    英语新闻丨免签政策延期助推跨境出行

    Driven by the optimization of the China-Russia visa-free policy and the expansion of round-trip flight capacity, the number of inbound and outbound Russian nationals at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport saw a significant surge in the first five months of this year, the latest data showed. 最新数据显示,得益于中俄免签政策优化以及往返航班运力扩容,今年前五个月经广州白云国际机场出入境的俄罗斯公民数量大幅激增。 According to statistics from the Guangzhou Baiyun Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station, from January to May, the airport handled over 210,000 entry and exit trips by Russian nationals, marking a 110 percent year-on-year increase, and setting a new record for the period. 广州白云出入境边防检查站统计数据显示,1至5月,该口岸俄罗斯公民出入境人次超21万,同比涨幅达110%,创下历年同期新高。 The unilateral visa-free policy is the primary driving force. China in May officially extended its visa-free policy for Russian citizens to Dec 31, 2027, significantly reducing the time and economic costs for Russian citizens traveling to China and stimulating enthusiasm for cross-border travel. 单方面免签政策是增长的核心推动力。我国于今年5月正式将针对俄罗斯公民的单方面免签政策延长至2027年12月31日,大幅降低俄罗斯民众来华的时间与经济成本,极大激发了跨境出行热情。 Data showed that in the first five months, the airport inspected over 100,000 visa-free entries by Russian nationals, accounting for 90 percent of the total Russian inbound travelers, with tourism and business stated as the main purposes of travel. 数据显示,前五个月经该口岸免签入境的俄罗斯公民超10万人次,占俄罗斯入境总人数的90%,出行目的以旅游、商务为主。 Russian Ambassador to China Igor Morgulov said that the Russia-China visa-free regime provides a tremendous opportunity to strengthen ties between the peoples of the two countries, and he invited Chinese people to visit Russia to enjoy its beautiful scenery. 俄罗斯驻华大使伊戈尔·莫尔古洛夫表示,中俄免签制度为加深两国民间往来创造了绝佳契机,他也邀约中国民众前往俄罗斯领略当地风光。 Morgulov said he believes that the visa-free policy has not only substantially increased interest in mutual visits between Russia and China, but has also already had a significant impact on tourist numbers."These measures will not only promote tourism exchanges but also foster closer communication between the peoples of our two countries," he said. 莫尔古洛夫称,免签政策不仅大幅提升了两国民众互访意愿,也切实带动了游客数量增长。他表示:“这项政策既能促进旅游交流,也能进一步拉近两国民众的沟通距离。” The continued boom in Russian nationals visiting China is inseparable from the support of continuously expanding aviation capacity. Since January this year, flight routes between Guangzhou and Moscow have been consistently increased, with three additional flights per week, bringing the total to 19 weekly flights. This has greatly enhanced the convenience of cross-border travel for visitors from both countries. 俄罗斯来华客流持续走高,离不开不断扩容的航空运力支撑。今年1月起,广州至莫斯科航线持续增班,每周新增3个航班,往返周航班总量达到19班,极大提升了两国旅客跨境出行的便利度。 To facilitate the implementation of these convenient policies, the Guangzhou Baiyun Entry-Exit Border Inspection Station has relied on big data to forecast passenger flows and dynamically optimize channel configurations. It has explored zoned inspection for foreigners to achieve "immediate processing upon arrival and proactive peak-shifting," and utilized a new generation of inspection equipment to boost efficiency, clearing the "last mile" hurdle for policy implementation. 为配套落实便利化政策,广州白云边检站依托大数据预判客流,动态调整查验通道布局;推行外国人分区查验模式,实现“到岗即办、错峰疏导”,同时启用新一代查验设备提升通关效率,打通政策落地的“最后一公里”。 Timofey Bordachev, program director of the Valdai Discussion Club, a Russian think tank, said that the mutual visa exemption between Russia and China holds profound strategic significance. 俄罗斯智库瓦尔代国际辩论俱乐部项目主任季莫费·博尔达切夫表示,中俄互免签证具备深远的战略意义。 "The mutual visa exemption between Russia and China is not a routine border opening measure, but is built on a foundation of high-level political trust between both sides," Bordachev said. 