Infinite imagination of "online celebrity" vegetable market

  Just after 9: 00 a.m., Sanyuanli vegetable market became lively. Chefs from western restaurants came to buy lunch ingredients, young mothers picked imported fruits, and takeaway brothers walked quickly through busy delivery. Delicious vegetables, colorful fruits, seafood from all over the world, and strange spices … … Although this vegetable market with an area of only 1,560 square meters is small, it is full of all kinds of delicious food from all over the world.

  In the vegetable market, a long and narrow passage runs through the north and south, with 140 merchants on both sides. In a booth of only a few square meters, merchants set up a ladder with a simple frame to place dishes, and the layered vegetables will be surrounded by vegetable sellers, who can only drill in and out from the corner of the ladder.

  For 59-year-old Li Xueling, loading goods is a manual job, but she enjoys it. Before dawn, her whole family drove to major wholesale markets to select fresh "sharp goods". After being transported back to the vegetable market, they had to choose dirty leaves, wrap them in plastic wrap, and put them on the stalls after some initial processing. "The morning is the busiest and most chaotic time, but the market is neat as soon as it opens." Li Xueling said.

  "Elder sister, give me a small box of sweet beans and a catty of tomatoes." Just opened, Ms. Sun, an old customer, appeared in front of the booth in Li Xueling as usual. The price of two vegetables of nearly 100 yuan did not surprise Ms. Sun. After skillfully scanning the code to pay, she picked up the bag and walked to the fruit stand.

  What attracts Ms. Sun is that there are always unexpected gains here. A kilo of organic tomatoes in 20 yuan, Japanese pumpkins that are often sold out of stock, Brussels sprouts that look like mini cabbages, and delicious flowers with high value … … The small vegetable market is an eye-opener and makes people enjoy the beauty of food.

  "Who would have thought 30 years ago that there are so many kinds of vegetables now?" Li Xueling remembered that she and her husband came to Beijing from their hometown in Baoding, and each of them joined the army of selling vegetables with a flatbed. At the beginning, all the stalls were the same road dishes, with only five or six varieties. At that time, she didn’t expect that such a "online celebrity" vegetable market could be built on the grassland that she passed every day when she went home.

  In 1992, before and after the country completely abolished the policy of residents buying pork by ticket, vegetable greenhouses were built in Sanyuanli vegetable market, and roadside vendors pushed carts into the market to set up stalls. Since then, this old vegetable market has undergone many upgrades and hardware upgrades, and it has also evolved into an international vegetable market full of emotional appeal.

  If the opening is the right time, internationalization is the right place. Because of its proximity to the embassy district, Sanyuanli vegetable market has attracted customers from all over the world, and various demands have also made merchants smell business opportunities. This vegetable market, which takes two or three minutes to walk quickly, has gradually become a "fresh United Nations".

  Yesterday evening, Liu Rong, a white-collar worker who just finished working overtime, walked into Sanyuanli vegetable market and went straight to a cheese shop, with black lemon cheese and colorful red sauce cheese … … Liu Rong, who just learned to cook western food, was dazzled.

  "I have no cheese you can’t find." Shop owner Wen Guochen is full of confidence. Twenty-two years ago, he was a vegetable merchant in the market. Because many foreigners who came to buy food could not find their own cheese, Wen Guochen decided to change careers. He asked the import agent to collect all kinds of cheese and spices to satisfy the stomachs of foreign customers. In recent years, more and more Chinese began to patronize his small shop, and the business was getting better and better.

  Just after seeing off the customers, a fashionable food anchor walked into the store, aimed the camera at the cheese in the freezer, and the screen of the mobile phone flashed with questions from fans. For such a scene, Wen Guochen has long been accustomed to it. In recent years, artists have come to hold exhibitions, writers have come to hold new book conferences, and economists have come to hold small classes in economics. The unique "online celebrity" temperament makes this vegetable market bring people endless imagination.

  Li Xueling felt that in the past two years, the number of passengers in the vegetable market has decreased, but the micro-shops in mobile phones have become busier. "When someone visited once, they added WeChat. When it is inconvenient to come, they will place an order online." Like Li Xueling, merchants have been operating mobile phone markets. The take-away and flash delivery staff who shuttle through the market have also become a unique landscape.

Gold, how long can you be crazy?

Text | market value observation Xiao Li flying knife

Recently, the international gold price is witnessing history every day, and the current price once exceeded $2,380 per ounce.

Under the skyrocketing price of gold, ETFs tracking the spot price of gold also ushered in brilliant performance. Among them, the gold ETF Huaxia (518850) rose nearly 16% in more than one month, which was more than 50% higher than the low point in March 2021, which caused great concern in the market. In the eyes of many professional organizations, this round of gold bull market is far from over.

【 cycle cycle 】

Historically, the price of gold has experienced many rounds of bull-bear cycles.

After the Great Depression in 1929-1933, most developed economies abandoned the gold standard and implemented the paper money system. As a functions of money, gold has been greatly weakened, and the price of gold is facing revaluation, which has soared by more than 70% in just a few years. This is the first time that people have witnessed the power of gold.

Since then, the international gold price was tepid, and it was not until 1970-1980 that the second super bull market was ushered in, with a cumulative increase of 430%.

In 1971, Nixon brazenly announced the suspension of the exchange of dollars into gold, the Bretton Woods system collapsed and the value of gold was revalued again. In addition, after the decoupling of the US dollar from gold, the US fiscal and monetary policies were like wild horses, which eventually led to a round of hyperinflation, which also drove the current round of gold prices to rise sharply to some extent.

Subsequently, gold ushered in a 20-year super bear market. During this period, gold continued to depreciate, in sharp contrast to the rising prices of major economies around the world. Among them, American prices soared by 500%.

In 2000, before the bursting of the Internet bubble in the United States, the global stock market was extremely enthusiastic, and gold was at the end of the bear market cycle, gradually bottoming out and opening the road to rebound.

From 2006 to 2008, there was a super bubble in the American real estate market, and the price of gold continued to rise to a high of $1,000. Since then, with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the subprime mortgage crisis has swept the world. As a major asset, gold has also fallen more than 20% following the stock market and bond market in just a few months.

In November 2008, the United States officially launched the QE policy, and large-scale over-issuance of money saved finance and economy from fire and water. The European Central Bank also implemented quantitative easing policy and expanded its balance sheet rapidly. The huge amount of liquidity continuously depressed the market interest rate and entered the zero interest rate range in December 2011. In the same period, the Bank of Japan’s QE and QQE policies came out.

The global mainstream currencies flooded, the real interest rate of the US dollar fell, and gold rose all the way to 2011, with the highest exceeding $1,900 per ounce.

After this bull market, gold ushered in a bear market for nearly seven years. The price of gold once dropped from a high level to $1,045 per ounce in 2015, with a cumulative decline of 46%. After that, it oscillated at the bottom for several years and started a new bull market cycle in October 2018.

From the perspective of historical deduction, once the gold price enters the bull market or bear market cycle, the trend will not end soon, and the duration can often last for more than 10 years. If this gold bull market follows the historical laws, it is a good choice to invest in gold-themed index funds such as gold ETF Huaxia (518850).

"Different bull market"

As we all know, gold has three attributes, including finance, hedging and commodities.

Financial attributes are mainly priced by two major indicators, one is inflation expectation and the other is nominal interest rate. To put it simply, gold has been used as a "hard currency" against inflation over the years-inflation has gone up, and gold tends to rise; Deflation, gold tends to fall. Nominal interest rate generally regards the yield of 10-year US bonds as opportunity cost. When the nominal interest rate goes down, gold tends to go up, and vice versa.

