  英语新闻丨平陆运河通航，打通中国西南出海通道 16.09.2026 1min

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

  视频丨平陆运河为何是世纪工程 广西明明靠海，为什么还要修一条运河去“找”海 16.09.2026 8min

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

  英语新闻丨BRICS summit gives boost to Global South 15.09.2026 6min

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

  英语新闻丨中国反对日本参与联合军事演习 15.09.2026 3min

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

  英语新闻丨卫健委主任：我国持续推进生育友好政策 14.09.2026 2min

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

  英语新闻丨北京出台全市无人机管控新规 14.09.2026 4min

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

  英语新闻丨习近平提出五项举措，助力金砖合作提质增效 14.09.2026 6min

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

  英语新闻丨金砖国家在制定人工智能规则方面发挥关键作用 13.09.2026 6min

  The BRICS is emerging as a significant force in development and governance of artificial intelligence globally, experts say, highlighting its crucial role in championing the Global South's interests and bridging the digital divide.BRICS has evolved into a crucial mechanism for Global South nations to pursue shared development. With the rise of AI, the bloc has elevated technology governance as a key pillar of its agenda.BRICS members and the broader Global South regard AI as both an unprecedented opportunity and a strategic imperative. Jiang Tianjiao, a research fellow at the Center for Global AI Innovative Governance in Shanghai, said that these countries see developing AI as a way of increasing productivity, improving public services and narrowing the digital divide, but also as an essential path to reduce dependence on developed countries for technology, computing power and rules.A landmark move came at last year's BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the bloc issued its first leadership-level consensus document on global AI governance, The BRICS Leaders' Statement on the Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence. It underscored digital sovereignty and the right to development as central to global AI governance.The BRICS consensus serves as a crucial corrective to the global AI governance system, experts said.Jiang Qingquan, deputy director of the BRICS Economic Research Center at Xiamen University of Technology, said global AI governance discussions have often fixated on security risks, overlooking the more fundamental issue of the development gap."By enshrining the right to development as a governance principle, the BRICS statement compels the international community to address the crucial question: how to ensure all countries can access and use AI before discussing its regulation."BRICS places the right to development at the core of AI governance. Giving priority to capacity building for developing countries better aligns with the practical needs of Global South nations."He depicted the grouping's role as a "collective spokesperson for Global South AI governance".Despite varying strengths in AI technology, computing infrastructure and energy support, experts see these differences as a unique advantage for BRICS multilateral AI collaboration, potentially playing a significant role in bridging the global digital divide.Jiang Tianjiao underscored the complementary strengths among BRICS members in creating a "resources-technology-scenario energy" synergy. "China has a complete AI industrial chain and open-source model capabilities; Russia and India excel in algorithms and talent; Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa have abundant application scenarios in different sectors; and countries such as China and Brazil offer clean energy for high-energy-consuming computing power."This complementarity is translating into concrete mechanisms. In Bengaluru, India, in July, BRICS member nations signed an agreement on collaboration in standardization, the bloc's first collective foray into setting international AI standards.This initiative enables BRICS members to jointly shape international norms within standard-setting bodies, thereby amplifying the voice of emerging economies in frontier technologies governance, Jiang Qingquan said.BRICS is translating consensus into actionable cooperation mechanisms, with China playing a key role in driving this practical implementation, experts said.Addressing the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia, in 2024, President Xi Jinping announced the establishment of the China-BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center, expressing China's readiness to deepen collaboration on innovation with all BRICS countries to unleash the dividends of AI development."The center's establishment is about converting this vision into implementable cooperation mechanisms, ensuring BRICS countries become cocreators of innovation in the AI era," said Xu Shan, an expert at the China-BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center.The center has facilitated 55 supply-demand matching events for AI companies, promoting plans for international collaboration, she said. Its training programs have reached 105 senior officials in 58 countries, extending the benefits of BRICS collaboration to the wider Global South, she said.For the public at large, Xu said, AI cooperation can translate into tangible improvements: farmers in remote areas using AI-powered pest detection, grassroots hospitals drawing on AI-assisted diagnoses to help alleviate doctor shortages, and speakers of minority languages accessing intelligent services in their native tongues."The ultimate test of AI collaboration is whether people in BRICS and Global South countries can genuinely benefit from this technological revolution," Xu said. "That is the fundamental purpose of everything the center does."

  褪去形式滤镜：重新定义教师节的真正价值 11.09.2026 17min

  This episode explores the changing dynamics of Teacher’s Day as it marks its 42nd anniversary on September 10, 2026. What was once a simple exchange of appreciation has transformed into a high-stakes source of social anxiety for parents, students, and educators alike. We trace the history of this tradition across generations—from the analog era of hand-drawn paper cards built on physical effort to the digital age of video montages and social media tributes. We examine the psychological pressure of public performative gift-giving, the stark power dynamics faced by graduate students, and the quiet parallel anxiety experienced by teachers. The episode also looks at recent Ministry of Education mandates aimed at curbing empty formalism, ultimately returning to the core question: what is the true, enduring currency of the teaching profession?

