The "tug-of-war" of "out-of-control Mercedes-Benz" tracking Mercedes-Benz and its owners has just begun?

  Cctv news: Let’s look at the "Out of Control Mercedes" incident tracking. Last week, the news channel broadcast an investigation into the "out-of-control Mercedes-Benz" incident for two consecutive days. Last night, Mercedes-Benz sent a briefing to CCTV. In the explanation, Mercedes-Benz announced the preliminary analysis results of the vehicle for the first time, and preliminarily judged that the cruise control system and driving system of the vehicle were operating normally that night, and said that it was communicating with the owner Mr. Xue for the next vehicle inspection.

  This "Further Information on Mr. Xue’s Car Experience" mentioned that the existing technical information of relevant vehicles, including the information obtained remotely from the vehicle that night, showed that the relevant systems were operating normally on the night of the incident, including the constant speed cruise and braking system that everyone was concerned about.

  Mercedes-Benz said that the cruise control system is a part of the vehicle electronic system, which can be cancelled in many ways, and its running status can be continuously monitored in real time by several corresponding control units. If the electronic control system fails, the corresponding control unit will store the fault code. In addition, the vehicle can be slowed down and stopped by hydraulic and mechanical braking systems at any time; When driving at high speed, it is a wrong and dangerous operation for the driver to try to slow down by opening and closing the door and unfastening the seat belt. It is extremely rare that multiple systems of a vehicle fail at the same time, and once it occurs, it will not be able to continue long-distance travel.

  Based on this information, Mercedes-Benz initially judged that the cruise control system and driving system of the vehicle were operating normally that night.

  Mercedes-Benz: The vehicle will be inspected by a third party.

  At the same time, Mercedes-Benz said that this is only an inference based on the relevant information available at present, and only by directly testing the vehicle itself can we know the real situation of the vehicle. At the same time, it is mentioned in this fact sheet that both parties have initially agreed to have the vehicle tested by a third-party neutral organization.

  Owner: At present, the vehicle is sealed and I hope to test it as soon as possible.

  Mr. Xue, the owner of the vehicle, said that due to the current vehicle storage, there is no scooter, and work and life are affected. He hopes to test the vehicle as soon as possible.

  Mr. Xue, the ownerMy car was sealed, so I can’t use it. At first, the 4S shop provided me with a scooter. Now, I used it for three days and took it back. He said that if it didn’t enter the normal testing stage, he couldn’t provide me with a scooter. The family needs a car in life, so it’s inconvenient to go anywhere now. Because of this, I can’t settle down to work. So my request is to test this car as soon as possible, so that I can return to a normal life and work environment.

The State Council issued the "Implementation Opinions on Supporting Export Products to Domestic Sales", and foreign trade enterprises have policy support to explore the domestic market.

The COVID-19 epidemic has brought a serious impact on the global economy, and the external demand has shrunk, and part of China’s foreign trade capacity has turned to the domestic market. Due to the different domestic and foreign trade market environment, foreign trade enterprises face some specific difficulties in expanding the domestic market. To this end, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Implementation Opinions on Supporting Export Products to Domestic Sales" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions") on June 22, which clearly pointed out that while encouraging enterprises to expand the international market, they should support marketable export products to open up the domestic market, make efforts to help foreign trade enterprises tide over the difficulties and promote the basic stability of foreign trade.

"Products that sell well abroad may not sell well in the domestic market. Foreign trade enterprises should have a systematic expansion to expand the domestic market. Self-adjustment according to the demand characteristics of the domestic market. " Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said in an interview with the Economic Daily reporter that in response to such problems, the Opinions clearly need to accurately meet consumer demand. Guide foreign trade enterprises to accurately meet the needs of consumption upgrading in the domestic market, give play to the advantages of quality, research and development, apply technologies such as big data and industrial internet, and develop marketable domestic products through personalized customization and flexible production.

As early as April this year, the Ministry of Commerce proposed to help foreign trade enterprises expand the domestic market while paying close attention to the implementation of a series of measures to stabilize foreign trade. Judging from the situation in April and May, policies and measures such as exporting to domestic sales have played a role in helping foreign trade enterprises tide over the difficulties.

This year’s "Government Work Report" proposes to support enterprises to increase orders, stabilize jobs and ensure employment, increase credit supply, expand the coverage of export credit insurance, reduce import and export compliance costs, and support export products to be sold domestically.

Since then, the the State Council executive meeting held on June 9 deployed support for marketable export commodities to explore the domestic market and help foreign trade enterprises tide over the difficulties.

Through combing, it can be found that the promulgation of the Opinions is highly targeted, which not only takes into account the difficulties faced by foreign trade enterprises in the previous stage, but also lays the foundation for the next step of "stabilizing foreign trade". The "Opinions" also particularly emphasizes that it is necessary to "implement local territorial responsibilities, promote the transfer of export products to domestic sales according to local conditions, and focus on helping foreign trade enterprises and small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in the supply chain of important industrial chains in the region."

For this "opinion", it is proposed to build a platform for domestic sales. Bai Ming said that foreign trade enterprises are encouraged to connect with e-commerce platforms and set up foreign trade product zones based on various online shopping festivals. Under the premise of meeting the requirements of domestic epidemic prevention and control, guide the main pedestrian streets to organize special activities to transfer export products to domestic sales. Organize large commercial enterprises and foreign trade enterprises around the country to carry out direct purchase orders, and set up special sales areas and counters for foreign trade products. Organize domestic buyers to purchase foreign trade products at China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) and China Processing Trade Products Expo. Through various channels, the government can build some platforms for exporting to domestic sales, so as to help foreign trade enterprises connect with domestic customers more effectively.

At the same time, the "Opinions" put forward that it is necessary to improve the level of facilitation of domestic sales. For processing trade enterprises that meet the requirements and can go through the tax collection procedures for domestic sales in a centralized way, they shall report before the 15th of each month, and adjust to report within 15 days after the end of each quarter at the latest, provided that the validity period of their books (accounts) or the deadline for verification is not exceeded. "This reflects the tax support for foreign trade enterprises to switch to the domestic market." Bai Ming said.

At the same time, the "Opinions" put forward that it is necessary to support export products to enter the domestic market and speed up the market access for domestic sales. Before the end of 2020, if the export products produced according to the standards of export destination countries and the relevant standards and technical indicators meet the requirements of China’s mandatory standards are transferred to domestic sales due to the epidemic situation, enterprises are allowed to make relevant written commitments and sell them through self-compliance statements.

In addition, support enterprises to develop products with the same line, standard and homogeneity, that is, to produce products that can be exported and sold domestically on the same production line according to the same standards and quality requirements, so as to help enterprises reduce costs and realize the transformation of domestic and foreign sales. It is necessary to give play to the role of effective investment. Focus on the needs of new infrastructure, new urbanization and major engineering construction in various places, and organize the docking of a number of qualified export products for domestic sales. Guide foreign trade enterprises to actively complement and strengthen the chain, promote the coordinated innovation of the industrial chain and the adjustment of industrial structure, intensify the upgrading of technology and technology, and participate in the construction of major projects in the industrial and communications industries.

Where is the boundary of the "only art NFT" applet banned by Tencent’s digital collection service?

Cailian | Blockchain Daily (Beijing, reporter Dong Yujia) News,On February 21st, the WeChat applet named "Unique Art NFT" was banned by Tencent because the "digital collection" service actually provided by the applet belongs to the service category that has not yet been opened.

NFT, regarded as a part of the meta-universe, has been extremely popular since 2021. In China, Ali, Tencent, JD.COM and other Internet giants have tried this field and launched digital collection platforms one after another.

Earlier, there were market rumors that the government regulatory authorities had issued regulatory requirements for NFT or digital collections. The reporter of "Blockchain Daily" has not been confirmed by relevant departments. However, in October last year, Tencent’s "Magic Core" and the ant chain "Whale Detective" completely deleted the NFT words in the platform and changed them into digital collections.

At present, how does the digital collection business operate legally and legally in China? Where is the service boundary? These are all industrial problems that need to be solved urgently.

The deal is still going on

On February 21, the only art platform issued an official announcement that Tencent had banned the official small program of the only art that day. "The only art accepted this regulatory behavior and made efforts to rectify it."

It is reported that the applet violates the Common Rejection Situation 1.2 of the WeChat applet platform operation specification, and the "digital collection" service actually provided by the applet belongs to the service category that has not yet been opened.

The announcement also pointed out that the only art learned from Tencent that the digital collection is the WeChat applet and the unopened field of WeChat payment. Therefore, the only art will be temporarily removed from the official applet, and will be put back on the shelves after the official opening of WeChat.

The name of the small program is "the only art NFT". Some insiders analyzed to the reporter of Blockchain Daily that it may be the word "NFT" that caused its violation. The source said, "In China, the word digital collection can appear on trading platforms, but it can’t be said that NFT, but now all platforms are more cautious about digital collections."

