[00:00:36] Hello, audience friends. This is CCTV News Channel at 2:00 AM. Welcome
[00:00:40] to this news live broadcast. The Ministry of Commerce
[00:00:44] held a press conference on the 17th. News spokesman He Yadong
[00:00:48] responded to questions about the US-China bilateral tariff reduction arrangement
[00:00:52] of 30 billion US dollars
[00:00:53] .
[00:00:56] Currently, the US-China economic and trade teams are discussing related issues.
[00:01:06] Recently, European Commission President von der Leyen published her 2026 State of the Union address,
[00:01:10] making statements such as "China Shock 2.0".
[00:01:14] In response, the Ministry of Commerce spokesperson responded at a regular press conference
[00:01:17] .
[00:01:21] China has taken note of the situation. I want to
[00:01:25] emphasize here that China's position and attitude
[00:01:28] are consistent. Clear.
[00:01:32] At the same time, we do not engage in microphone diplomacy, nor
[00:01:36] do we engage in verbal sparring.
[00:01:39] At the press conference, spokesman He Yadong also responded to the public procurement
[00:01:43] law legislative draft recently published by the European Commission
[00:01:46] .
[00:01:49] China has taken note of the public procurement law
[00:01:53] legislative draft published by the European Commission. This draft sets out European
[00:01:56] preferential clauses. It also requires
[00:02:04] non-market factors such as safety to be included in industry standards, excluding or restricting non-compliant
[00:02:07] third-country enterprises. China is highly concerned
[00:02:11] about this. In recent years, the EU has
[00:02:15] continuously introduced cybersecurity law revision proposals, industrial acceleration
[00:02:18] period bills, and public procurement bills. In the name of
[00:02:22] cybersecurity and industrial development, it has supported
[00:02:26] protectionism and frequently set up obstacles.
[00:02:36] China urges the European side to abide by trade
[00:02:40] rules, keep the market open
[00:02:42] , revise the discriminatory clauses in
[00:02:46] the bill, and create a fair
[00:02:50] , transparent, and non-discriminatory business environment
[00:02:54] for enterprises investing and operating in Europe. China will
[00:02:57] closely monitor the European side's legislative process.
[00:03:23] This is the first document signed by China with international organizations in the Netherlands regarding the implementation of the Global
[00:03:27] Governance Initiative. It also marks a significant
[00:03:31] progress in China's efforts to promote the implementation of the initiative
[00:03:34] internationally, one year after President Xi Jinping
[00:03:38] proposed the Global Governance Initiative .
[00:03:40] 。
[00:03:42] Liang Jiebei Wang Lu emphasized the great significance of President Xi Jinping's Global Governance Initiative,
[00:03:46] stating that both sides will cooperate
[00:03:50] in a manner consistent with the five core principles of the Global Governance Initiative,
[00:03:54] promote the implementation of the initiative in the field of international law,
[00:03:57] strengthen exchanges and cooperation on the formulation and implementation of international
[00:04:01] conventions, and enhance countries' understanding of global governance. The
[00:04:05] cooperation between the two sides is the latest measure to further promote the implementation
[00:04:09] of the Global Governance Initiative, demonstrating that joint consultation, joint construction,
[00:04:13] and shared benefits are the common aspiration, multilateralism is a common
[00:04:17] consensus, and building a more just and reasonable global governance
[00:04:21] system is a common
[00:04:21] expectation.
[00:04:26] I once wrote to the Chinese ambassador to express my appreciation for this initiative.
[00:04:30] Because this initiative has many commonalities with the work of the Hague Conference on Private International Law,
[00:04:34] such as allowing more countries to participate in global governance
[00:04:38] on the basis of sovereign equality, and jointly formulate effective
[00:04:41] and practical rules. We respect the differences between different countries
[00:04:45] and different legal systems, but at the same time, we also need to connect
[00:04:49] these legal systems to each other. This is not to impose a unilateral
[00:04:53] solution on other countries, but to build a bridge that can
[00:04:56] span different legal systems. China has rich experience, and we can
[00:05:24] Private international law refers to the general term for legal rules that resolve civil and commercial legal conflicts between different countries. It deals with cross-border
[00:05:27] civil and commercial cases, such as which country's court
[00:05:31] has jurisdiction, which country's law applies, and how
[00:05:35] judgments take effect in other countries, and other such
[00:05:37] questions.
