top leadership for the reversal of his decision.在此之前，他最近一次态度反转发生在 6 月 11 日。彼时他扬言要对伊朗实施 “猛烈打击”，威胁夺取哈尔克岛、全面掌控伊朗石油设施。特朗普当时称，美方同伊朗高层开展沟通，因此更改决定。A similar situation happened on April 1, when the US president warned that the Washington would "bomb Iran into the Stone Age" after it refused to capitulate on Hormuz and days later on April 7, Trump said "a whole civilization will die tonight" in a threat that prompted a global outcry. The following day, Pakistan secured a fragile ceasefire between Washington and Tehran.4 月 1 日也曾出现相似局面。因伊朗拒绝在霍尔木兹海峡议题上妥协，这位美国总统警告，华盛顿将 “把伊朗炸回石器时代”。数日之后的 4 月 7 日，特朗普又放出威胁，称 “一整个文明今夜或将覆灭”，引发国际社会强烈抗议。次日，巴基斯坦从中斡旋，促成美伊达成脆弱停火协议。perimeter /pəˈrɪmɪtə(r)/n. 界限，范围retaliation /rɪˌtæliˈeɪʃn/n. 报复，反击escalation /ˌeskəˈleɪʃn/n. （局势）升级ceasefire /ˈsiːsfaɪə(r)/n. 停火，休战

Xi Jin ping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, has called for efforts to strengthen political guidance and deepen innovation-driven development to advance the high-quality modernization of national defense and the armed forces.Xi, who is also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks on Thursday when presiding over a group study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.He urged efforts to fulfill the goals for the centenary of the People's Liberation Army in 2027 and make "decisive progress" in basically realizing the modernization of national defense and the armed forces. This, he said, will provide strong strategic support for advancing the cause of building a great country and achieving national rejuvenation on all fronts through Chinese modernization.The study session was held ahead of the founding anniversary of the PLA, which falls on Saturday. On behalf of the CPC Central Committee and the CMC, Xi extended festival greetings to all members of the PLA and the People's Armed Police Force, civilian personnel of the PLA, and members of the reserve forces and the militia.Xi said that since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, China has made comprehensive efforts to enhance political loyalty in the military, strengthen the military through reform, personnel training and science and technology, and run the military in accordance with the law.By simultaneously carrying out operations, strengthening combat preparedness and enhancing military capabilities, the Chinese military has significantly improved its modernization level and become a capable fighting force, making historic achievements and transformations, he said.Emphasizing the importance of ensuring political loyalty in the military, Xi urged upholding and strengthening the absolute leadership of the Party over the armed forces. Efforts should be made to ensure that military officers and soldiers follow the Party and that they always obey the Party's commands, he said.Xi called for unremitting efforts to fight against corruption, improve the supervision system for major projects and ensure that all initiatives are underpinned by quality, capability and integrity.He noted the importance of combat effectiveness in the high-quality modernization of national defense and the armed forces, saying that it is essential to enhance the military application of unmanned intelligent technologies and intensify construction and application of a network information system to gradually build an intelligent military system.Solid steps should be taken to advance military training and enhance combat preparedness to effectively safeguard China's national sovereignty, security and development interests, he said.Xi emphasized that consolidating and enhancing integrated national strategies and strategic capabilities is the path the nation must take to achieve high-quality modernization of national defense and the armed forces.He called for strengthening military governance, optimizing institutional frameworks and improving policies and regulations to strengthen close collaboration between the military and civilian sectors.In another development, Xi has signed an order to commend Yang Yong from Troop 91548 of the PLA, honoring him with a first-class merit citation in defense-related science and technology.China has also commended and honored 12 military officers and soldiers as "the most beautiful revolutionary personnel of the new era", according to a joint announcement on Friday by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Political Work Department of the CMC.

China's newly released management measures for the Huangyan Island National Nature Reserve are a significant step aimed at protecting the island's rich biodiversity, officials and experts said.有关官员与专家表示，我国新出台的黄岩岛国家级自然保护区管理办法，是保护该岛丰富生物多样性的重要举措。The 16-article management measures for the reserve, which is a newly established protected area in the South China Sea covering 3,523.67 hectares of coral reef ecosystems and rare marine habitats, were jointly issued on Saturday by the Ministry of Natural Resources, the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, the China Coast Guard and the People's Government of Hainan Province.该保护区为南海新建保护区域，总面积 3523.67 公顷，涵盖珊瑚礁生态系统与珍稀海洋栖息地。这份共十六条的管理办法于周六由自然资源部、国家林业和草原局、中国海警局、海南省人民政府联合印发。According to the measures, a coordination mechanism has been established to address major issues, strengthen collaboration and share information.办法明确，将建立协调工作机制，统筹处置重大问题、强化部门协同、实现信息互通共享。Huangyan Island, which is part of the Zhongsha Islands, features unique coral reef ecosystems and distinctive geological formations. It is home to numerous rare and endangered species, including hawksbill turtles, green sea turtles, giant clams, triton shells and tiger cowries, making it a marine biodiversity hot spot of significant ecological value.黄岩岛隶属于中沙群岛，拥有独特珊瑚礁生态系统与特色地质地貌，栖息着玳瑁、绿海龟、砗磲、法螺、虎斑宝贝等大量珍稀濒危物种，是具备极高生态价值的海洋生物多样性热点区域。Chen Danhong, director-general of the department of international cooperation at the Ministry of Natural Resources, noted that the measures were issued in response to urgent demands to protect the ecosystem as it faces heightened risks, including an abnormal rise in sea temperatures caused by climate change and extreme weather, human activities and potential outbreaks of harmful organisms.自然资源部国际合作司司长陈丹红表示，受气候变化、极端天气引发海水异常升温、人类活动、有害生物潜在暴发等多重风险冲击，黄岩岛生态保护迫在眉睫，出台本办法正是为回应这一迫切保护需求。"The measures provide an institutional basis for protection management and law enforcement. Their implementation will significantly improve the construction and management of the reserve, and they are of great significance for maintaining the health and stability of the South China Sea marine ecosystem," Chen said.陈丹红称：“该办法为保护区管护、执法工作提供制度依据，落地实施后将大幅提升保护区建设与管理水平，对维护南海海洋生态系统健康稳定具有重要意义。”Under the measures, the Ministry of Natural Resources is responsible for boundary surveys, planning review, resource protection and utilization management, asset accounting and registration, as well as the protection of territorial sea baseline points.办法划定各部门职责：自然资源部负责勘界测绘、规划审核、资源保护利用管理、资产核算确权，以及领海基点保护相关工作。The National Forestry and Grassland Administration supervises the reserve and reviews adjustments, planning and construction.国家林业和草原局承担保护区监管职责，负责保护区范围调整、规划建设相关审核工作。The South China Sea bureau of the Ministry of Natural Resources, the designated management institution, handles daily protection, resource monitoring and ecological restoration.自然资源部南海局作为保护区主管管理机构，负责开展日常管护、资源监测与生态修复工作。The Hainan provincial government cooperates with the China Coast Guard on administrative law enforcement, while the local government assists the management institution with disaster prevention, safety management and emergency response measures.海南省人民政府会同中国海警局开展行政执法，地方政府配合管理机构落实防灾、安全管控、应急处置相关工作。The reserve is divided into a core protection zone of 1,242.55 hectares and a general control zone of 2,281.12 hectares.保护区划分为核心保护区与一般控制区，面积分别为 1242.55 公顷、2281.12 公顷。The measures prohibit entry except for activities authorized by laws and regulations or organized by the management institution for protection and management purposes.办法规定，除法律法规许可，或由管理机构组织、以生态管护为目的的活动外，任何单位和个人禁止进入保护区。Fishing, mining, excavating corals, coral reefs and giant clams, and other activities that damage rare marine species and natural ecosystems are prohibited without approval.未经许可，严禁开展捕捞、采矿、采挖珊瑚、珊瑚礁、砗磲等破坏珍稀海洋物种与自然生态系统的活动。The coast guard will establish a routine patrol system in collaboration with the management institution, deploying patrol personnel and equipment to deter and report violations.海警部门将联合管理机构建立常态化巡查巡护机制，布设巡护人员与装备，及时制止、上报各类违法违规行为。Violations will be prosecuted under applicable laws including the Ecological and Environmental Code, the Sea Areas Administration Law, the Island Protection Law, the Wildlife Protection Law, the Coast Guard Law and the regulations on nature reserves.对各类违法行为，将依据《中华人民共和国生态环境法典》《中华人民共和国海域使用管理法》《中华人民共和国海岛保护法》《中华人民共和国野生动物保护法》《中华人民共和国海警法》以及自然保护区相关条例依法追责。Jin Yongming, a distinguished professor at Ocean University of China's School of International Affairs and Public Administration in Shandong province, said the multiagency management model of the Huangyan Island reserve is shaped by its marine environment and geopolitical sensitivity, noting that it involves foreign affairs, politics and security — issues no single department can handle alone.中国海洋大学国际事务与公共管理学院特聘教授金永明表示，黄岩岛特殊海洋环境与地缘敏感性，决定了保护区必须实行多部门协同管理模式，相关工作涉外、涉政、涉安全，无法依靠单一部门独立处置。"The release of these management rules represents a significant step forward in safeguarding China's lawful maritime rights and interests at Huangyan Island," Jin said.金永明指出，这套管理规定的出台，是我国维护黄岩岛合法海洋权益进程中的重要一步。biodiversity /ˌbaɪəʊdaɪˈvɜːsəti/n. 生物多样性ecosystem /ˈiːkəʊsɪstəm/n. 生态系统maritime /ˈmærɪtaɪm/adj. 海洋的；海事的jurisdiction /ˌdʒʊərɪsˈdɪkʃn/n. 管辖；管辖权

This episode begins with the extreme heatwave that hit Europe in June 2026 — Paris at 40°C, a small French town at 43.8°C, the UK breaking a 50year record, and Germany shattering its alltime high three days in a row. As Europeans got creative about staying cool, a Chinese innovation began quietly rewriting the story of the summer: the portable splittype air conditioner. No drilling, no outdoor unit, no professional installation — it precisely bypassed Europe‘s most frustrating obstacles: heritage architecture, astronomical installation fees, and lengthy approvals. We explore three layers: why Europe doesn’t have air conditioning (the triple challenge of history, architecture, and green ideals); how the Chinese solution broke through (the “nodrill” design and a 41% market share); and the deeper lesson — that true competitiveness lies not in defending ideals, but in solving problems. This is not a lowprice “Made in China” story, but a warm narrative about how “Intelligent Manufacturing in China” is engaging the world on equal terms.

Vice-Premier He Lifeng held a video call with United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Thursday, with both sides pledging to strengthen communication and promote stable economic and trade ties.国务院副总理何立峰7月30日与美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特、美国贸易代表贾米森·格里尔举行视频通话，双方均表示将加强沟通，促进经贸关系稳定发展。He, the Chinese lead person for China-US economic and trade affairs, and the US side held candid, in-depth and constructive discussions on implementing the important common understandings reached by the two heads of state at their meeting in May in Beijing.

They also tentatively agreed to hold the mechanism's second meeting this autumn.双方上月举行了中欧贸易投资磋商机制首次会议，期间一致认为，中欧互为稳定且平衡的重要贸易伙伴。双方还初步商定于今年秋季举行该机制的第二次会议。treasury secretary /ˈtreʒəri ˈsekrətəri/财政部长trade representative /treɪd ˌreprɪˈzentətɪv/贸易代表lead person /liːd ˈpɜːsən/牵头人candid /ˈkændɪd/坦诚的in-depth /ɪn ˈdepθ/深入的

The fifth plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee will be held in Beijing in October, with a focus on studying major issues on consistently advancing the Party's full and rigorous self-governance.The announcement came on Thursday after a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, which was presided over by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee.A statement issued after the meeting said that with the profound changes in the international landscape, national conditions and the Party's development, there are new circumstances and issues in advancing the Party's self-governance.In exercising full and rigorous Party governance, efforts should be focused on enhancing the Party's long-term governance capability, maintaining its advanced nature and integrity, and preserving the close bond between the Party and the people, in order to ensure that the Party always remains the strong leadership core in developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, the statement said.The meeting also analyzed and studied the current economic situation and made arrangements for economic work in the second half of this year.During the meeting, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, the Party's top decision-making body, pledged to step up macro policy support, and underlined the need to implement a more proactive fiscal policy and a moderately loose monetary policy, fully leverage the effectiveness of existing policies and roll out practical and effective incremental measures in a timely manner.It is essential to strengthen countercyclical adjustments, intensify efforts to expand domestic demand and optimize supply, enhance development momentum and stimulate social vitality in order to achieve sustained, innovative and improved economic growth, the meeting said.The meeting emphasized the need to accelerate the pace of fiscal spending and the use of bond funds, effectively utilize monetary policy tools and adjust them in a timely manner, and optimize fiscal-monetary coordination to boost domestic demand.It is important to expand mutually beneficial international economic and trade cooperation, vigorously develop service trade, and promote balanced trade development, the meeting said, calling for efforts to actively attract and utilize foreign capital.The meeting emphasized the importance of stabilizing the real estate market, while highlighting the need to enhance the resilience of the capital market and investors' confidence.China's economy grew 4.7 percent year-on-year in the first half of the year. This put the country largely on track to meet its annual growth target of between 4.5 and 5 percent.To effectively carry out economic work for the remainder of the year, efforts must be made to better consider both the domestic and international situations in a coordinated way, balance development and security, consistently deepen reform and opening-up, and speed up the transition from old growth drivers to new ones, the meeting said.The meeting underlined the need to take solid steps to build the "six networks" — water, new-type power grids, computing power, next-generation communication, urban underground pipe and logistics, while calling for efforts to accelerate the development of a modern industrial system and strengthen long-term and steady support for basic research.While calling for deeply implementing the "AI Plus" initiative, fostering new forms of the smart economy and improving the governance system for artificial intelligence, the meeting underscored the need to seek breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies and the development of future industries.Efforts should be made to build emerging pillar industries, while continuously driving the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, the meeting said.The meeting emphasized the need to create a level playing field for market entities, comprehensively address "rat race" competition, further deepen the reform of State-owned assets and enterprises, optimize the development environment for the private economy, and promote the regulated and healthy development of the internet-based platform economy.It is important to effectively implement a package of debt relief measures, and steadily advance the reform and risk mitigation of local small and medium-sized financial institutions, the meeting said.Advice on economic workPrior to Thursday's Political Bureau meeting, the CPC Central Committee held a symposium on July 24 with non-CPC personages to solicit opinions and suggestions on the current economic situation and economic work for the second half of this year.While presiding over the symposium, Xi said that in the first half of the year, China's economy made steady progress despite headwinds, demonstrating strong resilience and vitality.In the second half of the year, efforts should focus on enhancing the effectiveness of macroeconomic policies, Xi said.Key priorities include tapping into the potential for expanding domestic demand, promoting the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation, deepening reform and expanding high-standard opening-up, improving people's livelihoods and continuing to mitigate risks in key areas, he said.plenary /ˈpliːnəri/ adj.全体出席的；全体会议的countercyclical /ˌkaʊntəˈsɪklɪkl/ adj.逆周期的incremental /ˌɪŋkrəˈmentl/ adj.增量的；新增的resilience /rɪˈzɪliəns/ n.韧性；抗风险能力symposium /sɪmˈpəʊziəm/ n.座谈会；专题研讨会mitigate /ˈmɪtɪɡeɪt/ v.缓解；化解（风险、债务、压力）

