Fifteen cross-border e-commerce emerging platforms you should know.

Fifteen cross-border e-commerce emerging platforms you should know.

When it comes to cross-border export platforms, I believe most people will blurt out AliExpress, Amazon, eBay and wish. Of course, they are indeed very important cross-border e-commerce platforms, but they are not just these cross-border e-commerce platforms. In fact, every cross-border e-commerce platform has its own industry advantages and loyal customer base, or has important or special influence in a certain country or region. For cross-border e-commerce, online channel diversification is an important way to expand network channels and scale. In addition, for some specific products and brands, it is also an important e-commerce strategy to select the target market for deep-rooted work. Then it is natural to use the local important targeted e-commerce platform. Below, Xiaobian summarizes the following fifteen emerging platforms for cross-border e-commerce from the network.

First, Souq

Souq.com, an Amazon e-commerce website in the Middle East. It has 6 million users and can reach 10 million independent visits every month. According to the current situation of the website, Souq has begun to consider expanding other businesses. For example, Souq has established its own logistics system QExpress and payment system PayFort. Moreover, Souq also launched its own brand of tablet computers. It is understood that Souq.com, Cobone.com and Sukar.com are the three largest local e-commerce websites in the Middle East.

It is understood that the UAE people are keen on surfing the Internet and playing mobile phones, and their Internet penetration rate and mobile phone holding rate have reached more than 70%. Not only the United Arab Emirates, but also people from rich Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar are keen on shopping online. It is expected that the scale of online shopping in the whole Middle East will increase rapidly in the next two or three years. About 5 out of 10 people in UAE buy goods and services through the Internet. It is expected that the e-commerce market in UAE will reach 10 billion US dollars in 2018.

Second, Lazada (Lai Zanda)

It is known as the largest online shopping mall in Southeast Asia. It is a company founded by Rocket Internet to build "Amazon in Southeast Asia". In April this year, it was invested and controlled by Ali for $1 billion. Sales of electronic products, clothes, appliances, books, cosmetics, etc., the market covers Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The company provides free delivery, free return within 14 days, and flexible payment methods. The growth rate of Internet penetration in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam has exceeded the world average.

By 2020, the e-commerce market in Southeast Asia will reach $20.4 billion. The sustained and rapid economic growth in Southeast Asia has cultivated a large number of middle classes and huge consumer demand. Southeast Asia is another most dynamic and potential consumer market after the United States, the European Union and China. This makes the big e-commerce companies in various countries salivate and want to get it quickly. Therefore, Southeast Asia is the main battlefield for major e-commerce companies at present.

Third, Newegg (new egg)

Newegg was founded in 2001, with its headquarters in Los Angeles, Southern California. Newegg is the leading online supermarket for computer, consumer electronics and communication products in the United States. Newegg gathers about 4,000 sellers and more than 25 million customers. At first, IT sold consumer electronic products and IT products, but now it has expanded to all categories, with 55,000 varieties. Attracting wealthy and internet-savvy men aged 18 to 35. The best-selling categories are automobile supplies, sporting goods and office supplies. It is particularly noteworthy that most consumers are men, but female consumers are also growing rapidly.

Fourth, Rakuten.com (Lotte)

Founded in 1997, it has become the largest e-commerce website in Japan, with a market value of $13.5 billion and an annual revenue of over $4 billion. Lotte is also one of the largest internet companies in the world. In the US market, Lotte spent $250 million to acquire Buy.com, and in 2013, the company changed its name to "Rakuten.com Shopping". Lotte Shopping has gathered 3,000 sellers, more than 80 million customers and 23 million products. The customer base is between 25 and 54, with 50% men and 50% women. Rakuten.com originally specialized in computer and electronic products, but now it provides sporting goods, health and beauty, home and gardening, jewelry and toys.

"Beating Amazon" is the ambitious ambition of Hiroshi Mikitani, the founder of Lotte in Japan. Because the penetration in Japan’s domestic market has reached saturation, it has become difficult to attract more consumers in Japan, and internationalization is the inevitable choice for Lotte to achieve this goal. In recent years, Lotte’s overseas market moves frequently, with its all-round layout in terms of logistics, payment, channels and investment, and its sphere of influence covers Asia, Europe and America. Therefore, for cross-border e-commerce and brand owners, Lotte is an online hypermarket that cannot be ignored.

Five, Bestbuy (Best Buy)

The failure of Best Buy’s online physical store made it enter the online market in 2011. Gathered more than 100 sellers. There are 1 billion visits every year. Different from other e-commerce platforms, only invited sellers can stay in the platform and products can appear in Best Buy stores for sale. But the products are only limited to consumer electronic products.

Sixth, Tesco

Britain’s largest food and groceries retailer. Its e-commerce website was established in 2012, gathering more than 50 sellers, 43 million club card members and 4 million visits per month. The huge offline customer base is being transferred to online. Competitors include Amazon, eBay and Lotte Play.com. Products include home and gardening, baby products, sports and leisure, clothing and jewelry. Only open to invited sellers.

Britain is the largest e-commerce market in Europe, and four of the Top10 European e-retailers are in the UK. At the same time, Britain is one of the largest cross-border e-commerce exporters in the world. In 2013, online retail in the UK was 91 billion pounds (about 148.78 billion US dollars), up 16% year-on-year. Online retailing in the UK will increase by 17% in 2014, reaching 107 billion pounds (about 174.98 billion US dollars).

Seven, Lotte Play.com

Founded in 1998, it is one of the largest online entertainment retailers in the UK. Gather more than 3000 sellers and 15 million customers. Originally selling games and media products, but now it has developed into multiple categories. It is the only e-commerce platform that allows retailers to customize their own storefronts, making it the third largest online market in Britain after Amazon and eBay.

Eight, La Redoute (Shangri-La Fu)

Founded in 2010, it is the leading online retailer in France and the third largest e-commerce market in Europe. Gather more than 1,000 vendors and 10 million customers. Covering 26 countries. Shangri-La Welfare is mainly aimed at women aged between 26 and 35. Its product categories include men’s and women’s wear, underwear, shoes and accessories, furniture, crafts and so on. But don’t sell second-hand products.

MercadoLivre (Mercado Network)

The largest C2C platform in Brazil is equivalent to Taobao in China. Making good use of this platform is conducive to understanding various market information such as Brazil’s price index, consumption trends and payment habits. Gathered more than 52,000 sellers and 50.2 million registered users. The number of visitors ranks among the TOP50 in the world. It covers 13 countries and regions (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Dominica, Paraguay, Venezuela and Portugal). In addition to the electronic trading platform, there is also the largest payment platform similar to Alipay in South America. As a result, countries such as Mexico and Argentina have no localized websites. At first, it was just an auction website, but today, it is mainly an online sales platform. Considering the rapidly increasing Internet penetration rate, MercardoLivre can provide sellers with a huge potential market opportunity in South America.

X. Trade Me

It is the largest online trading market in New Zealand with more than 3.1 million members. 1.4 billion web pages are displayed every month. New and second-hand store categories include baby products, books, clothing, computers and household goods. Originally a second-hand auction market, it was a replica of the early ebay, but now it sells new products just like the new ebay.

XI. Ozon

It is the largest e-commerce platform in Russia and currently accounts for 20% of the Russian e-commerce market. The goal in the next decade is to gain 80% market share of Russian e-commerce. As we all know, the early days of Taobao in China were full of opportunities, and many Taobao brands stood out. Today’s Ozon, just like Taobao in those days, I wonder how many China sellers have settled in the sub-platform? The more important local e-commerce platforms in Russia include Lamoda, Wildberries, KupiVIP (all fashions), Ulmart and Svyaznoy (consumer electronic products).

XII. Otto (Otto Group)

The leading provider of e-commerce solutions and services from Germany ranks second only to Amazon in the global comprehensive B2C ranking, and is also the world’s largest online clothing, apparel and daily necessities retail channel provider. Its online shop sells millions of kinds of goods. The products sold cover men’s and women’s clothing, household appliances, household goods, sports equipment, computers, video games and so on. Range of brands is widely sold, and basically all brands that can be seen in the market can be found in OTTO’s online shop. In addition, OTTO has its own brand, which is very cost-effective.

It is understood that clothing is by far the most important category. Women spend 25.8 billion euros (men 22.5 billion) online, which is the main source of online income. This may be related to family shopping. 53.4% of online shoppers are women. Two-thirds of online retailing in Germany is through third-party platforms ebay and Amazon, with few independent websites. Followed by multi-channel retailers. Clothing (11.6 billion), books (5.3 billion) and electronic products (4 billion) are the three most popular categories. The above-mentioned 39.1 billion euros do not include digital products. Online retail sales of digital products (such as air tickets and event tickets) totaled 10.6 billion euros, an increase of 9.3%. Germany is the country with the most popular online sales in the world. Although the number of online consumers in China is huge, it only accounts for 19% of the total population. And Germany is as high as 61%! , more than 60% in the United States. The importance of e-commerce and digital advertising in this country is beyond doubt.

