英语新闻丨上海进博会创下多项纪录
Multiple records and trading vibrancy witnessed at the just-concluded 9th China International Import Expo in Shanghai mirror China's continued efforts to advance innovation and stabilize global trade to offset various headwinds, said experts and company executives. 专家和企业高管表示，刚刚在上海闭幕的第九届中国国际进口博览会亮点纷呈、交易活跃，彰显中国持续推进创新、稳定全球贸易、对冲各类不利挑战的努力。 The value of intended deals reached at the expo rose 2.3 percent year-on-year to hit a record $854.5 billion, Xiao Lu, deputy Party secretary of the China International Import Expo Bureau, said at a news briefing on Tuesday, at the closing of the six-day event. 中国国际进口博览局党委副书记肖露在这场为期六天的展会闭幕后的周二新闻发布会上介绍，本届进博会意向成交额同比增长 2.3%，达创纪录的 854.5 亿美元。 Up to 485 new products, technologies and service items made their debut at this year's CIIE, up from 461 last year to reach a new high, Xiao said. 肖露介绍，共有 485 项新产品、新技术、新服务在本届进博会首发，高于去年的 461 项，创下新高。 Michael Jiang, head of Clients and Markets at KPMG China, said that the size and capacity of this year's CIIE has further demonstrated the demand potential and innovation vitality of the massive Chinese market, and companies discover more opportunities via the expo. 毕马威中国客户与市场主管江立勤称，本届进博会的规模与承载能力进一步展现出中国大市场的需求潜力与创新活力，企业能够借助进博会发掘更多机遇。 Chinese and foreign firms alike can expand their cooperation by efficiently matching their demand, deepening industry coordination, seeking technology innovation and upgrading, as well as rebuilding the supply chain via the annual event, Jiang said. 江立勤表示，中外企业都可借助这一年度盛会高效对接需求、深化产业协同、谋求技术创新升级、重构供应链，拓展合作空间。 The expo reflects China's leading position in platform-driven trade, which has fundamentally changed the trajectory of global trade, transitioning from the domination of supply to demand, said Chen Wenling, senior researcher at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges (CCIEE). 中国国际经济交流中心资深研究员陈雯玲认为，进博会体现出中国在平台型贸易领域的领先地位，从根本上改变全球贸易发展轨迹，推动贸易格局由供给主导向需求牵引转变。 "China is like a tailor, stitching together the fractures in global trade, one stitch at a time," Chen said. 陈雯玲说：“中国如同一名裁缝，一针一线弥合全球贸易的裂痕。” The CIIE has also facilitated the upgrading and transformation of the Chinese economy at the demand end via the expo's high-quality, diversified and personalized product supply, added Chen. 她补充说，进博会依托高品质、多元化、个性化展品供给，也从需求端助力中国经济转型升级。 Patrik Ziman, CFO of Boehringer Ingelheim for Greater China, said the German company has introduced about 50 innovative products into China by participating in eight editions of the expo. 勃林格殷格翰大中华区首席财务官帕特里克・齐曼表示，这家德国企业通过连续八届参展进博会，已向中国引入约 50 款创新产品。 Presence at the CIIE has helped the company conduct deeper exchanges with local governments, medical service providers, research institutes and industry partners. 参展进博会帮助该企业与地方政府、医疗机构、科研院所及行业伙伴开展更深入的交流。 This has deepened the company's better understanding of the Chinese market and its integration of the Chinese innovative ecosystem, Ziman said. 齐曼称，这加深了企业对中国市场的理解，助力企业融入中国创新生态体系。 The expo itself has evolved from a trading platform to an international incubator, said Chen of the CCIEE. 陈雯玲表示，进博会自身已经从交易平台，成长为一个国际孵化器。 The demonstration of quantum technology, bio-manufacturing, hydrogen and nuclear fusion is in line with China's development goals in future-oriented industries. 展会上展出的量子技术、生物制造、氢能、核聚变相关成果，契合中国面向未来产业的发展目标。 Advanced technologies both from home and abroad are connected and applied in real-case scenarios more efficiently, she said. 她表示，国内外先进技术得以高效对接，落地应用到真实场景之中。 The innovation incubation special section at this year's CIIE saw unprecedented participation by displaying 633 startup projects from nearly 40 countries and regions, up 20 percent from last year. 本届进博会创新孵化专区参展热度空前，展出来自近 40 个国家和地区的 633 个初创项目，较去年增长 20%。 "The CIIE has been repeating one truth: China is not only where global innovation can be applied, but also jointly created," said Mark Wang, president and CEO of HSBC China. 汇丰银行（中国）有限公司行长兼行政总裁王云峰表示：“进博会一直在印证一个道理：中国不仅是全球创新的应用地，更是全球创新的共创地。” vibrancy /ˈvaɪbrənsi/n. 活力，蓬勃态势 offset /ˈɒfset/v. 抵消；对冲 trajectory /trəˈdʒektəri/n. 轨迹，发展路径 incubator /ˈɪŋkjubeɪtə(r)/n. 孵化器

英语新闻丨美国参展商看好中国市场
Food and agriculture exhibitors from the United States are actively pursuing opportunities presented by China's vast market, and they are increasingly optimistic about the future of agricultural trade between the two countries. 美国食品和农业领域的参展商正积极把握中国广阔市场带来的机遇，并对两国农业贸易的未来日益充满信心。 The American Food and Agriculture Pavilion at the ongoing ninth edition of the China International Import Expo in Shanghai has expanded its exhibition area to a record 400 square meters. 在正在上海举行的第九届中国国际进口博览会上，美国食品与农业馆的展览面积扩大至创纪录的400平方米。 The pavilion, which has gathered 18 exhibitors representing 41 US agricultural associations and small and medium-sized enterprises, showcases a variety of products — from beef and pork to American ginseng, wine, almonds and berries. 该展馆汇聚了18家参展商，代表美国41家农业协会及中小企业，展品种类丰富，包括牛肉、猪肉、西洋参、葡萄酒、杏仁和浆果等。 On Friday, US exhibitors signed six cooperation agreements during the pavilion's opening, with the total value exceeding $650 million. 周五，在美国食品与农业馆开馆仪式期间，美国参展商签署了六项合作协议，协议总金额超过6.5亿美元。 Hang Tung Resources, a grain trading company in the US state of Illinois, received the largest order on the pavilion as it concluded three deals for sorghum and wheat, with a combined value of nearly $600 million. 美国伊利诺伊州粮食贸易公司Hang Tung Resources达成了该展馆金额最大的一笔订单。该公司签署了三项高粱和小麦交易协议，总金额接近6亿美元。 CLB Management, a New York-based company that facilitates exports to China, secured a beef procurement contract worth $51 million at the CIIE, while Dynamite, an animal nutrition enterprise based in the US state of Idaho, sealed a deal worth $1.5 million. 总部位于纽约、专门促进对华出口业务的CLB Management在进博会上签署了一份价值5100万美元的牛肉采购合同。与此同时，美国爱达荷州动物营养企业Dynamite也达成了一笔价值150万美元的交易。 Californian wine, with its distinctive, fruity flavor, also drew large crowds. 加利福尼亚葡萄酒以其独特的果香风味吸引了大批参观者。 Christopher Beros, director for Greater China and Southeast Asia at the California Wine Institute, told China Daily that the industry had grown rapidly before the recent challenging years, and that he remains "extremely positive and optimistic" about the future of US-China trade. 加州葡萄酒协会大中华区及东南亚地区总监Christopher Beros在接受《中国日报》采访时表示，在近几年面临挑战之前，该行业曾实现快速发展。他对美中贸易的未来仍然“极为看好、充满乐观”。 Beros noted that the US and China have "a very long and close" connection in terms of people-to-people exchanges. Beros指出，在人文交流方面，美国和中国之间有着“非常悠久而密切”的联系。 As the world's two largest economies are becoming more sophisticated in many ways, it is "imperative" for the two sides to expand trade cooperation, he said. 他表示，随着世界两大经济体在诸多方面不断发展成熟，双方扩大贸易合作“势在必行”。 Don Anderson, founder and CEO of EVO Wine Group, who has traveled to China for business for more than five decades and is attending the CIIE for the fifth time, said that he sees China as the world's largest potential wine market. EVO Wine Group创始人兼首席执行官Don Anderson表示，中国是全球最具潜力的葡萄酒市场。他从事对华商务往来已有五十多年，此次是第五次参加进博会。 "China has provided a premier platform for everybody in the world to trade both ways. If you want to look at the future, the future is in China," said Anderson, 76. 76岁的Anderson说：“中国为世界各地的人们提供了一个一流的平台，让大家能够开展双向贸易。如果你想展望未来，那么未来就在中国。” US berry company Driscoll's, which has invested more than 3 billion yuan ($450 million) in China, said its commitment has yielded fruitful outcomes. 美国浆果企业Driscoll's表示，公司已在中国投资超过30亿元人民币（约合4.5亿美元），多年来的深耕已取得丰硕成果。 Since establishing its first farm in Jianshui county, Yunnan province, in 2013, Driscoll's cultivated land share in China has grown from 6.67 hectares to over 4,000 hectares, with an annual output exceeding 40,000 metric tons. 自2013年在云南省建水县建立首个农场以来，Driscoll's在中国的种植面积已从6.67公顷扩大至4,000多公顷，年产量超过4万吨。 