For a long time, the U.S. government and its related institutions have conducted large-scale and indiscriminate eavesdropping on the world by virtue of their own technological advantages. Whether it is for their own citizens, or for foreign governments, enterprises and individuals, the U.S. eavesdropping has reached the point where it is wanton and lawless, which seriously violates the basic norms of international law and international relations. Facts have repeatedly proved that the United States is a "monitoring empire" that harms the world.

　　In May this year, the Center for Privacy and Technology Law of Georgetown University released a report entitled "tight encirclement in America: Data-Driven Expulsion in the 21st Century". The report reveals that over the years, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau has carefully woven a complex and huge surveillance network, far exceeding its responsibilities as an immigration agency.

　　In fact, the United States began to monitor and review the communications in and out of the United States during World War I and World War II, and its large-scale monitoring practice continued throughout the Cold War. During the American civil rights movement, many Americans were also placed under government surveillance orders. In 1972, the Watergate incident occurred in the United States, and the abuse of power and illegal monitoring led to a political scandal. With the development of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, American surveillance has become institutionalized. Especially after the "9.11" incident, in the name of "national security" and "anti-terrorism", the U.S. government passed the Patriot Act, the Protection of the United States Act, the 2008 Amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and other legislation to continuously expand the authority of the security organs.

　　Although Snowden, a former US defense contractor employee, and the Wikileaks website exposed the abuse of surveillance in the United States, the United States was forced to pass a bill in 2015 to end the domestic surveillance project in the United States. However, in fact, the US intelligence agencies and other departments continued to carry out extensive surveillance without authorization.

　　The U.S. government has also been bullying in the name of "national interests" for a long time, conducting pervasive monitoring and network monitoring on other countries and even allies.

　　The United States has a long history of monitoring the world. Whether it is the "black box plan" after World War I, the "clover action" after World War II, or relying on the "echelon system" during the Cold War to obtain global intelligence gathering capabilities; Whether it is gathering allies to form the notorious multinational monitoring organization "Five Eyes Alliance" or creating a back door through the hacker organization "Equation Organization" since the 21st century, it has spied on and invaded hundreds of targets in more than 45 countries and regions around the world … … The U.S. government conducts large-scale, organized and indiscriminate eavesdropping monitoring on foreign governments, enterprises and personnel.

　　In recent years, the global surveillance scandal in the United States has been repeatedly exposed. In 2013, according to Snowden’s confidential documents, the US National Security Agency monitored the phone calls of 35 foreign leaders and tracked and stole mobile phone activity information on a global scale through technical means, collecting as many as 5 billion records every day.

　　The book Nowhere to Hide, published by Glenn greenwald, a former British Guardian reporter, in 2014, lists shocking data: the US National Security Agency had stolen 97 billion emails and 124 billion telephone data remotely within 30 days, including 500 million in Germany, 2.3 billion in Brazil, 13.5 billion in India, 70 million in France and 60 million in Spain. …

　　The United States monitors addiction, and even if it faces criticism from all sides, it has never closed the "monitoring door." In May last year, the media once again broke the news that the United States monitored the leaders of European allies such as Germany, France, Sweden and Norway through Danish intelligence services. French President Macron, then German Chancellor Angela Merkel, then Norwegian Prime Minister solberg and other European politicians have expressed their views, saying that it is "totally unacceptable" for the United States to monitor its allies.

　　The British "Guardian" published in September last year that 20 years after the "9.11" incident, the United States has become a "monitoring country everywhere".

　　The United States uses its hegemony in the political, economic, military and technical fields to abuse monitoring means in an attempt to gain profits in absolute monarch, control the world and the world. In 1994, the National Security Agency intercepted French Thomson — The call between Radio and Telegraph Corporation and Brazil about the monitoring system of Amazon rainforest. In the end, a contract worth $1.4 billion for this monitoring system went to Raytheon. In 2000, James woolsey, a former director of the US Central Intelligence Agency, admitted that the CIA had used the intercepted information several years ago to help Boeing seize an important Saudi Arabian order from Airbus Europe. In September 2013, Wired magazine revealed that the National Security Agency had monitored the Brazilian oil company … …

　　However, such a country, which is overbearing and addicted to surveillance, often slanders other countries and repeatedly performs poor tricks of thieves shouting to catch thieves. As the global public opinion is stunned by the US surveillance scandal again and again, the hypocrisy of this "surveillance empire" is increasingly exposed to the world.

　　What are the highlights of the development of the eastern, central and western regions in the first three quarters? Which provinces have outperformed the national average in economic growth? Which provinces have faster consumption growth? Which provinces’ income levels have improved significantly? Recently, the statistical departments of 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have successively released the economic data of the first three quarters. Through this report card, we will find that China’s regional economic development is more coordinated and pays more attention to high-quality development.

　　You chase after me, and the economy is resilient enough.

　　In the first three quarters, which province had the fastest GDP growth? It is Hubei.

　　As the province most affected by the epidemic last year, Hubei recovered rapidly — — In the first three quarters, the GDP of Hubei was 3,473.156 billion yuan, ranking seventh among 31 provinces, ranking first with an increase of 18.7% compared with the same period of last year, and an increase of 6.4% compared with the same period of 2019, which was 1.3 and 5.0 percentage points faster than the first half and the first quarter respectively.

　　This steaming momentum is felt most deeply by local residents. Xu Pengcheng, a 29-year-old young man from Hubei Province, didn’t go to Guangzhou to work as usual this year. Instead, he ran a shop in Wuhan in partnership with his friends, ready to do a big job in the catering industry. "The passenger flow of various business districts and pedestrian streets in Wuhan has basically returned to the level before the epidemic. The overall situation is good, and we are particularly confident in the business prospects. "

　　Not only is the growth rate fast, but the new kinetic energy of Hubei’s economic development is strong, and the resilience of recovery and development is full. In the first three quarters, the added value of high-tech manufacturing in Hubei increased by 34.9% year-on-year. In the first three quarters, there were 19,475 construction projects in the province, an increase of 4,860.

