Sunbathing, China supports the "report card" of the United Nations cause.

  At the invitation of Foreign Minister Qin Gang of China, Korosi, President of the 77th UN General Assembly, visited China from February 1 to 4.

  Kohler Heezen commented on China’s contribution to the cause of the United Nations: China has always been the strong backing of the cause of the United Nations and played an important role in the fields of climate change and peacekeeping.

  As a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and the first country to sign the Charter of the United Nations, China has always defended the purposes and principles of the Charter, always safeguarded the central role of the United Nations in international affairs, and unswervingly worked as a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of the international order. By combing the relevant facts and data, people can see China’s clear and remarkable "report card" for supporting the United Nations cause.

  The key force of global peacekeeping

  The United Nations, founded at the end of World War II, bears the expectations of people of all countries for permanent peace. However, Chinese civilization has always advocated "building a harmonious country", "harmony is different" and "harmony is the most important thing" to maintain peace and stability. China and the United Nations share the same ideas.

  In today’s world, conflicts continue and various security challenges emerge one after another. In April 2022, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader put forward the Global Security Initiative at the Boao Forum for Asia, stressing that mankind is an inseparable security community, contributing China wisdom to make up the peace deficit of mankind, and providing China’s solution to international security challenges, which won wide recognition from the international community, including the United Nations.

  Actively participate in the political settlement of hot issues in major regions such as the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, the Iranian nuclear issue, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Palestine and Israel; Efforts should be made to safeguard the authority and unity of the Security Council and support the United Nations in providing good offices in accordance with its mandate; Actively participate in the international arms control and disarmament process and join dozens of international arms control treaties and mechanisms such as the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons; On the Ukrainian crisis, China has always decided its position and policy according to the merits of the matter itself, upheld an objective and fair position, and actively persuaded and promoted talks … … China shares security with the world and injects positive energy into world and regional peace and stability.

  Former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that China is committed to being a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of international order, which is consistent with the ideals enshrined in the UN Charter.

  Power source of global development

  "In the face of the severe impact of the epidemic, we should jointly push global development towards a new stage of balance, coordination and tolerance. Here, I would like to propose a global development initiative. " In September 2021, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader put forward the global development initiative for the first time at the general debate of the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

  Adhere to development priority, people-centeredness, inclusiveness, innovation drive, harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and action orientation — — China’s proposition aroused warm response from the world, and China’s action promoted world development and progress.

  Today, the global development initiative has achieved a series of early gains: the establishment of the global development promotion center, and the invitation of the "Group of Friends of the Global Development Initiative" countries, regional organizations and relevant departments of the United Nations to designate corresponding institutions to establish the "Global Development Promotion Center Network", which has been joined by counterparts from 31 countries and regional organizations; A global development project library has been established. The first batch of 50 projects have been started, and now more than 100 projects have been expanded, and 1000 human resources training sessions have been carried out, covering more than 50 "friends group" countries.

  In the past ten years, the "One Belt, One Road" initiative has also become a popular platform for international public goods and international cooperation, covering two-thirds of countries and one-third of international organizations.

  Natalia Kanem, Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund, said that with the global population exceeding 8 billion, China’s development and contribution will benefit many countries in the world.

  The biggest contributor to global poverty reduction

  "China has solved the problem of food and clothing for more than 1.3 billion people and lifted more than 700 million people out of poverty, which is a major contribution to the cause of human rights in the world." In January 2017, when the Chairman of the Supreme Leader delivered a keynote speech at the UN headquarters, he pointed out the world significance of poverty reduction in China.

  In December, 2020, China officially announced that after eight years of continuous struggle, China had completed the goal and task of tackling poverty in the new era as scheduled. Under the current standards, all the poor people in rural areas were lifted out of poverty, and all the poverty-stricken counties were stripped of their hats, thus eliminating absolute poverty and regional overall poverty and achieving a major victory that made the world sit up and take notice.

  Poverty is a chronic disease in human society, and anti-poverty has always been a major event in governing the country and safeguarding the country at all times and in all countries. Facing the global governance problem of poverty eradication, China has never hesitated to share its experience and contribute to international poverty reduction while achieving its own poverty reduction.

  In recent years, China has made great efforts to provide "six 100" projects to developing countries, including 100 poverty alleviation projects, 100 agricultural cooperation projects, 100 trade promotion assistance projects, 100 ecological protection and climate change response projects, 100 hospitals and clinics, 100 schools and vocational training centers, to help the countries concerned reduce poverty.

  In the Asian region, China has implemented the demonstration cooperation technical assistance project for poverty reduction in East Asia in rural communities in Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar; In Africa, China has built water conservancy infrastructure for African countries, built a demonstration zone for agricultural cooperation, and promoted the implementation of projects such as technical cooperation between China and Africa; In the South Pacific region, carry out technical cooperation and assistance projects such as infrastructure construction and agricultural medical care; In Latin America, build agricultural technology demonstration centers to help local people in recipient countries get rid of poverty … …

  UN Secretary-General Guterres said that China is "the country that has made the greatest contribution to global poverty reduction".

