[00:00:41] , the 25th day of the sixth lunar month . Today is
[00:00:44] Lidong, one of the 24 solar terms . Welcome to the News Broadcast program
[00:00:48] . First, let me introduce the main content of today's program
[00:00:52] . General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that we need to enhance consumption capacity , improve consumption conditions
[00:00:56] , and innovate consumption scenarios , so that consumption potential can be fully unleashed

[00:01:21] . Let's take a look today . Shanghai is innovating and cultivating new models for industrial development
[00:01:25] , promoting continuous breakthroughs in future industries
[00:01:29] .
[00:01:42] The environmental quality within China's ecological protection red line continues to improve. Japanese people held parades and rallies in Hiroshima, Osaka and other places to oppose the Japanese government's attempt to amend the three non-nuclear principles and a series of dangerous moves . Iran said it
[00:01:46] would prohibit US and Israeli ships from passing through the Strait of Hormuz
[00:01:50] . Here's the detailed report
[00:01:53] . Consumption
[00:01:56] . Is becoming
[00:02:04] an increasingly fundamental force driving China's economic growth. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the need to strengthen consumption capacity , improve consumption conditions
[00:02:08] , and innovate consumption scenarios, so that consumption potential can be fully unleashed
[00:02:12] . In the opening year of the 14th Five-Year Plan, China
[00:02:16] has followed the laws of consumption development and its phased characteristics, continuously optimizing
[00:02:20] and upgrading the consumption structure, expanding service consumption, and better meeting
[00:02:23] the people's growing needs for a better life
[00:02:27] .
[00:02:30] During the summer season, consumption enthusiasm is high across the country . Watching games in cinemas
[00:02:34] while enjoying delicious food, strolling through shopping malls with rainforest experiences and extreme sports
[00:02:37] , the cross-industry trends behind this reflect new
[00:02:41] changes in people's consumption bills . Buying experiences
[00:02:45] and services is becoming a new trend
[00:02:49] . In the first half of this year, China's service retail sales increased by 5.3% year-on-year
[00:02:53] , with a growth rate 4.2 percentage points higher than that of commodity retail sales
[00:02:56] . Residents' per capita service consumption expenditure accounts for
[00:03:06] . From growth rate to proportion, from structure to contribution, service consumption
[00:03:10] is increasingly becoming an important engine for driving domestic demand
[00:03:14] . Residents' consumption demand is also shifting from "having it or not" to "how good it is" .
[00:03:18] However, consumption supply cannot keep up with the pace of consumption upgrading
[00:03:21] . Under the new situation, how to fully unleash consumption potential
[00:03:25] and make consumption a key driving force for economic growth
[00:03:29] . In many important meetings, General Secretary Xi Jinping
[00:03:32] has always emphasized the need to adapt to the trend of consumption structure upgrading
[00:03:36] , innovate consumption formats and models, and explicitly pointed
[00:03:40] out the need to form new growth points such as service consumption
[00:03:44] . In response to existing problems and shortcomings in the consumption field, he has deployed in-depth implementation
[00:03:48] of special actions to boost consumption , formulated and implemented plans to increase urban and rural residents'
[00:03:51] income, cleaned up unreasonable restrictions in the consumption field
[00:03:55] , and other measures to adapt to changes in consumption structure
[00:03:59] . He emphasized the need to expand the supply of high-quality goods and services
[00:04:02] , and unleash the consumption potential of culture, tourism, sports , catering, and health care services
[00:04:06] . In response to life services closely related to people's lives
[00:04:10] , General Secretary Xi Jinping explicitly requested the in-depth
[00:04:14] implementation of actions to expand the capacity and improve the quality of the service industry , promoting the high-quality, diversified
[00:04:18] and convenient development of life service industries . A series of major deployments
[00:04:22] by General Secretary Xi Jinping closely link economic development with improving people's lives
[00:04:26] , accurately covering the new characteristics of current consumption upgrading
[00:04:30] . By increasing the supply of high-quality services , promoting the coordinated development of goods and services consumption
[00:04:33] , accelerating the highlighting of China's super-large market advantages , and providing sufficient impetus
[00:04:37] for high-quality economic development . Since the beginning of this year, from the central
[00:04:41] government to local governments, efforts have been made to improve consumption policies , innovate consumption scenarios
[00:04:45] , improve consumption conditions , and further activate the potential of the super-large
[00:04:49] market . Around transportation, home appliance, sports
[00:04:52] events and other fields, the state has introduced 12 measures, focusing
[00:04:56] on promoting the upgrading of service consumption . AI intelligent upgrade has existed independently and continuously
[00:05:23] . A series of policy combinations have been implemented and shown results, and new consumption growth
[00:05:27] space is constantly being opened up . On Nanjing's
[00:05:30] Yangtze Road, there are more than a dozen cultural and museum venues along the 1800-meter-long
[00:05:34] street. During the summer, the number of visitors to the venues has increased significantly
[00:05:38] . The brand-new immersive experience brought by digital technology is the traffic password
[00:05:42] of this street
[00:05:44] .