With the 2026 summer travel season now at its peak, China's tourism market continues to sizzle, with record-breaking passenger flows and shifting preferences reshaping the holiday landscape, according to travel agencies.各大旅行社表示，2026年暑期旅游正值旺季峰值，国内文旅市场热度持续高涨，出行人次创下新高，游客偏好不断转变，重塑了假日出行格局。Travel booking platforms are reporting strong growth. Tuniu, an online travel agency, said bookings for summer tourism products had risen 17 percent year-on-year as of late July, with domestic travel bookings up more than 20 percent. On online travel platform Qunar, summer car rental bookings have increased by nearly 60 percent year-on-year.旅游预订平台订单量大幅攀升。在线旅游服务商途牛数据显示，截至7月下旬，暑期旅游产品预订量同比上涨17%，其中国内游预订涨幅超20%；去哪儿平台暑期租车订单同比增长近60%。To further stimulate summer consumption, more than 450 million yuan ($66 million) in travel vouchers will be distributed nationwide this summer, according to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.文化和旅游部称，今年夏季全国将发放总额超4.5亿元（折合6600万美元）文旅消费券，进一步拉动暑期消费。More than 30,000 culture and tourism consumption events will also be held across the country. Local authorities will expand the supply of high-quality tourism and cultural offerings, including summer retreats, coastal vacations, nighttime tourism, cruises and yachting, family trips, study tours, culinary experiences and museum visits, the ministry said.全国各地还将举办三万余场文旅消费活动。文旅部介绍，各地持续丰富优质文旅产品供给，涵盖避暑休闲、滨海度假、夜间文旅、邮轮游艇、亲子家庭游、研学旅行、美食体验、博物馆游览等多种业态。Family travel remains the dominant force in the summer tourism market. Parents and kids account for over 60 percent of summer travelers on Tuniu and 45 percent on Qunar. According to Qunar, the top family travel destinations this summer are Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu in Sichuan province, Kunming in Yunnan province and Guangzhou in Guangdong province.亲子家庭游依旧是暑期旅游市场主力军。途牛平台暑期亲子游客占比超60%，去哪儿平台该比例达45%。去哪儿数据显示，今夏热门亲子目的地依次为上海、北京、四川成都、云南昆明以及广东广州。Family travel itself is also evolving. Gone are the days when parents planned trips entirely around their children's needs. This summer, as more people born after 1995 become parents, an "everyone has a good time" approach to family vacations is becoming increasingly popular, according to Qunar.亲子游模式也在不断迭代。过去父母一切围绕孩子需求规划行程的时代已然过去。去哪儿平台表示，随着大批95后步入父母行列，兼顾全家游玩体验、人人都能收获快乐的度假理念愈发流行。Hotels are adapting to the trend by offering childcare services and children's clubs. On Qunar, searches for hotels with childcare services and children's programs rose 40 percent month-on-month. The five most popular search criteria for family-friendly hotels are swimming pools, children's clubs, washing machines, refrigerators and child safety facilities.各大酒店顺应趋势，纷纷推出托管服务、儿童乐园。去哪儿平台上，带有育儿服务、儿童游乐项目的酒店搜索量环比上涨40%；亲子酒店五大热门筛选条件为：泳池、儿童俱乐部、洗衣机、冰箱、儿童安全设施。Yan Yun, a resident of Wuhan, Hubei province, in her 30s, is traveling with her 5-year-old daughter and her brother's family — five people in all — on a nine-day road trip from Shenyang and Dalian in Liaoning province to Yantai, Shandong province, from July 25 to Aug 2.湖北武汉30多岁市民严芸，带着5岁女儿以及哥哥一家，共计五人，开启了9天自驾之旅：7月25日至8月2日，从辽宁沈阳、大连一路前往山东烟台。Still on the road and renting a car for the entire trip, Yan said the journey has been highly enjoyable.全程租车自驾、旅途仍在继续的严芸坦言，这次出行体验十分美好。She said traveling with children slows the pace and requires more negotiation, making the itinerary less predictable.她说道，带孩子出游行程节奏会放缓，凡事需要互相商量，旅途计划不会一成不变。Despite the slower pace, she described the journey as a unique and rewarding experience for the whole family.虽说行程节奏舒缓，但她认为这场旅行给全家人带来了独一无二、充实美好的收获。The growing demand for richer travel experiences has become another defining feature of this summer's tourism market. Tuniu said users are increasingly seeking in-depth and experiential travel, driven by sustained demand for emotional value and experience-based consumption.游客对沉浸式深度体验的需求攀升，是今夏文旅市场另一大鲜明特点。途牛表示，受情感价值需求与体验式消费热潮带动，游客愈发偏爱深度体验游。Li Pengbo, Communist Party of China secretary of the School of Tourism Sciences at Beijing International Studies University and a professor at the school, said the shift reflects a fundamental change in consumer values.北京第二外国语学院旅游科学学院党委书记、教授李朋波表示，这种出游偏好转变，本质上是大众消费观念的更迭。"In the era of 'check-in tourism', when travel opportunities were relatively scarce, simply having been somewhere was valuable. Photos served as proof, and social media posts announced the experience.“打卡旅游盛行的年代，出游机会有限，只要抵达过某地就极具意义；拍照留存当作凭证，再发到社交平台分享，便是旅行的全部意义。”"Today, as travel becomes more routine, the marginal value of simply having been somewhere has plummeted. How did you travel? What did you feel? Do you have a story to tell? These have become the new value anchors," Li said.李教授讲道：“如今旅行早已常态化，单纯到此一游的边际价值大幅下降。人们更在意出行方式、内心感受、旅途故事，这些才是当下旅行新的价值核心。”That helps explain the rapid rise of experiences such as city walks, intangible cultural heritage workshops and local food tours, which offer stories to tell rather than simply places to show, he said.这也就能解释为何城市漫步、非遗手作体验、本地美食探访等项目迅速走红：这类旅行重在收获可讲述的旅途故事，而非单纯打卡景点。Summer also remains the peak season for both outbound and inbound travel. According to Qunar, the most popular outbound destinations include Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Indonesia and the United States. Thailand tops the list, with skill-learning trips — in which travelers learn activities such as cooking, yoga and Muay Thai — driving a 3.3-fold increase in hotel bookings in Chiang Mai.暑期同样是出入境旅游旺季。去哪儿数据显示，热门出境目的地有泰国、韩国、马来西亚、新加坡、中国香港、印度尼西亚、美国。泰国稳居榜首，厨艺、瑜伽、泰拳等技能研学旅行热度高涨，直接带动清迈酒店预订量暴涨3.3倍。Inbound tourism is also booming, with Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Chengdu among the most popular destinations.入境游市场同样蓬勃发展，上海、北京、广州、成都最受外籍游客青睐。By source market, the leading countries for inbound travelers this summer are Thailand, Canada, the US, the United Kingdom and Russia. Greek visitors to China increased 9.5 times year-on-year, the fastest growth among all source markets. Visitor numbers from Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Sweden, Finland and Mexico also more than doubled, according to Qunar.从客源国来看，今夏来华游客主要来自泰国、加拿大、美国、英国、俄罗斯。其中希腊来华游客同比暴涨9.5倍，涨幅位居所有客源市场首位；斯里兰卡、蒙古、瑞典、芬兰、墨西哥来华人数也均实现翻倍增长。surge /sɜːdʒ/激增，热潮sizzle /ˈsɪzl/热度高涨，火爆experiential /ɪkˌspɪəriˈenʃl/体验式的plummet /ˈplʌmɪt/暴跌，大幅下降intangible /ɪnˈtændʒəbl/无形的outbound /ˈaʊtbaʊnd/出境的；外出的

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's latest "softened" remarks on China represent a calculated attempt at rhetorical maneuvering. If Takaichi genuinely seeks dialogue with Beijing, she must start from retracting her erroneous and dangerous remarks on the Taiwan question. Otherwise, she is merely misleading the Japanese public and the international community to deflect growing criticism.日本首相高市早苗近期对华释放的一系列所谓缓和言论，不过是精心算计的话术博弈。倘若她真心希望同中方开展对话，首要之举便是收回其在台湾问题上发表的错误且危险言论。如若不然，她只是在蒙蔽日本民众与国际社会，借此转嫁外界日益增多的批评之声。During the question-and-answer session at a news conference in Tokyo on Monday, Takaichi said her government had "consistently promoted a strategic mutually beneficial relationship with China and built a constructive and stable relationship". She also claimed that she looked forward to the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders' Meeting to be held in China later this year as an opportunity for dialogue.周一，高市早苗在东京记者会问答环节称，日本政府“始终致力于推进中日战略互惠关系，构建富有建设性、稳定的双边关系”。她还表示，期待今年下半年在中国举办的亚太经合组织领导人非正式会议能够成为中日对话契机。Such statements ring hollow when she continues to evade the reasons why relations have soured and seeks to shift the blame onto others.然而日方始终回避中日关系恶化的根源、一味推诿责任，这番说辞听来空洞乏味、毫无诚意。During Monday's news conference, when a TBS reporter claimed in his question that Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi "had held talks" with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Manila, Takaichi responded that "Japan was engaging with China at various levels", including through Motegi, and would continue communicating with the Chinese side.周一记者会上，日本TBS电视台一名记者提问时称，日本外务大臣茂木敏充在马尼拉举行的东盟外长会期间同中国外长王毅举行了会谈。对此高市早苗回应称，日本正通过茂木敏充等渠道同中方开展各层级沟通，后续还将持续与中方交流。However, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian had twice made it clear, the latest being on Monday, that no contact had taken place between the two foreign ministers in Manila.但中国外交部发言人林剑已两次明确表态（周一刚刚再度重申），两国外长并未在马尼拉进行任何会面接触。It is absurd for the Japanese side to continue playing word games and pretend that communication between the two sides remains normal.日方一味玩弄文字游戏、谎称双边沟通一切如常，这种做法十分荒唐。While dialogue between China and Japan is indeed necessary, the preconditions for that are clearly defined.中日之间固然需要对话，但对话有着明确的前提条件。Takaichi's remarks on the Taiwan question in November last year crossed China's red line and triggered the downward spiral in bilateral relations. Not to mention that the series of China-targeted moves her government has taken in various fields ever since have further hurt bilateral ties.去年11月，高市早苗在台湾问题上的表态触碰中方红线，致使中日关系持续走低。此后，其内阁在诸多领域接连出台针对中国的举措，更是让双边关系雪上加霜。While claiming to be advancing a mutually beneficial relationship and seeking a stable relationship with China, Tokyo simultaneously accelerates the revision of its national security strategy, expands military preparations targeting China, establishes quasi-alliance networks internationally against China, and tries to instigate proxy conflicts. Such moves will only further damage its credit and China-Japan relations.日本一边嘴上宣称要推进中日互惠合作、谋求双边关系稳定，一边加紧修订国家安全战略、扩充针对中国的军备建设、在国际上搭建反华准同盟体系，还蓄意煽动代理人冲突。这类行径只会不断透支自身信誉，持续破坏中日关系。Takaichi's relentless pursuit of a neo-militarist agenda, such as lifting the ban on the export of lethal weapons, has also contributed to her declining approval ratings, amid her failure to address the cost-of-living issues that are most concerning to ordinary Japanese people.高市早苗执意推行新军国主义议程（例如解除杀伤性武器出口禁令），加之无力解决日本民众最为关切的生活成本难题，其民众支持率持续下滑。Takaichi's exacerbation of both domestic and international challenges for Japan means it is only natural she should be losing public support, especially after more and more Japanese people see through her dangerous policy.高市早苗不断让日本深陷国内外双重困境，失去民众支持实属必然；如今越来越多日本民众已然看透其危险施政方针。Even as Takaichi claims to be repairing ties with China, Japanese media have revealed that right-wing forces in Japan are using paid recruits and large-scale AI-generated content to mass-produce disinformation, in a deliberate attempt to distort the history of Japan's aggression against China.即便高市早苗口口声声说要修复中日关系，日本媒体却披露：日本右翼势力雇佣写手、借助人工智能大规模编造虚假信息，蓄意歪曲日本侵华历史。To put China-Japan relations back on a stable track, the Takaichi government must abandon its neo-militarist trajectory, adopt a correct view of history and approach China's development with reason and restraint. To that end, it needs to move beyond rhetorical maneuvers. Such duplicity — saying one thing while doing another — will only continue to drain the credibility of the Takaichi government.想要让中日关系重回稳定发展轨道，高市内阁必须摒弃新军国主义发展路线，树立正确历史观，理性克制地看待中国发展。日方不能只停留在话术层面，言行不一的两面派做法只会持续消耗本届内阁的公信力。Tokyo has to demonstrate, through genuine action, a sincere commitment to regional peace and stability. Only then can it begin to rebuild the trust of its neighbors and the broader international community.日本唯有拿出实实在在的行动，展现维护地区和平稳定的诚意，才有可能重新赢得周边邻国以及国际社会的信任。rhetorical maneuvering /rɪˈtɒrɪkl məˈnuːvərɪŋ/话术博弈；言辞算计deflect /dɪˈflekt/转移（批评、指责）；转嫁ring hollow听上去空洞无物、缺乏诚意neo-militarist /ˌniːəʊ ˈmɪlɪtərɪst/新军国主义的duplicity /djuːˈplɪsəti/两面派；言行不一；口是心非exacerbation /ɪɡˌzæsəˈbeɪʃn/加剧；恶化

The US sanctioned 10 Chinese shipping companies on Wednesday that it claimed were transporting Iranian oil.美国周三制裁了10家中国航运公司，美方称这些公司一直在运输伊朗石油。The US State Department claimed that the companies, based in Hong Kong and the mainland, plus eight tankers, were operating against US sanctions on Iranian oil exports.美国国务院声称，这些注册地位于中国香港和内地的企业，外加八艘油轮，其运营行为违反了美国针对伊朗石油出口实施的制裁规定。The move effectively freezes the companies' assets in the US, and would prohibit US companies and individuals from doing business with them.这一举措实质上会冻结这些企业在美国的资产，并且禁止美国企业和个人与它们开展业务往来。The Foreign Ministry of China has consistently opposed illegal unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction" that lack a basis in international law and urged the US to halt such wrongful practices.中国外交部一贯反对没有国际法依据的非法单边制裁和“长臂管辖”，并敦促美方停止此类错误做法。"One day, the word of the day is 'ban'. The next day, the word of the day is 'block'. In effect, they mean the same: The US seems drunk with enthusiasm in its zeal to use such unilateral measures. Yet the more the White House keeps delivering the same message, the less interest people have," Anthony Moretti, an associate professor in the Communication and Organizational Leadership Department at Robert Morris University in Pennsylvania, told China Daily.宾夕法尼亚州罗伯特·莫里斯大学传播与组织领导力系副教授安东尼·莫雷蒂在接受《中国日报》采访时表示：“今天美方挂在嘴边的词是‘禁令’，第二天又换成‘封锁’，二者本质含义并无差别。美国近乎狂热地痴迷于动用这类单边措施。然而白宫越是反复宣扬这套说辞，外界就越感到倦怠。”"In effect, these bans and blocks offer the administration a sense of toughness, but that image is not what one international country after another thinks of the US right now. There appears to be no strategy to truly deal with these issues," Moretti said.莫雷蒂称：“事实上，各类禁令与封锁政策只会让本届政府自我标榜态度强硬，但如今世界各国眼中的美国早已不是这般模样。美方并未拿出能够真正解决相关问题的可行方案。”Two Iranian insurance companies — Persian Gulf Marine Insurance Company and Hormuz Safe Marine Services Authority — were also sanctioned after being accused of forcing commercial vessels to purchase maritime insurance if they want safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.两家伊朗保险公司也遭到制裁：波斯湾海上保险公司、霍尔木兹安全海事服务管理局。美方指控两家机构逼迫商船购买其海事保险，船只方可安全驶过霍尔木兹海峡。About 20 percent of the world's oil was transported through the Strait of Hormuz before hostilities between the US and Iran began on Feb 28. That has now slowed to a mere trickle.2月28日美伊敌对冲突爆发前，全球约20%的石油经由霍尔木兹海峡运送；如今这条航道的石油运输量已变得微乎其微。More than 100 tankers have now been sanctioned by the Trump administration for allegedly trying to break the US blockade on Iranian ports, a move designed to hurt Iran's economy.特朗普政府迄今已制裁逾百艘油轮，缘由是这些油轮涉嫌冲破美国对伊朗港口的封锁，美方此举旨在重创伊朗经济。unilateral /ˌjuːnɪˈlætərəl/单边的，单方面的jurisdiction /ˌdʒʊərɪsˈdɪkʃn/管辖权zeal /ziːl/狂热，热忱maritime /ˈmærɪtaɪm/海事的，海运的hostilities /hɒˈstɪlətiz/敌对行动，战事allegedly /əˈledʒɪdli/据称，涉嫌

