Director of the National Bureau of Statistics answered a reporter’s question on the national economic operation in 2023.

(January 17, 2024)

 

 

  On January 17th, the State Council Press Office held a press conference. Kang Yi, director of the National Bureau of Statistics, and Wang Guanhua, spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics, introduced the national economic operation in 2023 and answered questions from reporters. The transcript of the press conference is as follows:

 

  Shou Xiaoli, deputy director and spokesperson of the State Council Information Office.

 

  Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the press conference of the State Council Information Office. Today, we released economic data routinely. We invited Mr. Kang Yi, director of the National Bureau of Statistics, and Ms. Wang Guanhua, spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics, to introduce the national economy in 2023 and answer your concerns.

 

  Next, let’s first invite Mr. Kang Yi to make an introduction.

 

  Kang Yi, Director of National Bureau of Statistics.

 

  Thank you, host. Good morning, media friends. First of all, let me introduce the national economy in 2023.

 

  In 2023, the national economy rebounded and high-quality development was solidly promoted. In 2023, in the face of the complicated and severe international environment and arduous and arduous tasks of domestic reform, development and stability, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, all localities and departments conscientiously implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, adhered to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, comprehensively implemented the new development concept, accelerated the construction of a new development pattern, comprehensively deepened reform and opening up, and intensified macro-control. Efforts were made to expand domestic demand, optimize the structure, boost confidence and prevent risks. China’s economy rebounded, supply demand improved steadily, transformation and upgrading were actively promoted, employment prices were generally stable, people’s livelihood security was strong and effective, and high-quality development was solidly promoted. The main expected goals were successfully achieved. (For details of the national economy in 2023, please refer to the link https.://www.stats.gov.cn/sj/zxfb/202401/t20240117_1946624.html)

 

  Next, I will give you a briefing on the improvement of the unemployment rate survey by age groups in cities and towns.

 

  The National Bureau of Statistics attaches great importance to the improvement of the labor force survey system, organizes relevant departments and experts to conduct in-depth discussions, study international standards and experiences and practices of various countries, and conducts on-the-spot investigations to carefully sort out the statistical methods and caliber of studying the unemployment rate. In order to reflect the employment and unemployment situation of youth more accurately and completely, from the point of view of fully considering the national conditions, the unemployment rate statistics of age groups have been adjusted in two aspects. One is to publish the unemployment rate of the labor force aged 16-24, which does not include students at school; The second is to increase the unemployment rate of the 25-29-year-old labor force excluding students at school. There are two main considerations:

 

  On the one hand, it is to monitor youth employment and unemployment more accurately. In 2023, on average, among the urban population aged 16-24 in China, students accounted for more than 60%, nearly 62 million; Non-school students account for more than 30%, about 34 million people. According to China’s national conditions, the main task of school students is to study, not to work part-time. If school students are included in the age group, young people who are looking for part-time jobs at school and those who are looking for jobs after graduation will be mixed together, which cannot accurately reflect the employment and unemployment situation of young people who really need to work in society. Calculating the unemployment rate of different age groups excluding students in school is conducive to more accurately reflecting the employment and unemployment situation of young people entering the society, giving them more accurate employment services and formulating more effective and targeted employment policies.

 

  On the other hand, it is to reflect the whole picture of employment and unemployment of young people in the process of graduation from school to stable work. The number of years of education of young people in China has been increasing. At present, the gross enrollment rate of higher education in China is nearly 60%. Most young people just graduated at the age of 24 and are still in the period of choosing jobs. Some of them are unemployed or unstable. By the age of 29, most of them have passed the period of choosing jobs, and the employment situation tends to be stable. All walks of life are very concerned about the employment situation of young people when they just leave school, and they are also very concerned about their employment situation for a period of time after graduation. Therefore, our bureau increased the calculation and released the unemployment rate of the 25-29-year-old labor force.

 

  Regarding the release method, in the future, our bureau will release the unemployment rate of the labor force aged 16-24, 25-29 and 30-59 excluding students in the data release database of the National Bureau of Statistics on a monthly basis. You can query the data in the data release database.

 

  I’ll stop here and answer your questions.

 

  Beijing Youth Daily reporter

 

  I want to ask about the general situation. In 2023, faced with multiple challenges such as weak world economic recovery, frequent domestic natural disasters and arduous tasks of reform, development and stability, what is the overall performance of China’s economic operation? From last year’s point of view, have our main objectives and tasks been better achieved throughout the year? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. In the previous introduction, the annual performance of China’s economy was introduced in detail. On the whole, our main expected goals have been successfully achieved. It can be said that a transcript with good color and sufficient weight was handed over. For the economic performance of the past year, it can be summarized as a rebound, full of color, bright performance, and it is not easy.

 

  First, the recovery is good. From the perspective of economic growth, China’s GDP exceeded 126 trillion yuan in 2023, and the growth rate was 2.2 percentage points faster than that in 2022. Quarterly, it shows a trend of low, high and stable, and the positive trend is further consolidated. According to the comparable price calculation, the economic growth in 2023 will exceed 6 trillion yuan, which is equivalent to the total economic output of a medium-sized country in one year. The per capita GDP increased steadily, reaching 89,358 yuan in 2023, an increase of 5.4% over the previous year. From the perspective of employment, the employment situation has generally improved. The average unemployment rate in urban surveys has dropped by 0.4 percentage points over the previous year, especially for migrant workers. From the perspective of prices, prices generally maintained a moderate increase, with the annual CPI rising by 0.2% and the core CPI rising by 0.7%. From the perspective of international payments, the export of goods increased by 0.6% in the whole year, and the foreign exchange reserves at the end of the year exceeded 3.2 trillion US dollars.

 

  Second, the color is full. Last year, we coordinated the effective improvement of quality and the reasonable growth of quantity. The whole country closely focused on the primary task of high-quality development, and promoted the economy to continuously win advantages in structural adjustment and transformation and upgrading, so that high-quality development was more complete. The innovation-driven development strategy was implemented in depth, and the investment in innovation increased steadily. According to preliminary calculation, in 2023, the investment in research and experimental development of the whole society reached 3,327.82 billion yuan, and the intensity of R&D investment reached 2.64%, up by 0.08 percentage point over the previous year. In this year, some major scientific and technological innovations were reported frequently, especially the high-end, intelligent and green development of manufacturing industry was solidly promoted. With the optimization and upgrading of economic structure, the role of service industry and consumption as the main engines of economic growth has become more prominent. In 2023, the added value of service industry accounted for 54.6% of GDP, an increase of 1.2 percentage points over the previous year; The contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth reached 82.5%, an increase of 43.1 percentage points over the previous year. The foundation for safe development was further consolidated, and the annual grain output increased by 1.3% over the previous year; The output of raw coal, crude oil and natural gas in industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 2.9%, 2% and 5.8% respectively. We have kept the bottom line of no systemic risks, ensured economic and financial security, and ensured more effective people’s livelihood. The per capita disposable income of the national residents actually increased by 6.1% over the previous year.

 

  Third, the performance is bright. To observe the economic performance of China, we should not only compare it vertically with ourselves, but also compare it horizontally with other countries. In 2023, China’s economic growth rate of 5.2% is not only higher than the estimated global growth rate of about 3%, but also among the best in the world’s major economies. The contribution rate of China’s economy to world economic growth in 2023 is expected to exceed 30%, which is the biggest engine of world economic growth. At the same time, China’s exports have also achieved a small increase, and its share in the global market has remained stable. Another point is that the overall price increase is moderate, which is in sharp contrast with the high global inflation and the difficult balance between anti-inflation and steady growth in some countries.

 

  Fourth, it is not easy. It’s hard to know what’s going on until it’s gone through. In 2023, the world economy is in a downturn, the international pattern is complicated and evolving, geopolitical conflicts are frequent, and the complexity, severity and uncertainty of the external environment are rising. There are many periodic and structural contradictions in China, and natural disasters occur frequently. In this complicated situation, it is even more commendable to achieve such development achievements. These achievements are the result of the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the scientific guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era of the Supreme Leader, and the unremitting efforts of the people of the whole country. The achievements deserve full recognition and need to be cherished.

 

  Looking forward to 2024, we should also see that the current external environment is still complicated and severe, with insufficient domestic effective demand, overcapacity in some industries, weak social expectations and many hidden risks. To promote China’s economic recovery, we must overcome some difficulties and challenges. We should effectively deal with these difficulties and solve these problems in accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the Central Economic Work Conference, and constantly promote China’s economic stability and prosperity. Thank you.

 

  Global Times reporter

 

  I would like to ask the publisher to introduce the contribution rate and pulling point of the three major demands to economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the whole year. Are there any new changes? In addition, I would like to know what the development trend of domestic and international double circulation pattern was in the past year. Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. You are concerned about two aspects, one is the three major demand situations, and the other is the two-cycle situation. First of all, answer your first question, the contribution and pull of the three major needs. In 2023, final consumption expenditure, total capital formation and net exports of goods and services will drive economic growth by 4.3, 1.5 and -0.6 percentage points respectively, and their contribution rates to economic growth will be 82.5%, 28.9% and -11.4% respectively. In the fourth quarter, final consumption expenditure, total capital formation and net exports of goods and services boosted economic growth by 4.2, 1.2 and -0.2 percentage points respectively, and their contribution rates to economic growth were 80%, 23.1% and -3.1% respectively.