As Chinese consumers' demand for high-quality berries continues to grow, the company has also experienced sustained market growth. 随着中国消费者对高品质浆果的需求持续增长，该公司在中国市场也保持着稳步发展。 "We have high-quality varieties, advanced technology and industry experience accumulated over a century, which we have brought and localized in China. “我们拥有优质品种、先进技术以及一个多世纪积累的行业经验，并将这些资源引入中国，推动本土化发展。 Over the past decade, we have been growing with local farmers and partners, cultivating new opportunities for both," said Jon Gleeson, general manager for Asia, Australia and New Zealand at Driscoll's. 过去十年间，我们与当地农户和合作伙伴共同成长，为双方培育了新的发展机遇。”Driscoll's亚洲、澳大利亚及新西兰地区总经理Jon Gleeson说。 For Jenna Scott, chairwoman of sustainability and value creation at Indiana Soybean Alliance, China has been a critical market for her family for generations. 对于印第安纳州大豆联盟可持续发展与价值创造委员会主席Jenna Scott而言，中国几代以来一直都是她家族的重要市场。 A fourth-generation owner of her family business Cox Farms, Scott cultivates 647.5 hectares of row crops each year, including corn and soybeans, and produces 70 million vegetable transplants. 作为家族企业Cox Farms的第四代经营者，Scott每年种植647.5公顷的行栽作物，包括玉米和大豆，并培育7,000万株蔬菜幼苗。 As a first-time visitor to China and a first-time participant at the CIIE, Scott said she sees a "bright future" for her business. Scott此次是首次访问中国，也是首次参加进博会。她表示，她看好自己企业在中国的发展前景，认为未来一片光明。 "Everybody is talking and exchanging business ideas. … China is critical for us, just as we are for China. We both need each other to grow together," she added. 她补充说：“大家都在交流，分享商业理念……中国对我们至关重要，就像我们对中国同样重要一样。我们双方都需要彼此，才能共同发展。” According to China's General Administration of Customs, the value of bilateral trade in 2025 reached $574.7 billion. 中国海关总署数据显示，2025年中美双边贸易额达到5,747亿美元。 Qiu Yong, deputy director-general of the Department of American and Oceanian Affairs at the Ministry of Commerce, said at a CIIE dialogue event that China-US economic and trade relations are essentially mutually beneficial. 商务部美大司副司长邱勇在进博会一场对话活动上表示，中美经贸关系本质上是互利共赢的。 "China and the US can support each other's success to achieve shared prosperity and benefit the world. “中国和美国能够相互支持、彼此成就，实现共同繁荣，并为世界带来福祉。 Agricultural trade is one of the highlights of China-US economic and trade cooperation, which we will support as always to promote a stable relationship between the two nations," Qiu said. 农业贸易是中美经贸合作的亮点之一。我们将一如既往地支持农业贸易发展，推动两国关系保持稳定。”邱勇说。 US Consul General in Shanghai Christian Marchant noted at the dialogue that agriculture is one of the most enduring and mutually beneficial pillars of the China-US relationship, standing out today as a bright spot on the bilateral agenda. 美国驻上海总领事Christian Marchant在这场对话活动中指出，农业是中美关系中历史最悠久、互利性最强的支柱领域之一，如今也成为两国双边议程中的一个亮点。 pavilion /pəˈvɪliən/ 展馆；展亭 procurement /prəˈkjʊəmənt/ 采购；采购活动 bilateral /ˌbaɪˈlætərəl/ 双边的 cultivation /ˌkʌltɪˈveɪʃən/ 种植；培育

A total of 2,360 delegates to the congress will be elected by 38 electoral units across the country. 中国共产党第二十一次全国代表大会代表选举工作已经启动，全国共划分为 38 个选举单位，将选举产生 2360 名代表。 The Party's 21st National Congress is scheduled to be held in Beijing in the second half of 2027. According to a circular released on Saturday by the CPC Central Committee on the election of delegates, the process will run through the end of June 2027. 党的二十一大拟于 2027 年下半年在北京召开。中共中央于周六印发代表选举工作通知，选举工作将持续至 2027 年 6 月底前。 The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, which is responsible for detailed arrangements for the election, stressed that the election of the delegates is an important foundation for the congress, which comes at a critical time when the CPC has been working to basically realize socialist modernization and heading toward the second centenary goal of building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects. 负责选举具体组织安排的中共中央组织部强调，选好代表是开好大会的重要基础。本次大会召开之际，正值我国向着基本实现社会主义现代化、全面建成社会主义现代化强国第二个百年奋斗目标迈进的关键时期。 The 21st CPC National Congress will be a highly important meeting and an event of great political significance for both the Party and the country, as a new CPC Central Committee and a new CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will be elected, an official from the department said in a statement on Sunday. 中组部一名负责人周日表示，党的二十一大将选举产生新一届中央委员会和新一届中央纪律检查委员会，对党和国家而言，是一次十分重要、具有重大政治意义的会议。 The 2,360 delegates to be elected should be outstanding Party members who carry the trust of more than 101 million CPC members and over 5.4 million Party organizations as they fulfill their duties at the congress, the official noted. 该负责人指出，当选的 2360 名代表，应当是优秀共产党员，肩负全国1亿1百多万名党员、540 多万个党组织的重托，在大会上履职尽责。 The successful election of delegates and completing all the work of the congress are vital to consolidating the Party's long-term governing position and enabling the Party to fully exercise its role as the leadership core, and they are also closely linked to the Party's and the country's lasting prosperity and stability, the statement said. 声明称，选好代表、开好大会，对于巩固党的长期执政地位、充分发挥党总揽全局、协调各方的领导核心作用，维护党和国家长治久安至关重要。 Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, has attached great importance to carrying out sound work related to the election. While hearing multiple reports on this matter, he presided over meetings of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, at which a circular on the election was deliberated and adopted. 中共中央总书记习近平高度重视本次代表选举工作，多次听取相关汇报，主持中央政治局常委会会议、中央政治局会议，审议通过选举工作通知。 On eligibility, the official said that candidates are judged first on their political stance and awareness, as well as their capacity for political judgment, thinking and implementation. Their integrity and conduct are also closely examined. 关于代表条件，该负责人表示，首要考察候选人的政治立场、政治觉悟以及政治判断力、政治领悟力、政治执行力，同时严格考察品行作风、廉洁情况。 The delegates elected should be well-structured in composition and broadly representative, drawn from fields ranging from the economy, science and technology, national defense, law enforcement and the justice system to education, public communication, culture, health, sports and social administration. They should also include workers in new forms of employment. 代表结构要合理、具有广泛代表性，人选覆盖经济、科技、国防、政法、教育、宣传、文化、卫生、体育、社会治理等各个领域，同时包含新就业形态劳动者。 Stressing that frontline workers must make up an appropriate proportion, the official specified that among delegates from provincial-level regions, central financial institutions and central State-owned enterprises in Beijing, Party members working on the frontline need to generally account for at least one-third. Among delegates from central Party and State departments, the proportion should generally be no less than 15 percent. 负责人强调要保证生产和工作第一线代表占合理比例：省区市、中央金融系统、中央企业系统（在京）的代表中，一线党员比例一般不少于三分之一；中央和国家机关代表中，一线党员比例一般不少于 15%。 In areas where the new economy and emerging business are booming and new forms of employment are widespread, outstanding Party members from these groups should also be nominated as candidates, the official said, highlighting that particular attention needs to be paid to nominating model workers, farmers and professionals. Additionally, women Party members and Party members from ethnic minority groups should each account for a certain proportion of the delegates. 负责人提出，新经济、新业态、新就业形态集中地区，要推荐该领域优秀党员作为人选；注重推荐劳动模范、农民、专业技术人员；同时保证女党员、少数民族党员代表占有一定比例。 Asked how the election will be conducted, the official said it consists of five steps: nomination of candidates, assessment of nominees by electoral units, formation of a preliminary list of candidates, formation of a preparatory list of candidates, and formal election. 在被问及选举流程时，该负责人介绍分为五个环节：推荐提名、选举单位考察、确定代表候选人初步人选、确定代表候选人预备人选、会议选举。 The delegates will be elected through a process in which the number of candidates must exceed the number of seats by more than 15 percent, the official said, adding that the delegates elected will be vetted by a qualification review committee prior to the national congress. 代表选举实行差额选举，差额比例多于 15%；选出的代表，在大会召开前还要经过代表资格审查委员会审查确认。 While calling for all units to attach great importance to the election, the official emphasized the need to strengthen oversight throughout the electoral process. 负责人要求各选举单位高度重视此项工作，强化选举全过程监督。 delegate /ˈdelɪɡət/n. 代表 electoral /ɪˈlektərəl/adj. 选举的 consolidate /kənˈsɒlɪdeɪt/v. 巩固 oversight /ˈəʊvəsaɪt/n. 监督

