CCTV News:At the press conference on March 1, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance introduced that this year will support the promotion of consumption recovery and upgrading from three aspects.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance said that the key to vigorously enhancing consumer confidence and releasing consumption potential is to solve outstanding problems such as not daring to consume, inconvenient to consume and unwilling to consume. The financial sector will fully implement the strategy of expanding domestic demand, focus on giving full play to the basic role of consumption, actively improve policies and measures, stimulate consumption potential, and further support and promote the recovery and upgrading of the consumer market.

Xu Hongcai, Vice Minister of Finance:Increase residents’ income through multiple channels, so that ordinary people have money to spend. Do everything possible to expand employment and rely on labor to create income. Increase social security, transfer payments and other adjustments, improve the consumption power of low-and middle-income residents, and at the same time improve preferential tax and fee policies to stimulate social consumption potential.

At the same time, the financial sector will support increasing the supply of marketable goods, so that ordinary people are willing to spend. Encourage qualified places to support home appliances "trade-in" and green smart home appliances to the countryside through existing funding channels. New energy vehicles with a purchase period of 2023 will continue to be exempted from vehicle purchase tax. We will reduce import tariffs on some high-quality consumer goods, accelerate the establishment of a housing system with multi-agent supply, multi-channel guarantee and simultaneous rent and purchase, support rigid and improved housing demand, and actively promote household consumption. In addition, the financial department will also promote the smooth flow of sales channels and logistics, making it convenient for ordinary people to consume. Support the implementation of county commercial construction actions and promote the expansion and quality improvement of county consumption. Support the construction of supply chain system of agricultural products and expand the consumption market of agricultural products. Support the construction of a number of national comprehensive freight hubs and promote logistics to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

China’s job market continues to heat up, and enterprise recruitment and talent job hunting are "both in supply and demand"

　　Since the beginning of the year, the level of macroeconomic prosperity has returned to the expansion range, driving the China job market to continue to heat up. The offline job fairs held by colleges and universities all over the country are crowded, and the online live broadcasts are continuous. Enterprise recruitment and talent job hunting show a booming trend of supply and demand, and the spring recruitment market is warm and harmonious.

　　The "2023 Shanghai Spring Employment Promotion Special Action Large-scale Job Fair" kicked off on February 25th. The organizers carefully selected thousands of enterprises to recruit, providing more than 25,000 jobs, covering key industries such as advanced manufacturing, construction, scientific research and information technology, and setting up special recruitment areas for specialized and new "little giant" enterprises and employment trainee bases.

　　The job fair attracted nearly 18,000 people, delivered more than 35,000 resumes, reached nearly 10,000 initial intentions, and more than 200,000 people participated in live post activities. The organizer said that the number of participants exceeded expectations, on the one hand, because online recruitment methods have been adopted for more than three years, and enterprises and job seekers have a strong desire to communicate face to face. More importantly, since the beginning of the year, all kinds of enterprises have been busy with production and development, and the recruitment demand has increased greatly.

　　In addition to job fairs, Shanghai has also launched a new public recruitment platform online to build a "recruitment Taobao" for the market and job seekers, and will implement the "Shanghai Employment Promotion Regulations" on March 1 to provide legal protection for promoting high-quality and full employment.

　　In addition, Shaanxi, Hebei, Jiangsu, Xinjiang and other places have also started large-scale talent recruitment fairs in the spring, using online and offline forms to attract many enterprises and job seekers to enter the market, and the labor market has shown a booming supply and demand situation. Colleges and universities all over the country also actively carry out the "warm heart action" to promote employment, seize the spring recruitment period, and provide diversified employment guidance services for college graduates.

　　The analysis pointed out that since the beginning of the year, the level of macroeconomic prosperity has returned to the expansion range, driving the job market to heat up. In addition to consolidating existing employment and absorbing new jobs, we should also focus on the labor demand brought about by the expansion of service industry and industrial upgrading, and create more jobs for the flexible employment population of about 200 million.

Tickets are sold out, venues are full, and the performance market is booming.

Recently, the offline performance market has recovered rapidly, many large-scale concerts have been restarted, and major theaters have also ushered in a long-lost lively popularity.

At 7: 30 on the weekend, at the entrance of this theater in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, many spectators are queuing to enter. That night, a Chinese version of Broadway musical will be staged. The person in charge said that more than 1000 tickets have all been sold out.

In fact, one or two months after the Spring Festival is usually the off-season of the performance market. At present, a variety of offline performances including concerts, dramas, music festivals and talk shows have been staged one after another, and the performance market has ushered in a "good start".

Vigorous China Tourism Market is gradually picking up.

The catering industry is accelerating its recovery, and recently, the tourism market is gradually picking up. Not only the domestic tour after the Spring Festival is full of excitement, but also the consumers and practitioners in the outbound travel market are full of expectations.

Since the tourism recovery this year, the main scenic spot of Huanglong in Sichuan has received more than 102,000 tourists, an increase of more than 400% year-on-year. In Xiasi Ancient Town, Kaili, Guizhou, after the Spring Festival, the tourist flow in the scenic spot is still unabated, and the parking lot is full of tourist cars from all over the country.