XIII. Jumia

It is the largest e-commerce retail company in Nigeria, a big African country, and its goal is to build a local "Amazon" to sell electronic products, clothing, refrigerators and other commodities. Nigeria has a population of about 160 million, but there are few e-commerce websites and the number of physical supermarkets and shopping malls is extremely limited, which provides a huge potential market for e-commerce companies. The number of Internet users in Nigeria has reached more than 40 million, and it is growing rapidly. Meanwhile, the demand for online shopping in Nigeria is increasing. In recent years, various e-commerce websites have sprung up in Nigeria, including food, drinks, real estate, tourism and mobile phone transfer services. The competition pattern of e-commerce dominated by Jumia, Konga and Dealdey is taking shape, and the "African version of Ctrip" Hotels.ng is also rapidly seizing the online travel market.

Xiv. Gmarket

Gmarket is the largest comprehensive shopping website in Korea, ranking first in the total sales value of goods in the online retail market in Korea, mainly selling books, MP3 players, cosmetics, computers, home appliances and clothes. On May 7th, 2010, ebay announced that it would set up a joint venture company in Gmarket, a Korean e-commerce company, with ebay contributing 10 million US dollars. The joint venture company will help Gmarket explore the Japanese and Singapore markets.

15. Sears (Sears)

Sears is the third largest merchant retailer in the United States, and the top 500 Internet retailers rank eighth. Gather more than 10,000 sellers and as many as 110 million products. It provides self-management, big sellers and various marketing modes in advertising alliance. Categories include electronic products, household goods, outdoor life, tools, fitness, toys and so on. The most popular categories are lawn and garden.

Xiao Bian feels that it is not that the biggest platform has the best effect, but to choose a platform suitable for your own market segments and products. Sometimes, it is often those local platforms that you have never known that get twice the result with half the effort!

Essay: Talk about "America can’t be trusted" in Iranian eyes.

  Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, September 21st: Talk about "America can’t be trusted" in the eyes of Iranians.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Gao Wencheng

  Iranian President Leahy made it clear in an interview with the American media a few days ago: "We can’t trust the United States." This sentence is not only his personal opinion, but also the consensus of Iranian society. From a government spokesman to an ordinary librarian, Iranian society now widely believes that — — "the United States cannot be trusted."

  The formation of this social consensus is closely related to the United States’ treachery and arrogance on the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue. In July 2015, after 10 years of arduous negotiations, Iran reached the the Iranian nuclear deal with the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany. However, in 2018, despite the opposition of the international community, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iranian nuclear deal and once again held high the sanctions stick to "exert extreme pressure" on Iran.

This is the scene of the new round of political director-level meeting of the Joint Committee of the Iranian Nuclear Comprehensive Agreement, which was filmed in Vienna, Austria on June 12, 2021. Xinhua News Agency (Photo courtesy of the EU delegation in Vienna)

  The United States’ wanton breach of contract and indiscriminate sanctions have caused great harm to Iran’s development. After the Iranian nuclear deal was reached, the United States lifted sanctions against Iraq, and Iran’s daily average oil export once reached 2.5 million barrels, with a record economic growth rate of 13.6%. However, after the United States unilaterally broke the contract and re-imposed sanctions, Iran’s oil exports once plummeted to only 100,000 barrels per day, and the economy shrank sharply year after year.

  Affected by US sanctions, the Iranian currency Rial has depreciated sharply in just a few years. Before the sanctions were restarted, more than 30,000 rials could be exchanged for 1 US dollar, but now it takes 30 Wan Li rials to exchange for 1 US dollar. The import and production costs of Iranian goods have increased significantly, and the shortage of materials has led to soaring prices and difficult people’s livelihood. Since 2018, the overall price in Iran has increased by about 85%, and food prices have doubled. Many Iranian families can’t make ends meet, and their lives are very tight. During the Chinese New Year, many Iranian children can’t put on new clothes, and many housewives have to think about buying a piece of meat for half a day.

  The pain of people’s livelihood has caused Iranians to pay close attention to the Iranian nuclear talks and look forward to the early lifting of sanctions. However, the indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States on the Iranian nuclear deal’s resumption of performance have been going on for nearly a year and a half, with ups and downs in the middle, and no results have been achieved so far. The current U.S. government said one thing and did another. Although it verbally expressed its willingness to return to the Iranian nuclear deal, it inherited the previous government’s policy of "extreme pressure" on Iraq, and even during the negotiations, it continued to raise the threat tone and increase the sanctions against Iraq.

  The current American government’s words and deeds are different, which has deepened the Iranian society’s cognition that "the United States cannot be trusted." Leahy said that if Americans want to reach an agreement, "why should they impose new sanctions on Iran during the negotiation?" Because the United States reneges on its word and has a bad track record, Iran is now very cautious in negotiations. The Iranian side has repeatedly asked the US to make a guarantee that it will not violate the contract again. Mohammad Marandi, consultant of the Iranian negotiating team, made it clear that Iran believes that corresponding provisions should be set, and if the United States breaches the contract again, it must pay the price.

  Iranian society believes that "the United States cannot be trusted" is a silhouette of the increasing bankruptcy of American national credibility in the international arena. A number of polls show that the global influence of the United States is generally declining. In order to safeguard hegemonic self-interest, the United States has repeatedly broken the contract and "retired from the group" and provoked conflicts and confrontations. Although the United States often pretends to be so-called "democracy" and "human rights", it is hard to hide the evil consequences of its perverse actions on other countries and even the whole international community.

The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a typhoon blue warning at 06: 00 on August 31.

  The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a typhoon blue warning at 06: 00 on August 31:

  This year’s No.9 typhoon "Maysak" was upgraded from typhoon level to strong typhoon level last night. At 5 o’clock this morning (31st), its center is located in the northwest Pacific Ocean about 530 kilometers east of Naha, Okinawa, Japan, which is 21.6 degrees north latitude and 128.8 degrees east longitude. The maximum wind force near the center is 14 (42m/s), and the lowest pressure at the center is 950 hectopascals.

  It is estimated that "Mesak" will move to the north-west direction at a speed of 25-30 kilometers per hour, and gradually approach the southern waters of Ryukyu Islands. It will move into the southeast of the East China Sea in the early morning of September 1, and its intensity will continue to increase. The strongest can reach the super typhoon level (52-58 m/s, 16-17); After that, it turned to the north-east direction in the northern part of the East China Sea and moved to the south of the Korean Peninsula, and its intensity gradually weakened.

  Gale forecast: From 08: 00 on August 31st to 08: 00 on September 1st, there will be 7-9 winds in the east of Taiwan Province, most of the East China Sea, the northeastern coast of Taiwan Province Island and the coastal areas of Zhejiang, among which the winds in the southeastern part of the East China Sea are 10-12, and the winds in the nearby waters where the typhoon center passes can reach 13-17, with gusts of 17 and above.

  Defense guide:

  1. Relevant departments shall, in accordance with their responsibilities, do a good job in typhoon prevention and emergency rescue.

  2. Water operations and passing ships in relevant waters should return to Hong Kong to take shelter from the wind, strengthen port facilities, and prevent ships from anchoring, grounding and collision.

  3. Stop large-scale indoor and outdoor gatherings and dangerous outdoor operations such as high altitude.

  4. Reinforce or dismantle structures that are easy to be blown by the wind. Personnel should not go out at will. They should stay in windproof and safe places as far as possible, so as to ensure that the elderly and children stay in the safest place at home, and the dangerous people will be transferred in time. When the typhoon center passes by, the wind will decrease or stay still for a period of time. Remember that the strong wind will suddenly blow, and you should continue to stay in a safe place to avoid the wind, and the dangerous people will be transferred in time.

  5. Relevant areas should pay attention to prevent flash floods and geological disasters that may be caused by heavy precipitation.

The broad road to building a strong country and national rejuvenation-General Secretary leads us to write a new chapter in Chinese modernization.

  History witnesses a magnificent journey, and time engraves the footprints of struggle — —

  On the eve of the National Day, the Longlong (Longyan, Fujian, Longchuan, Guangdong) high-speed railway from Meizhou West to Longchuan West in Guangdong opened for operation, and the operating mileage of China’s railways exceeded 160,000 kilometers.

