[00:00:39] Hello everyone, this is CCTV News Channel at 11 am. Welcome to this news live broadcast. [00:00:43] The spokesperson for the Southern Theater Command, Colonel Zhai Shichen, [00:00:46] stated that from August 21st to 25th, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Southern Theater Command [00:00:50] organized air and sea forces to conduct patrols in the South China Sea. [00:00:54] The Philippines has been pulling in countries outside the region to conduct so-called joint patrols in the South [00:00:58] China Sea, undermining regional peace and stability. [00:01:02] The troops of the theater command will resolutely defend national territorial sovereignty and maritime [00:01:06] rights and interests, and firmly maintain regional peace and stability. [00:01:10] The State Council Information Office held a series of themed press conferences [00:01:13] this morning. Relevant officials from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated at the press conference [00:01:16] that as of now, many application scenarios of artificial intelligence have vividly emerged, and nearly [00:01:20] 200 key artificial intelligence standards have been successfully implemented. The news live broadcast [00:01:24] room will closely follow more news from this press conference. [00:01:28] The State Council Information Office held a press conference yesterday. The Ministry of Commerce introduced [00:01:32] that the 26th China International Investment and Trade Fair [00:01:35] will be held in Xiamen, Fujian from September 8th to 11th. [00:01:39] During the 26th China International Investment and Trade Fair, [00:01:43] a series of "Invest in China" activities will be held to communicate policy trends, [00:01:46] promote industrial docking, and enhance the "Invest in China" brand. [00:01:50] The voting will be "Invest in China." More than half of them are located in the mountains [00:01:54] of Tibet, with complex geological structures and changing climates, making construction extremely difficult. One-third of our entire project is in Tibet, [00:01:58] and all of it is above 3,000 meters. [00:02:49] It has been in the northern Gulf for many days, and landed on the coast of Changjiang County, Hainan yesterday evening. It made landfall again [00:02:53] on the coast of Xuwen County, Guangdong this morning. At the same time as it brought heavy rainfall, [00:02:57] Typhoon Saudel, the 18th typhoon of this year, entered the East China Sea this morning. [00:03:50] It is expected that Saudel will gradually approach the coast of Fujian. Where will [00:03:54] Typhoon Saudel make landfall in the future? How will the two typhoons develop? What areas will they bring strong winds [00:03:58] and impacts to? Let's take a look. We will now connect to Liu Lulu, a reporter from CCTV at the Central Meteorological [00:04:02] Observatory's weather meeting room. Okay, anchor, I am currently at the Central Meteorological [00:04:06] Observatory's weather meeting room. We will enter a 24-hour alert [00:04:10] line. The Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a red typhoon warning this morning. [00:04:13] For specific information about Saudel and the impact of the typhoon on our country's wind [00:04:17] and rain, we have invited the chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory. [00:04:18] It made landfall with a force of [00:04:26] eight-level winds. It weakened into a tropical depression at 5 o'clock [00:05:00] in the morning. We see that the tropical depression that weakened is currently located about [00:05:04] 75 kilometers southwest of Maoming, Guangdong, at 8 o'clock. [00:05:08] Affected by the combined effects of the tropical depression and the typhoon, [00:05:11] from yesterday to today, [00:05:42] Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan experienced [00:05:45] heavy rainfall. The maximum hourly rainfall occurred in [00:05:49] Pingtung County, Taiwan Province, with 11 millimeters. In addition, [00:05:53] affected by the combined effects of the tropical depression and Saudel, [00:05:57] the coastal areas from East China to South China also experienced strong winds of six to eight levels, with a maximum wind speed [00:06:01] of 11 levels. At 10 o'clock this morning, the Central Meteorological Observatory [00:06:04] continued to issue a red typhoon warning. We predict that Saudel will move [00:06:08] northwestward at a speed of about 15 kilometers per hour. [00:06:12] The intensity will not change much. It will turn southwestward [00:06:16] from the morning of the 27th. Among them, the southeast [00:06:20] and northeast of Zhejiang will experience torrential rains. The cumulative rainfall in these areas will be... [00:06:24] The National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center issued a red alert for coastal waves. [00:06:27] Currently, Typhoon Saudel is continuing to approach the eastern coast of our country, [00:06:31] reminding ships