Jetta: German quality, large space and comfortable car.

Jetta: Perfect Concerto of Space and Comfort

In the vast world of automobiles, Jetta has always played a practical and comfortable gorgeous movement with its exquisite carving of space and unremitting pursuit of comfort. Today, let’s go deep into Jetta’s interior world, carefully explore its outstanding accomplishments in storage space, front seat space and rear seat space, and feel how it creates infinite comfort possibilities in a limited body.

When you gently open the door of Jetta, the first thing you see is the front seat space full of humanized design. Jetta’s seat, like a caring personal butler, is always ready to adjust its posture according to your needs. Its adjustment function is rich and accurate, sliding back and forth smoothly and unimpeded, the lifting range is just right, and the backrest inclination angle can respond to your instructions in microseconds. Take a man with a height of 1.88 meters and a strong figure as an example. When he leisurely sits in the driver’s seat and adjusts the seat to the most suitable driving position, he will be pleasantly surprised to find that there is still an open space between his head and the roof of the car, as if there is an endless blue sky above his head, and his thoughts are free to gallop, and he will not be bothered by the depressed atmosphere at all. The performance of the legroom is also remarkable. The ample stretching area keeps an elegant distance between the knees and the center console. During long-distance driving, the legs can stretch freely, the blood circulates freely, and the fatigue seems to be forgotten far away. The wrapping on both sides of the seat is like a gentle and powerful embrace. When the vehicle turns or changes lanes, it gives the driver just the right support, which will not be too tight, but also ensure the stability and safety of the body, making every driving a pleasure.

Slowly turn around and step into the back row of Jetta, which is a spacious and comfortable new world. The spaciousness of the legroom in the back row is beyond imagination. Passengers are like being in a VIP seat in a luxury cinema, and their legs can be stretched forward as much as they like. Even passengers with long legs do not have to compromise their long legs, and they can easily change various comfortable sitting postures for a long time. The layout of the horizontal space is full of Jetta’s atmospheric demeanor. Three adults sit side by side, leaving plenty of room for activities between their shoulders. The arms are placed naturally and casually, and there will be no embarrassment and embarrassment between them. The backrest angle of the rear seat has been carefully designed, which perfectly fits the natural curve of the human spine, providing solid and comfortable support for the waist, as if it were a skilled masseur, silently relieving fatigue for you during the journey. It is worth mentioning that the uplift of the middle part of Jetta’s rear floor is extremely low. Compared with many similar models, this design provides a more friendly resting place for the feet of the middle passengers, so that every rear passenger can enjoy an equal and comfortable ride experience.

However, the charm of Jetta is not limited to the spacious and comfortable seating space, but also unique in the creation of storage space, which can be called a mobile storage treasure house. The bottom of the center console is like an exquisite storage cube, and the open storage slot is like a small intimate drawer. Small things such as mobile phones, wallets and keys can find their own shelter here. The exquisite design of its depth and width ensures the stability and safety of the items during driving, and even in the face of bumpy road conditions, they will not easily slide or shift. The glove box is like a hidden treasure chest, with amazing volume and regular internal space. All kinds of important materials such as vehicle manuals, insurance documents and bills can be properly kept here, and at the same time, it can easily accommodate paper towels, wet wipes, snacks, small first aid kits and other necessary items for your trip, providing all-round protection. The storage compartment on the inside of the car door is like a long, narrow and deep treasure house, and its length and depth are enough to accommodate all kinds of beverage bottles, whether it is a slim mineral water bottle or a stout sports beverage can, it can firmly embrace it. In addition, the door storage compartment also reserves enough space for travel AIDS such as umbrellas, folding maps, small flashlights, car vacuum cleaners, etc., so that you can get them quickly and conveniently when you need them. The central armrest box is like a private and practical treasure box. The internal space layout is reasonable, and it can store valuable or common items such as wallets, documents and sunglasses. The lid of the armrest box is like a solid shield, which effectively blocks the outside world.Provide intimate security protection for your items.

Finally, let’s focus on Jetta’s remarkable trunk space. It’s like a magical space pocket, and the opening of the trunk is wide and regular, just like a grand door to the storage kingdom, which is convenient for you to easily carry items of various shapes and sizes. In daily urban life, its regular volume is enough to meet the transportation needs of big bags and small bags for family shopping, luggage and equipment for short trips on weekends and various small items. Imagine a happy family camping trip. Tents, sleeping bags, barbecue grills, ingredients, drinks and all kinds of outdoor products can be easily stored in Jetta’s trunk, adding endless convenience to your trip. When you are faced with special handling tasks, such as handling large furniture, sports equipment or bicycles, the function of Jetta’s rear seats that can be laid down in proportion will come into full play. With a slight operation, the rear seat will fall gracefully, and perfectly blend with the trunk floor, forming an almost flat and huge loading plane, as if it were a mobile big bed customized for you. Whether it is a slender club, a huge snowboard suit, or a large TV set, bookshelf and other furniture, you can find a suitable habitat in this spacious and regular space, which provides great convenience and possibility for your handling work.

Jetta, like a master of space and comfort, uses its exquisite skills and persistent pursuit of details to perfectly integrate the front seat space, the rear seat space and the storage space to create a spacious and practical, comfortable and convenient mobile space. Whether you are traveling through the busy city or galloping between the heavens and the earth in vast expanse, Jetta has become the most trustworthy partner in your journey with its excellent spatial performance, accompanying you through every wonderful journey and leaving countless beautiful memories.

Huawei’s winter new product launch conference, Yu Chengdong found the long-lost excitement.

(Observer News/Bathen Chow) On the afternoon of December 23, Huawei held a new flagship product launch conference in winter. After the release of the folding screen P50 Pocket and a variety of Harmony OS devices, the first AITO Wenjie M5 smart car equipped with HarmonyOS smart cockpit was officially unveiled.

Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of consumer business and CEO of BU, a smart car solution, announced at the press conference that Huawei has brought "smart terminals with wheels!"

During the one-hour-long release session, Yu Chengdong introduced every technical index, every experience upgrade and every product detail of AITO M5, and it was hard to hide his excitement in his tone, just like the launch of new mobile phones around 2018.

"I haven’t seen Mr. Yu so excited for a long time," and the media colleagues at the press conference also felt the same way.

Since the "5.15 ban", the consumer business that once supported half of Huawei has suffered heavy losses in the past two years, but now this gloom seems to be swept away.

Intelligent definition of AITO

AITO brand comes from AUTO, which means Adding Intelligence to Auto. It is a high-end smart car brand officially released by Huawei and Xiaokang in Chongqing Liangjiang Smart Factory in early December. According to the official plan, AITO brand will take the lead in launching three new models in the future, including medium-sized luxury SUV, medium-sized luxury pure electric SUV and medium-sized and large-sized luxury SUV.

The released AITO M5 is its first product.