  75 years ago, People’s Republic of China (PRC) was born, and the people’s railway industry ushered in the dawn. Today, China has built the world’s largest high-speed railway network and advanced railway network. China High-speed Railway, with the name of "revival", entrusts the century-old dream of the Chinese nation and "also witnessed the leap of China’s comprehensive national strength".

  从赶上时代到引领时代,中国铁路的沧桑巨变,成为实现中华民族伟大复兴中国梦的生动缩影。

  “我以为,实现中华民族伟大复兴,就是中华民族近代以来最伟大的梦想”,2012年11月29日,在参观《复兴之路》展览时,最高领袖总书记饱含深情地说。

  2021年7月1日,中国共产党百年华诞,最高领袖总书记在天安门城楼上庄严宣告:“经过全党全国各族人民持续奋斗,我们实现了第一个百年奋斗目标,在中华大地上全面建成了小康社会”。

  站上新的历史起点,踏上新的赶考之路。

  “从现在起,中国共产党的中心任务就是团结带领全国各族人民全面建成社会主义现代化强国、实现第二个百年奋斗目标,以中国式现代化全面推进中华民族伟大复兴。”2022年10月16日,最高领袖总书记在党的二十大报告中郑重宣示。

  "Chinese-style modernization is the only correct way to build a strong country and national rejuvenation."

  "Beidou" networking, the stars shine in the sky. On September 19th this year, in xichang satellite launch center, the rocket carried the 59th and 60th Beidou navigation satellites straight through the sky and flew into space.

  From Beidou-1 to Beidou-3, from binary positioning to global networking, from covering the Asia-Pacific region to serving the world, Beidou system resonates with the national development and walks in the same direction as national rejuvenation.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader praised: "Beidou system has become one of the important achievements made by China in the past 40 years of reform and opening-up" and "fully embodies the political advantage of China’s socialist system in concentrating on doing great things".

  From the launch of China’s first artificial earth satellite, Dongfanghong-1, to the "Chang ‘e family" writing a wonderful chapter on exploring the moon, from the construction of China people’s own space station to the exploration of fire by "Heaven" and "xi he" day by day, the dream sky is chased again and again, marking the height of China Aerospace’s continuous refreshing dream pursuit and dream building.

  The space dream is an important part of the dream of a strong country.

  From standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong, the history of our party uniting and leading the people of China to pursue national rejuvenation for more than 100 years is also a history of constantly exploring the road to modernization. Chinese-style modernization is a great achievement made by the people of all ethnic groups in China under the leadership of our party through long-term exploration and practice.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has continued to advance on the existing basis, constantly achieved innovative breakthroughs in theory and practice, and successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization.

  Deepening understanding — —

  Since the new era, the Supreme Leader General Secretary has published a series of important expositions on Chinese modernization, with lofty ideas, rich connotations and profound thoughts. It is of great significance to further deepen the understanding of the connotation and essence of Chinese modernization, summarize the China characteristics, essential requirements and major principles of Chinese modernization, and initially construct a theoretical system of Chinese modernization, so as to make Chinese modernization clearer, more scientific and more feasible, and to comprehensively promote the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese modernization in the new era and new journey.

  On October 29th, 2020, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the second plenary session of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee: "Chinese-style modernization not only conforms to the reality of China, but also embodies the laws of socialist construction and the development of human society."

  On July 1, 2021, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the celebration of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC): "We adhere to and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics, promote the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization and ecological civilization, and create a new road of Chinese modernization and a new form of human civilization."

  The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China described the grand blueprint for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization, clearly summarized the China characteristics in five aspects of Chinese modernization, and profoundly revealed the scientific connotation of Chinese modernization. "This is not only a theoretical summary, but also a practical requirement, which points out a broad road for building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."

  "It is a major theoretical innovation of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the latest major achievement of scientific socialism to put forward and elaborate the Chinese modernization theory in depth." On February 7, 2023, at the opening ceremony of the seminar on studying and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stood at the strategic height of the overall development of the cause of the party and the country and profoundly expounded a series of major theoretical and practical issues of Chinese modernization. The general secretary pointed out: "Chinese modernization has broken ‘ Modernization = Westernization ’ The myth shows another picture of modernization, expands the path choice of developing countries towards modernization, and provides a Chinese plan for human exploration of a better social system. "

  On July 18th this year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized at the second plenary session of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee: "On the new journey, what do we rely on to further unite our efforts? It is to rely on Chinese modernization. "

  Continuously improve the strategy — —

  The correct use of strategy and tactics is the secret of our party’s success in creating glorious history, achieving great achievements in the future, overcoming various risks and challenges, and constantly moving from victory to victory. "To promote Chinese modernization, we must inherit, use and develop this secret of success well."

  Deeply implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education. Since the new era, China has taken science and technology self-reliance as the strategic support for national development, and the ranking of global innovation index has jumped from the 34th in 2012 to the 12th in 2023.

  Solidly promote the construction of xiong’an new area. In just over seven years, xiong’an new area has grown from scratch, from blueprint to real scene, and a high-level modern city is emerging;

  Promote the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road". The "Belt and Road" cooperation extends from Eurasia to Africa and Latin America, and from hard connectivity to soft connectivity, which has injected new momentum into world economic growth;

  … … … …

  "Chinese-style modernization has goals, plans and strategies", and major strategies have been implemented in depth, moving forward step by step, providing solid strategic support for Chinese-style modernization.

  Enriched in practice — —

  There is a deep concern in a water transfer line.

  In February 2013, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Yuangudui Village, Weiyuan County, Gansu Province, and walked into the low adobe house of the villager Magangjia, scooped up a scoop of water from the water tank at the root of the wall and tasted it. The taste of bitter salt water made the general secretary frown. Subsequently, the General Secretary made a special trip to visit the construction site of the Taohe Water Supply Project, telling him that "people’s livelihood is the most important and water control is the most important".

  Through the tunnel and over the mountains, the water supply project from Taotao brought gurgling water. On September 11th this year, the General Secretary visited Maiji District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. When he learned that nearly 6 million people had bid farewell to bitter salt water, he entrusted "to make this project play a greater role in the production and life of people along the line".

  You can’t get rid of poverty without solving the water problem. Poverty alleviation, heavy answer. In the past eight years, 98.99 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty under the current standards, and 832 state-level poverty-stricken counties have all taken off their hats, creating a miracle in history.

  Since the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has United and led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, promoted a series of transformative practices, achieved a series of breakthrough progress and achieved a series of landmark achievements, and promoted historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the state, especially eliminating the problem of absolute poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way, providing a more perfect institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation and a more active spiritual force for Chinese modernization.

  From the historical leap of "more ambition for sacrifice, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky", we can feel the power of China, the spirit of China and the image of China in the new era. Since the founding of New China 75 years ago, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s economic strength, comprehensive national strength and international influence have achieved a historic leap. The passenger and cargo transportation volume of railways and highways and the cargo throughput of ports rank first in the world, and the image of a big country with self-confidence, self-reliance, openness and tolerance is deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

  The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a strategic plan to promote Chinese modernization: "Basically realize socialist modernization from 2020 to 2035; From 2035 to the middle of this century, China will be built into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power. "

  "Practice has proved that Chinese-style modernization is feasible and stable, and it is the only correct way to build a strong country and national rejuvenation." On the new journey, we must cherish, persist, constantly expand and deepen, unswervingly follow this broad road, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization.

  "High-quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way"

  "The general secretary cares about ‘ Hand-torn steel ’ There has been new progress. " Liao Xi, chief engineer of China Baowu Shanxi Taigang Stainless Steel Precision Strip Co., Ltd., introduced that "hand-torn steel" can be "folded and used" for more than 200,000 times when used on folding screen mobile phones.

  In 2017, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader walked into the production workshop of Shanxi Taigang for the first time, and Liao Xi was struggling to explore "tearing steel by hand". The ardent expectations of the General Secretary encouraged him to get up the courage to innovate.

  In 2020, the general secretary went to Taigang again, picked up a piece of "hand-torn steel" and sent a message that "the scientific and technological innovation of high-end manufacturing industry will continue to climb the peak".

  Looking at high-quality development from a piece of "hand-torn steel" Driven by innovation, industrial upgrading, "hand-torn steel" is widely used in aerospace, precision instruments and other industries, and "combining rigidity with flexibility" witnesses quality change, efficiency change and power change.

  Since the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has made a series of major decisions and arrangements, and promoting high-quality development has become the consensus and conscious action of the whole party and society, and high-quality development has become the main theme.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "High-quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way." "Realizing high-quality development", as one of the "essential requirements of Chinese modernization", was clearly written into the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress.