operating in relevant sea areas to return to port. Affected by Typhoon Saudel, Ningde, [00:06:35] Fujian has been continuously raining since yesterday. The local government activated a [00:06:39] Level 4 typhoon emergency response yesterday, and maintained a Level 3 flood [00:08:07] control emergency response. What is the local weather situation currently? [00:08:10] According to the requirements of the typhoon, all personnel [00:09:26] on the fish farm must complete evacuation before 12:00 noon today. [00:09:29] Let's take a look at [00:09:35] the net cage next to me. It is a square net cage [00:09:38] of 5 by 5 meters, and its material is plastic. [00:10:12] Compared with the previous wooden net cage, its wind and wave resistance performance [00:10:16] will be better. Considering the severity of this typhoon, these net cage [00:10:20] farmers have already connected all 190 odd net cages [00:10:24] with ropes to enhance [00:10:58] their wind resistance. Now, everyone can see that the staff [00:11:02] are carefully checking all the net cages. [00:11:06] The primary task is to check the connection between the rope and the net cage, [00:11:10] to see if the rope is damaged or loose. [00:11:14] At the same time, all the ropes must be collected and tightened. [00:11:18] In this way, the force exerted on the entire fish farm will be more [00:11:22] even. The second thing to focus on is the underwater [00:11:25] fishing net. As you can see, because the fishing net has been [00:11:29] immersed in seawater for a long time, it is easy for some weeds [00:11:33] and even some shells to appear on it. If the wind and waves on the sea [00:11:37] strengthen, this old or damaged net may further tear, causing [00:11:40] the fish to escape. So, you can see that [00:11:44] there are staff members pulling up the net to carefully check [00:11:48] and replace the damaged net in time. At the same time, you can also see [00:11:52] some to prevent it from spinning too fast in the wind and causing [00:11:55] damage. At the same time, you can also see that the fishermen are using [00:11:59] a tugboat and thick ropes to move the offshore houses [00:12:03] to a sheltered area for safety. We are located [00:12:07] with three reservoirs whose water levels have risen sharply. According to relevant flood control requirements, the three reservoirs [00:12:11] have opened their gates to discharge floods. It is expected that the water level will drop below the flood control level [00:12:15] tonight. Since the rain has not stopped, relevant departments have launched [00:12:18] an emergency response to conduct safety inspections of all 11 reservoirs in the city. [00:12:22] Currently, the wind and waves on the sea are gradually increasing. To ensure safety, [00:13:11] all coastal police districts and points have been closed. [00:13:15] Staff members have placed warning signs and pulled up warning lines in key coastal areas, [00:13:19] and have dispatched more personnel to persuade the public to leave. [00:13:22] Yesterday, Longyan City, Fujian [00:14:04] experienced continuous heavy rainfall. Many low-lying sections of roads in the urban area and residential areas [00:14:08] were severely waterlogged, and many people were trapped. Fire and rescue personnel urgently [00:14:11] transferred the trapped public. In a residential area in Xinluo District, Longyan City, [00:14:15] Fujian, continuous rainfall caused widespread waterlogging. An elderly person [00:14:19] was trapped in the house due to mobility issues. After receiving the alarm, firefighters quickly [00:14:23] responded. In response to Typhoon Saudel, the 18th typhoon of this year, [00:14:27] the Zhejiang Provincial Flood Control, Typhoon and Drought Relief Headquarters raised the typhoon [00:14:30] emergency response to Level 3 at 8 p.m. last night, requiring all localities and departments [00:14:34] to closely monitor the development and changes of the typhoon, and further improve monitoring, [00:14:38] forecasting, early warning, risk assessment and control, personnel evacuation and other [00:14:41] work, to effectively ensure the safety of people's lives and property. [00:14:45] The meteorological department forecast that from tonight onwards, the wind force [00:14:49] on the central and southern coastal waters of Zhejiang Province will gradually increase to above Level 9, [00:14:53] and coastal areas will experience heavy [00:15:38] rain. The Canadian federal government announced [00:15:42] on the 25th that it will impose retaliatory tariffs on more than 700 [00:15:45] types of American goods worth 27.6 billion Canadian dollars, or about 20 billion [00:15:49] US dollars. At the same time, it launched a 7.5 billion Canadian [00:15:53] dollar aid plan for businesses and workers. Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau [00:15:57] stated on the 25th that the total value of American goods affected by the retaliatory [00:16:00] tariffs is equivalent to the 50% tariffs imposed by the United States on Canada. [00:16:04] This achieves equivalent retaliation. Canada's tariff retaliation measures will [00:18:38] officially take effect on September 8th. According to the list of retaliatory tariffs [00:18:42] released by the Canadian Ministry of Finance, the retaliatory tariffs mainly focus on steel, [00:18:46] dairy products, home appliances, and agricultural equipment, with tax rates [00:18:50] of 15%, 25%, and 50%. [00:18:52] Among them, most steel products imported from the United [00:18:56] States will see tariffs increase from 25% to 50%. [00:19:00] Dairy products such as milk and seafood will be subject to [00:19:03] a 125% tariff. In addition to retaliatory tariffs, the Canadian government also announced [00:19:07] a 7.5 billion Canadian dollar aid plan, focusing on supporting small and medium-sized [00:19:11] enterprises affected by the trade war, providing investment and liquidity [00:19:15] support to businesses. In terms of labor protection, the government will help [00:19:19] businesses avoid layoffs, allowing more employees to upgrade their skills [00:19:22] or receive retraining, and at the same time increase the flexibility of unemployment [00:19:25] insurance benefits. U.S.-Canada trade talks. Let's look at the observations [00:19:29] reported by CCTV reporters from the United States. Analysis believes that this North American [00:19:32] trade war will quickly escalate from a policy dispute into a huge [00:19:35] shock to the real economy. In fact, compared to the cold macroeconomic [00:19:39] data, in several border states between the United States and Canada, [00:19:43] industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and supply chains will successively bear [00:19:46] the most direct impact. The most severe impact will actually be [00:19:50] seen in. In Minnesota, local powerful industries, [00:19:54] industrial machinery, and agricultural equipment are all highly dependent on Canadian raw materials [00:19:58] and electricity imports. In another border state, Maine, due to high tariffs, [00:20:02] the traffic flow at the nearby border will sharply decline. Then, the local [00:20:06] lumber processing plants will be forced [00:21:02] to cut production. A large number of small and medium-sized enterprises will directly [00:21:05] face. The plight of these border states actually [00:21:09] confirms some conclusions of authoritative US think tanks. Data from the Peterson [00:21:13] Institute for International Economics and the Tax Foundation indicate [00:21:17] that the deep binding of the industrial chains between the US and Canada [00:22:09] for over a hundred years has led to US importers and local [00:22:13] consumers ultimately bearing nearly 90% of the pressure from [00:22:17] rising tariff costs. So, tariffs have failed to [00:22:29] protect domestic industries, but instead have evolved into an implicit punishment [00:22:33] for US border states, businesses, and residents. It is estimated [00:22:37] that the average American family will face an additional living [00:22:41] expense of about 840 to 900 US dollars per year. [00:22:44] Under the US's increasing pressure of tariffs and other means, [00:22:48] Canada has chosen to retaliate in kind, imposing retaliatory tariffs on about [00:22:52] 20 billion US dollars worth of American goods. So, under US pressure, [00:22:55] why did Canada choose to take a tough stance against the United States? [00:22:59] Let's listen to the analysis and interpretation of our special commentator, Su Xiaohui. [00:23:03] Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau chose to stand firm against US President [00:23:06] Donald Trump's constant pressure. Trudeau's confidence stems precisely [00:23:10] from the fact that Trump's increasing pressure has already created a huge [00:23:14] effect within Canada. Public opinion supports the government withdrawing from negotiations [00:23:18] with the US and rejecting higher [00:23:20] demands from the US, while various political parties support the government maintaining a tough [00:23:24] stance towards the US. Therefore, at this time, Trudeau sees a greater [00:23:28] possibility of further promoting diversified cooperation and reducing reliance on the US, [00:23:32] and then facing US pressure later. At the same time, Canada has [00:23:36] no room to retreat in terms of national sovereignty and dignity. [00:23:40] In 2025, Canada experienced political turmoil. Trudeau's predecessor [00:23:44] was forced to step down, and Trudeau himself led the Liberal Party to victory again. [00:23:48] In such a changing situation, [00:23:55] a significant variable was, of course, the external impact brought by US President [00:23:59] Trump. When Trump repeatedly claimed that Canada should become the [00:24:03] 51st state of the United States, this severely hurt the dignity of [00:24:06] the Canadian people and caused