  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.

The crisis of Foxconn’s "Billion American Factory" lasted for 48 hours: Trump personally called and Guo Taiming changed his mind.

A phone call from Trump to Guo Taiming successfully reversed the collapse crisis of Foxconn’s American factory, which he called "the eighth wonder of the world".

On January 30th, Hu Guohui, the special assistant of Foxconn Chairman Guo Taiming, said in an interview with Reuters that Foxconn was rethinking its plan to invest 10 billion dollars to build an LCD panel factory in Wisconsin, USA, and would shift its recruitment Louis Woo engineers and researchers, rather than the manufacturing workers originally promised in this project. The panel factory plan may be reduced or even shelved.

As soon as the relevant report was published, it caused an uproar in the United States. After all, this largest foreign investment project in the history of the United States not only claims to provide 13,000 blue-collar jobs for Weizhou in the future, but also has always been regarded by Trump as his landmark victory in revitalizing American manufacturing.

On February 1st, Guo Taiming personally released a "real hammer" at Foxconn’s annual conference in Taipei, saying that Weizhou Investment "is making some changes, avoiding mass-produced projects and adjusting to the field of research and development". However, on the evening of Beijing time, an overseas phone call from Trump personally made Guo Taiming change his attitude again.

Foxconn issued a statement later that day, saying, "The Group will build a sixth-generation panel factory in Wisconsin Valley Science and Technology Park as planned. The whole park will serve as a local high-tech advanced manufacturing center and a hub for regional innovation and technology in the future. Shortly afterwards, Trump also announced this "great news" on Twitter.

In just two days, a storm suddenly happened and unexpectedly subsided. However, the "black history" of Foxconn’s repeated changes in Weizhou and other investment projects still makes the "10 billion dollar factory" under construction look distant.

On July 26, 2017, Foxconn officially announced the plan to set up a factory in Weizhou. At the White House press conference, Trump appeared and said: "If I am not elected, he (Guo Taiming) will definitely not invest this $10 billion. This is a great day for American workers and American manufacturing. Scott Walker, then governor of Weizhou, said: "This is a once-in-a-century opportunity for our state and even the whole United States, and Wisconsin is ready. 」

In order to attract Foxconn to Weizhou, the Weizhou government offered a total of $4 billion in tax relief and a series of incentive policies. However, according to the agreement signed by the two parties, Foxconn must achieve certain goals in capital investment and job creation every year in order to obtain the policy "red envelope" of that year. In 2018, Foxconn only created 178 jobs in Weizhou, which failed to meet the requirements of 260 jobs, thus missing the tax incentives of up to 9.5 million US dollars in that year.

Initially, Foxconn planned to produce large-screen panels suitable for TV and other consumer products in Weizhou factory. However, Hu Guohui said in an interview on January 30 that the cost of manufacturing TV display screens in the United States will increase due to the relatively high labor cost in the United States, so Foxconn’s investment direction in Weizhou will change: "As far as TV is concerned, we have no foothold in the United States and we are not competitive. 」

Hu Guohui said that instead of producing LCD panels in the United States, it would be more profitable to produce them in Greater China and Japan, then ship them to Mexico for final assembly, and then import the finished products into the United States. He said that this is a supply chain that conforms to Foxconn’s current "mobile and good business model."

Hu Guohui said that Foxconn would rather set up a "technology center" in Weizhou than a manufacturing plant. He revealed that this "technology center" will mainly include research departments and packaging and assembly businesses to produce technical products used in industry, health care and other professional fields.

The focus of Foxconn’s talent recruitment in Weizhou has also shifted. Hu Guohui said that in the future, about three-quarters of Foxconn’s recruitment in Weizhou will focus on R&D and design, rather than the blue-collar manufacturing workers promised before. "In Wisconsin, we are not building a factory. You can’t look at our investment in Weizhou from the perspective of a factory. 」

On February 1st, when Guo Taiming attended Foxconn’s annual conference in Taiwan Province, he also took the initiative to mention the change of Weizhou project. Guo Taiming said that the original plan was to do mass production, but in the United States, scientific and technological innovation has a good environment, talents and educational institutions, so the plan was adjusted to the direction of technology research and development.

Guo Taiming believes that investment projects and technologies in Weizhou should be "re-examined" to meet the current global market environment and meet the needs of local and customers, but he also said that the commitment to create 13,000 jobs has not changed. However, according to some sources, Foxconn has slowed down the pace of recruitment in Weizhou. It was originally expected to employ 5,200 people locally by 2020, but this number has been greatly reduced to 1,000. As for when Foxconn can complete the goal of 13,000 jobs, it is still unknown.

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean in the United States, Hu Guohui’s remarks were published by Reuters, which caused a sensation in Weizhou and caught officials off guard.

Tony Evers, the current governor of Weizhou, said that he was "surprised" by Foxconn’s latest plan. In last year’s election campaign against former Republican Governor Scott Walker, Democrat Tony Evers has always been a critic of Foxconn’s project. He said that Foxconn’s ever-changing plans have caused him a lot of troubles, and that the state’s $4 billion incentive for Foxconn is too high.

Gordon Hintz, the minority leader of the Victorian Parliament, said that Hu Guohui’s statement was completely contrary to Foxconn’s commitment made 18 months ago to revitalize the manufacturing industry in the southeastern part of the state. "Foxconn’s every step is exaggerated and it can’t achieve its goal. For taxpayers in Weizhou, this is simply disastrous news. 」

Nate Jensen, who studies incentive policies at the University of Texas at Austin, said that in view of the fact that Victoria’s drastic policies for Foxconn are extremely expensive and Foxconn’s investment changes are reducing the selling point of middle-income jobs, Victorian government officials should consider whether to renegotiate the incentive policies with Foxconn. Gordon Hintz also pointed out that "this is not the agreement promised to Wisconsin before". He said that local and state governments have invested millions of dollars in road improvement and other infrastructure, hoping to hold public hearings on Foxconn’s agreement and any renegotiation of the state contract.

On the occasion of discussions from all walks of life, Trump came out.

On the evening of February 1st, Foxconn issued a statement confirming that Guo Taiming and Trump had just spoken by phone in person, and "after the fruitful communication between the company team and the White House officials in the past year", Foxconn will continue to promote the planned Weizhou factory. Foxconn will build a "sixth generation" factory to produce small and medium-sized LCD panels as originally planned, including TV assembly and artificial intelligence R&D center, and will further expand its investment fields. Trump then wrote on Twitter: "After I talked to Guo Taiming, Foxconn in Wisconsin had good news. 」

The next day, February 2, at Foxconn’s annual meeting, Guo Taiming revealed the specific contents of his conversation with Trump: "Yesterday, I was fortunate to receive a phone call from Mr. Trump, the president of the United States, and he called me. In fact, I also went to the White House in December last year and had a detailed talk with him about the future economy and Sino-US trade, as well as investment in the United States. President Trump not only wants me to continue to invest in the research and development and manufacturing of LCD in Wisconsin, but also for self-driving and future aerospace technology. Then he also hopes that young talents can return to the midwest from (the United States) and invest in research and development, which gives us high expectations. 」

The Taiwanese businessman also turned Foxconn’s troubles in Weizhou into a compliment to Trump: "Mr. President, the unemployment rate in Wisconsin has dropped from 5-6% to 2.9% since you took office. That is to say, I can’t find any workers at all. Trump responded that he would try his best to help.

Guo Taiming believes that the United States is the largest market in the world, with the most talents, the highest technology and the best business environment: "Investing in the United States is a completely correct decision and in line with future economic trends. 」

A phone call has solved the recent worries of Weizhou, but it is difficult to worry about it.

The Wall Street Journal said that before the Weizhou project, Foxconn had many statements about expanding manufacturing in the United States, but they were not put into practice. In 2013, Foxconn said that it might invest $40 million in Pennsylvania for manufacturing and research. In 2014, Guo Taiming said that he was studying the feasibility of establishing an advanced display manufacturing factory in the United States. So far, neither of these two ideas has made any progress.

After Trump and Guo Taiming talked, CNN still reported that some experts who have been tracking the progress of Foxconn’s Weizhou project still doubt whether Foxconn can fully fulfill everything it promised to Weizhou. Steven Deller, a professor of economics at the University of Wisconsin, laughed after learning Foxconn’s latest statement: "I think Foxconn is playing tricks. They have done the same thing to India, Brazil and Pennsylvania. They have a black history of making promises but not fulfilling them. 」

Tim Culpan, a Bloomberg columnist who has long observed Foxconn’s dynamics, believes that Foxconn’s plan to invest in panels in the United States is completely unreasonable. He believes that it is not in Victoria’s interest to be too closely related to the panel industry, because it is a highly circular and cost-sensitive industry, and even if it recruits manpower on a large scale, it may lay off a large number of employees soon. He also said that recruiting more R&D jobs in the United States is only Foxconn’s "wishful thinking" because "there are not so many talents in the United States who can set foot in these fields. 」

On January 31st, Global Times, the official media in China, published an editorial article entitled "The Foxconn Project Changed from a Big Apple to a Small Begonia, Lessons". The article wrote in a sarcastic tone that Foxconn’s investment in Weizhou "is a strange investment that is economically unprofitable only by snapping fingers without using calculators". The article sarcastically said that Foxconn can’t really put it above "love for profit" if it wants to show "love for America". "If the Victorian government refuses to pay a huge sum of real money for all this, Foxconn will really go there to open an LCD factory with the level of" the eighth wonder of the world ",just to send it a certificate from the United States, which is really a ghost. 」

From the perspective of a multinational company, Guo Taiming has his own thoughts. He said at Foxconn’s annual meeting this year: "No matter what the outcome of the future world trade war is, on the one hand, the market will be in the west, the North American Free Trade Area headed by the United States, and on the other hand, the economic zone with a population of 1.4 billion will be headed by Chinese mainland. We have made great progress and investment on both sides, and both have trained many talents. 」

The practice of "seeing ghosts" in others’ eyes may be Foxconn’s "survival rule" under the new situation, and it also once again confirms Guo Taiming’s straightforward declaration that "businessmen have no motherland, and the market is my motherland."

