A regulation aiming to standardize the use of facial recognition technology and protect personal data wasunveiled on Friday, as the increasingly wider application of the security-related tech sparks growing concerns over potential privacy violations in China.

周五，一项规范人脸识别技术的使用和保护个人数据的新规出台，随着这种与安全相关的技术的应用范围不断扩大，引起了公众对潜在隐私侵犯行为的日益关注。

The regulation jointly issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China and the Ministry of Public Security, will come into effect on June 1. It clarifies that the use of the technology should abide by the law, and must not harm national security, public welfare and the legal interests of individuals.

该条例由中国网络空间管理局和公安部联合发布，将于6月1日生效。规定明确，使用人脸识别技术应当遵守法律，不得损害国家安全、社会公共利益和个人合法权益。

Facial recognition technology needs to be used when it is necessary, and should be used in a way that imposes the least intrusion on personal rights and interests, it states, adding that data collected through the technology must be strictly protected.

文件指出，人脸识别技术应在必要时使用，且应遵循对个人权益侵害最小的使用方式，并补充规定，通过该技术收集的数据必须受到严格保护。

Before applying the technology, one is required to inform individuals whose facial data will be collected in a clear manner and using easy-to-understand language that is "truthful, accurate and complete" concerning a variety of matters.

在应用该技术前，应当以清晰易懂的方式向面部数据采集对象履行告知义务，确保告知内容真实、准确、完整，并全面涵盖相关事项。

Such matters include the data collectors' names and contact information, the reason for collecting such data, how the data will be processed and how long the data will be preserved, the regulation stated.

法规明确，相关事项应包括数据收集方名称及联系方式、收集事由、数据处理方式及保存期限等核心要素。

Neither organizations nor individuals are allowed to verify people's identities through facial recognition technology by misleading, dishonest or coercive tactics, nor may they install facial recognition equipment in private spaces, such as hotel rooms, bathhouses, changing rooms and restrooms, it said.

文件明确规定，任何组织或个人既不得采用误导、欺诈或胁迫等不正当手段通过人脸识别技术验证个人身份，亦不得在酒店客房、浴室、更衣室、卫生间等非公开场所安装人脸识别设备。

The regulation also calls for the application of measures such as data encryption, security auditing, access control and intrusion detection to protect the collected facial recognition information.

该法规同时要求落实数据加密、安全审计、访问控制及入侵检测等技术手段，以加强所采集人脸识别信息的防护。

In addition, occasions where the information is processed for the purpose of research and development of facial recognition technology and algorithm training are not subject to the regulation.

此外，出于人脸识别技术研发及算法训练目的处理信息的场景，不适用本规定。

"Facial content is sensitive personal information, which, once leaked, will easily impose major harm on the safety of people and their property, and even threaten public security," the administration said. It added that the regulation has made it clear that facial recognition technology must not be the only method used when other methods of identity verification are available and sufficient for achieving the same purpose.

网信办强调："面部特征属敏感个人信息，一旦泄露容易对人身和财产安全造成重大危害，甚至威胁公共安全。"文件同时明确，当其他身份验证方式足以实现相同目的时，不得将人脸识别作为唯一验证手段。

People who do not agree to undergo facial recognition should be provided with alternative reasonable and convenient verification methods, the administration said. It pointed out that these stipulations target in particular the abuse of facial recognition technology during hotel check-ins and entrances to residential compounds.

对于不同意使用人脸识别的个人，应当提供其他合理便捷的验证方式。相关规定特别针对酒店入住、居民小区出入等场景中滥用人脸识别技术的行为作出规范。

Asian economies, with real GDP growth projected to be 4.5 percent for 2025, will continue to play a crucial role in driving global economic stability and growth, said a report released on Tuesday at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2025.

周二在博鳌亚洲论坛2025年年会上发布的一份报告称，亚洲经济体2025年的实际GDP增长率预计将达到4.5%，将继续在推动全球经济稳定和增长方面发挥关键作用。

The forum comes soon after the China Development Forum 2025, which ended on Monday, and gathered top government officials and business leaders from across the globe. Experts said the forums' key message is crystal clear, that Asia—spearheaded by China—is reinforcing its commitment to openness and stability, presenting a sharp contrast to the rising economic isolation featured by the United States'arbitrary sanctions and tariffs.

此次论坛紧随周一闭幕的中国发展高层论坛2025年年会之后召开，汇集了来自世界各地的政府高官和商界领袖。专家表示，这两大论坛的关键信息非常明确，即以中国为首的亚洲正坚定推动开放和稳定，这与美国任意制裁和关税导致的经济孤立形成鲜明对比。

The "Asian Economic Outlook and Integration Progress Annual Report 2025", which was released on Tuesday, forecast that the share of Asian economies' GDP in the world economy will rise from 36.1 percent in 2024 to 36.4 percent in 2025. In terms of purchasing power parity, a metric comparing economic productivity and standards of living between countries, Asia's share of the global economy is projected to rise from 48.1 percent to 48.6 percent this year.

