Negative list for cross-border services trade
跨境服务贸易负面清单发布

China's Ministry of Commerce has released a negative list for cross-border trade in services in the southern island province of Hainan, the first negative list for services trade in the country. The list outlines 70 special management measures in 11 categories for overseas services providers, according to a statement on the ministry’s website. Scheduled to become effective on Aug 26, the negative list makes higher-level opening-up arrangements in professional, transport and financial services, among others.
商务部网站近日公布了海南跨境服务贸易负面清单内容，列出针对境外服务提供者的11个门类70项特别管理措施。这是我国跨境服贸领域首张负面清单。负面清单自2021年8月26日起施行，在专业服务、交通服务、金融等领域作出较高水平开放安排。

For areas not included in the list, domestic and overseas services providers shall have a level playing field and enjoy equal market access in Hainan free trade port, the statement said. Hailing the move as a "major breakthrough" in the administration mode of services trade, Vice-Commerce Minister Wang Shouwen said at a press conference on Monday that it is an active choice by China to promote its opening-up.
据悉，凡是在清单之外的领域，在海南自由贸易港内，对境内外服务提供者在跨境服务贸易方面一视同仁、平等准入。商务部副部长王受文在7月26日召开的发布会上说，首张负面清单的出台是对现有服务贸易管理模式的重大突破，体现了更大力度的自主开放。

Uniform design for Chinese athletes
中国代表团礼服藏'玄机'

It took two years to complete the design work for the Chinese Olympic delegation's entry uniform. After several rounds of selections and evaluations, final uniform designs with the theme "making a good start" were officially confirmed in March last year for the Chinese Olympic delegation participating in the Tokyo Olympics. 
中国奥运代表团入场的礼仪服设计工作历时两年完成。经过多轮选拔和评审，2020年3月，东京奥运会中国奥运代表团的礼服正式确定为以"开门红"为主题的最终设计。

Since the appearance of the athletes is a focus of the opening ceremony, an eye-catching color like red is a top choice, especially since it is the primary shade in China's national flag and also symbolizes energy, passion and joy in traditional Chinese culture. White -- which represents brightness, purity and divinity -- plays a buffering role in the costume design. 
由于运动员的出场是开幕式的一个重头戏，像红色这样引人注目的颜色是首选，尤其红色还是中国国旗的主要色调，也是中国传统文化中能量、激情和欢乐的象征。白色(代表光明、纯洁和神圣)在服装设计中起着缓冲作用。

The combination of red and white at the occasion of the opening ceremony of the Olympics makes an auspicious statement echoing the theme of the design: "making a good start". The hem of the white dress for female athletes features China's national flower, the peony, and the source for the pattern was drawn from a Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) peony bowl, which is representative of traditional Chinese aesthetics. The design of the men's shirts is inspired by the five-star graphic pattern of China's national flag. It reflects the spirit of the Chinese Olympic team to fight together for national honor.
在奥运会开幕式上，红白两色的组合构成了一种吉祥的寓意，与设计主题"开门红"相呼应。女运动员白裙的下摆以中国国花牡丹为装饰，图案来源于代表中国传统美学的明代(1368-1644)牡丹碗。男式衬衫的设计灵感来自中国国旗的五星图案。它体现了中国奥运代表团为国家荣誉而奋斗的精神。