The combination of two factors, that is, the real interest rate (nominal interest rate-inflation expectation), is one of the important logics that determine the long-term trend of gold prices.

Hedging is the most important attribute of short-term fluctuation of gold, but it can’t support the performance of gold price in the medium and long term. Commodity attributes are weaker than the first two, because the demand for gold consumption (such as gold ornaments) is relatively stable and the supply is relatively stable, which often has little impact on the price of gold.

Then, since October 2018, why has a sharp bull market broken out in gold? How is this different from previous cycles?

From October 2018 to the end of 2022, there was a relatively obvious negative correlation between gold and the real interest rate as a whole, which was not very different from the past big cycle.

▲ US real interest rate VS gold futures price trend, source: m square

At the end of 2018, the Federal Reserve entered the end of the interest rate hike cycle since 2015, and then cut interest rates three times in 2019. In 2020, when the COVID-19 epidemic crisis hit, the Federal Reserve quickly lowered the federal benchmark interest rate to zero, and its balance sheet expanded by $5 trillion. Massive currency liquidity flooded into the market, the real interest rate fell sharply, and gold as a whole showed a continuous upward trend.

Since the end of 2022, the real interest rate in the United States has fluctuated and risen, but gold has continued to strengthen. Recently, the macro data of non-agricultural employment and inflation in the United States have performed strongly, indicating that the economic fundamentals are strong, and the yield of 10-year US bonds has also rebounded to above 4.4%, driving the real interest rate to rise, but gold is still unmoved and crazy.

From the real interest rate in the past big cycle, the main pricing factors can no longer effectively explain the surge in the second stage of this gold bull market. The main reason is that the crazy purchase of gold by global central banks has become another important factor leading the trend of gold prices.

In 2022, global central banks bought 1,082 tons of gold, a significant increase compared with the previous 450 tons, setting a record high. In 2023, the net purchase again was 1,037.4 tons, which continued to maintain a high level, close to 20% of the annual gold supply. Among them, the biggest buyer originated from the Bank of China.

As of March, 2024, the gold reserve of the Bank of China was 72.74 million ounces, up 160,000 ounces from the previous month. It is worth noting that this is the 17th consecutive month that the Bank of China has increased its holdings by 10.1 million ounces, or about 286 tons. According to the current gold price, the increase in holdings exceeds 170 billion yuan.

Since March, gold has continued to skyrocket, which has stimulated the rapid increase of global non-commercial long positions in gold for speculative profits and the relative decline of short positions. This undoubtedly exacerbated the soaring price of gold with a very steep slope.

From the short-term and medium-term perspective, the Fed will enter the interest rate reduction cycle for several years in the future, and the high interest rate of US bonds will have a large downside in the future. From a long-term perspective, due to distrust of the sovereign currency of the US dollar, central banks around the world systematically increase their holdings of gold, which will drive the upward trend of gold prices.

Long and short period resonance, the future gold market is still expected.

[investment at the right time]

Since the gold price in the afternoon is expected, it will be a good choice to vote for gold. You know, gold is the only legal and compliant global allocation asset that most people in China have access to.

In addition to buying physical gold, a more convenient way to invest in gold is to use ETF for layout. For example, the latest scale of gold ETF Huaxia (518850) is over 400 million yuan, with good liquidity, and it has recorded nearly 50% return performance in the past three years, which deserves special attention.

Of course, participating in the gold market can also focus on outstanding A-share gold listed companies.

Specifically, the middle and upper reaches of the gold industry chain are mainly engaged in gold mining and smelting, with Zijin Mining and Shandong Gold as the leading companies, while the downstream is mainly engaged in the production and sales of gold jewelry, with Lao Fengxiang and Zhou Dasheng as the leading companies.

The leading enterprises in the upstream resources are relatively more profitable, especially Zijin Mining, which has a market value of over 440 billion. Its gross profit margin increased from 8.5% in 2015 to 15.8% in 2023, and its net interest rate increased from 1.8% in the same period to 9%.

Zijin Mining’s gold business scale is undoubtedly the largest in China. In terms of reserves, it will reach 1,191 tons in 2022 (gold resources will reach 3,117 tons), far exceeding the 507 tons and 417 tons of Zhongjin Gold and Shandong Gold. In addition to the gold business, Zijin Mining also mines non-ferrous metals such as copper and zinc, and its output ranks among the top in the world.

These businesses have experienced explosive growth in the past few years. From 2005 to 2023, the revenue expanded from 3.07 billion yuan to 293.4 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 29%. The net profit of returning to the mother increased from 700 million yuan to 21.1 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 21%.

One of the core competitiveness driving the continuous growth of performance stems from low cost. On the one hand, Zijin Mining has mining technology that its peers don’t have, or can’t reach, to realize the benefit of mining low-grade mines. On the other hand, Zijin Mining is good at using the cycle and purchasing mineral resources at low prices against the trend.

In addition, Zhongjin Gold and Shandong Gold are not bad in operation, but their cyclical properties are stronger than Zijin Mining, and their share prices generally fluctuate with the gold price.

Lao Fengxiang, the core leader in the downstream of the gold industry chain, is also a super bull stock. Although the level of gross profit and net profit is very low, which is not much different from that of most manufacturing companies, fortunately, the business scale continues to expand, which also drives its profits to continue to grow.

Lao Fengxiang’s good growth stems from the bonus of China’s gold jewelry industry. According to Euromonitor, the market size of the industry was 815.9 billion yuan at the end of 2022, and it will reach 942.9 billion yuan in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.8%. In addition, from the perspective of per capita jewelry consumption, China’s jewelry consumption is US$ 82, which is lower than US$ 693 in Hongkong, China, US$ 309 in Singapore and US$ 250, and there is still much room for growth in the future.

In China’s jewelry market, the consumption of gold products is significantly higher, accounting for 58.3% in 2021 and above 60% in many years. In the global market, the largest market segment is diamond jewelry, accounting for 47%, followed by gold, accounting for 42%. It can be seen that the leading enterprises specializing in gold jewelry in China will benefit more.

In short, from the historical dimension and driving logic, this round of gold bull market may be far from complete. In this uncertain era, the allocation of gold-related assets should be a relatively certain choice.

From pork intestines powder to hoof flower soup, eat in Chengdu and laugh.

three three

Sichuan is spicy and addictive. Hot and sour powder, saliva chicken, spicy chicken pot, cold pot string … Red spicy oil, fragrant pepper, eat to the scalp sour, sweating, shaped like a taste purgatory trip, but the aftertaste is getting deeper and longer, and it will become addictive after a long time. However, the food in this place is so brilliant that 1,000 Chengdu people may have 1,000 small shops they like.

Sichuan is spicy, fragrant and hemp, and saliva is secreted at a glance. The graphs in this paper are all three graphs.

An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening

No matter how famous the hot pot in Shudu is, you can’t eat it early in the morning. Everyone in the land of abundance is very comfortable, sleeping until they wake up naturally, hungry for the first meal, where to go and what to eat? Go to a fat sausage shop with heavy taste, eat a bowl of bean soup rice with pure pie, and the old school will come to a bowl of red oil to copy their hands. After eating and drinking enough, they are full of vitality, so they can set off for the teahouse.

Pork intestines powder+pot helmet is my favorite breakfast. Pork intestines powder must be white and tender, and the powder is strong. The intestines should be washed clean without peculiar smell, simmered slowly with a little chewiness, red oil slipped and stained a little, and some soup should be hooked in the bend to make people enjoy themselves.