Since China’s pilot restoration of the national travel agency’s business of outbound group tourism, the outbound tourism market has gradually warmed up. The market is constantly picking up, and some travel agencies have experienced a "shortage of tour guides". However, with the return of previous tour guides and the addition of fresh blood, this situation is gradually improving.

Philippine: Baguio holds Flower Festival and expects China tourists to return.

Not only domestic travel agencies are well prepared, but also various outbound destinations are using various ways to attract tourists from China.

Baguio City is located in the northern part of Luzon Island, Philippines, with a cool and pleasant climate. Local tourism practitioners expect China tourists to return to the Philippines as soon as possible.

China’s resumption of outbound travel has a positive impact on global tourism.

Recently, the United Nations World Tourism Organization also announced that the resumption of outbound travel in China has had a positive impact on the recovery of global tourism. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, China was the largest tourism market in the world. The recovery of domestic tourism in China will create a linkage effect for other economic sectors and bring greater vitality to China and even the global economy.

　　Huawei-related topics are always one of the hot spots in the industry.

　　Recently, a chat record involving the dystocia of the first model of the Zhijie brand, which Chery cooperated with Huawei, quickly circulated on the Internet and continued to ferment. In the chat record, a netizen suspected of being a Chery employee directly pointed the finger at Huawei for the dystocia of Zhijie S7, and revealed that "the leader who has been working hard to promote cooperation with Huawei directly resigned."

　　Subsequently, the leader was confirmed as Han Biwen, deputy general manager of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and general manager of the manufacturing division. However, on January 31, the reason for Wang Chuan’s departure was denied by Chery’s spokesperson Jin Yibo: the cooperation between the two parties was smooth, and they were making every effort to promote the production and delivery of Zhijie S7, and they had invested more resources and would continue to deepen cooperation.

　　But this response does not seem to be recognized by the public.

　　The intellectual S7 is "far ahead" and "far away"

　　After questioning, M7 went against the trend and returned to the mainstream market after its listing, which made its new cooperation project Zhijie Automobile become the focus of public attention. However, in 2024, the delivery of the new M7 four-wheel drive version, the delayed delivery of Aouita 12 and the dystocia of Zhijie S7 made Huawei’s new models collectively face the delivery problem.

　　For the first two, whether it is CMO Li Pengcheng, vice president and chief marketing officer of Aouita Science and Technology, or all the suppliers visited by Gaspar, it is attributed to the fact that the sales of products far exceeded expectations, resulting in insufficient supply. "At present, the production capacity is climbing, and the supply shortage will be alleviated as soon as possible in the past two weeks." A practitioner who supplies the new M7 precursor parts in the world revealed to Gaspar.

　　However, compared with the sweet burden of the new M7 and Aouita 12, the intellectual S7 is still shrouded in gloom.

　　On January 15th, Zhijie Automobile issued a document on its official account, saying that the factory is making every effort to produce and ensure high-quality delivery. This subsidy is mainly for users who have made a decision between November 28th, 2023 and January 15th, 2024. They can enjoy the subsidy after waiting for more than 6 weeks, and they can get a maximum subsidy of 10,000 yuan in 200 yuan every day.

　　Previously, there had been a lot of rumors on related forums and social platforms that Zhijie S7 was delayed in delivery and not delivered in order. Just one week after the release of the above compensation plan, Gaspar learned from the relevant sales staff that the official promised delivery time has been extended from 6 weeks to 10-12 weeks.

　　On November 28th, 2023, Huawei released the first pure electric car-Zhijie S7 under the smart car selection business model, which is the first product of Zhijie brand and the first model of cooperation between Huawei and Chery under the smart car selection business model.

　　According to the latest news, as of the end of December, the large quantity of Zhijie S7 has exceeded 10,000, and the number of offline stores has exceeded 100 in a single day. However, according to the terminal data of Geshi Automobile Research Institute, in December 2023, the cumulative sales volume of Zhijie S7 nationwide was only 305, and according to the staff of Zhijie Automobile’s delivery center in Shanghai, there was only one centralized delivery in December last year, and there were no new cars afterwards.

　　Obviously, it seems difficult to copy and paste it on Zhijie S7 due to excessive sales and insufficient production capacity. You know, compared with the manufacturing strength of Cyrus, the new "Intelligent Networked Super Factory No.2" built by Chery has a planned annual production capacity of 500,000 vehicles, which makes it hard to believe that Zhijie S7 will be difficult to produce.

　　In this regard, the senior analyst of Gaspar Automotive Research Institute believes that instead of the high centralization of Huawei in software, it is more inclined to the imbalance of production rhythm between the two parties after the release of new cars, the yield of supply chain parts in mass production of new technologies and the insufficient preparation of the production line of the automobile factory are all reasons for the delay in mass production of Zhijie S7.

