    英语新闻丨中美贸易回暖提振全球经济前景

    Analysts warn bilateral relationship remains subject to structural challenges 分析师警示:双边关系仍面临结构性难题 Renewed momentum in China-United States economic ties has helped boost confidence in the global economy while supporting steadier and more resilient bilateral trade in the months ahead, said market watchers and business leaders. 市场观察人士与商界领袖表示,中美经贸关系重拾增长动能,不仅提振全球经济信心,也将推动未来数月双边贸易朝着更平稳、更具韧性的方向发展。 The upbeat remarks came after official General Administration of Customs figures showed a sharp turnaround in bilateral trade in goods. After slumping 18.7 percent year-on-year in the first quarter, China-US goods trade rebounded to post a 13.7 percent year-on-year gain in the second quarter. 此番乐观判断源于中国海关总署官方数据显示,中美货物贸易额出现大幅反转。一季度中美货物贸易同比下滑18.7%,二季度强势反弹,同比增长13.7%。 This trade recovery aligns with fresh bilateral moves to stabilize economic relations. The Ministry of Commerce confirmed that during the latest round of China-US economic and trade consultations held in May, the two sides reached an agreement to negotiate a reciprocal tariff cut framework via a newly established trade council. The deal would cover goods valued at $30 billion or more from each country. 此次贸易回暖,与中美双方近期为稳定经贸关系推出的一系列新举措相呼应。商务部证实,5月新一轮中美经贸磋商期间,两国达成共识,将依托新设立的贸易委员会磋商互惠降税框架,双方各有价值300亿美元及以上商品纳入该框架。 Although neither side has released a final product list, trade analysts expect the tariff cuts to cover textiles, footwear, consumer goods, electronic components, industrial machinery parts, chemicals, plastics and agricultural products, while excluding sectors such as advanced semiconductors and strategic resources. 尽管双方尚未公布最终商品清单,但贸易分析师预测,本次降税范围将涵盖纺织、鞋履、消费品、电子元器件、工业机械零部件、化工品、塑料制品与农产品,先进半导体、战略资源等领域不在降税范围内。 Diao Daming, a professor of international relations at the Beijing-based Renmin University of China, said recent progress in the China-US economic and trade talks has helped bolster business confidence across the world and is creating conditions for more predictable trade and investment. 中国人民大学国际关系教授刁大明表示,近期中美经贸谈判取得的进展提振了全球企业信心,为贸易和投资营造出更稳定可预期的环境。 Yu Xinding, a professor of international trade at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said that once implemented, the new tariff framework will support further growth in China-US trade while setting a positive example for resolving trade disputes through dialogue. 对外经济贸易大学国际贸易教授余心玎称,这套全新关税框架落地后,将进一步拉动中美贸易增长,同时为各国通过对话化解贸易争端树立正面范本。 "Faced with multifaceted costs triggered by tariffs, this move offers a practical solution to help reverse trade distortions created by previous tariffs," said Yu. "The initiative goes far beyond lowering tariffs on selected goods. Equal consultations will improve market access, ease corporate burdens and restore bilateral trade to market-oriented, mutually beneficial dynamics." 余心玎表示:“关税带来多重成本压力,此次举措提供了切实可行的方案,能够扭转过往关税造成的贸易扭曲。该举措的意义远不止下调部分商品关税,平等磋商将拓宽市场准入、减轻企业负担,让双边贸易回归市场化、互利共赢的状态。” Though modest relative to overall China-US trade, the planned tariff relief targets products with clear market demand and practical benefits, delivering early, verifiable results that can strengthen confidence in two-way economic ties, she added. 她补充道,尽管本次降税规模相较于中美整体贸易体量不算庞大,但降税商品均为市场需求旺盛、具备实际利好的品类,能够快速落地可见成效,巩固双方对经贸往来的信心。 While the recent rebound in bilateral trade points to improving momentum, analysts cautioned that the relationship remains subject to structural challenges and external uncertainties, despite the progress made through dialogue. 尽管近期双边贸易回暖释放向好信号,但分析师提醒,即便对话取得一定进展,中美关系仍存在结构性难题与外部不确定性。 Ma Xue, a researcher at the Institute of American Studies at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, said that strategic competition between China and the US in high-tech sectors will continue to intensify, while tighter controls on semiconductors, artificial intelligence and critical minerals, alongside geopolitical tensions, could weigh on the bilateral trade climate. 中国现代国际关系研究院美国研究所研究员马雪表示,中美在高科技领域的战略竞争或将持续加剧,半导体、人工智能、关键矿产领域管控趋严,叠加地缘政治紧张局势,都可能对双边贸易环境造成负面影响。 "Overall, institutionalized consultations and differentiated management of disputes could help offset short-term political disruptions," Ma said. "Although disagreements and periodic bargaining will persist, structured cooperation, accompanied by occasional friction in specific sectors, is likely to become the new normal in bilateral economic ties." 马雪称:“总体而言,制度化磋商、差异化处理分歧能够对冲短期政治层面带来的冲击。双方分歧与阶段性博弈仍会存在,但常态化合作、局部领域偶有摩擦或将成为中美经贸关系的新常态。” Data from the General Administration of Customs also showed that China-US goods trade reached 2 trillion yuan ($295 billion) in the first half of the year, accounting for 7.9 percent of China's total foreign trade. 海关总署数据显示,今年上半年中美货物贸易总额达2万亿元人民币(折合2950亿美元),占中国外贸总额的7.9%。 