　　As of November 14th, the average ex-factory price of domestic light caustic soda was 1510 yuan/ton, down 1.1% from last week and 31.6% year-on-year. The average price of the mainstream terminal of heavy alkali was 1,575 yuan/ton, which was the same as last week and decreased by 33.7% year-on-year. Recently, some soda plants have been reduced in concentration, and the overall start-up load of the industry has further decreased. Downstream users have replenished appropriately, and the inventory of soda enterprises has declined. The futures market fluctuates and the market is in a strong wait-and-see mood. Soda manufacturers mostly execute the previous orders. Some ammonia and soda producers run at a loss, while soda producers are interested in stabilizing prices. However, the downstream demand is general, and the consumption of soda ash in float glass and photovoltaic glass is reduced. Most downstream users just need to purchase mainly and replenish moderately. The upstream and downstream stalemate game, it is expected that the domestic soda ash market may not change greatly in the short term. (（）)

Variety fundamentals

　　On November 14th, the inventory of soda enterprises recorded 1,648,100 tons, an increase of 0.43 million tons compared with the previous trading day.

Institutional point of view

　　Zhengxin Futures: The supply of soda ash market is strong and weak, and the short-term shock operation is expected to be obvious.

　　

　　Strategy: At present, the supply of soda ash fundamentals continues to be strong and needs to be weak. Although there is the influence of device disturbance, the supply continues to be high, and the downstream demand is relatively stable. The inventory of upstream cash orders is transferred to the middle reaches instead of the downstream replenishment. Short-term device disturbance expectations are difficult to form a sustained drive and oscillating operation, and pay attention to the subsequent domestic macro-policy news.

　　“

　　Be sure to be accurate

　　Be sure to be timely.

　　Be sure to be safe

　　"

　　After the September 5 incident, Guinea’s land and air borders were closed and all flights were cancelled.

　　The director of the General Desk immediately asked the editorial office, CGTN, Africa Station, Asia-Africa Center, news center, news and new media center, international exchange bureau and other departments to quickly start hot planning, maintain the advantages shown in the Afghanistan report, and grasp the exclusive starting point and depth.

　　The main station in Africa immediately launched an emergency response mechanism for major emergencies, breaking the normal division of labor among journalists’ stations, deeply linking with domestic departments, and reaching the scene in Guinea in all possible ways.

　　Accurate verification and timely broadcast. The gunshots in Conakry just sounded, and the international department of the news center monitored the relevant information, and accurately verified the real situation ahead with the African main station at the first time.

　　At 20:07, the news of "Oriental Time and Space" was first broadcast. Subsequently, the Evening News broadcast a video report. "24 Hours" and "Midnight News" have been connected live with Qu Sheng, a reporter from Johannesburg Station in South Africa under the jurisdiction of Africa General Station.

　　The first time, send back the manuscript. The situation has changed suddenly, and the safety of local China citizens has touched people’s hearts.

　　The Africa Terminal interviewed China citizens in Guinea remotely, and it was quickly broadcast in "Chao Wen Tian Xia" at 8 o’clock more than an hour after returning the report, which became the first video interview of citizens in China in Guinea by domestic media.

　　Before the personnel arrive, the security comes first. The International Exchange Bureau of the General Desk and the Africa General Station are not far from the mountains and seas, and jointly arrange necessary matters such as epidemic prevention, safety guarantee and emergency treatment for journalists who are going to cover Guinea, as well as personnel, equipment and facilities, so as to ensure the safety and smooth coverage of journalists.

　　"The only China reporter to enter Conakry"

　　The Dakar reporter station, located in Senegal, Guinea’s neighboring country, has become one of the closest places to Guinea. During the period of border closure, Han Xu, a reporter from Dakar Station, reported the situation in Guinea by means of live connection, telephone interview and video vlog, while secretly saving his strength and waiting for an opportunity to jump into the news scene.

　　The good news has finally arrived! Guinea reopened its border, and when Guinea resumed its air route with Senegal, the Africa General Station sent Han Xu to Conakry. He used vlog to record the whole journey from Dakar, where the sun was shining, to Conakry, where lightning flashed and thunder thundered.

　　Upon his arrival, he became the first and only China journalist to cover the Guinean coup in Conakry.

　　On the 10th local time, the ECOWAS delegation arrived in Conakry to discuss with the military representatives of the coup. Due to the unstable situation and chaotic information, the entire Guinean journalist circle did not know which hotel the delegation and the military were holding talks at.