博尔达切夫指出:“中俄互免签证并非普通的边境开放举措,而是建立在双方高度政治互信基础之上的成果。” Bordachev emphasized that the visa-free policy is a long-term systematic project that will create favorable conditions for deepening Russia-China bilateral cooperation. He also noted that this will enhance the resilience of strategic coordination between the two countries and reflect their mutual confidence in a shared path of development. 博尔达切夫强调,免签政策是一项长期系统性举措,将为深化中俄双边合作创造有利条件。他同时提到,该政策能够强化两国战略协作的韧性,彰显双方对共同发展道路的相互信任。 surge /sɜːdʒ/激增,猛增 unilateral /ˌjuːnɪˈlætərəl/单方面的 regime /reɪˈʒiːm/制度,管理体系 dynamically /daɪˈnæmɪkli/动态地 exemption /ɪɡˈzempʃn/免除,豁免 resilience /rɪˈzɪliəns/韧性,适应力

    China's national football team may not have qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but the country remains a major contributor to the tournament through its manufacturing industry, which has a key role in producing a large share of the official merchandise sold to fans worldwide. 中国国家男子足球队虽未晋级2026年国际足联世界杯,但依托本国制造业,中国仍是本届赛事的重要支撑方;全球球迷所购的官方周边商品,很大一部分都由中国生产。 The tournament, staged across 16 host cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico, will run from June 11 to July 19. This year's World Cup is bigger than ever as it will feature 48 football teams, instead of the usual 32 teams. 本届世界杯在美国、加拿大、墨西哥共计16座主办城市举办,赛事周期为6月11日至7月19日。本届世界杯规模创下历史新高,参赛球队由往届的32支扩充至48支。 Much of the World Cup-themed merchandise and souvenirs bought by fans was manufactured in Yiwu International Trade City, in Yiwu, Zhejiang province, famous as the world's largest wholesale small commodity market. 球迷选购的大部分世界杯主题周边与纪念商品,都产自浙江义乌国际商贸城,这里是全球规模最大的小商品批发市场。 Mike Smith, 60, from East London, was in New York shopping with his wife at an official FIFA World Cup 2026 store temporarily located on the ground-floor of the plush mall The Shops at Columbus Circle in Manhattan. 60岁的迈克·史密斯来自伦敦东区,他和妻子正在纽约曼哈顿哥伦布圆环高端购物中心一层的2026世界杯官方临时门店购物。 Smith told China Daily: "There's a nice selection of things in here.

    英语新闻丨北京今夏六月未遇 35℃高温

    Beijing went through the entire month of June without recording a single high-temperature day, marking the first time since 2015 that the capital's maximum temperature failed to reach 35 C, according to local meteorological authorities.北京市气象部门表示,北京今年整个 6 月未出现一个高温日,这是 2015 年以来,北京首次整月最高气温未达到 35 摄氏度。 Data from the Beijing Climate Center showed that the average temperature at the Beijing Meteorological Observatory, which serves as the city's official benchmark, was 24.0 C from June 1 to 29, 1.3 degrees below the long-term average of 25.3 C. This stands in stark contrast to June 2025, which saw eight days above 35 C, Beijing Daily reported on Tuesday.《北京日报》周二报道,北京市气候中心数据显示,作为北京标准气象观测站的北京观象台,6 月 1 日至 29 日平均气温为 24.0 摄氏度,较常年同期均值 25.3 摄氏度偏低 1.3 摄氏度。这与 2025 年 6 月形成鲜明对比,去年 6 月北京有 8 天气温超 35 摄氏度。 Meteorologists attribute the unusually cool weather to persistent cold vortex systems that frequently affected the region, suppressing temperatures and preventing them from crossing the 35 degrees Celsius mark, according to the report.报道称,气象专家表示,持续影响北京地区的冷涡系统是今年 6 月气温偏低的主要原因,这类系统压制气温,使得气温难以突破 35 摄氏度高温线。 While the cooler conditions are a welcome reprieve, the city is now entering its rainy season. With rising temperatures and humidity creating a breeding ground for bacteria, health authorities are reminding citizens to remain vigilant. Residents are advised to pay attention to food and water hygiene to prevent intestinal infectious diseases, which are common in the summer months.凉爽天气暂时缓解了暑热,但北京现已进入汛期。气温与湿度同步升高,极易滋生细菌,卫健部门提醒市民提高防范意识,注意饮食饮水卫生,预防夏季高发的肠道传染病。meteorological /ˌmiːtiərəˈlɒdʒɪkl/adj. 气象的vortex /ˈvɔːteks/n. 涡旋;漩涡humidity /hjuːˈmɪdəti/n. 湿度;潮湿intestinal /ɪnˈtestɪnl/adj. 肠道的

    英语新闻丨全新磋商机制助力中欧关系正轨前行

