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

    1. CHINA-U.S. DIRECT FLIGHTS SET TO REACH 70 PER WEEK

    中美直飞客运航班量将增至每周70班

    The number of direct flights between China and the United States has been climbing since the beginning of this year. Last night, Air China became the first domestic carrier【载体】to operate a direct flight from Beijing to San Francisco since the two countries announced a flight increase effective November 9th. Sun Siqi has more. 

    自今年年初以来,中美之间的直航航班数量一直在攀升。昨晚,中国国际航空公司成为自两国宣布自11月9日起增加航班以来首家开通北京至旧金山直飞航班的国内航空公司。记者孙思奇带来报道。

    The Air China flight departed from Beijing with more than 200 passengers. 

    国航航班从北京起飞,载有200多名乘客。

    The flight increase followed previous agreements to increase passenger flights. The total number of round-trip flights per week has climbed from 18 in January to 24 in May and then to 48 in October. As of November 9th, the weekly flight number cap has been increased to 70. 

    在此之前,国航已就增加客运航班达成了协议。每周往返航班总数从1月份的18个增加到5月份的24个,10月份又增加到48个。截至11月9日,每周航班数量上限已增至70 个。

    And ticket prices have decreased -- a round-trip ticket from Shanghai to Los Angeles has dropped from up to 15,000 yuan in January to 7,000 yuan or less. 

    机票价格也有所下降--从上海到洛杉矶的往返机票已从1月份的高15,000元降7,000元或更低。

    Qin Ling Aviation Correspondent

    秦岭 航空领域资深评论员

    “Before the pandemic, total flights between China and the United States was about 300 per week. So there's still significant room for more. ”

    “在2019年就是疫情之前,中美之间每周的航班量其实是最多的时候达到每周300班,那么现在其实即使恢复到70班这么一个数据,其实需求的这个差距还是很大的。”

    At the same time, flights to other countries have also been increasing. The Civil Aviation Administration said in the upcoming winter-spring season, 116 carriers have received approval to operate 13,000 weekly flights to 65 countries, which is roughly 70 percent of the total in the same period in 2019. 

    与此同时,飞往其他国家的航班也在不断增加。民航局表示,在即将到来的冬春航季,116家航空公司已获准每周运营1.3万个航班,飞往65个国家,约占2019年同期总数的70%。

    Between October 16th and 22nd, more than 3,800 international passenger flights were carried out, which is more than 50 percent of the pre-pandemic level. Flight numbers to 22 countries including the United Kingdom, Italy and the UAE have approached or even exceeded pre-pandemic levels. 

    10月16日至22日期间,共执行了3800多个国际客运航班,超过疫情前水平的50%。飞往英国、意大利和阿联酋等22个国家的航班数量已接近甚至超过疫情发生前的水平。

    2. ELECTRIC eVTOL AIRCRAFT COMPLETE CHINA TEST FLIGHTS

    中国首个倾旋旋翼电动飞机实现首飞

    An electric vertical take-off and landing air-craft, or e-VTOL inde'pendently developed by a Chinese start-up has just completed its first round of flight tests. As Lei Shuran reports, it is China's first tilt-rotor elec'tric passenger air-plane.

    电动垂直起降飞机,或称e-VTOL,由中国一家初创企业独立研发,刚刚完成了第一轮飞行测试。据记者雷舒然报道,这是中国第一架倾转旋翼电动飞机。

    Its rotors begin turning, and the little plane is off the ground in seconds - no runway needed.  It can operate from just about anywhere.

    As the first domestic company to make a breakthrough in tilt-rotor technology for eVTOLs, TCab's E20 electric aircraft weighs about 2.4 tons and is more like a bus shuttling【往返运送】between destinations. 

    它的旋翼开始转动,小飞机在几秒钟内离开地面——不需要跑道。它几乎可以在任何地方操作。

    作为国内第一家在eVTOL 倾斜旋翼技术上取得突破的企业,TCab的E20电动飞机重约2.4吨,更像是一辆穿梭于目的地之间的公共汽车。

    YON WUI NG, Founder & CEO /// Shanghai TCab Technology

    黄雍威 上海时的科技有限公司创始人&首席执行官

    “If you think about ride sharing business, we can see that for 20 km or below, is mainly using taxi. However, for something between 20 and 50 km as we see the city expands, we are gonna be requiring different ways for transportation. In China, we are gonna be hitting maybe 10 million size of population, almost 20 or 30 cities is going to be hitting this population. ”

    “如果你考虑拼车业务,我们可以看到,对于20公里或以下,主要是使用出租车。然而,在20到50公里的范围内,随着城市的扩张,我们将需要不同的交通方式。在中国,我们将达到1000万的人口规模,大约有20到30个城市将达到这个人口规模。”

    The TCab E20 can carry a pilot and up to four passengers, has a payload of 450 kilograms, a cruising speed of 260 kilometers per hour and a top speed of 320. That's five times faster than a taxi, and of course it won't have to stop for the lights. In the future, it could address the demand for short-distance air travel within and between cities.

    TCab E20可搭载一名飞行员和最多四名乘客,有效载荷为450公斤,巡航速度为每小时260公里,最高时速为320公里。这比出租车快五倍,当然,它不必因为红灯而停下来。未来,它可以满足城市内部和城市之间短途航空旅行的需求。

    TCab Technology is not the only Chinese firm in the field, despite the higher security and performance requirements of carrying human passengers. Another startup Vertaxi has also just completed the first test flight of its two-ton eVTOL. The model will be unveiled to the public at the upcoming CIIE in Shanghai.

    尽管搭载人类乘客的安全性和性能要求更高,但TCab科技并不是该领域唯一的中国公司。另一家初创企业上海御风未来航空科技有限公司也刚刚完成了其两吨eVTOL的首次试飞。该模型将在上海举行的中国国际进口博览会上向公众展示。

    The technology is applicable to more than just a taxi service, and has attracted international interest. Just last month, AutoFlight released its world's first firefighting eVTOL. With more than 95 percent of its components made domestically, a stable supply chain has been an important part of the company's success. 

    这项技术不仅适用于出租车服务,还引起了国际社会的兴趣。就在上个月,AutoFlight发布了世界上第一个消防eVTOL。该公司95%以上的零部件都是在国内制造的,稳定的供应链是该公司成功的重要组成部分。

    Xie Jia, Senior Vice President /// Autoflight Aviation Technology

    谢嘉 上海峰飞航空科技有限公司高级副总裁

    “The Yangtze Delta area, actually this capacity for the supply chain has been really helpful. And then because we have lots of small components that we can easily get access from the other companies surrounding in this area. Now because the border is open, so we have many plans to go out and visit them. We are targeting Eastern Europe, West Europe and then also US market as well. We're going to have a large existence in the US market.”

    “在长三角地区,这种供应链能力真的很有帮助。然后因为我们有很多小部件我们可以很容易地从这个地区的其他公司获得。现在因为边境是开放的,所以我们有很多计划去拜访他们。我们的目标是东欧、西欧以及美国市场。我们将在美国市场占有很大的份额。”

    On October 10th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and four other departments jointly released an outline for the development of China's green aviation【航空】 manufacturing, putting forward a clear timetable. By 2025, there will be electric airplanes in commercial use, there will be eVTOL trial flights, and a feasibility study into hydrogen【氢】 powered airplanes will be completed. That's got some investors excited. 

    10月10日,工业和信息化部等四部门联合发布了《中国绿色航空制造发展纲要》,提出了明确的时间表。到2025年,将有商业用途的电动飞机,将进行eVTOL试飞,并完成氢动力飞机的可行性研究。这让一些投资者感到兴奋。

    Warren Zhou, Senior Investment Manager /// Decent Capital

    周华林 德迅投资投资总监

    “We believe there is bigger market in China since we have bigger population. So we think eVTOL will have great opportunity in China in the next 5 to 10 years, there will be 8 or 10 thousand eVTOL in the market. ”

    “我们相信中国有更大的市场,因为我们有更多的人口。所以我们认为未来5到10年eVTOL在中国会有很大的机会,市场上会有8到1万辆eVTOL。”

    Also last month the world's first eVTOL route was launched between city of Shenzhen and Zhuhai. It takes 30 minutes for a round-trip, with a total flight distance of more than 80 kilometers. Countries such as France, Japan and the US have also joined the trend, with vertiports and flight route networks under construction.

    同样在上个月,世界上第一条eVTOL航线在深圳和珠海之间开通。往返需要30分钟,总飞行距离超过80公里。法国、日本和美国等国家也加入了这一趋势,正在建设垂直机场和航线网络。

    1. XUELONG 2 RESCUES FISHING BOAT IN SOUTHWESTERN PACIFIC OCEAN

    雪龙2号赤道33小时成功救援落难外国渔船

    The icebreaker Xuelong 2 rescued a fishing boat and its four crew members in the open ocean near the equator【赤道】on Saturday while on route to Antarctica on another research expedition. Sun Siqi has more.

    周六,雪龙2号破冰船在前往南极洲进行科考的途中,在赤道附近的公海救起了一艘渔船及其四名船员。记者孙思奇带来更多报道。

    Officers on the icebreaker heard a distress signal from a fishing boat in the waters off Papua New Guinea and went to its rescue. The four on board were fishermen from Papua New Guinea. Their boat had been adrift for nearly nine hours after running out of fuel and electricity.