　　Han Xu, his Senegalese cameraman and local correspondent, dare not rest at all, and make a non-stop transition to confirm every possible location. Finally, they succeeded in taking an important shot of coup leader Doumbouya from the best angle of the conference hotel.

　　When the ECOWAS delegation left the military camp after visiting Conte, the scene was a mess. The detachment of the General Desk broke through the encirclement and seized the position of the window with the best shooting angle, and got an exclusive interview with Botchwey, an important member of the ECOWAS delegation and Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration.

　　Under the double shadow of the coup and the epidemic, Conakry, the capital of Guinea, implemented a very strict media control policy, and shooting in the street, whether using cameras or mobile phones, would be blocked by military police and ordinary people.

　　Guinea is the first sub-Saharan African country to establish diplomatic relations with New China. In recent years, China-Guinea comprehensive strategic partnership has developed rapidly. There are many Chinese-funded enterprises and overseas Chinese in Guinea. As the only "face of china" who reported the coup in Guinea this time, Han Xu made full use of local resources, specially arranged for local Chinese businessmen in Guinea to accompany him, and invited a local police colleague to revisit the place where the coup took place and where the parties exchanged fire, and to visit the lives of local people.

　　The reporter from the reception desk interviewed Guinean and China vendors in Conakry’s largest market.

　　Although the shooting process is inevitably hindered, the smoothness and safety of the report are guaranteed to the greatest extent. Everyone said that the situation in Guinea has calmed down and most shops have reopened.

　　After the video shot by the reporter was released, many local overseas Chinese said that the Chinese report sent by the reception desk from Guinea had reassured their relatives far away in the motherland.

　　International news reports are like a rally. Only when drivers and navigators keep step with each other can they win.

　　The reporting power of the reception desk in Guinea, even in the whole West Africa region and around the world has jumped to the forefront; The rear team controls the rhythm, strategizes and provides strong command and support.

　　From the beginning of the military coup in Guinea on September 5 to September 15, the exclusive reports sent back by reporters in front of the main station in ten days have been adopted by 54 video channels in 39 countries and regions, including British Sky News, France 24, France-Germany Public Television, Italy TGCOM24, South African Broadcasting Corporation, Brazil Flag Bearer Television, Mexico Millennium Television and Angola National Television, as well as 10 new media platforms, including European News Exchange Union and Australian Broadcasting Corporation YouTube account.

　　West Africa is in a storm, and the main event is at the reception desk!

　　China poet Du Fu imagined in his poems.

　　"Andrew’s strong men are holding the Tianhe River, and it is not necessary to wash the armor for a long time."

　　Look forward to stopping the war and fighting.

　　Guinea folk song "Elephant"

　　Also sing the people’s yearning for peace

　　"The sun just rises, and the earth glows red.

　　The earth becomes young and beautiful.

　　The elephant walked safely through the forest.

　　Now the darkness will dissipate. "

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that the key to building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation lies in the party. High-quality Party building is the guide and guarantee of high-quality development. Only by doing a good job in Party building with high quality can we give full play to the strong political and organizational advantages of the Party and unite and lead the broad masses of cadres and people in party member to strive to create a new situation in various undertakings of economic and social development. We should conscientiously implement the spirit of the important speeches and instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, deeply understand the decisive significance of "two establishment", regard "two maintenance" as the highest political principle and fundamental political rule, persist in grasping party building around development, do a good job in party building to promote development, and promote high-quality economic and social development in Anhui with high-quality party building.

　　Accurately grasp the new major strategic opportunities, and promote the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, the spirit of important instructions and the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee to take root in Anhui with high-quality party building.

　　The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that whether the economy and society can maintain sustained and healthy development fundamentally depends on whether the party plays a leading role in economic and social development well. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, the Party, has made comprehensive arrangements for promoting the overall layout of the "Five in One" and the "Four Comprehensive" strategic layout in a coordinated manner, which has pointed out the direction for us and established a guide for action. For Anhui, we have once again ushered in a rare opportunity for development. The CPC Central Committee has thoroughly implemented the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, strengthening the country through talents and innovation-driven development, which provides a rare opportunity for Anhui to give full play to its strong advantages in scientific and technological innovation and accelerate the construction of a world-class innovative highland. The deployment and construction of a modern industrial system by the CPC Central Committee provides a rare opportunity for Anhui to give full play to its good advantages in manufacturing industry and accelerate the coordinated development of the three industries with high quality. The CPC Central Committee promotes the strategy of accelerating the rise of the central region, promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, promoting the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, and promoting the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road", which provides a rare opportunity for Anhui to give full play to the overlapping advantages of national strategies, accelerate its integration into the big cycle, and better link the double cycle.

