Companies fined in anti-monopoly efforts︱多家巨头违反《反垄断法》被罚

China's top market regulator fined companies including Alibaba Group, Baidu Inc and Tencent Holdings Ltd for violating the Anti-Monopoly Law, which industry experts said on Sunday is a broader part of normalized antitrust efforts following the recent setup of the anti-monopoly bureau.

近日，国家市场监督管理总局对阿里巴巴（中国）网络技术有限公司、百度在线网络技术（北京）有限公司和腾讯控股有限公司等违反《中华人民共和国反垄断法》的企业作出行政处罚决定。业内专家指出，《反垄断法》是继反垄断局挂牌后，深入推进常态化反垄断执法的重要部分。

Specifically, these companies failed to declare the concentration of business operators according to law. Concentration of business operators means that a business operator obtains control over another in the same business, which may lead to monopoly.

具体而言，受罚企业均构成未依法申报违法实施经营者集中。经营者集中，是指一个或多个个人或企业获得对其他企业全部或部分的控制权。若经济力量过度集中，则会导致垄断。

On Saturday, the State Administration for Market Regulation imposed a 500,000 yuan ($78,000) fine for each of 43 cases that violated the Anti-Monopoly Law. None of these deals, however, had the effect of eliminating or restricting competition, the market regulation authority said on its website.

11月20日，国家市场监督管理总局对43起违反《中华人民共和国反垄断法》的案件立案调查，对涉案企业分别处以50万元罚款。而市场监管总局在其网站上进一步表示，“评估认为上述案件不具有排除、限制竞争效果”。

"Through a series of anti-monopoly efforts recently, the country's antitrust law enforcement has become more systematic and normalized. The nation has striven to draw a clear bottom line and set up a red light for all companies," said Wang Jian, an expert at the advisory group of the Anti-Monopoly Commission of the State Council, China's Cabinet, and a professor of law at Zhejiang Sci-Tech University.

浙江理工大学法政学院教授、国务院反垄断委员会专家咨询组成员王健指出，最新出台的一系列反垄断举措，标志着国家反垄断执法变得愈发系统化、规范化；政府已划出清晰的法律底线，为所有公司亮起红灯。

Of the 43 cases, 13 involved Tencent and its subsidiaries, including the tech company's acquisition of China Medonline Inc. Up to 12 cases were related to Alibaba and its subsidiaries, including its acquisition of the mapping company Amap and purchase of stakes in the food delivery company Ele.me.

立案调查的43起案件中，13起涉及腾讯及其收购的，如中国医疗在线等多家子公司；12起涉及阿里巴巴及其收购或入股的多家子公司，其中就包括“高德地图”——高德软件控股有限公司和在线外卖平台饿了么。

"The review takes the form of prior supervision for business activities that have or may have the effect of eliminating or restricting competition. It is an effective way to avoid restricting of competition in the market," said Zhong Gang, executive director of the Competition Law Research Institute at the East China University of Political Science and Law in Shanghai.

华东政法大学竞争法研究中心钟刚介绍称，“对具有或可能具有排除、限制竞争效果的商业活动采取事先监督的审查形式，是避免垄断的有效途径”。

"Asking companies to declare the concentration of business operators will help maintain a fair competition environment for all market entities, which ultimately will protect consumers' interests," he added.

他补充说，要求企业申报经营者集中，有助于为所有市场主体维持公平竞争的环境，旨在保护消费者的利益。

The move also came as China launched an anti-monopoly bureau on Thursday that is located in the same building as the State Administration for Market Regulation in Beijing. Gan Lin, currently vice-minister of the market regulation authority, was appointed to head the bureau.

11月18日，国家反垄断局正式挂牌，与国家市场监管总局三里河办公区同楼。国家市场监管总局副局长甘霖成为国家反垄断局首任局长。

"Such new changes reflect that the country is enriching in-house capabilities for greater enforcement and autonomy regarding antitrust matters," said Liu Xu, a research fellow at Tsinghua University's National Strategy Institute.

清华大学国家战略研究院特约研究员刘旭表示，这些新变化均反映出国家正在强化内部能力，以充实反垄断执法力量，加强反垄断执法的自主性。

"It is also part of China's broader efforts to align with antitrust law enforcement of the United States and Europe, both of which have a much larger antitrust workforce than that of China," Liu added.

刘旭还补充道，当前欧盟委员会、美国联邦政府的反垄断执法人员都远多于国内，与美国和欧洲反垄断执法部门保持一致，也展现出中国对与中国市场有关的所有贸易伙伴国负责的态度。

"Harry Potter" Cast To Kick Off 2022 With 20th Anniversary "Return to Hogwarts" Reunion Special︱活久见！哈利波特主演重聚庆祝20周年，艾玛·沃森发文感恩相遇

When the clock strikes midnight on New Year′s Eve, 2022 will bring with it the HBO Max premiere of Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts. The retrospective special will feature stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson joining director Chris Columbus for a celebration of the beloved franchise.

当迎接2022年新年的钟声敲响时，《哈利·波特20周年纪念：重返霍格沃茨》将在HBO Max首映。回顾特辑将邀请丹尼尔·雷德克里夫、鲁伯特·格林特和艾玛·沃森等明星与导演克里斯·哥伦布携手，共同为这部深受喜爱的系列电影举行庆祝活动。

The special will recap the creation of the eight-film series through in-depth interviews and conversations with the cast. It marks the first official reunion since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 brought the film series to a close in 2011.

