　　　 Planning of Provincial Highway Network in Jiangsu Province

　　(2011-2020)

　　As an important part of the comprehensive transportation system, provincial highway network is an important infrastructure guarantee for the economic and social development of our province. Since 2003, under the guidance of the Notice of the General Office of the Provincial Government on Forwarding the Adjustment Plan of Provincial Highway Network in Jiangsu Province of the Provincial Communications Department (Su Zhengban [2003] No.5, hereinafter referred to as the Adjustment Plan), after nearly 10 years of efforts, the provincial highway network in our province has made great progress in terms of total scale and service capacity. By the end of 2010, the total mileage of national and provincial highways in the province reached 12,989 kilometers, including 4,825 kilometers of national highways (2,783 kilometers of national highways and 2,042 kilometers of ordinary highways) and 8,164 kilometers of provincial highways (1,263 kilometers of expressway and 6,901 kilometers of ordinary highways), and the planned route of the Adjustment Plan was basically completed. At present, the national highway and provincial highway network in our province has undertaken more than half of the total road traffic in the province. The implementation of "Adjustment Plan" has greatly eased the pressure of highway transportation in our province, effectively improved the level of road network service and security, strengthened regional ties, improved the investment environment, and effectively promoted the sustained and healthy economic and social development of our province.

　　In the coming period, our province will take promoting scientific development and building a beautiful Jiangsu as the theme, accelerating the transformation of economic development mode as the main line, highlighting the drive of innovation, fully implementing the "six stresses", fully implementing the "eight projects", promoting the "two firsts" well and quickly, and constantly creating a new situation of scientific development. Therefore, it has become an urgent task to build a modern comprehensive transportation system with reasonable layout, perfect functions, smooth connection, safety and high efficiency to guide and support economic and social transformation and development. Under the background of the continuous improvement of urbanization level, continuous adjustment and optimization of industrial structure, accelerated construction of comprehensive transportation system and Jiangsu coastal development becoming a national strategy, it is necessary to proceed from the needs of long-term economic and social development, scientifically plan the rational layout of provincial highway network, guide the scientific development of trunk highway network, and fully meet the needs of building a well-off society at a higher level in an all-round way and taking the lead in basically realizing modernization.

　　First, the necessity and urgency of planning

　　(A) is to meet the needs of economic and social modernization in Jiangsu Province.

　　The 12th Party Congress of the whole province clearly stated that in 2015, Jiangsu will build a well-off society at a higher level in an all-round way, and places with conditions such as southern Jiangsu will take the lead in basically realizing modernization. After five years of hard work, by 2020, the whole province will basically realize modernization, reaching the level of moderately developed countries as a whole. Such a development mode and speed will inevitably lead to the upgrading of the total flow of personnel and materials in the whole society. As the backbone of supporting economic development and undertaking social transportation demand, the trunk highway network composed of national highways and provincial highways must adhere to the principle of "overall development, local conditions and classified guidance" to further improve its network capacity and service level.

　　With the comprehensive promotion of the integration strategy of the Yangtze River Delta, the economic and industrial ties between our province and neighboring provinces and cities will be closer, and it is necessary to further strengthen inter-provincial transportation services and support and guarantee capabilities. With the comprehensive promotion of the "four-edge" strategy of industrial development in our province, especially in the context of Jiangsu coastal development becoming a national strategy, the "four-edge" pattern of industrial layout in the province will be further strengthened in the future, and the industrial division of labor along the transportation corridor will be more refined and the industrial cooperation will be closer, which will induce a large number of channel traffic demand. At present, some highway transport corridors have shown obvious traffic tension, and it will be difficult to meet the traffic demand induced by industrial upgrading in the future.

　　At present, there are 139 national and provincial development zones in our province. In the coming period, the innovation-driven strategy implemented by our province will further guide the transformation of economic development mode. As the main position of innovation implementation, new economic gathering points with various economic development zones, high-tech industrial bases and logistics parks as the main body will emerge continuously. Highway transportation is the most convenient, flexible, fast and efficient among various modes of transportation. However, the national highways and provincial highways in our province have not been able to fully connect or cover the above-mentioned economic agglomeration points, especially some newly established national or provincial development zones in recent years. Therefore, it is urgent to change the status quo in order to further enhance the service guarantee role of transportation in economic transformation and upgrading.

　　(2) It is the need to effectively protect and improve people’s livelihood.

　　At present, China is in a period of social transformation, and the rapid improvement of urbanization level is one of its main characteristics. According to the forecast, the proportion of urban population in Jiangsu will exceed 65% by 2020. The spatial pattern of urban and rural areas in the province will undergo profound changes, the development speed of large and medium-sized cities will gradually accelerate, the scale and grade of cities will steadily increase, the number of small and medium-sized cities will increase significantly, and the urbanization process will enter a period of comprehensive accelerated development.

　　With the development of urbanization, the characteristics of highway transportation will change obviously. On the one hand, the frequency of short-distance travel within the city and between cities is increasing, and the demand for flexible travel such as tourism, leisure and visiting relatives and friends is increasing rapidly. On the other hand, the phenomenon of highway "market town" will become more and more serious, and transit traffic and internal traffic in cities and towns will interfere with each other, which will affect highway traffic efficiency and urban and rural residents’ travel.

　　According to the requirements of the Ministry of Transport, the construction of toll road system with expressway as the main body and non-toll road system with ordinary road as the main body will become the future development direction of highway traffic in China. Ordinary highway is a non-toll highway that provides basic universal services for public travel. It is the transportation infrastructure with the widest coverage, the largest population, the most common service and the strongest public welfare in China, and it is an important basic condition for ensuring economic and social development and people’s production and life. In the important period of social transformation in our province, we should guide the rapid development trend of urbanization with the concept of moderate advancement, constantly optimize the national and provincial highway networks, especially the highway networks serving the rapidly urbanized areas, improve the overall coverage and service level of the highway networks, realize public welfare basic services, and further improve people’s livelihood.

　　(3) It is the need to improve and upgrade the comprehensive transportation system.

　　The coming period will be an important period for our province to accelerate the construction of modern comprehensive transportation system. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, we will focus on optimizing the transportation structure, strengthening the coordination between various modes of transportation, between urban and rural transportation and between intercity transportation, highlighting the construction of comprehensive transportation corridors and hubs and the construction of Jiangbei railway network, taking the lead in basically realizing the modernization of transportation infrastructure, and basically forming a comprehensive transportation system with reasonable layout, perfect functions, smooth connection, safety and efficiency.

　　The construction of modern comprehensive transportation system will bring about changes in the overall transportation structure of the whole province. Long-distance highway and bulk passenger and cargo transportation will be transferred to a certain extent, and the demand for short-distance distribution between highways and various comprehensive transportation hubs will continue to increase. Therefore, it is necessary to re-examine the function and role of highway transportation from the perspective of comprehensive transportation. As the backbone of the highway network, the national highway and provincial highway network should highlight the advantages of network coverage, focus on filling the gaps and weak areas served by other modes of transportation, connect all kinds of important comprehensive transportation nodes, strengthen the connection and cooperation of multiple modes of transportation, realize complementary advantages, and accelerate the construction of comprehensive transportation system.

　　According to the plan, the expressway network in our province will be basically completed during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, which can meet the transportation needs of important passages together with other modes of transportation such as railways. However, at present, the connection between expressway and ordinary highway is not smooth enough, and nearly 50% of interchanges lack high-grade highway connection or poor maintenance and management of connecting roads, which need to be improved and give full play to the overall transportation efficiency of highway network. In addition, compared with developed countries (regions), the scale of national highways and provincial highways in our province is still insufficient. At present, national highways and provincial highways in our province account for 3.2% and 5.4% of the total highway mileage respectively, while those in Japan are 5.2% and 10.7%, those in the United States are 5.4% and 5.9%, and those in Taiwan Province are 2.3% and 11.7%. The mileage of national highways and provincial highways in our province is relatively low, especially the mileage of ordinary provincial highways is relatively small. In 2010, the total mileage of national highway and provincial highway network in our province was 12,989 kilometers, which took up 50.9% of the total highway traffic with 8.6% of the highway mileage, and the contradiction between travel supply and demand remained outstanding. Therefore, the highway network structure in our province still needs to be continuously improved, and the proportion of provincial highway network needs to be improved urgently.

　　In 2010, the number of civilian cars in our province was 5.677 million, with an average annual growth rate of 19.7% during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period. In the next 10 years, the number of cars will continue to grow steadily, and it is expected to reach 14.725 million in 2020, 2.6 times that of 2010. With the acceleration of the automobile era, the carrying capacity of the future highway network is facing great challenges. Planning provincial highway network and considering the long-term layout, reasonable structure and construction of trunk highways in our province are effective ways to solve the shortage of highway network capacity.

　　(4) It is necessary to strengthen the management and maintenance of trunk highways.

　　The implementation of the reform of refined oil taxes and fees has fundamentally changed the sources of funds for highway traffic development. This reform requires the overall arrangement of highway construction and maintenance funds to realize the optimal allocation and rational utilization of resources, which has a far-reaching impact on highway infrastructure construction, maintenance and industry management.

　　In order to support the development of ordinary highways, the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Forwarding Several Opinions of the Ministry of Transport of the Ministry of Finance of the Development and Reform Commission on Further Improving Investment and Financing Policies to Promote the Sustainable and Healthy Development of Ordinary Highways (Guo Ban Fa [2011] No.22) clearly points out that it is necessary to study and establish a long-term investment and financing mechanism based on public finance, with clear responsibilities of governments at all levels and matching financial resources and powers.

　　After years of practice, our province has accumulated rich experience in the maintenance and management of national and provincial highways, with a relatively high level of maintenance and a relatively good road condition and service level. However, due to the small scale, the overall service capacity of the entire highway network is limited. In recent years, a number of local highways with higher grades and longer mileage have been built in various parts of the province, which have actually assumed the function of provincial roads and played a greater role in the economic and social development of various places. However, this part of the road has a low administrative level and a low level of management and maintenance. Therefore, from the perspective of improving the overall efficiency of the road network and maintaining the stock resources, by compiling the overall and long-term provincial road network planning, the future development scale and scientific layout of the provincial road network in our province can be planned as a whole, and the local roads that undertake the provincial road function can be included in the provincial road network, which is the basis for ensuring the high-standard management and maintenance of the provincial road network in our province, and also the basis for establishing and improving the long-term investment and financing mechanism that matches financial resources and powers, and strengthening the sustained and healthy development of Jiangsu’s highway traffic security economy and society.