 

  The second question is the progress of domestic and international double circulation. It should be said that new progress has been made in building a new development pattern in 2023, which has three characteristics:

 

  First, the main role of the domestic macro-cycle is increasing. Based on the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand and releasing the market potential of strong domestic demand, the driving role of domestic circulation in economic development is obviously enhanced. In 2023, China’s total retail sales of consumer goods reached 47.1 trillion yuan, the scale of fixed assets investment reached 50.3 trillion yuan, and the contribution rate of domestic demand to economic growth reached 111.4%, an increase of 25.3 percentage points over the previous year. We are making great efforts to build a unified national market, get through the blocking points of the domestic big cycle, and smooth all links of production, distribution, circulation and consumption. The flow of factors tends to be active, and the connection between production and sales is gradually improving. In the fourth quarter, the utilization rate of industrial capacity was 75.9%, up 0.2 percentage points year-on-year; The product sales rate of industrial enterprises above designated size has remained stable at the level of over 97%. The annual commercial freight volume increased by 8.2% year-on-year, and the commercial passenger traffic increased by 66.5%.

 

  Second, the quality and level of international circulation have been further improved. Faced with the adverse effects of shrinking external demand, China has made efforts to promote the stable scale and excellent structure of foreign trade, and its exports have achieved positive growth. The horizontal ratio is better than that of major export-oriented economies, and the share of the international market remains generally stable. In 2023, the export volume of goods increased by 0.6% over the previous year, and the proportion of general trade and private enterprises’ import and export increased. At the same time, China is also actively expanding international economic and trade cooperation and building the "Belt and Road" with high quality. It has become a major trading partner of more than 140 countries and regions, and the scope of international circulation is broader and deeper. In 2023, China’s total import and export volume to countries building the "Belt and Road" increased by 2.8% over the previous year.

 

  Third, domestic and international circulation promote each other. The advantages of our super-large-scale market have emerged, and the expansion of domestic demand has boosted imports. In 2023, the import of agricultural products increased by 5%, consumer goods increased by 1.2% and energy products increased by 27.2%. The advantages of a sound industrial system and stable production capacity have also been brought into play. The promotion of stability and quality by exports has brought about the development of related domestic industries and helped the overall improvement of the economy. In 2023, China’s exports of goods reached a record high. Among them, the export of mechanical and electrical products increased by 2.9% over the previous year. The export value of the "new three products" represented by electric manned vehicles, solar cells and lithium-ion batteries also exceeded the trillion-dollar mark for the first time, with an increase of 29.9%.

 

  While we see the positive progress of domestic and international double circulation, we also see that there are still some blocking points in the domestic big circulation, the world economy continues to be in a downturn, the global industrial chain supply chain is deeply adjusted, and the international circulation is also facing some difficulties and challenges. In the next step, we should make overall plans to expand domestic demand and deepen supply-side structural reform, make overall plans for high-quality development and high-level security, make overall plans to promote deep-level reform and high-level opening-up, open up key blocking points that restrict the economic cycle, and promote the mutual promotion of domestic and international double cycles. Thank you.

  According to recent data, the CPI in China showed negative growth for the third consecutive month in December. What is the prospect of CPI? Will the government take measures to deal with the low prices?

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. The price issue is highly concerned by all sectors of society. From the overall situation in 2023, China’s prices generally maintained a moderate upward trend, and the annual CPI rose by 0.2%. The reporter mentioned that CPI has been negative for three consecutive months, and we should look at both the overall data and the structural data. The year-on-year decline of CPI in recent months is mainly structural and phased.

 

  First, the decline in CPI is structural. The recent decline in prices is mainly due to the fall in food and energy prices. If the influence of food and energy prices is deducted, the core CPI remains stable, which shows that the price decline is not universal and comprehensive, but local and structural. The decline in food and energy prices is not entirely a change in the relationship between supply and demand in the market. From the perspective of 2022 and 2023, it is mainly affected by some non-economic and unconventional factors. From the perspective of energy prices, the price of fuel now has a large weight in the basket of China’s CPI. In December 2023, the energy price decreased by 0.5% year-on-year, while it increased by 5.2% year-on-year. As we all know, energy prices were mainly affected by the Russian-Ukrainian war. In 2022, energy prices rose sharply, and in 2023, they fell back, with one positive and one negative, and the year-on-year downward pull was relatively large. From the perspective of food prices, it decreased by 3.7% year-on-year in December 2023 and increased by 4.8% in the same period of last year, that is, in December 2022. In December 2022, mainly affected by the epidemic situation, the logistics was not smooth, and the prices of various foods were rising. After the normal operation was resumed, the supply was sufficient, and the food prices naturally fell on the basis of the high base of the previous year.

 

  Second, the decline of CPI is phased. In particular, China’s economic recovery is improving, residents’ income is growing steadily, domestic total demand is expected to expand, and the price recovery of goods and services is based and conditional. The recent Spring Festival holiday is approaching, and the demand for food consumption is also increasing. People are more active in eating out, visiting relatives and friends, traveling and other services, which will boost the seasonal rebound of CPI. From the ring comparison, the CPI rose by 0.1% in December 2023; In the first ten days of January, 2024, according to the monitoring situation, some food prices maintained a steady and slightly rising trend. In addition, in addition to supply and demand, prices are also affected by expectations. Judging from the recent situation, the expected confidence of both enterprises and residents has recovered marginally. In December, the expected index of manufacturing production and business activities reached 55.9%, and the expected index of non-manufacturing business activities reached 60.3%, both of which were in a high boom zone. In the fourth quarter, the prosperity index of enterprises above designated size was 109 points, an increase of 0.4 points over the previous quarter. In December, the consumer confidence index rose by 0.6 points from the previous month.

 

  Third, the low price operation also reflects the problem of insufficient effective demand to some extent. Insufficient effective demand is a phased phenomenon in which our country’s economy is gradually moving towards normal state after three years of epidemic impact. In the short term, insufficient demand will lead to a downward trend in prices. The central government attaches great importance to the problem of insufficient demand. When planning economic work in 2024, the Central Economic Work Conference clearly emphasized that efforts should be made to expand domestic demand and promote consumption to shift from post-epidemic recovery to sustained expansion, and clearly pointed out a series of specific work directions. With the promulgation and implementation of these policies at the Central Economic Work Conference, the problem of insufficient effective demand will be gradually alleviated, and consumer prices are expected to stabilize and rebound. We expect that prices will rise moderately in 2024. Thank you.

  High-quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. What is the progress of high-quality economic development in China at present? What measures will be taken in the future to continuously promote high-quality economic development? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. High-quality development is the last word in the new era and the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. In 2023, all regions and departments have made great efforts to stabilize economic operation, and they have not slackened their efforts in promoting high-quality development. China’s economy has achieved effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity, and the road to high-quality development has become more firm and powerful. To sum up, it can be summarized by five "further".

 

  First, important progress has been made in the construction of a modern industrial system, and the transformation of development kinetic energy has been further accelerated. Modern industrial system is an important foundation for high-quality development. All localities and departments insist on scientific and technological innovation to lead the construction of modern industrial system, and solidly promote the high-end, intelligent and green transformation of manufacturing industry. The new kinetic energy and advantages of China’s economic development have been growing, and new progress has been made in the construction of modern industrial system.

 

  Second, the reform and opening up have been deepened and the vitality of development has been further released. In 2023, China made every effort to promote the construction of a unified national market, optimize the development environment of the private economy, and continue to create a market-oriented, rule-of-law and international first-class business environment, effectively enhancing the dynamic vitality of economic development. By the end of September 2023, there were 181 million registered business entities in China, including 122 million individual industrial and commercial households. Accelerate high-level opening-up, actively carry out international economic and trade exchanges and cooperation, build the Belt and Road with high quality, and successfully host China International Import Expo(CIIE), Service Trade Fair and Canton Fair. China’s import and export volume to countries that jointly built the Belt and Road increased by 2.8%. China International Import Expo(CIIE)’s annual intentional turnover increased by 6.7% compared with the previous session.

 

  Third, the green and low-carbon transformation has continued to deepen and the development mode has further changed. China insists on promoting economic development in the process of green and low-carbon transformation, and the green production mode and lifestyle have been accelerated. Actively build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system and continuously optimize the energy consumption structure. According to preliminary accounting, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption in total energy consumption in 2023 will increase by 0.2 percentage points over the previous year. By the end of 2023, the installed capacity of renewable energy in China will account for more than half of the total installed capacity, historically exceeding that of thermal power. The output of green and low-carbon products is also growing rapidly. In 2023, new energy vehicles increased by 30.3% over the previous year, and the production and sales volume were the first in the world; The export volume of electric manned vehicles increased by 67.1%.

 

  Fourth, people’s livelihood security is strong and effective, and people’s lives are further improved. Improving people’s livelihood and well-being is the fundamental purpose of development. In 2023, the income of urban and rural residents grew steadily, the level of public services and social security continued to improve, and the short-board field of people’s livelihood was gradually strengthened, further polishing the background of people’s livelihood with high-quality development. The per capita disposable income of residents increased by 6.1%, among which, the transfer income from government social relief and subsidies, policy life subsidies and cash policy subsidies for benefiting farmers increased by 10.3%. The investment in people’s livelihood has been increasing. The investment in the production and supply of electricity, heat, gas and water has increased by 23%, and the investment in agriculture has increased by 9.3%, all of which are obviously faster than the total investment.

 

  Fifth, the ability to ensure food and energy security has been improved, and the foundation for safe development has been further consolidated. In 2023, China ensured security in its development and achieved good development on the basis of security.

 

  Of course, at the same time, we must also see that China is still in the key period of transforming the development mode, optimizing the economic structure and transforming the growth momentum. To further promote high-quality development, we still need to overcome many difficulties and challenges. It is necessary to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, take high-quality development as the last word in the new era, make overall plans for high-quality development and high-level security, continuously improve the economic quality and reasonably increase the quantity, and turn the grand blueprint of Chinese modernization into a beautiful reality step by step. Thank you.

 

  Reuters reporter

 

  I am also concerned about the structural problems. I would like to ask, how can we realize the transformation of old and new kinetic energy in China’s economic development? It is also seen in the report that new energy vehicles and solar cells are growing rapidly, but in the process of vigorously developing advanced manufacturing industries, how can we prevent possible overcapacity problems? In addition, in the case of relatively insufficient domestic demand, will the rapid expansion of these industries bring downward pressure on prices and possible international trade frictions? Thank you.