[00:05:48] Since the beginning of this year, China has promoted the integrated development of commerce , tourism, culture, and sports
[00:05:52] , and new consumption scenarios are accelerating their implementation. Traveling with movies
[00:05:56] and traveling with textbooks have become new trends
[00:06:00] . During the summer, parent-child tours and study tours continue to be popular
[00:06:04] . City football leagues are booming in many places, and the ticket economy
[00:06:07] connects eating, living, and playing , effectively extending the consumption chain
[00:06:11] . In the first half of the year, China's tourism and entertainment service sales revenue
[00:06:15] increased by 12.3% year-on-year
[00:06:18] . This summer, traveling and shopping in China has become a new trend for many foreign tourists
[00:06:22] . At Shenzhen Port , in recent times,
[00:06:26] an average of tens of thousands of foreigners enter the country every day
[00:06:29] . We want to explore every part of China, the city
[00:06:33] and also the countryside. We want to understand Chinese culture, food
[00:06:37] , everything
[00:06:38] .
[00:07:05] Today, digital technology is also accelerating the promotion of service upgrades
[00:07:09] , making life more convenient . Buying everyone
[00:07:23] . The one-hour convenient living circle is fully launched, and many places across the country are exploring the use of cloud computing , artificial intelligence
[00:07:27] and other technologies to optimize the layout of convenient living circles
[00:07:31] and service facilities , to create intelligent medical care
[00:07:35] , smart markets , smart elderly care and
[00:07:38] a series of digital living scenarios . The supply continues to expand, on a super large scale
[00:08:14] . In the future, the industrial track will be defined by institutional exploration and innovation to cultivate new models of industrial development
[00:08:18] , and promote continuous breakthroughs in future industries
[00:08:21] .
[00:08:23] The number of brain-computer interface companies in Shanghai accounts for about one-third
[00:08:27] of the country's total. When the reporter interviewed this company , he met Wang Zhuoyao
[00:08:31] , a staff member of the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission . He now also has
[00:08:35] an identity, which is the brain-computer interface project manager. This team
[00:08:38] is led by government departments and mainly focuses on high-end
[00:08:57] . It was also discovered by Wang Zhuoyao and his team in an innovation competition. After cultivation and incubation, this cutting-edge technology was quickly put into application
[00:09:01] and completed the country's first micro-window brain-computer interface surgery
[00:09:05] . Through some communication with the patients , we found that they are also very eager
[00:09:08] to regain the ability to walk . So, we also proactively discovered
[00:09:12] the technology of such a team to help patients recover
[00:09:16] the motor function of their lower limbs. Although the research results have been implemented , because there was no corresponding rehabilitation equipment
[00:09:20] , the patients' subsequent training could not keep up
[00:09:24] . Faced with this new problem , the team continued to follow up
[00:09:28] , connecting with high-efficiency enterprises and other resources . Through joint public relations
[00:09:32] , a set of exoskeleton equipment for brain-computer interface postoperative rehabilitation
[00:09:35] was developed
[00:09:37] .