SPring, a large synchrotron radiation source in Japan

First, the third generation synchrotron radiation light source with the highest energy in the world


SPring-8, a large-scale synchrotron radiation facility in Japan, is located in Harima Science Garden City, Hyogo) in Hyogo Prefecture, the center of the Japanese archipelago. It is the third generation synchrotron radiation source with the highest energy in the world. Its English name is Spring-8, which means "8GeV Super Photon Ring", that is, the output power is 8 GeV.


In 1991, under the leadership of MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), Jaeri (Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute) and Riken (the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research) of Japan began to jointly build SPring-8. The construction cost of the first phase is about 110 billion yen, and the land is donated by Hyogo Prefecture for free. With the joint support of the county government, the county university, various research institutes and commercial enterprises, the project was completed in 1997, and the facilities were opened, which were managed by JASRI (Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute), including the operation, maintenance, transformation, user service and scientific research and development of light sources. JASRI is the only statutory management organization of SPring-8, which is private and non-profit, and employs more than 1,000 employees, 80% of whom are researchers and technicians. From October 1997 to 2010, SPring-8 has built 55 beam line stations.It has served more than 100,000 people in science, industry and business circles in Japan and the world.


Spring-8 in Japan, advanced photon source APS (Argone) in Argonne National Laboratory of the United States and European synchrotron radiation facility ESRF (Grenoble) in Grenoble, France are the three largest high-energy synchrotron radiation facilities in the world.

Third, structural exploration


The accelerator of SPring-8 mainly consists of four parts: 


* injector, Linac, 1GeV;; 


* Booster, 8 GeV;


* large Storage Ring, storage ring, 8GeV, used for high brightness X-ray; 


* Small storage ring, NewSUBARU, 1.5GeV, used for medium short pulse soft X-ray.



  1. Injector (Linac) 


The linear accelerator section is equipped with 26 3-meter-long accelerating units to accelerate the electron beam energy to 1GeV. The red part in the picture below is a quadrupole magnet used to focus the electron beam.  



Linear accelerator unit 1 


The electron beam is generated by a thermionic gun impregnated with barium and tungsten. The ion gun is located on the high-voltage board with a voltage of about 180KV. The pulse duration is 1ns or 40ns. The selected beam is focused on a buncher and accelerated to 1GeV energy with 25 accelerating cavities. Electron beam energy dispersion is reduced by energy compressor system (ECS). Then, the linear accelerator as the injector transports the electron beam to the intensifier or the NewSUBARU small storage ring. 


Some parameters of linear accelerator:



2. Booster Synchrotron


Annular, with a circumference of 396 meters. The 1GeV electron beam output from the linear accelerator will be accelerated to 8GeV in the intensifier. The blue image below shows the deflection magnet, which is used to generate synchronous radiation light; The yellow part is a six-stage magnet for stabilizing the electron beam.


Inside the synchrotron tunnel Branch point of the synchrotron (left) and SSBT (right)


Intensifier tunnel intensifier branch point (left) electron beam transport line SSBT (right) 


In FODO, the magnetic focusing structure of the intensifier, bending magnets and quadrupole magnets are alternately arranged, and the repetition frequency of injection, acceleration and output is set to 1Hz, and the harmonic number is 672. If a single beam is injected into the storage ring, an RF elimination system is installed to eliminate other electron beams adjacent to the main beam. The special timing system injects different beams according to the types of light required by each outlet station of the storage ring. 


Some parameters of the enhancer:



3. The large Storage Ring (storage ring)



The electron beam is injected into the storage ring from the transport line SSBT (left).


Huge ring with a circumference of 1436 meters. Its conventional unit consists of 2 deflection magnets, 10 four-stage magnets and 7 six-stage magnets, and its length is about 30 meters. The linear joints are located between conventional units, and are used to install plug-ins, RF accelerating cavities, beam injection systems, beam diagnosis systems, etc., with a total of 44 linear joints. 


Some parameters of large storage ring:




The large storage ring can store 8GeV electron beams for a long time, more than 100 hours. The energy consumed by synchrotron radiation is replenished by accelerating equipment installed in four radio stations around the storage ring. The constant current (top-up) injection mode effectively ensures the constant beam current intensity in the storage ring. 


Link: The 86th academic seminar of the Oriental Science and Technology Forum was held on December 7-8, 2006, with the topic of "beam orbit stability of the third generation synchrotron radiation light source". 


Dr Kouichi Soutome from Japan synchrotron radiation research institute (JASRI) gave a special report on "constant current injection and beam orbit stability of SPring-8". He first emphasized the necessity of providing users with a stable X-ray beam for precision experiments. In order to stabilize the beam position, it is necessary to restrain the beam trajectory change. He pointed out that the top-up injection mode with constant beam intensity in the storage ring can effectively ensure the stability of the synchrotron radiation light intensity. For this reason, SPring-8 has made great efforts to study the sources of various factors that cause orbit change, such as the change of magnet power supply and the vibration of vacuum chamber caused by cooling water.


SPring-8 also improves the beam trajectory correction system and the corresponding measurement system. For top-up implantation, SPing-8 adopts many measures, such as reducing the vibration of stored electron beam caused by implantation, reducing the loss of implanted electron beam, and maintaining long-term high-purity single beam implantation. Finally, he reported the stability of SPring-8 in beam orbit and the performance of top-up injection operation mode. The total current stability in SPring-8 storage ring is controlled within 0.1%, and the current intensity inconsistency of each beam is also controlled within 10%.

V. Major scientific research achievements


1. Uncover the secret of the mysterious structure and movement mode of water molecules.


Water is a familiar substance, and the structure of water molecule H2O is well known. But perhaps people haven’t thought deeply: where does ice store huge cooling energy? Why is the density of water the highest at 4oC? But above or below 4oC, the water density decreases? Why is the density of solid ice less than liquid water?


Japanese scientists analyzed the structure of water and ice in SPring-8, and some new discoveries solved the long-debated problem about the nature of water. They successfully conducted Compton scattering experiment by using high-energy inelastic scattering beam line BL08W, directly observed the structure and function of ice at high resolution, and verified the accuracy of molecular dynamics simulation. This basic research result can help to develop thermal storage materials and analyze the thermal storage of new materials in the future. The paper was published in the top American science journals.


In fact, as early as 2008, scientists from RIKEN Institute of Physics and Chemistry in Japan proposed two water states with different hydrogen bonding modes by using BL17SU beam line and soft X-ray spectrum of SPring-8, as well as small angle scattering and Raman scattering.

2. Develop general-purpose plastic materials as strong as iron.


Plastic products such as plastic bags and plastic buckets have become widely used and indispensable items in our daily life because they are light, waterproof and cheap. But at the same time, it also has some disadvantages: low tensile strength, easy deformation and not high temperature resistance. They are synthesized from polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and their structures at the molecular level are composed of long chains of carbon atoms. This "string" structure of polymer makes plastic products as soft as biomaterials. However, scientists have found that the tensile strength of materials will increase with the increase of polymer chain length; When carbon chains have tensile strength similar to covalent bonds of carbon atoms in diamonds, general plastics will harden, but they will not have diamond-like strength.


Distinguished professor Hikosaka of The Graduate School of Integrated Arts and Sciences (Hiroshima University) focuses on the study of polymer long chains and their structural and characteristic changes. He examined the blending phase structure of polyethylene long chain and its influence on properties by X-ray diffraction and other methods. The growth mechanism, sliding and diffusion effect mechanism of ideal polymer crystals are formulated. In 1987, the "sliding diffusion theory of polymer crystallization" was put forward.


The research team led by Professor Iwasaka and his doctoral student Kiyoka Okada, who used BL40B2 beam line in 2003-2007, observed the process of nuclear nucleation. ) From 2007 to 2010, using the X-ray scattering device of SPring-8, a new polypropylene-based plastic with strong tensile force and super heat resistance was successfully developed for the first time: NOCs(nano-oriented crystals).