We should strengthen the sense of urgency of "slow progress is retreat, and even retreat if we don’t advance", seize the time window, speed up the promotion of Excellence, make efforts to make full use of various policies, and turn rare opportunities into practical results in Anhui’s development.

　　Accurately grasp the primary task of Chinese modernization, promote modernization and beautiful Anhui construction with high-quality party building, and make new progress

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "Chinese modernization is socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China (CPC)" and emphasized that "high-quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way". This is a major judgment made on the basis of in-depth analysis of the new historical conditions and stages of China’s development and a comprehensive grasp of China’s modernization practice. We should comprehensively benchmark the decision-making arrangements of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, find out the combination point and focus point of promoting high-quality development in accurately grasping the interrelation between Party building and economic and social development, implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively, and ensure that the construction of a modern and beautiful Anhui is stable and far-reaching under the correct leadership of the Party.

　　Adhere to the implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating Anhui through science and education, and accelerate new breakthroughs in innovative Anhui construction. Education, science and technology and talents are the basic and strategic supports for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. In the face of increasingly fierce regional competition, we should deeply understand that education is the foundation, science and technology is the key, and talents are the foundation, and we must make overall plans, complement each other and make concerted efforts. In recent years, Anhui’s education has made great progress. The regional innovation capability has been ranked first in the country for 11 consecutive years, and jumped to the seventh place in the country for the first time in 2022. The total amount of human resources has doubled and exceeded 11 million in ten years. We should persist in the education that the people are satisfied with, carry out the "tree planting project" of scientific and technological innovation in depth, speed up the construction of the transformation and application system of scientific and technological achievements, improve the mechanism of "laying eggs along the way" in cutting-edge scientific and technological research and development, make overall plans to promote the construction of talent teams in various fields, and make every effort to build a strong education province, a strong science and technology province and a strong talent province, so as to promote "strengthening agriculture through science and technology, strengthening agriculture through machinery, increasing farmers’ income" in the secondary industry, "improving quality and increasing efficiency" in the tertiary

　　Persist in promoting regional coordinated development and accelerate new breakthroughs in building Anhui together. Building a regional economic layout and land space system with complementary advantages and high-quality development is an important strategic measure to solve the problem of insufficient development imbalance and accelerate the construction of a new development pattern. With the continuous improvement of the integration level of the Yangtze River Delta, in 2021, the funds actually put in place for projects invested by Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in Anhui with more than 100 million yuan are close to 1 trillion yuan, and the total economic output of Hefei metropolitan area accounts for more than 60% of the province. In the past decade, more than 8 million agricultural migrants have become new citizens. We should deeply understand that coordination is both a development means and a development goal, adjust measures to local conditions, guide by classification, make efforts to narrow the gap between regions, urban and rural areas and income, accelerate the construction of a close and complementary cooperative relationship with Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in promoting the integration of the Yangtze River Delta, give play to the leading role of Hefei metropolitan area in radiation, and make overall plans for the coordinated development of northern Anhui, Wanjiang City Belt, Dabie Mountain Revolutionary Old Area in western Anhui and southern Anhui to ensure the relative balance in development.

　　Persist in promoting the harmonious coexistence between man and nature and accelerate new breakthroughs in the construction of beautiful Anhui. Respecting nature, conforming to nature and protecting nature are the inherent requirements of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. Chinese modernization should not only create more material wealth and spiritual wealth to meet the people’s growing needs for a better life, but also provide more high-quality ecological products to meet the people’s growing needs for a beautiful ecological environment. 1-mdash in 2022; In November, the average concentration of PM2.5 in Anhui was 32.6 μ g/m3, the proportion of excellent days was 82.8%, and the proportion of excellent water quality in 194 national examination sections was 84.5%, all of which were better than the annual target. We should continue to do a good job in the rectification of feedback problems such as the central ecological and environmental protection inspector, strictly implement the "ten-year fishing ban" of the Yangtze River, implement the strictest farmland protection and water resources management system, implement the peak carbon dioxide emissions Action step by step in a planned way, and accelerate the construction of beautiful Anhui.

