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. Its preliminary track shows Taiwan possibly in its path later this week. The western Pacific is no stranger to typhoons, but the tropical cyclones this season have been stronger than usual. | |

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. | |

中国在上海世博会彰显自由贸易承诺
2025-11-06
| Chinese Premier Li Qiang said China is resolved to open wider its huge consumer market to international businesses. In a keynote address opening the 8th China International Import Expo in Shanghai, he said all nations must embrace free markets during a time of global economic slowdown and geopolitical disputes. "China is willing to work with all parties to create an open and inclusive development environment, enhance trade and investment, and ensure the stability of global supply chains," he said, adding that the agreement reached at the recent South Korean summit between President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump was a significant step in trying to restore normalcy. The trade expo, largest of its kind in the world, runs from November 5-10, aiming to burnish China's free trade credentials and encourage foreign participation in domestic markets.
Separately, Commerce Minister Wang Wentao announced a new initiative to increase imports, promoting China as a huge market opportunity for foreign producers. On the eve of the expo opening, he said the campaign will include 10 major events a year, featuring five or six countries each time. |

中国航天员返程因太空碎片推迟
2025-11-06
| China's space agency said the scheduled return to Earth of the Shenzhou-20 crew from the orbiting Tiangong space station was delayed on Wednesday after the spacecraft was possibly hit by bits of space debris. An analysis and risk assessment are being undertaken, the agency. The crew of Shenzhou-20 were due to return after the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft successfully docked last week with a relief crew of astronauts. Global concern about mounting space debris created by so many countries launching satellites prompted Chinese President Xi Jinping last year to suggest China and Arab countries jointly build a "space debris observation center." | |

2025-11-05
| The China International Import Expo, the largest trade show of its kind in the world, opens for its eighth year in Shanghai today, drawing a record participation of 4,108 companies from around the world. Underscoring the importance of the event, Chinese Premier Li Qiang will deliver a keynote address at the formal opening. The exhibition affords China the opportunity to show the world its commitment to free trade, encourage foreign investment and showcase new products and services.
The first seven expos together generated trade deals valued at US$500 billion. It will feature the debut of 460 new Chinese products and technologies in frontier industries, including humanoid robots. The six-day trade show will be staged in an area equivalent to 60 soccer fields at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). China launched the show in 2018 to dispel criticism from the US and other countries that its domestic markets weren't open wide enough to foreigners. A record 430,000 people attended expo last year, and this year's attendance may well surpass that mark. The Hongqiao International Economic Forum will be held in tandem with the trade fair. |
