In the WeChat circle of friends, many people have long been accustomed to Wechat business’s advertisements for various "exotic" products. In order to bring the goods, they may even attach photos of handsome guys and beautiful women to attract attention. However, have you ever seen "Wechat business" who only takes selfies, but is vague about the products he sells?

　　The fight brought out an "extra-case case". Where did her money come from with high consumption but no job?

　　In mid-October, 2019, a fight broke out in a bar in Rui ‘an, Zhejiang Province. Three men were injured after drinking because of trivial matters. When they were taken by the police to the police station for verification, in the WeChat of one of the suspects, a circle of friends that looked no different from Wechat business’s advertisement caught the attention of the police: selfies of various shapes, unintelligible emoticons, and a copy of "lightning delivery".

　　Although it is a common expression such as leaves, pills and balloons, similar friends circle is often sent out late at night and will be deleted soon. According to experience, these specific icons often represent that they are selling contraband.

　　The suspect confessed that the publisher of this information was a young girl he met in a bar not long ago — — Yu. Yu is a local, but she lives in a hotel all the year round. There are many young unemployed girls living in the hotel with her. Yu sleeps in the hotel during the day and hangs out in major bars in the dark.

　　Yu, who graduated from junior high school, used to earn money by dancing in bars. Soon, she found a way to get money faster. Yu is beautiful, and she has accumulated contacts in the bar earlier, and people often come to chat with her. Encouraged by her colleagues, she decided to take advantage of this to attract customers and recommend something to bar regulars that would make them more "hi".

　　When the police tracked Yu, they witnessed a deal: Yu first met a man in black downstairs in the hotel, and then a man in white took the man in black to another hotel. The man in white handed a bag of things to the man in black in the lobby, and the two parted ways. The police immediately stopped the man in black to ask him what he had just taken in the hotel. The man in black insisted that he only bought two "cigarettes", and the police did only find two "cigarettes" from the man in black.

　　However, on closer inspection, the shape of these two "cigarettes" proves that things are not so simple.

　　Paying off the loan by drug trafficking, eating, drinking and having fun, they said, "People can’t have too much money anyway."

　　Different from ordinary cigarettes, the two seized "cigarettes" are knotted at the top. After being disassembled, it will be found that the filter tip has been removed, only the bottom is filled with normal tobacco, and the rest are green tobacco. It has been identified that green tobacco contains heroin and methamphetamine.

　　It is such a "cigarette" with the purchase price of 120 yuan and the retail price of 500 yuan. The "leaf" expression released by Yu in the circle of friends has finally been solved.

　　Cigarettes, milk tea, coffee, candy … … Drugs are disguised as various "foods" by drug dealers in every way, which is not only convenient for trading, but also makes people who come into contact for the first time put down their vigilance and believe that they are just ordinary things that can mobilize their emotions in the mouth of drug dealers, and they have become addicted to drugs without knowing it.

　　Tracing back to Yu, the police found Zhao, who was in charge of purchasing goods, a marketer in a bar to attract customers. The first time Zhao came into contact with "Leaves" was at a friend’s party. Zou was Zhao’s girlfriend’s boyfriend and also attended the party. Out of curiosity, Zou tried one. Although he realized afterwards that "leaves" were drugs, he still discussed drug trafficking with Zhao.

　　Zou and Zhao usually live a life of eating, drinking and having fun. Zou even owes an online loan. They don’t want to let go of this opportunity to make quick money easily. They are lucky enough to get in touch with the family who sells "leaves" to their friends, and also pull Yu into the partnership.

　　Pretending to be a "drug dealer", the police successfully found out Zhao’s last family, Yang. Yang owed debts because he was not good at running a tattoo shop. He also met people who smoked "leaves" in bars and regarded drug trafficking as a "way to make money".

　　Different from drug trafficking, which is mostly underground crime in the past, the forms of drugs are also "varied" in the increasing crackdown, and the target has begun to turn to teenagers hanging out in bars and other social places.

　　Yu said that after dropping out of junior high school, he began to muddle along. Besides sleeping, he was a bar, and so were his friends around him. He was used to a decadent life and unconsciously took the road of life.

　　Six people including Yu, Zhao, Zou and Yang were arrested one after another. Who is Yang’s family? How many floors do they have to go home? Where does "cut tobacco" come from? The case is still under further investigation.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:On November 2nd, local time, US Secretary of State Pompeo and Finance Minister Mnuchin jointly issued a statement announcing that sanctions on Iranian energy and banking will be restarted on the 5th of this month. This is the second batch of sanctions against Iraq restarted after the United States announced its withdrawal from the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue in May this year. At that time, the United States will fully resume the sanctions against Iraq lifted by the Iranian nuclear deal.

　　　　　　 US Secretary of State Pompeo said that the latest targets of sanctions will include Iran’s energy, shipbuilding, transportation and financial industries, and the US will impose sanctions on countries and enterprises that continue to buy Iranian oil and do business with blacklisted Iranian companies from November 5.

　　　　　　 Pompeo said that eight countries or regions will be granted temporary exemptions and can continue to purchase Iranian petroleum products, because they have greatly reduced Iranian crude oil imports, and the United States will give them more time to achieve "zero imports". The United States will ensure that this part of the Iranian government’s income from petroleum products can only be used for humanitarian procurement and non-sanction trade. According to foreign media reports, the eight exempted countries and regions may include Japan, South Korea, India and Turkey, and the US will announce the full list on November 5th.

　　　　　　 In addition, Pompeo also listed 12 requirements that need to be met in order to lift the sanctions against Iran, including "stopping the financing of terrorism, stopping military operations in Syria, and stopping the research and development of ballistic missiles" and so on.

　　　　　　 After announcing its withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear comprehensive agreement in May this year, the White House announced on August 6 that it would restart a series of sanctions on Iran’s finance, metals, minerals, automobiles and other non-energy fields from August 7. Sanctions will involve the Iranian government’s purchase of precious metals such as dollars and gold, industrial graphite, steel, aluminum, coal and software, transactions related to Iranian currency, activities related to the issuance of sovereign debt by the Iranian government, and the Iranian automobile industry.

　　　　　　 Up to now, the U.S. government has imposed 19 rounds of sanctions on Iran in 168 fields. On November 5th, the U.S. Treasury Department will publish a list of more than 700 individual units that have been sanctioned, including more than 300 new targets in addition to those that have been lifted by the the Iranian nuclear deal.

　　　　　　 According to Reuters, Turkey and Iraq have received confirmation that they can be exempted from the US sanctions against Iran.

　　　　　　 Turkish Energy Minister Donmez No.2 said that Turkey has received the exemption confirmation from the United States and can continue to import oil from Iran for the time being. An Iraqi official also said on the same day that he had received permission from the United States to continue to import key energy and food materials from Iran as long as he did not pay dollars to Iran. In addition, according to a source, India and South Korea are also on the exemption list of the United States.

　　　　　　 [Response] Iran called the new round of sanctions "not worth mentioning"

　　　　　　 After the United States announced that it would fully resume sanctions against Iran, US President Trump said that sanctions against Iran are beginning and Iran will be hit hard. In this regard, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman No.2 said that Iran is not worried about the new sanctions against the United States because the United States will not be able to implement sanctions against Iran. The spokesman also said that under the sanctions of the United States, Iran also has the ability to manage economic affairs well.

　　　　　　 Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ghasemi told national television on the same day that "the United States will not be able to take any effective measures against Iran, and Iran has the knowledge and ability to manage national economic affairs." He also said that "through these sanctions, the United States can achieve its economic goals. The possibility is very small, and it is impossible to achieve its political goals through such sanctions."

