ASEAN countries are located at the intersection of land and sea in the Belt and Road Initiative, and are key areas for high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. In the past 10 years since the Belt and Road Initiative was put forward, from economic and trade exchanges to cultural exchanges, China-ASEAN Expo’s circle of friends has become larger and larger, and its outward attraction has become stronger and stronger.

　　The 20th China-ASEAN Expo came to an end not long ago, but the vision of China and ASEAN countries meeting challenges together and building a closer China-ASEAN destiny community is inspiring people to move forward.

　　"This year, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader proposed to build a closer China-ASEAN destiny community and jointly build ‘ Belt and Road ’ The 10th anniversary of the initiative is also the 20th anniversary of the founding of China-ASEAN Expo and China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit (hereinafter referred to as "China-ASEAN Expo" and "Summit" respectively). China — Wei Zhaohui, Secretary-General of the ASEAN Expo Secretariat, said that since China-ASEAN Expo and the Summit were held for 20 years, the bilateral trade volume between China and ASEAN has grown at an average annual rate of more than 13%, which has promoted the two sides to become each other’s largest trading partners and the most active partners in mutual investment, and helped to build a new pattern of China-ASEAN opening up at a higher level.

　　According to Xu Ningning, executive director of the China-ASEAN Business Council, ASEAN countries are located in the land-sea intersection of the "Belt and Road" and are key areas for building the "Belt and Road" with high quality. In the 10 years since the "Belt and Road Initiative" was put forward, China-ASEAN Expo has closely followed China — The needs of the times of ASEAN cooperation, constantly expand the functions of the platform, and promote the implementation of China — A series of consensus documents, joint statements and action plans reached by ASEAN have deepened China’s trade, investment, interconnection and regional cooperation with ASEAN countries, which is also the way to China-ASEAN Expo’s enduring success.

　　Inter-regional complementary resources promote active investment and trade.

　　The theme of the 20th China-ASEAN Expo is "Building a Home with Harmony, Destiny and Common Future — — Push ‘ Belt and Road ’ High-quality development and building an economic growth center. " At the meeting, many exhibitors expressed that they felt the dividends brought by the complementary market resources and factor flow between China and ASEAN. Zhu Qiugen, from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, talks about tea at the exhibition during the day and packs tea for customers from all over the world in the hotel at night.

　　This year is his second time in China-ASEAN Expo, and he found that many tea lovers used to look at the price but now at the quality. "More and more customers have found me for the fragrance of tea, and people who understand the good products have found it. This change is more gratifying than how much tea I have sold."

　　Zhu Qiugen deals in ancient tea from Laos. The local tea garden employs local people to pick fresh tea and process it into "wool", and then it is transported to Xishuangbanna via China-Laos Railway for further processing to make a series of products such as tea cakes and tea bricks. Zhu Qiugen also founded the brand of "Laos Ancient Rhyme Tea Industry".

　　In recent years, thanks to the convenience of transportation and policies, Zhu Qiugen went deep into the country of origin and built a relatively complete industrial chain from picking, research and development, production and sales. "Let customers drink a cup of ancient tree tea that really comes from the mountains, without middlemen." In this way, the quality and cost have been well controlled.

　　The tea consumption market in China is huge, and the demand for high-quality tea has become a trend. Zhu Qiugen thinks that tea is a gentle lifestyle and a product that pursues quality of life. However, the domestic resources for picking ancient tree tea are limited, and some merchants have false propaganda and shoddy to some extent, which makes many consumers hesitate to buy.

　　In 2015, Zhu Qiugen just arrived in Laos, and he was doing hotel business at that time, but soon the local ancient tree tea fragrance caught his attention. In Laos, the unique and closed natural environment creates the good quality of Laos ancient tree tea, but these teas are mostly sold as agricultural products. "Laos has raw materials, and China has a market, so the connection naturally arises." Zhu Qiugen said.

　　With the opening of China-Laos Railway, Zhu Qiugen’s tea business has more convenient transportation conditions. If the tea is to be sold to Nanning market, Zhu Qiugen will choose to go by sea through Vietnam, which is "more cost-effective".

　　Guangxi is the only land-sea connecting region between China and ASEAN. The coastal, border and riverside areas of China-ASEAN Industrial Cooperation Zone are the frontier and window of Guangxi’s opening to the outside world. Relying on the existing parks in Nanning, Beihai, Fangchenggang, Qinzhou, Yulin, Baise and Chongzuo, Guangxi has integrated the construction of China-ASEAN Industrial Cooperation Zone, creating a development pattern of "one city, one area, one park". At present, many areas in the cooperation zone have achieved seamless traffic connection with ASEAN countries. For example, Chongzuo area is 180 kilometers away from Hanoi and Nanning, the capital of Vietnam, and there are four national first-class ports around it, which is the most convenient land international passage from China to Indo-China Peninsula.

　　"In July this year, Liuzhou Economic and Trade Delegation and 32 key enterprises went to Southeast Asia to carry out economic and trade exchange activities." Yao Fang, deputy director of the Management Committee of Liuzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, said that the well-known domestic new energy automobile brands with factories in Liuzhou have actively gone abroad, and now they have sales markets in 72 countries and regions around the world.

　　The vigorous market demand drives the pace of transportation infrastructure construction. Sima Zhe, senior economist of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and head of the ecosystem of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, said that in 2021, the AIIB provided 300 million US dollars to support the improvement project of border connectivity in Chongzuo, Guangxi, which improved the efficiency of cross-border connectivity around Shuolong Port and strengthened the economic and trade activities between China and Viet Nam.

　　In terms of commodity trading, the exchanges between Guangxi and ASEAN have become increasingly close. Guangxi is rich in commodity resources, with the output of white sugar, wood and raw silk ranking first in the country, and the output of alumina, pigs, pulp, Chinese herbal medicines and non-ferrous metals ranking first in the country. At the same time, Guangxi is also an important import port for ASEAN-specific commodities such as wood, non-ferrous metals, oil and gas, coal and fruits.

　　Li Kaizhou, deputy director of the local financial supervision bureau of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said that in recent years, Guangxi has seized green opportunities, deepened cooperation with ASEAN, built a pilot free trade zone with high quality, and actively created a convenient place for domestic and international dual-cycle markets. The construction of new land and sea channels in the west has been accelerating. From January to July this year, Guangxi’s import and export to ASEAN was 188.08 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 71.6%.

　　Adhere to joint business and win-win sharing.

　　Wei Zhaohui, Secretary-General of China-ASEAN Expo Secretariat, said that since the China-ASEAN Expo and China-ASEAN Investment Summit were held 20 years ago, 196 Chinese and foreign leaders, more than 4,100 ministerial-level VIPs and heads of international organizations attended, which was accompanied by friendly relations between China and ASEAN and grew together with the construction of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area.

　　"China-ASEAN Expo has been successfully held for 20 years in a row, thanks to the unique exhibition mode. This is the successful password for China-ASEAN Expo to do something new and better." Wei Zhaohui introduced.

　　Adhere to business cooperation and win-win sharing, adhere to the principle of not making profits for ASEAN countries, respect ASEAN’s opinions on major issues, and give priority to meeting ASEAN’s needs in terms of booth arrangement. In this China-ASEAN Expo, the scale and proportion of ASEAN exhibitions remain the largest in China International Exhibition, and seven countries including Indonesia, Malaysia and Viet Nam have resumed their pavilions and restored ASEAN’s "Charming City" exhibition area.

　　Wei Zhaohui introduced that in all aspects of exhibition preparation, we should respect the ASEAN way, take care of ASEAN wishes, and always adhere to the value concept of "10+1>11". The ministers of economy and trade of China and 10 ASEAN governments and the ASEAN Secretary-General will serve as co-directors of the organizing committee, the directors of departments in charge of various countries will serve as deputy secretaries-general, and the directors will serve as liaison officers. Major issues will be discussed by the organizing committee meetings and senior officials meetings.

