1.EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS MEET TO ASSESS FLOODS

国家防总：全国降雨较前一阶段有所减弱

Multiple departments, including the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, and the Ministry of Emergency Management, met again today to assess the intensity of the floods across Hebei, Tianjin and China's Northeastern provinces, as well as the potential rainfall from Tropical Storm Khanun is projected to cross into in Jilin Province.

国家防汛抗旱总指挥部、应急管理部等多部门今天（08/07）再次召开会议，评估河北、天津和中国东北三省的洪水强度，以及热带风暴“卡努”预计将过境吉林省的潜在降雨量。

This comes as flood peaks are passing Tianjin's Haihe River watershed. Multiple major rivers in the Northeast are still dealing with active floods. Authorities are asking subsidiary【附属的】government bodies to monitor Khanun's path and make preparations ahead of time. As large numbers of people were relocated across multiple regions, local governments have been told to prepare sufficient supplies, including food, water, clothes, medication and other necessities. An additional 350 million yuan has been allocated for disaster relief in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and the Northeast.

当前，全国降雨比前一阶段有所减弱，但海河流域的洪水正在过境天津，东北地区多条河流汛情还在发展。相关部门要求尤其关注台风“卡努”的移动方向，并提前做好准备。另外，此次受灾转移人员较多，当地政府要妥善做好食物、饮用水、衣物、药品等生活必需品的供应，做好生活保障工作。北京、天津、河北和东北地区已增拨3.5亿救灾资金。

2.CHINA'S NORTHEAST HIT WITH SEVERE RAINFALL

强降雨重心移至东北一带

A yellow warning for mountain torrents was issued last night for Northeastern China's Heilongjiang Province as remnants of Typhoon Doksuri poured an excessive amount of rain in the region last week. 12 major rivers in the province are still at dangerous water levels, and 26 reservoirs【水库】have exceeded their flood warning thresholds. Here's Chen Xuan takes a look at how bad things have gotten.

由于台风“杜苏芮”残余上周给中国东北黑龙江省带来了强降雨，该省昨晚（08/06）发布了山洪黄色预警。12条主要河流仍处于危险水位，26座水库已超过洪水预警阈值。主播陈璇带来详细受灾情况。

The city of Wuchang near Harbin is under severe risk of flooding. 43,000 people have been relocated as a precaution.

哈尔滨附近的五常市极有可能发生严重洪灾。为做好预防，4.3万人已被转移。

The city of Shangzhi, near Harbin, recorded its heaviest rainfall in 66 years. 17 villages reported different levels of flooding, but most of the water has since receded. Emergency workers are pumping out the rest and disinfecting the areas that were under water. 83 bridges and roads were damaged in more 200 places.

哈尔滨附近的尚志市记录到66年来的最强降雨。17个村庄出现了不同程度的洪水，但大部分洪水已经退去。抢险人员正在抽干积水，并对积水区域进行消毒。83座桥梁和200多处道路受损。

“采用人歇机不歇24小时全力抢修受损道路，派出10个排查小组对全市受损道路进行调查，排查安全隐患。目前已打通6条道路，其他受损道路正在抢修当中。”

“Our machines are running 24 hours a day. 10 teams are repairing roads across the city. So far, 6 roads have been restored. All others are still being repaired.”

Heilongjiang is China's largest place of origin for crops. Multiple regions have suffered severe damage. The province's agricultural departments are working to find ways to reduce the losses.  

黑龙江是中国最大的农作物产地。多个地区遭受严重损失，该省农业部门正尽最大努力减少损失。

And in Jilin's hardest hit city of Shulan , 14 people died. Emergency teams are still searching for one other missing person. Water levels in its major rivers are now receding. Close to 120 kilometers of damaged roads have been restored, and the power is back on in 14,000 households.

在吉林受灾最严重的舒兰市，已有14人遇难。救援队仍在寻找另一名失联人员。目前，主要河流的水位正在下降。近120公里的受损道路已经恢复，1.4万户家庭恢复供电。

As upstream reservoirs discharge water, downstream villages along Lalin river are starting to relocate people before the swell arrives.

随着上游水库放水，拉林河沿岸的下游村庄开始在洪水到来前搬迁。

At the same time, storm system Khanun, which made a U-turn away from the east China coast last week, is swerving again, this time towards the Korean Peninsula, and Jilin Province. Heavy rainfall is once again on the forecast for Jilin, the weather service estimates the rain will begin falling again in 3 days time.

与此同时，上周从我国东部沿海调头而去的风暴系统“卡努”再次转向朝鲜半岛和吉林省。根据预报，吉林可能再次出现强降雨天气，气象部门预计降雨将于3日后重启。

Heilongjiang officials have asked subsidiary government bodies to carry out relocation protocols and prepare supplies and flood prevention equipment ahead of time.

黑龙江官员已要求下级政府机构执行搬迁计划，并提前准备物资和防汛设备。

In Beijing and Hebei, road and power restoration efforts are still underway in most of the heavy-hit areas. The floodwaters have receded in Zhuozhou, and power has been restored at 75 residential compounds.

在北京和河北，大部分重灾区的道路和电力恢复工作仍在进行。涿州洪水已退，75个居民区恢复供电。

As of yesterday morning, insurance companies have received close to 190,000 claims worth more than 6.2 billion yuan. The claims involve damaged cars, business property and farmland. approximately 260 million yuan has already been paid out.

截至昨天（08/06）上午，保险公司已收到近19万份索赔，金额超62亿元。索赔涉及损坏的汽车、商业财产和农田。目前已赔付约2.6亿元。

The National Administration of Financial Regulation has asked insurance companies to fast-track the flood loss claims.

国家金融监督管理总局已要求保险公司尽快处理洪灾损失索赔。

曹阳 平安产险北京分公司总经理

“减免了气象证明，取消了定点医院和药物用药的限制。对受损严重而且资金比较困难的企业，确定损失部分主动预付了一部分的赔款；对于受损的农户，派理赔人员上门进行查勘定损，提前支付农险的赔款。”

“We've waived the meteorological certificate, which was formerly required for weather loss claims. For injuries, there are no longer any restrictions on which hospitals you can go to, and medications you can be given. For agricultural losses, our staff will make assessments on site and pay for the damage as early as possible.”

3.THE STAR 100 - A NEW MARKET INDEX FOR THE SMALLER STARS OF THE STAR

科创板指数体系再添新成员，上证科创100指数正式上线

The Shanghai Stock Exchange and the China Securities Index Company have just announced the release of their new SSE STAR 100 Index, based on a selection of 100 securities from the STAR Market with medium market capitalization and good liquidity.  Zhang Shixuan tells us more.  

上海证券交易所和中证指数有限公司正式发布上证科创板100指数（以下简称“科创100指数”）。科创100指数从科创板中选取市值中等且流动性较好的100只证券作为指数样本。记者张诗旋带来更多报道。

Different from the STAR 50 index, which reflects the performance of securities with large market capitalizations, the STAR 100 index includes more listed firms from a wider variety of industries.  The median daily market value of the STAR 100 Index samples over the past year was 15.3 billion yuan, and 74 percent of them have a market value of below 20 billion yuan. That's a very big difference from the STAR 50 Index samples which had a median market value of 42.4 billion yuan over the past 12 months. As of noon on its first day, the STAR 100 index had dropped some 1%.

与反映大市值证券表现的科创50指数不同，科创100指数包含更多不同行业的上市公司。 过去一年，科创100指数样本的日市值中位数为153亿元，其中74%的市值低于200亿元。 这与过去一年市值中位数为424亿元的科创50指数样本相比，差距巨大。截至首日中午，科创100指数下跌约1%。

Jimmy Zhu, Chief Strategist

Fullerton Research

Jimmy Zhu 富勒顿研究首席策略师

“On the valuation basis, the STAR 100 index, those stocks are more attractive, because their current profit revenue are still low compared with the STAR 50. But on the potential side, we see that upside is pretty visible, because on the average basis, their profit margins are much higher compared with average on the STAR board.”

“在估值基础上，科创100指数中的股票更具吸引力，因为它们目前的利润收入与科创50指数相比仍然较低。但在潜力方面，我们看到了相当明显的上升空间，因为从平均水平来看，它们的利润率要比科创板的平均水平高很多。”

More than half of the constituents【成分】 of the STAR 100 Index are from industries like bio-medicine, high-end equipment, and new materials. Both their R&D intensity and revenue growth rate were higher than the STAR Market's average.

在科创100指数的成分股中，有一半以上来自生物医药、高端设备和新材料等行业。它们的研发强度和收入增长率都高于科创市场的平均水平。

Jimmy Zhu, Chief Strategist

Fullerton Research

Jimmy Zhu 富勒顿研究首席策略师

“For investors who are looking out of the semiconductor industry, which is heavily weighted in STAR 50, the STAR 100 gives more asset to choose. And they don't have much correlation. Sometimes, fund managers don't want to put money in one basket. This provides opportunity for them to diversify their portfolio. And on the macro basis, the officials are trying to provide more funding platform for the private sectors, so this is another area for companies in the private sector can raise their fund from.”

“对于那些关注半导体行业（较大程度依赖科创50指数）的投资者来说，科创100指数提供了更多的资产选择。它们没有太多的相关性。有时，基金经理不想把钱放在一个篮子里。这为他们提供了分散投资的机会。从宏观上讲，政府正试图为私营部门提供更多的融资平台，因此这也是私营部门公司可以融资的一个新领域。”

As of last Friday, there were 550 listed companies on the STAR Market, with a total market value of almost 6.5 trillion yuan. Experts say that with more tech firms joining the board, the launch of additional indexes is critically important.