Throughout 2021, the industry’s discussion about whether Huawei will build a car has never stopped; Yu Chengdong also said at the press conference that the whole process of AITO M5 from design to definition to production to quality control was deeply involved by Huawei’s original mobile phone team, and it was used to benchmark millions of luxury cars.

Observer. com also learned through various channels that Huawei’s consumer business has hundreds of teams based in Chongqing Liangjiang Smart Factory and deeply involved in automobile-related projects.

Except that there is no Huawei standard, AITO M5 is Huawei.

Huawei also said that as a brand oriented to the era of smart cars, AITO is committed to building a smart car ecosystem with "people" as the core. AITO Media M5 is just to achieve this goal. With the ultimate aesthetic design, excellent performance and fun driving, Harmony OS intelligent cockpit, rich in-vehicle application ecology and HUAWEI SOUND sound sound system, users can easily have full-scene intelligent experiences such as consumption, life, travel and work. The arrival of M5 in AITO indicates the historic transformation of automobiles from means of transportation to intelligent ecology, and it is also a key link for Huawei to build an interconnected ecology of everything.

As a heavy new product of Huawei’s interconnected ecology, after comprehensive subsidies, the pre-sale price of AITO M5 rear-drive standard version is 250,000 yuan, the pre-sale price of four-wheel drive performance version is 280,000 yuan, and the pre-sale price of four-wheel drive flagship version is 320,000 yuan.

"Booking will start in January, and delivery will start after the Spring Festival. We don’t build cars with PPT," Yu Chengdong said bluntly.

The hope of the whole village-aito

Huawei has positioned AITO M5 as a medium-sized luxury SUV, and its pricing is also extremely accurate in grasping the market. At the moment when pure electric vehicles are still facing endurance anxiety and inconvenient charging, the hybrid scheme of oil and electricity that takes into account the advantages of electric vehicles and traditional oil vehicles is favored by users.

At present, the price of BYD DMI super hybrid vehicles is mainly concentrated in the range of 100,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan, while the market of large-scale extended-range SUV with more than 300,000 yuan is firmly occupied by ideals. When BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and mercedes benz c Class generally rose to the price range of 400,000 yuan, the market of the original price range of 300,000 yuan is currently facing a brand vacuum period, and AITO M5 obviously aimed at this blank.

In addition, although Huawei has publicly stated on many occasions that it does not build cars and is only willing to help car companies build good cars together with its partners, it is well known that Yu Chengdong wants to build cars himself. Huawei’s consumer business also needs a model with higher quality, high price and easy volume to prove itself.

In terms of the specific parameters of the vehicle, AITO M5 has a wheelbase of 2880mm, a smart body posture and ample interior space. With 20-inch sail all-aluminum wheels and 0.32Cd ultra-low wind resistance, it has both a sense of super-running and a sense of stability of SUV. The all-aluminum chassis of the vehicle adopts front double wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension, which can still maintain good stability and comfort under extreme control.

AITO M5 is equipped with HUAWEI DriveONE pure electric drive range extension platform, and its 1.5T four-cylinder range extender can generate 3.2 kWh per liter of oil. Under the condition of full oil and full charge, the vehicle can run for 1,242km under CLTC condition, with a fuel consumption of 6.5L. The peak power of the intelligent four-wheel drive combination composed of front asynchronous AC motor and rear permanent magnet synchronous motor can reach 365kW, and the vehicle accelerates for 4.4 seconds in 100 kilometers, and it only takes 1.9 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 50 kilometers.

In the interior design, AITO M5 adopts a simple design style, and the design of 10.4-inch curved full LCD instrument panel, 15.6-inch 2K HDR intelligent central control large screen and wireless charging area greatly improves the convenience of operation. The panoramic canopy with a total area of about 2 square meters brings an open and soothing ride experience. In addition, AITO Wenjie M5 has six metallic paint colors and three interior colors, which can provide 18 different color combinations.

AITO M5 is equipped with the new Harmony OS intelligent cockpit for the first time. Harmony OS intelligent cockpit breaks the information gap between different devices, making the vehicle a super terminal that can seamlessly flow with people, mobile phones, smart homes, smart watches, etc., and truly realizes the connection of everything.

The camera equipped in the AITO M5 car can also perceive the identity of the main driver in real time and automatically match the corresponding in-car settings for different drivers; ICAS air purification system can automatically detect and purify the ambient air quality, and keep the fresh environment in the car at all times with the exclusive fragrance system; NVH control system with both hardware and software creates a quiet cockpit of library level, and keeps a comfortable environment at all times; Smart light language, L2+ automatic assisted driving, V2L reverse charging and other configurations can also greatly improve the safety and convenience of users’ car travel.

When folding the screen-P50 pocket

It’s not just cars that have attracted much attention at this conference. Huawei once again launched P50 Pocket, a folding screen product focusing on technology aesthetics and smart images.

Different from the Mate X2 series folding screen released earlier, P50 Pocket chose the up-and-down folding scheme, and adopted a new generation of water drop hinge and multi-dimensional linkage lifting technology. Colleagues who achieved perfect seamless folding also adopted a large battery of 4000 mAh, and the weight was only 190g.

Yu Chengdong said at the press conference that Huawei’s folding screen technology can make the screen fit seamlessly, and all the seamless folding screen phones on the market will use Huawei’s technology patents.

The expanded P50 Pocket has a 6.9-inch immersion screen, and the screen ratio of 21: 9 can bring excellent viewing experience. With the color management of 442ppi, 1.07 billion colors and P3 wide color gamut, the color is extremely restored and the display is more delicate. This screen supports up to 120Hz refresh rate and 300Hz ultra-high touch sampling rate, and also has 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which is more eye-friendly when watching.

In terms of image, P50 Pocket uses the hyperspectral super image unit technology pioneered by Huawei, which is the latest achievement of Huawei in the exploration of advanced image capabilities. It consists of a 40-megapixel primary color camera, a 13-megapixel super wide-angle camera, a 32-megapixel hyperspectral camera, a 10-channel multispectral sensor, a hyperspectral fill light and a laser focus sensor.

P50 Pocket is based on the newly adjusted post-shot self-timer algorithm, the enhanced dark resolution brought by the outsole advantage of hyperspectral super image unit, and the unique folding form, which realizes a stronger self-timer effect and atmosphere.

In terms of price, the price of P50 Pocket 8 GB+256 GB version is RMB 8988, and there are two colors of crystal diamond white and obsidian black. The art customized version of 12 GB+512 GB is priced at RMB 10988.

At this conference, Huawei also released the HUAWEI WATCH D wrist ECG and blood pressure recorder, the first smart glasses equipped with Harmony OS and a new generation of HUAWEI MateBook X Pro.

Up to now, the number of Huawei devices equipped with Harmony OS has exceeded 220 million. In 2021, Harmony OS Connect shipped more than 100 million new ecological devices, totaling more than 300 million, breaking through Huawei’s previously preset "life and death line".