　　To sum up, doing a good job in the planning of provincial highway network in our province is an important measure to adapt to the new changes in economic and social development, the development of transportation in the new period, and the need to strengthen the maintenance and management of trunk highways. It is of great significance to promote the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of highway traffic in Jiangsu and further safeguard and improve people’s livelihood.

　　Second, the traffic demand forecast

　　(1) Distribution characteristics of passenger and cargo flows.

　　Generally speaking, the steady development of the province’s economy and society will bring about the rapid growth of road traffic in the province, and the acceleration of the integration process of the Yangtze River Delta will further promote the exchanges between Jiangsu and neighboring provinces and cities, while the improvement of the comprehensive transportation system will gradually reduce the proportion of long-distance road transit traffic. By 2020, the proportion of internal flow, entry-exit flow and transit flow of highway traffic will change from 59:36:5 in 2010 to 63:34:3.

　　In the future, the links between central Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu and southern Jiangsu will be closer, the passenger and cargo traffic volume in the vertical passages in the province will continue to grow steadily, and the traffic pressure across the river will further increase. Shanghai-Nanjing, coastal areas, along the Yangtze River and East Longhai are the main channels of passenger and cargo flow in the province, among which Shanghai-Nanjing channel will remain the busiest road transport channel in the province, mainly undertaking high-frequency, fast intercity passenger transport and high value-added and high-timeliness cargo transport; The growth rate of passenger and cargo flow along the coastal and riverside passages will be the fastest; The East Longhai Passage will become the main road transport passage radiating from Jiangsu coastal areas to the central and western regions of the country.

　　(2) The growth trend of traffic volume.

　　In the future, the traffic volume of national highway and provincial highway network will show a rapid growth trend. In 2020, the total traffic volume of national highway and provincial highway network in the province will increase to 595.28 million vehicles. Km/day, the average traffic volume will increase to 18,128 vehicles/day, 2.2 times and 1.3 times that of 2010, respectively, which puts forward higher requirements for the overall scale and technical level of national and provincial highway networks.

　　In the future, the traffic volume of the road network in southern Jiangsu, central Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu will still increase gradually from north to south, but the gap will gradually decrease. Among them, the average traffic volume of national highway and provincial highway network in southern Jiangsu will increase from 19,425 vehicles/day in 2010 to 23,205 vehicles/day in 2020, reaching the technical standard of 4-6 lane first-class highway; The number of vehicles/day in central Jiangsu increased from 10920 to 16905, reaching the technical standard of four-lane first-class highway; Northern Jiangsu increased from 9773 vehicles/day to 13901 vehicles/day, which is close to the technical standard of four-lane first-class highway. The difference of regional traffic trips requires the formulation of differentiated development policies to realize the coordinated development of highway traffic infrastructure in various regions.

　　(3) Characteristics of traffic volume generation and change.

　　Highway transportation will enter the stage of rapid growth of passenger transportation characterized by "personalized transportation" and freight transportation characterized by "more batches and less batches".

　　With the sustained and rapid economic growth and the sustained and rapid development of the automobile industry, the income and consumption level of residents have improved significantly. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the number of civilian cars in our province increased by 19.7% annually. In the next 10 years, the number of cars will continue to grow steadily, the proportion of car trips will continue to increase, and passenger trips will be diversified, high-level and unevenly distributed in time and space. Residents’ travel frequency and travel distance will greatly exceed the existing level, and intercity traffic, business travel and commuting traffic will be more frequent, which will also put forward higher requirements for comfort, convenience and safety of travel.

　　The average value of road transport goods will be significantly increased, while the average volume and tonnage will gradually decrease, and the growth rate of total transport demand will be slowed down, but the demand for transport service quality will be higher. The demand for freight with many batches, small batches, high value, strong timeliness and high dispersion will be greatly increased, and the demand for short-and medium-distance distributed transportation will be obviously accelerated, and it will gradually become the main demand for road transport. According to the forecast, in 2020, the passenger traffic, passenger turnover, freight volume and cargo turnover of the whole society will reach 4.7 billion passengers, 263.3 billion person-kilometers, 2.8 billion tons and 264.3 billion ton-kilometers, respectively, which are 2.2 times, 2.2 times, 2.3 times and 2.3 times that of 2010.

　　III. Guiding ideology and planning principles

　　(1) Guiding ideology.

　　Guided by the implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development, with the aim of serving the overall strategy of "two firsts", with the starting point of ensuring and improving people’s livelihood, with the main line of accelerating the transformation and development of the highway industry, we will make overall planning and rational layout, promote the construction of an integrated transportation system, effectively reduce logistics costs, better meet the people’s increasing travel needs, fully support the two national strategies of Yangtze River Delta integration and coastal development, and continuously promote the sound and rapid economic and social development of the province.

　　(2) Planning principles.

　　1. Overall planning. Resolutely implement the strategic guidelines established by the state and the province, obey the overall goal of economic and social development, obey the province’s industrial layout and urban system planning, and obey the national highway network planning.

　　2. Moderately ahead. Adhere to the development concept of "planning leading and moderately ahead", adapt to the needs of building a well-off society in an all-round way and basic modernization, fully consider the long-term development needs of highway transportation, and give full play to the supporting and guiding role of highway transportation infrastructure in economic and social development.

　　3. Coordinated development. Ensure regional coordinated development, promote the integration of highway transportation networks between southern Jiangsu and central Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu, adhere to local conditions, and form a provincial highway network that is suitable for the economic and social development level of each region. Pay attention to the connection with other modes of transportation and the road networks of neighboring provinces and cities, and give full play to the overall benefits of the comprehensive transportation system.

　　4. Green development. Adhere to the development of highway network, pay equal attention to intensive use of resources and protection of ecological environment, and realize the low-carbon development and green development of highway network in the whole province under the condition of affordable resources and environment.

　　5. Pay attention to efficiency. Adhere to the adaptation of supply and demand, comprehensively analyze the regional differences, formulate differentiated development goals, reasonably determine the road network layout, construction level and construction sequence, and improve the road network operation efficiency.

　　(3) Planning objectives.

　　The planning goal of provincial highway network is to adapt to economic and social development and transportation needs, cover all cities, counties (cities, districts), key central towns, development zones above the provincial level and scenic spots above 4A level, connect major port areas, airports and large railway freight yards, and realize coordinated development with other modes of transportation. By 2020, Jiangsu provincial highway network with clear functions, reasonable structure, appropriate scale, smooth connection and efficient management will be formed, basically reaching the level of moderately developed countries.

　　Fourth, functional level and scale demonstration

　　(1) Functional level.

　　According to the theory of highway function classification, combined with the actual situation of highway development in our province, the national highway and provincial highway are divided into three levels: expressway trunk, expressway trunk and general trunk. Expressway trunk lines include national expressways and expressway provincial roads. Expressway trunk lines are ordinary national roads and main provincial roads connecting neighboring cities and counties (cities, districts), and the rest are ordinary trunk lines.

　　1. High-speed trunk line. Expressway is the main skeleton of the highway network in the province, which mainly serves the medium and long-distance expressway traffic between provinces, among the three metropolitan areas in the province and in the main transportation channels in the province, connecting provincial capitals, cities under the jurisdiction of the province, counties (county-level cities) and important coastal ports along the Yangtze River, airports and other nodes, providing large-capacity and efficient transportation services, and providing rapid traffic guarantee for dealing with emergencies such as wars and natural disasters.

　　2. Expressway. Expressway and expressway jointly form the trunk system of highway network in the whole province, which mainly serves the short-distance highway traffic between provincial cities, between provincial cities and neighboring counties (cities) and between neighboring counties (cities), connects provincial cities, counties (cities), major coastal ports along the Yangtze River, airports, national and provincial development zones and other nodes, and is convenient to connect with expressway, providing high-level rapid transportation services, and forming a reasonable transportation channel with expressway.

　　3. General trunk lines. General trunk line is an important supplement to expressway and expressway, which mainly connects important towns, expressway interchanges, scenic spots above 4A level, comprehensive transportation hubs, logistics parks and industrial and agricultural production bases, and is well connected with expressway, mainly providing short-distance distributed transportation services, and further optimizing the layout of trunk road network.

　　(2) Scale demonstration.

　　Combined with the characteristics of economic, social and highway network development in our province, according to the requirements of sustainable development, and considering the limited resources, the existing restrictions on highway construction funds and the demand of economic and social development for national and provincial highways, five commonly used methods, such as connectivity method, land coefficient method, growth curve method, analogy method and regression analysis method, are selected to predict the reasonable scale of future national and provincial highway networks in Jiangsu Province. By 2020, the reasonable scale of the national highway and provincial highway network in Jiangsu Province will be 20,000-22,000 kilometers.

　　V. Layout plan

　　(1) Layout principle.

　　1. Focus on improving the provincial highway network in the "four-edge" strategic area, with no less than two trunk highways arranged in the passage, strengthening the lateral traffic links in coastal areas, and constructing longitudinal highway passages in coastal areas to effectively support and guide coastal development.

　　2. Strengthen the rapid connection between cities in the Yangtze River Delta, strengthen the connection with trunk highway networks of neighboring provinces (cities), focus on improving inter-provincial highway passages, and effectively serve the implementation of the integration strategy of the Yangtze River Delta.

　　3. According to the differences between regions, formulate differentiated development goals, build a high-density and high-grade highway network in southern Jiangsu, properly encrypt and steadily upgrade the grade in central Jiangsu, and improve the access roads and properly encrypt the road network in northern Jiangsu.

　　4. Covering cities, counties (cities, districts), key central towns, important towns with a population of more than 100,000, development zones above the provincial level and scenic spots above 4A level together with the national highway network, ensuring the rapid and smooth flow of cities and counties, convenient connectivity of counties and towns, and promoting local economic development.

　　5. Incorporate highways connecting important expressways into the provincial highway network, strengthen management, improve service level, and give full play to the overall benefits of the highway network.

　　6. Strengthen the connection with other modes of transportation such as major port areas, airports and large railway freight yards in the province, and accelerate the construction of a modern comprehensive transportation system.

　　7. Coordinate the relationship between provincial highways and urban roads, and incorporate important urban highway around the city into the provincial highway network. In principle, roads within the highway around the city are not regarded as provincial highways.