英语新闻丨受国际能源涨价推动，中国工业出厂通胀攀升
China's factory-gate inflation climbed to a nearly four-and-a-half-year high in October as global energy prices rose, while consumer price growth remained modest, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed on Monday. 国家统计局周一发布数据显示，受全球能源价格上涨影响，10月中国工业生产者出厂价格（PPI）同比涨幅升至近四年半新高，而居民消费价格涨幅保持温和。 The producer price index, which tracks factory-gate prices, rose 5.7 percent year-on-year in October, up from 5 percent in September, the bureau said. It was the fastest increase since June 2022, when producer prices rose 6.1 percent, according to the bureau's data. 统计局表示，反映工厂出厂价格的工业生产者出厂价格指数10月同比上涨5.7%，高于9月的5.0%，为2022年6月（当时同比上涨6.1%）以来最高涨幅。 On a month-on-month basis, producer prices rose 0.7 percent in October, down from a 1.2 percent gain in September. 环比来看，10月PPI上涨0.7%，涨幅较9月的1.2%有所回落。-2-4 Six energy-related industries, including oil and gas extraction and petroleum refining, accounted for more than 80 percent of the increase, said Dong Lijuan, chief statistician at the bureau's urban department, citing higher global energy prices and stronger fuel demand ahead of winter. 国家统计局城市司首席统计师董莉娟表示，油气开采、石油加工等六个能源相关行业对PPI涨幅的贡献超过八成，主要原因是国际能源价格走高、入冬前燃料需求上升。 "Progress in managing industrial capacity and rapid advances in artificial intelligence also lifted prices in parts of the raw materials and equipment manufacturing sectors," Dong added. 董莉娟补充说，工业产能治理有序推进、人工智能快速发展，也带动部分原材料和装备制造行业价格上行。-10 Meanwhile, the consumer price index rose 0.7 percent year-on-year in October, compared with 0.9 percent in September. Gasoline prices climbed 22.4 percent from a year earlier, contributing about 0.63 percentage points to CPI growth, the bureau said. 与此同时，居民消费价格指数（CPI）10月同比上涨0.7%，低于9月的0.9%。统计局数据显示，汽油价格同比上涨22.4%，影响CPI同比上涨约0.63个百分点。-1-7 Lower food prices helped temper consumer price growth in October, with its year-on-year decline widening by 1.2 percentage points to 2.9 percent. Prices for fresh vegetables, pork and fresh fruit fell 16.9 percent, 8.6 percent and 3.8 percent, respectively, lowering the year-on-year CPI increase by about 0.54 percentage points, the bureau said. 食品价格回落抑制了10月消费价格涨幅，食品价格同比降幅扩大1.2个百分点至2.9%。鲜菜、猪肉和鲜果价格分别下降16.9%、8.6%和3.8%，合计影响CPI同比下降约0.54个百分点。-1-3 The CPI remained unchanged month-on-month in October after rising 0.2 percent in September, the bureau said. 统计局称，CPI环比由9月上涨0.2%转为持平。-1-7 Core CPI — which excludes food and energy prices — rose 0.8 percent year-on-year in October, easing from a 1 percent increase in September, the bureau added. 核心CPI剔除食品和能源价格，10月同比上涨0.8%，涨幅较9月的1.0%回落0.2个百分点。 inflation /ɪnˈfleɪʃn/n. 通货膨胀 index /ˈɪndeks/n. 指数 modest /ˈmɒdɪst/adj. 温和的；适度的 underlying /ˌʌndəˈlaɪɪŋ/adj. 潜在的；根本的

英语新闻丨What to know about election of delegates to 21st CPC National Congress
The Communist Party of China (CPC), the world's largest governing party, has launched the process of electing delegates to its 21st National Congress, which is scheduled to be held in the second half of 2027 in Beijing. An official from the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee has explained why the election matters, how it will be organized, and what standards eligible candidates must meet. Here is what to know about the election. The 21st CPC National Congress comes at a critical time when the CPC has been working to basically realize socialist modernization and heading toward the Second Centenary Goal. It will be a highly important meeting and an event of great political significance for both the Party and the country, as a new CPC Central Committee and a new CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will be elected. The 2,360 delegates to be elected should be outstanding Party members who carry the trust of more than 101 million CPC members and over 5.4 million Party organizations as they fulfill their duties at the congress. The successful election of delegates and the completion of all tasks at the congress are vital to consolidating the Party's long-term governing position and enabling the Party to fully exercise its role as the leadership core. They are also closely linked to the prosperity and long-term stability of the Party and the country. The election should be a process of studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, particularly Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building. Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, has attached great importance to carrying out sound work related to the election. He heard multiple reports on this matter. He also presided over meetings of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, at which a circular on the election was deliberated and adopted. The key to ensuring the success of the election is upholding the Party's overall leadership and the centralized, unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee. Emphasis must be placed on examining candidates' political stance and awareness, as well as their capacity for political judgment, thinking and implementation. Their integrity and conduct must also be subject to strict scrutiny. The delegates elected should be well-structured in composition and broadly representative, drawing from a wide range of fields, including the economy, science and technology, national defense, law enforcement and the justice system, education, public communication, culture, health, sports and social administration. They should also include workers in new forms of employment. Front-line workers should account for an appropriate proportion of the delegates. Among delegates from provincial-level regions, central financial institutions and central state-owned enterprises in Beijing, Party members working on the front line should generally account for at least one-third. Among delegates from central Party and state departments, the proportion should generally be no less than 15 percent. In regions where the new economy and new forms of business are thriving and there are large numbers of workers in new forms of employment, outstanding Party members from among these workers should also be recommended as candidates. Particular attention should be paid to recommending model workers, farmers and professionals as candidates. Women Party members and Party members from ethnic minority groups should each make up a certain proportion of the delegates. Political, organizational and electoral disciplines must be strictly observed throughout the election process, with efforts made to prevent vote-buying and other electoral violations and strengthen oversight and enforcement. The electoral procedure consists of five steps: nomination of candidates, assessment of nominees by electoral units, formation of a preliminary list of candidates, formation of a preparatory list of candidates, and formal election. The delegates will be elected through a process in which the number of candidates must exceed the number of seats by more than 15 percent. The delegates elected will be vetted by a qualification review committee prior to the national congress.

