Hybrid car, that is, hybrid car.

Hybrid cars, that is, cars, are "smart guys" between traditional fuel vehicles and cars. They use (such as gasoline engines) and cooperate with each other, which is both fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly. Let’s tell you some main types of hybrid cars in vernacular. Although you can’t provide a picture description, you can help understand them by imagining keywords or searching for corresponding pictures on the Internet.

1. ():

This is the most common type of hybrid, which can be used without plugging in. It has a small battery, which is charged by the energy recovered when braking, or helps to charge when it is "idle". When driving at low speed or starting at ordinary times, the quiet motor works; When running at high speed or needing great power, the engine will intervene again. In this way, we can not only enjoy the smoothness and quietness of electric vehicles, but also avoid endurance anxiety.

2. Plug-in hybrid (PHEV):

Plug-in hybrid is like an "enhanced version" of ordinary hybrid, with a large battery that can be recharged. After being fully charged, it can be driven by pure electricity in a short distance, just like driving an electric car. Zero emission also saves money. After the battery is exhausted, it becomes a common hybrid mode, and the internal combustion engine and the motor work together. Suitable for friends who have the conditions to charge at home and commute not too long every day.

3. 48V light mixing:

Light mixing is an example of "small changes, big effects". It adds a small motor and a 48-volt battery to the conventional fuel car. This small motor can help the engine when starting and accelerating, reducing fuel consumption; It can also recover energy when braking. The driving experience does not change much, but the fuel consumption is obviously reduced, which is suitable for car owners who want to save fuel and do not want to change their driving habits.

4. REEV:

Extended-range hybrid is a bit special. Its engine does not directly drive the wheels, but is like a "charging treasure", which supplies power to batteries and motors. The car is always driven by the motor, which only starts when the battery is low to charge the battery. In this way, you can enjoy the driving experience of electric vehicles, and you are not afraid of not finding a charging pile during long-distance travel.

5. Structural differentiation: series, parallel,;

Series: the engine only generates electricity, and the electricity is supplied to the motor to drive the wheels, similar.

Parallel connection: both the engine and the motor can drive the wheels individually or together, and the power switching is flexible.

Series-parallel type (such as THS): The engine and motor can be driven independently and work together, which is complex but efficient.

To sum up, hybrid cars are varied and have their own characteristics. Which one to choose depends mainly on your daily use needs, charging conditions and personal preferences. If you want to save fuel and environmental protection, drive smoothly, and don’t want to be troubled by charging, ordinary may be the most suitable; If it is convenient to charge at home, there are many short distances and few long distances, plug-in hybrid is a good choice; If you just want to make small changes to save energy, you may wish to consider 48V light mixing; If you like pure electric driving and are not afraid of long distance, then look at the hybrid. Remember, the key is to choose the hybrid car that suits your life!

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.

  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.

  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.

 

Corrupt officials were found to be involved in nearly 300 million cases after retiring for 8 years.

       CCTV News:On December 29th, 2017, the website of the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection reported eight typical cases that violated the spirit of the eight central regulations. Among them, Liu Beixian, the former Party secretary and president of China News Agency of the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, flew in first class for many times on official business trips from 2013 to 2014, and held a daughter’s wedding banquet in violation of regulations. At the same time, he still has other serious violations of discipline, and he was expelled from the party and his retirement benefits were cancelled. As can be seen from the published resume of Liu Beixian, he retired in February 2015.

       I have been retired for more than two years and can I still be filed for review? Such a case is not a case.

       Zhao Shaolin, former member of the Standing Committee of Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, retired for 8 years and was investigated for nearly 300 million cases.

       On the morning of May 18th, 2017, Zhao Shaolin, former member of the Standing Committee of Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and Secretary-General, issued a verdict on bribery and fraudulent purchase of foreign exchange. This big tiger, who fell off his horse after eight years of retirement, was finally sentenced to four years in prison and fined 15 million. The court said that Zhao Shaolin not only voluntarily confessed the facts of the crime, actively cooperated with the recovery of the money and materials involved, but also reported other people’s major crimes, which was a major meritorious service.

       It was found through trial that from 2007 to 2014, the defendant Zhao Shaolin, while serving as the general counsel of the company actually controlled by his son Zhao Jin, together with Zhao Jin, asked others to help his company illegally operate real estate projects and paid bribes worth RMB 4,448,950. Zhao Jin was helped to defraud the relevant authorities of the examination and approval documents by forging foreign trade contracts and paying fees abroad, which was used to fraudulently purchase foreign exchange and remit it abroad, totaling more than 41.7 million US dollars, about 287 million yuan.

Zhao Shaolin is on trial.

Zhao Shaolin is on trial.

       He Baolin, former deputy director of the People’s Social Security Bureau of Baoji City, Shaanxi Province: "You can help the poor after retirement."

       Compared with Zhao Shaolin’s behavior, there is another way of corruption related to retirement, which is hidden and difficult to be found, but it is very harmful, so we must be vigilant. That is option corruption. The so-called option corruption refers to the fact that leading cadres use their power to seek benefits for others when they are in office, but they don’t want to "return" immediately, but they only cash in "rewards" in various forms after leaving or retiring according to private "agreements". It is similar to futures trading, in essence, corrupt officials avoid "direct" trading of power and money and try to escape the punishment of party discipline and state law.