  "High-quality development is a development that can well meet the people’s growing needs for a better life, a development that embodies the new development concept, a development in which innovation becomes the first driving force, coordination becomes an endogenous feature, green becomes a universal form, openness becomes the only way, and sharing becomes the fundamental purpose." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly explained.

  — — Innovation and development, the "first driving force" is stronger.

  Developing new quality productivity is the inherent requirement and important focus of promoting high quality development.

  After important meetings and important inspections, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward a series of practical requirements for the development of new-quality productive forces, and made a summary in theory. "New-quality productive forces are advanced productive forces that play a leading role in innovation, get rid of the traditional economic growth mode and productive forces development path, have the characteristics of high technology, high efficiency and high quality, and conform to the new development concept."

  To be "new", to be "quality", and to develop new quality productivity is surging.

  Transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the added value of China’s equipment manufacturing industry above designated size has increased by 8.7% annually, and the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry has steadily increased.

  New kinetic energy and new advantages are cultivated and strengthened. The output of new energy vehicles, lithium batteries and photovoltaic products has increased rapidly, and the "three new" economy has flourished.

  — — Coordinated development has a broader space for development.

  Since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has presided over nine symposiums to promote the implementation of regional development strategies.

  He presided over a symposium to comprehensively promote ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, emphasizing "to continuously improve the coordinated pattern of ecological protection in the Yellow River Basin".

  Presided over the symposium on promoting the development of the western region in the new era, demanding that "we should consistently do a good job in implementing the policies and measures of the CPC Central Committee to promote the development of the western region."

  He presided over the symposium on promoting the rise of the central region in the new era and looked forward to "struggling to write a new chapter in the rise of the central region in the Chinese modernization drive."

  Presided over the symposium to further promote the integration and development of the Yangtze River Delta, demanding "close integration and high quality".

  The fourth symposium on the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt was held in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, exhorting "to seek long-term potential, long-term strategy and build a long-term foundation".

  At the symposium on promoting the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China in the new era, we encouraged "I believe that in the new journey of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, Northeast China will certainly be able to regain its glory and create new achievements".

  At the symposium on strengthening the comprehensive prevention and control of desertification and promoting the construction of key ecological projects such as the "Three North", we called for "putting ‘ Sanbei ’ The project has become a fully functional and unbreakable green Great Wall and ecological security barrier in northern Xinjiang. "

  Hosted a symposium on promoting the construction of xiong’an new area with high standards and high quality, and further promoted the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, emphasizing "firmly grasping the functional orientation, mission and principle requirements of the CPC Central Committee on xiong’an new area" and "firmly grasping the function of resolving Beijing’s non-capital ‘ Bull’s nose ’ " .

  Since the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has attached great importance to the coordinated development of regions, and the regional plates have integrated and interacted, and the balance of development has gradually increased, forming a new pattern of coordinated development.

  — — Green development, the development background is more distinct.

  Wuliangsuhai is a pearl embedded in the "zigzag bend" of the Yellow River. Once, the water quality here deteriorated and the ecology deteriorated. After systematic management, birds are flying and reeds are swaying.

  In June 2023, the General Secretary came to Wuliangsuhai. Local responsible comrades reported to the General Secretary the change of governance ideas: following the general secretary’s concept of systematic governance, putting mountains, water, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand together for overall consideration, the pattern and effect have obviously changed.

  Under the guidance of the supreme leader’s ecological civilization thought, the construction of beautiful China has made great strides, and the development answer sheet of the new era is greener. Compared with 2012, China’s energy consumption per unit GDP decreased by 26.8% in 2023.

  — — Open development, internal and external linkages are smoother.

  On September 12th this year, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader sent a congratulatory letter to China International Fair for Trade in Services in 2024, stating: "China is willing to work with other countries in the world to conform to the general trend of economic globalization, share opportunities, discuss cooperation and jointly promote development".

  Experience VR skiing and learn from table tennis robot … … 85 countries and international organizations set up exhibitions. Fruitful results reflect the high-quality development of service trade.

  Only an open China will become a modern China. The scale of China’s trade in goods increased from 24.4 trillion yuan in 2012 to 41.8 trillion yuan in 2023, and the construction of a trade power was solidly promoted. From 2013 to 2023, the total import and export volume of goods increased by 4.0% annually.

  — — Sharing development, development results are more inclusive.

  In June this year, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Ningxia and asked about the current situation of Suining Town. "I heard that it is now well built and has a characteristic industry. Such a hard place in the past has become a place where grapes and wine are produced, which is very emotional and gratifying! "

  In April 1997, the supreme leader comrade, then deputy secretary of Fujian Provincial Committee, came to Ningxia and pressed the "fast forward button" for the marriage between Fujian and Ningxia and the integration of mountains and seas, which gave birth to a brand-new model of cooperative development between the east and the west.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the new urbanization with people as the core has been further promoted, and the rural revitalization strategy has been implemented steadily. From 2013 to 2023, the GDP of the central and western regions increased by 6.9% and 7.1% respectively, which was faster than that of the eastern region.

  "Adhering to innovative development, coordinated development, green development, open development and shared development is a profound change that has a bearing on China’s overall development." Firmly grasping the primary task of high-quality development, the great ship of the Chinese nation, Fuxing, will surely sail and sail.

  "Chinese modernization, people’s livelihood is great"

  An apple sees its heart.

  In February 2015, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader returned to Liangjiahe, Shaanxi Province, and went to see the apple plantation at the height of the mountain ridge, swearing that "the apple industry must be firmly grasped";

  In October 2022, the general secretary came to the apple orchard in Nan ‘gou Village, Yan ‘an, praising "this is agricultural modernization, and you have found a suitable industrial development direction";

  In September this year, the general secretary came to Nanshan Huaniu Apple Base in Maiji District, Tianshui City, wishing the villagers’ lives "as prosperous as apples";

  … … … …

  Apple’s story reflects the deep feelings of the people’s leaders for the people and reflects the unswerving initial intention of the century-old party.

  The dream of a well-off society, the dream of a strong country and the Chinese dream are, in the final analysis, the "happy dreams" of ordinary people.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Chinese modernization means people’s livelihood. All the work of the party and the government is for the people to live a happier life. "

  On November 15, 2012, when the 18th CPC The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) met with Chinese and foreign journalists, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader described people’s expectations with 10 words "Geng": "Our people love life and expect better education, more stable jobs, more satisfactory income, more reliable social security, higher-level medical and health services, more comfortable living conditions and a more beautiful environment, and expect children to grow up and work better. The people’s yearning for a better life is our goal. "

  Since the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has always focused on people’s livelihood concerns, adhered to the people first, life first, and grasped the bottom line of people’s livelihood. People’s livelihood security is effective and high-quality development is more temperature-sensitive.

  — — Focusing on solving the people’s urgent problems, this livelihood answer sheet is heavy.

  Consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation, the general secretary "can’t worry at all times." When I visited Gansu in September this year, I emphasized "preventing the rural population from returning to poverty on a large scale"; During an inspection tour in Shandong in May this year, he pointed out that "promoting agricultural efficiency, increasing farmers’ income and increasing rural vitality"; In December, 2023, I visited Guangxi, and asked for "establishing a normalized assistance mechanism for rural low-income population" … …

  "Picking more than 100 kilograms of dried pepper on an acre of land can earn 40,000 to 50,000 yuan on 10 acres of land, and the income is stable." Du Shewa, a poverty-stricken household in Shaping Village, Wudu District, Longnan City, Gansu Province, is credited. In the first half of this year, the number of people out of poverty reached 32.74 million, and the per capita disposable income of farmers in poverty-stricken counties continued to grow rapidly.

  The production and life of the affected people, General Secretary Nianzi is here. Concerned about the post-earthquake recovery and reconstruction of Jishishan, and exhorted to "do a good job in the life support and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction of the affected people in the earthquake-stricken areas of Jishishan to ensure the safety and warmth of the people for the winter"; The deployment of flood control and drought relief work requires "ensuring normal production and living order and minimizing disaster losses".

  Jishishan County, Gansu Province has completed the maintenance and reconstruction of disaster-stricken schools in an all-round way, and Hebei has included the restoration and reconstruction of post-disaster rural houses in the province’s 20 livelihood projects … … Rebuild their homes and make the lives of ordinary people better.

  Employment is the most basic livelihood. In June, 2022, in Yibin College, Sichuan, the general secretary exhorted "to further tap job resources and do detailed employment guidance services"; In August 2020, during an inspection tour in Anhui, the General Secretary called for "more supporting measures to help enterprises, reduce burdens, stabilize jobs and expand employment"; In February 2019, when visiting the "courier brother", the general secretary emphasized "efforts to create more jobs".