这个特别节目将通过深入访谈和与演员对话，重温八部电影的创作过程。这是该系列电影最后一部《哈利·波特与死亡圣器（下）》2011年上映以来的首次官方重聚。

While Radcliffe, Grint and Watson lead the Return to Hogwarts hype, what sends the reunion over the edge is the return of iconic cast members like Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Imelda Staunton and Tom Felton who made up the thread that held the Harry Potter films together.

除了三名主演，《重返霍格沃茨》邀请不少《哈利·波特》系列电影中的原班人马尽数回归——海伦娜·邦汉·卡特、罗比·科尔特兰、拉尔夫·费恩斯、杰森·艾萨克斯、加里·奥德曼、伊梅尔达·斯汤顿和汤姆·费尔顿等演员，声势浩大，影圈沸扬。

"There’s magic in the air here with this incredible cast, as they all return home to the original sets of Hogwarts, where they began 20 years ago, " executive producer Casey Patterson said in a statement. "The excitement is palpable as they prepare to take their fans on a very special and personal journey, through the making of these incredible films. "

执行制片人凯西·帕特森发表声明称：“豪华演员阵容，让这部特辑溢满魔力，毕竟大家都回到了最初的霍格沃茨——20年前一切开始的地方。演员们的激动之情昭然若揭，大家都希望通过此部特辑，带领影迷们再次踏上一段非同寻常的、身临其境的旅程。”

"Harry Potter was my home, my family, my world and Hermione (still is) my favorite fictional character of all time, " Watson wrote Tuesday on Instagram. "I think a journalist once said it was irritating how many times during an interview I mentioned how lucky I was and started counting… BUT I DAMN WELL KNEW!!! And still know."

11月16日，《哈利·波特》赫敏扮演者艾玛·沃森在Instagram上分享道：“对我而言，《哈利·波特》是归宿，是家，是全世界，赫敏仍是我最喜欢的角色。我还记得有个记者说我在采访中说‘我太幸运了！’的次数多得烦人，甚至还帮我计了数。我当然知道！现在也不后悔！”

"I am proud not just of what we as [a] group contributed as actors to the franchise but also as the children that became young adults that walked that path. I look at my fellow cast members now and I am just so proud of who everyone has become as people. I am proud we were kind to each other that we supported one another and that we held up something meaningful. "

“我无比自豪，因为我不仅仅是参演了《哈利·波特》，更是因为我在孩童时期便加入剧组，在拍摄的过程中长大成人。跟我一起的演员伙伴们，都纷纷长大成才。朋友间彼此友善，相互支持，完成了这意义无穷的一切，我无比自豪。”

"Thank you to the fans that have continued to show their support well after the last chapter closed. The magic of the world wouldn’t exist without you. Thank you for fighting to make it such an inclusive and loving place," Watson added. "I still miss the crew who made these films all the time. Thank you for all of your hard work too — I know your contributions sometimes get overlooked."

她还写道：“感谢影迷们在电影完结后依然支持我们。没有你们，魔法世界就不会存续。谢谢你们的努力，成就了一个包容、充满爱意的世界。我也很想念剧组工作人员，哪怕你们的辛勤付出有时无人问津，我依旧对你们致以谢意！”

Immediately after a goodwill virtual meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Joe Biden, reports emerged that Washington is considering acceding to calls for a diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing in February.

就在中国国家主席习近平同美国总统乔·拜登进行了友好的视频会晤之后，立即有报道称，美国正在考虑正式对明年二月举行的北京冬奥会实施外交抵制。

According to the reports, the White House will soon announce that neither President Biden nor any other US government official will attend the Games, on the pretext of protesting against China's alleged "violation of human rights".

据报道，不久后，白宫将以反对所谓的中国“侵犯人权”为由，宣布不论是总统拜登还是美国政府其他官员都不会参加冬奥会。

This would allow hyping up of claims of "concentration camps" and "genocide" in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, while still allowing US athletes to participate.

Although this may seem like a smart idea. It will just make the US look foolish.

一方面允许对新疆“集中营”和“种族灭绝”进行大肆炒作，一方面仍然准允美国运动员参加冬奥会。这个想法看似聪明，但实际上只会让美国显得很愚蠢。

The message that would be sent by a diplomatic boycott of the games is simply that the US is too big for its breeches.

外交抵制冬奥会只能传达这样的信息：美国太自以为是了。

How much do the US leader and officials in his administration know about Xinjiang firsthand? How much do they know about what has happened and is happening there?

美国领导人及其政府官员拥有多少关于新疆的第一手资料？他们对新疆的过去和现在了解多少？

Do they know about how frequent terrorist attacks were in Xinjiang from 1990 to 2016 and how the normal lives of different ethnic groups were disrupted by thousands of terrorist attacks in different forms? Did they show any concern for the victims of such attacks?

他们知道1990年到2016年间新疆恐袭的频发程度吗？他们知道上千起不同形式的恐袭是怎样扰乱了新疆各族人民正常生活的吗？他们是否关心过这些袭击的受害者？

No, they did not. Because they did not care.

没有，他们没有关心过。因为他们不在乎。

What the Chinese government has done in cracking down on terrorism has put paid to the rampancy of violent terrorist attacks. Xinjiang has been free from such attacks for more than five years. It is indicative of the intentions that the voicing of concerns about Xinjiang are being heard now, because it is enjoying peace and stability.

中国政府在打击恐怖主义方面所采取的措施终结了新疆猖獗的暴力恐怖袭击。五年多来，新疆没有再遭受此类袭击。这表明，当前，关心新疆的声音没有被淹没，因为现在的新疆正在享受和平与稳定。

The US lawmakers calling for a diplomatic boycott are standing on the wrong side of justice.

