特朗普签署“大而美”法案

Legoland Shanghai Resort, the city's newest theme park and the world's largest Legoland park, has significantly driven up bookings at nearby hotels and boosted consumption growth in surrounding areas after its opening on Saturday.上海乐高乐园度假区是上海最新的主题公园，也是全球最大的乐高乐园。自周六开园以来，它极大地带动了周边酒店的预订量，并促进了周边地区的消费增长。So far this summer, 70 percent of hotel bookings in the city's Jinshan district — where the resort is located — were made by travelers from other regions of the country, while bookings made by locals accounted for more than 50 percent last year, said Qunar, a Beijing-based online travel agency.总部位于北京的在线旅行社去哪儿网表示，今年夏天到目前为止，该度假区所在的上海金山区，70% 的酒店预订来自全国其他地区的游客，而去年本地游客的预订占比超过 50%。Travelers who booked hotel rooms near Legoland mainly came from Shanghai; Beijing; Qingdao, Shandong province; Chengdu, Sichuan province; and Nanjing, Jiangsu province, Qunar said. Many hotels near the theme park said they offer complimentary shuttle services and luggage storage services for holidaymakers.去哪儿网称，预订乐高乐园附近酒店客房的游客主要来自上海、北京、山东青岛、四川成都和江苏南京。乐园附近的许多酒店表示，它们为游客提供免费的班车服务和行李寄存服务。"Summer has been the peak season for travelers going to theme parks, and the popularity of theme parks is expected to have an even more prominent impact on boosting consumption growth of surrounding hotels, restaurants and other amenities," said Chen Xiaoshuang, a researcher at Qunar.去哪儿网研究员陈晓双表示：“夏季一直是主题公园旅游的旺季，主题公园的热度预计将对带动周边酒店、餐饮及其他配套设施的消费增长产生更为显著的影响。”Nationwide, booking volumes for admission tickets at domestic theme parks so far this summer jumped 70 percent on a yearly basis, according to the online travel agency.据该在线旅行社称，今年夏天到目前为止，全国范围内国内主题公园的门票预订量同比增长了 70%。Besides Legoland, theme parks — especially those with popular brand cachets — have been the driving engines of surrounding economies. For instance, bookings of hotels and bed-and-breakfasts near Universal Studios Beijing and Shanghai Disneyland jumped nearly 40 percent over last summer, Qunar said.去哪儿网表示，除了乐高乐园，主题公园 —— 尤其是那些拥有热门品牌影响力的主题公园 —— 一直是周边经济的驱动引擎。例如，北京环球度假区和上海迪士尼乐园附近的酒店及民宿预订量较去年夏天增长了近 40%。"A theme park can bring more fashionable and modern elements to an ancient city and add new vitality," said Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy.中国旅游研究院院长戴斌表示：“一座主题公园能够为古城带来更多时尚现代元素，注入新的活力。”Zhongmu county in Zhengzhou, Henan province, was originally known for its abundance of crops such as watermelon and garlic. Now it is home to eight theme parks, including Zhengzhou Haichang Ocean Park and Zhengzhou Fantawild Adventure. So far this summer, hotel booking volumes in Zhongmu surged 50-fold over the same period of 2019, Qunar added.河南省郑州市中牟县原本以盛产西瓜、大蒜等农作物闻名。如今，这里拥有 8 个主题公园，包括郑州海昌海洋公园和郑州方特欢乐世界。去哪儿网补充说，今年夏天到目前为止，中牟县的酒店预订量较 2019 年同期激增了 50 倍。The Zhongmu government said the county would like to further stimulate its vitality based on the popularity of tourism. By 2026, the county plans to build a comprehensive modern industrial system that includes cultural and creative tourism, advanced manufacturing and modern biopharmaceuticals.中牟县政府表示，将依托旅游业的热度进一步激发县域活力。到 2026 年，该县计划构建包含文化创意旅游、高端制造和现代生物医药在内的综合性现代产业体系。"If a theme park generates revenues of 1 yuan (14 cents), it can drive a city's income by 3.8 yuan, thus propelling the incomes of upstream and downstream industries by 6-15 yuan. In addition to its own income, a theme park can make significant contributions to a city," said Lin Huanjie, director of the Institute for Theme Park Studies in China.中国主题公园研究院院长林焕杰表示：“主题公园每产生 1 元收入，就能带动城市收入 3.8 元，进而拉动上下游产业收入 6 至 15 元。除了自身收入外，主题公园还能为城市做出重大贡献。”boom /buːm/ 繁荣，激增surge /sɜːdʒ/ 急剧上升，猛增cachet /ˈkæʃeɪ/ 威望，声誉vitality /vaɪˈtæləti/ 活力，生命力

