    英语新闻丨CPC to hold key meeting in October

    The fifth plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee will be held in Beijing in October, with a focus on studying major issues on consistently advancing the Party's full and rigorous self-governance.The announcement came on Thursday after a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, which was presided over by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee.A statement issued after the meeting said that with the profound changes in the international landscape, national conditions and the Party's development, there are new circumstances and issues in advancing the Party's self-governance.In exercising full and rigorous Party governance, efforts should be focused on enhancing the Party's long-term governance capability, maintaining its advanced nature and integrity, and preserving the close bond between the Party and the people, in order to ensure that the Party always remains the strong leadership core in developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, the statement said.The meeting also analyzed and studied the current economic situation and made arrangements for economic work in the second half of this year.During the meeting, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, the Party's top decision-making body, pledged to step up macro policy support, and underlined the need to implement a more proactive fiscal policy and a moderately loose monetary policy, fully leverage the effectiveness of existing policies and roll out practical and effective incremental measures in a timely manner.It is essential to strengthen countercyclical adjustments, intensify efforts to expand domestic demand and optimize supply, enhance development momentum and stimulate social vitality in order to achieve sustained, innovative and improved economic growth, the meeting said.The meeting emphasized the need to accelerate the pace of fiscal spending and the use of bond funds, effectively utilize monetary policy tools and adjust them in a timely manner, and optimize fiscal-monetary coordination to boost domestic demand.It is important to expand mutually beneficial international economic and trade cooperation, vigorously develop service trade, and promote balanced trade development, the meeting said, calling for efforts to actively attract and utilize foreign capital.The meeting emphasized the importance of stabilizing the real estate market, while highlighting the need to enhance the resilience of the capital market and investors' confidence.China's economy grew 4.7 percent year-on-year in the first half of the year. This put the country largely on track to meet its annual growth target of between 4.5 and 5 percent.To effectively carry out economic work for the remainder of the year, efforts must be made to better consider both the domestic and international situations in a coordinated way, balance development and security, consistently deepen reform and opening-up, and speed up the transition from old growth drivers to new ones, the meeting said.The meeting underlined the need to take solid steps to build the "six networks" — water, new-type power grids, computing power, next-generation communication, urban underground pipe and logistics, while calling for efforts to accelerate the development of a modern industrial system and strengthen long-term and steady support for basic research.While calling for deeply implementing the "AI Plus" initiative, fostering new forms of the smart economy and improving the governance system for artificial intelligence, the meeting underscored the need to seek breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies and the development of future industries.Efforts should be made to build emerging pillar industries, while continuously driving the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, the meeting said.The