    英语新闻丨Xi's trip builds solidarity and consensus

    President Xi Jinping returned to Beijing on Thursday morning after attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek and concluding state visits to Kyrgyzstan and Egypt.Officials and experts said the five-day trip, covering more than 20 bilateral and multilateral events across Central Asia and the Middle East, responded to international calls for peace, stability and development with concrete efforts, offering Chinese solutions and insights to a world of intertwined changes and turbulence.Speaking at a news briefing in Cairo upon the conclusion of the trip, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that with solidarity and cooperation as its central theme, the trip was significant for building consensus on cooperation and for reforming and improving global governance.In Bishkek, Xi attended the 26th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO as the organization marked its 25th anniversary this year.At the summit, Xi announced that China would establish a China-SCO port economic cooperation center in Tianjin and a China-SCO basic education cooperation center, and implement 100 technological cooperation projects with other SCO countries over the next three years.Leaders of the member states signed and issued the Bishkek Declaration, approved the protocol on amendments and additions to the SCO Charter, and adopted 28 outcome documents covering areas such as security, economic and people-to-people cooperation, as well as organizational development.The strategic blueprint drawn up at last year's Tianjin summit is becoming a reality step by step, Wang said, noting that the SCO now has a more optimized structure, more efficient operation and stronger cooperation.According to Wang, in Kyrgyzstan, the two heads of state reached important consensus on further deepening the two nations' comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era and advancing the building of a China-Kyrgyzstan community with a shared future. Bilateral relations are now at their best in history, he said.Wang said the most important political outcome of the visit was the signing of the treaty on permanent good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation. The treaty enshrines the two countries' commitment to lasting friendship in legal form and opens broader prospects for bilateral relations, he said.Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Zheenbek Kulubaev told reporters that as a result of Monday's meeting of the heads of state, Kyrgyzstan and China have raised the strategic partnership to a high-quality level of development.This reflects the high level of political trust and confidence between the two countries and their readiness to further deepen cooperation, he said.Xi's trip to Egypt was the first state visit to the country by a Chinese president in a decade and coincided with the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.According to Wang, Xi has emphasized that China, whether in the past, at present or in the future, is Egypt's trustworthy and dependable comprehensive strategic partner.Wang described Xi's historic visit to Egypt as both a journey to renew friendship and one to expand cooperation, calling it a milestone that fully demonstrates the strategic and exemplary nature of China-Egypt relations.Zoon Ahmed Khan, a researcher at the Belt and Road Institute of Tsinghua University, said Xi's visit reflected an ongoing transformation in which the two ancient civilizations are advancing from mere markets and transit corridors into creators of their own shared agency."The true vitality of this partnership lies in its tangible momentum," she said, pointing to industrial hubs, local-currency financing, space technology and job-creating projects as examples of political trust being translated into productive capacity and practical South-South cooperation.Ayman Mohseb, a member of Egypt's House of Representatives, said that closer China-Egypt coordination could help ease regional tensions, promote dialogue and political settlements, and contribute to a more balanced and equitable international order.During his talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Xi put forward a four-point proposal on building a new security architecture in the Middle East via upholding a vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security.He called for fostering the internal driving force for regional security, adopting a comprehensive approach to advancing common security in the region, consolidating the foundation for common security through development and strengthening international coordination.Wang also highlighted the cultural and people-to-people dimensions.Peng Liyuan, Xi's wife, took part in cultural activities with Aigul Japarova, the wife of the Kyrgyz president, and Entissar El-Sisi, the wife of the Egyptian president. The activities added a warm cultural dimension and helped strengthen mutual understanding, people-to-people bonds and cultural exchanges, Wang said.