　　Which provinces have a high total? Guangdong and Jiangsu rank in the top two, and their regional GDP both exceeds 8 trillion yuan. Among them, Guangdong reached 8.80 trillion yuan, Jiangsu 8.49 trillion yuan, and it is expected that they will all cross 10 trillion yuan in the whole year.

　　It is worth mentioning that the economic structure of various places has been further optimized. The added value of the tertiary industry in Guangdong and Jiangsu both exceeded 4 trillion yuan. The added value of tertiary industry in most provinces is higher than that of primary and secondary industries, and the tertiary industry in 23 provinces accounts for more than 50%, especially in Beijing and Shanghai, accounting for more than 70%, reaching the level of developed countries.

　　Observing the eastern, central and western regions, the performance of the central region was eye-catching in the first three quarters. In the first three quarters, among the 10 provinces whose GDP growth rate was higher than the national average, Hubei, Shanxi, Jiangxi and Anhui were all central provinces. Su Jian, director of Peking University National Economic Research Center, said in an interview with this reporter: "From the data of the first three quarters, a good situation of competing development has been formed among the central provinces. With the in-depth implementation of the strategy of the rise of central China, urban agglomerations in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River ‘ Bao Tuan ’ Development and high-quality co-construction ‘ Belt and Road ’ Driven by this, the central provinces have achieved ‘ Double promotion ’ 。”

　　Su Jian said that through the report cards of various provinces, it can be found that although the economic growth rate in the third quarter was affected by many factors, such as epidemic situation, flood and high base in the previous year, China’s economic strength, resilience and vitality remained unchanged. "All provinces have made great efforts to promote high-quality economic growth based on their own industrial structure and location advantages, and achieved good results. The regional economy is more balanced and coordinated, effectively responding to the tests of epidemic situation and public opinion. "

　　Income and consumption, the central and western regions accelerate to catch up.

　　"During the National Day holiday this year, many friends came to Xinjiang to travel." Zhang Junhui, a young man from Xinjiang, and his friends opened a folk shop in Grand Bazaar, Urumqi. On the shelves in the store, from Hetian jade to Badanmu, from Tianshan Snow Lotus to Dongbulaqin, all kinds of goods are dazzling. Benefiting from the continuous recovery of domestic consumer demand and the booming local holiday tourism, business in Zhang Junhui is good.

　　The simultaneous increase of residents’ income and consumption expenditure is the main feature of local economic recovery and growth.

　　In terms of income, the per capita disposable income of the national residents in the first three quarters reached 26,265 yuan, a nominal increase of 10.4% over the same period of last year; After deducting the influence of price factors, the real growth rate was 9.7%, which was basically in sync with GDP growth.

　　Among them, the per capita disposable income of residents in nine eastern provinces, including Shanghai, Beijing, Zhejiang, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Fujian, Shandong and Liaoning, continues to lead 31 provinces, which is higher than the national average. At the same time, the central and western provinces showed outstanding performance in the year-on-year growth rate of income. The nominal growth rate of per capita disposable income of residents in 13 provinces, including Tibet, is higher than the national average. Tibet, Hubei, Yunnan and Anhui in the top five are all central and western provinces, among which Tibet’s growth rate is as high as 15.27%.

　　Combing the income data of residents in recent years, we will find that the per capita disposable income of the central and western provinces has maintained a rapid growth rate. Among them, the growth rate of per capita disposable income in Tibet, Guizhou, Anhui, Sichuan, Yunnan, Chongqing and Jiangxi provinces in the first three quarters of the past three years exceeded the national average. According to experts’ analysis, on the one hand, this is related to the low per capita disposable income base in the central and western provinces, on the other hand, it is also the result of the state’s increased transfer payment to the central and western regions, the effective connection between the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation achievements and rural revitalization, and the implementation of relevant regional development strategies.

　　The income of rural residents grew faster than that of urban residents, and the relative income gap between urban and rural residents continued to narrow. In the first three quarters, the per capita disposable income of urban residents was 35,946 yuan, a real increase of 8.7% after deducting the price factor; The per capita disposable income of rural residents was 13,726 yuan, a real increase of 11.2% after deducting the price factor. The actual growth rate of per capita disposable income of rural residents is 2.5 percentage points faster than that of urban residents.

　　Looking at consumption again, in the first three quarters, the per capita consumption expenditure of the national residents reached 17,275 yuan, a nominal increase of 15.8% on the basis of a decrease of 3.5% in the same period of last year; After deducting the price factor, the actual increase was 15.1%.

　　Regionally, the eastern provinces have a higher level of consumer expenditure. The data shows that in the first three quarters, the per capita consumption expenditure of eight provinces, including Shanghai, Beijing, Zhejiang, Tianjin, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian and Chongqing, exceeded the national average, and the above provinces were all eastern provinces except Chongqing.

　　However, the central and western provinces are catching up and speeding up in terms of residents’ consumption level, and the gap with the eastern provinces continues to narrow. Among the top five in the year-on-year growth rate of per capita consumption expenditure, Hubei, Heilongjiang, Guizhou and Xinjiang are all central and western provinces, among which Hubei and Heilongjiang rank in the top two with growth rates of 26.14% and 25.66% respectively.