呼吁实施外交抵制的美国立法者们却站在了正义的对立面。

Instead of going to Xinjiang to see what is happening with their own eyes and talking with local people of different ethnic groups to hear their views, they choose instead to lend an ear to what some secessionists say about Xinjiang.

他们没有亲眼去看看新疆的现状，也没有和当地各族人民交流过，没有倾听过他们的想法，而是选择听取一些分裂分子关于新疆的言论。

Everybody knows what they will say. They will spare no efforts in making up stories to smear the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government. For them, the end justifies the means. They do not care about the well-being of residents of different ethnic groups in Xinjiang, neither do they care about telling the truth about what has happened there.

大家都知道他们要说什么。他们会不遗余力地编造故事，抹黑中国共产党和中国政府。对于他们来说，为达目的可以不择手段。他们不关心新疆各族人民的福祉，也没想过讲出新疆的真实情况。

Yet it is based on their lies that the US politicians are calling for a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

然而，美国政客们就是根据他们的谎言，呼吁对北京冬奥会实施外交抵制。

That smacks of a premeditated design that has nothing to do with human rights.

这有种蓄谋设计的味儿了，而且，和人权毫无关系。

Dong Shuchang from Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region captured the solar eclipse on June 21, 2020, in his photography work The Golden Ring, becoming the winner of the 2021 Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition in mid-September.

9月中旬，来自宁夏回族自治区的董书畅，凭借其2020年6月21日摄制的作品《金环》拿下2021年度天文摄影师大赛总冠军。

                                                  董书畅的获奖作品《金环》

Hosted by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, the competition received 4,500 entries from 75 countries and regions.

该比赛由英国格林威治皇家天文台主办，共收到来自75个国家和地区的4500份参赛作品。

Dong's image also won in the competition's "our sun" category.

作品《金环》同时荣获“太阳组”冠军。

The Golden Ring shows the moon blocking out most of the solar disc and leaving only a thin ring of sunlight shining through.

《金环》中，月轮遮住日面，独剩一环金色的、薄薄的阳光。

Dong started to prepare for the trip to take the shots toward the end of 2019.

2019年底，董书畅就开始为拍摄之旅做准备。

"In fact, I had everything covered in my head," says the 23-year-old, adding that he figured all he had to do was open the camera and press the shutter.

23岁的他说，“我把一切都想好了，觉得只要我打开相机，按下快门就大功告成了。”

However, that didn't go as he expected. The COVID-19 pandemic put a brake on his plans in early 2020. "All of a sudden, everything became uncertain."

不料事与愿违。2020年初新冠疫情暴发，董书畅的计划戛然而止。“突然之间，所有的事情都变得不确定了。”

Thanks to the effective pandemic control in China, Dong moved with his plan in the middle of last year. As he finally hit the road, it was still a rough ride. He and his friends encountered some problems on their way to Ngari prefecture in the Xizang autonomous region to take photos of the solar eclipse.

得益于国内疫情防控得力，2020年年中，董书畅的计划得以如愿施行。他与好友们一同动身，前往西藏自治区阿里地区拍摄日食。虽踏上旅程，但旅途崎岖，一路上董书畅和好友们遇到了大大小小的问题。

When Dong and his friends finally reached their destination, the sky was blocked by thick clouds.

抵达目的地时，厚厚的云层将天空挡得严丝合缝。

"You had to be there to feel the frustration of about 100 photographers who were ready and waiting for the solar eclipse," he says.

他说：“你真的要设身处地，才能感受到当时前来拍摄日食的百来名摄影师，心中的那份失落。”

But magic seemed to happen. The clouds moved away and the sun came out. Dong clicked.

奇迹发生了，一时间乌云散去，太阳渐显。董书畅按下了快门。

Through two different exposures, Dong superimposed two eclipse photos. "It made the image simple yet dynamic."

他以不同的曝光度拍下两张照片，并叠加在一起。“这样一来，图像精简而不失动感。”

Emily Drabek-Maunder, who is an astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, says: "Solar eclipses have been capturing the interest of humans for thousands of years across the world. This image demonstrates both the beauty and simplicity of an eclipse, but also the science behind this astronomical event.

格林威治皇家天文台的天文学家艾米丽·德拉贝克·莫恩德表示：“千百年来，日食总会吸引全人类的目光。这幅作品不仅彰显了日食的美，尽显其简单的本质，也展现出这一天文现象背后的科学道理。”

"Our sun can still be seen as a ring circling the moon as it passes in front of the sun, and mountains on the lunar surface can be seen hiding some of this light on the lower right-hand portion of the image. This is a stunning achievement."

“当月球经过太阳前方时，太阳居然还能以这种金环的形式展现。此外，照片的右下角，透过光环，甚至月球表面的山脉都隐约可见。能捕捉到这一切，非常不可思议。”

"Astronomy photography enables me to record details that are usually missed by the naked eye," Dong says.

“天文摄影让我能记录下被肉眼忽略的细节，”董书畅说道。

He adds that when he uses telephoto lens to take photos, he can see, for example, the details of the Milky Way, as well as its red, green and blue colors that "can be brought into sharp relief through photography".

他举例道，用长焦镜头拍摄时，可以细致入微地观察银河，端详其红、绿、蓝三色间的分明轮廓。

Such photography prompted Dong to acquire knowledge of the field.