　　The rumor that "Huawei has no basic respect for Chery" may not be groundless. Some insiders pointed out to Geshi Automobile that in the car-making business, Huawei really wants to dominate the whole process of new cars, but in cooperation with enterprises with scale advantages such as Chery and Changan, they also don’t want to be only supporting roles, and conflicts in product dominance and management styles and cultures of different companies are inevitable.

　　The success of asking the world may be difficult to replicate.

　　As we all know, with more than 30 years of profound accumulation in the ICT field, Huawei has cut into the car track in three modes: standardized parts suppliers, HI mode and HarmonyOS Zhixing, and the cooperation has gone from shallow to deep.

　　Among them, HI mode is provided by Huawei with full-stack smart car solutions such as intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving and intelligent Che Yun, such as the cooperation of BAIC Extreme Fox and Aouita brand; In addition to providing parts and solutions, HarmonyOS Zhixing will also fully participate in product design, brand building, sales channels and other aspects, such as the cooperation with Cyrus, and so on.

　　According to Yu Chengdong’s plan, Huawei’s automobile business unit (Car BU) plans to make a profit in 2025, so as to change the situation that "Car BU is Huawei’s only loss-making business". To achieve this goal, it is necessary to ensure that the cumulative sales volume of HarmonyOS Zhixing and HI mode reaches 1 million vehicles.

　　It is worth noting that according to the terminal data of Geshi Automobile Research Institute, in 2023, the cumulative sales volume including Aouita 11/12, Wenjie M5/M7/M9 and Zhijie S7 was only 114,000.

　　This means that Huawei BU must accelerate the pace of implementation this year. On January 16th, the day after HarmonyOS Zhixing implemented the compensation scheme of Zhijie S7, a wholly-owned new company, Huawei Car BU, was formally established. On the same day, the joint venture between Huawei and Changan also made new progress. Changan Automobile revealed that the new joint venture between Changan and Huawei was tentatively named "Newcool".

　　As for Yu Chengdong, Huawei will also cooperate with BAIC and JAC respectively in HarmonyOS Zhixing business after consulting with the intellectual community. The brand of cooperation between Huawei and BAIC HarmonyOS Zhixing mode is determined as "enjoying the world", and the first model is positioned as a medium and large car, which will be officially released before the Beijing Auto Show in April; The brand of HarmonyOS Zhixing, which cooperates with Jianghuai, is designated as "Aojie", and the first car will be released in Q4, 2024, which is a million-level product.

　　According to the latest news, as of January 28th, the cumulative sales volume of vehicles in the car industry in January has exceeded 28,000, setting a new record for the highest monthly sales volume. According to the data on January 9th, the cumulative delivery volume of the new M7 has reached 48,552 vehicles, and the cumulative sales volume has exceeded 120,000 vehicles. It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the new M7, the two models of the AITO series, the M5 and M9, have also received much attention. With the launch of mass delivery of the M9 and the launch of the new SUV model M8, it is expected to further promote the sales of the M 9 brand to a new high.

　　Therefore, to a certain extent, S7, the first model of Zhijie brand, has become the key to whether Huawei’s HarmonyOS Zhixing model can win the cooperation between car companies.

　　However, in the view of senior analysts of Gaspar Automotive Research Institute, the core sales source of HarmonyOS Zhixing model in the future will still be the contribution of the products that have cooperated with Cyrus, and it is also Huawei’s most "obedient" and recognized partner in this model, and the products of other enterprises may not have much sales performance. "The delay in the delivery of the intelligent S7 will inevitably affect the user’s car purchase choice, which in turn will affect the confidence of cooperation between the two parties."

　　Zhu Huarong, the chairman of Changan Automobile, who established a new joint venture with Huawei, is even more outspoken in his resistance to HarmonyOS Zhixing. He stressed that Changan must have its own brand and choose Hi mode because it conforms to the national industrial policy. The implication is that under the HarmonyOS Zhixing model, the division of labor between Huawei and car companies is unclear, which may lead to problems in the protection of rights and interests in the process of users using cars.

　　There is a clearer positioning, which is the insistence of Changan Automobile, and I believe it is not just the insistence of Changan Automobile.

　　In tHis context, the above analysts believe that hi mode will still have enterprises to adopt cooperation, especially domestic car companies, mainly to complement their intelligent shortcomings and learn from the organization and management of Huawei IPD. In addition, Huawei Car BU Yinwang Technology Co., Ltd. has a very large room for growth in the future by binding car companies to create an "ASML model" in the smart car ecosystem.

　　As mentioned earlier, Huawei’s circle of friends continues to expand rapidly. If all goes well, it is not out of reach to achieve the goal of one million vehicles in 2025. However, the success of the world of inquiry has not made all brands resolutely hand over the dominant position like Cyrus, and the constant disputes in the intellectual world have made Huawei’s future in the last three "circles" full of uncertainty. How to balance the needs and cooperation of different car companies may become a more critical focus of Huawei HarmonyOS Zhixing in the future than expansion. （Garcia）

　　German scientists have discovered a magical chameleon subspecies in northern Madagascar. They are only the size of melon seeds and can lie on human fingers, which may be the smallest reptile on the earth.