 

 

  Wang Guanhua

 

  Thank you for your question. I want to answer your question mainly from two aspects:

 

  First of all, the first point is about the conversion of old and new kinetic energy. High-quality development is the development of implementing the new development concept, and "innovation" ranks first among the five development concepts. Adhering to the drive of innovation and promoting the transformation of development kinetic energy has always been an important task for high-quality development. Just now, Director Kang Yi gave a detailed introduction to the achievements of China’s high-quality development last year, especially the innovation-driven development. Here I would like to add a few more data. In 2023, the added value of China’s equipment manufacturing industry above designated size increased by 6.8% over the previous year, which played a key role in promoting the stable recovery of industry; In 2023, the report released by the World Intellectual Property Organization showed that China ranked 12th in the global innovation index, and the number of the top 100 scientific and technological innovation clusters in the world jumped to the first place in the world for the first time. It can be said that new kinetic energy has become an important engine to lead high-quality development.

 

  Secondly, last year, China’s economy rebounded, especially the market demand and domestic demand recovered well. Everyone should have personal feelings about this, especially with the increasing demand-driven role, China’s supply and demand convergence and economic cycle are also improving. Give you a few data for reference. In the fourth quarter, the product sales rate of industrial enterprises above designated size in China remained above 97%, which rose to 98.4% in December; Judging from the capacity utilization rate that reflects the capacity utilization situation, in the four quarters of 2023, the industrial capacity utilization rate was 74.3%, 74.5%, 75.6% and 75.9% respectively, showing a trend of quarterly recovery. This reflects that with the improvement of market demand, China’s capacity utilization is gradually recovering. At the beginning of this year, we also noticed that ice and snow tourism and ice and snow sports can be said to be "out of the circle", which not only conforms to the general trend of upgrading the consumption structure of residents, but also shows the potential of domestic demand in China. We are full of expectations and confidence in the recovery of the consumer market this year.

 

  Generally speaking, China is still in a critical period of economic recovery and transformation and upgrading. In the next step, in accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the Central Economic Work Conference, we should persist in striving for progress through stability, promoting stability through progress, establishing first and then breaking, continuously consolidate and strengthen the economic recovery to a good trend, and promote the effective improvement of quality and reasonable growth of quantity of the economy. Thank you.

 

  Singapore Straits Times reporter

 

  What I want to ask is, last year we saw the impact of real estate on the whole macro-economy. Can it remain stable this year? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. Real estate has always attracted much attention. At the press conference last year, some reporters also mentioned this issue. What is the trend and what is the next step? Everyone is very concerned. According to our monitoring, after more than 20 years of development, the real estate market is in the process of adjustment and transformation. Under such a big background, all regions and departments are adapting to the new situation that the relationship between supply and demand in the real estate market has undergone major changes and adjusting and optimizing real estate policies in a timely manner. Judging from the current situation, there have been some positive changes in the real estate market, mainly in two aspects:

 

  First, the decline in real estate investment, sales and other indicators narrowed. In 2023, the investment in real estate development decreased by 9.6% compared with the previous year, and the decline rate narrowed by 0.4 percentage points compared with the previous year. The funds in place of real estate development enterprises decreased by 13.6%, which was 12.3 percentage points narrower than the previous year. The decline in commercial housing sales has narrowed significantly. In 2023, the sales area of commercial housing in China decreased by 8.5% compared with the previous year, and the sales volume decreased by 6.5%, both of which were declining, but the declines were significantly narrowed by 15.8 and 20.2 percentage points respectively. Since August, the online signing and filing volume of newly-built commercial housing has rebounded as a whole, rising by 20.2 percentage points in December compared with August. From the monitoring of 70 large and medium-sized cities, the transaction volume of new and second-hand houses is rising moderately. Second, the completed area of real estate increased rapidly. The work of "guaranteeing the delivery of the building" is progressing steadily, and the effect continues to appear. In 2023, the completed housing area of real estate development enterprises increased by 17% over the previous year.

 

  What do you think of the future trend of the real estate market? The long-term healthy development of China’s real estate market has a good foundation for several reasons:

 

  First, there is still a lot of room to improve the quantity and quality of urbanization. Just now, it was reported that the urbanization rate in 2023 is 66.16%, which is still room for improvement compared with the level of more than 80% in developed economies. The urbanization of China is still in the process of sustainable development. In the past five years, the urbanization rate has increased by 0.93 percentage points annually. Every year, more than 10 million rural residents enter cities and towns, and the scale of new citizens is relatively large, which will also bring a large number of new housing needs. Although the per capita housing area in our country is not small, the functions and structures of many houses are not reasonable, and many people need improved housing urgently, which will also form an important driving force of the real estate market, including the 70 large and medium-sized cities currently monitored. The demand for improved housing is very obvious, which is manifested in the fact that the transaction volume of second-hand houses in 70 large and medium-sized cities has exceeded the transaction volume of new houses.

 

  Second, there is great potential for building a new model of real estate development. The new model of real estate development is being actively constructed, which is the fundamental solution to solve the real estate development problems and promote the healthy development of real estate. Among them, the construction of affordable housing, the construction of public infrastructure for both ordinary and emergency use, and the reconstruction of villages in cities are all advancing rapidly. With the vigorous and orderly progress of these projects, it will help solve the urgent problems of people in housing and housing, and at the same time, it will also drive real estate-related investment and consumption and promote the healthy development of the real estate market. Thank you.

 

  China Daily reporter

 

  Recently, many international organizations and commercial organizations have raised their expectations for China’s economic growth, believing that China is still the biggest engine of global economic growth. What do you think of this? What is the economic trend of China in 2024? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. How to look at the economic trend of China in 2024 is also a matter of great concern to everyone. 2024 is the 75th anniversary of the founding of People’s Republic of China (PRC), and it is a crucial year for us to implement the 14th Five-Year Plan. To predict the economic trend of this year, we should first see that we will face some challenges and difficulties, but more are favorable conditions and advantages. Taken together, the opportunities we face are greater than the challenges, and the favorable conditions are stronger than the unfavorable factors. The basic trend of China’s long-term economic improvement has not changed, and the factors supporting the high-quality development of China’s economy are accumulating and increasing. Therefore, we predict that China’s economy will continue to pick up in 2024. Specifically, there are five advantages.

 

  First, the economic growth is "good". In the four quarters of 2023, the gross domestic product (GDP) is growing positively year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, and the economic scale is also expanding quarter by quarter, which is also a good momentum of recovery. In addition to the statistical accounting of economic aggregates, the National Bureau of Statistics has also done a job of monitoring and comparing some physical quantity indicators. Judging from the physical quantity indicators, the absolute quantities of most physical quantity indicators, such as electricity consumption, output of major industrial products, investment, import and export, have greatly exceeded the level in 2019. Some physical indicators are lower than the pre-epidemic level in 2019, mainly related to the problems mentioned by reporters just now, and are the output indicators of products related to real estate. This also reflects that our economic operation is improving as a whole. International organizations have raised their forecasts for China’s economic growth by 0.4 percentage points, the International Monetary Fund by 0.1 percentage points and the OECD by 0.1 percentage points, which shows that the international community is optimistic about China’s economic development prospects in 2024.

 

  Second, economic development is "resilient". Our country has a solid industrial base, and is the only country with all industrial categories in the United Nations industrial classification. Its supporting capacity and integration advantages are outstanding. The added value of our manufacturing industry accounts for nearly one-third of the world’s total, and our goods exports account for one-seventh of the world’s total. At the same time, China’s transportation, communication and other infrastructure networks are improving day by day, short-board areas such as education and medical care are constantly strengthening, and the supply quality of talents, funds and other factors is improving significantly. Food and energy security, industrial chain supply chain and other key areas of support capacity building have also achieved practical results, which have enhanced the resilience and room for manoeuvre of our country’s economic development, and are also the basis for the economy to be stable and far-reaching

 

  Third, high-quality development is "full of vitality". New industries are growing rapidly, new formats are improving continuously, new models are being cultivated rapidly, the economic structure is being continuously optimized, and the potential of economic development is expected to be further stimulated. In 2023, the added value of service industry accounted for 54.6% of GDP, and contributed more than 60% to economic growth. The investment in technological transformation of manufacturing industry increased by 3.8%, and the investment in high-tech industries increased by 10.3%, which was faster than the growth rate of all fixed assets investment. More importantly, China continues to promote the formation of a new situation of innovation-driven development, and China’s economy is constantly developing and growing while accelerating the cultivation of new quality productivity.

 

  Fourth, the reform and opening up has "many dividends". China adheres to and improves the basic socialist economic system, adheres to the "two unswerving", speeds up the construction of a unified national market, promotes the construction of a high-standard market system, optimizes the business environment, and creates a fairer competitive environment for all kinds of enterprises, which will continuously stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of business entities. Including foreign-invested enterprises, continue to be optimistic about China. From January to November 2023, the number of newly established foreign-funded enterprises increased by 36.2% year-on-year, and China’s open dividend continued to be released.

 

  Fifth, the macro policy is "wide in space". The policy effects of issuing additional government bonds, reducing taxes and fees, and lowering the RRR and interest rates introduced in 2023 will continue to be released this year. This year, some new measures will be taken to optimize the reserves, and these new incremental measures and stock policies will be superimposed to protect the stable operation of the economy. At present, China’s government debt level and inflation rate are low, the policy toolbox is constantly enriched, and there is a lot of room for manoeuvre in fiscal, monetary and other policies. There are conditions and space for strengthening the implementation of macro policies.