As a decisive blue wave sweeps the United States in the midterm elections, with the Democrats winning clear majorities in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, analysts expect stronger scrutiny of the administration led by US President Donald Trump, but noted that the shift in congressional power may not necessarily effect major changes in the US' foreign policy. 随着一股声势浩大的蓝潮席卷美国中期选举，民主党在参众两院均拿下明确多数席位，分析人士预计特朗普政府将面临更严格的监督，但同时指出，国会权力更迭未必会令美国外交政策出现重大转向。 As of Wednesday, Democrats and independents who caucus with them had secured at least 54 seats in the 100-member Senate, including traditionally Republican strongholds such as Texas, South Carolina and Kansas, while counting continued in some states. 截至周三，民主党及与民主党结成党团的无党派人士已在 100 席的参议院拿下至少 54 席，其中包括得克萨斯州、南卡罗来纳州、堪萨斯州等传统共和党票仓，部分州的选票统计仍在进行。 In the 435-member House, Democrats had already won 240 seats to cross the majority threshold, even though some races had not yet been called. 在共 435 个席位的众议院，民主党已经拿下 240 席，跨过多数门槛，部分选区的选举结果尚未官宣。 The newly elected Congress will be sworn in on Jan 3. 新一届国会将于 1 月 3 日宣誓就职。 In a discussion hosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs on Wednesday, Daniel Drezner, a professor at Tufts University in Massachusetts, linked the US' foreign policy and the economic concerns of voters. 周三，在芝加哥全球事务委员会举办的研讨会上，马萨诸塞州塔夫茨大学教授丹尼尔・德雷兹纳将美国外交政策与选民关切的经济议题联系在一起。 "Americans fundamentally do not care about foreign policy, unless it affects their bottom line," Drezner said, as the discussion repeatedly veered between the impact of the Iran war and the increasing cost of living. “美国人本质上并不关心外交政策，除非它影响到自身实际收益。” 德雷兹纳说。整场讨论反复在伊朗战争的影响与生活成本上涨之间切换。 Justin Logan, director of defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute in Washington, DC, wrote on the institute's website on Wednesday that the Iran war played an unusually important electoral role because voters had to bear the brunt of high energy prices. 华盛顿卡托研究所国防与外交政策研究主任贾斯汀・洛根周三在该研究所官网撰文称，伊朗战争在本次选举中起到非同寻常的作用，选民不得不承受能源高价带来的冲击。 In his first comments on Wednesday after Democrats pulled off a striking election performance, Trump largely agreed with Vice-President JD Vance, who publicly ruminated on the Iran war being a catastrophe for Republicans. 民主党取得亮眼选举结果后，特朗普于周三首次发声，他大体认同副总统 JD・万斯的看法，万斯公开认为伊朗战争是共和党遭遇的一场灾难。 "It's largely true because it drove gasoline up a little bit," Trump said, while Vance said in a post on social media that the "real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone". “这话大体没错，因为油价确实被推高了一些。” 特朗普表示。万斯则在社交媒体发帖称，“我们失利的真正原因几乎人尽皆知。” While the newly elected Congress is likely to prepare a vast oversight agenda to rein in the Trump administration, Jack Midgley, an adjunct associate professor at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, told China Daily that the US president's veto power and broad executive authority would limit the Democrats' ability to enact major legislation. Congressional investigations could take precedence over lawmaking, he said. 尽管新一届国会大概率会推出一揽子监督议程以约束特朗普政府，华盛顿乔治敦大学兼职副教授杰克・米德格利在接受《中国日报》采访时表示，总统拥有否决权以及广泛行政权力，会限制民主党出台重大法案的空间。他说，国会调查或将优先于立法工作。 Drezner, from Tufts University, drew a distinction between the Democratic Congress elected in 2006, which failed to prevent then president George W. Bush's troop surge in Iraq, and the Democratic Congress elected in 1974, which built on Watergate-era reforms passed by its predecessor to help sustain and enforce stronger limits on executive power. 塔夫茨大学的德雷兹纳对比了两届民主党掌控的国会：2006 年选出的民主党国会未能阻止时任总统小布什向伊拉克增兵；而 1974 年选出的民主党国会，在水门事件前期改革基础上，持续落实、强化对行政权力的约束。 The professor said that he expects the newly elected Congress to land somewhere between those two precedents. 这位教授称，他预计新一届国会的表现会介于这两个先例之间。 Experts from the Council on Foreign Relations in New York noted that Democrats would chair committees, exercise leverage over federal spending and, through the Senate, decide whether to confirm senior administration nominees. 纽约外交关系协会的专家指出，民主党将执掌各委员会，对联邦开支施加影响力，并依托参议院，决定是否批准政府高层提名人选。 Pierre Yared, a senior fellow at the CFR, said that Democratic control of Congress is unlikely to unilaterally change Trump's tariff policy, because the president is exercising congressionally delegated authority. 该协会高级研究员皮埃尔・亚雷德表示，即便民主党掌控国会，也很难单方面改变特朗普的关税政策，因为总统行使的是国会授予的权力。 Drezner, however, indicated the possibility of a bipartisan action, because some Republicans also oppose Trump's tariffs. 不过德雷兹纳认为，两党仍存在联合行动的可能性，部分共和党人同样反对特朗普的关税政策。 Meanwhile, fiscal disputes could prove consequential beyond Washington. Josh Lipsky and Bart Piasecki of the Atlantic Council warned in an article published on Wednesday that negotiations on federal spending and the debt ceiling in 2027 could create uncertainty for US financial markets and the global economy. 与此同时，财政争端带来的影响或将溢出华盛顿。大西洋理事会的乔希・利普斯基与巴特・皮亚塞基周三发文警示，2027 年联邦开支与债务上限谈判，可能给美国金融市场和全球经济带来不确定性。 Reflecting on other areas of foreign policy, Christopher Preble, a senior fellow and director at the Stimson Center in Washington, called on lawmakers to use oversight and funding powers to press for an end to the Iran war. 谈及其他外交领域，华盛顿史汀生中心高级研究员、项目主任克里斯托弗・普雷布尔呼吁议员利用监督与拨款权力，推动结束伊朗战争。 Leslie Vinjamuri, president and CEO of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, said that Trump could pursue diplomatic agreements, including on Ukraine, to build a presidential legacy at this critical juncture of his term, rather than becoming more confrontational abroad. 芝加哥全球事务委员会主席兼首席执行官莱斯利・温贾穆里认为，特朗普在任期这个关键节点，可能会推进包括乌克兰议题在内的外交协议，打造执政遗产，而非在海外采取更强硬的对抗路线。 Joshua Kurlantzick, a senior fellow for Southeast Asia at the CFR, noted that the US' Asian allies could expect and welcome stronger congressional oversight, but they should not expect immediate tariff relief given Trump's veto power. 外交关系协会东南亚事务高级研究员约书亚・库兰茨克指出，美国亚洲盟友可以期待并欢迎国会加强监督，但鉴于特朗普的否决权，不应指望关税立刻放宽。 Andrew Hyde, a senior fellow and director at the Stimson Center, warned European governments not to count on Democratic control of Congress bringing back the old transatlantic relationship. 史汀生中心高级研究员、项目主任安德鲁・海德提醒欧洲各国政府，不要指望民主党掌控国会就能恢复昔日跨大西洋关系。 For Democrats, gaining control is only the beginning of a tough test. Vinjamuri, from the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, said what truly matters to voters is whether the party can help deliver lower food, housing and gasoline prices. 对民主党而言，拿下国会控制权只是严峻考验的开端。该委员会的温贾穆里说，选民真正关心的，是民主党能否推动食品、住房和汽油价格回落。 scrutiny /ˈskruːtəni/n. 仔细审查，监督 precedent /ˈpresɪdənt/n. 先例 bipartisan /ˌbaɪˈpɑːtɪzn/adj. 两党的，跨党派的 juncture /ˈdʒʌŋktʃə(r)/n. 关键时刻，节点

社论丨CIIE demonstrates opportunities and potential of Chinese market
There is a selective myopia in the way some in the West discuss China, focusing too sharply on its export capabilities while overlooking what the world's second-largest economy imports and the opportunities its vast market offers foreign businesses. As protectionism and unilateralism disrupt the global trading system, the ninth China International Import Expo, opening in Shanghai on Thursday, offers a useful corrective lens for this shortsightedness. Since its inception in 2018 as the world's first national-level exhibition dedicated to imports, the CIIE has evolved into an international public good: a platform through which businesses, economies and developing countries can gain access to China's development opportunities. This year's event has attracted 4,142 overseas exhibitors from 148 countries and regions, including more than 2,000 first-time participants. That is hardly the profile of a market "taking advantage of" others. The persistence of the so-called "China Shock" narrative rests on an inversion. China's manufacturing competitiveness is falsely presented as a "threat", while the benefits of its enormous market, comprehensive industrial ecosystem and growing demand are routinely pushed into the background. The result is a political construct that turns economic interdependence into a zero-sum contest. The facts tell a different story. China's foreign trade in goods reached 39.94 trillion yuan ($5.94 trillion) in the first three quarters of 2026, up 18.8 percent year-on-year. More