Gaochun Old Street, the best-preserved ancient street of Ming and Qing Dynasties in East China, is as famous as Nanjing Confucius Temple

If you travel to Nanjing, I believe most people think of the Confucius Temple first. Confucius Temple is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Nanjing and even the whole country, and it is a national 5A tourist attraction with free tickets. It has a very long history and profound Cultural heritage. In Nanjing, there is actually a thousand-year-old street, which not only has a large number of ancient buildings, but also enjoys the reputation of “Nanjing Second Confucius Temple”. It is “Gaochun Old Street”, which is also called Chunxi Old Street because it is located in Chunxi Street, Gaochun District. Gaochun Old Street is a must-visit tourist attraction in Gaochun. It is located in the commercial center of Gaochun District. It is now a national 4A tourist attraction, a famous historical and cultural street in China, and one of the 48 scenic spots in the new Jinling. I visited here a few years ago. You also need to buy tickets, which are now free to the public. The history of Gaochun Old Street can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. At that time, a market was established. It has a long history of more than 900 years. Later, Gaochun Old Street has become the main commercial street here. In addition, the adjacent waterways are developed. Since then, it has become a place where merchants gather and people gather, and it is now a provincial cultural relics protection unit. The ancient buildings in Gaochun Old Street are very well-preserved and large in scale. They are the best-preserved ancient streets in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in East China, enjoying the “Jinling First Ancient Street”, “Jinling Second Confucius Temple” and the “art of ancient architecture” The reputation of “treasure house”. Although its popularity is not very high, it does not affect its value in literary history. As an “old street” for nearly a thousand years, there is naturally an old street. Gaochun Old Street was built under the continuous construction of the Ming and Qing Dynasties for more than 500 years. At the beginning, the old street was 1135 meters long, and now there is more than 800 meters in existence. The cultural level is still the landscape at the humanistic level, which can be found on this old street. During the day, there are endless tourists on Gaochun Old Street, and Gaochun Old Street in the evening is also unique. This is also my favorite time to go shopping in the old street. Unlike the old streets I’ve been to in the past, the texture of Gaochun Old Street is very well preserved. On the stone road with a width of 4.5-5.5 meters, you can clearly see the rouge stone used in the middle part, the pink rouge stone It contrasts sharply with the cyan stone. After hundreds of years of wind, rain, and traffic pressure, it is still very well preserved and very strong. And the old drainage pipes are still in use today, and they are very particular. The stone slabs of the sewer are composed of square and round shapes, fusing the ancients’ idea of ”Heaven and Man are one”, and represents the “Heaven and Round Place”. Gaochun Old Street has been a commercial street since ancient times. The commercial atmosphere is very strong. It is still the case today. There are many shops on both sides of the old street. There are as many as 314 shops. The shops are also very distinctive, all of which are building-style. The double-layer brick and wood structure, the building’s cornices and corners, the unique shape, and the simplicity and variety, combine the characteristics of the Huizhou architecture and local architecture in southern Anhui, leaving a deep impression on people. The prosperity of Gaochun Old Street in ancient times benefited from the well-developed rivers here. Guanxi River was one of the busiest rivers in ancient times. It was a water transportation channel. According to historical records, as early as the Song Dynasty, the Guanxi River docked at the Guanxi River. The ship is a few miles long enough to show its economic prosperity. Economic prosperity will certainly promote the precipitation of its culture. Since ancient times, there have been many celebrities in Gaochun Old Street, which also laid the foundation for the profound cultural heritage here. I don’t know, have you ever been to or heard of Gaochun Old Street? What’s your impression of this old street? If you haven’t been, will you come here to check in if you have a chance? Welcome to leave comments.

German competition guardians Face to face with Google, Apple & Co.

Status: 23.06.2021 3:56 p.m.

The big tech companies from the USA are becoming more and more powerful all over the world. There are also new players from China. The Bundeskartellamt does not just want to accept market power.

From Sebastian Tittelbach, WDR

For a few months now, one hears an abbreviation more frequently in the office corridors of the Federal Cartel Office: GAFA. They are the first letters of the really big ones: Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon. And Bundeskartellamt President Andreas Mundt has all of these in his sights. “We are talking about the most powerful companies in the world. We’re getting very strong companies in China – so this is by no means an American event, it’s a global trend.”

10/30/2020

Due to the corona crisis Gigantic profits for tech companies

Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon earned 38 billion dollars in the past quarter alone.

New rules have been in effect since the beginning of the year

German competition law changed at the beginning of the year. Since then, the cartel watchdogs have been able to take action against Internet companies more easily. And the 400-person authority from Bonn does not shy away from tech giants from overseas worth billions. “It’s not about throwing sand in the machine”says head of the authorities Mundt. “Our aim is simply to end anti-competitive behavior at these companies.”

Amazon already had to reorganize its marketplace under pressure from the Federal Cartel Office. Amazon has given the smaller retailers who offer their goods there more rights. The Federal Cartel Office is currently taking a look at Apple. “We know what kind of universe Apple maintains, and I personally see it that way that restrictions of competition are possible”, so Mundt. “And now let’s see how this process develops.”

Competition authority Antitrust Office targets Apple

The Federal Cartel Office is investigating Apple

The pandemic is leaving its mark

The corona pandemic did not leave the Federal Cartel Office completely without a trace. In 2020, the investigators only went out for a single search – for reasons of hygiene, the head of the authorities said: “We were out last summer, and we’re honestly looking forward to going back out now, if the numbers allow.”

Even without searches, the Bonn authorities found enough evidence to punish companies. She imposed 349 million euros in fines last year. Half a billion less than in 2019, but still well above the long-term average. Above all, steel and aluminum forges, manufacturers of street sewer castings, such as covers made of cast iron or concrete, and wholesalers of pesticides have to pay. Elsewhere, the cartel watchdogs were more flexible because of Corona: in the automotive industry, for example, they approved collaborations between companies so that the supply chains did not collapse completely in the pandemic. “Then other cooperations are possible between companies where you might have concerns outside of the pandemic, then say in the pandemic: The economic situation is such that you can and must cooperate”, explains the head of the Cartel Office, Mundt.

FAQ October 21, 2020

Competition law These are the allegations against Google

The EU has already imposed cartel fines on Google, and now the US government also wants to sue the Internet company.

High hopes, more work

He has great expectations of the new competition register, which was launched in the spring. “The competition register is simply about registering companies that owe something. Violation of minimum wage et cetera.” Such companies can be banned from public tenders for three to five years.

The Bundeskartellamt expects more work on merger control in the current year. Because of the pandemic, there could be more company mergers. The cartel office will examine such mergers without any corona bonus, announces the head of the authorities Mundt. Because when companies merge, it is usually forever – but hopefully not the corona pandemic

China Telecom Digital City Company was established, and the road to digital service layout opened

editor — Sat, 26 Jun 2021 15:40:06 +0000

01 In the national “14th Five-Year Plan” plan, work arrangements for building a new picture of a better digital life are proposed. The plan points out: to promote the digitization of various scenarios such as shopping and consumption, home life, tourism and leisure, and transportation, to create a new digital life of wisdom sharing and harmony and co-governance. Promote the construction of smart communities, relying on community digital platforms and offline community service agencies to build a convenient and beneficial smart service circle, and provide online and offline integrated community life services, community governance and public services, smart communities and other services. Enrich the digital life experience and develop the digital home. Strengthen the education and training of digital skills for all, popularize and improve citizens’ digital literacy. Speed up the construction of information barriers and help the elderly and the disabled to share their digital lives. Digital China, digital society, digital government, digital governance and other “digital +” combination concepts emerge one after another, and digital transformation has become the hottest topic. Digital transformation has also become a driving force for the development of various industries, or internally improve the level of digital management, or provide digital transformation solutions for other industries and enterprises, or provide the public with a variety of digital application services. All in all, the “digital” dividend trend is coming. 02 Telecom operators, their most basic network pipeline services, have had a natural relationship with numbers since their birth. It can be said that the basic services of telecom operators are naturally digital. But digitization is not a natural service of telecom operators. Therefore, for telecom operators, under the trend of digital transformation, a new round of development has two basic directions, or two basic tasks. One is to continue to provide smarter pipeline services for thousands of industries based on the ability in basic network pipelines. In this regard, under the continuous policy pressure of “speeding up and reducing fees”, there is limited room for growth. The other is digital service capabilities on top of basic network pipelines, such as solutions based on continuous operation services, rather than a single network engineering construction. Another example is the application service field currently occupied by major Internet companies. In the latter direction, years of innovation and exploration by telecom operators are still unsuccessful in general at present, and in some places, it can even be said to be a failure for various reasons. Some failures, like other Internet applications, can only be found in the past history. The new innovations have not yet been effectively established, including the high hopes for cloud computing and other related industry solutions. In this situation, especially when entering the “14th Five-Year Plan” phase, it has a certain degree of social responsibility (political mission 0 and the digital construction work of economic benefits). It is also on the agenda. For the layout of digital empowerment, In this regard, China Telecom’s layout is gradually unfolding. 03 According to the information from Tianyan, China Telecom Digital City Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “China Telecom Digital City Company”) has completed the industrial and commercial registration on June 18, 2021. The company has a registered capital of RMB 900 million and the legal representative is Zhao Hongxun. The industrial and commercial registration information shows that China Telecom Digital City Company is registered in Xiong’an New District and its business scope is: 1. General projects: Internet of things application services; Internet of things technical services; technical services, technology development, technical consulting, technical exchanges, technology transfer, technology promotion: Internet of things technology research and development: information system integration services; Internet data services; big data services ; Computer system services; Internet security services; computer hardware and software and auxiliary equipment wholesale; computer software, hardware and auxiliary equipment retail; computer and communication equipment leasing; corporate management consulting; financial consulting; market research (excluding foreign-related investigations); marketing planning ; Advertisement production; conference and exhibition services; non-residential real estate leasing; housing leasing; property management (except for items that must be approved according to law, carry out business activities independently according to the law). Licensed items: the first type of value-added telecommunications services; the second type of value-added telecommunications services; call centers (items that are subject to approval in accordance with the law, can only be carried out after the approval of the relevant departments, and the specific business projects of the relevant departments shall be subject to the approval documents or licenses of the relevant departments. 04 From the perspective of China Telecom Digital City’s business scope, IoT-related services, including application services, technical services, and technology research and development, are the highlight. At the same time, high hopes are placed on data services. In terms of value-added telecommunications services, certain arrangements will also be made in accordance with the license. In accordance with the practices of base companies or professional companies in the past, in the digital age, digital city companies will also deeply integrate some related businesses that were scattered everywhere in the past, and adjust their business layout in an intensive manner. Therefore, taking the establishment of China Telecom Digital City Company as an opportunity, in the digital age, China Telecom will carry out a round of intensive layout adjustments in the digital field in accordance with the needs of strategic upgrading in the digital wave. The establishment of China Telecom Digital City Company is just the beginning. There may be other actions in the follow-up. In this case, several other telecom operators are likely to start similar business layouts. In the digital age, a new round of integration and layout can effectively achieve resource integration, business integration, and team integration, so as to create a new growth pole for development. At the level of practical operations, there is still a lot of work to be done, and some work, based on historical inertia, may still be tricky. Whether we can simplify the complex and break the game quickly, let us wait and see, or in other words, stay tuned!

