　　Published in China Newsweek magazine, No.1132, March 18th, 2024.

　　On March 1st, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council presided over the the State Council executive meeting, which discussed and adopted the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods. The meeting pointed out that "promoting a new round of large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods is a major decision made by the CPC Central Committee focusing on the overall situation of China’s high-quality development".

　　In 2023, China’s exports denominated in US dollars decreased by 4.6% year-on-year, which was the first year-on-year negative growth since 2016; Domestically, due to the downturn in the real estate market, the growth rate of investment has also declined. The decision of "trade-in" of consumer goods is put forward in the current complicated domestic and international environment, hoping to play a role in "stabilizing and expanding traditional consumption".

　　The meeting pointed out that this round of "trade-in" should "combine the differentiated needs of upgrading various types of equipment and consumer goods, and increase fiscal, taxation, financial and other policy support". In terms of related fields, "actively carry out the trade-in of consumer goods such as automobiles and household appliances, forming the scale effect of upgrading". It can be seen that this round of "trade-in" is more focused on bulk consumption represented by durable goods. Different from the consumption stimulus policies such as automobile tax reduction and exemption since the epidemic, the meeting clearly pointed out that it is necessary to form a "scale effect of upgrading", indicating that the strength of the policy is unprecedented and the goal to be achieved is clear.

　　Similar to the "home appliances going to the countryside" that began at the end of 2008, this round of "trade-in" is partly due to the decline of external demand, which is intended to expand the domestic demand market and stabilize economic growth. The difference is that, first, the demand is different. If "home appliances going to the countryside" is to meet the rigid demand of residents’ life, then this round of "trade-in" is to meet the improvement demand, and further improve the standard and improve the quality of life of residents on the premise that the basic living materials of residents are met; Second, the target groups are different. "Home appliances going to the countryside" is more about filling the gap of rural household appliances, that is, it is aimed at the problem of insufficient supply of rural household appliances, but this problem does not exist in this round of "trade-in". At present, even rural families have already achieved the popularization of household appliances, and the target groups of this round are mainly the owners of existing durable consumer goods such as cars and household appliances.

　　In view of the characteristics of this round of "trade-in", it can be promoted from the following aspects:

　　First, introduce a relative "elimination" model. This round of "trade-in" is aimed at improving demand, and consumers have greater selectivity than just needed. In the face of the downward pressure of economy, most consumers have the psychology of delaying consumption in the face of improving consumption of durable goods with large expenditure. To ensure that the policy achieves the "scale effect of upgrading", it is necessary to increase policy support for some commodities. For automobile consumption, we can give more subsidies and tax incentives to certain types of vehicles, such as new energy vehicles, and promote the popularization and improvement of other supporting facilities needed for this type of vehicles. For consumer goods such as household appliances, the relative "elimination" mode can be introduced through the formulation of corresponding exchange rules, so as to promote trade-in and reduce delayed consumption. For example, through the formulation of exchange standards, the circulation value of old household appliances can be clarified, and then the relative elimination cost of old household appliances can be clarified, so as to promote residents to deal with the consumption of old household appliances as soon as possible and reduce the delayed consumption of household appliances.

　　Second, set standards as soon as possible. "Trade-in" first needs to set the standard of "exchange" to meet the needs of different groups, and the standard can be set from different dimensions. From the dimension of consumer goods, it is necessary to set the standard of "old" exchange for "new"; Different subsidies, discounts and exchange standards can also be set for "new", even if the preferential strength is not great, it will have the effect of forcing manufacturers to upgrade their products.

　　The purpose of "trade-in" is to improve the quality of life of residents, but it does not mean wasting. Therefore, in the process of "trade-in", we should really consider the rights and interests of consumers and the allocation benefits of resources.

　　First, strengthen the recycling of durable goods and develop circular economy. Exchange is divided into two parts: recovery and reuse. The "recycling" part is to exchange the old for the new, which mainly involves the formulation of standards and the operation and maintenance of platform accounts, and the "reuse" part is to further improve social utility through the differentiation of improvement needs. In view of different personal preferences and consumption levels, the performance of some replaced old consumer goods may still be better than that of new consumer goods with relatively low prices. In this way, through reasonable points exchange and the construction of second-hand platforms, both parties can obtain satisfactory results and further improve the effectiveness of both parties. The significance of building the "exchange and recycling" platform lies in improving the liquidity of durable goods such as household appliances, speeding up the process of eliminating and upgrading household appliances, promoting the consumption of durable goods, and improving the quality of life of floating population and renters. The circulation of second-hand household appliances is especially beneficial to the development of the housing rental market and promotes the flow of talents.

　　Second, we should respect the property rights of residents’ private property. Household appliances and automobiles are the private property of residents, and they are generally "big items" in household durable goods, with high value, accounting for a relatively large proportion of residents’ property. We should earnestly consider the rights and interests and economic situation of existing consumer goods owners, resolutely put an end to the practice of forcing household durable goods to be scrapped by means of laws and administrative orders, and effectively protect the property rights of residents. "Trade-in" should be implemented on the basis of residents’ willingness. The design and implementation of policies should ensure the realization of "Pareto improvement", that is, the welfare of some people can be improved without harming the welfare of others.

Feng Yuyi, a trainee reporter of Southern Finance and Economics, reports from Zhuhai.

In the era of Industry 4.0, AGV/AMR (Mobile Robot for Industrial Application) has become a vital part of industrial production intelligence, and gradually penetrated into manufacturing, logistics and service industries, and the charging industry promoted by this is in the cusp of vigorous development.

At present, the 100 billion-level charging and power market formed by new energy industrial vehicles such as mobile robots, mining machines, low-speed unmanned vehicles and lithium-ion forklifts, as well as the continuation market of secondary sales of charging modules, power batteries and replacement of charging equipment, are accelerating.

According to the forecast of AGV/AMR industry alliance, it is estimated that the new AGV/AMR in China will exceed 120,000 units in 2023, and the new market will exceed 200,000 units in 2025, with a market scale exceeding 45 billion yuan. The compound growth rate of sales in the next five years will remain above 40%. Among them, AGV/AMR charging and power system are two important systems of electric industrial vehicles, accounting for over 8%.

"Electrification and intelligentization of industrial vehicles are the general trend. Even though industrial manufacturing has faced various difficulties in the past three years, the AGV/AMR charging industry is still in a period of rapid growth with strong demand and full of resilience. With the diversified application scenarios of mobile robots, the penetration rate of the charging industry will be further improved. " Recently, Zou Jianjun, founder, chairman and CEO of Guangdong Titan Intelligent Power Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Titan Intelligent"), said in an interview with Southern Finance and Economics all-media reporter.

Founded in 2016, Titan Intelligence is a state-level specialized and new "Little Giant" enterprise focusing on providing overall energy solutions and back-end data services for new energy industrial vehicles. In the context of rising industry demand and maturing technology, Titan Intelligent won the A round of financing from Zhuoshi Investment in 2022.

