[00:00:35] Hello, everyone, this is CCTV News Channel
[00:00:39] at 5 AM. Welcome to this news live broadcast
[00:00:43] . The latest data from the customs shows that in the first seven months of this year,
[00:00:46] China's import and export of goods trade reached 30.13 trillion yuan,
[00:00:50] exceeding the 30 trillion yuan mark for the first time in the same period
[00:00:53] in history.
[00:00:55] According to customs statistics, in the first 7 months of this year, China's import and export of goods trade
[00:00:59] ,
[00:01:04] of which exports were 17.4 trillion yuan, an increase of 144,
[00:01:08] imports were 12.69 trillion yuan, an increase of 22%. In July,
[00:01:12] the monthly import and export reached 4.66 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of
[00:01:15] 19.2, continuing the good growth trend in the first half of the year. The scale of imports and exports
[00:01:19] exceeded 4 trillion yuan for five consecutive months. In July, China's high-tech
[00:01:23] product exports increased by more than 50%, contributing nearly 60% of the export growth,
[00:01:27] electric vehicles, lithium batteries and other green products.
[00:01:36] China actively expands its independent opening up, actively expands imports, and promotes balanced development of imports and exports . As of now, it has implemented
[00:01:40] zero-tariff policies for 63 countries, and its import scale has ranked
[00:01:44] second in the world for 17 consecutive years. In the first seven months of this
[00:01:48] was eight percentage points faster than exports, and more high-quality products
[00:01:52] from around the world entered the Chinese market, sharing China's opportunities. In the first 7 months,
[00:01:56] China's import and export with more than 180 countries and regions maintained growth.
[00:02:00] Sharing opportunities and developing together with all countries in the world, trade cooperation is more
[00:02:03] diversified and stable. As China's diversified international transport channel system continues
[00:02:07] to improve, cross-border goods transport is more convenient and efficient, and various
[00:02:11] transport methods for import and export have grown across the board. In the first seven months of this
[00:02:15] year, China's import and export by water, air,
[00:02:19] increased by 6.9%, 34.6%, 40.7%, and 17.2% respectively.
[00:02:21] 6.9%,34.6%,40.7,17.2%,
[00:02:26] The value of air and road transport import and export goods accounted for more than 40% of the increase.
[00:02:32] The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing announced on the 7th that China's
[00:02:36] warehousing index in July was 50.3, up 0.1
[00:02:39] percentage point from the previous month, operating in the expansion period for two
[00:02:43] consecutive months. Overall, the warehousing industry maintained expansion
[00:02:47] despite seasonal weather and extreme weather disturbances, and the industry's operation
[00:02:50] has strong resilience. Let's pay attention to our country's
[00:02:54] flood situation. On the morning of the 7th, the Ministry of Water Resources held a consultation
[00:02:58] to analyze and judge the national flood
[00:03:01] control situation. In the next three days, the Yongjiang and Jiaojiang Rivers may experience flash floods, and some areas
[00:03:05] in southern Hebei and eastern Shanxi need to guard against flash flood disasters.
[00:03:09] From August 7th to 9th, affected
[00:03:13] by rainfall, the Yongjiang and Jiaojiang Rivers may experience flash floods.
[00:03:17] Some small and medium-sized rivers in the heavy rain area and some stations
[00:03:20] in the river network area around Taihu Lake may experience floods exceeding the warning
[00:03:24] level. Affected by the upstream inflow, the Fuyuan section of the Heilongjiang River
[00:03:28] will exceed the warning level, as will the Songhua
[00:03:36] Recently, the office of the National Disaster Prevention and Disaster Relief Committee, the Ministry of Emergency Management,
[00:03:40] the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Water Resources and other departments held
[00:03:43] a consultation meeting. The meeting analyzed and judged the national
[00:03:47] natural disaster risk situation in August this year. The analysis believes
[00:03:51] that the seven major river basins in China are still
[00:03:54] in the main flood season. It is expected that from mid to late August,
[00:03:58] China will enter a relatively active
[00:04:43] period of typhoons, including a strong typhoon moving northward to affect northern China. According to forecasts, parts of northern Beijing, northern Hebei, western Zhejiang, southern and western Anhui, northeastern Jiangxi,
[00:04:47] eastern Hubei, and western Yunnan have a high risk of geological
[00:04:50] disasters. Western Inner Mongolia, central
[00:04:54] northwestern China, northern and eastern Xinjiang have higher temperatures
[00:04:58] and less rainfall.