However, it is also a digital collection platform for visual arts, and vision china’s "Meta Vision" applet can still be used normally. At 12 noon on February 22, its new digital collection "The Passage of Culture" was officially put on sale. Before the sale, the staff of the platform shared the WeChat applet and Meta Vision official website in the official group.

At the end of the group message, it is also mentioned that "WeChat applet supports WeChat payment, and the website supports Alipay payment and WeChat payment".

On the other hand, the reporter checked the account information of "Unique Art NFT" and found that the main body of this small program "Weiyi (Hangzhou) Digital Technology Co., Ltd." has changed the service category to "Pictures, Industry Information, Crafts" in the past week.

According to public information, Weiyi (Hangzhou) Digital Technology Co., Ltd. was established on May 18, 2021 with a registered capital of 3,722,219 yuan. In October, the company disclosed that it had completed 10 million RMB angel round financing.

According to Tianyancha, the digital art e-commerce platform "TheOne.art" is the only business under this enterprise. Official website, the company, also wrote that the only art platform has obtained compliance management qualifications under a number of existing policies.

Although the applet has been removed, users can still buy it through Alipay channel. At 6: 00 pm on February 22nd, the digital collection of "Rudolph and His Friends" with a total sales volume of 5,000 copies and a price of 29.9 yuan was sold out immediately after it was put on the shelves.

Ten minutes before the sale, the only art platform published a tweet about the purchase channel. In the article, the sentence "WeChat purchase and payment are not supported" was bold, suggesting that only pictures can be saved to the photo album and traded in Alipay.

After 6: 01, in the official exchange group joined by reporters, many people lamented that "it’s gone before the snap button is refreshed" and "how can anyone buy it", and many people were asking each other "Did you grab it?"

However, around 8 pm, some people in the group took a screenshot of the successful second sale of Rudolph and his friends Dylan, and the selling price was 1,700 yuan, which was over 55 times higher than the original price.

In another digital collection donation exchange group, someone sold the "Rudolph and his friends Apollo" collection for 8999 yuan.

It is reported that in the derivative market set up by the only art platform, users can consign digital collections.

The platform stated in the purchase instructions that "the secondary trading rules of digital art with different attributes are different", and users are requested to carefully read and agree with the relevant rules before operating accordingly.

The reporter wanted to ask the platform staff about the secondary transaction of the only platform, but as of press time, he has not received a response yet.

Industry self-discipline and compliance

In fact, the digital collection platforms of Internet companies such as Ant’s Whale Detective and Tencent’s Magic Core clearly do not support secondary transactions, but the secondary transactions of domestic digital collections have been going on.

The reporter saw in Weibo’s nft talk that many people posted that "Alipay Dunhuang Flying Deer was collected at a high price", and some people directly sent screenshots of their digital collections with the caption "Anyone?".

However, in the morning of February 22nd, Whale Detective announced that it found that some users illegally traded digital collections outside the platform, and restricted the donation of 56 users.

It is worth noting that on February 18th, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission of China issued a risk warning to prevent illegal fund-raising in the name of "Metauniverse", saying that some lawless elements used the names of "Metauniverse Investment Project" and "Metauniverse Chain Tour" to absorb funds and were suspected of illegal fund-raising and fraud. The tip also emphasizes that the public should enhance their awareness of risk prevention and recognition ability, and beware of being deceived.

Also on February 22nd, WeChat official account, the only art platform, published an article "Resolutely Support the Convention on Self-discipline of Meta-Cosmic Industry-A Record of the First General Meeting of the First Session of the Meta-Cosmic Industry Committee of China Mobile Union".

The Meta-cosmic Industry Self-discipline Convention includes: adhering to integrity and innovation, and raising awareness of compliance; Resist capital speculation and guide reasonable expectations; Strengthen the main responsibility and stay away from the illegal mode; Strengthen innovation confidence and participate in industrial cooperation; Fulfill social responsibility and build a digital China.

At the end of the article, the only art shows that the company hopes to purify the market order, resist all kinds of illegal financial activities and make its own contribution to the construction of digital China and cultural communication with all colleagues in the meta-universe industry.

Pay attention to a scholar’s ideological and political research

About the author: Kan Daoyuan, Associate Professor of School of Marxism, Fudan University.

Abstract: In the process of economic globalization, there are both cooperation and competition among countries. However, some western developed countries are used to manipulating ideological hegemony in economic competition, shaping global public opinion and public opinions, politicizing and even stigmatizing the legitimate economic and trade behaviors of developing countries and emerging economies, so as to help western multinational enterprises seize excess profits, realize transnational exploitation and safeguard western economic rule over the world. The disgraceful role of western ideological hegemony in international economic competition threatens the industrial and economic security of developing countries and emerging economies, misleads global public opinion and political values, and is not conducive to building a fair and reasonable new international political and economic order. We should keep a high degree of vigilance against the overall situation, concealment and harmfulness of this ideological infiltration, use comprehensive means to effectively counter it, carry out in-depth national security education, firmly establish the concept of national security in the new era, and earnestly safeguard national economic security, political security and cultural security.

[Keywords:] international economy; Developed capitalist countries; Ideological hegemony; Economic security; state security

Economic and trade globalization is a historical trend that benefits all mankind, and western developed countries have always been the biggest beneficiaries. However, with the in-depth development of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and the profound adjustment of international power, some western political forces stick to the cold war mentality of politicizing economic issues and ideological science and technology, and use the dominant political power, cultural power and public opinion power to intervene in international economic competition, in order to hinder the industrial rise of developing countries and emerging economies through ideological games and cultural psychological warfare, so as to continue to obtain and maintain transnational excess profits. From the Sino-US trade friction to the "Huawei incident" and then to the "COVID-19 vaccine incident" and "Xinjiang cotton incident", some western developed countries have repeatedly staged acts of manipulating ideological hegemony in economic competition, providing rich and vivid realistic cases and negative materials for the people of the world to recognize the true face of hegemonism and power politics. It is necessary to analyze and judge the realistic influence and development trend of western ideological hegemony in international economic competition from the perspective of safeguarding national economic security, political security and cultural security, and earnestly enhance the awareness and ability of safeguarding national security.

First, the basic characteristics of western ideological hegemony in international economic competition

As an important part of western "soft power", ideological hegemony is the key pillar of its world ruling power. After the end of the Cold War, western ideological hegemony has become increasingly active in world politics, becoming an invisible and ubiquitous "diffuse power", which has both the essential characteristics of western hegemonism and the remarkable characteristics of new changes in western political infiltration in the new period. This kind of power is more and more frequently and deeply involved in international economic competition, and plays the role of an "important variable" that affects or even influences international economic and trade development and international relations.

1. Based on the economic strength and military strength of developed capitalist countries, play its role in maintaining the western hegemonic system and the international political and economic order dominated by the west.

Since the Cold War, world politics has become "politics of ideas". The socialist ideology of the Soviet Union and eastern European countries is sharply opposed to the cultural hegemony based on western liberal democracy. The ideological conflict and the national interest conflict are intertwined to form the main line of international disputes. After the drastic changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the west thought it was a typical victory of "defeating ideas with ideas", and the western group led by the United States won a "war without smoke", marking the "end of history" and "end of ideology". With the "power vacuum" after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the west quickly occupied the sphere of influence of the former Soviet Eastern European bloc, spared no effort to export democracy and institutions, and the western ideological hegemony expanded strongly around the world. "Political power is only the product of economic power", [1](P80) As a kind of political "soft power", the "hegemony" of western ideology naturally has its "hard power" foundation. It is precisely because the western economic power and military power provide the necessary resources, conditions and confidence for the composition and "expansion" of ideological power that the propaganda of western democracy and human rights and the myth of "universal value" have won wide market and audience favor. At the same time, the advantages of ideological power in cultural communication, ideological construction, value orientation and system output have effectively made up for the shortcomings of limited application of economic and military power in some fields, and it has also become one of the important pillars to maintain the western hegemonic system. Since the 21st century,The United States-led western forces’ intervention in other countries’ internal affairs, such as the Iraq war, the Libyan war and the Syrian war, has been strongly condemned by international morality. The practice of promoting the "color revolution" and system export has gone bankrupt in Iraq, Libya, Egypt and other countries, especially since the international financial crisis in 2008, the deep-seated and systematic contradictions in western developed capitalist countries have been constantly exposed, coupled with the missteps and failures in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic and the intensification of social contradictions, which indicates a systematic crisis of western hegemony and a major international power structure. In this context, the western world, after careful consideration of the resource investment and strategic cost of maintaining the hegemonic system, finds that it cannot rely solely on "explicit" practices and naked means such as military action and economic sanctions, but needs to actively use ideological soft power to cover up its true intentions, adopt flexible, flexible and effective "implicit" strategic means, and shape the legitimacy and legitimacy of Western domination of global governance by subtle, silent and three-dimensional infiltration methods, and attack and weaken it.