       He Baolin, the former deputy director of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, who was over 60 years old, used his power to "greet" two hospitals in the examination and approval of medical insurance and recovery, and was sentenced to 10 years in prison for accepting bribes. According to the confession of the briber, He Baolin refused and returned the bribe, and verbally agreed with the briber: "It is not appropriate to collect money now, and you can help the poor after retirement." This is a typical option corruption.

       "I have helped this boss a lot. When he wants to thank me, I told him that there is no shortage of money now. You can spend some time and play for me after I retire. Later, he gave me a bank card of 3.4 million yuan. " Fan Jianguo, the former chairman of Suizhou CPPCC in Hubei Province, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for accepting bribes, fully exposed the nature of corrupt officials who "can’t afford to be early without benefits".

       As a "variant" of corruption, option corruption is more hidden and harmful than the instant power and money transaction of "you give me money to do things".

       Some corrupt elements also regard it as a brilliant move: engaging in option corruption can not only ensure that the profits will not fail, but also "act according to the system" and avoid naked transactions, so as not to fall behind "handles". Even if others suspect, the benefits will not be "cashed" until a few years or more after leading cadres leave their jobs or retire, and the difficulty of obtaining evidence and verifying them will also increase.

       Some leading cadres, after retirement, go to the enterprises that they have "helped" as executives, and get the high "salary" agreed in advance, while others directly reach out and ask for the agreed "income". Li Yongheng, the former director of Guangdong State Taxation Bureau, asked the enterprises he had cared for for for cash, real estate and other property worth nearly 9 million yuan in less than a year.

       Experts say that option corruption mostly breeds in key economic fields such as land use right transfer, project bidding, property right transaction and government procurement. Once it happens, it will definitely cause great losses to state property.

       Jiang Weijun, former deputy inspector of Jilin Provincial Department of Commerce, was suspected of serious violation of discipline and accepted organizational review.

       On January 11th, 2018, the website of CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection Supervision released a message: With the approval of Jilin Provincial Party Committee, Jiang Weijun, the former deputy inspector of Jilin Provincial Department of Commerce, was suspected of serious violation of discipline, and is currently under organizational review.

       Through the published resume of Jiang Weijun, his post before retirement is in line with the expert’s analysis of the fields prone to option corruption: in September 1994, he served as deputy director of the Foreign Economic and Trade Department of Jilin Provincial Economic and Trade Commission; In August 2000, he served as Director of the Trade Market Division of Jilin Provincial Economic and Trade Commission; In June 2004, he served as Director of the Import and Export Department of Mechanical and Electrical Products of Jilin Provincial Department of Commerce; In March 2009, he served as director of the mechanical and electrical products import and export department of Jilin Provincial Department of Commerce (provincial mechanical and electrical products import and export office); In January 2016, he served as chief economist of Jilin Provincial Department of Commerce; In February 2017, he served as deputy inspector of the Jilin Provincial Department of Commerce; Retired in September 2017.

       Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of Peking University Research Center for Clean Government Construction, believes that the characteristics of option corruption should be regulated from the system. For example, according to the administrative level and power characteristics of different officials, the fields of employment of officials after resignation and retirement should be clarified, so that officials can exert their residual heat without showing off their arrogance.

       Governments at all levels should change their functions, simplify administration and decentralize power, fully publish the list of powers and responsibilities of local governments, so that "there is no power outside the list, but there must be something inside the list", put a "tight hoop" on power, give full play to the role of the market in resource allocation, break the "hidden rules" of corruption and rent-seeking, prevent power from entering the market, and eliminate the breeding ground of power "futures trading".

       The French open is long and sparse, but it does not leak. As long as you use the power in your hands to gain illegal gains, no matter how the tricks are refurbished or how the behavior is hidden, you are doomed to escape from the "hand of justice" of party discipline and state law. Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has never stopped and relaxed its efforts to crack down on corruption. In this high-pressure situation, you are advised not to stretch out your hand, and you will be caught if you stretch out your hand! (Text/Liu Shan)

Take on the new era and new cultural mission and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation

General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important speech at the forum on cultural inheritance and development highly summarized the five outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, profoundly expounded the great significance of "two combinations", and clearly put forward the era tasks of continuing to promote cultural prosperity, building a cultural power and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point, which is of great practical significance for us to continuously deepen our understanding of the regularity of cultural construction, always strengthen our cultural self-confidence and build a socialist modern country in an all-round way.


1. Deeply understand and grasp the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization.


China has a long history of culture and profound Chinese civilization. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that there are many important elements in Chinese excellent traditional culture, which together shape the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization. A profound understanding and grasp of these outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization will help us to inherit the long and colorful Chinese civilization and build a modern Chinese civilization.


Chinese civilization has outstanding continuity. Chinese civilization is the only uninterrupted civilization in the world, which can be called a miracle in the history of human civilization. Chinese civilization has a long history. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China’s ancient culture contended and flourished unprecedentedly, which laid the foundation and trend of China culture. The Qin dynasty achieved great unity, and the culture of the Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties, Ming and Qing Dynasties continued and flourished. Since modern times, the cultural exchanges between China and the West have been deepening, which has not only enriched Chinese civilization, but also promoted the harmonious development of world civilization. Chinese civilization has outstanding continuity, which "fundamentally determines that the Chinese nation must follow its own path". Only when we know China from the long history and cultural continuity can we deeply understand ancient China, modern China and future China.