public doubts about whether the government [00:24:10] could maintain its sovereignty. Therefore, Trudeau gained public [00:24:14] support by demonstrating his determination and will to fight, and will [00:24:18] continue to maintain his stance and negotiate with the United States. [00:24:22] At the same time, for Trudeau, he saw that if Canada's foreign [00:24:25] strategy was imbalanced, it would incur greater backlash. Currently, between [00:24:29] the US and Canada in this tariff trade war, the US is still [00:24:33] exerting pressure. If Canada compromises, it could lead to... [00:24:37] According to experts, the new tariffs will have little short-term impact [00:24:41] on Canada, but if they persist in the long term, Canada will lose [00:24:44] tens of thousands of jobs, and inflation will rise. For the United States, [00:24:48] the new tariffs will increase [00:26:09] the operating costs of American households and businesses, exacerbating [00:26:12] inflation. Some analysts believe that trade [00:26:16] frictions between the two countries have played out many times, and it [00:26:20] is expected that both sides will resume trade negotiations or push for [00:26:24] some kind of agreement due to their respective economic impacts. [00:26:28] Second, there is political maneuvering. Currently, it is generally believed [00:26:31] that the Trump administration will bear greater political pressure. [00:26:35] On the Canadian side, trade countermeasures against the US have overwhelming domestic [00:26:39] political support, receiving widespread support from all political parties, [00:26:43] including the opposition. More than 70% of the public supports withdrawing [00:26:47] from trade negotiations. For Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, being tough [00:26:50] on the US significantly boosted his approval rating. The US's [00:26:54] imposition of new tariffs on Canada was opposed by most people [00:26:58] in the business community. Opponents included not only Democrats, but also many [00:27:02] Republican lawmakers and governors who were worried about losing in the [00:27:06] November midterm elections. The British Economist article pointed out that [00:27:09] as the US midterm elections approach, the impact of new tariffs will [00:27:13] further reflect in US inflation, business operations, and employment pressure. [00:27:17] Trudeau's strategy is to turn these issues into a wave of domestic [00:27:21] political shock in the US, ultimately forcing the Trump administration [00:27:25] back to the negotiating table. Finally, there is the contest of [00:27:29] influence and who controls the leadership of the negotiations? [00:27:32] First, there is internal confusion in the US negotiating team's leadership. [00:27:36] Trudeau stated after the breakdown of negotiations that the US government's attitude [00:27:40] was not unified, implying that the Canadian side received conflicting, or even contradictory, [00:27:44] information from US Trade Representative Lighthizer and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. [00:27:48] Second, the US seeks to dominate the agenda. [00:27:51] It faces increasing resistance. Trudeau said that the US tried to [00:27:55] limit Canada's ability to conclude trade agreements independently with other [00:27:59] countries, but Canada stated that any agreement reached with the US [00:28:03] must not limit its ability in this regard. Analysts believe [00:28:07] that the US often seeks to achieve long-arm jurisdiction [00:28:11] in trade by requiring restrictions on cooperation with third parties, [00:28:15] but more and more trading partners are becoming highly vigilant [00:28:19] about this US practice. As the trade conflict between the [00:28:23] United States and Canada continues to escalate, US President Donald Trump announced [00:28:27] on the 25th that he was considering renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake [00:28:31] America." Trump stated on social media that day that the United [00:28:35] States was seriously considering renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America" [00:28:38] because the United States did not expect to have much business [00:28:42] dealings with Ontario, Canada, in the future. Lake Ontario is [00:28:46] one of the five Great Lakes in North America, located at the [00:28:50] border between the United States and Canada. The lake area borders Ontario, Canada, [00:28:54] to the north and New York State, USA, to the south. [00:28:58] They are outright destroyers of cross-strait peace and creators of the Taiwan Strait crisis. Zhang Han pointed out that he warns [00:29:02] Lai Ching-te and the DPP [00:29:39] authorities that the great cause of unification is irresistible, and seeking independence [00:29:42] through force will accelerate their demise. He hopes that the vast [00:29:46] majority of Taiwan compatriots will join us in resolutely opposing Taiwan independence [00:29:50] and separatism, and take practical actions to safeguard their own [00:29:54] safety, happiness, and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. [00:29:57] Let's continue to pay attention to the press conference held by the State [00:30:01] Council Information Office this morning. [00:30:32] increased to 34.7 trillion yuan, but the proportion of GDP remained [00:30:36] at around 25%. Vigorously develop advanced manufacturing, [00:30:40] and continuously promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. [00:30:44] Deepen and promote the special action of artificial intelligence and [00:30:47] manufacturing. Accelerate the comprehensive [00:30:50] and chain-wide popularization and application of a new generation of information [00:30:54] technology, and promote the digital and green and low-carbon transformation [00:30:57] of the manufacturing industry. The person in charge of the Ministry [00:31:01] of Industry and Information Technology stated that during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, [00:31:05] we will promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial [00:31:08] innovation, strengthen the construction of public technical service platforms and medium-sized [00:31:12] platforms, and promote the acceleration of original technologies. [00:31:41] The recent movie "Welcome to Long Restaurant" tells the story of Chinese people opening restaurants overseas, but unlike the personal struggles of the movie's protagonist Xu Fu, domestic catering enterprises are now going overseas in groups. In Singapore's core business district, [00:31:45] Orchard Road, entering a large shopping mall, Chinese chain [00:31:49] catering brands are everywhere. The reporter counted [00:31:53] more than ten, including tea, spicy hot pot, sauerkraut fish, noodles, [00:31:56] and dumplings. Familiar brands in domestic shopping malls [00:32:00] are all here. The stores are also very popular. The reporter also [00:32:04] encountered a pet flash mob event organized by a Chinese [00:32:07] milk tea shop, which attracted many local residents. I have already [00:32:11] brought my dog here to play for the second time. I know [00:33:12] this is. In addition to milk tea, Chinese water [00:33:16] and other products have also accelerated their entry into the international market. [00:33:19] Data shows that as of August 2025, [00:33:23] 85 Chinese catering brands have entered Singapore, [00:33:26] opening 405 stores, of which more than 40% [00:33:30] are located in communities. Although Chinese catering brands [00:33:33] are now blooming globally, many years ago, Chinese food going [00:33:37] overseas mainly relied on the skills of chefs, and inconsistent tastes often led to [00:33:40] acclimatization problems. So how do Chinese food brands succeed [00:33:44] overseas now? [00:34:31] It will not be affected by the level of local chefs and franchisees. After locking in the Chinese flavor, we will make regional micro adjustments. For example, in some Southeast Asian countries, [00:34:34] we have added Tom Yum [00:34:40] Kung flavor. From adding ingredients to serving, including how to match the seasonings, it's all recorded. [00:34:44] So that our overseas staff can learn how to make mala and how to prepare it. [00:35:01] Breaking through in dozens of countries. [00:35:06] Many viewers who watched "Welcome to Long Restaurant" [00:35:45] were touched by the plot of eating well no matter when or [00:35:47] where. Nowadays, overseas Chinese restaurants not only provide delicious food, but also [00:35:51] become new scenes for experiencing Chinese life. [00:35:55] Walking into this hot pot restaurant, the lively decor, [00:35:59] and hot, smoky atmosphere are full of rich Chinese flavor. [00:36:02] Blue lobster with beef. [00:36:04] Tasnim News Agency of Iran reported that sources said Iran [00:36:08] on the 24th had clearly stated its position to Pakistan's [00:36:10] Chief of Army Staff Munir [00:36:13] during his visit. [00:38:11] The conditions proposed by Iran include the United States complying with previous [00:38:14] agreements, including arrangements for Iran's management [00:38:18] of the Strait of Hormuz. Sources said Pakistan is seeking to convey [00:38:22] the above conditions to the United States. According to several Pakistani sources, [00:38:26] US President Trump had a phone [00:38:42] conversation with Munir before he set off for Iran, hoping [00:38:45] Pakistan would use its influence to persuade Iran to return [00:38:49] to the negotiating table. The Iranian Presidential Office stated [00:38:53] on the 24th that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said during his [00:38:57] meeting with Munir that the United States should change its rhetoric and actions [00:39:01] when dealing with Iran, and relying on power and hegemony will [00:39:05] only complicate the process. Pakistan announced on the 25th [00:39:09] that Pakistani