Vivo Releases Three Forward-looking Technologies of Self-developed Image Chip V3

    On July 30th, the special event of 2023 vivo Video Festival was officially held, and the latest exploration achievements of vivo in the field of image technology and culture were announced. Focusing on the three technical bases of optics, computing power and algorithm, vivo released a brand-new 6nm process self-developed image chip V3 and algorithm matrix, shared the latest achievements of AIGC, and joined hands with Zeiss to launch major technical achievements such as telephoto lenses that meet the brand-new standard "Vario-Apo-Sonnar".

    Further strengthen independent innovation, release self-developed chip V3 and image algorithm matrix.

    In this activity, vivo newly released the self-developed image chip V3 with 6nm process technology. With the newly designed multi-concurrent AI perception -ISP architecture and the second generation FIT interconnection system, the energy efficiency ratio increased by 30% compared with the previous generation. V3 image chip can bring users the super experience of 4K movie portrait mode, such as movie-level Jiao Wai blur, automatic subject focus detection and switching, movie-level skin optimization and movie color processing. Its technical strength makes vivo a mobile phone manufacturer that can realize 4K movie portrait video and 4K post-shoot editing function of Android.

Vivo released a brand-new 6nm process technology self-developed image chip V3.

    In addition to the self-developed chip upgrade, vivo has also built a comprehensive composite algorithm matrix from technology to scene, which includes a big engine and two big systems. The new vivo original image engine VOIE(vivo origin imaging engine) comprehensively improves the basic algorithm ability of vivo from three sub-modules: ultra-clear image quality, color reproduction and computing power acceleration, and upgrades the image quality, color tone and computing power. At the same time, based on the moving image theory system of "real world-imaging system-post-processing algorithm" and combining the core user scenes of portraits and night scenes, vivo has created two major image systems, namely, the super-touching image system and the sky night scene system, which has continuously consolidated the accumulation of underlying technologies of vivo in portraits and landscapes and continuously led the era of computational photography.

Vivo algorithm matrix

    Deepen joint innovation again and build a prosperous image ecosystem.

    Vivo creates great products for users through joint innovation with universities and enterprises. At the university level, vivo and Zhejiang University, Zurich Federal Institute of Technology and other universities at home and abroad explore basic frontier theories and technologies such as AI frontier network design and image quality. At the enterprise level, vivo also maintains close cooperation with all partners. Among the numerous cooperations, vivo has continuously strengthened its long-term and in-depth cooperation with Zeiss, the market leader in the optical field, and has been iterating over Zeiss optical lens, Zeiss T* coating and ZEISS Look.

    Vivo and Zeiss continue to explore new lens design and launch telephoto lenses that meet the new standard "Vario-Apo-Sonnar". Vario-Sonnar, as a compact optical lens design, has excellent imaging quality, excellent sharpness and large aperture. Combined with APO design applied to mobile imaging system, it can greatly improve the zoom quality of mobile phones. This telephoto lens also adopts floating lens group technology, which has extremely high resolution and focusing ability. Its creamy blur effect can further highlight the subject, and can realize telephoto landscape photography, macro photography and telephoto close-up portrait photography, taking into account the diverse demands of users for telephoto and macro photography.

Vivo and Zeiss jointly launched a telephoto lens conforming to the "Vario-Apo-Sonnar" standard.

    The new generation of vivo X90 Pro+ all-P lens adopts ALC coating technology, and its single lens reflectivity is reduced by 42.8% compared with the previous generation. In order to further suppress glare and ghosting, the newly upgraded Zeiss T* coating will be equipped with Multi-ALD technology and will be equipped on the main camera of the next generation vivo X series flagship model. The reflectivity of the lens center will be reduced from 0.2% to 0.1%, which is 50% lower than that of the previous generation ALC coating, thus bringing clearer picture performance.

    Vivo and Zeiss jointly created products around ZEISS Look, jointly recreated the classic blur style of Zeiss lens, and launched Zeiss lens packages with various styles, such as Zeiss Biotar blur style, Zeiss Cinematic blur style, Zeiss Cine-Flare flare portrait, so that users can also experience the unique blur effect of professional photography lenses on their mobile phones. In order to meet the pursuit of professional users, the two sides also jointly launched Zeiss natural colors to truly and accurately restore what they see.

    In addition to in-depth cooperation in product innovation, vivo is also committed to more diversified and extensive cooperation with Zeiss, so that more users can enjoy the joy of creation through smart phones with cutting-edge imaging technology.

    In-depth creation of professional portraits and extreme night scenes, and continuous empowerment of professional imaging experience.

    As the main track of vivo images, vivo has been building its professional portrait shooting ability. vivo has always been aiming at "mobile portrait master", and has continued to precipitate in the field of professional portrait shooting. Combined with its own hardware capabilities, it has continuously upgraded its super-touching portrait system, forming a unique portrait style of vivo with "clear characters, natural skin color, and gradual degree of reality and reality", bringing the portrait style that users like to smart phones, bringing more intelligence, clarity, beauty and prominence.

    In addition to the continuous exploration in the traditional portrait track, vivo is also actively involved in the research and development of future images and 3D portrait technology, and makes innovations and attempts in two new technical directions: portrait 3D reconstruction perception and virtual content. For this reason, vivo has established Chongqing 3D imaging laboratory and set up a film-and-television light field system, which can reconstruct a "pore-level" 3D model of human body and achieve a more realistic and high-fidelity rendering visual effect in virtual environment. With the underlying data support of historical products and the capability reserve of the three major portrait 3D perception algorithms with face, human body and gesture as the core, the system can accurately capture and drive the interactive perception of facial expressions, human gestures and gestures.

Vivo brand-new super touching image system

    Based on the perception ability of portrait 3D reconstruction, vivo superimposes AIGC algorithm to create three application scenarios: generative portrait style, generative portrait editing and various portrait AR special effects. Among them, the generative portrait style allows users to take more natural photos of virtual and real scenes through vivo mobile phones, and realize the humanized experience of "shooting portraits of the four seasons without leaving home". Generative portrait editing can let users re-edit lighting, age, hairstyle, expression and other contents based on their own preferences through techniques such as texture reconstruction and illumination estimation algorithm. In addition, based on the stable mobile portrait 3D perception technology, vivo also provides a variety of portrait AR special effects to continuously activate users’ creative enthusiasm.

    In terms of scenery shooting and night scene imaging, vivo has been steadily upgraded in three aspects: image quality, tone and color.

    In order to present users with clearer image quality and realize the freedom of night scene creation, vivo has built an advanced image quality solution based on the Sky Night Scene System, which can realize the super night scene with full focus. Its upgraded version of SuperRAW technology will also support all rear cameras, which can meet users’ needs for wider night scene post-adjustment.

    In terms of tone and color, vivo is also constantly exerting its strength to present a night scene effect full of atmosphere. Based on VOIE, the original image engine of vivo, the new Sky Night Scene System focuses on introducing Zhencai Night Scene Model, which can learn AI based on millions of night scene photos, and realize its own tone and color adjustment for night scene. Full-link night HDR function can greatly optimize the overall look and feel of preview, shooting, display and other links in the night scene with strong contrast between light and dark, and bring users a dazzling night scene atmosphere. In addition, the newly upgraded XDR Photo 2.0 adds a highlight color protection mechanism for the artificial light source with high dynamic and high saturation at night, which can improve the overexposure of highlights without affecting the color performance of the light source and retaining the night scene atmosphere.

    Accurate expression of color is very important for image creation, but a single color style can not meet the diverse needs of users. Therefore, on the basis of the vivid colors of vivo, which are loved by users, and the natural colors of Zeiss, which give professional photographers more space in the later period, vivo draws inspiration from representative films and master photography works, and introduces the rich, delicate and personalized texture colors of vivo on the flagship product X90s. After the introduction of vivo texture color, it has been recognized and loved by professional photographers such as Alex Webb and many users. In order to better meet users’ demands, vivo X Fold2, X Flip and X80 series will be upgraded in September.

    In recent years, vivo has encouraged "paying attention to the present and praising the daily life" and responded to the era of "everyone is a creator" through a series of humanistic video activities such as the video plus mobile phone photography contest and the FIRST ultra-short film contest. In 2020, vivo opened the first video plus mobile phone photography contest. Up to now, vivo users from more than 40 countries and regions around the world have participated in it, and nearly one million works have been collected. At the special event of this video festival, the winners of the 2023vivo Video Plus Mobile Phone Photography Competition were announced. Photographers Jiehan Herry Saputro and Jiang Xinyuan won the Best Work of the Year and the Zeiss Professional Video Award respectively for their works Let me Fly and Dreaming, while photographers Ma Chen and Wei Dong won the "X90 Series Best" for their works The Eyes of Lan Bing and The Tension of Life. At the event site, vivo also shared a group of special works "A Photography Class in the Mountain", telling the story of two girls’ lives changed by photography, and writing new possibilities for the distant places that images can reach.

