A | (ECNS) -- Retired U.S. teacher Ronald Sakolsky, who once donated $5,000 to support China's desertification control efforts 26 years ago, reunited on Sunday with his Chinese friend Yin Yuzhen, a desertification fighter in Ordos, Inner Mongolia. Their story began in 1999, when Sakolsky taught English at a school in Henan Province under a teacher exchange program between the two countries. After watching a television news report about Yin's tireless work, he was deeply moved and raised the $5,000 to help Yin and her husband in their afforestation campaign. Yin spent almost all the money on buying more saplings, keeping just one dollar bill as a souvenir. Today, the slender saplings have grown into a vast forest. Yin gained national attention in May when she issued a public search for Sakolsky, which ended successfully. On the day of the reunion, Yin chose a green coat and arrived early at Ordos Ejin Horo International Airport. "I plant trees, and the earth is green," she said. The red scarf draped around her neck was the same one she had worn during her early days of planting trees in the desert, although it had been washed over and over again. She had practiced three English phrases: "Welcome to China," "my brother," and "more, more," her way of saying "Please eat more" to show hospitality. But when they finally met, she couldn't utter a single word. As Sakolsky came down the escalator, he kept wiping tears from his eyes. Yin hurried forward and held out her arms. The two held each other tightly, tears welling in their eyes. "This is a dream come true," said Sakolsky. "She made a promise 27 years ago and kept her promise. I never thought I would see her again. It is a miracle, but it shows culture and people can still keep promises." He praised Yin as an extraordinary woman who has made great contributions to China. He mentioned that he had intended to take a tree home to the United States, but was prohibited by law — which drew laughter from the tearful onlookers. Yet he was determined to bring back some sand home with him, saying in all seriousness that if necessary, he would pack it in his shoes. Invited by the China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE), his itinerary from Aug. 23 to Sept. 1 will also include China-U.S. teacher exchange events, a visit to Henan to meet with teachers and students at the school where he worked, a visit to the press briefing hall of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and visits to historical and cultural landmarks. Official figures show that China has contributed about one-quarter of the world's increase in green vegetation and rehabilitated 152 million mu (about 10.13 million hectares) of desertified land between 2021 and 2025.

2023年10月,欧盟委员会正式发布公告,决定对进口自中国的纯电动汽车发起反补贴调查,调查原因是中国车企通过政府大额补贴生产低价电动车,而这些电动车涌入欧盟市场后会威胁到欧洲本土电动车的发展。从3月开始,欧委会开始对来自中国的电动汽车进行海关登记,这意味着如果贸易调查认定中国电动车接受不公平的补贴,那么欧盟将在调查完成后对中国电动车征收关税。据了解,调查预计将在11月结束,但欧盟对中国电动车的关税加征可能在7月开始。5月8日,欧委会主席乌苏拉·冯德莱恩(Ursula von der Leyen)在德国柏林表示,欧洲需要采取措施,防止获得补贴的中国电动汽车充斥欧盟市场。

不过,此举却受到了多家车企管理者的怒斥,强调欧盟的行动不仅会损害中国电动汽车公司的利益,同时还将危及德车企的发展计划。宝马集团CEO奥利弗·齐普策(Oliver Zipse)在周三的财报业绩会上表示,(这种政策)很快就会“搬起石头砸自己脚”。他表示:“我认为我们的行业不需要保护,而且作为主要汽车制造的产业优势之一,就是能够在全球范围内运营,引入进口关税很容易危及这种优势。”据了解,宝马在国内生产的iX3也出口至欧洲市场销售,与长城汽车合资的MINI电动车也将以出口至海外销售为主。此前,保时捷财务总监卢茨·梅施克抨击欧盟对进口自中国的电动汽车发起反补贴调查,并称此举对欧盟“帮助不大”,尤其是对严重依赖对华出口的德国而言,德国汽车制造商将“反对”在布鲁塞尔和北京之间搞任何“关税战”。报道称,作为强大的德国汽车制造群体,保时捷将会反对任何新关税。汽车人的平台Current article:http://www.liangkuataosanxuanmiancen.sbs/list_fig/kwo.html