　　　　　　 In response to the announcement by the United States that it will exempt eight countries and regions that import oil from Iran, Cadol, deputy minister of Iranian Oil Ministry, said that the exemption shows that "the oil market needs Iran, and Iran cannot completely withdraw".

　　　　　　 In May this year, the United States announced its withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal, and since then, it has repeatedly imposed sanctions on Iran. The State Council announced in June that it would ask countries to stop importing Iranian oil in November, otherwise relevant countries and enterprises would face economic sanctions.

　　　　　　 [Impact] Rising prices have affected people’s lives

　　　　　　 Since the US sanctions started in August this year, the Iranian currency, the Iranian rial, has depreciated sharply, which has greatly affected people’s lives. After the US sanctions were launched, the Iranian rial fell to an all-time low against the US dollar. In the local unofficial market, the currency depreciation once exceeded three times. As a result, residents’ savings have shrunk and prices have risen rapidly. When the reporter interviewed in Tehran, the capital of Iran, many people said that the cost of living has increased and life is getting worse.

　　　　　　 The Iranian people say that they simply don’t believe the US government’s statement that "the purpose of sanctions is only to put pressure on the Iranian government", because it is the people who suffer. The local people told reporters that although the Iranian country and people are suffering, they are not afraid and will not bow to hegemony. On the contrary, the United States is losing its international credibility in this sanctions.

　　　　　　 [Statement] European countries deeply regret the US decision.

　　　　　　 In response to the United States’ announcement of a comprehensive resumption of sanctions against Iran, the EU, France, Germany and Britain said in a joint statement that they deeply regret the decision of the United States.

　　　　　　 Mogherini, the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and the finance ministers of France, Germany and Britain said that they would protect European economic entities that have legitimate business dealings with Iran under the European legal framework and UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

　　In the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Supreme Leader emphasized that innovation is the first driving force for development and the strategic support for building a modern economic system. In accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, it is of great and far-reaching significance to take accelerating the construction of an innovative country as the overall strategic measure of modernization, firmly implement the innovation-driven development strategy, strengthen the position and role of innovation as the first driving force, and highlight the leading role of scientific and technological innovation in all-round innovation.

　　Deeply understand the great significance of accelerating the construction of an innovative country

　　The main symbol of an innovative country is that science and technology and talents have become the most important strategic resources for a strong national strength. The improvement of labor productivity and social productivity mainly depends on scientific and technological progress and comprehensive innovation. It has a number of world-class scientific research institutions, research universities and innovative enterprises, and the innovative legal system environment, market environment and cultural environment are excellent. The essence of an innovative country is to rely on innovation activities to promote economic development and improve competitiveness, and its measurement indicators are mainly reflected in innovation resources, knowledge creation, enterprise innovation, innovation performance, innovation environment and so on.

　　Accelerating the construction of an innovative country is an inherent requirement for China to move towards a modern power. Science and technology are the sharp weapon of the country, and all the modern powers in the world are innovation powers and science and technology powers. The strategic goal of building an innovative country in China is to enter the ranks of innovative countries by 2020, to be in the forefront of innovative countries by 2035, and to become a world science and technology power by the centenary of the founding of New China. At present, China’s development has reached a new historical starting point and is moving from a developing country to a modern power. If we can’t win in the field of innovation, we can’t grasp the opportunities and advantages of global competition, and we will lose support in moving towards a modern power. We must speed up the construction of an innovative country, highlight the improvement of scientific and technological innovation ability, and support a modern power with a strong country of science and technology.

　　Accelerating the construction of an innovative country is an inevitable choice to solve the main social contradictions in the new era in China. At present, the main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development. In particular, economic development is big but not strong, big but not excellent, the driving force of factors is obviously weakened, and new kinetic energy has not been fully connected. The demand for scientific and technological innovation in economic and social development has never been as urgent as it is today. Only by speeding up the construction of an innovative country and fully practicing the development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing in the whole process of economic and social development can we accelerate the transformation to connotative development mainly relying on knowledge accumulation, technological progress and the improvement of labor quality, realize a fundamental change in the endogenous motivation and vitality of China’s development, and open up a broader space for solving major social contradictions.

　　Accelerating the construction of an innovative country is a strategic measure to seize the historical opportunity of the new scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. At present, a new round of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is gestating, especially information technology, biotechnology, manufacturing technology, etc., which have widely penetrated into various fields, and led to major group technological changes characterized by green, intelligence and ubiquity. The pace of integration of next-generation information technologies such as big data, cloud computing and mobile Internet with robots and intelligent manufacturing technologies is accelerating, which is triggering a major adjustment of international industrial division of labor, thus reshaping the world competition pattern and changing the balance of national power. China is faced with a rare historical opportunity to catch up and leapfrog, but also a severe challenge to widen the gap. Only by accelerating the construction of an innovative country, comprehensively enhancing the ability of scientific and technological innovation, and striving to achieve leapfrog development in important scientific and technological fields can we win the strategic initiative in the new round of global competition.

　　Firmly implement the strategy of innovation-driven development

　　The innovation-driven development strategy is related to the overall situation of China’s economic and social development. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China puts forward the strategy of firmly implementing innovation-driven development, which shows that our party regards the implementation of this strategy as a major and long-term task and puts it at the core of the overall development of the country.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has made remarkable achievements in implementing the innovation-driven development strategy. The contribution rate of scientific and technological progress to economic growth has increased from 52.2% in 2012 to 56.2% in 2016, which has effectively promoted industrial transformation and upgrading. Breakthroughs have been made in the industrialization of major scientific and technological achievements such as high-speed railways, hydropower equipment, UHV power transmission and transformation, hybrid rice, Earth observation satellites, Beidou navigation, electric vehicles, etc. Some industries are at the forefront of the world, continuously improving the quality and efficiency of China’s economic development and expanding the new space for China’s development.

　　To implement the innovation-driven development strategy, it is necessary to highlight the supporting and leading role of scientific and technological innovation in supply-side structural reform and fostering new kinetic energy for development. First, promote the innovation of industrial technology system around the new generation information network, intelligent green manufacturing, modern agriculture, modern energy and other fields, pay attention to the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries with new technologies and new formats, and lead the development of emerging industrial clusters with the support of technological breakthroughs. The second is to promote the integration of technological innovation, management innovation and business model innovation, expand emerging service industries such as digital consumption, e-commerce, modern logistics and internet finance, and vigorously develop digital economy, platform economy, sharing economy and intelligent economy. The third is to vigorously promote innovation and entrepreneurship, establish a number of low-cost, convenient and open creative spaces and virtual innovation communities, and incubate and cultivate innovative small and micro enterprises with "specialization and novelty". Fourth, create new economic growth points, growth zones and growth poles, deepen the construction of globally influential scientific and technological innovation centers in Beijing and Shanghai, accelerate the coordinated innovation of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Economic Belt and the eastern and western regions, strengthen the radiation-driven role of national independent innovation demonstration zones and national high-tech zones, and build a number of innovative cities and regional innovation centers with strong driving effects.