　　Strive for "wonderful all year round"

　　In the fourth quarter, all localities have indicated that they will continue to co-ordinate the prevention and control of epidemic situation and economic and social development, and strive to achieve "wonderful all year round" economic recovery and development.

　　Hubei Province has made it clear that it will "sprint with all its strength" in the fourth quarter and strive to achieve "a beautiful start and a wonderful year". "The first quarter ‘ Open higher and walk higher ’ , the second quarter ‘ Half-way wonderful ’ , the third quarter ‘ Pressurize and stabilize, and the development resilience continues to appear, laying a good foundation for achieving the goal of economic and social development throughout the year. Ye Fusheng, chief economist of Hubei Provincial Bureau of Statistics, said.

　　Benefiting from the free trade port policy dividend, Hainan’s GDP growth rate in the first three quarters ranked second in the country. According to the local authorities, the implementation of major projects in the Free Trade Port will be accelerated in the fourth quarter, reaching a new level.

　　Beijing’s economic growth rate in the first three quarters surpassed Shanghai for the first time in recent years, ranking third in the country, with the new economy accounting for nearly 40% of Beijing’s GDP. Recently, the North Exchange was officially launched. As various policies and measures continue to be effective, Beijing said that it has the ability and conditions to complete the expected goals and tasks for the whole year.

　　Many experts also pointed out that although the high-quality economic development of various provinces in the first three quarters handed over excellent answers, on the whole, there are still differences in the level of economic development between different regions and different provinces. In the next step, we should continue to focus on promoting coordinated regional development.

　　In the first three quarters, the provinces whose GDP growth rate was higher than the national average were mostly the eastern provinces and the central provinces; On average, the growth rate of western provinces in the first three quarters was relatively low, which was not satisfactory.

　　"This is first of all due to the recurrence of epidemics in some provinces, which affects the local economic growth momentum. Secondly, the industrial structure in the western region is relatively simple and relatively dependent on investment. " Su Jian analysis. In addition, due to factors such as sporadic epidemics and extreme weather, the recovery of consumption and investment in some central and western provinces is relatively slow. "This reveals some bottlenecks in regional economic development, and some provinces rely more on the development model of undertaking industrial transfer and scale growth at home and abroad, which needs to be upgraded urgently." Su Jian said.

　　Su Jian believes that in the process of promoting regional coordinated development, we should continue to strengthen regional cooperation and form complementary advantages. At the same time, local governments should combine the industrial structure and resource endowment in the region, formulate differentiated policy programs, and adhere to local conditions, classified guidance, and targeted policies. In addition, we should give full play to the role of foreign markets, base ourselves on the highland of opening to the outside world in the pilot free trade zones around the country, and drive the development of surrounding areas.

　　"In this process, we should increase investment in infrastructure, reduce the cost of regional economic cooperation, and build a growth engine of strategic emerging industries with unique characteristics, complementary advantages and reasonable structure. We will continue to promote the coordinated development of urban agglomerations and metropolitan areas in the eastern, central and western regions, focusing on areas with economic development advantages such as central cities and urban agglomerations, forming an important power source for high-quality development and driving the overall improvement of national economic efficiency. " Su Jian said.

　　1. What is the meaning of "trade-in of household appliances"?

　　"Trade-in of household appliances" refers to the behavior of consumers selling old household appliances and buying new ones. Consumers sell five types of old household appliances specified by the state, such as televisions, refrigerators (freezers), washing machines, air conditioners and computers. After being recycled by the household appliance recycling enterprises determined by the tender, they obtain the nationally printed household appliance trade-in recycling certificate, and then purchase the above five types of new household appliances at the household appliance sales enterprises determined by the tender with the trade-in recycling certificate and the consumer’s valid certificate, and apply for the price subsidy for household appliances trade-in.

　　2. When will the city continue to implement the trade-in policy for home appliances?

　　According to the Letter of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Environmental Protection on Printing and Distributing the Work Plan for the Promotion of Household Appliances Trade-in and the Implementation Measures for Household Appliances Trade-in (Revised Draft) formulated by seven ministries and commissions, this Municipality will continue to implement the policy of household appliances trade-in after the end of the pilot period, and the implementation period is tentatively set as December 31, 2011. During this period, buyers who participate in the trade-in of household appliances in this city can apply for the price subsidy for the trade-in of household appliances in accordance with the regulations, obtain the recycling certificate for the trade-in of household appliances and purchase new household appliances from the successful home appliance sales enterprise.

　　3. Are there any restrictions on the types of home appliances that participate in the trade-in of home appliances?

　　The types of household appliances that can participate in the trade-in of household appliances during the promotion and implementation period of this Municipality are the same as those in the pilot period, and they are still five types of household appliances: televisions, refrigerators (including freezers), washing machines, air conditioners and computers. The state only subsidizes buyers who sell the above five categories of old household appliances and buy the above five categories of new household appliances, but the purchase of new household appliances is not subject to the corresponding restrictions on the types of old household appliances sold. For example, after the buyer sells an old TV and obtains the certificate of recycling household appliances, he can go to the successful home appliance sales enterprise to buy any of the five types of household appliances (such as refrigerators or washing machines), and can apply for price subsidies according to the prescribed standards.

　　4. What is the subsidy standard for replacing old appliances with new ones?

　　During the promotion and implementation period, the subsidy standard in the pilot stage is still used, that is, 10% of the sales price of new household appliances is subsidized, but the upper limit of the subsidy standard is limited for each type of household appliances. Among them, the maximum subsidy for TV sets is 400 yuan/set, for refrigerators (including freezers) is 300 yuan/set, for washing machines is 250 yuan/set, for air conditioners is 350 yuan/set and for computers is 400 yuan/set.