The reason why ordinary plastics have poor tensile strength is because of low crystallinity. High-quality plastics are those with crystallinity of about 50%. In other words, the higher the crystallinity, the stronger the intermolecular interaction, and the stronger the tensile strength and heat resistance. When polymer molecules are regularly arranged, crystals form. Therefore, in order to improve the crystallinity, it is necessary to arrange the polymer molecules regularly as much as possible.



Professor Masamichi Hikosaka, Dr. Kiyoka Okada, holds a new type of polypropylene.


The research team led by Professor Iwasaka found a method to make polymers regularly arranged when plastics are in molten state, and proved that the crystallinity of the method is 92%. Because the structure of NOCsS looks like a real armor, it is composed of small pieces of iron plates, so the model is called "real armor" model. The tensile strength of the new polypropylene is about seven times higher than that of the ordinary plastic material, the heat-resistant temperature reaches 170°C or higher than 176°C, the light transmittance is 99%, and it is recyclable and cheap, because only one process is needed in the traditional polypropylene production process.


This wonderful new plastic material is most likely to be used in the transformation of steel body in traditional automobile industry. Although the thickness of the body will be doubled, its weight is only a quarter of that of steel.


3. Analyze the change of dynamic structure of calcium pump.


A variety of ions participate in the biological activity of organisms. Calcium 2+ ion promotes muscle movement and is one of the most important ions in organisms. It is stored in the endoplasmic reticulum of myofibrils. When calcium ions are released into muscle cells, muscles contract. At the same time, calcium ions need to return to the endoplasmic reticulum to relax the muscles. A membrane protein called calcium pump is responsible for pumping back calcium 2+ ions.


Pumping back calcium ions involves two processes: obtaining and releasing, and the structure of calcium pump changes accordingly. Chikashi Toyoshima (Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences of the University of Tokyo) first discovered this structural change and analyzed the calcium pump structure in nine states.


His research results were published in the British journal Nature in 2000, 2002 and 2004. In view of this series of outstanding achievements, Professor Toyoda was awarded the Asahi Prize in 2009.

4. Discovery of new magnetic materials on meteorites


Every year, thousands of tons of meteorites fall to the earth. Although their surfaces are burnt black, their internal metal and mineral components remain unchanged, so they are called "fossils" in space. It provides powerful evidence for human beings to understand the mysteries of the solar system.


Masato Kotsugi, JASRI) of Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute used the Photoelectron Emission Microscope (PEEM) on BL25SU beam line of SPring-8 to analyze the structure of iron meteorites. Iron meteorite is composed of α phase rich in iron and γ phase rich in nickel. Dr. Xiao Shan confirmed that there is a nano-scale mineral layer at the interface between iron and nickel, which is called Tetrataenite. However, it does not exist on the earth and will become an excellent new magnetic material. Dr. Xiao Shan further analyzed the characteristics of Tetrataenite, which is composed of 50% iron and 50% nickel, and the iron and nickel atoms are alternately arranged, which is a regular periodic crystal structure. It produces a kind of hard magnetism, that is, the magnetization direction will not change easily. Famous hard magnetic materials include permanent magnets and materials used in engines of hybrid vehicles.



Another important discovery of Dr. Xiao Shan: Tetrataenite will be a potential substitute in hard disk manufacturing. Platinum is an indispensable material for the next generation hard disk, but it is a rare metal, and its price is rising. At present, the demand for platinum has exceeded its production capacity. About 2 tons of platinum is used in global hard disk production every year. If Tetrataenite synthesized by iron and nickel can be used as hard disk material, the consumption of platinum will be greatly reduced, thus promoting resource conservation and low-cost production of hard disks.


Chiharu Mitsumata (Toho Kyu University) of Tohoku University in Japan is carrying out basic research on the synthesis of Tetrataenite.


As a result, Dr. Koyama and Professor Sanyan won the second place in Dubose-Crouse Award (international metallic graphic contest) in 2010.

 5. Successfully developed all-solid-state safety battery by nanotechnology.


Professor Hiroshi Kitagawa (Kyoto University) of Kyoto University and Dr Rie Makiura (Kyushu University) of Kyushu University have studied nano-scale silver iodide (AgI) particles. They proved for the first time in the world that it is possible to realize stable solid electrolyte at room temperature. This research achievement is highly valued because of its great development potential. The paper was published in the British scientific journal Nature Materials in May 2009.



6. the three-dimensional structures of Rab27B and Slac2-a are analyzed.


In 2004, Dr. Mitsunori Fukuda (Tohoku University) of the Graduate School of Life Sciences of Northeastern University clarified the transmission mechanism of melanin in melanocytes at the molecular level. In 2008, in cooperation with Shigeyuki Yokoyama of RIKEN Institute of Physical Chemistry, he successfully analyzed the three-dimensional structures of Rab27B and Slac2-a in BL41XU Experimental Station of Structural Biology on SPring-8. Their structural data will greatly promote the research and development of new skin whitening products and drugs to prevent white hair.


7. The new chewing gum Pos-Ca can effectively prevent tooth decay.


Dr. Tomoko Tanaka (the Health Science Laboratory of Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd.) found that calcium phosphate oligosaccharide supported the remineralization of teeth, which promoted the appearance of new chewing gum with calcium phosphate oligosaccharide (Pos-Ca).

8. Research and development of new drugs against influenza virus


Influenza virus consists of eight RNA genes, and there are two types of spike proteins on the surface of virus particles: hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). Because of its simple structure, the virus cannot replicate itself. However, they can be skillfully replicated by using the replication system of human cells after invading human host cells.


HA, like a key, can invade the human body after combining with glycoprotein on the cell surface. NA plays an important role in the separation and release of progeny virus from cells, and is an enzyme that helps the virus infect other bacteria. The amino acids that make up the above two proteins are prone to mutation. So far, scientists have discovered 16 kinds of HA and 9 kinds of NA proteins. These protein are arbitrarily combined into various types of influenza viruses (H1N1–H16N9). For example, influenza A H1N1, which was prevalent in 2009, and H5N1 virus, avian influenza, which became prevalent in 1997.


Influenza virus encodes 10 kinds of proteins, among which RNA polymerase is very important in virus gene replication. It includes three subunits: PA, PB1 and PB2. When one of them is lacking, RNA polymerase loses its enzyme function and the virus cannot replicate. Therefore, if we can determine the three-dimensional structure of these three subunits, we can block the function of RNA polymerase.


In July 2008, Dr. Sam-Sam (Graduate School of Nanobioscience, yokohama city university) successfully analyzed the combined structure of PA and PB1, and analyzed the enzyme structure related to virus replication, which will accelerate the research and development of new antiviral drugs. It is not far away to realize the wish that people don’t have to worry about the flu in winter.

9. Reveal the secret of solar system formation by analyzing comet dust.


The American Stardust Project, 1999-2007) collected scattered dust samples of comet Wilder II (81P/Wild) and brought them back to Earth. It is expected that by analyzing these samples, information about the origin of comets and the entire solar system 4.6 billion years ago can be obtained.


Dr. Tomoki Nakamura (Kyushu University) of Kyushu University has conducted in-depth research on comet dust. He used the X-ray diffraction experimental device of BL37XU on SPring-8 and the synchrotron radiation facility of KEK to analyze and determine the crystal types and abundance ratio of dust. After that, Professor Akira Tsuchiyama (Osaka University) used the CT scan of BL47XU to visualize the internal structure of comet dust.


Dr. Nakamura found that "meteorite chondrules" originated from comet dust outside the solar system, so they can no longer be explained by the traditional model of solar system formation. "Meteorite chondrules" are the main components of ancient meteorites, rich in magnesium, silicon and a small amount of iron. The doctor believes that the migration of "globules" occurred in the primitive solar system composed of dust disks; However, he said that the analysis accuracy of at least 20 samples will be improved to obtain statistically significant conclusions. He will also continue to carry out comet meteorite dating and determine the migration time. It is expected that a new solar system formation model will be established soon.


10. Nanotechnology promotes the innovation of "new materials"


The shape characteristics of fullerenes discovered in 1985-containing 60 carbon atoms, like a football-have aroused widespread concern in the scientific community. In 1991, columnar carbon nanotubes were discovered. In January, 2008, Associate Professor Kitura & Hisa Nori Shinohara (Nagoya University) of Nagoya University successfully synthesized a nano-scale metal wire.

Carbon allotropes: diamonds and graphite, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes.


Pure gold is prone to oxidation reaction, but a very thin nanowire can exist stably in the air because nano-scale materials have a unique stable structure. In order to observe the internal structure of nanotubes, Associate Professor Bei Puliang conducted solid soft X-ray spectroscopy experiments at BL25SU experimental station in Spring–8. He observed that the absorption of Er by X-rays was unique, thus confirming that ErCl3 line was formed in carbon nanotubes.

Carbon nanotubes in fullerenes look like pods.

ErCL3 structural model (Er atoms in red and CL atoms in green)


Professor Tian Zhuo (University of Tokyo/RIKEN) of Tokyo University and Institute of Physical Chemistry is regarded as the most imaginative and productive polymer chemist in the world. In recent years, he took SPring-8 as an important research tool, and first successfully determined the structure of a new type of conductive graphite nanotubes. Then, he showed with solid evidence that the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of graphite molecules were closely connected in hydrophobic groups, forming tubular spiral molecular pairs. In addition, he also successfully designed a liquid crystal phase with short intermolecular programs. Both research results were published in the Journal American Chemical Society in 2008. In 2009, the design of "bicontinuous cubic liquid crystal materials in discoid molecules" was published on the cover of the magazine of American Chemical Society, and he also won the Polymer Chemistry Award of American Chemical Society.