[00:06:17] The committee, in conjunction with Hebei Port Group, established and integrated logistics resources across the region to provide foreign trade enterprises with one-stop services from warehousing to customs declaration,
[00:06:21] realizing one-time consignment, full-journey direct
[00:06:25] delivery, and one-bill to the end. We will continue to optimize
[00:06:29] the air-rail intermodal logistics process , improve logistics support
[00:06:32] , deepen cooperation between the two regions, and create a cross-regional
[00:06:36] collaborative investment demonstration model to provide strong transportation
[00:06:40] and logistics support for the high-quality development of the Jing-Jin-Ji region, and promote
[00:06:43] high-level development of regional opening up. In July this year,
[00:06:47] Guangdong's total social electricity consumption exceeded 100 billion kilowatt-hours,
[00:06:51] becoming the first province in the country this year to break 100 billion
[00:06:55] kilowatt-hours in a single month. The strong electricity demand reflects the resilience
[00:06:59] and vitality of the economy. Currently, the power operation in Guangdong Province is safe
[00:07:03] and orderly with sufficient supply.
[00:07:05] Reporters learned from the Guangdong Power Grid Company of China Southern Power Grid.
[00:07:09] In July this year, Guangdong's total social electricity consumption
[00:07:33] was 17.67%, maintaining a healthy growth.
[00:07:34] From January to July, the total amount was 3283.511, a year-on-year increase of 7.84%.
[00:07:42] .
[00:08:12] From January to July this year, the year-on-year growth rate reached
[00:08:15] 317.90%.
[00:08:17] Power supply departments made forward-looking arrangements and met the demand
[00:08:21] for big data computing through new substations
[00:08:25] and other means. Currently, the power operation in Guangdong Province is safe
[00:08:28] and orderly with sufficient supply.
[00:08:34] You are watching the news live broadcast
[00:08:38] . Currently, Iran and Oman are
[00:08:41] negotiating.
[00:09:02] According to Fars News Agency, a source said that according to
[00:09:05] the negotiations between Iran and Oman, during the transition period, ships
[00:09:09] will enter through the northern channel near the Iranian side, and
[00:09:13] leave through the southern channel near the Omani side. After the transition
[00:09:17] period ends, both of the above two channels will be closed, and all
[00:09:21] ships will have to pass through a new central channel. The control
[00:09:24] over the entry channel for ships belongs to Iran, while the exit
[00:09:28] channel is jointly managed by Iran and Oman. The source also
[00:09:32] denied rumors of a dispute between Iran and Oman over transit
[00:09:36] fees, saying that transit fees for ships passing through the Strait
[00:09:40] will be integrated into various service fees for unified settlement. On the same day, Fars
[00:09:43] News Agency also reported that Salimi, a member of the Iranian Parliament's Presidium,
[00:09:47] disclosed details of a draft preliminary text of Iran's proposed
[00:09:51] strategic management plan for the Strait of Hormuz, the main contents of which include
[00:09:55] that ships from the United States, Israel and other countries will be prohibited from passing through the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:09:58] military and civilian goods related to Israel will not be allowed
[00:10:02] to pass through the area, and ships or goods involved in actions against
[00:10:06] the resistance front will also be prohibited from passing, etc. According to CNN,
[00:10:10] this is a document that Iran unilaterally deliberated, and not
[00:10:14] the content of negotiations between Iran and Oman. On the 6th local
[00:10:18] time, US President Trump said that it is still not possible to say
[00:10:21] that an agreement on reopening the Strait of Hormuz has been reached.
[00:10:40] The agreement reached between Iran and Oman on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz does not involve charging transit fees. US President Trump
[00:10:44] signed two executive orders on the 6th, aimed at tightening
[00:10:48] the scope of birthright citizenship, and increasing efforts to combat
[00:10:52] so-called birth tourism. According to
[00:10:55] the text of the executive order released by the White House, the first
[00:10:59] executive order lists certain foreign nationals whose children born
[00:11:03] in the US are not eligible for birthright citizenship, such
[00:11:06] as so-called hostile foreign forces, including children of foreign terrorist organizations
[00:11:10] designated by the US government, children of foreign diplomatic personnel
[00:11:14] working in the US, children of people participating in birth tourism,
[00:11:18] and children born through commercial surrogacy in the US.
[00:11:22] The second executive order targets birth tourism, where newborns obtain
[00:11:26] US citizenship through birth tourism. The executive
[00:11:29] order states that the US Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security
[00:11:33] should take necessary actions, issue new regulations and guidelines
[00:11:37] to curb birth tourism, including refusing to issue visas
[00:11:41] to individuals who intend to give birth in the US, revoking visas of
[00:11:45] foreigners who enter or attempt to enter the US for birth tourism purposes,
[00:11:49] denying entry or repatriating foreigners who have participated
[00:11:52] or plan to participate in birth tourism. This is Trump's
[00:11:55] second attempt to restrict birthright citizenship during his second
[00:11:59] presidential term. Trump signed an executive order
[00:12:03] after returning to the White House in January 2025,
[00:12:06] stipulating that newborns whose parents are neither US citizens nor legal
[00:12:10] permanent residents cannot automatically obtain US citizenship. On June
[00:12:14] 30th this year, the US Supreme Court ruled to overturn this
[00:12:17] executive order. US media reported that Trump's latest
[00:12:20] executive order is also very likely to be challenged in court.