Yu Chengdong also said after the press conference that in the face of round-by-round supply restrictions, Huawei’s pace of innovation has never stopped, and Huawei will continue to empower the industry and accelerate intelligent transformation. "There is not a winter that will not pass. If you have passed the cold winter, it will be spring!"

Audi joined F1, who climbed who? | Sports events

Economic observation of original half-moon sports

After the long-lost offseason, the starting signal of F1 finally lights up again.

On February 29th, Beijing time, the opening match of the 2024 F1 season started in bahrain international circuit. In the first race of the new season, Red Bull Team still maintained a strong performance. In 2023, driver champion Vestapan and teammate Perez won the championship and runner-up, while the five major teams-Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Mei Ben and Aston Martin-won the top ten.

In the competition for the "Earth Group", Guanyu Zhou of Sauber Team won successfully and achieved the 11th place. Bahrain can be called the "blessed land" for China drivers. In the mid-2022 season, Guanyu Zhou’s F1 "debut" was staged in Bahrain, and the first show, the tenth successful score, surprised the paddock.

For Sauber, Guanyu Zhou’s stable performance in the past three years has lived up to their vision of material selection. However, as a "small team", Sauber needs to tap the potential of the car and introduce more resources to support it if he wants to make further progress in F1.

Sauber will wait for another two years, and in the 2026 season, Audi will start to enter the market.

The second plum blossom? Audi wants to acquire 100% equity of Sauber Team.

Before talking about Audi’s entry into F1, let’s review several key nodes.

First, at the end of August 2022, Audi officially announced that it would enter F1 in 2026. Marcus duesman, then chairman of Audi’s board of directors, said that it is an excellent opportunity for Audi to enter F1 by adopting the new competition rules of power unit in 2026.

Second, on October 26th, 2022, Audi officially announced that it would choose Sauber as its strategic partner to enter F1. Sauber will compete as an Audi factory team and use the power unit provided by Audi.

Third, in January 2023, Audi officially announced the acquisition of a minority stake in Sauber. Duesman, the former CEO of Audi, planned to gradually acquire most of Sober’s shares through a three-year plan. However, according to recent reports, Gernoth dorna, who took over from duesman, adjusted his plan to seek 100% control at the end of 2023. It is rumored that Oliver Hofmann, chief technology officer of Audi, will step down as CTO and take over the F1 project.

Audi wants to hold 100% of Sauber, just like the heart of Si Mazhao, which is well known. Audi’s ambition to enter F1 is nothing more than trying to make some achievements in F1. The last time a well-known car brand that was talked about by car fans bought a team and entered F1, it was also the German Trident. At that time, Mei Ben, also known as Durham Group, and its partner Aabar Investment Company acquired 75.1% and 24.9% shares of Brown GP Team in November 2009 and February 2011, respectively, and formally entered the paddock.

With strong R&D and investment, Mei Ben started the Eight Crown Dynasty. Also backed by the powerful Volkswagen Group, there is no reason for fans not to believe that Audi will make a breakthrough in the paddock, and even "re-carve" Mei Ben’s achievements.

The way to enter F1 is not only to acquire the existing fleet, but also to "expand the army". Why not choose the latter? Cost and adaptability may be the two major factors that Audi chooses to acquire.

Compared with the way of "expanding the army", the cost of Audi’s acquisition of Sauber team to enter F1 is obviously lower. Especially considering the overall appreciation of F1 events, letting a new team join means that the profits of 10 teams are less now. The lack of "cake" is obviously not happy for those with vested interests.

According to the 2023 financial report released by Free Media Group a few days ago, the total dividends of 10 F1 teams increased from $1.157 billion in 2022 to $1.215 billion in 2023.

In 2023, Team Andreetti of the United States has publicly stated that it wants to join the ranks of F1. Even though the FIA’s attitude is to expand the F1 market, especially the American market, nothing happened in the end. The prerequisite for Andreetti team to join is to pay a fee of 200 million US dollars, which is equivalent to buying F1 seats to compensate other teams.

The cost of $200 million is not a stumbling block for Audi, but it is the most difficult to win the consent of the other 10 teams. The lobbying cost and time cost involved are the most "expensive" for Audi. Instead of stumbling, it is better to buy a "Earth Group" team directly.

Secondly, the acquisition of Sauber will also enable Audi to retain the main team working structure after entering F1. As the apple of today’s motor racing, the operation of an F1 team involves many aspects, and these staff will play a key role in helping Audi to adapt to the pace of the paddock. Although Audi has a long history in racing, the German brand still needs to learn and adapt in F1.

According to foreign media reports, in the three years from 2023 to 2025, Audi will acquire 75% of Sauber’s shares for 450 million US dollars, while Sauber’s team’s valuation is about 600 million US dollars. This figure is less than 1% for Audi Group, which earned more than 61.8 billion euros (about 67 billion US dollars) in fiscal year 2022.

The new regulations in 2026 are in line with Audi’s strategic goals.

The importance of power unit to F1 racing car, I believe fans must know it very well. In August 2022, the FIA officially announced that in the 2026 season, the brand-new F1 power unit will be officially implemented. This will be the biggest change in the F1 power unit since the application of the V6 engine of the hybrid power system in 2014.

The most obvious change is that the new power unit puts more emphasis on electric energy and sustainable fuel. The power output of the new power unit will be tripled, and the transition from 120kW to 350kW motor-generator will bring more power. After introducing more powerful electric energy, the peak output of the system will exceed 1000 horsepower. The application of sustainable fuels has always been the direction of F1 efforts. F1 aims to fully use 100% sustainable fuel in 2026. These two tasks will make F1 stadium more environmentally friendly.

It is worth mentioning that the key to Audi’s entry into F1 is that the FIA abolished the energy recovery system called MGU-H in the new regulations in 2026. In short, MGU-H can provide power for MGU-K by converting thermal energy in exhaust gas into electrical energy, and the latter’s function is to convert kinetic energy generated during braking into electrical energy.

As a very advanced and complex technology, MGU-H is very expensive to build and is one of the more expensive parts in racing cars. So this is also a power component that many teams and engine suppliers want to abolish. Audi is willing to join the F1 competition because the MGU-H parts are excluded from the new regulations.

Under the new rules of power unit, it means that all teams will return to the same starting line. This is undoubtedly good news for the new Audi. Otherwise, if F1 is added before 2026, the power unit that has been used for two or three years will be equivalent to "invalid" in the 2026 season. From the perspective of time cost and money cost, it is obviously not in line with the actual situation. Then under the new rules, Audi and other teams set off at the same starting line.

In the final analysis, "electrification, environmental protection and sustainability" is still the core of Audi’s entry into F1, which is also where the new regulations in 2026 are in line with the strategic objectives of Audi Group. From the company level, audi ag has been emphasizing electrification and sustainable strategy in recent years. In March 2021, Volkswagen released the "ACCELERATE strategy", one of which was to accelerate the electrification transformation.