11. Develop earthquake observation technology.


With the joint efforts of Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan Agency of Marine-Earth Science and Technology and Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (JASRI), it is found that the deepest part of the earth’s core is made of iron with hexagonal close-packed structure. The state of metallic iron under ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature conditions is similar to the state of the earth’s core simulated by ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature. Scientists used SPring-8 high-brightness X-ray to observe the changes of single crystal structure of metallic iron, and found for the first time that the hexagonal close-packed structure was stable under extreme conditions of high temperature and high pressure. The analysis of the crystal structure is helpful to the analysis of earthquake observation and greatly strengthens people’s understanding of the formation and development of the core. This achievement was published in the American journal Science on October 15th, 2010.


12. Analyze the gel mechanism of self-assembly from the molecular level.


Recently, a joint research group of The University of Kitakyushu and JARSI announced that the molecular structure of the solvent in the gel state was analyzed on the BL03XU Advanced Soft Materials and BL40B2 Structural Biology II Experimental Station by using SPring-8 high-brightness synchrotron radiation. The research results benefit from organogelator (low molecular weight compound). As long as 1% solvent is added to it, the whole solvent will gel, which will greatly help to prevent environmental pollution caused by offshore oil spill. The paper was published online in the October 2010 issue of Polymer Journal.


Sixth, look forward to the future


The resolution of traditional optical microscope is limited by the wavelength of light, while the wavelength of X-ray is 10,000 times shorter than that of visible light, and the resolution reaches the atomic level, which means that the three-dimensional structure of a single atom in matter can be observed. X-ray is widely used in medical treatment, life science and material science. However, the light generated by X-ray light sources (including synchrotron radiation) is not uniform and the wave fields are inconsistent. Laser can produce uniform light by using a pair of mirrors. This urges scientists to make every effort to explore a new technology to realize a mirrorless laser, that is, XFEL: X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL). XFEL is an X-ray that combines the characteristics of free-electron laser. It is called the most promising new light source in the future with the most scientific exploration and discovery value. It is also called "dream light source" and "new dawn of the scientific era". It has the dual characteristics of laser and radiation light, and can work in the whole X-ray band. It is much better than the third generation synchrotron radiation light source in brightness, coherence and time structure, and is internationally recognized as one of the feasible technical routes of the "fourth generation light source".



The United States, Europe and Japan have successively developed XFEL, and raised it to the height of national strategy to deploy and implement it. LCLS(Linac Coherent Light Source, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, USA), the first X-ray free electron laser device in the world, came out in 2009. The European Free Electron Laser Facility (European XFEL) is jointly participated by DESY of Germany and 11 other European countries. The core project is a 3.4-kilometer underground tunnel, which was officially started on July 1, 2010. It is expected to be completed in 2014 and the first scientific experiment will be conducted in 2015.



SPring-8 has already started the prefabrication and research of XFEL, and the accelerator prototype has successfully produced the first laser beam. In 2006, the XFEL project started. At present, the 700-meter-long 8GeV X-ray free electron laser device is under final construction and is expected to be put into operation in fiscal year 2011. exist

2.XFEL facilities


SPring-8′ s X-rays can produce light 10 billion times brighter than the sun, while XFEL produces light 1 billion times brighter than SPring-8, and the pulse is 1000 times shorter than the existing X-ray source. The higher brightness light source enables scientists to observe the three-dimensional structure of atoms and their ultra-fast motion more realistically.


Design parameters:


Electron beam energy: 8 GeV


Electron beam diameter: 40 um


X-ray wavelength: > 0.06 nm


X-ray peak power: 5 GW


X-ray pulse length: < 100fsec


X-ray peak brightness: 1033 photons/s/mm2/mrad2/0.1% b.w. 。


The original quality of electron beam determines the quality of free electron laser. Scientists have specially designed an ultra-high voltage thermal electron gun, which uses a single-crystal cerium-hexabromoboride cathode (CEB 6) to emit a fine, highly collimated and stable electron beam. Then, it is transported into the electron beam compression system, and the peak current will be strengthened to several thousand amperes.


The electron beam energy is rapidly increased to 8GeV by a C-band linear accelerator, and then transported into a vacuum undulator to generate intense XFEL radiation.

Coherent X-ray imaging technology: Microscopic images of various materials at atomic level can be obtained.



Imaging process: X-ray laser → sample → coherent scattering mode → phase recovery → clear structure image.


XFEL’s ultrashort pulse can detect the ultrafast motion of matter in femtosecond.

The Institute for Molecular Science, Niigata University, Nagoya University and JASRI/RIKEN of the National Research Institute of Japan jointly studied the intense ultraviolet free electron laser irradiated to argon atoms, and successfully analyzed the specific process of multi-electron emission.


In order to accurately measure the fluctuation in free electron laser, scientists analyzed all the electronic energy of argon atom irradiated by laser pulse at the speed of 20 pulses per second. They found that the absorption of electrons and multiphotons only occurs when the light intensity is very high, and clarified the importance of resonance state in multiphoton absorption. The research results show that the research of nano-science, nano-technology and material preparation can be promoted by using X-free electron laser on the basis of selecting appropriate laser wavelength and corresponding resonance conditions. The paper was published in american physical society’s scientific journal Physical Review Express on September 24th, 2010.

How much do you know about these three types of patent rankings?

Text/Li Changfeng Wu Wei China Patent Technology Development Company

In the era of knowledge economy, whether it is the change in the proportion of intangible assets among the 500 companies in the Standard & Poor’s Index of the United States, or the frequent patent wars on smart phones and a large number of patent acquisitions in recent years, it shows that patents have become an important asset of enterprises, a key factor of production, a protagonist of trade, a sharp weapon of competition, and a source of power to drive enterprises to last forever. By comparing and measuring the scale and quality of patent portfolio owned by enterprises, we can clearly and accurately analyze their technical strength, innovation ability and even competitiveness.

The patent strength rankings based on a series of objectively quantified patent statistical indicators, such as the Wall Street Journal Patent Scorecard, the IEEE Patent Strength Scorecard, and the Thomson Reuters Top 100 Innovative Institutions Ranking, provide a common comparison stage for all kinds of innovative entities at the technical level, which will cause great repercussions after each release. For the public, we can learn about the technology leaders and innovation benchmarks in the industry, while for enterprises, the shortlist is an excellent publicity. The following is a brief introduction to the above three categories of leaderboards based on the public information on the Internet.

I. Patent Scorecard of The Wall Street Journal

(1) Introduction

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) publishes the technical strength rankings and stock market data of companies and research institutions in a certain industry in the form of PatentScorecard in the financial & investment column every Tuesday, and the same content is subsequently published in the market data center section of the online website of The Wall Street Journal. The patent scorecard mainly focuses on the patents in an industry, and the statistical indicators involve patent authorization, industrial influence, R&D intensity, technical intensity, scientific intensity, etc., and ranks the institutions in an industry according to technical intensity and scientific intensity, and gives the comparative results of patent strength after comprehensively considering the scale and quality of patent portfolio, and the statistical results are updated every 13 weeks. The patent scorecard covers 18 industries, including aerospace and national defense, automobiles and transportation, biology, chemistry, consumer electronics, personal consumer goods, comprehensive industries, electronic devices, energy and environment, food and beverage and tobacco, heavy industry equipment, industrial parts, raw materials, information technology, medical devices and services, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors and communications. While giving the ranking results of patent portfolio, The Wall Street Journal also correlated the patent scorecard data with Dow Jones financial data, and gave the comparative results of the industrial influence, R&D intensity, patent authorization, stock market and the overall level of an industry.

The data of the patent scorecard of The Wall Street Journal is provided by The Patent Board. The Patent Committee actually belongs to ipIQ Company (ipIQ refers to intellectual property, intelligence quota; Now it is renamed ip IQ Global Company), and its predecessor is CHIresearch. Founded in 1968, CHI has been devoted to the research and analysis of scientific and technological innovation indicators, and has created a series of patent indicators, especially the precedent of statistical analysis of patent citations. CHI’s patent index system is introduced and adopted in the American Science and Engineering Index compiled and published by the National Science Foundation of the United States and the Patent Manual in the OECD series of science and technology index manuals. CHI is an absolute international leader in the field of patent measurement, and the patent scoreboard is its distinctive research achievement and has been registered as a trademark. In November 2004, CHI Company was merged and renamed ipIQ Company.

The patent scorecard was first published in BusinessWeek magazine on August 3rd, 1992. Before 2007, the patent scorecard was published in Businessweek and MIT’s Technology Review every year. Since 2007, The Wall Street Journal and the Patent Committee have become partners and regularly publish patent scorecards in The Wall Street Journal in the form of patent portfolio rankings.

