[00:00:35] Good evening, everyone. Good evening. Today is August 21st,
[00:00:39] Friday, the ninth day of the seventh lunar month. Welcome to Lianbo program.
[00:00:43] First, I will introduce you to the main contents of today's program.
[00:00:47] General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that security should be considered in development,
[00:00:50] and development should be sought in security. In the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan,
[00:00:54] the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping as its core, has coordinated the overall situation at home
[00:00:57] and abroad. Iran condemned the new US economic and trade sanctions as economic terrorism.

[00:01:36] Wildfires continue to rage in Spain and other countries.
[00:01:39] Here is the detailed report.
[00:01:42] General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized
[00:01:46] that security should be considered in development, and development should be sought in security.
[00:01:49] In the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, the international environment is complex and volatile,
[00:01:53] and the domestic economy is also facing some
[00:01:57] difficulties and challenges. With Comrade Xi Jinping as the core.
[00:02:30] International financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley have also raised their forecasts
[00:02:33] for China's economic growth. In the first half of this year,
[00:02:37] our country's GDP grew by 4.7% year-on-year,
[00:02:40] still ranking among the top major economies in the world.
[00:02:44] The economic increment in the first half of the year was 3.6 trillion yuan, the largest increment in the same period
[00:02:48] in the past five years. Entering 2026, the clouds of global geopolitical
[00:02:51] conflicts hang overhead, and the international situation is becoming more complex and severe.
[00:02:55] The operation of the world economy and the stability of the global industrial chain supply
[00:02:59] have been severely impacted. Changes are accelerating, and how to properly
[00:03:03] handle the relationship between development and security has become a common problem
[00:03:07] facing all countries in the world. As early as 2014,
[00:03:10] General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward the two major tasks of coordinating development and security.
[00:03:14] Since then, on many important occasions, General Secretary Xi Jinping has profoundly elaborated
[00:03:17] on the dialectical relationship between development and security, and put forward a series of new ideas,
[00:03:21] new concepts, and new judgments. He emphasized that coordinating
[00:03:25] development and security, strengthening the sense of urgency,
[00:03:28] and being prepared for danger is a major principle
[00:03:32] of our Party's governance. How to consider security in development
[00:03:36] and seek development in security, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always
[00:03:39] had profound strategic thinking. From 12 years ago,
[00:03:43] he creatively put forward the new strategy of "four revolutions and one cooperation"
[00:03:47] for energy security. To firmly hold the two bowls of food and energy.
[00:03:51] From advanced planning to promote the development of artificial intelligence,
[00:03:55] to promoting the construction of a new development pattern.
[00:03:59] Facing the uncertainty of external geopolitics,
[00:04:30] we must do our own things well and stabilize the domestic market.
[00:04:34] In this process, advance planning and strategic positioning
[00:04:38] are particularly important. The General Secretary keenly observed
[00:04:42] these major changes in the pattern very early on. With a long-term vision,
[00:04:46] he grasped the strategy and direction of China's economic development.
[00:04:50] These strategic decisions have had a profound impact on today.
[00:04:53] Since the beginning of this year, at critical moments when facing pressure
[00:04:57] and striving for breakthroughs, they have all been vivid practices
[00:05:01] of coordinating high-quality development and high-level security.
[00:05:04] In the first half of the year, due to conflicts, shipping in the Strait of Hormuz
[00:05:08] was blocked, and the world's most important energy chokepoint fell into crisis.
[00:05:12] The resulting chain reaction caused the Chinese economy to face
[00:05:16] external shocks directly. In the Hainan International Energy
[00:05:19] Exchange Center, two different curves reflect China's response
[00:05:23] at a critical moment. This yellow rollercoaster-like curve
[00:05:27] represents the international market's spot price for a certain type of oil since the beginning of this year.
[00:05:31] Its highest increase reached 120%.
[00:05:34] This red curve represents the domestic spot price
[00:05:38] of gasoline in our country during the same period.
[00:05:42] Its brief peak was only about two-fifths of the yellow curve,
[00:05:46] and it quickly fell back and remained stable later.
