　　According to Asahi Shimbun, the Japanese government held a cabinet meeting on April 13th, and formally decided to discharge nuclear waste water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant which is harmful to the marine environment. Zhao Lijian, spokesman of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at the press conference on April 12 that "China should be responsible for the international public interest, which is also responsible for the interests of its own people." The Japanese government’s decision to discharge nuclear waste water into the ocean obviously lacks a highly responsible public spirit, which is not only detrimental to the marine ecological environment, but also threatens the common security and interests of neighboring countries and even the international community.

　　The nuclear waste water that the Japanese government decided to discharge into the ocean this time originated from the Fukushima nuclear leak 10 years ago. On March 11th, 2011, a 9.0-magnitude earthquake occurred in the northeastern waters of Japan, which triggered a tsunami, resulting in nuclear leakage at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and core meltdowns occurred in three reactors. In order to cool the damaged core, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant had to inject a lot of seawater. These seawater and a large amount of groundwater and rainwater infiltrated into the reactor form nuclear wastewater, which is packed in special water storage tanks. According to "Tokyo News" reported on April 9, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant adds 140 tons of nuclear wastewater every day. At present, the total amount of nuclear wastewater exceeds 1.25 million tons and there are more than 1,000 water storage tanks. According to the Japanese side, by the autumn of 2022, the storage tank for storing nuclear wastewater will reach the upper limit, so the Japanese government is eager to deal with it.

　　Obviously, the Japanese government has not really paid attention to the voice of opposition at home and abroad. In June 2016, an expert meeting organized by the Japanese government proposed five ways to treat nuclear wastewater, including dumping into the ocean and burying underground.It is not that there is no other way to treat it, but dumping it into the ocean is the lowest cost and the least time-consuming, so the Japanese government has been seeking to treat nuclear wastewater through this way, but up to now, the Japanese government has not won the support of public opinion at home and abroad.For example, a poll released by Asahi Shimbun on January 3 this year showed that 55% of the respondents "opposed" dumping nuclear wastewater into the ocean; Japan’s National Fisheries Organization and local people in Fukushima Prefecture have also held protests many times in the past few years, arguing that discharging nuclear wastewater into the sea will have a serious impact on agriculture, forestry and aquatic products around Fukushima. In addition, five United Nations human rights experts issued a joint statement on March 11th, warning that "discharging nuclear waste water into the sea will increase children’s health risks, which is equivalent to human rights violations." A spokesman for the South Korean Foreign Ministry said at a press conference on April 12 that Japan’s discharge of nuclear waste water into the sea "will have a direct or indirect impact on the Korean people and the surrounding environment". Greenpeace, an international organization that has long been committed to protecting the environment, has repeatedly urged the Japanese government to be cautious in dealing with nuclear wastewater. Obviously,The Japanese government’s official decision to discharge nuclear waste water into the sea today not only lacks a solid public opinion base at home, but also is widely criticized and questioned overseas, which is undoubtedly detrimental to others.

　　It is true that the Japanese government has repeatedly stressed that the nuclear waste water discharged into the ocean is "treated" and "meets the corresponding standards", but the Japanese government obviously ignores that the impact of nuclear pollution is long-term and unknown.Japan, which often defines itself as "the only victim of nuclear weapons in the world", knows that the impact of nuclear pollution on human beings and the natural environment is long-lasting, especially many sequelae and side effects are difficult to completely eliminate even after more than ten years.The impact of nuclear wastewater on global fish migration, human health, offshore fishing and ecological security is unpredictable. For example, Minamata disease caused by industrial wastewater discharge pollution occurred in Japan in the 1950s. At that time, the Japanese thought that industrial sewage could be diluted by the ocean, but the result was that industrial sewage was not diluted by the ocean, but it also led to serious physical obstacles, mental disorders and even death of people near Minamata Bay in Kumamoto Prefecture. Today, the Japanese government promises that the nuclear waste water discharged into the ocean will "meet the standards", but who can guarantee that similar Minamata disease will not happen in the future? What’s more, the Minamata disease was only concentrated in some parts of Japan, and the nuclear waste water discharged into the ocean would spread to the whole Pacific Ocean and have a huge butterfly effect. It can be said that the Japanese government’s discharge of nuclear waste water into the sea is not a simple internal affair of Japan. After all, its impact has already crossed national boundaries and will "radiate" the public safety and interests of neighboring countries and even the international community. Obviously, the Japanese government needs to uphold a responsible attitude towards its own people, neighboring countries and the international community, and thoroughly evaluate the possible impact of discharging nuclear waste water, instead of making hasty decisions.

　　Since joining the United Nations in 1956, Japan has been committed to building itself into a "responsible big country". Obviously, dumping domestic nuclear waste water into the Pacific Ocean is not only not the proper performance of a responsible country, but also will lower Japan’s credibility and image in the international community. On the issue of nuclear waste water treatment, Japan should not willfully "throw it all away", but should handle it carefully and properly to ensure the joint participation of all parties concerned to avoid further damage to the marine environment, food safety and human health.

[Network media changes] Land circulation, rural development and vitality, and tomatoes planted in mountain springs are ＂sweet＂ at home and abroad.

　　Whether it is Wulian Village, Songshugang Village or Guanbei Village, the new changes and new features brought by the new rural construction have made everyone feel the hope from the new socialist countryside. At the same time, the construction of new countryside is a time of progress rather than completion, not only in these three rural areas in southern Guangdong, but also in the new era.

　　Future Network (www.k618.cn Central News Website) Guangzhou, January 21st (Reporter Liang Xili) Wulian Village, Zhongxin Town, Zengcheng District, Guangzhou was once a poor village. Chen Yimin, secretary of the Party Committee of Zhongxin Town, said that the villagers could not even support themselves by growing vegetables and grain. Many villagers have gone out to work because of poverty.

　　"Because there is neither real estate nor industrial and commercial planning in the master plan of Wulian Village, we can only do a good job in agriculture and rural areas honestly." Chen Yimin said.

　　How can we develop well?

　　It was pointed out in the report of the 19th National Congress that the rural revitalization strategy should be implemented.

　　It is necessary to give priority to the development of agriculture and rural areas, establish and improve the system, mechanism and policy system of urban-rural integration development, and accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas in accordance with the general requirements of industrial prosperity, ecological livability, rural civilization, effective governance and affluent life.