Market power of Chinese companies Beijing takes on tech companies

Status: 23.06.2021 12:18 p.m.

Numerous large and valuable tech companies have emerged in China in recent years. The government did its best to promote the rise. In the meantime, however, the feel-good phase is over.

By Steffen Wurzel, ARD-Studio Shanghai A small coffee shop in Shanghai’s Jing’an business district. The shop is popular, a take-away coffee costs the equivalent of two euros, a bargain for this location. The fact that shopkeeper Wu Jialing is still worth it is because he can sell a lot of coffee within a short period of time. Customers pay by smartphone. You simply scan the QR code that is hanging next to the coffee machine. “Paying by app is incredibly fast,” says the shop owner. Serving the cash register, looking for change, washing your hands after contacting the cash register and cash – all of this is eliminated. Correspondingly more sales are possible.

Revolutionized dealing with money

The payment apps Alipay and WeChat-Pay have revolutionized the way money is handled in China within a few years. Instead of struggling with the mostly old-fashioned, complicated and sluggish state banks, most Chinese people now fully rely on the smartphone apps of the domestic fintech companies Ant and Tencent to handle their everyday financial transactions.

It is no longer just about cashless payments. The Alipay app can now also be used to take care of investments, insurance and old-age provision. That too weakens the role of the state banks. “In the area of finance, China has developed from a very backward place to a global pioneer in terms of fintech,” explains Martin Chorzempa of the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. Not only in the financial technology sector have new, powerful large corporations emerged in the country in recent years. There was also a start-up boom in other tech areas, financed partly by state and partly private venture capital.

Government rethinking corporate relationships

Whether online shopping, social media or delivery services: For years, companies such as Alibaba, Bytedance and Meituan have been able to rely on political and sometimes financial support from the government. But in the past few months the climate has changed, says Duncan Clark, head of the management consultancy BDA in the Chinese capital Beijing. “It seems that the government in China is rethinking its relationship with the big tech companies.”

Obviously, some of the big tech companies have grown too big too quickly for the communist leadership – and above all too powerful. The fact that cartel and supervisory authorities are taking action against the market power of large corporations such as Google, Amazon or Facebook is also true in Europe and the USA. But: “What makes the matter special in China are the outstanding position of the Communist Party and the tensions that exist again and again in China: Tensions between the large state corporations supervised by the CP on the one hand and the private sector on the other.” explains Clark.

Ant IPO stopped

These tensions became apparent in China over the past year. In several cases, the state and party leadership slowed down the emerging private companies. Ant, the parent company of the payment and financial services app Alipay, wanted to go public last November, for example. It would have been the largest IPO in world economic history. With him, the Chinese fintech company Ant would have collected around 30 billion euros. But two days before the equity debut in Hong Kong and Shanghai, the government surprisingly stopped the IPO. Ant does not meet certain regulations, it was announced. Further details: none. But in the following weeks it became clear that the cancellation of the Ant IPO probably came from the very top. China’s state and party leadership was apparently bothered by statements by Ant boss Ma Yun, alias Jack Ma, who said in a speech in Shanghai shortly before the planned IPO: “As far as the financial sector is concerned, we are still beginners in China. We do have Big banks – they are like big rivers. But what we mainly need are small lakes, ponds, streams and smaller rivers. ”

Ant Group wants to issue shares A record IPO in China

The financial services provider Ant Group plans to go public in Shanghai and Hong Kong in the next few weeks.

Open criticism crosses a red line

China’s financial system, previously dominated by large state banks, harbors risks, Ma criticized. That is unhealthy. A statement that many experts would endorse, but from the point of view of the communist leadership, the previously ubiquitous model manager had crossed a red line with his open criticism of the state banks.

The IPO of his fintech company Ant burst. Ma himself had to withdraw to a large extent from the public.

Chinese billionaire Alibaba founder Jack Ma reappeared

Chinese billionaire Jack Ma had not been seen in public since October.

Several company directors resigned

“At first it was thought that this was all about Jack Ma because he was so open about himself, and about his company Ant,” says management consultant Clark, who has also written a book about the rise of Jack Ma. “But since then we have seen much more extensive crackdown by the authorities against large tech companies in China.”

Other prominent startup founders and tech billionaires resigned. For example, Zhang Yiming, the head of the TikTok parent company Bytedance, and Huang Zheng, who ran the emerging Chinese online shopping group Pinduoduo. The reasons for the resignations are unclear, but most industry observers believe government pressure played a role. “The Communist Party is profiting enormously from the consumption boom that all these tech companies have triggered in China,” Clark analyzes. “But this is not a one-way street. We see a certain double dependency between the CP and the tech companies: Both somehow need each other, but in the end the party says: ‘You need us more.'” It is becoming increasingly clear that China’s leadership is no longer allowing private tech companies to get away with as much as it has before. They too must submit to the Communist Party’s claim to leadership. Criticism will not be tolerated, however subtle it may be.

Lost 25 billion euros in one post

This was recently also experienced at the delivery service group Meituan, against which the antitrust authorities are investigating. Meituan boss Wang Xing posted a historical satirical text that is more than 1000 years old in early May. This text is about criticism of a former Chinese emperor. Some understood the post of the company boss and multi-billionaire as a hidden criticism of today’s rulers. The Meituan boss deleted the posted text, but Meituan’s stock market price plummeted by almost 15 percent, and the company lost around 25 billion euros in value in one fell swoop. The fact that Xing then donated around ten percent of his personal fortune, around 1.8 billion euros, to a charity is understood as an attempt at penance. “Many company bosses in China are currently examining how they can get rid of outstanding titles or even parts of their assets,” reports management consultant Clark. “It’s about behaving as inconspicuously as possible, no longer being the tallest tree in the forest. Because it is the first to be felled.”

Thousands of drivers in Chongqing were fined 10,000 yuan!The largest one in China

editor — Sat, 26 Jun 2021 09:50:06 +0000

Thousands of drivers were fined 10,000 yuan for running online and car-hailing without a license!

A Chongqing driver broke the news: Recently, many Didi drivers have received warnings of punishment for engaging in online car-hailing operations without authorization. Those who received the information were fined a minimum of 10,000 yuan.

Judging from the text messages sent by the fined drivers, the general idea is: if a motor vehicle conducts business activities on the Didi platform without obtaining a business license, it engages in online car-hailing business activities without authorization. It must be processed within 30 days from the date of receipt of the notification, including the order number. It’s all clearly stated.

Most of the drivers who received punishment reminders were drivers who did not have “double certificates”, and someone broke the news that they had ran the car in February. They have not ran through so far, and they have also received information; some drivers have also received more than one fine information. . Judging from the current situation, there are about 10 WeChat QQ groups formed by the drivers after receiving the notice, with the number of each group ranging from 200 to 500, and at least several thousand drivers have received text messages.

Not only in Chongqing, Ma’anshan driver Li Cheng (pseudonym) registered for online car-hailing business for just 3 days. He was impounded for engaging in online car-hailing business activities without a license and faced a fine of 10,000 yuan.

In more than a month, there were 11 online ride-hailing drivers in Ma’anshan City who were known to face the same situation as him. Do not “dual certificate” when registering, and the sports car said it violated the regulations? In recent years, the rise of online car-hailing has brought a lot of convenience to travel. The services of various platforms such as Didi, T3, and Cao Cao have even become the main means of transportation for many people to go to work, and they have also attracted many drivers to stop by. But what puzzles these drivers is that the online car-hailing platform does not require the driver to provide “dual certificates” (“Online Booking Taxi Car Transport Certificate” and “Online Booking Taxi Driver Certificate”) to register normally during registration. At the time of dispatch, there was no indication that the lack of dual certificates was an “illegal operation”, which caused most drivers to be found out of violation after being investigated. Liang Bing of Ma’anshan registered as an online ride-hailing driver on the Didi platform at the end of 2020. He said that after the registration was successful, the platform had prompted that his “online ride-hailing driver certificate” had failed the review, but the platform gave it more than half a year. The “compliance grace period” requires him to apply for uploading an “online car-hailing driver’s license” before June 4, 2021, otherwise “the dispatch of orders will be restricted.” This reminder Liang Bing didn’t take it to heart, “Because I don’t know what my income is, and I don’t plan to run for a long time. Since there is a grace period, I can run and watch first, but I won’t do it.” Liang Bing said, the platform only reminded that it was not uploaded. “Online car hire driver’s license” will affect the dispatch of orders, and there is no notification of the risk of car detention and fines after being investigated. At the time of investigation, the platform showed that Liang Bing still had a 71-day compliance grace period. “If you know I’ll be fined on the road and I won’t run. I made more than 5,000 in three months, and a fine was 10,000. Isn’t this a pitted driver?” When Liang Bing was investigated, the platform showed that there was still a 71-day grace period for compliance Liang Bing also contacted the driver’s hotline of the Didi platform many times, and at the same time reported the situation of the vehicle being investigated on the driver’s platform, but no one has contacted him for resolution. “During the promotion, the platform only said that the registration is simple, the income is high, and it didn’t say what certification is needed. We thought it was legal to be able to take the order.” The driver Li Cheng said that after being investigated, the drivers went to Didi, Ma’anshan together. The outlets asked for an explanation, but it was not resolved. In order not to affect the use of the car, most drivers have paid their own fines. Operating online car-hailing without “dual certificates” will result in a fine of 10,000-30,000 In recent years, with the rapid growth of the online car-hailing market, relevant departments such as the Ministry of Transport have been introducing and adjusting relevant policies. The editor learned that as early as July 2016, seven ministries and commissions including the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the “Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Taxi Booking Service”. To obtain the “Online Reservation Taxi Transport Permit”, the driver who provides services needs to obtain the “Online Appointment Taxi Driver Permit”, referred to as “Double Pass”. In accordance with the above regulations, if anyone engages in online car-hailing business activities without obtaining a business license or in disguised form, the taxi administrative department at or above the county level will order corrections, give a warning, and impose a fine of 10,000 yuan up to 30,000 yuan, which constitutes a crime. , Investigate criminal responsibility in accordance with the law. This regulation will come into effect on November 1, 2016. According to The Paper, the comprehensive transportation administration departments in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Chengdu, Hangzhou and many other places have stated that the operation of online car-hailing requires “double certificates”, and illegal operations will face the risk of vehicle detention and fines. Driver registration on multiple online car-hailing platforms does not require “double certificates” Although relevant departments made clear regulations on the “dual certificates” for online car-hailing in 2016, some reporters investigated multiple online car-hailing platforms such as Didi Chuxing, Shouqi Chuxing, Cao Cao Chuxing, Ruqi Chuxing, etc., and found In the “driver joining conditions” and “registration information”, there is no mandatory requirement for the “dual certificate”, and some platforms do not even provide risk warnings for the “dual certificate”. in Didi Travel Platform , To register as an online ride-hailing driver only needs to provide four materials: ID card, driver’s license, driving license, and vehicle photo. In the “conditions for joining Didi’s online ride-hailing”, only the age of the driver, the type of driving and the crime Records, license plates, vehicle age, etc. are stipulated, and online ride-hailing drivers are not required to have “dual certificates.” Didi Chuxing does not require “dual certificates” for driver registration, nor does it indicate the risk of undocumented in Shouqi car-hailing driver app Regarding the driver’s joining conditions and vehicle joining conditions, there is no provision or reminder for the “dual certificate”. After the driver meets the basic age, driving experience and other conditions, he only needs to provide his ID card, driver’s license, driving license, and vehicle photo to register. Go through. Shouqi car-hailing drivers did not require “dual certificates” in joining While in Cao Cao Travel On the Cao Cao franchise driver app under its banner, among the materials required for registration of car owners, “Online Car-hailing Practitioner Qualification Certificate” and “Online Car-hailing Transport Permit” are displayed as “optional” status. Drivers can still register normally even if they do not have “dual certificates” ,Orders. In Cao Cao’s driver joining, “dual certificate” is an “optional” option Ruqi travel At present, the channel for special car drivers to join has been stopped, and only the owners of downwind cars are allowed to join. According to the customer service staff of the platform, the platform does not have a “double certificate” requirement for Shunfeng drivers to join. Drivers upload ID cards and other certificates as required on the APP, and they can accept orders after review. If the driver is investigated and punished by the law enforcement agency for being undocumented, he must resolve it by himself. Who gives the drivers an explanation? Now many people have reported the situation to the online car-hailing customer service, but have not received a specific response, and how to deal with it has not been determined. And this large-scale driver has been fined. What responsibilities does the ride-hailing platform bear in this? Why do the relevant departments only fine the drivers and let Didi leave it alone? Has the online car-hailing platform obtained operating permits in the relevant cities? Has the relevant department publicized it? The platform knows that there is no license and the document is illegal, why does it send the driver back to the driver? For most drivers who make a living, the fined money is not a small amount for many people. I hope the platform and society can give them an explanation. Do you have any friends who run online car-hailing? Has anyone received this penalty text message?