　　Promoting new breakthroughs in key areas of scientific and technological innovation around "three orientations"

　　Facing the forefront of world science and technology, facing the main battlefield of economy and facing the major needs of the country is the main strategic direction of China’s scientific and technological innovation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the forward-looking layout and systematic promotion of the "Three Orientations" have been significantly strengthened, and breakthroughs in scientific and technological innovation have been significantly accelerated. Benchmarking the forefront of international science and technology, China has achieved a large number of major original achievements in basic research and applied basic research fields such as quantum communication and computer, high temperature superconductivity and neutrino oscillation, and its international influence has been greatly enhanced. Facing the main battlefield of economy, a series of major technical and engineering breakthroughs have been achieved in major national science and technology projects, and the mobile communication field has developed by leaps and bounds from "2G following", "3G breakthrough", "4G parallel" to "5G leading", and the C919 large passenger plane made its first flight successfully. Focusing on the major needs of national development, China has achieved a number of landmark major scientific and technological innovations with international influence in strategic areas such as deep space, deep sea, deep ground and deep blue, such as manned spaceflight and lunar exploration, manned deep diving, deep drilling and supercomputing.

　　At the same time, we should also see that basic research in China is still weak. Original technology and subversive technology are relatively insufficient, and key core technologies in many fields are subject to people. It is necessary to integrate scientific and technological resources more effectively and accelerate breakthroughs. First, strengthen basic research and applied basic research, and strengthen the source reserve of new ideas, methods, principles and knowledge. Second, focus on major national science and technology projects, organize Industry-University-Research to jointly tackle key problems, and break through a number of key common technologies in the fields of information, biology, new energy, new materials and artificial intelligence. The third is to launch "Science and Technology Innovation 2030— Major projects ",increase efforts in the fields of space, ocean, network, materials, energy and health, and break through and master a number of original and subversive technologies. The fourth is to promote modern engineering technology research and demonstration application, and strengthen technology development and integration, equipment development and large-scale application for marine engineering, heavy equipment, transportation, power grid, modern agriculture and other fields.

　　Strengthen the construction of national innovation system

　　National innovation system is the basis of determining the level of national development, strategic scientific and technological forces are the backbone of national innovation system, and international competition is largely the competition of scientific and technological innovation capability systems.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of China’s scientific and technological innovation capability system has reached a new level. The construction of scientific and technological innovation bases has been accelerated, the comprehensive national science center has been promoted as a whole, and breakthroughs have been made in the construction of large-scale scientific research infrastructure. Major scientific and technological facilities such as the world’s largest spherical radio telescope (FAST) with a diameter of 500 meters and the super-large hypersonic shock wind tunnel will be built, and innovative platforms such as the State Key Laboratory will be laid out. At the same time, we will promote the open sharing of science and technology infrastructure platforms, and bring 58 major scientific research infrastructures and 58,000 sets of large scientific research instruments into a unified national network management platform. A number of large-scale comprehensive scientific research institutions have greatly improved their research capabilities and moved forward in international rankings. The technological innovation capability of enterprises has been further enhanced. In 2016, enterprises accounted for more than 77.5% of the R&D expenditure of the whole society, and a number of internationally influential scientific and technological innovative enterprises emerged.

　　At present, in the face of the requirements of building a world science and technology power, we must vigorously strengthen the capacity building of the national innovation system and systematically build China’s strategic scientific and technological strength. First, lay out national laboratories in major innovation fields and build a strategic scientific and technological innovation base that reflects the will of the country and has a world-class level. Second, focus on energy, life, particle physics and other fields to build a number of major scientific and technological infrastructures, and accelerate the construction of three comprehensive science centers in Zhangjiang, Shanghai, Hefei, Anhui and Huairou, Beijing. The third is to optimize and integrate the layout of national scientific research bases and platforms, and make layout around the national strategy and innovation chain to promote the open sharing of scientific and technological resources. Fourth, according to the requirements of enterprise-oriented, market-oriented and Industry-University-Research’s deep integration, we will promote technological innovation, build a number of national technological innovation centers to lead enterprise innovation and industrial development, support a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises to enhance their innovation capabilities, and cultivate a number of innovative leading enterprises with outstanding core technological capabilities and strong integrated innovation capabilities. The national innovation system we are building is open, not closed. We should improve the internationalization level of scientific and technological innovation in all directions, build a "Belt and Road" collaborative innovation community, and actively take the lead or participate in international major scientific plans and projects.

　　Building a team of high-end scientific and technological innovation talents

　　Innovation drive is essentially talent drive, and comprehensive national strength competition is talent competition in the final analysis. Whoever has the advantage of talent will have the advantage of innovation strength.

　　There are still some problems in innovative scientific and technological talents in China, such as outstanding structural contradictions, lack of world-class scientific and technological masters, shortage of leading talents and top talents, and disconnection between engineering and technical personnel training and production and innovation practice. Therefore, the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to cultivate a large number of strategic scientific and technological talents, leading scientific and technological talents, young scientific and technological talents and high-level innovative teams with international standards. We should take this deployment as a priority task in implementing the innovation-driven development strategy and pay close attention to it. First, promote the strategic adjustment of the structure of innovative scientific and technological talents, strengthen the construction of high-end scientific and technological innovative talents, highlight the orientation of "high precision and sharp lack", and strengthen the selection and training of strategic scientific and technological talents, leading scientific and technological talents and high-level innovative teams. Second, aim at the world’s scientific and technological frontiers and strategic emerging industries, support and train young and middle-aged leading talents with development potential, and open up special support channels for young talents. The third is to cultivate a large number of entrepreneurial talents with global strategic vision, innovation ability and social responsibility, and protect entrepreneurs’ innovation income and property rights according to law. Fourth, continue to increase the introduction of overseas high-level talents, introduce high-level innovative talents such as chief scientists to the world, and achieve accurate introduction. Fifth, vigorously promote innovation education, enhance the innovation consciousness and ability of the whole society, and create a team of innovative and entrepreneurial talents with large scale, innovative spirit and dare to take risks.

　　Deepen the reform of science and technology system

　　To build an innovative country, we must adhere to the two-wheel drive of scientific and technological innovation and institutional innovation. Only when the two wheels work in harmony can the new engine driven by innovation be started at full speed.

　　The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to deepen the reform of the scientific and technological system, and we should work hard on the strength and methods of implementation. First, improve the inclusive policy system to support enterprise innovation, and increase the implementation of policies such as R&D expenses plus deduction, tax incentives for high-tech enterprises, and accelerated depreciation of fixed assets. The second is to promote the reform of project evaluation, talent evaluation and institutional evaluation to stimulate the enthusiasm of scientific and technological personnel. The third is to improve the national technology transfer system, cultivate a number of national technology transfer institutions with high professional level and strong service ability, establish and improve regional and industrial technology markets, and build a technology transfer network connecting innovative resources such as technology, capital and talents at home and abroad. The fourth is to strengthen the creation, protection and application of intellectual property rights, deepen the reform of rights management of scientific and technological achievements, improve the incentive evaluation system for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and strengthen the legal protection of intellectual property rights in innovative countries. The fifth is to create a fair, open and transparent market environment, establish a government procurement system in line with international rules, and expand the market space for innovative products and services.

　　Draw the greatest concentric circle of building a strong country and national rejuvenation

　　Qiushi magazine editorial department

　　"The greatest achievement of the United front work in the new era is to form an important thought on doing a good job in the United front work of the party in the new era in practice, and put forward a series of new ideas, new ideas and new strategies on strengthening and improving the United front work."

　　The United front is an important part of the party’s general line and policy, which has played an important role in different historical periods of China’s revolution, construction and reform. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC), represented by the Supreme Leader, have put forward a series of new ideas, new ideas and new strategies on strengthening and improving the United front work, profoundly answered major questions such as why the United front is needed in the new era, what kind of United front is needed, how to consolidate and develop the United front, and formed the important thought of General Secretary Supreme Leader on doing a good job in the United front work of the Party in the new era, and opened up a new realm of the modernization of Marxist United front theory in China.