Chinese civilization has outstanding innovation. In the long history of more than 5,000 years, the Chinese nation has shown a strong spirit of innovation and creativity. From art to science and technology, from ideas to artifacts, from culture to system, they have created brilliant history and brilliant achievements. Ideologically, Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi and other world-famous thinkers have emerged. In science and technology, the four great inventions have profoundly influenced the process of human civilization; In the history of architecture, great projects such as Wan Li Great Wall, Dujiangyan and Forbidden City have been produced. In culture and art, he created great works such as the Book of Songs, Han Fu, Tang Poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu, Ming and Qing novels. The famous reforms of Shang Yang, Wang Anshi and the Reform Movement of 1898 in Chinese history all reflected the innovative consciousness of the Chinese nation. The outstanding innovation of Chinese civilization "fundamentally determines the enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation, respecting the past and not retro, and determines the fearless character of the Chinese nation that is not afraid of new challenges and is brave in accepting new things".


Chinese civilization has outstanding unity. The long and splendid Chinese civilization has become the spiritual bond that unites the Chinese nation. Both Mencius’s "Unity in One" and Dong Zhongshu’s "Unity in Spring and Autumn" regard unity as the most important and persistent content in China’s political tradition. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the idea of great unification has gradually occupied the core position of Chinese culture and is rooted in people’s hearts. All ethnic groups in China believe that division will ruin the country and destroy lives, while reunification will share peace and live and work in peace. Driven by this kind of thought and belief, although China has suffered from wars and divisions repeatedly in history, it still takes the pursuit and realization of reunification as the normal state of development. All ethnic groups live together and watch each other, gradually forming a harmonious relationship. The outstanding unity of Chinese civilization fundamentally "determines the common belief that the territory is inseparable, the country cannot be chaotic, the nation cannot be separated and civilization cannot be broken, determines that national unity is always the core of China’s core interests, and determines that a strong and unified country is the fate of people of all ethnic groups".


Chinese civilization has outstanding inclusiveness. Chinese civilization is broad and profound, advocating mutual respect, tolerance and learning among different cultural forms, and never rejecting any foreign culture. It can be said that pluralism and tolerance are one of the core values of Chinese civilization. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and Mohism contended and created a splendid pre-Qin culture. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced into China and soon became an integral part of Chinese culture. In history, the nomadic people in the north entered the mainland several times, and the cultures of all ethnic minorities were later integrated into the Chinese family. The ancient Silk Road has built a bridge for cultural exchanges between China and countries and regions along the route, and the achievements of civilization created by various countries have gradually become an element of Chinese culture. After Marxism was introduced into China, as a foreign culture, it was organically combined with Chinese excellent traditional culture, and Marxism was China-oriented. The outstanding inclusiveness of Chinese civilization "fundamentally determines the historical orientation of the Chinese nation’s exchanges and exchanges, determines the harmonious pattern of the coexistence of various religious beliefs in China, and determines the Chinese culture’s open mind to all world civilizations".


Chinese civilization has outstanding peace. The Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation, and China culture advocates harmony. Peace, harmony and harmony are the concepts that the Chinese nation has been pursuing and inheriting, and being kind to neighbors and being a family under the sun is the way that the Chinese nation has always pursued. All the dynasties in China took "peace and prosperity" as the highest goal of governing the country, and "harmony among all nations" as the way to deal with the relations between different ethnic groups and countries. There is no gene in the blood of the Chinese nation to invade others and claim hegemony. What Chinese civilization advocates is to cherish the world, establish oneself, uphold justice and uphold justice. The outstanding peace of Chinese civilization "fundamentally determines that China will always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of international order".


2. Deeply understanding and grasping the "two combinations" is "the greatest magic weapon for our success"


General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "It is the only way to open up and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics on the profound foundation of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, and to combine the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture. This is our regular understanding in exploring the road to Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest magic weapon for our success. " A profound understanding and grasp of this important conclusion will help us to constantly cultivate and create Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture in the new era and promote the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation.


"Two combinations" make "Marxism become China’s". Marxism is an irrefutable truth with universal applicability. But as Engels said, "Marx’s whole world outlook is not a doctrine, but a method." Marxism must be combined with the specific reality and historical and cultural traditions of various countries in order to show its vigorous vitality and vitality. During the various historical periods of China’s revolution, construction and reform, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people persisted in combining the basic principles of Marxism with China’s concrete reality, continued to promote the modernization of Marxism in China, and created one miracle after another. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the great historical initiative, our party has continuously deepened its understanding of communist party’s laws of governance, socialist construction and the development of human society, and more consciously realized that upholding and developing Marxism in the new era must be further combined with Chinese excellent traditional culture.