    破冰船上的人员听到巴布亚新几内亚附近海域一艘渔船发出的求救信号后前往救援。船上四人是来自巴布亚新几内亚的渔民。他们的渔船在燃料和电力耗尽后漂流了近九个小时。

    肖志民 "雪龙2"号船长

    “Both their high-frequency telecommunication and automatic identification systems were not functioning. So, the boat seemingly lost power. Rescuing people is a legal obligation. We must rescue them.”

    “因为他现在高频也不能用 AIS自动识别系统也找不到 所以他们现在应该是没电的状态 救援这是法定义务 我们救是必须救的”

    The expedition team aboard Xuelong 2 offered the fishermen food and diesel fuel, charged their batteries, and contacted the China Maritime Search and Rescue Center, Papua New Guinea Maritime Rescue Coordination Center and the families of the crew members. As there were no local rescue ships available, the team decided to lift the boat aboard the icebreaker and take it to designated waters. After 33 hours, the stranded fishing boat and its crew were brought to a rendezvous【会合】 point safely and handed over to a waiting local vessel on Saturday. China's 40th Antarctic expedition team set sail from Shanghai on November 1st, starting a mission expected to last over five months. The expedition also includes Xuelong 1 and a cargo vessel.

    雪龙2号的考察队员为渔民提供了食物和柴油,为他们的电池充电,并联系了中国海上搜救中心、巴布亚新几内亚海上救援协调中心和船员家属。由于当地没有救援船只,救援队决定将渔船吊上破冰船,送往指定水域。33个小时后,获救渔船及其船员被安全送达会合点,并于周六移交给等待的当地船只。中国第40次南极考察队于11月1日从上海起航,开始了为期5个多月的考察任务。考察队还包括雪龙1号和一艘货船。

    “I would say it's a fusion of styles because I'm from the flamingo background and we have a member who plays cello, and he brings a classic style. We also have one who plays percussion and it's more African-Brazilian culture. Also we have a dancer, a flamingo dancer who's from Mexico and she does a contemporary dance that builds on the whole show. So everyone is playing a different style and it's definitely fusion【融合】. It's world music.”

    “这是风格的融合,因为有火烈鸟的背景,我们有一位成员拉大提琴,带来的是古典风格。还有一位演奏打击乐的成员,他带来的是非洲-巴西文化。此外,来自墨西哥的火烈鸟舞者跳了一段现代舞,为整场演出奠定了基础。因此,每个人都在演奏不同的风格,这绝对是一种融合。这是世界性音乐。”

    “I felt the passion of this flamenco guitar, which has an exotic charm. It seems like I saw the seaside. It's very special.” 

    “感受到了这个弗拉明戈吉他的热情的感觉,就很有异域的腔调。好像看到了海边,然后感受到了夏天的感觉,就是很不一样,很特别。”

    “I usually listen to music at home, and this is the first time I have seen a live jazz performance. The enthusiasm of the musicians, including the dancer, is very infectious.”

    3.ASIAN STOCK MARKETS RISE AHEAD OF XI-BIDEN MEETING

    中美元首会晤前亚洲股市上涨

    Asian stock markets started off the week looking stronger. Timothy Pope has a look at the trading action around the region.

    本周伊始,亚洲股市表现强劲。记者Timothy Pope对该地区的交易情况进行了分析。

    Chinese mainland markets managed to lock in gains today as investors reacted positively to the news of a meeting this week between President Xi Jinping and his US counterpart Joe Biden in San Francisco. The Shanghai Composite Index added a quarter of one percent. The Shenzhen Component added only a tenth of one percent.

    由于投资者们对国家主席习近平和美国总统拜登本周将在旧金山会晤的消息反应积极,中国内地股市今日涨幅明显。上证指数上涨了0.25%。深证成指上涨了0.1%。

    Financial stocks were hogging the spotlight today. ICBC shares sank, and then pared losses in the wake of the ransomware【勒索软件】attack on its US trading unit, which left it owing Bank of New York Mellon 9 billion US dollars for un-settled trades. The attack was reportedly so severe that staff were locked out of everything including their email accounts. ICBC has injected capital into its US unit it order to help pay BNY Mellon, and hired cybersecurity experts. Its shares ended the day down a little under half of one percent.

    金融股成为今日焦点。中国工商银行股价先是下跌,后因其美国的交易部门遭受勒索软件攻击而收窄跌幅,该公司因未结算交易而拖欠纽约梅隆银行90亿美元。据报道,这次攻击非常严重,员工包括电子邮件账户在内的一切都被锁定,无法使用。中国工商银行向其美国部门注资,以帮助支付纽约梅隆银行,并聘请了网络安全专家。工行股价在当天收盘时下跌了不到0.5%。

    China Galaxy Securities was also a headline stock after it dismissed market rumours it was going to merge with China International Capital Corporation. The company said neither of its controlling shareholders have plans to merge the brokerage【经纪业务】 with CICC, one of China's top investment banks. Galaxy Securities shares fell more than 3 percent after the announcement, but managed to recover late in the session to close fractionally higher.

    中国银河证券在驳斥了市场关于其将与中国国际金融有限公司合并的传言后,也成为头条股。该公司表示,其控股股东都没有将该券商与中国顶级投资银行之一的中金公司合并的计划。公告发布后,银河证券股价下跌超过3%,但在尾盘有所回升,收盘小幅上涨。

    Hong Kong's markets had a rollercoaster session with a strong opening, losses at lunchtime, and then the Hand Seng closing 1.3 percent higher. Optimism over the Chinese and US Presidents' meeting was also at play here. So was a strong close for Wall Street on Friday with the Nasdaq posted its biggest one-day gain since late May.

    香港市场经历了过山车式的交易时段,开盘时表现强劲,午盘时有所回落,随后恒生指数收盘上涨1.3%。中美两国总统会晤的乐观情绪也在此发挥作用,华尔街周五收盘也表现强劲,纳斯达克指数创下5月底以来最大单日涨幅。

    That pushed Hong Kong tech stocks higher. Baidu gained 3.3 percent. E-commerce giant Alibaba was up 1.3 percent despite a lacklustre Double 11 shopping festival this year.

    这推动了香港科技股走高。百度上涨了3.3%。电子商务巨头阿里巴巴上涨了1.3%,尽管今年的双十一购物节乏善可陈。

    And Country Garden stocks fell after Fitch said this morning that it will withdraw all its ratings for the real estate developer's property services unit for commercial reasons. Last week Fitch downgraded those ratings and put Country Garden Services on a negative watch list. Both the unit and the developer's stocks lost more than 1 percent today.

    碧桂园股票下跌,因为惠誉今早表示,出于商业原因,将撤销对该房地产开发商旗下物业服务部门的所有评级。惠誉上周下调了碧桂园物业服务的评级,并将其列入负面观察名单。今天,碧桂园服务和开发商的股票都下跌了1%以上。

    And in Japan the Nikkei 225 retreated from early gains to close flat, although Tokyo tech stocks were also mirroring gains on the Nasdaq.

    在日本,尽管东京科技股也反映了纳斯达克指数的涨势,日经225从早盘的涨势中回落,收盘持平。

    Cosmetics company Shiseido was the biggest drag on the markets -- shedding more than 14 percent after the firm made significant cuts to its annual profit forecasts.

    化妆品公司资生堂是拖累市场的最大因素--在该公司大幅下调年度利润预期后,其股票下跌超过14%。

    NEWS ON 11/10

    1ST MADE-IN-CHINA CRUISE SHIP PROVES COMMERCIAL SUCCESS

    首艘国产大型邮轮“爱达·魔都号”双十一受热捧

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

    Early this month, China's shipbuilding industry marked a new milestone - the delivery of first domestically-built large cruise ship. And if this year's Double Eleven shopping festial is anything to go by, the vessel is set to be a commercial success. As Zhang Shixuan reports, a special livestream was held to sell cruise tickets, and it yielded one quite surprising result.

    本月初,中国造船业迎来了一个新的里程碑——首艘国产大型邮轮交付。要和今年双十一关联起来的话,那就是这艘邮轮取得了商业上的成功。据记者张诗旋的报道,为销售邮轮船票,企业举行了一场特别的现场直播,并取得了令人惊喜的结果。

    Nearly 3,000 rooms were handed over to the crew in batches

    More than 70 kitchens of different functions.

    And more than 50 refrigerated【使冷却】units.

    To spread our culture, and bring our achievements out.

    将近三千间房间向船员开放

    超70几间不同功能的厨房和50几个大小的冷库

    把我们的文化和成就带出去

    In less than 2 months, this ship will begin its first commercial journey, which means it will become a home away from home for its first batch of passengers, a place where they can relax, eat and be entertained. All inside this large vessel!

    在不到两个月的时间里,这艘邮轮将开始其首次商业航行,这意味着它将成为首批乘客的居所,一个可以放松、用餐和娱乐的地方。一切都在这艘邮轮里!

    There are almost 10 dining places, where passengers can enjoy a buffet, western cuisine and some special Chinese-style food - like hot pot!

    这里有将近10个餐饮场所,乘客可以在这里享用自助餐、西餐和一些特色中餐——比如火锅!

    People can even play Mahjong here.

    人们甚至可以在这里打麻将。

    Chen Jianwei, General Manager Assistant

    陈剑威 大型邮轮项目建造总监、外高桥造船总经理助理兼邮轮项目部部长

    “It's entertainment favored by Chinese people. For example, the theater on the ship is cooperating with Mahua Fun Age, tailored to Chinese people's interests.”

    “这些是中国人喜欢的娱乐方式。比如,邮轮的剧场与开心麻花合作,针对中国人的兴趣爱好量身定制。"

    The trimmings【装饰材料】on board the ship will certainly be familiar to locals, but this vessel's interior designer believes it'll be popular with people, even if they aren't familiar with traditional Chinese culture and style.