　　In the general requirements of rural revitalization strategy, "industrial prosperity" ranks first, which makes Chen Yi sensitive to excitement and comfort. She said: "Without the development of industry, there will be no way out in rural areas, and Wulian Village will always be poor."

　　Nowadays, Wulian Village makes full use of idle land on the basis of industrial development, and introduces modern ecological agriculture such as "green natural hydroponic vegetable base", "Asian horticultural flower field" and "cherry blossom planting base".

　　Recently, in the 2018 "New Era, New Dream" online media going to the grassroots (Guangdong Station) activity hosted by the Central Network Information Office and hosted by the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee Network Information Office, the reporters of Future Network walked into the typical villages of Guangdong’s new era and new countryside construction with the interview group, witnessing the new countryside, new construction and new development on the land of South Guangdong.

　　Glad to "implement the rural revitalization strategy": without developing industries, there is no way out for the countryside.

　　Wulian Village, located in the middle of Zhongxin Town, covers an area of 16 square kilometers. The transportation in the village is convenient. The North Third Ring Expressway under construction crosses the border, and the intersection of Guanghe Expressway is only 6 kilometers away from Wulian Village. It is also the village with the largest rural registered population in Zhongxin Town.

　　Members of the press corps walked into the hydroponic vegetable base in Wulian Village. Looking far away, the base looks like a transparent house with green vegetables. The new hydroponics technology replaces the traditional land cultivation, and vegetables can be produced all day, sowing and harvesting every day. Covering an area of only 100 mu, this vegetable base can harvest 24 periods a year, and the yield per mu can reach 2000 kg, which is nearly five times that of the same area of land.

　　At present, Wulian village has completed the confirmation of rural land, and the green natural hydroponic vegetable base has newly transferred 200 mu of contiguous planting land, which further strengthens large-scale agricultural production.

　　When the land is transferred, the villagers not only have land income, but also solve the employment problem.

　　Chen Yimin introduced that these farm work (in the base) are all good at by farmers. Some women who need to take care of their families and can’t go out to work can work as industrial workers in the base nearby. The labor intensity is not great, and the working environment is comfortable. You can get more than 3,000 yuan a month.

　　In the base, the reporter also tasted hydroponic tomatoes planted with mountain spring water. In the greenhouse, these tomatoes are different in size and color. And the most expensive tomato varieties, a catty can also be sold to 60 yuan, and even has stepped onto the dining table of people in many developed countries.

　　The combination of agriculture and tourism allows villagers to have seeds and tourists to play.

　　Under the Luofu Mountain, the trees are shaded and the ponds are crystal clear. Songshugang Village in Boluo County, Huizhou City is located here. As one of the demonstration sites of new countryside in Guangdong Province, Songshugang Village makes full use of its unique geographical environment and rich natural resources, vigorously engages in agricultural investment, guides villagers to plant pollution-free agricultural products, and develops agricultural tourism.

　　In the "Three-dimensional Agricultural Park of Vitality" in Songshugang Village, the reporter group saw the "air pastoral" agricultural area. Cai Haizhang, the person in charge of the project, introduced new planting patterns such as "borrowing land from heaven", which made the benefit of one acre of land 8 ~ 10 times that of ordinary planting patterns.

　　Not only that, in the "air garden", fruits and vegetables follow the principle of "zero pollution and zero tolerance" in the planting process, and no pesticides, hormones, fertilizers and genetically modified engineering technologies are used at all.

　　At present, the village has established a modern agricultural production base of more than 3,000 mu, mainly planting fruits, flowers and special crops. In addition to the "air pastoral", there are vineyards and dragon orchards, forming a contiguous ecological sightseeing agricultural belt.

　　With a good ecological environment and a unique agricultural foundation, Songshugang Village vigorously develops rural tourism.

　　It is understood that in 2016, the village received about 150,000 tourists, an increase of 88%, and the comprehensive tourism income reached more than 5 million yuan; The village collective income was 290,000 yuan, an increase of 16%; The per capita net income of farmers was 25,580 yuan, an increase of 25.1%.

　　With the development of rural tourism, the villagers’ pockets are bulging. Songshugang Village has a new vision in the development and exploration of rural tourism: when conditions are ripe, it will introduce professional tourism management service companies to manage and operate the tourism projects in the whole village, improve the economic benefits of tourism, make the rural tourism in the village bigger, stronger and more distinctive, and truly realize the development goals of beautiful environment, strong collective and rich villagers.

　　Civilization construction makes the village in the city realize a beautiful turn

　　Through the way of "culture+",the civilization construction and the new rural construction are organically combined, which makes the "dirty and messy" urban village in the past become a "cultural village". Guanbei Village in Huizhou City can be described as a vivid sample of the new rural construction. Guanbei village has a total area of 0.3 square kilometers and a population of about 1025. This village with its back to Dongjiang is now a mural village.

　　In less than a year, more than 500 murals gradually decorated the original mottled village road wall, with themes ranging from rule by France and Germany to Chinese dream, from Hakka culture to Chinese traditional stories; Vacant housing resources are revitalized and leased to cultural teams and social organizations as creative places, and beautiful and chic courtyards replace the original dilapidated houses; Old houses are decorated as cultural stations for villagers to learn to charge.

　　The appearance of the previously mediocre village has been greatly improved, and it has attracted many cultural and creative groups and institutions to settle in. These institutions and organizations have also activated and utilized the housing resources in the village, adding cultural charm to the beautiful Guanbei village.

　　The change of village appearance has further affected the construction of rural civilization in Guanbei Village. Sun Wuyou, an old party member, told reporters: "It’s very different from before. Now in the village, there is no problem if the car is not locked."

　　Looking at Guanbei Village in front of us, who would have thought that this village was once labeled as "distracted, polluted, bad public security, abandoned by everyone"?

　　Whether it is Wulian Village, Songshugang Village or Guanbei Village, the new changes and new features brought by the new rural construction have made everyone feel the hope from the new socialist countryside. At the same time, the construction of new countryside is a time of progress rather than completion, not only in these three rural areas in southern Guangdong, but also in the new era.