截至上周五（08/04），科创市场共有550家上市公司，总市值近6.5万亿元。专家表示，随着越来越多的科技企业加入科创板，增发指数的推出至关重要。

Shao Yu, Chief Economist

Orient Securities

邵宇 东方证券首席经济学家

“全球包括美国这样一科技股，它那些龙头的股票也就是编制进入指数里的股票，表现得非常强劲。被动的投资，特别是指数型投资现在构成了整个投资的绝大部分，这样对投资人来说就比较简单，指数包括指数类的ETF发行，它的量非常大，最终也活跃了整个市场。”

“In the global markets, considering something like US tech stocks, the leading stocks that are index constituents have been performing really strongly. Passive investment, especially index investment has made up the majority of the investments.  It's become easy for investors to just buy an index related product. The launch of products related to indexes such as ETFs is usually large in volume, which winds up raising the value of the entire market.”

As of today more than ten STAR Market indices have been released, and products tracking these indices in domestic and overseas markets have reached a value of over 120 billion yuan. The STAR 50 Index alone has attracted over 76 billion yuan of incremental【增量的】funds into the STAR Market since 2022, ranking it first among domestic broad-based indices.

截至目前，已经发布了十多个科创市场指数，国内外市场跟踪这些指数的产品价值超1200亿元。自2022年以来，仅科创50指数就为科创市场吸引了超760亿元人民币的增量资金，在国内基础指数中排名第一。

2.CHINA'S MARKET CONTINUES TO DRAW IN HIGH-TECH FOREIGN INVESTMENT

中国吸引外资磁力不减

The China Council for the Promotion of International Trade last week reported nearly 70 percent of surveyed foreign-funded companies here are optimistic about the outlook for the Chinese market over the next five years. The primary reasons they cited for investing in China include "large market size", "multiple preferential【优惠的】 policies" and "complete industrial and supply chains". Our reporter Zhang Shixuan talked to one of the firms to see just what they think.

中国国际贸易促进委员会上周报告称，近70%的受访外资企业对未来五年的中国市场前景持乐观态度。这些外资企业在中国投资的主要原因包括“市场规模大”“优惠政策多”以及“产业链和供应链完整”。记者张诗旋采访了其中一家企业，进行深入了解。

With a total floor space of more than 3,400 square meters, this is the first digitalized comprehensive innovation center that Becton and Dickinson Company has built in China.  The US based medical technology giant opened the innovation center in Hangzhou half a month ago. It's equipped with a professional digital marketing platform, laboratories, and a customer experience center, as well as training and incubation spaces - a testimony【证明】 of the company's confidence in the China market.

这座BD公司在中国建立的首个数字化综合创新中心总建筑面积超过3400平方米。 这家美国医疗设备生产和销售巨头半个月前在杭州开设创新中心，配备了专业的数字营销平台、实验室、客户体验中心以及培训和孵化空间——这充分体现了该公司对中国市场的信心。

I've certainly seen an explosion of new innovative companies here in China.That’s very evident.And our dialogues with those companies has gone up over the last several years as we've built those capabilities, soyes,I do expect those will continue and we've had some partnerships that will probably be announced in the future.”

“All the global CEOs want to go to China. They've planned for it for quite a long time. So, they first come to understand the current situation, how the China economic recovery, and they think the China market is still a very active economy power, so they want to use China as their future development angles. Compared to other regions, China has the most advanced manufacturing power compared to the rest of the world, and this is not an market for consuming, but also for manufacturing. China owned the entire value chain. This is very unique.”

“全球所有的首席执行官都想去中国，他们已经计划了很长时间。所以他们首先来了解中国经济复苏的现状，他们认为中国市场仍然拥有非常活跃的经济力量，想把中国作为未来发展的方向。与其他地区相比，中国拥有全球最先进的制造能力，这不仅是一个消费市场，也是一个制造市场。中国拥有整个价值链，这是非常独特的。”

The Ministry of Commerce says its data shows foreign direct investment in China's high-tech industry grew almost 8 percent year-on-year in the first half of 2023, while that of high-tech manufacturing soared 28.8 percent year-on-year in the same period.  At the same time, China saw newly established foreign-invested enterprises here reach 24,000, a year-on-year increase of almost 36 percent.

商务部数据显示，2023年上半年，中国高科技产业的外商直接投资同比增长近8%，而同期高科技制造业的外商直接投资同比飙升28.8%。与此同时，中国新设立的外商投资企业达2.4万家，同比增长近36%。

3.CHINA TO CUT SECURITIES SETTLEMENT RESERVES BY 3 PERCENTAGE POINTS

证券业迎“降准”3个点

China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation announced yesterday that it will lower the minimum settlement reserve ratio for the securities sector, a move which is expected to release over 30 billion yuan worth of funds back to the brokers. Lei Shuran has the details.

中国证券登记结算公司昨日（08/03）宣布，将下调证券行业最低结算备付金率，此举预计将释放超300亿元的资金返还券商。记者雷舒然带来详细报道。

The state-owned company said in its announcement that starting from October the settlement reserve ratio for the securities sector will be cut to 13 percent from the current 16 percent.

该国有公司在声明中表示，从10月开始，证券行业的结算备付金率将从目前的16%下调至13%。

Chen Li, Chief Economist

Chuancai Securities

陈雳川 财证券首席经济学家

“调降结算备付金比例可以释放，一部分券商、银行等结算参与人的流动性，相当于给股票市场实施了一次‘定向降准’，将进一步提高市场资金使用效率，降低市场成本。不少会员证券公司会在资金使用效率方面大幅提升，也会对整个资金的管理水平进一步细化和优化，最终流入市场，起到活跃资本市场的重要目的。”

“Reducing the proportion of settlement reserves can raise the liquidity of some of the brokerage firms, banks and other settlement participants, which is equivalent to a 'reserve ratio cut targeted at the stock market', and which will further improve the efficiency of the use of market funds and reduce market costs. This initiative will enable member securities companies to significantly improve the efficiency of their use of funds, and also further refine and optimize the management of funds. These funds will ultimately flow into the market, and play a role of activating capital markets.”

Securities settlement reserves are funds placed by brokers in their company accounts to settle securities and non-trading transactions, and they play an important role in guaranteeing the completion of settlements and preventing risks. The CSDC slashed the ratio in 2019 and last year by 2 points each time to cumulatively lower the figure to 16 percent from the original 20 percent. The first adjustment released 11 billion yuan in funds, while the second returned 20 billion to the brokers.  

证券结算备付金是券商存放在公司账户中用于证券交易和非交易结算的资金，在保证结算完成和防范风险方面发挥着重要作用。中国结算在2019年和2022年分别将这一比例下调2个百分点，累计从原来的20%降至16%。第一次调整释放资金110亿元，第二次返还给券商资金200亿元。

As rescue efforts continue in Hebei Province, China’s Ministry of Emergency Management has upgraded the national disaster response to level three. The National Development and Reform Commission has earmarked【划拨（款项）】100 million yuan for reconstruction costs. Here’s Chen Xuan with a look at all the latest.

河北省抢险救援工作持续，国家应急管理部已将全国防汛应急响应提升至三级。国家发展和改革委员会已拨款1亿元人民币用于灾后重建。陈璇带来最新情况。

Onehourafter nearly 6 days of torrential【（水）奔流的】rainfall in Hebei, the amount of accumulated water is more than twice the amount contained in all of the province’s major reservoirs【水库】.

河北省持续近6天的暴雨后，仅一小时，积水量就已经超过全省各大水库容量的两倍。

Rescue and relocation work continues today in the city of Zhuozhou 80 kilometers southwest of Beijing. Multiple rivers run through the city, which is also one of Hebei’s 7 flood discharge areas, the additional nearly 400 millimeters of rainfall resulted in an extraordinary level of flooding.

今天（08/03），在位于北京西南80公里处的涿州市，救援和转移工作仍在继续。涿州市有多条河流流经，也是河北省7处蓄滞洪区之一，近400毫米的超常降雨导致了这场特大洪水。

Across Hebei, more than 1.2 million people have been relocated, with close to 860,000 of them moved from flood discharge zones. Official say that, though rain has stopped, the city will still have to manage the massive amount of upstream flood waters in the coming weeks.

整个河北省已经有超过120万人被紧急转移，其中近86万人来自蓄滞洪区。官方表示，虽然降雨基本结束，但在未来几周内，该市仍需应对来自上游的洪水过境。

Li Na, Deputy DirectorofHebei Dept. of Water Resources

李娜河北省水利厅副厅长

“对涿州来说，还有3亿到4亿立方米的水要过境。如果没有这两个蓄滞洪区，那么下游雄安新区和天津的防洪压力将是非常大的”

“There’re still between 300 and 400 million cubic meters of water that’ll pass through the city. If we don’t discharge this floodwater, both Xiong’an New Area and the city of Tianjin will be under significant pressure.”  

More than 100,000 rescue workers in over 4,700 teams have been activated in Hebei. The area around Yongji永济Park was heavily flooded, andthe entrance to a school was completely submerged, and the entire area is still without water, power or gas.

河北已有超过100,000名救援人员组成4,700多个救援队伍投入抗洪救援工作。永济公园周围地区受灾严重，一所学校的入口完全被淹没，整个地区仍处于断水、断电、断气状态。

冯庆东河北省张家口市红十字应急救援队副队长

“里边的暗流比较多，对于冲锋舟的操作困难性很大，潜在的危险比较多一点。现在水位陆续都在往下降，从昨天到现在，从岸边往后都退了150米左右，接下来就是把灾区里面没有转移的继续都转移完毕。”

“There’re strong undercurrents in some of the flooded areas, and it’d be dangerous for us to approach. Between yesterday and today, the water has receded about 150 meters from both shores. We’re working to get the rest of the people out.”