meeting emphasized the need to create a level playing field for market entities, comprehensively address "rat race" competition, further deepen the reform of State-owned assets and enterprises, optimize the development environment for the private economy, and promote the regulated and healthy development of the internet-based platform economy.It is important to effectively implement a package of debt relief measures, and steadily advance the reform and risk mitigation of local small and medium-sized financial institutions, the meeting said.Advice on economic workPrior to Thursday's Political Bureau meeting, the CPC Central Committee held a symposium on July 24 with non-CPC personages to solicit opinions and suggestions on the current economic situation and economic work for the second half of this year.While presiding over the symposium, Xi said that in the first half of the year, China's economy made steady progress despite headwinds, demonstrating strong resilience and vitality.In the second half of the year, efforts should focus on enhancing the effectiveness of macroeconomic policies, Xi said.Key priorities include tapping into the potential for expanding domestic demand, promoting the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation, deepening reform and expanding high-standard opening-up, improving people's livelihoods and continuing to mitigate risks in key areas, he said. plenary /ˈpliːnəri/ adj.全体出席的；全体会议的 countercyclical /ˌkaʊntəˈsɪklɪkl/ adj.逆周期的 incremental /ˌɪŋkrəˈmentl/ adj.增量的；新增的 resilience /rɪˈzɪliəns/ n.韧性；抗风险能力 symposium /sɪmˈpəʊziəm/ n.座谈会；专题研讨会 mitigate /ˈmɪtɪɡeɪt/ v.缓解；化解（风险、债务、压力）

    英语新闻丨家庭出游、体验式旅行助推暑期旅游热潮

    With the 2026 summer travel season now at its peak, China's tourism market continues to sizzle, with record-breaking passenger flows and shifting preferences reshaping the holiday landscape, according to travel agencies. 各大旅行社表示，2026年暑期旅游正值旺季峰值，国内文旅市场热度持续高涨，出行人次创下新高，游客偏好不断转变，重塑了假日出行格局。 Travel booking platforms are reporting strong growth. Tuniu, an online travel agency, said bookings for summer tourism products had risen 17 percent year-on-year as of late July, with domestic travel bookings up more than 20 percent. On online travel platform Qunar, summer car rental bookings have increased by nearly 60 percent year-on-year. 旅游预订平台订单量大幅攀升。在线旅游服务商途牛数据显示，截至7月下旬，暑期旅游产品预订量同比上涨17%，其中国内游预订涨幅超20%；去哪儿平台暑期租车订单同比增长近60%。 To further stimulate summer consumption, more than 450 million yuan ($66 million) in travel vouchers will be distributed nationwide this summer, according to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. 文化和旅游部称，今年夏季全国将发放总额超4.5亿元（折合6600万美元）文旅消费券，进一步拉动暑期消费。 More than 30,000 culture and tourism consumption events will also be held across the country. Local authorities will expand the supply of high-quality tourism and cultural offerings, including summer retreats, coastal vacations, nighttime tourism, cruises and yachting, family trips, study tours, culinary experiences and museum visits, the ministry said. 全国各地还将举办三万余场文旅消费活动。文旅部介绍，各地持续丰富优质文旅产品供给，涵盖避暑休闲、滨海度假、夜间文旅、邮轮游艇、亲子家庭游、研学旅行、美食体验、博物馆游览等多种业态。 Family travel remains the dominant force in the summer tourism market. Parents and kids account for over 60 percent of summer travelers on Tuniu and 45 percent on Qunar. According to Qunar, the top family travel destinations this summer are Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu in Sichuan province, Kunming in Yunnan province and Guangzhou in Guangdong province. 亲子家庭游依旧是暑期旅游市场主力军。途牛平台暑期亲子游客占比超60%，去哪儿平台该比例达45%。去哪儿数据显示，今夏热门亲子目的地依次为上海、北京、四川成都、云南昆明以及广东广州。 Family travel itself is also evolving. Gone are the days when parents planned trips entirely around their children's needs. This summer, as more people born after 1995 become parents, an "everyone has a good time" approach to family vacations is becoming increasingly popular, according to Qunar. 亲子游模式也在不断迭代。