[Hot spot] Traffickers are caught! ＂Lonely Lost＂ welcomes the reunion ＂sequel＂, and Andy Lau sends blessings.

In 1997, the prototype of the film "Lonely" was Guo Gangtang

Guo Xinzhen, the youngest son at the age of two and a half, was abducted.

After 24 years of hard work.

On July 11th, Guo Gangtang and his wife met their son.

The family hugged each other tightly, and tears flowed …

The police introduced the details of the case detection

Two suspects have been arrested.

On the 13th, the Ministry of Public Security held a press conference to introduce the detection of the prototype trafficking case of the film "Lonely Lost": Guo Xinzhen, the prototype of the abducted child in the film, was found by the public security organs and the suspect was arrested by the police.

In September 1997, after Guo Xinzhen was abducted, the public security organs in Liaocheng, Shandong Province immediately set up a task force to carry out their work. Due to the conditions at that time, the case could not be detected in time.

In 2000, when the DNA technology was applied to the abduction work, the police collected the DNA information of Mr. and Mrs. Guo Gangtang in time for comparison.

In mid-June this year, new progress was made in the case. The suspected whereabouts of Guo Xinzhen were found in Henan, and the identity of Guo Xinzhen was finally confirmed through DNA comparison through blood collection.

With the strong cooperation of the local public security organs, Hu (male, 56 years old, from Henan) was identified as the suspect in the case, and his girlfriend Tang (female, 45 years old, from Shandong) was suspected of committing a major crime.

After investigation, in 1997, the suspects Hu and Tang met and fell in love. In September, they conspired to kidnap a boy for money while traveling in Shandong. On September 21, the two men fled to Liaocheng, Shandong Province, and Hu waited near the bus station. Tang went out to find the target of the crime, took Guo Xinzhen, who was playing alone at home, away, and then returned to Henan by long-distance bus with Hu, who sold Guo Xinzhen. At present, the case is under further investigation.

△ The picture shows the suspects Hu and Tang.

Andy Lau sent a video blessing.

"Guo Dage, I’m so happy for you!"

On July 11th, the public security organs held a ceremony to recognize Guo Gangtang and Guo Xinzhen’s family, and the family separated for 24 years was finally reunited. After hearing the news, Andy Lau, the actor of Guo Gangtang’s prototype in the movie "Lonely Lost", specially recorded a blessing video, "Brother Guo, I’m so happy for you!" And said that the persistence of more than 20 years has finally not been disappointed, very happy, and very exciting!

On the 11th, the day of recognition, Guo Gangtang updated a dynamic on the social platform: "Today is very important for me."

When asked how to get along with his son’s adoptive parents in the future, Guo Gangtang said, "Just be a relative, and walk around like this, just two words: sincerity." Guo Gangtang said that if the child is willing to be filial to the adoptive parents, the Guo family will accept it frankly and sincerely respect the child’s decision.

More than 20 years have passed through the north and south of the river.

Ten motorcycles have been scrapped.

On September 21st, 1997, Guo Gangtang’s two-and-a-half-year-old son Guo Xinzhen was abducted in Litaitun Village, Liaocheng, Shandong. Guo Gangtang knelt down to the villagers at that time and begged them to help him find the children. Within a month, Guo Gangtang’s weight dropped from 149 Jin to more than 110 Jin, and at the age of 27, he soon turned white.

△ Guo Xinzhen’s childhood photos

"Boy, there is a scald scar between the little toe of his left foot and the foot surface, and there are obvious sharp points on the outside of his ears. Have you seen such a child? " I don’t know how many times this question has been repeated by Guo Gangtang, who always holds a hope when asking once.

Later, Guo Gangtang decided to go out alone to find a son. He rode a motorcycle from village to village and lived in a graveyard and a street. Except Xinjiang and Tibet, he has traveled all over the other provinces, and in some places he even ran more than once, scrapping 10 motorcycles.

"Only on the road,

I am a father. "

On the way to find a child, hope and disappointment appear alternately. Guo Gangtang had the idea of suicide and met good people. One night, Guo Gangtang was riding a bike, but the lights were broken. I don’t know when a car has been following him. He got off the bus and asked. As a result, the other party said, "I think you are looking for a child, so I just want to give you a light in the back."

These "good" were carefully recorded in Guo Gangtang’s notebook. He said that it was these strangers who warmed him again and again that made him feel that he was not alone in finding his son.

△ The picture shows Guo Gangtang’s book

He once said in an interview: "China is so big that finding a child is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But looking for a needle in a haystack, I can also have a hope. Only on the road, I am a father … "

Help the police find more than 100 children.

"I hope there is no turning in the world."

During the 24-year course of searching for children, Guo Gangtang actively participated in the voluntary activities of abduction while riding a motorcycle to find children in many places and across hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and timely fed back the collected information of missing abducted children to the public security organs. Through the clues he provided, the public security organs have recovered more than 100 children who have been abducted for many years.

Guo Gangtang said: "I have been thinking all the way, and I have compiled a lot of popular science knowledge about anti-abduction and child safety to share with you. I hope that there will be no abduction in the world and all families will be reunited."

Now, the father who has been on the road can finally reunite with the child in the photo behind the motorcycle.

Running from 27 to 51

Now, Guo Gangtang can finally end his long search for children.

May there be no abduction in the world and family reunion.

The new Zhiji LS6 with high price and excellent price allows Zhiji to take off in an all-round way

As smart driving gradually enters the era of popularization, what are car companies competing for intelligence?

Zhiji gave a different idea. On September 26, the new Zhiji LS6 was officially launched, and a total of five configuration versions of full-dimensional intelligence were launched.

The price range is 21.69-27 9,900 yuan, and the high matching price shocks the audience. The new car has been significantly upgraded in chassis and intelligence. For example, the new car is equipped with "Lizard Digital Chassis" and "Smart Four-wheel Steering System", and the whole series is equipped with NVIDIA Orin X chip and ultra-long-range lidar.

Image 147.jpg

Standing in a higher dimension beyond technology, with the new Zhiji LS6, Zhiji is moving towards a new height in the field of intelligence, especially in the second half of new energy, where innovative technologies such as intelligent driving, intelligent networking, and intelligent cockpit continue to emerge. What kind of intelligent products are created is the key to the differentiation of car companies in the second half of the final.