tellingly, imports grew by 22.3 percent to 16.74 trillion yuan, outpacing the 16.4 percent increase in exports to 23.2 trillion yuan. This is not the typical picture of an economy interested only in selling to the rest of the world. Nor is the story confined to merchandise. China's imports and exports of services rose 8.5 percent to 5.77 trillion yuan during the same period year-on-year. Services exports increased by 14.8 percent to 2.27 trillion yuan, while imports reached 3.5 trillion yuan. The services trade deficit narrowed by 132.66 billion yuan year-on-year. These figures suggest an economy whose international integration is becoming more sophisticated, extending well beyond factories and shipping containers. The CIIE makes these opportunities tangible. For African merchants, participation helps them replace intermediaries with direct relationships with Chinese buyers. German logistics company Jungheinrich now uses its Shanghai manufacturing base to serve 42 countries and regions. That shows access to China can generate business, investment and innovation far beyond China itself. The benefits are not reserved for multinational corporations. This year's expo has increased free exhibition space for least developed countries by 17 percent. China's extension of eligible zero-tariff treatment to goods from 53 African countries also provides a wider framework for developing countries to expand their exports. The broader context matters, too. At the 37th APEC Ministerial Meeting on Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Commerce Minister Wang Wentao called on member economies to uphold free trade, strengthen regional integration and advance cooperation in openness, innovation and sustainable development. More than 300 meetings and events have been successfully held during the APEC "China Year", producing a series of cooperation outcomes. The theme of the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Shenzhen in November, "Building an Asia-Pacific Community to Prosper Together", captures an alternative to the fragmentation now threatening global supply chains. China's pursuit of high-quality development that is innovation-driven, sustainable and inclusive means its industrial upgrading, structural adjustment, domestic demand and high-standard opening-up will continue to create cooperation opportunities and development dividends for other economies. The world has far more to gain from recognizing the "China Opportunity" than from the "China Shock" falsehood that some use to obscure it. myopia /maɪˈəʊpiə/n. 短视；目光狭隘 unilateralism /ˌjuːnɪˈlætərəlɪzəm/n. 单边主义 narrative /ˈnærətɪv/n. 叙事；说辞 fragmentation /ˌfræɡmenˈteɪʃn/n. 碎片化

英语新闻丨外卖平台将在 186 城强化骑手冬季保障
Chinese food delivery giant Meituan is rolling out cold-weather protection measures for more than 1 million delivery riders across 186 cities, including smart heated uniforms and medical coverage, as platform companies move to strengthen workers' rights for millions of riders in the country's fast-growing gig economy. 中国外卖巨头美团正在全国 186 座城市为超 100 万名外卖骑手推出防寒保障举措，包含智能加热工服、医疗保障等。平台企业正着力为国内快速发展的零工经济中数百万骑手完善权益保障。 The company launched its 2026 Winter Care Program in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia autonomous region last month, introducing what it described as the industry's first self-heating winter uniforms for delivery staff. 美团上月在内蒙古自治区呼伦贝尔市启动 2026 年冬季关怀计划，推出其所称业内首款骑手自加热冬装。 The new jackets feature heating elements in the chest and back to help riders stay warm while making deliveries. The first batches are being distributed to riders in colder regions, including the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, Inner Mongolia autonomous region and Heilongjiang province, before being rolled out to other areas. 新款外套在胸、背位置内置加热组件，保障骑手送餐途中保暖。首批物资已发放至新疆维吾尔自治区、内蒙古自治区、黑龙江省等寒冷地区骑手，后续将逐步推广至其他区域。 Meituan said it would also provide gloves, face masks, knee pads and other cold-weather supplies, allowing riders to select subsidized items through its app for as little as 0.01 yuan. The company plans to establish service stations in 40 cities, offering hot water, meals, winter supplies and electric bike maintenance services. 美团表示，还将提供手套、面罩、护膝等防寒物资，骑手可在平台 APP 选购补贴物资，最低仅需 0.01 元。企业计划在 40 座城市设立服务站点，提供热水、餐食、防寒物资以及电动车维修服务。 Meituan also announced plans to provide company-funded medical coverage for cold-weather-related conditions to all riders from Nov 1 through end-March 2027, alongside free online medical consultations and other healthcare services. 美团同时宣布，自 11 月 1 日至 2027 年 3 月底，为全体骑手提供由企业出资的寒病相关医疗保障，配套免费线上问诊等健康服务。 The measures are part of a broader shift among Chinese platform companies from seasonal welfare programs toward more comprehensive and institutionalized worker protections. 这些举措体现国内平台企业的一大转变：从季节性福利活动，转向更加全面、制度化的劳动者权益保障。 Meituan said it had paid a cumulative 3.6 billion yuan ($539 million) in occupational injury protection contributions, covering about 19 million riders as of end-August. The company has also continued to provide subsidies to help riders participate in pension insurance programs. 美团称，截至 8 月底，其累计缴纳工伤保障资金 36 亿元人民币（折合 5.39 亿美元），覆盖约 1900 万名骑手；企业也持续发放补贴，支持骑手参保养老保险。 The expansion comes as China seeks to strengthen protections for workers in the gig economy, including food delivery riders, ride-hailing drivers and other platform-based workers, amid growing attention to working conditions and the use of algorithms to manage labor. 在社会愈发关注工作条件、算法用工的背景下，我国持续完善零工经济劳动者保障，涵盖外卖骑手、网约车司机等平台从业者，美团本次保障扩容正是在此背景下推出。 The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and six other government departments recently released draft regulations aimed at strengthening the rights and interests of workers engaged in new forms of employment, with the proposals seeking public feedback until Sunday. 人力资源社会保障部等六部门近日发布新规草案，旨在维护新就业形态劳动者权益，草案征求意见持续至本周日。 The proposed 54-article rules would introduce protections covering wages, working hours, occupational injury insurance, algorithm management and labor dispute resolution procedures. 这份共 54 条的草案，将从薪酬、工时、工伤保险、算法管理、劳动争议处置流程等方面建立保障。 They would require companies to pay workers in full and on time, provide appropriate rest after four consecutive hours of work and assume greater responsibility for protecting workers' rights. 草案要求企业按时足额发放报酬，劳动者连续工作 4 小时后安排合理休息，企业承担更大的劳动者权益保障责任。 If adopted, the measures would — for the first time through departmental regulations — extend labor protections to workers subject to company management, whose employment arrangements do not fully meet the legal criteria for a traditional employment relationship. 若草案落地，这将首次通过部门规章，把劳动保障延伸至受企业管理、用工关系不完全符合传统劳动关系认定标准的从业者。 Meng Quan, head of the department of labor relations at the China University of Labor Relations, said, "Rider protection is evolving from the distribution of welfare supplies toward a more systematic approach." 中国劳动关系学院劳动关系系主任孟泉表示：“骑手权益保障正在从发放福利物资，走向体系化保障。” Winter has traditionally been a "stress test" for delivery rider protections, Meng said, adding that seasonal support should become part of sustainable arrangements that respond to workers' actual on-the-job needs. 孟泉称，冬季历来是骑手保障工作的 “压力测试”，季节性帮扶应当形成可持续机制，贴合骑手在岗实际需求。 He also called for closer cooperation among government authorities, trade unions and platform companies to improve protections for workers in other emerging job categories. 他同时呼吁主管部门、工会与平台企业加强协同，完善其他新兴岗位劳动者的权益保障。 gig /ɡɪɡ/n. 零工；临时工作 institutionalized /ˌɪnstɪˈtjuːʃənəlaɪzd/adj. 制度化的 occupational /ˌɒkjuˈpeɪʃənl/adj. 职业的 algorithm /ˈælɡərɪðəm/n. 算法