  Unite the practitioners who fight the epidemic.

  "People from all countries watch and help each other, showing the courage, determination and care of mankind in the face of major disasters, and illuminating the darkest moment. The epidemic will eventually be defeated by mankind, and victory will surely belong to the people of the world! " In September, 2020, when the COVID-19 epidemic was raging repeatedly around the world, the speech made by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader in the general debate of the 75th United Nations General Assembly was inspiring.

  Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, China has been helping each other with the rest of the world, sharing anti-epidemic experience in time, rushing to help other countries with anti-epidemic materials, and actively carrying out international anti-epidemic cooperation. China has provided anti-epidemic materials to 153 countries and 15 international organizations, and co-organized more than 300 technical exchange activities such as epidemic prevention and control and medical treatment with more than 180 countries and regions and more than 10 international organizations around the world.

  China was the first country to promise the new crown vaccine as a global public product, to support the exemption of intellectual property rights in vaccine research and development, and to cooperate with developing countries in vaccine production, which injected a strong impetus into bridging the global "immunization gap". China actively played the role of traditional Chinese medicine, held more than 100 video exchanges and live broadcasts of anti-epidemic experts, introduced the diagnosis and treatment schemes of traditional Chinese medicine to more than 150 countries and regions, and provided traditional Chinese medicine products to some countries and regions in need.

  Romina Sudak, a member of the Argentina Research Group in China, Rosario University, Argentina, said that China has helped developing countries to fight the epidemic, and China has implemented its consistent concept of "community of human destiny" with practical actions.

  The doer of green development

  "The sky goes at four o’clock without words, and everything is alive without words." China is an active advocate and a down-to-earth doer in tackling climate change and strengthening global environmental governance.

  Chairman of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly expounded China’s proposition of building a clean and beautiful world and protecting the beautiful home of the earth on United Nations occasions. "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. We should follow the concept of harmony between man and nature and seek the road of sustainable development. "

  Make a historic contribution to the conclusion and rapid entry into force of the Paris Agreement, take the lead in issuing the National Plan for China to Implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, fully implement the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, announce the timetable and road map for achieving peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality, and introduce the "1+N" policy system for implementing the dual-carbon goal, leading the world in the field of renewable energy development, becoming the country with the greatest contribution to the global ozone layer protection, and making green practical. … As the largest developing country, China promotes the construction of a community of human and natural life with consistent determination and strong measures, and contributes to the protection of human common home and the realization of human sustainable development.

  Simon Steele, Executive Secretary of the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, said that at present, the international community is facing an energy crisis, and China has made substantial progress in the field of climate change and played an important role in promoting the global response to climate change.

  At present, the world is standing at the crossroads of history. The changes of the world, times and history are unfolding in an unprecedented way, and human society is facing unprecedented challenges. People pray for the sunshine of peace, development and progress to penetrate the haze of war, poverty and backwardness.

  The road is not alone, and the world is a family. China is willing to work with other countries in the world to push the United Nations to play a more active role in the lofty cause of promoting human peace and development, to promote the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom, to safeguard world peace, promote world development and promote the building of a community of human destiny.

Regarding the reform of the camp, where has the Prime Minister been this year and what has he said?

  As an important task in the reform of the fiscal and taxation system, the reform of the camp-to-camp has attracted the attention of Premier Li Keqiang, who has repeatedly stressed that the tax burden of all industries should be reduced rather than increased! In Kuanzhai Lane and Shiyan Citizen Service Center, Li Keqiang has been concerned about the "reform of the camp". Since the beginning of this year, where has Premier Li Keqiang been and what has he said about the reform of the camp? The State Council client will sort it out for you one by one.

  May 23, 2016 Shiyan, Hubei

  On May 23rd, during his inspection tour in Hubei, Li Keqiang visited Beijing Road Sub-branch of Shiyan Rural Commercial Bank to inquire about the tax burden changes of financial institutions after the reform of the camp. After more than 10 minutes of inquiry, the Prime Minister reiterated that the reform of the camp should ensure that the tax burden of all industries is only reduced and not increased, and the reform of the financial industry should especially prevent the increase in tax burden from being passed on to the real economy.

  At Shiyan Citizen Service Center, the Prime Minister inquired about the implementation effect of the reform of the camp and reiterated that "the tax burden of all industries will only decrease, not increase". After learning that the tax revenue has decreased after the reform, but the tax base is expanding, the Prime Minister said: "The purpose of this reform is to reduce taxes for enterprises and stimulate the vitality of market players by releasing water to raise fish."

  Chengdu, Sichuan, April 25, 2016

  On the evening of April 25th, Li Keqiang visited Kuanzhai Lane in Chengdu at night. On the surface, this is just a "stroll" tour, but in fact, the Prime Minister’s stop in front of each booth is a "small investigation". He asked a number of shopkeepers in detail about business changes, tax burden, and opinions on the upcoming "camp reform", and felt the "market temperature" on the spot.