　　5. Is there any reference price standard for selling old household appliances?

　　Beijing Renewable Resources Recycling and Second-hand Goods Industry Association, after consulting with household appliances recycling enterprises and dismantling enterprises, referred to the residual value of resources after dismantling old household appliances and the costs of recycling enterprises and dismantling enterprises, and considered the public’s acceptance of the recycling price of old household appliances, formulated the reference price of recycling old household appliances and the integrity standard of main parts. The price is published by the association and clearly stated at various recycling outlets.

　　Hand in the old household appliances can choose the national household appliances trade-in policy or other ways to hand in the old according to the actual situation. The recycling price of used household appliances shall be determined through negotiation between the buyer and the recycling enterprise, and both parties may refer to this price standard when negotiating.

　　6. What should I do if the main parts are incomplete when selling old household appliances?

　　Handing over old household appliances should meet the integrity requirements of the main parts of old household appliances. If the old household appliances sold are short of major components, the household appliance recycling enterprise will reduce the purchase price as appropriate according to the lack of major components, and the specific recycling price will be determined through consultation between the recycling enterprise and the seller.

　　7. Is the subsidy object of home appliance trade-in in this city restricted by household registration?

　　The subsidy object of home appliance trade-in in this city is residents with Beijing hukou and legal entities registered in Beijing (collectively referred to as buyers above); At present, non-Beijing hukou personnel and non-Beijing registered legal entities cannot enjoy the subsidy policy of home appliances trade-in in this city.

　　8. Is there a quantity limit for buyers to participate in the trade-in of home appliances?

　　In the pilot stage, there is no quantitative restriction on buyers’ participation in home appliance trade-in. However, during the promotion and implementation period (from June 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011), according to the "Implementation Measures for Household Appliances Trade-in (Revised Draft)" formulated by seven national ministries and commissions, the number of individuals participating in household appliances trade-in, selling old household appliances and buying new ones does not exceed five; Legal entities participate in the trade-in of home appliances, and the number of old home appliances sold and new home appliances purchased does not exceed 50. Because the identity certificate of the purchaser who buys new household appliances and sells old household appliances must be consistent, when the number of new household appliances purchased with the recycling certificate exceeds a limited number, the part exceeding the limited number cannot enjoy the subsidy for buying new household appliances.

　　9. Are the new household appliances purchased by consumers and the old household appliances sold during the pilot period within the limit?

　　At present, the "Household Appliances Trade-in Management Information System" has shielded the records of purchasing new household appliances and selling old household appliances before June 1, 2010. Therefore, during the pilot period, the number of consumers who have purchased new household appliances and sold old household appliances is not counted in the restricted number. That is to say, if consumers have bought five new household appliances with the same ID card during the pilot period, but recalculated from June 1, 2010, they can buy at most five new household appliances.

　　10. What are the procedures for buyers to sell old household appliances and buy new ones?

　　(1) There are two ways for buyers to participate in the trade-in of household appliances in physical stores.

　　1. Participate in the trade-in procedure by "handing in the old before purchasing the new":

　　(3) The home appliance recycling enterprise shall provide the old home appliance recycling service according to the requirements of the purchaser, and make an acquisition with reference to the published reference price of the old home appliance recycling during the promotion implementation period and the integrity requirements of the main parts of the old home appliance (if the main parts of the old home appliance are missing, the recycling enterprise may negotiate with the purchaser for pricing), and issue a nationally printed home appliance trade-in recycling certificate to the purchaser;

　　(4) The original and photocopy of the buyer’s trade-in recycling certificate and identity certificate (including ID card, household register, military officer’s card or soldier’s card that can prove the household registration in this city) (the legal entity must hold the original and photocopy of the business license and legal entity code certificate) to the successful home appliance sales enterprise to arbitrarily purchase home appliances within the scope of subsidy, and apply for price subsidy to the sales enterprise on site.

　　2. Participate in the trade-in procedures by "purchasing new products first and then handing over old ones":

　　(1) After the buyer goes to a home appliance sales enterprise with dual qualifications of home appliance recycling and sales, he should show the original ID card, and according to the tips of the staff, go to the service desk to inquire about the number of new and old purchases.

　　Because the country has set a number limit for buyers to participate in the trade-in of household appliances during the promotion and implementation period, if the number of used household appliances sold by individual buyers with the same ID card exceeds 5, the excess part cannot participate in the trade-in of household appliances. Therefore, buyers need to provide the original ID card when selling old household appliances, and recycling enterprises should log in to the "Household Appliances Trade-in Management Information System" of the Ministry of Commerce in time to check the number of old household appliances sold by buyers; When recycling, the recycling personnel should check the original ID card of the purchaser before filling out the recycling certificate of old household appliances.

　　Buyers who apply for subsidies for replacing new household appliances with old ones should also go to the sales enterprise with the original and photocopy of their ID cards; If the buyer can’t handle it in person, he can also entrust others to handle it on his behalf, but the agent needs to provide the original and photocopy of his and the buyer’s ID cards and other relevant information.

　　14. Can I enjoy the price subsidy when buying new home appliances with promotional discounts?

　　When the buyer participates in the trade-in of household appliances, the promotion discount of new household appliances does not affect the buyer’s enjoyment of the subsidy for trade-in of household appliances. If the new household appliances purchased by the purchaser are in the promotion and discount activities, the purchaser should first discount the new household appliances with the trade-in certificate, and then enjoy a 10% price subsidy on the basis of the discount, that is, enjoy the "discount".

　　Household appliance sales enterprises shall not restrict discount goods from enjoying trade-in subsidies, nor shall they restrict trade-in subsidized products from enjoying discount promotions.