    The launch of the China-EU trade and investment consultation mechanism is expected to provide a regular platform for dialogue to address bilateral economic differences, said market watchers and business leaders.市场观察人士与企业负责人表示,中欧经贸投资磋商机制的设立,有望搭建常态化对话平台,化解双边经贸分歧。While trade frictions between China and the European Union may persist in the near term, the new mechanism could help prevent disputes from escalating and keep bilateral economic relations on a more predictable track, they added.他们补充称,短期内中欧贸易摩擦或将持续,但这一新机制能够避免争端升级,让双边经贸关系发展更具可预期性。According to a joint statement issued on Tuesday, Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao and European Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security, Interinstitutional Relations and Transparency Maros Sefcovic identified four initial work streams during the inaugural meeting of the China-EU trade and investment consultation mechanism in Brussels on Monday.周二发布的联合声明显示,周一在布鲁塞尔举行的中欧经贸投资磋商机制首次会议上,中国商务部部长王文涛与欧盟贸易、经济安全、机构间关系及透明度专员马罗什・谢夫乔维奇确定了四项首批工作议题。The work streams cover trade and investment balancing, export controls, intellectual property rights and World Trade Organization reform, the statement said.声明指出,相关议题涵盖贸易投资平衡、出口管制、知识产权以及世界贸易组织改革四大领域。Zhao Yongsheng, a professor of European studies at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said that the mechanism comes at a time when both sides continue to face structural differences over trade and industrial policies.对外经济贸易大学欧洲问题研究教授赵永升表示,当前中欧双方在贸易、产业政策方面仍存在结构性分歧,该机制的设立恰逢其时。Huang Yiping, dean of Peking University's National School of Development, said those differences reflect broader questions about whether traditional industrial powers can adapt as China's competitiveness expands into sectors long regarded as their technological strongholds.北京大学国家发展研究院院长黄益平表示,这些分歧背后是一个更深层次的问题:随着中国竞争力不断延伸至传统工业强国长期占据技术优势的领域,后者能否适应这一变化。"Those structural differences are unlikely to disappear, but dialogue can keep competition manageable and preserve space for cooperation where interests continue to overlap," he said.他说:“这类结构性分歧难以彻底消除,但对话能够管控竞争,并在双方利益契合的领域保留合作空间。”Business leaders noted that China and the EU remain important trading partners, as robust trade flows continue to demonstrate the resilience of bilateral economic ties.企业界人士指出,中欧互为重要贸易伙伴,旺盛的贸易往来充分体现双边经贸关系具备强大韧性。According to data from the General Administration of Customs, the value of China-EU trade increased 10.3 percent year-on-year to 2.53 trillion yuan ($373 billion) in the first five months of this year, while China's imports from the EU grew 5.2 percent.海关总署数据显示,今年前五个月,中欧贸易额达 2.53 万亿元人民币(折合 3730 亿美元),同比增长 10.3%,其中中国自欧盟进口同比增长 5.2%。Speaking at a monthly news briefing in Beijing on Tuesday, Wang Yifei, a spokeswoman for the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said Chinese businesses hope that China and the EU will resolve trade issues through dialogue, while ensuring a fair, transparent and nondiscriminatory business environment.周二,中国贸促会新闻发言人王叶菲在北京月度例行发布会上表示,中国企业希望中欧通过对话解决贸易分歧,共同营造公平、透明、非歧视的营商环境。For businesses in the EU, maintaining communications has become more important than ever because both economies remain deeply intertwined, especially in the manufacturing, investment and technology sectors.对欧盟企业而言,保持沟通比以往任何时候都更为关键,中欧两大经济体深度交融,制造业、投资、科技领域联系尤为紧密。Speaking to China Daily during a recent interview, Michael Schumann, chairman of the German Federal Association for Economic Development and Foreign Trade, said: "Europe cannot be (economically) independent from the United States, and it cannot be independent from China. Our economies, technologies, supply chains and security structures are far too deeply interconnected."德国联邦经济发展和对外贸易协会主席米夏埃尔・舒曼近日接受《中国日报》采访时表示:“欧洲经济既无法脱离美国,也离不开中国。双方的经济、技术、供应链与安全体系深度交织,密不可分。”Businesses can translate political consensus into practical cooperation through investment, trade and industrial partnerships, he added.他补充道,企业可通过投资、贸易、产业合作,将双方达成的政治共识转化为实实在在的合作成果。