　　"International Friendship City Entering Dongbo" is also a highlight of the exhibition in recent years. According to the data of Foreign Affairs Office of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, at present, Guangxi has concluded 128 pairs of international sister cities with 39 countries, ranking fourth in the country. During this visit to China-ASEAN Expo, more than 30 sister cities from nearly 20 countries participated in the exhibition with their own special products.

　　"Before, our market was mainly concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. I never thought that the products could radiate to the inland of China and even ASEAN countries." Hong Yongwang, representing Zaragoza, Spain, said that Zaragoza and Yulin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region are international sister cities. Entrusted by the Zaragoza municipal government, Hong Yongwang brought more than 160 products including red wine, ham and olive oil to the site in China-ASEAN Expo.

　　Last year, the double-deck sinking square of Nahong Interchange Station of Nanning Metro, designed and built jointly by Nanning and Crema, Italy — — Friendship City Metro Plaza was officially completed, becoming the first subway station space in China that was fully decorated and designed by International Friendship City. At this year’s China-ASEAN Expo, exhibitor Zhang Xiaowei brought a painting entitled "Table Culture" to the scene to explain the Italian wine culture to the audience, and the author of this painting, Marilisa Leon, is the designer of the subway station space. Stephania Bonaldi, mayor of Crema, Italy, commented: "The design of the square is closely related to the theme of the Silk Road, which has brought the cultural ties between China and Italy closer and the two countries and peoples closer."

　　Institutional opening stimulates new kinetic energy of cooperation

　　From economic and trade exchanges to cultural exchanges, China-ASEAN Expo’s circle of friends is getting bigger and bigger, and its outward attraction is getting stronger and stronger. In the process of cooperation between China and ASEAN countries, many institutional and mechanistic modes of cooperation and dialogue have gradually taken shape.

　　During this year’s China-ASEAN Expo, a side event on the theme of "Institutional Opening: A New Pattern of Regional Economic Development" was held for the first time, and the "ASEAN National Standardization Cooperation and Exchange Center" was officially unveiled. The ASEAN cross-border e-commerce digital intelligence service platform and the e-commerce exchange center of the digital economy industrial park were announced to be open.

　　According to customs statistics, from January to August this year, the total import and export value of China to countries that jointly built the Belt and Road Initiative reached 12.62 trillion yuan, up 3.6% year-on-year, of which food trade reached 553.82 billion yuan, up 10.4% compared with the same period of last year and 162% compared with the same period of 2013. On the eve of the opening of China-ASEAN Expo, the Nanning Declaration on Customs Food Safety Cooperation on the Belt and Road was issued, and all parties signed the articles of association of the cooperation mechanism.

　　The perfection of the mechanism and articles of association aims at more convenient, long-term and stable factor flow. It is the consensus of many enterprises that "there is vitality when there is mobility, and there is market when there is mobility".

　　Last year, Guangxi Xinzhong Industrial Investment Co., Ltd. cooperated with the secretariat of China-ASEAN Expo to build a China-ASEAN special commodity gathering center. He Yan, the company’s deputy general manager, hopes that after participating in China-ASEAN Expo, economic and trade activities will continue for a long time through 17 offline pavilions and online platforms, and continuous economic and trade exchanges will take place with ASEAN countries in 365 days.

　　The international situation is complex and changeable, but the potential of the ASEAN market is constantly being released. "The number of ASEAN regional offices has grown particularly fast, exceeding our growth rate in China." Through this detail, Bo Yu, managing partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., found that the ASEAN market is being regarded as a growth point in the future, both in China and the world.

　　Bo Yu further analyzed that people value the population and future growth of ASEAN, and the population structure is relatively young. He believed that Guangxi should make good use of the role of "bridgehead".

　　As an Indonesian enterprise, Jinguang Group has been rooted in China for more than 30 years. Zhai Jingli, vice president of Jinguang Paper (China) Investment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jinguang Group, believes that enterprises can make use of the cumulative rule of regional origin of RCEP and the advantage of the shortest and most convenient industrial supporting distance between Guangxi and ASEAN to expand the ASEAN market and play a good "ASEAN brand".

　　At present, some ASEAN countries have many environmental problems, such as soil degradation, water shortage and air pollution, which have affected local agricultural production and tourism and damaged local economic development to some extent. With the increasing demand for environmental protection in ASEAN countries, China’s environmental protection industry has gradually entered the ASEAN market. Hong Tao, director and professor of business economics research at Beijing Technology and Business University, pointed out in the China-ASEAN Forum on Innovation and Development of Commodity Trading that the effective implementation of RCEP has provided new impetus and cooperation foundation for promoting green recovery of regional economy, low-carbon development and global economic recovery, and reduced the cost of environmental protection industry in China.

　　In the past 20 years, the cooperation between China and ASEAN in the field of energy and electricity has been equally fruitful. By the end of August this year, China Southern Power Grid had been connected with the power grids of ASEAN countries through more than 10 circuits of 110 kV and above, achieving a total cross-border two-way power trade of nearly 70 billion kWh, of which clean energy accounted for over 90%. Hu Tianxiang of China-ASEAN Expo and china huadian Guangxi Company introduced that china huadian has invested in 9 projects under construction in ASEAN, with an installed capacity of 4.66 million kilowatts. In Cambodia, china huadian is the largest foreign power generation operator in Cambodia with an installed capacity of 1.038 million kilowatts under construction.

　　RCEP has entered a new stage of full entry into force and implementation, constantly releasing the strategic potential of economy and trade. Zhou Shi, a researcher and deputy director of the Research Office of the Market and Price Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, believes that the import and export of Hunan and ASEAN countries in China increased by more than 70% in the year when RCEP was implemented, and the import and export of Guangxi to ASEAN countries also increased by 71.6% from January to July this year.

　　In the face of the current complicated and changeable international situation, many exhibitors realized that China and ASEAN are opportunities for mutual development and have great potential for cooperation. China was the first big country to sign and join the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia. In 2021, China and ASEAN upgraded their bilateral relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership.

　　Jiangsu Furen Group’s booth area in the 20th China-ASEAN Expo was not large, but the personnel in charge of market, operation and technology all came to the scene in order to better understand the ASEAN market and enterprises. In 2014, Jiangsu Furen Group held Jiangsu Xuzhou Forging Machine Group Co., Ltd., and two years later, it successfully acquired German EBU Forming Technology Co., Ltd. "This also marks that China Press has begun to rank among the world’s advanced manufacturing." Li Wei, deputy general manager of Xuforging Group, said that due to the rapid development of Thailand’s automobile industry in recent years, many internationally renowned automobile companies have invested and built factories in Thailand, and the export of intelligent forging equipment of Xuforging Group to Thailand has also increased by 20%-30%.

　　"The ASEAN market is becoming a new strategic growth point, especially in terms of labor structure, operating costs and market potential. The implementation of RCEP has also provided us with a stable and efficient supply chain network." Li Wei is full of expectations for the development of enterprises in the ASEAN market and the prospect of international cooperation. "We will also continue to enhance the technological breakthrough capability of intelligent manufacturing and better go abroad."

Recently, a doctor in Rizhao City, Shandong Province was arrested for allegedly broadcasting gynecological surgery clips online, which aroused social concern and boarded a hot search. On the evening of 18th, WeChat official account, WeChat of Donggang Branch of Rizhao Public Security Bureau issued a briefing: At about 16: 00 on January 18th, 2022, Donggang Branch of Rizhao Public Security Bureau received a report from the masses that a doctor was suspected of broadcasting a video of gynecological surgery online, so it immediately investigated the relevant personnel of the hospital involved and arrested Li Mou, the doctor involved, at about 18: 00.