    邮轮上的装饰肯定是当地人所熟悉的,但这艘邮轮的室内设计师认为,即使不熟悉中国传统文化和风格的人也会喜欢。

    “European and US people, basically, the old ships is a little bit like same. We don't have hot pot in the European ships. So, it's small things they are anxious to see - what is the cabin, how it looks like, the design, everything, because people have different opinions about the Chinese. They're so old then and historical country that everything look like.”

    “欧美的老式轮船有点像。欧洲邮轮上没有火锅。所以,他们急于看到的都是一些小东西——船舱是什么样的、外观、设计等等,因为人们对中国人有不同的看法。它是看起来是如此古老和历史悠久的国家。”

    Zhang Shixuan, Reporter

    张诗旋 本台记者

    China's first domestically built large cruise ship. 

    Let's put it right here...... 

    Where it's easy to see.

    中国首艘国产大型邮轮。

    把它放在这里...... 

    容易看到的地方。

    For the past decade, China has been a world leader in the shipbuilding industry. But cruise ships, are extremely complicated, so they weren't part of the original development of the industry in China. The segment is dominated by the western world. China has recently taken its first steps into building cruise ships, and it certainly won't be the last. It's a crystallization【结晶】 of the cooperation between companies from home and abroad - a process of learning and adapting.

    近十年来,中国造船业一直处于世界领先地位。但邮轮极为复杂,因此并不属于中国造船业最初的发展范畴。这一领域一直由西方国家主导。中国最近迈出了建造邮轮的第一步,当然这也不会是最后一步。这是国内外企业合作的结晶,是一个学习和适应的过程。

    “It has been amazing - the process, the different way how they work. And they have learned how we work in the Europe. It's like mixing the cultures together. For example we had a little bit steel issues in the beginning, and how fast they fix those - it was amazing see that, because in Finland, it's totally different.”

    “他们的工作过程和工作方式都令人惊叹。他们学到了我们在欧洲的工作方式。这就像把两种文化融合在一起。例如,一开始我们遇到了一些钢铁方面的问题,而他们解决这些问题的速度之快令人惊叹,与在芬兰是完全不同的。”

    Wu Xiaoyuan, Production Director 

    Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, CSSC

    吴晓源 大型邮轮项目界面总监、外高桥造船生产总监兼邮轮内装部部长

    “At the beginning of the project, we contacted almost all Chinese suppliers for luxury Ro-Ro passenger ships and Ro-Pax ships, gathering together to build this cruise ship with us. Chinese suppliers have been participating in all areas' construction. We have 30 to 40 local suppliers joining the ship's secondary project, management and construction. Major first-tier suppliers are from overseas - who directly signed contracts with us. By cooperating with these first-tier suppliers, local companies can more easily improve their project management capabilities. For the cruise ship's interior decorations, all things require project management - the 40,000-square-meter work area, the 40,000-square-meter cabin and the 10,000-square-meter kitchens and refrigerated areas.”

    “项目伊始,我们就联系了几乎所有的中国豪华客船和载人渡轮供应商,聚集在一起与我们共同建造这艘邮轮。中国供应商参与了所有领域的建造。我们有30到40家本地供应商参与了邮轮的二级项目、管理和建造。主要的一级供应商来自海外——他们直接与我们签订合同。通过与这些一级供应商合作,本地公司可以更容易地提高项目管理能力。对于邮轮的内部装饰——4万平方米的工作区、4万平方米的船舱以及1万平方米的厨房和冷藏区。”

    If the mega booking made during this year's Double Eleven Shopping Festival is anything to go by, the new vessel will be a commercial success. A single 20-million-yuan order was secured at a livestream on October 24th, booking the entire ship for a 5-day cruise.

    如果今年“双十一”购物节期间的超大型预订情况属实,那么这艘新邮轮将取得商业上的成功。在10月24日的现场直播中,一单就获得了2000万元的订单,预订了整艘邮轮为期 5天的航行。

    Gu Pengcheng, Board Secretary CSSC Cruise Technology Development

    顾鹏程 中船邮轮董事会秘书、战略管理部主任

    “It is very exciting to see the results from the sales parts. It's warmly welcomed by our Chinese customers, Chinese guests. They're excited about the first Chinese-built cruise. And we have decided that Adora Magic City is going to sail from Shanghai Jan. 1st next year. We're going to start from Shanghai for the 5-night journeys to South Korea and Japan. But it's within our radar that we're going to set those long itineraries【行程】that are going to go through the Maritime Silk Road - itineries to cover different countries. Recently we worked with Taobao and we participated in the Double Eleven event, which is a great success for us. Over 10 million viewers participated.”

    “看到销售部取得的成果,我感到非常兴奋。它受到了中国客户和中国客人的热烈欢迎。他们对第一艘中国制造的邮轮感到非常兴奋。我们已经决定,“爱达·魔都号”将于明年1月1日从上海启航。我们将从上海出发,进行为期5晚的韩国和日本之旅。不过,我们也在考虑制定穿越海上丝绸之路的长航线——覆盖不同国家的航线。最近,我们与淘宝合作,参加了双十一活动。超过1000万观众参与了活动。”

    “A new sector creates a new ecosystem of industrial supply chains, which in turn leads to more job opportunites and contriutes to the countries' overall economic growth. In Europe - one of the most developed cruise shipbuilding markets - almost quarter of jobs come from the suppliers in the manufacturing sector. But another question remains, Is anyone willing to buy a Large Cruise Ship built in China?”

    “新行业创造了新的工业供应链生态系统,反过来又带来了更多的就业机会,促进了国家的整体经济增长。在欧洲——最发达的邮轮制造市场之一——近四分之一的工作机会来自制造业的供应商。但另一个问题依然存在,是否有人愿意购买中国制造的大型邮轮?”

    “The global, you know, Caribbean, everybody from USA have been seen that one. Now they are heading in a Mediterranean Europe cruise soon. They want to come to Asia, China, Japan, whatever we have over here. Coastline of the China - how long is that one? How many ports? You have beautiful places, ancient history. So people want to come over here. If you keep doing these cruise ships, it will be like 5 or 10 years maybe when you get a little bit bigger market. If you can get it cheaper over here, if you can get it faster over here, they will come over here. In the future, (Chinese shipbuilders will become) one of the priorities.”

    “每个美国人都见过的皇家加勒比海游轮,现在,他们很快就要去欧洲地中海巡游了。他们想来亚洲、中国、日本。中国的海岸线有多长?有多少港口?中国有美丽的景点,古老的历史。所以人们想来这里。如果你们继续运营邮轮,也许5年或10年后,市场会更大。如果能在这里买到更便宜的邮轮,买到更快的邮轮,他们就会来这里。未来,(中国造船企业将成为)他们优先考虑的对象之一。”

    Zhang Shixuan, Reporter

    “Cheaper, faster and more advanced... The shipbuilders here seem well prepared. The second cruise ship is already under construction at the shipyard in Shanghai.”

    “更便宜、更快速、更先进... 这里的造船厂似乎早有准备。第二艘油轮已经在上海造船厂开工建造。”

    “For the first cruise ship, we have taken in some of the technology from abroad. And we also learned about some of their problems. So, when building the first ship, we have made many adjustments and modifications. For the second cruise ship, we can enhance efficiency by 20%. The second vessel has an added segment, and is 17 meters larger than the first. ”

    “对于第一艘邮轮,我们吸收了国外的一些技术。我们也了解了他们的一些问题。因此,在建造第一艘邮轮时,我们做了很多调整和修改。对于第二艘邮轮,我们可以提高20%效率。第二艘邮轮增加了一个舱段,比第一艘大17米。”

    “事实证明,中国的造船企业完全有能力建造大型邮轮。目前的预测显示,到2035年,邮轮经济的产值将达到5000亿元。您准备好启航了吗?”

    进博会:参展跨国企业盛赞中国发展

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

    1.CHINA’S CONSUMER INFLATION RETURNS TO NEGATIVE GROWTH

    10月CPI再度转负、PPI同比降幅扩大

    China’s consumer prices dropped for the second time this year, the National Bureau of Statistics reported today, while factory-gate prices declined at a faster pace.

    国家统计局今天(11/09)发布数据表明,全国居民消费价格指数(CPI)今年第二次转负,出厂价格降幅加快。

    Official data showed that China's consumer price index, a main gauge of inflation, dipped by 0.2 percent year-on-year in October, after a flat reading in September, marking the second decline this year. The statistics bureau attributed the decrease to an ample supply of food thanks to good weather and falling consumer demand after the combined Mid-Autumn and National Day holiday.

    官方数据显示,衡量通货膨胀的主要指标——全国居民消费价格指数继9月份持平后,10月份同比下降了0.2%,这是今年以来的第二次下降。国家统计局将CPI下降归因于天气晴好农产品供应充足、中秋国庆长假后消费需求回落等因素。

    Meanwhile, China's producer price index, which gauges【衡量】factory-gate prices, dropped 2.6 percent from a year ago last month, following a fall of 2.5 percent in the previous month. The statistics bureau said the international prices of crude oil and nonferrous metal fluctuated while last year’s high comparison base contributed to the wider PPI decline.