 US President Donald Trump said Monday on social media that 25-percent tariffs will be imposed on imports from Japan and the Republic of Korea, respectively, beginning Aug 1.纽约-美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周一在社交媒体上表示，从8月1日开始，将分别对来自日本和韩国的进口商品征收25%的关税。In his letters addressed to the leaders of the two countries, Trump said the new tariffs will be separate from all other sectoral tariffs.特朗普在致两国领导人的信中表示，新关税将与所有其他部门关税分开。Later on, he announced that similar letters were sent to the leaders of 12 other countries, namely Malaysia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Myanmar, Laos, Tunisia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina , Cambodia, and Thailand, informing them that tariffs ranging 25 percent to 40 percent will be charged starting next month.随后，他宣布已向马来西亚、哈萨克斯坦、南非、缅甸、老挝、突尼斯、印度尼西亚、孟加拉国、塞尔维亚、波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那（波黑）、柬埔寨和泰国等12个国家的领导人发出类似信函，通知他们将从下个月开始征收25%至40%的关税。The tariffs rate on Malaysia, Kazakhstan and Tunisia will be 25 percent, and it will be 30 percent for South Africa and BiH. Indonesia will face a tariffs rate of 32 percent, and Bangladesh and Serbia will see 35 percent. Tariffs rate on Cambodia and Thailand will be 36 percent, and for Laos and Myanmar it will be as high as 40 percent.马来西亚、哈萨克斯坦和突尼斯的关税税率将为25%，南非和波黑的关税税率为30%。印尼将面临32%的关税，孟加拉国和塞尔维亚将面临35%的关税。柬埔寨和泰国的关税将为36%，老挝和缅甸的关税将高达40%。In the almost identical letters, Trump asked leaders of these countries to understand that the tariffs rates number "is far less than what is needed to eliminate the Trade Deficit disparity we have with your Country."在几乎相同的信件中，特朗普要求这些国家的领导人明白，关税率数字“远低于消除我们与贵国贸易逆差差距所需的数字”Trump warned that if these countries raise their tariffs in response, the United States will increase its tariffs by the same amount.特朗普警告说，如果这些国家提高关税作为回应，美国将以相同的幅度提高关税。He said that there will be no tariff if these countries or their companies decide to build or manufacture products within the United States, and that "in fact, we will do everything possible to get approvals quickly, professionally, and routinely -- In other words, in a matter of weeks."他说，如果这些国家或其公司决定在美国境内生产或制造产品，将不会征收关税，“事实上，我们将尽一切可能快速、专业和常规地获得批准——换句话说，在几周内。”He also said that "if you wish to open your heretofore closed Trading Markets to the United States, and eliminate your Tariff, and Non Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers, we will, perhaps, consider an adjustment to this letter."他还说，“如果你想向美国开放迄今为止关闭的贸易市场，消除关税、非关税、政策和贸易壁垒，我们也许会考虑调整这封信。”White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday afternoon that Trump plans to issue an executive order to extend the pause on "reciprocal tariffs" from July 9 to Aug 1.白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特周一下午表示，特朗普计划发布一项行政命令，将暂停“互惠关税”的时间从7月9日延长至8月1日。"So, the reciprocal tariff rate or these new rates that will be provided in this correspondence to these foreign leaders will be going out the door within the next month or deals will be made," said Leavitt.莱维特说：“因此，在给这些外国领导人的信件中提供的互惠关税税率或这些新税率将在下个月内出台，否则将达成协议。”。On Wednesday, Trump said that the United States had struck a trade deal with Vietnam that includes a 20-percent tariff on the Southeast Asian country's exports to the United States.周三，特朗普表示，美国与越南达成了一项贸易协议，其中包括对这个东南亚国家对美国的出口征收20%的关税。reciprocal tariffsn.互惠关税/rɪˈsɪprəkl ˈtærɪfs/sectoral tariffs.n.部门关税/ˈsɛktərəl ˈtærɪfs/