周二发布的《亚洲经济前景及一体化进程2025年度报告》预测，亚洲经济体GDP占世界经济的比重将从2024年的36.1%上升到2025年的36.4%。按照购买力平价（衡量各国经济生产率和生活水平的指标）计算，今年亚洲在全球经济中的比重预计将从48.1%上升到48.6%。

Economies including China, India, Vietnam, the Philippines, Mongolia, Cambodia and Indonesia are expected to maintain a high growth rate of over 5 percent this year, the report said.

报告指出，中国、印度、越南、菲律宾、蒙古、柬埔寨和印度尼西亚等经济体今年有望保持5%以上的高增长率。

Zhang Yuyan, a renowned economist and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said, "Such an economic performance means that Asia, as a key driver of the world economy, is set to benefit from global economic stabilization in 2025 and will also play a crucial role in contributing to this stability."

著名经济学家、中国社会科学院学部委员张宇燕表示：“这样的经济表现意味着，作为全球经济的重要引擎，亚洲将在2025年受益于全球经济的稳定，并在其中发挥关键作用。”

The report also said that despite economic uncertainties, including monetary policy shifts in major economies such as the US and the European Union, andgeopolitical tensions, most Asian stock markets are expected to maintain an upward trend this year.

报告还指出，尽管面临包括美国和欧盟主要经济体货币政策调整及地缘政治紧张局势等不确定因素，但大多数亚洲股市今年预计仍将保持上行趋势。

Amid such growth, China remains the region's most attractive destination for foreign investors. China's vibrant innovation in fields such as artificial intelligence, reflected by DeepSeek, has reinforced its status as asafe haven for entrepreneurship in a world where US sanctions pose increasing risks.

在这样的增长态势下，中国依然是该地区最具吸引力的外资目的地。DeepSeek所反映的中国在人工智能等领域的蓬勃创新，巩固了其在美国制裁风险日益增加的世界中作为创业“避风港”的地位。

Zhou Xiaochuan, a former governor of the People's Bank of China, said at the conference: "China is responding to global demands with responsibility and courage, continuing to provide stability and certainty to the world. As the year 2025 marks the conclusion of China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), China will further deepen comprehensive reforms and expand high-level opening-up.

中国人民银行前行长周小川在会议上表示：“中国正以责任和勇气回应全球需求，持续为世界提供稳定性和确定性。是中国‘十四五’规划（2021—2025年）的收官之年，中国将进一步深化全面改革，扩大高水平对外开放。”

"China will adopt a more proactive fiscal policy and a moderately accommodative monetary policy, boost consumption, enhance investment efficiency and expand domestic demand across all sectors," he said.

他说：“中国将采取更加积极的财政政策和适度宽松的货币政策，促进消费，提高投资效率，扩大各领域内需。”

Notably, the report highlighted that the trade war, which was initiated by the US in 2018, has not improved the US' standing in global manufacturing value chains. Instead, the gap between China and the US in this sector has widened.

值得注意的是，报告强调，美国自2018年发起的贸易战并未提升其在全球制造业价值链中的地位，反而加大了中美在该领域的差距。

Global intermediate goods trade has become more dependent on China than on North America. In 2023, the dependency on China stood at 16 percent, compared with 15 percent for North America, the report said.

全球中间产品贸易对中国的依赖程度已经超过对北美的依赖程度。报告指出，全球对中国的依赖度为16%，而对北美的依赖度为15%。

Lin Guijun, former vice-president of the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said: "The latest US tariffs have an impact on all major trade partners, not just China. Other nations are reacting in a fragmented and weak manner, lacking coordinated responses."

北京对外经济贸易大学原副校长林桂军表示：“美国最新的关税政策影响的不仅是中国，而是所有主要贸易伙伴。其他国家的反应零散而薄弱，缺乏协调一致的应对措施。”

Zhang, from the CASS, said: "While international cooperation once aimed at mutual benefit, many nations have shifted toward azero-sum game, and with the US' new trade measures, the situation has now worsened to anegative-sum game, where countries accept their own losses as long as their rivals suffer even more."

中国社会科学院的张宇燕表示：“国际合作本应以互惠共赢为目标，但许多国家如今正转向零和博弈。随着美国出台新的贸易措施，情况进一步恶化，演变成负和博弈——即各国宁愿自身受损，也要让竞争对手遭受更大损失。”

"But the world needs a more open economy based on cooperation and shared prosperity. True success comes not just from personal gain but from lifting others up as well," he said.

“但世界需要一个基于合作和共同繁荣的更加开放的经济。真正的成功不仅在于自身获益，还在于能够带动他人共同发展。”他说。

With the theme of "Asia in the Changing World: Towards a Shared Future", the four-day event has attracted nearly 2,000 participants from more than 60 countries and regions, according to the forum's organizing committee.

据论坛组委会介绍，本届论坛的主题为“变局中的亚洲：迈向共同未来 ”，为期四天，吸引了来自60多个国家和地区的近2000名与会者。。

Claus Rettig, president of German specialty chemicals giant Evonik Asia Pacific, who is attending this year's forum, said: "We have unwavering confidence in China's growth. The Asia-Pacific region is one of Evonik's fastest-expanding markets, and China sits at its core with the largest market share.