　　The Bavarian National Zoo in Munich, Germany, said that they found two adult miniature chameleons, a female and a male, in northern Madagascar. Among them, the male is only 22 mm long, which is the smallest known reptile. The other female chameleon is a little bigger, but the total length is only 29 mm.

　　The researchers said that it is not clear why the species is so small, but perhaps similar to the "island effect", animals trapped on the island and with small habitats tend to evolve smaller bodies.

　　However, the living environment of this new species is worrying. The habitat of this chameleon has been destroyed by deforestation. Fortunately, in recent years, the government has planned a protected area in the local area, so they are lucky to survive.

　　On July 6, Shu Yuting, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, introduced at a regular press conference that from January to May 2023, China’s service trade maintained an overall growth trend. The total import and export of services was 2,605.54 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), up 10.2% year-on-year. Among them, exports were 1,098.22 billion yuan, down 4.7%; Imports reached 1,507.32 billion yuan, up by 24.2%; The service trade deficit was 409.1 billion yuan.

　　Kevin·Z, an associate researcher at China Service Outsourcing Research Center, told the Economic Information Daily that the growth of China’s service trade continued to improve from January to May, and the import and export volume of services achieved double-digit growth year-on-year. It can be predicted that with the acceleration of international cooperation in China’s service industry, China’s total service trade will reach a new high in the whole year.

　　It is worth noting that while the total volume has maintained rapid growth, the structure of China’s service trade has continued to optimize, and the proportion of knowledge-intensive service trade has increased. From January to May, the import and export of knowledge-intensive services was 1,122.78 billion yuan, up 13.6% year-on-year, accounting for 43.1% of the total import and export of services, up 1.3 percentage points over the same period of last year. Among them, the export of knowledge-intensive services was 656.59 billion yuan, up by 17.2%, and the import of knowledge-intensive services was 466.19 billion yuan, up by 8.8%.

　　In Kevin·Z’s view, this is the concrete embodiment of the continuous improvement of the development quality of China’s service trade. "From the data point of view, China’s knowledge-intensive service trade continued to maintain a rapid growth trend in the first five months, accounting for a steady increase in the total import and export of services, and has become the strength to build a new development pattern of services and promote the high-quality development of trade in the new era."

　　In addition, travel services have obviously recovered. From January to May, the import and export of travel services reached 552.54 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 67%, making it the fastest-growing service trade field. Among them, exports increased by 53.4% and imports increased by 68.1%. Kevin·Z analyzed that from January to May, China’s travel service achieved a leap-forward growth, with a year-on-year increase of over 60%, and the recovery momentum was strong, which became an important driving force for the steady growth of service trade.

　　The favorable factors for the development of China’s service trade are still accumulating. Kevin·Z said that with the accelerated popularization of the new generation of information technology and the accelerated development of digitalization and intelligence, digital trade with digital technology, digital products, digital services and data information as its subject matter is booming. China’s digital industry has developed rapidly. At present, it is the second largest digital economy in the world, with a number of digital enterprises with strong international comparative advantages. At the same time, it benefits from a super-large market with a population of 1.4 billion, which provides fertile ground for the development of digital trade and has great development potential. In the future, digital trade will become a new engine for the development of China’s service trade, and will also make greater contributions to the prosperity and development of global trade.

　　People’s Daily Online, Beijing, May 13 (Yang Xi) Recently, the release of the main data of the seventh national census has aroused great concern from all walks of life. Some netizens found that the trend reflected by the census data published this time is inconsistent with that published in non-census years, so they raised some questions about individual data.

　　In this regard, the National Bureau of Statistics answered the above questions and related questions of population statistics.

　　How to count and publish population data?

　　At present, China’s demographic survey mainly has three ways:

　　The first is the national census, which is conducted once every ten years in the year when the mantissa meets "0", and the census data is published in China Census Data.

　　The second is the national 1% population sampling survey, which was conducted in the year when the mantissa met "5", and the survey data was published in the National 1% Population Sampling Survey Data.

　　Third, the national sample survey of population changes, the sample size accounts for about 1&permil of the total population; In addition to the census year and the sampling year of 1% population survey, it is conducted once a year, and the survey data are published in the Statistical Yearbook of China and the Statistical Yearbook of Population and Employment of China.

　　The main statistical indicators of the above three types of population data will be published in the annual data in the database of the National Bureau of Statistics.

　　Why is the trend reflected by census data inconsistent with that published in non-census years?

　　The population in non-census years is calculated according to the sampling survey data of that year. Due to the missing rate of sampling surveys in some years, there will be some deviations in the estimated population as a whole, and these deviations will continue to accumulate with the passage of time.

　　Carrying out the population census once every 10 years can comprehensively find out the number, structure and distribution of China’s population, let us know more clearly the development of China’s population in the past 10 years, and provide extremely valuable data for better studying population issues and formulating population-related policies.

