    Vessels enter a ship lock of the Pinglu Canal in Lingshan county, Qinzhou, South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on August 12, 2026.
Equipped with China's homegrown BeiDou positioning systems, drones and sensors, four vessels began trial runs along China's Pinglu Canal on Wednesday. The canal, which is planned for opening in September, will greatly inject economic vitality to areas along its route and turbocharge China's trade connection with the ASEAN with its cost-saving transportation, a Chinese analyst said.
The vessels conducting trials on Wednesday represent the main types expected to sail on this canal, namely loaded and unloaded 5,000-tonne ships as well as loaded 3,000-tonne and 1,000-tonne vessels, Xinhua News Agency reported.
The trials began when an unloaded 5,000-ton vessel departed from the Xinfu service area along the canal in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
With sensors collect data on their routes, movements, water currents and safe distances between ships, the tests will assess navigation under both normal and adverse conditions and examine whether the canal's waterways, locks, anchorages, service areas and navigation facilities are ready for operation.
Chinese analysts said the tests starting on Wednesday, days after the canal completed its first full-route patrol, indicated that the canal is one step closer to its scheduled opening in September as final preparation work ramp up.
Zheng Ping, chief analyst at industry news portal chineseport.cn, told the Global Times on Wednesday that as a major project in the nation's water network, the opening of the canal later this year will bring sea changes to areas along its route with fresh economic opportunities with its role as a low-cost enabler for domestic and international trade.
"Inland water traffic has great advantage in transportation capacity and costs. While a train can typically carry 20 40-foot container or more, a waterborne vessel can easily carry over 100 such containers. So a five-times capacity is gained here, greatly reducing transportation costs for goods," Zheng said.
For goods that are not time sensitive, or for bulk cargo such as coal, aluminum or fertilizers, waterborne traffic has unparallel advantage, the expert noted.
The 134.2-kilometer-long Pinglu Canal is a key project of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor. With total investment exceeding 70 billion yuan ($10.37 billion), the canal begins at the Pingtang River estuary in Hengzhou, administered by Nanning, follows the Qinjiang River into the Beibu Gulf, according to Xinhua News Agency.
It is China's first major river-to-sea canal project planned and coordinated at the national level since 1949 and is designed to accommodate vessels of up to 5,000 tons.
In addition to facilitating transportation, modern canal system will also have the function of water resource diversion, flood control and irrigation, greatly boosting up local economic development, Zheng said.
Lei Xiaohua, deputy director of the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies at the Guangxi Academy of Social Sciences in South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, told the Global Times on Wednesday that the Pinglu Canal will serve as a new engine for the deep integration of industrial chains between China and ASEAN.
"Raw materials from ASEAN can enter China's hinterland via the Beibu Gulf ports at lower costs, while Chinese exports including aluminum products and building materials can reach Southeast Asia more efficiently," Lei said.
Against the backdrop of deep industrial chain integration between China and Vietnam, the canal, which offers a low-cost, high-capacity transport route, is poised to foster new models of cross-border industrial capacity cooperation, said Lei.
When operational in September, the canal will give inland regions in Southwest China a more direct river route to the sea. Cargo that previously had to travel eastward through the Port of Guangzhou will be able to head south directly toward ports in the Beibu Gulf, shortening some inland waterway journeys by about 560 kilometers, according to Xinhua.
The New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor is an international trade and logistics network connecting China's western regions to ASEAN countries and other overseas markets.
The corridor has continued to record strong trade growth. During the first half of 2026, imports and exports transported through the corridor by its participating regions reached 517.23 billion yuan, up 13 percent year-on-year and setting a new record for the same period, per data released by Chongqing municipal government.
The corridor's rail service handled a record 1.425 million 20-foot equivalent units of cargo in 2025, up 47.6 percent year-on-year. As of early June of 2026, its network reached 593 ports in 128 countries and regions.

此前，联邦检察官请求法院判处德帕普40年监禁，因为其罪行符合联邦对恐怖主义的定义，应加重量刑。

D | 检察官说，德帕普对自己的罪行毫无悔意，重判将对其他出于意识形态极端主义动机的潜在袭击者起到威慑作用。

E | 南希·佩洛西也在给法官的信中表示，有必要判处有罪方“很长的刑期”。

据美联社报道，公设辩护律师要求法官判处德帕普14年监禁，理由是他当时正经历人生中的一段困难时期，而且其没有犯罪记录。德帕普的律师曾辩称，其当事人的袭击行为是出于政治信仰，而非试图干扰南希·佩洛西作为国会议员的公务，因此对他的指控是无效的。律师还告诉陪审员，德帕普深受阴谋论影响。

德帕普对指控也不认罪，他承认在读完网络上有关对美国前总统特朗普的评论后，自己的政治倾向从左翼转向右翼。在意识到自己更大的计划可能会瓦解后，他袭击了保罗·佩洛西。

据新华社此前报道，法庭文件显示，10月28日凌晨2时左右，德帕普打碎佩洛西旧金山住所的玻璃窗并闯入，惊醒82岁的保罗·佩洛西。

G | “你是保罗·佩洛西吗？”德帕普问，“南希在哪儿？南希在哪儿？”保罗回答说，妻子不在家，要离开好几天。

德帕普随身携带了手套、胶带、绳子和锤子等工具。法庭文件显示，德帕普本打算把佩洛西绑起来，让她说出“事实”，否则将打碎她的膝盖骨。据法新社报道，德帕普希望佩洛西承认民主党的“谎言”。

保罗最终设法在卫生间打电话报警。警察赶到时看到两人正在抢夺锤子，其间保罗多次被用锤子击打。
