[00:00:32] Good evening, everyone. Good evening. Today is August 20th, Thursday,
[00:00:36] the eighth day of the seventh lunar month. Welcome to News Broadcast.
[00:00:39] The main content of today's program is:
[00:00:43] Xi Jinping congratulates Hichilema on his re-election as President of Zambia.
[00:00:47] Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has personally promoted
[00:00:51] the construction of a Healthy China, establishing a new era of health
[00:00:54] and hygiene policy with a focus on grassroots. Following
[00:00:58] the direction guided by the General Secretary, the state has continued to promote the decentralization of medical and health
[00:01:02] services and resources to strengthen the foundation of Healthy China.
[00:01:06] The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, and the Central Military Commission have decided to award Zhang Lu
[00:01:10] the Second-Class Space Hero Medal and confer the honorary title of Hero Astronaut
[00:01:14] on Wu Fei and Zhang Hong and issue them the Third-Class
[00:01:17] Space Hero Medal. Zhao Leji held talks with the President
[00:01:21] of the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador.
[00:01:23] 。
[00:01:27] Since the beginning of this year, China's high-end equipment manufacturing
[00:02:48] Without universal health, there can be no comprehensive well-off society. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has prioritized people's health. General Secretary Xi Jinping personally promoted the construction of a Healthy China,
[00:02:52] establishing a new era of health and hygiene policy with a focus
[00:02:56] on grassroots. Promoting Healthy China from
[00:03:31] Based on this national condition, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly visited the grassroots for
[00:03:34] investigations. From township health centers to village health stations,
[00:03:38] from community health service centers to medical and nursing integration institutions,
[00:03:42] he pointed out that it is necessary to promote the decentralization of medical and health work
[00:03:46] and medical and health resources, establishing a people-centered approach
[00:03:50] for grassroots health work. On August 19, 2016,
[00:03:53] the first national health and health conference since the founding of New China
[00:03:57] was held. The focus on grassroots was written into
[00:04:01] the first sentence of the new era's health and health work policy.
[00:04:05] Subsequently, the Healthy China 2030 Planning Outline was implemented,
[00:04:09] establishing the top-level design for Healthy China. At
[00:04:13] this year's two sessions, the General Secretary once again emphasized that by 2035,
[00:04:16] to build a Healthy China, it is necessary to plan comprehensively,
[00:04:20] accelerate progress, and strive for decisive progress. The focus on grassroots
[00:04:24] is placed first in the new era's health and health work policy.
[00:04:28] This is General Secretary Xi Jinping's strategic judgment based on China's
[00:04:32] large population and the unbalanced development between urban and rural
[00:04:36] areas. Grassroots medical and health institutions are the foundation
[00:04:39] of the entire health system, and the first line of defense
[00:04:43] for the masses to seek medical care and maintain their health. Grasping
[00:04:47] this key point at the grassroots level allows health services to reach the last
[00:04:50] mile in cities, realizing comprehensive and full-cycle health
[00:04:54] protection for 1.4 billion people. By continuously advancing along this
[00:04:58] path, the grassroots medical and health system
[00:06:20] From 2016 to 2025, the number of grassroots medical and health personnel
[00:06:24] nationwide increased by nearly 50%. The rural targeted free medical
[00:06:28] student training program equipped each township health center
[00:06:32] in the central and western regions with an average of 3.5 general practitioners. Relying
[00:06:35] on 2,199 county-level tightly integrated medical communities
[00:06:39] and 81 urban medical groups, hospitals at higher levels
[00:06:43] send excellent cadres for assistance and remote treatment,
[00:06:47] continuously delivering mature medical technologies, standardized treatment protocols,
[00:06:50] and abundant resources to counties, townships, and villages. As of the end
[00:06:54] of 2025, the number of family doctors nationwide reached 1.391 million,
[00:06:58] and the number of elderly people with signed contracts reached 180 million.
