China unveiled measures to advance the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade to help bolster the home market, with domestic and international circulations progressing smoothly, said a circular issued by the General Office of the State Council. 
近日，国务院办公厅印发《关于促进内外贸一体化发展的意见》，就促进内外贸一体化，形成强大国内市场，畅通国内国际双循环作出部署。

Shanghai's new foreign capital record

上海去年实际使用外资再创新高

Shanghai used a record $22.55 billion in foreign capital last year, up 11.5 percent year-on-year, said Mayor Gong Zheng, at a news conference after the municipal people's congress meeting on Sunday. "Foreign capital is a very important guarantee of the high-quality development of Shanghai, and last year's record amount was a very strong and upbeat sign," Gong said, adding that it was achieved "thanks to our successful containment of COVID-19 and the resilience of the city". 
上海市十五届人大六次会议1月23日闭幕，在之后举行的记者招待会上，上海市市长龚正表示，去年上海实际使用外资达到225.5亿美元、增长11.5%。龚正说："外资是促进上海高质量发展的重要引擎。去年我们牢牢守住了疫情防控这条底线，城市韧性得到进一步提升和体现，所以去年上海实际使用外资再创新高，呈现逆势上扬态势。" 

Sixty multinational companies established regional headquarters in Shanghai last year, raising the total to 831, and the companies also set up another 25 regional research and development centers in the city, which now number 506, he said. "That shows Shanghai is still the destination of choice for foreign investment and multinational companies when they plan supply chains and locate innovation centers," he said.
龚正表示，去年上海新增跨国公司地区总部60家、累计达到831家，新增外资研发中心25家、累计达到506家。这说明，上海仍然是外商投资的一片热土，是跨国公司布局产业链、创新链的首选地之一。

The executive director of Olympic Channel Services heaped praise on the show after watching rehearsals. As part of the broadcasting team, he worked with acclaimed director Zhang Yimou to present the 2008 showpiece to the world, which he described as "a highlight of my professional life".

With Zhang reappointed chief director for the 2022 Games' ceremonies, Exarchos said he was relishing having another chance to work with a director who understands the needs of broadcasters and TV producers. "The ceremony is practically ready, and it's a ceremony that nobody should miss for any reason," he said.
