Supplies of meat, eggs and milk are guaranteed this year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. Chen Guanghua, deputy director of the ministry's Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Services Bureau, said production of meat and milk is expected to reach a high, with output of eggs remaining stable. "There will be sufficient supplies during the New Year and Spring Festival holidays," Chen said. Some 39.17 million tons of pork was produced in China in the first three quarters of this year, a year-on-year rise of 38 percent, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. With pig production fully recovering in the second quarter, the average price of these animals for slaughter dropped below the cost line from June to September. The price rebounded a little in the last quarter－the peak season for pork consumption. On Wednesday, the average price for live pigs nationwide was 16.04 yuan ($2.50) per kilogram, alleviating breeders' losses, Chen said. He added that as the number of pigs for slaughter will rise until the first quarter of next year, the nationwide pork oversupply will continue for a while. Stocks of reproductive sows, which are still 6 percent higher than normal, will not return to a "reasonable level" until early next year, Chen said. "I hope everyone buys and eats more pork. This will not only enrich people's nutrition, but also alleviate farmers' difficulties," he said. Chen also asked farmers not to blindly reduce the number of animals for slaughter based on the current rise in pig prices, or to rush to expand production capacity, in case there are bigger losses. Egg prices have fluctuated by about 9 yuan per kg, but supplies are assured, as producers can quickly adjust the output of laying hens. Li Shumin, an official with the ministry's Bureau of Fisheries, said that as the world's largest producer and trading country for aquatic products, China's production capacity is stable. In the first three quarters, the market volume for such products reached 5.67 million tons, up by 10.5 percent from the previous year, the ministry said. Prices of freshwater fish, which peaked in May, have gradually fallen since August. Li said that with more such fish going to market, and the ending of a fishing moratorium in various places, prices are expected to continue dropping.

On October 30 and 31, President Xi Jinping attended the 16th G20 Summit in Beijing via video. At the meeting on the 30th, Xi Jinping delivered an important speech, comprehensively expounding China's clear stance on the world economic situation and global health cooperation, and proposing a Chinese plan of "united action for a better future", which attracted global attention. Hand in hand to fight the epidemic-build a global vaccine defense line At present, the new crown pneumonia epidemic continues to repeat, the world economic recovery is fragile, the challenges of climate change are prominent, and regional hotspot issues are frequently occurring. In this context, the war epidemic has become one of the topics of concern at the G20 summit. In his speech, Xi Jinping's first suggestion was "united and cooperated to fight the epidemic together." Since the outbreak of the epidemic, whether it is talking to leaders of various countries or attending multilateral diplomatic activities, fighting the epidemic has always been a major concern of Xi Jinping, and solidarity and cooperation have been China's consistent and firm position. At this summit, Xi Jinping reiterated that in the face of the new crown pneumonia virus that is raging around the world, no one can stand alone, and unity and cooperation are the most powerful weapons. He emphasized that the G20 includes the world's major economies and should play a leading role in building consensus, mobilizing resources, and promoting cooperation. Faced with the emergence of the stigma of virus stigma and politicization of its origin, Xi Jinping emphasized that the international community should work together to deal with and defeat the epidemic with a scientific attitude. Faced with the dilemma of uneven global vaccine distribution, Xi Jinping put forward six proposals for global vaccine cooperation actions: Strengthen vaccine scientific research cooperation and support vaccine companies in joint R&D and production with developing countries; Adhere to fairness and justice, increase the supply of vaccines to developing countries, and implement the 2022 global vaccination target set by the World Health Organization; Support the World Trade Organization to make an early decision on vaccine intellectual property exemptions, and encourage vaccine companies to transfer technology to developing countries; Strengthen cross-border trade cooperation to ensure smooth trade in vaccines and raw materials; Treat all kinds of vaccines fairly, and promote mutual recognition of ...