过去父母一切围绕孩子需求规划行程的时代已然过去。去哪儿平台表示，随着大批95后步入父母行列，兼顾全家游玩体验、人人都能收获快乐的度假理念愈发流行。 Hotels are adapting to the trend by offering childcare services and children's clubs. On Qunar, searches for hotels with childcare services and children's programs rose 40 percent month-on-month. The five most popular search criteria for family-friendly hotels are swimming pools, children's clubs, washing machines, refrigerators and child safety facilities. 各大酒店顺应趋势，纷纷推出托管服务、儿童乐园。去哪儿平台上，带有育儿服务、儿童游乐项目的酒店搜索量环比上涨40%；亲子酒店五大热门筛选条件为：泳池、儿童俱乐部、洗衣机、冰箱、儿童安全设施。 Yan Yun, a resident of Wuhan, Hubei province, in her 30s, is traveling with her 5-year-old daughter and her brother's family — five people in all — on a nine-day road trip from Shenyang and Dalian in Liaoning province to Yantai, Shandong province, from July 25 to Aug 2. 湖北武汉30多岁市民严芸，带着5岁女儿以及哥哥一家，共计五人，开启了9天自驾之旅：7月25日至8月2日，从辽宁沈阳、大连一路前往山东烟台。 Still on the road and renting a car for the entire trip, Yan said the journey has been highly enjoyable. 全程租车自驾、旅途仍在继续的严芸坦言，这次出行体验十分美好。 She said traveling with children slows the pace and requires more negotiation, making the itinerary less predictable. 她说道，带孩子出游行程节奏会放缓，凡事需要互相商量，旅途计划不会一成不变。 Despite the slower pace, she described the journey as a unique and rewarding experience for the whole family. 虽说行程节奏舒缓，但她认为这场旅行给全家人带来了独一无二、充实美好的收获。 The growing demand for richer travel experiences has become another defining feature of this summer's tourism market. Tuniu said users are increasingly seeking in-depth and experiential travel, driven by sustained demand for emotional value and experience-based consumption. 游客对沉浸式深度体验的需求攀升，是今夏文旅市场另一大鲜明特点。途牛表示，受情感价值需求与体验式消费热潮带动，游客愈发偏爱深度体验游。 Li Pengbo, Communist Party of China secretary of the School of Tourism Sciences at Beijing International Studies University and a professor at the school, said the shift reflects a fundamental change in consumer values. 北京第二外国语学院旅游科学学院党委书记、教授李朋波表示，这种出游偏好转变，本质上是大众消费观念的更迭。 "In the era of 'check-in tourism', when travel opportunities were relatively scarce, simply having been somewhere was valuable. Photos served as proof, and social media posts announced the experience. “打卡旅游盛行的年代，出游机会有限，只要抵达过某地就极具意义；拍照留存当作凭证，再发到社交平台分享，便是旅行的全部意义。” "Today, as travel becomes more routine, the marginal value of simply having been somewhere has plummeted. How did you travel? What did you feel? Do you have a story to tell? These have become the new value anchors," Li said. 李教授讲道：“如今旅行早已常态化，单纯到此一游的边际价值大幅下降。人们更在意出行方式、内心感受、旅途故事，这些才是当下旅行新的价值核心。” That helps explain the rapid rise of experiences such as city walks, intangible cultural heritage workshops and local food tours, which offer stories to tell rather than simply places to show, he said. 这也就能解释为何城市漫步、非遗手作体验、本地美食探访等项目迅速走红：这类旅行重在收获可讲述的旅途故事，而非单纯打卡景点。 Summer also remains the peak season for both outbound and inbound travel. According to Qunar, the most popular outbound destinations include Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Indonesia and the United States. Thailand tops the list, with skill-learning trips — in which travelers learn activities such as cooking, yoga and Muay Thai — driving a 3.3-fold increase in hotel bookings in Chiang Mai. 暑期同样是出入境旅游旺季。去哪儿数据显示，热门出境目的地有泰国、韩国、马来西亚、新加坡、中国香港、印度尼西亚、美国。泰国稳居榜首，厨艺、瑜伽、泰拳等技能研学旅行热度高涨，直接带动清迈酒店预订量暴涨3.3倍。 Inbound tourism is also booming, with Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Chengdu among the most popular destinations. 入境游市场同样蓬勃发展，上海、北京、广州、成都最受外籍游客青睐。 By source market, the leading countries for inbound travelers this summer are Thailand, Canada, the US, the United Kingdom and Russia. Greek visitors to China increased 9.5 times year-on-year, the fastest growth among all source markets. Visitor numbers from Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Sweden, Finland and Mexico also more than doubled, according to Qunar. 从客源国来看，今夏来华游客主要来自泰国、加拿大、美国、英国、俄罗斯。其中希腊来华游客同比暴涨9.5倍，涨幅位居所有客源市场首位；斯里兰卡、蒙古、瑞典、芬兰、墨西哥来华人数也均实现翻倍增长。 surge /sɜːdʒ/激增，热潮 sizzle /ˈsɪzl/热度高涨，火爆 experiential /ɪkˌspɪəriˈenʃl/体验式的 plummet /ˈplʌmɪt/暴跌，大幅下降 intangible /ɪnˈtændʒəbl/无形的 outbound /ˈaʊtbaʊnd/出境的；外出的