In addition to publishing the ranking results of industrial patent portfolio in cooperation with The Wall Street Journal, the Patent Committee also published The Global Patent Scorecard, The Patent Board 500 Scorecard and the University Scorecard.

(II) Main indicators

Patent scorecard indicators include four aspects and six indicators:

1. Quality: including technical strength and industrial influence indicators. Technical strength is the overall evaluation result of an institution’s patent portfolio strength by combining quantity and quality factors, and it is one of the ranking bases of patent portfolio. Industrial influence refers to the influence of an institution’s patent portfolio on subsequent technological innovation, which is calculated by the cited data of patents.

2. Quantity: The index of patent authorization refers to the number of American patents granted in a certain institution during the statistical period.

3. Science: including indicators of scientific intensity and research intensity. Scientific intensity is used to measure the extent to which enterprises use scientific research results to construct their patent portfolios, and it is also one of the ranking criteria of patent portfolios. Research intensity refers to the number of patents whose scientific relevance is higher than the industry average in an institution’s patent portfolio.

4. Speed: innovation cycle index, which is used to measure the old and new degree of the existing technology on which the patent or patent portfolio is based.

Second, the IEEE patent strength scorecard

(1) Introduction

On October 23rd, 2013, IEEE SPECTRUM published the 2013 IEEE (American Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Patent Power Scorecard. Patent strength scorecard is the result of objective and quantitative analysis of American patents of more than 5000 leading companies, academic institutions, non-profit organizations and government agencies around the world, which involves aerospace and national defense, automobiles and parts, biomedicine, chemistry, communication network equipment, communication network services, computer equipment and storage, computer software, computer systems, comprehensive enterprises, electronic products, government agencies, medical instruments, scientific instruments and semiconductor equipment manufacturing. The patent strength scorecard ranks according to the patent strength index, which comprehensively considers the quantity and quality of the patent portfolio, among which the patent quality is

It is reflected by the indicators related to patent growth, technological influence, technological originality and technological diffusion. As the scale of patent portfolio weighted by quality is adopted as the measurement basis, the technical strength of an institution can be measured as a whole, which is the best barometer to measure the technical R&D and innovation strength of various institutions. The list is published once a year, and the list in 2013 is the seventh release. The 2012 patent strength scorecard list was also published on Forbes website.

The patent strength scorecard is provided by 1790 Analytics. The founder of the company is Dr. Anthony Breitzman, who used to be the vice president of CHI and a world-renowned expert in science and technology assessment. Dr. Anthony Breitzman founded 1790 Analytical Company after he left CHI. Dr Patrick Thomas, head of patent analysis business and Chip D&rsquo, head of business development; Angelo is a former CHI researcher.

(II) Main indicators

The patent strength index in the IEEE patent strength scorecard is a comprehensive index after combining the number of patents and their growth, technical influence, originality and popularity. Its calculation formula is: patent strength index = number of patents × patent growth index × corrected technical influence index × technical originality index × technology diffusion index. Taking the patent strength index in 2012 as an example, the meaning of each parameter is:

1. The number of patents refers to the number of patents granted in the United States in 2012.

2. Patent growth index, which is used to reflect the patent activity of an institution, and then reflect the innovation activity of an institution. The calculation method is: the number of patents granted by an institution in the United States in the latest year (2012) divided by the average number granted each year in the previous five years (2007-2011).

3. The corrected technology impact index reflects the influence of an institution’s patent portfolio on the subsequent technology development. The calculation method is as follows: first, calculate the basic value of the technology impact index, and then correct it according to the self-citation rate (to eliminate the influence of extreme self-citation). The basic value of technology impact index refers to the number of times that all authorized patents of an institution were cited by all authorized patents in the United States in the last year (2012) in the first five years (2007-2011), divided by the average number of times that all authorized patents in the same period and in the same field as the patent portfolio of the institution were cited by all authorized patents in the United States in the last year.

4. The technical originality index reflects the breadth of the patented technology (i.e. cited patents) cited by an institution’s patent portfolio. Generally, improved inventions tend to refer to existing technologies from a single field, while important original inventions tend to combine patented technologies from different fields to form new inventions.

5. The technology diffusion index, also known as the technology popularization index, is similar to the technology originality index, but it reflects the breadth of the patented technology (i.e. cited patents) cited by an institution’s patent portfolio. The greater the technology diffusion index, it means that the patent application of an institution is popular, which has a large impact on the subsequent technological innovation.

Third, Thomson Reuters Global Top 100 Innovative Institutions Ranking

(1) Introduction

Thomson Reuters’s "Top 100 Innovative Institutions in the World" is the ranking result of the most innovative institutions in the world based on a series of patent indicators, which is published by Thomson Reuters Intellectual Property and Technology Division on its website. It has been published once a year since 2011 and has been published three times so far. According to the data of the top 100 innovative institutions in the world in 2013, according to the number of institutions on the list, there are 46 institutions from North America (45 from the United States and 1 from Canada), 32 institutions from Asia (28 from Japan, 3 from South Korea and 1 from Taiwan, China) and 22 institutions from Europe (including 12 from France and 4 from Switzerland). Although China leads the world in the number of patent applications, none of China companies are on the list due to the lack of patent quality and technical influence.

(II) Main indicators

The selection method of Thomson Reuters’s "Top 100 Global Innovation Institutions" is based on four criteria:

1. The total number of patents refers to the number of DWPI(Derwent World Patents Index) basic patents of an institution in recent three years. This basic patent refers to the patent that publicly released a new technology for the first time in the DWPI patent family.

2. The success rate of patent authorization refers to the number of patents published by an institution in the last three years divided by the number of patents authorized in the last three years.

3. The globality of patent portfolio refers to the number of four-party patents owned by an institution. The Quartet refers to China National Intellectual Property Administration, China, the European Patent Office, the Japanese Patent Office and the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

4. Patent influence based on citation refers to the number of times an institution’s patents have been cited by others in recent five years (excluding self-citation).

summary

Comparing the above three rankings comprehensively, the common point is that, while reflecting the scale and activity of innovation through patent quantity data, it is more important to introduce patent quality data such as technical influence, diffusion, originality and globalization to reflect the benefits of innovation, thus truly and reliably reflecting the comprehensive technical strength and innovation ability of enterprises. Patent ranking itself is only a means of comparison and a yardstick to measure innovation output. Its real strength lies in highlighting that innovation is the core factor driving development in the era of knowledge economy. Take the top 100 innovative institutions in the world as an example. For three consecutive years, the listed institutions are better than those involved in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index in various indicators: the annual share price growth is 4% higher, the market value-weighted sales growth rate is 2% higher, and the new job growth rate is 0.81% higher. At the top of the wave, these listed companies are deducing realistic cases of innovation-driven development to the society with objective and detailed data.

Find shopping fun on Taobao

West Solicitation Order: If you are also a shopkeeper who takes Taobao as a career, and you feel that your products or business philosophy are different and willing to share with you, then you are the protagonist of our Taoxiu platform. If you are a buyer who is obsessed with Taobao, you will be flustered if you don’t do it for a day. You have countless experiences about online shopping and want to share them with your sisters and sisters. You are also welcome to come to our Taoxiu platform and show your different style … The exclusive hotlines for shopkeepers and buyers are: 028-86969298 and 86969527.

The first online shopping was fooled.

Perhaps most people will be hit by some "network and reality" more or less when they start to go to Taobao, and Zhang Peng is no exception. In 2005, Zhang Peng, who tried online shopping for the first time, still remembers the failure brought by a hairdo that practiced haircut.

Because I am a hairdresser by profession, I will inevitably add some hairdressing products from time to time. At that time, Zhang Peng began to try to buy some things he needed at work on Taobao. "I spent more than 200 yuan to buy a model head on Taobao to practice hair cutting. I saw that the owner wrote 100% real hair, and the price was cheaper than that in the store. I bought it without hesitation." But when things come to hand, Zhang Peng was a little scared. "When I got it, I found that it was not 100% real hair at all, more than half of it was real hair, and the rest were all artificial fiber fake hair to pretend."

The feeling of being fooled surged up. Zhang Peng immediately contacted the seller and asked for a return, but the other party gave a variety of excuses, and Zhang Penglai was required to bear the freight. Zhang Peng said angrily, "The first time I encountered such a thing, it was simply a blow, and I suddenly lost confidence in online shopping."

Online shopping again to regain confidence

After the first failure, Zhang Peng didn’t go online shopping for about a year. However, when I open my own shop, I am busy with work and many things, and I often can’t leave, so the purchase of hairdressing supplies consumed in the shop becomes a problem. It happened that Zhang Peng had a friend who was a Taobao maniac, and he often saw that he was very happy to buy on Taobao, and the things he basically bought were very good. Zhang Peng once again became interested in Taobao. "I saw that what others bought was good, so I thought, maybe I don’t have enough experience, and there are so many sellers, there will be conscientious sellers after all."

With the mentality of taking a chance, Zhang Peng started online shopping again. "Although I have rekindled my interest in Taobao, I am still very cautious. After all, the first lesson is too profound." This time, Zhang Peng no longer just looked at the price, pictures and descriptions of the goods blindly, but also talked with the shopkeeper about the products to judge the authenticity of the goods. Sure enough, the success rate of the things he bought later increased every time, and he regained his confidence in Taobao.