Companies from the United States are expanding their presence at China's flagship import expo, underscoring China's enduring appeal as a consumer market and manufacturing hub amid an evolving global trade and investment landscape. 美国企业扩大在这场中国标杆性进口博览会的参展规模。在全球贸易与投资格局持续演变的背景下，这凸显出中国作为消费市场与制造业枢纽的持久吸引力。 From agricultural products and advanced manufacturing technologies, to innovative industrial goods and logistics solutions, US companies including Archer-Daniels-Midland, Rockwell Automation, 3M and FedEx are showcasing their latest offerings at the 9th China International Import Expo, which runs from Thursday to Tuesday in Shanghai. 第九届中国国际进口博览会于上海举办，展期自周四至下周二，美国阿彻丹尼尔斯米德兰（ADM）、罗克韦尔自动化、3M、联邦快递等企业带来农产品、先进制造技术、创新工业产品及物流方案，集中展示最新产品。 Senior executives from those companies said that China's vast market, industrial upgrading and growing demand for innovation continue to create opportunities for US businesses. 多家企业高管表示，中国庞大的市场、产业升级进程以及持续增长的创新需求，不断为美国企业创造机遇。 US exhibitors have secured more than 50,000 square meters of exhibition space at the CIIE this year, an increase of 1,500 square meters from last year, according to the Ministry of Commerce. The US has ranked first among participating countries and regions by exhibition area for eight consecutive years. 商务部数据显示，今年美国参展企业展位面积超 5 万平方米，较去年增加 1500 平方米；美国参展面积连续八年位列各参展国家和地区首位。 ADM, the Chicago, Illinois-based agribusiness group and a seven-time CIIE participant, plans to sign agreements worth 32 billion yuan ($4.8 billion) with customers and industry partners for soybean and grain imports at this year's expo. 总部位于伊利诺伊州芝加哥的农业集团阿彻丹尼尔斯米德兰（ADM）已是七度参展进博会，计划在本届展会与客户及行业伙伴签署价值 320 亿元人民币（折合 48 亿美元）的大豆、谷物进口协议。 Quan Ping, president of ADM China, said the CIIE provides an opportunity to better understand customer needs, deepen industry partnerships and turn global expertise into practical solutions tailored to the Chinese market. ADM 中国区总裁全萍表示，进博会为企业创造契机，更好把握客户需求、深化产业合作，把全球专业能力转化为适配中国市场的落地解决方案。 "We aim to combine our global capabilities with local market insights to create greater value for customers and partners, while bringing more innovative products and solutions to China," Quan said. 全萍说：“我们致力于把全球资源优势和本土市场洞察相结合，为客户与合作伙伴创造更大价值，同时向中国引入更多创新产品与方案。” Rockwell Automation, which is exhibiting at the CIIE for the sixth consecutive year, is showcasing new automation controllers and smart manufacturing solutions as the US company seeks to tap into China's growing demand for industrial artificial intelligence and more efficient production systems. 罗克韦尔自动化连续第六年参展，展出全新自动化控制器与智能制造方案，这家美国企业希望把握中国市场对工业人工智能、高效生产系统日益增长的需求。 Ian Shih, president of Rockwell Automation (China), said his company sees opportunities in China's intelligent equipment, new energy, life sciences, advanced manufacturing and industrial digitalization sectors, driven by growing demand for smarter and more flexible production systems. 罗克韦尔自动化（中国）总裁石安表示，随着市场对更智能、柔性的生产系统需求上升，企业看好中国智能装备、新能源、生命科学、先进制造、工业数字化领域的机遇。 Fu Suixin, an associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of American Studies, said that US multinationals increasingly see China as more than a sales market, given its role in global innovation and supply chains and the deep economic ties between the two countries. 中国社会科学院美国研究所副研究员付随鑫提出，依托中国在全球创新、供应链中的地位以及两国深厚的经贸联系，美国跨国企业越来越多地不再仅将中国视作销售市场。 Investment momentum 投资热度不减 The continued interest is also reflected in investment flows. China's actual use of foreign investment from the US rose 7.7 percent year-on-year in the first nine months of 2026, while more than 6,300 foreign-invested companies made additional investments in China, data from the Ministry of Commerce showed. 商务部数据显示，这份持续的热情同样体现在投资数据上：2026 年前九个月，中国实际使用美资同比增长 7.7%，超 6300 家外资企业在华追加投资。 US industrial group 3M, which has never missed an edition of the CIIE, is showcasing its latest technologies and products in automotive, electronics, safety, manufacturing materials and automation, with several products making their global or China debuts. 美国工业企业 3M 是进博会全勤参展商，本届展出汽车、电子、安防、制造材料、自动化领域前沿技术产品，多款产品全球首发或中国首秀。 "We have always viewed the CIIE as a key trade fair for showcasing cutting-edge innovations and expanding local partnerships," said Henry Ding, president of 3M China. 3M 中国区总裁丁泓禹说：“我们始终把进博会作为展示前沿创新、拓展本土合作的重要展会平台。” He added that 3M and Chinese sportswear company Anta Sports Products will sign a memorandum of understanding at the event to establish a joint innovation laboratory focused on applications of sustainable materials in outdoor sports. 他补充，3M 将与中国运动服饰企业安踏体育在进博会签署谅解备忘录，共建联合创新实验室，聚焦可持续材料在户外用品领域的应用。 US express transportation company FedEx is showcasing solutions in smart logistics, sustainable operations and specialized transportation services this year at the CIIE. 美国快递企业联邦快递本届进博会展示智慧物流、可持续运营、专项运输服务相关方案。 Poh-Yian Koh, president of FedEx China, said that as AI, digitalization and evolving supply chains reshape global commerce, Chinese businesses need more than transportation. They require trusted partners that can provide the connectivity, visibility and resilience needed to expand globally. 联邦快递中国区总裁许宝燕表示，人工智能、数字化和不断迭代的供应链正在重塑全球商贸，中国企业需要的不只是运输服务，还需要可靠伙伴，为企业全球化布局提供链路连通、全程可视、抗风险的供应链支撑。 Wu Di, deputy head of the department of foreign investment administration at the Ministry of Commerce, said China will expand opening-up trials in cloud computing, biotechnology and wholly foreign-owned hospitals, and create new opportunities in emerging industries and digital and low-carbon development. 商务部外国投资管理司副司长吴迪表示，中国将扩大云计算、生物技术、外资独资医院领域开放试点，在新兴产业、数字化、低碳发展方面持续创造新机遇。 flagship /ˈflæɡʃɪp/adj. 旗舰的；标杆性的 underscore /ˌʌndəˈskɔː(r)/v. 凸显，强调 memorandum /ˌmeməˈrændəm/n. 备忘录 resilience /rɪˈzɪliəns/n. 韧性，抗风险能力

英语新闻丨国家支持香港巩固国际金融中心地位
China will introduce additional measures as needed to support the development of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as an international financial center, and will continue to help the city foster a freer and more open economic environment, Vice-Premier He Lifeng said on Tuesday. 周二何立峰副总理表示，中国将视情推出更多举措，支持香港特别行政区发展成为国际金融中心，并持续助力香港营造更加自由开放的经济环境。 Senior financial regulators have outlined plans to strengthen the HKSAR's offshore renminbi business, expand capital-market links with the Chinese mainland and facilitate cross-border investment and financing. 金融监管部门负责人介绍相关规划，将做强香港特区离岸人民币业务、拓展香港与内地资本市场互联互通、便利跨境投融资。 In a video address to the fifth edition of the Global Financial Leaders' Investment Summit, organized by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the vice-premier said that the country's financial authorities have introduced a series of measures this year to reinforce Hong Kong's role as an international financial center. These include supporting mainland companies seeking Hong Kong listings, deepening mutual access between the two markets and bolstering offshore renminbi liquidity. 在香港金融管理局举办的第五届国际金融领袖投资峰会上，副总理发表视频致辞。他表示，国家金融监管部门今年已出台一系列举措，巩固香港国际金融中心地位，包括支持内地企业赴港上市、深化两地市场互联互通、增加离岸人民币流动性。 "We will continue to guide relevant departments in implementing these policies effectively and introduce additional measures in a timely manner as needed to inject further momentum and vitality into Hong Kong's financial development," he said. 他说：“我们将继续指导相关部门把各项政策落实落细，并根据实际需要及时出台新举措，为香港金融业发展注入更多动力与活力。” The vice-premier also urged Hong Kong to fully leverage the advantages of the "one country, two systems" to build a higher-standard, free and open economic environment. 副总理同时提出，香港要充分发挥 “一国两制” 优势，建设更高标准的自由开放经济环境。 He called on the city to strengthen economic, technological and cultural ties with the rest of the world, making it easier and creating more opportunities for international investors, institutions and talent to establish and grow businesses in Hong Kong. 他呼吁香港加强同世界各国的经济、科技、文化联系，为国际投资者、机构和人才在港创业发展提供便利、创造更多机会。 "The central government will continue to give its full support to Hong Kong in preserving its unique status and advantages over the long term," he added. 他补充道：“中央政府将长期全力支持香港保持自身独特地位与优势。” Zou Lan, deputy governor of the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, said that as the world's largest offshore renminbi business center, Hong Kong will gain significant opportunities from the opening-up of mainland financial markets and the currency's growing international use, particularly amid international investors' growing demand to diversify their investments. 中国人民银行副行长邹澜表示，香港是全球最大离岸人民币业务中心，随着内地金融市场持续对外开放、人民币国际使用不断拓展，加之国际投资者多元化配置资产的需求上升，香港将迎来重大机遇。 "We will consolidate Hong Kong's position as an offshore renminbi business hub and support the development of a deeper pool of renminbi assets in the city," Zou said. 