德国特种化学品巨头赢创亚太区总裁克劳斯·雷蒂格在本届论坛上表示：“我们对中国的增长前景充满信心。亚太地区是赢创增长最快的市场之一，而中国是其核心，拥有最大的市场份额。”

"China is the world's top chemical market, backed by a robustinfrastructure and a deeply integrated supply chain," he added. "We see China's economic strength as a solid foundation for growth and remain committed to expanding our investment here."

“作为全球最大的化工市场，中国拥有坚实的基础设施和高度一体化的供应链。”他补充道，“我们认为中国的经济实力是增长的坚实基础，并将继续扩大在华投资。”

United States intelligence agencies have been secretly collecting data from cellphone users around the world by using hacking tools to access SIM cards and operating systems, and they also target Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and mobile networks to track users without their knowledge, according to a newly released cybersecurity report.

最新发布的网络安全报告显示，美国情报机构一直利用黑客工具入侵SIM卡和操作系统，秘密收集全球手机用户数据，并在用户不知情的情况下，利用Wi-Fi、蓝牙、GPS和移动网络对用户进行跟踪。

Such large-scale and long-term activities have seriously endangered the cybersecurity and national security of countries around the world, according to the report, titled "Mobile Cyberattacks Conducted by US Intelligence Agencies", which was published on Tuesday by the China Cybersecurity Industry Alliance.

中国网络安全产业联盟周二发布的《美情报机构针对全球移动智能终端实施的监听窃密活动》报告指出，这种大规模、长期的活动严重危害全球网络安全和各国国家安全。

At the same time, US intelligence agencies have targeted data centers of major internet and information technology vendors, and even the entire mobile industry ecosystem, the report said, adding that they extensively steal personal data, account credentials, device information, communication links and geolocation data.

报告还提到，美国情报机构还将主要互联网和信息技术供应商的数据中心，甚至整个移动行业生态系统作为攻击目标，广泛窃取个人数据、账户凭证、设备信息、通信链路和地理位置数据。

Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a regular news conference on Tuesday in Beijing that it is worth noting that the report revealed that the US is the world's primary country conducting network attacks through the supply chain and mobile operators.

外交部发言人郭嘉昆在周二于北京举行的例行记者会上表示，值得注意的是，报告显示美国是全球通过供应链和移动运营商进行网络攻击的主要国家。

"Over the years, the US has been accustomed to crying 'stop thief' on supply chain security issues, manipulating double standards, and vigorously hyping the so-called '5G supply chain security issues', while cooperating with major internet companies or equipment suppliers in its own country topreinstall back doors in global information equipment products, serving its own network attack activities," Guo said.

“多年来，美国习惯于在供应链安全问题上喊‘捉贼’，搞双重标准，大肆炒作所谓‘5G供应链安全问题’，同时又联合本国主要互联网公司或设备供应商，在全球信息设备产品中预装后门，为其网络攻击活动提供便利。”郭嘉昆说。

The report gathered a large number of disclosures and analyses from the industry and academia on the network intelligence activities carried out by US intelligence agencies against mobile smartterminals, so that precautionary measures can be taken.

报告汇集了业界和学术界对美国情报机构针对移动智能终端开展的网络情报活动的大量披露和分析，以便相关方能采取预防措施。

The "2023 Facts and Figures" report released by the International Telecommunication Union in November 2023 said that the mobile phone ownership rate among the global population age 10 and above is 78 percent, and the coverage of mobile broadband with 3G and above in the total global population is 95 percent.

根据国际电信联盟2023年11月发布的《2023年事实与数据》报告，全球10岁及以上人口的手机持有率已达到78%，而3G及以上移动宽带的全球覆盖率达95%。

According to theChina Cybersecurity Industry Alliance report, by exploiting SIM card vulnerabilities, US intelligence agencies enable their attacks to bypass mobile operating systems and device brands to track user locations andintercept phone calls.

中国网络安全产业联盟的报告指出，美国情报机构利用SIM卡漏洞，使其攻击能够绕过移动操作系统和设备品牌，追踪用户位置并拦截电话。

Technically, all brands and models of cellphones and wearable devices with SIM cards, regardless of the operating system installed, can beexploited as long as there is a vulnerability in the inserted SIM card.

从技术上讲，只要SIM卡存在漏洞，无论安装何种操作系统，所有品牌和型号的手机及配备SIM卡的可穿戴设备都可能成为攻击目标。

In addition, US intelligence agencies have further strengthened theirsurveillance and intelligence acquisition capabilities in the area of mobile networks through the use and control of commercial spyware. For example, through the use of the Israeli spyware Pegasus, the US has carried out wiretapping on a number of heads of state and political figures, including those of France and Pakistan, the report said.