  英语新闻丨中美就关税互减框架安排展开磋商 11.09.2026 4min

  China and the United States are in consultations on a framework arrangement for reciprocal tariff reductions covering products worth $30 billion from each side, with both countries working to bring the tariff cuts into effect at an early date, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.商务部周四表示，中美双方正在磋商一项相互减让关税的框架安排，涉及双方各 300 亿美元规模的产品，两国正努力推动关税减免尽早落地。Speaking at a weekly news conference in Beijing, Huang Ling, the ministry's spokeswoman, said that Chinese and US economic and trade teams are earnestly implementing the consensus reached by the two heads of state at their meeting in May in Beijing.商务部发言人黄玲在北京举行的例行新闻发布会上表示，中美经贸团队正在认真落实两国元首 5 月在北京会晤达成的共识。Experts said that the proposed tariff reductions are expected to cover products of mutual interest, with agricultural goods and industrial products among those under consideration.专家表示，拟议中的关税减免预计将覆盖双方共同关注的产品，农产品和工业产品都在考虑范围内。Continued dialogue and consultation can help manage differences, reduce trade frictions and work toward mutually beneficial outcomes, they said.专家称，持续对话磋商有助于管控分歧、减少贸易摩擦，争取实现互利共赢的结果。Fu Suixin, an associate researcher at the Institute of American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the recent interactions between China and the US, along with the establishment of bilateral trade and investment councils, have been significant in helping to stabilize relations and maintain channels of communication.中国社会科学院美国研究所副研究员表示，中美近期的互动，以及双边贸易投资委员会的设立，对稳定两国关系、保持沟通渠道畅通具有重要意义。"This does not mean the two sides have resolved their deep-seated differences over trade, technology and other issues," said Fu.“这并不意味着双方已经解决了在贸易、技术等领域根深蒂固的分歧，” 傅说。"Rather, these developments have reaffirmed the importance of maintaining high-level communication, managing differences and working toward a relationship characterized by constructive strategic stability."“相反，这些进展再次印证，保持高层沟通、管控分歧、构建具有建设性战略稳定的双边关系十分重要。”Da Wei, a professor of international relations at Tsinghua University in Beijing, shared a similar outlook. "Through dialogue, China and the US can work toward a more sustainable balance in their economic relationship by developing a clearer understanding of the scope and boundaries of bilateral economic ties," he said.清华大学国际关系教授达巍持相近看法。他表示：“通过对话，中美可以更加清晰地把握双边经贸关系的范围与边界，推动两国经贸关系实现更可持续的平衡。”This would involve identifying areas where closer economic ties remain mutually beneficial, areas where some separation may be necessary, and a level of economic engagement that is acceptable to both sides, said Da.达巍称，这其中包括界定哪些领域深化经贸联系仍可实现互利、哪些领域需要适度脱钩，以及找到双方都能接受的经贸交往水平。Despite persistent differences, bilateral trade has remained resilient. China's trade with the US reached 2.76 trillion yuan ($412 billion) in the first eight months of this year, up 1.3 percent year-on-year, according to data from the General Administration of Customs.尽管分歧依然存在，双边贸易仍展现韧性。海关总署数据显示，今年前 8 个月，中美贸易额达 2.76 万亿元人民币（合 4120 亿美元），同比增长 1.3%。In another development, France has been urged to immediately stop using its anti-ultrafast fashion law to undermine the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.另据消息，中方敦促法国立即停止利用其反超快时尚相关法律损害中国企业合法权益。In response to remarks by French officials that the law is neither discriminatory nor targeted and is intended to protect the environment and consumers, Huang, the spokeswoman, said that China remains seriously concerned about the legislation.针对法国官员称该法律不具歧视性、不针对特定对象，旨在保护环境与消费者的表态，发言人黄玲表示，中方对这项立法高度关切。She said that China will closely follow further developments and take necessary measures to safeguard Chinese companies' legitimate rights and interests.她说，中方将密切关注事态后续发展，并采取必要措施维护中国企业的合法权益。The French law, under the pretext of setting so-called standards for "environmental protection" and "sustainability", applies double standards by imposing discriminatory restrictions on Chinese cross-border e-commerce platforms through legislation, which severely distorts fair competition, according to information released by the Ministry of Commerce.商务部相关信息显示，法国这项法律以制定所谓 “环保”“可持续发展” 标准为借口，通过立法对中国跨境电商平台实施歧视性限制，奉行双重标准，严重破坏公平竞争。China opposes the abuse of restrictive economic and trade measures and urges France to take China's concerns seriously, stop using the legislation to undermine Chinese companies' legitimate rights and interests, and address economic and trade differences through dialogue on an equal footing, Huang added.黄玲补充道，中方反对滥用限制性经贸措施，敦促法方重视中方关切，停止借该法律损害中国企业合法权益，通过平等对话解决经贸分歧。In response to another question about the ministry's recent meetings with several French companies operating in China, Huang said public reports show that some French companies had received subsidies from the European Union and its member states, which may have been passed on to some extent to their entities in China.在被问及商务部近期与多家在华法国企业会谈一事时，黄玲表示，公开报道显示，部分法国企业获得欧盟及其成员国补贴，相关补贴可能在一定程度上传导至其在华机构。To assess the potential impact of such subsidies, the ministry has sought information from the companies concerned in accordance with the law and asked them to provide explanations, she said.她表示，为评估此类补贴带来的潜在影响，商务部已依法向相关企业调取信息，要求其作出说明。reciprocal /rɪˈsɪprəkl/adj. 相互的；互惠的tariff /ˈtærɪf/n. 关税resilient /rɪˈzɪliənt/adj. 有韧性的discriminatory /dɪˈskrɪmɪnətəri/adj. 歧视性的今天 16:55

  英语新闻丨Xi to attend BRICS summit in New Delhi 11.09.2026 4min

  President Xi Jinping will attend the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi from Saturday to Sunday at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced on Thursday.The meeting is widely expected to inject fresh momentum into BRICS cooperation, help BRICS countries and the wider Global South expand the pie of win-win cooperation, and reaffirm their commitment to multilateralism, experts said.India has adopted "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability" as the theme of its 2026 BRICS presidency, with a stated emphasis on a people-centric approach and stronger cooperation among countries of the Global South.Initially comprising Brazil, Russia, India and China, the grouping later welcomed South Africa and has since expanded further to 11 members. According to figures published on India's official BRICS presidency website, the 11 members account for about 49.5 percent of the world's population, 40 percent of global GDP and 26 percent of global trade."Xi's attendance once again demonstrates the importance that China consistently attaches to BRICS cooperation, the development of the mechanism and the common development of Global South countries," said Su Xiao hui, an associate research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies.China's role in advancing BRICS cooperation will again be highlighted at the summit, she said.Cooperation with other BRICS countries has long been a priority of China's foreign policy. Xi's first appearance at a major international multilateral meeting after becoming Chinese president was at the fifth BRICS Summit, held in Durban, South Africa, in March 2013.Wang You ming, a researcher on developing countries at the China Institute of International Studies, said the upcoming summit holds particular significance, as it coincides with the 20th anniversary of the launch of BRICS cooperation."One of the biggest highlights will be Xi's trip to India after seven years," Wang said. "China and India are not only close neighbors, but also founding members and major participants in BRICS. The state of their relationship has a direct bearing on the development of the mechanism."China and India have expressed mutual support for each other in hosting BRICS events, with India holding the rotating presidency this year and China set to assume the presidency next year."Multilateral platforms can create opportunities for bilateral engagement, while improving bilateral relations can in turn facilitate coordination within multilateral mechanisms," Wang said.At a time when unilateral trade measures and disruptions to global industrial and supply chains are placing mounting pressure on developing economies, the summit is expected to amplify the voice of the Global South and strengthen coordination in upholding an open world economy and the multilateral trading system, he added.Wang said BRICS cooperation had gradually moved beyond broad policy declarations toward concrete programs involving small and medium-sized enterprises, cities, young people and people-to-people exchanges.According to Wang, emerging sectors such as the digital economy, green development and artificial intelligence are also likely to provide new areas of growth for BRICS cooperation.Emmanuel Frimpong Sarpong, who holds a PhD from the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and is the lead author of a study on China's role in BRICS, said China has played an instrumental role in the development of the BRICS mechanism.He described the New Development Bank as one of the grouping's most significant achievements. By the end of 2025, the bank had approved $42.9 billion in financing for 139 projects covering clean energy, transportation, water and sanitation, environmental protection, and social and digital infrastructure, according to the bank.