Different movies need to find their right audiences—that's how a sustainable industry can be built and kept growing," Rao said.饶说：“一个健康而成熟的市场不仅仅是像《哪吒2》这样的热门电影，而是所有类型的高质量电影源源不断地涌现。不同的电影需要找到合适的观众，这就是一个可持续的产业如何建立和保持增长。”。Propelled by the summer blockbusters, this year's box office has reached 29.9 billion yuan, according to live tracker Beacon.据实时追踪公司Beacon称，在夏季大片的推动下，今年的票房已达到299亿元。Chen Jin, a veteran analyst at Beacon's research institute, said that the industry expects the summer season to boost morale and accelerate recovery.Beacon研究所资深分析师陈进表示，业界预计夏季将提振士气，加快复苏。domestic violencen.家庭暴力/dəˈmɛstɪk ˈvaɪələns/blockbustern.大轰动/ˈblɒkbʌstər/

The future of China-United States relations lies with young people, President Xi Jinping said in a recent reply to teachers and students of the US youth pickleball cultural exchange delegation from the US state of Maryland. In April, the delegation from public schools in Montgomery County, Maryland, visited China for pickleball exchanges as part of the initiative to invite 50,000 young Americans to China over a five-year span for exchange and study programs. The delegation later wrote a letter to Xi, thanking him for proposing the study and exchange initiative, which was first announced by Xi during his trip to the US in 2023.In the letter, the delegation members described their experiences during their visit to China and their participation in the pickleball exchange program. They said the trip enabled them to forge unforgettable friendships with their Chinese counterparts and that they hope to invite Chinese youths to visit the US.In his reply, Xi congratulated them on the success of their visit to China and said he is very happy to see pickleball become a new bond bridging the youths of China and the US. Xi said that he hopes the delegation members will become a new generation of ambassadors of friendship between the two nations and make greater contributions to enhancing the friendship between the two peoples.Pickleball, a rapidly growing sport in the US, is a hybrid of tennis, badminton and table tennis. From April 10 to 20, the delegation of 44 students and teachers from 13 schools in Montgomery County visited Shanghai, Shenzhen in Guangdong province, and Beijing, according to Xinhua News Agency. "Through pickleball, it is very easy to make friends. It's great for creating bonds that will last forever," Ryan Corkery, a student with the delegation, told Chinese reporters during the trip. "This journey has been amazing," he added. "We have tasted so many new foods, had so many new experiences, everything is just fantastic."Ian Harper, another student with the delegation, said: "It is awesome just seeing both how different everything here is and how much similar it is. I think both of those were really shocking to me. It has been just an incredible, life-changing, amazing, awesome experience."As part of his consistent support for China-US youth exchanges, President Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, replied on Jan 1 to a Chinese New Year greeting card from teachers and students of Lincoln High School in Tacoma, Washington, extending best wishes for the Year of the Dragon. Xie Feng, Chinese ambassador to the US, told a cultural event on Jan 11 that nearly 15,000 youths from all 50 US states and Washington, DC, had so far visited China under the initiative to invite 50,000 young Americans to China for exchanges. From Wednesday to July 18, Fu­zhou, the capital of Fujian province, and Beijing will provide venues for the Bond with Kuliang: 2025 China-US Youth Choir Festival — another major China-US youth exchange event. The event is expected to bring together outstanding choirs from China and the US, including over 500 young people from US states including Utah, Washington and California.