2. With the main goal of helping developed capitalist countries and their multinational enterprises to obtain excess profits, carry out public opinion and cultural shaping.

Since the 21st century, developing countries and emerging economies have occupied an increasing proportion in the world economic stage, contributing more than 60% to the global economic growth, and [2](P12) is achieving an overall rise. This development trend will gradually change the basic appearance of western countries dominating the world economic structure in modern times through the differentiation of industrial development in various countries, the change of international division of labor and the adjustment of interest distribution pattern, which is of great practical significance to global economic governance, democratization of international relations and diversification of development models. However, western multinational enterprises cannot tolerate the loss of transnational excess profits after the changes of international industrial layout and world economic structure, and western developed capitalist countries are even more unwilling to end their economic hegemony. Lenin once hit the nail on the head and pointed out that international capital "is not simply to serve us, but to make a big profit" and "to grab hundreds of percent of profits by monopolizing the world market". [3](P193) Therefore, some western countries view the rise of emerging economies from the perspective of hegemonic thinking and "zero-sum game", especially unwilling to see the "loss" of monopoly profits and the rapid development of developing countries and emerging economies with different political and economic systems. On the one hand, they hinder the development and growth of international competitors through economic measures such as trade protectionism, financial risk transfer and tax competition; On the other hand, it is coordinated with political, public opinion and cultural means to form a "three-dimensional offensive" of global economic competition, [4](P3)Focus on cracking down on strategic emerging industries such as 5G, new energy photovoltaic and genetic engineering supported by international competitors including China. In the hundreds of years of global expansion in modern times, western countries have formed a deep-rooted tradition of cultural colonialism. In recent years, with the help of more advanced modern means of communication, western ideas, values and culture have penetrated into every corner of economic and social life, becoming an indispensable lubricant for maintaining the operation of the global economic ruling machine. At the same time, compared with the comparative change of economic strength, there is generally a long or short "time lag" in the comparative change of ideological power, and cultural inertia and mindset can often last for a long historical period, which also provides the basis and conditions for developed capitalist countries to continue to manipulate cultural hegemony. Through the role of value construction played by ideological hegemony, the whole world, especially developing countries and emerging economies, are urged to recognize the rules of international economic games formulated by the West, copy the political system and electoral system exported by the West, admire the brand culture shaped by the West, and avoid all kinds of economic behaviors and influences that are unfavorable to the interests of the West. As a result, the "non-Western" world has always been at the low end of the industrial chain, value chain, supply chain and interest chain, and finally "consciously" becomes an economy serving the developed capitalist countries and transnational interest groups in the West. In a word, western ideological hegemony cooperates with economic imperialism with cultural imperialism policy, aiming to strike and destroy potential rivals in international economic competition through flexible means, so as to continue to realize and maintain transnational exploitation and monopoly profits.

3. Take discourse hegemony, media hegemony and network hegemony as functional fulcrums and communication carriers, and implement global intensive infiltration.

Western discourse hegemony is the "core" of its ideological hegemony. After hundreds of years of construction, western concepts, thoughts and systems are embedded in a set of social science theoretical framework and academic system, and their discourse system, concept system and value system have deeply influenced the global public and transformed into strong ideological appeal and value penetration. The theory of liberal democracy and the theory of "universal value", together with various theories concocted in the name of academic innovation and various "indexes" known as "objectivity and justice" reflecting the political democracy, human rights situation and economic development of various countries, have jointly released the systematic radiation and three-dimensional influence of western discourse hegemony. [5] By ranking the democratic situation and human rights situation in a so-called "scientific" way, political pressure and economic sanctions against strategic competitors have become the usual tactics of the United States and other western countries. It is found that more than half of the US foreign economic sanctions contain policy objectives of democracy or human rights. [6] At the same time, it is the traditional advantage of the west to master the global and wide-ranging media organizations such as television and radio stations. More than 90% of the news in the world media market is monopolized by the western media. [7] According to the western political theory, the media is an "important tool" to supervise the government and promote social fairness and justice. However, the privatized media organizations always operate according to their own profit-making logic and behavior rules, that is, the media "customizes" the production of news and other products according to the requirements of the government and interest groups, while the government and interest groups "feed back" the media through resource transmission, forming a tacit understanding between the government, interest groups and media organizations."conspiracy" On the "Xinjiang Cotton Incident", the western media, represented by BBC and CNN, followed the lead of the government and interest groups, spared no effort to set issues, create public opinion, and start the propaganda machine to promote the interests of western multinational companies. In the Internet age, western ideological hegemony has broken through the physical boundaries of sovereign countries with the help of the advantages of network informationization, and has continued to perform the "Trinity" trick of political propaganda, value shaping and commercial communication in virtual space, and has fully applied network hegemony. Western websites, forums, Weibo, micro-vision and other cyberspace cooperate with traditional media to improve network coverage and adhesion in the form of cartoons and short videos, which are full of arguments to demonize Huawei, China COVID-19 Vaccine and Xinjiang Cotton, and guide netizens to form a preconceived negative impression, and take the opportunity to market western products online to achieve a "double harvest" of economic and political interests.

4. With political stigma, distortion of history, Luo Zhi charges and security deterrence as the main means, it cooperates with economic penetration and commercial operation.

 However, this has enabled the oil giants led by the United States and controlled by the West to occupy more international market share and make huge profits, thus realizing the original intention of the United States to exclude dissidents and manipulate petrodollars. In addition, in order to suppress Huawei’s and China’s 5G global business, the United States has raised more than 20 charges ranging from stealing trade secrets to violating sanctions against Iran, and unreasonably demanded that Canada detain the relevant person in charge of Huawei for a long time. Ironically, the United States has no mercy on competitors within the Western camp. The book "American Trap" profoundly describes that in the name of commercial bribery, American prosecutors use "long arm jurisdiction" to detain the head of Alstom France, and then achieve the purpose of prosecuting, splitting and forcibly purchasing the company and cracking down on competitors. [8](P2) Facts have proved that as long as anyone moves the cheese of western interest groups led by the United States and poses a threat to them in economic competition and scientific and technological competition, the violent machines and ruling machines mastered by the West will quickly start the "stress reaction" and implement the complete operation process of "distorting the facts-Luo Zhi’s charges-public opinion-judicial trial" until the business image of competitors is completely destroyed and their commercial competitiveness is greatly weakened, exposing naked economic imperialism and

5. Take the path of influencing global consumers’ values and behavior choices, and integrate political propaganda and commercial propaganda invisibly.

In recent years, developed capitalist countries have continuously released and shaped such information through the "figurative infiltration" of commercial propaganda such as daily necessities and electronic entertainment products: as the "commodity presentation" of western values, western commodities contain the beautiful value pursuit of human beings such as democracy, human rights and freedom; On the contrary, the goods made in some "non-Western" countries are inextricably linked with historical and realistic behaviors such as "violating human rights" and "suppressing democracy". Because their goods are "problematic", the national system and social values behind commodity production are "also problematic". Therefore, according to their propaganda, western goods not only occupy the "highland of quality", but also occupy the "highland of value and morality". Loving western goods not only means pursuing "high quality" goods themselves, but also symbolizes the pursuit and yearning of commodity consumers for good values. The goal of this integration of business and politics is to make the vast audience, including developing countries, form the value preference and path dependence of consumption, and then produce a strong psychological projection effect. [9] Facts have proved that the diffusion, permeability and appeal of the value-building project combined with commercial propaganda are extremely amazing, and this conclusion has been repeatedly verified by the political behavior practice of young audiences who worship western goods in the Arab Spring and the color revolution in many countries in recent years. Although there are individual phenomena that favor western goods and brands but are "anti-American" and "anti-Western", on the whole, there are few cases in which there is tension and conflict between western commodity culture and western political values in the thinking of young audiences.As a "social force leading the trend", youth’s value orientation "determines the value orientation of the whole society in the future". [10](P280) From commodity worship, enterprise worship and brand worship to value worship, cultural worship and system worship, it is a natural logical and psychological process to realize the "internal transformation" from brand loyalty to system loyalty. Similarly, by distorting or even smearing the business behaviors of developing countries and emerging economies, symbolizing, labeling and facelifting their commodities and brands, and guiding consumers to make negative comments on them automatically, it gradually evolved into negative psychological hints along the logical level of "commodity-enterprise-country-system", which is also an important result expected by western ideological hegemony. This result has a great impact on some developing countries and emerging economies whose political systems and economic and social development models are different from those of the West, and it will lead to a passive situation of commercial competition and institutional competition. Therefore, the ideological struggle in international economic competition seems to be mixed with political and cultural factors in economic behavior, but in fact it is intended to "reshuffle" the results of economic development and institutional contest through more concealed and overall political, psychological and propaganda wars.

