Developing stable and mutually-beneficial China-UK relations serves the fundamental interests of both the Chinese and UK peoples, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said on Friday, in commenting on the British Labour Party's success in the country's general election held on Thursday.
"China's position on developing China-UK relations is consistent and clear," said Mao Ning, the spokeswoman, at a press conference in Beijing. "China and the UK are both permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and major economies in the world. Growing stable and mutually-beneficial bilateral ties serves the fundamental interests of both peoples, helps both countries to better respond to global challenges together, and contributes to world peace and development. We hope that the two countries will work together to keep bilateral relations on the right track under the principle of mutual respect and win-win cooperation," Mao said.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Friday conceded defeat in the general election as the ruling Conservative Party suffered massive losses.
Noting that the Labour Party has won this general election, Sunak said he has called Sir Keir Starmer to congratulate him on his victory.
Stable, mutually beneficial China-UK relations meets fundamental interests of two peoples: spokeswoman
A new batch of China Media Group's (CMG) 8K ultra-high-definition (UHD) live broadcast vehicles for the Paris Olympics was unloaded in the Netherlands on Sunday local time, before heading to France.
In addition to the broadcast van in red, an auxiliary vehicle was also disembarked at the Port of Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe.
With a length of 17 meters, a width of 2.5 meters and a weight of 40 tons, the live broadcast vehicle, carrying state-of-the-art broadcast equipment, has very high requirements on the port's lifting capacity.
To ensure smooth unloading, the Port of Rotterdam convened a pre-ship meeting and specifically designed a customized lifting plan. Prior to the actual lift, over two hours were spent testing and adjusting the lifting equipment.
As planned, the broadcast vehicles will run all the way from Rotterdam to Belgium, and sail to Paris. As a leading broadcaster and the international media organization with the most broadcasting rights for the Paris Olympic Games, CMG is set to orchestrate its largest-scale Olympic Games coverage to date.
A production and technical service team of over 2,000 technicians will be responsible for producing pool signals for the four major events: gymnastics, table tennis, badminton, and rock climbing.
Meanwhile, the live broadcast will last over 400 hours, with more than 11,000 hours of high-quality signals for the competitions broadcast and distributed through television channels and new media terminals.
For the first time abroad, CMG's Olympic broadcast production will be delivered entirely in 4K ultra-high-definition.
