A |     中新社北京8月26日电 (记者 刘大炜 李百加)国务院台办例行新闻发布会26日在北京举行，新闻发言人张晗会上表示，解决台湾问题、实现祖国完全统一，是全体中华儿女的共同愿望。祖国必须统一，也必然统一。    China and India’s oil, coal and gas purchases pumped some $24 billion in revenue into Russia’s coffers between March and May, nearly doubling the $13 billion the Asian giants spent during the same period in 2021, China Customs and India Trade Ministry data has shown.,The People’s Republic accounted for over 78 percent of the revenue - $18.9 billion. India, for its part, bought $5.1 billion in Russian energy – quintupling purchases it made a year ago by taking advantage of discounts on crude made as Moscow maneuvered to shift supplies away from the European and US markets.,Lauri Myllyvirta, lead analyst at the Finland-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), predicted that the Asian giants aren’t likely to stop their Russian energy binge anytime soon amid rising energy prices, and the West’s politicized decision to ban Russian crude oil and coal, and to limit gas imports.,EXCLUSIVE: New Delhi Does Not Support Attempts to Isolate Russia, Says Russian Ambassador to IndiaYesterday, 10:29 GMT,CREA figures indicate that China overtook Germany in the first 100 days after the escalation of the Ukraine crisis in February, but that the European market still accounted for a majority of top ten importer nations during this period.,China was the biggest importer of Russian energy in the first 100 days after the invasion, according to @CREACleanAir, and India's rise this year has been dramatic. Still, Europe as a bloc has made up the bulk of Russia's energy sales https://t.co/O7rTG4iI0p pic.twitter.com/rVuXsPv1nU— Dan Murtaugh (@danmurtaugh) July 6, 2022,Combined with Russian discounts, the possibility of ruble-yuan payments (and a similar ruble-rupee scheme currently being finalized), the BRICS nations have enjoyed a dramatic ramping up of the type of ‘win-win’ cooperation consistently talked about by Chinese officials, with Moscow ‘winning’ new markets, and Beijing and Delhi a cheap and dependable source of energy.,Iran Asks to Join BRICS27 June, 17:19 GMT,Sanctions Rebound,The United States banned the import of most (but not all) Russian energy in March, with the European Union following suit in the months to follow by banning Russian coal and fertilizers (which is an energy-intensive sector), promising to “phase out” Russian oil, and searching for alternatives to Russian natural gas.,While these measures were meant to “punish” Russia for its military operation in Ukraine, their impact so far has been to send already high energy prices and inflation soaring, and sparking fears of a steep recession.,Germany, the European industrial giant accounting for more than a quarter of the EU’s GDP, has been hit hard by the self-inflicted dual calamities of inflation and spiking energy costs. On Sunday, German Trade Union Confederation chairwoman Yasmin Fahimi warned that “entire branches” of the country’s industry, including aluminum, glass and the chemical sectors, are at risk of “collapsing permanently” thanks to the gas shortages. Germany depended on Russia for 40 percent of its gas and a quarter of its oil before the escalation of the Ukraine crisis.,No Plan C: Europe Facing Trouble as Norway's Oil, Gas Production DecliningYesterday, 15:27 GMT,Even the US, where Russian crude oil accounted for just one percent of total consumption in 2021, has been affected by the Biden administration’s energy ban, with gasoline prices setting records and sending shockwaves of price hikes reverberating on all other sectors of the economy dependent on road transport.,US and EU officials have reacted with general indifference to ordinary citizens’ economic distress, with President Biden blaming Russia and calling inflation and the gas price jump “Putin’s price hike,” while in Brussels, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has recommended that people simply ‘turn down the thermostat a couple degrees’ to compensate for lost Russian energy. On Monday, EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy Josep Borrell admitted that the transition away from Russian gas and oil is creating “serious difficulties” for members’ economies, but stressed that “this is the price which we must pay to defend our democracies and international law.”。         　　新党近日在台北举行33周年党庆活动，表示该党将坚守立场，坚定推动中华民族统一。张晗回应相关提问时作上述表示。         　　她指出，包括新党在内越来越多的台湾同胞认识到，两岸统一是任何人任何势力都无法阻挡的历史大势。我们愿在一个中国原则基础上，继续同包括新党在内的台湾各政党、团体和人士一道，共同推动两岸关系和平发展，共创祖国统一历史伟业，共享民族复兴伟大荣光。

B |          　　张晗指出，民进党当局违逆历史大势，顽固坚持“台独”分裂立场，不择手段打击迫害包括岛内统派在内的政治异己，大搞“绿色恐怖”，充分暴露其假民主、真独裁，假保台、真害台的卑劣本质，必然遭到历史的唾弃和人民的唾弃。                        　　2026年两岸关系研讨会近日在武汉开幕，多名台湾学者受邀参加。在介绍相关情况时，张晗指出，海峡两岸有关人士和专家学者160余人参加了这一两岸重要学术交流活动。大家纷纷表示，习近平总书记在庆祝中国共产党成立105周年大会上的重要讲话，为两岸关系发展指明方向；大陆成功走出一条中国式现代化道路，经济发展具有强劲动能和充沛活力，为两岸关系发展和民族复兴开辟了广阔前景；认为两岸同胞是一家人，要为民族复兴、国家统一共同打拼；强调两岸同胞应坚决反对“台独”分裂，扩大两岸各领域交流合作，持续增进同胞亲情福祉，维护台海和平稳定，守护好中华民族共同的大家园。