  The State Council Symposium on April 11, 2016

  On April 11th, Li Keqiang hosted a symposium in the State Council to study the issues related to the full implementation of camp reform, listen to the opinions of some provinces, and plan the next step. Li Keqiang pointed out: "It is very important to deepen the reform by increasing the camp ‘ Chess ’ , is to move the interests, move ‘ Cheese ’ Yes. But we are determined to ensure the smooth progress of the reform! All departments should cooperate closely and actively solve the problems encountered in the reform. "

  On April 1, 2016, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China and the Ministry of Finance

  On the afternoon of April 1st, one month after the "countdown" to the full implementation of the reform of the camp reform, Li Keqiang visited State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China and the Ministry of Finance and presided over a symposium, stressing the need to do a solid job in all aspects of the full implementation of the camp reform. In his subsequent speech, Li Keqiang emphasized that after the reform, "all industries will only decrease, not increase, and not only big industries. This sentence can’t be swallowed, but it depends on your careful operation. "

  The State Council executive meeting on March 18, 2016

  On March 18th, Premier Li Keqiang presided over the the State Council executive meeting. The meeting reviewed and approved the pilot program of comprehensively pushing forward the reform of the camp, and made it clear that from May 1, 2016, the scope of the pilot program of the reform of the camp will be extended to the construction industry, real estate industry, financial industry and life service industry, so as to achieve full coverage of the goods and services industries, open up the tax deduction chain, and support the development of modern service industry and the upgrading of manufacturing industry.

  Government work report on March 5, 2016

  On March 5th, Premier Li Keqiang made it clear in his 2016 government work report that the reform of the camp will be fully implemented this year. From May 1st, the pilot scope will be extended to the construction industry, real estate industry, financial industry and life service industry, and the value-added tax included in the newly-added real estate of all enterprises will be included in the deduction scope to ensure that the tax burden of all industries will only be reduced but not increased.

  On January 22, 2016, a symposium was held to promote the reform of the fiscal and taxation system.

  On January 22nd, Premier Li Keqiang presided over a forum to study how to comprehensively push forward the reform of the business tax system, speed up the reform of the fiscal and taxation system, further significantly reduce the corporate tax burden, and mobilize the development enthusiasm of all parties. Li Keqiang pointed out that it is necessary to comprehensively push forward the reform of the camp reform and accelerate the reform of the fiscal and taxation system. This year, the comprehensive promotion of the reform of the camp and the increase of the input tax deduction for some tax items will bring about large-scale tax cuts, and both the central and local governments should take measures to put them in place. It is necessary to grasp the rhythm, advance steadily, adopt incremental and gradual methods to promote reform, avoid the impact of changes in the pattern of financial allocation on the smooth operation of the economy, and ensure that relevant reform measures take effect as soon as possible.

One arrow in ten years "asks the sky"

  CCTV News:The successful launch this afternoon (July 24th) is the first experimental module of China’s space station, which consists of three parts: the working module, the airlock module and the resource module. It is the heaviest single-cabin active aircraft in the world. The candlestick experimental module has the backup function of several key systems in the core module. It can be said that it is of great significance to the construction of China’s space station, and its many innovative technologies have also set many new records in the development of spacecraft in our country, which is another major achievement made by China Aerospace in its efforts to achieve high-level self-reliance. 

  Behind such a great achievement, the average age of the designer team of the candlestick experimental cabin is only in their thirties, and they are a group of young people. Today’s story about China Space Station, we will listen to the innovative stories of these young people. One arrow in ten years, "ask the sky", to feel the innovative power of this young designer team.

  At 14: 22 this afternoon, the Changwu B rocket carrying the candlestick experimental module was successfully launched.

  Just as everyone was taking a group photo to celebrate, one team was still staring at the computer screen nervously, waiting for an important news.

  About an hour after the launch, the solar wing of the candlestick experimental module unfolded smoothly. Until then, the hanging heart of the team relaxed a little.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:The deployment of solar wing windsurfing is the most important key event in the early stage of our orbit. Only if it succeeds can our aircraft fly smoothly and safely.

  Zhang Jiao is the chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental module, and his team is the team of designers who have been with the candlestick experimental module for ten years. 

  The flexible solar wing is deployed in sections to ensure the attitude stability of the experimental cabin.

  In order to provide enough energy for the space station, the space experiment module carries two huge flexible solar wings, and the length of each wing can reach 28 meters. In order to ensure the attitude stability of the space experiment module, the solar wings adopt a brand-new deployment method — — Expand in sections.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:First of all, in the solo flight stage, expand the length by 1/3 to 1/4, and expand it by about 6.5 meters, so that it can fly in a contracted way first. After the contracted flight, its stiffness will be good and its control will be stable. When we finish the rendezvous and docking, it will be completely expanded again.