Compete for product pricing power

At the beginning of Titan Intelligent’s entry into the new track, it coincided with the wave of "oil to electricity" and "lead to lithium" for industrial vehicles. Under the market reform dividend brought by the "double carbon" background, Titan Intelligent stood out and quickly opened the market with its research and development capabilities and market sense.

When talking about why the track was chosen, Zou Jianjun said, "In the process of a customer chat, it was found that the AGV/AMR charging industry is generally a’ one-price’ sale, which is completely a market where the seller has the pricing power." After market research, he found that the domestic AGV/AMR and the charging products of electrified industrial vehicles were almost all imported from abroad. Although the domestic market demand was huge, there was no bargaining power.

After gaining insight into this new market trend, Titan Intelligent accelerated its layout research and development with AGV/AMR and intelligent lithium-ion charging equipment and batteries for electrified industrial vehicles as the main business, and the annual investment in research and development accounted for about 10% of its main business income. In a few years, Titan Intelligent Power has successively launched the digital intelligent charging series for industrial electric vehicles, the side charging and charging integrated machine series for intelligent manipulator of mobile robots, the power battery series for mobile robots, the power battery series for low-speed unmanned vehicles, the power charging series for low-speed unmanned vehicles, wireless charging for mobile robots and other efficient and stable overall charging solutions. The application scenarios involved run through all links of the whole industrial chain, and cover application places such as logistics and transportation, smart home appliances and public infrastructure.

"Although we started later than foreign countries, relying on China’s R&D foundation and industrial chain advantages in the field of new energy charging, we quickly mastered the right to speak in the industry in the game with foreign products, let the price return to a reasonable range, and achieve the domestic market share. First." Zou Jianjun said that more and more foreign manufacturers began to choose to use Titan smart products.

According to reports, while entering the mainstream AGV brand manufacturers in China, including Hangcha Group, Heli Forklift, Kuka Robot, Xinsong Robot, BYD, etc., Titan Intelligence has also obtained international qualification certifications such as cTUVus and CE, and is exported to 195 countries and regions such as America, Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia and Australia, reaching a global coverage rate of 85%. Internationalization has become one of the ideas of Titan’s intelligent "by going up one flight of stairs". Zou Jianjun said, "The forklift truck for lithium battery industry is our important market. 70%-80% of the demand is overseas. Expanding business overseas is equivalent to catching this blue ocean market."

According to the data of Chinafork. com, the global forklift market will be about 150 billion yuan in 2022, including 110 billion yuan in overseas market and 40 billion yuan in domestic market. Domestic forklifts mostly use lithium battery as the main power, and the trend of replacing lead-acid battery forklifts in foreign markets has accelerated significantly, or it will usher in important development opportunities.

With the iterative upgrading of new energy battery technology, it also brings more room for improvement for the mobile robot industry, and is highly expected in reducing costs, improving efficiency, and industrial transformation and upgrading.

Based on long-term observation of the market, Zou Jianjun bet on lithium iron phosphate battery. Titan Intelligent established a subsidiary-Zhuhai Titan Lineng Technology Co., Ltd., and has its own PACK factory, which mainly develops and produces AMR and AGV power lithium battery packs, further improving the overall solution of the power system.

In Zou Jianjun’s view, compared with traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries have the advantages of lighter weight, smaller volume and higher energy density, so the lithium battery forklift model is more compact and the vehicle stability is higher. "And in recent years, the acceptance of lithium battery forklifts by end customers, especially high-end customers, has steadily increased. We believe that the future development prospects of the lithium battery market are very broad."

Explore and create a new model of "energy products+data services"

Walking into the research laboratory of Titan Intelligence, the wireless charger, which is called the "charging treasure" of the mobile robot, is executing the command set by the wireless energy emitting device, and automatically recognizes charging from a distance after finishing the workflow. A series of actions are flowing, and fully automatic and intelligent charging can be realized without connecting vehicles.

This is the research and development site of Titan Intelligent’s autonomous intelligent AGV charging system based on magnetic coupling resonant wireless charging technology, which has no electrode oxidation and fouling, reduces the charging accident caused by poor electrode contact, not only improves the safety and applicability, but also makes AGV charging products more intelligent.

Zou Jianjun revealed that the high-power wireless charger series independently developed by the company has built technical barriers in coil design, circuit research and core algorithm. At present, it has completed the verification in the laboratory stage and will go to the stage of commercialization and mass production next year. "The era of wireless charging has arrived, and it is expected that there will be an outbreak in the next five to ten years."

Compared with wireless charging of electric vehicles, AGV wireless charging requires fast charging mode with low voltage and high current, and the main challenge is to require small size, high efficiency and high cost performance. Zou Jianjun introduced, "We combine AGV battery and wireless charging to build an overall AGV power system, realize modular development, reduce the volume by 50%, and continuously improve the product stability, which is our design idea and core competitiveness to fundamentally reduce costs."

At present, the industrial wireless charging technology track targeted by Titan Intelligence is becoming increasingly hot at home and abroad. According to the incomplete statistics of Southern Finance and Economics reporters, there are already manufacturers in the domestic market, such as Baiyi Technology, Luyu Energy, Avant-garde Wireless, Qingdao Paworth, Taihang Jiaxin Electric, etc., who have laid out new technologies, and new scenes and new applications are constantly opening up. In foreign markets, Tesla announced in June this year that it plans to acquire Wiferion, a German manufacturer that provides wireless charging technology for AGV/AMR.

While Titan Smart continues to increase its research and development of wireless charging systems, the team is constantly exploring innovations in business models.

In recent years, with the blessing of AI, mobile robots have been continuously upgraded intelligently, becoming the "nerve center" of the digital intelligent transformation of traditional manufacturing industry, which is expected to usher in large-scale applications in new energy vehicles, new retail and big health fields.

Facing the future, Titan Intelligence is building a general power platform for mobile robots, equipped with wireless charging system, power system, drive control system and background data management system, exploring software and hardware technologies, and establishing a development model of "energy products+data services".

Zou Jianjun believes that mobile robots must be one of the best carriers of AI applications, and connecting mobile robots with data services "chain" will be the development trend of the future industry.

In Zou Jianjun’s view, AGV charging product providers not only supply mobile robot parts, but also provide end customers with overall energy solutions from warehousing transformation to material docking and maintenance services. "This requires analyzing the density and quality of information collected by mobile robots from the data level to build a new ecosystem, which is also the underlying logic of our layout of this emerging business."

　　Guizhou University conscientiously studies and implements the important exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on education and science and technology, adheres to the "four orientations" and practices the "four services", deepens the reform of scientific research organization mode, stimulates the innovation enthusiasm of scientific researchers, strives to create a new situation of high-quality development of scientific research, and helps to achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.