Accumulate experience to save time and money.

Shopping on Taobao is an absolute good way to save time and money, and it is the same for Zhang Peng. "I need this way of shopping, I can buy things without going out to the mall, and I can shop around." Zhang Peng mentioned that he was able to buy good things later, which had a lot to do with his accumulated Taobao shopping experience. It was worthwhile for him to be cautious from the original lessons.

Seeing that he has bought goods with guaranteed quality every time, Zhang Pengquan owes it to his own experience. Speaking of this, he is gushing. "Generally, when I look at a product, I will call the merchant. First, chat, because when chatting, you will feel that the shopkeeper is professional or unprofessional. Some shopkeepers don’t even know what brand of shampoo they sell. Do you dare to buy his goods? " Zhang Peng stressed, "In fact, I don’t like some big shops very much, because for me, what I need is speed and accuracy. Some big shops are customer service staff to answer your questions and submit orders." And Zhang Peng himself prefers some slightly smaller shops, which generally don’t press the goods, and the service attitude is good. The most important thing is that the owner communicates directly with himself, so that it is guaranteed to buy, and his heart is also more comfortable.

Go up and down for fun when you are free.

Not long ago, Zhang Peng opened a new studio of its own. Although it is not big, the business is good, and it is busy late almost every day. It can be said that work and life are full of flavor. "Work has never been idle, so Taobao has never stopped over the years. Once I have time, I will go to Taobao to pay attention to some new shops and find some good and cheap goods. " Zhang Peng said that although he doesn’t buy these goods every day, many customers feel good after using them every time, and he often buys them for customers to share with them.

Recently, Zhang Peng began to find some sellers in Chengdu on Taobao. "After seeing several shops in Chengdu, you can get the goods directly, which is absolutely guaranteed in quality, more convenient and more reassuring. After all, you can see the real thing yourself without express delivery, which also saves a sum of money." In addition to buying some hairdressing products, Zhang Peng also buys some daily necessities and clothes on Taobao. After seeing the real thing in the shopping mall, she will try the size before buying it on Taobao. He also feels that Taobao has brought convenience to him, and he has also found the pleasure of shopping on Taobao.

Everyone talks about the economy | Let the "new individual economy" inject more power into high-quality development

Talk about the economy

  Author: Professor Wang Kuancheng from Peking University. Chen Chunhua,Researcher, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Institute of Thought, Supreme Leader of Peking University, New Era Yin jun

  In recent years, the "new individual economy" has entered the public eye and gained extensive attention. Previously, the National Development and Reform Commission and other 13 departments jointly issued the Opinions on Supporting the Healthy Development of New Business Forms and Models, Activating the Consumer Market and Promoting the Employment Expansion, which mentioned for the first time "encouraging the development of new individual economy and opening up new space for consumption and employment" to help the new economy and new business forms develop further. The new individual economy is an innovative combination of "internet plus individual economy". Compared with the traditional individual economy, it has great innovations in technology, mode, market and employment. Under the situation of epidemic normalization prevention and control, the new individual economy is not only a response to economic recovery, but also an important way to "ensure six guarantees and six stabilities", enhance economic development momentum and stimulate market innovation vitality. Therefore, we should further increase policy support for the new individual economy, improve relevant laws and regulations, create a good atmosphere for mass entrepreneurship and innovation, and inject greater vitality and power into the high-quality economic development of China.

  Where is the new individual economy "new"

  At present, the new individual economy is in a period of vigorous development, which has not only spawned various new economic formats and new business models, but also greatly changed the original market structure, market demand and employment methods, showing many "new" characteristics.

  New technology: the development opportunity in the digital age. The primary feature of new individual economy is "internet plus", which has the characteristics of digital economy at first. The use of digital technology is the basic attribute of the new individual economy. The traditional logic of individual economy development is the logic of competition, that is, it is either one or the other, and the individual economy succeeds by winning limited opponents around it. In the digital age, the development logic of the new individual economy has changed. Everything is interconnected and interdependent, and the new individual economy has been facing a dynamic, complex and rapidly changing environment. The practitioners of the new individual economy cannot cope with environmental changes and promote development by their own strength, so they need to develop together with ecological partners, that is, follow the symbiotic logic to achieve symbiosis, sharing and common prosperity.

  The new "mode": the manifestation of mass entrepreneurship and innovation. The new individual economy has moved the traditional individual economy to the Internet, and its business model has changed from the original "individual economy to consumers" to "Internet platform+individual economy to consumers". The biggest feature of the new individual economy business model is the empowerment of Internet platforms, which include both social media platforms and various e-commerce platforms. These Internet platforms have huge online traffic. With the empowerment of the platform, every individual industrial and commercial household can apply to become a new individual economic practitioner and become a virtual shop owner based on the platform, which can quickly reach all kinds of consumers, quickly gain consumers’ cognition, shorten consumers’ decision-making time, and extremely reduce the transaction and communication costs between the supply and demand sides, thus realizing fast transactions. In addition, with the support of big data technology, the platform can also provide more customized market and consumer information for new individual economic practitioners, help new individual economic practitioners to better understand the market and consumer needs, and provide consumers with more personalized products and services to enhance their business performance.

  New Market: A Great Opportunity for Economic Recovery. The traditional individual economy is mainly aimed at the offline market, and most of them are oriented to local areas. The new individual economy relies on the Internet platform, not only for the traditional offline market, but also for the internet of everything and the infinitely vast online market. The consumers who serve are no longer limited to one street, one lane, one city and one town, but for the whole country and even the whole world. Therefore, great changes have taken place in both market structure and market demand, which also provides an incomparably broad platform and opportunity for the development of new individual economy. At the same time, the rapid development and convenience of the new individual economy have also cultivated new consumption habits in the market. Online consumption and online office have become the first choice of more and more consumers.

  New employment: an important guarantee for stable employment. The innovation of the new individual economy is that it has broken through the "company+employee" model of the traditional individual economy and changed into a new model of "platform+individual". For example, entrepreneurs in the new individual economy have realized a new mode of self-employment with the help of various resources on the platform. For the employees of the new individual economy, this model also gives them higher autonomy, and they can work without time and space restrictions, and they can freely choose their employers and working hours, thus attracting the attention of many employees, especially young employees. In addition, as a link between new individual economic practitioners and resources, the platform has also spawned many new ways of employment. Since the outbreak of the epidemic in COVID-19, many jobs have been greatly impacted, but the employment of the new individual economy has soared against the trend, which has contributed an important force to stabilizing employment and boosting the economy.

  How better?Promote the healthy development of new individual economy

  Implement the policy of "combination boxing" and increase support for the new individual economy. The first is to further reduce the entry threshold, start-up cost and operating cost of the new individual economy, especially the platform use service fee and financing cost of the new individual economy. The government can guide financial institutions to provide more favorable and convenient financing policies for the new individual economy, or give the new individual economy corresponding entrepreneurial subsidies or interest-free loans. At the same time, it can issue industry guidance on the benefit distribution of Internet platforms, guide Internet platform enterprises to reduce the platform service fees of practitioners, and attract more individual operators to start businesses online.

  The second is to create a social atmosphere that supports the development of new individual economy. For example, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other departments officially released a new professional directory to the society, including "blockchain engineering technicians" and "Internet marketers", and added formal jobs such as "live salesmen", "e-commerce anchors" and "online celebrity with goods" under the occupation of "Internet marketers"; The Ministry of Education classifies the opening of online stores as "self-employment" and the bloggers and e-sports workers in WeChat official account as "freelancing". For another example, some areas have formulated targeted support policies for the new individual economy by establishing and improving relevant statistical monitoring systems, including policies such as deferring or exempting social security fees for new individual economy practitioners, or extending the existing employment policies and entrepreneurship support policies for the real economy to the new individual economy to support the development of the new individual economy.

  Due to the rapid development of the new individual economy, many new formats and new models will emerge in practice. At the policy support level, we should adhere to the development concept of keeping pace with the times, formulate relevant measures according to the characteristics of the new individual economy, provide better services for the new individual economy with "Internet+government services", or provide more high-quality public products for the new individual economy with platform enterprises. In addition, in policy making, we should reserve enough flexible space for the innovation and entrepreneurship of the new individual economy, and we should not bind the hands and feet of the new individual economy to expand its operations and innovate ways.

  We will speed up the improvement of the system of laws and regulations and effectively protect the rights of all kinds of subjects. First, we should improve the laws and regulations to protect the rights of new self-employed workers, especially the policies on labor rights protection, salary and welfare, and social security for flexible employees, and explore the rights protection and social security policies to adapt to cross-platform and multi-employer flexible employment, so as to relieve the worries of new self-employed workers. Especially in terms of employment, training, rights protection and other policy standards and institutional norms, we should be as consistent as possible with the practitioners of the traditional individual economy, and pay attention to ensuring the rest rights and occupational safety of the new individual economy practitioners.