In response, bilibili said: After internal verification, the studio was repeatedly warned and cut off during the live broadcast on January 15th, and then it was permanently banned. At present, we have reported to the public security organs and will actively cooperate with the police to carry out investigation and evidence collection.

Coincidentally, on January 17th, some netizens revealed that some users uploaded surveillance videos in bilibili that were suspected to be obtained after cracking cameras in public places.

Judging from the live screen shots, these live images should come from surveillance cameras in public places such as schools and hospitals. Netizens suspect that there are gangs specializing in cracking surveillance videos in schools, hospitals and other public places, which are used for live broadcast to attract traffic and attract users to pay for it.

In view of this situation, bilibili official Weibo issued a handling notice on January 17th: "Today, we received a report from a user that someone suspected of using illegal means to crack the camera and upload a video surveillance screen to bilibili. We organized the investigation for the first time and removed the relevant content. "

Bilibili said that this kind of behavior is a serious violation of personal privacy, which is illegal. Once found, it will be dealt with seriously according to law. If users find such content, please contact online customer service immediately.

In this regard, netizens questioned the effectiveness of bilibili’s audit mechanism. Why do users need to find problems and bilibili will deal with them? A live broadcast of a problem like a doctor’s live broadcast of gynecological surgery, when discovered by users, has actually caused privacy leakage and spread of problems. Is it necessary for bilibili to do this kind of thing all the time?

Upstream Xiaobian consulted bilibili customer service about the standards and principles of live audit, but did not receive a response.

In this regard, some people in the industry said that because the live content belongs to real-time streaming media, the platform can’t review the "content that hasn’t happened". Therefore, before the broadcast of the anchor, the anchor is generally required to sign a live broadcast specification agreement. "In fact, it is the responsibility to move forward and tell the anchor what content is illegal and can’t be broadcast, and the punishment that will be faced after the live broadcast is illegal. As long as the anchor broadcasts, it means recognition and consent." The source said that at present, the live broadcast industry adopts this method, so whether the live broadcast content is illegal or not can basically only rely on the anchor’s consciousness. What the platform can do is only to conduct audit and supervision during the live broadcast.

The above-mentioned person further introduced that at present, the audit in live broadcast mainly adopts the combination of AI audit and manual audit.

AI audit is to take screenshots of live pictures at regular intervals, and then intelligently identify the pictures. "AI audit can’t accurately understand the live content, and the recognition accuracy of illegal pictures will be different according to the AI ? ? engine used." The source said that the higher the recognition rate and the faster the recognition speed, the higher the AI deployment cost, which puts higher demands on the funds of the live broadcast platform, and it is difficult for some small platforms to bear high technical costs.

The upstream Xiaobian search "AI Audit" found that many companies in China have developed related software and platforms. Some of these platforms clearly stated in the introduction to the live AI audit that "screenshots are supported".

"To accurately identify whether the live content is illegal, manual review is the most reliable." The above-mentioned people said that bilibili had always been famous for its strict auditing, because it was rumored in the industry that bilibili was fully audited manually. "But the biggest drawback of manual auditing is its slow speed." He explained that the mainstream live broadcast platform has thousands of live broadcast rooms at the same time, but it is impossible for the platform to be equipped with so many auditors. Therefore, when the manual audit finds problems, the illegal live broadcast content may have been broadcast for some time. "This is why bilibili encourages users to report, which is equivalent to asking users to be free auditors." The person said.

[Global Network Technology Comprehensive Report] On the evening of August 8, Alibaba Group officially announced the brand-new membership plan of "88VIP" at the "88 Member Annual Stars Festival" in Guangzhou, redefining the traditional membership system.

According to reports, "88VIP" is a "all-in-one card" integrating Ali’s new retail ecology and multi-membership status, covering almost all the core services of Alibaba, and also providing a series of compound rights and interests in conjunction with 88 domestic and foreign brands among the 150,000 brands on Tmall. These exclusive discounts run through the whole year, even in double 11, and "88VIP" can be discounted and then discounted.

Users who have spent money on Ali retail platforms such as Taobao and Tmall in the past year will automatically become 88 members, and each member will correspond to different naughty values. If you are a naughty svip with a value of over 1000, you can only use 88 yuan to get this "88VIP" that non-members have to spend 888 yuan to buy. After preliminary calculation, the value of "88VIP" running through Ali’s ecological rights and interests is nearly 2000 yuan.

After becoming "88VIP", not only can you enjoy the annual "credit" of double 11 discount, but also the high-quality goods from Tmall Supermarket, Tmall International Direct Marketing and 88 brands around the world are all 15% off for the whole year; You can also enjoy annual exclusive discounts on imported milk, imported rice and other necessities; What’s even more surprising is that "88VIP" enjoys the exclusive status of "Eat, Drink and Play in One Train" under Ali, and is automatically upgraded to annual card members including Youku, Hungry, Shrimp and Taobao Film. In this way, according to the average user’s consumption level, becoming "88VIP" can save nearly 2000 yuan a year.

Take a bottle of Newsland fresh milk from 49 yuan as an example. "88VIP" can enjoy 72-hour direct fresh milk from New Zealand Ranch for only 19.9 yuan.

Roughly calculate, suppose a white-collar worker with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan spends 888 yuan to become an "88VIP", and according to the average user consumption level, he can save 1,596 yuan, which is equivalent to getting 708 yuan for nothing. If it happens to be 88 svip, he only needs 88 yuan to get the "88VIP" status, which is equivalent to getting 1,508 yuan for nothing. Suppose a student party with limited pocket money can save its card fee in one month after spending 88 yuan as an "88VIP", and the following 11 months are pure "bonus hunter".

"Naughty value" is still the cornerstone of Alibaba’s membership system and the basis for the classification of Ali members. Naughty value of 1000 is a demarcation point. Those below 1000 are called 88 members, and those above 1000 are 88 svip. Besides enjoying the special price of "88VIP", they have distinguished privileges in daily shopping, payment and entertainment.

Ali’s new retail ecosystem is continuing to add more value and services to its members. Different consumption and life scenes face the same crowd. They not only order take-away food on the top every day, shop in Taobao Tmall, but also listen to shrimp on the way to and from work and watch the World Cup in Youku. They live in the ecology of Ali’s new retail every day. Compared with the traditional membership mechanism focusing on a certain field, "88VIP" has created a brand-new membership system based on Ali Ecology.

Those senior "hands-on parties" who are naughty and worth more than a thousand dollars have increased their sense of identity and belonging to the Ali ecological platform through the opening of the membership system. They are no longer entangled in the opening, renewal and maintenance of individual membership rights. As long as they have an "88VIP" card, those scenes that are frequently used in daily life can communicate with each other, which not only saves worry and money, but also makes the experience smoother.

This highly integrated Alibaba ecosystem is bringing great value to enterprises and promoting them to better carry out brand operation, user management, channel expansion and product development. For a wide range of merchants active in Ali’s new retail platform, the upgrading and opening of membership systems of different platforms can make them more deeply bound with consumers, not only further opening up online and offline, but also greatly expanding the original membership system.

When middle-aged people choose a car, they will care about whether a model is mature enough, its appearance should be atmospheric enough, its interior should be exquisite enough, and it should be comfortable enough to drive, whether it is for business or home. If you don’t consider the cost of using the car later when you buy a car, you will regret it afterwards. For example, today’s performance in this respect is worth talking about. Let’s look down with Xiaobian.