Army Chief of Staff Munir and Interior Minister [00:39:12] Naqvi concluded their one-day visit to Iran. [00:39:16] Naqvi said that day that the meeting between the Pakistani [00:39:20] side and the Iranian president was fruitful. During the visit, [00:39:24] the two sides discussed security. US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced [00:40:33] on the 24th that the US launched a new round of sanctions [00:40:37] against Iran's economic isolation that day. The US claimed that the new [00:40:41] round of sanctions against Iran was aimed at cutting off Iran's [00:40:44] financial sources and isolating Iran. In response, Iranian energy [00:40:48] sector experts said that US sanctions are a hegemony against other countries, [00:40:52] and people all over the world will pay for its irresponsible [00:40:56] behavior. [00:40:58] Regarding the energy sector, which is the focus of US sanctions, Iranian energy sector [00:41:02] expert Ali Karimi pointed out that Iran's oil and natural [00:41:06] gas reserves rank among the top in the world. Therefore, [00:41:10] Iran can ensure a stable supply of domestic energy. [00:41:13] However, if the United States excludes Iran from the world energy [00:41:17] market through sanctions, the result will be reversed, affecting many [00:41:21] countries, including European countries. When you remove Iranian oil, [00:41:25] it must be produced from another point or replaced. When [00:41:29] it is not replaced, the cost of gas and oil in the world [00:41:32] increases, and the cost of this behavior is paid by [00:41:36] all the people of the world, and if no other [00:41:40] behavior happens, for example, let's assume Iran does not allow [00:41:43] its oil to pass through the تنگه or [00:41:47] LPG to pass through the تنگه, the cost [00:41:50] of gas, oil, and low fuels in Europe and [00:41:54] other places will increase. Unilateral actions currently bring. [00:42:40] Mhran became, but in any case, [00:42:43] we are among the best producers of gasoline [00:42:46] in the world, but if we have suffered some damage due to [00:42:50] the war or the same thing has happened to us in petrochemical [00:42:54] products, we can compensate for some of it, and [00:42:57] Iran has shown that at least after [00:43:00] these recent events, they should, in my opinion, [00:43:04] shorten or set aside [00:43:05] or interact towards [00:43:10] dialogue and interaction. on the 25th, Russia has repeatedly [00:43:14] stated that the deployment of troops by NATO countries on Ukrainian [00:43:17] territory is unacceptable to Russia. Peskov said that it is [00:43:21] not the first time that there have been rumors of NATO intending [00:43:25] to deploy troops in Ukraine. Although the accompanying condition this [00:43:28] time is after the conflict ends, Russia has repeatedly reiterated its position [00:43:32] at various levels. The deployment of NATO country troops is unacceptable [00:43:36] to Russia. He said that Western politicians continue to treat [00:43:56] Russia with an aggressive and warmongering attitude. In this situation, [00:44:00] a village in Aude, southern France, was hit by a [00:44:04] tornado on the 24th. According to French media reports, [00:44:06] the tornado caused 41 injuries [00:44:09] and damaged about 300 homes. The Aude prefectural government announced [00:44:13] that day that the village has a population of about one thousand people. [00:44:16] The tornado caused some house roofs to be blown off. [00:44:20] Affected by the fallen trees, many provincial roads were cut off. [00:44:24] Power outages occurred in many areas of Aude. As of [00:44:28] early morning on the 25th local time, about 1,400 households [00:44:31] were without power. Two temporary shelters have been opened in [00:44:35] the area. Currently, over 120 emergency personnel are on site [00:44:37] carrying out rescue and safety [00:44:40] inspection work. And so I got a tile and five [00:44:44] stitches, so you're in the hospital, I went to the hospital, [00:44:48] that's it, yesterday and I came back at 11pm, with [00:44:51] a lot of people, it's a disaster, he's [00:44:54] less fortunate than me, but it's still it's still, [00:45:09] well, it's painful. France has been [00:45:55] hit by storms for many days, with 20 southern [00:45:59] provinces under storm warnings. French Transport Minister Bar [00:46:03] Bi landed on the coast of Changjiang County, Hainan yesterday evening and then on the coast of Xuwen County, Guangdong this morning. The news live broadcast will continue [00:46:07] to follow the wind and rain impacts brought by this event. [00:46:31] In May this year, Yin Yuzhen, who has been fighting desertification [00:46:35] and planting trees in the Mu Us Desert, found an American named Koksi. [00:46:39] What kind of agreement is hidden behind this? Let's take a look. On August 23rd, Yin Yuzhen met Koksi from the other side of the ocean at the Ordos Ejina