  Secondly, scientifically formulate the supervision system of the industry to protect the legitimate rights of consumers. Cooperate with industry associations and platform enterprises to formulate industry standards. In addition, it is necessary to formulate the management measures for the new individual economy, and make it clear in terms of business varieties, rights protection mechanism, honest management and after-sales service to protect consumers’ legitimate rights.

  Carry forward entrepreneurship and create a good atmosphere for mass entrepreneurship and innovation. Carrying forward the entrepreneurial spirit is the fundamental measure to promote the long-term development of the new individual economy from the perspective of the healthy development of the new individual economy. It is necessary to carry forward the entrepreneurial spirit of patriotism, innovation, honesty, courage to shoulder social responsibilities and expand international horizons in society, oppose the impetuous atmosphere of pursuing short and quick, and create a good atmosphere for mass entrepreneurship and innovation.

  It is necessary to guide new individual economic practitioners to pay attention to the trend of national strategic development and technological progress, make good use of policies, conform to the trend, and realize the same frequency resonance between individuals and national economic and social development. It is necessary to guide new individual economic practitioners to break the inertia of thinking, maintain the attitude of lifelong learning, be explorers, organizers and leaders of innovation and development, and be brave in promoting production innovation, technological innovation, market innovation and management innovation. It is necessary to guide the new individual economic practitioners to be honest and law-abiding, enhance the awareness of the rule of law, the spirit of contract, and the concept of keeping contracts, and set an example of honesty and law-abiding. To guide the new individual economic practitioners to shoulder social responsibilities, in the process of economic and social development, in the struggle to prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic, and play an important role in the work of "six guarantees and six stabilities". Finally, we should guide the new individual economic practitioners to broaden their international horizons, seize the opportunity of opening up to the outside world, and achieve greater achievements on the global stage.

Dragon Boat Festival, an ancient rhyme and a new sound, is deeply rooted in the feelings of home and country and hopes for well-being.

On June 3rd, CCTV Comprehensive Channel of the Central Radio and Television General Station launched a large-scale cultural series "Ancient Rhyme and New Sounds" Dragon Boat Festival program, which commemorated the poet Qu Yuan with a strong humanistic color and praised his ardent feelings for home and country and noble character. Based on Chinese’s careful observation of nature, we should observe the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival to get rid of summer heat and epidemic prevention, pray for well-being, get close to green mountains and green waters and enjoy the summer scenery. We also "live" with cultural relics, and creatively interpret precious cultural relics stories such as Qu Zixing’s Yin Tu by Chen Hongshou in the Ming Dynasty, Golden Dragon Walking in the Tang Dynasty, Jinming Pool’s Bid Map by Zhang Zeduan in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Children’s Fight Sketch by Jin Tingbiao in the Qing Dynasty, so as to trace back to the roots of the nation and build up cultural self-confidence.

First, art outlines Qu Yuan’s pure heart and promotes patriotism.In the Tang poetry, it is said that "the festival is divided into the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is rumored to be Qu Yuan through the ages." Chinese remembered Qu Yuan from generation to generation and linked the Dragon Boat Festival with him, which shows people’s deep affection for him. The opening of the Dragon Boat Festival program "Canglang Journey" is based on Qu Yuan’s work "Chuci Fisherman" during his exile in northern Han Dynasty, praising Qu Yuan’s noble ambition and unswerving feelings of home and country. Through the clever use of visual technology, the scene of Qu Yuan’s singing on the banks of the river is artistically presented, creating a rich scene of surging water and rising sun on the banks of the river in Chu, showing Qu Yuan’s childlike heart as surging as surging waves and his noble character as clear and bright as the sky. The program is ingenious, introducing cultural relics as a carrier, and excavating the deep meaning of Qu Yuan, the embodiment of patriotism depicted in cultural relics through interviews between hosts and experts. The cultural relics involved include Qu Zi Xing Yin Tu by Chen Hongshou in Ming Dynasty and Qu Yuan Tu by modern Fu Baoshi. Guided by precious cultural relics, combined with careful creation and interviews with rich knowledge points, it highlights the thick core of traditional culture that really touches the hearts of the audience. In addition, the program "Going Home" deduces the dialogue across time and space, skillfully connecting the classic poems of Qu Yuan and Yu Guangzhong as the core, symbolizing the spread of the context and the inheritance of the feelings of home and country. In the program "Searching Up and Down", the singer and hundreds of students sang together "The road is long and Xiu Yuan is Xi, I will search up and down", with a magnificent momentum and lingering sound. These programs are full of eagerness to lead the audience to explore the deepest part of the human spirit.Mark a spiritual height for our nation, so as to be more clear about our attitude and value in life, carry forward the feelings of home and country, and gather the great power of national rejuvenation.

Second, the panorama presents the connotation of the Dragon Boat Festival and builds cultural self-confidence.The program has deeply explored many customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, which are diverse and colorful. For example, "Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, flying dragons in the sky" has placed people’s good wishes to welcome good fortune. The program was superimposed from "Kowloon Map" to the scene. Nine dancers showed nine images of dragons with different personalities and states one by one. Finally, all the dancers gathered into a dragon, showing the majestic momentum of "the dragon is in the sky" and expressing the Chinese nation’s worship of the dragon totem and the spiritual temperament of "self-improvement". The Song of the Race is based on Liu Yuxi’s poems, and the picture of a hundred races in Zhang Zeduan’s "The Race for the Bid in Jinming Pool" is deduced. The Dragon Boat Festival presents fans with beautiful meanings, such as encouraging benevolence. Fan Dancing Benevolence is interpreted by telling the story of "Xie An presents fans" by famous people in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Casting swords at the Dragon Boat Festival is a folk custom, and the double sword dance "Soul of Sword" uses Gu Jian, a state of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period &mdash; &mdash; Shao Yunjian and Cao Zhi’s Miscellaneous Poems, Guo Zhen’s Gu Jian/Sword Pieces, etc., interpret the artistic conception of "the sword front comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold". Wearing five-color silk thread to ward off evil spirits during the Dragon Boat Festival has a beautiful meaning of praying for Naji, and the dance acrobatic "Five-color wisp" has activated this custom. The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the "Orchid Bathing Festival", specially designed the song "Lan Cao" to show the love of ancient and modern literati for orchids and the noble character represented by orchids. Fisherman’s prideLiu Hua in May is enchanting and baking, which is created according to Ouyang Xiu’s masterpiece in the Song Dynasty, and designed visually according to the ancient painting Duanyang Story Map by Xu Yang, a painter in the Qing Dynasty, showing the colorful scenes of the ancients watching the race, hanging Ai people and wrapping corn during the Dragon Boat Festival. During the discussion, the guests of the program also listed the stories of ancient epidemic prevention and disease drive, such as hanging wormwood, killing five poisons and drinking realgar wine, and discussed the national psychology of the ancients praying for well-being during the Dragon Boat Festival. All these can be called a unique journey to trace the roots of the nation. Relying on ancient books, ancient paintings, poems, intangible cultural heritage and other elements, the program deeply digs into the folk customs, history and culture during the Dragon Boat Festival, presenting the double meanings of both humanity and nature in a panoramic way, which once brought cultural infiltration with ideological and artistic features.

The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a cold wave blue warning on the morning of the 2 nd, which is also the first cold wave warning in the second half of this year.

Because the early temperature in most parts of the central and eastern regions is obviously higher than normal, and there has been a large range of high temperature weather in the south since September 30 and will continue until the 4 th, the highest temperature in many stations has exceeded the historical extreme value in the same period; Affected by this strong cold air, several provinces will experience severe cooling. The specific weather forecast is as follows:

Cooling and minimum temperature forecastIt is estimated that the temperature will generally drop by 8 ~ 12℃ in most parts of central and eastern China from 14: 00 on October 2 to 20: 00 on October 6, and the temperature will drop by 12 ~ 16℃ in central and eastern Inner Mongolia, northeast China, most of Shaanxi, southwestern Shanxi, Henan, southern Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, northern Hunan, northwestern Jiangxi and northern Zhejiang, and in central Inner Mongolia, eastern Heilongjiang, eastern Jilin and other places.

Test drive Geely Xingrui: It’s only a pony, and it’s a thousand miles away.

"No name, no money, only this volume, green for thousands of years, mountains and rivers without hate", a peerless work thousands of years ago, a stunning scene in the dance, still can not satisfy everyone’s persistent love for "only this green". This year, the listing of Xingrui’s "only this green" model has satisfied the Chinese aesthetics in everyone’s travel, and this is the only one that can travel thousands of miles.

It has been a thousand years since it was published, and it has occupied a decisive position in the art history of China. Many stars are alone in the moon, and Xingrui’s "only this green" model went on the market, which undoubtedly consolidated its IP as "the subversive of China family car". Only this turquoise version of the car combines the dance "Only this turquoise", fully draws the aesthetic inspiration of "turquoise", and takes the design inspiration of turquoise rock color and artistic conception as the design inspiration, and refines the design concept of "Only this turquoise" which combines modern technology and traditional culture.

It is not simple to look at the color of cars alone. Da Zhongguang, a painter in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, said in his painting theory "Painting Sasakawa": The color of green is thick, but if it is used, it will be dull; The color of ochre is light, but if it is set indiscriminately, it will be covered with ink. The color of turquoise is very mysterious in China’s aesthetics. This time, Xingrui Automobile adopts this color, which shows that it is full of sincerity to the public and strives to create the most meaningful oriental aesthetics for consumers.