Adhering to the “bold” spirit in the brand DNA and the brand concept of “customer-centric”, we will implement the four core strategies of development in China, strive to achieve a new leap in the Chinese market, and lay the foundation for global success.” Strengthen localized R&D and marketing to meet the needs of Chinese users in all aspects As the world’s fastest growing economy, China has become the world’s largest auto market. Here, there are the world’s largest and youngest consumer groups and the most complex and diverse car-using scenes. In order to achieve another leap in the Chinese market, Hyundai Kia will further strengthen localized R&D and marketing in China, and launch more valuable products and services for Chinese users through in-depth research and analysis of Chinese consumers. As early as 2013, Hyundai and Kia established the largest overseas R&D center in Yantai, making full use of local resources to develop high-quality products for Chinese consumers. Today, in order to further improve its R&D capabilities in China and respond to new challenges in the automotive industry, Hyundai Kia plans to establish the group’s first overseas advanced digital R&D center in Shanghai in the second half of this year. Du Sikai, General Manager of Hyundai and Kia Motors R&D Center, introduces Shanghai Advanced Digital R&D Center The Shanghai Xianxing Digital R&D Center will focus on the current four disruptive technology development directions-autonomous driving, interconnection technology, electrification and shared travel. It is committed to providing Chinese consumers with a unique and worry-free travel experience and accelerating the development of Hyundai and Kia. China’s digital transformation. As part of the group’s global R&D network, China’s local technology and service achievements will also be further applied globally. At the same time, Beijing Hyundai and Dongfeng Yueda Kia will also carry out business innovation in all links including production, sales and marketing, focusing on the needs of local users. Welcome to the electrification era and introduce dedicated electric vehicle products recognized by the global market In response to the major changes in the global automotive industry’s electrification, Hyundai and Kia have actively implemented a bold strategy while developing all new energy models including hybrid, plug-in hybrid, pure electric, and hydrogen fuel cells to provide a full range of environmental protection fields. Solutions for car manufacturers. Facts have proved that Hyundai Kia’s bold strategy has achieved initial success. In 2020, Hyundai and Kia’s sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles ranked fourth in the world. Hyundai and Kia Electric Vehicle Dedicated Platform E-GMP In December 2020, Hyundai and Kia created the E-GMP (Electric-Global Modular Platform), the world’s most competitive electrified global modular platform. The platform has the advantages of flexible R&D scalability, structural optimization design for electric vehicles, standardized high-energy capacity battery system, longer cruising range, futuristic aesthetic design and revolutionary spacious cockpit. Based on the leading E-GMP platform, Hyundai Motor and Kia respectively launched IONIQ (Ioniq) 5 and Kia EV6, setting a new benchmark for sustainable development and innovation. Hyundai Motor’s IONIQ 5 received 18,000 orders in just one hour in Korea’s pre-sale, breaking the local pre-sale record of the Korean car brand. Kia’s EV6 orders reached 21,016 on the day the pre-sales officially opened in South Korea, reaching 162% of the 2021 sales target. Hyundai Motor IONIQ 5 and Kia EV6 built on the E-GMP platform debut on the same stage in China for the first time Relying on globally recognized leading technology and product capabilities, starting next year, Hyundai Motor and Kia will launch pure electric vehicles in China every year to consolidate their leading position in the Chinese electric vehicle market. Hyundai Motor and Kia will successively introduce IONIQ 5 and EV6, and launch exclusive pure electric models for the Chinese market. By 2030, Hyundai Motor and Kia plan to expand the new energy product matrix in China to 21 models, covering hybrid vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and providing Chinese users with a full range of environmentally friendly mobile solutions. Make full use of the leading hydrogen energy technology to help China transform into a hydrogen energy society Hyundai and Kia, as the first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell vehicle company, possesses globally recognized top hydrogen fuel cell technology. The world’s first hydrogen fuel cell dedicated model NEXO was launched in 2018 and will become the global sales champion in 2020. At the same time, in the field of commercial vehicles, Hyundai and Kia have successfully realized the commercial operation of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in Switzerland with the world’s first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell heavy truck XCIENT Fuel Cell. In order to further promote the development of the hydrogen fuel cell business and the construction of the hydrogen energy ecosystem, Hyundai Motor released the exclusive brand HTWO for hydrogen fuel cell systems in December 2020. HTWO, the exclusive brand of Hyundai’s hydrogen fuel cell system At the beginning of 2021, China clarified the environmental protection development route of “carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2060”. Among them, hydrogen energy has been regarded as one of the key technologies for China to realize an eco-friendly society in the future. In China, it is China. Hyundai and Kia actively responded to China’s environmental protection policies and took the lead in introducing the world’s leading hydrogen fuel cell technology into China, and established the first overseas hydrogen fuel cell system production and sales base “HTWO Guangzhou” in Guangzhou Construction Group. The plant covers an area of 207,000 square meters and is expected to be officially completed in the second half of 2022. It is estimated that the total investment will reach 8.5 billion yuan (including plant operating expenses) by 2030. This is the first plant named after Hyundai’s hydrogen fuel cell exclusive brand “HTWO”, and it is also China’s first large-scale hydrogen fuel cell system production dedicated plant. Hyundai and Kia will use this as a starting point to collaborate with local Chinese companies to gradually expand the supply of world-leading hydrogen fuel cell systems to industries such as automobiles, generators, ships, and trains. With its strong technological advantages and industry leadership, it will help China Transition to a hydrogen energy society. Hyundai Motor Group established its first overseas hydrogen fuel cell system production and sales base in Guangzhou In addition, in the second half of this year, Hyundai and Kia will start the commercial trial operation of the world’s best-selling hydrogen fuel cell vehicle NEXO in China, further strengthening the trust of Chinese consumers in the safety of hydrogen energy applications. In the future, Hyundai and Kia will also actively participate in the formulation of China’s hydrogen energy technology standards and play a central role in building a hydrogen energy ecosystem. Leading the transformation and upgrading of joint venture brands to become a favorite brand of Chinese consumers Hyundai and Kia will build a clear and differentiated brand image and a high-quality, high-end product matrix in China under the guidance of the new brand strategy of “More China”.

Fight against cryptocurrencies China closes data centers

As of: 06/22/2021 8:26 am

Virtual means of payment like Bitcoin are a thorn in the side of the Chinese government. That is why it is vehemently against it: Now data centers have been switched off in several parts of the country.

From Steffen Wurzel, ARD studio Shanghai

The Chinese government continues to vehemently oppose everything that has to do with Bitcoin. Banks and financial service providers were again asked not to offer any more services that have to do with crypto payment methods. One wants to preserve the stability and the security of the financial market and protect the assets and property of the population, said the state central bank of China.

China had banned trading in crypto-currency such as Bitcoin as early as 2017, as the first large country in the world. The so-called mining, however, i.e. the electronic generation of Bitcoins and Co with huge computer networks, was still tolerated by the Chinese authorities. The government has only been systematically taking action against decentralized and digital means of payment for around six weeks. Huge data centers were shut down in several parts of the country. Most recently, around two thirds of all new Bitcoins worldwide were generated with computers in China. This share will now decrease rapidly and significantly, say analysts.

Booming cryptocurrency China’s answer to the Bitcoin

In China, almost two thirds of all bitcoins on the world market are mined – still tolerated by the state.

Concept of bitcoin contradicts politics

Monetary and currency policy are centrally controlled in China. The central bank is directly under the communist leadership. The Chinese currency, renminbi or yuan, is not freely convertible. The decentralized and open concept of Bitcoin contradicts this policy and is therefore rejected by the Chinese government. At the same time, the government is working on its own digital currency, which, however, has almost nothing to do with Bitcoin.

The stricter action taken by the Chinese authorities against crypto-currency has helped Bitcoin to lose around half of its value in the past two months. The Bitcoin price is still a good three times as high as a year ago

The ten most beautiful towns in China, how many have you been to?

editor — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 17:27:05 +0000

In China, there are many beautiful small towns that can relieve our gloomy mood. They are not magnificent, but they have their own unique style. They are not prosperous. However, there are always one or two scenes that instantly hit us and envelop us. The heart of the thick shell. In this issue, we will take you to the top ten most beautiful towns in China.