　　From July 29th to 30th, 2022, the Central United Front Work Conference was held in Beijing. This is an important meeting with milestone significance on the eve of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the centenary of the United Front Policy put forward by our Party. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attended the meeting and delivered an important speech, which pointed out the direction for the development of the United front cause in the new era and provided fundamental follow-up. The article "Complete, accurate and comprehensive implementation of the important thinking on doing a good job in the party’s United front work in the new era" is part of the important speech of the General Secretary. In this important article, the general secretary fully affirmed the historic contribution of our party’s United front work in the past century and the historic achievements made in the new era, and systematically explained the new ideas, new ideas and new strategies formed in the United front work since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China from twelve aspects, which is highly political, ideological, theoretical and instructive. General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important thought on doing a good job in the Party’s United front work in the new era is a profound summary and wisdom crystallization of the development of the Party’s United front work in the past century, especially the practice of the United front work in the new era. It is an important part of Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era and the fundamental guideline of the United front work in the new era. The whole Party must implement it completely, accurately and comprehensively, and promote the United front work in the new era to create a new situation continuously.

　　"We must give full play to the important magic weapon role of the United front"

　　"We must consolidate and develop the broadest patriotic United front, draw the greatest unity of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, unite and unite our strength, forge great achievements through struggle, and jointly write the magnificent chapter of Chinese modernization!"

　　On the morning of December 29th, 2023, in Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Auditorium, Party and state leaders, such as the Supreme Leader General Secretary, got together with leaders of democratic parties, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, representatives of personages without party affiliation, heads of relevant departments of the central and state organs, and representatives of people from all walks of life in the capital to talk about friendship, discuss the country and welcome the new year together.

　　Establishing the broadest United front is an important magic weapon for the party to defeat the enemy and to govern and rejuvenate the country. In July 1922, the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China passed the Resolution on "Democratic United Front", which marked the formal proposal of our party’s United front policy. On October 4, 1939, Comrade Mao Zedong summed up the United front as one of the three magic weapons for the Party to defeat the enemy in the China Revolution in his "Introduction to communist party People". In November, 2021, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Resolution on the Great Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party’s Centennial Struggle adopted by the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee took "upholding the United front" as a historical experience of the Party’s Centennial Struggle. In October 2022, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader further emphasized in the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress: "The United front is a powerful magic weapon to unite people and gather strength."

　　The multi-party cooperation and political consultation system led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), as a basic political system in China, is a great political creation of the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China, democratic parties and personages without party affiliation, and it is a new political party system grown from the soil of China. For a long time, the democratic parties and the Communist Party of China (CPC) have coexisted for a long time, supervised each other, treated each other with sincerity, shared weal and woe, performed the function of democratic supervision, and made important contributions to helping the Communist Party of China (CPC) make scientific, democratic and legal decisions. The picture shows that on March 5, 2023, the first session of the 14th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference held a press conference for the leaders of the Democratic Party Central Committee and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce in the Great Hall of the People.

　　In the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has made overall arrangements for the United front work from the strategic height of governing the country. Under the guidance of the important thought of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on doing a good job in the party’s United front work in the new era, the United front work has made historic achievements, and the United front has shown a good situation of unity, forge ahead, pioneering and active.

　　"Now, the United front work is not outdated and unimportant, but more important." In this important article, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader raised the flag with firm and powerful words. "The United front is an important magic weapon for the party to defeat the enemy, govern and rejuvenate the country, and unite all Chinese people at home and abroad to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It must be adhered to for a long time"; It is clearly emphasized that "the historical position of the party, the internal and external situation it faces, and the mission and tasks it shoulders have undergone some major changes. The greater the change, the more it is necessary to develop the United front and carry out the United front work well."

　　"We must solve the problems of people’s heart and strength"

　　"People’s hearts turn to the back, power contrast is the key to the success or failure of the cause of the party and the people, and it is the biggest politics. The essential requirement of United front work is great unity and unity, which solves the problem of people’s heart and strength. "

　　The United front is born of unity and thrives on unity. The Party always adheres to great unity and unity, unites all forces that can be United, mobilizes all positive factors that can be mobilized, promotes the harmony of political party relations, ethnic relations, religious relations, class relations and compatriots at home and abroad, and maximizes the strength of common struggle. Today, China has formed a broad patriotic united front led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) and attended by all democratic parties and people’s organizations, including all socialist workers, builders of socialist cause, patriots who support socialism, patriots who support the reunification of the motherland and patriots who are committed to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　在这篇重要文章中，最高领袖总书记深刻阐明“必须解决好人心和力量问题”的重大意义，明确提出“这是党治国理政必须下大气力解决好的重大问题”。要把握好固守圆心和扩大共识的关系，把握好潜绩和显绩的关系，把握好原则性和灵活性的关系，把握好团结和斗争的关系，努力形成牢不可破的真团结，推动党的统战事业行稳致远。

　　“必须正确处理一致性和多样性关系”

　　“新的征程上，我们必须坚持大团结大联合，坚持一致性和多样性统一”。2021年7月1日，天安门城楼上，站在“两个一百年”的历史交汇点，最高领袖总书记发出号召。

　　统一战线是一致性和多样性的统一体。只有一致性、没有多样性，或者只有多样性、没有一致性，都不能建立和发展统一战线。正确处理一致性和多样性关系，奠定了统一战线建立、发展和巩固的重要基础，决定了统战工作的全部内容，是统一战线理论创新与实践发展的重要基石。一部统战史，就是一部形成、巩固、发展一致性，尊重、包容、引导多样性的历史，处理一致性和多样性是各个历史时期统战工作的主线。

　　The new era and new journey put forward new and higher requirements for the United front work to correctly handle the relationship between consistency and diversity. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made a series of important expositions and profoundly expounded this important issue. On May 18, 2015, at the Central United Front Work Conference, it was emphasized that to do a good job in United Front Work under the new situation, we must correctly handle the relationship between consistency and diversity and constantly consolidate the common ideological and political foundation; On September 20, 2019, at the working meeting of the Central Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the China People’s Political Consultative Conference, it was emphasized that the CPPCC should play the role of United front organization, adhere to great unity and unity, and adhere to consistency and diversity.

　　In this important article, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader further emphasized that to correctly handle the relationship between consistency and diversity, "the key is to persist in seeking common ground while reserving differences and carry forward ‘ Unity — Criticism — Unity ’ The fine tradition of seeking consistency in respecting diversity, finding the greatest common denominator and drawing the greatest concentric circle. "

　　"We must persist in developing and perfecting the new political party system in China"

　　"The multi-party cooperation and political consultation system led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), as a basic political system in China, is a great political creation of the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China, democratic parties and personages without party affiliation, and a new political party system that grew out of the soil of China."

　　On March 4, 2018, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech when attending the joint meeting of the members of the 13th session of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, incisively expounding the unique advantages and distinctive features of the new political party system in China, and profoundly revealing the essential differences between China’s political party system of "communist party’s leadership, multi-party cooperation, communist party’s governance and multi-party participation in politics" and the western multi-party system and two-party system.

　　The new political party system in China has developed in the great process of socialist revolution, construction and reform. After the founding of New China, the Communist Party of China (CPC) put forward the policy of "long-term coexistence and mutual supervision", and then further developed it into the policy of "long-term coexistence, mutual supervision, treating each other with all sincerity and sharing weal and woe", which established the long-term existence and development pattern of the new political party system in China. In 1993, "the system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation led by the Communist Party of China (CPC) will exist and develop for a long time" was written into the Constitution. In 2005, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China formulated opinions on further strengthening the construction of multi-party cooperation and political consultation system under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and in 2006 formulated opinions on strengthening the work of the CPPCC. The new political party system in China has been maturing, stereotyped and innovated.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has vigorously promoted the theoretical, policy and practical innovation of multi-party cooperation, strengthened the overall leadership of multi-party cooperation, and promoted the construction of multi-party cooperation system. Practice has proved that the new political party system in China is a basic political system conducive to national development, national rejuvenation, social progress and people’s happiness.