As for 100% sustainable fuel, it has always been the development goal of Volkswagen Group. The goal of German automobile brands is to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050.

Thus, from the strategic goal, the new F1 power unit regulations in 2026 are in line with the efforts of Audi and Volkswagen Group. This can partly explain why Audi chose to enter F1 in 2026.

Audi entered F1 for what?

Audi or Volkswagen has long been expected to enter the F1 track.

The reason lies in Audi’s accumulation in motor racing. Fans who are familiar with Audi brand or motorsport must know that Audi’s important DNA is motorsport spirit, and this brand has a history of 100 years. German brands have appeared in world-famous automobile races, and have achieved brilliant results in many races, but they have not appeared in F1 at the top of the pyramid in the form of motorcades.

Audi’s last and most important piece of racing puzzle will finally be put together in 2026. With the addition of Audi, F1 has added more attractions and topics. For Audi, there have been many opportunities to join F1, but why did it not enter until now? The reasons behind it are worth exploring. In my opinion, there are four main reasons.

First, the rising value of F1 events. After the free media group took over, the income and attention of F1 events increased greatly. According to the 2023 financial report of Free Media Group, the total revenue of F1 in 2023 was $3.222 billion, a year-on-year increase of 25%, and the operating profit also increased from $239 million to $392 million, a year-on-year increase of 64%.

The rising revenue of F1 events means that the penetration of motor racing is deepening to some extent. Then Audi, whose brand DNA is motorsport, has no reason not to join in today’s F1 race. With its years of experience and technical accumulation in motor racing, Audi’s journey in F1 may bring surprises to fans.

Secondly, it is the brand strategy of F1 and Audi. As mentioned above, Audi has accelerated the transformation of electrification. Under the application of the new rules, Audi can transfer the technology of hybrid power unit to the commercial models in the future through the practice in F1. It is foreseeable that electric vehicles will become the mainstream of the automobile market in the near future, so the technology and experience acquired by Audi in F1 will enhance Audi’s competitiveness in the wave of electrification.

In addition, it is Audi’s strategy of deepening youth and digitalization, which is also what F1 has been doing in recent years. The documentary "Drive to Survive" co-produced by F1 and Netflix created many highlights and topics for this event on streaming media, and successfully attracted a large number of new fans. A considerable part of these fans are young audiences, and Audi is also a car brand that emphasizes youthfulness. For Audi, this young audience may be one of the potential consumers of Audi’s target. Therefore, Audi’s brand strategy is consistent with the audience of F1 events today, which is also an important factor.

The third point is that both F1 and Audi are eyeing the China and American markets. China is Audi’s largest market in the world, accounting for 38.37% of its sales in 2023. China’s first F1 driver, Guanyu Zhou, played for Sauber, which cooperated with Audi. To some extent, this has promoted the development of motor racing in China. However, it is still unknown whether Guanyu Zhou will continue to play for the team in 2026. But what is certain is that Audi wants to continue to increase its market share in China, and Guanyu Zhou is their best choice.

As for the American market, it is also an important target of Audi’s efforts. In the American market in 2023, Audi sold 228,000 new cars, a year-on-year increase of 22%. At the same time, the United States is also a key market for F1. In the F1 race of the 2024 season, the United States occupied three sub-stations. This is enough to show the importance of the American market to F1. In other words, Audi can join hands with F1 to enhance its influence in the American market.

Finally, the key factor is that domenicali, the chairman and CEO of F1, once worked in Audi Group. In the process of Audi’s decision to enter F1, the "lobbying" role played by Italians was not ruled out. Domenicali, who has been at the helm of F1 since January 2021, once said that he would like to see more new manufacturers join F1.

In my opinion, rather than saying that Audi wants to join F1, F1 also wants Audi to join-several world-renowned automobile brands compete for the championship in F1, which will inevitably make the attention of the event by going up one flight of stairs, enhance the attention and correspondingly increase the income of the event. Therefore, the ultimate beneficiaries of Audi’s participation in F1 may be F1 events and the 10 teams in the paddock.

After all, everyone is good, which is really good.

March courageously on the new great journey

A hundred years of struggle, writing a magnificent epic; Great journey, calling for new progress. After a stirring year of 2021 and a hopeful year of 2022, the great ship "China" set sail and cut waves, and hundreds of millions of people were full of passion and pride.

The year 2021 is a landmark year in the history of the party and the country, and it is of special importance in the process of China’s modernization. Facing the interweaving of the changes in the past century and the epidemic situation in the century, and facing the extremely arduous and arduous tasks of domestic epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core is far-sighted and insightful, coordinating the two overall situations at home and abroad, coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, coordinating development and security, coordinating and promoting the overall layout of "five in one", coordinating and promoting the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, and uniting and leading the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to know how to shoulder heavy burdens and overcome difficulties.

This year, we won the battle against poverty as scheduled, built a well-off society in an all-round way as scheduled, and achieved the goal of the first century. The Communist Party of China (CPC) united and led the people of China to strive for self-improvement, made strenuous efforts, built a well-off society in an all-round way on the land of China, historically solved the problem of absolute poverty, and made the beautiful dream pursued by the Chinese nation come true. This is the great glory of the Chinese nation! This is a great honor for the people of China! This is a great honor for the Communist Party of China (CPC)! It is a milestone in the history of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s struggle, the development of new China and the history of Chinese civilization.

This year, we successfully started a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and marching towards the goal of the second century. New steps have been taken to build a new development pattern, new achievements have been made in high-quality development, the country’s strategic scientific and technological strength has been accelerated, the toughness of the industrial chain has been improved, the reform and opening up have been comprehensively deepened, the people’s livelihood has been effectively guaranteed, the grain output has won the "18 consecutive harvests", the construction of ecological civilization has been continuously promoted, the overall social situation has remained stable, the modernization of national defense and the army has been accelerated, and various serious natural disasters have been overcome, and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction have been solid. China’s economic development and epidemic prevention and control have maintained a leading position in the world

This year, we solemnly celebrated the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), conducted in-depth study and education on the history of the Party, and comprehensively summarized the great achievements and historical experience of the Party’s century-long struggle. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee deliberated and adopted the Party’s third historical resolution "the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Resolution on the Great Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party’s Centennial Struggle", which is a brilliant Marxist programmatic document, a political declaration for the Communist Party of China (CPC) people to keep in mind their initial mission, adhere to and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, a guide to action to learn from history, create the future and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and inspire the whole party and people of all ethnic groups to anchor their established goals and move forward in high spirits.

This year, we comprehensively promoted China’s diplomacy as a big country with characteristics, maintained and practiced true multilateralism, strived to build a new type of international relations, and promoted the building of a community of human destiny. We have made innovations in global changes, turned crises into opportunities in world chaos, courageously advanced in struggle and cooperation, and contributed China’s wisdom, China’s plan and China’s strength to jointly cope with various challenges and global problems faced by mankind and build a world with lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, tolerance and cleanliness.

