Evolutionary history of Volkswagen GOLF

There is such a car, which has experienced 46 years of history and is still enduring. Its emergence perfectly explains the compact hatchback.

This car is not only a household name in China, but also fascinated by a large number of fans all over the world. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and football superstar David Beckham are its owners. It isVolkswagen Golf.

The first generation of golf: 1974-1983

In May 1974, the first generation of golf officially entered people’s sight.. Italian car designer Giorgetto put forward the design concept of "origami", with angular overall shape, black plastic air intake grille, two round headlights, straight bumper and simple lines, which are very intriguing.

The first generation of golf used a hatchback design, and there are two versions of three-door hatchback and five-door hatchback.

The engine adopts front drive, and the chassis suspension adopts front McPherson and rear semi-trailing arm dependent suspension.

In terms of power, the first-generation golf that was originally launched was equipped with a 1.1-liter inline four-cylinder engine.Since then, golf with 1.3-liter, 1.5-liter, 1.6-liter and 1.7-liter gasoline engines and 1.5-liter and 1.6-liter diesel engines have been introduced one after another, matched with 4-speed and 5-speed manual gearboxes and 3-speed automatic gearboxes.

In June 1976, Volkswagen introduced the Golf GTI, a golf derivative model.

The acceleration time of 0-100km/h is only 9 seconds for a 1.6L engine with 108 horsepower.This data is a very attractive car even now. Perhaps golf has defined what a real "small steel gun" is.

The global sales of the first generation golf totaled 6,780,050 sets, so the "National God Car" gained a firm foothold.

The second generation of golf: 1983-1992

In August 1983, Volkswagen introduced the second generation golf, and the models were still three-door and five-door hatchbacks.. Although the head shape of the second generation golf seems to have no obvious change from that of the first generation, it is smoother as a whole, and the size of the whole car has increased compared with that of the first generation, and the wheelbase has increased by about 70mm to 2470 mm.

In terms of power, the second generation golf is equipped with 1.3-liter, 1.6-liter and 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder engines. According to different models, the second generation golf is equipped with 4-speed and 5-speed manual gearboxes and 3-speed automatic gearboxes to choose from.The global sales of the second generation golf totaled about 6,301,000 sets.

The Third Generation Golf: 1991-1997

The third generation of golf appeared in August 1991.In terms of appearance, the third generation golf is more rounded, and the headlight shape has become an inner oval style. The turn signals and fog lights on both sides of the bumper are designed in one piece, and the thick black rubbing strips echo with the black lips below. Configuration has increased, such as electric sunroof, remote control key and airbag.

It is worth mentioning that,The 2.8L VR6 naturally aspirated engine was used for the first time in the third generation golf.. By 1994, the engine displacement of Golf VR6 was increased to 2.9L. Within a six-year life cycle,About 4,805,900 sets of third-generation golf were sold.Although the competition of hatchback cars is becoming increasingly fierce, millions of sales still prove the strong product strength of the third generation golf.

The Fourth Generation Golf: 1997-2003

The fourth generation of golf should be the most impressive for domestic consumers.Because FAW-Volkswagen introduced it to China in 2003.

The fourth generation golf, which was introduced in 1997, has gradually become familiar with people. The design concept of the car follows the "arched" design language of Volkswagen in that year, that is, "Arched" design language.At the same time, this generation of golf put the Volkswagen logo in the middle of the steering wheel, and it is still in use today.

Domestic golf is equipped with naturally aspirated engines with displacement of 1.6L, 1.8L and 2.0L.This year (2003) was also the year when overseas golf models were discontinued. However, the domestically produced golf still maintained the high quality of overseas models, which can be described as full of virtue.

In fact, Golf 4 also has GTI version, but FAW-Volkswagen did not introduce it, which also led many golf fans to transplant Audi TT engine in the later period to achieve GTI performance.

In 2002, Volkswagen introduced the Golf R32, which was equipped with the same 3.2L V6 engine of Audi TT, and the acceleration time of 0-100km/h was only 6.6s This kind of power should be the peak of the small steel gun at that time.

The Fifth Generation Golf: 2003-2008

Volkswagen released the fifth generation golf at the Frankfurt Motor Show in October 2003., and it was officially released one month later. After nearly 30 years of evolution, the recognition of golf design has become stronger. The body size has also been continuously lengthened, reaching 4204X1759X1479mm (length/width/height) and the wheelbase is 2578 mm.

Due to the hot sale of Golf 4 in the domestic market, and considering that the fifth generation golf is not very popular in Europe, it has not been introduced into China.

This generation also has GTI version, 2.0T engine, the maximum power is 197 horsepower, and the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is only 6.9sHowever, due to the high import price, many domestic fans missed their dreams. Although golf is not on fire, its sedan version is on fire-Sagitar.

Sixth Generation Golf: 2008-2013

The 6th Generation Golf debuted at the Paris Motor Show in 2008., which is based on the upgrade of PQ35 platform of the fifth generation golf. The inspiration of the new car comes from the first and fourth generation golf. The shape of the blackened headlights on the front of the car has changed slightly, and the curve on the inside of the headlights has been changed to a nearly right-angle design.

In 2009, the sixth generation golf models continued to be imported from FAW-Volkswagen. This generation of cars is also the first car for many domestic consumers. The overall working materials and configuration level of the interior have been strengthened, and good sales results have been achieved in both domestic and other markets.

Although there are only 1.6L and 1.4T engines made in China, they still can’t resist the buying enthusiasm of domestic consumers, and once there was a phenomenon of raising the price to pick up the car.

However, the problem was quickly exposed, that is, the life of the 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox.Many car owners feedback that the vehicle shifts jitter, abnormal noise, and sometimes even insufficient power output. Although Volkswagen finally gave the promise of extending the gearbox warranty, consumers were very sad about this hurdle.

It is worth mentioning that,In March 2010, the domestic golf GTI was officially listed, with a price of 235,800 yuan.. The domestic production of golf GTI injected fresh blood into the gradually refined automobile market at that time. Domestic golf GTI is basically the same as overseas models, but the power is weakened.Adopt the same 200 HP 2.0TSI engine as Magotan.

In 2011, Golf R was officially imported and sold in China, which brought good news to "steel cannon" lovers.

Seventh Generation Golf: 2013-present

At the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the seventh generation of golf was officially unveiled., sharing the MQB platform with Audi A3, and being equipped with 1.2T EA211 engine for the first time, the power and fuel economy have been improved.

The body size has been improved, with the length, width, height and wheelbase of 4259/1799/1476mm and the wheelbase of 2637mm respectively.

The appearance is more tough, and the headlights are perfectly integrated with the air intake grille. Standard LED daytime running lights and LED taillights also make Gao 7 more avant-garde, and all these changes make its prospects look almost perfect.

However, for the sake of cost, the seventh-generation golf rear suspension is reduced to torsion beam non-independent suspension.This incident was suddenly detonated in the domestic market. This time, Volkswagen was forced to make a change again, changing the rear suspension of the 1.4T model into an independent suspension in the redesigned model, and this matter subsided slightly.

However, even if the suspension is changed and the DSG gearbox is improved, it is difficult for Golf 7 to reach the peak of Golf 6.

Eighth Generation Golf (2020)

On October 24, 2019, the eighth generation golf was officially released in Wolfsburg, the birthplace.. After 45 years, Volkswagen Golf has been deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and many people have their own unique feelings for it. The evolution of golf is more like a microcosm of the evolution of German industry.

Golf can be regarded as one of the most classic models.For this kind of vehicles with inheritance responsibility, shape design is particularly important.

Can’t easily make too much change, because it is still a golf; But it has to be changed, because it has attracted much attention.Therefore, if the designers want to make a breakthrough in design, they must innovate.

At the beginning of the design, Klaus Bischoff, the design director of Volkswagen brand, put forward the design of the eighth generation golf.More fluent, more sporty and more unique."requirements. Compared with the seventh-generation model, the front of Golf 8 is flatter and lower, and the new LED daytime running lights look more unique.

Digitalization "is the main design language of this generation of car interior." The interior eliminates a large number of physical buttons, and the 10.25-inch LCD instrument panel is matched with the 8.25-inch central control screen.

In addition, the automatic transmission model will cancel the mechanical shift mechanism and replace it with an electronic shift lever.The newly designed bumper is somewhat similar to the Porsche 911, but shorter and smaller in size.

In terms of power, two gasoline engines-a 1.0t three-cylinder engine and a 1.5T four-cylinder engine-will be launched soon after domestic production.