In the process of promoting the "second combination", our party has activated the long-standing Chinese civilization with the power of Marxist truth, promoted the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture with scientific standpoints and methods, and made the Chinese civilization glow with vitality again. At the same time, China’s excellent traditional culture also enriches Marxism with cultural nourishment, endows China Marxism with "a certain national form" and "China characteristics", and endows it with distinctive China style, China style and era connotation. The "two combinations" have created a new cultural life, making Marxism not only China’s, but also the era’s, allowing us to master the initiative of thought and culture, better use the "arrow" of Marxism to shoot the "right" of contemporary China, timely answer the major theoretical and practical problems facing the new era, and better use Marxism to lead the prosperity and development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture and promote the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation.


"Two combinations" make "Chinese excellent traditional culture modern". Chinese civilization has lasted for more than 5,000 years. Today, in order to better adapt to the modernization drive, exchange and learn from other countries’ civilizations on the international stage, show its permanent charm in the world, and make Chinese excellent traditional culture not only ancient and China, but also modern and world-wide, it needs to be further combined with Marxism. Only through the "two combinations", especially the use of Marxist standpoints and methods, can we strengthen the excavation and interpretation of Chinese excellent traditional culture and carry forward the Chinese civilization that spans time and space, transcends national boundaries and is full of eternal charm, so that it can cross time and space, show its global value and highlight the world significance of Chinese excellent traditional culture.


Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the historical process of promoting "two combinations", Chinese excellent traditional culture has been endowed with brand-new connotation of the times through creative transformation and innovative development, adapting to contemporary culture and coordinating with modern society, showing distinctive contemporary value. In the new era, our Party has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization, and provided China’s plan and China’s wisdom for human modernization, among which the rich ideas, humanistic spirit and moral norms contained in Chinese excellent traditional culture are condensed, making Chinese excellent traditional culture go to the world in a subtle way. At the same time, our party has also integrated the values of China’s excellent traditional culture into the diplomacy of big countries, promoted the building of a community of human destiny, and promoted China’s excellent traditional culture to become world-wide and modern, laying a solid foundation for us to build a new form of human civilization and a modern civilization of the Chinese nation.


"Two combinations" formed and sublimated Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road, theory, system and culture. Our party has always insisted on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China, which undoubtedly includes the reality of China culture in different periods. After the socialist transformation was basically completed, when Comrade Mao Zedong began to explore the road of "Chinese-style" socialist construction, he proposed "the second combination". At the beginning of reform and opening up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping clearly put forward: "Combine the universal truth of Marxism with the concrete reality of our country, take our own road and build socialism with China characteristics." Our party led the people to push forward the reform and opening-up, and formed Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road, theory, system and culture.


Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, with the Supreme Leader as the main representative, have insisted on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, put forward a series of original new ideas, new ideas and new strategies for governing the country, and wrote a new chapter in the modernization of Marxism in China. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, rooted in China’s excellent traditional culture and based on the great practice of contemporary China, is contemporary China Marxism and 21st century Marxism. It is the essence of Chinese culture, which contains distinctive Chinese cultural characteristics and eternal Chinese cultural values, and provides spiritual motivation and fundamental follow-up for the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture and the construction of Chinese modern civilization.


The "two combinations" not only laid a solid foundation for the road, but also extended the cultural foundation of the road in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, giving Chinese modernization a profound cultural support. The "two combinations" allow us to make full use of the precious resources of Chinese excellent traditional culture in a broader cultural space and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations. It is a profound summary of our party’s historical experience in the modernization of Marxism in China and a profound grasp of the law of the development of Chinese civilization, indicating that our party’s understanding of China’s roads, theories and systems has reached a new height, indicating that our party’s historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence have reached a new height, indicating that our party has promoted cultural innovation in inheriting Chinese excellent traditional culture.


3. Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point


Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has continuously deepened his understanding of the regularity of socialist cultural construction, and put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new conclusions. This is a scientific summary of the practical experience of the Party’s leadership cultural construction in the new era, an important part of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and provides a fundamental basis for continuing to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point.


Adhere to the "two combinations". In the process of two-way interaction and two-way empowerment, the "two combinations" promoted the modernization of Marxism in China and the internationalization of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Therefore, to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must unswervingly adhere to the "two combinations." Under the guidance of the basic principles of Marxism, we should inherit and carry forward the reasonable core of Chinese excellent traditional culture that transcends time and space and has eternal value, and constantly enrich the connotation of Marxism with the values of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Constantly explore and expound the times value of Chinese excellent traditional culture, promote its adaptation to modern society, truly realize its creative transformation and innovative development, and consolidate the foundation of cultural self-confidence. Find out the combination and convergence point between the basic principles of Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture, build a solid foundation of cultural self-confidence, and let Chinese culture go to the world better and become an important force leading the trend of world civilization.


Follow the objective laws of cultural construction. The development of everything has its own laws. To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we should meet the needs of Chinese modernization and follow the objective laws of cultural construction. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era is a scientific guide for us to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation and must be firmly adhered to. To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we should adhere to the Party’s overall leadership over cultural work, the guidance of the Party’s innovation theory in the new era, the cultural development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the people-centered work orientation on the basis of promoting Chinese modernization and in accordance with the laws of socialist cultural construction. Strengthen the education of ideals and beliefs, carry forward the great spirit of party building, cultivate and practice socialist core values, prosper and develop cultural undertakings and industries, build a strong sense of the Chinese nation’s community, and constantly enrich the people’s spiritual world.


