    英语新闻丨平陆运河通航，打通中国西南出海通道

    The Ping lu Canal, a major waterway linking inland areas of Southwest China with the sea, officially opened to navigation on Wednesday in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.平陆运河，作为连通中国西南内陆与海洋的重大水运通道，今天在华南广西壮族自治区正式通航。 Spanning 134.2 kilometers, the canal connects the Xijiang River system, a significant inland shipping artery in southern China, with the Beibu Gulf, providing inland areas of Southwest China with more direct access to the sea.运河全长 134.2 公里，连通中国南方重要内河航运干线西江水系与北部湾，为中国西南内陆地区打通更为直接的出海通道。 This canal is China's first nationally planned canal since 1949, designed to grant inland waterways direct access to the sea.这是 1949 年以来中国首条国家规划运河，旨在实现内河航道直接通海。 Construction began on Aug 28, 2022, with a total investment of approximately 72.7 billion yuan ($10.83 billion). The canal is designed to accommodate vessels of up to 5,000 metric tons.工程于 2022 年 8 月 28 日开工，总投资约 727 亿元人民币（折合 108.3 亿美元）。运河可通行 5000 吨级船舶。 As a key component of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, the canal offers a shorter water route from parts of Southwest China to the coast. For some cargo, it will reduce the inland shipping distance to the sea by more than 560 kilometers.作为西部陆海新通道的关键组成部分，这条运河为中国西南部分地区提供更短的出海水运线路。部分货物的内河出海航程可缩短 560 公里以上。 The new route also provides western China with more direct access to ports on the Beibu Gulf, strengthening transport links between inland areas and overseas markets.这条新通道也让中国西部可以更便捷通达北部湾港口，强化内陆地区与海外市场的运输联系。 canal /kəˈnæl/ 运河navigation /ˌnævɪˈɡeɪʃn/ 通航；航行inland /ˈɪnlænd/ 内陆的vessel /ˈvesl/ 船舶

    视频丨平陆运河为何是世纪工程 广西明明靠海，为什么还要修一条运河去“找”海

    平陆运河为何是世纪工程 广西明明靠海，为什么还要修一条运河去“找”海？因为对广西人来说，海近在眼前；但对货物来说，西江与北部湾之间一直缺少一条直接向南的水路。为了打通这关键的134.2公里，工程要穿过群山、跨越约65米水位落差，还要让5000吨级船舶安全通行。平陆运河通航后，广西将多一条更直接的向海水路，中国西南多一种连接海洋的选择，并由北部湾进一步通往东盟和世界。134.2公里并不长，却正在重新丈量中国西南与大海、与世界之间的距离。#平陆运河 #新中国首条通江达海运河工程 #超级工程