    英语新闻丨AI芯片供应紧张致手机价格跳涨

    A fresh wave of price hikes has hit China's smartphone market, as Huawei, Xiaomi and Honor increased retail prices for several current models by between 200 ($29.75) and 1,000 yuan, triggering heated chatter on social media. 新一轮涨价潮席卷中国智能手机市场,华为、小米和荣耀将多款在售机型的零售价格上调了200元(约合29.75美元)至1000元不等,引发社交媒体热议。 The coordinated adjustments come amid tightened memory chip supply and sustained price increases for key semiconductors.这轮集体调价正值存储芯片供应趋紧、关键半导体价格持续上涨之际。 Huawei led the increases, with its Mate 80 series jumping by as much as 1,000 yuan on Tuesday, while the 90 Pro Max sold for an extra 200 yuan. Xiaomi, which had already adjusted prices on Aug 2, raised the Xiaomi 17 and 17 Pro by 300 yuan each — its second hike in less than a month.华为率先涨价,其Mate 80系列周二涨幅高达1000元,90 Pro Max则上涨200元。小米已于8月2日调价一次,随后将小米17和17 Pro各上调300元——这是其不到一个月内的第二次涨价。 Honor followed suit, lifting its Power2 by 500 and 600 yuan for its two variants, and increasing its flagship Magic8 series by 300 to 500 yuan across versions, bringing post-hike prices to between 4,799 and 5,999 yuan.荣耀紧随其后,将其Power2的两款机型分别上调500元和600元,旗舰Magic8系列各版本上调300至500元,涨价后售价在4799元至5999元之间。 In response to the increases, a Huawei customer service representative said the upward adjustments were necessary because "market prices of key materials have changed, leading to higher production costs".针对此次涨价,华为客服代表表示,上调价格是必要的,因为“关键材料的市场价格发生了变化,导致生产成本上升”。 At the crux of the surge is a structural imbalance in global memory chip supplies. As artificial intelligence model training and AI server infrastructure expand at a breakneck pace, major memory makers — Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron — have shifted substantial high-end capacity toward high-margin HBM (high bandwidth memory), mainly used in servers, thus directly squeezing the supply of handset-oriented DRAM and NAND memory chips. That supply crunch has sent mobile memory prices soaring.本轮涨价的根源在于全球存储芯片供应的结构性失衡。随着人工智能模型训练和AI服务器基础设施以惊人速度扩张,三星、SK海力士和美光等主要存储芯片制造商已将大量高端产能转向主要用于服务器的高利润HBM(高带宽内存),从而直接挤压了面向手机的DRAM和NAND存储芯片的供应。这种供应紧张已推动手机存储芯片价格飙升。 Market research firm Trend-Force said in a recent report that memory prices have accumulated a five- to seven-fold increase since the start of 2025, forcing brands to either raise prices sharply or discontinue product lines that have turned loss-making.市场研究机构集邦咨询在近期报告中称,自2025年初以来,存储芯片价格已累计上涨五至七倍,迫使品牌要么大幅提价,要么停产已陷入亏损的产品线。 The cost pressure, however, is no longer limited to storage. In late July, Qualcomm Inc CEO Cristiano Amon said the chipmaker planned to raise its product prices effective Sept 1.然而,成本压力已不再局限于存储领域。7月下旬,高通公司首席执行官克里斯蒂亚诺·阿蒙表示,这家芯片制造商计划自9月1日起上调产品价格。 Amon explained that the hike reflects broader cost increases across the supply chain. This means smartphone makers now face a dual squeeze from both memory and SoC (system-on-chip) costs — a major factor behind the simultaneous retail price adjustments seen on Tuesday.阿蒙解释说,此次涨价反映了整个供应链更广泛的成本上升。这意味着智能手机制造商现在面临着来自存储芯片和SoC(系统级芯片)成本的双重挤压——这也是周二零售端集体调价的主要原因。 The current round of price increases differs somewhat from previous ones. In the past, price hikes typically accompanied new product launches, justified by upgraded features or specifications, experts said.专家表示,本轮涨价与此前有所不同。过去,涨价通常伴随新品发布,并以功能或规格升级作为理由。 This time around, however, brands are directly raising prices on devices already available in the market. Xiaomi's case is particularly telling: its Tuesday increase came less than a month after its Aug 2 hike, indicating that manufacturers are passing on costs gradually through multiple small adjustments rather than a single large spike, as component costs remain stubbornly elevated.然而,这一次品牌直接上调了已在售机型的售价。小米的案例尤为典型:其周二涨价距离8月2日的上一轮涨价不到一个月,表明在元器件成本持续高企的情况下,制造商正通过多次小幅调整而非一次性大幅提价来逐步转嫁成本。 Top executives had already hinted at the coming price increases. On Aug 5, Huawei's executive director and chairman of its terminal business group, Yu Chengdong, warned that "with memory prices so high, all phones may have to see large-scale price rises in the future; otherwise, they would be sold at a loss".企业高管此前已暗示即将到来的涨价。