  英语新闻丨中国计划到2030年提升眼健康服务水平 10.09.2026 3min

  China’s health authorities have unveiled a five-year plan to expand access to eye care services, with a focus on tackling childhood myopia, addressing cataracts, which are particularly common among seniors, and strengthening eye care capacity in rural areas. 中国卫生部门近日公布一项为期五年的眼健康服务提升计划，旨在扩大眼科医疗服务覆盖范围，重点防治儿童近视、解决老年人群中较为常见的白内障问题，并进一步提升农村地区眼健康服务能力。By 2030, the nation aims to raise refraction screening rates steadily among children aged 6 and under, as well as primary and secondary school students, while improving awareness of refractive error care among the elderly, according to the plan released on Tuesday by the National Health Commission and two other government departments.根据国家卫生健康委员会等三个部门于周二发布的相关规划，到2030年，中国将稳步提高6岁及以下儿童以及中小学生屈光筛查率，同时提升老年人群对屈光问题防治的认知水平。The plan also calls for the effective refractive error coverage rate to increase steadily. The rate refers to the proportion of people who need near — or distance-vision correction and receive spectacles, contact lenses, refractive surgery or other interventions that achieve quality outcomes.规划提出，要稳步提高有效屈光不正矫正覆盖率。该指标指的是，需要进行近视或远视矫正的人群中，通过佩戴眼镜、隐形眼镜、屈光手术或其他干预措施，并取得良好矫正效果的人所占的比例。Other goals include raising the cataract surgery rate to more than 4,000 operations per 1 million people and improving the overall effectiveness of the treatment. The plan also aims to increase the number of ophthalmologists to more than 5.3 per 100,000 people and expand the optometrist workforce.规划还提出，到2030年，每百万人白内障手术率要提高至4000例以上，并提升治疗整体效果。同时，中国眼科医师数量将增加至每10万人超过5.3名，并进一步扩大验光师队伍规模。By 2030, more than 93 percent of county-level general hospitals are expected to have an ophthalmology department or an ear, nose and throat and eye care unit.到2030年，预计超过93%的县级综合医院将设立眼科，或配备耳鼻喉科与眼健康相关诊疗单元。More than 95 percent of county-level regions will be capable of independently diagnosing and treating common eye diseases, while all counties will be able to provide cataract surgery.超过95%的县级行政区域将具备独立诊断和治疗常见眼病的能力，所有县域都将能够开展白内障手术。To achieve these objectives, the document calls for stronger efforts in health education, early screening, diagnosis and treatment, as well as improvements in related medical and rehabilitation services.为实现上述目标，规划要求进一步加强健康教育、早期筛查、诊断治疗工作，同时完善相关医疗服务和康复服务体系。Medical institutions are required to provide screening for common eye diseases, including myopia and other refractive errors, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma, among high-risk groups such as children and teenagers, middle-aged and older adults, and patients with chronic conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure.医疗机构需针对儿童青少年、中老年人群，以及糖尿病、高血压等慢性病患者等重点人群，开展常见眼病筛查，包括近视及其他屈光不正、糖尿病视网膜病变、白内障和青光眼等疾病。Paired assistance programs and mobile medical teams will enhance local capabilities for performing cataract surgery while advancing standardized operating procedures and enhanced training for medical personnel.规划提出，通过对口帮扶项目和流动医疗队，提高基层医疗机构开展白内障手术的能力，同时推进手术操作规范化，加强医务人员培训。Myopia and cataracts have been priority areas in China’s eye care services in recent years.近年来，近视和白内障一直是中国眼健康服务的重点领域。Official data shows that the overall myopia rate among students in China has declined steadily in recent years, falling 3.7 percentage points from 2018 to 49.9 percent in 2025.官方数据显示，近年来中国学生总体近视率持续下降，从2018年的水平下降3.7个百分点，2025年降至49.9%。Cataracts affected about 130 million adults in China in 2020, accounting for about 22.78 percent of the age group, according to official data. The number is estimated to exceed 240 million by 2050.另据官方数据，2020年中国约有1.3亿成年人患有白内障，占该年龄群体的约22.78%。预计到2050年，白内障患者数量将超过2.4亿。The document also stresses the integration of artificial intelligence, big data, 5G and other emerging technologies into eye care services. Such technologies will be used to support remote diagnosis, analyze medical imaging results and facilitate screening and diagnosis.规划还强调，要推动人工智能、大数据、5G等新兴技术与眼健康服务深度融合。相关技术将用于支持远程诊断、医学影像分析，以及促进疾病筛查和诊断。[词汇提炼]expand /ɪkˈspænd/ v.扩大；扩展tackle /ˈtækl/ v.应对；解决（问题）cataract /ˈkætərækt/ n.白内障refraction /rɪˈfrækʃn/ n.屈光；折射ophthalmologist /ˌɒfθælˈmɒlədʒɪst/ n.眼科医生rehabilitation /ˌriːəˌbɪlɪˈteɪʃn/ n.康复；恢复myopia rate /maɪˈəʊpiə reɪt/ n.近视率

