CHINESE ECONOMY REBOUNDS IN NOVEMBER

中国经济11月出现反弹

The recently-concluded Central Economic Work Conference also noted that China's economy has achieved a recovery, with solid progress made in high-quality development in 2023. Our reporters have spoken to 5 economists from leading financial institutions to get their take on the conference and the signals it's sent. In today's interview, our reporter Zhang Shixuan spoke to Wang Dan, the Chief Economist at Hang Seng Bank China.

最近结束的中央经济工作会议也提到，中国经济正在复苏，2023年高质量发展扎实推进。我们的记者采访了来自5家领头金融机构的经济学家，谈一谈他们对会议所传达的信号的解读。在今天的采访中，本台记者张诗旋采访了恒生银行（中国）首席经济学家王丹。

What signal have you received from the just concluded Central Economic Work Conference? Is stimulus going to be effective in getting back the country's economic momentum?

刚刚结束的中央经济工作会议，你收到了什么信号？刺激计划能有效地恢复国家的经济势头吗？

The previous meetings, including the politburo meeting has sent out a signal that the government will implement bigger stimulus in 2024 than the past two years. This is quite necessary for many of the domestic producers. They're trying to find new markets, not just domestic markets, but also overseas market. Their production capacity has exceeded what Chinese mainland market can absorb. So there is a need to find new projects, new market to basically use up their production capacity.

包括政治局会议在内的前几次会议发出了一个信号，即政府将在2024年实施比过去两年更大的刺激措施。这对许多国内生产商来说是非常必要的。他们正在努力寻找新市场，不仅是国内市场，还有海外市场。他们的生产能力已经超过了中国大陆市场的消化能力。所以有必要找到新的项目，新的市场来消化他们的产能。

How important is this year's Central Economic Work Conference, given the headwinds faced by the Chinese economy at the moment?

考虑到目前中国经济面临的不利因素，今年的中央经济工作会议有多重要？

We're looking to the new GDP target in the Central Work Economic Conference. It will be quite essential for business community to make their plan for the next year. Because this year, the investment mood is quite tamed. But next year, many people expect a turnaround. The biggest problem for Chinese economy is still a lack of confidence. It's not just for consumers, but also investors. And that means for the GDP target in 2024, it has to be a little bit more ambitious than just based on fundamentals. So we're expecting more government-led projects, especially in the new energy industry, supply chain and water projects in central and western China, city renovation projects. So a lot of the fiscal expansion has to take place. And for domestic consumers, they're expecting faster income growth and that depends on the job market security. In order to achieve that, we also need the government to take a more relaxed stance in both monetary policy and fiscal policy. So the Central Economic Work Conference is the foundation for business community and also it can significantly improve the market sentiment.

我们关注中央工作经济工作会议提出新的GDP目标。对于商界来说，制定明年的计划是非常重要的。因为今年，投资情绪相当温和。但明年，许多人预计情况会好转。中国经济面临的最大问题仍然是缺乏信心。这不仅适用于消费者，也适用于投资者。这意味着，对于2024年的GDP目标来说，它必须比仅仅基于基本面的目标更雄心勃勃。因此，我们预计会有更多政府主导的项目，特别是在中国中西部的新能源产业、供应链和水利项目、城市改造项目方面。所以必须进行大量的财政扩张。对于国内消费者来说，他们预计收入增长会更快，这取决于就业市场的安全性。为了实现这一目标，我们还需要政府在货币政策和财政政策方面采取更加宽松的立场。因此，中央经济工作会议是企业界的基础，也可以显著改善市场情绪。

How do you view the economic situation this year in China? 

你如何看待今年中国的经济形势？

2023 is indeed a year of deep adjustment. And we have seen this real turnaround for consumer market because last year the base was too low. So just by a natural rebounding consumer market, we have seen a 7% to 8% of growth in retail market for most Chinese cities. And when we look at the GDP growth for different sectors, it is quite uplifting. But there is a gap between the macro data and micro perception. The main reason for that is this year's growth was still mostly driven by government projects and that is mostly turned into stock building, capital formation as well as manufacturing investment. Those things don't necessarily turn into people's income and that's why on the micro level, a lot of individuals feel that their wage hasn't grown as fast as before. I would say this year the official target will be met without a doubt on the 5% GDP target. There's no doubt we can achieve that. But in the months to come, there has to be more targeted measures trying to improve the quality of life and that includes income growth as well as job security.