    与此同时,衡量出厂价格的工业生产者价格指数(PPI)继上月下降2.5%之后,又比去年同期下降了2.6%。国家统计局称,国际原油、有色金属价格波动及上年同期对比基数走高等因素是PPI降幅扩大的原因。

    2.MULTI-NATIONALS SPEAK HIGHLY OF CHINA'S DEVELOPMENT

    进博会:参展跨国企业盛赞中国发展

    It's been six years since the first China International Import Expo was held in Shanghai. And this year, the exhibition area is more than twice as big as it was at the first expo in 2018. CIIE has been continously luring【引诱】new exhibitors and retaining old partners. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan talked to several executives at multinational companies from different industries about their confidence in the market here.

    距首届中国国际进口博览会在上海举办已经六年了。今年的展览面积是2018年首届进博会的两倍多。进博会不断吸引着新的参展商,也留住了老伙伴。本报记者张诗旋采访了几位来自不同行业的跨国公司高管,了解他们对中国市场的信心。

    An exhibition area spanning more than 360,000 square meters, featuring 6 main sections - This is the 6th China International Import Expo. But it's the first for Adeline Franger Chouraqui, the Greater China CEO of the French shipping giant.

    展览面积超过 36 万平方米,设有 6 大展区——这是第六届中国国际进口博览会。但对于法国航运巨头大中华区首席执行官方艾琳( Adeline Franger Chouraqui )而言,这是第一次。

    “It is my first time visiting CIIE. I have been to many expos in other countries. And I have been most impressed with the dynamism. I went to the consumer goods area I went to the automobile area, high tech. We’re here in the trade service section.”

    “这是我第一次参加进博会。我在其他国家参加过许多博览会。这里的活力给我留下了深刻印象。我去了消费品区,汽车区,高科技区。我们在贸易服务展区。”

    “I understand that there are over 3,000 exhibitors from 150 countries. And I have been to many shows overseas in the past. And none of them had the scale and the variety that I have seen here at CIIE. So mostly impressed.”

    “据我所知,有来自 150 个国家的 3000 多家参展商。我过去参加过许多海外展会。但没有一个像中国进博会这样规模宏大、种类繁多,令人印象最为深刻。”

    “我们的液化天然气动力系船舶于2020年底从上海的造船厂驶出。这是一艘23000 TEU的船。这是我们最大的船,也是世界上最大的船之一。它们被部署投入在连接中国和北欧的航线。”

And so we value tremendously the exchanges between China and France and China and the world.”

    “Manufacturing, import, agricultural goods. I was just speaking to a customer before, and we can also see our partners in the port industry.”

    “制造业、进口、农产品。我之前刚刚与一位客户交谈过,我们也可以看到我们在港口行业的合作伙伴。”

    “I had a chance on November 6th to participate to the Pudong Forum and I was able to share our journey to decarbonization. So the level of the discussion was really high. We are taking concrete action to decarbonize【碳减排】our activity and how we can join the forces with our customers to decarbonize their transportation and their shipping and logistics activity.”

    11 月 6 日,我有幸参加了浦东论坛,并分享了我们(达飞集团)的去碳化历程。该论坛的讨论水平非常高。我们正在采取具体行动来实现活动的低碳化,以及如何与我们的客户联手实现他们的运输、航运和物流活动的低碳化。

    Green development is a topic under discussion almost everywhere across the exhibition area this year - as China has been an ideal place to develop new green solutions. German optical tech developer ZEISS, also attending its 6th CIIE, has been sharing successful case studies for localisation and innovation.

    绿色发展几乎是今年整个进博会都在讨论的话题——因为中国一直是开发新的绿色解决方案的理想之地。德国光学技术开发商蔡司也参加了第六届进博会,并分享了本土化和创新的成功案例。

We're talking about sustainability. If you look in sustainable power and energy, China is leading globally. If you look in new energy vehicles, China is leading globally. China is really becoming an innovation hub in industrial terms and also in research and development. So here we are entering a lot of cooperation with Chinese companies. Some of them are our customers where we are developing new applications for them, and even going globalism. Others are with smaller startup companies where we are investing or co-investing or actually taking over the distribution and integrating into our products.”

    “中国是卡尔蔡司集团最大的单一市场。我们清楚地看到中国的光明前景。中国正在与许多未来市场共同成长。我们正在谈论可持续发展。在可持续电力和能源方面,中国处于全球领先地位。在新能源汽车领域,中国也处于全球领先地位。在工业和研发方面,中国正真正成为创新中心。因此,我们正在与中国公司开展大量合作。其中一些是我们的客户,我们正在为他们开发新的应用,甚至走向全球化。还有一些是小型的创业公司,我们对其进行投资或联合投资,或实际接管其分销业务,并将其整合到我们的产品中。”

    Pharma giant Roche signed several agreeements during the expo with Chinese companies and associations to strengthen its local supply chain.

    “Since we entered the China market in 1994, we have become the first bio-tech firm that has arranged the full production line here. In the future, we will constantly introduce new technologies to China, and launching innovative products. China has a vast population, so we still have room to dig deeper.”

And China is ready to carry out more trilateral and multilateral cooperation with Australia to support South Pacific countries in maintaining peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region through openness and inclusiveness【包容性】.  

    在会见澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯时,习近平说,中澳两国恢复了各领域交流,并在双方努力下走上了改善关系的正确道路。习近平说,中国在亚太地区不搞排他性小圈子,不搞集团政治,不搞阵营对抗。中方愿同澳方开展更多三边和多边合作,以开放包容的姿态支持南太平洋国家维护亚太地区和平稳定。

    Albanese said as Australia and China have different political systems, it is normal for differences to occur, but these should not be allowed to define the relationship. Australia and China share extensive common interests, and dialogue and cooperation is the right choice.

    阿尔巴尼斯说,澳中两国政治体制不同,出现分歧是正常的,但不应因此而影响两国关系。他补充道,澳中两国拥有广泛的共同利益,对话与合作是正确的选择。

    2.LUXURY BRANDS TAPPING INTO LOCAL DESIGNERS' TALENT

    奢侈品牌齐聚进博,纷纷强调“中国元素”

    Luxury brands facing pressure from the global economic situation are using the CIIE to push deeper into the Chinese market. Zhang Shixiuan reports. 

    面临全球经济形势压力的奢侈品牌正利用中国国际进口博览会深入中国市场。记者张诗旋带来报道。

    This year bringing 12 of its brands, LVMH is participating at the China International Import Expo for the 4th time. 2 of its brands are joining for the first time. Some of them feature products with a distinctly Chinese style, created in partership with local artists.

    今年,LVMH集团携旗下12个品牌第四次参加中国国际进口博览会。有2个品牌是首次参展。其中一些品牌的产品具有鲜明的中国风格,是与当地艺术家合作创作的。

    Ludovic Watine-Arnault, Chief of Delegation for CIIE 2023, LVMH

    Ludovic Watine-Arnault 2023年进博会路威酩轩集团代表

    “We value very much the relationship that we have with our Chinese client and our Chinese partners. Chinese consumers are one of the more discerning【敏锐的】 and the more well educated about luxury in general and our brand. So in terms of future strategy, we will continue to invest on local events. We want to continue to deploy specially made experiences through product, exhibitions, shows, as well as infrastructure. In a few years, DFS will open what will likely be one of the most beautiful malls in Hainan in Ha Long Bay.”

    “我们非常重视与中国客户和中国合作伙伴的关系。中国消费者的眼光比较独到,对奢侈品和我们的品牌也比较了解。因此,就未来战略而言,我们将继续投资于本地活动。我们希望继续通过产品、展览、演出以及基础设施来打造特别的体验。几年后,将在海南最漂亮的购物中心之一开设DFS。”

    The multinational conglomerate【企业集团】 now has more than 1,300 stores in China, covering 46 individual brands.

    这家跨国企业集团目前在中国拥有1300多家门店,涵盖46个独立品牌。

    张诗旋 记者

    “The China luxury market had been surging, with the market doubling between 2019 and 2021. That's according to a report released by Bain & Company. But that growth streak ended in 2022 when the personal luxury market contracted 10% year-on-year. In 2022, nearly every luxury category and most brands experienced their first major decline in five years. But the report says, 2022 was a reset, not a the start of a major downturn. Growth will resume in this year now that China has lifted all its travel restrictions.”

    “中国奢侈品市场一直在飙升,2019年至2021年间市场规模将翻一番,根据贝恩公司发布的报告显示。但这一增长势头在2022年终止,个人奢侈品市场同比萎缩了10%。2022年,几乎所有奢侈品类别和大多数品牌都经历了五年来的首次大幅下滑。但报告称,2022年是重启,而不是大衰退的开始。现在中国已经取消了所有的旅行限制,今年将恢复增长。”

    Yann Bozec, President and CEO, Coach China

    杨葆焱 Coach中国区总裁兼首席执行官

    “We've been with a coach brand for the Tapestry Group in China for more than two decades. We have experienced ups and down and we know that it will be like that. We don't see China only as a market. We see China first as a source of inspiration as it was exemplified, many collaboration that we're doing with Chinese designer and Chinese artist. Now the market may be a little bit more soft, but we're still very optimistic about the continuous growth.

    We discuss and we disclose last year that we committed to open 100 store over the next three years. And I'm very pleased to recall now that for the fiscal year, Tapestry opened 37 stores. So we are very well on track and we continue to have a very strong optimism for the Chinese economy.”