Afleet of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy led by the aircraft carrier Shandong made its first visit to Hong Kong, a move widely seen as not only a demonstration of military strength but also a step toward deepening ties between Hong Kong and the mainland.由山东号航空母舰率领的中国人民解放军海军舰队首次访问香港，此举被广泛视为不仅展示了军事实力，也是深化香港与内地关系的一步。The naval fleet, comprising the aircraft carrier Shandong, the Yan'an missile destroyer, the Zhanjiang missile destroyer, and the Yuncheng missile frigate, arrived in Hong Kong on Thursday to begin a five-day visit.由山东号航空母舰、延安导弹驱逐舰、湛江导弹驱逐舰和运城导弹护卫舰组成的海军舰队于周四抵达香港，开始为期五天的访问。On the day the naval fleet arrived, hundreds — if not thousands — of Hong Kong residents gathered along the shore to watch. Local media rushed to cover the story.海军舰队抵达当天，数百名（如果不是数千名的话）香港居民聚集在岸边观看。当地媒体争相报道此事。Chief executive of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region John Lee said that both the steadfast presence of the PLA garrison in Hong Kong and the cordial visit by the modernized naval fleet have made the "Pearl of the Orient" shine brighter, reflecting the country's ability and determination in safeguarding peace, while allowing Hong Kong, under "one country, two systems," to continue to play its part in the nation's development.中国香港特别行政区行政长官John Lee说，解放军驻港部队的坚守和现代化海军舰队的亲切访问，使“东方之珠”更加璀璨，体现了国家维护和平的能力和决心，也使香港在“一国两制”下继续为国家发展发挥作用。Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR government Chan Kwok-ki attended the deckreception on the Shandong aircraft carrier. He believed the visit by the naval fleet allowed the wider public in Hong Kong to witness the strength of the country's military and would help enhance students' sense of national identity and pride.香港特区政府政务司司长陈国基出席山东航空母舰甲板招待会。他相信，海军舰队的访问让香港的广大公众见证了国家军队的实力，并将有助于增强学生的民族认同感和自豪感。Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR government Cheuk Wing-hing shared on social media that he toured the ski-jump flight deck, arresting cables, carrier-based fighter jets, and helicopters aboard the Shandong.香港特区政府政务司副司长卓永兴在社交媒体上分享，他参观了山东号上的跳台滑雪飞行甲板、拦阻索、舰载战斗机和直升机。"The rapid progress of our country's national defense is truly remarkable," Cheuk said. "I am deeply moved and feel proud of our nation."卓说：“我国国防建设的快速发展确实令人瞩目。”。“我深受感动，为我们的国家感到自豪。”The Shandong aircraft carrier was open to the public for visits.

More than 10,000 visits were made aboard the Shandong, Zhanjiang, and Yuncheng ships.星期五是船队访问香港的第一个开放日，重点是学生游客。山东、湛江和运城的船只共接待了10000多名游客。"My ancestral home is Shandong.