Second, the realistic harm of western ideological hegemony in international economic competition

Western ideological hegemony not only affects normal international economic and trade exchanges, but its risk spillover effect involves many important fields such as industrial security, economic security, cultural security and political security, so we must attach great importance to it and carefully analyze and judge its practical influence and development trend.

1. Threatening the industrial development, economic sovereignty and economic security of developing countries and emerging economies.

As an extension of western economic and military hegemony, western ideological hegemony has become an important "variable" and "external force" with increasing frequency and depth in international economic competition. It breaks the fair rules of international economy and trade, crosses the "boundary" of the normal economic behavior of the country, makes a big fuss with political and ideological factors, sets various asymmetric "thresholds" such as so-called "democracy indicators", "human rights indicators" and "integrity indicators", and uses politicization, demonization, stigma and other means to create momentum for public opinion and publicity, putting international competitors in a passive position of politics, public opinion and business. This kind of behavior will directly damage the corporate image, industrial image and national image of developing countries and emerging economies, forcing them to change their industrial chains, supply chains and trade chains under the international "encirclement and suppression" situation, resulting in huge enterprise development costs and industrial internal friction, affecting the production, operation and development of pillar enterprises, and even greatly weakening the industrial base, international economic competitiveness and game ability that may compete with western developed countries, such as electronic information, biomedicine, intelligent manufacturing, new energy photovoltaic and modern agriculture. Under this circumstance, the balance of payments of developing countries and emerging economies will be disturbed, the reduction of foreign exchange reserves and the increase of international debt will be inevitable, and the international financial risks and national economic security risks will further rise. Once the time is ripe, transnational capital controlled by developed capitalist countries will enter these fields related to the national economy and people’s livelihood along with political infiltration and cultural infiltration.Through various means such as acquisition, merger and reorganization, the pillar industries and emerging industries of competitors are "dismembered", thus controlling the economic lifeline and economic sovereignty of developing countries and continuing and expanding their transnational exploitation and excess profits. If some western countries are allowed to continue to manipulate ideological hegemony in international economic competition, it will cause the developing countries to suffer from economic and technological bottlenecks to political and cultural bottlenecks, fall into the trap of international division of labor and be exploited in international trade, continue to expand the industrial gap and competitiveness gap with developed countries, and it is difficult to get rid of the "dependent role" and "marginal position" of the west in economy.

2. Build a global business culture and political values that are in line with Western interests.

Fundamentally speaking, international trade behavior results from the differences in resource endowments among countries and the international division of labor. It has the basic characteristics of cooperation, win-win and mutual benefit, and there is also an obvious "boundary" with international political behavior. It cannot simply equate economic and trade behavior and relations between countries with political behavior and relations. However, western ideological hegemony can skillfully combine the "two skins" of commercial behavior and political behavior. On the one hand, it constantly manipulates political issues and ideological means to influence the results of international economic and trade, serving multinational enterprises and transnational capital; On the other hand, he is good at "invisibility" in business activities and economic exchanges, self-replication, self-propagation and self-expansion, and accurately "implants" the "political" genes carried and embedded in "economic" activities into the body and mind of global targets. Especially for the latter, the vast number of developing countries and emerging economies should pay close attention and be vigilant. Because, it is not only related to the specific results of international economic competition in some periods, but also to the fundamental and long-term problems of the global rule of the whole western values. In this field, western ideological hegemony combines "grand narrative" with "specific details", links "old historical accounts" with "practical problems", binds "commercial behavior" with "evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of the system", and integrates political ideas with commercial propaganda, leaving no trace and turning it into invisibility, exposing the ingenuity and foresight of political psychological warfare in international economic competition. This situation is quite prominent in recent international political practice.It will also become the norm in future international relations. It can be predicted that international economic competition with political issues will occur more frequently. Apart from attacking competitors, its purpose is to discipline and brainwash the global public, that is, to inculcate such a value judgment repeatedly: only business practices that conform to Western political values are "good" and can be "favored" by the West, and this "favor" undoubtedly symbolizes "civilization and progress" Behaviors and systems that deviate from it represent "backwardness, conservatism and evil" and will not be "recognized" by the western world and the international mainstream. This ideological offensive is a new continuation and development of the infiltration of western values in the international economic field in the post-cold war period, and its great energy of building a global business culture view and political values in line with western interests has been repeatedly verified by history and reality, and continues to accelerate its development.

3. It has a significant negative impact on the establishment of a new international political and economic order.

The hegemony of western ideology in international economic competition shows that the western developed countries led by the United States violate the international trade rules and destroy the global industrial chain, supply chain and value chain, which is a naked bullying behavior. [11] This behavior is the continuation and evolution of the Cold War mentality in the international economic and trade field. Its essence is to regard developing countries and emerging economies as competitors and opponents of their interests, and move against the historical trend of economic globalization, multipolarization and democratization of international relations. In order to safeguard the hegemonic interests of the West and the global rule of the West, they will not hesitate to tear off the "coat" of win-win and mutual benefit in international economic and trade cooperation, and adopt ideological means to "encircle" by public opinion and "subdue" by politics, thus hindering industrial competition. In fact, "relying on the cold war mentality, drawing a line with ideology and playing a zero-sum game can neither solve our own problems nor cope with the common challenges facing mankind." [12] The Cold War mentality and its practice have set an extremely bad value orientation and public opinion orientation in international relations: that is, compared with western developed countries, the values, system design and corporate culture of developing countries and emerging economies are all "inferior", so they can only exist in the role of supporting industries in western countries, and any behavior that forms industrial competition with western countries is "not allowed", otherwise they will be jointly strangled and severely punished; At the same time, from the perspective of pragmatism and utilitarianism, western countries can trample on the basic norms of international exchanges at will, take western values as the measuring standard and judging basis, and use "non-economic and trade"Means to solve normal international economic and trade problems. Realistically, the rise of developing countries and emerging economies and the fundamental changes in the international power structure have become an indisputable fact, which is not only the historical necessity of the changing strength of international actors and the development and change of the international pattern, but also the value necessity of establishing a fairer and more rational new international political and economic order. However, some developed capitalist powers have evaded the facts and violated the law, subjectively claiming moral superiority and superior value, waving sanctions sticks everywhere to play the role of guardians, but in fact they are selfish and harbor evil intentions; Objectively, it will lead to "industrial suffocation", economic decline and development stagnation in developing countries and emerging economies, and will eventually continue to widen the global gap between the rich and the poor, arouse hatred against western developed countries and trigger a "burning world", which will bring greater variables and add more uncertainty to solving the problem of global peace and development.

Third, the path choice of deconstructing western ideological hegemony in international economic competition

In view of the new trend and new characteristics of western ideological hegemony in international economic competition, we should vigorously innovate the thinking and methods of struggle, adopt comprehensive means to respond forcefully, organically combine ideological and public opinion guidance, discourse system construction, international joint struggle and the revitalization of strategic emerging industries, gradually change passive response into strategic initiative, and earnestly safeguard industrial security, economic security and ideological security.

1. Deeply expose the essence of western ideological hegemony in international economic competition.

Apart from the support of economic and military strength, the spread, concealment and confusion of western ideological hegemony have played a considerable role. Therefore, we should make great efforts to remove all kinds of "packages" and "coats" from the western ideological hegemony, interpret its key code of "collusion between capital and power" [13], and expose its essence of cooperating economic colonization with ideological control and cultural colonization to the people of the world. In terms of international communication, it is necessary to reveal the trauma and evil consequences brought by hegemonism and power politics to the people of the world from the historical dimension, analyze the new trends, new manifestations and new features of hegemonism in the post-cold war era from the realistic dimension, and evaluate the contributions and bright prospects of developing countries and emerging economies to world peace and development from the development trend dimension, especially to tell the truth about the times value and world significance of building a community of human destiny, and further strive for an active international public opinion situation. In terms of domestic propaganda, it is necessary to expose the true intention of the West to manipulate the media to carry out public opinion wars to stigmatize China enterprises, strategic emerging industries and political system, expose the "motive injury", "historical injury", "data injury" and "theory injury" behind the pressure exerted by the West under the "human rights card" and "democracy card", and reveal the great historical and practical significance of developing strategic emerging industries and solving the "bottleneck" problem for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In the ideological education of young people,It is necessary to explain clearly and thoroughly the arduous efforts and great historical achievements made by the Party in leading the people to carry out economic construction and national industrial revitalization through historical review, the industrial advantages and disadvantages between China and western developed countries through comparative methods, and the deep feelings about the economic development, scientific and technological progress and industrial take-off of the motherland in recent years through storytelling. Through the sharing of personal experience, we will clearly explain the brand confidence, industrial confidence, institutional confidence and cultural confidence of the motherland, and further enlighten and train young people through realistic, targeted and critical situation and task education. In short, we should not only be highly alert to the threat posed by western ideological hegemony, but also regard this realistic challenge as a rare opportunity and a vivid case to carry out ideological education, institutional self-confidence education and national security education, so as to truly break the "fog" of values and realize ideological "disenchantment" in the whole party and society.