此外，美国情报机构还通过使用和控制商业间谍软件，进一步加强了其在移动网络领域的监控和情报获取能力。例如报告中提到，美国通过使用以色列间谍软件“飞马”，对包括法国、巴基斯坦等多国国家元首及政治人物进行窃听。

Guo added that it is believed that the report will help the international community see the true face of the US. China urges the US to immediately stop such actions, especially the use of the global supply chain to carry outmalicious cyber activities, and to give an explanation to the world in a responsible manner, he said.

郭嘉昆还表示，相信这份报告将有助于国际社会认清美国的真实面目。中国敦促美国立即停止此类行为，尤其是停止利用全球供应链开展恶意网络活动，并以负责任的态度向国际社会作出解释。

China's economic transition is gaining momentum as initiatives to boost consumption and drive innovation take center stage, which will inject greater certainty into the global economic landscape and provide broader space in which multinational companies can thrive, officials and executives said on Sunday.

官员和高管于周日表示，随着促进消费和推动创新的举措成为焦点，中国经济转型势头强劲，这将为全球经济格局注入更大的确定性，并为跨国公司的发展提供更广阔的空间。

China will combine robust policy support and the unleashing of market forces as it strives to achieve its economic growth target of around 5 percent this year, and policymakers are well prepared to introduce new incremental policies if necessary, Premier Li Qiang said in Beijing at the opening ceremony of the two-day China Development Forum 2025.

李强总理在北京出席为期两天的中国发展高层论坛2025年开幕式时表示，中国将结合强有力的政策支持和市场力量的释放，努力实现今年5%左右的经济增长目标，政策制定者已做好在必要时推出新的增量政策的准备。

The recent dynamism observed in China's consumer market, particularly in the film, winter sports and cultural tourism sectors, has pointed to the vast potential of the country's domestic economic circulation, Li said.

李强指出，近期中国消费市场，尤其是电影、冬季运动和文化旅游领域的活力，展现了国内经济循环的巨大潜力。

The theme of this year's forum is "Unleashing Development Momentum for Stable Growth of the Global Economy".

今年论坛的主题是“释放发展动力，促进全球经济稳定增长”。

Han Wenxiu, executive deputy director of the Office of the Central Commission for Financial and Economic Affairs, said that China is set to enhance people's consumption capacity, to ensure they have the financial means and the willingness to consume. These initiatives go beyond merely promoting economic growth and productivity, he said.

中央财经委员会办公室常务副主任韩文秀表示，中国将提高居民消费能力，确保他们具备消费的经济条件和消费意愿。他说，这些举措不仅仅是促进经济增长和生产力提升。

The initiatives also seek to increase the income of urban and rural residents, optimize the income distribution structure and elevate the share of household income in overall national income, Han said.

他还表示，这些举措还将促进城乡居民收入的增加，优化收入分配结构，提高居民收入在国民总收入中的比重。

Liu Shijin, former deputy director of the Development Research Center of the State Council, noted that "China faces a critical transition from an investment- and export-driven growth model to one fueled by innovation and consumption".

国务院发展研究中心原副主任刘世锦指出，“中国正面临从投资和出口驱动型增长模式向创新和消费驱动型增长模式的关键转型”。

"While structural imbalances in consumption present major challenges, resolving them could unlock growth potential comparable to that once provided by the real estate sector. This transformation would establish a foundation for sustained medium-speed economic growth, ensuring stability for China's economy in the years ahead," Liu said.

“尽管消费结构失衡带来了重大挑战，但解决这些问题有望释放出与曾经房地产行业相当的增长潜力。这一转型将为持续的中速经济增长奠定基础，确保未来几年中国经济的稳定，”刘世锦表示。

Premier Li stressed at the forum that the continuous emergence of technological advancements by Chinese tech startups such as DeepSeek and Unitree Robotics has showcased the country's immense capability for innovation and creativity.

李强总理在论坛上强调，中国科技初创企业如DeepSeek、宇树科技等不断涌现的技术进步，展示了中国强大的创新创造能力。

Minister of Finance Lan Fo'an, said that this year, China will scale up its funding to the sci-tech sector to expedite breakthroughs in critical and core technologies, stressing that a variety of policy tools will be used, including tax incentives and investment funds, to drive the "AI Plus" initiative and foster the growth of emerging and future industries.

财政部部长兰福安表示，今年中国将加大对科技领域的资金投入，加速关键核心技术的突破，并强调将运用税收优惠和投资基金等多种政策工具，推动“人工智能+”行动，促进新兴产业和未来产业发展。

Policymakers are committed to implementing measures that promote the development of the private sector, providing tangible assistance to enterprises, so that they can innovate and thrive, Lan said.

兰福安表示，政策制定者致力于实施促进民营经济发展的措施，为企业提供切实帮助，使其能够创新发展。

Executives attending the forum said that amid the growing uncertainties in the global economy marked by rising protectionism, it is more important than ever for nations to open up their markets and for businesses to pool their resources, in order to jointly tackle challenges and achieve shared growth.