First of all, from the appearance, the front face of Roewe RX9 looks very simple and looks sharp. Combined with fashionable and simple headlights, the visual effect coincides with the positioning of the whole vehicle. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, front fog lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, delayed closing and so on. Come to the side of the car, the car body size is 4983MM*1967MM*1786MM, the car uses simple lines, the car side gives a very simple feeling, with large-sized thick-walled tires, it looks full of movement. In the rear part, the overall shape of the rear echoes the front of the car, and the taillight style is more fashionable. Together with the unique exhaust pipe, it creates a good gas field.

Sitting in the car, Roewe RX9 interior looks more dynamic and the visual effect is very good. The car looks very good outside the steering wheel, equipped with the functions of manual steering wheel up and down+front and rear adjustment, etc., and feels good. Take a look at the central control, and with the 12.3-inch touch-sensitive LCD central control screen, the interior design is quite layered, and the details are still in place. Finally, let’s look at the dashboard and seats. The dashboard design is remarkable, and the trendy design elements make people remember it at a glance.

March is the traditional off-season of China’s mainland film market. Major domestic film companies will not release head films during this period, and the market space left is often filled by imported blockbusters. The same is true this year. There will be many Hollywood blockbusters such as Godzilla vs. king kong 2: The Rise of the Empire and Dune 2 released by Kung fu panda 4 this month.

Last year, the performance of Hollywood blockbusters in China mainland film market was bleak. No matter the top IP such as Mission Impossible 7, Galaxy Guard 3 or Transformers 7 and Fast and Furious 10, the box office performance was far below expectations. None of them could make it into the top 10 of the annual box office list, and none even earned 1 billion yuan.

Looking at the films that have been scheduled at present, there are one or two new Chinese and foreign films with certain attention almost every weekend, which enriches the market supply of weekend files and meets the audience’s normal viewing needs. I look forward to the off-season in March this year, and China movies are booming.

Originality makes business more valuable.

Audi A7 has always been the title of "the most beautiful Audi" and "the most beautiful coupe" in the world, but the domestic version of A7L has been controversial since its birth. As the mainstay of SAIC Audi’s sales, the big price reduction in recent months has finally helped the company recover its dignity.

Watching Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series lower their prices, Audi’s high-end cars can’t sit still.

"480,000 Audi A7L, no aura! The 380,000 Audi A7L is impeccable! " In November, 2023, Feng Li from Guangdong bought a Darth Vader version of SAIC Audi A7L 45TFSI quattro S-Line with an official guide price of 478,700 yuan at a landing price of less than 430,000 yuan.

The price of bare car was reduced by 100,000 yuan, including the purchase tax and insurance, and the landing price of the full amount was around 420,000 yuan. As a car enthusiast, Feng Li told the "city circle" that he wouldn’t have paid attention to this car at all if the price had not been cut so hard.

Although Audi A7L has always been the title of "the most beautiful Audi" and "the most beautiful coupe" in the world, and the imported goods are not cheap, it is a dream car for many people, but Audi A7L, as a domestic version of Audi A7, has been controversial.

As long as the price is in place, disputes are trivial.

Unlike Audi A6L, A4L, A3/A3L, Q5L/Q5LSportback and Q3/Q3 Sportback, which are very dazzling star models in China market, Audi A7L does not belong to the camp of FAW Audi (established in 1991), but is the first model launched by SAIC Audi (established in 2021).

At present, SAIC Audi only sells three models of Audi A7L, Q6 and Q5 e-tron. Among them, Q6 and Q5 e-tron are both "special offerings" in China market, and only A7L is a global model made in China, but there are always doubts about styling changes and production support.

The manufacturer of Audi A7L is SAIC Volkswagen, which cancelled the slip-back shape and tail wing when it was localized. Some insiders have analyzed that the original Audi A7 is a niche model, with many people like it and few people buy it. Therefore, when carrying out localization transformation, SAIC Audi designed A7L into a sedan version of the executive car to expand the audience, but it also directly made this car lose its "aura".

An Audi A6 allroad owner said that this is equivalent to cutting off A7′ s biggest selling point. "Originally, A7 took the sports route. Many people just bought it for its beautiful shape and personality. This really changed the soul of A7."

Lengthening the wheelbase is a routine action made in China, but the iconic sliding back shape and lifting tail are cancelled, and it is forcibly changed into a sedan that caters to the market demand of China. This change has made many people say that it is unacceptable, and imported Audi owners are especially "contemptuous".

In addition, some car enthusiasts think that A7L is too close to the calmness of the domestic A6L in the adjustment of daily driving feeling, which is quite different from the original A7L’s brisk sports style.

Based on the above, A7L has been ridiculed by many netizens as "Audi A6.5L", "Audi A6L" and "Audi A6L Plus".

In January 2022, Audi A7L went public for the first time, and the market response was very cold. In 2022, the annual sales volume was only 3,801 vehicles, with an average monthly sales of 316 vehicles. On September 1, 2023, the 2024 Audi A7L was officially launched, with a small change, and the configuration and price were fine-tuned. The price range was 418,700 ~ 699,700 yuan.

According to Sina Auto data, from August to November 2023, the monthly sales of Audi A7L were 1,037, 1,437, 1,645 and 1,806 respectively. In the same period, the average monthly sales of BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E Class of the same level exceeded 10,000.

Soon by the end of 2023, major car companies started a price war, showing their reserve prices one after another. At the beginning of the year and in the middle of the year, it almost became the norm for all brands to encounter "backstab", and even the owners of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi were not spared. Some imported models with high prices have also experienced large price fluctuations.

It seems that whoever doesn’t reduce the price will be eliminated by the market. Although SAIC Audi has set itself an annual sales target of 50,000 vehicles, it is not high, but it is also very urgent with only three cards in hand.

Recently, the "City Circle" visited a number of SAIC Audi stores in Beijing. Sales staff said that since October 2023, A7L has increased its price reduction efforts, and all models started with a discount of 100,000 yuan, an increase of about 40,000 yuan compared with the middle of the year.

For high-end cars with a price of nearly 400,000 yuan, this new discount seems to be few, but because many consumers are used to comparing it with A6L owned by FAW Audi, it suddenly highlights the cost performance of A7L.

"Many customers refer to A6L. In October, A7L’s entry model, 45TFSI S-Line Dreaming Crystal Edition, had a preferential landing price of about 360,000 yuan. The A6L 45TFSI, which is also a two-wheel drive and 2.0T high-power engine, was selected as elegant. The landing price in the same period was basically 370,000 ~ 380,000 yuan, and the overall configuration was slightly lower than that of A7L. " Sales theory.

However, due to too little attention paid to Audi A7L before, the news of price reduction has lagged behind. From October to November, 2023, the monthly sales volume only increased slightly, and it broke out in December. It is reported that when the price reduction is the largest in December, it can be cheaper by 120,000 ~ 130,000 yuan to buy A7L through loans.

SAIC Audi officially announced that A7L sold 6,281 vehicles in December 2023. According to the data of Easy Car App, the total sales volume of the car in these four weeks has reached 4,801 from January 1 to 28, 2024.

It seems that as long as the price is in place, no matter how controversial the car is, it can’t escape the law of true fragrance.

An interesting episode is that "City Boundary" found on platforms such as Knowing Car Emperor and Xiaohongshu that due to the low popularity of SAIC Audi and the few offline stores, many intentional consumers mistakenly entered FAW Audi’s online live broadcast room and offline 4S shop to consult the price of A7L.

Who is buying Audi A7L?

In Feng Li’s view, compared with the original imported A7L sold in China market, the domestic A7L has a lower value, but its power specifications are very affordable.

For example, Audi’s proud quattro four-wheel drive system will only appear on the imported version of A7 with 3.0T At present, the price of bare car in the market is about 660,000 yuan. In addition to the entry-level models, the Audi A7L is equipped with a quattro four-wheel drive system, whether it is a 45TFSI model with a 2.0T engine or a 55TFSI model with a 3.0T engine.

