中国人均预期寿命达79岁
China's average life expectancy reaches 79 years
China's average life expectancy has reached 79 years in 2024, an increase of 0.4 years compared to 2023, a health official said on Sunday.
3月9日，国家卫生健康委员会主任称，2024年中国居民的人均预期寿命达到79岁，比2023年提高了0.4岁。
This achievement has surpassed the targets set in the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) ahead of schedule, Lei Haichao, head of the National Health Commission, told a press conference.
国家卫生健康委员会主任雷海潮在新闻发布会上表示，这提前实现了“十四五”规划（2021-2025）的目标要求。
Attaining such results has not been easy, Lei said, noting that in countries and regions where the average life expectancy exceeds 75 years, the annual increase is generally only about 0.1 to 0.2 years on average.
雷海潮表示，取得这样的成绩是相当不容易的，在平均预期寿命超过75岁的国家和地区，平均每年的增长通常只有0.1到0.2岁。
Data compiled from 53 middle- and high-income countries shows China ranking fourth. Among the G20 nations, a life expectancy of 79 years places China in the tenth position, according to Lei.
雷海潮介绍，在对53个中高收入国家人均预期寿命的统计中，中国排名第四；在G20国家中，中国排在第十。
This indicates that the Chinese people's excellent traditional culture, healthy lifestyle, the implementation of a series of strategies such as the Healthy China initiative, and prioritizing health development have had a direct impact on improving public health, Lei concluded.
雷海潮总结道，这说明中国人的优秀传统文化、良好生活方式以及健康中国等一系列战略的实施，对于改善健康所产生的效果是直接的。

加拿大新总理马克·卡尼
Canada's new prime minister Mark Carney
Former central banker Mark Carney won the race to become leader of Canada's ruling Liberal Party and will succeed Justin Trudeau as prime minister, official results showed on Sunday.
3月9日公布的官方选举结果显示，加拿大前央行行长马克·卡尼赢得竞选，成为加拿大执政党自由党的领袖，并将接替现任总理特鲁多担任总理。
Carney will take over at a tumultuous time in Canada, which is in the midst of a trade war with longtime ally the United States and must hold a general election soon.
卡尼上任之际，加拿大正处于动荡时期——加拿大正与长期盟友美国出现贸易摩擦升温，且必须尽快举行大选。
Carney, 59, took 86 percent of votes cast to beat former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland in a contest in which just under 152,000 party members voted.
在这次党内选举中，59岁的卡尼赢得了86%的选票，击败了前财政部长克里斯蒂亚·弗里兰，取得了压倒性的胜利。在这场选举中，只有不到15.2万名党员参加了投票。
Trudeau announced in January that he would step down after more than nine years in power as his approval rating plummeted, forcing the ruling Liberal Party to run a quick contest to replace him.
今年1月，特鲁多宣布辞去自由党领袖和总理职务，结束九年多的执政生涯。由于特鲁多支持率大幅下降，迫使自由党迅速发起一场竞选来寻找取代他的人选。

DJI reportedly launched a campaign on February 27 to mandate their employees to
leave the office at 9 pm. Managers and human resource specialists at the
company headquarters in Shenzhen, South China’s Guangdong Province, would urge
the staffers to leave office as soon as the clock sound the 9 o’clock, while
the company’s Shanghai branch would go to extremes to turn the light out in the
entire office, the Securities Times reported on Sunday.

Weibo on Monday and sparked heated discussions. The company replied to the
media inquiry that the company established at the beginning of this year six
strict regulations to simplify work procedures, including a ban on meetings
after work and unnecessary overtime driven by formalism, according to the media
outlet Economic View.
