Rapid stabilization of foreign trade exports (building a new development pattern and looking at foreign trade on the first line)

Cartography: Wang Zheping

Core reading

In 2020, China’s foreign trade will overcome the adverse effects of the epidemic, and it is expected to achieve the goal of "promoting stability and improving quality" throughout the year, showing that China’s economy is full of resilience.

In Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, a number of local policies have been issued to support foreign trade enterprises to protect orders and expand the market, so as to promote the rapid stabilization of exports. From here, we can see that the national foreign trade continues to develop well.

This New Year’s Day, Xie Yong, a Zhejiang foreign trade dealer, has been working overtime.

"The foreign trade list has been scheduled for March and April, and foreign customers have been calling these days, busy!" As the distributor responsible for the product sales of Zhejiang Taizhou Zhengli Electric Co., Ltd., Xie Yong obviously felt that the foreign trade export was rapidly stabilizing.

At present, in Taizhou, Xie Yong is not the only dealer who is rushing around. According to the recent statistics of Taizhou Customs, in the first three quarters of 2020, the export growth rate of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in Taizhou (export scale below 100 million yuan) was -20.3%, 0.6% and 1.9% respectively. After a sharp decline in the first quarter, it stopped falling and stabilized in the second quarter, and it has steadily rebounded in the third quarter. In November, it hit a new high in export volume and growth rate in 2020-8.99 billion yuan, an increase of 49.6%.

Orders grew rapidly and foreign trade continued to improve.

While going to the production workshop to keep an eye on the progress, we have to contact foreign agents to inform the progress of the order. Recently, the agent responsible for the sales of automobile shock absorbers in Sanmen County, Taizhou City has been very busy on behalf of the Red Army. Every two or three days, foreign dealers contact Dai Hongjun by email or video, asking him to feedback the market customer demand.

"We have distributors in more than 100 countries and regions such as Europe and America. In order to let them know the production situation of orders for the first time, the company specially opened a 24-hour service hotline to provide order inquiry service." Dai Hongjun told reporters, "Since July 2020, foreign trade orders of enterprises have increased. Since August, it has basically maintained a growth rate of about 50% every month! Now, the order we received has been scheduled for several months. "

Haiyao Arts and Crafts Co., Ltd. is located in Yuanqiao Town, huangyan district, specializing in holiday gifts and home accessories. Zheng Jing, foreign trade business manager of the enterprise, said: "Since July and August last year, old customers have started to place orders at the end of next year. In the past few months, the list has reached the first and second quarters of 2021. "

During the interview, many dealers said: Based on the sales performance of the whole year in 2020, the recovery of foreign trade at the end of the year has made up for the decline in performance at the beginning of the year. "As far as the situation of the whole year is concerned, it is basically the same as in previous years." For the rapid recovery of foreign trade business, dealers believe that the overall situation should be attributed to factors such as significant achievements in domestic epidemic prevention and control and rapid resumption of work and production.

The number of bank loans to foreign trade enterprises is a barometer reflecting the foreign trade situation. It is understood that in recent months, Taizhou Office of Zhejiang Rural Credit Cooperatives has issued loans exceeding 3.6 billion yuan to foreign trade enterprises in the city. Jin Shijiang, the main person in charge of Taizhou office, said: "Recently, the financing needs of many enterprises and distributors are soaring, and we have launched the’ GATT loan’ business. Dealers can use the export declaration form as the basis for loans, and many dealers are very enthusiastic about applying."

Introduce a combination policy to help enterprises guarantee orders.

In the past six months, the biggest feeling of Li Yi, the dealer, is the change in the way of business negotiation. In the past, Li often flew in the sky, talked face to face with customers everywhere, and then finalized the contract order. Now, his way of negotiation has changed from offline to online, and business negotiations are conducted through the Internet. "Online interviews are convenient, fast and sincere."

What benefits Li is the "internet plus Foreign Trade" model recently explored by Taizhou. Taizhou helps foreign trade enterprises to expand the market and grab orders by means of "cloud display", "cloud negotiation" and "cloud docking", and reduces the impact of the epidemic on all aspects of distribution. In 2020, Taizhou organized 47 online exhibitions and established Taizhou’s "Cloud Exhibition" platform. At present, it has settled in more than 600 enterprises, creating a comprehensive exhibition platform integrating regional brand promotion, global procurement and online negotiation.

In addition to making good use of the new format and new model, Taizhou has successively launched a set of measures to stabilize foreign trade.

Taizhou has established a special coordination mechanism and set up a special export class to co-ordinate all work related to export. Recently, a number of local measures have been introduced to boost the development of foreign trade from the aspects of smooth sales, optimized customs clearance and credit guarantee support. The governments of counties (cities, districts) in Taizhou jointly set up a unified government insurance platform for small and micro enterprises. As long as enterprises or distributors are insured by policy-based export credit insurance companies, they can enjoy a discount of more than 30% of the insurance premium rate during the insurance policy in 2020.

In terms of financial support, how is Taizhou implemented? The reporter learned from Taizhou Central Sub-branch of the People’s Bank of China that from the "extension of loans to small and medium-sized enterprises" to the implementation of the credit loan support plan, Taizhou has issued loans of 48.348 billion yuan to 1069 small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in 2020. In the efficiency of bank loan review, give full play to the advantage of "document cross-verification" of blockchain, and speed up from the previous 3 to 7 days to 1 day, greatly improving the financing convenience of foreign trade enterprises.

Stop falling, stabilize and rebound … With the support of a series of policies to stabilize foreign trade, the export growth rate of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises in Taizhou turned positive for the first time in June 2020, which opened the prelude to the rapid recovery of foreign trade throughout the year.

Listen to the demands of enterprises and solve problems on the spot.

"There are many foreign trade orders, and the liquidity of purchasing pumps from suppliers is not enough." In Daxi Town, Wenling City, Chen Lubin, the head of Taizhou Fanglianbao Import and Export Co., Ltd., has been engaged in water pump distribution for more than 10 years. Recently, foreign trade has picked up, and the export volume has soared, which makes him feel the pressure of funds.