　　In this important article, the Supreme Leader General Secretary put forward two requirements on "we must persist in developing and perfecting the new political party system in China". First, "the United front must adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and at the same time promote multi-party cooperation to show a new atmosphere, achieve new improvement in ideological consensus, and perform their duties and responsibilities to show new achievements." Second, "all democratic parties should be good advisers, helpers and colleagues of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and strive to become Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s participating parties with firm politics, solid organization, strong performance, excellent work style and sound system".

　　"It is necessary to build a strong sense of the Chinese national community as the main line of the party’s national work"

　　"It is necessary to fully implement the Party’s 20th National Congress, accurately grasp the new stage features of the Party’s ethnic work, take building a strong sense of the Chinese nation community as the main line of the Party’s ethnic work and all work in ethnic areas, and constantly strengthen and improve the Party’s ethnic work".

　　On October 23, 2023, the third phase of the experience project of the China National Community Experience Hall was held in Beijing, and the Guangxi Experience Zone made a wonderful appearance. People’s picture Huang Yun/photo

　　On the afternoon of October 27th, 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech when he presided over the ninth collective study of the 20th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, which clearly emphasized the significance and role of building a strong sense of the Chinese nation community and put forward clear requirements for promoting the high-quality development of the Party’s ethnic work in the new era.

　　National unity is the lifeline of the people of all ethnic groups in China, and the sense of Chinese national community is the foundation of national unity. The formation of the Chinese nation community is the inevitable result of the historical development of the Chinese nation. China’s vast territory is jointly developed by all ethnic groups; The long history is written by all ethnic groups; Brilliant culture is jointly created by all ethnic groups; The great spirit is cultivated by all ethnic groups. Facts fully show that it is the recognition of the Chinese nation community that plays a decisive role in the formation of the Chinese nation, rather than factors such as race, blood, region and religion.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee, with the Supreme Leader as the core, has focused on the new situation and new features faced by ethnic work in the new era, creatively put forward the major thesis of "building a strong sense of the Chinese nation community" and led ethnic work to a new level in innovation and development. In May, 2014, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly put forward a major thesis of "the consciousness of the Chinese nation community" at the second Central Xinjiang Work Forum. In October, 2017, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China officially wrote "Building the Consciousness of the Chinese National Community" into party constitution. In March 2018, a meeting of the 13th National People’s Congress passed a constitutional amendment, and the word "Chinese nation" was written into the fundamental law of the country for the first time.

　　It is the "program" of the party’s national work in the new era to build a strong sense of the Chinese national community, and all work should focus on this. In this important article, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly demanded: "We must unswervingly follow the correct path of solving ethnic problems with China characteristics, promote the firm recognition of the great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Socialism with Chinese characteristics by all ethnic groups, and guide the people of all ethnic groups to firmly establish the community concept of sharing weal and woe, sharing weal and woe, and sharing destiny."

　　"We must adhere to the direction of China religion in China"

　　"Adhere to the direction of China religion in China and actively guide religion to adapt to socialist society".

　　In December 2021, at the National Conference on Religious Work, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader systematically expounded the new ideas, new concepts and new strategies of religious work in the new era, and made clear the guiding ideology, strategic objectives, key tasks and policy measures for adhering to the direction of China-oriented religion in China and doing a good job in religious work in the new era.

　　Religious work is an overall and strategic work related to the ruling future and destiny of the party. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has attached great importance to religious work, put forward a series of new ideas and new measures on religious work, and answered major theoretical and practical questions such as how to understand religion, how to deal with religious issues and how to do a good job in the Party’s religious work in the new era. The party’s religious work has been innovated and promoted, and positive results have been achieved. The implementation of the Party’s basic policy on religious work has been more comprehensive, the system and mechanism of religious work have been further improved, the legal system and policy framework of religious work have been increasingly improved, religious figures and religious believers have been increasingly aware of respecting the law and abiding by the law, and the China of religion in China has been gradually deepened.

　　It is the trend and law of religion’s survival and development that religion adapts to its society. Both local religions and foreign religions should constantly adapt to the development of our society, enrich the connotation of the times, and promote religious harmony, social harmony and national harmony. In this important article, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to "fully implement the Party’s theory, principles and policies on religious work in the new era, persist in protecting legality, stopping illegality, containing extremes, resisting infiltration, cracking down on crimes, improving the level of legalization of religious work, supporting the religious circles to strictly manage religion in an all-round way, and actively guiding religion to adapt to socialist society".

　　"We must do a good job in the United front work of non-party intellectuals and people of new social strata"

　　"The work of non-party intellectuals is an important work of the United front."

　　Non-Party intellectuals, as pioneers of productive forces, creators of culture and disseminators of knowledge, are an irreplaceable important force in implementing the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, strengthening the country through talents and driving development through innovation. At present, China’s population with college education or above has exceeded 218 million, about 170 million of whom are outside the party, and the number will continue to increase by several million every year in the future. "The new social stratum is the builder of socialism with Chinese characteristics", which mainly includes management technicians of private enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises, employees of intermediary organizations and social organizations, freelancers, and employees of new media. According to the survey in 2021, its total number is about 91 million. Practice has proved that doing a good job in the United front work of non-party intellectuals and new social strata is related to consolidating the class foundation and mass foundation of the party’s governance.

　　In this important article, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward the requirement that "to do a good job of non-party intellectuals, full respect is the premise, strengthening guidance is the key, and giving play to its role is the purpose"; For the new social strata, "we should organize them, strengthen guidance and play a role." In the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, the General Secretary further demanded: "Strengthen the ideological and political work of non-party intellectuals, do a good job in the work of new social strata, and strengthen the political guidance of common struggle."

　　"We must promote the healthy development of non-public economy and the healthy growth of non-public economic people"

　　"Promoting the healthy development of the non-public economy and the healthy growth of non-public economic people is a major economic issue and a major political issue."

　　China’s non-public economy has developed under the guidance of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s policies since the reform and opening up, which is an important foundation for stabilizing the economy, an important source of national tax revenue, an important subject of technological innovation, an important support for financial development and an important force for sustained and healthy economic development. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly reiterated "two unwavering" and "three unchanged", emphasizing: "unswervingly consolidate and develop the public sector of the economy, and unswervingly encourage, support and guide the development of the non-public sector of the economy"; "The position and role of the non-public sector of the economy in China’s economic and social development have not changed. Our principles and policies of unswervingly encouraging, supporting and guiding the development of the non-public sector of the economy have not changed. Our principles and policies of creating a good environment and providing more opportunities for the development of the non-public sector of the economy have not changed."

　　Both the public-owned economy and the non-public-owned economy are important components of the socialist market economy and an important foundation for China’s economic and social development. The public economy and the non-public economy complement each other and complement each other. Consolidating and developing the public economy well is not antagonistic to encouraging, supporting and guiding the development of the non-public economy, but organically unified. Any view that wants to deny the public ownership economy or the non-public ownership economy is not in the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, is not in line with the requirements of China’s reform and development, and is wrong.