Best work of the year: Jiehan Herry Saputro "Let me fly"

    In the future, vivo will continue to take the user’s needs as the origin, gain the shooting experience of every ordinary creator with the help of professional imaging technology, enrich the ecology and connotation of mobile image creation, adhere to the initial intention of "scientific and technological intentions, images from the heart", and let "humanized professional images" benefit more mass creators.

"Taste of Rice Flowers" issued a statement: Elephants point out infringement and spread false information.

Recently, the founder of Elephant Point Show, Mr. Wu Feiyue, posted a false news titled "To the team of < The Taste of Rice Flowers >: Please don’t steal under the guise of literature and art" on WeChat WeChat official account and online platform. On April 28th, the film producer Yong ‘an (Tianjin) Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. issued a public statement, calling it an arbitrary cutting fact, and spread a lot of false information on the Internet, which seriously affected the personal reputation of the director Mr. Pengfei and directly affected the film.

 

The full text of the statement is as follows:

 

Public statement on the incident of Wu Feiyue and Elephant Pointing Company.

 

Recently, Mr. Wu Feiyue published an article entitled "To the team of Taste of Rice Flowers: Please don’t steal under the guise of literature and art" in WeChat official account, the elephant screening. In view of Mr. Pengfei, the director of the film Taste of Rice Flowers and his creative team, who is being shown in the cinema of our company, arbitrarily cut out the facts and spread a lot of false information on the Internet, which has seriously affected Mr. Pengfei’s personal reputation and directly affected the reputation of the film Taste of Rice Flowers.

 

Regarding Wu Feiyue’s false information in this article, I hereby declare the following for the record.

 

1. Mr. Pengfei has contacted a number of potential publicity partners, including Elephant Dianying. Mr. Pengfei has never accepted the so-called "business plan" in the above article. The only time I received it on WeChat, Mr. Wu Feiyue sent Mr. Pengfei the Introduction of the 100-city premiere within 9 minutes after Mr. Pengfei proposed it to Mr. Wu Feiyue.

Our company solemnly points out that Mr. Wu Feiyue can send Mr. Pengfei the Introduction to the Elephant Premiere within 9 minutes, which belongs to the advertising sales products of Elephant Point Film Company, and is by no means a customized plan for the Taste of Rice Flowers. Any friend who is interested or thinks it necessary to determine its content or nature can come to our company to check the content and judge its nature with the Brief Introduction to the Elephant Premiere provided by Mr. Wu Feiyue.

It is worth noting that Mr. Wu Feiyue’s screenshot of WeChat in the above article intentionally or unintentionally cut off the time when Mr. Pengfei sent WeChat to cover up the fact that he sent the Introduction to the Elephant Premiere to Mr. Pengfei within 9 minutes. Whether Mr. Wu Feiyue did this intentionally or unintentionally remains to be explained by Mr. Wu Feiyue or confirmed by the authority in the future rights protection procedure.

 

2. We have not signed any agreement or definitive document with Elephant Point Film Company. After investigation, we think that some publicity modes and behaviors of elephant screening are different from the mainstream social values advocated by Taste of Rice Flowers, and its attention and energy seem to be more concerned about whether it can get investment from outside or customers. After careful consideration, the producer decided not to cooperate with it to announce the issue. Since then, our company has not contacted Mr. Wu Feiyue and Elephant Dianying actively.

 

We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to the fans for seeking truth from facts and being more firm in their trust and support in the face of libel in The Taste of Rice Flowers and the director Mr. Pengfei. We earnestly hope that Mr. Wu Feiyue and Elephant Point Shadow Company will be cautious in their words and deeds, stop making and disseminating false information, undertake basic social obligations and abide by basic business rules, so as to thank friends from all walks of life who have cared about and supported them.

 

The Company reserves the right to pursue the legal responsibilities of Mr. Wu Feiyue and Elephant Point Film Company.

 

In the statement, Yong ‘an (Tianjin) Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd. hopes that Mr. Wu Feiyue and Elephant Dianying will be cautious in their words and deeds, and will not continue to manufacture and disseminate false information. The company will reserve the right to investigate the tort liability of Mr. Wu Feiyue and Elephant Dianying Company according to law.


The relevant person in charge of the CSRC answered the reporter’s question on activating the capital market and boosting investor confidence.

  CCTV News:On July 24th, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party made important arrangements for capital market work, and clearly stated that "the capital market should be activated to boost investor confidence". Recently, the relevant person in charge of the CSRC accepted an interview with the media on the implementation.

  1. What consideration does the CSRC have for the implementation of this decision? What policy measures will be taken next?

  A: This time, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party emphasized "to enliven the capital market and boost investors’ confidence", which is the new deployment and new requirements of the CPC Central Committee for capital market work, and fully reflects the great attention and ardent expectations of the CPC Central Committee for the capital market, and the important significance of stabilizing capital market expectations for maintaining overall economic and social stability. The CSRC thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit of Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party, conscientiously implemented the arrangements of the the State Council executive meeting and the the State Council plenary meeting, set up a special working group, formulated a work plan on the basis of brainstorming, and determined a package of policies and measures to invigorate the capital market and boost investors’ confidence.

  The general idea is to take Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era as the guide, adhere to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, adhere to the system concept, adhere to the problem orientation, adhere to the direction of marketization and rule of law, focus on the main line of building a modern capital market with China characteristics, make comprehensive policies and make concerted efforts to give full play to the functions of resource allocation, price discovery and risk management, continuously optimize the market ecology, effectively enhance the market vitality, efficiency and attractiveness, and maintain a stable and good development trend of the capital market.

  Grasp several principles in the work: First, treat both the symptoms and the root causes. Based on the present situation, we will speed up the launch of a number of practical and effective policy measures to stabilize expectations and boost confidence, and focus on the long-term, adhere to reform and open the way, make overall plans for the development of the stock, bond and futures markets, and improve the basic system of the capital market. The second is to highlight key points. Emancipate the mind, identify the starting point, and strive to make breakthroughs in introducing flowing water from the source, reducing transaction costs, and improving transaction smoothness. The third is to stabilize the word. Grasp the relationship between stability and vitality, coordinate the work of living the market, stabilizing expectations and keeping the bottom line, and insist on improving market activity on the premise of maintaining overall market stability. The fourth is to exert synergy. Strengthen cross-ministerial communication and policy coordination, and work in the same direction to form a strong synergy to activate the market and boost confidence. The main measures include the following aspects:

  First, accelerate the reform of the investment side and vigorously develop equity funds. Accelerate the formulation of the action plan for the reform of the investment side of the capital market, and make systematic arrangements from the aspects of promoting the high-quality development of Public Offering of Fund industries, continuously optimizing the market investment ecology, and increasing the introduction of medium and long-term funds. Vigorously developing equity funds is an important part of the investment-side reform. The key measures include: First, relaxing the registration conditions of index funds, improving the development efficiency of index funds, and encouraging fund managers to increase product innovation. The second is to promote the comprehensive implementation of Public Offering of Fund’s rate reform and lower the management rate level. The third is to guide Head Public Offering of Fund Company to increase the issuance ratio of equity funds, so as to promote the total amount of Public Offering of Fund and optimize its structure. The fourth is to guide Public Offering of Fund managers to increase their efforts to purchase their own equity funds. Fifth, establish the incentive and restraint mechanism of "counter-cyclical layout" of managers in Public Offering of Fund to reduce pro-cyclical resonance. Sixth, broaden the investment scope and strategy of Public Offering of Fund, and relax the investment restrictions on Public Offering of Fund’s investment in stock index options, stock index futures, treasury bonds futures and other varieties.

  The formula of the spirit Lord ascended the skyPractical measures will also be introduced in cases and further promoting the normal issuance of REITs.

  Third, optimize and improve the trading mechanism to enhance the convenience of trading. At present, it has been announced to reduce the proportion of settlement reserve, reduce the number of stock funds to declare, study the introduction of ETF into the after-hours fixed-price trading mechanism, and introduce the inquiry transfer and placement reduction system of GEM. The next step will be to introduce the following measures: first, reduce the handling fee of securities transactions and simultaneously reduce the commission rate of securities companies. The second is to further expand the scope of margin financing and securities lending targets, reduce the margin financing and securities lending rates, and include ETFs in the refinancing targets. The third is to improve the share reduction system, strengthen the supervision of illegal reduction and "detour" reduction, and severely punish illegal reduction. The fourth is to optimize transaction supervision, enhance transaction convenience and smoothness, and enhance the transparency of transaction supervision. Timely launch a programmed transaction reporting system. Fifth, study the appropriate extension of the trading hours in the A-share market and the exchange bond market to better meet the needs of investment transactions.