  On March 30, 2012, that is, ten years ago, the space station officially shifted from the scheme demonstration stage to the scheme design stage. On the second day, Zhang Jiao, who had just returned from studying abroad, joined the team of space station designers as he wished. In the past ten years, the team of designers, including Zhang Jiao, has overcome many difficulties, constantly innovated and searched for the best solution. In their view, it is the responsibility of their generation of astronauts to do a good job in the space station and use it well in the future.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:On the second day, I officially entered a node of the conceptual design of the space station and joined the design team of the space station. Therefore, I will keep this day in mind. 

  How to successfully transfer the space migration and transposition experiment module?

  Just as Zhang Jiao, a young and energetic man, was about to make a big splash, reality poured cold water on him. After the rendezvous and docking of the port and the core module in the previous paragraph, the candlestick experimental module needs to be transferred to the lateral port before the launch of the Mengtian experimental module. Two big guys weighing more than 20 tons have to complete the migration and transposition in space, and they may roll and drift if they are not careful. What attitude the space station will take to complete this ultra-difficult action is puzzling everyone.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:In what form? What actuator is used for transposition? How to decompose the function of transposition? How to match the time sequence? How to verify the ground? Is the link of verification covered? What can each covered link come back? Answer me, how did my technical indicators match? These are all questions we need to answer, and we haven’t slept well for two years.

  Task-level experiment, function-level experiment, test verification, model flight test, etc. In two years, the team of designers made thousands of experiments through simulation, and finally found the most stable and reliable flight attitude.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:We found that such a transposition posture based on gravity gradient stability is the smallest for posture drift in the transfer process, that is to say, before transposition, I first set the cabin up and turned it into a slender one-line combination. For example, I hold this pen like this, which is actually very easy to roll and roll, but if I hold it, it will be stable by gravity gradient, which is a form of my center of gravity, and it is a basically quasi-stable combination.

  At 6: 59 on January 6, 2022, after about 47 minutes of cross-system close cooperation, the test of the space station manipulator to transfer the cargo spacecraft was a complete success. This is the first time that China has used the space station manipulator to operate a large-scale on-orbit aircraft for the transfer test.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:During the transposition of Tianzhou-2, we have verified the basic configuration and posture in advance, so the scheme we designed before is reasonable, so our subsequent transposition of the experimental module will also follow this posture scheme. 

  Designer team: it is the responsibility of astronauts to do a good job in the space station

  Overcoming the problem of transposition is only the tip of the iceberg in the development process of the experimental capsule. The summary document of the initial sample development stage of the experimental capsule from June 2014 to December 2020 has nearly 700 pages and more than 600,000 words.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:We have nearly 4,000 fault mode countermeasures just for the rendezvous and docking of the experimental capsule and the linear construction of the two capsules, and we can accurately locate and identify the fault at the first moment, and we can deal with it in time.

  Different from other types of spacecraft, the results can often be seen after several years of development cycle, and the development of the space station took ten years. In this decade, the team of space station designers had no chance to celebrate, but only insisted on sitting on the bench.

  Zhang Jiao, chief designer of the overall system of the candlestick experimental cabin of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:It was not until the launch of the core cabin on April 29 last year that we really felt the joy of the first copy. Doing a good job in the space station is to design it well, develop it well, and use it well again, which is the responsibility of our generation of astronauts.

  Zhang Hao, the overall chief designer of the space station system of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:Everyone is United in their efforts, and there is nothing else. They are all thinking about how to do this thing and this model well and do this business well.

  Zheng Hao, deputy chief designer of the space station system of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group:The launch vehicle played perfectly and a big stone in my heart fell to the ground. I hope everything goes well in the following work, and then the rendezvous and docking will be completed perfectly tomorrow, which is an important step in the construction of our space station.

Let the world better understand Chinese modernization.

  In his congratulatory letter to the 2023 International Conference on "Understanding China" (Guangzhou), General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "The key to understanding China is to understand Chinese modernization." Today, China is comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese modernization, and promoting the building of a community of human destiny. The future and destiny of China are closely linked with the future and destiny of mankind. Strengthening the international spread of Chinese-style modernization and making the world better understand Chinese-style modernization is of great significance to the smooth advancement of Chinese-style modernization and the modernization process of human society. How to speed up the construction of Chinese modern narrative system? How to better build a Chinese-style modern discourse system for external communication? How to enhance the creativity, appeal and credibility of foreign discourse? This observation edition focuses on these issues.

  Understand, listen, resonate and empathize.

  Enhance the creativity, appeal and credibility of foreign discourse

  Zhang Zheng

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "It is necessary to strengthen the capacity building of international communication, carefully construct a foreign discourse system, give full play to the role of emerging media, enhance the creativity, appeal and credibility of foreign discourse, tell the story of China well, spread the voice of China well and explain the characteristics of China well." In order for the international community to better understand Chinese modernization, it is necessary to carefully construct a foreign discourse system and continuously enhance the creativity, appeal and credibility of Chinese modernization’s foreign communication discourse.