[00:07:02] Chronic disease follow-up, health examinations, rehabilitation guidance, and integration of sports and medicine
[00:07:06] have entered ordinary households, promoting medical and health services
[00:07:09] to shift from a disease-centered approach to accelerating
[00:07:41] During a tour in Tibet, a volunteer from the Tibetan nationality, Sang, was once a patient with severe scoliosis.
[00:07:45] Three years ago, she was discovered by an expert team and
[00:07:49] received treatment. Now she has grown from less than 120 centimeters
[00:07:52] to over 140 centimeters. This year, she was admitted to university,
[00:07:56] starting a brand new life. Three years ago, doctors from Beijing
[00:08:00] came all the way to us from Shanghai and performed surgery
[00:08:04] and rehabilitation. I really didn't expect this day to come.
[00:08:08] Now I am full of hope for the future. Resource decentralization brings
[00:08:26] China will continue to strengthen grassroots medical and health care, promoting the health
[00:08:29] and hygiene cause towards universal, equitable, and shared by all, steadily
[00:08:33] moving forward, laying a solid foundation for the modernization
[00:08:37] of China. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China,
[00:08:39] the State Council, and the Central Military Commission on August 20th.
[00:09:12] conducted three extravehicular activities, completed more than 110
[00:09:16] space station construction, upgrade, maintenance, and repair missions,
[00:09:19] and carried out a series of space science experiments and technology tests.
[00:09:23] They returned safely on May 29, 2026.
[00:09:27] The Shenzhou 21 manned flight mission is China's
[00:09:31] sixth manned flight mission in the space station application and development
[00:09:34] stage of the manned space program, creating the fastest
[00:09:38] rendezvous and docking record between the Shenzhou spacecraft and the space station.
[00:09:42] It broke the record for the longest single extravehicular activity time for Chinese astronauts,
[00:09:46] marking the new step of China's space industry in achieving
[00:09:50] high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement. It has important
[00:09:54] significance for enhancing China's comprehensive national strength and the cohesion of
[00:09:58] the Chinese nation, further strengthening the national confidence and pride of
[00:10:01] all Chinese people, and inspiring the entire Party,
[00:10:05] the entire army, and people of all ethnic groups to fight
[00:10:08] with high spirits. The successful completion of the Shenzhou
[00:10:12] 21 manned flight mission embodies the wisdom and efforts
[00:10:15] of a large number of scientific and technical workers, astronauts, cadres, and officers
[00:10:19] and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army. Comrades Zhang Lu, Wu Fei,
[00:10:23] and Zhang Hongzhang are outstanding representatives
[00:10:25] among them. They are devoted to the Party, fulfill their missions,
[00:10:29] are not afraid of hardships, and dare to take on responsibilities, showcasing
[00:10:33] the powerful Chinese wisdom, Chinese courage, and Chinese confidence
[00:10:35] to the world. Comrade Zhang Lu went to space again
[00:10:39] after two years and served as commander, accumulating seven
[00:10:43] extravehicular activities, creating a new record for the number of personal extravehicular
[00:10:47] activities by Chinese astronauts. Comrade Wu Fei is
[00:10:50] innovative and enterprising, and trained assiduously. In his first space
[00:10:54] flight, he performed three extravehicular activities, becoming the youngest
[00:10:58] aerospace flight engineer to perform a manned flight mission in China.
[00:11:01] Comrade Zhang Hongzhang, a technical expert, was honorably
[00:11:05] selected for the Shenzhou 21 crew as an in-orbit expert,
[00:11:09] completing a series of experiments for space applications. To commend
[00:11:13] their outstanding contributions to China's manned space industry, the Central
[00:11:16] Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, and the Central Military Commission decided
[00:11:20] to award Comrade Zhang Lu the Second-Class Space Hero Medal
[00:11:24] and confer
[00:11:28] the honorary title of Hero Astronaut on Comrades Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang, and issue them the Third-Class Space Hero Medal.