  Firmly stabilize the employment "rice bowl". Since the new era, the employment priority strategy has run through all aspects of economic development, the employment situation has remained stable, and a large country with a population of more than 1.4 billion has achieved relatively full employment.

  To safeguard and improve people’s livelihood, we will do whatever the masses think.

  The bottom line is the policy. About 70% of the national fiscal expenditure is used for people’s livelihood. In 2024, the central government allocated a budget of 66.7 billion yuan for employment subsidies and 408.5 billion yuan for the transfer of common financial affairs in the field of education.

  Social security is more powerful. The world’s largest medical and health service system, the world’s largest social security system and the world’s largest quality education system have been built. The child welfare and minors protection systems have been continuously improved, and China’s characteristic old-age service system has achieved remarkable results.

  Residents’ pockets are more solid. In 2023, the per capita disposable income of the national residents reached 39,218 yuan, which was 76 times higher than that in 1949 after deducting the price factor. The income growth rate of residents was faster than the economic growth rate, and the income growth rate of rural residents was faster than that of urban residents.

  — — Better meet the people’s needs for high-quality life, this livelihood answer sheet is full of color.

  The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "unswervingly improve people’s livelihood and well-being, and closely integrate high-quality development with meeting people’s needs for a better life".

  From "with or without" to "with or without", the consumption structure of residents has been optimized and upgraded. Smart products fly into ordinary people’s homes, and green and low-carbon goods become the new fashion. In 2023, the national Engel coefficient was 29.8%, which was 34.1 percentage points lower than the 63.9% in 1978.

  From "material sufficiency" to "spiritual abundance", there are many bright spots in the service consumption market. Snow, ice, fire at night, and cultural craze, new scenes have ignited new impetus for consumption, and residents’ consumption has changed from physical consumption to service consumption that reflects the needs of a better life.

  "Along the way, we have relied on the people to hand over one answer sheet after another that goes down in history. Facing the future, we still have to rely on the people to create new historical achievements. " When the 20th CPC The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) met with Chinese and foreign journalists, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader had a firm tone.

  "To turn the blueprint of Chinese modernization into reality lies in further deepening reform in an all-round way."

  Reform and opening-up, the most striking feature and the most magnificent weather in contemporary China.

  Chinese-style modernization is constantly advancing in the reform and opening up, and it will certainly open up broad prospects in the reform and opening up.

  The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China established the central task of building a socialist modernization power in an all-round way, realizing the goal of the second century, and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization, and made strategic arrangements for promoting Chinese modernization.

  "To put these strategic arrangements into practice and turn the blueprint for Chinese modernization into reality, the fundamental thing is to further comprehensively deepen reforms, constantly improve various institutional mechanisms, and provide institutional guarantees for promoting Chinese modernization." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed.

  "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Accelerating the Comprehensive Green Transformation of Economic and Social Development" was issued;

  The Sixth Meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform deliberated and adopted documents such as the Division of Work Plan for the Implementation of the Important Reform Measures of the Third Plenary Session of the Twentieth CPC Central Committee by the relevant departments of the central and state organs, and the Opinions on Implementing the Promotion Strategy of the Pilot Free Trade Zone;

  The 11th meeting of the 14th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) voted to adopt the decision on gradually delaying the statutory retirement age;

  … … … …

  After the closing of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, a series of major reform measures were launched one after another, which further deepened the reform in an all-round way.

  — — Anchor the overall goal of further deepening the reform in an all-round way and promote the comprehensive deepening of the reform to March in breadth and depth.

  The goal is the direction, the goal is the guidance, and the goal is the motivation.

  The Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee made it clear: "The overall goal of further comprehensively deepening the reform is to continue to improve and develop the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity."

  "The Decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee anchored the goal of basically realizing socialist modernization in 2035 and put forward ‘ Seven focuses ’ The goal of sub-sector reform requires the completion of the reform tasks proposed in the Decision by 2029, which provides a timetable, road map and task book for further comprehensive deepening of reform. " Ding Yuanzhu, a professor at the Teaching and Research Department of Social and Ecological Civilization of the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said.

  Anchor modernization and deepen reform. Focusing on building a high-level socialist market economic system, Several Measures on Strengthening Support for Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods, and Five-year Action Plan for Deeply Implementing People-oriented New Urbanization Strategy have been issued one after another. Focus on the construction of beautiful China, the work plan for accelerating the construction of a dual control system for carbon emissions, and the guiding opinions on further improving financial support for the green, low-carbon and high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt … …

  On the new journey, the policy has continued to exert its strength, and all localities have joined forces to gather the most extensive reform forces.

  — — Focusing on the theme of promoting Chinese modernization, we will further comprehensively deepen the reform strategy.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has made strategic arrangements for comprehensively promoting Chinese modernization. To further deepen the reform in an all-round way, we must closely focus on the theme of promoting Chinese modernization. "

  The "Decision" of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee put forward more than 300 important reform measures, all of which involved system, mechanism and system level, covering all aspects of promoting Chinese modernization.

  The birthplace of rural reform, Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, has also welcomed a bumper harvest. There are even live broadcast rooms in the field, and it is also a new farm work to bring goods. "From ‘ Red handprint ’ , to ‘ Red notebook ’ , and then to today’s ‘ Dividend ’ We explore the development of a new rural collective economy and create more industries that enrich the people. " Li Jinzhu, member of the Standing Committee of Fengyang County Committee and first secretary of Xiaogang Village Party Committee, said.

  One leads to its outline, and all eyes are open. On the new journey, all localities and departments focus on promoting the theme of Chinese-style modernization, focusing on the right direction, keeping the right and innovating, enhancing the accuracy, synergy and effectiveness of further deepening reform, and making every effort to promote Chinese-style modernization to be stable and far-reaching.

  — — Adhere to the system construction as the main line and promote all aspects of the system to be more mature and more stereotyped.

  The negative list system ushered in a new upgrade. Recently, the Opinions on Improving the Market Access System issued by the Central Office and the State Council put forward market access management measures set by laws, administrative regulations, the State Council decisions and local regulations, and temporary market access management measures set by government regulations of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government according to law, all of which were included in the national unified negative list of market access.

  On September 6th, Hangzhou-Wenzhou high-speed railway was put into operation. This privately-owned high-speed railway line added another stroke to the "Yangtze River Delta on the track". The Ministry of Commerce and other departments recently issued a notice to clarify the pilot work of expanding opening up in the medical field.

  A stable system leads to a stable country, and a strong system leads to a strong country. On the new journey, all regions and departments adhere to the system construction as the main line, strengthen the top-level design and overall planning, break the system at the same time, build a fundamental system, improve the basic system and innovate important systems.

  — — Do a good job in the implementation of reform with the spirit of nailing nails, and turn the strategic deployment of further comprehensive deepening reform into a powerful force to promote Chinese modernization.

  The Yellow River has nine twists, and the general secretary has far-reaching plans. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has visited the provinces and regions of the Yellow River Basin for more than 30 times. "Going through it is not just to have a look, but to have thinking, ideas, deployment, action, integration of knowledge and action, and to be an activist!" The general secretary stressed.

  "This year, the Yellow River has been continuously flowing for 25 years, which proves once again that to do a good job in the Yellow River, we must persevere and work hard. Guided by the spirit of the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, we will improve the level of water conservation and intensive utilization, improve the disaster prevention and mitigation system, and keep the mother river alive forever." Ma Yonglai, deputy director of the Yellow River Water Resources Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources, said.

  "if you see it, you will unswervingly grasp it." To be a firm doer and doer of Chinese modernization, we should work hard to turn the grand blueprint of Chinese modernization into a beautiful reality step by step.

Test drive BMW 5 Series and i5: Talk about the differences and feelings.

At the beginning of the year, when BMW’s brand-new 5 Series went on the market, we experienced the static state and talked about the price and basic experience. Half a year has passed, and we have a chance to get a test drive. The key is to come back twice at a time. Let’s take a look at BMW’s brand-new 5-series petrol-electric twin car today. How about driving it?

Because of pure electricity, there are some minor differences in design between the i5 side and the fuel version. Anyway, I will look at the 5 Series in a few months, and I don’t know if you have adapted to the changes in the design of this generation of models. In fact, it’s still beautiful. If you compare two static pictures, you will prefer the "M design suit", which is very sporty.

Of course, the aesthetic thing varies from person to person, which is also the most heated point that many brothers discuss after seeing this generation of 5 series design. The 5 series, which was originally more focused on administrative positioning, has now changed its skin. Has the taste of business changed with it?

Around this problem, we opened the brand-new 5 series, sat and sat, and concluded that it was more business than before.

