>'Dual circulation' to power growth
中國開啟'雙循環(huán)'發(fā)展模式

The "dual circulation" development paradigm, in which domestic and overseas markets reinforce each other, with the domestic market as the mainstay, was mentioned as a guiding thought in a blueprint for China's development in the next five to 15 years.
以國內(nèi)大循環(huán)為主體、國內(nèi)國際雙循環(huán)相互促進的"雙循環(huán)"發(fā)展格局將是中國未來5到15年發(fā)展藍圖的指導(dǎo)理念。

Domestic circulation will be key to the new development pattern, with detailed measures to be rolled out to expand domestic consumption and smooth supply chains. But "dual circulation" is by no means a closed domestic loop.
國內(nèi)大循環(huán)對新發(fā)展模式至關(guān)重要，政府將推出具體措施來擴大內(nèi)需、保持供應(yīng)鏈順暢。盡管國內(nèi)市場對新發(fā)展格局很關(guān)鍵，但“雙循環(huán)”絕對不是封閉的國內(nèi)循環(huán)。

China will work to promote the coordinated development of both domestic and external demand, imports and exports, as well as foreign and outbound investment. The country will stay committed to further opening-up.
中國將積極促進內(nèi)需和外需、進口和出口、引進外資和對外投資協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)展，堅定不移地進一步擴大對外開放。

Thomas Bach proposed that "together" be added to the Olympic slogan of "faster, higher, stronger" after being re-elected as president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) during the virtual 137th IOC Session on Wednesday.

In his acceptance speech addressing IOC members, Bach said: "We learned during this coronavirus crisis, the hard way, that we can live up to our Olympic slogan 'faster, higher, stronger', in sports and in life, only if we are working together in solidarity. The world is so interdependent that nobody can solve the real big challenges alone anymore."

"There is no doubt the opening ceremony (of Tokyo 2020) will take place on July 23," Bach reiterated in his opening remarks.
巴赫還重申："毫無疑問，東京奧運會的開幕式將于7月23日舉行。"