Bathed in warm autumn sunshine and surrounded by golden ginkgo trees in late October, Yang Yang could not avoid getting sentimental over the past and future of the Winter Olympics – with next year's Games set to start in Beijing in exactly 100 days. China's very first Winter Olympic champion in the 2002 Salt Lake Games now plays a leading role in organizing the upcoming Games and several international sport organs, but the short track speed skater said she is "promoting" rather than "administrating" winter sports, as a lot has happened in her country in the 20 years since her historic achievement. "I think my first gold aroused Chinese people's attention to winter sports in that time. And now preparing for the home Games, we already have 300 million people involved in winter sports. That is a great contribution to the winter sports worldwide," she said in an exclusive interview with China Daily. Taking in Shougang Big Air, the freestyle skiing and snowboard ramp at Beijing's Shougang Industrial Park where the 2022 organizing committee is based, the double Olympic champion said Beijing is fully prepared to welcome the world only 14 years after hosting the Summer Olympics in 2008. "In 2008, we impressed the world with an 'exceptional' Games; in 2022, we are aiming for an athlete-centered Games and 300 milliion people with winter sports, We are trying to achieve different goals but with the same value." Serving as vice president of the World Anti-Doping Agency and chairing the athletes' commission for Beijing 2022, Yang's mission is to protect the integrity of the competition and help organizers meet athletes' needs to ensure it is an athlete-centered Games.After attending the delayed Tokyo Games this summer, Yang said she was deeply touched by the world coming together despite still being affected by the pandemic. "A safe Games is the priority of everyone, and we will firmly follow the COVID-19 guidelines during the Games. Beijing is prepared." 8.Yang, 46, was born in Heilongjiang province in Northeast China, the regional home to China's winter sports because of its climate. When she retired in 2006 after the Turin Winter Games with a 1,000-meter bronze medal, China was still lacking a strong foundation in snow sports. China won a historic five golds at the Vancouver Games in 2010 in its traditional strengths, short track speed skating and figure skating. It was not until after the Pyeongchang Games in 2018 that China established national teams for nearly all the sports in Winter Olympics, including skeleton and bobsled. China's long jump-turned skeleton athlete Geng Wenqiang has even made podium finishes in international competitions in the run-up to 2022. During the celebrations to mark the 100-day countdown, which began on Wednesday, Yang visited venues and talked to athletes to check on the preparation work. Yang, a mother of two, is eager to present the stage for a new generation of athletes. "It is your stage. Enjoy the moment, even with pres...

A bird's-eye view of Sanjiangyuan National Park, Qinghai province. In a move to honor its climate commitment and further propel the building of an ecological civilization, China unveiled a master working guideline on Sunday that aims to elevate energy efficiency to an advanced international level and lift non-fossil energy consumption to over 80 percent of the whole by 2060. China intends to have fully established a green, low-carbon and circular economy and a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system by 2060. It will be carbon neutral, will have achieved significant results in ecological civilization and will have reached a new level of harmony between humanity and nature by then, according to the document. By 2030, China's carbon dioxide emissions per unit of gross domestic product will have dropped more than 65 percent, compared with the 2005 level, and the share of non-fossil energy consumption will have reached around 25 percent, with the total installed capacity of wind power and solar power reaching over 1200 gigawatts. Carbon dioxide emissions will have peaked and stabilized and then declined, it said. In September last year, President Xi Jinping announced that China aims to have carbon dioxide emissions peak before 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. The country is "firmly committed to a green, low-carbon and high-quality development path that gives primacy to ecological civilization", the guideline said. Wang An, an academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said the working guideline fully demonstrates China's sense of responsibility as a major economy in building a community with a shared future for mankind. "The high concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has been caused mainly by accumulated emissions from developed countries over the past over 200 years since the industrial revolution. They should shoulder larger responsibilities in reducing emissions," said Wang, who is also president of China International Engineering Consulting Corp. Unlike many rich countries, China hasn't yet seen its carbon dioxide emissions peak. However, it promises to achieve carbon neutrality almost at the same time as the rich countries, Wang said. With the working guideline as an overarching guide, the country will also develop specific action plans for different industrial sectors and introduce supporting policies, including financial instruments and procedures for supervision and assessment, according to the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic planner. The working guideline asks for the promotion of comprehensive green transformation in economic and social development, including optimizing plans for regional green and low-carbon development, and accelerating the formation of green production modes and living patterns. It also urges in-depth industrial restructuring, for instance, "firmly curbing irrational expansion of energy-intensive and high-emissi...