    英语新闻丨Disconnect between Tokyo's words and deeds

    Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's latest "softened" remarks on China represent a calculated attempt at rhetorical maneuvering. If Takaichi genuinely seeks dialogue with Beijing, she must start from retracting her erroneous and dangerous remarks on the Taiwan question. Otherwise, she is merely misleading the Japanese public and the international community to deflect growing criticism. 日本首相高市早苗近期对华释放的一系列所谓缓和言论，不过是精心算计的话术博弈。倘若她真心希望同中方开展对话，首要之举便是收回其在台湾问题上发表的错误且危险言论。如若不然，她只是在蒙蔽日本民众与国际社会，借此转嫁外界日益增多的批评之声。 During the question-and-answer session at a news conference in Tokyo on Monday, Takaichi said her government had "consistently promoted a strategic mutually beneficial relationship with China and built a constructive and stable relationship". She also claimed that she looked forward to the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders' Meeting to be held in China later this year as an opportunity for dialogue. 周一，高市早苗在东京记者会问答环节称，日本政府“始终致力于推进中日战略互惠关系，构建富有建设性、稳定的双边关系”。她还表示，期待今年下半年在中国举办的亚太经合组织领导人非正式会议能够成为中日对话契机。 Such statements ring hollow when she continues to evade the reasons why relations have soured and seeks to shift the blame onto others. 然而日方始终回避中日关系恶化的根源、一味推诿责任，这番说辞听来空洞乏味、毫无诚意。 During Monday's news conference, when a TBS reporter claimed in his question that Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi "had held talks" with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Manila, Takaichi responded that "Japan was engaging with China at various levels", including through Motegi, and would continue communicating with the Chinese side. 周一记者会上，日本TBS电视台一名记者提问时称，日本外务大臣茂木敏充在马尼拉举行的东盟外长会期间同中国外长王毅举行了会谈。对此高市早苗回应称，日本正通过茂木敏充等渠道同中方开展各层级沟通，后续还将持续与中方交流。 However, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian had twice made it clear, the latest being on Monday, that no contact had taken place between the two foreign ministers in Manila. 但中国外交部发言人林剑已两次明确表态（周一刚刚再度重申），两国外长并未在马尼拉进行任何会面接触。 It is absurd for the Japanese side to continue playing word games and pretend that communication between the two sides remains normal. 日方一味玩弄文字游戏、谎称双边沟通一切如常，这种做法十分荒唐。 While dialogue between China and Japan is indeed necessary, the preconditions for that are clearly defined. 中日之间固然需要对话，但对话有着明确的前提条件。 Takaichi's remarks on the Taiwan question in November last year crossed China's red line and triggered the downward spiral in bilateral relations. Not to mention that the series of China-targeted moves her government has taken in various fields ever since have further hurt bilateral ties. 去年11月，高市早苗在台湾问题上的表态触碰中方红线，致使中日关系持续走低。此后，其内阁在诸多领域接连出台针对中国的举措，更是让双边关系雪上加霜。 While claiming to be advancing a mutually beneficial relationship and seeking a stable relationship with China, Tokyo simultaneously accelerates the revision of its national security strategy, expands military preparations targeting China, establishes quasi-alliance networks internationally against China, and tries to instigate proxy conflicts. Such moves will only further damage its credit and China-Japan relations. 日本一边嘴上宣称要推进中日互惠合作、谋求双边关系稳定，一边加紧修订国家安全战略、扩充针对中国的军备建设、在国际上搭建反华准同盟体系，还蓄意煽动代理人冲突。这类行径只会不断透支自身信誉，持续破坏中日关系。 Takaichi's relentless pursuit of a neo-militarist agenda, such as lifting the ban on the export of lethal weapons, has also contributed to her declining approval ratings, amid her failure to address the cost-of-living issues that are most concerning to ordinary Japanese people. 高市早苗执意推行新军国主义议程（例如解除杀伤性武器出口禁令），加之无力解决日本民众最为关切的生活成本难题，其民众支持率持续下滑。 Takaichi's exacerbation of both domestic and international challenges for Japan means it is only natural she should be losing public support, especially after more and more Japanese people see through her dangerous policy. 