　　Optimize the management system.The first is to improve the scientific research management system. Planning a package of scientific research management system reform, revising and promulgating more than 10 items such as "Management Measures for Vertical Scientific Research of Natural Sciences in Guizhou University (Revised)" and "Measures for Cultivating Symbolic Scientific Research Achievements of Natural Sciences in Guizhou University (Trial)", and constantly improving the institutional guarantee for scientific research layout, organization promotion and coordinated management. Set up a leading group for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements with the secretary and the principal as the team leader and the heads of relevant functional departments as members to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements as a whole. The second is to improve the supervision and management process. Improve the working rules of the academic Committee of the school, hold regular academic Committee meetings, dynamically adjust members, and effectively improve the effectiveness of academic governance and supervision. The scientific research work will be included in the school’s annual work points and the annual "Ten Practical Things", and the school’s supervision office will be responsible for supervising and compacting the main responsibility of scientific research work. The third is to improve the evaluation methods. Formulate the Assessment Method for Improving the Innovation Ability of Scientific Research Platform of Guizhou University (Trial) and the Graded and Classified Integral Standard for the Performance Assessment of Academic Contribution of Scientific Research of Guizhou University (Trial), explore the classified evaluation and assessment methods oriented to quality and contribution, and stimulate the vitality of scientific researchers at all levels and categories. Strengthen the application of assessment results, reasonably link the effectiveness of scientific research with professional title evaluation, post appointment, talent evaluation and performance assessment, and enhance teachers’ enthusiasm and initiative.

　　Focus on scientific research and innovation.First, take the national platform as the fulcrum to serve the national and regional major strategies. Give full play to the role of the National Key Laboratory of Green Pesticides and the National Key Laboratory of Public Big Data jointly established by the province and the Ministry, anchor the scientific and technological frontiers such as the integration, open sharing and security of green pesticides, food security and public big data, actively undertake major national projects, develop new technologies based on biological prevention and control, and crack key technologies such as data fusion, data analysis and intelligent analysis. Focusing on the strategy of "rich minerals and refined mining" in Guizhou Province, we took the lead in setting up an expert team of "manganese", "phosphorus" and "barite-fluorite", with academicians as the chief scientists of the team and national leading talents as the chief scientists of sub-teams, and organized 20 key transformation projects involving the mining and processing of major minerals such as coal, phosphorus, manganese and aluminum, which strongly supported the development of regional industries. The second is to innovate the system and mechanism of school-enterprise cooperation with strategic demand as the traction. We will implement the plan of science and technology commissioners, send 56 doctoral experts to eight industrial fields, such as Maotai-flavor liquor and new energy materials, and 76 small and medium-sized enterprises as vice presidents of industrial technology innovation, build a service model chain of "talent team-leading industries-key production areas-leading enterprises-key scientific and technological projects" for the whole industry, and get through the difficulties of school-enterprise cooperation. Implement the "double tutor+two-stage" postgraduate training mode, encourage postgraduate students to choose key technical problems of enterprises as thesis topics, build a school-enterprise joint talent training mode featuring "ordering", and improve the fit between talent training and social needs. The third is to build a new scientific research organization model with high-quality development as the goal.Implement the cultivation plan of scientific research innovation team, create a new model of "team+",and encourage more than 50 young teachers who have joined in recent years and have strong academic potential to join 14 innovative talent teams such as high-performance polymer materials technology in Guizhou Province, so as to effectively revitalize scientific research resources. Focus on cutting-edge innovative research, create a new model of "discipline+",break down barriers between colleges and disciplines, and set up interdisciplinary research teams such as intelligent perception of crop diseases in mountainous areas of Guizhou Province and scientific and technological innovation talent teams for accurate use of pesticides to promote the integration and innovation of scientific research.

　　Strengthen the construction of talent team.The first is to increase the introduction of high-tech talents. Put forward the working goal of "national talents will achieve a breakthrough of 100 people in 2025", decompose the task of introducing national talents into key disciplines and related secondary units, regularly follow up the promotion of talent introduction in each unit every month, and strive to build a high-level and high-quality scientific research team. In the past two years, 32 national talents and nearly 200 excellent doctors have been introduced. The second is to open a green channel for high-level talents. In view of the fact that some of the leading talents to be introduced are nearly 60 years old, we will actively strive for policy support, and on the basis of strict quality and procedures, we will raise the enrollment age of leading talents who are in good health and have not yet gone through retirement procedures from 60 years old to 63 years old, thus successfully solving the upper age limit of leading talents. The third is to increase the cultivation of key talents. Invite experts from the National Natural Science Foundation to give special guidance and training to academic backbones in the aspects of project application writing and application, so as to enhance their ability to undertake national projects and jointly tackle key problems. Organize mobilization meetings for project declaration, lectures on scientific research integrity, lectures and guidance by well-known experts outside the school and other training activities for young researchers. For newly introduced and trained doctors, we will independently select topics in the field of natural science to carry out innovative basic research and applied basic research, give scientific research funding, and fully support the growth of new academic seedlings.

　　Do a good job in scientific research services.The first is to streamline the scientific research management process. Adhering to the principle of "let information and data run more and teachers run less errands", we will upgrade the school’s scientific research information system, build an integrated information platform integrating data collection and analysis, and realize information resources and data sharing. Optimize project management, examination and approval procedures and reimbursement procedures, continuously streamline work links, and reduce teachers’ transactional burden. The second is to equip with strong scientific research assistants. Each college and scientific research institution is equipped with a scientific research secretary to build a communication bridge between the school’s scientific research department and teachers to ensure that information is conveyed and tasks are implemented in the first time. According to the needs of scientific research work in the college, we employ scientific research assistants to assist the expert research group to promote patent application, data measurement, laboratory instrument management and maintenance, and let experts concentrate on scientific research. The third is to build a strong experimental platform. The Measures for the Administration of Full-time and Double-employed Personnel of the State Key Laboratory of Public Big Data jointly established by the Ministry of Provincial Affairs (for Trial Implementation) was issued, and a leading group for the reorganization of the State Key Laboratory of Public Big Data, headed by the secretary and the principal, was set up to focus on integrating resources and building a strong national laboratory. Regularly update large-scale scientific research instruments and equipment to enhance the accuracy and stability of experimental results and consolidate the basic guarantee for improving scientific research efficiency. In the past three years, 514 million yuan worth of new scientific research equipment has been added, and a high-quality full-time experimental team of 343 people has been equipped.

　　Domestic macro

　　The central bank conducted a 7-day reverse repurchase operation of 2 billion yuan today.

　　On April 18th, the central bank conducted a 7-day reverse repurchase operation of 2 billion yuan today, and the winning bid rate was 1.8%, which was the same as before. () iFinD data shows that there are 2 billion yuan of 7-day reverse repurchase due today, so zero delivery and zero return were realized on the same day.