James Zimmerman, chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, said he hopes this year will be a productive one for China-US relations, noting that current China-US trade policy is increasingly characterized by a "managed trade" approach centered on reciprocity. 中国美国商会主席吉莫曼表示,他期待今年成为中美关系富有成效的一年,并指出当下中美贸易政策愈发呈现以互惠为核心的“管控型贸易”特征。 Saying that engagement is in the best interest of the US, Zimmerman reiterated that China brings real value to US consumers and benefits Washington's long-term economic interests. 吉莫曼表示,对华接触符合美国的核心利益,他重申中国能为美国消费者创造实际价值,契合美国长远经济利益。 Similar views were expressed by Jim Sutter, CEO of the US Soybean Export Council. "The recent announcement on tariff reductions is a positive signal. We hope the commitments made during the talks will soon be translated into concrete policy measures," he said. 美国大豆出口协会首席执行官吉姆·萨特也持相同观点。他表示:“此次降税相关公告释放积极信号,我们希望磋商达成的共识能够尽快转化为落地政策。” Such optimism also resonates with US industrial companies stepping up long-term investment and innovation in China. 不少加大在华长期投资与创新布局的美国工业企业,也同样抱有这份乐观态度。 Lin Chunmei, president and general manager of Corning China, said that as AI reshapes the global industrial landscape and drives demand for advanced materials and computing infrastructure, the US industrial materials manufacturer has evolved from technology introduction to collaborative innovation in China. 康宁中国区总裁兼总经理林春梅表示,人工智能重塑全球产业格局,高端材料与算力基础设施需求激增,这家美国工业材料企业在华发展模式已从单纯引进技术,转变为协同创新。 Corning will deepen local innovation, support next-generation computing infrastructure and contribute to the upgrading of China's industrial ecosystem, she said. 她表示,康宁将深化本土创新研发,助力下一代算力基础设施建设,为中国产业体系升级贡献力量。 The company's confidence also comes as China continues to strengthen its position in advanced manufacturing and high-tech exports. 康宁的信心同样源于中国在高端制造、高新技术出口领域竞争力持续提升。 In the first half of 2026, the country's exports of integrated circuits surged 88.7 percent year-on-year, while exports of electronic components rose 62.6 percent, statistics from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed on Monday. 工信部周一发布数据显示,2026年上半年,我国集成电路出口同比大增88.7%,电子元器件出口同比上涨62.6%。 reciprocal /rɪˈsɪprəkl/互惠的,对等的 distortion /dɪˈstɔːʃn/扭曲,畸变 structural /ˈstrʌktʃərəl/结构性的 bilateral /ˌbaɪˈlætərəl/双边的 geopolitical /ˌdʒiːəʊpəˈlɪtɪkl/地缘政治的 integrated circuits /ˈɪntɪɡreɪtɪd ˈsɜːkɪts/集成电路

    英语新闻丨北方提前入汛,洪涝风险加剧

    Northern China is entering its most critical flood-control period, with meteorologists warning that an early rainy season and increasingly volatile weather patterns could heighten the risk of severe flooding in the weeks ahead. 我国北方已进入防汛关键期,气象专家提醒,汛期提前、天气形势愈发多变,未来数周发生严重洪涝灾害的风险将有所上升。 The rainy season in North China officially began on July 10, eight days earlier than the long-term average, according to the National Climate Center. 国家气候中心数据显示,华北地区7月10日正式入汛,较常年平均时间提前8天。 "The rainy season this year has arrived both early and with remarkable intensity," said Chen Lijuan, chief forecaster at the center. 国家气候中心首席预报员陈丽娟表示:“今年汛期不仅来得早,降雨强度也十分突出。” She said an active Northeast China cold vortex — a persistent upper-level weather system that often triggers prolonged rainfall — has contributed to unusually heavy precipitation across northeastern and northern China since June. 她介绍,东北冷涡活动频繁,这一持久的高空天气系统极易引发持续性降雨,自6月以来,我国东北、华北地区降水便异常偏多。 The rainy season in Northeast China began on June 4, nine days earlier than average. Since June 1, rainfall has been well above normal across most of the region and North China. 东北6月4日入汛,较常年提前9天。6月1日至今,东北大部、华北地区降雨量均显著高于常年均值。 The early onset follows months of exceptionally heavy rainfall that have already left much of the region saturated before the traditional peak flood season. 早在主汛期来临前,连续数月的强降雨已让北方大部分区域土壤含水量趋于饱和,如今汛期再度提前到来。 From April 1 to July 12, average precipitation across northern China reached 228.6 millimeters, 23.1 percent above the long-term average and the highest for the same period in the past decade, the center said. 国家气候中心称,4月1日至7月12日,北方地区平均降水量达228.6毫米,较常年同期偏多23.1%,为近十年同期最高值。 In North China, average rainfall totaled 288.4 mm, 62.5 percent above normal and the highest for the same period since records began to be maintained. 其中华北地区平均降雨量288.4毫米,较常年偏多62.5%,创下有气象记录以来同期降水极值。 Hebei province and Tianjin both recorded their wettest April 1 to July 12 period since meteorological records began in 1961. 河北、天津两地4月1日至7月12日的降雨量,均为1961年有完整气象观测以来同期最高。 Large parts of Hebei have received more than 50 percent above-average rainfall, while some eastern areas of the province recorded as much as 12 times their normal precipitation. Much of Liaoning province has also received more than twice its normal rainfall. 河北大部地区降水较常年偏多五成以上,省内东部局部区域降雨量更是达到常年同期的12倍;辽宁大部分区域降雨量也达到常年两倍以上。 