Iran warns sustained naval pressure risks wider war as Oman advances strait plan伊朗警告：持续海上施压或将引发更大规模战争，阿曼推进海峡管控方案US President Donald Trump said on Monday that "very friendly negotiations" with Iran were underway and touted the US Navy's "good blockade", even as Tehran warned that a continuous naval blockade would amount to an expansion of the war.美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一称，美国正与伊朗进行“十分友好的谈判”，并夸赞美国海军实施的封锁举措成效良好；与此同时，德黑兰方面警告，持续海上封锁行为等同于扩大战事。Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters accused the US on Monday of threatening Iranian vessels, commercial ships and tankers in Iran's coastal and territorial waters over the past three days as part of an "illegal naval blockade".伊朗哈塔姆安比亚中央总部周一指责美国近三日在伊朗沿岸及领海水域，威胁伊朗船只、民用商船与油轮，实施非法海上封锁。"We warn that this American action is considered an expansion of war in the region," it said in a statement, adding that Iran's armed forces would respond to any threat posed by the US military.该机构在声明中表示：“我们警告，美方此举属于在中东地区扩大战争范畴”，并补充称伊朗武装部队将对美军带来的任何威胁予以回击。Trump also told US news outlet Axios that Washington was engaged in "very deep talks" with Tehran, but warned, "If they don't work out, we will go back to very strong military action."特朗普还向美国新闻网阿克西奥斯透露，华盛顿正与德黑兰展开深度磋商，但同时发出警告：“倘若谈判无果，美国将重启高强度军事行动。”Control of the Strait of Hormuz has remained a major point of contention since Iran and the US reached an interim memorandum of understanding last month, with tensions over the strategic waterway repeatedly fueling regional instability.自上月美伊达成临时谅解备忘录以来，霍尔木兹海峡的管控权一直是双方主要争端焦点，这条战略水道周边的紧张局势不断加剧，持续破坏地区稳定。Oman has proposed a joint regional mechanism for managing the strait with voluntary fees, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing a Gulf source.路透社周二援引海湾地区消息人士消息称，阿曼提议建立区域性联合海峡管控机制，并推行自愿缴费制度。The proposal, which reportedly has regional backing, would prevent Iran from exercising sole control over the waterway. It is modeled on the Strait of Malacca, where users voluntarily contribute to navigation, environmental protection and search-and-rescue efforts.据悉该提案已获得多国支持，旨在杜绝伊朗独自掌控这条航道。方案参照马六甲海峡管理模式设计：航道使用方自愿出资，用于航道通航维护、生态保护以及海上搜救工作。Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi held phone talks with his counterparts in Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iran to discuss ways to advance "practical, fair and sustainable understandings" on navigation and supply chain flows through the strait, Oman's Foreign Ministry said on Monday.阿曼外交部周一发布消息，阿曼外交大臣巴德尔同卡塔尔、科威特、沙特阿拉伯、埃及以及伊朗外长通电话，商议如何围绕海峡通航、供应链运输达成务实、公平且具备长效性的共识。The developments follow weekend talks between Iranian and Omani officials on navigation security, transit arrangements and sovereign rights, according to Tehran.伊朗方面表示，上述外交互动的背景是：上周末伊阿两国官员已就通航安全、过境安排以及国家主权事宜举行会谈。Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Washington for his eighth meeting with Trump since the US president began his second term, which is "more than any other international leader", according to Netanyahu's office.另一边，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡正在出访华盛顿，这是特朗普开启第二任期以来二人第八次会面；以色列总理办公室称，会面频次远超其他各国领导人。"We will discuss all the issues on the agenda, first and foremost, Iran," Netanyahu said before leaving for the US on Monday. "Naturally, our goal is to safeguard our security and also to expand the circle of peace around us."内塔尼亚胡周一启程赴美前表态：“我们将商讨所有议程议题，伊朗问题位列首位。我们的核心目标是保障以色列自身安全，同时不断扩大周边和平伙伴圈层。”Sujata Ashwarya, a professor at the Centre for West Asian Studies at Jamia Millia Islamia University in New Delhi, told China Daily that Netanyahu has little influence over when Washington launches attacks and is unlikely to use the meeting to press for it.新德里的贾米亚·米利亚伊斯兰教大学西亚研究中心教授苏雅塔·阿什瓦里亚接受《中国日报》采访时表示，内塔尼亚胡无法左右美国发动军事打击的时机，也难以借此次会晤敦促美方开战。"His purpose is to shape the terms of whatever settlement follows, which is where Israeli absence from the negotiations has cost most," Ashwarya said.阿什瓦里亚称：“内塔尼亚胡此行意在敲定后续任何和平协议的条款内容；以色列此前始终未能参与谈判，已经为此蒙受了诸多损失。”She explained that the interim US-Iran deal lacked any agreement on Israel's main sticking points: limits on Iran's ballistic missile program, preventing the rebuilding of its network of regional allies, and International Atomic Energy Agency inspections of nuclear sites.她解释道，美伊临时协议并未敲定以色列最为关切的几大分歧事项：限制伊朗弹道导弹研发计划、阻止伊朗重建地区盟友网络、允许国际原子能机构核查伊朗核设施。Ashwarya added that Netanyahu's departing remarks were "revealing".阿什瓦里亚补充说道，内塔尼亚胡临行前的一番话颇具深意，暴露了其真实诉求。A prime minister who measures a relationship in meetings cannot yet measure it in outcomes, she said.她表示：一位只能依靠会面次数来衡量双边关系的总理，尚且无法用实际成果印证两国情谊。"His stated goal also carries a second clause, expanding the circle of peace, and with Saudi normalization now attached to Washington's nuclear offer to Riyadh, that is where Israeli leverage actually sits," she said.“他宣称的目标包含两层含义，扩大和平圈层便是其二；当下沙特关系正常化事宜与美国向沙特提供核合作提议深度绑定，这恰恰是以色列手中最关键的筹码。”The two leaders want different things from the same war, she added. "Trump wants closure he can present as an achievement; Netanyahu wants Iranian recovery prevented, which is served by keeping options open."她最后指出，两位领导人对于这场冲突抱有截然不同的诉求：特朗普希望结束争端，并将停战包装成自身执政政绩；内塔尼亚胡则意图遏制伊朗国力复苏，而保留一切军事选项最有利于实现这一目的。tout /taʊt/大肆宣扬；吹捧；标榜contention /kənˈtenʃn/争端；争执；争论焦点interim /ˈɪntərɪm/临时的；过渡性的memorandum /ˌmeməˈrændəm/备忘录ballistic /bəˈlɪstɪk/弹道的leverage /ˈliːvərɪdʒ/影响力；筹码；优势

Japanese mystery writer Keigo Higashino passed away on July 23 at the age of 68. Following the announcement on Monday, readers in China, his largest overseas market, took to social media to express their sorrow and pay tribute to his literary legacy.日本推理作家东野圭吾于7月23日离世，享年68岁。周一其离世消息公布后，中国作为他最大的海外受众市场，大批读者纷纷登上社交媒体抒发哀思，缅怀他留下的文学财富。Soon after the news was announced, Higashino's representative works — The Miracles of the Namiya General Store, Journey Under the Midnight Sun, Malice and The Devotion of Suspect X — entered the top 10 most-searched titles on WeRead, one of China's leading e-book platforms.噩耗传出不久，东野圭吾的代表作《解忧杂货店》《白夜行》《恶意》《嫌疑人X的献身》悉数登上国内主流电子书平台微信读书热搜榜单前十位。Higashino began his writing career in 1985 with the mystery novel After School, which won the prestigious Edogawa Rampo Prize. By the time of his final novel, Eternal Memory, which is scheduled to be published on Aug 5, he had authored 106 books.1985年，东野圭吾凭借推理小说《放学后》斩获极具含金量的江户川乱步奖，自此开启写作生涯。他的收官之作《永恒的记忆》定于8月5日出版，至此一生累计创作106部作品。By 2023, his works had sold more than 100 million copies in Japan and been translated into 37 languages, reaching readers in more than 41 countries and regions. International sales totaled 68 million copies, with China emerging as his largest overseas market, with sales of nearly 50 million copies.截至2023年，其作品在日本本土销量破亿，被译为37种语言，流传至41个以上国家和地区；海外总销量达6800万册，其中中国是他最大海外市场，销量接近5000万册。Chinese publisher Thinkingdom Media, known for its mystery titles, has published 52 of Higashino's books, with combined sales exceeding 23 million copies. The simplified Chinese edition of The Miracles of the Namiya General Store, released in 2014, sold more than 10 million copies within four years, while Journey Under the Midnight Sun sold more than nine million copies.国内专注悬疑推理书籍出版的新经典文化，一共引进出版了52部东野圭吾作品，合计销量超2300万册。2014年推出简体中文版《解忧杂货店》，四年销量突破1000万册；《白夜行》简体版销量也逾900万册。In 2017, Higashino earned 22 million yuan ($3.1 million) in royalties from China, surpassing British author J. K. Rowling, creator of the Harry Potter series, to become the country's highest-earning foreign writer that year. He topped the list of the richest foreign authors in China for three consecutive years from 2017 to 2019, with royalties of 42 million yuan in 2018 and 30 million yuan in 2019.2017年，东野圭吾在中国斩获2200万元人民币版税（折合310万美元），超越《哈利·波特》作者英国作家J.K.罗琳，登顶当年中国版税收入最高外籍作家。2017至2019年，他连续三年蝉联中国外籍作家版税榜榜首：2018年版税4200万元，2019年为3000万元。Many Chinese readers shared memories of discovering his works and the impact they had on their lives.无数中国读者追忆初次读到他作品的过往，诉说这些文字给自己人生带来的深远影响。A reader using the screen name Lakuda recalled first reading Higashino's novels in junior middle school.一位网名为拉库达的读者回忆，自己初中时第一次接触东野圭吾的小说。"You have put down your pen, but the gentleness, clarity and empathy you left to millions of readers will remain in the world forever. Thank you for accompanying me throughout my youth," the reader wrote.读者留言写道：“您已然搁笔，但您留给万千读者的温柔、通透与共情力，会永远留存世间。谢谢你，陪伴我走过整个青春。”Chinese mystery writer Zijin Chen reposted the news on Sina Weibo, saying The Devotion of Suspect X introduced him to detective fiction.国内推理作家紫金陈在新浪微博转发了离世消息，表示正是《嫌疑人X的献身》，让他踏入了侦探小说的世界。"I read it in 2012. It was my first encounter with detective fiction, and it inspired me to start writing my own novels. I'm shocked by the sudden news and feel a deep sense of loss," he wrote.他撰文：“我2012年读完这本书，这是我人生第一部侦探小说，也促使我提笔开始创作。骤然听闻噩耗，万分错愕，满心怅然。”Another Weibo user, AnniweianVivian, commented under a China Central Television news post to highlight how Higashino's novels use intricate suspense as a framework while exploring the complexity of human nature through love, hatred, choices and obsession.微博网友AnniweianVivian在央视相关新闻下留言点评：东野圭吾的小说以精巧缜密的悬念为骨架，借爱恨、抉择与执念，深挖人性的复杂百态。"I deeply admire Higashino's works, including Mysterious Night and The Miracles of the Namiya General Store, and will always treasure them," the user wrote.该网友写道：“我由衷喜爱他的《幻夜》《解忧杂货店》等作品，会永远珍藏这份阅读回忆。”Another reader, Wangdaotie-Barry, thanked Higashino for creating "such profound emotional worlds".另有网友王道铁·巴里致谢东野圭吾，感念他构筑出一个个意蕴深厚的情感世界。"Journey Under the Midnight Sun drew me into the world of mystery fiction.

China's largest memory chipmaker made a blockbuster debut on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's STAR Market on Monday as experts pointed to growing signs of a structural bull run in the A-share market.国内规模最大的存储芯片企业周一在上交所科创板重磅上市，业内专家表示，A 股市场结构性牛市信号愈发清晰。In the Chinese mainland's biggest initial public stock offering in recent years, shares of ChangXin Memory Technologies, or CXMT, surged 465.82 percent to close at 49 yuan per share, propelling its market value to more than 3 trillion yuan ($443 billion) and making it the most valuable company on the A-share market on its first trading day.此次上市为内地近年来规模最大的首次公开发行。长鑫存储技术有限公司（简称长鑫存储）股价暴涨 465.82%，收盘报 49 元每股，总市值突破 3 万亿元人民币（折合 4430 亿美元），上市首日登顶 A 股市值第一。CXMT not only overtook the United States peer Intel in market value, but also dethroned the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China as the domestic market's top-weighted company.长鑫存储市值不仅超越美国同行英特尔，还取代中国工商银行，成为 A 股市值权重最高企业。The company raised at least $8.6 billion with the offering, priced at 8.66 yuan per share.本次发行定价 8.66 元 / 股，企业募资规模至少 86 亿美元。The feverish trading was underscored by a record-shattering 140-billion yuan single-day turnover, reflecting a strong investor appetite for high-tech domestic champions as China presses ahead with its push for technological self-reliance.该股单日成交额高达 1400 亿元，创下历史新高，交易热度空前。当前我国持续推进科技自立自强，投资者对国产高科技龙头企业投资意愿强烈。Wu Hao, a portfolio manager at Founder Fubon Fund, said that CXMT's IPO completes the most critical piece of a puzzle for the A-share market's memory sector.方正富邦基金组合经理吴昊表示，长鑫存储登陆 A 股，补齐了 A 股存储板块最核心的一块短板。"It gives China its first homegrown DRAM powerhouse with global heft, sharpening the investment case across the memory value chain," he said.“长鑫存储打造出我国首家具备全球竞争力的本土动态随机存取存储龙头，整条存储产业链的投资价值都得到提升。” 他说道。From equipment and materials to design, manufacturing and packaging, the story of CXMT is now shifting from concept validation to earnings realization, he added.他补充道，从设备材料、芯片设计、晶圆制造到封装测试，长鑫存储的发展逻辑已从技术验证阶段转向盈利兑现阶段。DRAM, or dynamic random access memory, is the main type of memory that computers and servers use to run programs and process data in real time.DRAM 即动态随机存取存储器，是电脑、服务器实时运行程序、处理数据的主流存储芯片。With artificial intelligence-driven demand on the rise, the market is at the starting point of a new memory cycle in which the demand for memory chips will be substantially boosted given the rollout of more AI models and applications, said experts at Sinolink Securities.国金证券专家表示，人工智能拉动存储需求持续攀升，存储行业正式开启新一轮上行周期；随着各类人工智能模型与应用落地，存储芯片需求将大幅增长。Analysts at Huaxi Securities estimated that CXMT's market cap may stabilize at 2 to 3 trillion yuan in a base-case scenario, with upside to 4 trillion yuan under bullish assumptions.华西证券分析师测算，中性预期下，长鑫存储总市值有望稳定在 2 万亿至 3 万亿元；乐观情景下，市值有望冲击 4 万亿元。But the real significance lies beyond the numbers. By filling the long-missing gap of a homegrown DRAM manufacturing heavyweight, the listing is set to upend the skewed valuation framework of the A-share memory segment and, in the long run, reshape the entire semiconductor sector's pricing logic, they said.分析师表示，此次上市的深层意义远不止市值数据。长鑫存储填补了我国长期缺失的本土 DRAM 制造龙头空白，将重构 A 股存储板块失衡的估值体系，长期来看重塑整个半导体行业估值定价逻辑。Donnie Teng, a semiconductor and tech research analyst at Nomura, gave CXMT a buy rating and a 116-yuan target, projecting its global DRAM market share to rise from about 10 percent at present to 18 percent by the end of 2028.野村证券半导体科技行业分析师滕栋尼给予长鑫存储 “买入” 评级，目标价 116 元。其预测，2028 年末，长鑫存储全球 DRAM 市场份额将从当前约 10% 提升至 18%。CXMT's annual output growth is estimated at between 40 and 45 percent as AI will drive a sevenfold surge in global memory demand by 2030.机构预测，长鑫存储年产量增速将维持在 40% 至 45%；到 2030 年，人工智能将推动全球存储芯片需求增长 7 倍。Lu Zhe, chief economist at Soochow Securities, said that A-share investors' appetite for tech companies may pick up after CXMT's IPO.东吴证券首席经济学家陆哲表示，长鑫存储上市后，A 股市场资金对科技企业的投资热情或将回暖。Combined with the fact that a growing number of companies have recently announced their buyback plans, investors should adopt a more optimistic outlook on the A-share market.叠加近期多家上市公司发布股份回购计划，投资者对 A 股后市可保持更为乐观的判断。Though market volatility may be unavoidable, the odds of a market rebound are steadily rising, he said.他表示，市场短期波动虽难以避免，但整体反弹的概率正在持续提升。In a separate development, Fang Xinghai, a former vice-chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, is under investigation for suspected serious violations of Party discipline and the law, China's top anti-graft authorities said on Friday.国家纪检监察机关周五通报，中国证券监督管理委员会原副主席方星海涉嫌严重违纪违法，目前正接受审查调查。Experts broadly read the move as a signal that the financial anti-corruption drive is entering a deeper phase, aimed at protecting the country's financial assets while upholding market integrity and stability.业内专家普遍认为，此次查处释放信号，金融领域反腐败工作持续向纵深推进，在维护资本市场公平稳定的同时，守护国家金融资产安全。Lian Ping, chairman of the China Chief Economist Forum, said that a new long-term stabilizing mechanism is taking shape in the Chinese capital market, featuring broader participation, early capital entry, institutional fine-tuning and long-term confidence stabilization.中国首席经济学家论坛理事长连平表示，我国资本市场全新长效稳定机制正在逐步成型，核心特征包括市场参与主体多元化、长期资金前置入市、机构体系优化调整、市场长期信心稳固。The A-share market has entered a structural bull run with the optimizing of the market governance mechanism. With more supportive policies and capital anticipated, investors should have faith in the A-share market, as the valuation of technology companies will return to a reasonable level, said Lian.连平称，随着资本市场治理机制持续完善，A 股已步入结构性牛市。后续利好政策与增量资金有望持续落地，科技企业估值将回归合理区间，投资者应当对 A 股市场保持信心。"New quality productive forces and technological innovation, which play pivotal roles in China's economic restructuring, need the empowerment of equity financing. This is the fundamental reason underpinning the sustained upward trajectory of the A-share market over the long run," he said.他表示：“新质生产力与科技创新是我国经济结构转型的核心抓手，二者离不开股权融资的赋能支撑。这也是 A 股市场长期具备上行基础的根本原因。”semiconductor /ˌsemikənˈdʌktə(r)/n. 半导体valuation /ˌvæljuˈeɪʃn/n. 估值；估价structural /ˈstrʌktʃərəl/adj. 结构性的innovation /ˌɪnəˈveɪʃn/n. 创新；革新