A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains is a typical representative work of China’s ancient freehand brushwork landscape painting. It is completely composed of lines and brushwork, only black and white landscapes, only green and green colors. Why can nature be simplified from complexity to simplicity, and from simplicity to complexity, showing the feeling of misty clouds in the south of the Yangtze River and the scenery of mountains and rivers in the north, showing the majestic and endless momentum, which is quite a fairyland-like artistic conception? The ink book is colorless, drawing five colors, and the painter’s "meaning" is clearly hidden in the landscape. People and things are interlinked, and things are in harmony with me, which is the highest state of China’s aesthetics of "harmony between man and nature".

Xingrui only inherits this feature of painting directly, and brings the majestic weather of Qifeng Daling with the appearance of stone, bluestone and green; Adopt a brand-new green waterfall front grille, bringing thousands of valleys and thunder; Coupled with the combination of the black exterior kit, the stunning suspended tail wing and the dynamic energy four-out tail row, the driver really feels the oriental meaning hidden in it-sitting in the car, walking on the road, looking for stones to listen to sounds, showing up in paintings, isolating from the noise of the world and enjoying the spiritual paradise.

There are "mountains and rivers" outside and "Gankun" inside. Laozi said "Great Voices and Good Voices", Zhuangzi said "Great Beauty without Words", and Xingrui 2023 was even more understated and luxurious in the interior design details of "Only this turquoise version", achieving great beauty without words. This time, Xingrui uses a large area of Alcantara high-grade suede material, even if it is a new car, it has no odor. It uses indigo embossed stitching to shuttle through various details such as seats and door panels, with the unique logo of "Only this turquoise" and the stunning embellishment of 3D streamer laser carving of turquoise waist, which highlights the luxury style of fashion trends and echoes the appearance, and then matches the brand-new cloud-feeling interactive intelligent cockpit and leisurely luxury seats, making everything within reach and sight elegant.

In terms of space, Xingrui 2023 still maintains the leading 2800mm long wheelbase and 1869mm ultra-wide body at the same level. This spacious space gives people a sense of comfort and atmosphere, and it is like driving in the mountains and rivers. In addition, BOSE advanced audio system, world-class car fragrance system, dual 12.3-inch high-definition LCD screen and 7.5-inch full-color HUD head-up display, etc., provide passengers with the most flexible and luxurious ride experience.

However, Geely has never made "embroidered pillows", and it pays more attention to the superior performance of cars. As far as the experience is concerned, the fluency of operation and the functionality are very easy to use, and the speed of speech recognition and the mass of resources are also remarkable, which can basically be described as silky. It is no exaggeration to say that it is not lost to the new car-making model known as the car machine system, and even better than it. It is equipped with a new generation of E02 high-performance chips, with 12nm high-precision manufacturing technology and 8-core CPU computing power, plus the highly acclaimed Galaxy OS system as standard in the whole system, as well as the industry-renowned Huawei HICAR, online real-time navigation, OTA online upgrade and other practical functions, creating an intelligent interactive travel life, which can be said to fully empower young people’s smart connected car life.

In terms of intelligent driving, it is particularly noteworthy that the LKA lane keeping assist system on the new car has added the ELKA emergency lane assist function, which has a wider recognition angle, and can realize that when the car deviates from the lane or collides with the adjacent lane targets during driving, the steering wheel will actively apply torque and automatically correct the deviation, bringing smarter and safer driving experience to users. At the same time, the intelligent technology configuration of Xingrui 2023, which is only the green version, is also the ceiling level of the same level. To put it simply, some common functions, such as automatic air conditioning, multi-function steering wheel, car networking, etc., are all routine operations, and they include L2 intelligent driving assistance system, God’s Eye 540 transparent chassis, APA automatic parking system, RPA remote automatic parking system, AQS air quality management system, negative ion purifier and other leading technology configurations at the same level, which makes Xingrui 2023 always stand at the top of the pyramid of the same class.

In terms of power, Xingrui 2023 continues the powerful performance and extreme maneuverability given by CMA architecture. The whole system is equipped with a 2.0TD turbocharged engine, which is unique in its class. With a peak power of 140kW and a peak torque of 300N·m, the acceleration of 100 km is only 7.9S, and it is matched with the efficient wet 7DCT powershift, so you don’t have to worry about running in urban areas and high-speed sections.

Its fuel consumption is even more surprising. A long-distance driving with a mileage of nearly 120 kilometers passed through congested roads in urban areas, viaducts driving at turtle speed and slightly congested highways. When four people were fully loaded and the third cold wind was turned on, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers was only 7.9L/100km.

There was a saying on the stage of the dance poetic drama "Only this green": If you can tolerate hills and valleys in your heart, you can only meet mountains and rivers when you write. Only this turquoise model is undoubtedly the landscape of mountains and rivers drawn by Geely after precipitation. This time, the launch of Xingrui 2023 is not only a confident fusion of modern science and technology and traditional culture in China, but also a fusion and collision of smart travel and culture and art. It is believed that in the future, as the high-end series of Geely brand CMA "China Star Flagship Family Car", Xingrui can continue to lead the "Star" era of China Family Car and bring users a subversive new experience of intelligent driving beyond expectations.

  After many years’ absence, the Supreme Leader General Secretary returned to Liangjiahe Village, Yanchuan County, Shaanxi Province, and came to this yellow land. Spring back to northern Shaanxi, the general secretary walked and talked with the villagers. The villagers’ faces are filled with happiness and excitement.

  From the educated youth to the people’s leaders, the supreme leader has always been soul mates with the villagers of Liangjiahe: he recognized the villager Wang Xianjun at a glance, called his nickname and said, "Yinger, you are old"; He remembered that Lv Housheng, the landlord who jumped the queue, had installed a prosthetic leg because of a leg disease. As soon as he met, he asked him if the prosthetic leg was working, how was his life, and told him to take care of himself. At noon, together with the villagers’ representatives, he had a simple farmhouse meal &hellip; &hellip;

  "How many acres of land are there at home, what are you planting, and what is the harvest?" When the needy people got married in Xu Hai, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, together with the villagers, calculated the income and expenditure accounts for one year one by one and summed up the poverty alleviation plan for the coming year. It is snowy outside, dripping into ice, and it is as warm as spring in Xu Hai’s small living room.

  In Xu Wanjia, a villager, the general secretary also walked into his kitchen, opened the lid and saw steaming steamed buns inside. In other people’s homes in the village, the general secretary should see how they eat and drink at home, whether the fire kang is warm or not, and look carefully and ask clearly from the granary and cowshed to the kitchen and bedroom.

  What I am talking about is a common thing, I am reading a small account book, and what I miss in my heart is the solemn commitment to lead all the people to get rid of poverty and run a well-off society as soon as possible.

  In 2018, the poor household in Sanhe Village, Daliangshan was still very poor: the courtyard wall made of soil was covered with cracks, and it was difficult to illuminate the whole room with incandescent lamps hanging down in a simple and dim room. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader bent down, opened the mattress with concern and touched the quilt to see if it was thick enough. I looked up and saw the bacon hanging on the beams, and asked about the food and clothing at home.

  "The general secretary is as amiable as an elder visiting relatives. He holds my hand and is very warm." The scene at that time, Ji Hao also asked for it. Now, Ji Hao has moved into a new house, and through breeding, the per capita net income of the whole family exceeds 10 thousand yuan a year.

  Living in a new house, running an industry, starting a new life, and the changes in life that are both auspicious and desirable are the epitome of the people who are absolutely out of poverty in Qian Qian.

  "The people’s beautiful life, a nation, a family, and a person can’t be less." In order to fulfill this solemn promise, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has gone through 14 concentrated contiguous destitute areas and gone deep into more than 20 poverty-stricken villages.

  February 3 to 5, 2021, Guizhou

  Near the Spring Festival, the Heli Huimin Fresh Supermarket in Guanshanhu District of Guiyang City is decorated with lanterns and colorful shelves. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came here specially to inspect the market supply, new year’s goods supply and marketing, and price operation before the Spring Festival. He looked carefully all the way, asked in detail about the price, whether the new year’s goods were ready, and what difficulties were there during the New Year, and extended his best wishes to everyone.

  Holiday supply has always been the "special concern" of General Secretary Supreme Leader’s Spring Festival inspection. Especially in 2021, under the background of the normalization of epidemic prevention and control and the promotion of local New Year, the consumer demand of residents increased, and the supply guarantee of "vegetable basket", "rice bag" and "fruit plate" on the shelves was not only related to the concentration of annual flavor, but also related to the stability of people’s hearts.

  A farmer connected to the fields and a citizen connected to thousands of families. Visiting supermarkets and investigating market supply are vivid footnotes of the people’s livelihood concerns of the Supreme Leader General Secretary.

  I will read the worries of the people; I will do what the people expect.

  "Whether it can really benefit the masses depends on the reputation of the people." The general secretary’s words are simple and warm.