Strengthen cultural self-confidence. Only when a nation is full of confidence in its cultural tradition, cultural concept and value system, as well as its innovative vitality, creative potential and development toughness, can it consciously adhere to its national cultural position, adhere to its national cultural tradition and continue its blood. To better shoulder the new cultural mission at the new historical starting point and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must always strengthen our cultural self-confidence. It is necessary to accurately grasp the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization and deeply understand that this is the endless source of strength for Chinese civilization and the fundamental reason why Chinese civilization has become the only uninterrupted civilization in the world; A deep understanding of the revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture formed by the party leading the people in the long-term struggle is a valuable spiritual wealth and powerful spiritual motivation for the party and the people to continue to advance; We will put our firm cultural self-confidence into concrete practice and mission, promote the construction of a strong cultural country and civilization in the new era, and push Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cultural undertakings to a new level.


Adhere to openness and tolerance. There are hundreds of rivers, and tolerance is great. Openness and tolerance provide a broad space for human civilization and symbiosis. To undertake a new cultural mission and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we need to treat all human civilizations with an open and inclusive attitude. Respect the diversity of world civilizations, understand the value connotation of different civilizations with a broad mind, advocate the coexistence of civilizations and oppose cultural hegemony; Promote exchanges and mutual learning between different civilizations, transcend the barriers between civilizations with civilized exchanges, transcend the conflict of civilizations with mutual learning of civilizations, and make human civilization more colorful; With an open mind to all world civilizations, we should learn from all outstanding achievements of human civilization, promote the localization of foreign cultures, constantly cultivate and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture in the new era, and constantly enhance the soft power and international influence of Chinese culture.


Adhere to integrity and innovation. Being upright and innovative is the natural gene of Chinese excellent traditional culture and the successful password of Chinese civilization. To be upright, it is necessary to adhere to the Marxist position and the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, so that Chinese culture can prosper and develop in the right direction; At the same time, we should adhere to the standpoint of Chinese culture, its timeless philosophical thought, humanistic spirit and moral concept, and consistently inherit the blood of Chinese civilization. Innovation is based on the reality of contemporary China, combined with the conditions of today’s times, to handle the relationship between inheritance and development, to do a good job in the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional culture, and to give Chinese civilization a new era connotation. We should make overall plans for the "two overall situations", scientifically answer the questions of China, the world, the people and the times, innovate and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture, and constantly create new glories of Chinese culture.

Bo Huang and YiBo join hands to pursue dreams. Has your heart been hit by Enthusiasm?

Original title: Comments on People’s Art: Have you been hit in the heart? 

Since the summer, the domestic film market seems to have started the mode of "resonance with the same frequency" with the hot weather. According to statistics, the total box office of this year’s summer file has exceeded 10 billion. Explosive films appeared one after another, and the audience’s enthusiasm for watching movies continued to rise. At present, there is another blockbuster new film "Enthusiasm", which won many praises after its premiere at the closing ceremony of Shanghai International Film Festival.


"Enthusiasm" tells the story of Ding Lei, a street dance coach, and Chen Shuo, who loves street dance, overcoming all kinds of difficulties and leading the dance troupe "exclamation mark" to win the national competition. The film successfully portrays Ding Lei and Chen Shuo, a pair of "one body and two sides", although one is a middle-aged man who has gone through life and become somewhat slick and sophisticated, and the other is a young man who is sincere and never gives up no matter what setbacks he encounters. But both of them have the same deep love for street dance, and they gambled on their youth for their dreams.


The film’s grasp of the theme of "little people chasing dreams" can be said to be very in place, the rhythm is smooth, the smiles and tears are very clever, and many familiar "stalks" are added to detonate the emotions of the viewers at the right time. At the same time, as a heavy part of the film, the elements of street dance are also eye-catching. In addition to the starring roles of "Qingdao Dance King" and "All-round Dancer", the participation of many professional street dance dancers also ensures the professionalism and visibility of the dance part. The scene of boiling blood makes the audience feel like they are in the street dance competition, which fully shows the director’s scheduling ability and the visual effect is enough to reach the benchmark level of domestic genre films.


At the same time, Enthusiasm is a film of Xian Yi, young and old, with no movie threshold. Even the audience who know nothing about street dance can easily empathize with the core of the story. After all, everyone used to be "Chen Shuo", and with the growth of age, many people have become "Ding Lei". Besides the two main characters, the group image of the film is also excellent, and the supporting actors who only appeared for a few minutes are lifelike. Whether it is the members of the "exclamation point" dance troupe, the proprietress who runs a restaurant, the wage earners in a car wash shop, the frustrated middle-aged people who rely on driving to supplement their families, etc., these ordinary people everywhere give the audience a strong sense of substitution, and almost everyone can find their own shadow in the film.


As an inspirational work, it is commendable that "Enthusiasm" does not force "chicken blood", and a line of Chen Shuo’s mother in the film "can’t be" is particularly touching in this crazy "involution" era. By portraying those people who have to give up for various reasons on the road of chasing dreams, the film makes people feel that it is also a success to take one’s life seriously as long as the flame of dreams in one’s heart is not extinguished.


It is true that some viewers feel that the main story line of Enthusiasm is still the classic routine of "poor boy attacking rich second generation", which inevitably lacks new ideas. Moreover, the hero’s cool-style mode of winning the final victory is too idealistic. However, movies are the art of dreaming, and it is a beautiful thing to walk into the cinema to feel a hearty and "warm" dream in the hot summer days. (author:Bai Xiao)


China’s policy document on EU.