  Fourth, stimulate the vitality of market institutions and promote the high-quality development of the industry. First, adhere to the direction of intensive, differentiated, functional and international development, and build high-quality investment banks. Optimize the calculation standards of risk control indicators of securities companies, appropriately relax the capital constraints on high-quality securities companies, and improve the efficiency of capital use. The second is to implement counter-cyclical adjustment of margin financing and securities lending, and study the appropriate reduction of margin ratio of on-site financing business under the premise of overall controllable leverage risk. Third, research and launch a series of financial futures options such as SZSE 100 stock index futures options and CSI 1000ETF options to better meet the risk management needs of investors. Allow more domestic and foreign investment institutions to use derivatives to manage risks under the premise of prudence. The fourth is to implement differentiated regulatory policies, simplify the registration and filing of high-quality private equity venture capital funds, and further promote the pilot of physical distribution of shares by private equity venture capital funds. Fifth, vigorously develop China’s characteristic index system and indexed investment, and encourage all kinds of funds to enter the market through indexed investment.

  5. Support the development of the Hong Kong market and make overall plans to enhance the activity of A shares and Hong Kong stocks. At present, it has been announced to introduce a block trading mechanism in Shanghai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect. In the next step, practical measures will be further introduced to stimulate the vitality of the Hong Kong market and promote the coordinated development of the mainland and Hong Kong markets. First, continue to optimize the interconnection mechanism, further expand the scope of interconnection targets, and add RMB stock trading counters in Hong Kong Stock Connect. The second is to launch treasury bonds futures and related A-share index options in Hong Kong. The third is to support the dual listing of stocks listed in the United States in Hong Kong.

  Sixth, strengthen inter-ministerial coordination and form an active capital market synergy. Activating the capital market and boosting investors’ confidence is a systematic project, involving all aspects of work, which requires a set of "combination boxing" to form a joint policy force. Especially in the medium and long-term capital market, capital market tax policy, etc., it needs the coordinated support of relevant ministries and commissions. Recently, we have increased inter-ministerial communication and coordination, and made great efforts to study and promote some important measures. For example, promote the optimization of listed companies’ equity incentive personal income tax payment time and other capital market-related tax arrangements; Promote the establishment and improvement of a long-term assessment mechanism for equity investment such as insurance funds, and promote its efforts to increase equity investment; Guide and support bank wealth management funds to actively enter the market; Support more investors such as banking institutions to fully participate in the exchange bond market, and so on.

  What needs to be emphasized is that activating the capital market, boosting investors’ confidence, and striving for progress while maintaining stability are complementary and internally unified. Without a relatively stable market environment, it is impossible to activate the market and boost confidence. We will do a good job in activating the market, preventing risks and strengthening supervision. We will work with relevant parties to prevent and handle risks in key areas such as urban investment bonds and real estate, resolutely maintain the stable operation of the market, stick to the main business of supervision, increase the intensity of anti-counterfeiting and counterfeiting in the capital market, and severely and promptly investigate and deal with typical illegal cases such as fraudulent issuance, financial fraud, market manipulation and insider trading, so as to provide investors with real and transparent listed companies and consolidate long-term investment confidence.

  2. Incremental capital inflow is the key to active market. What are the considerations and specific measures for introducing more medium and long-term funds?

  A: In recent years, social security funds, insurance funds, annuity funds and other medium-and long-term funds have adhered to market-oriented and professional operations, maintaining a net inflow as a whole, and achieving a benign interaction with the capital market while maintaining and increasing value. But overall, the shortage of medium and long-term funds is still a prominent problem that restricts the healthy development of the capital market. At present, the proportion of medium and long-term capital holding shares is less than 6%, far below the level of more than 20% in mature overseas markets. With the strong support of relevant parties, we are studying and formulating a reform plan for the investment side of the capital market. In introducing more medium and long-term funds, the key point is to create a policy environment conducive to medium and long-term funds entering the market. Specific measures: First, support the national social security fund, basic endowment insurance fund and annuity fund to expand the investment scope of the capital market; Second, study and improve the rules for identifying strategic investors, and support medium and long-term funds such as the National Social Security Fund to participate in the non-public offering of listed companies; The third is to formulate rules for institutional investors to participate in the governance of listed companies and give play to the binding role of professional buyers; The fourth is to optimize the supervision of investment transactions, study and optimize the application of laws and regulations such as large shareholding information disclosure, short-term trading, and reduction restrictions to facilitate the investment operation management of professional institutions; Fifth, enrich the financial derivative investment tools inside and outside the market, optimize the restrictions on the use of derivatives by various institutional investors, and improve the efficiency of risk management; Sixth, enrich the personal pension product system, and include equity products such as index funds into the scope of investment choices.

  At the same time, we will strengthen cross-ministerial communication and coordination, increase the introduction of various medium and long-term funds, and increase the proportion of equity investment. Including: promoting the improvement of the investment management system of the national social security fund and the basic old-age insurance fund, and further promoting the market-oriented investment operation level of the annuity fund; Promote research and optimization of accounting treatment of equity investment of insurance funds, promote the pilot project of long-term stock investment of insurance funds, and gradually expand the scope and scale of the pilot project; Promote the accelerated expansion of the personal pension system to the whole country and expand the coverage of the system; Support bank wealth management funds to improve the ability of equity investment; Actively promote all kinds of medium and long-term funds to establish long-term investment performance orientation, comprehensively establish a long-term assessment mechanism for more than three years, and enhance the stability of investment behavior.

  3. At the 14th Lujiazui Forum, President Yi Huiman said that policies and measures to further support the self-reliance and self-reliance of high-level science and technology in the capital market will be introduced in due course. What is the progress in this regard and what specific measures are there?

  A: Since the beginning of this year, on the basis of in-depth research and extensive listening to opinions and suggestions, the CSRC has accelerated the research and demonstration of a package of policy measures to further support scientific and technological innovation, and relevant documents will be issued in due course. The general idea is to improve the support mechanism of capital market for scientific and technological innovation, guide resources to gather in the field of scientific and technological innovation, stimulate the vitality of market scientific and technological innovation, boost scientific and technological enterprises to become better and stronger, and smooth the virtuous circle of "science and technology-industry-finance".

  Main policy measures: First, establish a "green channel" for listing financing, bond issuance, mergers and acquisitions of technology-based enterprises that break through key core technologies, improve the efficiency of audit and registration, and increase the supply of high-quality listed companies. Second, continue to improve the equity incentive system and mechanism of science and technology enterprises, optimize the implementation procedures, exempt short-term transactions, and help science and technology enterprises attract stable talents. Third, optimize the financing environment of technology-based listed companies, actively study more types and ways of financing to meet the needs of technology-based enterprises, and study and establish the science and technology innovation board and Growth Enterprise Market shelf distribution system. The fourth is to appropriately improve the inclusiveness of restructuring and valuation of light-asset technology-based enterprises, and support technology-based enterprises to comprehensively use various payment tools to implement restructuring. Fifth, strengthen the bond market’s accurate support for scientific and technological innovation, focus on supporting corporate bond financing of high-tech and strategic emerging industries, incorporate high-quality corporate science and technology bonds into benchmark market-making varieties, and support new infrastructure and scientific and technological innovation industrial parks to issue REITs in the field of scientific and technological innovation. In addition, actively support the development of private equity venture capital funds, implement differentiated regulatory policies, simplify the registration and filing of high-quality private equity venture capital funds, and guide venture capital funds to invest more in scientific and technological innovation.

  4. Recently, the market has paid more attention to the IPO rhythm, and it is also rumored that refinancing will be suspended. What does the CSRC think?

  A: To realize the sustainable development of the capital market, we need to fully consider the dynamic and positive balance between the two ends of investment and financing. Without the steady operation of the secondary market, the financing function of the primary market will be difficult to play effectively. We always adhere to the scientific and reasonable normalization of IPO and refinancing, and at the same time fully consider the affordability of the secondary market, strengthen the countercyclical adjustment of the primary and secondary markets, and better promote the coordinated and balanced development of the primary and secondary markets. The market will feel this change.