 

  Although there will be some difficulties and challenges in promoting the sustained economic recovery in 2024, the Central Economic Work Conference held some time ago made a careful analysis of the difficulties and challenges and put forward specific countermeasures. It is necessary to fully implement the arrangements of the Central Economic Work Conference and constantly turn development advantages into development potential. This year, China’s economy will certainly be able to face difficulties and forge ahead, and achieve effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity. Thank you.

  In 2023, the total retail sales of social consumer goods showed a trend of gradual recovery, but at present, China still faces the problem of insufficient demand. Excuse me, how do you view the performance of the consumer market in 2023? What is the prediction for 2024? Can the recovery of consumption continue? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. The first question is the performance of the consumer market in 2023, and the second question is the prediction of the consumer market in 2024.

 

  Let me introduce the performance of the consumer market in 2023. Generally speaking, the consumer market will recover in 2023. In the three years since the epidemic, the consumer market has been hit hard, and many contact and aggregate consumption have been restrained. With the smooth transition of epidemic prevention and control, the economy and society have fully resumed normal operation, and consumption has shown a good recovery trend with frequent hot spots. Consumption has become an important force driving economic recovery in 2023. There are several characteristics: First, the consumption scale has reached a new high. In 2023, the total retail sales of social consumer goods exceeded 47 trillion yuan, reaching a record high. Second, consumption has become the main driving force of economic growth again. In 2023, the final consumption expenditure will drive economic growth by 4.3 percentage points, up by 3.1 percentage points over the previous year; The contribution rate to economic growth was 82.5%, an increase of 43.1 percentage points, and the basic role of consumption was more significant. Third, service consumption recovered quickly. The rapid recovery of service consumption is also a highlight of consumption recovery in 2023. The retail sales of services increased by 20% over the previous year, which was 14.2 percentage points faster than the retail sales of goods. The per capita service consumption expenditure of residents increased by 14.4%, accounting for 45.2% of the per capita consumption expenditure of residents, up by 2 percentage points over the previous year. Fourth, the structural upgrading of household consumption continues. Especially the improvement of people’s living standards and the steady growth of income, our country is currently in a period of rapid upgrading of residents’ consumption structure.

 

  We judge that there are many favorable conditions to support the sustained recovery of consumption in the next stage, and consumption will still maintain a good growth. Supporting factors: First, the consumption potential is still huge. With a population of more than 1.4 billion, the advantages of super-large-scale market are still obvious, coupled with the integrated development of urban and rural areas, the advancement of urbanization and the continuous upgrading of consumption structure, which provide a broad space for consumption growth. In particular, the consumption potential of medical care and health is expected to be further released. Second, the consumption base has been continuously consolidated. Income is the premise and foundation of consumption. With the sustained economic recovery and the overall improvement of employment situation, residents’ income is expected to maintain steady growth, which will strongly support the improvement of residents’ consumption power. Third, consumption highlights are constantly emerging. Digital consumption, green consumption, healthy consumption, cultural tourism consumption, etc. are all developing rapidly, and some consumption hotspots such as smart home, entertainment tourism, sports events, and domestic products are also heating up, which constantly adds momentum to the upgrading and expansion of the consumer market. The fourth is to promote the continuous development of consumption policies. All localities and departments insist on giving priority to restoring and expanding consumption, and have successively issued a series of policies to promote consumption, focusing on stabilizing and expanding traditional consumption, cultivating and expanding new consumption, and continuously optimizing the consumption environment, which will continue to play a positive role in stabilizing the consumer market and promoting consumption recovery. Therefore, we are optimistic about the consumption trend in 2024. Thank you.

  I want to pay attention to the fifth national economic census. The fifth national economic census was officially launched on January 1 this year. What is the current progress? What are the innovations of this census compared with the previous four? How to ensure the quality of census data? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. The fifth national economic census is an important survey of national conditions and national strength in the new era and new journey, which carries the important task of finding out the economic background of our country and reflecting the progress of high-quality development. At present, the unit inventory work has been successfully completed, and it has entered the stage of census registration since January 1, 2024. Now the census registration work is being carried out in an orderly manner. Especially since the beginning of the new year, on January 3rd, Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang made a survey to guide the on-site registration of the census, visited the grassroots enumerators and staff, and put forward clear requirements for doing a good job in census registration. At present, the census work is progressing in an orderly manner. January-April this year is the official registration stage of the census, which is also the most important stage of the census work and the most important stage for obtaining high-quality census data.

 

  The innovation of the fifth national economic census this year is mainly to focus on the development of high-quality services, enrich the survey content and innovate the survey methods. The fifth national economic census will comprehensively investigate the development scale, layout and benefits of China’s secondary and tertiary industries. On this basis, we should expand the field of statistical investigation, enrich the content of statistical investigation, improve the statistical investigation system and promote the construction of a high-quality statistical monitoring system. There are three main aspects of innovation:

 

  First, the input-output survey was carried out as a whole for the first time. Originally, the input-output survey and the economic census were conducted separately, and the fifth national economic census integrated these two separate surveys, which helped to promote the better connection between economic aggregate data and structural data.

 

  The second is to further improve the "three new" economic statistics. Add the content of digital economy survey, better reflect the digitalization process of China’s economic development, systematically promote the platform economy survey, and lay the foundation for finding out the development of brand-new industries, new formats and new development models.

 

  Third, there is innovation in the means and methods of investigation. Continue to deepen the application of departmental administrative records, add self-reporting methods to collect census data, develop mobile applet to collect data for the first time, and establish an input-output statistical electronic ledger for the first time to improve the efficiency of census work.

 

  The quality of census data is the most fundamental criterion to measure the success or failure of census. In the census work, we attach great importance to the quality of census data and take a series of measures to ensure the quality of census data.

 

  The first is to standardize data collection. In this economic census, census takers collect data from households, census subjects fill in their own reports and departments submit data, so as to strictly control human interference in data collection and ensure the quality of census source data.

 

  The second is to carry out data audit and inspection in various ways. We carried out the census data with the report and review, comprehensively used big data means and various analysis methods to carry out audit and verification, and organized on-site verification and inspection in time. After the census registration, the general office will also organize a spot check on the quality afterwards to comprehensively test the quality of the census registration data.

 

  The third is to resolutely investigate and deal with census fraud. Conduct a census in accordance with the law, resolutely resist all kinds of interference with census data, strengthen statistical law enforcement inspection, incorporate the fifth national economic census into statistical inspectors, and "strike out" violations of laws and regulations in the census, and seriously pursue accountability according to the law and regulations.

 

  At present, there are about 2.1 million census "two members" (census investigators and census counselors) visiting the streets, going deep into enterprises and merchants to collect data, and the census data are being reported in an orderly manner.

 

  Here, I would also like to thank all the respondents for their support and the hard work of the census workers. I also hope that the media friends will continue to support the census, publicize the census and supervise the census. Let us work together to hand over a satisfactory answer sheet for the fifth national economic census with high quality. Thank you.

 

  Cover journalist

 

  Recently, some media reported that there was a difference of 294.6 billion kWh between electricity consumption and power generation in the first 11 months of 2023. Why is there such a data difference? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. We are concerned that some media discuss the difference between electricity consumption and electricity generation. Electricity generation and electricity consumption are two important indicators reflecting power operation. Just now, this reporter friend mentioned the difference between the data of these two statistical indicators from January to November, mainly because the caliber of the two indicators is different. One of these two indicators is the electricity consumption of the whole society, and the other is the power generation of industrial enterprises above designated size. In addition to industrial enterprises above designated size, with the rapid development of solar power generation and wind power generation, some industrial enterprises below designated size, various houses and merchants also generate electricity, but this part of the power generation is not within the industrial power generation above designated size from January to November.

 

  For your better understanding, I would like to explain these two indicators. Their survey objects, statistical caliber and coverage are different. First, the statistical caliber is different. The electricity consumption of the whole society is counted from the users of electricity, and the industrial power generation above designated size is counted from the suppliers. The scope of these two statistics is different. Specifically, the electricity consumption of the whole society is the full-scale electricity consumption, that is, the total electricity consumption, including the electricity consumption of enterprises and residents, as well as the self-produced and self-used electricity and line loss of power plants. The statistical caliber of industrial power generation above designated size refers to the power generation of industrial enterprises above designated size. The current standard of industrial enterprises above designated size is industrial enterprises with annual main business income of 20 million yuan or more, so it does not include the power generation of small industrial power generation enterprises below designated size, and it is not a full caliber power generation.

 

  Second, it is affected by some distributed power generation. In recent years, distributed solar energy and wind power generation, which are widely dispersed and small in size, have developed rapidly, and they are mostly distributed in various types of residential buildings, merchants and some industrial enterprises below the scale. Because the power generation enterprises are small in scale, this part of the power generation does not meet the industrial statistical standards above the scale, and some of them are merchants and residential buildings, so it is not counted in the monthly industrial power generation above the scale, but will be counted in the whole society’s power generation. As we all know, our data are usually released in the middle of the next month. So many small-scale power generation scattered around the country will be counted annually, and the power generation of the whole society will also be released in the annual statistical bulletin. Generally speaking, the industrial power generation above designated size accounts for about 95% of the total social power generation, which has fluctuated a little recently. The power generation below designated size is increasing, while the power generation above designated size is decreasing, but the decrease is not big, which is probably the ratio. Look, everybodymonthlyThe expression "industries above designated size" cannot be ignored in power generation. Statistical indicators are relatively rigorous, and everyone should also pay attention to the meaning and scope of statistical indicators when using them, so as to facilitate the more accurate use of data. Thank you.

  What is the employment situation in 2023? Did you complete the target task? The number of college graduates in 2024 is expected to reach a new high. What will be the employment trend? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. Employment is also a matter of great concern to everyone, because it is the biggest livelihood. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council have always attached great importance to the employment issue, emphasizing the promotion of stable employment to a strategic level. All localities and departments insist on giving priority to employment and optimizing and adjusting policies and measures to stabilize employment. In the past year, we made every effort to stabilize the overall employment situation and the overall employment situation improved. There are several characteristics.