    “我们与中国泰佩思琦集团的Coach品牌已经合作了二十多年。经历了起起伏伏,我们知道未来也会如此。我们不仅仅将中国视为一个市场。我们首先将中国视为灵感的源泉,我们与中国设计师和中国艺术家的许多合作就是例证。现在市场可能有点疲软,但我们对持续增长仍然非常乐观。去年,我们讨论并透露,我们承诺在未来三年内开设100家门店。我很高兴地告诉大家,在本财年,泰佩思琦已经开设了37家门店。因此,我们的发展非常顺利,我们对中国经济依然非常乐观。”

    Tapestry brought new spin-off brand to the import expo for the first time this year, with all products made from recyclable materials to highlight its committment to green development. Yann said that the company is also engaged in finding new partners, including more from China.   

    今年,泰佩思琦集团首次在进口博览会上带来了新的衍生品牌,所有产品均由可回收材料制成,以彰显其对绿色发展的承诺。杨葆焱表示,公司还在寻找新的合作伙伴,包括更多来自中国的合作伙伴。

    3. RAFAH CROSSING REOPENS TO WOUNDED AND FOREIGN PASSPORT HOLDERS

    拉法口岸对伤者和外国护照持有者恢复开放

    The transfer of wounded Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt for medical treatment as well as the exit of foreign nationals, resumed on Monday after being suspended for three days. Stephen Rancourt tells us more.

    将受伤的巴勒斯坦人从加沙转移到埃及接受治疗以及外国公民出境的工作在暂停三天后于周一恢复。记者Stephen Rancourt带来更多报道。

    Earlier on Monday, the government media office in Gaza said that any efforts to take convoys of wounded to the Rafah crossing and into Egypt must be accompanied by Red Cross and United Nations vehicles, to ensure their protection and safety.

    周一早时,加沙政府媒体办公室表示,任何将伤员送往拉法过境点和埃及的车队都必须由红十字会和联合国车辆陪同,以确保伤员的保护和安全。

    It took four failed attempts before Suzan Beseiso was able to get through the crossing and escape the aerial bombardment of the Gaza Strip. The 31-year-old Palestinian American, is just one of several hundred foreign passport holders allowed to leave the enclave through the Rafah crossing. 

    经过四次失败的尝试,苏珊·贝塞苏才得以通过过境点,逃离对加沙地带的空中轰炸。这位31岁的巴勒斯坦裔美国人是获准通过拉法口岸离开的数百名外国护照持有者之一。

    Suzan Beseido, Palestinian American

    贝赛苏 美国籍巴勒斯坦人

    “I just got my passport stamped from the Palestinian side and waiting to board on the bus to be evacuated on the Egyptian side. This is one of the toughest days of my life to be leaving my family, my friends and my hometown. ”

    “我刚刚在护照上敲好了章等着上车前往埃及一侧,这是我一生中最艰难的一天,我要离开家人、朋友和故乡了”

    Israeli warplanes on Friday struck an ambulance convoy carrying wounded Palestinians to the Rafah border crossing, killing 6 people. The Israeli military said the ambulance was being used by Hamas fighters to transport militants and weapons, adding that several Hamas fighters were killed in the operation. 

    以色列战机周五袭击了一个运送巴勒斯坦伤员前往拉法边境口岸的救护车车队,造成6人死亡。以色列军方称,这辆救护车被哈马斯战士用来运送武装分子和武器,并补充说有几名哈马斯战士在这次行动中丧生。

    The exit of the wounded as well as foreign passport holders out of Gaza was suspended following the incident.  

    事件发生后,伤员和外国护照持有者暂停离开加沙。

    The Israeli military said today that it has taken control of a Hamas military stronghold in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. The IDF reported they had struck two cells as well as a number of militants in a building adjacent to the al-Quds hospital. 

    以色列军方今天说,他们已经控制了哈马斯在加沙地带北部的一个军事据点。以色列国防军报告说,他们击中了两个小组以及圣城医院附近一栋建筑中的一些武装分子。

    UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Monday that the unfolding catastrophe in Gaza makes a humanitarian cease-fire more urgent with every passing hour. 

    联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯(Antonio Guterres)周一表示,加沙正在发生的灾难使得人道主义停火愈发迫切。

    Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary-General

    古特雷斯 联合国秘书长

    “Gaza is becoming a graveyard【墓地】 for children. Hundreds of girls and boys are reportedly being killed or injured every day. The way forward is clear. A humanitarian ceasefire, now. All parties respecting all their obligations under international humanitarian law, now. ”

    “加沙正在成为儿童坟场。据报道,每天都有数百名儿童伤亡,前进的道路是明确的,立刻实现人道主义停火,各方立刻遵守国际人道主义法规定的所有义务”

    Both Israel and Hamas have rebuffed mounting calls for a halt in the fighting. Israel says the hostages must be released first. Hamas says it will not free any hostages or stop fighting while Gaza is under attack. 

    以色列和哈马斯都拒绝了越来越多要求停止战斗的呼吁。以色列说,必须首先释放人质。哈马斯则表示,在加沙受到攻击的情况下,它不会释放任何人质,也不会停止战斗。

    Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister

    内塔尼亚胡 以色列总理

    “There'll be no ceasefire, no general ceasefire in Gaza without the release of our hostages 【人质】. As far as tactical little pauses, an hour here, an hour there, we've had them before, I suppose we'll check the circumstances in order to enable goods, humanitarian goods to come in or individual hostages to leave. ”

    “不释放我们的人质就不会有停火,加沙地带不会有全面停火,至于战术上的小停顿,这里一小时 那里一小时,我们以前实施过,我想我们会根据情况以便人道主义物资进入,或者个别人质离开”

    Netanyahu also said that he anticipates Israel will have "the overall security responsibility in Gaza" after the war ends. 

    内塔尼亚胡还说,他预计以色列将在战争结束后“全面负责加沙的安全”。

    1. PHARMACEUTICAL FIRMS SHOWCASE DIGITAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT TOOLS AT CIIE

    数字化、智能化、本土化、进博会上,全球药械企业重押中国

    Central precocious【早熟的】 puberty【青春期】 is a condition where a child's body begins changing into an adult's too soon. It can cause a child to stop growing at an early age. Recent studies show this condition is increasing in China, affecting up to 1 percent of children. 

    中枢性性早熟是指儿童的身体过早开始向成人变化。它会导致儿童过早停止生长。最近的研究表明,这种疾病在中国呈上升趋势,受影响儿童的比例高达1%。

    Takeda has an app that when combined with its urine test strip can help parents check whether their kids may be at risk for precocious puberty, or monitor their kids' hormone【激素】levels if their kids are already being treated. 

    武田制药推出了一款应用程序,如果与尿液试纸结合使用,可以帮助家长检查孩子是否有性早熟的风险,或者孩子已经接受治疗,app可以监测孩子的激素水平。

    Owen Gu, Head of Data, Digital & Tech Takeda China

    顾青 武田中国数字化科技团队负责人

    “In traditional healthcare, this would mean many hospital visits for a young patient and their family. With this, one can visualize the process of their treatment at home. We expect the app to undergo assessment by China's medical regulator next year. ”

    “在传统的医疗保健中,这意味着年轻的病人及其家人需要多次到医院就诊。有了这款软件,人们就可以在家里直观地了解治疗过程。我们预计,这款应用将于明年接受中国医疗监管机构的评估。”

    Years ago at the CIIE, Takeda showcased computer software for doctors of hemophilia A patients to calculate how much blood clotting agent a patient should be inject with and the frequency. Today, the drugmaker unveiled a new version in the form of a smartphone app that the patient can download and calculate for themselves.

    多年前,武田制药曾在进博会展示过一款电脑软件,供A型血友病患者的医生计算患者应注射多少凝血剂以及注射频率。今天,这家药企推出了新版本的手机应用程序,患者可以下载并自行计算。

    Danish company Novo Nordisk developed an insulin pen and app for diabetes patients. Place the pen's sensor near the smartphone, and the app notes the amount of insulin in this injection and the time. Also input exercise and blood sugar measurements over the day, and it generates a curve that helps the patient visualize and manage their blood sugar levels. 

    丹麦的诺和诺德公司为糖尿病患者开发了茵诺胰岛素笔APP。将笔的传感器放在手机附近,应用程序就会记录下这次注射的胰岛素量和时间。同时输入一天中的运动量和血糖测量值,它就会生成一条曲线,帮助患者直观地了解和管理自己的血糖水平。

    Zhou Xiaping, President, Novo Nordisk China

    周霞萍 诺和诺德全球高级副总裁兼中国区总裁

    “We understand the China market as the leader of innovations in digital healthcare. We'd like to work out more digital healthcare solutions that are most needed in this market. ”

    “中国已成为数字科技的全球创新引领者 希望借力进博合作强磁场 与更多伙伴共同打造中国定制、全球领先的数字化健康解决方案。”

    Pharmaceutical【制药的】 companies say the goal of these tools is to reduce hospital visits, and eventually be able to conduct some tests at home and have the app interpret the result. 

    制药公司表示,这些工具的目标是减少医院就诊次数,最终能够在家里进行一些测试,并由app解释结果。

    2.AUSTRALIAN PM VISITS CHINA, CALLS FOR COOPERATION

    澳总理访华,多谈合作才是正确方向

    Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is now on a four-day visit to China. He's the first Australian prime minister to visit China in seven years, as the two nations look to shore up relations. Ying Junyi has more.

    澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯正在对中国进行为期四天的访问。他是七年来首位访华的澳大利亚总理,两国正寻求巩固关系。记者应俊一带来更多报道。

    During his visit, the two countries are set to "have an in-depth exchange of views on bilateral issues as well as on international and regional issues of common concern." Albanese attended the opening ceremony of the CIIE, and several business events are being held on the sidelines as well. He says he is looking forward to "constructive economic engagement" between the two countries. Tourism is one aspect of it. 