The powder should be high-quality sweet potato powder, and it is best to make it by hand, so that the taste is strong. The seasoning should be enough, and the sauce should not be vague. It must be aged Pixian bean paste, and the fragrance is layered. It is absolutely comfortable to eat in such a bowl. Another crispy pot helmet, hand-made noodles, strong fragrance, fresher soaking, is simply authentic civilian food.

Pork rolls with pot helmet.

People who like the large intestine are regarded as treasures. No matter at noon for breakfast, when you enter the fat sausage shop, braised sausage head and mixed sausage head are not to be missed. The sausage head tastes the most refreshing, tender, thick and chewy. Authentic stores turn the whole piece over and wash it with alum. When it is finished, cut it into pieces to taste before serving, so that the delicious food is firmly sealed and blooms before serving. The intestines are fat and heavy, and it is even thicker when soaked in red oil peppers. With fresh and tender cress, the fresh and spicy fragrance makes the tongue unable to find the north for a while.

Everyone who will order will have a sausage head.

In Chengdu breakfast, only miscellaneous sauce noodles can compete with pork intestines powder.

A bowl of miscellaneous sauce noodles with red oil begins a day full of vitality.

Miscellaneous sauce noodles are the most popular in small noodles in the morning. Knowledgeable families must cut alkaline noodles with fresh water, commonly known as cudgel noodles, which have a yellowish surface and taste strong. The miscellaneous sauce for mixing noodles is ironclad sesame sauce, Hanyuan pepper noodles, pork minced meat and Chili oil, plus some sugar, garlic paste, soy sauce and the like. When you smell it in the morning, you will be full of saliva, and the dishes are green vegetables in winter and cowpeas in summer.

When it is hot, cold noodles with shredded chicken is the savior of appetite. You don’t need to see the fire, the store can mix a bowl in 5 seconds. The white jade congealed face, glittering and translucent spicy oil, and shredded chicken without oil flowers are chilled and refreshed. Popular stores use chicken leg meat, and then use chicken soup with noodles. No matter how hot it is, diners will continue.

Cold noodles with shredded chicken is the savior of summer.

King of Sichuan cuisine twice-cooked pork

Apart from hot pot, there are four most popular Sichuan dishes in the world, namely, Sichuan style pork, diced chicken with kung pao, shredded pork with fish sauce and Mapo tofu. These four sweet, sour, spicy and fragrant dishes are balanced and palatable, which makes Sichuan cuisine invincible. But the dish that can be regarded as the "king of Sichuan cuisine" is probably Sichuan style pork.

Authentic Sichuan-style stew pork must use "two knives".

Sichuan people have always loved Sichuan pork. However, I’m afraid many Sichuanese didn’t expect that the Sichuan-style pork they ate was not authentic. From the selection of materials, ingredients to the final side dishes, it is actually very particular to fry a plate of authentic Sichuan style pork.

The most authentic Sichuan-style pork comes with skin and hind legs, which is called "Erdao" locally. The second knife meat has regular shape, reasonable fat and thin collocation, and heavy meat flavor. Add aniseed, pepper and cooking wine and boil it until it is raw. Add oil to the wok and burn the meat. The cooked meat looks like a lamp nest, then add wine and salt. After a little cooking, add bean paste and then sweet noodle sauce. Yes, you certainly didn’t expect that authentic Sichuan style pork and sweet noodle sauce are also essential, and the rich sauce flavor comes from this.

The side dishes of Sichuan style pork are also exquisite, and they must be garlic seedlings. Garlic seedlings are particularly important for Sichuan style pork, which not only smells fragrant, but also leaves of garlic seedlings can fully absorb the fat of meat, and it is also a rare delicacy. Stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts and special soy sauce until it is cut off. Only after turning off the fire can vegetables have a unique fresh feeling, and sometimes they are more popular than the meat on the plate.

Many fly restaurants in Chengdu cook Sichuan style pork, but when it comes to exquisite and clean materials, it will be the most popular one to turn around. As one of the longest restaurants in Chengdu at present, what it advocates here is the comfortable life in old Sichuan. In the old house with cornices and arches at the entrance of Lotus Lane, there are several thick wooden tables and bamboo chairs in the small courtyard of blue brick, which are the seats that guests scramble to reserve every day.

Chengdu Midnight Food Store

No matter how late the night is in Chengdu, there is also a snack bar with a light on and a steaming pot boiling, which attracts hungry passers-by with delicious meat. On a cold winter night, there is nothing warmer than a bowl of soup.

The hoof flower soup has warmed many wet winters in Chengdu.

Age loves hoof flower soup. A bowl of snow-white, rich snow bean and hoof flower soup. The white soup has a thick bean flavor, and there is no oil slick. When swallowed, it seems that there is a thin layer of gum condensed in the mouth, which is warm and smooth. The store keeps the skin of pig’s trotters white and shiny, so delicate that you can’t see the pores. When chopsticks touch them, they will be soft and detached from the bones. They will be dipped in soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, pepper powder, chopped pepper and chopped green onion, which will drive away the cold in one bite and cheer up in two. If you are tired of eating the taste of snow beans, kelp and lotus root will have another flavor.

Another late-night snack that is quite chivalrous is black chicken feet.

The huge black chicken feet, which are longer than the palm of a man’s hand, have traveled all over the restaurants in Chengdu, large and small. Without it, they can’t keep up with the trend and play Freestyle. Black chicken feet and ordinary chicken feet are not the same concept at all. The big black chicken from Zigong has an upgraded flavor, and the skin on its legs is smooth and tender. The chicken feet are crisp and chewy, and the soup is rich and the gum is rich. 10 yuan is one. After eating it, I looked up and saw that everyone in the room was eating it.

Carnivorous guide: What pigs really can’t eat is actually these three places.

Recently, "there are many pig incidents", which has also caused some friends to have some fears about pork. Fans have also privately asked Uncle Meat about which pork can and cannot be eaten in the background:

"Is it true that pig kidney has heavy metal residues and cannot be eaten?"

"Don’t eat pig lung with virus."

"The pig’s large intestine is full of poop …"

In this issue, I will focus on the questions about internal organs raised by everyone, and answer them. Let’s get to know each other!

1. Is there much heavy metal in pig liver?

Really, but not necessarily exceeding the standard!

Source: Network

There are indeed heavy metal residues in the liver of animals such as pig liver. Because pig liver is the largest detoxifier and poison transfer station in pigs, toxic and harmful substances, such as heavy metals, enter the body through metabolism, transformation, detoxification and excretion in the liver.

When the liver function declines or toxic and harmful substances are ingested more, these harmful substances will accumulate in the liver. However, the "high" content of heavy metals in pig liver does not mean that it must exceed the standard. Generally speaking, the pork liver purchased regularly is generally safe to eat. Moreover, pig liver also contains healthy nutrients such as iron and vitamins, and it is good to eat some occasionally.

Advantages:

Protein is rich (comparable to lean pork).

Lower fat (lower than lean pork)

Vitamin A is very high (it is the part with the highest vitamin A content in pigs).

Iron content (7.7 times that of lean pork)

Vitamin B2 is very high.

2. Is pig brain high in cholesterol?

Yes, but it’s okay to eat in moderation!

Source: Network

The cholesterol content in pig brain is really high. The cholesterol content in every 100 grams of pig brain is as high as 2571 mg /100 grams, and the cholesterol in an egg yolk is only about 200 mg.