2. Strengthen the construction of political discourse power in international economic competition.

The supreme leader pointed out that "to achieve our development goals, we must be strong not only materially, but also spiritually". [14](P46) It is the long-standing weakness of the discourse system of developing countries and emerging economies and the imbalance of the international discourse power between East and West that makes Western ideology take the lead and be aggressive everywhere, which leads to the passive situation that the "non-Western" world is speechless and easily blamed on the international stage. Therefore, we must make a long-term plan, carefully arrange and fundamentally reverse this unfavorable situation, and grasp the initiative and dominance of the international ideological struggle. In view of the problem of "poverty" in political discourse and insufficient supply of concepts in international communication, we should "create new concepts, new categories and new expressions that are easy to be understood and accepted by the international community", [15] vigorously build a discipline system, academic system and discourse system that can effectively explain the economic success, political development and social progress of developing countries and emerging economies represented by China; Vigorously build a cognitive system, a conceptual system and a knowledge system that can strongly criticize and predict the historical generation, realistic representation and declining trend of western capitalist hegemony headed by the United States; Vigorously build a theoretical paradigm, an analytical paradigm and a dialogue paradigm that can deeply interpret the multi-polarization of the world and the community of human destiny. Although it is difficult to completely change the international discourse pattern of "strong in the west and weak in me" in the short term, as the largest developing country and socialist country in the world,Based on the successful practice of China Road, China System and China Model and the discourse construction based on great samples, telling the story of China well and spreading the picture of "the rule of China" and "the chaos in the West" reflected by China’s voice will help to accelerate the deconstruction and end the hegemony of western discourse. At the same time, it is necessary to further expand the generating space, use scenes and attached carriers in discourse shaping, combine discourse construction with economic trade and commercial propaganda more closely, be good at creating vivid discourse in international economic exchanges, be good at using characteristic discourse in online marketing, brand building and image building, and strive to enhance the attractiveness, appeal and permeability of discourse, continuously expand the coverage of discourse and increase the acceptance of the audience. The political, moral and popular advantages of developing countries and emerging economies on the world stage will be continuously transformed into discourse advantages and public opinion advantages, gradually breaking the "centralized" western discourse hegemony and the selfish definition and exclusive monopoly of political categories such as freedom, democracy and human rights, and effectively solving the problems of "aphasia" and "scolding".

3. Developing countries and emerging economies are engaged in more conscious joint struggle.

The power to end western ideological hegemony will not be automatically generated from within, but will only grow from outside. The decline and dissolution of western ideological hegemony is an irreversible historical process, and the length and acceleration frequency of this process depend on the material basis of the western world and the comparative changes of international forces. Therefore, the vast number of developing countries and emerging economies should break the "western-centric theory" with more firm historical confidence and determination, strive for economic democracy and political democracy through conscious international joint struggle, and establish a more fair and reasonable new international political and economic order. First of all, we should firmly establish a sense of community of human destiny, take the peaceful development of the world and serve the interests of the vast majority of people around the world as our responsibility, and carry out closer international economic cooperation and international political alliance. The supreme leader pointed out that "no country has the power to take charge of international affairs, dominate the fate of other countries and monopolize development advantages". [12] Resolutely oppose unilateralism, isolationism, anti-globalization, de-globalization and beggar-thy-neighbor behavior in getting rid of the common challenges faced by mankind, such as poverty, global warming, public health security and the threat of terrorism. Secondly, developing countries and emerging economies should safeguard their common interests in international trade and earnestly respect and protect each other’s industrial security, economic security and national sovereignty. Establish a United front in the international public opinion struggle, issue a unanimous voice, show a firm attitude, and take a clear-cut stand against the politicization of economic issues, the ideology of science and technology, and the stigma of national image.Strongly respond to the political offensive, public opinion offensive and network offensive of western ideological hegemony, and jointly establish a good international image of actively fighting for the right to subsistence and development. Thirdly, it is necessary to maintain the strategic determination of developing strategic emerging industries for a long time, breaking the technological monopoly of western countries, coordinating industrial development and industrial safety, "taking self-reliance in science and technology as the strategic support for national development", [16] continuing to invest resource elements in the front line of scientific and technological innovation and personnel training, and gradually "filling in" the scientific and technological gap and industrial gap with western developed countries. Improve the discourse power, bargaining power and discretion of developing countries and emerging economies in international economic and trade, continuously reduce the excess profits and transnational exploitation of western developed countries, and finally resolve the western ideological hegemony through technological transcendence, economic transcendence and strength transcendence.

[China Student Nutrition Day] @ Parents experts give you a key point.

May 20th this year is the 35th China Student Nutrition Day, with the theme of "Milk beans add nutrition and less oil is healthier". Nutrition is an important material basis for human beings to maintain their lives, growth and health. Compared with adults, primary and secondary school students have faster physical growth and higher demand for energy and nutrition. The nutritional status in childhood will affect people’s health all their lives. Scientific diet, reasonable collocation and balanced diet can help healthy growth.

Parents get a small notebook quickly, and nutrition experts will focus on it for everyone!

Nutrition and diet of preschool children aged 2-5

The Dietary Guidelines for Children and Adolescents in China issued by China Nutrition Society are divided into two stages, the first stage is preschool children aged 2-5, and the second stage is school-age children and adolescents aged 6-17. Then let’s start from the first stage, that is, the nutrition and diet of school-age children aged 2-5.

2-5-year-old children’s food types and dietary structure have begun to approach adults, but they are different from adults, so they should be increased on the basis of the dietary guidelines for the general population:

1. Eat regularly, eat independently and not be picky about food, and cultivate good eating habits.

2. Drink milk every day, drink plenty of water and choose snacks correctly.

3. Food should be cooked reasonably, easy to digest, with less seasoning and less frying.

4. Participate in food selection and production, and enhance the cognition and love of food.

5. Regular outdoor activities to ensure healthy growth.

In real life, in order to arrange the meals of children aged 2-5 reasonably, we should arrange breakfast, lunch and evening meals three times a day, and on this basis, we should add meals at least twice. Generally, it is arranged once in the morning and once in the afternoon respectively. Meals are mainly milk and fruit, with a small amount of soft pastry. Add small portions of meals, change and match recipes according to seasons and eating habits, and pay attention to food safety and hygiene.

Nutrition and diet of school-age children aged 6-17

School-age children aged 6-17 are in the school study stage, growing rapidly, and their demand for energy and nutrients is relatively higher than that of adults. Adequate nutrition is the material guarantee for the normal development of school-age children’s intelligence and physique, and even their lifelong health. The food types and dietary structure of school-age children are basically the same as those of adults, but the following five items need to be added on the basis of the dietary guidelines for the general population:

1. Know food, learn cooking, and improve the scientific literacy of nutrition.

2. Eat three meals reasonably and regularly, and cultivate healthy eating behavior.

3. Choose snacks reasonably, drink plenty of water and don’t drink sugary drinks.

4. Don’t be partial to diet, don’t overeat, and keep fit for weight gain.

5. Ensure at least 60 minutes of activities every day, and increase outdoor activities time.

If children want to study well, nutrition must not be ignored. Because of the heavy study tasks and the lack of self-care in this period, some parents often pay less attention to them than infants and preschool children because of their busy work. Many children often have irregular meals, especially many children often skip breakfast or have too simple breakfast, which leads to insufficient nutrition in breakfast. If the children’s intake of energy and nutrients is insufficient for three meals, the children will be distracted, slow to respond and reduce their learning efficiency at school, so it is difficult for them to improve their grades. In the long run, it will also affect the growth and development of children.

01

Provide a reasonable and balanced diet

On the premise of sufficient supply of heat energy, attention should be paid to the quality and quantity of protein and the supply of other nutrients. Do a good job of matching meat and vegetables, prevent excessive consumption of snacks and sweets, and cultivate good eating habits. Diversification of dietary varieties to meet the requirements of a balanced diet. Food is the main source of various nutrients. In daily diet, eating different types of food together is helpful for the balanced supplement of various nutrients and maintaining children’s health. For example, cereals can provide carbohydrates and vitamins; Vegetables and fruits are good sources of minerals, vitamins and dietary fiber; Fish, meat, poultry and eggs can provide children with protein, fat and phospholipids. In addition, parents can change cooking methods to improve the color and flavor of food, stimulate children’s appetite and reduce their picky eaters.