China has called for a comprehensive, objective and fair view of capacity issues, warning that protectionism would pose long-term risks to global growth, according to a document released by the Ministry of Commerce on Tuesday.周二，商务部发布一份文件称，中方呼吁全面、客观、公正看待产能问题，并警示保护主义将给全球经济增长带来长期风险。Titled "China's Position on the So-called Excess Capacity Issue", the document was issued to clarify relevant facts and set out China's policy stance on the matter, the ministry said.商务部表示，这份文件题为《关于所谓产能过剩问题的中方立场》，发布该文件旨在厘清相关事实，阐明中方在此问题上的政策立场。The rapid development of China's modern industries has been driven by innovation, while continued reform has underpinned their steady and sound performance, the document said.文件指出，中国现代产业的快速发展依靠创新驱动，持续深化改革为产业平稳健康发展筑牢根基。China's modern industrial development represents a "China Opportunity 2.0" for the world, rather than a "China Shock 2.0", it added.文件补充道，中国现代产业发展带给世界的是 “中国机遇 2.0”，而非所谓 “中国冲击 2.0”。Capacity issues should be viewed in their historical context and from a dialectical perspective, it said, calling on countries to uphold openness and cooperation, pursue mutual benefit and win-win outcomes and work together to resolve differences.文件称，看待产能问题应当立足历史背景、坚持辩证视角，呼吁各国坚持开放合作、追求互利共赢，携手化解分歧。Protectionism, by contrast, would only disrupt the global economic and trade order, undermine the security and stability of global industrial and supply chains, and hinder the sound and orderly development of industrial cooperation, the ministry warned.商务部警示，与之相反，保护主义只会扰乱全球经贸秩序，破坏全球产业链供应链安全稳定，阻碍产业合作健康有序发展。capacity /kəˈpæsəti/n. 产能；容量protectionism /prəˈtekʃənɪzəm/n. 保护主义dialectical /ˌdaɪəˈlektɪkl/adj. 辩证的industrial /ɪnˈdʌstriəl/adj. 工业的；产业的

China's summer travel rush is in full swing.国内暑期出行热潮全面开启。The national railway operator expects to handle 1.01 billion passenger trips over 62 days, and aviation bookings have hit new highs.国家铁路集团预计，62 天暑运期间旅客发送量将达 10.1 亿人次，民航机票预订量也创下新高。Beyond the sheer numbers, the boom is reshaping the country's cultural tourism landscape.除去亮眼的数据，这场出行热潮正在重塑国内文旅产业格局。In the first three days since the rush began on July 1, national railways carried more than 38 million passengers, according to China State Railway Group.据中国国家铁路集团有限公司消息，7 月 1 日暑运启动后的前三天，全国铁路累计发送旅客超 3800 万人次。Aviation data platform Umetrip showed over 27 million domestic flight bookings for July as of July 6, up 89 percent from a week earlier.民航数据平台航旅纵横数据显示，截至 7 月 6 日，7 月国内机票预订量超 2700 万张，较一周前增长 89%。International bookings exceeded 5.9 million, up 19 percent.国际机票预订量超 590 万张，同比上涨 19%。On July 5, travel platform Qunar recorded searches for summer flights doubling from the previous day, setting a new daily record for the season.7 月 5 日，旅游平台去哪儿网暑期航班搜索量较前一日翻倍，创下暑期单日搜索新高。The real story is not how many people are traveling, but where they are heading.本次出行热潮的核心看点不在于出行人次，而在于游客的目的地选择。Incremental traffic is flowing more to smaller cities rather than traditional tourism hubs.新增客流更多流向中小城市，而非传统热门旅游城市。Flight bookings to Qinhuangdao in Hebei province surged 2.2 times, while Yili, in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, emerged as the top self-drive destination with popularity up 6.5 times, according to Qunar.去哪儿网数据显示，飞往河北秦皇岛的机票预订量暴涨 2.2 倍；新疆伊犁成为热门自驾目的地，搜索热度大涨 6.5 倍。Airlines have responded by adding routes to match the shift.各大航司顺势增开航线，适配游客出行方向的变化。China Eastern Airlines has increased Shanghai-Urumqi round-trip flights by 51 percent and seating capacity by 30 percent.东方航空将上海往返乌鲁木齐的航班班次提升 51%，运力提升 30%。After its Shanghai-Yining route was relocated to the Hongqiao hub, flight frequency surged 130 percent year-on-year and now operates daily.东航上海至伊宁航线调整至虹桥机场起降后，航班班次同比大增 130%，现已实现每日一班。"Unlike the rapid recovery period of the past two years, this summer rush marks civil aviation's transition from full recovery to high-quality development. The market logic is shifting from competing on capacity to competing on efficiency," said an expert with flight data platform Flight Manager.航班数据平台飞常准相关专家表示：“和前两年行业快速复苏阶段不同，今年暑运标志着民航业从全面复苏转向高质量发展。市场竞争逻辑也从比拼运力，转变为比拼运营效率。”What draws travelers to these lesser-known places is increasingly cultural rather than scenic.吸引游客奔赴小众目的地的核心驱动力，正从自然风光转向人文底蕴。Searches for intangible cultural heritage destinations rose 71 percent from the previous month as of June 12, according to travel platform Tongcheng, which noted that travelers are flocking to Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province, Quanzhou in Fujian province and Dali in Yunnan province, drawn by the idea of "traveling to a city for a craft".旅游平台同程旅行数据显示，截至 6 月 12 日，非遗文化目的地搜索量较上月上涨 71%。平台表示，不少游客秉持 “为一门手艺奔赴一座城” 的想法，前往江西景德镇、福建泉州、云南大理等地游玩。Research tours have evolved from sightseeing to immersion, with industrial tourism searches surging 2.3 times, according to Qunar.去哪儿网数据显示，研学旅行已从走马观花式观光转变为深度沉浸式体验，工业旅游相关搜索量暴涨 2.3 倍。Regional carriers are tapping the trend: China Express Airlines has launched themed products including Silk Road research tours in Dunhuang and Jiayuguan in Gansu province, and red tourism routes in Yan'an, Shaanxi province, while Juneyao Airlines has resumed flights to cultural destinations like Dunhuang, Jiayuguan and Xining.多家支线航空企业抢抓这一市场热潮：华夏航空推出多款主题研学产品，包含甘肃敦煌、嘉峪关丝路研学线路，以及陕西延安红色旅游专线；吉祥航空则恢复了飞往敦煌、嘉峪关、西宁等文化旅游目的地的航线。"Travelers increasingly value the experience itself, and airlines are responding with differentiated products that weave local culture into the journey," said Li Xiaojin, director of the Aviation Economics and Improvement Research Institute at Civil Aviation University of China.中国民航大学航空经济与优化研究所所长李晓津表示：“如今游客愈发看重出行体验本身，各大航司也顺势推出差异化产品，将各地特色文化融入旅途之中。”Active policy support underpins this cultural turn.文旅出行的转型离不开政策的大力扶持。In June, eight government departments, including the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, issued joint measures to promote rail-tourism integration and expand service consumption.今年 6 月，商务部、文化和旅游部等八部门联合出台举措，推动铁路与旅游深度融合，扩大服务消费。Themed tourist trains are now running regularly. These include a panda-themed train through Sichuan province, a "Yangtze Delta Star" route, and a "Yichun" forest wellness train to Heilongjiang province, among others, China Railway announced.国铁集团介绍，多款主题旅游列车现已常态化开行，其中包括穿行四川的熊猫主题列车、“长三角之星” 旅游专列，以及开往黑龙江伊春的森林康养专列等。The fusion extends to aviation as well. "Many airlines have shifted from focusing solely on trunk routes to coordinating trunk and branch services, and from pure price competition to differentiated products and services," Li said.文旅融合的趋势同样延伸至民航领域。李晓津表示：“不少航司不再单一布局干线航线，转而统筹干线与支线网络；行业竞争也摆脱单纯的价格战，转向差异化产品与服务比拼。”The reshaping extends beyond China's borders. The outbound market is surging, and the FIFA World Cup 2026 co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico provided an extra boost.文旅市场格局的重塑同样延伸至境外游领域。出境游市场热度持续攀升，由美国、加拿大、墨西哥联合承办的 2026 年国际足联世界杯进一步拉动出境出行需求。China Southern Airlines now operates seven North American routes with 38 weekly flights to meet demand.为匹配市场需求，南方航空现已开通 7 条北美航线，每周执行 38 班航班。immersion /ɪˈmɜːʃn/n. 沉浸式体验；沉浸capacity /kəˈpæsəti/n. 运力；容量integration /ˌɪntɪˈɡreɪʃn/n. 融合；一体化outbound /ˈaʊtbaʊnd/adj. 出境的；向外的

Typhoon Noul slammed into the coastal city of Huizhou in Guangdong province in the early hours of Sunday morning, bringing violent winds and torrential rain that flooded streets, toppled trees and billboards, disrupted transportation and forced the evacuation of more than 801,000 residents.上周日凌晨，台风红霞正面登陆广东省沿海城市惠州，狂风暴雨造成城区街道积水、树木与广告牌倒伏、交通全面受阻，当地紧急转移安置群众超 80.1 万人中央气象台。Noul, the 12th typhoon of the year, is the first typhoon to make landfall in Guangdong this year. So far, it is also the strongest typhoon to hit China this year and the most powerful to strike areas east of the Pearl River Estuary in the past decade.台风红霞是 2026 年第 12 号台风，也是今年首个登陆广东的台风。该台风为今年登陆我国强度最高的台风，同时是近十年来侵袭珠江口以东区域最强台风。The typhoon battered the cities of Huizhou, Shanwei and Shenzhen in eastern Guangdong with strong gales and heavy downpours, damaging infrastructure and causing widespread economic losses.台风裹挟狂风暴雨持续肆虐粤东惠州、汕尾、深圳三市，大量基础设施受损，区域经济损失严重。Fifteen of the hardest-hit cities suspended classes, construction, production, transportation and business operations to mitigate the risk of accidents and casualties. Authorities also ordered all offshore workers to return to shore and required fishing vessels to seek shelter as of Saturday.为降低人员伤亡与安全事故风险，15 个受灾严重城市实行停课、停工、停产、停运、停业。相关部门已于周六下达指令，要求全部海上作业人员上岸避险、渔船回港避风。More than 801,000 residents living in low-lying areas were evacuated ahead of the typhoon's landfall. Emergency response measures were activated in 135 districts and counties across the province's 19 prefecture-level cities.台风登陆前，低洼地带超 80.1 万名群众完成转移避险。全省 19 个地级市共计 135 个区县全部启动应急响应。At 5:13 am on Sunday, emergency workers waded through floodwaters in Huizhou's Ruhu township to remove fallen trees and other debris, clearing the way for an ambulance transporting a pregnant woman to a hospital for delivery, according to local authorities.当地应急管理部门通报，周日凌晨 5 时 13 分，惠州汝湖镇应急救援人员蹚过积水路段，清理倒伏树木、杂物，为运送待产孕妇的救护车打通救援通道。At a village in Shanwei, rescuers and firefighters evacuated 27 elderly residents and children after floodwaters inundated the community early on Sunday.周日清晨，汕尾一处村落被洪水淹没，救援队员与消防人员紧急转移村内 27 名老人与孩童。Xie Yutong, an office worker in Huizhou's Huicheng district, said she had never experienced such intense rainfall.惠州市惠城区上班族谢雨桐表示，自己从未遭遇过如此猛烈的暴雨。"Rainwater rushed into my home through the balcony," said Xie, adding that residents had been advised to avoid non-essential travel.“雨水顺着阳台灌进家中。” 谢雨桐介绍，此前有关部门已提醒居民非必要不外出。Deng Li, a volunteer, described stepping forward to assist residents during critical moments as his bounden duty.志愿者邓力表示，危难时刻挺身而出、帮扶受灾群众，是自己义不容辞的责任。The typhoon also severely disrupted transportation. China Railway Guangzhou Group adjusted or suspended all high-speed and conventional rail services beginning on Saturday, while widespread flight delays and cancellations were reported at airports in Guangzhou and Shenzhen over the weekend.台风造成交通运行严重受阻。自周六起，中国铁路广州局调整、停运全部高铁及普速列车；周末期间，广州白云机场、深圳宝安机场大量航班延误、取消。As of 10 am on Sunday, China Southern, China Eastern, Hainan Airlines and Shenzhen Airlines had canceled a total of 377 arriving and departing flights.截至周日上午 10 时，南方航空、东方航空、海南航空、深圳航空累计取消进出港航班 377 班。Ye Menglong, a meteorological analyst with Weather China, said unusually high sea surface temperatures in the South China Sea fueled Noul's rapid intensification before landfall, allowing it to strike Guangdong at severe typhoon strength. However, he warned that landfall does not mean the danger has passed.中国天气网气象分析师叶梦龙分析，南海海域海面温度异常偏高，促使台风红霞登陆前快速增强，以强台风级别登陆广东。他同时警示，台风登陆并不代表风险解除。"Combined with monsoon moisture transport, coastal areas in eastern Guangdong will continue to be battered by torrential rain, with parts of Heyuan, Meizhou, Chaozhou, Jieyang, Shanwei and Huizhou expected to experience extreme rainfall in the coming days," Ye said.叶梦龙表示：“叠加季风水汽输送，粤东沿海地区仍将持续遭遇暴雨侵袭，未来数日，河源、梅州、潮州、揭阳、汕尾、惠州多地将出现特大暴雨。”Guangdong authorities have urged cities and relevant departments to make every effort to combat the disaster, placing the protection of lives and property as the top priority.广东省相关部门要求各地市、各职能部门全力开展防汛救灾工作，将保障人民群众生命财产安全放在首位。They called for continuous inspections to identify safety risks and timely and decisive evacuations.各地需持续开展安全隐患排查，一旦发现险情，及时果断组织群众转移避险。According to the provincial department of water resources, 261 reservoirs across the province had discharged a combined 697 million cubic meters of water on Saturday to increase flood-control storage capacity.广东省水利厅数据显示，周六全省 261 座水库合计泄洪 6.97 亿立方米，腾出库容提升防洪调蓄能力。Meanwhile, the National Development and Reform Commission allocated 100 million yuan ($14.7 million) in emergency funding to support Guangdong's post-typhoon recovery.国家发展和改革委员会紧急下达 1 亿元人民币（折合 1470 万美元）救灾专项资金，专项用于广东省台风过后灾后恢复重建工作。Noul is expected to move northwest at 10 to 15 kilometers per hour, pass through central Guangdong, enter southern Hunan province in the early hours of Monday and gradually weaken.预计台风红霞将以每小时 10 至 15 公里的速度向西北方向移动，途经广东中部，于周一凌晨进入湖南南部，随后强度逐步减弱。torrential /təˈrenʃl/adj. 暴雨倾泻的，猛烈的evacuation /ɪˌvækjuˈeɪʃn/n. 人员疏散，转移安置infrastructure /ˈɪnfrəstrʌktʃə(r)/n. 基础设施reconstruction /ˌriːkənˈstrʌkʃn/n. 灾后重建，恢复