China’s policy document on EU.


Foreword

At the beginning of the century, the international situation has undergone profound changes. The trend of world multipolarization and economic globalization continues to develop in twists and turns, and peace and development remain the theme of the times. The world is still far from peaceful, and mankind still faces many severe challenges. However, maintaining world peace, promoting development and strengthening cooperation are related to the well-being of people of all countries, the common aspiration and pursuit of people of all countries, and an irresistible historical trend.

China is committed to building a well-off society in an all-round way and hopes to create a good international environment. China will, as always, pursue an independent foreign policy of peace, work with other countries in the world to promote the establishment of a just and rational new international political and economic order, respect the diversity of the world, promote the democratization of international relations, safeguard world peace and seek common development on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.

The EU is an important force in the world. China appreciates the importance that the EU and its member states attach to developing relations with China. For the first time, the China government has formulated a policy document on the EU, aiming at showing China’s policy objectives on the EU, planning cooperation areas and relevant measures in the next five years, strengthening all-round cooperation with the EU, and promoting the long-term and stable development of China-EU relations.

Part I: The position and role of the EU.

The birth and development of the European Union is a far-reaching event after the war. Since the establishment of the European Coal and Steel Community in 1952, the European Union has gone through the stages of development, such as customs union, unified big market, and economic and trade union. Its diplomatic, defense and social alliances have all made progress, the euro has been successfully circulated, and a unified judicial area is taking shape. The EU has become a country with the highest degree of integration and comprehensive strength in the world, accounting for 25% of the world’s total economic output and 35% of the world’s total trade volume, and its per capita income and foreign investment rank among the top in the world.

In 2004, the EU will expand to 25 countries. A new EU covering East and West Europe, with an area of 4 million square kilometers, a population of 450 million and a GDP of over 10 trillion US dollars will soon emerge.

Although the development of the EU still faces many difficulties and challenges, its integration process is irreversible, and the EU will play an increasingly important role in regional and international affairs in the future.

The second part: China’s policy towards the EU.

China attaches importance to the role and influence of the EU in regional and international affairs. History has proved that the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the European Economic Community in 1975 was in the interest of both sides. There have been twists and turns in China-EU relations, but the overall development is good and maturing, and it has entered the track of comprehensive and healthy development. In 1998, the annual meeting mechanism between Chinese and European leaders started. In 2001, China and Europe established a comprehensive partnership. The consultations between the two sides in the fields of politics, economy and trade, science and technology, culture and education have become increasingly close, and the cooperation has achieved remarkable results. China-EU relations are at their best in history.

There is no fundamental conflict of interest between China and Europe, and they do not pose a threat to each other. Due to the differences in historical and cultural traditions, political systems and stages of economic development, it is normal for China and Europe to have different views and differences on certain issues. As long as they are properly handled in the spirit of equality and mutual respect, differences will not become an obstacle to the development of mutual trust and mutual benefit between China and Europe.

The similarities between China and Europe far outweigh the differences. Both China and Europe advocate democratization of international relations, strengthening the role of the United Nations, opposing international terrorism, eliminating poverty, protecting the environment and achieving sustainable development. China and Europe have their own economic advantages and are highly complementary. The EU has developed economy, advanced technology and abundant funds. China has sustained economic growth, a vast market and abundant labor resources. The prospects for economic, trade and technical cooperation between the two sides are broad; China and Europe have a long history and splendid civilizations, and both advocate strengthening cultural exchanges and learning from each other. The political, economic and cultural consensus and interaction between China and Europe constitute a solid foundation for the continuous development of China-EU relations.

Strengthening and developing China-EU relations is an important part of China’s foreign policy. China is committed to building a long-term and stable comprehensive partnership between China and Europe. China’s policy objectives towards the EU are:

-Respect and trust each other, seek common ground while reserving differences, promote the healthy and stable development of political relations and jointly safeguard world peace and stability.

-Mutual benefit, equal consultation, deepening economic and trade cooperation and promoting common development.

-learn from each other, learn from each other’s strengths, expand humanities exchanges, and promote the harmony and progress of eastern and western cultures.

Part III: Strengthening China-EU cooperation in various fields

I. Political aspects

(A) to strengthen high-level exchanges and political dialogue

-Maintain close contact and timely communication between high-level officials of both sides in various ways.

-Give full play to the function of the annual meeting between Chinese and European leaders, enrich the content, pay attention to actual results and strengthen coordination.

-Conscientiously implement the China-EU political dialogue agreement and constantly improve and strengthen the regular and irregular consultation mechanisms at all levels.

-Deepen relations with EU member states, including new member states, and safeguard the stability and continuity of China-EU overall relations.

(2) Abide by the one-China principle.

The One-China principle is an important part of the political foundation of China-EU relations. Properly handling the Taiwan Province issue is related to the stable development of China-EU relations. China appreciates the EU and its member states’ adherence to the one-China principle, and hopes that the EU will always respect China’s major concerns on the Taiwan Province issue, be alert to the Taiwan Province authorities’ attempts to create "two China’s" and "one China, one Taiwan", and handle Taiwan-related issues carefully:

-Taiwan politicians are not allowed to go to the European Union and member States under any pretext, and they are not allowed to have any official contacts and exchanges with the Taiwan authorities.