02

Make a good meal arrangement for three meals a day

Three meals should be carried out according to the principle of eating well for breakfast, eating well for lunch and eating less for dinner.

Pay special attention to the intake of breakfast heat energy and protein, so that breakfast heating accounts for 30% of the total heat energy in a day; Lunch should not be too simple, heat energy accounts for about 35% ~ 40% of the whole day; Dinner is 30% ~ 35%. If snacks can be properly supplemented between classes in the morning, it will be very helpful to students’ health and learning efficiency in the morning. If the school can provide students with a lunch, providing 1/3 of the heat energy needed for the whole day and 1/2 of other nutrients needed for the whole day, it will be beneficial to students’ health and growth. Pupils are generally nervous about studying in the morning, so they should pay attention to the quantity and quality of breakfast and eat as much as possible. In addition to staple food, foods rich in protein and vitamins such as milk, eggs or bean products, vegetables and meat can be appropriately increased to ensure children’s adequate nutrition and energy in the morning. When you get up in the morning, your appetite is generally not high. You can use a dry and thin mix, such as bread or steamed buns with milk, soy milk or porridge, and then eat an egg, some floss or bean products to supplement protein. If breakfast can’t meet the nutritional requirements, you can also add a snack after the second class in the morning, that is, an intermission meal. The purpose of recess meal is to supplement the deficiency of energy and nutrients in breakfast, which is especially important for children who don’t eat breakfast or eat less breakfast. The break meal can be composed of a bun or cake and a glass of milk, which can not only replenish water, but also provide energy, high-quality protein and calcium. Of course, if the nutrition of breakfast can meet the needs, there is no need to add meals between classes.

03

Cultivate good eating habits

1. Diet should be quantified regularly;

2. Eat slowly, concentrate, don’t watch TV and play games while eating;

3. Don’t be picky about food, partial eclipse, anorexia or snacks.

Parents’ words and deeds are very important for children to develop good eating habits. In addition, family education should focus on guidance, try not to force it, and avoid children from forming rebellious psychology. In addition, school-age children should continue to cultivate good living habits and hygiene habits with the help of teachers, eat less snacks, drink light drinks and control sugar intake.

The strongest productivity | Digital empowerment sings a new chapter in Haier’s green and intelligent creation.

Xinhuanet Beijing, May 30th (Grain Rain) The Tenth Five-Year Plan for the Development of Circular Economy points out that vigorously developing circular economy is of great significance to ensuring the security of national resources, promoting the realization of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality, and promoting the construction of ecological civilization.

With the acceleration of the "double carbon" process, cultivating new kinetic energy for green development has become an important component of high-quality development in the new era. Today, with the deep integration of the new generation of information technology and the traditional manufacturing industry, how to take advantage of the "double carbon" east wind and win a "green" future with the upstream and downstream partners in the industrial chain is the key to the digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading of today’s manufacturing industry.

The WEF Intelligent Industry Index Certification White Paper "Insight Report on Manufacturing Transformation" was released on the website of the World Economic Forum, and Haier was selected again, and its four factories were also selected as white paper cases.

The picture shows the World Economic Forum (WEF) announcing its selection as a new member of the Global Lighthouse Network in 2022.

Undoubtedly, under the new development pattern, with the increasing emphasis on the importance of "digital industrialization and industrial digitalization", Haier stands out among countless enterprises in China, creating an excellent demonstration model of global intelligent manufacturing, which is a model for the in-depth integration and development of digital economy and real economy.

Recently, following Haier Central Air Conditioning Interconnection Factory, Shenyang Haier Refrigerator Interconnection Factory and Tianjin Haier Washing Machine Interconnection Factory, Zhengzhou Haier Water Heater Interconnection Factory was selected as the eighth batch of global lighthouse factories.

Create a green and beautiful life experience

Ms. Du, who lives in Qingdao, found that after bathing, her skin often became dry and itchy, because the water heater was used for a long time and the internal scale was deposited. In fact, the general water heater needs to be cleaned regularly. If it is not cleaned in time, it will seriously affect the family’s bathing experience.

In order to fundamentally solve the troubles of users, in the scene of healthy water use of Haier electric water heater, clean water washing technology can sterilize the running water filter liner, and its long-term scale inhibition rate is as high as 99.9%. It can also start the purification and bacteriostasis mode with one key, realize the high temperature bacteriostasis of the whole liner at 80℃, kill 99.9% bacteria in the liner, and keep the water clean and healthy liner without manual cleaning. Let each user’s home bath water quality be more assured.

This is inseparable from the empowerment of Haier’s innovative technology. Innovate crystal gallbladder technology, completely subvert the traditional metal liner, and build an electric water heater without magnesium rods; Innovate deep drawing process, and eliminate the traditional 3-seam liner which is easy to corrode and leak. This also makes Haier water heater bring a better life to users, while it is more stable and durable, and its energy consumption is gradually reduced, and it has gradually become a green product that is deeply loved and trusted by consumers.

In addition to the comfortable experience of green, low carbon, environmental protection and energy saving brought by the user’s demand side, for the production side, digital technology can also run through R&D, design, production, operation, service and other links, enabling enterprises to reduce production costs, improve quality and increase efficiency from the source and process to the whole, and at the same time effectively reducing energy use and carbon emissions.

Through the high-speed operation of 5G+MEC platform, the material specifications of different products can be quickly identified, and with the high-precision 3D visual positioning system, the problems of slow data transmission operation speed and low assembly efficiency can be effectively solved.

Based on the digital platform of IOT equipment, the performance and process parameters of key equipment can be collected and analyzed, and the real-time monitoring of operation can be realized, achieving 100% interconnection and visualization. If there is any abnormality, the fault information will be directly pushed to the employee’s mobile phone remotely, so as to timely remind and remotely control, effectively improve production efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Through the advanced next-generation information technologies, such as industrial Internet of Things, big data, 5G cloud computing and artificial intelligence, Zhengzhou Haier Water Heater Interconnection Factory has initiated 63 industrial technology integration applications, including 20 industrial 4.0 technologies and 43 advanced manufacturing technologies, which are in the forefront of the field of intelligent manufacturing of water heaters.

The picture shows the unmanned turnover of Zhengzhou Haier Water Heater Interconnection Factory.

Constantly practicing and accelerating energy-saving and low-carbon transformation

The new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating the construction of a new pattern of China’s economic development, and the economic value brought by green, low-carbon and environmental protection needs to be supported by information technology and digital technology. Intelligent manufacturing is becoming a key breakthrough to achieve the goal of "double carbon".

Zhengzhou Haier water heater interconnection factory not only produces air energy water heaters and electric water heaters, but also opens up a production line for gas water heaters. For gas water heaters, it is very important to ensure the high efficiency, stability and energy saving of the heating link.

Through the hybrid technology of fuel and electricity, the single heating mode of traditional water heater is improved, and the problems such as the water temperature is suddenly cold and hot after turning off the water and the noise of frequent start and stop are solved, so that the constant temperature in the whole bath and the silent water use in the kitchen are truly realized. A closed combustion chamber is also built in, so that the combustion is stable, the water temperature is constant and does not fluctuate, the flue gas does not leak backward, and the firepower in the combustion chamber is ensured to be stable, more stable, more constant, safer and more energy-saving.

The gas water heater products produced by Zhengzhou Haier Water Heater Interconnection Factory are one of the powerful proofs that Haier Lighthouse Factory has carried out practical exploration around the realization path of "double carbon" goal. It is precisely because of this that Haier has made great breakthroughs in high-efficiency production and sustainable development from manufacturing in China to manufacturing in China with the help of advanced technology.

In Zhengzhou Haier Water Heater Interconnection Factory, from 2020 to 2021, the order response speed increased by 25%, the production efficiency increased by 31%, and the product quality increased by 26%, realizing high-precision, zero-defect end-to-end intelligent manufacturing and whole-process interconnection.

"Double carbon" will become the underlying logic supporting the development of digital economy. According to the relevant person in charge of Haier, through COSMOPlat kaos’s "one body and two wings" (one body: AIoT+digital innovation; Two wings: global purchasing resources allocation ability, mass customization order empowerment ability), Haier continues to accumulate "lighthouse experience" to build an ecological circle with users and resources in parallel.

Facing the booming market and increasing demand for high-end products and services, Haier Hot has established closer ties with suppliers, factories and customers. On the one hand, build a digital supplier management platform, which is interconnected with suppliers in real time, support suppliers to dynamically adjust material preparation and production capacity, and drive upstream suppliers to produce at full capacity, high quality and low cost; On the other hand, the establishment of a multi-energy intelligent service cloud platform can not only remotely operate and manage the client-side energy-supplying equipment, but also perform fault self-diagnosis, intelligent early warning and remote maintenance, so as to match the best energy-saving scheme for users and reduce energy waste.