    英语新闻丨BRICS summit gives boost to Global South

    The BRICS summit in New Delhi strengthened common ground among major Global South countries on development, cooperation, multilateralism and global governance reform amid global volatility and recurring regional conflicts, officials and analysts said as President Xi Jinping concluded a two-day visit to India on Sunday.The summit, which brought Xi and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi together for their third consecutive year of bilateral talks, also gave fresh impetus to improving relations between the two neighbors, with broader implications for regional stability and Global South cooperation, they said.Speaking to reporters upon the conclusion of Xi's visit, Foreign Minister Wang Yi described the trip as a major diplomatic engagement with Global South countries in the opening year of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period.Coming after Xi's visits to Central Asia and the Middle East earlier this month, the trip was strategically significant for advancing high-quality cooperation within the expanded BRICS grouping and strengthening Global South solidarity, Wang said.In less than 24 hours in the Indian capital, Xi attended nearly 10 events, discussed development and cooperation with BRICS leaders, and held in-depth talks with Modi to chart the course of bilateral relations, Wang said.This year marks the 20th anniversary of BRICS cooperation.At the summit, Xi said solidarity and cooperation had always been the source of the grouping's strength.He called on BRICS countries to take a leading role in innovation-driven development, safeguarding peace and stability, promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, and reforming and improving global governance.At a new historical juncture, Xi had responded to the high expectations of Global South countries by reaffirming the historic mission of BRICS cooperation and charting its future course, Wang said, noting that Xi's urging elevated the strategic importance of BRICS cooperation and bolstered members' resolve and confidence to seek strength through solidarity.Speaking at a media briefing on Saturday, Sudhakar Dalela, secretary for economic relations at India's Ministry of External Affairs, said that there was a broad convergence among BRICS leaders on the need to strengthen multilateralism and to make global governance institutions more representative, inclusive, effective and responsive to today's realities.To bolster the strength of the Global South, Xi said during the summit that Global South countries should jointly defend the rule of law in international affairs, hold high the banner of multilateralism, remain committed to a people-centered development philosophy and jointly advance security governance.He proposed five initiatives for "greater BRICS" cooperation in artificial intelligence, trade and investment facilitation, digital industry, intelligent manufacturing and talent development.Lawrence Loh, director of the Centre for Governance and Sustainability at National University of Singapore's Business School, said "greater BRICS" distinguished itself through concrete plans to benefit people in countries beyond its membership."The BRICS summit has a broader implied message for the international community — global development cannot be based on a zero-sum game mentality where development is pursued at the expense of others," he said.Swaran Singh, a former professor of international relations at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi, India, said that Xi had presented "greater BRICS" as a platform for a more multipolar, rules-based order, with a strong emphasis on practical cooperation.He said Xi's proposals overlapped significantly with India's own emphasis on technology, resilient supply chains and a stronger role for the Global South in shaping international affairs.With China set to assume BRICS' rotating presidency for the fourth time next year, Wang said the country would remain committed to, rooted in and supportive of the Global South, sharing opportunities and pursuing common development on the path toward modernization.The bilateral meeting between Xi and Modi, following their talks in the Russian city of Kazan in 2024 and Tianjin in northern China in 2025, also brought the direction of China-India relations into focus.Wang said the two leaders held candid, in-depth exchanges on strategic and long-term issues shaping bilateral relations, with their most important consensus being that China and India should be partners.Under the leaders' strategic guidance, ties have gradually emerged from a low point, with an expanding range of cooperation, record bilateral trade and more active people-to-people exchanges, Wang said.Improved relations serve the interests of the two countries' more than 2.8 billion people and are also important for strengthening Global South cooperation, he added.India's Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Saturday that the leaders welcomed the steady progress in relations since their Tianjin meeting and reaffirmed the need to take a strategic and long-term perspective on the bilateral ties."Differences should not become disputes," the statement said.Wang said that each country's development offers opportunities for the other, and that China-India cooperation has significance far beyond bilateral ties, with implications for the Global South and the world as a whole.He urged both sides to build on the hard-won improvement and implement the leaders' consensus to contribute to regional and global peace and prosperity. multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/n. 多边主义solidarity /ˌsɒlɪˈdærəti/n. 团结；同心协力multipolar /ˌmʌltiˈpəʊlə(r)/adj. 多极的bilateral /ˌbaɪˈlætərəl/adj. 双边的