However, you may not need to worry too much about cholesterol in food. It is no problem to eat pig brain normally, for example, once or twice a month.

Advantages:

There are many minerals such as calcium and phosphorus.

3. Is the pig’s large intestine oily and dirty?

Clean, cook thoroughly and eat safely.

Source: Network

But many people still think that the large intestine is dirty, because the large intestine is the place where the residue (feces) is discharged after food digestion. Because of the need to excrete food residues, there may indeed be more microorganisms in the large intestine, and parasites and pathogenic bacteria may also exist, but as long as the food residues are thoroughly cleaned, washed away and cooked thoroughly when eating, they can still be safely eaten. Of course, there is still a lot of fat in the large intestine, so take it easy when eating.

4. Is there much dust in pig lungs?

Think too much!

Source: Network

It is said that pigs love to arch the ground and have a lot of dust, so pig lungs can’t be eaten. If people breathe a lot of dust in the air, it will indeed enter the lungs, and even lead to pneumoconiosis. However, this disease is only found in people at present, and most of them are special occupational groups that need to contact with a lot of dust.

And most pigs don’t live in places with a lot of dust. Although the pig loves to dig up the soil, it won’t suck it all in like this. Therefore, pig lungs don’t have much dust.

Advantages:

Protein medium.

Low in fat

5. List of pork parts 

Come and find out.

6. The inedible parts of pork

Actually, it’s these three places

There are three parts of the pig that are inedible, namely adrenal gland, thyroid gland and diseased lymph nodes.

Adrenal gland, which is located in front of the inner edge of the pig’s kidney, is often called "small kidney". Eating the meat of adrenal gland by mistake may cause acute poisoning. The clinical manifestations are dizziness, head swelling, nausea, palpitation, general weakness, stomachache and diarrhea.

Thyroid gland, located behind the larynx and on the ventral side of trachea, is commonly known as "chestnut meat". After eating meat containing thyroid gland by mistake, symptoms such as palpitation, shortness of breath, arrhythmia, headache, tinnitus, irritability, hyperhidrosis, nausea, anorexia, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea may occur.

The pig’s lymph nodes are grayish white or yellowish bumps, which are distributed all over the pig and concentrated in the neck, commonly known as flower seed meat. Pathological lymph nodes contain a large number of bacteria and their toxins, and people who eat by mistake are prone to infectious diseases.

These places contain pig endocrine hormones, pathogenic microorganisms and other harmful substances, which have certain health risks, and are required to be removed in regular slaughter. If pork with meat stalls is found to have "three glands", don’t buy it.

In short, it is safe to eat all kinds of common pig viscera or pork if it is purchased through formal channels (such as large supermarkets) and fully washed and cooked thoroughly.

Demystifying online celebrity’s "Thailand DC Diet Pill": It is a new drug with dependence.

  It is claimed to be a "DC slimming drug" imported from Thailand, but it is actually a "new drug". Such a miracle drug for losing weight was even recommended by Wechat business crazily, and the anchor of the live broadcast platform brought the goods.

  On August 17th, The Paper learned from the Shanghai Anti-drug Office that in recent years, many illegal drugs such as "diet pills" illegally flowed into China from abroad contained psychotropic drugs controlled by China, such as amfepramone, phentermine, diazepam ("diet pills"), nitrazepam, flunitrazepam ("sleeping pills"), modafinil and ritalin ("smart drugs").

  Among them, "amfepramone" mainly stimulates the nerve center of hypothalamus, which makes people feel full, can control appetite and reduce food intake, but will improve the excitability of the body, and is prone to inexplicable mood swings or insomnia, emotional excitement, etc. Fentamine mostly acts on animal parasympathetic nerves to control appetite or calm down. The research published in The Lancet shows that "with the increase of dosage, cognitive and mental disorders will increase correspondingly", and although such drugs are widely used to lose weight in the United States and other regions, there is no long-term randomized controlled study to prove their effectiveness and safety.

  And "Diazepam" is similar to the domestic antipsychotic drugs, which are mostly used for anti-anxiety, sedation and hypnosis, and have tolerance and dependence after long-term use.

  Controlled drugs seized by the police. The Paper reporter Zhu Yitu

  Therefore, from the above-mentioned components and pharmacological effects of "diet pills", it belongs to the definition of drugs (narcotic drugs and refined drugs that can make people addicted to drugs) stipulated by the state.

  Controlled drugs seized by the police. The Paper reporter Zhu Yitu

  In recent years, with the development of social economy and the improvement of living standards, the general public has higher requirements for their own weight loss and shaping. However, due to the lack of legal knowledge and weak awareness of prevention, and the fact that some unscrupulous businesses even deliberately speculate on the so-called "online celebrity products" for profit-seeking purposes, some online platforms are flooded with all kinds of information and advertisements that are difficult to distinguish between true and false.

  In this context, due to the lack of legal awareness and anti-virus and anti-drug ability of some people, such "diet pills" have been purchased and used, and the situation has an increasing trend. It not only violates laws and regulations, but also causes its own harmful consequences.

  Earlier, according to media reports, a woman who lives in Wu Kang Road bought 750 yuan’s "DC diet pills" in the so-called "overseas student purchasing shop" on the online shopping platform. Unexpectedly, after taking them one month after another, the weight loss effect was ordinary, but the police found the door and said that she was suspected of taking drugs. According to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, more than 200 cases of suspected "DC diet pills" have been investigated this year.

  According to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, from the cracked cases, such "diet pills", "sleeping pills" and "smart drugs" have symptoms such as increased heart rate, nausea and headache after taking them; There are even serious situations such as anxiety and depression, mania and irritability, anorexia and world-weariness.

  With the joint efforts of the city’s anti-drug departments at all levels, the number of traditional drug-related crimes in Shanghai has dropped sharply, and the breeding and spread of drug-related crimes have been further controlled. However, drug-related crimes involving psychotropic and narcotic drugs are on the rise. Since 2018, the illegal use of psychotropic and narcotic drugs in the city has shown a high growth trend.

  Since the beginning of this year, 85% of drug addicts who illegally use psychotropic and narcotic drugs (such as "diet pills" and "sleeping pills") in Shanghai have used "diet pills" containing controlled drugs.

  In the next step, multi-departments will jointly continue to increase the following work: first, continue to increase publicity and education for the public to prevent more people from repeating the same mistakes, so as to form a consensus on anti-drug and improve their ability to refuse drugs; The second is to urge all kinds of network platforms to carry out clean-up and rectification, remove, shut down and block the links of individual illegal merchants, and strengthen the sales and advertising review of "drugs"; The third is to strengthen the investigation and control of new types of drugs on the Internet, or items containing drug ingredients and toxic and harmful information, and truly establish an online and offline joint investigation and control mechanism to effectively safeguard the physical and mental health of the broad masses of the people.

  "Smurfs, milk tea, and smart drugs have always maintained a high degree of sensitivity to these new drugs in Shanghai, and timely detect and crack down on them to avoid circulation. However, the same people should be cautious about drugs to be imported, and don’t be numb and hurt others." Li Jian, director of the Anti-drug Guidance Department of the Political and Legal Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, reminded that citizens are welcome to report actively, and the reward standard has been raised.

Comprehensively promote the rule of law to protect the construction of a network power.