At present, the GTI model has been released overseas, and it is believed that it will be introduced into China in the near future. At the same time, the "GT" family may also introduce GTE models.

Golf is still golf, which can never be replaced by fans.

Carry out the spirit of the 20th National Congress and promote rural revitalization in all places.

CCTV News:Report to the 20th CPC National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to comprehensively promote rural revitalization, develop rural characteristic industries, and broaden the channels for farmers to increase their income and become rich. All localities have adapted to local conditions, adjusted their planting structure, and developed a variety of industries in an integrated way.

At present, it is the harvest season of Camellia oleifera. In the Camellia oleifera base in Poyang County, Jiangxi Province, heavy Camellia oleifera seeds are covered with branches, and farmers are busy picking, bagging, weighing and carrying fruits. Camellia oleifera is a unique woody oil tree species in China. Jiangxi province has 15 million mu of camellia oleifera forest, with an annual output of 170,000 tons of camellia oil, ranking second in planting area, output and output value.

Fu Haibo, Party Secretary of Cheshang Forest Farm in Yifeng County, Jiangxi Province:When I built this industry in 2019, my ideal at that time was to take it (Camellia oleifera planting) as an industry to get rid of poverty and as a model that can be promoted and replicated. So at present, it has basically achieved the expected purpose.

Local enterprises and farmers are encouraged to develop the production and management of Camellia oleifera, and various integrated development models such as "Camellia oleifera+tourism", "Camellia oleifera+catering" and "Camellia oleifera+culture" are vigorously promoted. Camellia oleifera industry has become a new engine to help farmers increase their income and revitalize rural areas in Jiangxi.

These days, in Xide County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province, vineyards in the valley area have also begun to enter the picking period. The villagers are busy picking and packing late-maturing "autumn black" grapes.

Chen Dejun, Party branch secretary of Minshan Town Democratic Village, Xide County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province:In the past, traditional farming (potatoes, etc.) earned about 500 yuan a year, but now we can earn about 30 thousand yuan a year (an acre) through the (grape) industry, which has been turned over many times.

Xide County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province was once one of the concentrated contiguous deep poverty-stricken areas in China. In the past, the income from planting potato, corn, rape and other grain and oil crops was not high. In recent years, with the support of national policies, local crops have been adjusted, such as grapes and vegetables, and olive and Chinese herbal medicines have been planted in the valley areas. In 2021, the proportion of cash crop planting area will rise to 40%, and the agricultural output value will increase significantly.

Lu Yang, deputy magistrate of Xide County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province:The fruit planting area in Xide County has reached 11,200 mu, the economic income has reached more than 40 million yuan, the vegetable planting area has reached 13,100 mu, and the total income has reached 132 million yuan. It plays a very important role in increasing farmers’ income, increasing agricultural efficiency and optimizing agricultural structure, especially laying a solid foundation for rural revitalization.

  At 6: 52 on May 14th this year, the C919 passenger plane numbered B-001J took off from the fourth runway of Shanghai Pudong Airport and landed safely at 9: 54, marking the successful completion of the first flight test of the first C919 passenger plane that China Commercial Aircraft Corporation will deliver to its first customer.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Ding Ting photo

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said that making the China big plane soar in the blue sky bears the national will, national dream and people’s expectation.

  On September 29th, the Civil Aviation Administration of China awarded the C919 type certificate to Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (hereinafter referred to as "Comac China"). From the establishment of the project in 2007 to the first flight in 2017, and then to the completion of evidence collection, it took 15 years, and the domestic large aircraft was finally allowed to engage in commercial operations and was about to soar above the blue sky.

  What are the advantages of domestic large aircraft? Why build your own large civil aircraft? Our reporter interviewed Comac China and relevant experts in civil aviation.

  Have a competitive advantage in many aspects

  — — It is not only equipped with advanced systems and materials, but also provides passengers with a more comfortable ride environment.

  On September 29th, the type certificate certification ceremony of C919 aircraft was held in Beijing Capital International Airport, which was an important milestone in the cause of China’s large aircraft, and marked that the large passenger aircraft with independent intellectual property rights developed by China in accordance with internationally accepted airworthiness standards passed the airworthiness certification. Since then, China has a single-aisle trunk airliner that can be put into operation.

  "C919 completed the evidence collection, indicating that its safety and reliability meet the requirements of airworthiness regulations." Li Xiaojin, director of civil aviation university of china Institute of Aviation Economics, told this reporter that the C919 successfully made its first flight in May 2017. During the flight test period of more than five years, six trial aircraft have completed a series of flight test missions in Yanliang, Shaanxi, Nanchang, Shandong, Pudong, and Dunhuang, Gansu, and comprehensively verified the power and electrical systems, verifying the safety and reliability of the aircraft in various extreme situations such as stall, natural icing, high temperature and extreme cold. At 6: 52 on May 14th this year, the seventh aircraft of C919 jumbo took off from Shanghai Pudong Airport and landed safely at 9: 54, marking the successful completion of the first flight test of the first C919 jumbo aircraft that China Commercial Aircraft Corporation is about to deliver to its first customer.

  Whether a civil airliner can be put into commercial operation is not decided by the manufacturer, nor by the operator, that is, the airline, but by airworthiness certification. The type certificate won this time is the ticket for large aircraft to enter the aviation market.

  After getting the admission ticket, it depends on the advantages of domestic large aircraft if they want to gain a foothold in the aviation market.

  C919 is equipped with advanced systems and advanced materials. According to Comac of China, the C919 wing design adopts supercritical airfoil design independently developed, which can reduce drag by 5%. The use of advanced materials such as Al-Li alloy and composite materials makes the structure lighter, which greatly improves the safety, economy and environmental protection of the aircraft. At the same time, it is equipped with advanced airborne systems and engines with superior performance.

  For passengers, the wide fuselage of the C919 will provide more seating space. At the same time, it adopts high-efficiency air filtration system to provide passengers with high-quality fresh air, and the cabin lighting adopts humanized scene lighting design to create a warm and considerate comfortable environment.

  The C919 is aimed at Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 series models, and adopts single-channel narrow-body layout, with 158 to 192 seats and a range of 4,075 to 5,555 kilometers. At the same time, the C919 is safe and reliable, backed by the vast China market, and has unlimited potential.

  At present, C919 has accumulated more than 800 orders from 28 customers. "Before type certificate was acquired, there were more than 800 orders, which was quite impressive. The safety, economy, comfort and other aspects of the C919 are relatively suitable for market demand, and are suitable for domestic long-distance routes and neighboring Southeast Asian international routes. " Li Xiaojin commented like this.

  An important milestone in China’s commercial aircraft manufacturing industry

  — — It is a large jet civil aircraft developed by China and with independent intellectual property rights.

  Why build a large domestic civil aircraft? Aviation manufacturing industry is known as the "flower of industry", with long industrial chain and high added value, involving hundreds of professional categories, which has high requirements for industrial capacity. Among them, the R&D and manufacturing capacity of large passenger aircraft is an important symbol of a country’s aviation manufacturing level and is also regarded as the embodiment of a country’s overall strength.

  In the past ten years, the C919 research team insisted on independent innovation and open cooperation, successively conquered a number of key technologies, formed a number of core capabilities, tempered a number of talent teams, promoted a number of industrial development, and formed a capability platform to support the independent development of China large aircraft.

  The person in charge of Comac China said that through the development of C919 large passenger aircraft, China has completed the whole process of design, manufacture, test, flight test and airworthiness certification for the first time, and has the ability to develop large passenger aircraft according to internationally accepted airworthiness standards.

  C919 adopts the mode of "main manufacturer+supplier". As the main manufacturer of domestic large aircraft, Comac China is responsible for the design and development, system integration, final assembly, airworthiness certification, customer service and marketing of C919. Comac China conducts supplier selection and management for airframe structure and airborne system equipment nationwide. The structure of C919 is designed by Comac of China, and manufactured by many domestic enterprises, with completely independent intellectual property rights. The engine is provided by CFM, a US-France joint venture company, and the avionics system is provided by Angji Avionics, a Sino-US joint venture company.

  The development of domestic large aircraft is also an important aspect to meet the dual needs of the national economy and development strategy. Li Xiaojin said: "The civil aviation industry is a national basic and strategic industry. Buying a large number of foreign aircraft makes our air transportation industry subject to people. At the same time, the price of Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 series aircraft is about $110 million to $120 million. If you buy hundreds of aircraft every year, it will cost tens of billions of dollars, which is relatively high. With the commercial operation of C919, it will accelerate the integration of upstream and downstream industries, amplify the industrial correlation effect of civil aviation and aviation manufacturing, and further improve the overall economic development quality. "

  The aviation market in China is large.