　　Insist on deepening reform and opening up and accelerate new breakthroughs in opening Anhui. Reform and opening up is a key measure to determine the future and destiny of contemporary China. Anhui connects the east with the west, connects the south with the north, and dares to venture and try is the spiritual gene deeply rooted in Anhui’s reform and opening up. In recent years, Anhui has vigorously promoted the spirit of Xiaogang, and the reform experience of "Party building+letters and visits" and grassroots discipline inspection and supervision cooperation zones has been promoted to the whole country, so as to keep the number of provincial administrative power matters at the minimum in the country. We should give full play to the advantages of location and market, actively integrate into the big cycle, actively link the two cycles, promote the cooperation and docking of all regions and fields in the province with Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, do a good job in the construction of pilot free trade zones and linkage innovation zones, take the initiative to undertake spillover effects such as China International Import Expo(CIIE), Canton Fair and service trade fair, enhance the influence of the World Manufacturing Congress, promote the total foreign trade volume to continue to increase on the basis of exceeding 100 billion US dollars, and continuously improve the level of open economy.

　　Adhere to the people-centered development thought and accelerate new breakthroughs in the construction of a happy Anhui. Realizing people’s yearning for a better life is the starting point and the end result of modernization, and improving people’s livelihood and well-being is the fundamental purpose of development. Since 2022, Anhui has fully deployed the work of "improving work style, doing practical things for the people and optimizing the environment for enterprises", and spent 15 billion yuan to implement the action of "warming people’s hearts". In the survey of "Ten thousand private enterprises evaluating the business environment" conducted by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, Anhui has advanced from the 16th place in 2021 to the eighth place in 2022. We should adhere to the policy of giving priority to employment, pay close attention to the greatest livelihood, carry out the action of "warming people’s hearts" in depth, pay close attention to benefiting people’s livelihood, improve the social assistance system, pay close attention to people’s livelihood, and exchange cadres’ "responsibility index" for the people’s "happiness index"

　　Accurately grasp the general requirements of party building in the new era, and promote the new great project of party building in the new era with high-quality party building.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to persistently promote the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party. We must carry forward the great spirit of party building, comprehensively promote the party’s political construction, ideological construction, organizational construction, work style construction and discipline construction, run through the system construction, deepen the anti-corruption struggle, and strive to build the party stronger and provide a strong guarantee for economic and social development.

　　Keep in mind that "the country is the biggest" and resolutely be loyal to the party. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that we should be mindful of "the country’s greatest power" and think about problems and do things from a global and strategic perspective. It is necessary to take a clear-cut stand on politics, take the important instructions of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader as the first political requirement, and ensure that the decrees of the CPC Central Committee are smooth and prohibited. We must firmly establish the overall situation, consciously put our own work in the overall situation of the party and the state, and plan our own development in the overall situation of the country and the integration of the Yangtze River Delta. We should enhance our work creativity, carry forward the innovative spirit of being the first, use our brains and refrain from mechanical execution, be down-to-earth and refrain from empty slogans, take the initiative and refrain from passive response, and implement the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee to the letter.

　　Temper your hard work style and resolutely do your job. Achieving the goals and tasks of the new era and new journey has put forward new and higher requirements for the mental state, ability and quality, and style image of leading cadres at all levels. Since 2022, Anhui has paid attention to the examination of cadres in the front line of major struggles such as epidemic prevention and control, flood control and disaster relief, and vigorously promoted the public visits of 10,000 cadres in provinces, cities and counties, with a total of more than 49,000 visits to the masses and more than 125,000 letters from the masses, which further strengthened the relationship between the party and the masses. We should strengthen our ability to serve the people, with people in our hearts, mud under our feet, and responsibility on our shoulders, and devote all our energy to making the people live a good life. We should strengthen the spirit of struggle, dare to face and be good at solving new problems encountered in practice, deep-seated problems existing in reform, development and stability, people’s urgent difficulties and worries, and outstanding problems faced by party building. It is necessary to strengthen the ability to prevent and resolve risks, always maintain a sense of responsibility that is always uneasy, stand up and actively respond to risk challenges, and fight the initiative to turn crises into opportunities and turn them into dangers.