　　15. How to inquire about the service outlets of home appliance recycling enterprises and sales enterprises?

　　Buyers can inquire about the information of recycling outlets and sales outlets of home appliance recycling enterprises in this city through the window of the capital, Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce, Beijing Scrap and Vintage Network and Beijing Tiantianjie website, and sell old home appliances and buy new home appliances nearby.

　　17. Is the quality of new household appliances with old ones guaranteed?

　　The new household appliances purchased by buyers who participate in the trade-in activities of household appliances are still protected by the national Product Quality Law, Consumer Protection Law and other relevant laws and regulations. If there are quality problems with new household appliances, the purchaser has the right to ask the household appliance sales enterprise to provide maintenance, replacement or return services; Household appliance sales enterprises should comply with the relevant provisions of national laws and regulations and provide satisfactory after-sales service to buyers.

　　18. Can I reissue the old-for-new recycling certificate of household appliances after it is lost?

　　The buyer can’t reissue the old-for-new recycling certificate of household appliances obtained by selling old household appliances, nor can he apply for the price subsidy for buying new household appliances.

　　21. Is there any regional restriction for buyers to sell used household appliances?

　　In order to facilitate buyers to sell old household appliances, Beijing is divided into five recycling areas, and each recycling area has more than three household appliance recycling enterprises responsible for recycling old household appliances in that area (see the attached table for details). In principle, the buyer sells old household appliances to the nearest recycling outlets of household appliance recycling enterprises responsible for recycling in this area according to the place of residence; Household appliance recycling enterprises provide home recycling services for old household appliances according to the winning recycling area. In addition, enterprises with dual qualifications of selling and recycling can provide a "one-stop" service for sending new and old appliances, that is, buyers first go to the sales enterprise to buy new household appliances, and the sales enterprise recycles and drags away the old household appliances while sending them to the door. If the buyer carries and sells the old household appliances to the household appliance recycling enterprise by himself, it is not restricted by the region.

　　22. Can new home appliances that enjoy the subsidy policy of "home appliances going to the countryside" apply for trade-in subsidies again?

　　The Implementation Measures for Trade-in of Home Appliances (Revised Draft) clearly stipulates that new home appliances that have enjoyed the subsidy policy of "Home Appliances Going to the Countryside" shall not enjoy the trade-in subsidy repeatedly. Therefore, if the purchaser has purchased home appliances to the countryside and has applied for subsidies for home appliances to the countryside, he can no longer apply for subsidies for replacing old appliances with new ones.

　　23. Can buyers buy new home appliances before selling old ones?

　　Yes, but it can only be implemented in enterprises with dual qualifications of recycling and sales. That is, the purchaser can ask the enterprise to recycle the old household appliances while sending them to the door after the enterprise purchases the new household appliances. It should be emphasized that the home appliance sales enterprise shall not require the purchaser to purchase new home appliances before recycling old ones, and shall not set the time and standard for subsidizing the old-for-new certificates by itself.

　　24. How does the government strengthen the management of participating enterprises in the trade-in of household appliances?

　　In order to strengthen the management of the sales and recycling enterprises of trade-in household appliances, the Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce and other seven departments have formulated the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Trade-in Household Appliances in Beijing and its supplementary provisions. Signed "Household Appliance Trade-in Recovery Agreement" and "Household Appliance Trade-in Sales Agreement" with the successful home appliance recycling enterprises and home appliance sales enterprises; A performance bond of 100,000 yuan was collected from each successful bidder; Formulated the management regulations of trade-in vouchers and the penalty standards for breach of contract.

　　A few years ago, "brushing your face" was used by friends to tease each other. In a blink of an eye, eating by "face" has become a reality. Previously, the first smart subway in Guangzhou achieved "brushing face". Under the 5G tuyere, the major payment giants are gearing up, and the payment for brushing their faces begins to speed up.

　　Brush face payment makes people’s lives more convenient.

　　Bus card, change, mobile phone … … You don’t need to bring them all. In Guangzhou, just brush your face by subway! According to media reports, recently, Guangzhou’s first smart subway station was opened, and passengers can brush their faces without feeling the barrier. Face recognition is completed within 300 milliseconds, and 40 people can pass every minute.

　　Guiyang, as an inland capital city, opened the experience scene of subway face-brushing payment to the public as early as this year’s Expo. The general feedback from the public is, "It’s too fast and convenient to brush your face for seconds!"

　　At present, Guiyang is taking advantage of its own big data development to implement the application project of public transportation brush face. It is expected that by the end of 2019, some lines of Guiyang subway and bus will try to pay for brush face. Guiyang will gradually build a face-brushing consumption ecology, and realize "one registration, face brushing in the whole city" in the urban area.

　　I don’t know when it started, but face-brushing payment has penetrated into people’s daily life.

　　Xin Yang, deputy director of the National Engineering Laboratory of Disaster Recovery Technology and professor of Cyberspace Security College of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, said that from the original KFC KPRO restaurant to today’s pharmacies, supermarkets, convenience stores and many other offline retail scenes, more than one million consumers across the country have taken the lead in experiencing the convenience of paying by brushing their faces. At the same time, in the field of "internet plus government affairs", users in more than 170 cities have completed identity verification by brushing their faces, and handled matters such as provident fund withdrawal and tax inquiry online.

　　The era of brush face payment is gradually approaching.

　　"Brush face" under 5G tuyere speeds up and warms up.

　　Up to now, with the advent of the 5G era and the deep integration of technologies such as internet plus, AI intelligence, cloud computing and Internet of Things, the payment for face brushing has started to speed up and warm up.

　　Xinyang believes that compared with scanning code payment, face-brushing payment will bring more convenience to people, such as easy payment in the case of carrying heavy objects; Moreover, due to the superposition of AR capabilities, the payment scenario is more interesting.