Say sit first. The size of the entire rear seat is wider, the sense of package after sitting is stronger, and the quietness during driving is improved. The sealing strips of the four doors of the whole car are treated with double layers here, which is the same in the design of oil and electricity vehicles. Of course, i5 is definitely quieter when it runs because of pure electricity.

Chassis, pure oil 5 series side, the setting of mechanical suspension further depends on comfort, the filter array of suspension is clean and light, but after all, it is a BMW, which should have a sense of road confidence, but it is still reserved. Relatively speaking, i5 rear axle is equipped with a set of air suspension as standard. Although you can’t actively adjust the hardness, you can adjust the TA adaptively, and the dynamic real-time comfort is completely OK. Even if we just talk about comfort, the performance of the i5 will be better, and the floating feeling of the whole chassis will further erase some redundant information on the road. The difference in driving texture between the two cars can be so great, which I never expected before. Everyone will feel it when they have a chance to try it together.

Switch to the front row. From the driving point of view, the power of the new 5 Series is still a combination of 2.0T divided high and low power, and then 8AT. However, this time, a new 48V light mixing system was added to the powertrain of the pure oil model. I talked to the product engineer at the scene and got a reply that the 48V system was added to solve some slight setbacks of the previous generation 5 Series at low speed and low gear. From the actual sense of body, you can’t feel the intervention of the small motor of this 48V system at all, and the power input in the whole area is very smooth.

Now, if you put the driving mode in comfort, the dynamic response to sudden acceleration of this 5-Series is slower than before, a little slower than BMW. But if you keep cruising or cruising, and the power is smooth enough to burst in comfortable mode, you will be surprised to find out whether the engine in front is running. In short, according to your different driving demands, the new 5 Series in comfort mode will give you a very contrast.

Ok, if you say this model doesn’t work. It’s very simple, either directly cut the sports mode and return to the most familiar BMW’s dynamic response state, or the left-hand paddle of the steering wheel has a "Boost" mode. If you dial it for 10 seconds, you will release higher torque output to complete some series of lane-changing overtaking. Similarly, this function point is the same on i5. The difference is that after the "Boost" mode is triggered, the performance of the i5 motor will be more intense.

In addition, there is another interesting point. This time, the brand-new 5 Series has engaged in a set of dynamic sound simulation. TA will send back an extra sound wave from the stereo of the whole car through the algorithm according to the size and intensity of your oil. To tell the truth, it is suggested that the owners of the cash 5 series should turn this thing off. For one thing, this is not a new function, and for another, it is a little noisy, which doesn’t quite conform to the style of the 5 series.

After talking about some basic driving experiences, let’s talk about assisted driving. The new 5 Series (fuel version) comes standard with L2-level assisted driving. Compared with the crazy volume hardware specifications in the field of intelligent electric vehicles in China, BMW still relies on the combination scheme of vision and short-wave radar to provide assisted driving function, and also realizes high-speed navigation assistance based on vehicle navigation system.

Screenshot 2024-05-23 00.32.59

We won’t talk much about the basic car-following acceleration and deceleration, active braking, etc. Let’s talk about one point: "eyes changing lanes", which is an exclusive configuration on the 530Li exclusive model. Briefly explain the triggering logic and process of this function to the brothers. When you start the navigation-assisted driving in the highway scene, if the vehicle detects a slow train ahead, the system will start scanning the surrounding lane environment. After confirming that it is possible to change lanes, the system will prompt you through the HUD on the front block to confirm whether to change lanes. At this time, if you think it’s okay to change lanes, then look at the left and turn left, and stare at the right and turn right.

Compared with the past, BMW’s auxiliary driving steering column confirmed the lane change operation, and further realized the "non-inductive" operation on the new 5 series. I know that there may be a fraternity saying that all the new forces have changed by themselves, so you can say that this is BMW’s conservatism, but from another angle, it can also be said that BMW is treating cutting-edge technology and security. It not only ensures the "no contact" in operation, but also ensures the driver’s safety confirmation of issuing operation instructions.

Screenshot 2024-05-23 00.33.12

In fact, from the configuration list of the new 5 Series, the assisted driving project should be said to be the biggest improvement point of this generation of 5 Series in vehicle configuration. At least on the previous generation 5 Series, the core standard is only fixed-speed cruise and active braking, and high-order adaptive cruise needs to be optional. Then, on this generation of models, in addition to the aforementioned "eye lane change", other functions related to assisted driving are standard, including the tracking and reversing function previously packaged in the option.

Screenshot 2024-05-23 00.33.49

Generally speaking, although the new 5 Series is young or sporty in design, its internal positioning is still a stable administrative and commercial attribute. The updated design can be regarded as that the consumer group of the 5 series is younger at this stage, or that the young people at the beginning have reached the age of buying the 5 series. So make some changes in the whole exterior and interior, which is timely and in line with the wind. Then as long as you get into the car and drive, no matter the smoothness of power, the atmosphere and texture in the car, the smell that the 5 Series should have is all there.

Spring Festival: a young and ancient festival

  Author: Zhang Bo (researcher, Institute of Beijing Studies, Beijing Union University)

  "Hundred years first, four seasons spring first." Spring Festival is a traditional New Year in Chinese.

  The Spring Festival is the original culture of the Chinese nation, but it is not the exclusive culture of the Chinese nation. As early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Spring Festival had spread to East Asian countries. In recent years, with the increasing spread and influence of Chinese civilization, people in more countries and regions have fallen in love with the Spring Festival, celebrated it, and even listed it as their own legal holiday. On December 22nd, 2023, the 78th UN General Assembly adopted a resolution by consensus, which designated the Spring Festival (Lunar New Year) as a UN holiday, and the Year of China went further to the world. This not only makes Chinese excellent traditional culture better benefit mankind, but also provides stronger support and motivation for the continuation of the Spring Festival.

   1. From "Lunar New Year’s Day" to "Spring Festival"

  At the beginning of the founding of the Republic of China in 1912, the Gregorian calendar era was adopted in order to connect with the west. Since then, there have been two New Year phenomena in China. January 1st of the Gregorian calendar is the New Year, and the first day of the first lunar month is also the New Year. In 1914, Yuan Shikai’s government made a put in order of traditional festivals, and renamed the Lunar New Year’s Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Winter Solstice Festival as Spring Festival, Summer Festival, Autumn Festival and Winter Festival respectively, thus forming a complete festival sequence of spring, summer, autumn and winter. For more than 100 years, four festivals have been passed down, but among the four new festival names, only "Spring Festival" has been recognized by the people and become the standard name of the Lunar New Year.

  In different contexts, the Spring Festival often has different meanings. Sometimes it only refers to the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, which marks the coming of the new year. In history, there are many sayings such as "the first month of the first month", "Zhengdan", "Zhengri", "Yuanzheng", "New Year’s Day", "Sanyuan", "Zhengchao" and "Yuanchen". But more often, the Spring Festival is equivalent to what we often call "Chinese New Year" and "Chinese New Year", which is the sum of a series of festivals with the year-end and the beginning of the year as the core and around the annual cycle. "One night is even two years old, and the five are divided into two years." Chinese New Year takes New Year’s Eve as the dividing line, including year-end and early year. The year-end activities take the busy year as the theme, and the early year as the theme, which mainly includes the New Year, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day (the first day of the first month), Lantern Festival, etc. It is a happy and peaceful festive day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

   2. Coming from the depths of history

  As the first year of the year, the origin of the Spring Festival is closely related to the formation of the concept of "year", and the formation of the concept of "year" is inseparable from the progress of the calendar.

  As a method of arranging years, months and days, there are three kinds of calendars in astronomical sense, namely, solar calendar, lunar calendar and yin-yang calendar. To put it simply, the solar calendar takes the tropic year (the period of the earth’s revolution around the sun, and the modern measured value is about 365.2422 days) as the basic period, with 365 days in a normal year and 366 days in a leap year, such as the current Gregorian calendar. The lunar calendar is based on the first lunar month (the cycle of moon phases changing), and 12 months make up a year, which is 354 days or 355 days. Now Arab countries use the lunar calendar. In China, as early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, a combined calendar of yin and yang was formed, which took into account the tropic year and the first lunar month. According to the Book of Yao Dian in Shangshu, Emperor Yao appointed wise men from the Xihe and Heshi families to observe the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars, master its laws, and teach the people the time. "There are six days in three hundred and sixty years, and the leap month will set the age at four o’clock." It shows that at that time, it has been able to determine that a year is 366 days, and it can adjust Yin and Yang by setting leap months, so that each month conforms to the changes of the moon’s profit and loss, and each year conforms to the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

  Before Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, "Nian" had different names. "Er Ya Shi Tian" records: "Xia Yue Sui, Shang Yue Si, Zhou Yue Nian, Tang Yu Yue Zai." Among them, the original meaning of "Nian" is the bumper harvest of crops, and Oracle Bone Inscriptions’s word "Nian" is the pictograph of people carrying grain. Shuowen says, "Year is ripe." When the grain is ripe once a year, people take the period of grain maturity as a time unit, which is called year. With the concept of "year", we can also determine the beginning of the year.