　　So how to deal with this inconsistency? According to international practice and common practice, after the census, the annual data published between the two censuses are generally revised according to the census results, so as to reflect the population development track more truly and objectively. In the sixth national census and the just-concluded fourth national economic census, historical data were also revised according to census data. At present, this work is in progress, and the relevant data will be released on schedule after the revision is completed.

　　Is the population statistics based on household registration or residence?

　　At present, China’s population census and population survey are counted and summarized according to the resident population. The time standard for judging the permanent population is half a year, and the space standard is township, town and street.

　　The resident population is an important basic data for formulating the national economic and social development plan, evaluating the national economic production capacity, and evaluating the welfare level of residents. It has a wide range of applications, such as financial expenditure, urban construction, housing construction, allocation of public facilities, education investment, medical investment and public utility investment, etc., which need to be planned according to the size of the resident population.

　　The registered population refers to the registered population in a certain area, regardless of whether they go out or not, as long as they register their permanent residence in the public security household registration management department. The data of registered population is counted by the public security department. For a long time, China has established a set of perfect household registration statistics and management system, which has played an important role in social management.

　　How is the floating population data counted?

　　Floating population refers to the population whose residence is inconsistent with the township street where the household registration place is located, and who has been separated from the household registration place for half a year or more (excluding the separation of households within the municipal area). The survey indicators used to judge and reflect the floating population include: the place of registration, the place of residence at the time of investigation, the time of leaving the place of registration and the reasons for leaving the place of registration. The National Bureau of Statistics formulates a demographic survey system according to the Statistics Law of the People’s Republic of China, conducts demographic surveys on a regular basis, and publishes major demographic data such as permanent population, birth population, dead population, urban and rural population and floating population.

BA.4 and BA.5, the new branches of Omicron with stronger communication power, have recently attracted attention. The new branch has triggered a new infection peak in South Africa, and the Portuguese National Institute of Health also estimates that its growth advantage is 13% more than that of BA.2.

Screenshots from the nextstrain website show that the different Omicron branches represented by yellow, orange and red are iterating rapidly within half a year, and the new branches represented by orange and red are also expanding in the cracks.

Screenshot of nextstrain website. According to the uploaded sequencing data, since December last year, the mainstream branches in Omicron have gradually changed from BA.1 (shown as 21K) to BA.2 (shown as 21L) to BA2.12.1 (shown as 22C), and the area occupied by new branches is also expanding.

The new branches of Omicron are frequent. Is the current COVID-19 vaccine still effective? Do the branches BA.2 and BA.5 need their own vaccines? Should the update of COVID-19 vaccine keep up with the variation of virus? How to keep up with the virus mutation? With the above questions, the reporter of Science and Technology Daily contacted and interviewed a number of industry experts.

Is the current vaccine still effective?

Does the mutation branch in Omicron constantly trigger new infection peaks, which means that the current COVID-19 vaccine will be invalid?

Authoritative experts in the industry responded to the Science and Technology Daily reporter and said: "Current vaccines can still provide the most basic protection in ensuring the reduction of severe illness and death.. The epidemic in COVID-19 has been going on for two and a half years. At present, it seems that there is no possibility for Covid-19 to achieve zero infection through vaccination. COVID-19 vaccine can ensure the effect of reducing infection and avoiding serious illness and death. "

Regarding the role of the current vaccine in epidemic prevention and control, the person in charge of vaccine-related production enterprises in COVID-19 holds the same view: "The existing vaccine is no problem in preventing severe illness and death at present, but it will not be 100% anti-infection."

Many statistics or research results from the real world show that the current vaccine plays a significant role in preventing severe illness and death. For example, the latest data in Hong Kong (as of May 25th) showed that the mortality rate of those infected in Omicron who were not vaccinated was 3.04%, while the mortality rate of those infected with three doses of vaccine dropped significantly to 0.04%.

Do the branches BA.2 and BA.5 all need their own vaccines?

According to WHO’s latest weekly report on epidemiological progress in COVID-19 (May 25th),Omicron BA.2 and its progeny pedigree (BA.2.X) have become the main popular variants in the world.At present, the relative proportions of BA.2.X, BA.4 and BA.5 are 94%, 0.8% and 1% respectively.

This shows that during the evolution of Omicron mutant, the branch BA.1 is disappearing. However, the reporter learned that at present, most vaccines against Omicron in China are designed and developed for BA.1.

Whether it is necessary to develop new vaccines for new branches, the industry generally judges from the perspective of vaccine protection: if the activity of neutralizing antibodies produced by the original vaccines against mutant strains is greatly reduced, it is necessary to develop new vaccines; If it still has a good neutralizing effect on the mutant, there is no need to develop a new vaccine.

Although Omicron strain mutates rapidly and different branches appear, butNew vaccines will not be introduced for each branch, and there is no need to do so.. Relevant experts reminded: "If you continue to monitor, you will find that many mutations will disappear soon."

Can vaccine update keep up with virus iteration?