  5. What are the specific considerations for deepening the market-oriented reform of M&A?

  A: M&A is an important way to optimize resource allocation and stimulate market vitality. Since 2019, there have been about 3,000 mergers and acquisitions in the whole market every year, and the transaction amount has exceeded 1.5 trillion yuan. In the next step, we will adhere to the problem orientation, conform to the market demand, and deepen the market-oriented reform of mergers and acquisitions. First, appropriately improve the valuation inclusiveness of light asset technology-based enterprise restructuring, and support high-quality technology innovation enterprises to become bigger and stronger through mergers and acquisitions. The second is to optimize and improve the audit mechanism such as "small amount and quick", extend the validity period of financial materials for stock issuance and restructuring, and further improve the efficiency of restructuring market. The third is to introduce the relevant rules for listed companies to issue convertible bonds to purchase assets, and enrich the payment methods for mergers and acquisitions. The fourth is to promote central enterprises to increase the integration of mergers and acquisitions of listed companies, and inject high-quality assets into listed companies through mergers and acquisitions channels to further improve the quality of listed companies.

  6. Share repurchase plays an important role in stabilizing stock prices and boosting confidence. What considerations does the CSRC have in supporting share repurchase?

  A: Share repurchase is an internationally accepted important means to safeguard the company’s investment value, improve the corporate governance structure and enrich the investor’s return mechanism. It is also a basic institutional arrangement in the capital market. In recent years, the CSRC has encouraged and supported listed companies to carry out share repurchase in many ways, and the scale of repurchase in the A-share market has increased steadily as a whole. In the next step, we will work with relevant parties to further optimize the share repurchase system, support more listed companies to stabilize and boost their share prices through share repurchase, safeguard shareholders’ rights and interests, and lay a solid foundation for a stable market operation. On the one hand, accelerate the revision of repurchase rules, relax the repurchase conditions of listed companies when their share prices fall sharply, relax the repurchase restrictions of new listed companies, relax the restrictions on the repurchase window period, and enhance the convenience of implementing repurchase. On the other hand, it encourages qualified listed companies to actively carry out repurchase, and urges listed companies that have issued repurchase plans to speed up the implementation of repurchase plans, increase repurchase efforts, and send positive signals in a timely manner.

  7. Recently, the market has paid more attention to the major shareholder’s reduction. What are the next considerations in improving the reduction system and strengthening the supervision of the reduction behavior?

  A: The major shareholder and Dong Jiangao are the "key minority" of listed companies. They have special obligations and responsibilities in the company’s business development and governance, and should earnestly safeguard the interests of the company and minority shareholders. The Securities Law, the Company Law and relevant regulatory rules clearly stipulate the holding period and the number of shares sold by major shareholders and Dong Jiangao. The major shareholder and Dong Jiangao shall strictly abide by it, and shall not evade the reduction restrictions in any way. Recently, we have clarified the regulatory caliber for the major shareholder and Dong Jiangao’s reduction in divorce, dissolution and separation, and eliminated possible loopholes in the system.

  In the next step, the CSRC will continue to do a good job in reducing its holdings. On the one hand, resolutely crack down on illegal reduction, promptly and seriously deal with excessive reduction, undisclosed reduction, circumvention of restricted reduction, etc., and comprehensively use various means such as administrative supervision measures, administrative penalties, self-discipline measures or trading restrictions to severely punish illegal subjects, thus creating a shock and maintaining the order of the capital market. On the other hand, pay close attention to the problem of shareholder reduction reflected by the market, carefully analyze and evaluate, study and optimize the reduction rules in a timely manner, further standardize the reduction behavior of major shareholders and directors and supervisors, and enhance the institutional binding force.

  8. Recently, there has been a lot of discussion on the T+0 trading system in the stock market. What do you think of this? Will this system be introduced?

  A: Whether T+0 trading should be implemented in China’s stock market has been widely discussed in recent years. On the whole, there are great differences in various aspects. We believe that T+0 trading objectively plays a positive role in enriching trading methods and improving trading activity. However, we should also see that the stock price trend of listed companies depends on the quality and operating efficiency of listed companies, and the medium and long-term impact of T+0 trading method on market valuation is limited. At present, the A-share market is dominated by small and medium-sized investors, with 96% of the small retail investors holding shares with a market value of less than 500,000 yuan. At this stage, the implementation of T+0 trading may amplify market speculation and manipulation risks, especially institutional investors’ extensive use of programmed trading, which will aggravate the disadvantaged position of small and medium-sized investors and is not conducive to fair trading in the market. We believe that it is premature to implement T+0 trading at this stage.

  9. Recently, there have been many calls from investors to reduce the stamp duty rate of securities transactions. What do the CSRC think of this?

  A: We have paid attention to the market’s appeal and concern about lowering the stamp duty rate on securities transactions. Historically, adjusting the stamp duty on securities transactions has played a positive role in reducing transaction costs, activating market transactions and embodying the inclusive effect. It is recommended to know the specific situation from the competent authorities.

  10. In March this year, the new regulations for overseas listing were officially implemented, and the CSRC indicated that more "green light" cases would be launched. What is the progress in this regard? What’s the next step?

  A: Since the implementation of the new regulations on overseas listing filing, enterprises have actively submitted filing materials, and the number of applicants has increased significantly. We have continuously improved the requirements of filing compliance standards, strengthened communication and coordination between domestic and overseas regulators, and solidly promoted filing work. Nineteen enterprises of various types have completed listing and filing in Hong Kong and overseas in the United States. In the next step, we will continue to unblock the overseas listing channels of enterprises and launch more qualified "green light" cases, including VIE architecture enterprises and platform enterprises that are more concerned by the market. At the same time, promote the formation of a more transparent, efficient and smooth overseas listing supervision and coordination mechanism, respect enterprises’ independent choice of overseas listing places according to laws and regulations, and support qualified enterprises to make good use of two markets and two resources to achieve standardized and healthy development.

  11. The bond market is an important part of the capital market. What are your considerations in implementing the deployment of "active market and boosting confidence"?

  A: Since the beginning of this year, we have persisted in striving for stability and made every effort to promote the function of the bond market and achieved positive results. In terms of steady growth of services, we adhered to the coordinated development of corporate bonds, corporate bonds, ABS and REITs. From January to July this year, the total financing of various bonds issued by the exchange bond market was 7.32 trillion yuan, exceeding the level of last year. Among them, the issuance of science and technology bonds exceeded 167 billion yuan and the issuance of green bonds exceeded 90 billion yuan. By the end of July, a total of 32 REITs projects had been issued and listed, raising a total of nearly 100 billion yuan. In terms of basic system reform, the reform and deployment of the party and state institutions were implemented, and the transfer of corporate bond responsibilities was efficient and smooth. We issued guidance on implementing the reform of the corporate bond registration system, improving the quality of intermediary bond practice, and promoting the deepening of the reform of the bond registration system. In terms of prevention and control of key risks, we strengthened the prevention and control of bond risks in key areas such as urban investment and real estate, and the risk of default remained generally convergent.

  In the next step, we will further introduce measures to stabilize expectations and confidence to stimulate the vitality of the bond market. First, comprehensively improve the vitality and quality of the bond market. Strengthen the reform of the investment side of the bond market and promote the full participation of banking institutions in the bond market of the exchange. We will strengthen the ranks of bond market makers, steadily push forward the reform of the inquiry and quotation system, and deepen the opening up of the bond market. The second is to accelerate the normal issuance and high-quality expansion of REITs. We will launch REITs-related indexes and REITs index funds, optimize the REITs valuation system and issue inquiry mechanism, cultivate professional REITs investors, and accelerate the interconnection between the REITs market and the Hong Kong market. The third is to adhere to the bottom line thinking and do a good job in risk prevention and control in key areas such as real estate and urban investment. To adapt to the new situation that the relationship between supply and demand in the real estate market has undergone major changes, we will continue to do a good job in supporting the stable and healthy development of the real estate market in the capital market. Maintain the overall stability of the financing channels of housing enterprises’ stock bonds and support the reasonable financing needs of normal operating housing enterprises. Adhere to the "one enterprise, one policy" and steadily resolve the default risk of bonds of large housing enterprises. Strengthen the risk monitoring and early warning of urban investment bonds, take the "explosion-proof thunder" of open market bonds and non-standard debts as the top priority, and make every effort to maintain the smooth operation of the bond market.

About the earthquake trend in 1997 and

Report on strengthening the work of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction

The State Council:

Our bureau held the 1997 National Earthquake Trend Meeting from January 7 to 11, 1997, and systematically analyzed, studied and judged the earthquake trend in the next few years, mainly in 1997. The results of the consultation and opinions on strengthening earthquake prevention and disaster reduction are reported as follows:

First, the earthquake activity in China in 1996 and the earthquake trend in 1997 and the next few years

In 1996, under the background of global earthquake activity, there were 38 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above in China, including 26 in mainland China. Since July 12th, 1995, when a strong earthquake of magnitude 7.3 occurred in Menglian, Yunnan, China-Myanmar border, only more than half a year later, moderate earthquakes or strong earthquakes occurred in mainland China, including Lijiang, Yunnan, with magnitude 7.0 on February 3rd, Artux, Xinjiang, with magnitude 6.9 on March 19th, Baotou, Inner Mongolia, with magnitude 6.4 on May 3rd, South Yellow Sea with magnitude 6.1 on November 9th and Karakorum, Xinjiang with magnitude 7.1 on November 19th, indicating that mainland China is still in the process. According to preliminary statistics, the earthquake disaster in 1996 caused a total of 365 deaths and 4026 serious injuries, and the direct economic loss was about 4.6 billion yuan.