与会的高管们表示，在保护主义抬头、全球经济不确定性增加的背景下，各国开放市场、企业集中资源、共同应对挑战、实现共同增长比以往任何时候都更为重要。

"We expect China to remain an engine for global growth in 2025 and across this decade," said Georges Elhedery, group chief executive of HSBC Holdings, adding that he is confident that in the long run, China will remain a thriving, sustainable economy at the heart of global trade and investment and at the forefront of innovation.

汇丰控股集团首席执行官乔治·埃尔赫德里表示：“我们预计中国将在2025年及未来十年继续成为全球经济增长的引擎。”他相信，从长远来看，中国仍将是一个蓬勃发展的可持续经济体，位居全球贸易和投资的核心，并走在创新的前沿。

Cristiano Amon, president and CEO of Qualcomm, told China Daily that he was excited by the innovation from DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence startup.

高通总裁兼首席执行官克里斯蒂亚诺·阿蒙在接受《中国日报》采访时表示，他对中国人工智能初创公司DeepSeek的创新感到兴奋。

"Our Chinese partners are very excited at embracing AI, and Qualcomm will expand our cooperation with them in the future," Amon said, adding that he believes technology will play an important role in spurring economic growth.

阿蒙表示：“我们的中国合作伙伴对拥抱人工智能非常兴奋，高通未来将扩大与他们的合作。”他还表示，技术将在推动经济增长中发挥重要作用。

Li Lecheng, Party secretary of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that China has become the world's second-largest contributor to the global open-source community and the fastest-growing country in this field.

工业和信息化部党委书记李乐成表示，中国已成为全球开源社区第二大贡献国，并且是该领域发展最快的国家。

An open-source community is a collective of users, developers and contributors centered around a project in which the source code is freely available for modification and redistribution.

开源社区是一个由用户、开发者和贡献者组成的集体，围绕一个项目展开，该项目的源代码可以自由修改和再分发。

"We will support foreign-funded enterprises to establish research and development centers in China, and to further promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the country," Li Lecheng said.

“我们将支持外资企业在华设立研发中心，进一步推动中国创新创业。”李乐成说道。

More efforts will be made to facilitate the translation of scientific and technological progress into practical applications, he said, adding that the country also encourages foreign enterprises to participate in such initiatives.

他还表示，中国将加大力度促进科技进步向实际应用转化，并鼓励外资企业参与此类举措。

Pascal Soriot, CEO of AstraZeneca, said the strong signals from this year's Government Work Report, which reaffirmed China's commitment to science, innovation and opening-up, are highly encouraging.

阿斯利康首席执行官帕斯卡尔·索里奥表示，今年政府工作报告再次重申了中国对科学、创新和开放的承诺，传递出的信号令人鼓舞。

"We have been investing in science and innovation for many years in China, and we plan to invest even more in the future," Soriot said.

Crew members of the Shenzhou XIX mission have conducted their third spacewalk outside the Tiangong space station, completing several assignments, according to the China Manned Space Agency.

据中国载人航天工程办公室称，神舟十九号飞船机组人员在天宫空间站外进行了第三次太空行走，完成了多项任务。

In a news release, the agency said that mission commander Senior Colonel Cai Xuzhe and crew member Lieutenant Colonel Song Lingdong returned to the Wentian science module at 8:50 pm on Friday after floating for nearly seven hours outside the colossal orbital station.

该机构在一份新闻稿中表示，任务指挥员蔡旭哲大校和机组人员宋凌东中校在巨型轨道站外漂浮近七个小时后，于周五晚上8点50分返回问天科学舱。

The third crew member, Lieutenant Colonel Wang Haoze, stayed inside Tiangong to provide support, it said.

第三名航天员王浩泽中校留在天宫内，提供支持。

With support from ground controllers and the use of a robotic arm, the team completed all their assigned tasks, including installing a space debris shield and external assistance devices and checking the condition of extravehicular equipment, the agency said.

该机构表示，在地面控制人员的支持和机械臂的帮助下，团队完成了所有分配的任务，包括安装空间碎片防护罩和外部辅助设备，以及检查舱外设备状况。

The spacewalk was the 20th carried out by Chinese astronauts. It also marked the fifth time Cai participated in such task, making him the first Chinese to have achieved this.

此次太空行走是中国航天员进行的第20次太空行走。同时也是蔡旭哲第五次执行太空行走任务，这使他成为首位五次完成此项任务的中国人

The 48-year-old carried out two spacewalks during his first orbital journey in the Shenzhou XIV mission in the second half of 2022.

这位48岁的航天员在2022年下半年执行神舟十四号任务时，完成了两次太空行走。

During the current ShenzhouXIX（nineteen） mission, Cai made his third spacewalk with Song on Dec 17, spending more than nine hours outside Tiangong. That operation set a world record for the longest spacewalk, exceeding the previous one of eight hours and 56 minutes set by United States astronauts in March 2001.

在当前的神舟十九号任务中，蔡旭哲与宋凌东于12月17日进行第三次太空行走，在天宫外停留了9个多小时。这次行动创下了最长太空行走的世界纪录，超过了2001年3月美国宇航员创下的8小时56分钟的纪录。

His fourth spacewalk took place on Jan 20 and 21, also with Song.