　　The central bank responds whether the real interest rate is too high: different industries and enterprises feel differently, so as to prevent the involution competition from intensifying due to the low interest rate.

　　Zou Lan, director of the Monetary Policy Department of the People’s Bank of China, said that the situation of prices and real interest rates still needs to be comprehensively judged. The current low price is structural and phased. From the structural situation of prices, CPI, PPI, average interest rate of loans, etc. are all average concepts. There are differences in loan interest rates of different industries and enterprises, and the fluctuation range of product prices is different, so the real interest rate is different. The central bank will continue to closely observe the situation of economic recovery and economic transformation. It should not only keep the nominal interest rate at a reasonable level, consolidate the trend of economic recovery, but also fully consider the needs of high-quality development, avoid cutting the kinetic energy of structural adjustment, and prevent low interest rates from intensifying involution competition and idling funds, which will further reduce prices and form a bad cycle with each other. (Securities Times)

　　Central Bank: In the first quarter, medium and long-term real estate loans increased by 672.7 billion yuan, and the growth rate rebounded.

　　The State Council Office held a press conference on the financial operation and foreign exchange receipts and payments in the first quarter of 2024. Zhang Wenhong, head of the Survey and Statistics Department of the People’s Bank of China, said that new loans in the first quarter were mainly invested in key areas such as manufacturing, infrastructure and service industries, and the growth rate of loans in the real estate industry also picked up. Among them, the growth rate of medium and long-term loans in the real estate industry has increased. At the end of March, the medium and long-term loans in the real estate industry increased by 4.9%, 0.6 percentage points higher than the end of last year, and the cumulative increase in the first quarter was 672.7 billion yuan, which was higher than the same period of last year. (澎湃)

　　The central bank talks about M2 exceeding 300 trillion yuan: it is not appropriate to make simple comparison in the same period, and the monitoring of fund idling will be strengthened.

　　According to the Securities Times, Zou Lan, director of the Monetary Policy Department of the People’s Bank of China, said at the press conference of the State Council Office that the current broad money (M2) exceeds 300 trillion yuan, which is a reflection of financial support for the development of the real economy in the past years. Generally speaking, the current stock currency is indeed not low. At present, China’s economic restructuring is accelerating, the economy is lighter, the credit demand is weaker than before, and the credit structure is optimized and upgraded. However, all parties have a process of understanding and adapting to this change, and some banks still have "scale plots" in internal assessment, which exceeds the effective financing needs of the real economy; Some enterprises rely on their dominant position to buy wealth management or lend money to other enterprises with low-cost loans. The main business does not make money, but finance becomes the main business, which is easy to form idling and capital precipitation, reducing the efficiency of capital use. Relevant departments will strengthen the monitoring of fund idling and improve the management assessment mechanism. In the future, with the economic transformation and upgrading, the effective financing demand will be restored, the social expectation will be improved, and the phenomenon of fund precipitation idling will also be alleviated. At present, the huge monetary aggregate growth may slow down, and the data will be disturbed, so it is not appropriate to make a simple comparison in the same period.

　　Central Bank Zhu Hexin: The central bank’s goal and determination to maintain the basic stability of the RMB exchange rate will not change.

　　Zhu Hexin, deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China and director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, said that since the beginning of this year, the market has repeatedly expected the shift of the Fed’s monetary policy, the turmoil in the international financial market has intensified, and the exchange rate fluctuations of some currencies have increased. Although the exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar has also fluctuated, it has appreciated against a basket of currencies on a stable basis. In the short term, the economy made a good start in the first quarter, and the positive factors increased, which was conducive to hedging external disturbance factors and supported the RMB exchange rate. The RMB exchange rate remained basically stable on both macro and micro levels. In the next step, the central bank will focus on me, give consideration to internal and external balance, and adhere to a managed floating exchange rate system based on market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies; Pay close attention to the changes in the foreign exchange market, continue to make comprehensive policies and stabilize expectations, resolutely correct procyclical behaviors, resolutely guard against the risk of exchange rate overshoot, and keep the RMB exchange rate basically stable at a balanced level. (Securities Times)

　　Zhang Wenhong, the central bank: Although the scale of new social financing in the first quarter has declined year-on-year, it is still at a high level in history.

　　According to the Securities Times, on April 18th, Zhang Wenhong, head of the Survey and Statistics Department of the People’s Bank of China, said at the press conference of the State Council Office that the growth rate of social financing scale in the first quarter basically matched the expected targets of economic growth and price level, especially on the basis of last year’s high base, the growth rate of social financing of 8.7% was actually not low. Since the beginning of this year, the People’s Bank of China has paid more attention to guiding the balanced growth of financial institutions. Although the scale of new social financing in the first quarter has dropped year-on-year, it is still at a high level in history.

　　Central Bank: Promote the further marketization of deposit and loan interest rates, and stabilize the debt cost and net interest margin of banks.

　　The central bank issued a document in the People’s Daily, saying that the internal and external balance should be taken into account, and the prices of interest rates and exchange rates should be well coordinated. In terms of interest rates, it is necessary to improve the formation, regulation and transmission mechanism of market-oriented interest rates, promote the further marketization of deposit and loan interest rates, stabilize bank debt costs and net interest margins, and improve the sustainability of financial institutions supporting the real economy. On the exchange rate, we should insist that the RMB exchange rate is mainly determined by the market, and at the same time resolutely correct the procyclical behavior, prevent the risk of exchange rate overshoot, prevent the formation of unilateral consensus expectations and self-strengthen, and keep the RMB exchange rate level basically stable.

　　Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Accelerate the layout of the industrial chain around innovation chain’s low-altitude economic development and accelerate the technical research and model innovation of low-altitude Zhilian.

　　Shan Zhongde, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that we should make full use of enabling technologies such as the new generation of information and communication technologies, accelerate the technological research and model innovation of low-altitude Zhilian, and provide solid support for building a safe and efficient low-altitude operation system in the future. Accelerate the establishment of an industrial standard system that runs through the whole life cycle of R&D, design, manufacturing, test verification and operation support of low-altitude equipment, and jointly promote the construction of a third-party testing and certification system with relevant departments.

　　Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Accelerate the research and development of 6G and 10 Gigabit optical networks and accelerate the research and development of big data and artificial intelligence.