邹澜说：“我们将巩固香港离岸人民币业务枢纽地位，支持香港发展规模更大、层次更丰富的人民币资产池。” As part of efforts to strengthen capital market cooperation, Li Chao, vice-chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, said that the regulator will further facilitate cross-border investment and financing, and accelerate work to include renminbi stock trading counters and real estate investment trusts in the Stock Connect programs. The programs link mainland stock exchanges with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. 中国证监会副主席李超表示，作为深化资本市场合作的举措，证监会将进一步便利跨境投融资，加快推进人民币股票交易柜台、不动产投资信托基金纳入沪深港通，该机制连接内地证券交易所与香港联合交易所。 The commission will also support mainland companies seeking listings in Hong Kong as they expand overseas, he said. 他表示，证监会还将支持有海外布局需求的内地企业赴港上市。 Li Hongyan, deputy head of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, said the country's foreign exchange regulator recently released two draft policy packages for public consultation — one aimed at better meeting the diverse settlement needs of foreign trade companies and the other at easing cross-border investment and financing. 国家外汇管理局副局长李红燕介绍，外汇管理部门近期发布两项政策文件草案向社会征求意见，一项旨在更好满足外贸企业多样化结算需求，另一项着力便利跨境投融资。 The proposed measures will help companies participate more effectively in international trade and economic cooperation while giving fresh impetus to the development of the HKSAR as a global financial center, she said. 她表示，相关举措有助于企业更好参与国际经贸合作，同时为香港特区建设全球金融中心增添新动能。 The three-day summit in Hong Kong brings together about 280 global financial leaders, including around 120 group chairpersons and chief executive officers. 这场在香港举办的峰会为期三天，汇聚约 280 位全球金融界领袖，其中包含约 120 位集团董事长与首席执行官。 regulatory /ˈreɡjələtəri/ 监管的 offshore /ˌɒfˈʃɔː(r)/ 离岸的 liquidity /lɪˈkwɪdəti/ 流动性 diversify /daɪˈvɜːsɪfaɪ/ 使多元化

英语新闻丨大陆重申台湾不具备加入国际刑警组织的资格
Taiwan, as part of China, is not entitled to join the International Criminal Police Organization, a Chinese mainland spokesperson said on Wednesday, stressing that existing arrangements allow police authorities on the island to cooperate with their international counterparts. 大陆发言人周三表示，台湾作为中国的一部分，无权加入国际刑警组织，并强调现有安排可以让岛内警方同国际同行开展合作。 Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the remarks in response to Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities, which claimed that the island's exclusion from Interpol had created a gap in global security and called for international support for its membership. 国务院台湾事务办公室发言人朱凤莲就此表态，回应民进党当局相关说法。民进党当局声称台湾无法加入国际刑警组织造成全球安全漏洞，并呼吁国际社会支持其取得成员资格。 The 94th Interpol General Assembly is scheduled to take place in Hong Kong from Nov 30 to Dec 3. Zhu stated that the mainland's position on Taiwan's participation in international organizations has been consistent and clear: such matters must be handled in accordance with the one-China principle. 第 94 届国际刑警组织大会定于 11 月 30 日至 12 月 3 日在香港举行。朱凤莲表示，大陆在台湾参与国际组织问题上的立场一贯且明确，相关事宜必须按照一个中国原则处理。 She said China and Interpol have made appropriate arrangements for Taiwan's participation in cooperation and activities under the organization's framework, with functioning channels for information sharing and case cooperation between Taiwan's police authorities and Interpol member states' central bureaus worldwide. 她指出，中方与国际刑警组织已经就台湾在该组织框架下参与合作与活动作出妥善安排，台湾警方和国际刑警组织各成员国国家中心局之间，有着顺畅的信息交换与案件协作渠道。 Zhu criticized the DPP authorities for repeatedly politicizing Taiwan's participation in international organizations, saying their attempts to pursue separatism were doomed to fail. 朱凤莲批评民进党当局一再把台湾参与国际组织问题政治化，其 “台独” 分裂图谋注定失败。 Separately, responding to a question about Taiwan's participation in this year's APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, Zhu said the mainland has consistently handled the matter in accordance with the one-China principle, relevant APEC memorandums of understanding, and established practices. Taiwan can participate as long as these arrangements are followed, she said. 另外，在被问及台湾参与本年度亚太经合组织领导人非正式会议相关问题时，朱凤莲表示，大陆一贯依据一个中国原则、亚太经合组织相关谅解备忘录以及既定惯例处理此事。只要遵守相关安排，台湾就可以参与。 entitle /ɪnˈtaɪtl/v. 使有权；赋予资格 counterpart /ˈkaʊntəpɑːt/n. 对应的人 / 机构；同行 consistent /kənˈsɪstənt/adj. 一贯的；一致的 separatism /ˈsepərətɪzəm/n. 分裂主义

英语新闻丨Joint Mideast peace efforts urged
The Middle East and the Gulf region should not become a wrestling arena for major-country rivalry or geopolitical conflicts, President Xi Jinping said on Monday, reiterating China's commitment to working with Arab states and countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council to strive for lasting peace in the region. Xi made the remarks during talks with Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik Al Said of Oman, who was on a state visit to China from Sunday to Monday. This was the first visit to China by an Omani head of state since the two countries established diplomatic ties 48 years ago. Xi said that concerted efforts are needed by all parties to foster and safeguard peace and stability in the Middle East and the Gulf region. China has consistently been committed to ending hostility and promoting peace in the Middle East, and hopes to contribute wisdom and solutions to resolving the region's security dilemmas, he said. The nation will continue to advocate resolving disputes through political and diplomatic means and will support countries in the region in building a common homeland of good neighborliness, development, security and cooperation, Xi added. He expressed China's willingness to strengthen communication and coordination with Oman and other Arab and Gulf Cooperation Council countries to work together toward restoring peace and tranquility in the region and achieving lasting security and stability. The Omani sultan said that China plays an indispensable leading role in maintaining world peace and stability. Oman highly appreciates China's just stance on the Middle East issue and is willing to closely coordinate with China to uphold international law, advocate for the peaceful resolution of disputes, and jointly promote regional and global security and stability, he said. In a joint statement released on Monday on deepening the China-Oman strategic partnership, both countries expressed their encouragement for the United States and Iran to adhere to peaceful options, achieve a comprehensive ceasefire and cessation of hostilities as early as possible, and resume dialogue and negotiations to reach a comprehensive agreement that includes the nuclear issue. Both countries also maintain that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz should return to normal and safe navigation is restored, the statement said, and they agree to maintain communication on issues related to the strait. China has played a positive role on the Middle East issue. While meeting with Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in Beijing in April, Xi put forward a four-point proposal on promoting peace and stability in the Middle East. He called for adhering to the principle of peaceful coexistence, the principle of national sovereignty, the principle of international rule of law, and a coordinated approach to development and security. On Monday, Foreign Minister Wang Yi met in Beijing with Ali Bagheri Kani, deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, emphasizing that dialogue and negotiation are the only viable solutions to the ongoing Middle East conflict. All parties should seek political resolution of the conflict in a rational and pragmatic spirit, rather than resorting to military confrontation, Wang said, adding that China will continue to work with all parties to restore peace in the region. Speaking at a regular news conference on Monday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said that China will send its special envoy to the Middle East to visit Iran, Oman and Saudi Arabia this month to implement the series of initiatives and proposals put forward by Xi on the Middle East issue. The visit aims to facilitate peace talks and ease tensions, and play a constructive role in maintaining regional peace and stability, she said. Bilateral cooperation During Monday's talks, the two heads of state pledged to promote bilateral ties.