The cross-flow of the sea shows the mainstay, and the mountains are majestic to see the main peak. These years since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China have been extremely unusual and extraordinary in the development of the cause of the Party and the country. The complexity and severity of the situation and environment faced by the Party, and the heaviness and arduousness of its tasks are rare in the world and history. With the courage of Marxist politicians and strategists, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader planned the overall situation at home and abroad, promoted reform, development and stability, domestic affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and managed the party, the country and the army, led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups to seize opportunities and overcome difficulties, and solved many problems that had been tried for a long time but not solved, and made many major events that had been tried but failed in the past. The most fundamental reason for the historic achievements and changes in the cause of the Party and the country lies in the fact that the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole party at the helm, and in the scientific guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era.

Practice fully shows that the Party’s establishment of the core position of the Party Central Committee and the whole Party, and the guiding position of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era reflect the common aspiration of the whole Party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, which is of decisive significance to the development of the cause of the Party and the country in the new era and the historical process of promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. History profoundly enlightens us that resolutely safeguarding the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole party is the key to the party’s consensus and decisive choice at major moments and an important guarantee for the party’s unity and victory.

The picture scroll of history is spread out in the process of tempering; The Hua Zhang of the times is written in the continuous struggle. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will be held in 2022, which is a major event in the political life of the Party and the country. It is necessary to maintain a stable and healthy economic environment, a social environment that is peaceful for the country and the people, and a clean and honest political environment. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Today, we are closer, more confident and capable of achieving the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history, and at the same time we must be prepared to make more arduous and arduous efforts." Embarking on a new road to catch up with exams, we know that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can never be achieved easily by beating gongs and drums. The closer we get to national rejuvenation, the less smooth it will be, the more full of risks, challenges and even stormy waves. We know that building a well-off society in an all-round way is only a key step towards the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Facing the bright future of national rejuvenation, a more glorious mission awaits us, and a greater miracle awaits us to create. We should carry forward the great spirit of party building, always be modest, prudent, unflappable and hard-working, keep the heroic spirit that the more difficult and dangerous it is, keep the high-spirited fighting spirit that dares to teach the sun, the moon and the sky to change into a new sky, and forge ahead courageously on the new great journey, striving to achieve the set goals with the perseverance of insisting that the castle peak will not relax, and pushing forward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the sober mind of those who walk a hundred miles.

To forge ahead courageously on the new great journey, we must maintain our strategic strength. From the scene of decline and withering 100 years ago to the prosperous weather today, the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) is the most fundamental reason why the people of China and the Chinese nation can reverse the historical destiny after modern times and achieve great achievements today. Today, with a foothold in China, inheriting Chinese civilization and taking the correct road in line with China’s national conditions, we have an incomparably broad development stage, an incomparably profound historical background and an incomparably strong determination to move forward. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, adhering to the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, fully implementing the Party’s basic theory, basic line and general plan, being firm in our determination to carry out the reform and opening up to the end, and striding forward on the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, we are sure to firmly hold the destiny of China’s development and progress in our own hands.

To forge ahead courageously on the new great journey, we must strengthen our historical self-confidence. Over the past 100 years, our party has devoted itself to the happiness of the people of China, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the progress of mankind, the harmony of the world, the public interest in the world and the right path in the world. This is the greatest confidence of our party in history, the historical confidence of our party in being in power in China for a long time, and the historical confidence of our party in uniting and leading the people to move forward. On the new way to catch up with the exam, whether we can continue to hand over excellent papers depends on whether we have firm historical self-confidence. Strengthen our faith in Marxism and communism, strengthen our faith in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, strengthen our confidence in realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, strengthen our historical self-confidence, build up our historical memory, do our own thing unswervingly, think with one heart and make efforts in one place, and we will certainly continue to succeed, and we will certainly succeed!

To forge ahead courageously on the new great journey, we must work hard. Socialism is done, and the new era is fought. Under the impact of the epidemic in the century, the changes in the past 100 years have accelerated and the external environment has become more complicated, severe and uncertain. China is in a critical period to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We must not forget our original intention, keep our mission in mind, answer the basic proposition "Where did we come from and where are we going?" We must always maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the Party and the people, practice the people-centered development thought, and always achieve development for the people, development depends on the people, and development results are shared by the people, inspiring the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of all people, and constantly realizing people’s yearning for a better life; Based on the new development stage, we should implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, promote high-quality development, enhance our viability, competitiveness, development and sustainability, and always survive and develop with vigor; We should stand on the right side of history and on the side of human progress, promote the building of a community of human destiny, promote the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom of all mankind, always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of the international order, and strive to make new and greater contributions to the progress of human civilization and world peace and development. Adhere to the bottom line thinking, enhance the sense of hardship, carry forward the spirit of struggle, master the strategy of struggle, practice the skills of struggle, overcome difficulties, forge ahead with determination, and be unstoppable and unstoppable. We will certainly overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles.Create a new era of glory and create a new historical cause.

Vast and boundless, sail but believe in the wind. Contemporary China has a magnificent country, heroic people and a bright future. Let’s unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences" and achieve the "two safeguards", strive to create new achievements worthy of the party, the people and the times, welcome the convening of the 20th Party Congress, and win even greater victories and glory in the new era and new journey!

Guangming Daily

Struggle, only unremitting struggle!

Every dawn looks forward to the sunshine, every grass cheers for the rain irrigation, every bell is the echo of life, and every blessing is the opening of the soul.

Hello, 2022!

A year ago, when we stepped into the threshold of 2021, our hearts were full of hope, hoping that everything would be fine in the new year.

We did it! Despite the twists and turns in the global economic recovery, despite the "stuck neck" factors, and despite the difficulties in China’s development, we still give 2021 outstanding significance:

We celebrate the centenary of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s birthday, sum up the great achievements and historical experience of the century-long struggle, and draw the strength of forging ahead from the study and education of party history. We won’t forget that a hundred years ago, China, nine summers ago, swayed in the Central Plains; Today’s China is peaceful at home, and Jin Ou is safe!

Although the epidemic is still not completely far away, "six guarantees and six guarantees" have made the economy play a prosperous movement: the factory machines are turning, the fireworks in the city are booming, and the fields are busy.

We have finally eliminated absolute poverty in a historic way, and even Xihaigu, who was lamented by Zuo Zongtang as "miserable and barren in the world", is yellow-haired and happy.

The well-off dream of the Chinese nation for thousands of years finally came into reality in 2021. Elevator has been installed in the old community, tables and chairs have been added to the mountain village primary school, beds have been added to the nursing home, and new equipment has been added to the sports ground. We have fully enjoyed "freedom of grain and oil", "freedom of fruits" and "freedom of vegetables"-this is because our income growth has outpaced the price growth.

There are many "small things about people’s livelihood", which are constantly improving: "double reduction" reduces the burden on children, "medical insurance" makes it cheaper for old people to see a doctor, and "running at most once" makes it convenient for the masses to do things.

