00:00:35Hello, everyone, this is CCTV News Channel
00:00:39at 5 AM. Welcome to this news live broadcast
00:00:43. The latest data from the customs shows that in the first seven months of this year,
00:00:46China's import and export of goods trade reached 30.13 trillion yuan,
00:00:50exceeding the 30 trillion yuan mark for the first time in the same period
00:00:53in history.
00:00:55According to customs statistics, in the first 7 months of this year, China's import and export of goods trade
00:00:59,
00:01:04of which exports were 17.4 trillion yuan, an increase of 144,
00:01:08imports were 12.69 trillion yuan, an increase of 22%. In July,
00:01:12the monthly import and export reached 4.66 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of
00:01:1519.2, continuing the good growth trend in the first half of the year. The scale of imports and exports
00:01:19exceeded 4 trillion yuan for five consecutive months. In July, China's high-tech
00:01:23product exports increased by more than 50%, contributing nearly 60% of the export growth,
00:01:27electric vehicles, lithium batteries and other green products.
00:01:36China actively expands its independent opening up, actively expands imports, and promotes balanced development of imports and exports . As of now, it has implemented
00:01:40zero-tariff policies for 63 countries, and its import scale has ranked
00:01:44second in the world for 17 consecutive years. In the first seven months of this
00:01:48was eight percentage points faster than exports, and more high-quality products
00:01:52from around the world entered the Chinese market, sharing China's opportunities. In the first 7 months,
00:01:56China's import and export with more than 180 countries and regions maintained growth.
00:02:00Sharing opportunities and developing together with all countries in the world, trade cooperation is more
00:02:03diversified and stable. As China's diversified international transport channel system continues
00:02:07to improve, cross-border goods transport is more convenient and efficient, and various
00:02:11transport methods for import and export have grown across the board. In the first seven months of this
00:02:15year, China's import and export by water, air,
00:02:19increased by 6.9%, 34.6%, 40.7%, and 17.2% respectively.
00:02:216.9%,34.6%,40.7,17.2%,
00:02:26The value of air and road transport import and export goods accounted for more than 40% of the increase.
00:02:32The China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing announced on the 7th that China's
00:02:36warehousing index in July was 50.3, up 0.1
00:02:39percentage point from the previous month, operating in the expansion period for two
00:02:43consecutive months. Overall, the warehousing industry maintained expansion
00:02:47despite seasonal weather and extreme weather disturbances, and the industry's operation
00:02:50has strong resilience. Let's pay attention to our country's
00:02:54flood situation. On the morning of the 7th, the Ministry of Water Resources held a consultation
00:02:58to analyze and judge the national flood
00:03:01control situation. In the next three days, the Yongjiang and Jiaojiang Rivers may experience flash floods, and some areas
00:03:05in southern Hebei and eastern Shanxi need to guard against flash flood disasters.
00:03:09From August 7th to 9th, affected
00:03:13by rainfall, the Yongjiang and Jiaojiang Rivers may experience flash floods.
00:03:17Some small and medium-sized rivers in the heavy rain area and some stations
00:03:20in the river network area around Taihu Lake may experience floods exceeding the warning
00:03:24level. Affected by the upstream inflow, the Fuyuan section of the Heilongjiang River
00:03:28will exceed the warning level, as will the Songhua
00:03:36Recently, the office of the National Disaster Prevention and Disaster Relief Committee, the Ministry of Emergency Management,
00:03:40the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Water Resources and other departments held
00:03:43a consultation meeting. The meeting analyzed and judged the national
00:03:47natural disaster risk situation in August this year. The analysis believes
00:03:51that the seven major river basins in China are still
00:03:54in the main flood season. It is expected that from mid to late August,
00:03:58China will enter a relatively active
00:04:43period of typhoons, including a strong typhoon moving northward to affect northern China. According to forecasts, parts of northern Beijing, northern Hebei, western Zhejiang, southern and western Anhui, northeastern Jiangxi,
00:04:47eastern Hubei, and western Yunnan have a high risk of geological
00:04:50disasters. Western Inner Mongolia, central
00:04:54northwestern China, northern and eastern Xinjiang have higher temperatures
00:04:58and less rainfall.