A few days ago, when Chen Lubin was worried, Xie Jun, the account manager of Wenling Sub-branch of Agricultural Bank of China, who was carrying out the activity of "serving enterprises, serving the masses and serving the grassroots" (referred to as "three services" activity), came to the company. Knowing the difficulties of enterprises, Wenling Branch of Agricultural Bank of China provided 1 million yuan of low-interest loans to enterprises to solve Chen Lubin’s urgent needs.

"Point-to-point" to carry out "three services" to help foreign trade pick up. At present, all departments in Taizhou are solidly providing services to foreign trade enterprises and foreign trade distributors.

In Jiaojiang District, district leaders recently visited a number of enterprises, talked with business owners and distributors, and worked on the spot to solve problems. Some dealers said: "Recently, the export growth rate of enterprises’ products is fast, but the containers used for transportation are relatively tight." After the question was raised, it was settled through consultation on the spot.

"The current’ three services’ work is very timely, like a pillow when we are sleepy!" In the interview, Zhu Xuanhui, the general manager of Zhejiang Kende Electromechanical Co., Ltd. in luqiao district, was recognized by the entrepreneurs present. Many business owners and distributors said that because various problems in distribution were solved in the "three services", the goods could be exported smoothly, which played a boosting role in the recent recovery of foreign trade.

What other local measures will be taken to promote the continued recovery of foreign trade? The person in charge of Taizhou Municipal Committee said that in the next step, we will continue to strengthen the operation mechanism of foreign trade export special classes and deepen the "three services". While making full use of various policy tools and making policies effective, we will continue to deepen trade support and help enterprises avoid trade risks and promote the steady and good development of foreign trade.

A new mode of renovation of old residential areas in Guangzhou: renovation+operation, rejuvenation and "staying in beauty"

A new mode of renovation of old residential areas in Guangzhou: renovation+operation, rejuvenation and "staying in the face" Recently, the first old residential area renovation design, construction and operation integration (EPCO) project in Guangzhou (15 old residential areas such as Huangshi Garden Community) completed the bidding work. This batch of projects will introduce social capital, invest and operate more than 300 sets of directly managed public houses in the residential area, and promote the introduction of properties in non-property residential areas. In the future, the neighborhood will not only gain a better residential environment and better living facilities, but also welcome young new neighbors and property management companies to realize the effective use of idle public houses and the long-term maintenance of renovation results. Before the renovation, the design effect diagram of the leisure and entertainment area is more in line with the operational requirements. The renovation project of this tender is EPCO integration mode for a long time, which is the first mode adopted in the renovation of old residential areas in Guangzhou. "In the past, the transformation was usually EPC, that is, the general contracting of design and construction. When the project is completed, it will be over. If the community without property is not well managed, the transformation results will be difficult to maintain. This project has added O-operation, and the transformation is only the beginning. It is also necessary to introduce the property and be responsible for the subsequent operation and maintenance. " The relevant staff of the Housing and Construction Bureau of Baiyun District said, "This means that the winning bidder will think about transformation from the whole life cycle, and the design scheme will be more in line with the needs of operation, and it will be’ once transformed and maintained for a long time’." The reporter learned that the consortium dominated by Vision Group won the bid for the project. This "cross-river dragon" enterprise is the first in the country to explore the market-oriented model of the transformation of old communities, because it is built.Beijing’s "Jinsong model" is widely known for its "leading by Party building, guiding by public opinion, sustained meager profit and integration of reform and management". Since the beginning of this year, the Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau has issued supporting policies such as "Trial Measures for Introducing Social Capital to Participate in the Renovation of Old Urban Residential Areas in Guangzhou" and "Implementation Measures for the Activation and Utilization of Existing Buildings in Old Urban Residential Areas in Guangzhou", clarifying that social capital can participate in the implementation of investment, design, construction, operation and maintenance of old residential area renovation projects in a whole chain or in stages. Social capital can participate in the operation of stock resources in old residential areas according to the actual situation of the project, and activate and utilize stock resources such as public houses, public inefficient idle land, motor vehicle parking spaces and public advertising spaces, and encourage the integration of relevant state-owned enterprise properties and private properties, and jointly transform and upgrade and manage them in pieces. By introducing social capital to fill the shortcomings of people’s livelihood in the community, we encourage and guide the existing buildings to be activated and utilized according to the positive list, give priority to increasing public services and municipal public facilities, appropriately increase convenience commercial facilities, enrich community supply, and improve the living quality of the community and the vitality of the block. The design renderings of the carport before the renovation introduced social capital to lease idle public houses and transform them into youth apartments. The tender announcement mentioned that the batch of projects involved 15 old communities including Huangshi Garden, Provincial Medical Dormitory, Dongfang Community, Yijingju and Metallurgical Community.The renovation contents include, but are not limited to, the protection and custody of tree resources within the renovation scope, the rain and sewage diversion renovation of some residential areas, the third-line renovation of public areas in residential buildings and the third-line renovation of public areas in residential areas, the renovation of the facade of the building body, and the addition (renovation) of non-motor vehicle charging piles. It is worth noting that the tender announcement calls for the integration and utilization of vacant public houses within the tender scope, investment and transformation of this part, so as to make assets meet the requirements of commercial operation, build youth apartments, and realize the development and utilization of idle resources and the socialized and sustainable operation of public houses. In addition, property management will be implemented for the residential areas that meet the takeover requirements within the scope of this tender, and a long-term management and maintenance mechanism for residential properties will be established. It is the first time in Guangzhou to introduce social capital to lease idle public houses and invest in transforming them into youth apartments in the transformation of old residential areas. "This part is invested by the society. After the renovation, the value of public houses will be improved. The rental income of enterprises will be put into operation, the resources of idle public houses in the community will be effectively utilized, the dilapidated environment will be improved, and fitness, reading rooms and coffee shops will be added. The vitality of the community will be much better." The relevant staff of the Baiyun District Housing and Construction Bureau said. The transformation and operation of public houses is a "hard bone" without much fat. If an enterprise operates with its own funds, it will generally take more than 10 years to recover its capital. According to the "Trial Measures for Introducing Social Capital to Participate in the Renovation of Old Urban Residential Areas in Guangzhou", the longest service period of social capital is 20 years, and a low-profit and sustainable operation mode is advocated. The integration of design, construction and operation bidding also adopts the idea of matching fat and thin, combining soft and hard, and solves the "hard bone"No one chews on the problem. The Municipal Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said that the implementation of the project will be solidly promoted, and the feasible path of market-oriented operation and long-term maintenance of old residential areas will be continuously explored and improved to help the city update and develop with high quality.