他的第四次太空行走于1月20日和21日进行，宋宇航员也参与其中。

The Shenzhou XIX trio, the eighth group of inhabitants of the Chinese space station, were launched on Oct 30 by a Long March 2F carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China and arrived at the orbital outpost later that day to take over from their peers in the Shenzhou XVIII flight.

神舟十九号的三人组是中国空间站的第八批驻员，他们于10月30日通过长征二号F运载火箭从位于中国西北部的酒泉卫星发射中心发射，并于当天晚些时候抵达轨道站，接替神舟十八号航天员。

Since their arrival, Cai's crew have been engaged in a host of science and technology tasks that progressed smoothly. The crew is expected to return to Earth in late April or early May, according to the space agency.

自抵达以来，蔡旭哲的机组人员一直从事一系列科学技术任务，进展顺利。据该航天机构透露，机组人员预计将于四月底或五月初返回地球。

Kirsty Coventry was elected as the 10th president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Thursday, making history as the first woman and the first African to lead the global Olympic movement.
柯丝蒂・考文垂于上周四当选为国际奥林匹克委员会（国际奥委会）第 10 任主席，成为领导全球奥林匹克运动的首位女性和首位非洲人，创造了历史。

The election was conducted through a secret ballot by over 100 IOC members during the 144th IOC Session in Greece. The 41-year-old, who won the vote in the first round, will officially take office after June 23, succeeding Thomas Bach, who has served as president since 2013.
此次选举在希腊举行的国际奥委会第 144 届全会期间，由 100 多名国际奥委会委员通过无记名投票进行。这位 41 岁的女性在第一轮投票中胜出，她将在 6 月 23 日后正式就职，接替自 2013 年起担任主席的托马斯・巴赫。

"An extraordinary moment. As a 9-year-old girl, I never thought that I would be standing up here one day, getting to give back to this incredible movement of ours," Coventry said after her name was announced by Bach.
“这是一个非凡的时刻。在我 9 岁的时候，我从未想过有一天我会站在这里，能够回报我们这个令人难以置信的运动。” 在巴赫宣布她当选后，考文垂说道。

In the first round of voting, a total of 97 valid ballots were cast since IOC members from a candidate's National Olympic Committee (NOC) were not eligible to vote. Coventry received 49 votes, securing the majority from the valid votes needed for the election. Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr. finished second with 28 votes.
在第一轮投票中，由于来自候选人所在国家奥林匹克委员会（NOC）的国际奥委会委员没有投票资格，共投出了 97 张有效选票。考文垂获得了 49 票，在选举所需的有效选票中获得了多数票。小胡安・安东尼奥・萨马兰奇以 28 票位居第二。

"Congratulations to Kirsty Coventry on her election as the 10th IOC president. I warmly welcome the decision of the IOC members and look forward to strong cooperation, particularly during the transition period. There is no doubt that the future for our Olympic movement is bright and that the values we stand for will continue to guide us through the years to come," Bach said.
“祝贺柯丝蒂・考文垂当选国际奥委会第 10 任主席。我热烈欢迎国际奥委会委员们的这一决定，并期待着紧密合作，特别是在过渡时期。毫无疑问，我们奥林匹克运动的未来是光明的，我们所秉持的价值观将在未来的岁月里继续指引着我们。” 巴赫说道。

Coventry's presidency is set for an eight-year term, with the possibility of seeking a four-year extension.
考文垂的任期为八年，且有可能寻求延长四年。

"It is a reminder of my commitment to every single one of you that I will lead this organization with so much pride, with the values at the core. And I will make all of you very very proud and hopefully extremely confident in the decision that you've taken today," she added.
“这提醒着我对你们每一个人的承诺，我将怀着无比的自豪，以核心价值观来领导这个组织。我会让你们所有人都非常非常骄傲，并且希望你们对今天所做出的决定充满信心。” 她补充道。

President Xi Jinping has urged Yunnan province to explore new prospects for high-quality development on the path toward Chinese modernization.


Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks during an inspection tour in the southwestern province on Wednesday and Thursday.


He also underlined the need for the province to leverage its unique geographical advantages to actively promote high-standard opening-up, in order to build itself into a hub linking the countries of South Asia and Southeast Asia.


The two-day inspection tour took Xi to the cities of Lijiang and Kunming, with his attention focused on the local floral economy, cultural heritage protection and the development of ethnic minority areas.


The visit follows his inspection tour in neighboring Guizhou province on Monday and Tuesday.


Xi visited the Lijiang Modern Flower Industry Park and the Old Town of Lijiang on Wednesday, learning about local efforts to develop specialty agriculture based on regional conditions as well as efforts to promote the cultural tourism industry.


In the flower industry park, Xi talked with villagers and technicians working there, learning about the flower varieties, market sales and their incomes.


The villagers told Xi that they earn over 4,000 yuan ($550) each month, with their incomes exceeding 7,000 yuan during peak seasons. Flowers represent a truly joyful job, they added.


Xi said with delight: "Your endeavor is thriving and aligns with the development path of modern agriculture. May your lives be as beautiful as flowers."