Strategic science and technology is the "heavy weapon of the country": Zhu Rong explored Mars, the "trio" roamed the space, and the silent river man that Chinese ancestors looked up for countless times. Today, there is only a "business trip in space" between us.

Looking back, despite the dangers and ravines, we have proved by facts that the socialist system has unparalleled advantages! Pressure can’t disturb our pace of solving common prosperity, and noise can’t interfere with our determination to move towards national rejuvenation. With tenacious efforts, we have lived out the dignity and heroism of China people!

In the brand-new year, we are based on high-quality development and also require solving high-level propositions. How to keep the rice bowl firmly in the hands of China people? How to deal with the triple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock and expected weakening in economic development? How to effectively link poverty alleviation to rural revitalization, from poverty alleviation to solid wealth, assistance to mutual benefit, industry to industrial development, material wealth to spiritual wealth? How to coordinate the relationship between "making a big cake" and "dividing a good cake"? How to straighten out the mechanism of carbon reduction and fulfill China’s climate commitment? ….. This task list for the New Year is heavy, difficult and responsible.

In the new year, we are more eager for a predictable life and order than ever before, and we also need to meet the changes and challenges in our lives. The city we are striving for will develop, and the countryside we are attached to will be revitalized. Everyone should re-recognize these variables in the social process and find their own position under the big coordinates.

Can be based on the present, but also can climb high and look far; Strive for the "small family" and rush for "everyone". Because the facts tell us that to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it is not advisable to lie flat, it is impossible to lie flat and win, and the struggle is just the right time!

Indeed, lofty dreams will eventually be realized by unremitting strugglers and dream catchers. From an octogenarian academician rooted in the frontier to a "burning lamp" teacher who teaches in Dashan; From the technological "mastery" of promoting high-level scientific and technological self-reliance to the "first secretary" who goes deep into the forefront of rural revitalization … China people who are brilliant have cultivated the ordinary and cast the extraordinary.

History does not forget the pioneers, the times do not live up to the dreamers, and the years do not waste the heart. The past is a preface, once again standing on a new starting line.

We have the responsibility to make the sky bluer, the water clearer, the flowers brighter and the moon more round;

We have an obligation to make the wind correct, our hearts more harmonious, our feelings warmer and our strength stronger;

We have confidence to make our dreams closer, our roads wider, our people richer and our country stronger …

What should I do in the new year? The answer is in your hands and mine!

Southern Weekend

Every choice is expected to come through thick and thin.

No one thought that what left the truest portrait for China people’s daily life this year was a series of "tunes".

The 52-year-old Shaoxing taxi driver has been running a sports car for 20 hours every day for many days; A man on a business trip to Xuzhou debugs equipment day after day and spends 10 minutes at night eating McDonald’s for his 44th birthday. The 45-year-old Nanjing mother, except for cleaning at the airport, takes her children to various training courses. The 35-year-old father lives in Dongguan at night, and after sending the children in the morning, he goes to Shenzhen to work by bus and subway. Uncle Shenyang’s chicken rack, Guangzhou Apo’s morning tea, Yangzhou Tiantian Mahjong Hall, and many octogenarians from Yunnan traveled to Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia, making life in the epidemic show local customs; The plight of Ruili residents, the embarrassment of Yili tourists, and the blockade of Xi’ an city are distressing, as if they were suffering …

Those rough details, the track of struggling to live, the love, responsibility and tenacity in monotonous repetition truly reflect the daily life of ordinary people in China, which is more touching than the global COVID-19 epidemic figures broadcast in a rolling way.

But after all, the epidemic has changed everyone’s daily life, and the arrow of time can’t be reversed, and the world will never return to the past. How many solid things are disappearing, and the cracking sound in those ears is like thunder that lingers in the depths of time.

The old page quietly turned over, without formal goodbye. The new world speeds up the puzzle, and there will be no friendly tips. On the daily life of the general public, the hundred-year changes overlapping with the COVID-19 epidemic are intertwined and evolving. History is flowing, rushing and scouring, scouring new riverbeds and engraving new trends.

A new "three rooms and one living room" was built in the outer space station, which blurred the virtual and reality in the meta-universe and refreshed the concept of time and space in multiple dimensions. "The biggest tornado in history", "Blizzard once in a thousand years", the first flash flood in new york, the hottest summer in Europe, and the extreme global climate make the real world operation logic unsustainable; Refugees from the Middle East have hit the fragile European Union, American troops are eager to fly out of the quagmire of Afghanistan, Russia and Ukraine are competing to station troops, Palestinian-Israeli missiles are confronting each other, and great powers are wrestling to put unprecedented pressure on global relations.

Strange picture, strange language, strange rhythm, but who can stop this rolling tide? Hunting is on the rise, and we have stood at the crossroads of the greatest era in a hundred years.

▲ On November 28th, 2021, a group of college students doing morning exercises were running on a beach in Yantai City, Shandong Province.

Where is the birth gate and where is the way out? Who can take the lead and who can laugh at the end? Only by taking the initiative to break the game, making a decisive start, determining the direction and choosing the first opportunity can we extract the continuous strength.

Choose first, in the present.

Choice is the call of the ages, listening to the inherent sigh of life. A gentleman lives in an easy place to wait for his life, but a villain takes risks to be lucky.

The choice is patient and lasting love, and it is to plan for yourself, your relatives, passers-by and the future of your home and country.

The choice is to take responsibility, but even if you are in the desert, you should become a camel, not an ostrich.

The choice is courage, rising after facing the gloom, and accepting strangeness, change and results.

The choice is a contest, a hard grip on fate’s throat and an upright posture.

Choice is a new life, a stronger soul after nirvana, a light as a swallow after destroying decay and washing the marrow and changing bones, a philosophical sublimation from pessimism, and a green hill that eventually turns into youth.

People’s choices are difficult to be smooth everywhere, but please don’t be duckweed. And every one of you and me, never lying flat, never by the sky, should strive to carve a mark on the compass of the times and destiny, and gather thousands of millet into a torrent and collect it in the sea.

▲ Three groups of villagers in Xinzhuang Village, Junqiao Town, Hukou County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province are drying the newly harvested late rice.

Looking back on this year, the choice on the red boat a hundred years ago brought the Chinese nation the realization of the first century-long struggle goal and the start of a new journey of the second century-long struggle; "Common Prosperity" was demonstrated in Zhejiang, and "Three Distribution" was popular all over the network; The newly-elected system in Hong Kong has landed, and personal information protection and anti-monopoly have shown their swords; The real estate tax pilot has been creaking, and the "double carbon" promises to depict green mountains and green hills; "All-round three children" landed at the speed of light, and the "double reduction policy" made a heavy attack; The Internet bid farewell to sturm und drang, and the "inferior artists" disappeared overnight …

Perhaps, it will be 10, 30 or 50 years before all the implications of these big events and big choices can be fully revealed, but you and I are both insiders. Everyone is both being chosen and being chosen. Right here, right now.