8月5日,华为常务董事、终端BG董事长余承东警告称:“存储芯片价格这么高,未来所有手机可能都不得不大幅涨价,否则就会亏本销售。” In a May livestreaming session, Xiaomi President Lu Weibing predicted that by the second half, some domestic flagship slab phones could break through the 10,000-yuan price barrier.在5月的一次直播中,小米总裁卢伟冰预测,到下半年,部分国产旗舰直板手机可能突破万元价格关口。 Indeed, the industry has been grappling with rising prices since the third quarter of last year. Almost every major brand — Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Huawei and Honor — has raised retail prices to varying degrees, with mid-range and entry-level models typically seeing increases of 300 to 500 yuan, while high-end flagships and foldables have recorded hikes exceeding 1,000 yuan.事实上,自去年第三季度以来,整个行业一直在应对价格上涨压力。几乎所有主流品牌——三星、OPPO、vivo、华为和荣耀——都不同程度地上调了零售价格,中端和入门级机型通常上涨300至500元,而高端旗舰机和折叠屏机型的涨幅则超过1000元。 According to US market research firm International Data Corp, China's smartphone shipments in the second quarter stood at approximately 66 million units, a year-on-year decline of 4.3 percent, continuing a streak of quarterly drops. For the first half, total shipments reached about 134 million units, down 4.2 percent from the same period last year.据美国市场研究机构国际数据公司(IDC)数据,第二季度中国智能手机出货量约为6600万部,同比下降4.3%,延续了季度下滑趋势。上半年总出货量约为1.34亿部,较去年同期下降4.2%。 coordinated adjustments /kəʊˈɔːdɪneɪtɪd əˈdʒʌstmənts/集体调价 memory chip /ˈmeməri tʃɪp/存储芯片 semiconductor /ˌsemikənˈdʌktə/半导体 high-end /haɪ end/高端的 high-margin /haɪ ˈmɑːdʒɪn/高利润的 structural imbalance /ˈstrʌktʃərəl ɪmˈbæləns/结构性失衡 breakneck pace /ˈbreɪknek peɪs/惊人的速度 supply crunch /səˈplaɪ krʌntʃ/供应紧张 loss-making /ˈlɒs ˈmeɪkɪŋ/亏损的 dual squeeze /ˈdjuːəl skwiːz/双重挤压

    英语新闻丨倡导平等有序的多极世界

    President Xi Jinping called on Tuesday for joint efforts to advance an equal and orderly multipolar world and make global governance more just and equitable, saying that Global South countries should have greater representation and a stronger voice in international affairs. 周二,习近平主席呼吁各方携手努力,推动构建平等有序的多极世界,让全球治理更加公正合理,指出全球南方国家应当在国际事务中拥有更多代表性与更大发言权。 Xi made the remarks at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Plus Meeting in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, which focused on strengthening the role of the United Nations and building a multipolar world. 习近平在吉尔吉斯斯坦首都比什凯克举行的“上海合作组织+”会议上发表上述讲话,本次会议聚焦加强联合国作用、构建多极世界。 Against the backdrop of accelerating changes unseen in a century, Xi said that hegemonism, unilateralism and protectionism are resurging against historical trends. Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority of the world does not condone power politics, conflict and confrontation, or isolation and backwardness, he said, adding that what most people want instead is to hold a place on the world stage through national development and international cooperation. 习近平表示,在世界百年变局加速演进的背景下,霸权主义、单边主义、保护主义逆历史潮流回潮。但世界绝大多数国家并不认同强权政治、冲突对抗、封闭落后,绝大多数国家所期盼的,是通过本国发展与国际合作在世界舞台上占有一席之地。 Noting that the rise of the Global South is driving a profound shift in the international balance of power, Xi said that the trend toward a multipolar world is irreversible. 习近平指出,全球南方的崛起推动国际力量对比发生深刻变化,世界多极化趋势不可逆转。 "As a responsible major country, China advocates for an equal and orderly multipolar world," he said. 他指出:“作为负责任大国,中国倡导平等有序的多极世界。” The Chinese president identified sovereign equality and mutual respect as fundamental principles, balance, order and the rule of law as inherent requirements, multilateralism, dialogue and consultation as essential pathways, and mutual benefit, winwin cooperation and inclusiveness as the way forward for development. 习近平主席将主权平等、相互尊重定为根本原则;均衡有序、法治至上作为内在要求;多边主义、对话协商作为重要路径;互利共赢、包容普惠作为发展方向。 "We should ensure equal rights, equal opportunities and equal rules for all countries, regardless of their size, strength and wealth," Xi said. 习近平表示:“国家不分大小、强弱、贫富,我们应当保障各国享有平等权利、平等机会、平等规则。” The common values of humanity should be upheld, while double standards, exceptionalism, foreign interference, bullying and the law of the jungle should be rejected, he said. 他指出,应当弘扬全人类共同价值,摒弃双重标准、例外主义、外来干涉、霸凌行径以及丛林法则。 He added that major countries, in particular, should "take the lead in observing international norms and honoring the rule of law", and work together to tackle global challenges. 他补充道,大国尤其要“带头遵守国际准则、恪守法治”,携手应对全球性挑战。 "World affairs should be discussed by all, and international norms should be set by all. The authority and vitality of the UN need to be restored," Xi said. 习近平表示:“世界的事情由各国共商,国际规则由各国共定,要恢复联合国的权威与活力。” He also called for focusing on the development agenda, upholding openness and cooperation, and bridging the digital and artificial intelligence divides, so that the technological revolution and development achievements can benefit all nations. 他同时呼吁聚焦发展议题,坚持开放合作,弥合数字鸿沟与人工智能鸿沟,让科技革命与发展成果惠及所有国家。 Xi said that after a 25year journey, the SCO has successfully set a stellar example in conducting relations among big countries, among neighbors and among countries of different sizes. 习近平表示,历经25载发展,上合组织为大国之间、邻国之间、大小不同国家之间处理国际关系树立了光辉典范。 To advance common prosperity in the vast region straddling Asia and Europe, Xi called for harnessing "SCO Strength" and connecting multiple growth poles across the continent through highquality Belt and Road cooperation. 为推动横跨欧亚广袤区域实现共同繁荣,习近平呼吁发挥“上合力量”,通过高质量共建“一带一路”,联通欧亚大陆多个增长极。 Xi also called on the SCO to promote the development and rise of the Global South through "SCO Wisdom", urging all sides to carry forward the Shanghai Spirit and strengthen and expand the SCO Plus partnerships. He said that "SCO Action" should guide the reform and improvement of global governance. 习近平同时呼吁上合组织运用“上合智慧”助力全球南方发展振兴,敦促各方弘扬上海精神,巩固拓展“上合组织+”伙伴关系,以“上合行动”引领全球治理改革完善。 Tuesday's meeting came exactly one year after Xi proposed the Global Governance Initiative at the SCO Plus Meeting in Tianjin. The initiative has since received support from nearly 160 countries and international organizations, while more than 60 countries have joined the Group of Friends of Global Governance. 本次周二举行的会议,距离习近平主席在天津“上合组织+”会议上提出全球治理倡议恰好过去一年。该倡议已得到近160个国家和国际组织支持,60多个国家加入全球治理之友小组。 Li Yonghui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies, said that the rise of the Global South and emerging economies is accelerating the shift toward a multipolar world. Li said that the SCO provides a practical example of cooperation among countries with different social systems and at different stages of development. 中国社会科学院俄罗斯东欧中亚研究所研究员李勇慧表示,全球南方与新兴经济体的崛起正在加速世界多极化进程。他认为,上合组织为不同社会制度、不同发展阶段国家开展合作提供了现实范例。 multipolar /ˌmʌltiˈpəʊlə(r)/多极的 hegemonism /hɪˈɡemənɪzəm/霸权主义 unilateralism /ˌjuːnɪˈlætərəlɪzəm/单边主义 protectionism /prəˈtekʃənɪzəm/保护主义 multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/多边主义 inclusiveness /ɪnˈkluːsɪvnəs/包容性

    英语新闻丨Xi: Development, security key to SCO

    President Xi Jinping called on Tuesday for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to prioritize development and security to usher in a future of shared prosperity and foster an environment of universal security. Xi made the remarks when addressing the 26th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the SCO, which was held in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan. He underlined the need for the SCO to remain committed to dialogue and consultation for more equitable and orderly governance. In his speech, Xi hailed the extraordinary journey of the regional organization over the past 25 years, saying that it has grown into a new type of regional cooperation grouping with the largest land area and population and enormous development potential.  Founded in 2001 by China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, the SCO now comprises 10 member states, two observer states and 15 dialogue partners. Xi said that the most valuable spiritual asset of the regional grouping is that it pioneered, and has since invariably followed, the Shanghai Spirit featuring mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for the diversity of civilizations and pursuit of common development. Its most important cooperation experience is that it has found the right way of coexistence, featuring nonalliance, nonconfrontation and not targeting any third party, enabling countries in the region to build a common home together, he added. As the world is undergoing accelerated changes unseen in a century, with the intensifying rivalry between dialogue and confrontation, win-win and zero-sum, and multilateralism and