Newsom assures California always a partner on climate change as he begins China trip_我的网站

一 |     HONG KONG -- The governor of California opened a week-long trip to China on Monday with an assurance that his state will always be a partner on climate issues no matter how the U.S. presidential election turns out next year.Democrat Gavin Newsom's visit comes as U.S.-Chinese relations witnessed a sharp deterioration in recent years due to trade disputes, U.S. support for self-governing Taiwan and human rights concerns, among other contentious issues.Attempting to reinforce his state's role as a global leader on climate change, Newsom began his visit with a climate-themed discussion at the University of Hong Kong. He told the audience they “can rely on California,” while addressing claims that the United States is not a reliable ally.“I want you to know, regardless of what happens nationally, sub-nationally, you have a partner in the state of California,” he said. Climate remains one area where collaboration is seen as possible and necessary. Both countries appear to have fully re-engaged in the run-up to the next U.N. climate change conference, which opens Nov. 30 in Dubai.Newsom said China and the U.S. have long-standing partnerships on the issue of climate change that he wanted to build upon. Li Yongsheng, deputy commissioner of the Chinese foreign ministry in Hong Kong, said at the opening of the event that China-US relations “have shown positive signs of rebounding," and that he believed Newsom's visit will be productive.Other attendees included Gregory May, U.S. consul general in Hong Kong, Eden Woon, the president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, and Elsie Leung, Hong Kong former secretary for justice. But Newsome's trip to China has drawn concerns from some 60 advocacy groups and non-governmental organizations. They expressed their disappointment in a joint statement Friday characterizing the governor’s trip as a move to “explicitly turn away from engaging on critical human rights issues.”Asked if the only way to make progress on climate matters with China is not to mention human rights issues, Newsom denied the tradeoff, saying, “we can do many things at once.” After his Hong Kong trip, he will head to Beijing, Shanghai and the provinces of Guangdong and Jiangsu. He will visit the first Chinese city to deploy an all-electric bus fleet, tour an offshore wind facility and see Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory. He will sign agreements with leaders of various Chinese provinces to set mutual commitments on a host of climate goals.Newsom’s agenda also includes conversations on “strengthening cultural ties and combating xenophobia,” and promoting economic development and tourism.Governors of California, which has an economy larger than most countries, have a long history of climate collaboration with China. Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger also traveled there to swap knowledge on reducing air pollution and emissions, and since leaving office, Brown has launched the California-China Climate Institute at the University of California, Berkeley.。      澳门8月20日电（记者宋晨、齐菲）在孙中山先生诞辰160周年之际，澳门19日至20日举办两岸青年对话交流活动，让两岸青年以可感可知的方式了解孙中山先生与澳门、台湾的相关史料，搭建真诚对话桥梁。  本次活动由澳门中华文化发展促进会、横琴海峡两岸青年文化交流中心主办。全国政协副主席何厚铧出席活动开幕式，约500位来自两岸及香港、澳门的专家学者、青年代表及各界人士参会，其中台湾方面各领域嘉宾逾百人。  配套启幕的还包括多场青年论坛、孙中山与台湾档案史料展、广东省档案馆馆藏侨批精品展、澳门足迹导赏等活动，通过多种形式将孙中山先生的历史足迹、思想精神与当代青年交流紧密连结。活动还促成实质性经贸成果，台湾彰化县芳苑乡农会分别与三家澳门企业签署采购意向备忘录，进一步拓展澳门与台湾在农产品方面的贸易往来。  澳门中华文化发展促进会会长张宗真说，孙中山先生的理念不仅给中国现代化发展带来深远影响，亦为两岸交流提供重要文化与精神基础。期望以澳门作为交流平台，鼓励两岸青年透过文化及历史交流增进理解，共同传承和弘扬中华优秀文化。  中国国民党最高顾问王金平向活动发来贺词指出，孙中山先生是两岸同胞共同景仰的民族伟人，其爱国精神及追求民族复兴的理想是宝贵精神遗产。他表示，澳门是孙中山先生行医济世、投身革命事业的重要实践基地，此次纪念活动真实还原孙中山先生在澳历史事迹，深具时代意义。  中国国民党副主席萧旭岑以视频连线方式致辞表示，孙中山先生毕生致力振兴中华，其理念至今仍具重要启示意义。他指出，两岸交流不应中断，而应在中山先生思想感召下持续深化沟通合作，推动两岸关系和平发展，期盼同胞秉持共同文化情感与民族认同，携手共创和谐未来。