    英语新闻丨中国反对日本参与联合军事演习

    A Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman on Monday voiced opposition to a joint military exercise involving Japan, the United States and Australia, as well as Japan's forward deployment of long-range offensive weapons, saying such moves increase the risk of military confrontation in the region.中国国防部发言人周一表示，反对日本、美国、澳大利亚举行联合军演，以及日本前沿部署远程进攻性武器，称此类举动会加剧地区军事对抗风险。 Jiang Bin, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, made the remarks in response to reports that Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force is conducting a joint exercise, dubbed "Oriental Shield 26", with the US and Australian armies in Hokkaido and Kagoshima from Sept 8 to 24.国防部发言人蒋斌作出上述表态，回应有关报道。报道称，日本陆上自卫队将于 9 月 8 日至 24 日，在北海道和鹿儿岛同美澳陆军举行代号为 “东方盾牌 26” 的联合演习。 The US Typhon mid-range missile system will participate in the exercise for the first time, according to reports, raising concerns among countries in the region.据报道，美国 “堤丰” 中导系统将首次参演，引发地区国家担忧。 Jiang said the exercise is being used to advance the deployment of long-range offensive weapons under the guise of a "shield", undermining the security interests of other countries and increasing the risk of an arms race and military confrontation in the region, thereby posing a serious threat to regional peace and stability.蒋斌表示，这场演习借 “盾牌” 之名推进远程进攻性武器部署，损害他国安全利益，加剧地区军备竞赛和军事对抗风险，对地区和平稳定构成严重威胁。 "We firmly oppose this," Jiang said.蒋斌说：“我们对此坚决反对。” On Aug 31, Russia lodged a protest with the Japanese embassy in Russia over the joint military exercise.8 月 31 日，俄罗斯就此次联合军演向日本驻俄使馆提出抗议。 Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sept 1 that deploying such weapons on Japanese territory, including under the pretext of military exercises, would threaten Russia's security and was "absolutely unacceptable" to Moscow. Russia would take countermeasures to ensure its national defense and security, she said.俄罗斯外交部发言人玛丽亚・扎哈罗娃 9 月 1 日表示，以军演等为借口在日本领土部署此类武器将威胁俄罗斯安全，俄方对此 “完全不能接受”。她说，俄罗斯将采取反制措施，保障本国国防与安全。 China has also repeatedly expressed opposition to the deployment of US mid-range missile systems in Asian countries.中方也多次反对美国在亚洲国家部署中导系统。 Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a news conference in May that China firmly opposes such deployments and has repeatedly expressed its concerns over the issue.中国外交部发言人郭嘉昆在 5 月的记者会上表示，中方坚决反对此类部署，并已就此多次表达关切。 The Typhon missile system is a strategically offensive weapon that undermines the legitimate security interests of other countries, threatens regional strategic security and increases the risk of military confrontation and an arms race, Guo said.郭嘉昆称，“堤丰” 导弹系统属于战略性进攻武器，损害他国正当安全利益，威胁地区战略安全，加大军事对抗与军备竞赛风险。 "It does nothing to promote regional peace and stability and is detrimental in every respect," Guo said.郭嘉昆表示：“这无助于维护地区和平稳定，百害而无一利。” Jiang also pointed out that Japan has repeatedly breached the principles of its pacifist constitution and its exclusively defense-oriented policy by developing long-range offensive weapons and stepping up its military activities overseas.蒋斌同时指出，日本研发远程进攻性武器、加紧海外军事活动，多次突破和平宪法原则与专守防卫政策。 He criticized Japan's military expansion as moving toward a new form of militarism, saying it caters to the interests of countries outside the region while encouraging bloc confrontation and increasing tensions.他批评日本军事扩张朝着新型军国主义方向发展，迎合域外国家利益，煽动集团对抗，加剧紧张局势。 "Any move that fuels Japan's military ambitions will only plunge the region into a dangerous vortex and will eventually bring harm to the country itself," Jiang said.蒋斌说：“任何助长日本军事野心的举动，只会将地区拖入危险漩涡，最终反噬其自身。” He urged the countries concerned to respect the security concerns of other countries, correct their erroneous practices and contribute positively to regional peace and stability through concrete actions.他敦促有关国家尊重他国安全关切，纠正错误做法，以实际行动为地区和平稳定发挥积极作用。 spokesman /ˈspəʊksmən/n. 发言人confrontation /ˌkɒnfrʌnˈteɪʃn/n. 对抗militarism /ˈmɪlɪtərɪzəm/n. 军国主义vortex /ˈvɔːteks/n. 漩涡

    英语新闻丨卫健委主任：我国持续推进生育友好政策

    China will continue to have a relatively abundant workforce, and sustained efforts will be made to foster a fertility-friendly society, Health Minister Lei Haichao said on Monday.国家卫生健康委主任雷海潮周一表示，我国劳动力供给总量仍将保持相对充裕，将持续推进生育友好型社会建设。 Although China's total population has declined for four consecutive years, the country is still home to 1.405 billion people and will remain a major population power for years to come, Lei said during a news conference held by the State Council Information Office.雷海潮在国务院新闻办公室举行的新闻发布会上说，虽然我国总人口已连续四年下降，但人口总量仍有 14.05 亿，未来较长时期仍将保持人口大国地位。 With more than 10 million students enrolling in colleges and universities each year — a sign of expanding access to higher education, Lei said the nation is building a growing workforce of highly skilled workers.雷海潮表示，我国每年高校入学新生超千万，体现高等教育普及水平持续提升，正在持续壮大高技能人才队伍。 Meanwhile, the annual number of newborns has held at about 8 million, despite an overall downward trend.与此同时，虽然新生儿数量整体呈下行趋势，但每年新生儿数量稳定在 800 万左右。 "Compared with other developed and developing countries, the number of nations with this level of births is still very small, so China will still have a relatively ample labor force in the future," he said.他说：“对比其他发达国家和发展中国家，能维持这一出生规模的国家为数不多，我国未来劳动力供给仍相对充裕。” Lei stressed that China will continue to roll out fertility-friendly measures to ease the burden of giving birth to, raising, and educating children.雷海潮强调，我国将持续出台生育支持举措，减轻生育、养育、教育负担。 So far, more than 30 million families have benefited from the fertility subsidy policy launched last year.自去年出台生育补贴政策以来，已有超过 3000 万户家庭从中受益。 Over the next five years, he said more efforts will be made to integrate nursery and kindergarten care services and to support communities and employers in setting up nursery care facilities, so that residents can access such services more conveniently and at an affordable price.他表示，未来五年，我国将进一步推进托幼一体化服务建设，支持社区和用人单位兴办托育设施，让群众能够便捷、普惠地获得托育服务。 It is also important to promote a positive view on marriage and fertility, he added.他补充说，积极倡导婚恋观、生育观同样重要。 workforce /ˈwɜːkfɔːs/n. 劳动力，劳动人口fertility /fəˈtɪləti/n. 生育；生育率consecutive /kənˈsekjətɪv/adj. 连续的nursery /ˈnɜːsəri/n. 托儿所，托育机构