[00:05:49] In response to the impact, the country decisively launched the first
[00:05:53] temporary refined oil price control measures in over a decade, ensuring basic
[00:05:57] stability of oil prices. Focusing on independent production,
[00:06:00] domestic crude oil, natural gas, and electricity production all hit
[00:06:04] new highs for the same period in history. The green transformation of energy accelerated,
[00:06:08] and the proportion of non-fossil energy power generation capacity exceeded 60% for the first time.
[00:06:42] In 25 summer grain producing areas across the country, operations were carried out simultaneously,
[00:06:46] racing against time to harvest grain and successfully completing the summer grain harvest.
[00:06:50] This year, the national summer grain output exceeded 300 billion catties
[00:06:54] for the first time, providing solid support for the whole year's grain
[00:06:58] production increase and income. Securely holding the two bowls of food
[00:07:01] and energy makes high-quality development as stable as a rock.
[00:07:05] In the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, the innovation engine driving development
[00:07:09] became stronger. A series of cutting-edge technological breakthroughs
[00:07:12] injected solid impetus into the safe development of industries.
[00:07:16] China's aerospace sector successively achieved breakthroughs in both sea-based
[00:07:20] and land-based rocket recovery. The domestically produced supercomputer
[00:07:24] topped the global supercomputing list. The world's largest AI model
[00:07:28] was released and open-sourced to the world.
[00:07:31] Behind these innovative achievements, our country is determined to achieve
[00:07:35] high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.
[00:07:36] Relying on the new type of nationwide system.
[00:07:39] and the draft revision of the regulations
[00:09:12] on investigation and handling, and the draft regulations on market supervision
[00:09:16] and management. The meeting pointed out that
[00:09:20] it is necessary to actively adapt to the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial
[00:09:24] transformation, firmly grasp the opportunities for the construction of
[00:09:27] new-generation communication networks, adhere to application-driven
[00:09:31] and advanced deployment, and promote the construction of
[00:09:35] basic networks, space networks, international networks, and converged networks,
[00:09:39] consolidate and enhance the competitive advantages of our country's information and communication industry.
[00:09:50] popularize and promote new-generation intelligent terminals, actively cultivate high-value scenarios such as smart cities and intelligent manufacturing, and continuously expand the industrial ecosystem. We need to strengthen the protection of key network infrastructure and data security,
[00:09:54] improve emergency communication capabilities, and ensure network and information
[00:09:58] security. We need to combine government guidance, enterprise as the main body, and social
[00:10:02] participation in the construction mechanism, and do a good job in ensuring
[00:10:05] elements such as land, electricity, and spectrum, and stimulate the enthusiasm of various entities.
[00:10:09] The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to accelerate the cleanup
[00:10:25] of overdue payments to enterprises, vigorously address the issue of large enterprises
[00:10:28] defaulting on payments to small and medium-sized enterprises, establish industry-specific payment rules,
[00:10:32] clarify reasonable payment periods and conditions by industry, refine the criteria for identifying
[00:10:36] untrustworthy payment behavior by overdue enterprises, strengthen supervision over large enterprise payment behavior,
[00:10:40] strengthen enforcement against unfair competition, strictly adhere to payment information disclosure requirements,
[00:10:44] and regulate non-cash payment instruments. The meeting pointed out
[00:10:47] that it is necessary to continue to fight the battle for blue skies,
[00:10:51] strengthen target guidance, strengthen governance in key areas
[00:11:25] It is necessary to improve the ability to respond to electricity safety accidents,
[00:11:29] continuously promote the upgrading of technical equipment, and improve the working mechanism
[00:11:33] of joint management by various departments. The meeting pointed out that
[00:11:36] it is necessary to consolidate the grassroots foundation of market regulation, push resources
[00:11:40] and strength to the frontline, strengthen technological empowerment,
[00:11:44] improve the effectiveness of supervision and services, and effectively maintain fair competition in the market.
[00:11:47] The meeting also discussed other matters. Zhao Leji, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress,
[00:11:51] met in Beijing on the morning of August 21st. To contribute to the promotion of China-Jordan strategic partnership.
[00:12:30] Abdullah II expressed that Jordan highly appreciates
[00:12:34] China's important leadership in global governance.
[00:12:38] Jordan is willing to deepen political mutual trust with China,
[00:12:42] strengthen economic and trade investment, and cooperation in other fields,
[00:12:46] promote exchanges between the legislative bodies of the two countries, and push for common prosperity
[00:12:49] and development. Losang Jamcan attended the meeting. On the morning of the same day,
[00:12:53] King Abdullah of Jordan.