  英语新闻丨刘翔已于9月1日“买断“ 把全部薪资捐给慈善机构 10.09.2026 3min

  Olympic champion Liu Xiang said on Thursday that he completed a buyout with Shanghai sports authorities on Sept 1, receiving 494,000 yuan, and would have no further association with the sports bureau.奥运冠军刘翔今天表示，他已于 9 月 1 日与上海体育主管部门完成买断，获得 49.4 万元，今后将不再与该体育局存在任何关联。“On Sept 1, I had already completed the buyout and received 494,000 yuan in buyout compensation,” Liu said in a post on his personal social media account. “From now on, I will have no further association with the sports bureau.”“9 月 1 日，我已经完成买断，拿到 49.4 万元买断补偿金，” 刘翔在个人社交媒体账号发文称，“从今往后，我和体育局不再有任何关系。”The 43‑year‑old former hurdler also said that he had received a total of 982,935 yuan in salary and subsidies from April 7, 2015, when he retired, until the completion of the buyout. Liu said he donated the entire amount to the China Charity Federation on Sept 2 for disaster relief following mudslides in the Xizang autonomous region.这位 43 岁的前跨栏运动员还表示，自 2015 年 4 月 7 日退役至完成买断期间，他共计领到薪资及补贴 982935 元。刘翔称，他已于 9 月 2 日将全部款项捐赠给中华慈善总会，用于西藏自治区泥石流灾害的救灾工作。Liu's latest post came after a public dispute over his post‑retirement career arrangement triggered widespread discussion on Chinese social media.此前，关于刘翔退役后职业安置的公开争议在国内社交媒体引发广泛热议，之后刘翔发布了这篇最新博文。On Aug 26, Liu posted a photo commemorating his victory at the 2004 Athens Olympics and said the sports authorities had asked him to choose between becoming a coach and accepting a buyout.8 月 26 日，刘翔发布一张纪念 2004 年雅典奥运会夺冠的照片，称体育主管部门要求他在担任教练和接受买断二者之间做出选择。The Shanghai Sports Bureau said afterward that Liu was an outstanding athlete who had made significant contributions to Shanghai's sports development. It said the Shanghai Competitive Sports Training Management Center had communicated with Liu and would handle his post‑retirement arrangement in accordance with relevant national and municipal regulations, mainly through organizational placement or self‑employment.上海市体育局随后表示，刘翔是优秀运动员，为上海体育事业发展作出了突出贡献。上海市竞技体育训练管理中心已与刘翔沟通，将按照国家及本市相关规定处理其退役安置事宜，安置方式主要为组织安排岗位或者自主择业。In his latest post, Liu also addressed what he described as the issue of being “on the payroll but not at his post”, saying he had not received any formal position or post since his retirement.在最新博文中，刘翔还谈及所谓 “吃空饷” 问题，称自己退役之后从未获得任何正式职务。“I have not received any official post or position since I retired,” Liu said. “I respect the rules and accept that there may have been oversights, but rules should never be an excuse.”“退役之后我没有得到任何官方职务，” 刘翔说，“我尊重制度，也承认或许存在疏漏，但制度绝不能成为借口。”He questioned why the issue had taken 11 years to address, saying that the choice between becoming a coach and accepting a buyout had come too late to be regarded as a genuine career choice.他质疑该问题为何拖延 11 年才得以处理，表示让他在做教练与接受买断之间二选一，来得太迟，算不上真正的职业选择。Liu said he hoped his case would encourage greater attention to the career transition of retired athletes and called for more flexible and diverse arrangements.刘翔表示，希望自己的事件能够促使社会更加关注退役运动员的职业转型，呼吁推出更加灵活多元的安置方案。“Putting the issue of resettlement in the public eye is not about using public opinion to seek a third option,” he said. “I hope organizations will seriously consider the future of every retired athlete and treat them well.”“把安置问题摆到公众面前，并不是借舆论谋求第三种选择，” 他说，“希望相关机构能够认真考量每一位退役运动员的未来，善待他们。”Liu won the men's 110‑meter hurdles at the 2004 Athens Olympics with a time of 12.91 seconds, becoming the first Asian athlete to win an Olympic gold medal in a men's track event. He went on to win the world title in 2007 and set a world record of 12.88 seconds in 2006.刘翔在 2004 年雅典奥运会男子 110 米栏比赛中以 12 秒 91 夺冠，成为首位夺得奥运会男子田径项目金牌的亚洲运动员。他随后在 2007 年拿下世锦赛冠军，并于 2006 年创造 12 秒 88 的世界纪录。buyout /ˈbaɪaʊt/n. 买断subsidy /ˈsʌbsədi/n. 补贴resettlement /ˌriːˈsetlmənt/n. 安置transition /trænˈzɪʃn/n. 转型