  Enhance creativity, update the theme and make the carrier more alive. At present, the competition in the field of international communication is becoming more and more fierce, and the general themes and backward carriers lack strong communication ability, and the ideas and voices that they want to convey are often drowned out. To make the Chinese-style modern discourse of foreign communication be heard by more people, and to enhance the accessibility of China’s voice and China’s image, we need to constantly enhance our creativity. Organizationally, it is necessary to further strengthen the top-level design, mobilize the extensive participation of multiple communication subjects, and narrate the same event from different levels and perspectives to form a joint force of communication. Give full play to the role of foreigners who are good at China, overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese organizations, encourage content creation platforms to launch creative incentive systems for overseas users, and inspire them to observe and interpret the practical achievements and deep value concepts of Chinese modernization from the perspective of foreigners. In terms of communication content, it not only shows the profound connotation of Chinese modernization, but also refines the spiritual identity of Chinese excellent traditional culture and establishes the corresponding strategic communication interpretation system; It also focuses on the new look of China today, and tells the story of innovation, creation and entrepreneurship of Chinese modernization.

  An important aspect of building a foreign discourse carrier is to be good at letting China products and China brands speak. Commodity trade and service trade are cultural exchanges in a broad sense and cultural communication with affinity and effectiveness. The ancient Silk Road and today’s "Belt and Road" all promote the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations through business contacts. It is necessary to give full play to the advantages of China’s manufacturing industry, the role of export enterprises and Internet platform enterprises in shaping the national image, and use the organizational advantages and brand competitiveness of enterprises to promote the international spread of Chinese modernization, so that China products and China brands with China cultural genes can become carriers to show the profound connotation and vitality of Chinese modernization. Creative understanding of the global "concept market", IP operation of China’s discourse and its derivatives, and "going out to sea culture" to carry China’s discourse, make China’s discourse derivatives form an industrial chain and expand their influence. For example, China style, China spirit and China style are displayed in the multi-modal content such as online literature, games, short videos and TV plays, which are widely welcomed by foreign audiences, so that the creative content rich in China discourse is both visual and interactive, and the audience’s immersive experience is enhanced.

  Enhance charisma, make communication easier and empathize more. Inspiring is a process of moving from emotion to heart. Enhancing the appeal is not only to let more people hear the Chinese-style modern discourse of foreign communication, but also to make people understand, listen, resonate and empathize, so that China’s voice can win the understanding and recognition of the international community. The fireworks in the world touch the hearts of ordinary people the most. Among the common feelings of human beings, such as affection, friendship and love, the communication "contact" of empathy, resonance and resonance can be found best in the encounters and daily life of ordinary people. The external communication of Chinese modernization needs to combine macro narrative with micro narrative from a lighter perspective, firmly grasp the "people", the main force of Chinese modernization, and reflect the real changes that Chinese modernization has brought to people’s lives in China with the stories of ordinary individuals. Combining poverty alleviation, overall well-off, rural revitalization and common prosperity with individual destiny, family life, urban and rural changes and enterprise development will make China’s discourse more approachable. For example, Chinese cuisine and festivals in China are welcomed by foreign people, and people’s struggles and family reunions can be integrated into such audio-visual works, which will arouse the audience’s deep empathy.

  To achieve the goal of easier communication and more empathy, we must also grasp the audience’s acceptance and communication preferences. Reception aesthetics and reception theory believe that the social effect of literary and artistic works is determined by the reader’s participation and reception attitude. In the field of international communication, on the basis of firm cultural self-confidence, we should grasp the acceptance degree and communication preference of foreign audiences, adapt to the trend of differentiated and differentiated communication, and consider the different needs and reception characteristics of audiences. For example, various means can be used to find "common elements". At the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Winter Olympics, a series of pictures of Chinese aesthetic composition, such as welcoming fireworks and Chinese knot patterns, interpreted Chinese romance. This kind of "blank space" in telling stories with picture aesthetics reduces the possible understanding differences brought by language and writing, so that foreign audiences can not only feel the charm of Chinese aesthetics, but also have their own broad interpretation space.

  Enhance credibility, make recognition stronger and respond faster. Credible words make people willing to listen and listen to the letter. To enhance the credibility of Chinese-style modern discourse in foreign communication, we should adhere to precise policies, formulate communication plans according to the geographical connection between different countries and regions and China, the closeness of cultural genes, the smoothness of cultural trade and the closeness of cultural exchanges, and clarify the focus of attention on China discourse in public opinion fields of different countries and regions, so as to carry out targeted communication. Respond to the concerns of the international community in a differentiated and proactive manner, actively communicate and talk with international organizations, media, academic institutions, etc., adhere to the principle of objectivity and rationality, not only show achievements, but also grasp the degree, tell our own stories honestly and reasonably, pay attention to convincing people with reason and moving people with emotion, and enhance credibility in effective dialogue.

  With the continuous development and evolution of new media technology and digital platform, global communication has accelerated into the platform era. To enhance the credibility of foreign discourse, it is necessary to deeply study the law of international communication on the digital platform, explore the establishment of an international public opinion simulation system, regularly evaluate the effect of foreign communication, and continuously improve the foreign communication strategy. At the same time, in the era of great development of artificial intelligence, we should realize that the dispute of artificial intelligence is not only a technical competition, but also a dispute of the right to speak. We should focus on optimizing the information allocation of artificial intelligence model, training artificial intelligence model with China discourse data, preventing and resolving the risk of China discourse being excluded and obscured in the global public opinion field, and striving to grasp the initiative of discourse information dissemination.

