今日听力丨雄安新区征迁安置工作正式开始

5月15日，美国总统特朗普签署行政令，宣布“国家紧急状况”，授予美国政府机构禁止他国通信网络设备和服务的权力，这被广泛认为针对华为和中兴等中国企业。

The Trump administration has moved to prevent Huawei from doing business with American suppliers.

This follows a similar move last year toward rival ZTE that nearly forced it to temporarily shut down operations.

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced it would add Huawei to its “Entity List,” shortly after President Donald Trump signed an executive order that could effectively ban the Chinese company from selling technology in the American market.

Being put on the Entity List means U.S. companies would have to obtain special licenses to sell products to Huawei.

In response to Trump’s executive order, China’s Foreign Ministry accused the U.S. government is abusing its power to crack down on Chinese companies.

A spokesperson for the ministry said Wednesday such measures are, quote, “disgraceful and unjust.”

Huawei said it is, quote, “willing to engage with the U.S. government and come up with effective measures to ensure product security.”

The Commerce Department’s did not specify when the ban will take effect.

China’s Copyright Law is set to be revised for the first time in almost a decade.

The revision was on the agenda at a meeting of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference this week and is expected to begin this year.

Intellectual property experts told Caixin the revision must address challenges brought by the rapid development of new technologies and the internet.

China’s existing Copyright Law came into effect in 1990.

Amendments followed in 2001 and 2010, but many experts were dissatisfied with the depth of the 2010 changes.

The basic rules have changed little in almost two decades.

Two rounds of draft reforms emerged in 2012 and 2014, but they were not adopted, and progress since has been slow.

Now, a third amendment is on the horizon.

The law is one of 13 slated to be revised and submitted to the National People’s Congress this year.

Professor Zhang Weijun, an intellectual property expert at Tongji University’s School of Law, said the new revision must address the rise of the internet and proliferation of new technologies, which are major challenges to protecting copyright.

A Supreme People’s Court source told Caixin, copyright cases account for 70 percent of intellectual property matters that come before the court.

今年2月，印度塔塔集团发布季度财报，因其旗下捷豹路虎汽车在中国市场销量不振，其2018年第三财季净亏损近40亿美元。捷豹路虎CEO Ralf Speth表示，尽管中国汽车市场整体走低，但去年豪华汽车市场却依然稳定，捷豹路虎要深耕中国豪华车市场。

UK-based luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover is battling a saturated market in China, as it attempts to steady a struggling sales operation that triggered a 4 billion dollar write-down in February, CEO Ralf Speth told Bloomberg.

Speth said manufacturers are, quote unquote, “fighting for volume,” after the world’s biggest automotive market posted its first annual slide in demand in more than two decades.

He said this makes it all the more vital that the company establish its products at the top end of the market.

He said, quote, “We want do it in the premium business way. The market is going down, but last year the premium market was nevertheless stable.”

The U.K. maker of sports cars and luxury SUVs is overhauling its Chinese dealer network because it provides insufficient exposure to the country’s biggest cities.

The company’s China sales fell more than a third in the nine months through December and have continued to slide, declining 46 percent last month, while the country’s car retail market as a whole shrank 16.6 percent.

阿里巴巴近日公布其2019年财年第4财季（时间为2019年第一季度）财报，数字喜人。财报显示，当季营收935亿元，高于预期1.8%。同比增长51%。

Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba posted sales and earnings that topped estimates, as it overhauled shopping recommendations to defy a slowing economy, Bloomberg reported.

Revenue climbed to 93.5 billion yuan, or 13.6 billion dollars, in the three months through March, about 1.8 percent above estimates.

Alibaba expects sales in the current year to jump at least 33 percent to more than 500 billion yuan.

It’s no time for games, according to Tencent’s latest earnings report.

After a disappointing fourth quarter last year, the internet behemoth saw its profit grow in the first three months this year thanks to gains in its payment and advertising businesses.

China’s much-anticipated economic zone — Xiongan New Area — formally began acquiring land from local residents on Tuesday, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.

The government is acquiring land to complete infrastructure projects where residents’ houses and farmland are currently located.

Starting from the first batch of two villages, residents involved can choose to receive either cash compensation or new accommodations — the specifics of which were not published.

Residents who reject the compensation or relocation offers can appeal to a local government bureau.