 

  First, investigate the decline of unemployment rate and the continuous increase of new jobs. On a quarterly basis, the national urban survey unemployment rate is 5.4%, 5.2%, 5.2% and 5.0% respectively, and the trend of gradual improvement in employment is obvious. From January to November, the number of new jobs in cities and towns was 11.8 million, an increase of 350,000 over the same period of last year.

 

  Second, key groups and difficult groups have strong employment security. A series of job stability support and job expansion incentives came into effect, and the classified assistance for groups with employment difficulties was effective, and the employment of migrant workers, young people, people with employment difficulties and other groups was effectively guaranteed. In 2023, the total number of migrant workers reached 297.53 million, an increase of 1.91 million over the previous year. The average unemployment rate of migrant agricultural registered population in cities and towns was 4.9%, a decrease of 0.7 percentage points over the previous year. From January to November, the number of unemployed people in cities and towns was 4.75 million, and the number of people with employment difficulties was 1.56 million.

 

  Third, the employment scale of people out of poverty has increased steadily. All localities and departments give full play to the mechanisms of labor cooperation, counterpart support and fixed-point assistance between the east and the west, and carry out in-depth special assistance for poverty alleviation and relocation in key counties and ex situ, so that the employment of poverty-stricken people will grow steadily. By the end of November 2023, the number of migrant workers will be 32.94 million, exceeding the target of 30 million.

 

  In this year’s employment situation, the overall judgment is that the pressure still exists, and the structural contradictions in employment of some groups and some industries will still be more prominent. However, with the recovery of economy, the acceleration of industrial transformation and upgrading, and the accumulation of positive factors to stabilize employment, China’s employment situation is expected to remain stable. There are several reasons:

 

  First, the expansion of economic scale has brought about an increase in employment. Economic growth is the basis for stabilizing and expanding employment. In recent years, the continuous expansion of China’s economic growth is the key to stimulating employment growth. In 2024, the increment of China’s economic creation is expected to be greater than last year, which will provide strong support for expanding employment. Second, the number of people leaving the labor market in 2024 will be larger than the number of people newly entering the labor market, which also provides more employment space for people looking for jobs. The third is to upgrade the industrial structure and expand the employment capacity. Compared with other industries, the service industry with higher labor intensity has obvious advantages in absorbing employment. Since last year, the service industry has recovered well, and its proportion in GDP is also increasing. The proportion of service industry in GDP has exceeded the level before the epidemic, and the employment-driven role of catering, transportation, wholesale and retail industries is more obvious. Looking forward to this year, service consumption will be more active, and the growth of service industry will continue to be one of the main forces driving employment absorption. At the same time, new industries, new formats and new business models are developing vigorously, generating many brand-new job demands, which is also conducive to expanding employment space and improving employment quality. Fourth, the effect of stabilizing employment policy continues to exert significant effects. The Central Economic Work Conference has also made arrangements for this, especially pointing out that more policies are needed to stabilize expectations, growth and employment. All localities and departments will give more prominence to employment priority orientation, increase employment assistance for key groups, and the release of policy dividends is expected to continue to provide a strong guarantee for employment stability. Thank you.

 

24,000 pieces of data, we found out the "fried chicken capital" and "chicken king" in China.

If you want to rank the foods that can bring the most happiness, fried chicken can definitely enter the top three. A crisp bite, full of meat, and endless aftertaste. There are often such social news: "Pregnant women fall out with their mother-in-law for stealing a piece of fried chicken", "Players are disqualified from eating fried chicken at halftime" … Even though it is called junk food by their mothers and teachers, fried chicken is still a delicious food that many people can’t give up.

As a fried chicken lover, DT Jun has never understood why no one has scientifically studied how much Chinese people love fried chicken. With the attitude of strictness (dou) and sincerity (bi), we decided to use data to find the fried chicken capital of China. By the way, a "chicken king" was also selected.

▍ Panorama of "Fried Chicken Jiangshan" in China: Is there a difference in the taste of fried chicken between North and South?

First of all, when cleaning the data, DT Jun found that some fried chicken shops are not "exclusive": they can sell pancake fruit, or even focus on stinky tofu … For the purity of chicken shop data, we gave up hamburgers, bibimbap, hot pot, pancake fruit and other shops that mainly sell fried chicken. Therefore, fast food chains such as McDonald’s and KFC, as well as Korean restaurants with fried chicken as their signature, are temporarily excluded from this analysis.

Next, let’s reveal the national map of fried chicken.

There are more than 20,000 "pure" fried chicken shops in the country included in the map of Gaode. From the map, these fried chicken shops are concentrated in the southeast and central parts, especially some coastal cities are densely covered, and there are not many fried chicken shops in the western region. Pay attention to those areas with dense fried chicken shops and dark colors, mainly including Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. These are the seeds of the "fried chicken capital" to be mentioned later!

Tofu pudding can be divided into sweet and salty, and fried chicken, which is also a national snack, will there be differences between North and South? Yes!

According to the classification method recognized by a fried chicken post bar, we temporarily divide these fried chicken shops into four schools:

Image source: Internet. From left to right are chicken chops, chicken wings mixed with Korean sauce and fried whole chicken.

DT Jun chose the cities with the total number of fried chicken shops in the top 40 in China, and calculated the proportions of three kinds of fried chicken shops, namely desktop, Korean and whole chicken, and found that the proportion of desktop fried chicken was as high as 56%!

This result may not surprise you. After all, if you look around the food city, you can name the fried chicken shops, such as Zhengxin chicken chops that appeared in Extreme Challenge, the huge number of "knockoffs" and the super chicken carts, all of which are desktop fried chicken.

Although the most mainstream desktop fried chicken is popular among the people of the whole country, there are still differences between the north and the south when you look closely. According to the number of fried chicken shops per capita in each region, southerners love desktop fried chicken more deeply, especially in Dongguan, Sanya and Xiamen. In Dongguan, there is a desktop fried chicken shop for an average of 14,000 people. The people in the north, on the other hand, seem to be really less interested in table fried chicken. In the top ten per capita, Taiyuan is the only northern city.

Since I don’t like table fried chicken, what do northerners like? The answer is to fry the whole chicken.

Even though desktop fried chicken almost dominates the country, there are seven cities with more whole chicken shops than desktop fried chicken, all of which come from the north. In Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, 75% of fried chicken shops sell whole chickens. For example, online celebrity Broiler, who was fined 500,000 yuan for advertising slogans related to pornography, "ordered fried chicken" (this is the name of some stores after they changed their names, what was it called before ….. Baidu itself), although it originated in Shanghai, but from the point of view of the distribution of stores, it mainly expanded to Chengdu and several northern cities.

Finally, let’s take a look at the windy Korean fried chicken in the past two years. In recent years, because of the joke of fried chicken+beer in You from the Stars and the fried chicken broadcast by various South Korean up owners in bilibili, Korean fried chicken has become a force to be reckoned with in fried chicken rivers and lakes.

After all, it is a newly-emerged fried chicken sect. Compared with the Jianghu elders such as table fried chicken, Korean fried chicken is still much less powerful. The fried chicken shops specializing in Korean flavor only account for about 5% in the country, and it is also a minority in cities.

However, one city’s love for Korean fried chicken stands out from the crowd. This city is Mudanjiang City. In this city, desktop, Korean and whole chicken are almost three points in the world. Korean fried chicken also beat desktop fried chicken with a slight advantage of 3.4%.

▍ "Chicken King" Championship: National Overlord VS "Local Snakehead"

There are so many schools of fried chicken, which school can be the "Wulin League Leader"? The data shows that the fried chicken brand with the largest number of stores in China is Zhengxin Chicken Chop.

I believe that you have actively or passively accepted its various advertisements: strongly implanted in "Extreme Challenge", Brother Hong Lei recorded the program while eating, and could not stop; Bo Huang personally endorsed the call for him … The propaganda offensive was in place, and the expansion speed was also beyond the reach of other fried chicken shops. On September 4th, Zhengxin Chicken Chop announced that there were 15,000 stores nationwide, compared with 800 stores six years ago.

Image source: screenshot of "Extreme Challenge" program

This "Zhengxin Snack Bar", which originated in Wenzhou, landed in Shanghai immediately after it became popular in the local area, and took the "postal area" as its base camp, and began the nationwide expansion of Zhang Zhilu. However, although Zhengxin’s expansion is fast, it has made slow progress in the Northeast. It’s not that the Northeast doesn’t love fried chicken. There are actually many local fried chicken shops. As a "fried chicken tycoon", did Zhengxin encounter any strong opponents?

Once again, with the store data, DT Jun found out that online celebrity, the brand that defeated Zhengxin Chicken Chop in Northeast China and succeeded in defending it, "called a fried chicken". Perhaps, the bold Northeasters don’t like to eat chicken fillet with bamboo sticks, but prefer to tear the whole chicken leg by hand, so this fried chicken brand, which focuses on frying the whole chicken, firmly holds the fertile market in Northeast China.

It is not surprising that Zhengxin has not been able to dominate the Northeast for the time being. In fact, in addition to ordering a fried chicken, other large chain fried chicken brands have not caused any storm in the local area. There are more than 20 large chain stores with more than 100 stores nationwide, such as the first best chicken chops endorsed by Du Haitao and the big-faced chicken chops that dominate Henan Province. There are not many stores in Northeast China.

▍ "fried chicken capital": a nostalgic person in the imperial city

After combing the national fried chicken preferences, DT Jun also found the "fried chicken capital". Although Dongguan ranks first in the country in terms of the data of fried chicken shops owned by per capita, Beijing is the well-deserved "fried chicken capital" in terms of the total number of fried chicken shops in the city. Moreover, when it comes to eating fried chicken, Beijing pays special attention to tradition and is a "fried chicken capital" with stories.