董书畅也从天文摄影中学到不少专业知识。

"I got to know how temperature and air composition can result in different star colors, such as blue and yellow that are shown in the images," he says.

他介绍说，“因为天文摄影，我才知道，温度和空气组成的差别会让恒星的颜色也不一样，就像我的照片中星体呈现出的蓝色和黄色。”

"It is also thrilling when you can see something (in photos) in the great distance like the Andromeda Galaxy."

“能从照片中看到仙女座星系这类遥远天体这点也让人非常兴奋。”

He threw his hat in the ring of the 2019 Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition. "It was well-known to people in the circle, so I wanted to put my skills to test through it."

他不惧挑战，报名参与2019年度天文摄影师大赛。“这个比赛很有名，圈内人尽皆知，所以我想参赛来检验自己的摄影功底。”

Dong's self-confidence got a shot in the arm after winning the best newcomer award with his work, Sky and Ground, Stars and Sand.

董书畅凭借他的作品《天地共舞》荣获最佳新人奖，备受鼓舞。

Dong says more than three years of chasing the stars has brought excitement and accomplishment in his life, although the process was often mixed with sweat and tears.

董书畅表示，走在“追星”路上三年多，虽有疲惫和心酸，但却不负旅途中带来的欣喜与成就。

Sichuan province, and Xizang, Ningxia Hui and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous regions are ideal for star observation.

四川、西藏、宁夏和新疆四省是观测恒星的理想地点。

"They have less pollution and moisture, and more clear skies, which don't interfere with the clarity of the atmosphere," Dong says.

董书畅介绍说，“这几个省份污染小，湿度低，天空清朗，大气层也清晰通透。”

In late September, Dong went on a photography trip, sponsored by the Chinese National Geography magazine, to Qomolangma, also known in the West as Mount Everest.

9月下旬，董书畅在《中国国家地理》杂志赞助下，起身前往珠穆朗玛峰，再次开启摄影之旅。

His breath was taken away by the biodiversity, including forest trees, tropical and meadow plants, snowy peaks, glaciers and moraine lakes in a valley 4,000 meters above sea level.

他惊叹于山间的生物多样性——有林间翠木，有热带草甸，有雪峰冰川，甚至有深藏于4000米山谷中的冰碛湖。

董书畅拍摄的星空

The stunning views of the giant mountain peaks turned pink by the sunrise made Dong forget his altitude sickness. "I will surely go back again."

看到骄阳初升，巍峨的峰尖披上了一层娇嫩的金粉色，董书畅早已忘却自己的高原反应。“我还会再来的。”

Speaking about his future plan, Dong says he will explore new photography fields and better ways to integrate science and art.

谈到他的未来打算时，他说，自己还将探索新的摄影领域，尝试用更好的方式将科学与艺术融汇在一起。

China will accelerate reforms to encourage fair competition in the market, spur the vitality of smaller companies and offer private business owners greater tax incentives to give back to society, which is crucial for the country to achieve the goal of common prosperity, experts said.

专家指出，加快改革步伐，促进公平竞争，激发中小企业发展活力，完善企业捐赠的税收优惠政策，对实现共同富裕的奋斗目标至关重要。

Promoting common prosperity, a major component of the Chinese leadership's historic mission of achieving the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, was highlighted in the resolution adopted at the sixth plenary session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The four-day key Party meeting ended on Nov 11. 

中国共产党第十九届中央委员会第六次全体会议通过的决议强调，促进共同富裕是实现中华民族伟大复兴历史使命的重要组成部分。会议为期四天，于11月11日胜利闭幕。

The idea of building common prosperity will be the overarching theme that underlines the next phase of China's development and will be the strategic goal in the country's pursuit of high-quality growth in the new era, said Liu Xueliang, a senior researcher at the Institute of Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. 

中国社会科学院经济研究所副研究员刘学良表示，实现共同富裕，是中国下一发展阶段的长远主题，也是新时代中国追求高质量增长的战略目标。

Measures have been taken to better regulate monopolistic behavior, excessively high incomes and the abuse of market dominance by some companies, which jeopardize fair competition. Policymakers will continue to take measures to foster fair market practices, which is part of the broader objective of building common prosperity, Liu said.

市场监管部门已经采取相应措施，加强反垄断监管，防止资本无序扩张、滥用市场支配地位、损害市场公平竞争的行为。刘学良表示，有关部门将继续采取措施维护公平竞争市场秩序，这也是实现共同富裕的重要一步。

The State Council has appointed Gan Lin as the new head of the country's anti-monopoly bureau under the State Administration for Market Regulation, according to an announcement posted on the website of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on Monday.

11月15日，人力资源和社会保障部网站发布公告称，甘霖任国家反垄断局首任局长。

The appointment is seen as the country's latest move to strengthen anti-monopoly regulation after several internet giants, including Alibaba and Tencent, were fined or investigated over their alleged monopolistic practices.

此次反垄断局的人事任免是中国加强反垄断监管的最新举措。此前，阿里巴巴、腾讯等几家互联网巨头因涉嫌垄断，均被处以罚款，接受反垄断调查。

Fostering fair market competition and ensuring equal market access for all enterprises is an important precondition for China to improve its market-based economy and to fully unleash the country's growth potential, which is in line with the country's overall objective of building common prosperity, said Yu Miaojie, deputy dean of Peking University's National School of Development.

北京大学国家发展研究院副院长余淼杰指出，保障市场公平竞争，确保所有企业平等进入市场，是改善市场经济，释放增长潜能，实现共同富裕的重要前提。

"It will help to ensure that all market entities, especially smaller firms, get equal development opportunities and help spur their vitality, which will contribute to achieving the goal of common prosperity as smaller firms are important job providers and wealth creators," Yu said. 