　　Keep clean and honest, and resolutely be strict with yourself. Cheap, focusing on self-awareness, lasting, and thorough. Since 2022, Anhui has comprehensively strengthened anti-corruption work in key areas such as state-owned enterprises, finance, politics and law, grain purchase and sale, engineering construction, development zones, etc. In November, 16,000 cases were filed in the province, 14,000 people were given disciplinary and administrative sanctions, and 55,000 people were handled by using the "four forms". It is necessary to lead a clean and honest life, always be alert to "hunting" from all sides, and be an official, clean and honest. We should be fair and upright, establish a correct view of power, achievements and career, and resolutely put an end to the behavior of "hiding in the cold and being rude". We must stick to the bottom line, strictly implement the spirit of the eight central regulations and their implementation rules, be strict with ourselves, be strict with our responsibilities, and strictly manage our jurisdiction, and effectively create a good political ecology with a clean atmosphere.

Analysis on the Current Market Situation of Third-party Input Method

The growth rate of users’ market has slowed down, and user experience has become the core of competition for third-party input methods.

According to the data of Analysys Qian Fan, in November, 2021, the overall monthly user scale of third-party input method in China reached 714 million, and the penetration rate of active users reached 68.5%. Since 2020, the growth rate of overall user scale has remained basically stable, with the quarterly average active users remaining above 860 million, and the quarterly user usage time exceeded 35 billion hours. The growth trend of the third-party input method market in China has slowed down, and it has entered the stage of stock competition. High-quality user experience has become the core of competition for users to compete and enhance their stickiness.

The TOP3 pattern is stable, and the iFLYTEK input method continues to optimize the user experience scale and leads the growth.

The Matthew effect of the third-party input method market in China is remarkable. The three input methods, sogou input method, iFLYTEK input method and Baidu input method, occupy more than 95% of the market share, and the three-legged pattern is stable. From the perspective of user scale, at present, sogou input method still maintains the first-Mover advantage, and iFLYTEK input method ranks second; However, the iFLYTEK input method has greatly improved the user experience with many upgrades, such as caring for elders mode, intelligent photo input, off-line input mode, AI voice input recognition framework update and so on, and achieved the highest user growth rate in the industry.

Focus on user experience optimization: AI technology is improved and the intelligent voice input experience is further upgraded.

With the continuous upgrading of AI technology, people’s requirements for input methods have already been upgraded from basic input to intelligent service ecology, and intelligent voice input has gradually occupied a wider market.

Most of the active users are young people under the age of 35, accounting for more than 75%. Young users are still the core users of input method, and meeting the personalized and diversified needs of young people headed by generation Z is still the direction of input method. At the same time, the proportion of middle-aged and elderly users over 41 years old is less than 10%. In the future, input method manufacturers will meet the input demands of the elderly group through effective aging transformation, and cater to the aging trend to continuously expand the scale of elderly users.

According to the data of Analysys Qian Fan, the consumption power of users in the input method field is mainly middle consumption and high consumption, accounting for nearly 70%.

User experience insight of third-party input method

Input method users need to upgrade and pursue more personalized and intelligent input experience.

Among the factors that users pay attention to the input method, voice input ability becomes the core concern in the basic input function. At the same time, users’ requirements for input methods are no longer satisfied with the basic input function, and they begin to pursue a variety of input methods, personalized experience brought by typical crowd mode and intelligent experience brought by AI assistants to meet the diverse needs of different people and different scenes.

A variety of input methods and other factors positively affect the evaluation of user experience.

In the process of using input method, multiple input methods are the most likely factors that affect the user experience and thus affect the user’s evaluation of input method, followed by the intelligence of AI input assistants and typical crowd patterns.

　　China Meteorological Bureau held a press conference in February 2022 yesterday. Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from the scene that the meteorological department has strengthened scientific and technological research, observation, forecasting and service capacity building, studied refined event forecasting and early warning technology, developed a number of forecasting products, and achieved a number of zero breakthroughs in meteorological science and technology, providing meteorological support for the success of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Among them, the meteorological department has realized the "100-meter-level and minute-level" operational weather forecasting capability for the first time, and established a forecasting service system.

　　Meteorological service guarantee of winter Olympics

　　Facing the test of climatic conditions

　　According to Qu Xiaobo, chief meteorological officer of Winter Olympics and deputy director of Beijing Meteorological Bureau, as far as meteorological conditions are concerned, the Beijing Winter Olympics is the first winter Olympics held under the continental winter monsoon climate. The characteristics of continental winter monsoon climate such as cold, strong wind, dryness, less precipitation and great temperature change pose a severe test for the meteorological service guarantee of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Looking at the meteorological service guarantee of previous Winter Olympics, there is no mature and completely applicable portable technical scheme for Beijing Winter Olympics in the world. Therefore, the Beijing Winter Olympics meteorological service guarantee is a big challenge, and it is difficult to tackle key scientific and technological problems. Many technologies can be said to start from scratch.