Seize the next intelligent high ground

Zhiji co-CEO Liu Tao said that the next intelligent competition direction must be the intelligent chassis, and the digital chassis of Linglizard is the highlight of the new Zhiji LS6.

According to the official introduction, the new Zhiji LS6 is the first mid-to-large SUV in the same class equipped with both the "Lizard Digital Chassis" and the "Smart Four-Wheel Steering System". The biggest difference in the Lizard Digital Chassis is probably the rare digital chassis with active rear wheel steering function in new energy vehicles under 300,000 yuan on the market.

Image 148.jpg

Specific to the use scenario, the Lizard Digital Chassis can achieve no bumps up and down, more stable and softer body feeling, and a flat driving experience in terms of impact filtration of speed bumps, vibration absorption of complex road surfaces, and comfort of damaged road surfaces. This kind of driving experience is said to be comparable to millions of benchmark models.

In fact, before the new Zhiji LS6, the Lizard chassis had been the first to be installed on the Zhiji L6, and this time on the new Zhiji LS6, the Lizard digital chassis not only supports crab travel, single-theory escape, active anti-rollover, body stability control, but also in the future through OTA to achieve in-situ U-turn, lateral translation and other functions.

Image 149.jpg

The intelligent chassis that Zhiji has bet on has made Zhiji’s imagination even more space. Liu Tao once said that the appearance of the digital chassis of Linglizard revolutionizes the working mode of the car chassis hardware in the past. It transforms the intelligent team collaboration, integrating a series of chassis system control modules such as the intelligent four-wheel steering system, the electronic shock absorber CDC, the air spring, and the electric drive system, which are uniformly regulated by a set of algorithms.

In other words, the digital chassis does not add new functions on the basis of traditional chassis thinking, but better integrates the intelligent functions of various plates on the intelligent base of the whole vehicle, and technological innovation has reached an unprecedented new height.

More importantly, the digital chassis of the spirit lizard had the ability to evolve over the entire life cycle. The advantage was that it could be used frequently through subsequent upgrades, and the digital chassis of the spirit lizard itself could control the entire chassis system, drive system, and intelligent driving system together. A more coordinated and accurate system that was closer to the "human brain" had been born.

In fact, in addition to smart self, many car brands have brought smart chassis to the table, but in comparison, the technological change of smart self will be more significant.

Image 150.jpg

First, the spirit lizard digital chassis itself has a number of black technology, this has a profound significance in the industry; second, with the listing of the new Zhiji LS6, the spirit lizard digital chassis allows the intelligent chassis to enter the 200,000 level, with technological innovation, the intelligent chassis will be brought into the era of technological equality.

Intelligent driving, intelligent self-confidence

Intelligent driving is also an important label for wisdom.

Since the release of the Zhiji brand in 2021, Zhiji Automobile has always been a leader in smart driving. At the end of 2023, Zhiji Automobile became the first domestic car companies to obtain L3 road test licenses. Zhiji IM AD 3.0 is also the only self-developed player in the industry to complete the Xavier/Orin high and low computing power dual platform. Through continuous model optimization, the model operation efficiency has been increased by 500% and the computing power demand has been reduced by 90%.

Image 151.jpg

Zhiji Automobile’s IMAD map-free city NOA also has an important position in the industry. At present, there are only 4 companies in the industry that have truly realized the implementation of map-free NOA technology nationwide, namely Huawei, Ideal, Xiaopeng and Zhiji. In other words, using the innate advantages of end-to-end large model algorithms to take the lead in deployment, full data-driven, and rapid iterative evolution, in just 2 years, Zhiji has entered the first echelon of smart driving.

With such a set of data, it is possible to more intuitively demonstrate the leadership of intelligent driving.

According to official data, the safety level of intelligent driving in IM AD has reached 6.7 times that of human driving: the safety level of intelligent driving in IM AD has reached 6.7 times that of human driving; users with 30% of intelligent driving mileage have 3.1 times the safe driving mileage of users who have never used intelligent driving.

At present, the cumulative usage rate of Zhiji users is 91.38%, the user mileage penetration rate is 23.50%, the per capita cumulative mileage of TOP10 users is 70859km, the mileage penetration rate of TOP10 users is 54.21%, the longest mileage of a bicycle is 1404km in a single day, and the longest mileage of a bicycle is 12.6 hours in a single day. These data can show that Zhiji is more reliable and common in intelligent driving.

In terms of specific products, the new Zhiji LS6 series is equipped with NVIDIA Orin X chip and ultra-long-range lidar. Among them, OrinX intelligent auxiliary driving chip, the computing power reaches 254TOPS; 27 sensing units, including an ultra-long-range high-precision lidar, some industry experts believe that this system can achieve hardware level for 5 years.

Image 152.jpg

According to the official statement, Zhiji IM AD advanced intelligent driving has upgraded the end-to-end large-scale model of "smart driving spot" NOA in cities without pictures, which will be opened nationwide in October; coupled with the newly launched "AVP one-click valet parking", it can achieve full coverage of various road conditions including island/U-turn/ETC toll stations.

In other respects, the Smart Self LS6 has also been adjusted. For example, the new LS6 also brings innovative experiences. "Rainy Night Mode 2.0" can AI identify water on the road and raise the air suspension in advance. "Falcon Smart Lighting System" can not only eliminate blind spots in night driving, but also "continuously flash ghost probes" to remind drivers and pedestrians to pay attention to risks and improve driving safety.

In addition, the new Zhiji LS6 has also made great efforts in replenishing energy. The new car adopts a quasi-900V, 800V, and 400V three-platform strategy, with a CLTC cruising range of up to 802km and a charging of 575 kilometers in 15 minutes. At the same time, there are also "dual motors" and a full-stack self-developed integrated thermal management system to comprehensively improve the performance of the three electricity.

When the new energy competition comes to the second half, focusing on deep intelligence, Zhiji Automobile has opened up a new path and is at the forefront of the industry. With Zhiji’s increasingly mature intelligent R & D system and the improvement of the product matrix, we also believe that early betting on intelligent Zhiji Automobile can show unexpected explosive power in the second half of new energy.

＂Foreign garbage＂ dispute escalated! Philippines ordered to reduce official interaction with Canada.

