Well-known Taiwanese current affairs commentator Lai Yue-qian walked into the Zongshen Industrial Group in Chongqing on the 5th, sat on a Zongshen motorcycle and asked: "How far can I pull the accelerator?" The on-site staff immediately replied: "Just full." Lai Yue-qian immediately tightened the accelerator with his right hand, and the motorcycle made a high-pitched roar. He said with emotion: "Chongqing manufacturing is really full of vitality." On the same day, Lai Yueqian and his wife Zhou Yuqin visited Zongshen Industrial Group's exhibition hall, production workshop and other places to observe the operation of the intelligent production line, core parts manufacturing process and vehicle assembly process, and learn more about the progress of Chongqing motorcycle companies in industrial chain innovation and upgrading, international market expansion and other aspects. As a leading enterprise in the automobile and motorcycle industry in Chongqing, Zongshen has built a full industrial chain system covering vehicle manufacturing, engine research and development, parts matching, and overseas marketing. Its products are exported to more than 180 countries and regions. In recent years, Zongshen has accelerated its transformation towards high-end, intelligent, and electrified products. According to on-site staff, Zongshen received great help from Taiwanese motorcycle companies in the early stages of development. Lai Yueqian said with emotion that it can be said that it was Taiwanese companies that first helped the development of mainland motorcycle companies. Now that mainland companies have become stronger, they can also help Taiwan. This is enough to prove that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can work together to make the motorcycle industry bigger and stronger. "If both sides of the Taiwan Strait hold this idea and cooperate with each other, the prospects will be very promising." In Lai Yueqian's view, the exchanges between motorcycle companies on both sides of the Taiwan Strait should be based on technical exchanges. Nowadays, mainland motorcycle companies are no longer limited to the local market, but are targeting the whole world. Taiwanese companies should also cooperate with mainland China to jointly embrace the global market. "I look forward to the day when mainland motorcycles will be launched in the Taiwan market." After visiting the production line, Zhou Yuqin said that he was deeply touched at the site today. Not only motorcycles are displayed here, but also many mainland-made products such as lawnmowers and outdoor generators are on display. Many of the equipment have effectively solved the real life problems of overseas users. "In my opinion, mainland manufacturing has become an indispensable part of the lives of many foreigners. This strength should not only be seen by us, but should be understood and seen by more people around the world." The visit site on that day also arranged a tea-making experience around the stove. The staff moved the car refrigerator to the lawn and relied on energy storage power to power the refrigerator, so that visitors could enjoy the coolness at any time even if they were outdoors. After Lai Yueqian drank the drink he just took out of the refrigerator, he repeatedly praised this set of outdoor living equipment for being very convenient to use. In an interview, Lai Yueqian refuted the absurd statement that "there are no refrigerators in mainland China". He said that now that people in mainland China are traveling, car air conditioners and mobile refrigerators can be seen everywhere, and they are no longer uncommon. Many RVs and SUVs are equipped with car mobile refrigerators. The power of the car refrigerator does not need to be powered from indoors, but directly relies on portable energy storage power supply, so there is no obstacle to outdoor use. "This type of portable equipment is used in many places in mainland China, but on the other hand, such portable equipment is rarely seen in Taiwan. This is really unreasonable." During this trip, Lai Yueqian was deeply impressed by the development of Chongqing Heavy Industry. He said that Chongqing’s automobile and motorcycle industry has a profound foundation, rich product types, and the ability to meet diversified market demands. He hopes that more high-quality motorcycles and power products from the mainland will enter Taiwan in the future, so that Taiwanese people can also experience the vitality of mainland manufacturing, and further deepen the complementarity and cooperation between Chongqing and Taiwan in the automobile and motorcycle industry.

The European Metals Association warned that if Brussels does not prevent Chinese component manufacturers from colonizing European industry, up to 300,000 jobs in the EU manufacturing industry may be lost in the remainder of 2026.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday approaches, many domestic airlines have launched paid customized in-flight meals, ranging from claypot rice to caviar platters to enrich in-flight dining options. Passengers generally accept the paid option, but are worried that the quality of free meals may be reduced in disguise. Airlines claim that paid meals can reduce waste and accurately match preferences. Experts emphasize that additions rather than subtractions must be made to the original basis to protect consumers' rights to know and fair trade.

The 10-year treasury bond yields of the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany and other countries have recently hit multi-year highs, reflecting that the global bond market is under greater selling pressure. Uncertainty about the Federal Reserve's policy is a direct factor. At the same time, technology giants are issuing bonds and competing for new debt from the U.S. Treasury Department for funds. Japan's withdrawal from negative interest rates has led to the return of funds. Analysts believe that short-term fluctuations may continue, but the impact on China's bond market will be limited.