The unusually wet start has heightened concerns during the main flood season, which runs roughly from July 16 to Aug 15 and is traditionally the most challenging period for flood control. 降水异常偏多的前期气候背景,让主汛期防汛压力陡增。主汛期大致为7月16日至8月15日,历来是防汛工作难度最大的阶段。 About one-third of North China's annual precipitation typically falls during those four weeks. 华北全年约三分之一的降水都会集中在这四周内。 Forecasters said the saturated ground could leave many river basins and mountainous areas more vulnerable to flooding if additional rounds of intense rainfall develop. 预报人员表示,土壤含水量已趋于饱和,若后续再遭遇多轮强降雨,各大流域与山区将极易发生洪涝。 The center forecasts above-normal precipitation across most of northern China during the upcoming flood-control period, with rainfall expected to exceed seasonal averages by 20 to 50 percent in parts of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Liaoning, Heilongjiang and the Inner Mongolia autonomous region. 国家气候中心预测,本轮防汛期北方大部降水仍将偏多,北京、天津、河北、辽宁、黑龙江、内蒙古部分地区降雨量较常年同期偏多20%至50%。 Meteorologists warned that some areas could experience extreme downpours capable of triggering floods, flash floods and landslides. 气象专家警示,局部地区将出现特大暴雨,极易诱发洪水、山洪以及山体滑坡。 "The background of climate warming is making weather more extreme and more complex, while climate patterns themselves are changing," said Chen Tao, chief forecaster at the China Meteorological Administration. 国家气象中心首席预报员陈涛表示:“气候变暖大背景下,天气极端性、复杂性持续加剧,各类气候模态也在发生变化。” "As a result, monitoring and forecasting have become more difficult. High-impact extreme weather events are occurring more frequently, often exceeding historical experience and traditional design standards," he said. 他说:“这也给监测预报工作带来更大挑战,高影响极端天气频发,其强度时常突破历史纪录与传统设防标准。” Chen said the interaction between global warming and large-scale climate patterns such as El Nino means weather disasters are increasingly occurring simultaneously across multiple regions rather than as isolated events. 陈涛指出,全球变暖叠加厄尔尼诺等大尺度气候系统的共同作用,气象灾害不再局限于单一区域,多地同步受灾的情况愈发多见。 In response, flood prevention efforts will focus on strengthening weather monitoring and early warning systems in northern river basins while improving coordination among meteorological agencies, the administration said. 国家气象局表示,针对这一形势,防汛工作将重点强化北方流域气象监测预警体系,完善各气象部门联动协同机制。 Authorities have been urged to intensify monitoring during high-risk periods, such as overnight heavy rainfall, and strengthen emergency coordination for flash floods, geological disasters and flooding along small and medium-sized rivers. 各地主管部门被要求加强夜间暴雨等高风险时段的监测值守,完善山洪、地质灾害、中小河流洪水的应急联动处置机制。 Residents are advised to pay close attention to weather alerts and avoid entering mountainous areas and river valleys during and immediately after heavy rain, as rapidly developing flash floods are among the deadliest hazards during North China's rainy season. 气象部门提醒市民密切关注气象预警,暴雨期间及雨后切勿进入山区、河谷地带;突发性山洪是华北汛期致死风险最高的灾害类型之一。 volatile /ˈvɒlətaɪl/多变的 precipitation /prɪˌsɪpɪˈteɪʃn/降水量 saturated /ˈsætʃəreɪtɪd/饱和的 landslide /ˈlændslaɪd/山体滑坡 simultaneous /ˌsɪmlˈteɪniəs/同步发生的 geological /ˌdʒiːəˈlɒdʒɪkl/地质的

    英语新闻丨C919即将执飞首条国际定期航线

    The C919, China's domestically developed narrowbody passenger jet, will begin its first scheduled international commercial service next month, a step industry experts said will test the aircraft's ability to operate beyond domestic markets and help build confidence for wider overseas expansion. 中国自主研发的窄体客机C919将于下月开启首条国际定期商业航线。业内专家表示,此举将检验该机境外运营能力,也有助于为后续更大规模海外拓展积累信心。 The daily round-trip service, operated by Air China, will connect Beijing Capital International Airport and Ulaanbaatar's Chinggis Khaan International Airport in Mongolia from Aug 12, the airline said. 国航方面透露,这条每日往返航线将于8月12日起通航,往返北京首都国际机场与蒙古国乌兰巴托成吉思汗国际机场。 According to the schedule, outbound flight CA723 will depart Beijing at 3 pm Beijing time and arrive in Ulaanbaatar at 5:15 pm local time. The return flight, CA724, will leave Ulaanbaatar at 6:30 pm local time and arrive in Beijing at 8:35 pm Beijing time. 根据航班计划,出境航班CA723北京时间15时从北京起飞,当地时间17时15分抵达乌兰巴托;返程航班CA724当地时间18时30分从乌兰巴托起飞,北京时间20时35分落地北京。 The route marks the first time the C919, manufactured by Commercial Aircraft Corp of China, will enter a regular international commercial passenger aviation market. 该航线是中国商飞制造的C919客机首次投入常态化国际客运商业运营。 Previously, the aircraft has operated mainly on Chinese mainland routes, as well as services connecting the mainland with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. China Eastern Airlines launched the aircraft on scheduled flights between Shanghai and Hong Kong in January 2025, while Air China began regular C919 services between Beijing and Hong Kong in November. 在此之前,C919主要执飞中国大陆境内航线,以及内地往来香港特别行政区的航班。