"Personally, I think that the quattro is the real Audi, but fortunately A7L is not as stingy as the imported version." Feng Li said.

Therefore, when the news of price reduction came, many consumers who had "disdained" A7L went to see the car "honestly".

"City Boundary" found on social platforms such as Xiaohongshu that A7L owners who posted posts are generally young people, most of whom are around 30 years old, and many of them are returned students in their twenties.

Zhao Pu, the owner who bought the A7L Darth Vader version, is one of them. According to him, in the third quarter of 2023, manufacturers launched preferential activities for duty-free cars for international students across the country.

Liu Shan, a returned student from Jiangsu, also said that the Audi A7L she bought in December 2023 was 100,000 yuan cheaper. After tax exemption and agency fees, the final landing price was in the early 390,000 yuan. Liu Shan chose the "Summer Special Edition" model with optional package, and also picked his favorite body color. "If it is a regular model, the price can be lower."

In February, 2024, a duty-free car agency increased the preferential treatment for international students, saying that after the A7L of 3.0T was offered a maximum discount of 130,000 yuan, the company would also enjoy free purchase tax, and also send a fuel card of 1,500 yuan or an equivalent shopping card.

However, the 2.0T version of A7L on the market has a discounted landing price of around 400,000, and there are too many optional models at this price, such as Audi A6L, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series. Moreover, when these cars had the greatest preferential treatment in 2023, there were about 100 thousand, and tax exemption policies were also introduced. Comparatively speaking, the Audi A7L is too small, why do young people love to buy it?

Zhao Pu said that apart from the tax exemption policy, he chose A7L more because "this car is rare on the road".

Minority means uniqueness, which conforms to the aesthetic taste of young people "the more special the better, the better the personality". According to the "city boundary" observation, many car owners who choose A7L have jumped over from BMW 4 Series, Audi A5, Audi A4 Avant, Aouita 12 and other niche models.

Although the A7L’s cancellation of the slip-back shape and tail wing is full of controversy, the design of the sedan operated by German designers is not completely unrecognized. "As long as we don’t compare with the imported A7, we only compare the sedan medium and large cars of the same level on the market, and the value of A7L has few rivals." A consumer who is considering starting said.

In the eyES of some young people, mainstream models such as Audi A6L, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series and lexus es are "either too commercial or old-fashioned", and they don’t care much about the relationship between A7L and A7. Plus, there are discounts now. After comparison, they chose A7L with little struggle.

SAIC Audi needs to work harder.

About "how to please young people" is the homework of many car companies at present, and SAIC Audi has also paid a lot of tuition fees for it.

Audi A7L has launched the first version, the first version, the Darth Vader version, the White Mage version, the Wind Knight version, the Paladin version, and many other special models. SAIC Audi wants to rely on these distinctive models to achieve a balance between sales and profits through scarcity. Unfortunately, this strategy was not successful at first.

Although SAIC Audi claims that its owners are aged 25-35, the sales volume of less than 1,000 vehicles per month from January 2022 to March 2023 shows that young people who are really willing to spend tens of thousands more than A6L, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class before the big price reduction are really rare.

On the other hand, another BMW 4 Series, which takes the niche route, is similar in price to A7L, and once sold at a higher price, but people sell better than Audi A7L. In 2023, the monthly sales volume of BMW 4 Series will basically remain above 1,500 vehicles.

Young people are not "stupid people with more money". If you want to impress them, either the products are excellent enough or the prices are sincere enough, they will always be the same.

This round of price reduction, Audi A7L’s approach is wise and helpless. This helplessness began when SAIC Audi turned A7 "magic change" into A7L that was ridiculed by the group.

The birth of A7L is directly related to Audi’s strategic changes in the China market in recent ten years.

Before the establishment of SAIC Audi, Audi had only one joint venture car company in China, namely FAW Audi, which was established in 1991. For more than 30 years, FAW Audi has achieved enough success in China market.

In 2023, FAW-Volkswagen sold more than 1.91 million vehicles, of which Audi brand contributed 36.5% of the sales.

Watching old rivals Mercedes-Benz and BMW make money in China market, German Audi is unbalanced, trying to seize more market share and introduce more models. The simplest way it can think of is to set up another joint venture company to seek higher profits.

In 2016, SAIC and Audi signed a cooperation agreement. As expected, the cooperation was collectively opposed by FAW Audi dealers. It was not until April 2021 that SAIC Audi was formally established, and the first model A7L was released in the same year.

However, since its establishment, SAIC Audi has not had many comfortable days. Because there are too few original models that Audi can directly localize, and the main models in the product matrix have been basically taken away by FAW Audi in recent years, only a few niche and high-end cars such as A5, A7 and Q7 are left to be developed.

Audi, on the other hand, wants to maintain its brand image by importing high-end cars and performance cars, but also wants to make a domestic model that can be accepted by more China consumers, and it can’t affect the imported version, so it can only move out the old routines of "lengthening" and "sedan".

A little different from the previous localization, A7L’s "sedan" may be a helpless choice made on the basis of "lengthening".

After the original A7 is lengthened, a cross beam needs to be added to enhance the strength of the rear part. If you continue to slip the back shape, the cost will increase greatly. Manufacturers who haven’t made any money are of course more inclined to make a sedan.

In fact, apart from the modeling and slightly complicated life experience, A7L itself doesn’t have many slots. The body size, mechanical specifications and design style are basically in line with the global positioning of A7 slightly higher than A6.

Taking the American market as an example, the starting price of the standard wheelbase version of the sedan A6 is 57,300 US dollars (about 412,000 yuan), while the starting price of the A7 is 71,200 US dollars (about 512,000 yuan). The price difference between the two models is just about 100,000 RMB.

In Germany, the starting price of the standard wheelbase sedan A6 is 53,800 euros (about 418,000 yuan), and the starting price of A7 is 63,500 euros (about 493,000 yuan), and the difference is about 75,000 yuan.

Therefore, when A7L was cheaper than A6L, it did attract some consumers who paid attention to cost performance. "Whoever loves to spray it will be finished with incense." In the eyes of some car owners, "the more you spray, the cheaper I buy."

Some people say that the price reduction of A7L has brought SAIC Audi back to life, but after the price is changed, the high-end positioning of A7L may be shaken. However, in the face of the growing volume of China automobile market, SAIC-Audi is very open-minded, and sales volume is king.

The demand for China’s "gutter oil" is increasing in the United States, Europe and Singapore, mainly for the development of biofuels. However, the global demand for biofuels is huge, and even if all the waste edible oil in China is utilized, it cannot be fully met.

According to the customs data of China, in 2023, China exported more than 2 million tons of waste edible oil, accounting for more than half of the total domestic production, a record high. Since last year, China has become the world’s largest exporter of waste edible oil. From January to July this year, China has exported 1.58 million tons of waste edible oil, an increase from 1.02 million tons in the same period last year. According to a report released by the General Administration of Customs of China, in July, China exported 176,800 tons of waste edible oil, and the main importing countries included the United States, Singapore and Indonesia.

Waste edible oil imported from these countries is mainly used to produce biofuels. Whether it is ester-based biodiesel, hydrocarbon-based biodiesel or sustainable aviation fuel, waste edible oil is a key raw material. Biofuels are favored by countries because of their renewability and environmental friendliness. Waste oils and fats will produce greenhouse gases in the process of natural consumption, but if recycled, it will not only produce economic value but also reduce carbon emissions. For example, the carbon emission reduction effect of ester-based biodiesel is about 60% to 70%, while that of hydrocarbon-based biodiesel can reach about 80%.

The International Air Transport Association requires the aviation industry to achieve zero net carbon emissions by 2050, and stipulates that aircraft should be powered by 100% sustainable aviation fuel, hydrogen or batteries. China’s waste edible oil is exported not only directly, but also in the form of refined biodiesel. In 2023, China’s biodiesel exports to the EU reached an all-time high of 1.8 million tons, of which the Netherlands was the largest importer, followed by Belgium and Spain.