[00:11:31] Comrades Zhang Lu, Wu Fei, and Zhang Hongzhang are
[00:11:35] pioneers of the era who keep their original aspirations in mind, bear
[00:11:39] their missions firmly, and dedicate themselves to the country's important
[00:11:43] undertakings. They are models and benchmarks for exploring the universe,
[00:11:46] dreaming of space, and building a strong space nation. The Party Central
[00:11:50] Committee calls on the entire Party, the entire army, and people of all ethnic groups
[00:11:54] to follow the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics
[00:11:58] for a New Era, thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress
[00:12:01] and the second plenary session of the 20th Central Committee, conscientiously implement the deployment of the fourth
[00:12:05] plenary session, deeply understand the decisive significance of the two establishments, enhance
[00:12:09] the four consciousnesses, strengthen the four self-confidences, and achieve the two
[00:12:13] safeguards. They should unite more closely around the Party Central Committee
[00:12:17] with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, vigorously carry forward the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite"
[00:12:20] and the manned space spirit, take the awarded astronauts as examples,
[00:12:24] strengthen their confidence in victory, and maintain high spirits, striving
[00:12:28] tirelessly for the modernization of China, the comprehensive construction of a strong
[00:12:31] country, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Zhao Leji, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress,
[00:12:35] held talks with Castro, President of the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador,
[00:12:39] at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on the 20th. Zhao Leji
[00:12:43] stated that tomorrow will be the 8th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China
[00:12:47] and El Salvador. Under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state,
[00:12:50] the relations between the two countries have developed comprehensively and rapidly.
[00:12:54] China is willing to work with El Salvador
[00:12:56] to implement the important consensus of the two heads of state, enhance mutual trust, strengthen cooperation,
[00:13:00] and continuously elevate China-El Salvador relations to a higher level. Zhao Leji
[00:13:04] pointed out that the two sides should deepen political mutual trust and be friends
[00:13:08] who support each other. China appreciates El Salvador's adherence to the one-China
[00:13:12] principle and is willing to continue to work with El Salvador based on
[00:13:16] the principles of mutual respect, equality, win-win cooperation, and non-interference
[00:13:19] in each other's internal affairs, building the relationship between the two
[00:13:23] countries into a model of friendly cooperation between countries of different sizes and national conditions, focusing on improving people's livelihoods and being partners
[00:14:25] The promotion
[00:14:33] of major projects in various regions has been steadily advancing, providing
[00:14:36] support for high-quality economic development.
[00:14:38] Today, the main structure of the
[00:14:42] Huaihe River estuary sluice project in Yancheng, Jiangsu,
[00:14:46] was fully completed. This is the first sluice project of the
[00:14:50] second phase of the Huaihe River estuary waterway that is ready for operation.
[00:14:54] The Huaihe River estuary waterway
[00:15:37] The continuous beam of the Zhengfu Shanghang Line Super Bridge rotated 25 degrees clockwise
[00:15:41] in 40 minutes, achieving precise alignment, laying a foundation
[00:15:44] for subsequent erection and paving construction. After the Pinglu
[00:15:48] Zhou High-speed Railway is completed, it will open up a new
[00:15:52] high-speed passenger transport channel from Northwest and Central China to the Yangtze River Delta.
[00:15:56] In Harbin, Heilongjiang, the largest suspension arch bridge
[00:16:00] in Northeast China, the Songhua River Bridge, successfully completed the
[00:16:03] river closure. The bridge is nearly 4,700 meters long and will effectively After it is put into operation, it will be able to produce 200,000 lamps annually, and 1 million can continuously transport aviation materials. This section of time is up to 800 kV high-voltage fourth standard through Sichuan.