高市早苗不断让日本深陷国内外双重困境，失去民众支持实属必然；如今越来越多日本民众已然看透其危险施政方针。 Even as Takaichi claims to be repairing ties with China, Japanese media have revealed that right-wing forces in Japan are using paid recruits and large-scale AI-generated content to mass-produce disinformation, in a deliberate attempt to distort the history of Japan's aggression against China. 即便高市早苗口口声声说要修复中日关系，日本媒体却披露：日本右翼势力雇佣写手、借助人工智能大规模编造虚假信息，蓄意歪曲日本侵华历史。 To put China-Japan relations back on a stable track, the Takaichi government must abandon its neo-militarist trajectory, adopt a correct view of history and approach China's development with reason and restraint. To that end, it needs to move beyond rhetorical maneuvers. Such duplicity — saying one thing while doing another — will only continue to drain the credibility of the Takaichi government. 想要让中日关系重回稳定发展轨道，高市内阁必须摒弃新军国主义发展路线，树立正确历史观，理性克制地看待中国发展。日方不能只停留在话术层面，言行不一的两面派做法只会持续消耗本届内阁的公信力。 Tokyo has to demonstrate, through genuine action, a sincere commitment to regional peace and stability. Only then can it begin to rebuild the trust of its neighbors and the broader international community. 日本唯有拿出实实在在的行动，展现维护地区和平稳定的诚意，才有可能重新赢得周边邻国以及国际社会的信任。 rhetorical maneuvering /rɪˈtɒrɪkl məˈnuːvərɪŋ/话术博弈；言辞算计 deflect /dɪˈflekt/转移（批评、指责）；转嫁 ring hollow听上去空洞无物、缺乏诚意 neo-militarist /ˌniːəʊ ˈmɪlɪtərɪst/新军国主义的 duplicity /djuːˈplɪsəti/两面派；言行不一；口是心非 exacerbation /ɪɡˌzæsəˈbeɪʃn/加剧；恶化

    英语新闻丨美国制裁十家中国航运公司

    The US sanctioned 10 Chinese shipping companies on Wednesday that it claimed were transporting Iranian oil. 美国周三制裁了10家中国航运公司，美方称这些公司一直在运输伊朗石油。 The US State Department claimed that the companies, based in Hong Kong and the mainland, plus eight tankers, were operating against US sanctions on Iranian oil exports. 美国国务院声称，这些注册地位于中国香港和内地的企业，外加八艘油轮，其运营行为违反了美国针对伊朗石油出口实施的制裁规定。 The move effectively freezes the companies' assets in the US, and would prohibit US companies and individuals from doing business with them. 这一举措实质上会冻结这些企业在美国的资产，并且禁止美国企业和个人与它们开展业务往来。 The Foreign Ministry of China has consistently opposed illegal unilateral sanctions and "long-arm jurisdiction" that lack a basis in international law and urged the US to halt such wrongful practices. 中国外交部一贯反对没有国际法依据的非法单边制裁和“长臂管辖”，并敦促美方停止此类错误做法。 "One day, the word of the day is 'ban'. The next day, the word of the day is 'block'. In effect, they mean the same: The US seems drunk with enthusiasm in its zeal to use such unilateral measures. Yet the more the White House keeps delivering the same message, the less interest people have," Anthony Moretti, an associate professor in the Communication and Organizational Leadership Department at Robert Morris University in Pennsylvania, told China Daily. 宾夕法尼亚州罗伯特·莫里斯大学传播与组织领导力系副教授安东尼·莫雷蒂在接受《中国日报》采访时表示：“今天美方挂在嘴边的词是‘禁令’，第二天又换成‘封锁’，二者本质含义并无差别。美国近乎狂热地痴迷于动用这类单边措施。然而白宫越是反复宣扬这套说辞，外界就越感到倦怠。” "In effect, these bans and blocks offer the administration a sense of toughness, but that image is not what one international country after another thinks of the US right now. There appears to be no strategy to truly deal with these issues," Moretti said. 莫雷蒂称：“事实上，各类禁令与封锁政策只会让本届政府自我标榜态度强硬，但如今世界各国眼中的美国早已不是这般模样。美方并未拿出能够真正解决相关问题的可行方案。” Two Iranian insurance companies — Persian Gulf Marine Insurance Company and Hormuz Safe Marine Services Authority — were also sanctioned after being accused of forcing commercial vessels to purchase maritime insurance if they want safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. 两家伊朗保险公司也遭到制裁：波斯湾海上保险公司、霍尔木兹安全海事服务管理局。美方指控两家机构逼迫商船购买其海事保险，船只方可安全驶过霍尔木兹海峡。 About 20 percent of the world's oil was transported through the Strait of Hormuz before hostilities between the US and Iran began on Feb 28. That has now slowed to a mere trickle. 2月28日美伊敌对冲突爆发前，全球约20%的石油经由霍尔木兹海峡运送；如今这条航道的石油运输量已变得微乎其微。 More than 100 tankers have now been sanctioned by the Trump administration for allegedly trying to break the US blockade on Iranian ports, a move designed to hurt Iran's economy. 特朗普政府迄今已制裁逾百艘油轮，缘由是这些油轮涉嫌冲破美国对伊朗港口的封锁，美方此举旨在重创伊朗经济。 unilateral /ˌjuːnɪˈlætərəl/单边的，单方面的 jurisdiction /ˌdʒʊərɪsˈdɪkʃn/管辖权 zeal /ziːl/狂热，热忱 maritime /ˈmærɪtaɪm/海事的，海运的 hostilities /hɒˈstɪlətiz/敌对行动，战事 allegedly /əˈledʒɪdli/据称，涉嫌