According to the follow-up analysis of seismic activities in China and the world in recent years, the meeting held that in the next few years, the seismic activities in China’s mainland will still be in the climax stage of the fifth seismic active period since this century, and several strong earthquakes of magnitude 7 or so will occur, and it is very likely that a major earthquake of magnitude 7.5 or above will occur. The main area of strong earthquake activity may be in the Qinghai-Tibet tectonic block and its marginal zone, including Himalayan seismic belt, north-south seismic belt and western Xinjiang. What needs to be pointed out in particular is that the seismic activity in eastern China, especially in North China, has entered the active period of moderate and strong earthquakes, and it is more likely that there will be many earthquakes of magnitude 5-6 or above in the next few years.

In 1997, there is a great possibility that an earthquake of magnitude 7 or above will occur in mainland China, and the earthquake-producing areas may be in the south-central section of the North-South seismic belt and the Himalayan seismic belt, especially in the area from central and eastern Xizang to the border of Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet and Qinghai. Earthquakes of magnitude 6 or so may occur in the eastern part of China’s mainland and offshore waters, especially in the northern part of North China, Bohai Sea to the North Yellow Sea. Through the comprehensive analysis of recent seismic activity and precursory observation data, the meeting determined the key dangerous areas with high possibility of destructive earthquakes in 1997.

II. Opinions on Strengthening Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction

Facing the severe earthquake situation, the work of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction should continue to fully implement the spirit of the Fifth and Sixth Plenary Sessions of the 14th CPC Central Committee, strengthen the construction of legal system, rely on scientific and technological progress, focus on promoting the ten-year goal of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction in large and medium-sized cities in key earthquake monitoring and prevention areas, realize the synchronous and coordinated development of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction with economy and society, and provide guarantee for economic construction and social stability. To this end, the following suggestions are put forward:

(a) all regions and relevant departments should be in accordance with the general office of the State Council forwarded the State Seismological Bureau on the 1994 earthquake trend and earthquake prevention and disaster reduction work report notice "(Guo Ban Fa [1994] No.36) and the general office of the State Council forwarded the State Seismological Bureau on China’s key earthquake monitoring and defense areas to determine and strengthen earthquake prevention and disaster reduction work report notice" (Guo Ban Fa [1996] No.2) spirit, combined with the actual situation of the region and the department. At present and in the future, we should focus on earthquake prevention and disaster reduction in large and medium-sized cities in key earthquake monitoring and prevention areas and actively promote them.

(two) do a good job in the implementation of the "Regulations on the Emergency of Destructive Earthquakes" and the "National Emergency Plan for Destructive Earthquakes". It is necessary to formulate or improve the "Emergency Plan for Destructive Earthquakes" in this region and department as soon as possible, increase investment in technical systems for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, especially emergency equipment, and earnestly implement preventive measures. Large and medium-sized cities located in key earthquake monitoring and defense areas should pay close attention to earthquake damage prediction.

(3) Strengthen the management of the seismic fortification work of the project and bring it into the legal track as soon as possible. Local people’s governments at all levels and relevant departments should earnestly do a good job in the determination of seismic fortification standards, seismic design and construction. It is suggested that at an appropriate time this year, the State Council should organize relevant departments to conduct an inspection on the seismic fortification work of some cities in key earthquake monitoring and prevention areas, so as to promote the implementation of the work.

(four) actively carry out publicity and education on earthquake prevention and disaster reduction knowledge. The local people’s governments at all levels, especially the people’s governments where the key earthquake monitoring and prevention areas are located, should take the publicity of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction knowledge as an important part of publicity and education, and correctly grasp the principle of "being active, prudent, scientific and effective". We can make use of the typical earthquake events with great influence at home and abroad, the earthquake memorial day such as Tangshan and the popular science publicity week to increase the publicity and popularization of education in a timely manner. Earthquake departments at all levels should actively cooperate with relevant departments to do a good job in the publicity and education of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction knowledge. Through the efforts during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, first of all, in key earthquake monitoring and defense areas, the knowledge of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction will be made a household name.

(5) In view of the earthquake situation facing North China and the special importance of the Capital Region, it is suggested that the Capital Region should be built into a comprehensive demonstration area for the ten-year goal of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction in China. Through the efforts during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, it has become the first model area for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction with the ability to resist earthquakes of magnitude 6 or so, which is of exemplary significance to the whole country.

(six) in order to effectively strengthen the work of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, the people’s governments at all levels should strengthen the leadership of earthquake prevention and disaster reduction and increase investment. The Report of the State Planning Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Seismological Bureau on Establishing and Improving the Plan System for Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Reduction and the Corresponding Funding Channels has been approved by the State Council, and the people’s governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government are requested to conscientiously implement it.

If there is nothing wrong with the above opinions, please forward them to all regions and departments for implementation.

Hot blood! Touched! The film adaptation of three bays was released today.

Today’s release

Today, the adaptation of the important turning point in the history of our army, the adaptation of the three bays, a major revolutionary historical film directed by yang hu, the first-class director of Bayi Film Studio, and starring Hou Jingjian, officially landed in the national cinema. In the "bloody battle" version of the poster released by the film, Mao Zedong blazing with anger, a young man under the artillery fire, is far-sighted and shows his leadership as a politician, revolutionary and strategist; Lu Deming, Luo Ronghuan, He Changgong, Wu Zhonghao, Zhang Ziqing, He Tingying and Zhang Zongxun, the leaders and revolutionary ancestors of the Autumn Harvest Uprising, showed their heroic and mighty side as "military commanders", either imposing or dying; Communist party member, representatives of the masses Qu Qiubai, Jin Chen, Yuan Wencai, Song Renqiong, Zhong Laodie and other figures also appeared one by one, forming a group of passionate revolutionary images, which reappeared the eventful history that happened in Jiangxi more than 90 years ago.

In 1927, the revolutionary army of autumn harvest uprising led by Mao Zedong went to Sanwan Village, Yongxin County, Jiangxi Province. In order to save the revolutionary army in trouble, Mao Zedong strategically put forward a set of general plans for running the army, such as "the branch is built in the company" and "the officers and men are equal", which is called "the adaptation of the three bays" in history. The film "Adaptation of Three Bays" truly restores this period of history with poetic style, grand war scenes and delicate characterization. It not only presents a broad and touching film for the audience, but also is a significant lesson in party history education. The film was praised by many film and television experts and ordinary audiences when it was screened in advance. Many netizens expressed their great expectation for the official release of the film, and with the film landing in national theaters, many highlights of the adaptation of Three Bay were also announced one by one.

It took two months to restore the "three bays" scene at 1: 1.

Grand War Scenes Create "Autumn Harvest Uprising"

War-themed films have always been loved by the audience. Many films not only bring shocking enjoyment to the audience with commercial story rhythm, lens scheduling and special effects, but also infect the audience with the values of blood, inspiration and positive energy, which makes people feel the righteousness of the soldiers and deeply rooted in the feelings of home and country under the entertaining viewing experience. The Adaptation of Three Bays is also such a film that combines the grand and fierce war scenes, showing how the revolutionary army broke through the siege under difficult circumstances, and finally got out of danger and headed for victory. In order to reproduce the extraordinary history of "Three Bay Adaptation", many masters of Bayi Film Studio worked hard to design Sanwan Village 100 years ago. After more than two months of day and night construction, the main scene of "Three Bay Adaptation" was built at a scale of 1: 1 on a wasteland-the roads were muddy and the village houses were scattered, which had both Jiangxi customs and the vicissitudes of war.

The Autumn Harvest Uprising before the "Three Bay Adaptation" was a large-scale armed movement led by Mao Zedong. When Mao Zedong led the revolutionary army of workers and peasants to retreat, he was surrounded by the enemy and had a fierce battle with it. In order to make the film more war-like, Bayi Film Studio, which is good at shooting war scenes, not only filmed fierce, bloody and visually impactful war scenes such as the confrontation between two armies and the charge of soldiers, but also carefully designed grand and poetic war scenes such as galloping horses, which broke through the traditional expression of war films and made people shine. At the same time, in order to create a grand war scene, with the assistance of the local government, the crew mobilized hundreds of extras in a short period of time. During the filming of the war scenes, the number of extras reached 200 to 300 every day, and more than 6,000 group performances were used in the whole filming process, which fully reflected the friendship between the military and the people.