　　◆ "In 30, 50 or 100 years, what will be the most important topic when future generations write the history of our time?" According to Timothy Taylor, an economist at Macalester College in the United States, it is not the budget deficit, taxes and medical insurance in the United States, nor the euro crisis in the European Union, nor even the globalization that has been written in great detail, but: "The history of our time may be determined by the amazing rise of China."

　　◆ Let 2018 be a wonderful first year to open the "road to a strong country" in China’s new era

　　2018: The China era spurted out.

　　"Standing on the vast land of more than 9.6 million square kilometers, sucking the cultural nutrients accumulated by the long struggle of the Chinese nation for more than 5,000 years, with the majestic power of more than 1.3 billion people in China, we take the Socialism with Chinese characteristics road and have an incomparably broad stage of the times, with an incomparably profound historical heritage and an incomparably strong determination to advance."

　　Looking back on the past 2017, as far as the world is concerned, it was a year of great turmoil, great diversion and great change. For China, the most accurate description of this year is undoubtedly the wonderful outline of the great powers of the East made by this passage at the end of the report of the 19th National Congress.

　　The reason why there is such a sharp contrast is that in 2017, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was called "a major event to change the global situation" by the Financial Times, "it will affect the future direction of regional and world politics and economy" by Lianhe Zaobao, "it is of great significance to the CPC, China and the world" by The New York Times, USA, and described by the BBC as "standing in front of the world map".

　　The world’s largest ruling party congress, which was called the "world congress" by the western media for the first time in the history of world political parties, put forward a complete and practical "rejuvenation strategy" for the China people’s journey into a modern and powerful country in Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, provided powerful kinetic energy for world development, laid a solid foundation for global stability, and contributed China’s wisdom to the road choice for mankind to enter a new stage of historical development.

　　In particular, the 19th National Congress put forward Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, and NHK said, "Without it, China cannot become stronger"; The election of a new central collective leadership with the Supreme Leader as the core, Washington post said, will definitely "make China and the whole world better" in the next few years.

　　On December 10, 2016, Timothy Taylor, an economist at Macalester College and editor-in-chief of Economic Outlook magazine, asked in an article entitled "The Rise of China: The Wealth of a Country", "What will be the most important topic when future generations write the history of our time in 30, 50 or 100 years?" In his view, it is not the budget deficit, taxes and medical insurance in the United States, nor the euro crisis in the European Union, nor even the globalization of books, but: "The history of our time may be determined by the amazing rise of China."

　　Throughout the history of the whole world, only China civilization has been in constant flux for thousands of years. However, as early as the 18th century, some western enlightenment thinkers expressed contempt for this sense of pride, and gave their "explanation" for the historical continuity of China civilization: the ancient civilization of China could exist for a long time, but only because it had not been attacked by a strong civilization or nation.

　　Now, when we open the report of the 19th National Congress, full of firm confidence in the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s modernization and powerful country in the new era, and go into 2018, we will once again deeply realize that it is China that is so different that the world will open up new imagination and inspire new hopes.

　　"Do more China" in 2018

　　The Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of 2017 marked 2018 with three attributes: the first year of implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up, and the decisive year of building a well-off society in an all-round way and implementing the 13th Five-Year Plan. This means that China, approaching the center of the world stage, will continue its "highlight moment".

　　"Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s economic development has made historic achievements and undergone historic changes, which has provided important material conditions for reform and development in other fields." The Central Economic Work Conference systematically summarized the great changes in China’s economic development in the past five years from six aspects:

　　First, the economic strength has reached a new level, with an average annual growth rate of 7.1%, which has become the main power source and stabilizer for world economic growth;

　　Second, there have been major changes in the economic structure, promoting structural reforms on the supply side and promoting the balance between supply and demand;

　　Third, the economic system reform has continued to advance, and the economy has become more dynamic and resilient;

　　Fourth, deepening the opening up to the outside world, advocating and promoting the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" and actively guiding economic globalization in the right direction;

　　Fifth, the people’s sense of gain and happiness has been significantly enhanced, decisive progress has been made in the fight against poverty, and the degree of equalization of basic public services has been continuously improved, forming the most populous middle-income group in the world;

　　Sixth, the ecological environment has obviously improved. The determination, strength and effectiveness of promoting ecological civilization construction are unprecedented, and the prevention and control actions of air, water and soil pollution have achieved remarkable results.

　　Almost at the same time, many international research institutions gave positive comments on China’s economic achievements. On December 19th, 2017, the World Bank released the latest China Economic Bulletin, which raised the estimated economic growth rate of China from 6.7% to 6.8% in 2017. Earlier, the United Nations released the World Economic Situation and Prospects in 2018, which predicted that the global economy would grow at the fastest rate since 2011 in 2017, and China’s contribution rate to global economic growth was about one-third.

　　Li Weiqiao, chief economist of the World Bank in China, commented that China’s economy has maintained growth resilience and the momentum of reform has increased. Therefore, in 2017, China achieved success on many fronts, especially the accelerated growth of residents’ income and consumption, which promoted economic rebalancing. Mirisha, a senior economist at the bank, believes that favorable economic conditions provide a good opportunity for China to further reduce macroeconomic risks and deepen reforms in 2018, and strive to achieve higher quality, more efficient, fairer and more sustainable development.

　　China’s foreign trade, the first to feel the "spring tide" in the new era, has handed over a refreshing report card. On December 28, 2017, Gao Feng, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce, said that in the first 11 months of 2017, China’s foreign trade import and export volume reached 25.14 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.6%. In dollar terms, it was $3,703.2 billion, a year-on-year increase of 12%. At this rate, if there are no special circumstances, it is estimated that China’s foreign trade import and export volume will once again exceed 4 trillion US dollars in 2017.

　　Foreign trade has an obvious pulling effect on national economic growth. According to Gao Feng’s specific analysis, in recent years, we have resolutely promoted the supply-side structural reform in the field of foreign trade, and the labor efficiency, capital efficiency, resource and environmental efficiency of foreign trade enterprises have been effectively improved, and the variety, quality and grade of products are developing in the direction of high-end, intelligent. Generally speaking, China’s foreign trade import and export is shifting from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage, and the development potential is gradually being released.

　　From the external environment, all parties are generally optimistic about the global economic growth in 2018. According to the forecast of the International Monetary Fund, the world economy is expected to grow by 3.7% in 2018, which is 0.1 percentage point faster than the expected world economic growth rate in 2017. The growth rate of international trade in goods and services will reach 4.0%, which is higher than the average growth rate of 3.4% from 2013 to 2017 in the last five years and exceeds the growth rate of the world economy.

　　On the basis of five years’ historical achievements and changes, Ren Zeping, chief economist of Evergrande Group, gave an impressive prediction and analysis of the future when interviewed by the reporter of Outlook News Weekly. "In the long process from 2010 to 2015, we can see that the market has been cleared spontaneously, and then the supply-side structural reform from 2016 to 2017 is superimposed, and the progress of capacity transformation and transformation is beyond the market imagination.

　　He judged that from 2016 to 2018, after three consecutive years of L-shaped bottom, China’s economy will gradually change market expectations. "With the start of a new round of production cycle, the superposition of a new round of inventory cycle and the impact of real estate regulation on the economy coming to an end, China’s economy may break through the L-shape in 2019. This means that all short positions in the economy will definitely increase in the second half of 2018. "

　　In fact, the Central Economic Work Conference has given a major directional judgment. "Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and China’s economic development has also entered a new era. The basic feature is that China’s economy has shifted from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage." This strongly indicates that a new wave of development in China is surging in the depths of the skyline.