Noting that the flower industry in Yunnan has broad prospects, he underlined the need to focus on the entire industry chain to make this "beautiful industry" become a "happy industry" that benefits local people.


While touring the Old Town of Lijiang, which boasts a history of more than 800 years, Xi emphasized that the cultural tourism industry should follow a path of sustainable and healthy development.


Walking along a stone-paved road, Xi occasionally paused to chat with the tourists. "The town's culture, scenery and folk traditions are truly captivating," Xi said, adding that the integration of culture and tourism has boosted the economy.


He asked local authorities to strike a balance between protection and development of heritage to make the Old Town of Lijiang shine with fresh brilliance.


Visiting the Mufu Mansion, once the residential and working site of the Naxi rulers of Lijiang in ancient times that witnessed exchanges and integration among various ethnic groups in southwestern China, Xi called for passing on the fine traditional Chinese culture and guiding people of all ethnic groups to consciously foster a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.


On Thursday, Xi heard a work report by Yunnan provincial authorities. He urged the province to advance industrial transformation and upgrading based on actual conditions.


Yunnan should leverage technological innovation to expand resource-based industries, actively develop strategic emerging industries and future industries, and accelerate the development of specialty agriculture and cultural tourism, Xi said.


Efforts should be made to promote industries to grow in value, enterprises to improve efficiency, and people's wallets to get fuller, he said.


While emphasizing the need to promote opening-up, Xi underlined the need for the province to advance the construction of pilot free-trade zones with high quality and enhance the development of transportation, logistics, energy, digital information and other sectors.


Efforts should be made to expand economic, technological, talent, medical and cultural exchanges, as well as collaboration with neighboring countries to make high-quality cooperation on the Belt and Road Initiative tangible and accessible, he said.


Xi highlighted Yunnan's crucial role in ecological conservation, saying that the province must resolutely follow the path of green development and build a solid ecological security barrier in Southwest China.


He urged Yunnan to improve the system of natural protected areas with national parks as the mainstay, strengthen ecosystem conservation and restoration, and continue efforts in combating desertification, soil erosion, and the comprehensive management of small watersheds.


More efforts should be made to effectively advance pollution prevention and control in key areas as well as environmental governance of key lakes, he said.


Saying that Yunnan is home to a diverse range of ethnic groups, Xi emphasized the need to take vigorous actions to help the border areas develop and local residents become prosperous, and effectively uphold ethnic unity and ensure the stability of border areas.


On Thursday morning, Xi also met with military officers stationed in Kunming, grassroots role models, and other representatives.

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams returned to Earth in one of Elon Musk's SpaceX capsules on Tuesday, splashing down off Florida nine months after what originally was to be a weeklong stay on the International Space Station.
美国国家航空航天局（NASA）宇航员布奇・威尔莫尔（Butch Wilmore）和苏尼・威廉姆斯（Suni Williams）于周二乘坐埃隆・马斯克（Elon Musk）旗下太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）的一个太空舱返回地球。他们原本计划在国际空间站停留一周，可实际上在太空待了九个月后，在佛罗里达州附近海域溅落。

The re-entry began when Wilmore and Williams strapped inside their Crew Dragon spacecraft along with two other astronauts and undocked from the ISS at 1.05 am ET Tuesday to embark on a 17-hour trip to Earth, bidding farewell to the station's seven other astronauts.
美国东部时间周二凌晨 1 点 05 分，威尔莫尔、威廉姆斯与另外两名宇航员一起系好安全带，进入 “龙” 飞船（Crew Dragon），并与国际空间站脱离对接，开启了为期 17 小时的返回地球之旅，同时向空间站的其他七名宇航员告别，由此开始了重返地球的行程。

The four-person crew, formally part of NASA's Crew-9 astronaut-rotation mission, re-entered Earth's atmosphere around 5:45 pm. ET. Using Earth's atmosphere and two sets of parachutes, the craft slowed its orbital speed of roughly 17,000 mph to 17 mph at splashdown off Tallahassee in the Gulf of America.
这四名宇航员是美国国家航空航天局（NASA）第 9 批宇航员轮换任务的正式成员，他们于美国东部时间下午 5 点 45 分左右重返地球大气层。利用地球大气层和两组降落伞，飞船在佛罗里达州塔拉哈西附近的美国海湾溅落时，将大约每小时 17000 英里的轨道速度降至每小时 17 英里。

Dolphins circled the capsule as divers readied it for hoisting onto the recovery ship, which delighted many on social media."DOLPHINS are hanging around the astronauts splashdown!" wrote Matt Pieper on X."
当潜水员准备将太空舱吊起运上回收船时，海豚在太空舱周围游动，这一景象让许多社交媒体用户感到欣喜。马特・派珀（Matt Pieper）在 X 平台（原推特）上写道：“海豚在宇航员溅落的地方游来游去！”