    英语新闻丨Trump touts 'friendly' talks with Tehran

    Iran warns sustained naval pressure risks wider war as Oman advances strait plan 伊朗警告：持续海上施压或将引发更大规模战争，阿曼推进海峡管控方案 US President Donald Trump said on Monday that "very friendly negotiations" with Iran were underway and touted the US Navy's "good blockade", even as Tehran warned that a continuous naval blockade would amount to an expansion of the war. 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一称，美国正与伊朗进行“十分友好的谈判”，并夸赞美国海军实施的封锁举措成效良好；与此同时，德黑兰方面警告，持续海上封锁行为等同于扩大战事。 Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters accused the US on Monday of threatening Iranian vessels, commercial ships and tankers in Iran's coastal and territorial waters over the past three days as part of an "illegal naval blockade". 伊朗哈塔姆安比亚中央总部周一指责美国近三日在伊朗沿岸及领海水域，威胁伊朗船只、民用商船与油轮，实施非法海上封锁。 "We warn that this American action is considered an expansion of war in the region," it said in a statement, adding that Iran's armed forces would respond to any threat posed by the US military. 该机构在声明中表示：“我们警告，美方此举属于在中东地区扩大战争范畴”，并补充称伊朗武装部队将对美军带来的任何威胁予以回击。 Trump also told US news outlet Axios that Washington was engaged in "very deep talks" with Tehran, but warned, "If they don't work out, we will go back to very strong military action." 特朗普还向美国新闻网阿克西奥斯透露，华盛顿正与德黑兰展开深度磋商，但同时发出警告：“倘若谈判无果，美国将重启高强度军事行动。” Control of the Strait of Hormuz has remained a major point of contention since Iran and the US reached an interim memorandum of understanding last month, with tensions over the strategic waterway repeatedly fueling regional instability. 自上月美伊达成临时谅解备忘录以来，霍尔木兹海峡的管控权一直是双方主要争端焦点，这条战略水道周边的紧张局势不断加剧，持续破坏地区稳定。 Oman has proposed a joint regional mechanism for managing the strait with voluntary fees, Reuters reported on Tuesday, citing a Gulf source. 路透社周二援引海湾地区消息人士消息称，阿曼提议建立区域性联合海峡管控机制，并推行自愿缴费制度。 The proposal, which reportedly has regional backing, would prevent Iran from exercising sole control over the waterway. It is modeled on the Strait of Malacca, where users voluntarily contribute to navigation, environmental protection and search-and-rescue efforts. 据悉该提案已获得多国支持，旨在杜绝伊朗独自掌控这条航道。方案参照马六甲海峡管理模式设计：航道使用方自愿出资，用于航道通航维护、生态保护以及海上搜救工作。 Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi held phone talks with his counterparts in Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iran to discuss ways to advance "practical, fair and sustainable understandings" on navigation and supply chain flows through the strait, Oman's Foreign Ministry said on Monday. 阿曼外交部周一发布消息，阿曼外交大臣巴德尔同卡塔尔、科威特、沙特阿拉伯、埃及以及伊朗外长通电话，商议如何围绕海峡通航、供应链运输达成务实、公平且具备长效性的共识。 The developments follow weekend talks between Iranian and Omani officials on navigation security, transit arrangements and sovereign rights, according to Tehran. 伊朗方面表示，上述外交互动的背景是：上周末伊阿两国官员已就通航安全、过境安排以及国家主权事宜举行会谈。 Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting Washington for his eighth meeting with Trump since the US president began his second term, which is "more than any other international leader", according to Netanyahu's office. 另一边，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡正在出访华盛顿，这是特朗普开启第二任期以来二人第八次会面；以色列总理办公室称，会面频次远超其他各国领导人。 "We will discuss all the issues on the agenda, first and foremost, Iran," Netanyahu said before leaving for the US on Monday. "Naturally, our goal is to safeguard our security and also to expand the circle of peace around us." 内塔尼亚胡周一启程赴美前表态：“我们将商讨所有议程议题，伊朗问题位列首位。我们的核心目标是保障以色列自身安全，同时不断扩大周边和平伙伴圈层。” Sujata Ashwarya, a professor at the Centre for West Asian Studies at Jamia Millia Islamia University in New Delhi, told China Daily that Netanyahu has little influence over when Washington launches attacks and is unlikely to use the meeting to press for it. 