-Taiwan is not supported to join international organizations in which only sovereign countries participate. Taiwan’s accession to the World Trade Organization in the name of "Taiwan Province, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu separate customs territories" (referred to as "China Taipei") does not mean that Taiwan Province’s status as a part of China has changed, and its contacts with Taiwan should be strictly limited to unofficial and non-governmental categories.

-Not selling Taiwan weapons and equipment, materials and technology that can be used for military purposes.

(3) Encourage Hong Kong and Macao to cooperate with the EU.

The Central Government of China supports and encourages the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macao Special Administrative Region to develop friendly and cooperative relations with the EU on the basis of equality and mutual benefit in accordance with the principle of "one country, two systems" and the provisions of the Basic Law.

(4) Promoting the EU to understand Tibet.

China encourages people from all walks of life in Europe to visit Tibet; Welcome the EU and its member States to provide support and cooperation for Tibet’s economic, cultural, educational and social development on the premise of respecting China’s laws and regulations; The European side is required not to contact the so-called "Tibetan government in exile" and not to facilitate the separatist activities of the Dalai clique.

(5) Continue the human rights dialogue.

China and Europe have consensus on human rights issues, but there are also differences. China appreciates the EU’s position of adhering to dialogue and not engaging in confrontation, and is willing to continue human rights dialogue, exchanges and cooperation with the EU on the basis of equality and mutual respect, exchange information, enhance understanding, and deepen cooperation including the protection of economic, social and cultural rights and the rights of vulnerable groups.

(6) Strengthening international cooperation.

-Strengthen consultation and coordination on major international and regional hotspot issues.

-Strengthen China-EU cooperation in the United Nations and jointly safeguard the authority of the United Nations; Promote the United Nations to play a leading role in safeguarding world peace and promoting economic and social development, especially in helping developing countries to eradicate poverty, improve the global environment and combat drugs, and support the reform of the United Nations.

-Promoting the process of Asia-Europe cooperation. With the joint efforts of China and Europe, ASEM has become a model of equal cooperation between continents, a channel for exchanges between eastern and western civilizations and a driving force for establishing a new international political and economic order.

-jointly fight terrorism. Both China and Europe are victims of terrorism, and they are opposed to all forms of terrorism, and they are also opposed to linking terrorism with specific countries, ethnic groups or religions. China and Europe should maintain close contact and cooperation in counter-terrorism.

-jointly safeguard the international arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation system and strengthen consultation and coordination on the basis of mutual respect; Strengthen exchanges and cooperation in the field of non-proliferation and export control and the prevention of weaponization and arms race in outer space; Work together to solve the problems of anti-personnel mines and explosive remnants of war; Strengthen cooperation in the implementation of international arms control treaties.

(7) enhancing mutual understanding between Chinese and European legislatures.

The relationship between the National People’s Congress of China and the parliaments of EU member states and the European Parliament is an important part of China-EU relations. The Government of China welcomes and supports the legislative bodies of both sides to strengthen exchanges and dialogues on the basis of mutual respect, deepening understanding, seeking common ground while reserving differences and developing cooperation.

(8) Increase exchanges between political parties in China and Europe.

The Government of China would like to see the major political parties, parliamentary groups and regional political party organizations in the European Union increase exchanges and cooperation with the Communist Party of China (CPC) on the basis of the principles of independence, complete equality, mutual respect and non-interference in each other’s internal affairs.

Second, the economic aspect

(1) Economic and trade cooperation

China is committed to developing dynamic and long-term stable economic and trade cooperation between China and Europe, and expects the EU to become China’s largest trade and investment partner:

-Give full play to the mechanism of the Mixed Economic and Trade Committee and strengthen the dialogue on economic and trade supervision policies; Consider updating the China-EU Trade and Economic Cooperation Agreement in due course; Using WTO rules, properly solve unreasonable restrictions and technical barriers, relax restrictions on high-tech exports, and give full play to the great potential of technical and trade cooperation; Give China "full market economy status" as soon as possible, reduce and eliminate anti-dumping and related discriminatory policies and practices against China, and use "special safeguard measures" with caution; Reasonable compensation for the loss of China’s economic and trade interests due to EU enlargement.

China welcomes banks of EU member countries to expand their business in China and hopes to properly solve the market access problem of China financial institutions in the EU.

China will actively examine the applications of insurance institutions of EU member States for business in China in accordance with insurance laws and WTO commitments, and improve the regulatory system.

Strengthen cooperation in securities legislation, market supervision and investment operation, encourage more securities institutions, fund management institutions and other institutional investors from EU member countries to enter the China market, also encourage China securities institutions to enter the EU securities market when conditions are ripe, and actively support China enterprises to enter the EU securities market for financing.

August sales broke through the 20,000 mark, Xingyue L spoke with strength

In the latest sales data released, Xingyue L solidified its sales champion position in China’s fuel SUV market in August with an astonishing 22,376 units sold. This brilliant record is not only a strong proof of its excellent product strength, but also a wide recognition of its deeply rooted safety concept and solid safety performance.