2023年确实是深度调整的一年。我们已经看到了消费市场的真正转变，因为去年的基数太低了。因此，仅凭消费市场的自然反弹，我们就可以看到中国大多数城市的零售市场增长了7%至8%。当我们看到其它产业的GDP增长时，这是非常令人振奋的。但宏观数据和微观感知之间存在差距。主要原因是今年的增长仍然主要由政府项目推动，而这些项目大多转化为建设存量、资本形成和制造业投资。这些东西不一定会转化为人们的收入，这就是为什么在微观层面上，很多人觉得他们的工资没有以前增长得那么快。我想说，今年的官方设定的5%的GDP目标毫无疑问将实现。但在未来几个月里，必须采取更有针对性的措施，努力提高生活质量，其中包括收入增长和工作保障。

投资者摆脱低迷的通胀数据

2. SHANGHAI MUSEUM PRESENTS DA VINCI ALONGSIDE CHINESE ARTISTS OF SAME ERA

18幅达·芬奇及文艺复兴时代作品抵达上海博物馆

1. INVESTORS SHRUG OFF SLUGGISH INFLATION DATA

投资者摆脱低迷的通胀数据

Chinese A-shares rebounded this afternoon, shrugging off weaker economic data published at the weekend. Here's Timothy Pope with a look at the day's trading action.

A股今天（12/11）下午出现反弹，摆脱了周末公布的疲软经济数据的影响。记者Timothy Pope带来对今天市场交易情况的分析。

Chinese Mainland markets started the day sharply lower as investors reacted to the Saturday's sluggish【行动迟缓的】consumer and producer inflation numbers. But with the CPI falling at the fastest pace in three years, and both measures of inflation coming under increasing pressure, it does boost the case for some form of stimulus measures to come out of the Chinese Government's Central Economic Work Conference. That agenda-setting meeting is expected to be held this week. The Shanghai Composite gained sharply after the lunch time trading break to close 0.7 percent higher. The Shenzhen Component ended the day 0.8 percent higher.

投资者对周六消费者和生产者低迷的通胀数据作出了反应，中国内地市场开盘大幅走低。但是，随着消费者物价指数以三年来最快的速度下降，这两项通胀指标都面临着越来越大的压力，有助于中国政府在中央经济工作会议上出台的刺激措施，该会议将于本周召开。上证综指在午间休市后大幅上涨，收盘上涨0.7%。深成指收盘上涨0.8%。

Real Estate stocks didn't really participate in the late rally【回升】, and remained the biggest drag on the mainland markets. A sub-index tracking them ended 1.5 percent lower. 

房地产股并未真正参与尾盘的反弹，仍然是拖累内地市场的最大因素。房地产股的分指数收盘下跌1.5%。

Zhengzhou Coal Mining led gains among energy stocks -- rising 5.7 percent after announcing a 300 to 600 million yuan share buyback plan over the next 12 months. 

郑煤机在能源股中涨幅居前——在宣布未来12个月3-6亿元的股票回购计划后，上涨了 5.7%。

Hong Kong's markets traded lower all day as consumer and tech shares dragged down the Hang Seng. The main index was off 0.8 percent while the Tech Index was 0.4 percent lower.

由于消费股和科技股拖累了恒生指数，香港股市全天走低。恒生指数下跌0.8%，科技股指数下跌0.4%。

JD.com was one of the day's biggest decliners, shedding 6.3 percent alongside other tech names including Baidu and Meituan.

京东是今天跌幅最大的股票之一，下跌了 6.3%，百度和美团等其他科技股也都下降。

Li Ning was the biggest loser on the Hang Seng though, slumping 14.3 percent to a more than 3 and a half year low. Those falls could be related to the company's decision to buy a new Hong Kong headquarters building. The 22-storey commercial and retail building in Hong Kong's North Point is going to cost Li Ning more than 280 million US dollars. 

李宁是恒生指数的最大输家，暴跌14.3%，创逾三年半新低。下跌可能与该公司决定购买一座新的香港总部大楼有关。这座位于香港北角的22层商业零售大楼将花费李宁超过2.8亿美元。

And in Japan the Nikkei 225 rebounded off Friday's one month low, rising 1.5 percent. The Japanese yen had been at a four month high against the US dollar, which prompted a sell-off of stocks in Tokyo late last week. Today there was a correction【回调】in the yen, slipping back to more than 145.6 per dollar, which was good news for much of the country's export oriented stocks. Nissan added 2.5 percent while Nintendo rose 1.4 percent.