[00:16:56] It is expected that after it is put into operation in April next year, it will be able to send more than
[00:17:00] 36 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity from Gansu to
[00:17:02] Zhejiang. Since the beginning of this year, China's high-end
[00:17:06] equipment manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing industries
[00:17:37] and other products have seen rapid growth in output. From an industry perspective,
[00:17:41] integrated circuit manufacturing, aircraft manufacturing, and intelligent equipment manufacturing and other
[00:17:45] industries have significantly accelerated their growth. In Anhui, since the beginning
[00:17:49] of this year, the integrated circuit industry has grown by more than
[00:17:53] 3 times year-on-year. A number of industrial projects that have been planned for
[00:17:57] many years are now entering their harvest period. We are not starting from scratch. We are doing
[00:18:01] key component manufacturing, such as specialized chips, and precisely targeting
[00:18:04] third-generation semiconductors. In addition, our province's new energy vehicles
[00:18:21] Among them, the export delivery value of the automotive electronics industry increased
[00:18:25] by 41.2% and 8.4%
[00:18:28] respectively, contributing 25.8% and 30.7%
[00:18:32] respectively to the growth of
[00:18:34] the export delivery value of all industrial enterprises above designated size.
[00:18:41] The international competitiveness continues to increase. Autumn is the season of harvest, and local specialty agricultural products
[00:18:45] are being harvested one after another, driving farmers' income growth
[00:18:48] and contributing to the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas.
[00:18:51] Across the country, fruits are fragrant. Currently, more than
[00:18:55] 200,000 mu of red heart kiwifruit in Liupanshui, Guizhou, has entered
[00:18:59] the picking season. Liupanshui is mostly mountainous, and in the
[00:19:02] past, after picking, the fruits were mainly transported manually
[00:19:06] from the orchards to the roads. This
[00:21:49] The Supreme People's Court today issued a decision on revising the Supreme People's
[00:21:53] Court's interpretation on several issues concerning the application of law in copyright
[00:21:57] civil dispute cases. In response to key and difficult issues
[00:22:01] such as the determination of published works and the scope of fair use,
[00:22:05] authorized reproduction, and statutory permission in copyright judicial practice,
[00:22:08] it further refined and improved the legal application standards
[00:22:12] and unified the judgment criteria for cases. The decision will come into effect
[00:22:16] on September 1, 2026. The Ministry of Civil Affairs,
[00:23:20] The guests discussed how China-Africa media and broadcasting can promote cultural exchanges,
[00:23:24] empower economic cooperation, and drive youth interaction,
[00:23:28] and released the joint declaration of the 7th China-Africa Media Cooperation
[00:23:31] Forum and 80 innovative cooperation
[00:23:35] plans for China-Africa broadcasting.
[00:23:39] Recently, in Shiqu County, Sichuan Province, patrolling police officers
[00:23:43] recorded about 180 white-lipped deer
[00:23:46] crossing the Yalong River. White-lipped deer are a national first-class protected animal.
[00:24:21] I strongly oppose policies that lead to war. Japan has experienced various disasters
[00:24:25] such as heavy rains and earthquakes, but instead of using money for disaster
[00:24:29] relief, it is used for military purposes. I firmly oppose
[00:24:32] this.
[00:24:34] Kishi's words are full of lies, ignoring our voices. I don't
[00:24:38] want to see war happen. I have two grandsons, and I cannot let them
[00:24:42] go to war. This is also
[00:24:44] why I came to protest.
[00:24:46] We strongly oppose war and hope to protect Article 9 of the Constitution.
[00:24:50] Japan was once an aggressor, but Kishi uses various word games
[00:24:54] to deny Japan's history of launching wars of aggression. Such a person
[00:24:58] should not become prime minister. He should step down as soon as possible.