Wuzhen, a living fossil of oriental culture
Wuzhen has a history of more than 6,000 years and has typical characteristics of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. It has still fully preserved the style and structure of the ancient water town in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

Its unique layout of towns with rivers forming streets, bridges as roads, streets and bridges interdependent, and roads and waters, constitutes a beautiful picture of people with small bridges and flowing water, standing quietly in the water pavilion and stone alley, which makes people There is a wonderful illusion that travels through time and space.

Among the many buildings in Wuzhen, the most typical and characteristic is the Water Pavilion. Half of it is on the shore and half of the attic suspended in the water, for several miles, while the water is on the boat, the boat passes under the window, rippling in the meantime!
Fenghuang, an ancient town in Border Town

Phoenix is named after the mountain on the back of it resembles a phoenix. It is a gathering place of ethnic minorities dominated by the Miao and Tujia nationalities.

In addition to the unique ethnic customs and beautiful landscapes of Phoenix, the most attractive thing is the architectural monuments of Ming and Qing Dynasties. Strolling on the stone street in the city, on both sides are the quaint courtyards from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as the towers made of purple sandstone, the blue brick walls, and the atmosphere of ancient history permeates every corner. 3. Yi Yaoli, the hometown of ceramics Yaoli is a small town under the city of Jingdezhen. Because it is adjacent to Jingdezhen, it is quite famous for its ceramic craftsmanship, and is known as the “Holly Origin, the Hometown of Tea, and the Sea of Forests”. The beauty of Yaoli is different from other tourist towns. It is located in a mountainous area with a forest coverage rate of 94%. As there is no excessive development, the natural landscape and ancient buildings are well preserved. 4. Lijiang, a paradise on earth The ancient city of Lijiang has a history of more than 800 years. Xu Xiake described the official residence of the Mu clan chieftain in the ancient town of Lijiang in “Diary of a Tour to Yunnan”: style. In addition to Mufu, Lijiang also has Wangu Tower, Black Dragon Pond, and cultures that contain the essence of the Naxi, Han, Bai, Yi, and Tibetan ethnic groups. They complement each other and blend together. The mystery of Dongba culture gives it even more. Added a bit of original color. 5. The source of peach blossoms in Wuyuan The beauty of Wuyuan comes from its most simple and primitive beauty. The rape blossoms in early spring, the red maple leaves in autumn, and the characteristic village buildings will make you have to be amazed. Wuyuan has well preserved 113 ancient ancestral halls of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the 28th building of the ancient mansion, 36 ancient houses and 187 ancient bridges. Reflecting the scattered villages in the water, the weeping willows swaying in the wind by the river, and the smoke rising in the evening, all these elements are like the Taoyuan Wonderland described by a top painter. 6. Heaven and Earth, Jiuzhaigou Jiusaigou is the first nature reserve in China whose main purpose is to protect natural wind. It consists of a valley with a depth of more than 50 dry meters, most of which is covered by forests. There are Shuzheng Village and Heye Village in the ditch. It was named after nine Tibetan villages. It is a piece of land that has never been polluted. It has a distinctive scenery that changes in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and has won the reputation of “Heaven on Earth, Heaven on Earth”. In summer, she is lush and full of vitality; in winter, white snowflakes dance like spirits in this quiet valley, making people forget all the disputes in the world. 7. Pingyao, a famous cultural city The ancient city of Pingyao is a famous cultural city with a history of more than 2,700 years. It is also known as the “four best-preserved ancient cities” together with Langzhong in Sichuan, Lijiang in Yunnan, and Shexian in Anhui. It is also the only ancient city in my country that has successfully declared the world cultural heritage with the entire ancient city. Ancient county town. Pingyao is known as “Little Beijing”. The wooden structure of Zhenguo Temple, the colored sculpture of Shuanglin Temple and the vicissitudes of the ancient city wall are collectively called the Pingyao Three Treasures. In the meantime, it’s like traveling to the Ming and Qing dynasties, with courtyards, slab streets, shops, temples, and residential buildings with ancient characteristics appearing in front of you, which can not help but create the illusion of going back in time. 8, the ancient city of Fengshui Langzhong The ancient city of Langzhong is said to be a city of Fengshui because the location and architecture of this place are very compatible with Fengshui. The location of the ancient city is completely in accordance with the theory of ancient Fengshui in my country, and it is in line with the “four disciplines of geography”-“dragon” and “sand”. The image of “six” and “water”. The checkerboard pattern of buildings in the city forms a group of buildings with different styles such as “half-bead”, “product” and “multi” shapes. It is a complete example of the complete “Heaven and Man” in the selection of ancient city sites in my country. The city still preserves 1.78 square kilometers of ancient street scrolls with Tang and Song patterns and Ming and Qing styles, and thousands of ancient courtyards. 9. Zhouzhuang, a small ink painting town Zhouzhuang is a typical Jiangnan town, although it is small but very delicate. 60% of the residences here still retain the Ming and Qing styles. There are nearly a hundred classical houses and more than 60 brick gatehouses. The bricks and tiles used in people’s lives are all cultural relics. When visitors walk into this place, they walk into history. The ancient town is surrounded by water, the river is the street, and the street is connected by bridges, so that visitors can hear the sound of the water no matter which direction they are walking in, and see the awning boats that go back and forth on the water. Boats are the most common means of transportation here. People live by the water, and even if they go out to a door, they need to row and row along the river. 10. Xitang, a Thousand-Year Water Village Xitang is a thousand-year-old ancient town. There are 9 rivers in the ancient town, which cut the town into 8 plates. This natural pattern has also derived many bridges with unique characteristics. It is called “Nine Dragons Holding a Pearl” or “Eight Faces”. The beauty of Xitang is typical of the tranquil beauty of the south of the Yangtze River. When the sun sets, the setting sun is slanting, fishing boats sing late, and it is like a poetic picture. After reading the ten most beautiful towns in China, how many have you been to? Like our sharing, welcome to follow forward or comment!

Is the machine “stuck”?Today, “China Intelligent Manufacturing” has been developed, and Europe and the United States have strongly hoped to buy

editor — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 14:49:06 +0000

Text: Wei Wei Machine tools are known as the “mother of industry”. The quality and price of modern industrial products are closely related to machine tools. As the world’s largest industrial country, my country must continue to improve the global competitiveness of domestic products. Get started. For a long time, my country’s machine tool import and export trade has a large deficit. In short, the import volume is greater than the export volume. It was not until June 2019 that it began to gradually turn into a surplus, but the amount of the surplus was not obvious. According to statistics from the China Industrial Research Institute, the localization rate of China’s high-end CNC machine tools in 2018 was only 6%. Similarly, China is also in a monopoly on the core parts and key technologies of machine tools. For example, more than 90% of my country’s existing high-end CNC systems come from Japan and Germany. Not only that, due to the technical blockade of foreign companies, the development of domestic machine tools failed to usher in a major breakthrough. Previously, Shenyang Machine Tool announced that it had 4 overdue bank loans with an amount of more than 100 million yuan, and the company was facing bankruptcy at one time. It is worth mentioning that among these 4 loans, 3 were overdue and the smallest was only RMB 1,839,900. A company that once had billions in sales is now unable to pay the millions in interest. Seven years ago, people might not have thought that Shenyang Machine Tool would be where it is today. In February 2012, Gardner announced the ranking of the world’s machine tool industry, and Shenyang Machine Tool became the world’s first with a sales revenue of US$2.783 billion. “It’s booming, and its death suddenly.” Since 2012, Shenyang Machine Tool has begun to fall at a faster rate than its rise: 7 years of operating profit loss, high debts, insolvency, and executives have resigned. Even the “high-tech product” that the company had high hopes of, the i5 intelligent machine tool, eventually became the last straw to overwhelm listed companies. You may think that China’s machine tool industry is not working, but it is not. The good news now is that the “Analysis Report on the Economic Operation of the Machine Tool Industry in the First Quarter of 2021” recently released by the China Machine Tool Industry Association shows that in the first three months of 2021, machine tool imports were 3.28 billion U.S. dollars and exports 4.03 billion U.S. dollars. The trade surplus reached At 750 million U.S. dollars, the surplus is the best quarter in history. So, what are the new changes in China’s machine tool innovation? As an important part of the competitive advantage of high-end manufacturing infrastructure, CNC machine tools are included in the strategic focus of “Made in China 2025” to accelerate breakthrough development, which is related to the safety and strategic guarantee of basic manufacturing. Even in today’s global integration, European and American countries and Japan still impose restrictions and controls on the import and export of my country’s important equipment and CNC machine tools, and they are more stringent. It can also be seen that my country must transform and develop its national industry and improve the overall competitiveness of domestic CNC machine tools. The scientific research project focusing on “high-level CNC machine tools and basic manufacturing equipment” undertaken by Zhang Haiou’s team from the School of Mechanical Engineering of Huazhong University of Science and Technology has an outstanding case this year. The CNC machine tool developed by Dr. Zhang Haiou’s team has successfully become a high-end machine tool with core technology, and has even been included in China’s restricted export list. This leading European and American machine tool is the world’s first 3D printing CNC machine tool developed by Huazhong University that integrates casting, forging and milling. It has obtained a number of international patent certificates. Even the United States and Japan, which have been far ahead in the field of machine tools, have also given it. Highly praised, an international authoritative magazine announced that my country’s first synchronous arc volume forging technology, which is different from the distributed technology widely used in the world, can obtain engine parts with performance far superior to forgings. This machine tool is a breakthrough led by Dr. Zhang Haiou. It is the world’s first integrated machine tool. Once a breakthrough was made, the country was included in the list of restricted exports. Seeing domestic breakthroughs, European and American companies have purchased equipment in China one after another, most of which are American aero engine manufacturers. They even said that the price was not a problem, but they were ultimately rejected by Chinese companies. What is the power of this machine tool? This machine tool is mainly used in a very special field, mainly in high-end industrial fields. These include aerospace, transportation, shipbuilding and nuclear energy. At present, in the research and development of domestic maglev trains, there is a key support component that is completed by this machine. The key support part of the light-printed maglev train suspension can support the maglev train to run at a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour. In fact, 3D printing technology has existed for a long time, but it is still in the verification stage. In 2010, Zhang Haiou led a team that produced a mold made from the outer layer of a large aircraft. In follow-up research, this technology was used to print important equipment such as titanium alloys for aircrafts and deep-sea submersibles. It has been verified that the parts and equipment produced in this way are more stable. In other words, this machine can directly improve the manufacturing technology of airplanes and other high-speed transportation equipment, which is very envied by foreign companies. Zhang Haiou wants to add 3D printing technology to the forging process. After 15 years of hard work, the team finally developed a metal 3D printing CNC machine tool for casting, forging, and milling. But in fact, at the beginning of the successful development, domestic and foreign people were not very attractive. They believed that the technology could only be applied to small parts. As for large parts, it was still very difficult. But then China used this technology to perfectly print out the length of 2 meters. 260 kilograms of metal forgings, successfully hit the face for people who were not optimistic about this technology. Now the maximum size that can be printed by this technology has risen to 4 meters, and it can be said that the future can be expected.