  Chinese novelties firm looking for different growth path from Pop Mart中国新潮玩企业探索不同于泡泡玛特的发展路径In a shopping mall in Hopson One Mall in Yangpu district, Shanghai, hundreds of visitors line up at a popup store. They are drawn by a popular item — squishy cake toys — colorful, foam squeezables designed for stress relief and fashion statements. Unlike ultra-squishy toys, this item has a firmer foam texture, great for office desk decor, party gifts or relieving work and school pressure for both kids and adults alike.在上海杨浦区合生汇购物中心的一家快闪店外，数百名消费者排队等候。他们被一款热门商品吸引——解压蛋糕玩具。这类色彩鲜艳、柔软可捏的泡沫玩具，既能缓解压力，也成为一种时尚表达。与极度柔软、容易变形的传统解压玩具不同，这款蛋糕玩具采用更具支撑感的泡沫材质，既适合作为办公室桌面装饰，也可作为派对礼物，同时能够帮助儿童和成年人缓解学习与工作压力。The squishy cake toy comes in a variety of scrumptious shapes — strawberry, cherry, croissant and mushroom. Each of them is priced at around 25 yuan ($3.7).这些解压蛋糕玩具有多种“美味”造型，包括草莓、樱桃、羊角面包和蘑菇等，每个售价约25元人民币（约合3.7美元）。“I bought three squishy cake toys today. I like the soft touch of the toys. It is very stress-relieving,” said Zhang Le, a 30-year-old designer in Shanghai.“我今天买了三个解压蛋糕玩具。我喜欢它柔软的触感，真的很能缓解压力。”上海一名30岁的设计师张乐说。"I took my daughter to the pop-up store here. She likes squishy cake toys very much. She often shares the toys with her classmate. I bought five for her and one for myself. I can put the squishy cake toy on my office desk. It puts me in a good mood," said Cheng Yuqi, a 45-year-old mother in Shanghai.“我带女儿来到这里的快闪店，她非常喜欢这种玩具。她经常和同学分享。我给她买了五个，也给自己买了一个。我可以把它放在办公室桌上，每次看到它都会让我心情变好。”上海45岁的母亲程雨琪说。Since July, another style of squishy cake toys produced by Shanghai local brand Molynk have gone viral on TikTok. Related videos have already topped 180 million views. The product, priced at 299 yuan, sold out soon after its global debut, with 5,000 units purchased.自7月以来，上海本土品牌莫尼（Molynk）生产的另一款解压蛋糕玩具在TikTok上迅速走红。相关视频浏览量已超过1.8亿次。这款售价299元的产品在全球首发后很快售罄，共有5000件被抢购一空。The toys have become so popular that a large number of tourists from Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand are paying special visits to China, dragging their suitcases to offline stores in Shanghai for shopping trips. After these tourists return to their home countries, even if they resell their products at double or even higher prices, the products are still highly sought after by local consumers, as reported by Xinmin.cn.由于产品热度持续上升，越来越多来自泰国等东南亚国家的游客专程来到中国，拖着行李箱前往上海线下门店购买。据新民网报道，这些游客回国后，即使以两倍甚至更高价格转售，产品依然受到当地消费者追捧。At a soft rubber toy factory in Zhejiang province's Yiwu, located some 300 kilometers from Shanghai, millions of "freshly baked" bun-shaped decompression toys are about to board a truck bound for Ningbo Zhoushan Port, crossing mountains and waterways to Europe and North America.在距离上海约300公里的浙江义乌一家软胶玩具工厂内，数百万个“刚出炉”的包子造型解压玩具即将装车，运往宁波舟山港，再跨越山川河流，销往欧洲和北美市场。The latest data released by the General Administration of Customs of China showed that the total export value of Chinese toys in the first half was $15.6 billion, with some markets showing a recovery trend.中国海关总署最新数据显示，今年上半年，中国玩具出口总额达到156亿美元，部分市场呈现复苏趋势。Behind this evolving phenomenon of exports is a synergy of multiple factors, such as "China-Chic" design breakthroughs, mature supply chain support, global layout acceleration and the enduring and increasing appeal of emotional consumption.这一出口现象背后，是多重因素共同作用的结果，包括“国潮”设计突破、成熟供应链支撑、全球市场布局加速，以及情绪消费持续增长带来的吸引力。In recent years, the global emotional consumption market has continued to heat up, and stress relieving games and items have formed a billion dollar gold mine. According to the Global Stress Relief Toy Special Report issued by Verified Market Research, the global stress relief toy market is expected to reach $6.26 billion by 2026, and is projected to surpass $8.96 billion by 2030.近年来，全球情绪消费市场持续升温，解压游戏和相关产品正在形成一个价值数十亿美元的市场。根据市场研究机构Verified Market Research发布的《全球解压玩具特别报告》，预计到2026年，全球解压玩具市场规模将达到62.6亿美元，并有望在2030年超过89.6亿美元。Li Weiqing, founder and CEO of Molynk — one of the producers of squishy cake toys — said: “Since our establishment, the brand has aimed for a global layout. This may be different from Pop Mart, which was born in China and gradually achieved globalization with later development. When we were founded, we deployed branch offices in the United States, Japan and Spain, with Shanghai as our headquarters.”莫尼（Molynk）创始人兼首席执行官李伟庆表示：“品牌成立以来，就一直以全球化布局为目标。这一点可能不同于泡泡玛特——后者诞生于中国，并在后期发展过程中逐步走向全球化。而我们在创立之初，就已经在美国、日本和西班牙设立分支机构，总部设在上海。”Li Yun, general manager of Unie Toys in Minhang district, Shanghai, said: “We found the soft, colorful squishy cake toys well-received by consumers, both kids and adults. With the accelerated pace of modern life, people are increasingly placing emphasis on things that offer emotional value.”上海闵行区优尼玩具公司总经理李云表示：“我们发现，这种柔软、色彩丰富的解压蛋糕玩具受到儿童和成年消费者的共同欢迎。随着现代生活节奏不断加快，人们越来越重视能够提供情绪价值的产品。”Dong Peng, an independent senior analyst, said: "Shanghai squishy cake toys have gone from low-end OEM to cross-border hard currency, essentially completing the cognitive upgrade from 'emotional consumer goods' to 'cultural symbol carriers', no longer relying on simple price differences, but on precise translation and efficient supply of contemporary people's emotional needs."独立资深分析师董鹏表示：“上海解压蛋糕玩具已经从低端代工产品转变为具有跨境竞争力的产品，本质上完成了从‘情绪消费品’到‘文化符号载体’的认知升级。它们不再依靠简单的价格差异，而是依靠对当代消费者情绪需求的精准理解和高效供应。”squishy /ˈskwɪʃi/ adj.柔软可捏的；有弹性的novelty /ˈnɒvəlti/ n.新奇产品；新颖事物go viral /ɡəʊ ˈvaɪrəl/ v.走红；在网络上迅速传播be well-received /bi wel rɪˈsiːvd/ v.受到欢迎；获得认可emotional value /ɪˈməʊʃənl ˈvæljuː/ n.情绪价值；情感价值China-Chic /ˌtʃaɪnə ˈʃiːk/ n.国潮；中国风时尚潮流global layout /ˈɡləʊbl ˈleɪaʊt/ n.全球布局；国际化布局resell /ˌriːˈsel/ v.转售；二次销售

