CCTV News: Guangdong is the largest province in China's total economic output. Since the beginning of this year, Guangdong has been focusing on the "real economy", highlighting the "manufacturing industry as the leader", promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, enhancing the development level of emerging industries, and promoting high-quality economic development. Taking major industrial projects as the starting point to promote industrial acceleration has become one of the ways for Guangdong to seek new breakthroughs at present. In the Guangzhou Development Zone, each project not only has a "service specialist", but also has its own "appeal file box" to track services and accelerate the construction of major projects. From integrated circuits to new materials, major projects have started one after another, presenting a distinct characteristic of Guangdong's "manufacturing priority".

According to reports, after the most severe disaster in modern Hawaiian history, the working class living on Maui Island are taking action themselves, becoming emergency responders and commanders in response to difficulties.

Kabul, August 16 (Xinhua) -- The pain of the second anniversary of the US military withdrawal still lingers in Afghanistan. In August 2021, the United States ended a 20-year long war in Afghanistan, and its hasty withdrawal led to chaos in the local situation, adding insult to injury to this war-torn country. Now, it has been two years since the United States fell into the "Kabul moment". The US military has indiscriminately killed innocent people in Afghanistan for 20 years, causing huge disasters and lasting pain to the local people. The mess left by the US still poses numerous challenges to the peaceful reconstruction of Afghanistan. On August 16, 2021, at Kabul International Airport, a US C-17 transport plane forcibly took off disregarding the safety of Afghan civilians. Some people were crushed alive by the retracted landing gear in the wheel well, while others were crushed from high altitude

Recently, some EU politicians have claimed that "the trade relationship between China and Europe is very unbalanced, China has a huge trade surplus, and China's market openness is not commensurate with the EU." They have also solemnly urged China to reduce "trade barriers.". This statement clearly distorts and deviates from the objective fact of mutual benefit and win-win in China Europe's economic and trade. China never deliberately pursues a trade surplus. The trade surplus between China and Europe is an objective result of the combined effects of industrial structure, industrial division of labor, trade methods, and external factors. For a long time, China and the EU have been important trading partners with strong industrial complementarity. The EU has always been China's largest source of technology introduction, and the EU market also needs goods and services from China. After years of development, China and Europe have formed a strong economic symbiotic relationship, which not only conforms to the laws of market development, but also

Yushu City, Jilin Province, is the most populous county-level city in Jilin Province and also a major agricultural county. It is known as the country's top grain producing county. Due to the strongest rainfall process since the flood season and the impact of floods in the upper reaches of the Lalin River, some towns in Yushu have been severely affected, with a large amount of farmland flooded and villagers having to relocate. As the floods gradually recede, homes need to be rebuilt and food production needs to be restored. The various difficulties faced can be imagined. What is the situation with the elm tree?

Recently, due to the impact of typhoons, extreme heavy rainfall has occurred in North China, Huanghuai, Northeast and other areas, causing damage to vegetable facilities and flooding of vegetable fields. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs recently issued an emergency notice, requiring all levels of agricultural and rural departments to strengthen guidance and effectively carry out disaster prevention and reduction as well as autumn and winter vegetable production. The "vegetable basket" is closely related to the daily life of the people, and is related to the stability of prices. It cannot tolerate any carelessness. Given the adverse impact of extreme weather on the current local vegetable supply and the significant pressure it will bring to ensuring the supply and stable prices of autumn and winter vegetables nationwide, various regions need to effectively improve their political stance, strengthen the mayoral responsibility system for "vegetable baskets", and make vegetable stable production and supply an important task in agricultural and rural work. Efforts should be made to coordinate production development, production and sales connection, circulation and transportation, market regulation, quality and safety, stabilize the people's "vegetable baskets", and protect them well

Currently, rural tourism has become a new trend in the development of global tourism industry. China regards the development of rural tourism as an effective way to eliminate poverty. I have visited China multiple times and witnessed the continuous improvement of rural infrastructure in China. China is the world's second largest economy and one of the largest tourism markets.

China has achieved the significant achievement of eliminating absolute poverty and is focusing on promoting rural revitalization. Developing rural tourism will help achieve this goal. In rural China, we see that the inclusiveness, balance, and sustainability of China's economic and social development are constantly increasing, and different groups are receiving more balanced development resources. Starting from 2021, the United Nations World Tourism Organization will hold

The international public opinion has responded positively to this, believing that the 24 policy measures introduced "balance macro and micro aspects", "provide convenience for foreign businesses in China in terms of details", and "help boost the economy". These fully demonstrate that despite the rise of global protectionism and individual countries pushing for decoupling and disconnection, all parties still yearn to promote opening up and cooperation, and look forward to sharing China's opportunities. China, which continues to expand its high-level opening-up to the outside world, has a strong attraction. We still believe that

The report states that the Lithuanian government did not provide detailed information or threats regarding these two border crossing points.