　　Private economy is the main economic organization form of non-public economy and the internal element of China’s economic system. Private enterprises and private entrepreneurs are our own people. In this important article, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once again stressed from a political perspective that "the healthy development of the non-public economy and the healthy growth of non-public economic people must be promoted", and clearly demanded that "the education of ideals and beliefs should be carried out in depth, the pro-Qing political and business relations should be promoted, the high-quality development of the private economy should be promoted, and the non-public economic people should be guided to be qualified builders of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause".

　　"We must give full play to the role of United front work in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas to win people’s hearts."

　　On May 9, 2023, the 10th World Association of Overseas Chinese Associations closed in Beijing. The conference received enthusiastic support and active participation from overseas Chinese, and nearly 500 overseas Chinese delegation leaders from more than 130 countries and regions participated in offline activities.

　　The vast number of compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese are Chinese sons and daughters linked by blood. Doing their work well is of great significance to maintaining the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao, promoting the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and uniting all Chinese sons and daughters to work together for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has inherited and developed our party’s scientific theory on "one country, two systems", which has effectively promoted the practice of "one country, two systems" to be stable and far-reaching. Comprehensively promote the theoretical and practical innovation of Taiwan work, form the overall strategy of the party to solve the Taiwan Province issue in the new era, firmly grasp the leading power and initiative of cross-strait relations, vigorously safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and solidly promote the process of reunification of the motherland; We attach great importance to overseas Chinese affairs and emphasize the close unity of the vast number of overseas Chinese and returned overseas Chinese and their relatives, and give play to their positive role in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　In this important article, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward clear requirements around "we must give full play to the role of United front work in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas to win people’s hearts". In the field of Hong Kong and Macao, the General Secretary called for "developing and strengthening the forces that love Hong Kong and Macao, enhancing the national consciousness and patriotic spirit of our compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao, maintaining the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao, and ensuring ‘ One country, two systems ’ Practice is steady and far-reaching "; In the field of Taiwan, the General Secretary called for "implementing the Party’s overall strategy of solving the Taiwan Province issue in the new era, developing and strengthening Taiwan Province’s patriotic unity force, and opposing ‘ Taiwan independence ’ Separatist acts to promote the complete reunification of the motherland "; With regard to overseas United front work and overseas Chinese affairs, the General Secretary called for "actively guiding overseas Chinese and their families who have returned overseas Chinese to devote themselves to the modernization and peaceful reunification of the motherland around the theme of sharing the Chinese dream together".

　　"We must strengthen the construction of non-party representatives"

　　On December 6th, 2023, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Zhongnanhai, Beijing, held a forum for non-party people to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the leaders of the central committees of democratic parties, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and representatives of non-party people on the economic situation in 2023 and economic work in 2024. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the forum and delivered an important speech.

　　It is our party’s consistent policy to train and use non-party representatives and attach importance to their role in the country’s political and social life. In different historical periods, our party has always regarded uniting and cultivating non-party representatives as an important aspect of the overall work of the party and the state and an important political advantage in governing the country from a strategic height that determines the balance of power and affects the success or failure of the cause.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed: "We should intensify the training, selection and use of non-party representatives, and strive to cultivate a team of non-party representatives who consciously accept the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, unswervingly follow the Socialism with Chinese characteristics road, and have strong representativeness and the ability to participate in and discuss state affairs." A series of new ideas, new ideas and new strategies put forward by the General Secretary have scientifically answered the important strategic question of "What kind of non-party representatives our party needs in the new era and how to cultivate such a team of non-party representatives", which has provided direction guidance and fundamental follow-up for promoting the construction of non-party representatives in the new era.

　　Talent growth depends on both individual efforts and organizational training. In this important article, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized: "It is necessary to strengthen training, improve quality, use it scientifically and play its role, and strive to train a group of non-party representatives who work closely with our party."

　　"We must grasp the law of doing a good job in United front work"

　　To do a good job in the United front work under the new situation, we must grasp the laws, adhere to the principles, pay attention to the methods, and the most fundamental thing is to uphold the leadership of the party. In the United front work, the policies and measures adopted should be conducive to upholding and consolidating the party’s leading position and ruling position. At the same time, we should also see that the United front work is the party’s special mass work, and there must be special ways and means.

　　In this important article, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader focused on grasping the law of doing a good job in United front work, emphasizing that "it is necessary to strengthen unity and contact with non-party people, adhere to the principle of respecting, safeguarding and taking care of the interests of allies, treat them with sincerity, move them with emotion, understand them with reason, and help them with reality, so as to truly win the respect and recognition of non-party people and make a large number of non-party friends for the party."

　　In a sense, whether the United front work is done well depends on how many friends you have made, whether you are qualified or not, and whether you are iron enough. Make a wide range of friends, the more friends, the better, especially some close friends who can speak their minds. We should make friends with the patience of making kung fu dishes like the Buddha jumping over the wall, make more contacts, have more heart-to-heart talks, pay attention to respect and sincerity, and realize real communication, in-depth understanding and emotional integration. It is necessary to unblock the channels of interest expression, communicate with non-party people often, do more practical things, do good things and solve problems for them, and truly win the respect and recognition of non-party people.

　　"We must strengthen the Party’s overall leadership over the United Front work"

　　"Strengthen the party’s centralized and unified leadership over the United front work, ensure that the party takes the overall situation and coordinates all parties in the United front work, and ensure that the United front work always advances in the correct political direction."

　　On December 21st, 2020, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the revised Regulations on United Front Work in the Communist Party of China (CPC). The outstanding feature of the revised "Regulations" is that it runs through the party’s centralized and unified leadership over the United front work, regards upholding the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership as the primary principle of the United front work, and clarifies the party’s leading position in commanding the overall situation and coordinating all parties in the United front work.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has made strategic arrangements for the work of the United front in various fields, which has effectively strengthened the Party’s overall leadership over the United front work, and the pattern of the great United front work jointly done by all parties has gradually taken shape. In 2015, the Central Leading Group for United Front Work was established, and then local party committees at all levels set up leading groups for United Front Work accordingly, which further promoted party committees at all levels to fulfill their main responsibilities for United Front Work from the organizational structure. In the reform of the party and state institutions in 2018, the CPC Central Committee made it clear that the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee led the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, managed religious work and overseas Chinese affairs, merged the State Bureau of Religious Affairs and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council into the Central United Front Work Department, and kept the State Bureau of Religious Affairs and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council. Overseas Chinese affairs departments of all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are basically incorporated into the United Front Work Department of the Party Committee at the same level, and ethnic and religious work departments are uniformly led by the United Front Work Department of the Party Committee at the same level. These major measures have further strengthened the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee over the United front work.

　　The historic achievement of the United front work in the new era lies in the fact that the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole party at the helm, and in the important ideological and scientific guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, especially the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader on doing a good job in the United front work of the Party in the new era. In this important article, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly emphasized: "The United front is the United front led by the party, and it is necessary to ensure the party’s overall leadership over the United front work. The United front work is the work of the whole party. It must be paid attention to by the whole party and done by everyone together, and a great United front work pattern with unified leadership by the Party Committee, coordination by the United front department and responsibilities of relevant parties should be built. "

　　"the deeper you know, the more you can do." General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important thought on doing a good job in the party’s United front work in the new era is strategically located, profound and rich in connotation. It is an organic whole with strict logic and internal unity and a systematic and complete theoretical system. We should deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishment", strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences" and achieve the "two maintenance", combine the in-depth study and implementation of this important thought with the in-depth study and implementation of the spirit of the 20th Party Congress and the latest important speech and important instructions of the General Secretary, solidly promote the work of the United front in all fields, and gather great strength for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese modernization.