[00:13:25] The budget arrangement for fiscal expenditure exceeded 30 trillion yuan for the first time,
[00:13:29] and the scale of new government debt reached 11.89 trillion yuan,
[00:13:32] the largest in history. Central government transfers to local governments
[00:13:36] exceeded 10 trillion yuan for the fourth consecutive year,
[00:13:40] reaching 10.42 trillion yuan. This effectively supports tapping into the potential
[00:13:44] of domestic demand, improving people's livelihoods, supporting the cultivation and growth of new productive forces,
[00:13:48] and coordinating the promotion of development and risk prevention. Among them,
[00:13:52] livelihood protection has increased investment in people.
[00:13:55] The annual national general public budget arranged funds for education, social security,
[00:13:59] health care, and housing totaling 12.4 trillion yuan,
[00:14:02] an increase of 5.4% year-on-year, one percentage point higher than
[00:14:06] the national general public budget expenditure growth. Special funds were arranged for children,
[00:14:10] the elderly, and the young, supporting free flu vaccinations
[00:14:14] for people aged 65 and above in rural areas, among other groups.
[00:14:17] Approximately 100 billion yuan in subsidy funds was allocated for childcare subsidies,
[00:14:21] benefiting over 25 million infants and young children.
[00:14:31] The effectiveness of Omu has gradually become apparent, benefiting approximately 113 million people and 620,000 enterprises.
[00:14:40] Currently, the optimization of the system, which was completed on August 1st, not only expanded its scope but also further improved its speed.
[00:14:49] We have also included this newly issued流动资金into the medium-sized enterprises.
[00:14:54] Investment promotion
[00:16:45] is developing rapidly, and it also opens up a whole new space for scientific and technological innovation. How to truly make artificial intelligence play a greater role in scientific research? Anhui is making a new attempt. Let's follow the reporter to
[00:16:49] take a look.
[00:16:51] Walking into this scientific intelligent
[00:16:54] material creation center, mechanical arms are bustling around the room,
[00:16:58] and every few steps, you will encounter an intelligent
[00:17:01] small car coming from next door. More than 100 scientific research
[00:17:05] robots are autonomously conducting experiments. And during this period, the reporter
[00:17:09] noticed a special object: a pennant from the Anhui Fire Department.
[00:17:13] The new type of fire protection we made performed relatively well in the test,
[00:17:17] so they gave us a pennant. Fang Tiancheng is a doctoral student
[00:17:21] at the University of Science and Technology of China. He has always wanted to create
[00:17:24] safer armor for firefighters. However, even aerospace-grade
[00:17:28] thermal insulation materials still do not perform ideally
[00:17:32] in fire resistance. Thermal insulation materials have basically reached their limit.
[00:17:35] At this time, the traditional approach of thermal insulation
[00:17:39] is not working. The team thought, can we develop a new material
[00:17:43] that can quickly absorb heat when burning, and even produce gas
[00:17:47] to dissipate heat? The idea was there, but when they started, they found
[00:17:51] that it involved catalytic chemistry, engineering thermodynamics, materials science,
[00:17:55] and even quantum chemistry, covering more than ten interdisciplinary subjects.
[00:17:58] Just reading the literature would take at least seven or eight years. Many of these
[00:18:02] are not in my field. At that time, I felt it was a long shot.
[00:18:06] The researchers told the reporter that this situation is not an isolated case.
[00:18:10] The field of new materials has too much scattered knowledge. If you change
[00:18:13] one component's ratio, the structure, and temperature resistance
[00:18:17] all change accordingly. This is also the main reason why
[00:18:21] it takes decades for new materials to go from discovery to application.
[00:18:24] Targeting this pain point, Anhui took the lead in the country to establish
[00:18:28] this innovation platform for discovering new materials and new substances with the help of artificial intelligence.
[00:18:32] Relying on the large model of the University of Science and Technology of China, it has integrated decades, even hundreds of years,
[00:18:36] of related knowledge.
[00:19:31] The emergence of AI tools and the innovative ideas of young people complement each other.