00:06:17The committee, in conjunction with Hebei Port Group, established and integrated logistics resources across the region to provide foreign trade enterprises with one-stop services from warehousing to customs declaration,
00:06:21realizing one-time consignment, full-journey direct
00:06:25delivery, and one-bill to the end. We will continue to optimize
00:06:29the air-rail intermodal logistics process , improve logistics support
00:06:32, deepen cooperation between the two regions, and create a cross-regional
00:06:36collaborative investment demonstration model to provide strong transportation
00:06:40and logistics support for the high-quality development of the Jing-Jin-Ji region, and promote
00:06:43high-level development of regional opening up. In July this year,
00:06:47Guangdong's total social electricity consumption exceeded 100 billion kilowatt-hours,
00:06:51becoming the first province in the country this year to break 100 billion
00:06:55kilowatt-hours in a single month. The strong electricity demand reflects the resilience
00:06:59and vitality of the economy. Currently, the power operation in Guangdong Province is safe
00:07:03and orderly with sufficient supply.
00:07:05Reporters learned from the Guangdong Power Grid Company of China Southern Power Grid.
00:07:09In July this year, Guangdong's total social electricity consumption
00:07:33was 17.67%, maintaining a healthy growth.
00:07:34From January to July, the total amount was 3283.511, a year-on-year increase of 7.84%.
00:07:42.
00:08:12From January to July this year, the year-on-year growth rate reached
00:08:15317.90%.
00:08:17Power supply departments made forward-looking arrangements and met the demand
00:08:21for big data computing through new substations
00:08:25and other means. Currently, the power operation in Guangdong Province is safe
00:08:28and orderly with sufficient supply.
00:08:34You are watching the news live broadcast
00:08:38. Currently, Iran and Oman are
00:08:41negotiating.
00:09:02According to Fars News Agency, a source said that according to
00:09:05the negotiations between Iran and Oman, during the transition period, ships
00:09:09will enter through the northern channel near the Iranian side, and
00:09:13leave through the southern channel near the Omani side. After the transition
00:09:17period ends, both of the above two channels will be closed, and all
00:09:21ships will have to pass through a new central channel. The control
00:09:24over the entry channel for ships belongs to Iran, while the exit
00:09:28channel is jointly managed by Iran and Oman. The source also
00:09:32denied rumors of a dispute between Iran and Oman over transit
00:09:36fees, saying that transit fees for ships passing through the Strait
00:09:40will be integrated into various service fees for unified settlement. On the same day, Fars
00:09:43News Agency also reported that Salimi, a member of the Iranian Parliament's Presidium,
00:09:47disclosed details of a draft preliminary text of Iran's proposed
00:09:51strategic management plan for the Strait of Hormuz, the main contents of which include
00:09:55that ships from the United States, Israel and other countries will be prohibited from passing through the Strait of Hormuz,
00:09:58military and civilian goods related to Israel will not be allowed
00:10:02to pass through the area, and ships or goods involved in actions against
00:10:06the resistance front will also be prohibited from passing, etc. According to CNN,
00:10:10this is a document that Iran unilaterally deliberated, and not
00:10:14the content of negotiations between Iran and Oman. On the 6th local
00:10:18time, US President Trump said that it is still not possible to say
00:10:21that an agreement on reopening the Strait of Hormuz has been reached.
00:10:40The agreement reached between Iran and Oman on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz does not involve charging transit fees. US President Trump
00:10:44signed two executive orders on the 6th, aimed at tightening
00:10:48the scope of birthright citizenship, and increasing efforts to combat
00:10:52so-called birth tourism. According to
00:10:55the text of the executive order released by the White House, the first
00:10:59executive order lists certain foreign nationals whose children born
00:11:03in the US are not eligible for birthright citizenship, such
00:11:06as so-called hostile foreign forces, including children of foreign terrorist organizations
00:11:10designated by the US government, children of foreign diplomatic personnel
00:11:14working in the US, children of people participating in birth tourism,
00:11:18and children born through commercial surrogacy in the US.
00:11:22The second executive order targets birth tourism, where newborns obtain
00:11:26US citizenship through birth tourism. The executive
00:11:29order states that the US Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security
00:11:33should take necessary actions, issue new regulations and guidelines
00:11:37to curb birth tourism, including refusing to issue visas
00:11:41to individuals who intend to give birth in the US, revoking visas of
00:11:45foreigners who enter or attempt to enter the US for birth tourism purposes,
00:11:49denying entry or repatriating foreigners who have participated
00:11:52or plan to participate in birth tourism. This is Trump's
00:11:55second attempt to restrict birthright citizenship during his second
00:11:59presidential term. Trump signed an executive order
00:12:03after returning to the White House in January 2025,
00:12:06stipulating that newborns whose parents are neither US citizens nor legal
00:12:10permanent residents cannot automatically obtain US citizenship. On June
00:12:1430th this year, the US Supreme Court ruled to overturn this
00:12:17executive order. US media reported that Trump's latest
00:12:20executive order is also very likely to be challenged in court.