Take a few small pills to keep fit. Is IQ tax charged?

  A Fang (a pseudonym) after 90 often feels tired. Last year, on the recommendation of a friend, an online consulting agency of nutrition collocation in personal tailor prepared some health products for him. "It’s a WeChat applet. It took a few minutes to do the questionnaire. According to the results, the platform gave me some health care products, including seaweed oil, vitamin E and other 5-minute pills." Five small pills a day, A Fang feels that the price is not expensive, and the first order can’t reach 700 yuan. Three months’ worth, and I haven’t finished eating for half a year. Although he didn’t see the effect of these nutritional supplements, he was psychologically satisfied.

  A Fang’s friend left a message for the qianjiang evening news Hour reporter, trying to confirm whether this little pill is reliable or not. "Is this an IQ tax?"

  Nutritionist’s statement:

  The conclusion of the questionnaire is unscientific.

  This online consulting organization of nutrition collocation in personal tailor takes WeChat as the main channel, carries out brand promotion through WeChat official account, and advertises in the circle of friends based on big data, and then uses the strong sociality of WeChat to push the brand to a wider audience. At the same time, it also opened up channels such as Tik Tok, Xiaohongshu and Tmall to capture the youth market.

  The founder of the agency mentioned in an interview with other media that "some people can’t keep eating vegetables and exercising every day. He must smoke, drink and eat fast food in his life, then we can recommend him to take some extra vitamins with the goal of making people healthier. "

  The reporter also spent a few minutes making a questionnaire, including topics such as eating habits and lifestyle. The questions are many and detailed, and some are indeed subjective.

  Finally, the platform for reporter personal tailor’s plan requires five kinds of drugs, with a quantity of three months and a cost of more than 600 yuan.

  Is the vitamin supplement obtained by this consultation reliable?

  After reading the complete questionnaire, Lu Yanxuan, a nutritionist at the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University, said: "The questions involved in the questionnaire are quite reasonable, and there is no problem from the evaluation point of view, but the conclusions drawn through these questions are not enough evidence."

  In other words, these surveys can’t determine what your body needs, and the conclusions drawn from them are too one-sided. For example, fatigue means that the body lacks some nutrients, which is unscientific.

  In her view, as long as you follow the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents (2022) issued by the China Nutrition Society on April 26th, 2022, you can achieve a balanced nutrition.

  "Many health care products, including nutritional supplements, are controversial. Whether they can prevent and alleviate diseases, there is no direct and specific conclusion." Lu Yanxi said.

  In fact, in the usual diet, nutrients are enough. For example, vitamin e exists in our usual cooking oil; Vitamin A can be taken from meat, eggs, milk and dark vegetables.

  Just eat reasonably at ordinary times.

  Special people should supplement nutrients.

  Lu Yan-fung’s conclusion is that a reasonable diet can satisfy nutrition and maintain good health, and no additional supplements are recommended.

  For example, too much calcium intake will interfere with the absorption of zinc and iron; Vitamins A and D are fat-soluble vitamins. If they are not easily metabolized, they may accumulate in the body and even have the risk of poisoning.

  "The dosage standard in China is different from that in foreign countries, so foreign health care products may not be suitable for Chinese." She said that even the most harmless probiotics that can regulate the intestines, everyone has different reactions to it, so you can’t blindly follow suit.

  But some special people really need to supplement nutrients, so they can eat some properly.

  Pregnant women, nursing mothers, young children, the elderly, etc., due to the high demand for some nutrients in special physiological periods, should often consult nutritionists, nutrition experts or doctors (hospitals, health centers) to make reasonable nutritional conditioning to ensure the nutritional needs in special physiological periods.

  The means of nutritional conditioning include diet, nutrient supplement, reasonable exercise and other measures.

  On the whole, Lu Yan-fung suggested that you should not eat health care products to supplement nutrients at will, and a reasonable diet can fully meet the nutrition. If you really want to supplement it, you need to supplement it scientifically and effectively under the guidance of professional doctors.

  2008Beijing Olympic Games in 2008

  The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games adopted a large number of world-leading new technologies, such as ground lifting stage, multimedia, ground LED system, command system, communication system and other dozens of high and new technologies, involving many fields.

  1.Digital lamp

  The Olympic rings rose slowly in the Bird’s Nest and flew into the vast night sky. China’s ancient painting and calligraphy scrolls slowly unfolded, showing the classical artistic conception of ink painting; On the ancient Silk Road, huge wooden boats braved the wind and waves — — These shocking visual effects are outlined by the gorgeous lights of the Bird’s Nest.

QQ screenshot 20160726145819.jpg

  At the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, more than 600 competition lights in the Bird’s Nest were all abandoned, and Zhang Yimou chose its own lighting. Science and technology have entered the digital age, and the lighting effect has also transitioned to digital lights. This new lighting effect makes the scale and imagination of the stage effect of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games to the extreme. Digital lights are used in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games: PG lights, that is, high-brightness projection lamp. By using the principle of optical projection and high-brightness light source, the contents on the negative are projected to the ground in full color, which can form a very visual impact picture effect at night. In the performance of the opening ceremony, the large scroll that runs through the center of the venue and the evolution animation from ancient times to modern times are successively displayed on the scroll, all of which are projected to the center of the venue by this PG lamp after pre-production. The simplicity of black-and-white contrast of China ink painting, the splendor of western oil painting and the strong color of Impressionism are all presented by this high-tech technology.