新德里的贾米亚·米利亚伊斯兰教大学西亚研究中心教授苏雅塔·阿什瓦里亚接受《中国日报》采访时表示，内塔尼亚胡无法左右美国发动军事打击的时机，也难以借此次会晤敦促美方开战。 "His purpose is to shape the terms of whatever settlement follows, which is where Israeli absence from the negotiations has cost most," Ashwarya said. 阿什瓦里亚称：“内塔尼亚胡此行意在敲定后续任何和平协议的条款内容；以色列此前始终未能参与谈判，已经为此蒙受了诸多损失。” She explained that the interim US-Iran deal lacked any agreement on Israel's main sticking points: limits on Iran's ballistic missile program, preventing the rebuilding of its network of regional allies, and International Atomic Energy Agency inspections of nuclear sites. 她解释道，美伊临时协议并未敲定以色列最为关切的几大分歧事项：限制伊朗弹道导弹研发计划、阻止伊朗重建地区盟友网络、允许国际原子能机构核查伊朗核设施。 Ashwarya added that Netanyahu's departing remarks were "revealing". 阿什瓦里亚补充说道，内塔尼亚胡临行前的一番话颇具深意，暴露了其真实诉求。 A prime minister who measures a relationship in meetings cannot yet measure it in outcomes, she said. 她表示：一位只能依靠会面次数来衡量双边关系的总理，尚且无法用实际成果印证两国情谊。 "His stated goal also carries a second clause, expanding the circle of peace, and with Saudi normalization now attached to Washington's nuclear offer to Riyadh, that is where Israeli leverage actually sits," she said. “他宣称的目标包含两层含义，扩大和平圈层便是其二；当下沙特关系正常化事宜与美国向沙特提供核合作提议深度绑定，这恰恰是以色列手中最关键的筹码。” The two leaders want different things from the same war, she added. "Trump wants closure he can present as an achievement; Netanyahu wants Iranian recovery prevented, which is served by keeping options open." 她最后指出，两位领导人对于这场冲突抱有截然不同的诉求：特朗普希望结束争端，并将停战包装成自身执政政绩；内塔尼亚胡则意图遏制伊朗国力复苏，而保留一切军事选项最有利于实现这一目的。 tout /taʊt/大肆宣扬；吹捧；标榜 contention /kənˈtenʃn/争端；争执；争论焦点 interim /ˈɪntərɪm/临时的；过渡性的 memorandum /ˌmeməˈrændəm/备忘录 ballistic /bəˈlɪstɪk/弹道的 leverage /ˈliːvərɪdʒ/影响力；筹码；优势

    英语新闻丨长鑫存储上市受热捧 股价大幅走高

    China's largest memory chipmaker made a blockbuster debut on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's STAR Market on Monday as experts pointed to growing signs of a structural bull run in the A-share market.国内规模最大的存储芯片企业周一在上交所科创板重磅上市，业内专家表示，A 股市场结构性牛市信号愈发清晰。 In the Chinese mainland's biggest initial public stock offering in recent years, shares of ChangXin Memory Technologies, or CXMT, surged 465.82 percent to close at 49 yuan per share, propelling its market value to more than 3 trillion yuan ($443 billion) and making it the most valuable company on the A-share market on its first trading day.此次上市为内地近年来规模最大的首次公开发行。长鑫存储技术有限公司（简称长鑫存储）股价暴涨 465.82%，收盘报 49 元每股，总市值突破 3 万亿元人民币（折合 4430 亿美元），上市首日登顶 A 股市值第一。 CXMT not only overtook the United States peer Intel in market value, but also dethroned the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China as the domestic market's top-weighted company.长鑫存储市值不仅超越美国同行英特尔，还取代中国工商银行，成为 A 股市值权重最高企业。 The company raised at least $8.6 billion with the offering, priced at 8.66 yuan per share.本次发行定价 8.66 元 / 股，企业募资规模至少 86 亿美元。 The feverish trading was underscored by a record-shattering 140-billion yuan single-day turnover, reflecting a strong investor appetite for high-tech domestic champions as China presses ahead with its push for technological self-reliance.该股单日成交额高达 1400 亿元，创下历史新高，交易热度空前。当前我国持续推进科技自立自强，投资者对国产高科技龙头企业投资意愿强烈。 Wu Hao, a portfolio manager at Founder Fubon Fund, said that CXMT's IPO completes the most critical piece of a puzzle for the A-share market's memory sector.方正富邦基金组合经理吴昊表示，长鑫存储登陆 A 股，补齐了 A 股存储板块最核心的一块短板。 "It gives China its first homegrown DRAM powerhouse with global heft, sharpening the investment case across the memory value chain," he said.“长鑫存储打造出我国首家具备全球竞争力的本土动态随机存取存储龙头，整条存储产业链的投资价值都得到提升。” 他说道。 From equipment and materials to design, manufacturing and packaging, the story of CXMT is now shifting from concept validation to earnings realization, he added.他补充道，从设备材料、芯片设计、晶圆制造到封装测试，长鑫存储的发展逻辑已从技术验证阶段转向盈利兑现阶段。 DRAM, or dynamic random access memory, is the main type of memory that computers and servers use to run programs and process data in real time.DRAM 即动态随机存取存储器，是电脑、服务器实时运行程序、处理数据的主流存储芯片。 