Pictured: kaos builds the world’s first intelligent +5G mass customization demonstration and verification platform.

Light up the road of ecological green development

Relevant forecasts show that the comprehensive contribution rate of circular economy to China’s carbon emission reduction will reach 30% during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period. In order to accelerate the development of circular economy, Haier, as the leader of the ecological brand of the Internet of Things, has already drawn a "double carbon" road map, and has embarked on the road of all-ecological green development with green technology to promote the high-quality development of enterprises and continuously export green and low-carbon solutions.

At the beginning of this year, Haier Group further clarified the development direction of "double carbon". Haier announced the establishment of the Science and Technology Committee, which will set up a special industrial fund of 40 billion yuan and invest 60 billion yuan in R&D in the next three years, and the science and technology field that aims at breakthrough first is "green double carbon", and in the future, it will "pay attention to the new development opportunities brought by new energy and circular economy and become the pioneer of green development".

In the smart home sector, Haier integrates low carbon into the whole product life cycle from green home appliances to green scenes, to green logistics and green recycling; In the industrial internet sector, Haier uses digital technology to promote the intelligent and green development of enterprises, parks and industries, and realize low-carbon energy transformation; In the big health sector, Haier’s solar vaccine refrigerator and other green and low-carbon solutions have gone global …

At present, the first interconnected factory project of China household appliances recycling industry built by Haier will be put into production in Qingdao, which is a recycling industrial park that uses a large number of renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy. It can dismantle 2 million sets of waste household appliances and modify and granulate 30,000 tons every year, effectively promoting the large-scale, standardized and clean development of renewable resources processing and utilization industry.

The picture shows that Haier’s home appliance recycling industry interconnection factory started construction in Laixi, Qingdao.

Up to now, there are 103 lighthouse factories in the world, 37 of which are located in China, which proves the surging vitality of China manufacturing in the new era. Today, with the increasing emphasis on the construction of ecological civilization, it has become a general trend for the manufacturing industry to achieve green and low-carbon sustainable development.

At the same time, Haier has built the "Haier Sino-German Smart Park", a 5G+ intelligent manufacturing fully connected industrial park, to help Haier intelligently control 14 kinds of energy media in the whole process of energy conversion, transmission, distribution and consumption.

China’s economy has turned from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage. Haier has become a leader in intelligent manufacturing, and is actively playing a demonstration role, anchoring the "road map" of the "double carbon" goal, constantly tamping the "ballast stone" of digital technology, practicing the "general tone" of sustainable development, and linking the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to form an "agglomeration effect" to open up a broader space for high-quality development.

Zhou Xianghu: Dreamer under the Tower of Babel

Photography: Wang Sijiang

[Biography] Zhou Xianghu, male, born in Xiangtan, Hunan Province, joined the army in June 2001. He is currently an engineer at the Wenchang Launch Site Engineering Construction Command. In the case of near blindness, he participated in the construction of a new generation of space launch sites in China, and built the Babel of the Long March 5 and Long March 7 launch vehicles, and won the first class. In 2014, he was awarded the fifth "National Model of Self-improvement", and in 2016, he was awarded the "National Upward Good Youth", which was cordially received by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader.

Cctv news(Reporter Guo Cheng) On June 25, 2016, Wenchang, China, was shocked by a fire. The Long March 7 launch vehicle made its perfect debut, and the Wenchang Space Launch Site was amazing and bright. China Aerospace started a new "Long March" in this ancient town in Qiongbei.

Looking at the towering tower, Zhou Xianghu, an engineer of Wenchang launch site engineering construction headquarters, has vague and clear eyes. Blurred, because his left eye has no light perception, and his right eye naked vision is only 0.04. Clear, because he witnessed the launch site from blueprint to reality, from Longlou town to the world.

"Exploring the vast universe, developing the space industry and building a space power are our unremitting pursuit of space dreams." The supreme leader’s entrustment is still in my ears. The tide of reforming and strengthening the army is surging, and China’s new generation of high-thrust launch vehicle Long March 5 is waiting to go out. Zhou Xianghu looks after the Babel &hellip, which holds up the "ice arrow", like caring for his own eyes; …

Rivet on the construction site like a nail

In August, 2007, in order to promote the sustainable development of the space industry and meet the needs of the launch mission of a new generation of launch vehicles and new spacecraft, the CPC Central Committee was far-sighted, and the State Council and the Central Military Commission approved the decision to build a new space launch site in Wenchang, Hainan. On September 14th, 2009, the Wenchang Space Launch Site officially started construction.

"The need of the space industry is the choice of space warriors." Zhou Xianghu volunteered and moved to Hainan with his comrades-in-arms, and ran from land to island, becoming the first entrepreneurs in the construction of a new generation of space launch sites in China.

At that time, bushes and thorns were all around, and snakes, insects, rats and ants frequently appeared. The harsh environment of high temperature, high humidity and high salt spray is even more unbearable: every rainy day, the ground is damp, the clothes are moldy, and the 6-square-meter board shed is like a steamer. A desk works during the day and becomes a bed when the mat is spread at night.

The hardships at the beginning of starting a business failed to stop the trudgers. In order to complete the task of border reconnaissance as soon as possible, Zhou Xianghu, like a tireless pioneer cow, wears a straw hat to shade the sun, holds a firewood knife to open the way, and carries measuring equipment all day long to shuttle through the bush jungle and back and forth to the swamp paddy field. When mosquitoes and leeches bite, Zhou Xianghu is covered in bags, and the whole body is peeled off by the scorching sun. The long-distance field survey on foot has made his feet full of bubbles.

At the turn of summer and autumn in 2011, the construction of the launch site project entered a decisive battle stage to seize the construction period and ensure the quality. More than 150 major projects have been started in succession, and the construction of the launch towers of Long March 7 and Long March 5, which have the most complicated technology and the highest quality requirements, is in full swing. As a site management representative, Zhou Xianghu riveted on the construction site like a nail, covered with soil in sunny days and mud in rainy days.

At the beginning of September, the diversion channel was concreted, and the amount of concrete poured at one time was as high as more than 3000 cubic meters. Because pouring can’t stop, Zhou Xianghu stayed at the construction site for more than 30 hours. The scorching sun, the heat wave attacking people, the surface temperature of steel bars exceeds 60℃, and sweat and steam are mixed with cement ash, which makes people’s eyes cry.

"The other eye is dedicated to it without regrets."

The project went smoothly, but unfortunately it came quietly. Zhou Xianghu, who was already highly nearsighted, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and blacked out at the moment because of long-term exposure to strong sunlight, electric welding arc stimulation and overwork. When he held the steel bar and recovered, his eyes were blurred. At night, even if you open your eyes wide, there is only a very weak sense of light.

That night, Zhou Xianghu lay motionless in bed, and his mind was blank. He didn’t dare to turn off the lights or close his eyes, for fear that what little light was left would disappear. "I really can’t see? Will my dream come true? " Zhou Xianghu repeatedly asked himself if he could return to the launch site, see the big rocket take off, and watch his daughter grow up slowly … …

The sky is full of people! After the full treatment of Beijing medical experts, Zhou Xianghu’s right eye was saved!

According to people’s instinctive judgment, this young man’s space dream will be shattered — — A person who is completely blind in his left eye and wears 1200-degree glasses in his right eye with a vision of only 0.25 can’t see the drawings clearly, and even his own life is affected.

Zhou Xianghu is faced with a life choice: whether to accept other jobs arranged by the organization and leaders or to rest. Zhou Xianghu asked the organization to return to the construction line.

After a short period of treatment and recovery, Zhou Xianghu returned to the launch site. Facing the vague tower in front of him, he firmly believes: "If I choose, I will stick to it. Even if I give my other eye to it, I have no regrets."

"If your eyesight drops, your standards must not drop."

In the days when he first returned to the construction site, Zhou Xianghu faced much more difficulties than expected. At that time, my eyes were red and swollen, and even when I ate, I was smoked by the hot air, and my tears could not stop flowing downwards. The sun shines and the sea breeze blows, and Zhou Xianghu’s eyes are sore. "If your eyesight drops, the standard must not drop." Zhou Xianghu said.

Dense data, one can’t be wrong, which is very difficult for normal people, especially for Zhou Xianghu. In order to make sure he didn’t make mistakes, he carried a magnifying glass with him, kept his eyes on the drawing and read it line by line. After watching it for a few minutes, his eyes hurt, so he closed his eyes and looked down again.

In this way, Zhou Xianghu carved the drawings of two stations piled up more than 1 meter high into his mind.

In July 2014, the once-in-a-century super typhoon "rammasun" landed near the launch site, which is undoubtedly a big test for the newly completed tower.

Two hours before the typhoon, the maximum instantaneous wind force of meteorological warning will reach 17, which exceeds the upper limit of wind resistance of the tower. Although it has been reinforced, Zhou Xianghu is still uneasy and insists on climbing up to have a look.

