中国在气候峰会上的榜样作用
2025-11-12
| China has become something of a global role model for a greener economy at the Cop30 UN climate change summit in Brazil, following a new report showing that the nation's carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months. China and the US are the world's two biggest emitters of the greenhouse gas. A report from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air found China's emissions in the third quarter were unchanged from a year earlier on reductions in travel, cement and steel industries. The report, which also credited rapidly rising use of solar and wind power for the downward trend, said China is well ahead of schedule in meeting its targets for peak emissions by 2030 and net carbon neutrality by 2060.
André Corrêa do Lago, a Brazilian diplomat and president of Cop30, praised Chinese progress on green technologies but said one country alone cannot stave off a pending climate crisis. "China is coming up with solutions that are for everyone, not just China," he said, noting that that most of the world's rich countries have lost their enthusiasm for tackling the climate crisis. |

俄罗斯持续袭击乌克兰，东部城市或将失守
2025-11-10
| Russian military forces are poised to seize the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, a target the Kremlin has been pursuing for 21 months. The fall of the city would be more a symbolic than a strategic victory, CNN said. Elsewhere in Ukraine, a barrage of Russian missiles and drones this weekend hit 15 sites, including energy infrastructure and residential areas. Ukraine said substations that power two nuclear power plants were among the targets. Parts of the capital Kiev suffered blackouts.
The US has slapped sanctions on Russian oil giants Rosneft and Lukoil to try to force Moscow to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, and has threatened sanctions on countries that buy oil or gas from them. However, President Donald Trump on Friday granted Hungary a one-year exemption after meeting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at the White House. Orban is the most right-wing leader in the EU and an ally of Trump's. |

台湾或受超强台风影响
2025-11-10
| Super typhoon Fung-wong bore down on the Philippines barely a week after another strong typhoon left 200 dead, 100 missing and a trail of destruction across the islands. Fung-wong had sustained winds of 185 kilometers an hour and a circulation span of 1,800 kilometers when it barreled into the main island of Luzon.

中国解除对三种元素的出口禁令
2025-11-10
| China suspended a ban on export approvals for so-called "dual-use items" related to gallium, germanium, antimony – three elements used in semiconductors, among other industrial uses – and super-hard materials to the US, the commerce ministry announced on Sunday. The suspension will be in effect for a year, Beijing said. No further details were given. "Dual-use" items refer to technology that can be used for both civilian and military purposes. Gallium, germanium and antimony are not scientifically classed as rare earths.
Chinese customs said on Friday it is restoring soybean import licenses for three US firms. The announcements in recent days relate to the trade agreement reached by Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump at a summit late last month in South Korea. At the China International Import Expo in Shanghai, Mark Wilson, chairman of the US Grains and BioProducts Council, said the agricultural group has had good trade relations with China for 43 years and won't be leaving the mainland market, no matter how US-China relations evolve. "We're here to stay," he said, noting that a shipment of US sorghum is currently en route to China. |

美国因政府关门削减机场航班
2025-11-07
| The Trump administration ordered a 10 percent reduction in flights at 40 major US airports, beginning on Friday, as a government shutdown entered a record-breaking 36th day with no resolution pending. The shutdown has forced 13,000 air traffic controllers across the country to work without pay, Reuters reported, resulting in widespread flight delays that have impacted 3.2 million passengers. The shutdown began after Congress failed to appropriate funds for the government fiscal year that began October 1, amid a gridlock over healthcare funding. The flight reductions come two weeks ahead of the annual Thanksgiving holiday period, one of the year's busiest air travel times. | |