The Dolphins arrive right on schedule," posted Western Lensman.Within an hour, the astronauts were out of their capsule, waving and smiling at the cameras while being taken away in stretchers for routine medical checks.
“西部摄影师”（Western Lensman）发文称：“海豚准时抵达。” 不到一个小时，宇航员们就从太空舱中出来了，他们躺在担架上被抬走进行常规身体检查，同时对着镜头挥手微笑。

The two veteran NASA astronauts, who are both retired US Navy test pilots, had launched into space as Boeing Starliner's first crew in June for what was expected to be an eight-day test mission.
这两名美国国家航空航天局的资深宇航员都是退役的美国海军试飞员，他们于 6 月作为波音 “星际客机”（Starliner）的首批机组人员进入太空，原计划执行一项为期 8 天的测试任务。

But issues with Starliner's propulsion system led to continuous delays for their return home when NASA decided to have them take a SpaceX craft back this year as part of the agency's crew-rotation schedule.
但由于 “星际客机” 推进系统出现问题，他们的归期不断推迟，于是美国国家航空航天局决定让他们今年乘坐太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）的飞船返回，这也是该机构宇航员轮换计划的一部分。

The replacement crew's brand-new SpaceX capsule still wasn't ready to fly, so SpaceX replaced it with a used one, moving things along by at least a few weeks.
接替他们的机组人员所使用的全新 SpaceX 太空舱当时仍未准备好飞行，所以太空探索技术公司用一个用过的太空舱替代，这至少让任务进程提前了几周。

The mission took an unexpected turn in late January when President Donald Trump asked SpaceX founder Elon Musk to speed up the astronauts' return and blamed the delay on the Biden administration."
今年 1 月下旬，任务出现了意想不到的转折，唐纳德・特朗普总统要求太空探索技术公司创始人埃隆・马斯克加快宇航员的返回速度，并将延迟归咎于拜登政府。

Congratulations to the @SpaceX and @NASA teams for another safe astronaut return! Thank you to @POTUS for prioritizing this mission!"Musk wrote on X on Tuesday evening."PROMISE MADE, PROMISE KEPT: President Trump pledged to rescue the astronauts stranded in space for nine months.
“祝贺 @太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）和 @美国国家航空航天局（NASA）团队又一次安全地将宇航员送回地球！感谢 @美国总统重视这项任务！” 马斯克周二晚上在 X 平台上写道。“言出必行：特朗普总统曾承诺营救被困太空长达九个月的宇航员。

Today, they safely splashed down in the Gulf of America, thanks to @ElonMusk, @SpaceX, and @NASA,"the White House X account posted.Veteran reporter Geraldo Rivera wrote on X:"Musk brought the astronauts back.
今天，多亏了 @埃隆・马斯克（Elon Musk）、@太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）和 @美国国家航空航天局（NASA），他们安全地在美国海湾溅落。” 白宫的 X 账号发文称。资深记者杰拉尔多・里维拉（Geraldo Rivera）在 X 平台上写道：“马斯克把宇航员带回来了。

Boeing couldn't. NASA didn't. SpaceX rocks."
波音公司做不到。美国国家航空航天局也没做到。太空探索技术公司太厉害了。”

Wilmore, 62, and Williams, 59, ended up spending 286 days in space — 278 days longer than anticipated when they launched. They circled Earth 4,576 times and traveled 121 million miles (195 million kilometers) by the time of splashdown."On behalf of SpaceX, welcome home," radioed SpaceX Mission Control in California."
62 岁的威尔莫尔和 59 岁的威廉姆斯最终在太空度过了 286 天 —— 比他们发射时预计的时间长了 278 天。到溅落时，他们绕地球飞行了 4576 圈，飞行了 1.21 亿英里（1.95 亿公里）。“代表太空探索技术公司，欢迎回家。” 加利福尼亚的太空探索技术公司任务控制中心通过无线电说道。

"What a ride," replied Hague, the capsule's commander. "I see a capsule full of grins ear to ear."
“这一趟旅程可真不简单啊。” 太空舱指挥官黑格（Hague）回应道。“我看到太空舱里的人都笑得合不拢嘴。”

NASA hired SpaceX and Boeing after the shuttle program ended, in order to have two competing US companies for transporting astronauts to and from the space station until it's abandoned in 2030.
航天飞机项目结束后，美国国家航空航天局聘请了太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）和波音公司，目的是让这两家美国公司相互竞争，负责将宇航员往返运送到空间站，直到 2030 年空间站被废弃。

By then, the station will have been up there more than three decades; the plan is to replace it with privately run stations so NASA can focus on moon and Mars expeditions.
到那时，空间站将已经在太空中运行了三十多年；计划是用私人运营的空间站取代它，这样美国国家航空航天局就可以专注于月球和火星的探索任务。

The ISS, about 254 miles (409 km) in altitude, is a football field-sized research lab that has been housed continuously by international crews of astronauts for nearly 25 years, a key platform of science diplomacy managed primarily by the US and Russia.
国际空间站（ISS）海拔约 254 英里（409 公里），是一个足球场大小的研究实验室，近 25 年来一直有国际宇航员团队持续驻留，它是由美国和俄罗斯主要管理的科学外交关键平台。
