A | 我们时常会在中国的社交媒体上看到导游强迫游客消费的新闻，万万没想到的是，在中国游客最喜爱的出国游目的地之一、法律严明的旅游城市新加坡，也发生了这样的事……前段时间，一组由20多名中国游客组成的旅游团表示，由于他们拒绝购买旅游巴士司机出售的纪念品，被抛弃在新加坡路边。
B | Washington, Oct 14 (UNI) The global economy is "dangerously close" to a recession, as inflation remains elevated, interest rates rise, and growing debt burden hits the developing world, World Bank President David Malpass said.
"We've lowered our 2023 growth forecast from 3 per cent to 1.9 per cent for the global growth, that's dangerously close to a world recession," Malpass on Thursday said at a press conference during the IMF and World Bank annual meetings.
"All of the problems that people have taken note of, the inflation problem, the interest rate rises, and the cutoff of capital flow to developing world hit the poor hard," he said, highlighting the buildup of debt for developing countries.
"That's a world recessions could happen under certain circumstances," Malpass said.
In a study published in mid-September, the World Bank warned that as central banks across the world simultaneously hike interest rates in response to inflation, the world may be edging toward a global recession in 2023, with a growth forecast of only 0.5 per cent.
The World Bank chief noted at the press conference that world population growth is estimated at 1.1 per cent per year. "So if you get much slower in terms of world growth, that means people are going backward," Malpass said in response to a question from Xinhua.
Citing a recent World Bank report, Malpass said that Covid-19 pandemic dealt the biggest setback to global poverty-reduction efforts since 1990, pushing about 70 million people into extreme poverty in 2020, and the war in Ukraine threatens to make matters worse.
According to the Poverty and Shared Prosperity Report, global median income declined by 4 per cent in 2020, the first decline since its measurements of median income began in 1990.
"So if we have a world recession now, that would also depress median income, meaning that the people in the lower half of the income scale are going down," Malpass said.
The World Bank chief also noted that he has been concerned about the concentration of capital in the world in the top end of the advanced economies.
"So that's, I think, one of the issues that the world has to deal with to allow capital to flow to new businesses and to developing countries, that would take a change in the direction of fiscal and monetary policies in the advanced economies," said Malpass.
The world is facing very challenging environment from the advanced economies, and that has serious implications, dangers for the developing countries, he said. "My deep concern is that these conditions and trends might persist into 2023 and 2024."

C | 在一段时长1分49秒的视频中，可以看到一群中国游客正在与一名巴士司机争吵。他们还站在路边，身边放着自己的行李。在视频里，疑似旅行团成员的抖音网友“Wei Da Piao Liang”讲述了事情的经过。该网友表示，他们还遭到了巴士司机的侮辱和咒骂，司机卸下他们的行李后开车离开，留下他们一车人在路边。据本地媒体报道，事件于2024年8月16日中午12点左右发生在跑马埔路（Race Course Road）一带。当时这群游客正在参观寺庙，这是他们为期10天的东南亚国家之旅的一部分，行程中包括新加坡、马来西亚和泰国。这次旅行是由一家中国旅行社安排的。该网友还在视频中表示，他们这个旅行团刚开始只有15个人。抵达新加坡后，他们的旅行团与另一个旅行团合并了，人数达到了20多人。
D | 另一位网友在视频下评论说，她知道旅行团会出售纪念品，但不会强迫他们购买，对于这个旅行团的遭遇她表示不满。事发现场旁一名37岁的餐厅老板表示，旅行团是在他的餐厅用餐的。
E | 他的餐厅的部分生意就来自这样的旅游团，那天，他的员工听到了餐馆外面的一阵骚动。
F | 尽管不知道发生争执的原因，餐厅的工作人员还是向游客提供了饮料和茶点，以安抚他们，防止他们打扰其他就餐者。他说，在滞留了4小时后，旅游团乘坐另一辆来接他们的巴士离开了。示意图 一名70岁的司机在8月20日驾驶旅游巴士前往事发的同一地区，他在接受本地媒体采访时认出视频中的司机是自己的同事。
G | 这位司机表示，旅游巴士司机确实会尝试出售每件价值几新元的纪念品，但绝不会强迫游客购买。他补充说，旅游巴士司机谋生很困难，他们没有小费，而且还必须搬运沉重的行李。

I | 了解情况后，大使馆敦促游客寻求紧急医疗救助，并提醒他们依法享有的权利。大使馆还向他们提供了本地警方的联系电话和旅游热线。示意图在联系该团的导游和当地旅游联络人员后，另一辆车被派去接回中国游客。事发第二天，该旅行团就按原计划前往马来西亚，并于8月19日返回中国。在新加坡发生这样的事情，也是活久见了。后续将会如何处理？让我们拭目以待吧。