Safety, as one of the core elements that consumers pay most attention to when purchasing a car, Xingyue L has shown the industry’s leading level in this regard. Its participation in the "China’s first fully loaded 30-ton truck rollover top pressure public test" is undoubtedly an extreme challenge to safety performance. In this rigorous test jointly organized by the authoritative organization China Automotive Research and Geely Automobile, Xingyue L successfully withstood the heavy damage of rollover top pressure with its solid body structure and excellent compression resistance. After the test, the vehicle can still start running normally, the four doors are unobstructed to open, and the main driver’s survival space is maintained well. This is undoubtedly the best interpretation of its safety and stability under extreme working conditions.

The Xingyue L uses a submarine-type cage-type body structure design, which greatly enhances the overall rigidity and safety of the body. In terms of body material selection, high-strength steel accounts for up to 79%, including 22% of ultra-high-strength thermoformed steel. The application of these high-strength materials at key stress points such as A-pillars, B-pillars, and thresholds allows the body to maintain excellent stability and deformation resistance when subjected to external forces.

In addition to its excellent passive safety performance, the Xingyue L is also equipped with a wealth of active safety configurations, such as automatic driving assistance systems, automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assistance, blind spot monitoring, etc. The addition of these high-tech equipment greatly enhances the vehicle’s active risk avoidance ability and driving safety during driving. At the same time, the vehicle is also equipped with 6 airbags and preloaded seat belts and other passive safety devices, providing all-round and multi-level protection for drivers and passengers.

It is based on this safety design concept and excellent safety performance that Xingyue L has won widespread praise and trust in the market. Its record sales in August is the best feedback from the market for the strength of this excellent product. Looking forward to the future, Xingyue L is expected to continue to maintain its strong market competitiveness and lead the hybrid vehicle market to a higher level with more intelligent and safe product features.

Xiaomi’s latest TV resolution is less than 1080P? What should we pay attention to when buying a TV?

Since the TV entered our family, it has brought a lot of enjoyment to our lives, and with the development of technology, the price of TV sets has gradually begun to drop. As a "price butcher", Xiaomi recently launched a new entry-level monitor – Xiaomi TV EA32, model L32MA-E, with Unibody metal body, starting at 599 yuan.

The new EA32 is equipped with a 32-inch full screen, supports a 60Hz refresh rate, and uses a quad-core processor. The storage specification is less than 1GB + 8GB, supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi, has 2 USB interfaces, 1 HDMI interface, AV interface, etc., and runs the MIUI for TV 3.0 system.

The overall cost performance is still very good, but the resolution of the new product is only 1366×768, which is relatively low. Even if it is used as a flat replacement monitor, it feels just passable. If you don’t care about image quality or rent a house and just want to buy a TV, you can still buy this one. For friends who want to get a better experience, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points when purchasing a TV.

1 clarity

The definition of the TV is the resolution of the TV, the higher the resolution, the clearer the TV picture will be, and now there are many 4K TVs on the market. If the budget is enough, it is better to start directly, which can bring better visual enjoyment. In addition, you have to pay attention to the phenomenon of true and false 4K, real 4K effective pixels 8.40 million, fake 4K only 6.15 million, if the merchant writes 4-color 4K, then it is fake 4K.

2 image quality

Image quality is the core performance of every TV, and the image quality is naturally comfortable when it looks good. TV image quality is mainly affected by two factors, one is the image quality processing technology based on hardware, and the other is the optimization based on software, both of which are equally important. Of course, if you want to simply choose a TV with good image quality, Luxgen chooses MiniLED panel, 120Hz resolution, color gamut greater than 93% DCI-P3, light control partition technology, and motion compensation technology, which basically meets these major needs. TV image quality will not be worse.

3 sound effects

TV sound quality should be considered well, first of all, the power should be large, and the choice of high power above 10W can basically meet the needs of the living room or bedroom; secondly, there should be independent cavity sound; finally, if the budget is sufficient, choose Dolby sound effects, DYTS, etc., which can improve the actual effect of sound effects and make the listening experience more intense.

4 sizes

The viewing distance is 2.5-3 meters, choose a 55-inch or 65-inch TV;

The viewing distance is 3-3.5 meters, choose a 65-85 inch TV;

The viewing distance is 3.5-4 meters, choose a 75-98 inch TV;

With a viewing distance of 4-4.5 meters, choose an 85-110 inch TV.

Of course, this suggestion is not very accurate. If conditions permit, it is still recommended to experience the viewing experience of different sizes of TVs offline before purchasing.

5 Hardware

Hardware includes processors, memory, interfaces, and so on.

The processor mainly affects the running speed and fluency of the TV system. At present, the mainstream mid-to-high-end is the A73 quad-core processor, followed by the A53 dual-core + A73 dual-core and A55 quad-core. You can refer to and compare more.

Memory can be divided into random access memory and storage memory. Random access memory mainly affects the smoothness of the TV operating system. Generally speaking, 2GB is enough; storage memory is the capacity that can be stored inside the TV. If you like to install various APPs or download things, it is recommended to choose large memory.

Of course, the richer the interface, the better. The most common ones are HDMI, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, WIFI5.0G, antenna input, AV input, etc. If you like to play games, it is recommended to choose an HDMI2.1 interface.