  英语新闻丨华为发布高端芯片 09.09.2026 4min

  First high-performance processor to adopt the company's LogicFolding首款采用“逻辑折叠”技术的高性能处理器亮相Huawei Technologies Co on Monday unveiled its latest flagship chip, the Kirin 9050 Pro, marking the company's first new high-performance Kirin processor launch at a flagship event since its Mate 40 smartphones global debut six years ago.华为技术有限公司（Huawei Technologies Co）周一发布最新旗舰芯片——麒麟9050 Pro。这是自六年前华为Mate 40系列智能手机全球发布以来，公司首次在旗舰级活动上推出全新的高性能麒麟处理器。The chip, which powers Huawei's newly released Mate XT 2 tri-fold smartphone, is the industry's first high-performance processor to adopt the company's LogicFolding technology. The approach rearranges logic units within a single chip into layered stacks — akin to converting a single-floor layout into a duplex — and adds vertical interconnect channels that function like "elevators" to shorten signal paths and reduce latency.该芯片搭载于华为最新发布的Mate XT 2三折叠智能手机中。据介绍，麒麟9050 Pro是业界首款采用华为“逻辑折叠”技术的高性能处理器。这一技术通过将单个芯片内部的逻辑单元重新排列为分层堆叠结构——类似于将单层建筑改造成复式结构——并增加类似“电梯”的垂直互连通道，从而缩短信号传输路径，降低延迟。The result is a 42 percent improvement in overall device performance over the previous generation chip, Huawei said.华为表示，与上一代芯片相比，搭载麒麟9050 Pro的设备整体性能提升了42%。Yu Chengdong, Huawei's executive director and chairman of the terminal business group, described the chip at the Guangzhou, Guangdong province launch event as "super fast, intelligent and cool" — calling it the most powerful Kirin chip to date.在广东省广州市举行的发布活动上，华为常务董事、终端业务集团董事长余承东将这款芯片形容为“速度超快、智能十足、酷炫强大”，并称其为迄今为止性能最强的麒麟芯片。The Kirin 9050 Pro delivers substantial improvements in large-file loading, multitasking, rendering performance and on-device artificial intelligence capabilities, Huawei said.华为表示，麒麟9050 Pro在大文件加载、多任务处理、图形渲染性能以及端侧人工智能能力方面均实现了显著提升。According to real-world test data, the chip packs 55 percent more transistors per square millimeter than its predecessor, the Kirin 9030 Pro — jumping from approximately 155 million to 238 million transistors per sq mm in a single generation.根据实际测试数据，该芯片每平方毫米晶体管数量较上一代麒麟9030 Pro增加55%，单代产品从约1.55亿个晶体管提升至每平方毫米约2.38亿个晶体管。The Lingxi CPU delivers a 24 percent increase in single-core peak performance and a 52 percent boost in multi-core concurrent performance.麒麟9050 Pro搭载的灵犀CPU，单核峰值性能提升24%，多核并发性能提升52%。The breakthrough comes from LogicFolding, a concept rooted in what Huawei calls the "Tau Scaling Law" — a theoretical framework first proposed by He Tingbo, president of Huawei's semiconductor business, in May.这一技术突破源于“逻辑折叠”理念，其理论基础来自华为提出的“韬定律”。该理论框架由华为半导体业务负责人何庭波于今年5月首次提出。On Friday, He published her third update in less than four months on the ChinaXiv preprint platform, a paper directly addressing industry skepticism about whether dense 3D stacking would inevitably lead to higher power density and heat.周五，何庭波在中国科技论文预发布平台ChinaXiv上发布了不到四个月内的第三次更新论文，直接回应了业界关于“高密度三维堆叠是否必然导致功耗密度升高和散热问题加剧”的质疑。He's answer is a definitive no. The paper explains that the majority of energy consumption in modern chips comes not from computation itself, but from moving data across long on-chip wires — a phenomenon she likens to a worker's daily energy being consumed not by desk work, but by commuting. Logic-Folding replaces long horizontal journeys with short vertical connections — the chip's "elevators" — cutting typical core wiring length by about 20 percent and reducing some critical paths by up to 70 percent.何庭波给出的答案是否定的。论文解释称，现代芯片的大部分能耗并非来自计算本身，而是来自芯片内部长距离数据传输。她将这一现象比作员工日常消耗的能量并非主要用于办公，而是耗费在上下班通勤过程中。“逻辑折叠”技术通过将长距离的水平传输转换为短距离的垂直连接——也就是芯片中的“电梯”——减少数据移动距离。据介绍，该技术可使核心线路平均长度缩短约20%，并将部分关键路径缩短幅度最高提升至70%。She emphasized that "Tau is a time-scaling law, not an energy-scaling law" — the real value lies in converting saved time into lower voltage and frequency, rather than chasing peak performance at the cost of efficiency.何庭波强调：“韬定律是一种时间尺度定律，而不是能量尺度定律。”其真正价值在于将节省下来的时间转化为更低的电压和频率，而不是以牺牲能效为代价追求峰值性能。Xiang Ligang, director-general of the Information Consumption Alliance — a telecom industry association, said that for Huawei, the Kirin 9050 Pro represents more than just a performance upgrade — it's a statement that the company's chip design capabilities continue to advance even as its access to US-related advanced chip manufacturing equipment remains constrained.信息消费联盟（一个电信行业协会）理事长项立刚表示，对于华为而言，麒麟9050 Pro不仅意味着一次性能升级，更表明即使在获取美国相关先进芯片制造设备受到限制的情况下，公司芯片设计能力仍在持续提升。The Kirin 9050 Pro's debut also comes as the global foldable smartphone market reaches a historic inflection point.麒麟9050 Pro的发布，也正值全球折叠屏智能手机市场进入历史性转折阶段。Counterpoint Research said cumulative global foldable smartphone shipments are expected to surpass 100 million units by the end of 2026 — some eight years after the first commercial foldable device launched in 2019.市场研究机构Counterpoint Research表示，到2026年底，全球折叠屏手机累计出货量预计将超过1亿部。这一里程碑距离首款商用折叠屏设备于2019年推出约八年时间。The research firm projects the market will accelerate to 37 percent year-on-year growth in 2027, driven by Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8 series and Apple's anticipated entry into the foldable segment.该机构预计，2027年折叠屏手机市场增速将达到37%的同比增长。推动市场增长的主要因素包括三星Galaxy Z Fold8系列产品以及苹果预计进入折叠屏手机市场。unveil /ʌnˈveɪl/ v.发布；揭晓；推出flagship chip /ˈflæɡʃɪp tʃɪp/ n.旗舰芯片mark the first time that... /mɑːrk ðə fɜːrst taɪm/ phr.标志着首次……improve overall performance /ɪmˈpruːvˌəʊvərˈɔːl pəˈfɔːməns/ phr.提升整体性能deliver improvements in /dɪˈlɪvə(r) ɪmˈpruːvmənts ɪn/ phr.在……方面实现提升address industry skepticism /əˈdresˈɪndəstriˈskeptɪsɪzəm/ phr.回应行业质疑remain constrained by /rɪˈmeɪn kənˈstreɪnd baɪ/ phr.受到……限制reach an inflection point /riːtʃ ən ɪnˈflekʃn pɔɪnt/ phr.达到转折点year-on-year growth /ˌjɪər ɒnˈjɪərɡrəʊθ/ n.同比增长