　　On the other hand, in the face of increasing labor costs, face-brushing payment can better open up sources and reduce expenses for businesses.

　　The daily workload of a face brushing machine is equivalent to three cashiers. If 10 consumers check out at the same time, the traditional mode takes 56 seconds, while the face brushing only takes 10 seconds.

　　In Xinyang’s view, the greater imagination of face-brushing payment lies in its drainage ability and interactive marketing. "This is a new traffic portal in the future. Before and after payment, merchants can make unlimited extensions, such as combining consumption records and preferences to recommend suitable products to consumers. This is the real value of brush face payment and the future development direction. "

　　Xinyang predicts that Ali and Tencent are spending huge sums of money to promote and research the face-brushing payment technology, and the whole industry has great development prospects. In the next five years, face-brushing payment will show a spurt of growth and reshape the ecology of the entire payment industry and retail catering industry.

　　Strengthening the security line will be the top priority.

　　By uploading your own high-definition photos, you can replace the face of the protagonist in the classic film and television drama clips with your own face and perform with your beloved idol … … A few days ago, an APP called "Face Change" became popular on the Internet, which triggered a network carnival. However, because users need to blink and look up when they change their faces, which is similar to the face information collected when they pay by brushing their faces, the public can’t help but ask: At the moment when face-washing payment is becoming more and more popular, will the small video after "face-changing" fall into the hands of others, will it endanger the security of face-washing payment?

　　Xinyang said that compared with fingerprints and irises, human face is a biological feature with weak privacy, so the threat to citizens’ privacy is particularly worthy of attention when paying for it. "No matter what kind of face recognition technology, it can be cracked. Whether it is worth cracking depends only on the cost and benefits of cracking. "

　　Xinyang said that it is precisely because of the lack of mobile phone that the use of face information becomes easier. In the era of bio-payment opened by face-brushing technology, how to launch a fierce battle of attack and defense against new technologies, minimize the loss of interests of businesses and consumers, and make the security line stronger and stronger will be the top priority for the future development of face-brushing payment.

　　An embarrassing fact is that due to the imperfection of equipment maturity, customer acceptance and payment security, face-brushing payment has not achieved large-scale popularization in China. At present, users prefer to use relatively safe mobile phones to pay. (Correspondent He Chun, reporter He Xinghui)

In the live demonstration, we used Python to draw a red heart line, draw a three-dimensional diagram of the saddle equation and set up a gradient color, and generate a "greedy snake" with code … "iFLYTEK Spark" was completed one by one, and even the need to use a small video as an expression pack could be quickly solved.

According to Liu Qingfeng, according to HumanEval, a public test set of code ability built by OpenAI, the effect of Spark V1.5 Python language is only 41 points, and V2.0 has reached 61 points, which is close to ChatGPT. According to the test set of real-life code usage scenarios constructed by the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Intelligence, the dimension of code generation and completion has surpassed that of ChatGPT. According to the plan, iFLYTEK Spark Code will surpass ChatGPT in all dimensions on October 24th this year, and benchmark GPT-4 in the first half of next year.

Programming assistant iFlyCode is online

The upgrading of iFLYTEK Spark code capability not only enables ordinary people to program and develop, but also enables developers to improve efficiency. At the scene, the intelligent programming assistant iFlyCode1.0 was officially released. In Liu Cong, the function of "handwriting in the air" has been realized immediately without writing a single line iFlyCode after a few simple steps of Prompt. In the past, it took even experienced engineers half a day to complete it, but now it only takes a few minutes.

According to the statistics of more than 2,000 employees tested and used iFlyCode1.0 in iFLYTEK internal R&D efficiency platform within one month, in some typical scenarios, the code adoption rate reached 30%, the coding efficiency increased by 30%, and the comprehensive efficiency increased by 15%.

"Zero code" ability can also build a digital campus.

The upgrading of iFLYTEK Spark’s code ability, on the one hand, helps professional programmers to improve their efficiency, get rid of tedious routine work, and exert greater creative value, on the other hand, helps non-professional "Little White" enter the code world with zero threshold.

At the press conference, Iflytek released an industrial application case of code ability: teachers with "zero programming foundation" can also use the educational digital pedestal as a development assistant to meet the individual needs and customized development in the digital transformation of school management.

"Please help me build a school leaving management application. Parents can help students apply for leaving school. The application information needs to be approved by the class teacher." Only a simple instruction is needed to complete the application construction on the digital education base. After the voice input of parents’ leave, it becomes an automatic leave note, which is approved by the class teacher online. Teachers can see the list of students consulted today on the class board synchronously, and can also complete the statistics of school leavers under limited conditions according to their needs.

Liu Qingfeng said that the code capability is not only applied to the digital base of education in iFLYTEK, but also widely used in hospitals, universities, enterprises, governments and other different institutions, and it can be built quickly and presented quickly at low cost through iFlyCode.

Multi-modal capability applies multiple scenarios.

Code ability is the key dimension to support the wisdom of cognitive big model, and multimodal ability is the only way to realize general artificial intelligence.

On the same day, Liu Qingfeng released the multimodal ability of iFLYTEK Spark, and iFLYTEK Spark upgraded its image description, image question and answer, image recognition creation, text generation and virtual human synthesis, resulting in "iFLYTEK Zhizuo 2.0" which can create videos, "Spark Teacher’s Assistant" which can help teachers generate courseware with one click, "Spark Language Partner 2.0" which is oriented to students’ oral practice, and so on. "iFLYTEK Spark’s multimodal ability is a measurable model in the industry.