　　According to China Net, Zhao Zhiguo, spokesperson and chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will further consolidate and enhance the competitive advantage and leading position of the information and communication industry around the primary task of high-quality development. The first is to tamp the foundation. We still have to lay a solid foundation, accelerate the implementation of policies related to large-scale equipment renewal, and promote the optimization and upgrading of information infrastructure. Promote the coordinated development of computing infrastructure and accelerate the formation of a national integrated computing system. The second is to grasp innovation. We believe that innovation is fundamental, promoting the integration of 5G with big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other technologies and accelerating the evolution of 5G. As we all know, 5G is now evolving to 5GA or 5.5G, accelerating the research and development of 6G and 10G optical networks. The third is strong application. Accelerate the development and application of big data and artificial intelligence, carry out the "artificial intelligence+"action, and continue to accelerate the large-scale application of industrial Internet. The fourth is excellent supervision. Accelerate the introduction of innovative information and communication industry management and optimize the business environment, continue to create a first-class business environment, and better serve the market players. The fifth is to ensure safety.

In recent two years, the domestic IC industry has been paid close attention to by people inside and outside the industry, and the momentum of domestic self-developed chips and domestic self-developed systems in the commercial field is growing. As a technology leader and supplier of domestic self-developed processors, Loongson Zhongke recently brought us a new generation of processor architecture products: Loongson 3A4000 processor.

Godson 3A4000

Introduction of Godson 3A4000

The Loongson 3A4000 processor uses 28nm technology and has four cores, which is consistent with the previous generation 3A3000. In terms of frequency, the Loongson 3A4000 processor is turbo-charged to 2.0GHz, while the 3A3000 processor is 1.5GHz, and the frequency is increased by 0.5GHz. In addition, the Loongson 3A4000 processor is upgraded to GS464V, which supports MIPS64 instruction set, and has expanded more than 1,000 instructions on the basis of only 500 instructions.

On the whole, compared with the previous generation 3A3000, the Loongson 3A4000 processor has not only greatly improved its performance, but also upgraded and optimized its security and encryption, built-in security modules and supported a variety of encryption and decryption algorithms.

Loongson 3A4000 mainframe sample

Because the Loongson 3A4000 processor is a domestic self-developed chip, facing the commercial field, it is not compatible with the mainstream American AMD and Intel platforms in the consumer market, so it needs to use the dedicated motherboard of the Loongson 7A2000 chipset to adapt to it. In addition, the Loongson 3A4000 processor is not compatible with the Windows system based on X86 architecture. The Loongson 3A4000 processor uses the upgraded GS464V architecture, which requires an adaptation system based on LINUX kernel.

This time, the system we used to test the Loongson 3A4000 processor is the UOS unified operating system (UOS is the system code, and this article will use the UOS system uniformly). Based on the LINUX kernel, the UOS system has been adapted to the Loongson 3A4000 processor.

UOS system

Although it is still in the testing stage, UOS system has great potential, which is a safe, easy-to-use and stable operating system product voluntarily initiated and developed by many domestic operating system core enterprises, which is of great significance. Besides Godson Zhongke, other domestic self-developed chip manufacturers will also adapt and support the UOS system, which means that the domestic hardware industry and software industry will be unified and integrated, which will greatly promote the development and progress of the domestic IC industry.

UOS system

At present, except for the newly released 3A4000 processor, some other models of Loongson have been compatible with UOS system, fully adapting to Loongson desktop computers and servers.　

02 Loongson 3A4000 Test

This time, I had the opportunity to get the newly released Loongson 3A4000. We compared it with Loongson 3A3000.

Loongson 3A4000 mainframe

Test platform:

The Loongson 3A4000 processor is a quad-core processor. The basic frequency of this CPU in our test host is 1.8GHz, which can be turbo-charged to 2.0GHz, with a memory of DDR4 2400 8G * 2, a memory of DDR3 128MB and a hard disk of 128G, and its bridge is 7A1000 bridge developed by Loongson.

Godson 3A4000 Host Configuration

Test items:

There are five items in our evaluation this time: WPS three-piece test, image and video opening speed and 7.Zip decompression comparison test, and finally Web page test and SPEC2006 test.

WPS three-piece test:

In the WPS three-piece test, we use more than 10MB documents, more than 20MB tables and more than 300MB PPT to test the opening speed of Loongson 3A4000 and Loongson 33000 processors.

WPS three-piece test

There is no speed difference between the two processors when opening documents with a size of more than 10MB, both of which are within 1 second, but the author can still feel that the Loongson 3A4000 host is smoother and faster with the naked eye. However, the gap between the opening speed of forms above 20MB began to appear. Compared with 3A3000, the Godson 3A4000 improved by more than one second, and the gap in opening speed of PPT above 300MB increased by as much as three seconds. However, in fact, no matter whether using Godson 3A4000 or Godson 33000, daily work can be carried out smoothly without any bottleneck.

Picture Video Open Test:

In addition to office documents, let’s test the video opening speed and picture opening speed of the two processors.

Picture video opening speed

In these three tests, the Loongson 3A4000 processor still occupies an absolute advantage, which is faster than the Loongson 3A3000 processor. At the same time, it also tells us that there is no problem with the view and audio of these two processors, and both the view software, the video software and the OFFICE software linux have products corresponding to the Windows system, such as WPS corresponding to Office, so there is no need to worry about the problem of being unable to use and operate.

7.Zip decompression test:

7.Zip should be familiar to everyone. This is a very popular decompression software, which is often seen in Windows systems. One thing to note is that UOS did not pre-install 7.Zip. We used a notebook equipped with LOONGNIX processor, and the frequency was only 1.5GHz. The Loongnix mainframe was replaced by neokylin system.

After we open the terminal, we input the command LSCPU, and then we can start running after continuously inputting nuame-r and 7z a. The test results of Loongson 3A4000 and Loongson 3A3000 are as follows.

Godson 3A3000 Godson 3A4000 　 　 　

Compared with the 3,709 score of the Godson 3A3000, the running score of the Godson 3A 4000 at 1.5GHz is 5,470, which is about 47% higher, and the score is very impressive. 7.Zip is one of the most commonly used applications in daily life. Although it can’t fully reflect the processor performance, it can show the processor efficiency. Undoubtedly, the efficiency of the Godson 3A 4000 is greatly improved compared with that of the previous generation. If it is the Godson 3A4000 at 2.0GHz,

Principled Technologies WebXPRT 3 test:

Although the UOS system of Loongson 3A4000 platform has not supported much in software testing, the Web page testing is not restricted. The UOS system for web page testing that can be used in Windows system can also be used. We use the Principled Technologies WebXPRT 3 test, which can reflect the performance of all devices that support the Web.

The browser tested is a built-in browser in UOS system, based on the Chromium kernel, which is an open source core and is used by many browsers.

Godson 3A3000 Godson 3A4000 　 　

This Web page tests that it contains six scenes based on HTML5 and JavaScript for mirroring daily tasks. In this test, the Loongson 3A4000 processor still achieved the performance crushing of the previous generation Loongson 3A3000, with a total score difference of 24 points.

In the six scenarios of JavaScript, the efficiency of each operation of Loongson 3A4000 processor has been greatly improved, including photo enhancement by about 63%, photo album arrangement by using artificial intelligence by about 74%, stock option pricing by about 59%, encrypted notes and OCR scanning by about 69%, sales charts by 69% and online work by 49%.