Then, let’s take a closer look at the detailed "fried chicken power map" in Beijing to see which residents of the imperial city have propped up the heat of "fried chicken capital".

First of all, I have a rough look at the number of fried chicken shops in each district. Chaoyang people are far ahead in the number of fried chicken shops, followed by Haidian and Changping District.

However, the area of each district and county is different, and one Changping district is almost equal to 16 Shijingshan districts. Moreover, the population density in each district is also different. In order to be fair, DT Jun calculated the supply and demand of fried chicken shops in each district with the number of permanent residents in each district and county.

As a result, Chaoyang people never let people down. With an average of one fried chicken shop for every 22,200 people, it has secured the title of "the strongest fried chicken fan in the Imperial City".

After talking about who loves fried chicken in Beijing, let’s talk about what kind of fried chicken the "fried chicken capital" likes best.

As mentioned earlier, in the current fried chicken rivers and lakes, there are Korean fried chicken, desktop fried chicken and other major sects. But in the eyes of old Beijing, American fried chicken is synonymous with fried chicken.

According to the data of Gaode Map, among the 569 fried chicken shops in Beijing, there are 49 with the word "American" in their names.

When it comes to American fried chicken, don’t think of McDonald’s, KFC, and Kalexing at the first time. What Beijingers say about American fried chicken is not these, but the following:

This most authentic American fried chicken in the eyes of old Beijing is an improved version.

According to legend, American fried chicken originated in South America. It is said that during the American Civil War in the 19th century, chicken was the only food allowed to enter the table of black slaves. Most black slaves engaged in manual labor, which consumed a lot of energy. Fried chicken supplemented their nutrition. In the 1990s, American fried chicken was introduced into Beijing, and the streets and alleys were full of American fried chicken shops. Although fried chicken is good, people in old Beijing always think it tastes good when they eat it, but … what seems to be the disadvantage? As a result, the people of Beijing who are rich in life (chi), life (huo), wisdom (jing) and wisdom (shen) began to improve.

Authentic American fried chicken is to fry the salted chicken in an oil pan without any seasoning powder when eating; Although Jingweier fried chicken is salted before frying, the store will stubbornly give you a packet of cumin and Chili noodles, which can be said to be the collective memory of the post-80 s generation.

Finally, rank the fried chicken brands in Beijing according to the number of stores. The top five are all "local brands" based on the Beijing market, except Zhengxin Chicken Chop and the first best chicken chop, which are strongly expanded by the franchise model. And "American fried chicken", a local brand with strong Beijing characteristics, has also successfully entered the top five.

On the dragon and tiger list, there is also a brand "old Beijing American fried chicken" ranked ninth. It is the same as "American fried chicken", although its name is particularly simple, but it is an old brand with many years of history. Together, these two brands have 22 stores in Beijing, supporting half of the American fried chicken in Beijing.

It seems that even in today’s strong expansion of chain brands relying on the advantages of business model, Beijingers still love the most authentic "old Beijing flavor" in their minds.

▍ Fried chicken is not just a snack.

Hard-boiled chicken, three cups of chicken, steamed chicken, saliva chicken … There are 10,000 ways to cook chicken in Chinese, but the fried chicken simply rolled with oil has been popular for decades. When KFC came to China for the first time in 1987, DT Jun remembered that when I was a child, my classmates had to go to KFC to celebrate their birthdays. After getting good grades, my parents rewarded KFC, which is also a childhood memory for many people.

This kind of food is bright in color and smells wonderful. When you take a mouthful of fresh chicken juice, you will feel "indulgent" instantly. It is really a good thing to relieve stress and satisfy your appetite. Moreover, even if the brands of fried chicken emerge one after another, the positioning of being close to the people has not changed. A fried chicken won’t add much to the meal, but it can make your fingers taste happy for most of the day.

Everyone likes fried chicken. DT Jun selected "Fried Chicken Capital" and fried chicken brand No.1 with data. Where is the best fried chicken in your mind? Leave a message and tell us!

Guangqi Honda car rises! Accord’s shopping guide

What I bring to you today is that it has many highlights. So whether this car is a mule or a horse, let’s take a look at its actual performance.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of the Accord first. The front of the Accord looks sharp and equipped with a multi-spoke middle net, which looks very sporty. Headlights are very young and full of sharpness. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, delayed closing and so on. Coming to the side of the car body, the size of the car body is 4980 mm * 1862 mm * 1449 mm. The car adopts cold lines, and the side looks very clean. With large-sized thick-walled tires, smooth lines run through the whole side of the car. In the design of the rear end, the overall shape of the Accord rear end echoes the front face, and the taillights are very simple and fashionable. Coupled with the bilateral single exhaust pipes, the overall shape is still very attractive.

Coming into the Accord car, the Accord interior has a strong sports atmosphere, which meets the aesthetic standards of young people.

A trend of "slapping cigarette cards" is spreading on campus. Children’s addiction and health concerns.

A "smoking card" wind is spreading on campus.

Eight-year-old Liang Liang got a new cigarette card. He sniffed the residual smoke on the card excitedly and added it to his collection with satisfaction, ready to compete with his friends. Recently, a game called "take a cigarette card" has quickly become popular in primary schools. The key of this game is to use rectangular cards made from cigarette boxes. Children win trophies by hitting the ground and turning each other’s cards over. Among them, cigarette cards from expensive cigarette brands are particularly precious.

Liang Liang’s father revealed that since this year, Liang Liang’s obsession with collecting cigarette cards has increased, and he has accumulated dozens of them, but this is not much in school. Parents found that children not only increased their collections by exchanging with each other, but also asked adults who smoked for empty cigarette cases and even searched in trash cans to meet the demand of making cigarette cards.

On the e-commerce platform, the sales of "cigarette cards" are extremely hot, with a wide range of prices ranging from a few yuan to a few cents. Some sellers claim that the cigarette cards they sell are made of real cigarette cases, which guarantees "fidelity" and emphasizes disinfection, but they are vague about the specific source. Although some shops advertise as "all by picking up", they have millions of sales records, and the source is a mystery. Many parents showed photos of their children playing cigarette cards in the evaluation, which reflected the universality of this game.

It is worth noting that children are very picky about the authenticity of cigarette cards and are not interested in the production of non-real cigarette cases. This kind of game inadvertently makes children very familiar with various cigarette brands. In this regard, many regulatory authorities and educational institutions began to take action. Haikou, Tianshui and other places conducted special inspections and issued initiatives to prohibit students from participating in the "cigarette card" game. The Changsha education department also requested to investigate and stop the sales of cigarette cards around the campus.

Legal experts pointed out that selling cigarette cards to minors violates the Law on the Protection of Minors and the Advertising Law, which not only harms their physical and mental health, but also may touch the legal boundary of illegally selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks. Experts stressed that the society should make joint efforts to eliminate tobacco factors affecting teenagers, promote healthy entertainment and protect children from the temptation of smoking. There are voices calling for the development of card games suitable for teenagers as a healthy substitute for cigarette cards. A "smoking card" wind is spreading on campus.

Flowers grow short, so we should work hard this spring.

Letters, originally romantic in the old days, belong to Su Zhenshu’s unique feelings today. During the thirteen years, she read, bought and wrote books, and wandered in the sea of books and mountains and rivers, which was also the sincere thinking of intellectual women.

The recently published collection of epistolary prose "Thinking about Peace" is a collection of letters from Su Zhenshu to his friend Jia Lujun, which is followed by "Meeting in Kyoto" and "Asking about Kyoto". Through forty-four letters, she showed her love for life and her yearning for her hometown friends. This book is arranged in chronological order, beginning with the end of the year and ending with the Spring Festival. Readers can follow the author’s records to experience the change of cold and heat, and feel the weight and temperature of time in the seasonal changes.

Trivia at the end of the year

Jia Lu Jun:

See you. Good.

Last night, I attended the annual meeting in the research room and went out for a drink with my teacher. Yumiko, the teacher elder sister, is so frank that she drinks sake from beer and sweet potato soju. The small bottle of shochu is very cute, depicting the ancient game map. She handed me her cup and urged me to have a taste. Always keep a clear head outside, so you usually drink plum wine with water. I hesitated, but I took the cup and took two sips, softer than I thought, and blurted out, "It’s delicious." Elder martial sister Yumiko was very happy, so she called Yihe for me alone. "He" is a commonly used unit of measurement for Japanese wine. One "He" is 180 ml, which is scalded once in a wok, put in a "Deli" and served with a small small wine cup. Deli Japanese hip flask, big belly and small mouth. The matching small handleless wine cup is called "Pig’s Mouth", and there are often ripples of blue patterns at the bottom to identify the purity of the wine. Just drink one cup at a time and slowly.

After the banquet, I saw the bright stars in the sky in the silent narrow lane. The wind is very cold. Kyoto is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is said that it was a big lake in ancient times. Although it is not as hot as Chongqing in summer, the wet cooling in winter is even worse than Chongqing. Japanese historian Moriya Chensaburo once said that Kyoto people enjoy the beauty of spring and autumn, so they need to explore the ruthlessness of summer and winter. I always take this sentence to comfort myself to accept the two difficult seasons in the ancient capital.

It’s cooled down these days and snowed in many places on the island. Kyoto is also extremely cold, and there are a few mornings with a little broken snow. According to the predecessors, every snowy day in Kyoto, local TV stations will definitely send helicopters to shoot the snow scene of the ancient capital, among which there will inevitably be the Golden Pavilion Temple covered with snow. Locals always have to see this snow scene before they feel relieved, as if winter had not been let down. There are many tourists all the year round, and after the snow, it is full of photographers. I am afraid of crowding, so I haven’t been there yet. Chimonanthus praecox and narcissus have blossomed, and there are also bright red fruits of Cornus officinalis, Pyracantha fortunei and Nandina domestica. Birds are scrambling to peck and eat roundly. There are many Chinese tallow trees by the river, and their white fruits are like plum blossoms. I remember walking with you on the outskirts of Nantong a few years ago. You pointed to a large area of Chinese tallow tree and said, "Zhang Jian vigorously promoted the planting of this tree in those years, because he could make cocoa butter from Chinese tallow and make something similar to chocolate, but it was not as delicious as chocolate. It was just a lie."