　　CCTV News:On May 26, Philippine Presidential Spokesman Panello confirmed to the media that Philippine Civil Service Chief Salvador Medi Jartti signed a memorandum on May 20, ordering Philippine ministers, heads of institutions, state-owned holding companies and heads of government financial institutions not to issue travel permits to Canada, and at the same time asking government officials to reduce official interaction with the Canadian government.

　　This is the further escalation of the garbage dispute between the Philippines and Canada after the Philippines recalled its diplomats in Canada on May 16. Panello said that the Philippine government’s order aims to emphasize the seriousness of the Philippine government on the issue of "foreign garbage" and requires Canada to immediately retrieve the garbage containers illegally shipped to the Philippines.

　　It is understood that between 2013 and 2014, a Canadian company exported 103 containers containing allegedly "recyclable plastics" to the Philippines, but after inspection by the Philippine Customs, 69 of them contained a large amount of electronic product waste and kitchen waste. The Philippines accused Canada of violating the Basel Convention by exporting and transferring hazardous wastes to the Philippines, and repeatedly urged Canada to transport the garbage back. At the end of last month, Philippine President Duterte once again urged Canada to ship the garbage back as soon as possible and set May 15th as the "deadline". However, the Canadian government has always taken no substantive action on the grounds that "legal procedures are time-consuming". So on the 16th, the Philippines announced the recall of its ambassador to Canada in protest. (CCTV reporter Tao Jiale)

　　"Foreign garbage" triggered a diplomatic dispute between the Philippines and Canada. The Philippines recalled its ambassador to Canada

　　On the 16th, the Philippines suddenly announced the recall of its ambassador to Canada to protest Canada’s delay in transporting the garbage stranded in the Philippines back to its home country.

　　Some environmental protection experts in the Philippines pointed out that garbage disposal is a global environmental protection problem, and transferring garbage to developing countries cannot solve the problem. Developing countries should say no to "foreign garbage"! Detailed > >

The world needs emerging economies.

    On February 8th, PricewaterhouseCoopers published a report entitled "The World in 2050: How to Change the Global Economic Order". The report predicts that by 2050, the global economic center of gravity will shift from G7 to E7, and emerging economies will become the engines of global economic development.

　　In this regard, this newspaper contacted John Hawkesworth, the chief contributor of the report and chief economist of PricewaterhouseCoopers. He said that emerging economies will dominate in the 21st century. It is predicted that by 2050, China will be the largest economy in the world.

　　(G7: refers to the seven major industrial countries, including the United States, Japan, Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Canada)

　　(E7: Seven emerging economies, including China, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia and Turkey)

　　

　　Emerging economies are optimistic

　　According to the British "Financial Times" report, emerging economies and developed countries in the post-crisis era began to transform their strength in the global economy. At present, developed countries still have an advantage in economic volume, but they have begun to make a turning point in incremental contribution.

　　"In the nine years since the outbreak of the international financial crisis, it is not the West that has made the greatest contribution to the world economy. Emerging economies and developing countries, including BRICS countries, contribute more than 80% to the world economy, while western countries contribute less than 20%. " He Maochun, director of Tsinghua University Economic and Diplomatic Research Center, said in an interview with this newspaper.

　　Since the financial crisis in 2008, the economic situation in developed countries is not as good as before. The British "Financial Times" said that Professor Hall of Stanford University in the United States published an article on "Long-term Weakness", indicating that the economic prospects of the United States are not optimistic. According to the report "The World in 2050: How the Global Economic Order Changes" by PricewaterhouseCoopers, by 2050, the share of 27 EU countries in global GDP may fall below 10%.

　　Some international economic organizations are generally optimistic about emerging economies. In January, the World Economic Outlook report showed that economic activity in 2017-2018 is expected to accelerate after the downturn in 2016. Among them, the main reason for the enhanced global economic prospects is the acceleration of growth expectations in emerging economies.

　　Jim O ‘Neill, the "father of BRICS", said in an interview with the BBC that "the world economy has undergone tremendous changes, and emerging economies have played a more important role in international affairs (especially economic affairs). The performance of the BRICS countries now exceeds the original expectations, and this is mainly because of China. "

　　China is regarded as a leader in the development of emerging economies. He Maochun said, "Since the international financial crisis, China has contributed 30% to the world economy. Judging from the speed of economic development and the average value of the world economy, China is the biggest contributor to the global economic recovery. " The World Economic Outlook report in January predicted that China, the world’s second largest economy, would increase its GDP growth rate by 0.3 percentage points to 6.5% in 2017.

　　There are many reasons for the transformation of strength

　　Since the financial crisis, structural contradictions in the economies of developed countries have become prominent. Jiang Ruiping, director of the Department of International Economics of the School of Foreign Affairs, said in an interview with this newspaper, "After the financial crisis in 2008, some structural problems in developed countries broke out. Since 2009, the economies of these countries have begun to experience overall negative growth, and European countries have fallen into a sovereign debt crisis, resulting in a vicious circle of financial crisis and financial crisis. "

　　"Emerging economies have seized the opportunity of a new round of globalization and have effectively integrated into the process of economic globalization. Among them, China is more representative. " Jiang Rui ping said.

　　Emerging economies have broad advantages in attracting corporate investment. John Hawkesworth said that the development of emerging economies will create many business opportunities for enterprises. PricewaterhouseCoopers’ World in 2050: How the Global Economic Order Changed’ reports that emerging economies are more attractive, and they have significantly improved their environmental conditions in the past decade, becoming more and more areas worth investing in.

　　Gideon Rahman discussed the basis for the transformation of economic strength between emerging economies and developed countries from the perspective of population. He wrote in the Financial Times that an important reason for the transfer of economic power lies in population. By 2025, about two-thirds of the world’s population will live in Asia. In contrast, the United States will account for about 5% of the world’s population and the European Union will account for about 7%.

　　Emerging economies have great room for economic development. He Maochun said, "Developing countries have more advantages in infrastructure construction, manufacturing industry, logistics industry, social public service construction and service trade. Emerging countries will have fewer difficulties and more impetus for economic growth. It can be predicted that in the next five to ten years, emerging countries will still be in a period of rapid growth. "

　　The economic pattern has changed significantly.