  — — In the next 20 years, China’s demand for passenger airliners is estimated to be 9,084, worth about 1.39 trillion US dollars.

  At present, Airbus and Boeing account for the bulk of the global civil aviation aircraft market with more than 100 passengers. After C919 is put into commercial operation, what impact will China large aircraft bring to civil aviation?

  — — Create new economic growth points.

  China’s civil aviation transportation industry is in a period of rapid growth, and the domestic market demand is great. The development of domestic large aircraft will better meet the needs of China’s economic development and people’s travel, and create new economic growth points.

  China Commercial Aircraft Corporation Market Forecast Annual Report (2021— 2040) predicts that in the next 20 years, more than 41,429 new aircraft will be delivered worldwide, with a value of about 6.1 trillion US dollars (based on the 2020 catalogue price). China aviation market will receive 9,084 new aircraft, with a value of about 1.39 trillion US dollars (based on the catalogue price in 2020). Among the newly accepted aircraft in China aviation market, the number of narrow-body passenger aircraft will reach 6,295. As the mainstream aircraft in the civil aviation transportation market, narrow-body passenger aircraft account for about 80% of China’s civil aviation fleet and 70% of the global fleet.

  — — Promote the upgrading and development of the industrial chain.

  C919 is the take-off work of China’s large civil aircraft industry, and the aviation manufacturing industry chain driven by C919 has great potential. It is expected that it will drive group breakthroughs in new materials, modern manufacturing, advanced power, electronic information, automatic control, computers and other fields, and will also enable aviation high-end raw materials, subsystems and parts manufacturers to achieve performance growth. At present, more than 20 provinces, more than 1,000 enterprises and institutions and nearly 300,000 people have participated in the research and development.

  Taking materials as an example, the application of new materials is an important aspect of the development and progress of aviation technology. The manufacturing of large civil aircraft involves composite materials, titanium alloys, high-strength steel, etc. The development of C919, and a variety of new materials are applied to civil aircraft on a large scale for the first time, which not only leads to a breakthrough in material technology, but also brings great demand to the material industry.

  The successful development of C919 will provide more choices for airlines and customers, more opportunities for suppliers and partners, and further stimulate the healthy competition and innovation vitality of the global commercial aircraft industry.

  The airworthiness certification is only the first step for C919 to be put into operation, and the subsequent industrialization will take a long time. Li Xiaojin said: "According to public data, there are about 50,000 transport aircraft in operation around the world, of which Boeing and Airbus each account for about 45%. In the future, C919 should also strive for the european aviation safety agency airworthiness certificate and the US Federal Aviation Administration airworthiness certificate in order to put it into commercial operation in more countries. " He said that there is still a gap between China and the world-class level in aero-engine manufacturing and avionics system design. Compared with automobile and other industries, the aviation manufacturing industry has the characteristics of high technology added value and low labor intensity, and there are certain technical barriers. The technology in many sub-sectors of the industrial chain still needs to achieve a breakthrough from 0 to 1.

  Slow and steady, with unlimited potential, China Big Aircraft will write more wonderful stories.

  With the steady growth of residents’ income, tax reduction and fee reduction and the gradual effectiveness of policies to promote consumption, residents’ consumption demand will be further released, the trend of consumption transformation and upgrading will continue, and the consumer market is expected to continue to grow steadily on the whole.

  The overall price operation was stable, and the production field rose slightly.

  Zhao Maohong, Director of Urban Department of National Bureau of Statistics

  Since the beginning of this year, in the case of abundant supply, the price in the consumer sector has risen moderately, the price in the production sector has risen slightly, and the national price operation has been generally stable.

  First, the price increase in the consumer sector is moderate.

  In the first quarter, the national CPI (Consumer Price Index) rose by 1.8% compared with the same period of last year, and the growth rate dropped by 0.3 percentage points compared with the same period of last year. From the ring comparison, affected by holiday factors, CPI increased by 0.5% and 1.0% in January and February respectively, and decreased by 0.4% in March after the holiday; From a year-on-year perspective, the CPI rose by 1.7%, 1.5% and 2.3% from January to March, respectively, and the fluctuation of the increase was mainly affected by changes in food prices. The monthly core CPI excluding food and energy prices is 1.9%, 1.8% and 1.8% respectively, with a moderate and stable increase.

  The increase in food prices slightly expanded. In the first quarter, food prices rose by 2.2%, an increase of 0.2 percentage points over the same period of last year, which affected the CPI increase by about 0.45 percentage points.

  The increase of non-food prices declined. In the first quarter, non-food prices rose by 1.7%, which was 0.5 percentage points lower than the same period of last year, affecting the CPI increase by about 1.39 percentage points.

  Second, prices in the production sector rose slightly.

  The increase in PPI dropped significantly. In the first quarter, the national PPI (ex-factory price index of industrial producers) rose by 0.2% year-on-year, down by 3.5 percentage points compared with the same period of last year and down by 2.1 percentage points compared with the fourth quarter of last year. Among them, the price of means of production changed from 4.9% in the same period last year to flat, which was the main reason for the decline in PPI growth.

  The prices of most industrial sectors are generally stable. In the first quarter, among the 40 major industries surveyed, the ex-factory prices rose in 29, remained flat in 2 and fell in 9. In most industries, the ex-factory price changes slightly, and in 28 industries, the ex-factory price changes between 2.0%.

  The ex-factory price of the equipment manufacturing industry is generally stable. Among them, the ex-factory price of general equipment manufacturing rose by 0.9%, the ex-factory price of special equipment manufacturing rose by 0.5%, and the ex-factory price of computer, communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing rose by 0.2%; The ex-factory prices of railways, ships, aerospace and other transportation equipment manufacturing industries are flat.

  The prices of some means of production have risen. In the first quarter, the international crude oil price rebounded, and the low temperature in some areas led to an increase in heating demand, and the price of energy products rose. Affected by the Spring Festival, from January to February, the market demand for steel and non-ferrous metals was weak and the prices fell. In March, with the concentrated construction of post-holiday infrastructure projects, the demand for steel and non-ferrous metals increased, and the prices of related products went up.

  The employment situation is basically stable, and the market supply and demand are stable and orderly.

  Meng Canwen, Deputy Director of the Department of Population and Employment Statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics

  In the first quarter, affected by the downward pressure of the economy and the Spring Festival, the national urban survey unemployment rose first and then fell. With the continuous efforts of the employment priority policy and a series of measures to stabilize and promote employment, the employment situation in China has remained stable as a whole.

  First, the national urban survey unemployment rose first and then fell.

  In the first three months of this year, the national urban survey unemployment rate was 5.1%, 5.3% and 5.2%, respectively, up by 0.1, 0.3 and 0.1 percentage points compared with the same period of last year. Although it rose in February, it fell back in March, and the average monthly rate was lower than the expected target of 5.5%. In January and February, the unemployment rate rose due to the combined influence of economic downward pressure and Spring Festival factors. In March, with the decline of seasonal factors, the weather turned warmer after the holiday, enterprises resumed work, the demand for employment increased, and the proportion of temporary unemployed people who closed down seasonally dropped significantly. By age, the unemployment rate of the main working-age population aged 25 to 59 was below 5% in the first quarter, and the employment situation remained stable as a whole.

  Second, the demand for employment in enterprises is stable

  The employment demand of enterprises is generally stable. The key survey on the employment of manufacturing enterprises conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics in six eastern provinces in March shows that enterprises have returned to work well after the Spring Festival, with a return rate of over 90%, and the demand of some enterprises has increased compared with the same period last year.

  According to the monthly labor force survey data, the average weekly working hours of employees in enterprises in March were 46.0 hours, an increase of 1.1 hours over the previous month and 0.3 hours over the same period last year. The average weekly working hours of all types of enterprises have increased compared with February, and the average weekly working hours of employees in private enterprises have increased by 1.4 hours compared with last month.

  Third, the supply and demand of the human resources market are basically stable.

  According to the data of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, from January to March, 3.24 million people were newly employed in cities and towns, achieving the annual target of 29.5%, 1.17 million unemployed people in cities and towns were re-employed, and 390,000 people with employment difficulties were employed, all of which maintained a high level. In the first quarter, the recruitment ratio of the national human resources market was 1.28, up 0.5 percentage points year-on-year and 0.1 percentage points quarter-on-quarter. The number of recruitment positions was greater than the number of job seekers, and the supply and demand of the human resources market were basically stable.