There is now a division in the artificial intelligence development track.Closed-source or open-weight?当下人工智能发展赛道出现路线分歧。是闭源路线，还是开源权重路线？The choice of AI model is really a choice between two opposing paradigms — on innovation, regulation and who gets a share of the AI pie.人工智能模型的选择，本质上是两种完全对立发展范式的抉择，关乎创新、监管，也决定着谁能分得人工智能产业的红利蛋糕。The closed-source model seeks to build technical barriers relying on exclusive model weights, locking the dividends of AI progress within a handful of enterprises.闭源模型依靠独家模型权重构筑技术壁垒，将人工智能技术进步带来的红利牢牢垄断在少数企业手中。Companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic have adopted this path.开放人工智能研究中心、安索皮克等企业均选择了这条发展道路。While this model may deliver quick profits, it shrinks room for innovation and weakens competition.这种模式虽能快速变现盈利，却会压缩创新空间、削弱行业良性竞争。On the other hand, the core value of open-weight models lies in inclusiveness and cooperation.与之相对，开源权重模型的核心价值在于包容与协作。For the industry, such models can break technological monopolies, and make AI more accessible to small and medium-sized businesses, unleashing innovation across different sectors.对整个行业而言，这类模型能够打破技术垄断，让中小企业也能便捷使用人工智能技术，释放各行各业的创新活力。Most Chinese AI models are open-weight, an approach that is a major driver of AI development in China.国内绝大多数人工智能模型均采用开源权重模式，这一发展思路也是推动我国人工智能产业发展的核心动力。This has led some United States policymakers to tighten oversight of foreign open-weight AI models after Kimi K3 was launched this month.本月 Kimi K3 模型发布后，美国部分政策制定者开始收紧对境外开源权重人工智能模型的监管。Some have even proposed requiring built-in "kill switches" so that the US government can shut down these systems remotely if they are considered a "national security risk".部分人士甚至提议，要求这类模型内置 “远程关停开关”，一旦美方认定相关系统存在 “国家安全风险”，美国政府便可远程关停。A group of 25 US high-tech enterprises, including Nvidia, Microsoft, IBM and Meta published a joint letter on Friday calling on the US administration not to impose restrictions on open-weight AI models.英伟达、微软、国际商业机器公司、元宇宙平台公司等 25 家美国高科技企业于周五发布联名信，呼吁美国政府不要对开源权重人工智能模型实施限制措施。The letter stresses that open-weight AI models are safer than closed ones, and keeping AI models open is essential for the US' national security, economic competitiveness and innovation.联名信着重指出，开源权重人工智能模型的安全性优于闭源模型，维持人工智能模型开源，对美国的国家安全、经济竞争力与技术创新至关重要。The collective call for openness and transparency in AI development in the letter reflects a rational assessment of the industrial reality.联名信中一众企业共同呼吁人工智能发展保持开放透明，这一诉求是基于产业现实做出的理性判断。There is growing consensus among major stakeholders that the long-term competitiveness of AI stems from a thriving open ecosystem, rather than technological monopolies of certain entities, as technological restrictions will inevitably harm the AI ecosystem and an insular approach hinders technological breakthroughs and industrial upgrading.行业各大利益相关方日渐达成共识：人工智能产业的长期竞争力源自繁荣的开源生态，而非少数主体的技术垄断。技术限制举措势必损害人工智能产业生态，封闭保守的发展模式也会阻碍技术突破与产业升级。But for a long time, some US politicians have viewed AI advancements as exclusive competition, attempting to erect technical barriers through tech blockades and access restrictions.但长期以来，美国部分政客始终将人工智能技术发展视作零和博弈，试图通过技术封锁、权限限制等手段构筑技术壁垒。Yet facts have proven again that scientific and technological progress never follows a zero-sum logic.但事实一再证明，科技进步从来不存在零和博弈的逻辑。In reality, Chinese AI breakthroughs have delivered tangible benefits to US companies, primarily through cost savings and open-source accessibility.事实上，我国人工智能领域的技术突破已经为美国企业带来实实在在的利好，核心体现在降低使用成本、提供开源可用技术两方面。Data cited by CNBC show that the share of tokens used by US companies on Chinese AI models through OpenRouter — a platform that gives developers access to a wide range of models — has remained above 30 percent each week since February, reaching as high as 46 percent.美国消费者新闻与商业频道援引数据显示，自今年 2 月起，美国企业通过 OpenRouter（一款可供开发者调用多款人工智能模型的平台）调用国产人工智能模型的字符占比，每周均稳定超过 30%，最高达到 46%。Chinese open-weight models — which offer competitive capability at roughly one-fifth the cost — have become a practical choice for US businesses.国产开源权重模型以仅为同类产品五分之一左右的成本提供具备竞争力的技术能力，已然成为美国企业的实用选择。As AI models integrate ever faster into diverse industries, daily life and social systems, competition is no longer defined solely by raw technical performance, but hinges on ecosystems.随着人工智能模型加速融入各行各业、日常生活与各类社会体系，行业竞争不再单纯比拼原始技术性能，核心较量转向产业生态。Once a large and vibrant ecosystem takes root, it fuels faster, broader technological iterations through real-world feedback and data.一旦形成规模庞大、活力充沛的产业生态，依托真实场景反馈与海量数据，便能推动技术更快、更广地迭代升级。Thus, the path to sustainable AI development lies not in hoarding proprietary advantages, but in nurturing open, collaborative ecosystems that accelerate collective progress.由此可见，人工智能产业可持续发展之路，不在于囤积专属技术优势，而在于培育开放协作的产业生态，以此推动全行业共同进步。This is precisely where China's AI development path finds its footing.这正是我国人工智能发展道路立足的核心逻辑。Guided by the principles of openness and security, it systematically advances the AI Plus initiative across critical domains.我国秉持开放与安全并重的发展原则，在各重点领域系统性推进 “人工智能 +” 行动。China's AI policy is designed to ensure that the dividends of AI innovation are shared broadly across society and contribute to the collective interests of different countries.我国人工智能相关政策的核心目标，是让人工智能创新红利广泛惠及全社会，同时助力各国实现共同利益。For AI to truly serve the common good of humanity, its global development must move beyond zero-sum competition and toward inclusive cooperation.想要让人工智能真正造福全人类，全球人工智能产业发展必须跳出零和竞争思维，走向包容协作的全新发展格局。paradigm /ˈpærədaɪm/n. 范式；范例monopoly /məˈnɒpəli/n. 垄断；独占ecosystem /ˈiːkəʊsɪstəm/n. 生态系统inclusive /ɪnˈkluːsɪv/adj. 包容的；兼收并蓄的

As artificial intelligence evolves into a core driver of global industrial competition, China's strong power supply system and its forward-looking computing-electricity synergy strategy will give it an unparalleled edge in rolling out AI infrastructure, according to experts, corporate executives and on-the-ground evidence.专家、企业高管及实地证据表明，随着人工智能发展成为全球产业竞争的核心驱动力，中国强大的电力供应体系及其前瞻性的算电协同战略，将为其部署AI基础设施提供无与伦比的优势。Zhang Qin, former deputy chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology and fellow of International Academy of Artificial Intelligence Sciences, said that "AI is creating an explosive demand for energy, and the solution lies in safe, reliable and green power. China has great strength in that area".中国科协原副主席、国际人工智能科学院院士张勤表示，“人工智能正在催生爆炸性的能源需求，解决方案在于安全、可靠且绿色的电力。中国在这一领域拥有强大实力”。"Apart from solar and wind power, nuclear energy can also be a crucial power supply for data centers if safety is guaranteed. This is a technological frontier to be conquered rather than a barrier to AI adoption," Zhang told China Daily on the sidelines of the recent World Internet of Things Top 500 Summit in Beijing.张勤在近日于北京举行的世界物联网500强峰会期间接受《中国日报》采访时表示：“除了风能和太阳能，核能若安全保障到位，同样可以成为数据中心的关键电力来源。这是一个有待攻克的技术前沿，而非AI应用的障碍。”The comments came as China embraces AI with open arms. The value of its core AI industries exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan ($177 billion) last year, maintaining annual growth of more than 20 percent for several consecutive years, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.这些言论正值中国全力拥抱AI之际。据工业和信息化部数据，去年中国核心AI产业产值超过1.2万亿元人民币（约合1770亿美元），连续数年保持20%以上的年增长率。Furthermore, the country is turning AI into real-world applications and a driver of economic growth. In the first half of this year, China's industrial output of AI-related sectors, including integrated circuit manufacturing and in-vehicle intelligent equipment manufacturing, grew more than 30 percent year-on-year.此外，中国正将AI转化为实际应用和经济增长的驱动力。今年上半年，中国集成电路制造、车载智能设备制造等AI相关产业的工业产值同比增长超过30%。Wei Zhigang, chairman of CNNC Hainan Nuclear Power Co, said that as AI triggers unprecedented global demand for computing power, "the ultimate constraint has become clear: the need for vast, stable electricity supplies".中核集团海南核电有限公司董事长魏志刚表示，随着人工智能引发全球对算力的空前需求，“最终的约束已变得清晰：对庞大而稳定电力供应的需求”。Tech giants such as Microsoft and Google are actively exploring small modular nuclear reactors, or SMRs, to power AI data centers.微软、谷歌等科技巨头正积极探索利用小型模块化核反应堆为AI数据中心供电。Wei added that CNNC's Linglong One — the world's first onshore commercial SMR — is nearing completion, and the company plans to begin commercial operations later this year. One key advantage of SMRs, Wei said, is their flexible placement, allowing them to be deployed right where computing power is needed, enabling close load-matching.魏志刚补充说，中核集团的“玲珑一号”，全球首个陆上商用小型模块化核反应堆已接近完工，公司计划于今年晚些时候开始商业运营。他指出，SMR的一大优势在于其部署灵活性，可直接建在算力需求地，实现就近负荷匹配。Zhou Ji, a senior researcher at market consultancy Pangoal, said that "China's energy system has an edge in three dimensions: scale, structure and system, which constitutes solid support for AI computing infrastructure at the foundational level".市场咨询机构盘古智库高级研究员周济表示，“中国能源体系在规模、结构和体制三个维度上具有优势，这为AI算力基础设施奠定了坚实基础”。Regarding scale, China ranks first in the world in total electricity generation and also leads in incremental growth. In terms of structure, the country has the world's largest installed capacity of new energy, with the share of green power continuing to rise, Zhou said.周济指出，在规模上，中国发电总量位居全球第一，增量增长同样领先；在结构上，中国拥有全球最大的新能源装机容量，绿色电力占比持续上升。As for system, China's ultra-high-voltage grid technology enables cross-regional optimization of power resources, while the country is also adopting a pioneering approach that aligns computing infrastructure with clean energy sources, he added.他补充说，在体制上，中国的特高压电网技术实现了电力资源的跨区域优化配置，同时，中国还在采取一种开创性做法，即让算力基础设施与清洁能源协同布局。Looking ahead, the Beijing Institute of Technology's Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research projected that by 2030, China's data centers will consume about 525.76 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, accounting for 4.8 percent of the country's total societal electricity use.展望未来，北京理工大学能源与环境政策研究中心预测，到2030年，中国数据中心将消耗约5257.6亿千瓦时电力，占全社会用电量的4.8%。In the United States, meanwhile, the amount of electricity consumed by data centers is expected to cause significant tightening across the national power market.与此同时，美国数据中心的电力消耗预计将导致全国电力市场显著趋紧。That strain is already feeding through to the real economy, as big tech data centers are driving up power bills for manufacturers across the US Rust Belt, Reuters reported. For example, the Belden Brick Co in Sugarcreek, Ohio, a 141-year-old enterprise, saw its electricity costs surge 90 percent last year, largely due to rising power demand from regional data centers.据路透社报道，这种压力已传导至实体经济，大型科技数据中心正在推高美国“铁锈地带”制造商的电费账单。例如，俄亥俄州舒格克里克市拥有141年历史的贝尔登砖公司，去年电费飙升了90%，主要原因是区域数据中心的电力需求不断增长。China, by contrast, is taking a coordinated, long-term approach. Wang Hongzhi, head of the National Energy Administration, has said that China's energy system will become significantly more secure, resilient and structurally optimized by 2030, driven by over 20 trillion yuan in planned investments for key energy projects and emerging sectors.相比之下，中国正采取协调一致、着眼长远的方法。国家能源局局长王宏志表示，在重点能源项目和新兴领域计划投资逾20万亿元的推动下，到2030年，中国能源系统将显著提升安全性、韧性和结构优化水平。To accommodate the surging electricity demand driven by AI, Wang said China will closely align national computing hubs with large renewable bases in the western regions, advancing the synergy between computing and electricity, while simultaneously promoting distributed power, microgrids and virtual power plants to meet localized computing needs.王宏志表示，为满足AI驱动的激增电力需求，中国将把全国算力枢纽与西部地区大型可再生能源基地紧密对接，推进算电协同，同时推广分布式电源、微电网和虚拟电厂，以满足本地化算力需求。A virtual power plant is a network of small, distributed energy resources, such as solar panels and electric vehicle chargers, that are connected and managed as one.虚拟电厂是一个由小型分布式能源资源（如太阳能电池板和电动汽车充电桩）组成的网络，这些资源被连接起来并作为一个整体进行管理。Song Yunbo, chief sustainability officer of GCL Group, a major Chinese new energy company, said that China "already generates over one-third of its electricity from renewables — a global leader — and the country's energy surplus makes it an ideal testing ground for AI-driven applications".中国新能源巨头协鑫集团首席可持续发展官宋赟波表示，中国“已有超过三分之一的电力来自可再生能源全球领先而国家的能源富余使其成为AI驱动应用的理想试验场”。Miao Qing, chairwoman of Yingli Group, another Chinese new energy company, said AI-powered virtual power plants are reshaping electricity systems by aggregating distributed renewables, storage and flexible loads to smooth peaks and valleys while dynamically responding to real-time market prices.另一家中国新能源企业英利集团董事长苗青表示，AI驱动的虚拟电厂正在重塑电力系统，通过聚合分布式可再生能源、储能和灵活负荷，削峰填谷，同时动态响应实时市场价格。Miao said China has already built more than 530 virtual power plants, and the prospects for wider application are "very promising".苗青表示，中国已建成530多个虚拟电厂，更广泛的应用前景“非常乐观”。load-matching /ləʊd ˈmætʃɪŋ/负荷匹配incremental growth /ˌɪŋkrɪˈmentəl ɡrəʊθ/增量增长installed capacity /ɪnˈstɔːld kəˈpæsəti/装机容量ultra-high-voltage grid /ˈʌltrə haɪ ˈvəʊltɪdʒ ɡrɪd/特高压电网cross-regional optimization /krɒs ˈriːdʒənəl ˌɒptɪmaɪˈzeɪʃən/跨区域优化配置societal electricity use /səˈsaɪətəl ɪˌlekˈtrɪsəti juːs/全社会用电量Rust Belt /rʌst belt/铁锈地带coordinated /kəʊˈɔːdɪneɪtɪd/协调一致的

This episode delves into the viral pixel bead craft trend sweeping short-video platforms, unpacking why college students and young working adults are obsessed with tiny colorful plastic pellets. We trace the evolution of popular handcrafts from cross-stitch to today’s diverse creative hobbies, and analyze pixel beads’ unique strengths: a low learning curve and high error tolerance that deliver instant positive feedback. We break down psychological concepts such as micro-control and flow state to explain how slow handcrafts offset the mental exhaustion brought on by fragmented short-form content. We also discuss the laid-back social dynamic surrounding pixel bead crafting—adult parallel play—and push back against the utilitarian mindset that hobbies must yield tangible productivity. In today’s fast-paced, unpredictable world, pixel beads are far more than just children’s toys; they serve as a safe emotional outlet for young people to relieve anxiety and reclaim inner peace.

The United States will impose tariffs of 10 to 12.5 percent on imported goods from 60 economies starting on Friday, citing Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) said Thursday.美国贸易代表办公室7月23日宣布，依据《1974年贸易法》第301条，美国将从周五起对来自60个经济体的进口商品加征10%至12.5%的关税。The new trade measures are scheduled to take effect just as temporary 10 percent worldwide tariffs expire at 12:01 am Friday. The administration of US President Donald Trump had turned to those temporary levies after the Supreme Court struck down his broader tariff initiatives in February.新贸易措施将紧随7月24日凌晨12:01到期的10%全球临时关税之后生效。今年2月，美国最高法院否决了特朗普总统更广泛的关税计划，随后特朗普政府采用了这些临时性关税措施。By utilizing Section 301, the administration is tapping into a more durable legal mechanism that permits Trump to impose import taxes and other sanctions against countries found to engage in trade practices deemed "unjustifiable, unreasonable, or discriminatory," according to a USTR press release.美国贸易代表办公室在一份新闻稿中表示，通过援引第301条，美国政府正在启用一个更持久的法律机制，该机制允许特朗普对被认定存在“不公正、不合理或歧视性”贸易行为的国家征收进口税及其他制裁措施。The USTR justified the latest levies by pointing to international labor standards.美国贸易代表办公室以国际劳工标准为依据，为此次加征关税进行辩护。"The United States has had a forced labor import ban for nearly a century, and rigorously enforces it; it's well past time for our trading partners to do the same," US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer was quoted as saying in the release. "Today's action will begin to correct what is both a human rights abuse and distortive trade practice to improve the welfare of workers everywhere."美国贸易代表贾米森·格里尔在新闻稿中表示：“美国实施禁止进口强迫劳动产品的禁令已有近一个世纪，并严格执行；我们的贸易伙伴是时候采取同样做法了。今天的行动将开始纠正这一既侵犯人权又扭曲贸易的做法，从而改善各地工人的福祉。”The USTR determined that a 10 percent duty rate will be applied to investigated economies that either impose a forced labor import prohibition, have committed to enforcing such a prohibition through an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade, or have imposed a partial regime to prevent the importation of certain forced labor goods.美国贸易代表办公室决定，对符合以下条件的被调查经济体适用10%的关税税率：已实施禁止进口强迫劳动产品的禁令；已承诺通过《对等贸易协议》执行此类禁令；或已建立部分制度以防止特定强迫劳动产品的进口。The economies include Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United Kingdom, according to the release.据新闻稿，这些经济体包括阿根廷、孟加拉国、柬埔寨、加拿大、厄瓜多尔、萨尔瓦多、危地马拉、洪都拉斯、印度、印度尼西亚、约旦、马来西亚、墨西哥、巴基斯坦、斯里兰卡、特立尼达和多巴哥以及英国。A variable rate of 10 or 12.5 percent, net of the Most-Favored-Nation rate, will apply to certain non-exempted products from economies including the European Union, Japan, South Korea and Switzerland. Meanwhile, a 12.5 percent duty will be imposed on all other investigated economies.对欧盟、日本、韩国和瑞士等经济体的某些非豁免产品，将适用10%或12.5%的浮动税率（在最惠国税率基础上加征）。同时，对所有其他被调查经济体将征收12.5%的关税。Notably, the Trump administration also provides exemptions for certain products, such as those that could lead to domestic supply crunch or economy-wide disruption, and products that cannot be grown or produced in the United States in sufficient quantities or at reasonable prices.值得注意的是，特朗普政府还对某些产品提供了豁免，例如可能导致国内供应紧张或经济全面中断的产品，以及无法在美国以充足数量或合理价格种植或生产的产品。In March, the USTR launched a separate, ongoing probe into whether 16 countries, which collectively account for around 70 percent of US imports, have overproduced goods, thereby pushing down global prices and placing US companies at a competitive disadvantage.今年3月，美国贸易代表办公室启动了一项单独的、仍在进行的调查，调查16个国家是否因产能过剩导致全球价格下跌，使美国企业处于竞争劣势。这些国家合计占美国进口总额的约70%。Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) /ˈɒfɪs əv ðə juː ɛs treɪd ˌreprɪˈzentətɪv/美国贸易代表办公室levies /ˈleviz/征税，关税durable legal mechanism /ˈdjʊərəbəl ˈliːɡəl ˈmekənɪzəm/持久的法律机制sanctions /ˈsæŋkʃənz/制裁unjustifiable /ʌnˈdʒʌstɪfaɪəbəl/不合理的