  Self-confidence, self-reliance and integration of dialectical unity between China and foreign countries

  Better build a Chinese-style modern discourse system for external communication.

  Li Zhi Lei Yuejie

  Chinese-style modernization is a socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), which has rich theoretical connotation and scientific practice path. Promoting the spread of Chinese-style modernization will help the world understand Chinese-style modernization, and then understand and identify with this road of modernization independently chosen by the people of China. The key to promoting the spread of Chinese modernization lies in the construction of discourse system. The discourse system of Chinese-style modern external communication is an organic system composed of many factors and levels. We should adhere to the overall situation, integrity and long-term vision, and examine and construct discourse innovation under the overall framework of global communication pattern, international communication strategy, external communication situation and Chinese and foreign historical and cultural traditions.

  Insist on self-confidence and self-reliance to promote discourse innovation. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Behind words is thought, yes ‘ Dao ’ 。” From the logic of the formation of the discourse system, the discourse system of Chinese modernization is the product of discourse construction of the practice and experience of Chinese modernization. For a long time, in the process of promoting modernization, how to build its own modernization discourse system and break the monopoly of western modernization discourse has become an urgent problem for developing countries to promote modernization. Discourse is the external expression of ideas, and the Chinese-style modern discourse system for external communication carries China Thought, China Theory and China’s ideas, which must be independently constructed by China. We should persist in self-confidence and self-reliance, firmly grasp the initiative of discourse, and make the Chinese-style modernization discourse system reflect China’s national interests and stand, show the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation, and show the distinctive characteristics of Chinese-style modernization. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Without the 5,000-year civilization of China, where would there be any China characteristics? If it is not the characteristics of China, how can we have such a successful Socialism with Chinese characteristics road today? " Chinese-style modernization endows Chinese civilization with modern strength, and Chinese civilization endows Chinese-style modernization with profound foundation. As a new form of human civilization, Chinese-style modernization is a modernization that grows from China, a product of Chinese civilization’s renewal rather than fracture, and the most grand and unique practical innovation in human history.To build a Chinese-style modern discourse system for external communication, we should consciously seek discourse resources from Chinese excellent traditional culture, profoundly grasp and expound the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, such as continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness and peace, and fully explain the significance of Chinese civilization genes in the times; We should also base ourselves on the practical innovation of contemporary China, explain China’s practice with China’s theory, sublimate China’s theory with China’s practice, and build a discourse system that adheres to cultural subjectivity and demonstrates cultural self-confidence in self-confidence.

  Insist on integrating Chinese and foreign countries and promote discourse innovation. Modernization is the only way for all countries to seek development and progress, and it is the basic direction of the evolution of human social civilization. Chinese-style modernization not only follows the general law of modernization development, but also has its own distinctive characteristics. The Chinese-style modernization discourse system we build should be both national and cosmopolitan, and realize the organic unity of generality and individuality, so as to better communicate with the world and let the world understand Chinese-style modernization. To this end, we should adopt new concepts, new categories and new expressions that integrate China and foreign countries, and combine what we want to say with what foreign audiences want to hear by showing a credible, lovely and respectable image of China, so as to fully and vividly show the panorama of Chinese modernization. Not only based on China’s standpoint and perspective, but also connected with the world’s cognition and emotion; It not only embodies China’s characteristics, China’s style and China’s style, but also follows the principle of closeness and closeness, so as to find out the common ground of China’s discourse with the outside world, so as to establish a historical and cultural connection between Chinese-style modern discourse and foreign audiences and be closer to their cultural customs, ways of thinking and language habits.

  Adhere to dialectical unity and promote discourse innovation. To better build a Chinese-style modern discourse system for external communication, we should adhere to dialectical unity, balance and coordinate the relationship between discourse content and discourse form, grand narrative and micro narrative, academic discourse and mass discourse, and do a good job in discourse coordination, discourse allocation and discourse integration. Insist that content is king, attach importance to the innovation of discourse content, take concepts, propositions and terms as the foundation and core of discourse content, and strive to carry out the production and construction of relevant discourse content; We should also pay attention to the innovation and diversified choice of discourse forms, and fully express the value concept, cultural connotation and world significance of Chinese modernization with appropriate discourse methods. It is necessary to adopt effective narrative methods to comprehensively, systematically, coherently and uniformly expound the China characteristics, essential requirements and major principles of Chinese modernization, so as to make Chinese modernization clearer, more scientific and more feasible, and then form a powerful international public opinion guiding force; We should also tell the daily life of contemporary ordinary Chinese through individual narration, and tell the most infectious and resonant story of China in the process of Chinese modernization. We should not only focus on creating academic discourses such as new concepts, new categories and new expressions, but also provide academic support for building a Chinese-style modern discourse system for external communication. We should also turn policy discourse and academic discourse into popular discourse, especially on the social media platform, and pay attention to making foreign audiences better feel and experience the Chinese modernization road, China’s modern image and Chinese’s modern life with relevant scenes.Attract foreign audiences with emotional feelings and emotional infection factors such as life sense, human touch and aesthetic taste, and let them recognize and agree with Chinese modernization in a subtle way.