　　It is understood that compared with the Summer Olympic Games, the Winter Olympics is more dependent on meteorological conditions, mainly reflected in the fact that the outdoor environment is often more complicated, and it is more difficult to predict the meteorological factors that affect the event, and the event development requires high precision in forecasting time. Take the alpine skiing track as an example, the horizontal distance of the venue environment is short and the vertical drop is large. In reality, the meteorological environment may be very different for every 100 meters of altitude drop; Over a mountain ridge, there may be another scene.

　　Therefore, for weather forecast, faced with many tests such as "changing from one day to four seasons" and "different days in ten miles" under complex terrain in mountainous areas, site forecast and conventional grid difference forecast are difficult to meet the requirements of event support. Different events have different requirements on the threshold of meteorological conditions, so it is necessary to monitor and forecast the wind, temperature, visibility, rain and snow phases and other factors. In particular, the wind field on the track of snow events is very abrupt. If the sun shines for a while or a cloud floats over, the wind will change. In the process of high-speed decline, athletes are easily affected by the sudden change of longitudinal wind and crosswind on the track.

　　Haituo Mountain Area in Yanqing, Beijing

　　The first meteorological observation system was built

　　Qu Xiaobo introduced that with the Winter Olympics as the core, the meteorological department organized and implemented the winter multi-dimensional meteorological comprehensive observation experiment under complex terrain for the first time in China’s mid-latitude mountainous areas, and built 441 sets of modern three-dimensional detection facilities in Beijing urban area, Yanqing and Chongli and its surrounding areas, realizing the integrated, three-dimensional, second-level, multi-factor winter Olympics meteorological comprehensive monitoring of ultra-precision complex mountainous areas and megacities. Among them, the meteorological observation system in Haituo mountain area of Yanqing achieved a breakthrough from scratch.

　　In order to improve the ability of winter Olympics meteorological forecast, the meteorological department has set up a core team of mountain meteorological forecast. According to the service requirements of "one game, one policy" and "one project, one policy", the meteorological departments of Beijing and Hebei Province are the main bodies, and 52 key personnel are drawn from national units such as the Central Meteorological Observatory and meteorological departments of Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Heilongjiang, Jilin and other provinces to form service athletes, coaches and event organizations in Beijing, Yanqing, Zhangjiakou and the dispatching center of the Operation Command of the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee. At the same time, field forecasting training was conducted in the competition area for five consecutive years, and people were sent to observe the PyeongChang Winter Olympics in 2018, and the team’s business level was continuously improved.

　　The weather forecast was first realized.

　　"100-meter class and minute class"

　　Small-scale mountain meteorological forecast is one of the core technologies of winter Olympics meteorological forecast. After several rounds of technical research, the meteorological department has realized the "100-meter-level and minute-level" business weather forecast capability for the first time, and built a numerical weather forecast model system with a resolution of 500 meters in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and 100 meters in the core area of the Winter Olympics Mountain Stadium, which is updated rapidly every 10 minutes. Based on this, a forecast service system has been established to provide seamless fine grid forecast products from short-term approach (0-1 hour) to extended period (30 days).

　　Qu Xiaobo introduced that the 100-meter level is a spatial distance. After dividing the atmosphere into several grids, 100 meters is equivalent to a 100-meter grid, which means that no matter where you are in the future, you can find a suitable forecast point not far from the surrounding area. In the past, the resolution was one kilometer in Beijing and even the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and 500 meters in the urban area. This time, through the technical personnel’s research, the spatial resolution has been improved to 100 meters, which is a relatively big breakthrough. Minute level is equivalent to updating the latest forecast every 10 minutes. The daily forecast includes half a day, one day or one hour. Now according to the service demand, the meteorological department can provide a new forecast every 10 minutes.

　　In addition, the meteorological department has also built an information network to support the meteorological services in Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou, providing winter Olympic meteorological data services with interconnection, data sharing and mutual backup, and realizing multi-point flexible on-site video consultation. Build the Winter Olympics meteorological service website to meet the meteorological service needs of the public for watching games and traveling. During the Winter Olympics, the meteorological department will provide high-quality meteorological services according to the different needs of "competition", "protection" and "watching".