在日本市场，日经225指数从上周五的月低点反弹，上涨了1.5%。日元对美元汇率曾创下四个月来的新高，这促使东京股市在上周末出现抛售。今天，日元汇率出现回调，回落到1 美元兑145.6日元以上，这对该国大部分出口导向型股票来说是个好消息。日产汽车上涨了2.5%，任天堂上涨了1.4%。

2. SHANGHAI MUSEUM PRESENTS DA VINCI ALONGSIDE CHINESE ARTISTS OF SAME ERA

18幅达·芬奇及文艺复兴时代作品抵达上海博物馆

Shanghai Museum reopened yesterday after being closed two months for renovations. The "Who is Leonardo da Vinci?" exhibition has quickly attracted attention as it's based on a dialogue between Renaissance masters, led by da Vinci, and Chinese artists from the 15th and 16th centuries. Sun Siqi has more.

上海博物馆在闭馆整修两个月后于昨天重新开放。“对话达•芬奇——文艺复兴与东方美学艺术特展”以达-芬奇为首的文艺复兴大师与15、16世纪中国艺术家之间的对话为主题，迅速引起了人们的关注。记者孙思奇带来更多报道。

Da Vinci's painting "La Scapigliata", or "The Lady with Disheveled Hair" from the collection of the National Gallery of Parma is unquestionably the exhibition's highlight. The gallery only loans it outside of Italy once every five years. A 2019 exhibition at the Louvre Museum in Paris was the last time it was outside of Italy.

帕尔马国家美术馆收藏的达-芬奇画作《La Scapigliata》，即《头发飘逸的女子》，无疑是本次展览的亮点。帕尔马国家美术馆每五年才将这幅画借出意大利一次。2019年在巴黎卢浮宫博物馆举办的展览是它最后一次走出意大利。

"La Scapigliata" is an unfinished oil painting with umber and white lead pigments【颜料】 on a small poplar wood panel. It is the outline of a young woman, face gently angled downward, disheveled hair flowing behind her with half-closed eyes and ambiguous smile. It's frequently compared to the Mona Lisa.

《头发飘逸的女子》是一幅未完成的油画作品，用黄褐色和铅白颜料在橡木板上所绘。其描绘了一位头发飘逸的年轻女性，双目低垂，轻轻颔首，脸上带着一抹若有似无的微笑。这幅画经常被拿来与《蒙娜丽莎》相比较。

Italian art historians found a frame for this masterpiece since it didn't originally have a frame to protect it. 

意大利艺术史学家为这幅杰作找到了一个画框，因为它原本没有画框保护。

Chu Xin, Deputy Director Exhibition Department, SH Museum

上海博物馆展览部副主任 褚馨

“The frame and the painting were delivered to us separately in two boxes. The frame contains several settings to make sure that the painting can be kept at a perfect temperature and humidity【湿度】. We'll also record the data and send it to the Italian gallery every two weeks to keep them updated. It's the first time for us to exhibit a painting in such a traditional yet professional way. We've learned a lot from the Italian side in terms of how to protect a masterpiece. ”

“这个画框是单独和这幅油画一起运过来，运过来之后是分两个箱子画框有多种设置，以确保画作能保持在最佳的温度和湿度下。我们还将记录数据，每两周发送给意大利画廊一次，以便随时更新。这是我们第一次以如此传统而专业的方式展出画作。在如何保护杰作方面，我们从意大利方面学到了很多。”

Francesco D'Arelli Exhibition Curato

意大利驻沪总领事馆官员、意方策展人 达仁利

“This exhibition could be the starting point of a different approach of the cultural dialogue and so Shanghai Museum is a very excellent museum in the eastern China. Shanghai museum could be the door, the window for this new approach in displaying what are the treasures of our both civilizations. ”

“上海博物馆是华东地区非常出色的博物馆。上海博物馆可以成为展示我们两种文明瑰宝的新途径的大门和窗口。”

The exhibition features 18 treasured Renaissance artworks from Italy, as well as 18 ancient Chinese paintings from Shanghai Museum's collection. Also on display are pieces by other Renaissance masters including two sketches by Michelangelo, and paintings by pupils of da Vinci.