余淼杰表示，保障市场公平竞争，能确保所有市场主体，特别是小企业都获得平等的发展机会，激发市场活力，从而促进共同富裕，因为小企业是非常重要的岗位提供者和财富创造者。

China's top leadership has vowed to deepen reforms and advance high-quality development to promote common prosperity. Han Wenxiu, an official with the Central Committee for Financial and Economic Affairs, said development is the top priority for China to promote common prosperity and China will foster an environment where people can enjoy equal opportunities, equal rights and fair rules amid the country's development.

党和国家领导人立誓要深化改革，实现高质量发展，推动共同富裕。中央财经委员会办公室分管日常工作的副主任韩文秀表示，推动共同富裕，解决发展问题是第一位的，要保障人民在参与发展中机会公平、规则公平、权利公平。

Han also said that for enterprises, promoting common prosperity means that they "manage their operations well", which includes running their business legally and honestly, paying taxes according to regulations and fulfilling social responsibilities.

韩文秀还指出，推动共同富裕，需要企业“办好自己的事”，做到合法诚信经营，照章纳税，履行社会责任。

Xu Hongcai, deputy director of the China Association of Policy Science's economic policy committee, said that the resolution adopted at the sixth plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee sent out the signal that China will solve development problems and narrow the wealth gap through promoting high-quality development, which requires further reforms to get rid of monopolies and unfair competition that prevents the market from playing a crucial and efficient role in resource allocation.

中国政策科学研究会经济政策委员会副主任徐洪才表示，十九届六中全会通过的决议，传达出以高质量发展来解决发展问题、缩小贫富差距的信号。因而政府要进一步健全公平竞争法律制度体系，不断强化反垄断反不正当竞争监管执法，清除市场在资源配置中发挥关键作用时的阻碍。

Han, from the Central Committee for Financial and Economic Affairs, also said that China encourages entrepreneurs to actively participate in charitable activities, adding that donations are voluntary and must not mean "killing the rich to help the poor".

中央财经委员会办公室的韩文秀还介绍称，国家鼓励支持企业和企业家积极参与公益慈善事业。他也补充称，慈善捐赠是自愿行为，绝不能“杀富济贫”，“杀富致贫”，不能搞“逼捐”。

Some experts said that China needs to further reform its tax policies, such as improving tax incentives for charitable donations and giving private business owners and wealthy individuals greater incentives to donate to charitable causes.

部分专家还指出，国内的税收政策需要进一步改革，如提高慈善捐赠的税收激励，增加与完善企业和个人捐赠的税收优惠政策等。

Racing young gun Zhou Guanyu has made motor racing history after being named China's first Formula One driver.

赛车小将周冠宇被评为中国首位世界一级方程式锦标赛（Formula One，以下简称F1）赛车手，书写了赛车历史。

Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN announced on Tuesday the 22-year-old will join their team for the 2022 season, with the opening race scheduled for the Sakhir circuit in Bahrain on March 20.

阿尔法-罗密欧ORLEN车队周二宣布，这位22岁的车手将加入他们的队伍并参加2022赛季。首场比赛定于3月20日在巴林的萨基尔赛道举行。

Zhou's teammate at Alfa Romeo will be Finnish racing veteran Valtteri Bottas, 32, who currently drives for Mercedes-AMG Petronas alongside seven-time world F1 champion Briton Lewis Hamilton.

在阿尔法-罗密欧车队，周冠宇将搭档32岁的芬兰赛车老将瓦尔特利·博塔斯（Valtteri Bottas）。目前，博塔斯正与七次卫冕F1世界冠军的英国车手刘易斯·汉密尔顿（Lewis Hamilton）一同为梅赛德斯-AMG马石油车队效力。

"Becoming an F1 driver has always been my dream, and I'm really excited to finally fulfill my dream. I want to thank all my fans who have been following my races and supporting me," Zhou told China Daily in an exclusive interview.

“成为一名F1车手一直是我的梦想，我终于实现了我的梦想，我觉得很激动。我想感谢所有一直关注我的比赛并支持我的车迷，”周冠宇在接受《中国日报》专访时说。

"I'm looking forward to the opening race of the next F1 season. Until then, I will continue to comprehensively improve. And I will learn from my teammate, Valtteri Bottas, who is a very experienced driver. I hope you can always support me and follow my first F1 season."

“我非常期待下一个F1赛季的首场比赛。在那之前，我将继续全面提高自己。我会向我的搭档瓦尔特利·博塔斯学习，他是一位经验丰富的车手。我希望大家能一直支持我，并继续关注我的第一个F1赛季。”

Alfa Romeo said they are confident about their team for next season. The sport will undergo major changes next year, with new car design rules introduced, especially in relation to aerodynamics, to encourage closer racing.

阿尔法-罗密欧车队表示，对于下一个赛季，他们对自己的车队信心十足。明年，F1将经历重大变化，引入新的赛车设计规则，特别是在空气动力性能方面从而让比赛变得更加紧凑。

"This combination of youth and experience will be ready to push Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN forward at a time in which the sport embraces a completely new set of regulations and all teams start their quest for glory from scratch," the team's announcement on Tuesday said.

“F1将采用一套全新的规定，所有的车队从零开始探求荣耀。在这样一个时期，将小将和老将的组合到一起将推动阿尔法-罗密欧ORLEN车队继续向前发展，”该车队周二的声明说。

"With a complete race driver lineup for 2022, the team is now ready to embark on this new era with confidence."