  Tell the story of China and spread the voice of China.

  Accelerate the construction of Chinese-style modern narrative system

  Sun Ming

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized in the party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress: "Accelerate the construction of China discourse and China narrative system, tell the story of China well, spread the voice of China well, and show a credible, lovely and respectable image of China." At present, we are comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese modernization. The theoretical innovation and successful practice of Chinese-style modernization have continuously enhanced China’s soft power and influence on the international stage, bringing valuable opportunities for strengthening the image "self-shaping" of China and the Communist Party of China (CPC). Under the background of profound changes in the international situation, challenges in global governance and developing countries actively exploring the road of independent development, we should take the initiative to strengthen the international communication of Chinese modernization, fully display China’s great achievements in the fields of economy, politics, culture, society and ecological civilization, further transform the "otherness" of international understanding and understanding of Chinese modernization into "self-shaping" relying on China’s discourse and narrative, continuously enhance the influence of China’s discourse, and create a favorable international public opinion environment for Chinese modernization.

  Optimize and expand the content of discourse and build a modern narrative system. It is the core content of telling a good story about Chinese modernization to the outside world to explain clearly the China characteristics, essential requirements, major principles, scientific connotations, practical requirements and world significance of Chinese modernization, and to explain the ideological concepts and value pursuits contained therein. Discourse and narrative system are important tools for cultural communication. Discourse is the basis of narration, and the narrative system is supported by discourse system. We should act positively, innovate discourse and improve narrative, make great efforts to promote the innovation of Chinese modernization discourse and narrative, and build a discourse and narrative system that matches China’s comprehensive national strength and international status. First, adhere to the "two combinations". Chinese-style modernization is the way that the Communist Party of China (CPC) walked out in the process of combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture. To promote the international spread of Chinese-style modernization, we should stick to the soul pulse of Marxism and the root pulse of Chinese excellent traditional culture, take the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture and the achievements of Chinese modern civilization as the powerful support for the construction of discourse and narrative system, and take the theoretical consciousness of "two combinations" as the internal driving force of innovation, so as to continuously enhance the influence and appeal of Chinese-style modernization discourse and narrative. Second, grasp the historical logic. No matter from the history of the Communist Party of China (CPC) for more than a hundred years or from the history of world modernization, the promotion and expansion of Chinese modernization is of great historical significance.It is very important to clarify the exploration course, historical context and evolution law of Chinese-style modernization for the international communication of Chinese-style modernization. Historical narratives with a sense of depth often contain strong international communication potential. Grasping and introducing Chinese modernization from a macro-historical perspective will help foreign audiences to deeply understand the inevitability and scientificity of Chinese modernization. Third, closely follow the common values of all mankind. Chinese modernization pursues common development, which is highly consistent with the common values of all mankind and the development trend of human civilization. To build a narrative system of Chinese-style modernization, we should closely follow the common values of all mankind in narrative logic, and introduce the world contribution of Chinese-style modernization in the context of global poverty reduction, world economic development, ecological environment protection and coping with climate change, so as to promote the development concept and values contained in Chinese-style modernization to spread widely in the international community and arouse the resonance of foreign audiences. Adhere to openness, tolerance, exchange and mutual learning in expression logic, actively create new concepts, new concepts and new paradigms that integrate Chinese and foreign countries, and create conditions for Chinese-style modern narrative to go global.

  Reveal the connotation of value and solve the myth of modernization. Modernization is a worldwide historical process and the inevitable trend of the development of all countries. Due to the differences in social systems, national conditions and public opinions, development and social conditions, there are significant differences in the path choice of modernization. Historically, western countries took the lead in opening the process of modernization. Within the framework of western discourse system and logic, the western modernization model was shaped as the only choice leading to modernization, and the myth of "modernization = westernization" appeared. Chinese modernization transcends the logic of capital supremacy in western modernization, highlights the value concept of people-oriented and all-inclusive, and breaks this myth. To spread Chinese-style modernization well internationally, we should show the deep value of Chinese-style modernization through various concrete practices and achievements, so as to achieve the effect of introducing China’s wisdom and China’s ideas. On the one hand, it is clear that Chinese-style modernization is an important part of the modernization of human society, follows the general law of modernization development, has the common characteristics of modernization in all countries, and fully draws on and absorbs all outstanding achievements of human civilization. On the other hand, it profoundly explains the differences in values between Chinese and western modernization. It is clear that the starting point and the end result of Chinese-style modernization are to make the people of China live a better life. The practical subject, service object, fundamental purpose and endogenous motivation of Chinese-style modernization are all the people, and the essence of Chinese-style modernization is human modernization. Emphasize that Chinese modernization not only benefits the people of China, but also promotes the common development of the world.It will bring opportunities to the world and show the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom contained in it. By telling the great achievements of Chinese modernization, we will show all countries new choices, new paths and new models for modernization. Let the world, especially the developing countries, realize the diversity of modernization development paths, and only by taking their own modernization path independently can we succeed. In addition, it should be made clear that Chinese modernization absorbs the essence of different civilizations with an open and inclusive mind, promotes exchanges and mutual learning between eastern and western civilizations, and promotes the development and progress of human civilization together with other countries in the world. This inclusive value concept is an important foundation of the international communication of Chinese modernization, which is conducive to fundamentally dispelling the wrong arguments such as "China threat theory".