　　8. Make full use of existing roads, incorporate the roads that have been built and actually assume the function of provincial roads into the provincial highway network, and adjust some existing provincial roads that no longer have the function of trunk roads to county, township or city roads. Improve the transportation capacity of important traffic corridors and the overall operation reliability of road network, and promote the intensive development of provincial highways.

　　9. Fully consider the needs of national defense combat readiness, strengthen the traffic construction of national defense strategic passages, campaign passages, coastal defense highways and automobile ferry connecting highways, ensure smooth traffic and rapid military operations in wartime, and ensure national defense security.

　　(2) Layout process.

　　The main ideas and methods of this planning are: taking planning objectives as the direction, layout principles as the basis, layer-by-layer development as the main line, supplemented by single factor analysis, optimizing the route by combining economic and urban layout, traffic location, terrain conditions, environmental conditions, road section importance analysis, traffic demand analysis, urban development analysis, etc., and comprehensively determining the route plan.

　　According to the above ideas, this plan is based on the highway network planning and the existing ordinary trunk highway network, and the layout is carried out layer by layer. The specific process is as follows:

　　1. Select the planning node. According to the layout principle, this plan selects three kinds of nodes as service objects.

　　(1) Urban nodes: guided by the administrative divisions of Jiangsu Province, the coverage includes cities, counties (cities, districts), key central towns and towns with a population of over 100,000, totaling 216.

　　(2) Comprehensive traffic nodes: including major airports, port areas, railway stations and expressway interchanges in the whole province, totaling 568.

　　(3) Economic nodes: including provincial and national development zones and 4A and 5A tourist attractions, totaling 240.

　　Excluding some nodes located in the city and duplicate nodes, the total number of nodes considered in the layout planning is 920.

　　2. Expand the route layout layer by layer.

　　(1) Current basic road network.

　　Based on "Jiangsu Expressway Network Planning" approved in 2006 and "Jiangsu Provincial Highway Network Adjustment Scheme" approved in 2003, combined with the latest urban development planning, local roads are optimized, adjusted or deleted to form a basic road network. The current basic road network totals 9238 kilometers, including 2614 kilometers of expressways and 6624 kilometers of ordinary highways.

　　(2) Channel type line.

　　On the basis of planning the expressway network and the current national highway and provincial highway network, we will focus on the channel along the Yangtze River, the coastal channel, the Shanghai-Nanjing channel, the East Longhai channel, the Xusu-Huaiyan channel, the Beijing-Shanghai (Yihuaijiang) channel, the Ning Hang channel, the Yancheng-Taizhou-Wuxi (Changzhou) channel and the Ninglian channel, and carry out the layout of channel-type provincial highways. At the same time, we will further optimize and The total length of channel lines is 2574 kilometers.

　　(3) Sub-regional routes.

　　Taking the city as a unit, according to the layout principle, according to the specific economic development, industrial layout, urban development and construction conditions of each city, and comprehensively considering the connection and coordination between neighboring cities and counties, and taking 91 key central towns in the province as important coverage nodes, the trunk roads within the sub-regional scope are encrypted and laid, with a total mileage of 2557 kilometers.

　　(4) Node contact line.

　　Taking important comprehensive traffic nodes, important development zones, tourist areas, special areas and large cities as the key coverage nodes at the third level, single factor analysis is carried out respectively to improve the layout of provincial highway network, and together with the channel-type provincial highway and sub-regional provincial highway basic road network, the preliminary road network scheme of this planning is formed.

　　Integrated traffic node. Focus on trunk roads connected with coastal ports along the Yangtze River, inland ports, airports and major railway freight yards, and form a highway collection and distribution system with high grade and smooth connection to realize comprehensive transportation integration. The connecting lines of comprehensive traffic nodes total 177 kilometers.

　　Expressway interchange. Combing all the completed and under-construction expressways, and considering the interconnection of trunk highways with important functions and large traffic volume into the provincial highway network, so as to improve the function of expressways serving the local economy. The expressway connecting lines are 706 kilometers in total.

　　Development zones and tourist attractions. It is considered to incorporate the important highways connected with national development zones, provincial development zones and tourist attractions above 4A level into the provincial highway network, so as to realize the basic functions of highway service economy. The connecting lines of development zones and scenic spots total 438 kilometers.

　　Lake area. Jiangsu has a dense water network and many lakes. In order to solve the problem of traveling in lake areas and accelerate the optimal utilization of lake resources, this plan has planned a highway around lakes with development conditions, with a total mileage of 198 kilometers.

　　Large city nodes. In order to meet the development needs of rapid urbanization, the connection between provincial highway network and large-scale city nodes is optimized, and the ring road is planned, with a total mileage of 210 kilometers.

　　3. Optimize the road network scheme. Based on the preliminary road network of provincial highway, considering the importance of road section and traffic demand, geological and topographic conditions, distribution of environmentally sensitive areas, road network connection, urban planning and other conditions, the preliminary scheme is optimized by local route selection, and the final layout scheme of provincial highway network is formed.

　　(3) Layout plan.

　　This provincial highway network planning scheme is divided into two parts: expressway and ordinary highway.

　　1. Highway and provincial highway. The expressway in the provincial highway network consists of 36 routes, and the layout types are mainly divided into the following three categories:

　　The first category: there are 13 north-south lines, such as Changshu-Jiashan Expressway and Yancheng-Jingjiang Expressway, with a total mileage of 1192 kilometers;

　　Category II: East-west routes, such as Siyang-Suzhou Expressway and Yancheng-Huai ‘an Expressway, with a total mileage of 1,115 kilometers;

　　Category III: There are 14 expressway branches, such as Lianyungang Port North Shugang Expressway and Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway Zhenjiang Branch, with a total mileage of 307 kilometers.

　　2. Ordinary provincial highway. Ordinary highways in the provincial highway network are composed of 185 routes, and the layout types are mainly divided into the following six categories:

　　Category I: There are four radiation lines, such as Nanjing-Xuzhou and Nanjing-Zhangjiagang, with a planned total mileage of 395 kilometers;

　　Category II: North-South lines, such as Lianyungang-Yancheng-Nantong, Huai ‘an-Jiangdu and Yancheng-Wuxi, with a total planned mileage of 5,305 kilometers. Among them, 6 planned national highway lines are reserved, with a mileage of 1399 kilometers;

　　Category III: There are 44 east-west routes, such as Yancheng-Huai ‘an-Suqian, Nantong-Taizhou-Yangzhou-Nanjing, with a planned total mileage of 5,589 kilometers. Among them, 8 planned national highway lines are reserved, with a mileage of 1518 kilometers;

　　The fourth category: there are 5 loop lines, such as Nanjing Third Ring Road and Taihu Highway, with a planned total mileage of 680 kilometers;

　　Category V: 62 expressway interconnection lines with a planned mileage of 782 kilometers;

　　Category VI: There are 22 important connecting lines, such as airports and important scenic spots, with a planned mileage of 733 kilometers.

　　Through this plan, our province will form a "5 vertical, 9 horizontal, 5-link" expressway skeleton trunk network and a "4-shot, 52 vertical, 48 horizontal, 5-ring, 86-link" ordinary national and provincial trunk highway network.

　　(4) Summary of scale.

　　1. Scale of provincial highway network. By 2020, the total scale of provincial highway network in our province will be 16,098 kilometers, including 2,614 kilometers of expressway and 13,484 kilometers of ordinary provincial highway. Among the ordinary provincial roads, 6624 kilometers of ordinary provincial roads are planned by the Adjustment Plan of Provincial Road Network in Jiangsu Province in 2003, and 6860 kilometers of ordinary provincial roads are added.

　　2. Overall scale of national provincial highway network. After this planning, there are 245 national highways and provincial highways in our province with a total mileage of 21,000 kilometers, including 24 national highways with a total mileage of 4,902 kilometers; There are 221 provincial highways with a total mileage of 16,098 kilometers.

　　National highways and provincial highways: 50 in total, with a total mileage of 5,474 kilometers, including 14 national highways, with a total length of 2,860 kilometers; There are 36 provincial highways, totaling 2614 kilometers.

　　General national highways and general provincial highways: 195 in total, with a total mileage of 15,526 kilometers, including 10 general national highways, with a total mileage of 2,042 kilometers; There are 185 provincial highways, totaling 13,484 kilometers.

　　(5) numbering scheme.

　　The number of expressway provincial roads is determined according to the Rules for Naming and Numbering Expressway Networks in Jiangsu Province.

　　The numbering of ordinary provincial roads is based on the existing numbering system, and the number type of connecting lines is added. The number of existing ordinary provincial roads remains basically unchanged, and the number of new lines is arranged in sequence after the number of existing ordinary provincial roads according to their direction or type, that is, "old road number, new road number". The numbering rules for ordinary darts are as follows:

　　1. The number consists of four digits, including letters and numbers, such as "S123", where "S" reflects the nature of the dart; "123" reflects the direction, type and sequence of lines.

　　2 "123": the first digit "1" indicates the direction or type, and the last two digits "23" are the sequence code.

　　The beginning of "1" indicates the radial ordinary provincial road from Nanjing, and the existing number has been coded to S124. Therefore, the new line is coded from S125, and the sequence code increases clockwise from the true north direction;

　　The beginning of "2" indicates the north-south general provincial highway, and the existing number has been coded to S254. Therefore, the new lines are coded from S255, and the sequence code increases from east to west, where 201-206 are the planned national highway numbers;

　　The beginning of "3" indicates the east-west general provincial highway, and the existing number has been coded to S343. Therefore, the new lines are coded from S344, and the sequence codes increase from north to south in turn, among which 301-308 are the planned national highway numbers;

　　The beginning of "4" indicates the expressway interconnection line, which is a new numbering type. From S401, the sequence code of the north-south expressway interconnection line increases from north to south, and the sequence code of the east-west expressway interconnection line increases from east to west.

　　The beginning of "5" indicates the port and airport connection line, which is a new numbering type, and is compiled from S501, and the sequence code increases from north to south in turn;

　　The beginning of "6" indicates the economic nodes and scenic spots connecting lines, which is a new numbering type. It is compiled from S601, and the sequence code starts with the north-south connecting line and ends with the east-west connecting line, increasing from north to south and from east to west in turn;

　　The beginning of "0" indicates the loop line, 001-050 indicates the urban loop line, which is numbered one by one according to the urban administrative division code, and 051-099 indicates other loop lines, and the sequence code increases from north to south.