　　While developed countries introduced trade protection policies, emerging economies began to strengthen cooperation and "warm up". According to Sputnik’s report on February 8th, in recent years, some Latin American economies have shown greater economic and political independence, greatly reducing their dependence on developed countries. After the international financial crisis in 2008, Mexico tried to seize the opportunity to diversify its economy by developing relations with China and others.

　　Emerging economies actively seek their position and voice in the global economy. According to the British "Financial Times" report, in 2010, the International Monetary Fund began to implement share adjustment to increase the share and voting rights of emerging economies such as China and India; In 2016, RMB successfully joined the SDR basket; The expansion of G7 into G20 and China’s successful hosting of the G20 Hangzhou Summit in 2016 all indicate that the right to speak of emerging economies and developing countries has been improved.

　　In addition, new forms of cooperation created by emerging economies, such as the AIIB, the BRICS and the Belt and Road Initiative, have made a useful supplement to the global economic governance system. Together with the original mechanism, these will promote the development of globalization, become an important force to promote trade liberalization, investment facilitation and regional integration, and gradually affect the global economic structure, He Maochun said.

　　Of course, emerging economies still face challenges in boosting global economic development. In this regard, John Hawkesworth said that in the face of political shocks like Brexit and Trump’s coming to power, governments all over the world need stronger leadership to resist trade protectionism and maintain impetus on some long-term issues such as climate change and global poverty reduction.

　　It must be noted that the global economic development is fast and slow, but it is moving forward on the whole. He Maochun said, "In the past, the monopoly of western countries on the global economy made their own economy bear too much burden and neglected the positive force of domestic economic growth. They are also adjusting, and the world will enter a period of reform and adjustment. In the future, China will be the biggest locomotive of the world economy. China’s economy has maintained a new normal, and it is the mainstay of emerging economies. The development of the world economy is increasingly inseparable from the support of China’s economy. "

The Wandering Earth releases imaginative poster Jason Wu Qu Chuxiao launches rocket.

On February 3rd, the film released an imaginative poster full of childlike interest. The "adventure team" once again started the adventure journey, but this time it is no longer a cold and choice of ice and snow, but a gorgeous and fantastic imagination journey. The team broke into the micro-world, and the design with wide brain holes and vivid and interesting ideas outlined the innocent imaginary world, reflecting the clear and innocent childlike innocence and conveying the softness and temperature of the film. At the same time, the film also released a special edition of imagination, and the door to the future world has been opened.

The film will be released nationwide on the first day of New Year’s Day, hoping to plant an imaginative seed in children’s hearts. One day, they will take root, blossom brilliantly and bear fruitful fruits.

　

Don’t give up innocence and let go of imagination. Frant GwoI hope to plant a seed of imagination for the children.

Director Frant Gwo once said: "I hope that children can see science fiction films under our own cultural background, and they can plant a seed of imagination in their hearts. The Wandering Earth may not be perfect, but they can see a general outline, and then they can release their imagination step by step and move forward. "Therefore, the film The Wandering Earth specially released a set of imaginative posters. The future world in the poster has become a colorful world of stationery, food, crops and fireworks, while members of the "adventure team" shuttle through it to perform their tasks, with strong contrast but full of sprouting points.

In the microscopic world of fireworks and firecrackers, rockets are as big as firecrackers. Liu Peiqiang (Jason Wu), dressed in a spacesuit, is checking the data disk on his watch, as if checking the data of rocket launch, while his son Liu Qi (Qu Chuxiao) looks up at the direction of rocket launch. Grandfathers Han Ziang (Ng Man Tat) and Duo Duo (Angel) appear in the microscopic world of food, surrounded by delicious food such as walnuts, lemons and longan.

The members of the 171-11 rescue team led by Chloe Wang (Li Guangjie) set out in the microscopic world of stationery. Crayons, rulers, Rubik’s cubes and plasticine formed a cute and humorous robot, and the tough guy also became cute under its print. In the microscopic world of crops, it is incredible that the planetary engine as high as 11 kilometers in the film is actually made of flour, and the engine mouth is actually an opened egg. The members of the "Adventure Team" walked out of the carrier car to observe the surrounding environment, but the carrier car was no longer a black behemoth, but an invincible and lovely big steamed stuffed bun, and it was no longer a world of ice and snow outside, but a land of hope in late autumn with rice.

　

　Freeing from bondage and flying to Chunhe, the king of freedom: the film inspires teenagers to have imagination.

Along with the poster, there is also a special edition of imagination. In the special edition, the shots of space station, planetary engine and rocket launch are shocking, from words to images, from imagination to reality! The Wandering Earth is a film that looks to the future, starting with wandering, focusing on going home, and finally moving towards the future. Earlier, The Wandering Earth became the first film in the collection of China Science and Technology Museum at the 51st Science Fiction Film Exhibition of the Outline of National Scientific Quality, and I hope the film can bring more people imagination.

Teacher Wang Chunhe, former Minister of Corporate Culture of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and executive director of China Hi-Tech Industrialization Research Association, said with excitement: "The Wandering Earth movies give an important inspiration to young people in China. We should be curious and imaginative." The famous writer Hao Jingfang also shared: "I hope that the next generation of children in China will be enthusiastic not only about space, but also about the overall human scientific exploration, and this exploration in the unknown field of mankind."

Zhong Qiuzhen, a researcher at the National Space Science Center of China Academy of Sciences, shared her feelings about watching movies: "The progress of space in our country can create a lot of ideas for movies, and science fiction movies will also play a good role in a virtuous circle for the next generation of children’s interest in space." Zheng Kai, Vice Minister of Science Popularization Department of China Association for Science and Technology, said: "The Wandering Earth’s blockbuster has made China sci-fi movies no longer stray. I believe that the powerful forces condensed by society will promote the prosperity of popular science culture, make the science fiction industry more prosperous, and let the scientific dreams and seeds of young people soar and thrive, and grow into towering trees.