00:12:24Because
00:12:55after the joint intervention in the foreign exchange market, the Japanese yen exchange rate once
00:12:58rose to 1 US dollar for 155.22 Japanese yen
00:13:02on the 3rd. Before the joint intervention, in late July,
00:13:06the Japanese yen exchange rate once approached 1 US dollar
00:13:09for 164 Japanese yen. Bloomberg reported that the Japanese yen had fallen
00:13:13by nearly half of its gains after the joint intervention. The report
00:13:17said that this decline highlights the limitations of intervention measures
00:13:21in reversing the long-term decline of the Japanese yen. The huge interest
00:13:50spread between Japan and the US. The US involvement enhanced the symbolic significance of the intervention, increasing the risk for speculators to continue unilaterally shorting the yen. However, if Japan's
00:13:54fiscal policy and central bank interest rate policy do not change,
00:13:58it will be difficult for the Japanese yen to gain sustained
00:14:01support. On the 7th, Japan's Ministry of Finance announced
00:14:05the exchange rate intervention situation from April to June this year. Japan
00:14:09implemented three Japanese yen exchange rate interventions in the second quarter,
00:14:13on April 30th, May 4th, and May 6th, respectively,
00:14:16buying Japanese yen and selling US dollars, with a cumulative
00:14:20intervention scale of 11.73 trillion Japanese yen. After the intervention,
00:14:23the Japanese yen exchange rate once
00:14:28data released by Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries on the 7th
00:14:32showed that the food self-sufficiency rate of Japan, calculated by calories,
00:14:36for the fiscal year 2025 and from April 2025 to March 2026,
00:14:40decreased by one percentage point to 37%,
00:14:42a historical low. Japan's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries stated
00:14:46that the decrease in rice consumption is an important reason for the decline
00:14:50in the food self-sufficiency rate. Japan's rice consumption has long primarily
00:14:54relied on domestic supply. Rising rice prices have led to a decrease
00:14:58in residents' rice consumption, and the supply of domestic rice has subsequently
00:15:02decreased, significantly lowering Japan's overall food self-sufficiency
00:15:05rate. Now let's turn our attention to Mexico. On the 5th, the US government suspended
00:15:09the activities of US personnel in Michoacán, Mexico,
00:15:13citing threats to US interests. This includes the inspection work
00:15:17required for avocado exports, which was also halted, forcing
00:15:21a temporary cessation of exports. Mexico supplies 80%
00:15:25of the avocados imported by the US, and Michoacán is known as the avocado
00:15:29capital of the world. The US move has left local avocado growers
00:15:33worried. The
00:15:35US Embassy in Mexico did not elaborate on the specific nature
00:15:39of the so-called threats to US interests in its security alert.
00:15:43However, the governor of Michoacán, Bedolla, stated that there
00:15:47had been several arrests related to extortion, and that the suspension
00:15:51of related work was a precautionary measure taken by the US.
00:15:54He emphasized that the local government is maintaining close
00:15:58communication with the security department of the US Embassy in Mexico,
00:16:02hoping that the inspection work required for avocado exports can
00:16:06be resumed as soon as possible. Mexican
00:16:54President de familias afectadas en este momento y
00:16:58preocupadas que dependen de la industria aguacatera de saber qué es lo que
00:17:01va pasar o qué vamos hacer y pues imagínense tan
00:17:05solamente si nos
00:17:11The U.S. diplomatic mission stated that Michoacán remains a Level 4 travel
00:17:15advisory area, corresponding to "Do Not Travel" advice. This
00:17:19is the highest risk level issued by the U.S. State Department.
00:17:23This is not the first time avocado inspections in the state
00:17:26have been interrupted due to security issues. Similar situations occurred in 2022 and
00:17:302024. It is currently unclear when inspections and shipments
00:17:33will resume.
00:17:37The industry alone created 200,000 jobs in Michoacán.
00:17:41In 2025, Mexico exported avocados worth
00:17:45$3.65 billion to the United States. In the first four months of this
00:17:49year, exports of this product increased by 35%
00:17:52compared to the same period last year. This is the end of this