    英语新闻丨北京出台全市无人机管控新规

    Beijing has tightened restrictions on drones, prohibiting the possession and storage of drones and their core components across the city starting Nov 15 under a revised regulation adopted by the city's lawmakers.北京收紧无人机管控。根据市人大审议通过的修订条例，自 11 月 15 日起，全市范围内禁止持有、存放无人机及其核心零部件。 The revised regulation, passed by the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, tightens controls on drones compared with the previous version, which took effect on May 1, as authorities move to strengthen airspace security in the capital.北京市人大常委会审议通过该修订条例。为强化首都空域安全，新版条例相比 5 月 1 日施行的旧条例，进一步收紧无人机管控措施。 In line with the new rules, the entire administrative area of Beijing will be designated as controlled airspace for unmanned aircraft. Flights by unmanned aircraft will be prohibited across the city unless otherwise permitted under relevant regulations.按照新规，北京市全部行政区域划定为无人机管控空域。未经相关法规许可，全市范围内禁止无人机飞行。 The possession and storage of drones and their core components will also be prohibited. Individuals and organizations will also be barred from transporting or carrying drones and their core components into Beijing.条例同时禁止持有、存放无人机及其核心零部件。任何个人、单位不得运输、携带无人机及其核心零部件进入北京。 Exceptions will apply to special-purpose flights. Organizations involved in counterterrorism, public order, emergency rescue and disaster relief, major events, teaching, scientific research and manufacturing may conduct flights in accordance with relevant national regulations.专项飞行活动除外。反恐、维护公共秩序、应急抢险救灾、重大活动保障、教学、科研以及生产制造等相关单位，可依照国家有关规定开展飞行活动。 Such organizations must establish safety management systems, clearly assign management responsibilities and take measures to prevent safety incidents, according to the revised regulation.修订条例规定，上述单位应当建立安全管理制度，明确管理责任，落实安全防控措施，防范安全事故发生。 Beijing began implementing its drone management regulation on May 1, together with rules requiring authorities to verify information on drones. The verification work, which included registration of existing devices, was completed on July 31, according to the authorities.北京市原无人机管理条例于 5 月 1 日起实施，配套无人机信息核验工作同步开展，其中包含存量设备登记，该项核验已于 7 月 31 日完成。 The current information-verification rules will cease to apply when the revised regulation takes effect.修订条例正式施行后，现行信息核验相关规定不再适用。 To help residents dispose of drones already in Beijing before the Nov 15 deadline, authorities have opened several channels in addition to allowing owners to take their devices out of the city themselves.为方便市民在 11 月 15 日截止日期前处置已在京的无人机，有关部门开辟多条处置渠道，机主也可自行将设备携离本市。 Drone owners can sell their aircraft to buyback companies certified by district-level governments or hand them over to government-designated recycling facilities. In either case, they can receive subsidies ranging from 100 yuan ($14.9) to 3,000 yuan per drone, in addition to the money received from selling the device.机主可将无人机出售给区级政府认定的回收企业，或移交政府指定回收机构。两种方式下，除设备出售所得款项外，每台无人机还可获得 100 元（14.9 美元）至 3000 元不等补贴。 Another option is to send drones by China Post's EMS service to an address outside Beijing between Sept 12 and Nov 14, and the delivery fee will be waived after the equipment is verified.另一种处置方式：9 月 12 日至 11 月 14 日期间，可通过中国邮政 EMS 将无人机寄往北京以外地区，设备核验通过后免收快递费。 Residents who choose to take their drones out of Beijing themselves must do so by Nov 15, using transportation such as civil aviation, rail or road services.选择自行携机离京的市民，须在 11 月 15 日前，通过民航、铁路、公路等交通方式完成转移。 The revised regulation also establishes a citywide ban on drone storage. Unless otherwise provided by law or regulation, no organization or individual may establish a warehouse, temporary storage site or other storage facility for unmanned aircraft within Beijing.修订条例同时在全市范围内禁止存放无人机。法律法规另有规定的除外，任何单位和个人不得在本市设立无人机仓库、临时存放点等储存场所。 Public security authorities will conduct inspections and take legal action against those who fail to move their drones out of Beijing by the deadline or illegally store them, according to the authorities.公安部门将开展巡查，对逾期未移出、违规存放无人机的相关主体依法处置。 Beijing said it will continue routine controls over the city's airspace and provide policy guidance and services to help residents comply with the new requirements.北京方面表示，本市将持续开展空域常态化管控，并提供政策指引与配套服务，引导市民遵守新规。 drone /drəʊn/n. 无人机unmanned /ʌnˈmænd/adj. 无人的regulation /ˌreɡjuˈleɪʃn/n. 条例，法规subsidy /ˈsʌbsədi/n. 补贴，补助金