　　On the Eve of the Big Bang of the Information Revolution

　　"From the macro-economic operation data, we can only see one side of China’s economy, just like an electrocardiogram of the elderly, which fluctuates lower and lower until it finally becomes a parallel line. But when you open the industrial structure behind this parallel line and look at the growth curve, you will find the heart of a young man, with a surge of emotion and a strong pulse. "

　　In the interview, Liu Yuhui, director of China Economic Evaluation Center of China Academy of Social Sciences, pointed to the sharply differentiated economic data curve on PPT and told the reporter of Outlook News Weekly, "China’s economy is now a divided picture, half of which is seawater and half is flame."

　　From the perspective of industrial growth, emerging industries such as electronic products, computers and communication products are all growing at a high speed of about 15%, while traditional industries such as steel, cement, heavy chemicals and mining are at a low speed of about 3% or even negative growth. In terms of consumption, online consumption in China has increased by 35%, while offline consumption has only increased by 5% ~ 6%. So, together, it is a 10% parallel line. If you don’t look at the structure, you can’t see any changes.

　　In Liu Yuhui’s eyes, in the past five years, as the decision-makers vigorously advocated the innovation-driven development strategy, fully promoted the supply-side structural reform, and focused on promoting "three to one, one reduction and one supplement", the "young side" of China’s economy has become increasingly youthful. "The creation of new economy, new technology, new format and the iteration of new business are full of vitality and prosperity."

　　In 2017, Goldman Sachs, an American investment bank, believed that with China’s economy entering a new era and the rapid development of technologies such as AI, intelligent logistics and electric vehicles, the future lifestyle of China people may be reshaped, which may also have a significant impact on the investment direction of the global capital market.

　　For this reason, Goldman Sachs has selected 50 stocks from 18 emerging industries in China, of which 49% are technology, 21% are consumption upgrading, and finance only accounts for 7%, which is called "New Beautiful 50 Index". The results of the data are somewhat surprising. These companies representing the "new China" have long left behind the high point of the stock market bubble in 2015 and performed extremely strongly.

　　Encouraged by this, Goldman Sachs made another study, dividing China’s new economy into four parts: emerging industries, Internet, consumption upgrading and health industries. The results show that the growth rate of the Internet is over 30%, and the emerging industries, health industries and consumption upgrading sectors are all growing at a rate of over 20%. This implies that today’s China is on the eve of the full penetration and deep application of the information technology revolution, and a large number of new industries, new formats, new technologies and new models are condensing the all-round new kinetic energy of a new round of innovation and development in China.

　　Liu Yuhui believes that in the past five years, China’s "largest and most strategic infrastructure investment" is to effectively connect more than 1.3 billion people with a huge information network, people-to-people connection, people-to-things connection, and things-to-things connection … … Everything connected has turned China into a vast ocean of data.

　　"Traditional industries rely on land and capital, and economic transformation and new business creation rely on data, which is a big difference between emerging economies and traditional economies." In Liu Yuhui’s view, the increasingly active innovation wave of China’s information technology revolution is bringing more and more capital and talents into China’s "data ocean". This great change has quietly enhanced the resilience of China’s economy and changed the structure of China’s economy, and this process is still accelerating.

　　At present, the competition pattern of the global economy G2 has basically become a historical freeze. Others will be pursuers. Why? Liu Yuhui said that it is precisely because of the technological revolution that the future will be the digital economy of the Internet, so the global economic competition pattern is fixed in China and the United States, two Internet economic powers. "At present, the trend of competition between Chinese and American science and technology giants has been formed, and the US ‘ GAFA’ — — Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, China ‘ BATX’ — — Baidu, Ali, Tencent and Xiaomi. "

　　These science and technology giants have infiltrated into dozens of different new industries, and have already surpassed the concepts such as the Internet platform, forming a super "business ecosystem" that can be extended almost indefinitely without boundaries, from location-based local services, digital medical care, driverless, intelligent transportation, to Internet finance, new retail, new entertainment, intelligent hardware, and chip research and development & HELIP; … They break the boundary between network and reality and are active in various scenes online and offline; They cross the boundary between software and hardware, and provide consumers with services in the whole life process from birth to death.

　　Liu Yuhui told this reporter that the Internet revolution is shaping the resilience of China’s economy, and China’s national movement has a solid micro-foundation. "The information revolution and Internet economy are the outlets of China’s strategic opportunities. What is currently being staged in China is to prepare for China to reach the top of the world in 2035 and revive its national glory in 2049."

　　Modernization shaping of Millennium civilization

　　In the history of human development, strategic opportunities are fair to every country and people. With the world’s development prospects still foggy and chaotic, the biggest difference in 2018 is the fate of one person, one family, one enterprise, one country and one nation for hundreds of millions of people in China and the main body of market economy, all because of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which has a clear course of a new journey of becoming a powerful country in Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era for more than 30 years.

　　"Whether it is revolution or construction, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has always been the actual goal and the greatest motivation of our party." Pan Wei, director of the Center for China and World Studies in Peking University, told the reporter of Outlook Newsweek that at present, China is at the historical intersection of the goals of "two hundred years". How to build a well-off society in an all-round way, realize the goal of the first century, and how to take advantage of the situation to start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and March toward the goal of the second century? The CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the core gathers the wisdom of the whole party and the people of the whole country and serve the people of China at the party’s 19th National Congress.

　　The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China comprehensively analyzed the international and domestic situation and China’s development conditions, put forward clear requirements for building a well-off society in an all-round way, and divided the realization of the goal of the second century into two stages. From 2020 to 2035, on the basis of building a well-off society in an all-round way, we will struggle for another 15 years to basically realize socialist modernization; Strive for another 15 years on the basis of basically realizing modernization, and build China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power by the middle of this century.

　　This is the strategic arrangement of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s new development in the new era, which not only makes the road map and timetable for realizing the goal of "two hundred years" clearer, but also means that the original goal of basically realizing modernization in China will be completed 15 years ahead of schedule, and the goal of the second century will be enriched and upgraded to build China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power.

　　In Pan Wei’s view, China’s "modernization" has always been "the people are rich and the country is strong", "but China’s modernization is not the modernization of capitalism, but the modernization of socialism, not the modernization of a few people, but the modernization of the broad masses of the people, the modernization of the whole Chinese nation and the modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC)."

　　It is precisely because of this "rejuvenation strategy" to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation that the future of China and the destiny of the people of China are spreading a broad and bright picture of "Yuyu clarifying Wan Li’s Egypt".

　　China’s economy is looking forward to a new starting point in 2018. In the interview, Zhong Wei, a professor at the Financial Research Center of Beijing Normal University, made an analysis and judgment on the development of China in three points:

　　2020: Reach a new historical height of human industrialization and urbanization.

　　From now until 2020, China is in the critical period of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and it is also in the rising period of the world economy pointed out by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader at the APEC meeting in Da Nang, Vietnam.

　　It is expected that in the next three years, China’s economic growth rate will stabilize at the growth platform of 6% ~ 7%. In 2020, China’s GDP will be about 15 trillion US dollars, and the per capita GDP will reach the average level of the world. The global proportion of China’s population and GDP will be about 18%.

　　This is not only the time when China’s well-off society is built in an all-round way, but also means that the rapid development of China’s economy will double the population enjoying industrial civilization and urban civilization in the past 500 years, and then China will be close to the entry threshold of OECD countries.

　　2035: Return to the country at the center of the stage.

　　2035 is the key node of the goal of the second century. So what is the significance of 2035? First of all, the goal of 2035 put forward by the 19th National Congress advanced the goal of basically realizing modernization by the middle of the next century put forward by Comrade Deng Xiaoping in the early stage of reform and opening up by 15 years. At the same time, China’s GDP in 2035 is about 30 trillion US dollars, which is equal to or slightly larger than that of the United States. The global proportion of China’s GDP is about 25%, and the world ranking of per capita GDP will be within 50, which is roughly equivalent to the current ranking of Central and Eastern European countries.