“配备了完整的2022赛季赛车手阵容，车队现已做好准备，将满怀信心地踏入这个新时代。”

Frederic Vasseur, Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN's team principal, is also confident Zhou has a promising future in F1, and he hopes Zhou's inclusion will help attract more Chinese fans to follow the team.

车队老板弗雷德里克·瓦瑟（Frederic Vasseur）也充满信心，认为周冠宇在F1将前途光明。他希望周冠宇的加盟将吸引更多中国车迷关注他们的车队。

"It is a pleasure to welcome Zhou Guanyu to Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN. He is a very talented driver, as his results in F2 have shown, and we are looking forward to helping his talent flourish even more in Formula One," Vasseur said.

“我很高兴能欢迎周冠宇加入阿尔法-罗密欧ORLEN车队。正如他在F2赛场中所展现出的那样，他是一个天才车手，我们希望能帮他在F1比赛中更好地施展才能，”瓦瑟说。

"We are proud of our lineup for 2022 and we are confident Zhou will form a very successful partnership with Valtteri. We are also looking forward to welcoming all the new Chinese fans who will join the team," he said.

“我们为2022年的阵容感到自豪，我们相信周冠宇将与瓦尔特利建立非常成功的搭档关系。我们期待着欢迎所有将加入车队的中国新车迷”他说。

"Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN is a historical brand and one that embodies the spirit of Formula One, and we will do our utmost to make the experience of our sport a great one in China."

“阿尔法-罗密欧赛车ORLEN是一个体现了F1精神的历史品牌，我们将全力以赴让F1在中国成为一种精彩的体验。”

With 142 points, Zhou currently sits in second place in the F2 championship driving for the UNI-Virtuosi team. He began his third F2 campaign this year by winning the feature race at Bahrain's Sakhir circuit in March. Two months later, Zhou continued that fine form with a sprint race triumph at the iconic Monaco street circuit.

目前，周冠宇代表UNI-Virtuosi车队以142分的成绩在F2锦标赛中排名第二。他在巴林萨基尔赛道大奖赛赢得冠军，开启了他今年在F2锦标赛的第三次征程。两个月后，在标志性的摩纳哥赛道上，他保持了这种良好的状态，赢得了短程赛的胜利。

Zhou has raced in F2 since 2019, when an encouraging seventh-place finish in his rookie season suggested he was a talent to watch. His reputation continued to grow in 2020 with six podium finishes and a breakthrough pole-to-flag sprint race victory in Russia, en route to a sixth-place finish in the overall standings.

自2019年起，周冠宇便开始参加F2比赛。当时，他在新秀赛季中获得令人鼓舞的第七名。这表明，他是一个值得关注的天才。2020年，他曾六次登上领奖台，并在俄罗斯的短程赛中突破性地杆位起步夺冠。这让他在总积分榜上排名第六，名声持续增长。

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, has called for adopting a rational outlook about the Party's history and drawing on the experience and lessons of the past century to blaze a path toward new victories.

Xi made the remarks when explaining the draft of the resolution on the major achievements and historical experience of the CPC's 100 years of endeavors, which was passed by the sixth plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee held on Nov 8 to 11. Xi's speech about the explanation of the draft document at the meeting and the text of the adopted resolution were released on Tuesday.

Explaining the draft of the resolution to the meeting's participants, Xi called for resolutely opposing "historical nihilism"－which refers to some political thoughts that seek to distort the history of the Chinese revolution, the CPC and the armed forces.

He underlined the need to see history from a broader perspective in order to develop an accurate understanding of the underlying trends and defining features of the CPC's development.

"We need to properly address the mistakes and setbacks that have occurred on the Party's path forward. We should draw experience from our successes and learn lessons from our mistakes so as to score new victories," Xi said.

The landmark resolution highlighted Xi's core position on the CPC Central Committee and in the whole Party as well as the significance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in advancing the cause of the Party and the State.

It reflected on the Party's great achievements in the country's new-democratic revolution, socialist revolution and construction, reform and opening-up as well as the socialist modernization process, and underscored the accomplishments it has made since the country entered a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics following the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012.

The resolution also stressed the historical significance of the Party's endeavors over the past century, saying they have fundamentally transformed the future of the Chinese people, opened up the right path for achieving the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and had a profound influence on the course of world history.

The resolution listed 10 items with respect to the Party's historical experience, including upholding the Party's leadership, putting the people first, staying independent, following the Chinese path, maintaining a global vision, and remaining committed to self-reform.

While noting that the nation is closer, more confident and more capable than ever of realizing the goal of national rejuvenation, the resolution cautioned that there remain many risks and challenges on the journey ahead.

It urged all Party members to have a precise grasp of historical trends, stay true to the Party's founding mission and not be intimidated by any risks or led astray by any distractions.

The review of the major achievements and historical experience of the Party over the past century "will help build a broader consensus and stronger unity in will and action among all members and rally and lead Chinese people of all ethnic groups in achieving new and great success in building socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era", Xi said at the sixth plenary session.

 Tesla chief executive Elon Musk has sold around $5bn of shares in the electric carmaker.

特斯拉总裁埃隆·马斯克已卖出他在特斯拉电动汽车公司价值约50亿美元（约合人民币320亿元）的股票。

It comes days after he asked his 63 million Twitter followers whether he should sell 10% of his stake in Tesla.

数日前他曾向6,300万推特粉丝发问，是否应该卖掉他在特斯拉10%的股票。

The company's shares fell by around 16% in the two days after the poll came out in favor of him selling shares, before regaining some ground on Wednesday.

