1、Weight of yuan raised as global currency

人民币作为全球货币的比重上升

The International Monetary Fund's decision to raise the renminbi's weight in a key global reserve asset marked the steady progress of the renminbi's internationalization, reflecting the currency's growing global heft and the achievement of China's financial opening-up, industry experts said.

业内专家表示，国际货币基金组织决定提高人民币在一项关键全球储备资产中的权重，标志着人民币国际化的稳步进展，反映了人民币日益增长的全球影响力和中国金融开放的成就。

The SDR valuation review, completed on Wednesday, marked the first review since the renminbi was included in the SDR basket in 2016, with a share of 10.92 percent, the central bank said.Effective on Aug 1, the weight increase will allow the renminbi to continue to account for the third-largest share in the basket, behind only the US dollar and the euro but ranking higher than the Japanese yen and the British pound.

央行表示，周三完成的特别提款权估值评估，是自2016年人民币被纳入特别提款权篮子以来的首次评估，其份额为百分之十点久而。自8月1日起，人民币权重的提高将使人民币继续在货币篮子中占据第三大份额，仅次于美元和欧元，但高于日元和英镑。

The weight increase reflected that renminbi internationalization has made steady headway thanks to China's growing heft in the global economic, trade and financial landscape, said Zhang Xiaotao, dean of the School of International Trade and Economics at the Central University of Finance and Economics.

中央财经大学国际贸易与经济学院院长张晓涛表示:“权重的增加反映出，由于中国在全球经济、贸易和金融领域的影响力不断增强，人民币国际化已取得稳步进展。”

2、Automakers borrowing Musk's strategy to expand in market

汽车制造商借用马斯克的战略来扩大市场

The business plan Elon Musk wrote 16 years ago for Tesla goes like this: create a low volume car, which would sell at an expensive price; use that money to develop a medium volume car at a lower price; use that money to create an affordable, high volume car; and provide solar power.

埃隆•马斯克十六年前为特斯拉撰写的商业计划是这样的:生产低产量的汽车，售价昂贵;用这些钱开发价格更低的中型汽车;用这些钱来制造价格合理、销量大的汽车;并提供太阳能。

Now their major Chinese rivals are taking similar steps, or at least the first three of them, to be specific, to explore the vast potential in the volume car segment of the country's new energy vehicle market. New York-listed Nio said last week it will roll out more affordable vehicles in two years to take on international carmakers including Tesla and Volkswagen.

现在，它们在中国的主要竞争对手也在采取类似的措施，具体来说，至少是前三家，以探索中国新能源汽车市场的量产汽车领域的巨大潜力。在纽约上市的蔚来汽车上周表示，将在两年内推出更实惠的汽车，以“与特斯拉和大众等国际汽车制造商较量”。

Statistics from the China Passenger Car Association show NEVs accounted for 48.8 percent of Chinese carmakers' sales, the figure was 5.5 percent for premium brands including Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and it was only 3.7 percent for volume brands like Volkswagen, Ford and Toyota.

中国乘用车协会的数据显示，新能源汽车占中国汽车制造商销量的百分之四十八点八，包括梅赛德斯奔驰和宝马在内的高端品牌占百分之五点五，而大众、福特和丰田等量产品牌仅占百分之三点七。

Electric cars have been seizing the lion's share in China's NEV market. Statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers show that 1.53 million passenger NEVs were sold in the first four months this year, of which 1.21 million were electric cars. The association expects total NEV deliveries to reach 5 million this year.

电动汽车一直占据着中国新能源汽车市场的最大份额。中国汽车工业协会的数据显示，今年前4个月，乘用车新能源汽车销量为一百五十三万辆，其中电动汽车销量为一百二十一万辆。该协会预计，今年新能源汽车总交付量将达到五百万辆。

3、Poverty reduction cooperation is a pillar of China-ASEAN relations

减贫合作是中国和东盟关系的支柱

Since the dialogue relations were established between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in 1991, bilateral cooperation in poverty reduction has made remarkable achievements.

中国与东盟自1991年建立对话关系以来，双方在减贫领域的合作取得了显著成就。

China-ASEAN cooperation on poverty reduction has witnessed the continued efforts of both sides throughout the past 30 years. Since 2003, China and ASEAN have formulated a series of cooperation plans on poverty reduction, included in the Joint Declaration on ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity  and action plans from 2005 till today. These plans provided goals and guidance for cooperative efforts in practice.

30年来，中国-东盟减贫合作经历了双方不懈努力。2003年以来，中国与东盟制定了一系列减贫合作计划，包括《中国—东盟面向和平与繁荣的战略伙伴关系联合宣言》和2005年至今的行动计划。这些计划为实践中的合作努力提供了目标和指导。

As China and ASEAN have strengthened their trade and economic ties, the market has played an increasingly important role in poverty reduction. China has been ASEAN's largest trade partner for years, with the total two-way trade volume in goods exceeding $878.2 billion in 2021.

随着中国和东盟经贸关系的不断加强，市场在减贫方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。中国连续多年成为东盟第一大贸易伙伴，2021年双方货物贸易额超过8782亿美元。

China's direct investment in ASEAN has also grown rapidly, reaching $14.35 billion in 2021 and it accumulated to $300 billion bilaterally over the past 30 years.

中国对东盟直接投资也快速增长，2021年达到一百四十三点五亿美元，30年来双边投资累计达到三千亿美元。

Trade and investment have accelerated local development and helped alleviate poverty. Investment in infrastructure has significantly contributed to economic development, job creation and stable energy supplies, generating additional income sources and improving the quality of life for the poor.

贸易和投资加快了当地的发展，帮助缓解了贫困。基础设施投资大大促进了经济发展、创造就业机会和稳定的能源供应，创造了额外的收入来源，提高了穷人的生活质量。

In addition, cooperation in agricultural technology has dramatically increased productivity, helping to ease food shortages.

此外，农业技术方面的合作大大提高了生产力，有助于缓解粮食短缺。