  For the first time, the Government Work Report takes the employment priority policy as a macro-control tool, strengthens all aspects to attach importance to employment and support employment orientation, and successively introduces tax relief policies such as reducing the VAT rate and social insurance rate, greatly reducing the business cost of enterprises, fully supporting enterprises to absorb employment, making precise policies for key employment groups, striving to promote employment and entrepreneurship, and ensuring that the employment situation in China remains stable.

  The income gap is shrinking, and consumer spending is increasing steadily.

  Wang Youfen, Director of Household Survey Office of National Bureau of Statistics.

  In the first quarter, the national income continued to grow, keeping pace with the economic growth, showing a trend slightly faster than the economic growth. The income growth of rural residents continues to be faster than that of urban residents, and the income gap between urban and rural residents continues to narrow. Residents’ consumption expenditure grew steadily, while service consumption expenditure grew rapidly.

  First, residents’ income and economic growth are basically synchronized.

  In the first quarter, the per capita disposable income of the national residents was 8493 yuan, a nominal increase of 8.7% over the same period of last year. After deducting the price factor, the actual growth rate was 6.8%, which was 0.4 percentage points faster than the GDP growth rate.

  The income gap between urban and rural residents continues to narrow. In the first quarter, the per capita disposable income of urban residents was 11,633 yuan, an increase of 7.9% (unless otherwise specified), and a real increase of 5.9% after deducting the price factor; The per capita disposable income of rural residents was 4,600 yuan, an increase of 8.8%. After deducting the price factor, the real increase was 6.9%. The actual growth rate of per capita disposable income of rural residents is 1.0 percentage points faster than that of urban residents, and the income gap between urban and rural residents continues to narrow.

  Wages and transfer income increased steadily, and income from operation and property increased rapidly. In the first quarter, the per capita wage income of the national residents was 4,838 yuan, an increase of 8.7%; The per capita net operating income of the national residents was 1,486 yuan, an increase of 8.3%; The per capita net income of national residents was 721 yuan, an increase of 12.2%, and the growth rate was 1.9 percentage points faster than the same period of last year; The per capita net transfer income of national residents was 1,449 yuan, an increase of 7.3%.

  Second, the consumption expenditure of residents grew steadily.

  In the first quarter, the per capita consumption expenditure of the national residents was 5538 yuan, a nominal increase of 7.3% over the same period of last year, and a real increase of 5.4% after deducting the price factor.

After deducting the price factor, the actual increase was 6.8%. The actual growth rate of per capita consumption expenditure of rural residents is 2.7 percentage points faster than that of urban residents.

  Service consumption expenditure increased rapidly. In the first quarter, the per capita service consumption expenditure of the national residents was 2,329 yuan, an increase of 11.9%, which was faster than the growth rate of per capita consumption expenditure by 4.6 percentage points. Among them, the per capita expenditure on catering services increased by 18.6%; The per capita medical service expenditure increased by 15.7%, mainly due to the further improvement of medical insurance financial subsidy standard, the further expansion of reimbursement drug list, and the convenience of direct settlement of medical treatment in different places. The per capita education expenditure increased by 35.8%, mainly due to the late Spring Festival last year, the delay in the start of school, and the lag of some education expenses, which led to the low number of base periods in the first quarter, thus the education expenditure increased rapidly.

Consumer sympathy borrows misery to increase powder and then broadcast live with goods. When will online celebrity sell misery and drain?

  Investigation motive

  "I still can’t figure out why I will be diagnosed with liver cancer." Recently, a online celebrity blogger posted a video of 7 minutes and 52 seconds on social platforms, claiming that he was only 25 years old and was diagnosed with liver cancer. In the video, he introduced in detail the information such as "liver cancer was detected during physical examination" and "the doctor told me that the chance of cure is not great". Once the video was released, related topics quickly rushed to the hot search list.

  However, just as everyone expressed their regret and concern and encouraged him to "treat him well", things turned upside down — — Some netizens noticed the last flash of the video, and the subtitle showed that "the content of this video is purely fictitious". This made many netizens extremely angry, denouncing it as the traffic has no bottom line, and some netizens said, "Do you know that I saw my last mood as a patient with cancer?"

  Finally, the online celebrity blogger made an apology. At present, the blogger has violated the platform community convention, and his account has been banned in stages, banned from being concerned, and suspended from advertising revenue.

  On the network platform, how many people sell miserable drainage like the above-mentioned online celebrity bloggers? How to rectify the unscrupulous drainage behavior? The reporter conducted an investigation and interview for this purpose.

  □ Our reporter Han Dandong

  □ Intern of this newspaper Wang Yitian

  "From sympathy to anger, it’s like riding an emotional roller coaster." A netizen commented on "online celebrity bloggers sent videos claiming to be diagnosed with liver cancer". Many netizens said that online celebrity’s explanation that "my initial intention in doing this issue was to attract people’s attention to my body" was unacceptable, saying that there was no need to find some high-sounding reasons.

  "Just to drain." An industry insider who is engaged in online celebrity incubation recently said in an interview with the reporter of Rule of Law Daily that if it is really for the purpose of prompting health, it should be made clear at the beginning, but the blogger in online celebrity chose to mention "The content of this video is pure fiction" at the end of the video, and it was not explained in the copy.

  The insider told reporters that in reality, some network anchors and bloggers use the sympathy and empathy of netizens to achieve rapid drainage and powder increase in a miserable way, and then realize cash. There are even some institutions that specialize in incubating this "man-made" online celebrity, and then make profits by receiving advertisements, setting up commodity purchase links, and live broadcasting with goods.

  In fact, from the effect point of view, the above-mentioned online celebrity bloggers’ miserable selling videos have indeed achieved the purpose of drainage. In just one day, the blogger’s fans have reached more than 5.5 million, and the related videos have played more than 20 million, while his previous videos have played more than 3 million.

  A number of interviewed experts said that behaviors such as selling miserable drainage, consuming sympathy, and taking advantage of suffering to make money have emerged in an endless stream on the online platform. The fabricated selling miserable "people set up" can’t stand the test, which violates social public order and good customs, and also violates relevant laws and network norms. Making profits by fabricating stories may also constitute criminal crimes such as fraud, and it is necessary to intensify the rectification of such chaos.

  First, the auction was badly drained.

  Then live broadcast with goods for profit.

  "I failed to start a business for four years, and I will cancel my company tomorrow, and millions of people will hit Shui Piao." "I suddenly encountered family changes, and now I have cancer, and now I am heavily in debt." "Please help me, I just turned 20, and I was diagnosed with cancer." "My parents died when I was a child, and I dropped out of school to work at the age of 14" … …

  The reporter noticed that at present, there are still many anchors and bloggers telling their sufferings to the camera on major short video platforms. Some people are dressed in rags, some people are sweating with manual labor, and some people are crying. These short videos can often arouse the sympathy of a large number of netizens, with a high number of hits, and the number of fans of anchors and bloggers is also growing rapidly.

  For example, a blogger on a certain platform, whose previous works were mainly videos of major talent markets and recruitment markets, had only a few thousand broadcasts. Then, after releasing the video that I failed to start my own business and found out that I was suffering from oral cancer, the broadcast volume rose rapidly, exceeding 2 million.

  It’s really hard to tell whether these videos are true or not. Some netizens left a message under these videos: I was touched, I hope I am not spending sympathy. Some netizens suddenly realized after seeing the blogger start live broadcast with the goods: so that’s it.

  The reporter combed and found that it is not uncommon for fictional facts to sell miserably and then realize the realization of goods.

  In a video, the protagonist is a white-haired old man with dark skin and wrinkled face. His hands are trembling and folded on his chest, and he choked and said, "I am 80 years old. What should I do if pomegranate can’t be sold?" The copy of the video is "This grandfather asked me to help him sell pomegranate, but I can’t sell it for 3 kg and 9.9 packages"; In another video, the same dubbing, sad music, a vicissitudes of life of the old man carrying two buckets of water staggered past, behind a pomegranate tree.

  After verification, the above two videos were all posed. The pomegranate in the former old man’s house was sold out at that time, and the old man who carried water didn’t grow pomegranate at home. Facing the door-to-door law enforcement officers, video publisher Qiu Moumou said that this is to gain sympathy and attract attention to sell goods. Finally, law enforcement officers criticized and educated Qiu Moumou, and Qiu Moumou also expressed remorse for publishing false videos.