    英语新闻丨习近平提出五项举措，助力金砖合作提质增效

    President Xi Jinping unveiled five initiatives — covering the areas of artificial intelligence, trade and investment facilitation, digital industry, smart manufacturing, and talent development — to deepen practical cooperation among BRICS countries and bolster the collective strength of the Global South.Addressing the second session of the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi as he wrapped up his two-day participation in the gathering on Sunday, Xi stressed that a stronger foundation for cooperation was essential for the expanded grouping to achieve greater progress.He urged BRICS countries to leverage their close ties with emerging markets and Global South countries, pursuing open cooperation for mutual benefit while safeguarding stable and smooth industrial and supply chains.They should foster a larger integrated market, build incubators for innovation, upgrade traditional industries, develop emerging industries and deploy future industries, Xi added.China will be a pioneer in establishing a BRICS AI open source community, and it will support cooperation in developing and applying large language models, hold specialized AI seminars and training courses, and build an open AI ecosystem, Xi said.He proposed a BRICS special economic zone partnership under which countries could set up an intelligent portal, coordinate policies and build a new frontier for open development. China will also host the BRICS Forum on Trade in Services next year to cultivate new drivers of economic and trade cooperation.Furthermore, China will push for the establishment of a BRICS digital ecosystem cloud platform and conduct digital skills training, technological exchanges and industrial alignment to jointly advance the digital economy, Xi said.He expressed the country's readiness to assist fellow BRICS countries in building smart factories and developing standards and norms, jointly promoting manufacturing transformation and upgrading.Xi also proposed a BRICS engineer cultivation alliance for the joint development of engineers and mutual recognition of competency standards. China will launch a BRICS youth exchange program for scientific and technological innovation to cultivate more high-caliber talent.Noting that this year marks the launch of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), Xi said China will continue to pursue high-quality development, expand high-standard opening-up, implement the Global Development Initiative and advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation to share opportunities and prosper together with other countries.Liu Ying, a researcher at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China, said that as BRICS marks its 20th anniversary and moves toward its next "golden decade", China's five initiatives respond to the shared development needs of BRICS and the wider Global South.China has offered not just directions for cooperation, but also concrete platforms and mechanisms to implement it, she said, helping BRICS countries expand their international voice while strengthening their own development foundations.Openness and inclusiveness in AI especially matter, Liu said, as open-source cooperation, large-model development and talent training can help Global South countries access and apply AI as a foundational resource for national development — an effort that China's strengths in technology, industry and application can help make possible.China is practicing "developmental multilateralism" — combining capacity building with real development outcomes to help the Global South participate more fully in the new wave of technological and industrial change, and ultimately pushing the global system toward a fairer, more inclusive and balanced order, Liu added.As the Global South, with its collective rise, has become a key driver of world multipolarity, Xi said that to bring stability to the world and make it a better place, BRICS countries must seize the historical initiative, rally the Global South, be an active, stabilizing and positive force in international affairs, and advance the well-being of all humanity.He stressed that Global South countries should jointly defend the rule of law in international affairs, safeguarding sovereign equality, noninterference in internal affairs and the peaceful settlement of disputes, to ensure that international law and international rules are applied to all, free from double standards.Xi emphasized the need to uphold multilateralism and the authority and role of the United Nations, and to support multilateral institutions in advancing reform and increasing efficiency. World Trade Organization reform should proceed in the right direction, while the international financial architecture must be reformed and improved to increase developing countries' representation and voice, he added.Global South countries should remain committed to a people-centered development philosophy and strive to deliver on the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, he said.Addressing shared challenges, Xi said that Global South countries should work together to strengthen security governance, tackle traditional and nontraditional threats, and improve global climate governance.BRICS draws its growing influence from an inclusive approach that respects different development paths and promotes shared economic gains, said Lan Qingxin, director of the BRICS Research Center at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing.