Japanese people must send postcards to each other in the New Year, which are called "New Year greetings". On New Year’s Day last year, I participated in the activities of printing and sending New Year cards to friends in Shiga. First, a list of gifts was made, with about 100 people. Later, postcards were designed, printed with photos of a family of three and their dog Judy, and then printed one by one. Writing a message is also a huge project. For ordinary friends or customers, it is good to print a few words of blessing directly, and for intimate objects, it is usually handwritten. It was early in the morning when all this was done, and it was snowing heavily outside. The bell of the temple except Eritrea came from far away, and my friend took me out to send postcards. I carried a small oil lamp and stepped on a foot-thick snow in the mountain to find a mailbox. The red mailbox was covered with white snow. Before putting the postcard into the mailbox, the friend put his hands together and said, "Happy New Year!" "

But I am too lazy to write new year cards, and there are not so many people to send them to. As a matter of fact, Japanese families also feel that it is a big burden to write and send new year card. If you only give it to relatives and friends, it’s okay, but you still need to consider some people who have a weak relationship but have to send it, such as teachers and bosses. The other party may not think it’s important, but it’s rude if you don’t send it. Such troubled feelings really hurt the meaning of the New Year card itself. Some school sisters also hesitated whether to send cards to their teachers during the Spring Festival. Ask her if she really wants to send it. Answer: I just saw that all the teachers and sisters sent it, so I had to send it myself. I said, if you have the idea of "having to send it", you might as well not send it. Just think that we foreigners are ignorant and don’t understand local customs. Why take blessings as a burden? For example, at home in previous years, every New Year’s Eve, parents often worry about how to reply to a large number of New Year’s messages. When I said to help them solve the problem, I actually just edited a few concise blessings and sent them to several close relatives and friends, ignoring the rest.

Say something happy. Last week, I went to a friend’s house and bought a box of pomelo cakes from Tsuruya Jixin. Tsuruya Jixin is a famous shop of Jingguo, with a history of more than 200 years. This family’s pomelo cake is the most famous. Tomioka Tessai, a famous local painter, ate happily and wrote a plaque with the word "pomelo cake", which is still hanging high in the shop. The fruit called grapefruit in Japan is not the kind of Wendan we eat, but the fragrant arhat orange, which is planted by many people and also found in the wild. In winter, it is full of bright lanterns, and kiosks like to use them as containers or seasoning. Take a grapefruit bath on the winter solstice, and there is a haiku saying, "Pomelo is fragrant, so take a bath in the morning on the winter solstice." Pomelo cakes do have a citrus aroma, which is a bit like orange cakes, glutinous rice flour and mint that I used to eat when I was a child. It melts on the tip of my tongue and feels a little cool. My grandmother likes to eat orange cake very much. When I was a child, there was a sugar jar at home, which always contained a little orange cake, inch gold candy, hemp balls, fried peanuts and dates, with a hint of rust. I don’t like eating so much, I just remember and cherish all this. There are many trivial matters at the end of the year, so I’ll stop here today and talk to you later.

Songru

The fourth day of the twelfth lunar month

Kobe book market

Jia Lu Jun:

I returned to Beijing during spring break and spent three weeks happily, spending every day with my cat. A row of poplars downstairs, rustling like rain every night when you go back in summer, is moving. In March, a tree full of poplars has just blossomed, and it falls down in a hairy section and looks like a caterpillar from a distance. People often sing Bangzi opera in the park near the community, and Hu Qin plays very well. There is a woman dressed in ordinary clothes, her clothes are dusty, but her mouth is clear and moving. I didn’t listen to Bangzi very much before, thinking that the operas were vulgar and noisy, and now I like them very much. In particular, the blowpipe in Kunqu Opera "Strange Double Meeting" makes me want to stop. Just like living outside for a long time, there is less and less picky about diet. Spring comes overnight, the peach blossoms are earth-shattering, and the hairy buds of Magnolia are about to open. The most precious spring in Beijing, but I’m leaving. When I returned to Kyoto on the night of 28th, nothing happened to the cherry blossoms. I can’t see the poplar trees, and there is no strong wind wrapped in sand. The air is clear, the clouds float across the blue sky, and the shadows cast on the mountains move slowly. Even if it is such a good scenery, it is inevitable to be disappointed.

▲ Posters of some book fairs.

Yesterday I went to the annual spring book fair in Kobe (March 15th to May 15th). Books here are extremely cheap, with a single book of 300 yen and a library book of 100 yen, and international students get half price. I have to take the Hankyu Express Line to change trains twice. This is my first time in Kobe. Kobe faces the sea with mountains on its back, and the mountain roads are undulating, and the scenery along the way is quite different from that of Kyoto. I heard from local people that Kobe University is often haunted by wild boar, and I have seen a big wild boar lead a group of cubs to cross the road at a red light.

The book fair is small, and there is only one room in an activity center. Books are piled up, and the classification is confusing. At first glance, it is very confusing. Japan’s publishing industry is developed and there are many kinds of books. The habit of buying books in recent years is: when there is no clear goal, look at the publishing house first. Yanbo Library, Chinese official document library, elementary school library, Central Public Comment Society, Jigu Academy, Shanchuan Publishing House, Tokyo Chuangyuan Society, Hong Wen Hall, Pingfan Society and Kakukawa Library are all worthy of trust. I used to go to the nearby Feige Pavilion a million times. This publishing house specializes in publishing legal books.

Look at the author’s resume again. Japanese books are usually accompanied by the author’s resume on the back cover, indicating the place of birth, school origin, research direction and work achievements. After two initial screenings, you will probably find something. Of course, there are many Japanese publishing houses, and there are also some very minority publishing houses, but the books they make are very good. As for the author’s resume, it is only an additional reference and cannot be completely trusted.

Select from the library first. The usual "library books" refer to Japanese books of sixty-four, as opposed to singles. In modern times, in order to encourage people to read, the price is low. Later, various publishing houses also launched a "new book", the format of which is slightly larger than that of the library, and the content is social science academic and all-encompassing. The library is more specialized in literature and art. I like Yanbo’s new book, which is portable and rich in content. It has a large circulation and a friendly price.

Future Society has published a set of Japanese People’s Dialect, a total of 26 volumes, edited by region, and the content is very interesting. I really wanted to buy all of them, but it was too difficult to consider shipping them back to Kyoto, so I chose the three volumes that I was most interested in. By the way, I bought a set of 16 volumes of World History by the Central Public Comment Society. In the past, Japanese publishing houses liked to compile such books on education and popularization, and invited famous people in related fields to write them. Similar to our "Little Books for Everyone", the circulation was also great, and it was often seen in old bookstores and book markets.

It took a lot of effort to visit the book market. In the afternoon, I repeatedly selected and packed two boxes. There was a small storm when a friend came to pick it up: two boxes of books left in the cloakroom were accidentally split into warehouses by the staff. The other party apologized and led me to the warehouse to unpack and rummage. Seven or eight boxes were torn down, and finally the previous two boxes were found back. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and I was very happy to get it back, so I chose two books I liked from the pile of books.

Returning to Kyoto in the evening, the new moon is bright on the way. The cherry blossoms are blooming next door, the flowers are brushing the wall, and the cat is lying still, so it doesn’t shy away from people. It’s easier to buy books than to study, so you should work harder this spring.

In a hurry, that is, this is a ode.

Premier League, Manchester City vs Chelsea: Triple Crown and Triple Crown

Manchester City, the third consecutive champion, played against Chelsea at home this Sunday, ending the home game this season.

Regardless of the outcome, Manchester City will receive the Premier League trophy after the game. Chelsea seek revenge, and Manchester City have lost all three games this season, including a 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge in January, and riyad mahrez scored in the second half.

Twenty-four years ago, Manchester City could only watch its arch-rival Manchester United win the triple crown. Now history is in front of Manchester City, and Manchester City is expected to win three awards this season and write a page of football legend.

Guardiola’s success team advanced to the Champions League final, beating defending champion Real Madrid 4-0 at home on Wednesday. Silva scored twice, and Acani and Alvarez also scored. On June 10th, they played against Inter Milan in Istanbul.

A week ago, the FA Cup Manchester Derby final was put on the agenda. Now that a trophy has been brought home, with Nottingham Forest beating Arsenal 1-0 at home, Guardiola is guaranteed to lead the team to three consecutive championships-only Manchester United achieved it from 1998 to 2001 and from 2006 to 2009.

Manchester City is 4 points ahead of Arsenal, the second place, and the peak is unparalleled. They enjoyed a winning streak as expected, winning the last 11 rounds of the league. The results of home games are amazing, with 16 wins since the new year and only 7 goals lost after 56 goals.

The winning streak at home began with an easy 4-0 victory over Chelsea in the third round of FA Cup in January. Since losing to Chelsea in the Champions League final in Porto, Portugal in 2021, Manchester City has won five games without conceding a goal.

Champagne has cooled down, Guardiola and others hope that the final game at home this season will end with a victory over Chelsea, and then lift the Premier League trophy with cheers at home.

Chelsea, which is 42 points behind Manchester City, seems to be in the lower half of the Premier League for the first time since the 1995-1996 season. Last weekend, the forest threatened by relegation drew 2-2.

Rem Sterling scored twice in the seventh minute of the second half, but Nigerian striker taiwo Awoniyi equalized in the 60th minute to help the visiting team win a point at Stamford Bridge.

Lampard ranks 11th in the scoresheet, eight points behind 10th, the arch-rival Fulham across the Thames, and the chances of winning the remaining three games against Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle are slim.