Christophe Lauras, president of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China, said that France and China have a highly complementary relationship in sectors such as aerospace, advanced engineering, luxury goods, agriculture, energy transition and healthcare.法国工商会中国区主席克里斯托夫・洛拉斯表示,中法在航空航天、高端工程、奢侈品、农业、能源转型、医疗健康等领域互补性极强。"Many French companies plan to establish research and development centers in China, while Chinese companies are expanding globally by strengthening their presence in France. The next stage requires deeper integration to achieve mutually beneficial cooperation," Lauras said.洛拉斯称:“不少法国企业计划在华设立研发中心,同时中国企业也通过深耕法国市场拓展全球布局。下一阶段,双方需要深化产业融合,实现互利共赢。”The commitment is also reflected in fresh investment. German chemical manufacturer Covestro announced on Tuesday that it will build a new production line for methylene diphenyl diisocyanate at its integrated site in Shanghai, with an annual capacity of 660,000 metric tons. Operations are expected to begin around 2030. MDI is a synthetic chemical used primarily to manufacture polyurethane foams and coatings.双方的合作诚意也体现在新增投资项目上。德国化工企业科思创周二宣布,将在上海一体化生产基地新建一条二苯基甲烷二异氰酸酯生产线,年产能 66 万吨,预计 2030 年前后投产。二苯基甲烷二异氰酸酯是一种合成化工原料,主要用于生产聚氨酯泡沫与涂料。Holly Lei, president of Covestro China, said the move underscores the company's long-term commitment to China and leverages the country's integrated industrial ecosystem, innovation capabilities and talent base to strengthen MDI supply for customers in China and the Asia-Pacific region.科思创中国区总裁雷焕丽表示,该项目彰显企业深耕中国市场的长期决心,依托中国完备的产业生态、创新实力与人才储备,为中国及亚太客户稳定供应二苯基甲烷二异氰酸酯产品。consultation /ˌkɒnslˈteɪʃn/n. 磋商;协商bilateral /ˌbaɪˈlætərəl/adj. 双边的complementary /ˌkɒmplɪˈmentri/adj. 互补的resilience /rɪˈzɪliəns/n. 韧性;恢复力

    中国日报社论:事实印证中国机遇 2.0 的强大吸引力

    In an era marked by rapid global economic shifts and rising uncertainties, the concept of "China Opportunity 2.0" has emerged as a symbol of new possibilities for international trade and innovation.全球经济格局快速变革、不确定性持续攀升的当下,“中国机遇 2.0” 这一概念应运而生,成为国际贸易与创新发展全新机遇的象征。 While some China doomsters have expressed "anxiety" over China's advances in technology and industrial innovation, even promoting the narrative of a so-called "China Shock 2.0" that groundlessly frames China's development as a "threat" to the global economy, the reality is that "China Opportunity 2.0", as Chinese Premier Li Qiang said last week, represents comprehensive innovation-driven empowerment and high-return investment prospects. Speaking at the 17th Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum in Northeast China's coastal city of Dalian, Li underscored China's potential to offer high-return investment prospects and its fostering of mutually beneficial technological collaboration worldwide.部分唱衰中国的人士对中国技术与产业创新进步心存 “焦虑”,甚至炒作所谓 “中国冲击 2.0” 论调,毫无依据地将中国发展视作全球经济 “威胁”。但事实正如国务院总理李强上周所言,“中国机遇 2.0” 代表着全方位创新赋能与高回报投资前景。李强在中国东北沿海城市大连举办的第十七届世界经济论坛新领军者年会(夏季达沃斯论坛)上发表讲话,着重指出,中国具备提供高回报投资机遇的潜力,并致力于推动全球互利共赢的技术合作。 The ongoing visit to China of David Eby, premier of Canada's British Columbia province, serves as a testament to the substantive appeal of "China Opportunity 2.0". Eby has stressed that the purpose of his trip is to strengthen British Columbia's ties with China as a strategic move to diversify the province's trade relationships.加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省(卑诗省)省长尹大卫正在访华,此次行程充分印证了 “中国机遇 2.0” 实实在在的吸引力。尹大卫强调,此行旨在深化卑诗省与中国的联系,以此作为实现本省贸易多元化的战略举措。 "We're seeking to reduce our reliance on the United States and obviously, Asian markets have been a major focus for us," Eby told the media last week before embarking on his first China trip on Saturday. This includes the goal of doubling trade to non-US markets within the next 10 years. "China will be part of that," he added.尹大卫上周六开启首次访华之旅前向媒体表示:“我们希望降低对美国市场的依赖,亚洲市场显然是我们的重点开拓方向。” 