Of course, there is a price to choose, especially in this great change. The choice is as heavy as a thousand, and it is even more necessary for those who have the heart not to give up and those who are powerful not to give up, and to shoulder the dust of the times together.

You have your choice, I have my choice, the choice of family, the choice of state-owned, the choice of civilization and the choice of history. Hundreds of millions of choices converge, and the world is uneven and diverse, and the universe is truly vast. But no matter how big or small, every choice is an active change, and everyone is looking forward to a bitter experience. Just like every new bud that breaks ground, it has the stubbornness to penetrate time.

On this road, we watch and help each other, make light for the discouraged and salt for the tasteless. Let the weak stand up, let the timid stop wandering, help the frustrated regain their confidence, reach out to the drowning person, comfort and hug the grieving person, make the tired person fall into a deep sleep, and provide the homeless with the last resort. This is our common choice.

No regrets, the choice itself is to move forward.

From one change to another, from one time and space to another, it is difficult to choose between good and bad, but to seek a clear conscience; Whether the choice is successful or not, the back has its own light.

Although there are thousands of people, I am going!

May this moment, when the snow washes away the dirt, the wind blows away the shadows. Bathe in the warm sunshine and listen to everything breathe. Time makes sweet wine, which belongs to everyone who is struggling to make a choice.

I wish you a happy new year.

Shenzhen Special Zone Daily

Times are like tide, and we are rushing together.

Over the hill of 2021, we stepped into the river of 2022. At this moment, let’s bless each other and cherish each other.

The sun, the moon, and the rivers. In the meantime, there is alternating light of black and white, vastness of mountains and rivers, and the power of all things to grow.

Bathing in the sunshine of the New Year, some inner expectations will be broken in trivial life, and some dreams for the future will be pulled out from the dull days. May you look back without regret, and may you move forward with strength.

The epidemic situation in the century is intertwined with the changes in the past century, and the future has repeatedly demonstrated its uncertainty, and it has also constantly honed our nerves to fight against the wind and waves. "You don’t have to worry about the present, and you don’t have to worry too much about the future. There is no useless experience in life, so if we keep walking, it will definitely be bright." While sighing "I am too difficult", I gritted my teeth and insisted. We have never given up the courage to face the unknown and pursue a beautiful initial heart, and created our own certainty and harmony in the unpredictable waves of time.

People’s time series is often easy to change. I like to see how extraordinary this time is. In 2021, major events will follow one after another, which is a milestone in the history of the party and the country and will surely go down in history. It is also a year of great significance in the history of Shenzhen’s reform, opening up and innovation. In the fleeting time, what we see and feel is an indomitable and prosperous China, and a rapidly changing and pioneering Shenzhen.

In this year, the pilot project of comprehensive reform in Shenzhen was full of bright spots. The reform and opening up of Qianhai Cooperation Zone opened a new bureau, and the "five major actions" of innovation and development were solidly promoted. The construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s first demonstration city under the rule of law was fully launched, and major national strategies such as "double-zone" construction and "double-reform" demonstration were accelerated, and the first demonstration effect became more and more obvious. The 2021 Shenzhen Global Investment Conference was successfully held, and the contracted projects and total investment rose against the trend and reached a new high. Domestic and foreign investors continued to be firmly optimistic about Shenzhen and chose Shenzhen; The Shenhui Intercity Project started, the Jiangxi-Shenzhen high-speed railway was successfully opened to traffic, the satellite hall of Baoan International Airport was officially opened, and the soaring Shenzhen wings were fuller; We continued to invest nearly 70% of our fiscal expenditure in people’s livelihood, set off a boom in the construction of basic degrees, high-level hospitals, housing and public supporting facilities, and successfully entered the list of candidate cities for "China’s happiest city in 2021" … In this extraordinary year, Shenzhen made a good start in the 14th Five-Year Plan, handed over excellent answers to the centenary of the founding of the Party, and inspired people to leave for a new exam. In the stormy waves of the times, Shenzhen, which is breaking the waves, is stable, and the happiness of Shenzhen people is stable. Its actions are firm and its effects are gratifying.

This year, there are too many moments and pictures engraved into my memory, and too many feelings and warmth poured into my heart. We will never forget that in the face of "5.21" and "6.14" local epidemics, frontline anti-epidemic workers sweated in the scorching sun and set up "mobile tents" in the rainstorm; We will never forget that on the eve of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s centenary birthday, the huge party emblem rose solemnly in the Shenzhen night sky; We will never forget the speed and passion, struggle and shouting of Shenzhen athletes in the Olympic Games. We will never forget that the night Meng Wanzhou returned to the embrace of the motherland, the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind reflected her affectionate confession; We will never forget that Sun Zhuo, who has been abducted for 14 years, cried with joy when he was reunited with his parents … We remembered them, remembered those things, and remembered the beautiful qualities that shone in them, such as Dan’s heart for the party, sincerity for the people, selfless dedication, hard work and perseverance. They gathered into the "Shenzhen" energy of 2021, writing a stroke of the times.

The wise change from time to time, the wise make the system according to the situation, and the strong advance with the situation.

2022 is the year of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In the crucial year, "keep the word steady and strive for progress in stability". For Shenzhen, it is necessary to be mindful of the "two overall situations" and "the country’s biggest person", always be prepared for danger in times of peace, maintain strategic strength and patience, "be broad and meticulous", take the lead in demonstrating the national mission and make progress for national rejuvenation and people’s happiness.

To "strive for progress while being stable", we should strive to "seek", "change" with "stability" and "advance" to promote "stability". Practice has fully proved that if we firmly support and safeguard the core position of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, the whole party will have the fixed star, the people of the whole country will have the backbone, and the Chinese "Fuxing" will have the helm. In the face of risk challenges, we will be able to "let the wind and waves rise and sit firmly in the fishing boat." Unswervingly transforming the "two establishment" into the ideological consciousness, political consciousness and action consciousness of resolutely implementing the "two maintenance", Shenzhen will be able to stand firm and fearless. "Stability" is the basic disk and "progress" is the key word. Shenzhen, which is at the forefront of the tide, needs to be proactive and demonstrate first, run out of "acceleration" in the landing of major strategies, consolidate its competitiveness in the strengthening of urban functions, and show new responsibilities in the layout of new tracks and the expansion of new kinetic energy.

Strength comes from unity, and happiness comes from struggle. Strive for a new journey, no bystanders, no outsiders. Every vivid you and I are the waves of the times. Whether it is the back wave or the front wave, we must rush forward. Let’s March into the future together. The gathering of streams is the torrent of China’s high-spirited progress in the new era, and it is a magnificent historical chapter.