Two Chinese nationals were awarded the Fields Medal, regarded as the Nobel Prize of mathematics, on Thursday, marking the first time Chinese nationals have received the prestigious honor.两名中国籍数学家于当地时间7月23日早晨斩获菲尔兹奖。菲尔兹奖素有 “数学界诺贝尔奖” 之称，此次获奖也创下中国籍学者首次摘得这一重磅奖项的纪录。Wang Hong and Deng Yu shared this year's award with John Pardon from the United States and Jacob Tsimerman from Canada at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia. The achievement also marks the first time that two Chinese nationals have won the Fields Medal in the same year.本届菲尔兹奖颁奖典礼于美国费城举办的国际数学家大会上举行，王虹、邓煜与美国数学家约翰・帕登、加拿大数学家雅各布・齐默曼共同获奖。这也是史上首次有两名中国籍数学家在同一年度拿下菲尔兹奖。First presented in 1936, the award, which is considered one of the highest honors in the field, is given every four years by the International Mathematical Union, and recognizes mathematicians under the age of 40 for their outstanding contributions to mathematics.菲尔兹奖于 1936 年首次颁发，被视作数学领域最高荣誉之一，由国际数学联盟每四年评选一次，表彰 40 周岁以下、在数学领域作出杰出贡献的数学家。Both Wang and Deng enrolled at Peking University in 2007. With their recognition, China has become the fifth country — after the USA, France, the United Kingdom and Russia — to produce two Fields Medalists at the same ceremony, and the first Asian country to achieve the distinction.王虹与邓煜二人于 2007 年考入北京大学。凭借此次两人同时获奖，中国成为继美国、法国、英国、俄罗斯之后，第五个在单届颁奖礼诞生两名菲尔兹奖得主的国家，同时也是首个达成这一成就的亚洲国家。medal /ˈmedl/n. 奖章，奖牌prestigious /preˈstɪdʒəs/adj. 有声望的，享有盛誉的mathematician /ˌmæθəməˈtɪʃn/n. 数学家distinction /dɪˈstɪŋkʃn/n. 殊荣，卓越成就

President Xi Jinping has called for efforts to carry out the basic task of fostering virtue through education and break new ground in the high-quality development of the country's basic education.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 an instruction on work related to basic education.He pointed out that since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, the CPC Central Committee has prioritized basic education as a foundational and leading task, taking multiple measures to promote significant development in basic education, thus providing robust support for building a strong country in education.Xi required fully implementing the Party's policies on education to nurture students with well-rounded development in terms of moral grounding, intellectual capability, physical vigor, aesthetic sensibility and work skills, who will fully develop socialism and carry forward the socialist cause.He underlined the need to follow the inherent laws of education, uphold the "health first" principle, and enhance the quality of education and teaching to promote physical and mental health and the overall development of students.It is important to meet the new expectations of the people to enhance the quality of basic education and ensure equality in education, Xi said, emphasizing the importance of cultivating a high-caliber and professional teaching workforce.He urged Party committees and governments at all levels to shoulder their political responsibilities, optimize the allocation of educational resources, deepen comprehensive education reform, and promote coordinated efforts from schools, families and society to continuously make new advances in the high-quality development of basic education.Xi's instruction was conveyed by Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang at the national basic education work conference, which was held in Beijing on Wednesday.Addressing the conference, Ding said that efforts must be made to strictly manage student admissions and enrollment, and provide more care and support to left-behind children in rural areas and the children of migrant workers in cities.It is essential to firmly ensure equity in education and promote balanced development in basic education, he said, calling for efforts to optimize the allocation of educational resources to adapt to demographic changes.Ding emphasized the need to deepen education and teaching reforms with a student-centered approach, and shape new advantages in basic education.The basic education system in China includes preschool education, nine-year compulsory education from elementary to junior high school, and standard senior high school.China has built the world's largest basic education system and is shifting its focus from ensuring access to improving education quality, with major progress in equality in education, digital learning and student development, according to the Ministry of Education.Beyond expanding access, China is placing greater emphasis on students' all-around development.compulsory /kəmˈpʌlsəri/义务的，强制的allocation /ˌæləˈkeɪʃn/配置，分配comprehensive /ˌkɒmprɪˈhensɪv/综合的，全面的aesthetic /iːsˈθetɪk/审美的；美学的demographic /ˌdeməˈɡræfɪk/人口统计学的；人口结构的

A trademark dispute now before the Beijing Intellectual Property Court (BIPC) could help clarify one of the most important questions in China's trademark system: Where should the boundary lie for the registration and protection of commercial brands derived from public cultural elements?北京知识产权法院正在审理的一起商标争议，有望厘清中国商标制度中最重要的问题之一：源于公共文化元素的商业品牌，其注册与保护的边界究竟在哪里？On July 16, the BIPC heard an administrative trademark lawsuit filed by Louis Vuitton Malletier against the China National Intellectual Property Administration, with Huang Minyao, a clothing business operator from Shantou, Guangdong province, as a third party.7月16日，北京知识产权法院开庭审理了路易威登马利耶诉国家知识产权局商标权行政纠纷一案，广东汕头服装经营者黄敏瑶作为第三人参加诉讼。A four-petal floral design trademark that Huang applied for is deemed by LV to be confusingly similar to its iconic monogram pattern.黄敏瑶申请注册的四瓣花图形商标，被路易威登认为与其标志性的Monogram图案构成近似，容易导致混淆。The dispute arose after CNIPA rejected LV's challenge to the petal-shaped trademark registered by Huang.此前，国家知识产权局驳回了路易威登对该花瓣图形商标的无效宣告请求，争议由此产生。It is the sixth trademark lawsuit LV has filed against CNIPA, having won three and lost two of the previous five cases.这是路易威登针对国家知识产权局提起的第六起商标诉讼，此前五起案件中，路易威登三胜两负。Unlike the earlier high-profile dispute between LV and Shenzhen-based Molly Tea Catering Management, this is not an infringement case but an administrative lawsuit that challenges the legality of a regulatory decision.与早前路易威登与深圳“莫莉茶饮”公司之间备受关注的那起纠纷不同，本案并非侵权诉讼，而是针对行政机关行政决定合法性提起的行政诉讼。The two cases are deeply connected in legal principle, but administrative trademark disputes differ fundamentally from infringement lawsuits in nature, subject matter, and standards of proof.两案在法律原理上深度关联，但商标行政诉讼与侵权诉讼在性质、审理对象和证明标准上存在根本差异。Infringement litigation determines whether conduct falls within the scope of an exclusive trademark right, whereas administrative litigation examines the legality of decisions made by trademark authorities on registration applications, oppositions, or invalidation requests.侵权诉讼解决的是被诉行为是否落入商标专用权保护范围的问题，行政诉讼则审查商标行政机关在注册申请、异议或无效宣告等程序中作出的决定是否合法。This means BIPC will not rule on whether Huang infringed LV's rights, but will review whether CNIPA properly applied the current Trademark Law provisions concerning distinctiveness, similarity, well-known trademark protection, and public interest reservations when it rejected LV's plea for invalidation.这意味着北京知识产权法院不会就黄敏瑶是否侵犯路易威登权利作出裁判，而是审查国家知识产权局在驳回路易威登无效宣告请求时，是否正确适用了现行《商标法》关于显著性、近似性、驰名商标保护和公共利益保留等条款的规定。This requires the court to return to the authorization conditions under the Trademark Law.这要求法院回归《商标法》关于商标授权条件的规定。Under the current provision, signs consisting solely of generic names, graphic elements, place names, or other features lacking inherent distinctiveness — including public cultural resources such as traditional patterns, natural imagery and geometric designs — shall not be registered unless they have acquired distinctiveness through use and become readily identifiable with particular goods or services.根据现行规定，仅有本商品的通用名称、图形、地名或者其他缺乏显著特征的标志——包括传统纹样、自然图形、几何图形等公共文化资源——不得作为商标注册，但经过使用取得显著特征、便于识别的除外。If the disputed trademark involves public cultural elements such as traditional patterns or natural floral designs that typically possess weak inherent distinctiveness, the court will focus on whether CNIPA fully considered this factor and rigorously examined evidence of acquired "secondary meaning".如果争议商标涉及传统纹样或自然花卉图案等公共文化元素，因其通常自身显著性较弱，法院将重点审查国家知识产权局是否充分考虑了这一因素，并严格审查了“获得显著性”的证据。Public reaction to the LV-Molly Tea infringement case has already demonstrated widespread concern over attempts to register and monopolize traditional motifs such as the four-petal flower or Baoxiang patterns.公众对路易威登与“莫莉茶饮”侵权案的广泛关注，已经反映出社会对四瓣花、宝相纹等传统纹样被注册和垄断的普遍担忧。At the authorization stage, the issue is even more fundamental: If public cultural elements inherently lack distinctiveness and the applicant fails to prove that the symbol has acquired an independent identity distinct from its public-domain meaning, is administrative approval justified in the first place?在授权阶段，问题更为根本：如果公共文化元素本身缺乏显著性，申请人又未能证明该标志已获得独立于公共领域含义的识别功能，那么行政机关的核准是否还有依据？Trademark law is not meant to enclose public cultural resources as private property through registration, but to protect commercial identifiers that distinguish goods or services and thereby promote fair competition.商标法的目的不是通过注册将公共文化资源圈定为私有财产，而是保护能够区分商品或服务来源的商业标识，从而促进公平竞争。For traditional cultural elements that have public interest, trademark examination should adopt a prudent stance.对于具有公共属性的传统文化元素，商标审查应当采取审慎态度。Regulators must prevent market players from privatizing commonly available design resources through registration and obstructing other operators' fair use of cultural elements.监管者必须防止市场主体通过注册将公共领域的设计资源私有化，阻碍其他经营者对文化元素的合理使用。On the other hand, they must respect the goodwill accumulated by enterprises through creative transformation and sustained commercial use.另一方面，也必须尊重企业通过创造性转化和持续商业使用所积累的商誉。The key lies in balancing "distinctiveness" against "public domain preservation" without lowering examination standards for auxiliary graphic elements simply because an applicant has a formidable reputation in other product categories.关键在于平衡“显著性”与“公共领域保护”，不能因申请人在其他商品类别上享有较高声誉，就降低对其商标中辅助图形要素的审查标准。In this case, LV may argue that its well-known trademark deserves cross-class protection.在本案中，路易威登可能会主张其驰名商标应获得跨类保护。However, China's Trademark Law and related judicial interpretations clearly state that the recognition of a well-known trademark should follow the principles of "case-by-case determination" and "protection as needed".然而，中国的《商标法》及相关司法解释明确规定，驰名商标的认定应当遵循“个案认定”和“按需保护”的原则。Cross-class protection is justified only if there is evidence that the public would be misled and the registrant's interests are likely to be damaged. In this administrative proceeding, the court needs to determine whether CNIPA correctly applied this standard.只有在有证据证明公众可能产生误认、且注册人利益可能因此受损的情况下，跨类保护才有依据。在本行政诉讼中，法院需要审查国家知识产权局是否正确适用了这一标准。It is worth noting that the protection of well-known trademarks cannot extend indefinitely.值得指出的是，驰名商标的保护不能无限扩张。Even if some LV trademark symbols enjoy extremely high reputation, it does not automatically mean that every separately registered graphic element — particularly those resembling public cultural motifs — enjoys the same level of protection across all categories.即使路易威登的部分商标标志享有极高知名度，也并不自动意味着其注册的每一个图形要素——尤其是那些与公共文化元素相似的图形——都能在所有类别上获得同等保护。Judicial review should guard against "goodwill spillover", whereby a brand's overall reputation is indiscriminately poured into each registered element, thereby improperly extending the exclusivity of the trademark.司法审查应当警惕“商誉溢出”现象，避免品牌整体声誉不加区分地覆盖到每一个注册要素，导致商标权不当扩张。Although this is an administrative case, its ruling will have a significant effect on similar cases in the future.虽然本案是行政诉讼，但其判决对未来类似案件将产生重要影响。The judgment should accomplish three objectives: First, it should strictly examine the source of distinctiveness of the disputed mark, distinguishing inherent distinctiveness from acquired distinctiveness, and ensure that the natural recognizability of public cultural elements is not mistaken for the trademark owner's original contribution.判决应当实现三重目标：第一，严格审查争议商标显著性的来源，区分固有显著性与获得显著性，确保公共文化元素的天然可识别性不被误认为商标权人的原创贡献。Second, it should accurately apply the principle of "protection as needed" for well-known trademarks and prevent the abuse of cross-class protection.第二，准确适用驰名商标“按需保护”原则，防止跨类保护被滥用。Third, it should fully address public interest considerations in its reasoning, clarifying the protection boundaries for trademarks comprising public cultural elements and leaving adequate room for fair use by the public and other market entities.第三，在裁判说理中充分回应公共利益考量，明确含有公共文化元素的商标的保护边界，为公众和其他市场主体保留合理使用空间。A trademark right is essentially a tool for market identification, not a shackle on cultural resources.商标权本质上是市场标识工具，而非文化资源的枷锁。As China continues strengthening intellectual property protection while fostering a fair and competitive business environment, safeguarding the public domain at the trademark authorization stage becomes increasingly important.中国在持续强化知识产权保护的同时，也在着力营造公平竞争的市场环境。在此背景下，在商标授权阶段保护公共领域的重要性日益凸显。Traditional patterns, natural imagery, and geometric designs should remain part of humanity's shared treasury of creativity rather than become legal barriers enabling a handful of enterprises to monopolize markets.传统纹样、自然图形和几何设计，应当继续作为人类共同的创作财富，而不应成为少数企业垄断市场的法律屏障。The BIPC ruling may well provide a landmark answer on how China's trademark system can balance private incentives with public interest.北京知识产权法院的判决，有望就中国商标制度如何平衡私人激励与公共利益提供标志性答案。monogram pattern /ˈmɒnəɡræm ˈpætən/ Monogram图案（LV标志性花纹）invalidation request /ɪnˌvælɪˈdeɪʃən rɪˈkwest/无效宣告请求distinctiveness /dɪˈstɪŋktɪvnəs/显著性inherent distinctiveness /ɪnˈherənt dɪˈstɪŋktɪvnəs/固有显著性cross-class protection /krɒs klɑːs prəˈtekʃən/跨类保护case-by-case determination /keɪs baɪ keɪs dɪˌtɜːmɪˈneɪʃən/个案认定protection as needed /prəˈtekʃən æz ˈniːdɪd/按需保护goodwill spillover /ɡʊdˈwɪl ˈspɪləʊvə/商誉溢出

China expressed grave concern on Wednesday over the European Commission's decision to fine Chinese company AliExpress under the European Union's Digital Services Act, with a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce urging the bloc to stop using platform regulation as a pretext to erect digital trade barriers.周三，中方对欧盟委员会依据欧盟《数字服务法》处罚中国企业速卖通的决定表示严重关切。商务部发言人敦促欧盟不要以平台监管为借口设置数字贸易壁垒。On Monday, the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, imposed a 550 million euro ($627.55 million) fine on AliExpress, an Alibaba-owned cross-border e-commerce platform, accusing the company of failing to address the sale of illegal, unsafe and counterfeit products.周一，欧盟执行机构欧盟委员会向阿里巴巴旗下跨境电商平台速卖通处以5.5亿欧元（合6.2755亿美元）罚款，指控该平台未能整治非法、不安全及假冒商品销售问题。Responding to the move, a ministry spokesperson said in a statement that China will firmly support its companies in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests through legal means and will take resolute measures to protect the lawful interests of Chinese businesses.商务部发言人就此举措发表声明称，中方坚定支持本国企业通过法律途径维护自身合法权益，并将采取有力措施保护中国企业正当利益。China firmly opposes the EU's use of platform regulation to create digital barriers and adopt discriminatory measures that restrict the normal business operations of Chinese e-commerce companies in Europe, said the commerce official.这位商务部官员表示，中方坚决反对欧盟借平台监管制造数字壁垒，实施歧视性措施，限制中国电商企业在欧洲正常经营。The spokesperson urged the EU to stop abusing its discretionary powers by exploiting ambiguities in legal provisions and to treat Chinese companies in a fair and impartial manner.发言人敦促欧盟不要再利用法律条款模糊之处滥用自由裁量权，公平公正对待中国企业。counterfeit /ˈkaʊntəfɪt/ adj.假冒的；伪造的discriminatory /dɪˈskrɪmɪnətəri/ adj.歧视性的discretionary /dɪˈskreʃənəri/ adj.自由裁量的legitimate /lɪˈdʒɪtɪmət/ adj.合法的；正当的pretext /ˈpriːtekst/ n.借口，托词erect /ɪˈrekt/ v.设立，建立（壁垒）