CCTV News:Let’s look at the series of reports of "High-quality Development Research Bank". If basic research is a breakthrough from 0 to 1, then the industrialization of scientific research results is a leap from 1 to 10. In the process of high-quality development, it is very important to realize this leap. Facing the gap between scientific research and industry, Shanghai, which has strong scientific research strength, is looking for a way to solve it. Recently, Pudong New Area has released a list of the supply and demand sides of scientific research transformation. What’s the effect? Let’s watch the reporter’s investigation together.

When the reporter came to Shanghai Pudong New Area Science and Technology Commission, the staff were busy sorting out the latest docking situation. A few months ago, they launched a public service platform to collect technology and innovation needs for the whole society. Unexpectedly, more than 120 items were collected soon.

Enterprises need core technology, but they can’t find innovative resources. Scientific research institutions have innovative achievements, but they don’t know how to transform them. Even Shanghai, the "capital of innovation", is facing this practical problem. The heads of some scientific research institutions frankly told reporters that the crux of the problem lies in the imbalance between supply and demand of innovative resources.

How to get through the blocking point and cross the gap from academic to industrial? Shanghai established the Achievement Transformation Center of China Academy of Engineering, opened large scientific facilities to large enterprises, and built embedded innovation spaces in science and technology zones such as Lingang and Zhangjiang, which awakened a large number of sleeping scientific research resources.

In order to help enterprises accurately find the source of innovation, at the beginning of this year, Pudong New Area publicly collected the demand for scientific and technological innovation for enterprises in the fields of information technology, biomedicine and artificial intelligence for the first time, formed a "list" of scientific research projects, published it on public platforms, and docked the corresponding enterprises or research institutes by "revealing the list".

A platform to build a bridge of "two-way going"

In just a few months, seven major scientific research projects have been achieved, and the role played by this "list" cannot be underestimated. So, what is the current progress of the first batch of projects? What is the story behind their "two-way trip"? Continue to look at the reporter’s investigation.

This docking is undertaken by the Yangtze River Delta National Technology Innovation Center. When the reporter came to the China Innovation Center, he was catching up with the first batch of projects in-depth docking, and talked about topics such as joint research and talent training. The two sides talked endlessly.

Yang Weizhong is the head of a chemical fiber manufacturing enterprise. Because a key technology has not been solved, his industrial renewal has been stagnant. This time, he issued a scientific research demand with a try attitude. I didn’t expect to get a response from a professional research institute in Jiangsu three days later, and the scientific research results that the other party had painstakingly studied for more than a year also had a place to use.

Guochuang Center is a national scientific research and innovation platform with rich innovation resources. Here, the reporter saw many industrialization achievements. However, the relevant person in charge told reporters with regret that many scientific research results are still idle on the bookshelf.

The transformation from technology to industry requires deep cooperation and repeated polishing between scientific research institutes and enterprises. This process is long and trivial. Without a good cooperation mechanism, it often fails on the way. As an important platform for Industry-University-Research’s integration in the Yangtze River Delta region, the Innovation Center is building a variety of new R&D carriers to help scientific research institutions, enterprises and even the government adopt various modes of cooperation.

Cross-border integration to create a "tropical rainforest" innovative ecology

From the reporter’s investigation, we can easily see that once the supply and demand of scientific research and industry are blocked, it will stimulate new impetus and even produce new industries and tracks. It is precisely because of this that Shanghai Pudong is accelerating cross-border integration, creating a "tropical rain forest"-style innovative ecology and accelerating the layout of future industries such as artificial intelligence.

In Shanghai Institute of Advanced Studies, Zhejiang University, a research on new drugs is under way. Different from the traditional cytological research, researchers use artificial intelligence technology to analyze the protein structure of bacteria. Team members come from computer, physics, biology and other disciplines. Interdisciplinary research like this has been widely carried out in many fields.

Relying on the interdisciplinary research platform based on computing, Shanghai Pudong is laying out the artificial intelligence industry, and through the opening of innovation centers by large enterprises, it will form a collaborative innovation ecology in which large, medium and small enterprises are United and Industry-University-Research is integrated, so as to accelerate the transformation of scientific research into technology and empower thousands of industries.

Not long ago, Pudong also opened the intelligent networked automobile test demonstration zone to the society.

CCTV reporter:The road around me is the first open test road for self-driving cars in the central city of a megacity in China. At the scene, we saw that intelligent networked cars were tested on the road from time to time. This road is equipped with complex road conditions and multiple traffic lights, which can meet the application of multiple scenarios including intelligent driving and intelligent parking.

In the subsequent experience, the reporter learned that this section of road can not only meet the technical test requirements, but also be standardized in terms of road rights and driving rules, and constantly meet the needs of industrial innovation and application.

In addition to "future cars", Pudong also takes six hard-core industries such as "innovative drugs", "China Core", "intelligent manufacturing", "blue sky dream" and "data port" as the main direction in the future, and accelerates the promotion of all these key industries to the scale of "100 billion".

Villi, Director of Science, Technology and Economic Committee of Pudong New Area:Give full play to the strategic role of scientific and technological innovation, build a innovation chain from basic research, technical research to the transformation and application of achievements, lay out new tracks around five areas, such as future information, future health, future intelligence, future energy and future space, cultivate future industrial clusters and promote high-quality economic development.

Try first, break the ice. Strong scientific research strength has given Shanghai Pudong a foundation from 0 to 1. Nowadays, as a leading area of socialist modernization, it is accelerating the deep integration of innovation chain and industrial chain, and striving to cross the gap from 1 to 10. We have reason to believe that with the continuous improvement of innovation ecology, Pudong will achieve a continuous breakthrough from 10 to 100 in the future.

"How did the ruble depreciate again recently?" Xu Xiujuan, a female boss from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, is a little anxious in a shop that wholesales denim clothes in Blinault market.

Moscow Liu Blinault Market. The pictures in this article are all from Xinhua News Agency.

For Chinese businessmen in LiuBlinault market, keeping a close eye on the ruble exchange rate is a "compulsory course" every day. A few years ago, the injury caused by the ruble’s plunge has not been completely healed, and how to get out of the stormy big market is a new problem before us.

Wake up, the ruble is worthless.

Liu Blinault Market is the largest wholesale market for daily necessities such as clothes, shoes and hats, with about 6,000 stalls, one third of which are run by Chinese businessmen.

The stalls are crowded and the middle aisle is narrow. From time to time, porters with Central Asian faces push carts and shout "Excuse me".

Due to the underdeveloped light industry in Russia, Chinese businessmen have flocked to the Far East, Moscow and other places to seek gold since the 1990s, and "profiteering" once became synonymous with Chinese businessmen in Russia. From 2000 to 2008, the Russian economy entered a period of rapid growth, and the business of Chinese businessmen was also smooth.

After Russia was hit by the global financial crisis in 2008, the "collecting money" model of Chinese businessmen "earning a Mercedes-Benz a week" became a memory. In 2008 and 2014, the ruble plummeted twice, which brought a serious blow to Chinese businessmen.

Zheng Riwei and Hu Dongling run down jacket export business in Russia.Hu Dongling said that at that time, the exchange rate of the ruble fluctuated violently, and the ruble earned by selling goods could not be immediately exchanged for RMB or US dollars and sent back to China. Often, when I woke up, I found that the ruble I held was even less valuable. "I feel like I’m sleeping in the presidential suite every day, and all the money I lost overnight is worth the room money."

Yan Linfu, a businessman from Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, said that in 2015, the ruble exchange rate fluctuated too much, and product pricing was difficult, just like speculating in futures. Businesses engaged in non-governmental trade with Russia have lost more than 60%, and few have made profits.