支持他售出股票的投票结果公布后，特斯拉股价两天内暴跌近16%，直到11月10日股价才有所回升。

Tesla is the world's most valuable carmaker, with a stock market valuation of more than $1tn.

特斯拉是全世界市值最高的汽车制造商，预估市值超1万亿美元。

Mr. Musk's trust sold almost 3.6 million shares in Tesla, worth around $4bn.

马斯克已抛售其信托基金持有的近360万股特斯拉股票，价值约40亿美元。

He also sold another 934,000 shares for about $1.1bn after exercising options to acquire nearly 2.2 million shares, according to filings with the US stock market regulator.

美国证监会的文件显示，马斯克买入近220万股特斯拉期权，随即卖出934,000股，获利约11亿美元。

The documents showed that the sale of about a fifth of the shares was made based on a pre-arranged trading plan set up in September, long before Mr. Musk's social media posts at the weekend about selling some of his shares.

文件显示，马斯克抛售的所有股票中，约五分之一为预定交易。马斯克早在九月份就公布了交易计划，而上周末也在社交媒体发帖称要抛售股票。

Mr. Musk has highlighted that he is not paid in cash by Tesla and only has stock.

马斯克曾强调，他在特斯拉的收入全是股票，没有现金。

Part of the latest transaction saw him exercising stock options that he was awarded as part of his pay package in 2012, which is due to expire in August next year.

从最新的交易记录来看，他行使的期权是即将于明年八月过期的2012年薪酬奖励的一部分。

Mr. Musk has one option to buy 22.86 million Tesla shares at $6.24 each, but if he doesn't exercise the stock option then the shares would become worthless after the expiry date.

马斯克可以行使期权，以每股6.24美元的价格购入2,286万股特斯拉股票；但倘若不行使，该部分股票即将到期，过后便一文不值。

Such transactions trigger income taxes, which are typically settled using money raised from immediately selling some of the newly acquired shares.

这笔交易会产生所得税，税款一般通过立即出售一部分新购股票所得来缴纳。

His move also comes as US Democrats have proposed a so-called "billionaires tax", which could have the richest taxed on "unrealized gains" even if they do not sell any of their stock.

此前，美国民主党提出了所谓的“亿万富翁所得税”，要求对富豪的“未变现盈利所得”征税。哪怕他们没有抛售任何股票，也要征税。

On Saturday, Mr. Musk posted a poll asking his followers to vote on whether he should sell part of his stake in Tesla to meet his tax obligations.

11月6日，马斯克发起投票，让关注者决定是否应该出售自己在特斯拉的部分股票以履行纳税义务。

"Much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance, so I propose selling 10% of my Tesla stock," he tweeted.

他发推称：“最近有很多人认为‘未变现盈利所得’是一种避税手段，于此我提议出售自己在特斯拉的10%的股票。”

"I will abide by the results of this poll, whichever way it goes."

“无论结果如何，我都会按照此次投票结果履行承诺。”

The poll attracted more than 3.5 million votes, with nearly 58% voting in favor of the share sale.

逾350万人参与此次投票，其中近58%的票数支持马斯克抛售股票。

It was Mr. Musk's first sale of shares since 2016, when he last exercised stock options. At the time he also sold some of the shares to cover an income tax bill of close to $600m.

这是马斯克自上一次行使股票期权，也就是2016年以来第一次出售股票。当时，为缴纳近6亿美元的所得税不得已卖掉了一部分股票。

Mr. Musk is the world's richest person, with a fortune estimated to be more than $280bn.

马斯克是全世界最富有的人，资产估值超过了2,800亿美元。

A virtual meeting between the leaders of China and the United States on Tuesday comes as the two nations' ties arrive at a "key crossroads" and is a major event concerning not only bilateral ties but also international relations, the Foreign Ministry said on Monday.

11月15日，外交部发言人赵立坚主持例行记者会。会上，赵立坚表示，“当前中美关系正处于关键十字路口”，此次两国领导人视频会晤“是中美关系的一件大事，也是国际关系的一件大事”。

The people of China and the US, as well as the international community hope the meeting will yield results that benefit both countries and the world, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian.

赵立坚表示：“中美两国人民和国际社会都希望会晤取得对两国和世界都有利的结果。”

President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden will have a candid, in-depth and full exchange of views on strategic issues concerning the future of bilateral relations and other important issues, Zhao said.

赵立坚表示：“根据双方商定，习近平主席将同拜登总统就事关中美关系未来的战略性问题以及双方共同关心、关切的重要问题坦诚、深入、充分交换意见。”

The US should strengthen talks and cooperation with China, manage differences effectively, handle sensitive issues properly, discuss with China the way for the two major countries to get along while respecting each other and bring bilateral relations back to the right track of sound and steady development, Zhao said.

赵立坚表示：“希望美方同中方相向而行，加强对话合作，有效管控分歧，妥处敏感问题，探讨新时期中美作为世界大国相互尊重、和平共处的相处之道，推动中美关系重回健康稳定发展的正确轨道。”

The US has further complicated bilateral ties with recent actions encouraging "Taiwan independence" forces. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke recently of US "interest in peace and stability "across the Taiwan Straits and "commitments" to Taiwan.