展览展出了18件来自意大利的文艺复兴时期珍贵艺术品，以及上海博物馆收藏的18件中国古代绘画作品。此外，还展出了文艺复兴时期其他艺术大师的作品，包括米开朗基罗的两幅素描和达-芬奇学生的画作。

Shanghai Museum has selected 18 paintings from its collection of Chinese art as part of an artistic dialogue with the Renaissance masters. The most famous one is arguably Tang Yin's "Lady With Fan in the Autumn Breeze". Also known as Tang Bohu, Tang Yin of the Ming Dynasty is a household name in China, and this painting is regarded as one of his most famous even though it has been 25 years since it was last on public display at the museum.

上海博物馆从其中国艺术藏品中精选了18幅画作，作为与文艺复兴大师进行艺术对话的一部分。其中最有名的是唐寅的《秋风纨扇图》。在明代时期，唐寅又名唐伯虎，在中国家喻户晓。这幅画是他最著名的作品之一，它上次在博物馆公开展出已是25年前。

Chu Xin, Deputy Director Exhibition Department, SH Museum

上海博物馆展览部副主任 褚馨

“Our exhibit designer used an arch and traditional Chinese window to break the boundaries between different topics. For example, while visitors are gazing upon da Vinci's painting, they will also be able to see the works of Chinese artists through a window. I think it is quite interesting and full of artistic value, giving people time and space to stop and think. ”

“这次设计师用了这个西式的这个拱门和中式的这个花窗与园林的花窗，通过这样的一种布景和这样的一种打破这个空间和空间之间的隔断。比如，参观者在欣赏达芬奇画作的同时，还能透过窗户看到中国艺术家的作品。我认为这非常有趣，充满了艺术价值，让人们有时间和空间停下来思考。”

The exhibition includes 11 pages from the Codex Atlanticus, a set of drawings and texts, that are being shown in China for the first time. The manuscript covers a wide range of subjects, including studies and sketches of paintings, mechanics, mathematics, astronomy as well as inventions such as the parachute【降落伞】, war machines and hydraulic pumps.

此次展览还包括首次在中国展出的《大西洋古抄本》中的11页手稿，这是一套图画和文字手稿。手稿内容广泛，包括绘画、机械、数学、天文学以及降落伞、战争机器和液压泵等发明的研究和草图。

1.CENTRAL GOVERNMENT ISSUES NEW GUIDELINES FOR FTZ

国务院印发总体方案推进上海自贸试验区高水平制度型开放

2.SHANGHAI FORECAST SHOWING RAIN FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY

出行记得带伞！上海天气预报显示将迎来降雨

----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------

1.CENTRAL GOVERNMENT ISSUES NEW GUIDELINES FOR FTZ

国务院印发总体方案推进上海自贸试验区高水平制度型开放

China’s State Council has issued new guidelines to expand the Shanghai Free Trade Zone into a demonstration area for what it calls “institutional【制度的】opening-up”. Sun Siqi tells us more about what it means.

国务院印发了推动上海自由贸易试验区打造“制度性开放”示范区的新方案。本台记者孙思奇为我们详细介绍这一战略举措的意义。

Officials said during the past ten years, the Shanghai Free Trade Zone has accumulated abundant experience for deeper opening-up. Among the 302 regulatory innovations that developed across all of the FTZs in China, 145 came from Shanghai. And in the future, the central government envisions【预想】 a more systemic opening-up for the Shanghai FTZ.

官方表示，过去十年，上海自贸区为深化对外开放积累了丰富经验。国家层面复制推广的302项自贸试验区改革试点经验中，源自上海自贸区的有145项。未来，中央政府计划对上海自贸区进行更系统的开放。

Hua Yuan, Vice Mayor of Shanghai

华源上海市人民政府副市长

“这次《总体方案》在自贸试验区制度创新成效的基础上，对‘边境’管理制度改革和‘边境后’管理制度改革都提出了更高标准。比如在货物贸易方面，我们将围绕提高国际贸易效率、降低国际贸易成本的目标，不断提高贸易便利化和贸易数字化水平。”

“On the basis of what we achieved at the FTZ, the guidelines have specified stronger reforms in regulations on border control. For example, in cross-border trade, regulations will be changed to increase trade efficiency, lower trade costs and digitalize Customs procedures related to cross-border trade.” 

Another highlight is a push to increase openness in the financial sector. The guidelines are expected to assist Shanghai in putting regulations in place that are similar to those in the world’s most open markets.