  2.LED

  LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a semiconductor solid light emitting device, which uses a solid semiconductor chip as a light emitting material. When direct voltage is added at both ends, carriers in the semiconductor recombine to cause photon emission and generate light. LED can directly emit red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, orange, purple and white light.

QQ screenshot 20160726141927.jpg

  In the 2008 Olympic Games, LED was used to the maximum extent. The opening scroll is opened on a huge LED screen. The screen is 147 meters long and 22 meters wide. It is a huge platform with the highest scientific and technological content, with 44,000 LEDs on it. The light and shadow effects made by LED are closely combined with performances, which conjure up various patterns and introduce the audience into a fantastic world. After repeated tests, LED can completely stand the tests of stepping on by actors and flooding. Although the whole opening ceremony took a long time, the key technologies such as battery solved the energy problem of LED.

  3.Aluminum alloy material

QQ screenshot 20160726142026.jpg

  At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, a big hole was opened in the center of the stage, and a "earth" with a height of 6 stories and a diameter of about 20 meters slowly rose from it. Where is such a big "earth" hiding? It turns out that this "earth" is compressed underground first, that is to say, the spherical structure must be flexible. When placed on the ground, it is oval, and it will become spherical after being pulled up by the steel wire above.

  After the ball is lifted by the lifting platform, the actor needs to perform on the vertical surface of the ball, so it needs strong stability after lifting to ensure the safety and effect of the performance. This all depends on high-tech aluminum alloy photosensitive materials, which makes the "earth" flexible.

  4.multi-media

QQ screenshot 20160726142220.jpg

  At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, "birds" and "whales" flew and swam freely over the huge scrolls. How did these come about? It turns out that slide projection technology was used in the opening ceremony before, but this time, all kinds of multimedia equipment were used. It can use computers to digitize media information such as words, graphics, images, animations, sounds and videos, and then integrate them into a certain interactive interface, so as to create a bowl-shaped screen of thousands of square meters at the top of the Bird’s Nest, showing a clear picture of the whale swimming freely and expressing the harmony between man and nature.

  5.Digital ignition

QQ screenshot 20160726142818.jpg

  Twenty-nine huge colorful footprints made up of fireworks opened the curtain of the 29th Beijing Olympic Games, symbolizing that the modern Olympic Games is coming towards Beijing step by step and entering the Bird’s Nest. The lighting of these 29 big footprints is controlled by computer system and digital lighting is adopted. This technology can ignite all fireworks in a short time, ensuring that fireworks can cross 3.5 kilometers in just a few seconds. In addition, there are 22 launching points in the dragon-shaped water system next to the Bird’s Nest. After digital control by computer, all fireworks bombs can shoot into the sky one after another, making the fireworks look like a flying dragon. Although traditional fireworks are still used, after digital ignition, fireworks show different visual effects from the past.

  Getty Images, the official photo agency of London Olympic Games, installed photographic robots in some Olympic venues, which can realize remote control and 360-degree rotation. According to the NBC report, "photographic equipment can be hidden in flashlights, rafters and scaffolding, and placed in and around the Olympic Games, which can play the most important role in places where photographers can’t reach because of distance and safety reasons."

  2.A more attractive voice

  It is reported in the Atlantic Monthly that most of the voices heard on TV during watching the Olympic Games are not true. Some sounds were not recorded at the game site, at least in this sense, it is not true. Some audio is recorded in advance under optimized conditions and then used for TV broadcast. The website of Atlantic Monthly also cited an example of the Olympic archery competition. An Olympic audio engineer said that the sound was based on the sound he heard in the movie Robin Hood. He used a special microphone to collect the sound on the ground between the archer and the arrow rake. It is said that this method produces a sound that no one can actually experience at the scene.

  3.Double runway

QQ screenshot 20160726154303.jpg

  The runway of the main stadium of London Olympic Games has adopted a brand-new surface, which means that track and field athletes do not need to wear spikes to participate in the competition. According to the BBC, "Other runways are designed with rubber particles on the top floor, which combines the traction and shock absorption. Different from the past, the runway designed by Mondo separates these functions into two layers. The bottom layer is padded, which can cushion and shock absorption, and the top layer is durable, which can maximize the skid resistance, adhesion friction and durability. " This design makes it unnecessary for athletes to wear spikes on the track.

  4.artificial limb

http://i1.ce.cn/intl/specials/zxgjzh/201207/30/W020120730294689189504.jpg

  South African athlete Oscar Pistorius, who has nicknames such as "Oscar Pistorius" and "the fastest legless man in the world", became the first athlete to use artificial limbs to participate in the Paralympic Games. After a controversy over whether artificial limbs should be allowed to participate in the Olympic Games, Pistorius used special carbon fiber artificial limbs to participate in the 400-meter and 4×400-meter relay races.

  5. Athletes who put data first

QQ screenshot 20160726154743.jpg

  London Olympic Games is a "digital Olympics". Many athletes use sleep tracking devices and motion capture systems to understand their physical condition more accurately. According to the Financial Times, some companies dealing in biometric instruments also deal with athletes to participate in data collection to improve the performance of gadgets.

  6.Virtual bicycle

/gkimage/9n/s1/uh/9ns1uh.png

  Although it is thousands of miles away from London, Australian cyclists have been training in London cycling track by using virtual reality technology. In a video of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation explaining the technology, it can be seen that cyclists are looking at a screen that looks like a video game, which is actually an environment that is completely simulated according to the London Olympic Road Cycling Stadium. Each training bicycle is fixed in the Australia Institute of Sport, but it is equipped with a screen, a GPS and some ranging tools. This system can also collect the training data of athletes, and the coach can clearly know their time-consuming, speed, energy and riding distance.