Horo Airport. Their story [00:46:43] begins in the depths of the sandstorms. Yin Yuzhen, [00:46:47] 60 years old this year, has been fighting desertification [00:46:50] and planting trees in the Mu [00:46:58] Us Sandy Land for 41 years. [00:47:00] In 1985, at the age of [00:47:02] 19, he came from Shaanxi. [00:47:06] At that time, this place was barren and lifeless. [00:47:10] When a wind came, I couldn't even find my way home. [00:48:14] Yin Yuzhen wanted to control the desert. At that time, he and his husband invested everything. [00:48:18] This perseverance allowed their story to spread beyond the desert, including in 1999. [00:48:22] He saw Yin Yuzhen's story in a [00:49:02] CCTV report. [00:49:07] He raised 500 dollars to help Yin Yuzhen plant trees. [00:49:13] This 5,000 dollars was the first large sum Yin Yuzhen received. [00:49:13] He kept one dollar as a souvenir, and bought all the rest of the saplings. [00:49:23] In 2000, Rox first came to Maowusu and met Yin, and also went to his tree nursery to check. At that time, the two could not [00:49:26] communicate. Yin Yuzhen remembered his name by pronunciation, Koksi. [00:49:30] Although the name was wrong, Yin Yuzhen regarded this agreement [00:49:34] as a promise that crossed mountains and seas. [00:49:38] After that meeting, the two lost contact. [00:49:41] For the next 20 years, Yin Yuzhen and her family stayed [00:49:45] in the desert, planting trees day after day. Today, this place [00:49:49] is a vibrant oasis. In May this year, [00:49:55] she recorded a video of searching for people, looking for [00:49:59] distant relatives for the oasis. The video quickly [00:50:02] swept the entire network, and countless people forwarded it. [00:50:06] Hello, Koksi. If you can see [00:50:10] this video, I also sincerely invite you to return to China [00:50:14] and see the efforts you made with the dollars [00:50:17] you supported back then that made this green. Just 26 hours [00:50:21] after the video was released, [00:51:42] a response came from the other side of the ocean. [00:51:46] The two old friends hugged [00:51:47] each other tightly. The 26-year [00:51:54] wait finally came to an end. [00:51:56] The two people, [00:52:00] first of all, both did this good deed out of kindness. [00:52:03] The things the two people did were [00:52:35] different, but their goals were the same. So, in this matter, [00:52:38] 'I saw pictures, I [00:52:42] was told all about it, but until you [00:52:44] see it is when you realize that [00:52:48] it's real, that it's real, people aren't just telling [00:52:52] you stories, you [00:52:56] can touch it, I mean [00:53:17] it, I touch the tree, [00:53:21] Over 20 years have passed, and the saplings pointed out back then have grown into large trees. In every planting of trees, [00:53:25] what is planted is not just saplings, but also a deep [00:53:28] friendship that transcends mountains, seas, and national borders, [00:53:32] and spans across the long river of time. [00:54:06] In 2000, Yin Yuzhen and her husband and Koksi [00:54:10] held a sapling and left a photo on the sandy [00:54:14] land. 26 years [00:54:18] later, $5,000 was the first [00:54:21] large sum Yin Yuzhen received. On her journey of [00:54:25] desertification control, many others also lent a helping [00:54:29] hand. Over 41 years, she has successively received support [00:54:33] from various government departments and social forces, cumulatively [00:54:36] afforesting over 70,000 mu [00:54:41] and planting over 8 million trees. Yin Yuzhen's [00:54:45] story is just one point on the map of desertification [00:54:49] control in the Mu Us Sandy Land. In the 1950s, [00:54:52] in 1978, China's Three-North Shelterbelt Program was launched. [00:54:55] After decades of management, the overall forest coverage rate [00:54:59] and vegetation coverage rate have increased from 2.6% [00:55:02] and 18% to [00:56:05] 32.92% and 85%. [00:56:08] The total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, [00:56:12] and fishery industries reached 4.82 billion yuan, achieving [00:56:16] a transformation from desert advance to human retreat. [00:56:20] Her son has already started planting trees with drones. She [00:56:24] still has many stories she hasn't had time to tell. [00:56:27] The time they spent together was short, but their affection [00:56:31] is long, and the story of desertification control will continue. [00:57:21] Let's continue to pay attention to the series of themed press conferences [00:57:24] held by the State Council Information [00:57:26] Office this morning. The relevant [00:57:31] person in charge of the Ministry of Industry [00:57:32] and Information Technology stated that since the [00:57:38] 14th Five-Year Plan, the popularization rate of artificial intelligence technology [00:57:42] in manufacturing enterprises above designated size has exceeded 30%, [00:57:45] and a cumulative number of facilities have been built.