Liu Qingfeng said that at present, multimodal capability has been widely used in education, medical care, industry, automobiles, robots and other fields. It can obtain more and more data from the real world, and has learning, training and upgrading at the product terminal, including more flexible and autonomous industrial robots, better autonomous driving, and companion robots entering the home.

"Multimodal capability is also Iflytek’s established long-term strategy of artificial intelligence technology." In the last three years, Iflytek has won 17 international authoritative evaluation champions in the multimodal field. In early 2022, iFLYTEK released the "iFLYTEK Super Brain 2030 Plan" which includes core competencies such as multimodal perception, deep understanding, multidimensional expression and sports intelligence, so that robots with knowledge, good learning and evolution can enter every family. "With the opportunity of general artificial intelligence, we will strive to build everyone’s AI assistant and release everyone’s unlimited dreams."

Building a new ecology of general artificial intelligence

"The development of artificial intelligence in China is by no means the mission of a single enterprise or a single research institute, but the opportunity of the whole society. The development of ecology determines the prosperity of the industry." Liu Qingfeng said at the press conference that since the release of iFLYTEK Spark on May 6, the number of developers has increased by 282% year-on-year, and the number one in the developer industry distribution is "enterprise service", "indicating that the big model has really begun to be empowered to just need applications."

In addition to the original initiatives such as opening up capabilities, co-construction of industries, and dual-innovation empowerment, Iflytek announced at the press conference that it would further open up the assistant ecosystem, plug-in market and Spark Camp, and build a new ecosystem of general artificial intelligence with the developer team.

　　BEIJING, May 16 (Xinhua) Title: Guqin producer in Guangxi farmhouse: Going to Taiwan Province to bring his craft back to his hometown.

　　Author Liu Juncong Huang Lijie

　　In a field manor in Liujiang District, Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province, firewood for cooking by the fireside is sizzling. At this time, Wei Xing held a brush and skillfully painted the guqin blank with "big paint" over and over again. This is a natural paint made from plants, and only the traditional guqin production will go through this important process step.

　　Born in 1985, Wei Xing is a guqin producer who has been studying guqin production for more than three years. She studied guzheng in the Conservatory of Music at the university, and never imagined that she would get involved with the guqin one day and become the inheritor of the production skills of this ancient musical instrument.

　　In the 2008 Olympic Games, an ethereal guqin piece "The Legacy of Taikoo" echoed over the "Bird’s Nest" Stadium, attracting the attention of the whole world, including Wei Xing, who just graduated from college. "At that time, I was fascinated by its unique timbre. Before the song of the Olympic Games was played, almost no one knew guqin, and many people would mistake guqin for guzheng, so it was very difficult to learn it. " Wei Xing said.

　　As a last resort, Wei Xing at that time could only teach himself to play guqin with the help of relevant textbooks. With the rapid development of playing skills, Wei Xing became more and more fond of this ancient instrument. In 2015, while visiting relatives in Taiwan Province, Wei Xing met Lin Lizheng, a well-known local guqin producer. This coincidence made guqin completely change Wei Xing’s life.

　　"At that time, I wanted to worship Master Lin as a teacher and learn the production process of Guqin. But master Lin watched a girl film of mine, but he didn’t agree anyway. In the end, it was a long time before the master reluctantly accepted me as an apprentice. After I really got started, I discovered that guqin production is not an easy task. " Wei Xing said.

　　Wei Xing said that the production of guqin should strictly follow the tradition and the process is complicated. Just the process of painting surface polishing needs to be polished step by step and repeatedly by hand. "The key point of this process is not to use force, but to polish it gently. Brothers and sisters joked that they should’ not eat for three days’ before starting polishing, so the intensity is just right. " Weixing laughed.

　　The tedious and boring production process, coupled with the master’s high-standard production requirements, made this girl who had left her hometown once think of giving up. However, an extremely harsh rebuke from the master made Wei Xing’s psychological defense completely collapse.

　　"At that time, I immediately wanted to pack my bags and go home. But then I calmed down and thought about it carefully. If I don’t learn this skill, then this instrument is very likely to be lost in the future. " With the comfort of brothers and sisters, Wei Xing picked up the carving knife again. "Learning to make guqin is also tempering and practicing, which has taught me meditation." She said.

　　Three years later, Wei Xing bid farewell to his master and classmates, and returned to his hometown successfully. Wei Xing, who had a "garden dream" since childhood, rented a farmhouse quadrangle in the suburbs of Liuzhou and engaged in guqin production in a beautiful and secluded environment every day. She said that it takes one to two years to make each guqin. At present, she has completed a number of customized guqin works, and the price ranges from 10,000 yuan.

　　It is understood that the history of guqin can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, and it has a history of at least 3,000 years. Its timbre is low and its aftertaste is long. As a musical instrument with high cultural status in ancient China, Guqin has been a bridge for many scholars to exchange ideas since ancient times, and it is known as "scholars never withdraw their harps and instruments without reason".

　　After years of silence, Guqin has once again attracted the attention and love of China people, and has gradually become one of the teaching subjects in major music colleges in recent two years. "The domestic environment is slowly getting better, and more and more people are beginning to learn about this ancient musical instrument from me. I am glad to see that it has not been forgotten." Wei Xing said.

　　At present, Wei Xing has also opened guqin playing classes for adults and teenagers, so that more people can feel the charm of the voice of the ages. "Everyone likes it very much, and I will try my best to teach them playing skills. I don’t want this instrument to be lost in our generation." Wei Xing said. (End)

Near the Spring Festival, e-commerce "New Year Festival" is full of tricks, and cross-border e-commerce is becoming more and more busy. In recent years, China has become the largest and fastest-growing cross-border e-commerce market in the world. Consumers can easily "buy globally" and enjoy high-quality products from all over the world without leaving home. With China’s opening wider and wider, relevant departments have successively issued substantial favorable policies, and with the escort of the Electronic Commerce Law, cross-border e-commerce is expected to enter a new period of healthy and rapid development.