  7.start detection system

QQ screenshot 20160726160118.jpg

  Omega, the official timer of the Olympic Games, brought a new starting equipment to swimming and track and field events in London Olympic Games. The track starter is fully electronic for the first time. It is said that the technology in the 1970s required athletes to push the starting device 5 mm to start. Now, swimmers start to light up directly to show who is in the first place, who is in the second place and who is in the third place.

  8.Kick sensor

  Originally, the Olympic Games may cancel the Taekwondo competition, but technically recording the strength and accuracy of kicking may save the event. Zhao Zhengyuan, president of the World Taekwondo Federation, said in an interview: "I think Taekwondo will really benefit from technology, because it can ensure that medals will be awarded to the best athletes and will not be awarded to others because of misjudgment by the referee. This is an excellent opportunity for us to stay in the Olympic Games. There are few competitions with this technology, which will help to eliminate human errors in taekwondo competitions. "

  9.Digital housekeeper

  Being selected for the Olympic Games is not only a proof of strength for an athlete, but also a supreme honor. Can the organizers of the Olympic Games use the power of science and technology to help athletes concentrate on the competition and eliminate their worries in life? Atos, the digital partner of the London Olympic Games, did just that. Atos Company established an identity information system for nearly 15,000 athletes who participated in the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. The athletes who were included in the system were equivalent to obtaining a certification label, which made it easier to obtain visas and a series of preferential policies. Atos Company has also compiled a supporting application, so that athletes can log in to their identity accounts through their mobile phones, tablets or computers on weekdays. The account will contain a lot of information including the competition schedule, training plan and competition results, which is equivalent to providing a "digital housekeeper" for each participant.

  10.Reduce the burden on runners

  As a space power, the United States has also applied its own space technology to the preparations for the Olympic Games. Shannon Rowbury, a well-known American long-distance runner, unfortunately suffered from an injury and her femur was damaged. However, with the help of space science and technology, she only rested for six weeks after diagnosis and resumed training. Robery uses a set of AlterG anti-gravity running assistant device, which allows the trainer to train with at least 20% of his own weight, and the physical burden of the athlete will be greatly reduced. The principle of this treadmill is to pump air into the air bag around the runner’s waist. When the air pressure in the air bag rises, the runner will be lifted and the weight load will be reduced. Athletes can reduce their weight by up to 80% simply by pressing the up/down buttons in the panel.

  11.Team overall data analysis

/gkimage/7y/1d/84/7y1d84.png

  For cyclists, the wind tunnel laboratory is their loyal scientific and technological partner. The data analysis in the wind tunnel laboratory can help athletes optimize training programs, adjust training methods, and improve their performance by using aerodynamic scientific and technological achievements. But for a long time, the analysis of wind tunnel laboratory can only serve an athlete on a personal basis. Researchers at Monash University in Australia have improved an experimental device used to test airplanes and cars, enabling it to collect data of athletes for analysis. More crucially, this machine has crossed the barrier of analyzing individuals before, and can analyze the data of the whole bicycle fleet at the same time. In this way, the coach can make a training plan for the whole team according to the analysis results and find ways to improve the team’s performance.

  12.Red BullXplan

/gkimage/d4/26/oh/d426oh.png

  Although an athlete participates in the Olympic Games alone, he represents more than just him. Behind the athletes, there is a team of coaches who support his motherland and train for him. Lolo Jones, an American hurdler, participated in the Red Bull Project X. She once said in a video: "I’m not fighting alone". The video shows the whole team behind Jones: a coach, a director, a manager, a sports scientist, a coaching consultant and a physiology consultant. Such a rich and powerful work team is naturally not busy in vain, they use the most cutting-edge technology.

  The Red Bull X project uses a 3D digital analysis system, which can do many things that humans can’t. Plan X is divided into three parts — — Vicon 3D tracking system, optical measurement system Optojump Next and data acquisition tool Phantom Flex Camera. The three technologies complement each other, which can not only give a macro evaluation of athletes’ performance, but also disassemble every minute of training competition into countless tiny fragments for analysis.

  Jones’s team made 39 reflection marks on her body. With these marks, 40 Vicon T40S motion capture cameras capable of shooting 2000 frames per second will track all her movements. Optojump Next, an optical measurement system, will decompose every jump of Jones into contact time, flight time, height, hurdle rhythm, specific energy, specific power, total energy and total power. Finally, Phantom Flex Camera, a top camera capable of shooting 10,750 frames per second, will record Jones’ every minute with images.

  "If technology can help an athlete perform better, then this system can benefit everyone." Jones’s average hurdle time is 12.5 seconds, which she believes is largely due to the help of the team and technology behind her.

  13.Real time feedback device

/gkimage/ec/b3/t6/ecb3t6.png

  Good results in the competition will be cheered by the audience and graded by the referee. However, in training, how do athletes know their performance? Jonathan Green, composer, sound engineer and Gregory Sporton, dancer of the Visualization Research Unit at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design in Birmingham, England, developed a feedback system called Motivepro. The original intention of this system is to provide real-time action feedback for dancers. Dancers are required to wear a series of sensors, and their movement information will be collected by Motivepro. Once the wearer’s physical activity exceeds the preset range, the vibrator in the device will vibrate to remind him.

  Mimi Cesar, a rhythmic gymnast, found that this system can also be applied to rhythmic gymnastics similar to dance. For rhythmic gymnastics, the synchronization of the team is particularly critical. Motivepro system can give a reminder when an athlete’s movements are out of step, and can also collect sports information for the coach to analyze. With this system to help train, will the cooperation of the whole team be more tacit?

  14.Brand-new pool take-off platform

/gkimage/jo/wr/gn/jowrgn.png

  The 2012 London Olympic Games used a brand-new upgraded swimming pool jumping platform in swimming competition. The platform was designed and manufactured by Omega. Compared with the previous take-off platform, the progress is that it has an adjustable inclined pedal certified by patent, which makes the athlete’s hind legs bend into a 90-degree angle when taking off in a squatting manner, which is considered to be the most suitable take-off posture. The new take-off platform is also equipped with a brand-new sensing system. This sensing system can ensure that athletes can hear the whistle at the beginning of the game at the same time, which can effectively avoid unnecessary mistakes of athletes. At the same time, the newly upgraded swimming pool take-off platform in Shanghai is equipped with a signal light system called "Swimming Ranking Indicator". At the end of the competition, the swimming lanes that won the first, second and third place will be marked on the take-off platform by different light spots, so that the audience can see at a glance.