方案的另一个亮点是推动金融业的进一步开放。该方案有望使上海自贸区全面对接国际高标准经贸规则。

Zhu Min, Director of Shanghai Commission of Commerce

朱民上海市商务委员会主任

“拓宽数字金融服务在国际经贸往来中的应用场景，主要是加强前沿技术在电子支付、跨境资产管理等领域的具体运用。通过优化跨国公司跨境资金、集中运营管理政策，提升自由贸易账户系统功能，进一步优化上海总部经济跨境投融资服务水平。”

“Digital financial services will have wider applications in international economic exchanges, in areas including electronic payment and cross-border asset management. We’ll optimize policies that govern cross-border capital of multi-national corporations, and elevate the ability for corporate headquarters to invest and finance across the border.”

Once the guidelines have been implemented【执行】, officials say they believe Shanghai will begin to attract more foreign financial institutions.

官方表示，一旦方案得以实施，相信上海将开始吸引更多的外国金融机构。

2.SHANGHAI FORECAST SHOWING RAIN FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY

出行记得带伞！上海天气预报显示将迎来降雨

It was warm and sunny in Shanghai today with daytime highs reaching 21 degrees at the Xujiahui Meteorological【气象学的】Station.

今天（12/08）上海天气晴暖，徐家汇气象站白天最高气温达到21摄氏度。

The western suburbs were even warmer today, with a station in Qingpu registering a high 23.6 degrees in the early afternoon. Forecasters say the warm and sunny weather will continue tomorrow, but cloudier skies and rain is expected on Sunday and Monday, ahead of a cold front. The cooler air behind the front will push temperatures down to a high of only 11 degrees on Tuesday, before climbing back in the neighborhood of the low 20s by the end of the week.

今日西郊地区气温更为温暖，青浦一气象站在下午早些时候记录到23.6摄氏度的高温。气象学家表示，明天将继续保持晴朗温暖的天气，但在周日和下周一，在冷锋来临之前，预计会出现多云和降雨天气。冷锋后的冷空气将导致周二最高气温降至11摄氏度，然后在本周末回升至20摄氏度左右。

Deputy Prime of Singapore Minister Lawrence Wong said China and Singapore will work out the implementation details of the 30-day mutual visa exemption agreement early next year. Wong made the announcement at the 19th meeting of the China-Singapore Joint Council for Bilateral Cooperation in Tianjin today. Since the second half of this year, countries including Thailand, Sri Lanka and Malaysia granted visa-free travel for Chinese citizens. China granted visa-free entry for travelers holding ordinary passports of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia starting this month.

这种超低辐射环境对试图探测和研究暗物质的科学家来说至关重要。

10 research teams from a slew of universities including Tsinghua and Shanghai Jiao Tong have already moved in. 

来自清华大学和上海交通大学等多所大学的10个研究团队已经进驻。

The facility provides excellent conditions for experiments on the study of dark matter, the measurement of neutrinos and research in nuclear astrophysics. In addition, it can also help researchers that study Deep Earth physics. This could become a world-class multi-disciplinary research center. 

该设施为暗物质研究、中微子测量和核天体物理学研究的实验提供了良好的条件。此外，它还可以帮助研究地球深处物理的研究人员。这将成为世界级的多学科研究中心。

The first phase of the project opened in 2010, multiple achievements in dark matter research were made by Chinese scientist working in the underground lab. Phase 2, which officially opened today, is part of China's 14th Five-Year Plan, and is almost 80 times the size of the phase 1, providing researchers with more than enough lab space to take their experiments to the next level.

该项目的第一阶段于2010年启动，在地下实验室工作的中国科学家在暗物质研究方面取得了多项成就。第二阶段于今天正式启动，是中国“十四五”规划的一部分，几乎是第一阶段的80倍，为研究人员提供了足够的实验室空间，将他们的实验提升到一个新的水平。

3. A-SHARES REMAIN MIRED BELOW KEY LEVELS

A股仍深陷关键水平以下的泥潭

Chinese mainland investors today shrugged off news of another Moody's credit outlook cut, this time for the country's banks. Timothy Pope has a rundown of the trading action.

中国内地投资者今天对穆迪再次下调信贷前景的消息不屑一顾，这次下调的是中国的银行。记者Timothy Pope简要介绍了交易行为。

China's A-share market remained tepid today despite the news of November's export growth. The figures were a big turn-around from October and beat most estimates, but didn't prompt a turn-around for the stock markets. The Shanghai Composite closed less than a tenth of one percent lower, seemingly stuck below the key 3000 point level. Likewise the Shenzhen Component remains below its psychologically important 10 thousand point mark.