  The ancients in China attached great importance to the beginning of time, and thought it was of fundamental significance to the construction of order. As the saying goes, "The beginning is the end, but the order is not perfect". Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties took the month of establishing Yin (January in the summer calendar), the month of establishing ugliness (December in the summer calendar) and the month of establishing children (November in the summer calendar) as their own "year beginning", which laid a time foundation for the formation of Chinese New Year customs. However, due to the lack of documentary records, it is difficult for us to know exactly how people celebrated the New Year before Xia and Shang Dynasties. By the Zhou Dynasty, rich Chinese New Year customs had been formed. The people of Zhou Dynasty began with November in the summer calendar, and the year-end sacrifice, celebration and auspicious activities in the first month constituted the basic contents of the New Year at that time.

  Year-end sacrifice is a series of ceremonies including wax sacrifice and La Worship, which not only rewards various gods, but also misses and gives thanks to ancestors.

  About the wax sacrifice, there is a detailed account in the Book of Rites. The purpose of wax sacrifice is mainly to repay the blessing of the gods. The so-called "ancient gentleman will repay it". The objects of sacrifice mainly include: Xian Si (Shennong), Si Si (Hou Ji), Baigu (the seeds of Baigu), Nong (the agricultural official who manages farming and teaches agricultural technology), postal list (the temporary place where the farmland official who supervises farming lives and field signs), animals (such as cats and tigers), and Fang (the dam). Wax sacrifice occupied a very important position in people’s life in the pre-Qin period. The dialogue between Confucius and his disciple Zi Gong recorded in the Book of Rites Miscellaneous Notes can reflect this point: "Zi Gong is concerned with wax, and Confucius said,’ Is it a pleasure to give?’ Right:’ If all the people in a country are crazy, they will be given pleasure in the unknown.’ Although Zigong could not understand the joy of wax, the sight of "people in a country are crazy" is enough to show the great significance of wax sacrifice to the people.

  La Worship is also a year-end sacrifice, the object of which is the ancestor and the God of Five Sacrifices. The Five Sacrifices refer to doors, households, wells, stoves, and strollers. People worship them and thank them for providing important guarantees for people’s daily lives. The holding of wax festival and La Worship marked the end of agricultural production, which is of great significance to mark the transformation of life at the age of 20. After that, people will hold feasts to celebrate. What is depicted between the lines in the last chapter of The Book of Songs in July is the scene of feasting and celebrating, lively and peaceful, and happy New Year.

  In the Zhou Dynasty, New Year’s Day was often called "the auspicious day of the first month", and a grand ceremony was held in the court, in which hundreds of officials of governors appeared before the Emperor, and the Emperor held a banquet to commend and reward their contributions.

  The auspicious day of the first month is also a day to announce government decrees and laws and educate the people. The government will hang all kinds of policies and laws that need the people to know for 10 days above Wei (a tall building outside the palace gate of the emperor and vassal) for the people to see. Local officials spread all kinds of decrees to the grass-roots level of society so that everyone can check them against each other. At the beginning of the year, the Zhou Dynasty took advantage of the opportunity of the beginning of the new year and the newer years to issue decrees and promote enlightenment to ensure the orderly operation of the whole society in the new year.

  Undoubtedly, the custom of Chinese New Year was formed in the Zhou Dynasty, and the Spring Festival has experienced at least 3,000 years of life. In 104 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty promulgated the taichu calendar, and re-established the month of the founding of Yin (January in the summer calendar) as the first month. As a result, January 1st in the summer calendar became the first day of the year, and the year-end year-end year-end activities were moved to a new time accordingly. After more than two thousand years, the Chinese New Year basically started on January 1st in the summer calendar, which is still the case today.

   3. Why did it last for thousands of years?

  14,500 years ago, Zong Yi, a man from the Southern Dynasty, described the custom activities of the Spring Festival at that time in the Chronicle of Jingchu: "The first day of the first month is the day of three yuan, and the Historical Records also call it the end of the month. When the cock crows, firecrackers and grass are set off before the court, so as to rid the mountain of evil spirits. All ages know that they are dressed in clothes, and they pay tribute to each other. Pepper and cypress wine and peach soup. Tu Su wine, gum tooth. Play a five-spice plate. Apply it to the powder, but take the ghost pill. One chicken each. Making a peach board is called fairy wood. Every time you drink alcohol, you start from an early age. " In this paper, it was mentioned that drinking pepper and cypress wine, drinking peach soup, drinking Tu Su wine, chewing gum, taking five spicy dishes, taking ghost pills and hanging mahogany boards on the door were all the most popular custom activities at that time, but they were not seen in today’s Spring Festival life. As for firecrackers, although they are still in use now, their shapes are quite different, and the purpose of setting off firecrackers is no longer "to repel evil spirits." This obvious difference between ancient and modern times clearly reveals the changes of the Spring Festival.

  In fact, as long as we look at the literature records of different historical periods, it is not difficult to find that the Spring Festival has been changing. Not only the customs of festivals are changing, but also the duration, broadcasting space and name of festivals are changing greatly. However, despite all the changes, the Spring Festival is not fade away. In fact, the Spring Festival has always maintained a strong vitality. It spans time and space, from the pre-Qin period to the present, and has become a long-lasting and endless cultural tradition.

  There are profound social, political and cultural reasons for the endless Spring Festival.

  First, the Spring Festival is rooted in the endless fertile soil of Chinese civilization, which is the original culture of the Chinese nation. The Chinese civilization, which has lasted for 5,000 years and has developed to this day in a national form, is the foundation for the continued existence of the Spring Festival. If Chinese civilization is compared to a leafy tree, then the Spring Festival is a beautiful flower bred by this tree. Trees grow vigorously and flowers bloom every year.

  Second, the long-term stability of the calendar and the establishment of the holiday system provide a guarantee for the inheritance of the Spring Festival. Festivals exist depending on the calendar. As mentioned earlier, three generations ago, China had formed a combined calendar of Yin and Yang, which took into account the tropic year and the first lunar month. After that, although the calendar calculation became more and more accurate, the principle of compiling the calendar was stable for a long time, which also provided conditions for the continued existence of the Spring Festival. In addition, the holiday system has also played a positive role. During the Han Dynasty, China has established a complete vacation system, giving all kinds of legal holidays to officials of all sizes, and holiday saving is an important part of it. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the holiday system was more complete, and the Chinese New Year became the longest holiday. Both Jin and Yuan dynasties followed the holiday system of the Central Plains Dynasty, with an average annual holiday of 3 days. The Qing Dynasty paid more attention to the Chinese New Year, marked by seals and seals, and the holiday lasted nearly one month. The implementation of the holiday system not only gives officials time to celebrate the New Year, but also strengthens the official recognition of this festival and guides all members of society to inherit and practice the festival.

  Third, the characteristics of sharing between the government and the people have created a huge group of Spring Festival inheritors. A large number of traditional festivals in China are not simply folk festivals, but have distinctive characteristics shared by the government and the people, especially during the New Year. Sharing between the government and the people does not only mean that the ruling class will personally participate in various customs activities of the festival like ordinary people; More importantly, the government will also hold various activities during the festival, thus making the festival an important time and space for national governance. The sharing between the government and the people in the New Year was formed as early as the Zhou Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty Meeting was a typical performance. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Yuan Dynasty has been passed down from generation to generation. At that time, on the one hand, officials from all over the country, civil and military officials, royalty and relatives in Beijing, as well as foreign envoys, will greet the emperor and present gifts; On the other hand, the emperor rewarded bureaucratic ministers by giving things and feasts, so as to establish the legitimacy of political power, build a harmonious and warm relationship between monarch and minister, and safeguard the unity of the country. The survival of the festival depends on someone celebrating the festival. The more people celebrate the festival, the stronger the vitality of the festival. The Spring Festival has always been a festival shared by the government and the people, and there are many people who celebrate it. Various etiquette and custom activities bear rich cultural connotations and endow the Spring Festival with multiple functions. After a long period of accumulation, the Spring Festival has formed a very rich custom activities, such as offering sacrifices to the stove, ancestor worship, sweeping the house, busy New Year, New Year greetings, putting up Spring Festival couplets, wearing new clothes, setting off firecrackers, visiting temple fairs, enjoying flower lanterns, walking on stilts, boating, feasting and partying, and dancing lions and dragons. Among them, there are exquisite manners, food and clothing, social interaction and entertainment activities.All these bear the values and ideal demands of the Chinese nation, such as reverence for nature, respect for ancestors, gratitude and gratitude, family reunion, social harmony and harmony in the world. By participating in it, people coordinate the relationship between heaven and man, renew social relations, and adjust the individual’s physical and mental relations, so that the Spring Festival has important functions such as strengthening the emotional connection between individuals and their families, hometowns, places and countries, enhancing community awareness and promoting social harmony, thus being deeply embedded in the social structure and becoming a cultural tradition that members of society cannot abandon.