SPEC 2006 test：

SPEC 2006 is a large-scale CPU performance test project, which can fully show the two most important parameters of CPU: fixed-point performance and floating-point performance, and has been recognized by everyone in the field of commercial CPU.

SPEC 2006 test

SPEC 2006 test results

In the test, two processors, the Godson 3A4000 processor and the Godson 3A3000 processor, are compared. These two processors are both four cores. Whether it is the performance test of SPEC INT2006 fixed-point performance test, SPEC FP2006 floating-point performance test and STREAM(GB) memory bandwidth, the performance of the Godson 3A4000 processor has been greatly improved, almost doubling the effect. This performance can be achieved only by optimizing the architecture and increasing the price, which shows that the design and research and development of the Godson are amazing.

03 summary

At present, although the development of domestic chip industry is not as good as that of foreign semiconductor industry, especially foreign semiconductor manufacturers may invest tens of billions of dollars in chip research and development a year, while the domestic chip industry has limited funds, and the chip research and development starts later than foreign counterparts. There is indeed a gap as a whole. However, Loongson has been able to concentrate on research and development for 20 years on one architecture, and continuously iteratively upgrade the Loongson 3A processor chip. It has successively launched the Loongson 3A2000 processor, 3A3000 processor and 3A4000 processor just released at the end of the year, and kept its performance rising, which has fully demonstrated its R&D and design capabilities.

The performance of Godson 3A4000 processor is comparable to that of AMD’s Excavator architecture CPU, whether it is the underlying architecture or the physical design. Moreover, Godson 3A4000 processor can effectively prevent Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities, support encryption and decryption algorithms such as MD5, AES and SHA, and eliminate any risks in security.

The Loongson 3A4000 processor adopts 28nm process, and there is still a lot of room for upgrading and optimization. Under the same 28nm process, the CPU performance of the Loongson 3A4000 processor is improved by 6 times compared with that of the first-generation Loongson 3A1000 processor with the same process. It is reported that the next-generation Loongson 3A5000 processor will use 12nm process next year, and the CPU frequency can be increased to 3.0GHz, which is full of stamina.

Ordinary users may have questions, why do you want to launch domestic self-developed CPU chips so vigorously, and it is not good to introduce it abroad? It may be practical in the short term, but it must not be a long-term solution. The core technology is not in our own hands and will inevitably be subject to others. In the field of domestic CPU, what we need to do now is not to catch up blindly, but to avoid being useless, that is, what we need to solve now is the problem of 0 and 1. It is believed that Godson, which has always insisted on independent design and has the ability to realize all independent designs, can enter the civil market in the near future.

　

Digital reading makes the world of the blind have more "colors"

The reporter investigated the reading problem of blind people in China.　

On October 13th, in an office of the Chinese Braille Library, Yin Menglan was absorbed in her work, and her hands were jumping rapidly on the computer keyboard.

In sharp contrast to the flexibility of fingers, Yin Menglan’s vision is disabled. She is a visually impaired person. It is reading that has promoted the earth-shaking changes in her life: when she was a child, she went to a braille school to study braille and took part in the senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination; Now, she works in the Braille library and listens to audio books every day, which not only broadens her knowledge, but also realizes the purpose of entertainment and leisure.

In China, there are more than 17 million people with visual impairment like Yin Menglan. How do they read? Can the booming audio reading meet their reading needs? What can be further improved in the process of reading promotion for the blind? With these questions, the reporter of Rule of Law Daily recently visited the Chinese Braille Library.

Books for the blind have many constraints.

Digital reading came into being.

"The composition of Braille is based on’ Fang’, and each party has six points. Generally, about three parties form a Chinese character. Chinese Braille is composed of initials, finals and tones of Chinese pinyin."

In the Chinese Braille Library, Fan Xingkun, director of the Culture and Education Department of the library, pointed to the Chinese Braille symbol comparison table hanging on the wall and told reporters about the changes in the reading methods of the blind. According to its introduction, since Louis Blair, a French blind man, improved and invented six-point Braille on the basis of night writing in the 1820s, touching Braille has become an important way for blind people to learn.

Teng Hongyu, a staff member in the museum, has been reading by touching Braille for nearly 50 years. He said that visually impaired people can master the coding of Braille through one or two months’ practice, and they can answer what they say and what they say, but it is still difficult to really understand and skillfully read Braille by touching it, which requires a lot of repeated practice.

However, touching Braille is not necessary for all blind people to read.

According to Li Qingzhong, chairman of the China Blind Association, visual disabilities are generally divided into two categories: blindness and low vision. Blindness means blindness, and the eyes cannot feel a little light; Although low vision can’t see clearly, it can feel a glimmer of light, not completely dark.

"Braille is necessary for people who are completely invisible; For people with low vision, in addition to reading special Braille books, you can also read big books. " Li Qingzhong said.

Although Braille books can meet the reading needs of some visually impaired people, paper books have certain limitations. The reporter saw in the Braille library that blind documents are bigger and thicker than ordinary books.

In this regard, Fan Xingkun explained that generally more than 200 Chinese characters are converted into Braille, which may take up one page. After a very thin Chinese reading material is made into a Braille book, the volume will increase a lot, and it is not convenient to store and carry. Moreover, there are special requirements for the pulp and production technology of braille paper, so as to ensure that the blind spots are clear and unbreakable and can withstand repeated touching and reading by blind people. Compared with ordinary books, editing and proofreading processes and printing processes also consume more time and cost.

How to solve the problem? The development of Internet provides more possibilities for blind people to read.

In recent years, with the development of information technology, digital reading has developed faster and faster, providing more and more convenience for visually impaired people.

He Chuan, vice chairman of China Blind Association and director of the Information Accessibility Center of China Braille Library, told reporters that at present, visually impaired people can listen to electronic texts such as Word, TXT and PDF besides audio books. "There are also several ways to listen, such as installing screen reading software on the computer and listening to the sound of screen reading to operate the computer; The book-listening machine designed by China Braille Publishing House can read electronic texts at any time. You can also use your smartphone to listen to audio books. " He Chuan said.

In the reading room of Braille Library, the reporter saw the latest intelligent reading machine. It is like a small mobile phone, which can be recharged or put into a battery, and can be used after activation. It also has a network download function, from which blind readers can obtain massive reading resources.

According to Park Dong-sook, deputy director of the Collection and Lending Department of China Braille Library, these reading machines can be borrowed and mailed to blind readers all over the country for free. According to Park Dong-sook’s explanation, the reporter operated for the first time when the reading machine was completely black, and soon found the desired online book resources, which was very convenient and fast.

Digital reading is convenient and fast.

Full promotion has encountered bottlenecks.