In order to thoroughly study, publicize and implement General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important thoughts on cyber power, implement the important instructions of General Secretary Supreme Leader on cyber security and informatization and the spirit of the national conference on cyber security and informatization, and consolidate and deepen the achievements of thematic education, on September 14th, the Central Network Information Office held a seminar on studying, publicizing and implementing General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important thoughts and theories on cyber power. Taking "An Introduction to the Important Thoughts of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on the Network Power" as an authoritative reading, we will exchange learning experiences, deepen theoretical discussions, promote the implementation of learning and publicity, and provide spiritual motivation and theoretical support for promoting the construction of a network power and creating a new situation of high-quality development of the network information industry.

Internet is an important achievement of the development of human civilization, and the rule of law is the basic way of Internet governance. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has attached great importance to the work of network rule by law, emphasizing the need to adhere to the rule of law, run the network according to law, and surf the Internet according to law, so that the Internet can operate healthily on the track of rule by law. In March, 2023, the State Council Press Office issued a white paper entitled "China’s Network Rule of Law Construction in the New Era". In July 2023, the book "An Introduction to the Important Thoughts of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on Network Power" organized by the Office of the Central Cyber Security and Informatization Committee was distributed nationwide. It can be seen that it is of great significance for us to promote the construction of a network power by governing the network according to law and making the network run orderly and healthily on the track of rule of law.

Deeply understand the important connotation and significance of the important thought of the Supreme Leader General Secretary about the network power.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward a series of strategic, forward-looking and creative views on how to build a network power, and profoundly expounded the basic issues such as the goal, vision, overall layout and development direction of developing the Internet in the new era, including the concept of governing the Internet according to law, the concept of network sovereignty and the concept of network governance.

The concept of governing the internet according to law emphasizes that cyberspace, like the real society, should strengthen the legislation in the field of the internet and improve the laws and regulations on the management of the network society. "Cyberspace is the same as the real society", and it is necessary to advocate freedom and maintain order. To govern the Internet according to law, it is necessary to guide online public opinion with socialist core values, to strengthen content supervision, to create a good network ecology, and to condense the lasting power of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The concept of cyber sovereignty is becoming more and more important under the background of great power game in the new era, especially under the current situation that western powers regard cyberspace as an ideological breakthrough. Ideology has become one of the important factors of national political security. With the development of technology, the Internet platform will inevitably become an important place for ideological and public opinion confrontation among countries. How to master the dominance of network ideology and win the battle of network ideology is a particularly noteworthy issue in recent years. National sovereignty is inviolable, and network sovereignty is the realistic requirement of national network governance model, so we should earnestly respect the network sovereignty of all countries and safeguard national security.

The concept of network governance is an important content and means to realize the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity. Based on the experience and development of domestic social governance, the concept of network governance promotes the reform of the global Internet governance system, caters to the wisdom of China and the experience of China that China has contributed to the network governance of all countries in the world, and takes respect as the premise and win-win as the goal.

The important thought of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary about the network power is the latest achievement of Marxism in China, the successful combination of Marx’s basic principles and Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s construction, and an important part of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era. The important thought of the Supreme Leader General Secretary about the network power applies the development and standardization of cyberspace to the governance framework of our country reasonably. At the same time, in the process of improving the governance of domestic cyberspace, the important thought of the Supreme Leader General Secretary about the network power tries to apply China wisdom to the cooperation and governance of the world cyberspace, which provides a Chinese scheme and feasible path for promoting global Internet governance.

Generate, the supreme leader’s general secretary’s important thought about the network power, has gained great energy.First, it embodies the people-centered concept.In recent years, the "Broadband China" strategy, the "internet plus" plan and the national big data strategy have promoted the integration of the Internet and the real economy, and promoted the rapid upgrading of traditional industries. The influence of Chinese Internet companies such as Alibaba, Tencent and Huawei has risen rapidly, and their business scope and service quality have also improved significantly. Network technology has been integrated into people’s lives at a faster and deeper speed, and is gradually realizing "providing useful, affordable and well-used information services for the people", and taking improving people’s well-being as the starting point and foothold of the development of network technology in China.

Second, the initial intention of actively participating in international cooperation has been realized.Today, countries have basically the same vision and direction for the development of digital economy and cyberspace. Therefore, it is of great significance to deepen the international cooperation and exchange of network governance, with common progress as the driving force and win-win as the goal. Only by mutual respect and trust can we advance together; Only by increasing communication and exchange can we achieve a win-win situation.

Third, it has achieved an important guarantee for national security.In recent years, cyberspace has been called "the battlefield without smoke" in the game among countries. Compared with traditional armament weapons, the lethality and destructive power of cyber weapons have been greatly enhanced. The cultivation and practice of ideology and values determine the stability and security of the country. Therefore, we must focus on network governance and firmly control the network position.

Governing the Internet according to law, running the Internet according to law and surfing the Internet according to law will promote the new journey of social governance in cyberspace.

(A) the new idea of governing the Internet according to law

The so-called governance of cyberspace according to law refers to the extension of social governance to cyberspace according to law, the establishment and improvement of a comprehensive network governance system, the strengthening of pipe networks according to law, the establishment of networks according to law and the access to the Internet according to law, and the comprehensive promotion of the legalization of cyberspace. According to the "Implementation Outline of Building a Society under the Rule of Law (2020-2025)", the governance of cyberspace according to law is mainly reflected in the improvement of the legal system, the cultivation of the awareness of the rule of law and the protection of the legal rights and interests of the network.

Improve the legal system and lay the foundation of the rule of law."Cyberspace is not a place outside the law", and the rule of law is the basic way of Internet governance. It has become a global consensus to use the concept of rule of law, rule of law thinking and rule of law means to promote Internet governance according to law. At this stage, China has basically formed a network legal system based on the Constitution, laws, administrative regulations, departmental rules and local regulations, traditional legislation, and special legislation such as network construction and management, network security and informatization, etc. Nevertheless, in the face of the products of the new era, on the road of ruling the Internet according to law, we should still adhere to scientific and democratic legislation, improve the relevant legal system of cyberspace, establish and improve the network security review and management system, make the network security legal system better serve the people, and lay the legal foundation for social governance in the Internet era.

Cultivate the awareness of the rule of law, and adhere to the rule of virtue.Cyberspace is virtual, but it is realistic to use the main body of cyberspace. In the process of network activities, we should clarify our rights and obligations, enhance our legal reserves, and operate legally under the guidance of socialist core values and the main theme of the times. At the same time, strictly regulate the promotion of online media literacy to the awareness of the rule of law, strengthen the institutionalization of online integrity, and strengthen the guidance to the people and related subjects.

Safeguard legal rights and interests and achieve a win-win situation for all parties.Prevent network security risks according to law and strengthen the protection of legal rights and interests of all subjects in network activities. At a time when telecom fraud, cyber financial crimes, cyber libel and other acts are frequent, perfecting the information sharing mechanism, vigorously propagating anti-fraud ideas, and strengthening the punishment of related illegal and criminal acts are the implementation and promotion of governing the internet according to law, and also the further realization of comprehensively governing the country according to law.

(2) A new journey of social governance

Promoting the rule of law and building a network power is an important driving force for economic development, a source of people’s happy life, an important guarantee for national security and an important way for international cooperation.

Explore in real opportunities.With the development of human society rolling forward, the Internet has already become a brand-new carrier of information dissemination, and cyberspace has already formed a new world of human life. As a network power, we seize the importance of network governance in the opportunity, and gradually systematize and theorize.

Explore in the process of practice.The formation of any thought is inseparable from practice. From the professional information team to the leading group of network security and informatization, China has never slackened off on network governance, and the new ideas from the traditional social governance model to Internet governance have been enriched by bit by bit practical experience.