东方航空已于2025年1月用该机开通沪港定期航线,国航则在同年11月开通京港C919常态化航班。 "Choosing Ulaanbaatar as the first regular international destination is not a move to lower the entry barrier or test the waters," said Zhu Keli, founding director of the China Institute of New Economy. 中国新经济研究院创始院长朱克力表示:“选择乌兰巴托作为首条国际定期航线目的地,并非为了降低准入门槛、浅尝辄止。” Zhu said the decision reflected a combination of factors including aviation cooperation between China and Mongolia, airworthiness cooperation arrangements, operational safety and route economics. 朱克力称,这一决定是多重因素综合考量的结果,涵盖中蒙航空合作、适航协作机制、运营安全以及航线经济效益。 "China and Mongolia have maintained stable civil aviation cooperation, with a relatively mature framework for airworthiness cooperation," Zhu said. "The airport environment is relatively straightforward, the flight distance is moderate and the aircraft can complete a round trip within a day, allowing domestic technical support to respond quickly if operational issues arise." 朱克力表示:“中蒙民航合作长期稳定,双方拥有较为成熟的适航协作体系。当地机场运行环境简单,航程适中,客机可当日往返,一旦出现运行故障,国内技术保障力量能快速响应处置。” The route also has established business and tourism demand, making it suitable for regular commercial operations rather than serving only as a demonstration flight, Zhu said. 他表示,该航线拥有稳定的商务、旅游客流需求,适合常态化商业运营,而非仅作为示范航班。 He said the first international route is aimed at validating the full process of cross-border operations, including overseas maintenance support, international air traffic coordination and customs procedures. 他表示,首条国际航线的核心目的是完整验证跨境运营全流程,包括境外维修保障、国际空管协调、海关通关流程等环节。 "Ulaanbaatar is more like a low-risk practical training ground where the C919 can accumulate real overseas operating data and build a replicable model for future international expansion," Zhu said. 朱克力称:“乌兰巴托更像一处低风险实操试验场,C919可以在这里积累真实海外运营数据,为后续国际化拓展打造一套可复制的运营模式。” Guo Jia, a civil aviation expert and professor at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies' South China Business College, said safety considerations were the primary factor behind the selection of the first international destination. 广东外语外贸大学南国商学院民航专家郭佳教授表示,安全考量是选定首个国际通航点的首要因素。 He said Air China's previous experience operating the C909 regional jet to Ulaanbaatar, along with the airline's assessment of airport handling and maintenance capabilities, also supported the route choice. 他介绍,国航此前长期使用ARJ21支线客机执飞乌兰巴托航线,同时航司对当地机场地面保障、维修维护能力进行过充分评估,这也助推了这条航线落地。 For the Chinese aviation industry, the significance of the route extends beyond the flight itself, experts said. 专家指出,对中国航空产业而言,这条航线的意义远不止航班运营本身。 "Previously, C919 operations were mainly based on China's domestic airspace and supporting infrastructure," Zhu said. "This scheduled international route means the aircraft is entering a regular commercial passenger aviation system between countries." 朱克力表示:“此前C919的运行完全依托国内空域与配套保障体系,这条国际定期航线,标志着该机正式进入跨国常态化商业客运体系。” The operation will help establish overseas support capabilities, including maintenance cooperation, spare parts arrangements and international operating procedures, Zhu said. 朱克力称,此次通航将助力搭建境外配套保障体系,涵盖维修合作、备件储备、跨境运营流程等多个方面。 Guo said international expansion would require more than aircraft performance. "Aircraft sales, international operations and market expansion all need to comply with the airworthiness standards of different countries and regions," Guo said, adding that broader international communication and certification efforts would be necessary. 郭佳表示,国际化拓展不只是考验飞机性能。“飞机销售、跨境运营、市场开拓都必须符合各国各地区的适航标准,还需要开展大量国际沟通与适航认证工作。” Guo added that overseas maintenance, aircraft support and route support capabilities would be among the key challenges for international operations. 郭佳补充,境外维修、整机后勤保障、航线配套能力,将是该机开展国际运营的核心难点。 Looking ahead, experts expect the C919's international expansion to be gradual. "C919's internationalization will not follow an aggressive model of rapidly launching a large number of routes," Zhu said. 展望未来,专家认为C919的国际化进程将循序渐进。朱克力表示:“C919不会采取激进模式,短时间内密集开通大量国际航线。” After validating operations in Ulaanbaatar, the aircraft will likely expand first into short-haul international markets in Central Asia and Southeast Asia, allowing it to accumulate experience under different operating conditions, Zhu said. 朱克力表示,在乌兰巴托航线完成运营验证后,C919大概率会先拓展中亚、东南亚短途国际市场,在多样运行环境中积累运营经验。 "The priority is to complete the transition from zero to one — making the first international route operate safely and accumulating experience," Guo said. "Only after establishing overseas safety operation and maintenance standards should the C919 move from one route to multiple routes. 郭佳称:“当下首要任务是完成从0到1的突破,保障首条国际航线安全运行、沉淀实操经验。只有建立成熟的境外安全运营与维修标准后,C919才能从单条航线拓展至多条国际航线。” "Airworthiness certification is indeed one of the biggest barriers for the C919 entering mainstream European and US markets," Zhu said. 朱克力表示:“适航认证,确实是C919进入欧美主流市场最大阻碍之一。” He said certification by authorities such as the European Union Aviation Safety Agency and the US Federal Aviation Administration would be essential, while airlines' familiarity with the aircraft, maintenance networks, leasing systems and market recognition would also influence adoption. 他表示,获取欧盟航空安全局、美国联邦航空管理局等机构的适航认证至关重要;同时航司对机型的熟悉度、全球维修网络、飞机租赁体系以及市场认可度,都会影响各国引进该机的意愿。 narrowbody /ˈnærəʊbɒdi/窄体客机 airworthiness /ˈeəwɜːðinəs/适航性 certification /ˌsɜːtɪfɪˈkeɪʃn/认证 infrastructure /ˈɪnfrəstrʌktʃə(r)/基础设施 short-haul /ˌʃɔːt ˈhɔːl/短途的 maintenance /ˈmeɪntənəns/维修,维护