American motorists are growing weary of paying higher gas prices again after renewed military tensions between the US and Iran stoked fears of a disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and gas prices rose to over $4 per gallon this week.随着美伊军事紧张局势再度升级，引发市场对霍尔木兹海峡航运中断的担忧，本周美国汽油价格涨至每加仑4美元以上，美国驾车族对油价再次上涨感到疲惫。The national average for regular gasoline was $4 a gallon on July 20, according to the American Automobile Association, rising 13 cents per gallon, or 3 percent, over the past week amid the tensions in the Middle East. It is the first time the national average hit $4 since June 17, and it comes despite the June US-Iran memorandum of understanding to stop the military conflict and a 60-day negotiation period.据美国汽车协会数据，7月20日全美普通汽油均价为每加仑4美元，较上周上涨13美分，涨幅约3%。这是自6月17日以来全美均价首次触及4美元关口，尽管美伊双方在6月曾签署谅解备忘录以停止军事冲突并设定了60天谈判期。Sanjay Patel, 70, from Manhattan, was filling up his white Mercedes Benz SUV at a BP gas station in Brooklyn, New York when he expressed how annoyed he was at the rising price of gas. He pointed out that he was paying over $4 at the location, as it was $4.15 for regular, $4.55 for silver and $4.95 for diesel.70岁的曼哈顿居民桑贾伊·帕特尔在纽约布鲁克林的一家BP加油站为自己的白色奔驰SUV加油时，表达了对油价上涨的烦恼。他指出该站油价已超过4美元，普通汽油每加仑4.15美元，中档汽油4.55美元，柴油4.95美元。"I want it to go back below $4," Patel told China Daily, who blamed the rise in gas prices on the ongoing war with Iran. "Well, it's because of the war, they block the Strait of Hormuz, with all of that there's no supply. I think all of the world is suffering because everywhere it is high. But America has enough oil, but they are not really distributing it to the public.“我希望油价回到4美元以下，”帕特尔对《中国日报》表示。他将油价上涨归咎于与伊朗的持续战争。“这都是因为战争，他们封锁了霍尔木兹海峡，导致供应短缺。我认为全世界都在承受高价之苦。美国有足够的石油，但没有真正分配给国内公众。"The government should end the war. That is the most important. Secondly, they have to make sure all these big oil companies, BP, Shell and ExxonMobil should not be focusing on selling the oil outside of the country. America is in a war. I have to pay more to the fill up the tank. A full tank is $60."“政府应该结束战争，这是最重要的。其次，他们必须确保BP、壳牌和埃克森美孚等大石油公司不要把石油卖到国外。美国正在打仗，我不得不花更多钱加油。加满一箱油要60美元。”US crude oil traded between $81 and $85 per barrel on Tuesday, according to Reuters. Brent crude futures added 2 percent to end the day at $91.01, according to The Wall Street Journal. It was the first close above $90 since June 11.据路透社报道，周二美国原油价格在每桶81至85美元之间交易。据《华尔街日报》报道，布伦特原油期货上涨2%，收于每桶91.01美元，为6月11日以来首次收于90美元上方。Brian James, 55, from Brooklyn, New York, drives a black Jeep Wrangler.55岁的布赖恩·詹姆斯来自纽约布鲁克林，开一辆黑色吉普牧马人。He told China Daily: "Gas prices are ridiculous right now. Seriously. It costs $90 for me to fill up this car. In the past, it was $70. Instead of being able to buy certain things or save money, then you have to outlay in transportation. It's taking a hit on everyone.他对《中国日报》表示：“现在的油价太离谱了。真的。我加满这辆车要90美元。过去只要70美元。本可以用来买东西或存钱的钱，现在不得不用在交通上。每个人都受到了冲击。"I blame the government. They're making it hard for everyone right now, we're spending money where we shouldn't have to. The oil companies are passing on the costs to the customer. I remember when the gas price was in the three-dollar range, like $3.60 or whatever."“我怪罪政府。他们现在让每个人都很难，我们在不该花钱的地方花钱。石油公司把成本转嫁给了消费者。我记得油价还在3美元区间的时候，大概3.60美元左右。”On Tuesday, a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz came under attack near Oman, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations.据英国海上贸易运营机构称，周二一艘油轮在霍尔木兹海峡阿曼附近海域遭到袭击。Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps told state-linked Tasnim News Agency: "As long as American hostilities in the region continue, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed."伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队对国家通讯社塔斯尼姆表示：“只要美国在该地区的敌对行动持续，霍尔木兹海峡将继续关闭。”The Houthis in Yemen said on Monday that they had implemented a blockade on Saudi Arabia's shipments through the Red Sea's Bab al-Mandeb Strait. This could cause even more blocks for shipping routes, warn experts.也门胡塞武装周一表示，已对沙特经红海曼德海峡的航运实施封锁。专家警告，这可能导致更多航线受阻。In March, shortly after the US-Israel attacks began on Iran, gas prices in the US hit an average of $4 a gallon.今年3月，美以对伊朗发动攻击后不久，美国汽油均价就达到了每加仑4美元。In May, they were $4.50 a gallon, then they dropped back down to $4 after the US and Iran agreed to the MOU in mid-June.5月油价曾达到每加仑4.50美元，6月中旬美伊签署谅解备忘录后回落至4美元。American drivers got some relief by early June, when prices at the pump were $3.79, the American Automobile Association found. But they have gradually crept back up this month.美国汽车协会数据显示，6月初美国司机曾获得一些喘息，油价降至每加仑3.79美元，但本月已逐渐回升。On July 7, the US government revoked a sanctions waiver on Iranian oil. President Donald Trump said a day later that the ceasefire agreement with Iran was "over" and he would reinstate the Iranian blockade.7月7日，美国政府撤销了对伊朗石油的制裁豁免。次日，总统特朗普表示与伊朗的停火协议“已结束”，并将恢复对伊朗的封锁。Three US service members were killed from July 17 to 19. Trump vowed to make Iran pay "many times over" for the deaths.7月17日至19日，三名美军士兵阵亡。特朗普誓言要让伊朗“加倍付出代价”。Nearly 100 US troops have been injured in the past two weeks amid renewed fighting with Iran, The Pentagon said.五角大楼表示，过去两周在与伊朗的持续冲突中，近100名美军士兵受伤。The Strait of Hormuz transported 20 percent of the world's oil supplies before the war began.战前，霍尔木兹海峡承载全球20%的石油供应。Over 130 ships per day used to cross the waterway, but from July 17 to 19 that plummeted to only 30 ships, MarineTraffic and Kpler said.据MarineTraffic和Kpler数据，该水道过去日均通行130多艘船舶，但7月17日至19日锐减至仅30艘。US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday that the war had cost $37.5 billion so far.美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯周二向参议院拨款委员会表示，战争迄今已耗费375亿美元。For most motorists, especially those who rely on their vehicles for work, lower gas prices cannot come back soon enough.对大多数驾车族而言，尤其是那些依赖车辆工作的人，油价回落越快越好。Sulaiman, 31, an Uber Eats delivery driver, was filling up his small motorbike at a gas station in New York and checking his phone on his way to deliver food to a customer.31岁的苏莱曼是一名Uber Eats送餐司机，他正在纽约一家加油站为小型摩托车加油，同时查看手机准备前往送餐。"I'm so busy, I have to deliver this food," he told China Daily. "Higher gas prices make it harder for people like me who need to earn money as more of my money goes towards transportation costs. I just wish they'd make things better for all of us out here working hard."“我很忙，我得去送餐，”他对《中国日报》表示。“油价上涨让我们这些需要挣钱的人更难，因为更多的钱花在了交通上。我只希望他们能为所有辛勤工作的人改善现状。”weary /ˈwɪəri/疲倦的，厌倦的stoked fears /stəʊkt fɪəz/引发担忧disruption /dɪsˈrʌpʃən/中断，扰乱national average /ˈnæʃənəl ˈævərɪdʒ/全国平均水平regular gasoline /ˈreɡjʊlər ˈɡæsəliːn/普通汽油memorandum of understanding (MOU) /ˌmemərændəm əv ʌndəˈstændɪŋ/谅解备忘录silver gasoline /ˈsɪlvə ˈɡæsəliːn/中档汽油diesel /ˈdiːzəl/柴油crude oil /kruːd ɔɪl/原油

Beijing summoned the ambassador of the Philippines to China on Tuesday and lodged solemn representations over Manila's deliberate provocation at Ren'ai Reef and attack on China Coast Guard law enforcement personnel on Monday.周二，中方紧急召见菲律宾驻华大使，就菲方周一在仁爱礁蓄意挑衅、袭击中国海警执法人员一事提出严正交涉。The Chinese Foreign Ministry, in a statement, described the acts as egregious, noting that the Philippines initiated the provocation and then sought to shift the blame onto China, distorted the facts and maliciously hyped up the incident.外交部发表声明指出，菲方上述行为性质恶劣；菲方挑衅在先，事后却倒打一耙、歪曲事实，恶意炒作此次海上事件。The statement said China Coast Guard operations in waters near the reef were justified and lawful, and the country would take measures to firmly safeguard its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests.声明强调，中国海警在仁爱礁附近海域开展执法活动合理合法，中方将采取一切必要措施，坚定捍卫自身领土主权与海洋权益。Addressing a regular news briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian stressed that Ren'ai Reef is part of China's Nansha Islands and is Chinese territory.外交部发言人林剑在例行记者会上强调，仁爱礁是中国南沙群岛的组成部分，主权属于中国。A Philippine military vessel has remained illegally grounded at Ren'ai Reef since May 9, 1999, despite Manila's repeated commitments to remove it.1999年5月9日以来，菲律宾一艘军舰在仁爱礁非法坐滩，尽管菲方多次承诺将该舰拖离，却始终未兑现承诺。Lin urged the Philippines to honor its commitments, immediately stop maritime provocations and false narratives, and exercise effective restraint over its frontline personnel.林剑敦促菲方恪守承诺，立即停止海上挑衅与虚假舆论造势，并有效约束一线人员言行。"Otherwise, the Philippines will bear all consequences arising from its actions," he added.他补充道：如若不然，菲方必须承担自身行径引发的一切后果。Lin said that in July 2024, China and the Philippines reached a provisional arrangement on humanitarian resupply missions to the grounded vessel based on China's three-point principled position, adding that China's position remains unchanged.林剑表示，2024年7月，中方基于三点原则立场，与菲方就坐滩军舰人道主义生活物资补给达成临时安排，中方这一立场至今未变。"If the Philippines were to attempt to build fixed facilities or permanent outpost, China will absolutely not accept it and will resolutely stop it in accordance with the law and regulations," Lin said.林剑称：倘若菲方试图在礁上修建固定设施、永久哨所，中方绝对不会接受，并将依法依规坚决予以制止。China Coast Guard spokesman Jiang Lue said that on Tuesday morning, China allowed the Philippine side, on humanitarian grounds, to use a boat to transfer the injured sailor to Philippine Coast Guard vessel No 9702. The China Coast Guard contacted the Philippine vessel to verify the purpose of the operation and monitored the process throughout, Jiang said.中国海警局发言人姜略表示，周二上午，中方从人道主义角度出发，允许菲方船只将受伤水手转运至菲律宾9702号海警船。中方海警全程与菲方船只沟通核实行动目的，并全程监督转运全过程。With Foreign Minister Wang Yi set to attend the China-ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Manila on Wednesday, Lin, the Foreign Ministry spokesman, said it is worth noting that whenever China and the Philippines prepare for dialogue or engagement, or whenever a major regional diplomatic event approaches, certain forces invariably seek to stir up trouble over maritime issues.王毅外长将于周三赴马尼拉出席中国—东盟外长会。外交部发言人林剑指出，一个值得警惕的现象是：每逢中菲即将开展对话交往、或是地区重大外交活动临近之际，总有某些势力刻意借海上问题制造事端。"As to where the facts and merits of the issue lie and who is pulling the strings behind the scenes, I believe it's plain for all to see. China's policy on neighborhood diplomacy remains consistent and unchanged," he said.他表示：事件孰是孰非、谁在幕后操纵，世人有目共睹。中方周边外交政策一以贯之，从未改变。Lin said East Asian cooperation platforms are not appropriate venues for discussing bilateral maritime disputes, calling on the Philippines to fulfill its responsibilities as ASEAN chair by promoting dialogue and cooperation rather than putting its own political interests above regional peace and stability.林剑表示，东亚合作相关平台并非讨论双边海上争端的合适场合；菲方作为东盟轮值主席国，应当履行自身责任，推动对话合作，而非将本国政治私利凌驾于地区和平稳定之上。He Xianqing, an associate researcher at the National Institute for South China Sea Studies, said that Manila was seeking international attention and sympathy from ASEAN countries by portraying China as a coercive bully on purpose. It also tried to give the illegal and invalid "2016 Arbitral Award on the South China Sea" greater practical effect and deterrent force — a development that warrants vigilance.中国南海研究院副研究员何贤清分析，菲律宾刻意将中国塑造成强势施压一方，以此博取国际社会与东盟国家的关注与同情；菲方还企图赋予2016年非法无效的南海仲裁案裁决更多实际效力与威慑力，这一动向值得高度警惕。Zhu Feng, a professor at Nanjing University's School of International Studies, said the Philippines had sought backing from the United States and Japan as it escalated tensions with China in the South China Sea for narrow domestic political purposes.南京大学国际关系学院朱锋教授表示，菲律宾出于狭隘国内政治考量，不断在南海制造紧张局势，同时寻求美日两国撑腰支持。provocation /ˌprɒvəˈkeɪʃn/ n.挑衅、滋事solemn representations严正交涉egregious /ɪˈɡriːdʒiəs/ adj.性质极其恶劣的、骇人听闻的provisional arrangement临时安排、暂行协议

AI: Industrial depth to help lower costs overseas人工智能产业纵深发展，助力海外产品降价China's vision to turn artificial intelligence from an expensive frontier technology into a resource for affordable, widely accessible applications will bring huge benefits to more countries, businesses and ordinary people worldwide, said leading industry experts and company executives.业内权威专家与企业高管表示，中国提出愿景：将人工智能从成本高昂的前沿技术，转化为普惠亲民、随处可用的基础资源，这将为全球更多国家、企业与普通民众带来巨大红利。They made the comments on Tuesday after President Xi Jinping, in his keynote speech on Friday at the 2026 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in Shanghai, said that AI should be developed "for the positive, for good and for humanity".本周二，一众业内人士发表上述观点。此前，习近平主席于周五在上海2026世界人工智能大会暨全球人工智能治理高级别会议发表主旨演讲，提出人工智能发展要“向上向善、造福人类”。"AI development should not be a solo performance by a single country, but a symphony of international cooperation," Xi said.习近平主席指出：“人工智能发展不应是一国独奏，而应是国际合作的交响。”He called for coordinated advances in the transformation and upgrade of traditional industries, the cultivation and growth of emerging industries, and forward-looking planning for future industries, so that all sectors and businesses can benefit from AI.他呼吁协同推进传统产业转型升级、培育壮大新兴产业、前瞻布局未来产业，让各行各业、各类市场主体都能共享人工智能发展红利。Long Yongtu, China's former chief negotiator for its accession to the World Trade Organization, said the rise of AI has become another turning point in the country's economic development.前中国入世首席谈判代表龙永图表示，人工智能的崛起，是中国经济发展的又一个转折点。He said that China's entry into the WTO in 2001 unleashed the vitality of millions of market participants after restrictions on foreign trade rights were relaxed, helping the country grow into the world's largest trader in goods and allowing ordinary people to increase their income through international commerce.他谈到，2001年中国加入世界贸易组织，外贸经营权限制放宽，激活了千万市场主体活力，推动中国成为全球第一货物贸易大国，普通人也得以通过国际贸易增收致富。"Now, entering the age of AI heralds a new era of opening-up. AI is triggering a similarly profound transformation by reshaping production relationships, corporate structures and the cost of starting a business in the country," Long said.龙永图称：“如今，人工智能时代的到来，开启对外开放全新阶段。人工智能重塑国内生产关系、企业组织模式与创业成本，带来同样深刻的变革。”According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China has embraced AI with open arms, with the value of its core AI industries exceeding 1.2 trillion yuan ($177 billion) last year, maintaining annual growth of more than 20 percent for several consecutive years.工信部数据显示，中国全面拥抱人工智能产业。去年我国人工智能核心产业规模突破1.2万亿元（折合1770亿美元），连续多年保持20%以上年增速。Furthermore, the country is seeking to turn AI into real-world applications and a driver of economic growth.除此之外，中国着力推动人工智能落地实景应用，使之成为经济增长核心引擎。In the first half of this year, the industrial output of AI-related sectors, including integrated circuit manufacturing and in-vehicle intelligent equipment manufacturing, grew more than 30 percent.今年上半年，集成电路制造、车载智能装备制造等人工智能相关产业工业产值同比增长超30%。Long predicted that more individuals and small, specialized companies that use AI to perform work that previously required much larger organizations will emerge to become new drivers of the economy.龙永图预判，未来会涌现大量个体从业者与专精小企业，依托人工智能完成过去大型机构才能承接的业务，成为经济增长新动力。"Success should ultimately be judged not by model rankings or investment valuations, but by whether AI really improves people's lives," he added.他补充道：“评判AI发展成败，最终不在于大模型榜单、企业估值高低，而在于人工智能是否真正改善民生。”Efforts to push AI beyond chatbots and benchmark rankings into the physical economy include China's "AI Plus" initiative, which seeks to embed AI in manufacturing, finance, healthcare, energy and public services.中国推出“人工智能+”行动，推动人工智能跳出聊天机器人、模型榜单的局限，深度融入实体经济，赋能制造、金融、医疗、能源、公共服务各大领域。President Xi also said in his speech that China should facilitate technological innovation, industrial development and "scenario-based application of AI".习近平主席在演讲中同时提出，中国要统筹推进人工智能技术创新、产业培育与场景落地应用。Huo Fupeng, director of the innovation-driven development center of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that "China is leveraging its complete industrial system, enormous range of application scenarios and super-sized market to accelerate AI's deployment across thousands of industries".国家发改委创新驱动发展中心主任霍福鹏表示：“中国依托完备工业体系、海量应用场景与超大规模市场优势，加速人工智能向千行百业渗透落地。”"Its dense industrial supply chains and vast domestic market give developers an environment in which technologies can be tested, refined and deployed at scale," he said.他表示，国内完备密集的产业链、广阔内需市场，为技术研发方提供了可大规模测试、迭代、落地技术的优质环境。Data from Counterpoint Research showed that approximately 16,000 humanoid robots were deployed globally in 2025, with China accounting for more than 80 percent of them.市场研究机构Counterpoint数据显示，2025年全球落地部署人形机器人约1.6万台，其中中国占比超八成。At the World AI Conference, Chinese robotics company PrimeBOT unveiled a new, transformable robot that is capable of switching between quadruped and humanoid forms.本届世界人工智能大会上，国产机器人企业上纬启元发布一款全新变形机器人，可在四足形态与人形形态之间自由切换。Tian Hua, CEO of leading materials maker Swancor Advanced Materials Co and head of PrimeBOT, said: "The robotics supply chain comprises more than 1,600 components. At least 1,000 companies are capable of building a robot globally, but only a handful can manufacture 10,000 robots at consistent quality and scale."知名材料企业上纬新材CEO、上纬启元负责人田华表示：“机器人产业链包含1600余种零部件。全球至少有上千家企业能造出单台机器人，但仅有少数企业可实现万台级、品质稳定的规模化量产。”"That's China's advantage — transforming personal robots from custom-built machines into mass-produced consumer products," he said. "We are also confident of making such robots really affordable for ordinary people."他称：“这正是中国的核心优势——将定制化私人机器人转化为规模化量产民用消费品。我们有信心让普通人都能负担得起这类机器人。”Such industrial depth could also help lower the cost of AI products for overseas users. While global attention has focused on Western technology companies competing for lucrative enterprise contracts in the United States and the Middle East, Chinese companies are promoting open-source products across developing countries.完善的产业纵深优势，同样能降低海外用户购买人工智能产品的成本。全球目光多聚焦西方科技企业争夺欧美、中东高利润企业订单，而中国企业正面向广大发展中国家推广开源AI产品。Alex Zhavoronkov, founder and CEO of AI-driven drug discovery company Insilico Medicine, said China's emphasis on open-source development will amplify those gains internationally.人工智能药物研发企业英矽智能创始人兼首席执行官亚历克斯·扎沃隆科夫表示，中国大力发展开源技术，将在全球范围内放大人工智能普惠效益。"China is already leading the world in the open-source model," he said.他说：“中国的开源发展模式已走在全球前列。”"The Chinese approach and its AI policies are paving the way for the entire industry, and everyone on the planet will benefit."“中国的发展路径与人工智能相关政策，为全行业开辟发展道路，全球所有人都将从中受益。”humanoid /ˈhjuːmənɔɪd/人形机器人quadruped /ˈkwɒdruped/四足机器人transformable /trænsˈfɔːməbl/可切换形态的（机器人）industrial depth产业纵深、完整产业链配套能力open-source /ˌəʊpən ˈsɔːs/开源人工智能模型scenario-based /səˈnɑːriəʊ beɪst/面向真实生活、产业场景落地的（AI应用）