It is a brand-new task of the new era and a brand-new journey of social governance to implement the important thought of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on strengthening the country by network under the background of the strategy of comprehensively governing the country according to law. Only by creatively applying the existing social governance experience to the governance of cyberspace can the energy contained in Internet technology be maximized.

Begging for domestic drama, don’t rub her traffic again.

Original Ma Xiangyu Independent Fish Movie

Another big domestic IP was destroyed.

It is "Ode to Joy".

Six years ago, its hit was phenomenal.

"Five beauties" Fan Shengmei, Andy, Qu Xiaoyu, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Set off a wave of urban female group drama.

A year later, the sequel, the original team can’t save the decline of reviews.

After five years, the third film appeared.

Douban score fell to 4.6 points.

The abuse is endless.

What’s the problem?

Today, let’s take a look at it-

Ode to Joy 3

Although all the leading groups have changed blood.

However, there are still traces of "the beauty of old five" in people’s designs.

Jiang Shuying plays the scientist Ye Zhenzhen.

The target is Andy.

The same is the elite of returnees.

Moreover, they are the backbone of the "five beauties" and will enthusiastically help others with their ideas.

Karlina plays Zhu Zhe.

The target is Fan Shengmei.

I climbed from a small waiter to the position of account manager step by step, and finally took root in a big city.

But he was dragged down by a group of relatives to suck blood, which was very suffocating.

Zhang Huiwen plays He Minhong.

This corresponds to Qiu Yingying’s self-abased, reckless and unlovable personality.

Always jumping to conclusions and giving labels to others.

When I saw a girl get into the old man’s car, I immediately suspected that he was not a serious person.

I also love writing "small compositions".

As soon as you encounter something you don’t like, write a long speech directly and criticize others from the moral high ground.

I don’t care about the feelings and feelings of others after seeing it.

And Yu Chuhui played by Haofei Li.

Sharp-tongued, mouth and tide wait for no man, comparable to Qu Xiaoyu.

It has been six years since the first Ode to Joy.

With the outbreak of female group drama, similar people set up copy and paste, which is rampant.

It has long been impossible to bring freshness to the audience.

The all-round degradation of the performance makes people feel on pins and needles.

So what should we do?

The screenwriter wants to add social issues and enrich the plot.

But it was self-defeating and became the biggest failure of the play.

The presentation of the topic is very suspended.

Take sexual harassment.

In reality, sneak shots in public places are often hidden and hard to detect.

The wretched man in the play, in public, put his mobile phone on the ground to sneak a shot of the protagonist’s skirt.

I’m afraid people around me won’t find out.

Sure enough, I was caught red-handed.

Then what happened was even more eye-opening.

The leading group actually staged a cat-and-mouse action drama with the wretched man.

Just when everyone was exhausted, I happened to meet a woman.

Three times, five times, divided by two, came a set of strong men to lock men.

This woman happens to be Fang Zhiheng, the new neighbor of the protagonists.

It took a long time to introduce her.

And sexual harassment in the workplace.

It turned into a small science experiment class.

The reason is that Zhu Zhe met a wonderful customer, and the sexual harassment waiter failed, so he deliberately blocked the keyhole of the suitcase with glue and complained to the hotel for compensation.

Zhu Zhe is angry, however, and wants customers to be punished.

Just came up with a strange way:

On the other hand, let other colleagues look for the glue bottle of the crime tool in the customer’s room.

On the other hand, Ye Zhenzhen, a scientist, made a special trip from the laboratory to open the suitcase by chemical means.

Take out solvent experiments one by one and lie that this is the unlocking process of the hotel.

In order to delay the time, after finding the evidence, the customer was sent to the station on the grounds of fraud.

In reality, do scientists really have time to help people unlock locks?

Can such a grandiose way of unlocking really deceive customers?

There are many slots without mouths.

In a word, in these two incidents of sexual harassment, the solution to the problem depends entirely on coincidence.

Sexual harassment itself has completely become a foil to the protagonist’s aura.

When this suspension reaches a certain level, it becomes dog blood.

The most typical is the plot line of Fang Zhiheng played by Yang Caiyu.

She was sexually harassed by her trusted boss, and was scolded by her boss, who framed her for seducing her first.

She lost her job and was laughed at by her colleagues.

I was even questioned by my parents that I had no self-esteem and self-love.

This became her psychological shadow.

And the way she chose to defend her rights was revenge.

Spent a lot of time and energy, changed his name and surname.

Wrap yourself up as a rich and beautiful girl.

Joined the boss’s son’s work unit and started the "father’s debt and son’s compensation" plan.

First, she deceived her boss’s son’s feelings and made him crazy.

And then framed him for sexual harassment.

Boy, what about the movie "The Temptation of Going Home"?

Issues that could have been dug deep have been made into farce.

People are on pins and needles, like a sore throat.

In addition to sexual harassment, the drama also forcibly touched on issues such as gender discrimination in the workplace and marriage promotion.

But the embarrassing thing is.

Many difficulties have never been experienced by the protagonists.

For example, Ye Zhenzhen has never experienced gender discrimination in the workplace.

He became a researcher in biochemistry at a young age and spent all day in the laboratory.

When talking about workplace discrimination, she was very surprised to ask:

"Is the employment situation of women so bad now? 」

It’s hard to empathize with her later views.

As for the problem of urging marriage faced by many women, she has never experienced it.

When others mention it, she will also use her career as a reason to be glad that she will not be urged to get married.

"Most people will kindly explain to me that they are dedicated to science. 」

So lightly brought this topic.

It seems that female scientists can stay away from all kinds of disturbances.

Unfortunately, this is just an illusion.

In reality, even top female scientists will face workplace discrimination and marriage promotion.

Wang Xiaoyun, a cryptographer, was once questioned after deciphering the code.

Wu Jianxiong, a nuclear physicist, wrote after missing the Nobel Prize: "When my research was deliberately ignored for some reason, it still hurt me deeply. 」

And Yan Ning, a biologist who was "honored" in the play.

Even though he has achieved the academician level, he has been urged by many netizens to get married and persuade him to take off the bill.

Until the end, she couldn’t bear to speak.

"Not getting married is just a life choice, and I don’t owe anyone an explanation. 」

The lack of understanding of reality has led to the failure to discuss women’s issues in this play.

Reduced to one sermon after another.

Ye Zhenzhen drove millions of luxury cars and kept his mouth shut about the truth.

It seems that an AI is mechanically outputting.

Zhu Zhe returned home after dealing with the hotel clients who sexually harassed waiters.

Everyone suddenly sat together to express their feelings.

Talk about the "imperfect law" about sexual harassment.

Zhu Zhe is like a leader, combing the spirit of the meeting.

It looks like a strategically located building, but it’s actually empty.

When Ye Zhenzhen asked a question, she added, "Pastor, that’s a good question.".

I’m so embarrassed that I dig my toes.

Even the barrage is spitting.

"Is this a talk show? 」

"Become a social education album. 」

"I don’t respect the IQ of the audience. 」

The oral output of golden sentences only remains superficial for the excavation of women’s predicament.

The effect is often counterproductive.

Women’s issues and women’s group portrait scripts are a perfect match.

It is easy to resonate with the audience.

The premise is that it is based on the true feelings brought by individual circumstances.

"Love is delicious" talks about the social prejudice against outstanding women.

Xia Meng is a very outstanding woman since childhood.

But Excellence has always been a problem for her.

She clearly realizes that her boyfriend can’t accept the situation that women are stronger than men.