尽管有11月出口增长的消息，中国A股市场今天仍然不温不火。这些数据与10月份相比有了很大的转变，超出了大多数人的预期，但并没有促使股市出现转变。上证综合指数收盘下跌不到0.1%，似乎一直徘徊在关键的3000点以下。同样，深圳板块仍低于其心理上重要的1万点大关。

The Chinese Ministry of Finance's announcement late yesterday of draft rules that would allow the huge National Social Security Fund more leeway in its stock market investments, and be allowed to invest in stock futures, should have given a boost to sentiment. The pension fund has more than 400 billion US dollars worth of assets under management, and the changes would allow it to allocate as much as 40 percent of that to stocks. But these are still just proposals open to market feedback until early January.

中国财政部昨天晚些时候宣布的规则草案将允许庞大的国家社会保障基金在股市投资中有更多的回旋余地，并允许投资股票期货，这本应提振市场情绪。该养老基金管理着价值4000多亿美元的资产，这些变化将使其能够将其中40%的资产分配给股票。但在1月初之前，这些仍只是向市场反馈的建议。

And ratings agency Moody's either cut the outlook for, or put downgrade warnings on, more Chinese state-owned companies - including banks and insurers - late yesterday. But mainland investors didn't seem too concerned. ICBC, Agricultural Bank of China and Bank of China all rose, as did many insurance firms.

评级机构穆迪昨日晚些时候下调了包括银行和保险公司在内的更多中国国有企业的前景，或对其发出降级警告。但大陆投资者似乎并不太担心。中国工商银行、中国农业银行和中国银行都上涨了，许多保险公司也上涨了。

Several of the most well known Chinese companies, which are listed in Hong Kong, had their outlooks changed to negative by Moody's yesterday. That dragged the Hang Seng 0.7 percent lower.

穆迪昨日将在香港上市的几家最知名的中国公司的前景改为负面。这拖累恒生指数下跌0.7%。

Alibaba was one of the firms which had its outlook downgraded to negative. Its shares sank to a 13 month low this morning once investors got a chance to react to the news, but recovered some of that ground during the session and ended 0.6 percent lower. It was a similar story for Tencent, China Mobile, CNOOC, and Dongfeng Motor.

阿里巴巴是前景被下调为负面的公司之一。一旦投资者有机会对这一消息做出反应，其股价今天上午跌至13个月低点，但在交易日收复了部分失地，收盘下跌0.6%。腾讯、中国移动、中海油和东风汽车的情况也类似。

EV maker NIO managed to lock in another session of gains though after reports that the firm is considering spinning off its battery business. NIO has been talking a lot lately about cutting costs, trying to bring more manufacturing in-house and improving efficiency in order to get the company making a profit. Its stock added 2.1 percent.

电动汽车制造商蔚来设法锁定了另一个交易日的涨幅，尽管此前有报道称该公司正在考虑剥离其电池业务。蔚来最近一直在谈论削减成本，试图引入更多的内部制造，提高效率，以使公司盈利。其股价上涨2.1%。

Tokyo's Nikkei 225 retreated in the shadow of upcoming US jobs data. The markets will be watching that data for clues as to when the US Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates. According to market watchers, there just weren't many excuses for investors to buy, especially after a poor session on Wall Street overnight and the Nikkei shed 1.8 percent.

在即将公布的美国就业数据的阴影下，日经225指数下跌。市场将关注这些数据，以寻找美联储何时开始降息的线索。据市场观察人士称，投资者没有太多理由购买，尤其是在华尔街隔夜表现不佳，日经指数下跌1.8%之后。

Energy companies took the biggest hit after crude oil prices sank to six month lows. They rebounded off that a little bit today, but it was too late for refiner Eneos' shares, which lost 2.3 percent, and extractor Inpex, which shed almost 3 percent.

在原油价格跌至六个月低点后，能源公司受到的打击最大。他们今天略有反弹，但炼油商Eneos的股价下跌2.3%，采掘商Inpex的股价下跌近3%，为时已晚。

1. CHINA ACHIEVES SOLID ECONOMIC GROWTH：NDRC

国家发改委：有信心更有能力实现经济长期稳定发展

China's top economic planner said today that China's economy has shown strong resilience【恢复力】during the year. And the long-term positive fundamentals of the country's economy have not changed.