  英语新闻丨利用人工智能缩小全球科技鸿沟 08.09.2026 4min

  Developing nations seek greater access to talent, infrastructure to boost growth发展中国家寻求更多人才、基础设施支持，以推动人工智能发展Developing nations are seeking greater access to talent, infrastructure, artificial intelligence models and governance expertise, as they aim to harness AI without lagging further behind in its development and application, officials and experts from Global South countries said at an AI workshop in Beijing.全球南方国家的官员和专家在北京举行的一场人工智能研讨会上表示，发展中国家正寻求更多机会获取人工智能人才、基础设施、人工智能模型以及治理经验，以便在利用人工智能推动发展的过程中避免进一步落后于全球技术发展和应用进程。The fourth Workshop on AI Capacity Building is being held at Peking University from Monday through Saturday, with representatives from more than 30 nations attending.第四届人工智能能力建设研讨班于周一至周六在北京大学举行，来自30多个国家的代表参加了此次活动。The AI capacity building workshop follows President Xi Jinping’s announcement at the 2026 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in July, in which he said that China would provide developing countries with 5,000 opportunities for AI training and seminars over the next five years.此次人工智能能力建设研讨班，是继中国国家主席习近平在2026年7月举行的世界人工智能大会暨全球人工智能治理高级别会议上宣布相关倡议之后举办的活动。习近平当时表示，未来五年，中国将向发展中国家提供5000个开展人工智能培训和研讨交流的机会。Speaking at the workshop’s opening ceremony, Renan Gaya, director of data structuring and artificial intelligence at Brazil’s Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services, said that deep disparities in data, computing capacity, talent, standards and capital continue to shape the global AI landscape.在研讨班开幕式上，巴西管理与公共服务创新部数据结构化与人工智能司司长雷南·加亚（Renan Gaya）表示，数据、算力、人才、标准和资本方面存在的巨大差距，正在持续塑造全球人工智能发展格局。“Without collective action, AI may reinforce historical inequalities and create new forms of technological dependence,” Gaya said, adding that “countries must build their own capacity or, at least, reduce strategic dependencies”. “如果缺乏集体行动，人工智能可能会强化历史性不平等，并产生新的技术依赖形式。”加亚说。他补充道，“各国必须建立自身能力，或者至少降低在战略领域的依赖程度。”He added that the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization, or WAICO, and United Nations programs could help bridge the digital divide by sharing knowledge and providing training in areas where they are most needed.他表示，世界人工智能合作组织（WAICO）以及联合国相关项目，可以通过分享知识、在最需要的领域提供培训，帮助缩小数字鸿沟。“By sharing open-source AI models and knowledge through training and partnerships, China helps others build their own capacity,” he said.他说：“通过培训和合作伙伴关系分享开源人工智能模型与知识，中国正在帮助其他国家建设自身能力。”In 2024, China promoted the adoption of a UN General Assembly resolution on AI capacity building by consensus. The country later launched further initiatives to expand practical cooperation in the field and proposed the establishment of the WAICO.2024年，中国推动联合国大会就人工智能能力建设通过一项协商一致决议。随后，中国进一步推出扩大人工智能领域务实合作的相关倡议，并提出建立世界人工智能合作组织。Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Bin described China as an early advocate of AI capacity building and noted that all of the participants in the workshop are from founding members of the WAICO, reflecting a commitment to ensuring that the initial participants would also be among the first to benefit.中国外交部副部长刘彬表示，中国是人工智能能力建设的早期倡导者。他指出，本次研讨班所有参与方均来自世界人工智能合作组织创始成员，这体现了确保首批参与者也能率先受益的承诺。However, Liu said that the potential of AI would not automatically translate into benefits for common development, and that it could instead entrench or even exacerbate inequalities. He said that capacity building should go beyond simply providing access to technologies and services, adding that greater emphasis should be placed on helping developing countries build the capabilities required to develop and apply AI more independently, using it to solve real-world problems in ways that generate lasting value.不过，刘彬表示，人工智能的发展潜力并不会自动转化为促进共同发展的成果，反而可能进一步固化甚至扩大不平等。他指出，能力建设不应仅停留在提供技术和服务的层面，而应更加重视帮助发展中国家提升自主开发和应用人工智能的能力，使其能够利用人工智能解决现实问题，并创造长期价值。Antoine Pokam, an inspector at the Inspectorate General in charge of Technical Matters of Cameroon's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, pointed to infrastructure, financing and access to AI models as areas in which developing countries need greater support.喀麦隆邮政与电信部技术事务总监察局检查员安托万·波坎（Antoine Pokam）指出，基础设施、资金支持以及获取人工智能模型，是发展中国家需要获得更多支持的重要领域。Stressing the need for capacity-building programs, he added that support was also required for projects, financing and infrastructure.他强调，开展能力建设项目十分必要，同时相关支持也应覆盖项目实施、融资以及基础设施建设等方面。Aung Myo Maung, deputy director of the National AI Development Department of Myanmar’s Ministry of Digital Development and Communications, said as Myanmar moves toward digitalization, the country’s government could benefit from China’s experience in areas such as data analytics and decision-support systems.缅甸数字发展与通信部国家人工智能发展司副司长昂妙茂（Aung Myo Maung）表示，随着缅甸迈向数字化转型，政府可以借鉴中国在数据分析、决策支持系统等领域的经验。Thanongdeuane Toulihong, deputy director of the Applied Research Institute of Smart Technology under Laos’ Ministry of Technology and Communications, said that human resources and infrastructure are among the major constraints facing AI development in his country, and that relevant policy frameworks also need to be developed further.老挝技术与通信部智慧技术应用研究院副院长塔农杜安·图里洪（Thanongdeuane Toulihong）表示，人力资源和基础设施是当前制约老挝人工智能发展的主要因素之一，同时，相关政策框架也需要进一步完善。[词汇提炼]harness /ˈhɑːrnɪs/ v.利用；驾驭；有效运用capacity building /kəˈpæsəti ˌbɪldɪŋ/ n.能力建设；能力提升infrastructure /ˈɪnfrəˌstrʌktʃər/ n.基础设施governance /ˈɡʌvərnəns/ n.治理；管理体系disparity /dɪˈspærəti/ n.差距；不平等；悬殊reinforce /ˌriːɪnˈfɔːrs/ v.强化；加剧；巩固dependency /dɪˈpendənsi/ n.依赖；依赖关系collective action /kəˈlektɪv ˈækʃn/ n.集体行动；共同努力