    英语新闻丨中国推动全球人工智能发展获国际社会好评

    China is an active advocate and practitioner of global governance in artificial intelligence, committed to ensuring that the benefits of AI are shared more broadly and equitably among people around the world, experts said. 专家表示,中国是人工智能全球治理的积极倡导者和践行者,致力于让人工智能发展成果更广泛、更公平地惠及世界各国人民。 Guided by the principles of multilateralism, openness and inclusiveness, China works to build the broadest possible international consensus on AI governance and contributes Chinese solutions to advancing global development in the age of intelligence, they said.专家们说,中国秉持多边主义、开放包容的原则,努力凝聚人工智能治理领域最广泛的国际共识,为推动智能时代全球发展贡献中国方案。 Speaking in Shanghai at the opening ceremony of the 2026 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance, President Xi Jinping called for joint efforts to build a just and equitable system for global AI governance.国家主席习近平在上海出席2026世界人工智能大会暨全球人工智能治理高级别会议开幕式并发表讲话,呼吁各方共同努力,构建公正合理的全球人工智能治理体系。 "All countries should take a people-centered approach and develop AI for the positive and for good. We should ensure that AI is an important driver for shared prosperity and common security," Xi said.习近平表示:"各国应坚持以人为本,推动人工智能向善发展,确保人工智能成为促进共同繁荣与普遍安全的重要力量。" In his keynote speech, Xi stressed the need for adhering to the principles of openness and win-win and boosting innovation-driven development.习近平在主旨演讲中强调,要坚持开放合作、互利共赢,加快创新驱动发展。 He called for strengthening risk awareness, ensuring that AI is secure and controllable, encouraging inclusiveness, promoting mutual learning between civilizations, advocating solidarity and improving global governance.他呼吁增强风险意识,确保人工智能安全可控,倡导包容普惠,促进文明互鉴,弘扬团结协作精神,完善全球治理。 Gordon K'achola, founder and CEO of the Africa Center for Diplomatic Affairs, highlighted that China has promised to help developing countries build their own AI know-how.非洲外交事务中心创始人兼首席执行官戈登·卡乔拉指出,中国已承诺帮助发展中国家建立自主人工智能技术能力。 "For Africa and the broader Global South, the goal isn't just getting the latest tech. It's about building the capacity to create and control their own AI writing algorithms, growing research centers, and strengthening local institutions," he said.他表示:"对非洲和更广泛的全球南方国家而言,目标不仅仅是获得最新技术,更在于培养自主研发和掌控人工智能算法的能力,壮大本地研究中心,加强本土机构建设。" Xi said that China will develop international AI application cooperation centers with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the League of Arab States, the African Union, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS.习近平表示,中国将与东盟、阿盟、非盟、拉共体、上海合作组织、金砖国家共同建设人工智能应用国际合作中心。 Furthermore, China will promote the deployment of MAZU, an AI-powered meteorological early-warning solution, in 30 countries, he said.他还表示,中国将推动人工智能气象预警方案"妈祖"在30个国家落地应用。 Philip Okello, principal meteorologist at the Kenya Meteorology Service, noted that China has made significant advances in meteorological forecasting, satellite observation and early warning of disasters, adding that deeper cooperation in these areas could help enhance Africa's forecasting capabilities and strengthen its resilience to climate change.肯尼亚气象局首席气象学家菲利普·奥凯洛指出,中国在气象预报、卫星观测和灾害预警等领域取得显著进展,他补充说,在这些领域深化合作将有助于提升非洲的预报能力,增强其应对气候变化的韧性。 "President Xi's speech is timely because climate change is no longer a future risk; it is a present-day reality that is affecting countries across the globe," he said.他说:"习近平主席的讲话恰逢其时,因为气候变化已不再是未来的风险,而是正在影响全球各国的现实挑战。" Okello also said that Xi's emphasis on strengthening meteorological science, innovation and international cooperation "aligns closely with what Africa needs to better prepare for increasingly frequent droughts, floods and extreme weather events".奥凯洛还表示,习近平强调加强气象科学研究、创新与国际合作,这与非洲应对日益频发的干旱、洪涝和极端天气事件、提升防范能力的需求高度契合。 Xi also announced the establishment of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization, whose headquarters will be in Shanghai, as "a major move by China to answer the call of the Global South and unite the international community" to vigorously promote AI development and governance.习近平还宣布成立总部设在上海的世界人工智能合作组织,称这是"中国响应全球南方国家呼声、凝聚国际社会共识"、大力推动人工智能发展与治理的重大举措。 