卑诗省计划未来十年将对非美市场贸易规模翻一番,他补充道:“中国将是这一布局的重要组成部分。” By targeting key sectors such as forestry products, energy — specifically liquefied natural gas development — and tourism, he is seeking to unlock new avenues for growth and job creation in British Columbia. This aligns with the principles of "China Opportunity 2.0", which emphasizes mutual benefits and shared development.尹大卫此行聚焦林产品、能源(重点为液化天然气开发)、旅游等核心领域,力求为卑诗省开辟全新增长路径、创造就业岗位,这与 “中国机遇 2.0” 倡导互利共赢、共同发展的内核高度契合。 The visit follows Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's trip to China earlier this year, the first by a Canadian prime minister in eight years. Carney's visit laid the groundwork for the healthy development of China-Canada relations, with multiple cooperation agreements signed across trade, customs, energy, construction, culture and public security. Eby's trip builds on this momentum, signaling a proactive approach to deepening collaboration and exploring innovative opportunities. According to Canadian media, his itinerary includes Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.此次访华紧随加拿大总理马克・卡尼今年早些时候的对华之行,这是八年来加拿大总理首次访华。卡尼访华为中加关系健康发展奠定基础,双方在经贸、海关、能源、基建、文化、公安等多个领域签署多项合作协议。尹大卫此行延续双边合作向好势头,释放出加方主动深化合作、挖掘创新合作机遇的积极信号。据加拿大媒体消息,尹大卫此行将到访北京、上海、广州三座城市。 The strategic sectors targeted for collaboration are indicative of a balanced approach that prioritizes mutual benefits and sustainable growth.双方敲定的重点合作领域,体现出兼顾互利共赢、可持续发展的均衡合作思路。 China-Canada relations have experienced ups and downs in recent years, but there are no territorial disputes or clash of fundamental interests between the two countries, and they can become partners for achieving mutual success.近年来中加关系历经起伏,但两国不存在领土争端,核心利益也无根本冲突,完全可以成为互利共赢的合作伙伴。 This year marks the 56th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Canada, as well as the 21st anniversary of the establishment of their strategic partnership. It is an important chance to reflect on the past and think about the future. Eby's visit shows that an objective and rational attitude toward China is conducive to strengthening cooperation with a positive and open spirit. Reinforcing this, Canada's Minister of International Trade Maninder Sidhu recently revealed in a media interview that he plans to meet with his Chinese counterpart this fall.今年是中加建交 56 周年,也是两国建立战略伙伴关系 21 周年,是回望过往、共谋未来的重要契机。尹大卫此次访华印证,以客观理性态度看待中国,秉持积极开放心态,才能持续深化双边合作。加拿大国际贸易部长曼宁德・西杜近日接受媒体采访时也透露,计划于今年秋季与中方贸易主管部门负责人会晤,进一步释放合作信号。 Although certain Western policymakers have been drawn into the rhetorical vortex of a purported "China Shock 2.0", the evolving arc of China-Canada ties points to the emergence of a countervailing cohort of countries that chooses to assess the situation objectively and remains open to the considerable potential of "China Opportunity 2.0".尽管部分西方政策制定者深陷所谓 “中国冲击 2.0” 的舆论漩涡,但中加关系持续向好的发展轨迹表明,越来越多国家选择客观研判形势,主动拥抱 “中国机遇 2.0” 蕴藏的巨大潜力,形成与遏制论调相悖的主流声音。 As Li put it in his speech at last week's Summer Davos, to overcome the global growth challenge, innovation-driven cooperation is imperative. To this end, countries should forge closer connectivity and collaboration by joining forces and pooling resources to innovate. China possesses a complete industrial system and well-integrated industry clusters, which underpin efficient, reliable production and supply chains for businesses worldwide. By rejecting the notion of a "China Shock 2.0", countries stand to capture the vast opportunities presented by China's dynamic economy and superlarge market.正如李强总理上周在夏季达沃斯论坛演讲中所言,想要破解全球经济增长难题,创新驱动的国际合作必不可少。各国应当携手聚力、整合创新资源,深化互联互通与产业协作。中国拥有完整工业体系与高度集聚的产业集群,能够为全球企业搭建高效稳定的生产供应链。摒弃 “中国冲击 2.0” 的错误论调,各国方能共享中国蓬勃发展的经济与超大规模市场带来的海量机遇。innovation /ˌɪnəˈveɪʃn/n. 创新;革新diversification /daɪˌvɜːsɪfɪˈkeɪʃn/n. 多元化;多样化imperative /ɪmˈperətɪv/adj. 必要的;势在必行的vortex /ˈvɔːteks/n. 漩涡;舆论旋涡