Our country has truly become strong!" a lecturer at Hong Kong Metropolitan University surnamed Wong said.香港都会大学一位姓王的讲师说：“我的祖籍是山东。当我第一次踏上甲板时，我忍不住哭了。我们的国家真的变得强大了！”。Some secondary school students from Macao were organized by their schools to travel to Hong Kong for the visit. They happily toured the ships while taking photos with their smartphones to share with classmates who missed the visit. They said that boarding the warships was more than just a visit; it allowed them to witness the long history of China and the country's remarkable progress.部分来自澳门的中学生由学校组织前往香港参观。他们愉快地参观了船只，同时用智能手机拍照，与错过参观的同学分享。他们说，登上军舰不仅仅是一次访问；它让他们见证了中国悠久的历史和国家的显著进步。Seeing the modern carrier-based fighter jets and the spirited,high-morale crew aboard the vessels left a deep impression on Paul Chan, financial secretary of the HKSAR government.看到现代化的舰载战斗机和船上士气高昂的船员，给香港特别行政区政府财政司司长陈茂波留下了深刻的印象。Chan said that the visit by the naval fleet fully reflected the country's deep affection for Hong Kong. "A strong nation must have a strong military, and our country's navy will only grow stronger," he remarked.陈说，海军舰队的访问充分体现了国家对香港的深厚感情。他说：“一个强大的国家必须拥有强大的军队，我们国家的海军只会越来越强大。”。"Stepping aboard the domestically built aircraft carrier Shandong and standing on the deck of this steel giant filled me with excitement," Jeffrey Lam, a member of the Executive Council of the HKSAR, said.香港特别行政区行政会议成员林健锋表示：“登上国产航母山东号，站在这艘钢铁巨头的甲板上，我感到非常兴奋。”。Just as the Shandong sailed forward with strength and determination, Hong Kong, with the support of the country, will surely overcome all challenges and continue to enjoy prosperity and stability, Lam added.林补充说，正如山东以坚强和决心向前航行一样，香港在国家的支持下，必将战胜一切挑战，继续享有繁荣稳定。naval fleetn.海军舰队/ˈneɪvəl fliːt/aircraft carriern.航空母舰/ˈeəkrɑːft ˈkæriə/

The education ministry has partnered with the Communist Youth League of China Central Committee to run a one-on-one mentorship program that pairs university staff with vulnerable graduates. As of June 27, nearly 10,000 graduates had received personalized support.重点关注低收入家庭毕业生和残疾毕业生。教育部与共青团中央合作开展一对一导师帮扶计划，安排高校工作人员与困境毕业生结对。截至 6 月 27 日，已有近 1 万名毕业生获得个性化帮扶。With financial backing from the Ministry of Finance, the education ministry is also expanding a program that provides training and job placement services.

Bolstered by sustained policy support for trade-in programs, China's consumption is likely to continue its robust growth momentum in the second half of the year, better underpinning the country's stable economic growth amid mounting external uncertainties, analysts said.分析人士表示，在对以旧换新项目的持续政策支持的推动下，中国的消费可能会在今年下半年继续保持强劲的增长势头，在外部不确定性日益增加的情况下更好地支撑该国的稳定经济增长。China still has ample fiscal headroom to reinforce its trade-in initiative later this year should consumer demand exhaust its initial 300 billion yuan ($42 billion) allocation, they said, emphasizing that similar policy incentives could be extended to the service sector to foster more sustainable consumption growth.他们表示，如果消费者需求耗尽其最初的3000亿元人民币（420亿美元）的拨款，中国仍有充足的财政空间来加强其以旧换新计划，并强调类似的政策激励措施可以扩展到服务业，以促进更可持续的消费增长。On Tuesday, the Ministry of Finance announced the issuance of 11 ultra-long-term treasury bonds in the third quarter, with four of them seeing their timelines accelerated compared with the previous plan released in April. This will help maintain a continuous flow of funding to support policies meant to boost consumption, analysts said.周二，财政部宣布在第三季度发行11只超长期国债，其中4只的发行时间比4月份发布的计划提前。分析人士表示，这将有助于保持持续的资金流动，以支持旨在促进消费的政策。According to the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic regulator, the third group of fiscal funding through ultra-long-term treasury bonds for the consumer goods trade-in program is scheduled to be allocated in July.