2020年CRI 孟晚舟案听证会再度举行 美国宣布对伊朗实施新制裁

Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou has begun to attend a five-day hearing at the British Columbia Supreme¹ Court in Canada.

During the cross-examination of witnesses, Meng's lawyers are expected to probe the extent to which U.S. administration officials directed Canadian authorities to "en???gage² in a deceptive³ and improper⁴ search, thereby⁵ violating a court order and Meng's charter rights."

Meng was arrested in late 2018 in Vancouver at the request of the United States, which has been seeking her extradition⁶ on fraud charges.

Both Meng and Huawei have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

Authorities in Kashgar Prefecture of Xinjiang autonomous⁷ region are vowing⁸ to complete nucleic acid testing for all local people today.

Over the past few days, the prefecture has taken samples from nearly 4.5 million residents, with test results obtained for over 2.1 million.

Xinjiang detected 26 new asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 on Monday, all from Shufu County in Kashgar Prefecture.

They are all close contacts to those who were confirmed a day before.

In total, over 160 asymptomatic cases have been reported since the new surge emerged on Saturday after a 17-year-old female villager was confirmed as an asymptomatic carrier of the virus.

China has announced countermeasures after the United States designated six more Chinese media as "foreign missions" last week.

The China-based branches of the American Broadcasting Corporation, the Los Angeles Times, Minnesota Public Radio, Bureau of National Affairs, Newsweek and Feature Story News are required to declare in written form information about their staff, finance, operation and real estate in China within seven days.

Foreign Ministry⁹ spokesman Zhao Lijian also urged Washington to stop political oppression and arbitrary restrictions¹⁰ on Chinese media organizations in the United States.

Beijing has announced it will impose sanctions on relevant U.S. enterprises involved in the latest arms sales to Taiwan.

The move targets Lockheed Martin, Boeing Defense¹¹ and Raytheon as well as individuals and entities¹² playing a "vile¹³ role" in the process.

The latest sales plan approved by Washington last week includes sensors¹⁴, missiles and artillery¹⁵ that could have a total value of 1.8 billion U.S. dollars.

China's Ant Group is set to raise over 34 billion U.S. dollars from the world's biggest-ever initial public offering.

The IPO will be the first simultaneous listing in Hong Kong and the Nasdaq-style STAR Market in Shanghai.

The company has set the price of its A-shares at around 10 dollars per share.

The listing eclipses the record set by Saudi Aramco's over 29 billion U.S. dollars float last December and the 25 billion dollars raised in 2014 by its former parent Alibaba Group.

Previously¹⁶ known as Ant Financial, Ant Group is Alibaba's fintech arm and the parent company of China's largest mobile payments business Alipay.

The United States has imposed fresh sanctions against individuals and entities of Iran's oil sector¹⁷, doubling down its maximum pressure campaign against Tehran.

The move targets the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum¹⁸, the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), the National Iranian Tanker¹⁹ Company (NITC) and some senior officials and executives.

Washington claims they have given financial support to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps²⁰.

The sanctions came days after the Trump²¹ administration blacklisted Iran's ambassador to Iraq.

NASA's Stratospheric Observatory²² for Infrared²³ Astronomy has confirmed water on the sunlit surface of the moon for the first time.

Paul Hertz is NASA's Director of Astrophysics.

He says this discovery indicates that water may be distributed across the lunar surface, and not limited to cold, shadowed places.

"SOFIA has found very little water. It's found individual molecules²⁴ of water surviving on the sunlit surface of the moon. And if you were to gang up all those molecules of water, it would be about 12 ounces of water in a cubic meter of lunar soil."

SOFIA is a joint²⁵ project of NASA and the German Aerospace²⁶ Center.

Its follow-up flights will look for water in additional sunlit locations and during different lunar phases to learn more about how the water is produced, stored, and moved across the moon.

华为首席财务官孟晚舟已开始在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚最高法院参加为期五天的听证会。

在对证人的质询过程中，孟晚舟的律师将调查美国政府官员在多大程度上指示加拿大有关部门“进行带有欺骗性和不正当的搜查，因而违反了法院令和孟晚舟所应享有的基本权利。”

应美国的要求，孟晚舟于2018年底在温哥华被捕。美国一直以欺诈罪名要求引渡孟晚舟。

孟晚舟和华为都一再否认有任何不当行为。

新疆自治区喀什地区的有关部门誓言今天完成当地所有居民的核酸检测。

过去几天，该县已采集了近450万份居民样本，已出检测结果超过210万份。

周一，新疆发现26例新增无症状新冠感染病例，均来自喀什地区疏附县。

所有病例均为一天前确诊患者的密切接触者。

上周，美国又指定六家中国媒体为“外国使团”，中国随后宣布了反制措施。

中方要求美国广播公司、洛杉矶时报、明尼苏达公共电台、美国国家事务出版公司、新闻周刊、美国专题新闻社等6家美国媒体驻华分社，于7日内，向中方申报在中国境内所有工作人员、财务、经营、所拥有不动产信息等书面材料。

中国蚂蚁集团拟募集340多亿美元，成为全球首次公开募股之最。

此次首次公开募股将是首次有公司在香港和上海两地同步上市。

该公司将其A股发行价定为每股10美元左右。

此次上市将打破沙特阿美去年12月发行的290亿美元记录，也将打破2014年其前母公司阿里巴巴集团发行的250亿美元纪录。

蚂蚁集团前身为蚂蚁金服，是阿里巴巴旗下的金融科技子公司，也是中国最大的移动支付业务支付宝的母公司。

美国对伊朗石油行业的个人和实体实施了新的制裁，将针对伊朗政府的最大施压行动扩大了一倍。

此举针对的是伊朗石油部、伊朗国家石油公司（简称NIOC）、伊朗国家油轮公司（简称NITC）以及一些高级官员和高管。

美国政府称，上述个人和实体向伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队提供了财政支持。

几天前，特朗普政府将伊朗驻伊拉克大使列入黑名单。

美国国家航空航天局（简称NASA）的红外天文平流层观测台（简称SOFIA）首次确认月球表面存在水。

保罗·赫兹是美国国家航空航天局的天体物理学主任。

他表示，这一发现表明，水可能分布在月球表面，而不仅仅是黑暗、寒冷的地方。

“红外天文平流层观测台发现了非常少的水。它发现在阳光照射下的月球表面存在单个水分子。如果把所有水分子组合在一起，那每立方米月球土壤中大约有12盎司的水。”

红外天文平流层观测台是美国国家航空航天局和德国航空航天中心的一个联合项目。

其后续飞行将在其他有阳光照射的地方和不同的月相时期寻找水，以了解水是如何在月球上产生、储存和移动的。