[00:05:52] Japanese Prime Minister Kishi Fumio reshuffled his cabinet on the 17th. This is Kishi's first cabinet reshuffle
[00:05:56] since taking office in October last year. Members of the Japan Innovation Party,
[00:06:00] the ruling partner of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, entered the cabinet for the first
[00:06:03] time in this reshuffle. The announced cabinet list
[00:06:07] shows that Cabinet Secretary Motoichi and Foreign Minister
[00:06:11] Motegi.
[00:06:32] Let's hear the analysis from Meng Mingming, a research fellow at the Institute of Japanese Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. One is
[00:06:35] to further consolidate power at the anniversary mark. This time,
[00:06:39] important positions, such as the Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party, and the Foreign Minister.
[00:07:12] In 2027,
[00:07:13] the LDP election will seek re-election for a long term.
[00:07:17] There is also a key point, that is, this time Kishi's key point is that the Innovation Party has entered the cabinet. Currently, Kishi is under huge pressure from the opposition regarding consumption and various bills to improve the military. The Innovation Party's entry is to ensure that the bill is evaluated based on rigid requirements. We should note that the Innovation Party is a right-wing party with an emphasis on external strength.
[00:08:17] To complete Japan's remilitarization transformation and further reinforce Japan's long-term wartime system. According to
[00:08:19] Japan's Kyodo News, regarding the three security documents that the Japanese
[00:08:23] government will revise by the end of the year, several related sources revealed
[00:08:27] the contents of the draft defense force development plan on the 16th.
[00:08:31] In the five years from 2027 to 2031, the Japanese
[00:08:35] government plans to introduce about 52,000 unmanned equipment
[00:08:38] for long-range strikes, intelligence gathering, and other missions. In addition,
[00:08:42] including long-range missiles, the estimated cost
[00:08:46] to strengthen the standoff defense capability for attacking from outside the enemy's
[00:08:50] range will exceed 9 trillion Japanese yen,
[00:08:53] or about 389 billion yuan, nearly double the current
[00:08:57] plan. Relevant personnel pointed out that in the next five years, Japan's defense
[00:09:01] spending may increase to 70 trillion to 80 trillion
[00:09:05] Japanese yen. The total defense spending of the current
[00:09:09] plan for 2023 to 2027 is about 43 trillion
[00:09:12] Japanese yen, which will show a significant increase compared to that.
[00:09:16] So what are the specific contents of this draft defense
[00:09:20] force development plan? And what ambitions does it reveal about Japan ?
[00:09:24] 。
[00:09:27] According to the content of the draft defense force development plan revealed
[00:09:31] by Japan's Kyodo News, Japan's budget for strengthening its artificial
[00:09:34] intelligence and unmanned equipment defense capabilities will reach approximately
[00:09:38] 7 trillion Japanese yen, six times the current plan,
[00:10:55] Japan also plans to deploy about 200 unmanned underwater
[00:10:59] vehicles that can perform mine-laying and long-range missile operations. These unmanned
[00:11:02] underwater vehicles are all large autonomous underwater platforms
[00:11:06] that can carry mines and deploy mines,
[00:11:10] and can also launch long-range missiles.
[00:11:14] They mainly perform two types of missions. The first type of mission
[00:11:17] is secret office mine-laying
[00:11:20] . Long-term secret operations underwater, and then
[00:11:24] ,
[00:12:15] In addition, the draft also proposes building a sustainable response
[00:12:19] capability for long-term warfare, which is expected to require about
[00:12:23] 10 trillion Japanese yen. Its
[00:13:06] aim is to further extend its firepower strike range into the enemy's hinterland. Japan's pace of militarization is accelerating. The introduction of a large number of long-range attack weapons is not for defensive
[00:13:10] needs, but to strengthen its offensive capabilities.
[00:13:14] This will impact regional peace and stability
[00:13:18] and affect regional security
[00:13:22] . It can be said that Japan is now
[00:13:55] This year's summer grain purchase is mainly market-based, and policy-based
[00:13:59] purchases are low. Currently, various entities across the country have
[00:14:03] cumulatively purchased over 100 million tons of wheat.
[00:14:07] To protect the interests of grain farmers, the state promptly initiated the wheat
[00:14:11] minimum purchase price implementation plan. China Grain Reserve has successively
[00:14:14] established 164 wheat minimum purchase price collection points in Henan
[00:14:18] and Anhui
[00:14:19] .