With artificial intelligence-driven demand on the rise, the market is at the starting point of a new memory cycle in which the demand for memory chips will be substantially boosted given the rollout of more AI models and applications, said experts at Sinolink Securities.国金证券专家表示，人工智能拉动存储需求持续攀升，存储行业正式开启新一轮上行周期；随着各类人工智能模型与应用落地，存储芯片需求将大幅增长。 Analysts at Huaxi Securities estimated that CXMT's market cap may stabilize at 2 to 3 trillion yuan in a base-case scenario, with upside to 4 trillion yuan under bullish assumptions.华西证券分析师测算，中性预期下，长鑫存储总市值有望稳定在 2 万亿至 3 万亿元；乐观情景下，市值有望冲击 4 万亿元。 But the real significance lies beyond the numbers. By filling the long-missing gap of a homegrown DRAM manufacturing heavyweight, the listing is set to upend the skewed valuation framework of the A-share memory segment and, in the long run, reshape the entire semiconductor sector's pricing logic, they said.分析师表示，此次上市的深层意义远不止市值数据。长鑫存储填补了我国长期缺失的本土 DRAM 制造龙头空白，将重构 A 股存储板块失衡的估值体系，长期来看重塑整个半导体行业估值定价逻辑。 Donnie Teng, a semiconductor and tech research analyst at Nomura, gave CXMT a buy rating and a 116-yuan target, projecting its global DRAM market share to rise from about 10 percent at present to 18 percent by the end of 2028.野村证券半导体科技行业分析师滕栋尼给予长鑫存储 “买入” 评级，目标价 116 元。其预测，2028 年末，长鑫存储全球 DRAM 市场份额将从当前约 10% 提升至 18%。 CXMT's annual output growth is estimated at between 40 and 45 percent as AI will drive a sevenfold surge in global memory demand by 2030.机构预测，长鑫存储年产量增速将维持在 40% 至 45%；到 2030 年，人工智能将推动全球存储芯片需求增长 7 倍。 Lu Zhe, chief economist at Soochow Securities, said that A-share investors' appetite for tech companies may pick up after CXMT's IPO.东吴证券首席经济学家陆哲表示，长鑫存储上市后，A 股市场资金对科技企业的投资热情或将回暖。 Combined with the fact that a growing number of companies have recently announced their buyback plans, investors should adopt a more optimistic outlook on the A-share market.叠加近期多家上市公司发布股份回购计划，投资者对 A 股后市可保持更为乐观的判断。 Though market volatility may be unavoidable, the odds of a market rebound are steadily rising, he said.他表示，市场短期波动虽难以避免，但整体反弹的概率正在持续提升。 In a separate development, Fang Xinghai, a former vice-chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, is under investigation for suspected serious violations of Party discipline and the law, China's top anti-graft authorities said on Friday.国家纪检监察机关周五通报，中国证券监督管理委员会原副主席方星海涉嫌严重违纪违法，目前正接受审查调查。 Experts broadly read the move as a signal that the financial anti-corruption drive is entering a deeper phase, aimed at protecting the country's financial assets while upholding market integrity and stability.业内专家普遍认为，此次查处释放信号，金融领域反腐败工作持续向纵深推进，在维护资本市场公平稳定的同时，守护国家金融资产安全。 Lian Ping, chairman of the China Chief Economist Forum, said that a new long-term stabilizing mechanism is taking shape in the Chinese capital market, featuring broader participation, early capital entry, institutional fine-tuning and long-term confidence stabilization.中国首席经济学家论坛理事长连平表示，我国资本市场全新长效稳定机制正在逐步成型，核心特征包括市场参与主体多元化、长期资金前置入市、机构体系优化调整、市场长期信心稳固。 The A-share market has entered a structural bull run with the optimizing of the market governance mechanism. With more supportive policies and capital anticipated, investors should have faith in the A-share market, as the valuation of technology companies will return to a reasonable level, said Lian.连平称，随着资本市场治理机制持续完善，A 股已步入结构性牛市。后续利好政策与增量资金有望持续落地，科技企业估值将回归合理区间，投资者应当对 A 股市场保持信心。 "New quality productive forces and technological innovation, which play pivotal roles in China's economic restructuring, need the empowerment of equity financing. This is the fundamental reason underpinning the sustained upward trajectory of the A-share market over the long run," he said.他表示：“新质生产力与科技创新是我国经济结构转型的核心抓手，二者离不开股权融资的赋能支撑。这也是 A 股市场长期具备上行基础的根本原因。” semiconductor /ˌsemikənˈdʌktə(r)/n. 半导体valuation /ˌvæljuˈeɪʃn/n. 估值；估价structural /ˈstrʌktʃərəl/adj. 结构性的innovation /ˌɪnəˈveɪʃn/n. 创新；革新