　　In view of the fact that the national highway network planning scheme is basically stable at present, in order to facilitate the implementation of the planned provincial highway network in our province in the future, the connection with the planned national highway is fully considered in this plan, and the top 20 sequential codes in the numbers starting with "2" and "3" are used as the transition numbers of the planned national highway.

　　(6) Planning effect.

　　The provincial highway network and national highway network formed in this plan cover all cities (13) and counties (including county-level cities, districts, 66), provincial and national development zones (139), 5A and 4A tourist attractions (101), airports (9), 89% of townships in the province (including all key central towns, townships with a population of over 100,000 and 699 other townships), 315 expressways, 96 important port areas along the Yangtze River and about 100 important railway stations, serving the province. Provide leading and basic services for Jiangsu’s future economic and social development, support coordinated economic development and industrial transformation, promote the development of key areas such as Jiangsu’s coastal areas, and provide good basic support for building and improving Jiangsu’s modern comprehensive transportation system.

　　1. Access to service effect. In terms of network access services, we will achieve "double trunk lines, wide connectivity and full coverage".

　　"Double trunk lines": in coordination with the national trunk line network, no less than two national trunk lines and provincial trunk lines will be laid in the important traffic corridors along the Yangtze River, the coast, Shanghai-Nanjing and East Longhai to meet the needs of the "four-edge" development strategy of our province;

　　"Wide connectivity": Coastal ports along the Yangtze River, major inland ports, airports, major railway freight yards and expressways are all connected by national highways and provincial highways, so that the comprehensive transportation system can play a better role;

　　"Full coverage": the nodes covered by the provincial highway network are extended from the nodes of cities and counties (cities, districts) to all key central towns in the province, so as to better serve local economic development, industrial layout and urban development.

　　2. Running time effect. In terms of network running time, Jiangsu provincial highway network will eventually achieve "10 minutes to enter the network, 30 minutes to access, the same day round trip", which can also be expressed as "10-30-1".

　　"Access to the network in 10 minutes": All planning nodes will enter the provincial highway network within 10 minutes.

　　"30-minute access": access between adjacent planning nodes is within 30 minutes.

　　"Same-day round trip": round trip between any two planning nodes in the province within one day.

　　VI. Implementation Plan

　　(1) General idea.

　　According to the overall goal and phased goal of the provincial highway network development, overall planning and phased implementation, based on the development needs of key areas, comprehensive transportation, regional coordination and transportation itself, with capital and land supply as constraints, taking into account the integrity and continuity of the whole social highway network in each planning period, and at the same time, taking into account factors such as traffic construction and development in neighboring areas, the phased implementation plan of provincial highway construction is arranged.

　　(2) implementation principles.

　　1. Ensure key areas and routes. The arrangement of provincial highway implementation sequence should give priority to ensuring key areas and key routes, and the trunk highways involving key areas and important trunk highways undertaking the skeleton function of regional road network should give priority to construction, giving full play to the supporting and leading role of traffic in economic and social development.

　　2. Coordinate regional development. The formulation of provincial highway implementation sequence should fully consider the needs of regional integration development, and the construction timing should be considered as a whole in terms of the main channel in the metropolitan area and the road network connection between neighboring cities and counties to avoid the situation that the construction timing of the same trunk highway between neighboring cities and counties is quite different.

　　3. Serving the construction of comprehensive transportation system. The arrangement of provincial and highway implementation sequence should be based on the principle of accelerating the formation of comprehensive transportation system, enhancing the distribution capacity of main passages and the collection and distribution level of large-scale comprehensive transportation hubs, and giving priority to the construction of expressway interconnection lines and trunk roads for collection and distribution of port and station hubs.

　　4. Optimize the allocation of capital, land and other resources. Give full consideration to the constraints of capital, land and other resources, reasonably arrange the time sequence and construction plan of highway construction, encourage the use of old roads to broaden and transform, optimize the allocation of resources, and realize the intensive and green development of highway traffic.

　　(3) implementation plan.

　　By the end of 2010, 1,263 kilometers of the planned 2,614-kilometer expressway have been built and 1,351 kilometers are to be built. The planned mileage of 13,484 kilometers of ordinary provincial roads is 9,897 kilometers, and the mileage of 3,587 kilometers and below is 3,587 kilometers. Expressway provincial roads will be implemented according to the "Jiangsu Expressway Network Planning", and ordinary provincial roads will basically be built into second-class and above highways in 2020.

　　The overall construction scale of ordinary provincial roads planned this time is about 6,000 kilometers, including the new construction or reconstruction and expansion of roads with grade III and below and the reconstruction and expansion of roads with grade II and above. According to the static investment, during the period from 2011 to 2020, the planned new reconstruction of ordinary provincial roads will cost about 140 billion yuan, with an average annual investment of about 14 billion yuan. A total of about 160,000 mu of land will be requisitioned for the new reconstruction project.

　　Guided by industrial development, regional coordination and comprehensive transportation development strategy, and based on the ranking results of project importance, the comprehensive ranking of planning and construction projects is obtained. The construction period is divided into two stages: 2011-2015 and 2016-2020. Among them, in 2011-2015, we will focus on the development strategy of "Four Sides" and the construction of comprehensive transportation system, mainly focusing on solving the provincial highway construction with the status quo of Grade III and below, and setting up the provincial highway framework; From 2016 to 2020, we will mainly focus on upgrading provincial highways to improve the grade level and traffic capacity of provincial highways in the province.

　　(4) the implementation effect.

　　By 2020, the province will form a provincial highway network with a total scale of 16,098 kilometers. The provincial highway network and the national highway network together form a trunk highway network of about 21,000 kilometers in Jiangsu. The connectivity of the road network is about 1.96, the area density is about 20.45 kilometers/100 square kilometers, the population density is about 2.68 kilometers/10,000 people, and the economic density is about 16 kilometers/100 million yuan, which will provide a good support for the basic modernization of the province’s economy and society.

　　VII. Policies and Measures

　　(a) to maintain the seriousness of planning, overall planning and construction.

　　The approved provincial highway network planning in Jiangsu Province is an important basis for the road network construction in our province, which should be strictly followed and related planning should be coordinated with it. At the same time, according to this plan, we should study the route scheme of newly built and rebuilt sections as soon as possible, control the route corridor on the spot, implement the land supply, and arrange the implementation plan reasonably to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan.

　　(2) Optimize construction standards to achieve green development.

　　Overall consideration of provincial highway construction, operation, maintenance and management, adhere to the optimal total cost. Determine a reasonable alignment scheme, scientifically determine the construction scale, do not unilaterally pursue high indicators that do not meet the actual needs and economic capacity, and reasonably establish construction schemes. Do not build new ones that can be rebuilt and expanded by using the old roads, and try to avoid occupying less cultivated land and fertile land for those that really need to be built. Strengthen innovative design and accelerate the development and application of new materials, new processes and new technologies. Firmly establish the concept of green development of highway traffic, adjust measures to local conditions, improve the efficiency of resource use and protect the ecological environment.

　　(3) Improve the investment and financing policies and guarantee the funds for construction, management and maintenance.

　　Provincial highway network is a public welfare infrastructure, which should be mainly invested by financial funds. City, county (city, district) people’s government as the main body of construction responsibility, specifically responsible for organizing the implementation, the provincial transportation departments to implement industry management, and carry out fixed subsidies. Provincial highway has a high technical level and a large scale of investment in construction, management and maintenance. In order to ensure the sustainable development of provincial highway network, people’s governments at all levels should conscientiously implement the provisions of document No.22 [2011] issued by the State Council, increase the supply of financial funds, stabilize the channels of funds, and ensure the sources of funds for construction, management and maintenance.

　　(4) Strengthen industry management and innovate management mechanism.

　　Implement People’s Republic of China (PRC) Highway Law, Regulations on Highway Safety Protection and Regulations on Jiangsu Highway, make full use of legal, administrative and economic means, strengthen industry management, improve service level, promote highway information construction, and improve road network safety and operational efficiency. Actively explore new modes of construction, operation, management and maintenance of provincial highway network, and give full play to the benefits of provincial highway network.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 26thQuestion: How to strengthen the international cooperation against the epidemic?

　　Xinhua News Agency reporters Xiong Feng, Tian Xiaohang, Shen Cheng and Zheng Mingda

　　At present, the international COVID-19 epidemic is accelerating. How to deal with this severe challenge is related to the safety of people of all countries and tests the common wisdom of human society.

　　At the press conference held by the State Council Information Office on 26th, relevant authorities responded to the hot issues related to international cooperation in fighting the epidemic.

　　How is the progress of foreign aid? Four batches have been implemented to assist 89 countries and 4 international organizations.

　　Under the situation that the COVID-19 epidemic broke out and spread in many places around the world, it is urgent and crucial to effectively carry out foreign anti-epidemic assistance.

　　Deng Boqing, deputy director of China International Development Cooperation Agency, said that at present, China has organized and implemented anti-epidemic assistance to 89 countries and 4 international organizations in four batches, and is now formulating the implementation plan for the fifth batch of assistance.

　　From the perspective of aid recipients, it includes countries with serious epidemic situation, countries with weak public health system and epidemic prevention capacity, and some international organizations. From the way of assistance, it includes both medical material assistance and medical technical assistance.

　　Deng Boqing said that when China decided to provide anti-epidemic assistance programs, it mainly considered the following factors: first, the severity of the local epidemic, the local medical and health conditions and the lack of medical materials; Second, the specific assistance needs put forward by the countries concerned to China; Third, the China government’s own capabilities.

　　"Under the premise of fully ensuring the needs of domestic anti-epidemic work, we have properly formulated the aid work plan based on the principle of doing our best and doing our best." Deng Boqing said.

　　"This foreign anti-epidemic assistance is an emergency humanitarian operation with the most concentrated aid time and the widest scope since the founding of New China." Deng Boqing said that leaders of many countries and international organizations thanked China for its help in various forms, and people in many countries praised China on the Internet and shouted "Thanks to China" in the streets.

　　At present, the global epidemic is still developing, and China is still at the critical moment of "importing foreign defense and rebounding internal defense".

　　"China will continue to provide assistance to relevant countries within its capacity on the basis of its own epidemic prevention and control." Deng Boqing said, "When people gather firewood, the flames are high." As long as the international community is United and forms a joint force, it will certainly be able to overcome the epidemic and safeguard the health and well-being of the people of the world.