"Although her boyfriend can accept her Excellence, it is also limited. Once a certain limit is exceeded, their relationship will never go back. 」

Therefore, she can only hide others.

In all aspects of daily life, take care of her boyfriend’s face and tolerate her poor self-esteem.

Because of her Excellence, she was misinterpreted as a cold knife, and was also labeled as "unruly", "pushy" and "harsh".

Even criticized by her boyfriend for "not looking like a woman."

So that after breaking up, when she met a new boyfriend, Xia Meng made a big drama just to cover up her true identity.

Through the strong black humor, the precise irony of reality is completed.

There is also "I am fine in a foreign country" that mentions women’s anxiety about marriage and love.

Ji Nanjia has a successful career.

But my mother urged me to get married.

"You don’t even have a boyfriend. What’s the use of making more money? 」

Such a successful woman has only the label of "leftover women" in his population.

Being picked on by blind dates who are obviously not as good as her.

Under the secular prejudice, the career value of women is constantly devalued.

This has uncovered the marriage dilemma of some women naked.

However, many women’s group dramas now completely regard women’s issues as traffic passwords.

Heap up various women’s issues and try to increase the discussion of the series.

Keep marketing this kind of hot search.

Only gimmicks, no kernel.

This also leads to a phenomenon of putting the cart before the horse.

In order to quickly expand the topic of women, attract the audience and make the female friendship in the play vain.

Just like in Ode to Joy 3.

The beginning of the "new five beauties" friendship is just that Ye Zhenzhen has taught three women who have just moved into the community the knowledge of 84 disinfectant.

After that, several people ate together and quickly became one, talking about everything.

Compared with reality, let alone neighbors, many people are not familiar with their roommates.

The more it seems that such a plot is unrealistic.

There is also "the north is the south".

Wang Luodan’s character happened to be on the same flight as the hostess.

When I was shopping in the supermarket, I happened to meet again.

At this time, she also got the help of the hostess to find her lost wallet.

The friendship between the two began in a coincidence.

When the washing machine of the hostess broke down, she sent a high-grade washing machine directly to the hostess who had just known her for a few days.

It is as exaggerated as the previous internet craze "three sentences cost men 180 thousand"

A female group drama, but there is no delicate portrayal of female friendship.

Instead, it tries to make up for the weakness of the content with social issues.

This is essentially a kind of laziness.

Once, "Ode to Joy" didn’t force its value, but it could arouse the discussion of real topics on the whole network.

The heat remains high.

Now, "Ode to Joy 3" has tried its best to insert so many "explosive points".

But all are dumb.

It shows the attitude of the audience.

We still need female group dramas.

But, definitely not this kind.

The full text is over.

If you feel good, just click "Like" and "Watching".

Original title: "Begging for domestic drama, stop rubbing her traffic"

AI current affairs pictorial | supercomputing

If artificial intelligence is likened to a pot of sweet and palatable rice, then the computing power is firewood, the data is rice, and the algorithm is the chef of steamed rice. Under the technology-driven background of the continuous development of artificial intelligence, the demand for top computing power is growing continuously.

Compared with ordinary computers we use every day, supercomputers refer to computers that can perform a large amount of data and high-speed operations that ordinary personal computers can’t handle. They have strong data storage capacity and fast data processing speed, and are mostly used in cutting-edge technology research and national high-tech fields, which is an important symbol of national scientific and technological development level and comprehensive national strength.

Since 2009, China has built six national supercomputing centers in Tianjin, Shenzhen, Jinan, Changsha, Guangzhou and Wuxi. Relying on the national supercomputing center, supercomputers with "China Core" constantly refresh China’s "speed".

From June 2013 to November 2015, China’s "Tianhe II" supercomputer ranked first among the top 500 supercomputers in the world for six consecutive times. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made an important instruction: "The successful development of Tianhe-2 supercomputer system indicates that China has been at the forefront of the world in the field of supercomputers."

On June 20th, 2016, the "Shenwei Taihu Light" supercomputer developed in China won the first place in the global supercomputer list with nearly three times the computing speed of the second place, and its computing power in one minute is equivalent to that of 7.2 billion people in the world. At the same time, it has been continuously calculated with a calculator for 32 years.

On November 17th, the same year, the whole machine application "Full Implicit Simulation of Global Atmospheric Dynamics Approved by Ten Million Nuclear Powers" based on "Shenwei Light of Taihu Lake" won the "Gordon Bell Award", realizing the "zero" breakthrough of China Supercomputer in this field.

On May 28, 2018, at the 19th Academician Conference of China Academy of Sciences and the 14th Academician Conference of China Academy of Engineering, the General Secretary specifically mentioned the development achievement of "Shenwei Taihu Light": "Supercomputers won the world’s crown for 10 consecutive times, using domestic chips ‘ Shenwei Light of Taihu Lake ’ Won the highest award for high performance computing applications ‘ Gordon Bell Prize ’ 。”

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, when expounding the great changes in the new era and ten years in the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, pointed out that basic research and original innovation have been continuously strengthened, breakthroughs have been made in some key core technologies, strategic emerging industries have grown stronger, supercomputers have made great achievements, and China has entered the ranks of innovative countries.

With the vigorous development of innovative computing power and a new generation of artificial intelligence technology, supercomputers have become a veritable big country.

Looking up at the starry sky, supercomputers can simulate the evolution of different cosmological models and help human beings get a glimpse of the mystery of dark matter. The "numerical wind tunnel" project can shorten the aerodynamic shape design cycle of aerospace vehicles such as large aircraft and rockets from one or two years to several days.

Based on the earth, supercomputers are widely used in oil and gas resources exploration, geological survey, large-scale engineering construction and so on. In the construction of Baihetan Hydropower Station, the research on seismic safety of arch dam abutment was carried out by using supercomputer, which provided a scientific basis for dam design.

Benefiting people’s livelihood, supercomputers have played a vital role in the fields of medicine, biomedicine and gene sequencing. "Tianhe Medical Health Big Data Industrialization Platform" provides services such as data storage, development and application for medical institutions, data development and algorithm application companies and multinational pharmaceutical companies.

Nowadays, the integration of supercomputing and artificial intelligence has become the core driving force for the transformation and upgrading of various industries and the development of digital economy in China. The White Paper on the Development of Intelligent Computing Industry released in 2023 shows that by 2025, the scale of China’s computing core industry will exceed 4.4 trillion yuan, and the scale of related industries will reach 24 trillion yuan.

As a productivity tool in the era of digital economy, supercomputing has become an important support for the high-quality development of economy and society, which shows the surging innovation vitality of China today.

Russia embraces "Chinese payment"

one

  In Russia, UnionPay cards have a considerable coverage. The picture shows the UnionPay card logo that can be seen everywhere in the mall.

  Our reporter Wu Yanshe

  Shopping in the mall, a UnionPay card can be done; Take the subway bus and scan the code with Alipay … … China people are familiar with the "swipe card and scan code" payment method, which is rapidly spreading to more and more Russian cities and commercial service systems.

  Entering the new year, the news from unionpay international said that before the 2018 fifa world cup Games, the acceptance coverage of UnionPay cards at local ATMs and merchants’ POS terminals will be further increased to 90%. Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Volgograd and other competition host cities will basically realize the barrier-free acceptance of UnionPay cards. Official website Airlines such as Aeroflot and Siberian Airlines also offer UnionPay card payment services.