A school has been turned into the city’s largest temporary shelter, it’s also serving as a headquarters of the rescue teams and a temporary clinic. Thousands of people are now taking shelter there.

一所学校被改建为该市最大的临时避难所，同时也是救援队伍的总部和临时诊所。目前有数千人在此避难。

Back in Beijing, the rain has stopped, and flood alerts have been canceled in the downtown districts. 6 suburban districts have downgraded their alert level to yellow. Now people in the hard-hit villages are being relocated to temporary shelters.

北京地区降雨已结束，中心城区的洪水预警已解除。6个周边区域已降级至橙色预警。目前，受灾最严重的村庄的居民正在被转移到临时避难所。

A rental apartment building was turned into a shelter. However, water started to come in and power was cut shortly after. As of last night, more than 4,300 people there have been transferred to other locations.

一幢出租公寓楼被改造成了避难所。然而不久，洪水涌入切断了电力。截至昨晚，已有超过4,300人被转移到其他地点。

Also, early this morning, all passengers on board the 3 stranded trains were transported to safety. People in nearby villages have been providing food to the stranded passengers.

此外，今日（08/03）清晨，3辆因暴雨被困列车上的乘客都已被送往安全地带。附近村庄的居民为受困乘客提供了食物。

“其实很多居民家里已经没有粮食了，水都没有，但是大家给我们去摘黄瓜，去摘茄子这些拿咸菜。”

“Some of the locals gave out all their food, and they went into their own vegetable patches and harvested some cucumbers and eggplants.”

The storm system has moved north, and is now causing heavy downpours【倾盆大雨】 in Northeastern China. A basic flood emergency response has been activated.

目前暴雨带已北移，导致东北地区出现强降雨。当地已启动了基本的防洪应急响应。

Meteorologists say the amount of rain in the past few days has exceeded three of the most extreme storms ever recorded in northern China.

气象专家表示，过去几天的降雨量已经超过了中国北方有记录以来三次最强暴雨。

Zhang Hengde, Deputy Director of National Meteorological Center

上海警方今天（08/03）表示，上海已连续8年实现命案全破、连续五年抢案全破。记者张泓向我们介绍最近侦破的两起案件详情。

A suspect surnamed Yu was arrested on June 13th after being on the run for 21 years. In February 2002, Mr. Yang was killed in his taxi. Police speculated that there were two murderers, but they were not able to find the suspects due to technology restrictions. In May, police learned 50-year-old Mr. Yu was in Jiangmen, Guangdong. He was arrested and charged with killing the cab driver.

今年6月13日，潜逃21年之久的嫌疑人余某被捕。2002年2月，杨某在出租车内遇害。警方推测有两名凶手，但受限于当时技术条件，警方未能找到嫌疑人。今年5月，警方得知嫌疑人50岁男子余某位于广东江门，随后成功将其抓获并以谋杀出租车司机对余某提起诉讼。

“该名男子与我们当时的案件当中走访（掌握）的人员同名同姓，我们将其列为重要犯罪嫌疑人。经生物痕迹比对，该犯罪嫌疑人就是我们（案件）的犯罪嫌疑人。”

“The man has the same name as our suspected murderer when we were investigating the case back then. He is listed as a major suspect. Through a comparison of bio-markers, we confirmed he is the man we’ve been looking for.”

After being arrested, Yu confessed that he killed the taxi driver and robbed him with Mr. Ling. They are both from Pingjiang in Hunan Province. On June 20th, Ling was arrested in Changsha, Hunan.

于某被捕后供认了与凌某共同实施杀人劫财的犯罪事实。他们都是湖南平江人。今年6月20日，凌某在湖南长沙被捕。

“以‘常态推进+专案攻坚’模式，全面梳理案卷线索，寻找突破口，先后成功侦破命案积案14起。其中侦破20年以上命案积案11起，30年以上1起。”

“While solving new cases, we’ve also been taking a fresh look at old cases and looking for new breakthroughs. We solved 14 long-pending murder cases. 11 of them occurred over 20 years ago and 1 case couldn’t be solved for more than 30 years.”

In late April, Shanghai police received a call from a company’s accountants saying that they had been defrauded【欺骗】 of several million yuan by someone pretending to be their boss. Police found that they had opened an email with a virus, which allowed a hacker to control their computers.

今年4月下旬，上海警方接到一家公司会计的电话，称有人冒充其公司老板诈骗了数百万元。警方发现他们打开了一封带有病毒的电子邮件，黑客由此控制了他们的电脑。

“（黑客）是把被害人登在她办公电脑上的微信，包括截取了她老板或财务总监的头像，获取这个头像以后，他用自己的微信替换成老板的微信，然后再实施诈骗。”

“The hacker took screenshots of the profile photos of their boss’ and chief financial officer’s WeChat accounts and forged【伪造】a WeChat account to pretend to be their boss.”

Police analyzed the virus and arrested Mr. Zhang on May 10th. Another 29 fraud suspects were arrested in multiple cities nationwide after police looked into his list of contacts.

警方对病毒进行了分析，并于5月10日逮捕了男子张某。警方调查了他的联系人名单后，又在全国多个城市逮捕了其它29名诈骗嫌疑人。

3.THAILAND’S PHEU THAI PARTY BREAKSAWAY FROM MOVE FORWARD

胜选却难上台泰国远进党被排除出组阁联盟

The political party that won the most seats in Thailand’s general election in May is out of the coalition to form the next government. The announcement comes amid strong opposition from conservative lawmakers over its proposed reform of laws surrounding Thailand’s monarchy. Sun Siqi has more.

在五月份的泰国大选中获得最多席位的远进党被排除出下届政府组阁联盟。此举是因为该政党提议对涉及泰国王室的法律进行改革，遭到了保守派议员的强烈反对。本台记者孙思奇带来报道。

Thailand’s election-winning Move Forward Party is no longer part of an eight-party alliance that was formed after a May general election in an attempt to form the country’s next government.

在泰国大选中胜出的远进党已被排除出五月全国大选后组成的八党联盟，该联盟旨在组建下一届政府。

Move Forward emerged as the largest party in the May polls, followed by Pheu Thai. Pheu Thai Party leader, Chonlanan Srikaew, told a news conference in Bangkok his party had little choice but to break with its ally in the face of insurmountable conservative opposition to it.

在五月的选举中，前进党成为最大的政党，其次是为泰党。为泰党领袖冲拉南·西胶在曼谷的新闻发布会上表示，在面对不可逾越的保守派反对时，他的党派别无选择，只能与盟友决裂。

Chonlanan Srikaew, Pheu Thai Party Leader

冲拉南·西胶 为泰党党首

“The Pheu Thai Party and Srettha Thavisin would like to clearly reiterate that we will not support the amendment of Article 112, the royal insult law, and the formation of a new government will not include Move Forward Party in the alliance.”

“为泰党和赛塔希望明确重申，我们不会支持修改第112条（‘亵渎君主罪’），组建新政府也不会将远进党纳入联盟。”

The Pheu Thai Party said it would nominate a real estate tycoon for prime minister. This has upset some protesters who gathered in front of party headquarters on Wednesday, saying that they were disappointed by the decision.

为泰党表示将提名一位房地产大亨作为总理候选人。一些对此不满的抗议者在本周三聚集在为泰党总部前，表达了对这一决定的失望。

Jiraporn Butsapakit, Protester

抗议者

“I’m boiling. I never imagined they would break their promises.”

“我很愤怒，我从没想过他们（为泰党）会违背承诺。”

Also, a parliamentary vote to select Thailand’s new prime minister on Friday was delayed again, after a court put off a decision in a case involving the progressive party that won May’s election, adding to growing uncertainty about when a new government will take office.

此外，周五选举泰国新总理的议会投票再次被推迟，因为法院推迟了对一宗涉及赢得五月大选的进步党的案件的裁决，这增加了新政府何时就职的不确定性。

1. RESCUE TEAMS RUSH TO FLOODED CITY OF ZHUOZHOU

多地救援队伍驰援涿州

9 people died and 6 are missing in Hebei Province after the area’s worst storm in a decade. Rescue forces from around the country are rushing to Zhuozhou to help the city deal with serious flooding. Sun Siqi takes a look.

河北省遭受十年来最强暴雨袭击，造成9人死亡，6人失踪。全国各地的救援人员陆续紧急驰援涿州，帮助该市应对洪灾。本台记者孙思奇带来详细报道。

Hebei officials ordered floodwater to be discharged in 7 regulatory floodways, which are swathesof land where excess【过量的】 water is discharged during emergencies. More than 840,000 people had been evacuated in the province. Zhuozhou was hit particularly hard as three sides of the city are surrounded by these regulatory floodways. So far, 8.4 square kilometers of farmland has been damaged and the Hebei Department of Finance has issued 188 million yuan in disaster relief.

河北省陆续启用了7处蓄滞洪区——在紧急情况下临时蓄滞洪水的低洼地。全省已转移群众84万多人。涿州因其三面被蓄滞洪区包围，因此受灾尤为严重。截至目前，已有8.4平方公里的农田被毁，河北省财政厅已紧急拨付 1.88亿元防汛救灾资金。

Rainy weather continued today in Zhuozhou as rescue teams arrived from across the country to help 28 local rescue teams with more than 8,700 personnel are helping stranded【陷于困境的】people city-wide. 

