(新春走基层)四川：上万名铁路建设者返岗复工 高铁建设稳步推进
中新网成都2月3日电 (刘忠俊)2月3日，四川成自宜、成达万高铁以及成兰铁路等重点铁路项目工地上万名建设者返岗复工，工地上机器轰鸣，一派繁忙景象。
成都经达州至重庆万州高铁(下称：“成达万高铁”)是我国“八纵八横”高铁网沿江通道的重要组成部分，涪江特大桥位于四川遂宁市境内，全长5585.4米，主桥为双塔双索面钢混结合梁斜拉桥，桥梁主跨305米，是成达万高铁控制性工程之一。
成自宜高铁成都双线特大桥至天府站区间工人们正在铺设轨道。 刘忠俊 摄中新网记者走进成达万高铁涪江特大桥施工现场，工人师傅们紧张操作着10多台旋挖钻机、履带吊、汽车吊等进行施工作业，全力抢抓河道枯水黄金期。“涪江特大桥横跨1300米涪江江面，要赶在汛期前完成水下施工。”中铁十七局成达万高铁6标段二工区经理王俊俊称，汛期来临涪江水位将上涨，给水下施工增加难度。“力争在汛期前完成大桥水下部分施工，这也是项目部2023年最重要的节点。”
正在加紧建设的天府高铁站。 刘忠俊 摄2023年即将建成通车的成都经自贡至宜宾高铁(下称：“成自宜高铁”)全面进入铺轨、四电、站房的最后冲刺阶段，记者在成自宜高铁成都双线特大桥至天府站区间看到，60余名施工人员正在进行布枕、铺设轨排、安装配件等作业，并以每天300米至500米的速度推进。“工地全部复工，正在进行成自宜高铁成都段的铺轨作业。”中铁十九局成自高铁7标铺轨项目部周忠坤称，后续将增加至300人左右，力争6月30日实现轨通。
成自宜高铁龙泉山隧道内工人师傅们正在进行无砟轨排的吊装等作业。天府高铁站位于成都市天府新区兴隆湖以东，车站采用“站房高架+站场高架”设计理念，为12台22线。庞大的工地上耸立着18台塔吊正不停转动，下方穿着橙色背心的工人在工地上穿行，他们搭建钢架、或绑扎钢筋，开展混凝土浇筑作业忙个不停。与此同时，成自宜高铁龙泉山隧道里两台小型吊车正来回穿行，不停地调运浇筑使用的无砟轨排，工人们正在为新一轮的无砟轨排浇筑作业做好准备工作。

中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾****** 中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文·麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy (ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy". The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader. Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party. On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration. On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses. Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees. As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives. But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker. CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful. This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally. Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits. From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public. Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world. The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