[00:14:24] The main focus of the collection
[00:14:40] Currently, the main area is rushing
[00:14:48] This is the Tea Grand Line in the mountains. Please look at the brand new steel beam above my head.
[00:16:07] It is introduced that as of the end of last year, the scale of online audio-visual users in my country has
[00:16:11] reached 1.099 billion people, and netizens watch
[00:16:14] more than 200 minutes per day. The market
[00:16:18] size of the industry has exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan. The number of
[00:16:22] national short video users has exceeded 800 million. The market size will exceed
[00:16:26] 100 billion yuan in 2025. During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the radio and television
[00:16:30] and online audio-visual industries will promote the deep integration and coordinated development of the two major businesses
[00:16:33] of radio and television and online audio-visual. Grasp the three major aspects of ideology, public service, and technology industry.
[00:17:08] Let the common people watch TV more conveniently and more comfortably
[00:17:11] . At the press conference, a relevant official
[00:17:15] from the National Radio and Television Administration also introduced that this
[00:17:19] year, the National Radio and Television Administration, together with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology,
[00:17:22] formulated integrated TV technical standards, and integrated set-top
[00:17:26] box functions into TV sets in software form, creating
[00:17:29] an extremely simple terminal form . One TV can enjoy
[00:17:33] live broadcast, on-demand, and other full types of TV services. Users are
[00:17:37] equipped with a universal remote control. They can turn it on and off with one button,
[00:17:40] and watch channel programs with one button. On the 17th, reporters learned
[00:17:44] from the State Administration for Market Regulation that a risk control list for food safety
[00:17:48] related to online food sales was released. The risk control list draws
[00:17:52] risk markers for live e-commerce, online stores, and other online food sales. This marks
[00:17:56] the deepening of online food safety supervision from bottom-line defense
[00:18:00] to precise prevention and control.
[00:18:03] The risk control list released this time disassembles the entire
[00:18:06] chain of online food sales into the smallest work units, promoting
[00:18:10] the transformation of online food sales enterprises from passively responding to inspections
[00:18:14] to actively preventing and controlling risks. For food live e-commerce platforms,
[00:18:18] online food trading third-party platforms, and online food production
[00:18:22] and sales enterprises, these three types of entities, separate lists
[00:18:25] are formulated, requiring them to each perform their duties and focus on
[00:18:29] their own priorities. For live e-commerce platform operators, the risk control
[00:18:33] list specifically addresses false advertising and prohibits the use of technical
[00:19:01] means or equipment. For providers of third-party online food trading platforms, in response to existing issues such
[00:19:05] as false qualifications, misappropriated qualifications, and inconsistent certifications, the risk
[00:19:08] control list requires platforms to conduct substantive reviews and
[00:19:12] update them at least every six months. For online food production
[00:19:16] and sales enterprises, the risk control list strictly controls the entire
[00:19:20] process from procurement to distribution . All three lists
[00:19:23] are based on the risk closed-loop management model, requiring immediate
[00:19:27] preventive and control measures to be taken for food safety risks found,
[00:19:31] and sales to be immediately stopped for potential food safety accidents,
[00:19:35] and reported to market supervision departments. At the same time,
[00:19:38] platforms are encouraged to share blacklist information among operators,
[00:19:42] so that those who breach trust are restricted everywhere.
[00:19:46] On the 17th, the 23rd China -ASEAN Expo opened in Nanning,
[00:19:50] Guangxi. This year's Expo attracted more than 3,400 enterprises
[00:19:54] from more than 70 countries and regions. Timor-Leste made its
[00:19:58] debut as a co-host, which is also the first time that
[00:20:02] 11 countries have gathered in Nanning since ASEAN's expansion. This year's
[00:20:06] Expo also set up an East
[00:20:20] At the same time, the 23rd China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit was also held in Nanning, Guangxi on the 17th. On the 17th, the first Hualong One nuclear power
[00:20:24] unit in Hainan Free Trade Port, Unit 3 of the second phase
[00:20:28] of Huaneng Changjiang Nuclear Power, was officially put into commercial operation.
[00:20:31] The second phase of the Huaneng Changjiang Nuclear Power project is located in Changjiang Li Autonomous County, Hainan
[00:20:35] Province, and plans to build Unit 3 and Unit 4.