今日（08/02），涿州地区降雨持续，全国各地救援队陆续前来驰援，28支本地救援队带领8700多名救援人员，正在全力援助受困群众。

This residential compound was one of the worst-hit as the buildings were cut off by dangerously high-water levels. A rescue team used helicopters to bring 33 people, including infants, to safety as of this afternoon.

这个居民区是受灾最严重的地区之一，居民楼被高危水位所围困。今天下午，一支救援队用直升机将包括婴儿在内的33人转移到安全地带。

Rescue workers have also sent supplies to stranded people in the Zhuozhou High-Tech Industrial Development Zone. Soldiers were ordered to lay sandbags in high-risk areas of a river dam.

救援人员还向涿州高新技术产业开发区的受困群众运送了救援物资。官兵们受命在河坝高危区域铺设沙袋。

A civil rescue team from Shanghai has transferred 51 people to safety, close to 30 of them were children. The team is responsible for 6 villages.

一支来自上海的民间救援队已将51人转移到安全地带，其中近30人为儿童。该救援队负责6个村庄的救援工作。

洪运寅上海子鹊应急救援队涿州救援任务前线联络官

“受灾情况是比较严重的，现在我处的位置是当地街道的一条主干道，它的积水大概已经过膝盖了，在这个区域里面这个是地势比较高的地方。目前来说我们救出来的人员是在同一个地方的，这个地方是当地的木材厂。因为已经淹到顶部了，木材厂那个地方的水深大概有十几米。

“The flooding is serious. The people we rescued were all from a lumber mill. We had to bring them out first because the water had reached the roof. It was probably more than 10 meters deep.”

The team was being led by local guides. They bring stranded people out to relatively safer areas, where other teams take over to ensure their well-being.

该救援队由当地向导带领，将被困民众转移到相对安全的地区，后由其他救援队伍接管确保群众安全。

“I think there is a very important story to be told about Jewish and Chinese people. Unlike the rest of the world, China is always very welcoming to Jewish people, not only refugees. Even before the World War II, China hadn’t any discrimination on Jewish people.”

“我认为犹太人和中国人之间有一个非常重要的故事。与世界其他国家不同，中国一直非常欢迎犹太人，不仅仅是对难民。即使在二战之前，中国也没有对犹太人有任何歧视。”

At an opening ceremony of the exhibition, a certificate of honor was issued on behalf of New York City to Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum. The official thanked the city of Shanghai for accepting Jewish refugees during the war, as well as the museum’s contribution to China-US cultural exchanges.

“在拜登和他儿子受到不可思议的指控后，紧接着就出现了（针对特朗普的指控）。事实上特朗普在民调支持率中保持领先，我们现在要做的就是反驳国会骚乱调查报告中的指控，这个报告充满政治操弄。”

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said yesterday, that prosecutors followed the facts and the law. The indictment, the third criminal case brought against the former president as he seeks to reclaim the White House in 2024, follows a long-running federal investigation into alleged schemes by Trump and his allies to subvert the peaceful transfer of power and keep him in office despite a decisive loss to Joe Biden.

美国司法部长梅里克·加兰德昨天表示，检察官们是根据事实和法律进行调查的。本次指控是对试图在2024年重新夺回白宫的前总统提起的第三项刑事案件，此前，相关部门曾长期调查特朗普及其盟友涉嫌图谋破坏权力和平交接、以及在大选失利后仍妄图留任的相关情况。

北京强降雨已致11人遇难13人失联

Eleven people died and another 13 are missing in Beijing while in Hebei province, nice people were reported dead and six missing after the extreme downpour brought by the remnants of typhoon Doksuri triggered mountain torrents and flash floods. President Xi Jinping today ordered a search and rescue for the missing and those trapped in flooded areas. And here’s Chen Xuan with a look at just how bad things got in the region.

台风“杜苏芮”残余环流带来的极端强降雨引发山洪，已致北京11人遇难13人失联，河北9人遇难6人失踪。习近平总书记对防汛救灾工作作出重要指示，要求各地要全力搜救失联、被困人员。记者陈璇为我们带来受灾情况详细报道。

The extreme precipitation began Saturday night and has lasted more than 70 hours in Beijing, with an average of morethan260 millimeters of rain across all districts. 44,000people are dealing withflood damage to their homes, and nearly 130,000 people were relocated【迁移】.

这场极端降水从周六（07/29）晚上开始，在北京已经持续70多个小时，各区平均降雨量超过260毫米。4.4万户家庭遭受洪灾损失，近13万人被紧急迁移。

The torrential rain warning in Beijing has been downgraded to yellow, though in Mentougou the  warning is still orange.

北京市暴雨预警已降级为黄色，但门头沟区的暴雨预警仍为橙色。

More weather warnings were issued on strong winds, thunderstorms, and hail in parts of Beijing and Hebei, along with a torrential【猛烈的】 rain alert across Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei.

北京和河北部分地区还发布了强风、雷暴和冰雹天气预警，同时北京、天津、河北地区发布了暴雨警报。

The suburban district of Mentougou  in western Beijing was hit hardest, with an average of more than 471 millimeters of rain, with some parts reaching a record 723 millimeters, exceeding all previous records for rainfall in Beijing, since the flood of July, 2012.

北京西部郊区门头沟受灾最为严重，平均降雨量超过471毫米，部分地区达到创纪录的723毫米，超过了自2012年7月洪灾以来北京的所有降雨记录。

Though the flood waters have receded, underground garages are still soaked in water. Most of the district is without tap water. Parts of the district is without power, and communications are still out in 5 towns.

虽然洪水已经退去，但地下车库仍浸泡在水中。大部分地区没有自来水，部分地区停电，5个镇的通讯仍然中断。

This morning, 4 helicopters set out to airdrop food and supplies to stranded people.

今天（08/01）上午，4架直升机出发向被困民众空投食物和物资。

The situation was similar in the southwestern district of Fangshan. Flood waters were up to 1.5 meters deep in 3 low-lying residential compounds. 60,000 households are still withoutwater andpower.

西南部的房山区情况类似。3个低洼居民区的洪水深度达1.5米。6万户家庭仍没有水电供应。

“汛情发生之后，从良乡到河北镇的三条道路全部遭到破坏了，公路路基桥梁基本上都冲毁了，现在河北镇基本上跟外边是一个隔绝的状态，主要目的就是抢通良乡到河北镇的一条生命线。”

“All of the 3 roads to Hebei Town were heavily damaged, including the roads' foundation and the bridges. So now the town is cut off. We're trying to fix one of the roads as fast as we can, so essential supplies can be sent in.”

Supplies will continue to be flown in by air until the road is restored.

道路恢复之前，将继续空运物资。

At the same time, 3 trains were stranded in Mentougou. 1,800 passengers on board the K396 and Z180 trains have since been transferred to safety. Supplies are being sent to the passengers of the K1178 train.

与此同时，3列列车滞留在门头沟。K396和Z180次列车上的1800名乘客已被转移到安全地带，K1178次列车上的乘客已获物资补给。

Meteorologists【气象专家】 say the powerful low pressure system that was Doksuri, dropped an extraordinary amount of rain because the easterly winds under the Western Pacific High have been pumping massive amounts of water vapor to central China. The storm was consistently replenished along its path north, which condensed into severe rainfall as the system crossed the Taihang Mountain range.

气象专家称，由于西太平洋高气压下的偏东风向中国中部地区输送了大量水汽，因此“杜苏芮”这个强低压系统带来了异常降雨。风暴在北上途中不断补充水汽，并在穿越太行山脉时凝结成强降雨。

3.FEEL LIKE AN EXPLORING ADVENTURE? MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY A CITYWALK!

城市漫步，在漫游中重见城市

Gather a couple of good friends and take a leisurely stroll through the streets - this is what many people are enjoying these days. It can be a guidedtourfor a small group or just acasual walkfor two or three. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan took a tour of Shanghai to see what's behind the Citywalks, and what they are bringing to the urban economic recovery.

约上几个好友，悠闲地漫步街头——这是如今许多人喜欢的事情。它可以是由导游带领的小团体旅行，也可以是两三个人的悠闲散步。记者张诗旋深入上海，探访“城市漫步”背后的故事，以及它们为城市经济复苏带来的影响。

Roaming around a city on foot,exploring the hidden secrets that even a resident of the city might not have noticed before. It's called Citywalk.

在城市散步，深入市井巷陌，探寻一些可能市民都不曾注意到的角落，这被称作“城市漫步”。

Citywalk is not a new term, having originated in London years ago, but the trend has recently caught on in China. One can get easy access to a recommended walking routine on social media apps - Xiaohongshu alone has more than 500,000 notes related to Citywalk.

城市漫步不是一个新的概念，它源于伦敦，但这个旅游方式近期在中国风靡起来。人们可以在社交媒体上轻松找到推荐的漫步路线。单单在小红书就已经有超过50万关于城市漫步的笔记。

“因为没有事情干，周末想出来放松，舒服也不累。买了衣服，性价比高。”

“We had nothing to do during the weekend, so we decided to come out and relax. I just bought clothes and it was very reasonable.”

Shanghai Resident

“每周都有这个习惯，之前在国外留学，我感觉（上海）会更繁华一些，这些小的店铺会多一些。”

“I've been taking the walk every week. I just finished my study abroad and came back. Shanghai's downtown streets are more bustling, with more small shops.”

“I just like Shanghai's culture, so I came. We don't have a fixed routine, we just wanted a casual tour. We came last night and we will leave tomorrow. ”

Zhang Shixuan, Reporter

张诗旋 记者

The downtown streets of Shanghai, lined with lush trees and buildings with retro styles that tell of the city's history, have long been an attraction for visitors. But now, street wandering has a proper name - Citywalk. There have been some changes.