unilateralism, Xi urged the SCO to step forward to shoulder its historical responsibility and proactively steer the course for the future. He also called for the SCO to advocate universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, solidify cooperation in traditional fields such as trade, investment, mutual connectivity, energy and resources, and expand cooperation in emerging fields like artificial intelligence, digital economy, green industry and green mining in order to deepen and upgrade regional cooperation. China sees the SCO as a priority area for promoting high-quality Belt and Road cooperation and implementing the Global Development Initiative, he said. In 2025, China's trade with other SCO members reached $523.5 billion and accounted for 8 percent of the country's total foreign trade, up from $12.1 billion in 2001, according to statistics from the Ministry of Commerce. Xi urged the SCO countries to take coordinated measures to tackle traditional and nontraditional security threats, and he called for efforts to prevent external forces from interfering in their internal affairs, endangering their political security and undermining regional stability. China is willing to work with all parties to practice a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security concept and make the SCO an important platform for implementing the Global Security Initiative, he added. Xi also emphasized the need for the SCO countries to uphold a people-centered approach and cement the foundation for everlasting friendship. China stands ready to work with all parties to implement the Global Civilization Initiative, he added. The summit was chaired by President Sadyr Japarov of Kyrgyzstan, which holds the current rotating presidency of the SCO. The leaders of the SCO member states fully affirmed the development achievements of the SCO over the past 25 years, recognizing that the SCO provides important guarantees for regional security and prosperity and has become one of the cornerstones of global stability and economic development. They praised China's significant contributions as a founding member state in promoting the organization's development and agreed to actively implement the strategic blueprint from the SCO Tianjin Summit in 2025. In the face of a complex international situation, SCO member states should work together to enhance the organization's influence, promote the building of a more just and reasonable global governance system, and play a greater role in safeguarding the peace, stability and prosperity of the region and the world, they said. Leaders of the SCO member states signed and issued the Bishkek Declaration on the 25th Anniversary of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, approved the Protocol on Amending and Supplementing the Charter of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Regulations on the SCO Universal Center for Countering Security Challenges and Threats, and the Regulations on the SCO Anti-Drug Center, and adopted 28 outcome documents covering security, economic, people-to-people and cultural cooperation, as well as organizational development. It was decided at the summit that Pakistan will assume the rotating presidency of the SCO for 2026-27. Li Ziguo, director and research fellow in the Department for European-Central Asian Studies at the China Institute of International Studies, said the summit could give fresh impetus to implementing the outcomes of last year's summit and help move the SCO into a stage of pursuing development in tandem. Sun Zhuangzhi, director of the Institute of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, described China's efforts in practicing the Shanghai Spirit as an important driving force behind the SCO. prosperity / prɒˈsperəti / n.繁荣;兴旺 governance / ˈɡʌvənəns / n.治理;管理;治理体系 mutual benefit / ˌmjuːtʃuəl ˈbenɪfɪt / n.互利;共同利益 win-win / ˌwɪn ˈwɪn / adj./n.双赢的;双赢局面 zero-sum / ˌzɪərəʊ ˈsʌm / adj.零和的;一方获益必然意味着另一方受损的 multilateralism / ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm / n.多边主义 unilateralism / ˌjuːnɪˈlætərəlɪzəm / n.单边主义 mutual connectivity / ˌmjuːtʃuəl ˌkɒnekˈtɪvəti / n.互联互通