  Fourth, the constantly updated, open and inclusive Spring Festival culture continues to empower the inheritance of the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is not a rigid and closed cultural system, it changes with time and adapts to local conditions. Throughout history, people in different dynasties always developed custom activities in line with the characteristics of their own times. People in the southern dynasties burned firecrackers to avoid evil spirits, while contemporary people used gunpowder firecrackers to express their joy and blessing for the arrival of the new year; In the 1980s, people liked to send New Year cards, but today, it is fashionable for people to pay New Year greetings through WeChat. Looking at the whole country, people in different places always make full use of their natural environment and human conditions to create custom activities with local characteristics by visiting temple fairs in Beijing, flower markets in Guangzhou and flower lanterns in Zigong, and making cakes in jiaozi in the north and in the south.

  Prosperous for the New Year. Spring Festival culture contains the ideal of human common life, such as material abundance, social harmony and spiritual abundance, and carries the common values of family harmony, social tolerance and harmonious coexistence between man and nature, which is the fundamental reason why it can go to the world. Going to the world, the Spring Festival is bound to inherit and develop in cultural exchanges and mutual learning.

Reading "Numbers" and China’s Confidence —— A Special Report on the Opening of the Financial Program Center of the General Station of "Looking Up from Data"

  In 2023, China’s economy, which has experienced storms, has strengthened its physique and bones, and it has given off new vitality in its steady and far-reaching development.

  Looking back on last year, what was the gold content of China’s economy?

  Looking forward to the new year, where does China’s economic confidence come from?

  We found the answer from this heavy report card — —

  On January 17, 2024, the National Bureau of Statistics released the main data of national economic operation in 2023. In this year-end report card, China’s economy has made remarkable contributions to global economic growth; In the good data, there is a solid foundation for China’s economy to develop further to high quality; In the record of innovation and breakthrough, there is unlimited potential for China’s economy to achieve good results again. Since January 17th, the Financial Program Center has launched a series of reports, "From the data, it is getting better". From this report card with good quality and sufficient weight, it "counts" the confidence of China’s economy to move forward steadily in the process of high-quality development.

  In 2023, China’s GDP growth rate was 5.2%, and the economy rebounded for the whole year.

  Interpretation of China’s economic performance, GDP, that is, gross domestic product, is an important observation index. 5.2%, which is the most concerned GDP growth rate in the report card of China’s economic operation in 2023 released on 17th. China’s total economic output reached 126,058.2 billion yuan. In the first quarter, GDP increased by 4.5% year-on-year, 6.3% in the second quarter, 4.9% in the third quarter and 5.2% in the fourth quarter.

  Director of the National Bureau of Statistics Kang Yi:It can be said that the performance of China’s economy in the past year is to hand over a report card with good quality and sufficient weight. In 2023, with the downturn of the world economy, the complex evolution of the international pattern and frequent geopolitical conflicts, the complexity, severity and uncertainty of the external environment we are facing are rising, and there are many cyclical structural contradictions in China and frequent natural disasters. Under such complicated circumstances, it is even more commendable to achieve such development achievements.

  China’s contribution to global economic growth is about one third.

  According to the forecast of the International Monetary Fund, the contribution rate of China’s economic growth rate of 5.2% to global economic growth will be around 30%, that is to say, China’s economy will continue to be an important engine of global stable growth.

  According to the World Bank’s forecast of GDP and growth rate of major economies in 2023, China’s economic growth will be about 1.5 times that of the United States and 16.5 times that of the euro zone. From the perspective of contribution rate to world economic growth, in 2023, China will have more than America, Europe and Japan combined.

  Hideki Ito, Principal Researcher of Mizuho Bank China Co., Ltd.:China’s economic growth of 5.2% is equivalent to the combined GDP of Thailand and Viet Nam. China has made great contributions to the world economy. With the expansion of exports and the growth of domestic demand, the dividend of China’s economic growth will spread to the global economy.

  China, as the second largest economy in the world, has formed a good and stable fundamentals in its long-term development. Japanese Omron Health Medical Company, which entered the China market 30 years ago, has increased its sales in China by about four times in 2010. Last August, their R&D and production base expanded in Dalian with an investment of 300 million yuan was successfully completed.

  Like Omron, many large Japanese companies are also increasing their investment in China. According to Japanese media reports, Matsushita Electric will invest more than 50 billion yen in China to build or expand more than 10 factories in the three years to March 2025; Todo, a Japanese bathroom brand, also plans to build a new factory in the suburbs of Dalian, with an estimated investment of tens of billions of yen, which will be put into production as soon as 2026. In addition, Daikin’s new air conditioning plant in Guangdong will also be put into operation in October this year.

  In 2023, the total retail sales of social consumer goods increased by 7.2%.

  In 2023, the total retail sales of social consumer goods reached 47,149.5 billion yuan, an increase of 7.2% over the previous year, reaching a record high. The contribution rate to economic growth reached 82.5%. Consumption has become the main driving force of economic growth again. One of the most striking is the rapid recovery of tourism. Whether it is Zibo, Shandong Province, which made a name for itself in the first half of the year, or Harbin, which is famous for its pet customers and powder at the end of the year, all show the strong driving force of tourism consumption in the past year.

  During the New Year’s Day holiday this year, Harbin Ice and Snow World received 163,200 tourists, a year-on-year increase of 435%, a record high. The local Mattel popsicles sold 100,000 pieces in three days. Now, the "Erbin" fever is still going on, and the number of tourists on the Central Street will exceed 400,000 every day; A small fried cake stall sells nearly 8000 fried cakes every day. The consumption heat in the ice and snow season, ignited by the "Erbin pet mode", quickly spread to more places. During the New Year holiday, Heilongjiang Province received a total of 6.619 million tourists, an increase of 173.7% over last year. Southerners go skiing in the north and northerners go south to avoid the cold, which has become a new hot spot in tourism. A series of cultural and tourism parties that go from north to south and are linked in many places have further released strong tourism consumption potential.

  In 2023, the per capita disposable income of national residents increased by 5.3%, of which the per capita disposable income of rural residents increased by 5.7%. Jiang Zhixiang is a photographer in Qianjiang, Hubei Province. In the past year, he recorded 60 weddings with his lens, witnessing the happy little days of the villagers and the new scene of rural consumption. This year, Jiang Zhixiang bought a house through his own efforts. He admitted that he was full of confidence in the prospects of his career when he saw the new changes in the rural landscape.

  In 2023, the growth rate of electricity consumption in the whole society exceeded 6%

  Electricity consumption data is a barometer of national economic operation. The reporter learned from the China Electricity Council that the growth rate of electricity consumption in the whole society in 2023 was 6.7%. Among them, the electricity consumption of business services, wholesale and retail, accommodation and catering industries has obviously recovered, with a year-on-year growth rate of over 13%. The rapid development of the electric vehicle industry has boosted the electricity consumption of the charging and replacing service industry by over 70% year-on-year.

  In 2023, China’s "new three" products, such as new energy vehicles, lithium batteries and solar cells, exported a total of 1.06 trillion yuan, exceeding the trillion mark for the first time, with an increase of 29.9%.

  The equipment manufacturing industry is the heavy weapon of the country and an important part of the real economy. Since 2023, a number of domestic high-end equipment have made breakthroughs in succession, and big countries have frequently "upgraded". The first large domestic cruise ship, Ada? The Modu is currently sailing in the East China Sea. This large domestic cruise ship has successfully completed three commercial voyages since it officially started commercial operation on January 1. Ada? Captain Modu said: "We have tested the limits of everything, our engine and stability. We are very, very confident. It is very stable and very powerful. This means that even in stormy weather or bad weather, the ship is still very stable. "

  "Ada? The "Modu" cruise ship is currently running at a frequency of 6 to 7 voyages per month, with tickets ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 yuan to more than 10,000 yuan. All the voyage tickets before the Spring Festival have been sold out. In Ida? At the same time that the cruise ship Modu started another voyage, the design scheme of the second domestic large-scale cruise ship called "No.2" is also progressing steadily, and construction has started.