上海市中心的街头，梧桐绿荫和传统建筑诉说着这个城市的历史。这些事物一直以来都对游客有着巨大吸引力，而如今逛街拥有了一个专属的名号——城市漫步。一些随之而来的变化正在悄然发生。

While the old architecture has been here for a century, much of it now contains flourishing new businesses, appealing to the increasing number of people who have been coming out and spending more time along the streets.

这些传统建筑，已经在街边矗立了一个世纪，但这些建筑里现在有很多新的商业体，吸引着越来越多外出并在街边停留更长时间的人们。

Within just a few steps, you can run into a new shop - fashion stores, exhibition halls, restaurants or cafes,often with long lines in front.  

每走几步，你就能发现一家新的店——时尚买手店、展厅、餐厅或咖啡店，而且店门前经常排着长队。

You can tell from the bricks here that this is a really old building - more than 70 years old. But walking inside, you are surrounded with the most modern style - clothes from niche designer brands, stylish accessories,and aromatherapy supplies. 

我们可以从这些砖头看出，这是一幢很老的建筑，已经70多年了。但是走到建筑内部，你会被最摩登现代的风格环绕——设计师品牌的服装，有设计感的首饰和香薰用品。

This fashion store opened 3 years ago, together with a beverage【饮料】 shop next door.

这家时尚买手店3年前和隔壁的饮品店一起开业。

When I stopped by, both were full of visitors, some turning out to be shoppers at both. The owner says the two usually get 2,500 visitors on an average day, bringing in a combined annual revenue of 40 million yuan at peak times.

我经过的时候看到两家店都是满客状态，一些客人在两家店都有消费。创始人说这两家店平均一天能够接待2500名顾客，在高峰期年营收能达到4000万元。

“我们现在大店有两家已经开业，马上在本月月底，在淮海路上还有一家要开，有一个1000平米的大店，都是在Citywalk的路线上面。今年4月份开始，旅游恢复，还有很多外籍人士也过来消费，客单价也有提高。今年快闪比较多，会集中在奢侈品。”

“We have opened 2 large stores. And at the end of this month, we will open another 1,000-square-meter store on Huaihai Road. All of them are alongCitywalk routes. Since this April, with the recovery of tourism, more foreigners have come. The per customer transaction has also increased. This year, many luxury brands have reached out to us to open popup stores at our place.”

Generally avoiding famous scenic spots and shopping centers, an aimless walk can sometimes take people to places where they can meet the hospitable locals, who may have been running small businesses along the streets for a very long time and who can tell a few tales about the city.

城市漫步的路线基本避开著名的景点和购物中心，在漫无目的城市漫步的过程中，有时能遇到一些好客的当地人。他们有些已经在城市街头开店很久了，有的还能讲一些关于这个城市的小故事。

Liu Renhe is one of the best-known. People call him Old Mike, and he's been running a street-side cafe for 15 years. Six years ago, he moved to this location, which is now a hot Citywalk destination.

刘仁和就是其中比较有名的一位，人们称呼他“老麦”。他已经在上海街头经营咖啡店15年了。6年前，他搬到了这个地方，这里已经成为了一个热门的城市漫步目的地。

“The composition of the clients seems changed quite a lot, from artists, designers and filmmakers, musicians, painters, into normal tourist - old and young, especially when this holiday season. They used to go to the Bund, Nanjing Road East. However, they learn from this internet, they moved to this west part of the town. And then they think this is a more typical Shanghai. There are old buildings, old streets.”

“顾客群体发生了很大变化，从一开始的艺术家、设计师、电影制作人、音乐家、画家变成了各个年龄段的普通游客。特别是在像现在这样的假期，他们之前会去外滩、南京东路，但现在，他们从网上看到了介绍，他们来到城市的西面，现在他们认为这是一个更典型的上海，这里有传统建筑和老的街区。”

There are also books about the culture of other countries and cities. Borrow one, geta coffee, and you can start another round of city exploration.

这里还有关于其它国家和城市的文化的书籍。借阅一本，点一杯咖啡，你就可以开始另一场城市探索。

All the places I walked by were ticket-free. But the zero-cost tours have been driving up consumption, making Citywalk a new magnet for businesses. In a new survey by a data researcher owned by Yicai, 82% of the respondents namedCitywalk as their ideal way of getting around town and enjoying it too!

所有我走过的地方都是不需要门票的，但是这些看起来零成本的旅行也在推动消费，让城市漫步成为对商铺的一大吸引力。第一财经进行的一项新调查显示，82%的受访者将城市漫步列为他们最理想的城市出游方式，远超其他旅游方式。

1.NDRC REPEATS CALLS FOR POLICIES AIMED AT BOOSTING CONSUMPTION

国家发改委发布恢复和扩大消费20条措施

China's top economic planner today re-iterated calls for local governments to step up measures aimed at boosting consumption amid efforts to sustain an economic recovery.  

国家发改委今天（07/31）再次呼吁地方政府采取措施恢复和扩大消费，维持经济复苏。

The National Development and Reform Commission announced 20 new measures in its notice today, covering a wide range of items and services. They included new energy vehicles, home appliances【家用电器】, electronics, catering, and cultural and tourism sectors, especially as those in rural areas. It also pledged to support family demands for housing and improved living conditions. The measures asked local governments to loosen any remaining restrictions on auto purchasing and to promote NEV usage, as well as rolling out trade-ins and the recycling of used home appliances. The measures followed NDRC statements at a meeting yesterday on China's economic performance in the first half of this year. Data show that China's gross domestic product grew 5.5 percent year-on-year to 59.3 trillion yuan in H1, and that of the country's 31 provinces, autonomous regions and cities, 13 reported GDP growth exceeding 6 percent during the period.   

国家发改委在《关于恢复和扩大消费的措施》中发布 20 条新措施，涉及项目和服务范围广泛，其中包括新能源汽车、家电、电子、餐饮、文旅等行业，尤其是农村地区的此类行业。措施还承诺支持刚性和改善性住房需求，要求各地区不得新增汽车限购措施，扩大新能源汽车消费，并深入开展家电以旧换新，加强废旧家电回收。国家发改委昨天（07/30）在通报上半年发展改革形势的时候表示，上半年中国国内生产总值同比增长5.5%，达59.3万亿元。在全国31个省区市中，13个省区市GDP增速超6%。

2.2 PEOPLE KILLED IN RAINSTORMS IN BEIJING

北京暴雨致2人遇难

Thousands of people were forced to evacuate their homes in Beijing as the remnants【残余部分】 of Typhoon Doksuri dumped record rainfall on the city and grounded flights today. Two people were reported dead in Mentougou District, one of the hardest-hit areas. Lei Shuran has more.

今天（07/31），受台风“杜苏芮”残余环流北上影响，北京市出现创纪录的降雨量，导致航班停飞，数千人紧急撤离。在受灾最为严重的门头沟区，已经通报有2人死亡。记者雷舒然带来更多报道。

The suburban districts of Mentougou and Fangshan were hit with flooding and mudslides due to the heavy rain. Some cars were washed away in a mountainous area of Mentougou. About 5,000 residents were relocated before the storm arrived, but two bodies were found during rescue work today.

本次强降雨，位于北京市郊的门头沟和房山区受灾最为严重，发生塌方和小规模山洪灾情，门头沟多山地区的一些汽车也被冲走。在这场暴雨之前，门头沟区紧急转移群众5000人左右。但不幸的是，在今天（07/31）上午的抢险巡查时，当地工作人员在河道中发现2人，已经失去生命体征。

Many roads in central Beijing were flooded as the Yongding River, the capital's biggest, burst its banks.

作为北京市境内最大的河流，永定河今天水位暴涨，洪水倾泻而下。北京市中心的许多道路被洪水淹没。

“我们在这次强降雨期间，提前启动了防汛的预案，在雨前利用人工，把所有的雨篦子全部清理了一遍，确保雨水可以顺利排出。”

“We launched a flood prevention emergency response. For example, our workers cleaned all the sewer grates before the storm to ensure  rainwater would drain properly.”

Tourist attractions were closed across the capital and many companies told their employees to stay home. By noon, 40 flights had been canceled at Beijing Capital International Airport. Weather forecasters said the rain will taper off starting tomorrow.

首都各地的旅游景点都关闭了，许多公司通知员工居家办公。截至中午，北京首都国际机场已有40个航班取消。根据天气预报，雨势从明天（08/01）开始将逐渐减弱。

3.SHANGHAI BOOSTS AI POWER FOR SMALL & MEDIUM BUSINESSES

上海发放“AI算力券”助力中小微企业发展

China's top industry regulator says the government will step up its push to support the development of small and medium-sized companies that typically specialize in niche sectors such as electronics, software, new materials, and new energy. Many of them are closely connected to AI. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan finds out how Shanghai has been helping out the SMEs.

工信部表示，政府将加大力度支持电子、软件、新材料和新能源等细分领域中小型企业的发展，这些企业大多与人工智能密切相关。记者张诗旋为您揭秘上海如何助力中小型企业发展。

In the process of industrial digitalization, cabinets like this one are a frequent sight in China's manufacturing industries, helping collect production data. The ultimate aim is to optimize the production output through analyzing the data they collect. And that's what large generative language models are coming for - to make quicker decisions automatically. This Shanghai-based industrial data service provider has been in the market for 7 years now, but it was only since this April that it started to develop large language processing models. Within just 3 months, it has already signed contracts with more than 50 companies.