  15.Advanced drug testing equipment

/gkimage/mo/dq/9m/modq9m.png

  GlaxoSmithKline is at King’ s College next to the Olympic Park. S College) has set up The Science Centre to serve the Olympic drug testing. During the Olympic Games, the center worked 24 hours a day, monitoring more than 6,000 urine samples and blood samples every day. After each competition, all the medal winners and the remaining half of the randomly selected contestants enter the center for illegal drug testing. The tested samples are divided into two parts, A and B, and A is stored for eight years for future more advanced scientific and technological testing; B was sent to the drug testing center. The drug testing center can check 70 illegal drug ingredients in one test, and each sample will be tested here for a total of 240 illegal drug ingredients. It can be seen that the fair conduct of the Olympic Games has a strong technical guarantee.

  16.Electronic medical records

/gkimage/pt/r7/jk/ptr7jk.png

  General Electric (GE) Medical Company provided an electronic medical record solution for the 2012 London Olympic Games, which made it possible for doctors and athletes to make medical records accessible through the Internet. The electronic medical records covering more than 700 participants were made in 90 days after the countdown to the London Olympic Games. At the same time, GE Medical Company also installed medical diagnostic equipment in the Olympic Park as a supporting facility for the whole set of electronic medical records.

  17.Top medical logistics

/gkimage/zc/pm/p9/zcpmp9.png

  During the Olympic Games, more than 16,000 Olympic athletes and more than 6,000 Paralympic athletes living in the Olympic Village will be fortunate to receive top-level medical logistics support. The latest version of super-large magnetic resonance imaging instrument, ultra-high-definition CT instrument, wireless digital X-ray detection system, upgraded ultrasonic detector and ECG detection equipment specially designed for the Olympic Games provided by GE Medical Company have all opened the eyes of medical volunteers for the Olympic Games. These equipments will not be removed after the Olympic Games, and they will continue to serve in this land that bears cheers and sweat.

  2014Winter Olympics in Sochi in

  Snow making: snow cannon

  Snow making machine is a brand-new snow making system, which forms ice on an evaporator at -15℃ and sends it to ski slopes through cooled air. Due to the climate, Beijing and Zhangjiakou host the Winter Olympics, and a large number of snow making equipment will be used. Funa machine is not affected by climate, so long as it can keep a certain amount of water, it can make snow.

  At the Sochi Olympic Games, the venue was really unfortunate — — Sochi is one of the warmest regions in Russia. In order to ensure that there is enough powdery snow to support the competition, Russian organizers use snow cannons to shoot a large number of artificial snowflakes. According to the news released by The New York Times, about 230 million gallons of water were used to make snow in this competition, and the snowfall covered an area of about 1,000 football fields.

Investigation on the intervention of Provincial Education Department in a secondary technical school in Henan Province by forging student status and defrauding funds.

  According to Voice of China: Recently, Voice of China continued to report a secondary vocational school in Henan — — There are some problems in Henan Polytechnic School, such as forging student lists to obtain state education funds and renting state assets for illegal profits. In this regard, the staff of the Henan Provincial Department of Finance said that the school had previously had some expenses that were not uniformly registered and accounted for in the accounting books set up according to law, and that the school had been punished for privately storing public funds.

  The Henan Provincial Department of Education said that it had been investigating and verifying the forgery of the student status list to obtain education funds, but it was unable to provide reporters with the list of students used by the school to apply for per capita funding. In fact, in recent years, the problems of enrollment, charging and management of secondary vocational education are not uncommon. Then, how to supervise the chaos in secondary vocational education?

  Forged the student list, rented the teaching building, and the funds fell into the private "small treasury"

  Informed sources told reporters that in recent years, there have been many students who dropped out of school early without completing their studies, and the school information still shows that they are studying at school. Based on this, the school has obtained the education funds allocated by the province.

  Insider: "But what does it mean that students are still registered as students, and they are still registered as students?" That is, as soon as he registered, he handed it to the Education Department. This is not registered, and then this list was handed over to the Finance Department, and this student was dialed. "

  The school staff provided the reporter with a list of 118 students who dropped out of two colleges early, and the Voice of China reporter verified them one by one. All the students in this list dropped out of school for different reasons in less than one year. However, most of the students’ information shows that they are still in Henan Polytechnic School.

  Reporter: "Have you been studying in this Henan Polytechnic School for 16 years?"

  Lost students: "Yes."

  Reporter: "So you haven’t been there for a while?"

  Lost students: "About a year."

  According to the funding basis of the per-student funding of vocational schools in Henan Province, full-time vocational schools allocate funds strictly according to the number of students’ status, and the subsidies for different majors such as arts and sciences range from 5,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan per person per year. For those students who dropped out of school early, but their school status is still in school, the school theoretically received per capita funding.

  In addition, many school staff reported that the school’s income from renting state assets including the comprehensive teaching building was not recorded, and the principal set up a "small treasury" privately.

  The number of forgers and the allocation are still being verified, and the private small treasury is fined 10,000 yuan.

  In response to this matter, the Voice of China reporter contacted the Henan Provincial Department of Education many times. The relevant staff of the Department of Education responded that the relevant situation has been investigated and verified, but the Department of Education does not have a list of students provided by the school to apply for per capita funding, and the funding is the responsibility of the financial department. The reporter then contacted the Henan Provincial Department of Finance, and the staff of the Department of Finance said that the financial department allocated funds according to the data provided by the education department.

  Staff of the Finance Department: "We still record the number of students provided by the education department into our budget system, and determine its quota according to the number of students."

  In addition, the staff of the Henan Provincial Department of Finance said that an administrative penalty of 10,000 yuan had been imposed in accordance with relevant regulations.