  Almost at the same time, two large supermarket chains "Lianta" and "Dixie", which ranked third and fourth in Russian turnover, also said that they would officially launch Alipay system around the Spring Festival in China. Previously, Moscow’s bus, subway, paid bicycles and other urban transportation systems have announced the introduction of Alipay, which can scan the code to purchase tickets.

  Whether it is the traditional settlement mode based on UnionPay or the new mobile payment represented by Alipay, "Chinese-style payment" has accelerated its landing in Russia, but also opened up new space for future cooperation between the two sides.

  Follow the Chinese people in striding "out to sea"

  "It was our idea to accept Alipay. You know, this is one of the most popular payment methods in China. " In July last year, the central department store in Moscow, an all-Russian high-end shopping center near Red Square, launched the Alipay system for the first time. When asked by Russian media about the original intention of this move, Aleksandr Pavlov, CEO of the shopping mall, said so.

  China’s huge tourist group and spending power are the important reasons why Russian banking system is willing to cooperate with UnionPay and Alipay, and are also the interests of countless merchants who are willing to access payment systems.

  Statistics released recently by the Russian World Without Borders Tourism Association show that in 2017, more than 900,000 "visa-free" tourists from China visited, an increase of 18% over the previous year. It is estimated that during the 2018 World Cup, there will be at least 100,000 Russian tourists visiting China. According to the statistics of the Russian Embassy in China, there are more than 30,000 students studying in China and Russia, and in recent years, the number of personnel exchanges between China and Russia has exceeded 3 million.

  "We have noticed that the number of people in China continues to grow." Alexei, director of the Commercial Department of the Russian Foreign Trade Bank, said, "The potential size of this market will reach 300 billion rubles (about 33 billion yuan) per year."

  To support this view, Pavlov revealed that 9% of the turnover of Moscow Central Department Store comes from tourists from China. In Leningrad Shopping Mall in St Petersburg, another famous tourist city, the proportion of turnover contributed by China consumers is as high as 22%.

  In fact, in order to win the market and users, the payment enterprises in China are also trying their best, including "subsidies" and "concessions". Duty-free shops and shopping malls in major airports in Russia often post preferential information similar to "15% discount on UnionPay cards", and Alipay also attracts users with "the best exchange rate". In the Gagarin Square business district in Moscow, there are many shops, and more than 80% of them can be marked with UnionPay cards. In a brand monopoly shoe store, salesgirl Valentina told reporters that the store has been paying with UnionPay for 9 years.

  More and more local Russian residents have also started to apply for and use UnionPay cards. More than 10 local banks such as Natural Gas Industrial Bank, Agricultural Bank of Russia and Binhai Social Bank have issued nearly 1.3 million UnionPay cards. In July, 2017, unionpay international and Russian National Payment Card Company realized card issuing cooperation. MIR cards, which were originally used only in Russia, were expanded to more than 160 countries and regions covered by UnionPay network, greatly improving the convenience of Russian residents in using cards across borders.

  The Belt and Road Initiative creates more opportunities.

  There are some backgrounds for Russia to accelerate the introduction of "Chinese payment".

  Take UnionPay as an example, it entered the Russian market in 2006, but the explosive growth was mainly after 2014. That year, Visa and MasterCard, which dominated the Russian credit card market due to sanctions from the United States and Europe, stopped providing payment services in many banks in Russia. Therefore, the Russian government is determined to establish its own payment system and realize a diversified settlement system. At that time, China and Russia had established a comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation, and China UnionPay, as one of the world-renowned international credit cards, received more attention. According to Fan Jiguang, the representative of China UnionPay in Russia, in the following three years, the number of cards issued by UnionPay in the local area surged to 2 million.

  The construction of the "Belt and Road" has also created greater opportunities for Sino-Russian financial cooperation.

  On the one hand, with the promotion of policy communication, facility connectivity, smooth trade, financial intermediation and popular support, the payment of people coming and going in the "Belt and Road" region needs to be smooth and convenient; On the other hand, with Russia as the main radiation source, including Central Asia and CIS countries, there is a need to improve the modernization level of financial payment, safeguard domestic financial security and reduce the use of cash.

  In May last year, the Federal Savings Bank, Russia’s largest bank, launched the UnionPay card acceptance business; In August, the Foreign Trade Bank, the second largest bank in Russia, also opened its merchants to accept UnionPay cards on the basis of realizing all available UnionPay cards at ATMs. In 2017 alone, the number of merchants and ATMs accepting UnionPay cards in Russia has more than doubled, reaching a total of 630,000 merchants and 100,000 ATMs. In countries and regions along the Belt and Road, more than 50 UnionPay cards have been used.

  Another important factor is China’s outstanding leadership in the field of mobile payment.

  In recent years, the globalization of cashless services of mobile payment enterprises in China has accelerated. Not only are there new mobile payment enterprises represented by Alipay and WeChat, but even traditional cross-border payment institutions such as UnionPay have also introduced mobile payment methods such as "China Unionpay Quick Pass", which has developed rapidly and been widely used, making it difficult for European and American countries to reach. In Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions, Alipay alone has access to more than 120,000 overseas offline merchants, supporting 18 kinds of foreign currency settlement. When German youth Alfred wrote to the President "I hope to bring Alipay back to Germany" and China’s popular mobile applications were localized overseas, "Indian Alipay" and "Philippine WeChat Payment" were born. Russia, eager for financial innovation, hoped to achieve "overtaking in corners" through China’s mature cashless payment technology and experience.

  Overseas stories have just begun.

  In the face of the expansion of "Chinese payment" in Russia, both unionpay international and Alipay, the relevant person in charge invariably stressed when interviewed by this reporter, "This is only the first step. The story has just begun. "

  In fact, the "story" has already begun in Southeast Asia and other countries and regions.

  In Laos, in November 2015, the Laos National Bank Card Payment System project, which was jointly built by UnionPay, China National Development Bank and Laos Central Bank, was launched to help Laos build a national bank card payment system covering the whole territory; In Thailand, after the UnionPay chip card standard became the industry standard in Thailand, UnionPay provided Thailand with the construction standard of bank card transfer system. UnionPay has also become the sole provider of cross-border chip card standards of the Asian Payment Alliance (APN), and signed an authorization cooperation agreement for chip card standards with seven member institutions — — This means that the mainstream switching networks in Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and other countries will take the UnionPay chip card standard as the technical standard for accepting and issuing cards.

  Russia is an important country along the "Belt and Road" and a key area connecting Central and Eastern Europe and radiating the CIS. The layout of "Chinese-style payment" here not only means that RMB has taken an important step in the internationalization journey, but also realizes the "going out" of technology, products, services and brands by participating in the construction of payment infrastructure in overseas markets and the docking and interconnection of technical standards systems, and improves the right to speak on modern payment standards.

  Another trend of the "story" is that it may trigger a "peripheral revolution" brought about by financial technology innovation in the Internet era. Take Alipay as an example. When China consumers download Alipay apps from their mobile phones, they will automatically switch to overseas versions when they come overseas, which not only has the function of "wallet", but also provides a lot of "outbound" services, including information on eating, drinking and having fun in the local area, ticket purchase for scenic spots, preferential treatment for "nearby" merchants and so on. As Bogdahn Zarozhne, the head of Alipay in Russia, said, "We provide more than just payment tools, but also hope to create a lifestyle-changing application."

  It can be expected that with the rapid development of cross-border payment, a new round of cross-border electronic commerce transactions will be promoted rapidly. With the overseas expansion of "Chinese-style payment", the format of banks, the reconstruction of credit system, the form of money, the security of payment, the construction of e-commerce platform and even the supervision of online payment will also face new challenges.