在工业数字化进程中，像这样的机柜在中国制造业中屡见不鲜。这些机柜帮助收集生产数据，分析收集到的数据，最终实现优化生产产量的目标。而这正是大型生成语言模型的目的——自动做出更快的决策。这家总部位于上海的工业数据服务供应商进入市场已有7年时间，但直到今年4月，才开始开发大型语言处理模型。在短短3个月内，这家供应商已与50多家公司签订了合同。

Wang Xufei, Product Director

Zyllion Data

王旭飞 中云数据产品总监

“我们主要服务新能源汽车、集成电路、生物医药和航空航天这些企业。最初，我们只是帮助客户收集数据，在辅助用户做决策的过程中通过人力去进行。目前我们有模型的辅助，把这些信息更汇聚，并能给出一定的建议和意见。”

“We mainly serve companies in new energy vehicles, integrated circuits, biopharma, aviation【航空】, and aerospace industries. Originally, we just helped our clients collect data. But when helping them make decisions, we had to rely on human beings. Now, with support from the AI model, we can easily gather information, and give suggestions at the same time.”

And all these achievements wouldn't be possible without computing power from these Graphics Processing Unit servers at this data center in Shanghai's Lingang Special Area. The 100,000-square-meter area has more than 1,000 of them - the key to AI computing service. 80% of the users are small and medium sized companies, like Zyllion Data.

而所有这些成就的取得，都离不开上海临港特区数据中心的图形处理单元服务器的计算能力。这座占地10万平方米的数据中心拥有1000多台图形处理单元服务器，是人工智能计算服务的关键所在。这里80%都是像中云数据这样的中小型企业。

Zheng Hongfei, Marketing Director

郑鸿飞 上海有孚网络股份有限公司市场总监

“现在大概已经有大几十家的临港企业，在我们这里有做过一些关于算力需求方面的交流，甚至一些合作。在我们产品的交付层面上，真正已经交付的可能10家左右。”

“Dozens of companies in Lingang have reached out to us to seek cooperation in computing power.  We're already delivering our products to around 10 companies.”

The surging【激增】 inquiries this company is receiving are undoubtedly a result of the SMEs' emerging tech development. But an invisible driver behind their increasing volume has been preferential policies from the local government - a series of coupons for using computing services that help the companies save costs.

这家公司收到的咨询量激增，无疑是中小企业新兴技术发展的结果。但在其业务量不断增长的背后，还有一个无形的推动力，那就是当地政府的优惠政策——“AI算力券”帮助企业节约了大量成本。

Wang Xufei, Product Director

Zyllion Data

王旭飞 中云数据产品总监

“科创券，目前我们已经申领了，如果最后完成的话应该是补贴到50%。”

“We have already applied for science and innovation coupons. And if we get the coupons, we can have a 50% discount.”

Zheng Hongfei, Marketing Director

Yovole

郑鸿飞 上海有孚网络股份有限公司市场总监

“对于中小的创业型企业来说，这是一个非常大的力度了。比如原来用5台机器的，那现在因为优惠可能会用8台、10台机器。产品可能原来开发需要一个月，现在只需两周就能完成，这大大加快了企业的发展。”

“For small and medium sized startups, this is already a huge discount. For example, previously a company would book 5 of our servers, but now with the discount, it can book 8 or 10 servers. So their products which before would take a month for R&D will require just 2 weeks to complete the R&D process. That has accelerated the companies' development.”

Zhang Shixuan, Reporter

张诗旋 记者

According to the Shanghai Commission of Economy and Informatization, Shanghai is home to almost 3.3 million business entities, more than 93 percent of which are private companies or registered by individuals. The city's SMEs with annual revenues of more than 20 million yuan achieved an industrial output of 2 trillion yuan last year, accounting for almost half of the city's total. Vigorous as their businesses are, their demand for government support is pretty diverse. And so, Shanghai's newly released supportive policies for SMEs have been divided into 6 categories, covering finance, services and tech facilitation.

根据上海市经济和信息化委员会的数据，上海拥有近330万家企业实体，其中93%以上为私营企业或个人注册。去年，全市年营业收入在2000万元以上的中小企业实现了2万亿元的工业产值，占全市工业产值的近一半。企业蓬勃发展，但对政府扶持的需求却相当多样化。因此，上海最新出台的中小企业扶持政策分为六大类，涵盖金融、服务、科技促进等方面。

The plan includes provisions to distribute "AI algorithms coupons" to SMEs making use of the city's resources to innovate on core algorithms and model development by refunding up to 20 percent of the contract value. The Lingang Area has been well prepared and quick to respond to the plan.  

其中包括，对利用城市资源进行核心算法创新和模型开发的中小企业，发放“AI算力券”，最高返还合同金额的20%。临港新片区对该政策准备充分、响应迅速。

Ni Xiaojie, Deputy Director

Data Department, Lingang Special Area Management Committee

倪晓杰 临港新片区管委会数据部副主任

“目前，临港新片区已经有八个算力中心，80%以上都是智能计算的布局。在AI for science等重点行业，包括智能网联汽车、智慧城市以及国际数据港的建设，我们正探索计算算法的更多应用。”

“So far, the Lingang Special Area has 8 computing centers. More than 80% of the computing power is dedicated to intelligent computing. In areas emphasizing AI for science, including intelligent connected vehicles, smart city and global data harbor construction, we are now exploring more applications of the large models and data.”

Just last month, the area established an industrial alliance for intelligent algorithms, gathering companies in the whole industrial chain, including tech developers and computing power providers. According to a newly released action plan, the area is expected toachieve a scale of its computing power industry topping 10 billion yuan by 2025.       

就在上个月，临港新片区成立了智能算法产业联盟，聚集了包括技术开发商、算力供应商在内的全产业链企业。根据最新发布的行动计划，预计到2025年，临港新片区将实现算力产业规模突破100亿元。

2.TYPHOON DOKSURI MAKESLANDFALL IN FUJIAN

强台风“杜苏芮”在福建晋江沿海登陆

Typhoon Doksuri made landfall at 9:55 this morning at Jinjiang City in Quanzhou, Fujian Province with windspeeds of up to 180 kilometers per hour. More than 124,000 people in Fujian had been relocated as of 2pm. Zhang Hong has the story.

今天（07/28）上午9点55分，台风“杜苏芮”在福建省泉州市晋江沿海登陆，风速高达每小时180公里。截至下午2点，福建省超12.4万人被转移。记者张泓带来详细报道。

Highways in Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou were all closed as the typhoon hammered Dongshi Town in Jinjiang City leaving flooded streets and downed trees in its wake.

台风袭击了晋江市东石镇，街道被淹，树木倒伏。厦门、漳州和泉州的高速公路全部关闭。

Over 262 hectares of crops were damaged, causing over 52 million yuan in losses.

超262公顷农作物受损，造成的经济损失超5200万元。

Here in Shanghai, peripheral of the storm brought rainfall last night till early this morning and will continue to bring showers to the city tomorrow. In coastal areas of Jinshan District, neighborhood committees have made preparation in case of flooding.

昨晚到今天（07/28）凌晨，台风风暴外围给上海带来了降雨，明天将持续阵雨。金山区沿海地区，居委会已做好防汛准备。

“提醒他们及时疏通清理阳台排水管，以免积水。”

“We reminded residents to unclog the drainage pipes on their balconies【阳台】 in case of heavy rainfall.”

In the subdistrict of Shihua, the Weiling Road underpass has poor drainage and flooded during last Friday's intense rainfall, up to 60 centimeters of rain collected in the tunnel. Police say they are monitoring the tunnel closely, and if accumulated rainwater exceeds 25 centimeters, the tunnel will be closed. The Shanghai Meteorological Bureau said as the Doksuri tracks farther north its intensity【强度】 decreases, as well as its impact on Shanghai.

石化街道卫零路的地下通道排水不畅，在上周五的强降雨中被淹，隧道内积水高达60厘米。警方表示，他们正密切监控隧道，如果积水超过25厘米，将关闭隧道。上海气象局表示，随着“杜苏芮”向北移动，其强度会减弱，对上海的影响也将随之减弱。

Although Doksuri’s impact on Shanghai is light, another storm spun up in the last 48 hours, it received its name and number this morning when it intensified to tropical storm status.

虽然“杜苏芮”对上海影响较小，但在过去的48小时内又出现了另一场台风风暴。今天（07/28）上午，该风暴增强为热带风暴，并获得了名称和编号。

Wu Rui, Chief Service Officer

邬锐 上海市气象局首席服务官

“现在从各家的预报的路径来看，第六号台风‘卡努’（热带风暴）正向华东沿海靠近，但未来因为副热带高压的变化，包括它跟其他天气系统的一些互相作用，可能还存在一定的不确定性，我们也在加强监测当中。”

“The forecasted route by various agencies show the No.6 tropical cyclone "Khanun" is headed for the east coast of China. But due to the change of subtropical high pressure and other factors, uncertainties still remain. We're continuing to monitor the situation.”

Shanghai managed to thread the needle in terms of Doksuri's outer rain bands for most of today, but showers are expected tonight and tomorrow.

今天（07/28）大部分时段，上海都躲过了“杜苏芮”外围雨带的影响，但预计今晚和明天会有阵雨。

3.WORLD E-SPORTS - IS CHINA ITS NATURAL HOME?

杭州亚运会，将和电子竞技擦出怎样的火花？

With the E-sports industry gaining in global reputation, the idea of putting together a global E-Sports community is a major focus at this year's annual World E-Sports in Shanghai. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan has been looking into the development of the e-sports industry and finds China has several important advantages in the market.