  Expert: We should strengthen supervision and improve the funding system and methods.

  In fact, in recent years, there have been incidents of false enrollment, arbitrary charges, and taking funds from secondary vocational education. In this regard, Wang Jianzhuang, executive dean and chief researcher of Henan Institute of Private Education, said that in addition to the main responsibility of the school, the living environment of secondary vocational schools, the utilitarian consciousness of individual schools and the official standard structure of vocational schools are all factors.

  Wang Jianzhuang: "Because the competition for students is so fierce, some schools don’t run according to an educational law. Such a school, it tries to get funds through some improper means, and the per capita funding is the main source of funds for their school. Therefore, this will also have problems in system design, and this phenomenon will occur with some loopholes in supervision. "

  Wang Jianzhuang believes that to completely change this situation, we need the joint efforts of the government, schools and other parties. While improving the quality of managers in secondary vocational schools, we should improve the funding system and methods, establish a mechanism to allocate funds to the extent that graduates serve the society, encourage the growth of high-quality secondary vocational education resources, and realize scientific development.

  Wang Jianzhuang: "We use it to cultivate students’ other achievements, and its graduates serve the overall evaluation of society to allocate its funds in a planned way. For example, to evaluate a school and a secondary vocational school, there are 300 graduates this year. I will count the employment situation of your graduates through the graduates in the past five years, and I have an indicator of his contribution to the local economic and social development, and then I will give you the funds after this year in proportion, which is better. "

  Voice of China will continue to pay attention to the progress of the follow-up investigation on this matter.

High military spending, the United States continues to disrupt the world (global hotspot)

  On February 19th, thousands of anti-war activists in the United States held a rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. Protesters demanded that the United States stop inciting the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and cut US military spending. The picture shows a protester holding a slogan to cut military spending to attend the rally.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Jieshe

  The White House recently announced the fiscal year 2024 budget, and plans to allocate 842 billion US dollars for the US Department of Defense, which is the highest military budget ever proposed by the US government. In addition, the budget also plans to inject capital into defense-related projects in other departments.

  Experts pointed out that the fundamental purpose of the high US military expenditure is to maintain hegemony. Supported by high military expenditure, the United States continues to disrupt the world and bring instability to the world. The uncertainty of the external environment has become the reason for the United States to further increase its military spending, which has led to the United States falling into the strange circle of "the higher the military spending, the less safe it is."

  The highest military expenditure in peacetime

  According to the news released on the website of the US Department of Defense, the US government’s 2024 budget proposed to allocate 842 billion US dollars for the Pentagon. This amount is $26 billion higher than the military budget for fiscal year 2023 proposed by the US government and $100 billion higher than that for fiscal year 2022.

  "The US government’s military budget in 2024 hit a record high." Today, the Russian TV website reported that at present, the US military expenditure has exceeded the sum of the military expenditures of the nine countries ranked next.

  Reuters reported that in addition to the $842 billion allocated to the U.S. Department of Defense, the new budget also plans to allocate $44 billion for defense-related projects of the FBI, the U.S. Department of Energy and other institutions, which will bring the total defense-related budget of the United States in fiscal year 2024 to $886 billion, which is the highest defense budget proposed by the U.S. government in peacetime.

  The website of National Defense magazine reported that $886 billion is expected to account for 3.2% of the US GDP in 2024 and 47% of the US federal government’s discretionary expenditure.

  American military spending has been the highest in the world for many years. According to the data of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in Sweden, during the 10 years from 2012 to 2021, the US military expenditure always ranked first in the world, accounting for 39% of the total global military expenditure in the past 10 years. In December 2022, the US House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2023, which stipulated that the US defense budget in 2023 was as high as 858 billion US dollars. This is the first time that US military expenditure has exceeded 800 billion US dollars.

  McChord, Chief Financial Officer and Auditor-General of the US Department of Defense, recently told American media that the ratio of US military budget to GDP in 2024 is not the highest in history. The defense budget of the United States in the late Iraq war and Afghanistan war accounted for much more than 3.2% of GDP. He added that the US military expenditure during World War II once reached one third of GDP.

  In order to maintain high military spending, the United States does not hesitate to empty its pockets. Recently, many foreign media have noticed that the financial health of the United States has declined. The national debt burden of the United States has now exceeded 31 trillion US dollars, far exceeding the total GDP of 25 trillion US dollars. According to the website of the US Defense News Weekly, Speaker of the US House of Representatives McCarthy promised to cut the federal budget by 130 billion US dollars to reduce the US debt burden, but neither the Senate nor the House of Representatives opposed the continued increase in military spending.

  Reuters said that the US Congress will discuss the 2024 budget in the coming months. The US Congress may further increase military spending on the basis of the budget proposed by the White House.

  "Still being false ‘ Hegemonic dream ’ Trapped "

  According to the information published on the website of the White House, $842 billion includes $9.1 billion of targeted investment in the Pacific Deterrence Program of the US Department of Defense. The plan aims to strengthen the presence of the United States in the Pacific region. The new budget also proposes to provide $6 billion in aid to Ukraine. In addition, the new budget also stated that it would invest $2 billion to "make game-changing investments in the Indo-Pacific region".

  In terms of weapons and equipment, the United States is also continuing to "burn money." Reuters said that the new budget proposed to invest a huge sum of US$ 145 billion in the weapons research and development program, specifically for developing long-range strike weapons such as hypersonic missiles and promoting the modernization of US military equipment.

  The White House said in a statement that the 2024 military budget aims to "ensure American security" and strengthen cooperation with allies and partners to "meet urgent global challenges". Among them, "China" and "Russian" became the key words that frequently appeared in the statement.

  "The fundamental purpose of the United States to maintain high military spending is to maintain its own hegemony." Yuan Zheng, deputy director and researcher of the American Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that the United States has always believed in the law of the jungle in the diplomatic field, believing that military power is an important pillar of American global hegemony, and firmly believes that if it wants to maintain its hegemonic position and enhance its so-called ability to intervene in international affairs, it must increase its investment in military spending.