  What’s more, under the banner of "helping the poor", through fictional life scenes, exaggerating and fictional poverty can achieve the purpose of attracting eyeballs and attracting fans, so as to live broadcast goods for profit. In 2021, the police in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province disclosed such a case: The "Korean Team" fictionalized the miserable life experience of Ajia, a little girl in Liangshan, who had no father or mother and could not afford to go to school, and then sold the apples produced by poor villagers. The so-called self-produced apples are all wholesale in the market.

  In the end, members of the "Korean Team" were given administrative punishment, and the planner Zhao Moumou was administratively detained for 7 days according to law.

  There are also bloggers who released videos that sold badly and defrauded money after gaining sympathy from fans, and were finally sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment for fraud.

  Remediation of selling misery and draining chaos

  Punish according to law and contract

  According to Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, online celebrity belongs to the category of public figures. Judging from some court decisions, the personality rights of public figures are restricted to some extent. online celebrity has a large number of fans, and his expression should bear a higher duty of care than ordinary people, which comes from both the moral level and the legal level.

  "In today’s developed network communication, some online celebrity have millions of fans, and the benefits of a live broadcast are very considerable. Online celebrity’s words and deeds may cause netizens to imitate, discuss and discuss, so he must bear the social responsibility that matches it and need to be bound by higher moral standards. " Zhu Jie, a senior partner of Taihetai (Chongqing) Law Firm, believes that bloggers and anchors in online celebrity have a wide audience, and it is easy to cause social controversy and disrupt public order by fabricating stories of selling tragedies and spreading rumors.

  In Zhu Jie’s view, deceiving netizens through false information and gaining sympathy to get high traffic is essentially that online celebrity gains benefits through deception, which should be given a negative moral and legal evaluation and punished in various ways. If online celebrity obtains donations and rewards from netizens by fabricating false information, it is suspected of fraud.

  In order to rectify the chaos of selling and draining, the relevant departments are taking active actions.

  In March of this year, the Central Network Information Office launched a two-month "Clear and Strict Renovation ‘ Since the media ’ Chaos "special action, focusing on social, short videos, webcasts and other types of key platforms, resolutely crack down on outstanding problems such as" self-media "rumors, counterfeiting, illegal profits, and strictly deal with them to create a clear cyberspace. It is mentioned that strict rectification of "self-media" uses vulnerable groups to realize traffic, including cajoling, luring the elderly to shoot videos, setting up live broadcasts, and defrauding netizens to like, reward and donate; Deceive and seduce disabled people, and gain traffic through illegal and immoral ways such as selling badly, spoofing and abusing.

  On March 28th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on the "Clear and Clear" series of special actions in 2023. Niu Yibing, deputy director of the National Internet Information Office, responded to the problem of content-oriented governance of short videos at the meeting, pointing out that "comprehensively cleaning up short videos that are misdirected and mislead the public by forging scenes, compiling details and fictional experiences" is one of the main contents of this special action.

  A staff member of a short video platform told the reporter that for all kinds of illegal videos or live broadcasts such as "sex, ugliness, strangeness, falsehood, vulgarity and gambling", the platform will comprehensively investigate and clean up the anchors and guilds suspected of the above behaviors, and give the following penalties according to the actual behavior severity, subjective malice and impact of the anchors:

  Give warning and stop broadcasting punishment for the first violation, and educate and control it; For the second time, the right to live broadcast was recovered for 7 days in violation of regulations, and it was required to pass the online examination and training, and the broadcast was resumed after the examination passed; For the third time, the right to live broadcast was illegally recovered for 30 days, and it was required to receive offline training and education. After passing the exam, it resumed broadcasting and asked it to publicly release the self-discipline announcement video; For those who repeatedly violate the norms for more than four times and cause adverse social impacts, the live broadcast rights will be recovered indefinitely and publicized, and the relevant guilds will be warned to publicize, freeze their rights until they are retired, and at the same time, they will be reported to the higher authorities as the case may be.

  The staff member said that for anchors and guilds with serious violations or involving illegal and criminal acts, the platform will take the initiative to report the industry blacklist and report the relevant information to the public security and other relevant departments.

  However, experts pointed out that for some videos that sell miserably, if there is no obvious violation of the law, the relevant anchors may have to repeatedly violate the rules before they can be completely removed from the platform. If they are not reported, the platform may find it difficult to take the initiative in time. Compared with the flooding degree of such videos and online celebrity’s huge profits, the punishment is obviously weak.

  Establish a joint disciplinary system

  Promote platform public co-governance

  Zhu Jie believes that platform supervision and public opinion supervision are the key to rectify this kind of chaos. The network platform should fulfill the main responsibility of information content management, and take ecological management, real-time inspection and timely disposal of network information. If it is found that the behavior of selling miserable drainage is found, the platform can ban it, and if the circumstances are serious, the live broadcast room will be banned and it is forbidden to start broadcasting again.

  "Webcast platforms should strengthen supervision and punishment measures, especially for online celebrity bloggers who have been banned. Major live short video platforms need to reach a consensus and join hands to resist. In addition, complaints and reports can be set up in a prominent position, and netizens can report such anchors and bloggers to realize the network ecology of the platform and the public. " Zhu Jie said.

  Han Xinhua, an associate professor in the Department of Law of the School of Cultural Industry Management of China Communication University and director of the Teaching and Research Section of Cultural Rule of Law, believes that at present, the platform mainly manages itself according to the community code and user agreement, and takes disciplinary measures to users who violate the rules, such as restricting their functions, stopping their work and banning them, according to the severity. Law enforcement agencies that constitute illegal crimes will impose penalties. The punishment of a single platform is not enough, and it is necessary to form a joint force.

  Zhu Wei suggested that joint punishment and classified management of credit should be carried out, and the credit of online celebrity, who fabricated false facts and violated moral laws, should be downgraded to a certain extent or seriously violated the rules to a certain extent, and should be given a title. Secondly, the actual users, account owners, registrants and MCN institutions behind online celebrity account should bear relevant responsibilities.

  "The responsibility of the platform should be increased. For videos with hot spots, high clicks and high replies, the platform should strengthen the review before pushing it to a higher hot spot, and the platform algorithm should also strengthen supervision. If the works in the platform are hot, the platform should bear greater responsibility. If there is a problem, the platform should jointly punish the actual users, account owners, registrants and MCN institutions behind this account." Zhu Wei said.

  Han Xinhua believes that brokerage institutions and trade associations should play more roles. Brokerage agencies and contracted anchors are a community of interests, so they should regularly train their contracted network anchors in communication ethics, policies and laws, and conduct daily supervision and guidance on their behavior.

  In addition, Zhu Jie also mentioned that administrative law enforcement departments can impose administrative penalties such as fines, detention and revocation of business licenses on online celebrity and related institutions, or unify the market "white list" access standards. "The lure of interest brought by the huge traffic has led some online celebrity to make great efforts to do something appalling and make up stories to gain attention. Relevant departments should give positive guidance to this disorderly pursuit of interests and investigate and deal with violations of laws and regulations in a timely manner. "

  Chen Zhongyue, Chairman of the Board of Directors, said that the company firmly fulfilled its two main responsibilities of being a network powerhouse and a digital China, focusing on two main businesses: networking communication and computing the network and being intelligent. With the increasingly perfect coverage of 5G network, the company’s investment focus has shifted from the stable networking communication business to the high-growth network computing and intelligence business. In 2023, the capital expenditure decreased year-on-year, and the network investment has already turned to an inflection point.

  Give consideration to scale increaseValue enhancement, many businesses have developed well.

  Chen Zhongyue said that in 2023, the strategic system will continue to deepen, and the current operation and long-term development will be actively coordinated, focusing on the two main businesses of networked communication and network computing and intelligence, so as to achieve effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity.

  Performance data shows that,In addition to both business and profit growth, the return on net assets reached 5.4%, achieving the best level in recent years; The annual dividend was 0.3366 yuan per share, up 22.8% year-on-year, significantly higher than the basic earnings per share of 11.8%.

  The revenue of networked communication business reached 244.6 billion yuan, including mobile networking, broadband networking, TV networking, private line networking, communication business and information business, and the revenue scale reached three quarters of the total revenue of the main business. The scale of networked communication users exceeded 1 billion, and the scale of mobile users reached 333 million, including a net increase of 10.6 million in 2023, and the penetration rate of 5G package users reached 78%, up 12% year-on-year.

Unicom Cloud realized revenue of RMB 51 billion, up 41.6% year-on-year.