Burden on world trade Freighters jam off southern China The container ships jam in the fourth largest port in the world. The reason is a corona outbreak in Shenzhen-Yantian. The international movement of goods is impaired – possibly until the end of the year. From Steffen Wurzel.

Burden on world trade Freighters back up off southern China

As of: 21.06.2021 8:59 a.m.

The container ships are stowed in the fourth largest port in the world. The reason is a corona outbreak in Shenzhen-Yantian. The international movement of goods is impaired – possibly until the end of the year.

From Steffen Wurzel, ARD studio Shanghai

The congestion of the container ships off southern China is worse than that Blockade of the Suez Canal in March This is how Vincent Clerc, manager of the Danish shipping company Maersk, summed it up in a conversation with journalists in mid-June. At times, around 130 container ships from all over the world were anchored off the port of Shenzhen-Yantian, as reported by the Bloomberg news agency.

Weeks-long consequences for world trade

The reason for the traffic jam is a new – albeit small – corona outbreak in the southern Chinese part of Guangdong, where Shenzhen is located. Because the local authorities ordered the port of Shenzhen to be partially closed due to the corona, ships could not dock and cast off. Supply chains worldwide are out of step. German companies in the Guangdong region are also reporting that department stores are sometimes overcrowded. In the meantime, the situation in Guangdong has normalized, but weeks will pass before the backlog has completely cleared, estimates Nick Marro, an analyst for world trade at the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) in Hong Kong. The backlog will therefore continue for weeks through the global supply chains.

December 07, 2020

Exports in November China’s export boom is accelerating

China’s exports grew as fast in November as they did in February 2018.

Traffic jam in the fourth largest port in the world

Shenzhen-Yantian is the fourth largest container port in the world; Last year more than 27 million standard containers (TEU) were handled there. For comparison: In Hamburg there were fewer than nine million containers in 2020, i.e. around a third of them.

The logistics delays are a problem especially for the tech and electronics industry: around 90 percent of all electronics exports from China go through the port of Shenzhen-Yantian. Analyst Nick Marro expects the situation to remain tense, given the global openings after the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Relaxation probably only towards the end of the year

“There is no sign of an end to global consumer demand for goods and products. In many western countries, stocks are usually replenished in the third quarter of the year, which continues to ensure high trading activity,” says Marro. “This suggests that the tensions in global logistics and at the ports will not ease until the fourth quarter of the year.” In China, almost no reports are made of the container ship congestion in front of the port of Shenzhen-Yantian

Mengli Wuzhen, one of the many ancient towns in China, I want to go again after I have been there

editor — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 04:30:08 +0000

When it comes to Jiangnan water towns, there will always be endless topics. Their unique style of white walls, black tiles, small bridges and flowing water are also attracting countless tourists. As someone said: “Who doesn’t have the feeling of an ancient town yet, right? Right?”. Among the many ancient water towns, the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River are the most famous, and among these six ancient towns, Wuzhen is definitely one of the best. Regarding the history of Wuzhen, ancestors lived and thrived here more than 7000 years ago, and the history of its establishment as a town has a long history of more than 1,300 years. Looking down on Wuzhen from the air, the dense river channels, the houses built by the river and the ancient stone bridges are the cultural context of the entire Wuzhen. Wandering boats in it bring a moving humanistic atmosphere. Wuzhen is divided into east and west gates. Most of the tourists come to Wuzhen, which is actually Xizha. Wuzhen Xizha not only has the original Jiangnan water town, but also has a profound cultural heritage accumulated over the past millennia. Although Xizha is now a popular 5A tourist attraction with an endless stream of tourists, which is what we call a more serious commercial atmosphere, fortunately, the soul of the ancient water town is still there. There are 12 small islands, more than 70 stone bridges… I believe many people will also take a look when they travel to Wuzhen. The stone bridge is not only an important transportation channel for the Jiangnan water town, but also a beautiful scenery line. The stone bridge in Wuzhen is crowned. The most ancient town in the country, “Qiaoliqiao” is also a major landscape in Wuzhen. It is a must in the bridge landscape, and it is the kind of scenery that you will never tire of. The misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River is hazy, and if it was a light rain, walking in Wuzhen, it would be even more felt. Many people may also know that milk tea Liu Ruoying is the spokesperson of Wuzhen. She once said this: “The heart of Wuzhen, I have been here, and I have never left.” What I want to say is: “Even if you have never been here, you must appear here. In a dream”, it is no wonder that a northerner feels as if he has been there when he first went to Jiangnan Water Village. In the hot summer, the most comfortable time in Wuzhen is in the morning and evening. There are few tourists in Wuzhen in the morning, and you can even see the scene of smoke. In the evening, Wuzhen is relatively more lively. At this time, the temperature is more comfortable and you are walking on the quaint bluestone road. , Or find a small shop to sit down, or sit by the river for a while, it feels very free and comfortable. In this trip to Wuzhen, in addition to walking around the alleys, we also checked in many scenic spots, such as Wuzhen Old Post Office, Zhaoming Academy, Happy Hall, Water Market Wharf, Yuelao Temple, Muxin Art Museum and so on. This old post office is a testimony to the economic prosperity and commercial development of Wuzhen in history. Wuzhen Post Office was founded in 1903 and has a long history of more than 100 years. It is still in use today. You might as well go in and send a postcard to a friend or TA. Water City Pier is a place where you must check in in the morning, and it is also a great place to have breakfast. In the morning, when the morning mist has not cleared, many people have gathered here, and there are also many small shops, including tea houses, snack bars, tofu stalls, butcher shops, a fried dough stick, and a bowl of soy milk. Perhaps it is the start of a beautiful day in the water town. The best way. The natural color dyeing workshop in Wuzhen is an online celebrity check-in spot, especially the large drying field here. Seeing the blue calico hanging straight on the wooden poles in front of you, it feels like stepping into a TV series, which makes people linger. I don’t know, have you been to Wuzhen recently?

China’s passenger jet C919 is lagging behind schedule

Status: 19.06.2021 07:29 a.m.

China’s domestic C919 passenger aircraft is set to compete with Airbus and Boeing. But the approval is still missing – and there is still no date for the first delivery.

From Steffen Wurzel, ARD studio Shanghai

China’s government has invested billions in developing and building its own passenger aircraft in recent years. There are great hopes for the C919. This medium-haul aircraft from the state manufacturer Comac should be able to carry up to 190 passengers in the future. In terms of size and equipment, the C919 is comparable to the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. “Technically, the C919 is actually an international aircraft,” says David Yu, aviation analyst and economics professor at Shanghai’s New York University. Many individual parts of the machine come from the USA and Europe. “It will be assembled in Shanghai. Yes, the C919 is a Chinese aircraft, but with a significant proportion of foreign components,” says Yu.

New Jet C919 China is now doing middle distance

The first Chinese medium-haul aircraft has successfully completed its maiden flight.

Approval in China possible this year

Their Maiden flight had the C919 four years ago. It is still unclear when the machine will be delivered. The project is several years behind schedule, which is normal for all manufacturers around the world when they develop new aircraft models.

So far, the C919 does not even have official approval from the Chinese Civil Aviation Authority (CAAC). If this approval is granted – and that could happen this year – the machine will probably only fly in China for the time being. It is still unclear whether the responsible aviation authorities in Europe (EASA) and the USA (FAA) will also approve the machine.

In 2017 the C919 took off on its maiden flight – the start of delivery is currently still open. Image: picture alliance / Andy Wong / AP / dpa

For the time being, probably only in Germany

Nevertheless: Even if the Chinese medium-haul jet is initially only allowed to fly on domestic routes in the People’s Republic, Airbus and Boeing will not be left without a trace, says aviation analyst Yu. “Asia and especially China are the largest growth markets for the aircraft industry. If you also look at who ordered the aircraft – especially Chinese airlines and leasing companies – it becomes clear that the C919 will take Airbus and Boeing’s market share in China reduce, “said Yu. In China, all airlines and even leasing companies belong to the state – or they are subject to the instructions of the communist leadership. Ultimately, this can decide which aircraft type is bought by whom. This is also a clear advantage for the state-owned Chinese manufacturer Comac

Yongxin Optics manufactures the first “space microscope” in China and takes another big step in the development of high-end optical instruments

editor — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 13:47:08 +0000

Our reporter Wu Yixuan, trainee reporter Wu Jixia On June 17, China’s first space station, the Tianhe Core Module, ushered in the first batch of human “visitors”, and various space science experiments will be carried out in the Tianhe Core Module in the future. my country’s first microgravity space microscope experimental instrument developed and manufactured by Yongxin Optics will provide support for various technical research of the space station for a long period of time in the future. Mao Lei, the general manager of Yongxin Optics, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Securities Daily: “As a company with a high sense of social responsibility, the company has been silently practicing its own responsibilities over the years and actively engaged in the field of high-end optical instruments. Helping China Aviation The aerospace industry is our common dream.” “At that time, the scene came from the scene, and the instrument developed by the company was in the place covered by the five-star red flag.” Mao Lei said proudly: “The manufacture of my country’s first microgravity space microscopy instrument is of great significance to the company. On the one hand, it proves The company has the ability to undertake national high-end projects. On the other hand, through research on this project, the company has further improved its technical level in the field of high-end microscope manufacturing.” In fact, Yongxin Optics is one of the few domestic enterprises with high-end microscope manufacturing capabilities. Through independent research and development and industry-university cooperation, the company has mastered the design and preparation technology of the core components of the super-resolution microscopy system, such as large numerical aperture objective lenses and high-performance fluorescent filters, and completed the prototype manufacturing of the FSED super-resolution microscopy system. The company successively undertook the manufacturing of “Chang’e-2”, “Chang’e-3” and “Chang’e-4” satellite optical lenses, and participated in the manufacture of the “Quieqiao” relay satellite optical camera lens. Mao Lei told reporters: “The company has been commissioned since 2016 to develop the microgravity space microscopy experimental instrument. After 5 years, it took a lot of time and energy. Unlike a satellite-borne optical lens, this instrument is a complicated device. In addition to the higher requirements for the equipment foundation, all the core components of the microscopic experiment instrument are separated and packaged in the box and assembled by the astronauts in space. Therefore, it is also a new challenge for the company to consider the shockproof of the equipment. Equipment assembly It takes more than 20 steps to complete, so after the successful launch of Shenzhou 12, the company arranged a deputy chief engineer to provide technical support at any time.” Qi Hai, President of Beijing Teyi Sunshine New Energy|In an interview with a reporter from Securities Daily, said: “Every small step in aerospace technology progress is a big step in the development and progress of my country’s industrial manufacturing. / Ultra-thin new materials, multi-functional new equipment, high-efficiency new energy, etc. all reflect the development of my country’s manufacturing industry in recent years and verify the level of industrial upgrading.” Qi Hai| believes: “Yongxin Optics, as a leading enterprise in microscopes and special lenses, its products are also very suitable for the diversified development of the intelligent manufacturing industry brought about by the upgrading of my country’s manufacturing industry, including autopilot high-definition vehicle applications, 5G industrial remote control and machine vision Industrial applications of artificial intelligence such as, AR/VR, etc., can drive the industrial development of supporting assemblies and module components.” It is worth mentioning that Yongxin Optics has formulated a development strategic plan for the future 2021-2025, and proposed the “five-five-five” development strategy goal. It is planned to achieve 5 times the scale of output value and 5 times the per capita efficiency in 5 years. The company takes optical instruments and optical components as its two core business segments, and achieves rapid corporate growth through three development paths: high-end breakthroughs, brand growth, and capital operation. Especially for optical instruments, Mao Lei revealed: “The company’s high-end microscopy equipment represented by confocal microscopes has entered the commercial use stage and will soon complete the first set of sales.” (Edited by Shangguan Monroe)