　　From 2035 to 2050, the global proportion of China’s GDP is in the normal range of 25% ~ 40%. This is the level of China’s economic capacity in the world economic system from Qin and Han Dynasties to 1840. China has the ability to lead East Asia to become an important region on a par with North America and Europe.

　　Since World War II, only the former Soviet Union and Japan have approached 70% of the GDP of the United States, and the gap between them and the United States has gradually widened since then. The year 2035 may be the key point for China to approach the United States in all directions, even to the same level, in terms of economic scale and competitiveness since World War II.

　　2050: A Great Revived Civilization Power.

　　China will gradually get rid of the "three-phase superposition", from "how to see" China’s economy through the new normal, to the long-term strategy of "how to reform" China’s economy through supply-side structural reform, and then to the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s modernization and strengthening the country in the new era, and China’s economy will grow from high speed to high quality.

　　By 2050, China’s GDP will be about 60 trillion US dollars. This means that the global share of China’s GDP will exceed one third. From World War II to 1960s, the GDP of the United States accounted for about 40% of the global GDP.

　　Zhong Wei said, "It can be said that with the realization of the Chinese dream, China will realize the great national rejuvenation in 2050. At that time, the difference between China and the United States was that the United States was a century-old power and China was a Millennium civilization. "

　　Ideological guide to the journey of strengthening the country in the new era

　　Since the new century, the world has never been in great development, great change and great adjustment. The pattern of international power and global competition are evolving with each passing day, showing a fierce collision like a land-sea structure.

　　That is, capitalist civilization is fading, the focus of global development is shifting from the west to the east, and southern countries are beginning to expand from political awakening to economic awakening, development awakening and even institutional awakening and ideological awakening.

　　Every major leap forward of human society and every major development of human civilization cannot be separated from the knowledge change and ideological guidance of philosophy and social sciences. After the 18th National Congress, China’s all-round achievements and historic changes have proved this truth. It has been noted that the Central Economic Work Conference put forward Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era at the 19th National Congress, and put forward Socialism with Chinese characteristics Economic Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era with the new development concept as the main content for the first time:

　　Insist on strengthening the party’s centralized and unified leadership over economic work to ensure that China’s economy develops in the right direction;

　　Adhere to the people-centered development thought, which runs through the overall layout of "five in one" and the coordinated promotion of "four comprehensive" strategic layout;

　　Adhere to the adaptation and grasp the new normal of leading economic development, base on the overall situation and grasp the law;

　　Insist on making the market play a decisive role in resource allocation, give better play to the role of the government, and resolutely remove institutional and institutional obstacles to economic development;

　　Insist on adapting to the main contradictions and changes in China’s economic development, improve macro-control, make a choice according to circumstances, prescribe a correct prescription, and take promoting supply-side structural reform as the main line of economic work;

　　Adhering to the problem-oriented deployment of the new strategy of economic development has a far-reaching impact on China’s economic and social development and reform;

　　Adhere to the correct work strategies and methods, strive for progress steadily, maintain strategic strength, adhere to the bottom line thinking, and move forward step by step.

　　Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic thought in the new era, the supreme leader with seven persistences as the core, is the theoretical crystallization of promoting China’s economic development practice in the past five years, the latest achievement of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s political economy, and the ideological guide for the Communist Party of China (CPC) to shoulder the historical responsibility for the fate of the people in China and the future of human development, and the ideological weapon for driving whales to overcome risks and difficulties.

　　In an interview with the reporter of Outlook Newsweek, Tian Yingkui, a professor of economics at the Party School of the CPC Central Committee, interpreted it as "the core idea of economic governance modernization in 2049". In his view, towards 2049, the modernization of China’s economic governance faces three major issues: First, how to continuously improve the quality and efficiency of national economic development; Second, how to continuously improve the fairness and sharing level of national income distribution; The third is how to continuously improve the fairness and efficiency of the national economic system.

　　On this basis, we should accomplish three strategic tasks:

　　In the sense of production level and total supply, we should solve the problems of total quantity, structure, quality and benefit in economic development with high quality and high efficiency;

　　In the sense of distribution and demand determination, we should solve the problems of wages, profits, taxes and social security in national distribution with high quality and high efficiency;

　　At the institutional level and in the sense of rules of conduct, we should solve the problems of fairness, efficiency, rule of law and science in the economic system with high quality and high efficiency.

　　Tian Yingkui believes that all these can be found in the economic thought of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, the supreme leader in the new era with seven persistences as the core, to solve the problem and to overcome the difficulties. Among them, he believes that there are two most important points: First, insist on strengthening the party’s centralized and unified leadership over economic work. The second is to adhere to the people-centered development thinking.

　　This is because Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, which means that the higher the starting point, the greater the difficulty and the more arduous the task. It also means that there are more and more new situations and problems, more and more contradictions and difficulties, more and more risks and challenges, and more and more resistance and pressure. At the same time, the instability and uncertainty facing the world are outstanding, especially the development and growth of China will inevitably have a major impact on the existing international structure. Some countries do not want to see the development and growth of socialist China, and do everything possible to prevent, obstruct and contain it.

　　How to conform to the trend of the times of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, and catch up in the process of knowing change, adapting to change and seeking change? How to better coordinate the domestic and international situations, win advantages, win initiative and win the future in the fierce international competition? How to expand the right to speak and make rules in participating in global governance, firmly defend China’s sovereignty, security and development interests, safeguard world peace and promote common development? It can be seen that the happiness of the people and the rejuvenation of the nation cannot be separated from the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core for a moment, and it cannot be opened without the guidance of the most powerful political party in the world.

　　In Tian Yingkui’s view, adhering to the people-centered development thought is the fundamental political purpose of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s market economy. Its core idea and thought is that all economic construction and development, all economic governance and reform should take the people as the center and the interests of the people as the foundation; Take people’s satisfaction and dissatisfaction, promise and disapproval, support and disapproval as the development criteria.

　　Specifically, it is to combine "socialism" with "market economy", develop modern market economy under socialist conditions, develop socialism in the construction of modern market economy, adhere to the combination of economic marketism and economic socialism, establish and improve Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s market economy system, and realize a higher degree of fairness and efficiency, and the organic combination of government and market. This is a great innovation of China people, Chinese nation and the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the understanding of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s economic construction thought, and also a great historic leap in the history of world socialist economic practice.

　　At the end of the interview, Pan Wei pointed out a detail to the reporter of Lookout Newsweek. The report of the 19th National Congress made it clear at the beginning that the theme of this conference was "Do not forget your initiative mind, remember the mission", and the end of this report was "A trip to the Avenue, the world is public".

　　The phrase "A trip to the Avenue, the world is for the public" comes from the Book of Rites, followed by the words "Choose the virtuous and able, uphold faith and cultivate friendship, so the old friend is not only close to his relatives, but also has no only son and son, so that he can get old, be strong and useful, and all those who are proud, widowed, lonely and disabled can be supported. Men have points, women have returns. Goods, if you abandon them to the ground, don’t hide them in yourself; Force, evil is not out of the body, not for yourself. Therefore, it is said that it is great harmony to seek closure without prosperity, to steal thieves without doing anything, and therefore to go outside without closing. "

　　The ideology, humanistic spirit and moral norms of this excellent Chinese traditional culture have continued to this day, and will certainly inject new connotations and create new glories in the new era. In Pan Wei’s view, from 2018, these will become more and more concrete with development. (Published in the first issue of Outlook in 2018/Wang Jianjun, reporter of Outlook News Weekly)