  In accelerating the construction of digital information infrastructure, the coverage level of mobile networks has been continuously improved, with more than 1.21 million 5G IF base stations and 680,000 900M base stations. In response to the "double carbon" policy, in 2023, it will save about 39 billion yuan in operating expenses, reduce carbon emissions by about 11.5 million tons, and save about 340 billion yuan in capital expenditure.

  Focusing on the main business, innovating and developing the industry is still in a good development period.

  At the press conference, China Unicom made it clear for the first time that networking communication and computing network intelligence are the two main businesses of the company.

  Chen Zhongyue said that taking these two items as the main business has fully considered the development reality of the company and the development trend of the industry. They are complementary and mutually conditional. Digital business is an important engine for the development of networked business, and networked business is an important foundation for the development of digital business. Both are basic businesses, and both need innovation and development.

  Facing the wave of digitalization, intelligence and greening, China Unicom expressed its active embrace.To speed up the construction of new quality productive forces, we should start from three aspects: First, we should lay out strategic priorities, formulate an overall development plan, and systematically lay out intelligent computing services, research and development of large models, high-quality data sets, security and applications. The company has also set up an innovation center to gather high-level talents and strive to build artificial intelligence into an important engine for the company’s high-quality development.

  The second is the key capacity building, which is mainly reflected in computing services and large models. In terms of providing specialized computing infrastructure services, a "1+N+X" computing capacity system has been laid out, including a single ultra-large-scale computing center, n computing hubs for training and reasoning, and x data-based computing and reasoning nodes.

  The third is the key exploration of application, focusing on the big model of the industry. At present, phased results have been achieved in the internal scenes of online customer service, as well as industry-oriented government affairs, industry, clothing and other fields.

  Speaking of capital expenditure, Chen Zhongyue said that in the first five years since entering the 5G construction cycle, the annual capital expenditure has continued to grow, but it has declined in 2023, reflecting that the network investment has turned to an inflection point. It is estimated that the capital expenditure in 2024 will be reduced by 12% on the basis of 73.9 billion yuan last year.

  For the future development, Chen Zhongyue believes that the communication industry is still in a good development period, and China Unicom will help enterprises to step up through a series of strategies to strengthen enterprises, including strengthening enterprises through science and technology, talents, reform, intelligence and brand.

Brand is strong and agriculture is promising (Economic Daily, 10th edition, November 22nd)

  Agricultural brand is an important symbol of agricultural and rural modernization, and cultivating and developing agricultural brand is an important starting point for comprehensively promoting rural revitalization and accelerating the construction of an agricultural power. In 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the "Excellent Agricultural Brand Cultivation Plan (2022-2025)", which defined the objectives, tasks and measures for strengthening agricultural brands. In 2023, the No.1 Document of the Central Committee proposed to support poverty-stricken areas to build regional public brands. In this issue, invited experts will discuss issues related to brand strengthening agriculture.

  Actively cultivate agricultural brands

  What is the current development of agricultural brands in China?

  Hu Glacier (Director and Researcher, Agricultural Products Trade and Policy Research Office, Institute of Rural Development, China Academy of Social Sciences): Agricultural brand building is an important measure to promote the high-quality development of agriculture. Cultivating and developing agricultural brands is conducive to improving the modernization level of the whole agricultural industry chain, guiding the gathering of high-quality resources, and promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, which is an important way to increase farmers’ income and enhance agricultural competitiveness.

  In recent years, the state has issued a series of policies and measures around building agricultural brands. In 2022, the No.1 Document of the Central Committee proposed to carry out the actions of improving agricultural varieties, improving quality, building brands and improving standardized production. In 2023, the No.1 Document of the Central Committee proposed to support poverty-stricken areas to build regional public brands. In April this year, the General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the "Implementation Plan for Supporting Poverty-stricken Areas to Build Regional Public Brands (2023-2025)", emphasizing the efforts to build regional public brands in poverty-stricken areas and promoting the effective connection between consolidating and expanding poverty-stricken achievements and rural revitalization.

  All localities actively cultivate agricultural brands in light of their own reality. For example, Heilongjiang Province, as a major agricultural province, has made great efforts to build a provincial-level high-quality agricultural brand with "excellent black soil", build a "1141" agricultural brand system and build a life-cycle agricultural brand management mechanism. In order to strengthen the construction of agricultural brands and establish and improve the mechanism of cultivation, development and protection of agricultural brands, Hainan Province has promoted the establishment of an agricultural brand catalogue system.

  Agricultural brands have achieved practical results in promoting the quality and efficiency of agricultural industries. According to estimates, compared with 2012, in 2022, the output of public brand agricultural products in China agricultural brand catalogue area increased by nearly 55%, and the sales increased by nearly 80%, driving the income of local farmers to increase by 65%. From the current development of agricultural brands in China, it has the following characteristics.

  First, regional public brands, corporate brands and product brands have developed rapidly. According to the data of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in recent years, agricultural and rural departments at all levels have further promoted brand strengthening agriculture and cultivated a number of influential agricultural brands. By the end of 2021, about 3,000 regional public brands, 5,100 enterprise brands and 6,500 product brands have been cultivated by provincial agricultural and rural departments. According to relevant reports, Wuchang Rice, as a regional public brand, has a brand value of 71.31 billion yuan in 2023.

  Second, the cultivation of agricultural brand products and brand assistance have achieved results. The "Excellent Agricultural Brand Cultivation Plan (2022-2025)" proposes that by 2025, we will focus on grain and oil, fruits and vegetables, tea, animal husbandry, aquatic products and other categories, build a number of regional public brands of agricultural products with excellent quality, distinctive features, strong driving force, high reputation and consumer loyalty, and cultivate and promote a number of enterprise brands and high-quality features with excellent products, good reputation, obvious industrial driving effect and core competitiveness. In 2022, 75 brands including Wuchang Rice, Enshi Potato, Luochuan Apple, Wenchang Chicken and jinxiang garlic were included in the agricultural brand quality cultivation plan, and 69 brands were included this year. In terms of agricultural brand assistance in poverty-stricken areas, by the end of 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs had taken the lead in helping 20 key counties, and the average premium of branded agricultural products in poverty-stricken areas exceeded 20%.

  Third, the variety, quality and brand of agricultural products are integrated with each other. In the process of agricultural and rural economic development, the rapid growth of corporate brands has brought about market segmentation, which often reflects the quality differences in the early days. In recent years, with the continuous emergence of new crop varieties, the protection of intellectual property rights has gradually increased, and more and more new varieties are deeply bound to brands. For example, in 2022, many new corn varieties such as "Denghai 2035", "Denghai 2052" and "Denghai 2056" independently developed by Denghai Seed Industry passed the examination and approval, and "Denghai" became the brand prefix of crop varieties.

  Fourth, the ability of brand marketing and promotion has been improved, and the speed of brand renewal has been greatly accelerated. With the help of the Internet, agricultural brands promote consumer reach and sales through digital marketing. With the help of well-known exhibitions and other platforms at home and abroad, the promotion efforts have been intensified, and various channels such as video and live broadcast have been used to enhance the communication power. High-quality agricultural products have been sought after more and more, and new agricultural brands have begun to emerge, including many emerging, innovative and differentiated agricultural brands. For example, Xuwen pineapple, fire crystal persimmon and other high-quality agricultural products quickly became popular. Cultivating agricultural brands needs to consider long-term value, which also requires building a comprehensive brand development strategy.

  Fifth, the brand participation of consumers continues to increase. In the traditional sense, consumers’ contribution and participation to the brand depends on factors such as culture and habits. However, with the development of mobile Internet, more and more consumers’ feedback has been absorbed into the cultivation and development of agricultural brands. The relationship between agricultural brand cultivation and consumer feedback is getting closer and closer. Some consumers directly send the design drawings of product packaging and brand to manufacturers through short videos, and some consumers participate in brand promotion through media.

  We should also see that at present, there are still many problems in China’s agricultural brands, such as excessive but not refined, large but not strong, and brand influence needs to be improved, which is also the focus of brand promotion in the future. With the improvement of the level of economic and social development, more and more excellent agricultural brands will come to the fore, constantly meeting the people’s growing needs for a better life.

  Help improve agricultural quality and increase farmers’ income

  What is the role of agricultural brands in promoting agricultural quality and efficiency and increasing farmers’ income?

  Liu Naiyong (researcher, National Agricultural Market Research Center, China Agricultural University): In recent years, China’s agricultural brands have mushroomed, which not only allows consumers to enjoy more high-quality agricultural products, but also plays a significant role in promoting the high-quality development of agricultural industries and increasing farmers’ income.