[00:10:12] In many aspects, they actively help us find resources and quickly turn our scientific research
[00:10:16] team's desired technology into products . Currently
[00:10:20] , Shanghai is targeting six major future industrial directions and has selected
[00:10:23] more than 20 future
[00:10:55] industries. It has accumulated verification of nearly 200 scientific research results. By 2027
[00:10:58] , it aims to break through a batch of cutting-edge disruptive technologies
[00:11:02] and cultivate about 20 leading enterprises in the future industrial ecosystem
[00:11:06] . By 2030 , it aims to promote the formation of several strategic new
[00:11:10] emerging industries and become a world-leading future industry hub
[00:11:14] . Looking ahead to 2050, Shanghai is accelerating the cultivation of future industries, establishing
[00:11:18] project manager teams, highlighting the accelerated industrial chain and the empowerment of
[00:11:21] all elements, connecting basic research and technological breakthroughs
[00:11:55] . Among them, exports were 17.4 trillion yuan, an increase of 14%
[00:11:59] , and imports were 12.69 trillion yuan, an increase of
[00:12:02] 22% . The import growth rate was eight percentage points
[00:12:06] higher than the export growth rate, demonstrating China's active expansion of opening up and significant achievements
[00:12:10] in promoting balanced import and export development . In July, imports and exports reached
[00:12:14] 4.6 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.2%
[00:12:17] , continuing the stable and positive trend . The diversified foreign trade pattern continues to be
[00:12:21] consolidated, and China's imports and exports with more than 180 countries and regions
[00:12:26] maintained growth. Among them, imports and exports to countries along the Belt and Road increased by 15.5%
[00:12:30] and 21%
[00:12:35] , respectively. High-end manufacturing has expanded in scale and accelerated its iteration, continuously shaping new competitive advantages
[00:12:39] in foreign trade . In the first seven months, exports of mechanical and electrical products
[00:12:43] increased by 21.2% , accounting for more than 60%
[00:12:46] of total exports . At the same time, imports of mechanical and electrical products
[00:12:49] increased by 29.7% , and imports of agricultural products
[00:12:53] increased by 56.9%. In the same period, foreign investment in export-oriented industries increased by 17.6% and 17.3% respectively. The powerful synergy of various entities developing with high quality has been observed in China's economy
[00:14:52] . This year, China has for the first time launched 20 large-scale, comprehensive advancement pilot projects for yield improvement
[00:14:56] . At the same time, the number of comprehensive advancement pilot projects has increased from 702 to 1,000, promoting a wider range of balanced yield increases
[00:14:59] . Shandong is building 504 demonstration areas for yield improvement
[00:15:03] across the province, with water-fertilizer integrated irrigation as a key yield-increasing technology. The coverage area has increased to 9.3 million
[00:15:07] mu. Facing the continuous high temperatures in recent days, Gaotang County has activated a smart water
[00:15:10] and fertilizer drip irrigation system , adopting small, frequent, and multiple
[00:15:14] irrigations to fully ensure the water and nutrient needs for corn growth
[00:15:18] . Currently, this technology has covered all 100,000
[00:15:22] mu of corn yield improvement project areas .
[00:15:37] Implement precise field management based on local conditions to effectively cope with continuous rainfall
[00:15:41] , typhoon transits, and localized high-temperature impacts .
[00:15:45] Currently, there are still about two months until the large-scale autumn grain harvest
[00:15:49] . The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has successively issued technical guidance for corn and rice
[00:15:52] to cope with high-temperature heat stress and technical guidance for soybeans to cope with high-temperature
[00:15:56] drought, guiding various regions to strengthen field management for different crops and regions
[00:16:00] , promoting the transformation and upgrading of seedlings , and comprehensively consolidating
[00:16:04] the foundation for autumn grain production .
[00:16:07] In recent years, China's sales of new energy heavy trucks have increased significantly
[00:16:11] , and their application scenarios have also expanded from traditional port collection and distribution, transportation, and
[00:16:15] long-distance trunk lines to urban logistics and inter-provincial freight transportation
[00:16:19] . Green license plates are accelerating their implementation
[00:16:22] .