[00:12:24] Because
[00:12:55] after the joint intervention in the foreign exchange market, the Japanese yen exchange rate once
[00:12:58] rose to 1 US dollar for 155.22 Japanese yen
[00:13:02] on the 3rd. Before the joint intervention, in late July,
[00:13:06] the Japanese yen exchange rate once approached 1 US dollar
[00:13:09] for 164 Japanese yen. Bloomberg reported that the Japanese yen had fallen
[00:13:13] by nearly half of its gains after the joint intervention. The report
[00:13:17] said that this decline highlights the limitations of intervention measures
[00:13:21] in reversing the long-term decline of the Japanese yen. The huge interest
[00:13:50] spread between Japan and the US. The US involvement enhanced the symbolic significance of the intervention, increasing the risk for speculators to continue unilaterally shorting the yen. However, if Japan's
[00:13:54] fiscal policy and central bank interest rate policy do not change,
[00:13:58] it will be difficult for the Japanese yen to gain sustained
[00:14:01] support. On the 7th, Japan's Ministry of Finance announced
[00:14:05] the exchange rate intervention situation from April to June this year. Japan
[00:14:09] implemented three Japanese yen exchange rate interventions in the second quarter,
[00:14:13] on April 30th, May 4th, and May 6th, respectively,
[00:14:16] buying Japanese yen and selling US dollars, with a cumulative
[00:14:20] intervention scale of 11.73 trillion Japanese yen. After the intervention,
[00:14:23] the Japanese yen exchange rate once
[00:14:28] data released by Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries on the 7th
[00:14:32] showed that the food self-sufficiency rate of Japan, calculated by calories,
[00:14:36] for the fiscal year 2025 and from April 2025 to March 2026,
[00:14:40] decreased by one percentage point to 37%,
[00:14:42] a historical low. Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries stated
[00:14:46] that the decrease in rice consumption is an important reason for the decline
[00:14:50] in the food self-sufficiency rate. Japan's rice consumption has long primarily
[00:14:54] relied on domestic supply. Rising rice prices have led to a decrease
[00:14:58] in residents' rice consumption, and the supply of domestic rice has subsequently
[00:15:02] decreased, significantly lowering Japan's overall food self-sufficiency
[00:15:05] rate. Now let's turn our attention to Mexico. On the 5th, the US government suspended
[00:15:09] the activities of US personnel in Michoacán, Mexico,
[00:15:13] citing threats to US interests. This includes the inspection work
[00:15:17] required for avocado exports, which was also halted, forcing
[00:15:21] a temporary cessation of exports. Mexico supplies 80%
[00:15:25] of the avocados imported by the US, and Michoacán is known as the avocado
[00:15:29] capital of the world. The US move has left local avocado growers
[00:15:33] worried. The
[00:15:35] US Embassy in Mexico did not elaborate on the specific nature
[00:15:39] of the so-called threats to US interests in its security alert.
[00:15:43] However, the governor of Michoacán, Bedolla, stated that there
[00:15:47] had been several arrests related to extortion, and that the suspension
[00:15:51] of related work was a precautionary measure taken by the US.
[00:15:54] He emphasized that the local government is maintaining close
[00:15:58] communication with the security department of the US Embassy in Mexico,
[00:16:02] hoping that the inspection work required for avocado exports can
[00:16:06] be resumed as soon as possible. Mexican
[00:16:54] President de familias afectadas en este momento y
[00:16:58] preocupadas que dependen de la industria aguacatera de saber qué es lo que
[00:17:01] va pasar o qué vamos hacer y pues imagínense tan
[00:17:05] solamente si nos
[00:17:11] The U.S. diplomatic mission stated that Michoacán remains a Level 4 travel
[00:17:15] advisory area, corresponding to "Do Not Travel" advice. This
[00:17:19] is the highest risk level issued by the U.S. State Department.
[00:17:23] This is not the first time avocado inspections in the state
[00:17:26] have been interrupted due to security issues. Similar situations occurred in 2022 and
[00:17:30] 2024. It is currently unclear when inspections and shipments
[00:17:33] will resume.
[00:17:37] The industry alone created 200,000 jobs in Michoacán.
[00:17:41] In 2025, Mexico exported avocados worth
[00:17:45] $3.65 billion to the United States. In the first four months of this
[00:17:49] year, exports of this product increased by 35%
[00:17:52] compared to the same period last year. This is the end of this
