Soybean trade drives China-U.S. farm ties_我的网站

一 |          Officials and industry leaders highlight rising demand and deeper cooperation    Soybeans, carried as ballast on the return voyage from Asia to America some 200 years ago, have become a ballast of China-U.S. agricultural trade.     Susan Thornton, former acting U.S. assistant secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, offered the historical footnote to a room where "ballast" had already become the word of the day.    "So that kind of makes this word ballast even more, I think, essential for our U.S.-China agricultural trade," she told the gathering, organized by the U.S. Soybean Export Council, or USSEC, during its annual Soy Connext conference held in Chicago on Friday.    The event drew U.S. and Chinese officials, U.S. soy industry leaders, and a Chinese delegation of traders and representatives from oil crushing, food and feed companies.    Chinese Consul General in Chicago Wang Baodong said soybeans have served for many years "as an important bridge in China-U.S. agricultural cooperation, and the soybean trade has been a ballast of the broader part for economic and trade relationship".    China is home to the world's largest market for agricultural products, he noted, and high-quality U.S. soybeans help meet rising demand from Chinese consumers while generating income and supporting jobs in U.S. farm communities.    Those were the good old days, Wang said, recalling that 2022 marked the highest level ever for U.S. agricultural and soybean exports to China. The good old days, he added, came to an abrupt halt last year.    "The U.S. government launched the tariff and trade war against China, and China was compelled to take necessary countermeasures, and as a result, soybean trade between our two countries was disrupted for a period of time, and American farmers became a victim and bore much of the cost, which was never an outcome China wished to see," he said.    "There are no winners in tariff and trade wars," Wang said. "As we see it, equality, mutual respect, and mutual benefit remain the right way for China and the U.S. to get along with each other and achieve win-win cooperation."    Wang also pointed to the opportunity for U.S. soy farmers. This year marks the beginning of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, he said, with the country advancing high-quality development and high-standard opening-up while continuing to improve its business and investment environment.    Promising prospects    As living standards keep rising, he said, Chinese demand for agricultural products from around the world, including the United States, will continue to grow. The prospects for high-quality U.S. soybean exports to China, in his view, remain promising.    Cao Derong, president of the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Foodstuffs, Native Produce and Animal By-Products, or CFNA, echoed the view. "Economic and trade relations should continue to serve as the ballast and propeller of China-U.S. relations, not as barriers or flashpoints," Cao said in a video message.    The CFNA remains committed to maintaining and strengthening exchanges between the Chinese and U.S. soybean sectors, Cao said.    He said the chamber this year hosted a visiting U.S. soybean association delegation as well as representatives from the Indiana Soybean Alliance, and said he hoped to see dialogue between the two sides deepen further.    Mike McCranie, chair of USSEC, has watched that relationship grow alongside his own career. He first visited China in 1982 and raised his first soybeans 40 years ago.    "It has changed a lot since then. I have been to China five times, developing great relationships. I really value those relationships," he said.    Thornton described the trade as a "textbook case" of two economies growing into each other.    U.S. soybean yields have skyrocketed in recent decades on the back of technology and precision agriculture, she said, and that leap coincided with China's dramatic rise in living standards and a growing appetite for pork and poultry, which in turn drove the demand for livestock feed.    The United States and China operate two of the most complex food systems in the world, and she described them as highly complementary.    As major producers, consumers and traders of agricultural products, the two countries share a responsibility to ensure the global food supply remains stable, sustainable, high-quality and abundant, she said.                    。    

直播吧04月21日讯 据《The Athletic》调查，英超六大豪门主帅在音乐偏好上各有特色。虽然英超联赛以世界顶尖足球水平闻名，但主帅们的歌单却出人意料的略显“平庸”。下文盘点各大主帅音乐偏好类型：

阿莫林——曼联主帅

去年11月，阿莫林在葡萄牙体育的告别战中亲自选择播放了葡萄牙摇滚乐队Xutos & Pontapés的《A Minha Casinha》（我的小房子）。

二 | 他解释：“因为我会非常想念这里，这首歌很契合离别的氛围。”

来到曼联后，他迷上了球迷改编自约翰-丹佛的《Take Me Home, Country Roads》（乡村路带我回家）。这首歌本赛季在老特拉福德球场开赛前被播放，阿莫林表示：“改编版的《乡村路》太完美了！我梦想着夺冠后能在主场听到这首歌。”

阿尔特塔——阿森纳主帅

阿尔特塔鲜少公开讨论个人音乐品味，但他深信音乐对团队的激励作用。三年前，他主导将路易斯-邓福德的《The Angel》（北伦敦永恒）定为酋长球场的赛前主题曲。

此外，他曾在对阵利物浦前用《You’ll Never Walk Alone》（你永不独行）激励球员训练。

三 | 他常将音乐融入训练，例如用塞尔吉奥-门德斯的桑巴名曲《Mais Que Nada》调节氛围：“音乐是训练的一部分，能激发能量，球员们也很享受。”

瓜迪奥拉——曼城主帅

瓜迪奥拉是酷玩乐队（Coldplay）铁粉，曾用《Viva La Vida》激励巴萨“黄金一代”，并将这一传统在曼城延续。他还青睐本地乐队绿洲（Oasis），并与乐队吉他手诺尔-加拉格私交甚笃。

四 |

他钟爱加泰罗尼亚乐队Manel，并多次提到西班牙歌手路易斯-利亚奇和胡安-曼努埃尔-塞拉特。

五 | 2023年足总杯夺冠后，曼城全队偶遇埃尔顿-约翰，后者祝他们冲击三冠王成功——这段经历也被瓜帅与音乐记忆紧密关联。

六 |

波斯特科格鲁——热刺主帅

波斯特科格鲁与球员的音乐品味截然不同。他调侃热刺主场“像夜店”，尤其受不了赛后播放的由罗比-威廉姆斯所唱的《Angels》（天使）和更衣室里播放的由多莉-帕顿所唱的《Islands in the Stream》（岛屿溪流）。他坦言：“我尽量赛前少待在更衣室，他们放的音乐让我抓狂。”

马雷斯卡——切尔西主帅

马雷斯卡偏爱意大利音乐，尤其喜欢已故的那不勒斯音乐人皮诺-丹尼尔——其作品融合那不勒斯民谣、蓝调与爵士。丹尼尔的专辑《Yes I Know My Way》（是的，我知道路）与马雷斯卡在切尔西的执教经历有着微妙的呼应。他届时：“这些音乐来自我的家乡，轻松不吵闹。

七 | 身处异国时，它们能带我回到熟悉的环境。”

斯洛特——利物浦主帅

斯洛特在利物浦的开端始于克洛普离任前最后一场比赛在安菲尔德球场带领观众为他现场的《Live Is Life》（生活就是生活）。斯洛特对“老板”布鲁斯-斯普林斯汀的作品情有独钟。