    访问期间,两国将“就双边关系及共同关心的国际和地区问题深入交换意见”。阿尔巴尼斯总理出席了中国国际进口博览会”开幕式,博览会期间还将举办多项商务活动。他表示,期待着两国之间“建设性的经济交往”。旅游业是其中的一个方面。

    Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister of Australia

    安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯 澳大利亚总理

    “In 2019, China was Australia's number one tourism market. With travel between China and Australia resuming this year, we are so excited about the return of Chinese travelers. That is why we launched our global tourism campaign right here.”

    “2019年,中国成为澳大利亚第一大旅游市场。今年,中澳两国之间的旅游重新恢复,我们对中国游客的回归感到非常兴奋。因此,我们在这里启动了全球旅游宣传活动。”

    It's also about foreign trade. Traded goods and services have rocketed between the two countries since the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement came into force in 2015. Also, more than 250 Australian companies are attending this year's CIIE, presenting products from seafood and beef to wine and iron ore. 

    两国交往也与对外贸易有关。自《中澳自由贸易协定》于2015年生效以来,两国之间的货物和服务贸易额激增。此外,250多家澳大利亚公司将参加今年的中国国际进口博览会,展示从海鲜和牛肉到葡萄酒和铁矿石等产品。

    Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister of Australia

    安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯 澳大利亚总理

    “China is our largest trading partner and will remain so for the foreseeable future, even as we like all countries seek to diversify our trade. Since the free trade agreement came into force, Australian exports to China have more than doubled, while Chinese exports to Australia have increased by almost 80 percent, benefiting consumers and businesses in both countries.”

    “中国是我们最大的贸易伙伴,在可预见的未来仍将如此。尽管我们和所有国家一样,都在努力实现贸易多元化。自《自由贸易协定生效》以来,澳大利亚对中国的出口增长了一倍多,而中国对澳大利亚的出口增长了近80%,两国的消费者和企业都从中受益。”

    During the visit, the two countries have also discussed cooperating on dealing with climate change and other challenges including those in the agricultural and art sectors. 

    在访问期间,两国还讨论了合作应对气候变化和其他挑战的问题,包括农业和艺术领域的挑战。

    3. CIIE: A GO-TO PLACE FOR NEW ZEALAND EXPORTERS

    进博会为新西兰出口商提供重要平台

    At the 6th China International Import Expo, some New Zealand companies are showing from their specialities here, and building on their previous expo achievements. Zhang Shixuan reports. 

    在第六届中国国际进口博览会上,一些新西兰公司展示了自己的特色产品,并在上届进博会取得的成绩基础上再接再厉。记者张诗旋带来报道。

    Well known cute and gentle nature, alpacas are loved by many people. And while you might expect to see them in the highlands of South America, you can also find them grazing on Shanghai's Chongming Island. Opened just this year, it's the first urban alpaca-themed ranch in China - a cooperation between a Chinese alpaca keeper from the Inner Mongolia and a New Zealand firm

    羊驼天性温顺可爱,深受人们喜爱。虽然您可能会在南美洲的高原上看到它们,但在上海崇明岛,也能看到它们吃草的身影。这是中国首个以羊驼为主题的城市牧场,由来自内蒙古的中国羊驼饲养者和新西兰的一家公司合作建成。

    Zhang Shixuan, Reporter

    张诗旋 记者

    “Look how cute the alpaca toy is! I'm at the consumer goods pavilion at the CIIE. This booth is all about alpaca fibre【纤维】 products - from the New Zealand partner of that alpaca farm in Shanghai's Chongming District.”

    “看,多可爱的羊驼玩具!我在中国国际进口博览会的消费品展馆。这个展台展示的都是羊驼纤维产品——来自上海崇明区羊驼农场的新西兰合作伙伴。”

    Duvets, blankets, and coats... All made with alpaca wool from New Zealand.

    羽绒被、毛毯和大衣…全部采用新西兰羊驼毛制成。

    Eric Geng, Executive Director , Pacific Alpacas Hometex Group

    耿聪 太平洋羊驼家纺集团(新西兰)
    “During these two years, we have set up a number of offline stores either in Shanghai and Shandong province and also Hainan Province. And also we have some cooperation with the local distributors in China market.”

    “这两年,我们在上海、山东和海南省建立了多家线下门店。此外,我们还与中国市场的当地经销商开展了一些合作。”

    And they are not just simply importing the alpaca wool. They are accelerating the pace of local manufacturing.

    他们不仅进口羊驼毛。它们正在加快本地制造的步伐。

    Dmitri Prokopenko, Operation Director, Pacific Alpacas

    德米特里·波普科 新西兰太平洋羊驼集团品牌联合创始人、品牌运营总监

    “Before it was a hundred percent New Zealand production right now we bring in part of production to China so it's probably like 30 to 70% comparison. And we wish to bring more fiber and produce in China because we can speed up and scale it way bigger here in China. Definitely China production, it's top one in the world. You cannot scale so much in New Zealand. The amount of people in New Zealand is very limited. So it's more professional. Everything happening way faster here than in New Zealand. ”

    “以前,我们百分之百在新西兰生产,现在,我们将部分产品引入中国,因此,与新西兰相比,中国占30% 至70%。我们希望在中国生产更多的纤维,因为我们可以在中国加快生产速度,扩大生产规模。中国的产量绝对是世界第一。在新西兰,你不可能扩大这么大的规模。新西兰的人口数量非常有限。所以这里更专业。这里的一切都比新西兰快得多。”

    Zhang Shixuan, Reporter

    张诗旋 记者

    The company's business seems pretty diverse now. But things weren't like this 2 years ago, when the tourism industry in New Zealand suffered from the pandemic. Attending the CIIE has been a turning point - entering into the China market. 

    现在,公司的业务非常多样化。但两年前的情况并非如此,当时新西兰的旅游业受到了疫情影响。参加中国国际进口博览会是一个转折点——进入中国市场。

    Eric Geng, Executive Director , Pacific Alpacas Hometex Group

    耿聪 太平洋羊驼家纺集团(新西兰)

    “It's very over our expectation because at the first year when we join CIIE, we only have 9 square meters in here. But during three days, we sold out all our products in just 3 days. And this year we have independent store, which is 36 square meters in CIIE this year. New Zealand is a very small country and it's also export oriented market. But for China is a big consumer market. So we see this is a huge potential opportunity for the New Zealand company who want to enter China market, who want to explore more consumers in the China market.”

    “这超出了我们的预期,因为第一年参加进博会时,我们在这里只有9平方米。但在三天时间里,我们的产品就销售一空。今年,我们在进博会有一家独立店,面积有36平方米。新西兰是一个很小的国家,也是一个出口导向型市场。但中国是一个很大的消费市场。因此,我们认为这对于想进入中国市场、想在中国市场开拓更多消费者的新西兰公司来说,是一个巨大的潜在机会。”

    In just 3 years, half of the company's business already comes from China. And it aims to increase that to 70 percent after this year's CIIE. Embracing the achievements from the import expo and highlighting the importance of the China market, the company has brought several paintings, illustrating the friendship between China and New Zealand to this year's expo. 

    在短短三年时间里,该公司已有一半的业务来自中国。该公司的目标是在今年的进博会后将这一比例提高到70%。为了迎接进博会的成果,突出中国市场的重要性,该公司在今年的博览会上带来了几幅展现中新友谊的画作。

    Some more well known New Zealand companies have been regular participants at the event, where Dairy giant Fonterra will bring 2 brand new products to China at this year's expo.

    一些知名的新西兰公司也经常参加本次进博会,其中乳制品巨头恒天然集团将在本届博览会上为中国带来两款全新产品。

    Teh-han Chow, Chief Executive Officer, Greater China , Fonterra

    周德汉 恒天然大中华区首席执行官

    “we can see that consumer sales have grown in the market, generally speaking, nearly 7%. Obviously, we have benefited from a lot from the free trade agreement that China and New Zealand signed many years ago and we will see many of our products become duty free come January one of 2024. So I think that the more trade agreements and the more economic cooperation that we can see amongst nations will benefit all of us in terms of being able to bring new products to consumers that they need and that they want.”

    “我们可以看到,市场上的消费者销售额普遍增长了近7%。显然,我们从中国和新西兰多年前签署的《自由贸易协定》中获益良多,我们将看到我们的许多产品在2024年1月1日成为免税产品。因此,我认为,贸易协定越多,国家之间的经济合作越多,我们就越能为消费者带来他们需要和想要的新产品,这对所有人都有好处。”

    Since 2014, Fonterra has opened application centres in China including Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Shenzhen, as part of its localization strategy.

    自2014年以来,恒天然在中国上海、北京、广州、成都和深圳等地开设了应用中心,这是其本地化战略的一部分。

    China has become the largest export market and source of imports for New Zealand, with bilateral trade volume reaching 25 billion US dollars in 2022. This year, China and New Zealand have agreed to scale up bilateral【双方的】 trade and bolster cooperation in e-commerce, trade in services, the green economy and establish a dialogue mechanism for new energy vehicles. 

    中国已成为新西兰最大的出口市场和进口来源国,2022年双边贸易额将达到250亿美元。今年,中新双方同意扩大双边贸易规模,加强在电子商务、服务贸易、绿色经济等领域的合作,并建立新能源汽车对话机制。

    “This was created by 18 block builders from China and Czech Republic. It's 4.6 meters high, it's the tallest sculpture we've ever displayed at the CIIE, it was particularly challenging to construct.” 