Maria Sun, co-chair of the FIRA RoboWorld Cup 2026, said the rapid development of AI has brought new challenges, underscoring the need for stronger international cooperation to address them collectively.2026世界机器人足球锦标赛联合主席玛丽亚·孙表示,人工智能的快速发展带来了新的挑战,凸显出加强国际合作、共同应对这些挑战的必要性。 "China's efforts to promote AI cooperation with developing countries are very encouraging. International exchanges like these help bring more countries into the AI era," she said.她说:"中国致力于推动与发展中国家的人工智能合作,这非常令人鼓舞。此类国际交流有助于让更多国家融入人工智能时代。" "China has maintained an open approach to AI development, and that will contribute significantly to technological progress worldwide. Today, China is one of the global leaders in AI, and its continued openness will help drive innovation and international cooperation," Sun added.孙补充说:"中国在人工智能发展上始终秉持开放态度,这将为全球科技进步作出重要贡献。当今,中国已成为全球人工智能领域的领军者之一,其持续开放的姿态将有助于推动创新与国际合作。" Humprey Arnaldo Russel, head of the ASEAN-China Research Center at the University of Indonesia, said that AI creates transnational challenges involving safety, ethics, misuse, technical standards, regulatory fragmentation, and widening digital and governance divides.印度尼西亚大学东盟-中国研究中心主任汉弗雷·阿纳尔多·拉塞尔表示,人工智能带来了涉及安全、伦理、滥用、技术标准、监管碎片化以及数字和治理鸿沟扩大等跨国性挑战。 He said that the Global AI Governance Initiative, put forward by President Xi in 2023, advances global AI governance through solidarity and multilateral cooperation, which requires the greatest attention from the international community.他表示,习近平主席于2023年提出的《全球人工智能治理倡议》,通过团结协作与多边合作推动全球人工智能治理,这需要国际社会给予高度关注。 "The proposal is especially important for the Global South, whose interests remain underrepresented in global technology governance. A broadly accepted, United Nations-centered framework could strengthen developing countries' participation (in global AI governance) while respecting different national conditions," he added.他补充说:"这一倡议对全球南方国家尤为重要,因为它们的利益在全球科技治理中长期代表性不足。一个得到广泛认可、以联合国为中心的框架,既能尊重各国不同国情,又能加强发展中国家在(全球人工智能治理)中的参与。" David Tuffley, an adjunct senior lecturer at Griffith University's School of Information and Communication Technology in Australia, said the people-centered approach seeks to address a major challenge in AI governance: ensuring that the benefits of the technology are shared broadly rather than remaining concentrated in the hands of a few.澳大利亚格里菲斯大学信息与通信技术学院客座高级讲师戴维·塔夫利表示,"以人为本"的理念旨在应对人工智能治理中的一大挑战,即确保技术发展成果得到广泛共享,而非被少数人垄断。 President Xi's speech highlighted China's commitment to promoting global AI governance and the development of international norms, he noted.他指出,习近平主席的讲话彰显了中国致力于推动全球人工智能治理和国际规则制定的坚定承诺。 Tuffley also said that for the international community, particularly developing countries, the commitment to capacity building and greater access to computing power is especially significant, as much of the world's population currently has little voice in shaping the rules that govern AI.塔夫利还表示,对国际社会尤其是发展中国家而言,加强能力建设、扩大算力获取渠道的承诺意义尤为重大,因为当前全球相当一部分人口在人工智能规则制定中话语权十分有限。 "Australia and China share an interest in AI safety research, in standards for evaluating frontier systems, and in ensuring AI serves rather than displaces hu

    社论丨美伊谅解备忘录不应化为泡影

    Just weeks after signing a memorandum of understanding on an interim deal to halt their conflict, the United States and Iran are embroiled in intense confrontation, casting a dark shadow over the region's stability and the security of global energy supplies. 就在签署关于停火临时协议的谅解备忘录仅数周后,美国和伊朗便陷入激烈对抗,给地区稳定和全球能源供应安全蒙上了阴影。 The current escalation is marked by a series of devastating attacks. The US has launched multiple rounds of air strikes against Iranian military sites, claiming they are necessary to "degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping" in the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump has threatened to target Iran's power stations and bridges.当前的局势升级以一系列破坏性袭击为标志。美国对伊朗军事目标发动了多轮空袭,声称这是“削弱伊朗在霍尔木兹海峡威胁商业航运能力”的必要举措。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普还威胁要攻击伊朗的发电站和桥梁。 This military confrontation has effectively nullified the recently signed MoU. On Saturday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi declared that Iran has ceased fulfilling its obligations under the agreement, as Washington has violated its commitments.这场军事对抗实际上已使近期签署的谅解备忘录失效。上周六,伊朗负责法律和国际事务的副外长卡泽姆·加里巴巴迪宣布,由于华盛顿方面违反承诺,伊朗已停止履行该协议下的义务。 Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei also said the US' violation of the MoU proves the US leader's signature is worthless and invalid, highlighting the profound breakdown in trust.伊朗最高领袖莫杰塔巴·哈梅内伊也表示,美国违反备忘录的行为证明美国领导人的签名毫无价值和效力,凸显了信任的彻底破裂。 The diplomatic path, which offered a glimmer of hope, now appears completely blocked. Central to this conflict is the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The escalation of tensions has already led to a sharp slump in shipping through the strait, sending shock waves through global energy markets again.