In the technical route of vaccine development in COVID-19, the design cycle of mRNA vaccine is short. On the basis of a mature platform, the design can be completed within 7 days, and the preclinical trials including animal experiments can be completed in about one month.

Industry experts engaged in the research and development of mRNA vaccine said that for the variant branch, the mRNA vaccine does not need to obtain the strain, but only needs to optimize the vaccine sequence according to the variant sequence and test the expression efficiency, and then pre-clinical trials can be carried out. Covid-19 Omicron mutant mRNA vaccine, developed by Suzhou Aibo Bio, China, has been approved for clinical research in UAE.

In response to virus variation, the technical route of inactivated vaccine can also complete the preclinical study of new strains in a short time by establishing an emergency system. The reporter previously learned that it can be advanced to the clinical trial application stage about 2 months after obtaining the new strain.

Keep up with the variation, can COVID-19’s vaccine market learn from the "flu model"

In order to cope with the frequent mutation of viruses, there are precedents for vaccine updates to follow closely. For example, the influenza virus vaccine is recommended by WHO every year, and countries produce new influenza vaccines accordingly.

In order to keep up with the variation in Covid-19, can the "flu model" be used for reference in the marketing of vaccines in COVID-19?

“It is estimated that the future development of COVID-19 vaccine needs to adopt the influenza model.The authoritative experts mentioned above responded, but WHO is unable to recommend mainstream strains through monitoring now, because the pandemic is not over yet.

Another advantage of the "flu model" is that it greatly shortens the time to market for new vaccines. Because there is no need for re-approval, its batch issuance system can effectively shorten the period from vaccine development to marketing. Experts in the industry said that after polishing and construction, various technical routes and platforms have gradually matured, the research and development speed has been accelerated, and the production process has been stable.If the "flu model" can be adopted in the development and marketing of vaccines in COVID-19, the time to market for new vaccines will be greatly shortened.

WHO has revealed some unexpected phenomena in its weekly epidemiological report: available data show that BA.4, BA.5 and BA.2.12.1 spread faster in countries where BA.1 was once prevalent, but less in countries where BA.2 was prevalent; The vaccination degree of each country may have an impact on the popularity of the new branch of Omicron. Visible,Covid-19 mutation and vaccine immunogenicity are mutually causal and widely related, and updating the vaccine in time may have an impact on virus mutation.

North America is the largest film market in the world, and it is also the main battlefield to test the success or failure of a Hollywood film. Generally speaking, there are two institutions that regularly publish box office data of North American film market: the website Box Office Mojo mainly collects and counts the data reported by publishers themselves; Comscore, a media company specializing in collecting and analyzing all kinds of data, collects daily box office data from the cinema, which is also the main source of box office data for American media.

Traditionally, Comscore’s annual report will not be released until the first Tuesday of the new year, that is, January 2, 2024, local time in the United States, but it is said that the total box office in North America will basically fall between $9.03 billion and $9.05 billion in 2023. As for Box Office Mojo, because of the time difference, the North American box office figure in 2023 on this website is still at $8.905499 billion for the time being, but I believe it will be further updated in a few days.

"Baben Harmo"

Looking back on the key words of North American movies in 2023, the first one was "Baben Harmo": two commercial blockbusters with irrelevant contents and types collided head-on in the same schedule, and the result was not that they changed, but that they successfully ignited the audience’s enthusiasm together and became a phenomenal movie event in 2023. Barbie, produced by Warner Bros. Film Company, finally became the North American box office champion in 2023 with a score of $636 million, while Oppenheimer, produced by Universal Pictures, ranked fifth in the annual box office list in North America with $326 million.

The success of the two works has its own reasons, but to sum up, it is nothing more than abandoning the routine and highlighting the new ideas. Together with Universal Pictures’ Super Mario Bros. Movie, which ranked second in North America’s annual box office list with US$ 574 million, these three works can be said to have high original value.

Although Barbie comes from a world-famous popular toy, Super Mario Bros. Movie is based on a well-known video game of the same name, and the protagonist of Oppenheimer has already gone down in history because of the atomic bomb, they are not actually sequel to the movie or remakes of old movies, which can attract the audience to buy tickets and rely on real original stories and designs.

In sharp contrast, in 2023, a lot of blockbusters failed at the box office, almost all sequels and series of works. In addition to the superhero movies that have completely tired the audience aesthetically, Raiders of the Lost Ark 5 and Mission Impossible 7 have also failed to achieve satisfactory box office results.

The total box office in North America in 2023 is definitely the highest in North America since the epidemic subverted the film industry, far better than the $7.46 billion in 2022 and $4.56 billion in 2021. However, such achievements have not returned to the level before the epidemic.

Historically, the box office in North America has steadily exceeded $10 billion every year since 2009, and since 2015, this figure has exceeded $11 billion every year. Before the epidemic, in 2019, although the box office performance of North American movies has been severely squeezed by the streaming media market, the box office of the whole year can still easily reach 11.4 billion US dollars.