　　How to participate in international cooperation against epidemic? Share the "China Experience" without reservation

　　Since the outbreak of the epidemic, China has actively organized experts to carry out in-depth technical exchanges, provided assistance and technical support to other countries affected by the epidemic, and shared "China experience" without reservation.

　　Ceng Yixin, deputy director of the National Health and Wellness Committee, said that National Health Commission compiled a set of technical documents such as the latest diagnosis and treatment plan and prevention and control plan, and shared them with 180 countries and more than 10 international and regional organizations in time; Co-organized with the World Health Organization the "International Briefing on Sharing Experiences in Prevention and Treatment of China in COVID-19"; Nearly 30 technical exchange meetings were held with more than 100 countries and regions through remote video.

　　"During the treatment of some patients, whether hormones should be used, when to use them, how much to use, and how long to use them are all very urgent and instructive experiences in clinic." Ceng Yixin said that China also sent anti-epidemic medical experts to Italy, Serbia, Cambodia and other countries to introduce China’s anti-epidemic experience and strategies, and provide guidance and consultation on disease prevention and control, clinical diagnosis and treatment, community management and other aspects in light of local conditions.

　　Only by sharing scientific research data, information and achievements can we defeat the global common enemy "novel coronavirus" in the shortest time.

　　Xu Nanping, Vice Minister of Science and Technology, said that China shared viruses and virus genome sequences with the world for the first time, and also set up the Global Coronaviomics Data Sharing and Analysis System, the 2019 novel coronavirus Resource Database and the Sharing and Exchange Platform for Scientific Research Achievements in COVID-19. Among them, in 2019, the database of novel coronavirus Resource Library has provided data services for more than 76,000 visitors from 152 countries and regions, and downloaded more than 4 million files.

　　Vaccine is the "atomic bomb" to defeat the virus. Xu Nanping said that the five technical routes of vaccine research and development in COVID-19, China have been promoted simultaneously, all of which have international cooperation and are open to the outside world.

　　Next, China will continue to promote the sharing of scientific research achievements. Xu Nanping introduced that China should "publish the results of early clinical trials as soon as possible, and communicate with international counterparts, so that everyone can avoid detours".

　　How to care for and help China citizens abroad? Do your best to protect consular affairs.

　　The safety of overseas compatriots affects the hearts of Chinese people. It is an important task at present to do a good job in consular protection and help overseas Chinese to strengthen the response and protection of the epidemic.

　　Luo Zhaohui, Vice Foreign Minister, said that China’s embassies and consulates abroad urged the host governments to take measures to solve the practical difficulties faced by China citizens in diagnosis and treatment, visa extension and study abroad.

　　"The party and the government are always concerned about the safety of overseas compatriots." Luo Zhaohui said, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies and consulates abroad receive a large number of calls for help every day. In order to provide better services, many embassies and consulates have responded to citizens’ concerns in a timely manner by adding consultation calls and opening WeChat groups. In less than two months recently, the 12308 hotline of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs manually answered nearly 70,000 calls, almost three times that of the same period last year. "

　　Most overseas students are alone, young and have relatively weak self-protection ability. Luo Zhaohui introduced that embassies and consulates abroad generally attach great importance to solving the difficulties of overseas students in local studies, accommodation, visa extension, etc., and coordinate local Chinese and enterprises to provide assistance for their dining and shopping. The embassies and consulates in Britain, France, Italy, the United States and other countries mobilized resources from all sides to distribute "health kits" containing necessary epidemic prevention materials and epidemic prevention guidelines to local China students.

　　At present, among the confirmed cases imported into China, 90% hold China passports, and 40% of them are international students.

　　"We understand that some international students are eager to return to China, but we hope that overseas students and parents will carefully weigh the pros and cons and make the right choice." Luo Zhaohui said that under the current situation, staying in the local area can avoid cross-infection caused by rushing back to China, or being blocked halfway due to border control measures in transit countries, and can also avoid possible subsequent impact on studies and visas, which is also in line with WHO professional advice.

　　"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education will continue to care for overseas students, serve international students well and solve practical difficulties in accordance with the relevant requirements and work arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council." Luo Zhaohui said.

[Editor’s note】

Speech! Speech! Speech!

Hillary Clinton, the US presidential candidate who lost in the general election in 2016 and former US Secretary of State, came back to work, that is, she kept giving speeches.

At the beginning of March, at the age of 70, she declared her return in full spirit in red, calling on women to chase after their dreams.

After that, she gave another 26-minute speech at the California Professional Women’s Conference. "I am very happy to get out of the predicament. Now I don’t want to go anywhere except the White House." Of course, her spearhead is still aimed at Trump, criticizing Trump’s health care reform bill and calling on everyone to continue fighting for the cause they believe in.

Recently, she appeared in Georgetown University in the United States in red, and mercilessly criticized President Trump’s budget proposal. Recently, several of Trump’s policy proposals have been constrained by Congress and courts everywhere, which has made former competitors full of firepower and angry. Hillary commented on Trump’s budget, "The blow to women and children is a serious mistake in our country."

Public opinion suspected that Hillary Clinton was likely to make a comeback, but in an interview with the new york Times reporter in early April, she made it clear that she would not participate in the US election again.

Good morning! (Applause)

Thank you!

I am grateful for your enthusiasm, and I am very happy to come to the campus and this great school. I am very glad to have the opportunity to talk with you today.

I am very grateful to President De Gioia for his visionary leadership and to Georgetown University. Numerous diplomats, peace defenders and leaders have been trained here. I share the same view with many people. We need more defenders of peace, diplomats and leaders, because they are committed to seeking common ground while reserving differences, eliminating differences and connecting people all over the world. And this is not an easy thing.

In the 1990s, we deeply felt the need to improve women’s rights and give them more opportunities, especially in education, health and economy. At the same time, we should also devote ourselves to resolving conflicts, creating a safe environment for everyone in the world and helping them prosper and grow. So on that day in 2011, we came to Georgetown University to announce that women’s full participation in peace and security affairs is no longer just a marginal issue in international affairs. (Applause)

At that time, I was full of confidence. Today, I am even more hopeful. The greatest unfinished business in the 21st century is to improve women’s rights and ensure their full participation. (Applause)

This seems to be self-evident, and improving women’s rights and interests is both a right and an obligation. Women account for half of the total population, so we have the right to participate in the discussion of decisions that will affect our lives. But what I really want to tell you is that this move is more about peace, security and prosperity. This is not a partisan dispute, but a problem that concerns everyone. A rising tide lifts all boats, and the tide of women’s rights can drive the development of the whole country. Therefore, every year, whenever I have the opportunity, I will come back here to attend the award ceremony. As President De Gioia has just read, women and men from different backgrounds and countries are United by the same belief, that is, women are not only victims of war, but also executors of change, creators of peace and promoters of progress.

This is the principle behind all the State Council’s efforts in the first term. We want to set a standard, and I am deeply proud of the importance of this standard. It is not just a "window dressing" on the edge of the State Council affairs, but the focus of our work. Speaking for women’s rights and opportunities is the cornerstone of America’s global leadership. Therefore, our foreign policy must take this as a benchmark, provide it with the necessary resources, personnel and attention, and at the same time be responsible for it. (Applause)

The US military has also recognized the role of women in peace and security affairs, which makes me full of joy. Over the years, I have been fortunate to fight alongside some military leaders on the stage. General Sandy Winnipeg, former vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Michèle Flournoy, former deputy minister in charge of policy of the Ministry of National Defense, stressed in their work that rape and gender violence should be eliminated in conflict areas and post-war areas, so that women can participate in peacemaking and peace-keeping.

Nowadays, this is particularly important. On a global scale, more than 60 million refugees are trying to escape not only war, but also famine, drought and disease. We can’t look on coldly, because the turmoil in countries and regions will in turn breed more problems, whether it is regional conflicts, terrorism, diseases or criminal activities, which may affect our own country. Global progress depends on the progress of women. Since the United Nations Conference on Women was held in Beijing in 1995, we have seen a lot of progress. However, it must be emphasized that we should be alert to the retrogressive signals that have already appeared. Today’s government has drastically cut its budget in international health, development and diplomacy, which is a heavy blow to women and children and a wrong move taken by the country. As you may know, more than 120 retired Admiral Lu recently signed a letter to Congress and the government, demanding that Congress and the White House stop the current practice. This is also our aspiration. These outstanding men and women who have been in the military have realized that the government’s practice will not make the country safer, on the contrary, it will only increase the danger and endanger China’s position in the world.

Defense Minister Matisse said, "If you don’t provide the State Council with sufficient funds, they will have to buy more ammunition". So at Georgetown University, you spoke with facts and proved the importance of women in peace and security affairs. Today, its importance is increasing instead of decreasing. With the expansion of the institute, there is more evidence that the country is becoming safer as women gradually participate in the process of creating and maintaining peace. Research shows-I talked about research, evidence and facts again (laughs).

But in fact, when women participate in peace negotiations, the agreement is easier to reach and more likely to continue. We know that women’s rights and personal safety are often the first targets attacked by fundamentalists, and we also know that women are often the first to discover conflicts. When their insight and the information they provide are ignored, it will have serious consequences, but such consequences can be completely avoided. When sexual violence is still used as a strategy by terrorist organizations, and when women are still recruited by ISIS and Boko Haram, leaders who want to eliminate terrorism and violence should redouble their efforts to ensure women’s right to participate. Before others draw any conclusions, I want to state in advance that women are not born more peaceful than men. This is a stereotype, which does not exist in reality. (Laughter)

But history does show that when women sit at the table and talk about peace, they can form alliances and try their best to reach a consensus. On the issues of human rights, transitional justice, national reconciliation and economic recovery, they can often shine brilliantly. I have witnessed this scene with my own eyes. Over the years, I have worked with women in Northern Ireland, and I have witnessed their great efforts to transcend religious differences and conclude a lasting peace.