Chelsea haven’t won 14 consecutive Premier League games against the team above the standings, and Manchester City has lost 6 games and won 1 game in the last 7 games.

summary

I expect Manchester City to score 3-0 against Chelsea.

Even if Guardiola rotates the lineup, Manchester City is strong enough to beat Chelsea, which is only fighting for honor and ending the season in the experimental stage.

Manchester City won the last home league game eight times in the last nine seasons. We expect them to do the same tonight and end their unforgettable season in a perfect way.

Cheer, Manchester City fans! Three consecutive championships, three championships in sight, Manchester City has become a legend of English football! No matter what the result is, under the leadership of coach Guardiola, we all enjoy such a brilliant moment. Let’s shout Manchester City!

Chelsea fans, don’t lose heart. Our blue army is in the reconstruction period, and it is difficult to make much progress in the short term, but the team is full of top Premier League stars and its strength is still there. At the beginning of the new season, we are sure to regain our former glory and make great achievements on the Premier League stage again. Chelsea! Chelsea!

Masters, no matter which side you are on, this BIG6 war is not to be missed.

So, which team do you like? Manchester City’s dream of winning three consecutive championships and treble, or Chelsea’s reconstruction breakthrough?

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in the comments section. Your question will be an opportunity for me to improve, and I will definitely answer it seriously. Please rest assured. Finally, I hope we can share the fun of this game together and look forward to your active discussion!

It is certain that Leonard’s Clippers career may be over without G4. Ballmer’s remarks are meaningful.

With the deepening of the NBA playoffs, the events have become more exciting and intense, attracting the attention of tens of thousands of fans. At the same time, the players have also been plagued by injuries in such fierce confrontation, and the prospects of the series have become confusing. This is the case with the Clippers. The injury of two leading stars has put the team in trouble, and they may miss the championship again this season. It is certain that Leonard’s Clippers career may be over without G4. Ballmer’s remarks are meaningful.

Earlier, the Clippers updated Leonard’s injury. Unsurprisingly, he will miss Game 4 of the series because the injured right knee is getting worse. Leonard’s continued absence is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Clippers, who are 1-2 behind, and they have no chance of winning in the face of the well-staffed Suns. It is worth noting that Leonard’s frequent injuries in the past three seasons have made the team’s management gradually lose patience, and this injury may have brought his Clippers career to an early end. For the team’s current experience, the boss Ballmer also responded for the first time and said something meaningful.

"We lost two core players, which is the most disappointing thing. In the past few years, our players have been plagued by injuries, which are inevitable. Obviously, you want to win the championship, but you have to stay healthy. I wonder if we need to make changes in the summer and are tired of the current situation. " Ballmer said.

It is not difficult to see that Ballmer is dissatisfied with the team’s struggle for the championship. He must have planned to reorganize a championship lineup without lack of money. It must be mentioned that after Ballmer formed the dual-core lineup of Leonard and George, in four years, Cowie Leonard and Paul George played only 91 games at the same time, and most of them were in a state of recovery, especially Leonard.

There is no denying that the healthy Leonard is really strong. In the first two games of the series, facing the high-pressure defense of the Suns, he bravely scored 38 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 31 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, leading the Clippers to a record of 1 win and 1 loss. Imagine how high Leonard and George would be if they were not injured.

China Men’s Basketball Team No.30 training, Qiao Shuai hand-picked Lin Wei and other five generals, focusing on rejuvenation and saving the World Cup.

China men’s basketball team will be trained on April 30th, and the training list will be produced from the teams that have missed the playoffs and have been eliminated from the playoffs, focusing on rejuvenation. Coach Jorjevich will personally lead the team to strengthen the World Cup, and this training will also be held with ABL champion Oriental Team for two warm-up matches, which can be regarded as trials for the World Cup and the Asian Games. This time, Qiao Shuaiqin pointed out that five players, including Lin Wei, will enter the training team, so we might as well talk about which players can be selected.

Qiao Shuai has identified five players: Cui Yongxi, Zeng Fanbo, Lin Wei, Liao Sanning and Wang Ruize. Needless to say, Cui Yongxi has been focusing on cultivating him since he took office. He made two first appearances in the preliminaries and returned to the league. His self-confidence has greatly increased. He is 199 cm tall and has a great advantage in the second place. He is expected to become a player like Ding Yanyuhang. Zeng Fan,

Lin Miao is a rising star in Ran Ran. His shooting talent is very high, and he has a big jump shot, which is a bit like Ray Allen. Even the famous Hu Weidong regards him with special respect and is very optimistic about Lin Miao’s future. This season, he opened a little high and went low, and he made a stunning start, and twice staged a lore. However, with the increasing attention of his opponents, his defensive strength was strengthened, which led to Lin Miao’s death. At present, Liao Sanning is in transition to play dual-energy health, but his talent is still relatively high this season. Wang Ruize is the champion of the three-point competition, and Qiao Shuai appreciates him very much, but he is not young and there is not much room for improvement.

Guo Haowen has basically recovered. He was born in 2000 and is still relatively young. Not surprisingly, Guo Haowen will be selected for this training team. As a tall and large defender, it is the type that Qiao Shuai needs most. Guo Haowen can play three positions, and Jiao Boqiao will undoubtedly be selected. In the last window, Jiao Boqiao participated in two preliminaries. Although he didn’t have much playing time, his talent is obvious to all. Cui Xiaolong belongs to a strong defender.

Wiliam has been selected into the national team for many times. During his coaching in Du Feng, he was recruited into the national team and participated in the preliminaries. He is definitely a top 3D player, with outstanding confrontation ability and stable three-pointers. Zhang Ning, as a college classmate of Wiliam, also has strong strength. Although he played badly in the playoffs, Zhang Ning is full of energy, strong in figure, able to play with and without the ball, and spared no effort on the defensive end, and even able to play the whole game physically.

Jilin team’s "Second Ginger" is very powerful. Although Jiang Weize is short in height, he has strong three-point ability and explosive score. He once played a brilliant performance in the Asian Cup. Jiang Yuxing has excellent offensive and defensive ability, but his rebounding ability is very strong, even reaching the fourth position. Zhao Jiayi belongs to a tall and large front line, can play multiple positions and has a certain ability to hold the ball. Since,

In addition to Lin Biao, Wang Lanzhang also has strong strength in Tongxi team. As an older rookie, Wang Lanzhang has strong instant fighting power, outstanding overall situation, dares to make moves on the court, and often sends out wonderful passes and assists in a narrow space. Zhao Baiqing was selected as a three-man men’s basketball team, belonging to the spatial No.4 position. He is very active in grabbing rebounds in the frontcourt, and Li Yiyang passes the ball. However, he is still a young player, one year younger than Wang Ruize. Before, his condition declined due to injuries, and he is recovering well now. Qi Lin’s talent is very high, and even foreign aid Farr is very recognized, but his progress is slow and he needs continuous efforts.

This men’s basketball training is mainly held for young players. Qiao Shuai will focus on young players such as Lin Wei, Zeng Fanbo and Cui Yongxi. Some of them have the opportunity to be selected for the World Cup training list, and they are even expected to stay in the final list. For young players, it is a valuable asset. Being guided by Qiao Shuai is conducive to the development of their careers. I expect them to play well in the training team.

Research says that artificial intelligence can help detect breast cancer and reduce the workload of doctors.

[Global Network Reporter Zhang Yang] Artificial intelligence has been increasingly applied to people’s lives. In the medical field, many medical institutions have begun to try to use artificial intelligence technology to assist doctors in diagnosis. Recently, according to foreign media reports, many medical institutions around the world began to experiment with artificial intelligence technology to assist in the diagnosis of breast cancer.

According to the report, Hungary was one of the first countries to adopt relevant technologies. Since 2021, at least five hospitals have used artificial intelligence technology to assist the detection of breast cancer.

In a study published in 2022, the researchers recorded the number of times breast cancer was identified in 250,000 scans using artificial intelligence programs, and found that this was almost consistent with the level of human radiologists, and the scanning results could be read faster. The conclusion of this study is that if this technology is incorporated into doctors’ daily work, it can effectively reduce the workload of radiologists.

According to a doctor who used an artificial intelligence application, he was shocked by the effectiveness of the artificial intelligence program, because he submitted some difficult cases he encountered in his career to artificial intelligence for diagnosis, and the program correctly identified cancer symptoms every time.

With the enhancement of artificial intelligence technology, artificial intelligence can gradually complete more complex tasks, and many companies have been committed to combining artificial intelligence technology with medical care for many years. For example, YiduCore, a medical intelligent brain independently developed by medical science and technology enterprises in China, is the accumulation of core technologies for many years and a highly competitive medical intelligent infrastructure.

By virtue of YiduCore’s powerful data processing and AI algorithm capabilities, as well as its accumulated medical knowledge, insights and disease models, Yidu Technology assists customers such as medical institutions to manage authorized data efficiently and with high quality, making uncountable data computable, and at the same time, through continuous iteration of independent learning, continuously accumulating and strengthening the modeled knowledge map, promoting real breakthroughs in clinical diagnosis and treatment, and further providing value in public health, research, diagnosis and treatment and other scenarios.

Regarding the application of artificial intelligence technology in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, Yidu Technology told reporters that in a phase III study on the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer patients conducted by its Happy Life Technology (HLT) in cooperation with a well-known domestic pharmaceutical company, Happy Life Technology implemented digital recruitment through artificial intelligence technology, accelerated the positioning of target patients, found HER2-positive breast cancer patients more quickly and accurately, and completed the recruitment of patients with the target number.

Although artificial intelligence technology is rampant, many doctors or experts in artificial intelligence also said that artificial intelligence technology can not replace doctors, but is only used for auxiliary medical care. For example, when a doctor has made an assessment of the condition, he can use artificial intelligence to review it to prevent the occurrence of missed diagnosis.