曾带来一线希望的外交路径如今似乎已完全堵塞。这场冲突的核心是战略要地霍尔木兹海峡。紧张局势升级已导致海峡航运量急剧下滑,再次冲击全球能源市场。 The safety of this international shipping lane, vital to the global economy, must not be held hostage as a bargaining chip in this dangerous geopolitical game. Using the Strait of Hormuz as a tool for leverage is a reckless gamble with global stability. The two parties concerned should exercise restraint and de-escalate the situation.这条对全球经济至关重要的国际航运通道的安全,绝不能在这场危险的地缘政治博弈中被当作讨价还价的筹码。将霍尔木兹海峡作为施压工具,是对全球稳定的一场鲁莽赌博。有关各方应保持克制,推动局势降温。 Regrettably, the MoU at the moment is effectively defunct as the basic preconditions for its implementation no longer exist. Its first article required both sides to cease fire completely and restrain their allies, forming the basis for the next phase of negotiations.遗憾的是,由于实施备忘录的基本前提已不复存在,该备忘录目前实际上已形同虚设。其第一条要求双方全面停火并约束各自盟友,为下一阶段谈判奠定基础。 Not only has Israel continued to take military actions in Lebanon, but also the US and Iran have engaged in conflict again. Under the MoU, the US had previously agreed to lift the oil export embargo on Iran and unfreeze Iranian assets, but these promises have now been revoked by the US.以色列不仅继续在黎巴嫩采取军事行动,美国和伊朗也再次陷入冲突。根据备忘录,美国此前曾同意解除对伊朗的石油出口禁运并解冻伊朗资产,但这些承诺如今已被美方撤销。 Much of the current situation stems from the inherent fragility of the MoU itself. The first article regarding the ceasefire was negotiated between the US and Iran without involving Israel. The reconciliation between the US and Iran has therefore always been at risk of being sabotaged by Israel.当前局势在很大程度上源于备忘录本身的固有脆弱性。关于停火的第一条是由美国和伊朗谈判达成的,并未让以色列参与。因此,美伊和解始终面临被以色列破坏的风险。 Having neither sought nor signed the MoU, Israel is under no obligation to honor it — and Washington knows it. So it comes as no surprise that US Vice-President JD Vance has criticized Israel for resorting to a range of tactics, including lobbying to shape public perceptions in the US, all aimed at prolonging the US' conflict with Iran.以色列既未谋求也未签署该备忘录,因此没有义务遵守其规定——华盛顿对此心知肚明。因此,美国副总统JD·万斯批评以色列采取包括游说以塑造美国公众舆论在内的各种手段,旨在延长美国与伊朗的冲突,也就不足为奇了。 Nor does the MoU offer any clarity on the Strait of Hormuz — its provisions are so loosely drawn that each side can claim victory. Iran asserts the document affirms its control; the US insists it means no such thing. The gap between their readings is not a misunderstanding — it has been a crisis waiting to happen.备忘录对霍尔木兹海峡问题也未作出明确规定——其条款措辞如此含糊,以至于双方都可以宣称胜利。伊朗声称该文件确认了其控制权;美国则坚称绝非如此。双方解读的差距并非误解,而是一场注定要发生的危机。 The prevailing trajectory of retaliation serves the interests of no party, except those whose strategic calculations depend on the perpetuation of hostilities. Washington may think that military force can coerce Iran into submission. But that belief was proved wrong soon after the conflict started on Feb 28. Each round of US attacks on Iran, aimed at appeasing hard-liners at home, only escalates the cycle of violence rather than resolving it, and deepens US entanglement in the Middle Eastern quagmire.当前的报复性螺旋对任何一方都没有好处,除了那些战略算计依赖于敌对状态持续的力量。华盛顿或许认为武力可以迫使伊朗屈服。但这一信念在2月28日冲突开始后不久就被证明是错误的。美国对伊朗的每一轮攻击,虽旨在安抚国内强硬派,却只会加剧暴力循环而非解决问题,并使美国更深地陷入中东泥潭。 A return to the negotiating table is the only viable solution. The MoU was a hard-won achievement that should be cherished and protected. China, along with other nations such as Pakistan, has called on both parties to immediately cease hostilities, overcome difficulties and restart dialogue to reach a comprehensive peace agreement.重返谈判桌是唯一可行的解决方案。这份备忘录是来之不易的成果,应当珍惜和维护。中国与巴基斯坦等国一道,呼吁双方立即停止敌对行动,克服困难,重启对话,达成全面和平协议。 The longer this conflict course is pursued, the more it chips away at the already-frail trust that emerged from those first talks. And as that trust crumbles, so too does any hope of a graceful way out. The US and Iran must prioritize regional peace and the security of critical shipping waterways, return to the spirit of the MoU, and prove that their signatures are still credible.冲突持续越久,最初谈判中已十分脆弱的信任就越被侵蚀。随着信任瓦解,任何体面退出的希望也随之消散。美国和伊朗必须将地区和平与重要航运通道安全置于首位,回归备忘录的精神,证明他们的签名仍然可信。 unfreeze assets /ʌnˈfriːz ˈæsets/解冻资产 revoked /rɪˈvəʊkt/撤销 inherent fragility /ɪnˈherənt frəˈdʒɪləti/固有脆弱性 reconciliation /ˌrekənsɪliˈeɪʃən/和解 loosely drawn /ˈluːsli drɔːn/措辞含糊的 trajectory of retaliation /trəˈdʒektəri əv rɪˌtæliˈeɪʃən/报复性螺旋 coerce /kəʊˈɜːs/胁迫

Brazil, the only nation to appear in every World Cup, has five championships.如果阿根廷第四次夺冠,他们本将以4座冠军与德国和意大利并列历史第二位。巴西队则以5座冠军领跑——巴西也是唯一一支参加了每一届世界杯的国家。 This year's World Cup was the first time three countries — the United States, Canada and Mexico — have co-hosted the tournament, with games in 16 cities.