The US military said that the “Reagan” nuclear aircraft carrier entered the South China Sea

editor — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 05:05:12 +0000

[Text/Observer Network Yang Zijiang]According to the news on the website of the US Navy’s 7th Fleet on the 15th, the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, under the escort of other ships, entered the South China Sea on the 14th. This is the first time the USS Reagan aircraft carrier strike group has entered the South China Sea during its deployment in 2021. The US military claimed that the operation was a daily training in the Indo-Pacific region.

According to information released by the US military, in addition to the “Reagan”, the aircraft carrier strike group that entered the South China Sea this time also included the “Ticonderoga”-class guided missile cruiser “Shilo” (CG 67) and “Arleigh Burke”. Class destroyer “Halsey” (DDG 97). Among them, the “Hilo” cruiser visited Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province in May 2013. This is one of the important bases of our army’s South China Sea Fleet.
US military sources said that after the “Reagan” aircraft carrier strike group entered the South China Sea, it was performing various maritime training tasks, including air force flight training, maritime strike training, and coordinated tactical training of surface units and aviation units.
It is reported that the “Reagan” aircraft carrier strike group will hold a routine “spring cruise” as planned. Affected by the new crown epidemic, the “Spring Cruise” of the “Reagan” in 2020 lasted for 5 months, breaking the record for the mission time of the aircraft carrier stationed in Japan since 1999. Last year, the “Reagan” entered the South China Sea many times, and this year, the “Reagan” has just completed a few months of small-scale renovation.
The US military also mentioned in the news that the US military previously dispatched the USS Wilbur (DDG 54) destroyer to coordinate with the Australian Navy ship USS Ballarat. The two navies were also on June 6-11. South China Sea operations.

Chinese Ministry of National Defense spokesperson Tan Kefei made a statement on May 20 regarding the illegal intrusion of the USS Wilbur into our territorial waters of Xisha, stating that the ship illegally broke into China’s territorial waters of Xisha without the approval of the Chinese government. The Chinese People’s Liberation Army organizes naval and air forces in relevant theaters to track and monitor US ships and warn them to leave. The intrusion of a US warship into our territorial waters in Xisha was a serious provocative action of very bad nature. We strongly oppose and strongly condemn it.

The most suitable city for the elderly in Northwest China, only 130 kilometers away from Xi’an, with low prices and less than 10,000 yuan

editor — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 02:25:06 +0000

Perhaps because our country is gradually aging, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to places suitable for elderly care, so that many articles about elderly care cities are particularly popular with readers. I have been walking outside all the year round, and I have basically traveled all over the country, and this trip to Shaanxi made me discover a city that is really suitable for elderly care, that is Shangluo City in Shaanxi, regardless of climate, environment, pace of life, consumption level, etc. In terms of measurement, Shangluo, in my opinion, is a very suitable city for the elderly. Next, let me introduce it to you slowly. It was taken in Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province in June 2021. Speaking of Shaanxi Province, people first think of Xi’an, Yan’an, Baoji, Xianyang and other cities. For Shangluo City, which is also a prefecture-level city in Shaanxi Province, people don’t know much about it. It is precisely because of this that Shangluo has become a small city. A well-known treasure place for the elderly. Shangluo City is located in the southeast of Shaanxi Province, bordering Lingbao City in Henan Province and Shiyan City in Hubei Province. Everyone likes to divide the south and the north, and the dividing line is the Qinling and Huaihe River. The north of the Qinling Mountains refers to the north, with four distinct seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the climate is relatively dry; the south of the Qinling Mountains refers to the south, which is a subtropical region with relatively humid climate, wet and cold in winter, and humid in summer. Many people say that Hangzhou is a paradise on earth, but I, a Hangzhou native, don’t think so at all. Hangzhou’s winter can be as cold as the bones, and Hangzhou’s summer can make people cooked. Take the current rainy season, wherever you go, it is wet and dew, which is quite uncomfortable. Shangluo City is located at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, at the junction of the north and the south. It is blocked by the vast Qinling Mountains. There is neither the dryness and sandy sky of the north nor the dampness and cold winter and hot summer of the south. It has excellent climatic conditions. The origin of the name Shangluo is due to the Shangshan Mountains and Luoshui within its territory. It is a good place with mountains and water, lush vegetation, fresh air and beautiful environment. Shangluo is only 130 kilometers away from “Xi’an”, the capital city of Shaanxi Province and the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties. Perhaps it’s because Xi’an is so famous that people overlook this close city. When the housing prices in Xi’an are rising all the way, Shangluo’s housing prices are quite stable. The highest housing prices in the entire urban area are only 10,000 yuan per square meter, and most of the properties are around five to six thousand. It is said that this has risen in the past two years. . So it can become a retirement city, such housing prices are very suitable. Although housing prices are low, the city’s municipal construction is quite good, with hospitals, schools, parks, and large shopping malls complete. The biggest impression that Shangluo gave me is a city that combines north and south. It has the atmosphere of the north and the fine detailing of the south, and the roads are clean and tidy. There is no crowded traffic, no fast-paced work here, and only a comfortable petty bourgeoisie life. When the housing price is low, the price of goods is low, and the cost of living is also low. Food is the top priority for the people, and everyone’s biggest concern must be food. Shangluo’s cuisine is dominated by Shaanxi dishes, accompanied by some southern dishes, and of course some local specialties, which are basically a combination of north and south, with sour and spicy flavors. Regardless of the red bowl of this dish, it is not spicy, but very fragrant. In terms of price, it is much cheaper than Xi’an. The prices of many restaurants are only one-third of Xi’an, not to mention compared with the big cities of Beijing and Shanghai. In addition, Shangluo’s food is quite large, and friends who come from the south will definitely be shocked when they see it for the first time. Like many cities in China, the nightlife of Shangluo people is also quite rich. In addition to various entertainment venues, the most are barbecue shops. I lived in Shangluo for a week. Don’t look at the bright sun during the day and the high temperature. At night, the breeze is very cool. This is completely different from the southern city that feels so hot that there is nowhere to hide. At this time, meeting three or five friends, beer and skewers, is really a great event in life. Of course, the price is also very cheap, you know it after you eat it. According to archaeological findings, there were ancestors living in Shangluo in the Paleolithic age more than one million years ago. In that primitive age, people would choose this place, which shows that it is very suitable for human life. Historically, this place was an important town connecting the north and the south that military strategists must fight for. It was guarded by many dynasties with heavy soldiers, and many cultural relics were left behind. Shangluo has also become an area where the natural and cultural landscapes of Shaanxi Province are combined. There are more than 1,200 cultural relics protection points such as ancient ruins and ancient buildings, making it a good tourist and leisure city. The above is an introduction to Shangluo from the aspects of food, housing, transportation, play, prices, climate, history, etc. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

China’s anti-sanctions law Another setback for relationships

Status: 16.06.2021 10:30 a.m.

With the anti-sanctions law, China has created an instrument against foreign companies. Anyone who adheres to EU or US penalties against Beijing faces retribution. The industry is unsettled. From Steffen Wurzel, ARD studio Shanghai Many foreign business representatives see the new anti-sanctions law as a further setback for the relationship between Europe and China. As usual, the European Chamber of Commerce, the largest lobbying association of foreign companies in the People’s Republic, spoke up. The law continues to politicize dealings with China, so the criticism. “Basically, it ranges from uncertainty to shock,” said Chamber President Jörg Wuttke, describing the reactions of the member companies.

“Sovereignty inviolable”

With the new anti-sanctions law, the communist leadership in Beijing can punish foreign companies in the future; For example, if these sanctions follow, for example, the EU or the USA, which are directed against human rights violations in China. This could affect the textile industry, for example: If the EU should decide to sanction cotton companies from the Xinjiang region because there are strong indications of forced labor there, then China’s leadership could say the other way around to foreign textile and sporting goods manufacturers: You are only allowed to continue in China Do business if you specifically use Xinjiang cotton.

“With this law, China shows that the sovereignty, the dignity, the core interests and the development interests of the People’s Republic are inviolable”, the constitutional lawyer Li Qingming of the State Chinese Academy for Social Studies defended the measure on the television channel CCTV. The state defends all of this. “We are resolutely opposed to the hegemonic striving and power politics of the West.”

Legal security for the government

Foreign observers in China criticized the fact that the law leaves much in the dark. The whole thing is “nebulous,” said a European diplomat ARD . It is clear, however, that the anti-sanctions law will not change much in the matter. Because the People’s Republic is not a constitutional state, and even without a legal basis, the communist leadership has repeatedly punished foreign companies and even entire states in the past. With the new law, however, the government can now deal with uncomfortable foreign actors in a supposedly legally secure manner.

The President of the European Chamber of Commerce, Wuttke, called the law a new “toolkit” for the government. “You can worry when you see the text. The text is – typically Chinese – very vague. So you could interpret everything into it,” he said. The draft law, which the members only saw as a finished law, includes very large circles. Even family members and subcontractors could be punished.

China invested less in the European market in 2020 than it has for ten years. Great Britain was particularly hard hit. It’s not just the corona pandemic to blame. China significantly reduced its direct investment in the European market last year. According to a joint report by the American Rhodium Group and Merics in Berlin, direct investments by the People’s Republic in the EU and Great Britain amounted to around 6.5 billion euros in 2020. Compared to the previous year, a decrease of 45 percent. That is the lowest level in ten years.