[00:16:24] In Zouchang, Shandong, a batch of brand-new electric heavy trucks has just been delivered
[00:16:28] . In previous years, we dared not invest on a large scale. This year,
[00:16:32] as charging stations for long-distance heavy trucks are being built nationwide
[00:16:36] , we have started to actively promote
[00:16:38] the gradual improvement of the charging and swapping network , which gives enterprises the confidence
[00:16:42] to buy. What really prompted enterprises to decide to replace vehicles in batches was
[00:16:45] the real economic benefits. Four years ago, the unit price of new energy heavy trucks
[00:16:49] exceeded 800,000 yuan. Two years ago, it dropped to more than 600,000 yuan
[00:16:53] . This year, the state officially allocated 22 billion yuan in ultra-long-term special
[00:16:57] government bonds to support the scrapping and renewal of old operating freight trucks. More and more
[00:17:01] logistics companies are accelerating the transition from oil to electricity
[00:17:04] . For a 500-kilometer transport distance ,
[00:18:35] it is also a natural habitat for rare wild animal and plant species
[00:18:39] . From the assessment results, among the 452 national nature reserves
[00:18:43] , 236 are excellent
[00:18:46] , 211 are good, and five are medium
[00:18:50] . The excellent and good rate reached 98.9%
[00:18:53] . The assessment showed that the population of
[00:18:56] protected animal and plant species increased in 87.1% of the protected areas
[00:19:00] . Giant pandas, Asian elephants, golden snub-nosed monkeys, Yangtze River fish,
[00:19:03] snow leopards, Siberian tigers and other rare protected species
[00:19:11] have continuously expanded their range, and the ecological quality of protected areas has significantly improved . 97.3% of the protected
[00:19:14] areas have excellent surface water quality . Forest, grassland, and wetland
[00:19:18] ecosystems have been effectively protected and restored, providing
[00:19:22] solid ecological support for regional high-quality development
[00:19:25] . In addition, China completed the identification of ecologically important
[00:19:29] areas such as water source protection areas and soil erosion-prone
[00:19:33] areas in 2023 , as well as ecologically sensitive
[00:19:36] areas
[00:20:04] . The assessment showed that the ecological environment within the national ecological protection red line has generally improved, the area remains stable, ecological functions are steadily improving, and environmental quality continues to improve
[00:20:38] . The National Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters Office today organized departments such as the China Meteorological Administration to consult
[00:20:41] and assess that Typhoon Khanun , the 13th typhoon of this year, is expected to make landfall in Zhejiang
[00:20:45] to northern Fujian between the afternoon of the 9th and the morning of the 10th .
[00:20:48] The State Administration of Foreign Exchange statistics show that as of the end of July, China's foreign exchange reserves
[00:21:07] stood at 3,418.8 billion US dollars, an increase of
[00:21:11] 2.5 billion US dollars from the end of June . The scale of foreign exchange reserves
[00:21:14] remained basically stable .
[00:21:16] The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing
[00:21:19] announced today that China's inventory index in July
[00:21:23] was 50.3% , an increase of 0.1 percentage points
[00:21:26] from the previous month . The index has been operating in the expansion range
[00:21:30] for two consecutive months , and the efficiency of commodity turnover has significantly improved
[00:21:34] . The demand for cold chain food warehousing services has grown relatively fast
[00:21:38] . In the first half of this year, market supervision
[00:21:42] departments nationwide carried out special actions to implement the fair competition review system
[00:21:46] . They reviewed more than 30,000 policy measures that have been introduced
[00:22:00] . They held talks with relevant government departments 51 times, continuously breaking down policy barriers and single points that hinder the construction of a unified national
[00:22:04] market .
[00:22:07] The National Healthcare Security Administration recently released relevant data on the National Basic Medical Insurance Drug List
[00:22:11] from 2000 to 2025 . Since the first version of the medical insurance drug list
[00:22:14] was released in 2000, in the past 25 years , the total number of drugs on the medical insurance list
[00:22:18] has increased from 1535 to 3253 in 2025
[00:22:22] , achieving a doubling in quantity
[00:22:25] . The 2026
[00:22:28] summer film box office today exceeded 8 billion yuan
[00:22:31] . The annual box office is close to 23.8 billion yuan
[00:22:35] . Since the beginning of summer, the daily box office has exceeded 100 million yuan for nearly a month
[00:22:39] . Among them, "Kung Fu Woman" and "Eight Immortals"
[00:22:43] have grossed over 2.2 billion yuan and over 1.3 billion yuan respectively
[00:22:47] , ranking first and second . In addition
[00:23:07] , with the warming up of the domestic cultural tourism market and inbound tourism, it is estimated that since the beginning of this year, the output value of the entire film industry chain driven by the movie boom has exceeded 360 billion yuan. From August 5th to 9th, the CMG Film Culture Carnival
[00:23:10] Wuhan special event was held . Taking the 2026 Film
[00:23:14] Economy Promotion Year as an opportunity , it launched film chip releases
[00:23:17] , film industry experience, open-air cinemas and other series of activities
[00:23:21] . Currently, it has attracted nearly 450,000 people to participate. The event is guided
[00:23:25] by the National Film Administration, and co-hosted by the China Media Group and the Wuhan Municipal
[00:23:29] People's Government .