周二，财政部宣布在第三季度发行11只超长期国债，其中4只的发行时间比4月份发布的计划提前。分析人士表示，这将有助于保持持续的资金流动，以支持旨在促进消费的政策。The central government has earmarked 300 billion yuan in ultra-long-term treasury bonds to support the trade-in program for the whole year. The first two groups of fiscal funding, totaling 162 billion yuan, were allocated in January and April.中央政府已指定3000亿元人民币的超长期国债，以支持全年的置换计划。前两批财政资金共计1620亿元，分别于1月和4月拨付。"If the remaining 138 billion yuan runs out ahead of schedule, the possibility of unveiling additional funding this year cannot be ruled out," said Zhao Wei, chief economist at Shenwan Hongyuan Securities.申万宏源证券首席经济学家赵表示：“如果剩余的1380亿元提前用完，今年不排除推出额外资金的可能性。”。"As the trade war initiated by the United States still weighs on China's economy, efforts to shore up domestic demand will be of paramount importance to mitigate external shocks and maintain steady growth," he said.他说：“由于美国发起的贸易战仍对中国经济造成压力，提振内需对于缓解外部冲击和保持稳定增长至关重要。”。By avoiding a one-time, large-scale fund injection that could disrupt market dynamics, the phased allocation of the fiscal funds helps create a stable and supportive environment for the consumption recovery to take hold throughout the year, Zhao added.赵补充道，通过避免可能扰乱市场动态的一次性大规模资金注入，财政资金的分阶段分配有助于为全年的消费复苏创造稳定和支持性的环境。In late June, the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, also pledged to leverage various tools in support of the trade-in programs, such as increasing credit support for recycling companies and home renovation suppliers and fast-track financing for manufacturers of energy-efficient smart home products.6月下旬，中国央行中国人民银行还承诺利用各种工具支持以旧换新计划，例如增加对回收公司和家居装修供应商的信贷支持，以及为节能智能家居产品制造商提供快速融资。"Boosted by the trade-in programs, sales of household appliances, furniture and communication devices have registered rapid growth. Sales related to trade-ins have surpassed 1.4 trillion yuan so far this year," said Li Chao, a spokeswoman for the National Development and Reform Commission, when addressing a news conference on June 26.国家发展和改革委员会发言人李超在6月26日的新闻发布会上表示：“在以旧换新计划的推动下，家用电器、家具和通信设备的销售额实现了快速增长。今年到目前为止，与以旧换旧相关的销售额已超过1.4万亿元。”。According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, China's consumer spending in May posted its strongest monthly growth since 2024, with retail sales of consumer goods expanding 6.4 percent year-on-year in May, a 1.3 percentage point increase from April.根据国家统计局的数据，中国5月份的消费支出出现了2024年以来最强劲的月度增长，5月份消费品零售额同比增长6.4%，比4月份增长1.3个百分点。Experts cautioned that although the trade-in policies have been effective in driving sales of consumers goods, they also carry the risk of front-loading consumer demand, which could create challenges down the line.专家警告称，尽管以旧换新政策有效地推动了消费品的销售，但它们也带来了提前满足消费者需求的风险，这可能会在未来带来挑战。"Providing similar consumption incentives to promote service sector spending could become a key policy lever going forward," said Jiang Zhao, an associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation.中国国际贸易经济合作研究院副研究员江赵表示：“提供类似的消费激励措施来促进服务业支出，可能会成为未来的一个关键政策杠杆。”。Jiang noted that development patterns in advanced economies indicate that upon entering high-income status, nations typically experience a gradual rise in the proportion of service consumption. As China approaches this threshold, its consumption structure is transitioning from being focused on goods to being focused on both goods and services, he said.江指出，发达经济体的发展模式表明，进入高收入国家后，服务消费的比例通常会逐渐上升。他说，随着中国接近这一门槛，其消费结构正在从以商品为重点转变为以商品和服务为重点。Nevertheless, service consumption spans diverse sectors such as elderly care, tourism, fitness and healthcare, implying that subsidy programs would demand substantial fiscal funding and pose significant oversight challenges, Jiang said, adding that any decision to implement such incentives would require prudent assessment based on practical conditions.然而，江表示，服务消费涵盖了养老、旅游、健身和医疗保健等多个领域，这意味着补贴计划将需要大量的财政资金，并带来重大的监管挑战。他补充说，任何实施此类激励措施的决定都需要根据实际情况进行审慎评估。fast-track financingn.快速融资consumption structuren.消费结构