The National Development and Reform Commission said that China's economic recovery is a "wave-like" and tortuous【曲折的】 process. It reported that in the first three quarters of 2023, China's GDP grew by 5.2 percent year-on-year, the conusmer inflation during the first ten months edged up by 0.4 percent. The NDRC also added that the economy will further recover in the fourth quarter and contribute more than 30 percent of global growth this year.

国家发改委今天（12/06）表示，中国经济在今年表现出强劲的韧性。中国经济长期向好的基本面没有改变。

国家发改委还表示，中国经济复苏是一个“波浪式”的曲折过程。据报道，2023年前三季度，中国国内生产总值同比增长5.2%，前10个月的消费膨胀率小幅上升0.4%。国家发改委补充说，经济将在第四季度进一步复苏，今年对全球经济增长的贡献将超过30%。

2. WORLD'S FIRST 4TH-GENERATION NUCLEAR POWER PLANT BEGINS OPERATION IN CHINA

全球首座第四代核电站商运投产

The Shidaowan high-temperature, gas-cooled nuclear power plant, officially went into commercial operation in Rongcheng County, Shandong Province today.

山东荣成的华能石岛湾高温气冷堆核电站于今日（12/06）正式投入商业运行。

The facility is considered to be the world's first fourth generation nuclear power plant. The technology behind it was developed domestically by the China Hua'neng Group, Tsinghua University and China National Nuclear Corporation. The power plant has an installed capacity of 200,000 kilowatts. After passing a 168-hour stable operation test, the project was officially put into commercial operation to continuously deliver clean and stable power to the grid【网格】. 

该核电站被认为是世界上第一座第四代核电站，由中国华能集团、清华大学和中国核工业集团公司共同开发。电站装机容量为20万千瓦。在通过168小时稳定运行测试后，该项目正式投入商业运营，持续向电网输送清洁稳定的电力。

3. GOLD PRICE REACHES NEW HIGH, AFFECTED BY US ECONOMIC SENTIMENT

美国经济数据糟糕 黄金价格屡创新高

Prices of gold futures set new record this Monday at exchanges around the world, driving retail gold prices to a new highs as well. That's dampening the usual consumption surge at the end of the year, as Lei Shuran reports...

本周一，黄金期货价格在全球交易所创下新纪录，带动黄金零售价格也创下新高，这抑制了年底通常会出现的消费激增，记者雷舒然带来报道。

In-store records show that since the beginning of September, the price of gold has been above 600 yuan per gram. In November, the price was again on the upswing, and this week it reached a new high of 627 yuan per gram. Many customers who had planned to buy large quantities of gold jewelry have changed their minds. 

店内记录显示，自9月初以来，黄金价格一直在每克600元以上。进入11月，金价再次上扬，本周更是创下了每克627元的新高。许多原本计划大量购买黄金首饰的顾客改变了主意。

上海市民

“I'm planning to buy only 50 to 60 grams. The price has risen to more than 600 yuan per gram, it's too high.”

“准备买五六十克的吧 现在600多（元一克）了 太厉害了”

Experts say that gold prices may rise further on a possible slowdown in the US economy as well as anticipated US rate cuts early next year, which could pave the way for an upward trend in gold prices and gold-related equities. Spot gold crossed 2,100 dollars per ounce to hit a record high in early Asian trade on Monday, and stood above 2,000 dollars per ounce today. 

专家称，由于美国经济可能放缓，以及预计明年初美国降息，金价可能会进一步上涨，这可能会为金价和黄金相关股票的上涨趋势铺平道路。周一亚洲市场早盘，现货黄金突破每盎司2100美元，创下历史新高，今天又突破每盎司2000美元。

Liu Shiyao, Researcher ZJTF Futures Research Institute

刘诗瑶紫金天风期货研究所贵金属研究员

“Monday's sharp rise was also a continuation of last week's negative view about the U.S. market. Excessive pessimism【悲观】 about the U.S. economy caused gold prices to reach new highs.”

“周一的大幅度上涨也是延续了上周 对于（美国）市场相当悲观的这样一个情形 对于美国经济的过于悲观 使得金价达到了新高”

Despite the price rises, experts believe that gold demand will continue to increase in China as economic and geopolitical uncertainties may drive up purchases of safe-haven assets.   