In fact, as early as September 2017, Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, the Ministry of Finance, the China Disabled Persons’ Federation and other departments jointly launched the "Digital Reading Promotion Project for the Blind", including the construction of a platform for the integration, publication and dissemination of reading for the blind; Relying on 400 public libraries, lend 200,000 intelligent reading machines to the blind for free; Relying on 100 educational institutions for visually impaired readers, 1,000 Braille computers and electronic displays are lent to the blind free of charge.

It is obvious that digital reading for the blind brings convenience to the visually impaired.

Teng Hongyu has a soft spot for music, and usually likes reading books on music, but there were few books in Braille in China before. He borrowed Braille music scores from foreign national libraries by writing letters. Because Braille music scores are universal in the world, there is no obstacle to reading them. "Nowadays, digital reading has opened up many platforms and can be read at any time."

Yin Menglan found new fun in life by listening to audio books. Every day after work, she uses her smart phone to open audio books and listen to novels. "Life is much richer."

Pan Jiang, who is also engaged in proofreading in the Braille library, relaxes by listening to novels with audio books. However, if he wants to read professional books, he is still used to reading blind documents. "Our touch is equivalent to the sight of a discerning person. Through reading, I learned a lot about psychology and solved many specific difficulties in daily life. "

However, at present, there are still some problems in the practice of digital reading promotion for the blind, and the first problem is copyright.

"Blind people can’t enjoy equal copyright. For example, if a blind person buys a book in a bookstore, it is no problem to find someone to translate the book into Braille, but if it is to be translated into an audio version, it must be authorized by the other party. " He Chuan said.

Fortunately, China has signed the Marrakesh Treaty, which requires the contracting parties to add provisions in their domestic laws, set restrictions and exceptions on the rights of copyright owners, and allow the reproduction, distribution and provision of accessible formats of published works, such as Braille, audio and electronic texts. He Chuan told reporters that China’s copyright law has been revised to suit the above-mentioned relevant provisions, and the time for the treaty to come into effect in China is getting closer and closer. "In the future, more and more books can be made into audio books and large-character editions, which is a real cultural blessing for the blind.".

He Chuan also mentioned that in the process of full coverage or equalization of public cultural services in different places, there may be unbalanced resource allocation. For example, all the public libraries in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have their own reading rooms for the blind, but in some relatively small and remote cities, the hardware measures are not in place, or there is only one physical space, and the service concept has not kept up.

On the other hand, through field research in Li Qingzhong, it is found that although some local Braille libraries and reading rooms for the blind are equipped with book resources and related auxiliary equipment, there are only a handful of visually impaired readers. How to attract more visually impaired readers through quality service is the answer that these places are exploring.

He also pointed out that inconvenient travel is also a realistic reason for the lack of motivation for blind people to go to Braille libraries or reading rooms.

Explore and solve problems in many places

Guarantee the reading rights of the blind.

How to solve these difficulties? In Fan Xingkun’s view, reading habits need to be cultivated. If you want to attract blind people to read, it is of little benefit to shout slogans and say that only by finding a way suitable for blind people to read can you really attract them.

The Chinese Braille Library has actively explored this aspect. After in-depth investigation, the relevant staff members have learned about the cultural needs of blind readers, planned various cultural salon activities such as famous lectures, "natural history tour", Taoran reading club, literature and art exhibition, organized cultural and educational activities such as Braille, computer, music, recitation, massage, interest groups for blind children, summer camps for blind children, and carried out information application, digital reading promotion, life skills, calligraphy and painting for the blind. Up to now, the Braille Library has attracted an average of more than 30,000 people to participate in various cultural activities every year.

In order to protect the reading rights of the blind, various localities have also launched actions.

Gansu Provincial Library has set up a reading service center for the disabled in Gansu Province and a reading room for braille and blind audiobooks to provide reading and lending services for visually impaired readers. When the library of Luxi County, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province was upgraded, it specially set up a children’s reading center to provide more comfortable reading space for minors and blind people. Shanxi Province has purchased 5,000 "intelligent listening machines", which blind readers can borrow for free …

In the interview, the reporter felt that with the continuous development of digital reading promotion for the blind, more and more blind readers fell in love with reading. Convenient reading methods have opened a door of knowledge for blind readers, and since then, the road ahead of them has become wider and their world has become more "colorful".

Cross-border e-commerce is an opportunity. Thanks to the rapid rise of Internet business, more and more people have recognized online shopping. The rules of online shopping platform have been greatly improved to standardize the online transaction process. Governments have also seen the future economic development direction and encouraged enterprises to invest resources to develop Internet infrastructure and logistics facilities. In short, cross-border e-commerce has become an indispensable part of global business.

1. What impact does cross-border e-commerce have on global business?

Cross-border e-commerce can become the representative of Internet business, which has had an unimaginable influence on global trade for a long time. Just as there were basically no imported products in China before, few people were able to use imported products, but the trend of economic globalization began in the 1980s, and foreign capital and products entered the markets of various countries at will, enriching the lives of local people. However, the traditional trade route was difficult, and because of the high tariffs, It is also necessary to pay value-added tax and consumption tax. Many imported products have become luxury goods overnight, but they have changed hands from cheap products to luxury goods through multiple companies. This trade method is only suitable for brand channel providers, and enterprises that do not need special channels can completely benefit consumers, so that products can truly become the welfare of consumers.

The emergence of the Internet in the 1990s has enabled business to find a new platform, and business can be done all over the world quickly.

What impact does cross-border e-commerce have on global business?

First, cross-border e-commerce has turned "global selling, global buying" from a myth into a reality. Good business actually means that the more convenient it is, the more development potential it has. Cross-border e-commerce can make it easy for people living in Britain to buy goods made in the United States on the other side of the ocean without leaving Britain, and it can make it easy for people living in the United States to buy goods made in China without leaving the United States. Besides global buying, they can also sell French-made perfumes and cosmetics to the United States through cross-border e-commerce. You can also sell clothes made in China to the UK through cross-border e-commerce, and cross-border e-commerce uses the Internet to efficiently sell goods from manufacturing countries to demanding countries, thus realizing long-distance and high-efficiency trading.

Second, the rise of cross-border e-commerce has given birth to a number of emerging cross-border industries. In particular, the global logistics industry has developed rapidly. Cross-border e-commerce does not exist independently. It needs industrial support, such as delivering goods to foreign customers and passing through international logistics. The fastest way of international logistics is air transportation, which requires customs declaration in the destination country and finally delivery to customers. Logistics plays an important role in cross-border e-commerce transactions, as well as cross-border payment. It can ensure the safety of foreign customers’ funds and sellers’ funds, as well as intellectual property certification services. Trademark registration and VAT tax number registration are indispensable for cross-border e-commerce business. Certification must be done before platform stores operate to protect their brands from infringement. These emerging cross-border industries have developed very rapidly, thus continuing to promote the development of cross-border e-commerce.