Moscow Liu Blinault market.

Compared with the impact of the two rouble crashes, the Chinese businessmen have a more painful memory of the closure of the Cerchi Zovsky market.

In 2008, under the depression of Russian domestic economy, the boss of a big market went to Turkey to invest a lot of money and angered the Kremlin. The Russian government seized and destroyed the goods in the big market on the grounds of cracking down on "gray customs clearance", and then closed the market indefinitely. Tens of thousands of Chinese businessmen lost as much as $2 billion.

Due to the particularity of the Russian market, the problem of informal "grey customs clearance" has not been solved, and Chinese businessmen still face risks.

Yan Linfu said that the owner of Liu Blinault Market is a pair of Jewish brothers, and most Chinese businessmen pay management fees to them. Under their protection, Russian customs and tax authorities turn a blind eye to the "gray customs clearance". The "grey customs" cost is low, which lowers prices and meets the needs of low-income people in Russia. The special problems in this specific period can only be solved slowly.

Russia has a large market and a low threshold, and there is a rigid demand for clothing and other department stores, which is the reason why many Chinese businessmen are attached to this land. However, this market is full of troubles, so many merchants in Blinault have the mentality of taking a gamble and taking a chance.

Double 11 broke $100,000 in 10 minutes.

Zheng Riwei said that hardships gave birth to opportunities, and the blow in Russia prompted him to change his mind and try to cooperate with AliExpress, from wholesale to retail.

During AliExpress’s overseas "double 11" event last year, the ICEbear brand of Beijing Riwei Clothing Company, founded by Zheng Riwei, became the champion of clothing sales, with its revenue exceeding 100,000 US dollars in 10 minutes and 200,000 US dollars in half an hour.

On the AliExpress website, the fans of the ICEbear store have a collection of more than 370,000. On the sales page of a white women’s down jacket, buyers left thousands of messages, most of which praised the down jacket for its good quality and fast delivery.

According to Zheng Riwei, these down jackets specially for the Russian market are thicker than ordinary down jackets, and they have waterproof function, which can not only resist the cold weather in Russia, but also cope with the water droplets falling after melting snow.

In the view of Gou Shanchao, director of e-commerce operation of Riwei Clothing Company, cooperation with AliExpress has brought at least two major benefits to the company.

The first is to improve brand awareness. After joining the cross-border e-commerce platform, the company directly faces consumers, and customers’ recognition of the brand is improved. There are many Russian "loyal fans" who will take the initiative to ask when the new model will be available.

Second, products can be optimized in time according to customers’ needs. On the e-commerce platform, the company can get customer feedback at any time. If the buyer says there is something wrong with the version of this batch of clothes, the company can change it in time in the next batch of goods.

Gou Shanchao said that the company joined the cross-border e-commerce platform in 2014 and just started to deliver goods from China, and the arrival time was at least one month. In 2016, the company implemented overseas warehouses. First, large quantities of goods were sent to warehouses in Moscow. After customers placed orders, they were delivered directly from overseas warehouses, and the goods would arrive the next day in Moscow and nearby areas.

Since 2015, the Russian economy has fallen into negative growth, the people are not well off, and the price/performance ratio of goods is higher. With the help of cross-border e-commerce platform, some Chinese businessmen cut off the intermediary channels and directly connected with Russian consumers, so that consumers can buy high-quality goods at lower prices.

Going out of the big market, from "grey customs" to "white customs"

As the Secretary-General of Wenling Chamber of Commerce in Moscow (China), Yan Linfu is quite familiar with the living conditions of Chinese businessmen in Russia. Going out of the big market is his advice to Chinese businessmen.

Yan Linfu said that he is now "walking on two legs", not only doing wholesale in Liu Blinault market, but also setting up a company to do retail in Russia. The company opened a flagship store in the bustling section of Moscow and opened up online sales channels.

The sales model of Liu Blinault big market is to wait for customers to come to the door. Because of the small market scope and repeated customer resources, the vicious door-to-door bargain is inevitable. Yan Linfu believes that Chinese businessmen need to go out of LiuBlinault, face consumers directly and try online to offline.

In recent years, e-commerce has developed rapidly in Russia, and a large number of China goods with high quality and low price have directly reached Russian consumers through cross-border e-commerce platforms such as AliExpress.

As for the influence of cross-border e-commerce on the wholesale business, the merchants in LiuBlinault are unable to agree. Some Chinese businessmen believe that cross-border e-commerce has little impact on Liu Blinault’s business due to different groups of people. Others hold the opposite opinion that cross-border e-commerce leads to price transparency and has a great impact on wholesale business.

Alibaba once held a mobilization meeting in Yabao Road, Beijing to encourage businesses to try e-commerce and set up training courses. Many people tried, but few succeeded.

The reason is that Gou Shanchao believes that, first of all, businesses that trade with Russia do not pay enough attention to e-commerce. Many people are used to making big money by wholesale, while e-commerce earns small money every time; Secondly, many Chinese businessmen are born in entities, do not understand e-commerce, and have no professionals around them.

Zheng Riwei said that at present, the company’s delivery through the e-commerce channel is all "white customs", and all the procedures are legal from domestic registered companies to foreign registered companies. He suggested that Chinese businessmen bravely try to organize formal business and gradually turn "grey customs" into "white customs".

Liu Wei, director of AliExpress Russian Station of Alibaba, said that China merchants who have branches and stocks in like Riwei Clothing belong to the partners of AliExpress localization business. This year is the first year of AliExpress’s localization business. At present, we are still carrying out infrastructure work in logistics and market. We hope to cooperate with more merchants in Yabao Road and Liu Blinault when conditions are ripe.

In the long run, normalization and branding are the general trend of Sino-Russian non-governmental trade. E-commerce can provide an opportunity for the transformation of Sino-Russian non-governmental trade and force Chinese businessmen to standardize their operations.

"Only through e-commerce can we truly make the brand bigger. The company not only has more confidence in deepening the Russian market, but also sets a goal of going global," Zheng Riwei said.

　　BEIJING, Sept. 25 (Xinhua)-According to comprehensive US media reports, former US President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalyn Carter rarely appeared in their hometown of Plains, Georgia on the 23rd local time. Previously, due to health problems, Jimmy Carter largely faded out of the public eye.

　　According to reports, the Carters attended the Plains Peanut Festival that day. The Carter Center in the United States forwarded a video in which 98-year-old Jimmy Carter and 96-year-old Rosalyn Carter took part in the celebration in a black SUV.

　　The Carter Center also posted on social media that "President Carter and his wife enjoy ‘ Plain Peanut Festival ’ Beautiful weather! He will be 99 years old in a week. We bet there is peanut butter ice cream on the lunch menu! " It is reported that peanut butter is one of Jimmy Carter’s favorite foods.

　　The American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported that this seems to be the first time they have gone out since Jimmy Carter was announced to receive hospice care seven months ago.

　　According to reports, Jimmy Carter is the oldest former president of the United States. Jimmy Carter served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. Since they left the White House in 1981, the Carters have been living in their home in plain, Georgia.

　　Jimmy Carter was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2015, and cancer cells spread to the liver and brain. After treatment, Jimmy Carter claimed to have recovered. In 2019, Jimmy Carter fell several times and underwent hip replacement surgery.

　　The Carter Center of the United States issued a statement on February 18, 2023 that Jimmy Carter decided to receive hospice care at his home in Georgia. According to the statement, after a series of short hospitalization, Jimmy Carter decided to spend the rest of his time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention. This decision was fully supported by his family and medical team.