On the surface, it seems that the main reason is that the number of films released by Hollywood studios is getting smaller and smaller every year: only 88 films were released on a large scale in 2023, while in 2019, the box office reached 10.5 billion US dollars, which was 108, a full 20 more. However, I really want to say, even if there are 20 more new films in 2023, will it be guaranteed that the box office will increase by 2 billion US dollars? Who can say that these 20 films will get an average of $100 million at the North American box office each?

Movies like Barbie and Oppenheimer can persuade people to pay for tickets because they can only appreciate the beauty of light and shadow when they are watched on the big screen, and the same is true for Taylor Swift: Time Tour Concert, which became a dark horse at the box office near the end of the year. In 2023, when the streaming media service is becoming more and more mature (and saturated), how many movies must be experienced in the cinema in the eyes of the audience? Below, we will look at it according to the winners and losers list of the five major Hollywood manufacturers.

Universal Pictures International

Wins: Super Mario Bros. Movie ($575 million), Oppenheimer ($326 million), Five Nights of the Teddy Bear ($137 million) and Megan ($95 million).

Negative: Speed and Fury 10 ($146 million), Renfield ($17 million), Demeter’s Last Voyage ($13 million).

According to film companies, Universal Pictures, which won $1.93 billion in 2023, topped the North American box office list. With the blockbuster films such as Super Mario Bros. Movie and Oppenheimer, Universal has occupied about 22% of the box office share in North America, slightly overwhelming Disney and winning the first prize since 2015.

In 2023, Universal occupied two seats in the top five most popular films in North America. In addition, the innovative thriller Megan, which cost only $12 million, also earned nearly $100 million at the box office, while Five Nights of the Teddy Bear turned the cost of $20 million into a box office of $137 million, making them the two most cost-effective movies in 2023.

Of course, Universal also made some mistakes in 2023, and the tenth The Fast and the Furious series was exhausted, but the production cost was getting higher and higher, reaching a shocking $340 million, which erased a lot of the annual bonus of Universal.

In 2024, Kung fu panda 4’s "Daddy Thief 4" and other works will be listed around the world, and there is still a chance to win the championship again.

Disney

Wins: Galaxy Guard 3 ($359 million), The Little Mermaid ($297 million), Crazy Element City ($154 million).

Negative: Captain Surprise 2 ($84 million), Indiana Jones 5 ($174 million), Star Wish ($61 million), Haunted House ($68 million).

2023 is Disney’s centenary birthday, which should have been a year worth celebrating. Various commemorative movies, books and activities were also arranged in advance. However, the overall commercial achievements released at the end of the year made 2023 a year when Mickey Mouse fell to the altar.

Since the annual box office accounted for 26% in 2016, Disney has become the sole overlord of Hollywood in the past few years by relying on its fist products such as Marvel Comics and Pixar; The peak appeared in 2019, accounting for 33.3% of the box office. Seven of the top ten films in the world were produced by Disney, and the box office of each film exceeded $1 billion, leaving the other Hollywood giants completely behind.

However, with the arrival of COVID-19, everything came to an abrupt end. Three years after the epidemic, Disney’s box office share was only 11%, 20% and 18% respectively. However, at that time, Disney’s box office declined because of the external factors of closed cinemas and filming stoppage, which can be said to be a crime of no war. By the end of the epidemic in 2023, Disney’s box office still accounts for only 16%, so you can only find the reason from yourself.

The most serious problem is naturally the continuous downturn of the Marvel movie universe. From "Ant Man 3" at the beginning of the year to "Captain Surprise 2" at the end of the year, all of them lost their eye-catching characteristics in the past, and the latter even became the worst box office in the history of Marvel Comics movies, which made Disney CEO Bob Iger admit that at the previous stage, they really made a big mistake of focusing only on quantity and ignoring quality. At the same time, it also reminds opponents once again that there has never been any panacea in Hollywood, and the tastes of the audience are changing rapidly. Sitting on one’s laurels and standing still is doomed to die.

On the whole, among the top ten box offices in North America, Disney still has the illusion that "Guards of the Galaxy 3" ranks fourth, "The Little Mermaid" ranks sixth and "Ant Man 3" ranks eighth, and there is still the illusion that "the skinny camel is bigger than the horse". However, excluding the special circumstances of the epidemic for three years, this has become the first year since 2014 that Disney has not had any film with a global box office exceeding the $1 billion mark.

Of course, Disney’s advantage is that it has acquired a large number of high-quality assets through mergers in the past few years. After being acquired by Disney, 20th Century Fox, which originally belonged to the ranks of the six Hollywood manufacturers, was renamed 20th Century Pictures, and its box office was also included in the Disney Group’s evaluation. In 2023, they released three works, Cabinet Devil, Venetian fright night and AI Creator. Together with the release of Avatar 2 in early 2023, they earned about $400 million in North American box office. Including this part, Disney accounted for about 21% of the annual box office in North America, ranking second.

Warner Bros.

Wins: Barbie ($636 million), Nun 2 ($86 million), Meg 2 ($82 million), Wonka ($143 million).