Dear readers, let’s stand on the top of the tide together. In 2022, Shenzhen Special Zone Daily will celebrate its 40th birthday. From the quenching of "lead and fire" to the shining of "light and electricity" and then to the blending of "number and network", we have been running in the forefront of the times. Forty years old, we are at a critical moment of "advancing reform to a dangerous beach, deepening media integration, and advancing innovation and development to a high point". We are well aware that transformation is to conform to the trend of the times and create news products that meet the needs and are more valuable for readers. We will anchor the position of "the first newspaper of reform and opening-up", charge at the "wall entrance" of content construction, tell the stories of China, Greater Bay Area and Shenzhen in the new era well, and go to a better future with you.

Every step is ahead. The greatest generosity to the future is to give everything to the present. Let’s work hard, persevere, sweat to make life wonderful, continue to struggle and write more "spring stories", and live up to history and the times!

Huawei released HarmonyOS 4.2 upgrade, and 180 devices will be adapted one after another.

[Global Network Technology Comprehensive Report] On May 15th, at the new product launch conference of Huawei in summer, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei and chairman of terminal BG, announced that 180 devices would be upgraded to the latest HarmonyOS 4.2 operating system. This upgrade covers many popular models such as Huawei Mate 60 series, Mate X5 series, Pocket 2 and nova 12 series, which indicates Huawei’s continuous progress in the field of smart device operating systems.

It is reported that more than 800 million devices have been equipped with the HarmonyOS system. The newly released HarmonyOS 4.2 version will bring users a more colorful, intelligent and convenient experience. As the first equipment equipped with new system, Huawei Pura 70 series will enjoy many new features brought by system upgrade.

HarmonyOS 4.2 introduces five sets of interactive themes, including geometric stickers, geometric parties, interesting scenes, mood stickers and mood parties. These themes not only support finger-click interaction, but also can move according to the change of users’ gaze angle, which greatly enriches users’ personalized expression.

In terms of intelligence, HarmonyOS 4.2 brings AI elimination and AI cloud enhancement functions to Huawei Pura 70 series based on AI big model technology, which can automatically optimize photo quality, eliminate unnecessary background elements and enhance image details through cloud processing. In addition, the brand-new smart assistant Xiaoyi has also been upgraded, with stronger natural language understanding and dialect recognition functions, and can also provide a variety of practical functions such as beauty consultant and document processing.

In terms of performance and safety, HarmonyOS 4.2 improves the chirality of the system through the Ark engine, making the operation smoother.

  [A Brief History of Development] On May 9, 1950, French Foreign Minister Schumann issued a statement (known as "Schumann Plan" in history), suggesting that France and Germany establish a coal and steel community. In July 1952, France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg formally established the European Coal and Steel Community. In January 1958, six countries established the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community. In July 1967, the main institutions of the three communities merged and were collectively called the European Community. In November 1993, the Treaty on European Union (also known as the Maastricht Treaty) came into effect, and the European Community evolved into the European Union (EU). In January 2002, the euro entered circulation smoothly. After the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty in 2009, the EU has the qualification as a subject of international law, and formally replaced and inherited the European Community. The Lisbon Treaty also provides for the relevant procedures for member States to withdraw from the EU for the first time.

  The EU has experienced seven expansions: Britain, Ireland and Denmark joined in 1973; Greece joined in 1981; Spain and Portugal joined in 1986; Austria, Finland and Sweden joined in 1995; On May 1, 2004, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Cyprus and Malta joined the EU.

  Britain decided to leave the EU by referendum in June 2016, and left the EU on January 31, 2020 and entered a transitional period until December 31, 2020.

  [Internal Construction] The European integration construction has made continuous positive progress in twists and turns for more than half a century. The European Union has successively established a customs union, implemented common trade policies, agricultural and fishery policies, unified the internal big market, and basically realized the free circulation of goods, people, capital and services. Established an economic and monetary union and unified the currency in the euro zone. The integration construction has gradually expanded to the fields of diplomacy, security, justice and internal affairs, and has made continuous progress. Through the Treaty of Amsterdam and the Treaty of Nice, the EU has gradually incorporated the Schengen Agreement into the EU legal framework and judicial cooperation in the civil field into the EU mechanism. After the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty in 2009, the reform of the EU mechanism started one after another. In that year, Van Rompuy, the first permanent president of the European Council, and Ashton, the first EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission, were elected. In March 2010, the European Union put forward a plan for the establishment of the External Action Agency, and the appointment of the main positions and the establishment of the agency were initially completed the following year. After the outbreak of the European debt crisis, the EU further promoted relevant reforms, including actively promoting the construction of banking union, capital market union, energy union and single digital market, and strengthening cooperation in the fields of security and defense. At present, the EU is the group of countries with the highest degree of regional integration in the world.

  [External Relations] The EU External Action Agency is the competent department of the EU’s external relations, which consists of six general departments: Asia-Pacific, Europe and Central Asia, Americas, Africa, Middle East and North Africa and Human Rights, Global and Multilateral Affairs. The authority includes traditional foreign policy, development policy, human rights, military security, civil crisis management and other fields.

In June 2016, the EU issued a global strategy of foreign and security policy entitled "Common Vision, Common Action: A Stronger Europe", aiming at the four common interests of promoting peace and security, achieving prosperity, promoting democracy and establishing a rules-based international order, and taking "principled pragmatism" as the basic program of foreign action. In December 2019, the new EU institutions decided to take "pragmatism, unity and partnership" as the three major diplomatic principles and vigorously carry out "climate diplomacy".

  Relations with Britain.

In December, the United States once again announced the imposition of tariffs on European products, and the European Union said that member States would jointly respond to the US-Canada tariff plan.

  Relations with Russia. EU attaches importance to its relations with Russia. Russia is the largest neighbor, the third largest trading partner and an important energy source of the European Union. At the same time, there are differences and contradictions between Europe and Russia on issues such as energy supply and European security. The Ukrainian crisis has seriously affected European-Russian relations, leading to economic sanctions imposed by the European Union on Russia. In June 2019, the EU announced the extension of sanctions against Russia until June 23, 2020.

  Relations with western Balkan countries. The EU has held many summits with five western Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, northern Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia) and Kosovo, mainly discussing regional economic development and the accession of western Balkan countries.

The EU is concerned about the Middle East peace process and advocates recognizing Israel’s right to exist and the Palestinian people’s right to establish a state, and peacefully resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict through political negotiations. The EU is seriously concerned about the announcement by the United States to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the impact this will have on the prospects for peace in the Middle East. The EU is committed to safeguarding the Iranian nuclear deal, supporting the "trade settlement support mechanism" of Britain, France and Germany, and expressing concern about Iran’s reduced compliance. The EU is the largest provider of humanitarian assistance to Syria, supports Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, advocates political channels to solve the Syrian issue, and actively promotes the Syrian opposition to participate in peace talks. The EU is concerned about Libyan refugees, terrorism, arms smuggling and other issues, supports the UN-led peace process, and calls for political dialogue to solve the Libya issue.

  Relations with other Asian countries. The EU attaches great importance to its relations with Asia and continues to increase its investment in the region.