In the past year, even 77 percent less Chinese direct investment flowed into Great Britain. Even so, the UK remains one of the top three destinations for China’s investments in Europe – alongside France and Germany at the top. The three most important areas for Chinese investors were infrastructure, information and communication technology and electronics.

Stricter controls on Chinese purchases

However, many Chinese purchases are now being scrutinized more closely by the EU member states than in the past. Several planned takeovers did not materialize. In Germany, for example, the Federal Ministry of Economics stopped the planned sale of the radar specialist IMST from North Rhine-Westphalia to a Chinese company with links to the military. Several EU countries, including Italy, France, Poland and Hungary, had tightened their inspection mechanisms for direct investments from third countries last year. Investments continued to decline in the current year, according to the report. The reasons are the pandemic, high hurdles for capital outflows from China and tighter controls in the EU.

In addition, the tense relations between China and the EU are likely to play a role.

Another point of contention remains the human rights violations in China: In March, the EU Sanctions imposed on Chinese politicians and an organization for the first time in 30 years .

The trilateral space game between China, the United States and Russia accelerates in 2025

editor — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 11:50:11 +0000

By mid-to-late June, three Chinese astronauts had entered the “Tiangong” space station on the Shenzhou XII spacecraft and began preliminary operations. Faced with the situation where the former is on track, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which is eager to launch a manned lunar exploration program and multiple deep-space projects in 2024, but suffers from a limited budget, seems to have found the code of wealth.

As of June 18th, a group of professionals led by NASA Administrator Nielsen began to make a big splash on June 18th, emphasizing that the United States must always “watch China”. Therefore, the Biden administration needs to allocate more funds to NASA. The Western world has also set off a wave of “China challenging the U.S. space dominance.”

For a time, from Beijing to Washington were passively involved in a space race. Few people thought that outside of China and the United States, there would be a third challenger in low-Earth orbit. It was when it confirmed the China-Russia joint moon landing plan, and at the same time announced that it would launch the “National Orbital Space Station” project in Russia in 2025. The space game between China, the United States and Russia has thus entered an accelerated phase.

Also on June 11th, Rogozin, President of the Russian Aerospace Corporation, clearly talked about the future plan of ROSS in an interview with the country’s largest-circulation tabloid “Komsomolskaya Pravda”.

Rogozin pointed out in a straightforward manner that although Russia will still launch the “Science” capsule for the International Space Station (ISS) as planned on July 15th, to ensure that the ISS can still operate as planned until its retirement in 2030. But Russia will also end its cooperative relationship with ISS after 2026 and begin to build its “replaceable parts” space station, and launch its first core module in 2025. RIA Novosti also pointed out in a report on the 11th that Russia plans to build a “modular” low-orbit, multi-functional space station.

In fact, the Russian Aerospace Corporation’s space station plan will have some clues in February 2021. After Rogozin reported his work plan to Russian President Putin on February 11, Putin emphasized on the same day that Russia should continue to advance the manned space project in a rhythmic manner. Since this instruction was issued almost at the same time as the memorandum on the Sino-Russian lunar research station project approved by Russian Prime Minister Mishustin on February 12, the outside world once thought that the limited-funded Russian manned space project might become the future Sino-Russian project. Part of the joint moon landing project.

However, as Russia announced its withdrawal from the International Space Station on April 18, 2021, and began to display its “Diamond 2” core cabin and other equipment preserved before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the outside world discovered that Russia, which has an independent technical foundation, did not originally Satisfied with OEM space station facilities for the United States and assisting in the transportation of astronauts, Russian astronauts and decision-makers who still have memories of the Soviet era are brewing big moves.

The ISS project, launched in 1998, has become a symbol of humiliation in the Russian aerospace industry. Because one of the cores of the ISS, the “Star” functional module was originally the core of the “Peace 2” space station during the Soviet era. After the construction of the project was completed in 1985, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it was revised to the “Peace 1.5” program, which was used as a plan to extend the service life of the “Mir” space station. It was later modified in 1992 to include 5 space capsules. Peace 2″ plan.

However, as the United States abandoned its “Freedom” space program after 1990 and switched to purchasing and receiving Russian space supplies, after the disintegration, the Russian authorities quickly abandoned the “Peace 2” plan due to the economic situation. Russia originally planned The design for the “Peace 2” was finally integrated into the ISS.

At present, in the face of the fact that the United States owns 11 of the 15 module capsules of the ISS, Russia only owns 4 of them. After years of debate, Russia finally chose not to continue to contribute more to the US-led ISS. power. As Russia gradually determined a simple plan including core cabins, dedicated production cabins, logistics and logistics cabins, platform cabins, and commercial cabins after October 2020, the Russian Aerospace Corporation restarted the “Peaceful” program, including the “Diamond 2”. After the space capsule equipment based on the No. 2 program, the development and operation of the ROSS station became possible.

In a sense, the operation of the ROSS station may also be an important occasion for Russia to declare its space capabilities to China, the United States and European parties. When Rogozin announced at the recent space summit that Russia is discussing with France to transform the Guyana Space Center so that it can be used for manned space missions, Russia’s actions against the European Union also showed a reality, that is, low Earth orbit in the 21st century. Not only can it accommodate China and the United States, it may also accommodate Russia.

Original and truthful! If China Mobile launches Hongmeng system phones now, it will definitely be a win-win situation! unfortunately……

editor — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 11:00:13 +0000

China Mobile is about to push new phones again.

Yesterday, the official microblog of China Mobile Mobile Club announced that it will hold a new product launch conference on June 22 to release new terminal brands and NZONE S7 series 5G mobile phones.

From the configuration point of view, it is another “Made of the Mean”-the Nzone S7 series uses Dimensity 720 chip, equipped with 64MP triple camera, 90Hz refresh rate centered perforated screen, it is said that the frame is very narrow and supports 40W fast charge protocol.

From the configuration point of view, the “prospect” of China Mobile’s new machine is almost doomed-tepid. Not warm: With China Mobile’s strong sales channels, coupled with price advantages, sales should not be small; not popular: With such hardware configuration and China Mobile’s software capabilities, there is no possibility of “fire” at all.

Of course, the “tepid” state may be exactly what China Mobile wants. China Mobile’s purpose of making mobile phones is different from other mobile phone manufacturers. Others pursue sales, single-machine profit margins, and brand influence. These China Mobile It is not pursued, even its purpose is not to make money.

So what does China Mobile want? Guidance to the industry chain!

An executive of China Mobile once said that China Mobile will not compete with the industry chain for profit-“We are an operator, and it will not rely on terminals to make money. The main purpose of developing independent brands is to provide users with a better experience. , And being able to have a cheap and good-quality mobile phone is mainly to play a guiding role.”

To put it bluntly, China Mobile’s production of mobile phones is more of a demonstration effect-1. Don’t be too much of your mobile phone manufacturers. I can make mobile phones by myself, not all of you. 2. The price of your mobile phones is too high. Setting a low price to “hedge” it, forcing you to lower your price, is a market price regulator.

Therefore, the end of the Nzone S7 may be exactly the same as those of China Mobile’s self-owned brand phones before, with a splash of water and then silence.

However, in one case, Nzone S7 may be “hot”, that is-equipped with Hongmeng system.

Due to the ups and downs of Huawei’s ups and downs in the past two years, the Hongmeng system launched by it can be said to be the most concerned “software product” in history. Everyone has placed too much hope on Hongmeng, and hope that Hongmeng will one day Stepping on the colorful clouds to save China’s IT industry as a hero of the world, unfortunately, the reality is completely different from what everyone imagined. As of now, no mobile phone manufacturer other than Huawei has made it clear that it is equipped with the Hongmeng system on mobile phone products.

Therefore, if China Mobile chooses to launch a new machine equipped with the Hongmeng system at this time, the attention and recognition it will receive will be unprecedented!

In fact, China Mobile is fully equipped to launch a Hongmeng mobile phone——

First, China Mobile is not afraid of US sanctions. The reason why Xiaomi and other mobile phone manufacturers dare not launch Hongmeng system phones is mainly because they are worried that Google will cut off the supply of the “Google Family Bucket” to affect its overseas markets. China Mobile has no overseas markets at all, so there is no such concern. Moreover, China Mobile has long been “sanctioned” by the US government, and the so-called debt is not worrying.

Second, China Mobile does not make money by selling mobile phones. Mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi are worried that after using the Hongmeng system, it will be difficult to form a head-on competition with Huawei mobile phones, while China Mobile is just playing a ticket on mobile phones, so there is no need to worry about being squeezed by Huawei.

Third, China Mobile has a close relationship with Huawei. Mobile phones from other manufacturers have formed a distinctive and exclusive style. To use Hongmeng OS, it takes a lot of time and energy to optimize the open source code. China Mobile does not have this trouble. In addition to the close relationship between China Mobile and Huawei, it is directly developed by Huawei. The Hongmeng OS is very logical.

Huawei Hongmeng is now in need of industry chain support. If China Mobile can now stand up and help it, with China Mobile’s influence in the industry, it will definitely be a help for Huawei. And by carrying Hongmeng, China Mobile can also gain a large number of fans, which is also of great benefit to the promotion of its brand image, which is definitely a win-win!

Regrettably, it is understood that Nzone S7 is not equipped with the Hongmeng system. It can be said that China Mobile has missed the best opportunity to increase its influence and restore user reputation.

Of course, with China Mobile’s consistent “decision and then action” and “stabilized as Taishan” style of doing things, it is indeed a bit difficult for it to be the first external manufacturer to use the Hongmeng mobile phone system.

State-owned enterprise employees believe in “do not seek merits, but seek no demerits”. It is hard to say whether Hongmeng mobile phones have merits, but Hongmeng is on the cusp of things, and it is better to be less provoked, because one trick will lead to “pass”. Upper body, is it not fragrant to wait for retirement?

Out of stock, Chinese farmers show fashion made from vegetables

Bình Giang — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 05:18:06 +0000

No need for a Paris runway, Chinese farmers create their own catwalk to sell vegetables.

A scene from the farmer group’s video. (Photo cut from clip) A “fashion show” with “models” who are Chinese farmers wearing clothes made from vegetables and agricultural products is becoming an exciting story for Chinese netizens. In the footage shot in Chenxi County, Hunan Province, four women wearing costumes and accessories made from agricultural products perform a catwalk on a dirt road, with music and rural settings. The video begins with a woman holding a large horn loudspeaker and proclaiming: “Let’s welcome our village flowers on a dazzling stage.” After that, the group of women walked confidently towards the camera, wearing skirts made of vegetables, accessories such as guavas, loofahs and eggplants. They seem to have learned some catwalk tricks, like making cool facial expressions, not looking directly at the camera, and slightly nodding their heads when approaching the camera. The 1-minute show is the way these women came up with a way to attract buyers of agricultural products. Group of women performing homemade costumes. (Photo cut from clip) The video was filmed by a woman surnamed Xu and posted on the account Douyin, an application similar to TikTok. “The first person is my mother-in-law. I go third. We are all one family,” Xu said in the introduction to the video. “We make skirts out of vegetables and hats using what we find in the surrounding garden,” says Xu. The woman said she hopes the video “can make her life better”. “Our organic vegetables are not being sold very well. So I thought to use my Douyin account to promote agricultural products,” Xu said. On Douyin, many people praised this group of women as cute and commented that the world famous fashion events sometimes have to compete with them. Xu is one of thousands of Chinese farmers who already know how to use social media. Over the years, rural life-themed clips have become popular on online platforms. Li Ziqi became one of the most popular stars on Chinese social media thanks to his videos about the rural lifestyle.