When the colleague saw it, he grabbed him: "You are not dying! The wind is so strong, the rain is so urgent, and the eyes are not good. What should I do if there is an accident? "

At this time, Zhou Xianghu had only one thought in his heart: "The safety of the tower is more important than life! Go! Must go! " He took the comrades of the construction unit to risk the typhoon coming at any time, held the handrail tightly, checked the key parts one by one, and confirmed the important equipment one by one. Two towers, more than 1100 steps, every step, the danger is close to one point, and every step, the worry is less.

Zhou Xianghu had just returned to the dormitory when the typhoon came. That night, his heart swayed like a coconut tree outside the window and suffered greatly. At dawn, Zhou Xianghu took everyone to the tower in the rain and re-examined it layer by layer. When he was sure that the subject was safe and sound, his brows, which had been locked, unfolded.

"I am ashamed of my family, but I have no regrets about the launch site."

Wenchang Space Launch Site is a national project. In the eyes of Zhou Xiang Tiger, this is his "home".

For this "home", Zhou Xianghu poured his heart into it. The "imbalance" of the emotional balance even makes parents, wives and daughters a little jealous.

His father suffered from uremia for many years until his death in early 2015, and Zhou Xianghu failed to take time to take care of it; Mother’s sciatica often attacks, and he can only tell comfort on the phone; I have been married to my wife for 13 years, and the two places have separated so far, gathering less and leaving more … …

In 2011, Zhou Xianghu went home to recuperate after surgery, which was the longest time for him to accompany his daughter. "It happened to be my birthday when I went home for a few days. When I ate the cake, I asked her to blow out the candles with me. The daughter said, ‘ Dad is afraid of the dark, so I don’t blow ’ I suddenly jumped into my arms and tears ran down my arm. "

Now, my daughter is in junior high school, and the time spent together between father and daughter is less than one year. "The first time I met her, she was just born. The second time I met her, she was already able to talk and walk. Later, she went to kindergarten … …” Every time I think about this, Zhou Xianghu will have a dull pain in his heart.

Zhou Xianghu also has a dream of reunion in his heart, but when he thinks that the launch tower he supervised will send the motherland’s big rocket and manned space station into space, and the exploration of the moon will also take this place as the home port, and China Aerospace will start its journey to further deep space from here, he feels that it is worthwhile to pay more.

Zhou Xianghu was ashamed of his family, but he had no regrets about the launch site and the space dream. The medal of "National Model of Self-improvement", "National Upward Good Youth" and the first-class merit medal shining on his chest are praise for his spirit of self-improvement.

Compared with these, he is even more proud of personally testing more than 15,000 tons of steel bars, more than 11,000 tons of section steel, more than 90,000 cubic meters of concrete, and more than 9,000 meters of steel column welds. Participated in exploring and innovating 12 new construction technologies and techniques, and many achievements were applied in the construction of launch site; Two launching stations were rated as excellent quality and safety inspection projects of the whole army … …

Every generation has a long March for each generation; Every generation must take its own long March.

Looking at the tower, Zhou Xianghu is full of confidence: "This is my long March! Even if you are blind, you must move on! " (Zhang Wenjun and Li Zhangwei contributed to this article)

Thailand Songkran Festival celebration opens float parade to light Bangkok.

  Xinhua News Agency, Bangkok, April 8 (Reporter Wang Jin Yang Zhou) On the evening of the 8 th local time in Thailand, the "Surprise Songkran Festival 2017" float parade was held in the capital Bangkok, thus opening the prelude to the Songkran Festival celebrations in Thailand.

  The night’s float parade began at Sukunyi Road, and six floats with different themes, such as "Beautiful Blooming Siam", "Goddess of Song Gan" and "Myth of Song Gan", appeared one after another with wonderful song and dance performances. These floats concentrated on displaying the colorful cultures of all parts of Thailand, adding a touch of bright color to the night view of Bangkok.

  In his opening speech that evening, Thailand’s Deputy Prime Minister in charge of tourism Tanasa expressed the hope that this year’s Songkran Festival would enable domestic and foreign tourists to deeply experience Thailand’s New Year culture and understand the cultural differences between different parts of Thailand.

  It is understood that this year’s celebrations in Bangkok are mainly held in Wuji Park and will last until the 13th. There are four exhibition areas in the park, which show visitors the different customs of celebrating Songkran Festival in different parts of Thailand through Buddhist rites, traditional customs display, food, Thai boxing and beauty pageant. In addition to Bangkok, the Thai Tourism Bureau will also hold celebrations in 13 provinces including Chiang Mai, Sukhothai, Dacheng and Phuket.

  Songkran Festival, also known as Songkran Festival, is a new year in Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia and other countries. In addition to throwing water at each other to show blessings, traditional celebrations also include going to temples to pay homage to Buddha and building sand pagodas.

  According to Thai media reports, it is estimated that the number of foreign tourists coming to Thailand during the Songkran Festival this year will reach 470,000, a year-on-year increase of 10%, which can generate 8.05 billion baht (about 1.6 billion yuan) for Thailand, a year-on-year increase of 17%. Judging from the air ticket booking at the end of March, the number of tourists from China ranks first.

Summary: Fukushima people oppose the Japanese government’s decision to start discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea.

  Xinhua News Agency, Fukushima, Japan, August 23rd Summary: Fukushima people oppose the Japanese government’s decision to start discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea.

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  The Japanese government decided on the 22nd, as long as the weather and marine meteorology are fine, the nuclear polluted water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will be discharged into the sea on August 24th. From 22nd to 23rd, several residents of Fukushima Prefecture were interviewed by Xinhua News Agency, condemning the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company for violating their original commitment not to dispose of nuclear polluted water without authorization, and reiterating their firm opposition to the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea.

  Xiao Ye Chunxiong, a 71-year-old fisherman in Xindicho, Fukushima Prefecture, told Xinhua News Agency on the 22nd: "Discharging the sea is a matter of survival for us. We have endured it and endured it for 12 or 13 years, and we have not recovered to ‘ 3·11’ The fishing level before the earthquake, under such circumstances, does kishida fumio, as the Japanese Prime Minister, have the right to pollute our workplace? "

  Xiao Ye Chunxiong said that after the 2011 earthquake, wholesalers in Tsukiji Aquatic Products Market in Tokyo were reluctant to purchase fish from Fukushima. Fishermen in Fukushima worked hard for more than 10 years, and it was not until two years ago that the price of seafood from Fukushima recovered to be higher than that before the earthquake. At this time, "if it is discharged, are we worried that fish can still be sold?" Moreover, nuclear polluted water can not be discharged in one year or two, and will continue to be discharged for a long time. "

  Chiyoda Oda, who lives in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, told Xinhua News Agency by e-mail on the 22nd that the Japanese government hastily decided to discharge the sea, violating its promise. "This is an atrocity that was promoted under the condition of insufficient explanation to the people."

  Nishi Nishi runs a hot spring hotel with a history of more than 300 years in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. He told reporters on the 23rd that about 70% of the hotel guests originally came from Tokyo, but after the nuclear accident, the number of guests from other places decreased, making it even more difficult for foreign tourists to see them.

  When asked if he was worried that the discharge of nuclear polluted water into the sea would further reduce the number of tourists, Rijian Xisheng said that 12 years after the nuclear accident, tourists finally began to increase. "This time, the news (nuclear polluted water discharged into the sea) spread all over the world, and it was Fukushima, and I felt very sad."

  In 2015, the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company promised to the Federation of Fisheries Cooperation Associations in Fukushima Prefecture in the form of documents that "no disposal will be carried out (for nuclear polluted water) without the understanding of relevant parties". Rijian Xisheng said that the government promised the fishermen in Fukushima not to discharge nuclear polluted water without authorization, and now it has decided to discharge it, so the government lied. He stressed that so far, the government has not gained the understanding of the people in Fukushima Prefecture. He showed reporters the data of a poll conducted by local TV stations on the 22nd, showing that more than 70% of Fukushima residents thought that the government’s explanation did not make them better understand the plan of discharging the sea.

  On the 23rd, the plaintiff group composed of residents of Fukushima Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture and Ibaraki Prefecture announced that they would file a lawsuit in the Fukushima District Court, and demanded that the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company cancel the plan of discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea.

  The plaintiff and attorney held a press conference in Iwaki on the afternoon of 23rd, and announced the news. In the complaint, the plaintiff pointed out that discharging pollutants into the sea violated the principle that those responsible for pollution should not diffuse pollutants and infringed on the residents’ right to a stable life. The attorney pointed out that the Japanese authorities and the Tokyo Electric Power Company had a major fault in the Fukushima nuclear accident, and now it is a "double harm" to deliberately discharge pollutants into the sea.