英语新闻丨自主能力升级：AI 智能体迎来新突破
Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek has unveiled a new architecture aimed at making AI agents more autonomous, marking the latest push by China's model developers to move beyond chatbots toward systems capable of independently carrying out complex tasks. 中国人工智能初创企业深度求索（DeepSeek）推出一套全新架构，旨在提升智能体的自主能力。这标志着国内大模型研发团队的最新探索方向：不再局限于对话机器人，转而打造能够独立完成复杂任务的系统。 DeepSeek's Harness team said in an article published on Saturday that its experimental "super-agent" architecture is designed to allow AI to continuously monitor information, manage multiple tasks in parallel and take action with less human supervision. 深度求索旗下 Harness 团队在周六发布的文章中介绍，这套实验性 “超级智能体” 架构，可以让人工智能持续监测信息、并行处理多项任务，在更少人工干预下自主执行操作。 The development points to a broader shift in China's fast-moving AI industry, where competition is increasingly moving beyond model size and benchmark scores toward agents that can plan, execute and complete real-world work. 这项成果折射出国内高速发展的人工智能行业正在发生重要转向：行业竞争不再只比拼模型参数规模与基准测试分数，重心转向能够规划、执行并落地真实业务的智能体。 As AI models become better at handling individual tasks, DeepSeek said the bottleneck is increasingly human attention: users still have to switch between different conversations, keep track of their progress and provide instructions. 深度求索表示，随着大模型处理单项任务的能力持续提升，瓶颈逐渐转移到人力投入上。用户需要在多个对话窗口之间切换、跟进任务进度、持续下发指令。 The super-agent approach is intended to move much of that coordination into the AI system itself, allowing people to focus more on higher-level decisions and reviewing results rather than overseeing each step of a task. 超级智能体方案，就是把大量协调工作交由 AI 系统自主完成。用户可以更多聚焦顶层决策与结果核验，不必盯着任务的每一个执行环节。 DeepSeek stressed that the architecture remains an engineering exploration rather than a feature available in its existing products. 深度求索强调，该架构目前仍属于工程探索项目，还没有作为功能上线到现有产品中。 DeepSeek said an internal version of the system is already operating continuously. When employees flag a software problem in a group chat, for example, the AI can identify the potential defect even without being directly addressed, attempt to reproduce the problem in the background and search for a fix. 深度求索称，这套系统的内部版本已经在持续运行。举例来说，员工在群聊里反馈软件故障时，即便没有专门 @它，AI 也能识别潜在缺陷，在后台复现问题，并寻找解决方案。 The push reflects a growing focus across the AI industry on so-called agentic AI — systems designed not only to generate text or answer questions, but also to make plans, use tools and carry out multi-step tasks. 这一研发方向，也体现整个 AI 行业对 “智能体 AI” 日益重视。这类系统不只是生成文本、回答问题，还可以制定方案、调用工具、完成多步骤任务。 Chinese developers have accelerated model releases in recent weeks. The flurry of releases suggests China's AI race is entering a new phase. 近几周，国内厂商加快了大模型发布节奏。密集上新，意味着中国人工智能竞赛进入新阶段。 Rather than simply building models that are bigger or score higher on tests, developers are increasingly competing over whether AI can reliably turn intelligence into action. 研发方的竞争重点不再是单纯做大模型、刷高测试分数，而是比拼 AI 能不能稳定地把推理能力转化为实际行动。 Moonshot AI released last month Kimi K3.1 Pro, the first model in its new K3.1 series. 月之暗面（Moonshot AI）上月发布 Kimi K3.1 Pro，这是其全新 K3.1 系列的首款模型。 The company said the model, its most capable in the roughly 3-trillion-parameter class, offers substantial improvements in coding, 3D creation, financial research and other long-horizon agent tasks, while supporting a context window of 1 million tokens. 该企业介绍，这款模型是其约 3 万亿参数梯队里能力最强的版本，在代码编写、3D 生成、金融调研以及长周期智能体任务上有大幅提升，支持 100 万上下文窗口。 MiniMax launched its M3.1 Flash model mid-October, saying it had strengthened performance in agentic tasks, coding and computer use while delivering online inference speeds nearly three times faster than its predecessor and cutting the overall cost of agent tasks by 70 percent. 稀宇科技（MiniMax）在 10 月中旬推出 M3.1 Flash 模型。官方称，该模型强化了智能体任务、代码、电脑操作能力，在线推理速度达到前代产品近三倍，智能体任务总成本降低 70%。 DeepSeek itself updated its V4.1 Flash model on Oct 17. DeepSeek said the update improved performance while allowing tasks to be completed faster and with shorter outputs. 深度求索也在 10 月 17 日更新了 V4.1 Flash 模型。深度求索表示，本次更新优化了模型能力，任务完成速度更快，输出内容也更加精简。 Wei Kai, head of the AI research institute at the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, said in a separate interview that agents represent an engineering enhancement built on top of large language models that can significantly extend their capabilities. 中国信息通信研究院人工智能研究所所长魏凯在另一场采访中表示，智能体是在大语言模型基础上做的工程化增强，可以大幅拓展模型能力边界。 But challenges remain. "Agents still need improvement in reliability, contextual memory and long-horizon tasks, and there is still some distance to go before large-scale adoption," Wei said. 但挑战依旧存在。魏凯说：“智能体在稳定性、上下文记忆、长周期任务方面仍有待提升，距离大规模落地应用还有一段路要走。” autonomous /ɔːˈtɒnəməs/adj. 自主的 architecture /ˈɑːkɪtektʃə(r)/n. 架构；体系 benchmark /ˈbentʃmɑːk/n. 基准；评测标准 inference /ˈɪnfərəns/n. 推理；（模型）推理运算

英语新闻丨Self-governance of Party seen as strategic task
Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, has emphasized the need to persevere with full and rigorous Party self-governance to maintain the Party's advanced nature and integrity, consolidate its long-term governing position and provide strong guarantees for building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects and advancing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on all fronts through Chinese modernization. The remarks were made in Xi's explanation of a draft resolution on certain major issues concerning persevering with full and rigorous Party self-governance, and were delivered at the fifth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, which concluded last week in Beijing. Both the explanation and the resolution, adopted at the plenum, were made public on Sunday. Explaining the choice of the plenum's agenda, Xi said that the CPC Central Committee made this major decision based on its assessment and thorough consideration of the situation and in light of the historical stage that the cause of the Party and the country has entered and the advancement of Chinese modernization as a whole. Xi said full and rigorous Party self-governance is a long-term strategic task, noting that problems and hidden dangers threaten to undermine the Party's advanced nature, weaken its integrity and jeopardize its long-term governance. He also stressed the need to consolidate and develop the sound political situation in which great solidarity and unity are maintained across the whole Party, and great cohesion is secured within the Party and the military and among the people. In the face of complicated international and domestic landscapes, Xi said that persevering with full and rigorous Party self-governance is essential for fulfilling the Party's historic mission and ensuring steady and sustained progress in the cause of the Party and the country. A document drafting group headed by Xi was established by the CPC Central Committee in January this year and held its first general meeting on Feb 6, officially starting the drafting work. Xi said the CPC Central Committee promoted full democratic engagement, conducted thorough surveys and studies, and sought extensive input during drafting. On Jan 31, the CPC Central Committee issued a notice soliciting opinions from localities and departments on the plenum's topic and entrusted 16 organizations to research 23 major issues. Xi presided over a symposium in Shanghai on May 6 to hear opinions from principal leaders of some provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government. On Aug 3, a draft resolution was issued to certain Party members for feedback, including retired senior Party officials. Dedicated meetings were also held to solicit views from the central committees of other political parties in China, leaders of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and prominent figures without party affiliation. The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee met three times and the Political Bureau met twice to review and revise the draft before its submission to the plenum. In addition to an opening paragraph and conclusion, the resolution consists of three sections. The first elaborates on the importance, urgency and overall requirements of persevering with full and rigorous Party self-governance. "Strengthening the Party spirit represents a fundamental task in our efforts to ensure full and rigorous Party self-governance," the resolution says. It also states that the implementation of democratic centralism is "an inherent requirement for exercising full and rigorous Party self-governance." On cultivating high-caliber officials capable of shouldering the mission of national rejuvenation, the resolution emphasizes that "strict management of officials is the key to full and rigorous governance over the Party". The resolution stresses the principal role of Party organizations at all levels in exercising full and rigorous Party self-governance and identifies improving conduct and tightening discipline as effective measures to advance this work. Hong Xianghua, a professor at the Party School of the Communist Party of China Central Committee (National Academy of Governance), said the resolution demonstrates the Party leadership's firm determination to persevere with full and rigorous Party self-governance. He said its systematic arrangements would further strengthen the system of Party self-governance, ensuring comprehensive coverage and a complete chain of responsibility.