  Respond to concerns and show the modern image of the world. Where will Chinese modernization go and what will it bring to the world? This is what the international community especially wants to understand. Promoting the construction of a community of human destiny is one of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization and a plan for Chinese modernization to promote the construction of a better world. The promotion of building a community of human destiny on a global scale has laid the foundation for the international spread of Chinese modernization and built consensus. We should take promoting the construction of a community of human destiny as an important part of constructing a Chinese-style modern narrative system, actively respond to the concerns and focuses of the international community, fully demonstrate China’s feelings of the world in discourse expression, and demonstrate the responsibility of Chinese-style modernization in stressing the common destiny of all countries and promoting the common development of mankind. Facing the changes of the world, times and history, China put forward the global development initiative, global security initiative and global civilization initiative in order to better promote the building of a community of human destiny. We can integrate the three global initiatives into the construction of the discourse and narrative system of Chinese modernization, so that the outside world can clearly understand China’s concept of development, security and civilization from the perspective of concrete global public goods, show the image of modernization with the future and destiny of all mankind, and create a good international public opinion environment for Chinese modernization.

Entry into Bali from March 7 can be done with a visa on arrival without isolation.

  China Overseas Chinese Network March 8th According to Indonesia’s "International Daily" report, from March 7th, 2022, international tourists from many countries will enter Indonesia through the airport gates and ports in Bali, no longer need to be quarantined, and will be allowed to apply for a visa on arrival (VOA). The government has also cancelled the requirement for a guarantor to apply for an electronic visa for travel. However, the government still requires visiting international tourists to purchase health insurance covering COVID-19 according to applicable regulations.

  Shan Diaca, Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, announced in Jakarta on March 7th that after the co-ordination meeting of all relevant departments and units, all parties agreed to test the above-mentioned measures for allowing international tourists to apply for visa on arrival and entry without quarantine in Bali in advance. The list of foreign citizens who are allowed to enter the country according to the regulations is as follows: Australia, the United States, New Zealand, Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Qatar, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Italy, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Italy.

  Iwawan Koser, governor of Bali, said that the decision was made at the coordination meeting held on March 4th, attended by the ministers of maritime affairs and investment coordination, health, creative economy and tourism, transportation, justice and human rights, foreign affairs, chairman of COVID-19 and the national disaster relief working group, coordinator of the COVID-19 working group, governor of Bali, commander of the ninth military region in Na, Udaja, police chief of Bali and tourism entrepreneurs.

  On March 4th, Gosul said that after listening to the opinions and support of the participants on the experiment of implementing the new policy for foreign tourists, the segregation policy was cancelled, allowing international tourists to apply for visas on arrival, but they still had to abide by the health agreement. These conditions include the obligation to complete vaccination and booster before departure, negative PCR swab test, and having proof of payment to book a trip to Bali Hotel for at least 4 days. If the PCR test result is negative, tourists are allowed to go to all tourist destinations, but if COVID-19 is positive, they must be quarantined in the hotel. Especially for positive cases and elderly tourists, hospitalization will be arranged immediately and PCR swab test will be conducted on the third day. If the result is negative, you are allowed to travel in Bali.

  Gosul emphasized that, according to the instructions of the minister, Bali is committed to accelerating the vaccination of intensified vaccines and striving to achieve the minimum target of 30% by March 7, 2022. Government ministries and commissions have made full preparations for the implementation of non-isolation measures and visas on arrival in Bali. (Liang Jian)

At least 149 people were killed in heavy rain in western India.

  According to Indian media reports, on July 25th, local time, the government of Maharashtra in western India said that at least 149 people were killed, 50 injured and some people were missing.

  The Maharashtra government also said that nearly 230,000 people in the disaster area have been transferred to safe areas. At present, many rescue teams from India’s National Disaster Emergency Response Force, Maharashtra Disaster Emergency Response Force, Navy, Army and Coast Guard are still carrying out rescue.

  June to September is the monsoon rainy season in India every year, and landslides, mudslides and floods often occur, causing people’s lives and property losses.

  Since July this year, the rainfall in Maharashtra has been the highest in the same month in 40 years, which is 45% higher than the usual rainfall in July. (Headquarters reporter Gao Zhan)

Adam Curtis talks about power, politics and his new film.

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.