Yang hu truly presents the historic turning point of our army.

Hou Jingjian vividly interprets the style of great men.

In terms of production, "Adaptation of Three Bay" brings together the most elite behind-the-scenes lineup of Bayi Film Studio. Director yang hu is a first-class director, who has participated in the production of more than 60 film and television works, and has been nominated for the Golden Rooster Award in China for many times and recognized by major international film awards. His masterpiece "Love with Pamir" won the highest award of the 17th Italian International Military Film Festival "President of the Republic Award" and the 12th China Film "Huabiao Award". The film "For Life" won the first prize of the most influential society at the Italian International Military Film Festival, the Golden Panda Documentary Award at the 10th International Film Festival and the most patriotic award at the Russian Ozerov Military Film Festival. In recent years, his masterpiece Believers won the "Five One Project Award" in Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, the special honor of the jury of the media attention unit of Shanghai International Film Festival, and the honor of supporting actor who received the most media attention. Director yang hu’s works not only have the soldier’s perseverance and faith, but also have the soldier’s feelings and romance, and his unique image style is highly praised by the industry. In addition, Xiao Yusheng, a senior expert of the Leading Group for Party History and Military History of the Central Military Commission, a member of the Leading Group for the Creation of National Major Revolutionary Historical Themes, and the chief expert of the National Marxist Theoretical Engineering, served as the chief screenwriter of The Adaptation of the Three Bays, giving the film a rigorous historical view. Screenwriter Grace Wai Wong’s works have also been affirmed by many heavyweight film and television awards, such as "Five One Project Award", "Flying Award" and "Golden Eagle Award", with good strength.

Hou Jingjian, a young actor who plays Mao Zedong in the film, has starred in film and television works such as Autumn Harvest Uprising, Great Turning Point and The Awakeing Age, and has played the role of leader Mao Zedong many times. Under the baptism of many red classics, Hou Jingjian has become one of the most recognized young Chairman Mao’s actors. In the most popular tribute drama The Awakeing Age, he performed Mao Zedong in the early days of the revolution delicately, vividly and passionately, which was deeply loved by young audiences. In "Three Bay Adaptation", he will play a unique image of young Mao Zedong, who not only has foresight and shows his military talents, but also has to go to the battlefield and fight with a pistol. Compared with Chairman Mao, who is impressed by the audience as a Chinese, he highlights his leadership and great demeanor on the battlefield.

Aspect 3

"Vivid Party History" was well received.

Fill in the blank of major revolutionary historical themes

The film "Adaptation of the Three Bays" not only gives the audience visual enjoyment with grand war scenes and vivid characterization, but also restores the important turning point in the history of our army "Adaptation of the Three Bays" with a rigorous historical view, and refines the great "Adaptation Spirit of the Three Bays", which is highly praised by scholars and film experts in the industry. Fan Yongge, deputy director of the Film and Television Literature Committee of the Chinese Writers Association, said: "The film vividly restores history, shows a distinct spirit of exploration, and has both aesthetics of documentary films and literary films, which brings the emotional distance between the audience and the older generation of revolutionaries closer and makes people feel shocked and infected ideologically." Wang Yichuan, director of the Research Center for Literature and Art of Beijing Normal University, professor of the College of Literature and Art, and chairman of the China Association of Literary Critics, said: "The film Adaptation of the Three Bays reproduces an important event in the blending of party history and military history by means of images, with clear main line, complete narrative and smooth expression. Mao Zedong, He Changgong, Lu Deming and other figures are vivid and stand up, which is in line with the historical situation and historical truth of the year. " Liu Xiaowei, director of the Cultural Editorial Office of the People’s Liberation Army Daily, gave great recognition to the adaptation of the Three Bays: "The adaptation of the Three Bays is an important work at an important time node, and it is also a film work that fills the gap. It tells the familiar adaptation of the Three Bays with more temperature and texture artistic expression."

"The party in the adaptation of the Three Bays casts the soul of the army, which is to cast the party’s ideals and beliefs into the army and give it political power. Only by putting the people first can we give full play to the party’s strength." This is General He Jiming’s unique insight into the significance of "Three Bay Adaptation", which has been extolling the spirit of "Three Bay Adaptation" for decades. As he said, it is of great significance for our party, our army and the broad masses of the people to learn the spirit of "three bays adaptation". Standing at the historical moment of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the release of "Adapted from Three Bays" coincides with the right time, which has contributed a vivid teaching material for studying the history of the Party to Comrade party member and the people.

In previous screenings of "The Adaptation of Three Bay" in Beijing, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Kunming, Shenyang, Ji ‘an and other places, the audience expressed that the film was bloody and moving. "The clank of iron displayed by communist party people in the face of torture is awe-inspiring, which is why we won the final victory." "After watching the movie, I finally understand the historical position and significance of the’ Three Bay Adaptation’, which is worthy of being a vivid textbook of party history." The most touching thing is that the film makes the veterans who really experienced the revolutionary liberation war feel the same way. After watching the film, a 93-year-old veteran sighed excitedly: "I am a veteran and joined the army in 1947. This year, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Party by showing the adaptation of Three Bays, which I think is very meaningful. By watching movies, we have strengthened our determination to listen to the party, continue to follow the party and realize the great rejuvenation of our motherland. " After that, he trembled and bowed to the film master at the scene. "Thanks to the film director and the crew."

The film was produced by Jiangxi Film Studio Co., Ltd., China People’s Liberation Army Bayi Film Studio, Ji ‘an Radio and Television Station and Jinggangshan Xijiangyue Culture Media Co., Ltd., distributed by Jinggangshan Xijiangyue Culture Media Co., Ltd. and jointly distributed by China Film Co., Ltd. Beijing Film Distribution Branch. Liu Jianting is the chief producer, directed by yang hu, written by Xiao Yusheng, written by Grace Wai Wong and starring Hou Jingjian. It is released nationwide today.

Davidson "brushes existence"? The purpose of creating the concept of "Indo-Pacific" by the US is not pure.

  Cctv newsOn May 30th, local time, US Secretary of Defense james mathis announced that the US Pacific Command was officially renamed Indian Ocean-Pacific Command. At the same time, Philip Davidson, a four-star general of the US Navy, also took office on the same day, replacing retired Harris as the first commander of the Indo-Pacific Command and officially taking over the United States, the world’s largest war zone that spans half the world. It is also a name change and a coaching change. What is the intention of this intensive action in the United States?

  Defense Minister Matisse presided over the handover ceremony.

  On May 30, local time, the handover ceremony of the US "India-Pacific Command" was held in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The ceremony was presided over by US Secretary of Defense Matisse, and the first commander Philip Davidson and other US naval officials attended. In addition to announcing the official name change, Matisse also clearly declared that the name change was due to the growing ties between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, which symbolized the determination and commitment of the United States to the Indian Ocean-Pacific region.

  News link: US Indian Ocean-Pacific Command

  In the global military strategy of the United States, the Indo-Pacific Command plays an important role. The U.S. Pacific Command is one of the six major U.S. theater commands in the world, and it is also the largest one. The headquarters of the Indo-Pacific Command is located in Hawaii. Its predecessor, Pacific Command, is the earliest, largest and most extensive joint operations command of the US military. It has nearly 375,000 soldiers and civilians, and the Pacific Fleet alone has 130,000 troops and about 200 ships and nearly 1,100 aircraft including five aircraft carrier battle groups.

  Davidson, the first commander, once said "brush existence"

  It is widely speculated that the position of the first commander Davidson may be tougher than that of his predecessor. Because before, when Davidson appointed the hearing, he openly expressed the desire of the United States for influence in the Indian Ocean and Pacific region.

  Davidson, 58, the first commander of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, served in the U.S. surface naval forces for a long time. Earlier, when attending the appointment hearing in the Senate, Davidson said that after taking office, the US military presence in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific region will be adjusted, and the priorities include strengthening the US military deployment in the region, arms upgrading, operational preparation, and power projection.

  According to American media reports, Davidson believes that the troops deployed in the forefront of the Indo-Pacific region and the rotation troops are insufficient, and the current force structure and deployment situation are "not enough to deal with the threats in the Indo-Pacific region." He also claimed that the US military should continue to be committed to equipping a new generation of weapons, such as long-range hypersonic weapons. Observers believe that Davidson’s position may be tougher than that of Harry Harris, the former commander of the Pacific Command, who is regarded as the "hawk" of the US military’s Asia-Pacific policy.

  News link: The concept of "Indo-Pacific" made by the US has a long history.