  First of all, agricultural brand building has promoted the development of agricultural industry standardization. Agricultural products have natural non-standardized characteristics, and coupled with a series of processes such as cleaning, sorting, packaging, warehousing and logistics, it is difficult for agricultural products to maintain stable quality and consumption experience. Cultivating and developing agricultural brands has enabled many new agricultural operators to embark on the road of standardized production, and through modern industry and digital technology, the whole process of agricultural products from field to table has been standardized. In the process of brand building, agricultural business entities promote the whole agricultural industry to form a more mature division of labor system, optimize the efficiency of industrial factor input allocation, and greatly improve the total factor productivity of agricultural industry. For example, wuchang city, Heilongjiang Province, following the development idea of "building a brand, bringing vitality to an industry and enriching farmers", built a regional public brand of Wuchang rice, comprehensively promoted the standardized production of Wuchang rice, standardized all the processes and procedures such as seed, planting, storage, processing, environment and traceability management, established and improved the whole process standard system from field to table, and promoted the high-quality development of Wuchang rice, with an output value of about 16 billion yuan in 2021. Zhashui County, Shaanxi Province actively builds a regional public brand of auricularia auricula, cultivates a number of auricularia auricula strains unique to Zhashui, promulgates local standards in Shaanxi Province, establishes a technical service system for enterprise demonstration planting and the whole process of auricularia auricula industry, implements the standard awareness rate and reaches 100%, and promotes the transformation of auricularia auricula from relying on traditional experience to modern standardized production, achieving annual cultivation of about 100 million bags of auricularia auricula and production of about 5,000 tons of dried auricula, effectively driving farmers to increase their income.

  Secondly, agricultural brands communicate both ends of supply and demand, which promotes the adjustment and upgrading of agricultural industrial structure. By creating agricultural brands, the differentiated characteristics of agricultural products such as physical geography, production process, technology and product quality are passed on to consumers, and agricultural brands become a "bridge" for communication between producers and consumers. At the same time, in the process of cultivating and developing agricultural brands, changes in the consumer market are constantly fed back to agricultural business entities, promoting the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure. For example, Qingcaitou was originally a traditional planting variety in Fuling District, Chongqing, and pickled mustard tuber with it was a snack for people on both sides of the Yangtze River. With the fast pace of people’s life, the consumption demand of simple fast food, business trip and accompanying dishes is expanding rapidly. Grasping the opportunity of changing consumer demand, Fuling District has made great efforts to build a regional public brand of Fuling mustard tuber. While adhering to the traditional production techniques, it has continued to develop and promote excellent varieties with high yield and disease resistance and suitable for harvesting machines, keeping up with market development and demand, innovating product research and development, and building a brand matrix. Today, Fuling mustard tuber has become a pillar industry with an annual output value of more than 13 billion yuan. Traditional production techniques have been listed in the national intangible cultural heritage list. The products are sold all over the country and exported to Japan, Australia, the United States and other countries and regions.

  Thirdly, the creation of agricultural brands has promoted the upgrading of industries with traditional characteristics and advantages, and helped rural revitalization and farmers’ income increase. At present, China’s consumer demand has changed from focusing on quantity growth to pursuing quality life, and the development of agricultural industry has also paid more attention to improving quality and efficiency. Developing agricultural brands can effectively promote the upgrading of industries with traditional characteristics and advantages, and help revitalize rural industries and enrich the people and strengthen agriculture. For example, xuwen county is the largest pineapple producing area in China, accounting for more than one third of the country’s pineapple planting area. With the increasing variety of fruits, xuwen county has built Xuwen pineapple regional public brand, promoted excellent varieties of pineapple, issued regional public brand logos, established pineapple buyers’ alliance, vigorously organized the docking of production and marketing, and promoted Xuwen pineapple sales growth. The industrial output value climbed from 980 million yuan in 2018 to about 2.5 billion yuan in 2022, which led to about 50,000 farmers. There are many industries with traditional advantages like Xuwen pineapple in China, and brand building is a powerful means and an effective path to promote its upgrading, help rural industries revitalize and realize enriching the people and strengthening agriculture.

  "internet plus" promotes brand building

  What are the practices of cultivating and developing agricultural brands in China in e-commerce marketing and digital empowerment?

  Qi Yunlan (Research Fellow, Institute of Market Economy, the State Council Development Research Center): In recent years, all localities have attached great importance to the cultivation and development of agricultural brands, and used various marketing methods such as the Internet, e-commerce and new media to publicize agricultural brands, expand marketing channels of agricultural products, empower agricultural fields with digital technology, and enhance the level of agricultural modernization and promote the construction of agricultural brands through digitalization, networking and intelligence.

  The first is to introduce an e-commerce platform to help build a high-quality agricultural brand. From a national perspective, many villages and towns based on the advantages of local resources, by introducing e-commerce platforms such as Tmall and JD.COM, cultivate e-commerce talents, open up channels for production and marketing, and improve the scale and standardization level of production and sales of advantageous agriculture, so that one village (or several villages) can own a brand product or brand industry with great market potential, obvious regional characteristics and high added value. Moreover, the scale of some village-level dominant brand agricultural products has gradually expanded to towns and even counties, forming dominant industrial clusters with brand influence, and the brand development effect and spillover effect are remarkable. Taking changge city as an example, e-commerce has become an important starting point to promote the innovation and development of brand agriculture. Twenty well-known e-commerce platforms, such as Alibaba International Station, Tmall, AliExpress and JD.COM, were introduced locally, and more than 20,000 online stores were opened. In 2022, e-commerce transactions reached 16.7 billion yuan.

  The second is to strengthen the introduction and cultivation of e-commerce talents, widely use new media marketing methods such as live broadcast and short video, publicize and promote agricultural brands, and expand agricultural product marketing channels. From the practice of various places, great efforts have been made to strengthen the training and introduction of e-commerce talents and enrich product connotations and scenarios. Many local governments, together with industry associations, have organized training to explain the contents of "prospering agriculture through several businesses", live broadcasting with goods, brand building, etc., and trained a group of "new farmers" who have mastered the operation ability of new media to strengthen the promotion of agricultural brands. At the same time, build online celebrity products and expand the market influence of agricultural brands. In some places, in the construction of agricultural brands, through the cooperation of the government, enterprises, farmers and associations, the quality of agricultural products is improved and the brand connotation is enriched from the aspects of building a green production system and a quality and safety traceability system. With new e-commerce formats such as content e-commerce, interest e-commerce and social e-commerce as the carrier, we will build brand image through multiple platforms and channels, enrich marketing scenarios and promote the sales of agricultural products. According to data from the Ministry of Commerce, in the first half of 2023, the online retail sales of rural physical goods nationwide was 1.02 trillion yuan, up 11.3% year-on-year.

  Third, relying on big data of agricultural products trading and using digital technology as a means to optimize the whole agricultural industry chain and accelerate the development of agricultural branding. In recent years, rural e-commerce is extremely active, and a large number of online real-time transaction data are gathered in the process of agricultural products e-commerce transactions. Agricultural product producers and operators in various places use the user data of e-commerce platform to understand consumer demand in multiple dimensions, and apply big data acquisition and analysis technology to dynamically match the supply chain management of agricultural products and fill the shortcomings of sales channels. At the same time, improve the traceability system of agricultural products, standardize and optimize the whole industrial chain and supply chain of agricultural products from production, packaging, transportation, storage to sales and after-sales, and increase the added value and brand premium of agricultural products. For example, in promoting "developing agriculture through several businesses", Shanghai connects the supply and demand sides through platforms such as Life, Pinduoduo, and Meituan to promote the sales of agricultural products, especially brand-name agricultural products, and better meet the living needs of urban residents. According to a survey, 42.6% of Shanghai residents are willing to pay a premium of 10% to 30% to choose branded agricultural products, and the online repurchase rate is 84.1%.

  Fourth, give full play to the guiding role of the government. Relevant departments, in combination with the characteristics of regional agricultural resources, make clear the overall goal and development direction of regional agricultural products branding, and plan the integrated development of regional public brands and industrial clusters. In practice, all localities attach great importance to the construction of special agricultural products production and processing bases, logistics industrial parks, basic information networks and other facilities, providing a strong guarantee for large-scale production, sales and logistics. In particular, by uniting rural e-commerce enterprises, we will jointly build a warehouse-distribution logistics integration base and share warehouse-distribution manpower, material resources and site resources, thus significantly reducing the distribution cost of express delivery enterprises and the storage cost of rural e-commerce enterprises.