    “18位来自中国嘉兴和捷克的拼搭师共同设计完成的。难度在于它特别高,高达4.6米,是我们从第一届(进博会)开始到现在搭的最高的一次乐高模型”

    In the incubation【孵化】section for fledgling businesses, the Northern Europe Innovation Center brought 50 companies, a significant improvement from less than 10 when they attended the CIIE for the first time. The trade group decided to host a "University Startup World Cup" final at their booth during this year's Import Expo. A Swiss air-purifier company will showcase its new air purifier that was updated from a product that it has presented at last CIIE. 

    在创新孵化专区部,北欧创新中心有50家公司。与首次参加中国进博会时的不足10家相比,有了显著提高。该行业组织决定在今年的进口博览会期间在其展位上举办“大学生创业世界杯”决赛。一家瑞士空气净化器公司将展示其在上届中国国际进口博览会上推出的新款空气净化器。

    Last but not the least, a variety of fruit finally arrived at the site right before the expo opens to ensure freshness. Benin's sugarloaf pineapple that just received import approval in September will make its first appearance in China at the CIIE.

    最后,各种水果在进博会开幕前运抵现场,以确保新鲜。今年9月刚刚获得进口许可的贝宁鲜食菠萝将在中国国际进口博览会上首次亮相。

     “My classmates and I just went to visit He's hometown in summer. As a student vocalist, his spirit of pursuing music and art until his death is an inspiration.”

    “我们在学校组织的暑期实践中,我们去了韶东的故居,我就是非常有感触的是乘风破浪的精神,不懈的坚持努力。”

    A concert was also held by teachers and students from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music to commemorate【纪念】He, who was appointed director of the university in 1949, he kept the post until his retirement in 1984.

    廖昌永 上海音乐学院 院长

    “Art and music are not only for professionals, but for the public and all of society. This is why music composition has to be easy to understand, as it is going to arouse people's emotions more easily. This is why we have opened our campus to the public last year, so that people can walk into the university to feel the charm of music. ”

    “我们的音乐创作,音乐表演不只是给专业观众看的,其实我们的音乐作品是服务于社会,让大家都能听得懂,激发起大家的共同情感。所以在我们去年上海音乐学院对外开放,校园开放其实也是本着这样一个理念,让人们走进大学,感受音乐的魅力。”

    The exhibition's name "Truth", comes from the Chinese 'Bao Zhen' 抱真, the alias that He gave to himself, representing a spirit of chasing truth his whole life. He's best-known work includes "Song of the Four Seasons" and "The Wandering Songstress," both composed for the 1937 movie "Street Angel" and sung by Zhou Xuan.

    展览的名称“真理”来自中文“包真”,包真是贺绿汀给自己起的别名,代表了他一生追求真理的精神。他最著名的作品包括《四季歌》和《天涯歌女》,这两首歌都是为 1937 年的电影《马路天使》而作,由周璇演唱。

    3. LOCAL IMPORTERS BENEFITED FROM CIIE

    本地进口商受益于中国进博会

    The 6th China International Import Expo is just 2 days away. While international companies and brands have been obvious beneficiaries from the expo, some local importers have also been making some gains. Zhang Shixuan has more.

    还有两天,第六届中国国际进口博览会就要开幕了。在国际企业和品牌成为博览会明显受益者的同时,一些本土进口商也有所收获。记者张诗旋带来更多报道。

    A foreign trade business specialist for 3 decades, Pan Qi had her professional career dominated by textile exports until 6 years ago. But since the 1st China International Import Expo held in Shanghai in 2018, things have changed—from an export to an import business.

    潘琦是一名从事了30年外贸业务的专家,6年前,她的职业生涯一直以纺织品出口为主。但自2018年首届中国国际进口博览会在上海举办以来,情况发生了变化——从出口业务变成了进口业务。

    Pan Qi, Marketing Manager, Orient Enterprise 

    潘琦 东方伟业有限公司市场部经理

    “As domestic costs increase, the profit for traditional general trading has become lower. So a large batch of foreign trade business staff had to adapt. And the CIIE is a good opportunity for us to shift from export to import.”

    “国内的成本高了以后,我们一般的传统贸易可能会利润空间越来越小,我们大家一大批老的外贸业务员,我们要转型,那进博会就是我们一个很好的一个转型的契机,我们就从出口做进口了。”

    Her imports have been expanding from just food at the 1st CIIE, to toys, healthcare products and medical equipment, she's even bringing in children's football training services this year - an expansion from general trading to service trading. The countriesshe trades with have expanded from Japan to also include European countries.

    她的进口产品从第一届进博会上的食品扩展到玩具、保健产品和医疗设备,今年(进博会)她甚至引进了儿童足球训练服务——从一般贸易扩展到服务贸易。与她有贸易往来的国家也从日本扩展到了欧洲国家。

    Pan Qi, Marketing Manager,Orient Enterprise

    潘琦 东方伟业有限公司市场部经理

    “Many foreign companies have been interested in the China market for some time. But they didn't have an entry point. Now more customers have been reaching out to us, sometimes we even have too many to deal with.”

    “很多外国的客户,他们对我们中国的市场很有兴趣,但是他们就是抓不到这一个切入点。到现在就是我们越来越大,然后我们就是没有时间去招待这些客人。”

    This year, Pan's overseas client numbers are 5 times that of last year. The import volume has doubled or trippled compared to 6 years ago. Foreign companies are now more willing to cooperate with local importers.

    今年,潘琦的海外客户数量是去年的5倍。与6年前相比,进口量翻了两三倍。现在,外国公司更愿意与本地进口商合作。

    Shang Chen, CEO , Anti-Aging Group

    尚忱 中国总代安璟汇集团执行总裁

    “Importers are reliable and have good reputations in the local market. So that makes it easier for us to reach out to the local families and the market. We also want to cooperate with Orient International to enter into China's elderly care sector.”

    “进口商是可靠的,并且是有知誉度的。这样的话更容易去深入我们的家庭和我们的市场。我们也特别愿意跟东方国际去联手进入更多的康养行业,中国的养老行业。”

    Some companies are also taking advantage of the expo to import high-end medical equipment, and then, work to localize it. At past expos, Fosun Pharma have been exhibiting a surgery robot from the United States. This year the company has made it possible for the robot to be manufactured in China.

    一些公司还利用世博会进口高端医疗设备,将其本土化。复星医药在往届世博会上展出了一款来自美国的手术机器人。今年,该公司实现了该机器人在中国的生产。

    Zhang Shixuan, Reporter

    张诗旋 记者

    “It's been 6 years since the first CIIE was held in Shanghai. Numerous exhibits have turned into products for sale. And it's not just industrial equipment; retail goods from the show have become more common in China. Some of them have become exceedingly【非常】popular on e-commerce sites.”

    “进博会在上海举办至今已有6年。众多展品已成为销售产品。不仅是工业设备,展会上的零售商品在中国也越来越常见。其中一些产品在电子商务网站上非常受欢迎”

    Mandy Zhang, Busienss Manager, Pinduoduo

    张曼迪 拼多多业务经理

    “As an e-commerce platform starting from agriculture business, Pinduoduo has reached almost 900 million consumers with the imported agriculture products from the CIIE, such as cherries from Chili, red shrimp from Argentina, Steak from Australia, and Salmon from Norway. This year's first batch of cherries from Chili just went on pre-sale on the Pinduoduo app. Sales have risen more than 80% from a year ago.”

    “作为以农业起家的电商平台,拼多多也通过进博会加速全球优质进口农产品与近9亿消费者的直连,像智利车厘子、纽仕兰乳制品、阿根廷红虾、澳大利亚牛排、挪威三文鱼等等。最近今年首批智利车厘子在拼多多首发预售,销量同比增长超80%。”

    For this year's CIIE, Pinduoduo also plans to host special livestreams, to sell goods from countries that participate in the Belt and Road initiative and from companies attending the import expo.

    在今年的进博会上,拼多多还计划举办特别直播,销售来自“一带一路”倡议参与国和进口博览会参展企业的商品。

    1. WOMEN’S FOOTBALL TEAM FAILS TO QUALIFY FOR PARIS OLYMPICS

    奥预赛:女足1-1憾平韩国无缘巴黎奥运

    China drew 1-1 with South Korea last night in an Asian women’s football qualifier match for the 2024 Paris Olympics, a result that left both teams failing to qualify. The match was held in Xiamen, Fujian Province. Zhang Yue has more.

    在昨晚(11/01)的 2024 年巴黎奥运会女足亚洲区预选赛中,中国队以 1-1 战平韩国队,两队均无缘出线。该场比赛在福建厦门举行。本台记者张乐带来详细报道。

    South Korea had its best scoring opportunity of the first half in stoppage time, when Ji Souyun hit the post in a counterattack after receiving a through ball from Phair Casey. The away team broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute as Shim Seo-Yoen headed home from a free kick. 15 minutes later, Wang Shanshan's header leveled for China after a precise cross from Yan Jinjin. China almost scored a winner in the 85th minute, but Yan's one-on-one shot in the penalty area went just wide.