On the strategy of Jintai： 2024 ＂consumption promotion year＂, how to interpret the consumption mentality and future trend？

On February 2nd, the release and seminar of "2023 Annual Consumption Hotspot Observation Report" (hereinafter referred to as "Report") hosted by People’s Network Research Institute was held in Studio 1 of People’s Network. Combined with the top ten consumption trends and related hot spots summarized in the Report, representatives from China Academy of Social Sciences, China Macroeconomic Research Institute, Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism and Internet consumption platform enterprises launched a round-table discussion around the two themes of "reading consumption mentality, grasping consumption trends" and "improving consumption environment and stimulating consumption potential". The two round-table discussions were hosted by Liao Canliang and Dong Jinzhi, researchers of People’s Network Research Institute respectively.

Cultural tourism consumption is the bright color in the consumption trend in 2023.

Guests generally believe that the consumption of cultural tourism is the bright color in the consumption trend in 2023. Li Zhengjie, director of the public affairs department of Ctrip Group, said that in 2023, important tourist nodes such as May 1 ST, Summer and Eleventh, Ctrip platform travel orders all exceeded 2019. Old-established tourist cities and online celebrity punch-in attractions prosper together. Well-known scenic spots and cities with concentrated tourism resources are still the "hot cakes" of the entire tourism market, and super IPS such as the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the West Lake and Huangshan are hard to find on holidays. At the same time, online celebrity has become a beautiful landscape, and hot spots such as Harbin Ice and Snow, Zibo Barbecue, Luoyang Hanfu, Xuchang Pangdonglai, Guizhou Cunchao, and Tianjin Grandpa frequently brush their screens.

Tang Chengcai, a professor at beijing international studies university Academy of Tourism Sciences, summarized six trends of cultural tourism consumption in 2023: First, the scale recovered rapidly; Second, the diversified development of destinations, the competition pattern between emerging online celebrity and traditional classic destinations will coexist for a long time; Third, the deep integration of cultural tourism consumer products, the integration of sports, art, intangible cultural heritage, agriculture, forestry, ecology and other elements constitutes a huge cultural tourism industry system; Fourth, the emergence of new cultural tourism consumption scenes attracts people of different ages to their destinations; Fifth, the consumption environment has been continuously optimized, and the relevant government departments have solved complaints such as smuggling and bullying in the first time, and the word-of-mouth effect of tourists has been improved; Sixth, the normalization of north passengers going south and south passengers going north. Harbin took the lead in interacting with Guangxi "Little Sugar Orange", which is a win-win situation for different types of tourist destinations. Regardless of south, north, east and west passengers, the interaction between regions has made the cultural tourism market bigger and more active.

The emergence of online celebrity city conforms to the three major trends of industrial structure upgrading.

In view of the rise of online celebrity cities such as Harbin and Zibo in 2023, Hong Qunlian, director of the Institute of Industrial Economics and Technical Economics of China Macroeconomic Research Institute, said that the emergence of online celebrity cities is accidental, but more inevitable. Because it conforms to three major trends: the first is the trend of industrial structure upgrading. Under the guidance of the concept of high-quality development, China’s product and service innovation has been continuously upgraded, and domestic brands have been constantly emerging. Many products and services have changed from popularization and generality to personalization, specialization and quality. The high-quality products of Harbin ice and snow economy have been carefully built for many years, and the "Village Supermarket" in Rongjiang, Guizhou Province retains the original flavor of country football and blends into local special cuisine and national culture. The second is the trend of upgrading the consumption structure. China has entered the pattern of two-wheel drive of commodity consumption and service consumption, and the growth rate of service consumption is faster. "Generation Z" has gradually become the main consumer, pursuing high quality, good price and personalized experience. Different from commodity consumption, service consumption depends more on interpersonal communication and needs to make consumers feel sincere and thoughtful service. The third is that the marketing channel has undergone revolutionary changes. In the new media era, Internet communication has become the mainstream media. On the network platform, many parties participate, and the subject and object cooperate, and the communication effect is obvious. The supplier actively plans to display products through platforms such as Tik Tok, but more driving force comes from the positive feedback after the consumer experience. This kind of driving effect, including the leading role of community leaders in online celebrity, is not available in traditional marketing channels and communication channels.

Zhang Chunyan, the second inspector of Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, introduced four main measures behind the prosperity and development of the cultural tourism industry in Heilongjiang, combining with the typical case of "fancy pet" in Harbin, which set off an upsurge of ice and snow consumption. The first is the top-level design. "Ice and snow are also Jinshan Yinshan", and the ice and snow economy is one of the four new economies in Heilongjiang Province. Since 2022, guiding documents such as the Development Plan of Ice and Snow Economy in Heilongjiang Province (2022-2030), Several Policies and Measures to Support the Development of Ice and Snow Economy in Heilongjiang Province, and 50 Measures to Release the Potential of Tourism Consumption and Promote the High-quality Development of Tourism in Heilongjiang Province have been intensively issued. The second is to optimize product supply. In 2023, two hundred-day actions of summer vacation and ice and snow tourism were carried out, and "100 million" product supply, ten boutique routes, 100 food feasts, thousands of cultural tourism events and ten thousand kinds of good things in Longjiang were put forward, which condensed the high-quality cultural tourism products in Heilongjiang. The third is to build a friendly tourist destination. Conduct full-coverage experience supervision on tourism-related links and give full play to the joint meeting mechanism of tourism work. "Supervision guards a wall, and the problem is not handled overnight". When problems are found, deal with them immediately, leaving no future trouble. The fourth is to increase the promotion. In 2023, 45 promotion conferences outside the province were organized. In recent years, the snow and ice crown tourism alliance established by the head snow and ice tourism enterprises has been continuously promoted to key tourist sources and deepened the market. At the same time, using Internet thinking, interacting with tourist bloggers and big V, driving tourists to participate, has formed a situation of spontaneous promotion of the whole society.

Consumers’ mentality has become more mature, and ordinary people have become lifestyle leaders.

Liu Qi, head of JD.COM Institute of Consumer and Industrial Development, said that the data of the National Bureau of Statistics and JD.COM Platform confirmed the growth of online purchasing power in 2023. Through the data, we can read the psychological changes of young consumers: pursuing high quality and good price, we can buy expensive ones, but we can’t buy expensive ones; Pursuing a sense of accomplishment, satisfaction and security, "saving golden peas" is the representative of this mentality and behavior; The pursuit of finding a balance between emotional pleasure and core stability is reflected in consumer behavior, including impromptu travel, buying small things that can bring a sense of relaxation, self-disciplined health management and body management, rushing from desk to night school, and paying for improving ability.