Analysts warn bilateral relationship remains subject to structural challenges分析师警示：双边关系仍面临结构性难题Renewed momentum in China-United States economic ties has helped boost confidence in the global economy while supporting steadier and more resilient bilateral trade in the months ahead, said market watchers and business leaders.市场观察人士与商界领袖表示，中美经贸关系重拾增长动能，不仅提振全球经济信心，也将推动未来数月双边贸易朝着更平稳、更具韧性的方向发展。The upbeat remarks came after official General Administration of Customs figures showed a sharp turnaround in bilateral trade in goods. After slumping 18.7 percent year-on-year in the first quarter, China-US goods trade rebounded to post a 13.7 percent year-on-year gain in the second quarter.此番乐观判断源于中国海关总署官方数据显示，中美货物贸易额出现大幅反转。一季度中美货物贸易同比下滑18.7%，二季度强势反弹，同比增长13.7%。This trade recovery aligns with fresh bilateral moves to stabilize economic relations. The Ministry of Commerce confirmed that during the latest round of China-US economic and trade consultations held in May, the two sides reached an agreement to negotiate a reciprocal tariff cut framework via a newly established trade council. The deal would cover goods valued at $30 billion or more from each country.此次贸易回暖，与中美双方近期为稳定经贸关系推出的一系列新举措相呼应。商务部证实，5月新一轮中美经贸磋商期间，两国达成共识，将依托新设立的贸易委员会磋商互惠降税框架，双方各有价值300亿美元及以上商品纳入该框架。Although neither side has released a final product list, trade analysts expect the tariff cuts to cover textiles, footwear, consumer goods, electronic components, industrial machinery parts, chemicals, plastics and agricultural products, while excluding sectors such as advanced semiconductors and strategic resources.尽管双方尚未公布最终商品清单，但贸易分析师预测，本次降税范围将涵盖纺织、鞋履、消费品、电子元器件、工业机械零部件、化工品、塑料制品与农产品，先进半导体、战略资源等领域不在降税范围内。Diao Daming, a professor of international relations at the Beijing-based Renmin University of China, said recent progress in the China-US economic and trade talks has helped bolster business confidence across the world and is creating conditions for more predictable trade and investment.中国人民大学国际关系教授刁大明表示，近期中美经贸谈判取得的进展提振了全球企业信心，为贸易和投资营造出更稳定可预期的环境。Yu Xinding, a professor of international trade at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said that once implemented, the new tariff framework will support further growth in China-US trade while setting a positive example for resolving trade disputes through dialogue.对外经济贸易大学国际贸易教授余心玎称，这套全新关税框架落地后，将进一步拉动中美贸易增长，同时为各国通过对话化解贸易争端树立正面范本。"Faced with multifaceted costs triggered by tariffs, this move offers a practical solution to help reverse trade distortions created by previous tariffs," said Yu. "The initiative goes far beyond lowering tariffs on selected goods. Equal consultations will improve market access, ease corporate burdens and restore bilateral trade to market-oriented, mutually beneficial dynamics."余心玎表示：“关税带来多重成本压力，此次举措提供了切实可行的方案，能够扭转过往关税造成的贸易扭曲。该举措的意义远不止下调部分商品关税，平等磋商将拓宽市场准入、减轻企业负担，让双边贸易回归市场化、互利共赢的状态。”Though modest relative to overall China-US trade, the planned tariff relief targets products with clear market demand and practical benefits, delivering early, verifiable results that can strengthen confidence in two-way economic ties, she added.她补充道，尽管本次降税规模相较于中美整体贸易体量不算庞大，但降税商品均为市场需求旺盛、具备实际利好的品类，能够快速落地可见成效，巩固双方对经贸往来的信心。While the recent rebound in bilateral trade points to improving momentum, analysts cautioned that the relationship remains subject to structural challenges and external uncertainties, despite the progress made through dialogue.尽管近期双边贸易回暖释放向好信号，但分析师提醒，即便对话取得一定进展，中美关系仍存在结构性难题与外部不确定性。Ma Xue, a researcher at the Institute of American Studies at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, said that strategic competition between China and the US in high-tech sectors will continue to intensify, while tighter controls on semiconductors, artificial intelligence and critical minerals, alongside geopolitical tensions, could weigh on the bilateral trade climate.中国现代国际关系研究院美国研究所研究员马雪表示，中美在高科技领域的战略竞争或将持续加剧，半导体、人工智能、关键矿产领域管控趋严，叠加地缘政治紧张局势，都可能对双边贸易环境造成负面影响。"Overall, institutionalized consultations and differentiated management of disputes could help offset short-term political disruptions," Ma said. "Although disagreements and periodic bargaining will persist, structured cooperation, accompanied by occasional friction in specific sectors, is likely to become the new normal in bilateral economic ties."马雪称：“总体而言，制度化磋商、差异化处理分歧能够对冲短期政治层面带来的冲击。双方分歧与阶段性博弈仍会存在，但常态化合作、局部领域偶有摩擦或将成为中美经贸关系的新常态。”Data from the General Administration of Customs also showed that China-US goods trade reached 2 trillion yuan ($295 billion) in the first half of the year, accounting for 7.9 percent of China's total foreign trade.海关总署数据显示，今年上半年中美货物贸易总额达2万亿元人民币（折合2950亿美元），占中国外贸总额的7.9%。James Zimmerman, chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, said he hopes this year will be a productive one for China-US relations, noting that current China-US trade policy is increasingly characterized by a "managed trade" approach centered on reciprocity.中国美国商会主席吉莫曼表示，他期待今年成为中美关系富有成效的一年，并指出当下中美贸易政策愈发呈现以互惠为核心的“管控型贸易”特征。Saying that engagement is in the best interest of the US, Zimmerman reiterated that China brings real value to US consumers and benefits Washington's long-term economic interests.吉莫曼表示，对华接触符合美国的核心利益，他重申中国能为美国消费者创造实际价值，契合美国长远经济利益。Similar views were expressed by Jim Sutter, CEO of the US Soybean Export Council. "The recent announcement on tariff reductions is a positive signal. We hope the commitments made during the talks will soon be translated into concrete policy measures," he said.美国大豆出口协会首席执行官吉姆·萨特也持相同观点。他表示：“此次降税相关公告释放积极信号，我们希望磋商达成的共识能够尽快转化为落地政策。”Such optimism also resonates with US industrial companies stepping up long-term investment and innovation in China.不少加大在华长期投资与创新布局的美国工业企业，也同样抱有这份乐观态度。Lin Chunmei, president and general manager of Corning China, said that as AI reshapes the global industrial landscape and drives demand for advanced materials and computing infrastructure, the US industrial materials manufacturer has evolved from technology introduction to collaborative innovation in China.康宁中国区总裁兼总经理林春梅表示，人工智能重塑全球产业格局，高端材料与算力基础设施需求激增，这家美国工业材料企业在华发展模式已从单纯引进技术，转变为协同创新。Corning will deepen local innovation, support next-generation computing infrastructure and contribute to the upgrading of China's industrial ecosystem, she said.她表示，康宁将深化本土创新研发，助力下一代算力基础设施建设，为中国产业体系升级贡献力量。The company's confidence also comes as China continues to strengthen its position in advanced manufacturing and high-tech exports.康宁的信心同样源于中国在高端制造、高新技术出口领域竞争力持续提升。In the first half of 2026, the country's exports of integrated circuits surged 88.7 percent year-on-year, while exports of electronic components rose 62.6 percent, statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed on Monday.工信部周一发布数据显示，2026年上半年，我国集成电路出口同比大增88.7%，电子元器件出口同比上涨62.6%。reciprocal /rɪˈsɪprəkl/互惠的，对等的distortion /dɪˈstɔːʃn/扭曲，畸变structural /ˈstrʌktʃərəl/结构性的bilateral /ˌbaɪˈlætərəl/双边的geopolitical /ˌdʒiːəʊpəˈlɪtɪkl/地缘政治的integrated circuits /ˈɪntɪɡreɪtɪd ˈsɜːkɪts/集成电路

Northern China is entering its most critical flood-control period, with meteorologists warning that an early rainy season and increasingly volatile weather patterns could heighten the risk of severe flooding in the weeks ahead.我国北方已进入防汛关键期，气象专家提醒，汛期提前、天气形势愈发多变，未来数周发生严重洪涝灾害的风险将有所上升。The rainy season in North China officially began on July 10, eight days earlier than the long-term average, according to the National Climate Center.国家气候中心数据显示，华北地区7月10日正式入汛，较常年平均时间提前8天。"The rainy season this year has arrived both early and with remarkable intensity," said Chen Lijuan, chief forecaster at the center.国家气候中心首席预报员陈丽娟表示：“今年汛期不仅来得早，降雨强度也十分突出。”She said an active Northeast China cold vortex — a persistent upper-level weather system that often triggers prolonged rainfall — has contributed to unusually heavy precipitation across northeastern and northern China since June.她介绍，东北冷涡活动频繁，这一持久的高空天气系统极易引发持续性降雨，自6月以来，我国东北、华北地区降水便异常偏多。The rainy season in Northeast China began on June 4, nine days earlier than average. Since June 1, rainfall has been well above normal across most of the region and North China.东北6月4日入汛，较常年提前9天。6月1日至今，东北大部、华北地区降雨量均显著高于常年均值。The early onset follows months of exceptionally heavy rainfall that have already left much of the region saturated before the traditional peak flood season.早在主汛期来临前，连续数月的强降雨已让北方大部分区域土壤含水量趋于饱和，如今汛期再度提前到来。From April 1 to July 12, average precipitation across northern China reached 228.6 millimeters, 23.1 percent above the long-term average and the highest for the same period in the past decade, the center said.国家气候中心称，4月1日至7月12日，北方地区平均降水量达228.6毫米，较常年同期偏多23.1%，为近十年同期最高值。In North China, average rainfall totaled 288.4 mm, 62.5 percent above normal and the highest for the same period since records began to be maintained.其中华北地区平均降雨量288.4毫米，较常年偏多62.5%，创下有气象记录以来同期降水极值。Hebei province and Tianjin both recorded their wettest April 1 to July 12 period since meteorological records began in 1961.河北、天津两地4月1日至7月12日的降雨量，均为1961年有完整气象观测以来同期最高。Large parts of Hebei have received more than 50 percent above-average rainfall, while some eastern areas of the province recorded as much as 12 times their normal precipitation. Much of Liaoning province has also received more than twice its normal rainfall.河北大部地区降水较常年偏多五成以上，省内东部局部区域降雨量更是达到常年同期的12倍；辽宁大部分区域降雨量也达到常年两倍以上。The unusually wet start has heightened concerns during the main flood season, which runs roughly from July 16 to Aug 15 and is traditionally the most challenging period for flood control.降水异常偏多的前期气候背景，让主汛期防汛压力陡增。主汛期大致为7月16日至8月15日，历来是防汛工作难度最大的阶段。About one-third of North China's annual precipitation typically falls during those four weeks.华北全年约三分之一的降水都会集中在这四周内。Forecasters said the saturated ground could leave many river basins and mountainous areas more vulnerable to flooding if additional rounds of intense rainfall develop.预报人员表示，土壤含水量已趋于饱和，若后续再遭遇多轮强降雨，各大流域与山区将极易发生洪涝。The center forecasts above-normal precipitation across most of northern China during the upcoming flood-control period, with rainfall expected to exceed seasonal averages by 20 to 50 percent in parts of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Liaoning, Heilongjiang and the Inner Mongolia autonomous region.国家气候中心预测，本轮防汛期北方大部降水仍将偏多，北京、天津、河北、辽宁、黑龙江、内蒙古部分地区降雨量较常年同期偏多20%至50%。Meteorologists warned that some areas could experience extreme downpours capable of triggering floods, flash floods and landslides.气象专家警示，局部地区将出现特大暴雨，极易诱发洪水、山洪以及山体滑坡。"The background of climate warming is making weather more extreme and more complex, while climate patterns themselves are changing," said Chen Tao, chief forecaster at the China Meteorological Administration.国家气象中心首席预报员陈涛表示：“气候变暖大背景下，天气极端性、复杂性持续加剧，各类气候模态也在发生变化。”"As a result, monitoring and forecasting have become more difficult. High-impact extreme weather events are occurring more frequently, often exceeding historical experience and traditional design standards," he said.他说：“这也给监测预报工作带来更大挑战，高影响极端天气频发，其强度时常突破历史纪录与传统设防标准。”Chen said the interaction between global warming and large-scale climate patterns such as El Nino means weather disasters are increasingly occurring simultaneously across multiple regions rather than as isolated events.陈涛指出，全球变暖叠加厄尔尼诺等大尺度气候系统的共同作用，气象灾害不再局限于单一区域，多地同步受灾的情况愈发多见。In response, flood prevention efforts will focus on strengthening weather monitoring and early warning systems in northern river basins while improving coordination among meteorological agencies, the administration said.国家气象局表示，针对这一形势，防汛工作将重点强化北方流域气象监测预警体系，完善各气象部门联动协同机制。Authorities have been urged to intensify monitoring during high-risk periods, such as overnight heavy rainfall, and strengthen emergency coordination for flash floods, geological disasters and flooding along small and medium-sized rivers.各地主管部门被要求加强夜间暴雨等高风险时段的监测值守，完善山洪、地质灾害、中小河流洪水的应急联动处置机制。Residents are advised to pay close attention to weather alerts and avoid entering mountainous areas and river valleys during and immediately after heavy rain, as rapidly developing flash floods are among the deadliest hazards during North China's rainy season.气象部门提醒市民密切关注气象预警，暴雨期间及雨后切勿进入山区、河谷地带；突发性山洪是华北汛期致死风险最高的灾害类型之一。volatile /ˈvɒlətaɪl/多变的precipitation /prɪˌsɪpɪˈteɪʃn/降水量saturated /ˈsætʃəreɪtɪd/饱和的landslide /ˈlændslaɪd/山体滑坡simultaneous /ˌsɪmlˈteɪniəs/同步发生的geological /ˌdʒiːəˈlɒdʒɪkl/地质的