China's aviation regulator has banned uncertified power banks on domestic flights, citing urgent safety concerns over fires and other hazards linked to lithium batteries, State media reported on Wednesday.据官方媒体周三报道，中国航空监管机构以对锂电池相关火灾和其他危险的紧急安全担忧为由，禁止未经认证的充电宝乘坐国内航班。The Civil Aviation Administration of China told People's Daily that quality issues with lithium batteries in power banks have threatened aviation safety, prompting the move. The ban, which took effect on Saturday, applies to power banks without valid China Compulsory Certification — known as 3C — those with unclear 3C labels or those subject to product recalls.中国民用航空局告诉《人民日报》，移动电源锂电池的质量问题已经威胁到航空安全，促使采取了这一行动。该禁令于周六生效，适用于没有有效的中国强制认证（即3C）的电力银行，即3C标签不清楚或产品被召回的电力银行。The 3C certification is a mandatory safety and quality standard for products sold in China. For power banks, it ensures they do not pose risks of fire, electric shock or other hazards. The country began 3C certification for power banks on Aug 1, 2023, and sales of products without the certification have been prohibited since Aug 1 last year.3C认证是在中国销售的产品的强制性安全和质量标准。对于移动电源，它确保它们不会造成火灾、触电或其他危险。该国于2023年8月1日开始对移动电源进行3C认证，自去年8月1日起禁止销售未经认证的产品。The administration said the measure follows a surge in incidents globally involving fires and smoke from lithium batteries on aircraft, including 15 cases in China's aviation sector this year. In one incident on Jan 28, a fire broke out on an Air Busan flight due to a passenger's power bank, damaging the aircraft.美国政府表示，该措施是在全球范围内涉及飞机锂电池火灾和烟雾的事件激增之后采取的，其中包括今年中国航空业的15起案件。在1月28日的一起事件中，釜山航空的一架航班因一名乘客的移动电源发生火灾，导致飞机受损。Lithium batteries are prone to risks under external factors such as high temperatures, pressure and collisions, which can lead to internal short circuits and excessive heat. This can trigger thermal runaway in the battery, resulting in fires or explosions that are difficult to extinguish, the regulator said.美国政府表示，该措施是在全球范围内涉及飞机锂电池火灾和烟雾的事件激增之后采取的，其中包括今年中国航空业的15起案件。在1月28日的一起事件中，釜山航空的一架航班因一名乘客的移动电源发生火灾，导致飞机受损。A recent report from China's market regulation authority found that out of 149 batches of power banks inspected, 65 were substandard, the administration noted.政府指出，中国市场监管机构最近的一份报告发现，在检查的149批电力银行中，有65批不合格。A staff member at Beijing Capital International Airport told China Daily that passengers carrying power banks must now show 3C marks at security checks, and devices under recall will not be allowed through. Power banks under 100 watt-hours can be carried onboard, while those between 100 and 160 watt-hours require airline approval. Devices exceeding 160 watt-hours are prohibited.北京首都国际机场的一名工作人员告诉《中国日报》，携带电动银行的乘客现在必须在安检时出示3C标志，被召回的设备将不允许通过。100瓦时以下的移动电源可以携带登机，而100至160瓦时之间的移动电源需要航空公司的批准。禁止使用超过160瓦时的设备。Noncompliant power banks found during checks will be handled according to passengers' preferences, the administration said. Airports will provide areas for passengers to abandon or temporarily store their devices, along with mailing services for those who wish to send them home.政府表示，在检查过程中发现的不合规移动电源将根据乘客的喜好进行处理。机场将为乘客提供丢弃或临时存放设备的区域，并为希望将设备送回家的乘客提供邮寄服务。Power banks abandoned or left beyond storage deadlines will be destroyed or recycled after consultation with battery recovery companies, the administration said. Records will be maintained throughout storage, transfer and recycling to ensure traceability and prevent unauthorized devices from reentering the market.政府表示，在与电池回收公司协商后，废弃或超过储存期限的移动电源将被销毁或回收。记录将在整个储存、转移和回收过程中得到维护，以确保可追溯性，防止未经授权的设备重新进入市场。lithium batteriesn.锂电池traceabilityn.可追溯性