最近，美方频频鼓动“台独”势力，致使双边关系复杂化；美国国务卿布林肯也不断提及美国政府“关注台湾海峡的和平与稳定”以及对台湾的“承诺”。

Zhao said that the US statements on the Taiwan question had been distorted and regressed over the past 40 years, "and deviated from the consensus it reached with China when the two countries established diplomatic ties". He added that the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communiques are important political consensus between the two countries and form the political foundation of bilateral ties.

赵立坚表示：“美方40多年来在台湾问题上的表述已经走样、走味、倒退，背离了中美建交时美方与中方达成的共识。美方应该遵守的是一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报，这是中美两国的重要政治共识，也是中美关系的政治基础。”

The so-called "Taiwan Relations Act" and the "Six Assurances" the US made in 1982 were "a pure concoction by some forces in the US "running counter to the three China-US joint communiques, and are "illegal and void", Zhao said.

赵立坚补充称：“所谓‘与台湾关系法’也好，所谓对台‘六项保证’也罢，它们纯粹是美国内一些势力炮制出来的，都与中美三个联合公报背道而驰”，都是“非法、无效的”。

The root of the current tension across the Taiwan Straits lies in the fact that the Democratic Progressive Party-led authorities and separatist forces in Taiwan have been colluding with external forces to seek "Taiwan independence", Zhao added, emphasizing that China's reunification is an unstoppable trend, and that it is the consensus of the international community to stick to the one-China principle.

赵立坚表示：“一段时间以来，民进党当局和‘台独’分裂势力推行‘去中国化’，搞‘一中一台’、‘两个中国’，勾连外部势力大搞谋‘独’挑衅活动，这是台海和平稳定的最大威胁，也是当前台海局势紧张的根源。”他强调：“中国统一是不可阻挡的历史潮流，坚持一中原则是国际社会普遍共识。”

"Any kind of behavior to support and embolden 'Taiwan independence' forces is interference in China's domestic affairs and goes against the peace and stability of the Straits," he said, urging the US to observe the one-China policy and the three China-US joint communiques and deal with the Taiwan question properly.

赵立坚表示：“一切为‘台独’撑腰打气的行径都是对中国内政的干涉，都不利于维护台海和平与稳定。美方应恪守一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，慎重妥善处理台湾问题，以免损害中美关系和台海和平稳定。”

Beijing to embrace green, sustainable Winter Olympics︱绿色冬奥低碳北京

As the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is around the corner, China has reiterated its determination to host a "Green Olympics" and is preparing to deliver on that promise.

2022年的北京冬奥会日益临近，政府重申要举办“绿色冬奥”，兑现庄严承诺。

Reusing venues 旧馆新用

“冰立方”

Beijing will re-use venues from the 2008 Olympics for the 2022 Winter Games. Among these, the National Aquatic Center or "Water Cube" - known as the "Ice Cube" for the upcoming Winter Games - will host curling events, and the National Indoor Stadium will host ice hockey. Opening and closing ceremonies will once again take place at the Beijing National Stadium, or Bird's Nest.

2008年奥运会建造的场馆将重新投入使用。其中，国家游泳中心——“水立方”摇身一变，成为迎接冬奥会的“冰立方”，届时将承接冰壶和轮椅冰壶比赛项目；国家体育馆将承接冰球比赛项目；国家体育场——“鸟巢”则将再次举办开幕式与闭幕式。

Clean energy venues 清洁能源场馆

The 2022 Winter Olympics will be the first Games in history to exclusively power all venues with clean energy from renewable sources. Solar and wind power will be generated in the Zhangbei area of Hebei province.

2022年北京冬奥将成为历史上首届，专门以可再生能源保障所有场馆供电的奥运会。张北柔性直流电网将太阳能和风能发电输送至京。

Zero-Freon ice 零氟利昂制冰

国家速滑馆内景

For the first time in the history of the Olympic Games, Beijing will use carbon dioxide in its ice-making procedures. Removing ozone layer-harming Freon as a refrigerant in ice making during the Games is expected to help reduce carbon emissions equivalent to that of 3,900 cars per year, and cut emissions from the activity to nearly zero.

北京冬奥将成为历史上首届在制冰时使用二氧化碳的冬奥会。若奥运制冰不再使用对臭氧层有害的氟利昂，预计减少相当于每年3,900辆汽车的碳排放量，并将各项目的碳排放量降低至微乎其微。

The new ice-making technology will also significantly save electricity.

新型制冰技术亦将大幅减少电力消耗。

Green transportation 绿色交通

Spectators at the 2022 Winter Olympics will be encouraged to travel by public transport across the three competition zones - downtown Beijing, its suburban Yanqing district and co-host Zhangjiakou in Hebei province - which have been connected by an electric-powered high-speed railway that began operation in late 2019.

2022年冬奥会鼓励所有观众乘公共交通抵达北京赛区、延庆赛区和张家口赛区，三大赛区由2019年底开始运营的京张高铁连接。

All passenger vehicles used for the Games' official transport service will be powered by renewable energy. New energy vehicle charging facilities have been built at the venues and along roads between Beijing and Zhangjiakou.

所有冬奥官方交通服务的乘用车均以可再生能源供能，新能源汽车充电设施已在各场馆和北京通往张家口的公路旁建成。

A green Olympic Village 绿色冬奥村

According to the Beijing Winter Olympics Village's owner, Beijing Investment Group Co, all permanent buildings within the complex have passed the highest three-star certification for green construction with the recycling of materials, energy saving and environmental protection prioritized throughout the whole process of development.

承建北京冬奥村的北投集团表示，冬奥村内的所有永久建筑都通过了最高的三星级绿色建筑标准认证，开发过程中材料回收和节能环保方面均得以优先考量。