    韩国队在上半场补时阶段打出一脚极具威胁的射门,池笑然在反击中接到凯西·费尔的传球射门,击中立柱弹出。客场作战的韩国队在比赛第63分钟打破僵局,沈藇妍利用任意球机会头球破门。15分钟后,闫锦锦精准传中,王珊珊头球为中国队扳平比分。第85分钟,闫锦锦单刀机会将球射偏,中国女足错失反超比分良机。

    Shui Qingxia, Head Coach Chinese National Women's Football Team

    水庆霞中国国家女子足球队主教练

    “其实从内心来讲,我也是蛮难过的,也比较心疼这些姑娘,我们有很多差距,尤其青训方面,但是我觉得如果说我们清醒认识到我们的差距和很多的不足,真的静下心来去处理一些细节上面的东西,我想今后的中国女足还会往正确的方向去走。”

    “I feel sorry that we didn't win the match. I want to thank my players for trying their best. We wanted to improve our match, but it didn't work out. We have to learn from all the losses and find the right path in the future.”

    Australia, the DPRK and Japan qualified as group winners, while Uzbekistan also advanced to the final stage of Asian qualifiers. Two of those four teams will qualify for the Paris Olympics.

    澳大利亚、朝鲜和日本队以小组第一的身份晋级,乌兹别克斯坦队也晋级亚洲区预选赛决赛。四支队伍将两两对阵,两支获胜的球队将获得巴黎奥运会门票。

    2.HIGH-TECH & PHARMA COMPANIES MUCH ANTICIPATED FOR CIIE

    进博会:高科技和制药公司备受瞩目

    High-tech and pharmaceutical【制药的】companies are once again highly-anticipated exhibitors at the upcoming import expo, bringing advanced technologies and striking deals with local firms. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan talked to two of them and finds out what’s new about this year’s event.

    在即将举行的第六届中国国际进口博览会(以下简称“进博会”)上,高科技和制药公司再次成为备受瞩目的参展商,他们将带来先进技术,并与本地企业进行交易。本台记者张诗旋采访了其中两家企业,了解今年展会的新情况。


    We all think of glass as fragile. But as one company at CIIE is proving, it doesn't have to be. This piece of glass ceramic【陶瓷制品】is tough and resistant to extreme temperatures. It’s a crucial component in the new Mozi telescrope opened in China’s Qinghai province in September-- the largest of its kind in the Northern Hemisphere. German high-tech developer SCHOTT will for the first time bring its astronomy materials, including its glass ceramics to the import expo.

    我们都认为玻璃易碎。但正如进博会的一家公司证明那样,玻璃并不一定如此。这块玻璃陶瓷坚固耐用,可以抵御极端温度。它是今年 9 月在中国青海省启用的墨子巡天望远镜的关键基材,该望远镜是目前北半球最大的同类望远镜。德国高科技开发商肖特集团将在此届进博会上首次展出包括玻璃陶瓷在内的天文特种材料。


    Salvatore Ruggiero, Vice President of Marketing & Communication, SCHOTT AG

    萨尔瓦多·罗杰,肖特集团全球市场营销和传播副总裁

    “Astronomy is a mega trend. And as we know, also in China, they are coming up with a lot of projects in astronomy areas. So, we want to show our products and our applications to the audience. We did a lot of investments in the last five years. For example, 170 million euro we invested here in China in different areas. But now we will not stop with this investment in China and we will invest a lot in China also for this astronomy application.”

    “天文学是一个大趋势。我们知道,中国也在天文学领域开展了很多项目。因此,我们希望向观众展示我们的产品和应用。过去五年,我们进行了大量投资。例如,我们在中国不同领域投资了 1.7 亿欧元。但现在,我们不会停止在中国的投资,我们还将为天文学应用在中国投入大量资金。”


    The company’s material is now also used on the world’s largest optical【光学的】telescope currently under construction, the Extremely Large Telescope. It allows the telescope to receive 100 million times more light than the human eye. Technology and pharmaceutical companies aren’t just here to show off their latest products though, they're also looking to cooperate with local firms.

    该公司的材料还被使用在目前世界上最大的光学望远镜欧洲极大望远镜ELT(在建)上,作使ELT能够比人眼接收多一亿倍的光。科技和制药公司不仅仅是为了在进博会展示他们的最新产品,他们还希望与当地企业进行合作。


    Jean-Christophe Pointeau, President of Pfizer China

    彭振科辉瑞全球生物制药商业集团中国区总裁

    “China is already the second largest healthcare market in the world. It's not only an investment but is also collaborating with the local pharmaceutical industry, innovative product best in class or first in class in specialty care in unmet medical need such as together we could launch not only in China for China, but to bridge all these innovative products which are discovered in China for the rest of the world. We decided with the Hangzhou city to develop a Pfizer Innovation Center where we will take the best of the health care which is the best of Hangzhou with IT digital together to develop health care digital solution.”

    “中国已经是世界第二大医疗保健市场。这不仅是一项投资,还是与当地制药行业合作的举措,致力于在特殊医疗领域提供最佳或首创的创新产品,满足医疗领域未被满足的需求。我们不仅可以在中国推出这些产品,还可以架起连接中国研发的创新产品与全球其他地方的桥梁。我们决定与杭州市合作开发一个辉瑞创新中心,在这里,我们将把杭州最好的医疗保健与IT数字化结合起来,共同开发医疗保健数字化解决方案。”


    Pfizer is attending the import expo for the 4th year in a row. Pointeau said he has witnessed the rapid growth in the healthcare sector in China, especially an acceleration of administration. That has made it possible for pharmaceutical companies to launch a new drug in China at the same time as the US or Europe.

    辉瑞集团已连续四年参加进口博览会。彭振科说,他见证了中国医疗保健行业的快速发展,尤其是行政管理的加速。这使得制药公司可以在中国与美国或欧洲同时推出新药。


    3.CHINA CALLS FOR END TO HOSTILITIES IN ISRAEL-HAMAS CONFLICT

    “破坏容易重建难”中方呼吁巴以冲突方停止一切敌对行动

    China’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Zhang Jun yesterday said the situation in Palestine and Israel is at the top of the Security Council’s agenda this month, and it’s imperative【紧急的】to promote a ceasefire and halt the fighting. Lei Shuran has more.

    “It’s called Luban lock. You can break it easily by putting out one of the six, and then they break. The problem is how to fix it? So once is broken, you cannot fix piece together easily. We may also take it as the serious challenges ahead of us, it needs our solidarity, it needs us to hold each other up together, and then we have more powerful strengths to tackle all the issues ahead of us.”

    1.TWO-DAY FINANCIAL WORK CONFERENCE HELD IN BEIJING

    为期两日中央金融工作会议在京举行

    The Central Financial Work Conference - which take place once every five years - was held in Beijing from Monday to Tuesday. Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, delivered an important speech. Lei Shuran has more.

    本周一至周二(10/30-10/31),五年一次的中央金融工作会议在北京举行。中共中央总书记习近平发表了重要讲话。本台记者雷舒然带来详细报道。


    Noting that finance key to the national economy and an important part of the country’s core competitiveness, the meeting urged greater efforts to comprehensively step up financial supervision, optimize【使优化】 financial services and prevent and resolve risks to promote high-quality development of China’s financial sector.

    会议强调,金融是国民经济的血脉,是国家核心竞争力的重要组成部分,要全面加强金融监管,优化金融服务,防范化解风险,推动我国金融高质量发展。


    The meeting heard how China’s financial system has strongly supported the country’s overall economic and social development, but also still comes with risks, including corruption【贪污】and poor efficiency.

    会议指出了金融系统有力支撑经济社会发展大局,但经济金融风险隐患仍然较多,腐败问题屡禁不止,金融服务实体经济的质效不高。


    The conference delegates【代表】called for optimizing the use of financial resources and creating a market with unified rules and coordinated supervision so risks -- at financial institutions and in local government finances -- can be addressed in a timely manner.

    与会代表呼吁优化金融资源的使用,打造规则统一、监管协同的金融市场,以便及时应对金融机构和地方政府财政的风险。


    Zhang Liqun, Development Research Centre of the State Council

    张立群国务院发展研究中心宏观经济研究部研究员

    “最终来化解好这个地方政府债务。要有一个综合实测,有一个系统性的政策体系来统一支持,这个也包含着了对整个地方债的这样一个甄别。就是说你做了什么事情?你做的事情好不好?事情做得不好的话,这个钱怎么跑过来的?这里边其实也就包含着这个金融体制一些漏洞,要通过这样一个过程把它尽快的给堵住,把整个金融制度包括金融监管,把它全面的加强起来。”

    “To ultimately dissolve problems in local government debt, there needs to be a comprehensive measurement and a systematic policy system to offer support, which also includes the screening of local debt. That is, what have you done and how well did you do it? If things are not done well, how were the loans approved? There are financial loopholes in the debt issuance process which should be plugged as soon as possible using the screening process, so as to strengthen the financial system and supervision.”


    From 2014 to September 2023, China saw its outstanding yuan-denominated loans issued to the real economy shoot up from a little over 81 trillion yuan to more than 230 trillion yuan. The average annual debt growth was 10 percent, generally in line with nominal GDP growth, according to data from the People’s Bank of China.       

    从2014年到2023年9月,中国发放给实体经济的人民币贷款从81万亿元增加到了230多万亿元。根据中国人民银行的数据,平均年债务增长率为10%,与名义国内生产总值(GDP)增长相符。

    Just like they did in Tokyo, the SMG delegation donated two bilingual books to the university’s library, one introduces 50 life scenarios in Shanghai, the other talks about the Chinese 24 solar terms. Apart from students, local Kobe residents can also borrow the books from the university library.

    The Riverside County Fire Department ordered the evacuation of roughly 4,000 people, including the small town of Aguanga, where the fire started. Officials also opened one refugee center for people and another for animals, while those staying at a recreational vehicle park were directed to move their campers to a Walmart parking lot in Temecula about 15 miles away.