[00:20:20] and other departments work together to actively connect with application scenarios, seek investment, promote the transformation of innovative achievements into actual industrial breakthroughs, and continuously stimulate innovative vitality. From urban leagues to rural arenas, one event after another
[00:20:23] is driving more people to engage in sports, gaining health
[00:20:27] and happiness, while also becoming a new engine for boosting local
[00:20:31] consumption and activating the cultural
[00:20:33] tourism market.
[00:20:35] These days, the 2026 Village
[00:20:39] National Championship Finals are being held enthusiastically in Rongjiang, Guizhou.
[00:20:42] A total of 105 teams and more than 2,600 athletes
[00:20:46] are competing in the finals. We came from the northernmost part of the motherland.
[00:21:17] 52.55 billion yuan. In Jiangsu, the Su Chao League, which also entered a new season, was full of people.
[00:21:24] The number of spectators on site
[00:21:28] exceeded 1.85 million. Jiangsu also innovatively built
[00:21:32] 716 second-field viewing areas in various business districts
[00:21:35] and scenic spots, effectively driving consumption in surrounding restaurants,
[00:21:39] retail stores, and other sectors. The sales of key monitored
[00:21:43] commercial and trade circulation enterprises in the province reached 9.59 billion yuan,
[00:21:47] a year-on-year increase of 7.6%.
[00:22:05] One match after another not only brings health to people, but the enthusiastic popularity also brings real
[00:22:09] consumption growth. The State Council Information Office
[00:22:13] held a meeting for Chinese and foreign journalists on "Strugglers on the New Journey"
[00:22:16] today. Five representatives from the field of natural resources
[00:22:20] met with Chinese and foreign journalists to share their moving stories
[00:22:24] of guarding natural resources and building a beautiful China. They shared their moving stories of
[00:22:28] bravely advancing and innovating in fields such as surveying and mapping technology,
[00:22:32] geological disaster prevention and control, deep-sea exploration, cultivated land protection,
[00:22:36] and desertification control, striving to be guardians of a beautiful China,
[00:22:39] vividly demonstrating the good image of grassroots workers in China's natural resources sector.
[00:22:43] Next, let's look at a set of quick news clips.
[00:22:47] From January to July this year,
[00:22:50] the Export-Import Bank of China issued nearly 500 billion yuan in new loans
[00:22:53] to the manufacturing industry, primarily supporting the transformation and upgrading
[00:22:57] of traditional industries, the development and growth of emerging industries,
[00:23:01] and the advance deployment of future industries. Among them, loans for advanced manufacturing
[00:23:05] amounted to nearly 200 billion yuan, accounting for 40%.
[00:23:09] On August 20th, the Ministry of Finance issued 6 billion yuan of RMB national
[00:23:12] bonds in Macao, which was widely welcomed by investors. The total subscription
[00:23:16] amounted to 38.591 billion yuan, approximately 6.43 times
[00:23:20] the issuance size. The maturity structure of this national bond issuance is more diversified,
[00:23:23] which is conducive to further improving the normalized issuance mechanism
[00:23:27] and promoting the interconnectedness of Macao with the mainland
[00:23:31] and international markets. Since the launch of the 2026
[00:23:35] special action series for personal information protection, the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission, the Ministry of Industry
[00:23:39] and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Public Security, in conjunction with relevant departments,
[00:23:43] have publicly notified over 1,100 mobile application software development kits
[00:23:46] with illegal and non-compliant issues. Punitive measures such as removal from app stores
[00:23:50] were taken against more than 400 apps. This urged enterprises and institutions
[00:23:54] to address various hidden problems totaling over 12,000.
[00:23:56] The State Administration for Market Regulation
[00:23:59] is comprehensively promoting the 2026 Quality Strengthening Ten
[00:24:02] Major Projects, including high-end instruments and meters, humanoid
[00:24:06] intelligent robots, solid-state power batteries, and other key areas, highlighting
[00:24:10] strategic, cutting-edge, and practical aspects. It will roll out
[00:24:14] 166 key tasks to further strengthen the quality
[00:24:18] support for key industries.
[00:24:21] Reporters learned from the third APEC Senior Officials' Meeting that China Customs
[00:24:25] has signed six bilateral agreements with relevant departments of multiple
[00:24:28] APEC economies on agricultural and food products and customs cooperation,
[00:24:32] involving fresh food, fruits, and other imported
[00:24:36] Through deepening customs inspection
[00:24:40] and quarantine cooperation, promoting electronic certificate exchange cooperation for aquatic products,
[00:24:43] and building a smart customs partnership.