　　Meteorological scientific and technological achievements

　　Continue to serve after the game

　　Qu Xiaobo introduced that the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics is just around the corner. At present, all preparations have been fully prepared. The meteorological department will go all out to invest in the winter Olympics meteorological service guarantee, and strive to give meteorological connotation to the "simple but not simple" winter Olympics with precise monitoring, accurate forecasting and fine service, take meteorological responsibility for the "safe and blind area-free" winter Olympics, and make meteorological contributions to the "wonderful and uncompromising" winter Olympics.

　　After the end of the Winter Olympics, these hard-won achievements in winter Olympics meteorological science and technology will continue to play a role in five aspects: First, the "eye" of winter Olympics meteorology — — Build a three-dimensional observation system for mountain meteorology; The second is the "teacher" of winter Olympics meteorology — — Training the technical team of mountain meteorological forecast; Third, the "Taiwan" of the Winter Olympics meteorology — — Establish a supporting platform for mountain meteorological services; Fourth, the "skills" of winter Olympics meteorology — — Study the mechanism of occurrence and development of mountain meteorology; Fifth, the "fruit" of winter Olympics meteorology — — Expand the application of mountain meteorological service achievements, and provide solid support for the development of ice and snow economy and more people to participate in ice and snow sports.

　　China Southern Airlines purchased 96 aircraft.

　　The basic price is about $12.248 billion.

　　China Eastern Airlines buys 100 aircraft.

　　The total basic price is about $12.796 billion.

　　Air China and its holding subsidiary Shenzhen Airlines purchased a total of 96 aircraft.

　　The total basic price is about $12.213 billion.

　　The aircraft ordered by the three major airlines will be delivered from 2023 to 2027.

　　On July 1st, China Southern Airlines, Air China and China Eastern Airlines, the three largest domestic airlines, announced that they had signed a purchase agreement with European aircraft manufacturing giant Airbus — — A total of 292 A320NEO series aircraft were purchased, and the total purchase amount will reach 37.257 billion US dollars (about 249.1 billion yuan). This transaction is the single order with the largest quantity and the highest order amount among the three major airlines in the history of aircraft purchase, and it is also the first large-scale passenger aircraft order announced by China civil aviation industry in recent three years.

　　Why did the three major airlines reach the biggest order in history at present? Why did this "group purchase" order select Airbus A320NEO? 249.1 billion yuan is not a small sum. Under the influence of the epidemic, where did this money come from? Does the large-scale purchase of aircraft in the downturn of the aviation industry signal the full recovery of China’s civil aviation industry?

　　Why buy it?

　　Optimization of fleet structure and long-term capacity supplement are the main reasons

　　At present, the aviation market has not fully recovered, so why did the three major airlines sign the largest order in history at this node?

　　Qi Qi, an expert of China Civil Aviation High-quality Development Research Center and an associate professor of guangzhou civil aviation Vocational and Technical College, said: "It can be said that it is a compensatory consumption. Because there are many uncertainties during the whole epidemic, it is difficult for airlines to make a large-scale purchase of aircraft. At present, we see that the whole signal of aviation recovery is relatively strong. At this moment, it is actually an important performance of market confidence for airlines to buy related models in a big way. "

　　The reporter noticed that in the announcements of the three airlines, the main reason for purchasing the aircraft this time was mentioned, that is, the aircraft transaction was in line with the company’s "14 th Five-Year Plan" development and market demand, and the company needed to plan and reserve the fleet capacity in advance, optimize the fleet structure and supplement the long-term capacity. Air China said that the introduction of new aircraft will be concentrated after 2024, and this transaction will increase the Group’s capacity by about 10.4%. China Eastern Airlines said that after the introduction of this aircraft, it will be mainly put into the domestic trunk network market to encrypt high-yield routes and develop potential markets. China Southern Airlines said that the purchase of 96 A320NEO series aircraft will increase the Group’s capacity by about 13.0%.

　　Why buy it now?

　　More bargaining power, the purchase price is more favorable

　　The consumption potential and confidence of the market are constantly increasing. However, at present, the civil aviation industry in China has not fully recovered to the pre-epidemic level, and the seat capacity that the industry as a whole can provide is still far higher than the current market demand. So is it necessary to order so many new planes now? In this regard, experts said that the replacement of old and new models can promote the metabolism of the industry. In the future, the aviation market will be huge, and China needs to continuously increase new capacity to keep the airline fleet younger.

　　Experts said that due to the impact of the epidemic, the speed of aircraft introduction of the three major airlines has greatly slowed down in the past two years. Take Air China China as an example. By the end of 2021, the fleet size was 746, a net increase of 52 compared with the end of 2019. The average annual import rate is between 1% and 3%, which is far from the previous rate of 6%-8%.