Liu Qi spoke at the event (photo by People’s Daily Online Yu Kai)

According to the analysis of tourism consumption characteristics, Li Zhengjie said that the traditional tourism mode of "getting on the bus to sleep and getting off the bus to take pictures" is being abandoned by most tourists, and tourists pay more attention to the sense of relaxation during travel. There are many cases of staying in hotels, visiting the morning market, and even joining the elderly tour group after 00. Deep travel and slow experience have become the new trend. Travelers enjoy the fun of impromptu departure. In 2023, the average advance time of users who booked air tickets in Ctrip was shortened by 25% compared with that in 2019, and the number of hotel orders booked the next day increased by 71% compared with that in 2019.

Deng Sidi, an industry research expert of Alibaba Group, said that consumers’ emphasis on the actual value of products has brought opportunities to many China brands. During the "Double Eleven" event in 2023, the market share of Guochao brand in the high-end consumer brands of Tmall platform increased steadily. The innovation ability of domestic brands, the insight into consumption habits and the improvement of supply chain are the main driving forces to support the national tide and the rise of domestic products.

Zhu Di, deputy director and researcher of the Research Office of Consumer and Cultural Sociology, Institute of Sociology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, described the current consumer and social consumption mentality with "maturity". On the one hand, consumers are more and more knowledgeable and know what they want; On the other hand, the development of digital platforms has helped consumers become more and more mature. Consumers not only pay attention to their own needs, but also pay attention to the influence of consumption behavior on others, society and the whole environment. Many new consumption phenomena exceed the expectations of the government and the market.

Judy said that ordinary people have become the leaders of lifestyle, and consumption is showing a trend of community. In the pre-digital era, media, government and other institutions are the main bodies to educate and guide consumption trends and lifestyles; At the beginning of the digital economy, idols, stars and online opinion leaders led the way of life. At present, e-commerce and platform economy have entered a mature stage, and more and more ordinary users have the right to speak. Many of their comments resonate in the consumer community. The activity of the community of interest makes some consumer cultures and lifestyles constantly brew, sublimate and expand from a little spark. This is a logic that ordinary people lead their way of life.

Judy spoke at the event (photo by People’s Daily Online Yu Kai)

Professor Weihua zhao from the Department of Sociology, Beijing University of Technology believes that the current consumption hotspots reflect that consumers are paying more and more attention to experience, and their consumption orientation has changed from gaining others’ approval to focusing on their own inner experience, paying more attention to the happiness and satisfaction brought by consumption.

Weihua zhao spoke at the event (photo by People’s Daily Online Yu Kai)

The whole chain makes efforts to optimize the consumption environment and release the consumption potential.

Judy believes that some consumption trends in 2023 reflect that government departments have made great efforts to create a good consumption environment, from respecting and protecting residents’ consumption enthusiasm to market supervision and protection of consumers’ rights and interests.

Jiang Zhao, Ph.D., from the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, cited the consumption of the national tide and the consumption of green smart home appliances mentioned in the Report as examples, saying that the Ministry of Commerce has promoted the cultivation and identification of Chinese time-honored brands in recent years, encouraged local enterprises to actively declare time-honored brands, and incorporated China’s traditional culture, art and local characteristics into products to help the consumption boom of the national tide. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Commerce and other ministries and commissions have long promoted home appliances and new energy vehicles to the countryside, and many areas have promoted the consumption of green smart home appliances in the form of issuing consumer vouchers. As a visible hand, the government guides the upgrading of the supply side and helps release the consumption potential.

Jiang Zhao spoke at the event (photo by People’s Daily Online Yu Kai)

Liu Pengfei, a senior researcher at People’s Online Mass Work Department, said that the People’s Online Leadership Message Board and People’s Suggestions column are important channels for the masses to pay attention to and reflect consumption-related topics. In recent years, various opinions and suggestions from netizens have been collected through relevant topics. Some difficult problems in the field of consumption, especially the protection of consumers’ rights and interests, have been answered in time by relevant departments. The leadership message board will continue to reflect the voices of the masses and help create a good consumption environment.

Liu Pengfei spoke at the event (photo by People’s Daily Online Yu Kai)

Gao Lei, deputy director of the Economic and People’s Livelihood Editorial Department of People’s Daily Online, said that in recent years, People’s Daily Online has focused on building a platform for consumers to complain about their rights online-People’s Complaints, and is committed to building a bridge of communication between consumers and businesses, enterprises and regulatory authorities. Since its launch in October 2021, the platform has received more than 480,000 effective complaints, and more than 100 enterprises and institutions have settled in. The platform distributes effective complaints to settled enterprises through manual and intelligent collaborative sorting.

Gao Lei spoke at the event (photo by People’s Daily Online Yu Kai)

Which consumer sectors will maintain a good growth trend in 2024?

The head of the Ministry of Commerce recently said that 2024 will be designated as the "Year of Consumption Promotion", and the Ministry of Commerce will work with relevant departments and parties to create a strong consumption atmosphere and provide residents with more yuan and richer consumption experiences.

In view of the consumption trend in 2024, Hong Qunlian believes that the first is that the consumption boom of cultural tourism will not decrease, and more cities in online celebrity will take over and blossom more. Second, health consumption will continue to grow, including health food, fitness equipment and medical devices. The third is intelligent consumption. In the era of big data, all consumers are in a digital and informational pattern. With the improvement of internet infrastructure, the country’s efforts to narrow the digital divide have achieved results, the number of middle-aged and elderly netizens and rural netizens has continued to increase, the consumption of intelligent products has sunk, and the agricultural products have become more and more smooth. The fourth is green consumption. Consumers pay more attention to the environmental protection properties of products, and the consumption growth of new energy vehicles and green products will have a good momentum.

Weihua zhao believes that at this stage, this kind of consumption that meets the needs of development, enjoyment and emotion is developing rapidly. From this perspective, service consumption will develop greatly. Cultural tourism, health, sports, green and intelligent consumption may all usher in rapid development. In addition, with the increase of people’s social activities, the consumption of clothing accessories, gold and jewelry is also an important growth point. In short, those who can satisfy the people’s yearning for a better life will have greater room for development. (Dong Jinzhi)