Negative: The Flash ($108 million), The Blue Beetle ($72 million), Shazam 2 ($57 million), Aquaman 2 ($85 million).

With Barbie, the highest box office in North America in 2023 (the film also won the annual global box office champion with a box office score of $1.44 billion), Warner failed to become the North American box office champion in 2023, ranking third with only $1.4 billion and a share of about 15.24%. I am afraid that the reason can only be attributed to the poor box office performance of DC superheroes.

In addition to Barbie, in 2023, Warner also tasted a lot of sweetness in the horror film Sister 2 and the family movie Wonka. However, they invested about $660 million in the production cost of the four DC films, The Flash, The Blue Beetle, Shazam 2 and Aquaman 2. As a result, the global box office revenue of the four films was less than that of the 2016 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($874 million).

In 2024, Warner will publish Dune 2, Godzilla vs. king kong 2, Clown 2 and other works, which hopefully will lead to a comeback.

Sony pictures

Wins: Spider-Man: The Vertical and Horizontal Universe (US$ 381 million) and The Wronger 3 (US$ 92 million).

Negative: Silly Money ($13 million) and Escape from Cretaceous ($32 million).

In 2020, when the world was in chaos, Sony Pictures once became the biggest winner in the North American film market, gaining more than 20% market share. After that, in 2021, they also continued to be in the forefront. However, in 2022, when everything is slightly back on track, Sony’s market share has retreated to the fifth place. In 2023, the situation is slightly better than that of Paramount, which is at the bottom. The annual box office of less than $1 billion accounts for about 11% of the market.

Stills of Spider-Man: The Vertical and Horizontal Universe

During the three years of the epidemic, Sony released about 16 or 17 works every year, and in 2023, it rose to 27, far more than any other Hollywood factory, and basically recovered to the level before the epidemic.

The animated film Spider-Man: The Vertical and Horizontal Universe, which was released in June, is a rare Marvel Comics movie that sold well at the box office in 2023. The global box office of "Grievance 3" also reached $190 million, almost the same as the first two films, showing the high popularity of Denzel Hayes Washington Jr.. As for "Napoleon" released at the end of the year, it is not a box office success in itself. After all, the production cost of the film is as high as 200 million US dollars. However, this huge sum of money basically comes from Apple with deep pockets, and Sony is only responsible for issuing, and the package will not be compensated.

In 2024, as usual, Sony will have a wave of new films such as Ghostbusters: The Frozen City, Garfield, Mrs. Spider: Super Awakening, Kraven the Hunter, Venom 3, etc., and the box office should make a breakthrough.

Paramount

Wins: Scream 6 ($108 million), Wang Wang Team 2 ($65 million), Teenage Ninja Turtles: Mutant Fight ($118 million).

Negative: Mission Impossible 7 ($172 million) and Dungeons and Dragons: The Glory of Grand Theft Auto ($93 million).

2023 is really a year to break the Hollywood convention. Not only has the invincible superhero movies been beaten, but even Tom Cruise, which has always been a box office guarantee, has experienced the existential crisis of Lian Po’s old age.

Before the release of "Mission Impossible 7", almost everyone expected that it would be Tom Cruise’s second successful summer file after "Top Gun 2". As a result, "Mission Impossible 7" failed to ignite the enthusiasm of North American people for watching movies on the first weekend, and was quickly defeated by Barbie and Oppenheimer. The most deadly thing is that the epidemic pushed the production cost of the film up to an astonishing $291 million, which caused it to bear an excessive burden before it was released.

Dungeons and Dragons: Glory of Grand Theft Auto poster

The box office failure of Dungeons and Dragons was also somewhat unexpected. After all, the film was adapted from a powerful game IP, and the audience’s reputation after the screening was very good, but perhaps because of the schedule, there was still a lack of enough audience to join in, which made this $150 million film unable to break even.

In the whole year, Paramount released a total of 10 films, with a box office of just over $800 million, accounting for about 9.6% of the total box office in North America, ranking fifth, far below the market share of 17.6% in 2022 with the blessing of Top Gun 2.

In 2024, Paramount will release some blockbuster new films, such as Gladiator 2, Transformers: The First Generation and Sonik the Hedgehog 3, which is expected to turn the tide.

Taylor Swift: Time Tour Concert Poster

In addition to the above-mentioned five Hollywood giants, Lionsgate Pictures, which took 6.55% of the market share, ranked sixth in the annual box office in North America. They released 12 films in the whole year, and "Fast Chasing 4" ranked ninth in the annual single box office in North America with $187 million. Further back, the independent film "Voice of Freedom", which is not unusual in shooting, distribution and publicity, won $184 million at the box office, which just squeezed into the tenth place in the annual single-chip box office list in North America.

Taylor Swift: Time Tour Concert, with the same maverick distribution model, earned $179 million at the box office, ranking 11th in the annual single-chip box office list in North America. Independent films like this broke into the top of the annual box office list for more than ten years, which seems to reflect the coming of the unprecedented changes in Hollywood in N years.