[00:20:57] put into commercial operation in August. It has completed 86
[00:21:00] technical modifications, and the comprehensive localization rate is about
[00:21:04] 98.1%. Its three safety systems are
[00:21:08] equipped with both active and passive systems. In case of an accident
[00:21:11] , it can complete core heat removal through
[00:21:15] natural forces such as gravity and natural circulation without external
[00:21:18] power supply, and is equipped with 240
[00:22:12] The US Federal Reserve concluded its two-day monetary
[00:22:15] policy meeting on the 16th, announcing that it would set the federal
[00:22:19] funds rate target range.
[00:24:24] The Fed raised interest rates 11 times from March 2022
[00:24:28] to July 2023 to deal with high inflation.
[00:24:32] As the economy cooled down, the Fed turned to implementing
[00:24:35] six interest rate cuts from September 2024 to December 2025.
[00:24:39] From January to July this year, it chose to keep
[00:24:43] interest rates unchanged for five consecutive times. However, with the ongoing
[00:24:47] Middle East war, especially with energy prices remaining high, more and more
[00:25:20] This time, there is also a policy consideration of constraint,
[00:25:24] that is, if it faces repeated inflation but remains
[00:25:27] inactive, it will damage the Fed's credibility in fighting inflation.
[00:25:31] Therefore, it must take the initiative rather than passively wait for inflation
[00:25:35] to worsen before taking action. This rate hike also indicates that the possibility
[00:25:39] of rate hikes has opened up, but it does not mean that
[00:25:43] a continuous rate hike cycle has been initiated. It is a conditional
[00:25:46] rate hike or an insurance rate hike. There is indeed still
[00:26:34] some economies with high foreign debt and weak foreign exchange reserves will see an increase in risk, and some countries will be forced to follow suit, sacrificing
[00:26:38] their own growth to stabilize their exchange rates. If inflation
[00:26:42] persists and the Fed continues to raise interest rates,
[00:26:45] it will significantly increase the risk of a global
[00:26:49] recession. If inflation falls rapidly, and the expectation of
[00:26:53] interest rate hikes subsides, the market will be able
[00:26:57] to recover more quickly. It should be said that the global market
[00:27:01] will enter a period of high volatility. The Federal Reserve
[00:28:32] In addition to delivering a speech at the European Parliament, her itinerary
[00:28:36] also included meeting with British Prime Minister Burnham in the UK
[00:28:40] to discuss cooperation in defense and security, and meeting with
[00:28:44] French President Macron in France to discuss cooperation in aerospace,
[00:28:48] artificial intelligence, and other fields. On the 16th, von der Leyen
[00:28:52] stated in her 2026 State of the Union address at the European
[00:28:55] Parliament that she and President Carney will work together
[00:28:59] to make Canada the first associate member of the EU.
[00:29:03] Von der Leyen stated that Europe and Canada will move
[00:29:06] from the existing to building a common prosperous
[00:29:10] and economically secure space.
[00:30:20] So, how have European countries reacted to von der Leyen's
[00:30:24] push for Canada to become an associate member of the EU? What
[00:30:28] are the voices and statements ? Let's look at CCTV
[00:30:31] reporter Gu Xin's observation report from the front.
[00:30:34] We have noticed that European media, in their reports on
[00:30:38] this matter, generally mentioned the comprehensive economic and trade agreement between the
[00:30:41] EU and Canada. This agreement began provisional implementation in 2017,
[00:30:45] but the process of promoting it has been quite challenging over the past
[00:30:49] decade. Currently, 10 EU member states have not yet completed
[00:30:53] ratification. Against this background, von der Leyen's proposal in her State
[00:30:57] of the Union address to make Canada the first associate member of the EU seems
[00:31:01] quite aggressive. Another phenomenon we have
[00:33:32] Motor vehicles exploding in the streets or
[00:33:35] subway noise, up to 1,000 yuan fine for noise pollution.
[00:33:41] Guangzhou City noise
[00:33:45] Overall, it is through local legislation to fill the shortcomings in noise
[00:33:49] control, so that noise pollution control gradually shifts from relying
[00:33:52] more on ex-post treatment to source prevention. Judicial
[00:33:56] judgments break the conventional thinking of "meeting standards means exemption from liability".