When this work began in the 1990s, who would have thought that martin mcguinness, who had just passed away, would shake hands with Queen Elizabeth one day? We have also witnessed women in Liberia ending the bloody civil war. If you haven’t seen the movie "Pray for the Devil to Return to Hell", I strongly recommend it. Because this film conveys the same point of view as I want to convey when I stand on the podium today from a personal point of view. Women in Liberia came to the place where men held peace talks, which was a hotel in Ghana, and they had been discussing it for weeks. They surrounded the hotel and refused to leave. Until an agreement is reached, they are not allowed to go out, not even sticking their heads out of the window. Of course, in the end, they chose ellen johnson sirleaf as the new president. She is also the first female president on the African continent. (Applause)

I have witnessed that women in the Democratic Republic of Congo survived unimaginable cruelty, but they were able to rejuvenate and help others. I have been following the development of Colombia for many years, and I will focus on it in a few minutes. We saw women’s organizations protest and participate in negotiations, which finally ended the bloodshed that lasted for more than 50 years. When the conflict broke out and all attempts to stop the violence failed, women went out of their homes and started the whole peace negotiation process in Colombia on their own, and prevented all parties from staying out until an agreement was reached.

If we want a fairer, freer and more peaceful country, or even the whole world, it is not enough to talk about women’s rights. We must seriously consider their needs and provide them with tools so that they can participate in the process of transforming the world. The leaders who stand here today to be commended have witnessed these progress.

Like many peace agreements, the peace situation ushered in after 50 years of war is only the beginning. Peace is not a temporary achievement, but a long-term undertaking. Although it is inconceivable to give up this hard-won peace, as long as the interests are harmed in any way, there will be various forces within the country trying to undermine the existing situation. We must do everything possible to prevent the current peace situation in Colombia from being destroyed. This work is indeed full of difficult decisions and considerations about transitional justice and economic feasibility, but peace is indeed within reach.

Therefore, from the peace process we celebrate today to the measures taken by the state and various institutions to improve the status of women, people gradually realize what role women have played in coping with climate change and fighting violent extremism, terrorism and various conflicts. We must continue this work. I implore the government to continue its leadership work on behalf of world peace, because with or without the participation of the United States, the world will only move forward, not backward. (Applause)

The decision is in our hands. The world we live in is complicated, and everything is interrelated and interdependent. You can’t just choose one or two things and say, "OK, now we have to solve this problem". Things are ever-changing, the border will disappear before the pressure, and the Internet is spreading despair while providing opportunities. We can’t help but ask, will the United States be left behind by the world tide or will it continue to maintain its leading position? I hope the answer is that we will do everything possible to make the country and the world stronger and safer.

We must fight for our values, human rights, opportunities and security for all, and at the same time continue to ensure that women have the same rights as men. Only by striving for and guaranteeing these rights can we release human potential and achieve unprecedented development.

Students of Georgetown University, this is my hope for your generation, and I hope you can make it a reality.

Thank you all. (Applause)

Adam Curtis’s career feels like a series of glitches at the heart of the BBC. His films are completely separated from the output of this channel. The first episode of his series "The Trap" (2007) covers the rise of game theory under the paranoia during the Cold War. It starts with a chilling title card ("Humans will always betray you") and is broadcast directly on BBC 2 after Crufts—, an extension of an international dog beauty contest.

Adam Curtis

Now, however, Curtis’s films can be obtained democratically on the Internet and are wildly welcomed by young people. They are documentaries on the surface, but his method is closer to poetry or video art than traditional narrative TV programs. Curtis also carefully avoided the stipulation of political labels, sometimes criticized the instability of capitalism with revolutionary Marxism, and sometimes he was a liberal technical utopian. However, in his infectious soundtrack and baroque visual style, Curtis is consistent with unwavering romanticism. He wants the audience to have a feeling-not simply explain the world.

I can’t get you out of my mind poster

Curtis’s new series "Can’t Get You Out of My Head" is a real epic. This six-part eight-hour series depicts the ups and downs of society from collectivism to individualism. His unrestricted access to BBC archives gave each episode an all-powerful eye, which Curtis used to locate and explain power, and the change of hands of power uprooted the world.

It all started with a sentence by David Gray Bo, using Curtis’s trademark all-capital Helvetica bold font-"The most secret truth in the world is that it is made by us and can be easily made into different shapes". With the development of the plot, the series tries to understand why this ultimate truth is really hidden, not dazzling. Through each episode (the last episode weighs 120 minutes), Curtis explores this issue emotionally through personal stories that try to change the modern world (from Russian dissident Edward Limonov to Tupac’s mother and former Panther member Afeni Shakur).

In the interview, Curtis told jacobin magazine about his new drama series, populist left wing, conspiracy theory and his love for music.

You subtitled this new series: "Emotional History of the Modern World". Why "emotion"?

AC：I want to explain why we are so anxious about the future. We know that we are dissatisfied with what we have today. But no one is willing to propose an alternative. I want to explain this paralysis through the rise of individualism, which makes people feel anxious and lonely, and individualism was supposed to liberate them.

In our personal time, our feelings are placed at the center, and we are taught that our inner feelings are the most important. In fact, consumerism also responds to this. Therefore, I want to describe a history of "emotion", because I am interested in the idea that your feelings are related to your system-this is really a forgotten idea.

Your previous series of works followed the narrative convention to some extent, but this series feels more like a collage, and the stories are intertwined in a nonlinear way. Why did you choose to do this?

AC：Part of the reason is that I am restless and I want to try something different. But mainly because I want to do something that feels more like a novel, a multi-part novel, just like what they wrote in the 19th century.

One of the people you pay attention to is Abu Zubaydah, whose brain was reduced to a random image by the torture of the CIA. This series feels a bit like being told through Abu Zubeda’s brain.

In fact, at the end of the film, I had a narrator who said, "We have all become like Abu Zubaida’s brain". But I deleted it because I thought it was too hard and I should let people see it for themselves. And I was right-you did see it. However, the problem about Zubaida is not torture, but that he was stuck in his brain by a shell fragment in 1991 and had such an effect that his experience is no longer meaningful. I think we have all become like this.

This series seems to be deliberately chaotic and disorderly, but history is also chaotic and disorderly. Is there a conflict between making a coherent narrative film and keeping a chaotic description of history?

AC：I want to do both. I want to describe the feeling of living in history in the era of individualism, where you have to rely on yourself and try to make all this meaningful.

You described this personal era, which flourished after World War II and is said to have liberated society, but now you say it is declining and it is no longer interesting as an individual. Can the genie be put back in the bottle?

AC：No-you can’t put it back. People are quite afraid of large-scale and twentieth-century collective efforts to change the world, which often leads to terror. The personal era comes from mass democracy as a response to mass democracy. But it actually leads to individuals who are deprived of power. They all want something different, but they don’t know how to get it. But I think another thing will appear soon, a new kind of politics, which allows you to be an expressive individual, but it is also part of something bigger than yourself. If we can regain control of the Internet from venture capital funds, then this is a good start.

You often talk about the shift from politics to culture, where radicalism just sits there and makes a lot of noise. Well, I am deeply suspicious of radicalism in art. With the rise of Thatcher and Reagan in the 1980s, leftists and liberals retreated to culture, thinking that they could change things from there. But things have not changed. I believe that the function of art is to express its times beautifully. Interestingly, it now beautifully expresses the paralysis of our time. Culture is a comfort blanket for radicals to cling to, so that they can avoid the terrible fact that they have no answer.

Has Covid-19 uprooted power?

AC：Covid-19 showed quite cruelly that the closer you are to power, the less likely you are to die. This understanding is shocking, and it will be as profound as the financial crisis in 2008.

Bernie sanders-and Britain’s jeremy corbyn-led the populist left-wing movement, trying to awaken the traditional collectivism, but they all failed. Why do you think that is?

AC：You must distinguish between the two. Sanders is likely to win the election in 2016. I remember what he said was almost exactly the same as Trump-talking to the white working class and how they were betrayed by the think tank in Washington. Although, in the primary election in 2020, his language has changed. He gave up talking to people that liberals are very afraid of.

I really don’t know Corbin well enough, but I remember talking to Labour activists during the 2019 election. What shocked me was their contempt for Brexit voters. I didn’t vote for Brexit, but I understand why people do it-not just because of anger, but because it is a tactical way to declare your alienation from the mainstream politics managed by technocrats. I know that many gin-drinking colonels in Surrey also voted for Brexit, but the elephant in the room is that all these former Labour voters have suddenly become stupid in the eyes of liberal metropolises.

You can’t deny these people, you must take them seriously. You don’t have to agree with them or believe that their racism is correct, but you must take them seriously and understand their feelings. The same is true in the United States, where Trump supporters are dismissed as being fooled by Putin, leaving them in a crumbling infrastructure and a booming opioid epidemic.

It’s interesting that you mentioned Putin. In this series, you compare the story of "TongRumen" with anonymous Q as a different way to react to the deadlock of Trump’s failed promise.

AC：When you run out of stories-that’s when you get conspiracy theories. There are many people who can’t face up to what is happening. People will not tell how Trump was chosen by Americans instead of Russia, or that he was actually very useless and was not blocked by pedophiles Satan in deep countries. I think these conspiracy theories are suitable for The New York Times, because they increase their reading, and also for intelligence agencies, because they are suddenly known as part of the resistance against Trump.

Back to collectivism, what about the society envisioned by radical Islamism?

AC：What we westerners don’t understand is that modern Islamic radicalism, which began in the late 1950s, was completely unable to bring the masses into it by the mid-1990s-maybe not in Iran, but it has completely failed in the Sunni world. The attack on the World Trade Center was not the result of a powerful movement, but the lashing out of a failed movement. The Sunni masses had not stood up at that time-not in Egypt, nor in Algeria.

But these tendencies are collectivist in thought?

AC：The question of our time is this-how do you manage a world of millions of individuals, millions of screaming pigs-how do you get them together? There is a saying that it is not the politicians’ fault that we got this withered managerialism-it is just a way to deal with millions of pigs desperately. We are little monsters. Seriously, we are.

I want to ask you a question about ghosts. M.R. James has a story called "Oh, whistle, I will come to you, my boy", and you are influenced.

AC：The inscription on the whistle that the hero of that story found on the beach-"What’s coming?" (What is this that is coming)-almost became the title of this series. But this is not a stupid thing. M.R. James wrote these stories in the 1890s, which I think is a similar era to the present. The British Empire is collapsing. With this feeling of fear and guilt, something will come back to haunt you. I think the United States has felt this way since the Vietnam War.

It’s a bit like what Mark Fisher wrote-the ghost of the past came back to cover the future.

AC：I know Mark. We used to meet in a cafe next to Liverpool Street Station and have a long talk about all this. We appeared on the stage together in Berlin, I think. But back to this idea about ghosts, I use certain characters, because they have the idea that you can force ghosts out of people’s minds and create a new society. But they forget that the most important thing is the ghost in their own heads.