　　Qi Qi believes that many domestic models are relatively old. In the aviation field, the fuel economy of new aircraft will be much better than that of old models, which also urges airlines to accelerate the iteration of old models. In addition, with the market recovery and business development, the domestic aviation market also needs to continuously increase new capacity.

　　The transaction amount of this large passenger plane order is nearly 250 billion yuan. However, the three major airlines all said that Airbus will give a larger discount in the actual transaction, and the actual price of the aircraft will be lower than the above basic price. Therefore, experts also speculate that airlines have more bargaining power to buy new aircraft at this node at a more favorable purchase price, which is also one of the main factors for the three major airlines to concentrate on buying new aircraft.

　　Why A320NEO?

　　Domestic airlines have a strong demand for narrow-body aircraft.

　　Even if the moment is a good opportunity, why did the three major airlines choose Airbus’s narrow-body A320NEO? A320NEO series aircraft is the latest generation of narrow-body aircraft of Airbus, the best-selling New Engine Option of A320 series aircraft, and the fist product of Airbus in the single-aisle narrow-body aircraft market at present.

　　Single-channel narrow-body aircraft is the main passenger aircraft on domestic routes and short-haul international routes. By the end of 2021, there were 4,054 registered aircraft in the civil aviation industry, among which 3,178 were narrow-body aircraft, accounting for nearly 80% of the transport fleet.

　　Qiao Shanxun, secretary-general of the Expert Committee of Henan Aviation Industry Association and researcher of Henan Collaborative Innovation Center for Aviation Economic Development, told reporters that domestic airlines have a strong demand for narrow-body aircraft, and the three major airlines themselves have a large-scale narrow-body fleet. At present, the proportion of narrow-body aircraft is 70% to 90%, and they have their own needs for renewal of old aircraft.

　　Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 are the two most popular single-aisle passenger aircraft in the world, which is also one of the most competitive markets between Airbus and Boeing, an American veteran aircraft manufacturer. In 2021, Airbus delivered a total of 611 passenger planes, while Boeing delivered only 340 in the same year. Airbus has become the world’s largest aircraft manufacturer for three consecutive years. After the successive accidents of Boeing 737MAX, Airbus has taken the lead in the single-aisle passenger aircraft market.

　　Where does the money come from?

　　Business operation, commercial bank loans and other financing methods

　　Buying aircraft is a major capital expenditure for airlines, which will increase the scale of airline debt. At present, affected by the repeated epidemic and the high international crude oil price, the performance of the three major airlines fell further in the first quarter of 2022, with a total loss of over 20 billion yuan. In this case, where does the money for buying a plane come from? Will cash flow be affected? Will it further increase the scale of airline debt?

　　Experts said that as a high-value product, aircraft is not a spot transaction. At the same time, the manufacturing cycle is relatively long, so the order is usually signed 3-5 years in advance. The 292 aircraft ordered this time will also be introduced in years and batches. Taking Air China as an example, public information shows that the purchased aircraft is scheduled to be delivered in batches from 2023 to 2027; Shenzhen Airlines, the holding subsidiary, plans to purchase aircraft in batches from 2024 to 2026.

　　In the announcement, the three major airlines all said that the money for buying planes does not need to be paid in one lump sum. Because it is annual, the aircraft are delivered in batches every year, so it is customary to pay part of the advance payment in installments, and then pay off the balance on the delivery date of each aircraft. In the announcement, all three airlines said that they would provide funds for the purchase of aircraft through business operations, commercial bank loans or other financing methods. The transaction amount is paid by installment, which is not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s cash flow and business operations.

　　Expert opinion

　　The deep cooperation model between Airbus and China aviation industry is highly recognized.

　　As a supplier, Airbus confirmed the news of this order in official website for the first time. Scheler, chief commercial officer of Airbus and head of Airbus’s international business, said: "We commend the excellent work done by the entire Airbus China team and our customer team. They had a long and extensive discussion during the difficult COVID-19 epidemic." As of May this year, there were more than 2,070 Airbus aircraft operating in China.

　　Experts said that the massive purchase of Airbus aircraft by China’s three major airlines also released a positive signal, which once again confirmed that the deep cooperation model between Airbus and China aviation industry was highly recognized. In addition, Airbus has three production assembly lines in Tianjin, which also reflects the good coordinated development of aircraft manufacturers and domestic aviation industry.