  In fact, the idea of the United States relocating the so-called "Indian Ocean-Pacific" war zone has a long history.

  In October last year, Tillerson, then US Secretary of State, repeatedly replaced the word "Asia-Pacific" with "Indo-Pacific" in public, and declared that the United States needed to strengthen cooperation with all parties in the region; In November last year, at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit held in Da Nang, Vietnam, the word "Indian Ocean-Pacific" almost became one of the most important keywords in his speech. In many subsequent public occasions, senior officials of the US government frequently used the so-called "Indo-Pacific" concept.

  At the same time, not long ago, according to the website of the US Military Times, the Armed Services Committee of the US House of Representatives stressed in a 15-page outline of the 2019 National Defense Act that it is necessary to "pass the so-called &lsquo; Indian Ocean-Pacific Stability Plan &rsquo; Provide funds for the Ministry of National Defense to plan and provide necessary troops, military infrastructure and logistics capabilities in the region. The bill also calls for enhancing "awareness of maritime safety and marine areas in the Indian Ocean".

  Foreign Ministry of China: The United States should exist in the Asia-Pacific region in a responsible manner.

  At the regular press conference of China’s Foreign Ministry yesterday, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying also responded that no matter how the name is changed or called, the United States should exist in the Asia-Pacific region in a responsible manner and play a constructive role in regional peace and stability.

Circular economy and consumption upgrading combine with new measures to make consumption more prosperous.

Combine circular economy with consumption upgrading.
27 new measures, consumption is more prosperous

New energy vehicles, smart homes and 5G terminals are becoming new growth points of consumption. A few days ago, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the Implementation Plan for Promoting the Updating and Upgrading of Key Consumer Goods and Smooth Resource Recycling (2019-2020), which proposed 27 measures from four aspects: product supply, updating and upgrading, use environment and recycling, to promote the updating and upgrading of automobiles, household appliances and consumer electronics products and promote the recycling of old products. Experts pointed out that the promulgation of the "Implementation Plan" is of great significance for continuously releasing the potential of domestic demand and promoting higher quality, more sustainable and healthy economic and social development.

New energy vehicles are not limited, and they are not limited to purchase.

"The four core words of consolidation, enhancement, promotion and smoothness are the overall tone of the Implementation Plan." Gao Huiqing, director of the Strategic Planning Division of the Development Research Department of the National Information Center, said, "The Implementation Plan combines circular economy with consumption upgrading, and makes an overall plan for improving product quality, improving consumption levels, and smoothing resource recycling."

Among them, promoting the automobile market "changing cages for birds" is the most concerned part of this round of new policies to promote consumption. Gao Huiqing pointed out that automobile consumption is an important growth point to stimulate consumption, and promoting the upgrading of automobile products is an important task at present.

In view of the high proportion of old products currently in use, the "Implementation Plan" starts from the structural adjustment of vehicles, encourages the accelerated elimination of old products with high emissions and low transportation efficiency through appropriate means, and promotes the popularization and application of new energy, energy-saving and environmental protection products through upgrading, and promotes the "cage change for birds" in the automobile market. Wu Songquan, chief expert of China Automotive Technology Research Center and director of the Political Research Center, said that under the circumstances of profound changes in the external environment and downward pressure on the domestic automobile market, the "Implementation Plan" was issued at the right time, releasing a strong signal to support market consumption, which will be of great significance to the stable development of the automobile market and industrial transformation and upgrading at present and in the future.

In view of the difficulty in getting a license on a car and getting on the road, the "Implementation Plan" clearly stipulates that it is necessary to resolutely break the barriers to the consumption of passenger cars. It is strictly forbidden to introduce new regulations on automobile purchase restriction in various places. Local governments that have implemented automobile purchase restriction should speed up the shift from restricting purchase to guiding use according to the effects of urban traffic congestion, pollution control and traffic demand control. At the same time, it is particularly emphasized that all localities should not impose restrictions or purchase restrictions on new energy vehicles, and those that have been implemented should be cancelled; Encourage local governments to give support to car-free families to purchase the first home new energy vehicle. "New energy vehicles are a new consumption growth point in the automobile market. This new policy is strong and targeted, which will play a powerful role in expanding domestic demand. " Gao Huiqing said.

Change smart home and recycle old household appliances.

According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the penetration rate of refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, range hoods and water heaters in urban households in China has exceeded 70% at present. Among them, refrigerators and washing machines are close to saturation, and air conditioners are developing in the direction of one household with multiple machines. With the increase of per capita disposable income and the improvement of material life, the consumption market of household appliances has shown the characteristics of high penetration rate and large demand for upgrading, and the consumption of household appliances has also begun to upgrade from functional consumption to quality consumption and service consumption.

The "Implementation Plan" encourages consumers to update and eliminate household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and televisions with high energy consumption and poor safety, and give appropriate support to consumers in purchasing energy-saving and intelligent household appliances where conditions permit; Encourage production enterprises to further benefit consumers.

What about the replaced old household appliances? The "Implementation Plan" encourages the construction of recycling and dismantling systems for products such as color TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners, and promotes the recycling of waste household appliances. Xu Dongsheng, vice chairman of China Household Electrical Appliances Association, explained that the waste household appliances can be recycled after standardized dismantling, which is not only conducive to reducing environmental pollution, but also promoting the development of circular economy. Some parts of household appliances also contain rare earth magnetic materials, which have higher recycling value. The "Implementation Plan" proposes to improve the recycling system of waste products, which is conducive to promoting the recycling of waste household appliances, thus making the resource benefits and environmental benefits of household appliances more significant in the whole life cycle.

The "Implementation Plan" also encourages in-depth pilot projects for cross-industry application of smart homes. Xu Dongsheng believes that this will promote the coordinated development of home appliances, security, lighting and other industries related to smart home, thus bringing more and better smart home products to consumers and driving the transformation and upgrading of the whole industry.

Consumption such as 5G terminals will usher in an outbreak.

Expanding consumption depends not only on the upgrading of the stock market, but also on the huge driving force of new supply. The "Implementation Plan" regards updating and upgrading consumer electronic products as one of the important areas to enhance consumption vitality and release the potential of domestic demand, with classified guidance and precise policy.

Yu Xiaohui, chief engineer of China Information and Communication Research Institute, pointed out that 5G commercialization will stimulate the consumption of new intelligent terminal products and become a new important growth point in the consumption field. "2019 is the first year of 5G commercialization. With the characteristics of high speed, large connection and low delay, 5G will become an important pillar for smart terminals to expand new functions and new forms, and stimulate residents to upgrade their consumption of smart terminals." Yu Xiaohui said that it is predicted that global smartphone shipments will rebound in 2019, with a year-on-year increase of about 3%. At the same time, 5G will form an aggregation effect with big data, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, cloud computing, etc., and promote the Internet of Everything to the era of all things, and trillions of terminal devices such as smart wearable devices, smart home appliances, smart cars and intelligent robots will enter the fast lane of development. The consumer electronics industry represented by 5G terminals, flexible display, ultra-high definition and virtual reality industries will also usher in an explosive period of market growth.

Yu Xiaohui believes that the next step will be to strengthen the network foundation and optimize the supporting environment by promoting gigabit broadband access, strengthening the research and development and industrial application of cutting-edge core technologies such as artificial intelligence, and exploring new formats of "internet plus" resource recovery, which will effectively promote the upgrading of consumer electronics and enhance consumption vitality.

Attention! "ADHD" can’t be equated with mischief.

  When children suffer from a disease called "attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder" (hereinafter referred to as "ADHD"), many parents are still in the dark. On the surface, children are just active, unable to sit still, and even appear smarter than other children. Isn’t this the "nature" of children in the traditional concept?

  In medicine, behind hyperactivity is that attention can’t be concentrated normally. Hyperactivity may decrease with the increase of age and self-control, but it is difficult to alleviate the defect of attention, which may affect children’s life in study, work and life.

  The Second People’s Hospital of Guizhou Province (Guizhou Mental Health Center) opened a special outpatient clinic for children and adolescents with learning difficulties on March 6th this year. Over the past six months, it has received hundreds of cases of "ADHD" among adolescents, and carried out professional intervention treatment under the guidance of the expert team of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in the Sixth Hospital of Peking University.

  "ADHD" can’t be equated with mischief.