The market potential is growing.

The strength of cross-border e-commerce has further enhanced the internationalization of double 11. According to the data of the Ministry of Commerce, from November 1 to 11, 2018, the sales of cross-border e-commerce imported goods exceeded 30 billion yuan, and a well-known domestic e-commerce platform introduced nearly 19,000 overseas brand goods from 75 countries and regions to participate in the promotion.

The huge capacity of the domestic demand market and the development of the Internet have enabled domestic consumers to gradually develop the habit of "Haitao" through cross-border e-commerce. Many heads of multinational companies said that with the improvement of China residents’ income level and the change of consumption concept, the potential of China market will only grow.

According to the statistics of E-commerce Research Center, in the first half of 2018, the scale of cross-border e-commerce import transactions in China reached 1.03 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.4%. By the end of June 2018, there were 75 million users who regularly conducted cross-border online shopping in China.

The development of cross-border e-commerce has also brought new business models and new operating systems for the operation, management and service of the entire logistics system. In this regard, international logistics companies feel particularly deeply. Chen Wenhong, managing director of FedEx China Marketing Department, said earlier that in recent years, the growth rate of China’s imports is much higher than that of its exports in both B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-customer) fields, making it the fastest growing market for cross-border e-commerce in the world.

A series of timely and effective reform measures have also promoted the growth of cross-border e-commerce. For example, the the State Council executive meeting held in November 2018 decided to continue and improve cross-border electronic commerce’s retail import policy and expand its scope of application, so as to stimulate consumption potential.

E-commerce platform seizes opportunities

With the increasingly important role of cross-border e-commerce in China’s foreign trade, major e-commerce companies also seize the opportunity to compete for layout. During the China International Import Expo held last year, Ali, Suning, JD.COM and other e-commerce platforms announced their import plans one after another, and took the opportunity to purchase goods and explore sources of goods. Among them, Suning has released a three-year global procurement plan of 10 billion euros, and will conduct large-scale procurement on a global scale. More than half of the procurement amount will be used for high-quality lifestyle products such as home appliances, mothers and babies, and supermarket beauty department stores.

At the same time, the vigorous development of cross-border e-commerce in China has also provided overseas businesses with new channels to enter the China market. Many internationally renowned brands regard cross-border e-commerce enterprises in China as their preferred trading partners in China. Experts said that China consumers’ import consumption has gradually become normal, and the imported consumer groups are younger, which provide a solid foundation and new opportunities for the faster development of cross-border e-commerce in China.

It is not only e-commerce companies that seize opportunities, but also local governments. In July 2018, the State Council agreed to establish cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone in 22 cities including Beijing, Hohhot and Shenyang, and actively deepen the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform in foreign trade. As of 2018, the number of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive experimental zones in China has reached 35. Relevant reform measures have been introduced in many pilot areas to realize the liberalization, facilitation and standardized development of cross-border electronic commerce.

Industry insiders predict that the central and western regions will become the development focus of cross-border e-commerce in the future, and the "Belt and Road" countries will be the focus of cross-border e-commerce development and open a new channel for supply-side reform.

Favorable policies encourage development

With the implementation of favorable policies related to cross-border e-commerce, the development of cross-border e-commerce in China is expected to enter a "golden age". The E-commerce Law, which has been implemented since New Year’s Day this year, clearly states that the state promotes the development of cross-border electronic commerce, establishes and improves the management systems of customs, taxation, entry-exit inspection and quarantine, payment and settlement, etc., which are adapted to the characteristics of cross-border electronic commerce, improves the facilitation level of all links in cross-border electronic commerce, and supports cross-border electronic commerce platform operators to provide cross-border electronic commerce with warehousing, logistics, customs declaration, inspection and other services.

At the executive meeting of the State Council held at the end of 2018, it was pointed out that on the basis of zero tariff within the limit for the goods in the cross-border e-commerce retail import list, and the import value-added tax and consumption tax are levied at 70% of the statutory taxable amount, the scope of goods enjoying preferential policies will be further expanded, and 63 tax items with large demand from the public will be added. In addition, the Ministry of Finance, the General Administration of Customs and the State Administration of Taxation jointly issued a notice saying that the tax policy for cross-border e-commerce retail imports will be adjusted, the upper limit of commodity quotas enjoying preferential tax policies will be raised, and the scope of the list will be expanded. The notice will be implemented as of January 1, 2019.

Experts pointed out that these measures will accelerate the development of new formats and new models such as cross-border e-commerce, help improve the level of openness, promote the steady growth of foreign trade import and export and new kinetic energy growth, and increase consumption and employment.

While encouraging and guiding development, we should also strengthen the supervision of cross-border e-commerce. According to the statistics of the State Administration of Market Supervision, in recent years, complaints and reports involving cross-border e-commerce have been on the rise, with milk powder, food, diapers, health care products and cosmetics having the highest number of complaints. How to make consumers feel at ease is a question that cross-border e-commerce must answer.

In this regard, the e-commerce law makes it clear that e-commerce operators engaged in cross-border electronic commerce should abide by the laws and administrative regulations on import and export supervision and management. The the State Council executive meeting also made it clear that the responsibilities of cross-border e-commerce enterprises, platforms, payment and logistics service providers will be strengthened in accordance with the principle of inclusive and prudent supervision, and the quality and safety monitoring and risk prevention and control of commodities will be strengthened.