  To sum up, under the background of "internet plus", China’s agricultural brand cultivation methods have been continuously innovated, and the level of standardization, digitalization and traceability has been significantly improved. E-commerce, live broadcast, short video and other new media marketing channels have been widely used in the field of agricultural product marketing, and an agricultural brand development model based on standardized production and quality certification has been initially formed, with digital empowerment, production and marketing docking and brand building as the means.

  Focus on local products and create a golden business card for regional development

  How can all localities give full play to their unique resource advantages, do a good job in "local products" and promote the development of agricultural brands?

  Hu Xiaoyun (Director, China Agricultural Brand Research Center, China Rural Development Research Institute, Zhejiang University): Our country is rich in special agricultural products, which are unique in regional ecology, variety quality, technological characteristics, cultural connotation and product flavor. As an excellent local product, geographical indication agricultural products have become an important carrier to build agricultural brands.

  Since the beginning of this century, all localities have given full play to their unique resource advantages, done a good job in "local products" articles, from theoretical research to policy support, and started with the creation of regional public brands of agricultural products, so as to brand distinctive agricultural products, enhance the resource value of local products, and achieve a win-win situation for all parties.

  First, theoretical research helps the development of agricultural branding. The most distinctive resources in China’s agriculture are geographical indication agricultural products based on the ecological and cultural connotations of specific regions. The number of theoretical research results on the creation and management of special geographical indications and regional public brands is increasing. For example, the number of papers on China Knowledge Network with agricultural brands and regional public brands of agricultural products as keywords is increasing, and the theoretical support system for agricultural brand building is constantly being built. The theoretical research of relevant teams in colleges and universities has promoted the development of agricultural brands in China, especially the branding process of high-quality local products, and also promoted the introduction of relevant support policies.

  The second is to strengthen the protection and management of agricultural products with geographical indications. Based on an international perspective, relevant departments actively promote the protection of origin, the registration of geographical indications trademarks and the registration of geographical indications of agricultural products, promote the development of agricultural products with geographical indications, and learn from the international experience of agricultural products brand development to promote the system design of agricultural brand development. More and more attention has been paid to the development of agricultural brands in various places, and a series of agricultural brand building with local characteristics has been carried out. In 2019, new special signs for geographical indications were released. The Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on Doing a Good Job in the Implementation of the Protection Project of Geographical Indications Agricultural Products in 2022 proposes to tap traditional farming culture and cultivate regional brands with geographical indication agricultural products as the core.

  Third, steadily promote the branding of agricultural products with geographical indications. All localities have promoted geographical indication agricultural products to create a regional public brand of agricultural products with a single category (industry), and become the leading brand and platform brand of local agriculture, which has enhanced the brand value of local products. For example, Yanchi County in Ningxia strives to build a regional public brand around Tan Sheep, and professional institutions design brand strategies and spread brands for it. Yanchitan sheep (meat) has been selected as a national geographical indication protection product, China Agricultural Brand Catalogue 2019 regional public brand of agricultural products, etc. In 2022, the total industrial chain output value of Tan sheep in Yanchi County reached 6.45 billion yuan, and the income from Tan sheep breeding accounted for more than 50% of the per capita disposable income of local farmers. At present, the regional public brands of agricultural products based on geographical indications have more and more market influence, and have formed a brand cluster effect.

  The fourth is to explore the creation of regional public brands of multi-category agricultural products. Based on the actual situation of mountainous areas in China, such as many agricultural categories, small scale, scattered planting blocks, unique varieties and techniques, relatively poor regional economy and weak regional influence, all localities explore and promote the construction of agricultural brands, create regional public brands of multi-category agricultural products, and force product standardization through branding to improve product quality. Relying on the unique mountain ecological environment, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province has built a regional public brand "Lishui Shangeng" (registered as a collective trademark) of multi-category agricultural products, gathered regional agricultural resources, let "mountain products" go out of the "mountain gate" and enhance the brand value of ecological fine agricultural products. It has formed many industries such as fungi, tea, fruits, vegetables and medicines, and the annual sales of "Lishui Shangeng" agricultural products exceeded 10 billion yuan. Chongqing’s "Ba Wei Yu Zhen", Gansu’s "Gan Wei", Inner Mongolia’s "Tian Fu Hetao", Shandong’s "Jining Li Yi" and Zhejiang’s "Sanqu Wei" and other multi-category regional public brands of agricultural products also rely on the historical and cultural characteristics of various places to strengthen the cultural, narrative, unique and intangible value premium functions of the brands, highlighting the cultural value of local high-quality local specialties.

  At present, relying on rural regional ecology and high-quality local products to build agricultural brands, local characteristics and cultural values are highlighted, making local local products a golden business card for regional development and effectively promoting local economic development.

Behind the promotion of influence and attraction of Beijing Xiangshan Forum is the continuous improvement of China’s status.

       CCTV News:The 10th Beijing Xiangshan Forum will be held in Beijing International Convention Center tomorrow (October 29th). Up to now, official delegations from more than 90 countries and international organizations, including Russia, the United States, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, have confirmed their participation. Beijing Xiangshan Forum adheres to the concept of "equality, openness, tolerance and mutual learning" and is committed to gathering wisdom, expanding consensus and enhancing mutual trust. It has developed into an important platform for international security and defense dialogue and has important international influence.

Beijing Xiangshan Forum was held in 2006, and it has been 17 years since then. Our reporter interviewed military experts who participated in every forum in the past and will soon participate in the tenth forum. So, what was their initial impression of the forum? What are the most profound changes that I have felt over the years?

Jiang Xinfeng, Academy of Military Sciences:The first Xiangshan Forum was entirely for scholars, probably a round-table meeting of scholars from 21 countries. At that time, it was entirely an academic dialogue meeting. Later, it was upgraded from Track 2 to Track 1.5, which is a semi-official and semi-scholar discussion platform for security issues with the participation of scholars.

From the round-table meetings attended by dozens of scholars to the official delegations of more than 90 countries and international organizations this year, among them, 22 representatives at or above the ministerial level of national defense, 14 representatives at the general level of the armed forces, and more than 200 experts from more than 50 countries (regions) signed up for the meeting. Experts attending the meeting felt that the scale of Beijing Xiangshan Forum is getting bigger and bigger, the specifications are constantly improving, and the topics are getting wider and wider.

Li Shuyin, Academy of Military Sciences:At first, the discussion was only focused on the security issues in the Asia-Pacific region, but now it has been extended to the whole global security issues, not only traditional but also non-traditional. For example, this year’s design focuses on the European security architecture, the Northeast Asian security architecture and the Asia-Pacific security architecture centered on the ASEAN region, as well as nuclear security, maritime risk management and technical security issues.

Beijing Xiangshan Forum is not only a platform for international security discussions, but also a platform for cultural exchanges.

Li Shuyin, Academy of Military Sciences:For example, when we go out to attend an academic delegation and visit abroad, we will meet these old friends inadvertently. They can clearly remember their participation in Xiangshan Forum, including who was the host of their speech, including what hotel they stayed in, what delicious food they ate during this period, what delicious food they ate in China and what memorable gifts they bought, which may also be a witness to the expansion of China culture.

Li Shuyin said that the rising influence and attraction of Beijing Xiangshan Forum is behind the rising status of China.

Li Shuyin, Academy of Military Sciences:China’s status and role as a great power, and China’s role in international and regional security are constantly improving.

Arbitrary charges, bundled sales, overlord clauses and so on are the most frequently used words when consumers complain about telecommunications recently.

    On March 16th, Lianyungang Telecom Branch sent a complaint and feedback to our station, saying, "After investigation, on August 6th, 2011, with the consent of the users, the free experience ITV network TV service was installed. After three months of free experience, the staff did not remind the users to handle the disassembly procedures, resulting in ITV fees from November 2011. After discovering that the ITV fee was charged, the local telecom branch office communicated with the user in time, and immediately refunded the overcharged fee and obtained the understanding of the user. "

    "The global eye fee mentioned by another user is the monthly 1 yuan fee for opening ten joint defense businesses on June 22, 2010 (the project shown on the bill is global eye business). This business is led by the public security organs and the local township government, and the technical defense business of Ping’ an Township for the masses is collected in the telecom phone bill after being confirmed by the user. "

    Lianyungang Telecom Branch also said, "This complaint was not made by the user’s family, and the owner didn’t know about it." And provides a "proof" with the user’s signature and fingerprint.

    However, the reporter verified that after the two parties settled the certificate, Telecom promised to refund the user the fee for the service for five months, and the user had to sign the certificate to deny the complaint. "Because we reconciled at that time, it was natural for Telecom to write like this …" Mr. Yuan said.
