[China has recently made a series of progress in the field of uranium extraction materials from seawater: for the first time, discrete molecular topology design was introduced into a porous organic cage system and the phosphoric acid functionalized material PhosCage was synthesized] September 2, according to the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Processes, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research team of the institute has recently made a series of progress in the field of uranium extraction materials from seawater. For the first time, the team introduced discrete molecular topology design into a porous organic cage system, synthesized the phosphoric acid functionalized material PhosCage, and further combined it with aramid nanofibers to prepare composite airgel microspheres AC-POC with high selectivity, high capacity and anti-biofouling capabilities. Relevant results were published in the international academic journals "Journal of Hazardous Materials" and "Separation and Purification Technology". The Qingdao Institute of Energy Research team proposed a discrete molecular topology design strategy to directionally construct phosphoric acid adsorption clusters in the interlayer nanospace of porous organic cages, and prepared the first phosphoric acid functionalized porous organic cage material - PhosCage. Under laboratory conditions, PhosCage can reach adsorption equilibrium in just 5 minutes; in real seawater samples from multiple sea areas, its maximum uranium extraction capacity reaches 50.4 mg/g, which is 8.4 times the relevant benchmark of the U.S. Department of Energy.

[Bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates LNG cargoes switched to ship-to-ship transshipment] September 2nd, data from ship tracking agencies Vortexa and Kpler showed that in recent weeks, three batches of liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes loaded in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates were transshipped outside the Strait of Hormuz through ship-to-ship (STS), and then shipped to India and Japan respectively. Among them, an LNG carrier controlled by the Greek shipping company GasLog completed a ship-to-ship transfer with the "GasLog Savannah" offshore Oman at the end of August. The second cargo involved the Al Rekayyat LNG carrier controlled by Qatar Energy. The ship was hit by projectiles near the Strait of Hormuz in early July and completed a ship-to-ship transfer with another Qatari LNG carrier "Tembek" on the east coast of the United Arab Emirates in mid-August. Kpler data shows that the LNG cargo initially loaded at Ras Laffan was then transported by the "Tembek" to the Dakhj Terminal in India and arrived on August 31. The third shipment came from the United Arab Emirates. The LNG carrier "Mraweh" controlled by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) loaded LNG from Das Island in early August, and then completed a ship-to-ship transfer with the "LNG Enugu" in the offshore waters of Oman and outside the Strait of Hormuz in mid-August.

[Liaoning Province’s video conference on promoting investment promotion work was held] September 1st, Liaoning Province’s video conference on promoting investment promotion work was held in Shenyang on September 1. Wang Xinwei, deputy secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and governor, attended and delivered a speech. Wang Xinwei emphasized that it is necessary to make full use of the advantages in industrial foundation, leading enterprises, transportation location, scientific and educational resources, natural endowments and other aspects to accurately carry out investment promotion. We will do a good job in attracting industrial investment, focusing on the "2211" industrial system, focusing on extending, replenishing and strengthening the chain, highlighting new technologies, new business formats and new models, drawing up industrial chain maps and investment maps, keeping a close eye on target enterprises to carry out "knocking on doors for investment" and targeted investment, and forming a development pattern that integrates large and medium-sized enterprises and connects upstream and downstream supporting facilities. We will do a good job in attracting fund investment, give full play to the guiding and driving role of the provincial parent fund in developing new productive forces, implement the "parent fund + sub-fund" operating model, explore the attraction path of "research and judgment recommendation by leading institutions, joint promotion of provincial and municipal state-owned assets, and joint investment by social capital", and promote industrial agglomeration with "capital + scenarios + services".

[Ministry of Commerce: Mutual benefit and win-win results in China and ASEAN's production and supply chains will be promoted from three aspects] On September 1, Wang Liping, Director of the Asia Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that in the next step, mutual benefit and win-win results in the production and supply chains of both parties will be promoted from three aspects. In terms of strengthening cooperation in emerging fields, we support the deepening of mutual investment in the digital economy, green development, blue economy and other fields, and rely on carriers such as "two countries, two parks" and cross-border industrial parks to promote efficient linkage in R&D innovation, production and manufacturing, scenario application and other links, and create an emerging industry ecosystem with complementary advantages and deep inter-embeddedness. In terms of strengthening regional connectivity, we should vigorously develop multimodal transport models such as "rail-sea" and "river-rail-sea" to continuously improve the efficiency of port operations, break up cross-border circulation chokepoints, effectively improve the efficiency of resource allocation, and promote the free flow of key products and services between China and ASEAN. Continue to promote mutual recognition cooperation in standards and conformity assessment, reduce compliance costs for enterprises, improve trade facilitation, and provide a stable and predictable market environment for enterprises to carry out cross-border cooperation. In terms of strengthening digital intelligence empowerment, digital intelligence upgrading is the only way to promote the modernization of the China-ASEAN regional production and supply chain. Enterprises on both sides are encouraged to actively use modern digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things to promote information interconnection in all aspects of production, logistics, and trade, stimulate the vitality of data elements, and create a more resilient industrial and supply chain.