  Editorial丨Addressing the deficits in global governance 08.09.2026 4min

  China, as the second-largest contributor to the United Nations' regular budget, accounts for about 20 percent of total assessed contributions, trailing only the United States.中国是联合国常规预算的第二大缴款国，承担的经常预算分摊比例约占总额的20%，仅次于美国。However, unlike the US, China has consistently paid its regular dues in full and on time, and with its recent payment it has paid its full annual dues of $641 million, earning public acknowledgment and praise from the UN.然而，与美国不同的是，中国始终按时足额缴纳联合国会费。随着近期完成最新一笔缴款，中国已支付全年全部会费，共计6.41亿美元，并获得联合国方面公开认可和赞扬。Saying the funds “come in handy”, a spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday thanked China for its latest payment. Speaking at a news briefing, Stephane Dujarric said that “having the full amount is extremely helpful to the ongoing liquidity crisis” the UN faces. He added that China's payment brought the number of fully paid-up member states to 133.联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯的发言人周三表示，这笔资金“非常及时”。联合国发言人斯特凡·杜加里克在新闻发布会上感谢中国完成最新缴款，并表示：“收到全额资金对于缓解联合国当前面临的流动性危机极其有帮助。”他还指出，中国的缴款使按时足额缴纳会费的会员国数量达到133个。The most notable exception is the US, which accounts for about 98 percent of unpaid contributions to the UN's main budget. The US administration has stated its intention to pay $725 million to the UN, but when asked about it, Dujarric could only say that “it is in the pipeline”.最引人关注的例外是美国。美国约占联合国常规预算未缴款项的98%。美国政府此前表示计划向联合国支付7.25亿美元，但当被问及具体进展时，杜加里克只能回应称，这笔款项“正在办理过程中”。As the organization's largest “debtor”, the US reportedly has outstanding arrears totaling over $4 billion for the regular budget, of which $1.8 billion is for peacekeeping operations. This chronic underpayment has directly constrained the UN's cash flow, forced delays in peacekeeping operations, and hindered the implementation of vital programs worldwide.作为联合国最大的“债务国”，据报道，美国拖欠联合国常规预算的欠款总额超过40亿美元，其中约18亿美元涉及维和行动。长期不足额缴纳会费，已经直接影响联合国现金流，导致维和行动被迫延迟，并阻碍全球范围内重要项目的实施。Washington's failure to honor its financial obligations not only undermines the UN, but also creates a persistent financial strain that other member states are left to partially offset. The situation led Guterres to warn that the UN is facing a “race to bankruptcy” unless its member states pay their dues in full and on time.美国未履行其财政义务，不仅削弱了联合国的运行能力，也造成持续性的资金压力，使其他会员国不得不在一定程度上承担弥补责任。联合国秘书长古特雷斯曾警告称，如果会员国不能按时足额缴纳会费，联合国正面临一场“走向破产的赛跑”。Because of severe financial strains facilitated by a broader US retreat from multilateralism and shifting donor priorities, the UN departments and other international organizations in Geneva are reportedly facing unprecedented funding cuts and staff member reductions, with over 3,000 jobs lost since 2025. Agencies such as UNICEF, the UN agency for children's welfare, are downsizing or relocating; while UNAIDS, dedicated to tackling HIV/AIDS, faces possible closure. Although Switzerland and local foundations have pledged financial support, Geneva's status as the “capital of multilateralism” is now being challenged.由于美国更广泛地减少对多边主义的支持以及捐助重点发生变化，联合国日内瓦办事处及其他国际组织正面临前所未有的资金削减和人员裁撤。据报道，自2025年以来，相关机构已有超过3000个岗位被削减。负责儿童福利工作的联合国机构——联合国儿童基金会（UNICEF）正在缩减规模或调整办公地点；致力于应对艾滋病问题的联合国艾滋病规划署（UNAIDS）也面临可能关闭的风险。尽管瑞士政府和当地基金会已承诺提供资金支持，但日内瓦作为“多边主义之都”的地位正受到挑战。What the US has done in recent years — deliberately withholding or delaying its assessed contributions to the UN — has undoubtedly weakened not only Geneva's long-held role as a hub for international cooperation, but also the collaborative spirit that has been central to addressing global challenges ranging from pandemics to climate change.近年来，美国有意拖延或拒绝缴纳应承担的联合国会费，这一做法无疑削弱了日内瓦长期以来作为国际合作中心的作用，也削弱了国际社会应对全球性挑战的合作精神——这些挑战包括疫情防控和气候变化等。All these developments expose deeper problems that have long plagued the UN and its affiliated agencies. The result has been a widening disconnect between rights and responsibilities, and a steady erosion of the UN's ability to operate with stability and predictability.上述变化暴露出长期困扰联合国及其附属机构的更深层次问题。其结果是，权利与责任之间的脱节不断扩大，联合国保持稳定和可预期运行的能力也持续受到削弱。China consistently supports UN reform and emphasizes that it should focus on improving efficiency and enhancing governance capabilities. On the one hand, the UN needs to strengthen budget management and implement comprehensive performance oversight. This involves eliminating redundant structures, inefficient processes and overlapping functions to optimize global resource allocation and reduce unnecessary expenditures.中国始终支持联合国改革，并强调改革应着眼于提高效率、增强治理能力。一方面，联合国需要加强预算管理，实施全面的绩效监督。这包括减少重复机构、低效流程和职能重叠，以优化全球资源配置，降低不必要支出。On the other hand, its reform should adhere to the principles of fairness and inclusivity, with governance resources and development benefits to be channeled toward key areas such as poverty reduction, livelihoods, public health and regional development.另一方面，联合国改革应坚持公平和包容原则，将治理资源和发展成果更多投入到减贫、民生、公共卫生以及区域发展等关键领域。The US’ shift away from multilateralism is a shortsighted approach that overlooks the interconnected nature of today’s global issues. Nations should abandon zero-sum thinking, uphold the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and support structural reforms within the UN. Such steps are essential to invigorating the multilateral system and building a solid foundation for global peace, development and shared benefits.美国偏离多边主义方向的做法是一种短视策略，忽视了当今全球问题相互关联的现实。各国应摒弃零和思维，坚持《联合国宪章》的宗旨和原则，支持联合国进行结构性改革。这些努力对于激发多边体系活力、为全球和平、发展与共同受益奠定坚实基础，都具有重要意义。 assessed contribution /əˈsest ˌkɒntrɪˈbjuːʃn/ n.分摊会费；核定缴款dues /duːz/ n.应缴费用；会费acknowledgment /əkˈnɒlɪdʒmənt/ n.认可；承认；感谢liquidity /lɪˈkwɪdəti/ n.流动性；资金周转能力outstanding /aʊtˈstændɪŋ/ adj.未支付的；未解决的；拖欠的arrears /əˈrɪrz/ n.欠款；拖欠款项obligation /ˌɒblɪˈɡeɪʃn/ n.义务；责任multilateralism /ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/ n.多边主义
