The two companies represent two major subareas of China's manufacturing sector, especially when the country's exports are facing hard times and dropped to a seven-month low in September, the General Administration of Customs said.

As the world economy is recovering sluggishly with diminishing international trade, China's manufacturing sector faces challenges from developed and developing economies, said Ma Baocheng, director of the Decision-Making and Consultation Department of the Chinese Academy of Governance.

China launches Shenzhou XI manned spacecraft 原创2016-10-17赵磊

China launched the Shenzhou XI manned spacecraft on Monday morning to transport two astronauts to the Tiangong II space laboratory.

The spacecraft was sent skyward at 7:30 am atop a Long March 2F rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China. It is carrying two male astronauts – 49-year-old Jing Haipeng and 37-year-old Chen Dong.

After the launch, the spacecraft will travel two days before docking with the Tiangong II, which was lifted from the Jiuquan center in mid-September. Then the astronauts will enter the space lab and stay there for 30 days, which will be the longest space stay by Chinese astronauts.

The core tasks of the Shenzhou XI mission are to test rendezvous and docking technologies for the country's planned space station, to verify the life-support capability of the spacecraft-space lab combination as well as conduct scientific research and test engineering experiments, according to Wu Ping, deputy director of the China Manned Space Agency.

Prior to the Shenzhou XI, China had sent five spacecraft and 10 astronauts to space since 2003, when it lifted the Shenzhou V to carry the nation's first astronaut Yang Liwei, who is now a senior space official, into space.

China is the third country in the world that has independently fulfilled manned spaceflight following the former Soviet Union and the United States.

China's manned space program, a source of national pride, aims to place a permanent manned space station, which will consist of three parts — a core module attached to two labs, each weighing about 20 metric tons —into service around 2022, according to the manned space agency.

Lab shows early results

After being launched into orbit on Sept 15, the scientific applications of the Tiangong II space laboratory have been tested and have returned data. Here are some of the results:

? The cold atomic space clock, the first of its kind in space, has carried out several tests with stable results, as expected. Scientists believe that such a clock can help to synchronize other atomic clocks more precisely, and that the technological development will create more possibilities for further explorations in space.

? The multi-angle wide-spectral imager has captured a range of information on oceans and land as well as changes to clouds, aerosols and water.

? The stereoscopic microwave altimeter has applied interference image technology to observe sea surfaces, parts of the Yellow River, the Taklimakan Desert, lakes on the Tibetan Plateau and the Lancang-Mekong River.

? An agricultural experiment has sprouted seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana, a small flowering plant, and rice. Samples will be cultivated in space and carried back to the Earth by astronauts.

? The space-Earth quantum key distribution and laser communications experiment has established stable connections between the space lab and ground stations.

Meet the crew Jing Haipeng

Jing Haipeng (left) was born in October 1966 in Yuncheng, Shanxi province. He joined the People's Liberation Army Air Force in June 1985 and became a Party member in September 1987. He had 1,200 hours of flight time when he became one of China's first astronauts in 1998. He was selected as one of six trainees for the Shenzhou VI mission in 2005 and for the prime crew on Shenzhou VII in 2008. He was commander of Shenzhou IX in 2012, the first mission to dock with the Tiangong I space laboratory.

Chen Dong

Chen Dong (right) was born in December 1978 in Luoyang, Henan province. He joined the PLA Air Force in August 1997 and became a Party member in April 1999. He had 1,500 hours of flight time when he was selected as an astronaut in May 2010.

周末双语学习 | 联合国儿童基金会：全球每年60万幼童死于空气污染或许是长年在雾都生活，很多人对雾霾已渐渐变得麻

木。面对一个接一个的雾霾天，民众也不再吐槽，只是气定神闲地―等风来‖，把雾霾的种种危害抛之脑后。然而，事实真相是，雾霾正对人类尤其是儿童的健康产生致命的伤害。联合国儿童基金会的新报告指出，每年有60万名五岁以下儿童因为空气污染而丧生，死于空气污染的儿童比死于疟疾和艾滋病的儿童加起来还要多，空气污染已然成为幼童的一大健康杀手。

UNICEF is calling on world leaders to reduce air pollution, saying it leads to the deaths of more children yearly than malaria and HIV/AIDS combined. 联合国儿童基金会（UNICEF）呼吁各国领导人减少空气污染，该组织称每年死于空气污染的儿童比死于疟疾和艾滋病的儿童加起来还要多。

Around 600,000 children under age 5 die every year from diseases caused by or exacerbated by outdoor and indoor air pollution, especially in poor nations, UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake said in the introduction to a report titled \

联合国儿童基金会执行主任安东尼?雷克在一份名为《为儿童净化空气》的报告的前言中指出，每年约有60万名五岁以下儿童死于由室内外空气污染导致和加重的疾病，这种情况在贫穷国家尤为严重。

Air pollution also hurts children it doesn't kill, including the unborn, he said. 雷克表示，儿童即使没有死于空气污染也会因此受到伤害，未出生的胎儿也不例外。