随着电子竞技产业在全球范围内声名鹊起，打造全球电子竞技社区的理念成为今年在上海举行的全球电竞大会的一大焦点。记者张诗旋带领大家一起对电子竞技产业的发展一探究竟，并了解中国电竞市场的几大优势。

At this afternoon's forum, major game producer Riot Games announced that the second international event of the 2024 VALORANT Champions Tour will be held in the Chinese city of Shanghai. Valorant is a game new to the Chinese mainland - launched just this July on the mainland - so setting the tournament in Shanghai is really testimony to the rapid development of e-sports in China and to the outstanding performance of Chinese teams.

在今天（07/28）下午的论坛上，大型游戏制作公司“拳头游戏”宣布，2024年《无畏契约（瓦罗兰特）》冠军巡回赛第二届国际赛事将在中国上海举办。《无畏契约（瓦罗兰特）》是今年7月刚刚在中国大陆推出的一款新游戏。将赛事设在上海举行，也证明了中国电子竞技的快速发展和中国战队的优异成绩。

“把大家放到一个亚洲游戏平台上，必须有一套标准化的流程，包括装备、组织、团队发展、协作、管理等整个过程。这套标准化的流程将有助于电子竞技在未来的一段时间内成为整个行业的标准化。在亚洲比赛舞台上，有很多传统体育爱好者将有机会真正地关注电竞。我们应该能够吸引更多新的观众和电竞参与者。就像刀塔一样，我们应该从传统体育方面学到很多东西，学习如何组织大型赛事，如何管理亚洲范围内的细节，这是一种多学科的传统体育。”

“To put everybody into an Asian game platform, there has to be a standardized processes in terms of equipment, in terms of how to organize them, in terms of the team development, how to collaborate, how to manage the whole sports process. So this standardization process will help the e-sports in the later time in the future would be a standardized, the whole industry. On the stage of Asian game, there are a lot of traditional sports lovers would have opportunity to really look at the e-sports. And we should be able to attract a lot more new viewers and new e-sports participation. Like us, for Dota, we should be able to learn a lot from the traditional sports part, learning how to organize a huge event, how to manage details in terms of Asian wide, a multi disciplinary【纪律】 kind of traditional sports.”

Experts say the inclusion of e-sports in the Asian Games is a promising sign of the industry's significance here, though of course there is always room for future development.

专家表示，电子竞技被纳入亚运会是一个充满希望的信号，表明了这一行业的重要性，未来仍有较大发展空间。

“我们可以很明显的看到中国在电竞产业发展中最重要的一个优势是人群优势，那就是我们拥有巨大的用户，我们有巨大的人群。我们无论是硬件的建设、网络的配置，以及整个城市配套的发展都具有很明显的优势。在整个项目的研发方面，同时在整个环境方面，很重要的一点就是电竞在其他城市的发展过程中，已经和高校的教育，和整个社会的发展，乃至和传统体育的融合更为紧密，我们在这一点上还有很长的路要走。”

“We can clearly see that in the development of China's e-sports, one of the most important advantages is people. We have huge number of users. And also, we have obvious advantages in hardware, networks and city infrastructure construction. But in terms of project R&D and the whole environment, compared with some cities in other countries, we have a long way to go in creating close connections with college education and ties with traditional sports.”

A fresh report released yesterday in Shanghai showed that in the first half of the year, China's e-sports industry saw sales revenue of almost 65 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.2%. And that figure didn't include revenue from e-sports livestreams, club operations and tournaments. The upcoming Asian Games is expected to give the industry another good win.

昨天（07/27）上海发布的一份最新报告显示，今年上半年，中国电子竞技产业实现营收近650亿元，同比增长1.2%。而且这一数字还不包括电子竞技直播、俱乐部运营和赛事收入。即将到来的亚运会有望让电子竞技产业再创佳绩。

1.FALLEN HEROES REMEMBERED

缅怀英雄！抗美援朝战争胜利70周年纪念日

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Commemorative【纪念的】events have been held around the country. Sun Siqi has the story.

7月27日是抗美援朝战争胜利70周年纪念日，全国各地举办了一系列纪念活动。本台记者孙思奇带来详细报道。

A commemoration ceremony was held this morning at the Chinese People's Volunteer Army Martyrs'【烈士】Cemetery【墓地】in Shenyang. Veterans【退伍军人】, families of heroes who died in the war, and representatives of the community laid flowers at the monument. The cemetery was built in 1951 and is the final resting place for 123 martyrs from the Chinese People's Volunteer Army.

今天（07/27）上午，沈阳抗美援朝烈士陵园举行了纪念活动。抗战老兵、英烈家属和社会各界代表向纪念碑献花。沈阳烈士陵园始建于1951年，是123名中国人民志愿军烈士的安息之地。

“My parents were among those who crossed Yalu River.They fought and bled side-by-side. It's been 70 years, but we mustn't forget.”

An exhibition at the memorial site opened today after curators【策展人】 spent months collecting documents and items from the war. One of the highlights is a photo album with picturesof General Su Yu and Premier Zhou Enlai visiting the DPRK for negotiations about the withdrawal of armies.

纪念馆的特展于今日揭幕。策展人们花了几个月时间收集战争中的文件和物品。展览的一大亮点是一本相册，里面有粟裕将军和周恩来总理访问朝鲜进行撤军谈判的照片。

2.FAST TRAINING OF NEW REPAIR STAFF NEEDED TO SUPPORT NEV SECTOR GROWTH

买车容易修车难，新能源汽车维修人员缺口大

Riding the waves of the green transition, China's new energy vehicle sector has turbocharged growth and entered the fast lane. But the rapid shift to NEVs has created a stark issue when it comes to auto repairs and maintenance - a shortage of NEV mechanics. Lei Shuran has more.

乘着绿色转型的东风，中国新能源汽车行业加速发展，驶入快车道。但是，在向新能源汽车快速转型的过程中，汽车维修和保养方面出现了一个严峻的问题——新能源汽车技工短缺。本台记者雷舒然为您带来详细报道。

With the number of new energy vehicles on the roads skyrocketing【猛涨】in recent years, millions of drivers in China are soon going to need a lot more auto mechanics and backup staff who can fix their new batteries-on-wheels, as well as all the technical supports for them. As of now there just aren't enough to go around. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reports China is likely to need at least one million more NEV repairmen and technicians by 2025. By that time, NEV owners will need five times more NEV mechanics than the country will have. Many auto repair shops including this one in Shanghai have already been running into the problem.

随着近年来道路上新能源汽车数量的激增，中国数以百万计的驾驶员很快将需要更多的汽车修理工和后备人员来修理他们的新车载电池，并为他们提供各种技术支持。目前，这些人员还远远不够。据工业和信息化部报告，到2025年，中国可能需要至少100万名新能源汽车修理工和技术人员。届时，新能源汽车车主所需的汽车维修人员将是届时全国维修人员总数的五倍。包括上海这家汽车修理厂在内的许多汽车修理厂已经遇到了这个问题。

Gong Guanxiong, Owner of Gavin’s Garage

龚冠雄加文的车库主理人

“目前是有一个增长趋势，尤其是20年以后，更多电动车产品投入市场以后，那么这个增长趋势还是蛮明显的。然后我们这边增长的话，大概是每年以20%的这么一个数量来在增长。主要是一些动力部分的话，电车它的驱动单元和驱动控制模块是完全不同的，那么相比原来的燃油车，它会对维修人员的要求是有一些对电操作这些具体的要求，且目前整个市场来看的话，是肯定是缺少的这么一个人才的这么一个市场。”

"More NEV models have come into the market since 2020, and since then we've had an annual growth of around 20 percent in the number of repair orders. It's quite different from repairing a gasoline-powered vehicle. NEVs have different drive units and systems, and mechanics need to have specific knowledge and skills to manage those things. There's definitely a talent shortage in the market now.”

And it's not just about learning new skills. Gong says the work requires mechanics to have specialized equipment and tools to work on some NEV batteries and systems, different from usual low-voltage auto electronics.

这不仅仅是学习新技能的问题。龚关雄说，这项工作要求修理师使用专门的设备和工具处理与通常的低压汽车电子设备不同的新能源电池和系统。

Gong Guanxiong, Owner of Gavin’s Garage

龚冠雄加文车库主理人

“目前软件的话，燃油车主要还是以这个OBD的这么一个标准，就是我们所谓的on board diagnostic这么一个系统，那么新的像特斯拉新能源车的话，类似于特斯拉这种，那么以特斯拉为例，它的一个整个系统就是完全不同的，那么可能需要我们新的这些额外的特殊工具、特殊软件去进行一些诊断。”

"For example, when repairing a gasoline-powered car, we have a system called on-board diagnostics that provides vehicle self-diagnosis and reporting capabilities. But when fixing a Tesla, we need specific tools or computer systems to figure out what’s wrong with it as it's totally different from its gasoline-powered predecessors.”

To keep NEV owners from facing long waits to have their cars serviced, experts are warning that more attention needs to be paid to improving current auto repair training.

专家警告说，为了避免新能源汽车车主长时间等待汽车维修，需要更加重视改善目前的汽车维修培训。

Zhang Junyi, Head of Automotive & Industrial Goods, Greater China of Oliver Wyman

张君毅奥纬咨询大中华区汽车与工业品业务主管

“When doing the education in the big universities, you need collaboration further with the industry players, for example OEM suppliers, because only them have the in-time technology, and also knowing where to go and how to go. You need to have on-track tech textbooks and teachers and course to reflect the current technology growth. And you need to have more and more vocational technician school to support this growth.”

“在大专院校开展教育时，需要进一步与行业参与者合作，如原始设备制造商供应商，因为只有他们才掌握及时的技术，也知道未来的发展趋势以及如何发展。需要有与时俱进的技术教科书、教师和课程，以反映当前的技术发展。需要有越来越多的职业技术学校来支持培养更多维修师。”

According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, auto production in China reached ten million units in the first five months of the year, up 11 percent from 2022 with NEV production having gone up 45 percent year-on-year to three million units. The problem now is how to maintain this fast-growing NEV fleet on the road. Zhang said, it will take the schools working together with industry - and fast.