The same is true of Brexit, who are troubled by a fictional and idealized vision of British history. Dominic Cummings (Boris Johnson’s former adviser, who is considered to be the mastermind of the Brexit movement) entered Britain through nationalism, which is something that liberals are very afraid of.

This is why Edward Limonov’s National Bolshevik Party is so symbolic in Russia.

AC：Exactly. Limonov is not a very nice person, but he did put forward an interesting point, that is, unless the left wing either uses nationalism or creates a stronger new myth, they will not have enough people on their side.

The last message in the series is likely to be quite promising. It says that if we can become more confident, then we can create a new vision for the future. This makes me feel strange, because it sounds like self-help, and you seem to despise this kind of thing?

AC：No, it’s the opposite of self-help. It is "stop imagining what you can do to yourself and start imagining what we can do to change the world". The starting point of self-help is that you can transform society by transforming yourself, but what we end up with is a society full of anxiety. I hope people can get out of this matter of self-help. That’s why I quoted David Gray Bo.

Your film has a very wide audience and many disgruntled young people are watching it. What do you want to say to a confused and depressed 16-year-old boy?

AC：Nothing. The last thing they want is for me to tell them what to do. I know I have such an audience, but I don’t know why. When I was filming All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, I heard that children broke into the house occupied by Croydon (a town in South London) and held an all-night party to watch my movie. It was strange, and then I realized that I had broken through.

Poster "Everything is guarded by the grace machine of love"

Your movies can also be silly.

AC：Yes, I can be silly. But you must keep a straight face. You can’t let people know that you are trying to be funny, because it’s not funny. But back to the original question, there are also old people who like my work. The people who never seem to like it are political journalists. They are not interested at all. They can’t understand why I put music in it.

It’s time for us to talk about music. Why do you choose tracks instead of using original soundtracks?

AC：Basically, I want to create an emotion. But this is not cynicism. It’s always my favorite music. For a while, I decided to end the series with Zombie by the cranberry band, because it seemed appropriate. But the terrible fact is that I don’t like that song. Just before this series was about to air, I was lying in bed thinking about this song and couldn’t sleep. Finally, I replaced it with Til I Gain Control Again by This Mortal Coil.

Why did you choose this?

AC: Because it makes me cry.

Is music the first? Have you ever changed what you want to write because you want to use a song?

AC: Not in general. I tend to use images. I will use a piece of music to oppose it, and then sometimes I will adjust something to suit this song. This is an organic process, but sometimes they just work. In "Lake of Bitterness" (a film about America and Islam made by Curtis in 2015), there is a david bowie song called "The Bewlay Brothers". I put it in and it was a success. I’m never literal. You see, I’m emotional. Another example is that in the first movie of the new series, I used the German version of Marlene Dietrich’s Where Have All the Flowers Gone, and at first I used the version sung by Donovan.

Bitter Lake

You also used Burial’s Forgive, who is a frequent visitor to your soundtrack.

AC：Yes, that song is very cute. But "Come Down to Us" is the best one. It is one of the great works of our time. But there are many Burial songs that I don’t like, because they are too dubstep.

I like that you use The Specials’ Do Nothing. That song is cheerful, but it is also quite nihilistic. The same is true of Sex Pistols’s Who Killed Bambi from The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle.

AC：I want to put skinheads in. Look. I always thought skinheads were said badly. I used to be a skinhead when I was young, because I like reggae and ragga (reggae branch, combined with rap) music. Skinheads are ambiguous figures, and I am attracted by ambiguous figures.

To tell the truth, a lot of this music, it sounds like "Adam Curtis Music".

AC：[Laughter] Well, I think we all have certainty and uncertainty about our personality. I’m really not sure about my writing style. I’m really not good at writing, and I’m troubled by it. But I’m very sure about my taste in music.

Can you tell me something about your editing process? The image in my mind is that you-a person-are sitting in front of a huge control panel and gradually accumulating copyright invoices. Is this real life?

AC：Corresponding to what?

Well, as long as you snap your fingers, you will have a team of student volunteers to browse the BBC files for you. But you won’t do it.

AC：What’s the point? If you draw my career, it is completely connected with the digitalization of everything. When you start digitizing images, it’s easy to rotate them quickly. That’s what I’ve been doing all my life. I have thousands of hours of videos on many hard drives.

How do you arrange your hard disk? Are they marked with things like "dark train shots" or "city view at night"?

AC：[Laughs] No. I read one day that Amazon’s execution center randomly stores items because it is more efficient. My stuff is also very random. I have a coding system, but I also have a memory of visual patterns, so I always know where everything is. My main rule is that if it makes me cry or want to dance, then it works.

Back to your use of language, what I like is how you speak in these grand ways-you put the world in epic historical terms.

AC：Do you still remember Marianne Williamson (American writer) in the primary election of American Democratic Party? I like her because she speaks in epic historical terms. Because of this, I have a lot of trouble with my American liberal friends. Back to M.R. James and "What’s coming?" This is coming. Some people put this uncertainty and confusion on a big and historic level. Britain needs the same thing. I mean, now Labour’s argument makes me want to cry.

Why is this?

AC：Because it is speaking in utilitarian terms set by the think tank. Political needs are exciting. It can be exciting because it can tell a powerful story. We are eager for this kind of story and this kind of excitement.

Yes, there are indeed many revolutionary attempts based on grand ideas that have led to terrible results. This is an indisputable fact, and it has penetrated into people’s consciousness. But it is also true that many other things based on grand ideas and revolutions have led to amazing things: for example, the United States, or mass democracy, or the welfare state. These are all born out of grand ideas. So, we are in this pessimistic world, and we seize those failed examples and say that this means that you can never change the world. But what I want to say by quoting David Gray Bo is: Yes, we all created bad things, but we also created great things.

On November 8, 2019, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang held a regular press conference

At the invitation of France, Wang Qishan, Vice President of the People’s Republic of China will go to France to attend the second Paris Peace Forum from November 11th to 13th.

France is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and a core power of the European Union. In recent years, Sino-French relations have developed in a sustained, healthy and stable manner, with close high-level exchanges between the two countries, increasing political mutual trust and continuous achievements in pragmatic cooperation in various fields. This year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. The Chairman of the Supreme Leader and President Macron successfully exchanged visits during the year and reached a series of new strategic consensus. Vice President Wang Qishan attended the second Paris Peace Forum on behalf of China shortly after President Macron’s visit to China, which reflected the high quality and level of current Sino-French relations. China is willing to work with France to continue to strengthen strategic communication, deepen pragmatic cooperation, thoroughly implement the consensus of the two heads of state, and push China-France comprehensive strategic partnership to a new level.

Q: About the South China Sea in China. This week, a senior Vietnamese official said that he hoped to resolve the South China Sea dispute with China through legal channels. Has Vietnam discussed this matter with China? If so, how did China respond?

A:The core of the South China Sea issue is the territorial issue arising from Vietnamese and other countries’ occupation of relevant islands and reefs in Nansha Islands of China. It is hoped that Vietnam will face up to historical facts, abide by the high-level consensus between the two countries, persist in resolving differences through dialogue and consultation, and avoid taking actions that may complicate relevant issues and interfere with peace and stability in the South China Sea and the overall situation of bilateral relations.

Q: On the 7th, during her visit to Germany, US Secretary of State Pompeo said that considering the challenges brought by the Communist Party of China (CPC), the construction of telecommunication network in Germany has become very complicated. Earlier, Pompeo said in an interview with the media that we should ensure that all countries in the world understand the risks related to the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the consequences of our long-term tolerance. What’s your comment on this?

A:Pompeo’s attacks discredit China’s political system, exaggerate the so-called China threat, and are full of ideological prejudice and cold war zero-sum game thinking. China expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition.

Pompeo separated the people of China from the Communist Party of China (CPC) in an attempt to sow discord between the people of China and the Communist Party of China (CPC). I can tell him clearly that the Communist Party of China (CPC), the ruling party in China, has always represented and firmly safeguarded the interests of the people of China in the struggle for nearly a hundred years, and has won the deep trust and heartfelt support of the people of China. The words and deeds of trying to separate the people of China and the Communist Party of China (CPC) are a provocation to all the people of China and are doomed to fail.

It must be pointed out that Pompeo’s remarks are very dangerous, which is seriously inconsistent with his status as US Secretary of State, and fully exposes his sinister intention of trying to gain personal political capital through anti-China.

We advise him to stop nagging at China for no reason, lest he shoot himself in the foot.

Q: First, the United States has not made a public response to the statement made by China’s Ministry of Commerce yesterday on the cancellation of tariffs between China and the United States. Have the two sides really reached an agreement on this? It seems that the United States still hesitates on this issue. Some American officials accused China of trying to renegotiate the first-stage agreement for its own benefit, while the United States had only agreed to cancel those tariffs that had not yet been imposed. Second, what is China’s concern about the time and place of signing the agreement on the first stage of economic and trade consultation? U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo hinted that the U.S. side will hold an informal APEC leaders’ meeting in January next year, when an agreement will be signed with China. Even so, the signing of the agreement between the two countries during the APEC meeting in Chile was postponed. What’s your comment on this?

A:Regarding your questions, especially the cancellation of tariffs between China and the United States, at the press conference of the Ministry of Commerce yesterday, the spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce gave a comprehensive and full response. I have nothing to add here.

Q: As usual, during the BRICS leaders’ meeting, all parties will hold BRICS+related activities. However, there seems to be no relevant arrangement during the upcoming BRICS leaders’ meeting in Brazil this year. Does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs know the specific reasons? Does this mean that the BRICS countries have lost an opportunity to enhance relations with Latin America?

A:Since its inception, the BRICS mechanism has been closely linked with the fate of emerging markets and developing countries. Strengthening cooperation with other developing countries is the responsibility of BRICS countries as emerging powers, and it is also a fine tradition that we have always adhered to. In 2017, China initiated the "BRIC+"model and held the "Dialogue between Emerging Market Countries and Developing Countries" during the meeting of BRICS leaders in Xiamen. For the first time, it invited guest countries from all over the world to attend the meeting, which was highly praised by all parties. Last year, South Africa continued this practice and continued to hold the BRICS+Leaders’ Dialogue during the Johannesburg meeting, which achieved positive results. This year, we continued the "BRIC+"model in many activities and invited some representatives from emerging markets and developing countries to participate, further expanding the "circle of friends" of BRICS countries and promoting the common development of all countries.