The NATO Communiqué says China poses a “systemic challenge”, and China responds like this

Reporter | An Jing Reporter | An Jing The establishment of NATO in 1949 coincided with the beginning of the Cold War. The target of the military alliance was the Soviet Union and Russia thereafter. The NATO Communiqué never mentioned China. For the first time, NATO mentioned in the summit document that China is the 2019 London summit. There was a sentence in the London Declaration at that time that simply mentioned China, saying that China’s increased influence provided NATO with opportunities and challenges. But after the summit on June 14 this year, NATO included China and Russia in the communiqué for the first time as a “security challenge”, saying that “China poses a systemic challenge to the international order.” In response to this, the “Reference News” published an article that history has proven and will continue to prove that China’s rise is conducive to the peace and stability of the international community and does not pose a threat to the international community at all. In fact, the world today faces many real threats and challenges. The new crown pneumonia epidemic is still raging around the world, the global economy is sluggish, the recovery is weak, and global challenges such as climate change are becoming increasingly prominent. All of them urgently need to be addressed by the international community. The NATO summit continued the tone of US President Biden’s European tour of advocating containment of China. The spokesperson of the Chinese mission to the European Union pointed out that the China-related content in the NATO Communiqué is a continuation of the Cold War mentality and the political psychology of the group. “Systemic Challenges”

On the 14th, Biden participated in the first NATO summit since becoming the US president in Brussels. On the same day, the leaders of 30 NATO member states signed the communiqué.

In this 14,000-word communiqué, the word “Russia” appeared 63 times and “China” appeared 10 times.

The first two articles of the communiqué reiterated the meaning of NATO as usual, and the third article mentioned China.

Article 3 states that NATO member states are currently facing various threats, systemic competition and “security challenges”, and China and Russia appear together in the relevant expositions. Russia is characterized as a security “threat” to Europe and the Atlantic region; the term “threat” is not used against China, but China is regarded as a “challenge” that requires NATO member states to jointly address.

The latter part of the communiqué stated that China’s actions “posed a systemic challenge to the international order based on rules and areas related to alliance security”. NATO claims that China has expanded the number of nuclear weapons, is “opaque” in military modernization, has conducted military cooperation with Russia, and participated in Russia’s military exercises in Europe and the Atlantic.

At the same time, the communiqué stated that NATO will maintain a constructive dialogue with China in possible areas, including NATO-related matters and joint response to climate change.

NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg emphasized in an interview with reporters after the summit that this is the first time that NATO has mentioned China in the communiqués and documents of the leaders’ summit. He said that China is not an “rival” of NATO, but it poses a challenge to NATO’s security.

Stoltenberg claimed that China’s defense budget ranks second in the world. NATO can see China in Africa and the Arctic Circle. China also invests in key infrastructure of NATO countries. He said that in view of this, NATO needs to respond to China’s challenges with greater resilience and higher technology.

He said that responding to challenges does not mean “moving NATO to Asia”, but to strengthen the member states’ own technology, cyber defense, and overall defense capabilities.

Regarding the NATO Communiqué and Stoltenberg’s speeches, the spokesperson of the Chinese mission to the European Union pointed out that NATO’s claim that China constitutes a so-called “systemic challenge” is a slander of China’s peaceful development and a misunderstanding of the international situation and its own role. The judgment is even more attributable to the continuation of the Cold War mentality and the political psychology of the group.

The spokesperson of the Chinese mission to the European Union said that in 2021, China’s defense budget will be 1.35 trillion yuan (approximately US$209 billion), with a GDP accounting for about 1.3%, which is less than NATO’s “pass line”. In contrast, the total military spending of the 30 NATO countries in 2021 is expected to be as high as 1.17 trillion US dollars, accounting for more than half of the total global military spending and 5.6 times that of China.

In addition, the number of nuclear weapons in China is not at the same level as that of NATO countries such as the United States. According to statistics from think tanks such as Sweden and the United States, the number of nuclear warheads in NATO member states is nearly 20 times that of China. China always scrupulously abides by not being the first to use nuclear weapons at any time and under any circumstances, and has made a clear commitment to unconditionally not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states and nuclear-weapon-free zones.

The spokesperson pointed out that China has always been committed to peaceful development and will not pose “systematic challenges” to anyone, but if anyone wants to “systematic challenges” to us, we will not remain indifferent.

At the same time, within European countries, there are also different views on the relationship between China and NATO.

After the NATO summit on Monday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that China should not over-position the security risks posed by China and should find a “balance” because China is also a partner in many areas.

French President Macron stated that the most pressing issue facing NATO is combating terrorism and security issues related to Russia, and that China should not be distracted by China.

Before attending the NATO summit, British Prime Minister Johnson reiterated that NATO does not want to enter a new cold war with China.

Incorporate space into collective defense

The most important clause of the North Atlantic Treaty is Article 5, which is the collective defense clause. This article stipulates that an armed attack on one or more contracting states shall be regarded as an attack on NATO as a whole.

After the United States suffered the “September 11” attack in 2001, NATO used the collective defense clause for the first time. At the NATO summit in 2017, the then-U.S. President Trump refused to express support for the collective defense clause, which caused dissatisfaction among other NATO members.

At this summit, Biden, who is bent on repairing relations with allies, emphasized that NATO is of vital importance to the interests of the United States, and called the collective defense clause a “sacred obligation” of the United States.

In addition to emphasizing the principle of collective defense, the NATO Communiqué also included cyber attacks and space attacks into the scope of collective defense.

The communiqué pointed out that NATO will determine whether member states can use collective defense clauses in accordance with the principle of specific handling of specific situations. NATO claims that under certain circumstances, large-scale cyber attacks can constitute “armed attacks.”

At the same time, the communiqué pointed out for the first time that space attacks pose a “clear challenge” to NATO’s security and threaten national security, so similar attacks may trigger collective defense clauses.

However, whether to use collective defense clauses against such attacks will also be determined by NATO on a case-by-case basis. At present, about 2,000 orbiting satellites have been launched around the world, and more than half of them are operated by NATO member states.

Prior to this, both Ukraine and Georgia expressed their strong desire to join NATO, especially Ukraine.

When Russia increased its troops on the eastern border of Ukraine on a large scale, Ukrainian President Zelensky repeatedly stated that joining NATO is the only way to solve the problem.

As far as Russia is concerned, Ukraine’s accession to NATO will directly threaten Russia’s security, which is an absolute taboo. Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned in a televised speech that Ukraine’s accession to NATO would enable NATO missiles to reach Moscow and other key areas of Russia within seven minutes.

Putin said that this situation is equivalent to deploying Russian missiles in Mexico or Canada. He threatened that at least half of the Ukrainian people did not want to join NATO because “they do not want to put themselves at the forefront of the war, and they do not want to be bargaining pawns or cannon fodder.”

Ukraine was not invited to participate in the NATO summit this week. On Monday, Zelensky called on Biden to make a clear statement on whether Ukraine can join NATO; Biden responded that whether Ukraine can join NATO “still needs to be observed.”

Biden will hold the first summit with Putin in Geneva on Wednesday, local time.

Haha, the US-Europe “Airbus Boeing” dispute is truce, CNN is rushing to interpret: Both sides are trying to contend with China

editor — Sun, 20 Jun 2021 23:21:08 +0000

[Global Network Report]The United States and Europe have decided to temporarily “truce” the Airbus and Boeing dispute. China must be involved in this matter?

CNN reported on the 15th that several U.S. officials confirmed that the United States and Europe decided to truce at the summit in Brussels, that is, to suspend trade disputes caused by their respective government subsidies to Airbus and Boeing. Although no U.S. and European officials have directly said that the truce is related to China, CNN explained that both the U.S. and Europe are currently trying to counter China’s growing economic influence, and the truce is conducive to enhancing relations with the Atlantic Ocean.

CNN said in the headline of the report, “The United States and Europe have terminated the Airbus-Boeing dispute with their eyes on the threat from China”, but it gives the impression that American media such as CNN always “have their eyes on China” when reporting on their own. CNN said that the United States and the European Union will suspend the collection of tariffs caused by this dispute within five years. The two parties will also issue a statement detailing the “acceptable (government) support” for the two major aircraft manufacturers.

According to reports, US Trade Representative Dai Qi said that this “resolved the long-standing trade troubles in US-EU relations.” “It’s not fighting with one of our closest allies, but finally uniting and responding to threats together,” Dai Qi said. However, she also said that if Europe does not abide by the agreement, the United States will reserve the right to re-impose tariffs.

According to the report, the Airbus Boeing dispute can be traced back to 2004, when the European Union stated that Boeing had received $19 billion in unfair subsidies from the US federal and state governments. In the same year, the United States made similar accusations regarding European subsidies to Airbus.

CNN also quoted a senior government official as saying that later on the 15th, the United States and the European Union will announce the establishment of a joint committee to resolve trade and technical issues. This is to a certain extent to better examine “China’s economy. activity”. The official also said, “The purpose of this working group is to formulate route rules for the next generation, especially in the fields of economy and emerging technologies.”

Regarding the relationship between the United States, the European Union and China, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated today (15th) that China has maintained continuity and stability in its EU policy, has always regarded the EU as a comprehensive strategic partner, and has always firmly supported Europe. The integration process supports the unity and self-reliance of the EU and supports the EU to play a greater role in international affairs. China believes that China and Europe are comprehensive strategic partners, not institutional opponents. Cooperation between China and Europe is far greater than competition, and consensus far exceeds differences. China-EU cooperation is complementary, mutually beneficial and win-win, and has brought tangible benefits to the people of both sides. We have always hoped that the EU and China will meet each other halfway, uphold the spirit of mutual respect, equal treatment, mutual benefit and win-win results, and jointly promote the healthy and stable development of China-EU relations.

Zhao Lijian said that as for the United States trying to draw a line with ideology and engage in a small circle against China, what I want to emphasize is that China and Europe represent two important forces in a multipolar world. We believe that the EU will continue to strengthen its strategic autonomy and will not be kidnapped by other countries’ wrong China policies.