[00:23:33] Tonight, the CMG CCTV News Channel's high-end interview program will broadcast
[00:23:37] an exclusive interview with Simon Stiell , Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework
[00:23:40] Convention on Climate Change Secretariat . Stiell highly praised China's
[00:23:44] outstanding leadership in green development . He believes that China's solutions
[00:23:48] provide for the world
[00:24:20] . We call for peace. Amending the three non-nuclear principles is absolutely unacceptable
[00:24:24] . The outflow of lethal weapons from Japan is a harmful
[00:24:28] and egregious situation. In Osaka , people also held protest rallies
[00:24:32] .
[00:24:35] On the evening of August 6th, Japanese citizens voluntarily gathered here to protest the Kishida administration
[00:24:39] , calling for an end to the export of lethal weapons , the establishment of a national intelligence agency, and other
[00:24:43] dangerous moves . The current Kishida
[00:24:46] administration makes me feel that Japan may soon move towards militarism. Therefore,
[00:24:58] I feel scared. I think the current tense relations between Japan and some Asian countries are largely related to historical issues. Since Kishida Fumio became Prime Minister, many of his actions have been frightening
[00:25:01] . Will the establishment of a national intelligence agency turn into an organization like the Special Higher Police
[00:25:05] ? This makes people worry whether Japan is going to start a war
[00:25:09] . I think trying to amend the three non-nuclear principles is absolutely unacceptable
[00:25:12] . This is Japan's consistent position and must be upheld
[00:25:16] . It is precisely because it has always adhered to the pacifist constitution that Japan has been able to avoid repeating
[00:25:50] history. Iranian parliamentary member Salimi released a draft text of the Hormuz
[00:25:54] Strait strategic management plan . The content includes
[00:25:57] that ships from the United States, Israel and other countries will be prohibited from passing through the Strait of Hormuz
[00:26:01] . Military and civilian goods related to Israel are not allowed to pass through the area
[00:26:05] . Violators will be fined up to 20% of the value of the goods
[00:26:09] . US media reported that the above plan was a document considered
[00:26:13] solely by Iran and was not part of the negotiations
[00:26:17] between Iran and Oman regarding the management of the Strait
[00:26:20] . US President Trump said on the 6th when answering media questions about US
[00:26:24] ammunition stockpiles that the US has a sufficient
[00:26:28] supply of powerful ammunition , but in some other
[00:28:27] areas, due to continuous high temperatures and drought, the water levels of many major European rivers have continued to drop. According to German
[00:28:31] media reports on the 6th:
[00:28:45] German industry will be impacted. Data from the Romanian water department showed that on the 6th, the flow of the Danube River in the country's border section dropped
[00:28:49] to about 1,400 cubic meters per second
[00:28:53] , which is the lowest level since 1985
[00:28:56] . In Austria and Hungary, the cargo capacity of some sections of the Danube River
[00:29:00] has also significantly decreased
[00:29:04] . "Lichun" is the first solar term of autumn, "Li" means
[00:29:08] beginning. At the end of the program, let's together feel the beauty of nature
[00:29:12] and cultural connotations of this season
[00:29:24] . Although autumn has begun , it is still summer
[00:29:28] . It is usually the third hottest solar term, only after Major Heat and Minor
[00:29:31] Heat. But in one night , autumn arrived
[00:29:35] . Chinese people perceive the change in temperature and the cycle of seasons
[00:29:38] . According to "Shuowen Jiezi",
[00:29:42] "Qiu" means the crops are ripe . Ten days after the beginning of autumn
[00:29:46] , the earth turns yellow . Various places have the custom of "basking autumn"
[00:29:50] in autumn . Red dates, soybeans, old pumpkins
[00:29:53] , blue sky and clear water, good homes
[00:29:56] . In our festivals, we always pay attention
[00:30:00] to food .
[00:30:40] The number of climate models are calling for the possibility of a super
[00:30:44] El Niño brewing this summer . 104 degrees, both
[00:30:48] uh France have already recorded their hottest days
[00:30:51] . The impacts of climate change
[00:30:55] are real . Communities all
[00:30:58] around the world uh...