China respects the decision of the BRICS Chairman not to hold the BRICS+Leaders’ Dialogue during the meeting in Brasilia this year.

Q: Ask a question about APEC. It is reported that the United States is considering holding an APEC meeting in January next year after Chile canceled the APEC meeting. What is China’s attitude towards this?

A:Regarding what you asked, we have been keeping in touch with all parties concerned to understand the situation. As a matter of principle, we believe that when it comes to APEC matters, we should respect the opinions of the host and follow the principle of consensus.

Q: Today, Japanese local councillor Sakuragi was sentenced to life imprisonment by the China court. What is China’s comment on this?

A:Today, the Intermediate People’s Court of Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province issued a public verdict on the drug smuggling case according to law, among which a Japanese citizen Sakuragi pondered. On October 31, 2013, when he was preparing to take a flight back to Japan via Shanghai at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, the security personnel seized methamphetamine, commonly known as ice, in the interlayer of the suitcase tie rod and the women’s muffin sandals in the box, with 3289 grams. According to the laws of China, the Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court sentenced Sakuragi to life imprisonment and confiscated all personal property. The court has released news on this.

I should add that China has informed the Japanese Consulate General in Guangzhou about this case.

****************************

　　In terms of precious metals, the international gold price rose unabated, hitting a record high on Tuesday. At the close, the New York Mercantile Exchange gold futures price in April closed at $2,141.9 per ounce, an increase of 0.73%.

　　The main reason for the international gold price to hit a new high is that the market’s expectation that the Federal Reserve will start to cut interest rates in June has recently warmed up significantly. In particular, Federal Reserve Governor Waller said in a public speech recently that supporting the Fed to sell long-term US bonds and buy more short-term US bonds, such a "reverse operation twist" will increase market liquidity and benefit the upward movement of gold prices.

　　Domestic gold price hit a record high.

　　"The price tag was updated at 11 o’clock today, and the latest gold price was 645 yuan/gram." At Chow Tai Fook counter in Vientiane Hui, the staff said to a male customer who was looking at jewelry, "Do you have any jewelry you like? The price of gold may rise. "

　　"The price of gold is a bit too high to buy. There are dozens of grams of jewelry at home, and the style is old. Come to the store for two new bracelets." At the counter of Laofengxiang, a customer is trading in the old for the new.

　　However, it is worth noting that each gold brand has different rules for "trade-in". Generally speaking, when recycling, it is recycled according to the basic gold price, and manual fees and other fees cannot be refunded. Some brands also charge depreciation fees.

　　On the 5th, China’s first trunk civil aircraft C919, which has completely independent intellectual property rights and is developed according to the latest international airworthiness standards, successfully made its first flight.

　　C919 has received 570 orders from all over the world. This large aircraft has promoted the development of the domestic aircraft manufacturing industry chain and achieved a major historical breakthrough in China’s aviation industry.

　　Here are the ten questions you want to know about C919:

　　1. Why does C919 have China’s independent intellectual property rights?

　　The full name of C919 is COMAC 919, which is the abbreviation of China Commercial Aircraft Corporation, the main manufacturer of C919. "C" is not only the first letter of COMAC, but also the first letter of China’s English name "China", which shows that the large passenger plane is the will of the country and the expectation of the people. The first "9" means "everlasting", and the first "19" means that the maximum capacity of C919 passenger plane is 190 passengers.

　　For such a complex product as a large aircraft, the overall design is extremely important. Without the overall design, even if the world’s best engine, fuselage, flight control, telex and so on are combined, you can’t get a flying plane. Wu Guanghui, the chief designer of C919, said that C919 is a trunk aircraft designed independently by China, and it has completely independent intellectual property rights in terms of the overall design of the aircraft.

　　The outer "shells" such as nose, fuselage, tail and wing come from China’s Chengfei, Hongdu, Shen Fei and Xifei enterprises, while many other key parts come from foreign enterprises. It is reported that global procurement is a major feature of civil aircraft manufacturing, and suppliers of Boeing and Airbus also come from all over the world. However, a major mission of C919 is to promote the development of domestic civil aircraft industry chain, and it is believed that more and more parts will come from China enterprises.

　　2. Why isn’t the C919 equipped with a domestic engine?

　　At present, China does not have the ability to produce engines suitable for civil large passenger aircraft, and the engines of international civil aircraft manufacturers are also purchased from suppliers.

　　At present, the international civil aviation engine manufacturers mainly include Rolls-Royce of Britain, GM and Pratt Whitney of the United States, Snecma of France, and IAE and CFMI with multinational cooperation.

　　Of course, it is best to use engines from China, but the development of civil aviation engine industry can only be driven by large aircraft. Without a big plane, there will be no demand, and there will be no platform. This is the relationship between the industry leader and the industrial chain.

　　3. How is the security of C919?

　　Wu Guanghui said that the C919 large passenger plane is designed according to more advanced technical standards, adopts the most advanced power, avionics, flight control and other systems provided by world-class suppliers, and is designed and produced in full accordance with international airworthiness standards, so its safety is fully guaranteed.

　　In the end, whether the C919 aircraft is safe or not is not the decision of its manufacturer, China Commercial Aircraft Corporation, but the airworthiness certification of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. In other words, the flight mission of civil aviation can only be carried out if it conforms to all aspects of the test of aircraft by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and the safety test is the most important.

　　4. Which airlines will meet C919?

　　C919 has received 570 orders from 23 companies around the world. At present, many airlines such as China Eastern Airlines, Air China, China Southern Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Sichuan Airlines, Hebei Airlines, Happiness Airlines, Germany Puren Airlines, Thailand Metropolitan Airlines, and many financial leasing companies such as Ping An International Financial Leasing, ICBC Financial Leasing and Bank of Communications Financial Leasing have purchased C919. Liu Shaoyong, chairman of China Eastern Airlines Group Corporation, said: "China Eastern Airlines has become the first user of C919. China Eastern Airlines will strive to operate this aircraft well and have full confidence in domestic large passenger aircraft."

　　5. Can C919 be favored by airlines?

　　For airlines, economic and environmentally friendly aircraft have strong profitability; For passengers, riding comfortably can win the favor of passengers.

　　The C919 large passenger plane is designed to reduce weight and drag, and the advanced new generation engine LEAP-1C is adopted, which greatly reduces the cruise fuel consumption rate (SFC) and has obvious economic competitive advantages. Leap-1C, an advanced new-generation engine, is adopted. The outfield noise meets the fourth-stage noise requirements of ICAO with a margin, and the emission of nitrogen oxides is reduced by 50% compared with the requirements of ICAO CAEP 6, which is highly environmentally friendly.

　　The large fuselage of C919 passenger plane will provide more space for passengers. At the same time, it will provide high-quality fresh air with high-efficiency air filtration system, and the cabin lighting will adopt humanized scene lighting design to give passengers a warm and considerate comfortable environment.

　　6. What new materials are available for C919 to make the aircraft light and long-lived?

　　Compared with traditional aluminum alloy, Al-Li alloy has higher specific strength and stiffness, and stronger damage tolerance, fatigue resistance and radiation resistance. The use of Al-Li alloy can greatly improve the life of aircraft.

　　Wu Guanghui introduced that C919 has established the material specification system, design allowable value system and manufacturing process specification system of Al-Li alloy through a lot of research and development and verification tests. The third generation Al-Li alloy is applied to the fuselage skin, stringer and floor beam structure of C919, and the consumption reaches 7.4% of the weight of the fuselage structure.

　　At the same time, breakthroughs have been made in the application of composite materials. The application of composite materials has realized the integration and lightweight of the airframe structure, and the amount of composite materials has reached 11.5% of the airframe structure weight. It is the first time to use composite materials in the main load-bearing structure, high temperature area and pressurization area of civil aircraft in China.

　　Titanium alloy has been applied in the central flange, engine suspension, spherical frame flange, lappet wing slide rail, vertical tail butt joint and other parts. The amount of titanium alloy reaches 7.3% of the structural weight of the machine body.

　　7. How does C919 apply 3D printing technology in the manufacturing process?

　　C919 successfully applied 3D printing titanium alloy parts for the first time. Titanium alloy 3D printed parts have been successfully applied to the complex parts of C919 hatch, and their mechanical properties are obviously higher than those of the original castings, which effectively shortens the delivery cycle of the parts and quickly responds to the optimization changes of numerical simulation. The special raw materials and product specifications for titanium alloy 3D printing were established, which effectively ensured the product performance requirements.

　　8. How awesome is the "supercritical airfoil" of C919?

　　There are many major technological breakthroughs in the design and development of C919, such as the design of supercritical airfoil. Zhang Miao, deputy chief designer of C919 model of Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute, said that supercritical airfoil can reduce aircraft drag, improve aircraft performance and help reduce fuel consumption. The first time we independently designed supercritical airfoil, it reached the advanced level in the world and was recognized by international peers.

　　9. What should C919 do after its successful first flight?

　　After the first flight is successful, C919 will be transferred to the airworthiness forensics stage. Airworthiness certification is the management and technical realization process to ensure that the aircraft meets the minimum acceptable safety standards (airworthiness standards) formulated according to public requirements: the aircraft must be designed according to airworthiness requirements; There must be a suitable system to ensure that the aircraft design meets the airworthiness requirements; The applicant must show the CAAC that its large passenger plane meets the airworthiness requirements by means of calculation, analysis, inspection and test. Only products that have passed airworthiness examination and verification and obtained airworthiness certificate can enter the market.

　　10. How will C919 drive industrial development?

　　Jin Zhuanglong, Chairman and Party Secretary of China Commercial Aircraft Corporation, said that China’s civil aviation industry chain driven by C919 large passenger aircraft has great potential. With Shanghai as the leader, 22 provinces and cities including Shaanxi, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Liaoning and Jiangsu, more than 200 enterprises and nearly 200,000 people participated in the development and production of large passenger aircraft projects, forming an industrial chain, a value chain and a innovation chain. Promote the establishment of 16 joint ventures in avionics, flight control, power supply, fuel and landing gear, and upgrade the supporting energy level of China civil aircraft industry.

　　This has not only significantly improved the basic outlook of China’s civil aviation industry development, but also forged an industrial chain with great potential for China’s economic transformation and upgrading.

　　In the future, with the promotion of large passenger aircraft projects and the batch production of jet aircraft in China, this industrial chain will gradually exert great economic potential.