  "In recent years, the United States has returned its strategic focus to the so-called ‘ Competition among great powers ’ , regard China and Russian as the main ‘ Challenge ’ And ‘ Threat ’ , hope in the face of ‘ Strategic opponent ’ At the same time, it maintained a strong military deterrent, so it continued to increase military spending, which made the US military expenditure increase obviously. At the same time, the United States continued to provide military assistance to Ukraine, which led to the decline of ammunition stocks in the United States, and it was necessary to purchase more ammunition to make up for the vacancy, further pushing up US military expenditure. In addition, the inflation factor also has an impact on the rise of military spending. " Yuan Zheng said.

  "In today’s world, from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Iranian nuclear issue to the South China Sea dispute, there are many conflicts and disputes behind the United States." Zhou Fangyin, vice president of Guangdong Institute of International Strategic Studies, said, "The United States has always regarded military hegemony as the core means to achieve strategic goals and hopes to seek other interests with military superiority. At the same time, the United States also hopes to enhance its allies’ confidence in the United States and maintain the US-led alliance system by increasing military investment. "

  "The United States is still being falsely ‘ Hegemonic dream ’ Trapped. " Recently, Andrew Bacevic, an honorary professor of international relations and history at Boston University, published an article on the bimonthly website of American Diplomacy, saying that American foreign policy agencies insist that the world needs more American military forces, and the fiasco of the Iraq war and the Afghan war has not stopped the United States from "betting" on military operations. For decades, America’s military misjudgment has wasted a lot of American wealth and sacrificed the lives of thousands of Americans. According to Brown University’s "War Cost Accounting" project, since the "September 11th" incident, the United States has spent about $8 trillion on global military operations, and the costs of these military operations far outweigh the gains.

  American military spending remains high, and there is a military-industrial complex behind it. Reuters reported that the 2024 budget of the United States was the first budget that explicitly proposed to sign long-term contracts with American arms dealers for the procurement of missiles and other ammunition. In the past, such long-term contracts were only used for the purchase of aircraft and ships. According to the report, the new budget will benefit major US arms dealers such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Lockdyne, Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics.

  Zhou Fangyin said that the military-industrial complex composed of the US military, arms dealers, politicians and think tanks has strong political influence in the United States. In recent years, despite the economic downturn, increasing financial difficulties, and unhealthy government revenue and expenditure, the United States has maintained high military expenditures, which has already damaged the economic growth and competitiveness of the United States. However, due to the lobbying and encouragement of the military-industrial complex, the US government refused to cut military spending even if it cut other expenditures.

  "There has always been a call to cut military spending in the United States, but in the end it often ends in vain. Obviously, there are huge interest groups behind it." Zhou Fangyin said.

  A dangerous signal.

  High military expenditure continues to support the US overseas military operations. Some American media found that from 1798 to 2022, the United States launched 469 military activities overseas, and only 251 times in the short period of more than 30 years since the end of the Cold War, far exceeding the sum of more than 190 years before the end of the Cold War. The targets of these military operations involve most countries in the world.

  Stimulated by the new round of high military expenditure, the US military plan is more active. According to the website of the US Defense News Weekly, the funds allocated to the US Department of Energy in the new US budget in 2024 will provide a "strong technical and engineering foundation" for the trilateral security partnership between the United States, Britain and Australia. A few days ago, the United States, Britain and Australia just announced a new nuclear submarine cooperation plan, and the nuclear proliferation behavior of the three countries has taken another dangerous step.

  Yuan Zheng said that the United States believes in force and is obsessed with increasing military spending and enhancing its ability to intervene abroad. This concept violates the purposes of the UN Charter and the basic norms of international relations based on international law, and runs counter to the trend of world peace and development. At present, on the basis of its strong military strength, the United States is still increasing its expenditure on weapons research and development and procurement, and promoting the modernization of its military equipment, which is a dangerous signal to other countries. This move will stimulate the arms race, aggravate international tensions and undermine the global strategic balance.

  "The United States has greatly increased its military spending, which has also made the relationship between major powers even more tense." Yuan Zheng said, "The United States regards China and Russia as its main strategic competitors, engages in proxy war behind the Ukrainian crisis, tries to bring down and consume Russia, and constantly uses the situation in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait to fully contain China. These acts seriously endanger regional peace and security and bring instability to the world, which is by no means a good thing for global strategic stability. "

  In the new budget, the United States also proposes to "strengthen democracy and promote human rights on a global scale". To this end, the budget will provide more than 3.4 billion US dollars for "strengthening free and independent media; Combating corruption, strengthening democracy, and defending free and fair elections and political processes.

  The bimonthly website of American Diplomacy published an article entitled "The Root of Washington’s Addiction to Force", saying that the United States has developed the inertia of interfering in international affairs. During the Cold War, under the banner of national security, the United States supported coups, intervened in elections and secretly took military action around the world. After the end of the Cold War, the old habits of the United States were still deeply rooted, and they began to call themselves "leaders of the free world" and continued to intervene under the banner of "protecting human rights and promoting democracy".

  Zhou Fangyin said that the United States is currently caught in a vicious circle of military expansion. On the one hand, in the name of safeguarding world security, the United States has greatly increased its military expenditure and created contradictions and conflicts around the world. On the other hand, in order to intervene and intervene in these conflicts, the United States needs huge financial support, thus further increasing its military expenditure. For many years, the United States has been trapped in this cycle.

  "Since World War II, the United States has always been the most powerful country in the world. If the United States really wants to promote world security, it can make achievements in many fields. However, the interest of the United States has never been to promote world peace and security, but to expand its international influence, suppress its strategic opponents and safeguard its global hegemony. As a result, it has not only added instability and uncertainty to the world, but also made the United States pay a high price. The United States has always believed that there are enemies and insecurity outside, so it has continuously strengthened its military investment, thus stepping into the strange circle of arrogance. " Zhou Fangyin said. (Reporter Lin Zihan)