[00:24:46] Reporters learned from the National Data Bureau that our country is promoting
[00:24:50] the first batch of international cooperation pilot projects in the data field,
[00:24:54] exploring in ten locations in provinces such as Hainan, Fujian,
[00:24:57] and Guangdong, covering six aspects including data infrastructure connectivity,
[00:25:01] data rule and standard alignment, mutual recognition, and the construction
[00:25:05] of cross-border service ecosystems. Today, our country's independently
[00:25:08] researched and built 115,000-ton refined oil tanker
[00:25:12] was officially delivered to the user. The ship can transport approximately
[00:25:16] 830,000 barrels of refined oil at one time and can dock globally.
[00:26:08] Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova said on the 20th that Japan should
[00:26:12] acknowledge and reflect on its aggressive history during World War II, and stop
[00:26:16] whitewashing its temporary crimes. On the 81st anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender,
[00:26:20] the Japanese government did not publicly acknowledge the fact
[00:26:24] that it launched aggression in the Asia-Pacific region, did not sincerely apologize to the victims
[00:26:27] in neighboring countries, and did not abide by its own country.
[00:26:31] We once again call on Japan to fully recognize the outcome of World War II and stop tampering with the history of Japan's war of aggression.
[00:26:51] 我 们 再 次 呼 遇 日 本 全 面 承 认 二 战 结 果 , 停 止 串 改 日 本 发 动 侵 略 战 争 的 历 史
[00:26:54] On the 20th, the Iranian Foreign Ministry
[00:26:56] issued a statement strongly condemning the new economic
[00:27:00] and trade sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran.
[00:27:05] The statement said that the relevant US sanctions violated the basic human rights of Iranian citizens and were an embodiment of economic terrorism
[00:27:09] and crimes against humanity, trampling on the basic norms of international law.
[00:27:13] Iran will use all tools and capabilities to safeguard
[00:27:17] its national interests and the legitimate rights of the Iranian people.
[00:27:20] The US government stated on the same day that it would increase economic pressure
[00:27:24] on Iran, implementing an unprecedented economic isolation policy against Iran,
[00:27:28] and a plan to severely damage Iran's economy could make the US unnecessary to attack Iran.
[00:27:51] According to US media reports on the 20th, the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier's deployment in the Middle East has exceeded 260 days.
[00:27:54] 过 260 天
[00:27:56] Due to weather, wildfires recently
[00:28:00] broke out in western Spain and continued to spread.
[00:28:04] As of the 20th, the fires had forced hundreds of people
[00:28:07] to evacuate locally. According to Serbian media reports, a fire broke out in Serbia's capital, Belgrade,
[00:28:11] about 60 kilometers east, a few days ago.
[00:28:15] Due to the severity of the fire, Serbia has requested assistance
[00:28:19] from other countries. The German Central Bank, the Bundesbank, released its monthly
[00:28:23] report on the 20th, which showed that persistent drought recently led
[00:28:27] to low water levels in rivers such as the Rhine, reducing
[00:28:30] navigability. The persistent drought may
[00:28:41] Let's look at a group of international quick training again. The United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, and Canada issued a joint statement
[00:28:45] on the 20th, condemning Israel's plan to advance the construction
[00:28:49] of settlements in Area E. The statement said that Israel's
[00:28:53] government's move undermines the prospects of a two-state solution.
[00:28:56] Area E is located between Jordan and the West Bank. The Israeli government
[00:29:00] recently announced this project.
[00:29:14] The Houthi armed movement said on the 20th that the organization launched
[00:29:18] drone attacks on an airport in the southern Saudi Arabian
[00:29:21] region of Najran and an oil facility of Saudi Aramco
[00:29:25] in the region.
[00:29:26] A spokesperson for the European Commission
[00:29:31] said on the 20th
[00:29:40] that the EU clearly hopes that all illegal migrants entering the Spanish enclave of Ceuta will return to Morocco. Previously, some media reported that the Spanish government plans to allow hundreds of unaccompanied minors who are stranded in Ceuta
[00:29:44] to enter mainland Spain. That's all for today's