  Medical "attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder" is often just hyperactivity or mischief in the cognition of many parents. "There are many sick boys, and children are often smarter and have high IQ." Xiong Jie, deputy director of the Women and Children Psychiatry Department of the Second People’s Hospital of Guizhou Province, said, "Many parents didn’t notice &lsquo; Move around &rsquo; The attention deficit problem behind it. "

  Many details in children’s life can be used to judge whether they have attention problems: whether children in kindergarten can concentrate on listening to a story told by their parents; When children draw, will they unconsciously turn their eyes from drawing paper to pen tip? Is it always a drag to finish the exercises &hellip; &hellip;

  Other children will provoke their classmates lightly, and may draw a picture on their classmates when sharpening pencils; Can’t stand the constraints of classroom discipline and get along well with teachers and classmates; Parents who often fight are invited &hellip; &hellip; Qian Ying, deputy director of Peking University Sixth Hospital and Peking University Clinical Psychology Center, explained that "hyperactivity" is a dimension of attention deficit, and there are many subtle manifestations in patients’ study and life.

  "There is something called dopamine in their brains that is not enough." Qian Ying made an analogy: "There seems to be a battle in the brain. When dopamine secretion is normal, the marshal in the brain can direct everything. When it is time to move, it should be quiet. If the dopamine secretion is less, the marshal may fall asleep and the soldiers will start to move uncontrollably. "

  An article published in the Chinese Journal of Epidemiology in 2018 showed that the total prevalence rate of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder among children in China was 5.6%, and subgroup analysis showed that the prevalence rate of boys was 7.7% and that of girls was 3.4%. Qian Ying said that less than 1/3 of the patients were formally treated, and the proportion of patients receiving formal treatment after treatment was even lower.

  The reason why children fall behind in their grades may be the lack of concentration.

  The reason why some teenagers really go to the hospital is that there is a problem in their learning status. After analyzing a large number of cases, it is found that the first and third grades of primary school are the peak periods for children to suffer from ADHD.

  Xiong Jie’s children have just entered the first grade this year, and the teacher will ask Xiong Jie for advice: Why can’t some children in the class concentrate on the lecture anyway? This directly leads to their inability to keep up with their studies. "If six or seven-year-old children can only concentrate for a few minutes, they will definitely not be able to study normally." Xiong Jie said.

  The study found that some sick children have high IQ, and they can not concentrate on each class for a long time in the first and second grades, but they can also learn some knowledge, and they can barely keep up with the learning progress by being smart. Generally, in the third grade, academic performance will drop significantly. At this time, if you don’t see a doctor again, by the sixth grade and junior high school, your child will face more serious problems. "It is often that academic performance is not good and interpersonal communication is not good. How do children find themselves unloved?" Qian Ying said that children will feel inferior because of this, and with the advent of adolescence, many children have a stiff relationship with their parents.

  Qian Ying opposes that some parents often say that their children are too rebellious in adolescence. "In fact, the child is wronged in his heart. He can’t control himself, but there is something wrong with dopamine in his brain." Through contact with a large number of patients, Qian Ying found that if children at this time did not feel the warmth of teachers, classmates and relatives, and did not see a doctor in time, they were most likely to get into bad habits, such as indulging in the Internet, smoking, drinking and even committing crimes.

  Xiong Jie and experts from the Sixth Hospital of Peking University once went to a drug rehabilitation center for investigation, and found that the proportion of drug addicts with ADHD in childhood was very high, and they basically did not receive professional intervention. Many people’s life trajectories are also surprisingly similar: from poor academic performance to behavioral problems, they gradually affect their emotions and appear personality defects, and then they are misled by others to further develop drug addiction &hellip; &hellip;

  Professional treatment should be promoted to preschool age.

  "Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder" has the same obvious influence on a person as an adult.

  Among the cases studied in Peking University Sixth Hospital, lateness and procrastination are the most common problems. Some patients have never been able to go to work on time, and serious "starting difficulties" have made him often criticized by leaders; Some patients are seriously procrastinating and incompetent, and are considered irresponsible by colleagues; Some people have serious emotional problems because of self-blame, and their social status as adults is very low, and they can’t keep up with their peers.

  Some patients will show "high function". A doctoral student in Peking University, whose research ability is not weak, has been unable to start writing a thesis; A 40-year-old university teacher completed his knowledge accumulation by amazing self-discipline, but he had to make a particularly strict time schedule to complete his work. After becoming a doctoral tutor, he had to rely on drugs to improve his attention to complete his teaching and research tasks.

  Qian Ying believes that to prevent similar problems in adulthood, it is necessary to intervene from an early age. One of her important research directions is preschool intervention. At present, the internationally accepted cognition is "early judgment, early action and active treatment". Qian Ying explained that this means that it is not necessary to make a diagnosis for preschool children with ADHD, but it is necessary to carry out professional intervention, especially non-drug intervention, as soon as possible.

  Qian Ying was particularly pleased that after the opening of the adolescent learning disability clinic in the Second People’s Hospital of Guizhou Province for half a year, she had the first preschool child to see a doctor. Although the final diagnosis showed that the child was not ADHD, Qian Ying believed that this showed that parents in the western region began to sprout their understanding of the disease.

  Qian Ying explained that people’s brains will be more mature when they reach a certain age, but people’s executive skills will last longer, and some people will continue to develop into adulthood. Some professional methods can be used to promote the development level of children with slow development of executive skills.

  At present, Peking University Sixth Hospital and Shenzhen Children’s Hospital are jointly trying to intervene on "attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder" before school, and foreign professional researchers are also involved. Qian Ying found that after several months of training, some children made obvious progress. "The exact conclusion may be studied in five years." Qian Ying said.

  Going to a mental health hospital for treatment is a difficult psychological hurdle to overcome.

  In order to let more families know about the treatment knowledge of preschool ADHD, Qian Ying wrote a book on how to carry out family group training of executive skills, so that more parents can find problems, pay attention to them and make some active interventions for their children.

  She believes that it is more important to let parents and children really sit in front of professional doctors, but the current embarrassment is that professional doctors often take their children into these places in mental health research institutions or "mental hospitals" that people often express, which is still difficult for many people.

  Qian Ying noticed that some private early education institutions have set up children’s concentration training courses, and the fees are ten times or even dozens of times that of public hospitals. Many parents are willing to sign up their children. She believes that on the one hand, it is necessary to see that these institutions are mixed and there are no teaching standards, and the professionalism of teachers may not be qualified for the curriculum requirements; On the other hand, in the future, professional medical institutions can cooperate with educational institutions to integrate professional knowledge into the curriculum of kindergartens and schools, which will be more acceptable to children and parents.

  WU GANG, director of the Women and Children’s Department of the Second People’s Hospital of Guizhou Province, also said, "I hope that professional outpatient clinics can drive more people to pay attention to the psychological problems of teenagers, and treat them as a cold." WU GANG plans to get a batch of professional diagnosis and treatment equipment for departments, send more medical staff to participate in professional study, and build a platform for cooperation with educational institutions and non-profit organizations in the future, so as to drive away the "sense of shame" under old ideas and let more children with ADHD receive treatment happily.

The Middle East is at the most chaotic moment in 50 years: the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has triggered a humanitarian crisis.

October 7th marks one year since the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out. On the same day last year, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) launched a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood", which fired a large number of rockets at Israel and carried out ground attacks, prompting Israel to declare a state of war and fight back. The tragedy caused by the conflict is particularly obvious in Gaza. According to the data of local health department, as of October 5, there have been more than 150,000 Palestinian casualties, including 41,000 deaths, accounting for 33.1% of children and 18.3% of women, and even more than 700 infants have died. The Lancet magazine estimated that the actual death toll may have exceeded 186,000, which far exceeds the civilian casualties in previous conflicts in the Middle East.

The turmoil in the Middle East has a long history and has experienced many wars. However, the tragic degree and humanitarian crisis of this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict have never been seen before, and the conflict has spread to Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iran. Exploring the reasons behind it, in addition to historical grievances, this round of conflict presents new characteristics, making it difficult to contain the escalation of violence. In the past, Israel’s actions were limited to a certain extent by the international political structure, but the current lack of international balance and the right-wing political tendency in Israel have led to more radical policies. At the same time, changes in the balance of power in the Middle East, such as the easing of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran and Syria’s return to the Arab League, have made Israel feel threatened, and the decline of American influence has further prompted it to take tough measures.

Although the United Nations and other international organizations have intervened many times to try to ease the situation, including giving Palestine more rights on the international stage, the ruling of the International Court of Justice and the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly, they have failed to effectively restrain Israel’s actions, but have aggravated regional tensions, especially Israel’s potential attack plan on Iran, making the prospects for peace increasingly slim.

This persistent cycle of violence highlights the inadequacy of the current international security order and the lag of security concepts. To break the vicious circle of fighting violence with violence, all parties to the conflict, especially the dominant party, need to realize that real security should be based on equality and sustainability, rather than sacrificing the security of other countries. This is not only the key to resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but also the only way to achieve long-term peace in the Middle East.