尽管价格上涨，但专家认为，中国的黄金需求将继续增加，因为经济和地缘政治的不确定性可能会推动人们购买避险资产。

2023电竞上海大师赛于上周五开幕。本台记者张诗旋在现场带来更多报道。

Zeng Zhuojun is the first champion of this year's event.

曾卓君是本届赛事的首位冠军。

It's been more than 2 decades since he won his first competition. And the past few years have witnessed explosive growth in E-sports, from game development and the number of players to the organization of international events.

从他赢得第一次比赛到现在，已经过去了二十多年。在过去的几年里，从游戏开发、玩家数量到国际赛事的组织，电子竞技都取得了爆炸式的增长。

Zeng Zhuojun, Player /// Street Fighter

曾卓君 街头霸王选手

“The development of E-sports requires players of different games. It's not enough to have just a single combat game. We now also have League of Legends and Honor of Kings. Players have been getting global attention, and more people are watching the games. The audience numbers are comparable to that of basketball and football matches. I'm very proud of that. As other games are thriving, e-sports have been gaining more recognition.”

“我觉得离不开各位电竞选手在每一个项目的努力，单单我一个格斗项目我觉得也不行，现在有英雄联盟、吃鸡，然后各种的世界冠军在国际的舞台发扬光大，这个也确实很多人看，甚至可以跟篮球、足球这种大项目对比一下人数，我觉得这是个很骄傲的事情。也因为其他的电竞在崛起了，在国际舞台也取得成绩，所以电子竞技越来越被重视。”

The five-day event includes competitions for four games -- League of Legends, Honor of Kings, DOTA2 and Identity -- as well as one exhibition Street Fighter event. Some of these also had their own events in the Asian Games for the first time this year.

为期五天的比赛包括《英雄联盟》、《王者荣耀》、《DOTA2》和《Identity》四款游戏的比赛，以及一场《街头霸王》表演赛。其中一些电竞游戏还在今年的亚运会上首次举办了自己的赛事。

Zhu Qinqin, Secretary General Shanghai E-sports Association

朱沁沁 上海电子竞技运动协会的秘书长

“Esports development has met some bottlenecks【瓶颈】 during the past 2 years. But especially after the Asian Games this year, people have required a new model for a tournament held by a third party organizer. So the Esports Shanghai Masters held by the government can be a sample for that. We can introduce our Shanghai Model. And we are still looking for better ways to combine the government and industry associations with businesses.”

“近两年，电竞发展遇到了一些瓶颈。但尤其是在今年亚运会之后，人们需要一种新的由第三方主办的赛事模式。因此，由政府举办的电竞上海大师赛可以成为一个样本。我们可以引进我们的 "上海模式"。我们还在寻找更好的方式，把政府、行业协会和企业结合起来。”

The annual Esports Shanghai Masters was first held in 2019. It is the first comprehensive esports tournament in China that has been named after a city, and organized by the government.

一年一度的电竞上海大师赛于2019年首次举办。这是中国首个以城市命名、由政府主办的综合性电竞赛事。

If you wanna come to China, no matter you’re in Germany or France, you first have the get an invitation letter and then you have to fill the online forms, schedule time, then you have to spend half day go to the consulate for face-to-face interview. So that takes a lot of effort. Now it’s so convenient. You can just make your travel decision anytime, then buy your ticket, then come to China. Especially for our colleagues in other countries, it’s very important for them to have a face-to-face meeting not only with the colleagues in China, but also to visit client in China as well. So, they can have the first-hand information and also have a more direct feelings about how China economy is improving after pandemic. For Roland Berger, China market is always one of the most important countries around the globe. And sometimes we even have our global training and also global seminar held in Shanghai and Beijing. So global colleagues come to here as well to see the first-hand information about the new situation in China.”

That is very important even though we are also developing the local expertise for all the know-hows for our product and for our applications. But in our headquarter we do have more experts they have more experience so the support from headquarter is very important for our success in China market. So we do need more and more efficient communication from our headquarter to have more and stronger support to grow our business in China.”

“我和一些德国同事聊过，他们也很兴奋，也认为这是一个非常好的改变，一个非常好的政策，利于总部和中国分公司之间更好地沟通。这一点非常重要，尽管我们也在为我们的产品和应用开发本地的专业技术知识。但是，在我们的总部，我们有更多的专家，他们有更多的经验，因此总部的支持对我们在中国市场取得成功非常重要。因此，我们确实需要与总部进行更多更有效的沟通，以获得更多更有力的支持，从而发展我们在中国的业务。”