Third, the rapid growth of cross-border e-commerce has brought tax revenue to governments all over the world, and also solved a large number of jobs, especially young people are very fond of Internet careers. In the past five years, the global cross-border e-commerce transaction volume has shown double-digit growth, especially some manufacturing countries have made great profits during the development period of cross-border e-commerce. Some mainstream cross-border e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, eBay, wish and AliExpress have great market environment potential, and manufactured products in underdeveloped areas can use these cross-border e-commerce platforms to obtain high profit returns.

2. What are the global policies for cross-border e-commerce?

The emergence of cross-border e-commerce is not only the result of market choice, but also the result of governments’ efforts to encourage the development of cross-border e-commerce. Without the platform technology of cross-border e-commerce, there would be no well-being of people around the world. Let’s take a look at how some mainstream market countries in the world develop cross-border e-commerce. Xiaobian has classified and summarized:

(1) On May 16, 2013, the United States passed the Market Fairness Act, which levied sales tax on cross-border e-commerce buyers. No tax was levied on goods below $200, and States levied sales tax on online retailers with annual sales of more than $1 million, and exempted tariffs on online transactions of intangible goods. These tax policies are encouraging local enterprises to actively develop cross-border e-commerce.

(2) Britain’s import declaration policy is loose. In Britain, which is in the predicament of Brexit, the British government encourages goods from other countries to transit to Britain. According to the Daily Mail survey, 80% of British netizens often shop online. The British government attaches great importance to the development of its own e-commerce market.

(3) In 1998, the European Union began to levy value-added tax on e-commerce and business tax on suppliers who provide online sales and services. In 1999, the European Commission announced the tax standards for online transactions, and no new tax or additional tax was levied. The European Union has formulated a tax system since the rise of e-commerce, without increasing the tax burden on online retailers.

(4) In 1998, Japan announced the basic guidelines for e-commerce activities, emphasizing the principles of fairness, tax neutrality and tax simplification in taxation to avoid double taxation and tax evasion.

(5) On March 7, 2015, the State Council agreed to set up China (Hangzhou) cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone, and on January 6, 2016, the State Council set up a number of cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zones in 12 cities including Ningbo, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hefei, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Dalian, Qingdao, Shenzhen and Suzhou. On August 7, 2018, the State Council established cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive in 22 cities including Beijing, Hohhot, Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin, Nanjing, Nanchang, Wuhan, Changsha, Nanning, Haikou, Guiyang, Kunming, Xi ‘an, Lanzhou, Xiamen, Tangshan, Wuxi, Weihai, Zhuhai, Dongguan and Yiwu. Up to now, 35 cross-border electronic commerce pilot zones have been set up in China, which is enough to show the support of the China government for cross-border e-commerce.

Third, what magical commercial power does Amazon have to achieve the largest platform for cross-border e-commerce

The development of Amazon is a shortened history of e-commerce in the world, catching up with the emerging Internet. Apart from the promotion of the Internet tide, there are also Amazon’s own reasons. Let’s talk about what magical business power Amazon has to achieve the largest platform for cross-border e-commerce, such as:

(1) The founder of Amazon has a unique vision and sees opportunities for e-commerce to surpass physical business in the future. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, just started his business and chose to use the Internet to sell books. Because books are a standard commodity, they are very suitable for online sales, so books have become a golden key to open the online retail market. At that time, Bezos saw that the online book market was far greater than the physical book market, and dared to make a bet to develop the online book retail market.

(2) Amazon saw the value of the Internet virtual community earlier, allowing sellers and buyers to communicate on the e-commerce platform, so that they could evaluate the goods. Later, the Prime membership system evolved, which greatly protected the rights and interests of online shopping users and spread the reputation of Amazon.

(3) Amazon saw the potential of cloud computing and the essence of Internet business during the period of platform growth. The platform must rely on powerful cloud service capabilities and ensure the security of every transaction. Amazon’s Excellence in technology has enabled Amazon to become the world’s largest e-commerce platform. (Source: Everyday Cross-border)

Today is the "International Day for the Blind". Do you think that blind people can’t see in broad daylight and how can they see in their dreams at night? It’s not that simple.

In fact, there are two kinds of blind people: congenital blind and acquired blind.

The first type: the acquired blind, who originally had perfect vision and had seen the world, can still see things in their dreams, although they became blind later.

The second kind: congenital blindness. People usually think that since they have never seen anything since they were born, they certainly have no vision in their dreams.

But in fact, is this really the case?

An experiment to depict dreams

In 2003, a Portuguese scientist claimed that people who were born blind could see images in their dreams. They designed such a set of experiments:

A total of 19 participants, 10 were born blind and 9 were visually sound.

The experiment requires that participants sleep normally at home.

However, there will be four alarm clocks to wake them up at night. After waking up, the participants described their dreams to the tape recorder and then went back to sleep.

The next morning, the sighted people asked to be blindfolded and draw their dreams on paper with other participants.

Here are the results. Can you identify which one was painted by a blind person?

The first hand-drawn dream map

The second hand-painted dream map

The answer is as follows ↓

The first picture is a dream recorded for the blind.

Therefore, Portuguese scientists have come to the conclusion that the description of dreams by the congenital blind and the visually sound is indistinguishable.

The way blind people see the world is not just their eyes.

Does this mean that the congenital blind have vision in their dreams? Not necessarily.

In fact, not only vision can produce images, but also the senses of touch and hearing.

Let’s talk about touch first. In the story of the blind touching the elephant, the blind touching the leg will draw a tree, the blind touching the body will draw a wall, and the blind touching the tail will draw a rope. If you touch the elephant’s whole body, the blind can draw a complete elephant. Just by touching, the brain can also form images and draw them. Scientists have studied congenital blind people and found that their tactile signals will flow into the visual cortex in the brain, thus creating images.

There are also some reports that the congenital blind can produce images by hearing. Like bats, they have the ability of echolocation, and they can hear the general structure of the house only by the echo of high heels stepping on the ground.

Some scientists also believe that blind people can see things in their dreams, which is actually a psychological experience similar to echolocation.

A study on blind people found that:

People who are born blind have no vision, nor do they dream;

People who are blind before the age of 5 will also lose their visual impression;

People who are blind after the age of 7 will always leave visual cognition;

In short, the scientific community still has no clear answer to the previous experimental results. But describing a dream is not necessarily because the blind man opened his eyes in the dream, but also because of his sense of touch and hearing.

Finally, let’s look at a picture of a dream painted by a congenital blind person.

Congenital blind people describe dreams:

The sun, sailboats, seabirds, clouds, coconut trees,

There are two happy people

Blind people have no vision, but this does not prevent them from making an accurate and poetic description of the world. Touch, smell and hearing can also become their "new eyes" to see the world.