    英语新闻丨Xi calls for equitable AI governance

    President Xi Jinping unveiled on Friday a set of concrete measures to help developing countries build artificial intelligence capacity, including 5,000 training opportunities over the next five years, as he called for joint efforts to build a just and equitable system for global AI governance. Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 2026 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance, held in Shanghai, Xi said that China will develop international AI application cooperation centers with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the League of Arab States, the African Union, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and BRICS. China will also promote the deployment of MAZU, an AI-powered meteorological early-warning solution, in 30 countries, he said. Xi announced the establishment of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization as "a major move by China to answer the call of the Global South and unite the international community" to vigorously promote AI development and governance. On Thursday, representatives of 29 countries signed an agreement establishing the organization. With headquarters in Shanghai, it will be the world's first intergovernmental organization dedicated to AI. "It will be an important milestone in the history of AI development," Xi said, noting that AI development should be a symphony of international cooperation instead of a solo performance by a single country. In his keynote speech, Xi said China believes that all countries should take a people-centered approach and develop AI for positive and good outcomes and for humanity. He stressed the need to uphold openness and win-win cooperation and promote innovation-driven development, calling for greater openness, collaboration and sharing in open-source development, technological innovation and AI applications to empower industries, upgrade traditional sectors and foster emerging and future industries. Xi called for strengthening risk awareness to ensure that AI is secure and under human control. He also urged stronger legal, monitoring, early-warning and emergency-response systems to prevent the misuse or malicious use of AI, while opposing the overstretching of national security concerns in the AI sector or placing one country's security above that of others. "We should … ensure that AI is always under human control," he said. Xi also called for countries to encourage inclusiveness and mutual learning among civilizations, saying that the values of AI should be shaped with humanity's common values, and AI technologies should be used to deepen understanding, tolerance, exchanges and sharing among all civilizations. "AI development and its application should not erode or undermine the diversity of world civilizations or the uniqueness of cultures of different countries," he said. Xi advocated solidarity and stronger global AI governance, urging countries to work through the United Nations to align development strategies, governance rules and technical standards, in order to form a consensus-based global governance framework at an early date. He also called for stronger capacity-building support for the Global South to bridge the AI and digital divides and prevent creating new historical injustice in AI. Addressing the opening ceremony, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said no country should remain merely a consumer of AI, and that every state should have the opportunity to develop its own digital infrastructure and institutional capacity. Tokayev described the establishment of the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization as a decision of historic significance, saying that it could become an important pillar of the global AI governance architecture and a platform for mutually beneficial cooperation. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet said his country views AI as a bridge for international cooperation rather than a source of geopolitical rivalry, and supports an open, multi-aligned architecture that enables collaboration across regions, political systems and governance models. Developing countries should have meaningful and equitable access to AI technologies, data infrastructure and localized tools, he said. Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said that although AI is already reshaping many aspects of people's lives, technological progress does not automatically become human progress, which depends on the choices countries make together. "Thailand, therefore, commends the foresight of President Xi Jinping and his government for convening this important meeting and for advancing international cooperation on AI governance, including the initiative to establish the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization," he said. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said technology that will shape the future of humanity must be shaped by all humanity, and cannot be governed by only a handful of countries or companies. While AI can accelerate medical breakthroughs, transform education, strengthen food systems and create new industries and jobs, Guterres warned that computing power, data resources and technical expertise remain concentrated, with developing countries receiving only a trickle of AI investment. He said China has an essential role to play in making AI a force for greater inclusion and shared progress. The four-day conference, which runs through Monday under the theme "AI Partnership for a Brighter Future", is one of the world's leading annual AI events. This year, it has drawn government officials and representatives from industry, academia and research institutions, with participants representing more than 100 countries and international organizations. A chair's statement issued on Friday called for stronger international cooperation to address major challenges in the AI era and greater prominence for AI capacity building in global governance. It also urged action to tackle unequal access to resources and power, so that Global South countries can share fairly in the benefits of AI and contribute to achieving the goals of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