[00:25:01] US President Trump announced
[00:25:05] on the 19th that he would impose the most devastating economic
[00:25:08] actions on Iran. Trump called this an unprecedented economic
[00:25:12] war and isolation. The United States needs all allies
[00:25:16] to participate. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said today:
[00:25:20] The so-called economic actions of the United States are intended to divert
[00:25:24] attention from its domestic crises, including unprecedented debt and rising
[00:25:28] interest expenditures. Regarding the Strait of Hormuz issue,
[00:25:31] according to the US news website Axios reported
[00:25:35] on the 19th, the US military has secretly
[00:25:39] established a shipping channel to ensure that millions of barrels of oil
[00:25:43] are shipped out of the Strait of Hormuz every day. This operation has been ongoing
[00:25:46] for several weeks. According to Iranian media reports, the Iranian Parliament's
[00:25:50] National Security Committee stated on the same day that hostile
[00:25:54] vessels or vessels threatening Iran's national security are prohibited from entering
[00:25:57] the Strait of Hormuz. If Iran's interests are harmed, Iran will
[00:26:01] retaliate against hostile countries in
[00:26:04] the Strait of Hormuz. The US Treasury Department's data released
[00:26:08] on the 19th showed that the total US federal government debt
[00:26:12] reached approximately 40.05 trillion US dollars, breaking 40 trillion
[00:26:16] US dollars for the first time. According to US media reports, in less than 10
[00:26:20] years, the US federal government debt more than doubled, breaking
[00:26:23] 40 trillion US dollars, marking the acceleration of the US structural
[00:26:27] crisis and the continuous accumulation of multiple risks. US experts
[00:26:31] said that debt accumulation, rising
[00:26:48] Experts pointed out that this is the result of years of fiscal irresponsibility by both US parties. In addition, analysis points out that the endless expansion of US debt is continuously eroding global investors' confidence
[00:26:51] in the long-term credibility of US debt, which is built on the hegemony
[00:26:55] of the US dollar.
[00:26:59] Next, let's look at a set of international news.
[00:27:02] The Russian Ministry of Defense announced today that the Russian Pacific
[00:27:06] Fleet conducted a planned exercise, launching missile strikes at targets
[00:27:10] near the coast of the Southern Kuril Islands, which Japan calls the Northern
[00:27:14] Territories. The Russian missile cruiser Varyag, the nuclear submarine Omsk,
[00:27:18] and the Bal coastal defense system located on the Kuril Islands
[00:27:22] participated in the exercise.
[00:27:25] The German Federal Prosecutor's Office announced on the 19th that
[00:27:28] a Ukrainian man was arrested in Croatia on the same
[00:27:37] day for suspected involvement in the 2022 Nord Stream natural gas pipeline explosion. He will be extradited to Germany for trial. According to information released by the German side, this suspect
[00:27:41] belongs to the same group as the already indicted Ukrainian suspect
[00:27:45] Sergey. The group is suspected of having planted multiple bombs
[00:27:49] in the waters near the Danish island of Bornholm in September 2022
[00:27:52] to destroy the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines connecting Russia
[00:27:56] with Germany and other European countries.
[00:27:59] 。
[00:28:02] Iranian Parliament Speaker Kalibaf visited Baghdad, the capital of Iraq,
[00:28:06] and met separately with Iraqi President Abdul Latif Rashid, Iraqi
[00:28:10] Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani, and Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mohammed
[00:28:14] al-Halbousi. The Iraqi Parliament issued a statement on the same
[00:28:17] day saying that Halbousi stated during the meeting that Iraq is
[00:28:21] one of the countries most affected by regional instability and called
[00:28:25] for safeguarding Iraq's economic interests. Kalibaf stated that Iran is
[00:28:29] willing to maintain close coordination and cooperation with Iraq in all fields.
[00:28:33] Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said on social media on the
[00:28:37] 19th that Israel will never tolerate the presence of Turkish
[00:28:40] military forces in Syria, and Israel has issued a clear
[00:28:44] warning to Turkey in this regard. The Turkish government
[00:28:48] criticized Israel's remarks on the same day as baseless,
[00:28:52] only aiming to legitimize the Israeli military's airstrikes in Syria
[00:28:56] the previous day. The Turkish side called on the international community
[00:29:00] to take action to stop Israel's escalating aggression.
[00:29:03] NASA announced on the 19th that due to technical
[00:29:07] problems with the rescue spacecraft, it cancelled the plan to
[00:29:11] boost the orbit of the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor. According to US
[00:29:15] media reports, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor will fall into Earth's
[00:29:18] atmosphere by the end of this year. The Gamma-ray Burst Monitor
[00:29:22] was launched in 2004, and its main mission is to observe
[00:29:26] gamma-ray bursts in the universe. In recent years, due to
[00:29:30] increased solar activity, the decay rate of the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor's