根据中国汽车工业协会的数据，今年前五个月中国汽车产量达到1000万辆，比2022年增长11%，其中新能源汽车产量同比增长45%，达到300万辆。现在的问题是，如何维持这支快速增长的新能源汽车车队继续上路行驶。张君毅说，这需要学校与汽车产业共同努力，加快步调。

3.A NEW EXHIBITION SPACE FOR ANCIENT ARTIFACTS

青铜神树“喜迁新居”！三星堆博物馆新馆试运营

The new building of the Sanxingdui Museum in Southwest China's Sichuan Province began trial operations today. The all of the first 600 artifacts unearthed from the Sanxingdui ruins are on display in the new space. Zhang Hong tells us more.

位于中国四川省西南部的三星堆博物馆新馆今天（07/27）开始试运行。三星堆遗址首批出土的600件文物全部在新馆展出。记者张泓带来详细报道。

The construction of the Sanxingdui Museum's new 1.4-billion-yuan building was completed in 16 months. It has two floors and covers an area of 54,400 square meters, five times larger than the old exhibition venue, and the largest museum displaying artifacts in southwestern China.

三星堆博物馆新馆耗资14亿元、历经16个月建设完成。新馆共两层，占地面积5.44万平方米，是原展馆的5倍，是目前西南地区建成的最大的遗址类博物馆单体建筑。

Yu Jian, Vice Curator of Sanxingdui Museum

余健四川广汉三星堆博物馆副馆长

“新馆我们整个展陈面积，可能比我们现在（新馆开放前）展陈的面积多两到三倍，文物的数量也是多了两到三倍的文物数量。”

“The new building offers an exhibition area that is two to three times larger than we had before. We can showcase two to three times as many relics as before.”

A total of more than 1,500 pieces of exhibits, including pottery, bronze, jade, and gold will be on display in the new building. More than 300 of the artifacts on display were recently excavated

【挖掘】from sacrificial pits No. 3 to No. 8. Among the highlights are a nearly 4-meter-high bronze tree, golden masks, and bronze figurines, all dating back to approximately 3,000 years

ago. Wooden supports were used to secure the bronze tree when it was moved into the exhibition hall.

新馆将展出包括陶器、青铜器、玉石器和金器在内各类文物共1500余件（套），其中包括300余件三星堆遗址3号至8号祭祀坑新出土的文物。展览中最引人注目的是一棵近4米高的青铜神树、黄金面具和青铜立人像，所有这些文物都可以追溯到大约3000年前。在将青铜神树移入展厅时，使用了木条来固定保护树干和树枝，防止文物破损。

Guo Hanzhong, Deputy Director of Relics Preservation, Sanxingdui Museum

郭汉中三星堆博物馆文物保管部副部长

“现在上面绑了多少个节啊，无数个无数个，加固牢实就对了。人都离远点，别碰着了。”

"We tied up a lot of junctions of these wood pieces to ensure it's stable. And we made sure it wouldn't be damaged by passers-by.”

During the trial operation, admission will remain at 72 yuan, with students getting in half price. Located in Guanghan city, the Sanxingdui Ruins are believed to be the remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom which was at its height around 3,000 years ago.

试运行期间暂执行原票价，普通票72元，学生票半价36元。三星堆遗址位于广汉市，据说

是距今约3000年前古蜀王国鼎盛时期的遗迹。

2.WITH EXPANDING AI APPLICATIONS, WHO’S IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT?

人工智能蓬勃发展：由谁掌握方向盘？

A raft of Chinese tech giants launched their own AI models at the beginning of the year, and now new applications are being developed, creating new demands for qualified professionals. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan visited a tech firm and a university in Shanghai to see where they are all coming from.  

今年年初，一大批中国科技巨头推出了自己的人工智能模型，如今新的应用程序正在开发中，对高素质专业人才提出了新的要求。本报记者张诗旋走访了上海一家科技公司和一所高校，了解当前技术发展状况。

With just a few voice instructions the car can quickly respond to a driver’s request or question. More appropriately speaking, it’s the new cabin system that is handling the responses. The idea of smart cabin systems has been around for a while, but with support from Sense Time’s new AI model sets, new applications are now possible. It’s all keeping engineers and product directors busy. Liu Hao is one of them.

只需几个语音指令，汽车就能迅速响应驾驶员的请求或问题。更准确地说，是新的车舱系统在处理这些回应。智能车舱系统的概念已经存在了一段时间，但在商汤科技的新人工智能模型集的支持下，将诞生更多的新应用程序。这一切都让工程师和产品总监们忙得不可开交。刘浩就是其中之一。

Liu Hao, Innovation Product Manager of Intelligent Cabin, SenseAuto

刘浩（音译）商汤绝影智能车舱创新产品经理

“之前在车舱主要做一些深度学习图像感知类的产品工作，随着大模型的发展，然后加入了创新部门之后，主要是研究最前沿的大模型的产品和技术，把它应用到车舱内，打造一些全新的产品。”

“I had been mainly working on products related to deep learning and image recognition. But now, with the development of big AI models, I’ve joined the innovation department. I now work on new applications of the big model technologies in vehicle cabins.”

The product innovation department Liu now works in, is a brand-new segment【部分】of the company, established just at the beginning of the year as the company was finishing off its planning for its big AI models.

刘浩现在所在的产品创新部是公司的一个新部门，于今年年初成立，当时公司刚刚完成人工智能大模型的规划。

邵昌旭（音译），商汤绝影智能座舱产品创新高级总监

“我们要了解一些前沿科技的内容，了解最前沿的大模型的进展、技术，分析调研用户需求，把技术和需求联系在一起，我们工作包括了前期需求分析、技术导入、产品方案设计、前期项目落地都是由创新团队去主导的。”

“We have to learn more about the advanced big model development, and also analyze users’ demands, so as to connect technology with the actual demands. The product innovation department is now responsible for demand analysis, tech introduction, product and solution design as well as early-stage project implementation【实施】.”

Shao says that while the first members of the department’s team were selected from within the company, he’s now looking for more staff from outside.

邵昌旭说，虽然该部门的第一批成员是从公司内部选拔的，但现在正在寻找更多的外部人才。

Shao Changxu, Senior Director, Product Innovation Intelligent Cabin, SenseAuto

“随着大模型的涌现，收到来自车厂非常多的需求。旅游规划、儿童陪伴、教育这些场景在大模型发布之前几乎很难做到的，但是目前成为现实。这个架构从端侧升级到云端一体的方案，其实对于整个的产品、设计、开发以及质量验收测试都提出了非常高的需求，各行各业都有一些跨界的人才需求。”

“With the emergence of the large AI model, we have received a huge number of demands from car makers. Functions such as travel route planning, and children’s services weren’t possible without the big models. But now the structure has been upgraded from just the user end to a combination of that with the cloud. We now have higher requirements for product design, R&D and quality control. We need people from different industries.”

Zhang Shixuan, Reporter

张诗旋本台记者

While the concept of big AI models has only recently come under the public spotlight, only just recently, the academic world has been preparing for it for quite a while now. The beyond-expectation job offers for the graduates are proof of the hot demand for qualified professionals in the field.

虽然大型人工智能模型的概念最近才成为公众关注的焦点，但学术界已经为此准备了很长时间。毕业生们超乎预期的就业率证明了该领域对高素质专业人才的热切需求。

Prof. Zhao Hai, Dept. of Computer Science & Engineeringof Shanghai Jiao Tong University

赵海上海交通大学计算机科学与工程系教授

“博士生有曾经收到过offer年薪达到200万。硕士生呢一般是去就是我们常说的大型的IT公司，他们的自然语言处理方向的部门的招生是还是非常的积极的，实际上本质上是供不应求的问题。我们有特别优秀的硕士毕业生能拿到80万的起薪的年薪。”

“One of my doctoral graduates once got an offer with an annual salary of 2 million yuan. Master’s graduates usually go to large IT companies, which are very active in enrolling new people in departments related to natural language processing. There’s not enough talent to fill the demand.  Some of my top master’s graduates are getting jobs with an annual income of more than 800,000 yuan.”

Zhao has been teaching students at Shanghai Jiao Tong University specifically in the natural language processing field - the key knowledge required for big AI models - for more than a decade now. And he says the big job offers have been coming in for at least the last seven years.

十多年来，赵海教授一直在上海交通大学教授自然语言处理课程——这是大型人工智能模型所需的核心知识。他说，至少在过去的七年里，该行业的就业机会还是比较不错的。

Prof. Zhao Hai, Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering Shanghai Jiao Tong University

“从3月份开始到7月份，每天平均一天都会有一封邮件要要求来读博士。现在有ChatGPT，所以比如说今年的这些课的话，我就补了一章就是大语言模型。”

“From March to July, on average I’ve been getting one email application to study for a PhD every day. After the launch of ChatGPT, I added another chapter into my lessons, on the big language model.”

Zhao has just written a textbook specifically on natural language processing, which has included the most recent trendy concept-large language models involving ChatGPT. A college graduate employment data report released by Liepin says that the demand for doctoral graduates in the field has more than quadrupled from a year ago.       

赵教授刚刚撰写了一本专门讲解自然语言处理的教科书，其中包括了最近流行的概念——涉及ChatGPT的大型语言模型。猎豹网发布的一份高校毕业生就业数据报告显示，该领域对博士毕业生的需求比一年前增加了四倍以上。
